Graduation dates still up in the air BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

NEWS .............. 6

For high school seniors, May is typically a combination of joy and activity, with prom, ﬁnals and graduation stacking up to signify the end of a four-year journey. West Valley high school seniors looked forward to tossing graduation caps in the air — a symbol of release. Then came a pandemic. After Gov. Doug Ducey’s order in March, districts around the state closed schools and canceled or postponed all events for the remainder of the school year. West Valley districts are ﬁguring out what that means for graduation ceremonies. Seniors at Agua Fria, Canyon View, Desert Edge, Millennium and Verrado high schools had May 16 graduations postponed. “Graduations for our district high schools are currently slated for July 1 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale,” said

Dennis Runyan, superintendent of Agua Fria Union High School District. Runyan later added the date is still under review and “this is not a done deal ... “We continue to monitor CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) recommendations and this opportunity remains subject to the state and local advisories in place for this July,” Runyan said. But, he added, he is optimistic graduation will happen July 1. “The very spacious stadium venue has also offered to keep in place social distancing supports and to streamline the event ceremony in a safe manner based on the advisories at

Spike in COVID-19 long-term care deaths BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

While the number of Maricopa County deaths due to COVID-19 in long-term care facilities has spiked over the last two weeks, county health ofﬁcials refuse to provide names of the facilities that have had deaths and coronavirus positive tests.

In the last two weeks, of the county’s 73 COVID-19 deaths, 53 were long-term care facility residents, according to data provided by the Maricopa County Department of Public Health. The West Valley View asked Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, Maricopa County’s medical director of public health, to provide the

For more than a month, rather than attending schools, Agua Fria students have been continuing to learn from their homes in Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Waddell. “Our staff and students have worked diligently to keep the fourth quarter moving forward. We have also worked with the professional creativity and support of teachers to modify instructional practices to fit the technology delivery system,” Runyan said. He added that teachers have created “virtual classrooms” with online chat groups through the parent information hub portal at aguafria.org. School is scheduled to end May 21 at Agua Fria district schools. Similarly, Tolleson Union High School District continues online teaching for students of its three Avondale (Westview, West Point, La Joya) and two Tolleson (University, Tolleson Union) high schools. “TUHSD continues to offer learning opportunities each day for students with aligned assessments,” said Joseph Ortiz, a district spokesman. “Final exams were suspended. This decision was made due to variables that could have negatively impacted students; for example, personal or family illness, internet connectivity or financial vulnerabilities.” Graduation was scheduled for May 20 but has been postponed with no date yet, Ortiz said. “We are hopeful that we can do a graduation at a later date over the summer,” Ortiz said.

NEWS He added that proms were canceled. Communication is key, he added: “We have reached out to every staff member and family in our district and

asked that they remain committed to teaching and learning every day making our community.” According to Dr. Paul Tighe, super-

intendent of Saddle Mountain Unified School District, “Tonopah Valley High School is planning several options for graduation in anticipation of various levels of CDC recommendations and state restrictions that could be in effect after April 30. “Plans will be finalized as the end of the school year gets closer and more is known about restrictions on gatherings.” Districts are continuing to provide free breakfast and lunch to students.” Tolleson Union High School District students can receive a five-day meal pack for the week at their schools, according to the district’s website. Meals are distributed from 4 to 6 p.m. Mondays. Agua Fria Unified is collaborating with Litchfield and Avondale elementary school districts to provide “graband-go” breakfast and lunch for students. Last week, more than 35,000 meals were served, Runyan said. For information on locations and times, visit aguafria.org, avondale.k12. az.us or lesd.k12.az.us.

