A television set, children’s bicycles and shattered furniture are scattered around a concrete foundation that used to hold a family’s trailer home in Buckeye. The aftermath of a July 29 storm that swept across the West Valley at about 9 p.m. resembles damage often caused by a tornado. Several trailers in the Hopeville community

near Yuma and Palo Verde roads in Buckeye were destroyed, and a dozen more were damaged when intense winds hit the area, officials said. A pregnant woman and six children walked away with minor injuries after a trailer blew over, said Capt. Cliff Turner, a spokesman with the Buckeye Valley Fire District. Most of the children were loaded into a nearby vehicle, but the woman and at least one toddler were still inside when the trailer tipped over, Turner said.

“I haven’t heard whether it was actually a micro burst, but there was a lot of damage in that little community,” he said. “Their trailer got blown over on its side — it was like the really old single-wides still on jack stands, so I think when it went over, it lost its structural integrity and just disintegrated.” The woman, who is five months pregnant, was (See Pieces on Page 5)

Stocking up Temple to mark 25th anniversary of murders on supplies by Glenn Gullickson staff writer

The 25th anniversary of one of the West Valley’s most shocking crimes will be observed during a day of events at the Buddhist Temple of Arizona in Waddell. The Wat Promkunaram Memorial Day Anniversary will be Saturday at the temple at 17212 W. Maryland Ave., Waddell. Events that are open to the public will mark the day when nine people were killed in the worst mass murder in Arizona history, a crime that made international headlines as the “Temple Murders.” Among the participants at the anniversary events will be Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The Maharamluek Day, or Great Memorial Anniversary, will begin at 10 a.m. with the lighting of candles and a sermon. Afternoon events start at 1 p.m. with chanting and meditation.

At 5:30 p.m., there will be a talk by Pha Debbuddhivides, president of the Council of Thai Bhikkhus in the U.S. Phah Wides Brommakun, abbot and head monk of Wat Promkunaram, will give a welcome speech and blessing at 6 p.m., followed by remarks from Arpaio. The sheriff will also present certificates of appreciation for the services the temple has provided to the county, and the temple will present gifts to Arpaio. Those who died will be remembered with an offering of robes to 10 monks and a religious ceremony. The day will conclude at 7 p.m. with a candlelight vigil at the monument on the temple grounds dedicated to those who were killed, followed by a dinner of Thai food. The memorial service is one of the best attended annual events at the temple, attracting hundreds of (See Temple on Page 5)

W.V. schools back in session by Kourtney Balsan special to the View

It’s that time of year again when summer fun comes to an end. School supply shopping is in full swing, with half of West Valley districts already in session. School supply lists can be found at many local stores, and let pupils know what they’ll need to start out the year. The lists vary by grade and school — from clothes and crayons to calculators and paper, the lists go on and on. “The new school year means new clothes, new teachers, new friends and new learning opportunities for all kids,” said Gina DeCoste, principal at Mabel Padgett Elementary in Goodyear. “It’s always a thrill to see teachers feeling refreshed and enthusiastic as they prepare their classrooms to lead a new group of (See Supplies on Page 2)

(From Page 1) students toward academic achievement.” Pens, pencils, crayons, erasers and notebooks are among the supplies most commonly requested by teachers, said Shelly Hornback, coordinator of community information and partnerships for the Litchfield Elementary School District. “School supply shopping is optional. Public schools are required to provide a free and appropriate education for all children, including school supplies,” Hornback said. “Although districts provide the basics, parents often choose to provide school supplies to help their child feel organized, confident and ready to learn.” For families living below the poverty level, one nonprofit helps make back-to-school time a little easier. More than 10,000 children in 40 school districts across the Valley get assistance from Back-to-School Clothing Drive, said Karl Gentles, the organization’s executive director. “There are families trying to make ends meet, and typically school supplies, new school clothing and going back to school is down the line in their priorities,” Gentles said. Back-to-School Clothing Drive is a 50-year-old nonprofit that provides millions of dollars worth of new school uniforms, clothing, backpacks and supplies to children in need all across the Valley, Gentles said. One in five pupils lives in poverty, and school officials report that if children don’t have clothes or supplies, they will often stay home from school, according to the nonprofit’s website. “The organization really looks to break down barriers to early childhood school success,” Gentles said. “Our foundation puts a child in the position where they don’t need to worry about their fundamental needs, they can concentrate on learning and getting an education without worrying what kind of shoes they have or what kind of backpack they have or the fact that they may not have the right supplies that can get them through the school year.” Each child receives around $300 in new clothing and a backpack full of specially packed supplies, Gentles said. The organization is always looking for donations and volunteers, who can visit backtoschoolclothingdrive.com for information. “We know that new school clothing, school supplies and outfits really do impact a child’s self esteem and self confidence,” Gentles said. “If you remember your first day of school, you remember what you felt like to show up to school with the items that everybody else has.”

Seasoned shopper Stephanie Howard of Goodyear has gone back-toschool shopping every fall for the last 15 years as a mother of three: Tate Clark, a fifth-grader, and twins Kaila Clark and Lindsey Clark, juniors in college. “I think it’s very important. It’s essential to provide our children with the tools needed so that they can be successful throughout the school year,” Howard said. “Kids feel a sense of ownership and pride coming to school on their first day with their new supplies to start out their new school year.” This time of year, retailers slash prices and provide coupons galore to entice parents to shop with them rather than a competitor. Howard said she makes it a point to shop at retailers that offer back-to-school deals. “I do try to take advantage of the sales retailers have prior to the school year starting. Sometimes, I will

As state and federal funding levels have continually decreased, more expense has been pushed to the local level,” she said. “Donations make it possible for schools to utilize their dollars for other essentials, such as technology, books and effective learning aids. We deeply value parents as partners in education. Every pencil, folder, healthy snack and every warm smile makes a big difference in our school community.” Since Howard shops for two different age groups, it makes school shopping more tedious, but she has everything bought and ready to go a week before her children’s first days, she said. “As the children grow, they need less creative items and more strategic items,” Howard said. “Instead of 24 colored pencils plus markers plus crayons, they may only need one set of markers and a protractor as they increase in grade level. In college, it varies significantly to just binders, dividers, notebooks and pens.” Although universities don’t have a generic list that can be found at stores, college students still need to purchase supplies, Kaila Clark said. “I will look at what I already have and then make a list of what I still need to get,” she said. “Back-to-school shopping used to be a big deal because it signified a fresh start to the school year and you anticipated what it would be like. However, as we’ve gotten older, I feel there is less excitement that surrounds it.” Buying school supplies is one of many ways to prepare for school, DeCoste said. Parents should also attend open house activities to establish relationships with teachers and staff right from the start. Children’s eating and sleeping habits should also be adjusted so they’re ready for school. “The first day of school is always bittersweet,” Howard said. “Sometimes, I wish you could freeze time. Before you know it, your child is going off to college. While you’re excited for them, it’s difficult because your nest isn’t full anymore.” Kourtney Balsan can be reached at Kbalsan@westvalleyview.com.

A 29-year-old man identified as Daniel Mason of Tonopah died Monday after he was struck by a semitrailer on eastbound Interstate 10 near 339th Avenue, officials said. Troopers responded at about 2:40 a.m. to reports of an accident involving a pedestrian, said Quentin Mehr, a spokesman with the Arizona Department of Public Safety. It’s unknown why Mason, who was involved in another collision moments earlier, stepped into the right lane of traffic, Mehr said.

Impairment hasn’t been ruled out as a factor in a two-vehicle collision late Sunday night on eastbound Interstate 10 near 415th Avenue in Tonopah, officials said. At about 11 p.m., a Honda Passport rear-ended another passenger vehicle traveling eastbound on I-10, said Quentin Mehr, a spokesman with the Arizona Department of Public Safety. The Honda rolled over and came to rest on the right

side of the road, while the other vehicle went to the left, Mehr said. Five people in the Honda — a man, woman and three children — were transported to a local hospital for treatment. Nobody in the vehicle was wearing seat belts, Mehr said. The woman, who was driving, was admitted to the hospital. The others were treated and released, he said. The driver of the other vehicle was uninjured, Mehr said. The crash is under investigation.

Buckeye police are continuing their search for a 10-year-old boy who went missing July 17. Jesse Wilson was last seen sleeping in his bed at 9:30 p.m. near Watson and Yuma roads. When his mother went to check on him four hours later, Jesse was gone. Police continued ground and aerial searches last weekend, said Sgt. Jason Weeks, a spokesman with the Buckeye Police Department. Police are following up on tips Jesse Wilson and checking surveillance videos in the area, Weeks said. Jesse is described as black, 4 feet tall and weighing 60 pounds. He has short buzzed brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen wearing a red T-shirt, unknown color shorts, and black socks and shoes. If you have seen him or know of his whereabouts, contact the Buckeye Police Department’s tip line at 623-349-6411 or 911. Information can also be sent to bpdtips@buckeyeaz.gov. Police urge people not to post possible sightings on social media, because they could get lost in the comments and take too long to be seen.

Jesse Mejia, 25, was sentenced July 29 to six years in prison for the August 2015 shooting death of his girlfriend at their Avondale home, officials said. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter and possession of marijuana for sale in May as part of a plea deal, court records state. Mejia will serve four yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probation following his prison time for the marijuana charge, records state. Avondale police responded at about 2:40 a.m. Aug. 29, 2015, to 911 calls that someone had been shot in the head near Third Avenue

and Riley Drive, records state. Family members directed police to the trunk of a car parked in the driveway, where they found the body of Yasmine Espinoza, 21, with a single gunshot wound to the head, records state. Mejia had fled the scene, but family members were able to contact him a few hours later and he agreed to meet police at the Walgreens on 107th Avenue and McDowell Road in Avondale, where he was taken into custody, records state. Mejia and Espinoza had been dating for seven years and had two children together, records state.

