the time during the summer.” But Wilson became concerned about the safety of her grandsons — Weston, 2, and Everett, 5 months — who visit a couple of times a month with their parents, Levi and Tiffany Johnson of Avondale. It’s a concern shared by pool owners, especially when the weather gets hot in Arizona. Already in 2017, there have been four deaths of children 5 years old and younger in water-related incidents in Maricopa and Pinal counties, according to the Children’s (See Fence on Page 5)

Avondale is loosening the purse strings with a city budget that includes funding for a new community resource center, park improvements and expanded transit routes. The Avondale City Council has approved a 2017-18 tentative budget of $217 million, a 6 percent increase over the previous year. The council is expected to give final approval to the budget after a public hearing at its meeting on June 19. The budget year begins July 1. The budget includes $88 million for city operations and an additional $8.2 million to cover supplemental requests for one-time or ongoing new spending. The $66 million budget for capital improvement projects includes $11.6 million for water upgrades, $7.2 million for street projects and $5.6 million for sewer improvements. The budget lists $9.5 million for debt payments and an $11.8 million contingency fund. (See Budget on Page 5)

Twenty-one years is a long time. It is more than a fifth of a century, it is the legal drinking age in the United States, and it is how long Cassie Wilkins has been heading All Faith Community Services. And she’s put a lot of hours into it. “As a general rule, my days start at about 7 o’clock in the morning, because we have a lot of programs like the farmers market that we have to be prepared for,” she said. “Last week, it was even working Sunday on Mother’s Day to finish a grant that was due.” “Usually for me, I work about a 60-hour week.” Wilkins

Wilkins does the bulk of the administrative work and bookkeeping for the organization. But she doesn’t stop there. “I do everything from cleaning the bathrooms to unloading trucks and sorting food and taking care of clients, working on special needs, handling the marketing for the organization and handling the books for the D BY SORE

Goodyear has a new member on its City Council. Brannon Hampton and Sara Gilligan competed May 16 for the remaining four-year seat on the Goodyear City Council after neither candidate reached the required majority vote in the March 14 primary election. Hampton won the runoff election with 5,717 votes. Gilligan received 4,465. “I’m excited, ecstatic and grateful and thankful to all of my supporters and everybody who came out to vote for me. I always appreciate your support. I won’t take this for granted. I’m just really humbled from all the support I’ve received,” Hampton said. Hampton will be joining Mayor Georgia Lord and council members Wally Campbell and Joe Pizzillo as the newly elected Brannon members. Hampton “I’m looking forward to getting to work for Goodyear and represent the city and make a difference,” Hampton said. One of his goals is to work on economic development by balancing the budget and attracting businesses to Goodyear, he said, adding that the budget deadline is fast approaching. “My first priority is to make sure the budget is sound,” Hampton said. “I want to make sure we are spending dollars wisely.” The 2017 election was Hampton’s second time running for the Goodyear City Council and second time in a runoff as he ran against Councilwoman Sharolyn Hohman in 2013, he said. “I’m kind of the runoff guy,” Hampton said. “I don’t regret the first time running because I learned a lot and was able to run better this time. I’m relieved I won my second time. It’s a lot of work.” Because of his experience as a candidate in a runoff election, Hampton was inspired and wants the council to look at how the city conducts elections and wants to see if there is a different way that would save money, he said. Goodyear requires candidates to meet a majority vote

to become elected outright in the primary election. If the majority isn’t met, a runoff election is held. Goodyear counts under votes — blank ballots or empty votes — and over votes — votes for more candidates than there are seats available — into the total number of votes used to determine the majority. If the under and over votes had not been counted, Hampton would have won the March 14 election and the city would not have had to pay to conduct another election. “That will be one of the first things I want to talk to the council and work with the council on and find out if there is a good reason for it and if not, how we would change it,” Hampton said. Goodyear is the only West Valley city to count under and over votes, Hampton said, adding that although he needs more information, not including those votes would make more sense because the city takes them out and separates them just to add them back into the total at the end. “It’ll hopefully help the city save money and time in future elections. Sometimes it’s OK to be an outlier in the world, but in this particular instance, I don’t think it benefits us,” Hampton said. Hampton praised his fellow competitors and said Goodyear will see more of them in the future. “Sara Gilligan and Jayson Black did a great job. Although the runoff was against Sara and I, Jayson did a great job, too. He was only like a hundred votes away from Sara,” Hampton said. “I think they’re both great people and I definitely look forward to working with both of them in the future because I know they’ll be active in the community going forward.” Gilligan has hopes to join a committee of some sort to stay involved in Goodyear and is strongly considering running for the Goodyear City Council in the next election, which is less than two years away, she said. “I feel that I made a great introduction to Goodyear residents,” Gilligan said. “While I am disappointed not to have won the recent runoff election, I’m very pleased with my campaign effort. I truly was honored to be considered along side Brannon Hampton for the City Council seat. I truly enjoyed connecting with people all over Goodyear. I made efforts in all various communities in the city.” Kourtney Balsan can be reached at Kbalsan@westvalleyview.com.

Ceremonies set in Avondale, Buckeye, Litchfield Park View report

West Valley cities will remember men and women who died while serving in the U.S. armed forces during Memorial Day events. Ceremonies are planned for May 29 in Avondale, Buckeye and Litchfield Park, part of a national observance that extends back to after the Civil War, when Decoration Day was established as a time to put flowers on the graves of war dead. The holiday became part of a three-day weekend in 1971, when the federal Monday Holiday Act set its date to the last Monday in May. The holiday also marks the unofficial start of summer, with many Americans partaking in recreational activities and shopping sales. But whatever Americans are doing, they can take part in a demonstration of national unity honoring the fallen by participating in the National Moment of Remembrance at 3 p.m. local time. Local events are free and open to the public.

