Business Briefcase
ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, readers! Keeping in line with the past few weeks, I have a lot more to tackle in Buckeye. New businesses, upcoming businesses, whole marketplaces, we’ve got it all. So, if you reside in Verrado, perhaps you’ll be excited to hear about the plethora of new businesses coming – ranging from dentistry offices, major coffee and fastfood chains and, well, in my opinion anyway, great pizza. Over in Goodyear, though, I have details about Husse’s upcoming grandopening event, as well as several interesting chamber of commerce events. But that’s just a start, as I hope to have other developments around Goodyear and the rest of the West Valley in the coming weeks. Anyway, here’s the news! The first item on today’s agenda should appeal to those with a sweet tooth. A new Baskin-Robbins opened in Buckeye in July, but it just held its official grand-opening ceremony. It is located at 485 S. Watson Road, just south of I-10 and Watson Road. For more information, visit order.baskinrobbins.com/menu/baskin-robbins485-s-watson-rd. I’ll stay in Buckeye with Verrado Marketside, near the southwest corner of McDowell Road and Verrado Way. This is where I reported on the new Dominion Self-Storage in June. To refresh your memory, that one is at
20825 W. McDowell Road. On Thursday, October 4, Palm Valley Pediatric Dentistry will open, representatives confirmed. An open house will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, October 6. The office will offer pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. For more information, visit pvpd.com. Closer to the intersection, Starbucks is under construction along with additional shop space, according to T.A. Shover, director of leasing and sales at DMB Associates. Starbucks officials confirmed the drive-through location will open this winter. Additionally, Shover said Verrado Marketside Animal Hospital recently broke ground and a Taco Bell and Barro’s Pizza are expected to commence construction later in the year. Representatives for Taco Bell confirmed it will open in early 2019. Representatives for Barro’s Pizza did not immediately respond to the West Valley View’s request for comment. Over in Goodyear, Husse plans to celebrate the grand opening of its Arizona headquarters on Tuesday, October 16, with an open house from 4:30 to 7 p.m., and a ribbon-cutting at 5 p.m. Guests can have food and drinks, get free samples for their pets, and win prizes. Don’t forget the networking! Husse is located at 3673 S. Bullard Avenue, Suite 104. For those not in the know, Husse home delivers food for cats and dogs.

Sun Health CEO receives warm reception ByWestValleyViewstaff
Sun Health’s new president and CEO, Joe LaRue, received a warm welcome during a recent reception in his honor at La Loma Village, a Sun Health Senior Living community in Litchfield Park.

Briefcase...continued from page 1 will focus on how to Protect Your Estate Assets and Avoid Unnecessary Consequences. Meeting from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and sponsored by George Henderson, LifeTyme Financial Group life insurance and living benefits advisor, lunch will of course be provided – you just have to RSVP. To do so, con-
past Sun Health board members Nancy Root, Sandra Foell and Larry Baker. In his remarks to guests, LaRue, who has been with Sun Health since 2005 as executive vice president, emphasized Sun Health’s long-standing commitment to the community. “Sun Health is passionate about your well-being and doing what’s right for the community,” he said. “Sun Health
was built by the community, is owned by the community, and is here to serve the community.” Root, who has known LaRue personally and professionally for 25 years, praised the new CEO. “This is wonderful that I’ve been able to welcome my dear Joe,” she said. “I think he stands behind his words and really cares about helping people.”

Guests will also receive a full-color, 20-page workbook about estate planning, and will be eligible for a complimentary consultation. But before we go, I’d like to correct
my mention of Topgolf in Glendale from last week. It actually opened September 21. That’s all the briefs for this week! Stay tuned, though, because there’s plenty more down the road. Thanks for reading! Have an item for Business Briefcase? Email Connor Dziawura at cdziawura@timespublications.com.

Carney finds passion in Goodyear FD ByChristinaFuoco-Karasinski When Maureen Carney moved to Arizona, she didn’t know a soul. So, she figured volunteering at the Goodyear Fire Department would remedy that. Within a year, the 53-year-old made her mark when she was hired as a community risk reduction educator. Recently, she was named the top Arizona Fire and Life Safety Educator of the Year. “When I started volunteering, I didn’t know anyone here,” Carney said. “Within a year, the department hired me. I really do feel like I have found what my life passion is: Helping others and teaching them ways they can be safe and improve their lives. “It was very humbling to receive the award because I work with amazing people who do amazing things.”
Carney is a community risk reduction specialist, fire and life educator I certified, child passenger safety technician and a certified CPR instructor. She wanted to learn more, so when asked if she wanted to try characterization, she jumped at that request. She continues to utilize those skills during Fire Pal lessons. Carney partnered with the Arizona Public Service (APS) Ben FranKlown program that reaches school-age children in a fun interactive way of learning electrical and fire safety. Not only did Goodyear elementary students benefit from this program, she volunteered her time to ensure other students around the state learned the important fire and life safety messages when APS asked for her assistance. In 2017, Carney wanted to better un-
derstand fire prevention and provide residents more information when asked. She attended and passed the Arizona fire inspector I course with the highest test score on the exam. Even after losing a part-time educator at the department, she didn’t flinch at taking on new schools and other duties as assigned, and only works 19 hours a week. “We’re the educational arm of the Goodyear Fire Department community risk reduction division,” Carney said. “We go throughout the community doing all sorts of amazing things. To be included in that group is a real honor. “I feel like I have the best job in the world. When I got my award, I was presented with it at the opening ceremonies for state fire school. It was amazing. It’s something I’ll never forget.”
