Conservancy vows to maintain the White Tanks By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
The White Tank Mountains have a special place in the heart of Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck. “I have many memories of my parents, brothers and neighbors hiking and enjoying these beautiful mountains,” Meck said. “As the metro area grew, more and more people learned about the White Tanks, but not everyone appreciated the natural and iconic resource of this area.” Meck was one of the cofounders and vice chairman of the White Tank Mountains Conservancy, which was introduced in October 2014, with the help of the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy. The White Tank Mountains Conservancy vows to protect the mountains by seeking pragmatic solutions that enhance the West Valley’s economy, while ensuring the sustainability of the natural and cultural resources. Through partnerships and collaborations, the conservancy will ensure the mountains thrive despite growth and remain a sanctuary that retains the enduring character and beauty of the Sonoran Desert. “It’s a delicate balance to preserve the area while attracting more visitors to the White Tanks,” Meck said. To do this, there are several goals: • Develop a regional partnership for planning

purposes. Connecting the White Tanks to the regional trail network will provide recreational activities for residents, while preserving the wildlife, cultural resources and landscape. To date, private companies and neighboring cities have committed to be a partner. This includes Surprise, Peoria, Goodyear, Youngtown and Buckeye, all of which donated $25,000. The private companies who gave $50,000 each are
APS, DMB, DR Horton and Epcor Water. The conservancy hopes to raise $500,000 more to meet the $1 million goal. APS and the Arizona Community Foundation gave the organization additional monies as part of a $137,000 grant to Arizona nonprofits. • Create education and stewardship.

Maracay unveils energy-efficient homes in Goodyear By Connor Dziawura
A new community is coming to Goodyear and its developer has big goals in mind. The Phoenix- and Tucson-based Maracay Homes, one of TRI Pointe Group’s six U.S. brands, is bringing the Cottages at Rio Paseo, an all-new neighborhood with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification. The first families are projected to move in to the energy-efficient homes come January. Although the residence is finally approaching with the community having
hosted its grand opening ceremony on October 7, development on the new 93-home neighborhood was started by another developer, Engle Homes, prior to the recession. It sat vacant for years – until now. Maracay Homes stepped in to revive the community, bringing along new floor plans and other improvements and features. “Maracay has made significant investments and efforts to freshen up and to revitalize this community,” said Elise Goodell, Maracay Homes’ marketing manager.
“We didn’t do the same plans as the previous builder,” added Linda Clements, Maracay Homes’ sales manager. “We were able to add a lot more value, energy efficiency (and) space layout of the floor plans to really maximize the footprints of the home.” Arguably one of Maracay’s biggest selling points is the goal of receiving LEED certification. To achieve this esteemed designation, the community

than they found it will enhance environmental and recreational values. This will instill a sense of purpose to volunteer to maintain the natural beauty of the mountains. • Establish public policy. Creating public policies to balance growth, while preserving and protecting the natural and cultural resources is crucial. Les Meyers of Goodyear worked with The White Tank Mountains Conservancy as an Encore.org and Experience Matters fellow to facilitate the creation of the organization. “I was lucky enough to get tapped to help,” said Meyers, who serves as secretary on the conservancy’s board. “Experience Matters matches senior talent with not-for-profits.” Besides Meyers and Meck, the board consists of chairman Todd Hornback of DMB, Verrado’s developer; treasurer Ian Dowdy, director Sun Corridor Legacy Program, Sonoran Institute; and members at large Bob Wisener of the city of Buckeye; RJ Cardin, the Maricopa County Parks and Recreation director; Stacie Beute, program coordinator for Central Arizona Conservation Alliance; and

Robert Bement, chief nuclear officer of Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station – Arizona Public Service Co. “The city of Buckeye is slated for tremendous growth,” Meyers said. “The whole idea is to work with the city planning departments and various developers, so we, together, can maintain the integrity of that mountain.” Meyers added it’s important for visitors to access the area for recreational purposes, and to allow the animals to travel in and out. “We work very hard to reach out to the communities and coordinate with them to improve access to the mountains from a recreational standpoint,” Meyers said. “We want to work together, too, so that everybody understands the mission and what they’re planning.” The White Tank Mountains Conservancy is looking for volunteers to show folks why the mountains are important. The conservancy provides leadership and volunteers who can provide necessary labor to maintain and enhance the recreational and environmental values. For information, visit wtmconservancy.org/getinvolved/. The organization recently hit the 100-steward mark, according to Hornback, the executive director of
community life at DMB’s Verrado. “They’re engaged and trained in conservation,” Hornback said. “They’re doing education and outreach for us. We’ve been very pleased with the response. A lot of people care about the mountain. This gives them the opportunity to do something about it.” Recreation and the economy go hand in hand. According to the Outdoor Industry Association, Arizona’s outdoor recreation programs provided 201,000 direct jobs, and $5.7 billion in wages and salaries. Consumers spend more than $21.2 billion, while the state and local tax revenues equaled $1.4 billion. One of the conservancy’s missions is to connect Skyline and White Tank Mountain regional parks around Verrado, so visitors can continue to walk from one end to the other, Meyers said. The organization is planning events to promote the park as well. “Another mission we have is to make that mountain a known icon of the West Valley,” he said. “It’s a gem.” As the developer of Verrado, DMB has a penchant for conservation and land preservation, according to Hornback, executive director of community life at DMB.