Avondale Avondale’s Memorial Day service will be at 7 p.m. May 29 at the amphitheater at the Avondale Civic Center, 11465 W. Civic Center Drive, Avondale. The one-hour event will include speeches, music, tributes and a candlelight vigil. Avondale Mayor Kenneth Weise will deliver an address and a representative of Luke Air Force Base will be the keynote speaker. The Anderson School of Music will provide musical performances. Ceremonial presentations will include the posting of the colors and a POW/MIA ceremony. To honor the memory of the fallen, a wreath will be laid on the flag-lined path that features bricks engraved with the names of veterans and flags of the six branches of the military. The evening will end with a candle lighting remembrance. (See Memorial Day on Page 4)

The organization also provides a variety of services such as job training and help with finding housing as well as referral to other services. “When that happens, we don’t want to send them to the wrong facility,” Wilkins said. “I like to be able to really assess what the need is first. “We spend the time finding the resources, it’s really about working with the clients to really make sure to get them as many resources towards the things that are holding them back.” All Faith focuses on a “hand-up,” as stated on its website. “We really work on building that resource and relationship with other organizations,” Wilkins said. “They’re gonna work as hard as possible to work with us.” Logistics is the name of the game for Wilkins. “It’s hard when you’re working with a hundred volunteers a week,” she said, “And, they all have to be trained with grievance training, so they know when somebody is filing a complaint or having an issue.” Wilkins also needs to be on call. “I can get a call from security at the drop of a hat,” she said. “For example, somebody stole the fuses out of our building at 11 at night and we didn’t know it until the next day, so we didn’t have any refrigeration and we just have to handle those kinds of issues.” Between issues that come up with clients and organizing a constantly changing inventory, Wilkins has a lot on her plate, but she’s happy to do it, she said. Wilkins started All Faith in 1996 as a response to the changing of government funding to food banks and community action programs. “The state just got block funding for organizations like us, so bigger organizations got the money while smaller

ones just got the crumbs,” Wilkins said. Because of those issues, it became crucial for churches to pitch in to help the community, a job they had been doing until the state took over, Wilkins said. “All Faith is kind of a neutral ground for resources to flow between church and state,” Wilkins said. All Faith has now become a cornerstone in several cities and communities. “For Buckeye, we’re the only real resource that is available,” Wilkins said. Wilkins has poured her heart and soul into All Faith. Her husband worked to ensure she was able to get things such as trucks and storage the organization needed. Her children worked within the organization as well as St. Mary’s when they were younger, assisting with distribution of food and renovation of buildings for All Faith’s use, and they assist currently in different programs and groups. “It meant enough to her that she said that that’s where she got her work ethic from, from working with her mom and dad,” Wilkins said of her daughter. “Now, her son even comes out and helps, and her daughters probably will when they are older.” “People usually think this is just for poor people, but it’s also for people that had a bad month or got an unexpected medical bill,” Wilkins said. “When people come in and take, we’ve seen that a lot of them will come back later and help,” she said, “People say that 10 percent provide for the other 90 percent, but we haven’t seen that here — it seems much more even. “The poor will always be with us, but they don’t need to be the same poor.” The West Valley View’s annual summer food drive, which runs through May, benefits the Agua Fria Food & Clothing Bank in Avondale and Tonopah, All Faith Community Services Buckeye Food Bank and the Tolleson Food Bank at The Bridge Community Church.

The budget provides $9 million for a resource center, which would replace facilities used by Care1st Avondale Resource Center and the senior citizens center. Kevin Artz, assistant city manager, said the money will be spent over two years for a project that’s in the planning stages. “We still have to do the siting study to figure out where it would be located,” Artz said. The budget allocates $531,500 in ongoing annual costs to establish a 10-mile route for the Zoom transportation service in the northern part of the city. The new route could be operating in October with the addition of six buses that were purchased with funds from a regional transportation tax, according to Pier Simeri, director of community relations and public affairs. The biggest expense in the operations budget is $24 million for public works, which includes, water, sewer, sanitation, recycling and street maintenance. Other large budget lines are $23 million for police, $11.9 million for fire and medical and $6 million for parks, recreation and libraries. The budget reveals detail on a smaller scale, too, including a $1,500 contribution to help fund the community garden and an increase of $1,000 in discretionary funds for members of the City Council. Citing an improved economy, the council approved the sale of $7 million in general obligation bonds for projects that had been delayed during the economic downturn. That funding will move up plans to improve Festival Fields with about $4 million and accelerate the start of the design and construction of a property and evidence building for the Police Department at a cost of about $3 million. The decision to issue bonds came after a City Council discussion about the property tax levy, which city staff had recommended be reduced to $1.44 per $100 of assessed valuation from $1.70 the previous year. During City Council budget discussions, Mayor Kenneth Weise noted that when property values increase, the city typically lowers the levy. But Councilwoman Pat Dennis spoke against dropping the levy. “I would prefer getting some projects done,” she said during one budget review session. “Let’s get the job done.” To cover the new debt service, the tentative budget sets the property tax levy at $1.60 per $100 of assessed valuation.

(From Page 1) Safety Zone, which gathers statistics on water-related fatalities in Arizona. “It’s horrible. It’s heart-breaking,” Wilson said about a tragedy that has touched her family in the past. In 1980, Wilson was at a family gathering in Scottsdale, where she said her infant niece drowned in the pool. “She went in so quietly no one even noticed,” Wilson remembered. Wilson, who has lived in Avondale for 15 years, said she had her backyard pool installed for her children after her husband died in 2007. “Now, my kids are having kids and I need that protection,” Wilson said. Just as the summer heat approached and Wilson was thinking about the need for a pool fence, she learned about a contest sponsored by Fulton Homes, a Valley builder. In the entry she submitted that helped her win the fence, Wilson wrote, “I can’t really afford the luxury of a pool fence. I also know I can’t afford not to [have one].” Wilson’s fence was installed in mid-May between her house and the pool, one of 15 fences Fulton Homes is giving away in the 15th year the company has promoted its “Fence Patrol” program. It’s part of Fulton Homes’ “2 Seconds is Too Long” program that reminds adults that water-related emergencies can happen in seconds. State law requires enclosures around pools at homes where there’s a child in the residence who is younger than 6 years of age. Some cities enforce more restrictive laws. But Doug Fulton, CEO of Fulton Homes, acknowledged that pool fences are just one safety measure that homeowners need to consider. “A pool fence is just a barrier and drowning is a sad reality in Arizona,” Fulton said in a news release. “Watching children around water, teaching them to swim and having an adult who knows CPR are all critical for protection against drowning and near-drowning accidents.” Experts say the most critical factor in water-related accidents involves a breakdown in supervision or a lack of focus when children are around water. Besides the absence of pool barriers, risk factors include new parents, caregivers, new pool owners and new residents of Arizona.

