Meck addresses Buckeye’s progress at State of the City

West Valley schools go ‘red’ in support of pay raises

By Connor Dziawura

By Eric Newman

Developments from Nikola Motor Company, Aldi and Hilton Home2 Suites were just some of the highlights touted by Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck at the city’s 2018 State of the City address. The talk at the Palo Verde Energy Education Center on Wednesday, April 11, came just weeks after Meck underwent an emergency procedure to clear a blocked artery. Meck addressed the scare, confirming it as a heart attack. “I told the cardiologist and my rehab people, I don’t care what has to be done between March 18 and now, but I want to stand and do this for Buckeye,” Meck told guests. Meck praised the West Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck discussed the past, present and future Valley city’s small-town of the city at the 2018 State of the City address. (Photo courtesy city roots, and its growth of Buckeye) from a 1,200-person farm addressed by Meck was that of Nikola town to a 70,000-resident city in 2018.

The continued growth falls in line with Meck said construction will begin on the Buckeye’s Census ranking as the seventh- 500-acre, 1-million-square-foot, zerofastest growing city in the country. It is emissions facility early next year. The move will bring more than $1 billion also the fastest-growing city in Arizona. in capital to the region, creating over 2,000 According to Meck, nearly 2,200 singlewell-paying jobs, as well as over 4,000 family residential home permits were issued in 2017. One of the first major developments Buckeye...continued on page 2

Verrado Heritage Elementary School staff and students, as well as parents and supporters, gathered outside the Buckeye school April 11 as part of the #RedForEd Walk-Ins, one of many held throughout the state. The Litchfield Elementary School District school took part in the event to bring awareness of the lack of educational resources the state government provides. Clad in red shirts, and sporting signs with statements like, “You can’t put your students first if you put your students last,” or “Children are our future,” the protestors walked into the school unified, to try to make the state listen to their concerns. “We’re fighting for our students and fighting for our community. We believe they all deserve the best resources,” Verrado Heritage teacher Hannah Coleman said. Apparently, the walk-ins worked. On April 12, Gov. Doug Ducey announced he will increase teacher salaries 20 percent by the beginning of the 2020 school year. This initiative is in addition to his plan to fully restore recession-era cuts over the next five years. (See related story on page 8). Prior to the short march, Coleman spoke to the crowd and said many teachers are forced to purchase classroom supplies from their own salaries, which isn’t enough to live on. She added conditions need to improve. If not, it will be detrimental to children and the state. “Our students are our future – our future workforce, future leaders, future mentors and future heroes. They’re going to be taking care of us, eventually. I’m so proud to have a job that helps shape children for their futures, but we need the resources to do it.” Physical education teacher and athletic director Alberto Flores said when the

Also, a new Hilton Home2 Suites extended-stay hotel is projected to open in early 2019. Construction will begin at the northeast corner of Yuma and Watson roads later this year, he said. On the southeast corner, Meck discussed the future Sundance Marketplace, with new businesses set to include an Aldi grocery store, Planet Fitness, Burger King and a Quick Quack Car Wash. Moving to Verrado, Meck mentioned the Marketside West Center is set to open later this year with restaurants, coffee shops and services. In downtown Buckeye, he commended Snap Fitness for taking advantage of the city’s Catalyst Program to move to a larger location on Ninth Street and Monroe Avenue. Meck also thanked his staff for Imagine Buckeye 2040 General Plan, which was recently ratified by the City Council. “This document balances the future of our city while ensuring Buckeye’s

western heritage and agricultural roots of cotton, alfalfa and dairy farming remain as well,” he said. “It required extensive outreach to our residents and businesses and will build on our heritage while advancing us into the future.” Additionally, Buckeye was recently awarded a $280,000 grant for a bike and pedestrian master plan by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) – an entity of which Meck is chairman. “This plan will work on a ‘complete street’ concept where all city streets will include sidewalks and bike lanes and will also coordinate with the city’s transportation master plan,” he explained. “Transit plan and parks and trails master plans are also included.” Continuing the subject of MAG, Buckeye’s engineering department was awarded almost $100,000 for an intelligent transportation system strategic plan, which will improve traffic flow. “This will help us identify and recommend capital projects that can be programmed appropriately into the city’s budget over the next five years,” Meck said. The start of the system, Meck said, includes funding underway to improve

traffic signal timing on Yuma Road, between Verrado Way and Watson Road. Meck also acknowledged the Construction and Contracting Department’s past year managing over $32 million in construction projects, which is a 26-percent increase over 2016. More than 70 new projects are in consideration for the next year, he said. Despite the city’s growth, Meck said the number of law enforcement personnel has remained constant. Emergency response times have also remained steady at four-and-a-half minutes. He cited FBI statistics that ranked Buckeye the safest city in the Phoenix metro area. The city relies on volunteers in its police department. They donated more than 16,000 hours last year; that amounts to more than $400,000 in savings. In terms of community activity, Meck mentioned the success of Skyline Regional Park, which saw a 40-percent increase in visitors between 2016 and 2017. More than 287,000 people stopped by last year. “This magnificent place continues to be the crown jewel of the West Valley for outdoor recreation,” he said. He also acknowledged Buckeye

Air Fair, which had more than 15,000 guests in February; the Traveling Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and the annual Veterans Lift Up event. Other improvements acknowledged include Buckeye Public Library’s digitization of its system. “Last year, I started this event discussing the challenges regarding the monthly billing in our Water Resources Department,” Meck said. “This year, I am proud to say we are making great progress and have implemented several improvements in the utility billing department.” One of the biggest, he said, is providing dedicated staff members and one-on-one household audits for nearly 550 residents. Another, he said, is a joint effort between the Water Resources and IT departments to provide a new billing system with secure online accounts and payments. A new advanced metering infrastructure system providing stateof-the-art meter reading capabilities will also be available to customers in the coming months, he said. Thanking public works employees, Meck detailed last year’s paving or resurfacing of nearly 100 miles of streets, re-striping of over 45 miles of roadway, and replacements or repairs of over 200 sign posts, as well as the creation of over 140 street signs. He also acknowledged Buckeye Public Works’ Fleet Division’s recognition as one of the “100 Best Fleets” in the country for the ninth consecutive year. “I’d say this is a major accomplishment,” Meck said. Public works crews saved taxpayers over $26,000 in electricity costs by switching from fluorescent to LED lights in offices. “These savings will continue to

Pendergast’s DeBlieux chosen top Latina superintendent By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Pendergast Elementary School District Superintendent Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux was scrolling through her emails, when she saw something that could be special. She was right. DeBlieux was notified via email that she won the 2018 ALAS Leaders in Education Hispanic Serving School District Superintendent of the Year. She will be honored April 25 in Washington, D.C. “I received an email that said, ‘Congratulations,’” she said. “I thought, ‘Oh my God. This is amazing.’ To be recognized by my peers is pretty special. It’s not due to me. I just work here. I have great teachers, staff and board.” DeBlieux is the first bilingual, Latina leader of the Pendergast School District in Avondale, Glendale and Phoenix. She has been honored with awards including: The Nonprofit Leader of the Year from Leadership West, West Valley Woman of the Year and The Arizona Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents (AZALAS) Superintendent of the Year. “Lily is a visionary leader whom I have the privilege of working closely with,” Quezada said. She invests countless hours in her job and her community to leave a lasting legacy. We celebrate her and her achievements and are deeply grateful for her commitment to education in Pendergast District.” ALAS was just as impressed with DeBlieux, who finished high school and college in Puerto Rico. “The committee was very impressed with Lily’s application, her work, her passion and commitment to education and her continued involvement with ALAS,” said Nancy Lewin, ALAS executive director. “The selection was very competitive, and she is to be congratulated on receiving this prestigious award.” DeBlieux isn’t one to take all the credit for her work. She thanks her “amazing district” for their “amazing support.” As such, she will travel to Washington, D.C., with Tomorrah Howard of Sunset Ridge School; Arizona EL Teacher of the Year Kelly Neckels; PESD Board President Sen. Martin Quezada; and Board Vice President Susan Serin. “I’m a workaholic,” DeBlieux said. “I have a tremendous passion for students and the community. I think our district is very innovative, whether it’s recruiting or bringing programs to the district. We gave away a car. We started an academy. “I am dedicated and passionate about my students and teachers. I truly am blessed to work for a district that’s so amazingly supportive of the community. This is for them.”

