Nurses fly into COVID-19 storm

With COVID-19 cases rising in Maricopa County, but at a moderate rate, five nurses from Abrazo Central Hospital volunteered to fly into the teeth of the coronavirus storm.

Avondale’s Caryn Huffman, Pat Keilman of Glendale and three other Abrazo nurses flew to Detroit on April 7.

“They will temporarily fill needs at Detroit Medical Center hospitals, owned by Abrazo Central’s parent company, Tenet Healthcare,” said Keith Jones, an Abrazo spokesman.

Michigan became a “hotspot,” with COVID-19 deaths in the state rising from 479 to 1,282 in a week—with 79% of the total cases and 85% of the deaths in Detroit, according to The Detroit News.

Huffman, Keilman and the other Abrazo nurses will help care for the hundreds hospitalized with the coronavirus.

“The employees and the community are so thankful,” Huffman emailed to her cowork-

ers back in Phoenix. “Others are offering their services for anything we might need while we are here.”

The five nurses work in the operating rooms at Abrazo Central. They became available when volume slowed after Gov. Doug Ducey’s executive order banning elective surgery. They will temporarily fill needs at Detroit Medical Center hospitals, owned by Abrazo Central’s parent company, Tenet Healthcare.

The Church of Litchfield Park held Good Friday and Easter services—online, via Facebook.

Congregations across Arizona have been physically separated as churches

participate in social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Church of Litchfield Park and other places of worship in the West Valley have turned to social media to keep their congregations together, implementing new practices to continue their services and classes.

The church’s website also has videos, filmed in a nearly empty church— save for the pastors and organist.

Similarly, Christ Prysbyterian Church of Goodyear has gone online, including Easter services.

“You can join us for our pre-recorded worship service every Sunday at 9 a.m. (watch from our YouTube Channel or Facebook page). You can also join us for online daily prayer led by our pastors and weekly adult classes at our Facebook page,” says the church’s website, cpcgoodyear.org.

Daily prayer is at 9:30 a.m. at facebook.com/CPCGoodyear.

The Desert Springs Community Church in Goodyear also has online services, daily and Sundays at desertspringschurch.online.church.

Robby Lashua, a Desert Springs pastor, emphasized the importance of social distancing. According to Lashua, the church is taking extensive measures for the few instances that someone needs to enter the church.

“Everyone needs to sign in and out, and we keep a log of every room the person enters so we can trace it back to them if anyone gets sick,” Lashua said.

Visitors’ temperatures are taken before entering the church to make sure they don’t have a fever, and they are required to wear gloves for as long as they’re in the building.

“Right now, the best way we can love our neighbor is to keep them safe by distancing.”

And although the transition to online has been smooth, Lashua said some members of his congregation do not have internet access or are not willing to learn how to use services like Zoom.

“We thought about creating a video tutorial on how to access the material,

but that would be like a video about how to view videos,” he joked.

At the Chabad of the West Valley synagogue in Glendale, Rabbi Sholom Lew said in-person services were stopped before Gov. Doug Ducey set social-distancing rules for businesses with large gatherings.

Instead of gathering together, Chabad of the West Valley has prepared kits for its members to pick up so everyone can have one for Passover, which started April 8 and ends the evening of Thursday, April 16.

This week of Passover for the church will be much different, as Jewish Law, according to Lew, states that they cannot use technology unless it’s an emergency.

“People still crave the human touch and the human interaction … but we have this technology that allows us to see and to be seen and allows people to feel they are interconnected and not alone,” Lew said.

Chabad of the West Valley’s website, ichabad.org, has links on “Everything you need to celebrate Passover during coronavirus.”

At the Temple Beth Shalom of the West Valley in Sun City, Andre Ivory, the program and education director, said the transition for online worship has gone smoothly but still faces challenges.

The Temple Beth Shalom of the West Valley has many seniors in its congregation; many of them aren’t familiar with services like Zoom. This poses a challenge for the staff at the synagogue.

“We’re asking them to do something completely different from what they’re used to. We’ve had to slow down a little bit and make sure we’re teaching the technology,” Ivory said.

According to Ivory, almost all of the programming at the church has moved to Zoom or YouTube. Links are available at tbsaz.org.

