Goodyear teen killed in crash called an ‘angel’ By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski and Aliyah Chavez Tributes are pouring in for 13-year-old Edgar Nuñez-Hernandez of Goodyear, who was killed in a two-car crash at Yuma Road and Village Boulevard on June 25. “Edgar was an extraordinary student and leader,” said Dr. Lupita Ley Hightower, superintendent at Tolleson Elementary School District. “He would always make it a point to include all around him and made them feel welcome.” The Porfirio H. Gonzales Elementary School pupil served as student body vice president; a chief science officer; news anchor for the school’s Aztec Morning News; a member of the National Junior Honor Society and frequent volunteer at Stella’s Farmers Market. His goal, according to Tolleson Mayor Anna Tovar, was to be student body president by the eighth grade. “Edgar touched all our lives and we will always remember him,” Hightower said. “We are devastated with the loss of this angel.” Tovar expressed her sorrow on social media. “On behalf of city of Tolleson council members and our entire staff, we send our deepest condolences as we mourn the passing of Porfirio H. Gonzales Elementary

American Legion Post 53 hosts ﬂag retirement By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

The American Legion Post 53 in Buckeye recently held a flag retirement ceremony with the help of auxiliaries, the West Valley Blue Star Moms and Boy Scout Troop 263, which is chartered by Post 53. Sen. Sine Kerr was among those who attended the event held annually near Flag Day. During the ceremony, unserviceable flags are burned, which is protocol. Flags are donated to the organizations to retire during a short ceremony that ends with the burning of those deemed unserviceable. In addition, the American Legion Post 53 Auxiliary held an ice cream social, the VFW Auxiliary 12098 from Buckeye had a bake off, and the Blue Star Moms of the West Valley sold potatoes. The funds went back to the organizations for their respective projects. The American Legion Auxiliary has two events in September. The third annual Patriots Day event will feature water activities, free food, crafts, games and raffle prizes from

Liberty Utilities’ Palm Valley Water Reclamation Facility was named the Wastewater Treatment Plant of the Year 2018 for a small system at the Arizona Water Association Projects of the Year Awards. Recently, the facility underwent improvements and construction to increase the treatment capacity of the plant from 5.1 million gallons per day to 5.8 million gallons per day. The facility’s project included upgrades of major process components. During project construction, the facility remained fully operational and complied with regulatory requirements. In addition, with Liberty Utilities’ continued focus on renewable energy and reduction of energy consumption, the project included equipping facility with LED lighting inside and out. Liberty Utilities then retrofitted the existing facility lighting from CFL and halogen technology to LED to further reduce energy consumption. This state-of the art facility represents

Liberty Utilities’ continued industry leadership in wastewater treatment and water resource management and demonstrates our continuing and ongoing commitment to our customers and communities we serve by assuring water resources and supplies are protected for generations to come. Tours of the plant are offered to customers, community groups and other interested parties. For tours, call Sara Alloway at 623-240-2096. During the construction of the expansion and improvement projects, Liberty Utilities kept in regular contact with its direct neighbors, which included an elementary school, with updates and installed a sound wall during construction to help mitigate the noise of construction. In addition to the 2018 PVWRF Wastewater Treatment Plant of the Year 2018 – small system, Liberty Utilities was also awarded 2017 Project of the Year for the Liberty Aquifer Replenishment Facility.

school spirit shirts. The heartfelt ceremony included speeches from Edgar’s teachers and classmates, a video created by Edgar’s family and a bilingual prayer. “I’ve taught for 25 years,” said Edgar’s sixth-grade science teacher, Tammy Brewer, at the vigil. “He was the best role model student I could think of. This just breaks my heart.” “You couldn’t find a student more interested in serving his community,” Brewer added through tears. “He was every teacher’s dream.” Karisia Vasquez, a fellow member of student council, shared that Edgar was an extremely hardworking student. “He was a very funny guy. In any situation he would always make your day… just seeing his smile made your day,” she said. The crash injured six others after a pickup truck reportedly rear-ended the vehicle in which Edgar was riding after it failed to stop at a red light. The pick-up truck’s occupants (a 30-yearold man and two children ages 5 and 3) as well as the passenger car’s occupants – a 59-year-old man, 46-year-old woman, 11-year-old and Edgar – were transported to the hospital with minor to critical injuries.

