Hickman’s embroiled in ongoing federal court case By Connor Dziawura

A judge ruled in early November that Hickman’s Egg Ranch must pay a $3,000 penalty for violating ammonia emissions reporting requirements at its Tonopah and Arlington operations, according to court documents obtained by the West Valley View. However, the plaintiff, environmental nonprofit Don’t Waste Arizona, and its lawyer, Howard M. Shanker, cited errors in the decision as well as a need for an increased civil penalty in a November 14 motion for reconsideration. “The worst thing you can do is release large amounts of dangerous chemicals into a community and then not inform them when you know and it’s your job to know,” said Steve Brittle, president of Don’t Waste Arizona. Brittle called the situation “pretty serious” and said he was taken aback by the ruling including the “next to nothing” penalty. Representatives for Hickman’s Egg Ranch did not respond to the West Valley View’s request for comment on the ruling. The lawsuit has been ruminating for several years and reached a public trial without jury on October 17. Originally, the plaintiff wanted a $90 million fine to be imposed against Hickman’s for its alleged failure to properly report ammonia emissions as required by federal law, Brittle said. After recalculating the number of days Hickman’s allegedly violated reporting requirements,

In early November, a judge ruled Hickman’s Egg Ranch must pay a $3,000 penalty for violations of some ammonia emissions reporting requirements at its Tonopah and Arlington facilities over the years. But the plaintiff, Don’t Waste Arizona, is not satisfied with the extent of the ruling. (West Valley View file photo)

the plaintiff increased the figure to $264 million. The judge found a “harsh penalty” unnecessary, but Brittle thinks Hickman’s should have more culpability. Don’t Waste

Arizona is now asking the court to increase the fine to $2 million, which equates to less

ADEQ: No public health issue detected in Tonopah, Arlington By Connor Dziawura

A second round of ambient air quality monitoring in Tonopah found that levels of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide still do not exceed the state and county standard or state guidelines, according to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ). However, levels of hydrogen sulfide measured at one site in Arlington did surpass those permitted by the state and coun-

ty standard. Results were submitted to the Maricopa County Air Quality District. The State of Arizona and Maricopa County Occupied Space Standard is a legally enforced standard based on odor nuisance of hydrogen sulfide. The Arizona Ambient Air Quality Guidelines (AAAQG), on the contrary, are healthbased guidelines, though surpassing ammonia or hydrogen sulfide levels permitted by these guidelines would not necessarily

indicate a health risk. AAAQG is unenforced. During the second round of testing, from June 27 through September 12, a contractor monitored four sites – two in Tonopah and two in Arlington. The sites included a residential property, a school, a county parcel and a local business, according to a technical memorandum submitted to ADEQ by

than 1 percent of the maximum possible penalty, according to the motion for reconsideration. Should Don’t Waste Arizona not receive a “satisfactory resolution,” the ruling will be appealed in the Ninth Circuit Court, Brittle told the West Valley View. “For the price of chicken feed, they get to continue harming this community and not providing the information that they’re required by federal law to have,” he said. According to the November 2 court ruling, ammonia, which is a natural byproduct of the decomposition of chicken waste, is federally designated an “extremely hazardous” substance. In the past, ammonia releases stemming from chicken waste fell within the reporting requirements, of which there are several laws. But according to the court ruling, because the Fair Agricultural Reporting Method (FARM) Act altered certain reporting requirements this year, Hickman’s no longer has to report such emissions and is now only liable for violations prior to the act’s passage. The plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration, however, disputes the conclusions

“regarding the impact of the FARM Act,” suggesting Hickman’s must still report emissions. Don’t Waste Arizona is also a plaintiff in another case against the EPA in the D.C. Court of Appeals regarding “clearly wrong” legal interpretations of the FARM Act’s impact, according to Brittle, who expects to resolve the issue through a motion for summary judgment. The lawsuit against Hickman’s dates back to 2016 and the controversy surrounding the egg manufacturer goes back even further. The Tonopah facility was constructed in 2014, and a citizens’ group called Save Tonopah Oppose Poultry Plant (STOPP) has opposed Hickman’s presence since then. The Arlington facility, however, has been in its community much longer. Some members of Don’t Waste Arizona live near Hickman’s operations and, according to court documents, Arlington and Tonopah residents testified they could regularly smell ammonia. Brittle took notice, too. He said he was contacted by the two communities around 2014, after which he visited to learn more about the situation. “What was really the turning point was in October of 2015, there was an air permit hearing that was held at

the Arlington Elementary School, and when I came out, there was a cloud of ammonia there,” explained Brittle, who said he received ammonia safety training through his decade spent on Maricopa County’s Local Emergency Planning Committee, one of the organizations to which emissions notices are required to be provided. “I went, ‘This is really awful.’ And it was at that point I said, ‘Well, how much ammonia is coming out of these places?’” Ultimately, he said reports required to be filed by Hickman’s could not be found. The court ruling states both facilities have emitted more than 100 pounds of ammonia per day during relevant time periods, and cites a Hickman’s witness, identified as “Dr. Burns,” as having estimated that each facility produces upward of 1,500 pounds per day. (One hundred pounds per day is the amount required to trigger reporting requirements.) Don’t Waste Arizona disputes this. According to the motion for reconsideration, Burns was never called as a witness in the trial and his emission estimates weren’t admitted as evidence. On the contrary, the plaintiff claims its expert, identified as “Dr. Heber,” gave “unrefuted testimony” that the Arlington facility has produced greater than 5,000 pounds per day and the Tonopah facility greater than 4,000 pounds per day, both of which were considered to be “conservative” estimates. The court ruling also says Hickman’s regularly tested for ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emissions at both facilities and has now filed compliance reports, though Don’t Waste Arizona disputes these claims in the motion for reconsideration, arguing the egg manufacturer hasn’t shown any proof they have done either. The only evidence of regular testing, according to the motion for consideration, is ammonia sampling reportedly conducted by Hickman’s that found zero ammonia emissions. The plaintiff, however, questioned the validity of the equipment used, calling the sampling “bogus” and “fabricated ammonia emissions reports.” Several other concerns with the ruling were detailed in the motion for reconsideration, including the factors on the court’s penalty decision, which the plaintiff alleges may not have been supported by the record. “I have never seen a judge do a findings of fact or conclusions of law and draw upon information that was not involved in the trial at all,” Brittle said incredulously, after explaining

