Communities give life and personality to the West Valley By Carrie Snider and Taylor O’Connor

elcome to the West Valley! As you settle into your new space here, you’re in good company. The West Valley is home to some of the fastest-growing cities in the country—and for good reason. It’s filled with warm weather, fun activities and plenty of opportunities for employment and retirement. First, a bit of geography. The “Valley,” or Phoenix metro area, includes all of the cities from east to downtown to west. When some people refer to “West Phoenix,” they may be talking about areas still quite close to downtown. A clear distinction about the West Valley, however, is its core cities from east to west: Tolleson, Avondale, Glendale, Peoria, Litchfield Park, Goodyear and Buckeye. While each of those seven cities is distinct in its own way, collectively they are very close. Thankfully, there are freeways to help you get around quickly, including I-10, the Loop 101 and the Loop 303. Additionally, the Loop 202 is under construction and will open soon, offering another option when you’re heading to the East Valley. Here’s a bit more info to get you familiar with the different areas of the

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

West Valley: • Tolleson is immediately west of the Phoenix city limits and south of I-10. It was incorporated in 1929 and is named for founder W.G. Tolleson. Its population is about 7,000 people. Tolleson’s top employers include JBS Packerland, Americold, PepsiCo, Rousseau Farming Company, Fry’s Food and Drug, and Hillshire Brands. • Avondale is west of Tolleson and extends north and south of I-10. The area was originally known as Coldwater but was changed to Avondale after the Avondale Ranch. The city was incorporated in 1946 and has a population of about 84,000. While there are still cotton and alfalfa fields, much of the area is now populated with homes and shopping. Most recently, the city welcomed The Vitamin Shoppe headquarters, SanMar, Copper Springs Hospital, Welbrook Rehabilitation, Legacy Senior Living and Copper State Rubber. • Goodyear is west of Avondale and is named for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., which owned many cotton fields there to use in its tires. It was incorporated in 1946 and has about 80,000 people. Goodyear is home to the Goodyear Ballpark, where the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds have Spring Training. Some of the main employers include Amazon Fulfillment Center and the Arizona State Prison-Perryville. Goodyear has recently landed a host of new jobs, with the location of Ball manufacturing, Chewy and UPS fulfillment centers, along with Microsoft data centers. • Litchfield Park, located north of Goodyear and Avondale, was founded by Goodyear Tire executive Paul W. Litchfield in 1926. He purchased thousands of acres of cotton for the tire company. The Wigwam was started as a retreat for executives visiting the area and evolved into the resort it is today. The city, which has about 5,500 residents, is home to several historic

churches, homes, schools and a train station. Plus, it resides right next to Luke Air Force Base. • Incorporated in 1929, Buckeye was named after the Buckeye State, the home state of the Buckeye canal’s founder. Because the city was located by the canal, the name stuck. It is home to about 68,000 people, though as one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities with hundreds of square acres of land, Buckeye and its population will likely grow quickly. Buckeye is known for its rural areas, historic downtown and its proximity to outdoor recreation such as Skyline Regional Park. • Glendale is 30 minutes from Phoenix, two hours south of Sedona and a five-hour drive from Los Angeles. Glendale is home to Luke Air Force Base, State Farm Stadium, Westgate Entertainment District and has its historic downtown area. The city was founded in the late 1800s with a current population of about 252,381. With more entertainment facilities and restaurants moving to the area, the population grows with it, too. • Peoria is named after former Union Army officer William J. Murphy, who worked as head of construction on the Arizona Canal. Upon the canal’s completion in 1885, Murphy returned to his home of Peoria, Illinois, to recruit families to move out West; and by 1897 the settlement was named after the Illinois town. Now, its population is 175,961 and offers a variety of activities to do with Spring Training facilities, 60 miles of hiking trails and the P83 Entertainment District. Life is a lot different than it used to be—social distancing protocols are put in place and a lot more hand sanitizer is being used—but these cities still have a lot to offer. Make yourself at home! While the area is growing more populated every day, the mixture of long-time residents and new transplants make for a melting pot of cultures and people who are looking to enjoy life here.

Welcome to Buckeye

The city is a wealth of alfalfa, birds and invested residents By Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce

uckeye was founded in 1888 and incorporated in 1929 as a 400-acre town. The city now sits on 600 square miles, making it, geographically, Arizona’s largest city. The cotton, alfalfa and maize fields are still here, interspersed with housing developments and booming businesses. Buckeye is the country’s fastestgrowing city, according to the 2015 U.S. Census Bureau. Located just 35 miles west of Phoenix, Buckeye is convenient to work, sightseeing and an exciting nightlife, yet far enough away to retain a comfortable small-town feeling. Residents can take advantage of offerings found in a metropolitan city and then return to the quiet comforts of home. Population figures reflect the tremendous growth the city is experiencing. The special Census recorded Buckeye’s population as 83,000 residents. These folks are hugely invested in this community and strive to make it the most ideal place to live, work and raise a family. The growth is not just in residential development. Sundance Towne Center, Sundance Crossing and the Market on Broadway are home to a number of small retail businesses and restaurants, as well as large national retailers, banks and restaurant chains and retail outlets. The southwest corner of Dean and Yuma roads is home to the justice court, Buckeye Police and Fire departments, and the Coyote Branch Library. Educational opportunities include the West-MEC campus, the ASU Entrepreneur Innovation Center and the Grand Canyon University bachelor’s degree program. Estrella Mountain Community College Buckeye Educational Center offers classes in what used to be the original Buckeye Union High School. Every day, more than 75,000 cars travel through Buckeye on Interstate 8

10, making the frontage roads an ideal location for a marketing and/or billboard signage opportunities. The city’s unique partnership with the State Department of Water Resources and Developers determined the ample water supply in the Hassayampa River Basin west of the White Tank Mountains can provide our growing city with water in the future. The Hassayampa River Basin is the largest untapped aquifer in Arizona. HISTORIC MAIN STREET Formerly old U.S. Highway 80, Monroe Avenue is Buckeye’s Historic Main Street. A stretch of the original roadbed is still in use where Monroe Avenue dead-ends into Apache. Old U.S. Highway 80 was originally called the Dixie Overland Highway or the Broadway of America. Before 1926, developers and towns scrambled to be on a coast-to-coast route. The Dixie Overland Highway was the first allyear, coast-to-coast roadway. Because many of these highways shared the same roadbed through parts of the country, people became confused by the colorful names given. In 1926, the federal government stepped in and replaced it with a numerical system. Old U.S. Highway 80 started at Tybee Island, Georgia, and crossed the country entering Arizona near Douglas, continuing through Tucson, Phoenix and Buckeye, south to Gila Bend and exited the state in Yuma. Its western terminus was San Diego. EDUCATION Arizona is a right-to-choose state for education. Parents are provided the right to choose from a wide variety of school options, including public, charter, private, online or home education. Expanding school choice is the single best strategy for improving education for all children and the state of Arizona proudly supports this initiative. The city of Buckeye is no exception.