The West Valley View confirmed last month that James King, whose family said he was exposed to the coronavirus at the Groves, a Goodyear senior community that offers independent and assisted living, died of COVID-19 March 29. At that time, five people died of COVID-19 in the county. Mark King said he has been in touch with other residents of the Groves since his father passed away. “No one else there has got it,” Mark King said. Loree Wagner, a spokeswoman for Merrill Gardens, the owner of the Groves, confirmed no other Groves residents have tested positive for COVID-19. On April 11, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health reported 29 long-term facilities had COVID-19 cases, with 156 residents testing positive. Of those, 52 had been hospitalized and 20 died of COVID-19—43% of the 47 county residents who died of the disease at that time. Two weeks later, the county reported 88 long-term care facilities reported at least one positive COVID-19 case, with 455 residents testing positive. Of those, 126 were hospitalized and 73 died of the disease. The 73 deaths represented 60% of the county’s 120 deaths. “We expect the majority of deaths to be 65 and older … a lot of those are residents of long-term facilities, which is the reason we have gone out of our way to reach out to all long-term facilities,” Sunenshine said. “We know

those residents are at the highest risk. “With the vast majority of facilities, we’ve been able to keep to one or two (COVID-19) cases, but there are some cases where we’ve seen a lot of spread, and tragically that is why we are seeing this increase in deaths,” she added. In the county, 3,123 people have tested positive for COVID-19 as of April 24. Sunenshine said each of the positive cases has been contacted, as part of “contact tracing.” She said once a lab sends a positive result to the state’s reporting system, one of 25 AZDHS investigators calls the person who tested positive. Sunenshine said investigators ask people who tested positive for a list of people they spent 10 minutes or more with within 6 feet for up to 48 hours before they tested. Investigators then reach out to contact lists to explain risks while maintaining confidentiality of the people who tested positive, Sunenshine said. She said the county plans to hire more investigators as the number of positive tests—and tests in general—is expected to rise over the next month. Robert Rowley, the county director of Emergency Management, said Maricopa County has distributed 65,800 N95 respirators, 149,450 surgical masks, 29,813 face shields, 82,025 surgical gowns and 180,618 gloves to hospitals, first responders and longterm facilities. He said gowns are running short: “We’re down to just a few days’ supply.” Rowley said the county is accepting personal protective equipment donations, which can be dropped off from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday at 1645 E. Roosevelt Street, Phoenix.

Alleged wife-killer blames Avondale Sen. Lupe Contreras ‘stress of being cooped up’ recovering from COVID-19 BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Social isolation may have contributed to the murder of a Buckeye woman. Buckeye Police arrested John E. Smith, 72, April 9 after he allegedly called 911 to report he shot his wife. Police found Jill Kay Smith dead of multiple gunshots inside the Smith home in the Sun City Festival area of north Buckeye. According to a Buckeye police report, “(Smith) said there were numerous things weighing heavily on his and the victim’s mind lately, including financial burdens. The defendant said the victim may have needed a knee replacement after having already had several of them, he said. “The stress of being cooped up in the house and not being able to leave, due to the coronavirus, was also getting to him.” In an interview, Smith allegedly told

According to the report, Smith told police he killed his wife “and he has to pay for it and there’s not need to lie about it.” He is in the Fourth Avenue Jail awaiting trial for first-degree murder.

End is near for Avondale I-10 exit project BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

A future bridge and interchange at Fairway Drive on Interstate 10 in Avondale is nearing completion. But it won’t be in use until early 2021, after Avondale completes a $4 million Fairway Drive improvement project. The $20 million I-10 bridge and interchange will be completed in the next month, according to ADOT. Crews recently poured the concrete deck for the Fairway Drive bridge over I-10. On- and off-ramps for the future interchange have already been in use as detour routes for traffic at times when I-10 closures have been needed for bridge construction. Other work to be completed over the next month includes resurfacing I-10 between Avondale Boulevard and Dysart Road with a new top layer of smooth rubberized asphalt. Crews also will finish installing lighting and traffic signals. The city of Avondale is designing a Fairway Drive connection to the in-

terchange and plans to start construction when ADOT completes its work on the I-10 project. “This project, envisioned before I was elected to the city council, is just one example of the long-range planning that takes place when it comes to capital projects.

Buckeye City Council has an open seat

BY HAYLEE ELMORE

West Valley View Contributing Writer

Buckeye City Council is looking to fill a vacancy after former District 6 Councilman Eric Orsborn resigned to run for mayor. The vacancy will not be filled for at least a month. Orsborn, who was reelected in 2018 to serve a third four-year term as Dis-

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | APRIL 29, 2020

trict 6 councilman, is the only candidate to file for mayor. Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck is not running for reelection. Orsborn resigned April 2. His council term runs until Jan. 1, 2022. At its April 21 meeting, council decided to accept applications from the public to fill the seat. The deadline to apply to the District 6 seat is 5 p.m. May 21.

