Valley housing market dashing toward balance BY PAUL MARYNIAK
West Valley View Staff Writer
T
he Valley’s leading analyst of the Phoenix Metro housing market last week predicted that the entire region could see a balanced market — with supply meeting demand — by September. Buckeye is almost there, according to the Cromford Report, and likely will be the first to achieve this month what the Valley hasn’t seen in more than three years anywhere. “Buckeye will be a balanced market during the first two weeks of July with that balance looking like it will swing more towards buyers with every day that passes,” the Cromford Report said. “Queen Creek and Maricopa are about one week behind Buckeye. We then have Cave Creek, Chandler, Gilbert, Peoria, Phoenix, Surprise and Tempe all in a similar condition. Their markets are cooling rapidly and look likely to move into the balance zone within a matter of weeks rather than months. Unless the current trends change, we could be in a buyer’s market across much of Central Arizona by the beginning of September.” The trend is a stunning reversal for a mar-

Avondale Mayor Kenneth Weise new MAG chair BY JORDAN ROGERS
West Valley View Staff Writer
A
vondale Mayor Kenneth Weise is set to become the chair for the Maricopa Association of Governments Regional Council. Elected at the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) annual meeting on June 22, Weise will serve a one-year term. While Weise said he does feel honored that he was elected, he wasn’t always in-
terested in the chair position. “Actually, I had no interest in being chair, and not because it’s not a great position, it’s just a lot of time,” Weise said. “There’s a lot of dedicated time that has to go with it. I work two jobs and I’m back in school, so I didn’t want to take the role without being able to give my effort to it.” Despite his multiple hats, Weise said he’s confident he can add another to the support system he has with the city of Avondale
and with MAG. “I have a great team at the city of Avondale and a great team with MAG and they said, ‘it’s the next logical step,’” he said. “With SR 30 being part of Prop 400, and then the homeless initiatives, Avondale is right in the middle of it. So, to kind of walk away from that right now; it just didn’t feel right.”

Weise...continued from page 1 As the agency’s new chair, Weise identified two key priorities: shepherding a long-range transportation plan through funding approval, and continuing to work regionally to end homelessness. Part of that long-range transportation plan is MOMENTUM 2050 — the name of the project that encapsulates that transportation plan. That plan, however, hinges on the public’s voter approval of the extension of the halfcent sales tax for transportation known as Proposition 400. “So going forward with the vote with Prop 400, getting that to the voters is a big deal,” Weise said. “I think bringing energy to that discussion, being able to mobilize the other mayors and other officials of MAG and say, ‘Hey, we need you to go out there and really sell this,’ I think it’s going to take an all-hands-on deck effort, and I think I’m the person who can do that.” In all, transportation is something Weise values very highly. For him, transportation provides connection — which is vital for the state. “It’s the one thing that connects all parts of the valley and takes our products and drives them to other markets,” Weise said. “Not only in the United States, but Mexico. So, Arizona is centered to be that international transportation hub. Roads, light rail, heavy rail and buses connect all parts of the valley, and I think that’s the important part of this discussion.” Another high-priority topic for Weise is homelessness in the Valley. He said that no single city truly handles homelessness well, but that the Pathways Home Regional Homelessness Action Plan gives cities “the resources, the manpower and the knowledge to tackle homelessness.” He plans on continuing the implementation of the plan that was passed by MAG last year. “When I drive through our city or any city, it’s heartbreaking to me when I see people sleeping in a tent, or people sleeping on a bus stop,” Weise said. “As a society, that tells you that we failed. We failed them, we failed society. It becomes generational then. It perpetuates the problems that we have,

and I really want to get a handle on that. “Is that feasible over one year? Probably not. But can we lay the groundwork for future success? I think we can.” Weise maintains that his ability to have the difficult conversations will serve him well as chair of MAG. He said he will stand up for what he believes and will not back down from confrontation for the greater good of Maricopa County and for Avondale. “I think there’s a respectful way to stand up for what you believe in and push for what’s imMayor Kenneth Weise, the new MAG chair, “will not back portant,” he said. “I’m the down from confrontation.” (City of Avondale/Submitted) chairman of MAG, and that means I represent the entire orga- West Valley is an important cog in nization.

