Palm Valley principal named Administrator of the Year BY LAUREN SERRATO
West Valley View Staff Writer
T
he Arizona Association of School Psychologists has named Palm Valley Elementary School Principal Jennifer Benjamin as its 2021 Administrator of the Year. In her eight-year tenure as the principal of Palm Valley Elementary School, Benjamin has led her Thunderbird school family to the honor of being named a two-time A+ School of Excellence and a National Blue Ribbon School. Despite the success she’s achieved in her time as principal, Benjamin admitted the award was a shock. “I had actually gotten a phone call from the psychologist who was announcing it, and I was checking to see if there was a new student coming. An award was the furthest thing from my mind,” she said. “So, when they shared that I had been nominated and that I won, I was honored, humbled and definitely had some tears. It’s
pretty amazing.” Shelly Smith Hornback, director of community relations with the Litchfield Elementary School District, deemed Benjamin a beloved school leader who is widely lauded for her teamwork, educational expertise, and keen ability to foster a strong school family. As principal, Benjamin said one of her most important characteristics as a leader is to ensure the campus has a strong sense of camaraderie. “It’s all about building the school family,” Benjamin said. “We have a very tightknit group of teachers and staff and parents that have made this happen. And just making sure that everybody’s voices are heard and everybody feels included and supported. When they feel valued, they work hard, and we work hard and we play hard.” As a former special education teacher, Benjamin is an advocate for Inclusion

T
he city of Buckeye has selected John “Jake” Kent Rhoades Jr. as the new fire chief. Rhoades has more than 29 years of progressive experience in fire and emergency management, most recently as fire chief for the city of Kingman. He also held administrative fire positions in Arkan-
sas and Oklahoma. After serving a population of 32,463 in Kingman, Rhoades said he’s excited to take over as fire chief in a rapidly growing city of 90,182 people. “It’s a tremendous opportunity for me, both professionally and personally,” Rhoades said. “From a professional standpoint, being
able to join the team in Buckeye, a very well-known department, they have a lot going for them, but so does the entire city of Buckeye. So being a part of that, professionally, is very exciting as a fire chief, and being able to plan and see what the future has in store for the city.

Honor...continued from page 1 Revolution, an innovative program that fosters the academic and social-emotional growth of students with special needs by having them spend part of their day in general education classrooms. “Inclusion Revolution is where students become tutors. So second graders, third, fourth and fifth graders have the option to do that and our school psychologist does some training with them. And when we started Inclusion Revolution, it was a complete culture shift, which was absolutely amazing. We started seeing general ed and special ed students becoming friends, building relationships, understanding that empathy and compassion which wasn’t always there for each other,” Benjamin said. Palm Valley Elementary also houses the SAILS program (Social, Academic, Inclusion and Life Skills), where general education students gain empathy, leadership skills and new friendships by serving as peer tutors to students with special needs. “Special ed has been near and dear to my heart since I was in middle school,” she said. “I was a peer tutor myself and fell in love with a self-contained classroom and working with a teacher and knew that was a passion for me and a life’s goal.” After going to college initially to become a special education teacher and then switching to general education after a mentor saw her leadership po-
NEWS tential, Benjamin still continued to be an advocate. Throughout her career, Benjamin has served as a teaching resource for special education, a self-contained teacher for autism and as a special education instructional coach for the district, as well as director of the White Tanks Learning Center, before becoming principal at Palm Valley. “I feel like all of those things have prepared me to be able to lead highly successful generalist students with a lot of rigor and helping us get to that National Blue Ribbon along with that special ed piece to make sure that we have that culture and climate through Inclusion Revolution,” she said. While Benjamin said she’s excited about the award, she admitted above all she’s thrilled to have students back on campus and learning in a classroom environment as opposed to behind a computer screen. “I’m so thankful to have kids in hallways, teachers in classrooms,” she said. “It has not been an easy year coming back, but it has definitely filled our hearts and our buckets. There’s a lot of things that we’re still working through. It’s
been difficult to maneuver some of the changes and keeping everybody healthy. But we have been so blessed that we’ve been able to do that and that kids are in classrooms and desks and learning from a teacher right in front of them.” As November is already underway and the end of the year is approaching, Benjamin said she looks forward to the activities on campus that come with the holidays and returning to a sense of normalcy. “We’re going to be doing the turkey trot, and it’s just having some of those events coming up that makes it feel like maybe we’re hopefully getting past COVID but just having some of those normal activities coming up like our holiday nights and we just finished our trunk or treat,” Benjamin said. “These are things that kids remember about school. They don’t remember the specific standards that they were working on or learning. They remember those moments and those events, so I’m excited to have those things back and gearing up for some of those big things in the next few months.” Benjamin was honored at a luncheon in Phoenix on Nov. 5.