Four orphaned owls that were rescued in March from a nest in Tolleson will be released into the wild today. Their mother was shot out of the tree by a homeowner who said his family was afraid of the owls, officials with Arizona Game & Fish said. The man recently pleaded guilty to shooting the federally protected great horned owl and was ordered to pay more than $4,000 in restitution, officials said. Following their rescue, the owlets were placed with a foster female great horned owl at Liberty Wildlife. They will be released at the Robbins Butte Wildlife Area, about seven miles southwest of Buckeye. Robbins Butte comprises about 1,681 acres of desert upland, agricultural and relict riparian habitats that attract a variety of wildlife species, including great horned owls.

Man impaled by stick rescued at Skyline Regional Park by Emily Toepfer assistant editor

A man had to be rescued July 28 from a trail at Skyline Regional Park in Buckeye after his leg was impaled by a stick and he ran out of water, officials said. Firefighters responded at about 8:30 p.m. and spotted the man on Turnbuckle

Trail from the light of his cell phone, said Capt. Tommy Taylor, a spokesman with the Buckeye Fire Department. The man had been hiking since about 3:30 p.m. and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what trail he was on when he called 911, Taylor said. Crews hiked to the man, who was about a half-mile up the mountain and 150 to

200 feet off the trail, he said. The Phoenix Firebird 10 helicopter was used to lower the man off the mountain, and he was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Taylor said. He reminded hikers the importance of knowing which trail theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on, noting the marker numbers and telling someone

when and where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hiking. Hikers should make sure their cell phones are fully charged before heading out, and if hiking in the evening, should take a flashlight. The Avondale Fire Department, Buckeye Valley Fire District and Phoenix Fire Department assisted with the rescue.

UPROOTED TREES lie along Verrado Way Monday in Buckeye. Massive storms ripped through the West Valley July 29, taking down 155 power poles and leaving about 26,000 homes without power.

Temple (From Page 1) people, including some from Thailand, according to Darrell Kitchen, an American monk at the temple. The ceremony coincides with the end of the annual Rain Retreat, a three-month period when monks traditionally shelter at a temple during the Asian monsoon, said Kitchen, one of six monks currently assigned to the temple. Three monks will return to Thailand after the anniversary, he said. Kitchen said the temple is open to the public every day, but not all of its visitors are aware that it was the site of one of the region’s biggest news stories. It was Aug. 10, 1991, when six monks, one novice monk, a Buddhist nun and a lay person ranging in age from 17 to 71 were shot dead at the temple. Two Agua Fria High School students — Jonathan Doody, then 17, and Allessandro Garcia, then 16 — were convicted of the murders and sentenced to life in prison for killing the victims in an attempt to eliminate witnesses to a robbery at the temple.

transported to a local hospital as a precaution and was later released, Turner said. The children were uninjured. At the height of the storm, about 26,000 homes were without power, primarily in the West Valley and Buckeye, said Anne DeGraw, a spokeswoman with Arizona Public Service Co. As of Monday, less than 100 homes were still without power and the majority was expected to be restored by midmorning, DeGraw said. The storm caused almost as much damage as the entire 2014 monsoon. Two years ago, APS lost 268 power poles during the storm season, while 155 were knocked out last weekend, DeGraw said. “Every fire engine in Buckeye and Buckeye Valley was running calls on lines down and transformer fires,” Turner said. A wind gauge at the Southwest Regional Landfill on State Route 85 in Buckeye

Kitchen noted that the temple was a poor target for a robbery. “There is nothing in a Buddhist temple worth stealing,” he said. “There was nothing here of value worth taking.” Kitchen, who has been at the temple for three years, said he’s sorrowful about the crime, but his attitude also suggests a Buddhist approach. “I don’t fixate on the events,” he said. “I don’t hold grudges. I don’t put blame on anybody.” Kitchen said among visitors to the temple are busloads of school children and retirement home residents. He said 2,000 to 3,000 people attend the temple’s Buddhist New Year’s event. Some visitors meditate, Kitchen said. A female nun is popular among visitors because she speaks English, he said. A circular monument, with a plaque for each victim, is a permanent reminder of what happened at the temple. Kitchen said he’s not superstitious, but he’s noted the bust of the temple’s murdered head monk atop the monument faces in a different direction every few months. “I think someone is going up there and turning it around,” he said.

Crews worked throughout the night July 29 fixing damaged police and informational technology generators, while street crews cleaned up downed trees throughout the city, Buckeye Public Works Director Scott Lowe said. The Buckeye Municipal Airport was also shut down for significant cleanup and repairs, Lowe said. His crews were also called out to Watson Road after a broken irrigation line in the median shot water across three lanes of northbound traffic. “All in all, it was a very eventful weekend, and I am very proud of the significant efforts all of our crew members made to clean up the city after the storm,” Lowe added.

OUR VIEWPOINT

McCOY’S OPINION — Cagle Cartoons

EDITORIAL

Blood donation appointments still available We’re out for blood! Blood donations, that is. The West Valley View is hosting a blood drive from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. today in our parking lot at 1050 E. Riley Drive, Avondale. Don’t worry, we’re not gonna make you sit outside and bake in 100 degrees while giving the gift of life; United Blood Services is bringing its bloodmobile, which is set at a chilly 70 degrees. You might want to bring a sweater. Blood donations are down, way down. They usually are in the summer months. With children out of school, families take vacations, and giving blood is the last thing on their minds. Those same children, well teenagers anyway, also account for a large portion of blood donations during the school year when drives are held in high schools. What kid isn’t going to choose giving blood over solving algebra equations? If it gets them out of class for an hour, they’ll do damn near anything! But come summer, they aren’t usually scouting for blood drives. They’re on vacation, remember? But the Zika virus has really taken its toll on the state’s blood supply. When the outbreak first popped up on the radar, no test existed to detect it, so anyone traveling to countries where the virus was found had to wait 28 days upon returning to the states before he could donate. Mexico was one of those countries, and with Puerto Peñasco, or Rocky Point, being only a four-hour drive, a lot of Arizonans found themselves on the do-not-donate list. Well all that’s changed. A test has been created and the 28-day waiting period has been lifted. Now the challenge lies in spreading that information to the lifesavers — the donors — you. According to UBS, a lot of able donors still don’t know that the waiting period no longer exists. So let us reiterate it — you no longer have to wait 28 days to donate blood if you’ve been to a country with a known incidence of Zika. Appointments are still available by visiting www. bloodhero.com, clicking on the “Locate a Blood Drive” tab and entering “West Valley View.” Walk-ins will also be accepted, but appointments are best for those not keen on waiting. And remember, a cool, 70 degrees awaits you. Why buy a movie ticket to get out of the heat when all you have to do is give a little blood? You’ll even get free snacks! We’ll see you at the bloodmobile!

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

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.

Our corrupted government Editor: When I was employed at Northrop Grumman on a supper classified program; Exchange of information amongst us was on a need to know basis. Everything we did was considered classified top secret and it had to be completely secured at all times. While I worked there, we had an incident. Two FBI agents walked into my section and arrested a coworker, that, caused his job and 45 days jail time, which was later suspended. The exception was, that he can no longer work on any government project. His crime! Playing games while using a government computer. After I heard the explanation of the head of the FBI Mr. James Comey in reference to Hillary R. Clinton, Email criminal investigation, I was flabbergasted. Although he

acknowledged that she was extremely careless in handling and securing confidential information. He said we will not charge her. Can you the reader relate to these two cases? One was playing games on a government computer and was arrested; the other was playing games with the nation’s security and was not charged. She was putting our lives on the line with her careless ignorance. Yet she could be our next president. Heavens forbid. I am sure there will not be any charges brought forward at the justice department. After all Mr. James Comey works for Loretta Lynch, head of the corrupt justice department. Talk about the corruption. Let’s see, first was Erick Holder now, Loretta Lynch not to mention a few others. I am sure she (Loretta Lynch) will not be pressing charges on the corrupted Clinton’s, on whatever the FBI investigate. Let’s not forget our beloved president with all the cover ups within his corrupt administration. He will forgive anything his minions do. As it is said, “IN WAR, TRUTH IS THE FIRST CASUALTY.”

