The Voice of the West Valley for 36 years

Avondale Fire and Medical hires new division chief

BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

A

vondale Fire and Medical has hired Julie Smith as the new fire division chief, overseeing professional development and training.

Prior to joining Avondale on April 5, Smith worked for the Gila River Fire Department for 15 years, most recently serving in the role as captain and acting battalion chief.

“What really excites me right now is the personnel development part of the organization,” Smith said. “And honestly, the development and the growth of the organization is just something that I’m really looking forward to being a part of.”

During her time with Gila River, Smith earned her paramedic certification, served as lead recruit training officer and ran the EMS Supplies division.

Her credentials also include a bachelor’s degree in psychology, sociology and anthropology from New Mexico Highlands University.

“It’s a different perspective,” Smith said, referring to the transition from Gila River to Avondale. “But in terms of training and different things that I was doing in Gila River, I’m bringing that experience over here and basically bringing in a new, different perspective, but at the same time I’m learning a lot by how Avondale’s been doing things.”

As a woman in a field where females make up less than 10% of the U.S. fire service, Smith said she hopes her new role inspires other women and proves that persistence pays off.

“If it’s something that you truly care

Southwest Valley Chamber hires new president

BY LAUREN SERRATO

West Valley View Staff Writer

T

he Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors has named Jeffrey Campos as its new president and CEO, replacing John Safin, who led the organization for eight years.

“There are so many great opportunities out in the Southwest Valley here, and that’s what really excites me,” Campos said.

“It also excites me that I’m able to bring my experience and vision to the chamber.

And whether it’s in the community rela-

tions, the economic development or just really being a connector. Chamber’s responsibility is to really provide strategic planning, create a shared vision, and increase relationships through networking, which are all things that really excite me and I pride myself on doing.”

Campos joins the chamber after leaving a position as executive director for Global Chamber Denver & Chicago. His other experience includes adviser for Aspen Cap-

Jeffrey Campos will begin his job as the new Southwest Valley Chamber president and CEO on May 1.

Chief...continued from page 1 about, if you’re persistent and you keep training and you keep getting educated, you will climb that ladder and you will accomplish what you want to want to accomplish,” Smith said.

She added her greatest advice for women and all those hoping to join fire and medical service is to be eager to learn and ready to work.

“If there’s any education that’s being offered, any training that’s being offered, take it and learn from everybody.

Good, bad, indifferent, you just have to learn from everybody,” she said.

When she started the Avondale job, Smith said she was initially overwhelmed. She’s grateful for her colleagues for the smooth transition.

“Everybody has been absolutely welcoming, from the fire department to HR to everybody I’ve come in contact

with. Even people I still have not met have been absolutely just very welcoming,” she said.

Tony Corsi, director of Avondale Fire and Medical, said Smith’s impressive qualifications make her a great hire for the city.

“Through the recruitment process for this position, we were glad to find an extremely qualified person in Julie.

She is a great addition to the team, and we welcome her perspective as a leader in the department,” Corsi said.

Moving forward, Smith said she is looking forward to getting to know the Avondale community.

“I love to get to know people and I love to talk to people, and I’ll do my best to do everything I can to make Avondale a better place as far as whatever they need me to do in the office or out in the field or on calls. I’m very excited to be here,” Smith said.

At the Global Chamber, Campos supported the mission of cross-border trade and investment and accelerated global business growth for businesses.

During his transition into the Southwest Valley Chamber, Campos said he plans to use his 12 years of experience running a chamber to continue to grow and maintain its established reputation.

“I think that my global perspective and ideas will have businesses reach beyond their limits,” Campos said. “I want to create opportunities that are expanded. I’ve always been known as a connector and putting people together, and that’s what I want to create here in the Southwest Valley.”

In terms of the pandemic’s impact on businesses, Campos said he wants to continue to work on the growth and success of local businesses, despite the hardships coronavirus has caused them.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued what we call an “Explanation of Significant Differences,” or ESD, report for the Phoenix-Goodyear Airport Area Superfund site. Federal law requires such a report to be completed when significant—but not fundamental—changes are made to an approved Superfund cleanup plan. The site in question is found between Buckeye Road and Van Buren in the city of Goodyear, Ariz.

This ESD removes arsenic as a contaminant of concern for the site. Arsenic was removed because studies found arsenic in the area did not come from the site itself. Rather, the arsenic is naturally occurring.

