Buckeye remains identified as Jesse Wilson By Connor Dziawura Buckeye police are confident they will solve the case of 10-year-old Jesse Wilson, whose remains were recently located and identified through forensic analysis. The department has not yet ruled out any possibilities or named any suspects, though the case is being treated as a homicide. “While it is not the outcome of which we hoped, we want to stress that this is not the end of this investigation,” Detective Tamela Skaggs said. “The Buckeye Police Department, along with state and federal partners, will continue pursuing this investigation until its conclusion. We believe this case will be resolved, and Jesse deserves nothing less.” The partial human skeletal remains were discovered by a Buckeye municipal employee – previously identified by Police Chief Larry Hall as a street sweeper – in the area of State Route 85 and Broadway Road around 10:30 a.m. Thursday, March 8. The individual immediately reported the findings to police, and a subsequent search revealed additional remains scattered throughout the area. The remains were submitted to the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office and Arizona Department of Public Safety Crime Lab for forensic analysis and further testing. The bones were confirmed to belong to Jesse through DNA samples provided by his biological father. His adoptive mother, Crystal, was

notified by police following the discovery. Police have confirmed she is out of state, though Skaggs predicts she will be interviewed soon. Though many early questions can be put aside, much still stands to be uncovered. Cause of death and whether or not the remains originated in the field in which

they were found are “undetermined at this time,” Skaggs said, with police awaiting additional results from DPS. Because cause of death is not yet known, signs of foul play have not yet been confirmed. The FBI will continue to assist Buckeye police

Tolleson hosts its first State of the City address By Juan Escobedo

Tolleson Mayor Anna Tovar highlighted several of the city’s achievements during the municipality’s first State of the City address on March 27 at the Tolleson Union High School District Office. More than 100 community members heard Tovar discuss the 91st Avenue expansion, a new city hall and city complex, a beautification plan, a senior

center and parks and recreation center, and the new home for Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 6310. “Tolleson has always been a diamond in the rough,” Tovar said. “Now it’s time to make that diamond shine for the rest of the world to see.” In March, crews began expanding 91st Avenue, Tovar said. The project, set for

completion in December, will make room for the new Marriott hotel and retail space. Tovar calls 91st Avenue the “gateway to our community” and said it should welcome visitors with a safe, efficient and aesthetically pleasing road design.

Remains...continued from page 1 moving forward. “The FBI’s thoughts and prayers are definitely with the community, everybody affected by this case,” said FBI Supervisory Special Agent Lance Leising, citing difficulty on the community, investigators and Wilson’s family and friends. “We stand by Buckeye Police Department in seeking justice for Jesse, and we’ll continue to be there for them.”

The search for Jesse Wilson Jesse was reported missing from his home in Buckeye’s Sundance community in the early hours of July 18, 2016. Previous reports state Crystal thought he slipped out of his bedroom window sometime after 9:30 p.m. the night prior. He was last seen wearing a red T-shirt and underwear, though grey shorts, black shoes and socks were also reported missing. Hundreds of citizens and law enforcement personnel worked together with the aid of K-9s and drones to conduct searches by foot, vehicle and air. The area in which Jesse’s remains

were found is believed by police to have been underwater at the time of previous searches, though it is also still unknown if the remains were even there at the time. Weather, landscape and animal activity are other factors Skaggs said must be accounted for. Jesse’s siblings – a twin sister and their older brother – remain in foster care after having been removed from their home by the Arizona Department of Child Safety following Jesse’s disappearance. Previous reports also show Crystal was a no-show for a subsequent custody hearing involving the three children. With Jesse’s remains having been identified, Skaggs confirmed police are still in touch with Crystal. Tracing the story back even further, Jesse is reported to have frequently snuck out. He was found wandering near his home in April 2011. Shortly thereafter, reports show Avondale police received tips saying Crystal had abused five adopted children, though no evidence was found to support the claim. “Jesse was a bright, energetic, caring young man, was well liked by his friends and teachers,” Skaggs said at

We in law enforcement have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support for Jesse and are eternally grateful for the continued assistance.”

One step closer Though Hall would not reveal the ways in which the remains bring investigators closer to cracking the case, he said he is comfortable with the direction of the case. He said police investigative measures couldn’t be brought to light. “I wish I could say it’s closure, but it’s not because we haven’t found the person responsible, but I do believe there’s a lot less questions that we’re asking ourselves,” he said. “And there’s a lot less questions that the community

is asking right now related to ‘Where is he?’” But even with questions still standing, Skaggs and Hall stress their confidence in the investigators on the case. “We are confident that we will solve this case, and we will take this information and go forward with it,” Skaggs said. “We want justice in this case, and we need Jesse to have justice in this case.” Buckeye Police urge anyone with information to contact the department’s tip line at 623-349-6411 or bdptips@ buckeyeaz.gov.

Pickleball players in Goodyear can look forward to the addition of four courts at Goodyear Community Park this summer. The current basketball court surface will be taken down and resurfaced to make room for new basketball courts, as well as the first public pickleball-specific facility in the city. Though Goodyear re-striped multiple tennis courts around town to allow for pickleball play, the demand for adequate facilities has risen. While the current courts at Goodyear Community Park are still in good shape, the renovation sprung from multiple requests from the public and local pickleball-playing community to increase playing space in the area. “(Pickleball’s) appeal has really grown in the last few years, and a lot of the players are really passionate about it,” Goodyear Parks and Recreation manager David Seid said. “It’s a really social game where people can play it and enjoy a healthy activity outdoors with their family and friends but that all abilities and ages can play.” The project, according to the Parks and Recreation Department, is set to begin in April, with a completion date estimated around June 30. Project Manager Walter Kinsler said the construction crews will demolish the surface, place light poles and hook them up to adequate electricity sources, resurface the courts, paint them one color and paint new lines for pickleball courts and two full-size high school basketball courts. A potential hiccup in the process could be the rising cost of steel, which Kinsler said has the project’s contractors a bit concerned that the construction process might be delayed by a few weeks. “We have some galvanized steel in our fence posts, in our light posts and in our basketball hoop standards, so that may have a little play on our price,” he said. “And we also don’t know if many manufacturers are going to have as much inventoried.” If the process is delayed at all, he said there are temporary solutions, such as surfacing the courts and only allowing daytime play at first, while the lights are still being constructed for play in the dark. However, such a solution should be seen only as a last resort, and Kinsler said that, at least for now, he and the city of Goodyear trust that the development and construction process will go smoothly. “Our contractor has given us a 60-day schedule, so he’s committed to that 60 days, and we’re committing him to it,” he said.

