The Voice of the West Valley for 35 years

Dining in restaurants is back

BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

On May 11, hungry folks around the West Valley for the first time in two months heard this: “Please follow me to your table.”

Gov. Doug Ducey banned eating in restaurants in midMarch, though takeout and delivery was permitted. Last week, Ducey announced people could begin eating in restaurants again May 11 — though with a number of restaurant safety restrictions including limited seating.

Dino’s Greek and Italian Grill, Tailgaters and Old Pueblo Cafe opened for lunch service May 11— all reported steady business. Bella Luna and Sal’s Tuscan Grill opened for dinner service May 11.

But not all West Valley restaurants were ready to put customers in seats. Saddle

Mountain Brewery started seating May 12. Cracker Barrel is waiting until Friday, May 15, to start seating. Oregano’s is waiting until Monday, May 18, to allow customers to eat in the

Goodwill might be a model for reopening

BY CLAIRE SPINNER

West Valley View Contributing Writer

As retail shops around the West Valley ponder reopening while following safety guidelines, there may be a model to follow: Goodwill of Northern and Central Arizona.

Gov. Doug Ducey included Goodwill as

an “essential business,” allowing Goodwill to do business. Since April 13, Goodwill has reopened 21 stores and four career centers.

Courtney Nelson, Goodwill’s vice president of marketing and communications, was asked about “lessons learned” for do-

ing business during the pandemic.

“Keep your employees and customers safety top of mind and make sure to do a thorough review of all your business operations to ensure you are implementing

Dominic Gamarano, Oregano’s general manager, said he is taking his time to work on reducing seating by a quarter of capacity.

He said he also needed to call back some staff he furloughed and train them on the new restrictions.

Peter Mahoney spent the weekend prepping his three Downtown Litchfield Park restaurants: Park Cafe, Old Pueblo Cafe and Papa Paul’s Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta. He said customers would see some new features, “as we have been doing a lot of construction during the hiatus.”

Sam Billelo, owner of Bella Luna and Sal’s Tuscan Grill, has been a mainstay in the West Valley restaurant scene for decades.

He has been through good times and bad, recessions and the recent stretch of record-low unemployment. Nothing prepared him for the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’m just taking it day by day,” he

The Maricopa County Department of Health Services provided the following guidelines for people who plan to dine in restaurants (permitted starting Monday, May 11): • Stay home if sick.

• Consider ordering food for delivery or curbside pickup if available.

• Protect yourself while dining at restaurants.

• Stay at least 6 feet away from others while dining.

• When you do dine in, consider dining during off-peak hours (for example, early morning, mid-afternoon or late night).

• If you are at higher risk for severe illness, continue to use takeout and delivery and avoid dine-in services at restaurants. People at higher risk for severe illness include adults 65 or older and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions.

• Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.

• If possible, use touchless payment (pay without touching money, a card or a keypad). If you must handle mon-

said, trying not to get too eager about Ducey’s relaxed restaurant restrictions.

With family across the county, including some “hot spot” areas, he had mixed feelings about the economy reopening.

“It should be OK,” Billelo said. “But just like everybody else, there’s that doubt in your head—‘Is this going to be OK?’ “But I think Arizona’s going to be OK as long as everyone follows the rules.”

Billelo said he will strictly enforce social distancing by blocking off every other table—even if “it’s sort of strange.

“We’re just going to take the safe road and do what we think is best.”

He said his staff will wear masks and gloves.

Even though his restaurants remained open for takeout and delivery, like others Billelo was forced to deeply cut into his staff, furloughing nearly two-thirds of his employees.

Last week, he called several of them with this question: “Are you ready?”

Not all West Valley patrons were ready to eat out, just yet.

Sharply differing opinions on the subject were illustrated by a May 11 West Valley View Facebook poll, which asked if restaurants and retail shops reopening for in-person service is: “about right;” “too early;” or “not enough — open up everything.”

Three hours after the posting, only two went with the “about right” option.

“Open up everything,” received 24 votes. “Too soon” received 29 votes.

Dino’s noted on a Facebook post that it will follow social distancing: “We will be offering limited seating in both the bar and dining area and enforcing social distancing of at least 6 feet between parties. For the safety of our staff and customers, we will be implementing comprehensive sanitation protocols and adhering to CDC guidelines.”

That would get a nod of approval from Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord.

While cautiously optimistic about the loosened restrictions on shops and restaurants, Lord added, “It will be important for all of us to be mindful of

the need to continue to abide by the physical distancing standards that are in place.”

Avondale Mayor Kenneth Weise used the same “cautiously optimistic” term.

“The past few weeks have been a strain on the state’s economy,” Weise said. “I know many of our Avondale businesses are eager for the opportunity to reopen, thoughtfully and safely.”

Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck is normally a “shop local” cheerleader, but his tone is more subdued these days: “I encourage our residents to continue supporting our local businesses if they feel safe to do so,” he said.

