Fireﬁghters honored for saving Buckeye teen By Lauren Serrato

Abrazo West Campus recently recognized Buckeye Valley firefighters Danny Garcia and Alex Romero and Buckeye Fire Department engineer Pat Burns with the Dr. Paul Johnson Award for the trio’s efforts in saving a teenage boy’s life. The award honors first responders who demonstrate the highest level of professionalism during their time on duty. Garcia and Romero responded to an early December incident in front of Verrado High School during

which Buckeye teen Dylan Miller rolled his truck when he was exiting the parking lot. One of the key factors to Miller’s survival was the quick teamwork by Garcia and Romero, they said. The time it took to get on scene, assess the patient and get him to Abrazo West’s Level I Trauma Center was just 13 minutes. Any longer and the Buckeye Valley ﬁreﬁghters agreed the outcome could have been different. Since the accident, these EMS crew

Pharmacy tech indicted for stealing diabetic test strips By West Valley View staff

A state grand jury has indicted a Goodyear pharmacy technician for his alleged role in stealing hundreds of boxes of diabetic test strips, according to the Attorney General’s Office. Robert Brian Kemple, 30, is charged with 33 criminal offenses for allegedly stealing more than $100,000 of medical supplies at a CVS Pharmacy between March 2017 and September 2017. Investigators said Kemple would use his position to order diabetic test strips for the store and instead sell them online. The June indictment was a collaborative effort between Goodyear Police and the Attorney General’s Office Heath Care Fraud and Abuse Section. This is one of seven cases the Attorney General’s Office submitted as part of the National Health Care Fraud Takedown. Throughout June, 601 people across the country were charged, including doctors and nurses, for their alleged involvement in health

Hickman’s gives egg cartons, delivery trucks a new look By Aliyah Chavez

Hickman’s Family Farms’ egg cartons and delivery trucks will soon carry a fresh and “edgy” look with phrases like “To get eggs any fresher, we’d have to give you the bird” and “Breakfast is the new happy hour, crack open a cold one.” “I think the last American Egg Board said that in 98 percent of consumers’ refrigerators there’s an egg carton,” said Clint Hickman, vice president of sales and marketing. “People just kind of start glossing over what that egg carton is and how much work went into getting those 12 eggs into your refrigerator. We were just trying to come up with an approach that not only grabs eyeballs but kind of makes people think about who’s behind that product and what they do.” The Arlington-based company held a private party in late June at Because Event Space in Phoenix to roll out the changes. Veronica Garcia, the farms’ director of marketing, said it was time for a

us because we’re such a well-known name, but we wanted to show people that we are still here and excited about what we’re doing next.” Other phrases include “Stay off my tail feather” and “Join the Huevolution: Breakfast is on the rise.” Clint Hickman, who is also on the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, described the new phrases as “different” from the previous family-friendly marketing logos. Hickman’s Family Farms showed samples of the items on Facebook. Consumers took to social media to express their reactions to the new trucks. Some comments included “Love the new trucks with witty sayings,” and “Very clever! Like it!”

Along with this announcement, company officials said their website will be updated soon. Hickman’s Family Farms was founded as a hobby in 1944, largely pioneered by two women, Nell and Gertie Hickman. It has since grown to become the largest egg producer west of the Rockies. The company processes approximately 750,000 shelled eggs per hour. It aims to be a leader in innovation by becoming the first egg company to use a completely recycled plastic carton and technology such as robots and conveyor systems. Additionally, they have also expanded their number of cage-free barns.

Sheriff: Monsoon rescues are free, despite ‘stupid-motorist law’ By Rachel Beth Banks Cronkite News

This monsoon season, Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is not enforcing a law that permits some motorists to be billed for the cost of their rescue from flash floods because authorities worry people who can’t afford the fine won’t call for help. Under the so-called stupid-motorist law, motorists who drive around a barricade or warning sign into a flooded area, putting themselves and rescuers in danger, can be required to reimburse law enforcement and fire agencies up to $2,000 for rescue costs. The law, passed in 1995, has sparked rumors about how much it costs to get rescued and how often people have to pay. “We don’t charge people under the stupid-motorist law,” Deputy Kevin Kraayenbrink said. “This is part of your tax dollars. We’re here. It’s free.” Deputies respond to 12 to 24 water rescues every year, sheriff’s spokeswoman Donna Rossi said. It’s not clear whether other local agencies enforce the law. Phoenix and Scottsdale police did not return calls, and a Mesa police

fire – well, most people know that’s a bad idea, but not everyone does. So, does that mean the fire department is going to charge you?” The law was passed by lawmakers frustrated that drivers were ignoring posted warning signs, leading to costly rescues and risking the lives of the public-safety workers. But it was rarely invoked until a 2005 case made headlines and became the talk of online chat rooms. Paul Zalewski was charged in Cave Creek Municipal Court after he drove his Hummer around barriers and into a flooded road in his Cave Creek neighborhood. The rescue cost an estimated $800 and 55 minutes of MCSO deputies’ time, according to news accounts. “After that, people refused to call for help because they thought everybody that does something that’s not smart gets arrested. They don’t,” Kraayenbrink said. “I don’t know how many times we pull up and people are like, ‘I can’t afford this rescue.’”

