Goodyear welcomes residents to new recreation campus BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

he wait is over. A long-anticipated recreation campus will open its doors to the Goodyear community on July 3. The two-story campus is 48,000 square feet and located at 420 S. Estrella Parkway, south of the I-10, on Estrella Parkway and Harrison Street. “There’s a lot of excitement, a lot of anticipation within the Goodyear community for this facility, and the opening is perfect, just in time for summer,” said Mike Beadle, Goodyear’s recreation superintendent. With the built-up excitement about the facility’s opening, more than 2,200 passes were sold in the ﬁrst month. Because of this and the anticipated memberships, the city is only selling passes to Goodyear residents. Those wishing to purchase a pass will have to provide proof of residency. The $75 pass covers the entire family for the remainder of 2021. “It’s honestly a really good deal,” Beadle

said. “Whether it’s one or 10 people, the $75 pass covers the rest of 2021, and that one pass gives you and the whole family access to the entire place.” Daily, monthly, semiannual, annual and 10-punch passes will be available at a later

date, pending availability and capacity limits. Pass holders will have access to the ﬁtness area, group exercise rooms, group exercise classes, walking track, gymnasium, locker

Avondale amputee raising funds for a new prosthetic leg BY TYLER WEGLEITNER West Valley View Staff Writer

aniel Aldana was driving his motorcycle in Chandler on April 14, 2014, when he was hit by another vehicle. Immediately, he was rushed to the hospital. “I just remember waking up in the hospital all bandaged up and everyone just cry-

ing around me,” Aldana said. The Avondale resident bled out once at the scene and twice at the hospital. He said that while he doesn’t remember much of the accident, he does recall the recovery and the uncertainty that came within the following days. “It was quite scary for my family and for myself,” said Aldana. “We didn’t know

exactly what was going to happen or what was going on and what was to come.” Despite the uncertainty, he said he had a feeling that he knew he would be OK and that his family kept him going. “I had a good feeling that it was just another accident, I was going to get better,

I was going to make my way out and honestly I had no sense of fear that I was going to be dead,” said Aldana. He went through 28 surgeries and lost his leg above the knee. Following the accident and his recovery, Aldana said he gained a new outlook on life, went back to school and completed his degree from Universal Technical Institute. “I knew that I was a different person coming out of the accident, so I had to go back and show who I really was and how capable I am of really being a great student,” he said. He said his parents supported his educational pursuits and encouraged him to complete his degree. In 2018, Aldana landed a job as a lift technician at The Lift Shop, which specializes in custom car and truck aftermarket product sales and installation. He said what he likes about his job is that instead of just repairing things, he gets to build them. Aldana doesn’t let the physically demanding aspects of his job get in the way. “That’s what made me want to seek

Todd Zubchevich is the owner of The Lift Shop. When hiring Aldana, Zubchevich said he wasn’t even aware that Aldana was an amputee. “It was kind of a surprise to everybody. … There’s zero difference between him and any other tech in the building,” said Zubchevich. He said that Lifted Trucks recently set up a GoFundMe on Aldana’s behalf, aimed at raising money toward a new prosthetic leg for him. “Between Lifted Trucks and us, we put in $2,000 to start it, and we had a customer who he’s dealt with several times walk in. He did $1,000,” he said. As of June 26, the GoFundMe has raised $5,390 of its $10,000 goal. Zubchevich said he hoped there would have been more of a community response. “It’s just been a little weird that he hasn’t gotten the response that I thought we would definitely get to help

Aldana said he does have a basic prosthetic leg for walking but that it doesn’t allow him to do many of the things he used to do. “Being an above-knee amputee, I was like, ‘This is my life now, and all I can do is walk. I can’t really do much.’ … At least with this prosthetic I’d be able to go snowboarding once again with my brother and not have those memories brought up but be able to make new ones,” he said.

Campus...continued from page 1 rooms and the aquatic center. Nonresidents still have the opportunity to experience the recreation campus by purchasing a $10 day pass. Additionally, the teen activity space, lounge area seating with public Wi-Fi and outdoor patio are open and free to the public. Teenagers can utilize the activity space for socializing, studying or playing with multiple gaming systems, including PlayStations, Xboxes, gaming PCs, VR and a video wall that displays the games in action. The space will provide free access to computers, gaming consoles and a variety of creative programs. Programs and activities will include live video game streams with Goodyear Stream Team, e-sport tournaments, e-sports leagues, teen council/teen ambassadors and teen nights. “We have a few schools surrounding us, including Desert Edge, so this is going to be a good place for them to come and have a place to do homework or play video games,” Beadle said. “We have all kinds of fun technologies out here for them, and this space doesn’t require a pass. It’s open to the public.” Past the front desk, a pass is required to access the first and second floors. The facility’s first floor has banquet and multipurpose rooms and the multipurpose basketball court. There are six basketball hoops on the court, as well as spaces that can be utilized for other sports. “We’re going to be using this for a bunch of different things. We’ve got vol-

NEWS leyball and basketball and pickleball that can be going in both directions, and we have a big curtain that drops down in the middle so we can have two different activities going at the same time. We wanted to be sure this was a fun open space,” Beadle said. Referred to as the fitness floor, the second floor is where pass holders can find the indoor track, fitness equipment and the group fitness class studio. All passes include group fitness classes. Pass holders can reserve a spot in class up to five days in advance by using the Goodyear Recreation app. Day passes also allow access to group fitness classes. The second floor overlooks the outdoor pool and the White Tank Mountains. Beadle said the views sell itself. “The track is one of the big features of the building, and it does have some amazing, cool views you can see while you make laps or while you’re working out,” Beadle said. During the Arizona summer, Beadle said the outdoor aquatic center is likely the facility’s most anticipated area. Equipped with two 27-foot slides, a lazy river, splash pad, a play pool and a competition pool, the aquatic center is

perfect for families looking to beat the summer heat. “The slides are going to be a huge attraction,” Beadle said. “We actually have timers on them so kids can race down the slides and see how fast they go down.” Outdoor food and drink are allowed in designated areas at the aquatic center, including the cabanas. Throughout the recreation center are multiple areas that are available to rent, including the 3,000-square-foot multipurpose room, competition pool, pool ramadas and half court of the gymnasium. Outdoor rentals include the picnic ramadas; multiuse fields; baseball and softball fields; and the courts that can be utilized for tennis, pickleball and basketball. The 30-acre community parks are open daily to the public from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. The recreation center is open 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays to Fridays; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays. “We’re all really excited about this facility and can’t wait for residents to experience it,” Beadle said.