There are no other changes to the cleanup plan.

$2.5M given to teacher mentoring programs

BY ALLISON BROWN

West Valley View Contributing Writer

S

uperintendent Kathy Hoffman and Arizona Department of Education gave $2.5 million to help support and mentor new teachers throughout the state, including Tolleson Elementary School District and Tolleson Union High School District.

This support comes from the Arizona K12 Center and its New Teacher Support Program.

This helps support new teachers by pairing them with mentors throughout their first three years of teaching. The goal is to increase teachers’ retention and effectiveness as an educator.

Hoffman said retention has been a long-standing issue for school districts, “not because we lack the talent but because too many exceptional teachers have burned out from overcrowded classrooms, noncompetitive pay and a lack of essential resources.”

On top of this issue, COVID-19 has completely changed the way schools function — and new and experienced

westvalleyview.com

teachers were left scrambling to find new methods of instruction and engagement. This struggle highlighted the need to provide support for new teachers even more.

Seeing how the past year has shaped education, the Arizona Department of Education took action to ensure a better environment for teachers and a more conducive learning experience for students.

“Some of the best investments we can make in solving our teacher shortage are in proven recruitment and retention strategies, like mentorship programs,” Hoffman said. “I’m pleased to partner with the Arizona K12 Center so it can expand capacity to more districts, including rural and remote districts.”

Studies have shown that teacher retention rates increase when they are met with collaboration and support. The Arizona K12 Center trains each of its mentors to do that. New teachers will receive support from a mentor who will be in the classroom

with them for at least two hours a week.

Part of NAU, the Arizona K12 Center is already involved in many other schools and districts throughout the state, according to the center’s executive director, Kathy Wiebke.

The $2.5 million in funding will help them expand their reach from seven districts to 22 schools, districts or departments.

“We are thrilled for this additional funding to expand the support we can provide for school districts throughout Arizona,” Wiebke said.

“This funding will more than double the impact of this program and allow us to reach some of Arizona’s most rural school districts. It is our vision that these new teachers will see themselves as effective and find the joy in teaching we all experienced.”

Funding to support the Arizona New Teacher Support Program comes from the Arizona Department of Education’s investment of federal relief and recovery dollars.

Parsons give $250K to HYC

BY JAKARIA ROSS

West Valley View Staff Writer

T

he nonprofit Homeless Youth Connection received a $250,000 grant from the Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation to help students who are experiencing homelessness.

Founded in 2010, the Avondale-based HYC works with young adults ages 13 to 21 at Maricopa County schools.

“This is such a tremendous gift,” said Dana Bailey, HYC’s chief operating officer.

“We truly are doing everything that we can, and having the funding support from the Bob and Renee Parsons Foundation is just such an integral part of what we do. We’re so grateful that they support this work and recognize how important it is to these kids to have an opportunity at a full and stable future.”

The foundation’s support helps the organization provide housing, basic needs, case management and educational support, according to Kayla McCullough, HYC program manager.

“The Parsons’ grant has a lot of different components to it,” McCullough said. “That grant is designed to help us expand so that we can serve more youth and serve at a deeper level to really be able to engage with our students, spend more time with them, and really get to know them and their unique needs.”

According to the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, as of January 2019, Arizona had an estimated 10,007 people experiencing homelessness per day, as reported by Continuums of Care to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Of that total, 587 were unaccompanied young adults between ages 18 and 24.

“That grant money also helps fund supplies for students, whether it be clothing, school supplies or hygiene items,” McCullough said. “It really makes sure that our students don’t have the anxiety of not knowing where their next meal is going to come from or not knowing if they’re going to have clean clothes to go to school.

We can take care of those things and give them that peace of mind.”

Many students lack support because of stereotypical stigmas of homeless youth.

“I think the greater generalized society sees homeless youth as kids who have run away because they don’t like

the rules at home,” McCullough said. “(Society thinks) they’re out committing crimes or using drugs and don’t want to be in school. That’s very much not the case. The majority of youth experiencing homelessness have things happen to them. Their only way of surviving is to leave the environment that they were in and try and figure it out on their own.”

McCullough outlined how folks can raise awareness of and advocate to contribute to the organization.

“I think the first thing is helping educate the community about that stigma and about who these youth are. Second, just keeping an eye out as the general community. These youth are what we call an ‘invisible population,’” McCullough said.