While a sudden flood of new listings might be welcome by prospective buyers, the Cromford Report said they may be in for more heartache — and that sellers will be grabbing their crying towels along with them. That’s partly because home prices remain at record levels and rising interest rates appear to be dousing buyers’ interest. “The last two months have been dismal for the Greater Phoenix housing market, with demand fading sharply and supply

growing at one of the fastest paces we have ever witnessed,” the Cromford Report said. “Either trend would have been negative, but with both coming together we have had a very chilly wind blowing through the market. “For many weeks, we have been looking for some convincing sign of the relaxation of one or both of these trends,” it continued. “We have not found any. Instead, over the last week, the situation has turned significantly worse, at least from a seller’s viewpoint. And it is worse from both a demand and a supply perspective.” Realtor.com, an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors, said, “Affordability will continue to remain a challenge for anyone looking to buy
in the current market, as mortgage rates and home prices are not expected to drop this year; thankfully, they aren’t anticipated to grow as rapidly or significantly as they did earlier this year, though. “One strong positive is that the number of homes for sale is likely to increase as the year continues, meaning more options for buyers,” it continued. The Cromford Report based its predictions of the trend in the Phoenix Metro market on a variety of data it uses to compile the Cromford Market Index. The figures it arrives at each of the 17 major submarkets in the Valley indicate how close each community is to a balanced market, with numbers above 100 indicating a seller’s market and numbers below 100 favorable for buyers. For all of 2021 and the first three months of this year, its CMI showed numbers at times exceeding 500 — indicating markets heavily tilted toward sellers as supply shriveled. But the latest CMI shows a starkly different picture, with those figures falling between 31% and 42% from the previous month in 16 Valley municipalities. The only exception is Paradise Valley, where the CMI dropped only 5% but remains heavily weighted toward sellers at 234 and ranking second only to Fountain Hills, with 265. In the West Valley, Avondale registered 189 on Cromford’s market index — well below the 799 it registered a year ago this month. Glendale is now at 185 whereas in July 2021, the CMI was 495. Peoria is listed at 154, far below the 475 index rating it had a year ago. Buckeye in the last 12 months has fallen from 396 to 110. The identical trend has emerged in the East Valley. Chandler, a year ago, had the fourth most favorable market for sellers at 530; now, it has the 11th-most favorable seller’s market at 156. Similarly, Gilbert has fallen from 490 in July 2021 to 156 while Mesa has dwindled
from 433 to 184. Scottsdale retains a relatively high ranking for sellers, though its position has fallen from 451 to 327 in the past year. The Cromford Report noted that a wisp of panic among people trying to sell their homes before losing any advantage in the marketplace appears to be settling down. “The brighter sign is that the number of new listings over the past seven days is down from the extreme high of the week before,” it said on June 30. “At some point the seller stampede may run out of new sellers. This is not happening yet, but at least the rate at which sellers are joining the stampede is slowing.” Still, a few days earlier, it also said, “More homes are being listed for sale than at any time since 2011.” But it added, “We are not seeing forced selling, like we experienced during the foreclosure wave of 2007 to 2011. This is people electing to sell because they fear a fall in home prices. That fear is likely to be self-fulfilling. When so many attempt to make it to the exit door ahead of everyone else, people get hurt. “We do not pretend to know how much prices will fall in numeric or percentage terms, but the latest data suggests that it is already impossible for home prices to rise under the current market conditions,” it said. “As people get more anxious to dispose of their housing assets, price cuts are growing in number and size. The very top and bottom of the market are least affected, but the mid-range, where the vast majority of transactions occur, is experiencing a big freeze. “When a buyer’s strike and a seller’s stampede occur at the same time, the market stalls in mid-flight. A price correction becomes inevitable. The Federal Reserve has stated that they want to see a ‘reset in the housing market,’ and it looks increasingly likely that their wish will come true.”