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase

In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Avondale Elementary School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Avondale 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, 2021. The Avondale Elementary School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $2,100,000. The amount proposed above will cause Avondale Elementary School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $39.5755. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $0.0874. 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, 2021 at 5:30 pm at 295 W. Western Ave., Avondale, AZ 85323.

Startup invests in high-tech farming facility in Avondale

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

g-tech startup OnePointOne is expanding its corporate and vertical farming production facilities to Avondale The 50,000-square-foot facility in the Avondale 107th Industrial Park will be home to OnePointOne’s latest indoor vertical farm. The technologically advanced cultivation platform will utilize automation, AI and plant science innovations to continue pushing the industry forward. “We are on a path to fundamentally rethink how plants are grown, utilized and optimized,” said Sam Bertram, OnePointOne CEO. “We are thrilled to be bringing that mission to Avondale and adding to their growing tech community.” Kenneth Chapa, Avondale’s economic development and tourism director, said Avondale has quickly arisen as a desirable location for high-tech companies, thanks to its competitively priced real estate, proximity to major transportation, and skilled labor force. “OnePointOne is an emerging leader in sustainable plant production, and with our partners at the Greater Phoenix Economic Council, we are excited to welcome them to our community,” he added. OnePointOne’s proprietary vertical farming technology uses 99% less land and water than traditional agriculture. Also, the process is 100% free of pesticides, herbicides and harmful chemi-

cals of any kind. This new facility will act as the production hub for Willo, OnePointOne’s personalized vertical farming service. Willo gives members exclusive access to the farm and its tech through a custom mobile app that allows them to select crops, monitor growth and enjoy the bounty delivered to their door. The company will look to hire roughly 70 employees across a range of positions. “OnePointOne’s relocation is a welcome addition to Avondale’s burgeoning technology ecosystem and the latest example of innovative startups choosing the region to scale their operation,” said Chris Camacho, president and chief executive officer of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council. Sandra Watson, president and chief executive officer of the Arizona Commerce Authority, said OnePointOne’s selection of Avondale for this investment, which will create more than 70 jobs, once again demonstrates the state’s ideal attractiveness for technology and innovation. “We’re especially excited about the innovative business concepts that OnePointOne and Willo have to offer,” said Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise. “As a city whose history is rooted in agriculture, OnePointOne’s approach to sustainable farming is bringing farming back to Avondale in ways that stretch beyond the imagination. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.”

West Valley firework regulations differ

NEWS

BY MADELINE LEWIS

West Valley View Staff Writer

s Independence Day celebrations begin, cities in the Valley lift select firework regulations to allow for small displays. While the cities have differences within their rules, the overall goal is to keep everyone safe and to protect the community from fires. There is an important distinction between consumer fireworks and display fireworks. Consumer fireworks are those that are allowed for sale by state law. The stands and stores that sell fireworks are inspected by the city fire department to make sure all fireworks are legal. Consumer fireworks are those that stay on the ground and emit small sparks. “Technically, nothing can leave the ground, because once it gets in the air, you have no control over where it’s going to go. That’s when we have problems with fireworks,” said Annie DeChance, Buckeye communications manager. Fireworks that leave the air are display fireworks, and are only legal with a special permit. Many cities in the Valley are plan-

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 30, 2021

ning public firework events so residents can enjoy airborne fireworks in a safe environment. If people do still choose to use fireworks at home, there are rules to follow. “Be aware of the noise and do not use fireworks for an unreasonable amount of time. Be respectful of your neighbors,” Avondale Public Information Officer Lauren Evans said. DeChance added, “Keep your pets indoors and keep them safe. It is a very scary time of the year for them.” Also be mindful of children. Even small novelty items, like sparklers, are dangerous. “Sparklers can burn up to a thousand degrees Fahrenheit, which can cause terrible injuries to children,” Evans said. “You must be 16 years old to use any type of firework, including novelty sparklers,” said Tom Cole, Goodyear deputy fire chief. While using fireworks near houses, stay away from buildings and dry debris. “This year is especially hot, and we expect the excessive heat to continue until the fourth of July. Anything is going to

burn rapidly and readily, which can lead to the spread of fire to nearby houses,” said George Good, Tolleson fire chief. “If you use fireworks in the street, clear the debris right away. Dispose of them safely by placing them in water before throwing them away,” Evans said. Putting hot embers or firework remains in the trash can also lead to fires. Consumer fireworks are legal for purchase and use in Buckeye, Goodyear, Avondale and Litchfield Park until July 6. However, Tolleson has a special ordinance outlawing the use of fireworks within the city limits. “While state law does not allow the city to prevent the sale of fireworks, we are able to regulate their use,” Good said. “Our council did prohibit the use of anything other than sparklers or novelty items within city limits. Once they are purchased in Tolleson, they cannot be used in Tolleson. Though sparklers are allowed, no other consumer fireworks are allowed for use within city limits.” Fines for breaking any firework laws in Tolleson start at $250. Buckeye, Avondale

and Litchfield Park have a $1,000 fine. Goodyear has a few different rules regarding consumer fireworks. First, “it is prohibited to set off fireworks on public property. That includes sidewalks and streets,” Cole said. It is recommended that fireworks be used on the driveway on private property. In addition, there are restricted areas in Goodyear. For residents living within a mile of Corgett Wash, Agua Fria River and Estrella Mountain Regional Park, no fireworks are allowed at any time. The consequence for using illegal fireworks in Goodyear can go up to a $1,000 fine. However, causing an emergency response can incite more fines. “If somebody uses an illegal firework and hurts someone or something catches on fire, even on private property, that person has to pay all the fees for the emergency response required,” Cole said. “We just ask that everyone be safe, be aware of the fire dangers, and have a great fourth of July,” Litchfield Park City Manager Matthew Williams said.

