WV boasts top master-planned communities By Wayne Schutsky

The West Valley is home to two of the nation’s best-selling master-planned communities as Goodyear’s Estrella and Buckeye’s Verrado each ranked in the top 30 on RCLCO Real Estate Advisor’s Top-Selling Master-Planned Communities Mid-Year 2017 report. Estrella made the largest leap of any community listed in the report. After ranking 50th on RCLCO’s 2016 yearend report with 270 homes sales, the development approached that total with 214 sales midway through 2017, good for the 29th spot on the mid-year report. “We are definitely experiencing an uptick in sales, and as of late July, Estrella’s sales are ahead year over year by more than 50 percent,” said Newland Communities Senior Vice President and Division Manager William Olson. Newland Real Estate Group is the developer. Verrado ranked 26th on this year’s list with 228 home sales after coming in at 20th on RCLCO’s year-end report with 413 total home sales last year. Verrado could make up that ground in the coming months and rank in the top 20 again by the end of 2017 because the community

tends to see a sales spike in mid- to late summer that is not reflected in the midyear report, said Lauren Charpio, Verrado’s marketing director. Verrado attracts moveup buyers and first-time buyers with its range of homes in the $100,000s to the high $500,000s, Charpio said. That spike is largely driven by families moving to the community before the start of the new school year. The schools in Verrado are a major draw for the community, which saw about half of its home Estrella resident Kim Doud, left, helped establish the Weststar Hill sales this year go to young Trail with Ken Hill, John Peters and Brian “Harv” Roberts.

Goodyear educator appointed as representative By Israel Gonzalez

When Geraldine Peten was appointed to represent Legislative District 4 in the Arizona House of Representatives, she thought of the positive impression she is making on her grandchildren. “I was ecstatic. I was honored,” Peten said. “It’s an incredible opportunity to impact change.” A Democrat and retired Goodyear educator, Peten took the oath of office for her position in late August after Jesus Rubalcava vacated his seat. She is one of only two African-American representatives in the State Legislature. She didn’t always think she would be

in the position she is in now, though. From being an educator, to learning to be politically active, Peten has always modeled dreaming big and promoted learning.

Educational background One thing Peten always knew was she wanted to be a teacher. “As a little girl, my mom was a teacher, my grandmother was a teacher and the only thing I ever thought of being was a teacher,” Peten said. “I think that there weren’t very many role models for AfricanAmericans in any other field. Again, what do they say, ‘The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.’ So, I became a teacher.”

Peten started her teaching career in her home state of New Jersey. She focused her teaching on work and real-world skills. “Basically, my core discipline has been vocational education,” Peten said. “I am a strong advocate for that. Teaching students to have marketable skills and skills that will help to improve the quality of their life and make themselves sufficient.” Peten moved to Arizona in 1992 and continued teaching and learning. She has earned several degrees, including a Master of Science degree from the Del E. Webb

Those schools, which are in walking distance of most homes, contribute to the small-town feel — a rarity in the Valley — that is drawing residents to Verrado. “It really does mimic a small town in that way, with small and large homes options and tree-lined streets,” Charpio said. Verrado resident Debbie Sailer agreed. As the Warm Welcome leader, Sailer helps welcome new neighbors with a freshly baked apple pie and information about the community. “Verrado provides an atmosphere of community togetherness filled with 78 parks and over 50 miles of walking paths that encourage people to get out of their homes, meet their neighbors and enjoy fresh air,” she said. “Unlike many communities, the design is to slow people down and enjoy the many amenities and community functions that are scheduled throughout the year that brings everyone together.” She also enjoys the 60 clubs that offer

Goodyear is planning its annual Getting Arizona Involved in Neighborhoods (G.A.I.N.) events on Saturday, November 4. To receive this year’s party planning kit and be on the official list for participating neighborhoods, groups need to register a G.A.I.N. before Friday, September 15.

As part of a national campaign that promotes community partnerships and camaraderie to make neighborhoods safer, G.A.I.N. offers an opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other better while engaging with members of the Goodyear Police Department and city officials. “The goal for these events is to

cultivate strong neighborhoods where people look out for each other,” said Christina Plante, Goodyear’s neighborhood services coordinator. “When you know your neighbors, you can better recognize and report suspicious activity, sending the message to criminals that we won’t allow that in our community.”