Budget

That means the owner of a $167,000 house will see a city property tax bill averaging $248, down $3 from the previous year, Artz said. Property taxes cover 3 percent of the city’s $169.7 million revenue pie, which includes 29 percent from other taxes, 22 percent from charges for services, such as water and sewer charges, and 18 percent from intergovernmental shared revenues. The city is expected to start the budget year with a general fund balance of $41 million. The city’s budget summary forecasts revenues to go up by almost 10 percent, which Artz termed as a “moderate to good” growth rate. City officials said sales tax collections have grown steadily since 2010, taking nine years to recover to prerecession levels of 2007-08. A 100 percent increase in income expected from licenses and permits was attributed to activity in commercial and home development. The budget includes $2 million to continue a program that offers subsidies of 20 percent for residential and commercial development fees. In 2016, the incentive was used for nine commercial projects, 81 multi-family developments and 215 houses. Weise said the program has made a “major impact” on the city’s development. Other city budget notes: • City employees not covered by union contracts will be eligible for wage increases of up to 4 percent, which will cost the city $1.5 million. Raises for police and fire personnel covered by contracts will cost the city $700,000. • The budget funds three new positions — including one in the Police Department to manage the body camera program — bringing the city work force to 523 full-time equivalent positions. • The city will contribute $20,000 to a proposed regional veterans resource center. It’s the first installment in an anticipated $100,000 contribution to be paid over five years. • The council approved spending $50,000 for improvements at the Goodyear Farms Historic Cemetery, including landscaping and driveway repairs. The money will come from the cemetery fund, which officials said has a balance of about $260,000. • The budget included funding for continuing Billy Moore Days, which was re-established by the city last year. Weise and Councilman Mike Pineda voiced support for funding a city July Fourth event in 2018. The council also heard a proposal to withdraw from the annual Tale of Two Cities, a parade and festival conducted in conjunction with Goodyear, and perhaps stage a block party instead.

EDITORIAL

We remember The following column, by Burt Freireich, was first published in 1961 in the Sun City News-Sun, where Mr. Freireich was publisher. It is still representative of our thoughts on Memorial Day and wars of the past and future. Mr. Freireich, who was the chairman of the board of the West Valley View, died March 29, 2017, at the age of 91. I remember you, Bill Goodwin. I remember you, Bob Jones. I remember you, Lieutenant Tomaiko, and you, John Turner. I remember you, Bob Jones, when I joined the 78th Division. Somebody high on the totem pole had decided that we needed fewer fliers and more infantrymen, and you and many of your buddies who had just finished Air Force basic training were washed out and shipped to the 309th Infantry Regiment. You fellows all had IQs of 120 and up. The cadre men, many of them with IQs in the neighborhood of 70, had some difficulty in proving their superiority. I remember the squabble you got into while on KP, and the mess sergeant asked you your name so he could report you to the first sergeant. I remember you replied gutterally, “Aw, Jones,” and nobody believed you. I remember hearing of your death. For us fellows in the heavy mortar platoon, the war wasn’t nearly as personal as for you boys with the water-cooled machine guns. The German tank came right at your position, and you fired and fired and fired. And the bullets bounced off the tank. And the tank fired back. It fired until you stopped shooting. You were dead. That’s the way we heard the story, Bob. And when we got the Bronze Star after all the shooting stopped for good, we felt ashamed — because that’s all they sent your parents, and you earned so much more. And I remember you, Lieutenant. I remember the red beard that you grew. I remember the concern you had for the men in your charge, much more concern than so many other second looies in a similar position. Remember how we dug in on the forward slope at the Roer River? We all knew it was stupid, with the Germans looking down our throats from the heights on the other side. Remember how you sent back for permission to move and how we found unknown energy to crawl out of that valley of hell? I remember in the Remagen Bridgehead that the inevitable piece of shrapnel caught you, but it was a horribly big piece. It shot away your buttocks, and two boys stayed with you through the few hours of horror until you died there in that strange, hilly forest so far from home. I remember the picture you showed me — of your wife and two daughters in Massachusetts. They had felt the terror and hope against hope when the “missing in action” telegram came. A graves registration detail from the Ninth Infantry Division had picked up your body, and you were “missing” as far as the 78th was concerned because we had no body. But we knew you were dead, Lieutenant, and sometime later so did your family. Bill Goodwin, you lived only 19 years. You were a Boy Scout for so long a time that you found some aspects of war a pleasure — the outdoor life and communing with nature, even though the 88s scared away the wildlife. I remember how in England you had become introduced to Damon Runyan’s colorful characters in the pocket editions. You became so intrigued with this seedy but humorous kind of life so far removed from Okeechobee, Fla., that you began talking like Harry the Horse. I wonder what your girlfriend thought when she received your letters written in the gangland style. The letters stopped about a quarter past February, 1945, on the slope overlooking the calmly flowing Roer. It was a tree burst. Nothing entered my foxhole, but 8 feet away the shrapnel found yours. I can remember thinking elatedly, it didn’t get me, it didn’t get me. I could smell the ghastly odor of high explosive and I heard you yell, “Medic.” You got as far as the field hospital. They said all you could move was the big toe on your right foot. Eighteen hours later, not even the big toe moved. I remember you, Cpl. John Turner. I remember that whenever one of us found a pack of Old Gold cigarettes in our K-rations, we gave them to you. I didn’t smoke Old Golds for more than a decade after that war, John, because the brand always reminded me of you. I remember the night in the Siegfried Line when we were on duty together in our mortar hole from 2 to 4 a.m. Remember how each Screamin’ Meemie sounded like it was headed right for our hole? You were scared. And you frightened me, too, John. It’s a contagious disease. You didn’t learn to live with terror; you must have had a premonition. I can remember we received our candy and cigarette ration that day, John. I ate all my candy at once except for an Oh Henry bar. I planned to save it until the next day. But you scared me, John, and I didn’t want to have a good candy bar in my field jacket if the sun rose on my corpse. I ate it right then and there. But I lived, John. I remember the forestry camp that we captured and how we headed for the boiler room when the inevitable shelling came. There were 12 of us there, and of the eight wounded by the direct hit, you were the only one killed. I couldn’t believe you were dead, John. You were still breathing, but your skull was crushed. We rolled you onto a stretcher, John, and ran through the mud, the snow and snipers’ bullets and shellfire. The stretcher fell from my left hand as we ran, and you rolled into the mud. I pushed you back onto the stretcher. At the first aid station nobody came to look at you, John. I protested. But the physician said it was too late. Even though you were breathing, you were dead. The kitchen jeep came up with chicken that night, John. My hands were caked with mud and blood. We had no utensils. I used my fingers and ate the chicken. I’m alive John and Bill and Bob and Lieutenant. Others who fought still live, too. Others from many lands. Our Memorial Day is at hand. They must have similar days to honor their dead. Let us hope they remember, too. If we forget your sacrifice, we reject you. If other boys die in their teens and 20s, you will have died for nothing. And that would be a great tragedy.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Education reform needed

etters to the editor are published without any editing. Any errors in spelling, punctuation or grammar are those of the author. Two online reader polls have indicated that a majority of View readers prefer that the letters not be edited.

