Goodyear police spokeswoman Lisa Berry calls Goodyear one of the smaller cities in the Valley, with a population of 83,000. So, when Goodyear Police and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office made a large drug bust, it was shocking. Diego Diaz Gamez, 23, of Glendale, was the backseat passenger in a car driven by his sister at 11:30 a.m. August 9. The sister, an unlicensed driver, was pulled over for speeding and following too closely near Litchfield and Van Buren roads. Berry said Gamez, a noncitizen who had a Mexican passport, was in possession of 2 grams of marijuana. The car was impounded because the sister was driving illegally. During a search of the vehicle, additional drugs and cash were discovered, including white heroin (9.9 pounds); black heroin (7.4 pounds); cocaine (1.86 pounds); methamphetamine (1.56 pounds); 2,500 fentanyl pills/M30; marijuana (2 grams); and $44,312 A traffic stop yielded $44,312 in cash as well as a variety of drugs. in cash.

Bayless opening clinic for families, at-risk children By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Bayless Integrated Healthcare is opening a one-stop clinic for at-risk children and their families in the Avondale Elementary School District. The multispecialty clinic, in the original AESD building at 235 W. Western Avenue, will provide family medicine, behavioral health and life skill services to students and families who reside in the Southwest Valley. It is expected to open in early September, said Kristen Ray, Bayless’ vice president of behavioral health. “The other behavioral health providers are several to 20 miles outside of the area. It’s going to be a huge impact to meet children and their families where they’re at. There are transportation barriers, parents are working, there are multiple children in different schools. Trying to go from place to place is rough. Being on the campus for one of the schools is going to be really important.” WellCare Health Plans, Care1st Health Plan Arizona and the WellCare Community Foundation donated $230,000 to help expand and renovate the offices so Bayless physicians can provide services. Nearly 1 in 4 children in Maricopa County are living at or below the poverty line, and many lack access to needed health care services. For example, studies show 70 percent of Arizona children with major depression do not receive needed mental health treatment, according to Ray. To help expand access to underserved children and families in Maricopa County, the new clinic will offer physical and behavioral health services to approximately 12,000 to 13,000 AESD students in schools like Avondale Middle, Elíseo C. Félix and Lattie Coor schools. “We’re excited to offer quality health care services to meet the physical and

Bayless Integrated Healthcare will also collaborate with the Care1st Avondale Resource Center, located across the street, to connect patients to social and human services. Three years in the making, the center offers a variety of programs such as health care enrollment, Women, Infants and Children
(WIC), financial literacy workshops and parenting classes. “We’ve had so much support from everybody in the community,” Ray said. “Existing patients are ready for it to open. We also went to a couple meet-the-teacher nights for some of the schools. Everybody is excited to get services close by. They’re looking to get their medical home and I think it’ll meet the need for a lot of families.” To learn more about Bayless Integrated Healthcare, call 602-230-7373 or visit baylesshealthcare.com.

Buckeye residents will get a firsthand look at how much water the average person uses daily, thanks to the Water Use It Wisely Tower on display throughout September at the Coyote Library, 21699 W. Yuma Road. The 16-foot-tall pyramid is designed to help people understand their average daily water use indoors and outdoors. The display is made of 120 1-gallon water jugs and creates a great visualization of a “typical” amount of water used by people each day in the desert. On average, one person uses 120 gallons: • 65 gallons of water outdoors for landscape watering, pools, etc. • 27 gallons for showers, baths and flushing toilets • 21 gallons for using faucets and cleaning (clothes washers, dishwashers, etc.) • 7 gallons for other uses (drinking, etc.) This is the second time the pyramid is on display in Buckeye, thanks to the city’s Water Resources Department’s partnership with Water Use It Wisely. For more information, visit buckeyeaz.gov/residents/water-resources.