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS
DUFFY’S OPINION — bradduffycartoons.com
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Pizzillo for mayor Editor: I have been watching Joe Pizzillo on the city council since he was elected in 2009. He stopped the mayor at that time from laying off police officers when he wanted to build a city hall instead. Joe Pizzillo stood up for the safety of our city then and has been committed to maintaining it since. I have witnessed that he possesses a commonsense approach when looking at the budget and his passion for our city is clear. He provides a point of reason when discussions start to run askew. Having read the information on his website, I see nothing that is a surprise. He is person who withholds judgment until he has all of the facts and understands the workings of a city. He has the experience we need as a mayor and the ability to help everyone work toward a common goal. Goodyear needs someone like Joe Pizzillo as our mayor, someone who will work with everyone to see that we grow responsibly and to hold the line on expenses while maintaining the quality city that we all love. Kylie Gamez Goodyear
Experience is key
Editor: The residents of Goodyear have two
very different candidates running for mayor. One candidate was not able to gather enough signatures to be on the ballot and is running as a write-in candidate. Obviously, she is too busy to put the work in. How will she be as mayor? Joe Pizzillo has the experience and patience to continue our city on the right path. He has been mayor since December 2021 and worked tirelessly to maintain the direction of our city as a place that people want to relocate to. Our city has grown significantly in the past 10 years, and we need someone who can dedicate the time necessary to do the job. Joe Pizzillo has a servant’s heart and lives his life each day serving others. I know he will do a great job for us as the Goodyear mayor because he always puts the needs of others before his own. Please join me in casting your vote for Joe Pizzillo for mayor. Blair Sapeta Goodyear
Steep prices at the pump
Editor: The gas prices are quite the shocker and, in reality, closer to the same as they have been in Western Europe for the last 20 years. If you did not know, we have been spoiled a bit over the years. For now, the advice is:
• Combine trips as much as possible and plan ahead. • Improve driving habits, use slower acceleration. • Drive more efficiently: red light ahead, start deceleration. • Stick with the speed limits • Keep your tire pressure where it needs to be and check monthly. • Use cruise control on the highway when possible. • Plan your route and find the shortest way. Hopefully this war in Ukraine will end soon and we can get back to a more normal price. In the meanwhile, reducing demand will save in the pocket book and may lower the price

The girl was 17, with a beehive hairdo piled to the sky and dreams of going to nursing school. She told her boyfriend the news after he got off work at the bicycle shop. The first of many conversations ensued. Abortion was still six years from becoming legal in New York, where the girl and the 18-year-old boy lived. Roe v. Wade was still nine years away from the United States Supreme Court. Still, there were ways. But they were illegal and dangerous and they cost an outrageous sum of money. In the end, the girl and the boy talked themselves into a decision. They drove one mid-August morning to a small town named Elkton on the Maryland
border. They brought with them two witnesses, themselves barely adults. The elopement complete, they returned to Queens, married. I was born six months later. My mother told me the story of her choice not to illustrate a political point, I believe, but to underscore that I was a choice, a defining one, a decision that changed the course of her life and my father’s. She eventually became a nurse, but it wasn’t for another 25 years. My father worked three jobs to put himself through night school to earn a college degree. That one choice led to a million sacrifices, disadvantages that could have been avoided with a single decision, to remove the tiny clump of cells that were only a few weeks along and — in my view — not yet human, a life in potential only. I remember asking my mother, “Why not get an abortion?” Her response: “I just couldn’t. I thought about it so much. But I loved your father, and I wanted to have his baby. So that was
it.” My mother, as liberal as they come, didn’t live to see the Friday in June when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. I know the news would have been a gut punch for her — a woman who herself had a choice and believed deeply that every woman should have the same freedom to choose. I can imagine her phone call and where the conversation would have taken us: to topics like personal freedom and the right of a woman and a man to decide their own destinies. We would have discussed sacrifice, because it was a theme my mother drilled into me until the day she died. We choose what we become, and every choice we make negates countless other choices. So choose thoughtfully and with love in your heart, because that is the way your parents chose to have you, son. They were fortunate to have such a choice, because not everyone does.
And now, after Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, that choice is gone for many women in many states. My mother, who chose one path for herself, never once spoke ill of the 17-year-old girls who chose a ride that didn’t lead to a courthouse in Maryland. “I could have had an abortion,” my mother told me. “That wasn’t my choice. But I understand it, because my life was never the same.” To say I’m glad my mother chose as she did will sound macabre, because without that choice there would be no column, no life, no me. So, let me say this instead: imagine if we each lived with consciousness that we are a choice, a set of sacrifices. Then we might not so easily trample the freedoms of others. And America might not be in the sad state in which we find it today. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com

Sports Illustrated story abandons balanced reporting

egular readers of this column will recall the lament expressed earlier in this space about ESPN’s descent into leftist political dogma. As previously noted, ESPN now stands for “Expect Sports Politicized
Nonstop.” But that media outlet is no outlier. Another well-known brand name in sports journalism has also proven itself ready and willing to choke you with “woke.” Sports Illustrated, which during the glory days of the magazine age was accustomed to a yearly outcry following publication of its “Annual Swimsuit Edition,” recently opted to clothe