Buckeye...continued from page 2 benefit the city and our residents for years to come,” he said. The “Do More Blue” campaign, he said, helped customers consistently recycle reusable materials. Also, the Buckeye Municipal Airport saw a more than 10-percent increase in operations. On education, West-MEC is building Phase III of the Southwest Campus, he said. It will include a multipurpose building and three new lab-classroom buildings. Completion is set for summer 2019, with classes beginning that fall. Farther reaching developments were also discussed by Meck. “Regional commitment is one of my biggest priorities as (MAG) chairman, and we’ve made great progress on several fronts,” he said. One progression is through the planning stages of State Route 30, otherwise known as the Tres Rios Freeway, which Meck called “a regional win for the West Valley.” Interstate 11 is a “critical asset to the West Valley,” he said, and will connect Phoenix to Las Vegas in the short term. Eventually, it will bridge Mexico, the United States and Canada for improved

distribution. The final alignment will be announced in fall 2019, he said. “When that happens, it will also create a huge incentive for manufacturing and distribution companies to relocate to Phoenix, and the West Valley,” Meck enthused. Additionally, ADOT will widen I-10 from Verrado Way to State Route 85 beginning later this year. It will be completed in 2020 with three lanes in each direction and safety improvements at all exits. “Moving this up in the schedule was one of my pet projects, and I am happy to see it become a reality,” Meck said. He also addressed the 303 project in Goodyear, Surprise and Peoria, and elaborated on the desire to keep jobs in the West Valley. Before concluding, Meck acknowledged several community partners: Luke Air Force Base, Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station, Walmart Distribution Center, and all home builders and commercial businesses. “My thanks to all our community partners in business and in education,” he said. “Our future is bright because of the strong foundation we created over a decade ago.”

Tolleson soldier dies in vehicle ‘incident’ By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Pvt. Julian Diaz, 19, of Tolleson, died in a vehicle incident at the National Training Center located at Fort Irwin, California, on April 10. Diaz enlisted in the U.S. Army in 2017, and served in the 1st Battalion, 23rd Infantry Regiment, 1-2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 7th Infantry Division, since December 2017, as an indirect fire infantryman. He was awarded the National Defense and Army Service ribbons. “Our deepest sympathies go out to the family and friends of Pvt. Diaz,” said Maj. Gen. Willard Burleson III, the 7th Infantry Division commanding general. “In conjunction with the Army Safety Center, we will conduct a thorough investigation into this incident. The soldiers of 1-2 SBCT honor Pvt. Diaz through their steadfast commitment, care for each other, and their will to get

better every day.” Tolleson Mayor Anna Tovar shared her condolences on Facebook. “On behalf of the entire city of Tolleson, we share our deepest condolences to the Diaz family. He was only 19 years old. Please take a moment to thank Pvt. Diaz for making the ultimate sacrifice in service of his country.” Officials with the Tolleson Union High School District, from which he graduated, expressed their thoughts as well. “Our hearts go out to the Diaz family on the passing of their loved one,” according to a statement. “Julian Diaz was a Tolleson Union High School graduate and he will be missed. Our thoughts and well wishes go out to the family on behalf of the entire Tolleson Union High School District. #RestinPeace.”

Avondale council reviews proposed FY 18-19 budget By Israel Gonzalez

Avondale City Council began reviewing a proposed budget of $241.9 million for the fiscal year 2019. The proposed budget is $24.5 million more than last year, or about an 11 percent increase, with a focus on employees, capital projects and parks. The increased spending is due to an increase in revenue by the city. “The revenues are up,” said Cynthia Seelhammer, Avondale’s interim city manager. “We’re assuming that our futures in the next month will look largely like the past year, which have been a good time for the economy and a good time for the revenues of the city.” Employees are a major focus of the upcoming budget, with an increase in compensation and the city hiring more full-time equivalent positions to reduce workload. “We wanted to make sure that we were doing what we could to reward the employees,” Seelhammer said. The proposed budget includes hiring 14 new full-time equivalent positions

in the city. These positions cover many departments, with seven of the 14 fulfilling positions in parks services. Avondale Mayor Kenneth Weise said these new positions are important to keeping city employees happy. “We can give raises all day long to our employees,” Weise said. “But if there is not job satisfaction and if they feel there’s no end in sight that they’ll never dig out from the piles of work that they have, then the raises mean absolutely nothing. I’m glad that we can add employees in a meaningful manner this year. I’m glad there were raises across the board.” The budget is broken down into six major categories: $92.4 million in operations; $11.1 million in debt service; $11.8 million in contingency;

$79.6 million in capital projects; $37.1 million in carryovers; and $9.6 million in supplemental. Money spent toward capital projects saw the biggest increase from last year, rising by $13.3 million. The budget covers operating costs and projects big and small. Some smaller highlights include the public works department requesting $60,000 to replace fuel pumps, or the police department requesting $65,400 for more body cameras for officers to use. The council also discussed possibly budgeting money toward adding technology to live stream City Council meetings. Some bigger costs include funding to acquire property being used as parking for the Randall McDaniel Sports

Goodyear ofﬁcials propose $328.3M budget By Krys Estes and Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Goodyear officials introduced a tentative $328.3 million fiscal year 2018-19 budget that prioritizes capital improvement projects and calls for the hiring of 29 positions citywide. City Manager Julie Arendall’s recommended budget was revealed during an April 9 City Council meeting. The working budget represents an $8.5 million increase from the prior year, due to a $6.1 million jump in debt service principal and interest payments. Operating costs are increased by $12 million, of which about a third is from ongoing supplemental budget additions, and the balance is from salary and benefit increases. “I can really walk away from this budget and think, ‘Wow, this is sustainable,’” said Vice Mayor Wally Campbell. Arendall’s recommended budget calls for new positions in these departments: • Engineering: 1 • Fire: 14 • Information technology: 1 • Municipal court: 1 • Parks and recreation: 2 • Police: 1 • Public works: 4 • Public works-sanitation: 2 • Public works-water: 2 • Public works-wastewater: 1 The City Council prioritized several services and plans, including recreation services and facilities. Goodyear is planning a new recreation campus that includes a recreation center, aquatics facility and a 30-acre park. Construction

will begin in 2019 using general obligation bonds and impact fees. With public safety, the budget calls for 15 more sworn positions, including an Aqua Fria School District school resource officer, who will be funded 50 percent by the district this year. An additional SRO, funded partially by the district, will be added in fiscal year 2020. Expanding the program from three to four officers will help prevent on-campus crime and promote proactive programs and a positive image of law enforcement. The police department will also receive significant software updates, facility security upgrades, and increased staffing for telecommunications and internal affairs. The fire department’s capital projects include the design and build of a station in Estrella Mountain Ranch, and the relocation and replacement of station No. 181. The department will begin hiring for the Estrella station in July, with the operational costs paid for by the developer, Newland, for the next five years. The city manager’s recommended budget calls for 14 additional staff. The department is bringing on board employees to staff the ambulance service slated to begin in July, fiscal year 2020. The April 9 discussion was the first step in adopting the 2018-19 budget. Details from the second meeting on April 16 were not available at press time. A budget open house is scheduled for 6 p.m. Thursday, May 3, at City Hall. The council is expected to adopt the budget during its Monday, May 21, meeting.