Annie DeChance, a Buckeye spokeswoman, said applicants should be at least 18 and live in District 6. The boundaries for District 6 are Northern Avenue to Yuma Road, Perryville Road to Miller Road north of I-10, and Perryville to 223rd Avenue south of I-10. Interested candidates must submit a letter of interest and complete an online application at buckeyeaz.gov/government/

Questions may be directed to Lucinda Aja, city clerk, by phone at 623349-6911, through email to laja@ buckeyeaz.gov or by mail to 530 East Monroe Avenue, Buckeye. Applicant interviews will be determined by a sub-committee consisting of three current councilmembers not running for reelection in August.

‘Essential businesses’ remain open in West Valley BY KAITLYN MATTHEWS

West Valley View Contributing Writer

On March 31, Gov. Doug Ducey issued an executive order prohibiting the closures of essential services during the stay-at-home order. Among the essential services, grocery stores, pharmacies and the foodservice industry are being hit with crowds of people. However, essential services such as pawn shops, laundry services and infrastructure operations like plumbing and electrical, are experiencing setbacks. At Village Laundry, a laundromat and shipping business in Goodyear, owner Bobby Bolton said he has been following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for his business and is making sure his customers are as well.

“I have signs on the walls and the doors: ‘No more than 10 people inside the laundromat at a time. If there’s more than 10 people, please stay outside and wait for the numbers to come down,’” Bolton said. Bolton said he believes laundry services are an essential business because “people have to have their clothes clean, especially if you’re involved with anybody that has the coronavirus.” Bolton is also taking extreme measures to ensure his facility is clean for customers. “I do have a cleaning crew that comes in every night, seven days a week, and they wash down all the machines,” Bolton added. Dave Rioux, the owner of 1 Buckeye Plumbing, said like many other businesses, he is suffering from the shortage of

customers. In addition, he noted these circumstances are new to his business and the nation. “For small businesses, we still have our contracts that we have to live up to … We still have to pay our fees, so it does affect us and it really hurts,” Rioux said. As the pandemic continues, Rioux plans to reevaluate how he does business and look at areas he can cut, while also bringing good quality service. As an essential business, Rioux is keeping doors open for the residents that need help. “We are all in this together, and we should all be out there helping each other,” Rioux said. Lara Goldfarb, the owner of Glendale Pawn and Jewelry, said the impact of COVID-19 has been minimal so far,

but she expects it to change drastically. At the start of the pandemic, Goldfarb said she experienced a rush of customers looking to purchase firearms and ammunition. But when the stay-athome order was put in place, she saw fewer people coming into the shop. “We are just starting to see a flow of people who need to borrow funds because of job loss,” Goldfarb said. “And that’s the reason why we are staying open normal business hours to help people out.” As the pandemic progresses around Arizona and the nation, Goldfarb is finding ways to enforce social distancing in the store, and other safety precautions. “Our goal is to try and keep everyone healthy and stay open throughout the closure so that we can be essential to the community, and helpful,” Goldfarb said.

Developer asks county for delay on Falcon Golf Course rezoning BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

Responding to neighbors angry about a project that would bring hundreds of trucks to their North Goodyear neighborhood, the developer asked Maricopa County Planning and Zoning commission for a delay until May 14. The commissioners voted April 23 to approve the delay concerning rezoning the Falcon Golf Course. The cities of Goodyear and Litchfield Park also raised concerns about the project. A letter from Litchfield Park City Manager Bill Stephens said 4,000 truck trips per day would “adversely affect our community due to the tremendous amount of truck traffic generated that will travel through our community.” Similarly, a letter to the county from Julie Arendall, Goodyear’s city manager, said, “Goodyear City Council has expressed deep concern with the impacted quality of life for

residents in the adjacent neighborhoods. The proposed 24/7 operation, along with increased volumes of truck traffic on Camelback Road, will have a negative impact on these communities.” Kiernan West, which includes more than two dozen FedEx facilities around the country in its portfolio, plans to develop a “cross dock” transportation facility on the 157-acre property north of Camelback Road and south of Luke Air Force Base. As stated in an April 22 West Valley View story, Romina Martucci generated an online protest against the project that received 2,000 signatures. The concerns apparently made an impact. “We are requesting a continuance to allow for additional time to meet with various stakeholders so that we can better understand raised concerns and ascertain a path forward for the application that addresses stakeholder concerns,” said Jason Morris, a lawyer

