Buckeye woman giving Mexican kids access to education By Carrie Snider
Kathleen Duncan didn’t expect to help hundreds of children get their education. Now she can’t imagine doing anything else. Duncan, a Buckeye resident who owns Duncan Farms with her husband Arnott, said when she became an empty nester she wondered how she could give back to the community. With a degree and experience in the field of child psychology, helping children appealed to her. But she realized the West Valley wasn’t the only community in her life. Her family vacations in Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) and she wondered how she could help. “I found an emergency children’s shelter there and would go every week for the next three years,” Kathleen Duncan works with students at homework club in Rocky Point.

Ex-Avondale sergeant appealing firing for alleged racial posts By Connor Dziawura
A former Avondale police officer is appealing his September firing for allegedly posting racially motivated statements on Facebook. The city’s attorney, Susan Segal, told the West Valley View former Sgt. Sean Maas “was terminated for posting insensitive or inappropriate posts on Facebook that had an effect on the workplace.” Though Segal said she could not discuss the content of the posts, she con-
firmed they will be made public following the internal investigation and appeal. Maas was placed on administrative leave August 22, after he returned from another leave. He was terminated on September 13, which he appealed four days later. Segal would not discuss the past leave of absence, though she told the West Valley View it was personal and unrelated. In addition to Segal declining to comment on the contents of the alleged Facebook posts, a statement provided to the
West Valley View by Avondale Police’s public information officer, Sgt. Thomas Alt, said the department does not have “specific knowledge of the specific post.” Attorney James Green of Smith & Green told the West Valley View the alleged Facebook posts were directed at his clients, Reginald and Erica Sayles. Reginald, a former Avondale police officer, became friends with Maas through their time together on the force, he said.

Education...continued from page 1 “Some families have to choose between school and food,” she said. “No one should have to choose between food and education.” Duncan became a member of Steps of Love, a nonprofit group in Arizona founded by Karina Jones that was helping students in a nearby community. Duncan became a board member, and later the liaison. Nonprofits operate differently in the United States, so the Duncans formed AIMpenasco in 2015 in Mexico. The idea was for AIM and Steps of Love to work together on both sides of the border to bridge the gaps for students in Rocky Point. “Our desire was for them to thrive,” Duncan said. “What did that look like? Education, education, education.” She remembers the first family they accepted into the AIM program. The mother said she wanted to send her daughter to school, but the family couldn’t afford the transportation. The first year, AIM helped 72 students and now 290 pupils are enrolled. The retention rate is 98 percent with students scoring high and seeing college in their futures. “We have a waiting list. That keeps me up at night,” Duncan explained. A big part of what they do is homework club, where students work with certified teachers and interns, and socialize with other students. “They are amazing families full of potential,” she said. “I am in awe of how strong and resilient they are.”
Families give back by offering help with cleaning, meals or using their talents in other ways to help the program succeed. Things have gotten to a great start through the help of many dedicated staff, volunteers and donors. The next step is to make sure what they’ve built continues long into the future. Steps of Love is starting to actively fundraise in the United States. Those interested can go to stepsoflove.org and click on “donate.” About $30 a month covers the cost of one student’s expenses in Rocky Point. AIM is also fundraising in Mexico and recently raised money to purchase uniforms. From the start, Duncan wanted to make sure this project wasn’t just about Americans helping Mexicans. It’s about the Rocky Point community coming together to support local education. The staff and volunteers in Rocky Point are passionate about this and offer so much to the program, she added. Also in the works is a fourth location for a homework club to be as close to as many students as possible. While Duncan has loved building up this program, in the near future she will be working more in the background when the group hires an executive director. But her heart will always stay with the kids. “These families are so appreciative and so humble. They are so motivated and have a desire and belief in education,” Duncan said. “I just love these kids.”

The pair’s wives, Erica Sayles and Melissa Maas, then formed Blush Salon in Goodyear in 2013. Smith is representing the Sayleses in a civil lawsuit against the Maases stemming from disputes over Blush Salon. It began late last Sean Maas is appealing his firing. year when Sean (Photo courtesy Avondale Police replaced Melis- Department) sa as an owner through an articles of amendment with the Arizona Corporation Commission, according to Green. The two couples eventually signed a settlement agreement, leaving the Sayleses as the owners of Blush Salon. The Maases started Thairapy Salon, also in Goodyear. The lawsuit is ongoing, however, because Green said the Maases did not comply with the terms of the settlement. “He’s angry with my clients and he decided to voice his, I guess, anger with my clients through these Facebook posts that were racial,” said Green, who accused Sean Maas of using “mob tactics” to steal the business from his clients. According to Green, Reginald found out about the alleged racist Facebook posts from a friend who still works at the department, and that they were directed at him and his wife, after Maas was fired. Green said Segal told him “one of the Facebook posts had something to do with a black person speaking in stereotypical black dialect” but that he hasn’t seen it. He said he has, however, seen an image depicting a two-headed gorilla eating a banana, which he said isn’t part of the termination hearing. According to Green, Avondale officials didn’t have that particular post until Segal recently asked Green to send it to her. “I consider that to be very vile and racist,” said Green, who noted that image was posted on Facebook by Melissa, who tagged Sean, who then “liked” it. As of print time, Kathryn Baillie, reportedly Maas’ attorney, did not return the West Valley View’s request for comment. The first appeal hearing was held December 5. Intended to be open to the public, according to Green, it was ultimately closed off. In a follow-up email to the West Valley View, Segal confirmed the Arizona Peace Officer’s Bill of Rights allows it to be closed if it is agreed upon. Because most of the internal investigation is not public until the appeal is completed, the meeting was closed. As of print time, it was set to continue December 17.