Ducey plans pay hike for teachers By Howard Fischer Capitol Media Services Hoping to head off a walkout, Gov. Doug Ducey unveiled a plan April 12 he said will provide teachers the 20 percent pay hike they are demanding – by the 2020-2021 school year. The governor said he believes there are enough new tax dollars coming in the state through economic development and simple population growth to immediately bump the average teacher salary in Arizona by 9 percent, to $52,725 by the new school year. That compares with $48,372 currently, according to the Auditor General’s Office. There would be another 5 percent hike for the 2019-2020 school year and 5 percent more the following year, bringing the average salary by the fall of 2020 to $58,130. It’s actually only a 19 percent hike over current wages, as the governor is counting the 1 percent raise teachers already got this year. That infusion of $684 million, on top

Thomas said even if Ducey can deliver on the immediate hike, there is no guarantee that the money will be there in future years. He said the only way to assure that is to put a tax hike proposal on the ballot, something the governor has refused to do – and considers unnecessary. And Thomas, whose organization already is backing Democrat David Garcia to replace Ducey in November, also said he lacks trust that the governor will do what he promised. “Remember, this is the same governor that offered 2 percent over five years,” Thomas said, referring to Ducey’s original pay hike plan he trotted out a year ago. Others also are keeping watch for details. “It’s an idea worth being optimistic about,” said Dawn Penich-Thacker, spokeswoman for Save Our Schools.

Plan...continued from page 8

That is the group of teachers and parents that gathered enough signatures to force a public vote on the 2017 decision by lawmakers to spend more tax dollars to help children go to private and parochial schools. She said her organization intends to watch and make sure that Ducey can deliver what he promised. “If it really materializes, that’s a good enough gesture to keep working on everything else that needs to be done,” Penich-Thacker said. What is clear is that the governor has sharply changed his position. Just two days earlier, Ducey said he was sticking with his plan to give teachers only a 1 percent pay increase for this coming year. And he accused leaders of Arizona Educators United and the Arizona Education Association of “playing politics.” But the governor has been overwhelmed by events – and specifically tens of thousands of teachers staging “walk ins” April 11 at more than half of the state’s public schools as a show of support for that 20 percent demand. That also was designed to show that, like counterparts in West Virginia and Oklahoma, they would consider a strike. At the hastily called press conference April 12, Ducey insisted he has been working on the teacher pay issue “for some time.” But the governor also made it clear that he is not operating in a political vacuum. “I have been paying attention to what’s going on out across the state,” he said. “I’ve been listening, and I’ve been impressed.’’ House Minority Leader Rebecca Rios, D-Phoenix, said it’s clear that the governor’s hand had been forced.

“It’s amazing what a threatened teacher strike in an election year can do,” she said. The governor’s plan comes on the heels of House Speaker J.D. Mesnard crafting his own proposal for a 20 percent pay hike for teachers. But Mesnard’s plan does not get teachers there until the 20222023 school year. Potentially more significant, he funds it not with using new money but largely by diverting funds from the “district additional assistance” account money schools are counting on for other needs, such as computers, books and even school buses. That, according to school officials, is a nonstarter. “The Legislature’s plan is terrible,’’ said Chuck Essigs, lobbyist for the Association of Arizona School Business Officials. In fact, he pointed out that various education groups are now in court suing over the failure of the state to provide those funds in prior years. Ducey did not mention Mesnard’s proposal, at least not directly, as he said his plan does not divert other education dollars. “There will be no shell game,” the governor said. Mesnard, who was at Ducey’s press conference, was noncommittal in his response. “Obviously I look forward to working with the governor,” the speaker said, saying he needs more details of exactly where Ducey intends to get the money. But Mesnard agreed with the governor that the current plan – a 1 percent raise for the current year – was not going to cut it. “We all share the same priority,” he said.

Flores has been teaching for 10 years, but has not seen a significant pay increase to help cover the cost of living in the West Valley. At the end of the school year, Flores and his wife, who is also a teacher, are planning to move to California, where, he said, salaries are higher. “Unless something changes here, we can’t really live well as teachers,” he said. He loves his job, but it’s just not feasible to live that way. “There is no reason that our educators, our supporting staff and maintenance shouldn’t be compensated.” Flores is not the only one facing pay issues. At the end of the school year, teacher Paul Hale is stepping down from

his job after two decades at Verrado Heritage. He didn’t reveal his next move, but he said it’s upsetting to leave the kids he has grown to love. His salary just doesn’t provide for his family, he added. “I still have students from 15 years ago who get in touch with me all the time, and it’s cool because now I get to see their own babies growing up,” he said. “To walk away from that is not an easy decision, but it’s just not easy to live on the salary, and that’s something that’s happening across Arizona as we slip further down in relation to other states.” Although the attendees said the resources allocated to schools are not enough, they are determined to work toward better conditions. “It’s amazing to see everyone here, and it’s incredibly encouraging,” Coleman said. “We’ve already felt that with the community. But to see the entire state rally together like this, especially in a state like Arizona, is outstanding.”

Maricopa County launches text to 9-1-1 service By Connor Dziawura

Through the service, emergency responders can still interact with residents, though it takes longer (potentially lengthening response times) and they are not automatically provided with the resident’s location. Residents who contact a call center through the service are urged to provide their address or location. Maricopa County recently implemented a text-to-9-1-1 “It is critically important service allowing residents in Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Tolleson and Luke Air Force Base an to always provide the alternative means to contacting emergency responders. exact location of where (Photo courtesy City of Buckeye). the emergency response text if they are absolutely unable is needed right away,” said Avondale to make a voice call,” said Sharron Police Communications Manager Mike Jagger, Goodyear Police Department’s Folia, adding, “It doesn’t matter whether 9-1-1 supervisor and assistant training you’re making a voice call or a text to facilitator. “A text conversation 9-1-1.” takes significantly longer to relay As such, and while text-to-9-1-1 is information back and forth than a voice a helpful addition, law enforcement call would.

According to Jagger, the preparation was lengthy, as they had to coordinate between cities to ensure each agency was properly trained. “The internal preparation included creating policies and procedures for usage of the system and in-depth training for all telecommunications personnel that will be using the system,” she added. Though the service is only available in English, group text and language translation support are in the works. Raymond D. James M.

The text-to-9-1-1 service capabilities span the county. “Texting has become a very important means of communication and we are excited to bring this technology to 9-1-1 service following months of united efforts and leadership,” said MAG Chairman and Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck. The service is essential for those who may be in imminent danger and unable to call, such as in domestic violence or

Providing additional support to individuals with hearing or speech disabilities is a large part of it as well. “Technology often opens doors and makes life easier, and texting to 9-1-1 will allow people who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired to summon emergency services, report crimes, and summon aid for others,” said Rose Daly-Rooney, legal director at the Arizona Center for Disability Law. National Association of the Deaf CEO Howard A. Rosenblum said, “Texting to 9-1-1 makes emergency services more accessible to the more than 150,000 Valley residents who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or have speech difficulties. Maricopa County and Phoenix are providing a model for the rest of the state and country in making their 9-1-1 services accessible to all.”