spokeswoman directed questions to MCSO. Jesse Rutherford, spokesman for a volunteer rescue group that helps the sheriff’s office with flash floods and other emergencies, said group members often encounter people worried about the cost of their rescue. “A lot of people that we come in contact with sometimes delay their own

rescue by not calling 9-1-1 because they think they’re going to get charged,” said Rutherford, of the Central Arizona Mountain Rescue Association. “We’re usually not in favor of legislation of ﬁning or charging people for their predicament,” he said. “One of the examples we have is when you call 9-11 at your house – say there’s a grease ﬁre and you threw water on the grease

Buckeye loses power after storms wreak havoc By Nick Serpa, Cronkite News

Buckeye residents lost power for more than 18 hours after a violent monsoon swept through the West Valley on July 8. Winds reaching 60 mph brought down a number of APS power lines and other electrical infrastructure around metro Phoenix, temporarily shutting off power to about 21,000 Arizonans, including 14,000 people in Buckeye. It was the first major monsoon of 2018. City officials said the winds also brought down trees along several major roads, resulting in street closures late July 8. “There’s been spotty damage all over the place,” said Annie DeChance, communications manager for Buckeye. “Our police and fire got a significant increase in phone calls starting right around when the storm hit.” The storm temporarily knocked out Buckeye Police Department’s main phone line, although 9-1-1 lines were not affected. News footage taken after the storm moved on showed several overturned

Monsoon...continued from page 6 Michael Saks, an ASU professor of law and psychology, said laws often become outdated, sometimes because they’re niche, like the stupid-motorist law, or don’t evolve as society does. “I’m sure the law makes sense at the time to the people who vote for them and then, with the passage of time, they either become less sensible or they come to be recognized as less sensible,” he said. The stupid motorist law “sounds like

APS crews working through the night restored service to all but 500 customers by 10:30 a.m. Jason Adams, an APS lineman, said the company couldn’t guarantee when power would be restored to everyone, but the company is hoping for 10:30 p.m. “We’re working as quickly and safely as possible, and we just ask for everybody’s patience and understanding,” he said. “Everyone out here is pulling to get the job done.” The American Red Cross on July 9 set up a temporary cooling station inside the Coyote branch of the Buckeye Public Library on Yuma Road. It provided air conditioning, water and snacks, as well as internet access, regardless of whether visitors were library members. Just outside of the cooling station, APS handed out free bags of dry ice to people who needed to cool down their home or keep food from perishing. For more stories from Cronkite News, visit cronkitenews.azpbs.org. it’s creating a bigger problem than the one that it is solving, which the law does sometimes.” It doesn’t matter whether the law remains on the books or is repealed, Saks said. The rumor about the prohibitive cost of stupid-motorist fees now has more power than the fact the law usually isn’t enforced. It’s now as much a part of Arizona as the monsoon season.

Kerr to participate in 2018 Emerging Leaders Program By West Valley View staff

Sen. Sine Kerr has been selected to participate in the 2018 Emerging Leaders Program, sponsored by the State Legislative Leaders Foundation and the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia. The Emerging Leaders Program is held every year on the University of Virginia campus for a select group of state legislators who have been nominated by the speaker of the house, president of the senate or minority leader from their state. These leaders were nominated because they have demonstrated leadership qualities – integrity, compassion, intelligence, vision and common sense. Kerr will take part in class discussions that will examine the qualities and characteristics of leadership including: ethical leadership, the art of compromise and coalition building, and the philosophical underpinnings of

JPII will be run by the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia, an order founded in Nashville 150 years ago. They are well known for their ability to educate. The upcoming unveiling of JPII will be the organization’s third high school opened in the last 10 years. Collectively, it receives more than 300 requests per year inviting their sisters to educate worldwide. Two years ago, the Dominican sisters accepted their invitation to come to Avondale and thus, the school was built. “They are going to bring a boost to not only the West Valley but to Arizona,” Gonzales said. “You are going to get a great education here because they are known for their rigorous academics. That is why the bishop invited them, not only for their spirituality, but for their academics.”

Upcoming phases call for extensions to the school grounds including a football and track stadium, a softball court and practice ﬁelds. The main school building has capacity for 1,000 students; however, it will allow only freshman and sophomores in the 2018-2019 academic year. “We are building for 1,000 students even though we aren’t going to have that many next year,” Gonzales said.

enrollment increases. Class sizes will consist of 24 to 26 students per class. Students will take eight classes a year and will graduate with 32 credits – 10 more credits than the state’s minimum of 22 units. Course highlights include English, math, science, history, foreign language, religion, ethics, public speaking and elective classes. Some elective classes are acting, dance, art, graphic design, yearbook and physical education. The school plans to offer advanced placement classes, as well.