Core beliefs at stake Editor: They cry peace, peace! Everyone longs for peace in their hearts and mind, yet it can be illusive when the country is in such turmoil. Pope Paul said, “to pray for peace without laboring for justice is to mock God!” Looking retrospectively on the Democratic Candidate, Hillary Clinton is an encumbrance on the future of her party, as President OBama has been for all of us, it must come to an end for the future of our country. If Hillary Clinton is elected we Christians will not only suffer more of OBama’s transformation of America but the attack on our faith will continue. Hillary said it herself, “That Christians must change their core teaching of their faith.” They tried this change of “God word” in her husband’s Presidential years and continued the onslaught in OBama’s reign. He, President OBama, changed our history books our children are now reading in schools. Proselytizing won’t stop there a subtle change could be done to

Social conservatism Editor: On Page 11 of Alex Meluskey’s paid advertisement for Senate he says, “As a social conservative, I challenge all to recognize our First Amendment was never meant as government control of religion, but precisely the opposite.” If he is making the claim that “precisely the opposite” means, religion can control the government, then I offer the following: The first commandment states: Thou shalt have no other gods before me. The First Amendment protects your right to worship any gods you want. The commandments state: Thou shalt not take the name of the lord thy god in vain. The First Amendment protects your right to take the name of any god in vain. The commandments state: Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. The First Amendment protects your right to disregard that commandment too, without being punished by the government. The First Amendment also protects your right to speak ill of your mother and father, and it protects your right to lie and

Re-elect Michelle Hess Editor: It is crucial that we re-elect Michelle Hess to represent District 3 on the Buckeye City Council. She is running for council for all the right reasons: to serve her community. She doesn’t have an agenda beyond listening to the citizens of Buckeye and making our city a better place to live. She has done so much already in the areas of public safety and education while also attracting jobs. No other candidate seems better fit for this position than Michelle Hess. We must re-elect her in the best interest of a better Buckeye. Marilyn A. Walker Vollmer Buckeye

sensible, and/or desirable. But his supporters don’t care. As long as he accuses Mrs. Clinton of multiple misdeeds — even though she has not been convicted of any of them — and wears that cool cap which copies Ronald Reagan’s 1980 slogan, they cheer him. An update of his campaign promises and my responses: 1) Build a wall on our southern border that no one can go around, through, under or over. Response: impossible. 2) Temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S. Response: un-American. 3) Bring manufacturing jobs back. Response: no chance — this isn’t the 1950’s. 4) Impose tariffs on goods made in China and Mexico. Response: U.S. consumers and businesses don’t want that. 5) Withdraw from NAFTA and TPP. Response: That would hurt the U.S. in the world’s markets. 6) Repeal Obamacare and privatize health coverage. Response: that was the problem six years ago that led to soaring costs and poor or no coverage for millions. 7) Renegotiate the Iran deal. Response: The alternative is war with Iran. 8) Leave Social Security as it is. Response: Experts agree it will be bankrupt in thirty years if Congress doesn’t raise the salary cap soon. 9) Cut taxes. Response: His tax cuts heavily favor the super-rich. 10) Rebuild our “weakened” military. Response: Congress sets the military budget, which is already the largest in the world by far. Many people excuse his racist, misogynist, demeaning remarks, his shady business dealings and his questionable private life. But even a little research and analysis of his campaign promises show that he is a flim-flam man unworthy of being our President.

Trump is a flimflam man Editor: The recent GOP convention/ circus did not give thoughtful people any reason to vote for Mr. Trump. Instead, he repeated his “top ten” campaign promises — none of which are possible,

For the sake of the truly humble Editor: I spent this evening listening to a rich-but-humble man describe how he will fix everything in America, for America. Effective the day he takes office in January. Among the many accomplishments only he can deliver will be an end to excessive regulations. In this brave, new world, will

it be safe to breathe our air? Or drink our water? Could we ensure those who pollute our homes and towns must stop and clean up? There is a good reason we regulate the rich and mighty: for the sake of the truly humble. Jeff Raible Litchfield Park

Guns and common sense Editor: Would like to respond to Mr. Flynn’s recent remarks on guns and the NRA. If someone were killed by a person using a knife or baseball bat, there would be no calls for banning knives and baseball bats would there? Of course not. In fact there are almost as many people killed in automobile accidents per year than with guns, approximately 32,000 in 2015 according to the CDC. Do we hear of any laws being proposed to ban cars? Do we hear of any laws being proposed to ban alcohol? In 2012 approximately 10,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents. Mr Flynn tells us that deaths involving cars are accidental......really? Try telling that to the victims of drunk driving.....or maybe to the people in Nice, France, who were killed by a maniac behind the wheel of a truck. The CDC estimates that of all persons killed with firearms in 2015, approximately 62% of those killed are suicides. Certainly we cannot put suicide in the same category as homicide. It’s not the same at all. While taking of your own life is certainly regrettable, it’s not murder! And those persons intent on committing suicide would certainly find other means if guns weren’t available. So the figure of people murdered is actually closer to 10,000, not 28,000. In other countries like Mexico and Brazil where gun laws are much stricter than the United States, their homicide rate with guns is much higher! How do you explain that Mr. Flynn? Could it be that (See Letters on Page 8)

chairman, Robert Graham, when presenting the Arizona vote for Trump, remarked that Arizona is the hottest state .... for jobs. Did Chairman Graham ever miss a golden opportunity to tell the entire nation about the many wonderful things about Arizona, or what ? It seemed to me that almost all the other states were given a “ shout out ” by their delegation from sports champions, to vacation paradise, to folk heroes and everything in between. Arizona is blessed with many wonders, and all Graham could say was that it is the hottest state for jobs ? The Chairman showed absolutely no imagination and did a disservice to our state. What he could have said, and probably should have said may have gone something like this, “ The great state of Arizona , home to the Grand Canyon, America’s most visited national park and one of the natural wonders of the modern world, and home to America’s toughest sheriff Joe Arpaio, land of the magnificent Saguaro cactus which grows in no other state but Arizona, the state which is home to Luke air force base, soon to be the primary training center for F35 stealth fighters, the proud home to Phoenix the nations fifth largest city proudly casts all its voted for Donald Trump ” With an estimated national audience of 35 million people, why the timidity by our delegation is puzzling. Maybe in 2020 the Republican party can let me go to the convention and call out the vote. I will be more than ready to extol the virtues of our magnificent state !

bear false witness against your neighbor, except under certain circumstances. My Goddess! How Socially Liberal the Founders of our country were, to have placed limits on our government from creating laws or punishing people for breaking 5 (literally half) of the ten commandments! So much for the claim made by Social Conservatives that our country is founded on “JudeoChristianity”. Matter of fact, there are more commandments for which our government doesn’t punish its citizens: Adultery, and coveting thy neighbor’s wife and house. That is a good thing for Donald Trump, (the candidate that the social conservatives want you to support). Social conservatism is nothing but a bunch of hypocritical phooey!

Cleveland circus Editor: Who says the circus doesen’t come to Cleveland? I just saw it last week. Some people named it the Republican Convention. It should have been named the lyers and clueless convention. The best speech was writen by a Democrat, you know copied by a Republican, from Michelle Obama.

To agree or not to agree Editor: My paper arrives anywhere from 4 to 7 days late all the time. I don’t blame West Valley View, it is the U.S. Mail serve! Because of the delayed arrival, I can’t stay current with all the other letters to the Editor! July 6th W.V.V. had 16 letters to the Editor including my own. I agreed with 12 including

my own of course. Avondale isn’t my home, so I can’t have a real opinion there. I didn’t give a thumps up to Mr. Orr, Mr. Vincent and Mr. Compton. Perhaps I just didn’t know enough about their evidence for Mr. Vincent and Mr. Compton. Mr. Orr is politically opposite of me, enough said! July 17th, West Valley View had 17 letters to the Editor, none mine. Liked Mr. Massey’s: Don’t have facts for Mr. Campanella: Hands lifted skyward Ms. Hewitt: Agree with Mr. Dyer: I don’t know about Meluskey, though McCain isn’t my kind of Conservative: Can’t agree with Ms. Truschel, Fox is my main station: I usually agree with Mr. Hammond and do again: Mr. Kalback, I’m a History major and taught American History for years, what nonsense did you read?: Mr. Posner has put me in my place before, but you had better recheck who the founders of this nation were!

Ostrich Obama Editor: As I watched President Obama’s partisan dispute of the state of America and our world in his Friday morning address, it became glowingly apparent that his head is stuck the sand. The President’s comments epitomized his apologetic denial of a failed administration. The President states, “This vision of violence and chaos everywhere doesn’t jibe with the experience of most people.” Just a few hours later tragedy in Munich Germany occurs. How can he minimize the assaults on American citizens and law enforcement over the past few weeks? Thank God this hasn’t

been the experience of most people; however it has been the experience of enough Americans to “Jibe” with the need for our President to act. America has to be growing tired of Mr. Obama’s acceptance of this violence with his standard rhetoric and empty encouragement that... “Tomorrow the sun will rise and the birds will chirp!” It’s a sad commentary that if elected, Hillary Clinton will maintain the status quo! George F Massey III Litchfield Park

Tough job & we make it tougher Editor: I was thinking back to when mom and dad told my sister and I that, besides your parents, there are three people you should always respect — your priest, your teacher and the police officer on the beat. Thinking about the police related tragedies of late, it occurs to me that we have somehow lost sight of the fact that our law enforcement community is losing the respect it so richly deserves. When there is a problem at school — call a cop. When there is domestic violence — call a cop. When some homeless person is acting strange — call a cop. Our society has imposed this incredible responsibility on the men and women who wear blue to be simultaneously a vice-principal, a marriage counselor, a mental health professional and a protector of our streets and neighborhoods. Just imagine for one second, what life would be like without those who carry a badge — total chaos and a complete breakdown of morality and decency. Next time you see a police officer, just say “thanks”. They have a tough job, and we have just made it tougher.

Editor: You say you love your family, so you will vote for Hillary. Let me remind you of a few families who trusted her. The family’s of the government workers sent to Bengazzie Libyia. They thought they would be protected by the government. They had been asking for help for months, but the Secretary of State (Hillary) and Obama wanted everyone to believe Lybia was a success. When trouble came, no help came. The fight went on for 13 hours. US planes and Marines were ordered to stand by. They were ordered to change uniforms several times, so no one would know they were US Marines coming to help. In the hours they could have helped, they were told to “ Stand Down”. Not one US asset came to their aid. Four men died. The only aid came from Libyian ex soldiers, and a private Jet. When the coffins came back. I heard Hillary tell the families “ this was caused by a film” It was a lie, but the man who made that film went to prison. No guilty person has yet to go to prison! Would you trust Hillary to protect your family? If you can handle the truth watch the movie “13 hours”. This story written by the men who lived it.

