The Voice of the West Valley for 36 years

Buckeye Union welcomes new superintendent BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

n Dr. Steve Bebee’s 27-year career, he has served in myriad education roles. Now, he’s the new superintendent for the Buckeye Union High School District. “I am extremely excited to be joining the Buckeye Union High School District,” Bebee said. “Having grown up in Arizona myself, being in the educational realm for the last 27 years, getting the opportunity to join this district and to be a part of it, it’s one of the most exciting things that’s happened to me in my career.” While previously serving as principal at Cactus Shadows High School, Bebee’s school received the A+ School of Excellence distinction from the Arizona Educational Foundation twice and was rated an “A” school by the Arizona Department of Education. The Arizona School Administrators Association honored Bebee in 2015 for having the Outstanding Dissertation of the Year and again in 2017 as the Distin-

ix people were arrested in Peoria, Glendale and Yuma for kidnapping and beating a 20-year-old pregnant family member after years of threats, Peoria police said.

Goodyear, Tolleson, Avondale, Phoenix, Peoria and Yuma police departments worked together to arrest the suspects. Those arrested were: • Zahraa Alfartousi: kidnapping (domestic violence), aggravated robbery, threats, disorderly conduct.

• Yaser Alfartousi: kidnapping (domestic violence), aggravated robbery, disorderly conduct (domestic violence). • Fares Alfartousi: kidnapping (domestic violence), aggravated robbery, disorderly con-

The multijurisdictional investigation involves multiple crimes including kidnapping and aggravated assault in the last two years. In May, Peoria police received a call from a man’s family saying his pregnant girlfriend’s family was threatening him. They said they would kidnap a young family member if the girlfriend wasn’t returned. Peoria detectives said the pregnant woman, her boyfriend and his family filed more than 20 police reports with various Arizona police agencies. The reports ranged from complaints of disorderly conduct and harassment to an escalation of aggravated assault and kidnapping. The victim’s brother, Bashir, was arrested by the Yuma Police Department

and booked in March for attempting to kidnap the victim. According to the Yuma police report, the victim said her brother kidnapped her and planned to bring her back to her family, who would have likely killed her. Peoria detectives additionally learned of a kidnapping on Aug. 18 in Avondale. In this incident, the victim’s family kidnapped her from a parking lot as she arrived at a doctor’s appointment. Ali, Yaser, Zahraa, Souad and Fares pulled the victim into a vehicle and punched her in the stomach. Two witnesses in the parking lot helped her escape. On Aug. 26, the Peoria Police Department served three search warrants at two Peoria homes and a Glendale apartment. The victim’s parents and siblings were arrested and were booked into jail. The charges may be amended, according to Peoria police. Peoria police are encouraging those with any information regarding this case to contact Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.

I was able to take a little bit from all those experiences to kind of develop my own leadership philosophy and my own leadership style.” The Buckeye Union High School community encompasses approximately 1,200 square miles and serves about 4,700 students grades 9 to 12. The Buckeye Union High School District was founded in 1921 and serves the rapidly growing cities of Buckeye, a portion of Goodyear, and other surrounding areas. While Bebee said there are many elements of his new role as superintendent that excite him, it’s the growth of the city and district that he said he looks forward to being a part of. “So many times in education — and I spent 10 years in Cave Creek — dealing with declining enrollments. This district has not. I will never see a declining enrollment in my career, the rest of my career now. I think this district is going to take off,” Beebee said. “That’s exciting to be able to expand upon the good things that are already happening in our district and take them a little further, to reach deeper and to meet the needs of more kids.” Buckeye’s growth, however exciting it may be, Bebee admitted will come with its own challenges. “Trying to stay in front of the growth, unfortunately with school funding and working through the school facilities board, there are formulas and a number of kids that we have to obtain before we will be given permission to build another school. That’s going to have some challenges to try to navigate those waters for the kids that are going to come in before we can continue to expand and build other schools, to continue to meet the needs of this growing, not only Buckeye but Goodyear. Watching both of them take off, it’s pretty exciting,” Bebee said. Currently, there are three comprehensive high schools and a Learning Center within BUHSD. Buckeye Union High School was founded in

