Family remembers fallen Marine at funeral BY CECILIA CHAN

West Valley View Staff Writer

A TV screen flashed a picture of a baby smiling into a camera, followed by nearly 20 minutes of footage highlighting Maximo A. Flores’ 27 years on earth — his high school graduation, boot camp, his wedding in his dress blues. Nearby, the U.S. Marine Corps staff sergeant’s flag-draped casket sat center stage at the SouthWest Funeral Home chapel as family and friends gathered to say final goodbyes August 3. “He was a wonderful son,” said Flores’ mother, Rosa Bennett. “He dedicated his life (by) going to the Marines.” Flores, a Litchfield Park native, and four fellow Marines went missing and were declared dead December 11, five days after their refueling plane collided with a U.S. fighter jet off of Japan’s coast. Flores was stationed at the Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni, Japan. The pilot from the jet also died in the mid-air refueling accident while a crew member survived. A two-week salvage operation from late May to early June recovered Flores’ remains and two other Marines from the tanker.

His father, Maximo Flores, who served six years in the Marines, said he would have stayed in the Corps until he retired and he had plans to go to either drill instructor school or to recruiter school. “He was a very, very humble man, lov-

ing, patient, generous, caring,” he said. “I mean you can’t use no bad words against him, and I don’t say that because he is my son. Everybody else will give you the

Avondale shooting victim’s family looking for answers BY ERIC NEWMAN

West Valley View Staff Writer

Amid a slew of emotion, Patsy Holloway remembered being woken up early on June 30, when a detective knocked on her door and told her the devastating news. Her son, Jazzmond Holloway, 37, had been killed. Avondale police responded to calls of an accident at 12:31 a.m. that day near the

11100 block of W. McDowell Road, where Jazzmond had been in a single-car crash, according to police. Holloway was found with an apparent gunshot wound, and was pronounced dead at a local hospital. Addressing media and police officers alongside other family members on July 30, Patsy said she could not believe it at first, calling the act “senseless.” In the month since Jazzmond’s death,

Patsy said family friends and the local community have offered prayers and support, but she will not stop looking for help until the shooter is identified and prosecuted. She and her family members are now asking for the public’s help in identifying the shooter. “He (Jazzmond) did notMEDICATION deserve this. A

Growing up if I had any questions on homework, I’d kind of go straight to him. He always had my back. He always had my best interest at heart. I would do anything for him, and he would do anything for me.” Flores had four sisters and a brother. August 2, his casket arrived to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport aboard a commercial airliner, where it was met by his family and the Marine Honor Guard. After the coffin was loaded into a white hearse, it was escorted to the El Mirage funeral home in part by the Patriot Guard Riders, who are able to block traffic at intersections. That Saturday morning, approximately 20 riders, all volunteers, stood

outside the funeral home in the humidity to honor Flores. The group at invitation of the decedent’s family attend the funerals of active duty military, veterans and first responders. “They provide the freedom we enjoy today,” said Tom Burns, state captain of the Arizona chapter and a former Marine. He said his chapter attended about 350 funerals last year and 150 so far this year. Burns gave a brief bio of Flores to

the over 100 family and friends who gathered outside the chapel after the coffin was placed into a hearse by six Marines that included Flores’ dad in his dress blues. A few of Flores’ comrades from his squadron, nicknamed the “Sumos,” including the squadron’s sergeant major, Charles Tyler, also attended the funeral. “He was my Marine,” Tyler later said of Flores. Flores was assigned to the Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron (VMGR) 152 and earned awards, including the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal and the Humanitarian Service Medal, Burns told the crowd. “He served nine years,” he said. “He served all of us for nine years. He truly exemplified honor, courage and commitment.” After leading the crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance, Burns asked them to form a circle, join hands and sing “God Bless the USA.” The riders then followed the attendees and hearse to the nearby burial site, where the Marine Honor Guard

team provided the funeral honors that included a rifle-volley salute, a bugler performing Taps and the ceremonial folding and presentation of the flag from Flores’ casket to his wife, Rebecca. The two were married for six years and did not have children. A second pre-folded flag was presented to Bennett. The riders also presented three plaques — one to Rebecca, one to his father and one to his mother. As Flores’ coffin slowly lowered into the ground, his father stood at attention and suddenly belted out the Marines’ Hymn, “From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores to Tripoli. We fight our country’s battles in the air, on land, and sea…” and ended with the Marine battle cry, “Oorah.” Later, Flores said he had mixed emotion as he watched his son finally laid to rest. “I was happy and sad,” he said. “But happier than anything else because he is home and it’s going to bring some closure. When I found out that he was going to be buried here I feel like I can spend the night with him and hang out here and drink a Modelo. That was his favorite beer, a Modelo.”

Goodyear woman killed in wrong-way driver crash BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

A Goodyear woman died July 30 after her car was struck by a wrong-way vehicle on State Route 101, according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety. Troopers said Laiquan Lemon, 20, was hit by a Chevrolet Malibu sedan at 11:31 p.m. that evening. Lemon was reportedly driving a Nissan sedan when she was struck at Union Hills and the Loop 101 by the Malibu, which was headed northbound within the southbound lanes. A third vehicle became involved, though that driver was not injured in the incident. Officials only identified the wrong-way driver as a 22-year-old Phoenix woman. She was taken to a hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. Detectives are investigating to determine if impairment was involved.

