Goodyear bans teen smoking and vaping BY TOM SCANLON
West Valley View Associate Editor
Teen smoking and vaping in Goodyear just went up in smoke … After several presentations and discussions, at 7:38 p.m. on Sept. 23, Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord called for a vote. And Goodyear proceeded to make history. Councilmembers Bill Stipp, Joe Pizzillo, Sheri Lauritano, Wally Campbell, Brannon Hampton, Laura Kaino and Lord all said “aye” to a motion to revise Goodyear’s city code. Thus, Goodyear became the first Valley city to ban teen vaping. While the e-cigarettes (commonly known as Customer Steve Blankenship, left, and owner Alex Nelson, both opposed to Goodyear’s vaping) portion of the vaping law, at the Vapor Vault.

Goodyear one of magazine’s ‘best places to live’ BY TOM SCANLON
West Valley View Associate Editor
Forget about much-hyped cities like Scottsdale, Surprise, Fountain Hills, Chandler, Mesa and Phoenix. They didn’t make the list. Goodyear did. Goodyear is one of the 100 best places to live in the United States, according to Money magazine. Money ranked Goodyear No. 22 in the country, just after Columbia, Maryland,
and Spring Valley, Nevada. No other Arizona city or town made the list. Goodyear was ahead of Asheville, North Carolina (No. 27), Arlington, Virginia (No. 30), Bend, Oregon (No. 34) and Santa Fe, New Mexico (No. 41). While that may raise some eyebrows, Todd Heilesen of West USA Realty, for one, gets it. “I’ve lived here since 2002, I’ve raised my family here, so that does not surprise me given all Goodyear has to offer and
the growth, all of the shopping and restaurants, the parks,” Heilesen said. “It’s a great place to raise a family.” Newcomers to Goodyear, the realtor said, are “impressed with how well kept the community is. Driving down Litchfield Road lined with palm trees, the general feel.” The Money magazine story was titled “The Best Places to Live in America:

We need to act now to save our city and save our kids.” At the Sept. 23, meeting, Geier stressed his police department will use a 90-day “grace period” before potential enforcements with actively educating the community, particularly in schools. The fines range from up to $500 for first-time underage offenders to up to $20,000 for businesses selling to customers under 21. Alex Nelson, for one, wasn’t buying the whole notion. During the public comments section, he was the only one to speak. Nelson, the owner of the Vapor Vault store in Goodyear, insisted e-cigarettes

are much safer than tobacco. “Why are we continuing to criminalize vapes?” he demanded. “All you’re going to do is hurt small businesses in the City of Goodyear,” Nelson said. “What we need to do is increase the fines for children who are caught smoking or vaping.” A few days later, Nelson was at his vape shop on Dysart Road and East Van Buren Street. He was still upset, saying Goodyear council “is creating more opportunity for crime,” suggesting a black market for vapes will arise. He complained, his 18-to-21 customers “will literally walk across the street” to Smoke Away, a vape shop on the Avondale side of Dysart Road. Two of Nelson’s older customers, Steve Blankenship and Mindy Lambectus, both from Tonopah, were asked about the new Goodyear law on vaping. “I think it’s crap,” said Blankenship, 43. “If you’re 18, you’re old enough to join the military, you’re old enough to die for your country. You should be
able to smoke or vape.” He said he has been vaping for two years, which helped him quit smoking tobacco. “I feel great,” he said. “I don’t smoke tobacco anymore, I don’t even drink anymore.” He added his 65-year-old mother used vaping to quit smokNelson at his vape ing cigarettes as Alex Pablo Robles) well. Same for Lambectus, who quit smoking tobacco seven years ago. “I’ve got a son who’s 18,” she said. “He works, he’s got his own place to live. Who am I to say he can’t vape?” Nelson, who was listening in, smiled. “You guys are great,” he said to his reg-

Question & Answer: Goodyear and youth vaping/smoking BY TOM SCANLON
West Valley View Associate Editor
After the landmark Goodyear City Council vote on Sept. 23, which raised the age of purchasing e-cigarette and tobacco products to 21 in the city, the West Valley View emailed questions on the topic to Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord and the council: Bill Stipp, Joe Pizzillo, Sheri Lauritano, Wally Campbell, Brannon Hampton and Laura Kaino. The questions and their answers (Stipp and Lauritano did not respond): Q: When did you first consider vaping to be a problem? Lord: “It’s been a rising concern of mine since the products became available and we began to see vape cartridg-
es littering our public parks. “As time went on, it was apparent that we needed to expand our current no-smoking ordinance to include vape and vape products. Our police officers have been receiving an influx of calls involving kids vaping on school property.” Hampton: “I’d say probably when the police chief mentioned the kids were getting the materials underage. And also the high schools were having a significant number of calls.” Pizzillo: “The city of Goodyear Police Department has an amazing school resource program and our officers work in close collaboration with our schools. Over the last few years, our officers have been responding to more

and more vaping calls. Last year the problem was particularly acute, and the Goodyear Police Department responded to hundreds of vaping related incidents in our high schools. That is when I knew we had a big issue.” Campbell: “I have been concerned about vaping and the impact on our kids for some time. In the spring, I was contacted by a principal because vaping had become a crisis at their school. I spoke to the police chief, and he reported that our school resource officers were responding to hundreds of vaping calls. This situation had become untenable and the council needed to take action to address this crisis in our community.”

Q: What about those who say “kids can just go to Avondale or Buckeye to buy vape stuff”? Lord: “We hope we’ve created an inconvenience for our young adults and they become discouraged by the additional efforts needed to purchase these products.” Kaino: “We understand that there are other ways our youth can purchase vape products, but hope our neighbors will take a look at this issue and make decisions for the benefit of their communities. Nevertheless, the Council was united that this was the right decision for Goodyear.

Hampton: “If someone did ask me that, I’d probably say, ‘We’re doing what we can in Goodyear.’” Q: How do you respond to people who say “this is just another example of the government being invasive on our rights”? Hampton: “I’d say I think it’s about the same as alcohol and other things. It’s a health issue. I don’t think we’re breaking ground too aggressively.” Lord: “I respect their comments and everyone has the right to their own opinion. However, when you regularly hear from schools, parents and the overall community about their concerns and urging us to take action, I think we made the right choice in passing the ordinance.” Q: How do you respond to people who say “at 18 someone can die for our country but they can’t choose to buy vapes or cigarettes?” Lord: “I am a military wife and two of my children also served our great nation, so I understand these comments. The ordinance was passed to keep tobacco and vape products out of the hands of the younger generations. We hope older siblings will be less inclined to purchase these products for their younger siblings and contribute to this epidemic.” Kaino: “This aspect of the ordinance was the most difficult for me, personally. All three of my children enlisted in the military at 17 and two went to war in the Middle East. Despite their service, they could not drink alcohol even though they were adults. What convinced me of the need to change the minimum age was the connection between the older teens and minors. There are some 18 year olds still in high school, and we need to ensure they are not buying vaping or tobacco products for minors. This is a major crisis that’s finally getting national attention, and hopefully sparking more conversations in families, schools, clubs and churches. I asked my 13-year-old grandson who attends a public K-8 school in Peoria about vaping and he knows that kids vape at school. This problem is bigger than Goodyear.” Q: Why did you think it was important to act on this, rather than waiting for the state or federal government to take action? Lord: “When it comes to protecting our children, we can’t waste time. Vaping is a growing epidemic; people are dying. Besides, there is no guarantee of when or if our state or the federal government will take action.” Kaino: “As local leaders, parents and grandparents, we felt an urgency to act. When the state failed to pass legislation last year, we knew that it would be a long wait for them to go through the process again with no guarantee of success. For us as a non-partisan council, it’s not about politics, but rather the health and well-being of our children.” Campbell: “I believe a statewide solution would be best and we would be happy to work with the legislature and the governor to address this issue. However, when our schools and police come to the council with a crisis, we are not going

