The Voice of the West Valley for 35 years

West Valley freeways pave way for growth

BY MARCUS BRAITHWAITE

West Valley View Contributing Writer

T

he West Valley has become a driving force for economic growth in Arizona, and the region is staying in the fast lane with development along five hot business corridors.

Its proximity to California ports and strategic connections to Mexico and the CANAMEX Corridor historically have provided the West Valley with the ability to attract companies and workforce talent — but now, those opportunities are booming as significant freeway development and advanced industry corridors circle the western suburbs.

According to Sintra Hoffman, president and CEO of WESTMARC, there is more than 11 million square feet of approved

square footage for office, entertainment, health care and retail, and other advanced industries along freeway frontage in the West Valley.

These key commerce corridors, Hoffman said, highlight diverse and industry-specific uses, such as health care, advanced business services, information technology, manufacturing, engineering and aerospace, and logistics and supply-chain management.

The region serves as a major transportation hub and access point via roughly 200 miles of freeway frontage along the Loops 101, 202 and 303 and Interstates 10 and 17.

Rick Buss, economic development director for Peoria, agreed that transportation is a key component to long-term economic and social prosperity of the West Valley.

“The West Valley is home to the I-10, I-17, 101, 202 and the 303 — connecting residents and businesses efficiently,” he said.

“When locating a business to Peoria, we are able to talk about the benefits of the quick and easy access to anywhere in the Valley, as well as key distribution destinations for regional, national and international trade.”

Loop 202 technology corridor The South Mountain Freeway has long been part of the region’s transportation plans. It was funded in part by Proposition 400, a dedicated sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004.

vondale Mayor Kenneth Weise discussed inspiration and highlighted city improvements in the State of the City address.

This year’s event was held outdoors at Phoenix Raceway with COVID-19 precautions in place.

Weise acknowledged the challenges brought to Avondale in the past year, highlighting the resiliency in the community and the improvements they accomplished.

“In spite of the challenges and hardships our country faced as a result of the coronavi-

rus pandemic in 2020, Avondale Avondale can expect to see rallied as a community around the health care sector continue our residents and businesses, to grow, with Clearsky Health demonstrating resiliency, adaptand Phoenix Children’s Hospital ability, courage, innovation and planning to bring new facilities to determination to forge ahead,” the city.

Mayor...continued from page 1 Weise also discussed the development of The BLVD, a multiuse area that includes shops, restaurants and other amenities. Avari Apartments and The Village at The BLVD are expected to bring more than 500 residential units to this mixed-use district in 2021. Sticking with that topic, Avondale was ranked as the hottest housing market in the Valley. It’s the only city in the state to reach triple-digit growth in residential permits in the last year.

The city expects this growth to continue and anticipates nearly 800 new home builds in 2021.

Rooftops will need amenities. The 30acre Alamar Park is expected to be completed in the spring of 2022.

“You’ve seen the investments that we’re making there. That tells developers, that tells people who are going to invest their hard money that the city has a stake in what you’re doing. You should be here, too,” Weise said.

A new fire station is also underway for Avondale at Van Buren Street and 127th Avenue, making it the city’s fifth fire station.

Among the most notable celebrations was the grand opening for the Arizona

Complete Health Avondale Resource Center at the Marie Lopez Rogers Complex, providing vital community, housing and human services. The city also completed its expansion of its police headquarters, adding 14,800 square feet of space for a modern property and evidence storage facility.

In Old Town Avondale, four local businesses received improvements with funding provided by the Community Development Block Grant. The businesses were provided with new façades aimed to improve the neighborhood aesthetic, increase energy efficiency of the buildings, and attract new investments to the city.

“Those facilities help us fulfill a commitment that this council made to our residents and our business owners that public safety would come first, and it’s also a commitment to the people who protect us every night and every day,” Weise said.

Despite the challenges faced in the past year, Weise looks forward to what can and will be done.

“We are excited for the next chapter of Avondale’s story to be written,” Weise said.

Weise withdraws proclamation regarding face coverings

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

A

vondale Mayor Kenn Weise withdrew the city’s emergency proclamation issued June 18, 2020, declaring the use of face coverings in the city of Avondale due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The announcement comes on the heels of Executive Order 2021-06

by Gov. Doug Ducey, prohibiting all counties, cities and towns in Arizona from mandating the use of face coverings. The order (https://bit.ly/ 39bCGd9) and this withdrawal also eliminate the following requirements in the city of Avondale: • Face coverings are not required in city parks and open public spaces.

• Events of 50 or more will no longer require the approval of local government.

• Local businesses are no longer required to mandate employees and customers wear face coverings. Businesses have the right to continue COVID-19 mitigation measures such as requiring face coverings and social distancing and can contact the Avondale Police Department for assistance in enforcing such measures.

The order does not prohibit the city from maintaining COVID-19 mitigation policies and practices in city facilities and buildings, including requiring the use of face coverings.

The city manager will continue to require face coverings to be worn by employees in all city buildings and indoor facilities, until further notice.

The Avondale City Court, under Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Administrative Order 2020-79, will continue to require face masks until further notice.

“Our community needs to remain vigilant against the threat of COVID-19,” Weise said. “While the number of cases is on the decline in Arizona, coronavirus is still circulating. I urge residents to follow public health guidelines and exercise caution to avoid becoming infected.”

The city encourages residents to stay informed about the level of spread of COVID-19; exercise effective habits, such as social distancing, good hygiene and mask wearing when physical distancing is not possible; and take advantage of opportunities to be vaccinated against the disease.