Bailey stated that when many teens reach 18 years old, their families feel they have met their expected financial contribution, resulting in homelessness immediately after high school.

Bailey said the “five Ds” are the reasons why students leave home.

“There’s what we refer to as the ‘five Ds,’ meaning divorce, death, disease, downsizing and drugs,” Bailey said. “One we’ve seen a lot in this last year is downsizing and employment because of the pandemic.”

According to Bailey, COVID-19 initially impacted the way HYC provided services to the youth because they were no longer attending school in person. HYC coaches frequently met teens at the schools.

“We adjusted to connecting in other ways, including Zoom, FaceTime, texting, contactless deliveries and social distancing meetings,” Bailey said. “We also reached out to the community for funding and donations to provide needed supplies for the students to do remote learning, including laptops and Wi-Fi hotspots as well as provide grocery gift cards, masks and hand sanitizer.”

Bailey said she hopes HYC will continue to impact the lives of youth who are experiencing homelessness.

“We want to provide them with the resources to live a successful and sustainable future and to have our community’s support in helping these young people,” Bailey said.

Homeless youths can contact Homeless Youth Connection by calling 623374-3747 or visiting hycaz.org.

PETA billboard ‘memorializes’ dead hens

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

P

days without food, water or rest.”

She said the public rarely thinks about animals locked behind closed doors, “out of sight, out of mind.”

“We want to make sure that they don’t just say, ‘Oh, that’s sad and go on about their day.’ We have the power to help them in many cases by not buying meat, dairy and eggs in the first place.”

PETA’s statement said hens used for egg production are confined to cramped barns, where each bird has no more than a square foot of space.

Few farms install smoke detectors or fire-suppression systems.

PETA notes that going vegan spares animals immense suffering and helps prevent future epidemics and pandemics. SARS, swine flu, bird flu and COVID-19 all stemmed from confining and killing animals for food.

ETA erected a billboard near the main office of Hickman’s Family Farms “in memory” of the more than 165,000 birds who were killed in March in a fire at a facility owned by the company.

The billboard, at MC 85 between South 223rd and South 221st avenues, urges anyone upset by the animals’ suffering to take personal responsibility by no longer buying eggs and by going vegan.

“We’re encouraging people who were feeling sympathetic to those birds to take a look at their own actions that are also making those birds suffer on a daily basis,” said Amber Canavan, PETA senior campaigner spokesperson.

Canavan said PETA watches out for incidents in the news involving animals on farms.

“That goes for fires and transport trucks,” Canavan explained.

“Transport trucks have fairly high incidents of crashes on the way to slaughterhouses, from facility to facility.

“There are least 100 a year. Many are not even reported or make it into the news. Those animals are crammed onto transport trucks, shoulder to PETA’s billboard is at MC 85 between South 223rd and South shoulder, in there for 221st avenues. (Photo by Janelle Hines)

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Governor should vote against SB 1448 Editor: While you were sleeping, our legislators passed a bill with far-reaching effects statewide. I’m referring to SB 1448, which strips away the rights of the people to file a nuisance lawsuit against huge agricultural operations.

I’m not talking about a frivolous lawsuit. I’m talking about your rights to file for damages because of the effects on your health, the inability to enjoy your property because of toxic air, obnoxious odors, manure runoff onto your property or contamination to your water supply.

There are right-to-farm laws to protect the farmers, but there are no right-toharm laws to protect the citizens.

This bill will severely restrict your financial ability to recover damages caused by huge animal operations, even if the nuisance is so severe that you must move from your home and find other comparable housing. You may be taking a financial loss that you could not afford!

A lawsuit could not even be filed unless the ag operation had already been criminally convicted by a state or federal agency. And it would severely limit the possibility of our local cities being able to declare a nuisance against an ag operation.

This bill went to the governor’s desk on April 7 for his yea or nay vote. Please call his office at 602-542-4331 and ask him to vote against SB 1448.

Vaccines do not ease writer’s stress

Editor: The pandemic has been challenging for many Arizonans, especially those with a pre-existing health condition. I suffer from an autoimmune deficiency, which means I’m at high risk for developing severe complications from the coronavirus.

I’ve been anxious for almost a year now, afraid that I would accidentally come into contact with the virus and it could decimate my immune system.

