West Valley cities gearing up for 4th of July festivities BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

West Valley View Managing Editor

July 4 is a time of remembrance — a time to celebrate the founding of the United States of America. Now 243 years since the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, the nation to this day has continued to build upon the principles set forth by the Founding Fathers. But while Independence Day has its own historical significance, it’s also a time of fun in the sun, situated perfectly in the heart of summer — and the Arizona heat. Whether cooling off at a local pool, having a historical fireworks blowout, or just gathering to spend time with friends and family in a fun, outdoor setting, here are five city-hosted Fourth of July celebrations in the West Valley.

The theme of Avondale’s celebration is apt. With temperatures upward of 100 degrees, the city plans to bring back its Waterpalooza from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Friendship Park. Waterpalooza will offer guests the opportunity to cool down in the hot summer sun with free water activities such as water slides and a dunk tank. There will be plenty of other family-friendly festivities

phy, 36, of Staatsburg, New York. The remains were taken to Delaware’s Dover Air Force Base and subsequently identiﬁed in early June. The Marines just released the MEDICATION A information.

Resilard, 28, was pronounced dead soon after the incident. The weapons officer survived. The incident’s cause is still under investigation. According to published reports, Lt. Col. James R. Compton, the commanding officer of Marine All-Weather Fighter Attack Squadron 242, was relieved of his duties on April 22 for a “loss of trust and confidence.” The KC-130J’s cockpit voice recorder and digital flight recorder were also obtained in the operation and were sent to Naval Air Systems Command in Patuxent River, Maryland. will be fun activities and shopping for the whole family.

Goodyear

The city of Goodyear will bring a little bit of the Fourth of July to Goodyear Ballpark with its Star-Spangled Fourth celebration from 6 to 9:30 p.m. The celebration will feature live music, inflatable water slides, bounce houses, a zipline and carnival swing, and a 20-minute fireworks show. Guests may bring blankets. Parking and admission are free, though air-conditioned suites with allyou-can-eat buffets and nonalcoholic beverages for up to 15 people can be reserved for $550. For more information, visit goodyearbp.com or call 623882-3120. Goodyear Ballpark is at 1933 S. Ballpark Way. For a list of items allowed/ not allowed at Goodyear Ballpark, visit goodyearbp.com/ballpark-information/ballpark-policies.

Litchfield Park Over in Litchfield Park, celebrate the patriotic holiday at the recreation center pool from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Named Splash Bash, this event is sure to be a bash, with relay races, cannonball contests and greased watermelon polo. Activities have also been expanded to the library lawn, and include face painting, giant lawn games, cornhole, sack races and a kids’ water slide. A family-friendly affair, kids can win prizes and take home patriotic mementos. Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty will even make a special appearance. This year’s event is a partnership with Estrella Gymnastics, Kiwanis Club of Litchfield Park and local Realtor Anne King of West USA Realty. The public event costs $2 per person,

but those with a valid Litchfield Park pool pass can get in for free. Children younger than 3 years old will be admitted free. Various vendors in the north parking lot will also sell food and beverage. Admission is not required to purchase from vendors. The recreation center is at 100 S. Old Litchfield Road. For more information, call 623-935-9040 or visit litchfield-park.org.

Tolleson The city of Tolleson will host family-friendly musical entertainment by the People Who Could Fly Band at its own Fourth of July celebration, which is from 4 to 9:30 p.m. at Veterans Park. Adults can also stuff their faces via a hotdog-eating contest, while kids ages 6 to 12 can partake in a watermelon-eating contest and teens just a bit older, ages 13 to 17, can duke it out in a pepperoni pizza-eating contest. Pre-registration is recommended, as there is a limit of 10 people per contest. To register, should space still be available, visit tollesonaz.org/events. City staff will also cut and pass out slices of watermelon donated by Rousseau Farming Company. Arguably the moment everyone will be on the lookout for, however, a fireworks show will close out the evening at 9 p.m. It is recommended that guests bring blankets and chairs. Veterans Park is at 8601 W. Van Buren Street. Parking will be available at City Hall and the 91st Avenue and Van Buren Street parking lots. Shuttle services will be provided to Veterans Park.

Vitalant seeking Littleton School District to destroy special education records blood donors around 4th of July BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Vitalant is urging blood donors to roll up their sleeves in support of patients around the Independence Day holiday. Independence Day is the most difficult time of the summer to maintain Arizona’s blood supply. So, to make it convenient for residents to donate, Abrazo West Campus, 13677 W. McDowell Road, Goodyear, has scheduled a blood drive with Vitalant. Abrazo West will accept donors from 7 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, July 9, in the second-floor conference room. CantaMia Active Adult Community, 17700 W. Star Point Drive, Goodyear, has also scheduled a Bloodmobile from 8 a.m. to noon Friday, July 5. And Goodyear has a donor center at 14270 W. Indian School Road. It is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays, and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. While donor vacations typically reduce the number of people giving blood this time of year, heavy traffic on the highways increases the potential for accidents and the need for blood. Leading into the holiday week, supplies have fallen 50% below required levels for O-negative and O-positive blood — the universal blood types that are needed in emergency, trauma and shortage situations. While all blood types are needed, the greatest demand is for donors with these blood types. “In addition to the typical summertime drop in donations, fewer donors are available because of the upcoming Fourth of July holiday,” said Sid Lewis, senior director of donor recruitment for Vitalant’s Southwest division. “This holiday week, celebrate by giving blood and doing something good for others — and yourself.” Vitalant is the nation’s second-largest community blood service provider, supplying comprehensive transfusion medicine services for nearly 1,000 hospitals and health care partners for patients in need across 40 states. Vitalant inspires local communities to serve the needs of others and transform lives through the selfless act of donating blood. Every day, almost 5,000 blood donations are needed to meet the needs of people throughout the country, and Vitalant’s 780,000 donors supply 1.8 million donations a year. In addition to blood products, Vitalant offers customers transfusion services, medical consulting, quality guidance, ongoing education, research and more.

The Littleton Elementary School District in Avondale will destroy all special education records of former students who discontinued special ed-

ucation services, withdrew, transferred or graduated in 2013. Parents who wish to view their children’s records before they are destroyed must call the Exceptional Student Services at 623-478-5682 before September 1. The Littleton Elementary School District is located at 1600 S. 107th Avenue, Avondale.