Litchfield Park Museum opens new exhibit The Doctor, the Dentist, and the Drugstore offers public look into city’s early health care; Open until early 2017 by Jack Hines III special to the view

Litchfield Park was originally born as a company town, like many of the towns in the Southwest. “Like logging or mining, Litchfield Park was a farming town.” said Judy Cook, vice president of the Litchfield Park Historical Society. The story of Litchfield Park began in 1917 when Paul Weeks Litchfield, a Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. executive, flew out from Ohio and found that the area was perfect for growing long staple Egyptian cotton, which was being used in tire production during World War I. At the time, cotton supply from Egypt was impaired by German U-boat attacks on maritime shipping, and cotton grown on the east coast was suffering from boll weevil outbreaks. The town originally started as Litchfield Ranch, and, in 1926, gained its modern name with the arrival of a post office, according to the Historical Society. At the time, it was primarily composed of the downtown area, which was mainly housing for workers and their families, along with some light amenities, such as a general store. The growing town needed the same things any town did — food, water and medicine. The answer to the final need came in the forms of Dr. Robert Hilton, Dr. George McMillan and the founding of a neighborhood drugstore. The Litchfield Park Historical Society and Museum’s newest exhibit, The Doctor, the Dentist, and the Drugstore, is open at 13912 W. Camelback Road, Litchfield Park. The museum is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. McMillan was born in 1906 in Jerome Junction, when Arizona was still a territory, Cook said. He sought a degree in dentistry at around the same time Hilton was reaching for a medical degree. After achieving their respective degrees, the two happened to meet in 1929 in Camp Verde and became fast friends. Litchfield Park had a hospital because of the outbreak of Spanish flu in 1918, but still needed a doctor for the less severe issues and more chronic cases, Cook said. In the early ’40s, Litchfield Park’s overseeing company, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., which mainly grew cotton for tire production, sent for Hilton to treat the ailments of workers and residents of Litchfield Park. After some time, the company decided a dentist was also needed, and heeded Hilton’s recommendation to bring in McMillan, Cook said.

The town quickly adopted McMillan as its dentist for his skill at tooth replacement and denture work, Cook said. Many of his tools are on display at the museum. “Most of his tools are for replacing teeth; this was before medicine was so technical.” Cook said.

Social hub The Litchfield Park Drugstore, which opened in 1928, sat on the corner of Old Litchfield Road and Honeysuckle Street, Cook said. The drugstore became a social hub for the town, offering soda and food, along with medicine. Interestingly, the drug store had a club called the Litchfield Drug Morning Social Club, according to the Litchfield Park Historical Society. Among its rules, which included mandatory coffee drinking, was that all members had to “meet in friendship, disregarding all political association and beliefs.” Another rule was that all members had to be Republicans. “We have a huge amount of their material, and can display all of it,” Cook said of the drug store. The exhibit offers a large variety of tools and artifacts to look at, from both the doctors and the drugstore. The new exhibit takes up a considerable portion of the museum, which still offers permanent fixtures and exhibits on different aspects of Litchfield Park’s history. The new exhibit will be open until early 2017, and the volunteers of the Litchfield Park Historical Society are always happy to answer questions at the museum, Cook said.

Business Briefcase by Shane McOwen staff writer

Howdy, all. Welcome to the Business Briefcase column. Congrats everyone, and say goodbye to July, the pinnacle of the Arizona heat season. July is, on average, the hottest month of the year for the Valley, and we just scaled the peak and are on our way down to the cool valleys of December and January. Still a long way off, but it’s the little victories in life, right? It’s hard to miss this with summer coming to an end, but it’s backto-school season. A lot of schools started today, and I can’t tell who’s Shane McOwen having a more difficult time dealing with it, students or teachers. The real winners are the parents, getting those pesky children out of their hair. Just kidding, they are the future.

Let’s get to the back-to-school edition of the Briefcase, chock-full of absolutely nothing to do with school starting. Mandy’s Fish & Chips will soon be going in at 725 N. Central Ave., Suite 117 in Avondale. The restaurant’s owners recently purchased the 1,600-square-foot unit, and should begin setting up shop in the near future. Early in July, the Briefcase reported that a Firehouse Subs was going to open at Parkway Village, near the southwest corner of Estrella Parkway and Roosevelt Street, by mid- to late-July.

Avondale voters have a choice of three candidates for mayor and five candidates for three seats on the City Council in an election that will reshape the membership of the city’s governing body. Mayor Kenneth Weise, who has been on the council since 2006, was appointed mayor two years ago to complete the term of Marie Lopez Rogers. In his attempt to be elected to the office, he’s facing a challenge from Vice Mayor Stephanie Karlin and former Council Member Frank Scott. The election will also produce three new faces for the council, replacing Karlin and Jim McDonald, who are termed out as council members, and David Iwanski, who was appointed to the council in 2014 and is not seeking election. In the running are Devin Del Palacio, Pat Dennis, Veronica Malone, Manny Murillo and Daniel “Mike” Pineda. Candidates win the Aug. 30 election by collecting a majority of the vote. Top vote getters in undecided races advance to a runoff on Nov. 8. Winners for the four-year terms will assume office in January and serve with Council members Bryan Kilgore, Sandi Nielson and Lorenzo Sierra, who were all elected in 2014. Candidates will participate in a community forum at 6 p.m. Thursday at the Conference Center at Estrella Mountain Community College, 3000 N. Dysart Road, Avondale. Early voting by mail starts today. Early ballots may be requested until Aug. 19. Early voting can be done at Avondale City Hall Monday through Thursday Aug. 8 to 25. The candidates’ unedited answers to a questionnaire sent by the West Valley View follow.

Mayor: Stephanie Karlin Age: 62 Last level of school completed: 18 years Degrees, certifications held: B.S Public Health, Registered Environmental Health Specialist/Sanitarian (REHS/ RS), Education, Environmental Compliance, Ergonomics, Governance and Leadership. Occupation: Currently Vice Mayor. Am retired. Years you have lived in the city: 26 years Boards and commissions you’ve served on: Served as Vice Chair of Parks and Recreation Board. Created Water and Wastewater Advisory Board, Stephanie Municipal Arts Committee and Environment, Energy, and Karlin Natural Resources (EENR) Board How many city council meetings have you attended in the last year? Have attended all but 3. In the past 13 years I have missed about 8 meetings. Why are you seeking re-election to the council? I am running for Mayor. Being mayor of a city requires someone who is able to preserve the best of our past, while we create a more vibrant and just future. Avondale is my home and I have helped lead Avondale through its many changes as an active citizen, city council member, and vice mayor with the belief that you create your community together. I have a vision of helping to create a vibrant community where we can be proud to live. The city council of 2017 would be a great team to work with. Do you support term limits? Why or why not? I accept the will of the voters that Avondale has term limits for elected officials. What is the top issue the city faces, and what action will you take on that issue if you are elected? In order for Avondale to not be left behind in the 21st century, we need to be competitive and visionary. Businesses and employers look at what communities have to offer. They look to see how well people work, learn and play together. It is positive energy that will attract potential employers. By “Creating a Place” with Quality of Life (recreation/ parks, arts and culture scene, clean water, open spaces, and other amenities) jobs will come. It is the energy and innovation created by our residents working together that attracts employers to Avondale. Building a community that is vibrant and energetic, needs special events and activities that promote active participation by Avondale residents. Let’s create an open cultural mind set and have pilot projects, experiment with new types of music, art, festivals, recreation and other types of activities that our residents can enjoy quality of life opportunities close to home. As Mayor, I will be constantly working to connect people to facilitate a vibrant community. Together, we can make sure Avondale is an amazing place to call home. What do you offer as a candidate that your opponents do not? My education and vast experience includes working internationally, nationally, and regionally with governments, non profits and businesses. I can “see” the big picture and am known as a visionary. I am a team builder and am able to get diverse people to work towards common goals. I have been recognized and honored

by President’s Carter, President Bush Sr and Jr, and President Clinton for the work I have done internationally and regionally in various communities. Because of my background in environmental issues, my fellow peers call me the “Green Goddess”. I am a strong advocate for being sustainable and resilient. I promoted recycling in Avondale and we had the highest approval rate of any city in Arizona. I value the importance of schools and education. As Mayor, I will bring the city and school leadership together so we can work together to support one another as well as encourage our youths, not only as “Leave No Child Behind” but as the 1st city to become a Kids at Hope community. I am committed to education, workforce development and providing a supportive environment so every child can succeed. The council is elected to represent its constituency, yet at some point their wishes and beliefs will likely be contradictory to your personal beliefs. How will you arrive at your vote? I am elected as a voice and representative for the residents but the residents may not have all the information. For example, I disagree environmentally and public health wise for gas stations to be placed at every corner but yet residents may want it for convenience. I try to make decisions that will encourage a healthy, safe and thriving community. What specific practices will you implement to keep in contact with your constituents? Information, communication and personal interaction with residents is very important. Nowadays, we have various media available to us such as websites, email, FaceBook, Twitter, etc. Different generations use different forms of media in order to communicate. We need to use a blend in order to reach our residents. But personal social interaction helps people feel they belong and are being listened to. As Mayor, I would like to have regular conversations at local businesses to explore new ideas and improved ways of serving the community. These conversations, to be held at coffee shops, restaurants, and local meeting places accomplish two things. First, I will always be working with you to improve and re-energize our city and second, through these meetings, we will be supporting our local businesses. Coffee with the Mayor! Does your job place any restrictions on your ability to serve? None, as I am retired and can devote 100%+ to my community. What one question are you glad we didn’t ask? Are there any skeletons in your closet? I’ve lived a full life. I’ve had my fair share of setbacks/ struggles and successes which has contributed to my ability to relate and to connect to all types of people in different situations. I am honored and grateful for the people I have met and the experiences I have had.

