Cedar trees set to be toppled for Riverwalk By Shayla Hyde

Local leaders say salt cedar trees are invading the Gila River, causing flood and fire hazards and choking native vegetation and wildlife habitats. They say it’s time for the trees, planted a century ago to slow erosion, to make their final stand. Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck said removing the trees is a priority. Environmentalists worry removing the salt cedar trees without plans to replace them could leave endangered birds homeless. “Today we are faced with fire, with flood,” Meck said. “It’s critical that we get these salt cedars taken out.” It’s taken a decade, $5 million and numerous government officials to come up with plans and permits to topple the 18 miles of trees lining the river in the Southwest Valley. Meck said cutting down and removing the trees is tentatively set to take place by the end of the year. Trying to find money and tackling a complex bureaucracy of filing for federal permits has taken two decades, according to Adam Copeland, a Buckeye senior planner. But workers could finally start cutting down the trees by December. Officials with Buckeye, Goodyear, Avon-

dale and the Maricopa County Flood District are collaborating to replace the salt cedars with other native vegetation. The restoration plan covers the river bed reaching from Litchfield Road in Avondale to State Route 85 in Buckeye.

The menace

Salt cedars – which look like oversized shrubs – have grown along swaths of the Gila River bed, stretching from a quarter-mile wide to more than a mile wide in some areas. The 30,000 residents living in the river’s floodplain risk the possibility of flooding during heavy rain, Meck said. A flood in 1978 forced residents in Hopeville, a Buckeye community, to move elsewhere in the area.

Fire is another danger. Copeland said salt cedars burn hotter than other trees and because they are packed so tightly, fires can spread easily. And salt cedar trees suck up water – 200 to 300 gallons of water a day – making it tough for native vegetation to survive. Salt cedars, originally brought to Arizona in the 1800s, take over native plants’

Avondale paracyclist races for national team By Joe Gilmore

Ret. Air Force Capt. David Berling, 37, once again donned the stars and stripes, but this time as an official member of the U.S. National Paracycling Team in South Africa at the Paracycling Road World Championships. The Avondale resident said his selection came as a shock. “Even after I finished, I didn’t think I had ridden fast enough to qualify,” Berling said.

“I rode well at the qualifying time trial in Keenesburg, Colorado, but I was about a minute slower than I know I can ride.” Before participating in the qualifying time trial in Colorado, Berling competed in three world cups and a national championship. He decided after that to race in the qualifying time trial. “You don’t get to race often with the

in December or January. If selected again, Berling will travel to Belgium to compete in May.

Longtime love Competitions are nothing new to Berling, who grew up playing soccer and tennis at Wisconsin’s Holmen High School, from which he graduated in 1998. He went on to double major in finance and economics, graduating from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse in just three and a half years. He was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the U.S. Air Force in December 2002, after completing a one-year ROTC program at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. Berling began his military career as a member of the 56 Contracting Squadron at Luke Air Force Base. While on active duty, Berling completed his MBA from Webster University. He and his wife, Melissa, eloped to Hawaii before leaving for EuroNato Joint Jet Pilot Training. His life changed, however, after he earned a private pilot’s license so he could apply for military pilot training. On April 29, 2007, his plane crashed into a vacant dirt field after he hit a power line. His injuries required 28 surgeries, including two above-knee amputations. He also sustained severe injuries to his right arm, including three broken bones and nerve damage. Berling spent two months in the hospital before medically retiring from the military. After the incident, he worked for nearly six years as a full-time civil contracting consultant at Luke Air Force Base. He chronicled his journey in his book Just Living the Dream: No Way Out but Through. Berling, who works as a motivational speaker, took up paracycling as part of his recovery, but after learning he had a talent for it, Berling pursued it full time. “I don’t honestly know how good I can get in this sport,” Berling said. Recent injuries have been a minor roadblock in Berling’s ascension in the sport. Last year he had a surgery to repair a small intestine obstruction. Earlier this year he was hit by a car in Avondale, which caused eight broken ribs, a punctured lung and a collapsed lung. The arm injuries from the plane crash have been difficult. “This injury may make it physiologically impossible for me to be the best in the world, but as of right now, I will continue to move forward and improve and see how fast I can get,” Berling said. “I refuse to use it as a crutch and let it stop me from trying to achieve my goals.” Despite these setbacks, Berling’s world ranking in H5 Classification skyrocketed from No. 19 last year to No. 8 this year. “I would like to get through an entire season healthy, just to see how close I can come to achieving some of my goals,” he said. “I am working hard to continue to improve that number and work my way up the world ranking.” His goals include winning a medal at a world cup event, and to be a favorite in world cup and world championship events. “Eventually, I’d like to be the best H5 cyclist in

the world and win a gold Paralympic medal,” he said. “If you’re going to aim, aim high.” Paralympic athletes are not supported the same way in the United States as they are in other countries. The U.S. Olympic Committee is a nonprofit nongovernmental organization. It does not receive public funding. “Because most Americans value sports like football, baseball, basketball and hockey, instead of soccer, cycling

and tennis like the majority of the world, the monetary and equipment support available to American athletes in those sports is far less than their European counterparts,” he said. Despite this, Berling said being a part of Team USA is amazing. “Putting on that uniform and racing for my country is a rush that is unequaled,” he said.

Buckeye sets General Plan Open House

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

As one of the country’s fastestgrowing cities, Buckeye is developing ideas for its future. City officials are hosting the General Plan Open House from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, September 30, at the Coyote Library. Imagine Buckeye 2040 is the city’s General Plan document and the primary tool that will be used to guide Buckeye’s future. It includes the city’s vision, goals and policies for guiding future growth based on previous input from residents. Residents can vote on it August 2018. “This is an open house meeting to promote our General Plan right before we go into the formalized 60-day

mandated review period,” said Terri Hogan, deputy director of planning. “We will essentially have a predraft copy of the General Plan and our proposed land use map. We’re trying to get the public out there to view what we’ve done and get comments on that.” Council members are expected to attend, so the city will advertise a quorum. Planning commissioners, department heads and library staff will be available for questions, too. “It’s an all-day thing,” Hogan said. “We’re going to have things for the kids to do. We’ll have some events, if you will, like goofy golf and a spinning wheel for people to win prizes.” The General Plan is grouped into

three themes: • Growth: Includes elements that help guide growth and development to ensure it is balanced and promotes a healthy and vibrant community. • Services: Provides guidance for the investment and development of city of Buckeye services. • Stewardship: Includes several components that guide development of an excellent quality of life. “This basically is a vision for their community for the next 10 to 20 years into buildout,” Hogan said. “This is an opportunity for residents to have a part in that vision or picture. We have knowledge as planners, but it’s not really our plan. It’s the residents’.