that he had initially expected to have the legal situation resolved without a trial. Brittle and STOPP Chairman Dan Mack argue the health of residents is being adversely impacted by Hickman’s ammonia emissions. “People in Tonopah and Arlington are being exposed to a chemical that is harming their health, and I can tell you that I’ve seen it because I’ve been going back and forth for about three years now, and their health is on a gradual slide,” Brittle said. Mack alleged residents are “smelling and feeling the effects of these chemical releases everyday.” They “can’t go outside; have a hard time breathing; eyes, ears, throat burn; some of them have skin lesions; and it’s all because, this all started – especially in Tonopah – once that facility came online and they populated it with chickens,” he added. According to Brittle, the “only source of information (for residents) really under the law is the written follow-up report,” which he said has never been filed. The written follow-up report on ammonia emissions is the specific focus of the citizen suit, he said. Despite claims of the odors and adverse health effects, the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) reported several rounds of ambient air quality monitoring in Tonopah and Arlington this year found no evidence of health risks. The air quality monitoring was not site-specific; rather, it was used to determine if ammonia and hydrogen sulfide levels in the ambient air surpassed state and county guidelines or standards, some which are based on potential health impacts and others which are based on odor nuisance. (See related story on page 1.) Though the ambient air quality monitoring involved both chemicals, Don’t Waste Arizona’s lawsuit pertains strictly to ammonia. According to the court ruling, residents filed complaints with ADEQ and other environmental agencies, but ADEQ never found Hickman’s to be in violation of any environmental laws. Because the court ultimately determined Hickman’s failed to comply with ammonia emissions reporting requirements for many years prior to the FARM Act, however, the court’s $3,000 penalty against the egg manufacturer stands for the time being. As of print time, Brittle said he is still waiting to hear back from the court regarding the motion for reconsideration.

the contractor that conducted the monitoring, which was later obtained by the West Valley View. During the first round, conducted from February 12 through March 12, six sites in Tonopah and seven sites in Arlington were monitored. The first round was mainly to get a sense of the air quality in Tonopah and Arlington and where further monitoring is needed, according to Timothy Franquist, ADEQ Air Quality Division director. Additionally, different seasons have different meteorology, adding to the need for multiple rounds. The second round was more refined and instrumentation more sophisticated, which is why fewer sites were considered and the process took longer than round one, Franquist said. The site selection for round two came down where the highest levels of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide were detected in round one. “We needed a lot more locations in wintertime to look for what were areas of the highest impact or higher impact so we could do a much more refined monitoring event in summer,” Franquist explained. An additional reason for the longer sampling time, Franquist explained, is due to a previous issue of cross contamination of equipment that occurred and had to be rectified. ADEQ’s first round of monitoring previously revealed that levels of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide detected in Tonopah did not exceed the state and county standard or guidelines. In Arlington, however, one site exceeded the standard and one of the guidelines for hydrogen sulfide, while ammonia exceeded the guideline at two sites. In May, Franquist told the West Valley View that data is turned over to the Department of Health Services. No apparent immediate health concern was indicated. The monitoring of air quality in Tonopah and Arlington was initially sparked earlier this year following years of complaints from residents about odor from Hickman’s Family Farms’ egg operations as well as a review of ammonia data voluntarily submitted by the egg manufacturer to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). Franquist previously told the West Valley View that complaints regarding the facilities were “numerous.” Franquist also previously told the West Valley View that air quality monitoring isn’t uncommon and odor complaints are sometimes received near industrial operations. Despite the complaints, Franquist stresses that because the monitoring is conducted on ambient air, it is not source-specific and there are potential sources of the two monitored chemicals other than Hickman’s in the areas. Had a significant presence of either chemical been detected, ADEQ would have had to develop a source-specific monitoring plan, Franquist said. However, that is not the case. “For us, we believe we have adequate data at this point to say that at this time we don’t believe an air quality issue exists in Tonopah or Arlington in terms of hydrogen sulfide or ammonia,” Franquist said.

Red Cross has urgent need for blood, platelets By West Valley View

The American Red Cross has an urgent need for blood and platelet donors to give now to ensure blood is available for medical treatments and emergencies during the holiday season. Blood and platelet donations often decline during the holidays. Regular donors are busy with holiday activities. Yet donations remain critical for patients like 4-year-old Wyatt Monacelli, who is in the midst of intense chemotherapy treatments for leukemia. He has received a number of transfusions since his diagnosis in June and will likely need more. “We are fortunate to have had so many donors give the gift of life to our child so far throughout the course of his treatment, and even more so, we are lucky to have had a supply of blood available for him when he needed it,” said Julianna Monacelli, Wyatt’s mother.