To learn more about organizing an event, anyone can download the free online planning guide. For more information on G.A.I.N. and Neighborhood Block Watch, visit goodyearaz.gov/blockwatch and goodyearaz.gov/gain or call Sgt. Alison Braughton at 623-882-7362 or Ofc. Jamie Benker at 623-256-2778.

campaigning for Barack Obama’s in 2008. “I felt that we really needed him as president,” she said. “He was going to be the first African-American president. And I certainly wasn’t going to sit on the side and wish and hoped and prayed that he became president. I joined the local campaign activities and headquarters and just started campaigning.” Peten worked hard and saw the fruits of her labor when Obama won the presidency. Peten carried the momentum forward and continued working for campaigns in 2012, 2016 and during midterm elections, she said. Peten was politically active locally in her district, too. That’s how she found out about the vacancy. As a

representative, she is focused on meeting the people in her district, which stretches from parts of Yuma to Buckeye and Goodyear. “I am a representative of my constituents, and my intent is to go out and visit, talk and listen to my constituents in all the areas,” Peten said. “I mean it’s a really large legislative district.” Peten’s positivity overlaps the district’s needs, she said. Education, immigration reform and lowering the incarceration rate will touch the lives of her constituents. “It’s not totally about my goals,” Peten said. “In serving (constituents) I also serve some of my own passions. But you really have to be a servant of your constituents and listen to them and see what their concerns are.”

I also believed if I’m going to learn something, I might as well get a degree or certification.” Peten served in multiple roles in her educational career, including principal and superintendent. She hopes to use her experience to help boost education in Arizona. “I’ve been an educator in this state for about 25 years,” Peten said. “And it’s just devastating and embarrassing… We just do not fund education. It’s not

Political background Growing up with a single mother and two siblings, Peten didn’t consider a political career. Peten’s mother worked two full-time jobs and because of the household’s time and conditions, her family wasn’t politically active. “We never really felt that AfricanAmericans had the ability to impact change politically,” Peten said. “So, it was never part of my family growing up. But as you get older, (you think), ‘When you know better you do better.’ You can’t complain about the problem unless you’re willing to be part of the solution.” Peten’s political career began while

Litchﬁeld Park honored for Centennial Celebration

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 13, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

The Arizona Parks and Recreation Association recently selected Litchfield Park’s Centennial Celebration as this year’s Outstanding Community Special Event for populations less than 25,000. Litchfield Park’s Centennial Celebration was held February 10 to February 12, approximately 100 years after Paul W. Litchfield purchased the land that would become known as Litchfield Park. The event’s theme was “Proud Past, Bright Future.” This free weekend event highlighted Litchfield Park’s history and generated excitement for the city’s future. “Litchfield Park’s Centennial Celebration was truly a community effort,” said Tricia Kramer, Litchfield Park’s special events coordinator. Representatives from 18 local organizations planned it and about 200 volunteers assisted at the weekendlong celebration. “Key landmarks around town served as gathering points for activities and entertainment,” she said. The event was commemorated with

a 20-page magazine and with the inclusion of Litchfield Park’s history in local students’ curriculum. “When you consider the small size of our city, this was an amazing effort and our community pride showed,” Kramer said. The Centennial Celebration encompassed a variety of activities. Mayor Tom Schoaf hosted the opening ceremony, which included entertainment by Mariachi Real de Jalisco, family lawn games, a celebration cake and fireworks. Saturday kicked off with a historic Pageant of Flags ceremony and free community breakfast. There were antique cars and military vehicles, history displays stationed throughout the city, and community organization and sponsor booths. A string quartet performed at the library, while student groups played at Litchfield Elementary School. Children enjoyed a petting zoo and inflatables. At the Sunday barbecue, the Desert Knights Band and Ballet Folklorico Esperanza entertained attendees.

