Inmates, Perryville staff show support for troops By Connor Dziawura
Perryville inmates and employees worked together to assemble care packages of donated items for troops at the prison Tuesday, October 24. The event – hosted by the Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) and Military Assistance Mission (MAM) – began at 7 a.m. “We like to give back to our veterans, whether they work for us or not,” said Rachel Theodore, ADC’s equal opportunity coordinator. “It’s our opportunity to show them that we appreciate their sacrifice and their service for our country.” The Arizona Department of Corrections held a drive from September 3 to October 20. Inmates participated in fundraisers, while ADC employees were encouraged to donate and collect items. ADC’s Correctional Officer Training Academy was heavily involved in the fundraising. Ultimately, more than $39,000 was raised, which went to MAM to use as it saw fit. The list of donated items is extensive, ranging from personal hygiene items, such as deodorant, mouthwash and tissues, to books, plastic bags, composition books, crossword puzzles and food. “Everything is appreciated, but the food for them is the hardest to get by,” said Monique Quinones, MAM’s director of operations. “That’s kind of why we’re

doing a little heavy on the food. We got some good things.” Donations were also given by outof-state organizations. Delta Dental of Illinois donated 250 toothbrushes and 250 tubes of toothpaste, while various schools submitted drawings. This is the second year ADC has held the care package drive. Last year, they worked with Tucson Area Marine Moms in ASPC-Tucson’s Whetstone Unit, where
the Regaining Honor veteran inmates assisted them. This is the drive’s first year with MAM, with whom ADC is hoping to work again. They would like to expand, bringing in more organizations and packing more boxes. “They (ADC) asked and we said, ‘Sure, we’d love to,’” explained Michelle Fawbush, MAM’s director of development.

Traveling Vietnam Wall coming for Veterans Day By Connor Dziawura
“Honor. Respect. Remember.” That is the American Veterans Traveling Tribute’s (AVTT) motto. The veteran-owned business is bringing its Traveling Vietnam Wall to Earl Edgar Recreational Facility in Buckeye to honor Veterans Day. The 80-percent-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. will be on view Thursday, November 9, through Sunday, November 12. “It’s a very touching experience for
anyone to come and be a part of it, especially if they have some of the history,” said Myra Curtis, Buckeye community engagement manager. “I would encourage families to educate their students or youth about the Vietnam era. They should learn why the war took place and what happened here in America while it was taking place. These young people received a non-heroes’ welcome when they returned to our country.”
The wall has more than 58,000 engraved names of killed or missing Vietnam servicemen. “I think it’s very important for us to understand what’s happened in the past, what part of it was the right thing to do and what part of it should never repeat itself in the future of America,” Curtis added. The wall is 8-feet-tall at the apex and

360 feet long, according to AVTT CEO Kevin Weatherly. Similar to the memorial in D.C., visitors can document names from the wall by rubbing a piece of paper on it. “It’s typically pretty emotional for everybody that attends,” Weatherly said. “It’s pretty moving when you walk out before the wall and you see these names.” The size alone lends credence to the massive losses documented on the wall. “To put it in perspective, if we put it on a football field and we set the center at the 50-yard line, it’ll go to almost both goal posts,” he added. “We walk before that and see all these names; it’s just really moving to stand before that.” The wall will begin its move to downtown Buckeye at 3 p.m. Wednesday, November 8, at the Palo Verde Energy Education Center, preceded by a 2 p.m. procession. From there, an escort will lead the wall to its final downtown Buckeye location. Schools, businesses and visitors can watch the escort on either side of Monroe Avenue, from 10th Street to Miller Road, as it makes its trek. “There are several veterans’ organizations and individuals from the community who will either ride motorcycles or in other types of vehicles, who, along with the Buckeye Police Department, will escort the wall into the location where we will set it up at Earl Edgar Recreational Facility,” Curtis explained. From Thursday, November 9, through Sunday, November 12, morning reveilles will be held at 7 a.m. Ceremonies are set for noon and 6 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. On Sunday,

an interfaith church service will be held at 10 a.m., with a ride to the wall at 1 p.m. and a closing ceremony at 2 p.m. While the weekend is surrounded by ceremonies and events, visitors will have 24-hour access to view the wall from its noon opening ceremony on Thursday to 3 p.m. Sunday. Each ceremony will have a different focus, according to Curtis. The Buckeye Youth Council and Luke Air Force Base are among the many groups involved throughout the weekend. American Legion Post 53, the VFW Post 12098 and the Daughters of the American Revolution will participate, too. This is the wall’s third stop in Buckeye, where it was previously brought in 2009 and 2013. The city is hoping for at least 3,000 visitors this year, Curtis said. Throughout the weekend, however, there will be plenty of other events to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country. This hits especially close to home, with the Buckeye Valley Museum hosting a special Honoring Our Veterans exhibit about the Buckeye Fallen Six. The Coyote Branch library will host a talk by Brigadier Gen. (Ret.) George Cannelos about “Vietnam History” at 6 p.m. Wednesday. He is loaning a Vietnam War Historical Display to the library for the month of November. Arguably one of the biggest aspects of the weekend is the third annual Buckeye Veterans Day Parade, which will include participation from the Tuskegee Airmen Motorcycle Club, Desert Young Marines, school bands and ROTC. It will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday and travel east to west along Monroe Avenue, then south on Miller Road. The parade will conclude at the wall. A free dinner for veterans and their families, sponsored by Walmart, will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday at American Legion Post 53. While the weekend extends beyond just the wall, it all comes back to the commemorative monument, which is typically an emotional experience for those who choose to experience it. “It’s a pretty emotional thing,” Weatherly said. “It covers a large spectrum of the population still that it affected. I guess that’s why it’s still so meaningful.” The AVTT Traveling Vietnam Wall Earl Edgar Recreational Facility 500 S.