“That started probably 20 or 30 years ago, with the onset of the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy,” he said. “Many DMB leaders were involved in the McDowell Sonoran Preserve. When we came out to Verrado, we knew right away that there was a hidden gem in the White Tank Mountains, which is why we wanted to create Verrado. “We knew the White Tanks were an important asset for our development. You can grow your community, but you can do it with compassion and sensitivity for the land, which was there long before any of us.” Meck called the White Tank Mountains one of the most beautiful places in Arizona. He encouraged the public to help preserve it. “Come and see for yourself the beauty of the White Tanks and preserve it for future generations,” he said. “That alone should energize you to volunteer in one of the many stewardship programs. There are many opportunities to fit your skills – from being a nature guide, assisting with park maintenance, helping at special events or even help with research by doing hands-on field work. There really is something for everyone.”

Verrado assistant football coach resigns By Casey Pritchard
An assistant football coach at Verrado resigned from his position after an altercation between him and a former player. The coach is Jeff Jenkins, who was the offensive coordinator. The player, who has yet to be identified, was frustrated because he couldn’t travel with the team to an away game due to the five-game transfer rule. He was collecting his football belongings and being escorted off campus when the incident occurred, according to a source. “There was a conflict between the coach and a player, and the coach has since resigned from his position as coach,” Agua Fria Union High School District Superintendent Dennis Runyan said. “He was also a paraprofessional at the school and he resigned from both roles.” There was a personnel investigation in place following the altercation, Runyan said. “The employee had been assigned home during the investigation. He was
not involved in coaching during that time period,” Runyan said. “Once he resigned, that was of his determination to resign from his position. He made that decision.” Jenkins’ son, Ja’Tai, is the star running back for the Vipers. Through the team’s first eight games, Ja’Tai had 1,399 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns. Although Jenkins resigned from the team, he’s still eligible to be on campus for Verrado’s football games, Runyan said. “There is no additional extension or concern from that point of view,” Runyan said. Runyan couldn’t share any specifics about the investigation because it was a personnel matter. He did say it is closed, and the school and team have moved forward. “I think anytime there is a situation, we, as a district, want to investigate and look at opportunities to work with students and our staff in the future for more successful outcomes,” Runyan said.

Buckeye native serves in Navy’s ‘silent service’
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 25, 2017
By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Brian T. Glunt, Navy Office of Community Outreach A 2016 Youngker High School graduate is serving in the U.S. Navy’s silent service submarine community on the island of Guam as part of the staff of Commander, Submarine Squadron 15. Seaman Apprentice Daniel Ewald is an electronics technician (navigation) serving aboard U.S. Naval Base Guam, supporting Virginia and Los Angeles class fast-attack submarines. As a Navy electronics technician (navigation), Ewald is responsible for the operation and control of electronic navigational systems aboard submarines. “My brother is serving in the Navy,” Ewald said. “I first wanted to go to college, but my brother influenced me to join because of the educational benefits I could receive while serving in the Navy.” The Los Angeles-class measures 360 feet long and weighs approximately 6,900 tons while the Virginia-class measures 377 feet long and weighs approximately 7,800 tons. These nuclear-powered propulsion systems help push the submarines through the water at nearly 30 mph. Attack submarines are designed to hunt down and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships; strike targets ashore with cruise missiles; carry and deliver Navy SEALs; carry out intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance missions; and engage in mine warfare. Their primary tactical advantage is stealth, operating undetected under the sea for long periods of time. “Seaman Ewald, along with the rest of my staff, does an outstanding job ensuring our homeported units and all submarines operating forward in the 7th Fleet area of responsibility are prepared to answer the nation’s call whenever necessary,” said Capt. David Schappert, commander, Submarine Squadron 15. “We are first responders out here at the tip of the spear; and our Sailors are the best in the fleet.” According to Navy officials, submariners are some of the most highly trained and skilled people in the Navy. The training is highly technical, and each crew must be able to operate,

maintain and repair every system or piece of equipment on board. Regardless of their specialty, everyone also has to learn how everything on the sub works and how to respond in emergencies to become “qualified in submarines” and earn the right to wear the coveted gold or silver dolphins on their uniform. “My biggest accomplishment, being so new to the Navy, is that I successfully completed boot camp and my training school,” Ewald said. “It’s tough and not many people can say they’ve been through all of that.” This is especially true for sailors assigned to Submarine Squadron 15 because Guam sailors are located at the nation’s most strategically important forward-deployed submarine base. The missions they conduct are at the tip of the spear of forward readiness. These sailors are the forward-deployed, first line of defense in the Pacific. Although it is difficult for most people to imagine living on a submarine, challenging submarine living conditions build strong fellowship among the crew. The crews are highly motivated, and quickly adapt to changing conditions. It is a busy life of specialized work, watches and drills. “The Navy has taught me to be more understanding of people,” Ewald added. “Now, I’m very self-sufficient and physically in shape because of the Navy. I wasn’t like this before I joined.”