Frank Scott Age: 60 Last level of school completed: 12th Numerous College Course Degrees, certifications held: Community Emergency Response Team. 2) Arizona Criminal Justice Information System Terminal Operator. 3) International Property Maintenance Code. 4) Blood borne Pathogens Training. 5) National Incident Management System. 6) Incident Command System. 7) Federal Emergency Management Agency. 8) Planning: Emergency Operations. 9) Community Planning and Capacity Building Recovery Support Function. 10) Pre-Disaster Recovery Planning. Frank Scott 11) Neighborhood Preservation Program. Occupation: Family Property Management Years you have lived in the city: 42 years Boards and commissions you’ve served on: 9 years on the Council, 2 as Vice-Mayor, Citizen Selection committee for Chief of Police, Charter Review Committee, and US Dept. of Justice grant Advisory Board, Chair of the Business Retention and Tourism Committee, National League of Cities Public Safety and Crime Prevention Steering Committee, Maricopa County Human Services Commission, President of the Southwest Lending Closet, EPA Community Advisory Group co-chair, Board Member of Not Hungry Tonight, Board Member of Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce, Maricopa Association of Governments Human Services and Community Initiatives Committee, Central Business District Advisory Board, Board Member of Southwest Community Network, Member of Luke Forward, Council selection committee for City’s Boards, Commissions and Committees. City Council Subcommittee for the Contributions Assistance Program, Western Avenue Merchants Association. How many city council meetings have you attended in the last year? 10 to 15 Why are you seeking election to the council? The primary reason is simple. I believe strongly in my abilities to provide unquestioned leadership in order to make tough decisions based upon my living, working, raising a family and service to my community that neither of the other candidates can duplicate. My door will always be open to anyone wanting to live, work, play or invest in Avondale. It is essential that we have a

Mayor who is willing to meet with and listen to entities regarding their questions, concerns, issues or projects and I promise to have an open-mind when having those discussions. No person running for Council or Mayor is more vested in Avondale then me. Do you support term limits? Why or why not? Yes I do. I am off the Council because of term limits. Change is good; it brings new people with new ideals. Looking back on my 9 years on Council, I see somethings I could have done better and others I wish I could have finished. I am proud of what I did accomplish. What is the top issue the city faces, and what action will you take on that issue if you are elected? 1 Attracting Businesses. Bringing Businesses and quality jobs is a priority; and, again, I believe my background and experience in owning and operating businesses in Avondale gives me an edge over my opponents. 2 Public Safety. It is another area that is on the top of my list. We can’t fall behind! Maintaining equipment and staffing is a top priority. 3 Being a family friendly community. Continue improving the qualities of our parks and recreation opportunities in our city. 4 Budget. Always stay on top of the budget. I will work within the council building a team with a consensus that incoming and siting Council members can buy into and accomplish the golds we set and move Avondale forward. My first moves will be strategic, and effective. Advance preparation so our new council can hit the ground running. I can change the climate and the atmosphere of our Council and that will change our city for the better. What do you offer as a candidate that your opponents do not? My background and experience in owning and operating several businesses in Avondale gives me an edge over my opponents. I know what it is like to meet the responsibilities and obligations directly related to making payroll, complying with regulatory requirements, addressing personnel issues and making sure my employees are motivated and satisfied with their work environment. I have over three and a half years of boots on the ground experience with the Avondale Police Department and our Fire Department Code Enforcement Division. I bring to the table an insight that far surpasses any of the other candidates. I will bring integrity, accountability and a Mayor that’s most of all, accessible. I will work for you the Citizens of Avondale. I am willing to offer my own ideas and time, political future and short-term popularity, in the search for new and better solutions to the challenges facing Avondale. I will be a proactive Mayor not a reactive Mayor. Lastly, I made the decision to self-fund my campaign so that there will be no doubt about how dedicated I am to doing what is right for Avondale. I will not be beholden to special interests or campaign donors. The council is elected to represent its constituency, yet at some point their wishes and beliefs will likely be contradictory to your personal beliefs. How will you arrive at your vote? In my 9 years on Council when I received phone calls or emails on any issue, I always made contact with the individual. I give a lot of consideration to people that live near a project. I listen, ask questions, perhaps bring a staff person to answer questions, or do whatever it takes to hear and understand someone’s point of view. I would then weigh the information and provide feedback and vote on what I think is best. What specific practices will you implement to keep in contact with your constituents? We should be televising, and or streaming Council meetings with a time stamp for each item on the agenda. That way if a person would like to listen to a certain item they could easily locate it. I would like to have a chat with the Council call in on 1 or 2 Saturdays a month with 1 or 2 Council members to ensure that we the Council are available to our citizens. My cell phone number and personal email has been public information since 2005. sgs2az@msn.com 602-397-1977 Does your job place any restrictions on your ability to serve? NO What one question are you glad we didn’t ask? Are there any skeletons in your closet? Was I my Mom’s favorite growing up? I was never skinny enough to think of skeletons, so I would say NO! My life is an open book.

How many city council meetings have you attended in the last year? I have attended all of them Why are you seeking re-election to the council? Two years ago, I was honored to be unanimously voted by my fellow City Councilmembers to fill the role as Avondale Mayor. Since that time, I have brought a committed mindset, intelligence, personality, and leadership skills to the Mayor’s office and have helped build a stronger Avondale. I knew from the moment I took office that I had to be laser focused on bringing in more businesses and economic opportunities — both large and small. We also needed to sustain our growth to ensure that we had the people and resources we needed to sustain essential city services. In addition, I also prioritized investment in our streets, water infrastructure, and our parks. The progress we have made in the last two years has been great to see, but I think we have more work to do. Avondale has been named one of the fastest growing economies in the state and we were recently named as a finalist for All American City. I have a proven track record of leading this city, and I believe we are on the right path. Do you support term limits? Why or why not? I was a supporter of amending the city charter to limit the amount of time elected officials can serve in Avondale. I think term limits help bring new blood with fresh ideas in government. Too many politicians have only worked for a government entity. They have no idea how private industry functions, or the burdens they face each day from bureaucrats who make rules without having any idea how those rules impact small businesses. I am a big supporter in public involvement and citizen participation. For Avondale to succeed, we need to reach out to residents and have them to serve on our boards, commissions, and city council. What is the top issue the city faces, and what action will you take on that issue if you are elected? There are two major issues that will have the biggest impact on Avondale over the next few years and both demand serious attention. First, we must focus on Avondale’s ability to attract quality, high paying employers to our city. We have been successful over the last 2 years expanding our employment base, but we need to take steps to attract employers that can change the way Avondale, and the entire West Valley is perceived. We need to ensure that Avondale has a business friendly environment and the skilled workforce these companies want to hire. These employers and the jobs they bring will allow us to invest more in roads, parks, and public safety. Second, we must also defend

against the continuing infringement on local control by the state legislature. The legislature sees municipalities and counties as a road block to Arizona being successful. The truth is that local government is far more successful at managing budgets, providing solutions to infrastructure needs, serving the public, and responding to resident’s needs. The state would be wise to partner with and take lessons from municipalities and counties instead of viewing them as adversaries all the time. What do you offer as a candidate that your opponents do not? I have a track record as Mayor that my opponents can’t match. I also have a history of fighting for Avondale, whether it’s attracting new economic developments, pushing for the widening of I10, or standing up for Avondale’s interests at the state level. I believe that I have the strongest track record of standing up for the residents of Avondale and a broader understanding of what it takes to make a fully functioning city that is open for business. My opponents tend to focus on one or two issues, but the truth is a Mayor needs to be well versed in how the entire city works. In addition, my business background makes me most qualified in developing and growing business relationships that will bring new employers and economic opportunities to Avondale. I have been working hard at it over the past two years and it’s already starting to pay off. The council is elected to represent its constituency, yet at some point their wishes and beliefs will likely be contradictory to your personal beliefs. How will you arrive at your vote? My wife Shari said to me a long time ago when I was deliberating on which way I would vote on an issue. She said, “Always vote the way that is best for the city, and you will never go wrong.” That advice has served me well over the last 10 years. I think you have to look at issues through the resident’s eyes, and really try and understand how your vote impacts them. I was elected to represent all Avondale residents, not just the ones who have the same opinions as I do. I think open and honest dialogue and a willingness to hear opposing viewpoints is something that gets lost in today’s political climate. My goal is to keep an open mind until I have heard all of the information on a subject. There have been times when I have changed my mind on an issue, because a resident has presented a viewpoint I hadn’t considered. What specific practices will you implement to keep in contact with your constituents? I am dedicated to making sure that I have as many opportunities as possible to speak with constituents and business owners in person and on social media. I spend a lot of time in the community, making sure to visit

different parts of the city — sometimes by car and other times by mountain bike. I like to visit neighborhoods, businesses, and churches to get a more complete picture of what is happening in Avondale. I am very proactive in visiting our small businesses and new businesses that are moving in to our city. Sometimes you need to ask questions knowing you may not like the answer. Asking the tough questions and listening to those answers has served me well in my time on council, and as Mayor. Does your job place any restrictions on your ability to serve? No, there are no restrictions on my ability to serve the residents of Avondale. What one question are you glad we didn’t ask? Are there any skeletons in your closet? I am glad that you didn’t ask me if I eat peanut butter out of the jar. Because here’s a secret — I do. It’s a guilty pleasure. But seriously, in my life, there are no skeletons, no buried bones, nothing that would make a good “suspense” novel. My life has been an open book, and I think for a public figure, that’s the best way to live.