Luckily, the end to our global health crisis is near. Thanks to the hard work of pharmaceutical manufacturers, we now have three COVID-19 vaccines, with more in the pipeline. I am so relieved that soon we will all be fully protected from the virus and the fear of this pandemic could be behind us.

However, even with the vaccine, I still won’t be completely healthy. Sure, I’m young, but because there’s no cure for my autoimmune deficiency, I’ll be living

with this disease for the rest of my life.

To ensure that patients like me have a chance to lead full, healthy lives, we need elected officials to prioritize cures and treatments.

I work in local politics, because I believe in the power of government. Political leaders are meant to advocate for their constituents, and as a voter, I plan to continue to uplift our community’s voice to our representatives’ ears. They must keep supporting biopharmaceutical innovation at the forefront of this year’s legislative agenda, especially because their efforts are saving us all from a deadly virus.

Amber Rivera

Vaccines are safe and effective

Editor: On March 4, 1933, Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave his first inaugural address.

He said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself; nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror.” His comments are valid today.

The COVID-19 pandemic struck a year ago with devastating force around the world.

The only prevention was social distancing, masks and hand washing. In a medical success, vaccines were developed in an amazingly short time and are being administered in record numbers in the United States. The vaccines are safe and effective.

As rapidly, or more rapidly, than the vaccine development was the spread of conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and

blatant lies. The vaccines do not cause infertility and miscarriage. You cannot get COVID-19 from the vaccine. You will not get a microchip implanted in your arm when you get The Shot. Hank Aaron did not die from a reaction from The Shot. There are no safe and inexpensive off-the-shelf drugs that cure COVID-19.

You should not trust the disinformation being spread by Russia on the web.

I hope I’ve made my point without giving more examples of the conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and blatant lies populating the web.

There will be side effects. That is a known fact about any medicine or medical procedure. If aspirin was coming on the market today it would have a hard time being approved because of many side effects. When the benefit far outweighs the risk, go with the benefit.

My faith and hopes are restored by Suns WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | APRIL 21, 2021

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ West Valley View Columnist

Q

uick to hold a grudge yet molasses slow to forgive an enemy.

That will be my epitaph.

It also explains why I’m having a difficult time with the Phoenix Suns these days.

The Suns were a big reason I moved west in 1995. They had Charles Barkley, upon whom I had spent much of my grad school stipend buying cheap seats in Philly’s old Spectrum arena. If Phoenix was good enough for Chuck, hey, who was I to argue?

Two years after Suns fans had their hearts broken in the 1993 NBA Finals

by Michael Jordan’s Bulls, I moved to Phoenix armed with all manner of purple hats and regalia. Over the next 15 years, I watched, listened or attended the next thousand Suns games in a row.

True story: I so loved the 2007 Steve Nash-led Suns, I traveled to San Antonio for games three and four of that franchise-changing playoff series against the loathsome Spurs. I was in the stands when Robert Horry hip-checked Nash into the scorer’s table. The ensuing mayhem caused Amar’e Stoudemire and Boris Diaw to leave the bench — earning each a one-game suspension — and required me to be physically restrained from punching a Spurs fan in the postgame taxi line.

Not my finest moment as a human.

And the Suns losing to the Spurs remains my biggest heartbreak as a sports fanatic.

The Purple Gang never really recovered from that debacle. They won 55 games the next season but again lost to the Spurs in the playoffs. Coach Mike D’Antoni left; front-office bumbling began.

By 2010, owner Robert Sarver had parlayed the mythic “Seven Seconds or Less” squad into a sub-.500 bunch that wasted Nash’s prime. I shared season tickets with a buddy that year and seeing Sarver strut about so annoyed me.

I began to give my seats away — and skip watching games.

By 2012, I couldn’t have picked most Suns’ players out of a police lineup, a useful attribute when the team’s roster featured Marcus and Markieff Morris.

Then, a couple years ago, a strange thing happened: This franchise somehow found its way. Sarver slipped into the background, perhaps having realized that being a quiet disliked rich guy who owns a winning team is more profitable than being a loud disliked rich guy who owns a loser.

They drafted Devin Booker, who scores at will; inked world-class human Monty Williams as coach; and landed Deandre Ayton, a 6-foot-11 mountain with Shaq-esque potential.

This iteration of the Suns grabbed the NBA’s attention by going 8-0 in last year’s COVID-19 “bubble,” then traded for point guard Chris Paul, a sure Hall of Famer.