to wait for the state to act, we are going to do what is best to protect the kids in our community.” Pizzilo: “When it comes to protecting our kids, we are not going to wait around for the state or federal government to act. Our council wanted to take the lead and be proactive to address this serious issue.” Hampton: “Because we saw it as an imminent issue that was already affecting our community.” Q: What positive response have you
received? Lord: “We’ve received praise from parents, health providers, and our public safety officers all thanking us for taking action on something that is affecting the community on a daily basis.” Pizzillo: “I have received very positive comments from residents thanking us for taking action to protect our children. I believe that it is also very important that we continue our educa-

I believe our residents are happy that our city is taking the lead on this issue, and I am proud that we are proactively responding to the concerns of our parents, teachers and schools to protect our kids.” Q: What negative response have you received? Lord: “There has been limited negative response to our decision, but the majority of the comments received are positive.” Pizzillo: “During our council meeting, a local business suggested that instead of raising the age of vaping sales we should fine the parents of children vaping in school. I disagree. I believe we must educate our students and parents about the risks of vaping, and do everything we can to keep these dangerous products away from our kids.” Q: The age to purchase tobacco in Goodyear was also raised to 21 - do you think this was overshadowed by the vaping issue?
Lord: “The fact of the matter is that vaping is the topic of discussion across the nation, so there may be some truth to this statement. This is why it was important that a 90-day educational period be included so that our community and business partners are well informed of these changes.” Hampton: “I think there was some confusion about people about that. The vaping is the more attention grabber. I’m not 100% sure if people ended up realizing it (raised) the tobacco age as well. It’s pretty clear in our ordinance we raised them both up.” Q: What do you think the major challenges and/or costs will be to implement this? Lord: “The Goodyear Police Department is taking the lead to educate our business partners on the recent changes. Officers will meet, in person, with those who sell tobacco products to make sure they are well-educated on our laws. In addition, school resource officers will continue to visit with students and teachers to make sure they are aware of our new ordinance and the dangers of vaping and smoking. There will be no extra costs. Because of the 90-day education period, we don’t anticipate any major challenges.”

Goodyear City Council didn’t just show up at its last meeting and suddenly decide, “Hey, gang, let’s raise the vaping age!” The decision was a rather meticulous one, about a year in the making. Last fall, councilmembers started discussing with Goodyear Police Chief Jerry Geier what some felt was “an epidemic” of vaping at Goodyear high schools. Here is a summary of what led up to council’s vote to raise the age to purchase vaping and tobacco products to 21 and ban vaping in schools, parks and trails:
One of many vaping devices on the market. (West Valley View photo by Pablo Robles.)
May 19: Geier gave copies of a “yellow paper” to councilmembers. Excerpts of “Electronic Cigarettes and Vaping in Goodyear Schools”: “The purpose of this yellow paper is to provide information regarding the issue of electronic cigarettes (vaping) and their increased usage in Goodyear schools. “Background and Problem Statement: … E-cigarettes entered the U.S. marketplace in 2007, and by 2014 were the most commonly used tobacco product among high school students according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Their easy availability, alluring advertisements, various flavors, and the belief that they’re safer than cigarettes have helped make them appealing to this age group. “...More than 460 different e-cigarette brands are currently on the market, and they can resemble futuristic, mechanical cigars or look like everyday household devices such as thumb drives, inhalers, pens, lipstick tubes, sticks of gum, or erasers. The liquid in the e-cigarette is called e-liquid or e-juice. Most of the e-liquids contain highly concentrated nicotine along with other potentially toxic chemicals. “...Manufacturers of vaping products promote the premise that e-cigarettes are less harmful than traditional tobacco products, but there is increased
evidence that vaping can be equally or more harmful to the respiratory system than tobacco cigarettes. “... In Arizona, studies show that while consumption of traditional cigarettes has gone down, youth consumption of e-cigarettes has increased dramatically, with more than 19% of high school students now using these products. As a result, Arizona schools are spending increased time and resources combating this growing problem. “Arizona Laws: Under A.R.S. 133622, it is illegal for a minor under age 18 to purchase or possess e-cigarettes or vaping products … School Resource Officers (SROs) report that students at Goodyear schools have confessed to purchasing vaping products easily at local smoke shops without being asked for proof of age. “Goodyear Schools: Incidents of e-cigarette use in local schools have increased dramatically in the last year. At Millennium High School, administration reported an increase in all tobacco and drug-related disciplinary actions, including vaping, from 36 incidents in 2017-2018 to 140 incidents in the current school year during the same timeframe. According to SROs, vaping materials are easily obtainable, and detection is challenging because students have become good at hiding paraphernalia. “Local schools have applied for funding for tobacco educational programs

Teacher shortage 25 YEARS OF HONEST SERVICE throughout the state CAMERA SEWER INSPECTION
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 2, 2019
BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
Around the state, 150 schools report 1,443 teacher vacancies. You don’t have to be a math grad student to figure out that’s nearly 10 teachers missing per school. The statistics are from an Arizona School Personnel Administrators Association (ASPAA) survey results confirm. The survey showed about 21% of teacher vacancies across the state this
year remain unfilled, and almost half the vacancies are filled by teachers who do not meet the state’s certification requirements. Arizona teacher pay remains one of the lowest in the country, even with the recent education budget increase. Laura Elizondo, human resources director of the Avondale Elementary School District, is president of ASPAA. She said teacher shortages in the West Valley reflect the state trend.

Job growth in the surrounding county increased by 23.1% from 2010 to 2018, and is projected to go up 7.7% by 2023.” The weather also looked pretty good, to the Money folks: “Goodyear gets 296 sunny days a year, and residents enjoy stunning desert landscapes nestled beneath Estrel-
la Mountain Regional Park. There are two man-made lakes to help beat the Arizona heat, or folks can take a dip in the Gila River. Sports fans enjoy ballgames at the renowned Goodyear Ballpark, spring training home to the Cincinnati Reds and Cleveland Indians.” Reporter Chloe Wilt tied in some history in the story. “It’s only about a 25-minute drive, barring traffic, to arrive in downtown Phoenix, which offers a wide variety of bars and restaurants. If the city’s name sounds familiar, you should know that Goodyear was, in fact, founded over 100 years ago by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Factory as a place to grow cotton for its tires. There’s one more connection to a well-known brand: a Snyder’s of Hanover pretzel factory is also in town.”