Edgar sustained critical injuries and died at the hospital. The other six individuals, also of Goodyear, are expected to recover, according to police. A GoFundMe set up to help his family, however, said his mother and brother are in intensive care as of June 27. Though impairment is not suspected, a

Jesse’s disappearance prompted a large search party including hundreds of citizens and law enforcement personnel using K-9s and drones. Together, they conducted searches by foot, vehicles and air. Jesse’s remains were found March 8, approximately 6 miles from his home, in an area that is believed by police to have been underwater at the time of previous searches. At the time of his disappearance, Jesse and his siblings – a twin sister and their older brother – were being cared for by their adoptive mother, Crystal. After Jesse’s disappearance, his siblings were removed from their home and taken to foster care by the Arizona Department of Child Safety. Crystal subsequently didn’t show for custody hearings involving the three children. “Jesse was a bright, energetic, caring young man, and was well liked by his friends and teachers,” detective Tamela Skaggs said in a press conference after Jesse’s remains were found. “We are confident that we will solve this case, and we will take this information and go forward with it. We want justice in this case, and we need Jesse to have justice in this case.” The Buckeye Police Department urges anyone with information to contact the department’s tipline at 623-349-6411 or bdptips@buckeyeaz.gov.

Buckeye chamber gives community awards By Connor Dziawura Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Deanna Kupcik likes to expand upon the title given to the West Valley organization she leads. Officially dubbed a “chamber of commerce,” she calls it a “chamber of community.” “It’s much bigger than just the chamber of commerce, and that is what we pride ourselves on,” she said. “I think the board is on the same page to just continue our efforts and holding true with that. We’re definitely all about our members, our businesses in Buckeye and beyond but we are a chamber of community. We are the go-to organization when people have questions about everything going on in our community.” But when it comes to being ingrained in Buckeye, the city’s chamber isn’t all work and no play. Just a week after the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce’s awards gala, Buckeye’s chamber of commerce held its own

large-scale gathering. The Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce’s annual awards dinner – dubbed the Buckeye Rocks Community Awards – was held June 22 at the Odyssey Junior High Gymnasium. “We’ve had the annual dinner for the past 60 years,” Kupcik explained. “It started as our past president’s dinner, honoring the past chairman of the board and then welcoming the new one. “But 14 years ago, we expanded it to a community awards banquet where we honor everything good that happens in Buckeye from the municipality side to the school district, to the community at large, service clubs, the chamber. We just incorporate all of it into one big event.” “Big” has gotten bigger, as the event has expanded from 100 guests to about 250 in that 14 years. This year, 34 people were honored in categories like citizen of the year, municipal employee of the year, educator of the year, business of the year and Buckeye Heroism Award.

The event’s title – Buckeye Rocks – is apt, too, with award winners receiving “Buckeye rocks.” “We have a quarry in Buckeye and it produces some beautiful, beautiful rocks,” Kupcik said. “West Valley Rock cut them for us and it makes a really unique and interesting kind of an award.” Buckeye residents came together for the event to celebrate what makes the community great.

ADOT hosts public hearing Dowling running for 8th on Loop 303 extension congressional district By Israel Gonzalez

The Arizona Department of Transportation shared its findings on a draft environmental assessment for a Loop 303 extension to around 500 West Valley residents at a public hearing on June 27. The project proposes extending the Loop 303 through a route south of Van Buren Street to Elwood Street going through Cotton Lane. If all goes as planned, construction could start in 2020 with the extension open to traffic in 2022. The project is part of an effort to accommodate traffic in the growing West Valley, said Gabriella Kemp, community relations project manager at ADOT. “There is a lot of growth happening

in the West Valley,” Kemp said. “So, we have to plan accordingly for that growth and a lot of it is taking place south of Interstate 10. With our study, we looked at how we can extend the Loop 303 for better connectivity.” The project also has a proposed loop from around Cotton Lane and Lower Buckeye Road in a southwestern direction to eventually connect to the proposed State Route 30. But only the current 2.5mile stretch from Van Buren Street to Elwood Street is funded. Several routes were evaluated by environmental and engineering criteria such as noise pollution,

