D-backs field among many new LP projects

By Emily Dean

Litchfield Park will soon welcome the Arizona Diamondbacks’ 42nd Little League field, as announced by Mayor Thomas Schoaf during his State of the City address January 19 at The Church at Litchfield Park.

“It is a tremendous honor to have this stadium. We are all looking forward to it.” Schoaf said as the crowd cheered in excitement.

Named after Jackie Robinson, the ballfield was one of many endeavors coming to the city. He listed them at the meeting that served as an opportunity for residents to learn about the Litchfield Park’s operations and projects.

The Little League field is a result of the “Diamonds Back Field Building Program” that launched in 2000. The program is responsible for building or refurbishing many baseball and softball fields across the state. The Jackie Robinson field is set to break ground within the next several weeks and will be located at the entrance to The Village.

Schoaf said while many cities wanted the baseball diamond, the foundation approached Litchfield Park officials because of their ongoing support of Little League.

“It has always been a tradition throughout this city,” Schoaf said.

“The families in this city support Little League baseball, and so because of that we are going to get the Jackie Robinson baseball diamond.”

In mid-April the city will hold a dedication ceremony at the diamond with Robinson’s family members.

Equally as compelling, Litchfield Park is spearheading a youth council.

The Litchfield Park Youth Council (LPYC) was set in motion by student Brooke Zanon, as previously reported by the West Valley View.

According to Schoaf, Zanon asked city officials for help in creating a place for high school students in the area to learn about local gov-

And biparti-

sanship doesn’t simply mean working with Democrats on Democratic ideas. I’m here as governor of all the people to work with everyone on good ideas,” Ducey said.

He threaded that idea through much of his speech that would follow, including while discussing his top issue: Securing water.

His solution? Politicians in either aisle must come to a compromise and ratify the “urgent” Drought Contingency Plan.

“Here’s the bottom line: We’re in a 19-year drought. It’s going to get worse before it gets better,” he said. “Arizona and our neighboring states draw more water from the Colorado River than Mother Nature puts back. It’s time to protect Lake Mead and Arizona.”

If the council is not filled, it will then open up to any high school student who lives within the Litchfield Park ZIP code. Schoaf said he is looking forward to working with the youth council.

“We are quite frankly looking forward to their input and learning from them and seeing what they have to say. It’s something new for us,” Schoaf added.

He also touched on the collaboration between the city and master plan developer Destination LP. The collaboration, which began in September 2017, seeks to develop a plan for the city’s downtown.

Schoaf expressed the desire to go back to Litchfield Park’s “roots” with the new development.

“The idea is to use a park as our anchor,” he said. “To use the park to drive all of our festivals, to have a place where we can encourage people from the outside to come in and enjoy Litchfield Park.”

Schoaf said the influx of guests will bolster local businesses and help the city’s economy.

Also forthcoming is the construction of Champion Charter School at the Mon-

ument Point Business Park. Schoaf added the vacant lot on the corner of Dysart and Camelback roads will soon hold Dignity Health, Taco Bell, a carwash and a mini-storage facility.

As far as residential development, Schoaf said “pretty much all of the property that is designated as residential is built on or being built on.” The exception is the land around the La Loma Homestead, which was built by the founder of Litchfield Park, Paul Litchfield, and was gifted to the city by the previous owners. The city has struggled to find a way to restore the property in a way that would benefit the community.

However, roughly a year ago the family of the previous owners offered to put $1 million toward restoration if the city would match the grant. The historical society matched the $1 million so it could use the space as its center. It also plans to build a museum next to the homestead to display its artifacts. The project will continue to move forward throughout the year.

The most controversial topic touched on at the meeting was JDM Partners’ hopes for a general plan amendment for a parcel of land at the northwest corner of Wigwam Boulevard and Litchfield Rock. Schoaf said the two entities compromised that JDM could only build residential infrastructure simultaneously

or after building at least 75,000 square feet of commercial infrastructure. This is essential to Litchfield Park because of the crucial role that sales tax plays in its economy. In fact, according to Schoaf, city sales, use and bed taxes make up 67 percent of the city’s revenue in a fiscal year.

Vice Mayor Paul Faith phrased it simply when he said “We live and die based on sales tax” while addressing the importance of commercial growth. The general plan amendment proposes building 313 apartments on the parcel with about 10,000 square feet of commercial infrastructure.

The amendment will be heard soon by the Planning and Zoning Committee.

Unfortunately, residents still fear the project. When the floor opened for residents to address the council, most used the opportunity to express their concern for the potential development.

Debbi Lawrence was excited about forthcoming projects, but hopes the city will practice “responsible development.” She is concerned about potential traffic issues, citing the need for turning lanes from Litchfield Road onto Camelback Road. Lawrence stated the immense traffic is not a problem now, but will be with 300 new apartments and their residents.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JANUARY 23, 2019

Ducey...continued from page 1 Another big point early on for Ducey was eliminating outdated, unnecessary laws – specifically legislative immunity, he said.

“We are a nation of laws, not men.

No one – not me, nor any state legislator – is above the law,” he said. “Now, Congress likes to exempt themselves from the law – but isn’t that why Americans hold them in such contempt? Our elected leaders should live under the same laws as every man and woman in this state. Let’s send a referral to the ballot and let the people speak on special privileges for elected officials.”

The majority of Ducey’s speech, however, was dedicated to schools, with him covering topics like gun violence, teachers’ pay, K-12 reform, the teacher shortage, and career and technical education (CTE).

Acknowledging the 2018 Parkland shooting, Ducey called for increased law enforcement presence on campuses, more school counselors and improved background checks through the Safe Arizona Schools Plan. Though he acknowledged a desire to keep firearms out of the hands of potentially at-risk individuals, he highlighted the impor-

tance of Arizonans’ Second Amendment rights, too.

“This is simply too important an issue to let partisan politics and special interests get in the way,” he said. “We’ve got a responsibility to do something for our kids – and we’ve got to do it this session.”

On teachers’ raises, Ducey spoke favorably of the “20x20” plan to raise teachers’ wages 20 percent by 2020, which was proposed and passed last year. He acknowledged some West Valley districts – Avondale Elementary, Agua Fria Union High and Tolleson Elementary – for taking it a step further by providing additional salary increases.

On reforming K-12 education, which he said also includes increasing resources and boosting positive results, he noted making other improvements such as more transparency, accountability, and financial review and oversight of taxpayer dollars.