TUHSD superintendent making her mark with Latino group By Octavio Serrano
Tolleson Union High School District superintendent Nora Gutierrez suffered from a lack of Latino role models while growing up in New Mexico. “I never had a Latino role model until my senior year of high school,” she said, referring to her business teacher. Now students are admiring Gutierrez. She is the president of the Arizona Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents, which focuses on promoting future Latino educators by providing them with leadership skills. She was appointed in July, after having been a board member for 10 years. Her term is one year, so she has to work quickly to increase AZALAZ membership and promote Latino role models. “Our mission is to promote effec-

successfully to college or careers. Through its donation, WellCare will help First Star dramatically expand its presence by more than doubling the number of foster youth served in Arizona, according to First Star estimates. Arizona’s foster population totals approximately 17,000 young people. As youth age out of the foster care system, they often face critical life decisions related to their health, safety and education. To support this transition, First Star partners with child welfare agencies, universities and school districts to make a long-term investment in foster youth and provide essential support on the path to adult life. First Star’s four-year support programs, which are hosted on university and college campuses across the country, provide young people with the encouragement, guidance, academic and life skills needed to successfully move on to higher education and adulthood. The program is led by professional staffers and peer mentors and offers immersive residential summers and monthly sessions during the school year. First Star operates on 12 university and college campuses across the United States. In Arizona, First Star operates in partnership with ASU through Access ASU, which is designed to ensure all Arizona students graduate high school ready to thrive in college and
the 21st century workforce. WellCare’s donation will help expand the ASU program beyond the current cohort of students from Maricopa county enabling recruitment from surrounding Gila, Pinal, Mohave, Coconino, Apache, Navajo and Yavapai counties by utilizing a hybrid of ASU digital learning platforms and residential summer programming. “Today, there are an estimated 440,000 U.S. children in foster care. An overwhelming majority of these young people face abysmal prospects after leaving the foster system,” said Peter Samuelson, First Star co-founder and president. “Nearly half end up homeless, incarcerated or on welfare within two years of aging out of care; half graduate high school; about 10 percent enter college; and fewer than 3 percent go on to earn a college degree. In comparison, 98 percent of First Star students graduate high school, and 89 percent move on to higher education. “First Star students have a path forward and an opportunity to strengthen the skills they need to move on to higher education, employment and productive adult lives. With ASU’s indispensable involvement, First Star is helping to change the course of foster kids’ lives, and now, thanks to the support of WellCare, we have an opportunity to extend our impact even further in the state of Arizona.”

Buckeye superintendent to help rebuild school in Puerto Rico

By Carrie Snider
Buckeye Elementary School District Superintendent Kristi Sandvik will be in Puerto Rico January 21 to January 28 with other educators to rebuild a school devastated by last year’s Hurricane Maria. “This is a unique opportunity,” Sandvik said about the Lifetouch Memory Mission. “I’m excited and thrilled.” Colegio Bautista is in the city of Juncos and has 120 students in kindergarten through ninth grade. After the hurricane, standing water ruined classrooms and sections of the roof were missing. Rebuilding efforts are underway, and Sandvik’s group – which includes nearly 45 educators from around the United States – will rebuild the school’s sport court and an exterior property wall that protects the school grounds. “The area is in such need,” she said. “It is devastated. They need basic things from band-aids to pencils, all the way to building materials.” During the trip, Lifetouch is also organizing a school picture day. While in Puerto Rico, Sandvik will connect with her students in Buckeye via live video so they can see the progress and learn about the culture. “It’s also a nice opportunity for them to see their superintendent in a different environment, doing some hard work,” Sandvik said. “They’re sending questions ahead of time. It will be an educational experience.” Juncos is located south of San Juan, and while thousands fled Puerto Rico after the hurricane, many families of Colegio Bautista stayed even though some were without water and electricity for more than six months. Beyond seeing the school improved during her time there, Sandvik is

also looking forward to forging relationships with the other educators in the group, as well as getting to know students, families and educators in Puerto Rico. “To go and experience a culture that is different will be a great experience. It’s not a vacation – it’s going to be hard work. But anytime I’m around kids, to me that’s like a vacation.” Sandvik is close to reaching her goal of raising $10,000 to help purchase supplies and building materials for the school. Those interested in donating can visit firstgiving.com and enter “Sandvik” to find her page. This is the 16th Lifetouch Memory Mission, with previous missions in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, New Orleans, Appalachia, Jamaica, Kosovo and Arizona. In Arizona, volunteers constructed a footbridge in the Navajo Nation across a deep ravine so children could get to school safely.

Breast cancer survivors who would like to increase their energy levels are invited to take part in ASU’s eightweek Recovery & Rejuvenation Study. The free one-hour classes are taught by ASU research staff in Goodyear at the Southwest Valley YMCA on Tuesday mornings, starting January 15. They offer three different series of free classes. In two of the three series, they teach and practice forms of gentle movement; in the third, they take an educational approach. “Evidence-based research has shown that gentle movement and peer support are both associated with significant benefits for cancer survivors during treatment and beyond,” said Dr. Linda Larkey, principal investigator for the ASU research study. “We are hoping
to learn why that might be, and which approach is most beneficial.” Participants will receive up to $70 in gift cards after completing the study. They are asked to visit ASU’s downtown campus twice to participate in “before the eight-week classes” and “after the eight-week classes” evaluations. Women who meet these three criteria are eligible to learn more about the study: Stage 0 to stage III breast cancer survivor Between 45 and 75 years of age At least six months, up to 10 years, past primary treatment For more information about the Recovery & Rejuvenation research study, call ASU’s research study line at 602496-2329, or email rnr@asu.edu.

For golfers, a four-person team is $360 and includes the round of golf, golf cart and lunch. Individuals who enter will be partnered with a golf group. The entry deadline is March 8. Registration forms are available in the PebbleCreek golf pro shops or by contacting Pat Enyeart at 623251-1267 or John Spooler at 623695-6614. “After outstanding success with the golf tournament in our inaugural year, we are really excited about our upcoming second annual event,” said Joan Smith, Rotary Club president. “A fun feature of the tournament is the ‘ball drop’ when 300 numbered golf balls will be dropped from the top of a fire ladder truck.” Tickets for each ball number will be sold and the dropped ball that lands in or closest to the designated golf hole will win 50 percent of the total raffle amount collected. “Last year, the winner took home $3,000, and it is a fun event for spectators,” Smith said. To purchase ball drop tickets, call
Tom Leyda at 760-485-5549. The lunch following the tournament will present additional raffle prize opportunities including golf equipment, dinner gift certificates and wine baskets. “We hope to exceed our player and sponsorship turnout following our encouraging first year,” Smith said. “Virtually all of the tournament proceeds are re-invested back into the community in the spirit of ‘service above self,’ which anchors Rotary’s mission.” Chartered in November 2017, the Rotary Club of Goodyear PebbleCreek has 33 members. The club meets at 7 a.m. Wednesdays in the PebbleCreek Tuscany Falls clubhouse.