The city will continue the following measures, among others, to help reduce the risk to people: • Mandatory mask requirements for employees in city buildings.

• Advising those who are sick not to enter public buildings.

• Encouraging interactions online, by phone or by email, when possible.

• Increased sanitizing in city buildings.

The city recommends members of the public wear face coverings in all city-owned and -operated buildings, facilities and enclosed public spaces in accordance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Arizona Department of Health Services guidelines.

Growth...continued from page 1 project, which opened in December 2019, adds 22 miles of freeway to the existing Phoenix metro transportation system and connects the East and West valleys, while providing much-needed relief to existing freeway corridors and local streets. The new portion of the 202 also provides improved access to Tucson and Southern Arizona’s trade opportunities.

According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, the $1.7 billion project took more than three years to construct. The new section of Loop 202 branches off the Interstate 10 in West Phoenix, heading south across Van Buren, Buckeye, Baseline and other surface streets all the way to Elliot Road, where it bends to the east between the Gila River Indian Reservation and South Mountain. It then turns directly east to Chandler, where it again intersects the I-10.

This was Arizona’s first highway project built using a public-private partnership, which combined design, construction and maintenance in a single contract. Connect 202 Partners, the developer, will maintain the South Mountain Freeway for the next 30 years.

ADOT estimates that 117,000 vehicles a day will travel the new loop, compared with about 300,000 a day that travel the I-10 through Downtown Phoenix.

“The Loop 202 South Mountain Technology Corridor is emerging as an ideal location for high-tech manufacturing and other advanced industries,” Hoffman said. “Phoenix continues to focus business-attraction efforts on acquiring industry that will provide knowledge-intensive, high-value jobs, such as corporate campus users, class A office settings and light industrial parks.”

Most commercial development along the 202 corridor is industrial with some retail inventory. Economic development leaders in Phoenix and the West Valley eventually want to see a diverse development mix built along the corridor with a focus on employment opportunities. Much of the land adjacent to the new freeway is zoned for big-box warehouse and distribution businesses.

More than 9 million square feet of retail, office and light industrial is planned in the West Valley along Loop 202. The goal is to create a high jobs-generating

NEWS corridor along the loop, much like the Price Road Corridor in Chandler near the Loop 101, which includes tech giant Intel and other companies.

“The new 202 Freeway offers a rare opportunity in a vast new employment corridor,” said Christine Mackay, director, Phoenix Community and Economic Development. “We created the South Mountain Technology Corridor as an area of modern business campuses for advanced manufacturing, business services and emerging industries.”

Additionally, Phoenix officials said the new Loop 202 freeway has allowed the city to market greenfield areas that previously were not easily accessible. It also has facilitated development opportunities that have attracted more retail and services for area residents.

Along the 202 corridor, the city of Phoenix recently landed APEL Extrusions’ U.S. headquarters at 59th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road. They are building a 350,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that will add more than 300 jobs. In addition, an e-commerce consignment company, TheRealReal, is adding 1,500 jobs to the region.

“With the approval of the Laveen

Spectrum PUD and continued build out of Laveen Park Place, the Loop 202 South Mountain Technology Corridor has transformed the intersection of 59th Avenue and Baseline Road into Phoenix’s next dominant retail intersection,” said Martin Perez, program manager, advanced manufacturing, for the city of Phoenix.

Loop 303 Although planned commercial uses for Loop 303 focus on industrial, advanced manufacturing, distribution, retail, manufacturing and logistics, the 303 Corridor — specifically in Glendale and Goodyear — is one of the hottest areas for large-scale industrial development.

The industrial logistics space in the 303 Corridor in Glendale and Goodyear is expected to grow by more than 200%, from 15 million square feet to 50 million square feet in the next five to six years as the two cities add manufacturing and logistics companies, capitalizing on their location.

As a doctor who has treated 100’s of whiplash patients I can tell you that whiplashpain is different from other types of neck pain.

After a whiplash injury, many patients develop long lasting pain that often spreads throughout their body; a condition called Chronic Widespread Pain Syndrome.

Research shows nearly 1 out of 2 patients respond poorly to treatment of chronic widespread pain, post-whiplash, resulting in lifelong symptoms.

The journal Pain Physician reports long term symptoms following a whiplash is due to abnormal pain processing in the brain. Other researchers found patients who develop a widespread pain syndrome after an auto accident have abnormal function in their inner ear.

More alarming, many of the routine tests used to evaluate whiplash patients are normal in those patients who go on to develop lifelong symptoms.

Have you been in an accident? Several simple tests can help you to determine if you are at risk for long term problems.

Recent wins for the area include Ball Metal Beverage Container Corp., Red Bull, Arizona Isotopes Corp., Daimler Trucks North America, XPO Logistics (which serves Boeing), SubZero, REI, Dicks Sporting Goods, 83 Marketplace, Prasada and Auto Show.

The cities of Surprise and Peoria have targeted residential development need-driven uses such as a retail/commercial corridor, health care and technology park employment opportunities.

“Most of the land along the Loop 303 is owned by the Arizona State Land Department and is as of yet undeveloped,” Buss said. “Our continued alliance with our regional partners and the Land Department on smart growth strategies remains vital to the region.”

The 400-plus acre parcel at Loop 303 and Vistancia Boulevard, called Vistancia Commercial Core, for example, is an “excellent opportunity for commercial and mixed-use development,” he said.