Many would agree on Meck’s praise of locals who managed to stay open during the pandemic.

“Thank you to our local retail businesses and restaurants for your innovation in finding alternative ways to still conduct business during the stay-home order,” Meck said.

“I’m pleased they are able to gradually reopen by following the CDC guidelines.”

Barbers and salons permitted to reopen, with restrictions Though Gov. Doug Ducey allowed barbers and cosmetology salons to reopen May 8, it was hardly “business as usual.”

Ducey’s guidance for customers: • Stay home if sick.

• Stay at least 6 feet away from other patrons.

• If you are at higher risk for severe illness, you should avoid visiting barbers and cosmetologists. People at higher risk for severe illness include adults 65 or older and people of any age who have serious underlying medical conditions.

• Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth.

• If possible, use touchless payment (pay without touching money, a card, or a keypad). If you must handle money, a card or use a keypad, use hand sanitizer immediately after.

• After leaving your appointment, use hand sanitizer. When you get home, wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.

The Department of Health Services issued guidance for barbers and cosmetologists: • Maintain physical distancing, to the extent possible.

• Provide and require employees to wear masks when possible.

• For salon treatments that require touching someone’s face, provide and require employees to wear gloves when possible.

• Provide access to soap and water for handwashing or an alcohol-based hand sanitizer at stations around the store, salon or spa for use by employees and clients. Require employees to wash hands immediately before and after providing client service.

• For treatments/appointments that don’t require touching the client’s face, clients should be encouraged to wear masks for their protection.

• Operate with reduced occupancy and capacity based on the size of the business location with special attention to limiting areas where customers and employees can congregate.

• Wipe any pens, counters or hard surfaces between use or customer.

• Implement comprehensive sanitation protocols.

• Implement symptom screening for employees prior to the start of their shift.

• Consider offering cloth face coverings to employees and visitors to wear.

• Consider operating by appointment only to manage occupancy levels.

• Arrange waiting areas, service areas and break rooms to provide for appropriate phys-

ical distancing, and sanitize areas regularly between use.

• Consider posting signs advising customers and employees of expectations and guidance.

• Consider not charging late/cancellation fees if someone cannot make their appointment due to illness.

• Train all employees in the above safety actions.

Goodwill...continued from page 1 every safety protocol you can before reopening,” Nelson said.

“The community has been so positive about our reopening,” she added.

“Customers have been very understanding and receptive of our new safety procedures.”

Goodwill of Northern and Central Arizona became the first company to obtain the HealthyVerify Certification.

The certification was created by the Rose Law Group with the help of Arizona State University and Barrow Neurological Institute at Dignity Health’s St. Joseph’s Hospital in Arizona.

Safety measures at Goodwill stores include plexiglass at all registers, tape marking off 6 feet of distance for cash register lines, and contactless payment options.

Goodwill funds its operations by selling donated items.

Under new pandemic practices, Nelson said, “When someone drops off donations, the donation attendants spray them with a disinfectant spray before they are sorted and put on the sales floor.”

Goodwill employees now have a health check every day, she added.

“This includes employees having to answer a few questions like, ‘Have you been around anyone who is sick?’ before they are able to enter the building,” Nelson said.

Goodwill’s reopened stores in the West Valley are located at: • 6161 W. Bell Road, Glendale.

• 20713 N. 83rd Avenue, Peoria.

• 711 S. Watson Road, Buckeye.

• 15433 W. McDowell Road, Goodyear.

• 390 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear.

The four Career Centers that have reopened include 515. N. 51st Avenue (at West Van Buren Street) in Phoenix and 6750 W. Peoria Avenue in Peoria.

The Career Center desks and computers are now 6 feet apart. The number of job seekers inside the career center is limited, and sanitizing takes place after each use.

According to Goodwill, reopening the stores and career centers allowed 1,000 employees to return to work.

Ducey announced April 7 that $2 million will be allocated to Goodwill to expand its career support services and put its employees back to work.

The money comes from a $50 million COVID-19 relief package that was passed by the Arizona Legislature and signed by Ducey in March.

“Goodwill is a beacon of hope to countless Arizonans across our state.

The work they do not only provides invaluable job and life skills, but also critical resources for families and individuals in need. They are a core part of our communities, and this funding will ensure they can continue to meet the needs of those who rely on them,”

Ducey said.

Goodwill’s career service programs are free and include “training for interviews, help with resumes, connecting people to jobs, or other important skill training designed for community members to get ahead in the professional world.”

Online resources include virtual meetings between Goodwill’s career navigators and job seekers.

Goodwill also held its first “virtual hiring event” involving 150 participants and 10 hiring companies.

“We get to see individuals coming in who have perhaps lost hope,” said Denise Coulson, district director of Goodwill Career Services.

“As they build their career path and submit resumes that could lead to the next career, the hope returns to their eyes. It’s so rewarding to see their excitement for what’s coming in the fu-

Nelson said Goodwill business is booming for a variety of reasons.