500 blood donors urgently needed BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

ith the critical appeal for blood continuing in Arizona, Vitalant is hosting the Saving Arizona Blood Drive from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 3. The organization is hoping donors will come from around the Valley to Tempe Center for the Arts. As thank-you gifts, one of the 10 finalists for a 2021 VW Tiguan S will be drawn from the blood drive. Free tickets to a future Coyotes game with the purchase of an additional ticket for select 2021-22 games; voucher for a free Whataburger and Vitalant T-shirts will also be given out. Appointments are strongly recommended to ensure social distancing. Visit vitalant.org/saveaz or call 1-877-25-VITAL (1-877-258-4825). Blood drive cancellations forced by COVID-19 challenges continue to affect donation rates. The Independence Day holiday timeframe is the lowest week of the summer for donations. Vitalant has just a one-day supply of Type O blood on the shelves to meet the needs of 62 Arizona hospitals. Blood donors are urgently needed. “While donor vacations reduce the number of people giving blood, heavy traffic on the roads and highways in-

creases the potential for accidents and the need for blood,” said Sid Lewis, senior director of donor recruitment Vitalant’s Southwest division. While donors of all blood types are needed, Type O blood is in greatest demand because it can be substituted for other blood types in emergencies or when shortages arise. While O-negative is the universal blood type than can be given to 100% of patients, O-positive can be substituted for all positive blood types, which makes up more than 80% of the population. Unvaccinated donors must bring and wear a mask or face covering. Appointments are strongly recommended to ensure social distancing. Capacity in the building will be limited and monitored. Donors should arrive no earlier than 5 minutes before a donation appointment. Only people donating blood will be allowed access to the building. No guests or children.

Avondale offers safety tips for monsoon season

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

he city of Avondale encourages residents to be prepared for severe weather during the unpredictable monsoon season. Monsoon, which occurs through the end of September, is a season characterized by increased thunderstorm and lightning activity, high winds, dust storms and flooding. While the severity of weather can vary each year, the city recommends that all residents to have a monsoon safety plan and be ready for all possible occurrences. Avondale wants to remind residents to be monsoon safe. Below are a few tips and resources to help weather monsoon 2021 storms.

At home During any major storm event, the safest place to be is indoors. If you are at home, turn off all unnecessary power equipment and refrain from using landline phones. Make sure your home is equipped with flashlights, batteries, bottled water and nonperishable food items. Power outage information is available on your utility provider’s website. SRP: srpnet.com, 602-236-8888; APS: aps.com, 1-855-688-2437.

While driving Dust storms and rain events can decrease visibility and increase road hazards when driving. If you are in your vehicle during a storm, slow down and pull off to the right side of the road as far as possible and turn off your engine and lights. Be sure to take your foot off the brake pedal. Storms can also cause power outages to traffic lights. Approach any nonworking traffic signal like a stop sign. Traffic signal outage can be reported to Police nonemergency line at 623-333-7001 Never drive through flooded intersections or washes. Even shallow flowing water has enough power to sweep your vehicle off the road or stall your engine. If you approach a flooded intersection, safely turn your vehicle

around and find an alternate route. For more monsoon season driving tips from ADOT, visit azdot.gov.

When flooding is imminent Monitor weather reports and listen for potential flood warnings in your area. When flooding is imminent, knowing where to find sand and bags is essential to protecting your home and family. Prefilled sandbags are provided free of charge to residents and will be available at the Municipal Operations Service Center (MOSC), 399 E. Lower Buckeye Road and at all city of Avondale fire stations. Sandbag stocks will be replenished throughout monsoon season. Anyone with questions about sandbags should call public works at 623-333-4400.

To make a report If you are experiencing or encounter an emergency, immediately dial 911. To report downed trees, roadway debris, clogged storm drains or other nonemergency situations during normal city business hours, contact the public works department at 623-3334400. After-hours calls should go to the police department nonemergency line, 623-333-7001; public works crews will be on call and available to provide assistance during major storm events. For fallen trees/debris on private property or alleyways, place material for bulk/green collection, following the guidelines at avondaleaz.gov/bulk. Residents are also encouraged to download the Avi-Wise app and submit pictures and reports of impacted areas to assist the city with storm safety and recovery actions. The Avi-Wise app is available in the App Store and Google Play or online at avondaleaz.qscend. com/311.

Stay informed Updates will be posted on the city’s website, avondaleaz.gov, and emergency messaging will also be shared on city’s Twitter, Facebook and NextDoor accounts.

Avondale taps Evans for facilities director position

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 30, 2021

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

he city of Avondale hired Joel Evans for the facilities director position. In the new position, Evans will lead the newly formed facilities department, to meet the growing needs of expanding city facilities and property assets. Evans, who started as Avondale’s facilities manager almost six years ago, has been promoted to this new role.

