Taking care of those in trouble comes naturally to Goodyear fire engineer/ paramedic Gilbert Aguirre. But two years ago, the tables were turned. In June 2015, Aguirre was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia and battled for his life. CML, also known as chronic myelogenous leukemia, starts in the blood-forming cells of the bone marrow and invades the blood. Only about 10 percent of leukemias are CML, according to the American Cancer Society. His tenacity and ability to overcome challenges were tested, but through the support of his family, he emerged cancer-free. Now back on a Goodyear fire truck, Aguirre was honored for his hard work by the Arizona Elks Association, which named him the Firefighter of the Year during its state Firefighter Gilbert Aguirre suits up.

Avondale, Goodyear recycling funds imperiled by China ban

By Rick Barrs

Described as a “wake-up call” to the United States, the Republic of China’s decision to cease serving as a garbage dump for the world is imperiling Valley municipal recycling revenue, including that generated by Avondale and Goodyear. Declared “National Sword” by Chinese President Xi Jinping, China’s drastic change to its recycling policy is aimed at stopping the ﬂow of “foreign garbage” into the country. Under the new edict, China will accept only recyclable bales with contaminant levels of 0.5 percent or better – a standard that American cities never come close to achieving. The national average for U.S. recyclables contaminants is 25 percent – and the levels in Valley cities, like Avondale and Goodyear, aren’t much different. Cindy Blackmore, Avondale’s public works director, said the city’s contaminant level has run from 15 to 20 percent. In Goodyear, the recyclables contamination rate has been as low as 17 percent and as high as 30 percent, said Sherine Zaya, the city’s spokeswoman. At Phoenix recycling stations, the contaminant rate has averaged 25 percent, and rates in the cities of Chandler, Mesa and Gilbert have been 11 percent, 13 percent and from 15 to 20 percent respectively, according to recycling managers. “The revenue source for recyclables has been so volatile,” Blackmore said. “But the China decision has had the biggest impact. We’re just hoping the market turns around.” Avondale made $87,800 from recyclables in ﬁscal year 2017, Blackmore said, and projects it will get just $41,000 this

ISM Raceway named IMPACT Award recipient By West Valley View staff

ISM Raceway was dubbed one of eight local companies to receive an IMPACT Award at the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce (GPCC) 31st annual IMPACT Awards. The IMPACT Awards honor the accomplishments of small and large Valley businesses and the positive influence they have on the community and economy. “Giving back to the community has always been important to our organization, and to be recognized by the Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce for our support of the community is humbling for ISM Raceway and much appreciated,” said track president Bryan R. Sperber. For more than 50 years, ISM Raceway has been a staple of the

Arizona sports scene. With the $178 million ISM Raceway Project Powered by DC Solar that will be completed for the November Can-Am 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series weekend, the track is becoming one of the premier sports venues in the country, Sperber said. “This year’s IMPACT Award recipients are truly reflective of the strong leadership, expanding innovation and dedication to the community that the Greater Phoenix business community is proud to be known for,” said Todd Sanders, Greater Phoenix Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. “These organizations will continue to serve as role models for our community and drive the growth

of the Greater Phoenix region for years to come.” For more than 30 years, the Greater Phoenix Chamber has honored and recognized the best in Valley businesses. The Greater Phoenix Chamber celebrates the accomplishments of businesses and the impact they make on the Greater Phoenix business community. GPCC highlights companies with a strong footprint in the Valley that are deserving of special recognition. The other IMPACT Award recipients are: Large Business Category (More than 250 employees): • 2018 Arizona Advocate – Arizona Public Service (APS)

• 2018 Community Champion – Salt River Project (SRP) • 2018 Economic Driver – Phoenix Suns • 2018 Exceptional Innovator – Phoenix Children’s Hospital Small to Medium Business Category (250 employees or fewer): • 2018 Arizona Advocate – ISM Raceway • 2018 Community Champion – Delta Dental of Arizona • 2018 Economic Driver – Plaza Companies • 2018 Exceptional Innovator – Equality Health For more information, visit phoenixchamber.com/impact.

Firefighter...continued from page 1

His battle with leukemia was compounded by repeated denials for worker’s compensation. The type of cancer he had is listed in state statutes as a presumptive cancer, meaning if a firefighter contracts it, it is assumed it was a result of on-the-job exposure. However, insurance companies refused to pay for his medication, which costs

$12,000 per month. “Synthetic material in buildings, when they burn, they release toxins and carcinogens,” Aguirre said. “Our gear is meant to protect us from the heat, but it doesn’t protect us from those carcinogens. Those still come through and absorb through the skin. When we take our gear off, we’re covered in soot and it stays in us. “Sometimes I’ll blow my nose afterward and there’s black soot coming out. The skin is the largest organ in our body. With the repeated exposure to the toxins, that’s how the cancer develops. It’s a big topic in the fire service.” Aguirre added 70 percent of firefighters will get cancer and, out of those folks, 40 percent will get a second cancer if they stay in the fire service. “Those numbers are alarming and scary,” he said. During the last year, he partnered with other Arizona firefighters to lobby for legislative changes to the firefighter cancer laws. He has spoken to groups of firefighters, fire chiefs, civil leaders and the state house floor, telling his story and pleading for change. He pushed to add other diseases. Also, the law stated the burden of proof fell on the claimant. Thanks to Aguirre’s work, worker’s compensation must prove that it wasn’t from the claimant’s line of work. “Before, we had to state which chemical and which fire caused the illness,” he said. “When you’re sick and you’re going through stuff, the last thing you want to do is come up with the last 15 years of fires you’ve been on. It was very time-consuming and

very stressful. The new bill changes the language. We also added cardiac disease to the presumptive list.” Battalion Chief Nick Lyons submitted the nomination for the award. “This (rallying for firefighters) isn’t an easy task for someone who just wants to do his job and stay out of the spotlight,” Lyons said. “But his resilience paid off once again when a comprehensive bill was passed recently expanding the cancer and cardiac coverage for firefighters across the state.” Lyons said Aguirre’s work isn’t done. The International Association of Firefighters reports cancer is the leading cause of death among firefighters. Aguirre is leading the way in department changes to reduce or eliminate exposure to toxic chemicals by developing new procedures, station design and awareness. “He has championed ways we, as a service, can be proactive at cancer prevention. This has led to many initiatives in the Goodyear Fire Department,” Lyons said. For example, fire and EMS crews use fire wipes to remove soot from their bodies. Each employee has two sets of gear, and special washing machines were purchased for the clothing. “With all of these different measures, we’re hoping to limit our exposure to those carcinogens,” Aguirre said. “I’ve been a big part of getting that developed.” Lyons agreed. “Gilbert has not only taken on cancer and won; he is taking steps to eradicate it from the fire service.”

still cancer-free in July, his doctor is recommending he stop the medication. “He said we can try to stop the medication and be a part of a study that’s trying to prove there’s a cure for it,” said Aguirre, 38. “He said it was up to me. My response was, ‘Absolutely. Let’s do it.’”