One is a firefighter down at Northwest Fire District, and that’s where my grandson of about eight months is. Also, my youngest son is a senior at ASU. Being closer to family is very important.” Rhoades brings a lifelong passion for fire service and diverse experience focusing on continuous improvements in response and community service. His recent achievements in Kingman include accreditation status with the Commission of Fire Accreditation International and reducing the Insurance Service Office (ISO) rating from a 4 to 1. “My goals for the Buckeye Fire and Medical Rescue Department are to continue and support the excellent work achieved by staff under the leadership of Bob Costello,” Rhoades said about the late fire chief he succeeds. “Through strategic planning and building collaborative relationships with the community, region and other city departments, I look forward to serving the city of Buckeye as it continues to grow.”

Rhoades has a master’s degree in business administration from Columbia University, a master’s in executive fire service leadership from Grand Canyon University, a bachelor’s degree in physical education from Oklahoma Christian University, and became a certified public manager through ASU. He is also a member of numerous professional fire and public safety organizations, including the International, Western and Arizona fire chiefs associations, the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials, and the International Society of Fire Service Instructors.

Many WV school districts’ funding requests rejected in override BY LAUREN SERRATO
West Valley View Staff Writer
T
wenty-one school districts in Maricopa County recently asked voters to OK school funding measures totaling more than $500 million. But voters only approved about half of the requests in the Nov. 2 election. In the West Valley, a vast majority of school districts on the ballot failed to get their funding measures approved, with only two of seven receiving a “yes” from voters. Overrides allow a school district to increase their maintenance and operations budget up to 15%, while bonds provide a certain amount of money for set projects within the district. Both affect local property taxes. Override funds could be used toward tutoring, intervention, instruction programs or all-day kindergarten. Bonds could be used for creating new classrooms, school buildings or overall improvements. Districts receiving a “no” vote to budget override continuations or bond issues means that as their funding runs out, they will have to consider making cuts or trying voters again during the next election.
Here are the outcomes of the West Valley school districts and what their respective superintendent or city representatives had to say about the measures.
Agua Fria Union High School District Failed The Agua Fria Union High School District looked to renew its 15% maintenance and operations override. According to the voters’ informational pamphlet, the funds would have been used for programs, summer school, transportation, class sizes, teacher salaries and teacher recruitment. The continuation cost to the average homeowner in the district is approximately $104 per year. “The budget for this year has been approved by the board and this election does not impact local revenue for this fiscal year. However, state law requires that we step down the override funding by a third each year for three years if the override is not renewed by November 2022,” Mark Yslas, AFUHSD superintendent, wrote in a letter to the commu-
nity. “In due course, we believe it is important to begin the conversation of what the potential loss of revenues might look like in the coming years. “The financial impact of this override defeat is not immediate, but the fiscal implications of a potential three-year budget reduction of these revenues are important to discuss. While we begin to process how this potential loss of revenue might impact the district, we remain committed to listening, learning and developing relationships with the greater community, engaging parents in the educational process, and expressing our commitment of sound fiscal practices and management to our taxpayers.”
Buckeye Union High School District Failed Buckeye Union High School District sought a continuation of its 10% maintenance and operations override.

ular activities and staff development. The continuation cost to the average homeowner in the district is approximately $52.84 per year. Eric Orsborn, mayor of Buckeye, was quoted in the pamphlet in favor of the continuation. “With this rapid growth, we also need to make sure that our local schools can keep up with attracting and retaining quality teachers. If we want to continue to attract the best and the brightest teachers, we must continue to invest in our schools. Buckeye is committed to quality education — from K-12 to increasing our focus on secondary education. I support the maintenance and operations override for the Buckeye Union High School District. Every level and type of education needs the investment and commitment necessary to succeed,” he said.

According to the voters’ informational pamphlet, funds would have been used to continue current programs, maintain present levels of service, and attract and retain teachers. The continuation cost to the average homeowner in the district is approximately $139 per year. Sen. Lisa Otondo and Rep. Joel John, both of Legislative District 4, were among those listed in support of the override continuation. “As the fastest-growing city in the country, providing safe schools for its community, employing effective teachers and offering extracurricular activities is something the citizens in Buckeye are proud of. Our return on investment is worth maintaining,” John said.
Tolleson Union High School District Passed The Tolleson Union High School District received a “yes” from voters on its $125 million bond request. According to the voters’ informational pamphlet, the funds will be used for school safety and security, building maintenance, energy efficient systems, building construction, technology, furniture and equipment, transportation, vehicles and grounds improvements. The cost to the owner of a typical home with an assessed value of $250,000 is estimated to be $58 per year. “I am always amazed at the support that the Tolleson community receives when it comes to education, whether it be an override or, as in this case, a bond election. We are in the great position we are in because of the voters in Tolleson, Avondale, Phoenix and Glendale. I can’t think of a more supportive community in my 37 years in education,” Superintendent Nora Gutierrez said. “The response from the voters at the ballot box is confirmation that they want us to continue maintaining the facilities for our students to the highest standards,” Chief Financial Officer Jeremy Calles added. “Our community knows that our kids are just as deserving of a high-quality facility and a memorable high school experience as any other student in this state. They have entrusted us to ensure that this happens, and we won’t let them down. We will continue to raise all of our schools to the standard that we set
with West Point High School. “We are also in the early stages of planning for the newest high school on Dysart and Broadway. We appreciate any help that we can continue to receive from the state, but we are very grateful that here in our community we know how to take care of our own.”
Great things are happening here
Liberty Elementary School District Failed Liberty Elementary School District sought a renewal of its 10% maintenance and operations override. According to the voters’ informational pamphlet, the funds would have been used for student achievement, small class sizes, music, art, physical education, recruiting and retaining quality teachers, maintaining full-day kindergarten, and after-school sports and clubs. The continuation cost to the average homeowner in the district is approximately $126.19 per year. “Unfortunately, this will mean some difficult decisions will be required in the months to come,” Superintendent Dr. Lori Shough said. “Our override provided essential funding for important programs for children such as art, music and physical education, as well as after-school sports. The override has also helped to keep class sizes smaller. We will be bringing together key groups within the district to decide how we proceed with less funding down the road.”