Pat Dennis Age: 59 Last level of school completed: Bachelor’s Degrees, certifications held: Bachelor of Social Work Occupation: Currently retired Years you have lived in the city: 6 years Boards and commissions you’ve served on: I am a current member of the Parks, Recreation and Library Board as well as the Arts Commission. How many city council meetings have you attended in the last year? I have been attending the city council meetings since October 2015; I would estimate that to be 18-20 Pat Dennis meeting. Why are you seeking election to the council? First, I am running because I want smart growth for the City of Avondale. To me, smart growth means that as the City continues to grow, both residentially and commercially, that the City assesses new development based on how it impacts and improves upon Avondale’s quality of housing, businesses, jobs, schools, transportation, and the environment. Second, I want to bring my experience and leadership from my prior service as a Peoria City Council Member to ensure that Avondale develops and implements policies that ensure high quality services for its citizens. The City needs to reinvest in its parks and open spaces as well as lure sustainable economic development. Lastly, I am running because I want to make the council more accessible to the community it serves. I want to ensure that all voices from the community are heard so that as a City we can work toward sensible and economical solutions to address the City’s needs. Do you support term limits? Why or why not? No, I do not support term limits. I believe that the citizens are entitled to vote for whichever candidate they believe will best represent them. If a current council member is not responsive to the needs of his or her community, then the voters can make the necessary

change with their vote. Likewise, if you have a good representative that is responsive and addresses the community’s needs and is building a relationship with citizens, then the voters should be able to decide whether to reelect him or her. What is the top issue the city faces, and what action will you take on that issue if you are elected? Avondale’s main challenge is that the City is landlocked. Due to this limitation, we as a community, and myself as a council member, must demand that we grow in a smart and methodical way. As a member of the Avondale City Council, I promise to lead the council toward adoption of policies that ensure our community’s long term viability and sustainability. For example, the current Council has enacted a 2 million dollar incentive program that provides money to new development on a first come, first served basis. I do not believe that this is a good approach for our community to take. We need to have accountability for our investments and criteria upon which to base our decisions. We must ensure that all investments we make are toward creating development that grows our tax base, creates high quality jobs, and enhances Avondale’s future. What do you offer as a candidate that your opponents do not? I have dedicated my life to the advocacy of all people. I began my professional career as a social worker and have since worked as a child care administrator, served 12 years on the Peoria City Council, been a Chair of the Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Association, a member of the Maricopa County Associations’ Transportation Committee, worked as an Intergovernmental Affairs Coordinator for the City of El Mirage and most recently as Chief of Staff of Maricopa County Board of Supervisor District 5. These experiences and the relationships that I have built I fell will be an asset for Avondale. The council is elected to represent its constituency, yet at some point their wishes and beliefs will likely be contradictory to your personal beliefs. How will you arrive at your vote? I believe that my role as a council member is to represent the people of Avondale and to advocate for our community’s interests. It is important that people should sit and share information, communicate clearly so everyone works toward consensus and solutions. To ensure that I am always representing my constituents, I promise to always be available, transparent, and prepared. What specific practices will you implement to keep in contact with your constituents? First, I would like to develop a system that ensures that (See Meet the Avondale candidates on Page 14)

“Mayor Gamez is a proven, loyal public servant. He possesses a sincere, selfless commitment to the betterment of his community. Under his leadership the city of Tolleson has blossomed into a significant employment center while maintaining its smalltown character that is reflected in the Paseo de Luces downtown redevelopment. Tolleson has not taken one backwards or sidestep under his leadership; only pure progress that has improved the quality of life for Tolleson residents. There is no quit in Mayor Gamez and that’s what Tolleson continues to need; committed, proven leadership!” Paul Magallanez Retired Tolleson Economic Development Director

Why are you seeking election to the council? I am running for city council because as a Father of two young children I want to make Avondale the best place to raise a family, start a business, and have a high quality of life. Furthermore, I am running for city council to bring forth new ideas, innovation and to put people before politics. Do you support term limits? Why or why not? I support term limits because I believe it can cultivate new leadership. I also believe term limits hinder corruption and automatically put a check on consolidation of power. What is the top issue the city faces, and what action will you take on that issue if you are elected? After going door to door and speaking with residents I’d say the top issue is public safety. Residents want to feel safe in our communities at all times. With that said I want to ensure our Police officers and fire fighters have the resources necessary to deliver world class public safety. I will also work closely with block watch groups to ensure they are armed with information to good in our neighborhoods. What do you offer as a candidate that your opponents do not? I offer a community organizing background which has helped me build a greater rapport with our community and also allowed me to work with a diverse group of people for the greater good. In addition I offer prior elected official experience on a local and national level, serving as Vice President of the Tolleson Union High School District and as the Pacific Regional Director for the National School Board Association. I bring a wealth of knowledge regarding public education and its importance to our city. The council is elected to represent its constituency, yet at some point their wishes and beliefs will likely be contradictory to your personal beliefs. How will you arrive at your vote? There will be times when the council may not agree with each other. With that said, I will always side with the people. My duty and responsibility is to the people of Avondale. What specific practices will you implement to keep in contact with your constituents? • Mobile office hours • Social media • Community forums • Attend block watch and HOA meetings • Digital town halls Does your job place any restrictions on your ability to serve?

No, as a small business owner I am flexible and plan on serving as a full-time council member. What one question are you glad we didn’t ask? Are there any skeletons in your closet? I’m an open book. In fact, I would have welcomed more questions. I do not have skeletons in my closet.

all constituent concerns that are brought to the council are specifically addressed. In order to ensure that accountability, I would like the system to log resident concerns and document how they have been addressed. Additionally, I believe that Avondale’s home owners associations are a huge asset to the City. Expanding the outreach through notification to the HOAs that are affected by new commercial or residential development may help ensure that the City receives more resident input. Finally, I would like to make the council more accessible to the community by holding information sessions and bring those meetings into the neighborhoods. Does your job place any restrictions on your ability to serve? I am retired, and my commitments on my HOA board will not restrict me from serving. In fact, I believe that my connection to HOAs will be another avenue for me to be in continual contact with Avondale residents. What one question are you glad we didn’t ask? Are there any skeletons in your closet? I can not think of any question that I would feel uncomfortable in answering. The only skeleton — in my close — is for halloween :)

Veronica Malone Age: 42 Last level of school completed: Continuing Education in Computer Technology Degrees, certifications held: Leadership and Scrum Certification Occupation: Special Project Data Technician Years you have lived in the city: 30 plus Boards and commissions you’ve served on: Vice President and Member of La Joya Booster Club How many city council meetings have you attended in the last year? 4 Why are you seeking election to the council? Veronica I decided to become a Malone candidate for City Council to continue to enhance the quality of life for our families. I want to continue improvements to Avondale neighborhoods, education, quality of life and attract good quality jobs. I volunteer at my church

and schools for my children and I enjoy the interaction with our communities. I have gained lasting friendship with teachers, parents and students through volunteering. I want to serve on the Avondale City Council because I want this city to be all it can be for my family, and for others. Do you support term limits? Why or why not? Yes, I support term limits. Term limits ensure that rather than focusing on the next election, members will be focused on what they can accomplish for our constituents and for the city in their time in office. What is the top issue the city faces, and what action will you take on that issue if you are elected? I will continue to work for growth and retention for businesses in our community, along with working with our school districts in keeping our students on the forefront of our future. What do you offer as a candidate that your opponents do not? As a longtime resident of Avondale, I know the history of the city. Being involved in the community and going to council meetings has opened up a new perspective regarding our city that I once did not have. I enjoy working in my community and I felt this was the next natural step for me. I look forward to finding solutions that will work within our city and neighborhoods. I am confident with my energy and enthusiasm for growth and improvement, that we as a community will continue to grow and prosper. The council is elected to represent its constituency, yet at some point their wishes and beliefs will likely be contradictory to your personal beliefs. How will you arrive at your vote? I am certain even with contradictory personal belief, we can always come to an agreement or compromise of some sort. One person will not always make everyone happy, but we can all agree to disagree and yet come to a compromised decision. I think we can do this by communicating first the resolution we do not agree upon and how we can meet half-way. By communicating and listening to one another, is how I will arrive on my vote. What specific practices will you implement to keep in contact with your constituents? I am currently an active community member through my church and through my children’s school and their activities. The City of Avondale host events throughout the year where I will be able to meet with constituents. During these hosted events I will develop relationships with the community and lasting friendships. I will continue to meet with the constituents through these events, be available and accessible. City Council meets

twice a month giving me another opportunity to also meet with constituents as well as the use of social media. Does your job place any restrictions on your ability to serve? No What one question are you glad we didn’t ask? Are there any skeletons in your closet? No

Daniel “Mike” Pineda Age: 41 Last level of school completed: Graduate School Degrees, certifications held: Master’s degree (Secondary Education), Bachelor’s degree Business Administration Occupation: Small Business Analyst Years you have lived in the city: 14 Boards and commissions you’ve served on: Littleton Elementary School District Governing Board currently serving as Vice President. Previously served as President and member. Daniel Pineda How many city council meetings have you attended in the last year? One in person. However, I closely follow the minutes from the council and planning and zoning commission. Why are you seeking election to the council? As a resident of Avondale, I often find myself questioning the decisions that are made that affect my family and I. Whether it be an increase in utility rates, economic development, or lack of facilities for city residents each become a concern that I have limited ability to change. As a business analyst working with small business owners in the city, I also routinely hear that it can be difficult for them. Planning and zoning issues present obstacles that the owners have limited resources to face, correct, and change. Therefore, instead of just viewing from the sidelines, I have decided to run for the council. Do you support term limits? Why or why not? Definitely! I have voiced this opinion with many levels of politics whether at the local or federal level. (See Meet the Avondale candidates on Page 15)

I want Avondale to be a place that you can live, work, play and invest. With new company’s investing and putting down roots in Avondale, bringing good paying jobs and helping existing companies with growth and expansion in our city. Keeping our families and communities safe while working for all citizens and neighborhoods of Avondale is ﬁrst and foremost. I am decisive, determined and dependable. A leader with proven performance who genuinely cares. A leader who listens. I want parents to know that their kids are safe and have the best opportunities. I want to work alongside our Schools to provide the best education possible for our

children. I want to ensure that our senior citizens feel valued. I will set goals that are not impossible to achieve, yet are challenging to accomplish. The biggest impact that a new mayor can have from day one is to really look deep down and see what’s going on within our city government. We need to look at a lot of areas in terms of transparency and accountability and that’s one thing we really need to work on. “Teamwork” without four Council votes, bold visions and ideals are certain to be dead on arrival. I will work within the council building a team with a consensus that incoming and sitting Council members can buy into. We will accomplish the

goals we set and move Avondale forward. My ﬁrst moves will be strategic, and effective. Advance preparation so our new council can hit the ground running. Common sense means good government. I can change the climate and the atmosphere of our Council and that will change our city for the better. I made the decision to self-fund my campaign so that there will be no doubt about how dedicated I am to doing what is right for Avondale and not be beholden to special interests or campaign donors. This decision was not reached lightly, and it was done with the full support of my family. I want to earn your vote.