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

MARGULIES' OPINION — jimmymargulies.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The Pass/Fail party Editor: Roy Azzarello is scared to death of the progressives; he is also afraid of illegal immigrants (they make all residents unsafe). Roy is also afraid of losing our rights to bear arms, even war weapons. Conservatives are afraid of providing health care to taxpaying people who live in our country and pay taxes but cannot afford health care. Conservatives are willing to take their tax money and share in the benefits while withholding benefits. The conservatives are also afraid of raising the minimum wage or paying our teachers a decent wage. They are afraid that raising the minimum wage would raise the cost of a hamburger, really, or could it be that large corporations would be forced to pay decent wages to their employees, instead of sending the profits to the shareholders. As far as the teachers are concerned, the conservatives know that teachers are more likely to be liberals, scientists are also more likely to be liberals and so are intellectuals. NASA is filled with liberals who believe we should be working harder to slow global warming. Because of this, conservatives have reduced NASA’s budget to the extent we now take a Russian taxi to our space station. Conservatives have always emphasized fear to gain votes, and so do the liberals; the problem with fear is that it does not solve problems. What does solve problems is the ability of conservatives and liberals to work together. Our country is evenly divided because “evolution” decided it was the best way for our species to survive (read “blue brain/red brain”). I suggest we need a new party, the Pass/Fail party. Most agree that our government is failing; this means the Pass/Fail party will not vote for any incumbents in the next election; conservatives/liberals x incumbents. Art Boyle Buckeye

Tipirneni is the only sane choice Editor: The Eighth Congressional District of Arizona was led for too long by a feckless, disingenuous and corrupt representative and his solicitation to sire a child, making intimacy a part of the agreement to a staffer. This was emblematic of his style of leadership if you can call it that. Now with Debbie Lesko asking to fill his

shoes, we would be getting another Representative who would be owned, bought and paid for by the Koch Brothers. A Lesko representation would include support for privatizing social security and Medicare; continuous diminution of common sense environmental regulations, banking and Wall Street oversight; continuous toleration of price gouging by the pharmaceutical industry; and, of course, the continuous and absurd tolerance of an out-of-control presidential administration rife with profligate corruption, appalling incompetence and monumental arrogance with complete disregard for our input bent on instigating a war. Believe me; John Bolton already has his vice on him. This cannot continue! The best and only choice on April 24 for our district is Dr. Hiral Tipirneni who will fight to reinstate protections for the environment, social security, Medicare, consumers of financial services, education, the impoverished and see to it that this renegade administration is brought to long overdue justice. She is the only real candidate who will represent us. She will not be a shill for this mendacious and duplicitous so-called president. Those of us who actually do respect the Constitution have been too silent for too long and we are paying the cost with Trump. We are a majority of voters now and we need to show up and vote for Dr. Hiral Tipirneni. I already have mailed in my ballot. David Compton Litchfield Park

Ideas for Sundance Park Editor: Hello, my name is Titan Lewis, and I am sending this letter to give my opinion on the Phase II of the Sundance Park meeting. One main thing I really would like is a BMX course and/or a skate park, for the reason being of a few other options for the Sundance Park. One of the options for the Sundance Park was fields; I don’t see the need for more fields because we already have many fields in Old Town Buckeye and right next to the Sundance Park. Another option was a lake and an extreme walking path. One more thing that would be nice is a lake. I saw the master plans on the post board at the meeting. I think a good idea is to make a lake with a walking path around it that would still leave room for a BMX course or a skate park. A few last options were a ramada area, which we already have at Sundance Park.

My main point is most of the choices we already have. One thing we don’t have in Buckeye is a good skate park or BMX trails. Thank you for your time. Titan Lewis Goodyear

Teacher pay rebuttal to Harry Callahan Editor: I was a teacher in Arizona for 40 years. These are the facts of the life of a teacher in Arizona. In 1976, when I began teaching, the annual beginning teacher’s salary in my district was $4,798. Of course, everything is now multiplied by 10; so basically, nothing has changed in 40 years. The average salary in that district is now $38,920, according to its website. That means it didn’t achieve parity with ongoing economic conditions. That summer I needed a job, as I was newly divorced with two children under the age of 3. I was offered a job painting school rooms for the same district at $9 an hour. I made more in two months ($2,880) than I did in the school year. (Aside, my husband left in October and I only got a half-time position in December 1976. I taught kindergarten for half a year equaling $2,399.) In 1976, I had a BA degree in English from the University of California Santa Barbara and a second BA in education from ASU. I went to school every semester including summer sessions for five years to earn my MED in special education, so I could better support my family. When I bought my first home in the West Valley, I was making $23,000 a year in 1982. To fill in the income gap, I started teaching English for the Maricopa Community College District in 1982. I supplemented my income through this

resource for the next 32 years. In addition, I spent my summers attending summer school at my own expense until I had my master’s degree plus 60 credits to move on the salary scale. Some companies in the “real world” have compensation packages for those who go to school to improve their skills – not in education. While I was teaching full time for the elementary district and creating lesson plans and grading papers on my own time at home, I was also grading papers for up to three classes of college English students and teaching nine hours a week. These classes also required planning and creating slides and overhead instructional materials. My combined income netted me an average yearly income of $75,000 a year. It was a workable income and through much refinancing of my house to pay off bills as the children entered college and expenses increased, we made it. However, don’t ever tell me I worked part time! If teachers earned a workable salary commensurate with their required education and commitment to their students, they could devote their full attention to one job and be more effective.

#RedForEd? I think it’s #PrettyMuchDead By David Leibowitz

Watching the #RedForEd teacher pay movement gain steam, I keep thinking about the late Yankees baseball legend Yogi Berra, who once famously said, “It’s déjà vu all over again.” Back in 2010, I began working in politics by helping run the Yes on 100 ballot campaign. That measure, placed before the state’s voters by Gov. Jan Brewer and the Arizona Legislature, created a temporary one-cent sales tax to generate $1 billion in revenue annually for three years. The biggest recipient of these funds? K-12 education, which received about two dollars out of every three Proposition 100 created. Yes on 100 won in a landslide that May, and I can still recite by heart every talking point from that campaign, including the one I think about each time I see a #RedForEd story. “All Proposition 100 does,” we must have said a thousand times, “is restore education funding levels back to where they were in 2004.” That was eight years ago. Today?

to be asked to dig into the The #RedForEd marchers couch cushions and find have already said a thouanother two cents. sand times, “All we’re tryHere’s some political ing to do is restore educapunditry for you: Neither tion funding levels back to one of those things is going where they were in 2008.” to happen. See what I mean by déjà We are in the midst of an vu? election year for the state Restoring education Legislature and Gov. Doug funding to 2008 levels – which would cost Arizona David Leibowitz. (Photo Ducey. No politician with a R- appended to his or her taxpayers about $1 billion courtesy Advisor Group) name – which is a majority a year – is only one of the #RedForEd demands. There’s also of the Legislature – is going request a teacher raises: A 20-percent bump to tax hike when their job is at stake. And bring the median Arizona teacher’s without more tax revenue, there’s no salary closer to the national median of way to pay for what #RedForEd has about $55,000 a year. The cost estimates demanded. Thus, Arizona is squarely stuck in I’ve seen in the news put the total cost for last decade when it comes to funding such a raise near $700 million annually. Sorry if this suddenly feels like an education and paying teachers. Consider SAT math problem. If you’re still that the lesson of a longtime favorite playing along at home, that means the phrase of politicians everywhere: state needs to find an extra $1.7 billion “Doing more with less.” The more you somewhere – out of an annual budget do more with less, the more difficult of $10 billion – or Arizona voters need it gets to ask for more. That’s because

virtually no one, including yours truly, wants to pay more taxes. A two-pennies-on-the-dollar sales tax increase would be a very tough sell to Arizona voters. Such a hike would take our state’s sales tax to 7.6 percent, which would be the highest state sales rate in America. And it would take the price of a Big Mac – with state sales tax included – from about $4.22 to $4.29. An extra seven cents for a $3.99 hamburger. Hmm. Extend the “extra two cents on a dollar purchase” math to all taxable purchases and the tab probably comes to about three bucks a week for the average Arizona family. Would voters go for it, go #GreenForEd, to better fund schools and pay Arizona teachers an average day’s wage? I wouldn’t bet on it. Call me a cynic, but I tend to agree with Yogi on this one: The future ain’t what it used to be. – David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@ leibowitzsolo.com.

