Insurance battles continue for area firefighters By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Editor’s Note: After the West Valley View ran a profile about Goodyear firefighter Gilbert Aguirre and his battle with leukemia, a number of colleagues nationwide shared their stories, including his coworker, Austin Peck. Austin Peck always wanted to be a firefighter. He was sociable as a student at Cave Creek’s Cactus Shadows High School, about the same time his uncle, then a Glendale fire chief, introduced him to the occupation. “Not to boast, but I was really physical,” said Peck, a Goodyear firefighter. “I’ve been a helpful person my whole life, so it made sense to become a firefighter. “I love the medical side of it. I love playing with fire, kicking in doors, and hanging out with a group of people with the same attitude. The vibe of eating dinner at a fire station is worth the job.” These days, however, the 33-year-old Peck is spending time having chemotherapy for sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma, abbreviated SNUC, a rare, aggressive disease in the lining of the sinuses or nose. Peck said he is one of only 400 people who have had the cancer. Although there isn’t a lot of research on the cancer, doctors told Peck his disease is from the carcinogens he was exposed to while fighting fires. Peck was diagnosed in November 2015 after his nose felt swollen, as if it was broken, and he headed to the doctor. He was given an 18-percent chance to live six months.

“At the time, I was boxing. I thought it was just a broken nose,” he said. “I just let it go, but it started to get bigger. I thought I had to check that out. Then I started to get really bad headaches. I went to an ear, nose and throat doctor in Phoenix. He looked up there with a camera and instantly said there was a tumor in my nose. It was devastating.” Just after Christmas, he and his wife, Erin, left their daughters, Marley and Harper, with his parents so the kids could finish school while they moved to California for treatment. The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla of-
fered proton beam radiation that Phoenix’s Mayo Clinic only now possesses. Since then, Peck’s condition has reoccurred when treatment stopped after PET scans were clear. He can no longer have radiation because he met his lifetime limit. “When this started, I obviously took disability in November 2015,” Peck said. “I did six months of that, had a clear scan and went back on light-duty status. I worked in the admin office for 40 hours a week. I was diagnosed again and went on disability.

Goodyear council approves rec campus master plan By Connor Dziawura
Goodyear’s long-awaited recreation campus is coming to fruition, with the city council recently approving its master plan. The project has entered the scoping and costing phase, which is anticipated to take three to four months. The culmination of a lengthy outreach process that began last fall, the Goodyear
Recreation Campus Master Plan incorporated input from residents, stakeholders and city staff. “We have this great master plan that is very much supported by the community as well as city council,” explained Nathan Torres, Goodyear’s Parks and Recreation director.
The 86-acre recreation campus will consist of a 30-acre community park, a 50acre city park, a recreation center and an aquatics facility. Split into two phases, the first – and current – phase will focus on the 30-acre community park, recreation center

Estrella residents continue trails project By Lauren Serrato
Estrella residents teamed with the American Hiking Society to improve trails around the area and spread awareness about a summer danger: hiking in the Arizona heat. Estrella Trails Committee members and area residents spent the morning of June 2 creating a trail at Estrella Mountain Community Park in honor of the National Trails System’s 50th anniversary. The development boasts more than 40 trails that are maintained by a resident-led committee. Ken Hill, a 14-year Estrella resident, is among those who maintain the trails and make sure hikers stay safe. In addition to enforcing safety, the members complete other tasks like putting in signs along the trails and voting on future paths’ direction. At 7 a.m., the Trails Committee and fellow determined volunteers raked the trail as envisioned. The committee determines the trail, but it isn’t finalized until they are on site. “We never finish it until we are out and have people looking at it saying
this is or isn’t right,” Hill said, looking at the steep incline for a potential downhill for mountain bikers. “We are always popping down flags and little markers. We are not sure until in the moment. We always make last minute considerations.” The team worked hours to ensure safe travels for mountain bikers and hikers “We take into consideration features in the trails, like a rock,” he said. “Instead of digging into a trail, we will go around the rock to take advantage of the beauty on it. Sometimes there is a cool cactus, or a cool tree and we will swerve around it. It’s not just about hiking and biking, it is about the aesthetics.” Although the day’s focus was on building a new trail, the group also shared tips about how to stay safe while hiking this summer. Hill’s No. 1 safety tip is to bring plenty of water. “You need to start hydrating days before you go out. You really do,” community member Jane Olson added.

The trail is open to the public and overlooks the ISM Raceway, University of Phoenix Stadium, the White Tank Mountains, Downtown Phoenix and even mountains up north. The view at the top of the trail, according to Hill,
“provides killer views.” The June 2 trail project helped reach the American Hiking Society’s goal of improving 2,802 trail miles, which equates to the distance across the country.

Peck...continued from page 1 “After that, I had a clear scan. I went back to a modified light-duty status. Two months ago, I went back on the fire truck for a 40-hour work week. Then, the day I was let back on a normal shift, I got an email that the cancer came back. It was one full shift as a firefighter on a 48-96 schedule and now I’m back off.” He worked 48 hours on, and 96 hours off.
‘Insult to injury’ United Goodyear Firefighters President Steve Gilman called struggles like Peck’s “adding insult to injury.” “We’re willing to risk life and limb to go into a burning building and now we’re realizing the longterm effects include cancer, cardiac problems and mental health issues,” Gilman said. “I wish more of the general population understood and appreciate the risks we’re willing to take.” Peck, and Gilbert Aguirre, who was profiled in the May 30 issue of the West Valley View, were diagnosed with cancer within six months of each other, Gilman said. Their cancers were diagnosed before presumptive law changes. “It was definitely troubling,” Gilman said. “We try to be proactive, as does management, to really go out of our way to ensure minimal risk. We signed a cancer pledge to make sure, as soon as we’re done with a fire, that we’re using our second set of turnouts (personal protective equipment) and deconning (decontaminating) everything. To have two young members with young children diagnosed with cancer so close together, it was a wake-up call.” Professional Firefighters of Arizona Executive Vice President Joe Hester agreed it’s distressing. “We’ve seen cancer among our colleagues, but with all the synthetics that have come in to the market, it’s become an epidemic,” Hester said. According to the First Responder Center for Excellence, some diseases are considered “presumptive.” Generally, in the case of workrelated illness or injury, the burden is placed on the workers to prove their ailments are a result of occupational exposures. With the advent of presumptive legislation, that burden shifts; the