Study: Goodyear residents need more internet options By Niki D’Andrea
Goodyear residents have some of the best internet service in the state, but there is room for improvement when it comes to pricing and competition, according to a recent study by BroadbandNow. BroadbandNow is a national website that aggregates data for consumers to access to compare internet service and prices in their area. Its “Broadband Infrastructure Report” for Goodyear, released in late November, shows that while average internet speeds are faster in Goodyear than in Phoenix, there’s a lack of competition among providers and higher-than-desired price points. The report proposes some changes to local development policies to give residents better broadband options, modeled after the city of Mesa. “Residents of Goodyear would probably be surprised to hear that their internet service is among the best in the state. This is largely due to decent network upgrade investments by Cox and CenturyLink, which means most residents have access to 100+ Mbps,” said Jameson Zimmer, director of content for BroadbandNow. According to speed test data from BroadbandNow, the average download speed in Goodyear is 39 Mbps, compared with 33 Mbps in Phoenix. Businesses in Phoenix are reportedly paying more than $1,000 per month for internet service – more than three times the national average. Prices for residential service in Goodyear often cost more than $100 per month. According to Zimmer, this is because there are only two major providers in the area: Cox and CenturyLink. “Both local providers offer low-income subsidy programs, but these only apply to extremely basic service with data restrictions,” Zimmer noted. “It’s also worth mentioning that both local providers cap your data around one terabyte, which can be a problem for families that do a lot of streaming.” There’s some debate about such data caps, Zimmer said: “Consumer groups see them as a way for cable companies to force customers to subscribe to cable TV rather than just use Netflix. Cable companies tend to claim that they’re a method
of controlling network congestion.” BroadbandNow’s report on Goodyear showed that, in general, 12.1 percent of residents have access to two wired internet providers. The rest of the population (roughly 3,000 consumers) only has access to one or no wired broadband providers, leaving them without a competitive marketplace. Creating a competitive marketplace in Goodyear won’t be easy, according to BroadbandNow, but it can be done. “The only way to improve local internet options is to get involved with local politics and lobby legislators to install broadband-friendly policies,” Zimmer said. “Usually, this means ‘dig once’ policies, open access for municipal utility poles, and other infrastructure-friendly requirements. In some cases, public-private partnerships where the city invests in public-owned fiber can also be effective. Arizona is one of the few states that doesn’t restrict local investment in telecommunications infrastructure.” Zimmer points to Mesa as an example of consumer-friendly infrastructure changes related to broadband access. “Mesa, Arizona, is a good case study for how adopting smart local development policies can usher in better broadband options. By creating ‘dig once’ policies, Mesa was able to install fiber or fiber conduit every time a road was opened for other construction services, both public and private,” Zimmer said. “Over 10 years, this slowly extended fiber throughout the city, making a public fiber backbone available to private providers that wanted to serve new neighborhoods with a low up-front construction cost,” he added. “This is a low-cost approach that shares construction costs and is less expensive than smart grid approaches like Chattanooga.” For Goodyear to adopt a similar approach, locals would need to get involved and push for it, Zimmer said. “Convincing politicians that the internet is essential for economic development is often challenging, but those that are convinced see big gains for the local economy,” he added.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Telephone scams Editor: It really disappoints me to have to write this letter during the holiday season, but I feel compelled. It seems like the Medicare and Social Security fraudsters are out in full force during this time of giving. Not only have they resorted to bogus telephone calls, somehow using 480 numbers on the caller ID, but they even pirate local names to the caller ID. They have also made their way onto Craigslist. Social Security and Medicare are under attack, prompting the acting inspector general of Social Security to issue a fraud warning two weeks ago. Here’s his warning: “The Office of Inspector General (OIG) continues to receive reports from across the country about fraudulent phone calls from people claiming to be from SSA. Recent reports have indicated that unknown callers are using increasingly threatening language in these calls. The callers state, due to improper or illegal activity with a citizen’s Social Security number (SSN) or account, a citizen will be arrested or face other legal action if they fail to call a provided phone number to address the issue. This is a scam; citizens should not engage with these calls or provide any personal information. “Unfortunately, scammers will try anything to mislead and harm innocent people, including scaring them into thinking something is wrong with their Social Security account and they might be arrested. The OIG recently warned that some of these impersonation calls have ‘spoofed’ SSA’s national customer service phone number, displaying 1-800-772-1213 as the incoming number on caller ID. The Acting Inspector General urges citizens to avoid providing information such as your SSN or bank account numbers to unknown persons over the phone or internet unless you are certain of who is receiving it. If you receive a suspicious call from someone alleging to be from SSA, you should report that information to the OIG at 1-800-269-0271 or online as https:// oig.ssa.gov/report.” The fact is that similar calls are being made in the name of Medicare, and the annoying robocalls are at epidem-
ic levels during this season of giving. I have talked to dozens of Medicare-age people during the last two months who have discussed the problem. In fact, I talked to one lady a few weeks ago who said she is receiving up to five calls a day from a 480 prefix offering free Medicare supplies, some of them tantalizingly expensive. Of course she doesn’t answer them, but they are nevertheless quite annoying. One reason for concern with Medicare enrollees is recently (about four months ago) Arizonians began receiving new Medicare cards without the Social Security number on them. Although it is a great move, it can lead to confusion and possibly doubt when scammers start in. And I thought we were done with this one, but it still is being worked. Ten years ago I was made aware of the bogus calls that come from “a grandson” stating, “Grandma/ grandpa, I am in jail in Canada for a DUI I got last night, and need you to send $800 to such and such a number/place.” Unfortunately, one of the ladies I visited had sent the money. It was obviously just a fraud. I suppose this has been going on right along, but I wasn’t aware it was still being used until a lady reported to me that she had received such a call just a month ago, and had ignored it. So, the scam technique is still alive and well with perhaps a new set of grandparents being tested. As I said at the beginning, it disappoints me to write such a letter during Americans’ greatest giving season, but when the inspector general sends such a depressing message, older Americans have to be on their sharpest lookout. Ken Kelley Waddell
Gender politics and diversity Editor: Gender politics and diversity are causing our nation to fall behind in the race for a strong national defense. We as a nation are obsessed with gender politics and diversity. Our antagonists, being the Russians and Chinese, are playing for keeps. We are not. Other nations will soon pass us in technology, and when that
happens we are going to be in peril. The Chinese and Russians promote and use the brightest of their citizens to advance their technology. The Chinese also steal our technology big time. These two nations do not play gender politics with their development and research. They train and use the most qualified people, regardless of gender. Diversity to them is inventing as many different types of nuclear weapons as possible – to some day use against us. The problem is coming from industry as well as academia. Recently, a Google executive took exception to the company’s diversity policy and was promptly fired. James Damore was the engineer who wrote a 10-page memo arguing for less emphasis on gender. He was promptly dismissed. In America’s universities, students are being taught to hate anyone who disagrees with their point of view. That is why free speech is denied to almost any conservative speaker. Progressive educators continue to indoctrinate students with the idea that America is a flawed and racist nation. These educators teach that America is a bad nation. Instead of Mueller investigating the false narrative of Trump colluding with the Russians, he would better serve the country investigating those promoting gender politics and diversity, because it is this group that is doing real damage to the nation. I think when Putin sees how this nation is hurting and weakening itself, investigating false narratives thus undermining the president, and kissing the feet of the politically correct gods, he will surely laugh his
butt off thinking, “How stupid can those Americans be?” Roy Azzarello Goodyear
Unity vs. diversity Editor: What is it to be? E. Pluribus Unum (one from many) or celebrate diversity (many from one)? Our founding fathers struggled with the problems of 13 independent British colonies and decided unity was better than diversity. They worked hard to form the Articles of Confederation and, after the American Revolution, worked even harder to establish a national government and unite the separate American colonies. As Alexander Hamilton phrased it in Federalist Paper No. 84, the proposed constitution to unite the states is “intended to regulate the general political interest of the nation” rather than regulate “every species of personal and private concern.” Or, as Ben Franklin put it: “We must all hang together, or most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.” These far-sighted individuals so opposed disunity and divisiveness that they incorporated the motto “E. Pluribus Unum” into the great seal of the United States of America, and that motto still appears today on the reverse side of our $1 bill. This concept of unity was carried forward through the Civil War, and millions of immigrants were encouraged to assimilate into the majority culture of the re-United States of America, learn English and become

