State superintendent visits Avondale school BY ANDREA ESTRADA
West Valley View Staff Writer
When Kathy Hoffman, Arizona’s superintendent of public instruction, visited the Legacy Traditional School in Avondale, she got a firsthand look at the traditional, well-rounded education for which the network of high-performing public charter schools is known. Aaron Hale, the founder of Legacy Traditional Schools, and Legacy Avondale Principal Kristen Smith shared with Hoffman some achievements of the “A-rated” campus, which opened in 2011. “We started with 450 kids and now we’re at 1,350. One of the things we’re extremely proud of is that we’ve been able to maintain the same structure, curriculum, instruction and culture of our school,” Smith said. “That’s, I think, remarkable; being able to keep that small-school feel.” Smith described the culture on campus as “positive,” something she attributes to the Legacy format. “Kids love to be here. It’s not just our academic side, but that it’s a safe place. Our parent input and students’ responses — as far as how they’re feeling on campus — they want to come to school every day,” she said. LTS programs that promote the arts and

fitness also contribute to that positive culture, Hale told Hoffman. “We have full-size basketball courts in all of our campuses. We have music programs and PE programs. Everything. Be-
cause we’re really that whole spectrum of service for the kids,” he said. Hoffman, who toured a handful of class-

Citizens venture inside Buckeye Police Department BY OCTAVIO SERRANO
West Valley View Staff Writer
Pop culture can sometimes lead the public to hold misconceptions about local police departments. With that in mind, the Buckeye Police Department implemented a program to keep the community educated on how it operates.
The Buckeye Citizens Police Academy offers a close look into the inner workings of the police department. Participants participate in interactive classes with experienced police officers, sergeants, crime scene investigators and detectives. The academy will begin Wednesday, September 4, and runs six consecutive Wednesdays through October 9, from 6 to 8:30 p.m. at
the Coyote Branch Public Library. Don McWilliams, neighbor and family services manager for the BPD, said, “This police academy is open to the public, and it is a bridge between the police department and the community.” MEDICATION Although people normally notice police A

officers, McWilliams said people don’t normally hear from other departments. He hopes the academy will help remedy that lack of information, which will lead to a better understanding and appreciation from other less-known factors. McWilliams said the program will expand on specific aspects of the department like its patrol operations, criminal investigations, K-9 units, traffic investigations, SWAT team and others. “They hear anything from administration to investigation, from dispatch to SWAT. They get to hear from experts, and we have found out by doing this program it has really opened the door with the community,” McWilliams said. “It has made a huge difference in the support that we have from the community.” McWilliams said a popular topic during these academies, which have been taking place since roughly 2005, is the crime scenes. People’s ears tend to perk up when experts speak on what cops look for and why. “We have a crime scene manager that has been doing police work for over 40-plus years in crime scenes,” McWilliams. “He talks about some realities and some real cases from the

past (not from Buckeye). “They can expect an in-depth look at the BPD, the policies, procedures, the everyday goings of the police department, and what we do and why we do it.” Because participants learn what cops look for, McWilliams said, once they have completed the academy they are more likely to help the police department on a daily basis by being alert to their surroundings and actually calling

in tips of potential leads. “We talk about what our officers are looking for when they’re out there on the road,” McWilliams said. “Once a person has gone through the academy, they are more of a supporter of the police department when it comes to calling in those tips.” BPD prides itself on using a wide range of resources to keep everyone safe, including perpetrators. The department uses less-lethal weapons when possible. Rather than going in quick and rough, officers take their time, analyze situations and come up with a plan on how to either diffuse a situation or handle a perpetrator with the least amount of harm possible. Participants will learn about this less-lethal program, as well as PBD’s SWAT and how that team operates. “Our SWAT actually teaches them what we look for when we’re going into a building and they teach them how to actually properly handle a gun, and they take them through those scenarios,” McWilliams said. McWilliams said BPD also seeks to forge relationships with the community in the hopes that they will become part of its family. Officers view training and informing the community as the perfect way to find the right type of volunteers. “We have gotten tremendous support here in Buckeye. We have put over a thousand people thus far through our Citizen Academy, and it just worked out great,” McWilliams said. “We get our best volunteers from our academy because now they understand the inner workings of the police department and all the things that are behind that.” McWilliams said many people enjoy the academy so much that they take it more than once. Taryn Malone, a
Buckeye resident who is due to graduate from ASU in December with a major in criminal justice and a minor in social welfare, stressed the importance of a healthy relationship between a police department and its community. “It brings us together with the police department, and I think if the police department has the community’s support, they can do their job a lot better and protect us a lot better,” Malone said. Although she has studied aspects of law enforcement in her classes, she understands hands-on experience is crucial when it comes to learning about a police department. “You can only read and study so much, so actually being able to get in and meet officers and see what actually is going on, especially in my city, is really nice,” Malone said. Some of her favorite aspects of the academy include learning about K-9 units and how officers build relationships with their companions as well as learning about the SWAT teams. “We got to shoot the paintball guns and go through this house like we’re clearing it, and that was fun,” Malone said. The academy has also helped her learn how to react in certain situations. She understands why a cop she encounters may be acting a certain way and she is ready to educate others. “If I’m driving around and I see them doing something, I can explain to my friends or whoever may be with me why they’re doing this,” Malone said. By allowing participants to experience the everyday lives of law enforcement officers and why they operate the way they do, citizens learn how to take care of their neighborhoods more efficiently and proceed in challenging situations. “Buckeye is not only one of the fastest growing cities, but also one of the safest cities. That’s not just because of the department, it’s because our citizens are actually getting involved,” McWilliams said. For more information, visit https:// bit.ly/2L19XuO.

I think students like to be challenged. Setting rigor high and making expectations clear — like having standards explicitly written out in every classroom and having good classroom management — are foundational components to student success,” Hoffman told the West Valley View. Hoffman also heard about some of the extracurriculars available at Legacy Avondale, including robotics and musical theatre classes. “It’s great to see that all students’ needs are met, while also keeping rigor and (aiming) high. As far as the extracurriculars, that’s critically important for students’ … skills. We know students are not ready to learn if those needs are not also met. It’s great to see that they have access to that here,” Hoffman said. Hoffman, who was elected superintendent in 2018 and assumed her position in January, oversees the state of Ar-

But she told students her favorite part of her job is interacting with students and teachers from different schools. “This is my favorite part. I love to be meeting students and meet with the teachers. That helps me figure out how I can help our schools, because I get to learn from you guys what schools need,” she told a class of first-graders. And when a student asked Hoffman if her job is difficult, she admitted, “I have a really long day sometimes. Sometimes I travel a lot … sometimes it’s hard to be away from home. “But it’s worth it. It’s more fun than hard.”

Vitalant, Culver’s partner to Road preservation treatment work approaching increase holiday blood donations
BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
Contractor crews working for the city of Avondale will apply crack seal materials to roads throughout Avondale this coming fall. Most of these roads are in residential areas and the work will take place over a period of approximately 15 weeks. Road preservation work is scheduled to occur September 23 through December 31. Streets in the following residential communities will be treated, with
work beginning September 23 through October 14: Las Palmeras, Corte Sierra, Sage Creek, Dysart Ranch and Rio Crossing. Crews will perform the work between 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. Every effort will be made to provide traffic control that minimizes interruptions to normal traffic flows. Notifications have been provided to residents via door hangers, and to affected HOAs in advance to the work. For more information, call the city of Avondale at 623-333-4221.
BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
Gov. Doug Ducey proclaimed the Labor Day holiday timeframe as Arizona Blood Donation Week because blood supplies are expected to dramatically decline. That’s also why Vitalant (formerly known as United Blood Services) and Culver’s restaurants are ramping up efforts to increase blood donations during the holiday week. Donate at any blood drive or donor center through Friday, September 6, and receive a voucher for a free pint of fresh frozen custard courtesy of Culver’s.
Blood donations decline by up to 25% during holiday weeks, but heavy traffic on the roads and highways increases the potential for accidents and the need for blood. The Goodyear donor center, 14270 W. Indian School Road, is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays and 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays. Appointments are recommended.

Landscape classes help Avondale residents conserve water BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
The city of Avondale is offering free classes to the public on how to conserve water within their landscaping. On average, Arizonans use as much as two thirds of their water outdoors. When plants and landscaping are watered too much and too frequently, much of this water ends up being wasted, leading to
high water bills and plants that actually die from over watering. Learn how to create a healthy, vibrant landscape without the water waste by attending a class hosted at Avondale City Hall, 11465 W. Civic Center Drive. Class days and times vary. Register for these free classes by calling 623-3334400 or by email at eavila@avondaleaz.