“Our donation centers have seen an uptick and our stores are doing well,” she said.

“We believe many shoppers will return because they love to treasure hunt, but some may visit us in the coming weeks out of necessity, too.

“They may have lost a job and want to shop at a lower price point.”

Lesko joins president for trip on Air Force One

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MAY 13, 2020

BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

Rep. Debbie Lesko spent last week mingling with the top of the political food chain.

After a trip aboard Air Force One to join President Donald Trump on a tour of Honeywell’s mask-making facility in Phoenix, Lesko joined Trump and other Republican lawmakers for a May 8 roundtable discussing the response to COVID-19 and reopening the economy.

“Please don’t let all the critics get you down,” Lesko said to Trump, early in the roundtable. “There are so many people out there, so many people in Arizona and throughout the nation that think you’re doing a great job.”

Three days before the roundtable, Lesko, like Trump, did not wear a mask during the Honeywell tour.

“The Honeywell workers were all wearing masks,” Lesko said.

“The reason the president and vice president and governor and me and others didn’t have to wear a mask is

because we all just got tested and we were all negative.”

Lesko said her May 5 morning started at the White House. Though she received a negative COVID-19 test in Peoria in April when she had a fever, Lesko went through a “rapid test” at the White House.

After being cleared, she took a van ride and boarded Air Force One for the flight to Phoenix.

She spent some of the flight in a conference room, with Trump popping in and out. Lesko said she also visited Trump’s Air Force One office.

Lesko said her first trip on the presidential plan “was very exciting.”

“I called my mother, called my brother, my husband, my daughter. When he heard, ‘Operator assistance, call from Air Force One,’ my brother thought it was a joke.

“It was an absolutely awesome experience,” Lesko said. “I’m totally blessed. Not too many people get the opportunity to fly Air Force One with the president.”

She said she had the opportunity for brief interactions with Trump.

“He loves Arizona,” Lesko said. “He was in a good mood.

“Just like the rest of us, he gets antsy to get out of the house and get back to some kind of normalcy.”

Lesko’s 8th Congressional District and the rest of Arizona attempted a guarded return to normalcy this week, with retail shops reopening and restaurants able to serve customers for sit-down meals.

“I think it’s good we’re reopening society,” Lesko said. “Like Gov. (Doug) Ducey said, we still need to practice social distancing and wear the mask when possible.

“People who are high risk, the elderly and those with underlying medical

conditions, they’re the ones being advised to stay home more. The rest of us not in that high-risk group — as long as we practice safety I think it’s a good thing,” Lesko said.

“People need to see family and friends, they want to go to church, they want to go to work. There’s mental-health risks to being locked up in your home. I’m a very optimistic person, and sometimes I was getting depressed. I’m sick of being locked up at home.”

After flying back to Peoria over the weekend, Lesko had plans to help kick-start the local economy in a small way: “I want to go to El Pollo Loco/ That’s the place my husband and I go before or after church on Sundays.”

Seven die of COVID-19 at Glendale’s long-term facility

BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

According to a New York Times story, one-third of national deaths from COVID-19 were residents of long-term facilities.

The statistic is far more extreme in Maricopa County, where 70% of the 240 coronavirus-related deaths as of May 11 were residents of long-term facilities.

While other facilities have not shared information on deaths, Glencroft Center for Modern Aging in Glendale announced 38 residents tested positive for COVID-19 and seven residents died from complications from the disease, according to Millie Oakeson, vice president of corporate marketing for the facility.

“Glencroft has 1,600 people working and living on its campus. The seven deaths have come from Providence Place, a Medicare-certified skilled nursing facility at Glencroft,” Oakeson said.

She said none of the 600 residents in Glencroft’s independent living residences have tested positive.

“All of the residents who have died from the virus had chronic illnesses or a terminal disease which contributed to their passing,” Oakeson said.

“Glencroft continues to test residents and employees, and there has been no visitation allowed for more than 10 weeks.

Employees are checked and screened daily, and infected residents are isolated to prevent further spread.”

Several other long-term facilities in the Valley have had multiple residents die of COVID-19.

According to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, “Residents of long-term care facilities (including skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, rehabilitation facilities and hospice facilities) are at highest risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 infection because they live in a communal setting and tend to be older with chronic medical conditions.”

Of 967 COVID-19 cases among residents at 135 facilities, 221 (23%) have been hospitalized and 162 (18%) have died.

Of the 221 residents of long-term facilities that have been hospitalized in the county, 170 have died (77%).

And 90% of those who have died of COVID-19 in the county have been 65 or older, according to Department of Public Health data. Of the remaining COVID-19 deaths, 8% have been in the 45-to-64 age range, with 2% 20 to 44.

Of the county deaths, 97% have been “high risk”—65 and older and/or had a chronic condition.