We know our council, our commission and our General Plan committee are happy with the direction. Ultimately, we want to find out if we hit the mark with the public. There have been General Plans that get turned away.” City officials have had three public meetings prior to this. Residents can also comment on a display in the City Hall lobby. So far, Hogan said, the community indicated they want to maintain Buckeye’s rural characteristics but they seek amenities like a Costco, more restaurants and retail. The Coyote Library is located at 21699 W. Yuma Road. For more information, visit imaginebuckeye2040.com.

About 3,000 to 4,000 salt cedar trees, also known as tamarisk trees, crowd into one acre. Copeland and George Diaz, Buckeye’s government relations manager, have learned about the salt cedars in workshops over five years. They say they have worked to conquer a maze of regulations governing what they need to do to get rid of them.

ers will cut down the trees in 40-acre plots, spray the leftover stumps with herbicide and throw any remains into an incinerator. They had learned a humbling lesson after cutting down the first 40-acre plot: With no herbicide to deter growth, the trees grew back. Inmates at the Lewis prison in Buckeye will help cut down the trees, city officials said.

The concerns Sandy Bahr, director of the Sierra Club’s Grand Canyon chapter, said salt cedars have to be replaced with other trees to protect wildlife and birds that depend on the vegetation to survive. “It’s not just what needs to be removed but what needs to be planted,” Bahr said. The Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, an endangered species, nests in the shade and foliage of salt cedars. Robin Silver, co-founder and board member of the Center for Biological Diversity, is worried tree removal would happen too quickly. “There needs to be a transition,” said Silver, who is also vice president of the Maricopa Audubon Society. Kelly Wolff-Krauter, habitat design director for Arizona Game and Fish, said wildlife and birds will be protected. She’s working with Buckeye and other officials on the restoration plan. She said protecting the flycatcher includes transplanting native cottonwood and willow trees to replace the salt cedar trees. That will happen during the season birds aren’t nesting in the trees. If there are complications, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will step in. Shayla Hyde writes for Cronkite News Service.

Buckeye Police to wear pink patches in October By Catherine Hathaway Buckeye Police Department will sport and sell pink patches in October for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. More importantly, their partnership with the Pink Patch Project will raise money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The Pink Patch Project was started by the Irwindale Police Department in California and has since gained traction in other departments nationwide. This is the first year in which Buckeye is participating. “It was a project one of our patrol officers (Darren Smith) had been following on social media,” said Detective Tamela Skaggs. “It was something he thought was a really good idea for our department to take part in.” Patches may be purchased for $10 at both police stations, 21699 W. Yuma Road, 100 N. Apache Road, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Thursday, or by contacting Smith at dlsmith@ buckeyeaz.gov. “(We hope to) engage the community when the officer is on patrol and have our officers show that support for the cause,” Skaggs said. “We want to encourage people, women, men even, to go and get tested if they haven’t already.” The response has been overwhelming, she said. “Being put on the Pink Patch Project website, we have been contacted by a lot of either law enforcement employees and or family members or just citizens

from around the United States wanting to purchase pink patches,” Skaggs said. “(Some) are patch collectors or know somebody who has been affected by breast cancer.” According to the Pink Patch Project website, Buckeye and Chandler are the only participating Arizona police departments. Skaggs hopes Chandler and Buckeye’s success will encourage other Arizona departments to follow. The department is already considering adding products. “Next year and in the years to come, we’d like to continue to involve and evolve and do T-shirts,” Skaggs said. “The officers have asked to do hats during October with us with the Pink Patch logo on it, pins, too.” According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the disease is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. It is estimated that 246,600 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States in 2017. More than 40,000 of those women will die. More than 2,600 men will be diagnosed with the disease this year.

Eddie Eagle teaches kids about gun safety WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

By Joe Gilmore

Most kids learn to stop, drop and roll in a fire and to look both ways before crossing the street. Now, thanks to AZ Firearms and Pot of Gold Estate Auctions, kids are learning what to do if they come across a firearm: stop, don’t touch, run away and tell an adult. This is what kids learned on Saturday, September 16, at the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program hosted by Pot of Gold Estate Auctions in Avondale. Pot of Gold Estate Auctions’ owners Danny and Cheryl Todd talked about the importance of hosting on an educational event like this. “We’re just trying to make sure kids are safely taught what to do if they find a firearm,” Danny said. With 350 million guns in circulation in the United States, approximately 113 guns per 100 people, gun safety classes are becoming more prevalent, especially for children. Among children, 89 percent of accidental shooting deaths occur in the home, most of the time with children playing with a loaded gun. “We want to empower our youth with education and knowledge about how to stay safe if they find a gun somewhere,” Cheryl said. The Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program was developed by the NRA to do just that, educate children to offset firearm accidents and prevent guns from getting in children’s hands. In developing the curriculum, NRA firearm safety experts were joined by educators, school administrators, psychologists and law enforcement officials. At the September 16 event, Avondale first responders taught kids about the gun safety. Eugene Tokosh, an Avondale police officer who was offduty on Saturday, brought his two daughters. “I just wanted my kids to get more knowledge on gun safety, even though I teach them anyway,” Tokosh said. “I thought this would be more of an interactive approach for them to learn more about gun safety.” The Eddie Eagle program features a movie with Eddie the animated eagle and his friends showing kids the proper way to handle seeing a firearm. The event also features a visit and photo opportunity with Eddie the Eagle.

“Ultimately, I think this is a great program for the interactive part,” Tokosh said. “Plus, the TV program relates and has remembrance for what we’re here for.” Besides the video presentation, there is also an instructor to help the kids further understand the importance of gun safety and to reiterate the message of stop, don’t touch, run away and tell a grown-up. Mike Abramovich, an IT manager, is a certified instructor and has participated in the program eight times over the last seven years. He helmed this class as well. “I can’t tell you how many times I read a story online, in the newspaper, about some child finding a gun. It’s either in their home or a neighbor’s home and the unthinkable happens,” Abramovich said. “If we can have 40 kids in here on a Saturday for a couple hours, eating pizza talking about gun safety, if that saves one of their lives that means a lot.” Arizona State Rep. Diego Espinoza, D-19, contacted the Todds about putting on this event after accidental incidents in their area involving firearms. “This was a great opportunity to educate our families as well as our children on safety issues that are in our area and how we can avoid (incidents) in the future to not negatively impact our communities,” Espinoza said. The Todds spoke on Espinoza’s commitment to this event. “Diego understood and understands that it’s about what’s happening right now today,” Cheryl said. “It takes years to change laws, what’s happening right now today is that we want to empower our youth with education and knowledge about how to stay safe if they find a gun somewhere.” The Todds have hosted this event twice. The first one only attracted about 15 people, but Danny estimated 50 people showed up in September. They plan to host more Eddie Eagle gun safety programs in the future. “What makes this successful is getting the community involved – law enforcement, police department, schools, teachers,” Abramovich said. “Next time, we’ll probably be in a school gymnasium.”