Support...continued from page 1 “They reached out to us because they found us as a military organization and so we decided, ‘Heck yeah. We’ll do it.’” All the inmates who participated in the packing event this year are veterans, according to Theodore. “It’s very nice that these people can get something and be remembered from the people over here,” said inmate Cynthia Salazar. “I think it’s very important for the families to show that we’re supporting them because we need to support them. It’s just crazy going over there and coming back and getting support from people here.” The subject is near and dear to Salazar. She volunteered to participate because she served during Operation Desert Storm. “Even prisoners, we make mistakes,” she added. “We come here but we still are people. And so it’s very important for them to know that everybody supports them.” ADC compiled 100 boxes last year. So many items were left over that they had to host a second drive where 500 more boxes were packaged, according to Theodore. This year, ADC and MAM had 1,000 boxes ready to use. “When we have one of these events, they get really excited about it,” Theodore said of the inmates. “It’s their opportunity, even though they’re in here, to give back.” And the participating inmates and employees were excited, happily helping to make the care package drive another success. “It’s a good camaraderie,” Salazar said. “It’s the same as when you’re out in the field. It feels good that everybody is just the same level and working together for the same thing. It’s nice.” This event was significant for ADC, a veteranfriendly employer, with 53 active duty employees, 1,695 veteran employees and more than 2,500 veteran inmates. “It’s nice to be here with the warden and the deputy warden and people from central office, and they treat us like normal people because we are,” Salazar added. Of the troops, she said, “When it comes to these people, they’re what’s important in my opinion. The people over there, we want to make them feel like they are.”

Interchange in progress at I-10 4
NEWS
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 1, 2017
By Connor Dziawura
Valley residents can see the progress being made with the long-awaited Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway. Crews recently placed the first girders at the in-progress interchange at I-10 and 59th Avenue, where a flyover ramp is taking shape. This first flyover ramp will connect South Mountain Freeway to the I-10, sending traffic westward. This is just the beginning for the interchange, though. Five flyover ramps are planned at this location, with this being the first and the longest—at 1,565 feet. Now that 36 girders have been placed, workers will pour a concrete bridge deck later this year. The plan to construct the 22-mile South Mountain Freeway isn’t a new idea. It was initially approved by Maricopa County voters in 1985 and 2004. Also included in the interchange plan are additional roadways, auxiliary
lanes and road resurfacing. Roadways will be constructed between 51st and 67th avenues, parallel to I-10. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, this will replace direct freeway access to 59th Avenue, and improve traffic flow. The auxiliary lanes, on the other hand, will connect the I-10 with the interchange. Finally, crews will build new drainage, retaining walls and barrier walls, and surface I-10. Once complete, the interchange will provide direct access to South Mountain Freeway. The full South Mountain Freeway, however, will allow fluid transportation between the Loop 202 and Loop 101 upon completion, something Arizonans have anticipated for a long time. Additionally, it will also allow motorists an alternative to I-10 when traveling through downtown Phoenix.

Buckeye residents can sign up to receive local alerts By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Traffic collisions, flooded streets and other situations can wreak havoc for daily commutes and running errands. Being alerted to these types of events and how to get around them can save time and reduce stress. The city of Buckeye has partnered with Nixle to implement its Community Notification System to alert residents in real-time for localized relevant community advisories and even emergency situations. It’s voluntary, and there are three simple ways to register: Text your ZIP code to 888777 from your mobile phone Go to Nixle.com and type in your ZIP code Go to buckeyeaz.gov/alerts and sign up using the Nixle widget Once registered, residents will receive a confirmation text to their mobile device. Residents may also
customize their alert settings by going to nixle.com and creating a user profile. Once a user profile is created, residents will be able to choose to receive alerts by text, phone call or both and choose what types of alerts they wish to receive (i.e., emergency alerts, traffic or travel advisories, community notifications, etc.) For directions on creating a user profile and updating account settings, visit buckeyeaz.gov/ alerts. “This is an amazing resource for the city’s public safety departments and for our residents,” said Buckeye Fire Chief and Emergency Manager, Bob Costello. “The service is secure, reliable and easy to use.” All alerts will be targeted geographically, allowing residents to receive localized, relevant alerts via text and voice message, email and social media.

Sign up for e-bills, enter to win a bill credit
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
The city of Goodyear is encouraging residents to use electronic billing, or e-bills, for utility services. Anyone who receives an electronic bill or changes from paper billing to electronic billing through December 31 is eligible to receive a $50 or $200 bill credit, based on the type of service received from the city. “Of the nearly 29,000 utility customers served by the city of Goodyear, 18 percent receive e-bills. While that is great, we know we can do better, so we decided to run this contest,” said Customer Service Supervisor Johnn Gaio. “We encourage e-billing because it has a positive impact on the
environment by using less paper, and it opens up a variety of freedoms for our customers because they are able to access their account and pay their bill anywhere they have email access while eliminating the bulk in their mailbox.” In addition to being environmentally friendly and offering digital access to account information, e-bills are more efficient to process and track, improve accuracy and eliminate concerns arising from lost or damaged mail. For more information, full contest rules and to sign up for electronic billing, visit goodyearaz.gov/ ebill, call 623-882-7887 or email goodyearutilities@goodyearaz.gov.

Avondale receives three awards for marketing By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Avondale took top honors this year at the Arizona Talent in Event Concepts (AzTEC) Awards Competition for outstanding festival and event production and promotion for Billy Moore Days. Billy Moore Days was distinguished with the Gold Award for Outstanding Event. The event highlights Avondale founder, Billy Moore, and celebrates the city’s history and tradition with a parade, carnival and festival, which is a long-running tradition hosted in the historic part of the city. Avondale also took home a Gold honor for Best Radio Ad Spot used to promote Tres Rios Nature Festival, as well as a Silver medal honor for Best Newspaper Advertisement promotion for Billy
Moore Days. The AzTEC Awards, endorsed by the International Festivals and Events Association (IFEA), began in 1994 and the annual awards competition tradition continues through the efforts of event production in Arizona. A critical component of successful events is their ability to distinguish themselves in the most attractive and innovative ways possible. The AzTEC Awards support all the efforts it takes to promote and produce events. This 23rd annual AzTEC awards was hosted Thursday, October 19, at Main Event in Avondale.