West Valley city councils move online

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

City councils around the West Valley continue to move to online meetings, with the public temporarily not allowed to attend council meetings in person. Cities cite state and federal guidance to not have gatherings of 10 or more people.

The Goodyear City Council was scheduled to have its second online-only meeting April 13.

According to the agenda, “Members of the public may participate in the following ways: Submit questions and comments for the mayor and council at the meeting (Send an email to publiccomments@ goodyearaz.gov, include the agenda item number; include your contact information; include if you are a Goodyear resident).”

Meetings can be viewed live or archived at facebook.com/goodyearazgov, goodyear.legistar.com/calendar.aspx or goodyearaz.gov/youtube.

At the April 13 meeting, Julie Arendall, the city manager, was scheduled to give an update on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Other agenda items included the final plat of Sedella, 237 homes on the west side of Citrus Road south of Camelback Road and a “a delay in the completion of the offsite roadway infrastructure requirement for the PHX 70 site”—145 acres south of Indian School Road and east of Citrus Road.

Avondale City Council held its second online meeting April 6. The members of council participated via Zoom “Unscheduled public appearances will not be permitted at this meeting as city council will be participating either online or through a telephone conference call,” the agenda noted. “Members of the public may listen to the discussions by joining the meeting online at avondaleaz.zoom.us/j/3083557784. Anyone wishing to address the Council regarding the public hearing item listed on the agenda should email their comments to CityClerk@AvondaleAZ.gov prior to consideration of that agenda item.”

Council approved a new Emergency Operations Plan for the city of Avondale and “authorized the Emergency Management Team to make changes when necessary and appropriate.”

The city also announced it would take applications starting April 9 through May 7 for $110,000 in community assis-

tance programs.

In a presentation on the city’s response to COVID-19, Lawrence Rooney, assistant chief of Avondale Fire-Medical, noted first responders have their temperatures checked at the beginning and end of shifts. He said the department has enough personal protective equipment.

There were no public comments at the Avondale City Council meeting.

After canceling its March 17 meeting, Buckeye City Council had a meeting scheduled for April 7. “Buckeye City Council meetings and Planning and Zoning Commission meetings will be streamed on the city’s YouTube channel until further notice,” states the city’s website.

“Since City Council Chambers are currently closed to the public to protect everyone’s health and safety, public comments for any agenda item can be done by email or phone.

“Email comments to cityclerk@buckeyeaz.gov for Buckeye City Council meetings or planningandzoning@buckeyeaz. gov for Planning and Zoning Commission meetings. Comments must be re-

ceived 3 p.m. on the day of the meeting to be included in the official meeting record.

Dairies forced to dump excess milk NEWS

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | APRIL 15, 2020

BY SARA EDWARDS

West Valley View Staff Writer

As a dairy farmer, there’s nothing Bill Kerr loves more than seeing a kid drink a glass of milk.

But lately, his stomach goes sour as he watches his workers do what once was unthinkable and now is routine: dumping milk.

“We’re dumping milk right now that has no home,” he said. “Those milk trucks that you see on the road?

“We’re dumping 20 of those a day.”

Kerr is not the only one. Fellow West Valley dairy farmers Jen Millican of Stotz Dairy in Buckeye and Paul Rovey of Rovey Dairy in Glendale are also dumping milk.

The past few weeks have been especially painful for the dairy farms as restaurants and schools are closing to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. These closures created a problem of too much milk being produced with not enough places to send it to, causing farmers to dump the milk they can’t store.

Kerr, owner of Kerr Family Dairy in Buckeye, said stores in the West Valley

have been limiting the number of gallons of milk consumers could buy.

“There’s no shortage of milk,” he said.

Millican is a manager at Stotz Dairy, a farm that was started in 1981 and has 22,000 cows.

Millican said the milk produced is distributed in two ways. Normally, 50% of milk production goes off to bottlers and manufacturers to be processed for businesses like restaurants or school cafeterias while the other 50% is produced for household consumption.

When news of the pandemic and stayat-home orders started to roll out, Millican said the restaurant portion of business was hit hard.

The cooperative United Dairymen of Arizona created the Milk Crisis Plan that would provide assistance to dairy farmers nationwide. This plan would allow dairy products to be purchased for food banks and have a forgivable loan program to help the farmers.