Goodyear + Surprise + Peoria = paramedicine pilot program BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
What do Goodyear, Surprise and Peoria have in common? Paramedicine. Though they are not close neighbors, these three cities will continue working together via a paramedicine pilot program. Paramedicine is also known as emergency medical services. On Sept. 23, Goodyear City Council made it official by approving an intergovernmental agreement with Peoria and Surprise to continue the joint program. The Peoria Fire-Medical Department was awarded the Community Paramedicine Grant from UnitedHealthcare, allowing the cities to continue the program for another year. “The collaborative partnership across the three cities is what makes the community paramedicine project so special,” said Goodyear Fire Chief Paul Luizzi. “Providing compassion and care with consistency is what the fire departments are known for and we’re grateful to receive this grant to continue to meet the proactive needs of the community.” The grant is $175,000 for a one-year

Referrals or resources are to be provided to try and lessen the reliance on the 911 system for non-emergent health care needs. “This program aims to build a healthier community,” said Mayor Cathy Carlat. “By proactively reaching out to those in need, we are able to provide the support our residents need to live their best lives and I’m thrilled to see this program once again offered to our community.” In 2016 and 2017, Goodyear, Surprise and Peoria worked together to establish a regional Community Paramedicine Program through a previous grant awarded by the Vitalyst Foundation. The new grant will allow continued regional service and build on the foundation established by the previous program. “The Surprise Fire-Medical Department is pleased to be working collaboratively with Peoria and Goodyear fire
departments to provide a service that increases the level of service and care to non-emergency patients in need,” said Surprise Fire-Medical Chief Tom Abbott. He added the program allows the departments to maximize efficiency, “while simultaneously reducing overall costs for our health care system, providing more bed space in hospital emergency departments, and keeping fire trucks available to assist residents and visitors that are experiencing emergencies.” The result, agreed Peoria Fire Chief Bobby Ruiz, is a win-win-win. “This grant allows us to continue offering important community paramedicine services to Peoria residents and to our partner cities of Surprise and Goodyear,” said Peoria Fire Chief Bobby Ruiz. “The collaborative proactive approach to community health increases the level of service we can offer to those that we serve.”

Former trooper accused of 61 crimes pleads not guilty BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
Buckeye resident Tremaine Jackson, a former Arizona Department of Public Safety who was fired and then arrested on 61 charges, entered a not guilty plea to the charges on Sept. 27. Jackson was arrested on Sept. 10. He has been released from jail on a $150,000 bond. Pre-trial conferences have been scheduled for Nov. 12 and Dec. 16 at Maricopa County Superior Court. Jackson is being represented by Phoenix attorney David Cantor. A recent press release boasted of suc-
cess of “epic proportion” by Cantor’s firm. “The year 2019 was a milestone of epic proportion for top-rated criminal defense law firm, DM Cantor, as they have accomplished what no other firm in Arizona has done; 150 complete acquittals at jury trial with a verdict of ‘Not Guilty’ on all charges during the firm’s existence,” the release states. “Amassing a record of 150 complete jury trial acquittals is no simple task due to the fact that only a few acquittals happen each year.”
According to the release, in addition to the jury victories over 22 years, Cantor’s accomplishments include: • 2019 Litigator of the Year, Criminal Law, by the American Institute of Trial Lawyers. •Listed in the 2019 Super Lawyers directory and magazine centerfold writeup. • Listed on the Nation’s Top 1% for Criminal Defense. • Top 10 DUI Defense Law Firm in the nation. • Dismissal with prejudice of a cap-
ital murder case and other high-profile cases. Cantor’s website, dmcantor.com, claims of 377 “sex crime victories” and 813 “assault/violent crime victories.” Jackson is accused of illegally pulling over and detaining women late at night. His charges include kidnapping, sexual abuse and unlawful sexual conduct by a peace officer. According to court documents, several of his alleged victims were pulled over by Jackson in the West Valley.
Bedbugs removed from Tolleson Public Library; bookworms return BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
The good news: Tolleson Public Library has a new floor. The bad news: Bedbugs. The two are closely related. On Sept. 17, bedbugs were discovered at the library. “One chair in the library was determined to have bedbugs,” said Pilar Sinawi, spokeswoman for Tolleson. “The furniture in the area was removed
and the entire library was professionally inspected and spot treated.” The infestation was not bad enough to close the library, but Tolleson decided to be proactive and shut down the book hut for a week. “As per the professional pest control company, the treatment did not require closure of the library because the incident was isolated to a single chair,” said Sinawi.
A SMART BET FOR

KIDS
“It was decided to remove the carpet as a precautionary maintenance measure and the removal of the carpet and installation of the vinyl flooring is what caused the closure.” The library re-opened on Sept. 27. So the regularly scheduled and always welcomed bookworms have returned. Sinawi said that, henceforward, “the city is planning on conducting regular-
ly scheduled canine inspections.” You read that right: canine inspections. Dogs can sniff out bedbugs and their eggs. Books and dogs, of course, were famously tied together by the great Groucho Marx, who noted: “Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. “Inside of a dog, it’s too dark to read.”

For example, Millennium High School recently held ‘Vape Night’ evening presentation, and only had 25 attendees out of a student population of 2,200. “There are currently two bills making their way through the Arizona legislature that would change the way e-cigarettes and related products are regulated. S.B. 1147 would raise the age limit to purchase tobacco, e-cigarettes and other nicotine products to 21 years … H.B. 2357, would regulate e-cigarettes and vaping in statute along with tobacco as part of the Smoke-Free Arizona Act. This would prohibit their use in certain areas, raise the legal age for possession to 21, and require proof of age for online sales of vaping products … “To date, neither of these proposed bills has passed out of the legislature.”