“There is also an opportunity to work with our neighboring cities in creating corridors resembling key industries of

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MARCH 31, 2021

high-quality, head-of-household jobs.”

According to published reports, a joint venture between CRG, the real estate development arm of Chicago-based Clayco, and Phoenix-based Bird Dog Industrial also is planning a 335-acre industrial park that will eventually total 5.5 million square feet of space near Loop 303 in Glendale.

Just north of the Clayco project at the Woolf Logistics Center, both Red Bull and Mark Anthony Brewing have developed manufacturing facilities. That site is northeast of where a Canadian REIT bought 108 acres and plans to build a 2.25 million-square-foot industrial park called Sarival Logistics Center.

Also coming online is the first phase of the $115 million Park 303 industrial park, which includes 1.2 million square feet of class A industrial space in Glendale, near Loop 303 and Glendale Avenue. The first phase is part of a larger master plan that will include 4.5 million square feet of new industrial space and cost an estimated $430 million.

There is no arguing that the Loop 303 freeway has helped bring more jobs to the West Valley, making farther locations more desirable to buyers.

“You want to be near a freeway, not just for truck traffic but for the attraction and retention of employees,” said David Krumwiede, executive vice president for Lincoln Property Co., in a November 2020 interview about Park 303.

Loop 101 With developments such as Desert Diamond Casino, the Westgate Entertainment District, Topgolf and a newly refreshed Park West, there are plenty of places to play, eat or shop along the Loop 101 in the West Valley.

Kevin Phelps, Glendale city manager, said the Arrowhead Mall shopping corridor and the Sports & Entertainment District, both in Glendale, draw patrons from throughout the entire Phoenix metropolitan area.

“The Loop 101 has helped make both of these areas easily accessible and thus successful. The extension of the Loop 202 freeway, which opened in early 2020 now brings visitors to Glendale from the East Valley quickly and easily,” he said.

Phelps said Glendale’s Sports & Entertainment District is designed to have everything people would need for a memorable experience. Attending a sporting event or concert and then having dinner in Westgate or a day at Topgolf are great examples of that.

The entertainment and employment corridor has been in development for nearly 20 years with the opening of Westgate in 2004. Westgate is home to the Arizona Cardinals NFL and Arizona Coyotes NHL teams, as well as restaurants, retail and entertainment venues.

Spring Training also has been a big draw in the area, with Major League Baseball teams all playing along the corridor in Phoenix and Peoria.

“Having been there for 20 years now, I’ve seen the difference and the economic growth that we’ve experienced in the West Valley as a result of the Loop 101 being completed, the Loop 303 being completed,” Hoffman said.

Additional office employment, retail and entertainment are planned along Loop 101, including a new family entertainment center called Crystal Lagoons Island Resort.

“Crystal Lagoons Island Resort is a very exciting upcoming project that will also be a great gathering place, and it is something nobody in Arizona can rep-

licate,” Phelps said. “The Sports & Entertainment District must draw people who live locally and be a destination for those who live in other parts of the Valley or even out of state.”

He said doubling the number of hotel rooms since the 2015 Super Bowl may be the most significant development to take place in Glendale.

“The Sports & Entertainment District will likely be in the conversation for major mega events like Super Bowls, Final Four Playoff games, NCAA College Football Championships and more for years to come,” Phelps said.

Interstate 10 Because 36% of health care workforce live in the West Valley, a wellplanned medical corridor has been developed along I-10 that stretches from Goodyear to Avondale to Phoenix with major health care facilities and Fortune 500 companies.

The area’s growing medical corridor houses Cancer Treatment Centers of America, the Abrazo West Campus, Adelante Healthcare, AKOS Medical Group, Iora Health, Copper Springs Hospital and Integrated Medical Services (IMS).

As part of the Goodyear Medical Innovation Corridor, Franklin Pierce University’s expansion will add new health-sciences programs and grow its existing doctoral program in physical therapy.

FPU also is launching a hybrid online/ in-person master’s degree program for physician assistants in August 2022.

I-10, which is one of only three transcontinental routes connecting both the East and West coasts of the U.S. providing access to international ports of entry, runs right through the West Valley.

Because it connects to other freeways, development along the interstate has been a key to the strategic growth of the region.

According to Lisa Lantz, Avondale’s economic development analyst, more than 3 million square feet of industrial product is under construction within the Fairway 10 project fronting the freeway corridor in Avondale. The 720,000-square-foot project is adjacent to the new Fairway Drive Exit that opened in January and is anticipated to be completed in summer.

Southwest Food Excellence (SFE), which partners with the district, has been participating in the Summer Food Service Program that provides free breakfast and lunch for all children ages 18 and younger.

Even with the return to in-person learning on March 22, families who chose to stay learning online can access meals a variety of ways. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, curbside pickup is available at Country Place Leadership Academy and Estrella Vista STEM Academy for Engineering.

Hours are from 10 a.m. to noon and from 4 to 6 p.m. Families receive a package of meals that contain breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack.

Families who may not be able to make it to curbside pickup can preorder a seven-day meal package that will be delivered to their home on Wednesdays.

For those students who are back in the classroom, they receive breakfast and lunch free at school. At dismissal, students can take home a package containing dinner and a snack.

“We want to make sure that no matter where the child is learning we are here to help them succeed by providing healthy meals,” said Anabel Rubio, SFE general manager.