La Joya Community High School gets new principal BY ANDREA ESTRADA
West Valley View Staff Writer
Longtime educator Stacie Almaraz was recently named principal at La Joya Community High School, a place she likes to call home. While she’s new to her position at La Joya, Almaraz, who replaced John Ewing on July 1, is no stranger to the Avondale campus. “I started here back in 2005. I was hired as a PE (physical education) and health teacher,” she said. Almaraz, most recently the assistant principal of athletics and registration at a neighboring district, said she returned to the Tolleson Union High School District (TUHSD) because of its emphasis on staff and student success, as well as Superintendent Nora Gutierrez’s leadership. “I absolutely love the direction of the district. Ms. Gutierrez is a very strong female role model. I had a chance to work with Ms. Guiterrez early on, and I loved the way she presented herself and the district; the way she was moving toward academic success for kids,”

work alongside the more than 100 faculty and staff members at La Joya. “They were amazing when I was here in 2005, and they’re amazing,”

she said. “They are ‘kid-first’ and that is truly what we want to focus on: academic success and getting our kids to a postsecondary position.” The campus offers programs that promote those postsecondary positions, like the JAG (Jobs for Arizona Graduates) program — a class that prepares upperclassmen for postsecondary opportunities through curriculum and community service. The program, coordinated by Catherine Carcia, has won “Program of the Year” for two years in a row at TUHSD. “I was super happy about inheriting a wonderful JAG program along with a ton of other programs on our campus. I love that Ms. Garcia is able to get these kids on a different level; think about other opportunities. I love that those kids go out and share that with others on campus and pull them in,” Almaraz said. But there is always room for improvement, she added. Almaraz wants to focus on increasing parent involvement, she said. “We all know that the parents are a huge help to us in pushing those kids to a postsecondary, so I always want to make sure that we keep them involved and push our kids to push themselves to get to a higher education,” she added. Almaraz, a native Arizonan, grew up in Glendale. She received her master’s degree in educational leadership at North Arizona University.

Goodyear native serves 25 YEARS OF HONEST SERVICE at Stennis Space Center CAMERA PIPE INSPECTIONS
BY ALVIN PLEXICO
Buying an older home? Scope the sewer line first!
Navy Office of Community Outreach
Most Americans rely on weather forecasts to plan their daily routine. The U.S. Navy is no different. With numerous ships, submarines and airplanes deployed around the world, sailors and civilians serving with the Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command at Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, advise Navy leaders about the impact of ocean and atmospheric conditions on future operations. Petty Officer Third Class Martin Nepita, a 2017 Estrella Foothills High School graduate and native of Goodyear, is one of those responsible for providing timely, comprehensive and tactically relevant information for ships, submarines, aircraft and other commands operating throughout the globe. As a Navy aerographer’s mate, Nepita is responsible for surveying the bottom of the ocean looking for obstructions. Nepita credits success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned growing up in Goodyear. “Growing up in Arizona, I learned the importance of working hard and honesty,” Nepita said. A key element of the Navy the nation needs is tied to the fact that America is a maritime nation, according to Navy officials, and that the nation’s prosperity is tied to the ability to operate freely on the world’s oceans. More than 70% of the earth’s surface is covered by water; 80% of the world’s population lives close to a coast; and 90% of all global trade by volume travels by sea. “Naval Oceanography defines and applies the physical environment for the entire Navy fleet from the bottom of the ocean to the stars,” said Rear Adm. John Okon, Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command. “There isn’t a plane that flies, a ship or a submarine that gets underway without the sailors and civilians of Naval Oceanography.” Nepita is playing an important part in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy. “Our priorities center on people, capabilities and processes, and will be achieved by our focus on speed, value,

results and partnerships,” Secretary of the Navy Richard V. Spencer said. “Readiness, lethality and modernization are the requirements driving these priorities.” Though there are many ways to earn distinction in a command, community and career, Nepita is most proud of receiving a letter of appreciation from an admiral. “I represented naval oceanography in the local community and shared with children what we do in the Navy,” Nepita said. Serving in the Navy is a continuing tradition of military service for Nepita, who has military ties with family members who have previously served. Nepita is honored to carry on that family tradition. “My uncles both served in the Army, and they told me the military is a great milestone that could help me get to where I want to be,” Nepita said. As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Nepita and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes, providing the Navy the nation needs. “Serving in the Navy means that I get to protect the values of the United States,” Nepita added. “I also value the people I have met during my time in the Navy.”

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
Community leader, former legislator, activist and business executive Diane B. McCarthy, the director of business partnerships and legislative affairs at West-MEC, will soon be honored for her commitment to community and vision for the West Valley. McCarthy will be officially honored at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, October 1, at Arizona Broadway Theatre in Peoria. The event is open to the community. “I am excited to honor Diane McCarthy as West Valley Women’s 2019
Woman of the Year. Ms. McCarthy is active in the community, well-known, respected and empowers those around her. Her vision has helped the West Valley become the vibrant growing community it is today.

McCarthy, who has been in her WestMEC position since November 2007, received her Bachelor of Arts in political science from Arizona State University.
Avondale asking residents to register for ‘reverse 911’ BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
September is National Preparedness Month, and Avondale public safety and communications officials want residents to be prepared by making certain their families will be and stay informed with local reverse 911. Local Reverse 911, also known as Community Emergency Notification System, allows emergency responders to reach out to residents via text alerts or voice-recorded prompt in the case of an emergency in their specific neighborhoods. Notifications include fires, floods, hazardous spills, police incidents, missing children and endangered adults.

Art display to honor first responders BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
The city of Avondale will dedicate a public art display titled “Service. Strength. Sacrifice.” on Wednesday, September 11, honoring Arizona’s first responders. An event is planned at Avondale City Hall that day at 9 a.m. to showcase the new public art display in the lobby. The exhibit includes a collection of more than 100 patches that represent first responder agencies throughout the state. Public safety agencies in Arizona were invited to contribute patches to this project, to be incorporated into a permanent public display. The display, intended to be both a tribute and thanks to Arizona’s law enforcement and fire/medical personnel, was funded by the Avondale Municipal Art Committee. With more than 100 agencies represented from around the state, the
display has room to expand, and will serve as a fixture in the lobby of City Hall for years to come. The city invites the public, as well as representatives from fire/medical and law enforcement agencies, to gather at 9 a.m. September 11 for a short ceremony honoring Arizona’s first responders for their service, strength and sacrifice. The ceremony will include a remembrance of the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and will end with a bagpipe performance of “Amazing Grace” by Avondale Battalion Chief Aaron Glass. Refreshments will be served following the event. The public will have an opportunity to write a message of gratitude, acknowledging our first responders on a special display poster. Avondale City Hall is located at 11465 W. Civic Center Drive. For more information, call 623-333-1600.

Abrazo West trauma center marks five years

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 4, 2019
BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
It was just five short years ago the first Level I trauma center west of I-17 opened at Abrazo West Campus. The center exceeded volume projections in only six months, and the service continues to expand to meet the needs of the growing West Valley. Thousands of critically injured patients have been treated each year since the trauma center earned state Level I certification in July 2014. Abrazo West’s trauma program receives patients from a wide geographic area, serving southwestern Arizona communities all the way to the California state line. “When the trauma center opened, it was projected that it would serve about 1,200 trauma patients a year. We saw 1,500 trauma patients in the first six months,” said Tiffiny Strever, trauma program manager at Abrazo West. “It really showed there was a need for these services in the region.” The Abrazo West trauma center opened after a hospital expansion project added trauma bays, trauma surgical suites and new private rooms to the
Abrazo West Campus Chief Executive Officer Christina Oh said opening the Level I trauma center was a significant milestone in the hospitals evolution.