Goodyear PD receives grant for DUI patrol By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Goodyear Police Department Traffic Unit received a $40,000 grant from Oversight Council on Driving or Operating Under the Influence Abatement to pay for overtime, scheduled training and events this year. The traffic enforcement unit’s goal is to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries as well as the high cost to residents resulting from DUI/impaired driving. This grant will allow Goodyear police to conduct aggressive enforcement, attend DUI task forces, and provide education and public awareness. “We received $40,000 from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety for overtime, extra officers on the road during peak times of impaired drivers,” said Jason Seabright, traffic unit sergeant. The Goodyear Police Department has received the grant previously. The traffic unit has five officers and a sergeant, but the grant allows patrol officers with an interest in taskforces or special enforcement the chance to help, Seabright said. An additional grant allows the officers to speak to students and citizen academy participants about the dangers of impaired driving. “We hit the driving-age kids and just before driving age,” Seabright said. “We bring the portable breath test, beer goggle and marijuana goggle. They mimic the effects of being drunk and high.”

The property has been returned and given to MCSO. It’s important that this stuff is not in the hands of a criminal.” Gamez was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail with a $100,000 cash bond. He was charged with three counts of sale of narcotic drugs; three charges of transporting narcotic drugs; sale of dangerous drugs; transport of dangerous drugs; possession of marijuana; possession of drug paraphernalia; conspiracy; money laundering; use of electronic communication in drug transaction; assisting a criminal Drugs and guns were found during a Goodyear traffic syndicate; possession of sto- stop and subsequent search of a suspect’s home in len property (the vest and AR- Glendale.

Justice Courts need hearing officers By West Valley View staff The Justice Courts of Maricopa County are putting out a call to members of the public who may have what it takes to preside over certain kinds of court cases. Every day, Justices of the Peace handle evictions, orders of protection, civil lawsuits, criminal traffic citations, civil traffic citations, small claims cases and more. Those last two types – civil traffic and small claims – may also be heard by volunteer hearing officers. The Justice Courts have a need for qualified hearing officers in the West
Valley at court buildings in Avondale and Surprise. Small claims are cases where one person has filed a lawsuit of $3,500 or less against another person. The Hearing Officer listens to the evidence and decides whether to award a monetary judgment. In civil traffic cases, a law enforcement officer has given a traffic citation to someone who then pleads “not responsible.” The law enforcement officer states his/her case in court and the defendant does the same. The hearing officer then makes a decision. If “re-
sponsible,” a fine is assessed. If “not responsible,” the case is dismissed. Qualifications include a serious commitment to listen and be fair. A calm and patient demeanor, and a desire to help neighbors and peers in the community are important. Officers must donate days per month, sitting on the bench listening to these court cases. They must pass fingerprint and background checks. Those with felony convictions will be disqualified. The Justice Courts are collecting names of citizens who think they would be a good fit. They will be in-
vited to a “behind-the-bench” tour of either the Southwest Regional Court Center at 10420 W. Van Buren Street in Avondale or the Northwest facility at 14264 W. Tierra Buena Lane in Surprise. The day will include a tour of the courthouses, information about the Justice Courts and being a hearing officer, then sitting in on actual trials in progress. Anyone interested should send an email to Judge Quentin Tolby at MCJusticeCourts@gmail.com to start the process. Tours will be scheduled in August.

Buckeye Airport receives $275,000 grant
By West Valley View staff The Buckeye Municipal Airport was recently awarded a $275,000 grant from the Federal Aviation Administration to rehabilitate and replace 17,500 square yards of asphalt and concrete and 11,000 square feet of taxiway at the southern end of the airport. The grant money includes all the design and engineering costs to make these improvements. It also includes the design of edge lighting for the ramp area and southern taxiway. Both of these areas are not lit, so this will be a much-needed safety improvement to the airport.
In addition, the grant money includes a backup generator for the administration building and fueling facility. This will ensure the airport maintains operational readiness of essential services during a power outage. The design process for all these projects will be completed in 2019 and construction will take place in fiscal year 19/20. To find out more about the operations of the Buckeye Municipal Airport, please visit buckeyeaz.gov/residents/ buckeye-municipal-airport.