ENVIRONMENT In spite of the heat and rain, the Sonoran Desert is one of the most diverse ecosystems in North America. Among the wildlife living in the Sonoran Desert are mountain lions, bobcats, javelina, mule deer, coyotes, ring-tailed cats and even bighorn sheep. A wide variety of desert plants ranging from mesquite and Palo Verde trees to brittlebrush and, of course, the mighty saguaro, happily call the desert home. Cactus and creosote flourish, along with a wide array of wildflowers making their annual debut in early spring and again occasionally after the beginning the monsoon. The diversity and quantity of birds migrating through make bird watching one of the most popular activities. In Buckeye, you may see them at Robbin’s Butte Wildlife Area, and White Tank Mountains and Skyline regional parks. WEATHER Living in the surroundings dominated by a desert climate is an adjustment for many new residents. Buckeye sits in a microclimate somewhat different than Phoenix, with less rain than the Phoenix average, higher summer temperatures, cooler winter nights and more days of sunshine. Average spring temperatures range from 48 to 72 F and summer temperatures range from 65 to 108 F. Annual precipitation is 7.6 inches, and the average is 36.4 days with precipitation. The annual sunshine average is 325 days. The monsoon season, which occurs between midJune and mid-September, brings powerful rain and dust storms. Humidity ranges from a record low of 2% to as high as 78%, with the annual average at 50% in the mornings and 23% in the afternoons. July and August are the months of highest afternoon humidity due to monsoon.

Welcome to Peoria

The ‘jewel of the West Valley’ is open for business By Scot Andrews President & CEO Peoria Chamber of Commerce

iving in and calling Peoria home provides a deep sense of pride and appreciation for the decades of leadership, conscientious civic planning and thoughtful economic development that has occurred long before our family relocated here with the Coca-Cola Company 15-plus years ago. It is a privilege to lead the Peoria Chamber of Commerce as president and chief executive officer and represent the “voice of business” in Peoria. As Peoria residents, we enjoy wide open vistas, a burgeoning, vibrant and unique business community amidst amazing amenities such as Lake Pleasant, the P83 district, Old Town Peoria and the exploding Northwest corridor including four corners, Vistancia, Paloma Park and more. The Peoria Chamber of Commerce is an advocate for business, encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit while proudly displaying our patriotism and promoting our diverse community with honor and integrity. The Peoria Chamber, with a membership of over 1,500 businesses, strives to create a climate of growth and business success in which all companies, regardless of size or industry, can prosper and benefit. The Peoria Chamber of Commerce understands that to sustain a strong economic environment you must have a strong community. We are fortunate to have leaders, business owners, educators and citizens who realize that we all share in the responsibility of creating economic success, growth and positive lifestyle within our community. The Peoria Chamber’s primary goal is working to improve the quality of life for all businesses through a support network and commitment and contribution to the community good by its members, volunteers and committees. Our volunteer committees — Peoria Business Alliance, Government 10

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

Affairs and Veterans Affair s— provide leadership, service, support and development for constituents across multiple business sectors from manufacturing, to retail, to health care, to telecommunications and more. We are always seeking leaders and community volunteers to support our business community. We are laser focused on supporting “shop, spend and socialize local.” Our entrepreneurship IQ and associated businesses are truly unique. The strength of a building is in its foundation. The same is true with small business in a community. If the small businesses are healthy and prospering, then jobs, schools and lifestyle are unique, healthy and burgeoning. I think all of us have had good and bad experiences with small businesses. There are in fact “new” ventures or established offerings with changing owners, but the good by far outweighs the bad in Peoria. These are our five reasons I think supporting our small community with your dollars is crucial to our lifestyle, economy and overall quality of life. Originality and Cultural Character: “The uniqueness and personality of local businesses is a reflection of the beliefs, hopes and dreams of the owners and community in which they live.” In a homogenized world, communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character have an economic advantage, lifestyle attractiveness and growth. Community Decision Making, Investment and Sensitivity: “Locally owned businesses focus their solutions, services on their communities and those ever-changing needs relentlessly and with great sacrifice.” They care about causes in the community, their employees who live in the community and seek to give back to the community. Large business, for the most part, doesn’t act local. Local ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.

Economic Contribution to the Local Economy: Chains and national brands typically extract dollars out of the market. And are resistant to invest in charities and local business associations, without corporate red tape. Locally owned businesses channel a large share of their revenue back into the local economy. “Locally owned business is a growth engine for a community if the right balance between regulation and the environment is constructed by municipalities and the economy, jobs, schools and services are the benefactors.” Jobs, Employment Outcomes, Unique Career Path and Wages: Locally owned businesses create more jobs and, in some sectors, provide better wages and benefits than national brands and reginal chains. Individuals benefit from local leadership for providing them career paths, without leaving their home market. “Local businesses tend to care deeply for their employees in a way that larger brands and chains don’t. Employees, in many cases, get operational experience and career pathing opportunities faster than in a larger brand business.” Entrepreneurship & Diversity of Offerings: Healthy entrepreneurship in Peoria and the West Valley reflects economic innovation and prosperity serving as the means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class. A marketplace with many offerings is more competitive and lowers prices. “As a small local business, each has the adaptability to select products/solutions based, not on a national plan or strategy but on the interests, needs, wants and expectations of their local customers. This creates unique buying and social experiences and rich environment for growth. Now more than ever, through this pandemic, our Peoria businesses and the continued health of our community need your dollars and patronage more than ever. Let us not lose what we have worked so hard to create for our community and families.” The Peoria Chamber of Commerce can be reached at memberservices@peoriachamber.com.