For us transplants, home is where the heart is By David Leibowitz
When does a place become home? The question occurs to you as you pack your suitcase, another airplane departure a few hours away. You are headed back east to celebrate the holiday in the house where you grew up, around the nicked, wooden kitchen table with the television set no doubt blaring in the background. Jake, once your parents’ dog, now your dad’s alone, will beg for scraps at every meal. The house on Dahlia Drive in south Florida was home once, for most of your life. It was where your family moved from New York, the place you came home to on college spring breaks and for your two weeks off from so many jobs. “When are you coming home?” your mother would ask. Or you’d send your high school buddies a text message: “I’ll be home in a couple weeks!” Then, at some indeterminate moment in time, your sense of home shifted. The Valley and Arizona won out.

the place you call home. More than 70 percent of Arizona’s population comes from someplace else, another state, another nation. We are a disparate people, without the roots and bonds of many other states. For the natives, the Valley is always home, the place where they’re from. The rest of us adopt this place – we choose it even as it chooses us. Maybe for some people who call the Valley home, it’s always a way station, a temporary stopping point on the way to elsewhere. But for most of us, Arizona eventually becomes home. Maybe not on Day One, or during the first year or decade, but eventually. The exact moment doesn’t matter. The end result is the thing. So, you pack up a suitcase and head out to Sky Harbor. As you lock the door behind you, you think about how happy you’ll be to get back home – to the place that has a permanent claim on your life, your brain, your heart.

Letters...continued from page 11 just plain Americans instead of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, African-Americans, etc. This attitude continued through most of the 20th century, until recently, when it became fashionable to promote “diversity.” Our educational and union leaders, such as the presidents of our state-run universities and the State Bar of Arizona, now tell us it is a core function of these groups to promote diversity and they are setting up a dean/committee of diversity. But, they do not tell us what these commissars of diversity will do. Will it be their job to diversify the faculty, the student body and the members of the State Bar? Will they regulate admission to programs on the basis of race, gender, etc., in order to achieve “balance?” Will they impose racial quotas (goals) on the football and basketball teams, or allow coaches to continue to recruit players on the basis of individual merit? Will they diversify the deans and assistant deans of our law schools – all, or most, of whom appear to be of the same gender? Obviously, all of this politically correct talk about diversity contradicts the basic purpose of our founding fathers and the constitutions of the United States and Arizona. Diversity fosters and promotes discrimination, envy and unfair treatment, and contributes to a color-conscious society rather than a color-blind, united state. Clearly, unity is better than diversity, and those who promote diversity are undercutting the fabric of our society. James Madison in the Federalist No. 10 warned us of the dangers of diversity (factions): “so strong is this propensity of mankind to fall into mutual animosities, that where no substantial occasion presents itself, the most frivolous and fanciful distinctions have been sufficient to kindle their unfriendly passions, and excite their most violent conflicts.” It would be a shame for this state and country to survive a Civil War and endure for over 200 years as a unified society, avoiding factions, and then fall apart into “the most violent conflicts” solely in the name of a radical politically correct notion called “diversity.” Ed Kahn LCDR-JAG USNR Ret.

Male privilege Editor and Donald Baranowski: Mr. Baranowski, thanks for your letter. I commend your reading of an opposing perspective and applaud your concern for starving people. However, I encourage you to stretch your compassion. You decry Americans for going soft and playing the victim. I agree. The “Greatest Generation” didn’t save the world from fascism by whining about whether store clerks gave the appropriate holiday greeting or athletes knelt during the anthem. But the effects of sexism aren’t just hurt feelings. When subordinates yelled or opposing counsel asked for coffee, they mistook me for a secretary, assuming I wasn’t a lawyer. Imagine how that impacted my ability to direct the work of those I supervised and negotiate with opposing counsel. Authority and power are severely diminished by sexism. Compare my husband’s experiences. From his first semester in nursing school, he was routinely mistaken for a doctor and treated by staff/patients with more respect than his female professors. Even now, patients berate female nurses more frequently than my husband. When he goes to supervisors with a complaint/suggestion, it is more likely to be taken seriously – not dismissed as merely whining. Although he is a wonderful RN, we both acknowledge his awesomeness is not the sole reason for this disparity. In his prior accounting career, his female boss took him to high-level meetings to learn. She gave presentations, but other managers asked my husband follow-ups. They mistook him for the manager and thought she worked for him. By virtue of gender, men often are able to parlay greater respect into professional advancement while the lack of such gender privilege hinders the ability of women to do the same. I hope this explanation helps. In closing, you lumped me in with “(t)oday’s generation.” As someone who soon qualifies for AARP membership, I appreciate your casting me as a young person.