OPINION
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | AUGUST 22, 2018
OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS
SMITH'S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Some liberals are OK Editor: I am grateful to the West Valley View for keeping free speech alive and well in the great state of Arizona! I guess I was not too surprised to see the humorless and emotion-charged reaction to my letter (“Wacky Liberals,” July 11, 2018). It appears liberals think they are the only ones allowed to use sarcasm and some wit in the public square. Conservatives can look at a liberal the wrong way and it’s a hate crime. Welcome to the civil war that is not so new after all. It’s like we’re back in the dreaded 1960s. Only the technology used to communicate is better. The hypocrisy is so much worse. Anyway, of course I do not think every liberal has a documented mental disorder. That would be silly. However, liberalism as practiced today is outright psychotic. Bestselling author and awardwinning radio talk show host Michael Savage coined the term and authored the powerful book titled Liberalism is a Mental Disorder. And he could not be more spot on. To letter writer Laura Gaekel, (“My viewpoint on Tony Zizza’s letter,” July 25, 2018), I am not misguided at all. There is a reason why Donald Trump beat 17 career politicians to become president. Liberalism and establishment Republicans have failed the people miserably. Letter writer Pamela Gist (“Offended by Zizza’s letter,” August 1, 2018) is curious because it ignores the damage liberals are doing who are covered with such praise by the mainstream media. Liberals who force public officials out of eating establishments, the movies and parking lots are in fact mentally deranged. And honestly, liberals who cannot give Trump any credit for the state of our economy and foreign affairs are far more offensive than anything little ole me could possibly say. Again, there is some sarcasm attributed to stating that liberalism is a mental disorder. And Pamela Gist must not be paying attention enough because Queen Hillary is in no way “gone from the
spotlight.” Queen Hillary exists to be in the spotlight. This is the only way she truly feels at home. Who else but her could go on a nonstop book tour with a straight face only to not take blame for losing? Pamela Gist states, “She has nothing to do with our current president.” Not true. The people looked at the Clinton chain of corruption coming back to the White House again and said – not on my watch. Bestselling author and TV host Jeanine Pirro speaks the most truth to power when it comes to Hillary Clinton in her book Liars, Leakers and Liberals: The Case Against the Anti-Trump Conspiracy. She says, “Hillary, if you really want to know what happened, here’s a hint: he won, you lost! You lost because you were a lousy candidate, you didn’t have a message, and you lied just about every time you opened your mouth. You put our national security at risk with your email setup and ran a foundation that was nothing more than an organized ‘pay-to-play’ enterprise parading as a charity. Four men died in the attack in Benghazi under your watch as you lied about what caused it.” Oh my, how I love this, judge! Tony Zizza Avondale
Just stop Editor: I am getting tired of the unwanted calls I keep getting from people who want to buy my home. They do not take no for an answer even if you press 2 to be removed from the call list or tell them to remove it. Last week my husband’s cell rang and when I went to answer it my cell rang. It was the same number and after reaming out the caller the landline rang, and it was them again. I now tell them I want $1.5 million cash. Hope that shuts them up! Lynda Fiorini Avondale
Stop the free meals Editor: Yesterday I saw a TV commercial with Jeff Bridges asking people to text
785-785 to wipe out school hunger. Are you kidding me? The kids in our schools are obese and do not get exercise like we did when growing up, and they now are mirror images of their morbidly obese parents who are impersonating baby elephants. These kids have $800 smartphones that their parents gave them, so why can’t they afford to eat at home? Nobody gave me a taco or a breadstick when I was in school. Schools would not be begging for money if they cut out the free lunch program. These fat kids eat breakfast at home and get another free breakfast when they get to school, then a free lunch. It’s time for Americans to protest to their government about what is being put into their food. High-fructose corn syrup is the culprit that has turned America into baby elephants. Check the internet, people. It has been banned in the European Union, Russia, Canada and China years ago because they saw it turning Americans morbidly obese. Diet soda is No. 2 for morbid obesity. Diet soda tricks your pancreas into thinking you ate a couple Hershey bars. Watch My 600-Pound Life or My One-Ton Family on TV to see what this country has turned into. In a couple years, we won’t have any soldiers to defend this country because they will be so fat that pushing a button will be all they can do.
Learn how to read labels and do not buy products that contain high-fructose corn syrup. It is in pastry and pies that are filled with fruit, and in practically anything you love to eat if you or family members are morbidly obese. Even chocolate milk. Write to the surgeon general and demand that high-fructose corn syrup be removed from all food products and banned just like the rest of the world has done. James Logan Buckeye