representing Kiernan West/KW Projects, in a letter to the county. Whether or not the transportation facility moves forward, Falcon Golf Course is on the back nine and getting ready for its final putt. “It is our intent to shutter the golf club in the coming months,” said Rory Blakemore of Falcon Golf Course owner Cowley Companies. “The decision was made by our ownership group in order to avoid the significant costs and lack of revenues associated with the upcoming summer season,” Blakemore said. “Closure would be permanent.” Kevin Kiernan, owner of Kiernan West,, noted the closure will happen “with or without the property’s sale.” Kiernan said, once the site is developed, “a U.S.-based Fortune 500 corporation” is ready to sign a long-term lease. Kiernan did not disclose the name of the company. “We strongly believe this project will be a significant economic as-

set for Goodyear, Litchfield Park and the entire West Valley,” Kiernan said. “Upon completion, an estimated 400 to 600 people will work at the facility. These are permanent jobs. The average full-time position is expected to pay in excess of $25 per hour. Management roles will earn significantly more. “Upon startup, the facility will generate approximately $22 million in annual payroll.” Construction would bring 450 temporary jobs, he noted. “Development is expected to begin this fall when we will break ground on an approximately 170,000-square-foot cross dock building,” he said. The location is a half-mile north of Camelback Road. He said trucks would drive 2 miles on Camelback Road to the Loop 303. According to Kiernan, the transportation facility would include $2 million in “public infrastructure improvements along Camelback Road between 152nd Avenue and the Loop 303.”

Unsung heroes keep West Valley going BY JACQUELINE ROBLEDO AND KACEY WILSON

West Valley View Contributing Writers

Some people in the West Valley continue to work even as stay-at-home and business closure orders have been imposed in a patchwork across the state. Although Gov. Doug Ducey has urged Arizonans to stay home in response to the nationwide COVID-19 pandemic, there are some with jobs deemed “essential,” including grocery store clerks, delivery drivers and warehouse workers. They are working so communities have access to food and supplies. Many essential workers say they do not mind going to work because the jobs help to support their families. For UPS driver Isaiah Gallegos, a resident of Avondale, being able to pay his bills is not the only thing he worries about. “I do worry, especially when I come home and hug the kids and kiss my wife,” Gallegos said. “I’m wondering what I’m bringing home to them.” Like other essential businesses, UPS has taken measures to ensure the safety

of its employees as well as the recipients of its deliveries, Gallegos said. There is less customer interaction and more sanitization of its postal hubs and delivery trucks. For some, returning to work is a risk each day. Leilani Campas, a bakery assistant manager at a Fry’s Food Store in Peoria, said she is grateful to still have a job and is glad she can feed the store’s customers. Campas said the store takes many preventative measures to keep its workers healthy, but going to work under such circumstances still scares her. “It’s not really a matter of if I’m gonna get it, it’s just when,” Campas said, referring to the coronavirus. Campas said her store has tripled its sales in recent weeks and she often has to calm customers down if they are panicking. “It looks like the end of the world every day at work,” she said. In response to the unusual conditions, Fry’s paid its employees a $300 “appreciation bonus” as well as a “hero compensation” of a $2 hourly wage increase, according to Campas.

Goodyear Planning and Zoning Commission goes online BY CHRISTOPHER DORCH

West Valley View Contributing Writer

The Goodyear Planning and Zoning Commission held its first online meeting April 15. (Goodyear City Council and other meetings also are online only, due to social distancing and meeting size guidelines.) At the meeting, which was live on Facebook, commission members shared video feed from their webcams and used screen sharing to view the presentations. Steve Careccia, a city planner, gave the first presentation, which finalized a new planned area development called Curve at Estrella Commons. The 7-acre development would be located at Estrella Parkway and Roosevelt Street. Christian Williams, a city staff member, showed the commission a proposal regarding the minimum distance between a building’s lot and the front of the building, otherwise known as a setback. In the city of Goodyear, there is a minimum 30foot setback distance, compared to 50 feet in Chandler and 20 feet in Glendale.