“This helps them focus and provides the nutrition needed to grow and thrive.”

he city of Avondale and the Avondale Municipal Art Committee (AMAC) is seeking the public’s input as it works on updating the Avondale public art masterplan.

A public meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 14, and those interested may participate virtually via Zoom.

Last updated in 2014, the public art master plan serves as an important document that guides the city as well as the art committee on bringing public art into the community for everyone to enjoy.

The master plan serves to define what public art is; develop a vision, goals and strategies for establishing a robust public art plan for Avondale; identify opportunities for art in the community; and identify potential funding and procedures for securing, documenting and maintaining the city’s public art collection.

“Over the past two decades, Avondale has steadily added to its public art collection throughout the community,” said Pier Simeri, Avondale’s marketing director and staff liaison for the Avondale Municipal Art Committee.

“Whether it’s large-scale sculptures at our city parks and in front of city hall or artistic elements such as mosaics

and murals on buildings, public art can be found throughout the city. It’s important that the public art master plan is updated to reflect the community’s vision for public art as the city grows and builds out. This is also an opportunity to develop thematic ideas around what is Uniquely Avondale and how public art can embody that.”

The public is encouraged to view the existing public art master plan on the city’s website, https://bit.ly/3w8BHUI, and attend the meeting at 6 p.m.

Wednesday, April 14, to provide input.

The city will also provide opportunities for feedback via surveys and email through early June, before a draft of the plan is presented to the Avondale Municipal Art Committee on June 15 for approval. The updated plan is anticipated to go before the City Council for approval in July.

Growth...continued from page 4

Samsung is eyeing a 1,100-acre site in Goodyear just off the I-10 that the city recently designated a foreign trade zone for a $17 billion semiconductor plant.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the proposed chipmaking plant could create almost 2,000 jobs.

Other planned uses for the I-10 corridor include retail, technology and industrial development.

“Pasternack and Associates continues construction of their 142-acre, 1 million-square-foot industrial park at I-10 and 83rd Avenue,” Perez said, adding that notable developments along Loop 101 include the Aldea Centre at Bethany Home Road and the Algodon Center at Thomas Road.

In Buckeye, investments along I-10 and State Route 85 include new businesses such as Five Below, Parker Fasteners and Arizona Public Service. LGE Design Build also is constructing an 862,000-square-foot speculative industrial building at I-10 and Miller Road, and Boulders Realty Advisors Commercial Real Estate will be constructing 260,000-square-foot flex industrial park at I-10 and Verrado Way. “Access to these transportation systems are important factors for businesses locating in Buckeye, as it connects them to their customers and suppliers, specifically those in Southern California and the Western U.S.,” said Annie DeChance, communications manager for the city of Buckeye.

Interstate 17 The I-17 corridor is another main trade connector for Arizona, linking the Phoenix metro area to commerce in Northern Arizona and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.

In the West Valley, this economic corridor is home to a number of finance and insurance employers. That may be because 32% of those industry employees in Maricopa County live in the West Valley.

Advanced business services in the area include USAA, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Farmers Insurance, as well as Karsten Manufacturing and Wells Fargo.

Grand Canyon University and several other private colleges and public universities also are part of the I-17 corridor.

Both Arizona State and Northern Arizona universities are easily accessible from the freeway.

Future growth “We are seeing tremendous growth because of the available workforce, quality of life and availability of developable land in the West Valley,” DeChance said. “As other areas of the Valley see less and less developable land, or are restricted by state land, the West Valley continues to be where people go to develop.”

The West Valley is well-positioned for economic opportunities along improved transportation corridors such as State Route 85 and State Route 30. Planned uses for these freeway corridors will include industrial and aerospace and defense.

In addition to connecting the region, economic development leaders also point to the CANAMEX corridor in the West Valley as an exciting opportunity to facilitate global trade opportunities for Arizona.

The strategic network connects international markets from Canada to Mexico via Interstate 11 — also known as the CANAMEX Corridor. The corridor was established under the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, and has been designated as such a parallel route, spanning the Western U.S. between Mexico and Canada through Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho and Montana.

The high-capacity route is proposed to include an upgraded highway but could be paired with rail and other major infrastructure components — such as energy and telecommunications.

Development of the new north-south trade corridor through Arizona and Nevada could supplement the existing system and relieve freight congestion on Interstate 5, one of only two (including I-15) continuous north-south Mexico-to-Canada interstate routes west of Texas, according to ADOT. “Transformational growth is happening in the West Valley because there is room to grow with plenty of land, new jobs being created all the time, great infrastructure and quality affordable housing,” Phelps said. “It is also a model of cooperation between West Valley cities and groups like the Maricopa Association of Governments and WESTMARC.”

PMI graduates hold unconventional graduation event

P

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

ima Medical Institute’s Phoenix campus recently hosted a graduation ceremony for students from its seven certificate and three associate degree programs.

Throughout the pandemic, many graduation ceremonies have been put on hold, moved to a virtual experience, or not held at all. Faculty and staff at the Phoenix campus wanted to recognize their graduates, and they put their heads together to come up with a plan that would make an in-person event possible. The goal was to find a way for students to receive their degrees while still following CDC guidelines and Pima Medical’s safety protocols.

Thanks to a large parking lot at the Phoenix campus, an outdoor graduation ceremony that provided space for family and friends to attend while safely staying physically distant was born.

Graduates were dropped off to line up with their respective program and families were able to park and stay safely in their vehicles to watch the event.