In a letter from the United Dairymen of Arizona to the USDA urging them to support the plan, Craig Caballero said this is the biggest dairy market crash the industry has seen in 60 years, and without this support, many third- and fourth-generation farms will not make it through the next 90 days.

“To date, our farm families have poured over 9 million pounds of excess raw milk and over 1 million pounds of cream down the drain,” Caballero said in his letter.

“USDA plays the most significant role in our industry’s

efforts to offset the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, diminishing markets, and the greatest losses we have ever seen in UDA’s history.”

Feeding America has partnered with dairy farms to bring milk to food banks across the country through The Great American Milk Drive to also provide some help for the dairy farmers.

Kerr said milk is the most-requested item by food banks for families, but it’s the hardest to donate and keep because it’s a perishable item.

But the Great American Milk Drive, through the partnership with dairy farmers, has provided more than 31 million milk servings to those in need since 2014.

Paul Rovey of Rovey Dairy in Glendale said consumers can use the links giveagallon.com or milklife.com/give to purchase gallons of milk and give it to the needy through the food banks.

“Even when this clears up, people can still continue to give to the Great American Milk Drive and help the dairy farm-

ers,” he said. “This isn’t something they need to do only in these stressful times.

“If anyone wants to help the dairy farmers, buy more milk, eat more cheese and donate to the Great American Milk Drive,” Rovey said. “You’re helping the dairy farmer, you’re helping yourself and you’re helping the needy.”

Millican said prior to the pandemic, the dairy farm had no issue with finding a place for all the milk produced. For the milk that didn’t go to the restaurants or grocery stores, it was dried into powder and shipped out of Arizona to other countries like Mexico. But after the borders became closed off, Millican had no other choice but to start dumping excess supplies of milk.

“It’s awful. I hate seeing dumped milk,” Millican said. “I know the governor of Arizona and the Arizona Dairy Council are doing their best to open them back up, but in the meantime, we can’t just turn the cows off. They don’t work like that.”

Tolleson Fire Department taking COVID-19 precautions

BY ALEXANDRA MORA MEDINA West Valley View Contributing Writer

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Tolleson Fire Department is taking precautions to ensure the safety of the residents—and staff.

“This is a situation that no one really in the country foresaw, and so we’re all kind of trying to get used to a new normal,” Tolleson Fire Chief George Good said.

The fire department has taken extra precautions such as wearing masks and gloves when going on assignments, he added. They also practice social distancing at the station.

“We are people who are used to being around others who are HIV positive, who have tuberculosis, hepatitis or some other types of infectious disease,” Good said.

“But this is a whole different thing for us because this is so much more contagious than the flu.”

Good gave an example of if a crew went on a call for an injury where some-

one has fallen. Normally the entire team would go into the home or designated area to the patient to provide care. Now, extra precautions were taken, with fewer staff entering the home.

“We have to make sure the people that might have the same injury aren’t going to sneeze on us,” Good said. “We have to realize that some of these people are asymptomatic (with COVID-19). We have to guard against that.”

Good said the fire department has gone on assignments where they later learned of some patients who tested positive for COVID-19. There was a recent scare where they believed one of their firefighters might have had the virus, Good said. But the firefighter tested negative for COVID-19.

The city of Tolleson only has one fire station, and if someone were to have the virus it would “devastate” the whole department, Good said.

“We’ve been lucky that we haven’t had anybody tested positive for it,” Good said. “But it could happen at any

point and we have to be aware and proceed accordingly.”

He said the department does have a sufficient amount of personal protection equipment.

Good said the number of emergency calls has remained the same during the pandemic, which has taken an emo-

tional toll on these first responders.

“It’s a tough time for our firefighters because they are worried about their families at home,” Good said. “Now we have this added burden on us, this mental burden which is where we want to make sure our families at home are OK.”

His summary of the coronavirus: “This one is nasty.”

In a typical case, he said, a carrier of the disease, whether showing any symptoms or not, can infect two or three other people. This makes social distancing— and only leaving their homes when essentia—necessary to halt its spread.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., was on the line live and added a warning.

“We know this hasn’t been easy and it’s not going to get easier in the next couple weeks,” Sinema said.

According to AARP communications director Alex Juarez, over 10,000 people attended the town hall. During the hourlong event, 10 seniors asked questions.