With the playoffs looming, Phoenix has the league’s second-best record. Few pundits are shouting “title contender,” but with LeBron James gimpy, anything is possible in this odd, pandemic-mired season. I find myself wanting to care about the Suns again, but wary, on guard, over-cautious.

Will Sarver bust out his old foam finger? Will Manu Ginobili, age 133 and fully bald, come out of retirement to join the Lakers, then flop the entire Suns team into foul trouble at a critical moment?

Or will the Suns end up in the finals against the Brooklyn Nets, who appear to have signed every All-Star in NBA history and are coached by — wait for it — Steve Nash?

Imagine that storyline: The prodigal son returns, accompanied by his assistant coach — wait for it again — Mike D’Antoni. Will they get their revenge on Sarver? Or will the unthinkable happen: Will the Phoenix Suns finally win an NBA title after zero championships in 53 seasons?

Finally, another Suns series I wouldn’t miss for the world.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | APRIL 21, 2021

BY JD HAYWORTH

West Valley View Columnist

ittle more than a month after he called Dec. 7, 1941, a “Day of Infamy” and led America into World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt paused from his duties as commander-in-chief to assume the mantle of “First Fan.” In a letter to Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis dated Jan. 15, 1942, FDR requested to “baseball keep going.” President Roosevelt believed it was important to stateside morale that our nation find respite from the rigors of wartime and that our “national pastime” could provide it.

Had a “woke” culture (as opposed to an awakened populace) existed in the early 1940s, there would have been plenty of complaints. Major League Baseball was a segregated sport (it would not integrate until after the war); there were no “workers’ rights” for players, because teams “owned” them contractually; and the quality of com-

petition suffered as the game’s young players volunteered for military service.

Despite rosters filled with older, younger and medically discharged players, baseball continued during the war years, and cemented its spot in the annals of Americana alongside hot dogs and apple pie — or so it seemed.

Now, almost 80 years after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a different president has called on Major League Baseball in a very different way, and MLB has answered the call by joining in a political attack on the state of Georgia, as well as an economic assault on the “majority minority” city of Atlanta.

History may record Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States, but he was batting leadoff when it came to bashing Georgia. Appearing on ESPN’s coverage of opening day, President Biden turned Major League Baseball into a “political football,” calling on MLB to move the All-Star Game out of the Peach State.

Hyperbole is an omnipresent reality

in American political speech, but Mr. Biden’s false charges plumbed new depths. He described the new Georgia election reform law as an “atrocity,” added that it was “Jim Crow on steroids,” and mistakenly claimed time and again that Georgia was closing the polls at 5 p.m. on Election Day. It was that final falsehood that drew the ire of no less a progressive publication than the Washington Post.

On March 30, the Post turned “fact checker” on the chief executive’s repetition of the falsehood. The newspaper correctly pointed out that polls in Georgia remain open until 7 p.m. on Election Day, and gave the president four “Pinocchios” for his deliberate use of disinformation. Yet “Geppetto” Biden continues to pull strings (or more accurately, yank chains) by continuing to make that false claim.

Unfortunately, other publications lend credence to the incredible. Because the new Georgia law requires voter ID, Politico frets that it “could potentially restrict voting access.” But shouldn’t voting access be limited to legal, registered voters who can confirm their identity?

With the White House using the “bully pulpit” to bully others, a compliant target was found in MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. No “Mighty Manfred” by any stretch of the imagination, the commissioner collapsed in the wake of the woke onslaught.

In his official statement of April 2, Commissioner Manfred fashioned a rhetorical spitball: “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values

as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game…”

While Rob Manfred got rolled, the Rockies were rewarded in the rush to relocate.

Yes, Virginia (or more appropriately, Georgia) … there is a Colorado, and that’s where this year’s Midsummer Classic will now be played.

If you’re scoring at home, let’s review what MLB is calling the best way to demonstrate values. The game was pulled from Atlanta, a city with a population that is 51% Black, and moved to Denver, with a 10% minority populace.

Moreover, the Atlanta area, historically known as a center of Black commerce, will lose an estimated $100 million. So much for “racial justice.”

Conversely, Colorado, a state with what NBC News describes as “expansive voting laws,” but more accurately identified as “ballot fraud friendly,” given its policy priorities of same-day voter registration and elections conducted primarily by mail, will prosper — at least in the short term.