State Reps discuss education, drones at town hall

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

By Connor Dziawura

Goodyear residents were introduced to three state lawmakers when Legislative District 4 Sen. Lisa Otondo and Reps. Charlene Fernandez and Dr. Geraldine Peten hosted a town hall meeting at Desert Edge High School Wednesday, September 20. After hearing about the lawmakers’ backgrounds, attendees took turns asking questions. While many subjects were discussed, a large portion of the town hall was dedicated to concerns over questionable drone usage by “peeping toms” and support for public education and universities. In response to incidents involving drones, Otondo discussed the difficulty of cities passing regulations. “The real estate lobby uses drones for property sales; the agricultural lobby uses it, also for a lot of fields; the government uses it,” she said. “Drones are used for many, many reasons. “But when I went to the analyst, I said, ‘Is there a peeping tom clause that we could use?’ I can tell you that they’re working on that. We’ve been

discussing this, both Rep. Fernandez and I are going to try to see if there’s a way. The biggest problem is that there is no legislation on a federal level, and where a lot of these decisions will be made comes on a federal level.” According to Goodyear’s Government Relations Manager Rob Bohr this is difficult subject, as state and federal legislation have the potential to override city legislation. While discussions pertaining to dronerelated incidents have been ongoing, the Federal Aviation Administration is in charge of regulating drone usage. “With new technology, you get so many issues that you don’t necessarily intend or that nobody really saw coming,” he said. “You’ll start to see these issues develop, and as it continues to be an issue, the federal government I really think is going to first have to address it.” Moving on from concerns over drones, the majority of the evening was spent discussing a variety of issues pertaining to education. The three lawmakers voiced their support

for public education and discussed the fight to increase funding, and halt rising university costs. “I work every day at the state legislature fighting for funding for our public schools and for a better place for teachers,” Fernandez noted during her introduction. Peten, an educator, also raised concerns over issues of more money being spent to incarcerate inmates every year in Arizona than that which is dedicated to students – specifically $7,500 per student versus an inmate’s $21,000. The speakers added that it’s important for citizens to be involved in

the legislative process. “When legislation comes before a committee or before the legislature, we need you there, especially with the people from Estrella who this is affecting,” Otondo pleaded. “If a bill gets to a committee, please make sure that you’re following the bill.” “There’s power in the people,” added Peten, who was appointed to the Arizona House of Representatives in August. “When you see something that is going on in the school, you have power to get together to voice your opposition against it and have something change or have the situation rectified.”

Avondale names Bryan Kilgore vice mayor

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

The Avondale City Council unanimously voted to name Bryan Kilgore as its vice mayor on Monday, September 18, completing the term of the late Sandi Nielson. Her council seat was filled September 11 with the appointment of Tina Conde; however, the Council still had to take a vote on the vice mayor. Kilgore was appointed to the City Council in February 2014 to fill a council vacancy. He was elected later that year and began his four-year term in January 2015. As councilman, Kilgore previously served on the Maricopa County Human Services Commission, and is on the Luke West Valley Council. A graduate of the Avondale Citizen Leadership Academy, he served on the Avondale Municipal Art Committee, including serving as chairman. During his tenure, he was instrumental in the creation of the Mayor Marie High School Art Scholarship Contest, a program that annually provides scholarships to high

school seniors interested in pursuing higher education and art. “It’s definitely a wonderful honor, but I’m humbled at the same time,” Kilgore said. “I’m glad I get to serve my community in this capacity.” He added that the move is bittersweet. “We were expecting Vice Mayor Sandi Nielson to finish out her term,” Kilgore said. “Then this happened. It took us all by surprise and it was a little hard. We were able to do some things in her honor. We were just concerned about her husband, and making sure he’s OK. We’re grateful for her life, service and the lives she touched.” Kilgore was born and raised in Arizona. He graduated from South Mountain High School in 1993, and five years later, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Grand Canyon University. A teacher, he became involved in politics when a school he was working for had a budget override and it didn’t pass. “Then I saw the effects of it,” he said.

“Teachers not coming to work. Teachers being laid off. Afterschool buses stopping. All-day kindergarten stopping. Teachers complaining that they didn’t have the kids the entire day, so they weren’t getting key information or learning key skills. “I got involved. I mean I got involved. I was knocking on doors, passing out fliers, canvassing, doing everything I could. I was even on channel 12, advocating for education.” The next override passed. “If I’m involved, things are better for the community, for me and my family,” Kilgore said. “If An art teacher for the Fowler Elementary School you’re not a part of the menu- District, Bryan Kilgore is passionate about making process, you’re part of Avondale and the school system.

Top Arthritis Painkiller is a Cream Not a Pill

New cream works faster and is more targeted than oral medications. Key ingredients penetrate the skin within seconds to relieve joint arthritis pain. Users report signiﬁcant immediate relief. By Robert Ward Associated Health Press BOSTON – Innovus Pharmaceuticals has introduced a new arthritis pain relief treatment that works in seconds. Sold under the brand name Apeaz™, the new pain relief cream numbs the nerves right below the skin. When applied to an arthritic joint, or a painful area on the body, it delivers immediate relief that lasts for hours and hours. The powerful painkilling effect is created by the creams active ingredient, a special medical compound. Anesthetics are used in hospitals during surgery. They block nerve signals from the brain so that patients don’t feel pain and they work fast. The anesthetic found in Apeaz™ is the strongest available without a prescription. The cream form allows users to directly target their area of pain. It works where it is applied. The company says this is why the product is so effective and fast acting. “Users can expect to feel relief immediately after applying,” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj, President of Innovus Pharmaceuticals. “There will a pleasant warming sensation that is followed by a cool, soothing one. This is how you know that the active ingredients have reached the infected joint and tissue.”

Additional ingredients in the cream help suppress inammation around tissues and joints. Published pre-clinical studies have shown that the ingredients in Apeaz™ can also prevent further bone and cartilage destruction. There are also no negative side effects from the oral medication. Apeaz™ delivers its ingredients through the skin. Oral medications are absorbed in the digestive tract. Overtime, the chemicals in pills can tear the delicate lining of the stomach, causing ulcers and bleeding. When compared to other arthritis medications, Apeaz™ is a fraction of the cost. At less than $2 a day, the cream quickly is becoming a household name. Those with terrible arthritis in their hands and ngers, love how easy Apeaz™ is to open. The jar ts in the palm of the hand, which makes it much easier to use.

