Tartesso Elementary School Principal Liz Burton is touched by the parental involvement at her Buckeye educational facility. But it wasn’t until the school kicked off Watch D.O.G.S., or Dads of Great Students, with an August 22 pizza party that she became emotional. Before the program, only one father regularly attended Tartesso’s events. On this evening, about 120 father figures made their mark. “It brought tears to my eyes when they showed up through the door,” she said. Watch D.O.G.S.’ goal is to encourage father and father-figure involvement by asking them to volunteer at the school at least once a year. Burton called the program “an amazing opportunity.” Volunteers wear Watch D.O.G.S. shirts adorned with nametags, and they welcome students to the school. Then the children announce the Watch D.O.G. of the Day during Tartesso’s morning announcements. They also work alongside the faculty as crossing guards, car/bus rider facilitators, hall monitors, library assistants, lunchroom

Avondale Police boosts social media presence By Connor Dziawura

There is more to policing than just enforcing the law. This is a sentiment echoed by the Avondale Police Department, which has been increasing its efforts to connect and engage its citizens via social media. For the past three years, the department has been working to strengthen its influence to its more than 10,000 followers. “I think there’s a couple of goals,” said Sgt. Thomas Alt of the Avondale Police

Department about the social media efforts. “Transparency through the department, humanizing police, showing the personal side of us. We’re not just enforcing laws. There’s a human side to policing as well.” But how can the department get important information to its followers while still being relatable to citizens? This is a question posed by Katrina Armstrong, community services supervisor for the Avondale

Police Department, when planning the department’s approach to social media. The department accomplishes this with a blend of real news information, pop culture humor and relevant subjects. Photos poking fun of donuts and selfies are just some of the sillier subjects the department tackles. When the city “added” Iroh,

its drug-sniffing bearded dragon, the April Fool’s Day joke went viral. The department is also well known for its videos, even having taken part in the Running Man Challenge. “A lot of times when we deal with the public, people call us because they’re having problems,” said Officer Ray Emmett. “So, we’re dealing with them on the worst day of their life or when something really bad happens. That’s when they call us. So, this is a positive way for us to interact with them, where they’re not calling us with a bad day but we’re having a positive interaction and getting information out.” The humorous and serious social media posts are the best ways to break down the barrier between law enforcement and the public. But while the department wants to have fun with it, this isn’t intended to obscure other important topics. Shootings, traffic collisions and natural disasters are just some of the essential information that the department would prioritize. “It’s a way for us to control our own stories,” Armstrong said. “That when information is put out about either what is or isn’t happening with the department, we’re the ones putting that out there. It’s that actual piece of saying to the community, ‘This is what we’re doing.’ So, that trust can be there. We’re not hiding behind someone else telling what we do here and how we do it.” The social media team consists of 12

presentation,” said Waid, a father of three. “I think it’s a great program to get fathers involved and be a part of their lives, especially in today’s society with all the movie stars and athletes. Fathers really are the heroes of these kids.” He added that children should have a wider variety of role models than celebrities. Reagan loves having him around, too. “I think it feels good because your dad is at recess and can help you with your homework.” The Watch D.O.G.S. program began in Arkansas in 1998 and has since spread to about 6,450 schools worldwide. There are 30 participating schools in Arizona. Studies by the U.S. Department of Education found

volunteers from a variety of different positions within the department. “We have lieutenants, sergeants, officers and civilian supervisors, so it’s a mix,” Armstrong said. “It is a very balanced mix of everybody in the department. You have everybody represented in there, which is kind of cool.” The team and the chief meet monthly and have fun with it, bouncing ideas around to see what sticks. “A lot of times what is sometimes our craziest idea is actually the idea we go with,” Armstrong said. “We almost do a free brainstorming concept where we’ll sit in the room and Chief will say, ‘OK, what ideas do you guys have?’ “The mantra of the meeting is no idea is a bad idea,” she added. While there are many different social media platforms, Facebook is the predominant choice for the Avondale Police Department. Twitter may be the fastest way to get information to the public, but Facebook is best for engaging the community and uploading planned videos, Alt said. In the last year alone, the department’s Facebook followers jumped from around 1,800 to more than 10,000, Armstrong said. “We all enjoy it, and we do it because we really like where we’re working. We like our citizens. And how else to make it better than something fun to do? And if we get the opportunity to support our citizens in a different light outside of police work, why not?” Alt said. that a positive adult male role model will have a uniquely positive impact on children’s development and educational success. The benefits of Watch D.O.G.S. are many, Burton said. It helps reduce bullying and makes the buildings safer. Not all students are fortunate enough to have a male role model at home, so the program gives them someone to look up to at school. Burton credits her faculty and community for the positive response to Watch D.O.G.S. She said she thinks it’ll make a “huge difference in the community.” Waid praised Burton and her faculty’s work saying, “For a small school like Tartesso, it has an excellent faculty. Liz Burton has done a great job with the school and she is engaged with the students.”