Truth in taxation public hearing set in Buckeye
Westview grad headed to D.C. for internship
The city of Buckeye is holding a public hearing at its regularly scheduled City Council meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 19, to give residents the chance to comment on the total amount of property taxes the city collected from one fiscal year to the next. The meeting will be at Buckeye City Hall, 530 E. Monroe Avenue. The primary property tax on a $100,000 home will remain at $180, as it has for the past six years. Buckeye’s total revenue from its primary property taxes will increase more than $1 million, a 15.23 percent increase over last year. The increase is due to the rise in the net assessed property values of residential homes within Buckeye. This proposed tax does not include any primary property taxes received from new construction, any changes that may occur from property tax levies, or voter approved bonds or

It develops future leaders by providing students with hands-on training in Washington, D.C., while it enhances the university’s and the state’s reputation in the nation’s capital. A 2016 Westview High School graduate, Stachmus entered ASU to study secondary education. Through her job at ASU as a student events assistant at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, she found her passion for event planning and development and nonprofits. “I changed my major to public policy and public service in nonprofit leadership and management,” said Stachmus, a recipient of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean’s Investment Fund Capital Scholarship. The White House Historical Association is a private, nonprofit organization founded by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy with a mission to protect, preserve and provide public access to the rich history of America’s executive mansion. Stachmus will support the organization’s development department, which works directly with its membership and donors. “I will be answering phones for donors – new and old – and helping with the

and aquatics facility, all of which comprise the eastern 40 acres of the site, Torres said. The western 46 acres will come later. “The next phase for us is to refine our scope and come up with some cost projections, and so we’re working with contractors to give us a better understanding of what the cost will be for providing this facility,” Torres said. Bonds, impact fees and the general fund will pay for the project, although the breakdown and budget amount hasn’t yet been finalized, confirmed Goodyear spokeswoman Sherine Zaya. Following scoping and costing, the project will return to city council in preparation for the design phase, which will nail the specifics. “We anticipate that that next phase, which is the design phase, could take approximately a year,” Torres said. “We’re targeting to begin that in fall of 2018 and that will take us all the way through fall of 2019.” Torres hopes for phase one construction – which he estimates to be a 12-month window – to begin in fall 2019. The phase one recreation campus would open in 2020.
‘The ultimate gathering place’ Phase one will include the 30-acre community park, the recreation center and the aquatics facility. The recreation center, Torres said, will include a high school regulation-sized multipurpose gymnasium. “Our approach with kind of planning out the recreation center is making sure it’s as versatile as possible, it provides us the most flexibility to be able to have rooms that can convert very easily,” he said. The aquatics center, on the other hand, may include a zero-depth leisure pool with slides, a lazy river and splash play features, and a lap pool. As conceptualized in the master plan, the community park may include two baseball/softball fields, two multiuse fields, a group ramada, two tennis courts, two basketball courts, six pickleball courts, two volleyball courts, a playground, and a plaza area with public art, restrooms and an amphitheater. Trails and paths, picnic areas, and several parking sites are also planned. “To keep in line with the vision of this project for mayor and council, they wanted the ultimate gathering place

Peck...continued from page 3 employer must prove the firefighter’s working conditions were not a significant contributing factor to the development of cancer. With presumptive legislation, the line-of-duty claim, and subsequent benefits, can be automatically approved if the specific criteria are met under the state’s regulations. Most states cover firefighters for one or more cancers under workers’ compensation; others, only specific cancers are covered like leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, brain cancer, bladder cancer and gastrointestinal cancer. Arizona’s coverage is outlined in ARS 23-901. Peck applied for worker’s compensation through CopperPoint Mutual Insurance Company and was denied because his cancer is not on the presumptive list. “I paid for the insurance at work for 10 years,” he said. “I went through an appeal process where I had to see two of their doctors and their two doctors denied it was caused from work. They had never heard of the cancer nor had an idea what causes it. We appealed it and it was denied again. We’re now on the fourth appeal.”
During one appeal, he brought paperwork for the industrial commission. “I provided a three-ring binder with the thousands of calls I’ve been on and what I’ve been exposed to,” he said. “The judge asked me which call gave me cancer. “We know the odds (of getting cancer). We feel like we should be protected by the insurance we’re paying for. We still do the job we’re asked to, then we’re denied when it comes for us when we’re asking for something back? It’s very frustrating.”
Family bonding Erin quit her job as a labor nurse to take care of Peck and their daughters. “She’s been watching the kids and taking me to appointments,” he said. “I’m not taking anything for granted. It’s been a huge financial life change. We were a dual-income household making really good money. “We are lucky that we haven’t had to go into bankruptcy.” Erin shares his frustration. “The part that’s heartbreaking in all of this, for us, is we live a very healthy, clean life,” she said. “We ate organic. We had a home garden, with chickens. We had a pretty chemical-free lifestyle. We

The site has collected $55,000 of the $75,000 goal, as of June 10. “We’re really focused on kicking this cancer,” Peck said. “I have nothing but positive people in my life because that’s who I surround myself with. The fire department family is huge. There are more than 100 people who work in the city of Goodyear in the fire department. I bet I hear from every single one of them at least once a month.” Austin Peck’s cancer can only be treated with chemotherapy, The day he was diagas he met his lifetime limit for radiation treatment.