Board of Supervisors OKs FY 2020 budget

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 3, 2019

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

With a new decade on the horizon, the nation’s fastest-growing county is aiming to make smart investments to further position itself as an attractive, long-term home for families and businesses. Late last month, the Board of Supervisors approved a final budget of $2.57 billion for fiscal year 2020. The tentative budget was previously approved May 20, and followed by a month-long public comment period. “This fiscally responsible and sustainable budget keeps the tax rate steady for our residents while investing in the kinds of technology and infrastructure that works to serve citizens better,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates, District 3. “These investments include strengthening public safety, improving the voter experience, preserving and enhancing our open space, and utilizing technology and process improvement to save money and make our county government more efficient while providing better service. I am grateful to my colleagues on the board and to all departments for budgeting in a way that

plans for, and protects, the future.” With the 2020 elections approaching, the budget reserves funding for updated elections equipment that is expected to increase the speed with which votes can be counted. Improved technology is one piece of a larger discussion about the future of elections in Maricopa County. “Making our elections the best they can be is a priority of every person on this board,” said Vice Chairman Clint Hickman, District 4. “Modern, reliable equipment is essential for a county of our size so we can efficiently handle the potential record number of voters participating in our democracy in the 2020 elections and beyond.” Recent numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau show Maricopa County added 81,244 people between July 2017 and July 2018, the most of any county in the nation. The FY 2020 budget allocates $296.9 million for capital improvement projects which will modernize the infrastructure needed to support that growing population. Those projects include

Law ﬁrm releases names of 5 former WV priests accused of abuse BY TANNER PUCKETT Cronkite News

Attorneys with Jeff Anderson & Associates recently released a report containing the names, photos and information of 109 clergy accused of sexual abuse in the Diocese of Phoenix. The 65-page report includes five priests who at one point worked at churches in Avondale, Buckeye and Tolleson. “It is time for transparency, and it is time for disclosure,” said Jeff Anderson, whose law firm advocates for victims of clergy sexual abuse. “The reason why we are here today and disseminating this information is because there has not been a full accounting by the Catholic diocese in Phoenix of all the names that should have been disclosed by the Catholic bishops, past and present.” The report includes assignment histories and details of accusations. Also included are those who were assigned to or living within the Dioceses of Gallup and Tucson before the formation of the Diocese of Phoenix in 1969. The law firm’s compendium — the first of its kind in Arizona — includes 40 clergy members who are not on the lists of credibly accused priests that are posted on the websites of the Dioceses of Phoenix, Gallup and Tucson. It also includes information that’s not available through the dioceses, such as charges filed against the priests and their current whereabouts. Among the 109 clergy in the document are five priests who worked in the West Valley. Father Harold P. Graf worked at St.

Henry in Buckeye in 1981. The alleged abuse occurred around 1978 while he worked at St. Paul in Phoenix. He was permanent barred from ministry in 2002. He is currently believed to be living in Phoenix. Father Wilputte Alanson “Lan” Sherwood worked at St. Henry in Buckeye from 1983 to 1985. The alleged abuse occurred around 1987 while he worked at St. Benedict in Chandler. In 1993 he was sentenced to 10 years in prison. He died in 2018. Father Patrick O. Colleary worked at St. Henry in Buckeye from 1986 to 1991. The alleged abuse occurred in 1978 while he worked at Holy Spirit in Tempe. He is currently believed to be living in Lockport, Illinois, but his status as a priest is unknown. Father Saul Madrid worked at St. Henry in Buckeye from 1992 to 1995. The alleged abuse occurred around 1987 while he worked at Saints Simon and Jude Cathedral in Phoenix. He is

believed to be living in Tempe, but his status as a priest is unknown. Father Paul LeBrun worked at Saint John Vianney in Avondale from 1987 to 1990, and Blessed Sacrament in Tolleson from 1991 to 1993. He was convicted in 2005 of abuse at both churches. He was also accused of abuse from 1979 to 1986 while he worked at St. Therese Little Flower in South Bend, Indiana. He is still in prison. According to the report, inquiries with the Diocese of Phoenix began in 2002, when a Maricopa County grand jury launched an investigation relating to sexual misconduct by diocesan personnel. The grand jury’s investigation found no credible evidence of former Bishop Thomas J. O’Brien’s direct involvement in sexual misconduct, but it deemed he failed to protect victims. Such investigations have intensiﬁed across the nation over the past year, sparked by the 2018 Pennsylvania grand jury report that led to the conviction of

more than 300 Roman Catholic priests in the state and uncovered more than 60 years of coverups by church leaders. Arizona passed a law in late May that allows survivors of child sex abuse an additional 10 years to sue their abusers. Previously, survivors had until age 20 to bring charges. Former speed skater Bridie Farrell was also present during the report’s release, and talked about the bill. Farrell has become an advocate for sexual abuse victims, after she herself was abused as a teenager by a former teammate. Farrell spoke about the impact of the new law in conjunction with the new report. “I’ve learned a lot about your state since I’ve been here, including your ﬁve C’s. I think you should add a sixth, and that’s compassion,” Farrell said. “We’re going to see a groundswell of strength and courage from Arizona voices who are going to come forward, and it’s going to make it safer for everyone.” Speakers emphasized that the report allowed survivors of abuse in Arizona to access a database so they can do their own analysis. Former Catholic priest Patrick Wall said that, although the report focused on the diocese, it should be seen as a window into institutional responses. “This is not just about the Catholic Church. This is about institutional response to childhood sexual assault,” Wall said. “You can see how the patterns and practices work.” According to the Survivor Network of those Abused by Priests website, 20 states are pursuing active investigations that feature hotlines or online services for reporting clergy-related abuse. Arizona is not one of them. Survivor and network president Tim Lennon said he has contacted the Arizona attorney general by email and in person about starting an investigation in the state, which would include the creation of a dedicated hotline. “Hotlines are more accessible. There’s less sharing,” Lennon said. “It’s also easy. It relieves some of the responsibility of hiring an attorney.” The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops voted in early June to create a national hotline where survivors can report clergy-related sexual abuse. The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network has featured a conﬁdential national hotline since 1994. The number is 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

Avondale Mayor Kenneth Weise and Tolleson Mayor Anna Tovar have been selected as at-large members on the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG). Developing a transportation plan that will serve the Maricopa region for the next 20 years is a primary goal of the new MAG chairman, Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell. The other at-large member is Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego. Queen Creek Mayor Gail Barney will serve on the executive committee as past chairwoman. As Mitchell accepted the gavel, he said a major focus will be on development of the next long-range transportation plan. “I believe we have a great opportunity, as we move toward a new regional transportation plan, to serve as champions for the extension of Prop 400. The economic benefits of these transportation investments are critical to the future of our region,” he said. Other priorities for the year ahead

will be to build upon the work of MAG on issues of homelessness, domestic violence and aging. Also during the annual meeting, Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers was elected to serve as chairman of the MAG Transportation Policy Committee, and Gallego was elected vice chairwoman. Officers are elected for one-year terms. Mitchell will lead the organization for the next year and will preside over the MAG executive committee. The executive committee serves as MAG’s finance committee and holds many administrative responsibilities, such as amendments to the budget and contract selections. MAG is a council of governments and metropolitan planning organization that provides a regional forum for discussion, analysis and resolution of regional issues, including transportation, air quality, economic development and human services. MAG prepares the 20-year long-range transportation plan and five-year transportation improvement program for the region. Founded in 1967, MAG celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2017.

American Legion Post 53 in Buckeye held its flag retirement event, with the assistance of Troop 263. Built in March as part of local student Jack Warner’s Eagle project, the brick fire pit retired more than 100 flags at the ceremony. State Sen. Sine Kerr made welcome remarks and thanked those who have served in the military. The event featured a free ice cream social, a bakeoff hosted by the VFW Auxiliary 12098 from Buckeye, and Blue Star Moms of the Southwest Val-

ley’s potato bake. The Valor Belles sold glow sticks and the National Guard provided an inflatable jousting pit. Funds raised by the nonprofits will support their service projects. Those who have tattered flags to retire are welcome to drop them in a box made by Warner at Post 53. Post 53 is home to a variety of public, family-friendly events and dinners throughout the year. For more information, call 623-327-0227 or message “American Legion Auxiliary Hazelton Butler” on Facebook. Post 53 is located at 402 E. Narramore Road in Buckeye.