The cities of Surprise, Peoria, El Mirage and members of Team Luke participated in the Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC) providing hands-on, realistic training. “This is the first time we have taken multiple agencies outside the scope of the academy to assist one another with this type of training,” said Sgt. Chris Culp, El Mirage Police Department. “The training is very valuable by using the resources and networking with the other departments. Not every agency has these capabilities so teaming up with everyone makes this unique.” The course included different segments of backing, braking, pursuit driving and high-risk stops all of which increase the survivability and safety of the agencies involved in emergency vehicle operations. “We try to encourage our security forces members to get out and get involved with our local police officers as much as possible,” said Staff Sgt. Ryan Kneafsey, 56th SFS unit trainer. “This allows us to build upon skills we have been taught and helps us to respond to any potential situations we might encounter on base.” The training was in late August and several other sessions are scheduled. “Everyone benefits from this training,” Culp said. “Not only will the neighboring agencies and Luke Air Force base benefit, but the surrounding communities will as well. This training could not have been done without the cooperation of Luke Air Force Base and the local departments.”

n POLICE BRIEFS By West Valley View staff Seeking help in Waddell

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is seeking the public’s help in identifying those who vandalized cars in Waddell’s Cortessa Community on August 28. Deputies responded to several cars with smashed windows and slashed tires at 5 a.m. The MSCO is looking for witnesses in the Cortessa and White Tanks Foothills neighborhoods, north and south of an area bounded by 180th and 186th avenues. Investigators are particularly interested in speaking with residents who had security cameras operating from 1 to 4 a.m. The MCSO’s number is 602-8761011.

Fire departments come together for rescue

A 30-year-old female hiker was rescued from Skyline Park, 2600 N. Watson Road, Buckeye, August 23 after she was lost around Quartz Mine

Trail with little water, according to Capt. Tommy Taylor with the Buckeye Fire Department. Technical rescue teams from Buckeye, Phoenix and Peoria helped with the incident. The command staff contacted her via cellphone, and she said she could meet the recon team. She eventually fell ill, so the Buckeye team deployed the “big wheel” stokes basket and transported her from the mountain. The woman was treated for heatrelated illness but did not require a hospital visit.

Hit-and-run suspect sought

The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is still looking for a driver who killed a man on Dysart Road, just south of Camelback Road, around 4 a.m. August 18. The victim, a black male in his 60s, was found in the northbound lane. Witnesses are asked to call the MSCO at 602-876-1011.

Texas ﬂooding prompts call for blood donors By West Valley View staff

Hurricane Harvey and its associated flooding are impacting the nation’s blood supply. The AABB Interorganizational Task Force on Domestic Disasters and Acts of Terrorism is urging eligible donors across the country to give blood as soon as possible to help ensure patient blood needs can be met. To donate at any United Blood Services donor center or blood drive in Arizona, visit www.BloodHero. com or call 1-877-UBS-HERO (1-877827-4376). An Arizona donor center is at 14270 W. Indian School Road, Goodyear. In the wake of the storm, many blood drives have been canceled and donor centers closed in the affected areas. United Blood Services needs the community’s help to ensure a safe and adequate supply. Appointments are recommended

Triathlon helps kids fight obesity

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 6, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

to enable United Blood Services to effectively manage the blood supply, as well as the number of donors. Individuals who are as young as 16 years of age (with parental consent), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in general good health may be eligible to donate blood. As part of Blood Systems Blood Services Division, United Blood Services is part of a multistate system of blood centers. This network works in tandem moving lifesaving donations throughout the system to help ensure blood is available when and where it’s needed most.

