On June 17, Gov. Doug Ducey and Arizona Department of Health Services Director Dr. Cara Christ sat down at a long table to begin a news conference. Both were wearing masks. It was a hint that things were going to change—quickly. The wheels of local government started spinning and, in days, county and city proclamations were issued requiring masks, with an emphasis on education rather than ﬁnes for noncompliance. “COVID-19 is widespread in the state of Arizona, and Arizonans must act responsibly to protect one another,” Ducey said. Indeed, in the week before Ducey’s news conference, COVID-19 cases in Maricopa County jumped from 15,000 to more than 22,000. Since June 17, the total positive cases in the county topped 31,000—double the number of less than two weeks ago. And the number hospitalized in Maricopa County rose from 1,809 June 10 to 2,202

June 22, a 20% increase. Ducey said he strongly urges “all Arizonans wear face masks when you can’t social distance ... to help protect vulnerable communities and reduce infection rates.” Yet he did not make a statewide

Father’s Day present: post-virus health BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

He remembers checking into Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Westgate Medical Center and leaving the Glendale hospital. The middle part? Don’t ask Garette Craig about two weeks he spent on a ventilator. As he said, “I don’t remember anything.”

Well, nothing in reality, at least. “During the time I was on a ventilator, I had severe nightmares. I thought I was kidnapped and taken overseas somewhere,” said Craig, 50 and a Litchﬁeld Park resident. As he said this, Garette Craig Jr. shook his head grimly. It never got that bad for the son, who is 30, but he also spent a week

in the hospital. COVID-19 almost took both their lives. Yet for those who think the coronavirus disease is greatly exaggerated, they can relate. “We both were those people,” Craig Sr. said as his son nodded in agreement. “We

Health...continued from page 1 didn’t believe we could catch the virus, and if we did, we thought it would be more like the flu.” During a video call, his son wholeheartedly agreed: “I definitely didn’t take it seriously,” Craig Jr. said. “In my mind, I felt it was just like the flu, so I wasn’t scared of it at all. Now I know how serious it is.” While an estimated 80% who get COVID-19 have symptoms no worse than for the flu, the Craigs were hit hard. In Maricopa County, more than 70% of those who have died from COVID-19 had preexisting medical conditions. The Craigs fit into that category, as the father has recurring bronchitis and the son had a recent heart procedure. The son started feeling ill first. “I got sick a couple days after St. Patrick’s Day,” said Craig Jr., 30 and a Phoenix resident. “I was coughing, lost my voice for a couple of days. Then I started having fevers and headaches and lost my appetite.” His father also started feeling ill in March but didn’t think much of it. “On an annual basis, I experience coughing

and bronchitis, so that’s what I thought I had.” When the medicine he takes for bronchitis didn’t do anything, he and his rapidly deteriorating son went to their doctor together. Both tested positive for COVID-19. The Craigs were having difficulty breathing, so they went to the hospital March 25. “When we went into the hospital, I was worse than he was,” Craig Jr. said. “But he ended up being worse than me.” Indeed, Craig Sr. spiraled down quickly. Two days after signing into the Westgate hospital, he was transferred and placed on a ventilator at Dignity Health St. Joseph’s Hospital in Phoenix. “They said my lungs were failing and if they didn’t put me on a machine I was going to die. I didn’t have much time to process what was going on. I made one phone call, updated my sister, and then I woke up 13 or 14 days later.” He was later told he was the first COVID-19 patient to go on a ventilator at that hospital who lived. Craig Sr. remembers waking up

“pretty grumpy” after his two-week ventilator vacation. “I FaceTimed my family and within a couple hours I was ready to go home,” he said. Though he was ready to jump out of bed, when he hit the ground he was too weak to walk, leaving the hospital in a wheelchair. He said he lost 32 pounds during three weeks in the hospital. At first, “I couldn’t walk on my own without a walker or a wheelchair, I couldn’t breathe very well, couldn’t use the restroom on my own,” Craig Sr. said. He and his son, who lost 28 pounds over a week in the hospital, are both web designers. It took about two weeks before he was functioning normally. Now, he said, “My breathing’s better, I’m able to walk, run, workout. I do just about everything I could do before I got sick.” His Father’s Day in Litchfield Park included a family barbecue and swim-

ming party. “It will mean something more to be able to celebrate Father’s Day with him, because we definitely could have lost him,” Craig Jr. said a few days before the holiday. Having gone to the very edge of existence before coming back, Craig Sr.’s gratefulness is tinged with frustration—like when he goes to the gym for his regular workout. “I don’t think people are taking it seriously,” he said. “For every 50 people that are in there, I would say one has a mask on. It’s just bizarre.” He doesn’t wish what he went through on anyone; he just wishes people would believe the reality. “This virus is real,” Craig Sr. said. “Wear your mask, wash your hands, take care of yourself. If you think you can’t get it like I thought, you can. “I was one of the lucky people that didn’t die. Take it seriously.”