In combating the teacher shortage, Ducey called for an expansion of support and dollars for the Arizona Teachers Academy, which he said has already received 221 students. It provides scholarships to university graduates who teach in-state.

On CTE, Ducey likened the field to the “shop” classes of the 21st century and –

citing programs such as diesel mechanics at West-MEC and advanced manufacturing at Maricopa Community Colleges, among others – said his budget would “build, expand and align with the jobs of tomorrow.” Keeping in this realm, he gave a quick shout-out to West-MEC Superintendent Greg Donovan.

“Today, students in these programs are training to becoming Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord, left, attended Gov. Doug Ducey’s nurses, pilots, phar- West Valley speech.

Ducey...continued from page 3 ment opportunities to past offenders.

Ducey called to secure this program with a goal of protecting public safety and reducing prison populations.

On the economy, he noted the attraction of UPS, Amazon, Andersen, Chewy Inc. and Ball Corporation to the region, as well as 300,000 jobs and 300 companies statewide in the past three years.

Other brief topics on Ducey’s agenda were an updated North American trade deal (USMCA), which he said will increase trade and jobs; unemployment, which he said is at a longtime low; progress and goals in consolidating the “bloated” state government; the Border Strike Force; reduced wait times at the MVD; the Department of Child Safety; keeping the Grand Canyon open during the government shutdown; and a reversal of the state’s $1 billion deficit to a $1 billion surplus over the past four years. In anticipation of his then-unreleased balanced budget, he suggested increasing the state’s Rainy Day Fund to $1 billion.

“If ever there were a way to protect public education, to protect the pay raises our teachers have earned and deserve, to prevent budget gimmicks, band-aids and massive cuts down the line, to avoid tax increases and budget standoffs and government shutdowns – it’s through this thoughtful, prudent and fiscally conservative approach,” he said.

On a final note, Ducey looked back on those who passed last year, including Rep. Ed Pastor, who represented Arizona’s 2nd, 4th and 7th congressional districts; Sgt. Maximo Flores of Litchfield Park, who was killed in a plane

collision off the coast of Japan; Trooper Tyler Edenhofer, who was killed on I-10 near Avondale Boulevard while in the line of duty; and Sen. John McCain, who succumbed to brain cancer.

Ducey was introduced by Swire Coca-Cola Northern Arizona Division President Roger White. WESTMARC officials Bobbi Magdaleno and Sintra Hoffman, as well as Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers, also delivered their own brief remarks.

“The West Valley is home to some of the fastest-growing cities in the country as a direct result of our conscious effort to attract businesses, focus on being financially responsible, and provide residents with a great quality of life,” Weiers said.

Hoffman, WESTMARC’s president and CEO, noted a recent grant given to WESTMARC by the Tohono O’odham Nation, which will help with a rebranding strategy that will highlight the region’s growth and assets. As a start, Hoffman cited the new Topgolf and incoming Desert Diamond West Valley Casino in Glendale, the recently announced Portillo’s in Avondale (See page 14.), and WESTMARC’s 2018 Restaurant Demo Day, the latter of which allowed various West Valley cities to pitch their locales to potentially interested restaurateurs, brokers, investors and land owners.

Hoffman dedicated much of her time on stage to acknowledging the West Valley’s growth and success, and the impact the region has on the rest of the Valley.

“Maricopa County is the fourth largest county in the nation, and over the next 25 years, 49.5 percent of the growth in this county will occur right here in the West Valley,” Hoffman said. “Working with you all for the past several years, I know that we are going to take on that growth – we’re ready to manage that, we’re ready to take that challenge.”

West Point High cuts through the fog to sign beam

By Connor Dziawura

West Point High School Principal Brandi Haskins is looking forward to the culture and traditions the Dragons will begin on its new campus.

“A big part of high schools and building that culture is having our students connect with their mascot as (something) they all share,” Haskins told the West Valley View at a January 16 beam-signing ceremony in Avondale.

Before the traditions start, district officials, local dignitaries and others gathered at the school’s construction site on a foggy Wednesday morning to celebrate the build’s next step.

They took part in a much older tradition: signing a metal sheet that was later tacked to a beam, commemorating the community and its support of the Tolleson Union High School District.

The ceremony also introduced the high school’s principal. Haskins, whose role was previously announced online, comes off seven years as principal of La Joya Community High School, and seven years before that as Westview

her speech. “She’s an expert. She is a guru in the principalship, in leadership, and always students first, staff first, the district first. She’s all about Tolleson Union High School District and our students’ academic achievement. She will do everything in her power to ensure success.”

Haskins, who called her new position an honor, has big goals for students and staff – notably being a point of pride for the district.

“I’m not going to lie, we want this school to be the showplace of Arizona,” she told the West Valley View. “We want this to be a place that very quickly makes a name for itself academically, in terms of building a positive community and culture, athletically, activities, giving our students every possible opportunity to grow and shine, and whatever they’re excited about.

“I think education has changed a little bit. Our students now have so many choices when they leave high school.

We want them to be prepared for all of them and to go out and then to lead in our community and to lead across the globe.”

Freddie Villalon, the district board’s vice president, called it “a school made of champions, a school built for champions, champion staff, champion children and champion parents and champion community.”

He continued, enthusiastically, “We’re going to do great things here.

We’re destined for greatness. We are a school of the future. We are a school that’s going to do amazing things for our family.”

The district’s seventh high school, it commenced construction at the northwest corner of Avondale and Encanto boulevards last summer. Architected by ADM Group and contracted by Chasse Building Team, the school is estimated at 310,000 square feet on 69 acres.

Previous cost estimates from ADM Group Principal Ben Barcon were $48 million from the Arizona School Facilities Board, $7 million from adjacent ways and $53 million from a voter-approved bond, for a total guaranteed maximum price of more than $108 million.

A two-phase project, West Point is expected to serve freshman and sophomore students when it opens in July.

A second phase will build out the rest of the campus, allowing juniors and seniors for the 2020-21 school year.

Gutierrez previously specified phase one would include instructional space and athletic and common areas

Vendors wanted for Dog Days of Buckeye

By West Valley View staff

Showcase your pet or dog-related business, service or rescue group to Buckeye residents at the sixth annual Dog Days of Buckeye from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 2, at Sundance Park, 22865 W. Lower Buckeye Road.