When Jeffrey Gill returned home from deployment in Germany, he noticed one thing: the problem with obesity among children. “When I got out of the army and became a lawyer, I wanted to give back to society,” he said. “One thing that really shocked me after living in Europe for three years was the problem of childhood obesity in America.” So he founded a children’s triathlon to introduce children to four sports: triathlon, swimming, running and bicycling. The Verrado Kids Tri is set for Saturday, September 16, at The Center on Main, 4239 N. Village Street, Buckeye. It started in Estrella, but he relocated the event to Verrado when he moved there. “The event was developed and is targeted for kids ages 4 to 16,” Gill said. “They can comfortably come from any sport or background and complete a triathlon. The different distances are

all extremely manageable, but they’ll challenge the kids.” The race fee is $32.50, which includes race and sign-up fees. Proceeds go to local schools. To register, visit trisignup.com before 5 p.m. Thursday, September 14. Participants will receive a swag bag with healthy snacks, water at the finish line and finishers’ medals. “I want to show kids that anything is possible,” said Gill, who has two children, ages 11 and 12. They participate in triathlons as well. “There are some kids who are hurting, but you bring them in and support them. Just like life, endurance sports is 90 percent mental. As long as you work hard don’t give up, they’ll be amazed at the progress they make. They say, ‘I never thought I could do this. Thank you.’ It’s the best thing I’ve ever done. It’s great to see them cross the finish line and get a metal.”

KOTERRA’S OPINION — Omaha World Herald

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A monument? No thanks Editor: I was thinking I was going to write a letter to the editor in regard to Mr. Posner and Mr. Azzurello, but Ms. Rivas now has included me in the same category! The way I see it, Mr. Posner is all about facts! OK, that’s fine. Mr. Azzurello is all about ideals! This is OK, too. My guess is that Gordon is a Democrat and Ray is a Republican. In my youth, I was a Democrat, though with Clinton in, I changed to a Republican. Here in my senior years, a young lady has included me in with Gordon and Ray. I’m not sure whether I’m being honored or degraded? The Sierra Estrellas are just beautiful the way they are! We don’t need our faces on them nor anyone else’s. My first graduation was from Liberty Elementary School, then Buckeye Union High School. This was followed by graduation from Glendale Community College, then on to ASU with a graduation. Because of the administrations where I taught, I have 38 hours beyond my BA, but no MA. Ms. Rivas, my guess is that you are about 13 years younger than my youngest son. This doesn’t mean you aren’t sharp. It just means you don’t have as much life experiences as someone who is twice your age – or more. Bernard Oviatt Salome

Opposition in Washington Editor: Watching the events unfolding over the past eight months – basically our newly elected president versus most of the Washington elite – makes you stop and wonder just why he is being met with so much opposition. His own party refuses to go along with the policies that both he and most of them ran on in recent elections. Then remember his promise to “drain the swamp.” Well, most of these politicians are the swamp and they are not planning to go anywhere. When our former congressman Matt Salmon was interviewed on a local radio program shortly before he resigned, he was asked how many in Congress had the best interests of the public in mind, as opposed to their

own best interests. He replied, “About 2 percent.” So, in his opinion, about 10 members throughout the House and Senate really give a hoot about the American people. These people don’t want outsiders playing in their sandbox because, instead of being filled with sand, it’s full of money, money supplied by lobbyists. I have no interest in trying to verify the number, but some time ago, I read that lobbyists spend about $9 billion in Washington each year. Tempting. I could go on and on, like many others who contribute to the West Valley View, but because this is my first, I’ll end it here. Gary Byrne Avondale

School tales Editor: Liberty School District and the True Story of the Three Little Pigs: This story remarkably reminds us that there are always several sides to a story. While we all think the three little pigs were innocent in the matter, this story opens your eyes to the truth or, as the wolf says, “I was framed.” As a past teacher serving the last 14 years in the district, I feel it is time to hear from a side you never get to hear from: the teachers. And why, you ask? Board policy prohibits it, and if you are brave enough and dare to speak up, you are slapped with the catch-all “unprofessional conduct” letter. When I look at what is going on between Dr. Rogers and the community members he refers to as a “special interest group,” it is clear something’s not right. Who knows where Mrs. Larson’s bread is buttered (“Communicate to solve problems,” August 16)? She seems to be the only one who has come forward in support of Dr. Rogers, outside his letter of support from the board that he wrote himself, and Principal Sharon Marine, who also knows the mutual feeling of returned favors in the form of unfair educational spending on her IB program. This school’s enrollment has declined consistently over the years. Still, Dr. Rogers placed seven additional teachers there, spends $30,000 to IB to secure the elite program title, paid $20,000 for two teachers to coordinate the programming on top of their salaries, and funded two Spanish teachers required by IB, which gives