Unique features of the school Upon construction, school administrators paid a large attention to detail. “There are so many little details you wouldn’t think about when opening a school,” Gonzales said. “For example, Sister Mary Jordan, our principal, wanted wider hallways so students aren’t jam-packed.” Additionally, the school is home to a chapel that will host daily Mass. The chapel was designed and inﬂuenced by various churches in Poland and Rome. It is built in the shape of a boat, similar to that of Noah’s ark. The chapel will hold 80 to 100 people once completed. A key feature of the chapel is a cross shape in the ceiling of the building where two weight-bearing beams intersect. The two beams, which run throughout the school and hold up the entire building, create a cross that is built directly over the altar of the chapel. “That is my favorite thing here,” said Sister Mary Brigid, director of curriculum and student life. “The nicest tile is here. The nicest wood is here. Everything is nicest here because God’s house is worthy of that.” Uniquely, another feature of the school is how administrators plan to build community. Students will have the opportunity to join a “house” where they will spend four years getting to know their peers, doing service, hosting celebrations and attending monthly meetings. These houses will include a patron saint and shared space for student lockers. St. John Paul II Catholic High School 3120 N. 137th Avenue Avondale 623-233-2777 jp2catholic.org

Avondale holding public design meeting for new skate park, pump track By Connor Dziawura

West Valley activity junkies may soon have a new outlet for recreation, as a new skate park and a pump track are in the works for Avondale’s Festival Fields Park. But before that can happen, Avondale’s Parks and Recreation Department, along with American Ramp Company representatives, will discuss designs for the project during a public design meeting from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 7, at Avondale City Hall. “Skate parks and bike pump tracks are a unique and important space for exercise, socializing, and selfexpression,” said Christina Underhill, Avondale Parks and Recreation’s

assistant director. “This will be one of very few facilities in Avondale speciﬁcally serving tweens and teens. With that in mind, we would like to invite youth and teens to come and share ideas, as well as adults, as to what they would like included in the new design.” These two new recreation possibilities are components of a $12 million renovation project set to begin early 2019. It is part of a capital improvement project for the city. Avondale City Hall is located at 11465 W. Civic Center Drive. For more information or to RSVP, contact the city’s Parks and Recreation Department at 623-333-2400.

Firefighters...continued from page 1 members have developed a special bond with the Miller family and attend events in his honor. “That’s kind of the tough thing with the areas that we respond to is that we’re a little bit out. So, we have to work with limited resources to do more with less,” Romero said. “There was nothing more we could do with either of our capabilities that was going to help him there, so we just needed to leave (for the hospital). We both made the judgment call that we needed to go now.” Due to their quick thinking, Miller survived with severe head trauma. Both firefighters said this accident felt personal, as Miller’s father is a board member of the Phoenix Fire Department. “It definitely hits close to home,” Romero stated. “And we didn’t figure out that Dylan’s father was a firefighter until we got to the hospital. This is always higher risk and stress when there’s a kid involved. And then you figure out it’s someone in our department.” Garcia and Romero were given the award for their timely response to the scene, said Dana Barton, EMS manager at Abrazo West Campus. “The crew members’ teamwork, expert practice and collaboration both on scene, during transportation, as well as following the incident proved to be exemplary,” Barton said. Burns, from Ladder 703-A, was another recipient of the Dr. Paul

Johnson award. Both Buckeye Valley firefighters said his help was vital in saving Miller. “We had a lot of help from the (Ladder) 703 guys. Those guys were a huge help. They were right on our tails on the way to the scene. We needed them. I can’t say enough for what those guys did,” Garcia said. Garcia and Romero have been working together for three years. Romero became a firefighter three years ago, only two months after graduating from Millennium High School. According to Garcia and Romero, receiving this award has been a humbling experience. “I feel like Dylan is a strong kid, the strongest individual I have ever met in my life,” Garcia said. “Ultimately I think the award is nice, but the real award goes to Dylan.” “We have taken patients to the hospital who look the same with similar injuries, and those patients usually don’t do too well.” Romero agreed with Garcia. “We’re just doing our job,” Romero said. “To have him come away from that accident is really awesome.” Reflecting on traumatic accidents and victims can sometimes be challenging, both men agreed. Garcia and Romero count on their support systems at home, as well as each other. “I have an 8-year-old girl at home and her mom who are definitely my support system. Our first line of support, however, is each other,” Romero said.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

ED GAMBLE — King Features Syndicate

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Miscellaneous thoughts Editor: The people who showed a video of a 2-year-old climbing the above-ground pool barrier did the right thing. I watched in horror. Every family should see how easily that baby could have drowned. Now they know to add more safety to that gate. I have a great tip to keep nonswimmers safe. Get a safety jacket like those used on boats that has a zipper. Put it on backward and zip it up. If the child is in the water, their head is always up. If you think it might unzip, put a large safety pin under the top of the zipper. Make sure the safety jacket is snug. Buy several sizes so they are in jackets until they can swim. I never even had a close accident. That video needs to be seen by every parent of small children. Vickie Chelini, stop watching CNN. Your head will explode with its lies. Why do you think Fallon was telling the truth? He could lose his job if people thought he talked to the president. They used to be friends, you know? I wouldn’t believe an entertainer if they swore on a stack of Bibles. Can you imagine what this country would be like if Hillary were president? We really dodged a bullet this time. Do you like the tax breaks, full employment and little rocket man not aiming rockets at us? Sit back and enjoy the ride. Stay away from false news. Pray for our president to do the right thing. Pray for his family and our country, then let go and let God take over. Jean Levandowski Litchfield Park

2020 right over our shoulders Editor: Is there ever going to be an end to President Trump’s pep rallies? They are cringe-worthy at best. Trump doesn’t get that he’s not a comedian – no timing, no delivery. Comedy is something you are born with. It’s a minefield to be avoided, otherwise.

