Hello again, everyone, and welcome to the Business Briefcase! It’s good to be back. As you can tell, your Briefcase host made it back from Iceland without incident. I made sure to stay a respectful distance from the various volcanoes scattered about the island. And yes, the trip was real, not part of an elaborate April Fools’ Day hoax. April 1 quietly came and went for your Briefcase host. I’m not usually big on playing practical jokes, mostly because I don’t want to deal with the consequences of getting pranked in return. I’m also not willing to put that much work into irritating a friend, coworker or family member. Seems there are many unintentional ways of getting that job done. The origin of April Fools’ Day seems to be a tricky (pun intended) thing to nail down. The internet tells me The Canterbury Tales, written in 1392 in medieval England, contains the first recorded association between April 1 and foolishness. One hundred years before Columbus sailed the ocean blue! Here are this week’s business updates, no tricks included. First up, Solterra Avondale is in the very early stages of coming to the city along the south side of Van Buren Street, just west of Fourth Street between Dysart and Litchfield roads. The ownership group has formally submitted a rezoning application to allow the development of an assisted living and memory care facility. Solterra has five senior living communities in Arizona: two in the Valley, and one each in Lakeside, Tucson and Yuma. There’s still a ways to go on this project until the groundbreaking with various city meetings, but keep an eye out for it. (USPS 004-616) is published weekly by West Valley View Inc.

For information on Solterra, visit solterrasl.com. My editor passed along a reader tip that let us know The Attic at the White House, 127 E. Western Ave. in Avondale, has now closed. The Attic opened in 2005, and was a thrift store that was run by volunteers and offered household items, clothes, toys, electronics and office supplies among other donated items. It looks like the thrift store closed up shop about a month ago. Another reader tip has let the Briefcase know that G’s Food restaurant is now closed. G’s was at 10328 W. Indian School Road in Avondale, and specialized in cheesesteaks, hot dogs and bratwurst. The Briefcase wasn’t able to get in contact with the owners for more detail. As with most closing announcements, it’s not always easy to get a hold of the folks who ran the joint, and often times even if you do, they’re not keen on discussing details. The Briefcase will share more if any information becomes available for G’s. That’s all for this week, folks. It’s a bit of an abbreviated edition, since your Briefcase host only had a couple of hours to hit the trails for this week’s inclusions. We’ll get back to the regularly scheduled Business Briefcase columns next week. The Business Briefcase can be reached by email at smcowen@westvalleyview. com or on Twitter @ShaneMcOwen. Thanks for tuning in. Have a great week.

LITCHFIELD PARK ARTIST SANDRA CAMP stands in front of a work-in-progress acrylic landscape painting Jan. 16 in her garage. One of Camp’s paintings, titled “Celebration,” will be featured in an exhibit at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Oregon.
Local artist’s work to be exhibited Litchfield Park painter’s abstract part of show in Oregon byGlennGullickson A Litchfield Park artist is celebrating after her painting was selected to be exhibited at an art show in Oregon. Sandra Camp’s painting, titled “Celebration,” will be part of an exhibit staged by the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies. The 42nd annual exhibit will run from April 7 to June 19 at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art in Eugene, Ore. The painting done in acrylic conveys a celebratory mood, which Camp said she knew succeeded when her son told her the painting made him think of Mardi Gras.
Camp’s painting is one of five from Arizona that will be part of the exhibit and one of 100 works selected for the show from 869 entries. Camp, 78, said she started painting when she was a student and took an art class when she couldn’t get into choir. She went on to earn a bachelor’s of fine arts degree at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, then taught art for 22 years in junior high and high school. She moved to Litchfield Park 20 years ago. Plants, flowers and landscapes are inspirations for Camp’s paintings, which are abstract or representational, she said. “It’s sort of taking a photograph and abstracting it so you get the feel of the picture without knowing what the picture actually is,” she said. Camp paints three or four days in a row, then will step away from the work for a week, with some paintings taking years to complete, she said.

“If it doesn’t feel right, I put it away and let it mature,” she said. “Others you slap the paint around and it goes into the places it needs to go.” Her works are also on display at the Arizona Supreme Court building in Phoenix. Other paintings have been sold to friends and collectors in California, Texas, Ohio and Massachusetts, she said. As a member of the Arizona Watercolor Association, Camp said she takes advantage of visiting artists the group brings in to conduct workshops. She also works with a critique group of friends who are artists. It’s the fifth time one of her works has been shown as part of a Western Federation of Watercolor Societies exhibit, Camp said. The group has more than 6,000 members in 11 states, and was founded in 1974 to encourage and recognize artistic excellence through competitions and promote watercolor as an artistic medium.