cial and plastic surgery, and other specialties. “Launching a Level I trauma center takes much planning, investment and persistence. Abrazo West saw a need and fulfilled a commitment to provide a higher level of care,” Chief Executive Officer Christina Oh noted. “Opening the trauma program was a watershed moment for this hospital to truly become a medical center that provides value for the community in so many ways.” Abrazo West Campus is now a teaching hospital, with doctors from Abrazo’s general surgery and internal medicine residency programs completing rotations through the trauma center, working alongside emergency and trauma care physicians. Abrazo West now receives around 2,500 trauma patients a year. With its proximity to several busy highways, one might assume motor vehicle crash injuries make up a large number of
patients. While it’s certainly true that many patients are the result of car crashes, Strever noted a surprising stat. “There are three primary types of injuries that we see: motor vehicle crashes, falls and interpersonal violence. Of those, approximately many of our traumas are now fall injuries,” she said. That’s consistent with research that shows falls are the leading cause of injury deaths, unintentional injuries and hospital admissions for trauma for older adults in the United States. “It sounds simple but people don’t realize how serious falls can be. Falls happen to people of all ages, but they are now a leading cause of death due to injury for those over age 65, and account for nearly half of all nursing home admissions. Falls are the major cause of hip fractures in older adults, and responsible for about half of all fatal head injuries,” Strever explained. September is Fall Prevention Awareness Month. A free class from 2 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, September 18, at Abrazo West will offer tips on how one can take to prevent falls including ways to improve balance and strength. That class will be held in the second-floor conference room, 13677 W. McDowell Road, Goodyear. To learn more or RSVP for the event, call 1-833-823-0277 or visit abrazohealth.com/fallprevention.
Facts about falls • 1 in 5 falls causes a serious injury such as broken bones or a head injury. • Each year, 3 million older people are treated in emergency departments for fall injuries. • Over 800,000 patients a year are hospitalized because of a fall injury, most often because of a head injury or hip fracture. • Each year at least 300,000 older people are hospitalized for hip fractures. • More than 95% of hip fractures are caused by falling, usually by falling sideways. • Falls are the most common cause of traumatic brain injuries. • In 2015, the total medical costs for falls totaled more than $50 billion. Medicare and Medicaid shouldered 75% of these costs. Source: U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS
SMITH’S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Trump’s lies Editor:
Is President Trump a liar? Is the Pope a Catholic (like me)? Yes, obviously. Should we care that our nation’s leader often does not tell the truth? Apparently some people don’t care what kind of person Trump is as long as the economy is doing well and people of color are kept under control. The Washington Post has noted over 10,000 lies by Trump in less than three years. Politifact scores Trump’s checked remarks as 16% true and 70% false, with 14% half-true. Here are some of his recent prevarications, canards and untrue statements: • “Dems want immunity for illegal aliens who have committed horrible crimes.” False. Dems want criminal aliens imprisoned. • “U.S. farmers are receiving $28 billion out of the tariffs we’ve gotten from China.” False. China doesn’t pay the tariffs — U.S. businesses and consumers do. • “Rep. Ocasio-Cortez called our country ‘garbage.’” False. She said some of Trump’s policies were “not much better than garbage.” • “When the crowd chanted, ‘Send her back,’ I tried to stop them.” False. Watch the video — he made no effort to stop them. • “I know many of our social media posts have been blocked.” False. No evidence of that; millions of people see his posts. • “Pres. Obama had the same separation policy that I have.” False. Families were seldom separated under Obama and rarely for more than three weeks. • “The United Kingdom is our largest trading partner — not many people know that.” False. The United Kingdom is No. 5; China is No. 1. • “California admitted there were a million illegal votes there in 2016.” False. There is no evidence of voter fraud there or in other states. His own commission didn’t find fraud. • “In the old days, if the economy was good a president was immune from criticism.” False. That would be news to
Truman, Johnson, Nixon, Clinton, et al. • “My father was born in Germany.” False. He was born in New York City. Donald Trump is a lying, deceitful and amoral person who is selling America’s soul. John Flynn Goodyear
2008 recession blame
Editor: A recent letter by Mr. Flynn blamed the 2008 recession on “Republican policies.” No proof of his accusation was provided. His claim is contradicted by a consensus of many financial experts who believe no specific entity or person was responsible for this crisis. In their opinion, the recession was a collective failure of government agencies, commercial entities and individuals who irresponsibly managed or participated in the regulated government-sponsored enterprises named Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. A partial list of culprits included the feds, Congress, HUD, the treasury, CBO, Wall Street, mortgage lenders, both political parties, homebuyers, credit agencies and scores of individuals. Unbelievably, some financial institutions paid employees huge bonuses and also contributed to various congressional campaigns. So, greed played a role, too. The groundwork that eventually led to the 2008 recession originated with a proposal to help low-income families buy homes during President Carter’s administration. To implement this, Congress passed the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977 to encourage banks and thrift institutions to make home loans to minorities and low- to moderate-income workers. Since it worked well on a small scale, it was expanded by President Clinton in 1994, when government agencies broadened instructions to help banks and mortgage lenders further ease credit qualifications and reduce loan discrimination. These changes were also successful, as they helped grow the economy and definitely increased home purchases for low-income buyers. Reference: “Policy Statement on Discrimina-
tion in Lending,” dated April 15, 1994. In 2002, President Bush also supported this expansion. Both documents are available on Google. After the burst, many questioned how this pending disaster could have gone undetected for so many years. The general conclusion was the procedures were very complex and those responsible didn’t recognize any problems until it was too late. Even when some potential regulatory irregularities were suspected in 2003, 2005 and 2006, the Republican Congress held hearings, but no changes were made. In fact, Rep. Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) declared, “I do not think we are facing any kind of crisis.” And Sen. Thomas Carper (D-Delaware) stated, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” (Review these congressional hearings on C-Span.) Also, see Sen. McCain’s letter from May 5, 2006, warning, “If effective regulatory reform legislation is not enacted this year, taxpayers will be exposed to enormous risks if the market fails.” His letter was erndorsed by 19 Republicans but no Democrats, including then-Sen. Obama. Consequently, no Senate action was taken. Nor was any action taken in 2007 when the Democrats took over Congress. In 2009, Congress appointed a bipartisan committee of 10 nongovernment financial experts to determine what went wrong. The committee, named the Finan-
cial Crisis Inquiry Commission, concluded in a 545-page report issued on January 25, 2011, that this crisis was actually avoidable and was caused by: 1. Widespread failures in government management and financial regulation 2. Dramatic breakdowns in corporate governance, with too many firms acting recklessly, taking too much risk 3. An explosive mix of excessive borrowing and risk by households and Wall Street 4. Ill-prepared policymakers who lacked a full understanding of the financial system they oversaw 5. Systematic breaches of accountability and ethics violations at all levels 6. Grossly erred ratings and assessments of risky loans by credit agencies. Unfortunately, these details never received much coverage by the press. In conclusion, the No. 1 cause for the housing bubble collapse in 2008 was too many loans being given to too many people who couldn’t make payments on their mortgages, resulting in mass foreclosures on millions of homes. Getting to this stage was a slow process, as briefly outlined in previous paragraphs. Nyle Neumann Goodyear

Please don’t shout Editor:
Demeaning President Trump’s supporters only strengthens their resolve. Hateful name-calling falls on deaf ears. And juvenile “shaming” is so, well, shameless. Want to reach us? Talk real issues. Patiently explain to us why abortion-on-demand, high taxes, no national borders, a downsized military, a disarmed citizenry, multiculturalism (tribalism) and political correctness are all good things for America. The new tactic? Be polite; don’t shout. Ken Williams Goodyear
Democratic Party becoming irrelevant Editor:
Someone once commented that she liked my letters, but she wished I would try writing a positive one sometimes. OK, here goes. A few weeks ago, while my wife and I were standing in line at the Walmart
merchandise exchange window, I had a unique experience, which made my day. It was dynamic and positive. A middle-aged black female was standing just ahead of me in the line. Suddenly, she turned around, smiled, looked at me and without saying a word, extended her arm and gave me a high-five. Of course, I reciprocated the high-five and said, “I know why you just did that. You like my MAGA hat, correct?” She quickly and energetically replied, with a big smile on her face, “I love my country, and I love President Trump.” She continued, “When you leave the store today, if you notice a car in the lot with Trump stickers plastered all over it, well, that’s my car.” Wow. I was speechless. By this time, most if not all of the others in line, were standing and watching us in amazement. The woman then told me she is a Republican precinct worker. She showed me photos on her cellphone of her with state Republican leaders, whose pictures I recognized. I thanked her and told her to keep up the good work. So, to all of you Democrats out there, a word of warning: Your party has held black people in bondage in big cities since the Great Depression. Your party has them beholden to all your freebies
and subsidies, relying on their sure vote to stay in power. Guess what? Those days are almost over. God bless African Americans who are starting to reject your handouts for an opportunity to become part of the great American dream. They are wising up. They are demanding opportunity, not subsidies! If this trend continues — and it certainly should — soon your Democratic Party will be irrelevant. Roy Azzarello Goodyear
Scramblers cartoon/ word puzzle Editor:
First, I’m your standard, ordinary, happily married, heterosexual male. Maybe soon we’ll get an alphabet designation (e.g., OHMHM). Anyway, I say that lest you think I have a built-in bias as it relates to my complaint: that your scramblers cartoon consistently puts down women. The creator (he, it or other) must be a misogynist (a bad choice). Its weekly subject perpetuates the standard negative behavior traits unjustly assigned to women. August 14 hit on cooking, a few
weeks ago. It was something about a paycheck going to pay the wife’s auto repair bill, and so it goes. They’re not just occasional but repeating, week after week. It’s a pattern. It’s hardly trivializing “political correctness” (which I recognize has permeated our society to the point of absurdity in some instances) to ask you to intervene. This is just plain, simple awareness — “whose ox is being gored?” Must women be the punch line for all of these scramblers? Anyway, View, for all your preaching on the editorial page — clean up your own house. Richard Hinkel Goodyear
Trump didn’t cause shootings Editor:
Like all liberals, in my humble opinion, John Flynn’s got it wrong.