Williams suggested that an exception be made to this rule if a store is part of a shopping center that shares its parking lot with other stores. Williams also presented a proposal that would add two new signs to the Goodyear Village Center. The signs would be 18 feet tall and display a list of the businesses in the center, according to the presentation. Along with creating the new signs, the proposal would get rid of the existing sign adjacent to North Litchﬁeld Road. Also, the proposal called for sign changes speciﬁc to the Goodyear Village Center, which boils down to larger signs and allowing the affected businesses to display three full window advertisements instead of partial coverage. According to Joe Walters, who belongs to the ownership group for the Goodyear Dollar Tree and DD’s Discount, the smaller signs were hurting business. All three proposals received unanimous support from the commission members.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

DUFFY’S OPINION — brianduffycartoons.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PC is not grumpy! Editor: This letter is in response to Sara Howell’s comments about PebbleCreek having an “age discrimination problem.” I have lived in PebbleCreek for almost seven years and have never had the problems she said she experienced. First, and most importantly, PebbleCreek is a 55-and-older community. There is a certain amount of under-55 people allowed within the community, but most of the population is, yes, over 55! I don’t know how Sara was ever allowed to rent in PebbleCreek being 37 years old unless it was done “under the table!” Why would she ever want to rent in this community being the age that she is? And Sara knew it was a 55-and-over community prior to moving in. There must have been other circumstances for her “being scolded” for driving 21 mph in a 25 mph zone. Many people will drive that slowly and nothing is said to them. People even drive over the speed limit and do not get scolded unless caught by the patrol. So, the comment seems very jaded to me. As far as her being “aggressively screamed at for walking in an area that I’m not supposed to be walking in,” I would presume that to be the golf course. The person was probably playing golf, was quite a distance from her and yelled loud enough for her to hear and stop walking on the golf course. A 37-year-old, if it was the golf course, should have lived enough to know you never take a walk on a golf course, unless you are playing golf. If everyone did it the fairways would be damaged, etc. Her complaints have nothing to do with her being under 40. She was not following the rules of the community. Even a renter has an obligation to know and follow the community rules. Renting to someone who is 37 is not stopping a house from being foreclosed

upon. Most of the houses in PebbleCreek are paid for. The community has no problem with a person who pays her bills (we all do) or serves the community as an educator (there are many retired educators in the community … myself included). You were not “preyed upon” by people in this community. You were not following the rules. There are some grumpy individuals in the community, but the great majority of people are absolutely delightful! Before you criticize PebbleCreek as a community, get to know some people. You may change your mind. And if you continue to be unhappy in this age-restricted community, maybe you should find a nonage-restricted community to live in. Barb Roberts Goodyear

Review the rules

Editor: This person was called out because of her behavior, not because of her age. There a many published rules and regulations in PebbleCreek that are designed to protect property and public safety. It is every resident’s responsibility to review these and adhere to them. My sense is that the resident was driving well beyond the posted 25 mph speed limit when she was “scolded.” Did she brake quickly and then notice her speed? Was she distracted? Many PebbleCreek residents are in their 70s and 80s and do not have the quick reaction time of someone in their 30s. Also, was she walking along the cart path on one of the golf courses when she was “screamed at?” For everyone’s safety, this is not allowed. This rule is in the HOA guidelines. Warning signs are not necessary or required. This is a golf course, not a carton of cigarettes. My sense is that this resident would be the first to sue the HOA if she were hit by a golf ball. The vast majority of residents of PebbleCreek are here because of the outstand-

ing population of great people from across the United States and Canada. We enjoy each other, our children and grandchildren when they visit us; the many activities provided to us; and living in a safe and vibrant community that is part of Goodyear. We do not “prey on those under 40.” Michael Quinn Goodyear