Evans leads a team of five in this new department. He was instrumental in the construction of the police and evidence room expansion, the Arizona Complete Health Avondale Resource Center, the fire station and the new conference and visitor center currently under construction at the Civic Center Campus. Evans has proven expertise in mechanical, plumbing, construction, tenant improvements and preventative

maintenance throughout his career. “The competitive recruitment process confirmed Joel Evans was the right candidate to lead the newest city department,” said City Manager Charles Montoya. “His experience is an asset to the city as we continue to grow.” Evans has nearly 20 years of experience in property management. In addition to his former role as facilities manager for Avondale, he has held various

positions, including senior construction manager for BH Management, and worked his way up the ladder to facilities director at McKinley Inc., Commercial Property Management.

The water quality consumer confidence report, which covers all testing completed from January to December 2020, assures residents that their drinking water is safe and in full compliance with all state and federal requirements. This is the 15th year that the city has provided residents this report in a friend-

ly, midyear calendar format. This year, as the local economy rebounds from the pandemic, the city lends a hand to Old Town Avondale eateries by featuring many of them in the calendar. Residents are invited to visit some of these long-established, family-owned eateries located in the city’s historic core along Western Avenue, Central Avenue and along MC 85. The 2021 to 2022 midyear calendar provides photos of local food offerings, featured each month as part of the calendar. The pub-

lication also contains valuable information from Avondale Public Works highlighting water quality, conservation, recycling and the monthly bulk trash schedule. The annual water quality report is available electronically on the city’s website at avondaleaz.gov/ waterqualityreport. Calendar versions of the report will also be made available for pickup at Avondale City Hall (11465 W. Civic Center Drive, Avondale). Info: 623-333-4400 or emailpublicworks@avondaleaz.gov

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

JUDGE’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A bit of history Editor: For those of you who believe that Jan. 6 was worse than Sept. 11 or the Civil War and ad infinitum, let me tell you what happened on Nov. 7, 1983. A group of white communists formed a group labeled M19, which stood for the birthdays of Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh. Most of these people received their training at Berkeley and other prestigious universities. One of the founders, Democrat Susan Rosenberg, along with her Democratic cohorts, set off a bomb in the Senate chambers, hoping to kill many Republican senators. The damage to the chambers was more than $1 million. She, with others, was arrested, but only after robbing armored trucks and abetting a prison break. In 1979, they broke out of a Puerto Rican prison. Some of the group are still wanted by the FBI and are believed to be living in Cuba. They were all part of the Weather Underground. In 2001, President Bill Clinton pardoned Susan Rosenberg. She has since become an administrator and fundraiser for Black Lives Matter. So, you see a direct connection between the Clintons and a terrorist organization, BLM. Les Armstrong Goodyear

Defunding is disastrous

Editor: It appears the Arizona Republican Party has run itself into circles on its way off the deep end. A year ago, they were critical of protesters who had signs saying “defund the police.” Yet now, our state legislators Sine Kerr, Joanne Osborne and Tim Dunn are trying to sneak through a flat tax scheme that does just that — defund the police.

It also defunds fire and emergency services — at the same time more than two dozen wildfires are raging in this state. But there’s more to their madness. It defunds our roads and defunds our schools — canceling the voters who said a resounding “yes” to Prop 208 and Gov. Jan Brewer’s penny taxes in the past to show their support for education. How will this disastrous plan turn out? Look no further than Kansas. It’s a state that’s a deeper shade of red than Arizona and tried the flat tax scheme, only to watch its infrastructure and public services plummet. It got so bad, that ruby red Kansas voted for a Democrat in the next gubernatorial election and is still trying to fix the mess the Republicans left. But it’s been obvious for a while now that Kerr, Osborne and Dunn aren’t listening to the voters. They’re working to get their rich donors yet another tax break. How bad will it have to get before the residents of LD13 realize this and follow the Kansas cure by voting them out of office? Steve Truog Litchfield Park

Violence is never good

Editor: The Suns urged fans to behave after multiple fights broke out in the stands — finally. All this “Suns in 4” hype was initially greeted as something positive. Yeah, let’s taunt and verbally/physically abuse fans of the other team all in the name of team spirit. It’s cool! No, it’s not! I never understood why Booker gave Nick “Suns in 4” McKellar praise and gifts for violent behavior. McKellar was being praised for violence, and the Suns reinforced this behavior for days. Actually, maybe the media did also. McKellar became popular for violent acts in the name of team spirit. Now, there

are shirts being given out and who knows what else, with this logo that is based on violence. Everyone — the Suns, the media and citizens — should have immediately condemned that behavior, not fed it. Hopefully all that attention McKellar is getting will become negative. The message is that violence is never good. Mike Getz Goodyear

The cons of the PRO Act

Editor: There has been much discussion recently about workers’ rights. While we absolutely need to protect the rights of workers in the workplace, including the right to form a union, the bill in Congress that purports to advance workers’ rights does the exact opposite. The Protecting the Right to Organize Act (PRO Act) is, unfortunately, more focused on growing union ranks, at the expense of actually giving workers a voice in the process. Among other major changes, it would compel employers to hand over personal information to union organizers, includ-

ing an employee’s phone number or address. This is the kind of thing workers should be able to opt into, not be forced into against their will. Moreover, this legislation could chip away at the ability of workers to have a say in the unionization process and, in reality, does nothing to protect the right to organize. This is a completely misguided bill, and both Sens. Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema should oppose it. Estuardo Perez Phoenix

OPINION

Some thoughts on Arizona election audit WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 30, 2021