their teachers extra prep time that no other teachers get. No other campus in the district receives the same kind of funding. Board members have requested a breakdown of spending school by school, but Dr. Rogers has yet to deliver this request. When and if it is provided it will be easy to see that we are not doing “great work for all kids,” only some kids. Mrs. Larson speaks of the need for communication and states that people are being bullied, ridiculed and threatened. I will 100 percent agree with her. Dr. Rogers is doing that and has for many years. I can count seven principals in the last 10 years who have been pushed until they break and resign because of his bullying tactics. I have lost count of the number of teachers he has done the same to. As matter of fact, I am one of them. He is right when he told the media that he has “never fired anyone.” How many have you run out? That is the question that needs to be asked. So, what has stoked these concerned people to come forward many wonder? I will tell you, they want what Dr. Rogers has promised: “a world-class education for each and every student, regardless of their circumstances.” They have tried to communicate with no resolve and their children continue to be harmed because he ignores law that is set forth to protect their children. This law is what began my troubles with the superintendent. I am a whistleblower because for years I have watched this group of students be slighted and have gone unserved according to ARS 15-779. I have done my due diligence to report this to my superiors and, ultimately,

Dr. Rogers, who has the control and authority to do something about it with no resolve. So, yes, they have every right to question his “character, professional reputation, decision making and his motives” because it has hurt children for years. This newly appointed board member is up there doing her job for the people. She is asking the hard questions others have rubber-stamped. Just to be clear, many of the members of the board have been appointed, but appointed by Dr. Rogers. This is the first time in a long time that a county superintendent has done their job to interview and select the best fit candidate. So, in conclusion, Mrs. Larson, this all could have been solved at every level with communication and transparency of the superintendent and I also believe you are correct in stating “the Liberty School District would be very different without Andy Rogers leading it.” As a matter of fact, it would be amazing, because no one would live in fear to speak up for what is right for all students without the fear of being bullied.

KEY WEST, FLORIDA – Economists like to chatter in eggheaded ways about something they call “the misery index,” which combines the unemployment rate and inﬂation to rank how Joe Bagodonuts is doing walletwise. Me, I prefer to measure misery in terms of weather – as in, exactly what constitutes the most miserable weather conditions known to man? Hint: It is not a dry heat, people. Sure, all week the Valley felt like camping inside the 900-degree oven at your nearest Capitol Grille. Record desert heat does rank high on the misery index – like somewhere between listening to an entire Justin Bieber song and eating a bad clam – but it still isn’t the worst possible state to support human life as we know it. That miserable title belongs to the fetid, muggy hell that is Florida. Why, you ask? Because humidity, that’s why. The word “humidity” actually derives from the French term “humide,” which, loosely translated, means “yoo meaned people actually live in the

Except, alas, I kept finding reasons to go outside into the oppressive Florida afternoon, not unlike the Democrats recounting the electoral votes from back in November and hoping for a different result this time. Nope, Trump is still president. And Florida is still Hell – except that Hell probably has better drivers. The moral here? Sure, Arizona broke all sorts of weather records over the past few days. Epic heat can be dangerous, and it has the capacity to make you very miserable. But I will take roasting on a 122-degree afternoon any time versus needing to be wrung out like a dishrag after enduring an hour of Florida weather that feels like the steam room at LA Fitness. Just remember, friends, as annoying as it is to hear someone say, “But it’s a dry heat,” no human being ever has announced with a glorious grin and a song in his heart, “Hey, at least it’s a wet heat!”