Schools & Youth How West Valley schools have accommodated social distancing By Taylor O’Connor

hange is difficult for many, and it can be especially tough on children. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everything, including classrooms. According to the National Association of School Psychologists, parents should stay calm, listen and offer reassurance. Discussing COVID-19 can increase or decrease a children’s fears. The best thing to do is to remind them of all the ways to stay healthy, how and why to social distance, and to stay positive. Parents can also monitor the time children are watching TV or posting on social media. Kids need personal time to talk with their parents. Here are some of the ways area school districts are making these changes. As school continues, each district has its own route to take to apply social distancing, continue teaching and ensure student success. All West Valley districts have a page on their websites dedicated to the 2020-21 school year explaining plans for a safe and successful year. AGUA FRIA HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT Agua Fria high schools resumed remote learning November 9, with one day a week for in-person office hours and extra assistance. Parents can stay up to date on the

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

AFUHSD Parent Hub page, which has links to important information including a remote learning help form, state metrics, online fees, attendance policies and social-emotional learning resources. The school district’s office is located at 1481 N. Eliseo Felix Jr. Way, Avondale. For more information, call (623) 9327000 or visit aguafria.org. BUCKEYE UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT The Buckeye Union High School District resumed distanced learning November 23 and created a COVID-19 page that includes information on free COVID-19 testing sites, meal services, technology, academics and athletics. The district office is located at 1000 E. Narramore Avenue, Buckeye. Call (623) 386-9701 or visit buhsd.org for more information. GLENDALE UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT The Glendale Union High School District sends out announcements with weekly benchmarks for COVID-19 cases and links to the school reopening dashboard and guidance page from Maricopa County. Each high school follows these benchmarks to decide how to conduct distanced learning. Visit the high schools’ pages to learn about specific plans. The district office is at 7650 N. 43rd Avenue, Glendale. Call (623) 435-6000 or visit guhsdaz.org to learn more.

PEORIA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT On December 4, Peoria Unified School District announced that cases for staff and students were approximately .05%. All of the 30 schools had zero active cases. The school district keeps a COVID-19 dashboard to provide information to parents and staff, along with a summary of cases at schools. The district updates this track and information throughout the 2020-21 academic year. The district’s office is at 6330 W. Thunderbird Road, Glendale. Call (623) 486-6000 or visit peoriaunified.org for more information. TOLLESON UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT All Tolleson high schools are in online learning until the end of the third quarter, Friday, March 12. Officials decided to stick with online learning after an influx in positive COVID-19 tests among students and staff. The superintendent keeps tabs on current events regarding COVID-19. The district office is located at 9801 W. Van Buren Street, Tolleson. Call (623) 4784000 or visit tuhsd.org to learn more. Elementary school districts have similar information on their pages explaining COVID-19 policies and plans for distanced learning. For private schools and institutions, see the websites for individual plans. This year has been a challenge, but following the districts’ guidelines, using provided information and having strong discussions with children will help make it easier.

Estrella Mountain

makes retooling possible with flexible learning options By Estrella Mountain Community College

o you dream of returning to the classroom but think your current job will get in the way? It doesn’t have to. At Estrella Mountain Community College, students have a wide variety of flexible learning options to fit their unique scheduling needs. In addition to traditional in-person morning and afternoon classes, students can also choose from evening, online and flexible-start courses. Retooling has never been more convenient. The college offers more than 100 degree and certificate programs and recently partnered with Intel, Microsoft and Promineo Tech to add an artificial intelligence degree path, a datacenter academy, and an 18-week coding boot camp. The partnerships are a perfect complement to the college’s strong information technology programs already in place. Since 2014, EMCC has been designated a Centers of

Academic Excellence in Cyber Defense Education and was recently tapped by the Maricopa Community Colleges District to explore offering a bachelor’s degree in information technology. “The field itself, they’re hungry for people to train. They’re hungry for brilliant minds,” said Alexiss Mailloux, a 2018 EMCC graduate who landed a job in cybersecurity before getting her diploma. “It’s really astounding how much manpower is needed in that field, and it’s constantly growing with how much more we’re reliant on the internet and anything related to digital traffic.” At the college, students enjoy smaller classes where their instructors know their name. They pay a fraction of what they’d pay at a large university. And they get hands-on instruction from highly respected professors with real-world experience.

“I can never speak highly enough of the program at Estrella because I got to see the concepts that they taught me,” Mailloux said. “And the projects they gave me directly applied to what the field has to offer.” Registration for the spring semester is underway. Classes, including eightweek flexible-start courses, begin on Jan. 15. Flexible-start classes also begin on March 21. Don’t let your day (or night) job get in the way of your new career.

Health Care

Medical Services When You Need It Hospitals, cancer centers and urgent cares are all here By Carrie Snider

he West Valley is an ideal place to live, as we have all of the amenities of a big city without having to live downtown. Thankfully, because of the draw of Phoenix, the West Valley is chock-full of stellar medical facilities and talent. HOSPITAL/ER Abrazo West Campus, located at 13677 W. McDowell Road in Goodyear, opened in 2003 as a small community hospital but has expanded as the area has grown. Now it boasts a Level-1 Trauma Center, as well as orthopedics, interventional cardiology, stroke and vascular care, women’s health, robotic-assisted surgery, spine surgery and obstetrics care. Abrazo Arrowhead Hospital has been serving Glendale and the Northwest Valley for over 30 years and is known for its surgical services, cardiovascular care and women’s care. Recently, the facility was named Best Hospital by U.S. News & World Report for its work in five adult procedures and conditions: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, congestive heart failure, colon cancer surgery, COPD and hip replacement. The hospital is located at 18701 N. 67th Avenue, Glendale. Call (623) 561-1000 or visit abrazohealth. com for more information. An additional option for emergency services is Arizona General Hospital, 251 N. Estrella Parkway in Goodyear. It’s open 24 hours and offers the same services as other emergency rooms, but for inpatient services,

those patients would be transferred to a different location. Visitors here can utilize emergency medicine and digital imaging, including CT scanning, X-ray and ultrasound. URGENT CARE For less-serious emergencies, there are many urgent care centers in Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Avondale, Glendale, Peoria and Tolleson. Banner, Alliance and FastMed urgent cares have multiple locations, among other urgent care facilities. As a newcomer, take note of the nearest ones to you so you can be prepared. Another option is Phoenix Children’s Urgent Care, which offers after-hours pediatric doctor availability. The one in the West Valley is called Southwest Valley Urgent Care and is located at 1665 N. Avondale Boulevard, Avondale. In response to the pandemic, urgent care facilities are now doing on-site or drive-thru testing for COVID-19. See any facilities’ websites to find more information about setting an appointment and the amount of time it will take for test results. FAMILY MEDICINE/SPECIALISTS It would be hard to list all of the family doctors and specialists in the West Valley. From primary care doctors and pediatricians to gastroenterologists and physical therapists, many in the medical community are ready to assist. How do you choose? Ask your neighbors and friends, check out reviews online, and double-check preferred options through your health insurance for ideas.