Buckeye teacher sentenced to lifetime probation By Autumn Jarrett
Maricopa Superior Court Judge Warren J. Granville sentenced a Buckeye man October 19 to lifetime probation for a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old Swedish foreign exchange student. Joshua Schroder, 37, must also register as a sex offender and abstain from contacting the victim. Goodyear police arrested Schroder on February 13 after the victim’s host family alerted them about inappropriate text messages. He was charged with four counts of sexual conduct of a
minor and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a child, according to Maricopa County court documents. Schroder pleaded not guilty to these charges, but he accepted a plea deal on September 12, when four of the six charges were dismissed. Schroder has no prior criminal history. “There are no justifications for my actions,” Schroder said during the sentencing. “I voluntarily surrendered my teaching license to the state, began counseling and gave my life back to God.” Schroder was a 10-year Rainbow
Valley Elementary School teacher and he coordinated the foreign exchange program for Liberty Elementary School District. His attorney, Adnan Horan, said Schroder’s four-month relationship was consensual. He argued for 10 years of supervised probation and no jail time, acknowledging that Schroder took full responsibility. Maricopa County Deputy Attorney Lacey Gray asked Granville to sentence Schroder to lifetime probation and to register as a sex offender. She also requested that the he not have contact
with the victim. “It might be argued that this was a lapse in judgment or that this was a mistake, but as you can see this is the furthest thing from a lapse in judgment,” Gray said. “This was something that was planned and it was something that happened again and again.” Granville explained Schroder broke the trust as an educator. “Every parent who wants to put their kid in a program like this is trusting that their kid is going to be OK and it was a breach of that trust,” Granville said.

Buckeye rec manager following in mom’s footsteps
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 25, 2017
By Derek Hall
For Buckeye Recreation Manager Miranda Gomez, working in the field is a family affair. Her mother is the retired recreation supervisor for the city of Peoria, so the 33-year-old Gomez took full advantage of the programs as a child. “I did everything that the city of Peoria offered because my mom was there,” Gomez said. When she was too old to participate in youth activities, Gomez said she began volunteering and accepted her first paying job at the age of 15, working as a part-time recreation aide. “I was kind of the person that if anything came up, whether it was working the terrible hours on Saturday or whatever, I was there,” Gomez said. She is passionate about her job with the city of Buckeye, and for that she was named the Arizona Parks and Recreation Association’s Young Professional of the Year Award for 2017. The award recognizes the outstanding
achievements and accomplishments of leaders in the parks and recreation field who are 35 years old or younger, according to the APRA’s website. Growing up in the field and starting at such a young age has given Gomez a unique perspective. Her colleagues said she is driven by a passion for the community and a desire to give back. Buckeye Community Services Director Cheryl Sedig said Gomez is always looking for ways to do more for Buckeye residents. “She has a very good handle on the community and what they’re asking for, and she wants to make it happen,” Sedig said. “She wants to make sure that, if there are needs in the community, we’re going to find ways to meet those needs.” According to Sedig, Gomez was instrumental in the city’s efforts to get residents healthier and fit as part of the Let’s Move Initiative. Let’s Move was enacted in 2010 by Michelle Obama to combat childhood obesity and get American communities to be more active. As part of that initiative, Gomez led a collaborative effort in 2014 to create and organize the Buckeye Marathon and worked to get it certified as a qualifier for the Boston Marathon. Since then, the event has raised more than $50,000 for scholarships that make it easier for more residents to get involved in recreation programs.