The campus also provided a livestream of each program graduation for those unable to attend in person.

“Our team worked hard to come up with a way that we could safely provide an environment where our students, their family and friends, and our faculty and staff could celebrate the accomplishment that is graduation,” said Stacey Nottingham, campus director, Pima Medical Institute, Phoenix cam-

pus.

“This day was a great example of the tenacity of our faculty and staff as well as the dedication of our students, who despite much uncertainty completed their programs.”

Beginning at 9 a.m. with ceremonies on the hour throughout the day, 274 students were able to walk across the stage and accept their hard-earned degree. Family and friends cheered on the graduates safely from trucks and cars parked drive-in style. The mood was one of celebration. Many students said they were grateful to be able to take part in the day.

“With so many other graduations moving to online, virtual or not at all, I love the fact that I could walk on the stage with the pomp and circumstance,” said Nicole Glashoff, sterile processing technician certificate program graduate. “It was great, the effort and work the campus put into this. We earned it, and it was great to be able to celebrate that.”

Glashoff is already employed and said she has Pima Medical to thank for that.

“We are so proud of all our graduates, and we are thrilled that we could create an environment for them to celebrate safely and be recognized for the hard work they put in,” Nottingham added.

“While we hope we are nearing the end of this pandemic, we know we can offer our students a graduation ceremony either way.”

Couple credits first responders for conquering COVID-19

BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

A

fter testing positive for COVID-19 on Nov. 23, Sherrana and Chester Garey feared they would become part of the growing statistic of the many Americans who lost their battle to the coronavirus.

“The hospital was filled with patients, and at that time they had confirmed that we both had pneumonia,” Sherrana said. “It’s very scary not knowing if I’m ever going to see my husband again or not. I wondered if we were going to be that story, that we don’t see each other ever again.”

Chester was in the hospital for eight days, and Sherrana for 14 days. Both fully recovered and remain healthy to this day.

Looking back at their encounter with COVID-19, the Gareys credit their ability to recover to the quick response and support from Buckeye first responders.

“My husband and I know that our well-being and recovery from COVID pneumonia is due largely to the excellent care we received from Buckeye Valley Fire District and the Buckeye Fire Department of Tartesso,” Sherrana said.

To show their appreciation to both crews, the Gareys served the first responders what they called gratitude meals.

“There’s a level of dignity and respect that they gave my husband and

I. They did not minimize any of our symptoms,” Sherrana said.

“They valued us each and every time that they were here. They listened to us, and they were concerned. They asked, of course, the pertinent questions and just had such high respect and regard for our well-being, and for that we are forever grateful.”

Sherrana said she and her husband are thankful for the quick response from the departments, especially because they live in a rural area.

Additionally, the Gareys are grateful for the department’s quality care and commitment to the community, despite the large difference in financial support rural areas received from the CARES Act versus what the municipalities received, Sherrana said.

“Human life, no matter rural or city, it’s the same color blue,” Sherrana said. “It’s the same loving care. It’s the same excellent medical expertise. I would just love to see more awareness of that community support. We have so much gratitude toward them and want to lift them up for what they do day in and day out without having the extra funding that the municipality has.

“It was a very vulnerable time, a very scary time. And we were so valued as individual human beings that we can never ever give them enough gratitude for.”

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

SMITH’S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Camelback Road traffic congestion Editor: Traffic on Camelback Road between the 303 and Indian School Road has become a nightmare. Thousands of cement trucks, dump trucks and UPS semi-trucks drive all day/night — even at 2 a.m. Camelback Road has become the new I-10 freeway.

Commercial vehicles are not allowed on Indian School Road between Litchfield Park and PebbleCreek, so why are they allowed on Camelback between Litchfield Park and the newer Palm Valley development? There are just as many homes with children yet 10 times more traffic.

Michael Brown Litchfield Park

Democrats, fight confidently

Editor: Like anyone else, Democrats show a frustrated and worried demeanor toward policies they find morally wrong. This is how they behaved once they heard about the various ways Republicans are trying to limit voting across the United States.

This demeanor, however, is improper.

True, Democrats must show their passion while opposing the recent tyranny that Republicans introduced, that is, voter suppression. But Democrats must not fight it as if it were a threatening problem. Why? The answer is an uplifting one: because Democrats are a strong force against tyranny.

What makes that so clear is that they, overwhelmingly, beat the tyrant of our time, namely, Donald J. Trump — just to establish this man was a tyrant. I could go on about how often he lied, about how he tried to discredit all media, about how Russia seems to favor him, but for now I will simply say that there is an obvious reason why Timothy

Snyder, a professor at Yale whose expertise is tyranny, discussed Trump so much.

But back to the main point: because Democrats have defeated Trump, that indicates — no, confirms — they are powerful against tyranny, meaning that they should not fret over the voter suppression, because they will defeat it.

My complaint, in short, is a modest one. It is upsetting that the Democratic Party is not fighting in the way they should. Considering how well they discarded Trump, they ought to know their fight to protect the votes of the American people will be an easy one.

To Democrats: Do not fear the efforts in favor of voter suppression. Fight it and fight it in the manner that shows your strength — confidently!

Ruben Martinez Garcia Tolleson

Oil prices

Editor: Why did the oil price drop in 2020?

Why are the oil prices increasing in 2021?

There are three main factors that commodities traders look at when developing the bids that influence oil prices. These are the current supply, future supply and expected demand.