ballot centers open in the West Valley. Avondale City Hall voting hours are 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily through Election Day, while the Buckeye Elementary School District Office’s daily hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is notable, as Maricopa County is operating its new all-mail voting system for off-year jurisdictional elections. Voters should have received an early ballot in the mail, whether they signed up for the permanent early voting list or not. This is considered an all-mail election, but there are other options, according to Maricopa County Recorder’s Office spokeswoman Karen Loschiavo. “That does not mean people can’t vote in person,” she explained. “If that’s what they really want to do, there are ballot centers open across the Valley.” Like Avondale City Hall and Buckeye Elementary School District Office, these new ballot centers differ from traditional polling places. Voters can visit any ballot center, as opposed to a preassigned one. Loschiavo said voters can turn in their ballots there, or receive replacement mail-in ballots. Because there is an October 27 deadline to request a new mail-in ballot, these centers provide an extra opportunity
beyond that date. The first ballot centers opened October 11. The process is in phases, with 27 locations planned throughout Maricopa County by Election Day. Avondale City Hall was part of the first phase, while the Buckeye Elementary School District Office was added October 28. More locations are set to open in the West Valley. The process is simple, too. Voters need only bring either their state-issued ID or voter ID card. The information may be looked up by election workers as well. After scanning your ID at one of the many on-site kiosks and verifying your information, your ballot is printed and filled out. “The check-in is really quick, really smooth (and) does not take very long at all,” Loschiavo said. “That’s a change from previous elections as well.” Maricopa County found this process to be more cost-effective, secure and simple, according to Loschiavo. This is only valid for off-year local elections. Loschiavo noted the county would like to keep ballot centers, but countywide elections still require voters to sign up for the permanent early voting list to receive a mail-in ballot.

Desert Sweet Shrimp swims back to Gila Bend By Veronica Galek
Gila Bend is the unlikely home of a shrimp farm, let alone one that is back in business. Workers at Desert Sweet Shrimp recently harvested shrimp for the first time in seven years. International shrimp production increased competition and, inevitably, forced the farm the close. Shrimp lovers can pick up frozen shrimp for a limited time starting this week at the farm. “I don’t know why it tastes so good when it comes from out here, just like how they don’t know what makes Vidalia onions from Georgia so special,” said owner Gary Wood. The business began in 1995 after Wood’s family spent time farming in Ecuador and learned that shrimp grew well in water similar to Arizona’s monsoon season. “The shrimp absolutely love it here,” Wood said. “You know that 120-degree weather in the summer we all hate? They love that. I think that because of the weather, Arizona can become a
competitive place for shrimp farming.” Growing shrimp away from the ocean requires a certain salinity, which is the measure of salt in water. “What we’ve done is we’ve taught the animals to live here instead of next to the ocean,” Wood said. “We take those same characteristics and make it so that we can farm here.” Desert Sweet Shrimp employee Craig Collins said the farm prides itself on being recognized by the Monterey Bay Aquarium and other institutions for sustainable aquaculture. “When they go in the gulf they put their nets on the bottom of the ocean floor and tear it up,” Collins said. “That’s one of the reasons why there’s dead zones out there where nothing can live. That’s probably the worst thing they can do. It’s not at all environmentally friendly. This is sustainable.” The shrimp grown in Gila Bend are known for having a “sweet” and “clean” taste, unlike shrimp taken from the ocean. That’s what brings customer Reed King back every time.

“It is the tastiest shrimp you’ll ever have,” King said. “It really is. If you saw the facilities where the shrimp that come from Asia grows, you’d never eat it.” Wood said that his shrimp tastes like it should when it’s grown without diseases and pollutants. “When you go to the grocery store and pick up a bag of shrimp, you can smell it,” Wood said. “I used to not like shrimp because I didn’t like the fishiness of it. When I pick this shrimp up, I can’t smell a thing. It’s got a texture to it unlike any shrimp you’ve ever had. It’s crunchy and feels like you’re biting into an apple.” In its heyday, Desert Sweet Shrimp was the featured food at the Arizona State Fair and shipped around the country to natural food stores, and local sports bars and grills. “You know what chefs can do with the shrimp?” Wood said. “They can make desserts with it. They can put it on a bed of strawberries and sweet rice. The reason it works is because of the texture and sweetness of it.” The business’ success led to a shrimp festival in Gila Bend, attracting visitors from all over the country. “The town’s only got about 1,500 people,” Wood said. “When we had our shrimp festival, we had around 5,000 people show up from other places in Arizona and bordering states. We had lines out the door to come in and see the process of our farming. We want to get back to that soon.” Now that the farm has returned to
production, only three of 60 ponds available are in use. The business is primarily selling locally to its loyal customers. “Some of the old chefs we used to sell to are asking me when they are going to be able to serve our shrimp again,” Wood said. “With the high demand from people who remember us, I don’t think we’re going to be able to make any promises. If we’re successful this year, we’ll be able to make more next year and get back to where we were.” King, who grew up in Buckeye and owned a farm down the road from Desert Sweet Shrimp, is one customer who is looking forward to this year’s harvest. “We just had a family function for 125 people,” King said. “I got 100 skewers of shrimp from Gary and it was the hit of the evening. We had lots of other food, but the shrimp was, without question, the hit.” King acknowledged that the market for shrimp is competitive, but that he thinks it’s important to shop locally. “The biggest challenge they face is they’re competing against the Asian shrimp market,” King said. “Price, like so many things in aquaculture, is determinative. That’s really the challenge they’re faced with, because they can produce the product without any question.” Desert Sweet Shrimp 47520 S. Old U.S. 80 Gila Bend 623-393-0136 arizonashrimp.com