Vending booth space is $40 for a 10foot by 10-foot merchant booth; free for nonprofits; or $50 plus 10 percent of gross sales for food vendors.

Activities include pet adoptions, small

West Point...continued from page 6 for freshmen and sophomores, while phase two will add additional space for juniors and seniors, including varsity fields.

A banner placed front and center on the unfinished school reads: Teamwork for Tolleson Students. That was a theme of Chasse Building Team President Barry Chasse’s speech.

“What’s happened is the leadership at Tolleson (Union High) School District has really inspired us and I think ADM to do something extraordinary here on this campus, with the size of the project, the schedule of the project, all of this to happen for these kids that are coming here,” Chasse said.

“The leadership inspiration came, and initially we had big glassy eyes and we’re like, ‘You want to do what, and you want it by when?’ But that motivation and inspiration has impacted ourselves, ADM Group and the entire team to really try and do something extraordinary.”

Previous estimates from the district are 1,200 students in the first year, with a design that can accommodate 3,000.

The school’s colors are red and black.

Perhaps the most exciting element for Gutierrez, however, is a partnership with Luke Air Force Base, which incorporates an academy into the school. It includes a wing pattern and an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM).

“We have high standards throughout Tolleson Union High School District,” Gutierrez told the West Valley View.

“Our focus is academic achievement and the highest standards we can have, and that’s Luke Air Force Base. That’s what they reflect, and that’s what we

Standards, curriculum and leadership are important, Gutierrez said, and the school-within-a-school model is inspired by University High School’s curriculum, she said. It will be “rigorous” and “challenging.”

“It’s something that I believe our students and community long for,” she said. “When I said it, they immediately embraced it – immediately – and we’ve not taken one step back. Every step has been forward ever since.”

The school will also have an innovation center with a focus on career and technical education (CTE).

In a ceremonial groundbreaking on January 11, Andersen Corp. and the city of Goodyear celebrated the construction of Andersen’s 500,000-squarefoot manufacturing facility at Cotton Lane and MC 85.

Andersen manufactures and distributes windows and doors throughout the country, and the Goodyear facility will house the manufacturing of the company’s fast-growing 100 Series product line, which utilizes the company’s Fibrex material.

CEO Jay Lund said the company had been looking to build at different locations throughout the west. Goodyear was a good fit for several reasons: Key suppliers are located in the Phoenix area, and the Fibrex products are in high demand in the western United States; Goodyear is easily accessible via the 303; and Goodyear has a skilled workforce.

“We couldn’t be more excited to be a member of the Goodyear corporate community,” Lund said. “We are here to create good paying jobs. We want to thank the countless city staff who have helped us along the way.”

plained the Goodyear facility’s role.

“We wanted to integrate our Fibrex technology in one location,” he said.

“Fibrex is a wood-fiber composite. Our strongest demand is in the western U.S. It is two times stronger than vinyl, and it’s better for heat.”

The new facility will house the entire Fibrex process, from compounding, to extrusion, to assembly, and finally distribution.

For the first phase of the project, Andersen anticipates investing $105 million, with a potential of $200 million through future expansion. The site encompasses 68 acres of land.

During the ceremony, Andersen also donated $25,000 to Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona to help bring more affordable housing to those who need it. Andersen Communications Director Eliza Chlebeck said her company works with many nonprofits to improve the communities where they are located.

Headquartered in Minnesota, Andersen Corp. was founded in 1903 and employs more than 8,000 people with manufacturing sites in North America and Europe.

Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said the municipality’s focus is on customer service to make the process of companies locating to the city as smooth as possible, and Andersen was no exception.

“I haven’t stopped smiling since I heard (Andersen) was coming here.

We believe you couldn’t have selected a better city,” Lord said.

The facility is anticipated to be operational by 2020, and Andersen expects to create 415 jobs over the next five years, more than half of those above median wage. Some jobs will include engineering, maintenance and supervisors, with most jobs in production.

Buckeye residents are invited to attend one of two interactive workshops to provide input on the city’s Transportation Master Plan and Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan.

They are 6 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, January 23, at the Sage Recreation Center’s Celebration Hall, 26501 Desert Vista Boulevard; and 6 to 8 p.m.

Thursday, January 24, at the Coyote Library’s Program Room, 21699 W. Yuma Road.

The two meetings will cover the same information.

Topics planned for discussion at the meetings include: Off-street networks for pedestrians and bicyclists that include trails and multiuse parks.

On-street networks located on various types of streets and roadways.

Melissa Zuidema, Kimberly Moran and Alayne Weathersby began their terms this month with the Litchfield Elementary School District.

Zuidema won an open two-year governing board seat. Moran and Weathersby went uncontested for fouryear seats.

The elected officials who comprise a school district governing board make important decisions that directly impact its students, staff and community. As advocates for the students, the governing board sets the district’s direction, establishes the structure to ensure all students are served, provides support and ensures accountability.

Zuidema said she believes strongly in parent and community support for our local schools. For the last 12 years, she has been actively involved in education, having been on multiple LESD PTA boards. Zuidema serves on the Arizona PTA board of managers as the Southwest Valley PTA Council president. She said she feels the district’s success comes from its worldclass teachers and staff. She plans to work with all stakeholders to make open-minded decisions that focus on student growth and achievement while

She serves as treasurer for The Church at Litchfield Park and is an active member of Gals of the West, Litchfield Elementary School PTSA, Western Sky Middle School PTA, and Millennium High School band boosters.

Weathersby was the Litchfield Elementary School art teacher for 10 years and recently began working at Millennium High School, where her daughter, a Litchfield alumna, is a student.

Goodyear man involved in fatal crash has history of DUI

By Connor Dziawura

A Goodyear man who was allegedly drunk and high when he was in a fatal crash in December has a history of DUIs, according to court documents obtained by the West Valley View.

Gabino Matancillas, 19, was reportedly involved in a collision at Avondale Boulevard and Lower Buckeye Road in Avondale around 4:21 a.m.

December 29.

According to the court documents, the vehicle he was driving rear-ended a stopped semitruck’s trailer while turning left from Avondale Boulevard to Lower Buckeye Road. It was noted that there were no signs of Matancillas braking.

Three feet of Matancillas’ vehicle reportedly went under the semitruck’s trailer, which was loaded, and neither he nor his passengers were wearing seatbelts.