opponents of public prayer in robes of righteousness. Writer Greg Bishop and his SI Editors will never be accused of subtlety, as Bishop’s cover story carried the title, “When Faith and Football Teamed Up Against American Democracy.” The sub-headline spelled out Bishop’s dubious assertion with greater clarity, stating, “The U.S. Supreme Court will soon decide the case of a football coach at a public high school who was told he wasn’t allowed to pray on the field in front of players. The expected result is a win for the coach — and the further erosion of the separation between church and state.” Got that? While a balanced assessment might compare the legal fight to a metaphorical “line of scrimmage” where different views of the First Amendment are in conflict, Bishop and Sports Illustrated choose to embrace and advocate a doctrine that does not appear anywhere in our Constitution. The story chronicles the saga of Joe Kennedy, an assistant football coach at Bremerton High School in the state of Washington, who ended up taking the school district to court. It contrasts Kennedy’s assertion of his First Amendment rights with the opposition of Rachel Laser, the presidentCEO of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Laser, who also served as the lead lawyer for the Bremerton School District in this matter, is portrayed sympathetically, “because this case, and others like it, have transported her to an alternate universe of disinformation and propaganda — and, in that world, even democracy is in danger,” writes Bishop. But in the real world, democracy is not endangered. Instead, legitimate dissent from leftist orthodoxy is imperiled. The strategy is fiendishly clever:

employ the pressure of popular culture and amplify it through the press to ridicule, diminish and ultimately disregard constitutional principles. Greg Bishop’s narrative seeks to employ one portion of the First Amendment, freedom of the press, against another: freedom of religion. And undergirding it all is (surprise, surprise) a rather unflattering assessment of Christian conservatives. Bishop writes that the base of that group “was reinvigorated over the past seven years, anyway. That owes mostly to Donald Trump’s presidency, his proposed Muslim ban and anti-immigration stances, his border wall and inciting rhetoric, and his appointments of religious conservatives to the judiciary’s most powerful positions.” It is that last assertion in Bishop’s “bill of indictment” that prompts the Shakespearean exclamation, “There’s the rub!” How dare President Trump follow the Constitution and appoint prospective Supreme Court justices, whose nominations were then duly approved by the United States Senate? And how dare that new conservative Supreme Court majority vote to reverse legal precedents that were not based on the enumerated powers within that same Constitution? Greg Bishop’s writing is protected by the aforementioned First Amendment; so is freedom of religion. Please note: that’s freedom of religion, not freedom from religion. And again, it’s worth noting that the phrase “separation of church and state” does not appear anywhere in the Constitution. To employ the shopworn saying from sports, “You can look it up.” J.D. Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. House from 1995-2007. He authored and sponsored the Enforcement First Act, legislation that would have mandated enforcement of Federal Immigration Law in the 109th Congress.

Compassion needed in a post-Roe world BY JUDY BLUHM

oe vs. Wade. Three little words. Millions of opinions, celebrations, protests, anguish and jubilation. We have entered a new era, like it or not. Maybe our views, pro or con on the ruling, don’t matter as much as our actions, especially in the days ahead. Political lines have been drawn. Chaos will ensue. The lawsuits are coming, but so are the babies. And more than ever, we will need to find ways to support women and children. A society’s greatness is judged by the way it wraps its arms around and lifts the poor, weak, injured and vulnerable. The Roe vs. Wade decision will mean that there will be women and
girls having babies that they don’t want. There will be problems to solve. It can cost thousands to have a baby. Some states did not expand Medicare to the working poor, so there will be questions as to who will be responsible to foot the bill. If a minor has a baby, is she able to place the infant up for adoption without parental consent? Although the incidence of rape and incest resulting in pregnancy is statistically low, how will these girls and women be supported? Counseling, child care and financial assistance is only the beginning. Our country has a costly legal system when it comes to adoption. According to the organization American Adoptions, the average cost to adopt a baby is $70,000. Of the 400,000 children currently in the foster care system, 115,000 are waiting to be adopted, since they can never
be returned to their families. While these seem like daunting numbers and enormous challenges, we are America. We can do this. We have money and resources. We need to allocate more funds in a direction that helps every woman who feels alone and desperate, starting on a journey that she never wanted. We have two generations who lived with the freedom of choice. Now we embark on a different path. Before the legalization of abortion, teenage girls often went to the “girls’ homes” and had their babies quietly, signing off all rights after their baby was born, and then going back to school and their life. Many girls were not allowed to attend high school while pregnant, and there was no home schooling. Major stigma was attached to having a baby out of wedlock. It was socially di-

sastrous. Times have changed. I know a little about adoption. My biological mother was 15 years old and gave birth to me in one of those “girls’ homes.” At seven days old a nurse drove me 200 miles to my adoptive parents. My records were sealed. I am glad I had the chance at life. But I also know that it is not easy for a girl to have a baby. Not then. Not now. States must be willing to help women raise or place a child in adoptive care. This is the mission ahead of us. It’s our moon landing. A defining moment for our society while Americans remain passionately divided. In a post-Roe world, we’ll need real solutions, not rhetoric.