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Abrazo West Campus just completed the hospital’s annual Healthy Over Hungry Cereal Drive, donating boxes of cereal totaling an equivalent of nearly 4,500 servings to local food banks. Hospital employees, volunteers and physicians contributed to the cereal drive, as well as many community members including Buckeye’s community services department. Cereal donations will benefit the Agua Fria and All Faith Community Services food banks. “We appreciate everyone’s support and contributions to our annual cereal drive. It means so much to be able to help families in need who may rely food banks for help during the summer

break when children aren’t in school participating in school breakfast and lunch programs,” said Christina Oh, chief executive officer, Abrazo West Campus. Wholegrain cereal, when part of a healthy, balanced breakfast including dairy, fruit and lean protein, is a popular food item that experts say can easily address the hunger gap during the summer months when children are not in school. The Healthy Over Hungry Cereal Drive is supported by Abrazo Health’s parent organization, Tenet Healthcare, which last year collected some 5 million servings of cereal and donated $380,000 through the efforts of its facilities across the United States.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

America no longer the greatest country Editor:

Any society is judged by how it treats its least fortunate beings. Well, I am not optimistic about how America is being judged today. Values now are, at best, novelties that are vestigial relics of the past. We no longer can trust a presidential administration with a leader who is telling, at last count, over 11 or 12 lies a day. We have a leader who we cannot trust what he says and what he is going to do as he continuously changes his mind and regurgitates innumerable inconsistencies in his messages, most of which are bald-faced lies. The latest is his claim that President Obama installed the cages at the border where there are young children being, for lack of a better word, tortured with inhumane and deplorable conditions. This is as audacious a lie that has emanated from his lips. This is leadership by the seat of the pants, and as we can no longer rely on the messages from the White House, our credibility with our allies has crumbled into the dustbin of diplomacy. Now, I know all presidents have lied at one time or another. What is most disturbing is we are allowing this and have now become so inured to this hubris that it has become normalized behavior that we now not only tolerate, but condone. If we continue to allow this gross mismanagement to continue, we will have no one to blame but ourselves for the rapid deterioration of our society. The United States of America has been a great country before and maybe we will be the greatest country again. But, and this hurts, we are not the greatest country in the world right now. Let’s not allow Roman history to repeat itself here. Because that is the path we are on. David Compton Litchﬁeld Park

Seniors are lazy Editor:

Living in a 55-plus, active-adult community, I hear a lot of health issues. Could it be that people don’t get enough exercise? The only exercise some people get is walking down their driveway to pick up the newspaper, walking back to the house, sitting for two hours reading the paper, and then watching the daily soaps on TV. Playing golf is not an exercise when you drive a golf cart to every hole. Walk the 18 holes; it’s a real exercise. Eating bonbons and watching the cleaning person clean your little house is not a good way to exercise. With postage-size lots, why have a landscaper? Do some yard work yourself. It’s a good exercise. You will feel great and you’ll save money. Paying someone to service your pool, adding chemicals and racking out ﬂoating debris; how hard is that? Taking your card to the car wash; do it yourself. It’s a great way to get a good workout, plus the paint on your car will last a lot longer. Driving to the mailbox; not good. Walk to pick up your mail. Walking your dog while you sit in your golf cart is not a good thing; the poor dog gets overworked. How hard is it to wash a few windows in your little houses? You might have to use a stool to reach the top of the window, but think how good you will feel when you get done. Now, the latest lazy thing is online shopping to buy your groceries, and then driving down to pick them up. But if you are real lazy, the stores will now deliver them to you. How lazy is that? Now, with the advent of autonomous cars, all these lazy people will be buying these cars so they can relax while going out to get more bonbons. And last, but not least, taking selfies for Bragbook is definitely not an exercise. Come on, people. Get up and do something. Well, whoop dee doo. Larry Ruvido Buckeye

Two questions Editor:

I just want two questions answered. Has Bernie Sanders given up his Senate health care program for Medicare? Do all government employees know they have to give up their great health care programs? If so, they will vote Republican. Bob Derks Buckeye

Medicare for All a hollow promise Editor:

Medicare for All is a hollow promise. The biggest drains on the government are Medicare and Social Security. They are always looking for

Corrections In the July 26 cover story “EMCC names new president as nationwide search ends,” it should have said Dr. Rey Rivera became vice president of learning in 2016.

ways to trim it. Canada and the United Kingdom have socialized health care, and their tax rate is 47%. It has to be paid for. There are quotas and delays when dealing with a large population. My brother-in-law in England waited two years for a bone fusion in his foot. There are more Quebec cars at Maine Medical Center than Maine cars. You only have to go to Yuma in mid-winter to see the hordes of Canadians crossing the border to Mexico for health care to see what is wrong with their system. Do we really want that? Mary B.

OPINION

Social media generating too much anger in us WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 3, 2019

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ West Valley View Columnist

Sometimes the news and life intersect in strange ways. Last weekend, I bore witness to an epic screaming matching on the golf course, a skirmish between two fat old guys over pace of play that would have surely turned into an aggravated assault with nine irons had their playing partners not separated the profane combatants. A few days later, what should appear in my news feed but the latest NPRIBM Watson Health poll headlined, “Americans Say We’re Angrier Than a Generation Ago.” Some 84% of the poll’s 3,004 respondents said they think Americans are angrier than we were a generation ago. I’ll second that motion. By furiously smashing my fist on the kitchen table. The rage that seems to have taken hold across this land of ours is an interesting phenomenon — in large part because we appear to have few legitimate reasons to be so ticked. Take, for example, the violent crime rate in America compared to a generation ago. In the mid-1990s, for every 100,000

life. For many Americans, it’s always there, surrounding us, influencing our environment, our mental and emotional state, our days and nights. I don’t know about your digital “friends,” but many of mine alternate between feuds and nonstop flaunting. I have noticed a direct correlation between avoiding social media — and the news — and an improvement in my mood. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the poll: The younger the respondent, the angrier their answers. Emailers often tell me the opinions expressed in this column stem from a raging case of “old guy disease,” defined as 50-something crankiness and wanting everyone to get the hell off your lawn. The poll says the opposite is true; the older you get, the more peaceful you become. Meanwhile, millennials appear to be the angriest generation in history. Though I guess I’d be angry too if I grew up taking a selfie an hour and listening to that tripe they call music. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

Flaws with BLM’s target shooting microsites WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 3, 2019