One of the suspect’s passengers, Jaqueline Pacheco, 18, died at the scene. Another passenger, age 20, had a fractured femur and pelvis and broken nose, and a third, age 17, suffered life-threatening liver and spleen lac-

erations, according to court records.

Matancillas, who was pulled from the driver’s seat window, had a fractured left tibia. All individuals’ injuries were described as “serious,” and they were transported to Abrazo West Campus.

The driver of the semitruck was not injured.

Avondale officers assisted MCSO deputies with traffic control, and the MCSO Vehicular Crimes Unit launched an investigation, deputies said.

According to court records, Matancillas’ vehicle smelled of alcohol and marijuana. Multiple 12 packs of beer as well as Dos Equis, Tecate and Smirnoff Ice were found inside.

Deputy Ryan Castro, an MCSO drug recognition expert, visited Matancillas in the hospital and observed blood-shot, watery eyes, constricted pupils, rebound dilation, a green film on his tongue, raised taste buds, and breath that smelled of ethanol, according to court documents. Castro also detected six clues of horizontal gaze nystagmus, which is when an individual’s eyes jerk as they look to the side. He also had a

lack of convergence, which is the inability to cross ones’ eyes to focus on an object as it moves closer.

Matancillas’ pulse was at one point measured at 100 bpm, which Castro noted in the document to not be consistent with the hospital’s prescribed dose of fentanyl.

Matancillas’ breath alcohol content was 0.027 percent, and his blood-alcohol concentration was 0.051 percent.

Despite falling under the legal limit of 0.08 percent, Arizona is a no-tolerance state, meaning individuals can be arrested for less. Being that Matancillas is younger than 21, however, he could not legally consume alcohol.

Matancillas reportedly admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana before driving, and said his passengers had smoked marijuana while he was driving.

He was arrested and booked on one count of manslaughter, two counts of aggravated assault, one count of endangerment and one count of aggravated DUI on Monday, December 31. His bond was set at $100,000. His court appearances were set for January 7 and

January 10.

As court records show, this isn’t Matancillas’ first brush with the law.

On November 29, he was convicted in Avondale City Court for a previous DUI. It was also noted that he had an additional prior DUI, making the December incident his third.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JANUARY 23, 2019

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

JUDGE’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Electoral College plan is concerning

Editor: I love my country. I admit that I am frustrated at times with elected officials even of my own party, but I still recognize my country as the greatest nation on Earth.

I am pained by political rhetoric that ofttimes suggests ideas that would undermine the very fabric that makes us who and what we are. On that note, I read today this new Congress is anxious to propose legislation to dissolve the Electoral College, among other equally undesirable bills. Think of it: dissolving the Electoral College. I don’t know if it will happen, but this Congress wants it to happen. Friends, does this issue concern you? Do we really know what calamity this would create? We are a representative democratic republic “...if you can keep it,” precisely because the Founding Fathers knew the destructive power of autocratic, monocratic majority rule. Are we really willing to simply hand over the freedoms we enjoy to elected officials who care nothing for you and I, and for which the greatest nation sacrificed their hope, blood and treasure?

Differences of opinion are healthy and make our nation great, but this is not a mere difference of opinion. Rather, it is wanton, calculated treachery that in the end will not serve the best interests of you and I as citizens of our nation. It is time like never before for us as citizens and constituents to raise our voices and remind our elected officials of their oaths to support our constitutional rights by defending the Constitution itself. Our elected officials must stop treating their honorable positions as a game devised to enrich themselves at our expense. Please join me in this effort before time runs out and we find ourselves staring at each other wondering how we arrived in such abysmal circumstances.

Jason Russell Goodyear

Are you really OK with this?

Editor: Well let’s see, Trump wants real estate development opportunity in Moscow and needs money to keep his insolvent company afloat.

Trump can no longer borrow from

American banks due to his innumerable defaults and six bankruptcies. He borrows from Deutsche Bank – the only bank that will still lend him money – which then sells his debt to Russian oligarchs connected to Putin, who want U.S. sanctions lifted and a more autocratic U.S. government so they can have a much greater influence on U.S. policy to enhance and protect their investments in the United States. They offer assistance in cyber interference to get Trump elected but want these things back from Trump as a quid pro quo.

What could possibly go wrong now?

I ask you: Are you really OK with a president subjugated and indentured to Russia? That appears to be the cold hard truth. Are you really sanguine with an adversary “showering” our president with gold to do their dirty work! Are you really going to defend him on this? Are you really OK that we have a president who should be indicted and tried for treason, and who keeps the government shut down, telling government workers to “make do” while they still work for no pay? And he is doing this to spite Americans who did not support his corrupt candidacy! If you still support him, you really need to examine your soul.

David Compton Litchfield Park

No thanks to the ACA Editor: This is in response to John Lindstrom’s letter (January 9 issue of the West Valley View). He stated, “So please stop beating the same drum over and over and start recognizing all the good that comes from the Affordable Care Act, not the least being the increased number of Americans who are insured.”

In my case it is hard to see the good you mention. I went from an 80/20 medical plan for myself and three children costing a couple hundred dollars per month to getting dropped by my insurance carrier twice because the ACA made my plan no longer valid, forcing me to buy higher-costing medical insurance.

Today, for myself, my spouse and one child on a “hospital” plan – meaning $5,500 deductibles per person, $11,000 total family out of pocket per year before insurance starts to pay – we’re paying $1,200 per month. That is $14,400 per year for basically catastrophic coverage.

We are a healthy group, too! So, it feels

like I’m wasting $14,000 per year, but it should have been maybe $2,500 a year when “I could keep my medical plan and keep my doctor.” No thanks to the ACA! Derek Skains Litchfield Park

Progressive beliefs

Editor: For years I have been writing about the cultural war in America and exposing the secular progressives, whose ideology is radically opposed to our constitutional principles. The basic beliefs of progressives are: To disguise themselves as Democrats, so as to gain public acceptance.

No judgment is allowed in personal private behavior. Humankind is the master of the universe and personal humanity gratification is paramount.

No display of religious values or acknowledgement of God in the public arena.

A foreign policy approach that promotes a one-world government at the expense of American sovereignty.

Private property can be taken from the rich and given to the poor.

A sharing of the wealth by targeting the affluent. The mayor of New York City, Bill de Blasio, is threatening to seize 40 buildings and confiscate them.