Climate deal hurts U.S. Editor: Our government signed on to the Paris Climate Accord and committed to 100 billion dollars. The agreement impacts American immediately, but allows developing nations such as China and India thirteen years to start THEIR carbon emission reductions. The United States of America is just over 4 percent of the worlds population or 325 million people agrees to immediately reducing our carbon emission by over 30%, but the same agreement allows 96 percent of the worlds population, 7.1 billions people to continue polluting for another 13 years or 2030 before THEY are held to the same standards. Why would our nation agree to put United States at such an economic disadvantage. And before some people get to excited, we are not advocating that we ignore our environment just manage it smarter protecting Americans health. This agreement is like Vermont embracing the carbon standards and the rest of the nation bring allowed 13 years to comply........ does this improve our nations environment or does it simply disadvantage Vermont..... Virgil E. Warden Goodyear

Editor: With President Trump we now have the greatest opportunity in decades for genuine education reform. Since the late 1940’s & 1950’s the flower children era, our education bureaucrats have taken more and more control of schools from parents in their communities. Teachers unions stood against meaningful reforms and our government became the nanny over parents rights. You cannot spank your child, Blah, Blah! Children were no longer taught civics, history and constitution, let alone read and write properly, that made our country a prosperous nation. Progressive theories and liberal fads had undermined our K to 12 school education. They just passed children from class to class, whether they qualified to move up or not. Parents had no say. Who paid? The child’s future. The progressives assault on liberty began on the takeover of our college educational systems. The progressives has also attacked our religious liberties. Our ten commandments offends them! They want God off our coin’s, our pledge to the flag! This all came about by our own lackadaisical attitudes, and problems strangling us just to stay above water stopped us from giving them the fight they truly deserved. If our government cannot protect and defend free speech, then we are fighting the same fascism that started in the nineteen twenties, & thirties in Germany. Before the end of his term, President Obama relaxed regulations on who can access highly classified information and national security intelligence, why?? To leak information and undermine Trump’s presidency? It would

also be a threat to our liberties and security. If this is truly true, pray that they uncover and dismantle these shadow groups. Anyone funded by Hollywood or Soro’s for office like Democrat Mr. Ossoff, in Georgia has to be another like minded Obama. Wake up Georgia! May the light remain over this country. Analie Maccree Goodyear

Progressives will never … Editor: They will never distinguish between legal and illegal immigrants. Doing so, would greatly weaken their empathy for everyone argument. They will never put their country ahead of their ideology. Everything Obama did was based on progressive ideology, and look at the mess he left . They will never debate fairly. If they cannot win the argument, they will label the opposition a racist, misogynist, a bigot or a Nazi, in an attempt to discredit. They will never tolerate a different point of view. Look at Ann Coulter being shut down and the riots at U C Berkeley, as well as almost daily unruly demonstrations, since Trump’s inauguration. They will never admit that the popular vote is absolutely irrelevant in determining who wins the presidency. Accordingly, they will never acknowledge that Hillary lost the election , not because of Russian interference, but because she was an absolutely horrible, and dishonest candidate Progressive judges will never (See Letters on Page 7)

The science is settled? Editor: The global-warming science is settled. I understand that to mean that our Planet is getting hotter because of man-caused CO2 and that the United States is a major contributor of the CO2 and that 2015 was the warmest year ever, warmer than 2014. But the US CO2 output in 2015 was less that 1998. So the warming was not coming from the United State’s created CO2. Either we get a free pass..... or the science is not settled. You choose.

Russia’s ‘yuge’ win Editor: It is clear to me that the Russian efforts to embarrass and undermine the United States government during the 2016 presidential elections have been extremely successful. Americans electing an ignorant buffoon like Donald Trump must surely be more than Vladimir Putin could have ever hoped for. Putin’s successful infiltration efforts will be paying big dividends to Russia for many years to come I am sure. And with the full support of American right wing propaganda media outlets like Fox news and AM hate radio, promoting denial and blind support for Trump 24X7, it all adds up to a “yuge” win, win for Putin’s Russia. Remember when Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for an affair with an intern? Surly these same republicans won’t turn a blind eye to Trump’s incompetence and possible treason, will they? There was a time when the Flag waving, patriotic, Christian republicans viewed the Russians as the “great Satan”. What has changed? Donald Trump is an embarrassment and a national security risk. Trump’s incompetence and his ties

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION

Chris Slotten Goodyear

No oversight provided Editor: I have had at least one child in LESD since 1994. In recent months, I have been more attentive to what is going on in the district. The more I dig the more I have to ask how this happening. First, the problem is me! I have voted for people based on knowing them personally. To quote a new friend “I love my best friend but I wouldn’t’ want them to perform heart surgery on me”. I have done a poor job of selecting members to provide oversight. Second, is the LESD board. They don’t ask hard, fact-finding questions before they agree to take away dollars from the classroom. When they ask softball questions, Mr. Ceja tells how important it’s to have nice paper work so when the state screws up they can get the right amount of money. Therefore, it’s critical to have higher paid district positions. Yet he shared they were able to get the right amount because of their current paperwork

They have not stopped rubberstamping spending and claim they are here for ALL the children. I have yet to witness that. Words are empty! I challenge them to show us how. In the last four months, I have attended all but one meeting including the special board meetings — they have asked EIGHT questions primarily from President Jensen with no real answers. Yet they still approve to move forward. When you ask Ms. Baysinger why we are spending grant money to add a second science lab to EMES and Dr. Rogers answers because the other schools have two labs — and you accept that answer — it’s time for you to step down! I thank you for running and for your time served but it’s time to leave! Do LESD children, teachers, and principals a favor please step-down. Kathy McNamara Goodyear

Schools: public or private? Editor: All this talk about giving vouchers so kids can go to private schools has got me to wondering! Public Schools are not for profit and use our taxpayer money to educate children. Private Schools ARE for PROFIT and using our taxes for their profits! Seems that using my tax money to make money for investors is not what schools are there for. If you want to send you kids to private schools that’s great just don’t expect me to be happy that I have to foot your bill.