PebbleCreek nonprofit wins water heater upgrade By Carrie Snider

When Brandon Williams of Anthony’s Plumbing held a contest offering a hot water heater to whoever had the oldest one in the area, he had no idea what to expect. Most hot water heaters tend to last around 10 years, but as Williams found out, there was one in PebbleCreek that was much older – 23 years. It was within a house operating as a nonprofit called Kare Bears that helps seniors with medical needs in PebbleCreek. Because the building was used as an office, the water usage was less than a family home. “It was one of those meant-tobe things,” said Williams, whose company was named for his son, who is now an employee. Williams founded the company in 2001. A typical new hot water heater plus installation can cost around $1,400, and while Kare Bears’ hot water heater was technically still functioning, it was only a matter of time before it needed an upgrade. “We all take our hot water heater for granted,” Williams said. “With the

contest, I wanted people to look at theirs to see how old it was and if there were any visual warnings that it was going bad. If you can plan for a replacement, it gives you the opportunity to decide what you want.” Kare Bears organizers were unaware they won the contest because the person who entered it wasn’t in leadership anymore and wasn’t able to be reached by Anthony’s Plumbing. So, when Gladys Mabey, second vice president of Kare Bears, called Anthony’s Plumbing to fix the garbage disposal at the Kare Bears house, she learned they’d also be getting a new hot water heater. Mabey explained Kare Bears is a real neighbor-helping-neighbor group. “A lot of times when our neighbors have a medical issue, it’s a temporary thing,” Mabey said. They have wheelchairs, walkers and other items to help people, but driving people around is also a big part of what they do. “Transportation is a big deal. We have quite a few people who can’t

drive anymore,” she said. “Our volunteer drivers give so much time.” In the process, however, neighbors are getting to know each other and creating a real sense of community. Teri Sellers, president of Kare Bears, added it’s a unique group. “It takes a lot of work to do what we do,” Sellers said. “We couldn’t do it without the generous donations and time of our volunteers.” Kare Bears operates through donations of money and items. The builder offered the use of the home, Erick Munoz, left, and Anthony Williams install the new hot water heater. but the nonprofit takes care of a portion of the upkeep.

Recycling...continued from page 1 fiscal year, ending June 30. As for Goodyear, because of its longstanding contract with giant Waste Management – which handles recyclables and trash collection for the city – it hasn’t lost revenue from the China mandate so far, said Utilities Operations Manager Barbara Chappell. It received a $250,883 “cost-avoidance” fee from Waste Manaagement for its recyclables last fiscal year and is on a pace to get at least that much this fiscal year. This means that Goodyear would’ve paid Waste Management that amount extra for handling its refuse business if not for the recyclables from city bins. But Goodyear fears the worst once its contract expires July 30, Chappell said. “It could get bad,” she said. Based on China’s mandate, “The fear is that things could change in a big way.” As for the decision by the Chinese, Frank Flores, Gilbert’s environmental services manager said, “I don’t fault them for doing what they’re doing,” because the United States has needed to clean up its recyclables for a long time.

“But I hate them for doing what they’re doing,” he said, because China bought tainted U.S. recyclables for 20 years before suddenly pulling the plug early this year. What this means is that too many improper or contaminated recyclables – plastic grocery bags, diapers, paper towels, tomato sauce-crusted cans, greasy pizza boxes – were getting mixed into bales headed for China and winding up in the massively populated country’s landfills. The reality is that because U.S. cities can’t dispose of contaminated material in China, it’s getting dumped in landfills here, which flies in the face of Phoenix’s goal of using recycling to divert 40 percent of its garbage from its landfills by 2020. China was experiencing a building boom and needed recyclables to be converted into products for its infrastructure. But its construction sizzle cooled in the last few years, and the country started caring deeply that U.S. and European recycling was filling up its landfills. At the zenith of China’s recyclables-buying frenzy, it was receiving half of America’s recyclables exports –

most of them from the western United States. Municipal governments sold their recyclables to material-recovery facilities, which in turn sold most of the material to China. The process still works the same, except that what the recovery facilities compensate municipalities is plunging dramatically because the China market has largely evaporated. In some cases, it’s gotten so bad that cities suddenly are paying the facilities to handle and dispose of their recyclables. For instance, Chandler received $543,075 for its 19,500 tons of recyclables last year at $25.50 a ton. It expects

to get some compensation from material-recovery facility United Fibers this year for the sale of its goods but nonetheless projects a giant loss. Because of China’s new policy, the Chandler City Council – at the behest of United Fibers – enacted a March 22 resolution canceling the city’s agreement with its recycling facility. The council instead agreed to pay the company $61 a ton to handle the recyclables. “We won’t get the $543,000 this year,” and the projection is that instead “we will pay $450,000” to United Fi-

RULES MAY VARY, BUT SOME RECYCLING PRINCIPLES ARE THE SAME Though recycling rules vary from city to city – check your municipality’s website for details – some common dos and don’ts govern. The first rule: Material must be empty, clean and dry. Plastics: DO recycle detergent bottles, soda bottles, shampoo bottles and yogurt, margarine or sour-cream tubs. DON’T recycle plastic grocery bags, dinnerware, frozen-dinner trays or pool-chemical containers. Glass: DO recycle food and beverage jars and bottles. DON’T recycle glassware, drinking glasses, ceramics, light bulbs, window glass or mirrors. Paper: DO recycle newspapers, magazines, junk mail, writing, computer and

construction paper, paper bags, shredded paper and file folders. DON’T recycle facial or toilet tissue, diapers, paper towels, napkins or pet-food bags. Cardboard/paperboard: DO recycle dry food boxes, including cereal boxes, shoeboxes, packing boxes, egg cartons, tissue boxes and cake-mix and cracker boxes (remove liners). DON’T recycle greasy boxes or other soiled containers. Metal: DO recycle aluminum beverage cans, dinner trays, food containers and foil, tin cans, empty aerosol cans and metal lids. DON’T recycle clothes hangers, paint cans, pesticide cans or hazardousmaterials containers.

Recycling...continued from page 8 bers for separating and selling or disposing of the city’s recyclables,” said Traci Conaway, Chandler’s recycling director. That would be a negative financial impact to the city of $943,000 this year over last. “I don’t want to say we’re scared,” Conaway said. “But it’s concerning.”