Masks...continued from page 1 order, instead stressing mayors should set mask policies: “We’re going to empower local officials.” Some cities rushed to take action; others, like Goodyear, took their time. On June 18, less than 24 hours after Ducey’s conference, Tolleson Mayor Anna Tovar signed a proclamation requiring face coverings in public places the morning of June 20. Also June 18, Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise ordered patrons of Avondale businesses to wear masks starting June 21. Phoenix put a mask requirement in place just after noon June 19, around the time the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors went into a private, executive-session meeting. Buckeye scheduled a meeting on masks for June 23, then canceled it. Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord held an executive-session meeting—also closed to the public—at 6 p.m. June 19. By the time Lord passed a mask proclamation, Goodyear’s decision was moot: The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors announced mask requirements for all cities in the county, beginning June 20. According to the county order, people older than 6 must wear masks in “places of public accommodation,” including businesses, sidewalks and parks. Exemptions include “restaurant patrons while eating or drinking.” Not wearing a mask in public comes with the risk of a warning for first-time offenders, followed by a $50 fine for those who refuse to comply. Ducey said he is emphasizing educa-

tion about the benefits of masks and social distancing, while providing funding for “contact tracing” of those who test positive to determine who they potentially exposed. He also had some stern words for businesses that are not following current guidelines (see Page 18). “As we continue to expand testing and prioritize our most vulnerable populations, today’s stepped-up actions will help further contain the spread of

COVID-19,” Ducey said. “We need to redouble our efforts, and we need everyone to do their part.” With many West Valley high schools yet to celebrate graduations, Ducey issued a warning. He said that, until recently, he could relate to those who say they “don’t know anyone with coronavirus.” “Just recently I know a lot of people who have (tested positive),” Ducey said. “They got it at graduation parties.”

Buckeye Union high schools’ social-distancing graduations BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

Buckeye Union High School District remains the only West Valley district— and one of the few in the entire Valley—that held graduation ceremonies in a large, public venue. According to Eric Godfrey, superintendent of the district, strict social distancing guidelines were reviewed with students of Buckeye Union, Youngker and Estrella Foothills high schools before the June 8, 9 and 10 graduation ceremonies at Goodyear Ballpark. “We had, as a governing board, decided to go forward with precautions in place,” Godfrey said. “We had about 90% of the student body (at the graduations) and worked with the city of Goodyear and our insurance trust to put in place (social distancing),” Godfrey said. “We’ve had nothing but positive feedback.” He said there were 1,500 to 1,800 spectators at each graduation. Up to five tickets per student were distributed.

While Buckeye Union High School District stressed social distancing, which was strictly followed during ceremonies, some graduates did not exit Goodyear Ballpark immediately after graduation ceremonies and failed to practice the social distancing that had been emphasized..

Among the guidelines were “all attendees encouraged to wear masks”; however, several district representatives did not wear masks. According to information Godfrey forwarded to the West Valley View, guidelines for graduates included: • All graduates spaced 10 feet apart across the grass in the outfield of the ball-

park facing the left field video screen. • All student speeches were pre-recorded to avoid microphone sharing. • The event was streamed live, so the graduate only stood to be recognized and their face was shown on the jumbo video screen in left field. • No handshaking or any physical congratulating contact with graduates. • Students had staggered entrance and exiting of the field under social distancing guidelines. • Diplomas were distributed upon graduate entry to the field in order to eliminate grouping after the event to get diplomas. • There were no choral or band presentations during the graduation. “We had very successful graduations in an outdoor venue with limited attendance and social distancing practice in place. They were very well received by those in attendance and those that graduated,” Godfrey said.

Godfrey was unapologetic about hugging Rob Roberson, the retiring Youngker High School principal. “That was a brief moment for me to recognize him in front of parents and the community,” Godfrey said. “In that moment, to be able to acknowledge a colleague and friend was appropriate.” Godfrey praised graduates for following the social distancing guidelines. However, at the end of the Buckeye Union High School ceremony, after students were advised to exit the field, many can be seen in the district’s video lingering and hugging. And most of the graduates gathered for a group photo. “One of the photographers took it upon himself to do that—we had plans in place for (the graduates) to exit,” Godfrey said. “We stopped it as quickly as possible. It didn’t happen on our other (graduation ceremonies),” he added.