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 1, 2021

1921. Eighty years later, Estrella Foothills High School opened in 2001, Youngker High School in 2007 and the Learning Center in 2011. BUHSD receives students from the Arlington, Buckeye, Liberty and Palo Verde elementary school districts. The district’s primary is to develop students who think critically; apply knowledge at high levels; and use technology to access, evaluate and communicate information. As the new superintendent, Bebee has a crucial role in helping the students and staff within the district accomplish these goals. “It is my job as superintendent to serve the parents, the students and the employees of this district,” he said. “I’m new to Buckeye. I’m also new to the Buckeye area, so what I’ve been trying to do right now is to make those connections and meet those people in our community that are necessary for me to gain the support that we’re going to need throughout this process. “Trying to get out in front of them, trying to be transparent with our parents and our student population to kind of know where we are, what’s coming and then to really formulate committees and learn from stakeholders on making sure that we’re continuing to meet the needs of our students and then what steps we need to take to continue to meet them in the future as we as we continue to grow and expand.” As the school year is underway, Bebee said he’s looking forward to a year where students have found a new respect and love for school after the pandemic took their ability to attend classes in person. “So many times, we take things a little differently, and kids feel like they have to go to school,” Bebee said. “But after last year, the shutdown, the pandemic and so many kids being out of school, I think this year we are embracing the fact that kids get to go to school again. And they’re back here. It’s been so exciting to see so many kids decide to return to school in person and want to be back in school and to have those human interactions that we know are so important for kids’ learning and development.”

Avondale Boulevard lights up BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

otorists driving the stretch of Avondale Boulevard at night from Interstate 10 to Van Buren Street will find their commute a little more colorful. The city’s recently completed median landscape improvements along Avondale Boulevard include LED, color-changing lights on 112 new trees, including 34 palm trees. Started in September 2020 and completed in April, the $854,000 median improvement project was intended to enhance aesthetics along the key gateway corridor south of the freeway, leading to The BLVD, a mixed-use planned area development that’s taking shape. Avondale Boulevard is also the main corridor that leads to Phoenix Raceway, home to two NASCAR weekends annually, including the NASCAR Championship Weekend in the fall. The median is adorned with large palm trees and other vegetation; large rocks; raised, rusted-metal flower beds filled with desert-flowering plants; and flowers that are planted to form the shape of Avondale’s “Avi” brand symbol. The LED lights on the trees will stay on from dusk till dawn and can be programmed to change color depending on the season, holidays or commemorations. Adding to the new features in the median is a public art heart sculpture, located just south of the freeway, across

from the MyPlace Hotel. The sculpture, a 7-foot, bright-red fabricated heart with several smaller steel-mesh hearts attached to it, provides a burst of color to the median during the day and lights up at night for an even more intense experience.

Buckeye native serves in U.S. Navy’s ‘Silent Service’ BY RICK BURKE

Navy Office of Community Outreach

Buckeye native is serving in the U.S. Navy aboard USS New Hampshire, one of the world’s most advanced nuclear-powered submarines. Petty Officer 3rd Class Hernan Hernandez, a 2011 Verrado High School graduate, joined the Navy two years ago. “I joined to have career opportunities and to travel,” Hernandez said. “I’m happy to have a supportive wife who also wants to see the world.” According to Hernandez, the values required to succeed in the military are similar to those found in Buckeye. “I learned to keep your head down and work through it, to stay humble, and effort will always help you succeed,” Hernandez said. Fast, maneuverable and technically advanced, submarines are some of the most versatile ships in the Navy, capable of silently conducting a variety of missions around the world. There are three basic types of subma-