CANCER TREATMENT Cancer is an unfortunate reality, but thankfully there is a treatment center in the West Valley to help. Cancer Treatment Centers of America Phoenix’s comprehensive cancer treatment hospital is located 14200 W. Celebrate Life Way in Goodyear. There, multidisciplinary cancer experts coordinate treatments and provide comprehensive cancer treatment tailored to the patient. NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE Sometimes there are things going on in the body not showing up on tests but still hampering everyday life. Some people choose to take a more holistic approach to heal the body. There are several naturopathic clinics in the West Valley that can help. Elixir Alternative Medicine, 9210 W. Peoria Avenue, Unit 4, Peoria, offers routes for any health issues, both acute and chronic. Call (623) 755-7700 or visit elixiralternativemedicine.com. West Valley Naturopathic Center, 1646 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 200, Goodyear, specializes in helping patients with thyroid function, weight loss, food sensitivity testing, hormones and IV therapy. Visit wvncaz.com or call (623) 643-9598 to learn more. Allure Natural Health and Wellness, 14535 W. Indian School Road, Suite 160, Goodyear, offers acupuncture, cupping, trigger point injections and regenerative services. Call (623) 232-8052 or visit desertreignmedspa.com to learn more.

Midwestern University expands clinic services, health care degree programs By Midwestern University

idwestern University’s Glendale campus, near Loop 101 and 59th Avenue, is home to Arizona’s largest medical school and the state’s first veterinary college. The campus has seen steady growth since 1995, adding new colleges, graduate degree programs and community clinics. With more than 13,000 alumni health professionals and over 40% practicing in Arizona, the university helps address critical health care concerns statewide. New academic programs have been added to address current health care trends. The College of Health Sciences now offers a Master of Science in nursing and post-master’s certificate in adultgerontology primary care nurse practitioner (AGPCNP), a Master of Science in nursing in nurse leadership in global health, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice program with AGPCNP and nurse executive tracks. These provide advanced training and credentials via online education for licensed and experienced bachelordegreed registered nurses, with minimal on-campus requirements. The College of Graduate Studies added

two dual-degree programs — a Master of Public Health and a Master of Arts in precision medicine for personalized disease prevention and treatment. New and current Midwestern students have the option to earn one of these new master’s degrees while completing their doctoral programs, with the master’s degree coursework taken primarily online and scheduled over summer quarters to coordinate with their health profession courses. On the Clinics campus, the Midwestern University Therapy Institute joins the Dental Institute, Multispecialty Clinic, Eye Institute, Companion Animal Clinic, and Equine and Bovine Center, bringing important services and advanced technology to the community. Offering physical and occupational therapy, brain injury treatment, vision therapy and low-vision rehabilitation, sports vision performance training, clinical psychology and speech-language pathology — now also offering bilingual services — the Therapy Institute provides a variety of integrated treatments for all ages. Patients also have a unique new health care partner, with the first CAREN in Arizona. The CAREN — Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment — is the most advanced

Blood clots can affect anyone: Know the risks and symptoms By Dr. Rahul Malhotra, FACC, FSCAI Arizona Heart and Vascular Clinic

n 25 years of practice, I’ve seen firsthand the sometimestragic impact of undiagnosed blood clots. Mitigating your risk begins with understanding how clots can affect your body and when to seek medical attention. A thrombosis is a clot that blocks the normal flow of blood through an artery or vein. Thromboses can occur anywhere in the body. When they occur in a deep vein, such as the veins of the lower leg, hip or thigh, they are known as deep vein thromboses (DVTs). Blood clots cause 274 deaths daily and DVTs affect 800,000 Americans annually. Neither age nor gender offer protection. You can develop a clot as easily at 25 as at 85. Most are

the result of traumatic injury, surgical complications or hormone replacement therapy. Family history, smoking, pregnancy and some birth control medications also increase the risk. Arterial clots can cause death to surrounding tissue, lead to heart attack, stroke or limb loss. DVTs can cause swelling and pain. Clots can be particularly dangerous when part of the clot breaks off and travels to the lung (causing a pulmonary embolism) or to the brain (causing a stroke). The resulting damage may lead to sudden death. Watch for symptoms: DVT: • Swelling, cramping pain or soreness

in leg muscles • Reddened skin, warm to the touch • DVTs can also occur without noticeable symptoms PULMONARY EMBOLISM: • Sudden shortness of breath • Chest pain that worsens when inhaling deeply or coughing • Lightheadedness, dizziness or fainting • Rapid pulse • Coughing up blood If you have any of the symptoms above, seek medical attention immediately. Regular cardiovascular screenings can identify blood clots at an early stage, allowing for timely intervention to avoid potentially serious outcomes. If it’s been a while since you had a heart checkup, I encourage you to make an appointment today.

Rahul Malhotra, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.S.C.A.I. CARDIOVASCULAR Rahul Malhotra, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.S.C.A.I. has more than 25 years of experience in cardiovascular medicine with expertise in advanced/complex coronary intervention, carotid artery, deep vein thrombosis management, peripheral vascular intervention and treatment of varicose veins. In addition, Dr. Malhotra is one of the leading experts in transradial coronary angiography and intervention. Unlike traditional methods of heart catheterization, where tubes are placed through a small incision made in the leg. Dr. Malhotra can typically perform the entire procedure (often including fixing a blocked artery) through a small incision made in the wrist. This allows patients to get up and walk much sooner, and in randomized clinical studies, has shown a reduction in potentially life-threatening bleeding, particularly in women. Patients are usually in and out of the hospital the same day, within hours of the procedure. Dr. Malhotra has published numerous articles and abstracts on cardiovascular disease management in respected peer-reviewed journals, including the American Journal of Cardiology. He has been extensively involved in ground-breaking clinical research. Currently he is involved in 17 clinical trials. Dr. Malhotra has lectured extensively locally and internationally on a variety of cardiovascular topics at major medical conferences. He is proud to have founded of a 50-bed heart hospital in New Delhi, India, which serves as a center of excellence for cardiovascular care in Northern India. Dr. Malhotra strives to do the best for all of his patients and excels in new techniques to improve patient outcome and comfort. He practices by the “Golden Rule,” treating each patient as he would want to be treated. Dr. Malhotra did his fellowship training in cardiology and interventional cardiology at Brown University Integrated Hospitals, Miriam Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at State University of New York in Brooklyn, New York. He completed his Doctor of Medicine at St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies. He is a graduate from Fordham University in Bronx, New York.