Arizona Department of Health Services figures show 79% of Arizona’s COVID-19 deaths have been 65 and older.

Two employees of long-term facilities in Maricopa County have died of COVID-19. According to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, “Of 419 COVID-19 cases among staff, 23 (5%) have been hospitalized.”

BUHSD grads ‘race to the finish line’

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

High school can be pictured as a long race with many laps.

Buckeye Union High School District seniors are literally racing to the finish line, as the Phoenix Raceway is celebrating the accomplishments and years of hard work for graduating students at Buckeye Union High School, Estrella Foothills High School, Youngker High School and BUHSD Learning Center.

On Saturday, May 16, BUHSD grads-to-be will be able to cross Phoenix Raceway’s start/finish line with their family and friends.

Beginning at 10 a.m., over 1,000 graduates inside vehicles with their loved ones will take to the one-mile

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MAY 13, 2020

oval that will host the 2020 NASCAR Championship Weekend.

Led by Toyota Camry pace cars, graduates will hear their names aloud on the track’s public address system as they cross the start/finish line. Buckeye Union High School and the Learning Center will kick off the parade, followed by Youngker/LC at 1 p.m. and Estrella Foothills/LC at 4 p.m.

“During these unprecedented times with large gatherings such as traditional high school graduations in doubt, our facility has the unique ability to provide a fun twist while safely holding an event like this,” Phoenix Raceway President Julie Giese said. “I’m proud that we can utilize Phoenix Raceway to

celebrate the accomplishments of the young men and women in our community and be part of such a memorable day.”

As a graduation gift, Phoenix Raceway will provide each student a free ticket to the Lucas Oil 150 NASCAR Gander RV & Outdoors Truck Series Championship race on Friday, Nov. 6.

“During this unprecedented time, the Class of 2020 has undergone a whirlwind of emotions,” BUHSD Superintendent Eric Godfrey said.

“The anticipation and excitement our seniors were feeling as they progressed through their final semester of high school was quickly swept away as our schools closed and students never re-

turned from spring break. Sadly, athletic seasons, activities, recitals, concerts, plays, proms, graduations and many other events have all been canceled or delayed.

“Buckeye Union High School District is excited to partner with Phoenix Raceway to give our seniors a special event to recognize their accomplishments. This will never replace all that they lost, but hopefully this experience will be a lifetime memory maker.”

In accordance with CDC and government recommendations, the parade will be closed to the public and all in attendance will remain in their vehicles throughout the duration of the event.

Luke Air Force Base, which previously gave its approval for a military compatibility permit for the project, joined the cities of Litchfield Park and Goodyear in raising concerns over truck traffic the facility would generate.

Hundreds of neighborhood residents also are protesting the project—which, according to a traffic study funded by the developer, could have as many as 6,000 daily truck trips.

KW Projects, the developer, countered that traffic will not be disruptive, as trucks will primarily drive a short distance to the Loop 303.

And, according to the developer, the facility would generate hundreds of high-paying jobs.

Following CDC guidelines to limit crowd size, the public may not attend in the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting in person but can view the meeting by registering at attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/2875609241374268686.

Cowley Companies plans to sell Falcon Golf Course, which is in unincorporated Maricopa County, bordering

Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Luke Air Force Base.

Residents of Goodyear and Litchfield Park have protested the proposal by KW Projects, which said it will build a transportation facility. KW has not named the company it plans to lease the property to, but KW has many FedEx facilities around the county.

A KW representative is asking the commission to approve a military compatibility permit with a plan of development.

The KW request has been delayed several times, first by meeting cancellations, then when the developer asked for an extension.

According to the agenda, opposition to the project includes emails from Luke Air Force Base and the cities of Goodyear and Litchfield Park, as well as 191 “public opposition” emails and an online petition.

Those who wish to comment on the cross dock (case number MCP2019005) or other agenda items can email rachel.applegate@maricopa. gov identifying the Planning and Zoning Commission hearing date; agenda item and case number; name, address, email and phone number; support or opposition; and if they wish to speak or not.

Refugees and minorities hit hard by pandemic

BY ERICA SHIPIONE AND SARA CASTRO West Valley View Contributing Writers

Making up almost half of the population in Arizona, according to 2019 data from the Office of Economic Opportunity, minorities are a large part of workers in the third fastest-growing state in the United States.

Stanford T. Prescott, of the International Rescue Committee in Glendale, said refugees have been hit hard by the pandemic’s economic consequences.

“In many cases, their first job is in hospitality or transportation or in foodservice, entry-level blue-collar jobs,” Prescott said. “The reality is that those three industries have been three of the industries that have been hardest hit by the economic impacts of the pandemic.”

The IRC works with refugee families in the Valley to help those who have been impacted by the pandemic by checking in with refugee families to evaluate their health, safety and other needs. They IRC also translates information related to COVID-19 to other languages, including Arabic, Swahili and Somali, spoken by refugees in the West Valley, said Prescott.