BY J.D. HAYWORTH

West Valley View Columnist

he “Washington Wise Man” earned that nickname because he saw things clearly, conveying common sense in the backwoods vernacular of his native Kentucky. When a cacophony of criticism would arise from the legions on the left — at once both enraged and entitled — the Wise Man would describe it thusly: “A hit dog hollers!” The Wise Man may have departed this vale of tears, but his rough-hewn observation lives on. It is hard to see the wisdom in the left’s incessant squawking and dogged insistence that thinking people should suppress any curiosity or concern about the tabulation of votes in the 2020 presidential election. “A hit dog hollers,” indeed. 2020 will not only be remembered as an election year; it will also be recalled as the “year of COVID-19.” Government policy and public health policy became synonymous. Our highest-paid bureaucrat, Dr. Anthony Fauci, became the de facto “dictator doctor,” advocating an unprecedented economic shutdown. The opportunity for voting by mail was greatly expanded, and with it, the opportunity for vote fraud. Press coverage of vote by mail in 2010 was skeptical. NBC News partnered with News21, a program headquartered at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, and posted an article headlined “The real vote fraud opportunity has arrived; casting your ballot by mail.” Ten years later, an even more partisan press, collectively incensed about Donald Trump’s presidency, offered glowing accounts of voting by mail, and those stories increased in frequency and stridency once President Trump offered the same objections found in many media accounts a decade earlier. “For folks on the left, it’s wrong until it’s right for them,” the Wise Man would say through the mists of memory. Fortunately for Arizona, the

name-calling and intimidation that causes hesitancy on Capitol Hill does not apply to our Legislature. Skeptical of reassurances from the governor that “We do elections well here in Arizona,” when complaints were lodged and discrepancies discovered, the Arizona Senate requested an audit of ballots in Maricopa County. The County Board of Supervisors at first ignored that request, then lost in court and has subsequently displayed unremitting hostility throughout the process. If they have nothing to hide, then what are they worried about? “An honest man has no need to dive in the briar patch,” the Wise Man would say. Meanwhile, the woman in charge of elections statewide, Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, has found herself amidst the metaphorical thistles and thorns of suspicion. The distrust has developed despite the best efforts of a partisan press to clear her path to the governor’s office in 2022. The most pathetic example came recently on CNN. Anderson Cooper sputtered frantically, conjuring up nonexistent charges of discovering bamboo in the fiber of Arizona paper ballots, then quickly admitting no such charges had been leveled while implying that some outrage was sure to develop. Mindful of his recent guest hosting stint on “Jeopardy,” Cooper ended his bizarre screed in the form of an interrogative: “What do you do in that case?” “That’s a good question,” responded Secretary Hobbs, concluding her own incoherent rambling with this malaprop: “There’s nothing going on here that lends any credibility to the outcome that’s gonna come out of it.” Other accounts have described Katie’s CNN appearance as a “meltdown.” Clearly, she was feeling the heat, because she invoked a hypothetical in a way that did her no favors. “There’s nothing that can be done now to overturn the election, even if the audit was valid.” The Wise Man would offer this response: “That dog won’t hunt!”

OPINION

Soaring violent crime rates are no surprise 12

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 30, 2021

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ West Valley View Columnist

s June winds down, we already have a shoo-in winner for the least surprising story of 2021: Violent crime continues to surge in this struggling nation of ours. How bad are we talking? Murder jumped 33% last year in America’s major cities. Meanwhile, 63 of the nation’s 66 largest police jurisdictions saw jumps in at least one category of violent crime — murder, rape, robbery or aggravated assault. So far, 2021 hasn’t been an improvement. The White House says homicides jumped 24% nationally in the first quarter of 2021 versus the same quarter last year. Father’s Day weekend was especially violent, with CNN reporting 10 mass shootings claiming seven lives across nine states. That doesn’t even count the June 17 West Valley shooting spree allegedly committed by 19-year-old Ashin Tricarico, who stands accused of 90 minutes of

drive-by gunfire that claimed the life of 67-year-old David Liebler and wounded a dozen other innocents. Our streets are so run with blood, President Joe Biden felt compelled to address the nation Wednesday, to announce a five-part “comprehensive strategy to prevent and respond to gun crime and ensure public safety.” The gist? A crackdown on illegal guns and rogue gun dealers, plus additional millions for local law enforcement, more money for community anti-violence efforts, more summer jobs and activities for teenagers and young adults and beefed-up programs to help those leaving prison re-enter society. Pardon me, please, if my response is somewhere between a gaping yawn and a sad shake of my head. All of the above — along with the academics who blame COVID-19 for this spike in violent crime — seems to miss what’s actually happening in our communities and on our streets. To borrow a cliche, our chickens have come home to roost.

I’m talking about the widespread disrespect of police officers and the rule of law that has been a dominant news story for the past year-plus. To hear many of our progressive neighbors and pundits tell it, every cop is a racist ogre or a perpetrator of systemic injustice so widespread the entire system must be reformed beyond recognition or dismantled to begin anew. The police are to be defunded, declaimed and derided — and certainly never respected. And the law? If it is enforced by the corrupt, it too must be corrupt. Thus, shouldn’t we excuse those who ignore it? Couple this neutering of law enforcement with an exponentially expanding sense of entitlement, a growing self-specialness that has permeated every aspect of our culture, and is it any surprise that Americans are quicker to anger, quicker to maim, quicker to kill, loot, assault, rape? Virtually everywhere you look and to whomever you listen, the narrative put forth focuses on the One Percent having unfairly gotten theirs, so why shouldn’t you get yours, whatever it takes?