Answers...continued from page 1 I’m asking anyone, if you know anything about this night, please just come forward and help us find out what happened,” she said. Brother Shayar Lee remembers Jazzmond as selfless, great man. A father of two kids, he leaves behind a 10-yearold son and 20-year-old daughter. Lee had to sit down with the two offspring, who he said now look at him as a father, and tell them they had lost a man that meant so much to them. “That just replays in my head at night,” he said. Sister Au’Bri Holloway echoed that sentiment, saying Jazzmond was selfless, caring and loving. He was a hard worker who kept his nose out of trouble and held multiple jobs to support his family financially. She and the rest of the family are adamant in their requests for public assistance. Even if justice is served, though, Jazzmond’s siblings said the loss will forever haunt the family that is now one member smaller. “I miss him. I just miss my brother. I can’t pick just one thing I’ll miss most,” Au’Bri said. In the meantime, the investigation is ongoing. Police did not divulge any

It’s going to happen,” Patsy said. “We’re going to catch the culprit that did this, and justice is going to be served.” Avondale Police obtained several pictures of a car closely following Jazzmond’s brown truck seconds before the shooting.

Times Media Group expands into California BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Times Media Group, the fast-growing publisher of more than 15 Arizona publications and websites, has acquired Southland Publishing, the Southern California-based publisher of several newsweeklies, magazines and digital media properties with a combined monthly circulation of more than 1 million readers and web visitors. Steve Strickbine, president of Times Media Group, which owns the Pulitzer Prize-winning East Valley Tribune, the award-winning Scottsdale Progress and 13 other Valley media platforms, called the Southland purchase a strategic expansion step into Southern California. Noting that the acquisition further increases the reach of TMG’s successful community news operation, Strickbine said, “Our primary goal at Times Media Group is to grow the number of readers we serve with community news, because we believe telling great stories and bringing tangible value to our advertising partners is a recipe for continued success not just in Arizona, but anywhere.

“The Southland publications have always been special in their connection with the communities they serve,” he added. “We can’t wait to further solidify that connection and do even more to demonstrate our commitment to our readers, our advertisers and our neighbors.” Southland Publishing, founded in 1997, has five offices located in Downtown Los Angeles, Ventura County, Santa Monica, Pasadena and San Diego. The TMG purchase includes all five newsweeklies: the LA Downtown News, the Pasadena Weekly, The Argonaut, the VC Reporter and the San Diego City Beat. Additionally, TMG has purchased Southland’s three monthly magazines: Arroyo Monthly, Playa Vista Direct and Ventana Monthly. Southland’s associated digital properties are also included in the transaction. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. “Southland Publishing and I have been very proud of these publications, and our employees who have made them such important parts of the com-

AESD announces free/reduced lunch policy BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Avondale Elementary School District No. 44 has announced its policy for providing free and reduced-price meals for children served under the National School Lunch, USDA School Foods and School Breakfast programs. Breakfast is $1 and lunch is $2.25 for sites within the Avondale School District. Pricing for meals at other sites served by the district may vary. Children who qualify for reduced-price meals can pay 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents for lunch. To apply for free or reduced-price meals, households may fill out a meal benefit application and return it to the school. Application forms are available to all households with a letter informing households of the availability of free and reduced-price meals for their children and what is required to be completed on the application. Applications are available in the front office of each school site, in the school cafeteria and on the district web page under Food and Nutrition. Applications may also be completed electronically at

family.titank12.com. The information households provide on the application will be used for the purpose of determining eligibility and verification of data. Applications may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. An application for free or reduced-price meal benefits cannot be approved unless it contains complete eligibility information as indicated on the application and instructions. The household size and income criteria will be used to determine eligibility for free and reduced-price benefits. Children from households whose income is at or below the guidelines are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Your children may qualify for free meal benefits if the household receives benefits and/or if your child meets a categorical requirement: • The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) • The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF); or

• The Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) • Homeless, migrant or runaway as defined by law; or • Enrolled in an eligible Head Start, Even Start or pre-kindergarten class as defined in by law • Foster children that are the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside For any child not listed on the eligibility notice, the households should contact the school about any child also eligible under one of these programs or should submit an income application for other children. If households/children receiving benefits under Assistance Programs or other source programs are not notified by the school of their free meal benefits, the parent/guardian should contact their school. Under the provisions of the free and reduced-price policy, the application specialist for the Food Service Department will review applications and determine eligibility. Parents or guardians dissatisfied with the ruling of the official may wish to discuss the decision with the determining official on an informal basis.

West Valley View Staff Writer

Students, parents, staff and Chasse Building Team officials gathered at Desert Oasis Elementary School in July for a ribbon-cutting ceremony in honor of the school’s latest expansion: A new two-story building equipped with classrooms; science, art and IT rooms; and a gymnasium. The 33,000-square-foot facility, which was funded by a voter-approved bond and constructed by Chasse Building Team, would not be possible without the community’s support, said Lupita Ley Hightower, Tolleson Elementary School District (TESD) superintendent. “I’m so happy that your parents and this amazing community said, ‘Yes, let’s build this building.’ The community always comes and supports us. I’m so grateful for each one of you,” Hightower told attendees. “I am beyond thrilled that you’re going to have this facility, so you can continue to live your dreams for the future.” The building, which houses seventh and eighth graders as of August 5, features innovative learning spaces that will complement the curriculum and programs on campus, Hightower told the West Valley View. “We have a STEAM focus — science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. We have an award-winning band program at Desert Oasis. We have an outstanding physical education teacher. The instruction, overall, with the new middle school building — it

means a lot,” she said. Desert Oasis Principal Claudia Espinoza said the gymnasium — which features bleachers, six adjustable basketball backboards and a multi-use stage — is going to change the game for students who play outside in different weather conditions. “It was rough in the heat, in the rain, in the cold. I think it’s going to allow the kids to do more. We can have sports after school here on our campus instead of going to other schools. We can be hosts,” Espinoza said. “They’re going to be super excited.” And Eva Gomez, who works with the school’s mariachi band, said the stage, which is connected to a music storage room, will serve as the band’s new classroom. “A bigger spot for the advanced mariachi to be able to perform; the space for all the kids; even just the sound system is really going to help them with their performances. I’m excited,” Gomez said. It’s that kind of growth that Chasse Building Team envisioned when it broke ground on the new facility last September, said Fred Bueler, Chasse Building Team project director. “The support from you guys culminates as students and staff are able to occupy this building,” Bueler said. “Occupy it for a place of inspiration, collaboration, for learning, for amazing musical performances and to utilize this gem for activities to continue to grow and develop the students of your community.”