Flying in luxury Antique aircraft lands in Goodyear byKourtneyBalsan Flying in a plane didn’t always mean arriving at the airport two hours before departure, wearing your finest sweat pants and circulation socks, and being patted down by a Transportation Security Administration agent. Flying used to be a vacation itself with passengers dressing to the nines. The 1928 Ford Tri-Motor 5-AT-B, Serial No. 8, made a stop at the Phoenix Goodyear Airport, 1658 S. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, March 23-26 to give people the opportunity to experience original luxury aviation on the first coast-tocoast passenger airline in America, and the first mass-produced airliner in the world. “It was a precursor of every plane that’s out here,” said Bill Thacker, volunteer pilot of the Ford Tri-Motor. “It was the very first airplane that was designed and built specifically to hold passengers.” Named “City of Wichita” when it began westbound transcontinental commercial air service, the Ford Tri-Motor plane seats 10 passengers, a pilot and a co-pilot, Thacker said, adding every seat is a window seat. “It is an iconic aircraft. People may not realize it by name, but as soon they see it, they’ll know which plane it is,” said Carlos Hernandez, president of Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 538 in Phoenix. The Ford Tri-Motor was nicknamed the “Tin Goose” as it was one of the first allmetal airplanes with a wing span of 77 feet, 6 inches and the cruising speed of 122 mph. “It flies great. It’s very heavy on the controls, but it flies smooth,” Thacker said. “It’s very, very strong and very, very sturdy. That just makes it perfect for this.” In the 1930s, the plane visited Arizona for the first time providing sightseeing tours of the Grand Canyon. After a long list of other memorable flights and eventually being put into storage, Nevada’s William F. Harrah of Harrah’s Hotel and Casinos purchased the aircraft in 1964 and renovated it over seven years. After Harrah’s death in 1978, the plane hopped around to several owners and museums, being renovated along the way, eventually ending at the Liberty Aviation Museum in Port Clinton, Ohio, in 2014

PASSENGERS BOARD a 1928 Ford Tri-Motor airplane named the “Tin Goose” March 23 at Phoenix Goodyear Airport. where it calls home to this day. “It’s got updated engines on it, which actually have more horse power. It has different brakes on it, which actually work. That’s the major changes,” Thacker said. The museum leased the plane to the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) to provide tours around the country. “It’s 89 years old and it’s flying constantly. The EAA and the museum that actually owns it, take immaculate care of it. They really do love the plane,” Hernandez said. “Because there’s so few of them, it’s rare to see them around, and to get public access, or access at all, is extremely rare, and this is one of the reasons why they do it. They want to give this [experience] to the public. That is what the EAA is about; education, aviation, recreation.” Not only is the Ford Tri-Motor touring the country to educate the public and attract aviation enthusiasts, but to also inspire youths to consider piloting, Hernandez said. “We want to give this opportunity to our youth especially because our pilot population is decreasing because of age. A lot of pilots are of age where they’re getting out of the game. We see the decline over the last several years, so we want to be able to reach out to youth and try to ignite that interest, that spark,” Hernandez said. Goodyear was one of many stops the Ford Tri-Motor made, Thacker said, adding that the plane rides are always popular. “The plane spends a year, basically the whole time, traveling around the country doing events like this, hop and rides. There

are several of us pilots, 16, 18 of us pilots who fly this plane and another one, both for the EAA,” Thacker said. “We take 15,000 people a year, not me personally, but the airplane does.” Darrell Ahrens, 80, of Litchfield Park took a ride on the Ford Tri-Motor with his friend Daniel Jaskoski, 21, for their birthdays, Ahrens said. “He’s a pilot and I’m a retired Air Force fighter pilot, so we’re both very interested in taking the ride. It’s a famous airplane and I’ve never flown in it and neither had he, so it was a first for both of us,” Ahrens said. The flight was quite the experience, Ahrens said. “It felt good. It was pretty noisy. I mean, it was nothing like present day airliners. It’s a little more bumpy. It was different and it was fun. I enjoyed it,” Ahrens said. Having been in the EAA for almost 13 years, Hernandez was finally able to ride in the Ford Tri-Motor for the first time, crossing the experience off his bucket list. “[It was] exhilarating. It’s on my bucket list and now that I have it checked off it’s been wonderful,” Hernandez said. “These planes have three nine-cylinder engines, so they’re going to make noise and that’s the draw of these aircrafts. Just the power and raw exhilaration of being in them.” As much of an honor it is to ride in the plane, it is just as much of an honor to fly it, Thacker said. “As a pilot, why wouldn’t you want to [fly the Ford Tri-Motor]?” Thacker said. After leaving Goodyear, the Ford TriMotor flew to Albuquerque, N.M.