Dr. Carson makes a house call to Glencroft

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 24, 2020

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson wore a mask June 16 while visiting Glendale’s Glencroft Center for Modern Aging, which has been hit hard by COVID-19, with 35 deaths. The campus has around 900 senior residents; Glencroft says 91 residents had COVID-19 but have recovered. Glencroft continues to be a model of transparency/communication, providing frequently updated statistics on its website. Dr. Carson and Rep. Debbie Lesko, who represents the 8th Congressional District including parts of Goodyear and Litchfield Park, visited Glencroft to discuss the impact of COVID-19. Glencroft recently integrated a HUD

103 unit uninsured senior living building into its senior community. HUD residents have access to all restaurants; ZoeLife culture, including the Performance Center (full gym); University Room for continuing education classes; and all health and wellness programs, including the Parkinson’s Immersion and Stroke Immersion programs. Glencroft’s partnership with HUD provides housing and health care to some of the West Valley’s most vulnerable seniors. As part of Glencroft’s response to the coronavirus pandemic, a food pantry was set up for residents and staff to regularly shop for items needed. “While in quarantine, residents and staff had limited time and/or opportunity to shop, so we became their grocery

store,” said Scott McClintock, Glencroft’s chief strategy officer. He added a COVID-19 testing site was also set up on campus to expedite outcomes as well as dedicated isolation areas to treat infected residents. The visit by Carson and Lesko was a boost to morale, according to Greg Sexton of Glencroft. “Resident reaction was ap- United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben preciative of the time Secretary Carson, right, visits Glencroft Center for Healthy Aging in Glendale discuss COVID-19 and mitigation strategies the facility has taken Carson and Congresswoman Le- to to help is elderly residents.

Two local Spencer’s TV & Appliance customers were awarded major shopping sprees at its original location in Mesa recently. Patti Everts of Scottsdale and Richard Holmes of Peoria each won $10,000 to spend at the store for being its 4 millionth transaction.

In the same time period, Tolleson 85353 jumped from 399 positive cases to 646. (Just north of Tolleson, Glendale 85301 had 791 positive cases.) Litchfield Park 85340 increased to 182 positive cases, and Goodyear 85395 increased to 243 positive cases. Most of those who test positive have mild symptoms. The county reported 8% of positive tests have required hospitalization and 2% died. Of the 603 deaths from COVID-19 in the county, 70% had a preexisting, chronic medical condition. Half of Maricopa County’s COVID-19 positive tests have been in the 20-44 age range—but only 5% of them have had to be hospitalized. Though 10% of positive tests in the county have been under 20, only 1% of them have required hospitalization.

Avondale business leader makes ‘Top Women in Grocery’ list

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Angela Cavazos, Fry’s Food Stores adult beverage sales planner, was named

one of 2020’s “Top Women in Grocery” by Progressive Grocer magazine, a national food retailer publication.

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Liberty Elementary School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Liberty Elementary 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, 2020. The Liberty Elementary School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $ 300,000. The amount proposed above will cause Liberty Elementary School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $9.83. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $ 0. 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 July 13, 2020 at 6:30 p.m. at the Liberty Elementary School District Office, 19871 W. Fremont Rd., Buckeye, AZ 85326.

Cavazos, an Avondale resident, will be honored at the Progressive Grocer awards gala November in Orlando. For over three decades, Cavazos has served in multiple roles with Fry’s, including carryout, cashier, assistant frontend manager and store manager. She is now adult beverage sales planner for Fry’s 122 Arizona locations. “I am humbled and elated to receive this award. I know there are so many amazing women that I have worked with over the years, and to think of myself in that same category is truly an honor,” Cavazos said. “I feel fortunate to work for a compa- Avondale’s Angela Cavazos will be honored at the Progressive ny that encourages its employ- Grocer awards gala in November in Orlando.

West Valley cities wrap up budget votes

NEWS

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 24, 2020

Avondale, Buckeye and Goodyear are moving ahead to finalize budgets totaling $1.2 billion. (Images courtesy cities of Avondale, Buckeye and Goodyear)

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The West Valley’s three biggest cities are in the ﬁnal phases of approving budgets for the ﬁscal year that begins July 1. The total of the Avondale, Buckeye and Goodyear budgets: $1.2 billion. Goodyear’s budget is roughly twice the size of the Buckeye and Avondale budgets. Avondale’s population is about 88,000, slightly more than Goodyear (86,840) and Buckeye (79,620); Buckeye and Goodyear are two of the fastest-growing cities in the country.

On June 8, Goodyear City Council unanimously approved a 2020-21 budget of just under $600 million, with a “ﬁnal adoption” vote scheduled June 22 for the budget, which increases city spending by 15% over the 2019-20 budget. The Goodyear budget includes 27 new full-time positions, bridging the city’s workforce to 667 full-timers (plus 40 part-timers). Goodyear’s $599.4 million budget includes the operating costs for two new ﬁre stations.

Next year’s general fund budget will be $180 million. That includes $27 million for the Goodyear Police Department and $22 million for the Goodyear Fire Department. On June 16, Buckeye City Council approved a tentative $330 million budget —an increase of 15% from the current $285 million—for the coming fiscal year. A little more than 10% of the budget is for the police and fire departments. At its June 15 meeting, Avondale City Council approved a final budget of $280 million for the 2020-21 fiscal year.