Board of supervisors OKs final FY 2019 budget By West Valley View staff

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a final budget for fiscal year 2019 that decreases spending year-over-year without raising the tax rate. “Maricopa County residents want to live in safe communities with a responsive government and a low tax burden,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Steve Chucri, District 2. “This budget is all about maximizing our resources to deliver on those promises for taxpayers.” Vice Chairman Bill Gates, District 3, said the board prioritized leaner, more efficient government and the FY 2019 budget “shows how these efforts are paying off.” “Total spending is down nearly 2 percent from FY 2018; we have 500 fewer positions at the county than we did a decade ago; and we are, in many ways, providing better customer service than ever,” Gates said. The $2.45 billion budget keeps the tax rate flat from the previous year. About 53 percent of the budget is allocated for public safety.

“When I joined the board in 2013, we spent 50 percent of our budget on public safety,” said Supervisor Denny Barney, District 1. “Now it’s 54 percent. As demands on our criminal justice system have grown, we’ve had to be more efficient. That’s why we are investing in Smart Justice initiatives and new technology and putting increased focus this year on compliance with the Melendres order.” The board approved an additional $3.2 million for compliance in FY 2019. “We’re giving the sheriff’s office money for 26 additional staff members, focusing only on compliance,” said Supervisor Clint Hickman, District 4. “And what we want in return is to make—and be credited for—consistent, measurable progress. Taxpayers need to be free of the financial burden of mandated, courtordered Melendres-related costs that add up to millions of dollars every year.” The board continues to prioritize long-term investments that build a stronger Maricopa County. The FY 2019 budget allocates $364 million for capital projects including $35.5

Contributors to the budget were, from left, Supervisor Denny Barney (District 1); Vice Chairman Bill Gates (District 3); Chairman Steve Chucri (District 2); budget director Cindy Goelz; deputy budget director Brian Hushek; Supervisor Clint Hickman (District 4) and Supervisor Steve Gallardo (District 5).

Current funding will have the extension start with three general-purpose lanes in each direction from Van Buren Street to Elwood Street. While the preferred route was found to have the least environmental impact, some residents still expressed concerns over the freeway. “My biggest concern is the noise pollution that can still happen from the loops themselves and the State Route 30,” said Cynthia Knaut, a West Valley resident who would live 1.5 miles south of the proposed route. Knaut expressed her concerns about noise and air pollution to a

So I think the 303 is fantastic. I love the 303.” ADOT members stressed that public comments are important and taken into consideration at each step of the project. “Public input, sometimes it doesn’t seem like it has so much to do with this,” said Tricia Brown, an ADOT project manager. “But it is definitely an evaluation criteria and that’s why these meetings are so important to get people out to get their comments and their thoughts.” Comments on the project will be accepted through July 15.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

GAMBLE'S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

If only … Editor: The race for Jeff Flake’s U.S. senate seat is heating up, as would be expected. The Republican primary will feature a motley group of challengers, with Martha McSally the favorite to challenge Kyrsten Lea Sinema, the Democrat, in November. McSally, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel and jet fighter pilot, is eminently qualified to represent Arizona values in the U.S. senate. She has my endorsement. On the other hand, Sinema is as dangerous as she is intelligent and beautiful. Her TV commercials are stunning and appealing, especially when she appears in red. She comes across as a caring moderate and independent. She is neither. So, do not be deceived by her commercials, which are designed to get the independent vote and become our next senator. It’s very possibly George Soros is helping finance her campaign. It is said that Kyrsten is openly bisexual and claims no religion. She has been described as a left-wing radical by many. She also authored a book entitled Unite and Conquer. It advocated ways in which to build a broad coalition to promote progressive policies. Yes, there is that word “progressive” again! More damning is the fact that in 2002 Kyrsten was a signatory to a Cinco de Mayo advertisement in the Communist party newspaper People’s Weekly World. Those advertisements were usually placed by Communists and their sympathizers. So, if anyone wants to vote for Sinema, at least now you know the rest of the story. Deception has been weaponized by Kyrsten’s campaign. Personally, if given the opportunity, I believe Sinema would consider being our first female president. She is as politically ambitious as they come. For that reason alone, she would not make a good senator. Honestly, I admire her, but I fear her more, if she were to end up in the senate. If only she were a conservative, instead of a progressive! Roy Azzarello Goodyear