Donors are urged to give now to ensure that families like Monacelli’s don’t have to worry about the availability of blood this winter. In thanks for helping meet the urgent need around the holidays, all those who come to donate blood or platelets through December 19 will receive a $5 Amazon.com gift card via email. Make an appointment to donate blood or platelets by downloading the free American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). Another way to help keep the blood supply strong is to host a Red Cross blood drive this winter. To learn more about hosting a blood drive and to sign up, visit RedCrossBlood.org/HostADrive. Aldea at Estrella Foothills is hosting a blood drive from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, December 8, at 2400 N. Bullard Avenue, Goodyear.

Goodyear teen in Kuwait sharing STEM message By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Marissa Nolte has seen a lot in her 15 years: Illness and major surgeries, academic victories and leadership positions. Now the Goodyear teen is seeing the world. The student at Arizona Agri-Business and Equine Center at Estrella Mountain Community College is in Kuwait for a week as part of the Chief Science Officers program. “This is a great opportunity to benefit us and the Kuwaitis as human beings,” Nolte said. “It’s amazing for both of us culturally and especially for the CSO program, so I can spread the word about the program. It’s so cool.” Founded in Arizona, the worldwide Chief Science Officers program is the first in which a sixth- to 12th-grade student is elected to be his or her school community’s liaison for STEM and innovation. The students experience leadership training, impact STEM opportunities at their school and local community, and work as a collective cabinet to give input and ideas to adult STEM leaders in the state or region.

The CSO program aims to elevate the popularity of STEM and empowers students to bring opportunities to campus and ensure they are respected voices for STEM within their communities. After attending Leadership Institute, they serve as a voice for their school, support existing STEM programs and identify new opportunities. Off campus, CSOs advocate at city council and school board meetings, conferences and local businesses. Nolte is the first Arizona student to travel abroad. Her peers from Kuwait and Mexico have visited here. “With this program expanding internationally, this is a great opportunity to bounce ideas off each other,” Nolte said. She will be in Kuwait for a week, including her 15th birthday on Friday, November 30. She admitted to being nervous about the trip. “My parents aren’t going, which is a little nerve wracking,” she said. “It’s my second time overseas. As a child, I was adopted from China and brought to America.” Nolte was born with a hole in her

heart. She said she believes her parents in China were unable to pursue treatment for her. When she arrived in the United States, she had surgery for her heart problem. At age 7, her brother headbutted her and during a subsequent medical exam, emergency room doctors found a 60 mm cyst in her abdomen. A three-hour surgery bled into nine hours and the removal of her gall bladder. Her intestine was rerouted and she came down with pancreatitis. “I was 7 years old,” she said. “I didn’t understand what was happening. I was lucky that, while I had pancreatitis, I wasn’t experiencing half the pain most people have. “For the cyst, the doctors said they were glad the injury happened because if they didn’t find it sooner, it could have ruptured at any time and immediately killed me.” Nolte is dual enrolled in high school and Estrella Mountain Community College, with the hopes of going into the medical or educational field. Kuwaiti Chief Science Officers came to the United States and the groups connected before Nolte’s trip. Her mother, Jules Nolte, called her daughter her “miracle baby.” She and her husband, Rick, have four adopted children, all of whom had medical issues and in whom they instilled a sense of worth and charity. They stressed the importance of forging ahead despite their medical conditions. “Marissa really took that to heart,” Jules said. Nolte is in Kuwait with CSO Director of Student Success Kelly Greene.

“I met her and was impressed with her as an eighth grader,” Greene said about Nolte. “She was very pleasant and poised. Now, she’s the delegate who’s going to attend the Kuwait cabinet meeting. This is especially important for an Arizona CSO to go because the program was started in Arizona. She’s the first international student to travel from here. The Kuwaiti students came here; the Mexican delegates, too. But she’s our first international student.” Nolte is grateful to have her parents’ permission to go. “It’s hard for me to realize how much they’ve gone through with my medical history and my going overseas without them,” Marissa added. “I love them so much and I’m so grateful to them for allowing me to do this and to give me this opportunity. They support me so much and I love them so much.”

Upon reviewing a recording of the 911 call, detectives recognized Hendrick’s voice, as they had been at her home near the school investigating residential burglaries before she placed the call. A family member later confirmed it was Hendrick’s voice.

She was booked into the Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail for ﬁling a false report.

Man accidentally shoots himself in Buckeye Walmart A man accidentally shot himself in the groin at the Walmart at Watson and Yuma roads the evening of Tuesday, November 27, according to Buckeye police. Officers responded to the store’s meat department, where the man was located. According to police, he confirmed he had accidentally shot himself while trying to reposition his semi-automatic handgun as it was slipping from the waistband of his sweat pants. It was not holstered, and was loaded with a round in the chamber. Buckeye police rendered first aid until the fire department arrived and the man was taken to the hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries. Though police said the incident appears to have been an accident, it is still illegal to discharge a firearm within city limits. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will review a report on the incident.

Avondale Police: Impairment may be a factor in collision Avondale Police suspect impairment may be a factor in a two-vehicle accident that seriously injured three people after 4 a.m. Sunday, November 25. The collision, which occurred at the intersection of McDowell Road and 107th Avenue, involved a silver Jeep Wrangler and a silver Acura passenger vehicle, police said. The three victims were taken to local CARPET • HARDWOOD • TILE & STONE LAMINATE • VINYL

Former MCSO employee arrested for alleged child molestation By Connor Dziawura

A Waddell man, who is a former Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office deputy, was arrested by the department’s Fugitive Apprehension Tactical Enforcement team November 28 on charges of sexual abuse and child molestation. The suspect, 62-year-old Kirk Meisner who retired from MCSO in 2001, was under investigation by MCSO’s SVU detectives and the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for a year.