The president calling Maxine Waters “low IQ” falls flat. You could not have amassed the fortune Maxine Waters has if you are stupid. That is why we need eight-year term limits like the president. Who needs someone in office like Waters, who called in favors to get her brother the ambassadorship to Bermuda, and who shouted “viva Fidel” at some event? Maybe that is where Trump gets the low IQ comment from? Trump’s last pep rally was a real cringe-worthy moment. Trump insulted Elizabeth Warren and the Indian Nation at the same time. If we sent in President Trump’s DNA, I believe years later they would still be working on it. Vickie J. Chelini Buckeye

What would Theodore Roosevelt do? Editor: When Donald Trump was elected president, sportsmen had high hopes that the president and his cabinet would commit to, in President Trump’s words, “honoring the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt.” As our 26th president, Roosevelt worked tirelessly to stop special interests from developing and privatizing our public lands and waters, conserving more than 230 million acres by establishing 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reserves, four national game preserves, five national parks and 18 national monuments. Sportsmen have applauded the administration for Roosevelt-like actions, such as their proposal to expand hunting and fishing on 10 national wildlife refuges and their calling on Congress to create a permanent solution to the practice of “fire borrowing.” Yet we will continue to hold administration officials accountable for pursuing the rollback of conservation protections on millions of acres of national monuments, scrapping collaborative habitat management plans for sage grouse, and not fighting administration proposals to cut popular public access programs like the Land and Water Conservation

Fund. These actions threaten to undermine Roosevelt’s legacy, and I join Backcountry Hunters & Anglers in urging the Trump administration to do the right thing and stand up for our public lands. James Fitzpatrick Phoenix

Supreme Court nominees Editor: Now that Brett Kavanaugh has been nominated for the Supreme Court, the attacks from the left are predictable, distorted with never-ending talking points. All of those criticizing him are reading the same script. Sen. Feinstein said Kavanaugh is out of the mainstream. What gall for her to say such a thing. How dare she! The truth is the progressives are out of the mainstream of American values, not the judge. It is the progressives like Feinstein, Schumer, Durbin and their ilk who are constantly working to tear down and render the Constitution of the United States irrelevant. It is the judge who has and will continue to uphold and defend the Constitution, as the standard by which to decide legal issues. As we all know, elections have consequences. No, Trump did not win the election because of still-unproven Russian collusion. I absolutely believe Trump won because the God of the

Bible, the one and only true God, who historically has caused the kingdoms of men to rise and fall, is the one who intervened. You know what? It does not matter that progressives do not want to believe that. Their denial does not change the truth. It is so refreshing to see a president who is doing exactly what he said he would do before he was elected. A president who is keeping his promise to the American people. One of those promises was to nominate qualified conservative judges to the federal judiciary. Thank you, Mr. President, for continuing to make America great again. Roy Azzarello Goodyear

Buckeye employees successfully battle monsoon destruction By Mayor Jackie Meck

On Sunday, July 8, about 9 p.m., Buckeye was hit hard by a major monsoon. High winds, estimated at more than 70 mph, and heavy rain killed power to more than 14,000 residents because of downed power lines and trees. Traffic signals were also out. The police and fire departments were flooded with service calls almost immediately. Because the power was out at the police dispatch center downtown, operations were moved to police headquarters at Yuma and Dean. The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office graciously took the city’s 9-1-1 calls. Buckeye Police also acted quickly and pushed out alternative phone numbers for nonemergency calls because all city phone lines were out as well. By 11 p.m., public works crews were on scene assisting with traffic control, assessing damage to the city’s streets and removing debris. In addition, water service crews were dispatched to ensure the backup generators throughout the drinking water distribution system were working properly. Fire Chief Bob Costello, who is also the city’s emergency management coordinator, worked with Arizona Public Service and informed city management of the situation and the impacts it would have on our residents and city business. APS immediately provided timely and continuous details about the storm to city staff. They estimated more than 65 power poles in the city were lost. Within 90 minutes after the storm passed, seven of their 16 crews were in Buckeye working hard to restore power to residents. These crews were away from their families for more than 48 hours to help restore power. At 2:30 a.m. Monday, July 9, acting City Manager James Shano sent his first email update to me and the City Council on the status of the power outage. By 5 a.m., most city staff were coordinating efforts to ensure residents could still receive some level of service. Community services quickly made the decision to open the Coyote Branch Library at 8 a.m., three hours early, so residents could have a place to go. The Coyote Library also became the location for APS’ cooling station, where residents could pick up ice and dry ice to keep their perishable food fresh. They