OPINION
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 1, 2017
OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS
JUDGE’S OPINION — Kansas City Star
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Goodyear’s efforts concern taxpayer Editor: Why does our City Council continue to flush taxpayer money down the toilet? They hired a consulting firm to figure out the best places for fire stations in Goodyear. I assumed that the fire chief would have enough knowledge of his own department, but I guess his word isn’t good enough. The funny thing is the city was given the opportunity to secure land in a prime location for free! Wow, that sounds like a great deal. I’m happy to see that the underserved residents in Old Town Goodyear will finally get the same benefits for their taxpayers after being neglected by this council. Not really. Instead of going to the free and best location, according to their workshop video, they’re now trying to move it to a location surrounded by cotton fields and industry that we have to pay for. That’s right, they are turning away the free land in the best spot to put a station in a worse spot and pay a premium for it with our money. So, we paid a lot of taxpayer money for a company to tell us where to put the stations and now we’re disregarding their recommendation! Nick Martine Goodyear
Kudos for Litchfield Park Editor: I apologize that this letter is overdue. My last letter complained about the algae in the Litchfield Park lake. I really didn’t think they were ever going to get a handle on the problem, or at least not so quickly. That was right before summer, and knowing how hot it gets here and the fact that algae loves to grow in the heat, it just seemed insurmountable. However, they did, and rather quickly. So, kudos to the city. Also, with the winter grass seed in and all the watering done, the whole park is looking really great. It’s just too bad the grass can’t look this nice all year. Also, I am looking forward to finally getting the lights on the north and east sides fixed. They have not worked for, literally, several years. Even three or four of the lights on the new sidewalk do not work anymore. But I do think the city should be thanked for keeping the
lake, and other parks, looking so nice. Sharon Green Litchfield Park
Fact check: No tax increase Editor: Voters need to make decisions based on facts, and in Vicki Chelini’s October 18 letter to the editor, “Say no to the tax override,” she incorrectly stated that there would be a tax increase if she voted “yes” for the Buckeye Elementary District Override. The district is not seeking an increase, as some districts around the state are indeed doing. Rather, BESD is simply asking to continue the same override and rate that has been in place for 30 years. There is no tax rate increase by voting yes. We do share Ms. Chelini’s frustration, and she does correctly identify the source of the challenge: the state’s continued refusal to adequately fund public education, but let us not take that frustration out on the schools. Arizona’s per pupil spending ranks us 48th in the country, and our children deserve better. However, the appropriate response to this situation is not to block schools’ access to the funding that can help them survive in such a hostile climate. Our schools have always been here for us; we have to find a way to be there for them. I urge you to vote “yes” for the Buckeye Elementary School District Override. Charlene Powers Buckeye
Educational advantages in Avondale Editor: Please remember to stress to all voters that every single vote in the Southwest Valley counts! Especially critical to our future are the Tolleson Union High School District and the Littleton Elementary School District bonds. I live in Avondale’s expanding and now-flourishing Desert Springs Village, which is north of the Coldwater Golf Course. My family and I remain devoted to our growing local schools. Help ensure that each child—regardless of ZIP code or neighborhood—
receives a high-quality education that actually does “level the playing field.” Remember that all children are capable of success—no exceptions—and advocate for Avondale’s Kids@Hope among your friends and neighbors! Don’t forget to mention the following to undecided voters: “According to the National Association of Realtors, the most influential amenity impacting a buyer’s decision to purchase a particular home is proximity to good schools.” Fellow taxpayers: An affirmative vote is in your own personal interest, while also benefiting Avondale’s and Tolleson’s schoolchildren. Right now, we need to vote for our schools and our future. David J. Cedor Avondale
Stay informed about RX Editor: I was reading Roy Azzarello’s letter in the October 25, 2017, West Valley View about prescription drug advertising. Do you remember the commercial on TV, when Abilify (aripiprazole) was being advertised as an “antidepressant?” This drug is actually an antipsychotic drug. One side effect it has: it can increase the blood sugar levels and give a “false-positive test result for diabetes.” This is to be taken into consideration if you have diabetes and are prescribed an antipsychotic drug. Contrary to what Mr. Azzarello thinks, we need to be more informed as to what our doctors prescribe us. That’s why your pharmacist gives you an information sheet on your prescriptions: it tells you what your medication is for and the
possible side effects; whether to take with or without food and the “contraindications,” or what other medications you should not take. Back in August 2014, my elderly mom was diagnosed with “chronic idiopathic urticaria,” or severe hives of unknown origin. She was prescribed a five-day regime of 20 milligrams of prednisone. Her doctor forgot to prescribe her 20 milligrams Cimetidine. Without it, the prednisone will burn a hole in her stomach. It relieved the itching for five days, but it came back on the sixth day. It wasn’t treating the underlying condition. She was finally referred to a kidney specialist. He diagnosed her condition as stage-3 kidney disease and put her on 0.25 mcgs. calcitriol; her itching went away. Prednisone has some side effects, such as abdominal pain, water retention, blood clots and irritability, and can worsen stomach ulcers. So, when you get a prescription, read the information sheet and ask your doctor if you have any questions about your medications. You are important to you and your family. Laura Rivas Buckeye

Quitters never win – unless they’re U.S. senators WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 1, 2017

By David Leibowitz
You keep reading Sen. Jeff Flake’s speech heard ‘round the nation, poring over it like a math equation, hoping the sentences will add up to a different result, one that makes sense. You want to love this speech, after all, because every single paragraph, save one, contains every single thing woefully missing from American politics. Flake’s October 24 speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate was lofty and principled, heartfelt and humble, laced with history and high-mindedness, all qualities which no longer please us in the age of the Tweeter-In-Chief. Most of all, Flake nailed it in describing what ails our dysfunctional political system, in this, the 241st year of our republic. “We,” said the junior senator from Arizona, “must never meekly accept the daily sundering of our country— the personal attacks, the threats against principles, freedoms and institutions; the flagrant disregard for truth or decency, the reckless provocations, most often for the pettiest and most personal reasons, reasons having nothing whatsoever to do with the fortunes of the people that we have all been elected to serve.” It was the most inspirational line in a speech full of great lines. And it stood out as perhaps the most direct call to arms yet from a Republican against President Donald Trump and what he

something less than a return to principle. Flake cloaked his retirement in Teddy Roosevelt quotes and eloquent talk about America’s role in the world. By contrast, shying away from taking on Trump-aligned Kelli Ward parallels the American withdrawal from world affairs Flake lamented in his speech. The “implications of this abandonment are profound,” Flake said of Trumpism’s “screw the rest of the world” attitude. “And the beneficiaries of this rather radical departure in the American approach to the world are the ideological enemies of our values. “Despotism” said Flake, “loves a vacuum.” Well said. But vacuums are what quitters create. So now we wait for Flake’s next act. He has spoken truth to power, for certain. Whether he walks the walk remains to be seen.