Refugees who have faced layoffs, lower hours and economic uncertainty due to the pandemic are among those the IRC works with. They continue to assist them by providing immediate needs, helping them find additional work and also assistance with applying for benefits.

“We’ve delivered over 200 care packages including food and other basic household items,” Prescott said. “We’re also working to help folks apply for benefits and different government programs that have been created to help workers.”

Minorities, immigrants and refugees who are facing economic hardships due to pandemic layoffs are also finding support through their local unions.

Danna Schneider of Unite Here Local 11, which represents hospitality and hotel workers, said members have been devastated.

“About 80%, if not more of our membership here, has been laid off,” Schneider said. “Working families, which are immigrant families, people of color, single women—they’re hit harder when a crisis like this happens, because they have less of a safety net.”

Valley of the Sun United Way COVID-19 Fund as created to support the needs of individuals, families and other nonprofit organizations serving them.

“We are hearing from ethnic minorities who, like so many, are scared. They are not alone,” said Kelli Fawcett of Valley of the Sun United Way. “Heartbreaking reports of job loss and general concern for how families basic needs will be met are coming from every direction.”

Through the Read On Avondale project, United Way leads a collective impact model grade-level reading effort in the West Valley, which they look to United Way’s leadership and guidance to help navigate through the pandemic.

“While COVID-19 has certainly presented new and unique challenges for us all, we are steadfast in our mission to be conveners, listeners and change makers, that is helping us provide the best possible support—in real time—for our nonprofit and school partners throughout Maricopa County,” Fawcett said.

ROTARY CLUB DONATES FACE SHIELDS

There’s no place like… the office

BY ETHAN S. AGUILAR AND BRENDA RIVAS West Valley View Contributing Writers

The Rotary Club of Goodyear PebbleCreek invested in supplies to make 500 protective face shields for the Goodyear and Avondale fire departments.

“Our first responders are out in the field every day responding to calls and putting themselves at risk to exposure of the virus. This is our way of helping and saying thank you,” said Charlie Miller, Rotary president.

“We were running critically low on face shields. We just couldn’t get them from our vendors anymore. This generous gift has been a godsend,” Goodyear Fire Chief Paul Luizzi said. (Submitted

Working from home or office in the days of COVID-19 presents major challenges for many West Valley residents.

“I think I’m working even harder than I did before,” said Michelle Thompson, a Millennium High School English teacher.

She also said she sometimes feels disconnected.

“I miss the face-to-face interaction and standing at the door, greeting and checking in with them,” she said about her students.

Dr. Troy Anderson, a Goodyear neurologist, has included much more telemedicine into his practice, though he is still able to see some patients in office.

He agrees the lack of personal interaction makes things difficult.

“I miss being face-to-face with my patients. I am not able to give a friendly pat on the back like I am used to,” he said.

But many people are looking for silver linings.

John Crow, CEO of Glendale-based Century 21 Northwest Realty, said he is seeing the community in a new light.

“There’s a real soul to the fabric of the community of the Glendale area, and you’re really seeing that now more than ever,” he said. He sees businesses and the community rallying together to keep one another afloat, he added.

Crow, whose office is considered an essential business by the state of Arizona and has been restructured with a smaller crew for everyone’s safety, said he is optimistic about the future of his and other businesses.

He looks forward to more normal times. Meanwhile, his staff gives regular antiseptic cleaning to the workstations and informs clients of the necessary regulations before allowing them into the building.

Ryan Caracciolo, founder of Striventa Business Solutions, said he, too, has noticed and taken a hand in mutually supporting local businesses, even as he and his employees all work from their homes.

“What I’ve seen is a rallying among businesses and companies supporting

and helping one another through this difficult time,” he said.

While no one is erecting cubicles in their homes yet, the challenge of limited space can be daunting. Caracciolo, for example, shares his workspace with his two young daughters.

Many with previous teleconferencing and collaboration software experience have had a noticeably easier time adapting to the new circumstances, according to Khan Ho, a Glendale-based operations engineer at Desert Financial.

Ho said that, like many, he is looking forward to any light at the end of the tunnel in regard to the enforced self-isolation. Even so, he said he hopes the skills acquired from this time of remote work will assist him in the future.

Ho said he is fortunate to have an individual office space in his home and has had no difficulty managing his professional and family life, partly because of his industry’s reliance on remote work prior to the governor’s stay-at-home order.

“I definitely have more time to tend to issues around the house, and I’ve been able to balance my work with that,” Ho said.

The transition has been a challenge for those like Buckeye resident Leonor Gonzalez. A USAA customer service representative, she had trouble adjusting to working from home, as she had to share one ethernet cable with her significant other, who also works from home now.

“I couldn’t work if he had to work,” Gonzalez said

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

HITCH’S OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Our marketplace of ideas

imately 100,000 deaths from the flu.