BY BILL SANSOM Guest Columnist

I am an NRA-certified range safety officer, and a volunteer out at the Joe Foss Shooting Complex. I am a member of the Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association. I am a former national Hunter Safety Course-certified instructor. I have hunted and used firearms for the past 65 years. I am a disabled, retired (due to gunshot wounds received while on duty) deputy sheriff from the Mineral County Sheriff’s Office in Montana. I have been a freelance outdoor/hunting magazine writer for the past 30 years, with over 200 articles published in national magazines. I know what I am talking about when it comes to responsible and ethical firearm handling and use. I live in the Westpark neighborhood just south of the so-called BLM target shooting range on the Tonopah Salome Highway, and am within stray bullet distance. I strongly advocated for the closure of that site. I am so glad BLM finally came to their senses and closed the site. Sadly, it took the death of a young woman, Kami Gilstrap — and her unborn baby — who was struck and killed by a stray bullet while recre-

ating with her family and friends nearly a mile away, to generate enough of an outcry to close the site. Even if BLM wants to forget about that day and take no responsibility for concentrating the shooters and creating the mess that led to 24/7 gunfire and Tannerite explosions, and eventually to Kami’s death. I remember hundreds of shooters were out there that day. Tens of thousands of rounds were being fired in all directions. Medical first responders and law enforcement on scene reported bullets whizzing around them as they tried to determine how Kami Gilstrap was killed. One person who had recently returned from military service in Iraq was there with a news crew. He stated that he was more concerned about being shot that day than when he was in combat in Iraq. Since Kami’s death, but prior to the final closing of the BLM target shooting area, the Buckeye Police Department and Maricopa County Sheriff Office made numerous felony arrests and resolved several felony cases of people who continued to shoot in that

area. Now, before BLM has made any effort to clean up the landﬁll and the potential EPA superfund site they created on Tonopah Salome Highway, they want to create four more landﬁlls they naïvely call “recreational shooting microsites.” BLM correctly states 97% of the BLM land is open to public recreational shooting. With the development of the four microsites, the rest of that BLM land will still remain open to recreational shooting. If recreational shooting were prohibited on the rest of the BLM land after the microsites were developed, then it would make sense. But without that prohibition, and the enforcement of it, the BLM recreational shooting sites are no more than just a waste of taxpayer dollars. Concentrate the shooter garbage and the irresponsible, unsafe and illegal activity to the microsites, and leave the other 97% of BLM land to the 97% of the public that recreate, in other ways, on those lands. The fact is most BLM land is restricted to public use. You can’t camp on BLM land for extended time; you

The fact is there isn’t much you can do on BLM land — except shoot — without a permit of some kind. The Joe Foss Shooting Complex belongs to Maricopa County and is managed by the Arizona State Rifle and Pistol Association (ASRPA). The range offers archery, rifle, pistol and shotgun shooting areas. NRA-certified range safety officers are on site to ensure everyone is safely enjoying a day of shooting. The range is clean, centrally located and secure. And it is on land that actually belongs to BLM. BLM should take their recreational shooting microsite development money and partner with ASRPA, Arizona Game and Fish (at Ben Avery Shooting Facility) and Maricopa County to enhance those recreational target shooting complexes and leave the landfill business to the Waste Management folks.

Border crisis at a breaking point

OPINION

BY REP. DEBBIE LESKO (AZ-08) Guest Columnist

Last month, 144,278 migrants were apprehended or deemed inadmissible trying to illegally cross our southern border. That’s enough people to fill State Farm Stadium almost two and a half times over. Perhaps a more staggering figure, the United States is on track to apprehend more than 1 million illegal immigrants by the end of this year. And that’s just the illegal immigrants we are able to find. Virtually everyone recognizes we have a crisis at our border — that is except for Democrats in Congress. Being from Arizona, we know this crisis all too well. We see it ﬁrsthand as our communities’ resources are strained more and more as the humanitarian crisis only gets worse. Federal resources are also wearing thin. It is no longer a matter of if, but when money and resources simply run out. President Trump has requested $4.5 billion in immediate humanitarian aid

Our border is at a breaking point. We are running out of resources, and Democrats are blocking every attempt to replenish them. At the same time, the loopholes in our immigration laws are driving more and more illegal immigrants to cross our border illegally. Border apprehensions are up 229% as compared to this time last year. Border Patrol has already apprehended nearly 600,000 migrants so far this ﬁscal year, surpassing the totals for each of the last 10 years. We are on an unsustainable path that we cannot continue. I will be introducing legislation in the coming weeks to address the border crisis and ﬁx the loopholes in our immigration laws. I hope my Democrat colleagues will join me in ending this crisis once and for all. Rep.

Business Briefcase

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

West Valley View Managing Editor

Hello, readers! This week is definitely one to get mouths watering over. A long-awaited Chicago eatery has some news. Have you guessed which one? Well, I’ll let you in on the news in a moment. Beyond that, Goodyear scored a fast food chain, there are some updates on recent items I mentioned and, unfortunately, a beloved restaurant has closed. Here’s the news! First, as I’m sure many of you are eagerly anticipating the long-awaited arrival of Portillo’s to Avondale, I have good news! The West Valley-via-Chicago eatery, famed for its hot dogs, beef sandwiches and much more, will open Thursday, August 15. In the meantime, Portillo’s has two other locations — one in Tempe and one in Scottsdale — as well as an outpost at Chase Field. For readers who have never been to a Portillo’s, the restaurant’s theme takes inspiration from the look and feel of 1950s and 1960s diners. The Avondale location, at 9,000 square feet, will seat more than 200 guests, and feature an outdoor patio and a double-lane drive-thru. The incoming Avondale location will be off McDowell Road, north of I-10 and east of 107th Avenue. It is in the vicinity of Main Event and a Starbucks. For more information, visit portillos. com/avondale. Next up, some readers have inquired about the apparent closure of Majerle’s Sports Grill in Goodyear. The doors have been locked, its Facebook page shut down and its phone number deactivated. So, the Briefcase contacted the downtown Phoenix location and was told the location has been sold so the brand can focus on its other four locations. Majerle’s fans can check those out in downtown Phoenix, Chandler, North Phoenix and Flagstaff. The former Goodyear location opened in 2009.

Majerle’s is known for its traditional sports grill offerings, from burgers to pizza, sandwiches, tacos and more. For more information, visit majerles. com. Moving along, I have a quick clarification regarding The Buffalo Spot. The franchise is open at the southeast corner of McDowell Road and 99th Avenue. The address is 9897 W. McDowell Road, Suite 550. For more information, visit thebuffalospot.com/ arizona/tolleson. Speaking of Tolleson, you may recall a mention of International Furniture Direct a couple weeks ago. The Briefcase covered the case goods manufacturer’s purchase of 48,000 square feet of a 250,000-square-foot industrial building at 9310 W. Buckeye Road. Well, the furniture importer has signed an 81-month lease. For more information, visit int-furndirect.com. Finally, Sonic Drive-In is coming to Goodyear. A use permit was approved by city council June 24. The new Sonic will be located on the southeast corner of Estrella Parkway and Van Buren Street, at Centerra Crossings. According to the economic development department, Sonic will occupy 5,199 square feet, and include a main building, a patio dining canopy, a parking/dining canopy, a detached parking/dining canopy, and drive-in and drive-thru options. The new location will employ 45 staff members.