also provided water and sports drinks to keep everyone hydrated. The Red Cross set up inside the Coyote Library to assist residents. Thankfully, Mayor Jackie Meck. (Photo power to most courtesy city of Buckeye) city buildings was restored a little after 9 a.m. and the city was back in business by 10:30 a.m. Community services made sure residents who participate in the city’s home-delivered meals program received their meals on time, and that afternoon classes and programs went on as scheduled. Public works crews continued to clean up the storm damage. From the early morning hours until after 8 p.m., every city department was in constant communication with each other and assisting each other. As new information developed, it was shared with residents on the city’s various social media channels and website. The details were passed on to me and City Council through email updates. The City Council and I were so impressed with how well we were kept informed as the incident developed, and also over the next 24 hours as staff responded to the aftermath. I was elated to see how well city staff worked together throughout the ordeal. The city cannot control when and where Mother Nature will strike, or what devastation is left behind, but we can control how we respond to these situations. I was so impressed with the professionalism of city staff and how they handled this emergency. Every employee stepped up for the benefit of our residents. This is just one more reason Buckeye is the fifth fastest-growing city in the country. Not only is it a great place to live and raise a family, but we also provide outstanding service to our residents. Thanks to every city employee who worked tirelessly through this ordeal. David Leibowitz is away and will return.

Business Briefcase

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 18, 2018

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, readers, and thanks for stopping by for another ‘rousing edition of Business Briefcase. There’s not much to start with this time around, so I’m going to jump right into it. I was asked about a potential new restaurant in Litchfield Park just before the conclusion of 2017, and I just now finally have confirmation. Aside from some other chamber and networking events, I’ll also mention the highly requested WinCo Foods, slated for Goodyear. But don’t get your hopes up – there’s still going to be some waiting for details on this front. Here’s the news! First, as I mentioned, I have a new development; and a long-awaited one at that! I received an inquiry last December regarding the old Blue Sushi in Litchfield Park, as the reader was wondering what changes the space was undergoing. Well – my mouth is watering and I haven’t even told you yet – Papa Paul’s Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta is open in Litchfield Park, at the aforementioned location. Councilman Peter Mahoney owns the joint, which has an absolutely hunger-inducing menu. One quick glance at the list reveals starters that range from classic bruschetta to goat cheese-stuffed peach or eggplant caprese. For salads you can go as simple as Caesar (not that simple’s a bad thing) or as extravagant as blackened salmon and roasted veggie. And don’t even get me started on all the pizzas. But when all’s said and done, you can finish your meal off with a delicious dessert like raspberry panna cotta or tiramisu, just to mention a couple options. Beers, wines and cocktails are also on deck! Located at 118 N. Old Litchfield Road, Papa Paul’s is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays. For more info, including a more in-depth menu, visit facebook.com/ papapaulslitchfieldpark. On the subject of long-awaited developments – and what you’ve probably been waiting for since I mentioned it at the top of the column

– I have received quite a few inquiries about the planned WinCo Foods in Goodyear, so I’ll get that out of the way. Unfortunately, calls and emails to WinCo’s representatives over the months have yielded no results, as representatives have not responded to West Valley View’s requests for comment. So, I have also checked in with the city’s Economic Development Department on numerous occasions and am still awaiting ﬁnal plan approval before I can give ﬁrm details. Until that happens, I have no further information to divulge on the WinCo or other proposed businesses at the southwest corner of McDowell Road and Pebble Creek Parkway. Moving along, there will be a free vendor expo in Avondale. From 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, July 26, stop by Main Event Entertainment, 10315 W. McDowell Road. This will be an

O B S T E T R I C S • G Y N E C O L O G Y

excellent opportunity for locals looking to network and ﬁnd out more about local businesses who are participating. Local business owners will have tables to showcase products or services, while door prizes and drawings will be available. It’s OK to bring kids, too, as Main Event has plenty of entertaining activities (though they’re not included with the event). For more information, contact Heather Stewart at hschiropractic@ yahoo.com or 623-925-1386. To round this week out, I’m going to jump ahead to another event. DexYP’s yearlong marketing series will continue with a course on Creating an Effective Marketing Plan at noon Thursday, August 16. Previous DexYP sessions have covered topics such as Better Communication, Text & Email Marketing, and Effective Websites, just to name a few. Though this event is free, seating is

limited, so be sure to RSVP. DexYP will host lunch in partnership with the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. This event will be located at the chamber, 289 N. Litchﬁeld Road, Goodyear. For more information, contact info@southwestvalleychamber. org or 623-932-2260. That’s all the briefs for this week! Thanks for reading, and stick around for more news next week!