hatred of our president is the cause. Wait a minute. That’s not possible. It can only be our president’s telling the truth in simple English that causes problems. It can’t be the left's followers harassing people in restaurants and airports or exploiting lies about ICE. The thousand people murdered in America each month, per his quote, aren’t because of President Trump, and neither are mass shootings. The guy who did the Ohio mass shootings was a liberal and spewed the liberal philosophy. I noticed CNN and the other leftwing news media never mentioned that. Just that the El Paso shooter was a rightwing kinda guy. The problem, sir, is not political. It is the fact that of all shootings, the mass majority, are done by boys/men who did not have a father in the home (recent study released; I don’t remember the particulars). Also, of those thousand folks killed, most of them were killed in Democrat-run cities and states. You cannot argue with that fact. In reality, if those cities and states were suddenly run by Republicans, I don’t know what the rightwing politician could do to stop a culture that has more kids running amok with one-parent families — usually a woman trying to keep them straight. Trump is now getting flack for gathering up illegals and busting the businesses that hire them for cheap labor. Hardcore? You bet. President Trump is enforcing laws written and approved by Congress many decades ago. Other presidents — Democrats and Republicans — didn’t have the intestinal fortitude (guts) to start protecting American citizens’ jobs. We don’t need a different message from our duly-elected president; we need more messages of the same to save our country. You think Biden, Sanders, Warren or Harris are interested in the United States of America and its citizens? Open borders, free college, free medical care, free, free, free, and raise taxes on middleclass people? Nothing is free, my leftwing friends — absolutely nothing. All we see in the news is the leftwing side of the story: socialism. I said this before in a letter: AOC and her ilk will not sway this country. America will not be a socialist nation. Folks who like all this free stuff can move to Venezuela, Cuba or any other commie- or socialist-run nation. Go, man, go now. Collect your free stuff. Enjoy! God bless America. Walter B. Dillon Avondale
Another vote against Nike Editor:
I read the letter from Ronnie Quillen and totally agree with him. Why should our city support a company that takes advice from a washed-up quarterback, and who obviously doesn’t check his facts? The NAACP among other organizations disagrees with him about the Betsy Ross flag being racist. The mayor and city council should remember we voted them in, and as the voters we have the final word on what should be in our city or not. They were elected to represent us, not rule us. Let Nike go somewhere else. I would say where, but this is a family publication. Samuel Diamond Goodyear
BLM going into target shooting range business Editor:
The Bureau of Land Management restricts recreational uses like camping, off-road vehicles and campfires on all the public lands they manage. But they allow “disbursed recreational target shooting” on 97% of their land. You only have to travel a few yards into BLM-managed lands to see the bullet-riddled evidence of disbursed recreational target shooting strewn across the landscape. Now, BLM wants to get into the “concentrated recreational target shooting” business by constructing five target shooting range microsites on the suburban fringe of the Phoenix area. The taxpayer cost for these target shooting areas will be about $2 million each, give or take a few hundred thousand dollars. A few years ago, BLM designated a recreational target shooting area just north of the city of Buckeye. They “managed” the area with a few regulatory signs, which were quickly shot full of bullet holes. Shooters of all types flocked to the area, shooting up everything in sight and leaving tons of trigger trash in their wake. A fiber-optic transmission line carrying vital 911 communications was severed more than 40 times by bullets, high-power electric transmission line insulators were shot to pieces and exploding Tannerite targets rattled windows of nearby residential neighborhoods 24 hours a day. Homes, school yards, businesses, traffic on I-10 and anyone who was
OPINION out recreating within stray bullet range of the BLM target shooting area was in danger of being shot. On January 14, 2018, a young expectant mother out ATV riding a mile from the target shooting area was killed by a stray bullet. Two innocent lives were lost. Combined city, county, state and federal law-enforcement operations around the BLM target shooting area were increased and netted numerous felons in possession of firearms, illegal or altered firearms, wanted felons, drug traffickers and gang members. The BLM eventually closed the area while infrastructure repairs were being conducted, and EPA lead assessments and clean-up could be made in preparation to ceding the land to the city of Buckeye. As that process completes, the entire area is closed to recreational use of any kind. Now, BLM wants to double down on their mismanagement by concentrating target shooters into five or more inadequately planned, poorly or nonregulated, mismanaged and unsecured shooting ranges. Since “disbursed recreational target shooting” will still continue on the rest of BLM’s land, the only advantage the edge of town BLM target ranges will provide is that drug traffickers, gang members and other
criminals will have a shorter commute to gun-range practice. Those commutes will be through your neighborhoods. If you like that idea, you will get all the trouble you are asking for. If you don’t like the idea, don’t bother to complain to the BLM — they’ve already made up their mind to construct the ranges. Take a look at this website, https:// go.usa.gov/xmfVv (case sensitive), and see what you are in for. Then, call your elected government officials. They all have a position on reducing gun violence and regulating firearms. Some of them might even think it is a bad idea to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on this ridiculous BLM recreational shooting target range project. Bill Sansom Buckeye

Inconvenient errors
Letters...continued from page 13
Editor:
Valley — Phase 5, my neighbors and I live just north of PebbleCreek. Our subdivision borders on the city-owned Bullard Wash Park adjoining Falcon Park. We experience the same issues raised by our PebbleCreek neighbors. Standing water attracts disease-carrying mosquitoes and makes it impossible for the city to properly maintain the public greenbelt. These overgrown wetland areas have changed the ecosystem and have attracted a host of wild animals. The most troubling is the spike in the local coyote population. Residents now encounter coyotes on neighborhood strolls/ runs. The coyotes have become brazen, now regularly jumping fences to explore our backyards. Numerous dogs have been attacked. I personally have fended off coyotes at my home several times in the last month. What is particularly concerning is the coyotes don’t seem scared of humans. Despite my yelling, one coyote watched me for a long time before jumping into another neighbor’s backyard. Another day, a coyote came to my back patio and peered into my home through my sliding-glass window. The flooding of Bullard Wash has also caused serious obstacles for our neighborhood’s students attempting to walk to/from Millennium High School. With the increasingly aggressive coyotes, students could be attacked this winter when they’ll be walking to school before sunrise. The nocturnal coyotes seem to den in the Bullard Wash and may threaten the safety of students. I have set up a Facebook group to help us organize to find a resolution to the flooding issues: “Residents Concerned About Bullard Wash Flooding and Aggressive Coyotes.” Please join the group if you are concerned, regardless of where you live.