Hickman: A year after 2020 elections, threats still coming in BY GENESIS SANDOVAL Cronkite News
I
t’s been a year since the 2020 election, but Maricopa County Supervisor Clint Hickman said he continues to get threats for his part in certifying the election. “We’ve been at this for a year, and it’s difficult,” Hickman said during a Washington Post Live forum on the aftermath of the Jan. 6 riots. Hickman said the anger began election night and escalated after Jan. 6, when he arrived home to find police guarding his house. Besides the personal impact, he said the abuse is beginning to take its toll on election workers who are quitting because they “don’t want to take the abuse, and they want to stand down.” “That’s the problem I’m seeing with public service,” Hickman said. “We are losing competent election workers across the United States because they just can’t take the threats.” That reaction is not surprising, said Keith Allred, executive director for the
National Institute for Civil Discourse at the University of Arizona. “Most people aren’t going to want to deal with death threats when they’re just doing their job,” Allred said. “When it turns to not only being ugly speech but threats of violence and actual violence, what reasonable person isn’t going to consider that? It’s going to make it harder for good people to think about public service.” Allred said threats like those leveled at Hickman and other county and state officials have never been an effective way to spread a message or change minds, and never will. “You’re going to hurt your own cause and your own message by threatening violence. That never has worked in a republic; it can’t ever work,” he said. “You’re going to turn people away more than attract people to your side. For no other reason, it’s just not practical to engage in those kinds of threats of violence,” Allred said. Hickman said he started getting
phone calls from voters as he was watching returns come in on election night. What started as “just education questions” from voters about a different style of Maricopa County ballot turned into “full-fledged fury that night” when Fox News called Arizona for President Joe Biden, he said. Hickman served as board chairman last year and said he was relieved to hand over the reins this year to current Chairman Jack Sellers, after a year grappling with an election and the COVID-19 pandemic. When Jan. 6 came, he said, he was relieved he was not still chairman. “We had so many different things to think about, and I was just beat. I was exhausted,” Hickman said. “I knew that we had a new chairman coming in, and I just felt a little bit of relief driving in, that instead of my hand being on the tip of the spear, it was going to be on the shield with my other guys. “I felt really good driving home until I saw the protection unit at my house,” he said. He said the police that night advised him and his family not to stay at their home, which he agreed to do after seeing how police units elsewhere were becoming targets. Donell Harvin, former director of intelligence at the D.C. Office of Homeland Security, said he warned other federal law enforcement agencies about the possibility of violence

on Jan. 6. Harvin, who was part of the panel, praised the response of officials like Hickman to the violence. “One of the lessons that I learned on Jan. 6 is that if it weren’t for people like Clint, we would not live in a democracy,” said Harvin, who is now a senior policy researcher at RAND Corp. “People like Clint, civil servants, who show up and do this very difficult work, with at times personal expense to their own safety, really define what a democracy is in the rule of law.” But Hickman said others in public service should not have to deal with the threats he has, no matter their political ideology. “I’ll do it gladly and take the threats for them so I can keep good, solid people working in those departments doing their civic duties. Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, I’m going to do my best,” said Hickman, a Republican. More than once, he mentioned putting political party differences aside, a position Allred said most people agree with. “The vast majority of Americans still believe that we should put country ahead of party and that we should not resort to violence to resolve our differences,” Allred said. Hickman ended the forum with an appeal to “become Americans again.” “We are Americans first,” he said. “I have a son who’s 16 and another who’s 14. I don’t want to send my son off to war to fight some foreign enemy to feel like an American again, and I damn sure don’t want him fighting fellow Americans to prove just how American he is. It’s just not the way to go.” For more stories from Cronkite News, visit cronkitenews.azpbs.org.