Don’t be so callous

Editor: I just finished reading Charles Peabody’s letter to the editor in the April 8 issue. What an astoundingly inaccurate piece of nonsense. Factually incorrect and appallingly callous. Contrary to the claptrap on Facebook, COVID-19 is not a cold; it is a serious respiratory illness. According to his letter, a 1% serious illness rate is not a problem because “…most of the remaining 1% are susceptible to just about any medical issue due to their advanced age and preexisting conditions.” That is factually incorrect. It is affecting people of all ages and is responsible for deaths in all age groups and physical conditions, although those with compromised im-

mune systems and underlying disorders are more likely to die. That said, Mr. Peabody seems to think that’s acceptable if we can get people back to work and children back in school. He also said, “Giving a couple thousand people their 87th Christmas is not much comfort to tens of millions of breadwinners who … won’t be able to afford holiday gifts…” Really? He’s worried about Christmas presents more than people’s lives? And this doozy: “Maybe these elderly survivors will read one or two more books before they pass on…” It sounds like he’d support just rounding up all us geezers and sending us to a camp to die and be done with us. It’s time for some real facts, as opposed to the alternative facts being spewed by the right and found on Facebook and other unverifiable social media sites. As of the morning of April 9, the mortality rate among infected people in the United States was about 3.53%. The population of the United States is about 330 million. That extrapolates to about 11.6 million deaths if everyone in the country is exposed to it. Even if we assume Mr. Peabody’s 1% number is correct (which it isn’t) that would still be 3.3 million deaths. I can’t

Arizona has re- camps: ported about 5,500 cases and 231 dead. “What a tremendous waste of time!” The Institute for Health Metrics and These folks are already out protesting Evaluation’s national projection for the the lockdown outside the state Capitol.

The ican deaths and argue that they were de-

prived of their freedom for nothing. Signature quote, offered by a guy in a MAGA cap waving a Don’t Tread On Me flag: “For the same number of dead as a really bad flu season, we let liberal wussies crash the whole freaking economy!” “Social distancing worked!” These optimistic arguers will point to America and Arizona having fallen short of the CDC’s dire death estimates and congratulate themselves for having sheltered in place while using massive stashes of Charmin’ as impromptu end tables. For them, spending two months at home watching Netflix and washing their hands raw ranks as a sacrifice alongside the Greatest Generation sending 16 million soldiers to fight World War II. Signature quote: “I’m going to celebrate with a spa day and some red, white and blue acrylic nails during the best mani-pedi ever!” “Imagine if!” The imagine-ifers will start every argument with that phrase, to detail why all of us have blood on hands. For them, our response to the pandem-

ic, from the White House to the Copper Dome, has been a series of screw-ups that can only be measured by lives lost. “Imagine if people had taken social distancing seriously?” Or: “Imagine if Trump hadn’t been out there lying about testing?” Or: “Imagine if Doug Ducey had closed every business in the state back in February?” Their signature quote: “One life lost is one life too many.” So where do I stand? It’s too early yet, but I believe I will end up in all three camps simultaneously. Our response to COVID-19 has been erratic and marked by some worthless gestures— and many intelligent, noble actions. Social distancing has saved lives, though not as many lives as might have been saved by a more comprehensive, less screwed-up response. I imagine I’ll make the only point that matters: Arguing about COVID-19 is a luxury, because the alternative is not being alive to argue.

imagine any civilized society finding this acceptable for any reason, much less trading those lives for money. Remember, economies recover, but dead people don’t. Now some questions for Mr. Peabody and others who share his misguided opinions on this: Which elderly people in your family are you OK with dying for your convenience? What age would you arbitrarily establish as becoming officially expendable to the greater needs of the younger generation? How old are you and when will you be ready to consider yourself obsolete and redundant and make the sacrifice for the younger generation to make some money? Lastly, his letter stated: “Indeed COVID-19 itself is not virulent enough to have a lasting physical impact on our society.” That’s not being an optimist; that’s sticking your head in the sand. Jude Clark Buckeye

Today we are not one, not just because we disagree in political opinion, but because we disagree on the cause and purpose of America; this is beyond disheartening. Hatred and self-loathing have since permeated our ranks in a most disagreeable manner. Hatred is corrosive, it clouds sound judgment, and prohibits one’s ability to be objective and rational because it is emotionally driven. Now, at this unprecedented time of pandemic displacement and uncertainty, it is refreshing that recent polls indicate a majority of Americans approve of the president’s efforts to address COVID-19 and economic issues since we all want America to succeed. There are some who seemingly do not want America to succeed. Rather than help and support, they impede and scorn, clearly driven by ugly hatred which blinds their eyes to fact, logic, liberty, free enterprise and patriotism. These hate-filled and ignorant comments are largely directed toward the president and his supporters. Supreme court justices have been threatened. The president is now being accused of crimes against humanity and second-degree murder, Alec Baldwin going so far as to say,