Private, in-home yoga comes to the West Valley MAXIMO AGUILAR LAWLOR West Valley View Staff Writer

A local woman’s yoga company recently made its way into the PebbleCreek community, and is now taking the West Valley by storm. Nicole Anne Yoga, a Phoenix-based mobile yoga company since 2017, offers private, in-home yoga sessions. Nicole Fonovich, the company’s owner, said yoga is universal for people who can participate. It brings wellness to the mind, body and spirit, she said. “The benefits of yoga are that it doesn’t matter what age you are; you are able to do one of the many facets of yoga,” Fonovich said. “When you’re a senior, you might have difficulty competing against the 20 or 30 year olds, but for seniors specifically, yoga helps with increased flexibility; helps with anxiety and depression.” Fonovich continued, “(Yoga) releases all the chemicals and hormones, so oxytocin, serotonin, melatonin, all these things that help you feel good naturally. Yoga is a way of unlocking the key to our bodies ability to heal itself — that’s the brilliance of yoga.” According to Nicole Anne Yoga’s website, the company’s mission statement is to be “committed to inner harmony, being helpful and supporting empowerment. We choose to have this show up by our commitment to leading with gratitude, compassion and living with intention. We demonstrate this through selfless service, meeting others where they are, and by practicing what we teach.” Being a longtime swimmer and dancer, Joan Grube, a customer who takes part in private sessions, said she still has a decent amount of flexibility and balance. And for her, yoga is not only good for the body, but good for the soul. “I’m in fairly good shape for someone my age,” Grube said. “I’ve never had the opportunity to pursue yoga. I understand that it’s not only good for preventing old age — I’m stubborn and refuse to get old — and from what I’ve heard, yoga is a good path to take.” Grube continued, “I’ve also heard that (yoga) is an excellent meditative and emotional path to take to de-stress. I can eat ice cream and donuts, but the stress is still there. I’d like another coping mechanism.” As a mobile program, Nicole Anne Yoga is able to provide a detailed and personal experience for all customers. This is something to which Grube is highly attracted.

“I love the fact that they come to my home,” Grube said. “I like the private attention. I want to see where I am. Look at me and tell me what I can do. I don’t want to get hurt, and I think the fact that they are here focusing on my husband and me, we’re not being put in any danger and they will answer my questions. They can’t do that in a (yoga) studio with over 30 to 40 people.” Grube continued, “I can’t embarrass myself in my own living room. I want to correct my form and assess my needs. I’m comfortable here and relaxed here in my own home. I can walk into a studio but I don’t know who’s sitting next to me, but here the instructors are trained to start at the beginning, see how I progress and go at my speed.” To participants like Grube, yoga is much more than being able to stretch

and try out different positions. Instead, it entails meditation, sound healing and other outlets. This is a common misconception, with Fonovich saying yoga is more accessible than people realize and can cater to people of all backgrounds of life — especially seniors. “Many of our seniors, they have had a surgery, coming from chemotherapy,

or they have been an avid athlete their entire life,” Fonovich said. “This gives them the confidence, the privacy, to cater to their specific needs.” Another large misconception about yoga is that it is meant for people who are already in good shape. Quite the contrary, as Grube said people of any age can participate and benefit. “Senior citizens like us can also do some yoga,” Grube said. “Maybe we can’t put our legs over our heads and we’re not expected to bend like a pretzel, but we can calm down. We can focus on our bodies and push our bodies to do more than perhaps we thought we could.” Starting July 4, all Veterans and active military members will be able to attend all Nicole Anne Yoga events for free. Nicole Anne Yoga provides private yoga/ meditation packages in three, six and 12 sessions, and also provides private life/ health coach sessions in packages of three, six and 12. The company can also be hired for group yoga sessions. For more information on Nicole Anne Yoga’s group events or private, in-home yoga sessions, visit nicoleanneyoga.com.

Tigers prepping for World Series in Las Cruces BY GRIFFIN FABITS

West Valley View Contributing Writer

Nine months ago, the Buckeye Tigers had work to do. This much their two coaches — head coach Jason Procunier and assistant Ryan Fridrich — knew already. The Tigers, a club baseball team comprised of 11-year-olds spanning the West Valley, had just capped off their first tournament together in September of 2018. In the eyes of the coaching staff, there was a glaring need to break the game down in its simplest form, and drill the fundamentals of the game into the minds of the boys who were getting their first taste of travel baseball. “We just wanted to teach them the fundamentals,” Fridrich said. “We want to let these boys play, let them have fun, let them learn. Our first tournament was eye-opening to me, seeing the talent of club ball kids, and there was no way we were there yet. We had a lot of work to do. “The kids had talent, but it was just about putting it all together.” Far sooner than Fridrich or Procunier could have anticipated, the Tigers began to click. They polished their game — instead of a handful of errors they’d make per game, Fridrich said, they now might make just one or two — and found their identity as a group of 11-year-old sluggers. The night-and-day transformation of this young baseball team, in such short time, has been incredibly fulfilling to everyone associated with the club — from coach to player to parent. But perhaps even more gratifying is the Tigers’ qualification to the USSSA Global World Series in Las Cruces, New Mexico, held from July 3 through July 7, a tournament featuring top teams in the Southwest region. The path to Las Cruces hinged on the Tigers’ ability to qualify for the prominent tournament. As a club team, they play through the United States Specialty Sports Association, an organization that runs tournaments across the country. While the USSSA runs tournaments,

assigns schedules and more, it also tracks the wins — and strength of wins — of participating clubs. The Tigers had accumulated enough wins, and quality wins, to cement their spot in the Global World Series. As cool a feat as any 11-year-old team can achieve, but one that nobody saw coming. “Nope,” Fridrich said, asked if the Global World Series was ever on their agenda for this year. “It was just, let’s grow this season and maybe next year we can start competing a little bit more and look for bigger and better things.” The Tigers are 12-16-2 in 2019, per USSSA.com, but rank sixth in the state in power points, a metric that measures the strength of a team’s wins. They had a third-place finish at the USSSA State Championships in early June. In New Mexico, the Tigers are guaranteed six games. Four will come in the initial pool play round, with the double-elimination round beginning Saturday, July 6. Nerves are to be expected playing in

a tournament of this magnitude. Fridrich and Procunier have come to expect this, but they’re one step ahead of it, already plotting a game plan to ensure the Tigers tame their emotions and play to their level. “We just tell them to have fun,” Fridrich said. “Smile. If they’re feeling it and we can tell they’re feeling it, some of the visits to the mound are like, ‘Hey, guys, come here. Smile. Just smile. Laugh. We’re having fun, right? Look around. We all get to be on this field playing baseball. Let’s have some fun.’ Those are huge. It wipes that stress away.” Coupled with their revamped onfield play, Fridrich has also noticed an uptick in team chemistry over the last few months. To the coaching staff, that directly coincides with how they perform on the field. “The chemistry now is incredible. The on-field communication is one of the biggest things that helped them get better. We have barbeques, car washes. Some of our tournaments are in Gilbert, so we

stay in hotels, hanging out in the pool. Obviously, winning games is fun. But the off-field stuff, too. That has become huge, along with the fundamentals.” It’s hard to pinpoint any kind of projections for the Global World Series when the club’s qualification was as unforeseen as it was. The goal is to simply see how the Tigers match up against some of the Southwest’s most elite clubs. But, regardless, a team can dream, can’t it? Fridrich spoke of the impact it would make on these kids if they were able to depart from Las Cruces with a first-place trophy. “Holy moly,” he said. “These kids would be on top of the world. To win this thing, it’d be their Super Bowl. It’d be their actual Major League World Series. They’d jump out of their shoes.” And the coaching staff? “We’d be proud. I’d have trouble holding back the tears. To see these kids accomplish this humongous task in such a short time, it’d be awesome.”