This is pure Communism.

To protect the environment, fossil fuel production will cease to exist in the United States.

Political correctness shall be strongly promoted to control the speech and thus thinking and thus behavior of humankind, so that nobody will be bullied or offended.

You have the right to not be offended by anyone with an opposing point of view, and to physically accost someone if necessary.

Diversity and quotas must be imposed by government on the people.

Lax discipline on school children to promote their so-called liberties.

All nations shall be welcoming places without borders, and the free movement of any human being shall not be impeded.

No limitation whatsoever shall be placed upon the power of government, and it will be unlawful to do so, in its goal of providing prosperity to all.

An old Chinese proverb was observed long ago: “To conquer a nation, destroy its values.” Destroying America’s values is exactly what progressives have been doing for many years.

At the conclusion of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, Ben Franklin was asked, “Well, doctor what have we got?

A republic or a monarchy?” Franklin answered, “A republic, if you can keep it.”

Today’s challenge to keep it comes from the radical far-out left-wing progressives. With God’s help we will keep it. Yes, we will!

Life in 2019 is good – and yet, not so much

By David Leibowitz

Don’t get me wrong about life nearly two decades into the 21st century: It certainly has its share of modern conveniences.

It’s terrific that I’ll never again have to waste an hour trying to refold a paper map into its original condition. The Yellow Pages no longer takes up valuable kitchen cabinet space. And go to the grocery store? Why? A few computer clicks and everything I need shows up at the front door two hours later.

If you’re an inherently lazy person – someone who would prefer everything be done with the least amount of hassle possible – life in 2019 is for you.

Except here’s the dirty truth: I’m really starting to miss the way things were back in the day. I know technology and mankind allegedly continues to make progress, but I’m beginning to think that for every sign of evolution there’s a corresponding sign of de-evolution.

What do I miss?

Calls instead of text messages. Remember when friends and loved ones used to pick up the phone to say aloud

stuff like, “Hey man, happy birthday,” all of it. As life keeps gaining speed or “Not sure if you heard, but we’re and we compress more of everything getting divorced?” Now– noise and news, commuadays?

Business Briefcase

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, readers! Continuing in line with last week, it appears the business news is ramping up. In this week’s edition of the West Valley View there are no events; just projects – some with more details than others. And there’s still plenty in store.

From therapy clinics to automotive shops, senior care centers, an update on the long-awaited Home2 Suites coming to Buckeye, and a new career center in Avondale, there’s a diverse range of projects coming to the Southwest Valley. So, with much to explore, let’s dive in. Here’s the scoop!

First, in what has been a long-time coming, Chicago favorite Portillo’s, which is known for its hot dogs and Italian beef sandwiches, is coming to Avondale. Other Arizona locations are in Tempe and Scottsdale, as well as an outpost at Chase Field. Look for a feature story soon.

At 9,000 square feet, the new 1950s to 1960s-diner themed location will seat more than 200 customers and feature an outdoor patio and double-lane drive-thru. The Avondale Portillo’s will be at Park 10, off McDowell Road and between 99th and 107th avenues.

An opening date has not been set. Keep track at portillos.com/avondale.

Moving along, Desert Hand & Physical Therapy opened a clinic in Goodyear January 14. Brittany Battaglia, the clinic’s manager, earned a bachelor’s in allied health sciences and psychology in 2012, a master’s in occupational therapy in 2013, and passed the certified hand therapist examination in 2017. Battaglia specializes in trauma, nerve injuries, complex wounds, burns, pediatric injuries and

tendon repairs of the upper extremity through orthotic management and therapeutic treatment. The company, which was founded in 1997, has 12 clinics in the Metro Phoenix area. The Goodyear clinic is located at 790 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite C. “We are very excited about this opportunity to grow into the Southwest Valley, and Goodyear in particular,” said the company’s president, Chris Reynolds, in a press release.

“Desert Hand & Physical Therapy has a history and tradition of providing excellent customer service and care for our hand to shoulder patients. We hope that the addition of this new clinic will provide a convenient option to those seeking rehabilitation for their injured hands to shoulders.”

Also on Estrella Parkway, dirt is moving between Panda Express and Sherwin-Williams Paint Store, south of the southwest corner of Estrella Parkway and Roosevelt Street, also south of I-10. According to information provided by the city’s economic development department, that lot will belong to Brakes Plus.

At 5,148 square feet on an approximately 1.54-acre parcel, this new Estrella location is estimated to create 15 jobs. An automotive retail sales and service building, its architecture will reportedly match its retail center theme. Company representatives have not yet responded to the West Valley View’s request for comment. The future location’s address is 760 N. Estrella Parkway.

Last fall, Home Instead Senior Care opened an office in Goodyear. According to its website, it serves Arlington, Avondale, Buckeye, Gila Bend, Glen-

dale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Maricopa, Palo Verde, Peoria, Southwest Phoenix, Tolleson, Tonopah, Waddell and Youngtown. It offers a variety of senior care services, from companionship to personal care, meals and transportation. There are nine Valley locations, including this one run by franchisees Anthony and Blair Sapeta.

The Goodyear office is at 250 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 161A. For more information, call 623-777-3637 or visit homeinstead.com/831.

“At Home Instead Senior Care, our mission is to enhance the lives of seniors within our community by providing them with a little extra help through a network of compassionate, well-trained ‘CAREGivers,’” Blair said in an email.

As for Buckeye, a company spokeswoman noted construction on the future Hilton Home2 Suites at I-10 and Watson Road has been slightly delayed, though the 90-suite extended-stay hotel is still on track for a December opening.

Avondale has a new career center, thanks to a partnership between the city and Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona. A grand opening and ribbon-cutting event is scheduled for 11 a.m. Tuesday, January 29. Located inside the Care1st Avondale Resource Center, 328 W. Western Avenue, it offers employment services including resume building, job search assistance, career coaching, connections to job leads and training opportunities, employment resources and occasional hiring events, all for free during the Care1st center’s hours of operation, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every third Saturday.

Arepa Soundtracks puts its own spin on Venezuelan cuisine

By Connor Dziawura

Arepa Soundtracks owner Cameron Everett says food and music go handin-hand.

“I think every time you try an arepa it’s no different than trying a new song,” explained Everett about the type of food made of ground maize dough or cooked flour prominent in the cuisine of Venezuela.