Will Humble, the executive director of Arizona Public Health Association, noted that one of the shortcomings of the entire pandemic is sufficient testing capacity.

However, he expressed hope that tests are going to become more available and less restrictive on who can receive testing.

In March, Congress approved funding for more testing, but the continued shortage of tests means, according to

Humble, that anyone wanting a test should first contact their regular doctor.

Symptoms of the virus include a dry cough, fever of 100 degrees or above, and a general run-down feeling.

As for “miracle cures,” the advice from the participants was to be wary of anything not prescribed by a doctor or a hospital.

“I suggest that Arizonans listen to our doctors, our government scientists and our specialists,” Sinema said. “We should only accept information that is verified and accurate.”

According to Sinema, limiting information consumed to trusted official sources is the best way to stay safe, healthy and calm. She said she trusts the administration’s health experts, Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx, for accurate information.

“There are currently no cures or vaccines for coronavirus and no one should be taking any medication that you haven’t discussed with your doctor,” Sinema said. “When there are approved treatments and vaccines, you will hear it from legitimate sources.”

According to a new map that shows COVID-19 cases by ZIP code, as of April 13 there were at least 125 positive tests in Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Tolleson combined.

The map includes some ZIP codes that are in two or more cities. And, in some cases, a range of cases was given.

The Arizona Department of Health Services released the map April 12, then updated it the next day.

There is a significant caveat: “If a patient’s address of residence is unknown cases were mapped to the address of the provider followed by the address of the reporting facility,” the ZIP code

COVID-19 map notes.

Data from the map shows Peoria-Glendale ZIP code 85382 with 69 positive cases — most in state, slightly ahead of 85714 in Tucson, which had 64 cases.

There are six assisted living facilities in 85382.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

MARGULIES’ OPINION — jimmymargulies.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Successful rally, indeed Editor: Trump’s rally was indeed a success as all his others have been. Reading though the letter from John Flynn on March 25 stirred my response. Most of it was typical liberal junk, but the last paragraph was the real winner. He’s down to two choices to fulfill his “person of better moral character, more intelligence and more supportive of American values and traditions than our current president.” An old avowed socialist and an old guy who doesn’t know where he is or what he stands for. Good luck with those two choices.

Tom MacKenzie Goodyear

A chance to change the game

Editor: We are in an unprecedented and unique time in the world’s history, and certainly sports injuries are not top of mind. Yet, there is a worthwhile discussion to be had and a new perspective to be gained as we are all sidelined in a time of crisis. As a pediatric sports medicine physician, there are countless visits filled with tears over missed seasons, playing time or even practice, for that matter. Well, how will things turn out for the youth sports machine after an essentially complete shutdown?

Youth sports will return, and my sense is that both physicians and ath-

letes will be enlightened. We will realize that even when workouts are postponed, championships are canceled or an entire season is lost, the athlete will endure. We will understand that athletes can still be elite and scholarships can still be earned in the absence of relentless pursuit of perfection.

The present crisis and stay-at-home orders have forced our young athletes to rest, and the result will be illuminative.

If sports return this spring, track athletes will still put up blazing times and rested pitchers will be throwing with remarkable velocity and accuracy. Competitive cheer routines will still be remarkably precise. Athletes will soon realize that this unsolicited rest hasn’t eroded their skill; it has allowed it to flourish while being rested and rejuvenated.

We must realize the moment we have before us. A moment where we can convincingly show everyone with interest in youth sports that a simple respite is more valuable than we might imagine. An awakening that young athletes can rest without irreparable harm to their athletic career. The only question that remains is will we take advantage of this chance to protect our athletes or will we quickly forget once all returns back to normal?

Dr. Randon Hall Goodyear

Essential or not?

Editor: Gov. Ducey, thank you for redefining “essential businesses.” We all want to feel happy and good about ourselves, but sometimes we have to think of the bigger picture, and not just of ourselves. We can actually do our own nails. So what if our hair gets longer?

Do you really need that tattoo now?

Does that tan really matter? We are talking maybe two months if everyone just follows the rules of social distance/ interactions. We need to sacrifice today

so we can have a tomorrow.

Split squad

Editor: The April 1 edition of West Valley View has a letter from Ken Williams, supposedly pleading to put “united” back into United States. But as he continues, he sorts us into two groups: pro-leftist and pro-American. Huh? I’m a retired Army officer and have always considered myself definitely pro-American. Based on Williams’ view, however, I must be “pro-leftist,” as I am a liberal-leaning moderate on both the fiscal and political spectrums.