The implications are clear. MLB has chosen to “play ball” with Biden and, in so doing, has chosen sides politically. It is an error of major league proportions.

Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. Congress from 1995 to 2007. His grandfather, Ray Hayworth, was a Major League catcher for 15 seasons.

Ceviche Town Owners: Felipe Alvarez and Victor Morales

In the wake of the pandemic last year, many people faced financial difficulties and uncertainties. Victor Morales was one of the many Americans who faced a job layoff due to COVID-19.

After not being able to find work, Morales and Felipe Alvarez teamed up to create Ceviche Town on May 9, 2020.

“There were no work opportunities available, but we had to figure something out as soon as possible,” Morales said. “Felipe’s specialty has always been seafood, so I gave him the idea that he should use that to his benefit.

He wasn’t too convinced, but after talking about it we decided to partner

ereal Killerz is a cereal and ice cream bar that makes childhood sugar cravings a reality, with milkshakes, cereal waffles or mixed bowls — all with a breakfast twist.

Equipped with more than 100 cereals from around the world, dairy and nondairy milk options, and multiple toppings, Cereal Killerz in Goodyear dares its customers to build the treat of their dreams.

“I got this idea, like a lot of people, 10 or 15 years ago, when I was a lot younger,” said Christopher Burns, the entrepreneur who created Cereal Killerz.

“I would pretty much eat Cinnamon Toast Crunch for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We thought it’d be cool if there was a cereal restaurant where you could go and just get a bunch of different cereals. I figured that cereal was The Strawberry Pop-Tart Shake features vanilla ice cream, strawberry syrup and Strawberry Pop-Tart cethe most popular breakfast item if real churned to “perfection.” Then, the staff topped there are whole aisles in grocery it with strawberries, whipped cream and extra Strawstores dedicated to cereal.

up and build Ceviche Town together.”

Ceviche Town offers seafood, including shrimp ceviche, green or red aguachile, and shrimp with crabmeat cocktail. Customers can choose from single-size orders, medium or large trays.

“We strive to serve the best seafood to our customers as well as build relationships along the way,” Morales said.

“We like to think that we are all one big family, and therefore, we treat every one of our customers as if they really were part of our family.

Customers can also order shrimp tacos on Sundays for curbside pickup. Additionally, just in time for summer, Ceviche Town will feature homemade Bolis frozen treats on its menu for a limited time.

All orders must be made at least 24 hours in advance, as each is freshly made. Orders are available for delivery or pickup, with the option of free delivery on Wednesdays and Saturdays in the West Valley.

Alvarez has made Ceviche Town his full-time job, and Morales does it part time, as he is a full-time middle school teacher at Palo Verde Elementary School.

With hopes of one day opening a food truck, Morales said when customers support Ceviche Town, they’re supporting a business’ dream.

“We are very thankful and blessed that we have the support from so many people in our community since day one and that Ceviche Town continues to expand throughout the Valley.

We thank God every day for this and for being by our side every step of the way,” Morales said.

One option includes 16 ounces of vanilla ice cream blended with strawberry syrup, Fruity Pebbles, an entire strawberry Pop-Tart and topped with a mound of whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and another Pop-Tart to top it off.

Then there’s a “cereal challenge.”

“It’s a 12-quart bowl that we fill up with all the cereals we offer, which is about 130 different types of cereals,” Weatherspoon said. “We fill the bowl with a little bit of each cereal and pour a gallon of milk in, and then you have an hour to finish it. It’s $35. If you finish it, you get your money back, we take your picture and put it on the wall, and we give you a free T-shirt.”

The challenge hasn’t been introduced at the Goodyear location, because it’s been so busy, but Weatherspoon said he hopes to do so in the next few months.

The COVID-19 pandemic has dampened everyone’s spirits, but Weatherspoon hopes the store provides a reprieve.

Inspired by LeBron James and his love for Fruity Pebbles and Taco Tuesday, Cereal Killerz uses its in-house Killerz Batter and shapes it into a thin, crunchy taco. The staff then coats it with white chocolate and Fruity Pebbles. Finally, the taco shell is filled with strawberry drilled ice cream and topped with whipped cream and Fruity Pebbles.

SUMMERCAMPPREVIEW April 2021

Friendly Pines to celebrate with camping kids

BY LILA BALTMAN

West Valley View Contributing Writer

I

n just a few short months, children will hopefully get to do what they were not able to do last summer because of COVID-19.