President Trump, just unnerving Editor: On June 25, President Trump said at a rally that Jimmy Fallon called him on the telephone over one of their disputes. Jimmy Fallon said he never called President Trump, ever. This latest lie from President Trump has left me a little shaken. Everyone has a breaking point and this one just broke me. I voted for President Trump because, like many people, I thought he would grow in office, so to speak. His incendiary personality has been like watching gasoline thrown on a fire. God, we need the press to cover the president thoroughly. We really don’t want to miss a minute of this. I get the president’s hate for CNN. CNN should be about something other than to get rid of the president. I watch Fox and CNN. Somewhere between the two you can find the truth. Three more years of President Trump. Three more years … Vickie Chelini Buckeye

Stop the bashing Editor: My husband and I own a swimming pool service and repair company. We are strong supporters of drowning prevention and “watch your kids around water.” Abby’s Hope, Virginia Graeme Baker Act (VGBA) and the National Swimming Pool Foundation (NSPF) are causes we endorse and follow. I have Abby’s Hope dog tags that I give away for the designated swimmer-watcher to wear with promises to always watch swimmers. Someone from the Estrella Facebook posted a video that showed two parents filming their diapered 2-year-old child scaling an above-ground pool ladder barrier, using this as a warning to parents that the barrier was not secure. I commented how alarmed I was that the parents stood filming instead of immediately removing their child from this dangerous situation. Then the bashing started. It was led by one individual who ridiculed

my opinion toward “better safe than sorry.” When I said I would rather be overprotective than attend my child’s funeral, he called me a “helicopter mom.” He then stated that he is a “first responder” and I was “assuming” too much from the video. He called me a “snowflake” for valuing a child’s life in a dangerous water situation. I then exited the conversation. I understand everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I’m a big girl, so being called a “helicopter mom” and a “snowflake” did not hurt my feelings. What I found most disturbing was a “first responder” found it necessary to berate, belittle and bully me over my passion for water safety. If this is the train of thought for this tax payer funded public safety individual, I fear that the message about water safety is a joke to him. I hope this was an isolated person/incident who thought being a bully was justified just so he could get the last word in. Carrie Pace Goodyear

I have been gobsmacked! Editor: David Compton is full of bologna. He states President Trump has lied more than 3,000 thousand times. Tell me, David, how could you know? Did you just pick that number out of your ear? Sarah Sanders is a liar, too! I think you should tell us the lies; examples

please. You don’t expect us to take your word for it do you, Mr. Vocabulary. Rudy Giuliani: I don’t care if his facts are not exactly correct, he makes me laugh. Your party is in a kerfuffle, they are the laughingstock of the country. You do have crazy Maxine Waters! Are there more jobs, companies coming back, lower taxes and higher wages? Did you say Bob Mueller’s legitimate investigation? What a joke. He and Comey will probably end up charged. I can’t be sure. There is no justice for the FBI top management crooks! To the guys at the 61. If I’m so wrong, get off your butts and write a letter and show me. Jean Levandowski Litchfield Park

‘No Service’ signs take on a whole new meaning now By David Leibowitz

Occasionally, you see a sign in a restaurant or store window that reminds you of gentler times in America: “No Shoes. No Shirt. No Service.” Such a statement of principle always struck me as reasonable. I find feet to be mankind’s least appealing appendages, and even less so when they’re dirty. As for shirts, virtually everyone who goes topless in public has made a horrific style decision and deserves, at the very least, not to be served lunch or dinner. Mandatory shirt-wearing seems a small price to pay to protect cleanliness, public decency and the psyches of small children. Of course, that was then in America. Now, there’s so much more to worry about. Like political affiliation. The Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, made national headlines last week when its owner, Stephanie Wilkinson, refused to serve White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family. Wilkinson told the Washington Post, “I have a business, and I want the business to thrive. (But) this feels like the moment in our democracy when people

Imagine an America where every business, every business owner and every employee put their own moral or religious code before everyone else’s right to equal treatment. Where would it end? Democrat restaurants and Republican restaurants? Dick’s Sporting Goods employees who refuse to ring up football gear because they abhor violence? A Jewish baker who refuses to sell challah to anyone who worships Allah? Or we could go the other way and embrace allowing everyone to serve only those with whom they agree.

