Giese, who has over two decades of experience in automotive racing, began her position as Phoenix Raceway’s track president in 2018. She was a driving force behind the $178 million modernization project transforming the track into a contemporary facility, which was followed by her first race in November 2018 that saw sold-out crowds. Her proudest moment, however, was Phoenix Raceway’s historic first championship race in November 2020. The event gathered significant momentum and excitement due to NASCAR’s announcement of the race’s relocation to the Valley in March 2019. Although the original plans were affected by the pandemic, Giese and her team persisted. “We were still able to have a limited number of fans attend the race with us and we hosted it on schedule as planned,” she said. “So that was a significant moment,
Phoenix Raceway’s track president is shifting gears as she relocates from the Valley to a new event in Chicago at the end of 2022.
NASCAR announced Aug. 25 that its vice president of track marketing and the raceway’s president, Julie Giese, is departing for the Midwest to take the track president position at the recently established Chicago Street Course. In her four years at Phoenix Raceway, she grew motorsports’ presence in Phoenix and actively served her community. “I love living here in the Valley,” Giese said.“I love Phoenix Raceway, our fans, the team that we have here — absolutely, just a tremendous group. So, it made it really hard, it was a bittersweet decision and a bittersweet announcement that I would be departing at the end of the year to take on the role with the Chicago Street Course.”

To help establish stronger relationships between the school districts and community members, first responders and city entities hope to open up simulation“Weopportunities.believethat it’s everyone’s responsibility to be a part of this and to work together.

Organizers plan to build upon practices already in place and implement new technologies and opportunities to enhance school safety. They have created a planning group that is organizing a summit to convene again, which will feature speakers sharing their individual experiences and opportunities to brainstormCommitteesideas.will also meet and keep in touch with educators, staff and families while providing safety education for students throughout the year.
The key to fortifying and expanding its safety measures, according to Hargrove, is a strong connectivity and effective communication between students, staff, families, first responders and their surrounding communities. All entities must act in concert with one another in order for protocols and practices to be effective.
The safety coalition is the first to emerge in West Valley, consisting of superintendents, administrators and educators from the three districts. They collaborate with first responders and safety training professionals in their communities, which includes police and fire departments in Avondale, Goodyear, Buckeye, Agua Fria and Phoenix.“I’mincredibly impressed with the collaborative nature of our first responders anyway, but then to have a layer of that to have us all in the same room, it really informs all of us as far as what the expectations and responsibilities for each one of those organizations are,” Hargrove said. Despite the coalition’s youth, its organizers have already reached out to neighboring districts and first responders to be more inclusive and collaborative, expanding its reach to the entire span of Southwest Valley.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors will be responsible for appointing a replacement to fill out the remainder of Espinoza’s term. The Senate seat in newly drawn Legislative District 22 will be open to a write-in candidate“I’mvery excited,” Espinoza said. “It wasn’t something that was planned. I applied, on the May 29, had some communication and then didn’t hear anything. On Aug. 3, I received information that I am the candidate. I discussed that with my seatmate, Sen. (Lupe) Contreras, the opportunity that was presented and I wanted to take it.” He said it wasn’t a secret that he was looking to retire from politics after 21 years. Espinoza’s legacy is set. He recently announced $1.5 million in funding for mental health for the West Valley.“Ileave with very good examples of what we can be doing,” he said. “It’s a great time to retire. It’s been a team effort, but I’ve put my grain of salt toward the great state of Arizona.”

Buckeye was honored for its innovative work on the Wildlife Corridor Best Practices Guide, which ensures the city balances growth with the natural desert habitat. The guide was named as the winner in the master plan/project/study category by the Arizona Chapter of the American Planning Association recognizing its comprehensiveness, collaboration and quality. Wildlife corridors link at least two habitat areas together by allowing animals to move freely between them. Until this guide, little work had been done to develop best management practices for urban wildlife corridors that prioritize larger species such as mule deer, mountain lion and bighorn sheep. With the goal of maintaining existing biodiversity and connectivity while ensuring community prosperity, the guide takes the environment, growth and quality of life into consideration. By collaborating with key stakeholders in the community and studying over 40 wildlife corridor initiatives, one of the region’s first ever guides of its kind now offers the tools to successfully implement and manage wildlife corridors that can be used beyond the city of Buckeye. The Wildlife Corridor Best Practices Guide is part of the city’s Imagine Buckeye 2040 General Plan overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2018.