During the 1957-58 flu season, we had approximately 116,000 deaths from the flu. During none of these times did we go as crazy over controlling the disease as we have currently. At no time, including during the 675,000 deaths from the Spanish flu of the 1918-19 season, did we shut down and try to destroy the economy and daily life of the United States. Yes, this is a serious disease, but not as it’s being portrayed.

Yes, we need to take precautions, but we don’t need to shut down all our businesses and close down normal life.

It’s time news agencies and government officials report things in context and we react accordingly. It’s time to open this country back up.

Niles Dunnells Avondale

Editor: I notice that a few opinion writers tend to rudely dismiss other writers’ publicly shared ideas as “nonsense.”

Further, they make it clear that the West Valley View’s opinion editors err in printing those viewpoints the critics deem nonsensical. Did they miss the “freedom of expression” class?

The newspaper’s fine folks are editors, not censors. They don’t try to suppress free speech. Such negative comments seem offensive at best and intolerant at worst (thus, very un-American to me).

Let’s all take a deep breath and consider the timeless words of the French philosopher Voltaire: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Ken Williams Goodyear

Editor: Each day I am bombarded by numbers and scare messages regarding the coronavirus. Yes, this is a serious concern, but people need to look at this realistically with regard to other diseases.

Today on “Meet the Press,” we were presented with the following numbers: We have had 937,659 cases and 53,352 deaths in the United States. Scary numbers, right? But these are really misleading when taken in context. These numbers represent an approximately 96% recovery rate. The number of deaths is only slightly higher than the average yearly seasonal death rate for the influenza during the last 20 years.

During the 2017-18 flu season, the CDC estimated 61,099 deaths. During the 1968-69 flu season, we had approx-

Editor: In 1964, in an attempt to defeat Barry Goldwater, the Democratic National Committee made a commercial. The commercial was of a little girl, maybe 3 years old, picking daisies in her garden.

As the adorable and innocent little girl picked the petals off the flower, she counted their number. As she came to five, four, three, two and one at the same time, you could hear a background voice counting down to the explosion of a nuclear bomb. Immediately, the full impact of a nuclear explosion was flashed across the screen.

In my opinion, that commercial was the one singular most important reason why Goldwater was defeated.

The Democrats had worked very hard to portray Barry Goldwater as a loose cannon. The implied question was,

Compare fairly

“Do you want Goldwater’s finger on the nuclear trigger?” That commercial was a masterpiece and full of emotion.

Fast forward to the present day. Everyone knows sleepy Joe Biden has lost his mental agility and makes gaffes like crazy anytime he appears in public. He frequently doesn’t know what day of the week it is or what office he is running for. He does not make many public appearances, which is by design.

That 1964 commercial was as low down and dirty as it gets. I think this year, the Republicans should get just as low down and dirty as the Democrats have been for years. The Republicans should make a similar commercial.

They should ask the question, “Do you really want Joe Biden’s finger on the nuclear trigger?” If they have the guts to do so, they will keep the presidency. They should run the commercial nationally the day Biden secures the nomination. They should beat that commercial to death and ride it to victory.

Am I the first one to have thought of this brilliant idea? This is no time to

play nice guy with the Democrats. They deserve no respect at all! God bless President Trump and his pro-American agenda.

The West Valley needs hundreds of leaders 12

Think you know the West Valley?

Well, think again.

Phoenix, Scottsdale and the East Valley are widely known as distinct destinations, but now the West Valley has come of age and we have our own persona. According to WESTMARC, the West Valley is made up of 15 unique communities utilizing one voice to collaborate and advocate for its residents who live and work here. They include: Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Gila Bend, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Phoenix, Sun City, Sun City West, Surprise, Tolleson, Wickenburg and Youngtown.

desire to make a difference in their communities and connect with others who see potential in the future.

Shelby Duplessis aptly shared, “Volunteering can bring fulfillment and inspiration and give a sense of connecting with community. From investing my time and energy in important causes, this has been a way for me to give back. As a class member and board chair of Leadership West, I had the opportunity to learn about my community, to network and to meet my best friends and mentors.”

According to the EF Academy Blog, “Volunteering your time to support a cause you are passionate about is something you will never regret. It will enrich your life, familiarize you with your community and connect you to people and ideas that will positively impact your perspective for the rest of your life. Helping your community is an opportunity for you to grow as a person and to better understand how you fit into the world around you.”

During these uncertain times, what we know to be true is the significance of connections and community service.

Business Briefcase

BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

Retail, barbers, salons and restaurants: Congratulations! Gov. Doug Ducey allowed you to reopen for in-person business.

But now how are you going to do it?

A great resource is WESTMARC’s April 30 webinar: “What are the best practices for reopening?”

Though it came just before Ducey’s announcement, the panelists clearly felt the vibe that restrictions would be loosened—and offered tips for getting back to business safely.