Business Briefcase
BY SCIANNA GARCIA
West Valley View Staff Writer

usinesses are continuing to sprout all over the West Valley, and this week we’ll look at Goodyear’s newest Caribbean cuisine spot.
Ocho Rios Jerk Spot lands in Goodyear Location: 13291 W. McDowell Road Ocho Rios Jerk Spot will open later this month in Goodyear, marking its second Arizona location. Ocho Rios, which translates to “eight rivers” in Spanish, is named after the town in Jamaica in which the co-owner Chris “Mr. Sweets”
Lyons grew up. This “jerk spot” is inspired by jerk chicken — slowcooked meat coated in traditional, spicy spices, then marinated for one to two days. Although jerk chicken is one of the most requested items, Ocho Rios also carries pork, shrimp and fish variations. Along with the jerk chicken, popular menu items include curry goat, featuring goat marinated in fresh curry, herbs, spices, then braised and stewed; and the oxtail, a beef dish prepared for special occasions. They also serve beef patties, a flaky pastry commonly filled with a combination of seasoned ground beef, onions, garlic and spices, and shaped like
a half moon. Ocho Rios goes beyond serving food. It hosts a mélange of events, true to the traditional Caribbean experience. Rum Punch and Brunch Sundays, the only Caribbean brunch in Arizona, sees Paul “DJ Skoolboi” Ellis spinning with guest on the decks. The brunch provides an authentic Jamaican breakfast of jerk chicken and waffles, ackee and saltfish, callaloo, yam, boiled banana, fried breadfruit, fried dumpling and a variety of porridges. Irie Fridays blends reggae and hiphop performances from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Saturdays features Afro Soca, where customers will hear dancehall, hip-hop, rumba and reggaeton.
Lyons and co-founder Theressa Miller said, in a statement, that they’re opening a Goodyear restaurant to meet demand for Caribbean food in the West Valley. With this new location, Ocho Rios’ west side fans won’t have to travel into Phoenix to get a taste of their favorite island flavor. For more information, visit ochoriosjerkspot.com

Lincoln Property Co. plans next mega project WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 6, 2022
L
BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
PC Desert West, the Southwest arm of Dallas-based Lincoln Property Co., has completed a $53 million, 140-acre land acquisition in Glendale for Luke Field. The $515 million, 2.3 million-squarefoot development is bordered by Litchfield Road, Northern Avenue, the new Northern Parkway and Luke Air Force Base. It is minutes from the Loop 303. When complete, Luke Field will include three buildings totaling 1.26 million square feet, 604,000 square feet and 416,000 square feet. All buildings will have the high-end “creative industrial” amenities, like another LPC project, Park303. Luke Field is named after the adjacent Luke Air Force Base, home to the 56th Fighter Wing, part of the Air Education and Training Command, the largest fighter wing in the U.S. Air Force. “We have a history of connection to Luke Air Force Base, so the ability to purchase this land and develop near the base,
within this powerhouse industrial submarket, is something we will truly enjoy,” said David Krumwiede, Lincoln Property Co. senior executive vice president. Krumwiede and LPC Vice President John Orsak have served as honorary commanders for Luke’s 56th Fighter Wing. “Our industrial projects build above and beyond in quality and modern capability. This project will be no different,” Orsak said. “We have countless global industrial users looking to establish major operations within the Loop 303 and Northern Parkway corridors. Luke Field is designed to attract those tenants and the economic and employment stability that they represent for the Valley.” Features of Luke Field will include 40foot clear height, touchless technology throughout, 25-foot-tall glass entries, 3,000 amps of power (expandable), automated dock doors, steel moment frame shear bracing and generous 5-foot by 10-foot clerestory windows on all elevations, providing sky views and shifting natural light.

Indoor/outdoor amenities will include barbecue stations, a shaded outdoor eating area and employee collaboration spaces. The project will provide extensive car and secure trailer parking.