Everett is speaking of the new discoveries, textures and details listeners can make each time they replay a song.

It’s the same with cuisine, he said.

“Unless you’re Wolfgang Puck or Gordon Ramsay or something and have super taste buds, I just don’t know if you’re going to pick every note up.

Same with drinking beer or wine or whatever. I relate that to music.

“I also think music, food and beverage are what God has given us to have a happy life, so I think they should be tied together. I think it fits for me.”

Everett and his wife, Martha, opened the music-themed Venezuelan food truck in Alabama last February and relocated to the West Valley in October.

They take classic Venezuelan dishes and applied fun, new names.

Most important is Arepa Soundtracks serves handmade arepas; they’re not frozen.

After arepas are prepared, each one is wrapped and labeled with a sticker bearing the namesake band’s logo.

Menus are presented on thrifted vinyl records.

And The Grateful Dead may be to thank for it all. While listening to the Dead’s “Casey Jones,” he said his own notion came to him.

Arepa Soundtracks’ Casey Jones is Black Angus beef; red, yellow and orange bell peppers; sweet Peruvian onions; garlic; salt; pepper; and cheddar cheese. The food truck’s website describes it as “a harmony of flavors The Grateful Dead would become addicted” to.

A Venezuelan classic called the Reina Pepiada was renamed The Champion of the World after Queen. That incorporates shredded chicken, green onions, peas, mayonnaise and half an avocado.

Vegetarian eaters can try the Domino, a black bean-based meal with jalapeños; red, yellow and orange bell peppers; sweet Peruvian onions; garlic; salt; pepper; and mozzarella cheese.

“Van Morrison supposedly is a vegetarian, so our Domino is fitting,” Everett explained. “He has a song called

‘Domino.’ It’s called the Domino in Venezuela because of black beans and white cheese, so it all tied in with Van Morrison for me.”

More niche music fans can try the Pork and Cheese If You Please, a nod to the eclectic Ween and its “Pork Roll Eggs & Cheese” song off The Pod. For this one, slow-cooked pork meets rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper and cheddar cheese.

“I started singing (‘Pork Roll Eggs & Cheese’) to myself and I’m like, ‘That’s our pork and cheese, whatever, let’s give a nod to Ween.’ No one talks about Ween,” he said. “And if you guess that sticker, man, I’ll high-five and fist-bump you.”

The King is the most popular arepa, Everett says. It features caramelized sweet plantains; Black Angus; red, yellow and orange bell peppers; sweet Peruvian onions; garlic; salt; pepper; black beans with a bit of a jalapeño kick; and mozzarella cheese.

“We call it The King after Elvis, the greatest,” Everett explained. “It’s the most popular in Venezuela, it was the most popular in Alabama, and it seems to be one of the most popular here.”

All arepas cost $10 and include tax, chips and a bottle of water. But it’s not just arepas.

An empanada named after Led Zeppelin’s “The Epic,” an obscure rough mix of “Carouselambra,” costs $6, or patrons can get two for $10.

“Our empanadas are amazing,” Everett said. “They’re made with the Harina P.A.N. white corn meal that the arepas are made out of.”

Salads and “sidetracks” cost $5.

This section of the menu ranges from Dreams, a craison spinach salad named

after The Cranberries’ song of the same name, to Comfort Eagle, a Venezuelan quesillo cake in honor of Cake’s collection, and Day-O, a nod to Harry Belafonte.

The menu also pays tribute to Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and The Beatles.

Everett said he wasn’t always familiar with the popular Venezuelan item known as an arepa, though – that is un-

til he met Martha, who is of Venezuelan heritage. Everett has Crohn’s disease, so Martha introduced him to arepas as a gluten-free option. And he loved it.

(Empanadas are gluten free, too.)

So, Everett turned to Google. He noticed a lack of representation around the country and, coming from a farm and restaurant background, he decided arepas were the right fit for his desire to start his own restaurant.

The Everetts are based in the West Valley, but Cameron isn’t ruling out taking the food truck wherever business is in the Valley. A schedule of locations can be found on its website, arepasoundtracks.com.

He has big goals for Arepa Soundtracks. Though staples in American culture now, he notes once-foreign items like tacos and pizza weren’t as represented. His goal is to get arepas to the same status.

“I’ve got big dreams and I want to help with resources grow a chain of Venezuelan arepa and empanada restaurants,” he said. “I just think it’s possible.”

Barro’s Pizza raises more than $1M for hunger fight

By West Valley View staff

Barro’s Pizza helped make a difference in the fight against hunger in Arizona, thanks to its customers. The pizza chain recently hosted its seventh annual Doran Barro Holiday Hunger Fight benefiting St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance.

The Barro family donated 100 percent of the proceeds from all 40 Barro’s locations on this day to help those in Arizona who faced hard times during the holidays.

In a single day, Barro’s Pizza raised $255,141 for St. Mary’s, making this the highest-annual donation from the event. Every dollar donated equates

to seven meals, so this year’s money provided 1,785,987 meals this holiday season to Arizona’s hungry. Proceeds from 2018 have brought the seven-year total to $1,206,257, which equals almost 8.5 million meals.

Over the years, the Doran Barro Holiday Hunger Fight has become St. Mary’s largest cause-marketing effort of the year.

“We are so grateful to our community for the support that they showed our event and St. Mary’s,” said Ken Barro, owner of Barro’s Pizza. “It is really the community who are providing these meals and we are happy to be a part of it.”

The Barro family is committed to end-

ing hunger in Arizona and dedicates the first Tuesday of every December to this cause.

“The Barro Family continues to amaze the food bank. More than $1 million raised in seven years for the hungry of Arizona is an incredible achievement and an incredible gift,” said Barro’s Pizza donated 100 percent of its proceeds to St. Mary’s St. Mary’s President Food Bank Alliance in early December. (Photo courtesy Barro’s) and CEO Tom Kertis. “From the bottom of our hearts we loyal customers that make this such a thank everyone at Barro’s and al the fabulous event each year.”

Local MMA organization readying for first fight of year

By Griffin Fabits

Ringside Unified Fighting’s Joel Lopez keeps in his mind a running checklist of the traits every good martial arts matchmaker must have.

The Goodyear resident narrowed it down to this: They build relationships, travel from gym to gym to recruit fighters and understand the importance of catering to clients’ needs.