Buckeye Conservation and Project Manager Robert Wisener has worked with Gomez for more than nine years and witnessed the hard work and long hours that were put in to make the marathon a reality. “Miranda dreams big,” Wisener said. “She always looks at how she can make something better, how she can improve it and elevate it so that it is something that the city can be proud of.” Gomez said planning events like the Buckeye Marathon can be stressful and involve long hours, but seeing the final product and the difference it makes in the lives of community members is what motivates her. “Those types of things are Gomez said working as Buckeye’s recreation so rewarding once you get Miranda manager is magical.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 25, 2017
OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS
KIRK’S OPINION — The Toledo Blade
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Football fans can protest, too
Prescription drug advertising
Editor: I just read Mr. Callahan’s letter supporting NFL players’ protest. In my view he couldn’t be more wrong. Let me state upfront that the players have a right to do whatever they want during the anthem. However, the fans have every right to criticize them, protest their actions and, most important of all, withhold monetary support, which owners and players fear the most when it comes to the bottom line. Fans who fork over big money for tickets are not interested in your political opinion on our dime. As most regular people understand, expressing political viewpoints while at work can get you fired. It should be no different for players whose salary is paid by the general public. You want to make a point about police brutality, racism or whatever grievance you have? There are ample forums available to express your views while you are not at work. It also amazes me that the explanation for taking a knee has nothing to do with the flag. If that is so, why do you insult our war dead, because that is exactly what you are doing when you take a knee. I happen to believe the reason the players do this is simple. They have access to a free camera and microphone, they have a captive audience, and they do not have to engage in an intelligent conversation to explain their point. Frankly, truth be told, a large percentage of players can’t write a complete sentence. By the way, it’s not derogatory if it’s true. I would like to remind Mr. Callahan that the majority of football fans were disgusted with the players’ anthem antics long before our president weighed in with his opinion. Supporting the player protest really supports ignorance, because as you say, Mr. Callahan, it has nothing to do with our flag! Donald Baranowski Goodyear
Editor: There was a time when prescription drugs were not allowed to be advertised directly to the public. Congress changed all that due to effective lobbying by the pharmaceutical industry. I think that decision was a big mistake, and I will tell you why. Only a really naïve person would believe that the pharmaceutical industry cares more about you than about their bottom line. As long as my physician knows about the drugs that are available to me, I do not think I necessarily need to get involved with that information. My doctor knows what pharmaceuticals are best for me. If I were to insist that my doctor prescribe something, and he did so, just to satisfy me, I might be worse off. My primary care physician told me that in the aggregate, pharmaceutical companies spend more on advertising to the public than they do on developing new products. Think about that statement. It suggests that money which could be spent on developing cures, is being spent on advertising. That is a dereliction of duty by the pharmaceutical companies and jeopardizes lives. The amount of money spent on advertising directly to the public by pharmaceutical companies is in the billions of dollars every year. That’s billion with a B. I am certain that we are all very sick of hearing commercials over and over again that end with, “Ask your doctor if xyz drug is right for you.” Please do not be caught off guard. Trust your doctor over the bottom line interests of the pharmaceutical manufacturers. Roy Azzarello Goodyear
On your knees Editor: It is wonderful to see so many super-wealthy, hard-working young men getting down on their knees and praising Jesus Christ for all the talents they
have been given. It’s good to know that these role models love God, family and country. It’s great to know that they recognize how good our country has been to them. As these talented, wealthy young men kneel in appreciation and prayer, the rest of us citizens will continue to stand with our hands over our hearts, honoring our God, our family, our country and flag for being so great. You NFL players continue to get down on your knees and praise our lord, our family and our beautiful country. God bless you. God bless Pat Tillman. God bless the U.S. military. E.J. Conway Goodyear

Correction In our October 18 issue, we ran a story on page 29 with the headline “Tolleson Union, Sprint providing technology to undeserved families.” The word “undeserved” was a typo and should have read “underserved.” We regret the error and have reprinted the story with the correct headline in this issue, on page 27.
tigating the loathsome Harvey Weinstein for acting in the same reprehensible manner. In addition to his sexual predilections in this country, over 20 alleged rapes were swept under the carpet when Bill Clinton was “up” at Oxford. If the same moral standards were applied to Weinstein, he could more than qualify as the next Democratic presidential candidate. No wonder HRC and Obama took so long to utter their “tut, tuts” and dispose of “Harv’s” political contributions. As always, with respect of course. DJ Hammond Buckeye

If you’re going to insult me, you’ll have to do better than this
By David Leibowitz This week’s missive originates with a reader. Sadly, the reader did not sign his or her email in response to last week’s column, which addressed Arizona Cardinals’ newly acquired running back Adrian Peterson and his past as a child abuser. Quoted absolutely verbatim, he wrote: “Great of you to remind us of A.P.’s past, but i think he was a strong acquistion for the Cardinals. Maybe you should write about your liberal buddy Mr. Weinstein? Any abuse there? Or does your religion say not to attack each other? You are as bad as the “spokesperson for women’s rights” Hillary Clinton. Bill’s wife, Harvey’s longtime friend. Are you writing about her? # hypocrits Thanks a ton for writing in.

Business Briefcase
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 25, 2017
By Connor Dziawura
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase! Well, it’s finally here… the last Business Briefcase before Halloween. You may ask, “What does this have to do with business?” Well, this is something I find noteworthy, as I spent many a Business Briefcase teasing up to this spooky holiday with themed events through September and early October. If you’re interested in participating in or attending one of these great community events, like the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce’s A Boo!tiful Night at the Chamber, or Buckeye’s 77th annual Halloween Carnival, refer to previous editions of this section for all the great details. As far as this edition, however, I have quite the rundown for you this week. Unfortunately, a beloved Valley organization is still searching for a new location. On a more positive note, it’s looking like more of that delicious
wicked brew is coming to the West Valley next year. If you want to know what I’m talking about, though, you’ll have to keep reading. So, let’s get into it, shall we? Here’s the news! First, Avondale’s Catitude Gallery and Studio is facing difficulties finding a new location. The West Valley nonprofit, which opened four years ago, closes every June for the summer. This year is different, however, as it has not reopened. Rather than re-launching in its usual Avondale location, the nonprofit is instead looking for a new spot in Goodyear. The owners have applied for a building, but are awaiting a response. Although this affects Catitude’s ability to operate its gallery and studio, a statement on its website confirms it will continue to emphasize its programs, which include those focused on Mural Artist Mentoring and Creative Aging. For more information on the history and future of Catitude Gallery and Studio, check out the