Dave McKay is back, sharing his wisdom BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI
A
rizona Diamondbacks first base coach, Dave McKay, is known for his meticulous strategies and analyses. His efforts are appreciated, and they were missed during the 2021 season after he fell, broke a rib and lacerated his spleen in a fall. The 72-year-old beloved McKay was surprised by the response to his injury. “I don’t know why,” the subdued, polite McKay said about the buoyant reaction to his return. “I’m just out there doing what I love to do. It was nice to know that they (fans) remember who I was last year.” Back in the swing of things, McKay remains passionate about the game that captured his attention as a teenager in Vancouver.
“I always loved the game,” he said. “I’ve always loved the game as a player, and I think I love it even more as a coach. I like helping players with the little things — the struggles and the ways I found to get through them. “The exciting part is knowing I can help this guy with this. I can speed things up; just making the player better. It’s like any job. I’m a nitpicky guy, whether it’s a perfectionist or whatever. I keep them on a straight line doing all the things the right way so they will be better players.” McKay does so with the utmost respect. When players arrive on first base, he shares his wisdom, often with his hand on the athlete’s side. Catcher Carson Kelly can attest to that. “Mac has been great,” Kelly said. “He

notices the little details about baserunning in the game. I’m not the quickest guy out there, but I’ve found ways to be more efficient on the base path to get from base to base much quicker. “Those little details can mean being safe at home or being out by one step. He’s very good looking at the small details to help us get an advantage.” Kelly doesn’t diminish McKay’s position. “Baserunning is one of those things that get overwritten a little bit,” he said. “Most people are worried about hitting and defense and things like that. But baserunning is extremely important. He takes it seriously and we do as a team. I feel like it helps us get that little advantage when we’re going around the bases.” McKay is modest about compliments. Looking back on the 52-110 2021 season, he said he just looked forward to cleaning it up this year — in person. McKay fell against a metal railing in the dugout, breaking a rib and lacerating his spleen during the March 8, 2021, Spring Training game against the San Francisco Giants. “The one thing I learned last year is you could text and get on the phone and talk to people,” he said with a sly grin. “It’s not even close, though, to looking them in the eye and saying, ‘Are you hearing what I’m saying?’ Then, they get your point. I get to watch them all day, rather than just watching on television and getting shots of them here and there.” He said he’s impressed with the success of new pitching coach Brent Strom, a longtime Tucson resident. “I think the pitching coaches have the toughest job in the world,” he said. “And Torey (Lovullo, manager) is so solid. I have never, ever seen him panicking. “He just shows a lot of trust in his players. The players comment all the time that they know he has their backs. I know he has our backs, too, as coaches. He’s a believer. He has a good way of communicating with players. He turns
on that switch and you’ll see the other side. When he does get upset, everybody listens like deer in headlights.”
Late bloomer McKay didn’t play high school baseball, growing up in the Vancouver area. He focused more on soccer and basketball; baseball wasn’t a priority. “When I graduated, I played in a tournament in Oregon, some college coach saw me and offered me a basketball and baseball scholarship,” he said. “At Creighton University, all of a sudden, I started to enjoy playing the game that I was now learning how to play. It’s crazy to think that now I’m here, 52 years later, and I’m still wearing baseball uniforms. I’m not the smartest guy in the world, but I just love the game of baseball.” He loves how he can help his players improve, thanks to Tony LaRussa, whom he calls a fellow nitpicker. “There are so many veteran coaches he could have had, instead of this mid30-year-old guy,” he recalls about his hiring by La Russa. “But he saw somebody who was willing to do the things he said and work at it. He helped me a lot. I spent 26 years with him, and I learned a ton from him.” Third baseman Josh Rojas said McKay has helped him improve his game. “He comes to us every day with tips and tricks on what the pitchers do that they don’t even know they do,” said Rojas, a West Valley native. “I just, 5 minutes ago, had a meeting with him on the pitcher for tonight, what to look for, things we might see and what will give us an edge on getting extra bases.” To McKay, keeping an eye on his runners as well as the defense is a game. “Last night we tried to steal a base and tried to get a jump on it,” he said about a Miami Marlins game. “Don Mattingly was a little smarter than I was. We were thrown out. It’s like a chess game with the other manager. That’s all it takes.”