Dr. Kelly Hilgers

Dr. MICHAEL Hilgers

PEDIATRIC DENTIST

ORTHODONTIST

I am so excited to welcome you and your child to Hilgers Pediatric Dentistry. As a mother myself, I understand how difficult it is to trust someone else with your child.

Dr. Michael Hilgers was born in Denver, Colorado and graduated from Green Mountain High School in Lakewood, Colorado. He was an all-state athlete in high school and looked forward to playing soccer on a scholarship in college until he injured his knee. Dr. Hilgers then became interested in athletic training during his rehabilitation and attended the University of Colorado in Boulder on an athletic training scholarship. He was an athletic trainer for five years with the National Champion University of Colorado Buffaloes football program. After graduation from the University of Colorado, Dr. Hilgers interned as an athletic trainer for the Denver Broncos & Colorado Avalanche and was later hired on as the athletic trainer for the Colorado Rapids.

On a daily basis, I am trusted by parents just like you to care for their children and keep their children’s smile healthy. I can honestly say that I treat my patients as if they are my own children. I adore my patients, and I love getting to see their happy, smiling faces. I enjoy working with all of my patients’ families and building a trust that lasts for years. Making a difference in a child’s life is the most rewarding feeling. My staff and I provide children’s dental care in a way that is comfortable, safe, and fun for the child. I am sincere in saying that I truly love my job as a pediatric dentist. In the practice, I use technology and provide treatment options that will make your child’s first dental visit, and every visit, seem less intimidating, and more fun. By catching dental problems early, we can help your child prevent damage or tooth loss later in life. The relationships that our office develops with our patients and their families, to us, are priceless. I look forward to getting to know my patients, hearing about all of their adventures in life, and listening to what is important to them at each and every appointment.

After several years as an athletic trainer, Dr. Hilgers decided to follow in his family’s footsteps and become an orthodontist. Dr. Hilgers has a long family history in orthodontics with many of the orthodontic appliances patented by his family and displayed at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Dr. Hilgers received his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, where he graduated in the top of his class. He then did a one year residency and one year fellowship at Yale University in Connecticut. Dr. Hilgers was then accepted at the University of Louisville Orthodontic Department, where he received his Master of Science (MS) and orthodontic specialty certificate. Dr. Hilgers has published numerous articles in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, of which two of his articles were featured on the cover. Dr. Hilgers obtained his Board Certification in 2005 and is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists. Dr. Hilgers loves that he develops long-term relationships with his patients, and “although our job is not always easy, helping people feel better about themselves and their smiles makes it all worthwhile.”

Dr. Malhotra is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in the following sub-specialty categories: internal medicine, cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology.

The collaboration of Dr. Jason Mussman and Dr. Betty Hinderks Davis began with the opening of Matisse Med Spa in January 2020. It was developed on their belief of exceptional patient care experience from preoperative procedures to postoperative care. The name Matisse was derived from the middle name of Dr. Mussman’s daughter’s middle name; which means ‘Gift of God’. Our med spa offers a wide, all-inclusive spectrum of innovative and cutting edge treatments to tailor to any skin type. Matisse Med Spa is also proud to offer it’s very own medical grade skin care, Matisse MD. Here at Matisse, we believe patients should have access to the best in-class patient care and for our patients outcoming from our surgery center. Marilyn Kariean is a Licensed Esthetician, with over 10 years of skin care experience. The foundation of her education was established at the Aveda Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2005, where she gained her Aesthetics License. She went on to relocate to Arizona to be able to continue her career in medical aesthetics. Upon arriving in the Phoenix area, she attended the National Laser Institute where she obtained her Laser Tech Certification. Through continuing education, Marilyn maintains the highest standard of expert care for her patients. She strives to optimize each client’s aesthetic treatment to encompass proper skin care modalities, cosmetic treatments and facial rejuvenation approaches while embracing the beauty within.

Learn the lingo: Types of furniture By American Furniture Warehouse

re you shopping for furniture and are confused by the lingo used to describe different types of furniture? Some of the more commonly used terms are solid wood, rustic furniture, marble and vintage style furniture. Below are pictures and descriptions of these terms to help you be a furniture lingo expert. SOLID WOOD

Solid wood is lumber that has been cut directly from trees, not manufactured from composites like fiberboard or plywood. Solid wood remains a superior investment for many consumers as the longest-lasting furniture. You may remember the oak table that grandma had, or the wood armoire that seemed to be around forever. It’s important to remember that because solid wood does come directly from trees, each piece will have different color shadings. Solid wood also requires extra care and attention, including more dusting

and using tablecloths and placements to protect it from liquids and food. Wood also swells in high humidity and can shrink in low humidity. Never store wood furniture in basements or attics where the climate can be unpredictable. RUSTIC FURNITURE Rustic furniture is beautifully constructed as an intentionally rugged, organic look. It’s made to look cozy and comfortable while functionally celebrating the natural elements the piece is made of. Rustic design can be captured in tables, bedroom sets, benches, lamps, shelves, photo frames, cabinets and more. MARBLE TOP Marble adds a classic elegance and tone to furniture. It has stylish gradients and multiple patterns, with a soft, smooth finish that can pair with any décor. Marble is a natural stone product and variations in pattern, texture, or color are inherent in the material. These features enhance the natural beauty of the stone and aren’t

reflective of poor-quality. Marble has many advantages worth the investment, but also needs maintenance to get the most of it. VINTAGE-STYLE FURNITURE Vintage-style furniture uniquely pays homage to the antiques and artistry of the 20th century. Known for its aged and distressed design, each piece is custom with cracks, uneven paint and dents that give it its warm and weathered signature. This furniture should also be treated with care, including regular dusting using a dry, soft cloth.