The center’s newest project was recently finalized, when the city of Goodyear approved zoning for a 284unit garden-style apartment community that will serve as a multihousing opportunity. “The apartment or multifamily that is being developed, they have an amenity base that almost no other apartments will have in Goodyear because their walkability, the shops, restaurants and different things, Target included, is unmatched by another multifamily,” said Paul Sharp, senior vice president at TriGate Capital. “We’re providing something in this community that really hasn’t been there before. And then overall, as those things feed off each other and they create more
vibrancy, then more retailers and more services will want to come to the center. And I think therein lies how it benefits the greater community, because eventually we’ll be providing an even better product and even more services.” This residential component will be developed by San Antonio-based Embrey Partners. This development within Canyon Trails Towne Center is on 13 acres that was originally planned for a Home Depot store. After Home Depot decided not to build its store during the Great Recession, TriGate purchased the property from Home Depot and set the wheels in motion to create a mixed-use project. Looking at Canyon Trails Towne Center today, it’s clear that it’s found success with the various large-name retailers, restaurants and amenities on the property. However, this wasn’t always the case. In 2013, the 90-acre shopping center located at Yuma Road and Cotton Lane in Goodyear was struggling to attract new tenants after the Great Recession.

At the time, two key retailers had left the center and the project was facing an uncertain future. However, TriGate Capital, a Texas-based real estate investment manager with more than $2 billion in assets focused on the recapitalization and repositioning of real estate across the country, saw potential in the project. According to Sharp, the company recognized the center’s inherent longterm value in a growing market and was willing to take a chance on Canyon Trails Towne Center. “At the time we bought this center, we owned around 11 or 12 other shopping centers within the Valley, the greater Phoenix area, so we had quite a large presence there. And we saw this as a great opportunity,” Sharp said. “We liked the quality of the infrastructure. We knew eventually that Cotton Lane or the 303 would be tied into the 10, which would totally open this whole region up south of the 10. So, we really saw it as an opportunity to try to solidify some of the tendency while we could and wait for the connectivity of the 303. And when those things started to happen, then we started to see more demand.” After purchasing the property in 2013, TriGate began repositioning Canyon Trails into a multifaceted center that would not only be great for retail but also provide mixed-use opportunities with much-needed housing to the area. Eight years later, the project has seen major growth and continues to attract new revitalization opportunities. “Working with the city of Goodyear in repurposing and transforming Canyon Trails Towne Center has been a team effort. The addition of multifamily by Embrey Partners is another milestone, and TriGate Capital will continue to work with the city of Goodyear to cement Canyon Trails Towne Center as a destination in the West Valley,” Sharp said. Leasing activity at the center has been robust in recent months. Among the center’s list of current tenants are Target, Pottery Barn Outlet, Ross, PetSmart, Orangetheory, Club Pilates and Planet Fitness. Recent lease signings include
Wingstop and Tropical Smoothie Cafe. And there are more than half a dozen new restaurants, all national brands, in the planning stages with the city that will open in 2022. David Malin, former vice president of development and acquisitions with Vestar and now CEO of Scottsdale Development Partners, has been a development consultant on the project since 2019. He said the 90-acre center is now repositioned for the massive influx of new residents and opportunities coming to Goodyear and the West Valley. “Canyon Trails is one of the great retail comeback stories of the past few years. Before TriGate stepped in, there were major issues. The center needed an experienced owner with a long-term business plan that would attract new tenants,” Malin said. “What TriGate has been able to accomplish, having the staying power to weather the storm, adding so many new retailers and now creating a mixed-use project with the addition of the multifamily component, speaks volumes, and we are so happy to give this community the type of project it deserves. The comeback is not only a story for this property and Goodyear, but it speaks to great momentum in the entire West Valley.” While Sharp acknowledged the success Canyon Trails Towne Center has seen, he added that there is more in the works to come as TriGate still has land to develop. “Who’s not to say that there’s some other services that we’ll see the demand for that’ll serve the greater community,” Sharp said. “Eventually when this is built out and whether that’s adding a hotel, which can be developed there, a specialty grocer to complement a Target, perhaps an entertainment use. All of these suburbs always wanted to have a shopping center with an urban feel. And I think eventually, this shopping center will become that, because it’ll be mixed use and it’ll have multifamily, it’ll have retail, it’ll have food, it’ll have entertainment, potentially hotel. It’ll be like its own little self-serving community within the community, and I think that’s really unique.”

The cost to the average homeowner in the district is approximately $114.15 per year. “The passage of the bond election will allow the district to continue having a positive impact in our communities. It will allow the district to continue improving the learning environments, which helps us provide an exceptional education for our students,” said Dr. Shelmon Brown, the district’s chief academic officer. “We are grateful to our voters for their continuous support and confidence.

Community colleges implementing 4-year programs BY NICOLE DAY
West Valley View Contributing Writer
C
ommunity Colleges across the state celebrated a great win when the Senate passed SB 1453 on May 5, allowing community colleges to offer four-year degrees. On Nov. 3, the Maricopa Community Colleges Office of the Interim Chancellor released a statement saying that the Chancellor’s Executive Council has identified, and the governing board supports, Maricopa County Community College District’s first bachelor’s degrees and now it has started developing the curriculums to implement into the college programs. The bachelor’s degrees include programming and data analytics (Mesa Community College), information technology (Estrella Mountain Community and Phoenix colleges), public safety administration (Phoenix and Rio Salado Community colleges), behavioral health science (South Mountain Community College), and nuclear medicine technol-