Ducey denies rescinding Nike incentives

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | AUGUST 7, 2019

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Gov. Doug Ducey denied July 30 that he unilaterally ordered the Commerce Authority to rescind a $1 million incentive that had been offered to Nike to locate a manufacturing facility in Goodyear. The cash offer disappeared after a series of early-morning Twitter posts by Ducey on July 2 who said he was upset about the decision by the company to cancel rollout of a new sneaker that featured the “Betsy Ross flag.” The move by Nike apparently followed concerns that the flag would remind African Americans that it flew during a period when slavery was legal. But the governor insisted he never actually ordered the state authority to withhold the cash. “I’d direct you to re-read the tweet,” he said. The tweet, however, does not back the governor’s contention. “Nike has made its decision, and now we’re making ours,” he wrote at the time. “I’ve ordered the Arizona

Commerce Authority to withdraw all financial incentive dollars under their discretion that the state was providing for the company to locate here.” On July 30, Ducey defended the move. But the governor did not explain how he, as one member of the Commerce Authority, had the legal ability to rescind the grant, offering at time conflicting explanations. “The Commerce Authority did not vote for the incentive,” he said. Yet Ducey also claimed that he actually had the backing of the agency’s public-private board. “Sometimes boards agree with me; sometimes they don’t,” he said. “In this instance, they did; they agreed with me.” But there is no evidence that the board actually met before Ducey sent out the 2 a.m. tweets. The governor sidestepped a question of whether, in future incentive offers, he would have to approve the company’s politics before it could qualify for a state incentive. “I sit on the Arizona Commerce Authority,” he responded.

“These are subjective decisions,” Ducey said. “And I’ve made my decisions.” That led to a question of whether it was proper for the Commerce Authority, on which Ducey sits, to simply accede to his directive to withdraw the incentive. “Well, the Commerce Authority is working very well,” the governor responded. Ducey’s comments came after he attended a press conference where Microsoft provided some details about the three new data centers in the west Phoenix suburbs. Brian Janous, the company’s manager of energy and sustainability, said the new facilities in El Mirage and Goodyear will not be the drain on power and water that has historically been an issue with these kinds of facilities. He said they will be powered 100% with renewable energy. That includes a partnership with Arizona-based First

Solar to supply power to build a new 150 megawatt solar plant to be built in Maricopa. Janous also said that the operations are designed to not use any water for cooling until the temperature hits 85 degrees. Even then, he said, Microsoft plans to use “evaporative” technology, which is more efficient than other water-based cooling. And Janous said Microsoft is investing in a water-conservation project he said will help sustain water levels in Lake Mead. That, in turn, will help Arizona avoid having to further curtail how much water it can take from the Colorado River in future years. Microsoft had previously announced it had purchased the sites with the intent of providing new locations for the increasing need for cloud storage of data. What the company disclosed July 30 was that the project will create about 100 permanent jobs when fully operational and a $20 million annual economic impact. It also involves about 1,000 construction jobs. One financial benefit for Microsoft in locating in Arizona is that it qualifies as what the Arizona Commerce Authority calls a “sustainable redevelopment project computer data center.” What that means is that it does not have to pay sales and use taxes on the purchase of qualifying computer equipment delivered to and installed at the facility. Authority spokeswoman Connie Weber said the incentive requires Microsoft to make a minimum $200 million investment. She said it also has to be certified as a “green” building within the next five years. Howard Fischer writes for Capitol Media Services. On Twitter: @azcapmedia.

Avondale hires new assistant Avondale introduces electric fleet public works director

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | AUGUST 7, 2019

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Jeremy Abbott has been hired as the city of Avondale’s new assistant director of public works. In this position, Abbott will help oversee the operations of the city’s Public Works Department, which includes the divisions of water and sewer, street maintenance, fleet management, solid waste, CIP and recycling services. Abbott comes to Avondale with more than 20 years of experience in civil engineering, water resources and city planning focusing on innovation and project management. Prior to joining Avondale, Abbott was with the city of Lake Havasu for more than 17 years, his most recent role as engineering division manager/assistant city engineer. Prior to that, he also served with the city of Phoenix, for the department of engineering and architectural services. Abbott is a licensed professional civil engineer. His credentials include a Bachelor of Science in environmental engineering from Warren National University. He is multicertified in

GAMBLE’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Failed liberal policies Editor:

Democrats claim to be committed to protecting the environment and maintaining decent living standards, but in large cities run by Democrats, living conditions have become unhealthy, dangerous and intolerable for many. In a March 19 YouTube video entitled “Seattle is Dying,” the documentary shows the effects of several years of liberal rule. The city has become a magnet for drug-addicted criminals who know that law enforcement officials have been ordered not to arrest them. Coupled with being known as “Free-attle” for all its freebies, Seattle is descending into a lawless, overtaxed, unmanageable city that panders to criminals and the homeless instead of protecting the lives and businesses of its citizens. In a July 16 report by Reform California, a political action committee, the findings show that California, especially Los Angeles, is being overrun by rats. After 18 years of predominantly Democratic rule, the city is experiencing a major public health crisis. According to Dr. Drew Pinsky, “We have complete breakdown of the basic needs of civilization in Los Angeles right now.” Medieval diseases like typhus and bubonic plague are on the verge of an outbreak. The main reasons for the breakdown are due to the 59,000 homeless providing a source of food for the rats and the banning of most effective means for eradicating the rats. Instead of using commonsense practices to combat the rats, environmentalists want to use “green alternatives,” which are less effective. After 88 years of Democratic rule, Chicago is on the verge total financial and livability collapse. Murders are at an all-time high, rat infestation is the worst of all major U.S. cities and corruption is unabated. After 52 years of Democratic rule, Baltimore is one of the most crime-ridden cities in the world. Murders are up dramatically with no solutions in sight. After 57 years of Democratic rule,