Summer play a unique experience for high school hoopers BY ERIC NEWMAN

West Valley View Staff Writer

A group of players, drinking newly bought sports drinks and typical high school stadium food like hot dogs and candy due to a lack of other options, crowded both hoops to take a precious few warm-up shots while the teams actually using a high school’s lone basketball court for their summer game rested at halftime. The officials shooed the shooters off the ﬂoor as the buzzer sounded, signaling the start of the second period, in an attempt to hurry the actual game’s players onto the ﬂoor so the all-day tournament would not go longer than necessary. One June tournament may make a single free throw count as two points, rather than shooting two one-point shots at the line while the clock runs, in addition to other time-saving rule changes. A newcomer might find bizarre a coach anxiously asking the referee — who is on his fifth game officiated in six hours, with two more to go — before the jump ball about exactly how many timeouts the team has, or other rules that vary at each competition. None of it is particularly abnormal to those used to high school summer basketball. Throughout June, nearly every school with a varsity squad in Arizona participates in a variety of local leagues, weekend tournaments and summer practices before the top players return to club basketball teams in July. Incoming players and returning starters alike give up a month of their summers to either try and earn, or keep, their roles with the teams come the regular season in the winter sports season. The Arizona Interscholastic Association, the regulatory body that oversees extracurricular activities for most schools in the state, does not allow coaches to make practices and games mandatory in the summer months. Attendance varies, with players participating in other sports or gone due to other obligations. A state-championship contender might one night play its entire JV in a varsity league game, with its starters resting or at another event entirely, and their opponent has no idea how they stack up against the fully loaded group. Take Greenway coach Jay Montoya’s stance after the Demons beat Notre Dame Prep in Thunderbird High School Summer League play. “Today we had most of our players, and I’m going to guess they didn’t. Another

night we might be missing some, while another team has every varsity player. You just don’t know night to night,” he said. Despite the events being nonmandatory by state rule, the majority of coaches expect their top players to show up as much as possible. Sunrise Mountain boys’ coach Gary Rath expects his varsity contributors come the regular season to have spent a lot of time with the team in June. “If you have a kid that’s not showing, that’s not going to make the decision, but it’s certainly a mark against you. It’s not a positive. Some kids play other sports or have other obligations, and that’s fine and we get it, though. But if not, you’re going to want to be out here,” he said. For a young team like the Ironwood girls’ squad, with coach Jamie Fellows invested in creating a new culture, getting as many different bodies on the ﬂoor is a blessing. She can change lineups, play girls at different positions on the court and change nearly everything about the team’s strategy from one game to another. Because the games do not matter for the AIA playoffs, a loss, especially to a team the varsity might dominate, does not hurt so badly. It hurts even less if a coach can get freshman and JV players experience against other teams’ top rosters to see the speed and intensity of that level early on in their high school days. “More kids are getting more varsity-like exposure, where you can see how some kids play together on the court, or how a certain kid does in a different position. It’s great,” Fellows said. While implementing new strategy, the more repetitions against different opponents and styles of play is crucial to a young team’s development. At some June weekend tournaments, teams advancing far in the bracket might play up to seven or eight games in a three-day span. That’s just more opportunities to tinker with lineups and called plays on the ﬂoor. “You have the chance to go up against a bunch of different defenses when you play a lot of games. You can kind of see what everyone does differently, and then you get more chances to get better,” Verrado senior Taevry Phillips said. However, the gratuitous amount of running and training can be hard on young bodies. Often, games are played at the same intensity as they would be in the regular season. The win-loss records do not matter in the standings, but the falls to the ground after a foul still hurt.

The miles run still wear on tired legs. Coaches are often forced to play more kids in a game than their normal rotations, to make up for a season’s worth of games in about a third of the time and not injure or wear out any contributors. “Some teams play 20, 30 games in June. That’s a season in itself in one month,” Montoya said. However, the players ultimately are the ones making the choice to play. It is not a punishment to play more bas-

ketball for kids already signed up to do so in the winter. Despite needing significant rest after hard days of lifting and practice days following a long weekend of games, Sunrise Mountain junior Colin Carey said the experience in summer basketball is worth the effort, no matter the amount of time it costs. “It’s just fun being around the guys you enjoy hanging out with and playing, which we all enjoy,” Carey said.

Become a dialogue ‘solutionary’ today for a greater tomorrow CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph West Valley View Columnist

There was a married couple sleeping and an intruder entered their house. The intruder put a knife to the neck of the woman and said, “I like to know the names of my victims before I kill them. What is your name?” “My name is Elizabeth,” the woman replied. The intruder said, “You remind me of my mother, who was also named Elizabeth, so I can’t kill you.” The intruder then turned to the husband and asked, “What is your name?” “My name’s Philip, but my friends call me Elizabeth.” I wish I were that quick.

Notice how Philip elevated the dialogue in that exchange. God gives us wisdom in how to be a person who can elevate the dialogue when things are fueled by anger or fear. “There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of the sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Proverbs 12:18. “The good acquire a taste for helpful conversation; bullies push and shove their way through life.” Proverbs 13:2-3. That’s sage advice for living in today’s world as well as unleashing a better world tomorrow. Have you noticed how much twoway dialogue has deteriorated in our culture today? Few people speak to people these days. They speak at people, and then they speak over people. Rather than work out issues which lead to solutions, people get “outraged,” especially when they appear to be losing the debate. Being “outraged” is gener-

ally a way of saying, “My feelings are more important than your feelings. My thinking is more enlightened than your thinking. My cause is more valid than your cause. I’m right. You’re wrong. That’s it.” “You just don’t get it!” “I’m OK. You’re so-so.” Does this type of dialogue elevate meaningful solutions or deflate meaningful resolution? No. It leads to polarization and demonization. We classify, compare and commend ourselves, deciding who is “us” and who is “them.” Then things get personal, rendering negotiation and solutions impossible. We make our point, but we also make an adversary. That behavior will come back to meet us in the future, most likely affecting others’ future also. Let me quote author Laurie Beth Jones on this subject. “Dialogue either uplifts or depresses, engages or alienates, imprisons or liberates.” It’s OK to have emotions, have opinions and feel strongly about something, but not to the point of the one-way, condescending, insulting and defensive posturing that we see today. That is what bullies do. They are more correctors than connectors. The idea becomes to win the debate, not find the real solution. There is a better way. I greatly admire what the Apostle Paul did when he wanted to address a problem or issue in the early church. He did this through letters called Epistles. His strategy was to elevate the conversation when disagreements arose. He was a dialogue “solutionary” rather than a dialogue “pollutionary.” He would start off with complimenting the church he was addressing. He would say what they were doing well first. Then he would address the issue. His exhortation never came across coercive, accusatory or defensive. After addressing the issue, he would finish the letter on a positive note. Paul made more friends than ene-