Derangement syndrome Editor: Why the panic? We have a flexible innovate free thinker in the White House that has surrounded himself with some the finest military minds, uses unconventional communication and suggests ideas and actions that make some uncomfortable. This may cause Trump Derangement Syndrome. Don’t succumb to this paranoid tidal wave that is sweeping America. The negative energy that has been expended in the wake of the legitimate election of our Commander and Chief is simply pitiful. Anyone who has a device or sign to share their views is certainly expressing their right to “Free Speech”, however with our exploding “Social Media” disconnect the only thing that should “Go Viral” is support for our country and the leaders we voted for.

pages 49-50 discussing breaking the excessive CEO pay cycle I favor a cap on all wages, such that no individual may earn more (everything included) than 250 times the corporation’s earnings in billions the pay which the lowest paid worker is earning. (Part time worker OK, but no contract workers are permitted for the calculation.) If a CEO wishes to increase his pay, he can easily do so by increasing profits or by increasing the lowest paid salary. I think this evens the field much better than a minimum wage, but perhaps it’s too difficult for our dumb government to implement. We, the people, are smarter than those we elect.

All Faith supports W.V. Editor: All Faith Community Services has been supporting the Southwest Valley for the past 17 years by helping others to understand and address their problems. The organization was driven by the continuous ask for assistance from the faith-based community with the intent to combine resources

and expand efforts. Through partnerships with local grocers and retail, they were able to feed over 4,675 Goodyear residents in 2016 and aside from volunteer time, have collected over 44,000 pounds of goods to date. All Faith Community Services offers emergency boxes, baby boxes, clothing and skills training to residents of all ages throughout the area. All Faith is a St. Mary’s Foodbank contracted agency, which allows local foodbanks to work in conjunction and lessen the likelihood of duplication and having the capability of reaching more residents in need. Last year, they were able to produce 2,000 meals per week and 500 weekend snackpacks for the children and seniors of our city. All Faith Community Services supports the quality of life everyone deserves and accepts donations year round, not just at the holidays. They hope to secure a Goodyear location in the near future to expand its services to our residents even more. These comprehensive services would not be possible without the coordination with the area businesses, social services agencies, crisis intervention centers, school districts, city governments, courts, churches, counseling centers, other agencies, and YOU. When it is time to clean out your shelves, don’t forget about All Faith and their efforts to “hand up” rather than “hand out”. Wally Campbell Goodyear

The ‘funnies’ Editor: The Letters section of your paper is becoming the “funnies” of the West Valley View. (Remember? “Daddy, can I have the funnies?”) It is comical that some of your contributors are

accusing “liberals” of being fascists when it is the boy they put in the White House who openly admits he wants to limit free speech and is already restricting freedom of the press. Bob Golden Buckeye

The intolerant ‘right’ Editor: Misters Shpudjko and Semmler (May 17th) provide two examples of the Intolerant “Right”. Through slander and deception, they demonize and want to silence anyone who refuses to be “Conservatively Correct”. So, the most intolerant regimes have been on the “Left”? Gee, were Hitler, Mussolini, Pinochet, and Franco “Leftists”? Tell that to all the “lefties” they murdered, or to those “conservatives” in America who made excuses for, or express admiration of, such “strongmen”. Anti-blasphemy laws? We’ve had them in this country (some States still do), but they weren’t passed by “lefties”, nor did they protect Islam. They were created by people who wanted to keep America a “Christian Nation”. (As they imagine Christianity should be, of course. No “liberal” version of Christianity allowed.) The history of Christianity has hardly been one of tolerance and free speech. Ask the Jews whom Christians persecuted for almost two thousand years. Ask the Catholics persecuted by Henry VIII, or the Protestants persecuted by his daughter “Bloody” Mary. (Ask all the people killed during the Wars of the Reformation in the name of the “Prince of Peace”.) One can’t blame “liberals” for any of that!

As for Berkley, the assault on Free Speech there wasn’t by “liberals”. Those responsible hijacked a peaceful protest, pursuing a strategy known as “Black Bloc” — a cowardly campaign of violence committed while wearing black masks. And what do real Liberals think of such behavior? Chris Hedges (a very prominent “lefty”) considers Black Bloc a “cancer”, and says its members engage in “petty vandalism and a repellent cynicism”. Self-described “ultraliberal” Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert) condemned “the hypnotized zombie-boys in black masks . . . clubbing people who hold different points of view”. That’s the Liberal opinion! Then there’s Lying Trump, who condemns and would silence all critics. How totalitarian! More on-line. Gordon P.R. Posner Tolleson

Palestine, Israel explained 2.0 Editor: This letter is a response to Alan Rockman’s 5/17/17 letter addressed to me. It speaks volumes of your character that instead of using your 300 words to try to refute or debate facts I presented, you use your words to conflate all Palestinians with terrorists or violence and to libel me. So I will again state the obvious, most Palestinians are not terrorists and the presence of some terrorists does not justify human rights violations by Israel on the greater Palestinian civilian population. You see, you seem dismayed at Palestinians (although you are generalizing) who “slit baby throats” but don’t seem to care about the many many more babies

decapitated from Israeli state sanctioned bombs that we help finance. This creates more terrorism not less. Bibi has dominated, oppressed, and longs for 1 Jewish apartheid state where Palestinians are second class citizens. These aren’t actions of a leader seeking peace. Finally, no I won’t move to the Middle East. I was born in America and this land is as much mine as yours. I own no land to return and I had no say in the atrocities that our white supremacist government inflicted on Native Americans but I’ll be damned if I let that cycle continue quietly while I do have a voice. No, I intend to stay right here and continue fighting to make this country a better place because I do “practice what I preach.” So if you or anyone else reading this is tired of hearing these difficult truths (which are still not refuted), I suggest you stop responding to me by misrepresenting my sentiments or blatantly lying because I will keep coming back and back and back. Otherwise, I’ll write ya in a few weeks. Your Progressive, Trevor Keeley Goodyear