feature story later in this section. Looking to get a caffeine fix? Well, the next item is sure to boost your level of excitement. Dutch Bros. is coming to 580 N. Estrella Parkway, Goodyear. But hold your horses! We still have a
bit of time before the popular drivethru coffee joint opens. This location is set to begin construction very soon (the exact date is still to be determined), but the target grand opening target is February, according to owner Caleb Berkey. The initial hours will be 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., but Berkey is considering round-the-clock offerings. Now that we can cross that off the list, let’s move on. West Valley Women is hosting a networking event with its Funky Handbag Contest & Lunch from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Tuesday, November 7. Rolfs Salon and Karianne Munstedt Portrait will sponsor the event at the Arizona Broadway Theatre, 7701 W. Paradise Lane, Peoria. While this event is sure to be a great networking opportunity for West Valley Women members and nonmembers alike, it’s also bound to be a fun time, as its name would imply. There are five categories in which participants’ handbags will be judged: colorful and cheerful, or makes you smile; decorated by hand; completes the outfit; vintage; and judges’ choice. If you have a new or used career-type handbag, be sure to bring it as well, as they will be donated to Dress for Success Phoenix.

Walmart introduces Pickup Tower for Avondale shoppers
By West Valley View staff
Avondale Walmart shoppers are among the first in Arizona to experience new Pickup Tower technology. Debuting earlier this month, the 16-foot-tall tower functions like a giant, high-tech vending machine. For shoppers, it’s all about saving time. The tower can fill a customer’s online order in less than 1 minute. This is how it works: Customers who use Walmart.com can select their items and choose the “pickup” option when paying at the online checkout. A bar code is sent to their smartphones. When shoppers visit the store to retrieve their items, they scan the bar code at the Pickup Tower. Selected items appear within seconds.
“This technology is designed to give time back to our customers with a new shopping experience,” said Avondale Walmart Store Manager Jessica Minard. “The Pickup Tower pilot phase has been so successful that Walmart is expanding it to additional locations across the country—and we’re proud to launch one here in Avondale.” Earlier this year, Walmart launched Pickup Towers in Gilbert, Glendale and Mesa. The launch of Pickup Towers is Walmart’s latest innovation in the competitive retail marketplace. In addition to online shopping and home delivery via Walmart.com, many store locations also offer curbside or in-
store pickup. Walmart is investing approximately $6 billion in the United States on store growth, remodels and other shopping improvements. A recently completed remodel of the Avondale Walmart includes: new electronics department with interactive displays; enhanced baby department; larger assortment of industrial and power tools; expanded home and apparel departments; new pharmacy and private consultation room; and expanded self-checkout lanes. “We have been serving the Avondale community for 20 years, and this remodel represents our continued investment,” Minard said.

Rue will also be given the West Valley Regional Advancement Award and the Inspiration in Leadership Award, respectively. The event will be located at University of Phoenix Stadium, 1 Cardinals Drive, Glendale. But there’s too much for me to even scratch the surface in this little section. For more information, such as sponsorship opportunities and table rates, call 623-435-0431 or email kvossler@westmarc.org. The Goodyear Community Farmers Market is open from 8 a.m. to noon Saturdays. While hours are subject to change, the next market will be October 28. Stop by to support the local community and purchase an array of goods, ranging from organic produce and other locally grown and cultivated crops, vegetables and fruits, as well as fresh pastries and breads. You know… basically anything that you would get at a farmers market! Admission is free. The Goodyear Community Farmers Market is located at 3151 N. Litchfield Road. On a different end of the spectrum, let’s round this out with Tollesonbased Legends Furniture, which recently introduced three new furniture collections. The company’s new director of merchandising and product development, Stephanie Lena, is responsible for these new designs, titled South Loop, Crosby Street and Hideaway. While Legends Furniture does not sell directly to the public, these beautiful designs are definitely worth noting. The first, South Loop, has been noted
for its “rich walnut wood tones.” The next, Crosby Street was described as the most contemporary of the three collections. Finally, Hideaway was referred to as “casual” and “rustic.” But those are minor details. There is so much more to learn about these new collections.
bring a guest. On to the following week—it’s West Valley Women again! This time, the organization will hold the next edition of its Southwest Valley Quarterly Breakfast Series from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Wednesday, November 15. Another great networking event, the focus of this SW Valley Quarterly Breakfast will be an inspirational talk based around In My Wildest Dreams by Debbie Gaby. Reservations are required at $25 for members, $30 for nonmembers and $55 for a member who wishes to bring a guest. The event will be held at the Cancer Treatment Centers of America, 14200 W. Celebrate Life Way, Goodyear. For more information on either of these West Valley Women events, email lisap@westvalleywomen.org or call 602-573-7496. Reserve your spots at westvalleywomen.org. Approaching fast is WESTMARC’s annual Best of the West awards dinner, on Thursday, November 2. Registration and a silent auction will begin at 5:30 p.m., with the dinner set for 7 p.m. This is a big one, however, as this is the 25th Anniversary of the annual event. A number of important figures will be honored this year, including former Governor Jan Brewer and former Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs. Some of the available awards categories are Economic Engine, Quality of Life Enhancement and Excellence in Innovation. John Graham and Joe La