Industry in turmoil

Flores said Gilbert had anticipated receiving $375,000 from the sale of recyclables for this fiscal year, but because of China’s new demand, it now projects it will get just 10 percent of that, or $37,500. It’s a “huge loss,” he said. It hasn’t been as severe for Mesa, according to Mariano Reyes, communications specialist for the Department of Environmental Management and Sustainability. He said Mesa took in $819,301 for its recyclables last fiscal year and projects it will receive $600,000 this fiscal year – about a 26 percent decline. Reyes said the recycling industry has been in turmoil since the China decision: “We don’t know what the future is going to hold.” In vastly larger Phoenix, China’s ban has cut the city’s recycling revenue from roughly $500,000 a month in early 2017 to between $100,000 and $150,000 a month early this year, according to a presentation by Assistant Public Works Director Joe Giudice to a City Council subcommittee. Giudice called this a “trend line” based on a “small sample size,” and in an interview, offered a different measure of the situation. When the city compared the last quarter of 2015 with the last quarter of 2017, he said, it noted a 34 percent decline in Phoenix’s recycling revenue. That was before President Xi’s new policy kicked off early this year. To be sure, recyclables commodities markets were slammed last year by Xi’s July announcement, but experts fear it will only get worse now that the ban is in effect. Giudice said ships loaded with recyclables have been turned away from Chinese ports because the 0.5 measure apparently wasn’t met. Like Avondale’s Blackmore, other Valley municipal recycling managers stressed that the recycling commodities market historically has been prone to fluctuation. Trying to predict how such commod-

ities will go is “like trying to predict the stock market,” Chandler’s Conaway said. But the China decision is hitting Valley cities hard, although the managers believe that other significant markets for American recyclables eventually will be discovered both here and abroad. Already, markets for certain U.S. recyclables have emerged in India, Indonesia and Malaysia. And there’s hope among the Valley managers that more U.S. companies will crop up to help fill the void left by China – which paid so much for American recyclables for so long that it muscled out smaller competition. As for China, some of the managers said they’ve heard rumblings in the industry that the nation is considering relaxing its 0.5 rule. And some recycling business continues to be done with China. Unlike the other cities surveyed, Phoenix operates its own municipal recycling facilities, which it pays Republic Services to manage. Giudice said Republic continues to have a contract with a Chinese business to provide a “newsmix” of newsprint and other paper from Phoenix. But he stressed that the U.S. never should have relied so heavily on China as the dominant market for its recyclables. He labeled Xi’s decision a “wakeup call” to diversify.

Tainted recyclables hit landfills

Whatever markets are found or restored for U.S. recyclables, the consensus among Valley managers is that their products must be far less contaminated from the get-go. “It’s important to have the best recyclables possible,” Avondale’s Blackmore said. “We’re always working to educate the public to put only proper recyclables in bins.” Much of what United Fibers was CARPET • HARDWOOD • TILE & STONE LAMINATE • VINYL

sending to China now is going into local landfills,” said CEO Ron Whaley, who believes cities eventually can get their recyclables inventories to 0.5 percent so they can be sold again to the Chinese. Whaley said United Fibers, which has contracts with West Valley cities, is installing equipment over the next few years that will make it possible to better separate contaminates from city recyclables loads so that shipments can meet China’s specifications. This will hugely reduce the recyclables going to landfills, he said, and make more money for recycling facilities and cities. At the same time, he said, it will give cities more money for public education aimed at achieving the 0.5 mark. “China can’t be replaced,” Whaley said. “I hear talk from people (in the recycling business) that China will relax the 0.5, but I don’t believe that.” As Avondale’s Blackmore alluded, it’s a constant struggle for cities to educate consumers on what’s proper to put in those blue recycling cans – and what’s not. Conaway reported that Chandler trash and recycling collectors have found strange material in recycling cans, including an automobile manifold. 17OPA018 WVV TEACHER EMPLOYMENT 052218 A goat carcass is the most bizarre

‘Wishful recycling’ must stop

Mesa’s Reyes called this behavior “wishful recycling.” “Plastic grocery bags can be recycled by taking them back to the store, but they cannot be put in recycling bins” because they “gum up the machines” that facilities employ to process materials, Reyes said. Phoenix’s Giudice said one of the worst problems recycling departments face is many residents’ failure to put “valuable” aluminum in recycling bins – or their tendency to put aluminum cans into plastic bags, which ensures that they go directly to landfills. Gilbert’s Flores isn’t optimistic that U.S. cities ever can reduce the contamination levels of recyclables down to China’s near-pure level but said they must keep trying to clean up their acts. The U.S. has been “living on borrowed time” with its highly contaminated recycling, Flores said, adding, PRINTER.pdf PM “We must 1do 5/24/18 the right1:14 thing.”

MARGULIES' OPINION — www.jimmymargulies.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

One more time Editor: My recent letter was misinterpreted based, once again, along party lines. First, I am not a Democrat. I am also not a Republican. The two parties emphasize the scientific fact that humans are divided equally into two different groups. Psychologists call the two ways we have of thinking contextualists and absolutists. Absolutists prefer a strong group unity (patriotism, religion) with clear leaders, appreciate strict and forceful punishment systems, distrust human nature and outsiders, and are not distressed by inequality. Contextualists are empathetic and tolerant of others, who consider the context before punishing. Scientists who study brain activity call them blue brains and red brains, or right brain/left brain. When scientists ask the same questions to conservatives and liberals, different parts of the brain light up. The two parts represent two different ways of solving problems which, in turn, will lead to different conclusions. Christianity divides the two between the Old Testament and the New Testament. God, the Father, has strict rules (The Ten Commandments). When the rules are broken, strict punishments are applied: killing the first born in every family, plagues, flooding the Earth. The Son of God’s view on health care: “The Good Samaritan,” view on gun control: “Turn the Other Cheek,” prejudices, sexual orientation: “Those without Sin Throw the First Stone.” Those who study evolution (survival of the fittest) propose that the two ways of thinking, working together, constitute our best chance of survival. The key here is working together. How do we get the two parties to work together (the pass/fail party) in the next election? If you are unhappy with your state or federal government, vote your party line, but no incumbents? We will not all get what we want, but we will move forward. Art Boyle Buckeye