Marriott...continued from page 3 265 to 465 square feet, some of which will be handicap accessible. Floor plans show amenities will include a pool; laundry, work, office and meeting rooms; business and fitness centers; lobby, lounge and breakfast areas; and a corner market. “We are just absolutely thrilled to be here and to have Mayor Tovar and the council members here with us for the groundbreaking of our Marriott Fairfield Inn,” said Quinn Palomino, principal at Virtua Partners, thanking the city. “This has been just an incredible experience and a positive experience for us, so much so that we’re looking at additional properties here to develop,” she added. Palomino, who opened the event, also provided guests a little insight on the history of Fairfield. “Marriott Family in the early ’50s bought a family farm out in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, and for years used it as a location to invite family, friends, business associates, dignitaries,” she explained. “They’ve taken that brand, Fairfield, and really focused on a couple of areas: warmth, family, comfort and simplicity,” she continued. “So, our vision for this, our vision as a company, has been to provide that oasis when it comes to a hotel for weary travelers, tired and stressed, to come here and to be able to find a home.” She also acknowledged Virtua’s partnership with Marriott and Hotel Equities, a partnership without which the future hotel would not have come to fruition. The project’s overall vision, though, as Palomino explained it, is “being a part of the community, being able to open our doors for conferences, so that the community can use it as well.” Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott is expected to open at the southeast corner of 91st Avenue and McDowell Road in summer 2019. “This is an amazing day,” Tovar said, clearly anticipating the new addition to the community. “We will mark it as an important day in our history in the city of Tolleson.”

Campus...continued from page 7 for our community,” Torres explained about the public art area. Playground and public art specifics have yet to be determined, though Torres said the Arts and Culture Commission is looking into the latter. He anticipates it to be an interactive and multisensory centerpiece to the plaza. The primary difference between the project’s two phases, Torres said, is the community park is “meant to serve residents within the 3- to 5-mile radius of the park.” The future phase two city park will be more regional amenities, he contrasted. The master plan concept shows four baseball/softball fields, a play/splash pad, a picnic area, multiuse fields, a skate plaza and an obstacle course, as well as a multiuse plaza and fishing pier by a lake. There could be additional parking, restrooms and paths and trails. Though phase two also utilized community input, Torres said, it’s just conceptual.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Bring on the clowns
Editor: Knowing how the Buckeye mayor can’t pass up a photo opportunity, will the Buckeye City Council hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating the three-ring circus coming to Watson and Yuma – the car wash? The city hall must be proud of the big messes that are planned for one’s edification on Watson. Goodyear has the same car wash we will be getting, with a giant 60-foot rubber eagle planted out front; quite the eyesore. I can just see the mayor and his cronies stationed nearby to help with the bird’s inflation with cameras rolling, hoping the evening news will televise it. Advice to the city manager and city planners: You might want to leave this one off your next resume. If you move on to other jobs, Buckeye residents will be stuck with the bill. Vickie J. Chelini Buckeye
Debbie Lesko is a hero
Editor: Recently, the Sugar Cartels won in their latest attempt to enrich themselves at the cost of the American consumer. Fortunately, not every member of Congress acted like a puppet! Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ8) voted for reform and continues to be hero for Sugar Reform. She is a stalwart opponent of the nation’s beet and cane sugar cartels and continues to fight for consumers. Thanks to the puppets in the pockets of the Sugar Cartels, the U.S. Sugar Program continues. The Sugar Program is a Soviet-style command-and-control scheme that restricts planting and imports. This inflates the price of sugar in the United States to almost double the world price. So, when you go to the store to buy a snack cake or anything sweetened, you pay more! According to the American Enterprise Institute, the program means Americans pay $3.5 billion every year in increased grocery costs, which breaks down to upward of $58 per family.
This outdated commodity program needs to be modernized, yet Congress continues to balk at every turn. Every day Congress fails, it’s another day that an American family pays more. Fortunately, there are real representatives like Mrs. Lesko fighting for the people and not the Cartels. The Independent Bakers’Association is an international trade association that fights to protect the interests of mostly family-owned wholesale bakers and allied trades. For more information about IBA and sugar program corruption, visit SugarRefund.com. Nicholas A. Pyle, president Independent Bakers’ Association Washington, D.C.
Thoughts about outsourcing
Editor: There were reasons why I was against Hillary Clinton’s idea of raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. At the time, the corporate tax was 35 percent. Second, most of the jobs in the United States were out-sourced to other countries. My mom worked in the Garment District in Los Angeles in the 1960s. Back then jobs were beginning to be outsourced to countries like India and China. My mom was a member of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union. The ILGWU was formed in 1900 to protest sweatshop conditions. I worked at Calmar Inc., in City of Industry, California, during the mid-1980s. We belonged to the Paper & Plastics Workers’ Union. I used to work for Rubbermaid in Goodyear in the early 1990s. They priced themselves out of business by 2005. The price of petroleum went up, which directly affects our raw materials. The plant closed, but through reorganization became Newell-Rubbermaid a few years later. There was a copyright infringement case when an Indian company produced copies of its food storage bowls. Their workers make a fraction of what we earn, per hour, here in the United States. One stationery and pen factory
relocated across the border to Nogales, Mexico. There, the workers make the equivalent of $1.55 USD per hour. Compare that to paying a production worker here $10.50 an hour. Consider the amount of tax companies pay for inventory, workers compensation and sick time, and then rent and utilities – not to mention overtime. I worked for Snyder’s of Hanover for seven and a half years. I was their fastest production worker on the second and third shifts. If we had overtime, but not enough work, we had the option of going home early or taking a day off. I also worked for McLane Sunwest for eight years. If we worked a lot of overtime, we earned extra days off and had sick pay. I liked that job. The pay was good. Our CEO, William Grady Rosier, said I had “an excellent mind for business.” I told him how he can lower his car payment to $40 a month and how to use 0-percent credit cards to invest and refinance. He said I’m a genius. I wonder why some companies in City of Industry haven’t relocated here? The property tax is lower. We have the old Beam manufacturing plant in Buckeye. Due to zoning laws, we cannot put a plastics company in its place. Why not a vocational school to give people who are on welfare job skills, so they can get off welfare? Did you know libraries have free
computer classes? Give them a call. For some people on a fixed income or welfare, college is not an option. I took the computer classes, including advanced levels, at the Buckeye Library. I’m glad I did! I’m now on Facebook and Twitter! I send my letters to the West Valley View via email. Laura Rivas Buckeye
Questioning motives
Editor: In her recent opinion piece, Debbie Lesko wrote she will “hold and support the freedoms and liberties that make this nation great.” However, when Lesko served in the Arizona Legislature, she championed legislation that dampened citizen rights. In March 2017 Ms. Lesko pushed measure – HB2244 – that makes it more difficult for citizens to get initiatives on the ballot. Rep. Farnsworth sponsored and introduced the bill into the House before it was transmitted to the Senate. HB2244 and its companion bill HB2404 came at the behest of the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, which decried the passage of Prop. 206 for the minimum wage increase. Chamber Vice President Garrick Taylor is quoted as saying Prop 206 should have never been on the ballot. Citizen initiatives already had to