special education (Glendale, Paradise Valley and Rio Salado community colleges). “This is a historic legislation for the state of Arizona. We’ve been pursuing this for 25 years. Community colleges are open access. Adding this four-year degree to our plate just is an enhancement for the community,” said Matt Hasson, the Maricopa Community College District spokesperson. “I shared an article on SB 1453 when Gov. Doug Ducey approved the fouryear degrees to help get the word out,” said Morgan Hunter, an Estrella Mountain Community College nursing student. “Twenty-three states already offer this; it’s time Arizona is on board with it as well.” Community colleges have been pushing the Legislature for years. The new legislation will help students overcome some of the barriers they face to attend community colleges. “The SB 1453 legislation will help reduce some of the barriers our students face. Offering bachelor’s degrees at the 10 Maricopa community colleges will help save students money and provide the convenience of in-person education close to home,” said Dr. Rey Rivera, Estrella Mountain Community College president, in a prepared statement. “Culturally, I find community colleges, and Maricopa community colleges in particular, much richer and more diverse,” said David J. Ortiz-Leon, a Phoenix College
alumnus who now attends Arizona State University’s Barrett the Honors College. “I think having schools offer four-year programs allows for students to continue to be immersed in education that is built by and for the local community. There is nothing more authentic than that.” Sen. Paul Boyer (R-Glendale), who sponsored this bill, said the new law will help rural, underserved parts of the state with higher education. In his research, he reached out to community colleges in rural areas and developed a vision for what higher education they could offer. “What I envision moving forward is having a community college close by with an in-demand four-year degree program. I envision there might be an eastern Arizona or a Coconino college, one of the rural (areas) that have a significant demand where they wouldn’t have to move to Phoenix, Tucson or Flagstaff and they can earn a four-year (degree),” Boyer said. Rivera firmly believes that SB 1453 presents another opportunity to address equity gaps in attainment with students from diverse backgrounds. “Today, only 21% of Black and 15% of Latino adults hold a bachelor’s degree compared to 34% of white and 54% of Asian adults,” he said. “The vitality of our economic future depends on closing attainment gaps and providing the workforce employers need.” With the programs that are being offered, there is hope for a better workforce with the knowledge that students will gain in these four-year programs. “I think everyone wants a higher education and society wants a skilled workforce. This is helping to achieve just that,” Hunter said. Boyer, who has experience in education and who is a product of the community college system, having attended Pima and Paradise Valley community colleges, has a unique point of view that he shares with his students, whom he has been teaching for years. “I understand that college isn’t for everybody, but I encourage my students to at least consider going to a community college,” Boyer said. As a student, Boyer had to pay for school by working full time. This is not uncommon among students who attend

college and a reason why being able to obtain a four-year degree at a community college is much more valuable. “Even though I am less than half a mile from the school, my work schedule does not allow for me to be a traditional in-class student. I take classes when and where I can make them fit. For me, that’s nights and even weekends,” Hunter said. Boyer said one possible way this bill would help is by offering fire science degrees in rural areas where they are most needed. “None of the public universities offer the four-year fire science service degree — Northern Arizona University, University of Arizona and Arizona State University, none of them offer that — but there is a demand for this,” Boyer said. Another example of an in-demand degree that will be offered is a respiratory therapy four-year degree at Gateway Community College. Since the passing of the bill, the Maricopa Community College District has been nothing but persistent in making sure this is a success and the programs envisioned are considered. “We are in the process of developing the programs and in the process of deter-
mining what the community needs where we can have the most impact and curriculum around those degrees,” Hasson said. “Once all of that is done, we have to have the higher-learning commission approve all of the degree plans and curriculum.” The four-year degrees being offered at community colleges will be more affordable than the alternative of going to a four-year university. However, the degrees will be limited due to some concessions that were made while debating the bill in the Senate. Community colleges can only offer 5% of the current degrees offered as fouryear degrees for the first five years. After the first five years, community colleges can offer 10% of the current degrees offered as four-year degrees, according to SB 1453 legislative bill. Even though there had to be some concessions to pass the bill in the Senate, the degrees being more affordable is still attractive to students across the state. “Community colleges offering fouryear degrees makes education more affordable for individuals who, like myself, have children and a home to maintain,” said Cordero Holmes, a Rio Salado Community College student who

will graduate in the spring with two associate’s degrees. “The terror of having to pay for school is lessened because I can now use the credentials attained to better my job placement while continuing my educations a lesser cost.” In fall 2023, community colleges can start enrolling students into the four-year programs. “We have some incredible people on that team doing the hard work to develop these degrees and curriculum and these
policy changes, and we are excited,” Hasson said. “I think this is a huge step forward for the district, and students as well. Even if this makes it easier for one student, that is one student who achieved a higher education made possible by these changes,” Hunter said. Boyer said now that the Legislature has acted, it will be up to the community colleges to deliver a quality education to students who need it most.