Hickman’s Family Farms lawsuit Editor: Years ago, I stood looking over a hillside in Colorado talking with a representative from one of the largest, most well-known environmental special in-
terest groups. At stake was a cleanup project that was going to cost taxpayers more than $54 million. Privately, the representative admitted the cleanup was unnecessary, but he made it very clear that would not be their public position. Their goal was to make the operation of the facility cost prohibitive and force its relocation. They were ultimately successful. As I read the article about the allegations of environmental emissions against Hickman Family Farms, I get that same pit in my stomach as I did years ago. Once again, I see a special interest group riding in on a Trojan horse. The article fails to tell the real story until its final paragraphs. Emissions studies show the company did nothing wrong. Isn’t that the lead of the story? I have to wonder what the real driver is here. Is the chicken farm becoming inconvenient to Tonopah’s latest growth plans? Something smells here and it is not just the chicken dung. Hickman’s has been a fixture on the west side for decades. They are one of our state’s finest business stories. They are problem solvers who instead of putting their efforts into PR programs do meaningful things for the community. They are quiet leaders. Their employment program for reformed criminals is a model for the country and speaks directly
13
to the heart of the company. They are tireless participants in the community, not just delivering money to local charities but also the time and resources of their people. Casting them as anything other than a business that understands what it means to be part of the fabric of a community is dead wrong. Hickman’s Family Farms is an Arizona success story of which we all should be proud. They are a model, not a monster as some would like you to believe. To the residents complaining, chicken farms come with lots of chicken dung. Tying up a good business because they are inconvenient to your barbeque is wrong. Chicken dung is stinky, but I submit to you that in this case there is no confusion – both the chicken and the egg came first! Beth Jordan How to get a letter published 250 N.

Business Briefcase
By Connor Dziawura
Good day, readers! I’m back, but this week is going to be a bit more focused on one area. Previously, I offered developments ranging from remodeled LA Fitness gyms to the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce, a nanobrewery and more, all spanning the West Valley View’s five main cities of coverage. This week, however, there is much to discuss in Goodyear – and it’s not even all of it. So, let’s just get a little start on digging into those before rounding out with another notable item in the city of Litchfield Park. Here’s the news! First, a reader pointed out the Carl’s Jr. at 13837 W. McDowell Road, Goodyear, on the southeast corner of Litchfield and McDowell roads, has closed. Well, I reached out to the city and confirmed the franchisee is no longer operating there. New tenants are sought for the freestanding drive-thru building, according

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | DECEMBER 19, 2018
to a Phoenix Commercial Advisors site sheet provided by the city. Representatives for Carl’s Jr. have not responded to the West Valley View’s request for comment. I have also been asked about a future Del Taco at The Market at Estrella Falls in the past, and I now finally have some info. Though representatives for the company never responded to the West Valley View’s requests for comment, the city has now confirmed the company plans to open the new drive-thru location later this month or early next month. It will be north of the northeast corner of McDowell Road and Pebble Creek Parkway in Goodyear. Del Taco needs no introduction at this point, but if you so desire, menu details are available at deltaco.com. A new Hubbard Family Swim School is poised to open at The
Market at Estrella Falls sometime next year, too. A reader mentioned this, so I did some reaching out and was told by co-founder Bob Hubbard that progress is on track, with a spring opening planned. Hubbard said his company will occupy the space between Staples and Dollar Tree. Right now, it’s in the design phase, he said. For more information, visit hubbardswim.com. For the coffee fiends, a new Starbucks is coming to Goodyear, too. A bit further out, this one will open in the second quarter of next year, in the Cobblestone Creek development on Pebble Creek Parkway, north of McDowell Road. At 2,400 square feet, the new Starbuck’s will have a 300-square-foot outdoor patio. But what sets this one apart from others

To round this week out, let’s switch over to Litchfield Park, shall we? In October, I mentioned how Haircutters in the Park moved from its Litchfield Park location to The Market at Estrella Falls in Goodyear.

Cotton Lane Resort called a ‘caring’ community By Connor Dziawura
Cotton Lane Resort resident Sherry Fitzgerald calls her community exactly that – a community. “Everyone takes care of everyone, looks out for everyone. They’re very friendly. We have a lot of Midwest people. We have of people from Washington. We have a few Canadians,” said Fitzgerald, who also works for the dealer and owners. “It’s a very caring community.” The Goodyear community – located at 17506 W. Van Buren Street, near the Loop 303 and I-10, west of Cotton Lane – is a resort-like community featuring manufactured homes and RVs for adults ages 55 and older. Developed by repeat Manufactured Housing Institute Manufacturer of the Year Cavco Industries, with Westgate Homes serving as the dealer, Cotton Lane Resort has more than 436 lots, though Fitzgerald said more are in the works. She estimated around 70 full-time residents live in Cotton Lane. Aside from plans to increase the lot count in the coming year or two, other revamps since ownership changed

nearly two years ago are street paving, a wall around the property and a refreshed golf course, the latter of which Fitzgerald called “gorgeous.” “It’s a very clean resort. It’s been completely revamped in the last year and a half,” she said after explaining that she and other residents are attracted to the community because of its location and safety. It’s also affordable, she said. “Now we’re adding 3,200 square

feet to the clubhouse, making more room because we’re bringing in manufactured homes faster than the blink of the eye.” With a volunteer group leading the way, events are aplenty, she said. They include water aerobics to card games, bocce ball, pickleball, shuffleboard and sewing/knitting. The community has an activity hall and library as well as games like darts and billiards and pet-friendly areas, according to the community’s website. There is also an indoor heated swimming pool, a hot tub, barbecue area, exercise and laundry rooms and a par-3 golf course, Fitzgerald said. The community is located in a bustling part of Goodyear. Nearby, residents will find everything from retail stores to restaurants, auto stores, a gym, grocery stores and much more.

Love You a Latte Shop officiated its move from online sales to a brick-and-mortarshopinGoodyear earlier this month. The store sells a wide variety of handmade items and knick-knacks, from hand towels to coffee mugs and candles. In addition to original product, Love

Heading north, residents have quick access to the Loop 303 and I-10. A little farther southeast is Goodyear Ballpark and Phoenix Goodyear Airport. A point of contention, though, according to Fitzgerald, is the perception of manufactured homes. She feels many people are skeptical and don’t know the truth about them or how they’re built. Fitzgerald said manufactured homes are built like a custom house but in a controlled environment, with cookie cutter-like precision. Materials have improved and they are more fire retardant.

Millennium girls’ basketball topples Gilbert in battle of 5A powerhouses Locked at 31-31 at the end of the third quarter, Millennium had a quick start to the fourth quarter including Newman’s dagger of a three-pointer to give her team its largest lead of the game at seven points with 3 minutes remaining. Both teams started the night in a shooting slump, an unusual likelihood given both schools’ ability to routinely shoot its competition out of the gym on any given night. In Gilbert’s last four games, they have averaged 84 points per game, while Millennium was scoring 87.4 points per game spanning its last five contests.