During her talk, Tovar said it’s time for a new city hall, too. “It has served our community well,” she said about the existing building. “But if Tolleson wishes to maintain a competitive economic development edge and is to be perceived as a worldclass municipality, we need to look and act like it.” Part of that plan is a beautification project. The Tohono O’odham Nation awarded $93,000 to Tolleson to reinvest in infrastructure and downtown businesses. According to Tovar, more than $500,000 in city general funds will be used to revitalize homes throughout Tolleson and $325,000 in federal aid will be used to rescue the city’s aging homes. Tovar said she is excited about a new parks and recreation center that will offer many programs to the

community. She said it will appeal to all generations. “Tolleson is all about business, family and heart,” said John Safin, president and CEO of the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. In the past year, education has been the focus for the city, which invested more than $500,000 to maintain school programs such as after-school programs. “The support TESD receives from the city of Tolleson and its council is tremendous. We feel so fortunate to belong to a city that truly puts education first,” said Tolleson Elementary School Superintendent Dr. Lupita Highwater Tolleson’s VFW Post 6310 is also expecting to move into a new home in 2018, according to Tovar. Tovar promises their projects will continue. “I promise our vision for the future of Tolleson will forever reside in the hearts of our people,” Tovar said. “It is our people who truly value our community and will catapult the city of Tolleson to heights we’ve never been before,” Tovar said.

Senior meal service expands to five days By West Valley View staff Meals of Joy, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing hot meals to seniors in need, has expanded its service to five days. Along with the added day, Meals of Joy implemented client-requested changes like improved meal packaging and more entrée offerings. The nonprofit was founded in 2015 to offer fresh, hand-delivered meals to seniors who are unable to cook for themselves or are on a limited budget. Meal price is determined by income, and the organization hopes to continue to increase its funding to provide more meals to seniors who may be on very limited incomes or unable to pay. “We are on a mission to make sure every senior in need has a fresh, healthy meal to eat,” said Meals of Joy founder Larry Cervarich. “Meals of Joy offers a meal plan that is very flexible—our clients only order the meals they want. There are no application fees or minimum orders. We want people to be pleased with our food and not be forced to eat meals they don’t enjoy.” In Arizona, 17 percent of the senior population are at risk of going hungry. Every day, they make the difficult choice between basic needs such as health care or a healthy meal.

Buckeye endorses Arizona Education Progress Meter By Connor Dziawura The city of Buckeye recently announced its support for the Arizona Education Progress Meter. Developed by Expect More Arizona and the Center for the Future of Arizona, the Progress Meter compiles data from various sources to provide eight key metrics of Arizona education. The key metrics are attainment, post-high school enrollment, opportunity youth, the high school graduation rate, eighth-grade math, third-grade reading, quality early learning and teacher pay. Along with current numbers, which were most recently updated in November, the Progress Meter provides improvement goals for 2030. “We appreciate the vision and direction that the Progress Meter provides,” said Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck. “Education has always been a priority in our community – we’re proud to support our schools and the educators who are preparing Buckeye’s youth for a bright future.”

Attainment sits at 43 percent, with a goal of 60 percent. This metric represents the percent of residents who have completed a 2- or 4-year degree or have received an industry certificate. Post-high school enrollment, or the percent of high school graduates enrolled in postsecondary education the semester after graduating high school, is at 53 percent. The goal is 70 percent. Opportunity youth is the percent of 16 to 24 year olds not enrolled in school or employed. This statistic is at 14 percent, with a goal to decrease it to 7 percent. The high school graduation rate sits at 80 percent, though the goal is for 90 percent. The percent of eighth-grade students prepared to be successful in high school math is at 36 percent, though the goal is 69 percent. Only 44 percent of third grade students scored proficiently or highly proficient on the AzMERIT

English language arts assessment. The Progress Meter’s goal is 72 percent. Quality early learning, or the percent of 3- and 4-year-olds enrolled preschool settings deemed high quality, is at 21 percent. The goal is to more than double it to 45 percent. And, finally, Arizona ranks 50th in median elementary teacher pay in the United States. The goal of the meter and its metrics, according to Expect More Arizona, is to support a shared vision for a worldclass education in Arizona. The goals show where improvement needs to be made. Achievement of said goals will support a prosperous economy, student knowledge and credentials for good jobs, and improved civic health of communities. “The city of Buckeye has long made education a top priority,” said

Donna Davis, senior community engagement manager at Expect More Arizona. “The quality of education in a region has a sizable impact on the economy and overall well-being of its residents, so it’s no surprise that Buckeye would join this statewide effort to ensure a quality education for all students.” Upon its launch in 2016, the meter had over 40 major endorsements. Aside from Buckeye, numerous other cities like Phoenix, Flagstaff, Tempe and Sedona have announced support. For more information on the Progress Meter, visit expectmorearizona.com/ progress.

Avondale police to get raises, 25 YEARS OF HONEST SERVICE new post-retirement benefits & HONEST VALUE No Commission Sales & No Hidden Fees

By Connor Dziawura Avondale police staff will soon see raises and the addition of other benefits after the City Council approved an agreement with the Avondale Police Association (AvPA). It will take effect in fiscal years 2018-19 and 2019-20. The benefits come as part of a revision to an existing memorandum of understanding between the city and association. Updates are discussed every two years, Assistant Manager Gina Montes said. The updates modify the base pay for police officers and sergeants. They will receive, through a step system, a 2.5-percent market adjustment as well as a 2.5-percent one-step increase. The total—5-percent merit increase—will take effect during the first pay period of fiscal year 2018-19. The following fiscal year, 2019-20, officers and sergeants will receive a two-step increase for a 5-percent total merit increase. “We decide whether they get one or two steps, just depending on what we think the budget is going to look like and what we come to an agreement on in the negotiations,” Montes explained. Sections regarding specialty pay were also amended. The field training officer and sergeant supervising field training officer pay sections will give specialty pay “by shift or actual hours, whichever is greater.” Sergeants training new sergeants will be given 5-percent specialty pay by the greater of shift or actual hours. Additionally, specialty pay of 5-percent of eligible wages will be paid to members of the Community Action Team for the term of the assignment. Beyond base and specialty pay, the memorandum of understanding establishes a two-year pilot program allowing members of the patrol bureau to choose either a holiday leave bank or holiday pay. Montes said city and police department employees who aren’t sergeants or patrol receive an 80-hour holiday leave bank each fiscal year. As most city officials are already off on Fridays, employees can use this bank to get time off for holidays that occur on other days. Currently, patrol officers receive eight hours of holiday pay, and time and a half for any holidays worked.

Now, however, the memorandum of understanding will allow them to opt into the holiday leave bank. Montes says this will allow officers to determine whether the time or pay is more valuable when a holiday occurs. “It’s up to the individual officer,” she said. “If they decide they want time off instead of extra pay for working a holiday, then they can do that. And then that means that they would have to take it at another time other than the holiday.” The fourth major change includes a new post-retirement health plan. It enables AvPA members to save funds toward health care costs after retirement. Because of IRS regulations, though, 100-percent participation from AvPA members is required. Once achieved, the plan will be established and then become mandatory for all AvPA members. Funding will come from mandatory eligible AvPA unit members’ contributions. Aside from notable updates to officer pay, holidays and post-retirement plans, the AvPA negotiated with City Council for other amendments. The on-call status/call back, chief of police internal affairs committee, and deferred compensation sections all include slight modifications. The discussions and revisions are allowed by City Ordinance 1323-808. Due to this ordinance, the AvPA’s request for discussions regarding revisions to the memorandum of understanding was approved. Discussions were had between November and late January. The memorandum will have a $12,049,238 budgetary impact on wages, benefits and overtime in fiscal year 2018-19. As laid out in the agenda, this is a 4.9-percent– or $558,497 – increase over the current year. The following year, it will increase by 4.4-percent – or $527,810 – for a total of $12,577,048. A further breakdown reveals that in fiscal year 2018-19, increases are $378,133 for wages, $148,000 for benefits, $32,364 for overtime, $7,670 for deferred compensation and $32,466 for specialty pay. In fiscal year 2019-20, increases are $357,303 for wages, $139,890 for benefits, $30,617 for overtime and $33,995 for specialty pay.