In March of 2006, the movie “An Inconvenient Truth” came out featuring Al Gore and his 10 global forecasts. All the forecasts have proven false (even Snopes refuses to address these idiotic forecasts), with the most egregious being “humanity may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan.” Even a British judge in 2017 found Al’s movie to contain nine “key scientific errors” and not be suitable for educational purposes. Not only has the earth survived, but Mr. Gore, who The Washington Post refers to as “the most renowned crusader on climate change,” has found his “green” business connections to be quite profitable, to the tune of having a current net worth of $350 million, according to The Wealth Record. Indeed, Mr. Gore may become the first “carbon billionaire.” To complement his new lavish lifestyle, Al dumped his wife of 40 years, Tipper, for a newer model. In 2008, Mr. Gore, predicted the north polar ice caps would melt in five years. Whoops! They are still with us. In 2010, Al bought a 6,500-square-foot house for nearly $9 million in Montecito, California, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, which is supposed to be rising dramatically due to climate change. Apparently this shill for the green industry forgot his own dire warnings about rising sea levels. The level of hypocrisy coming from Mr. Gore would even make a socialist blush. The culprit apparently in all these phony predictions is carbon dioxide, the same gas essential for life on the planet and not a pollutant. The truth is carbon dioxide, or carbon emissions, play little or no role in affecting the climate. In a May 1, 2017, article, Dr. Richard Lindzen, an MIT atmospheric science professor, stated that believing

CO2 controls the climate is pretty close to believing in magic. CO2 levels may be increasing, but they still only make up only 0.04% of all atmospheric gases. Other factors like solar activity, ocean temperatures, El Nino and volcanic activity play a much bigger role in affecting the climate. Scientists may agree that CO2 levels are increasing and the earth may be warming, but attributing every severe weather event to manmade warming is fear mongering, dishonest and improvable. Other past predictions by climate alarmists have something in common with Mr. Gore’s predictions: They were all wrong or wildly exaggerated. On the cover of a 1977 edition of Time Magazine was the caption “The Big Freeze,” regarding the notion of a coming ice age. After the ice age did not happen, other impending doomsday scenarios like mass starvation, no snow, overpopulation and resource depletion were predicted and, of course, have never materialized. In 1971, Paul Ehrich predicted England would no longer exist. Now the IPCC, the climate propaganda arm of the United Nations, has predicted the earth has 12 years left unless drastic action to cut carbon emissions is enforced. The problem is the IPCC has a poor track record of predicting climate change, starting in 1990, when they used dubious computer models and trends to predict extreme weather events. What is fascinating in all these climate change predictions is that our weather channel folks have trouble predicting the weather next week, but yet we are to believe the climate alarmists who predict what will happen in 5, 10, 15 or 80 years out? Those who believe and promote this fake science have made Al Gore a very wealthy man. Igor Shpudejko Goodyear
The building of Litchfield Park Editor:
I was reviewing the new Litchfield Park City Center guidelines on the Litchfield Park website. I see where you want to build four parking garages, 260 apartments contained in two-three story buildings and a movie theatre. The property is owned by Litchfield Park. This is the council’s decision. The only question I ask is why are you building these? I know the additional apartments are a tremendous revenue stream for
Councilman Mahoney’s three restaurants, but are they best for Litchfield Park? Why are you destroying the uniqueness that is Litchfield Park? People move here because of the large lots, because it’s green, because it’s small and because it’s unique. They want to build four parking garages containing 1,549 parking stalls. As of the 2010 Census, Litchfield Park has only 5,746 people. That’s all of Litchfield Park, not just the park. Has the town’s population grown since 2010? Of course it has, but has it grown enough for four parking garages and 260 apartments across 30 acres? You get my point. Hopefully. Glendale has one parking garage. For 246,709 people. Across 62 square miles. You want to put in a movie theatre when U.S. theatre ticket sales have declined by 6% year over year. A new movie theatre is a Palm Valley cinema waiting to happen. Mayor Schoaf, you state, and I quote, “The City Center needs to be a place where kids can feel safe walking to and around without traffic conflicts.” Do 260 apartments, four parking garages and the traffic they will bring make children feel safe as they walk to/from Litchfield Elementary School? Carefree Partners, who is responsible for the building of this concrete jungle, states, “Our goal is to express and enhance Litchfield Park’s unique social and cultural character in the downtown.” Two hundred and sixty apartments and four parking garages may be Carefree Partner’s goal, but I can guarantee you it’s not the residents of Litchfield Park’s goal.

Getting people off the streets fundamental in communities BY CLINT HICKMAN
Maricopa County District 4 Supervisor
Everybody should have a place to call home. This country is too great, our economy is too strong and our duty to one another is too fundamental to accept otherwise. This is what I believe. I also understand it’s not that simple. Ending homelessness entirely is the right goal, but no matter how hard we work or how many great programs we support, it probably won’t happen in my lifetime or yours. But that doesn’t mean we stand on the sidelines and do nothing. As a business leader and a county supervisor, I’m proud to support ideas that have impact. The ones that provide jobs and second chances to those teetering on the edge. The ones that connect people to stabilizing resources at critical moments. The ones that make a positive difference not only in the lives of individuals, but entire communities. This summer, the Board of Supervisors approved $2 million in federal and county dollars to fund proven programs and initiatives helping to
reduce homelessness, unemployment and repeat visitors to our jails. Many of these programs are run in partnership with our cities and towns, which are hyper-focused on community solutions that can make neighborhoods better. Here are a few examples that will improve quality of life in the West Valley: • Expanded partnerships with the cities of Avondale and Surprise to increase shelter options for the growing population of unsheltered individuals and families • Investments in community action programs which provide financial assistance and crisis case management to at-risk individuals in multiple cities and towns • Renewed agreements with trusted partners such as Native American Connections, Community Bridges, A New Leaf and Lutheran Social Services, which provide housing, shelter and navigation services The County believes in regional solutions to homelessness because no single government, no single nonprofit and no single person — however well-intentioned — can solve this
problem alone. But I also believe in personal investment. For most of my adult life, my family’s farm has been hiring people that others have written off, offering paid work to nonviolent offenders while they’re incarcerated. Recently, we expanded Hickman Family Farms’ reentry program to include temporary housing so those willing to work have a guaranteed roof over the head for as long as they need. I’m excited that Maricopa County is also working to make a difference in this area. One example funded this year is a collaboration called “Hand in Hand,” which connects those in the justice system who have experienced homelessness with supportive housing, physical/mental health and navigation services while in jail, and community services upon release. The people who benefit from Hand in Hand are the frequent flyers. Those who come back to jail again and again, often for misdemeanors, many of which are related to lack of housing. This program looks at the individual’s needs and provides resources that give them the greatest

chance of staying out of jail. Getting people off the streets and connecting them with affordable housing and jobs is an important part of building safe, healthy communities. Maricopa County is a regional leader and active partner on this issue, bringing people to the table and funding proven programs. We may not be able to do everything, but each of us can do something. I hope you’ll join us.

Uptown Jungle opening multilevel fun park in Avondale BY NATALIE URQUIZA
West Valley View Staff Writer
A popular destination for families looking to escape the heat and beaming sun is set to expand its reach to Avondale. Uptown Jungle, the multilevel fun park with locations in Peoria, Chandler, Mesa and even in California and Nevada, will open a 15,000-squarefoot park this month. The new West Valley location will feature a three-story play structure, six different climbing walls, ninja courses, spider towers, trampolines, slides and inflatables. It will formally open Friday, September 13, in the old Tuesday Morning building at 1725 N. Dysart Road. And, as an added draw, the first 100 customers on Friday and Saturday will receive a 60-minute jump card to revisit, while every subsequent customer will receive a 30-minute jump card. But at 2 p.m. Wednesday, September 11, Uptown Jungle will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. “Come get ready to take your shoes off and make memories with your families,” said Brittany Brown, community outreach director. “Let go of that stress and energy for two hours and have a really great time.” Aside from the main attractions, Uptown Jungle boasts a separate area called Uptown Tots, which targets children ages 5 and younger. And from 9 a.m. to noon every Monday through Thursday, Uptown Jungle enters “tot time,” when the parents can bring in their children from ages 5 and younger to enjoy the park. “It gives the little kids a chance to take over the whole park, instead of the little park that is designed for them,” Brown said. “Mom can take them up the ninja course and dad can wait at the bottom of the slide. They don’t have to worry about any big kids there.” But while the children have free-roaming fun, parents will have access to a lounge with leather seating, flat screen TVs, free WiFi and a massage chair.

“We cater to the parents that want to bring their laptop and work while their kid has a fun environment to go play,” Brown said. “We totally understand there is a parent that just wants their kid to have fun, because the parent might have obligations. We want to offer that environment as well.” The structures, however, are large enough for parents to interact with their children, making memories and letting out stress. “We absolutely encourage the whole family to come,” Brown said. “In general, (ages) 2 to 14 is the demographic, but I see the adults having more fun than the kids sometimes.” To accommodate birthday parties, Uptown Jungle is home to a special menu featuring items like pizza and chicken wings. And, it has soda fountains and sells prepackaged snacks. Rates range from $10 to $18, depending on the length of the visit. Grip socks are sold, too. “We have socks they can borrow and leave behind when they are done. It is a $3 savings,” Brown said. But throughout each week, there will be a variety of discounts and deals. Thursday is a “community day,” in which admission is discounted by 50% for school administrators, first responders, military personnel, local
business owners and scout groups. “We are going to have a lot of deals each week, so a chance of people coming in and paying full price every time is not going to really happen,” Brown said. “We are going to have a lot of different programs to offer and discounted rates for them to come in.” Similar to the other trampoline parks, each child’s parent or guardian has to fill out a waiver for every person who

wants to play on the structures. The parents can sign up at the kiosks inside the park or can go online to avoid waiting in line. “Once it is in the system, it is good for a whole year,” Brown said. “They don’t have to redo it each time they come in.” Despite the need for a waiver, Uptown Jungle emphasizes a fun, safe and clean environment. Staff is trained to properly place children in harnesses for different attractions. “It is extremely safe,” Brown said. “We have a ton of staff on the floor walking around, making sure everybody is using the structures the way they are supposed to be using them.” For more information about the new location, visit avondale.uptownjungle. com or follow Uptown Jungle Avondale on Facebook.