By Griffin Fabits
Thirteen female athletes from Millennium High School pledged to continue playing in college by recently signing national letters of intent. Of them, seven are volleyball players. Several athletes spoke to the West Valley View regarding their decisions. Senior Alana Rennie, a UA beach volleyball commit, is thrilled to play at a Division I school. “I love the big sports atmosphere in Tucson,” Rennie said. “I wanted to play with and against the best, and I know I can do that in the Pac-12.” Rennie orchestrated a three-year varsity tenure with the Tigers spanning 564 kills, 302 digs and 105 blocks. Kiana Miyazato, a 13-goal scorer for the Tigers her junior year, signed with NAU. She’s been instrumental in Millennium’s 2-0 start this season, already collecting three goals and two assists. “I chose to commit to NAU because it’s a competitive, Division I program that is close to home which offers my major, biomedical sciences,” she said. “I’ve never lived in a city with four seasons, so I’m looking forward to that. I’m also excited to meet new people, make new friends and start the next chapter of my life.” Joining Miyazato in Flagstaff next fall is teammate Megan Kirker, who’s netted four goals in two games this year. “I was looking to get out of the hot weather, while not going too far from home, so NAU seemed perfect. I was offered money for my education to play the sport I love, so it seemed like an obvious choice,” the
four-year varsity starter said. Makaya Middleton compiled two impressive seasons with Millennium’s varsity volleyball squad, parlaying into a commitment to The Citadel in South Carolina. “I chose to commit to The Citadel because it was a military school, and I wanted to follow my father’s footsteps and go to the Air Force. Hopefully I can reach a level in the military where my father would salute me,” she said. Middleton notched 276 kills in 109 sets played during her senior campaign. Middleton’s fellow volleyball teammate Bailey Schlosser pledged to Adams State University after three seasons at the varsity level. Her senior year saw her reach a career-best 26 kills and a 53.1 kill percentage. “I chose to commit there because the campus was gorgeous, and the coaches and the team made me feel at home. I also love the weather and the community involvement with the school. I’m so excited to start my new journey,” Schlosser said. Other commits include Danielle Falcon (South Mountain Community College, softball), Sedona Sherman (University of the Pacific, volleyball), Ashley Antoniak (Seattle Pacific University, volleyball), Rylee Johnson (Fort Lewis College, volleyball), Nicole Hoff (Long Beach State University, volleyball), Alexyss Newman (Eastern Washington University, basketball), Shyann Heredia (Pima Community College, basketball) and Dominique Phillips (University of Nevada Reno, basketball).

Hemp Gummies Offer Amazing Relief That Tastes So Good Hemp Gummies offer users fast acting relief from joint and muscle discomfort that’s absolutely delicious; now available in the U.S. without a prescription Chris Laufstein Associated Health Press BOSTON — For millions battling daily discomfort, this news couldn’t be more exciting. A new relief extract found in hemp is available across the nation and can be purchased without a prescription. And the best part, it comes to users in the form of a tasty gummy bear. So you can say goodbye to pills, needles, and creams! Hemp Gummies, contains pure concentrated doses of hemp extract, which can help relieve joint discomfort along with general muscle aches and soreness. It also calms, relaxes, and eases tension all over the body. Exciting new scientific research shows that hemp extract contains special relief molecules called cannabinoids which bind to receptor cites in the brain and body. When taken orally, hemp extract activates these receptors, and soothing comfort begins to take form.
Available Across the Nation Recent developments, like the US Farm Bill, allow Hemp Gummies to be sold in the U.S. without a prescription. And since it can’t get you high it’s flying off the shelves. “Most people have no idea that pure hemp extract, like Hemp Gummies, can be purchased. And that’s because it contains no THC,” explains Dr. Joe Wezensky, who sits on the scientific board at Medici Quest. “Instead, it’s bursting with special relief compounds called cannabinoids. These cannabinoids target special receptor cites all over the body but are most prominent in the brain.” “This system of cannabinoids and the receptors that they bind to are called the Endocannabinoid System and science is just now unlocking its amazing medical potential” “In fact, the initial research has been so impressive that hemp extract is now patented by the US Government (patent #6,630,507).” “It’s also being used by athletes in the NFL, MMA among other physically demanding sports as a safe alternative.”
Clearing Up the Confusion Around Hemp One of the biggest mistakes people make when talking about hemp extract is mixing it up with marijuana. Although the two fall under the same plant category, cannabis sativa, they have completely different effects on the body. Remarkably, hemp extract is available in the U.S. and can’t get you high (ever!). That’s because there is no THC in it, the chemical that makes you feel “buzzed”.
“Although you can’t get high from Hemp Gummies, you can start feeling the effective relief,” explains Wezensky. “Most people have very low cannabinoid levels, which is why they constantly ache. Hemp Gummies boosts cannabinoid levels extremely fast, helping relieve lingering joint discomfort ...muscle tension...and general soreness. It also eases stress and elicits amazing relaxation without feeling impaired. And what most people really love is they’re delicious and so easy to take on the go.
How it Works Clinical studies show that cannabinoids and the receptors that they bind to are found all over your body. However, they are most concentrated in your brain. That’s why it has such a profound impact on how you feel, especially your level of comfort. These cannabinoids and their receptors work like “lock and key” and bind to each other triggering important biological processes.
Hemp Extract, like Hemp Gummies, may help users with... • Aching joints • Sore muscles • Cramping • Leg and foot discomfort • Restlessness • Stress • Sleep problems Keeps Your Body Balanced... The incredible impact cannabinoids have on your health is directly related to the primary goal of your Endocannabinoid System, which is to maintain a balance in the body, a physiological state known as homeostasis. Research shows that maintaining this balance is a key to vitality and healthy bodily function. The cannabinoids found in Hemp Gummies, hemp extract, replenish your levels quickly, easing discomfort over the entire body. Plus, by keeping your body in balance (homeostasis), Hemp Gummies also helps to relieve stress and tension... improve sleep... and even promote relaxation and calmness.

Taking All the Risk Off Consumers A large percentage of men and women using Hemp Gummies experience truly amazing results. That’s why it’s now being sold with a guarantee that goes way beyond the industry standard. “We can only make this guarantee because we are 100% certain our customers will be satisfied,” says Wezensky. We want to take full risk off consumers. So in addition to offering substantial discounts for first time customers, we also make them a huge promise that ensures they don’t have to risk a cent.” Here’s how it works: Take Hemp Gummies exactly as directed and you must be thrilled with the results!