Two West Valley school districts raise teacher pay

By Connor Dziawura The Agua Fria Union High and Litchfield Elementary school districts recently approved raises for teachers, thanks to last fall’s maintenance and operations override. Previously a 10-percent override, it was this time passed for 15 percent. Agua Fria’s governing board approved the raises at a March 21 meeting. Litchfield approved its raises the night before. Both will take effect in the 2018-19 school year. “Our community has supported the override in general,” said Agua Fria Superintendent Dennis Runyan, tracing this support back several decades. At Agua Fria, the raises equal a 3.75-percent increase, as well as a $1,435 raise in base salaries. At Litchfield, certified teachers and other positions identified by the district will receive raises ranging from 6.4 percent to 10.8 percent. Position, education and experience are determining factors. Certified teachers, student advisers and assessment staff

will receive an at least $2,915 increase. “When we were looking at this, we were looking at how crucial our teachers are,” said Litchfield Superintendent Jodi Gunning. “We wanted to maintain and attract highquality teachers, especially in the midst of the teacher shortage.” About 2,000 additional teachers are needed in the state, according to a December report from the Arizona School Personnel Administrators Association. Additionally, Agua Fria will hire teachers to increase class sections and reduce sizes. Runyan noted this as a statewide issue the district monitors. “We do have large class sizes in Arizona,” he said. “We have been working toward a reduction. Last year we also added teachers, so two years in a row we’ve done something in this area to lower class sizes.” Other incentives at Agua Fria include “an increase in substitute teacher pay, teacher retention

stipends, health insurance incentives and an increase to the hourly rate of pay for teachers performing work in a professional capacity outside of the classroom,” and beyond, according to a press release. The respective districts’ moves were funded by voters who passed the override in November. The override continues for five years, gradually decreasing over the subsequent two if it is not passed again. Runyan noted Agua Fria’s changes are in the core areas: math, science, social studies and English or language arts. Beyond the override, however, both districts made other improvements. Litchfield noted the potential for employees receiving Prop 301 and Instructional Improvement funds to receive an additional $700 per year. Agua Fria also cited Prop 301 performance pay increases. “We utilize Prop 301 to enhance our teachers’ pay,” Gunning said. “And it’s broken out to hit the highest of

expectation. So, what we look at in the areas are good attendance, strong student growth and the highest levels in professionalism.” In a press release, Litchfield noted a potential $45,676 entry level salary for starting teachers. This is above the statewide average. Litchfield’s governing board will also fund a 10-percent increase in medical benefits. The district’s planned School No. 16 will also be funded through $16 million in bond sales, along with new buses and facility maintenance. Finally, Litchfield’s governing board will replace its three assistant superintendent positions with two executive director positions, saving more than $170,000; it will also reinstate the director of Title I and director of curriculum positions. “We just always want to continue to thank our community for supporting our students, our staff, and we’re so grateful that they value that high-quality education and that continued support in launching us into that next century of excellence,” Gunning said. Litchfield’s governing board’s next step is to analyze classified staff wages. As for Agua Fria, Runyan is just grateful for the voters’ support. “We’re grateful and appreciative of our local community support,” he said.

Cardinals team with family of murdered girls for football camp By Eric Newman The Arizona Cardinals partnered with a local foundation to honor two young domestic violence victims in Goodyear on March 30 at Palm Valley Elementary School. Audrey and Ariah Arismendez were killed in what police described as a murder-suicide by their father in 2016. Immediately, the girls’ family started the Infinite Bond Foundation, which aims to unite and empower young survivors of domestic violence by “creating happy experiences and everlasting memories.” Audrey was a kindergarten student at Palm Valley, and the girls’ aunt, Ana Castillo, said it was an easy decision for the foundation’s first event to take place at the school with the friends she loved so much. “We wanted, first, to come to the school where Audrey actually went and the kids she was surrounded by, so what better place than here? And these are the types of events we’re working to have moving forward for kids who are suffering from domestic violence.” Around 100 students flocked to the school’s outdoor field to participate in football drills with parents, volunteers, Cardinals staff members and even team mascot Big Red. Among the Cardinals in attendance was retired offensive lineman Derek Kennard, who not only spoke to the students about enjoying school and looking forward to their futures, but also autographed water bottles for each of the students. “The kids respond so well, and they have so much fun. With the kids and the parents out here, it’s so beautiful,” Kennard said. “The kids are like sponges, they want to observe

everything they can. They want to run out and hit the bags and catch the balls because they have the energy and the happiness to do it all day.” The foundation hopes to get kids out and active, to try and relieve stress and negativity in their lives and simply have fun creating positive memories. Though many of the kids in attendance at Infinite Bond’s first event were not necessarily domestic violence victims, Palm Valley’s principal, Jennifer Benjamin, said there are still several of Audrey’s former friends at the school, and that each student who was selected was extremely excited to participate. “There are friends out here that were in her class, and getting to get to see something and experience it with the Cardinals will leave them positive memories for a lifetime,” Benjamin said. “Just even mentioning the words ‘Cardinals’ and ‘Camp’ together, they just love it so much, you’d think they got drafted or something,” said Palm Valley teacher Andrea Bianchi, who was Audrey’s teacher. Benjamin said hearing the news of Audrey and Ariah’s death was one of the toughest days of her career, and said that she greatly admires the Infinite Bond Foundation for putting a positive spin on the tragedy. “For all of this to come together, and for something that was so positive after an event that was so hard and hurtful, it’s just great to see,” she said. The foundation is planning its upcoming calendar of events, but Castillo said she just wanted to take some time to admire the work put in and the success of the Cardinals camp

Goodyear seeking citizen input By West Valley View staff Select residents will soon receive yellow postcards from the city in the mail. The 3,000 randomly-selected households are the focus of the Goodyear Citizen Satisfaction Survey. Individuals who receive said postcard will receive the survey a week later. Designed to get input from residents on quality of life, caliber of service and City Council direction, the survey can be filled out via the mail-in hard copy

or online. Conducted every two years, the survey will help Goodyear determine what services are performed well and where the city still has room for improvement. Past results have yielded improvements to city services, and new programs and services. For more information, visit goodyearaz.gov/residents/citizensurvey or call 623-882-7801.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

SHELTON'S OPINION — cartoons.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

About teachers’ pay Editor: About teachers’ pay. I was amused by Mr. Leibowitz’s article in this week’s View, regarding teachers worth and pay. I agree that teachers earn half of what they should earn … if they worked full time. Teachers work 180 days per year. Teachers have half of the year off. No other professional that I am aware of gets paid full time for working half the year. Nurses, doctors, APS linemen; they all work night shifts, weekends, holidays, overtime, etc. Is a teacher going to work Christmas Day? No. What about working during the summer? Not the teachers. The simple truth is: Teachers are paid fairly for what they do. When year-round school starts and they can start working full time like everyone else in America, maybe then their wages should double. But until then, they are paid fairly now. If teachers truly are tired of their low pay, they could always come back to work in the real world. 40-hour weeks, all year long. But, I’ll bet they won’t, because who wouldn’t love getting full time pay for working part time? Don’t let teachers guilt you into thinking they deserve full-time pay. They work part time! Thanks! Harry Callahan Goodyear