My first 100 days in Congress By Rep. Debbie Lesko It is hard to believe August marks my first 100 days serving as your congresswoman. Although it has only been a short time since I was sworn in, I have introduced three key pieces of legislation to secure our border, improve our education system, and protect Social Security and Medicare for our seniors. Serving the people of Congressional District 8 is an honor, and I am blessed for the opportunity to represent Arizona in the U.S. Congress. As your congresswoman, national security is one of my top priorities. We live in a border state, so we know the dangers that come with an unsecured border, including at our ports of entry. With more than 300 official ports of entry into the United States, it is important to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities, so we can prevent terrorism, human trafficking, child smuggling and the importation of illegal drugs. To stop these crimes, I introduced,
HR 6400, the United States Ports of Entry Threat and Operational Review Act. My legislation requires the Department of Homeland Security to analyze our air, land and sea ports and develop a plan to make them more secure. This bill is one step closer to becoming law, as it passed the House Homeland Security Committee, of which I am member, and now heads to the full House of Representatives for consideration. This is quite an accomplishment for being the second newest member of Congress. Every child in this country should have the opportunity to attain an excellent education. For this reason, I sponsored HR 6259, the Make Education Local Act, to allow our local schools and teachers to make decisions – not bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. My bill will bring more money back into our classrooms for students and teachers. This is just the first step in improving and strengthening education in Ari-
zona classrooms, and I will continue to work with local leaders and education advocates to improve education for all students. Over 60 million Americans are enrolled in Medicare and Social Security, with many relying on the monthly payments to make ends meet. Senior citizens have paid into the Social Security and Medicare programs with the promise it would be there for them. I believe Congress must keep this promise, and that is why I introduced HRes 1026 recognizing Medicare and Social Security as essential programs that must be protected for enrollees and strengthened for the future. It also rejects any changes to these programs that would diminish payments and supports efforts to reduce waste, fraud, and abuse in these programs. In my first 100 days in Congress, I have introduced three bills touching on some of the most important issues facing our district. There is more to be

Health care is a moral obligation By Dr. Hiral Tipirneni
If we truly put people before politics, health care reform would focus on stabilizing and strengthening, not repealing and replacing. Unfortunately for us, Washington can’t seem to find a way to solve these problems. Nearly a year ago, we only had “repeal.” Thankfully, Sen. John McCain, calling for true bipartisanship, stalled this legislation, which seemed more like sabotage than solution in addressing our country’s ongoing health care crisis. It threatened to allow for even higher premiums and loss of coverage for pre-existing conditions, as well as for low-income seniors, children and people with disabilities. Recently, there were renewed calls to “replace” our health care system with single-per federal program, a government-run system that was just hit with a $32.6 trillion price tag over 10 years, according to a study from a university-based policy center backed
O B S T E T R I C S • G Y N E C O L O G Y
by the infamous Koch brothers. As Yogi Berra said, “It’s like déjà vu all over again” with partisanship winning the day. I’m not a politician. As an ER physician and cancer research advocate, I have seen firsthand the struggles of the uninsured as well as the direct, tangible benefits the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has brought to real people’s lives. It’s too valuable to simply toss aside. That said, it’s a fact that our health care system remains broken, with both rising costs and deductibles. To stabilize and strengthen our health care system, we need a collaborative approach that addresses the twin pillars of expanded coverage and cost containment. Borrowing ideas from both sides of the debate, here are four places to start: 1) Protect the current, most beneficial and popular ACA provisions: a. No “age tax” because of pre-
existing conditions; b. Prohibit annual and lifetime caps on health care benefits; c. Children can remain on their parents’ insurance plans until age 26; and d. Maintain the requirement that all marketplace plans cover basic health care services. 2) Expand Medicare, a highly effective, efficient plan, by allowing people under age 65 to buy into it. This public option is not a handout. It helps people nearing retirement while lowering costs for those in the private insurance markets. And, it strengthens Medicare’s ability to negotiate lower drug prices for its customers as well as better rates with hospitals and medical practitioners. 3) Secure payment of cost-sharing reductions to help stabilize the current healthcare marketplace and encourage insurance companies’ participation. 4) Drive health care coverage

competition by looking for innovative ways to encourage creative solutions, like competition between the private sector and Medicare.
•
I believe health care is a moral obligation but make no mistake, it is never “free.” In the public and private marketplaces, healthier individuals help pay for the less healthy ones. The bottom line is that the health care risk pool must be expanded with healthy individuals. A measured, step-by-step transition to a simpler health insurance system that ensures universal coverage is what we need. The interplay of private insurers and a public system, focused on covering all Americans, bringing down costs and improving patient care, preserves our system’s strengths and protects the free market while offering better choices for consumers.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | AUGUST 22, 2018