Just sounding off Editor: I have lived in the West Valley for

six years and have been a regular on several Facebook pages since 2013, including my own. Full disclosure, I am a strong fiscal constitutional conservative and Christian for over 40 years. On most of the pages, I have some friends, and some not-so-friendly folks who do not much care for my opinions, which is fine with me. I do not use bad language, and try to tell the truth, which is not always easy when passing information from others. I take issue with haters, Trump haters and school teachers and administrators who use political thugs to do their bidding, and anti-free speech administrators of Facebook pages! Several years ago, I was tossed off a page for calling out anti-free speech. Over the last several weeks I have been tossed off three other pages, all in the West Valley. One page is extremely foul-mouthed and riddled with hate. Some women on this page would fit right in with MS13 gang members, and some men tried to do what they call “out" me. LOL. None of the tactics, including name calling, and attacking my religion and my political positions, worked, as they could not prove me wrong on the facts. So, the anti-free speech, anti-Arizona and U.S. Constitution liberal moderators just toss me off because they don’t agree with my opinions! I think they just don’t agree with Christians or conservatives! I believe they consider themselves to be little Mark Zuckerbergs. As a courtesy to many friends who support me, I will not name the pages for their protection. But I have no problem telling people I know in person. I believe a lot of this has to do with my opinions on the #REDforED illegal strike, put together by liberal unions who have no power in Arizona, for political reasons? I expected more out of the moderators in the West Valley. Elwood Kuentzler Goodyear

Luke AFB should be proud Editor: Many of us in the West Valley are used to the F-16 and F-35s flying in the skies over our communities and they have become such a part of our lives that we often forget they are used

in real battles. I was reminded of that recently when our ally Israel deployed the F-35 on two successful combat missions in the Middle East. It’s likely that the pilots who flew those missions were trained at Luke Air Force Base. It’s a big step forward for the F-35 as a tool for air defense, and it’s an even bigger point of pride for Luke Air Force Base and the tireless work they do to ensure the safety and security of the pilots who train out here. R.J. McKintyre Goodyear

Buckeye police chief deserves credit – not ‘slams’ Editor: My family and I moved to Buckeye just over a year ago from Northern California. Having spent 30 years in law enforcement, public safety and crime issues are important to me and my family. When I saw that the Buckeye chief was trying to obtain valuable “crisis intervention training” for his personnel, I reached out to him because of my personal training and experience in that area. Chief Hall was open and receptive, and we have met on numerous occasions since then. I was impressed with his vision for the department, his commitment to the community, and his style of leadership. My observations led me to become a citizen volunteer with Buckeye PD, and everything I’ve experienced thus far confirms my belief that Chief Hall is a

top-notch administrator who takes on the tough issues and puts community first. Please don’t believe the media hype or the allegations of “anonymous sources” whose sole purpose is department undermining and character assassination. At minimum, consider the possibility those claims are exaggerated and taken out of context from the facts. In my opinion – and from others who work with Chief Hall – he is a caring dedicated professional who this community can be truly proud of. We should all have his back and be thankful for his leadership, which has brought high standards and hardearned certifications to a growing department. His efforts have made our community a safe place to live. My family and I have never felt safer or better served. Dan Kupsky Buckeye

What I wish I had known when I graduated

By David Leibowitz Talk of high school graduations fills the air for days and the chatter takes me back in time, to 1983 and my own footsteps across a south Florida stage. Somewhere, there exists a picture of me receiving my high school diploma, but I haven’t seen the image for years. What do I recall? Only the startled expression on my face. The look makes sense now. Because that 18-year-old clutching the empty diploma cover – they mailed us the real thing later – did not know what he does now, despite his four-point-something grade point average. Nor did all the book learning and fancy graduation speeches prepare me for what should have been the single greatest lesson dispensed across 12 years of public education. Life is hard. I paid attention in high school, at least when I wasn’t cracking wise, falling in and out of love, and partaking in the occasional prank. I did well enough to merit scholarships to college, and yet I never learned that simple lesson – life is hard – until years later.

Perhaps it's because I am notoriously success is just showing up.” slow on the uptake, as my kin and That’s ridiculous. Showing up is the friends will testify.

Lesko hopes to connect with constituents By Rep. Debbie Lesko

On May 7, 2018, I was sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives to serve as the congresswoman from Arizona’s 8th Congressional District. I am honored to serve as your congresswoman and I thank the voters for putting their faith and trust in me. I promise that I will work hard every day for all my constituents in the West and North Valley. Since my swearing in, I have hit the ground running. Unlike my fellow congressmen, I did not have the luxury of having several months to hire staff and set up offices and I was not given weeks of orientation. Instead, in one week, I have set up two offices, hired key staff and found a place to live. I am ready to serve. My top priority has and always will be to serve my constituents. I plan to support efforts and legislation to secure the border, support our schools and teachers, strengthen our military, protect Luke Air Force Base, preserve

the future of Social Security and Medicare, and hold to the freedoms and liberties that make this nation great. I was appointed to the House Committees on Homeland Security and Science, Space and Technology. These two committees will allow me to fight for strong borders, keep the homeland safe and prepare our country for the future of technology. With that in mind, I encourage you to reach out to my district office at 623-776-7911 if you have questions or concerns about federal issues. My district staff will be more than happy to help and assist you. If you are planning a trip to Washingtona, D.C., and would like to arrange a Capitol tour or stop by for a visit, please contact my Washington, D.C. office at 202-225-4576 or visit my website at lesko.house.gov. Rep. Debbie Lesko represents Arizona’s 8th Congressional District.

Pay attention, consider, learn. While the values that constitute your foundation won’t often change, your mind will – and that’s great. After September 11, 2001 – before some of today’s graduates were born – we all thought invading Iraq made sense. Today, 17 years later, not so much. I’ve also changed my mind about how cool it would be to have a cell phone – it’s annoying as hell – and the Star Wars movies, which, like me, also stopped being cool in 1983, right about the time the Jedi returned. We talked a lot about changing the world back then, when graduation was upon us. We believed the world was a thing, a place, something badly in need of changing. We were not completely wrong. But what we hadn’t yet seen, what no speech truly conveyed, was precisely how much the world would change us. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@ leibowitzsolo.com.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MAY 30, 2018

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, readers! It’s good to be back after an extended Memorial Day weekend, and I hope you’re all doing well. But as usual, there’s plenty of business to get to. While it may seem like a slow week from a quick glance, there’s actually quite a bit here – and quite a lot that can help in the networking and informative realm. The Southwest Chamber of Commerce continues the diversity of its events by hosting a multitude of Lunch N Learns over the next month. But ﬁrst? First, I’ll start with something in the plasma collection realm. Well, let’s get on with the news! As I just hinted, BPL Plasma Center has a new donation center in Goodyear. In honor of the new facility, the company will soon celebrate its grand opening. The ribbon-cutting event – produced by the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce – is noon Friday, June 1. This will be a great new opportunity for West Valley residents to donate

plasma – and maybe even save a life! BPL Plasma Center is located at 13550 W. Van Buren Street, Goodyear. It is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday. For more information, call 602-753-4786 or visit bplplasma.com. For more information on the ribbon-cutting ceremony, contact the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce at 623-932-2260 or info@ southwestvalleychamber.org. Moving along to the more eventcentric business news, a host of Lunch N Learns is coming to the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. Get in the Zone and Stay There is scheduled for 11:45 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, May 31. John Maxwell Certiﬁed Team Member Yanick Hicks will host the event. Lunch will be provided. Then, from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday, June 5, 5 Ways to Improve Security Before a Breach will be taught by Cedric Dossou of CPR: Cellphone Repair Tolleson. Angel’s Diner, which