Christina Oh, CEO for Abrazo West Campus, was optimistic and ap-

preciative. “Despite the fact there is a ‘COVID cloud’ over the world, hospitals are learning what it’s like to be part of a community. … We have been showered with gifts; we’ve been showered with more food than our bellies can handle,” she said.

After expressing her gratitude for community support, Oh shared four areas of Abrazo focus that she said general businesses can use: •“Be unapologetic about protecting your stakeholders. For Abrazo, that meant stocking up on personal protective equipment. We haven’t had a single employee that has tested positive because of exposure at work,” she said.

•“Be data driven.” Oh referred the

webinar audience to the website covid19.healthdata.org, which Oh said shows Arizona reached a COVID-19 peak April 22.

•“Be very transparent.”

Oh admitted at Abrazo West, “We were not super public” with the first COVID-19 cases. Now, she said, “We send a nightly email to employees and physicians telling them exactly how many positive patients we have in house. …

People will give you grace for being very transparent about your thought processes.”

West Valley View Contributing Writers

Despite stay-at-home orders in Arizona, people across the Valley still need their functioning vehicles for essential business. In order to keep people moving to the places they need to go, auto shops are considered essential businesses and have remained open.

Auto shop managers across the West Valley said customer call volume has decreased in general since coronavirus began. Jorge Erazo, manager of S & S Tire and Auto Service Center shops in Goodyear/Avondale, said they are still getting customers, but not as many as prior to the pandemic.

“They are coming in for oil changes, tires, flat repairs and driveability issues,” Erazo said. “They’ve got to keep (their cars) in good running condition, because if the car is not running good, they will have a difficult time getting to a particular place.”

General Manager Rob Slagle of S&S Tire and Auto Service Center in Peoria said call volumes decreased in March but have increased slightly since.

He said this could be due to stimulus checks giving people the financial comfort to care for their cars.

Slagle said they’re going “above and beyond” to try to meet customer needs and keep their employees safe.

He called the situation a “work in progress,” saying they’ve had to come up with new ways to go about regular practices.

One of the main issues, he said, was dealing with keys.

“For forever, the customer has handed us the keys and they would go into a work order packet,” Slagle said. “Now, instead of us touching your keys, we ask you to drop them into a Ziploc bag.”

Slagle said the plastic bag solution is a simple but effective one. After receiving the key in the bag, the employees can unlock the car by sticking the key through the bag.

“Something that simple made a huge difference in keeping everybody safe,” Slagle said.

Car drop-offs are another issue auto shops have had to deal with. Craig Howerton, general manager of Glendale’s Champs Auto Repair Service, said they offer a no-contact service.

“We will gather their information electronically, record the problem with their car electronically,” Howerton said.

“They can drive up to the front lot … leave the keys in the car and go home.”

After receiving the car from the customer, employees wipe the inside of the car with a sterile rag before working on it, Howerton said. Customers will then receive an email with the repair information and can confirm or deny the repair work.

Many auto shops also offer free pickup and drop-off services for cars. David Denmon, the president of Dave’s Car Care AZ in Glendale, said his auto shop offers this service to customers.

“We got ahead of it,” Denmon said.

“We sent out emails to all of our clients letting them know that we were open and willing to do pickup and delivery … and that we even offered to pick up prescriptions and food for them.”

In Buckeye, 2 Amigos Auto Repair owner Enrique Gomez said the precautions his shop is taking leave his employees and customers feeling safe.

“We get the key and the money and we try to stay safe,” Gomez said. “We use a glove just in case.

Like many, Cassidy Free of Peoria is staying home and hardly driving at all in her car.

“I drive it every three days to make sure it doesn’t stall out the next time I use it,” Free said.

Jesse Campbell, education manager at the Universal Technical Institute’s Maricopa County campus in Avondale, said car batteries can drain over time if they sit for long periods of time without use. Campbell said starting your car “15 to 30 minutes once a week will usually take care of that problem.”

Shop owners around the West Valley emphasize they will remain open for their customers.

“This is about relationships,” Denmon said. “It’s not about fixing cars.”

Healthy diet, sleep and exercise keys to maintaining immune system

BY KYLEE GILLESPIE AND BRIAN CANO West Valley View Contributing Writers

Keeping your immune system strong is important—now more than ever—as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread, West Valley nutrition and health experts say.

The challenges are different, even within the same household, said KaTrina Samuels-Garrison, a registered dietician and nutrition specialist at AM Nutrition Services in Avondale and Glendale.

Older residents need to eat carefully to keep their immune system strong, she said. And the middle-aged working from home have to learn to not snack all day long.

“I have gone to the grocery stores and

I see a lot of food items that are being taken from shelves, like dry goods,” Samuels-Garrison said. “But I see a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables that are still sitting on the shelves. These are the things people should be eating.”

Eating a nutritious, balanced diet is important for your overall health and your immune system, she noted.