Sept. 23: Council unanimously passed the code change, banning vaping in city schools, parks and trails and raising the age to purchase vape and tobacco products to 21.
The fines: “Penalties for any individual found guilty of violating the new city code shall be found guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by: • A fine not exceeding $500 plus surcharges for a 1st violation within any 24 month period. • A fine not exceeding $1,000 plus surcharges for a 2nd violation within any 24 month period. • A fine not exceeding $2,500 plus surcharges for a 3rd violation within any 24 month period. Any enterprise found guilty of the requirements of this section shall also be guilty of a misdemeanor, and punishable by a fine not to exceed $20,000”

Berry said Salgado-Gutierrez picked up several students at their homes and brought them to Precious Home Services. “The bus driver then parked the bus and didn’t follow exit procedures, which includes checking each row on the bus for passengers,” Berry said. “After approximately three hours, the child was located on the empty bus by his mother and facility staff.” The child was transported to the hospital for heat-related issues and was treated and released.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS
Smith’S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
From moonbats to patriots Editor:
Good job, West Valley View, on the Our Readers’ Viewpoints forum! Or, as I think of it, the paper’s “Entertainment” section. It describes the wide diversity of personal biases across America’s political spectrum. You depict everything from the left-leaning to the right-minded. From moonbats to patriots. From the hateful to the heartfelt. From facts to fantasy. Now, that’s truly fair and balanced. As long as we’re still hearing from both sides in our endless dialogues, we know that the bad guys haven’t taken over . . . yet. America the free. How great is that? Ken Williams Goodyear
Don’t be fooled
Editor: When two sides who have contempt for each other disagree on who runs the country, it can be settled through an election. That works, as long as both sides accept the election results. If one party does not accept the election results, there is going to be a problem. The Mueller investigation was always about one thing, and one thing only, which was overturning the results of the 2016 election. In 2000, Democrats tried to delegitimize the Bush Presidency by charging that the Supreme Court handed him the office. If Trump is re-elected in 2020, what are the odds the Democrats will not accept the results? I would say a sure bet. The Democrats will not accept the results of any election which they do not win. This is not dissent or disagreement. When one party constantly rejects valid election results, what that party wants is their very own dictatorship! Our system of government is based on the Constitution. That is not how
Democrats see it. Democrats think that any part of government which they control gets total and unlimited power over the country. The left always tries to move power around to control the country. We cannot be a free country, when FBI agents, who supported Hillary, take out an insurance policy against Trump winning the election. We cannot be a free country when Obama officials engage in a massive unmasking of the opposition. It was, in fact, a coup d’état in slow motion. Don’t be fooled. The Democrats in Congress are laser focused 24/7 on winning the 2020 election. The American public needs to wake up to the threat, because Democrats have blood in their eyes, and are taking no prisoners. Here’s the threat. If Democrats win, they will then be able to pack the Supreme Court, shred the second amendment by outlawing all guns in America, with a fine or imprisonment to those who resist, declare war on fossil fuel, under the guise of saving the planet, and take total control of our economy and health care . They will, in a heartbeat, legalize every illegal alien who is now here, abolish ICE, and open our borders to the world. Demoralizing local police forces with false charges of systemic racism nationwide will happen. That will make us all less safe. They will dismantle our Constitution any way they can. At that point, all our freedoms will be gone. Absolutely everything depends on the2020 election. Democrats understand that, and they are locked and loaded. Scary stuff. The forces of traditional America need to resolve to be just as laser focused, just as dedicated and to work like never before to keep our country, as the looney left will work to destroy it. If we can prevail in 2020 there is a fair chance we can win the culture war, and save the Republic for ourselves and future generations. Roy Azzarello Goodyear
Cable news divides Editor:
I’m gonna try to make this short and simple. Where has the Reagan/Thatcher or neoliberalism, actually worked? All it’s done is polarize the working class and make the richer even richer. Capitalism has never been as deregulated as now. Where’s the proof it works? Stock market is not the real economy, the working class is the real economy and we haven’t seen a raise since. West Valley View readers you really need stop watching cable news. All they do is divide, divide, divide. Damion Armstrong Avondale

ISO brain donor Editor:
After watching the “circus” with Democrat Chair Jerry Nadler and his henchmen grilling Corey Lewandowski, I sent the whole team of democrap henchmen/women a thank you card thanking them for making up my mind to vote for the re-election of President Trump in 2020. In total, I mailed 50 thank you cards to Democrat members of Congress for their help in convincing me that Trump in 2020 is the best choice. If you combine all of their brains, you will NEVER come up with one functioning brain. A few of them are Adam Schiff, the Squad, Bernie Sanders, Kamala, Booker, Beto, Biden, Feinstein, Eric Swalwell, Nadler and Pocahontas.

debt, evidently they don’t balance their own checkbooks. Not a single one of them has a plan to get the homeless off the streets either. I have a Democrat neighbor who tried to convince me that if Trump got elected, we would have huge tax increases. I told him he’s dreaming. When Trump gave us tax cuts and the minimum wage rose and people started taking home more money and unemployment became lowest in history, I asked him when the tax increases will start cause I have my checkbook ready. No answer, of course. Now, he’s all “gung ho” about a Democrat “taking out” Trump in 2020. After all of the major accomplishments, Trump has given the country with the economy, and he did it with his hands tied behind his back with all of the senseless DEMOCRAT WITCH HUNTS, threats of impeachment when there was NOT an impeachable offense of any kind committed, he’s delusional. Not a single democrat believed their own pick to investigate the phony Russian “collusion” when he submitted his report at the end of Meuller’s investigation. So, they subpoenaed him to give an oral report with nothing redacted and they still didn’t believe him. If Jesus Christ was the special investigator, instead of Meuller, these brain dead Democrats wouldn’t believe Him either. The Democrats are their worst enemy and not one of them can figure it out. I’d like to see them have their own country, in Antarctica, but the penguins don’t deserve such pathetic neighbors, cause they didn’t do anything to harm humans. Maybe that’s why Trump was interested in purchasing Greenland, to make a new home for Democrats. He’s probably way ahead of me. Not to mention, I’m sure the penguins submitted a huge protest. James Logan Buckeye
Contorted logic and fake facts Editor:
After two mass shootings in America on Aug. 3-4, leftist “journalists” and politicians immediately blamed the “real” underlying threat of such atrocities on lack of gun control and white nationalism. They used contorted logic and fake facts. National talk show host Chris Plante opined “The most insidious power the news media has is the power to ig-
nore.” The media ignored the fact that killers targeted unarmed citizens-including in El Paso, Texas and in Dayton, Ohio. The 21-year old El Paso murderer is not a conservative or even a Trump supporter. The manifesto he posted views Hispanic immigrants as a threat to the United States because their numbers will jeopardize free universal health care, universal basic income and the environment. He stated that he would be going for a soft target. So he left home in the Dallas suburbs and drove over 600 miles to find his soft target in El Paso. Mexican nationals cross the border in droves every weekend to go shopping in El Paso. For this hate-filled monster, these shoppers would be the perfect target unarmed! In Dayton, Ohio the Elizabeth Warren supporting shooter chose a location and time (1 a.m. on a Sunday) when his targets would be especially disarmed -- as Ohio law prohibits citizens from carrying concealed while drinking. So again, the killer chose victims who were guaranteed to be disarmed. Missing from the national dialogue is how guns are saving more lives than they take. Fact, guns are used 16-100 times more often to save lives every day. But the national media only seems to want to harp on the negative uses of firearms. If the media covered negligent medical mistakes in the same way they cover guns 250,000 medical mistakes every year or 685 per day result in death. The daily medical “carnage” is the equivalent of several months of mass shootings. Americans would be scared to visit a doctor but we know that such fear is foolish because doctors are saving far more lives. But from 1989 to 2014, all mass shootings accounted for 0-13 percent of shooting deaths in America. One-third of the 33,000 gun deaths each year in the U.S. are homicides. The other two-thirds are suicides. For each mass shooting death, there are over 500 shooting suicides. That is to say nothing of the one million abortions performed each year. But leftists are not weeping and ranting and swearing about those like they are about “white nationalism.” We live in a dangerous world, where 16 pedestrians are killed by vehicles every day. Studies show that Americans are 159 times more likely to be struck and killed by a car than to be shot in a mass shooting. That glittering jewel of monumen-
tal ignorance and presidential hopeful Cory Booker (D-NJ) claimed that mass shootings are a “uniquely American problem.” This is false. The United States in not even in the top 50 countries when one compares mass shootings per capita among nations. Many Democratic presidential hopefuls are bashing firearms like AR-15s, claiming that Americans have no use for owning such weapons but several men and women have used these guns in self-defense including a Houston man who used his AK-47 to fend off five home invaders this year. And a Florida man who used his AR-15 while fighting off seven intruders last year. A petite Maryland mom who chased three burglars out of her home simply by racking a round into the chamber of her AR-15. All of these law-abiding gun owners were facing multiple attackers, which necessitated having firearms that help multiple rounds. Terrorists, be they lone wolf or organized, don’t care about our gun laws, any more than the terrorists who ignored France’s draconian gun control laws in 2015 when they slaughtered 90 people using fully automatic firearms at the Bataclan theater. If terrorists were to strike into our
13
malls and neighborhoods we should hope and pray that there will be people like the retired plumber who used his AR-15 to mortally wound a de facto terrorist in Texas two years ago. DJ Hammond Buckeye