Detroit is still crime-ridden, and according to the FBI, corruption is so ingrained that it is a “generational, systematic part of the culture of southeast Michigan.” After 63 years of Democratic rule, Portland’s city streets are strewn with garbage, drug paraphernalia and human feces. Portland Police Association President Daryl Turner, said, on July 16, 2018, “Our city has become a cesspool. Livability…is now replaced with human feces in businesses’ doorways, in our parks and on our streets.” After 55 years of Democrat rule, San Francisco has become a “drug-infested hellhole,” according to an April 22 Zero Hedge report. In a January 31 article, The San Francisco Chronicle stated, “San Francisco — where drug addicts outnumber high school students.” Instead of using commonsense solutions to big city problems, liberal city leaders continue to rely on failed liberal policies that encourage a vicious cycle of dependency, indolence, lawlessness and despair. Allowing the homeless, drug-addicted and mentally ill to continue to commit crimes and live in squalor does nothing for their self-respect and self-dignity. Enforcing drug and sanitation laws would at least send a message that their degrading behavior is unacceptable. Good intentions, political correctness and “progressive” solutions don’t work. Enabling bad behavior is counterproductive. New, pragmatic leadership is necessary; otherwise many of our large cities will collapse. Igor Shpudejko Goodyear

There she goes again

Editor: “People are going to die if we don’t start addressing climate change ASAP.” So spoke the most radical socialist/communist congressperson in the history of the United Sates, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. AOC’s view is promoted by a prominent segment of mainstream society.

An example: “Ninety-seven percent of scientists agree: #Climate change is real, man-made and dangerous,” U.S. President Barack Obama tweeted in 2013. This view motivated Bernie Sanders to say this February, “It is really a disgrace and an embarrassment that we have a president who rejects science.” This argument is driving the “Green New Deal” and much thinking in the Democratic Party. Only dangerously ignorant simpletons don’t believe in “manmade climate change,” don’t cha know? Once the crusaders can steamroll enough of their uninformed opposition, they and the scientists can deal with this threat and save the world. This is an age of astonishing irrationality! That 97% scientific consensus Obama referenced is not a fact. It is a terribly misleading figure. It derives from a survey of peer-reviewed science papers conducted by John Cook, an assistant professor at George Mason University. But, only 34% of the papers Cook examined took a position on the cause of global warming. He reckoned that 33% (97% of 34%) blamed humans as a cause. Thus, it would be more accurate to claim that one third of scientists say humans are causing climate change, and two thirds of them are not taking a position. However, when University of Delaware professor David Legates reex-

amined Cook’s study, he found that even the 33% figure may be inflated. By his assessment, only about 0.3% of the abstracts Cook examined dogmatically state that humans cause climate change. In the peer-reviewed Organization Studies, a 2012 survey of 1,077 professional engineers and geoscientists showed that only 36% believed humans are creating a global warming crisis. The large remaining majority were skeptical of this claim. They said they believe changes to the climate are natural. Normal earth cycles (global warming) are what brought the world out of the Ice Age. So, somewhere between 0.3% and 35% of climate scientists believe climate change is caused by humans. That is hardly a “scientific consensus.” There is a far greater consensus among scientists that we simply don’t know. This is because of a profusion of facts that contradict the manmade climate-change thesis. The fact is, for example, the earth has warmed and cooled before — and that it is not as warm today as it was centuries before people started using fossil fuels on a mass scale. Reams of data from ice cores, dripstones, tree rings and ocean sediment cores indicate that earth naturally alternates between warm and cold phases in a thou-

During the Medieval Warm Period, the Norman Duke William the Conqueror had his knights plant vineyards in balmy southern England, indicating that earth’s temperature was much warmer during these periods than it is today, yet none of the predictions of catastrophe that result from global warming occurred. Climate scientists say the world is

about 2.1 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than when the Little Ice Age ended in 1850. But, even if industrial emissions have partially contributed to this warming, there is no proof that such emissions will continue to have much of an effect. In fact, there is evidence to the contrary. It is well established that the first 20 parts per million of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere produce more warming than the next 400 parts per million. Additional carbon emissions will have a very limited effect, especially considering that rising carbon dioxide levels promote plant