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, readers. Glad to have you aboard. This week’s edition will serve in memoriam to a West Valley landmark: the Phoenix Trotting Park. I’m sure by now everyone is familiar with last week’s story on the upcoming demolition of the trotting park by reporter Glenn Gullickson. If not, I’ll give a quick summary. The Phoenix Trotting Park, near Loop 303 and Interstate 10 in Goodyear, is set to be demolished by the end of this year. Shane McOwen Back when I was a youngster from West Phoenix, the trotting park was the juvenile representation of the halfway point to California. Obviously, that’s a bit off — your Briefcase host has a much better understanding of geography these days. Between that, and the gigantic plywood baby, there wasn’t much to see before you hit the windmills of Palm Springs. We’ll say goodbye this year, but won’t likely see anything like it again. It’s not often, anyway, that a building can remain vacant and in place for 50 years. Here are this week’s other business news items. We’ll start with some clarification.

Law enforcement agencies launch annual seat belt campaign by Chris Caraveo staff writer

Drivers caught breaking a primary law may save a few extra bucks by buckling up. West Valley police departments are joining the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office of Highway Safety and other law enforcement agencies to enforce Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat belt and child safety seat laws. The efforts are part of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Buckle Up Arizona...Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Law! enforcement campaign, running May 22 to June 4. As part of the national Click it or Ticket campaign, law enforcement agencies across the state will be stepping up traffic enforcement patrols and increasing other enforcement efforts to remind residents to buckle up. Arizona conducts enforcement under a secondary seat belt law and a primary child seat law. That means an officer cannot pull someone over solely for not wearing a seat belt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We encourage all officers to take a moment to see if the driver and passengers are wearing seat belts prior to making a traffic stop and then take enforcement action, whether with a ticket or a warning,â&#x20AC;? Officer Lisa Kutis said in an email. Despite being a secondary law, it can be easy for the experienced officer to spot a primary violation and observe whether a vehicleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s occupants are wearing seat belts, Buckeye Police Officer David Grossman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The campaign motivates officers who are assigned to the detail to only focus on seat belt violations and not

be worried about taking calls of service or completing sensitive paperwork,â&#x20AC;? Grossman said. Police say regular seat belt use is the single most effective way to protect people and reduce fatalities in motor vehicle crashes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When worn correctly, belts have proven to reduce serious crash-related injuries and deaths by about 50 percent,â&#x20AC;? according to a release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The proper and consistent use of child safety seats has been found to reduce the risk of fatal injuries by 71 percent for infants and 54 percent for toddlers in passenger cars.â&#x20AC;? The GOHS receives federal and state money to disperse to agencies throughout the state in the form of grants. Goodyear and Buckeye police departments each received $5,000 for the campaign. The money can go toward overtime pay for extra enforcement or for equipment and technology. During last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign, Goodyear police issued 221 citations and Buckeye police issued 148 seat belt citations and six child restraint citations. Those numbers pale in comparison to 2014, when Buckeye police had 355 seat belt citations and 10 child restraint citations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do know the numbers decreased because of previous contacts we had made with drivers and education we provided had brought those numbers down,â&#x20AC;? Grossman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some drivers who actually get a seat belt citation each year of the campaign.â&#x20AC;? Reasons people give police for not wearing a seat belt include: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I forgot,â&#x20AC;? having a sun burn or the lining of the belt hurting their neck, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncomfortable or they believe for safety reasons in the event of a crash that they would not be able to exit their vehicle. Grossman said some drivers put the top belt under their arm to make it comfortable for them while they drive. However, the law states the belt must be over the shoulder and lap. Police have issued citations for not properly wearing seat belts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is where education is a key component and we explain the importance of being properly restrained in the vehicle,â&#x20AC;? Officer Kutis said. Chris Caraveo can be reached at ccaraveo@westvalleyview.com.

Summer reading program begins View report

As temperatures rise and schools let out, West Valley libraries launch the annual summer reading program. One of the program’s goals is to combat the “summer slide” when students lose some of the progress made during the school year. According to the Maricopa County Library District, 20 minutes of reading every day can stop it entirely. Buckeye is kicking off the summer reading program with a pool party at noon Friday at the Buckeye Aquatic Center, 207 N. Ninth St. Buckeye will feature more than 40 free events and programs during the Summer Reading Program, including movies, magic acts, animal programs, science exhibits and art displays. County libraries will begin the program June 1, and offer events such as crafting workshops, silk screen shirt printing, games, robotics and juggling demonstrations. Points can be earned by readers for reading as well as attending events. They can be logged online to earn prizes, including coupons and a free book at 1,000 points. Additionally, earning points will put readers in a list for prize drawings. For a full list of events, sign up at www. maricopacountyreads.org. Otherwise, visit www. mcldaz.org or www.buckeyeaz.gov/library/ for event listings and other information. The Summer Reading Program takes place at the following West Valley libraries:

KAITLYN MARTINEZ, 13, of Tolleson and volunteers fill backpacks with school supplies and personal hygiene items April 19 for the nonprofit Backpacks4Kids Kaitlyn started after seeing a need in her own school. To see all photos from this shoot, go to www.westvalleyview.com/pictures.

Childhood is often spent playing games, going to school, eating candy and making new friends. One Valley youth is spending her childhood making sure other children don’t go without. Kaitlyn Martinez, 13, of Tolleson created Backpacks 4 Kids AZ Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, in 2015 to help local disadvantaged youths fill their backpacks with necessary supplies. “I created Backpacks 4 Kids AZ after one of my friends failed a writing assignment because she did not have pencils and paper at home and was too embarrassed to tell the teacher,” Kaitlyn said. “It made me start wondering how many other kids are failing for the same reason.” Kaitlyn and her mother then created a Facebook page to introduce the community to the ever-growing problem and the school supply drives began, she said. “When my daughter came to me about her friend failing because she did not have school supplies, I encouraged her to do something about it,” said Michele Tallberg, Kaitlyn’s mother. “Honestly, I [then] thought, ‘I did a good job, I raised a good kid who cares about others.’” Kaitlyn and her mother realized the empty backpack dilemmas are not uncommon as the organization has already supplied more than 500 pupils with full backpacks, she said. “I think [Backpacks 4 Kids AZ] is needed in our community as 25 percent of children in Arizona are living at or below poverty level,” Tallberg said. “Most of the basic items that we take for granted every day are out of reach for these children. Simple supplies like a pencil or paper can make a difference between children doing their homework or failing.” Backpacks 4 Kids AZ is initiating a new program called Love Bundles, Kaitlyn said. “Love Bundles are backpacks filled with hygiene products, a blanket and toy for children entering foster care or shelters,” she said. “I incorporated the Love Bundles as one of our programs because there are so many kids in Arizona entering the foster care system every day and I think they deserve to have something of their own to help provide a little comfort during a difficult time.” The organization already distributed around 20