Instant Pain Relief Without a Prescription

Many Apeaz™ users report signicant improvements in daily aches and pain. Many more report increased exibility and less stiffness. They are moving pain free for the rst time in years, like Henry Esber, and early user of Apeaz™. “I’ve tried more pills than I can count. I’ve also had a handful of cortisone shots. Nothing is as effective as this product. With Apeaz™, I get relief right away. I rub a little

Apeaz™ is an FDA drug with approved claims for the pain relief of the following conditions: • Arthritis pain • Simple back pain • Strains • Sprains • Athletic injuries • Muscle stiffness and pain • Wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, foot, muscle or joint pain Works In Seconds For arthritis suffers, Apeaz offers impressive advantages over traditional medications. The most obvious is how quickly it relieves discomfort. The cream contains the maximum approved dose of a top anesthetic, which penetrates the skin in a matter of seconds to numb the area that’s in pain. This relief lasts for several hours.

on my knees and some through my hands. It keeps the pain away. It also prevents the pain from getting really bad. It’s completely changed my life.”

How It Works

“Apeaz™ contains the highest, non-prescription dose of a medical compound that ghts pain on contact. When applied to the skin it goes to work within seconds by

Apeaz™: Quick Acting Pain and Arthritis Cream is Now Available Without a Prescription penetrating right to the source of your pain, numbing the nerve endings.” “This is why Apeaz™ is so effective for people with arthritis. It reduces pain while adding an additional layer of joint protection,” explains Damaj.

A New Way to Treat Pain

Although Dr. Damaj and his team say that their cream is the fastest and most effective way to relieve arthritis pain, they believe there is still a reason to take joint pills. The most effective are those which help to further strengthen and support the joints. That’s why every container of Apeaz™ comes with ArthriVarx™, a breakthrough pill that’s taking on joint support in an entirely new way. ArthriVarx™ works on your joints, making it the perfect companion to Apeaz™. “ArthriVarx™ contains special compounds published to lubricate the joints and connective tissues that surrounds them. With daily use, they improve joint health and can give an extra cushion,” explains Dr. Damaj. “When combined with Apeaz™, it becomes the perfect system to tackle arthritis. While the anesthetic component of Apeaz™ is working on the outside, relieving pain on contact, ArthriVarx™ is working on the inside, adding cushioning to the joints”’

A Powerful Combination For Arthritis and Joint Pain

With daily use, Apeaz™ plus ArthriVarx™ helps users live a more vital, pain free life

without any of the negative side effects or interactions associated with oral drugs. By delivering fast, long-lasting, and targeted relief from joint pain and reducing inammation and swelling that causes joint damage, Apeaz™ and ArthriVarx™ is the newest, most effective way to tackle your arthritis pain. You can now enjoy an entirely new level of comfort that’s both safe and affordable. It is also extremely effective, especially if nothing else has worked well for you.

How to Get Apeaz™ in Arizona

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Vote ‘yes’ for school overrides Editor: Like so many others in our vibrant community, we wear several hats: business and community leader, homeowner, parent, voter. No matter the role, we know that strong schools benefit all of us. We urge you to vote “yes” for the Litchfield and Agua Fria overrides because teacher raises are necessary to help our neighborhood schools attract and retain quality teachers. “Yes” votes will also continue funding important programs at our A+ schools. These include band/music, art, athletics and nurses at every campus. Ballots will arrive in the mail during the week of October 11. Please vote “yes” for both overrides and return your ballot immediately. Shelly and Todd Hornback Buckeye

Taking a knee Editor: Watching NFL players “take a knee” on Sunday afternoon is becoming a common scene. Last season, Colin Kaepernick started the trend in defiance of racial oppression and inequality. However, it is difficult to comprehend such protest in the context of honoring this country at a football game. According to VICE Sports, a digital media outlet, more than 70 percent of the players in the NFL are African American. Many have overcome obstacles such as poverty, abuse, broken homes and other atrocities. Despite their situations, they worked their rears off, and overcame the odds: they are NFL football players. The average yearly salary for an NFL player is $1.9 million/year (Gazette Review, March 3, 2017). These amazing people have risen above their beginnings and are now millionaires. They have fame, fortune and are doing what they love. They are living the American dream. So, why protest the country and the flag that stands for the very freedom that enabled them to achieve

their success? This country is not perfect. There is work to be done to assure equality among all people. Progress has been made over the years, and more is coming. Professional football players are not typically patient, they want action. However, actions against the very country that has enabled them to attain so much in misdirected. “Taking a knee” is having an adverse effect. It is creating more divisiveness in the country. Devout football lovers are now spending their Sunday afternoons playing golf, doing yard work and reading books instead. Granted, this is yielding a positive effect in most households; however, it is not for the NFL. As this season continues and revenues dwindle, the organization and the players will suffer. The season just started, but people have already sworn off football this year, if not indefinitely. Vickilyn Alvey Litchfield Park

Invest in quality education Editor: There is no doubt that the Southwest Valley is headed in the right direction. We have seen some of the fastest growth in the nation and unparalleled business investment. Our local elected leaders should be praised for their hard work. There is, however, another factor that is playing a key role in our success – our schools. Litchfield Elementary School District and the Agua Fria Union High School District offer some of the best education in the entire Valley. This November, they are having an override election to continue the quality, invest in teacher pay, school nurses, accelerated academics and other programs. These overrides are crucial to their continued success. Even if you don’t have students in these schools, you are still reaping the benefits of quality, competitive education. Our schools protect our property values, attract economic opportunities and reduce crime in our cities. Good

schools are the best thing we can support to help our communities and our resale values. The vote by mail ballot should be in your mailbox soon. Don’t ignore it. Join me in voting “yes” for our schools! Paul Bentz Goodyear

Vote ‘yes’ for Buckeye Valley fire bond Editor: The Buckeye Valley Fire District Fire Bond is an important step forward for the district. I have been employed with the fire district for almost 12 years. The fire district has allowed me to provide for my wife and three children. A “yes” vote will allow the fire district to continue and improve the service the district provides to the community. Since I have moved to Buckeye, I have lived within the Buckeye Valley Fire District’s jurisdiction and can say first hand that the men and women of BVFD have given and will give their best to each and every customer they encounter. The fire bond will help the Buckeye Valley Fire District with being able to serve the community better by allowing for upgraded equipment

like SCBAs (self-contained breathing apparatus), personal protective equipment (PPE), defibrillation monitors for ALS (advanced life support) calls, new apparatus to replace the older outdated apparatus, and land acquisitions for future stations within the district. This is the first bond election for the fire district since its inception in 1949. As a resident and employee of the Fire District, I fully support this bond and will continue to support my brothers and sisters of the Buckeye Valley Fire District. Remember a “yes” vote for Buckeye Valley Fire Bond! Jason Jessamine Buckeye