By Connor Dziawura

Happy Independence Day, readers! I hope activities and fun with friends and family are plentiful. The weather is hot and it’s the perfect day to go swimming or even barbecue by the pool. But before I let you get to your hopefully jam-packed day, I’m going to start you off with the weekly roundup of business news—and it’s definitely a good week for that! Got your coffee in hand? Alright, here we go. Let’s start with a bang. In what is sure to be a major development, solar energy firm SolTech Inc. is coming to the West Valley. The company recently announced plans to spend up to $2 billion on a new solar energy farm near Tonopah. The company’s announcement calls for up to 3,000 acres. “Arizona is definitely the place to be in tech right now,” SolTech Inc. CEO David McNeill said in a statement. “Our hope is to get approval to build in this unincorporated area of Maricopa County by this time next year. Our developmental plans began years ago, before the announced new smart city. It came to our amusement when we became aware of Bill Gates’ ambitious plans in Arizona.” McNeill is referring to Mt. Lemmon Holdings LLC’s investment of $80 million in the master-planned community Belmont. Mt. Lemmon Holdings LLC is a subsidiary of Cascade Investment LLC, which Gates owns. (See “Company with ties to Bill Gates invests $80M in WV,” West Valley View, November 22, 2017.) “We hope to be an energy provider to the new proposed development, however, our focus is to supply our California partners with clean renewable energy,” the statement from McNeill continued. More details will reportedly be given at a summit in Phoenix later this summer or in early fall. Representatives for SolTech Inc. have not yet responded to request for information. Moving along, Purple expanded its blended channel strategy to bring its products to 20 Valley Mattress Firm locations. Among those 20 sites, Purple’s mattresses will be available at locations in Goodyear and Buckeye. The Goodyear Mattress Firm is located at 1550 N. Dysart Road, while the Buckeye location is at 980 S. Watson Road, Suite 101. “We’re excited to give people

more options to purchase a mattress at a physical location rather than just online,” Purple Co-Founder and CEO Terry Pearce said in a statement. “Getting to experience our comfort technology first-hand really shows the customer how different our mattresses are. We’re thrilled to be able to add more brick-and-mortar locations to enhance the customer journey.” For more information, visit purple. com. For a bit of a change of pace, Oscar Arnold, Whitney Yate and Peter Zipp, all of Goodyear, were recognized as Allstate Premier Agencies for 2018. Thirty-two percent of Allstate’s agency owners nationwide receive the designation, which is awarded based on customer experience and business results. Arnold’s agency is located at 15605 W. Roosevelt Street, Suite 103. To contact him, call 623-412-2244 or visit allstate.com/oscararnold. Yate’s agency is located at 13845 W. Test Drive. To contact her, call 623-932-1000 or visit allstate.com/ yatesinsurancegroup. Zipp’s agency is located at 2403 N. Pebble Creek Parkway, Suite 110. To contact him, call 623-208-6922 or allstate.com/peterzipp. Then, Lunch N Learn is approaching, with a focus on LongTerm Care: What is it and How to Pay for It? That event is set for noon Friday, July 6. This time, however, it won’t be at the chamber. Guests will meet at Wesley Norris Insurance Inc., 10328 W. Indian School Road, Suite 1, Phoenix. This is the insurance agency’s first Lunch N Learn.