Business Briefcase
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 1, 2017
By Connor Dziawura
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase! Well, October has come and gone, and now we’re getting ready for this massive “giving of thanks,” which would be incomplete without turkey, stuffing and gravy. Wow, I’m making myself hungry just thinking about it! There are also December’s slate of holidays, but I must keep the Business Briefcase ball rolling. All of us in the business community know that branching out and meeting our fellow business owners is important. So, I’ll start with a new development that recently came to an area that’s likely near to many of you, then I’ll move on to the plethora of networking opportunities. Well, here it is–the news! First this week, Dollar Tree opened a location at 107th Avenue and Thomas Road on October 19, in the former location of a Fresh and Easy. Dollar
Tree needs no introduction, and now Avondale shoppers will have access to the franchise’s large collection of affordable and diverse goods. The Avondale Center for Dollar Tree is located at 10725 W. Thomas Road. Now on to the networking events! First is the fastest-approaching event– and it’s a classic for sure! The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce is holding its monthly Chamber 101 meeting from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, November 2. Stop by to network, learn reasons why you might be interested in becoming a member of your local chamber of commerce and enjoy a delicious lunch provided by Goodyear’s own Haymaker Restaurant Co.

Shopping, tourist and festival season WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 1, 2017

By John Safin President and CEO Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce It’s November. This means the Christmas and holiday supplies have been displayed alongside Halloween decorations for months. You might have snickered at that comment or maybe scowled. The truth: Consumers want to buy merchandise long before every holiday. From business owners’ points of view, they need to have holiday merchandise available when consumers want it or their competition will grab all the customers. It’s all about listening to customers and making sales to keep our community prosperous. You might have heard about the annual “Shop Small Business Saturday,” created by American Express in 2010. The so-called bigbox stores and shopping malls claimed the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is followed by Cyber Monday for the online shoppers. The Shop Small Saturday gives the locally owned stores a day of their own. The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce has taken it to the next level. We want everyone to “Shop Small-Shop Big-
Shop Local.” We want shoppers, diners and fun-seekers from the metro area, state and the entire country to shop the Southwest Valley. Everyone in the world can visit, have fun, enjoy the experience and spend money, of course. When I talk about the Southwest Valley, I mean the cities of Avondale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson. I always tell people to compare our community to a cruise ship: Four cities (decks), each with their own vibe, flavor and feel. Put us all together on the USS Southwest Valley and there’s no place on the planet that has what we can offer. It’s my belief travelers from across the country and around the world have two stops in Arizona: The Grand Canyon and Southwest Valley. Another facet that makes our community great is the people. You, your family and neighbors, business owners and workers, and community volunteers are big reasons tourists and winter visitors tell us they like coming to the Southwest Valley. Friendly, happy
and welcoming are words they use the most to describe their experience. Please remember two things as we get closer to the end of the year. First, there are many fairs, festivals and events scheduled. You’ll find many of them posted online, southwestvalleychamber.org. If you know of any upcoming events taking place in the four-city area, it’s a free posting on the Chamber’s online calendar. Look for “Calendar & Events” on the homepage menu. The other thing to remember: Many charities in the Southwest Valley need volunteers and donations especially this time of year. They serve a need in the community and can always use our help. Call the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce if you’re looking to help a specific charity or nonprofit. On behalf of the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce, thank you to

Trivium Prep wins region, playoff game for 1st time WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 1, 2017
17
By Casey Pritchard
Trivium Preparatory Academy turned things around quickly in its second year of varsity football, winning the 1A South Region with a 7-1 regular season record. The Crimson Knights followed that success up by winning their first playoff game, a 28-26 nail-biter over Joseph City October 21. “It was awesome,” said Trivium Prep coach Mike Spencer. “It felt like we had our whole community there, and seeing the people running up and down the sidelines celebrating. For a smalltown atmosphere, they brought some energy. It was great.” Trivium Prep, the sixth seed, trailed to No. 11 Joseph City in the final 2 minutes, but marched 80 yards downfield to take the lead with 13 seconds remaining. Quarterback Mason Moore ran 20 yards to pay dirt for the game-winning score. “We ran a quarterback ISO right up the middle,” Spencer said. “It was fourth and 2. I knew if we just got the first down the clock would stop and we’d still have a timeout. I was trying to, at worst, get the first down, at best, if we score, that would be great.” Moore rushed for 171 yards and three touchdowns, while throwing for 124 yards and another score. The win advanced Trivium Prep to the state quarterfinals against No. 3 Superior Jr./Sr. October 28. Trivium Prep faced Superior in the first game of the season August 18, but the Crimson Knights lost 34-26. It was their only defeat all year. “It’s a nice opportunity to see them again,” Spencer said. “They’re a team that traditionally goes undefeated in recent years, so we knew it was going to be a good test for us. We fell short, but we knew we had something special if we could put something together. Our next goal was to win the region and hopefully get a chance to see that team again in the playoffs, and everything kind of worked out.” After losing its season opener, Trivium Prep nearly lost again the following week to Salome. The Crimson Knights gave up three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to fall behind, but scored late and pulled out a 46-44 victory. It was a win that really gave the team confidence, Spencer said. “Winning a game like that kind of let the kids know, hey, the game is never
over, we can’t just give up,” Spencer said. “Until that final whistle blows, we still have an opportunity, and it was nice to see that pay dividends in the playoffs as well. It definitely carried over.” Trivium Prep rolled to victory in each of its next five games, including shutout wins against region foes Duncan, Sells Baboquivari and St. David. That set up a showdown for the region title with Valley Union in Elfrida. “We had to go down there, and traveling to these little towns all over Arizona I didn’t even know existed. It’s different,” Spencer said. Trivium Prep only led 28-22 at halftime, but outscored Valley Union 14-0 in the second half to secure a 4222 victory. “They brought a lot of intensity, and we just had to match it,” Spencer said. “Traveling four-plus hours on a bus ride, we didn’t come off and match their intensity. We re-gathered ourselves at halftime, made the necessary adjustments and the kids, we tell them, you’ve got to leave no doubt, and the second half, that’s what they did.” Trivium Prep’s turnaround this season was big, considering it went just 3-5 last year in its first varsity campaign. “We were young last year, only had one graduating senior,” Spencer said. “So, it was nice to have everybody come back and get a year in the system, a year under their belt and a full offseason. That’s definitely helped transition into more confidence this year.” Spencer and his coaching staff also changed the defense and made tweaks to their offense to adapt to what they encountered in eight-man football. Spencer has traditionally coached standard 11-man football, as he was an assistant at Millennium and Desert Edge. “After studying what the good teams were doing, we kind of tried to mirror and pattern ourselves to what they were doing,” Spencer said. Spencer also noticed an improvement in his athletes’ work ethic, which has been a major contributing factor to the team’s success. “They have bought in to the weight room and speed and conditioning program coach (Phil) Friedrich put together for them, and their overall hunger to want to win (is greater),”
Spencer said. “These kids are competitive here and regardless of what aspect you put them in, they’re going to compete. They just want to be the best, whether it’s in the classroom or competing.” Next year, Trivium Prep will move up to 2A and compete in 11man football. Spencer said he’s excited about the change because it’s Trivium Preparatory Academy Varsity Knights Senior Football the traditional form of Player Robert Sanders pushes through a Joseph City High what he’s learned and School player’s defense. (West Valley View photo by Jordan Christopher) studied. However, he’s of our high AzMERIT scores or SAT excited about what this team has accomplished for Trivium scores. So, to let them know it’s a full campus with extracurriculars and Prep this year. “It’s definitely good for the school, sports, it’s good to get it out there in it gives us a little bit of notoriety,” the community what kind of school Spencer said. “It’s a school traditionally Trivium is.” Trivium Prep lost to Superior Jr./Sr. known for its academics.