We’re way too sensitive. Does that offend you? ‘Sorry.’ By David Leibowitz

Once upon a time, I hosted a talk radio program for a living. It was easy work, because I have been talking virtually non-stop since childhood, and saying stupid things has always come naturally to me. I left behind professional jabbering 10 years ago, which is for the best. Because, to say the least, we as a society have become entirely too sensitive. Any more, it feels like every time you turn around, someone new is being fired, excoriated on social media or being forced to apologize publicly for offending someone. Back in the day, we lamented the “P.C. Police” enforcing political correctness. Today, it’s more like P.C. Crips and P.C. Bloods, rival gangs with massive memberships looking to throw down over the slightest offense. As a case in point, take last week’s headlines. In Chandler, the local chapter of the Little People of America got exercised over the Rockin’ Taco Street Fest, which offered as entertainment something

Mostly because it makes them easier to avoid, or, when I meet them, to make fun of them to their faces. Or their hoods, as the case may be. Unfortunately, that’s become virtually impossible to do in America, circa 2017. Nowadays, everyone has two voices. There’s the voice we use with friends, which expresses what we truly feel at a heart level. Then there’s the P.C. voice for public consumption – the voice we cleanse to avoid getting in trouble. Personally, I don’t want your apology. I want you to have the guts to say what you believe to my face. Then we can do what Americans used to do: Talk it out, argue and settle our differences, not politely lie and offer fake “I’m sorrys.” David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

Business Briefcase

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. This week we have wonderful new items to get excited about approaching this October, beginning with a possible new IKEA! West Valley folks may not have to drive to Tempe come 2020 to get their goodies. Also in the news, there are great discounts and deals at newly opening stores. But don’t worry! As usual, we have to spruce it up a bit with some good ol’ fun! Now with just under five weeks left until Halloween, another great West Valley fair is coming your way, this time in Litchfield Park! Keep reading for all the details. Here’s the news! IKEA announced on September 21 that the Swedish company is looking to open a Glendale location, the company’s second store in the state. The other one, IKEA Tempe, opened in 2004. If approved by the city of Glendale, the proposed 348,000-square-foot IKEA Glendale is looking to begin construction in Fall 2018, with a planned launch of Spring 2020. IKEA will generate more than 500 jobs during the construction process, with 300 new workers expected to begin upon its 2020 opening. The new location would be located at the southeast corner of Loop 101/Agua Fria Freeway and Bethany Home Road. We’ve been reporting about the new Vitamin Shoppe distribution center in recent issues of West Valley View. Well, it has been slowly ramping up operations and increasing hiring over the past two months. Its official ribboncutting ceremony was September 20. For more information about the recent celebration for the new distribution center, located at 925 N. 127th Avenue in Avondale, see the story in this section. Danby Factory Outlet Store is holding a grand opening and ribboncutting ceremony at its new retail outlet, located at 10397 W. Van Buren Street, Tolleson, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, October 7. The ribbon cutting will begin at 10:30 a.m. If you’re not familiar with Danby, the company began as a family-run business more than 65 years ago. Specializing in a variety of household appliances

and essentials, Danby will offer a 20-percent discount on its goods during this four-hour event. Danby’s products and appliances range from microwaves to refrigerators and air conditioners. On Thursday, October 26, Homeless Youth Connection will host its free Empowering Youth Breakfast. At the breakfast, Homeless Youth Connection will educate people on how they can support the organization and homeless youth. Homeless Youth Connection provides homeless youths with a variety of items and necessities ranging from basic needs like food and clothes to school supplies and training in life skills. The event is from 7 to 8:30 a.m. at Tuscany Falls Golf Resort at Pebble Creek, 16222 Clubhouse Drive, Goodyear. It will be an Arizona tax credit opportunity. The next item on today’s agenda isn’t an event in itself, but a call to all businesses looking to become vendors at a number of Buckeye events. Buckeye’s website hosts an application allowing interested businesses to give a little bit of information and simply check boxes for the events in which they’d like to participate. To apply, simply visit buckeyeaz.org/events/ and follow the link that reads Sign Up to be a Buckeye Events Vendor.

Vitamin Shoppe’s Avondale distribution center opens By Connor Dziawura

Vitamin Shoppe runs on three ideas: “inspire, nourish and thrive every day,” according to CEO Colin Watts. Celebrating its 40th anniversary, Vitamin Shoppe is continuing to emphasize those concepts with the launch of an Avondale distribution center. The New Jersey-based company hosted a grand opening and ribboncutting ceremony on Wednesday, September 20. “It was a very unique idea back in the day; this idea of a retailer that did nothing but focus on supplements and products to help people be healthy,” Watts said. “A lot of people in this world go to doctors, go to nurses – I do, too – when I’m sick…But there are very few places, actually, that you can go to when you are healthy to stay healthier, and when you want to do a little bit better for yourself, a place that can help you to do a little bit better for yourself.” The omni-channel specialty retailer, however, fills that gap in the market. By selling vitamins, multivitamins

in 45 states, with 12 in Arizona. While having just celebrated its opening, Avondale’s new climatecontrolled, 187,000-square-foot distribution center, located on West Van Buren Street and North 127th Avenue, has been slowly ramping operations for the past several months. Having chosen Arizona as the best place to serve the West Coast, the new facility services Southern and Northern California, Dallas – Fort Worth, the Pacific Northwest, and Hawaii and China, according to process manager Matthew Ryan. “We’ve been operating now for about two months,” Ryan said. “It started slowly with just shipments coming in, getting stuff on the shelves, a lot of inbound activity. Kind of all our activity was focused on getting stuff on the shelves and all that.” Once the plant is fully operational, Ryan estimates Vitamin Shoppe will employ upward of 80 to 90 employees during the weekday shifts and 40 to 50 from Friday through Sunday. Jobs at Vitamin Shoppe’s distribution center, however, don’t necessarily require prior experience in that industry. “We’re definitely willing to train anybody who wants to come in and learn and has that positive work ethic,” Ryan said. “If they’ve got experience, even better.” With the support of the local community, Vitamin Shoppe could bring operations to the West Valley.

The 187,000-square-foot distribution center is located at Coldwater Depot Logistics Center in Avondale.