Lunch will be provided, but be sure to RSVP in advance. For more information or to RSVP, contact Wesley Norris at 623-224-4226. Then, the biweekly Friday Business Connections is back, but this time with a twist. Particularly noteworthy this one is, as it will be a field trip to Angel’s Diner. The Southwest Valley Chamber of

Commerce-produced event will meet from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Friday, July 13. Friday Business Connections is a free event, but this week won’t have breakfast sponsored. For more information, contact Jacob Mann at 623-932-2260 or info@ southwestvalleychamber.org. Angel’s Diner is located at 13530 W. Van Buren Street, Suite A-104, Goodyear. And finally, later that day, Christian Brothers Automotive will hold a grand opening ceremony. Located at 12337 W. Camelback Road, Litchfield Park, the event will kick off at noon. Refreshments and other surprises will be available, according to the chamber. For more information on the business, visit cbac.com/litchfield-park. That’s all the briefs for this week!

Babbo Italian Eatery coming to Goodyear in 2019 By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Babbo Italian Eatery is bringing its “bold, fresh flavors” to Goodyear in early 2019, making it the ninth location in the family-owned, local company. The exact location has not been revealed. “We’re all across the Valley from Surprise to Mesa,” said Ken Pollack, founder. The restaurants are Pollack’s longtime passion, as he opened the doors to the first Babbo in Glendale in 2002. “Babbo” is an ode to his role as father; Babbo is Italian for “daddy.” “The name reflects how important it is for me to be a good dad and a good father,” said Pollack, who has been in the business for 25 years. “I was a single dad at the time (I started the restaurant). When I met my wife I have right now, she was a single mom. Just being ‘dad’ to all those kids was real important for me. “We have four children altogether. We had a merger and acquisition between us. It’s been great. All of them are our kids. There’s no distinguishing between biological or nonbiological. They’re all my kids and I love them all

Tigers have their eyes on offseason play By Eric Newman

The Millennium Tigers football team has produced four straight 4-6 seasons, underwhelming for a team that had consecutive winning records from 2007 to 2013. The team is on its third coach since 2013, and Lamar Early, who took the job last July, is in his first full offseason with the group. However, with plenty of returning talent and a roster many dub its best, the team believes this is the year that run of losing seasons is broken.

Millennium soccer star headed to Yuma’s AWC

By Ron Sanzone

Goodyear native Nicole Acosta is bringing her championship resume to Yuma, as the Millennium High School graduate was named head coach of the Arizona Western College women’s soccer team in June. Acosta, who has helped guide teams to championships at the high school and collegiate levels, seeks to have a positive impact on the lady Matadors. “Being able to get girls to next level and help them accomplish and reach the dreams they might have,” is among her goals, Acosta said. “I’m excited to be their resource and help them make connections wherever they plan on going afterward.” Acosta’s previous coaching stints include assistant positions at Millennium, Paradise Valley Community College and Scottsdale Community College. She has also served as head coach at Banat, a youth soccer club, and, last season at Phoenix’s Maya High School. As a member of PVCC’s coaching staff in 2012, Acosta helped the team go undefeated and win a national championship. Last year, she guided Maya to the Canyon Athletic Association state title. And she did so in an unusual way. Acosta coached the men’s and coed team, the latter of which won the state title. She said it is uncommon for a woman to coach a men’s team, and that it presented its own difficulties. “I feel like soccer is soccer, but earning respect from males was a little more challenging,” she said. She earned the respect she sought by spending a significant amount of time playing with them during practices. And she said she believes those experiences will ultimately improve her coaching of females. “After that, I feel more confident coaching women wherever, especially at a college level,” she said. Acosta’s experience and success has led her to the young, but improving, program at AWC. The coaching position unexpectedly became open after Alexia Poon departed for another coaching position despite coming up just one game short of reaching last year’s women’s national tournament. AWC Athletic Director Jerry Smith hired Acosta because he believes she

can take the program to the next level. “We’re looking for someone who can move our soccer program forward,” he said. “We felt that she’s at a point in her career where she’s ready to do that. I think people are really looking forward to having her join our family.” Before Acosta began coaching, she played prep soccer at Millennium and then collegiately at PVCC and ASU before spending a couple of seasons on a semipro team. She demonstrated versatility by playing three positions: center fullback, midfielder and forward. She believes her varied experiences as a player translate into coaching. “I played at almost every level previously,” she said, enabling her “to say been there done that, here’s how I did it, and help the girls to do that.” Perhaps the greatest obstacle Acosta will face at AWC is not something that can be diagrammed on a blackboard or drilled on a field. More than transitioning to a new position, she is transitioning to a new community. “The most difficult part of (the relocation) is leaving my family because I’ve never left them,” she said. With recruiting underway and players reporting on August 2, the professional and personal adaptations will have to come soon.