mies using this strategy. The Apostle James says, “A word out of your mouth may seem of no account, but it can accomplish nearly anything — or destroy it! By our speech we can ruin the world, turn harmony to chaos, throw mud on a reputation, send the whole world up in smoke and go up in smoke with it. This is scary: You can tame a tiger, but you can’t tame a tongue. It’s never been done. The tongue runs wild, a wanton killer. With our tongues we bless God our Father; with the same tongues we curse the very men and women he made in his image. Curses and blessings out of the same mouth!” Why not elevate the conversation wherever you are? Be a dialogue “solutionary.” Consider these questions: What form of dialogue does my group, family or workplace use — polite, coercive, directive, reﬂective, accusatory or defensive? What can I do to elevate the dialogue? What might the results be? Maybe the results of Coach Paul Bryant might show a better way to build an effective two-way conversation solution-oriented bridge and get over it. Here’s his simple “solutionary” approach to winning games: “If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semigood, we did it. If anything goes really, really good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you.” That’s a win-win. Consider this: shouldn’t we let the one who made relationships give us clarity in maintaining relationships, especially when we have a killer like the tongue running loose? The best vitamin for becoming a solutionary is B-1.

The public is invited to attend a Meet the Artists Reception from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 12, at the Presidio Residents Club’s Art Gallery, 18209 W.

This summer, a ﬁrst-ofits-kind contest will give Goodyear residents the opportunity to showcase what they love most about their community. The competition, dubbed “Why I love Goodyear,” invites the public to participate in its video and coloring contests through August 2. “We always like to share what we think is wonderful about the city, but this is an opportunity to hear from the community,” spokeswoman Corinne Holliday said. Starting in July, local residents can share creative “Why I Love Goodyear” videos on social media for a chance to win a prize package worth $250. “We are asking the community to create a fun video in two minutes or less to show or tell why they love Goodyear, and then to post the video on Facebook or Instagram with the hashtag ‘#GoodyearLife,’” Holliday said. “The winning video will be played at a city council meeting.” Children, ages 17 and younger, can also participate in the “Why I Love Goodyear Coloring Contest,” where hand-drawn artwork can be mailed or

This free event features 27 unique works of art submitted by 14 artists-in-residence. All attendees will have the opportunity to cast their vote for their favorite work of art. Refreshments will be served. For more information, contact Estrella Art Gallery Committee Chairman Dan Waring at danwaring2003@ yahoo.com.

dropped off at the Goodyear City Hall at 190 N. Litchﬁeld Road, Goodyear. “This is for the kids. We want to know from the kids in the community what makes Goodyear cool,” Holliday said. “The winning artwork will be featured on a billboard on I-10 in Goodyear.” Holliday, who said winners will be announced in late August, encourages all to join in on the fun. “This is a fun way to hear why people love being part of the community,” she said. “We’re hoping for a great response and looking forward to hearing what people have to say.”

SUDOKU TIME

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

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

DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK H H H

H Moderate HH Challenging HHH HOO BOY!

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

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

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

The National Security Language Initiative for Youth (NSLI-Y) — a U.S. Department of State program that provides full-ride scholarships to study language abroad — recently named its 2019 recipients. Megan Starses, a rising senior at Great Hearts Trivium Preparatory Academy in Goodyear, is one of the 660 American high school students from across the nation who will participate in an overseas immersion program this year. Starses, who was adopted from China when she was nine months old, will study Mandarin and live with a host family in Xi’an, China, this summer. She anticipates her experience abroad will go beyond honing her linguistic skills, though. “This is a self-discovery experience for me since I’ll be learning about my heritage in the place where it all started,” Starses said. “Just being able to rediscover some part of me — that’s what I’m really looking forward to doing.” Starses, who hopes to work under the U.S. ambassador to China one day, said she applied to the NSLI-Y program for specific reasons. “Other than the obvious advancement in proficiency for Chinese, I chose NSLI-Y over any other program that offers study abroad scholarships because it (is) funded by the Department of State. That’s really valuable

to me because I want to go into international relations,” Starses explained. “Being able to have a relationship with a department in the government was just really, really cool.” According to the NSLI-Y website, the Chinese (Mandarin) summer program, which lasts six to eight weeks, increases students’ Chinese language proficiency through intensive in-class language instruction, cultural presentations and activities, volunteer service activities, and host family stays. Trivium Prep Headmaster Heidi Vasiloff, who described Starses as a “leader” and a “wonderful person,” said she likes it when scholarships award those who are most deserving. In this case, it is Starses. “When she first approached me and talked about the application, she just was on fire. She was so excited. We’re delighted that the work she has put in has been rewarded,” Vasiloff said. “She’s going to be a fantastic representative of our school and of our community.” Starses’ efforts to reconnect to her roots speaks to the kind of person she is, Vasiloff said. “She’s grounded in who she is today, and her desire to reach back and really explore that side of her she wasn’t exposed to is a beautiful thing,” Vasiloff said. “I hope she shares it with us when she comes back. The more diversity and more culture that we can have, the better off we are as a community and

Boeing scholarship empowers local high school graduate

BY ANDREA ESTRADA

West Valley View Staff Writer

Shannon Byrne’s interest in programming was sparked at an early age. She recalled the time she and her sister accidentally infected her father’s computer with a virus and learned how to remove it themselves. “Actually, it’s a funny story. He sat us down to watch an antivirus software (video) and work all day. It was supposed to be a punishment,” Byrne said. “I thought it was amazing.” After being named a 2019 Boeing scholarship recipient, Byrne of Westview High School will attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University this fall where she will continue to immerse herself in the realm of programming, coding and cybersecurity. The Boeing scholarship, which is valued at $5,000 and awarded annually for two years, recognizes students with financial need who demonstrate academic excellence and an interest in aviation science, aircraft maintenance and other fields at Embry-Riddle. “The inaugural cohort of Boeing Scholars at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University are all highly accomplished, high-performing high-school students with exceptional grade-point averages,” Embry-Riddle President Dr. P. Barry Butler said in a statement.

Byrne, who participated in one of Embry-Riddle’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programs and held a GPA of 4.5 throughout high school, believes scholarships that reward hard work — like the Boeing scholarship — are important for students to have access to. “It gives financial aid to people who are deserving. They worked hard and they are recognized for their skills through this scholarship. I find that amazing,” Byrne said. Byrne, who plans to pursue a degree in cyber intelligence and security, is a prime example of the scholarship’s focus to increase the number of women and other underrepresented groups enrolled at the university. “My dream job is to program software, decode viruses and get them off everyone’s software. I feel like not everyone — female or minority — is interested in this type of field. I don’t see any trouble going into it. I got interested right away,” she said. Butler noted Byrne’s grit to pursue the things she’s passionate about. “Scholars like Shannon Byrne of Avondale, Arizona, inspire us to reach for our most ambitious goals,” Butler said. “We congratulate Shannon on her achievement and look forward to watching her progress at Embry-Riddle.”