“The City of Avondale has been awesome. The police department; the fire department; the city planning department. It’s been great,” said Jeremy Smith, the new facility’s general manager. “Also thank you to the engineers, the construction team, the ownership and the management team. It’s just been seamless throughout; really helping us get this building ready to go. So, thank you to them.” While the process began with the goal of serving the West Coast, Avondale was ultimately chosen as the best possible location for such an operation. “This was a germ of an idea a couple years ago,” Watts said. “We looked across the country. We could have chosen a lot of different markets... we decided on Avondale because we heard there were great, great people in this community. We knew that there was an amazing, amazing council and government here to work with us, and they’ve been, honestly, nothing but amazing to work with.” Vitamin Shoppe Distribution Center 925 N. 127th Avenue Avondale Vitaminshoppe.com

Valley high school pregame football music runs gamut By Rafael Alvarez

Football now comes with a soundtrack. From high school to the NFL, athletes can be spotted before games with a popular piece of equipment. Headphones. In the Valley, the music high school players and coaches listen to ranges from hardcore rap by Tupac to gospel. “Football is definitely and mostly business, but music puts the emotion in it and gets you going and gets you hyped before the game,” said Goodyear Millennium wide receiver Aidan Diggs. “(It) definitely gets your mind right depending on the song, and just makes you want to go out there and do big things.” Rap is a popular choice among players. For Diggs, defensive tackle Frankie Hollinquest and quarterbacks Ernie Pina and Zareq Brown, rappers Lil Yachty, 21 Savage, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti and Young Thug are their motivation tools of choice. “I think music (plays) a big part on your performance,” said Desert Edge offensive lineman Max Wilhite. “Before a game, you’re trying to get your jitters out, and the music really helps you with all the teammates together dancing, so it really gets you motivated for the game.” Not everyone turns to rap, however. Millennium coach Lamar Early has adapted to the music his players listen to, but he turns to more relaxing music on his pregame playlist. “I’m a gospel guy, so oldies,” Early said. “Fred Hammond, all day. It kind of soothes me, it calms me down.” The idea that music can enhance an athlete’s performance is one backed by scientific studies. According to author Costas Karageorghis, who spent 25 years studying music and its effect on the brain, music can enhance mood, improve muscle control and help the brain build key muscle memories. “When the brain is listening to music, it lights up like a Christmas tree,” Karageorghis told PBS. “It’s an ideal stimulus because it reaches (parts of the brain) that can’t easily be reached.” Listening to music activates various major parts of the brain at once and causes those parts to work in harmony, according to Karageorghis’ research.

The areas of the brain it stimulates are areas critical to athletic performance: the parietal lobe (motor functions), the occipital lobe (vision and coordination), the temporal lobe (pitch, tone and structure), and the frontal lobe (emotion). Another study done by researchers at Brunel University showed that music can enhance endurance by 15 percent. High school athletes’ thoughts on music seem to line up with the research findings. Karageorghis said that music can enhance mood and increase confidence. Goodyear Desert Edge coach Jose Lucero said music is something his team uses quite often. “We have music on at every single practice,” Lucero said. “It keeps the rhythm up a little bit. On game days, I think it helps most of the kids get their minds right.” For Lucero, he said his players’ music is not “too terrible,” but still tries to mix in some of his music here and there. “We always make sure we put on the clean versions, but we do try to mix in our old school stuff,” Lucero said. “We’ll try to mix in a little Tupac radio every now and then, and things like that for some of these young kids, but that’s about it.” Not everyone turns to pregame music to get their adrenaline going. Desert Edge wide receiver Treyvon Williams watches videos of athletes he respects. “I watch Deion Sanders, I watch Kam Chancellor’s highlights, players that inspire me to do better and be a great player,” Williams said. At Buckeye Union High School, quarterback Joseph Perez said he listens to rappers Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, Eminem and Kanye West for his pregame music, while wide receiver Albert Buelna also stays within the rap genre. “The song I listen to before we get to the game is ‘White Iverson’ by Post Malone,” Buelna said. “That one really pumps me up. It’s pumped me up since last year.” Karageorghis’ findings also revealed that syncing the tempo of music to an athlete’s heart rate can improve stamina, speed and athletic performance. Although players might

believe this to be true, some coaches have a different perspective. “I definitely think it’s inside their wheelhouse, in their culture, or so they think,” Buckeye High coach Kelley Moore said. “I think the major issue isn’t the music, it’s the matter of thinking they can concentrate while the music’s playing.” “For the kids today, it’s a pretty big deal,” Lucero said. “They love their music. We bring their speakers with us, to road games even, so they Albert Buelna stays within the rap genre to get pumped up can listen to music in for a game.

Sewing center teaches children life skills WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

By Veronica Galek

Kids don’t just learn how to sew on a button at Little People’s Sewing Center in Goodyear. They absorb life lessons. “The main objective, after I teach a child to sew, is the economics of sewing,” said Saundra Varnado, owner. “Parents will never spend money on a present again. When it comes time for a gift for a birthday party or a sleepover, the child will make it.” Her month-long classes for children and adults teach students to be creative with items like tissue holders, purse covers and clothing. She also offers summer camps for sewing, which she said is a lost art. “It’s hard to get them into sewing for themselves,” Varnado said. “They want to create gifts. They’re so proud of what they do.” Little People’s Sewing Center hosts “Children Sewing for Children” twice a year. Students spend all day sewing and creating various necessities for those in need. “Children need to learn that they are privileged, and there are children who have less,” Varnado said. “If you have a child sew something for another child, the child who receives it appreciates it more and the child who’s doing it appreciates doing it more.” Fourth-grade Adriana Gabriella visits the center to sew items for a gift drawer. Then, during the holidays, she has plenty of gift options for friends and family. She recently surprised her grandmother, who influenced her to sew, with a purse cover she made in class.