They will pack up sleeping bags, pillows, flashlights, and duffel bags filled, with their names labeled on everything; give mom and dad a hug goodbye; and then board a bus that will take them up to Friendly Pines Camp in Prescott.

Located in the cool pines of the beautiful Bradshaw Mountains, Friendly Pines Camp has become a favorite sleepaway camp tradition for thousands of families.

“We’re now seeing a fourth generation of campers,” said Kevin Nissen, the long-time co-director who has worked full time with the camp for 30 years.

“Many of our former campers, who are now the parents and even grandparents of current campers, tell us that they love that we’re still teaching the same, classic camp songs and square dances; still cooking Dutch oven biscuits over a campfire; and offering many of the same outdoor sports, activities and camp traditions that they remember doing.”

Founded in 1941 by Bud and Isabelle Brown and accredited through the American Camp Association, Friendly Pines Camp is Arizona’s longest-running family-owned summer camp. The founders’ great-granddaughter, Megan May, is the camp’s other co-director.

Designed for ages 6 to 14, this coed sleepaway camp offers more than 30 traditional camp activities, including horseback riding, swimming, waterskiing, ball sports, rock climbing, performing arts, fine arts, pet care, fencing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, dancing and sewing.

According to Nissen, “Sleepaway camp is the ideal training ground for developing resilience or grit. At sleepaway camp, boys and girls are encouraged to try new things like riding a horse, waterskiing, or scaling the climbing wall.

“Camp is also a place where children can discover their inner strength. They learn that maybe — for the first time — they can make their own way in the world. And isn’t that what we really want our kids to

know?”

Being “unplugged” and away from so much screen time is another big reason why parents choose to send their children to Friendly Pines for a couple of weeks every summer.

Nissen said he hears from more parents every year that they simply want their children to enjoy socializing and playing with other kids face to face, not on social media, and they want their kids to enjoy being outside in nature. Every afternoon during “siesta,” kids can be found reading and relaxing in the hammocks that swing between the trees.

This summer, Friendly Pines is scheduled to operate from May 29 to July 31. There are one-, two-, four- and sixweek sessions available. The camp’s COVID-19 safety protocols are on the camp’s website.

“We will continue to communicate with the state and county health departments and maintain our high level of communication with our camp families regarding changes in status for summer 2021,” Nissen said.

“We are currently enrolling for this summer and all families have until May 1 to cancel without any penalty, less a $100 administration fee.”

Parents should also know that while many of the camp’s activities and tradi- Friendly Pines Camp offers a wide range of traditional camp activities, like tions have remained the same over 80 swimming, waterskiing and country dancing.

Millennium’s Cardoza wins wrestling state championship

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

C

ourtney Cardoza recently made history by becoming the first Millennium High School state champion wrestler, as well as the only women’s grappler to take the top spot in the Agua Fria Union High School District. She can barely maintain her excitement.

“I cried,” Cardoza said. “I told my coach (Michael Bostwick) I wasn’t going to cry unless he cried. It was the first time I cried in sports. I was so excited. At first, I was in shock. He didn’t believe it as first. I put all this work into it.”

For her win, she received a medal that she hangs on her bedframe.

The state championship is no sur-

prise to the people around her, including Bostwick.

“The first thing is her drive,” Bostwick said. “Courtney has always had a state championship as her goals. Courtney is great with taking directions and instruction from myself and my assistant coaches. She truly works to get better every day.”

Cardoza said she worked out several times daily during the season. She headed to the gym early in the morning, attended practice in the afternoon, and returns to the gym later. She said her off-the-mat personality isn’t a reflection of her true self.

“I’m not an aggressive person at all,” she said. “I’m a totally different person when I’m off the mat. I’m very shy.

I’m very focused, and my mind just

stays on the mat. I try to keep my personalities different from mat time and personal time. I don’t want those two personalities to mix. I would like to be taken serious when I’m on the mat.

“I’m more of a physical person (on the mat), and I’m able to be aggressive in a way,” Cardoza said. “Being aggressive helps a lot. The adrenaline and the rushes that happen are great. It puts me in a good mindset. The feeling of the wins and the accomplishments tie it all together.”

Bostwick said Cardoza has improved under his and coach David Garcia’s tutelage.