Avondale council tentatively approved a budget in that amount May 18. The Avondale budget includes 625 full-time employees, an increase of 7% from the current budget’s 585 full-time employees. That was one of the driving forces of a budget that increased by 18% over the current year’s $236 million. The Avondale Police Department budget is $20.7 million, about double the Avondale Fire-Medical Department budget.

GAMBLE’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Thank you Editor: I would like to thank Ms. Chelini for her letter published in the June 3 edition of your paper, regarding new restaurants in Buckeye. However, Buckeye needs more than new restaurants. My wife and I moved to the town of Buckeye in January 2008. At that time the population of Buckeye was estimated to be 46,000. Also, at that time there were four grocery stores in the town— one in Verrado, two on Watson Road and one in Downtown Buckeye. As Ms. Chelini points out, the population of the now-city of Buckeye is estimated at 95,000, an increase of nearly 106%. Yet, there are still only four grocery stores in what is now the city of Buckeye. Additionally, there are still only four principal highways to travel from the city to other parts of the state. I can understand why the mayor likes to brag that Buckeye is the fastest-growing city in the United States (now second fastest), as it attracts more people to move here. However, the city’s assets have not improved in 12 years. I believe more could be done to grow the city, including infrastructure development and additional access roads. Hopefully, the new administration to take office in January will see this and take positive steps to improve conditions for city residents. Bruce A. Balle Buckeye

Get involved

Editor: If you’re concerned about the future of our state, fortunately there is something very easy we can all do to make Arizona a better place, and it doesn’t even cost money: sign a citizen initia-

tive petition. Citizen initiative petitions are how we, as people, get to make laws in our state, but they need a couple hundred thousand signatures just to get on the ballot. This is where you come in. The coronavirus pandemic has really hurt our normal ability to go out and meet people at large gatherings to collect signatures, so please look up Save Our Schools Arizona on Facebook and see where they will be collecting signatures near you. They have two petitions that are really worth your time. One is InvestInEd, which creates a much-needed dedicated funding stream for our public schools. The other is the Second Chances Act that focuses part of our prison system on helping rehabilitate people so they are better prepared to rejoin society. You really can make a difference on these and other issues with nothing more than a few strokes of a pen. James Wheatley Goodyear

Remember this?

Editor: Mr. Montenegro, do you really think we can forget? Lies and tactics so unpleasing—forget? Insults so untrue and defaming—forget? Personal innuendos—forget? Insulting our intelligence—forget? You had your chance. We don’t forget. Betty Lynch Litchfield Park

Our suffering country

Editor: Just what the American people did not need during lockdown or during

a pandemic. A televised murder at the hands of law enforcement. If anybody had a choice of what color skin they got to arrive on Earth with, I’d like to meet them. It’s so sad that the same scenario keeps happening over and over and centuries have gone by without our leaders fixing equal rights. It was bad enough for business owners to be shut down for three months; now violent thugs put most of them out of business in dozens of big cities. I’m glad somebody recorded George Floyd’s demise at the hands of police, but why didn’t somebody in the group, besides the three officers who did nothing, step in and pull the cop off of Mr. Floyd? The whole country witnessed a murder by police. I’m glad the Floyd family asked for their own autopsy doctor. The first was a cover-up. With peaceful and violent demonstrations of the magnitude we witnessed, it will be a miracle in two weeks if the pandemic doesn’t keep us shut down till next year. No social distancing and very few masks and tear gas, pepper spray, mace and smoke can all spread COVID-19. It’s amaz-

ing how many people were brought up to destroy property, loot, commit arson, and hurt people by throwing bricks and any weapon they could think of. It looked like nobody ever heard of the Ten Commandments. Guess who paid for and will pay for all of the destroyed police cars again? The governors should have announced a 4 p.m. curfew, not 11 p.m., and they all should have warned of a $10,000 fine and three months in jail, not letting those arrested felons back on the street in three hours. The governors and mayors knew from other riots that they should call the National Guard the first day, not a week after their cities are burned to the ground. Then, we have President Trump walking to St John’s Church near the White House and holding the Bible. He couldn’t go inside because it was boarded up. Every president since 1816 except Nixon has prayed at St John’s. The second it was President Trump, the bishop was upset that he stood in front of her church without her permission. The scene I saw showed President

Letters...continued from page 14 Trump standing on public sidewalks in front of the church. Does St. John’s own the public sidewalk and street in front of the church? Or, is Bishop Mariann E. Budde a staunch Democrat who hates Trump? If Trump would have rushed to put out the fire in the church basement, Budde probably would have accused him of setting the fire. My personal feeling is, if Jesus Christ stood in front of St. John’s Church and the bishop saw Him, she would yell, “Get the hammer and nails, boys, and nail Him back to the cross, ’cause He’s back.” Bishop Budde needs to apologize to President Trump for running to fake news to spew hatred toward a president who was trying to bring peace and trying to bring God into the picture, instead of violent destruction we all witnessed, even at her church. This bishop decided to show hate toward our president, and she decides who can pray at her church. What would Jesus do? Would He need Budde’s permission to be there, too? James Logan Buckeye

Care Act passed on or after January 1, 2014. Under current law, health insurance companies cannot refuse to cover you or charge you more just because you have a “preexisting condition”—that is, a health problem you had before the date that new health coverage starts. It’s interesting that those running for public office are allowed to lie without recourse, and that should be a hint as to how they will act in office. Virgil Warden Goodyear

Truthful?