Hanukkah message: There’s no room for darkness By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski
Rabbi Berel Zaklikofsky’s message at the Chabad Jewish Center of Goodyear’s annual Hanukkah celebration was one of light and positivity. His sentiment was shared December 2 outside of Osborne Jewelers where his congregation was joined by city officials and other families. “It was very special, thanks to our hostess and her husband, Joanne and Kenny Osborne,” Zaklikofsky said. “It was very special to hear a few words from Joanne. The mayor (Georgia Lord) shared a few words. We feel blessed every time she comes. We saw a lot of new friends and faces, and a lot of regulars. Every year it’s something special.” Zaklikofsky said he honored those who were killed at L’Simcha, or Tree of Life, Congregation in Pittsburgh on October 27. “Our light has overpowered,” he said. “We need it now more than ever. That is the message of Hanukkah – to remind us where we are, where we stand, and light is something we need. We have it with Hanukkah. “A couple people at the event were from Pittsburgh. They were there with their children. They stood beside me as I said the prayer. I told them it (the shooting) wasn’t a few weeks ago. It happened yesterday. I made a point of saying that because it’s not like we’re getting over this. We’re not. We’re standing up and being the light to everyone around us, being strong and united as a family. That was the message.”
The Hanukkah celebration featured a menorah with more than 30,000 coins. “The message has one of charity,” he said. “If it only had one or two coins, it would be empty but it makes a lot of noise. More and more of the noise goes away as we added coins, but the message was still clear. Every penny, every dime makes a difference. It’s a beautiful gift. “There are so many messages with Hanukkah, but that is the message of light. Light can always fit in and overpower and overcome darkness. There’s never a place for darkness. There’s always room for light.” The Chabad Jewish Center of Goodyear Cheryl Lurie, Colby Lurie, Jake Lurie and Brody Lurie take part in Hanukkah festivities at Osborne Jewelers in Goodyear.

‘StoryRise’ brings poetry workshop, performance to Goodyear By West Valley View staff
StoryRise Goodyear, a spoken-word workshop and concert for adults, will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday, January 3, at the Goodyear Branch Library, 14455 W. Van Buren. The “Finding Narratives in Your Poetry” workshop for all artists begins at 6 p.m., followed by the foradults, outdoor spoken-word performance at 7 p.m. Interested parties may attend either or both free-of-
charge events. This performance is not intended for children. The workshop leader and a featured performer is Tom’s J. Stanton. The co-founder of Phoenix’s premiere youth spoken-word ensemble, Phonetic Spit, Tom’s uses hip-hop pedagogy to inspire youth to boldly express themselves through poetry, dance and theater. His work and teaching style are rooted in his childhood experiences of poverty and single-parent household, political issues, identity and love.
“Goodyear Arts & Culture is always expanding to explore new avenues for artistic expression,” said Guylene Ozlanski, Goodyear’s arts and culture coordinator. “StoryRise brings the audience face to face with artists to experience a ‘moment’ through the medium of storytelling.” Sean Buvala, of The Small-ToothDog Publishing Group, directs the production. “We want to be sure that folks understand this is not a children’s
event,” Buvala said. “We don’t suggest anyone under age 13 attend these events.” StoryRise returns for the 20182019 season, sponsored by the Goodyear Arts and Culture Commission and The Small-Tooth-Dog Publishing Group, presenting five nights of adult storytelling and hands-on workshops for all performing artists. StoryRise is held on the first Thursday of each month through March. For more information, visit storyrise.com.

Ahipoki partners with the Coyotes for fundraiser By West Valley View staff
Ahipoki and the Arizona Coyotes have teamed to raise money for the hockey team’s foundation that supports nonprofits promoting health care, education and cultural arts programs for children and servicemen and women. Throughout December, Ahipoki will donate $3 to the Arizona Coyotes Foundation from sales of its new Kalua pork bowl. The pork bowl gives customers a new protein option in addition to the seafood menu. Ahipoki staff recommends serving this authentic Kalua pork from Hawaii over rice, topped with
pineapple, jalapenos, pickled radish, green onions and drizzled with eel sauce. It can be customized, though. Customers will also be able to donate at the register to the Coyotes Foundation, write their name on a Howler card and place on the wall. An Ahipoki is located at Park 10,
10321 W. McDowell Road, Avondale. For more information, call 623242-9613 or visit ahipokibowl.com. At Ahipoki, health-conscious fish lovers can enjoy the fusion of Japanese and Hawaiian flavors coupled with a fresh fish experience normally found outside of a quick-serve restaurant. Ahipoki recently partnered with Levy and the Gila River Arena for the 2018-2019 NHL season offering a healthy dining option for concertgoers and Coyotes fans at the Gila River Arena in section 118. The brand was recently named by USA Today one of the Top 10 Places to Eat Poke in the country. “Giving back to the community is
important to us and what better way than to partner with the Arizona Coyotes Foundation,” said Michael Zimmerman, Ahipoki managing partner. “We’ve been warmly welcomed by fans and staff at the Gila River Arena and look forward to a long relationship.” “Ahipoki is a great partner and we appreciate their help with this fundraising initiative to enrich our community,” added Coyotes President and CEO Ahron Cohen. “We encourage Coyotes fans to visit an Ahipoki restaurant in December to support Ahipoki and the Arizona Coyotes Foundation.”

Garden Lakes inspiring student achievement through STEAM By Connor Dziawura
Student achievement and interest in education is up at Garden Lakes Elementary School in Avondale, and the district may have its science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) program to thank for it, according to district officials. This is the third year of STEAM’s implementation at Garden Lakes, said Principal Jill Helland. A K-8 school, it has a STEAM program for seventh and eighth graders, though the popular educational curriculum extends its reach in some ways throughout the rest of the school’s curriculum. Most Pendergast Elementary School District campuses have STEAM programs, and the district’s eventual goal is to continue the program’s growth. “Being in classrooms like that has really helped lower the discipline problems because kids are engaged and love it,” Pendergast spokeswoman Nedda Shafir said. “Achievement has been unbelievable.” The district calls its STEAM programs “academies.” Garden Lakes has a design-and-build focus. Other schools’ academies range from environmental engineering to computer science, sustainable design, agriculture ecosystems and beyond. Shafir likens the schools’ focuses to “careers of the future,” though she clarified choosing one doesn’t mean the youngsters have made a lifelong commitment to the topic. According to a document detailing the various schools’ academies, the design-and-build focus “develops