Catitude closes studio, switches focus to programs By Connor Dziawura
Catitude Gallery and Studio will forgo a brick-and-mortar location for the 2017-18 arts season after struggling to find a new home. Founded four years ago as a nonprofit arts education program, Catitude closes each June because of slow summer traffic and reopens in the fall. Due to expensive operating costs, Catitude was hoping to move from Avondale to Goodyear, but management has yet to find an affordable space. This won’t, however, have a negative impact on the organization, said Bonnie Lewis, Catitude executive director. Lewis will focus on programs like Creative Aging and Mural Artist Mentoring, which takes students on mural creation from public input to funding to completion. “It started out very small, but we’re trying to expand that part of it,” she said. While Mural Artist Mentoring was born from high school students’ interest, Creative Aging, has a different focus. “The Creative Aging program was a grant process partnering us with the
A
Boo l tifu
city of Goodyear through the Arizona Commission on the Arts and the (Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust). It’s a national program that tries to improve the quality of life for the aging,” Lewis explained. “Goodyear was a very strong partner in this and they have given us space, support, marketing and enrollment, and then we provide the cost of the materials and the teacher to run these programs. We are in process with our third one with the city of Goodyear. We’re beginning to branch out and try to run this program through possibly other cities.” Creative Aging has two certified teachers and 20 members who attend for two hours every Tuesday for four weeks. Given the wait list, the popularity is apparent, Lewis said. “It showed us that there was a great need for this population,” she added. “That there’s a lot of things for the younger people to do but there are not a lot of quality things for the seniors to do.” Other essential programs at Catitude are Follow Your Art Jr. and Business of
Art. The former is a summer workshop for teenagers, while the latter connects artists with local businesses willing to hang and promote the art, host a reception and sell it. “That’s a real important thing to us,” Lewis said. “We have always tried to connect businesses with the arts because the artists need to understand about business and the local businesses do need to support the local arts.” The next participating business is MLR Professional Tax and Accounting Services in Goodyear, which will be hosting an opening reception from 5:30 to 7 p.m. Thursday, November 16. Although the programs are important to her, Lewis hopes to find a new space to continue hosting art. Previously, Catitude displayed everything from
metal sculptures to woodwork and jewelry. The gallery was also known for hosting galas, metal arts expos, jewelry shows and book signings. “We tried to hit on every art form that we could,” she said. Regardless of physical space or programs offered, Catitude will continue to focus on its important goal: promoting arts in the West Valley. “The whole point of this is to bring the local arts to this local community because there is nothing,” she said. “There is no historical society venue. This is no museum venue. There is no gallery venue in this area. We want to bring that to this area. So that’s what we’re all about.” For more information, visit catitudegallery.org.

PIR hosts topping-off ceremony for select guests By Connor Dziawura
Season ticket holders, construction workers and Avondale officials were among the invitees to an October 18 topping-off ceremony, the raising of one of the highest steel beams of Phoenix International Raceway’s renovation project. Attendees signed the beam before a celebratory countdown to its placement on the massive structure. “What a proud day for all of us,” Bryan Sperber, PIR president, told the large crowd. “It’s such a huge milestone. We want to take a moment today to just again say how proud we are of the great job that Okland (Construction) is doing to create this new racetrack for all of us.” The renovations began in midFebruary, with completion on track for November 2018. PIR’s parent company, International Speedway Corp., is covering the $178 million cost. The project is a complete makeover. The Phoenix Raceway Project Powered by DC Solar is a phased project. The current set of changes is expected to be finished in the next few weeks. Okland Construction project director Glenn Kubricky said his firm is improving the customer experience. Suite renovations will reflect new finishes, flooring, ceilings, bathrooms, kitchens and layouts. Grandstand benches were replaced with comfortable individual seats with cup holders, he said. After this November's races, crews will work on the next phase, which includes a new midway.

Okland President Bill Okland added, “The infield is going to be a whole new experience as well for the fans. They’re going to get up closer with the cars and the drivers and see them actually preparing their cars for the race.” The project also will include a pedestrian tunnel underneath the track to connect the grandstands to the infield, Kubricky said. “We can’t wait until the completion of this,” said Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Gallardo. “The fan experience is going to be exciting for special guests and everyone else who comes to visit the actual park here.” Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise added, “Any time you can have an organization invest $180 million into a city of 83,000 people, 54 square miles, that’s incredible. Any time you invite 100,000 people to your city twice a year for a NASCAR race, show them who your people are, show them about your shop owners, the bars and the restaurants, that’s important. That does more than anything else you could ever do.”