Olympic and national team athletes who grew up in the city’s recreation programs also made special appearances. APRA’s Annual Awards Program recognizes excellence in the fields of Parks, Recreation, Culture and Community Services. Litchfield Park, along with other Parks & Recreation organizations and professionals, was recognized at APRA’s Awards Dinner,

which was held last month at the Sheraton Grand Phoenix. The Awards Dinner had nearly 500 attendees, including parks and recreation professionals, local and state public officials, and representatives from various organizations in Arizona.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

KIRK’S OPINION — The Toledo Blade

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

South Mountain Freeway connection Editor: In 1988, the wife and I were looking at a home to buy. We looked at a beautiful home by RA (not Richmond American) in the area just north of the Indian reservation. I was troubled by the two-lane road for access to and from I-10. All the homes in that area backed up to the reservation. We looked here in Avondale at Garden Lakes and found a home we liked so bought our home here in 1988. Now due to the city of Phoenix and the state’s failure to plan, the cost has risen into the billion-dollar-plus area. Dennis Chandler Avondale

Do the right thing Editor: If you lived in Arizona in 1987, you might’ve seen a bumper sticker that read, “Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, Arizona has a Nightmare.” Evan Mecham had been elected governor and the state of Arizona instantly gained worldwide notoriety for his buffoonery, racism and incompetence. Arizonans quickly came to regret Mecham’s election and mobilized to remove him from office by recall and impeachment. The recall effort failed because of legal technicalities, but the Arizona Legislature did the right thing in impeaching and convicting Mecham, therefore removing him from office. Some Mormon legislators who voted to convict were punished by their constituents and were not re-elected when they ran for office. Mecham had his loyal base, the LDS church. These legislators showed courage in choosing the welfare of their state over party loyalty. They did the right thing. By the way, Trump also has his loyal base. Sen. John McCain called them “wacko birds.” The late Evan Mecham and Donald Trump share many similarities. • Always attacking and blaming the press for his failures, • Appointing unqualified/incompetent

people to high-level positions, • Being impulsive and erratic, • Reversing the policies and abolishing the programs put in place by his predecessor. One contrast that stands out, however, is that Mecham was a WWII hero, whereas Trump fought for all available deferments to avoid getting drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War. When Trump gets impeached, I have to wonder if Jeff Flake will step up and vote to convict. Will he display courage and love for country over party politics? I don’t know. When Flake first ran for Congress in 2000, he pledged he would serve a maximum of two terms. He broke his promise and was re-elected six times to the House of Representatives prior to moving up to the U.S. Senate! The electorate in this country is quickly coming to the realization that electing Trump to the presidency was a mistake. A mistake of epic proportions! The Mecham nightmare ended and we moved on. The Trump nightmare also will soon be behind us, but only if the legislators in Congress do the right thing. Jorge Diaz B. Tolleson

The Great Eclipse Editor: How many of you readers got to see the Great Eclipse of August 21? There were some people who did not take the precaution of using those safety glasses when viewing the eclipse. One ophthalmologist said on the local news there was going to be a spike in the number of cases of people coming to see her with eye problems. The problems range from blurry vision to loss of color vision to dark spots in range of vision to even complete blindness. She said the damage may be permanent because the part of the eye being damaged was the retina. I also tuned into George Noory’s live radio program, Coast-to-Coast AM, on Saturday, August 12. On the radio program was the astrologer Susan Miller (her website is: www. astrologyzone. com). She says some people’s astrological

charts will be affected positively by the solar eclipse. It could mean a financial windfall for some of us! Especially, for that lady in Massachusetts who won the $700 million in the Powerball. I didn’t win anything, but it’s nice to dream. I’m dreaming of real estate investments, mutual funds, CDs, becoming an e-trader… The next total eclipse will be in the seven years (I’ll be 69 then but I’ll look 45). After that, the next one is not until 2071. I wonder what kind of technology our young people will be using by then. I heard scientists have now figured out how to reverse the aging process by studying the inherited form of progeria. That’s premature aging in children. They found that cellular structures called telomeres become shorter as we age. They found the RNA material can continue to produce longer telomeres, thus keeping a person young. This was something I wrote about a few months ago. Well, have a nice day and keep reading the West Valley View! Laura Rivas Buckeye

Back-to-school food Editor: With the new school year upon us, parents turn their attention to school

clothes, school supplies and school food. Yes, school food! More than 31 million children rely on school meals for their daily nutrition, which too often consists of highly processed food laden with saturated fat. Not surprisingly, one-third of our children have become overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws become lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. To compound the problem, the Trump administration has loosened Obama’s 2010 school lunch rules calling for whole grains, fat-free milk, and reduced salt content. The rules had an 86 percent approval rating. Fortunately, many U.S. school districts now offer vegetarian options. More than 120 schools, including the entire school districts of Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Oakland, Philadelphia and San Diego have implemented Meatless Monday. As parents, we need to involve our own children and school cafeteria managers in promoting healthy, plantbased foods in our local schools. Entering “vegan options in schools” in a search engine provides lots of useful resources. Walter Vincent Litchfield Park