Also, based on Williams’ opening statement in his letter, “Another great American leader, President Abraham

Lincoln…” It doesn’t take a Rhodes scholar to interpret that lede as a decided Trump admirer. Putting Trump in Lincoln’s class is an aberration.

PebbleCreek problem?

Fred Raymond Goodyear

Editor: I wonder if anyone has ever mentioned an age discrimination issue in PebbleCreek? Two weeks ago, I moved into the community and have never felt more unwelcomed. Let me be honest—I am 18 years younger than the 55-year-old (and up) senior citizens around me. It’s sad to me that such a community could be so exclusive of someone who pays her bills, serves the community as a science educator and smiles with a wave at everyone she passes. My return encounters include being scolded for driving 21 mph in a 25 mph zone and aggressively screamed at for walking in an area that I’m not supposed to be walking in.

Who knew? There were no signs up.

If this is what getting old is about, I

OPINION

Medicare and COVID-19: What is covered?

10

BY SEEMA VERMA

Administrator, U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Because older Americans are particularly vulnerable to coronavirus (COVID-19), I wanted to let you know the steps we’re taking to help our Medicare beneficiaries cope with the pandemic.

We’re warning Medicare beneficiaries that scammers may try to use this emergency to steal their Medicare number, banking information or other personal data.

Unfortunately, scammers come out of the woodwork during times of uncertainty and change. So make sure you give your Medicare number only to your doctor, pharmacist, hospital, health insurer or other trusted health care provider.

If someone calls you on the phone, says they’re from Medicare and asks for your Medicare number or other personal information, just hang up.

Remember: Medicare never calls its beneficiaries to ask for or to “verify” Medicare numbers.

hope these people do stay isolated in PebbleCreek and leave the rest of the city of Goodyear alone. We don’t deserve their negativity at a time when the world is facing so many more problems.

Might someone stop and think that a renter in their community means one more house won’t be foreclosed upon?

Or maybe that someone a little younger could genuinely be an asset, instead of a burden, to the community?

My heart goes out to the people of PebbleCreek, as they certainly need something better to do with their time and could use their talents enforcing rules in a place where they don’t prey on those under 40.

vices via phone and video chat. Medicare beneficiaries can receive telehealth services in their home as well as in any health care facility, including a physician’s office, hospital, nursing home or rural health clinic.

Telehealth services include routine office visits, mental health counseling and preventive health screenings for cancer and other illnesses.

By helping health care institutions across the nation offer services remotely, telehealth can free up hospital emergency departments and doctors’ offices to deal with the most urgent COVID-19 cases. For example, you can talk with a doctor about your diabetes management or prescription refill without having to go to his or her office.

During this emergency, Medicare will pay for telehealth services at the same rates as in-person services, giving doctors and other clinicians an incentive to use this alternative and reserve their offices to treat those who truly require in-person care.

We know many Medicare beneficiaries are concerned about the spread of coronavirus and the threat it poses to their well-being. That’s why we’ve taken these rapid steps to ensure that the Medicare program continues to protect our beneficiaries while maintaining trusted access to care in these uncertain times.

“We are no longer taking custom-cake/ dessert inquiries until further notice,” said Zach Crotty, manager and part owner. But Abbie Cakes is still open for “daily freshbaked goods and coffee.

“Staffing hasn’t changed, nor do we hope or anticipate it to change. With the steadiness of the shop, we’re able to remain fully staffed,” Crotty said.

Many Goodyear, Avondale, Buckeye, Litchfield Park and Tolleson restaurants are continuing to feed the community by offering delivery, curbside pickup, takeout and some generous specials.

Nonetheless, it has not been easy for local restaurants.

“I have had to lay off almost 700 people,” said Louis Basile, founder and owner of Wildflower Bread Company, which has 16 locations. “It’s one of the most painful things we’ve ever done.”

Basile said some of the people he had to let go have been working with him since his first restaurant opened 24 years ago.

Sales are down for nearly all local restaurants, including Zeta’s Grill in Avondale.

Sales have dropped to nearly half of what they were before the COVID-19 pandemic, said Amin Sadeck, owner of Zeta’s Grill.