Think about this. The whole purpose of ginning up a Jan. 6 crisis and recently the unlawful raid at Mar-a-Lago and all the other manufactured crises (remem ber the now proven-to-be untrue Rus sian collusion hoax?) is to always have Americans reacting to conjecture and false or unproven claims. They keep people’s attention off the real issues of inflation, worsening crime, not prosecuting criminals and repeat of fenders, the open border with millions of illegal, unvetted immigrants flooding the country, homelessness, war spending with Ukraine, weakening our military and our supplies, sending our oil overseas, the takeover threats of China, the corruption in our current government administration and White House, Hunter Biden atroci ties, the president’s mental and physical decline causing incompetency and not being fit for the job, just to name a few.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS
I don’t know. Those of you who re main Trump haters and only view/listen to leftist/Democrat party zealots and spokesmen such as CNN, MSNBC, PBS, etc. and only read the paper or online versions of the NY Times, Washington Post, the Atlantic, and the like (of which there are many more) folks remind me of the three monkeys who have their hands clasped over eyes, ears and mouth—see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil. Except, by not opening your eyes and ears to the truth, the reality of the real evil is being perpetrated on you — on our nation and constitution — by the Demo crats who relish power and domination. You, my fellow Americans, whose eyes and ears are closed to the truth, are risk ing freedom and liberty—especially for our future generations.
Ponder this, did Donald Trump ever: 1. Pass a massive spending, taxation and climate change bill, which also weapon ized the IRS in the old Lois Lerner fashion and have the audacity to name and adver tise it “The Inflation Reduction Bill”? or 2. Take the FBI and use it to go after Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton’s residences? or 3. Go into the Department of Justice to collude a hoax against a former president and probable opponent in an upcoming election to continue a discredit campaign to prevent that opponent from becoming a candidate? and finally 4. Did any people who ever worked for Trump lie four times to a federal inves tigator and continue to lie repeatedly to media and the nation like former deputy director of the FBI Andrew McCabe? Or like former FBI Director Comey who bragged about his lies and preferential treatment of Hillary Clinton concerning her unauthorized and unsecured home government computer server that was hacked by the Chinese (and who knows else?), plus the 30K+ destroyed emails that implicated her guilt, plus her de stroying computer hardware and cell phones to hide culpability?

Saying that “Donald Trump and MAGA (Make America Great Again) Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our re public” is itself extreme. Did he just de clare war on all Trump supporters? By calling MAGA supporters semi-fascists and enemies of the republic one would think so.

OPINION people hiking in the Arizona desert during summer, dying and risking the lives of rescue personnel who they think will rescue them. This past week it was three people from out of state again, who couldn’t figure out that you can’t survive with just three bottles of water when you need a tanker truck of water to follow you on a hike in the middle of summer. What does it take for Arizona to ad vertise that all hikes are canceled during days of 95 or hotter? It’s outrageous to risk the lives of first responders to try to find some fool who actually thinks they can hike miles in 110 heat with a tiny bottle of water. Do your hiking only if you want to re turn home in a coffin and save our first responders for emergencies that are not on hiking trails! They have families who don’t do foolish things like hiking in the desert during high temperatures and we need them for the people who actually think. Another 60-year-old woman was res cued from Pacheco Peak. Why do senior citizens from the area think they can survive without rescue personnel in 107 temps? Is it that important to risk the lives of emergency personnel just be cause you don’t take a tanker truck full of water on your hike? Isn’t it bad enough that hundreds of illegals are found dead in the desert trying to cross the border illegally when they are not just hiking? If you want to become a mummy, go hiking in Arizona during summer. May be somebody will find you someday.
Schumer, and other Democrats, including Vice President Harris, also incited protes tors to demonstrate in front of the Justices homes, another federal felony crime, but only if you are a Republican, as Donald Trump realized after the millions of taxpay er dollars Democrats spent on the Jan. 6.