Literacy group seeks tutors Southwest Valley Literacy Association observes 40 years of helping to change lives byGlennGullickson Helping someone learn the English language is an opportunity to influence a life, according to the leader of a literacy group that serves the West Valley. “In today’s world, it’s becoming critical to speak English,” said Jan Cosgrove of Goodyear, president of the Southwest Valley Literacy Association, which serves Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson. The group, which is observing its 40th anniversary, is seeking additional volunteers to add to its team of 95 tutors who teach English to more than 200 students, she said. “It’s not like a classroom, it’s one on one or two on one,” Cosgrove said about lessons conducted by the group, which she called a “language skills organization” dedicated to helping students listen, speak, read and write. For the tutors, it’s a chance to make an impact on a student’s life. “The satisfaction it brings is amazing,” Cosgrove said. “It’s like you’re changing their life. It’s like you’ve opened a door for them.” For the students, learning English means gaining a practical skill, she said. “We do whatever they need,” she said. Lacking command of the English language can limit a person’s opportunities. Cosgrove said. Many students want the lessons to solve a problem, such as helping a child in school or gaining a job or a promotion, she said. “These people are so dedicated,” she said. “They are so motivated.” A 2011-12 study found a majority of students reported gaining consumer skills, improving employment skills and increased involvement in their children’s educational activities. They also reported more involvement in community affairs and success in obtaining driver’s licenses and finding jobs. Anna Lopez, 35, of west Phoenix said she started the lessons about a year and a half ago with the goal of helping her three sons, ages 11, 8 and 5. “It’s something that I needed,” said Lopez, who came to the U.S. from Mexico 15 years ago. “My kids some-
times laughed at me.” She said her progress has been slow, but she reads books to her children and her husband recently encouraged her to speak English at home. Lopez is one of three students tutored by Pam Marshall, who started volunteering a year and a half ago when she sought a project after she retired and moved to Goodyear. “It’s been a fabulous experience,” Marshall said. “You get so much more out of it than you put into it.” She said she uses pictures to convey concepts and challenges students to initiate conversations in English. “The more exposed they are to English, the easier it’s going to be,” she said. Additional tutors are needed because the number of students seeking help keeps growing. Cosgrove said in the nine years that she’s been involved with the group, the number of students has doubled. A majority of students are Hispanic, but she has noticed an increasing number of Koreans, who are often spouses of Koreans assigned to Luke Air Force Base. Students range in age into the 70s, but most are 30 to 45 years old and a majority are women, she said. Most tutors are also women, but Cosgrove said there’s a need for male tutors who can serve as role models for male students. Cosgrove said some people hesitate to volunteer as tutors because they don’t know Spanish or lack teaching experience — factors she said aren’t disqualifying. To become certified to teach, tutors get 12 hours of training over two weekends, she said. “It’s about learning how to deal with non-English speaking people and how to teach successfully,” she said. The teaching method doesn’t involve a school curriculum of English grammar, but is more like how a parent teaches a child, she said. Lessons include role-playing, with the goal of building confidence to do such things as understand supermarket labels and restaurant menus, Cosgrove said. “You need to know what you need to know to survive,” she said. “We need to help them from where they are to where they need to be.”

The philosophy is reflected in the title of the program’s textbook, Reading for Life. Students are assigned to one of four learning levels, from those who lack command of the language to those who might be preparing to attend higher education, Cosgrove said. Some students stay in the program for two or three years, she said. Tutors and students determine a schedule for 90-minute lessons as frequently as two or three times a week that are held in libraries, churches and other public spaces, Cosgrove said. Students pay $50 a year for the lessons and the group also obtains funds from community grants in the cities it serves, she said. Most tutors are retired people, but there are some college students, Cosgrove said. The ideal tutor is educated and knowledgeable, perhaps a professional person who is interested and caring about others, she said. “They kind of become friends and counselors,” she said. Tutors need to have time to prepare lessons and they are asked for a one-year commitment, but many volunteer for years, Cosgrove said. “After the first year, they want to do more,” she said. “Once they start, it becomes a priority.” Tutor certification sessions will be conducted Saturday, April 15, June 3 and June 10.