Dr. Kevin Gasser changes lives one smile at a time BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor
“
Gratifying” is a word Dr. Kevin Gasser frequently uses when he describes his dental career. He’s spent 27 years in Arizona practicing dentistry and has since become a leader in providing the patented “allon-four,” a full arch of teeth on just four implants. “Dental implants give patients who never thought they’d be able to eat, speak and smile in comfort again with a brandnew set of beautiful, nonremovable and functional implanted teeth,” he said. “Prior to the innovation of sophisticated technology, it would commonly take patients up to 18 months to get new teeth. This was because multiple dental implant procedures, complex bone grafting and soft tissue management techniques were required for a patient to get a full set of new teeth. Now, with the latest medication protocol, superior parts and modern techniques, most patients can get a new smile in one day.” Gasser and his team are committed to creating life transformations for their patients by utilizing patient-specific dental implant solutions and by delivering the “best combination of quality, experience, comfort, care and price.” Just as important is listening to patients.
“In my practice, there are no handoffs to other doctors or other facilities,” he said. “I personally take care of all our patients from initial diagnosis to end-oftreatment follow-up care. At Gasser Dental, we focus on an accelerated treatment plan that is time efficient yet respects science and nature.” While he’s proud of his sophisticated technology, Gasser stresses the importance of preventative care. But he and his staff do not judge patients for their dental conditions. “We cater to those who are afraid of dental treatment,” he added. “The time, costs and technology have never been better for smile restorations. When investigating dental implants, remember that experience, quality and protocol matters. “Because we are passionate about what we do at Gasser Dental, we are currently offering each new patient a free, no-obligation exam and free iCat scan to all who want to investigate new smile options.”
Impressive résumé A graduate of West Virginia University with a doctor in dental surgery, Gasser has spent the ensuing decades of private practice keeping up on technology and practices.

“I have dedicated myself to advanced education and have completed 1,500plus hours of additional education and have graduated from a variety of schools and clinics.” • The Malo Clinic in Lisbon, Portugal, under the tutelage of Dr. Paulo Malo, the man who developed the “all-onfour” dental implant technology. • The Misch International Implant Institute, which was founded by Dr. Carl Misch, an innovator in dental implantology. • The Las Vegas Dental Implant Institute. • The USC IV Sedation Certification Program. • The USC Advanced Bone Graft Program. • International Congress of Oral Implantology. • The Dale Carnegie Training Center. The training allows Gasser to customize treatments for his patients. One consistent aspect is the use of quality materials. He uses premium implants by Noble Biocare; top-quality restoration materials that deliver the best combination of cosmetics, strength, biocompatibility and longevity; and evidence-based IV sedation and post-operative pain management protocols proven effective and safe for more than 25 years. “Dental implants are a means to an end,” he said. “A beautiful, functional,

HOW TO WRITE AN OBITUARY Writing is intimidating for most people. Even those who write regularly get writer’s block, lose motivation and procrastinate. It can be even harder to write when announcing the death of a loved one. When someone passes away, an obituary is usually published to announce the death. This can be difficult and emotional for the person tasked with writing the final record of a person’s life. Not only does the obituary need to be factually accurate and sensitive, but it will need to be published shortly after the death and before the funeral. Despite the feelings of grief that will arise, writing the obituary should be a positive, cathartic experience. Use this guide to address the challenges of writing the obituary, so you can focus on your loved one and the special life they lived. 1. Gather information: Start by gathering your loved one’s basic information, including: • Full legal name • Nickname • Birthdate and death date • Birthplace • City and state of residence at death • Name of significant other • Full names of parents and siblings • Names of those that preceded them in death • Names of those surviving • Date and time of funeral services being held • Name of funeral home and cemetery If funeral arrangements have not yet been made, you can always include the name of the funeral home and state “arrangements are being made” or “funeral to take place at a later date.” If the ceremony is to be private, note that instead. Those interested can contact the funeral home for more information. 2. Check with the newspaper/ Deadlines You can go to the the Obituary tab on EastValleyTribune.com or Ahwatukee.