rines: fast attack submarines (SSN), ballistic missile submarines (SSBN) and guided-missile submarines (SSGN). Fast attack submarines are designed to hunt down and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships; strike targets ashore with cruise missiles; carry and deliver Navy SEALs; carry out intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions; and engage in mine warfare. Their primary tactical advantage is stealth, operating undetected under the sea for long periods of time. The Navy’s ballistic-missile submarines, often referred to as “boomers,” serve as a strategic deterrent by providing an undetectable platform for submarine-launched ballistic missiles. SSBNs are designed specifically for stealth, extended patrols and the precise delivery of missiles. Their design allows the submarines to operate for 15 or more years between major overhauls. Guided-missile submarines provide the Navy with unprecedented strike and special operation mission capabili-

ties from a stealthy, clandestine platform. Armed with tactical missiles and equipped with superior communications capabilities, SSGNs are capable of directly supporting combatant commander’s strike and Special Operations Forces requirements. Each SSGN can carry 154 Tomahawk cruise missiles, plus a complement of heavyweight torpedoes to be fired through four torpedo tubes. Serving in the Navy means Hernandez is part of a world that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Petty Officer 3rd Class Hernan Hernandez is proud Strategy. his supportive wife.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

JUDGE’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What’s up with Yuma and Cotton? Editor: It’s always exciting to read the Business Briefs and learn about the continued business development that’s growing here in Goodyear. Everywhere in Goodyear, new businesses are popping up. Everywhere, it seems, except at the corner of Yuma and Cotton, where the two large half-empty shopping centers are on the verge of stagnation. Oh sure, the new KFC was appreciated, and the recent addition of a Filiberto’s was great, in case the drive-thru lines at the already-existing Frederico’s and Taco Bell are too busy. And I’m sure everyone in this part of Goodyear is anxiously awaiting the coming grand opening of a drive-thru car wash. Look, I get the idea that the priority of the city right now is working toward the concept of a city center/ prime business corridor — Estrella Parkway to Litchfield, McDowell to Yuma, bracketed by the new Goodyear Recreation Center to the south and the coming Goodyear City Hall to the north. I get it, and I’m sure every meeting with every business that is looking to come to Goodyear is shown every available square inch of open space in that zone. And then the city can turn around and package and highlight it all in marketing pieces and on their website and promote Goodyear to the world as an exciting, thriving community. Understood. At the same time, more and more homes are now being built in the western part of Goodyear, west of Cotton. Multifamily homes, single-family homes, smaller homes for lease: We’re certainly not lacking in the building of

any of these. They’re all done, or in development, or coming soon, and all of us are pouring into and out of the area right past those same half-empty shopping centers to get onto the freeway to get anything done. No drug store. No hardware store. No gas station. No dry cleaners. Heck, there are drive-thru coffee places everywhere. Except here. You’re telling me that businesses are seeing the sheer amount of daily traffic coming and going in this area and are saying, “Nah, that’s not for us.” Maybe the Goodyear master plan really is to drive every resident over to Estrella Parkway to get anything done. Well, maybe in a decade, when the priority part of Goodyear is complete, maybe, just maybe, then we’ll get, say, a nice sit-down family restaurant. In the meantime, as I said, it was exciting to read in the most recent Business Briefs about the latest new business to expand into Goodyear at the corner of Estrella Parkway and Van Buren. When it’s open, I’ll be sure to hop on the freeway and come check it out. Bruce Battle Goodyear (West)

Hopes and dreams

Editor: I heard someone say capitalism is not easy. They are right when you think about it. The beauty of our county is capitalism has hopes and dreams built right into it. It’s a personal achievement. Voting the right president into office is not easy, but it is our personal business. No one has the right to dictate who you should vote for. We have survived bad presidents, and we will again. What we won’t survive is thugs

telling us how we should vote. That is what happens in countries that you don’t want to live in. Vickie J. Chelini Buckeye