Business Briefcase

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, everyone, and welcome to another week of Business Briefcase. Summer is approaching its end and fall is nearly upon us, so plenty of announcements are coming your way in the business world. Whether it is a new business or important city plans, or from Halloween events to business seminars, it is likely business owners and West Valley residents can ﬁnd something worthwhile approaching in the coming months. Marketplace Collaborative, a new indoor farmers market, celebrated its grand opening on August 26. The market, located at 13735 W. Auto Drive, Suite 112, Goodyear, is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturdays. The indoor venue provides a great way for Valley residents to support their local businesses and stay out of the sun. For more information, or to become a vendor, visit marketplacecollaborative. com/market. Buckeye’s Economic Development Department is looking for residents to participate in a survey. The questionnaire, which can be found at BuckeyeAZ.gov, will allow participants to voice their opinions on the city’s needs for future businesses and services. Participants can also enter a drawing, where three winners will be awarded a $50 gift certiﬁcate to a Buckeye retailer. The city of Goodyear released its Dollars & SENSE Fiscal

Management and Priorities 20172018 pamphlet. Noting its recognition by the U.S. Census Bureau as the 14th fastest-growing city in the country, Goodyear shows it is facing moderate overall revenue growth and has accomplished many feats in the past fiscal year. One new goal for 201718 is to implement a new financial system. This will provide more online access for services for residents, as well as more transparency. The city also wants to create incentives to attract more businesses to the area. The Cleveland Indians are planning an expansion of the Goodyear Ballpark, the cost of which will not affect the city. Changes to Goodyear Branch Library hours, InFocus magazine scheduling and city recreation are just some of the other planned changes in the upcoming year. The full issue can be found at GoodyearAZ.gov. AT&T recently upgraded 12 cell towers in the Southwest Valley as part of its continued effort to improve service for customers. The newly upgraded 4G LTE towers span Goodyear, Buckeye, Avondale, Tolleson and Litchfield Park. This upgrade aims to give customers faster speeds for many uses, including social media and network connectivity. This follows $425 million in investments by AT&T in Phoenix networks between 2014 and 2016. Cardinal Glass is nearing

completion on its construction of a new manufacturing facility. Located at Southern and Apache in Buckeye, the facility is approximately 300,000 square feet, with plans to employ a minimum of 100 workers. Upon the facility’s launch, Cardinal Glass will hold a grand opening ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, September 21. The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce will host Business & Breakfast from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, September 26, at Estrella Mountain Community College’s Estrella Conference Center. Featuring speaker Daniel Cruz, executive director and founder of Biltmore Media, this seminar and breakfast is a great way for local businesses to get the scoop on strengthening their presence on social media and other internet platforms. The Haymaker Restaurant Company will provide breakfast. Cost of entry is $20 for chamber members and guests, as well as $30 for nonmembers, but as seating is limited, pre-registration is required. The city of Buckeye is running a Catalyst Program, a machine grant program that allows the city to offer up to $25,000 toward improvements for local businesses. Paint, landscaping and other structural or superﬁcial improvements are just some of the recommended uses of the money given to selected businesses. The annual

Dentist Forrest Noelck follows in father’s footsteps

When Forrest Noelck was a child, he visited his father at his dental office. “Take Your Child to Work Day” was so important to Alan Noelck that he would have a catered lunch and interesting cases. “I thought that was how it was every day in the office,” Noelck said with a laugh. “That was the only exposure I had to it for a while. I would pop in for those and go as a patient, of course. I never thought about being a dentist.” That changed his sophomore year at ASU when he went on a hike with his dad. “I asked him one time, ‘What do you like about being a dentist?’” said the 27-year-old alumnus of Westview High School in Avondale. “He talked to me for a little bit, and what his day-to-day was like. I asked him about how he keeps up with changing trends in dentistry.” Noelck was convinced that he had to follow in his father’s footsteps. After schooling and a handful of residencies, he joined his dad’s practice on July 31. “It’s been a long time coming, but something I never thought would happen,” he said. The journey to his father’s dental practice is an interesting one. He moved to Colorado for dental school, based on his love of hiking and skiing. While there, he worked for a variety of community clinics before heading to Portland, Oregon, for a general prac-

tice residency at the VA. “With that, I got a lot of experience across all aspects of dentistry,” Noelck said. Working at the community clinics and the VA gave him the experience and confidence he needed to join his father’s practice. He admitted that he felt uncomfortable going straight from dental school to the Litchfield Park practice. Noelck likes the importance that his father and his staff place on patients. They take the time to get to know clients and what they want. “They aren’t trying to push Forrest Noelck worked in Guatemala on children who through as many patients as had never seen a dentist.