OPINION
Letters...continued from page 13 follow the state constitution and laws, but Lesko determined that there had to be “strict compliance.” With only one public hearing Arizonans had little opportunity to voice opposition. Disturbingly, the Republicancontrolled legislature passed (and Ducey signed) HB2244, which allows a court to keep an initiative off the ballot if backers are not in “strict compliance” with all election laws. The initiative can be disqualified even if a wrong type size is used, or the margins are incorrect. This overturns a series of court rulings that erred on the side of giving voters their say and let measures remain on the ballot if there is “substantial compliance” with the law. Lesko is quoted in a Capitol Media Services article saying she introduced HB2244 because she was displeased that Arizonans were allowed to vote in 2012 on a proposal that would have made permanent the state’s 1-cent sales tax surcharge. She objected to the fact that a copy of the initiative filed electronically with the secretary of state’s office differed from the one
filed on paper and that was circulated. However, the courts concluded the circulators had been in “substantial compliance” and allowed the vote to go forward and the initiative failed. Lesko is also on record saying that while she believes there is a need for strict compliance with petition drives, she does not see that as necessary for politicians like herself. “Candidates can be elected out every two years,” she said. “An initiative, once it’s in, it’s in. It’s almost virtually impossible to change it.” So, she wanted to exempt herself and other politicians from strictures that she imposed on her constituents and citizens of Arizona. To this day, I am dumbfounded as to how HB2244 made the daily lives of Arizonans better. Rather than dampening citizen rights, should not issues such as water and public-school funding be the focus of our state and federal legislators? Given the past, can we really believe that Debbie will uphold all our freedoms? Thank you for your attention to my inquiry. Lawrence Peters Buckeye
Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase
In compliance with section 15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Tolleson Union High School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Tolleson Union High School District’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over the current level to pay for increased expenditures in those areas where the governing board has the authority to increase property taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2018. The Tolleson Union High School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $0.6767. The amount proposed above will cause Tolleson Union High School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $67.67. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $1.58. These amounts proposed are above the qualifying tax levies as prescribed by state law, if applicable. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides. All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing on the proposed tax increase scheduled to be held June 27, 2018 @ 6 PM at the Tolleson Union High School District Office, 9801 W. Van Buren St., Tolleson, AZ. 85353.
Legislators should prioritize ERA
Editor: “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” These powerful words were conceived by American suffragist Alice Paul. In 1923, she envisioned that the women of America would be guaranteed the same freedoms and rights that men originally achieved in 1776. After 49 years, Alice Paul’s Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) finally gained passage in Congress in 1972. But only 35 of the needed 38 states achieved ratification within the required timeframe. The ERA has seen new life, with Nevada becoming the 36th state to ratify, followed recently by Illinois. When 38 states achieve ratification, legal analysis shows a case can be made to enact the ERA. The ERA is as relevant to American women today as it was nearly 100 years ago. The ERA guarantees equality for women under the law and protects women from gender discrimination. The ERA will establish a legal precedent for equal pay for equal work, equal access to education and health care, and allow us to legally contest economic inequalities, pregnancy discrimination, and violence against women. Join the League of Women Voters of Arizona in advocating for Arizona to become the final state to ratify the ERA. This is the second consecutive year that an ERA bill failed to see a vote in the state legislature. We must persuade our state legislators to prioritize the ERA. Arizona holds the key to constitutionally guaranteed equality for all women. Dr. Michelle Dorsey Vice President, League of Women Voters of Arizona
Appalling figures Editor: It’s very disappointing to read the level of ignorance demonstrated by our local politicians regarding the cause of homelessness in our community from your article in the May 28 issue. Here is an excerpt from Bernie Sanders that applies here as well. The Walt Disney Company is an
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 13, 2018
enormously profitable corporation worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 billion. Last year, it made $9 billion in profits and rewarded its CEO, Bob Iger, with a compensation package worth up to $423 million over a fouryear period. And because of Trump tax cuts, they were given an additional $1.6 billion. At the same time – and this is a national disgrace – employees at the company’s theme park in Anaheim, California, are paid so poorly that many of them are literally living in a tent city not far from the park. According to one recent study, nearly 1 in 10 workers employed at the park reported being homeless in the past two years, more than 2 in 3 say they are food insecure, and 3 out of 4 employees say they do not make enough money for their basic needs. What percent of our states citizens are in the same boat due to low-paying jobs? When you add in the other factors like health care, you get the recipe for homelessness. States are limited in what they can afford to do because they are currency users, but the federal government, through Congress, is where this national disgrace should be laid. All poverty and suffering in America is caused by the big lie that our federal government is too broke to afford single-payer health care, and a Federal Jobs Guarantee Program. The federal government is the currency issuer, can never go broke, and doesn’t need taxes to pay for services. William Pitt Buckeye