growth, which reduces carbon dioxide levels and balances the atmosphere. Fact: There is no provable link between carbon emissions and higher atmospheric temperatures. Fact: Antarctic ice is increasing and the polar bear population is growing. Fact: Computer models formulating these apocalyptic scenarios cannot possibly account for all the factors affecting something as complex as earth’s climate. Fact: Even scientists and their peer reviewers are subject to those most unscientific of forces: Ideology and peer pressure. Yet, the radical left would have us believe that scientists think they know exactly what is happening, exactly why and exactly how they can fix it by limiting specific human behaviors (and, for that matter, cow behaviors, too). Actually, it’s not so much scientists but politicians like Obama, Sanders and Cortez, who think they know these things. In February 2015, this is how U.N. “climate official” Christiana Figueres articulated the accords goal: “This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the Industrial Revolution.” That is what the left is really after! It isn’t about science — it’s about remaking society. That’s why the people who are pushing for this are socialists. Remaking society in this way will undermine America’s free-market economy and representative government while giving the government far more power. Think about this: On August 31, 1944, Adolph Hitler said, “What you tell people in the mass in a receptive state of fanatic devotion will remain. Words received under a hypnotic influence are radical and impervious to every reasonable explanation. A new age of magic interpretation of the world is coming of interpretation in terms of the will and not of intelligence. There is no such thing as truth either in the moral or the scientific sense.” Modern America proves Hitler correct. People are holding on to radical ideas that are impervious to reason. On balance, environmental alarmism is to climate science what the Da Vinci Code is to church history — speculative, full of exaggerations and calculated to entertain, but of very little real value in discovering the truth. Much of its data is misleading and one-sided, and many of the key findings on

which its conclusions rest are just plain wrong. Hype gets more attention than does prudence. Thanking Christians should know better. DJ Hammond Buckeye

Follow the rules

Editor: In response to Michael Arnaud’s opinion: Are you kidding? Why do you think you are above the rules? Waste Management has a particular job to do, and there are rules the customer has to follow. Go to Litchfield Park’s website: refuse and recycling. The rules are: Put the containers in the street not before 6 p.m. the night before or by 6 a.m. the morning of pickup, and make sure the containers are 3 feet apart. There should be no waste outside the garbage container; only flattened boxes next to the recycle container. Obviously, nothing should be blocking the containers. There is a particular day for bulk pickup. You could always take your own garbage to the dump if you are so dissatisfied! You have to wait until the following week if you have too much garbage, or again, take it yourself to the dump. Maybe a neighbor who has room in their garbage can would let you put your extra stuff in theirs! The company doesn’t have to send out a second truck when you complain; it’s pretty darn nice that they have done that! Oh, and by the way, you are the prima donna, not Waste Management, and I think it would be excellent if you put a bow around the branches, especially at Christmastime. Bonnie Jansson Goodyear

Strong renewable energy standard is economically critical BY DRU BACON Guest Columnist

On behalf of the Conservative Alliance for Solar Energy (CASE), we applaud our state’s utility regulators — the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) — for recently considering increasing the renewable energy policy for Arizona. As conservatives, we believe energy policy, such as a strong renewable energy standard, is economically critical for our state and that Arizona should lead on America’s clean energy transition. Back in 2006, the then Republican-led ACC set an aggressive mandate for renewable energy with the Renewable Energy Standard Tariff (REST). REST has served Arizona well but is now woefully outdated. Arizona needs a bold change in the REST requirements to achieve massive economic benefits for businesses and local homeowners. And we need to do this quickly. New Mexico, Nevada, Hawaii, California and Washington have already passed laws requiring 100% renewable energy by 2045 or 2050. We are still sitting at a

weak 15% renewable energy, for comparison. In addition to a total of states with 100% renewable energy requirements, 131 U.S. cities have committed to 100% renewable energy. Six of those cities have already accomplished 100% renewable energy. We strongly suggest that Arizona needs a requirement for 100% clean

energy by 2045 to remain economically competitive with other states and to keep residential electric bills low. And we need that requirement to be mandatory and not just a goal. We applaud the commission’s wise actions to impose a moratorium on new gas-fired generation. Other states are shutting down gas plants, especially gas peaker plants, and replacing them

with renewable solar and wind with batteries. In fact, experts report that it is cheaper to shut down fully amortized coal and gas generation and replace it with cheaper, clean wind and solar with batteries. Los Angeles famously just signed a contract for new solar at just less than 2 cents per kilowatt hour and associated battery storage for 1.3 cents per kilowatt hour. Neither coal, gas nor nuclear can compete with 3.3-cent power. And that is especially true in solar-rich Arizona. Again, we strongly recommend a requirement for regulated Arizona Utilities produce at least 50% renewable energy by 2030 and 100% solar by 2045. The landscape for power generation technology and costs have changed dramatically. We believe the requirements the ACC is responsible for setting for monopoly electric utilities like Arizona Public Service must also change dramatically to take advantage of these new realities. Dru Bacon is the president of CASE and resides in Goodyear.

Has your home increased in value over the years? A new option may help you enjoy a better retirement. Keep reading if you own a home in the U.S and were born before 1957.

It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth. For many, this investment has substantially improved due to years of appreciation. Yet, according to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 6.9 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. With people now living longer than ever before and home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted.

American Advisors Group (AAG) has recently introduced a new Jumbo Reverse Mortgage loan that allows homeowners with high-value homes to borrow as much as $4 million of their home equity. Unlike a standard reverse mortgage, AAG’s Jumbo Reverse Mortgage loan has much higher loan limits, which gives those homeowners who qualify access to even more cash—for many, that means a better retirement. However, today, there are still millions of eligible homeowners who may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret. ”Some homeowners think these loans sound “too good to be true.” while others don’t know how a reverse mortgage works or understand the process of extracting equity from their home. You get the cash you need out of your home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments. It’s a fact: “no monthly mortgage payments” are required with a reverse jumbo mortgage; however, homeowners are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

*Source:https://www.mpamag.com/market-update/senior-home-equity-has-grown-to-6-9-trillion-112295.aspx Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is tax-deductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.V2019.04.17 NMLS# 9392 (www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org).