Love Bundles, but Kaitlyn has plans to make more distributions, she said. “My goal this year is to supply 1,000 kids with backpacks full of school supplies and make 300 Love Bundles,” Kaitlyn said. “I plan on meeting my goals by doing more student-led donation drives at their schools and over the summer doing donation drives at local businesses and holding fundraiser events. I have also received a couple of grants that will help me with reaching my goals.” Tolleson granted Kaitlyn $1,500 to use for her organization, she said, adding that she has received plenty of support from the city. Arizona Gives Day on April 4 was Backpacks 4 Kids first time participating in the 24-hour statewide donation day, Kaitlyn said. “Arizona Gives Day helped by getting more people to know about our organization. We received a little over $800 in donations, all from new donors,” she said. Kaitlyn’s goal is to not only maintain the organization, but to also expand it, she said. “My long-term goal is to have a free store where disadvantaged students can come and pick out their own school supplies with a referral from a teacher. Social workers and other agencies can pick up items for children entering foster care and shelters,” Kaitlyn said. For now, Kaitlyn will focus on her schooling and planning events in the time she has off, she said. “I have a lot of help from my mom. She wants me to focus on school and we plan things on the weekend and during the summer when I am out of school,” she said. “[Creating Backpacks 4 Kids AZ] shows other people my age that they can make a difference, even at a young age. I hope to inspire other young people to get involved in their communities.” Although Backpacks 4 Kids AZ has 10 full-time volunteers, the organization is always looking for more help, Kailtyn said. “We can always use help whether you would like to host a fundraiser drive, donate items or volunteer your time when we need help sorting and organizing items,” Kaitlyn said.

Wigwam Creek students place in film contest View report

Two films by students in a West Valley middle school’s film class have won awards in a statewide short film competition. Films by students at Wigwam Creek Middle School in Litchfield Park placed first and third in the middle school division of the Arizona Student Film Festival sponsored by the Phoenix Film Festival. The films were created by students in the Media Tech class taught by Jason Keele. Winning first place was a film titled War of the Board by ninth-graders Nathan Gyore, Landon Budoff, Josh Balch, Cato Palmer and Mathew Jarembo. The eight-minute film uses a match played by chess champion Bobby Fisher for a story in which students enacted the moves, with much of the action filmed in front of a green screen, Keele said. Third place went to a five-minute film titled Tacos the Movie by seventh-graders Cole Garvey and Luke Hall about the search for a missing taco. Keele said students did all the work on the films, including scriptwriting, storyboarding, producing, directing, acting, creating backgrounds and music and editing. Keele said he’s taught the filmmaking class for five years and used grant money to obtain the necessary computers and cameras. He said Wigwam Creek Middle School is one of the few schools in the West Valley to enter the contest. The films were screened at the film festival at Harkins Scottsdale 101 in early April. Students were given passes to attend the event.

Estrella grad to play baseball at Ottawa “I’m pretty excited,” Jesionowski, a pitcher, said. “I was looking for somewhere to go for about a year or so, since the end of junior year.

Estrella baseball coach Pat McCubbins said it means a lot to continue that tradition. “He’s had a lot of guys that have played before him he can look up to, and I think that drove his desire to get into college as an athlete,” McCubbins said. “And if anything, it fuels the fire for the young guys that want to continue to play at the next level as well.” Jesionowski went 6-5 this year with a 3.48 ERA. He had three complete games and struck out 50 in 50.1 innings. It was his second solid season in a row, as last year he went 7-2 with a 2.47 ERA. Jesionowski throws a (See Ottawa on Page 17)

Millennium football hires Lamar Early Former Estrella Foothills coach leaves after 14 years by Casey Pritchard sports editor

Lamar Early spent a lot of time at Estrella Foothills, but that will no longer be his coaching home. Early has been recommended for hire at Millennium — pending the Agua Fria Union High School District board meeting approval June 14. The move is bittersweet for Early, he said. “I’ve been at Estrella for 14 years,” Early said. “At the same time, it’s sweet to be able to have the opportunity to coach at a bigger division.

Inside Sports: Tolleson football gears for summer session, High schools host summer youth camps

16 West Valley View, Avondale, Arizona, Wednesday, May 24, 2017 E

Tolleson football eager for summer trials Wolverines set to replace 8 starters on each side of the ball by Shane McOwen sports writer

Tolleson football entered the spring practice session with plenty of question marks on both sides of the ball, something that tends to happen when you lose eight starters on both offense and defense. After a productive spring practice session, coach Jason Wilke feels like his team is on the right track to fill the spots and work toward its goal of FOOTBALL winning the region title, he said. The Wolverines extended their spring practices over three weeks to make sure there was plenty of time for everyone to get on the same page. “Obviously, our progressions from JV to varsity is quite a bit more in depth,” Wilke said. “It’s been good getting them out there and getting them through our schemes. We were able to get deeper into the playbook this spring with those extra practices.” There will be changes across the board for Tolleson this upcoming season. On offense, the Wolverines will have nearly an entirely new starting line, and will look to replace their top receiver and running back. The position of strength in the early going has been quarterback, Wilke said. “Our returning starter will just be a junior, Patrick Ortega,” Wilke said. “He had a very nice sophomore year. We have two other guys, our JV quarterback Corey Barnes, and our soon-to-be senior Christian Reyes. Anytime you can have three guys competing at quarterback is a good thing. Our strongest position right now is at quarterback.” Ortega threw for 1,322 yards with eight touchdowns and eight interceptions on 84 of 188 passing as a sophomore. Reyes also got some work behind center last season,

Davyon Duhart, a senior, is the top returning rusher for Tolleson. He amassed 204 yards on 42 carries as a junior. “He got a decent amount of reps last year,” Wilke said. Tolleson will sorely miss Dallas Dixon, who went over the 1,000-yard mark last season at receiver. Curtis Rondeau is the early bet to take the reins on the outside. “Replacing a guy like Dallas Dixon is

He’s had a decent spring.” Wilke said the offensive line crew will be very green heading into the season, with only Fabian Raizola returning with any varsity experience. “He’s our only guy on the offensive side who got any game reps last year,” Wilke said. “There’s some JV guys who’ve had a good offseason, and hopefully, they have a great summer. They’re going to be next man up.”