Full-service Cool Blew puts its customers first By Cool Blew Plumbing, Heating & Cooling

ool Blew Air Conditioning and Heating started simply in 2002, with Bob Proctor and one other technician. Since then, the Peoria-based company has grown to 57 employees, adding plumbers in 2005, and solar and electric in 2009. Cool Blew Inc., as it’s now called, helps customers with plumbing, heating, air conditioning, solar and electrical repairs and installations. The full-service plumbing division handles residential and commercial plumbing services; sewer and drain cleaning; electric leak and line detection; video camera drain inspection; hot water heater replacement; and installation and repairs of solar water heaters, tankless heaters and water softeners. The staff also services reverse osmosis systems and garbage disposals and offers plumbing preventative

maintenance agreements. Like the plumbing division, the HVAC division offers a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. HVAC technicians work with commercial refrigeration; repairs of all makes and models of walk-in freezers, coolers and refrigeration units; general maintenance repairs; and the installation and repairs of EnergyStar efficient units. The technicians are indoor air quality specialists who clean and seal ducts. Maintenance agreements are available. All electrical services are handled by a specialty division. Cool Blew also installs and services solar for residential and commercial buildings. Cool Blew focuses on private residential and commercial work, however, it is contracted for warranty work with a number of companies. Cool Blew prides itself on being a family-owned and -operated business. Proctor has 27 years’ experience in the service and repair business. He co-owns the company with Tim

Palmer, who has worked with residential and commercial HVAC for 27 years. Proctor’s wife, office manager and coowner Sue Proctor, has spent 31 years making customer service a top priority. She led a call center for one of the country’s largest insurance companies. Cool Blew is a member of the Better Business Bureau, Arizona Registrar of Contractors, PORA and the Peoria Chamber of Commerce, along with the Heat Pump Council and Electric League of Arizona.

‘It Just Made Sense’

Longtime foodies serve sweet treats to the West Valley By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

ob and Barb Kelly and Donna Zwarych are longtime foodies. When they tried Nothing Bundt Cakes for the first time, they fell in love with the sweet, moist treats. They, however, took it a step further. They left their health care careers and opened Nothing Bundt Cake bakeries. “We’ve always been customer service oriented,” Rob said. “We’ve also always been foodies. The girls are fabulous cooks and I just love to eat. It just made sense.” Their first Nothing Bundt Cakes outlet opened on Oct. 11, 2012 — 10/11/12 — in Glendale, followed by Goodyear in January 2015 and Surprise in February 2019. The stores rotate flavors but have its regular menu items — chocolate chocolate chip, white chocolate raspberry, classic vanilla, red velvet, confetti, carrot, lemon, marble and pecan praline. Specialty offerings include the gluten-free chocolate chip cookie bundt cake. Without its frosting, the carrot cake is dairy free. New flavors for 2022 include snickerdoodle and key lime, and 90

strawberries and cream, a oncefeatured flavor, will become part of the regular lineup. “That’s been an insanely popular flavor,” Barb said about strawberries and cream. CUSTOMER FRIENDLY The trio’s mission goes beyond flavorful treats and stellar customer service. It’s about helping the community that supports them. “It means a lot to give back to our community because the success of our bakeries comes from the community,”

Rob said. “We donate to charities and support schools, for example. We try — and I emphasize the word ‘try’— to visit every single school west of the I-17 at least once a year. “At that time, we donate cakes to every staff member—not just teachers, but every staff member. It takes more than just teachers to run a school. They are so overburdened and under rewarded.” The trio also donates to area food banks.

Pete’s Fish & Chips is all about family By Pete’s Fish & Chips

alley landmark Pete’s Fish & Chips is serving its fifth generation of customers. The quirky fast-food empire with the red-and-white sign has eight locations from Tolleson to Mesa. The late Pete Grant served in the Navy during World War II. While in Australia he noticed how quickly a meal of battered, fried fish and potatoes could be prepared and served. That idea of fast food stuck with him. Grant opened his first restaurant near Downtown Phoenix in 1947. Daughter and co-owner Kathy Adams likens that shop to a shanty, with a neighbor’s hose for water. “He had $900 in his pocket when he came out here,” Adams said. “He bought a fryer, fish filets, potatoes and paper plates. At the end of the first day, he had $12 profit.”

Sweet...continued from page 90 “There’s a day in September when all three of our bakeries donate every penny that comes in the door to it,” he said. “We’ve done this for three years. In 2021, the funds we donated have provided 115,000 meals.” They also invest in their staff. Rob said every member of the leadership team started with them on the ground floor. “Our manager of the Glendale store started with us day one 10 years ago,” he added. “She interviewed with us when we were still under construction. She started with us as a part-time froster. She’s been running this bakery for the past five years.” That is a testament to how the Kellys and Zwarych run their business. “All of our managers in all three of our bakeries started with us in parttime roles,” he said. “The young lady who runs our Surprise bakery was a high school student and worked as a froster when we opened our Glendale 92

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

A year later, Grant had four restaurants. He served hamburgers, fish and chips and his special sauce. “My dad’s claim to fame was his secret sauce,” Adams said. “We’re very proud of it. We want our customers to use the special sauce on the fish and chips. It’s made fresh every day, is spicy and not plain like ketchup.” “We are a small business. It’s just us and our employees,” Adams

explained. Most of the managers are family. If they aren’t, they might as well be. Some have worked for Pete’s since they were teenagers. One manager at Pete’s is a third-generation manager. Adams’ grandchildren are working there. “The roots run deep. One of the reasons we are so successful is, Pete’s is a family run business,” Adams said.

location. She’s continued on and now she’s a general manager.” The Kellys and Zwarych are grateful to be a part of the Texas-based company. The Kellys owe the career change to Zwarych, who introduced the couple to Nothing Bundt Cakes while they were living in New Mexico. “We were looking to leave health care and move into something more enjoyable in life,” said Rob, who was previously in diagnostic imaging. “Donna came across Nothing Bundt Cakes.” At the time, there were only 40 Nothing Bundt Cakes stores in the United States. (Glendale was Nothing Bundt Cakes’ 56th store in the United States. Now, there are over 450 in the country and 2 have opened in Canada.) “Barb and I drove up to Albuquerque, which was the nearest bakery to us at the time,” Rob said. “We tried the cake and we loved it. We thought, ‘This product is really, really good.’ We looked at the business opportunities and then we looked at

where we could open. It’s been such a great journey to open a business where success comes from helping bring joy into people’s lives by making each celebration, both large and small, a little more special with our cake. I think our biggest kick is still watching people have that OMG moment the first time they try our cake.” To pursue this career change, the Kellys moved to the West Valley, as did Zwarych, who was living in North Phoenix. “It’s been totally worth it.”