Goodyear’s pickleball-playing doctor returns from African mission By Eric Newman Dr. Sheryl Zimmerman, a pediatrician who has lived in Goodyear since December, heard a woman speak last year of the poverty and despair many Democratic Republic of the Congo residents suffer from. She knew immediately she had to travel there to attempt to make a difference. “I had a very strong feeling come over me that I needed to go and see what I could do to help the children in this country,” she said. Zimmerman set out for the central African country that she described “as Third World as Third World countries get,” for three weeks with a service group called Congo Rising to provide pediatric medicine and education to local children. The kids didn’t have the resources to fight and cure simple ailments. Having never ventured to Africa, Zimmerman said she was shocked to see the squalor of hospitals and clinics. It was a quick lesson in medicine and the conditions other folks live in, just on the other side of the ocean. “The most important thing I learned is how desperately poor most of the people are there, and what little medical

care is available there,” she said. “Children don’t have their basic needs met there, and I saw malnourished, starving children everywhere I turned.” However, the trip was an overall positive experience for Zimmerman. In three weeks, she met many incredible people, including a Catholic priest who returned to his home country after finishing two Ph. D programs to educate locals on basic health and wellness, and multiple others who are dedicating their lives to improving those of the Congolese residents. The trip impacted her so much that she plans to return in May 2019, this time with a group of premedical students from Southern Utah University, who will work on a research project on global health care. Until that time comes, though, Zimmerman turns to pickleball, which many refer to as a hybrid between tennis and ping-pong, primarily playing with groups in Goodyear nearly six days a week. “I really get obsessed with it,” she said. With the stress of service trips to the Congo and everyday troubles that arise

from pediatric medicine, she said the sport allows her to relax and exercise. She is enjoying her life in Arizona. “There are times when you can just smack the ball really hard, and it’s just such a stress reliever,” she said. “And then sometimes we get laughing so hard we can’t even play for a couple minutes. I just love it.”

WV graduates earn Dorrance Foundation scholarships By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Three West Valley teens have the opportunity to attend ASU and NAU, thanks to the Dorrance Foundation for Education, based in Tempe. Buckeye Union High School’s Anthony Hernandez is headed to ASU; Jose Caballero from Agua Fria High School will attend NAU; while Jacqueline Corral-Armas of Tolleson Union High School will study at NAU. The Dorrance Merit Scholarship was established by Jacquie and Bennet Dorrance at the Arizona Community Foundation in 1999 with 10 awards. What is now the Dorrance Scholarship Programs at the Dorrance Foundation for Education has awarded more than 500 scholarships, representing an investment of more than $40 million by the Dorrances. “From the program’s inception, we have wanted to focus on good students who strove to be the first in their families to go to college; students in whom we saw great potential to grow; students

The Dorrance Foundation for Education has awarded scholarships to 36 graduates from 31 high schools across Arizona. The students will attend one of the state’s three public universities this fall. The total educational and programmatic value of each scholarship is estimated at more than $100,000. (Photo courtesy Dorrance Foundation for Education)

we thought could benefit greatly from exposure to a program, one-on-one mentoring, and the rewarding gift of camaraderie and character building with peers,” Jacquie Dorrance said. Dorrance Scholarship Programs are available annually to up to 36 high school graduates who meet precise eligibility requirements that include: first generation to attend college;

demonstrated financial need; meeting minimum GPA and test scores; admission to ASU, NAU or UA; and proven leadership and volunteer service. The scholarship offers $12,000 per year for a total of eight semesters of full-time, undergraduate study and is maintained based on academic standing, program participation and volunteerism. The total educational and programmatic

value of each scholarship is estimated at more than $100,000. “It is a cliché that college transforms students, but this truism is especially accurate regarding ﬁrst-generation college students, like the Dorrance Scholars,” Executive Director James Hensley said. “Through its mentoring and enrichment programs, the Dorrance Scholarship aims to complement the undergraduate experience and foster transformation, introducing students to innovative people and ideas, foreign places, natural beauty and great works of art.” About 98 percent of students complete the Dorrance program graduate, compared with 11 percent of first-generation, low-income students nationally. Four of five students complete the program. The application for next school year will go live on October 1 at dorrancescholarship.org/applicants/. The deadline is February 6 for Arizona high school seniors.