Military-grade weapons and untrained citizens Editor: My son’s twin girls just started kindergarten. According to him… “If you want to be heartbroken: Listen to a kindergartner explain what she’s been taught in her drill about what to do if a ‘scary intruder’ is in her school.” Buy a shotgun if you need protection. Big, intimidating and deadly at close range, and birdshot won’t go through the wall and kill an innocent bystander in the next room or two houses down. “A well-regulated militia” stores its military-grade weapons in a local armory where military trained officers keep them available for use by sane, well-trained citizens who are qualified to use them to protect us from foreign and domestic enemies. That’s what our forefathers intended. Insanity is voting for politicians who insist it is the unrestrained right of un-

trained civilians to have military-grade weapons on themselves or in their homes, thereby making it easier for the few crazies among us to easily murder our children or us. John Bradley Avondale

The fake president Editor: Have we ever had a draft dodger as President before? This Donald Trump had more spurs on his feet than Gene Autry. This man is so unbalanced that Senator Corker called him unfit for office. His own Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, called him a moron. Now, for you Republicans who didn’t graduate from kindergarten, which words didn’t you understand? I have never seen a mess so big in the White House as now. We can’t even get along with our own allies. This ding dong has this country so divided that it’s going to take years to put it back together again. Thanks, Republicans. You sure know how to start a disaster. Alfred C. Molina Tonopah

you follow the money), gun owners or the average everyday citizen that is the root to the problem. It’s the money hungry gun manufacturers and gun retailers that are the problem! Oh, let us not forget the video game developers and the film industry. They are instrumental in “warping the minds” of our youth and mentally challenged citizens! What needs and must be done is for all registered voters (regardless of party affiliation) to contact your representative and insist immediate action to enact laws to help stop the massacres happening in this country! Joe Fuller Litchfield Park

Re: John Flynn’s letter, March 14: 'On the Left-wing issue of gun safety' inconsistency Editor: First I would like to repeat what John wrote: “The founders called for a militia to defend this country. Since then, we have added the military, the National Guard and hundreds of police agencies to do that.” Rest assure my comments are not politically motivated, I’m just an extremely concerned and worried father and grandfather who served 26 years in the United States Air Force supporting the rights and freedoms we share in this country. I often question: Why is there so much dissatisfaction in getting rid of automatic and semi-automatic assault weapons ordinarily produced for military and police operations? How many more innocent kids and adults need to be slaughtered in this country before our leadership in Washington, D.C., takes positive actions to stop it?” I do not believe it’s the NRA (unless

Editor: Most Democrats favor the government going after illegals who have committed crimes. They agree with law and order. Really? However, they insist that a vast majority of illegals are hard working and contribute to society, pay taxes, etc., and for the most part are good people. In fact, Progressives will not even distinguish between legal and illegal when it comes to immigrants. The left says do not go after the other since these immigrants are just hard working people doing jobs Americans won’t do. DACA Yes, Trump NO. The left see all these illegals as future Democratic votes. Now, when it comes to gun control, the left sees it differently. They want to inact laws which punish all gun owners with registration, tax on ammunition, filing suits against gun manufacturers, and a national database. The fact that the great majority of gun owners

never committed a crime with a gun is overlooked by the left. To be consistent, these phony liberals should want to go after the criminals only, not law abiding gun owners. They should back mental health issues, getting drugs and gang bangers off the streets, not gun restrictions. What’s the difference? Well, it depends on the left’s political agenda. In the case of gun ownership, the left’s agenda can be accurately stated in one word. Confiscation. Don’t let them tell you any different, because that is their ultimate goal, and you better believe it if you cherish your freedoms. The hypocrisy and inconsistency here is not mind boggling at all when you understand the left’s ideology and agenda for America. Remember the Second Amendment is that amendment which guarantees all the other amendments. All true progressives hate the Second Amendment with a passion. If our citizenry were unarmed, and if Progressives were in power, we would all see what the ugly face of tyranny really looks like. Thank God for the wisdom of our founders!

‘Roseanne’ shows that everything is politics, even entertainment

By David Leibowitz

Because everything in Hollywood today is something rebooted, retooled or repeated, we should not be surprised that the folks at Disney and ABC have brought back Roseanne. Nor should we be shocked that more than 18 million viewers tuned into the premiere. After all, for some folks Roseanne Barr surely feels like an old friend, someone we lost track of years ago and occasionally wonder about. In 2018, that usually means peeping her Facebook account – hopefully not using Russian bots – and finding out, hey, Roseanne lost weight. And, boy, those kids grow up. Me? I didn’t watch Roseanne the first time around. Nor will I be watching the revival, which features the protagonist refashioned as a Trump-loving working class senior citizen. As Deadline Hollywood put it, the new version “tapped into the zeitgeist of Middle America, tackling its economic problems – and political leanings – head-on.” Yawn. Actually, I find such "tapping in” tiresome. It makes me long for the sort of entertainment that used to exist in this country, before we decided that

On those channels, we expect to find agenda-driven programming, stilted news coverage and pundits galore screeching about politics. But perhaps the rest of us skipped Roseanne because we’re tired of the same old arguments and the same old stereotypes, the same old political claptrap inserted into the mouths of everyone from sitcom characters to athletes to DJ What’s His Face. You know what I miss? I missed entertainment that actually entertains you. If I want politics 24-7, I’ll watch the news. – David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, everyone. Spring has practically come and gone, Easter has passed, and this year is just flying by. It feels like summer is almost here already. And with summer on the way, that means the West Valley community is continuing to grow. Looking for jobs or education? Estrella Mountain Community College and Career Connectors have you covered with several events coming. Looking for coffee in the far reaches of the West Valley? Well, Out West General Store has a new amenity for that. And even beyond those, Mexican food, donuts and a major development are all on the West Valley’s radar over the coming months. Well, what are we waiting for? Here’s the news! First, a bit of last-minute news! Estrella Mountain Community College’s Career & Transfer Center will hold a Spring Job, Internship and Service Learning Expo from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, April 4. The event is free and open to the whole community. The fair is located at Estrella Mountain Community College’s Outdoors Estrella North Plaza, 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale, at Dysart and Thomas roads. Now that that’s out of the way, Cobblestone Auto Spa is open in Litchfield Park! The location is at 14031 W. Indian School Road. The business is open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. for the express wash, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. for full service and oil change, and 24 hours for the convenient store and gas. To celebrate, Cobblestone is offering free Polish and Shine express car washes ($12 value), $3 Carnival Wax ($15 value), $10 off of Diamond Touch and Ultimate Plus, and $5 off all other full-service washes. Other deals may also take place, but be sure to reach out ahead of time or stop by to check if deals are still going on. For more information, visit cobblestone.com/locations/litchfieldpark or call 623-398-6038. Next, progress is ongoing at Lincoln Logistics 40, a 901,700-square-foot industrial spec building in Goodyear. The projected delivery of the facility