Shame on you

Editor: Shame on the American Association of Senior Citizens, the 60 Plus Association and One Nation America. These three groups are trying to scare seniors by telling them that allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices would limit access to their drugs. False. Medicaid and the VA have negotiated lower drug prices with “Big Pharma” for years. Both pass along the savings to patients, while Medicare patients pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world. Who’s behind these false/misleading ads? The 60 Plus Association is affiliated with the Koch brothers and, according to PR Watch, advocates for big corpo-

OPINION

Biden ‘finishing the job’ for his predecessor

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 1, 2021

BY J.D. HAYWORTH

West Valley View Columnist

arack Obama did not go gently into that good presidential retirement. While most of his predecessors departed once their “lease” at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue expired, Mr. Obama decided to remain. Now with his “No. 2” elevated to “No. 1,” the former president sticks around with an up-close view and an important role in Joe Biden “finishing the job,” as Mr. Obama put it in an interview with the New York Times. Sympathetic journalists take that to mean that the 46th president will work to complete the progressive policy goals envisioned by the 44th. Americans with a different political point of view fear the expression conveys a simpler and more sinister goal: the end of the USA as a democratic re-

public. While his immediate successor, Donald Trump, was widely viewed as “disruptor-in-chief,” it’s worth recalling that the Barack Obama of 2008 routinely pledged on the campaign trail to “fundamentally change America as we know it.” In many ways, he succeeded. From the enactment of Obamacare to the politicization of our military and intelligence apparatus, and on through the exploitation of racial disharmony, our 44th president lit long, slow fuses … now set to detonate. How does Mr. Obama avoid responsibility? Simple. He employs euphemisms and administers “verbal tranquilizers.” Though his mask may slip occasionally, such an occurrence is usually explained away by an infatuated press corps. A recent example of Obama speaking softly and sticking it to Republicans can be found in his remarks to the American Library Association in

late June. There, he was asked about his biggest concern for the future and responded this way: “The degree to which misinformation is now disseminated at warp speed, in coordinated ways that we haven’t seen before.” The former president then expounded on his “concern” by quickly adding a political dimension: “And that the guardrails I thought were in place around many of our democratic institutions really depend upon the two parties agreeing to those ground rules, those guardrails. And that one of them right now doesn’t seem as connected to them.” Call it “accusation by insinuation and omission,” preceded by “indictment through redefinition.” All of it delivered in a calm, “thoughtful” manner. Translated into conservative context, Mr. Obama is basically saying this: “Let’s call investigative reports and assertions from the right ‘misinformation’ so that they can be immediately discredited. “Moreover, Republicans need to know their place! They need to return to the passive, polite people they used to be, accepting election irregularities for the ‘greater good,’ which of course keeps our side in power.” The left has made it a priority to po-

liticize the pandemic; that continues with the use of government funds following the “Obama Directive.” Check out this headline from the broadcasting trade journal Radio Ink in its Aug. 19 edition: “CPB Targets COVID Misinformation.” “The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is awarding $275,000 in emergency grants to public media stations to address COVID-19 misinformation in their communities,” the article’s lead sentence reads. While $275,000 is a pittance compared to the trillions the left intends to spend, it does speak volumes about the way government-financed radio and TV stations take their cues from the Democrat playbook. Of course, 10 days before those government grants were announced, Barack Obama celebrated his 60th birthday with a lavish party on his $12 million, 29-acre Martha’s Vineyard Estate. Joe Biden was not invited; presumably, he was focused on ”finishing the job.”