Editor: There are a lot of words to describe President Trump, but “truthful” is not one of them. Even his ardent followers have to admit that this guy lies way too much. The Washington Post has tallied over 18,000 lies since Trump took office. Politifact scores his statements as 30% true and 70% false. Here are some of his recent lies, prevarications and falsehoods: June 3 tweet: “I gave Defense Secretary Mattis his ‘mad dog’ nickname” False—Mattis had that name years before, while in the active military. May 30 tweet: “During the White House protests, the mayor would not let the D.C. police get involved.” False—they were involved from the beginning, along with the other police agencies. May 26 tweet: “California Gov. Newsom is sending millions of ballots to people no matter who they are.” False—the mail-in ballots were sent to registered voters who requested them. May 26 tweet: “There are many unanswered questions about the death (in 2001) of a staff member of Joe Scarborough.” False—the death was investigated, and no illegal activity was found. May 11 at Rose Garden: “Germany and the U.S. have the two lowest rates of death (from COVID-19) per 100,000 population.” False—at the time the United States was 10th and getting worse each week. May 3 Fox: “Joe Biden has written me a letter of apology for calling the travel restrictions from China ‘xenophobic.’” False—Biden didn’t apologize and, in fact, did not say that about the travel

ban. Note: About 30 countries had already banned travelers from China before Trump finally did. April 13 White House briefing: “As president, I have total authority to reopen the states.” False—only the governors can close or open states. April 3 on Fox: “We inherited a broken test for COVID-19 (from Obama).” False—the virus was discovered in 2019, years after President Obama was out of office. March 18 White House briefing: “The coronavirus snuck up on us, very unforeseen.” False—White House staffers and the CDC warned Trump of the coming pandemic in January. March 17 White House briefing: “I’ve felt this was a pandemic long before it was called one.” False—for six weeks he called it no worse than the flu, saying it would magically disappear and that our 15 known cases would soon be down to zero. Note: Over 100,000 Americans have since died from COVID-19. Conclusion: the American people deserve integrity and honesty from their president. Mr. Trump is an amoral, self-centered, serial liar who is dangerous to our national values. He needs to be voted out of office. John Flynn Goodyear

Business Briefcase

BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

Gov. Doug Ducey’s news conference last week was dominated by discussion about masks, which also have implications for businesses. Did you know that Ducey has been requiring businesses to “provide and require employees to wear masks when possible” for more than a month? Last week, Ducey stressed that guidelines for businesses to reopen from May would begin to be enforced—though it was not clear who would be doing the enforcing, or how. Though his criticism was indirect, without naming businesses, Ducey was pointed in his words. Become a Published Author with Dorrance. We want to read your book!

“Arizona businesses also need to do their part,” Ducey said. “As we’ve reopened, there have been good actors. And I’ve said several times, there have been outliers. By and large, Arizona businesses have been terrific, but there have been more than an outlier here and there. “Serious changes are needed to be made, and there will be enforcement around those changes,” the governor said. His previous reopening order includes “Requirements for Businesses” to limit and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 by: • Promoting healthy hygiene practices. • Intensifying cleaning, disinfection and ventilation practices. • Monitoring for sickness. • Ensuring physical distancing. • Requiring face coverings when physical distancing is not feasible. • Providing necessary protective equipment. • Allowing for and encouraging teleworking where feasible. • Providing plans, where possible, to return to work in phases. • Limiting the congregation of groups of no more than 10 persons when feasible

and in relation to the size of the location. When businesses were permitted to reopen to the public last month, many focused on regulations for restaurants. However, Ducey’s order includes dozens of detailed restrictions for all businesses, including: • Provide and require employees to wear masks when possible. • Unless the service provided does not allow for physical distancing, businesses shall implement and enforce physical distancing requirements of at least 6 feet between employees and/or customers. • Maintain physical distancing of at least 6 feet in between tables, chairs or desks if in an open space. • Maintain clearly marked 6-foot spacing marks and/or signage along entrances, waiting areas, hallways, patios, restrooms and any other location within a business where queues may form or patrons may congregate. • Operate with reduced occupancy and capacity based on the size of the business location to accommodate 6 feet of physical distancing, with special attention to limiting areas where customers and employees can congregate. • Install barriers, rearrange or remove furniture, use signage to promote physical distancing, or provide remote opportunities such as delivery or pickup for consumers. • Close or limit access to congregate settings such as lunch rooms, employee lounges or break rooms, and other communal gathering spaces as feasible. • Implement policies and encourage teleworking where feasible. • Consider operating by appointment only to manage occupancy levels. • Post physical and/or electronic signage at building entrances of public health advisories prohibiting individuals who are symptomatic from entering the premises.