is located at 13530 W. Van Buren Street, Suite A-104, in Goodyear, will sponsor lunch for guests. The third one is a bit later in the month, but it is Build Your Business with Better Storytelling from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday, June 25. The Small-Tooth-Dog Publishing Group LLC’s Sean Buvala will present. Lunch begins at 11:30 a.m., while a workshop will begin at noon. All three Lunch N Learn events are free and will be held at the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce at 289 N. Litchﬁeld Road, Goodyear. Because lunch will be provided, it is requested that interested attendees RSVP for Lunch N Learn in advance. For more information, contact the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce at 623-932-2260 or info@ southwestvalleychamber.org. Then, I haven’t checked in on Chamber 101 in a while. For those who don’t keep up with the column, Chamber 101 is a monthly meeting for

members of the local community to show up, network, learn more about the chamber and its benefits and all around get to know one another. Maybe it’ll even spark an interest in becoming a member of the chamber. But if the business positivism isn’t enough to convince you, then maybe this will: Haymaker Restaurant Co. – 1800 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear – will cater lunch for guests. Are you convinced yet? If so, stop by the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce for free at 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, June 7. For more information, contact Danielle Brown at 623-932-2260 or info@southwestvalleychamber.org. That’s all the briefs for this week! Thanks for reading, and stay tuned as more new businesses are covered in the future! Have an item for Business Briefcase?

King Koil celebrates grand opening of Avondale facility By Connor Dziawura Business is booming in the West Valley, and now, King Koil is part of that boom. The mattress manufacturer completed its trek to Avondale, bringing along its first corporate-owned manufacturing facility. “We hope we can expand the economic base here and we’re very thrilled to be part of the Avondale community,” said CEO David Binke during a May 22 ribbon-cutting ceremony. Avondale Councilman Lorenzo Sierra was similarly enthusiastic to welcome the Willowbrook, Illinois-headquartered company, which licenses its products to more than 30 manufacturers in more than 90 countries. “What began 120 years ago with six employees in Minnesota is now one of the world’s leading mattress manufacturers,” Sierra said. “And Avondale is proud to be King Koil’s new home. I cannot tell you how pleased we are to be helping write the next exciting chapter for King Koil as their first fully owned and operated facility becomes operational.” The Avondale facility falls in line with King Koil’s efforts to move its domestic business model from licensing its product to other manufacturers – as it traditionally has – to manufacturing on its own for direct-to-retail distribution. King Koil’s retail partners in the East and Midwest will still be supported via a strategic partnership it formed with Blue Bell Mattress. Aside from manufacturing and shipping capabilities, the 90,000-square-foot facility holds a wealth of office space as well as a 2,500-square-foot showroom for retail partners to view products. “This location is a key component of King Koil’s new direct-to-retail manufacturing strategy and will serve retail partners all across the western United States,” Sierra said. The new facility will serve Arizona, Arkansas, Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. Ken Swinarski, King Koil vice president of creative services, said it was important to plant roots in the West Coast and partner with nearby

businesses. It helps with exposure. “We want to be sure the service, the quality and all the goods are beyond exceptional,” Swinarski said.

Goodyear couple puts faith into love of merch By Connor Dziawura Goodyear-based Jacob’s Well Design began with a simple idea: faith-based and inspirational merchandise. But for the couple who founded the company – Lena and Konrad Dixon – the story began under rather unfortunate circumstances. “My mother passed away from ovarian cancer a couple of years ago,” Lena said. “And, when we were thinking about how can we raise money for ovarian cancer research, one of the things that we thought of was, ‘Oh, well we could design a T-shirt and sell them.’” Being Christians, the couple wanted to project their faith onto their work. “We are Christians, we are a Christian family, and so we thought, ‘Gosh, what a great way to help build the Kingdom and to influence those around us,’” she continued. “And really the Lord just put it on my heart that we should create merchandise that is faith-based.” The online business, which Lena and Konrad run out of their home and sometimes take to farmers markets, includes T-shirts, tote bags and coffee

mugs – all with a religious slant. Even the company’s name traces back to the Bible. “In John 4:6, there is the significance of Jacob’s well, that it provided an opportunity for Jesus to present himself as the Messiah to a Samaritan woman,” she said. “When we were talking about a name for the business and, again, merchandise that is biblically based, we thought, ‘Well, we are our own Jacob’s well. So, we are our own opportunity to present His love and His grace to others through ourselves.” Options are available for adults and children, and the couple will even customize T-shirts with customers’ favorite Bible verses or anything else they’d like. Despite their passion, however, this was their first venture into entrepreneurship and business ownership. So, Dixon attended the free ASU Startup School in January 2017.

on-one mentoring with InnovationHub Manager Darah Mann. “I was looking for the resources to really put my idea to paper and to be able to execute against it,” Lena said. “So it really helped me get organized around that. My husband and I would bounce ideas off each other and we’d say, ‘Yep, this would be a great way to go.’ But going to those classes, it really made me focus on the different aspects and put it to paper so then we could put some goals in place and execute against.” Lena is an organization change management consultant, she said, and she previously worked in the human resources department at the city of Goodyear. “It has nothing to do with T-shirts or anything like that, but I love the design aspect of what we’re being able to do, putting the designs on the T-shirts and stuff,” she said. “And so, I think when you think about my business side where I was doing HR, I was always supporting different employees through changes and things that were going on, so this is completely outside of that.” Moving forward, Lena would like to remain local and generate more exposure in the market, while potentially also working out the logistics of joining more farmers markets. “Our goal is to influence the communities and bring joy and meaning to those around us based on what we’re wearing or what we have with us,” she said.

Events must be open to the public to be considered and generally must be held within the View’s coverage area, which is south of Northern Avenue, west of Loop 101, plus all of Tolleson, extending to Estrella in the south and Tonopah in the west. Events such as concerts and theatrical performances that fall outside the View’s circulation area will be considered because there are no concert halls or theater venues within our boundaries. 9 Days a Week calendar items print on a space-available basis. The only way to guarantee that an item will print is to purchase an advertisement. Submissions must reach our office by 4 p.m. Wednesday to be considered for the following Wednesday publication. Submissions must be in writing and may be emailed to Rachel Hagerman, rhagerman@timespublications.com or faxed to 623-935-2103.