Nonmaskers are causing a crisis

to these life-saving medications has brought me, I feel obligated to speak out against Congress’ obsession with repealing a key provision in the Medicare Part D program that protects access to medicines and coverage for our most vulnerable. By allowing the government to try to pinch pennies and save money, we are sacrificing access to the medicines we need the most for the vulnerable in our community. I urge our lawmakers in D.C. to stand for Arizonans and stop this attack on our access to life-saving medicines. Cecilia Duran Buckeye

Editor: Gov. Doug Ducey says Biden is weak on COVID-19. Bull! His — as well as other governors’ — actions of passing laws and threatening financial loss is helping to spread the virus. Like most Republicans, he won’t follow science and blames everyone else, including the media, for stating facts. Simply getting a free vaccination and wearing masks will help. Science proves it. Why dispute those facts? Republicans turned this political for their own gain. They are rousing up their base so 24 will be a success for

Arizonans deserve better than this proposal WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 1, 2021

BY STATE REP. RICHARD ANDRADE Guest Columnist

ur health care system may not be perfect, but over the years we have made great strides to provide more Americans with the coverage they need and connect them to the quality care and services they deserve. Passage of the Affordable Care Act has been critical to this evolution of health care in America, and Congress should continue strengthening and supporting the law by expanding upon the aspects that work well while examining parts that don’t. What federal lawmakers do not need to do, however, is experiment with massively expensive, government-run health care systems like the public option, Medicare for All, or the latest proposal out of Washington, D.C. Medicare X. Call it what you will, these

Letters...continued from page 12 them. Yet they accuse everyone else of being politically biased. If Biden were a Republican, they would support his efforts! They conveniently try to distract by using other issues to say Biden isn’t keeping us safe. Your actions are not keeping us safe! Republicans spread lies, misinformation and scare tactics — not scientifically based facts. Your rights end when they infringe on others. Not wearing masks and not getting vaccinated is causing a health crisis. That’s where your rights end and ours begin. Mike Getz Goodyear

Time to think about victory, not equity

Editor: We have seen how passionate Gen. Mark Milley is concerning the training of troops in understanding white rage, white supremacy and equity outcome.

kinds of government-controlled health care systems could hit Arizona families with higher taxes while limiting choice and patient access to care. Medicare X is little more than the public option with a new name and, as with previous public option proposals, it’s probably going to come with a jaw-dropping price tag — likely in the hundreds of billions of dollars. What will that mean for the economy, jobs, and American workers and families? Almost certainly slowed growth, billions in new taxes and lost wages, and unnecessary financial pressures on our already fragile health care system. I have heard firsthand from my constituents and the communities I represent about the tremendous economic hardships Arizonans are facing right now due to the one-two punch of the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent economic downturn. Now is not the time to go around playing with our health care system and expecting I sure hope this fervor transfers over to battle readiness and preparedness. I don’t think this is the time to worry about equity. Thinking about “victory” is appropriate here. Get out the thousands who are now facing the Taliban’s rage. Lynne Cole Goodyear

hard-working families to pick up the tab. That is particularly true given the detrimental impact a public option system could have on America’s health care landscape. Hospitals here in Arizona and across the country have been hammered by the pandemic and, according recent studies, the public option could make their financial woes even worse. We should be doing everything we can to strengthen and support our national health care infrastructure, not undermine it by imposing new economic hardships on already at-risk hospitals and providers. That means federal lawmakers should work together to pass policies that address the No. 1 issue most Americans have with their health care: increasing costs. Unfortunately, not only does the public option fail to do that, but it could undermine access and the very hospitals, clinics and other health care facilities our communities rely on. Moreover, attempting to address

America’s health care concerns by imposing a public option system is not what most Americans want to see from their elected officials. In fact, a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll finds broad support among the American public for the current health care system. Health care is one of the most important rights we as Americans have, and elected officials at every level of government — from municipal to federal — have a responsibility to ensure access to affordable, high-quality, comprehensive care for everyone who needs it. Congress should do this by working together to strengthen and improve upon the ACA — not attempting to create a new, expensive health care system that could increase taxes on hard-working families and weaken our health care community.