Goodyear boxer B-Fly ready to make U.S. debut By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Breenan Macias remembers accompanying his father to a gym to watch boxing, and not being especially impressed. “It was so boring,” Macias said. “I just sat there and watched him work out.” But as he watched, the fascination grew. Macias’ father, who trained boxers in their garage in Goodyear, initially wouldn’t let his son try it. Macias’ obsession overshadowed his father’s wishes. At 7, Macias traded community football for boxing, and he began competing at the young age of 8. Now 18, Macias is set to make his Arizona boxing debut at Raging Babe’s “Guerra De Gallos” at Casino del Sol at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 21. Raging Babe CEO Michelle Rosado tweeted that she’s proud of Macias. He fought on her first pro-am card in 2011 when he was 10 years old, and now he’s fighting as a pro in his first U.S. fight. He finished his amateur career ranked at No. 2 in the country.

Known as “B-Fly,” Macias’ record is 2-0 with one KO. At 5-foot-5, he boxes in the flyweight class and trains at Robert Garcia Boxing Academy. His workout schedule is relentless; he does strength and conditioning at 5 a.m., visiting the boxing gym and then runs for 4 to 5 miles. He balances it with Primavera Online High School. “I always run,” he said. “I need a lot of conditioning. Boxing is a fulltime thing for me. I want to continue my education and go to college to be a chemical engineer or environmental engineer. I need to have a plan B. “However, I’ve grown to love the sport over time. Now that I’ve grown into it and I know what I’m capable of, I love it. This is what I really want to do. It’s a dream I’ve always had.”

debut in my state. I’m looking forward to putting on a show for my people from Arizona.” The main event features Tucson junior welterweights Alfonso Olvera (10-4-1, four KOs) and Wilberth Lopez (21-9, 15 KOs). Casino Del Sol has hosted boxing events since 2003. Fernando Vargas, Mia St. John and Yori Boy Campas are just a few boxing legends who have fought there. “We are excited to bring boxing back to Tucson,” said Kimberly Van Amburg, CEO of Casino Del Sol. “Our goal is always to provide the best entertainment in Southern Arizona, and ‘Guerra De Gallos’ will definitely deliver.”

ISM president Sperber inducted into hall of fame By West Valley View staff

The West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame has inducted ISM Raceway president Bryan R. Sperber into its 2018 class. “I’m tremendously humbled to be inducted in the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame,” Sperber said. “This is such an amazing honor and I deeply thank the Hall of Fame Board for the truly incredible recognition.” Throughout his 21 years as track president – 16 at ISM Raceway – Sperber has overseen the growth of ISM Raceway into one of the premier motorsports venues in the country. Now the host of two Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series races and one Verizon IndyCar Series race, the track is undergoing a $178 million modernization project to create the ultimate venue for technology and fan experience. Sperber previously served as the president of Watkins Glen International. Sperber was joined by the five members of the elected Class of 2018:

Larry Albedi, Joe Garone, Oren Prosser, Greg Pursley and Dick Woodland. “This class of inductees is among the greatest in the last decade and a half,” said Ken Clapp, chairman of the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame. “The board of directors couldn’t be happier with its vote. We’re extremely pleased to be able to honor the pioneers of our sport, figures whose accomplishments are unquestioned but which may not be well-known to media members and fans of the current era. They deserve to be honored for their achievements that brought us to where we are today.” The Class of 2018 was inducted June 21, 2018, at the Meritage Resort and Spa in Napa, California. The event, presented by Gateway Motorsports Park, accompanied the annual Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and NASCAR K&N Pro Series West weekend at nearby Sonoma Raceway. The West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame was conceived in 2001 as

‘Catch Me’ cast vows to do justice to story By Laura Latzko

Often, unlikeable characters have endearing qualities that make them relatable in some way. The musical Catch Me If You Can makes audiences identify and sympathetic with the main character, even though he is a womanizer, thief and master manipulator. Arizona Broadway Theatre is presenting the musical through August 12. Based on a true story, the show follows Frank Abagnale Jr., an expert forger and counterfeiter who evaded authorities for years by pretending to be a pilot, lawyer and a doctor. Catch Me If You Can began as a film starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Abagnale Jr. and Tom Hanks as FBI agent Carl Hanratty. Terrence McNally, best known for The Full Monty and Ragtime, and Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman of Hairspray fame turned it into a musical. Director Stephen Casey said although audiences are more attracted to darker characters, it is still important for them to have redeeming qualities. “There has to be some sort of arc,

some sort of turning point, which will make an audience forgive their actions and root for them in some way,” said Casey, who is based in Philadelphia. The relationship between Abagnale and his father, with whom he is similar, is especially important in the story. His connection with his love interest, Brenda, who was played by Amy Adams in the film, and Hanratty are also key to the emotional journey. “We want to put as much emphasis on these vignettes, the scene work and the character relationships as we can,” Casey said. The performances are set up like ’60s variety shows, such as Hullabaloo, Shindig! and Hollywood A Go Go, with big, splashy production numbers starring nurses and stewardesses. “You do see these parts of his life played out within the musical numbers. It’s sensationalized, almost like the way that you would have seen in a Bob Fosse show,” Casey said. The audience interaction is moving. “It breaks the fourth wall immediate-

ly,” Casey said. “We talk to the audience. We address the audience from the get-go. We introduce ourselves in third person. We talk about ourselves. We talk about the other characters.” Lending to the performance’s credibility is its ’60s swing and pop sounds.