“When I was a child, I spent time with my grandma and I always used to see her sew and she showed my sister to sew,” Gabriella said. “I wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine, too.” Beyond sewing, Varnado teaches children the value of clothing and all of the hard work that goes into creating apparel. She said she believes that her students feel more confident when they go out into the world wearing clothing that they made. “Can you imagine someone giving you compliments on something you’re wearing, and they think you bought it?” Varnado said. “Children who know how to sew are harder to bully, because they have more self-esteem. You think more of yourself.” The sewing machines at the center are digitized, with computer screens and the ability for students to save favorite settings. Everything is controlled with a button, instead of pedals. “If you buy a sewing machine, you can get one that just does a zig-zag stitch with a knob,” Varnado said. “That doesn’t do much, and that is not going to hold a child’s interest.” Even though the sewing machines are modern, Varnado stresses the importance of hands-on projects like sewing on a button and other basic tasks. Classes are available for adults, too. Emma Juarez and her daughter, Beila, are among the students. “I started at Phoenix College doing their fashion program,” Juarez said. “I met my husband and had a baby, so I

Texas Roadhouse to donate proﬁts to Red Cross By West Valley View staff

Texas Roadhouse locations nationwide will donate 100 percent of their profits to the American Red Cross and other organizations to help communities impacted by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on Wednesday, September 27. The Texas Roadhouse at 15255 W. McDowell Road, Goodyear, will participate between 3:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The company provided more than

50,000 meals to shelters and first responders after the storms. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Texas Roadhouse opened its doors in 1993 and has more than 500 locations in 49 states and six countries. The familyfriendly restaurant is known for handcut steaks, made-from-scratch sides and fresh-baked bread. For more information, visit texasroadhouse.com.

kind of left that. I left that dream, but it’s always been with me, and I started getting classes for myself and my daughter.” Ultimately, Varnado’s hope is to bring children back to basics. “Women today have choices,” Varnado said. “It’s no longer fashionable to brag about not knowing how to sew

on a button and giggle about it. It’s not funny anymore.” Little People’s Sewing Center 13291 W. McDowell Road Goodyear 623-322-8080 littlepeoplessewingcenter.com

Women deliver clothes to Kneaders selling elephant Texas hurricane families merchandise for research

By Cindy Mae Howard

The Gomez family of Buckeye saw the Texas hurricane’s devastation and decided they needed to do something about it. Dora Gomez and her husband, Jaime, collected 1,500 pounds of donated clothing, toys and blankets, loaded them into the back of a truck and delivered them to families in Wharton, Texas. “It was my nieces Samantha Davis and Laura Contreras, who initiated the drive,” Dora said. “They suggested we collect clothes and drive to Texas.” The objective was an 18-hour drive to Wharton and The Holy Family Church. They donned T-shirts emblazoned with “Arizona loves Texas,” donated by Sherry’s Kreations of Buckeye. For the journey, Davis upgraded her rental car to a Nissan Frontier truck for the trip. Contreras drove and found a church in Texas. Dora took over social media duties and posted the clothing drive on Facebook and Instagram. “We had more items that we couldn’t fit in the truck, but Laura contacted a church in Phoenix and they had a semi

going to Texas,” Dora said with a smile. “All the donations made it to Texas.” The Rev. Bob Knippenberg warmly greeted the group, accepted the donations to families at the church. Dora served as an interpreter for several families who lost everything. “What they received from the church was three days’ worth of: canned goods, clothing, blankets, pillows, toiletries, a boom and mop and cleaning supplies,” she said. After three days if the families needed more they were able to return, she added. Some requests were specific. A family and their young daughter of 7 or 8 asked Dora if she had dresses. Contreras found a pink dress for the girl. “When we found another pink and white dress for her. “The little girl had such a big smile on her face when she received the two dresses. The mom kept thanking us for taking the time out of our lives to come and help them. We learned later that school was starting the next day.”

Red Cross urges donors of all blood types to help maintain a diverse supply By West Valley View staff

The American Red Cross urges eligible donors of all races and ethnicities to give blood to help ensure a diverse blood supply for patients in need. Some blood types are unique to certain racial and ethnic groups, so a diverse blood supply is important to meeting the medical needs of an increasingly diverse patient population. Patients who need repeated transfusions, like 11-year-old Tymia McCullough, who has sickle cell disease, must have blood that is matched very closely. Patients are less likely to have complications from blood donated by someone with a similar ethnicity. Donors of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, as well as all blood

types, are needed to help patients fight sickle cell disease, alpha thalassemia and other illnesses. Make an appointment to give blood by downloading the free Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). To help reduce wait times, donors are encouraged to make appointments and complete the RapidPass online health history questionnaire at redcrossblood. org/RapidPass. West Valley residents have the opportunity to donate blood between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday, October 10, at the Southwest Family YMCA, 2919 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear.

Daughters bring Revolutionary War history to the masses By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

The Buckeye Valley Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution are keeping patriotism and American history alive. The 30-member group recently took its lessons to West Valley schools to reiterate the importance of the constitution. They visited Arlington Elementary in Arlington; Palo Verde Elementary in Palo Verde; Ruth Fisher Elementary in Tonopah; and Tartesso Elementary in Buckeye. The visits were part of Constitution Week, September 17 to September 13. The DAR also set up a display at the Buckeye Public Library Coyote Branch and rang bells at City Hall in honor of the Constitution’s signing. “I told the kids about the background of our organization,” said Jackie DeMare, the group’s regent. “I talked about the Constitution. Betsy Ross, otherwise known as Lynn Jonson, came in with the flag with the 13 stars and stripes. They really enjoyed that part of it. “(Betsy) said, ‘One day, these three men came in. One was George Washington.’ In every classroom,

there was this collective intake of breath like ‘Oh my gosh. It’s George Washington.’” DeMare said the Daughters of the American Revolution entertained the kids and provided historical information. “We do public work for patriotism to keep the flag in everyone’s mind,” DeMare explained. “Historic preservation, historic education and patriotism: That’s what the DAR is all about.” The DAR is a nonprofit, nonpolitical worldwide organization formed in 1890 devoted to promoting historic preservation, education and patriotic endeavor. By joining DAR, women are given the opportunity through community service to give back. It is a way to keep American and family history alive. There are more than 170,000 DAR members serving in 3,000 chapters worldwide. The Buckeye Valley DAR was organized on June 11, 2006, with 14 charter members and it serves the Buckeye Valley, Liberty, Palo Verde, Tonopah and Arlington. It meets at 1

SCHOOLS

Scouts make an impact on the community WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Whether they’re in elementary school or just finishing high school, boys and girls are improving themselves and the communities through scouting. One of them is 14-year-old Avondale resident Elijah Hamstra, who is working toward his Eagle Scout ranking. His project is to build a sunshade at Soldier’s Best Friend, a Peoria-based nonprofit that provides veterans living with combat-related post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury with service or therapeutic companion dogs. Most of the animals are rescued from local shelters. “I want to help encourage them to stay after meals and be more social,” said Hamstra, a student at Northwest Christian School. “I’m going to build the sunshade so they can have barbecues and other events.” Hamstra, who has been in scouting since the first grade, heard about Soldier’s Best Friend from his grandmother, a Pebble Creek resident. To fund his project, the ninth-grader is holding a spaghetti dinner from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Sunday, October 1, at Church at Litchfield Park, 300 N. Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park. Tickets are $10 at the door. The Troop 99 member is hoping to raise $2,000. The project’s original estimate was $10,000. However, thanks to Booth Industries, the cost was reduced to $3,000. He has already raised half. Scouting runs in Hamstra’s family. His two older brothers, Jonah, 17, and Noah, 19, are Eagle Scouts as well. They were encouraged by their parents, Paul and Tiffani. “I encouraged them because they’re learning about leadership and working together as a team,” Tiffani said. “They learn a lot of skills such as first aid, cooking, camping and surviving.” For his project, Jonah landscaped and built a foundation for Maggie’s

Place, a Phoenix nonprofit that provides houses of hospitality and ongoing support to help pregnant and parenting women in need reach their goals. Jonah was involved with the Pocket Flag Project, during which he taught students how to fold flags. He then asked the kids to insert notes into little flags that fit in the pockets of soldiers on the front lines.