Crude oil prices react to many variables, including economic news, overall supplies and consumer demand. OPEC is an international oil producing cartel that plays an important role in determining global oil supplies. Economic growth and increased industrial production can drive up the demand for crude oil.

In 2020, plummeting of the WTI oil price was the direct consequence of an oversupply of fuel and a declining demand for fuel amidst travel restrictions and economic lockdowns — not Trump or Biden.

Neither the Biden administration nor the Trump administration had anything to do with the price increase per barrel of oil.

Some believe it is Biden to blame. However, some people are always looking to put the blame on someone or something else for their misguided beliefs. And like Trump, “they may not always be right, but they are never ever wrong.”

In addition, the rapid production of the COVID-19 vaccine was not due to the Trump administration but due to the scientists who realized the importance of getting a vaccine out as soon as possible.

Trump had nothing to do with the rapid production of the vaccine. He actually stated in one of his earlier 2020 speeches that the COVID-19 virus would just go away on its own by November 2020.

I could state a lot of other incidents where the people have been misled, and by whom, but I will let CNN do that.

They seem to be pretty good at getting the truth out.

Dennis Wood Goodyear

Cowardly governor

Editor: Ducey was too cowardly to enforce a mask mandate for the state because it

wasn’t popular with his base.

The cities need to make those decisions, he said. They know what’s best, he said. That way at least he would remain in the good graces of his Republican colleagues who didn’t want one for their city.

Now he has the “courage” to strip those powers away. Suddenly he needs to make the decisions for them, meaning the ones that did have a mask mandate. The ones that didn’t care about popularity — quite the turnabout from his previous stance of giving the cities the power to decide what was best for their own city.

His one saving grace is standing up to the Trumpsters about our safe and fair election process and the outcome of it.

He’s remained quiet on that lately. Maybe he realizes you can’t talk to those lost souls who are out of touch with reality.

Oh wait, he still wants their votes, hence stripping away the cities’ powers on the mask mandate. Now it makes sense… political “sense.” Ducey, you are a coward and have shown that you put your political future above all else.

OPINION

Chamber’s statement on Ducey’s executive order WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MARCH 31, 2021

BY JOHN SAFIN

Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce President/CEO

O

n March 25, Gov. Doug Ducey issued an executive order updating COVID-19 virus safety and mitigation mandates. The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce is enthusiastic and hopeful to safely exit the pandemic; however, there are several unknowns and other issues that continue to need attention.

It will take several weeks for the effects of the state’s changes in virus prevention procedures to become visible. The evidence for this will be in the virus statistics reported by the Arizona Department of Health.

For now, the Southwest Valley Chamber will maintain the status quo requiring masks, social distancing and other prevention measures to ensure the safety of members, staff and guests.

The chamber will continue to provide outstanding service to our businesses, community and visitors.

We urge the state legislators to support and pass SB 1377 (Civil liability; Public Health Pandemic). This bill is to protect Arizona businesses, schools, health care providers, government agencies and others from frivolous COVID-19 lawsuits. We ask Gov. Ducey to sign the bill when it arrives on his desk.

Gov. Ducey’s executive order included a section that reverses mitigation action by counties, cities and towns. The

order also prevents the same governmental entities from enforcing some virus prevention mandates.

While there is a rationale having rules applied equally to everyone, there are situations when the elected officials closer to the issue have more knowledge and better decision-making ability.

The Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce stands with our local governments to support their position and the actions they take to keep their residents physically and mentally safe and to maintain a stable economy while continuing to recognize the rights of individuals.

To residents and visitors, I ask you to be courteous to each other. Many will continue to wear masks and continue social distancing. Many will choose not to wear a mask. Businesses, which are responsible for their employees and customers, can determine their own mask and other requirements for entry.

The decision whether or not to receive the vaccine is also a personal decision.

Please respect the choice of the other person just as you would like them to respect your choices.

As we have been doing for the past year, the Southwest Valley Chamber will continue to monitor whether the virus situation improves, stays the same or worsens.

We thank our chamber members, our partners and community for their continued support.

John Safin is the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce president and CEO. For more information and events, visit southwestvalleychamber.org.

Dysart Dental Owner: Dr. Sam Thomas and Dr. Tracy Thomas This husband-and-wife dental team

have been part of the West Valley since 2006, when their business was built in Litchfield Park. Since the pair opened their doors 15 years ago, Dr. Tracy Thomas said their revenue has increased by about 15%. In addition to the business’ success, she said being West Valley residents has been one of her favorite parts of their journey.

“It has a small-town feel. It feels like there’s maybe two to three degrees of separation between everyone that I meet here,” Thomas said.

“And raising a family is the greatest part, because it feels like my kids are going to be taken care of by people that I know.”

In 2012, Ground Control relocated to Litchfield Park to expand its kitchen by offering wood-fired pizzas and expanding the draft beer selection from six taps to a rotating 27 taps.

In 2019, Sean and Tara handed over ownership to Ian Harwell. Under new ownership, 2020 initially looked to bring challenges for Ground Control, as the pandemic caused many businesses to suffer. However, Harwell said, thanks to the community, they were able to thrive and find success despite COVID-19.

“Our future seemed bleak when the pandemic and mandatory shutdown first occurred, but the outpouring of support we received was beyond amazing,” Harwell said. “The support of our

loyal customers is the driving force as to why we are still operating today.”

Ground Control offers coffee that is roasted in-house; craft beer; gelato made in-house; and a new weekend brunch menu featuring chilaquiles and their fan favorite Nashville hot chicken offered in regular hot, extra hot or crazy hot in either a sandwich or tenders.