OPINION
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 2, 2019
Letters...continued from page 13 essary I quote several findings from his March 2019 MR Executive Summary (ES) Volume 1, and statements made by Attorney General Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein. 1:The MR states the most active Russian group injecting disinformation into our election via social media venues like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter was the Internet Research Agency (IRA) in St. Petersburg. MR’s investigation resulted in the indictment of 13 Russians and three supporting companies engaged in this operation. But most importantly, it concluded; “The investigation did not identify evidence that any U.S. person conspired or colluded with the IRA.” (Ref. ES Page 4, Par. 2.) 2: Although the MR identified many contacts and associations between Russians and Trump’s team that occurred throughout the election campaign, the report also concluded: “The investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election activities.”(Ref. ES Page 5, Par. 2.) 3: After DOJ personnel reviewed the
MR, Barr sent a letter to Congress concluding, “The Special Counsel investigation did not find the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its effort to influence the 2016 presidential election.” (Ref DOJ Letter dated Mar. 24, 2019.) 4: Further, during a Rosenstein press conference in February 2018, he announced Mueller had indicted 13 IRA employees and three companies. His remarks also mentioned there was no evidence of any Trump campaign IRA involvement. In July, he announced that Mueller had indicted 12 members of Russia’s Military Intelligence Directorate and again advised there was no evidence of Trump/Russian collusion. In spite of these facts, Grenfell still opined that “given the “overwhelming evidence Mueller presented and the willingness of this administration to let foreign powers interfere in our democracy, Congress should impeach.” Just the opposite happened; the MR identified no one in the Trump campaign who conspired with the Russians. However, she was right that foreign powers should not interfere in our elections,but forgot to mention the Russian interference occurred during the Obama administration, not Trump's as he was not

yet president. She also stated, “Mueller found extensive criminal activity committed by Trump and his team resulting in 37 indictments.” That’s incorrect; she neglected to mention 29 of them were Russians who will never be prosecuted. Of the remaining eight who are Americans, five were convicted of noncollusion crimes, one (Flynn) is challenging his conviction and the other two apparently won’t face charges as the DOJ has closed out further prosecutions. It’s ironic, that after three years of investigations by the House, Senate, FBI and Mueller, not a single American has yet to be indicted for conspiring with Russia. That’s a strong indication it never happened. And lastly, she claimed, ”Trump is a danger to our democracy.” He’s definitely unconventional, but she didn’t identify the dangers. Actually, the real problem is the continuing three-year attempt to impeach or marginalize a lawfully elected president. Nyle Neumann Goodyear
Turkey time
Editor: As we speak--my recipes for my Thanksgiving dinner are on the way to the National Examiner. Some other hints I’d like to share with your readers: look into buying food handler plastic gloves through catalogs that sell cookware. They’re great for handling raw foods. As for outdoor grilling using charcoal – high humidity days can cause the charcoal to “fizzle-out.” You have to keep fanning the coals to keep it lit. Once the charcoal is lit and “fizzles out,” do not put more lighter fluid on the charcoals. There have been incidents of people being badly burned by lighter fluid bottles that have exploded. Some people need to use some common sense when cooking. They can also Google if they have a question about proper cooking techniques or about food safety. Your cookout shouldn’t turn into a 911 call. Also, I don’t recommend stuffing a raw turkey the night before – this can cause bacteria to grow. By dinner the next day, you can end up with you or your guests to come down with food poisoning! You or your guests can end up in the ER. Not to mention missing one week of work due to food poisoning. That happened to me at one job where I worked at in El Monte, California. One lady made Shake 'n Bake chicken: she cooked the chicken for
only 20 minutes. It was rubbery and had a slight after-taste. Kind of spoiled. Later on that night, I woke up with stomach cramps & nausea (to mention a few unpleasant symptoms). I ended up going to the Queen of the Valley ER in West Covina, California. I got a week off from work due to the severe diarrhea I came down with. My doctor had me on a liquid diet & antibiotics. I lost about 7 pounds. That was back in 1989. I remember the potato salad (not mine) didn’t taste right either. You will be surprised how many people when they go shopping for groceries will sometimes pick up raw foods-like chicken or beef, then drive on over to Walmart, to do some more shopping. And leave the raw meats in the trunk of the car – especially in our 108-degree weather! Then, arrive home and put it away in their freezer. I buy my meat (during hot weather) early in the morning and go home immediately and put it away in the freezer. I’ve never had problems with any incident of food poisoning in my home. I make my egg custards and pumpkin custard pies: once cooled, they go in my refrigerator. Never leave egg custards or potato salads on your counter! I’ve heard of some people who have. This can create a salmonella contamination. I heard there are classes for Adulting 101. This is to teach millennials how to cook, as well as basic social skills. We had home economics classes when I was in junior high (1968). For the girls. The boys took shop class. I found that sometimes what I cooked came out better than my teacher could make! We had to learn sewing (made a laundry bag and a blouse); learn to do comparison shopping for groceries and used math to figure out bargains. And we took typing and shorthand in high school. I liked driver’s ed a lot better. My second older brother Ralph took me to drive on the I-10 freeway in San Jose, California, I was 16 then. My Dad would take me out to drive on “non-challenging streets,” or where there is no dangerous traffic. He doesn’t know what fun is! At least I passed my driving test the first time around! My brother Ralph also showed me how to check the oil levels in my car and how to check the transmission fluid; check the air pressure in my tires and how to put in gasoline.