Lincoln Logistics 40, an industrial spec building, is coming to Goodyear in August. (Photo courtesy Lincoln Property Company)

is now in August, according to a spokesperson for the developer, Lincoln Property Company. Designed to serve ultra-modern e-commerce and distribution tenants, and situated on about 50 acres within The Airport Gateway at Goodyear, along I-10 at Bullard Avenue, the facility is metro Phoenix’s first with a 40-foot clear ceiling, according to a press release from Lincoln Property Company. It also boasts more than 20 acres of space under one roof. Additionally, 169 dock and gradelevel doors, 185 trailer storage stalls, up to 660 parking stalls, fiber optic data and energy-efficient clearstory windows in lieu of skylights are being factored through construction. A Foreign Trade Zone Magnet Site with up to 75-percent personal property tax savings, the industrial spec building is immediately south of the similarly recently announced Chewy Inc. Then, Out West General Store recently added the new Java Trolley on site. As an old trolley car, Java Trolley is effectively a café on wheels. Stop by to get your caffeine fix with a cup of coffee and more! Java Trolley is open 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday through Sunday. Stay tuned for a feature story on

the business in the coming weeks. Out West General Store is located at 17121 W. Glendale Avenue, Waddell.

Well, next, a new retail shop space is under construction at the southeast corner of Van Buren and Estrella Parkway in Goodyear, and Dunkin’ Donuts will occupy one space. According to the city’s Economic Development Department, it is the only user that has been identified at this point. The new shop, located on the north end of the strip, is ongoing. Additionally, the construction will yield a shared patio area between Dunkin’ Donuts and other future retailers. Though I have limited information, stay tuned, and I will keep you all posted on any future progress or updates relating to the completion of said Dunkin’ Donuts and other future retailers. In Avondale, Mariachi’s Mexican Food is coming. It is set to be located next to Flavors of Louisiana, off Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard, east of Dysart Road. Though I do not have a timeline yet, the city has confirmed the business is

working on tenant improvements and will have a drive-thru. I will keep pushing and report on any further details or developments as they come. Finally, WESTMARC and Career Connectors are uniting with Arizona@ Work and Goodwill of Central Arizona to present the West Valley Healthcare Career Expo. Scheduled from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, May 17, the event is free.

LP esthetician strives to make clients look like ‘Celebrities’ By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Esthetician A.J. Jenkins was tired of hearing people say they had to travel to the East Valley for skin treatments. So, the Buckeye resident founded Celebrity Skin Studio in Litchfield Park and subsequently her own line of the same name. “I wanted to create my own destiny and my own skin care line, instead of retailing someone else’s product,” Jenkins said. “I wanted my own product that I knew inside and out. One of the things I feel strongly about is not adding fragrances.” Celebrity Skin offers potent multifunction cocktails with agecorrective and skin-repairing technology. The goal is to require fewer products. Jenkins said her products have gone through extensive dermatological testing, and products used around eyes have been ophthalmologist approved. Jenkins said as people mature, fragrances can irritate the skin and sinuses. “With my products, you’ll only find essential ingredients, plant extract, essential oils,” she said. “For the most part, it’s scent-neutral. My skin type is very, very sensitive and dry. I struggle with that. Somebody had to do it, so I thought it might just be me.” Celebrity Skin was developed with the desert in mind. Jenkins created a Desert Defense Serum, which is part of the Quench line. It’s for extremely dehydrated, flakey skin or mature women who are suffering from hormonal issues. It revitalizes dull, tired skin, she said. Besides Quench, there is Radiance for sun-damaged skin or those with pigmentation issues; Renew for a more youthful appearance; and Clarity for people dealing with oily skin and breakouts. She also offers reasons for skin problems. For example, extremely dry skin between the eyebrows could be chalked up to late-night eating or rich food. “That will increase that,” she said. “With my line, I wanted to tackle problems we battle in the desert. We have really unique skin care concerns and challenges. We have an incredibly

arid climate. Plus, we have extremely hard water.” A Tolleson High School graduate, Jenkins has always wanted to be involved in the beauty industry. She fell in love with being an esthetician in a spa-like setting. Jenkins has been serving clients in Litchfield Park since April 2016, and clients in the West Valley for more than a decade. “I created the whole experience in Litchfield Park,” she said. “It’s a retail storefront, with treatment rooms. I was able to choose the different components—the design elements—the layout, and work with the architects.” Many clients have already benefited from the anti-aging, lipo contouring, skin care and waxing services at Celebrity Skin Studio. Her intent is to provide West Valley clients with an upscale experience and customer service, while delivering state-of-theart treatments. “I wanted to be more in control of the client experience. I wanted to help people right in our backyard, instead of having to go to the other side of town to get the quality, the education and the tools they’re seeking.” Celebrity Skin Studio Coldwater Station Shopping Plaza (across the street from

Lawlor fulﬁlls childhood dream, ready for ﬁnal season as a Tiger By Griffin Fabits Millennium High School’s Maximo Lawlor had never been to Boston. But he knew that had to change when he received an email from the boys’ tennis head coach at Emerson College in September 2017. Lawlor initially thought it was just a generic email that the school sends out to kids across the nation. Instead, it was an opportunity to fulfill a childhood dream of his, and a chance to play tennis at the collegiate level. “I replied, ‘Yeah, I’d definitely like to chat on the phone and potentially go out for a visit.’ They called me a few days later and we set up a date to where I could go on a visit. I went to Emerson, and I just completely fell in love with the campus and the city atmosphere,” he said. Lawlor’s dream of playing into college has slowly turned into a reality. He won the Division I doubles state championship last April. He’s also undefeated in singles this season as a senior captain with the Millennium Tigers after a junior campaign saw him

go 23-0 in the regular season. But laying the groundwork of playing college athletics is easier said than done. Lawlor knew he wanted to play, but had no idea where. He hoped colleges would come to him, and was soon hit with the harsh reality that it didn’t work like that. And then Emerson called. “It’s literally in the heart of Boston,” he gushed. “That was my first time going to Boston and I had no idea what to expect. It was just absolutely incredible. Once I visited the campus, the coach, the team and their program, I was just like, ‘I think this is where I want to go.’” Lawlor signed his letter of intent to play Division III tennis at Emerson in November. Since he started playing at age 4, this was always the goal. “When I was playing 12-and-unders, I was one of the top in the section. I had a lot of coaches telling me I had a lot of potential, that I could grow into a really good player and play college tennis.” Lawlor, who lettered four times in

tennis as a Tiger, is poised to make another late run into the Division I tournament this spring. Though he feels his play is better suited for doubles, it’s likely he will enter this year’s singles tournament. “It’s going to be really tough. There’s going to be a lot of good players playing this year. It’ll be tough, but I’m probably going to do singles.” Lawlor can add his college tennis commitment to his impressive resume while at Millennium. He’s won a state championship, holds the position as student body president and has a new life waiting for him across the country this fall. “I definitely want to be remembered (at Millennium) for my attitude. I want to be remembered for having a good outlook on everything regardless of the situation.”