My entire take home salary as Mayor will be doanted to the 100 Club of AZ My wife, Carolyn, and I raised our two children, Bambi and Preston, in Avondale. Watching them grow into adults and having kids of their own has been our greatest joy and our most rewarding accomplishment. We are fortunate that our children stayed in the area to raise our ﬁve beautiful grandchildren. Giving back to our city, where I have lived and worked for over 35 years, has always been important to me. Like me, I want everyone to be proud to call Avondale Home.

residents to come and speak to me to voice their issues and concerns. It is routine that I speak with families and district employees often where they feel comfortable to communicate with me. During my time collecting signatures, I had several conversations with residents that allowed me to hear their thoughts and opinions specific to city issues and concerns.What a pleasure it would be to continue to have this dialogue with the community as their councilman. Does your job place any restrictions on your ability to serve? No. They have been very supportive of my venture. As a matter of fact, I would like to thank them for the support they have provided and the kind words that they have expressed! What one question are you glad we didn’t ask? Are there any skeletons in your closet? I was actually prepared for any and all questions. As for skeletons, I cannot think of any. Glenn Gullickson can be reached at ggullickson@westvalleyview.com.

As residents of our city, some of us have decided to try and take our passion to serve and affect change within the council chambers. Council members are nothing more than elected members of the city. Our job is to make decisions based upon the voice of city residents. Therefore, once we have been given our time to do just that, we should step aside and allow for input of new and fresh ideas of others. What is the top issue the city faces, and what action will you take on that issue if you are elected? Strategic planning is one of the most important issues our city faces. If you have driven around the city, it does not take long to see where the focus has been placed. If you look to the east there are plenty of places for dining, shopping, and entertaining. However, with a corridor like Avondale Boulevard, there should be focus on developing areas in the interior with small businesses driving the economic impact. I know that developers make their decisions based on feasibility studies and economic drivers however, the city can entice them to develop as they do with other projects. I will look to ensure this oversight is addressed as developers look to grow within the city What do you offer as a candidate that your opponents do not? When I work with a business whether it be a startup, stage two, or matured, I always ask them to tell me what is their value service proposition. If it cannot be defined, then how can they separate themselves from the competition? I

feel that my differentiator is my experience in business and education. I have counseled residents in their development of business with the city and understand the benefits and limitations they have in Avondale. I also have the experience monitoring and approving large budgets as part of a governing body with the Littleton Elementary School District. I have lived in the west valley since 1982 and attended Littleton and Avondale schools. I am also proud to call myself an Agua Fria Owl! The council is elected to represent its constituency, yet at some point their wishes and beliefs will likely be contradictory to your personal beliefs. How will you arrive at your vote? There have been several times that I have had to vote in favor of issues with the school board that I personally did not agree with but felt that the overwhelming support from the teachers and community warranted an alternate decision. As I have mentioned before, I am there to represent the residents of Avondale first! One viewpoint that I would like to add is that it is important that residents take time to attend meetings or follow the minutes of the council meetings. In my experience with the LESD governing board, we only see a large turnout of community members when the issues are of high importance. Although obvious, it helps to know that as an elected official who is making decisions that affect them, there is some effort that is put forth to be up-to-date on decisions we make on their behalf. What specific practices will you implement to keep in contact with your constituents? I plan on making visits to public areas that will allow

JUSTICE COOK, left, of Agua Fria goes up for a layup against a Cesar Chavez defender Dec. 4, 2015. Cook has signed on to play college basketball at Cabrillo College in Aptos, Calif.

Cook chooses Cabrillo College Agua Fria grad heads to NorCal community college by Shane McOwen sports writer

Justice Cook helped lead Agua Fria to the Division II basketball state championship game during his last season as an Owl, and will now take his talents to the

next level in California. Cook signed on to play basketball at Cabrillo College in Aptos, Calif., about 40 miles south of San Jose and the Bay Area. Cabrillo is a public community college and competes in the Coast Conference in the California Community College Athletic Association. Cook’s decision came late in the recruiting process, but he feels he made the right decision, he said. “The coach and I had been emailing back and forth,” Cook said. “He gave me a call a couple of days ago

offering me. After I got the call, I talked it over with my mom, and we decided it would be a great decision because of the place it was and the coach’s character. The whole program seemed like a great fit for me.” Cabrillo finished the 2015-16 season as the Coast Conference co-champions, the team’s fifth conference title in six years. The Seahawks are led by Tony Marcopulos, and the 2016-17 season will be his 18th at (See Cook on Page 17)

AIA rundown High schools see alignment changes for 2nd year in a row by Shane McOwen sports writer

Another year, another Arizona Interscholastic Association change. For the second time in two years, Arizona high schools have been realigned into new conferences and regions for the 2016-17 academic year. Fall sports practices have begun. Here are a few pieces of information to get ready for the high school sports schedule. For older fans, the first change will be familiar. The AIA has moved on from the Division and Section classification system used for the last five seasons, and will move to use conferences and regions for alignment. Schools have been placed in conferences ranging from 6A — largest enrollment — to 1A. Regions have replaced sections, and will again (See AIA on Page 17)

DRE’AUNN JOHNSON, left, of La Joya chases down a Yuma ball carrier in a Division III game Sept. 11, 2015. With the AIA’s new alignment, La Joya will now compete in the state’s top class, 6A.

(From Page 16) be referred to by names rather than numbers. For example, Desert Edgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football team will now compete in the 5A Desert West region, as opposed to Division III, Section V, as they did in 2015. Schools will also be aligned on a school-wide basis, rather than placed by sports. Conference and region association will remain the same for all team sports, excluding sports schools donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t participate in, such as golf or badminton. Last season, Millenniumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s badminton, baseball, boys and girls basketball, boys and girls soccer, and boys and girls tennis competed in Division I, while football, softball and volleyball were in Division II. Agua Fria actually had sports across Divisions I, II and III in 201516. Now, each sport for a school has been placed across one conference. Schools were placed on an enrollment basis rather than mostly performance-based as in the previous year. As a result, conferences are more balanced. Division I football only had 17 teams in 2015, with 16 making the playoffs. In 2016, 16 teams will still set the playoff bracket, but the pool competing for those spots has grown to 40. Division III volleyball was another extreme case last season. Division III had 80 teams, far more than any other division, with 32 making the playoffs. This season, the equivalent conference, 4A, will have 44 teams with 16 making the postseason. West Valley teams will be very familiar with one another in this alignment. La Joya, Millennium, Tolleson and Westview will compete in the 6A Southwest region across all sports, along with Glendale Copper Canyon and Surprise Valley Vista. Agua Fria, Desert Edge and Verrado are in the 5A Desert West region with Phoenix Barry Goldwater, Phoenix Deer Valley and Lake Havasu. Buckeye, Estrella Foothills and Youngker will face off in the 4A Southwest region with Casa Grande Gila Ridge and Yuma. Tonopah Valley was placed in the 2A West region with Welton Antelope Union, Kingman Academy, Bullhead City Mohave Accelerated, Parker and Goodyear Trivium Prep Academy. The fall sports season officially begins Aug. 19 with Zero Week football games. Shane McOwen can be reached at smcowen@ westvalleyview.com or Twitter @ShaneMcOwen.

JUSTICE COOK of Agua Fria drives to the basket in a game against Cesar Chavez in 2015. Cook, who helped the Owls reach the Division II state championship game last season, is continuing his playing career at Cabrillo College in Aptos, Calif.