Making birthdays special for children in foster care WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 2, 2019
BY DAN SHUFELT Guest Writer
Arizona Helping Hands is the largest provider of basic needs to the 14,000 children in our state’s foster care system. It is truly important to give boys and girls who have been abused and neglected a sense of safety and dignity. The beds, cribs, clothing, diapers, backpacks filled with school supplies, and other items help to raise their self-esteem. We take basic needs to another level with our Birthday Dreams program. We believe that celebrating a birthday for children in foster care is a basic need. Having met so many youngsters who – just due to their unique circumstances – have never celebrated their birthday, we understand the importance of that special day. We receive requests from foster families and from the Department of Child Safety caseworkers on a daily basis. One request might state that little Joey is turning 4 and likes trains. Another might tell us that Paige’s 17th birthday is coming up and she likes from growing up in a family with three older brothers. I got my brother Alex's old bike when I was 7. My oldest brother Bill taught me how to swim and go horseback riding. We all used to go on Saturdays to the Red Star Theater in La Puente, California to go see sci-fi or scary movies. Those were the days. Laura Rivas, Buckeye
How to get a letter published 250 N. Litchfield Road, Ste. 130, Goodyear, AZ 85340 E-mail: editor@westvalleyview.com The West Valley View welcomes letters that express readers’ opinion on current topics. Letters must include the writer’s full name, address (including city) and telephone number. The West Valley View will print the writer’s name and city of residence only. Letters without the requisite identifying information will not be published. Letters are published in the order received, and they are subject to editing. The West Valley View will not publish consumer complaints, form letters, clippings from other publications or poetry. Letters’ authors, not the View, are responsible for the “facts” presented in letters.
soccer and Harry Potter. Our objective is to let Joey, Paige and thousands of children know that we care. Our army of volunteers will “shop” through our stock of donated and purchased items to find the perfect gift to celebrate them. After finding the Thomas the train set, volunteer Anne will gift-wrap it with care and place it, along with a few other items and a book, into a white shopping bag that has been artistically decorated to say “Happy Birthday Joey!” Imagine Joey’s reaction to receiving a package made just for him. For some of the youngsters, the beautifully decorated bag is as important as what is inside. Somebody spent their time creating a magical message just for him. Teenagers in foster care are too often the forgotten ones. Many have been written off by our society. Hard to place in foster homes, burdened with baggage from their life experiences, maybe living in a group home with 5-10 other children, their birthdays go unacknowledged.
We prepare birthday packages for every child in the foster care system, regardless of age. For Paige, her package includes a duffel bag – to store her belongings and replace the black trash bag in which she has carried her life possessions from home to home. It also has a soccer ball and gift cards to let her decide what her needs and wants are. We might throw in some makeup, and we add a book (Harry Potter in her case) to every package that we assemble. I have met way too many children who have never celebrated a birthday. One young lady shared that the first time her birthday was acknowledged as special was the day she turned 16 and her caseworker and social worker pitched in a few dollars to buy her a birthday cake. We can, and must, do better – and that’s why our Birthday Dream program exists. This program is supported by our caring community. Companies have sponsored toy and gift card collections. Caring individuals ask their friends to donate items for kids, instead of gifting
them yet another bottle of wine. Others have assembled Birthdays in a Bag kits that include cake mixes, frosting, candles and more to give a family the party to go along with the gift package. Volunteers have spent loving hours decorating bags and wrapping presents. It is wonderful to have so many coming together to share love with kids who don’t smile and laugh enough. We know that every child should experience the joy of their special day, and our program makes the day special for every child in foster care! Arizona Helping Hands will make Birthday Dreams come true for 3,400plus children in 2019. To learn how you can help contact dreamcatcher@ azhelpinghands.org.

Business Briefcase
BY TOM SCANLON
West Valley View Associate Editor
As Antonio Brown likes to say, “Business is boomin'!” OK, so maybe the NFL’s uber-diva wide receiver isn’t the best person to quote, but West Valley business big and small is booming, nonetheless. Two decades back, the population of sleepy little Goodyear was 18,000 people; today, nearly five times that live in Goodyear. And, with businesses like UPS bringing hundreds of jobs to the West Valley, where will they all live? “There’s construction on every block,” Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord has said. One of the biggest West Valley developers is Newland, which boasts of being “the largest private developer of mixed-use communities in the United States.” Newland manages the 20,000acre Estrella master-planned community as well as Lucero in Goodyear. At 9:30 a.m. on Oct. 10, Estrella hosts a “Real Estate Professionals Networking Group.” Join local real estate professionals at the Sales Conference Room in CantaMia, 17700 W Star Point Drive, Goodyear. To register or for more information, contact Cindy Oliver at coliver@newlandco.com. Estrella has a busy month planned, with a farmer’s market from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 19. Curious to see what the Estrella homes are like? From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 19-20, Estrella has one of its biggest events: “The Fall Tour of Homes returns to Estrella this October with its twoday community-wide open house," says Estrella's website. "Residents and guests alike are invited to explore our amenity-rich, lively community. This year’s event will offer attendees the opportunity to view more than 80 properties including model homes, quick move-in homes, inventory homes, custom home sites, and resale homes.”
How big? Floor plans range from 1,360 to more than 3,300 square feet. How much? Homes “begin in the low $200s.” The Estrella New Home Information Center is located inside Casa Lucero at 8175 South Hillside Drive, Goodyear. For more information, see estrella.com. Real estate folks will tell you that a big part of the reason people are headed this way is the city’s location, family-friendly vibe and facilities. That gets another boost, soon: “Construction is about to begin on what is already being called 'the jewel of Goodyear.’ The city will Artist’s rendering of the Goodyear Recreation Campus.

The park will be at Estrella Parkway and Harrison Street. “The Goodyear Recreation Campus will be a destination year-round for all ages and abilities,” said Lord. “It’s designed to be a gathering space to spark activity and community engagement for years to come.” And, when business is booming, people have to eat, right?