Business Briefcase

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

West Valley View Managing Editor

Hello, readers! With so much going on in the West Valley these past few weeks, there’s only so much time to get into the details. So, with that said, today’s agenda brings with it only a few items — but many details. I’m sure you’ve heard of plenty of other developments spanning the region, but those will have to wait until a future week. I have many on my radar, and as always, keep the suggestions coming. Here’s the news! First, Gehan Homes and Taylor Morrison are now part of the first phase of Brookfield Residential’s master-planned Alamar community in Avondale. Shea Homes and Landsea Homes previously announced their in-

volvement. Site grading is complete, with underground utilities currently being installed. The community is expected to open in the latter half of 2020, with phase one consisting of 461 homesites across six distinct neighborhoods, though it is entitled for up to 3,695 single-family homes. It has been said the neighborhoods will feature an abundance of parks, trails and open space, as well as a 41-acre community park built in partnership with the city. Brookfield is also partnering with the Littleton Elementary School District to build a new K-8 school on a 21-acre site. Alamar is on a 1,130-acre site north of the Sierra Estrella Mountains at Avondale and Broadway boulevards. “Alamar’s first-phase builders repre-

sent the tried-and-true partnerships we have developed at Eastmark and other communities; we know they will elevate the level of quality, service, value and unique designs that homebuyers eagerly seek today in the West Valley,” said John Bradley, Brookfield Residential Arizona president. Moving along, Booty’s Wings Burgers & Beer has opened its third West Valley location, this one at 13375 W. McDowell Road, Suite 101, Goodyear, between Litchfield and Dysart roads.

Buckeye Catalyst Program accepting applications BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

In the last four years, 27 businesses throughout the city took advantage of this program. Buckeye Economic Development

Local golf group a ‘mediocre’ option for players at that level

BY ERIC NEWMAN

West Valley View Staff Writer

A group of around 15 amateur golfers — members of the West Valley AZ Mediocre Golf Association — talked trash, hung out and even took a few swings at Valley Golf Center in Avondale on a Thursday night after work. The local chapter of the nationwide association calls their weekly outings “church.” “We come here and pray the golf gods make us better,” chapter President Jon Whipple said, smiling. Trolling social media for a consistent set of golf buddies, who would not outshine his skills — or lack thereof — on the course, he found the Phoenix chapter, and the fit was instant. “I wanted a group of people I knew would regularly come out and play, but people who didn’t take any of this too seriously, and just were here to have a good time,” Johnson said. He joined the Phoenix MGA, but events were often held in Gilbert or other eastern cities and towns. He and a few other members wanted the same atmosphere, but in closer proximity to their western homes.

In 2017, the West Valley chapter was born, and, at one point, held an association-high 62 members. The group aims to provide an outlet to play the sport socially for a fair price with the camaraderie of plenty of players who are energized to play, but not so much that they actually find themselves getting very much better. The MGA holds tournaments about once a month, usually with names mocking those of major golf championships and competitions surrounding the professional game — Whipple won the “Bratish Open” in July — with a score of 87. “I had a pool party at my house and got them all drunk; that’s why I won,” he joked. Whipple stood proudly with a giant promotional check reading $1.26 for first place, enough to place him in the top 150 association-wide. As of print time, Toledo chapter golfer John Yarder was atop the association’s global leader board with a total of $5.79 in winnings. The money seems to serve as much something to laugh at as anything else. If not already silly enough, nearly every recent competition for the West Valley chapter has included a “John Daly” hole, according to Johnson, named after the infamous party-animal professional golfer. Players have to chug a can of beer and use a John Daly club — far too big and powerful to be used on a regular golf course — that the group found on the grass at a past event to tee off. Thus, it is not shocking to say the tournaments, despite having a win-

ner at the end, are hardly anything more than friendly competition. Johnson, whose nickname is “Average,” — nearly everybody has a different moniker — has won awards for being exactly in the middle of the pack in tournament scorekeeping. The group even awards the last-place finisher, which, rather than embarrassment, many members wear as a badge of honor. But that does not mean the players on the course don’t act like they want to beat each other in the moment. “There’s always some trash talk going on, maybe a little side bet on a hole or something, but it’s all in fun. Nobody’s taking any of it too seriously; that’s the point.” Johnson said. The group is not just centered around playing golf, either. Johnson said the group will host cookouts for members, or take a road trip to the Waste

Management Phoenix Open each year in Scottsdale. Even members of other MGA chapters are welcome to hang out on vacation to the area. “We just kind of become friends on the course, and then we keep hanging out and doing a lot of different stuff. It’s just fun,” Johnson said. Always looking for members, West Valley AZ MGA encourages potential members to visit their Facebook page or their chapter website, mgatour.com/ chapters/west-valley-az. Annual chapter fees are around $40, and players will pay for participation in church or other competitions.

Meet someone unexpected who will never be the same again CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph West Valley View Columnist

Let me set the stage for you. Several years ago, I was speaking in a large church in the Philippines. The church was in a poor barrio of Manila. A thousand people or more were crammed into the old, tattered building, designed to hold 500 people. But the room was filled with expectant and exuberant Filipinos. The temperature in the room was hot, but the spiritual temperature in the people was even hotter. I was speaking on a subject of which we all have knowledge, but dare I say, we have little revelation. It’s too familiar to us. We know it but we don’t know it. I was speaking the meaning of blessing. “Blessing” in Hebrew means to kneel and present a gift, too. The blessing can be given to someone who deserves it or doesn’t deserve it. Most of God’s blessings are given, just because! In these cases, the person didn’t earn it, doesn’t deserve it and wasn’t even expecting it. By giving a blessing, one is acknowledging the worth of someone or something by kneeling and presenting a gift to it. As I was speaking on blessing, a spontaneous thought entered my mind. It was a risk, but I went for it. It was one of those amazing moments when God, the audience, the speaker and the recipient of the blessing all intersected at the same time. It was a moment we all will never forget. And now the rest of the story. So here I am, in front of all these people, attempting to communicate the concept of blessing in a way they would understand forever. Walking down one of the crowded aisles of this church, I picked a lady out of the audience who looked very destitute. In fact, I would say she was the most destitute there. Shaking with fright but willing to go with me, I gently and slowly led