Millennium eyes state title with strong returning group 14

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 6, 2017

By Casey Pritchard

The Millennium girls golf team had its shot at a state title denied by inclement weather in last year’s Division I tournament. With a strong crop of returning players, the Lady Tigers are ready to give it another chance. Four of the five players who competed at the 2016 state tournament are back, and all four finished in the top 13 individuals at state. All GIRLS four might have finished even higher had rain and lightning not washed away the remainder of the second day of competition. Millennium’s players started their round and were playing well, but once the rains hit, the tournament was halted and final standings reverted to the first day of competition. “It was terrible,” said Millennium coach Vicki Turrell of the weather November 3 at Aguila Golf Course in

Laveen. “Most people still get in two days, even if you have to go back the next day, and I think if that happens again, I’ll fight for that, because it changed some of my girls from the top 10.” Millennium’s players were scoring well at the start of their second round, but because not everybody was able to complete 18 holes, nothing counted. GOLF “The second day was going better for them, and they were in the top 10, then they went back to everything from the first day, so it moved some kids around,” Turrell said. She described the storm as having multiple lightning strikes and slanted rain. “Everybody just wanted to be done,” Turrell said. “I would probably fight for my girls and say we need to come back, or we should wait it out, whatever

we needed to do to finish it out. Who knows what could have happened? Golf can change pretty quickly.” Despite the tournament ending prematurely amidst the Lady Tigers’ strong Day 2 start, Millennium finished third as a team. Ava Smith, who is now a junior, tied for eighth by shooting 77. Madeleine Laux shot 77, too. Smith is no longer on the team. Mikayla Sgrillo and Carly Strole both shot 79 to tie for 13th place. They are both sophomores. All told, Millennium had five players at state last year, three freshmen and two sophomores. One of the state contenders did not return this year, but Turrell has a senior, Ashley Hill, who’s played all four seasons at Millennium and will be in the top five this year. Playing at No. 1 for the Lady Tigers is Laux, but the top four are so strong that there’s always a battle for that spot, Turrell said. In fact, she’s going to play different girls at No. 1 all season so they all get the feel of competing against strong opponents. “You sometimes play better when you’re playing with the 1, 2 and 3s, so I want to give them all the opportunity to be in those spots and play with better golfers,” Turrell said. Millennium’s season is underway, and the Lady Tigers had a sneak preview of the state tournament course August 25 and August 26 while playing in the Nighthawk Invitational. The event, which is hosted by Tucson Ironwood

Ridge, was played at Omni Tucson National, which is the same place the state tournament will be this year. “I think it’s huge,” Turrell said of getting to play the state tournament course prior to state. “If you know a little bit of the layout, it always helps to know the next shot, or what you did last time maybe didn’t work as well. Because they don’t get like the pros do where they get to have a practice round before they play. We don’t get that opportunity, so it’s nice to always see as much as you can and be out there on the course.” Turrell said a couple of her players have already played Omni Tucson National before during junior golf, but this will give everyone on the team an opportunity to see the course. “Some of my kids write notes, some of them just do mental notes,” Turrell said. “A majority of them reflect on their round after the round.” Turrell said she hopes the experience will pay dividends come state tournament time. She even scheduled matches against tough schools in the division to allow her girls to face some of the better players in the state. “We’ll see Phoenix Xavier and Chandler Hamilton,” Turrell said. “That’s nice as well so my kids aren’t nervous when we see them (at state).” The state tournament is October 30 and October 31. Millennium’s next match is September 11 at Legend Golf Resort at Arrowhead in Glendale.