According to MCSO, deputies responded to a 911 call on July 9, 2017, reporting Meisner had inappropriately touched two underage girls on multiple occasions, most recently on June 19, 2017. Both victims told a forensic interviewer Meisner inappropriately touched them multiple times, and the victims’ parents provided additional information to SVU detectives regarding Meisner making incriminating statements when confronted by them about the allegations.

After Meisner invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent in an interview with SVU detectives, the case was forwarded to the Maricopa County Attorney, which issued a grand jury arrest warrant for Meisner on November 21. No other victims are known, though detectives will continue to investigate if necessary, according to MCSO. “Crimes involving children are among the worst that we investigate as part of our duty to the public, and it is

especially difficult to learn that one of our former employees is the suspect in this case,” Sheriff Paul Penzone said in a statement. “We will continue to enforce the law without favor or prejudice no matter who is involved.” Meisner was booked in the Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail on one count of molestation of a child, one count of attempting to commit molestation of a child, and four counts of sexual abuse.

Mayor Lord enthusiastic about Acero Estrella Commons apartments By Connor Dziawura

Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said she feels a Washington-based real estate company’s plans to develop several hundred new apartment units will greatly benefit the city and its residents. The developer, the Vancouver-based IDM Companies, plans to break ground on the 14.72-acre parcel in January. The result of a $3.8 million sale, the 352-unit Acero Estrella Commons apartment complex is expected to be completed mid-2020.

“I think it’s a great area,” Lord told the West Valley View. “It’s going to meet the needs of those people who have decided to move into apartment living.” The “great area” of which Lord speaks is near the southeast corner of I-10 and Estrella Parkway. Walmart and Safeway are among the many nearby establishments along Estrella Parkway, which also has 700 feet of frontage. Fulton Homes and Christopher Todd have other nearby single-family dwellings, and a full diamond inter-

change of I-10 is one-third of a mile down the road. “It’s quite large,” Lord added. “We’ve got grocery stores, we’ve got entertainment, we’ve got all sorts of coffee shops and different amenities, and it’s continually drawing new businesses. And, of course, this is certainly going to jumpstart it in another direction.” Lord expects Acero Estrella Commons to bolster development in the area. To appease residents’ desires for more retail and entertainment, more

housing is needed. Additionally, she said she feels the complex will meet the needs of the growing community. “It’s what the citizens are crying for at this point,” Lord said of increased retail and entertainment. “The only way we’re going to get this is increase the density. “But this is a good density because it’s affordable,” she added. “It’s affordable for all ages. It also meets the needs of those people that no longer want to live in a single-family and really no longer want to buy.” Walkability is the key word, according to Lord, who cited the ability to walk or bicycle to get something as simple as groceries or even coffee, and explained that studies regarding traffic mitigation are taken into consideration before council approves any plans. “It’s convenience, and that’s really what’s driving a great number of the new apartment buildings being built,” she explained. “It’s in demand. It’s market driven. It’s affordable, too.” Ramey Peru, associate vice president of Colliers International’s Greater Phoenix operations, echoed this sentiment in a statement. “This property provides a terrific, live-work-play environment for multifamily development,” he said. “It is situated next to a Walmart Super Center and walking distance to Safeway, Walgreens and nearby restaurants. Job growth in the area has been robust, which enables future residents to enjoy a complete lifestyle without long commutes.” Colliers International in Greater Phoenix represented the land’s seller, Evergreen Devco of Phoenix, while Phoenix Commercial Advisors represented IDM Companies. Representatives for IDM Companies would not provide comments to the West Valley View.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

GRIMMY’S OPINION — Dayton Daily News

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Council member’s response did not address my concerns

Editor and Councilwoman Lauritano: Thank you for your rapid political-style response to my concerns, leaving out addressing the issues surrounding the new judge. I especially appreciate the generic response about the judge’s qualifications, which was almost the exact same response I received from the city manager in response to the letter I wrote to Mayor Lord. Unfortunately, the mayor did not respond to me, and had the city manager respond instead. I find it to be a bold statement of the top level of the city to list generic qualifications Judge Galindo possesses, implying the other 31 applicants did not demonstrate their qualifications, have the temperament or the commitment to their profession. I am sure a few applicants, if not all, will find that amusing to hear. The solid recruitment process, in my opinion, was not solid at all. How can three random citizens and two judicial members make up a solid committee? In other cities around the Valley, the “committees” were much more complex, including members of the judicial branch, public safety, clergy and veterans, while also being open to the public. Everything about this recruitment was kept from the citizens and not made aware to us. I was there when the council member stated, “When I was told we were tasked with hiring a presiding judge, we had no idea what we were doing.” That speaks volumes to me and, again, if the interviews were public, as most cities’ are, I know more citizens would have been involved. Also, it concerns me that the reason she is good for the city (in your words) is because what she does know about is “the rule of law.” Again, downplaying the fact that the other applicants do not? So, applicants who are active members in the community and have shown dedication to the West Valley and its citizens, are current judicial members, and have knowledge of the “rule of law” were less qualified then someone who is a self-proclaimed “border child.” Do not confuse my concerns with downplaying her qualifications or knowledge. My worry is, as always, the community

in which I live, as well as serve, and where my children will grow up. We have a unique demographic here in the West Valley, which is why I have chosen to stay, work, and raise my family, and I do not want to see it be polluted with questionable ethics or an absent sense of community involvement. Back to addressing my No. 1 concern, did city council consider Judge Galindo’s recent and public accusations of ethical violations? Where was the due diligence to ensure the citizens are in fact protected from the same kind of issues? Was there any kind of investigation into any possible ethical violations filed, resolved or still pending by any of the applicants? If so, what were the results? I’ll leave with the encouragement to always question and stand up for what is right. When something doesn’t sound right, or pass the “headline” test, I hope more people question the actions; and as a citizen, veteran and public servant, I know transparency is vital to ensure there is no dishonesty or perception of dishonesty occurring. Sadly, I feel like that is a quality lacking nowadays. Chris Howard Goodyear