Treasury can manipulate those numbers for other programs, and leave IOUs in the Social Security Trust Fund that are backed by monopoly money. Social Security is projected to be in solvent by 2037. Maybe Grandpa and grandma won’t need it by then — but their grandkids might. The Democrat controlled Congress recently signed the $750 billion “In flation Reduction Act” into law by one senate vote. Kelly voted “Yea.” This act channeled $500 billion into green ener gy development, and bled Medicare for $300 billion to shore up the struggling Obamacare, and increase health care and other benefits for millions of illegal aliens who, unlike grandpa and grandma, never paid a penny into social security.
Kangaroo court, made for TV, show tri al. Mark Kelly, who claims to be a Catholic and who should be opposed to abortion, has attacked Republican senate candidate Blake Masters for his personal religious viewpoint that, opposes killing helpless living babies in the womb, unless the life of the mother, aka “birthing person” is at risk. Kelly ads also portray grandpa and grandma social security recipients wor rying that Masters would privatize So cial Security and invest their hard-earned retirement nest eggs in the stock market.

Mark Kelly and the Democrats ignore the damage their policies are doing and want to make this mid-term election all about abortion, and getting Trump be fore 2024. Really? What about stopping the bleed in this country? Runaway inflation, collapsing econo my, crime, illegal immigration, buying our energy from our enemies, a federal government controlled by oligarchs like George Soros, and China, that have the Biden administration, and Mark Kelly, in their grip, and are poised to take over this country? Mark Kelly represents just one vote in the U.S. Senate, but he votes with Democrats every time. Remove him from office, and we can begin to stop the bleed — while we still have a country.

Truth is that the stock market is doing much better, financially, than the Dem ocrat-controlled government, that has inflated the spending value of a dollar to the worth of monopoly money. An other truth is that Social Security and Medicare trust funds are nothing more than numbers on a U.S. Treasury ledger.
The recall Editor: March 28 I received a notice in the mail from KIA that the 2016 Sportage that I have taking such good care of is, in fact, a ticking time bomb. The notice from KIA stated, “That out of an abundance of caution my car can’t be inside of the garage or near any other cars for that matter and if the red engine light comes on I am to jump out of the car.” For over four months I have asking the dealership when are they going to get a fix in for my Sportage? Dealership is wait ing for corporate to send them the part. KIA Co. headquarters could of smooth my ruffled features with the right kind of informed people answering their phones. If you can get through to them, the people answering the phones all sound the same. It’s strange. They all talk in a low, slow voice like they don’t want any one to hear what they are saying. They give me the creeps. I always wanted to own a Mercedes, that being the car my husband’s secretary got in the divorce settlement. May they all rest in peace. I have owned KIA automobiles for the past 25 years. It may be my last.

When it was leaked that the U.S. Su preme Court was considering overturning Roe vs Wade, the Democrats in Washing ton saw an opportunity to distract Amer icans from the disastrous failures of the Biden administration, and make the midterm elections all about abortion.

Also known as the “Great Hunger,” close to a million Irishmen died, and over a million fled the country. In fact, in the 10 years from 1845 to 1855, more than 2 million people left Ireland. Many of them emigrated to the United States — including the ancestors of the current occupant of the White House. Undoubtedly, Joe Biden has the gift of blarney; he also has the curse of advancing age and retreating cognition. Whatever his intellectual challenges, a half-century on Washington’s political stage has endowed him with a reflexive muscle memory. That comes in handy when he slings rhetorical mud — and worse — at his opponents, but also in his single-minded quest for greater power.
Much to its collective editorial and administrative chagrin, the leftist radio “service” financed in part with the tax dollars of “nonlisteners like you,” found that a clear majority of 54% of Americans believe the border crisis is, in fact, an invasion. True to its “open borders ideology,” NPR sought to minimize the impact of the findings, and disparage the use of the term, claiming that “immigrant advocates say the word has a long history in white nationalist circles.” Then, for good measure, NPR allowed those same so-called “immigrant advocates” to demonize the legitimate concerns of American citizens, warning “that such extreme rhetoric could provoke more violence against immigrants.”
What cannot be omitted from the results of the NPR/Ipsos poll, conducted in late July with a sample of 1,116 adults, is the fact that 40% of self-identified Democrats — a sizable amount — agree with the 76% of Republican respondents about the border situation being best described as an “invasion.”
And independents, long regarded as swing voters, are fast approaching the “tipping point.” 46% of respondents with no party preference believe the term “invasion” offers an apt description.
It wasn’t exactly “small potatoes.” That was just part of it. It was small potatoes, diseased potatoes and, in some areas, no potatoes — all combined in “The Great Irish Potato Famine,” which was the scourge of the Emerald Isle from the mid-to-late 1840s.
America’s border takedown is more than ‘small potatoes’
Setting aside the routine “assault by euphemism” on the English language, describing the law-breaking border crossers by the legal term “immigrants,” it’s fair to question NPR’s insistence on framing this through the dubious premise that using the word “invasion” will somehow inspire violence against illegals.
J.D. Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. House from 1995-2007. He authored and sponsored the Enforcement First Act, legislation that would have mandated enforcement of Federal Immigration Law in the 109th Congress.
Ironically, one sign of Ol’ Joe’s perverse “progress” invokes the image of his ancestral home. The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) reads during the first 18 months of Biden’s time in the White House, over 4.9 million illegal aliens have entered our country. That’s equivalent to Ireland’s population! There’s only one word for it: invasion. That’s what National Public Radio discovered in a recent poll.
BY J.D. HAYWORTH West Valley View Columnist
16 WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 7, 2022OPINION
As our nation approaches the November midterms, one clear reality emerges. You need not live in a border state to find that Joe Biden’s approach to illegal immigration borders on insanity. Illegal immigrants from 200 countries from Mauritania to Mexico, Ethiopia to Ireland are pouring into America. And given the current situation, no thinking American would describe border issues as “small potatoes.”
One area where Joe and the rest of the Biden Bunch remain resolute can be found on our southern border… at least what’s left of it. The erasure of our national boundary, the erosion of our national sovereignty, and the eventual extinction of our nation itself appear within the grasp of this administration.
What of the violence committed by illegals against law-abiding Americans? Is that underreported, or worse, routinely omitted from NPR’s coverage?