Ottawa (From Page 15) two-seam fastball, change up and curveball, but mostly relies on the location of his fastball, moving it in and out, he said. “Probably his best attributes are he stays ahead [in the count] and keeps the ball down,” McCubbins said. “He gave up very few walks over the course of his career. He doesn’t try to overpower anybody, but get ground balls and have short innings.” Jesionowski said he was nervous at the start of the high school season because he didn’t know where he was going to play next year. However, he reached out to Ottawa coach Tim Montez before the start of the season, and Montez went to watch him pitch a few times. “He came to the [Phoenix] Greenway game, drove out to [San Tan Valley] Combs to watch me pitch in the Florence tournament,” Jesionowski said. “The emails were back and forth, he wanted to know when I was starting, came to a couple games and made me the offer. I had no other offer, so I accepted that one.” Montez liked Jesionowski’s arm slot, and how he got better as the season progressed, Jesionowski said. “I think it was just nervousness,” Jesionowski said of his early-season struggles. “I had one fundamental thing wrong, but when he saw me at the end of the year, he said there was a huge improvement and he’s looking forward [to next year].” Jesionowski’s skill set should translate well at the collegiate level, McCubbins said. “Just the fact that he doesn’t mess up very often,” McCubbins said. “His ability to keep the ball down and get ground balls is going to make him an effective pitcher at the next level.”

1st season expectations Jesionowski doesn’t have any expectations for next year, but he’d be fine in either a starting role, or as a middle reliever. “I don’t know what to expect; it’s a new school,” Jesionowski said. “I can’t look at last year’s schedule, there isn’t one.” Jesionowski plans on studying psychology at Ottawa. He wants to become a police officer, he said. As far as being able to play college baseball, it means a lot. “I’ve always been a little kid dreaming to go MLB,” Jesionowski said. “That’s just the next step after high school, to go play college ball.”

DAVYON DUHART of Tolleson stretches the ball across the goal line during a first-quarter touchdown against Mountain Ridge last season. Duhart is the Wolverines’ top returning rusher heading into the 2017 season.

Wolverines (From Page 16) bench press record [at 345 pounds]. He’s a kid that’s put a lot of work in the weight room.” Johnson has a good mix of size and speed for a defensive back, Wilke said. “He should do good things as a junior,” Wilke said. “He ran a 4.58 last Saturday at our testing day.”

Growing season The Wolverines hope to use the summer period as a time to take major steps in the right direction. The foundation for the fall begins with the work put in during the summer, Wilke said.

“We know we can make plays when we need to. We need to make plays with every opportunity that we can,” Wilke said. “Consistency and being able to play at a high level for all our opportunities, that’s going to be our big, big push here in the summer. It’s a different level on Friday nights. “We’re going to ramp up our training a little bit. We’ve got to be able to compete for 48 minutes in the fall. Every opportunity we get this summer has got to be full speed and high execution.” The Wolverines will get a chance to flex their muscles at the Universal Athletic passing league and big-man tournament June 3 at Pioneer Park in Peoria. Tolleson hosts the annual event, and this year’s competition will feature more than 30 teams from across the state. “We’ve got to grow a bunch this summer to get competitive,” Wilke said. “That’s one thing that Tolleson is, we want to be competitive. We have to prepare and get better every day here to give us a chance [in the season opener] Aug. 25 against [Phoenix] Sandra Day O’Conner.”

Millennium High School.â&#x20AC;? As Early departs Estrella, he feels like he has left the program in good hands for whoever succeeds him, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take any steps back, especially with the kids we have up there that did everything we asked,â&#x20AC;? Early said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think whoever succeeds me will be in good hands.â&#x20AC;? Early is anxious to get started with Millennium and see if he can bring it back to prominence, he said. The Tigers havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had a winning season since 2013, when they went 6-5. They were 8-4 in 2012, making the state quarterfinals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely want to get them back to the level they were, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to come with time and buy in, not only from the kids, but the coaching staff, the community, the school, everything,â&#x20AC;? Early said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I definitely canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for the opportunity.â&#x20AC;? Early will teach physical education and weight training at Millennium. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Classroom wise, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited to have him on campus as a P.E. teacher because we think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to get the football program connected campus wide, as well as in the community,â&#x20AC;? Gordillo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been proven throughout his career that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done. So, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really excited. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge buzz around campus regarding hiring him. You literally canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anyone to say anything bad about him. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an extremely respected guy, both in the coaching community and out of the coaching community.â&#x20AC;? Early said he wanted to thank the entire Estrella family, his booster club, the parents and student athletes for a great 14 years. Casey Pritchard can be reached at caseypritchard@westvalleyview.com or on Twitter @CaseyonSports.

Karma Martineau Forney “Karma Martineau Forney, age 71 of Buckeye, AZ died May 4th 2017. Born February 20, 1946 Legend tells that when Karma came into this world the Doctor attempted to slap her bottom, but with a stern look from the newborn decided he better not. One of eleven children, Karma grew up riding horses, shooting guns and chasing cattle in the old Mexico frontier. After taming all of Mexico, Karma decided to move to the U.S. were she could start helping take care of children. In addition to raising five of her own kids, she watched over dozens of other children throughout the years. Nana Karma died on May 4th, 2017 during an unfortunate dragon riding accident. She had no last words, but she did have a smile and a twinkle in her eye. She is survived by her daughter Miricle, sons Donald Jr., Scott (Allison), Christopher (Deanne) and Alen; six grand kids Jacob, Miracle, Clayton, Jess, Violet and Aidan and an untold number of wayward Buckeye youth who found there way into her home. Because she loved gardening, the family is requesting that instead of sending flowers, you plant some flowers of your own and take a moment to enjoy them. Then, share that enjoyment with a neighbor. A celebration of life will be held on June 4th at 3 P.M. at the Buckeye Elks Lodge, there will most definitely be good food and Mariachi music.”