Baseball, politics are our pastimes BY J.D. HAYWORTH
West Valley View Columnist
W
hoever thinks there is no divine sense of humor may want to reconsider — especially after the latest occurrence of “the first Tuesday following the first Monday in November.” In other words, Election Day 2021 or, as it will forever be known in Atlanta, “World Champions Day.” With an ethereal sense of timing, politics and the national pastime again collided. And in this instance, the “Home of the Braves” prevailed. The inaugural iteration of this column chronicled a rhetorical baseball “beaning” of the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia, which left both seeing stars — but not all-stars. Opening Day brought a verbal brickbat, delivered by the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue via ESPN, which apparently now stands for Expect Sports Politicized Nonstop. Sure enough, Joe Biden — though old, slow and confused — apparently possessed enough verbal and muscle memory to use a “woke weapon.” During his ESPN interview, Joe attacked Georgia’s election reform law, calling it an “atrocity” and “Jim Crow on steroids.” He ignored the fact that the new statute expands early voting to 17 days statewide and gives counties the option to add two Sundays of voting for a total of 19 days of casting early ballots. Never mind that Biden’s home state of Delaware provides no days for ear-
ly balloting — the fictitious flames, fanned by ESPN, other outlets within the partisan press and, of course, the White House, soon stoked a “woke fire.” Ol’ Joe then chimed in with his “remedy” of preference: Major League Baseball (MLB) should move the AllStar Game out of the Peach State. Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred — no “Mighty Manfred,” he — morphed into “Rollover Rob” and hastily did Biden’s bidding, with the specious claim that moving the AllStar Game from Atlanta to Denver was the “best way to demonstrate our values as a sport.” If so, it was a curious way to demonstrate a commitment to racial justice. When the All-Star Game exited Atlanta, a city with a population that’s 51% Black and historically known as a center of Black commerce, the economic loss was estimated at $100 million. While MLB placed a higher value on virtue signaling than genuine support of a “majority minority city,” it’s worth noting that “corporate COVID” also infected Atlanta-based businesses. Both Coca-Cola and Delta Airlines succumbed to the virtue virus, denounced the Georgia election reforms, and were apparently fine with the loss of the All-Star Game. But an interesting thing happened in Atlanta. The Braves discovered a vaccine for virtue signaling: victory. Proving that the late, great catcher-turned-author-turned-broadcaster Joe Garagiola was right when he titled his book “Baseball is a Funny Game,” the Braves had the last laugh. Defying the odds, and their own winloss record, the Braves finally moved

above .500 for good on Aug. 6, then finished the regular season with 88 wins and 73 defeats. In the post-season, Atlanta outmuscled Milwaukee, leaving the Brewers crying in their beer. They found unlikely star power to defeat the Dodgers and brought the Astros back to earth, winning the World Series four games to two. The series finale in Houston was especially impressive, as the Braves shut out the Astros, 7-0. “Shut out” also accurately describes the policy triumphs of the Biden administration in its first year. Simply stated, there are none. An illegal invasion. A shameful abandonment of Americans in Afghanistan. Runaway inflation. Crippled supply lines. Radical school boards and leftist politicians denying parental authority, replacing education with indoctrination. That last disturbing development prompted a political upset as unlikely as the Braves’ World Championship —
and it occurred the same night. Deep-blue Virginia, dependably Democrat, elected a Republican governor. Glenn Youngkin, who went from underdog to governor-elect, described his victory as a triumph of everyday Virginians, based on fundamental principles — and a rejection of radicalism. With the congressional midterms and more gubernatorial elections slated for November 2022, Republican hopefuls are shouting, “Wait ’til next year!” Political aspirants, whatever their partisan label, would do well to remember that electioneering is not a game. But it is a competition, and with America poised to awaken from its “wokeness,” voters may be inspired by a spark of the “divine.” As in “The Divine Comedy.” J.D. Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. House from 1995-2007. He authored and sponsored the Enforcement First Act, legislation that would have mandated enforcement of Federal Immigration Law in the 109th Congress.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Public needs congressional protection
Editor: The COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause distress for parents across Arizona and the globe. How do I protect my children? Do I send them to school? What about the vaccine? Having to worry about more than my own health during such an uncertain time has been absolutely terrifying and very overwhelming. It is concerning to hear that some proposed policies in Washington, D.C., could threaten access to medication for patients. Creating lower health care costs is important, but the problem lies in how Congress is attempting to do it. By implementing government price-setting policies like Medicare negotiation, Washington politicians could threaten
which medications doctors can prescribe and patients can access. In countries like Canada and Germany that have similar laws, patients have access to fewer medications and are subject to longer wait times for treatments. I hope that Congress protects everyone’s access to medication and rejects the Medicare changes under consideration. Emily Ramos