Canyon View High School to start classes next fall

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | SEPTEMBER 27, 2017

By Connor Dziawura

Canyon View High School, a new state-of-the-art high school in Waddell, will fly its colors – royal blue, black and white – next year. Agua Fria Union High School District, DLR Group and Chasse Building Team hosted a tour and beam signing at the campus, which recently reached the halfway construction point, on Wednesday, September 13. The campus is an innovative undertaking for the district, with it and construction teams hoping to set educational trends. “One of the ideas of this school is that learning occurs everywhere and the spaces in between the so-called classrooms or learning spaces are just as important as the classrooms themselves,” said David Schmidt, DLR Group’s lead architect on the project. “So really looking at the idea of a campus-style school but looking at the negative space between the buildings as an important part of this.” This idea emphasized by Schmidt is apparent through the construction of the Agora, Canyon View’s central outdoor area. The Agora’s main construction ideas are shade, air speed, cooling breezes, humidification and radiant temperature, according to Schmidt. “All of those together are the idea that we could create a space that was comfortable for most of the school day through most of the school year,” he added. The focal point of the Agora is the Accelerator, a multitude of different

learning environments grouped together. Separated from the rest of the Agora by an operable hangar door, this allows interior and exterior to meet. With a vertical sliding door and foldable bleachers, the Accelerator provides many opportunities for student exhibitions, conferences and theater events. “The Accelerator is meant to be a couse space.You can have conferences; it’s pliable,” said District Superintendent Dennis Runyan. “There’s a traditional auditorium, but there’s also place for competitions for students.” The Accelerator is comprised of an auditorium, a conference area, the Learning Stair and the White Box, which has broadcasting features to connect the school to the rest of the district’s campuses and the community. “The Accelerator is linked to each of our campuses,” Runyan added. “They have, we’ll call it a mini Accelerator.

They have a spot, an innovation lounge, where they can take classes and they can be linked to the speaker. You can do live back and forth. There’s a lot of creativity there.” The school will also contain multiuse labs and Forts, or small learning communities, which, unlike traditional classrooms, allow instant modifications based on group sizes. This allows lectures to structure themselves in a variety of ways that differ from traditional courses. Outdoor dining, a green wall, high efficiency fans and solar panels are some of the other features of this state-of-the-art campus. “I built a lot of schools, but this school is a one-off,” said Tim Goyette, project manager for Chasse Building Team. “It really is state of the art. It has an A/V integrated in all the classrooms. It’s an interactive learning environment. One of the things with schools nowadays is they’re becoming a lot more collaborative spaces, so this building takes the Verrado model of open classrooms and takes it to the next level.”

Adding that the building is a “teaching tool,” Goyette noted that much of the school’s structure will be exposed, allowing students to see the inner workings of the building for inspiration. “We are a high school that has a STEM focus,” said Phillip Nowlin, Canyon View’s principal. “We are not a STEM high school, because we are a group of high schools that covers the gamut of everything that we need to do, but we do have a STEM focus. We will have programs in health sciences and agriculture and business technology.” Canyon View High School will open on August 6, 2018. The district is projecting 400 students will start classes at the 300,000-plus-squarefoot campus, with a capacity of 1,800 students anticipated upon the first class’ graduation. “Our goal is for this to be kind of trendsetting what high schools do in the future and how you look at learning and construction and merge those things together best for student success,” Nowlin said.

PALO VERDE TAKES A BREAK

Palo Verde Elementary School has incorporated fitness into the classroom, thanks to physical education teacher Logan Dewe. Each Wednesday, Dewe encourages kids to stop what they’re doing and take a 10-minute fitness break. The ritual has become popular with the kids and the teachers. Dewe takes this break seriously. Sometimes the exercise is intense. Other times, he may include a ball game to work on the kids’ hand-eye coordination. He said he hopes the routine will instill in the children the importance of exercise. (Photo courtesy Melissa Hodge)

Jay Angus

Our beloved, Jay Angus, 72, of Litchfield Park, AZ passed away peacefully surrounded by his loving family on the morning of July 31, 2017 after a commendable battle with cancer. Born July 29, 1945 in Lehi, Utah, Jay spent his younger years working the family farm and developing an ethic that bolstered his character throughout his life. Jay studied at Utah State University and served as an officer in the Army National Guard for 8 years achieving the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. A formidable man, he pursued what was a very successful career in construction; a trade which he learned from his father. Utilizing the skills and experiences he acquired both in school and the military, Jay began his professional career in 1971 for Boise Cascade in their modular home manufacturing division. His talents apparent right from the start, Jay was promoted expeditiously to plant manager. His success in driving efficiency and creating profit earned him the responsibility of turning around under-performing plants in the system. In 1985, Jay continued his career serving as general manager and corporate consultant to modular home manufacturing companies across the nation. Jay lived and worked in 12 U.S. states, before Arizona became his home in 1997. Jay retired from Champion Home Builders of Chandler, AZ in 2009. In retirement, he served the community as a school bus driver. It was always enjoyable to hear the stories of his travels and unique experiences. His devoted and meaningful life was centered on family, work and our Lord Christ Jesus. Jay was baptized on January 16, 2005 and spent many years learning, developing and experiencing a relationship with Christ which he cherished deeply. Jay is survived by the love of his life, Dolores, to whom he was married for 20 years; his siblings Donald and Barbara; his children Melissa, Jarid, Megan, Melinda and Rob; his 12 grandchildren; and was preceded in death by his son Jason. Jay Angus, affectionately known as "Bird", was cremated and his ashes interned at the Church of Litchfield Park, Garden of Memories. A "Celebration of Life" memorial service will be held on October 7, 2017 @ 9:30 a.m. at The Church of Litchfield Park, 300 N Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park, AZ 85340.