NAU commit Deane on the home stretch as a Viper By Griffin Fabits

Six years ago, track and field was a foreign concept to Samantha Deane. As a sixth grader, she decided to give it a try. Fast forward to her senior year, she’s established herself as one of the best runners to come out of Verrado High School. A four-year stretch at Verrado has seen 27 first place finishes in a wide range of events for Deane. The 400-meter race, her main event, is also the one in which she’s enjoyed a great amount of success in. Deane won the Division II 400-meter race at the 2016 State Championship event as a sophomore with a time of :57.33. It’s also the event she’ll be running when she joins the NAU track and field squad in the fall. “This year I’m hoping to get first in both the 400 and 800s at state,” she said, so candidly and matter-of-factly that it seemed anything but a first-place finish would qualify as a letdown. That competitive nature, the one she didn’t even realize she had, has parlayed into her dominance on the track. Deane is coming off Performer of the Week honors from AZ Mile Split courtesy of winning the 400 and 800-meter races at the March 17 Willie Williams Classic. She also finished second in the 200-meter competition. She garnered 62.79 percent of the votes to best six other girls across the state for the AZ Mile Split recognition. According to athletic.net, Deane is the third best 400-meter runner in Arizona with a :55.85 time. A changed off-season routine, which now includes lifting, can be credited to her emergence as a runner. “I started lifting this year. Last year I didn’t lift, and my times were going down, so I started working out my arms and my abs. Once I started doing that, my times started getting better.” Deane joined the cross-country team her sophomore year, seeing it as a way to improve as a track runner. Regardless of the distance, she goes about a race all the same. “I actually get really, really nervous. Before you run, the nerves are going through and once the gun goes off it’s just, everything is cleared and the

adrenaline goes through,” she said. “Before the race, it’s just nerves and listening to music. I talk with friends because they tend to calm me down. The night before, I eat spaghetti. My dad makes spaghetti for me.” For Deane, running is soothing; though it’s never easy. She acknowledged she has her days when she loves it, and others when she loathes it. A large part of Deane’s achievements can be pointed toward the efforts of her coaches. Gabriel De Leon, in his first year at Verrado as a sprint coach, has had arguably the biggest impact on Deane. “He actually texted me the other night and said, ‘It’s athletes like you that make me want to keep coaching.’ That really meant a lot.” Despite the ups and downs that inevitably come with a track career, Deane’s work ethic has never wavered. “It’s always constantly just me trying to push myself to be better.”

Celebrate Grilled Cheese Day with Kneaders By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski National Grilled Cheese Day is Thursday, April 12, and in celebration of it, Kneaders is celebrating with $5 sandwiches on Wednesday, April 11, and Thursday, April 12. The Utah-based chain has several varieties, including the Fiesta Grill Cheese. However, the latest offering, the Ultimate Grilled Cheese, was created by Kneaders executive chef Ryker Brown. Made on Kneaders’ cheddar garlic bread, aged gruyere, sharp cheddar and parmesan cheeses, crispy bacon, tomato and rich dressing. Diners can also make it at home. Here’s how:

Ultimate Grilled Cheese Ingredients: (Makes 6 sandwiches) 1 loaf Kneaders Cheddar Garlic Bread 1 cup aged gruyere cheese, grated 1 cup aged sharp cheddar cheese, grated 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated 3 tablespoons butter, room temperature 12 slices thick cut bacon

12 slices vine ripe fresh tomato 3/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon dijon mustard Pinch of salt and pepper

Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay bacon on sheet pan and roast for 25-30 minutes or until crispy and brown. Drain on paper towel. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, grated parmesan, salt and pepper. Arrange 12 slices of Kneaders cheddar garlic bread on a pan and spread six slices with butter and six slices with mayonnaise sauce. On the sauce side of bread, distribute gruyere and cheddar cheeses. Place two slices of bacon on each sandwich and two slices of tomato. Top each sandwich with remaining slices of bread (spread side down). Heat large skillet on medium heat. Cook sandwiches for 3-5 minutes on each side until bread is browned and cheese is melted. Cut in half and serve immediately.

Daphne Davis is a 40-year member of The Questers, a nonprofit organization that focuses on preservation and restoration of historical artifacts and buildings. “My sister belonged, and she looked like she was having a lot of fun,” Davis said. “It’s a very interesting organization to belong to. You grow a lot because you learn a lot and at the same time you go on trips and socialize with other chapters. It looked like fun and it still is.” The Questers’ motto is, “It’s fun to search and a joy to find.” The Questers are hosting a state meeting at the Moon Valley Country Club on April 5. Originally a member of the Iowa chapter, Davis moved to Minnesota where she continued her work with The Questers. Davis relocated to Buckeye to be with friends and became the Arizona Questers president, and a member of the new Buckeye chapter. “A member belongs to a chapter that

has monthly meetings with programs that educate and stimulate and captivate interests through trips,” Davis said. “Chapters may hold joint meetings and socialize and share programs.” The organization is in 17 states and within those states, there are local chapters. Each chapter is made up of at least eight members who share the same passion for history. The Questers will also have the chance to partake in socializing events, go to museums and be a part of the community. As an interior designer, one of Davis’ favorite projects was when her chapter decorated store windows, seasonally. A chapter typically has officers— president, vice president, secretary and treasurer. There are four rules for The Questers: there has to be at least eight members; the chapter name must

Episcopal LGBTQ group welcomes gays to community By Carson Mlnarik The LGBTQ community has found support and friendship in Litchfield Park thanks to Integrity, the national Episcopal LGBTQ support and advocacy group. Its mission is simple: to promote and work toward the full inclusion of the LGBTQ community in the Episcopal church. The Litchfield Park group is, so far, the only chapter in the state. While the group is focused on LGBTQ support and advocacy, it’s open to all community members. In fact, many members are heterosexual. “I think a lot of people think Integrity is exclusive to LGBTQ people, but really it’s the straight allies who really make it run and make it work,” said Daniel Villasenor, the Arizona Integrity board convener. “The LGBTQ community—in terms of the population as a whole—is very small so we really need our allies to help.” Integrity hosts meetings at 6 p.m. the second Saturday of each month at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 400 Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park. The organizations feature social hours and speakers, but also offer support for groups like Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG), and the annual Arizona Episcopal Diocese convention. At this year’s Pride Parade on April 8, 30 Integrity members will hand out rainbow flags with information about the group, Villasenor said. “It (is) really just kind of a way of supporting the larger effort in the community, as well as kind of getting

our name out there,” he said. Villasenor, who moved with his spouse to Arizona from Idaho, became involved after seeing an ad in a church bulletin. He said his experiences outside the church and in the larger Litchfield Park and Goodyear communities have been welcoming. “Being a same-sex couple with a child, sometimes people think that can open you up to discrimination or whatever, but since we’ve adopted our daughter, we’ve had zero issues in the community,” he said. Daniel Harwell joined the group after moving to Arizona with his husband about a year ago. He attended meetings in Washington, D.C., in the ’90s and drove 45 minutes each way to get there. “We were just really happy that there was this place where we could go and we could socialize and know that there were other, in those days, gay men who were Episcopalians,” he said. While he acknowledges that not everyone will make the same drive he used to, it’s important to him that people — especially younger folks looking for a safe space in the faith community — know that they can still be a part of the gay community in the suburbs. “I think it’s important to try and let younger folks know that we exist, and I think that it’s important for the LGBTQ community because so many young people are still closeted (or are) afraid to let anyone know because their church (might be) opposed to LGBT

in 1944 in Philadelphia while she was working during WWII. The hard times inspired Barden to bring joy to others by putting a pretty antique photo on her desk. The photo brought beauty to others, so much so that she invited coworkers to come to her home and share antiques. “They had so much fun after the first meeting they just kept going,” Davis said. “That’s how it started. Most members are collectors, so the meetings allow them to share their collections for a show and tell.” The Questers offers daytime and nighttime chapters, so any female antique enthusiast can join. Interested women should contact Vice President Vicki Metcalf at 928-707-3643 and she will suggest a chapter.