Tyranny

Editor: Frequent readers to this section will recognize that, for about a decade now, I have been expressing my conservative opinions, and in so doing standing up for America. Working within that framework, I must emphasize that political correctness is tyranny. It seems more and more people are afraid to express themselves because of the PC police. Here is an inconvenient fact. Political correctness will eventually rewrite the Constitution, and we will all lose our freedom. We must all fight against it, wherever and whenever political correctness raises its ugly head. Political correctness must be vigorously challenged at work, at school, with friends and virtually everywhere. Perhaps most importantly, companies as well as local school districts must not be intimidated and fear lawsuits by the ACLU if they speak up for America. Companies must stop bowing down to radical progressive bullies. Speaking of which, shame on the biggest wimps of all, which would be

the politically correct NFL. The NFL is gutless. I repeat that – gutless. If the players want to take a knee, bench them for the game! Conservative university students are afraid to express their opinions because their progressive professor may give them a failing grade for doing so. Mom and dad are afraid to express their opinions at the office. Enough already! Get some guts. The often-referred-to greatest generation of Americans fought a world war to preserve our freedoms. If we continue to let political correctness divide and conquer us, those of the greatest generation of all, who may have defeated Hitler, will all have died in vain if we let progressives destroy the very framework of our society and our culture. As an afterthought, now the former deep red state of Arizona has a Communist-leaning senator. But she tells us she is a moderate. Well maybe a moderate Communist isn’t too bad. Are all of you Republican never-Trumpers proud that you voted for her? Will you Republican never-Trumpers accept responsibility when she votes with Schumer 100 percent of the time? Yeah, when pigs fly. Roy Azzarello Goodyear

President Trump’s inaccurate statements Editor:

If a person lies regularly, does it become acceptable after a while? President Trump tells lies every day, but his loyal followers apparently don’t care. They cite a few lies told by Obama or

Clinton as justification for the thousands of documented lies told by Trump – this is called “false equivalency” – or they point to the improved economy or border security to argue that “the end justifies the means,” a Marxist concept. Here are some recent whoppers by our president: “The FBI doesn’t investigate Supreme Court candidates.” False. Yes, they do. “We had the same policy as Obama re: separation of families at the border.” False. Trump expanded the separations policy way beyond what Obama had. “You need an I.D. to buy a box of cereal or do anything except if you’re a voter.” False. You don’t need an I.D. to do most things, except voting. “The Democrats’ plan would obliterate Medicare.” False. It would strengthen it. “Sanctuary cities have released thousands of illegal alien criminals.” False. Sanctuary cities keep alien criminals in custody for ICE to pick up. “Saudi Arabia has ordered $450 billion in arms and goods producing over a million U.S. jobs.” False. The real number is $15 billion and hundreds of jobs. “Republicans just passed the Veterans’ Choice program after decades of trying.” False. This was passed after four years of negotiations on a bipartisan basis. “Poor forest management is the reason for the deadly and costly California fires.” False. Federal and state forest experts say that was not the reason. “Many presidents don’t get the chance to put a Supreme Court justice on.” False. Every president but one since the Civil War has put a justice on SCOTUS.

Border tear-gassing raises questions with no answers By David Leibowitz

If the adage remains true and a picture is worth a thousand words, then the photograph, shot on November 25, is worth the tens of thousands words that have been spent analyzing it since then. The picture shows a 39-year-old mother of five, a refugee from Honduras by the name of Maria Meza, dragging two little girls away from an ominous tendril of teargas. The daughters, identical 5-year-old twins, are clad in diapers. One of the girls flees barefoot. Meza wears a T-shirt that depicts the smiling faces of Elsa and Anna from the Disney movie Frozen. The picture, shot by Reuters photographer Kim Kyung-Hoon, got frontpage play in the New York Times, the Washington Post and scores of newspapers and websites worldwide. That’s not a shock. Kyung-Hoon’s image crystallizes the American debate over immigration in a single frame. Buzzfeed News found Meza and her kids at a refugee encampment in Tijuana that afternoon. “I felt sad, I was scared. I wanted

Business Briefcase

By Connor Dziawura

Greetings, readers! So many suggestions are coming in, and I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of you who have emailed in ideas. I have done some digging and have gathered quite a bit of information on a few, which I will touch upon in today’s edition of Business Briefcase. Beyond this week, however, I have plenty more in store, spanning from Litchfield Park to Goodyear. So stick around today to read about a vinyl-themed Venezuelan food truck, an upcoming Mexican food restaurant, real estate, technology repairs and more! Then, come back next week for more developments. Here’s the news! Let’s start with an interesting one. Arepa Soundtracks, the aforementioned Venezuelan food truck, will celebrate its grand opening at 11:30 a.m. Friday, December 14, in the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce parking lot, 289 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. The food truck isn’t exactly new, as it was started in Alabama, though the