Give our leaders credit Editor: North Korea continues to threaten us, and yet the panic that was present in the 1950s or 1960s is not here today. I think that is because the United States has proven that we are the most prepared country in the world. We meet whatever is brought upon us quickly and professionally. Our U.S. military is the best in the world, not by accident but by extensive longrange planning. The superior F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Jet is the best equipment in the world, and it will help keep our country and its allies safe from whatever craziness North Korea may choose to employ. Our leaders, on both sides of the aisle, deserve credit for continuing to support military programs such as this, because it helps many of us sleep at night. Nicole Harris Goodyear

Research candidates before election Editor: I can answer Mr. Larry Carter’s question of why APS is getting an average $60 rate increase per customer. Read the article in the same West Valley View issue of “Commission OKs APS Rate Hike.” It cites millions spent to elect commissioners who promote APS increases for customers and a CEO who earns $50,000 a day. The other blame not mentioned is the voting public who do not research candidates before they vote. If they had done a Google search on each of the candidates before voting they could have learned a lot about their history and who was contributing heavily to their campaign. It would have given an indication of who would protect taxpayers vs. those who do not. Researching any and all candidates takes time, but consider that we must live with decisions they make. This goes for candidates in all levels of government. Dorothy Morris Phoenix

Blame the Democrats Editor: As the pile-on against President Trump continues, most people forget who has caused many of the problems and conditions in our country. The Democrats who caused the war in Vietnam generally would not allow the South Vietnamese to survive even when a peace agreement was signed. Democrats would not fund the South Vietnamese, which was part of the agreement. Democrats are the white supremacists. They are the bigots, the haters, the anti-American, the agitators and the ones always looking for handouts. You want to watch when the Dems talk or call others names. They are really talking about themselves or they just lie. I have worked with Democrats and Republicans, but today’s Dems are radicalized to cause anyone trouble if you just try to civilly discuss differences on current issues. It is time Americans stood their ground and told these paid agitators to get out of town. This is America and we are not going to give it away to radical Islam, or any other group that tries to destroy what has been bought and paid for. President Trump is doing a great job. If you can provide help or can solve problems instead of adding more to the pile then what are you waiting for? Richard Newcomer Goodyear

Business Briefcase

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. This week’s lineup is quite a doozy, with everything ranging from the chamber meetings and forums to new large-scale packaging facilities and city developments. But don’t worry; it’s not all work and no play. Continuing the lead-up to Halloween set in motion by previous briefcases, yet another festive West Valley event will get some shine. And while it’s an equally great opportunity for local businesses looking to get out there, this carnival is sure to be equally sweet. Here’s the news! For starters, Goodyear’s Haymaker Restaurant Co. isn’t going anywhere! In the September 6 issue of West Valley View, it was reported that Haymaker Restaurant Co. had been sold. The building the popular eatery leases was recently sold for $1.7 million. This has no effect on Haymaker Restaurant Co., 1800 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. As a matter of fact, read all about the restaurant in this section! Next on this week’s agenda: The

Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce will host Business After Hours at Thompson Funeral Chapel from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, September 14. This monthly event provides an opportunity for local business owners to come out, mingle and learn about their peers. Attendees can come and go as they please during the two-hour event. Some businesses may also offer door prizes as part of a raffle. Thompson Funeral Chapel is located at 926 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. Big changes are coming to the Phoenix Goodyear Airport’s master plan. The City of Phoenix Aviation Department is planning a public meeting from 5 to 8 p.m. Thursday, October 5. The next step in discussing the master plan update, the meeting will be at the Lux Air Jet Center, Building 110 at Phoenix Goodyear Airport, 1658 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. The Phoenix City Council approved the last master plan update in 2007. For more information on the master plan update, visit goodyearairport.com

or call 602- 273-2058. Ball Corporation recently announced plans to build a packaging facility in Goodyear. The August 30 announcement by the Broomfield, Colorado-based beverage packaging company also included that three other facilities, located in Birmingham, Alabama; Chatsworth, California; and Longview, Texas, will be closed in 2018. This will allow Ball Corporation to put its focus on the new facility, which is expected to begin production in the second quarter of 2018. With the closings and the new building, Ball Corporation is expected to save $50 million in net fixed costs annually from late 2018 onward. Changing focus to another locale in the West Valley, the WOW Economic Forum (Women of the West Valley) will take place at StarshineAZ from 8 to 10 a.m. Thursday, September 28. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. At this essential forum, WESTMARC President and CEO Sintra Hoffman shares her tips for women business owners looking to