“We probably would have closed,” Sadeck said. “But we need to keep the community happy and do whatever we can to serve their needs.”

Restaurants throughout Avondale and Goodyear are offering discounts on delivery and limited time specials to support the community during these trying times.

The good, the bad and what’s next for local businesses

BY JOHN SAFIN Guest Writer

Thank you from myself and the staff at the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. We’re grateful you and our community adjusted to the most unusual world-changing event in our lifetime. It hasn’t been easy.

Each of us had to make unexpected changes, discover new ways to get things done and make the best of an unknown situation. We learned to rely on texting, email, phone calls and video chat more than ever. At the same time, so many of us proved we are the heart of the community. We didn’t sing like the Italians, but we looked out for each other, shared with others, supported our favorite local businesses the best we could and (most importantly) stayed as upbeat as possible.

I and a lot of other people said to stay positive. I realize it’s difficult to have a positive outlook when you’re out of a job, low on supplies, have your routine and lifestyle disrupted, concerned about money to pay bills while a very

contagious virus could get you without warning. A positive attitude is a way to show hope and push away worry. Worry is the slippery slope that leads to despair, and despair can be crippling. As proof, look online for many inspiring stories of people doing good and great things. Many good things are happening in your neighborhood and our community.

Hundreds of business and organizations are still doing something to serve the community. Many of the charities and nonprofit groups continue operations. Yes, they need help now more than ever. Big and small businesses are doing something, whether it’s making supplies available or providing other support for the community.

You can find what’s open online southwestvalleychamber.org/supportlocal.

Thank you to everyone who submitted their information. Every business and nonprofit is encouraged to post their information for free on the Support Local hub. You’ll also find infor-

mation about the virus and relief programs at southwestvalleychamber.org/ covid19. Both webpages are frequently updated.

Sadly, there have been bad or questionable activities due to the virus situation. It’s despicable there are federal officials playing politics instead of making the people the priority. The virus stimulus package doesn’t need $35 million going to the Kennedy Arts Center in Washington, D.C., and that’s just one example.

National news adds some political twists to create controversy because they want to sell advertising. As much as birth rates are expected to rise later this year, divorce numbers have already seen an increase. Each person reacts differently to living in close quarters or isolation. Domestic violence and suicide rates might also rise. Stay positive! There’s always more good than bad in the world.

So, what’s next? All of us are learning as we go, including people at all government levels. This is the

JOHN SAFIN

most unusual world-changing event in our lifetime, remember? All I can say is continue looking out for each other. Our best asset is each other, and that’s how we’re going to get through this. Stay safe, stay healthy and let’s make it a great day in the Southwest Valley.

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

Thank You

to everyone working, helping out, and doing their best for our community as we get through this together!

Mavericks delay golf tournament, tee up meals for kids

BY BRIAN CANO SR.

West Valley View Contributing Writer

The West Valley Mavericks have delayed their annual golf tournament, scheduled for April 24.

But the group is teeing off on programs to help feed the community during the COVID-19 crisis.

The Mavericks partnered with Saddle Mountain Brewing Company in Goodyear and Peter Mahoney, owner of Old Pueblo Café, Papa Paul’s Brick Oven Pizza and Pasta in Litchfield Park to provide community support.

Mavericks President Jason R. Khan said the partnership provided 300 free boxed lunches for children on April 13.

Additionally, the group will provide 1,200 meals for front-line medical

workers.

Khan said Mahoney’s Papa Paul’s Brick Oven Pizza and Pasta will prepare 600 lunches and Old Pueblo Café will make 600 dinners for more than 1,000 Banner Medical Center employees.

“This is our way supporting those that support us throughout the year as well as those on the front line fighting the pandemic,” Khan said.

The group assists vulnerable West Valley residents through its grants, which Khan said will continue during the pandemic as funds allow.

“The Maverick Golf Tournament historically has been our biggest fundraiser,” Khan said.

Since 2013, Mavericks members have raised over $1 million through in-

dividual contributions, business sponsorships and events, including the annual charity golf tournament.

“Our grants help those currently without work and everyday supplies,” as well as children who need food assistance,” Khan said.

Among the regular recipients are the Avondale Elementary School District’s after-school programs, including child nutrition. The program has been credited with boosting the district’s overall rating among Arizona schools.