Litchﬁeld Park man to share heart health story

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 6, 2017

By Lori Baker

Don Ayers was the picture of wellness with a healthy weight and diet, normal blood pressure and cholesterol, and an active lifestyle that included scuba diving in two oceans. The Litchfield Park resident was stunned when pain shot down his left arm and across his shoulder blades. He resisted when his wife, Terez, said he needed to go to the hospital. He’d always thought these things happened to others. She insisted, gave him baby aspirin and drove him to Abrazo Community Health Network’s Abrazo West Campus in Goodyear. “I was amazed I was taken care of so fast,” Ayers said. “They did cardiac enzyme level tests and EKGs. The results showed a problem, but they said they had caught me before I had a heart attack.” Ayers needed emergency bypass surgery. An angiogram found blockage in four major coronary arteries. “I was terrified. I was trying to hide it but a nurse named Sarah saw right

through me,” Ayers said. He calls ICU nurse Sarah Gonzalez, RN, one of his “angels.” “Sarah stopped talking about what they were going to do, and instead took my hand and quietly said ‘Let’s talk about how you are feeling.’ She was so empathetic,” Ayers said. Ayers credits his other “angels”— nurses Amber Newbern and Miranda McMurry, and exercise physiologist Christine Spiel—with helping him regain his life. “People who haven’t been through heart surgery don’t understand how it affects you, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually,” the 56-year-old grandfather said. Ayers will share his story at a free public forum about cardiovascular health from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, September 15, to help raise awareness about heart disease, which is the No. 1 killer of men and women in the United States.

Arizona Restaurant Week marks major milestone

By Alison Bailin Batz

Arizona Restaurant Week is returning September 15 to September 24 and patrons will have much more than food to digest. “To celebrate 10 years of this spectacular event, we are giving diners a chance to win big with an exciting online contest featuring 10 experiential prizes that foodie and travel lovers will eat up,” says Steve Chucri, Arizona Restaurant Association president and CEO. “Some of them include a brewery tour and tasting with SanTan Brewing Co; a coffee roasting and cupping tour for 10 at CULT Coffee Roasters; and even a drone.” The 10-day eating extravaganza offers diners the opportunity to try three-course, prix-fixe menus at more than 60 Arizona restaurants for $33 or $44 per person. The goal is to position the Grand Canyon State one of the top culinary destinations in the nation, and to stimulate business and revenue. The Wigwam’s restaurants are taking part in the twice-yearly event. “The Wigwam is excited to be

participating again in the Fall Arizona Restaurant Week,” said Tim Roos, director of food and beverage at The Wigwam. “It provides a great opportunity to try a variety of dishes showcased at Litchfield’s, our farm-to-table, dinneronly restaurant, as well as Red’s Bar & Grill, which serves updated comfort food. Both restaurants are set in a beautiful resort setting.” Red’s menu will feature deviled eggs, fried pickles, loaded fries and spinach salad as shared appetizers; fish po’boy, chicken caprese, cobb burger and caliente pork burger for entrees; and ice cream sandwiches are dessert. Meanwhile, Litchfield’s will serve arugula (peach, blueberry, candied pecans, goat cheese and lemon vinaigrette), tomato bisque and duck confit as a starter; pappardelle, shrimp and chicken for entrée; and berry crisp or chocolate cheesecake for dessert. For a complete list of participating restaurants, visit arizonarestaurantweek.com.

Some packages include a complimentary glass of wine or beer. For participating restaurants, visit arizonarestaurantweek.com. They are indicated with a “B” next to their name. Similarly, venues with a “V” by their listing offer vegetarian options, “G” for

gluten-free alternatives and “C” if the prix-fixe menu is for a couple rather than per person. Patrons can also visit the website to enter the contest. The winner will be announced by October 1 and notified via email or phone.

Litchﬁeld Park plans authentic Oktoberfest celebration By Carson Mlnarik

The city of Litchfield Park is keeping its Oktoberfest authentic by transforming The Wigwam into a mini Germany for a day. The event is set for September 16, which is the opening day of the official Munich celebration. “It’s a nice tie-in to the German celebration, of course, and a great way to kick off the season in Arizona,” said Tricia Kramer, Litchfield Park’s special events coordinator. The city’s event draws close to 900 attendees on the resort’s front lawn. The Wigwam has been home to the celebration for the past 13 years. “It’s a great community event,” Kramer said. The festival, like any good fall party, will be filled with games, Dirndl dresses, lederhosen and Bavarian culinary classics. It doesn’t get much more authentic than the menu, which features more than just your average bratwurst. Offerings, prepared by The Wigwam’s culinary staff, include jagerschnitzel (breaded pork cutlet) and reiberdatschi (potato pancakes served with apple sauce).