Above all, Harwell said he is thankful for the community’s continuous support.

“Being a part of the community to us means bringing quality, hand-crafted eats and amazing craft beer to our local patrons and making them proud to support a Litchfield Park small business,” he said. Ground Control is located at 4860 N. Litchfield Road. For more information, visit groundxcontrol.com or call 623-535-9066.

aving one successful food truck and catering business wasn’t enough for Buckeye resident Stephanie Holguin, as she officially opened a second.

Holguin welcomed customers to Raspi’s, her bright pink raspados and ice cream truck, on March 26.

“Having been in the food industry with my husband and his taco truck, Leyva’s Tacos, for almost four years now and my love for ice cream sparked a big interest in wanting to create a dessert truck with some of our favorite Mexican treats,” she said.

As Buckeye residents for the past 15 years, Holguin said she noticed events in the community didn’t serve the Mexican desserts her family loves.

“This gave me a bigger push to create a truck that could provide our traditional desserts and be able to share those treats at events or at stops throughout our city of Buckeye. Now we have our savory dessert truck that could provide service to the West Valley,” she said.

Raspi’s offers homemade, natural fruit raspados, ice creams, paletas, fresas con crema and bionicos.

Hope’s Artisan Bread honored by city of Avondale

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MARCH 31, 2021

BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

H

ope’s Artisan Bread has been named 2021 Avondale Green Business of the Year for its efforts to reduce waste, conserve water and energy, and prevent pollution.

Owner Hope Mendrin received the award from Vice Mayor Veronica Malone on March 4, during Avondale’s State of the City event.

Since the launch of the Green Business Program in 2018, more than 20 local businesses have become certified.

“We are incredibly humbled, and we couldn’t do it without our support of the community. We just wholeheartedly love Arizona. We love supporting our community in various ways. We love supporting local food economy agriculture,” Mendrin said.

Mendrin has grown her business from being an at-home baker in 2018, selling her bread at local farmers markets to opening her own bakery in Avondale in January.

When Mendrin opened her business, she knew being environmentally friendly was

a priority. However, it wasn’t anything she or her family hadn’t already done.

Growing up in Australia, Mendrin and her brother, Esai, were part of a recycling program called the Green Team.

Mendrin’s father led the Green Team movement at events of more than 10,000 patrons and helped send recycling away

from landfill.

“We lived it, and now we are able to do something for our community in a small, impactful way,” she said. “It’s important for us because we already have an emphasis on nourishing organic sourdough bread.

So helping our local farmers by sourcing local ingredients is huge for us. It was such

an honor for the community to see those extra efforts and to know more about us.”

Mendrin said her company partners with local farms to showcase their new ingredients, including the badger flame beetroot from Duncan Family Farms.

Supporting local farmers is one of the reasons Mendrin’s business was awarded Green Business of the Year, according to Danae Presler, Avondale’s sustainability officer.

“When you order your sourdough bread and sweets from Hope’s Artisan Bread, you are supporting a local and sustainable food system and family business,” Presler said in a press release.

“Ingredients are sourced locally and regionally, cutting down on carbon emissions and supporting local farmers. They use sustainable packaging, energy efficient appliances, optimize their delivery routes, compost food waste, and more.”

Since moving to the West Valley, Mendrin said she is proud to continue to grow her business in Avondale.

“It’s a beautiful place to be a part of. Really, my whole heart is in the bakery and people can see that. So, I really just want people to be a part of it and enjoy it,” she said.

Customers can find Hope’s Artisan Bread at Coldwater Station at 13331 W. Indian School Road, Unit 202, in Avondale.

Kassidy Dixon leads Millennium to third title

BY ZACH MOORE

West Valley View Staff Writer

M

illennium High School won its third consecutive state title on March 20 against Flowing Wells in the 5A Conference Championship.

The first title under new head coach Kevin Thomas, the Lady Tigers never trailed. Grand Canyon University commit Kassidy Dixon had 20 points and 14 rebounds in her final game for Millennium.

She will look back on a program that has her legacy written all over it.

“Getting this last championship with this group of girls was amazing,” Dixon said.

“This season tested us but also showed that we were strong enough to come out on top.”

And a season of tests it turned out to be.

The program underwent a coaching change.

The team lost key players from last year’s team. They lost three out of a four-game stretch in February, not to mention the pandemic that could have ended their season.

Yet, the girls proved to be victorious once again. Dixon said the team’s mindset was “any practice, any game could have been their last.”

Thomas gives the credit and success of this season to his team.

“It wasn’t like I came in and told them, ‘I want to win a state title,’” Thomas said. “They came to me and said they wanted to win another title. The practices were often focused on whether it was a state championship effort or not.

“It was cool to see them step up, even when the environment was difficult,” Thomas said.

That desire to win helped the Lady Tigers complete their 2020-21 season on an eight-game winning streak. In the playoffs, their average margin of victory was 25.5 points. The defensive intensity that was so crucial to coach Thomas’ game plan held their playoff opponents to a 32.5 points per game.

“We wanted to maintain the defensive integrity of the program,” Thomas said.

“The winning culture of the program,

Millennium High School)

the girls’ attitude toward winning another title, I inherited. I give a great deal of credit to the work that was done the years prior, and I don’t take that for granted.”