Goodyear’s Jessie Collier named property manager of the year By Lynette Carrington
Realtor Jessie Collier was named the 2018 Residential Real Estate Property Manager of the Year by the Arizona School of Real Estate & Business at McCormick Ranch Golf Club in Scottsdale. The 17-year Goodyear resident has been a full-time Realtor since 1997 and celebrated her 10-year anniversary with West USA Realty. “The head of the property management division of West USA, David Pruitt, selected me to be nominated for this award,” said Collier, who is also a certified residential property manager. There were 300 nominees for the prestigious award. “I had no idea I was going to win this award and I’m honored,” Collier said. “I received an invitation to the event saying I was nominated for the award and when I was showed up all the other nominees were there. I even told my boyfriend there was no way I was going to win. It was a total shock.” The Realtor enjoys her duties as a property manager, but admits that it can be challenging. “It’s not easy being a property manager,” Collier explained. “I don’t think everybody is equipped to do it. It takes a lot of organization, communication skills, also the ability to handle disputes. I think that’s why I excel, because I have those skills.” She also said she loves finding the answers to tough questions and being able to successfully resolve disputes. As a residential real estate property manager, Collier oversees 180 homes Valleywide. “I collect rent, pay the owner’s rental taxes to the state and take care of maintenance requests, that’s what keeps me busy most of the time,” Collier explained. “If a tenant has a repair request, they either call or email and we take care of sending out vendors to take care of the issue.” West USA Realty is a full-service agency that helps buyers purchase homes and handles rentals. Her office is primarily focused on homes in the

Tolleson football improves at ASU passing league By Eric Newman
Though the Tolleson High School football team does not begin its regular season until August 24, the group gained quality experience competing in the Arizona State Football Passing League on June 4 in Tempe. It placed second out of 16 teams in an overtime loss to Highland in the championship game. The 7-on-7 league – with just a quarterback and six receivers battling for yards and points against a defense made up of linebackers, corners and safeties – gave teams the chance to practice sets, play calls and schemes to prepare for their seasons. “They practice their timing, route running and what we do out here is what we’re going to do during the season, not making up some different offense or defense for the passing league,” Tolleson coach Jason Wilke said. Tolleson’s offense was firing instantly. On the first play of the first two games, senior quarterback Patrick Ortega hit senior receiver Andre Johnson for a couple 40-yard touchdowns. “It just kind of happened,” Johnson said. “I noticed a pattern starting all the way back at some of the other tournaments. He just told me to do a post on the first play, and I did it and was just wide open for a touchdown.” Going into their senior seasons, the pair could be one of the top quarterback-receiver combinations in Arizona when high school games begin. At all points of the game, when nobody else could find separation from defenders, Johnson seems to come up with a big play on a dime from Ortega, a move the team has gotten used to in
their three years starting together. “I can always count on him (Johnson),” Ortega said. “He’s always there when I need him. The team feeds off those plays, too, and when we have him it opens up things for everyone else, because you can see when there’s a play like that to Andre, they all float over to him, and the other guys can get open easier.” Asked about his goals for the preseason, Ortega gave a very simple answer. “For me, it’s about finishing,” he said. If the team is to be successful come August, the defense will have to finish as well. Early in the first game against Highland, and at the beginning of other games in group play, the Wolverines forced offenses into tough fourth-down conversions, but could not make the final play to cause turnovers and prevent points. Without a defensive line, and a rush on the quarterback, who could sit unbothered until he picked the right receiver to throw to, stops were difficult to come by for all teams. Wilke still said the experience would prove valuable for the back line of his defense. “You get to see all the different formations, movement, communication from other teams, it really helps the back end of your defense, and just more reps and a chance to compete,” he said. Most importantly, while the Tolleson players were locked in and playing intensely, the group could be seen enjoying each other’s company on the sidelines dancing and celebrating big plays made by their teammates. They

enjoyed the low-pressure environment. “Any time you get the time to come out here and compete with each other, and have that camaraderie to play
football, it’s a lot of fun,” Wilke said. “It should be, or else we’re wasting our time out here when it’s 111 degrees.”

Estrella Foothills’ Vanderhei commits to University of Kansas By Griffin Fabits
Ryan Vanderhei and the University of Kansas have eyed one another since he entered the Estrella Foothills baseball program nearly four years ago. The 6-foot 6-inch, 175-pound, right-handed pitcher is hard to miss. He boasts a fastball just shy of 90 miles per hour, consistently fills the strike zone and has that projectability factor scouts rave about. On June 4, Vanderhei made it official with a verbal commitment to further his baseball career at Kansas after a strong junior season at Estrella Foothills. “The coaching staff is phenomenal,” he said of the Jayhawks’ program. “They treat me as if I was one of their own before I was their own. Every little thing you could think of is just flat out perfect. There’s really no other way to describe it. It’s just one of those things you want to be a part of.” For a Wolves squad that won the most games in school history and captured back-to-back region titles, Vanderhei was a stalwart for head coach Patrick McCubbins.
He logged 30.2 innings on the mound this spring, striking out 38 batters while yielding 14 earned runs. Vanderhei was equally impactful on the other side of the ball. He batted .342 in 29 games and slugged three home runs, tied with senior Tyler Godfrey and junior Jacob McLeod. One of Vanderhei’s goals was to play baseball at the collegiate level. Along with Kansas, Washington State and Nebraska were in the mix. He certainly had options, but nothing compared to Kansas. “It’s such a dream come true. In my opinion, it’s the best conference you can play in. You have schools like TCU, Texas Tech, Texas, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma. That’s a big deal. You’re playing on ESPN. It’s anything you could ever ask for.” Vanderhei is unsure which role he’ll be tasked with at Kansas. He knows he’ll pitch, but whether it’s in the starting rotation or out of the bullpen remains unclear. He’ll have another year to determine
that role, but for now, he’s sharpening his tools while traveling the country this summer with a pair of club teams. “I have a club team I travel out of state with, Northeast Baseball. Then I have an in-state club team that I practice with and have in-state tournaments called Gauchos Baseball Academy. I’ve been to Florida this year with Northeast and I just threw with the Gauchos in a tournament. I’ll be going to Nashville and Georgia this month, and then I’ll fly back out to Florida in a month or two.” Baseball in AriEstrella Foothills pitcher Ryan Vanderhei committed to zona means a year- University of Kansas.