Roman’s Oasis is a West Valley destination By Roman’s Oasis

ant to take a step back in time? Tired of the same old chain bars and restaurants? Stop by Roman’s Oasis in Goodyear, a one-of-a-kind, rustic bar — a destination in the West Valley. There is a surprise around every corner, as from the outside the building seems quite small, but once inside, there is a sprawling 9,000 square feet of opportunity and fun. Memorabilia, including vintage advertisements, abound. Friendly bartenders and servers are ready to help guests have a memorable experience. This is a favorite place for residents and out of towners to frequent. Three distinct rooms provide a relaxed

atmosphere where guests can find a quiet corner or join in the fun. Free country and line dance lessons are provided Monday through Wednesday; Thursdays and Sundays offer karaoke in one room and event poker in another, and Fridays and Saturdays a live country band performs in one room with a DJ in another. Pool tables, dart boards, and shuffleboard are also available. Happy hour is 3 to 7 p.m. daily. An even bigger surprise is the food, where Chef Roberto Vital prepares delectable treats ranging from bar fare to filet mignon, coconut crusted shrimp, seared ahi tuna, and jumbo cheese ravioli with lobster vodka cream sauce. The half-pound burgers and fresh salads are popular items, but so is the green chili chicken pasta. Children welcome 11 a.m.

to 9:30 p.m. Daily specials during the week with the kitchen open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday to Saturday. Roman’s Oasis was established in September 1986 by Roman Comer, who owned and operated bars in the West Valley since 1965. His holdings have included The Toolies, Toolies II or Toolies Country. Stop in and meet the Roman’s family. Owner Myra Curtis (Comer’s daughter) and her daughter, Sarah, would love to share the history of how the business came about; the story behind the “the tree in the kitchen,” “the turkey,” and “Capt. Morgan on the roof” and the history of the big “rooster” that watches over the property and has become the Roman’s mascot.

Hometown Pride

Communities within the West Valley oﬀer ‘extras’ for residents By Carrie Snider and Taylor O’Connor

ithin West Valley’s cities, there are several neighborhoods that have become their own communities. As newcomers will find, the Valley is full of neighborhoods offering different amenities, such as parks, swimming pools and trails. So, when looking for a home, many will not only consider the house itself but what the area has to offer. Here are just a few communities within the West Valley: GOODYEAR Estrella is the largest sub-community in Goodyear. It started 25 years ago and has grown to encompass 10,000 residents. Why is it so popular? Location, for one thing. It’s at the base of the Estrella Mountains, meaning great views. It’s not as close to the freeway as other communities; however, the tucked-away-but-stillclose feeling is a huge draw. There are 72 acres of lakes, schools within the community, pools, parks, trails, plus room to add more homes. Palm Valley is a 9,500-acre community located north of I-10, between Loop 303 and Dysart Road. One of its biggest draws is its 36-hole championship golf course. Plus, Palm 102

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

Valley’s trails and parks make for more outdoor fun. PebbleCreek is resort living at its finest. This community of about 6,000 active adults has 54 holes of championship golf, along with a variety of fitness centers and restaurants. It’s a pretty tight-knit community of retirees who love the weather and their neighbors. BUCKEYE Verrado is a well-established community in the area. Probably one of the things standing out most at Verrado is the variety of home styles here, coupled with its treelined streets. Plus, you can’t miss its walking trails and over 70 parks. It’s built like its own city and even has its own events and concerts. Residents can also use its two pool facilities, golf course and other sports playing areas. Sundance is the perfect spot for those who want quick access to I-10 as well as golf and great views. It is a 2,000acre community located at Watson Road and the freeway near the White Tank Mountains. The Greg Nashdesigned Sundance Golf Club is at its center and is a draw for residents and the public. Besides the golf course, the Sundance community has a 30acre park that includes playgrounds, walking trails, a dog park, as well as

baseball, softball, football/soccer fields and volleyball courts. Sienna Hills is a newer community located north of I-10 at McDowell and North Verrado Way with views of the White Tank Mountains. Amenities include a pool, splash pad, fitness center and park. AVONDALE Garden Lakes is ideal for those who want to be minutes from Downtown Phoenix while in a waterfront community. Located north of Thomas Road between the Agua Fria River and North 107th Avenue, the community has two lakes, along with parks and walking paths. Garden Lakes has over 1,200 homes of various sizes. Crystal Gardens is a community located on 72 acres of wetlands. It’s north of I-10 near McDowell and 107th Avenue and includes 905 homes. This community has it all: lake views, walking paths, fishing, bird watching and bike lanes. GLENDALE Westgate is part of Central Glendale, near Glendale’s historic downtown. Made up of historic ranch-style and new urban-style homes, this area has been rapidly growing, thanks to major

EXPIERENCE TOLLESON It is impossible to think of the City of Tolleson without thinking of its sense of community. Tolleson has been fortunate to retain its community values of appreciation for diversity, leadership, family and the preservation of the human condition, in the midst of dramatic regional growth.

During the 1930's, Tolleson, like other communities across the nation struggle wearily through the Great Depression. Beginning with the '40s, agriculture in the surrounding area began a dramatic recovery providing an economic boost to the city. By the 1950's, Tolleson had become known as the "Vegetable Center of the World." Today, Tolleson is the west valley's industrial employment center hosting over 20 Fortune 500 companies employing more than 20,000, compared to just over 7,000 residents resulting in one of the most impressive jobs-to-residents ratios in the nation.

TOLLESON TALKS At the City of Tolleson, we remain dedicated to providing regular city updates and making them available to the community through various virtual platforms. Tolleson Talks is a community forum for virtual updates and conversations focused around City programs and departments. Mayor Juan F. Rodriguez will host virtual Tolleson Talks featuring special guests and council members will be invited to co-host alongside the Mayor throughout the year.

TASTE OF TOLLESON WWW.TOLLESON.AZ.GOV/TASTEOFTOLLESON

In effort to continue to support local restaurants, each Tolleson Talks segment will feature a restaurant as the Taste of Tolleson and anyone attending the virtual talk will be entered for a chance to win gift cards to that restaurant. The Taste of Tolleson campaign supports local restaurants in the Paseo de Luces corridor and offers them an opportunity to showcase their menu. If local restaurants located in the Paseo de Luces corridor are interested in being featured during a Tolleson Talks, they can submit a request via email to publicaffairs@tolleson.az.gov. Visit www.tolleson.az.gov/tasteoftolleson to view the Taste of Tolleson episodes.