ll wars have stories, and if truth be told, the United States has been a warrior nation for its entire history. The Smithsonian National Museum of American History had a superb exhibit about America at War. It began in the 18th century with the French and Indian War followed by the American Revolution. The 19th century had the War of 1812, the Mexican American War, the Civil War and the Spanish American War. The 20th century had two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam and the first Gulf War. The current century is continuing our historical pattern with Iraq and Afghanistan. My war was Vietnam. I entered active duty in July 1963 and retired from Luke AFB 22 years later. This isn’t my story but rather the story of my friend, Bruce Farrell. It was July 1961 and I had left the East Coast for San Francisco and an internship at San Francisco
General Hospital, joining 59 other new medical school graduates. Bruce was one of the group. Six of us, including Bruce, decided that living in the Spartan quarters at the hospital wasn’t the answer to our dreams, so we teamed up and rented an apartment on Twin Peaks. The apartment only had four beds, but that didn’t matter, since we were on call every other night for the year. Shortly after the start of our internship, four of us got our letters from Selective Service inviting us to “volunteer” for a commission in the service of our choice. The threat was that if we didn’t volunteer and enter as a captain, we would be drafted as a private. One of the gang of six had served an ROTC commitment after college, and Jim became our mentor. The sixth man had a medical condition that left him ineligible. These letters led to a lot of discussion, but only Bruce knew exactly what he wanted. Finish the internship, join the

Navy and go to Pensacola to become a Navy flight surgeon assigned to the Marines. He got what he wanted, and in July 1962, he joined the Navy. I stayed in San Francisco for another year of surgical training, entered the Air Force and went directly to Turkey. That was a transition! In early October 1963, I was reading the Stars and Stripes and a story about a place I was hearing about called Vietnam caught my attention. Two Marine choppers had been shot down outside of Da Nang near the Laotian border with the loss of 12 personnel. Bruce’s name jumped off the page as though it was lit up in neon lights. The loss of nine Marines and a three-man Navy medical team was the largest loss of American lives in the war to that point in time. Bruce’s name is the 130th on the Vietnam Wall. There would be 58,000 more names to follow. Bruce was the first physician and first native of Cleveland to die in that war. The rest of the story: On Nov. 22, 1963, Bruce’s mother received a letter of condolence signed by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. That afternoon she heard the news that the president
had been assassinated in Dallas. Bruce was one of seven children. In the years following his death, three of his sisters gave birth to boys. They all named their sons Bruce. I landed at Da Nang on Labor Day, 1965. The next time you are in Washington, go to the Vietnam Wall and Arlington National Cemetery and Bruce Farrell in Vietnam in 1963.

APS, city hosting electric vehicle event WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | NOVEMBER 10, 2021
BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF
A
PS and the city of Avondale will give local drivers the chance to check out and test drive the latest and most popular electric car models. The free, family-friendly Electric Guest Car Drive event will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, and Sunday, Nov. 14, at the Avondale Park-and-Ride, 11390 W. Dale Earnhardt Drive, Avondale. Drivers looking to make the switch from gas-powered cars to electric vehicles can ask EV owners questions about car technology and affordability and learn from vehicle experts in a stress-free way. “When I was getting ready to switch to an electric vehicle, I had all kinds of questions,” said Danae Presler, Avondale sustainability officer. “This event offers a no-pressure way to learn more about EVs from people that own and drive them, and to test out different makes and models, all in one convenient location.” Educational representatives will be available to discuss charging equipment
and how to conveniently power up electric cars at home, at work and in public. “There are many advantages to driving an electric car that can benefit your wallet, lifestyle and the environment — from reduced maintenance costs, to no oil changes, to the big impact these vehicles can have in reducing carbon emissions,” said Judson Tillinghast, APS leader of customer technology. “More electric cars are expected to be on Arizona’s roads over the next 10 years, and APS has a goal of supporting the adoption of 450,000 EVs in our service territory by 2030. We want to connect drivers with the resources and information they need to make the transition to electric vehicles.” To register for the Electric Guest Car Drive event, reserve a drive time and learn more about event health and safety protocols, visit aps.evnavigator.com/ avondale.html. For safety, drivers are required to show proof of being fully vaccinated and wear a mask during the test drive.

Tolleson’s new track, field for the community BY KAYLA SINGLETON

he Tolleson Union School District is making it a priority to revitalize the 94-year-old Tolleson High School. Along with a new science building, media center, and performing and visual arts center, Tolleson High School’s new track and field was completed earlier this school year. “The first step for any bond project is to get approval from the district’s voters. In order to do that, TUHSD needed to pass a bond that would provide the funding for these proposed projects. The track and field project at Tolleson Union High School was then approved to move forward by the TUHSD Governing Board,” said Joseph Ortiz, director of public relations and marketing at TUHSD. The original Synthetic Turf Track & Field contract proposed by Wholesale Floors LLC had a base budget of almost $2.4 million, as presented in the district governing board agenda. At the Feb. 23 board meeting, the contract with Wholesale Floors was reviewed and approved with a 5-0 vote. In the same board meeting, Westview High School in the Tolleson Union School District was also approved for a similar project contracted by Wholesale Floors. The details of the budget proposal included drainage systems, athletic equipment such as goal posts and soccer nets, a synthetic running track surface and a synthetic turf field, along with options for LED sports lighting, a new scoreboard, press box and asphaltic concrete

paving. The final cost of the project was just over $3.4 million and took roughly six months to complete. Construction began on April 1, and starting March 31, the student-athletes participating in spring sports were no longer able to practice at their home field. Instead, they utilized the facilities at La Joya Community High School in Avondale. “The football field was donated after the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks played here (in Arizona), Super Bowl XLIV,” Tolleson athletic director Ray Perkins said. “It was a great field, just the grass was grown in Georgia and so you need to have moisture, you need to have humidity for it to be premium, so it was time for another field.” However, the field was not completed in enough time for the start of the 2021 football season. The Wolverines had to play their first two games of the season away. The field’s inaugural game was Tolleson’s homecoming on Sept. 24. Its first game on the new field also marked a change in the course of Tolleson’s season. Previous to their homecoming game, the Wolverines had lost all three of their games. Since then, they are now on a five-game winning streak. With a school that has as long of a history as Tolleson, opened in 1927, the need for improvements and renovation becomes inevitable. “The community deserves something new. Our community deserves something like this,” Perkins said.