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another great column of Business Briefcase. Well, we have finally hit triple-digit temperatures. With the weather hitting 100 degrees April 10, spring has come and passed, it seems. I wish we had a little bit more time to enjoy the cooler temperatures, but alas. Enough of my rambling, though. Let’s get on with what you all came here for! This week, I have an array of different business updates for you. Ranging from a sizeable update to a Buckeye business, to several Goodyear businesses celebrating with ribbon cuttings, all the way to several returning chamber events that are sure to provide quality information to current and future business owners, it’s a diverse lineup of happenings.

April’s focus will provide insight on marketing, advertising, promotions, branding and social media, all aimed to help find and retain customers. One other event I will discuss today is the recurring Lunch N Learn. This day’s focus is Saving vs. Investing: What is the difference? It will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 24.

Seating is limited, so contact the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce at 623-932-2260 or info@southwestvalleychamber.org to RSVP. The chamber is located at 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. To round the column out, I received an inquiry about the old Room Store location at 555 Litchfield Road in Goodyear. The reader mentioned seeing work going on at the property. So, I checked in with the city’s Economic Development Department. Apparently, the building permits were pulled by the owner. No tenant has been disclosed yet. As this is the extent of the information I have at the time, I will keep pushing to see if anything changes. That’s all the briefs for this week! Thanks for reading!

Sandwich Masterz serves all-natural options By Connor Dziawura everything. And when we looked at all these chains, it was always processed meats,” he explained. Though he understands the reasons large franchises go with the processed options, such as cost effectiveness and accounting for meat shrinkage and fat, it wasn’t the “natural” choice for Sandwich Masterz. “I think this is the future and I think this is what a lot more people are looking for with real, all-natural meats and cheeses,” Iurcu said. The shop’s menu is expansive with more than 150 options. Kids, vegan and vegetarian options are available. “We sell more Italians than any other sandwich on our menu,” Iurcu said. The Italian consists of salami, pepperoni, ham, Italian dressing and provolone. Another popular choice, he said, is The Perfect Blend, a turkey, bacon, pastrami, roast beef and cheddar cheese choice. On a different end of the spectrum, customers love their prime rib sandwiches, he said.

Cas Iurcu wants to change the sandwich industry. To accomplish that task, he and his wife, Darina, opened Sandwich Masterz in Goodyear. “We do not use a lunch meat, a deli meat or a processed meat,” said Iurcu, whose restaurant was welcomed to the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, April 12. “We actually use real meat.” The meats are cooked in house, and have no preservatives, fillers or added nitrates, he said. This natural goal continues across Sandwich Masterz’s other ingredients. “Now, the cheeses we use are all natural except for American, and our bread has no preservatives or high fructose corn syrup in it either,” Iurcu explained. Individuals looking to kick the carbs can easily make any sandwich a salad, upon request. Wraps are also a choice. Iurcu said the all-natural route was an easy one. “I grew up in Montana, so we always grew up with real meats and

“Our prime rib sandwiches are amazing, too. A lot of people like our garlic peppercorn cheesesteak and things like that,” he said of the prime rib with mayo, onions, peppers, jalapenos, garlic peppercorn sauce and cheese sandwich. Customers have appreciated the Sandwich Masterz’s penchant for fresh items.

“So far, we’ve gotten a good response, and we hope to keep it going,” he said. Sandwich Masterz 380 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite A3 Goodyear 623-925-2020 sandwichmasterz.com

Litchfield Park gets sweet with Purple Elephant Cakes

By Connor Dziawura

Jin Hee Sonu, who founded Litchfield Park’s Purple Elephant Cakes, has a storied history with treats. Born and raised in South Korea, she began her career in a much different field: public relations. Unhappy with her job, she searched for something sweeter. “In South Korea, parents want you to be either a doctor or a lawyer or working for Samsung,” explained Sonu, who is also Purple Elephant Cakes’ cake designer. “That’s their dream for their children. My parents were the same. I was a good child. I was raised to study hard. I went to good college, and then I got my first job in PR for a credit card company, which makes really good money.” Her parents were pleased, but she wasn’t happy. “I hated my job so much,” she said. “I always enjoyed baking and I love sweets. Suddenly, one morning, I just really couldn’t continue with my job.” To her parents’ dismay, Sonu saved

money for two years and traveled to New York to pursue her dream job – without knowing any English. She studied at the French Culinary Institute (now International Culinary Center), and mastered the art at Café Boulud, Spice Market, Morimoto, the Gilt at the Palace Hotel and Morgan Hotel Group. Then, in 2010, she founded the first Purple Elephant in Manhattan’s Upper East Side with fellow alumnus Candy Tamano Iannelli. After two years, Sonu moved to the San Francisco Bay area so her husband could open a taekwondo studio. Purple Elephant relocated to San Mateo. In 2016, the couple moved both businesses to Arizona. Purple Elephant Cakes and Taekwon Kids are now neighbors in Litchfield Park. According to Sonu, friends suggested she open her shop in Scottsdale, which has a plentiful cake market. By opening a storefront in Litchfield Park in March, she is bringing something new to the table.

New Arthritis Painkiller Works on Contact and Numbs the Pain in Minutes New cream works faster and is more targeted than oral medications. Key ingredients penetrate the skin within minutes to relieve joint arthritis pain. Users report signiﬁcant immediate relief.

By Robert Ward Associated Health Press BOSTON – Innovus Pharmaceuticals has introduced a new arthritis pain relief treatment that works in minutes. Sold under the brand name Apeaz™, the new pain relief cream numbs the nerves right below the skin. When applied to an arthritic joint, or a painful area on the body, it delivers immediate relief that lasts for hours and hours. The powerful painkilling effect is created by the creams active ingredient, a special medical compound. Anesthetics are used in hospitals during surgery. They block nerve signals from the brain so that patients don’t feel pain and they work fast. The anesthetic found in Apeaz™ is the strongest available without a prescription. The cream form allows users to directly target their area of pain. It works where it is applied. The company says this is why the product is so effective and fast acting. “Users can expect to feel relief immediately after applying,” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj, President of Innovus Pharmaceuticals. “There will a pleasant warming sensation that is followed by a cool, soothing one. This is how you know that the active ingredients have reached the infected joint and tissue.”

Works In Minutes

For arthritis suffers, Apeaz offers impressive advantages over traditional medications. The most obvious is how quickly it relieves discomfort. The cream contains the maximum approved dose of a top anesthetic, which penetrates the skin in a matter of minutes to numb the area that’s in pain. This relief lasts for several hours.

Additional ingredients in the cream help suppress inammation around tissues and joints. Published pre-clinical studies have shown that the ingredients in Apeaz™ can also prevent further bone and cartilage destruction. There are also no negative side effects from the oral medication. Apeaz™ delivers its ingredients through the skin. Oral medications are absorbed in the digestive tract. Overtime, the chemicals in pills can tear the delicate lining of the stomach, causing ulcers and bleeding. When compared to other arthritis medications, Apeaz™ is a fraction of the cost. At less than $2 a day, the cream quickly is becoming a household name. Those with terrible arthritis in their hands and ngers, love how easy Apeaz™ is to open. The jar ts in the palm of the hand, which makes it much easier to use.