For Dixon and fellow senior Reese Grimsley, it meant everything to set an example for the underclassmen, like sophomore guard Mia Amundsen and freshman guard Elli Guiney. They feel the team is not only talented but will be able to address adversity head-on.

“We always stay hungry. Our program is never satisfied with just winning the title last year. We’re always ready for that next opportunity to win a state championship,” Dixon said.

Even with their program being a target after coming off back-to-back titles, the girls learned to use that as motivation to maintain an intensity in everything they did. Dixon said she feels this is something she will bring with her to the GCU women’s basketball program next year.

“I feel like I can run the floor with them,” Dixon said. “They like to move up and down the court really fast, so I feel that I will blend in well with that. I’m looking to learn from those who are older than me.

“Whatever they need me to do, I’m willing to do.”

Rare rhino sent to WWZ to avoid extinction

aoto, a rare male white rhino, arrived at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park from San Diego Zoo Safari Park to kick off one of conservation’s breeding programs.

The project is set to bring in completely new blood lines to improve genetic diversity for managed populations and help fight against extinction.

As part of Wildlife World’s dedication to rhino conservation, the zoo has been consulting, researching and planning its innovative breeding program as part of the completed rhino facility that opened in early 2018.

“It’s immensely rewarding to know that Wildlife World had the resources and capabilities to import our female rhinos from Africa where they are no

longer at risk of being slaughtered by poachers and provide them and Maoto a natural environment to procreate,” said Kristy Morcom, Wildlife World’s director of media relations.

“This breeding program has been nearly a decade in the making, and it feels great to know that everyone’s hard work has finally paid off. We are all so excited to be entering the next phase, which is welcoming baby rhinos that will become the front-runners in saving their species.”

During the past 35 years, Wildlife World has supplied in-kind support, staff expertise, and tens of thousands of dollars to local, national and international organizations dedicated to the survival of the world’s most endangered species and to rhino conservation efforts.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MARCH 31, 2021

The entire rhino population is at risk. At the start of the 20th century, 500,000 rhinos roamed the wild. By 1970, the worldwide population fell to 70,000. Today, 29,000 rhinos survive in the wild.

With the species’ survival at stake, select rhino populations are being protected by armed guards instructed to “shoot on site” as a last-ditch effort to preserve the iconic creatures. In South Africa alone, poachers kill three or more rhinos per day to meet the black-market demand for rhino horn, which is falsely believed to be an aphrodisiac in some Asian cultures.

All five living rhino species (black, white, greater one-horned, Sumatran and Javan) are in peril from poaching, forest loss and human settlements encroaching on their habitats in Africa, Indonesia and India. Rhinos live in small, isolated populations that often cannot get together to breed.

In 2011, the western black rhino, a subspecies of the black rhino, was declared extinct due to poaching. The burgeoning middle classes in China and Vietnam are increasingly able to afford rhino horn. This demand drives record poaching rates. Even in light of their fading population, poachers break into rhino orphanages and sanctuaries, and are even starting to target zoos to slaughter these animals for their ivory, which is made of keratin — the same protein that makes up hair and fingernails.

“It’s my hope that through education, awareness and our new breading program, we can work together in the fight for the rhino’s survival — to guar-

antee a viable genetic population and ensure that no more rhino species go extinct,” said Mickey Ollson, director and founder of Wildlife World.

“If the persecution of this species continues, we will likely see the rhino go extinct from the wild within our lifetime.”

With more than 600 species and 6,000 animals on display, there are always new arrivals at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park. Other babies on display include a baby giraffe, baby tapir, a litter of black-backed jackals, endangered addax and Arabian oryx, and other youngsters throughout the 100-acre park.

Wildlife World’s keepers and veterinarians have raised dozens of species of wild and endangered animals over the past several decades. Wildlife World strives to maximize genetic diversity in the zoological population with its breeding programs. As a USDA-licensed, private institution, accredited by the Zoological Association of America and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums, Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park does not receive taxpayer funding.

No tax dollars have ever been spent to build or operate Wildlife World in its 36-year history.

Avondale launches ‘Dial-a-Story’ program

T

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

he Avondale Public Library has launched Dial-a-Story, a new storytime service that will offer everyone access to a free, weekly recorded storytime, featuring expert children’s librarians, special guests or specialty programming by phone. No apps or internet needed. Recordings will be released every week.

Dial 623-400-6321 to access a kids Dial-a-Story phone line.

Dial 623-400-7885 to access the senior storyline, featuring Golden Age Radio.

Each storytime will run between 5 and 15 minutes. The books used each week for the kids Dial-a-Story will be selected from traditional stories, fairytales and recordings from live storytimes.

The featured English children’s story for the first week of April will be “The Monkey Who Loved Chocolate.” The featured Spanish children’s story for the first week of April will be “Juanito y los frijoles mágicos.” The original 1935 Flash Gordon Radio Show will be featured on the senior storyline, with new episodes Monday to Friday all of April.

“We are living through an exceptional time, and we feel a great responsibility to find new ways to reach more people who can benefit from the library’s programs,” said TerryAnn Lawler, library manager. “We appreciate the CARES Act funding awarded to make this pilot program possible.”

Dial-a-Story is the latest way the library is supporting patrons during the

unprecedented challenges of a global pandemic, including those who do not have access to the internet.

This program was funded by the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, a division of the secretary of state, as part of CARES Act funding, made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

CARES Act funding from IMLS is intended to help “prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus, including to expand digital network access, purchase internet accessible devices, and provide technical support services.”