Check out the World Cup at these WV locales
21
By Evan Desai
Every year, the approaching summer solstice signals barbecues, pool days and vacations. Every fourth year is different, and this is one of those times. The FIFA World Cup kicks off Thursday, June 14, and we have the local spots to visit to enjoy the games.
Native Grill and Wings
457 S. Watson Road, Buckeye 623-386-2585 nativegrillandwings.com Tina French, assistant store manager for Buckeye’s Native Grill and Wings, said her restaurant is the perfect place to watch the worldwide event. The last World Cup saw guests donning their country’s colors and to sum it up, “it was fun, live and loud.” Native Grill & Wings (or, “Native” as the regulars call it) focuses on food and being family-friendly. The sports grill offers 20 wing flavors – from strawberry hot to ancho chile lime, Asian garlic to honey chipotle – that guests can order by the individual wing. It also boasts an extensive menu of burgers, sandwiches, salads and more. Most of the sauces and rubs can be used to customize other menu items. The restaurants are divided into a bar and restaurant, with approximately 30 to 40 flat-screen TVs throughout, offering sports coverage for families and serious fans, and a customer base spanning all generations.
Fuego Bar and Grill
9113 W. Van Buren Street, Tolleson 623-478-7300, facebook.com/FuegoBarAndGrill/ Owner Diego Espinoza, also a Democratic member of the Arizona House of Representatives, said he plans to open the restaurant early, especially for the Mexico games, proving his and his customers’ dedication to the World Cup. “It would be electrifying…People would be enthusiastic about their country,” Espinoza said about the last World Cup. Fuego Bar & Grill offers authentic Mexican cuisine dating back to four generations of family traditions.
Inside Majerle’s Sports Grill in Goodyear, there is no shortage of flat-screen televisions.

Majerle’s
13375 W. McDowell Road, Goodyear 623-207-6999 majerles.com/goodyear/ Owned by former Phoenix Suns great “Thunder” Dan Majerle, the restaurant isn’t new to celebrating major sporting events like the World Cup. Last year, the restaurant was filled with soccer fans. “We always have a good fanbase for specific teams,” said Allison Reeg, the general manager of Majerle’s in Goodyear. “I would say the best thing
about watching the World Cup with us is our great bar food. I think there are a lot of sports bars in the area, but I think we have the best bar food in the West Valley.” The menu features burgers for $10 to $13, and 10 “Gorilla wings” for $13.
Tailgaters Sports Grill and Il Primo
5110 N. Dysart Road, Litchfield Park 623-547-2227, tgpizza.com Tailgaters Sports Grill and Il Primo in Litchfield Park, one of its five locations in the state, offers a wide variety of televisions and a majority of them will be dedicated to the World Cup come June 14. Derek Hernandez, front house manager, is excited about the influx of soccer fans. “We’ll be trying to accommodate to the people who are coming in to watch the soccer matches,” Her-
nandez said. He appreciates the folks who watch the cup because, outside of baseball, sports are at a minimum this time of year. Tailgaters Sports Grill staff is planning on opening the restaurant on gamedays. Call for details. The menu features unique items like a breaded zucchini basket ($7.99) and breaded cheese curds ($8.99), as well as soup, salads, chili and hot dogs, most of which are less than $10.
Lighthouse Sports Bar
12351 W. Indian School Road, Avondale 623.935.2471 General manager Bob Clayton said he is looking forward to seeing soccer fans in his bar, considering the number of sports enthusiasts who visit yearround. He called Lighthouse Sports Bar one of the few traditional bars in the area, and a prime location for fun. “We stand out as one of the places for entertainment on the weekends,” he said. Upon arrival, expect traditional bar food like mozzarella sticks, but stay for the ribs.

Travolta challenged to accurately play Gotti in new film WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 13, 2018
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
John Travolta had one thing in mind when John Gotti’s family asked him to play the infamous mob king in the film Gotti: get it right. “It was important for me to accurately portray the dad/husband to that family,” said Travolta, during an interview at Grimaldi’s in Old Town Scottsdale. “It took a long time to get it done. There were increments of different actors, increments of different directors and different scripts until we decided on the right one. It was important to get it right.” Based on the book by John Gotti Jr., Shadow of My Father, Gotti shares the story of John V. Gotti’s rise to power to take the mantle of boss of the Gambino crime family. The film, which opens Friday, June 15, also focuses on the relationship between father and son, when John Jr. approaches his father for his blessing to leave the crime syndicate. While in prison, Gotti is forced to re-examine his life and priorities, and determine if, for the first time, he can put the needs of his family over those of his crime syndicate.
“I thought it was admirable of John Jr. to fight for getting out of the mob because that took a lot of courage to confront a powerhouse like his dad,” Travolta said. “Then the RICO Act moved in and made the mob disassemble. There wasn’t a lot of future in it anyway. At the end of the day, his dad wanted him to be happy because he loved his son, so he let him leave the group with his permission.” Travolta, who is John Travolta plays mobster John Gotti in the film Gotti, which joined in the film by opens in wide release Friday, June 15. (Photo courtesy Brian Douglas) his wife, Kelly Preston, and daughter, Ella Bleu, admitted there for their criteria. I did my job.” was a lot of pressure to play the “Teflon It proved to be a learning experience Don.” as well, for the entire cast, including “It was a good pressure though,” he Spencer Lofranco, who plays John Jr. said sitting forward. “I like a challenge. “I learned he was a 24-hour-a-day, I knew I could challenge myself to really seven-day-a week gangster,” Travolta make them believe I was him and I did, said about his experience. “They helped