Instant Pain Relief Without a Prescription

Many Apeaz™ users report signicant improvements in daily aches and pain. Many more report increased exibility and less stiffness. They are moving pain free for the rst time in years, like Henry Esber, and early user of Apeaz™. “I’ve tried more pills than I can count. I’ve also had a handful of cortisone shots. Nothing is as effective as this product. With Apeaz™, I get relief right away. I rub a little on my knees and some through my hands. It keeps the pain away. It also prevents the pain from getting really bad. It’s completely changed my life.”

How It Works

“Apeaz™ contains the highest, non-prescription dose of a medical compound that ghts pain on contact. When applied to the skin it goes to work within minutes by penetrating right to the source of your pain, numbing the nerve eendings.” d gs.

Apeaz™ is an FDA drug with approved claims for the pain relief of the following conditions: • Arthritis pain • Simple back pain • Strains • Sprains • Athletic injuries • Muscle stiffness and pain • Wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot, muscle or joint pain

Apeaz™: Quick Acting Pain and Arthritis Cream is Now Available Without a Prescription “This is why Apeaz™ is so effective for people with arthritis. It reduces pain while adding an additional layer of joint protection,” explains Damaj.

A New Way to Treat Pain

Although Dr. Damaj and his team say that their cream is the fastest and most effective way to relieve arthritis pain, they believe there is still a reason to take joint pills. The most effective are those which help to further strengthen and support the joints. That’s why every container of Apeaz™ comes with ArthriVarx™, a breakthrough pill that’s taking on joint support in an entirely new way. ArthriVarx™ works on your joints, making it the perfect companion to Apeaz™. “ArthriVarx™ contains special compounds published to lubricate the joints and connective tissues that surrounds them. With daily use, they improve joint health and can give an extra cushion,” explains Dr. Damaj. “When combined with Apeaz™, it becomes the perfect system to tackle arthritis. While the anesthetic component of Apeaz™ is working on the outside, relieving pain on contact, ArthriVarx™ is working on the inside, adding cushioning to the joints”’

A Powerful Combination For Arthritis and Joint Pain

With daily use, Apeaz™ plus ArthriVarx™ helps users live a more vital, pain free life without any of the negative side effects or interactions associated with oral drugs.

By delivering fast, long-lasting, and targeted relief from joint pain and reducing inammation and swelling that causes joint damage, Apeaz™ and ArthriVarx™ is the newest, most effective way to tackle your arthritis pain. You can now enjoy an entirely new level of comfort that’s both safe and affordable. It is also extremely effective, especially if nothing else has worked well for you.

Millennium Baseball on the verge of second postseason appearance By Griffin Fabits The Millennium Tigers have a new lease on life, thanks to an eight-game winning streak that propelled them back into the playoff hunt. Managed by first-year skipper Jerod Burleson, the Tigers took some time to click. They stumbled to a 7-9 record, and senior Logan McDonald and juniors Tanner Thomason and Alex Figueroa admitted the group wasn’t playing as a team. McDonald billed it as a “flat” style of play in their first 16 games. Figueroa said the guys were doing it for just themselves. Thomason, a junior slugger who’s batting .406 with two home runs, hit the nail right on the head: The Tigers just needed to adapt to Burleson’s “New Mexico ball.” Burleson was hired in July to manage the Tigers after spending five seasons as a varsity assistant coach

with Farmington High School in Farmington, New Mexico. “It’s not the typical, ‘Hit a home run, hit a home run.’ We’re focusing on playing baseball,” said Thomason, putting an emphasis on the small-ball style of play Burleson has brought to Goodyear. “Arizona ball,” as the boys described, is fast paced. It’s shooting for the gaps, looking for the big hit. Burleson’s type of play has turned the Tigers’ attention to focusing on the small things the game throws at you. “It’s not only that we’re going to do something good, but we’re going to do our job,” McDonald said. “If there’s a runner on second, we’re going to get him over and bring him in. Before the season, I was more about trying to hit a ball into the gap.” That newfound approach may have thrown the Tigers for a curve at first,

but their offense has since thrived under Burleson. According to MaxPreps.com, Millennium averages just over eight runs per game. In games the Tigers win, they score just under 11 times per game. Credit McDonald, Figueroa and Thomason for that. The sneaky-power hitter McDonald bats .338, tied with Thomason for

the team-lead in home runs with two. Figueroa leads the Tigers with a .470 average with seven extra-base hits. Knocking on the door of a second consecutive playoff appearance, the Tigers will need to win two of their last four games – including those against Westview on April 12 and April 17 – to clinch the 6A Southwest Region. The scores of those games were unavailable at press time. The team plays Valley Vista on Monday, April 23. “I feel like we have more confidence,” McDonald said. “Our whole pitching staff is basically returning (from last year) and they know now what it’s like pitching in playoffs. Not only pitching in playoffs, but the intensity we have to bring when we go to a playoff game.” It was Figueroa’s walk-off blast to lift Millennium over Tolleson in 10 innings on April 6 that defined the team. With the game locked at 12 in the bottom of the 10th inning, Figueroa stepped to the plate and jokingly told the catcher he was ready to go home. Maybe he’d end it right here, he thought. After falling behind in the count 1-2, Figueroa delivered. He flicked a chest-high fastball over the wall in right-center field to extend the Tigers’ winning streak and cement Millennium’s postseason fate. And after a moment like that, a certain sense of swagger ensues. It’s that attitude and momentum the Tigers possess that has them poised for a run late into the state tournament. “We just have to keep the momentum going, keep the clock turning and get ready for playoffs,” Thomason said.

West Valley Soccer Club holding tryouts By Griffin Fabits The West Valley Soccer Club is holding tryouts for all boys’ and girls’ levels in May. Formerly known as Far West Soccer and Challenge FC, the club has a “grassroots program” for children ages 6 to 9 who are interested in soccer, according to tryout coordinator Steve Wardell. For 10- to 18-year-old players, training and coaching is offered as are goalkeeper training sessions. Coaches are volunteers. “We are the only club in the Valley that does not pay our coaches,” Wardell said. “We have qualified coaches from local high schools as well as coaches

who work with colleges in the Valley.” Wardell coaches his daughter’s team, the 2005 girls’ squad, a roster comprised of some of the best 12-yearold girls in the Valley, he said. The teams are named after the children’s birth year. He has taken the girls to showcase tournaments, competitions around the country in front of college coaches. This year, the girls will travel to California, Colorado and Utah, with the possibility of college soccer in mind for these 12-year-olds. “We want to get our athletes comfortable with traveling because as a college athlete, you’re going to

travel,” he said. “We want them to experience all of this and understand that that could be part of their lives. We’re not just teaching them soccer and preparing them for that, but also preparing them for the next level and everything that comes with it.” Considering college at age 12 may not sound practical, but Wardell emphasized the children are starting on the right foot as a member of the West Valley Soccer Club. “Doing the right training and putting together the right program for your athletes will develop your athletes into better performing kids.”

WWII veteran celebrates 95th birthday with B-24 flight By Connor Dziawura

World War II Navy veteran Forrest M. “Pete” Petersen hit a major milestone on April 7: his 95th birthday. Just days later, he and his family visited Phoenix Goodyear Airport to see and fly in the world’s only fully restored and flying Consolidated B-24J Liberator. A mechanical problem prevented him from flying during his first visit, but after a quick fix, he set off into the air in formation to Bullhead City the next day. Visiting the plane was special, as Pete served as a B-24 crew chief during his Navy days. He was responsible for maintenance and repairs on the plane. “Today it seems like a much bigger airplane than it was,” he said. “When I was around them seven days a week, I used to change the tires by myself ... And there’s nothing to it, but now I don’t think one man would ever attempt.” While in the air, he had a seat behind the pilot. If they were in combat, he would have manned the top gun turret. “On the ground, the airplane was all mine,” he said. “As soon as it was gone, not far off, it belonged to the pilot.” Getting Pete to Phoenix Goodyear Airport to check out the B-24 was important to his son, Stephen, who said they visited the touring B-24 last year and decided to keep an eye out for future visits. “It’s the memories that this sparks with him, it is so worth it,” Stephen said.