The city is looking to install water and sewer lines, new roads and drainage improvements. While the city just recently received authorization from the Flood Control District of Maricopa County, plans for the Street Improvement District are still being finalized, with small details yet to be hammered out over the coming weeks. Should planning continue as scheduled, the city will look to start construction at the turn of the year. The project is estimated to take six or seven months with a cost estimate of $11 million. That’s all the briefs for this week. Thanks for reading! Have an item for Business Briefcase? Email Connor Dziawura at cdziawura@timespublications.com.

Haymaker Restaurant ‘comforts’ Goodyear residents WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 13, 2017

By Connor Dziawura

When the Great Recession struck in the late 2000s, millions of people around world were impacted. This hits close to home for Joe Lucidi, who was looking to get his groove back following his business’ turbulent times from 2008 to 2012. Lucidi now owns and operates Haymaker Restaurant Co. in Goodyear. “I decided to open a restaurant that reminded me a lot of my parents’ restaurants, which served familyoriented comfort food,” Lucidi said. “I took a big detour from 20 years ago and decided to make almost everything from scratch. We use a lot of family recipes. We use a lot of local ingredients. That’s very important to us.” And, thus, Haymaker Restaurant Co. was born. Initially launched in Peoria in 2013, Haymaker expanded to Goodyear and North Phoenix in 2014 and 2015, respectively. The success has continued to grow. The restaurant’s breakfast items range from Benedicts and omelets to Dutch

apple cinnamon French toast. The comfort food menu features anything from St. Louis pork ribs to blackened salmon and a country fried steak dinner. “Our traditional comfort foods tend to be our most popular,” Lucidi said. “Our chicken fried steak is probably our top seller. Fish and chips, which we hand-batter and make from scratch, are very, very popular items.” Lucidi said he has tried during the last four years to create unique items. One such item is the blackened catfish tacos, which was inspired by Lucidi’s youth Haymaker Restaurant is bustling with guests who wish to order comfort food.

It partners with Peoriabased distillery Lucidi Distilling Co., which is owned by Joe’s brother, Chris. The distilling company operates out of Peoria’s original fire station, even keeping the name and logo intact. Specializing in vodka, gin, whiskey and rum, Lucidi Distilling Co. and Haymaker Restaurant Co. plan to partner for an original Haymaker label liquor. They are working on flavored moonshine. “I sell his stuff, not only because he’s my brother, but because it’s darn good,” said Lucidi. Haymaker’s happy hour from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily features $2 domestic and drafts; $3 well drinks and house wines; and $4 craft drafts, Lucidi distilling spirits, and Jack and Jim. In addition to adult beverages, Haymaker runs $5 and $6 appetizer specials during the daily slot. In addition to the locations in Peoria

One may be an addition to the Haymaker Restaurant Co. name, whereas the second could be a new quick-serve barbecue concept. “I’m a big barbecue guy,” Lucidi explained. “I make my own sauce and I’m getting ready to dabble in that as well.” Although food is important, getting involved in the community is what it’s all about for Haymaker.

Outside of working with Luke Air Force Base, which led to Lucidi being named an honorary commander last year, Haymaker puts much of its effort into aiding the local community through its kids, which Lucidi breaks down to its core areas – schools and churches. “Those four groups are where we spend probably 90 to 95 percent of our time and our money on donating and different deals,” he said of the military, kids, schools and churches. “Not to say we wouldn’t donate toward another group; we just know that those four areas are near and dear to our hearts. I have four kids, I came from a big family, I’m a big part of our church community, and I want to make sure that our dollars go and help them grow.” Haymaker Restaurant Co. 1800 N.