me understand ‘La Cosa Nostra,’ the integrity the original mob had, which had nothing to do with what evolved in this present day, the time in which the movie is based. “There was honor and integrity to it in its own moral envelope. I finally understood that. I don’t think I did hither to the film.” But Gotti doesn’t set out to persuade audiences to see a lighter side of John Jr. or his father, who died in 2002 in prison of throat cancer at age 61. Instead, Travolta wants the audience to make their own judgment about the family. “I’m not a message person, per se,” Travolta said. “I don’t tune into that. I tune into, ‘Did the audience enjoy the experience? Did they get something from it subjectively?’ “So far, the people who have seen it have gotten something different from it. That’s what I think is a good piece of art. I had a similar experience with Pulp Fiction. Everyone had a different take on it. That’s what you hope for in a good film or a good painting or a good piece of music.”

Senior meal nonprofit Litchfield Park to host hosting first duck derby ‘superhero’ swim night
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 13, 2018

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Meals of Joy, a nonprofit meal delivery service for seniors in need, is hosting its first Duck Derby rubber duck race on Saturday, July 3, in conjunction with the Star-Spangled Eve festivities at Estrella Mountain Ranch. The Duck Derby will launch 4,000 rubber ducks on the north lake at Estrella Mountain Ranch and the firstplace winner will get $2,500, followed by $1,000 for second place, and $500 for third. Ducks are on sale for $5 each, five for $20 or 15 for $50 and proceeds benefit Meals of Joy to support its mission of delivering fresh, hot meals to every senior in need. In the past year, 17 percent of Arizona’s senior population has faced the threat of hunger, and with the aging of the Baby Boomer population, the number is expected to increase significantly.

Girls can explore firefighting through Goodyear camp
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 13, 2018
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
When Hailey Shank participated in Goodyear Fire Department’s High School Girls Camp, she learned about more than saving lives. She learned about respecting lives. “It was a cool way to build relationships with like-minded young women and to experience situations in a male-dominated workspace,” said Shank, who participated in the camp three times. “It was amazing the respect they constantly show for one another. I think respect is a pretty good thing.” The Goodyear Fire Department’s 2018 camp is Monday, June 18, to Friday, June 22. The girls learn firefighting and safety techniques at the program that is held at various departments nationwide. “Ultimately, we want to get those young girls introduced to the world of public safety,” Goodyear Fire Chief Paul Luizzi said. “We give them the chance to see what it’s like to work in that environment, what skills are needed, and to hear from women in these roles.” Each day, influential females, like City Manager Julie Arendall and firefighter Lora Davis, speak to the girls. “They talk about what it takes to get to that level,” Luizzi said. “We really try to expose them to as much as possible. We have Lora Davis, one of our female firefighters, running the class. I love seeing the look on the girls’ faces when they get to accomplish a task.” The girls aren’t babied, either. They learn CPR, a skill Luizzi calls import-
ant, and how to climb a 100-foot ladder. “Every day, they also participate in some kind of physical training activity like an obstacle course, bodyweight squats, whatever the workout of the day is,” Luizzi said. “Typically, we also have some sort of fire experience – pulling a hose line, rescuing a dummy from a simulated home, or have them go through a ladder evaluation.” During the ladder evaluation, the girls Girls at Goodyear Fire Department’s High School Girls Camp learn how to properly suit up.

‘The Little Red Hen’ flies into Goodyear Branch Library By Mckayla Hull
The Great Arizona Puppet Theater is taking The Little Red Hen out of theaters and into the intimate Goodyear Branch Library at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 16. The classic tale will have a new spin, according to Nancy Smith, who is the CEO, director and performer with the theater. “We decided the hen should have a little chick who always wants to help, instead of her being left helpless all the time,” Smith said. “It’s like the kid is
helping the mommy.” Library Branch Manager Beth Medley booked the performance because of its message. “The Little Red Hen is such a great story about finding ways to be cooperative and finding ways to help other people,” Medley said. “I really hope the kids can watch this show and come away with the idea that they can be helpers in their lives, and find ways to make other people’s lives a little bit easier.”
The performance will not only be a moral lesson, but a practical one. It meets Common Core and English Language Learners standards, Smith said. “Tapping into the old folktales dovetails nicely with the folklore units in schools,” Smith said. “We’re always encouraging children to read.” Bringing performances to the community is nothing new to the Great Arizona Puppet Theater. “When we’re able to take our shows on the road, we’re able to reach kids
who might otherwise not have a chance to see a live puppet show,” Smith said. “We’re also hoping that once they see and enjoy a puppet show, they’ll want to see more. We bring puppeteers in from all over the world to perform at our theater. We want to share this amazing art form with our community.” The Great Arizona Puppet Theater is part of the menu of entertainment the library’s administration books, Medley

She particularly enjoys this one. “They get good reviews everywhere they go,” Medley said. “They’re super popular Valleywide and we’re so lucky to be on their list of appearances this year. From what I hear from my colleagues in other libraries, they’re usually one of the highest-attended shows of the summer.” The puppeteers make sure each show is unique, so they slightly tweak them. This could mean turning the puppet’s head at a different time, or pausing before a certain line, Smith said.
“Nobody notices except the puppeteer because we’re always trying to keep our shows alive and fresh, even though we do hundreds of performances every year,” she said. “We try and make every show the best one we ever did.” Great Arizona Puppet Theater: The Little Red Hen 10:30 a.m. Saturday, June 16 Goodyear Branch Library, 14455 W.