Business Briefcase
BY CONNOR DZIAWURA
West Valley View Managing Editor
Hello, readers! Welcome back to Business Briefcase. I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. This week, we resume the column with news of several great new openings around the West Valley. From Avondale to Goodyear, medical-related practices are popping up all over. Beyond the health care industry, however, we have a change of ownership and name in Tolleson (and a related celebratory event to boot) as well as a campaign hosted by several West Valley car dealerships to collect bicycles for kids. But that’s just this week. In the coming weeks, plenty more developments will be covered. Though there are no Buckeye or Litchfield Park updates this week, you’re bound to hear some news in the future, especially as I’m already working on acquiring some details for residents of the former. Anyway, here’s the news! First, Phoenix Mountain Chiropractic Life Center has a new Avon-

Hornback, who worked at The Joint in Avondale from July 2012 until this past March. Phoenix Mountain Chiropractic Life Center, located at 1412 N. Central Avenue, Suite F, across from Bowlero, is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays. During the rest of the week, Hornback works at his Phoenix location. For the time being, the Avondale location focuses solely on chiropractic adjustments, though the eventual goal is to include acupuncture and massage therapy treatments like at the Phoenix location. For more information, visit shea-blvd-chiropractor.com. Let’s stick with the medical realm for another item. Medicine for Business and Industry opened a new occupational injury clinic in Goodyear. This is MBI’s eighth clinic in Arizona and fourth in the West Valley. At 4,700 square feet, the Goodyear location features an expansive waiting room, numerous patient exam rooms, a spacious physical therapy area, digital X-ray technology and a patient-focused design. It is a full-service occupational health clinic that offers injury care, employee wellness, pre-employment services, physical therapy, drug tests, physicals, safety screenings and more. MBI Goodyear is at 14419 W. McDowell Road. For more information,
visit mbiaz.com. Now let’s head farther east, over to the city of Tolleson. ACE Recycling recently came into new ownership. Formerly known as OCM Recycle West, it was founded in 2012 by Kate Hopeman and Patty Hannon, but acquired in April by John and Shelby Maguire. Now, the Maguires plan to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony in partnership with the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce at noon Friday, November 1. The event was rescheduled from late September. ACE Recycling is at 10297 W. Van Buren Street, Suite 16, between 99th and 107th avenues. For more information, visit aceewaste.com or contact Shelby Maguire at 623-907-5430 or shelby@aceewaste.com. The Southwest Valley Chamber can be contacted at 623-932-2260 or info@southwestvalleychamber.org. Finally, this year’s Recycle Your Bicycle campaign kicked off. Among the Earnhardt Auto Centers locations connecting new and gently used bicycles this month for Arizona kids in the foster care system is Earnhardt Honda, 10151 W. Papago Freeway, Avondale; Earnhard Hyundai Avondale, 10401 W. Papago Freeway, Avondale; Rodeo Ford, 13680 W. Test Drive, Goodyear; and Rodeo Kia, 10685 W. Papago Freeway, Avondale. Once collected, the Arizona Association for Foster & Adoptive Parents will help distribute the bicycles during the winter holiday season. Last year more than 1,300 bicycles were distributed. That’s all the briefs for this week! Thanks for reading! Have an item for Business Briefcase? Email Connor Dziawura at cdziawura@westvalleyview.com.

Southwest Valley Chamber counting to January BY JOHN SAFIN
Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce President and CEO
I’m already done with pumpkin spice whatever, especially after discovering pumpkin spice Spam. Yes, it’s a thing. I’m also looking past the holidays to the opening of the state legislative session. Political junkies love this time, and those of us who are a political influence know it’s a very serious time. Honestly, you should pay attention, as well. Whether you’re in business or not, you have a family and a job and are a part of the community. What happens at the Capitol doesn’t stay at the Capitol. Public policy/advocacy is one of the most unique and important functions of the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. The chamber is one entity speaking for thousands of voices from the business community, which has different forms. Most days, the chamber uses its voice to foster com-
merce in the form of referrals to area businesses. We also engage with our local and state-elected officials about matters important to the business community. It’s the chamber’s obligation to advocate for free enterprise, encourage business growth, and help maintain a stable economy and high quality of life. Maybe it’s not obvious that the Southwest Valley Chamber does more than that. We are a hub of information for residents, business professionals and visitors. We know everything! Yes, I can say that with confidence. We have a knowledgeable and well-informed staff at the chamber of commerce who are very integrated and involved in the entire community. Plus, we have relationships with thousands of people, each of whom has their own unique skillset and connections. Remember, it’s not what you know, but who you know. For business owners and other pro-
fessionals, the Southwest Valley Chamber is a marketing and advertising powerhouse, a referral network, a training and education center, and a place to grow your business and build credibility. Many chamber members want to be an influence in the community, be part of something bigger, or simply make friends who think like they think. You’ll hear many of our members say, “Chamber is family.” There are other groups, clubs and organizations who serve a needed purpose in the community.

A busy fall at the Buckeye Valley Chamber
BY DEANNA KUPCIK
Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce President and CEO
Did you know that at one time Buckeye was known as the dove-hunting capital of the West? Back in the ‘60s and ‘70s it was — people came from far and wide, companies bussed in hunters, celebrities came just for the thrill of hunting dove, and it was a big deal. But times changed, farmers did not grow as much grain and we lost that designation. September 1 was the start of the 2019 dove season. It begins a half hour before dawn and ends a half hour after dusk every day through September 15. Buckeye once again welcomes dove hunters. Arizona Game and Fish along with some local farmers have planted grain to attract more dove, so we are expecting a great season. The chamber will even be open from 4 to 10 a.m. Saturday, September 7, to welcome hunters. We will have the AZGF maps and will even have cof-

fee brewing at 508 E. Monroe Avenue. Please, stop in! Maps and hunting licenses are available on the Arizona Game and Fish website (azgfd.com/license). A few cleaning stations will be set up around town, and downtown restaurants will be open. For more information regarding dove hunting, check out another Game and Fish website: azgfd.gov/ dove. We can see the end of summer. At least the calendar indicates it’s about over. You can nod your head and smile now. But we are thinking ahead to our great weather months and our big community events. The Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce is putting together an official “Dining Guide” that will include every restaurant and eating establishment in the city of Buckeye. Our current count is at 67. This guide will be printed and distributed through the chamber and at our major events: Oktoberfest, Sangria & Shopping, Demolition Derby,

the Buckeye Marathon “Race to the Runway,” and the four-day Air Fair in February. (Yes, I said fourday Air Fair. There will be more on that in future articles, but we are very excited.) You can find all of these events on the chamber’s website: buckeyevalleychamber. org. Or, you can download the chamber app, which is available for iOS and Android phones.