be of historic significance; they can’t charge for speaking to another Quester chapter; and if they raise funds and involve the public, they must use the money for preservation and restoration. The Buckeye chapter has adopted the name “Hellzapoppin’.” “The gal who suggested the name said, ‘Did you know in the new Urban Dictionary Hellzapoppin’ means amazing?’ We all replied ‘No, we didn’t know that,’” Davis said with a laugh. “She said, ‘I think we should be called this because we are an amazing group of people coming together to do this and Hellzapoppin’ rodeo was instrumental in the success of Buckeye.’” Bess Barden created The Questers

rights and the community.” While the group meets at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and largely works with the church, they’re not specifically affiliated with any location, due to church politics and potential movement of leadership. With the board recently formed and a plan in place for Phoenix Pride, the group is looking toward its future and

expanding its outreach. “I think that, to me, St. Peter’s and Integrity are kind of the hidden gems out there,” Harwell said. “We have control and we can do things within our local community, there’s a lot to be done.” For more information, visit facebook. com/Integrityarizona or email office@ stpetersaz.com.

Liberty UMC to celebrate historical designation

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Liberty United Methodist Church will receive its official historical marker during a dedication ceremony at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 8, at 7598 S. Liberty School Road, Buckeye. Guest speakers will include Roger Brevoort, architectural archivist; and Robert Hoshibata, bishop of the Desert Southwest Conference of the United Methodist Church. State and local dignitaries are expected to attend; descendants of the original settlers will also be recognized. The ceremony will include a video of the church’s history and an unveiling of the marker. Liberty United Methodist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 28, 2017. The National Register is the official listing of the nation’s cultural resources worthy of preservation. The Liberty United Methodist Church is eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places for

its association with the origins of the small, rural community of Liberty. The church and the Liberty Elementary School, located across the street, are the only two prominent buildings that reflect the origins of Liberty. The church was nominated for its architectural merit as one of the very few examples of the mission revival style in Arizona from the pre-statehood era.

Spin Doctors help racetrack celebrate 1993 By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Spring is Chris Barron’s favorite time of year in Arizona. He and his band, Spin Doctors, are playing the Verizon IndyCar Series Phoenix Grand Prix at ISM Raceway on Saturday, April 7. “I love playing racetracks,” Barron said. “They’re a lot of fun. Race fans are enthusiastic.” The free concert is part of a 1993 reunion to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Mario Andretti’s last win. The Spin Doctors will set the tone for the weekend celebration of one of the world’s most renowned racecar drivers. “We’re going to be playing all the Spin Doctors favorites and some deep cuts from our albums,” he said. “We put a record out a couple years ago—a blues record. So, we’ll play a little bit of material off the blues album as well.” The 2013 album he was referring to is If the River was Whiskey, the band’s sixth studio album and first that focused solely on original blues music.

Spin Doctors—which also includes drummer Aaron Comess, guitarist Eric Schenkman and bassist Mark White— found huge success in the early 1990s with their hits, “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” (1991) and “Two Princes” (1993), which were both Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 hits. Their 1991 debut album, Pocket Full of Kryptonite, was certified gold in 1992, and is now fivetimes platinum in the United States. “We’re lucky,” Barron said. “We have some hits that people love to hear. In between the hits, we can play old favorites and more obscure materials. In addition to the concert, the 1993 reunion will feature historic cars from the 1993 race in Phoenix including the winning car piloted by Andretti as well as autograph sessions, Q&As and a special pre-race appearance by alumni from that historic moment. Barron said Spin Doctors’ music is trendy because it didn’t adhere to trendy instrumentation in the 1990s. Instead, the musicians decided to be

themselves. “We want to just be expressive and be ourselves,” he said. “Most people are pretty weird. If you really are being yourself, you’re pretty weird. The weirdness of our record is just an expression of the weirdness of ourselves.” Some would find his first experience in Arizona as odd. He exited a venue to kill time before a soundcheck and smelled an overwhelming “sweet, perfume smell.” “I walked around until I found where the smell was coming from,” he said. “It was a tree with all of these flowers on it. I knocked on the door, this lady answered. I asked her what kind of tree it is. And she said, ‘It’s an orange tree.’ Who would have thought?”

Sundance wins McTeacher’s Challenge By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

The Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Buckeye McDonald’s restaurants held a McTeacher’s Night Challenge in February, raising more than $18,000 for local schools. “We were delighted to bring this McTeacher’s Night Challenge to the Southwest Valley community and work with our local schools to raise money for education,” said Derrick Mellon, whose family owns McDonald’s restaurants. “Our family takes great pride as local business owners in giving back to our community.” As part of McTeacher’s Night, a portion of McDonald’s sales during a two-hour period benefited each school. The school’s principal and teachers “worked” at McDonald’s greeting customers, working the registers. Families of students and local school supporters visited McDonald’s and tipped their teachers to help raise funds. Sundance Elementary placed first in the challenge, receiving an additional $1,000 donation for a total of $1,804.

Odyssey Preparatory Buckeye placed second, receiving an additional $500 donation for a total of $1,287. Odyssey Preparatory Sienna Hills placed third, receiving an additional $250 donation for a total of $1,004. The Mellons presented checks to each of the school’s principals recently during a reception at McDonald’s restaurant at 632 N. Estrella Parkway in Goodyear. Thirty-one schools participated in the Southwest Valley McTeacher’s Night Challenge including Rancho Santa Fe, Marionneaux, Copper Trails, Liberty, Grace Fellowship Academy, Dreaming Summit, Michael Anderson, Rainbow Valley, Western Sky Middle School, Las Brisas Academy, Buckeye, Inca, Wildflower, Lattie Coor, Desert Star, Verrado, Centerra Mirage, Jasinski, Westar, Freedom, Estrella Mountain, Desert Thunder, Bales, Canyon Breeze, Sundance, Westpark, Mabel Padgett, Corte Sierra, Odyssey Preparatory Sienna Hills, Odyssey Preparatory Goodyear and Odyssey