4 Southwest Valley football teams make state playoffs By Casey Pritchard
It was a crazy final weekend of finished 19th in the power-points high school football’s regular season rankings and were awarded the 15th October 27, with teams jockeying to seed in 6A. That has the Knights taking get into the playoffs or secure a home on No. 2 Mesa Desert Ridge, which went 9-1. Desert Ridge knocked Westview game. Four Southwest Valley schools are out of last year’s state playoffs. “We know they’re a hard-nosed, tough postseason bound, and one will host the opening round. The first-round football team,” Gehrts said. “They want playoff games in 4A-6A are at 7 p.m. to run the ball, their front seven is really Friday, November 3, at the higher seed. good. It’s a tough matchup, but once you get to this point they’re all Westview made the 6A tough, so we just have to playoffs by winning each FOOTBALL come out and do what we of its final five games, all do.” in the Southwest Region. In 5A, Verrado and Desert Edge The Knights started the year 0-5. “We’re young and inexperienced; we made the playoffs after an overtime went through a little bit of a grind with battle between the two schools for the our nonsection,” said Westview coach Desert West Region championship Nick Gehrts. “We just look at it as five October 27. Verrado beat the Scorpions playoff-caliber teams, and we think we on the final day of the regular season were tested early on. That’s the good for the second consecutive year 24-17 news. Once we got going into section, in OT. Last year, the Vipers won 6-3 in we just went back to the basics and double overtime. “That was our first outright title for focused on fixing all the little things, the region, and our kids were excited and going 1-0 every single game.” By virtue of its poor start, Westview about it,” said Verrado coach Tom Ward.

“I think it means everything for the football program. It was the last year with Edge in the same region. They drop down to 4A (in 2018). Edge has dominated this region. So, to win it for the last time with them in our region— at least for the next two years—meant everything in the world for our kids.” Desert Edge scored 10 unanswered points in the final 5 minutes to force overtime, and kicked a field goal with just 3 seconds remaining to tie it at 1717. Verrado had the ball first in overtime and scored a touchdown. Desert Edge fumbled on its possession, with the Vipers recovering to secure the victory. “When they tied it, our kids were frustrated,” Ward said. “We had that 3-minute time period to regroup, and we came out and battled. We did a great job to win the ballgame. It could have gone either way in overtime.”
Verrado finished the season 8-2 and earned the No. 8 seed in the 5A playoffs. It will host ninth-seeded Marana (8-2) in the first round. “I know nothing about Marana,” Ward said immediately after the brackets came out October 28. “We’re just excited we get a home game and we’ll get ready for that one.” Desert Edge (7-3) had a chance to receive a first-round home game had it won, but dropped to No. 13 with the loss. The Scorpions will face No. 4 Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep (10-0) in the first round. Desert Edge lost 2721 in overtime to the Saints August 25. Scorpions coach Jose Lucero said he’s looking forward to the rematch. “They’re a good team; we’ve got our hands full,” Lucero said. “They’re 10-0

By West Valley View Staff
Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series rookie and 2016 NASCAR XFINITY Series Champion Daniel Suárez is scheduled to appear at RollBar for a moderated question-andanswer session before the Can-Am 500 at 9 a.m. Sunday, November 12. The first Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR national series race, Suárez is a rising star in the sport and a contender for the 2017 Rookie of the Year after replacing Carl Edwards behind the helm of the No. 19 ARRIS Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing.
He spent the past two seasons racing to the top of the ranks in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, including three topfive and three top-10 finishes at his self-proclaimed hometown track in Phoenix, before earning the title of 2016 NASCAR XFINITY Series champion. Suárez became a Phoenix-favorite after earning his first win in the Valley in 2014, the NASCAR Mexico Series Toyota 120. He solidified his Phoenix reputation last fall earning his first NASCAR Camping World Truck Series win in the Lucas Oil 150,
which he followed up with a legendary Mannequin Challenge in Gatorade Victory Lane. Roll-Bar, located on the west side of the track behind the Bobby Allison grandstands, features the best in live entertainment each day throughout the entire Can-Am 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series race weekend at Phoenix Raceway, as well as appearances by some of NASCAR’s top personalities. Single-day tickets to Roll-Bar are $129 on Saturday, November 11.
Single day Roll-Bar passes for Sunday, November 12, are sold out. Limited two-day packages are available for $298, and include passes to Roll-Bar for Saturday and Sunday. The additional purchase of a grandstand ticket is still required for track admission. Tickets to all events throughout the Can-Am 500 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series weekend at Phoenix Raceway are available online, by phone at 1-866-408-RACE (7223) or in person at the Phoenix Raceway ticket office.