Casey has directed many musicals made from movies, including White Christmas, Saturday Night Fever and Carousel. He said it can be challenging because audiences come in with preconceived notions about the plot and

dies, and in the same respect, to care about Frank Jr. when he gets captured,” Pavia said. As for Catch Me If You Can, the actor watched the film and read Abagnale’s autobiography to prepare himself for the role. “I think the biggest challenge of it is to do him justice,” Pavia said. “He clearly was a criminal, but he was a likeable person. I just want to tell his story the right way.” The scenes involving singing and dancing are the most demanding for Pavia. “It’s all about the showmanship, which I really think relates to who he was as a person,” Pavia said.

characters, but he stresses authenticity. “It has to be truthful. If you don’t believe it, then there’s no point in doing it,” Casey said. “And I also feel you have to love the material to some extent. You have to be committed to doing it truthfully and honestly.” In the Arizona Broadway Theatre production, New York-based actor Sal Pavia is taking on the role of Frank Abagnale Jr. The actor’s ABT debut was playing Link Larkin in Hairspray. The actor has also performed in Legally Blonde The Musical; Rock of Ages; Tick, Tick…Boom!; Footloose, Godspell and Be More Chill. Pavia recently played antihero Clyde in the musical version of Bonnie and Clyde, an experience he likens to his current role. “The biggest challenge with that was getting this evil character to be likeable, to be charming and to have people care at the end of the day when he

Beyond Gymnastics opens its doors in Goodyear By Carrie Snider

When Briana Porzelt and Tom Gerlach considered opening a gymnastics center in the West Valley, they never imagined the response they would receive. With experience in early childhood education and gymnastics coaching, Porzelt decided to offer classes at the her community clubhouse. Soon she had a long list of students, and even people from outside the housing community were hoping to be involved. That’s when she partnered with Gerlach, who owns a handyman business. The two put their heads together and opened Beyond Gymnastics, 3810 S. Estrella Parkway, Suite 309, Goodyear, on June 1. Eighty students have enrolled, and they are looking for additional coaches. “We didn’t realize there was that much of a need here,” Prozelt said. “It certainly helps being in this business park, next to Taste of Italy.” Beyond Gymnastics is hosting a grand opening event from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday, July 21. A sleepover/parents night out follows on Saturday, July 28. Call 623-734-0178 or visit beyondgymnasticsaz.com for more information. Beyond Gymnastics is enrolling stu-

take turns, follow rules,” she said. Porzelt also wants to make sure students are always moving, so she formats classes, so students can utilize the gym as much as possible. The gym will have a show team; so far they don’t have a competitive team, but hopefully it can add that as the gym grows. Gerlach was excited to build out the new gym and take care of the construction that goes into it. But after seeing his daughter participate in classes, and learning gymnastics moves, he has come to love that side of the business. Porzelt and Gerlach also want to be an integral part of the Goodyear community, so they are participating in local events and offering fun activities beyond the typical gymnastics classes.

dents from 6 months old to adults. The gym offers summer camp, tumbling, adult stretching, show teams, clinics, individual lessons, birthday parties, teen classes, adult stretching and open gym. Owners and instructors are USAG certified and focus on teaching proper form safely.

“I like seeing that light click when a student learns something new,” Porzelt explained. “They develop their own independence.” To the owners, gymnastics is a way for people to have fun, as well as learn some good life skills. “I help them learn structure, how to

Verrado student returns from Special Olympics summit By Lynette Carrington

“He asked me, ‘Hey, I want someone to keep this club going and do you want to get involved in Special Olympics at the state level and get more experience for Unified?’” She jumped at the chance and became involved in Special Olympics at the state level. She soon joined the Youth Activation Committee through Special Olympics and participated in conference calls and planned Arizona events and volunteering. Verrado High School is considered a champion school by Special Olympics. Each year, Verrado High School special ed science teacher Sasha the Youth Activation Lysy, Verrado High School sophomore and Special Committee picks a partner Olympics athlete Aidan Dupuis, and Verrado High School from a champion school junior and Special Olympics partner Tiffany Clanin came together at the Special Olympics Youth Summit in to attend the Special Seattle.

Tiffany After she joined Unified, the founder, was chosen to go to Seattle, and she Maverick Gamez, then a senior, pulled was accompanied by sophomore athlete Aidan Dupuis and mentor Sasha Lysy, Tiffany aside. Aidan’s special ed science teacher. “I went to participate as a youth leader in the youth summit and I learned leadership skills to bring back to our Unified Leadership Club,” said Compiled by Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Verrado High School junior Tiffany Clanin has a passion and drive for knowledge. That came into play when she attended the Special Olympics Youth Summit in Seattle, which also hosted the Special Olympics USA Games. She was destined to take part, as she was inspired by her mother, Anne, a special education teacher in the Litchfield Elementary School District. “In elementary school, I was always in her classroom before school and was always around special education students,” Tiffany said. “I loved working with them.” Upon entering high school, Tiffany noticed there were few special ed students around campus. At the end of her freshman year, Tiffany approached a school coach and asked if she could volunteer with the special ed students during her lunch hour. The timing was perfect as Verrado High School was ramping up a sports-centric Unified Leadership Club that includes athletes with and without disabilities working together. “I was invited to join Unified and I got thrown right into it,” Tiffany added.