Westview students ‘speak up’ against bullying By Krys Estes Westview High School students came together to discuss bullying as part of the Maricopa County-based “Speak Up, Stand Up and Save a Life” movement. Forty-eight students attended a recent “Speak Up, Stand Up and Save a Life” conference in Phoenix. The goal is to encourage students to “Speak Up, Stand Up and Save a Life” in their schools. “The kids came back very inspired,” said Nicole Biscotti, a teacher and the leader of the student ambassadors. “As the other tragedy in Florida happened, we became more aware of the fact that this is not just an issue to prevent suicide, but to also prevent backlash that comes from mental health issues that could be potentially a danger to everyone around that person in trouble.” The movement aims to tackle real issues locally and nationally. This is especially important to the Westview community; Biscotti said a student committed suicide two years ago. “I saw first-hand how that affected the entire campus,” she said. “There was just sadness all around campus for a while. It takes the students a long time to process something like that as well, to see someone who they knew and interacted with die like that. “I am hoping that programs like this will create more awareness of our actions and understanding of what students are going through.” The movement and its conferences encourage attendees to discuss how best to communicate with trusted adults, such as parents, teachers, school personnel or police officers, when they witness fellow students struggling with bullying, cyberbullying, drug addiction or depression, or witness threats against students. Westview Principal Dr. John Renouard said when he hears about bullying, he lets student ambassadors help. “As a new principal, I really wanted to jump on this opportunity to make campus a better place,” Renouard said. “Students are more apt to listen to their peers than adults. It’s better to help these teens now, otherwise

their psychological wounds will keep festering and they will eventually be volatile and unpredictable. By attending to their needs and feelings early on, we can help mitigate more school shootings.” Biscotti said she’s shocked the types of issues affecting students. She added she believes they are related to social media, which wasn’t around when she was younger.

OBITUARIES

HOW TO WRITE A PAID OBITUARY Writing is intimidating for most people. Even those who write regularly get writer’s block, lose motivation and procrastinate. It can be even harder to write when announcing the death of a loved one. When someone passes away, an obituary is usually published to announce the death. This can be difficult and emotional for the person tasked with writing the final record of a person’s life. Not only

does the obituary need to be factually accurate and sensitive, but it will need to be published shortly after the death and before the funeral. Despite the feelings of grief that will arise, writing the obituary should be a positive, cathartic experience. Use this guide to address the challenges of writing the obituary, so you can focus on your loved one and the special life they lived

1. Gather information: Start by gathering your loved one’s basic information, including: • Full legal name • Nickname • Birthdate and death date • Birthplace • City and state of residence at death

• Name of significant other • Full names of parents and siblings • Names of those that preceded them in death

• Names of those surviving • Date and time of funeral services being held • Name of funeral home and cemetery

If funeral arrangements have not yet been made, you can always include the name of the funeral home and state “arrangements are being made” or “funeral to take place at a later date.” If the ceremony is to be private, note that instead. Those interested can contact the funeral home for more information.

2. Check with the newspaper

Look at obituaries in the paper. This will give you a guideline to follow. You can go to the West Valley View’s obituaries online to price out a paid obituary or place a free death notice 24 hours a day at: obituaries.westvalleyview.com. Deadlines for obituaries are Thursday by 5pm for the following Wednesday.

3. Write

Once you have gathered the basic information and checked with the newspaper, it is time to to write the obituary. As you begin to write about your loved one’s life, go into as much or little detail as you would like. If you’re unsure what to write about, include the following: • Childhood • Education • Military background • Honors and awards

• Marriage • Children • Grandchildren • Employment

• Extra-curricular activities • Retirement • Home life • Special pet

4. Make it personal

Your loved one was unique. Think about the things that made them special, and include the touching details that your reader might like to know about your loved one. This is your chance to memorialize your loved one and let others know the whole person.

5. Proofread and edit

Once the initial draft is written, be sure to proof your work and have someone else check it for spelling and grammatical errors. Make sure you spell names correctly and don’t leave out family members or other important details.

6. Delegate

If all the above seems overwhelming or you just don’t feel up to it—delegate! Writing the obituary shouldn’t be a stressful time. If you don’t feel up to it or you aren’t confident in your writing ability, pass the task on to someone who enjoys writing or that is good at writing letters. You can provide them with the information, make suggestions, and they can take notes. Make this easy on yourself. Don’t feel guilty about passing the task along if you are not up to it. Friends and family are glad to help in times of need.

7. Submit to the newspaper

In order to ensure that the obituary reaches the paper without errors, submit the obituary online at obituaries.westvalleyview.com or email obits@westvalleyview.com. You can also ask for a proof of the obituary before it is printed so you can ensure there are no errors or omissions.

8. Avoiding common mistakes: Use this list to avoid common mistakes and to make the task of writing the obituary easier. • Don’t make the obituary about those still living—make it about your loved one. • Include information about your loved one’s life, not just the funeral details. • Write in the third person and refer to your loved one as an individual, not as Mom or Dad or our son or our daughter.

• When considering memorials, consider your loved one’s wishes—not your own. • Proofread and proofread again. • Double-check the spelling of all names. • Have a close family member look over the obituary to make sure you are not leaving any family members out.

Family is hosting a celebration of life potluck on April 14 at 4:00 at 20201 W. Rainbow Trail, Buckeye. "Peace, love and eternal cosmic wisdom."

Arthur David Rose, Sr. Arthur David Rose, 87, went to be with the Lord on March 22, 2018 in Goodyear. He was born August 27, 1930 in Englewood, New Jersey to Arthur J. and Loretta (Breen) Rose. Art spent most of his life in Bergen County, NJ. He served in the US Naval Reserve from 1955 to 1958, and was employed for many years by Ufheil Construction (New Milford, NJ). He later became co-owner of Elsa Construction, and was a member of the International Union of Operating Engineers for 70 years. Art and his wife Joan (nee Ruppert) married in 1962 and lived in Oradell, NJ, where they were members of the St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church community. Art loved the sun, outdoors, and the beach. He and Joan eventually retired to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. They also had a home in Arizona. Art and Joan permanently moved to Goodyear, Arizona in 2015 to be closer to their children and grandchildren. In addition to Joan, his loving wife of 55 years, Art leaves behind a son, Arthur David Rose, Jr. of Goodyear and four daughters, Deborah Rose (Rock City Falls, NY), Kathleen Bump (West Yarmouth, MA), Alison Wood (John), and Andrea Christensen (James) of Goodyear. He was also blessed with six beautiful grandchildren, Melissa Bump, Kristen Hankinson, Lindsey Hankinson, Christopher Wood, Carolyn Wood, and James Christensen, as well as his first great-grandchild, Eden Rose. Art cherished his loving friendship with sister-in-law, Donna Carbone and her husband, Dr. Michael K. Carbone and their children, Jessica Carbone McKinney and Michael Carbone. He was our husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother-in-law, and uncle. His absence makes our hearts ache, yet we know he is at peace in the welcoming arms of our Lord. A viewing was held at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ 85338 on Tuesday, March 27, 2018. A Mass of Resurrection was celebrated at St. John Vianney Roman Catholic Church, 539 E La Pasada Blvd, Goodyear, AZ 85338 on Wednesday, March 28, 2018 at 10:00 am. The Rose family would like to extend our gratitude to all the staff at Pathways Assisted living and Memory Care in Goodyear, and Sage Hospice for their attentiveness and loving care. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association in memory of Arthur D. Rose. Condolences for the family may be left with www.thompsonfuneralchapel.com.