Capello created a conditioning circuit that the team utilizes on Fridays. “I know sports, and that should be the baseline for any athlete who wants to become good,” Maddux said. “You’re doing medicine balls, you’re jogging, doing sit-ups, it’s a total body-based workout. It’s the best workout I’ve ever seen.” Maddux calls Capello a “Garmin guy,” one who uses a GPS watch when running to track distance and time. Maddux said it’s helping his kids. “Andrew is a kid who’s semi one pace,” Maddux said. “He’s a kid that needs (the Garmin) to know (he has)

They are Lizbeth Acosta, Elizabeth Corn and Valeria Lopez. Buckeye’s next meet is September 19 at the Fire It Up Invitational at Rose Mofford Park in Phoenix. That race will provide a preview of the section course, as it’s in the same location. The October 26 section meet determines which teams qualify for state. “I expect to be at state again because we have the athletes,” Maddux said.

Coach fulfills dream of adding cross country at Legacy

By Casey Pritchard

Pete Lopez finished last in his first eighth-graders have to run two miles cross country race in high school. That for a race, while the sixth-graders run didn’t keep Lopez from accomplishing one mile, per Arizona law. Lopez was impressed with what one of his dreams: coaching a cross some of his athletes could do right country team. The 7-year-old Legacy Traditional from the beginning of practice. “We started kind of small, doing a School in Avondale recently added a cross country team and Lopez is its head coach. mile, ran as a group to see where the “Oh man, to be honest, this has been kids were at,” Lopez said. “Second day, I a dream of mine for 10 years,” Lopez really pushed them hard and timed them. said. “I got out of the Army in 2007 and They did surprisingly, exceedingly well.” The team must run on campus, I told myself: One day I’m going to get because off-campus a cross country team runs have not been and work with them.

In the meantime, my fingers crossed.

The seventh- and and run,” Lopez said. “Investing in the

proper shoes, proper stretching before and after each run, amount of sleep, and you’re diet, too, staying away from sugars and things like that.” Parents have gotten involved, too. There is a handful of them who run with the kids. Lopez said no other team sport does that. “They drop off the kids for football, volleyball, and pick them up when it’s done,” he said. “I have parents running along with their kids and motivating them.” There may not have been an “official” race, but Lopez has created meets for his athletes to compete against each other. They are every other weekend near the school’s campus at 12320 W. Van Buren Street, Avondale. Lopez, who works as a paraprofessional at Legacy Traditional School, said he still remembers his first cross country race as a freshman at East Union High School in Manteca, California. Despite finishing last, he turned his season around at the sectional meet. “I didn’t get discouraged,” Lopez said. “I pushed myself, and by the end of the season, in an entry field of 250, I

was top 25. I had definitely made leaps and bounds in cross country. It just took off from there.” Lopez didn’t run in college but resurrected his love of the sport in the military. He was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington, where he eventually was given an opportunity to run in a 5K. “My leaders contacted me and said they were creating an army team within the base at Fort Lewis, and they said because of my time, they wanted me to run with the army team,” Lopez said. “It was a bunch of people mixed and matched, and we came in first in a 5K run.” That drove Lopez’s passion for the sport even more, and now he’s got what he’s always wanted – a team to teach and motivate. “My main focus and goal as a coach for these athletes is for them to be self determined,” Lopez said. “Whether it’s one mile, or whatever [goal] you set for yourself, completing it without stopping … Not only will it teach them discipline in running, but discipline in life. That’s ultimately my goal, to see them create that fundamental core that running does matter.”

Since the Avondale store and wine bar opened in February 2016, the Watsons have seen folks come in repeatedly, some bearing gifts. “I get so excited when I have customers who come back in with what they did with the products,” she said. “They come in and share food with us. They have embraced us and we have embraced them. It’s fun to sit around and talk about food.” We Olive sells California olive oils, balsamic vinegar and vinaigrette. Seasonal favorites are We Olive Pineapple White Balsamic Vinegar, We Olive Sweet Balsamic Mustard, Napa Jack’s Bourbon Barbecue Sauce and Spicy Italian Dipping Oil and Pasta Toss. The store offers tastings of nearly all the products, including tapas. We Olive Avondale’s newsletter has recipe suggestions and in-store events. “The location in the West Valley has been a gem to everyone,” she said. “People come in and say, ‘Hey, we normally see this type of business in Scottsdale.’ “Individuals over here want to eat healthy, too. They want to have access to gourmet foods and specialty wines that you can’t find in grocery stores. It’s overall a fun experience just meeting a lot of people here in the West Valley.” The Watsons moved here from Michigan four years ago. She was in the long-term health care industry, focusing on transitioning individuals from the nursing home back to community living. Vaughn comes from a role in the health care industry as well.