Avondale’s StaffNow deemed a fast-growing company BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

vondale-headquartered StaffNow has ranked No. 475 on the 2021 Inc. Magazine’s 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most successful independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia and many other well-known names had their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. “I was blown away,” said Greg Johnson, StaffNow’s chief executive officer. “We were happy just to be in the 5000, but to get into the top 500, which from a legacy perspective is a pretty big deal, I was shocked but really greatly humbled and appreciative for my team, because

I’ve got a great group of folks and they’re working really hard; so it’s awesome to see that effort being acknowledged.” StaffNow is a full-service agency created to unite people with workplaces. Johnson refers to the business as a “recruiting team.” “Especially for small businesses who don’t have a dedicated HR or recruiting staff, we’re that replacement because talent matters. And in this world, it really matters,” Johnson said. “As these businesses grow, that No. 1 issue to have right now is talent, and us being that recruiter to help them attract talent has really been pretty positive for us and for them.” With over 30 years of leadership experience, StaffNow services clients all over the country, including branch offices in Tempe and Davenport, Iowa, as well as

satellite locations in California, Texas, Ohio and Illinois. StaffNow’s three-year revenue growth is 1,012%, almost double the average rate of the 5,000 businesses on the list. Johnson said the secret behind StaffNow’s success isn’t rocket science, as he acknowledges a strong and passionate team is the key. “We care about people,” he said. “We’re passionate about our internal employees, our external people, all those typical things. But we also are strategic about our business. We started focusing on supply chain and e-commerce about two and a half years ago, and I think that pivot to that has been huge for us.” Additionally, Johnson said his business is successful because of the area’s growth. “Arizona, especially the West Valley, has continued to grow, and we’ve taken those relationships and grown with our clients throughout the country. And so just having that mindset obtained in the commitment, following in a marketplace that’s growing, it’s just a good combination,” he said. A Litchfield Park resident, Johnson said the pandemic threw his business a curveball, but he used it as an opportunity to continue to grow. “We planned for an opportunity for the last two years. We kept cash very low. We kept overhead very low. And then

when COVID happened, we were in that essential footprint and I knew it was just time to grow,” he said. Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc., emphasized the feat of making the list, acknowledging businesses’ ability to do so during a pandemic is even more impressive. “The 2021 Inc. 5000 list feels like one of the most important rosters of companies ever compiled,” Omelianuk said. “Building one of the fastest-growing companies in America in any year is a remarkable achievement. Building one in the crisis we’ve lived through is just plain amazing. This kind of accomplishment comes with hard work, smart pivots, great leadership and the help of a whole lot of people.” Moving forward, Johnson said he and his team do not intend to slow down. He’s looking forward to seeing his revenue and client numbers increase. “The future is infinite in regard to how we can grow,” he said. “We’ll stay headquartered in Avondale, but now we’re going to expand geographically, so we’re looking for similar models that Phoenix metro bears and we’re leveraging our relationships, and so we’ll grow. Texas is coming up in January. We’re already in Davenport, Iowa. We’re looking at Atlanta, so we’ll just mirror what we’ve done but just expand our footprint.” For more information on StaffNow, visit staffnowjobs.com.

Business Briefcase

BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

ello and welcome back to Business Briefcase! This week we’re going to take a look at a popular corporation opening two locations in Goodyear, as well as a small business that debuted this month. Have questions about a development or a building under construction? As always, feel free to ask us. Email lserrato@timespublications.com.

Waffletto Location: 406 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 208 As large corporations and small businesses continue to open in the West Valley, Goodyear is welcoming another family-owned business, Waffletto. Owner Brenda Lugo wants to provide a memorable and exceptional dining experience. She does so with the help of her dedicated employees, who serve made-from-scratch meals.