Read Better Be Better is a nonprofit after-school program for third graders that focuses on reading comprehension skills and overall learning abilities. The program relies on contributions of the Mavericks and other

Mahoney Law Office, PLLC • Trusts • Wills • Estate Planning • Asset Protection • ALTCS/Medicaid Planning

sponsors.

Molly Smithwick, fundraising coordinator for the reading program, said the Mavericks grants have consistently “reinforced our sustainability and allowed the program to grow.”

The Mavericks’ website provides instructions on how to become a financial sponsor or contributor.

“We had over 90 grant applications returned to our organization this year,” said Mavericks Executive Director Neil A. Schneider. “There are many nonprofits in the West Valley.

“Each one has a unique story to tell, and we would like to help each of them.”

SUDOKU TIME

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

EVEN EXCHANGE

by Donna Pettman

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK H H H

H Moderate HH Challenging HHH HOO BOY!

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

SCRAMBLERS Unscramble the letters within each rectangle to form four ordinary words.

Then rearrange the boxed letters to form the mystery word, which will complete the gag!

Saddle Mountain awarded Certificate of Excellence

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The Association of School Business Officials International (ASBO) has awarded Saddle Mountain Unified School District No. 90 the Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for the fiscal year 2019.

The award recognizes the district for

meeting high standards of excellences in financial reporting and transparency.

Last year, the district was also awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States.

“We are always proud of the great

work our team has accomplished and pleased to now have received two awards in recognition of these on-going efforts. Saddle Mountain Unified School District has worked diligently to improve its operations and financial reporting over the years. We continue to strive to ensure our community and

taxpayers that their dollars are well managed,” SMUSD Superintendent Dr. Paul Tighe said.

The district CAFR was submitted to ASBO for review by a team of financial professionals that provide feedback on the financial documents. For more information about ASBO, visit asbointl.org.

California before it branched out to Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

“It’s a social organization,” Juarez said. “The one thing we have in common is we play golf. We represent every ethnic group you can think of. We have about 110 members in the Valley and another 50 in Tucson. There are several hundred in Texas and California.”

Each club is run differently. The Mexican American Golf Association received its nonprofit status and helps food banks and people in need, along with offering scholarships.

“In the last few years, we’ve pushed our

scholarship initiative,” Juarez said. “We’ve been much more active in the community directly. In the last five years, we’ve made the fund healthy again. The first couple years, we were able to give $10,000, but we’re back down to $8,000 this year. It’s available to any worthy student candidate.”

Juarez encouraged parents or grandparents to guide their grandchildren or children to the website to apply.

“We assume all the kids need some financial assistance,” Juarez said. “It’s not just about grades and community service.”

The scholarships are available to in-

coming college freshmen who have a minimum of 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. The students, who must be Arizona residents, must be enrolled full time in an accredited college or four-year university.

For students in college, the requirements are 3.5 GPA on a 4.0 scale; full-time enrollment in an accredited college or fouryear university; and a resident of Arizona.

Applications will be rated on academic achievement, essay, community service and extracurricular activities.

A top tip when talking with young children about any difficult situation is keep it simple and age appropriate.

For example, “We’re taking a break from playing with others so we can all stay healthy.”

The Birth to Five Helpline is a program of Southwest Human Development and is partially funded by First Things First. It is a free service available to all Arizona families and caregivers of young children.

The helpline’s early childhood experts are available by phone, text or email to answer any parenting questions, from basic health and nutrition to how to handle challenging behaviors and more.

Helpline specialists can also help you think about how to talk with children in

an appropriate way about what is going on in our world and all you are doing to keep them and their families safe.

Birth to Five Helpline specialists are available by phone/text at 877-705KIDS (5437) from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday.

With more kids at home, First Things First provides resources to help

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

First Things First, Arizona’s early childhood agency, is committed to providing parents and caregivers with information and resources to support families with young children as communities continue to be impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19).

As families spend more time at home, FTF suggests some resources that remind parents that everyday moments matter most when it comes to young children’s development. These include: • Helping your child learn through play: firstthingsfirst.org/resources/learnthroughplay.

• Boosting learning through active, outdoor play: firstthingsfirst.org/first-things/ active-outdoor-play-boosts-learning.