By Connor Dziawura
Hello, readers! We have a lot to discuss today, so let’s get this show on the road. I’ve received quite a few requests regarding new businesses across the West Valley as of late, though some info is still bubbling. Keep an eye out in future issues of Business Briefcase as more businesses come to light and don’t worry if I haven’t gotten to yours yet. Today, though, I have plenty to start! From updates regarding Babbo to a major building sale in Tolleson, as well as an organization’s open house, chamber events and more, the West Valley is booming. So, here’s the news! In early 2019 Babbo Italian Eatery will open its ninth Metro Phoenix location, at Goodyear’s PebbleCreek Marketplace, at the southwest corner of PebbleCreek Parkway and McDowell Road. The restaurant will be 6,000 square feet and accommodate 236 guests. A private dining room will hold parties of 20 to 74 people. Of the restaurant’s eight current locations, two are in the West Valley – Surprise and Glendale, the latter of which kickstarted the restaurant in 2002. The Goodyear location will take the brand even further. The West Valley View ran a story in July about the local family-owned restaurant’s plans to expand to Goodyear, though the exact location had up to that point not been revealed. For more information, visit babboitalian.com or facebook.com/ babboitalianeatery, or revisit the West Valley View’s July 4 story “Babbo Italian Eatery coming to Goodyear in 2019.” On to some more big news, RD Management LLC sold a vacant building in Tolleson to New Generation Properties LLC for $5.5 million. The 86,479-square-foot former Kmart is located at 8701 W. McDowell Road, near the southeast corner of 91st Avenue and McDowell Road, just north of I-10. It neighbors the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott that broke ground in early June. (See “Marriott breaks ground for Fairfield Inn” in the June 13 West Valley View.) No information yet on who’s going to fill the building. “The key to staying competitive in today’s ever-evolving retail industry is focusing your efforts on growing in core markets and diversifying your portfolio to include sectors beyond retail,” said Richard Birdoff, principal
and president of RD Management, in a statement. “This approach has worked well for us at RD Management, and our sale in Tolleson is yet another example of us strategically disposing of a property where the proceeds can be reinvested in new real estate assets and opportunities.” According to Avondale’s Economic Development Analyst Lisa Lantz, the city recently issued building permits for a 68,000-square-foot, three-story office building at 10825 W. McDowell Road. Construction will begin soon, and a subsequent Phase II will increase the size to 136,000 square feet. Tenant information will be available soon. Moving along, the Arizona Chapter National Safety Council is partnering with the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce for a Lunch N Learn called “Raising Eyebrows” from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday, September 4. Lunch will, of course, be provided at the event, which will be held in the chamber’s conference room, 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. With limited seating, general admission costs $20, though it is free for chamber members and guests. For more information, contact the chamber at 623-932-2260 or info@ southwestvalleychamber.org.