21st century skills,” utilizing problem solving, project-based challenges, computer software and design challenges. Also available are 3D printers and traditional modeling materials. “It’s very engaging, using this project-based learning,” Helland said. “They’re still teaching the grade-level standards, but they’re just going a lot deeper. It’s meaningful to what the students learn about in their lives. It gets them excited about possible future professions in any of those areas.” She added, “It’s really rigorous, but the kids are so excited and interested in what they’re learning. It’s not just this math for math’s sake, it’s math for figuring out how to design and build, and it’s really exciting.” Seventh grader Connor Scarry is studying robotics in a class taught by seventh grade STEAM and social studies teacher Stefani Jenkins. “Two of my older sisters did STEAM and I like the STEAM because it provides an extra challenge to do … I heard my sister always bragging that she got to do special products and stuff,” said Scarry, who noted he enjoys the challenge of the program, which he says provides skills that are applicable outside of school. According to Jenkins, they use the engineering design process as a backbone while creating robots that must serve a function. Students choose from a variety of designs and follow instructions on their laptops. Then the robots compete in an obsta-
cle course. “I think it’s super cool because we also got to do obstacle courses, where we just finished building one – my team won, by the way,” Scarry said slyly. “We got to build one and it was like picking up cups and stuff. If you didn’t build your robot right it would show because if it started malfunctioning and the time already started, you can’t control anything like that. It’s just super cool. I like building stuff.” Jenkins, who is a national board-certified teacher, said the idea is to teach kids not everything can be perfect, all while still learning to solve problems and succeed when things don’t work out at first. The end goals, she said, are thinking, problem solving and having fun. In the end, hard work and effort is proven. She noted the essentiality of robotics in modern society, though there are other classes focusing on projects such as building sleds; constructing cinder block benches, sewing pillows and installing artificial grass for an outdoor learning space; and working in the school’s greenhouse. “One of the biggest things, kind of like the underlying factor for all of our projects, is really about collaboration,” she explained. “Learning to work with others is essential for something like this, because it’s such a detail-oriented process that they have to talk to each other and communicate.” Cindy Wiste, Pendergast’s assistant director of math, science and STEAM, said, “The thing that Stefani does so masterfully is helps them understand they’re not just involved in specific or general activities. They’re actually paying attention to the critical pieces
of the lessons when you hear them talking back. And I will say from an instructional point of view, that’s part of what we are so proud of.” A diverse group of students, according to Helland and Wiste, the program attracts anyone ranging from high achievers to low achievers and everywhere in between. An all-inclusive program, any interested students can enroll – in or out of the district. Shafir noted the school frequently grants variances to families interested in different programs. “The kids have life-altering experiences,” Wiste said. “There was a kid who said ‘I had no interest in water and now I want to be an environmental engineer’ at grade seven. So, it’s just really, really exciting.” Student achievement is up as well as teachers’. “The other thing that I think it speaks to, and this is more towards the adult edge, but I believe it helps with our teacher retention because our teachers are passionate about what they’re teaching,” Wiste added. “They want to be in the program, they have some autonomy in regard to how they design their lessons for their curriculum, and I think it’s just really good that they have the opportunity to dive in with the students and work through that.” Full-service construction management company GCON sponsors Garden Lakes’ design-and-build program. Tiffany Fisher, GCON’s community partner, said Pendergast Superintendent Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux has big goals. The two connected through Leadership West, and Fisher expressed a desire to partner and make a difference, while DeBlieux envisioned STEAM academies. That proved to be an entry point for the collaboration. “One of the biggest things we’re seeing in our industry now is construction is oftentimes misunderstood. It’s always thought of as not necessarily a career but more of a job,” Fisher said. “We’d love to change that vision and get a hold of these kids young and let them understand there’s amazing careers that come through construction, from the architecture side to the engineering side to the skilled traits.” So, the company has helped with renovations and other refreshers of the school, from the conversion of an old bus to an escape room and an old stor-

age room to a functioning STEAM classroom. Jenkins’ classroom has a wall that shows the inner workings and various architectural materials that can be used, while another wall has a mural that shows students architecture isn’t simply homes, but it can be as awe-inspiring as high-rise buildings. The school also has state-of-theart equipment like 3D printers. Helland noted the two entities are true “partners” – it’s not a one-anddone renovation deal – while Fisher noted a desire of her company to serve as mentors to the students. Aside from GCON helping with various construction projects, it has helped provide field trips and frequent guest speakers at Garden Lakes. “We’re a Title I district. We don’t always have those opportunities, so when we bring people in or we take our kids on field trips, it opens up a whole new world for them, and that’s what we want, them to start thinking about their futures,” Shafir explained. “It’s about thinking about college, career readiness, things like that, to get excited about their futures. And these are the opportunities that make that happen.”

Teens paint veteran’s home as a day of service By Lauren Twigg
Avondale Youth Advisory Commission delegates and the Avondale Police Explorers teamed up for a day of service to paint a veteran’s home in Historic Avondale. The two groups painted the home’s exterior to finish rehabilitation work started by the city’s Neighborhood and Family Services Department Housing and Community Development Substantial and Emergency Home Repair programs, as well as assistance through Maricopa County’s Weatherization Program. Built in 1935, the home was gutted, and received new windows, doors, flooring, drywall, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, siding, fixtures, cabinets, countertops and fixtures. While it may seem as though painting a house is a menial task, for Litzy Hernandez, youth commission chairwoman and Agua Fria High School senior, this served a much bigger purpose. “Sometimes the smallest act of kindness can be enough to make a
difference in someone’s life,” Hernandez said. “For AYAC, our service projects are a way in which we give back to our community because we care about the place in which we live, and we want to make it a great place.” The task gave the youth volunteers a sense of pride in giving back to the community and finding a way to thank and recognize those who served. “For me, and I believe I can speak on behalf of everyone else involved, it is just a small way for us to say thank you for his service to our country,” Hernandez said.

Tips for Having a Great Garage Sale! 1. Sort through your closets, cupboards and garage for items to sell. 2. Partner up with a neighbor or friend. This is helpful to give each other breaks during the day. 3. Advertise your sale — ask us for our Yard Sale Special! 4. In your ad include the type of sale, (e.g., Yard Sale, Multi-Family Sale), date, time, address/cross streets, and be specific on prices for high dollar items. Popular items you can include: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, yard equipment, designer/ children’s clothes and shoes, craft items, antiques, unique items and collectibles/ collections. 5. Place signs on major cross streets and on the corners leading into your neighborhood. Just a fat, solid black arrow on colorful poster board works fine. 6. Price your items. If having a Multi-Family sale, each family should have a different colored price tag. You can do a $1 table, $5 table, etc., to save time. 7. Money. Be prepared with change, including coins. Do not accept checks. Cash only! 8. Have electricity available to test items. 9. Be safe. Do not let anyone into your home. Take your phone outside with you Have an extra person relieve you occasionally.
FALL/WINTER SPECIALS Accepting all major credit cards. Licensed & Insured
10. If it’s warm, offer cold bottled water for sale to cool off your customers! Happy customers buy things!
623-522-9322
11. After the sale, remove your signs and donate leftover items to a local charity.