New Iora Health practice offers older adults on Medicare patient-centric care BY ANDREA ESTRADA
West Valley View Staff Writer
In 2014, Iora Health partnered with Humana to open its first practice in Arizona. With 15 Iora primary care practices in the East and West Valleys, Arizona’s latest practice opened in Avondale, at 1719 N. Dysart Road. On Sept. 25, members of the community got a first look at the facility during a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The new location accepts all Humana Medicare Advantage HMO and PPO plans offered in Arizona, as well as Medicare. It provides patients with a team that respects and listens to them, said Tracy Masson, Iora Health vice president of Operations in Arizona. “We really meet the patient where they are and spend a lot of time getting to know them. We don’t rush them through their appointments. We work with them to understand what their values are for their care,” Masson said. Medicare Advantage members 65 and older work with physicians, nurse practitioners, health coaches, behavioral health specialists and other pro-
fessionals to determine health goals and address questions and concerns. Masson added the Valley is underserved when it comes to relationship-based care and services. “We have a very strong partnership with Humana, and we work together to identify where there might be a need for our services. The southwest valley has been an area that we’ve wanted to go into for quite a while now.” Mark Iorio, Central West Region Medicare President for Humana, believes the patient experience Humana Medicare Advantage members have access to gives his team an edge on competing players in the market. “Working with providers that understand our benefits and can help our members move seamlessly through the healthcare system instead of getting all bottled up like many of us do...We think it’s a great differentiator,” Iorio said. “The care just seems to be so much more seamless and so much more friendly to our members. We’re just super excited about this new Avondale clinic.” West Valley View photos by Andrea Estrada.

Tariff-friendly, Class A industrial facility breaks ground in Goodyear BY ANDREA ESTRADA
West Valley View Staff Writer
A cutting-edge warehouse and distribution center is coming to Goodyear. When Baker Development Corporation (BDC) and Foundation Capital Partners (FCP) formed a joint venture to develop a Class A industrial facility, Goodyear emerged as a viable location for the project. Located on the southeast and southwest corners of 143rd Avenue at Van Buren Street, the two-building, 24-acre project known as “VB/143” broke ground in a foreign trade zone magnet site. BDC Principal Daniel J. Slack said this will reduce property taxes and mitigate the impact of tariffs on future tenants. “Whether they import or export, it mitigates the tariffs that they pay in a normal course of business. Based on the industry, based on the dollar-volume realm and based on in-bound and out-bound activity of importing and exporting, they will reduce their import/export tax pretty dramatically,” Slack said. In a statement, JLL Managing Director Anthony Lydon, one of the project’s

leasing brokers, said, “In this environment, VB/143 provides a modern, interstate-oriented supply chain solution with the protection of a Foreign Trade Zone, which can be a critical benefit for operations that are vulnerable to economic events such as rising regulations or tariffs.” The facility’s foreign trade zone status also means less paperwork, Slac-

said. “The red tape, so to speak, for a tenant to qualify...as an accredited foreign trade zone tenant is a shorter time period and much less arduous process. They have to do less work,” he said. And Goodyear’s proximity to distribution hubs like California, also make is a plus, Slack added. Headed to Los Angeles, “a trucker can still make a roundtrip in a day from
the West Valley. That’s what makes it even more strategically advantageous, at least in our minds, than say the East Valley and the fact that you could be in additional hours worth of traffic going each direction,” he explained. There will be 63 loading docks at the facility, which includes a 213,000-square-foot cross-dock building and a 112,000-square-foot rear-loading building. It features modern industrial amenities like secured concrete truck courts, insulated dock doors and energy-efficient clerestory windows. Slack said they also worked on making the buildings’ exteriors as architecturally pleasing as possible. “It is a warehouse building at the end of the day, but if you really look at the buildings along Van Buren on 143rd, we’ve paid a lot of attention as to what the buildings look like. They have a very high-touch in quality to them.” Slack added, “We’re excited to be starting in Goodyear. We think we’ve assembled a great team and we’re looking for other opportunities in the marketplace as we speak.”

The New $1 Cream for All Your Neuropathy Discomfort PAID ADVERTISEMENT
A cream, not a pill, may be the most effective solution yet for neuropathy sufferers; increases sensation in the legs and feet, relieving burning, tingling, and numbness By Dr. Henry Esber, Ph.D. BOSTON − An exciting clinical use survey study shows that a new cream can relieve leg and foot discomfort in just 15 minutes of applying.
“Diabasens is different. Since the most commonly reported symptoms...burning, tingling and numb legs and feet...are caused by lack of sensation of the nerves, we’ve designed the formula increase their sensitivity.
And according to the study participants, burning, tingling, and numbness were the most common symptoms to be relieved.
And since these nerves are located right below the skin, we’ve chosen to formulate it as a cream. This allows for the ingredients to get to the site faster and without any serious side effects” he adds.
The cream, called Diabasens, recently developed by scientists in San Diego and became an instant hit among those suffering with neuropathy.
Study Finds Restoring Sensation the Key To Effective, Long Lasting Relief
It’s patent pending formula works within minutes of contacting the skin, initiating two phenomena’s in the body.
With the conclusion of the human clinical use survey trial, the makers of Diabasens are offering it nationwide. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.
The first phenomenon is known as vasodilation which triggers arteries to expand, improving circulation in the extremities. The second is called TRPA1 activation and this is what really has people excited.
Research Shows Correlation Between Nerve Damage and Sensation Published research shows that neuropathy symptoms arise when the nerves in your legs and feet break down and blood flow is lost to the areas which surround them. As the nerves begin to die, sensation is lost. This lack of sensation is a major cause of burning, tingling, and numbness. Remarkably, Diabasens contains one of the few known substances to activate TRPA1, a special sensory pathway right below the skins surface which controls the sensitivity of nerves. It’s these nerves that allow you to feel hot, cold, and touch. And although this pathway has been known about for years, neither a drug or a pill has been able to target it successfully. That’s why Diabasens is so impressive. “It all comes down to sensation. When sensation is lost the foot feels constantly asleep. It may also burn and tingle. When sensation is increased, these nagging symptoms often go away”, explains Dr. Henry Esber, one of the scientists behind Diabasens. “That’s why Diabasens performed so well in our clinical use survey study. It increases sensation and blood flow wherever it’s applied. It’s impressive to say the least”
A Brilliant Technology Most Failed to Consider Until now, many pharma companies have failed to develop a means of TRPA1 activation to manage neuropathy. Diabasens is one of the first to take full advantage of this amazing discovery. “Today’s treatment methods have focused on minimizing discomfort instead of attacking its underlining cause. That’s why millions of adults are still in excruciating discomfort every single day and are always battling effects” explains Esber
Men and women from all over the country are eager to get their hands on the new cream and according to the results study participants reported, they should be. In the trial above, participants taking Diabasens as needed experienced relief in just 15 minutes after applying! Burning, tingling and numbness were the most commonly reported symptoms to improve. Even more impressive, when asked if this was the best product they used for their legs and feet, 90% gave a resounding “Yes” with all participants concluding they would absolutely recommend it to someone else.
A breakthrough in neuropathy management and supportive care, Diabasens is shown to provide relief from: • Discomfort • Numbness • Tingling • Swelling • Balance Targets Nerves Right Below the Skins Surface Diabasens is a topical cream that is to be applied directly the legs and feet. It does not require a prescription. The active ingredient is a compound known as cinnamaldehyde. Studies show that neuropathy and discomfort caused when peripheral nerves breakdown and blood is unable to circulate into your legs and feet. As these nerves deteriorate, sensation is lost. This is why you may not feel hot or cold and your legs and feet may burn, tingle and go numb.
A NEW WEAPON FOR FIGHTING NEUROPATHY DISCOMFORT: Diabasens increases sensation and blood flow wherever its applied. It’s now being used to relieve burning, tingling, numbness among other discomforts. Worse, without proper blood flow, tissues and cells in these areas begin to die, causing pain that seems to never go away. The cinnamaldehyde in Diabasens is one of the very few compounds in that can activate TRPA1, a special sensory pathway that runs through your entire body. According to published research, activating this pathway increases the sensitivity of nerves, relieving feelings of tingling and numbness in your legs and feet. Supporting ingredients boost blood flow, support cellular health and stimulate the nerves for increased sensation.
Amazing Relief Exactly Where You Need It With daily use, Diabasens users report remarkable improvements in their quality of life without of the serious side effects or interactions associated with prescription drugs. Readers can now enjoy an entirely new level of comfort that’s both safe and affordable. Users have found is also extremely effective, especially if nothing else has worked with 90% ravings it’s the best leg and foot product they’ve ever tried.