“If you vote for Trump again you are mentally ill.” Really? Can you imagine the backlash if a conservative had made such outlandish statements? How on Earth are we supposed to take the extreme left seriously? The ongoing leftist effort to overturn the 2016 election has morphed from ridiculous, to shameless unabashed absurdity, to the surreal because of personal hatred; if this president discovered a cure for cancer the left would villainize him and call for an inquiry. Friends, to disagree is American. But to hate, or support those that hate, is neither constructive nor respectable. Jason Russell Goodyear

Scary philosophy

Editor: Mr. Peabody carefully avoids the words “death panel,” but what other social func-

tion would fulfill his fantasy of “considering” the “hypothetical benefits of giving aged and sickly people a slight life extension” versus more “comfort to … breadwinners”? He even tosses off the suggested age of 86 as the right age to sacrifice oneself to “the economy.” Well, that hits a little close to home for this family. Mr. Peabody’s factual errors speak for themselves, but his philosophy should terrify his neighbors. I hope he keeps his death wishes away from our loved ones. Jason Bentley Litchfield Park

We are not one

Editor: I love my country. I love the patriotic strains of the popular hymns “America the Beautiful” and others. I love the sense of unity assumed within the designation of American. When my kids were young, they asked me why I repeatedly viewed old WWII documentaries. “Do you enjoy human suffering, dad?” I replied no, but that I did enjoy the sense of unity among Americans at that time of stress and conflict. We were one.

Things seem to be inching closer to a “return to normalcy,” with Gov. Doug Ducey lifting restrictions on elective surgery as of Friday, May 1.

Delivery companies ramping up to help during social distancing BY RYLEEANN BUSS

West Valley View Contributing Writer

Enjoying a night in and having dinner delivered is the new normal as more West Valley residents are finding ways to support and enjoy their local restaurants while helping to take part in social distancing. In light of local government emergency declarations, restaurants are closed for the dine-in experience but encouraged to provide carryout, takeout, curbside pickup and, in many cases, delivery. A variety of delivery services are available to help make the transition from dine-out to stay-in a little smoother. Some of the biggest are Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash and Postmates. Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash and Postmates deliveries can be ordered through downloading their apps or through their online websites. Some are helping the community in other ways. “We’ve committed to providing free meals on Uber Eats to first responders and health care workers around the

world. To date, we’ve provided over $700,000 worth of free meals on Uber Eats to frontline health care workers and first responders across the state of Arizona,” said Sarah Abboud, an Uber spokeswoman. To ensure Uber Eats customers and drivers are able to limit person-to-person contact, there is an option to choose how customers prefer orders to be delivered, including selecting “Leave at door” during checkout, according to its website. Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub and Postmates have all temporarily waived many of their delivery fees to help customers and local businesses alike. “Because we know our small businesses have an urgent need, we waived delivery fees on all Uber Eats orders to independent restaurants to help demand and keep orders coming in to local favorites,” Abboud said. “In recent pilots, restaurants have seen lifts in delivery orders to more than 45% from free delivery promos.” This has helped to increase deliveries

as more residents begin adjusting to living and working from home. Grubhub founder and CEO Matt Maloney said in a statement released March 13 that waiving delivery fees was not a difficult decision for the company. “Independent restaurants are the lifeblood of our cities and feed our communities. They have been amazing long-term partners for us, and we wanted to help them in their time of need. Our business is their business—so this was an easy decision for us to make,” Maloney said. Grubhub is taking extra precautions for drivers in addition to adding a contact-free delivery option. Some of the restaurants offering delivery in Litchfield Park include: • Oregano’s delivers through DoorDash; check its website for weekly updates on new deals. • Purple Elephant Cakes delivers through Uber Eats and Postmates. • Lucky Buddha delivers through Grubhub. Some of the restaurants offering delivery in Avondale are:

• Smashburger in Avondale is open for takeout and delivery and posts weekly specials and deals on social media. • Colados Coffee & Crepes is offering takeout and delivery with no added delivery fee. • Gyros and More is offering delivery through Uber Eats, DoorDash, Postmates and Grubhub. Some of the restaurants offering deliver in Goodyear include: • Taco Redempcion delivers through Grubhub and Postmates and offers deals for Taco Tuesdays. • Bella Luna Ristorante delivers through Grubhub. • En Route Coffee and Tea House delivers through Postmates. Some of the restaurants offering delivery in Buckeye include: • Wild West Cowboy Steakhouse is delivered through DoorDash. • Rancheros Rodeo Restaurant delivers through Postmates and DoorDash and offers Taco Tuesday specials. • PT Pho Express delivers through DoorDash.

While hiking the White Tank or Estrella Mountain trail, you see something dark, coiled up in the shade. Or, while you relax on a lawn chair in your backyard, you hear an unmistakable rattle. “Right now, rattlesnakes are very active,” said Brad Hoffman, owner of Arizona Wildlife Control in Buckeye. In Arizona, March through November is considered rattlesnake season. During these months, Western diamondback rattlesnakes emerge. “April is typically when the most rattlesnake bites are reported in Arizona. So far, there have been 39 bites reported in 2020 to the Arizona Poison and Drug Information Center, 19 of those in April,” according to an April 23 release from the Arizona Fish and Game Department. Hoffman, Daniel Marchand, executive curator for the Phoenix Herpetological Society, and Kevin Newman, owner of Arizona Snake Removal in Glendale, agree rattlesnakes should be treated with extreme caution. This time of the year, Arizona deserts are loaded with blooming wildflowers. And, since COVID-19 restrictions,

more people are on the trails. Maricopa County hiking trails are prime locations for rattlesnakes. “If you can, stay on a manicured trail and stay in the middle of the trail,” Hoffman said. “Those shaded areas are where a rattlesnake is going to be hiding.” If you go for a hike and you see a rattlesnake, take one big step backward, stay calm and steer clear of it, Hoffman said. He said hikers should not be afraid of rattlesnakes but every hiker should respect them. “We live in the desert, and it is full of rattlesnakes,” Hoffman said.

Rattlesnake proofing your home Marchand said uncut lawns and piled-up boxes make ideal rattlesnake hiding spots. He said routine landscaping and straightening up the exterior of your house could minimize your chance of a rattlesnake home invasion. “Keeping your yard well maintained is not only trimming trees and plants but removing unnecessary items piled up in the corner or against a wall,” Marchand said. He said installing snake fencing is a method that could help keep kids and pets safe. And installing adequate out-

door lighting could make the difference between a rattlesnake trespassing or moving on. Marchand said keeping gates closed, removing unconsumed pet food and adding door sweeps can help reduce the chance of a rattlesnake slithering into your domain. “Doing things like that could stop rattlesnakes from entering our yards and our homes,” said Marchand. Newman noted rattlesnakes have quite a benefit. “Rattlesnakes consume rats that could carry hantavirus or a host of other diseases,” Newman said. “The Arizona rodent population would explode without rattlesnakes.” Newman said rattlesnake fear is not uncommon, but “rattlesnake anxiety” is generally unwarranted.

“Rattlesnakes are more afraid of you than you are of them. They just want to get into the shade. Rattlesnakes are peaceful animals that should be cherished,” Newman said.

Stay calm, act fast If you are bitten by a rattlesnake, call 911 as fast as possible. Follow the instructions of medical health experts. If you must drive, call someone to alert them about the specific direction you are traveling. “It is critical that a rattlesnake bite victim get a dose of antivenom as soon as possible,” Newman said. Experts recommend those who see a rattlesnake in or around the house should contact a rattlesnake removal professional, who will capture and relocate the rattler to a safe place.

SUDOKU TIME

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

DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK H H H

H Moderate HH Challenging HHH HOO BOY!

EVEN EXCHANGE

by Donna Pettman

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

DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK H

H Moderate HH Challenging HHH HOO BOY!

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

SCRAMBLERS Unscramble the letters within each rectangle to form four ordinary words.

Then rearrange the boxed letters to form the mystery word, which will complete the gag!