Lopez recently hired matchmaker Jason Martinez, who has cruised through all areas of the role just one year into the job. The 15-year-old company bolstered its already stellar reputation. His alumni include Cain Velasquez, Ryan Bader, CB Dollaway, Kelvin Gastelum and John Moraga.

But weeks ago, Martinez ventured into Avondale’s Damri MMA, where he was approached by a trio of fighters – Nick Hawkins, Robert Shepardson and Michael Schlageck – who were looking to make their debut.

“They recognized the promotion,” said Martinez, also of Goodyear. “It was serendipity. It was perfect timing.

They jumped on board and went 3-0 in our first event with us.”

The three fighters acquired from Damri MMA made Martinez’s job – and frankly, his life – much sweeter in their professional fighting debut event.

Martinez and Lopez are optimistic about Ringside Unified Fighting, which has its first fight of the new year on Saturday, January 26, at Ultra Star Multi-tainment Center in Maricopa.

They have slotted 36 of their fighters on the card. Three are professional fights while the remaining 15 are amateur matches.

The club’s youngest fighter is just 19 years old, while the oldest is 47-yearold Casa Grande police officer Jeff Thorton. Thorton is slated to fight 51-year-old RJ Gamez in one of the three professional scraps.

“These guys both have been chomping at the bit for a while,” Lopez said.

“They wanted this fight. They matched themselves up. They said, ‘Hey, we hate each other. We want to kill each other. Can you put us on your fight card?’ I’m like, ‘Done! Thank you,’” he said with a laugh.

Damri MMA owner Artur Niewiadowski is thrilled for the three fighters who have pledged to fight for Martinez, though it’s not what he envisioned happening with his Avondale gym. “(The gym) was opened to give back to the community,” Niewiadowski

said. “It was never meant to be a fighter gym. It was meant to be a complete gym that gives parents the exact training that their kids deserve for a low cost.”

But as soon as Damri became host to “high-caliber trainers,” Niewiadowski said, fighters looking to crack the professional field inevitably followed.

“It was very exciting for me,” he said when his trio of fighters introduced themselves to Ringside Fighting with a flawless debut. “I didn’t think it was going to happen.”

As his gym gains recognition throughout the Valley, Niewiadowski said he doesn’t want praise. The credit should go to the trainers and fighters, who spend a wealth of time preparing for fights.

Martinez has learned, too, the fighters’ status means little to a matchmaker. What’s crucial to his job is learning to treat and approach each fighter the same.

“It’s really about creating relationships and keeping the fighters’ best interests in mind,” Martinez said. “A lot of these guys are young and hun-

gry and they’re not rich, nor do they train at these massive, glamorous gyms.

“When you’re young and hungry and you’re not there yet, you need all the help you can get. So, we try and provide the best customer service for the coaches and the fighters. Without them, there’s no show.”

Millennium aims to shatter attendance record

By Griffin Fabits

The Millennium High School girls’ soccer team is aiming to break its national record for attendance at a girls’ high school soccer game when it hosts the Verrado Vipers on Senior Night January 24.

Millennium is preparing for 3,000 fans, one year after setting a national record with an estimated attendance of 2,200.

Two years ago, when head coach David Cameron introduced the Sellout Game and Senior Night event, the Tigers played in front of 1,359 people on a cold, rainy night. There wasn’t a previous record.

Cameron, who’s also the head coach for the Phoenix College men’s soccer

team, created the event to spark competition between schools for their soccer programs. Cameron wants to see which schools and programs can garner the most support.

Millennium has scheduled no other sporting events for January 24, so other in-season athletes can attend the game.

Tickets are $1 for the 6 p.m. kickoff.

The half-time festivities are headlined by a Millennium-versus-Verrado alumni soccer game.

Cameron, who is confident the Tigers will “shatter” last year’s record, said folks should attend because Millennium is 13-1-1.

“If we don’t get 3,000, I’ll cry,” Cameron quipped.

Football players leading underlooked La Joya basketball

By Eric Newman

Senior Bryan Nicholas jumped to grab a rebound, had nowhere to land his feet and fell hard on his back with an audible thump that aroused gasps from the crowd at La Joya Community High.

The same fall might have kept most players down and limping back to the sideline to seek training. Nicholas took a deep breath, got up, adjusted his jersey and ran back on defense. That sort of fall was nothing new for the Lobos basketball forward. He experienced far worse just months before on the football field.

“My team needed me, so I got up and played through the pain,” he said.

Nicholas and point guard Alfred Jordan are the two leading scorers for the Lobos this season, averaging 13.2 and 11.7 points, respectively. They were also both major senior contributors on La Joya’s football team; Nicholas at safety and Jordan at running back and corner.

Jordan’s quick drive through multiple defenders to hit a contested lay up in the dying seconds of the Lobos’ 58-

56 win over Boulder Creek on January 17 looked scarily similar to a rushing touchdown on the gridiron.

Last football season is a sore subject for La Joya, though. The Lobos went 7-3, and won six of their last seven games, in 2018. However, they were left out of the 16-team 6A playoff bracket, behind several teams with worse records.

The perceived snub serves as motivation for the basketball players.

“I’ve got a big chip on my shoulder because we got snubbed from the playoffs by teams that were 3-7 or 4-6 and so on. In my head, that really hit me hard. It shows how underrated La Joya really is, so when basketball started, it was time to turn up,” Nicholas said.

The football elimination joins other snubs from playoff contention. La Joya basketball missed the playoffs last season, and even a chance at a play-in game, despite a 13-9 record.

Coach Roger Lefebvre said the senior football players – and the rest of the team – are hoping to create their own success by reaching the postseason this year.

“They’re trying to make their way now, make their legacy. They want one of those,” Lefebvre said, pointing to the championship banners on the gym wall. “They haven’t experiences playoff basketball because they missed it last year.”

After the win against Boulder Creek, the Lobos were 13-6 with six games remaining in the season.

Ranked 15th in 6A with just weeks left, La Joya said the goal is to win as many games as possible, leaving no chance the Lobos are left out of postseason contention.

“We just have to put much more work into practice and games and with each other, so we can compete and win games. Then, people will Senior Bryan Nicholas dribbles for La Joya Community basketball. Nicholas was a safety for the have to notice us,” Jordan said.

Youngker’s Garcia eyeing postseason bid in senior campaign

By Griffin Fabits

Makayla Garcia’s father penciled his daughter into a lineup as a catcher eight years ago. The teen has parlayed that incidental switch into a prolific softball career at Youngker High School.