Cook (From Page 16) the school. Cook was also offered by Presentation College in Aberdeen, S.D. Ultimately, Cabrillo seemed like the better fit, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I decided to take Cabrillo because everything that the coach stood for,â&#x20AC;? Cook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was leaning more toward Cabrillo because of the setting itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in California, [and] I love California.â&#x20AC;? Cook plans to study business and marketing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The education, of course, is exactly what I was

looking for,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It worked out perfect.â&#x20AC;? Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next step is taking the required placement tests to get his class schedule filled out. He heads to the school Aug. 19. Cook was a mainstay on the Owlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; varsity roster that went 28-3 last season, including a 24-game win streak. He averaged 5 points per game, 2 rebounds and 2.5 assists. He was tied for the team lead with 1.5 steals per contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still in the process of reflecting on my emotions,â&#x20AC;? Cook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready] to do my own thing and start the next chapter in my life. To me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of me growing as a person and being able to function on my own, live by myself and basically start new things in my life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to God, and thanks to my mom, for everything.â&#x20AC;?

by Shane McOwen sports writer

If I had a nickel for every time I heard July described as a dead period for sports, I’d have entirely too many nickles. Since they’re an impractical currency to carry around in large quantities, I’d be pretty annoyed, too. July has a reputation for being a boring month for sports, deservedly so. I’ve learned the month can be a gold mine for sports, you just have to know where to look. Chris Sale must have been feeling the same July blues, bored of going out every five days to take the mound for the Chicago White Sox. Why else would a grown man resort to vigilantism in honor of the fashion police? Sale went to team management Shane McOwen with complaints about having to wear the White Sox’s 1976 throwback uniforms. He was shot down, and decided to take matters into his own hands. Well actually, he took scissors into his own hands. Sale went into the clubhouse during batting practice and cut up everyone’s uniform — all 25 players plus additional coaches — forcing the White Sox to bend to his will and ditch the throwbacks. It worked. The Sox couldn’t wear the uniforms that night, and had to switch to a throwback from the 1983 season. Unfortunately for Sale, he would wear no

Solis continues spectacular season for Nationals Sammy Solis, a 2007 graduate of Agua Fria High School, continued his dominate season on the mound for the Washington Nationals over the weekend. Solis made three scoreless appearances against the San Francisco Giants, throwing 3.0 innings and only giving up one hit. Through Aug. 1, Solis has a 2.16 ERA in 33.1 innings on the season. He’s struck out 39 batters for the National League East leading Nationals. The Nationals play the final game of a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks at 12:40 p.m. today at Chase Field in Phoenix.

uniform that evening. The White Sox sent him home, and eventually suspended him for five games. This really is the best story of the year, and it didn’t stop there. Like most incidents of this nature, Sale eventually apologized to the team. Except, not really. He apologized for how he handled things, i.e. turning the jerseys into an arts and crafts project, but he admonished the team for placing business ahead of on-field performance. “Do I regret standing up for what I believe in? Absolutely not. Do I regret saying business should not be first before winning? Absolutely not,” Sale said in an interview with MLB.com. He even tossed White Sox manager Robin Ventura under the bus for not backing up his players. A childish act followed by a “sorry-not-sorry” apology? Reality TV can learn a thing or two from this ordeal. This isn’t about taking sides, because both have a point. Sale acted like an angsty teenager pouting after he didn’t get his way, but do the White Sox really need to wear uniforms from a season where they finished 64-97? Why are they trying to commemorate that? The White Sox have a history of putting business before winning. They’re the famous architects of the Disco Demolition Night in 1979. A crate filled with disco records was blown up on the field between a doubleheader, and the event turned into a riot. Chicago was forced to forfeit the second game of the night. The White Sox are also the only team to trot out on the field wearing shorts, so it’s hard to say they have a lot of credibility in that department. Who among us hasn’t blown something trivial out of proportion at one point or another? That’s all this was. Fortunately for the masses, we don’t have multiple beat writers covering our day-to-day

operations. Speaking of blowing things out of proportions, Tom Brady’s four-game suspension was upheld in federal court in July. Everyone’s favorite topic came back to life, and we had a few more weeks to digest it. I might need some Tums. It was crazy for the National Football League to levy out this sort of punishment based on how it tried to stack the deck against very little evidence presented. It seemed like a witch hunt in the beginning, and it only got worse. The NFL and the Players Association are marching toward a battlefield when the next collective bargaining agreement is negotiated, and it’s not going to be pretty. July had its moments, and we all made it out unscathed this year. That’s not including the curious case of LeBron James remaining a free agent. All of the excitement must have been too much for James. He brought the Cleveland Cavaliers the team’s first ever title in June, but has yet to re-sign with the Cavs, or any team in the National Basketball Association, for that matter. By the way, free agency opened up July 1. Thanks LeBron, for sitting this one out. We definitely had enough on our plate to discuss this July. The sports calendar has moved on to football, as NFL training camps have opened, officially quenching the sports fans’ thirst for something to happen. Me? I’m going to miss the ridiculousness. Here comes the age of more sprained ankles, and less sprained egos.

and second-round draft selection of the Washington Nationals, has shown improvement in Year Two of his professional career. Perkins is hitting .248, for the Auburn Doubledays, a Class-A team in the New York-Penn League. Perkins hit .211 in the Gulf Coast Rookie League in 2015. Perkins has raised his on-base plus slugging percentage nearly 100 points from last season, from .548 to .646.

John Albert (Ab) Miller John Albert (Ab) Miller passed away peacefully on July 20th, 2016 surrounded by friends and family. Born in Waterloo, Iowa, Ab was raised on the family farm in North Dakota. While stationed at the Pentagon he met the love of his life Betty Jo (Bettes) Manfuso. Shortly after they married, they moved back to the farm in North Dakota. Over the course of the next 50 years, they raised 4 boys. In 2005 they moved to Boise, Idaho to be closer to family. Ab was a very family focused man. During the summer he would spend time with his children at his cabin in Canada teaching them to ¿sh and water ski. The meaning of “herding cats” can be seen watching four little boys in a small boat with ¿shing poles. This family tradition continued a generation later with Ab entertaining his grandchildren. While Ab traveled frequently in his job, he would occasionally take one of the boys with him on his work travels. This resulted in a great deal of quality time traveling and meeting with his varied customers. In his spare time Ab loved playing golf. After retiring, Ab and Bettes would spend the winter in Phoenix where they established a great network of friends. Ab was preceded in death by his wife Bettes and his son Thomas Garnett. He is survived by his four sons, Hume and wife Paula, Tony, Louis and wife Patti, Davis and wife Mary and 5 amazing grandchildren; Katy, Christy, Logan, Duncan and Luke. Ab will be greatly missed by all those who had the opportunity know and love him. A special thanks goes out to the staff at Plantation Place assisted living. Their care and love left a lasting mark on Ab and his family. A service will be held on Thursday, July 28th at 2:00 as St. Michael’s Cathedral in Boise. In lieu of Àowers, contributions can be made in memory of Ab to St. Michael’s Youth Ministry, 518 N. 8th, Boise, ID 83702

Maria Magdalena (Raab) Peck Maria Magdalena (Raab) Peck 81, of Avondale, AZ, with her family by her side, passed away Tuesday July 26th, 2016 leaving a legacy of helping others and a spirit of devotion to church, family and true friendship lives on. Maria was born November 1934 in Wartenberg, Germany; only child to Josef and Therese (Rasthofer) Raab. When her beloved father, who called her his mousie, went missing during the war at her young age of 11, Maria and her mother remained in Wartenberg where they attended daily Mass and she completed her elementary schooling. After completing Middle School, she went on to attend her trade schooling as a Nurse’s assistant at a children’s orphanage, beginning her life of service and helping others. In 1955, while attending a local Wartenberg festival and dance, Maria met Curt, a handsome airman in uniform who swept her off her feet and take her on a lifetime journey around the world while raising 3 beautiful children. In 1975, after many years of traveling with the Air Force, they settled down with their family in Phoenix, AZ. This year, they celebrated 60 years of marriage by renewing their wedding vows with their children as witnesses. Maria’s life was fully lived through the remarkable and vast stories she shared of her childhood in Germany during World War II, her travels around the world and many pilgrimages, serving 15 years of service to special needs children as a teacher’s assistant with the Pendergast School District, volunteering as team mom for Pop Warner and her membership with the St. Augustine Catholic Church. Her true passion was spending countless hours crocheting thousands of bears that she would donate to local charities including the police and ﬁre departments, The Children’ Hospital and the Child Crisis Center. She was known to always carry a few bears in her car to give out to the children she would see when she was out and about. This year she was honored by Golden Corral for raising money with her handmade bears to send military children to Camp Corral. Her beautiful life will forever be cherished and her spirit of helping others lives on with her husband S.C. Peck of Avondale, AZ; her 3 children Christl Trimm (David) of Glendale, Eva Haas (Fred) of Glendale, AZ and Curtis Peck (Kris) of Dewey, AZ. 3 grandchildren Christina Page (Brad) of Berkeley Springs, WV, Theresa McNeal of Dewey, AZ and Michael Peck of Phoenix, AZ; 3 Great Grandchildren Tristen Poe and Mikaila Ek of Berkeley Springs, WV and Noah McNeal of Dewey, AZ, amongst the hundreds of family and friends whose lives she enriched everyday with her spunky German attitude and love of people. Visitation was held Saturday July 30, 2016 at 10:30am with funeral at 11:30am both located at Chapel of the Chimes mortuary in Glendale, AZ.

Attorney General warns public of home security scams View report

Attorney General Mark Brnovich is warning of door-to-door home alarm security scams. The scam involves misleading statements to get consumers to sign up for home alarm contracts or switch home alarm monitoring services. The scammers may pretend to be affiliated with consumers’ current home security companies, telling consumers their equipment needs to be upgraded or replaced, or that their current company is going out of business and the company the scammers represent will be taking over the monitoring service. The attorney general offers the following advice: • Always be on guard when approached at home and never feel obligated to answer the door, especially when home alone. • Ask to see a salesperson’s identification and permit that allows him or her to engage in home solicitations in your city. • If you already use a home security system, contact that company to confirm any statements made regarding your account or service. • Do not get pressured into signing any documents or installing any equipment immediately; a reputable company will allow you to review all terms and conditions before asking you to sign a contract or install equipment. Arizona law gives consumers until midnight of the third business day to cancel home solicitation sales purchases in writing and sellers must return any payments made within 10 days of the cancellation. If you believe you are the victim of consumer fraud, contact the Attorney General’s Office at 602542-5763 or file a complaint online at www.azag.gov/complaints/consumer.