Tolleson looking to improve this season
By Evan Desai
Tolleson Union High School has received plenty of press, thanks to senior receiver Andre Johnson, who committed to play for ASU upon graduation. However, there is plenty more to the team. The team went 5-5 last season, but center Randy Babchuk, who, like Johnson, has been a varsity player since his sophomore year, has high hopes. The Wolverines kick off the season August 24 against Agua Fria at home. “As a leader of the line, I make sure everyone’s in check, make sure everyone’s doing the right thing and getting it done,” Babchuk said. He added he feels the Wolverines have a strong coaching staff and players who will listen to him. “Our coaching staff is pretty good,” Babchuk said. “They expect the best from us and that’s all they’re going to get from us.” The team is looking to bag a regional championship this season, something the school has not done since 1984. “That’s something we really want to put on the map this year,” said head
coach Jason Wilke. Consistency is the key to Tolleson’s success. “Last year we were a ‘peak-and-valley’-type team,” Wilke said. “When we were playing well, we could beat anyone. When we weren’t playing well, we weren’t very good. So obviously, consistency is a big thing we’ve worked on since spring ball and all the summer, and going into practice here now.” Wilke said he’s excited for the community to watch the team play. “We do have quite a few seniors; quality guys who made plays as juniors who we’re expecting to make big plays as seniors,” Wilke said. “It should be exciting with all our athletes. Defensively, we’re going to play fast. We’re going to be physical, and we’re going to get to the ball. Special teams are something we spend a lot of time on and those win us games. So, if you come to a game, it should be exciting and good quality hard-nosed football.”

Sanders eager for opportunity at Linfield College By Griffin Fabits versus the 56.8 YPG he posted his junior season. “A lot of small schools were looking at me, but my senior season probably helped me the most. I had no offers (last year),” he said. To Sanders’ surprise, Linfield expressed interest first. “They made me feel like I’m worth something, like I’m not just a number in a system.” It wasn’t a surprise that a college was finally recruiting Sanders. It was more of who was recruiting him that really caught his attention. The Wildcats are coming off a 2017 season in which they went 9-2. They’ve posted a winning record in every year since their inaugural season in 1998. Just five years ago, Sanders, who was a baseball player before an injury, stumbled upon football because it was a way to meet new friends in his first year at Trivium Prep. “I was just playing football to meet new people at my new school, kind of get the anger out because I wasn’t really happy about going to a new school,” he said. “Then, it just kind of happened. I was like, ‘You know what? I’m OK at football so let’s just keep going with this.’” Now, he said, he’s the first athlete from Trivium Prep to play in college, on a mission to make an impression as a freshman in McMinnville. Perhaps the notion of being overshadowed because of a small high school in which he played at will serve as an extra dose of motivation. “I think I’ll show up and give them something that’s more than what they recruited.”
Adan Sanders had a hunch that he might be on to something in his newfound football career in just his sophomore year of high school. All it took was two interceptions that were returned for touchdowns in one season, but there was a slight dilemma that came with it: Sanders was doing this all with a broken arm for the Trivium Preparatory Academy Knights out of Goodyear. While playing through the injury, it was the first time he realized he was a pretty good football player. Maybe, he thought, he was good enough to continue to play in college. After a strong senior season with the Knights, Sanders announced his commitment to Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon, to play Division III football. The 6-foot-2 wide receiver entered his senior campaign with a bit of a chip on his shoulder. For starters, he had no offers to play in college after a junior season in which he found the end zone seven times in eight games, establishing himself as a catalyst for the Knights’ offense. Second, the high school sports environment may have been a bit of a hindrance in the recruiting process. They play eight-man football due to Trivium Prep’s smaller enrollment, which doesn’t necessarily bode well for athletes looking to play at the next level. But Sanders persisted and let his play speak for himself. He racked up 20 touchdowns while playing both sides of the ball in his final year with the Knights. On offense, he hauled in 47 receptions for 738 yards. He averaged 82 yards per game

Ford Fusion hybrid perfect for families By C.A. Haire
Ford has hinted it would like to get out of the car business to make more trucks and SUVs. If so, it would be a shame to get rid of the Fusion. Not only is it one of the better sedans on the road, but it offers a wide range of engine choices for any driving need. Offerings include a 2.5-liter base, a 1.5 turbo, 2.0 turbo, 2.7 turbo, and 2.0 hybrid like we had. It puts out 188 horsepower and is rated at 43 mpg city, 41 mpg highway and 42 overall. Along with flexible engine choices come flexible prices. The base cost is about $22K, with a fully loaded Fusion reaching about $47K. This was a high-end Platinum version, so it came equipped with all luxury items, and a $39K tab. Aside from the drivetrain under the hood, this hybrid is a little different from the other Fusion variations. You are getting a full-size car that seats five,
has a roomy trunk and is a very comfortable ride. This is a good choice for long highway trips, though we were not happy to find there is no spare tire to save weight. It would be a good idea to put one in the trunk before embarking on a long trip. We test drove this car in August during one of the worst heatwaves in history, and it affected real world fuel economy. After driving 425 miles, we observed 38 mpg on long highway trips. With 60 percent freeway and 40 percent city commuting, the car ended with an average of 34 mpg. By The hybrid Ford Fusion is a good choice for long highway drives. (Photo courtesy Ford Motor Co.) comparison, another Fusion drove earlier with the 2.0 turbo engine sedan. Just be sure to pick the engine hybrid we drove back in coolthat will best serve your requirements. er December weather got 36/40 mpg, that showed a 25 mpg average. And make sure the dealer supplies Overall, the Fusion is a good choice with 38 average. Both figures are better than the non-hybrid Fusion we for those seeking a practical family you with a spare tire.