• Continue to provide options for delivery or curbside service if you provide business to customers. • Implement symptom screening for employees prior to the start of their shift. • Wellness/symptom checks, including temperature checks for all personnel, when possible, as they arrive on premises or before opening. • Employees who appear to have symptoms or who become ill while at work should immediately be separated from others and sent home. • Employers should not require a COVID-19 test result in order for employees to return to work and should consider waiving any requirement for a note from a health care provider. • Ensure hand sanitizer is available at or adjacent to entrances to the facility, restrooms and in employee work areas. • Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces, such as keyboards, phones, handrails and door knobs. • Avoid using or sharing items. • Instead, use disposable items and notouch trash cans and doors. • Wipe any pens, touchpads, counters or hard surfaces between each use by a customer.

Fairlife announces leadership team for production plant

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Fairlife has its senior management team in place for a 300,000-square-foot production and distribution facility in Goodyear. Construction on the facility at Cotton Lane and Thomas Road in the Palm Valley 303 business park near Loop 303 is in the final phases. Fairlife, founded in 2012, produces milk-based products “using a patented cold-filtration process that removes some natural sugars while concentrating the protein and calcium naturally found in real cows’ milk,” according to a press release. Neil Betteridge has been named senior vice president to oversee the Arizona plant. Troy Hancock will be his second in command as the plant manager. The facility is scheduled to open at the end of this year. Fairlife plans to fill 100 positions starting this summer. “We are on track to open our production facility in winter 2020, and we’re so thankful to our local partners and stakeholders for helping us get to the point where we need to hire key per-

sonnel to lead plant operations,” said Tim Doelman, CEO of Fairlife. Betteridge joins Fairlife with 22 years of experience in the food industry managing supply chains, manufacturing and capital projects. Hancock was with Shamrock Foods for 19 years, where he oversaw all aspects of the manufacturing operations on three campuses. “One of the things I’ve learned after being in the manufacturing industry for a long time is that it tends to have a high turnover rate if the employees are not respected and cared for,” Betteridge stated. He said Fairlife “invests in training employees and building a positive culture at the workplace—two things I sincerely believe lead to great employee morale.” Hancock said he is ready to start hiring: “I look forward to kicking off recruitment initiatives this summer that will give applicants a chance to get to know Fairlife better and experience firsthand what it’s like to work at a Fairlife plant.” For more information, visit fairlife. com.

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Buckeye Union High School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Buckeye 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, 2020. The Buckeye Union High School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $1,800,000. The amount proposed above will cause Buckeye Union High School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $26.52. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $4.44. 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 July 13th at 6:30 P.M. at Buckeye Union High School District Office at 1000 E. Narramore Avenue, Buckeye, AZ 85326.

Realtors aim to cheer up nursing home patients BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The West and Southeast Realtors of the Valley, now united under the name WeSERV, want to help make some nursing home patients’ lives a little brighter. The association asked people to write “be the sunshine in their day notes” for residents in Bandera Healthcare affiliated nursing homes in the Valley. “We are asking members of our association and the community to take a little time out of their day to write notes, letters, cards or have your children draw pictures for these patients who are in need of some sunshine,” spokesman Daniel Ochoa said. “Those who participate can bring their letters to any of our WeSERV locations to exchange them for a lollipop.”

A lollipop might not mean much to the giver, but what the giver brings could mean the world to the shut-ins. Patients have not been able to see friends and family members for months because of fears over COVID-19 transmission. The campaign will last through June, and at the end of the month, WeSERV’s Southeast Valley Member Engagement Committee will deliver the notes to 17 Bandera Healthcare facilities, which are located mainly in the West Valley, Mesa and Scottsdale. Artwork and letters can be dropped off at WeSERV’s headquarters at 1733 E. Northrop Boulevard, Chandler, near the Chandler Airport. “It is so humbling, gratifying and exciting to know we have members who

are taking time to bring a little joy to others,” said Dena Greenawalt, 2020 WeSERV president. “I love seeing their enthusiasm and commitment to this project. It makes me proud to be a leader for this organization.” Ochoa said there are a variety of things that people can create. “Share positive, thinking of you, thoughts in your notes and pictures— anything hearts, rainbows and unicorns, sunshine and happiness will help,” he said. “If it makes you smile, it’ll make them smile.” A Bandera spokesperson added, “Our residents need positivity, love and support.” WeSERV formed last year after

members of the West Maricopa Association of Realtors (WeMAR) and SouthEast Valley Regional Association of Realtors (SEVRAR) voted to merge the associations. Today, it is one of the largest nonprofit advocates of private property rights and a leading group of real estate professionals creating opportunities for homeownership. It counts some 24,000 real estate agents and other professionals in the industry as members. People who might need some ideas on what to make for the seniors can email the association’s member relations manager, Marilyn Zwick, at mzwick@weserv.realtor.