The topping off for this phase comes on the heels of a new partnership between PIR and ISM Connect, which will result in the renaming of the facility next year. Moving into 2018, PIR will be known as ISM Raceway. Also in attendance at the topping off was NASCAR Hall of Fame inductee Rusty Wallace. This event is significant to Wallace, whose 55 career wins includes one in 1998 when he won the NASCAR Winston Cup Series Dura
Lube/Kmart 500 at PIR despite rain. “This is a great day because the track is being modernized so much,” Wallace said. “It’s really ahead of the time. Besides Daytona, this is going to be one of the most awesome tracks you are ever going to see. It’s not a rebuild; it’s a completely new build. I’m just really proud of what’s going on out here.” For details on the Phoenix Raceway Project Powered by DC Solar, visit phoenixraceway.com.

She’s selecting girls who are not graduating with us for her shots. Her approach is a lot more what they’re going to need to deal with consistent than what it’s been in the past next year.

For Stir Crazy Comedy Club, it’s all about the atmosphere By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Tom Simes admits he’s a bit of a control freak. But it’s with the help of his staff and his partners that Stir Crazy Comedy Club in the Westgate Entertainment District was born. “It’s really about trusting people who know what they’re doing,” Simes said. Stir Crazy Comedy Club, which celebrated its grand opening October 5, is an intimate venue, Simes said. “I’m a big fan of small comedy clubs,” said Simes, who is also a comedian. “We have three great clubs in town—Tempe Improv, Stand Up Live and House of Comedy. They’re all big clubs with big names. “My wife and I go to The Comedy
Store in Los Angeles. The original room seats about 100 people. I think that’s just the best environment for stand-up comedy. I like small rooms in which the energy fills it. We wanted to open a small room with national talent.” When he was searching for a space, he was impressed by Westgate. “Westgate has a great energy to it,” said Simes, who lives in North Central Phoenix. “The West Valley is starved for stand-up comedy. As I started to familiarize myself with the area, we found Westgate. I didn’t realize there was such a big nightlife out here.” Stir Crazy Comedy Club doesn’t have a minimum drink requirement, and it offers a handful of dishes ranging from teriyaki steak skewers and spicy
Billy Moore Days include showdowns and games
Asian slaw to personal pizzas. “We put quite a bit of thought into the menu,” he says. “We have full entrees, but we wanted to do interesting things like gourmet popcorns that we make here, with flavors like caramel and bacon, and Jamaican jerk. He relied on his team to help him create the menu. “I know comedy and I know how to produce comedy shows,” Simes said. “I don’t know anything about the food
booths for candy and giveaways. Barrel Wars, 3 p.m.: Watch Avondale firefighters battle with fire hoses as they push a barrel back and forth along a cable. Cheer on your favorite team and cool off as water flies. Pie-Eating Contest, 4 p.m.: Join patrons for a pie-eating contest on the family stage. Those ages 3 to adult can participate in respective divisions by eating pies provided by Village Inn. To sign up, stop by the Village Inn booth by 3:30 p.m. Saturday. Visit billymooredays.com for complete details, including community stage performers, headline entertainment, the parade, car show, kickball tournament, carnival rides, beer garden and food trucks. Admission is free, but there is a small charge for food vendors and carnival rides. For more information, call 623-3332400. Billy Moore Days is presented by the city of Avondale and produced by GooseBump Marketing & Events; sponsored in part by Desert Diamond Casino, PetSmart Charities, Crescent Crown, Modelo, Corona, Boot Barn, APS, Avenidas Funeral Chapel, Palm Valley Dentistry, SRP, West Valley Pediatric Orthodontics, Whataburger, Southwest Valley Chamber and AtoZ Rentals.

Support breast cancer awareness at The Wigwam By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
The Four-Diamond resort The Wigwam encourages guests to think pink this month and show their support for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The Wigwam has partnered with the nonprofit organization Arizona Assistance in Healthcare (AIH) to raise funds that benefit local cancer patients in need of financial support for nonmedical expenses. The historic casita-style resort set on 440 acres of lush landscaping including 8,000 rose bushes, is featuring several breast cancer awareness initiatives ranging from dining and golf specials. “Our pink pride runs deep at The Wigwam,” said Martin Greenwood, Wigwam’s vice president managing director and general manager. “Guests can expect to see pops of pink throughout the resort’s spectacular estate-like setting, including pink napkins at our restaurants and the staff at Red’s wearing pink bracelets in support of the cause. Whether it’s sipping a refreshing prickly pear margarita at

margarita for $5, with half of the proceeds to be donated to AIH. Beer lovers can imbibe in Wigwam Ale, a balance of malt and hop flavors brewed by Four Peaks Brewery, with $1 being donated from each pint sold.