Navy days

his son Stephen explained. “They sent a B-24 over to photograph it, and it crashed. And it had things on it that they didn’t want the Japanese to get, like the bomb site, things like that. They sent dad’s squadron up to Alaska. They dismantled the plane and took it out before the Japanese could find it.” But that’s just one of many stories Pete has told over the years. Another one included trying to hide a B-24 in the forest while in Guam. Of the task, he said, “you got a job.” When asked if he had blueprints, he simply pointed at his head and said, “Right up here.” As a keepsake of his experiences, Pete saved a B-24 clock. Stephen had it fixed, and “it keeps perfect time,” according to Pete. “To the best that they can find, it is the last working clock out of a B-24,” Stephen said. “We had a new mainspring handmade for it. The rest of it is completely original.” To get it, though, he had to beat his pilot to it. They wanted the clock before the plane was scrapped. He ended up besting him by one minute with a screwdriver prepared. To many, Pete’s service is an inspiration. “What amazes me is when I stop to think, when he became a crew chief, he was 19 years old,” Stephen said. “To step up and take that responsibility at 19 in a place that you’ve never been, you never dreamed of, you didn’t even know existed, that would be tough.”

Pete grew up in Harlan, Iowa. Of growing up in Harlan with his mother, father, brother and sister, he said, “It was like being in heaven. To me, there’s no place like home.” He enlisted in the Navy as a high school senior in 1941. “I’ve always wanted to join the Navy,” he said. “I went to Des Moines, Iowa. I enlisted and then I went home, and I told my dad. Dad says, ‘What did you do?’ ‘I enlisted in the Navy.’ ‘You what?!’ ‘I enlisted in the Navy. Six years.’ ‘Oh my God, that’s a long time!’” But for Pete, it wasn’t a long time. As a matter of fact, “It went pretty fast,” he said. During his service, he traveled to Guam, Saipan, Tinian, going “all the way around,” he said. He also had a mission in Alaska. “Early in the war, Japan actually built a base in the Aleutian Islands,”

Because he had dropped out of high school to enlist, he was given an honorary diploma. Following his service, he spent more than 30 years working at his hometown hardware store. “When I got out, I had a Coast to Coast store in Harlan, Iowa. It’s a hardware store,” he said. “We sold a little bit of everything. It was pretty good.” After retiring from the hardware store, he spent about another 15 years driving a school bus until he hit mandatory retirement, Stephen said. Pete moved to Goodyear a year and a half ago, though he still maintains contact with many people from his storied past. He received a large stack of birthday cards, many of which came from Harlan. Some were from families of students he had driven at school. “He kept in touch with a lot of his

friends from the Navy, people that he served with up until about eight years, ten years ago, then we started to lose them,” Stephen said. “Yeah, they’re going. They’re going,” Pete chimed in, adding, “I’m in no hurry.”

Single parents can get guidance at Christ Presbyterian By Lynette Carrington Single parenting can be challenging, but there are support organizations to assist with the journey. One is Christ Presbyterian Church’s Single and Parenting, a group that aims to help single parents navigate tough topics. It is led by church director Carol Phillips and her husband, Scott, both of whom are 10-year congregation members.

“I’ve been doing the specialized ministries at church for six of those years,” she said. “I started by doing DivorceCare, then I started doing GriefShare and I helped to start Single and Parenting.” Single and Parenting meets on Tuesdays, and single parents can join at any time. Topics include parenting tools and projects, conflict and resolution,

dating, money and career, talking and listening, parenting approaches and God’s love. Christianity is not the focus. “It’s inevitable, because it’s a part of most people’s lives,” Phillips said. “We have some people who do not have a kind of faith and we don’t want to eliminate or offend them.” The program has three components: a workbook, video and discussion time. “The workbook is discussed initially, then we show a video and the videos are wonderful,” Phillips said. “There is so much information in them, and then we open it up for discussion.” Videos include interviews with counselors, speakers, pastors and leading authors who bring and offer a wealth of information. Some of the 30 experts featured in the informative videos include Dr. Bob Barnes, Julie Smith Lowe, Michele Howe, Dr. Paul David Tripp and Sabrina D. Black. Children are included as well. “There is also a children’s program,

so we have child care for children ages 5-12,” Phillips said. “That program has age-appropriate conversation that will correspond with the parents’ program topics.” There are typically 10 adults and a handful of children who attend each week. “Single and Parenting, DivorceCare and GriefShare are all 13-week, Biblebased international programs and follow the same format,” Phillips said. Phillips launched the Single and Parenting at Christ Presbyterian Church. She is now transitioning back to GriefShare. Diane Parnitzke and Sharon Offerdahl will take on the leadership roles of the interactive class. The current session of Single and Parenting meets 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesdays through May 29, at the church, 925 N. Sarival Avenue, Goodyear. The workbook is $20.

EMCC to hold community event By Connor Dziawura Estrella Mountain Community College is hosting a free event to bring together individuals from different artistic mediums and cultures at its conference center from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 25. Across the event’s three hours, art will be on display, musicians will perform and New Orleans rapper Fiend will speak to students. The program continues EMCC’s goal of bringing guests to the college. “We often hold events that focus on teaching and learning,” said Dr. Carlotta Abrams, English and creative writing teacher. “That’s been a cornerstone of my time here; we’ve always focused on teaching and learning.” She is retiring this year, and planned the event with the school. “So, we bring various speakers and music to the college and, in my 23 years, that brought a lot of folks.” Killer Mike, Chingo Bling, Bobby Seale, Kevin Powell and Charlie Braxton are names cited by Abrams as having spoken at previous school engagements. This event will kick off with a performance by taiko drummer Ken Koshio. Hailing from Nagoya, Japan, Koshio will play the drums, sing, and use additional instrumentation such as the shinobue bamboo flute and horagai conch shell, he said. Koshio calls performing – and music in general – a universal language. “When we’re on the stage or perform together, we know we’re talking in the same language,” he said. “Music is actually one language, and especially drumming is one of the most elementary instruments for all of us from our indigenous. So that’s one thing, that tool, the communication, I believe.” Other musicians who will perform include Candice Chavez, Eddy Detroit and Matthew Rowe, Abrams said. Fiend, also known as International Jones, is looking forward to his visit. “A lot of these kids don’t get a chance to ask their favorite artists or someone that knows their favorite

artists or someone who has been in the music business or any business certain questions,” Fiend said. “They don’t have this hands-on thing. So, I find it to be inspiring to be able to be available to talk to these kids and find out where their mind is at – 20 years old, 18 years old, 22 years old, the next leaders of the world – to want to pick each other’s brains.” Fiend has over 20 years’ experience in the music industry, and has released a large number of projects, some of which he made while signed to Master P’s No Limit Records. He is now with Jet Life Recordings, and has also worked with Ruff Ryders Entertainment. Although he has spoken at other schools and companies, and for inmates, this will be his first time speaking at a college, he said. He will discuss his clothing line, Sleepy Bear, and being an entrepreneur; and knowing when to be patient, he said. “I’m extremely eager to talk to the college out here in Arizona,” Fiend said. “Really, I’m excited to find out what kind of questions they have and things like that.” Aside from the speaking engagement, though, Fiend cites a busy work schedule ahead. He recently released a new project titled Player Chit as International Jones, and he is happy with the performance of Sleepy Bear. “I’m just here enjoying being a family man, being a husband, a father of three kids, a son to my mom, that’s what I’m into,” he said. “I still make music. I feel like I was born and raised to make music. I have a gang of projects coming out. I got producers that I manage, movie scripts that I’m shopping, TV shows I’m negotiating. I have a plethora of things I’m doing.” The diversity in the talent coming to EMCC is intentional, Abrams explained. “What I like to do, in this event and in general, is to bring the most disparate people together,” she said. “In doing so, we bring together the community

and we build bridges.” Historical artifacts, Native American art, and more will also be on display for students and community members to observe, Abrams said. “What I’ve done, my mission at the campus, has always been to look at how those things that we do every day, like listen to music, have an educational background to them,” Abrams said. “And so, that’s why I invited different people to truly educate about their own cultures and their societies.” drummer Ken Koshio will open Estrella Mountain Though the event is Taiko Community College’s celebration of teaching and learning free, Abrams recommends on April 25.