Community coalitions help raise health youth By Your Go-To Source for Youth Prevention Resources

rizona is the home to 7.2 million people, and every type of season is found somewhere in Arizona. Arizona is ranked the sixth-largest area in miles, which makes the West Valley cities the place to be. In the far West Valley, there is Buckeye, the nation’s fastest-growing city with more than 100,000 residents, an 80% increase from 2010. Peoria is in the Valley’s northwest region, with a population of 190,985 residents. And centrally located Glendale is the West Valley’s most populated city with 248,325 residents. These three cities have so much to offer in terms of entertainment, good homes and outdoor activities. These communities have great free resources to help families raise

resilient drug-free youth through community prevention coalitions that educate and create awareness. These easy-to-find resources will help increase youth protective factors, reduce risk factors and help keep youth drug and alcohol-free. The Way Out West (WOW) Coalition is found in Buckeye and surrounding areas. Peoria has the 3PC (Peoria Primary Prevention Coalition). Glendale boasts the Rise Up Glendale Coalition. Residents may want to get involved in one of these three prevention coalitions. Each is a community organization with a mission to prevent substance misuse in youth and young adults. Each coalition has a monthly

meeting to collaborate and share resources to help our communities. They have many resources that can be used to help family conversations to get in the way of youth substance use. Visit Youth 4 Youth’s resource pages for more information or follow it on social media. All three coalitions partner with the National Guard Drug Demand Reduction Outreach team.

A Deep History of Faith

Worship centers have long tenure in the West Valley By Carrie Snider

ivine providence seemed to guide local residents to work on houses of worship, even as the cities were barely getting started. Paul W. Litchfield, CEO of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and founder of the city of Litchfield Park, helped build two iconic houses of worship in the city many years ago. ST. THOMAS AQUINAS First, Litchfield worked with local couple Frank and Sara Serrano, who were celebrating Catholic Mass in their home. Together, they found the original property at Neolin Avenue and Wigwam Boulevard, where they hoped to build a church. Architect R.D. Johnson designed its structure, and the cornerstone was laid on St. Thomas Aquinas on Nov. 2, 1919. Members and dignitaries celebrated the original building’s 100-year history. The Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix now has guidelines for Mass, including limiting capacity to 50 people, requiring face masks for attendees, and encouraging all those who don’t feel well to stay at home. Christmas Mass has a reservation system. Father John Muir is the pastor, joined by associate pastors Bryan Buenger and Anwar Zomaya at 13720 W. Thomas Road, Avondale. Info: stacc.net. Call: (623) 935-2151. THE CHURCH AT LITCHFIELD PARK Next, Litchfield set his sights on 132

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

helping Methodist members, including John and Mabel Padgett, who had been meeting in a cook shack for many years. They formally organized their nondenominational church, the Church at Litchfield Park, and in the 1930s asked Litchfield to help them secure a site and a structure. But it was the Great Depression, and finances were tight. At the time, The Wigwam, which opened as a place of refuge for Goodyear Tire executives visiting out of town but is now a public resort, lacked a bar. Litchfield was opposed to this idea, but he agreed if he could build the church. After piecing together design ideas from a casino in Mexico and the early mission in Santa Barbara, the new church was designed and ground was broken on Sept. 10, 1939, at 300 N. Old Litchfield Road. The 80-year-old building served as a beacon to many. Attendees must register for worship services up to two weeks in advance. It’s livestreamed on Facebook or YouTube. The Revs. Lynne Kammeraad and Kerri Sandusky now helm the church at 300 N. Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park. Info: churchatlitchfieldpark.org. Call: (623) 935-3411. FIRST SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH, BUCKEYE In the 1930s, members of the First Southern Baptist Church met in a building on Fourth Street that also once housed the town jail. In need of their own meetinghouse, church women gathered lava stones from the Hassayampa River area and brought

them to Third Street and Eason Avenue. This is where the “Old Rock Church” was built and became a central meeting spot before being replaced. The senior pastor is Darwin Meighan, who preaches at 405 N. Third Street. Info: fsbbuckeye.com. Call: (623) 386-5614. GLENDALE CHRISTIAN CHURCH Glendale Christian Church encourages connection with God and one another through worship and fellowship. The leaders adapted the services to the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with livestreaming, the church has moved its worship service to the multipurpose room for social distancing. The senior pastor is Brian Reed, who preaches at 9661 N. 59th Avenue. Info: glendalechristianonline.com. Call: (623) 939-4610. CHRIST’S CHURCH OF THE VALLEY, PEORIA Christ’s Church of the Valley is a nondenominational Christian megachurch in Peoria. There are 10 Valley locations, with more than 34,000 people in attendance, and over 4,000 people were baptized in 2019. The senior pastor is Ashley Wooldridge, who preaches at the Peoria location: 7007 W. Happy Valley Road. He works with the executive team in order to help shape CCV’s future. CCV is asking all attendees to wear a mask, added sanitization stations, as well as limited auditorium capacity to accommodate social distancing. For more info, visit ccv.church.

Are you looking for a church? By Rod Nichols

n 2016, my wife and I were looking for a church in the West Valley. We attended several that had nice people, good worship and preaching, but something was missing. We were looking for more of the presence of the Holy Spirit and a group of people who were led by the Spirit in worship, preaching and serving. We found them at AZ Vineyard Church located at 255 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. AZ Vineyard was founded by John and Becca Farmer in 1996 and still lead the church. AZ Vineyard is the perfect combination of not too big and not too small. Visitors are greeted by friendly, loving people who are there to serve, but not pester you. The foyer has an excellent selection of breakfast foods, coffee and water. Inside is plenty of

seating, including high-top tables with tall chairs, old-fashioned pews, and large comfortable chairs. Feel free to sit anywhere that suits you. Children will enjoy their own worship and teaching. Our Sunday service is at 10 a.m. and lasts about 90 minutes. It includes Spirit-filled worship with people

raising hands, dancing and waving banners. After worship, one of our teaching pastors will deliver a Biblebased message. A time of prayer follows the message. If this sounds like a fit, come check out AZ Vineyard Church and you just might find a place that feels like home.

being held back. “While doing our best to prepare each student who graduates to be qualified and accepted into any college of their choice, we are even more concerned to prepare them to be qualified to enter heaven,” Sims said. “What does it profit a man if he

gains the whole world but loses his soul? (Jesus).”