St. Peter’s Montessori introducing bilingual program in fall By Aliyah Chavez

The 54-year-old St. Peter’s Montessori School will introduce a bilingual program in the fall. The Spanish and English program was adopted after recent research showed the benefits of brain development in bilingual children, according to Bonnie Shearer, head of school at St. Peter’s Montessori School. “We are thrilled to be able to integrate Spanish into our curriculum,” she said in a statement. A 2010 study published in the

Review of Education Research found that bilingual children have increased attention and memory and can code switch more quickly, among other things. This ongoing research, coupled with 26.9 percent of Arizonans who speak more than one language at home, spurred the school’s staff to integrate a bilingual program for their students. Founded in Litchfield Park in 1964, St. Peter’s began as a one-room school building and has since evolved to

OBITUARIES

Kirk D. Nelson Kirk Donavon Nelson, forty-seven, died in Phoenix, Arizona, June 17, 2018, after a grueling three-year battle with salivary-gland cancer. He had been under the care of “Wings of Hope” hospice for several months. He was born November 20, 1971, in Mankato, Minnesota. Kirk is survived by his parents, Donald and Yvette Nelson of Goodyear, Arizona, and is also survived by brothers Kraig, K. David, Scott, and nephew Rylan, all residing in metropolitan Phoenix. A Christian, and for many years a born-again Christian, he firmly believed that his death was not the end, but a joyous beginning in meeting Jesus face to face in eternity. Kirk packed a great deal of living in his forty-seven years as a popular student and an outstanding tennis player for Mankato East High School. As a student there, he was elected “Class President” of the student body and his leadership skills were recognized by the late Minnesota Governor, Dr. Rudy Perpich, in which Kirk received a “Certificate of Leadership” award and, as 1989-‘90 President of the Student Council, a commendation for numerous service-oriented projects for the Mankato community. As a young man, Kirk traveled nationwide with his parents, and spent one of his most memorable afternoons with President and Mrs. Jimmy Carter in Plains, Georgia. Additionally, his extensive international travel continued throughout his life, including Asia, Europe, Canada, and Mexico. Shortly after high school graduation, he decided to join his older brothers’ in Arizona where he attended the Arizona Institute of Business and Technology while earning a degree in Criminal Justice and Corrections. Soon, the Hilton Corporation beckoned; specifically, a luxurious Hilton Resort known as “The Pointe Hilton at Tapatio Cliffs.” The grand Phoenix Resort boasts Hilton’s flagship dining-room in metropolitan Phoenix: The Different Pointe of View. Kirk spent the rest of his life working as a food and beverage professional in this world-class dining room. His friends and co-workers graciously supported Kirk to the very end of his life. In keeping with a life fulfilled, Kirk loved sports! He especially followed and revered all teams from Minnesota. As a case in point, he was the football-poolimpresario at the “Different Point of View” for many years; notwithstanding, his admiration and absolute devotion to the venerable group, the Grateful Dead. For over three decades he attended hundreds of Grateful Dead concerts across America. While Kirk suffered excruciating pain throughout his long endurance with cancer, he fought his nemesis in a spirit of uncompromising boldness. As one last gracious gesture, he donated his body to science as a hope that much could be learned about his rare cancer, with the possibility that the research could provide a benefit to others afflicted with this disease. There will be no services, however, should you wish to contribute to an organization in Kirk’s memory, memorials may be directed to St. Joseph’s Foundation, 350 W. Thomas Road, Phoenix, AZ 85013; or www.supportstjosphes.org.