Flavors of Louisiana beckons to lovers of all things Cajun WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 25, 2017
By Kenneth LaFave
It’s called Flavors of Louisiana, but your nose gets there long before your taste buds. Walk through the door, and the savory scent of gumbo, jambalaya, red beans and rice and more, raids your olfactory glands. Suddenly, you’re in the French Quarter. The zydeco music on the sound system confirms it. But no, you’re in Avondale. Louisiana boasts a unique cuisine, but for the most part, it stays in Louisiana. Cajun gets done here and there, but it is mostly a facsimile of the real thing. Enter Jennifer Landry Goff, who opened Flavors of Louisiana in 2008— in the wake of the financial crash, and less than three years after Hurricane Katrina reduced New Orleans to little more than a memory—as an eight-table eatery in an all-but-abandoned strip mall in a corner of Avondale, just off the I-10. She stuck with it, and over time, attracted a following that has slowly grown Flavors of Louisiana into a 32-table restaurant that packs ‘em in on weekends. Earlier this year, Goff opened a franchise in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In November, she will debut a Chandler location, and a Mesa restaurant is in the planning stages. The restaurant’s main dining room features a wall mural of a bayou on one side, and on the other, a display of Mardi Gras masks. It’s all to make the homesick Louisianan feel comfortable, said general manager Kelly Coles. As for advertising, it’s mostly word of mouth, plus a “big sign.” “We have a big yellow sign on the back of the building facing the I-10 which you can see heading west. A lot of people come in here because of that, saying they’ve been looking for Cajun food,” Coles said. “We make everything here from scratch,” she continued. “We fly in our alligator tail meat and we fly in live crawfish and boil them ourselves.” The alligator is for alligator po-boys ($12.99 for the 6-inch, $17.99 for the footlong), and the crawfish is for, well, a lot of things.
My night at Flavors of Louisiana started with a small bowl of seafood gumbo ($4.75), the rich soup/stew that is sometimes thickened with okra. The version at Flavors eschews okra for a delicious dark roux that pulls the crab and shrimp together into a compelling feast of tastes and textures. As an entree, I tried something the menu calls “Dunkin Catfish” ($15.95), which is three breaded strips of catfish, drowned in a crawfish etouffee, served over white rice. The catfish is flaky and not at all oily. The etouffee at Flavors of Louisiana is long on onion and garlic, which befits Cajun-style cooking as opposed to Creole, the more urban take on Louisiana food that favors tomato. It’s not surprising that Goff hails from Baton Rouge, not New Orleans (read: Cajun, not Creole) and that her recipes are family traditions. The dish comes with a side salad, but I paid an extra buck to upgrade to red beans and rice— more than well worth it. “Etouffee” comes from a French word that more or less means “stuffed” and I was indeed “etouffee” after my meal. When faced with dessert choices, I did the only thing someone filled to the gills would naturally do: I went for the peach cobbler ($5.50). The word “best” is one I rarely use, but some seasoning in the crust of this cobbler forces me to say: This is the best peach cobbler I have ever eaten. Other entrees include jambalaya ($11.99), the red bean bowl (red beans and rice topped with Cajun sausage), and, for those who prefer Creole style, a tomato-rich shrimp Creole ($14.95). A couple of by-the-ways: No beer or wine at Avondale, though the coming Chandler location will offer same. And the portions at the restaurant are very generous, so bring a friend or prepare to take some home. Flavors of Louisiana 13025 W.

Westview and Copper Canyon high school students received tablets, thanks to an agreement between the Tolleson Union High School District and Sprint. (Photo courtesy Tolleson Union High School District)
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski More than 100 students from Copper Canyon and Westview high schools, both of which are in the Tolleson Union High School District, were selected to participate in Sprint’s 1Million Project on October 9. The students listened to guest speakers from the district and governing board, as well as a representative from Sprint. Afterward, the pupils lined up in a style modeling a graduation ceremony, walked across the stage, some students with family members, to have a photo taken with their new tablet. As part of the program, the two schools will receive 800 tablet devices for students who have limited or no connection and/or no computers in the household. The plan covers the next four years, and every year, TUHSD will receive additional devices based on availability and need. The 8-inch tablets include a wireless card for internet connection, an internal hot spot, and an unlimited
text and voice plan. This year, TUHSD and Sprint are rolling out the program to ninth- and 10th-grade students, with 200 tablets allocated for each grade level for each of the two schools. “Although the district provides computer access before and after school at each of our campuses, many of our students are unable to take advantage of these resources because family obligations may require them to care for younger siblings or to work in support of their families,” said Joseph Ortiz, Tolleson Union High School District spokesman. “As our district continues to adopt digital textbooks, internet access at home is vital to our students’ ability to complete homework assignments. Offering our students the opportunity to participate in Sprint’s program will allow them to have greater access to the resources and digital tools necessary for their success in high school.”