Boys and Girls Clubs have new protocols for a summer of safety and fun BY ERIN BRASSEY

West Valley View Staff Writer

West Valley Boys and Girls Club locations are open this summer to support their families, though with changes in protocol due to COVID-19. “It’s a relatively typical experience but with a lot more precautions and a lot more cleaning,” said Cassidy Campana, vice president of communications and external affairs. To start each day, members at all locations, including those open in the West Valley, will scan in as usual. Then they will wash their hands and have their temperatures taken. Any member or staff with a temperature above 100.4 degrees or visible signs of sickness will not be allowed to continue into the club for the day. For those who come in, they will be kept in groups of nine kids per activity and spread throughout the facility to adhere to social distancing requirements. Other protocols involve the members washing their hands or applying hand sanitizer throughout the day as well as frequent cleaning of the building and frequently touched surfaces. Maricopa County requires masks in public, as of June 20. With these protocols in place, she said, “We can be that place where they can have a little bit of school, have some fun, have some physical activity and be safe.” West Valley locations include Littleton and Tri-City West in Avondale, Louis and Elizabeth Sands and Swift Kids in Glendale. For the summer, youth programs for ages 6 to 12 are held from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., and teen programs for ages 13 to 18 are held from noon to 6 p.m. Fees range from $60 to $80 per week. Scholarships are available for qualified families for summer programming thanks to a grant from Valley Auto Dealers Association. Visit bgcaz.org for more information. “The fact that they stepped up with a

really significant $240,000 investment in financial aid is a game changer for so many families,” Campana said. Each club offers a nutritious breakfast and lunch with no additional fee. Campana said most programming and activities have been kept the same. These activities include but are not limited to academic activities, art, sports, recreation and science, technology and math (STEM). Campana said every club is a little different. They try to offer the activities that the kids in the specific club will be interested in. Two notable exceptions to regular summer activities are no field trips this summer and an extra hour of academic enrichment has been added to the day. “So many of the kids we serve don’t have internet at home, they don’t have computer access at home, and so if we can give them a couple hours a day of extra enrichment to keep them on track for the fall, all the better,” she said. Although the facilities are only operating at 50% capacity this summer, Campana explained that everyone felt it was important to stay open and continue serving their families who needed them. “Our parents have been incredible,” she said. “But for those who we rely on to keep us safe, we really felt like it was critically important that we stay open.” With the stress of the pandemic still in the air, Campana has been telling her staff how imperative it is to make this the “best summer ever.” She felt like they have all listened and said, “There are more fun activities, more theme weeks, more superhero days, more pajama days than ever. “The club is that safety net where kids come, they feel safe, they are with adults who care about them, they are with friends, and it has got a lot of structure to it,” Campana said.

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Litchfield Elementary School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Litchfield Elementary 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, 2020. The Litchfield Elementary School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $600,000. The amount proposed above will cause Litchfield Elementary School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $6.00. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $0.00 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 July 7, 2020 at 18921 West Thomas Road, Building A, Litchfield Park, Arizona 85340.

YOUTH

Offline and left out: Not all Arizona students can connect for remote learning

BY VELVET WAHL Cronkite News

The Buckeye Union High School District turned some of its buses into mobile Wi-Fi hotspots. Cox Communications has a program for low-income students to access free internet. And the state is seeking private donations to provide mobile hotspots for more students. All are seeking solutions to a problem many Arizona students face: lack of access to reliable internet. As of 2018, only about 82% of Arizona households had broadband internet, which is high-speed internet that’s always available, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. After the governor issued statewide school closures, educational leaders scrambled to make sure students could continue to learn during the coronavirus pandemic. Some schools relied on technology their students already had, and others found ways to provide devices – laptops, iPads, Chromebooks – to help keep students learning. But with fall semesters approaching, that technology also creates another hurdle for students who can’t connect. Although students might not worry about finishing their school work, the school closures created other worries

among some educational experts. Leaders with Expect More Arizona, a nonprofit education advocacy group, said they worry that the move to online classes will result in a widening of the achievement gap, the disparity between academic performance and different groups of students, because of a lack of internet access. “When we come out of this, we’re going to have a number of students, (through) no fault of their own, who are going to be left further behind because of the widening opportunity gap,” said Christine Thompson, the CEO of Expect More Arizona, “and we’re going to need to figure out how to provide extra services to support students, to make sure we get them caught up with the kids who were able to have those experiences online and, frankly, families that were able to support them and further their education in ways others might not be able to.” School superintendents in urban areas of the state have estimated that 80% of their students have access to the internet, while only 60% in rural areas have access, according to the Arizona Capitol Times. And even in Arizona’s largest, most-developed urban areas, broadband access is an issue. Numerous companies signed the

Federal Communications Commission’s Keep American’s Connected pledge, which promises not to terminate contracts if customers can’t pay their bills, to waive any late payment fees and open Wi-Fi hotspots to everyone, including Cox Communications. Cox, one of the largest internet providers in Arizona, also has opened numerous hotspots across the Valley.