Others, I’m trying to prevent them from getting to that stage. We want to inspire that inner chef to cook better and healthier, and not always eating out. “There are fun things you can do at home. We have a series of educational courses. That’s what attracted us to the franchise.” Some of the upcoming classes

‘Hardbody’ actress talks theater, Grand Canyon University and new show

By Carson Mlnarik

Arizona Broadway Theatre is home to one of the state’s only dine-in theaters. In a way, it’s also home to actress Madison Cichon. Working with the Arizona Broadway

Theatre has been a huge part of the Phoenix native’s life. After seeing H.M.S. Pinafore with her grandparents during the venue’s second season, she was hooked. A Sandra Day O’Connor High School

20 hands, 10 contestants, 4 wheels and one set of keys. Hopes and dreams are on the line. Who will drive away with the American Dream?

graduate, Cichon spent several years in Arizona Broadway Theatre’s Academy for Young Performers, appearing in 2009’s A Christmas Carol and then going on to perform in The Sound of Music and Shrek. She eventually landed a job in its box office. Now, Cichon is playing Kelli Mangrum in Hands on a Hardbody, a musical based on a true story about 10 Texans competing to win a vehicle. Their challenge? Keep one hand on the brand-new truck for the longest amount of time. “It’s about the truck,” Cichon said. “For each and every one of them, the truck means the world. It means moving forward in their lives.” Playing through September 24, the musical features 10 contestants, all of whom share their stories and stakes through country and blues music. Cichon said she has a lot in common with 22-year-old Kelli, whom she describes as a well-prepared and headstrong. “The reason she’s at this competition is to get out of where she is, to move forward and find new things,” she said. “She’s been in this small town in Texas her entire life. I’ve been in Phoenix my entire life and I’m excited to see what the future holds.” Cichon has always found herself close to musicals. The first show she attended was Annie at age 2. “I was dancing up the aisles and,

ever since then, I’ve been in love with it,” she said with a laugh. She now lives a double life, splitting her time between acting and attending Grand Canyon University. While it’s tough balancing the two, she said it’s ultimately worth it. “I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Cichon said. “I love having a busy schedule and I love being a student and performer. I wouldn’t give it up.” Even though she has several roles under her belt, Cichon admits she still gets nervous before every show. “It’s good nerves,” she said. “It always propels a good performance and it makes you want to work harder.” She loves the realistic nature of theater, especially with the real-life characters in Hands on a Hardbody. She said audience members will relate to the characters. “It’s not only a fun show, but you feel for these characters because you can find something you have in common with them,” she said. “They’re real people and it’s their real experiences and what they want in the world.” Hands on a Hardbody Various times through Sunday, September 24 Arizona Broadway Theatre, 7701 W.

New Westview principal brings experience

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 13, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Dr. John Renouard has led a double life since he began teaching in the Tolleson Union High School District 18 years ago. The last two decades for the Westview High School principal have been busy. He’s worked as a teacher and administrator and earned degrees at ASU. The Long Island, New York, native also served as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. “Teaching has never been a job to me,” said Renouard, a military history buff. “I tell kids about my parallel careers.” Renouard’s military career is well documented. After attending college in upstate New York, he joined the Marines and was assigned to Camp Lejeune in North Carolina and then in Virginia. He attended graduate school at ASU from 1993 to 1995, when he entered the education field. “I made a unique transfer into education,” said Renouard, who has lived in Garden Lakes for 18 years. “My goal was to be a Marine Corps officer, active duty. When I got back from the Gulf War, there was a reduction of

force. I was going into the reserves. I had no choice in the matter. “Then I was picked up by the State Department to be a diplomatic security officer. That fell on hard times when Clinton came in and that program was canceled. I started looking at other careers. My hobby is military history, and I thought I might as well get paid for what I love to do.” After earning a master’s degree, he worked at a parochial school in Mesa and then Buckeye Elementary School. He coached varsity soccer and taught at Tolleson Union High School, all while earning a doctorate in educational administration from ASU. His resume also includes stints as assistant principal at Copper Canyon and Sierra Linda high schools. “When I got the opportunity to be the principal at Westview, I was honored,” he said. “It’s a great next step in my career. My biggest asset for the school is my experience in the district and knowing the community. I know my experience in the military as a planner has helped