Ahwatukee Foothills News: Deadline is Friday bay 9am. 3. Write Once you have gathered the basic information and checked with the newspaper, it is time to to write the obituary. As you begin to write about your loved one’s life, go into as much or little detail as you would like. If you’re unsure what to write about, include the following: • Childhood • Education • Military background • Honors and awards • Marriage • Children • Grandchildren • Employment • Extra-curricular activities • Retirement • Home life • Special pet 4. Make it personal Your loved one was unique. Think about the things that made them special, and include the touching details that your reader might like to know about your loved one. This is your chance to memorialize your loved one and let others know the whole person. 5. Proofread and edit Once the initial draft is written, be sure to proof your work and have someone else check it for spelling and grammatical errors. Make sure you spell names correctly and don’t leave out family members or other important details. 6. Delegate If all the above seems overwhelming or you just don’t feel up to it—delegate! Writing the obituary shouldn’t be a stressful time. If you don’t feel up to it
or you aren’t confident in your writing ability, pass the task on to someone who enjoys writing or that is good at writing letters. You can provide them with the information, make suggestions, and they can take notes. Make this easy on yourself. Don’t feel guilty about passing the task along if you are not up to it. Friends and family are glad to help in times of need. 7. Submit to the newspaper In order to ensure that the obituary reaches the paper without errors, submit the obituary online at obituaries. EastValleyTribune.com or email obits@ eastvalleytribune.com. You can also ask for a proof of the obituary before it is printed so you can ensure there are no errors or omissions. 8. Avoiding common mistakes: Use this list to avoid common mistakes and to make the task of writing the obituary easier. • Don’t make the obituary about those still living—make it about your loved one. • Include information about your loved one’s life, not just the funeral details. • Write in the third person and refer to your loved one as an individual, not as Mom or Dad or our son or our daughter. • When considering memorials, consider your loved one’s wishes—not your own. • Proofread and proofread again. • Double-check the spelling of all names. • Have a close family member look over the obituary to make sure you haven’t missed anything.

Trivium Prep grad receives Dorrance Scholarship
BY SUMMER AGUIRRE
West Valley View Staff Writer
T
rivium Preparatory Academy graduate Sally Tan is looking forward to spending the next four years at ASU, thanks to a Dorrance Scholarship. The scholarship award is worth more than $100,000 over four years and exclusive to first-generation college students. The Goodyear resident is one of 60 high school seniors to win the prize. “I approached a handful of students, but she was the one who took that ball and ran with it,” said April Heuseveldt, Tan’s college counselor at Trivium Prep. “So, in some ways, it makes perfect sense in my mind that they wanted to up and grab her and make her part of that program.” While Heuseveldt believed that her student would be “an amazing fit” for the award from the get-go, Tan was initially skeptical of the program. After she applied, she put it out of her mind. “When I got semi-finalist for Dorrance, I was still like, ‘This is as far as I’ll get,’” she said. “Then when I actually got it, I was very pleasantly surprised.” For Tan, who emigrated from China when she was 5, the experience of being the first in her family to attend college has had its “ups and downs.” She explained that the generational gap and language barrier between her and her family can be a challenge. “I think lacking that supportive family has been a struggle, because they’re just going to be a source to go to when I have questions about college and stuff like that,” Tan said. “So having Dorrance as support has been incredibly, incredibly helpful.” The award is through the Dorrance Foundation, which was established in 1999 by the Dorrance family and has
awarded over 560 scholarships exceeding $54 million. This is the program’s 23rd year and largest class of scholars, according to a statement. High school seniors are eligible to apply for the Dorrance Scholarship if they have a minimum cumulative 3.0 GPA, demonstrate financial need through FAFSA and are accepted into one of Arizona’s three state universities. The following rounds of the application process include submitting writing samples and recommendation letters, and conducting in-person interviews. In addition to receiving financial assistance, Dorrance Scholars live on their university campus during their underclassmen years. They are required to attend monthly meetings with fellow scholars, participate in volunteer service, study full time and maintain a grade point average of at least 3.0. The summer prior to beginning their college education in the fall, the foundation also supports a bridge program, international study and travel, an innovative entrepreneurship experience and mentoring and tutoring. Tan is attending ASU this fall and is in its five-week summer bridge program, which is dedicated to helping incoming students strengthen their academics and acclimate to university life. She plans to study psychology, a passion sparked by her personal experiences with mental health and desire to help those who need mental support. Initially, she was looking into becoming a therapist; however, she now hopes to pursue psychiatry. “It’s a new stage of my life, and honestly, I didn’t think I was going to make it this far,” said Tan about the beginning of her college career. “It’s exciting to be here. I feel like I’ll have more

She was involved in musical theater, chess club, orchestra club, pre-med and volunteered through Trivium Service Organization — topping off her high school education as valedictorian of her graduating class. She credits her educators and friends as her main supporters, and expressed her gratitude for the community she had at her high school and the education she was given. “I feel like her classmates really valued having her in class with them,” Heuseveldt said. “She’s always somebody that values other people’s perspective and listens, and at the same time is not afraid to share her own. So it makes it fun to have her in the classroom as well as for me as a counselor — it was fun for me to have those oneon-one times with her.”

Prime candidates for internal promotion have met their goals, whether that’s sales quotas or staying on budget. Knowing an employee before they apply can be a double-edged sword, however, if you haven’t been meeting your employer’s expectations.