Group honors basketball mother with fundraiser BY GRIFFIN FABITS
West Valley View Contributing Writer
The heartening scene that would eventually transpire in the Millennium High School gymnasium on August 24, which saw coaches, players and parents alike sporting “Luvy Strong” T-shirts, started with an unforeseen Twitter message from an unlikely source. Michael Dominguez, founder of Dominguez Performance Group and well-connected in Arizona’s high school basketball scene, learned of LaVette Singleton, the mother of Millennium senior basketball player Jasmine Singleton who is battling Stage 3 Rectal Cancer, through Twitter. And he wanted to help. The plan he had conjured up was a perfect blend of both his and LaVette’s worlds: The Dominguez Performance Group, a company specializing in high school development and recruitment, would host a basketball camp at Millennium — the very school at which LaVette’s oldest daughter, Tyonna, played and also the one Jasmine helped lead to a state title last winter. It was open to any player interested, of all ages, for a $20 entrance fee. In return, the Singleton family would net all proceeds from the camp. “I actually don’t know the family very well,” Dominguez said. “I saw someone in need of assistance and stepped in. Our community is very special and has the ability to impact peoples’ lives in great ways. I knew that
LaVette Singleton, center, poses with the estimated 60 campers who attended the Dominguez Performance Group’s fundraiser at Millennium High School. All proceeds of the camp were donated to Singleton, who was diagnosed with cancer in July. (Photo courtesy Michael Dominguez)
we could really help their family with a camp, so I contacted LaVette and she was more than thankful for our help.” LaVette being “more than thankful” may have slightly underestimated just how appreciative she really was. Frankly, she was floored. A stranger, one who she had vaguely known through her involvement in the high school hoops community, was offering significant help toward tackling her growing list of medical expenses. The day after the fundraiser, the Dominguez Performance Group tweeted that it had raised more than $2,500.
“I was overwhelmed,” LaVette said on August 24, parked on the sidelines inside the Millennium gym. “For someone to reach out to you like that and offer their services, it’s really a wonderful feeling.” Though Dominguez was unable to attend, his plan masterfully came to fruition. Roughly 60 players filled the Millennium gym, all donating to LaVette while also competing in drills and three-on-three games. Many of the campers were current or former Millennium boys’ and girls’ basketball players, but a good chunk hailed
from other schools spanning the Valley. Jasmine knew Dominguez had planned for this since July, when her mother was diagnosed. When it was officially announced that the fundraiser was a go, Jasmine took to Twitter in an effort to recruit players and friends to join her. “I play club as well, so my club teammates are here, and my stepbrother brought some of his friends,” she said. And through an infectious smile, she said, “I’m really thankful for this. It’s so thoughtful.” On display throughout the gym were T-shirts with “Luvy Strong” scripted in blue lettering on the back. There were other accessories and goodies for sale, from necklaces and stickers to miniature footballs and snacks. LaVette sat in the Millennium bleachers, watching her daughters and their teammates flood the gym in her honor, feeling so moved, even speechless at times. But the love she received prompted her to offer these words to everyone who attended the camp, and those who remain side by side with her as she continues her fight. “Just never give up on your dreams. Always, always pay attention to your body. Any illness will give you signs. Pay attention to your body and always follow your dreams.” Those interested in helping out LaVette and the Singleton family can do so via GoFundMe: gofundme.com/f/lavette039s-fight-against-rectal-cancer.

It’s OK to like characters, but they better have character, too CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph West Valley View Columnist
Let’s start with this thought. The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note and posted on the apple tray: “Take only one. God is watching.” Moving farther along the lunch line, at the other end of the table, was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A girl had written a note, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.” That girl is probably one of those characters that could use a bit of character. Have you noticed all the chatter about character and ethics lately? Most days some big shot is caught in some character failing. It’s frontline news. We are shocked. We get outraged, but only if it’s a person with whom we don’t philosophically agree. The big shot with whom we agree philosophically gets a free pass. Doesn’t that reveal a character issue in us almost as
significant as them? Times like that in which we are living require good character more than ever. Good character traits are listed in school cafeteria walls, in the newspaper, in businesses and in politics. It seems like the more we push good character in our world, the more we get characters in our world. However, good character won’t return until we get an a-ha about the necessity of character in all aspects of life. Character comes from within. Just because one acts like they have character doesn’t mean they have good character. You can’t change your character by getting a facelift. Today, we are obsessed with characters who have zero character. They are weird and entertaining. It makes for good optics and good media ratings. The message being broadcasted 24 hours a day is a character doesn’t need good character. But where are 90% of those characters 20 years later? That kind of personality-driven, media-supported success has a short shelf life. It’s not sustainable. It will get you in the long run. It’s not progressive. It’s regressive to both the character as well as the audience. Character determines long-term success. Our talents, drive, gifts or abilities

might get us to the top, but character keeps us there. Realizing our full potential is impossible without good character. Our character affects others and their trust in us. Trust violations, because character flaws and deficiencies create limited and guarded relationships. People and institutions withdraw from us. It becomes a “lose-lose” for everyone. Let me give you an example of what I’m talking about. Years ago, I was contacted by a high official of the United Nations. He shared with me that he was the head of a U.N. program whose goal was to find people of “ethics” who could teach on character in cities throughout Russia. He said many western businesses had invested in Russia, but because of a lack of basic business ethics, most of those businesses were now leaving Russia. That was leading to instability in Russia. The United Nations’ solution was to find leaders from other countries with a lifestyle of good ethics or values and introduce those values to the Russian business community through seminars all over Russia. The characters were there. They just lacked character. Did you catch that? The United Nations understood those businesses coming to Russia would never add real value to Russia with employees, politicians, teachers, academics, business leaders and the like who are characters with little character. Fair ethics and good character are essential for any nation, business or person to thrive in the long term. Theodore Roosevelt wisely said, “To educate a man in the mind and not in morals (values) is to educate a menace to society.” Lindsay White of Costa’s
Fresh Produce says, “We used to hire people for their skills, but we found we were firing them for character issues. Now we hire for character (values) and train for skills.” Let me ask you a question. If you were an employer, which of these employees would you rather employ? An employee who is alert or careless; compassionate or indifferent; diligent or slothful; orderly or confused; thorough or incomplete; has a good attitude or a bad attitude? If you are an employee, for what type of employer would you rather work? An employer who is generous or stingy; attentive or distracted; wise or foolish; truthful or untruthful; ethical or unethical? The answers should be obvious. Many have given up hope on finding people with good character these days. Character or the lack of character affects us all. Character can be our best friend or our worst enemy! Make character your best friend! Character isn’t old-fashioned. It’s wise because it’s efficient and it’s effective. History shows the people and nations who forget the necessity of good ethics and character are soon forgotten themselves. Allow me to say it this way: It’s OK to like a character, but they better have character, too! How about you, the character? The bigger you grow in quality character, the better quality of life gets for the character.

Water display returns to Coyote Library
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 4, 2019
BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
Buckeye residents will get a firsthand look at how much water the average person uses each day, thanks to the Water-Use It Wisely Tower. The interpretive tower is on display through the month of September at the Coyote Library, 21699 W. Yuma Road. The 16-foot pyramid is designed to help people understand their average daily water use both indoors and outdoors. Consisting of 120 one-gallon water jugs, the display serves as a 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.) The traveling display makes its stop in Buckeye, thanks to the water resources department partnership with Water-Use It Wisely. Come check it out and pick up some important water conservation information to learn how you can reduce water use. To find more water conservation tips, visit the Water-Use It Wisely 100 ways to conserve water page at https://bit. ly/2Lc7n57. Details on Buckeye’s water resources department can be found at buckeyeaz.gov/water.

2 rare gibbons born at Wildlife World Zoo BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park recently announced the birth of two rare species — pileated and white-handed gibbons. These are significant births for Wildlife World, as well as for animal conservation worldwide, as gibbons are the most endangered primates globally. Between Wildlife World’s three gibbon families, the zoo has welcomed 12 gibbon babies over the past 18 years. Wildlife World is one of only two zoos in the country to care for the pileated gibbon. With this being the zoo’s third birth of the species, this brings the total number of these critically endangered primates in the United States to 14. Wildlife World currently has siamang, white-handed and pileated gibbons on display. This makes its gibbon collection one of the largest and most diverse in the country. Gibbons are small, tailless apes found in the tropical rainforests of southern and Southeast Asia. They are among the fastest of all primates, and despite lacking a tail for balance they can be found walking on their hind legs along branches high above the ground, characteristically raising their arms above their head for balance. Wildlife World’s keepers and veterinarians have raised dozens of
species of wild and endangered animals over the past quarter century. All baby primates are raised by their parents, while select other species are raised in the zoo’s baby animal nursery. With more than 600 species and 6,000 animals on display, there are often new arrivals at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park. Other babies on display include a zebra, two bobcats, DeBrazza monkeys, endangered addax and Arabian oryx, and other youngsters throughout the 100-acre park. As a USDA-licensed, private institution accredited by the Zoological Association of America and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums, Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park receives zero taxpayer funding. No tax dollars have ever been spent to build or operate Wildlife World in its nearly 35-year history. Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park is located at 16501 W. Northern Avenue, Litchfield Park (at the southeast corner of State Route 303 and Northern Avenue). It is open seven days a week, 365 days a year, including all holidays. Zoo exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last zoo admission is at 5 p.m.). Aquarium exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission includes access to the zoo, aquarium and safari park.
For more information, call 623-935WILD (9453) or visit the zoo on

SUDOKU TIME
The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.
Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.
SCRAMBLERS Unscramble the letters within each rectangle to form four ordinary words.
Then rearrange the boxed letters to form the mystery word, which will complete the gag!