Region by beating Estrella Foothills 6639 October 27. The Hawks (8-3) needed a 40-39 victory October 20 against Youngker to have a shot for the title. “It was a super emotional game at Youngker,” said Buckeye coach Kelley Moore. “We won a game we shouldn’t have won. It took us until (October 25) to really get some energy back in practice, but they responded well.”
Moore credited quarterback Joseph Perez for holding a players-only meeting during the week to motivate the team. “He did an excellent job, and I want to give him credit for turning the week around so we ended up playing well,” Moore said. The 14th-seeded Hawks travel to No. 3 Higley (9-1) for the first round of the playoffs.
“I don’t know anything about them yet, I haven’t seen film yet,” Moore said October 28 after the brackets were released. “I know what I hear. Obviously, they’re an excellent football team, coach (Eddy) Zubey and I are friends, I know what kind of guy he is, which is a good thing. I know his kids will be competing; we just need to prepare ours so that we do.”
for a reason, but it’s always a good chance to right a wrong, a good chance to play a team that beat you, especially in a close game like that. It’s a chance to see if we can correct some things. I’m sure they’ll do the same and we’ll let the chips fall where they may.” In 4A, Buckeye won the Southwest rs.

Country singer keeps it real with new single WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 1, 2017
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Country singer Harry Luge calls himself a “simple person” who has played honky-tonk dive bars with dirt parking lots for most of his career. Things are about to change. On October 27, the Scottsdale native released his first major-label single, the playful “Drunk in My Drink,” which is bound to be a show staple. He is plotting dates around the United States to promote the single and a forthcoming album. He is also scheduled to appear November 9 and November 10 at Phoenix International Raceway. “My music is real country music,” Luge said over drinks at Starbucks, with a trucker hat pulled low. “Nothing against the music out there, but there’s a market out there for the music we care about a lot. I grew up listening to Chris Ledoux, Garth Brooks, George Strait, Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn—anything from the 1980s or 1990s. “That music really struck me.” However, country music is in his genes. His father, the late Harry Sr., developed Canyon Moon Ranch, the location of Country Thunder, as well as Rooster’s in Mesa. Luge the younger has been dubbed “Country Thunder ambassador.” “I grew up in that location,” said Luge, of Rooster’s. “That’s where I honed my songwriting skills. It’s a really neat thing. My wife and I travel back and forth to Nashville. These awesome opportunities keep coming up. We’re taking advantage of them as best we can.” Luge had no interest in being a cowboy when he was younger. He was into Skateland and sports. “When country music started to get involved, it moved me in a way that was awesome,” he said. “Country music is about honesty, truth, heartache and happiness. Also, faith is a big part of country music.” Luge is more than five albums in. He recorded “Drunk in My Drink” with producer Dennis Money. Throughout each release, one thing has been consistent. “I’ve always tried to tell true stories and write songs that relate to me or
something I’ve seen,” he said. “But the most important thing is we have fun. We have a grassroots army. They’re all friends. You won’t catch me calling them ‘fans.’ They’re ‘friends.’ “Every time we have an opportunity to shake someone’s hand—that kind of stuff doesn’t have a price.” He means everyone, too. He and his wife, Tara, have a home in Queen Creek and one in Nashville, so they can network. (He calls Tara the “brains” behind the operation.) Luge is just trying to make friends. “This is a whole new game for me,” he said. “I’ve been playing honkytonks, fairs and festivals my whole life. I’m learning how to record and what goes on with that. Sure, there have been other albums. Sure, there have been Drink.” (Photo courtesy Harry Luge) other things.

Juan Carlos: A literacy program success story
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 1, 2017
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Juan Carlos has been called an inspiration. Carlos moved here from Mexico to become a permanent resident and, subsequently, a U.S. citizen. When he wanted to improve his English – and his chances of passing the citizenship test – he looked to the Southwest Valley Literacy Association. He faithfully attended classes with tutor Diane Rosztoczy. As he become more proficient in English, he was promoted to a supervisory position at the dairy which employed him. “He now has the responsibility for supervising 62 employees,” Rosztoczy said. “His strong grasp of English enables him to not only communicate with employees in different languages, but also to interact with vendors and service providers in English.” Carlos studied diligently in class for his citizenship test. He memorized the answers to all of the 100 possible questions, and worked on the multipage application in class. His
hard work paid off. After he passed the citizenship test, his employer was so impressed with his dedication that they reimbursed him for his expenses to get his citizenship. To celebrate his achievement, the dairy owners and his teachers attended Carlos’ July citizenship ceremony at the Sandra Day O’Connor Courthouse. The Southwest Valley Literacy Association needs tutors as more non-English speaking adults from Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Avondale, Tolleson and Buckeye discover the program. “We always have a long list of students waiting for tutors to help them learn how to read, write and speak English,” said Southwest Literacy President Jan Cosgrove. “Imagine how frustrating it is for a non-English speaking adult to perform simple daily tasks such as making a doctor’s appointment, ordering food in a restaurant, or helping their kids with their homework. Imagine now how
good it feels when a student lands a new job, gets their driver’s license, or obtains their citizenship. It’s through the efforts of our dedicated tutors at Southwest Valley Literacy that we help 200 adults achieve these types of successes each year.” Tutor training workshops are offered several times a year, including November 11 and November 18, or January 6 and January 13. Prospective tutors do not need to have teaching experience or speak any language other than English. Upon completion of the two-day workshop, they will be certified by ProLiteracy America as a literacy and ESL tutor. For more information, visit swvalleyliteracy.org, or email Jan Cosgrove at office@ swvalleyliteracy.org.