Boot Camp members trade squats for school supplies By Carrie Snider
Employees and members of Fit Body Boot Camp Litchfield Park recently helped area classrooms by raising $1,000 for school supplies. Margherita Riello, who co-owns the studio with fiancé/former pro football player Michael Bell, said they chose to raise money for back-to-school supplies because several of their members are teachers who work in lower-income districts. Recently, Riello and other trainers from Fit Body Boot Camp, manned with shopping lists, hit stores and purchased more than they planned. Backto-school time has been sweeter for the teachers and students. “It was a lot of fun,” she said. “It was a simple gesture to help others.” Fitness and community involvement are huge passions for Fit Body Boot Camp’s owners. Originally from Italy, Riello is a certified ISSA trainer, body transformation expert and a precision nutrition certified coach.

sonal trainers did thousands of squats, but it was all for a good cause. Riello said Fit Body members do not judge; everyone is helpful and supportive. “We love to help people reach their
fitness goals,” Riello said. Their boot camp is specific 30-minute high-intensity workouts in small group settings. Riello and Bell were attracted to the business because of its community involvement. “There really is a support system here,” Riello explained. Many come into the studio with specific weight-loss goals and want to have a healthier lifestyle. “We spend time talking about their habits, how much they want to lose, how often they’ll need to work out, and meal plans,” she said. Because of the boot camp instruction style, many members get to know each other and cheer them on. Even the trainers are encouraged. “I love fitness, but I have days where I need someone to push me,” Riello said. Fit Body Boot Camp 4850 N.

Goodyear Avon rep showcased in new campaign By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
With three children, Rebecca Luedemann doesn’t get too many chances to have her hair and makeup done once, let alone two days in a row. But the Goodyear woman was dolled up during photo shoots in New York City for Avon’s Campaign 19, which featured company representatives as models in the catalog that launched August 21. “It was such an exciting experience,” Luedemann said. “We had such a blast. In between shoots, the other Avon representatives and I were laughing and sharing tips. We’ve remained friends. We have video calls.” Luedemann landed a spot in the campaign in recognition of her inspiring story and achievements with the business. Dabbling in Avon since college at New Mexico State University, Luedemann enjoyed the discounts and used the opportunity as a side hustle for extra cash. Fast forward several years later, Luedemann left the public relations world behind to be a stay-at-home mom. She thought of Avon again, but
this time as a business. That was nine years and three children later. “Avon has become very focused on its representatives,” said Luedemann, who studied journalism with an emphasis in public relations and sports marketing at New Mexico State. “They wanted to celebrate that. They reached out to a number of us and said they were working on a ‘secret project.’ We received invitations to go to New York City.” Luedemann, married to educator Thom Luedemann, recruited her mother to watch their children so she could celebrate her career. “Mommy is my job, but beauty is my business,” Luedemann said. The campaign was unveiled at Avon’s annual RepFest conference with 6,000 Avon representatives in Columbus, Ohio, from July 27 to July 29. All the Avon representatives featured in the new catalog stood on stage in front of thousands of their peers to a standing ovation. “Avon representatives are always

front and center at everything we do, and we are honored to give them the spotlight they deserve with this latest campaign,” said Scott White, CEO at New Avon LLC. “With incredible, diverse stories of success, Avon is thrilled to applaud these hard-working role models and their unique journeys.” Luedemann said the “big reveal” was emotional. “They had a big reveal with a musical production in front of thousands of Avon representatives,” she said. “It was an emotional moment, and a moment filled with pride.