West Valley is its new home. And its owners put an interesting spin on the concept of Venezuelan food, one which is intended to bridge the gap between American and Venezuelan culture. Are you a fan of rock weirdos Ween and their Chocolate & Cheese album? Well, Arepa Soundtracks has you covered with a slight nod to the album. Though the Pork & Cheese If You Please option doesn’t have chocolate, it pairs cheddar cheese with slow-roasted pork that is cooked with rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper. Arepa Soundtracks caters to fans of other artists, too, with tributes to the likes of Van Morrison, The Grateful Dead, Elvis Presley, Queen, Pearl Jam and Led Zeppelin. Salads like the feta garden salad pay tribute to Soundgarden, while the craison spinach salad honors Irish legends The Cranberries. The quesillo is essentially a cake for fans of, you guessed it, Cake’s Comfort Eagle album, while there are also tributes to The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine and sweet plantains for when you feel like letting your in-

ner Beetlejuice out and dancing along to Harry Belafonte’s classic “Day-O (The Banana Boat Song).” All arepas cost $10 and include chips, bottled water and tax. They’re gluten free, too. Salads and “sidetracks” range from $2 to $5. More information on the food truck and its location schedule can be found at arepasoundtracks.com. Keeping with the chamber tie for one more business, a week later, on Friday, December 21, a new CPR business will celebrate its grand opening at noon. Dropping the acronym, the business is simply called Cell Phone Repair. While it’s not the life-saving “CPR” in which you probably expected, Cell Phone Repair will “save lives” in another respect, as it fixes smart phones, tablets, gaming consoles and other devices. CPR is open at 15525 W. Roosevelt Street, Suite 109, Goodyear. Refreshments will be served at the grand opening event. To reach the store, call 623-932-5001. For more information about the chamber or its grand openings, contact the organization at info@southwestvalleychamber.org or 623-932-2260. Now, let’s move along to Litchfield Park. Full House Realty of Arizona replaced Allstate Insurance at 4830 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 102, in Plaza in the Park, at the southwest corner of Camelback and Litchfield roads.

Adams Natural Meats offers full line of bison products By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

When contractor Bryan Adams was hired for a blasting job in Colorado, it led him on a journey to Arizona – with three bison calves. “Being involved in the drilling and blasting business in Colorado, we received a call from Paul Jonjak of Blue Mountain Bison in 1992, asking if we would dynamite out a basement for his new home,” Adams has said. “He offered three bison calves in trade. Not knowing what we were getting into, we agreed. When the job was completed, Mr. Jonjak brought the two heifer calves and one bull calf on Christmas Eve.” Adams, who grew up on a dairy farm, and his wife, Mary, moved to Arizona and founded Arizona Buffalo Co., now known as Adams Natural Meats, first to Scottsdale in 1995 and then to Buckeye in 2000. The couple humanely and naturally raise their bison on their 30acre property. “We grow all of our own feed here for them, so we know their exact diet, which is nice,” said Kristen McGuire, Adams Natural Meats’ marketing director of 17 years. “We don’t use pesticides or anything like that. You will see weeds out in our field. The animals sometimes get choosy and eat around them.” To celebrate the holidays, Adams Natural Meats is hosting “Bison Bites

The evening, open to 60 guests, features bison prime rib; green beans with bison bacon; loaded baked potatoes; rolls with local cinnamon honey butter; homemade chocolate Texas sheet cake with salted caramel buttercream frosting; and pâté with crackers and cheese. Adams Natural Meats sells its products at an onsite store, which offers a full line of products including ground bison, bison jerky, bison brats, bison cooked pot roast, bison patties and

grain-finished bison back ribs. The items start at $13 per pound, with steaks at $18, varying on cut. “Grocery stores might carry a bison steak,” McGuire said. “We have bison steaks, bison roasts, turkey, bison bratwurst, snack sticks, back ribs and short ribs.” Elk, turkey, chicken, Deep Pit seasoning, Sassy’s salsa and Rossi pasta

Three generations running together at Santa Hustle By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Marilyn Sheraden spent her Thanksgiving holiday running barefoot on the beach in Rocky Point preparing for the Santa Hustle Half Marathon and 5K at Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale on Sunday, December 16. Sheraden is 80 years old and she’s joining her daughter, Nicki Uhls, 49, and her grandson, Colton, 13, for the run. “I think the race will be easier because I’ve been running barefoot on the beach,” Sheraden said from her Mexican vacation spot. “I get into some deep sand and, whoa, that just really stops you. But with the Santa Hustle, as long

as it’s smooth, I’ll do well. I’ll have running shoes on and it’ll be easier.” Santa Hustle participants receive a Santa hat and beard; Santa Hustle performance hoodie to wear while running; and a 5K finisher medal. The event benefits the Glendale Fire Charities. For more information, visit santahustle.com. “When you sign up, you get Santa clothes,” Uhls said. “I might wear last year’s shirt. It looks like a Santa costume in the front. This year it’s a thicker shirt.” Sheraden frequently raced when she was younger, but it’s been awhile. “I used to run when I was younger,”

said Sheraden, the previous owner of Phoenix’s Cheyenne Saloon. “I’ve run 5 and 10Ks for years, but I haven’t run in the last 20 years. I’m trying to work my way up to it.” Uhls said her mom, a Goodyear resident, mentioned in passing that the three generations should run together, but she took it seriously. “It was my mom’s idea,” she said. “I ran in the Santa Hustle last year by myself. I told her I had the perfect race for us. It’s more of a good time. It’s not stressful.” Sheraden was a little more hesitant. “Whenever my daughter brought it up, I said, ‘Yeah, right,’” Sheraden add-

ed with a laugh. “She did it last year by herself. My grandson was going to run it last year, but he broke his arm playing football the last game of the season. This year he’s in one piece.” Uhls has been running since she was 10. “My parents came into my room and said they were thinking of signing me up for a 10K,” Uhls said. “I said OK. I had no idea how far it was. I played outside every day. We didn’t have computers. I did pool laps every day. I rode my bike every day. I could outrun boys. “Now my goal is to run and not stop,” she added with a laugh.