“I have seen a vast improvement in her training and attitude toward becoming a better student and athlete over the past four years,” Bostwick said.

“She trains very hard through all types of adversity over the years.

Wrestling is the toughest sport around, and she never let issues slow her down from achieving her goals. She went from winning against boys as a freshman to being one of the toughest female wrestlers in the state.”

To say Bostwick is excited about her win is an understatement.

“We had been to the state championship before, and she was favored to win in other years and never won the big one,” Bostwick said.

“It was the best feeling in the world for Courtney, my coaching staff and myself to finally win that match that eluded us for years. It was one of the highlights of my career, because she became the first wrestling state champion in Millennium history and the first female state champion in Agua Fria Union School District history. It was amazing to be a part of for me and assistant coach David Garcia, who have been with her for all four years. It is always special to be a part of history.”

Next for Cardoza is studying and wrestling at Ottawa University.

“I just look forward to the future and pushing myself and seeing what I can accomplish in the future,” said Cardoza, the daughter of Servando and Veronica Cardoza.

“I have a lot of future wrestlers who are younger than me who want advice.

They just tell me I’m so good and they want to wrestle like me. I’m glad I can be an inspiration.”

Kids at Hope, Avondale hosting virtual event

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

K

ids at Hope and the city of Avondale Neighborhood & Family Service Department are hosting a virtual Advocating Hope certification academy from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 12, and Thursday, May 13.

They invite local school staff, teachers, faith-based leaders, youth leaders, business owners and residents to get involved in a series of training sessions, as part of Avondale’s commitment as a Kids at Hope City.

In September 2009, Avondale adopted a resolution, becoming the first Kids at Hope City in the country and striving to create an environment where all children experience success.

Since becoming a Kids at Hope City, Avondale has worked with school districts, the local Boys & Girls Club, faith-based groups and other organizations serving youth to celebrate and foster every child’s potential to succeed.

Research shows that children grow up more optimistic, successful and hopeful when they know that adults believe in them, are connected to caring adults and are able to talk about their future.

The training offers caring adults the experience necessary to acquire the training techniques and technical assistance skills they will need to launch and sustain the Kids at Hope initiative within their organization.

Registration link: https://asu.

zoom.us/j/87836259725 Pre-registration required by Monday, May 10. Space is limited; no cost to attend. Contact Donna Gardner, youth and community engagement manager, at 623-333-2723 or dgardner@avondaleaz.gov.

Kids at Hope is an initiative that empowers youth-serving organizations (schools, YMCAs, BGCs, parks and recreation departments, police and fire departments, etc.) and entire communities to create an environment where all children experience success, without exception.

City of Avondale was the first city to adopt the Kids at Hope philosophy, which is an internationally known initiative.

Midwestern University gives funds to students

BY TONY JOHNS

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

M

idwestern University will again earmark 100% of an estimated $2.8 million in Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF) apportioned to the university by recently passed federal legislation to support the nearly 7,000 health care professions students enrolled at its campuses in Downers Grove, Illinois and Glendale.

Under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, passed by Congress and signed into law on Dec. 27, qualifying educational institutions are required to spend at least the same dollar amount on student grants as determined in the CARES Act. This program has been designated the Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds II (HEERF II). The relief funds are to be disbursed to students in the form of cash grants

for any component of their cost of attendance and emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus.

The remaining funds may be used by the institution to offset additional costs related to COVID-19. However, Midwestern University’s administration has elected instead to apportion the entirety of its HEERF II funding, an estimated $2.8 million, to university students as need-based grants.

Midwestern has already awarded and disbursed approximately $2 million in HEERF II funds to students. This is in addition to awarding all of the $2.25 million in prior HEERF funding to students in 2020. To date, Midwestern has provided over $4 million in HEERF grants directly to students.

“The entire Midwestern University community recognizes the significant financial challenges faced by our health care students during this unique period of our

OBITUARIES

history,” remarked Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Midwestern University.

“Because we have positioned ourselves through careful planning to safeguard our university’s infrastructure during challenging times such as these, we have the wonderful opportunity to commit the entirety of our CARES Act funds to our students. We are proud to support our students, as they will be part of tomorrow’s health care team, working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and other health care challenges.”

The CRRSA Act is a major COVID-19-related law included as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. The law authorizes $82 billion to education through the Education Stabilization Fund, with $23 billion specifically for higher education. Midwestern University is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