Throw in a few hundred million guns of every caliber for good measure, mix in widespread mental health issues, and is it any wonder the nightly news and front pages frequently resemble an especially gory Tarantino film? Like every other complex issue facing our country, rising violent crime is multi-determined, driven by numerous interwoven factors — especially hatred of police. Stemming the violence will require more than money, summer programs and a few new gun regulations ardently opposed by half the nation. Just as we have had a so-called “racial reckoning,” we need to unpuzzle America’s love-hate relationship with its cops. We cannot damn police, then act shocked when criminals, emboldened, take to our streets to take lives and property. The only surprise about rising crime is that anyone is surprised it’s happening. The blue line, always thin, has been stretched to the brink of snapping. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com

Business Briefcase

West Valley View Staff Writer

espite the economic setback the pandemic placed on many businesses throughout the country, the West Valley is doing its part in making sure business owners have the best chance for success. The coronavirus certainly took its toll on businesses in the United States, as more than 200,000 businesses were forced to or decided to close their doors in the pandemic’s first year. Goodyear specifically has been working directly with local businesses to ensure it is able to be a supportive partner in navigating through such an uncertain time. The city’s economic development has continued that effort by introducing a new program to provide additional aid to

New program announced Goodyear launched a business assistance program that is set to provide personalized assistance to local businesses. The GYR Elevates program was created by the city’s economic development team. The program comes at a perfect time, as Goodyear was recently named “The Best City for Business” by the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The city designed the GYR Elevates program to educate and assist businesses in building customized solutions to become more profitable, efficient and competitive. “Everyone from our largest employers to our small businesses are competing for workforce, productivity and profitability, and we want to make sure they

are maximizing their business potential by taking full advantage of the programs and services our state and region have to offer,” Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said. The program’s first Advanced Manufacturing Summit event was June 17 at FLITE Goodyear, with nearly 40 participants in attendance, representing 12 of Goodyear’s manufacturing companies. During the event, Ron Jones, vice president at Sub-Zero Group Inc., was awarded the GYR Elevates Leadership Award. The award is designed to acknowledge exemplary leaders who have made a significant and positive impact in sharing the future of economic development in Goodyear. The event made it clear that major businesses are recognizing Goodyear as a strong

and strategic location to open their doors. “Locating in the city of Goodyear has been exactly what we anticipated when we decided to build our new manufacturing campus. The city is ready and willing to address our needs, and we tapped into a robust workforce, making this a location where our business can thrive,” said Jim Moulton, vice president and general manager of West Operations, Andersen Corp. Following the success of the Advanced Manufacturing Summit and the positive feedback received from the attendees, the city plans to replicate the event in the future and expand it to reach other business sectors. “We are keeping our eyes and ears open to stay ahead of the changing economic conditions,” said Lori Gary, Goodyear’s economic development director. “We want to showcase our targeted industries and elevate them so other like-minded businesses can see their success and choose to locate in Goodyear.”

Buckeye Union Hawks soar to nationals BY GRANT GREABELL

wasn’t quite sure of its expectations or capabilities. Its ability to work hard during the season is what separated it from the rest of the pack in the end. “The short year, with only two months to be able to get that time, is what is just so amazing,” Maddux said. “We put our heads together, and the kids worked hard. Coach (Storkel) handled the handoffs and I took the workouts. It all just came together like it should. The kids just really worked hard.” The team is proud of what it has accomplished so far, but realizes that it will need to run even better to find success in the national tournament. The upshot for them is that’s exactly what they’ve been doing all year. “Almost every other meet they were resetting the school record, which is really neat,” Maddux said. However, no matter the outcome of the tournament, Maddux, who is a track and field veteran, realizes that just the opportunity to run on Hayward Field at the University of Oregon is something to be cherished. “If they didn’t run their best time, yeah, they wouldn’t like it, but they’ll never forget being down on that field in that stadium,” Maddux said.

Litchﬁeld Park Santa leaves behind words of wisdom BY ALLISON BROWN

West Valley View Staff Writer

ally Putnam was an iconic figure around Litchfield Park, both as the town’s Santa Claus and as an active member of the community. His daughter, Debbie Jury, described him as “jovial, loved by all, and just a wonderful guy.” He said his well-known catchphrase, “Wherever you are, be there,” to many, encouraging them to live in the moment and be fully present. Putnam died May 21 and was jovial until the end. “I saw him a couple of weeks before he passed, and he still cracked a joke and gave me a hard time,” said Dan Grumbling, assistant principal at Desert Edge High School. Grumbling met Putnam when going to school with his daughters and became a close friend later in life. “I was early to something, and he goes,

‘Oh, you feeling alright?’ So, even as he was kind of losing his faculties, which we all knew that and he knew that, but he still had a sense of humor about everything,” Grumbling said. Putnam lived a full life. He served in the Air Force for 20 years; worked with AA for 37 years as a local, state and national leader; and acted as the town’s Santa for over 30 years. He loved sharing the things that made him happy, and Christmas was one of those things. It meant more to him than just giving gifts. Putnam proposed to his wife, Clara, inside a church on Christmas Eve in 1957, putting the ring on her finger as the choir sang “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” Putnam began his tenure as Santa in 1989 at The Wigwam, with Mrs. Claus by his side, reading “The Night Before Christmas.” This became a tradition for years, and he eventually became the San-

ta for Litchfield Park, riding into town on the fire truck at parades, visiting kids in school and sharing his joy. Jury said he was meant for the role. “He looked like him,” Jury said. “He looked like Santa and grew his beard out. Even until the day he died, he looked like Santa. He would walk around in November and go ‘ho-hoho’ when wearing a red jacket, and all the kids would light up.” Grumbling said Putnam would be at the grocery store and hear kids whisper to their parents, “Look, it’s Santa!” and he would just turn around and wink at them. He played into the role year-round. Despite always be- Wally Putnam and his wife Clara as Santa and Claus at The Wigwam.

Santa...continued from page 15 take everyone out to see “The Nutcracker,” according to Grumbling, who said “everyone” was about 35 to 40 people. Grumbling said it was something Putnam enjoyed and something that made him happy, and he just wanted to share that joy with others. Mary Boss taught preschool with Debbie and met Putnam through her. Boss said he was such a joyful man that he didn’t even need the costume, “he was like a real-life Santa Claus.” Putnam came to the preschool every year for more than 20 years, always seeing a new class of kids. Boss said he brought joy to hundreds of kids throughout the year. However, he surprised more

than just the kids. “A very dear friend of mine was suffering from Alzheimer’s, and Christmas had always been her absolute favorite time of the year,” Boss said. “I mentioned that the nursing home is so ﬂat, and he took it upon himself. He called and made the arrangements. I didn’t do anything. He called and said, ‘Hey, would you like a visit from Santa?’ They were thrilled. Then that’s all she talked about for the next year, is, ‘Did you know Santa Claus came to my room?’ It was a huge impact for somebody who had lived a beautiful life and couldn’t get out to the real world anymore, and couldn’t relate to the real world anymore. Santa Claus was the thread that made her happy again.”