If they make All-American, that’s fantastic, but no matter what the result or where they finish, we don’t want any athletes feeling disappointed or discouraged after the race.

Celebrate the holidays with Verrado residents By Julianna Morton

The North Pole is coming to Verrado. The halls are decked, and the lights are aglow for the Verrado’s eighth annual We Heart Christmas Home Tour from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday, December 9. Seven Verrado homeowners are opening the doors of their decorated homes to the community, said Realtor Karen Milhous, an event founder and coordinator. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at multiple locations throughout the Buckeye area as well as at the homes on the tour. Visit weheartchristmas. com for more information. “We welcome everybody to enjoy the feeling of community and (to share) the love of the season and the joy, fun and laughter,” she said. Guests meet at The Vic Bar and Kitchen for a cash bar, live music and free hot chocolate, cider and cookies. Ticket holders can begin the tour on their own time. Debbie Oden moved with her husband from Tennessee to Verrado in April. They are showcasing their home, which carries a “French winter wonderland and modern vintage Christmas” theme. She describes her champagne-colored living room as “French romantic,” and that will be on display along with “Mrs. Claus’ whimsical kitchen.” Oden specializes in small vignettes and trees, one of which will be decorated in Wedgewood ﬁne china and porcelain. “I do a lot of little family vignettes and trees about people and things and collections,” she said. Oden said she has been involved in Christmas-themed fundraisers and holiday decorating since 1996. She inspires others by teaching them to decorate at workshops in Verrado. “What I love most about it is giving others ideas using their collections and their treasures in lieu of ornaments at times to create very personalized, magical Christmas vignettes,” she said. We Heart Christmas Home Tour began in 2011 when a group of women from Palm Valley Church were meeting for its weekly prayer and coffee. The tour attracted 150 people; this year, attendance is expected to hit 400. “It has totally never mattered to me and the rest of the people whether the house is big or small or the number of decorations,” Milhous said. “It’s really about the heart of the homeowner say-

ing, ‘Come on in. I’d like to meet you, get to know you, and get to welcome you to our home as we’re going to celebrate Christmas.’” All event proceeds go to Communi-

ty Paws, a nonproﬁt, volunteer-based organization that helps with animal welfare services, said Sarah Taylor, Verrado resident and Community Paws president.

Local band wins Christmas Pudding contest By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Guitarist Connor Kelly is passionate about his band Undecided Youth. The Verrado High School graduate is placing all his cards on the band and it’s paying off. Undecided Youth won Alice Cooper’s Proof is in the Pudding Musical Talent Search leading to a spot at the 17th annual Christmas Pudding on Saturday, December 8, at Phoenix’s Celebrity Theater. Undecided Youth tried a handful of times to land this opportunity. “We’ve been working pretty hard for that,” said Kelly, who lives in Waddell. “We put our time in. It was good to see us being rewarded for all our hard work. It was surreal.” This year’s Christmas Pudding, the proceeds of which go to Alice Cooper’s The Rock Teen Center, also features performances by Larry the Cable Guy, Sebastian Bach, Buck Dharma and Eric Bloom of Blue Öyster Cult and Beasto Blanco with Cooper’s daughter Calico and his touring bassist Chuck Garric on vocals. The Hollywood Vampires,

tain High School. “I was so excited. I wanted it for four years. It was such a cool experience. I saw comments Alice made about me and the band. He said I was born with charisma. You just have it or you don’t. It was surreal to hear such rock royalty talking about me. It’s such a cool compliment.” Founded in October 2015, Undecided Youth mixes a modern sound with a classic rock vibe. Its members range in age from 14 to 18 and have performed professionally in more than 250 shows and over 50 venues, including the Whisky A Go-Go in Hollywood. Available on all music platforms, Undecided Youth’s self-titled EP was produced by Casey Weaver at Steampunk Audio

Labs in Glendale. “I know they’re a young band, but they definitely have a level of maturity and professionalism that you don’t see in a lot of other bands, regardless of their age,” Weaver said. “They came to me with a lot of raw talent and I shaped their sound. It was a fantastic pairing. The results we got were expected but surprised everybody. When we were finished, we knew it was an excellent, excellent product.” Welsh said the band is considering re-entering the studio when it’s not performing throughout the Valley. Undecided Youth at the time of the Christmas Pudding contest also included bassist Cole Gascon of Peoria and drummer Will Hanson, who attends Estrella Foothills High School. Gascon has since left the band and Jacob Treat of Peoria replaced him. “I am so proud to be able to have these guys in my band,” Welsh said. “They are amazing. They are so good at what they do. I’m in awe of what they have to offer.” The musicians have their own stories about why they decided to pursue this career. Welsh recalls listening to the radio with her parents. “The moment when I decided I really liked music was when I was driving around with my parents, listening to the radio and ‘Wish You Were Here’ by Pink Floyd came on. I was so struck by it. I realized then that’s what I wanted to do.” Hansen, 15, is inspired by Jason Bonham, Keith Moon and Buddy Rich. He describes his band as having a “classic rock background living in a modern world.” “I started playing when I was 8 and I started out on (the game) Rock Band,” he said. “I received a drum kit and I just kept going and going. It’s just been a lot of fun. One day I decided I wanted to do this for the rest of my life.” Kelly can’t remember wanting to do anything else. “I have never felt so passionate about something before,” he said. “I could do this forever.” Alice Cooper’s Christmas Pudding 5 p.m. Saturday, December 8 Celebrity Theatre, 440 N. 32nd Street, Phoenix Tickets are $120-$225. 602-267-1600, ext. 1