Wigwam Resort recognizes employee’s 40 years of dedication By Carrie Snider

It isn’t often that someone stays with a company for 40 years. But Jay Ozanne is a special case. The stars aligned between Ozanne and The Wigwam. And now that he’s spent 40 years working there, The Wigwam surprised him by naming a meeting room after him. It’s fitting because he’s senior conference manager. “I like that they recognize us,” he said. It all started before Ozanne was born in Nebraska. His mom worked at The Wigwam’s front desk and met his father, an employee at Goodyear Farms and The Wigwam. They married and moved to Nebraska to pursue a football scholarship. The family returned to the area and lived in Goodyear Company housing while his parents again worked at The Wigwam. Eventually they pursued other ventures and moved elsewhere. Still, The Wigwam had a profound effect on the family’s beginnings. In 1978, while in high school, Ozanne was looking for part-time work and landed a job as a dishwasher

at The Wigwam. At the time, he wasn’t looking for a long-term career. “I was looking to put gas in my car,” he said. But one thing led to another. He started working his way up at the resort. He remembers that other long-time employees had interesting memories to share about his parents. “My dad borrowed Mr. Whitwell’s (former general manager) car for his first date with my mom, and he wrecked it.” Ozanne went to Glendale Community College, but admitted that most of his education came from working at The Wigwam. He set up events, then became manager. He was also in charge of bell captains. “I went to ‘Wigwam University,’” he said. All the while, he had his eyes set on his current position, senior conference manager, and after working his way up further he finally made it. But the story doesn’t end there. In 1995, Ozanne met his wife who was working in human resources. Soon after she quit

so that they could date. “I definitely wasn’t going to quit,” he added. That’s because The Wigwam was in his blood, and it always will be. He appreciates that the resort recognizes his hard work, and staff makes a big deal out of anniversaries. So, he figured they’d do something big for Longtime Wigwam employee Jay Ozanne recently had a meeting his 40th anniversary room named after him. (Photo courtesy The Wigwam) earlier this year. “I thought something would happen Ozanne Room in his honor. “It’s very fitting,” said Sarah Boyd, on that day, but they surprised me a social meeting and marketing manager. few days in advance.

Break Free from Neuropathy with a New Supportive Care Cream A patented relief cream stands to help millions of Americans crippled from the side effects of neuropathy by increasing sensation and blood ﬂow wherever it’s applied Raymond Wilson The Associated Heath Press

Diabasens nationwide. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.

AHP − A recent breakthrough stands to help millions of Americans plagued by burning, tingling and numb legs and feet.

Men and women from all over the country are eager to get their hands on the new cream and, according to the results initial users reported, they should be.

But this time it comes in the form of a cream, not a pill, suggesting the medical community may have been going about the problem all wrong.

In the trial above, as compared to baseline, participants taking Diabasens saw a staggering 51% increase sensitivity in just one week. This resulted in signiﬁcant relief from burning, tingling and numbness throughout their legs.

The breakthrough, called Diabasens, is a new relief cream developed for managing the relentless discomfort caused by neuropathy. When applied directly to the legs and feet, it causes arteries and blood vessels to expand, increasing the flow of warm, nutrient rich blood to damaged tissue. However, what’s most remarkable about the cream... and what makes it so brilliant...is that it contains one of the only natural substances known to activate a special sensory pathway right below the surface of the skin. This pathway is called TRAP1 and it controls the sensitivity of nerves. In laymen terms, it determines whether you feel pins and needles or soothing relief. Studies show that symptoms of neuropathy arise when the nerves in your legs deteriorate and blood flow is lost to the areas which surround them. As the nerves begins to die, sensation is lost. This lack of sensation is what causes the feelings of burning, tingling and numbness. This is why the makers of Diabasens say their cream has performed so well in a recent clinical use survey trial. It increases sensation and blood flow where ever its applied.

No Pills, No Prescriptions, No Agony Until now, many doctors have failed to consider a topical cream as an effective way to manage neuropathy. Diabasens is proving it may be the only way going forward. “Most of today’s treatment methods have focused on minimizing discomfort instead of attacking its underlining cause. That’s why millions of adults are still in excruciating pain every single day, and are constantly dealing with side effects” explains Dr. Esber, the creator of Diabasens. “Diabasens is different. Since the most commonly reported symptoms − burning, tingling and numb legs and feet − are caused by lack of sensation of the nerves, we’ve designed the formula increase their sensitivity. And since these nerves are located right below the skin, we’ve chosen to formulate it as a cream.

Study Finds Restoring Sensation the Key To Effective, Long Lasting Relief With the conclusion of their latest human clinical use survey trial, Dr. Esber and his team are now offering

Many participants taking Diabasens described feeling much more balanced and comfortable throughout the day. They also noticed that after applying, there was a pleasant warming sensation that was remarkably soothing.

Diabasens Users Demand More Many of Diabasens users say their legs have never felt better. For the ﬁrst time in years, they are able to walk free from the symptoms which have made life hard. “I have been using the cream now for about ten days. It has given me such relief. I’ve had very bad foot pain from injuries and overuse of my feet for years which have contributed to severe itching/tingling and pain for some time. (My father also suffered from this pain and itching. I wish I would have had this for him.) The ﬁrst time I used the cream, I felt an almost immediate relief from this.

Topical Creams Offer Sufferers a Safer, More Effective Avenue of Relief: Diabasens increases sensation and blood ﬂow wherever its applied. It’s now being used to relieve painful legs and feet.

As these nerves deteriorate, sensation is lost. This is why you may not feel hot or cold and your legs and feet may burn, tingle and go numb. Additionally, without proper blood ﬂow, tissues and cells in these areas begin to die, causing unbearable pain. The cinnamaldehyde in Diabasens is one of the only compounds in existence that can activate TRPA1, a special sensory pathway that runs through your entire body.

I now use it at least twice a day: once in the morning before work and once at night before I sleep.

According to research, activating this pathway (which can only be done with a cream) increases the sensitivity of nerves, relieving feelings of tingling and numbness in your legs and feet.

I am so delighted with this. It has helped my walking, also. It has helped generate feeling again in my feet,” raves Marsha A. from Texas

Supporting ingredients boost blood ﬂow, supplying the nerves with the nutrients they need for increased sensation.

Diabasens is shown to provide relief from: • Burning • Swelling • Tingling • Heaviness • Numbness • Cold extremities

Targets Nerve Damage Right Below the Skins Surface Diabasens is a topical cream that is to be applied to your legs and feet twice a day for the ﬁrst two weeks then once a day after. It does not require a prescription. The active ingredient is a compound known as cinnamaldehyde. Studies show that neuropathy and nerve pain is caused when the peripheral nerves breakdown and blood is unable to circulate into your legs and feet.

Amazing Relief Exactly Where You Need It With daily use, Diabasens users report remarkable improvements in their quality of life without of the negative side effects or interactions associated with prescription drugs. Readers 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.