With a menu filled with sweet and savory waffle options, Waffletto also offers customers a smoothie made with natural products, a coffee-based drink created with fresh coffee beans, or a variety of espressos, iced coffees, frappes or iced tea. Waffles are its forte, but there’s nothing traditional about its offerings. Customers can add a variety of toppings and sides to pair with their waffle, including berries, ham, egg and cheese, or Nutella. Waffletto can also satisfy that hunger craving for lunch or dinner with the chicken and pesto waffle, or an apple cranberry or strawberry pecan salad. Of course, don’t forget to treat yourself to a sweet treat for dessert with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or Waffletto’s classic ice cream parfait. For more information or a look at the full menu, visit waffletto.com.

The next time you’re looking for a coffee or a quick snack on the go, make sure to check out these two new Starbucks locations in Goodyear. Question from reader: I saw the Babbo sign added to the building going up next to the Harley-Davidson store. Do you know when that is supposed to open? Answer: Although construction on Babbo Italian Eatery was delayed in 2019, Goodyear residents can expect to see the restaurant open by the end of

summer. According to a press release, the Goodyear location will seat 230 people. The restaurant will feature a full bar, modern décor, chandeliers, artwork and dark blue booths. The Goodyear location will resemble the store in Scottsdale. Be sure to keep an eye out for Babbo’s opening day and take advantage of the popular $6.99 spaghetti and meatballs special on Mondays and Tuesdays. The menu will feature appetizers, protein bowls, pizza, pasta, calzones, salads, sandwiches and desserts.

Verrado looking forward after 3-5 season WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 1, 2021

BY KEATON MALLORY

West Valley View Staff Writer

rom COVID-19 restrictions to injuries, Verrado High School’s football team endured a rough season last year. The players ended on a 3-5 note, and their head coach resigned in June. After a brief interim coach, Buckeye native Dustin Johnson took over on short notice. The team has witnessed early struggles, but it is adapting and preparing itself for the start of the season on Friday, Sept. 3. “We immediately went to camp and got a lot done, but even still we are constantly needing to add new aspects of what we do,’’ Johnson said. “We have come leaps and bounds, and all the coaches on my staff have done an incredible job of preparing for the future games.” Johnson maintained the Verrado staff while bringing along his own coaches with extensive football backgrounds, such as John Castellanos and Burt Burns, his offensive and defensive coordinators, respectively.

Johnson was immediately intrigued by the idea of coaching a hometown team because of the “amazing community of players and parents.” Johnson said he is very excited to see the growth of the program on and off the field. On first impression, he could see the team wanted to be winners and know what they need to do to accomplish that. “They understood that it took hard work and dedication,” Johnson said. Johnson said the Verrado Vipers’ losing record does not reflect their talent. Many names came to mind for Johnson, but three emerged — wide receiver and defensive back Colin Tibbs, quarterback Erick Santiago and linebacker Nathan Bilski. Johnson praised these talented players on their abilities and their work ethics. Santiago is looking forward to this season. He spent the offseason working with Castellanos on reading defenses, which is integral for a quarterback to perform at a high level. “I was struggling with trying to read defenses at first, but working with Coach C has helped a lot,” Santiago said.

After a season that lacked fans, Santiago is excited about the high-energy atmosphere this year. He is also excited because of the atmosphere that every high school football player missed last season. “All of the fans will be back. It was rough not having a normal season last year, so it’ll be nice to have a normal season again,” Santiago said. Santiago said the team and the new

coaches are gelling nicely. The players are doing all they can to prepare, no matter the circumstances. With the season starting this Friday against Notre Dame Prep at home, Johnson doesn’t plan to rush into things. “We take things one rep at a time,” Johnson said. “We don’t look ahead from anything other than what is right in front of our face, whether that’s our next opponent, our next practice or our next play.”