Besides being Santa, Putnam gave back in every other way he could as well. He taught math at Litchfield Elementary and taught kids how to balance a checkbook and pay bills. He was a sponsor, mentor and leader in Alcoholics Anonymous. He was involved with the Kiwanis of Litchfield Park. “We’re all going to miss him a lot,” Grumbling said. “He was just one of those guys who tried all the time to make the world a better place to live in.” Jury said her dad would want to be remembered as the life of the party, the funny guy, a helper, and someone who never met a stranger. He was well known and well loved. Besides his main catchphrase, Jury said he passed down other words of wis-

dom. “Instead of ‘I love you,’ he would always say, ‘Be good to yourself.’” Putnam is survived by his three daughters Debbie, Kathy and Skee; six grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, not to mention the countless lives he touched spreading joy and cheer. “We’re going to miss him a lot. Hopefully there’s some sweet, white-haired, man ﬂoating around Goodyear or Litchfield that’s willing to be Santa Claus, because it’s a huge void without Wally,” Boss said. “Maybe somebody reading the article might think, ‘Hey, I could do that,’ and it would mean a lot to him. Nobody can replace him, but we can keep his memory alive and his legacy going somehow.”

Church and culture encounters of the 2021 kind CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph West Valley View Columnist

artoonist Gary Larsen inked quite a word picture in a cartoon. It is a picture of a big male deer with a target on his belly. Another deer looks at the target and says, “Bummer of a birthmark, Hal.” While we all feel like Hal from time to time, think of those in the church. It seems like Christians these days are on everyone’s radar scope outside of the church. Mainstream media (95% of the time) is condescending to anyone or anything that has to do with Christianity, faster than a speeding bullet. Many educators accuse churched people of being irrelevant and judgmental. In some cases, these accusations are true. However, one bad example is not all examples. The truth is that 95% (my guesstimate) of pastors and churched people are trying to make the world a better place. Are they perfect? No. Are they going to make the right decision every time? No. Do they walk on water? Hardly. Are some of these criticisms deserved? Yes. Here are a few thoughts to consider today for church and culture in dealing with the “Hal” in each other. 1. There is prejudice on both sides, the current pop culture and the church. Prejudice is being down on what you’re not up on. Narrow-minded people are like narrow-necked bottles; the less they have in them, the more noise they make in pouring it out. It’s like having bad breath. Everyone knows you have it except you. Tone down the rhetoric. Civility, not hostility. 2. “A proud person is always looking down on things and people, and, of course, as long as you’re looking down, you can’t see something that’s above you.” C.S. Lewis. Imagining yourself on the higher moral ground

blinds you to better ways above you. It also takes people to “the end justifies the means” behavior that is toxic to a functioning society. 3. “Never let me fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.” Ralph Waldo Emerson. There may be genuine victims, but playing a victim when you are contradicted closes the conversation. Eric Hoffer says, “Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil or the ugly in us but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.” 4. Activism, taken to extremes, becomes toxic and a one way street. Activism means keeping your foot on the gas even when it’s time to step on the brake. It’s more important to know where you are going than to get there quickly. Don’t mistake impatient activity for real achievement. 5. To our current culture, I say, don’t expect the church to embrace your “X” when God’s Word warns us about “X” and its detrimental effects on people and society. God wants us to have freedom from “X,” not just for “X.” It’s not about control. God is for you, not against you. You would do well to listen to a biblically based church. They’re here to be the guide by your side, not the sage on the stage. 6. Read this quote from William Ward carefully. It’s a great strategy for us in these tense times. “Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.” Doing the above will move you from rhetoric to reality and away from hyper pretenses that tear down, not build up. Maybe, if we glean some wisdom and tone down the rhetoric, we could even erase that birthmark on the two Hals of current culture and the church in 2021 and beyond.

Avondale church offers vacation Bible school BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

hrist Community United Methodist Church in Avondale has opened registration to the community for its annual summer vacation Bible school. This year’s theme is “Discovery on Adventure Island.” The church’s new pastor, Antonieta Fernandez, will lead this summer’s VBS program. After transferring from her Las Vegas church in 2020 to guide and develop more bilingual opportunities for worship and family ministries, VBS will be offered in English and Spanish. “This is absolutely free, No. 1. It’s all about adventures and how to find the Bible appealing for young kids, teaching them lessons that are just good les-

sons for living life,” said Mary Hollan, CCUMC’s worship director. “They’re going to have crafts; they can build things and take home things. There will even be a light lunch for the kids.” VBS will take place from July 26 to July 28, available for children ages 6 to 12. Hollan said the program’s theme is always exciting for the kids, and this year’s VBS will be filled with color and adventure. “It will be kind of similar to if they were actually shipwrecked on an island where they don’t have anything except a real pretty island and lots of palm trees and parrots. It’ll be very colorful in one room, and it will be all designed for their adventure. So we’re kind of giving them a little escape away,” she said. The church has been in Avondale

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Tolleson Elementary School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Tolleson 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 Tolleson Elementary School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $300,000. The amount proposed above will cause Tolleson Elementary School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $14.8341. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been -0-. These amounts proposed are prescribed by state law, if exclusive of any changes that for voter approved bonded overrides.