An example: Not a day goes by that I don’t think about my father, who died in March last year in a strange hospice bed. I was 2,000 miles away when he passed, not there to hold his hand, not there to tell him one more time that I lovedHishim.mind was gone by then, and his body, too, addled by dementia, wracked with Parkinson’s disease. Did I do enough for him? Did he un derstand in those final moments how much I cared, how proud I was to be hisTheseson? questions still gnaw at me 18 months later, weighing down like heavy stones. This is the way I have come to define myself – as a bad son, selfish, broken in some profound way. My friend’s life was shaped by his great grandma, who in the days before her death exhorted him to get over her loss immediately and not one moment later.How long will you mourn me, she demanded? Three weeks, he suggested – because what do you say to such a question? She scoffed. “Life is for the living,” his great grandma insisted. “Life is for the liv ing.”Somewhere out there, one of you is carrying the Sisyphean weight of shame. Take it from someone who knows: Let it go, move on. We are never who we were once forever. Stories define us until they no longer do. Life is for the living, so live.

“I wish I had never written it,” he told us. “I wish I had never told that story.”The story concerns his being shot in Vietnam. He was 19 years old, 9,000 miles from home with his guts ex posed, courtesy of three enemy bullets. Once, that tale was a pillar of his storytelling arsenal, a testament to his ability to survive whatever life threw at him.
On this page, I offer some opinions, a few tales, but not much at all about the kind of man I am. Which, frankly, suits me fine. Be cause the truth is, I have shamed my self many times in my life, because I have failed to do right in moments that were difficult. These failures are things I have car ried with me no less tangibly than my wallet and car keys – and they’re much harder to lose.
No matter how hard it is, learn to let go
One of my dear friends, a men tor throughout my adult life, shocked me a few days ago with a confession. He is in his seventies now, among the wisest humans I know, an oracle of smart advice people pay vast sums to hear. The subject of one of his books arose – a self-help title that is on my bookshelf in a place of honor –and his face grew sullen.
17WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 7, 2022 OPINION
Now, almost 60 years later, he had a different perspective: He was no lon ger that person, and had not been for decades, almost since the moment he was shot. Rather than set down that story for the world to chew over, he wished instead he had made peace with the moment and moved on, as he has made peace with every tribulation ever since, including a stroke that has made walking difficult.