Tartesso recognized as A+ School of Excellence

By West Valley View staff

After a rigorous application and evaluation process, Tartesso Elementary School in the Saddle Mountain Unified School District was recognized as an A+ School of Excellence by the Arizona Educational Foundation. During a celebratory award presentation assembly, Tartesso principal Liz Burton credited the staff, students and parents for the school’s success. “We are an A+ school because of our great teachers and staff, our awesome students, our supportive parents, and our wonderful community,” Burton said. Each grade level shared a chant describing why their school is an A+ School of Excellence. Saddle Mountain superintendent Dr. Paul Tighe congratulated the Tartesso staff and students, noting how very few schools earn this prestigious award and even fewer earn it the first time they apply. “I am proud to be your superintendent,” Tighe said. “Certainly today, but every day, I am proud when I am here seeing the wonderful things happening and sharing in the great culture of this school.” Governing board members joined in the receiving of a banner from AED executive director Bobbie O’Boyle. “The A+ School of Excellence program celebrates outstanding schools throughout Arizona, calling

attention to the positive stories and successes occurring in public schools,” O’Boyle said. “The application and evaluation process for this program is comprehensive and rigorous. We applaud these schools for exceeding expectations to meet their students’ needs and for achieving overall success despite the many challenges that face the education community statewide.” Applicant schools are evaluated in the areas of student focus and support, school culture, active teaching and learning, curriculum, leadership, community and parent Tartesso Elementary School recently celebrated its A+ School of Excellence prize.

Quentin student council steps up to master council By Connor Dziawura When eighth-grade social studies teacher Marcos Quintana came to Quentin Elementary School in Avondale last year, he noted changes that needed to be made with student council. He and his students’ efforts have paid off, even though Quintana has only been the organization’s sponsor for a year. The group was recently awarded the title of master council at the Arizona Association of Junior High Student Councils’ (AAJHSC) 52nd annual state convention. “When I came in I saw a nonexistent council,” Quintana said. “It was a big joke here, like no one took it seriously. And using my experience I just went ahead and I worked with what I had. A lot of people didn’t join because didn’t they take student council seriously.” Thirty-three councils received the perfect master council status across the state, while four were awarded honor council, which equates to less than a perfect score on the organization’s rubric. Though Quentin Elementary School is new to AAJHSC, Quintana is not. He helped students earn the master council award at other schools. “One thing that I like about this organization is that it sets an expectation,” he said. “They have done the work as far as analyzing a student council and what they do to be effective. And so they kind of set that criteria for all schools that want the

award. I have seen and staff has seen the major turnaround of the student council from being nonexistent to being out there and very active and the students are enjoying it.” One of Quintana’s actions was adding new council positions. Previous officer positions were president, vice president, secretary and treasurer, while Quintana added a publicist, historian and activities director. In the past, student council members were volunteers or teacher suggested. They now hold elections. While many school functions were PTA- or adult-driven, another big part of Quintana’s efforts was getting students more involved. So, student council now hosts assemblies and morning announcements, Quintana said. The school introduced pep assemblies to motivate and recognize athletes and student achievements. Of the many criteria on the AAJHSC rubric, projects compose a large portion. It’s broken into five project categories: leadership, academic achievement, school/community involvement, diversity and school spirit. For the leadership portion, students focused on the pep assemblies as well as participation in student/teacher committee meetings and leadership meetings. The assemblies also qualify as an academic achievement project, as rewarding strong academic achievements was a focus at the assemblies. To benefit their community, student

council members teamed with St. Mary’s Food Drive and Feed My Starving Children. They also held a family movie night and family dance and got involved with the school book fair. For the diversity project, Quentin’s student council presented a workshop about diversity to AAJHSC. And finally, for school spirit, student council took over the Red Ribbon Week and Read Across America spirit weeks. The most challenging part of transitioning to Quentin Elementary, Quintana said, was holding students accountable for being leaders. “We filtered a lot of students out this year and I’m OK with that because it establishes my expectation for the upcoming school years and I’m not playing around,” he said. “I think it starts with our student leaders. If we can’t get them to fall in line, then we can’t get the school where it needs to be. So, we just need those individuals who are willing to step out and step up to the plate and really show what that model behavior needs to look like.” As far as the May 10 state convention, Quintana said it was a positive experience. “All the schools get together. It’s a very formal event,” he explained. “A lot of my students were in shock about the three-course meal that came out. There were some ﬂowers on their plate…it was a really good experience for them.

They got to dress up really nice.” Previously, students attended other events like the AAJHSC State Leadership Conference in November and the 20th annual Student Retreat in February. These events were also included as responsibilities in the AAJHSC rubric, and through these events, students got to meet others from around the state, Quintana said. “It really shows them that networking is important, that they can step out of their comfort zone,” he said. “I made a lot of my students step out of their comfort zone with these activities, and they’ve fussed about it, but eventually they thank me for it and they were very happy that they got to meet these new people that they would have been closed out from.” Though the 2017-18 school year is over, Quintana is already gearing up for a successful fall and spring. He has planned the layout for next year’s activities, incorporating future Master Council requirements. “I think next year they have a fire that’s going to burn, and they’re really going to focus on driving it home and making just a very successful year,” he said.

Buckeye student is Varsity Brands’ top mascot By Adrian Marsh

When it comes to school pride, HollyAnne Hubbard doesn’t horse around. The Youngker High School senior has showcased her school pride for the last four years by transforming its equine mascot and giving it a spunky personality. “It was a lot of work,” Hubbard said. “But it was totally worth it. I always get to put a smile on someone else’s face.” On May 12, she was named Varsity Brands’ “Most Spirited Mascot” and received $3,000 for her Youngker’s mascot program at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida. Varsity Brands gives awards and monetary donations each year based on high school spirit. Among the more than 20 categories are most spirited coach, mascot, principal and yearbook. The grand prize goes to “America’s Most Spirited High School,” according to its website. Hubbard said she wanted to become the mascot at her future freshman night. She was nervous going into high school, but when she met the mascot, she knew she would shine through it. The costume was used to punish cheerleaders, but she thought it had more potential. Hubbard gave the gender-neutral horse a feminine makeover, sporting a giant bow and tutu with the school’s colors: black, green and white. She then livened up the mascot with an energetic, silly personality, which was displayed at pep rallies and sports games – hyping up the crowd, interacting with children, and making people smile and laugh. In a recommendation letter, Youngker High School Principal Rob Roberson

said, “Being a mascot isn’t just about putting on a costume to HollyAnne. She has taken our rarely seen, gender-neutral mascot, made it female and gave it an energetic, fun-loving personality that the students love.” Not only does she participate in every school game, Buckeye officials often ask Hubbard to visit community events from air shows to Halloween carnivals and other children’s festivals, she said. Hubbard said a friend nominated her for the “Most Spirited Mascot” award, after which she submitted an essay and Varsity Brands looked at her accomplishments. She said that when she won the award, she was “really excited and really surprised.” The senior loves to make people happy and because she put so much into this character, leaving it behind will be like leaving a part of herself behind. “I think everybody is so distracted,” Hubbard said. “It’s not all about grades