her to the front of the stage in the sight of everyone. After we ascended to the platform, we faced one another. Everyone was watching. You could have heard a pin drop. Everyone there was 100% focused on me and this woman. Then I knelt before her. What happened next surprised everyone. I reached into my pocket and presented to her $30 in Filipino pesos, which was everything I had on my person. She looked at me in disbelief. Suddenly, she realized I was giving the pesos to her. I was blessing her, kneeling before her and presenting her with a gift. I was blessing her… “just because.” “Just because” means no strings attached. I was attributing value to her. Not for what she does or did but for who she is, a fellow human being made in the image of God. She burst into cries and tears of disbelief and gratitude, overwhelmed by the gift. I imagine nothing like this had ever happened to her before. The crowd gasped as they understood what was happening. For that one moment, I felt for the first time the significance of blessing. It was just one of those moments of illumination when God did something that transcended the personal and mental barriers of everyone in the audience, including me. Now guess what happened. I walked down another aisle of the church and found another destitute woman, most likely a widow. I slowly and gently led her up to the speaking platform. Then I asked the first woman who had received my blessing (still in shock from receiving it) to kneel before the second woman and give some of the pesos she had received from me to her. She understood the lesson and quickly complied with my request. The audience was still hushed. It was an “a-ha” time for everyone. Blessing is not legislated. It’s an inside job that comes from the Spirit of God touching the giver of the blessing to give to the one receiving the blessing. Just like God blesses us, we were blessed to bless others. God gives blessings to us in order

to get those blessings through us to others. What’s the takeaway here? The God who is immortal, invisible, eternal, the only wise God, came from heaven to earth in an earthly form, knelt before us, presenting us with the gift of salvation and eternal life. We didn’t deserve it. We aren’t good enough to earn it. He blessed us “just because.” It’s God’s nature. What? God knelt to me? This should blow our minds. That gift is yours; take it. But don’t forget to share that salvation with others, too. How can you bless others? One way is extending the blessing of forgiveness. Maybe it’s time to bless someone who hurt you by blessing them. Sound crazy? That’s what God did for you. God kneeled before you and presented you with the gift of

forgiveness. Don’t just count your blessings; let your blessings count. Go them personally, write a letter or do whatever you need to do. Bless them by presenting the gift of your forgiveness. Un-handcuff yourself from them by forgiving them. You were blessed to bless. Ann Voskamp said, “The greatest gift of all is to become the blessing.” Joyce Lock said, “Some wish blessings, others pray for blessings, some send blessings and some become blessings.” I am working on that last category, how about you?

Wildlife World announces animal care and conservation awards winners BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park has announced the recipients of its Annual Animal Care & Conservation Awards. Over the past three decades, Wildlife World has contributed tens of thousands of dollars, as well as thousands more as in-kind support and staff expertise to dozens of local, national and international organizations working on habitat restoration and wildlife conservation all over the globe. These financial awards of $1,000 to $10,000 were created to recognize worthy efforts in field conservation, public display and education and basic research designed to preserve the

planet and inspire future generations to care about wildlife and wild places. In addition to the main awards, Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park, along with the Kimmerle family at Sanderson Ford, presented the leaders of The Peninsular Pronghorn Recovery Program with a much-needed F250 pickup truck. Peninsular pronghorn are critically endangered. Once numbering in the thousands, today approximately 150 survive in the wild. “We are extremely grateful for the decades of support from our guests and friends of the zoo, like the Kimmerle family, which make donations like

this possible,” said Mickey Ollson, the zoo’s director. The recipients include:

The Peninsular Pronghorn Recovery Program The Peninsular Pronghorn Recovery Program is directed by the NGO Espacios Naturals y Dessarrollo Sustenable and leads the most successful conservation efforts in the recovery of the peninsular pronghorn, an endangered terrestrial mammal. Their dedication has managed to reverse the declining trend in the number of individuals of this unique subspecies in the world and lay the foundation for the sustainable recovery of its

original habitat on the Baja California Peninsula. Natural spaces and sustainable development A. C. (ENDESU) was created with the mission of conserving and promoting the sustainable use of natural resources in Mexico, for the value they represent for future generations.

Burnout now recognized as medical diagnosis BY UNITEDHEALTHCARE STAFF WRITER

Some days, your job may feel like an uphill battle. Perhaps it’s a struggle to be consistently productive or to even motivate yourself to get in the door. It’s normal to feel checked out of your job sometimes, but when you feel this daily it may be something more. Burnout is no longer just a feeling; it’s a legitimate medical diagnosis classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an “occupational phenomenon.” It can be difficult to know if what you’re feeling is just a bad day at work or if it’s burnout. Here are some questions to ask yourself: • Do you feel like you have to force yourself to go into work? • Do you lack the energy to get work done?