New to the Valley, Jeff Walters and his family acquired two Jimmy John’s restaurants in the Glendale area. They’re opening another in Buckeye on Friday, Sept. 9. “We have two stores that are open in Glendale already; We bought those from an existing franchisee,” Walters said.“So, opening a new store has been a new experience for us. But it’s been rewarding now that the finish line is in sight. I wanted my family and me to do something together and to have this business together.” The Walters hail from Michigan. They plan to permanently stay in Arizona to run these franchises and possibly“Rightexpand.now, my oldest son, Nick, and wife, Kelly, handle the day-to-day operations in the store. One of my older brothers will be moving down here and buying into the franchise management as well,” Walters said. As it is becoming more of a family affair, Walters is happy to have the time together and get to grow the franchise. “There have been some disagreements for sure, but I think for the most part we complement each other really well,” Walters said. “Everybody has a little part in making it a successful family-owned business.” While it is a family-run business, Jimmy John’s has standards of how its stores should operate. Walters is taking it to the next level and setting his three Jimmy John’s stores above the rest. “You really have to set yourself apart and have that atmosphere. We have a lot of customers that bypass maybe some closer franchises just to come to our store because they like the customer service aspect that we provide,” Walters said.
The family graciously welcomes guests into their restaurant and gives back to the community.
“The other thing that sets us apart is we are really involved in the communities that we do have the stores in, and we do a lot of giving back to the community,” he said. “Whether it’s supporting a local high school football team or a school’s band or the girl’s golf team, doing different fundraisers for different events is something we take upon ourselves to be that great pillar in the community because they support us.” Since he has owned the two pre-existing Jimmy John’s, he has done many fundraisers. They have collected money for Mountain Ridge and Deer Valley high schools as well as Bosom Buddies of Arizona, a breast cancer awareness group.“The breast cancer awareness fundraiser was something that we took on where we donated a certain fixed dollar per every sandwich we sold during a given day,” Walters said.

According to a statement, “Under rated Golf is a purpose-driven business endeavor with the overarching com mitment to provide equity, access and opportunity to student-athletes from every community by balancing partic ipation in the sport to truly reflect our society.”Over900 golfers aged 12-18 applied to the tour, and only 30 boys and 30 girls could participate. Participants then played in Chicago, Wickenburg, Houston and Tampa Bay. During the tour, players were scored based on how they placed at each location, and the top 12 boys and top 12 girls advanced to the tournament championship, The Curry Cup, in San Francisco.
Ashley finished the four stops of the Underrated Golf tour with a score of 460.83, which qualified her for the tournament championship, and she eventually placed first among the girls. “It just blows my mind that this is the biggest tournament that I’ve ever won,” Ashley said, “To be able to have that experience and to come home with the win. I couldn’t believe it. I was in shock.”

Buckeye veteran J.C. Reece served 22 years in the armed services, but in between tours in 1972, he experienced a hardship he will never forget.
Now disabled, Reece served almost 22 years between 1961 and 1993, 10 years in the U.S. Navy and 12 in the U.S. Coast Guard.
“It’s a great organization and the only paycheck a Shriner gets is the thank you and the hugs from the family and the children,” Reece said. “That’s our paycheck. That’s all that you need when you’re helping.”
gan, the number of donations started to slow even though the need for them is urgent.“So, I’ve received a lot from other people, but the donations seem to be dwindling with COVID and the increase in everything’s pricey,” Reece said. “People can’t give anymore and they’re holding onto what they got.” To try to combat that, many services have been created to help those in need, like the Central Arizona Shelter Services and Society of St. Vincent de Paul, which Reece has worked with. He has also worked with Veterans Assisting Veterans and the Shriners Hospital for Children. His work with the Shriners Hospital for Children has helped raise money and also bring donations to them.

To keep others safe and housed, Reece is collecting donations for others in the same situation.
“There are times when my wife and I make these bags up and we drive around, and we deliver them to people. People are so thankful, and you can see the smile on their face and in their eyes; they appreciate it.”

Reece and his wife, Veronica Ann, traveled to Utah in 2018 to join the Salt Lake City Shriners Hospital “Walk for Love” event. They raised nearly $2,000 going toward Shriners Hospital.Again, this year the pair will participate in the “Walk for Love” event and have already raised close to $2,500.
“I became homeless myself,” Reece said.“I was living underneath railroad bridges in railroad cars, and I was like that for almost two years. I know what it’s like to be homeless. I know what it’s like to be out there.”
Phoenix has been one of the fastest-growing cities in America, but that is in turn causing inflation, making it hard for some to afford living expenses. According to polls by the city of Phoenix, in 2020, there were 7,419 people experiencing homelessness. Between the years 2019 and 2020, those unsheltered raised 18%. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, be-