After her final season in a Roughriders uniform she’ll ship off to Florida International University in the fall.

The reigning Defensive Player of the Year in the 4A Southwest Region committed to the Panthers last December.

“The coaches were super friendly and up front,” Makayla said, citing what made FIU special. “I wanted to stay in the heat since I’m used to it. I loved (the school) when I saw the campus from pictures.”

The recruiting process began when Makayla was a sophomore, thanks to a Premier Girls Fastpitch tournament that’s open to colleges and coaches.

“I got the chance to play and that’s when schools started seeing me and reaching out to me, when they saw me catch.”

A trio of schools quickly became interested in Makayla. She was fresh off a freshman season with the Youngker varsity squad that saw her bat .403 with eight extra-base hits in 22 games, according to MaxPreps.

After missing her sophomore season While the news of her commitment due to a broken foot, she led the region is still just months old, Garcia’s mothwith six home runs in a er, Jackie, the head softball bounce-back junior year. coach at Youngker, had a The Garcias learned of hunch this was imminent.

move to Miami, Jackie and Makayla will enjoy one final ride together at Youngker.

“For my last year at Youngker, I definitely want to get Player of the Year,” Makayla said. “But, most importantly, I want to help my team and go to playoffs for the very first time. That’s my goal.”

Jackie, who’s entering her fourth season at the helm of the softball program, was nervous to coach her daughter in high school. She didn’t know if the notion of being the “coach’s kid” would probe Makayla into taking a laid-back approach to the sport.

But quite the opposite has unfolded in this near four-year stretch.

“I knew I was going to have to separate mom and coach,” Makayla said. “I feel like I had this role to prove to people that I wasn’t just playing because she’s my mom. I worked very hard and I let my playing do the talking. “It was different but something that helped me push myself even more.”

Jackie added, “It’s been a pleasure for me to be able to coach her because she is that standout athlete that, for all those years that I have been coaching, you try and pull that athlete out of someone and she really exemplifies that.”

Main Street Coalition readies Buckeye Days

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

For the Buckeye Main Street Coalition, Buckeye Days is about more than the cattle drive, parade and carnival. It’s about showcasing the city and everything it has to offer, said Charlene Powers, the organization’s president.

“We want to get people downtown and we want to help nonprofits,” Powers said.

Nonprofits are the lifeline of Buckeye Days, just as much as they rely on the event. Sprinkled throughout the four days are fundraisers for groups like the Friends of the Library, which hosts a barbecue at 6:30 p.m. Friday, January 25, at the Buckeye Elementary School gymnasium.

“We get help from all different organizations,” said Powers, who owns Powers-Leavitt Insurance Agency.

“All the proceeds go back to these nonprofits.

“At the barbecue, they showcase families from the Buckeye area, the founding families. We then take those families and that’s who we honor in the parade the next morning.”

This year’s grand marshal is Arizona cotton producer Bruce Heiden.

The event’s centerpiece is the cattle drive, when 40 head of cattle rush down Main Street.

“It’s not something you see very often,” Powers said. “People love that. Besides that, we have the families we’re honoring, the regular parade entries and John Deere tractors.”

Continuing with the nonprofit events, the Buckeye Valley Histori-

cal Museum is hosting a hamburger, chips and drink dinner for $5 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, January 26. Museum tours will be held as well. Powers said the proceeds benefit the Buckeye Valley Historical Society.

Other activities include a beard contest and gold panning.

“It’s a fun event,” Powers said of Buckeye Days. “I grew up in Buckeye.

I’m really committed to trying to improve our downtown and preserve our history and help downtown businesses grow.”

Alfa Romeo Stelvio is something special

By C.A. Haire

Most consumers consider an SUV to be a practical vehicle – great for hauling the kids to school and bringing groceries home from the market.

The Alfa Romeo Stelvio is capable of performing these chores, but a look at the price tag – a $44K base and $54K as tested – indicates this might be something special. And it is.

Under that Italian SUV body are the same mechanical goodies borrowed from the Alfa Giulia sport sedan, which has proven to be a serious challenge to the German competition. It is powered by a tiny 2.0-liter turbo engine that cranks out a healthy 280 horsepower, and is hooked to an eight-speed automatic gearbox, with paddle shifters on the steering column. The claimed 0-to-60 mph time is 5.6 seconds, which we verified. Also included are strong brakes, all-wheel drive, sophisticated suspension, and large tires. Let’s call it a

wolf in sheep’s clothing.

We put 800 miles on the clock and were not disappointed. This SUV is very quick, and when taken on tight mountain roads, it whipped around corners as well as any German sport sedan we have tried. Fuel economy is rated at 22/28 mpg. We observed 19 mpg when moving very fast in our 130-mile mountain drive. On the highway, 75 mph cruising improved the figure to 27 mpg. While this Alfa Romeo Stelvio goes 0 to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds.

Permit Test @ Home a huge Litchfield Park Trout Derby returns to Tierra Verde hit for customers in 2018

By West Valley View staff

The introduction of the online Permit Test @ Home learner’s permit exam has proven so successful it created the equivalent of approximately 18 additional business days for Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division offices in 2018.

“Even customers who don’t have a potential teen driver at home benefit from this online service,” said MVD Stakeholder Relations Manager Jennifer Bowser-Richards.

“Every time this online test is taken, that means a teenager and at least one parent or guardian does not have to visit an MVD office for that purpose.”

The online test requires a parent or guardian to establish an account at AZ MVD Now, which is accessed through ServiceArizona.com. Once the test is passed, the only office visit now required is the one in which the teen has the test process confirmed and the ac-

O B S T E T R I C S • G Y N E C O L O G Y

tual permit is issued. This visit can be scheduled through an online appointment.

The Permit Test @ Home was introduced in March 2018 and at the close of the year, more than 66,700 online tests had been taken. Because the office test requires a parent or guardian to be present, that number would at least double to more than 133,000 people coming into an MVD office for the test. The MVD averages 7,300 office visits statewide every day, so the reduction of more than 133,000 office visits equals about 18 business days.

“Reducing the number of office visits people need to make is part of MVD’s vision to get Arizona out of line and safely on the road. This means less customer traffic and better service, which are among the goals of the Arizona Management System,” Bowser-Richards added.