Oris “Jim” F. Hanes and Fern (DeShane) Hanes of Buckeye are celebrating their 70th Wedding Anniversary. The couple are both Arizona natives; Jim was born in Prescott and Fern in Camp Verde. They grew up in Prescott, where they met and married on June 18, 1948. Jim, a WWII veteran and Carpenter, retired from Bechtel Corporation after thirty-five years with the company. Fern, a Homemaker, volunteered on the PTA and various committees at their children’s schools. They raised their three sons; James, William “Bill”, and Robert “Bob” throughout Arizona and California. As active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, they both also served in many church auxiliaries over the years. They are a wonderful example of love and commitment to others; including their sons, daughters-inlaw, thirteen grandchildren, and thirty-one great-grandchildren. During their retirement years they have enjoyed traveling to many places with the most recent, a road trip all the way from Buckeye to North Pole, Alaska! However, the time they spend in Prescott is what they love the most as it will always be home for them.
OBITUARIES SPENCER Standard Poodle, Princess Diana's Goldmine Silverwing, (Spencer) died on June 4, 2018 from natural causes. He was born in Golden, Colorado, in 2004, and was adopted by human parents Bruce and Carolyn Mathews of Litchfield Park, AZ, when he was six weeks old. He was a very active puppy, full of fun and happiness, but with a mind of his own, he did outgrow that and became the most loving, happy, beautiful silver dog in Litchfield Park. He gave unconditional love to everyone, his human parents, their children, grand and great grand children. He especially loved his human cousin Judy, groomer, and his doctor. He was not "just a dog", he was much more, he was a constant companion. His favorite foods were cooked green beans, broccoli, and cauliflower, but kibble- not so much. He was very smart and understood everything that was going on. He will always have a special place in his families' heart. Life was very much better because he was in it and the entire family has been blessed.

PUBLIC NOTICE “Arizona Water Company has released its 2017 Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) for its White Tank water system, PWSID 07-128. Copies are available: at the Casa Grande office located at 318 N. Marshall Street, Casa Grande; via mail by sending a request to Arizona Water Company, P. O. Box 11030, Casa Grande, AZ 85230; via our website at www.azwater.com; or by calling the Casa Grande office at 520-836-8785. A copy of the report will be mailed to customers via a special mailing in June 2018. The entire report is also printed in the newspaper today. Arizona Water Company recommends that customers serving more than one housing unit post a copy of the 2017 Water Quality Report in a conspicuous place.” ARIZONA WATER COMPANY – 2017 ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR WHITE TANK, ARIZONA, PWSID NO. 07-128 – T h i s r e p o r t c o n t a i n s i m p o r t a n t i n f o r m a t i o n a b o u t y o u r d r i n k i n g w a t e r. Este informe contiene información importante sobre su agua potable. Tradúzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien. Arizona Water Company provides groundwater to its White Tank customers from wells located throughout the White Tank area. All water samples are collected by state-certified employees of Arizona Water Company or by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”). Samples are analyzed by state-certified independent laboratories and the results are forwarded to ADEQ. The following report provides detailed information about the quality of the water delivered to customers. The water supplied by Arizona Water Company complies with all state and federal safe drinking water standards and regulations. Your drinking water complies with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (“USEPA”) safe drinking water standard for arsenic, though it contains low levels of arsenic. USEPA’s safe drinking water standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. USEPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems. Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant you should ask advice from your health care provider. Note: In addition to the constituents listed in this report, Arizona Water Company conducted monitoring for over 90 additional constituents and the results show none of those constituents were detected in the water. Data presented are from the most recent testing done in accordance with applicable regulations. Some constituents are monitored less frequently than once a year because either their concentrations do not change frequently or they are not likely to be detected. Therefore, some of the water quality testing data contained herein, although representative, may be more than one year old. If you have questions about this water quality report, please contact Regina Lynde, Environmental Compliance Manager, Arizona Water Company, P. O. Box 29006, Phoenix, Arizona 85038-9006; telephone (602) 240-6860 or email mail@azwater.com.
reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radiological material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Constituents that may be present in source water include: • Microbials, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. • Inorganics, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. • Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses. • Organics, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production. They can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems. • Radiological material, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain constituents in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for constituents in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health. If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Arizona Water Company is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www. epa.gov/lead.

In 2004, ADEQ completed a Source Water Assessment of the water sources used by Arizona Water Company’s White Tank water system. ADEQ reviewed the adjacent land uses that may pose a potential risk to the water sources. The result of the Assessment was a low risk to the water sources.
This is an alert about your drinking water and a cosmetic dental problem that might affect children under nine years of age. At low levels, fluoride can help prevent cavities, but children drinking water containing more than 2 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of fluoride may develop cosmetic discoloration of their permanent teeth (dental fluorosis). The drinking water provided by your community water system has a fluoride level ranging from 1.0 to 2.2 mg/l. Dental fluorosis in its moderate or severe forms may result in a brown staining and or pitting of the permanent teeth. This problem occurs only in developing teeth, before they erupt from the gums. Children under nine should be provided with alternative sources of drinking water or water that has been treated to remove the fluoride to avoid the possibility of staining and pitting of their permanent teeth. You may also want to contact your dentist about proper use by young children of fluoride-containing products. Older children and adults may safely drink the water. Drinking water containing more than 4 mg/l of fluoride (the USEPA’s drinking water standard) can increase your risk of developing bone disease. Your drinking water does not contain more than 4 mg/l of fluoride, but we’re required to notify you when we discover that the fluoride levels in your drinking water exceed 2 mg/l because of this cosmetic problem. Some home water treatment units are also available to remove fluoride from drinking water. To learn more about available home water treatment units, you may call NSF International at 1-877-8-NSFHELP. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. The presence of constituents does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about constituents and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to constituents in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. USEPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial constituents are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds,