Choosing a career college does not mean saying goodbye to the college experience 32

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Making the choice to pursue a career technical education does not mean you have to say goodbye to an engaging college experience. Diagnostic medical sonography (DMS) student Kaleen Langford of Avondale is here to set the record straight. She said her experience at Pima Medical Institute’s Phoenix campus is one that is setting her up for success, and creating relationships that will last a lifetime. “Not only do you have the support here while you’re in your program,” Langford said. “Here at Pima Medical, instructors support you throughout the entire process, into your externship and even on to your entry to the workforce. You never lose the connection or the support.” Langford added, “I actually wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I got here, and it’s been amazing. My rela-

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 3, 2019

tionship with my instructors is supportive. They have faith in my abilities and are constantly motivating me to succeed.” Langford will graduate soon from the DMS program, which is an intensive associate degree that requires a lot of study and hands-on training. Despite all the hard work, Langford has also found time for some extracurricular activities. In addition to focusing on her education, she is the captain of the student fun committee called the “Stu Crew.” In her role, she leads the organizing of campus events like the recent spirit week on campus. The end of spirit week culminated with a campus-wide carnival for students, faculty and staff to let loose and have a little fun including a dunk tank where students could take their best shot at the faculty members willing to brave the icy water. “Make no mistake, we work very

hard here at the Phoenix Campus,” said Stacey Nottingham, Phoenix campus director. “We also believe in empowering students and staff to find creative ways to award the hard work and success. That’s why the Stu Crew was developed, and I believe it’s making a very positive impact here with students, faculty and staff.” That is a sentiment Langford echoes. “There’s a big misconception that if you go to a career college, or small college, that you don’t get to be involved as much,” Langford added. “I’ve made more connections in just the six months that I’ve been here than I believe I would have in an entire program at a traditional college or university.” Go to pmi.edu for more information.

OBITUARIES

Nellie Macias Correa Nellie M. Correa, 96, passed from a life well-lived on May 26, 2019. She was born on January 4, 1923 to Paulino Macias and Josefa Soto Macias (their only child) in Kansas City, KS. Her oldest half-sister Elvira Bustillo Vasquez married and left the family home. Later her mother married Juan Cortinas and soon was joined by younger halfsisters Mary Cortinas Avila, Josephine Cortinas Buitron, and Juanita Cortinas Palacio. Mrs. Correa went to school in Kansas City, KS and received a GED. In 1937 she married Louis Mejia Correa and they had 3 children: daughters Virginia (Ginny) Correa Creager, PhD; Rose Marie Correa Rooth, EdD; and son Robert Alexander Correa, B.S. In her children’s school, Nellie volunteered many classroom hours, prepared home-baked cookies for fund raisers, designed and sewed costumes for various activities and was quite active in the PTA as historian and scrapbooker. After the children were all well into school, Mrs. Correa began a long work life in the 1950’s. First, she was a baker and food service worker at Argentine Jr.-Sr. High school in Kansas City, KS. As a result, she was well-acquainted with teaching staff as well as the student body. Somehow, she was already planting the seed that education was important to her children’s future and that college would be part of it. Both mother and father never let the children forget that goal. Later she worked in manufacturing and eventually engaged with management and employees to establish the steel workers union, thereby securing pension rights for participants at a company which later became Office Max. She retired in 1985 with her own earned retirement pension. After retirement Nellie moved to Broomfield, CO to be near her grown children. She promptly moved into a new home built by Robert’s home-building company. We were all proud of that. Still wanting to go further West, the various family members agreed to move to Arizona, where Robert again built lovely homes for his mother. The first was in Peoria and later another home in Payson. She was definitely the matriarchal influence in this small but active family. In Payson, Nellie was active in AARP and in voter registration until she was side-lined by the eventual need for hip replacement surgery and she and some of the family found it necessary to move back to the Valley for medical care. Her latest “home” was Estrella Estates in Goodyear where she had many friends and was fond of her exercise class and the vivacious instructor! Nellie is survived by daughters Virginia and Rose and 3 grandchildren: Robert Jones (Shawn); Jill Rooth Kismet (Kevin), and Brian Rooth (Monse) and half-sister Josephine. She had 9 great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by parents, husband Louis, son Robert, and son-in-law Scott Creager. Celebration of Life Service is Saturday, July 13, 2019, 10:00 A.M. at The Church at Litchfield Park, 300 N. Old Litchfield Rd., Litchfield Park, AZ 85340 with reception immediately following at Church Hall.

Eleanor Tequida Espinosa

Eleanor Tequida Espinosa, age 71, a long-time resident of Avondale, died June 12, 2019 in Sun City, AZ. She was born November 9, 1947 in Avondale, to Enrique and Guadalupe Tequida. She graduated from Agua Fria High School. Eleanor was a lot of fun! In fact, she was the life of the party! She loved to tell stories and would soon have everyone laughing with her many facial expressions and impersonations. She had non-stop energy which not only came through in the hard work ethic that she had, but in the dancing that she enjoyed! She loved to dance and sing, especially if the songs were upbeat and had a great disco beat. Eleanor worked as a quality inspector for Pacific Scientific, a job that she loved and was well suited for since she wasn’t shy about telling others when there was a problem. She was serious and conscientious about her work, but she sometimes brought her playful side, too, when she would embarrass her bosses and coworkers by dressing as Marilyn Monroe or Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She had a talent for impersonating others, and was so successful in lip syncing with several of her friends that she was hired by some of the casinos in the area to entertain. Eleanor loved her sports and actively participated in many. She played softball, volleyball, basketball, women’s football, and was even a roller derby girl. She enjoyed traveling with friends, going on cruises,and especially visiting Santa Barbara. She loved to go to her home in Flagstaff and enjoyed traveling around Arizona with her husband. Eleanor was considerate, generous, and very giving. She would care for anyone around her that needed something. She was passionate about her causes and would always let you know how she felt about them. She loved to be with her family, brothers and sisters, spoiling her grandchildren and anyone else that needed her special touch. She cared deeply about her animals, especially her dog, Patches. Eleanor is survived by her form her husband, Roque Espinosa; daughter, René Espinosa; son, Roque Reggie Espinosa (Edie); sisters, Mary Bower, Josie Cordova, Mary Luisa Krawietz (Steve), Terry Cruz (Salvador), Lupe Hellum (Larry) and Mary Ellen Tequida; brothers, Ramon Tequida (Felipa), and Manual Tequida ; four grandchildren, Alexis Espinosa, Gabrielle, Gilbert, and Derek Rivera; great-grandchildren, Aiden, Ryan, Jackson, Julianne, and Jailynn Rivera, and many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Enrique and Guadalupe Tequida, step-sisters, Maria Vasquez,, Margarita Alaniz and Bertha Garcia. Services were held on Friday, June 21, 2019 at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, 539 E La Pasada Blvd, Goodyear, 85338. Burial was at Holy Cross Cemetery, 9925 W. Thomas Road, Avondale, AZ 85392. The family suggests that donations be made to the Arizona Humane Society. Condolences for the family may be left at www.ThompsonFuneralChapel.com.