Buckeye district opens second preschool By West Valley View staff

The Buckeye Elementary School District opened a second preschool in the city to help meet the demands of the growing area. Buckeye Elementary Preschool opened September 5 at its north campus at Jasinski Elementary School on Broadway Road. It is an extension of Buckeye Elementary Preschool, 640 Centre Avenue. Buckeye Elementary Preschool at Jasinski is a tuition-based program open to all children ages 3 to 5. School hours are 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Full-day and halfday openings are available. Registration is open for the preschool at Jasinski. Parents may register their preschool-age children by visiting besd33.org or calling 623-925-3921. Parents may also register children at the Buckeye Elementary Preschool front office. “The Buckeye Elementary Preschool has such a tremendous reputation and

is growing, but for many families who live closer to I-10 it can be a bit of drive to downtown Buckeye,” said BESD Superintendent Dr. Kristi Sandvik. “By opening a second preschool in a more northern part of the city, it may be more convenient, especially for parents who have older children in one of our schools. Jasinski is ideally situated for busy moms and dads.” Most Buckeye Elementary Preschool staff are certified in first aid and CPR. In addition, all classrooms employ highly qualified teachers and at least one assistant, which exceeds the required Arizona State Department of Education preschool student teacher ratio of 1:13. For more information about the Buckeye Elementary Preschool and the new Buckeye Elementary Preschool at Jasinski, visit besd33.org or call 623-925-3921.

Desert Edge High School unveils STEM center 24

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 13, 2017

By Connor Dziawura

Desert Edge High School is aiming to strengthen and increase interest in its growing STEM program. The Goodyear campus unveiled its Center of Builders and Creators (CBC) at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday, August 31, that featured students, teachers, district officials and construction companies. The room will exist as a space for students to experiment, build, create and foster knowledge of STEM subjects. “This project is for our students, obviously, to get them excited about the future of STEM and all the different trades and things that we need to sustain society and those things,” said Jason Linn, DEHS parent involvement specialist. “We want passionate people, prepared people to be ready to go on to that.” GCON Construction, Canstruct Builders, Contemporary Flooring, Torrez Unlimited, Tri-Mega Mechanical, Pena Acoustics and Copperstate Wall Systems donated their time, effort, money and resources to this nearly $50,000 project, which took about a year. Together, these local businesses

implemented new flooring, framing, paint finishes, plumbing, electrical, ceilings and other mechanical systems. Evolved from a chemistry classroom, the room now features a variety of different flooring materials, as well as multiple ceiling constructs – including suspended cloud ceilings, standard office ceilings, planked wood ceilings and detention center ceilings. That best suits the STEM program’s needs. The construction companies left many of these structures and materials exposed to allow students to see the variety of construction styles, watch demonstrations and get inspired, according to Joel Canchola, GCON Construction’s director of preconstruction services. “The thought of this was to make sure we get the whole fun environment that celebrates the process of the finished product,” Canchola explained. The room also has custom stainless steel workbenches and plenty of other nifty features, not to mention its many tools with which students can create. Teachers are hoping it will boost the

STEM program’s appeal. “The purpose of that is to put STEM as a culture into the campus and not as a silent class, if you will,” said Steve Pond, DEHS chemistry teacher and STEM adviser. “You’re talking 1,700 kids in our campus and 60 of them right now are taking STEM here in the first semester, so we’re not even encompassing 10 percent of our population. “What we’re looking at here is taking this culture – what I call ‘mind to design’ – and expanding it cross-curriculum, expanding it to the entire campus.” The room has only recently opened, but students have already experimented with its tools and features. “The biggest thing I’m excited for is bringing together the arts and the sciences and math and engineering, and bringing it together all as one in this one room, and having it come together and be uniform and bringing a sense of unity to the school,” said Jackson Davis, DEHS sophomore and chief science officer. “It’s

Students and teachers are also implementing STEAM into the mix, and would like to use the CBC to meld subjects like interior design, graphic design and fine arts into a “collective experience,” Davis said. The school and construction companies are looking ahead, with plenty of proposed features to implement. One possibility is adding the CBC’s neighboring classroom to the program’s repertoire. “The beauty of that room is it has windows along the main hallway, so we’d like to have stations in there that would be more of the design area and

How can we have a kid who is coming from an English class? “The big thing here in figuring out the next step is making this a multi-use facility that expands across the curriculum.”