School officials look for solutions The Buckeye Union High School District created a list of locations for the mobile hotspot buses that students

can connect to at parks and school parking lots. Avondale Elementary School District, which previously mailed home instruction packets, placed packets in student lockers for pickup because of a high demand for learning materials. Dysart Unified, Phoenix Union High School, J.O. Combs Unified and other districts are loaning laptops to those most in need. And many schools tried to spread the word about available resources, which include low-cost plan options, hotspot maps and special offers from service providers.

Based on the information currently available on the hydro geologic setting of and the adjacent land uses that are in the specified proximity of the drinking water sources of Valley Utilities Water Company Inc., A.D.E.Q. has given a low risk designation for the degree to which our public water system drinking water sources are protected. The Source Water Assessment Report is available at our office upon your request. Who do I contact if I have any questions about Valley Utilities drinking water supply or this report? If you have any questions about your water or this report please call (623) 935-1100 during normal business hours (8:00 am to 11:30 am & 12:30 pm to 4:00 pm., Tuesday through Friday, except holidays.) Monitoring your drinking water is important to us. Valley Utilities Water Company and the State of Arizona via ADEQ’s Monitoring Assistance Program, routinely monitors for constituents in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. This table shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2019. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling EPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants 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 healthcare providers. Environmental Protection Agency/Center For Disease Control guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land

or through the land, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radio active material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: • Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife. • Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming. • For public Pesticides and herbicides which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water run-off and residential uses. • Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water run-off, and septic systems. • Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring, will be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to insure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations, which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and drug administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public

health. Lead and Copper Health Information 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. Valley Utilities Water Co. 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 Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. Arsenic Health Information “While your drinking water meets EPA’s standard for arsenic, it does contain low levels of arsenic. EPA’s standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. EPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at

PUBLIC NOTICE high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.” Nitrate Health Information 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. Valley Utilities provided its customers drinking water below the MCL of 10 ppm during 2019. Attencion, hablantes de Espanol Este informe contiene informacion muy importante sobre su agua beber. Traduzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien. In this table you will find many terms and abbreviations you might not be familiar with. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL): The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology. Maximum Contaminant Level Goal (MCLG):

The level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety. Maximum Residual Disinfection Level (MRDL): The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants Maximum Residual Disinfection Level Goal (MRDLG): The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Treatment Technique (TT): A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Action Level (AL): The concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment, or other requirements.

Water Conservation Water conservation is everyone’s responsibility and there are many ways to accomplish conservation. Stay vigilant in finding and repairing ALL water leaks regardless how small. A small investment in repairs today will pay big dividends in the future. The following are a few simple ways to conserve water: 1. Install water-saving shower heads. 2. Many high water consumption problems stem from toilets which slowly leak water because of bad valves, improperly positioned float arms or defective overflow tubes. Use anything that will safely color the water in your toilet tank. After several minutes if you see that color in your toilet bowl you know you have a leak. Consider installing a high efficiency toilet (HET) that only uses 1.28 gallons/flush. 3. Wash only full loads in the dishwasher. Use the “light wash” setting when possible. 4. Water your lawn in the early morning hours or early evening. In many cases when you water your lawn in the heat of the day as much as 90 percent of that water can evaporate.

A note from the team at Valley Utilities Water Company: All of us at Valley Utilities are concerned about the quality and cost of our product, the water we deliver to your home. As we have all experienced the price of everything is on the rise and the cost of producing and treating the water we deliver to your homes and businesses is no exception. Although we pump the water from a deep underground aquifer, we constantly monitor for quality and treat for harmful constituents as they are identified by the agencies that regulate our industry. Not only is this the right thing to do and a requirement of the law but there is an even more compelling reason for our diligence, we who work here, as well as our children and grandchildren, drink and use this same water. Even with all of our testing monitoring and treatment, we also depend on you, our customers, to advise us if you notice any differences in the water such as taste, color and aroma, even pressure. We also depend on our customers to report any water leaks, not only in our transmission and distribution system but also for your neighbor’s homes and businesses. There is another area where we depend on our customers help. Please, call us if you see anyone, other than a Valley Utilities employee, working on water company equipment. Also, if you suspect someone is tampering with any water company equipment or on company property, call us any time day or night. Intentional damage to equipment or theft of water costs all of us money. Worst of all, intentional or accidental contamination of a water source or water lines could be devastating to people’s health and costly to all of us who pay for the water we use. With the aid of our customers, we at Valley Utilities will continue to deliver to your tap, dependable, high quality water, at a reasonable price. Thank you for your help in our ongoing effort, from all of us at Valley Utilities. Published: West Valley View/Business, June 24, 2020 / 31375