Miss Native American to be crowned this week By Aliyah Chavez
The Miss Native American USA Scholarship Pageant will crown a new titleholder on Friday, August 24, at the Tempe Center for the Arts. The pageant is a national competition intended for Native American females between the ages of 18 and 27, who are not married and have no dependents. This year’s pageant has nine contestants from Arizona, Florida, Oklahoma, Montana, North Carolina and Utah. Two contestants from Arizona call Flagstaff and Kayenta home. The organization, well known in the Native American pageant world, boasts more than 10,000 likes on Facebook and annually draws contestants from states ranging from Alaska to Florida. All contestants will compete in five categories that include a backstage interview, evening wear, traditional wear, an on-stage public speaking question and a talent. Additionally, all contestants are required to choose a platform, an issue
they are passionate about that affects their community. These platforms, also known as themes, fall in line with the MNAUSA mission statement of “encouraging Native American women to achieve their personal goals, build character, enhance their self-esteem and build leadership skills,” said CEO and founder Tashina Atine. “I think pageantry overall is something that helps promote volunteerism and goodwill services,” Atine said. “I believe a lot of misconception of pageantry is that it is just a beauty pageant. I believe these contestants compete for a greater purpose. It’s important that our contestants realize our mission as an organization.” Founded in 2001, the pageant has been a stepping stone for many Native American females to create a lasting legacy for future generations. “We have younger generations of women looking to older generations.
The 2017 contestants applaud the current titleholder, Autumn Rose Williams of the Shinnecock Nation from Long Island, New York. (Photo courtesy MNAUSA/Tiffani Potter)
It’s important for us to create platforms and role models so younger people can look up to them,” Atine said. This year’s event will be hosted by former Miss Indian World Danielle Ta’Sheena Finn, a speaker, activist and artist who recently graduated from ASU’s Sandra Day O’Connor School of Law.

Instructor Tina Clark founded the group three years ago with eight members. This semester there are 14 so far. “We need more people,” said Edie Costa, a choir member for three semesters. “We want to grow from last year. We were limited on male voices and limited on tenors. It’s a fun thing to do.” The Community Choir has performed at Arizona Diamondbacks games and Litchfield Park Christmas in the Park.

She’s hoping to inspire others to join. “We need more younger folks, too,” she added. “If anybody likes to sing, they should really consider it. Tina is a good director.” Singers can register by calling 623935-8888, emailing marcia.ford@estrellamountain.edu or with Clark the first day of rehearsal. “I think it would be nice to get the word out,” Costa said. “It’s open for young folks and seniors.

Litchfield Park teen starring in ‘Newsies’ By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
When Mia Johnson saw Newsies for the first time, she knew she had to be a part of it. Now the Millennium High School senior is starring in the Valley Youth Theatre’s rendition of Newsies as Medda Larkson, a vaudeville performer and owner of Irving Hall through August 26 at the Herberger Theater in Phoenix. This is her first role with VYT, which is known for alumni like Emma Stone. “I saw Newsies before I was in it,” said the Litchfield Park resident. “I didn’t think I’d get the chance to be in it. It’s such a challenging show with all the emotion. “I’m really blessed to be a part of it. I always loved the storyline: the music and the powerful meaning behind the majority of the lyrics.” Set in turn-of-the century New York City, Newsies tells the tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of teenaged “newsies.” When publishers raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike. Based on the 1992 motion picture and inspired by a true story, Newsies features the songs “Carrying the Banner,” “Seize the Day” and “Santa Fe.” Larkson was

She recently traveled to Australia to perform at the Sydney Opera House. “It was phenomenal,” she said. “We were there for quite a while. We did a lot of sightseeing and performed at other places out there. We interacted with the community, too, so we visited host families with whom we had been communicating.” Mia has one goal in mind for her future. “I want to be a performer like Michael Jackson,” she said. “I want to be able to sing while doing all the moves on stage. I love how original he was. I love the message he wanted to get across.” Mia Johnson, shown here starring in Newsies, strives to be an entertainer like Michael Jackson. (Photo by Laura Durant)