since 1937, according to Hollan. The congregation has just under 100 people. Its mission as a church is to connect and grow in Christ, with each other and with the community. “We actually believe that we can make a difference in the community by just doing the work of caring for the community. That’s our goal. We have programs, but if you were to ask us what our main purpose was, it is to disciple other people,” she said. Aside from VBS, the church has made it a priority to give back to the community they have been a part of for

more than 80 years. In 2017, the church partnered with St. Mary’s Food Bank to provide an outlet

YOUTH

Tuskegee Airmen honor local seniors

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

he Archer-Ragsdale Arizona Chapter, Tuskegee Airmen Inc., continues to honor and perpetuate the legacy of the famed Tuskegee Airmen of WWII. The chapter focuses on outreach to young people throughout Arizona and provides educational assistance to students in pursuit of their lifetime goals. The primary objective is to inspire and motivate youth to achieve success in a chosen career field. Emphases are placed on careers in aviation, science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) as well as other technological disciplines. In 2021, five scholarships of $1,500 each were awarded to Chris-Bien-nee Tsoumou (Cop-

Bible...continued from page 19 for food distribution in Avondale. During the pandemic, the congregation served 250 families twice a month. “The main reason we give back is because of our philosophy about what the church is. We believe that in the church, in the sanctuary, on Sundays is worship. But everything we do outside the walls is also called church,” Hollan said. During the pandemic, Hollan said it is important that the church focuses on children. She continued

per Canyon High School), Lucy Negatu (Phoenix Country Day School), Sara Thomas (Arcadia High School), Amaru Bond (Tolleson Union High School) and Laura Francois (North High School). Two of the scholarships were awarded in honor of Tuskegee Airmen Lt. Co.l (Ret.) Asa Herring and the late Lt. Col. (Ret.) Robert Ashby. Three scholarships were awarded in honor of the late Col. (Ret.) William A. Campbell. All three airmen had ties to Arizona or have families still residing in the state. The five students graduated from high schools in Glendale, Phoenix, Gilbert and Tolleson. They have chosen to attend the University of Southern California, Brown University, University

of Redlands, Tuskegee University and the University of Missouri. Their career aspirations include physician assistant, law, medicine/ trauma surgeon, agribusiness/law and biology/neurosurgeon. With the support of local partnerships, ARAC has averaged more than 40 public appearances and school visits per year while reaching all ethnic and socioeconomic groups. Over 300 students have attended the chapter’s weeklong Aviation Career Education (ACE) Academy each June, and more than 500 students have received orientation flights. Most notably, thousands of dollars have been awarded in annual scholarships to high school graduates in Arizona over the past 15 years. Info: aractai.org

to say she’s excited to see the kids back at VBS this year, especially after the pandemic didn’t allow for the program last summer. “We’re really looking to help families in the neighborhood who are just looking for events to continue to tutor their children and to teach some values,” Hollan said. Aside from the fact that it’s a free, fun activity for parents to get their children involved in this summer, Hollan said VBS will be an experience that will leave the children with much more. “There’s a connection that

we all need, especially at this time in the world, and that connection is that we’re worth it and that we’re loved and someone cares about us. They’re going to find that at this VBS,” she said. VBS will take place at Christ Community United Methodist Church at 104 W. Western Avenue in Avondale. To register, call 623-932-3480 by July 22. To learn more about the church, visit myccumc.com.

We want our valued customers to be informed about their water quality. If you would like to learn more, please Todd Allen at at 623-935-1100 contact Jason Long 520-431-7723. Drinking Water Sources The sources of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, 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, radioactive material, and can pickup substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. In order to ensure 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 (FDA) regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

Consecutive Connection Sources A public water system that receives some or all of its finished water from on e or more wholesale systems by means of a direct connection or through the distribution system of one or more consecutive systems. Systems that purchase water from another system report regulated contaminants detected from the source water supply in a separate table. PWS # AZ0407046, Liberty Utilities, provides us a consecutive connection source of water. PWS # AZ0407073, Tierra Buena Water Company, provides us a consecutive connection source of water. Drinking Water Contaminants Microbial Contaminants: Such as viruses and bacteria that may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife

We can make your phone ring!

Inorganic Contaminants: Such as salts and metals that 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: Such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses that may come from a variety of sources

F No

N Organic Chemical Contaminants: Such as synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and also may come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems. Radioactive Contaminants: That can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

Vulnerable Population 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. 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 health care providers. For more information about contaminants and potential health effects, or to receive a copy of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and microbiological contaminants call the EPA Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800426-4791.

Source Water Assessment Based on the information currently available on the hydrogeological settings of and the adjacent land uses that are in the specified proximity of the drinking water source(s) of this PWS, the department has given a low risk designation for the degree to which this PWS drinking water source(s) are protected. A low risk designation indicates that most source water protection measures are either already implemented, or the hydrogeology is such that the source water protection measure will have little impact on protection. Further source water assessment documentation can be obtained by contacting ADEQ.

Lead Informational Statement: Lead, in drinking water, is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Valley Utilities Water Co. is respoNnsible 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. 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 www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.

Arsenic is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentration and is linked to other health effects, such as skin damage and circulatory problems. If arsenic is less than or equal to the MCL, your drinking water meets EPA’s standards. EPA’s standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water, and continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic. 2 Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age.

Total organic carbon (TOC) has no health effects. However, total organic carbon provides a medium for the formation of disinfection byproducts. These byproducts include trihalomethanes (THM) and haloacetic acids (HAA). Drinking water containing these byproducts in excess of the MCL may lead to adverse health effects, liver, or kidney problems, or nervous system effects, and may lead to an increased risk of getting cancer. 2 Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water and is an indication of the effectiveness of our filtration system. We monitor it because it is a good indicator of the quality of water. High turbidity can hinder the effectiveness of disinfectants. Turbidity has no health effects. However, turbidity can interfere with disinfection and provide a medium for microbial growth. Turbidity may indicate the presence of disease-causing organisms. These organisms include bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.