LESD hosts safety event for learning disabled children By Krys Estes The Litchfield Elementary School District hosted a safety event that allowed children with autism spectrum disorder and Tourette’s syndrome to engage with law enforcement officials at Wigwam Creek Middle School in Litchfield Park on April 7. Event organizers hoped the event would make children feel more comfortable around public safety personnel. The Buckeye Police Department mistook a 14-year-old boy with autism for a drug user last summer. The event featured videos that recalled safety laws of driving, use of first responders, gaining trust in law enforcement, “never run from the police” motto, always keep hands visible, never touch any part of an officer including his equipment, what to do when encountering a working K-9, reenactments and games like Jeopardy and Simon Says. “What a great turnout for this life-

different departments together and have so many officer, parent, student and staff participants the first time around. It was such a wonderful accomplishment.” Karen Watson, event assistant and parent to Nicholas Watson, who has ASD, said the program was “near and dear to my heart.” “It is important that our special needs children know that law enforcement are just here to help them and how to

appropriately interact with police,” she said. Five law enforcement agencies were represented, including the Avondale, Buckeye, Glendale and Goodyear police departments, along with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. “I thought it was a great and fun event,” said Lt. Jason DeHaan of the Goodyear Police Department. “I was a little nervous in the beginning because I was not sure what to expect, but it ended up being a very educational and beneficial event for both the students and law enforcement to gain perspective and understanding in our processes and why we are required to do what we do.” Verrado High School’s life skills teacher Don Duplin called the event a great precursor to preparing students with disabilities for high school. “It is crucial to implement these skills with how to interact with law enforcement properly as the students are getting ready to enter high school and then become adults,” he said.

Student ideas come to life at ‘One World’

By Nicole Hehl

Students at Verrado High School in Buckeye are taking on the world by tackling problems and creating projects with real-life applications. The students will be showing off what they have learned Tuesday, April 24, at One World, One Verrado Night. The focus of the evening is on projectbased learning, which Principal Kristen Tiffany described as a teaching method that allows students to determine and create a lot of their own learning. Students are given a real-world task, problem or complex question that they must answer through research, often with a team, and by applying the knowledge they learn in class. “It is important to be able to take the learning that occurs in the classroom and bring it beyond those ‘walls,’” Tiffany said. Community involvement is a big part of the special night, and staff say students are eager for the outreach opportunity and to have conversations about their ideas with an authentic audience. “It is awesome to see my Vipers get excited about what they are learning,” Tiffany said. “This opportunity to share it with parents, siblings, peers and community members is something that we do not get to do

often enough.” The event takes over the Verrado campus as students showcase the problem-oriented activities they have worked on throughout the year by performing, playing, explaining, demonstrating and teaching attendees. According to Assistant Principal Holly Bonessi, the goal of the event is to allow the community to interact with and participate in the same types of learning activities as Verrado students. “We are really looking to evolve this night into a hands-on, fun and educational event for not only the families of our students, but also for business, government and community leaders, and experts,” Bonessi explained. “This gives our students an opportunity to voice and share their own innovative ideas on issues facing our world.” During One World, One Verrado Night, there will be demonstrations by the fine arts department and presentations on everything from student-created video games, innovative advancement in medicine, water-treatment processes and a Rube Goldberg machine. Other projects include anti-tobacco programs for fifth-grade students,

planning for a disease pandemic, creating public policy and interactive catapults using math to create a successful angle. “These students have great ideas, and this is their opportunity to have a diverse audience,” Bonessi said. “I hope that students understand their ideas matter and that their hard work can make a difference.” Bonessi also hopes attendees will

see the unique and creative views Verrado students have on different topics affecting their lives and possibly leave with a new viewpoint, idea or perspective. One World, One Verrado Night 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 24 Verrado High School, 20050 W. Indian School Road, Buckeye 623-932-7400.

Chuck Baumann Charles (Chuck) Baumann, age 85, died on Monday, April 2nd in Goodyear. He was surrounded by his wife, Kay, and his children. He was a beloved husband for over 58 years, father of five with two wonderful son-in-laws, grandfather (Papou) of two, and loving brother. He was a quiet, humble, and proud man with a wicked sense of humor. He could always make us laugh. He wore a pocket protector like nobody's business. That was his trademark along with a fresh stack of index cards tucked behind his pen. It always made us smile whenever he'd refer to his "notes". He was a brilliant man. After retiring and moving to PebbleCreek, he volunteered thousands of hours tutoring math for 12 years at Perryville Prison. He wanted to play a small role in helping these women better their lives! He was born in Detroit, Michigan in 1932 and spent his career in the aerospace industry as an engineer after serving in the Air Force. The highlight of his career was being part of the Apollo team that put the first man on the moon. He was also part of the Titan, Gemini, Viking, and Space Shuttle teams. He fought a long, hard battle that was often difficult and painful for us to watch, knowing there was absolutely nothing we could do. Unfortunately, he lost that battle. We are all sad, but take comfort in knowing he's no longer suffering. He may have left this world, but he will never leave our hearts! Until the day comes when we see each other again, we love him to the moon and back! In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the inpatient unit of Hospice of the Valley located at 14066 W.

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, March 27, 2018. A Mass of Resurrection was celebrated at St. John Vianney Roman Catholic Church, Goodyear March 28, 2018.

Charles Gilbert Mast Charles Gilbert Mast of Goodyear died Wednesday, April 4, 2018 in Surprise. He was born, November 22, 1939 in Milwaukee, WI to George Mast and Elnore Wolf. Chuck was Chief Engineer at American Welding & Engineering in Cudahy, WI for 38 years. Chuck was very active. He belonged to the Milwaukee Athletic Club and would play racquetball or handball with three coworkers 2-3 times a week after work. He would go to the YMCA to play full court basketball with young college students 3-4 a week until the age of 55. He also loved to play golf. Chuck had his second major stroke sixteen years ago. He was in St. Luke’s Hospital in Milwaukee, WI from July 9th to September 2nd. The lasting effects from the stroke caused Chuck to use a walker in the house and a wheelchair when he went out. Despite these hardships, Chuck found a way to live with grace, humor and without anger at the circumstances which forever impacted his life. Everyone that knew him was touched by his kindness and caring spirit. Chuck, and his main squeeze, Lois Bonn, moved to PebbleCreek in Goodyear fourteen years ago. He is survived by his partner, Lois Bonn; daughter, Lori Musial; son, Steve Mast (Jane); granddaughters, Sarah Skrodiszewski, Anna Hunter, Katie Mast, and Julia Mast; and great-grandson, Jordan. He was preceded in death by his father, George Mast; mother, Elnore Wolf; brother, Richard Mast; and sister, Shirley Scott. Family and friends will hold a celebration of Chuck’s Life at 10:00 am on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at The Becker Ritter Funeral Home, 14075 W.