For those with a sweet tooth, krapfen (German doughnuts filled with raspberry jam) will also be served. Other festival fare includes the slightly easier to pronounce soft pretzel and hot dog. Festivalgoers will be able to wash it down with a variety of brews. Paulaner lager, weizen and Oktoberfest will be available, as well as domestic beer and wine, ranging from $5 to $6. The family-friendly event features entertainment and activities like a kids’ zone with arts and crafts and pumpkin chucking. Children and adults can compete in the yodeling and best German outfit contests. The Phoenix Polka Band and a DJ will provide the soundtrack. Ticket proceeds benefit the Litchfield Park Recreation Department.

Avondale venue hosts Ben’s Bells fundraiser WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 6, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

When Kelly Meadows moved to the West Valley and laid eyes on Western Avenue in Historic Avondale, she fell in love. “It’s so different and such a unique place,” she said. “I always kept my eye on it.” She thought about rehabbing a building and leasing it, but she took a chance in October 2016 and opened BOONgarden, a community art, garden and coffee space. “I had just received my master gardener certification and I was into art,” Meadows said. “I wasn’t sure how I was going to support it, then I thought maybe coffee. I realized that craft coffee is a needed thing in the West Valley.” She and her staff learned everything they could about the different styles of coffee. Besides coffee, it is known for its hibiscus lemonade tea, created with the ﬂowers from its garden. Now, BOONgarden is working to help others. From 6 to 8 p.m. Friday,

September 15, it is hosting “Coffee and Kindness” benefit for Ben’s Bells, a nonprofit that creates and builds bells and leaves them to be found. The organization was founded to honor a young man who died and to inspire kindness. BOONgarden Guests are invited to paint Ben’s Bells beads and Kindness Coins while enjoying a coffee or meal. Reservations are not required for the free “Coffee and Kindness” event. BOONgarden is giving 20 percent of all food and beverage sales to Ben’s Bells. “Halfway through the event, they will give a little speech about the benefits of kindness and doing random acts for kindness,” she said. “Ben’s Bells will then take the parts and assemble them back at their gallery.” Meadows is planning on hosting more benefits. “Hopefully in the future, we can take this idea and run with our own version of it; something for Avondale,” she

said. “We’re thinking about painting rocks with a special message and putting them in people’s yard. I haven’t quite decided yet.” As for BOONgarden, she’s letting her staff work their magic. “We’re looking into roasting our own beans,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s really kind of a blessing that all four of

us are very dedicated and passionate. I give them free rein to explore the different things they want to pursue here.” BOONgarden 214 W. Western Avenue, Avondale 623-932-2240 boongarden.com

West Valley residents converged on Dr. Saide Recreation Center in Buckeye August 25 for the Quarter Auction, a cross between an auction and a raffle. Bidders pay a quarter per numbered bidding paddle and hope their number is drawn to win a variety of prizes. Items, ranging from decorative scented candles to sporting equipment, are auctioned off for 25 to 50 cents. Tickets were $3 and included one bidding paddle, refreshments and raffle ticket. 1.

Agua Fria Union provides 1:1 student tech devices By West Valley View staff

Avondale’s Agua Fria Union High School District recently completed a two-year project to provide one-toone technology devices for all 8,150 district students. Every student has the option to be issued a Chromebook that allows them to interface with electronic curriculum resources. Many of the student assignments are completed and submitted electronically to teachers via the devices. This not only saves on paper use but also allows for more efficiency with access to information and materials, editing and correction of work and quicker feedback for students and teachers. “Technology integration within the learning process continues to be one of the most visible changes to the classroom teaching and learning environment,” said Superintendent Dennis Runyan. This effort was made possible by the passage of a bond authorization during the 2015-16 school year. “Support from our community and local businesses have made the

difference for schools across the Southwest Valley,” Runyan said. Along with the one-to-one devices for students, the Agua Fria Union High School District has purchased a wide range of online curriculum resources for teachers. Therefore, they can dedicate more time to instruction and student success. “We have really transformed the way teachers use and access technology in the classroom,” said Grant Conway, curriculum director. “Another project that was part of the bond authorization is the expansion of bandwidth to improve accessibility and processing speed with the student devices. As Superintendent Runyan suggests, ‘With technology you’re always trying to stay ahead of the curve.” Agua Fria Union High School District serves more than 8,000 students in four high schools and one nontraditional high school. The Vision of the Agua Fria Union High School District is “All Students College and Career Ready.”