Student Chronicles Millennium High School student Annalycia Morales was awarded a $1,000 scholarship from the National FFA Organization. It is sponsored by Built Ford Tough Bell Ford. Morales plans to use the funds to pursue a degree at ASU. This scholarship is one of 1,829 awarded through the National FFA Organization’s scholarship program this year. The online, nonprofit Western Governors University in Salt Lake City celebrated the recent graduation of more than 15,000 students from across the country. Locally, that includes: Janeen Nichols of

Tiffany, who forged a strong friendship with Lysy during the trip. “We also supported our Arizona team in everything they did.” Tiffany’s experience in Seattle was valuable. “I learned there was a lot more we could be doing,” she said. “Our club at Verrado does very well and I thought it was great when I left. But when I go back to school, I am going to start a lot more things with our club. The future is inclusion for these next generations.” Tiffany is excited to start the new year with Unified Leadership Club with a goal of doubling its membership. “I saw the way that Aidan was treated in Seattle and I have never seen her flourish like that before,” Tiffany said. “It was because everyone accepted her, and everyone was friendly to her. That is what I want at Verrado High School.” After graduation, Tiffany plans to attend Grand Canyon University or another in-state college and study special education. “I’ve wanted to be a special ed teacher for as long as I can remember,” Tiffany said. “I just loved my mom’s classroom and everything about it. Now, I just need to figure out if I want to be a special ed teacher for elementary, middle school or high school. Doing everything I’ve been doing will help me figure that out.”

PUBLIC NOTICE Richard (Dick) Clifford Aronson Richard (Dick) Clifford Aronson, of Fort Collins, Colorado, born on April 1, 1944 in Charter Oak, Iowa, born to Clifford John Aronson and Elsie Sophie (Kiepe) Aronson, passed away at age 74 on June 24, 2018 in Tolleson, Arizona. He passed after a very brief, but courageous battle with cancer and from complications from an unexpected stroke. He was the second of four children. His family left Iowa in 1947, and headed to Colorado where Cliff managed a number of ranches and also helped construct the Horse Troth Dam out of Fort Collins, Colorado. Dick moved to Arizona in 1971, and has been a resident of Tolleson with his beloved wife Lois for 34 years. Dick started his career in the construction field, initially hanging sheetrock, and after a few years he started providing estimates and bidding jobs, he later retired as a superintendent. Dick enjoyed many hobbies, fishing, hunting, golf, exploring on his four-wheeler, enjoying the cool summers in Payson and spending his time with family and friends. One of his favorite experiences was traveling twice to Alaska to fish for Halibut and Salmon. But out of all these hobbies Rodeo was his life and the one he enjoyed the most. Dick’s rodeo career started at the early age of eleven years old when he began competing in junior rodeos and then on to high school rodeos. He was sixteen when he won his first trophy saddle in calf roping and earned two more all-around saddles in the Colorado Little Britches Rodeo Association. Dick attended Colorado State University at Fort Collins and was on the collegiate rodeo team from 1961 thru 1965. Aside from competing in calf roping, Dick also competed in steer wrestling, team roping, bull riding and bareback riding. During all of this, he managed to earn his master’s degree in Agricultural Economics. In 1962, he was the all-around cowboy for the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association Great Plains Region and was runner up the following two years. In 1970, Dick joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), competing in calf roping, and steer wrestling and was named Rookie of the Year. This was a prestigious award, he was also acknowledged in the “New Face for The Crowd” in the well-known magazine Sports Illustrated. In Dick’s rodeo career he won numerous saddles, trophy’s, belt buckles and multiple special awards from the PRCA, the Amateur Rodeo Association and the Senior Professional Rodeo Association. In addition, he held multiple leadership positions in each association. Dick is preceded in death by his parents, Clifford John Aronson and Elsie Sophie Aronson; his sisters, Karen Marie Aronson and Colleen Lois Staudinger. Dick is survived by his wife of 45 years Lois Jean Aronson, his special needs sister Marcia Kay Aronson, his two sons, Trevor Wade Aronson, his girlfriend Dawn, Devon Cord Aronson and his wife Darci, his brother-in-law Jim Staudinger, grandchildren Robert Kyler Baker, Tanner Lee and Ella Joy Aronson, and great granddaughter Quorra June Baker. Dick was also a loving surrogate father to his sister Marcia and his niece Kristin Niehus. Additional surviving family members are several nephews, nieces, aunt and uncle, a great aunt and several cousins, and his great nephews and great niece. Dick’s absence will leave a huge void in the family, but it is the rodeo stories & relived memories as told by his friends and family that will keep him alive for many years to come. A memorial service was held Saturday, July 14, at the Buckeye Equestrian Center. His memory, his life and all his accomplishments were lovingly celebrated by all who attended.