Estrella Mountain announces kids college camps By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Estrella Mountain Community College’s Community Education Department offers a range of summer classes that combine information, hands-on knowledge, and fun to enhance the annual seasonal break for kids ages 4 to 16. Breaking out of the mold of the traditional coursework that students engage in during the school year, Kids College courses help expand their learning sphere while allowing them to explore personal interests. Classes occur at different times between June 4 and August 2 for various lengths. To register or see a complete list of class descriptions, times and

prices, visit estrellamountain.edu/community-education. “Our new registration process is very easy to use and is accessible 24 hours a day online, on any electronic device with an internet connection,” said Marcia Ford, EMCC’s coordinator of community education. New offerings include Latin Dance, Cut It Out! Using the Vinyl Cutter for Fun!, Chess for Kids, Light Saber, Woodworking for Kids, and ROBLOX Makers-Coders-Entrepreneurs. Another 2018 highlight is the STEM and Robotics Using Lego – All Day Camp. This course for kids ages 6 to

9 finds these junior engineers building mechanical and structural projects, like forklifts and a mini golf course. They will learn different facets of the STEM worlds, from basic programming skills to how robotic components work. Kids with a passion for science might want to enroll in the NASA Space Explorers course, or Robot Recruit where they’ll create a robot to take home. Budding actors and dancers can showcase their skills. Kids who love to help in the kitchen can hone their culinary skills with classes that focus on specialty and ethnic cuisines.

From painting, to making art from recycled trash, or learning processes like doll/toy house construction, or 3-D printing, there are several classes that might interest the artistically inclined. Many courses explore popular career paths, like firefighting, video game design and dance. Cheer, Jiu-Jitsu, kickboxing or kung fu camps might work for enthusiastic youth. The classes offered are diverse and cater to multiple interests, skill levels and age groups. The classes are held at the main EMCC campus, 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale.

AAA Scholarship Foundation extends 2018-19 deadline By Connor Dziawura

The AAA Scholarship Foundation extended the deadline for its 201819 Arizona Corporate Tax Credit Scholarship Program. The new deadline is Friday, July 6. Serving students from low-income families, the nonprofit school tuition organization (STO) awards scholarships to eligible K-12 students looking to attend eligible private schools. Awards are given for three-year terms. According to the organization’s Arizona Community Outreach Coordinator Amber Botamer, the AAA Scholarship Foundation is the only STO that does this. “All the other ones, it’s an annual renewal process,” Botamer said. “And, because this program is on the chopping block every year, you never know where that’s going to be for each of those organizations.” She added, “at least with us we have the funding already allocated. Once they’re awarded, those three years are set aside.” K-8 students can receive up to $5,400 or the cost of tuition, whichever is less. Students grades nine through 12 can receive up to $6,700 or tuition, whichever is less. Students cannot receive more than the value of their tuition. Scholarships are also awarded on a “sliding scale,” according to Botamer. This means applicants can receive either 100 percent, 75 percent or 50

percent of the potential scholarship value. The level received is dependent on household income. “For those who are attending schools where tuition is significantly higher, in the $7,000 to $8,000 range, we are not the best choice for them. But for some of those families where it is between $4,000 to $6,000, we’re a pretty good option. And then it’s also guaranteed funding once they have it for the three years,” Botamer said. “The schools also benefit by being able to budget, rather than having to chase tuition month after month... So, there’s a benefit for both the school as well as us with the three-year deal.” Aside from household income requirements, scholarship qualifications specify applicants must be either an approaching kindergarten registrant, a transfer from another STO, a student who attended an Arizona public school for at least 90 days the previous school year, or a dependent of a military member. Because it is a corporate tax scholarship, funding is derived from businesses that redirect state corporate and/or insurance premium tax liabilities to the AAA Scholarship Foundation. In return, businesses receive tax credits. Scholarship applications opened in March. For more information, visit aaascholarships.org or call 888-707-2465.

OBITUARIES

Jewel Davis

Alleen Roberta Sherrill

Jewel Davis, age 67, of Avondale, joined Jesus in Heaven on May 8, 2018. Jewel was an amazing, loving, wife and best friend to Rick Davis for 35 years, mother to three children: Kirsten, Jesse and Ricky and “Mimi” to 11 grandchildren. One of Jewel’s favorite things to do was bake for her family and friends. Jewel had been a resident of the West Valley for the last 40 years and a devoted member of Palm Valley Church. Jewel was a very kind person that was able to make friends anywhere she went. She loved cars, music and most of all, her family. The best times and memories that Jewel would say she had were during the holidays spending time with her family and watching them gather to eat and be happy. She loved to travel with her husband and discover the next best place to eat a hamburger. Jewel will be sorely missed by all of her loved ones and friends that she has made along the way. Services will be held at Palm Valley Church, 431 N Litchfield Rd in Goodyear on June 2, 2018 at 9am.

Alleen Roberta Sherrill, age 92 of Goodyear, AZ died May 19, 2018 in Goodyear, AZ. She was born August 17, 1925 in Ontario, Canada to Perry and Leona Bates. Alleen is survived by her daughters, Patricia McCray, Dottie (Junie) SherrillJohnson, and Dianne Ferguson; son, Guy Sherrill; sister, Lee Amiro; brother, Wayne Bates; eight grandchildren; 18 greatgrandchildren; and five great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband, J. G. Sherrill. A funeral service was held on Saturday, May 26, 2018 at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ.

Francisca O. Contreras On Thursday morning, May 17, 2018, Francisca O. Contreras, faithful believer and devoted follower of Jesus Christ, wife, mother, sister, grandmother, and great-grandmother was peacefully called home to be with her Lord and Savior at the age of 75, while surrounded by her ex-husband, Arturo Contreras Sr., and five loving children, Maria E. Contreras-Cadena, Arturo O. Contreras, Susan O. Contreras, George O. Contreras, and Frances O. Contreras. Francisca has also left lifelong legacies in the hearts of her surviving 17 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Francisca faithfully lived a life devoted completely to God and her family, while touching the hearts of numerous people along the way. There was no problem or worry too big that her prayers and her God could not handle and Francisca made sure it was known. She also instilled and invested the same love into her family, equipping them to continue to go on living and loving just as she would! So it is with great sadness and heavy hearts that Francisca’s loved ones have announced that a funeral service was held to honor and celebrate Francisca O. Contreras on Thursday, May 24th and she was laid to rest at Resthaven Park Cemetery in Glendale.