Litchfield Park festival combines artwork, beauty

By Carson Mlnarik
For two days each year, Litchfield Park streets transform into a vibrant, lively arts district, thanks to one of the Southwest’s top art shows. Vermillion Promotions’ Litchfield Festival of the Arts is set for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, November 4, and Sunday, November 5. Parking and admission are free. Just one look at the venue and its selection and it’s no wonder why, for 47 years, patrons have planned their Arizona vacations around the Litchfield Park Festival of Arts. Known for its high-quality art and craftsmanship, the event brings in more than 250 artists and vendors, who use watercolors, oil paint and blown glass, and other techniques. “We have the full spectrum, from $20 to $20,000, in every medium,” said event producer Candy Vermillion, who, early on, sold handmade goods in a library parking lot. “We still have grandpas who come out and make wooden toys, and moms who crochet,” she said. “Art” doesn’t just mean fine art, either. Performers will showcase different genres and cultures. Taking the stage this year are Yellow Bird Dancers, Bluesman Mike Andersen and the Blues Review Band, and five-time world champion hoop dancer Tony Duncan. Visitors can unwind with gourmet food trucks and tents with roasters and cookers. No event is complete without desserts. Homemade ice cream, kettle

West Valley effort continues to spread Christmas joy
WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 1, 2017
By Adam Toriseva
Christmas is a magical time when friends and family come together to celebrate harmony. For children, the magic also comes from receiving special gifts, hand delivered by Santa Claus. But, children in war-torn or impoverished areas don’t have this luxury. North Carolina-based Operation Christmas Child works to bring holiday joy to these families. Volunteers pack shoeboxes with various items like school supplies and clothes for kids. “We pack hygiene kits which are comprised of a washcloth and soap, toothbrushes, combs, age-appropriate toys, school supplies like pens, composition notebooks, pencils, erasers, rulers and sharpeners,” said Natalie Widomski, community relations and network coordinator for Operation Christmas Child in the West Valley. “Baseballs and inflatable soccer items are considered our ‘wow’ items. We also have dolls, Barbies, hair accessories, shirts, shoes, socks and underwear.” More than 275 empty shoeboxes
will be packed from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, November 5, thanks to the Goodyear Police Department and Wildflower Bread Company. The gifts will be sent by Operation Christmas Child to children affected by war, disease, disaster, poverty and famine. To RSVP or donate to the event, email nwebb2@cox.net. Wildflower and the Goodyear Police hope the party will generate 275 boxes, contributing to the expected 15,600 shoebox gifts collected this year in the West Valley. In addition to the packing of donated items into the shoeboxes, the event will feature McGruff, the Goodyear Police mascot. “We rely on donations entirely to ship out shoeboxes,” she said. “Each box costs approximately $9 to ship.” Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization headed by Franklin Graham. Operation Christmas Child’s mission is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Since 1993,

Operation Christmas Child has collected and delivered more than 146 million gift-filled shoeboxes to children in more than 160 countries and territories. Widomski has worked for the initiative for four years, and she loves what she does. “Knowing that I am being the hands and feet of Jesus to get these kids a gift and an opportunity to hear the gospel is what drives me to volunteer yearround,” Widomski said. Last year, the West Valley team filled 15,075 boxes for the children, and the U.S. packed more than 8 million boxes, according to Widomski. Each box goes through a quality assurance check. The boxes are collected the week before Thanksgiving and delivered to processing centers. “They can be delivered by boat, plane, train, canoe and even camels— whatever it takes,” she said. Widomski takes pride in her work and in knowing she is bettering children’s
Christmas across the globe. Operation Christmas Child delivers more than toys and clothes. “After the child receives the box, they are invited to do a 12-week discipleship program called The Greatest Journey, where they get to learn about the God, Jesus and the Bible in their own language at their level,” she said. Widomski said the point is to introduce children to the true meaning of Christmas. “The hope is during or after The Greatest Journey the child will accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior,” said Widomski. The volunteers who work with Widomski are crucial to the execution of the operation. “We are all volunteers who love the Lord and want to ensure that the gospel of Jesus reaches those children who are in desperate need,” she said.

The event is free and open to the public. Ramsey penned the book The Hugs on My Shirt.

“Tim is an inspiration to his students and to the entire school,” said Rod Henkel, Westwind’s principal. “He gives his best each day and students feel the importance of writing due to Tim’s passion and commitment. We are honored to have him as part of our staff and his radiance shines through his students, our faculty, our families and the community we serve. We are so proud of his accomplishments.” On September 23, Ramsey was honored by the Arizona English Teachers Association.

Avondale hosts third Time Travelers’ Youth Summit
By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Kids at Hope, in partnership with the city of Avondale, will host the third annual Time Travelers’ Youth Summit Tuesday, November 7. The program for students in grades 6-8 engages youth in the concept of mental time travel. They think about their future in four destinations—home and family, hobbies and recreation, education and career, and community and service. The four destinations are used to educate and empower. The attendees will learn about the concepts of mental time travel and empower them to share their knowledge with others. This is achieved through a series of interactive experiences. This year, the summit welcomes keynote speaker Dr. Erika Camacho. Born in Mexico, Camacho moved to east Los Angeles and attended Garfield High School where she was a student of teacher Jaime Escalante, who was portrayed in the film Stand and Deliver. Camacho is a professor of applied mathematics at ASU. Activities will be led by Spencer
Gorin, an internationally known presenter. Using his Healthy Play techniques, Gorin will present the concepts of mental time travel. The event is from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, November 7, at Estrella Mountain Community College, 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale. Schools throughout the Avondale and the Southwest Valley with youth in grades 6-8 were invited to select six students (and chaperone) to attend this event. The experience is limited, and those school teams in attendance are expected to share what they learn at their campuses. With more than 23 schools involved and 160 students in attendance, it is estimated that over 11,000 students were impacted by the followthrough of the attending teams from last year. Pre-registration for schools involved are required for participation. For more information about the Time Travelers’ Youth Summit, contact Kids at Hope, Kenna Hough at kenna@kidsathope. org or 602-674-0026.