• Do you have trouble concentrating or feel a lack of satisfaction for your accomplishments? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you might be experiencing burnout. WHO characterizes burnout according to three dimensions: • Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion • Increased mental distance from one’s job, feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one’s job • Reduced professional efficacy These feelings and effects are only to be referred to in regard to your job and should not be applied to describe other areas of life. If you haven’t voiced your feelings or found an effective outlet to reduce your

stress, burnout’s effects may spill over into your mental, physical and emotional health, which may affect your personal life. If you feel you may be experiencing burnout, here are some tips to help you cope: • Openly communicate with your supervisor. Discussing your concerns may help you find solutions to things that are causing stress at work. • Reach out for support. Coworkers, friends or loved ones may offer the support you need to help you cope with your stress. • Find ways to relax. Consider trying yoga, meditation or breathing exercises to improve your mental health. • Get your body moving. Exercise

Verrado senior working to make prom easier for foster girls BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

When Jaden Koruba was adopted by her foster parents at age 15, she immediately wanted to give back. She told her parents, Mark and Stacy Koruba, that she wanted to collect gently used pro and formal gowns with the hopes of donating them to teens in the foster care system. “Prom is very expensive, and a dress is not something many people can afford, especially foster parents,” Stacy said. “My daughter wanted to try to give a foster teen a special memory that could potentially last a lifetime.” So far, the Litchfield Park teen has collected 68 dresses with a goal of 200. “I consider prom or homecoming to be a normal part of high school,” she said. “Many kids aren’t going to be able to experience that.” Now 17, Jaden was adopted by the

Korubas after being with them for six years. She has been collecting the gowns through Facebook groups and Nextdoor. To donate a dress, email asimpledeed@yahoo.com.

Jaden is active at Verrado High School, where she is a senior. She is the president of the psych club and is on the board of the Key and LGBTQ clubs. She’s also a member of the Na-

tional Honor Society. Through the city of Litchfield Park, she participates in the Litchfield Park Youth Council. She doesn’t have a deadline for collecting the dresses, as she’s looking for a partner nonprofit group. Jaden is hoping to land that partnership by December so the dresses can be distributed in time for prom. “I went to prom last year,” she said. “I had a pretty good time. I’m sure everyone’s prom is going to be different. I want everyone to have that chance to experience it.” Passionate about art, Jaden plans to study medicine in college so she can be a physician’s assistant. Stacy is proud of her daughter. “This is something that is close to my daughter’s heart, as she feels lucky to have found a home where she has been adopted and also feels sad for the kids who are still looking,” she said.

Domingo Gutierrez

Domingo Gutierrez, 98, passed away on Sunday, July 28, 2019, surrounded by his family at his home in Avondale. He was the eldest of nine children born in Brady, TX on January 2, 1921. He parents, Juan and Teresa moved the family to Arizona at the beginning of the Great Depression, arriving first in Higley, AZ, and eventually settling in Waddell where the family worked as farm workers for Boswell Farms. Domingo enlisted in the US Army at the beginning of World War II and served in Japan. After the war, Domingo returned to Waddell, married, and continued working as a farm worker throughout the west valley (Waddell, Litchfield Park, Marionette – now known as Sun City and Sun City West, and Youngtown.) With Del Webb establishing Sun City, Domingo pursued another form of work and established his own mechanic shop/gas station in Avondale. In 1961 he moved his family to Avondale as well. After a few years of struggling to keep up with the nation’s oil issues and self-service gas stations, Domingo went to work for the Litchfield Elementary School District until he retired in 1998. After retirement, being the hard-working person that he was, he continued seeking part-time opportunities until his hearing loss made it difficult to work. Domingo found it important to keep up with current events and news and was an avid reader of The Arizona Republic (morning paper) and The Phoenix Gazette which was an evening edition of major news in Phoenix. Domingo also enjoyed listening to baseball games on the radio as that’s what he was accustomed to before television. Even with his hearing loss, and with Closed Caption technology, he rarely missed a Diamondback’s game on TV. Domingo is survived by his wife of almost 71 years, Mary Moya Gutierrez; four daughters and one son, Esther Carnero (John) of Tolleson, AZ, Lillian Kessel (David) of Cornville, AZ, Patricia Lorenz-Ray of Avondale, AZ, Debra Pamplin (Peter) of Atlanta, GA, and Domingo (Jay) Gutierrez (Joan) of Glendale, AZ; ten grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Mary Celeya, and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his oldest daughter, Josephine Bejarano; first grandson, Francisco Bejarano, Jr.; his parents; four brothers; and two sisters. Funeral services were held on August 5, 2019 at Thompson Funeral Chapel. Interment will be at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.

Suzanne Madeleine Cleriot

In the early morning hours of July 23, 2019, heaven’s gates opened and welcomed home our amazing mother and grandmother, Suzanne Madeleine Cleriot. Suzanne was born on April 20, 1933 in Paris, France to Suzanne Magdaline and Michael Cleriot. In 1942, Suzanne and her sister Jeanette were brought to the US to reside in Rochester, NY with their aunt and uncle. It was there that she later made a family with Gerald Tracy, Jr. of Pittsford, NY. Suzanne and Gerald made their home in the town of Chili, NY where they raised their eight children. She moved to Phoenix, AZ to be closer to her daughter in 2000. Everywhere that she went, she had the love and affection of complete strangers. Her great sense of humor and quick wit made her a popular companion of both young and old. She had a great love for people, no matter their past, their heritage, or their age. She also loved flowers, especially roses, and was passionate about tending to them. Suzanne had an amazing ability to cook for large groups. Her food was delicious and impossible to replicate, since she never used any measuring devices. She also enjoyed knitting, needlepoint, all art, and loved to color. In her last days she found great comfort in having her children close to her through prayer, phone calls, and bedside visits. The family is forever grateful to those who took such good care of her. She will never be forgotten and forever missed. Suzanne is survived by her children, Dr. Jerry Tracy, III (Holly), Dr. Theresa Tracy, Beverly Luciano (Alan), Suzanne Tracy (Dr. Andrew Gunn), Mary Brennan, Richard Teraci (Marsha), Laura Jean Brandon (Michael John), and Cynthia Cheroke (Steve); and grandchildren, Rachel and Theodore Johnson, Christina Liciano, Stephen Michael Tracy, Taylor Jo and Ellie Marie Brennan, Beauregard and Juliette Moody, Tanya Sue and Kevin Brandon, and Zachary and Brody Cheroke.