Entrepreneurs hope to raise customers’ self-esteem

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

orenzo Carson was working as a plumber when he met Taqee Zareef on a job in the Bay Area. Carson, of Avondale, wished he could spend more time at home with his family, as plumbing is a 24/7 job. He found Zareef felt he same. In February, the duo took a leap of faith and invested in CG Essentials, a selfcare company that they say improves self-confidence. It launched in April. “We’re big on family,” Carson said. “Back when we were working as plumbers, it was so time consuming. We want to do well and make money and be comfortable, but not at the expense of spending time with our kids and families. “We have always been clean-cut men, and putting these grooming kits together is right up our alley.” Zareef said CG Essentials’ products

are rare in that men do not usually see grooming kits just for them. Products range from a $4.49 Dip’N Du-Rag to a $90 Boss Bundle, a collection of men’s grooming products on CG Essentials’ website. Perfume, edge control, beauty blenders and cuticle oil are among the popular products for women. Their products are even named after their children to show their commitment to building a more splendid future — not only for their children but also for the Black community. For instance, some of their products are named Iyana’s Edge Control, Love Aliya Perfume, Layla’s Luxury Lip Balm and Carson Cuticle Oil. “The edge control is our top seller, to be honest,” Carson said. “It allows them to tame and style their edges.” The now-former plumbers — or “house doctors,” as Carson said — enjoy the creativity and the opportunities that come with CG Essentials.

“It’s the same rush I used to get when I was plumbing,” Zareef said. Zareef and Carson would love to expand their business, but they’re happy with the success they’ve had so far. They are working on having CG Essentials products in Walmart, Target and beauty salons. “People are telling us how much they love it,” Carson Lorenzo Carson and Taqee Zareef founded CG Essenso they could spend more time with their children. added. “We do it all at home, tials (Photo courtesy of CG Essentials) which allows us to spend time with our family and kids.

Desert Edge students send letters to war heroes BY LAUREN SERRATO

that it was having for our community and the first responders. Even more so, when students are involved in these types of activities it boosts their self-confidence and their self-awareness of when you are making others feel better about themselves, then they naturally feel better about themselves,” she said. Nothing But Love Notes’ founder, Natalie Reilly, will collect letters from the community at the football game. Reilly started her love notes mission in 2016, when her mother underwent 19 rounds of chemotherapy. She said they were in search of something to take their minds off their misery as a cancer patient and as a caregiver. “We sat down and, for a couple of hours, we wrote thank-you notes to hand out,” she said. “Then we got in the car and for three hours we drove around, just within a few miles of my house. We saw a police officer pumping gas, so we stopped to give him a note; and the cars who had veteran plates, we would leave the notes on the cars. I noticed immediately she was starting to light up again. It gave her purpose. It gave me purpose, outside of just surviving her diagnosis,” Reilly said. Together, the mother-daughter duo wrote notes to veterans, law enforcement officers and firefighters. Quickly they realized the public could help. More than 25,000 letters have been written to war heroes and first responders.

West Valley View Staff Writer

s fall sports are gearing up, one local high school is looking to make a difference during the second game of the varsity football season. Desert Edge High School is partnering with Nothing But Love Notes for a second time to honor America’s war heroes and first responders. This year’s event will take place during the game against Westview on Friday, Sept. 10, which has also been deemed first responder night. The game will recognize all first responders for their time, dedication and service in honor of the 20th anniversary of 9/11. “This celebrates the memory and lives of those that were lost,” said Julie Jones, Desert Edge’s principal. “Most of our students weren’t even born when this happened. It’s important to make sure that it’s not forgotten. We want to recognize those who have and still serve for us, our veterans, our first responders, inviting them out to our game for free admission.” Partnering with Nothing But Love Notes was an easy decision, Jones said, based on the success and positive experience with the program last year. “We had such a wonderful experience the first round of working with the campaign and the type of letters that our students were writing,” Jones said. “We could just see the positive impact

Reilly said it only took a couple love notes to notice the difference a simple handwritten letter makes in the lives of others. “In the beginning, it was just to get us out of our melancholy,” she said. “The surprising part and the part that I never anticipated was becoming a part of this community. “We had run into a Korean War veteran in the grocery store, and he had a cap on.