Real snow, Santa round out Litchfield Park celebration By Julianna Morton

Litchfield Park’s signature Christmas celebration is returning for the 31st year, with Santa Claus in tow. Christmas in the Park is 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, December 8, along Wigwam Boulevard and Old Litchfield Road, and became a holiday staple before the city’s incorporation. “I describe it as the Hallmark Christmas experience,” said Sonny Culbreth, who retired as Litchfield Park’s assistant city manager and community and recreations services director this year. “It is such a small-town atmosphere even though it’s grown to where we attract between 6,000 and 7,000 people.” This family-friendly event features a variety of holiday-themed activities, said Tricia Kramer, Litchfield Park’s special events coordinator. Children can look forward to pony and train rides, winter-themed inflatables, crafts at Santa’s Workshop, photos with Santa and a parade. Fifteen tons of real snow will be split into areas for younger and older children. Hilgers Orthodontics and Hilgers Pediatrics Dentistry are presenting the event, specifically Elf’s Alley, which features kids’ activities, a train ride, face painting, inflatables and homemade reindeer food. “It’s just really a fun, holiday time to give back to the community, and see all of our patients out there enjoying the holidays,” said Tanya Sterling of Hilgers Orthodontics and Hilgers Pediatrics Dentistry. Kramer said adults aren’t left out, as they can shop among the almost 70 arts and craft vendors. Fifteen booths will sell food and drinks. The 10 a.m. parade features more

than 2,000 scouts, school and youth groups, local businesses and sponsors with their floats. “It’s a mix that’s really grown over time, and it’s been fun to see the excitement of all the children who participate and all the families who are out there waiting for their kids to come by,” she said. Brigadier General Todd Canterbury, who took command of Luke Air Force Base in June, will serve as grand marshal. “We’re real excited for that to happen because he went to Agua Fria High School, and he went to the middle school here,” Culbreth said. “It’s like a hometown boy makes good and comes back to be the commander at the base.” Celebrating his fifth year as parade announcer, Culbreth said his two sons enjoyed Christmas in the Park when they were young. “Now (my sons) bring their kids to Christmas in the Park,” he said. “I see a lot of the kids who grew up here who have gone away and moved back to have their families experience what they experienced when they were kids growing up in this community. They all come out for this event because this really is one of our most special events that we have that really caters to the entire family.” Mayor Thomas Schoaf will close the festival by reading ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas around 3:45 p.m. “Parents can feel nostalgic and kids can get that same experience,” Kramer said. “It’s a shared experience between family members.”

Local barrel racer to compete in Vegas By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Goodyear cowgirl Jaden Usher doesn’t flinch when asked if she gets nervous when she competes in rodeos. After all, the 12-year-old started barrel racing and roping about seven years ago. Her nerves of steel will play a big role next week when she heads to the KK Run for Vegas/JrNFR Barrel Race in Las Vegas. The event is held in conjunction with the National Finals Rodeo, the sport’s grand finale. She is one of 147 cowgirls who will compete December 11 to December 15. “This is the culmination of a lot of hard work by these kids, and they have all earned the right to compete in Las Vegas,” said Kelly Kaminski, the event’s organizer and a two-time world champion barrel racer in the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association. “Each of these kids will be competing for over $130,000 in cash and prizes, and a chance to earn a qualifying spot in The American Semifinals next February in Fort Worth.” Each competitor will run the cloverleaf pattern twice, and the top 20 girls with the fastest two-run cumulative times will advance to the championship round. The girl with the fastest av-

erage time also will win a CM Trailer. “These are all kids 16 and under, and they come from all across the country, Mexico and Australia,” Kaminski said. “This is a great opportunity for these girls.” Rodeo is in Jaden’s blood. Her mother, Joan, competed professionally in rodeos in Canada, and was in that country’s national finals seven times. “I served on the Canadian team during the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in Salt Lake City,” Joan said. “It was a lot of fun. My husband (Clell) rodeoed quite a bit through college and had a professional career. We’re happy to be parents of a junior rodeo kid.” Jaden said her parents have taught her important lessons. “They taught me how to win and lose gracefully,” she explained. “Sometimes for mom it’s very nerve wracking,” Joan added. “Even though I did it myself, it’s still nerve wracking when it’s your child.”

Local children chosen for Culver’s calendar By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

The artwork for four West Valley youth was chosen to appear in the 2019 Culver’s calendar, as part of the restaurant’s Thank You Farmers Project. The area students are Gabriella Baca, 8, of Goodyear; Jordyn Clark, 7, and Dylan Smith, 3, of Avondale; and Shelby Sill, 12, of Buckeye. “My wife (Cortney) and I are extremely proud of Dylan,” Ben Smith said. “We felt like he did a very good job on his artwork. Dylan focuses intently while he colors. He like to do his best at staying in the lines.” The Smiths saw an advertisement for the coloring contest and encouraged their three children to enter. The family, which also includes Gabriella, 9, and Lincoln, 6, enjoys eating at Culver’s. For Baca, she said she was very careful when coloring her picture. “I was trying to make it so I wouldn’t get outside the lines so it wouldn’t get messy,” she said. Her parents, Angel and Monica Baca, are proud. “I didn’t get to see the drawing because she was with their grandma,” Monica said. “They enter a lot of those little contests. I didn’t expect to hear anything. She was super excited. I didn’t get to see the picture until Culver’s sent it to me.” Monica called Culver’s the family’s “home away from home.” “I usually get chicken strips with a side of fries,” said Baca, who has a