Let us put peas of mind in our garden and squash gossip, every thyme CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph West Valley View Columnist
Sometimes we get so enmeshed in focusing on solving gigantic issues that we forget the simplicity of living day to day effectively and fruitfully. For example, how is it that we put a man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage? That guy who invented a space suit probably has back problems because of dragging heavy luggage to his flight to Houston. Steve Hope, a friend of mine in New Zealand, recently sent me an email that suggests that our life is like a garden. The Bible says that. “The Lord will
guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will become like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail” (Isaiah 58:11). So, our life is like a garden we can plant anywhere or any time of the year. Just think of it, if we can use some common sense in daily life, we can have the uncommon sense and strength to solve those big problems in life. When you have a strong base to operate from personally, it’s easier to be more efficient and effective in all aspects of life. Let’s consider the following. If we can be a well-watered garden, what can we plant in our personal garden? Firstly, plant three rows of “peas” … peace of mind, peace of heart and peace of soul. Faith is the ability not to panic. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not get bent out of shape.

Spending today, complaining about yesterday, won’t make tomorrow any better. Remember, peace of mind, heart and soul, come from peace with God. When you have peace with God, then you can have the peace of God. Here’s a good thought on peace of soul by director Baz Luhrmann. “Don’t waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind. The race is long and, in the end, it’s only with yourself. Remember compliments you receive and forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.” My answer to how is right thinking and God’s grace at work in us! Now that we have planted our three rows of “peas” — peace of mind, peace of heart and peace of soul — let’s explore what else we can plant. Remember, our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. After the peas comes “squash” … squash gossip, squash indifference, squash grumbling and squash selfishness. Concerning gossip, remember that silence is often misinterpreted but never misquoted. Concerning indifference, remember indifference is checking out. Passion is checking in. Don’t let indifference squash your passion. Concerning grumbling, remember grumbling is verbal leaking to the outside things that are on our inside. Grumbling creates a verbal pollution bigger than the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Squash it, put a cap on it, and it stops polluting. Finally, squash selfishness. Maturity is discovering that the world doesn’t revolve around us. Be happy. Forced joy is better than genuine depression. Next are four rows of “lettuce” … let us be faithful, let us be kind, let us be patient, and let us really love one another. Making commitments generates hope but keeping commitments gener-
ates trust. Trust is like a rope that connects one person to another. Then let us plant kindness. Since kind people are your kind of people, be kind too. Patience is an incredible thing to plant. When you get tangled up in your problems, be patient and still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot. Don’t forget to plant love right where you live with your neighbors, friends, family, and community. Those “in need” need a friend who also is a friend indeed. To the world, you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world. A good place to find a helping hand is at the end of your arm. Lastly, let’s plant three rows of “thyme” … time for God, time for prayer and time for the people that really matter in your life. Don’t let bad experiences in life stop you from planting time. Time in an investment. Often, time is the currency of a great relationship. Spending time with God in the Scriptures and in prayer is for all ages. Young people tend not to read the Bible very much. Older people tend to read the Bible like crazy. It’s like older people are cramming for their finals. Unfortunately, the same is true of prayer. For a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home every day. The most important things in your house are the people in that house, or who were in that house. Some people talk to you in their free time and some free their time to talk to you. Learn the difference. Turn up for those in the second category. The world is filled with nice people. If you can’t find one, be one. Be somebody who make everyone feel like somebody. Now, that’s what I call a garden. Don’t just go for it, sow for it, but you may have to grow for it.

Registration is underway for the sixth annual Veterans Day Ceremony and Fun Run. The event will be held Nov. 11 at Estrella Mountain Community College (EMCC), 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale. The event, which is co-sponsored by the City of Avondale, kicks off at 8:30 a.m. with a 5K run, complete with boot camp-like obstacles such as tire flipping and ammo can lifts. “We wanted to set our 5K apart from others,” said Robert Dorsett, EMCC’s student services manager of Veterans Services. “People really like it. Usually, about 80% take part in the obstacles.” Following the run is a “Warrior’s Breakfast” at 9 a.m., cooked by EMCC’s own culinary students. The ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. Entertainment includes a Kid Zone
where children 3 to 10 can bowl, finger paint, complete an obstacle course, and get their faces painted. The Trio Salado Jazz Quartet featuring Kurt Hauser, EMCC Music Adjunct Faculty, will also perform prior to the ceremony. Cost: Registration is free for military members and veterans ( $11.11 fee to receive a T-shirt and swag bag.) The cost is $15 for early bird registration through Oct. 11, $30 for general registration Oct. 12-Nov. 10 or $35 on the day of the event. Proceeds benefit EMCC’s Veterans Increasing Persistence Program (VIPP). The program, which launched in 2017, is designed to assist veterans in financial situations that may prevent them from going to school or completing a degree. To register for the fun run and breakfast or for more information, visit estrellamountain.edu/vetfunrun.

Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

OBITUARIES Michael Edwin McCarthy Colonel Michael Edwin McCarthy, USAF, Retired of Litchfield Park, AZ died September 8, 2019 at the age of 78 years. Michael was born in Auburn, New York and enlisted in the Air Force in 1962 after graduating from the University of Miami. He completed his undergraduate pilot training in Laredo, TX and was then assigned as an F4 Phantom pilot to the 8th Tactical Fighter Wing at Ubon Royal Thai Air Base during the Vietnam War. He flew 124 missions against North Vietnam and Laos from 1967 to 1968, earning him the Distinguished Flying Cross award. After returning from Vietnam, he met his wife of 48 years, Linda.

He retired in 1990. Following his retirement, he worked for Lockheed Martin and also taught several classes at Arizona State University. He is a published author; his book Phantom Reflections: The Education of an American Fighter Pilot in Vietnam came out in 2007. Michael enjoyed traveling to New England with his wife several times a year, visiting his grandkids in California and never passed up a cold martini and a chance to watch his favorite movie "Casablanca."