Catherine (Pfaffenroth) Irmer was born in Omro, Wisconson on Feb. 2nd, 1021 and was called to her eternal home on August 11, 2021. Catherine was the 6th of fourteen children born to John and Katherine. She was preceded in death by her husband ATJ Irmer, her parents, three brothers, six sisters and her oldest grandson John. Catherine is survived by two sisters, two brothers, her children Louise(Darrell, John(Cristy), Larry (Chris), and REI, seven grandchildren, five great grands and three great great grands. Catherine moved with her family to Arizona in 1959 when her husband accepted and call to start a Lutheran mission in Maryvale Park. She was a charter member St Paul Lutheran Church and attended regularly until the week before her death. Catherine worked for the Cartwright School District for 20 year and retired in 1985. She loved to crochet and made hundreds of afghans and lap robes for the VA over many years. Catherine also loved to paint with oils and those who are luck to own one of her painting feel blessed. Catherine loved to travel and was able to see many world sites during she and Art's retirement. In 2004 She lost her sight to MD, However that didn't stop her. She lived in her home until 2019 when she moved to Litchfield Park to be with her daughter and husband. Catherines life was filled with the most joyous of joys and a great many lowest of lows. But no matter the circumstances, Catherine started and ended each day with Jesus. Her relationship with her Heavenly Father left an impression on everyone honored to know her. That relationship alone is what enabled her to proclaim daily, "This is the day that the LORD has made; I WILL rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24 Catherine loved and served everyone she came in contact with until the moment the LORD called her home. "IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU?" A memorial service will be held from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM on 2021-11-13 at St Paul Lutheran Church, 6301 West Indian School Road, Phoenix, AZ, USA.
John Liron John Richard Liron, 86, of Avondale, Arizona, USA, died unexpectedly on October 15, 2021. A beloved father, a great host, a story teller, and world traveler, John forged lasting friendships everywhere he went, and he will be sorely missed by his family and everyone who knew him and his unfailing charm, cheer, wit, and wisdom. John was born on March 15, 1935, in St. Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands, to John William Liron and Myra Margaret Liron (née Marie). While his father was serving in the British Army in Europe and the Middle East, John, with mother, Myra, and brother, Douglas, was among those Jersey residents who were evacuated from Jersey to England, before the German Occupation in 1940, returning in 1945. Growing up, John was a boy scout, accomplished swimmer and water polo player, and Head Boy of his school. As was common at the time, he left school at age 15, and apprenticed as a carpenter joiner. In 1952 he met fellow dancing enthusiast Joan Anne Jackman, who had moved to Jersey, from London, with her parents and brother. John and Joan married in 1955 and went on to have five children: John, Debbie, Karen, Gail, and Richard. In 1961 John and Joan, helped by her father, went into the pub trade, in which they worked, phenomenally hard, and thrived, for 30 years, starting at the Great Western, which they later remodeled and renamed The Harbour Lights, and ending at The Adelphi. John and Joan were active in the Jersey Licensed Victuallers Association, and John was president in 1981. As a member of the Prince of Wales Lodge, part of the Province of Jersey Freemasons, the brotherhood, and the aims of the organization, Integrity, Friendship, Respect, and Charity, were an important part of life for John; he served as Worshipful Master in 1980/81, and was promoted to Provincial office in 1987; this year marked his 50th as a member. In 1990 John and Joan built their first brand new home, in Arizona, and moved there for a much-deserved retirement in the sunshine, enjoying gardening, golf, woodworking, bowling, and travel. It being unlike John not to work at all, he took a job at the Wigwam Resort, and, characteristically, notched up 23 years there without missing a single day or even being late. John was predeceased by his parents John and Myra Liron, his wife of 52 years, Joan Anne Liron, and his brother, Douglas Brian Liron. He is survived by his father's dear second wife, Andrée; his brother, Peter Albert Liron, of Melville, Western Australia; sons: John Edward and Richard Adam; daughters: Debbie, Karen, and Gail; and, so dear to his heart, grandchildren: Adam; Becky; Jake; Hali; Hanna; Abby; Lexy; Rosie; Jay, Kipp, Zack, and Taye; and great grandchildren: Molly, Josie, and Fiona. A Celebration of John's Life will be held at Thompson Funeral Chapel, 926 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, AZ 85338, on Friday November 19, 2021, at 1:00 p.m.