‘The Nutcracker’ holding auditions ahead of winter performances BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
STUDENT WINS $500 DAR SCHOLARSHIP
Chelsea Lovitt won the 2019 DAR Scholarship, which came with a $500 check from the Daughters of the American Revolution. She wrote an essay on the Equal Rights Amendment. In the essay, she said, “Women should not be given less opportunities or respect than their male counterparts because of their gender, and salaries should be equal across the board for each position within the company … This is not a political issue and should not be viewed as such. This is about universal human rights.” Lovitt grew up in Buckeye and graduated from Youngker High School in 2016. She is a first-generation college student. Currently, she is attending the University of Arizona and will graduate in December 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in nursing. After graduation she plans to specialize in oncology and later work as a travel nurse. Above: Gina Ragsdale, chairwoman of the Scholarship Committee, presents Lovitt with the award.

Southwest Ballet Theatre, in partnership with Estrella Mountain Community College, is seeking angels, mice and more for all four performances of its fifth annual “Nutcracker” production. Student dancers are invited to audition from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Saturday, September 7, at the Performing Arts Center, 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale. “The Nutcracker” is set for Thursday, December 12, to Sunday, December 15, at the Performing Arts Center. “This is a wonderful opportunity for student dancers to share the stage with professional guest artists,” said Tim Butterfield, EMCC coordinator of fine arts facilities. The partnership between EMCC and SWBT allows for revenue sharing. EMCC waives all facilities fees for SWBT and the ballet company pays all personnel fees as well as gives EMCC a percentage of box office sales. “Through the partnership, EMCC students are able to see the shows for free while PAC student workers are given real-world production experience,” Butterfield said, adding that SWBT creates the artistic content, such as choreography and interpretation, as well as the costumes for productions
and EMCC creates and provides all other technical aspects of the production, including scenery, lighting, audio and props. EMCC has used the revenue for productions and equipment for the PAC. In the 2018-2019 academic year, the revenue sharing expanded to include scholarships. In May at a performance of SWBT’s “Coppélia,” the first annual Southwest Ballet Fine & Performing Arts Scholarship in the amount of $2,000 was awarded to an EMCC student. Revenue from the partnership will also be used to replenish the Fine & Performing Arts Scholarship established by the Kiwanis Club. “The Nutcracker” is supported in part by the Arizona Commission on the Arts, which receives support from the state of Arizona and the National Endowment for the Arts. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, October 1. Auditioning dancers must reserve a space and pay an applicable fee online before auditioning. All information, including fees, dress code and ballet class requirements, can be found at southwestballettheatre.org/performances/auditions. Adults with dance or acting experience who are interested in participating in this year’s production are encouraged to contact Southwest Ballet at admin@swballet.org.

Hemp Gummies Shown To Relieve Discomfort
Hemp Gummies offer users fast acting relief from joint and muscle discomfort that’s absolutely delicious; now available in the U.S. without a prescription Chris Laufstein Associated Health Press BOSTON — For millions battling daily discomfort, this news couldn’t be more exciting. A new relief extract found in hemp is available across the nation and can be purchased without a prescription. And the best part, it comes to users in the form of a tasty gummy bear. So you can say goodbye to pills, needles, and creams! Hemp Gummies, contains pure concentrated doses of hemp extract, which can help relieve joint discomfort along with general muscle aches and soreness. It also calms, relaxes, and eases tension all over the body. Exciting new scientific research shows that hemp extract contains special relief molecules called cannabinoids which bind to receptor cites in the brain and body. When taken orally, hemp extract activates these receptors, and soothing comfort begins to take form.
Available Across the Nation Recent developments, like the US Farm Bill, allow Hemp Gummies to be sold in the U.S. without a prescription. And since it can’t get you high it’s flying off the shelves. “Most people have no idea that pure hemp extract, like Hemp Gummies, can be purchased. And that’s because it contains no THC,” explains Dr. Joe Wezensky, who sits on the scientific board at Medici Quest. “Instead, it’s bursting with special relief compounds called cannabinoids. These cannabinoids target special receptor cites all over the body but are most prominent in the brain.” “This system of cannabinoids and the receptors that they bind to are called the Endocannabinoid System and science is just now unlocking its amazing medical potential” “In fact, the initial research has been so impressive that hemp extract is now patented by the US Government (patent #6,630,507).” “It’s also being used by athletes in the NFL, MMA among other physically demanding sports as a safe alternative.”
Clearing Up the Confusion Around Hemp One of the biggest mistakes people make when talking about hemp extract is mixing it up with marijuana. Although the two fall under the same plant category, cannabis sativa, they have completely different effects on the body. Remarkably, hemp extract is available in the U.S. and can’t get you high (ever!). That’s because there is no THC in it, the chemical that
makes you feel “buzzed”. “Although you can’t get high from Hemp Gummies, you can start feeling the effective relief,” explains Wezensky. “Most people have very low cannabinoid levels, which is why they constantly ache. Hemp Gummies boosts cannabinoid levels extremely fast, helping relieve lingering joint discomfort ...muscle tension...and general soreness. It also eases stress and elicits amazing relaxation without feeling impaired. And what most people really love is they’re delicious and so easy to take on the go.
How it Works Clinical studies show that cannabinoids and the receptors that they bind to are found all over your body. However, they are most concentrated in your brain. That’s why it has such a profound impact on how you feel, especially your level of comfort.
A GUMMY A DAY TO KEEP ALL YOUR ACHES AWAY: Hemp Gummies a 5 milligram dose of Hemp Extract that works all day to keep you comfortable.
These cannabinoids and their receptors work like “lock and key” and bind to each other triggering important biological processes.
pharmaceutical companies are currently testing hemp extract in clinical settings, which means it may require a prescription in the future. It’s advised to get Hemp Gummies while you can.
Hemp Extract, like Hemp Gummies, may help users with... • Aching joints • Sore muscles • Cramping • Leg and foot discomfort • Restlessness • Stress • Sleep problems Keeps Your Body Balanced... The incredible impact cannabinoids have on your health is directly related to the primary goal of your Endocannabinoid System, which is to maintain a balance in the body, a physiological state known as homeostasis. Research shows that maintaining this balance is a key to vitality and healthy bodily function.
Taking All the Risk Off Consumers A large percentage of men and women using Hemp Gummies experience truly amazing results. That’s why it’s now being sold with a guarantee that goes way beyond the industry standard. “We can only make this guarantee because we are 100% certain our customers will be satisfied,” says Wezensky. We want to take full risk off consumers. So in addition to offering substantial discounts for first time customers, we also make them a huge promise that ensures they don’t have to risk a cent.” Here’s how it works: Take Hemp Gummies exactly as directed and you must be thrilled with the results! Otherwise, simply return the empty bottles within 90 days. Then, the company will refund your money plus give you an extra $10 for having tried the product.
Where To Find Hemp Gummies This is the official nationwide release of Hemp Gummies hemp extract in Arizona. And so, the company is offering a special discount supply to anyone who calls within the next 48 hours.
The cannabinoids found in Hemp Gummies, hemp extract, replenish your levels quickly, easing discomfort over the entire body.

Harold Ray Edgemon II
Harold Ray Edgemon II was born on December 7, 1977, and passed away on September 13, 2018. “Bro” as he was lovingly known in our family, passed too soon at the age of 41. Born to Harold and Sandy Edgemon, Bro was the son they always wanted. He was welcomed by three sisters who doted on him as any favorite son should be and he relished every minute of it. Bro attended Buckeye Union High School and learned to weld like his dad. He loved riding motorcycles, being outdoors and living life fast and fun. Bro adored his family and was deeply affected by the passing of his father when he was only seven years old. Sandy did her best to be both mother and father to the "family," her untimely passing also left Bro untethered for a time. Bro enjoyed being around his family, making them laugh and always had a watchful eye to make sure everyone was ok. Bro is survived by his sisters Lisa Klene and Brandy Edgemon. His youngest sister, Andrea, passed away earlier this year. Bro, your wild spirit is now free and we rest in the knowledge you are now reunited with your mom and dad. Rest in peace; we miss you. A memorial service for Bro will be held September 7, 2019 at 10:00AM at Ganley’s Funeral Home, 104 E Baseline Rd. Buckeye AZ. A private reception will follow for family and friends.