For all adults, especially older people, Samuels-Garrison said eating the right foods is essential to beating an infection and keeping your immune system operating at top levels. She said she tells her patients to fuel up on foods that are high in vitamin A, vitamin C and magnesium, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, romaine lettuce and oranges.

“When I have a patient that comes in who tends to be stressed out or anxious, I tell them to go and get this magnesium,” Samuels-Garrison said. “A lot of people feel their anxiety and their stress come down after taking magnesium.”

One of the most important things to keep healthy, especially during any disease outbreak, is make sure you’re getting enough sleep and try to minimize stress.

Alex Juarez, communications director for AARP Arizona, said getting plenty of exercise, meditating and do-

ing breathing exercises can help.

“There’s a strong link between your immune health and your mental health,” Juarez said. “When you’re under chronic stress or anxiety, your body produces stress hormones that suppress your immune system.”

And rest can be crucial. A 2015 study from the journal SLEEP, an official publication of the Sleep Research Society, found that people who sleep at least seven hours were four times less likely to come down with a cold than those who clocked less than six.

AARP has produced multiple reports on the advantages of exercise to older adults. Exercise has a multitude of benefits, including decreasing inflammation and improving immune regulation, Juarez said.

“Working out is a powerful way to boost your immune system. It causes your body’s antibodies and white blood cells to circulate more rapidly,” Juarez said.

But Samuels-Garrison said exercise and diet sometimes isn’t enough. Many factors go into lowering one’s immune system, and while a change in diet might not alter an immune system immediately, it can help ward off illness.

“With seniors, because of their age,

they may have diseases or conditions in the human body or have to take medications, or they may have chronic stress,” Samuels-Garrison said. “You can’t change those things overnight.”

While social distancing has more people cooking at home and staying in, Samuels-Garrison cautioned about portions and healthy options.

Instead of eating junk food and continuously snacking, opt for fruits and vegetables, which contain a lot of fiber and water and therefore give the feeling of being full.

“If you hit your fullness cue and you’re still trying to eat, it usually is a sign of something else,” Samuels-Garrison said. “So if you’re finding that you’re walking into the kitchen because you’re stressed out or bored, you need to find some other activity.”

Tech-free ways to stay busy during quarantine

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MAY 13, 2020

BY BHAKTI GOSALIA Guest Writer

We are in uncharted territory right now, with uncertainty all around us.

The stay-at-home order recently implemented in Arizona and social distancing have made it extremely difficult to maintain relationships with friends and family, stay active and ultimately find things to keep ourselves busy.

COVID-19 has ended visitation at older-adult communities and has made socializing more difficult. This can have a serious impact both short term and long term on older adults, especially those living alone. Research suggests that isolation and loneliness are linked to high blood pressure, obesity, heart disease, a weakened immune system, depression, anxiety, cognitive decline, Alzheimer’s disease and early death.

How can seniors stay busy and connected during this time of isolation?

Many seniors may not have or prefer not to use technology, which presents another hurdle.

Here are a few ways older adults or

others who are not comfortable with technology can stay busy and active while social distancing: • Call family and friends. Texting and video chat may be common practice these days, but a good old-fashioned phone call is certainly a great way to stay connected with family and friends when you are not able to see them in person.

• Listen to music. Music can have a variety of effects on our mood. It triggers activity in the same part of the brain that releases dopamine, the “pleasure chemical.” Listening to upbeat or lively music can brighten our mood as well as reduce anxiety, depression and stress.

• Read. Research shows that reading can reduce stress by 68%. Reading can also relax your body by lowering your heart rate and easing tension.

• Play brain games. Exercising the mind is just as important as exercising the body. Brain games help keep us occupied; stimulate thinking; and help with memory, concentration and

overall mood. Games like sudoku, solitaire, crossword puzzles, word games and even jigsaw puzzles are all great options.

• Engage in a hobby. Using your hands and creating something can have a positive impact on your mental state, leaving you feeling positive and productive. This is a great time to learn a new skill or pick up a new hobby. For example, learn to crochet or knit, draw or paint, bead, scrapbook or get one of those adult coloring books and create a masterpiece. Coloring can be very therapeutic, even as an adult. Many are also helping by making cloth masks.

• Get active. Just because we are confined to our homes or rooms, it by no means gives us a pass to be sedentary. Physical activity will help maintain our mobility, reduce boredom, stress and anxiety. Exercise reduces levels of the body’s stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol.

It also stimulates the production of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that are our body’s natural painkillers and mood elevators. You don’t have to do anything strenuous, just get up from our chairs, couches or beds and move around at least once every hour.

• Clean out clutter. Having more time at home means more time to clean up and clean out areas around the house.

Start with a small area. Get rid of things you don’t use regularly. Feeling organized and comfortable in your

Millennium senior named a Flinn Scholar

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

When Millennium High School senior Catherine Broski toured in-state schools with other Flinn Scholar finalists, she admitted she was a little intimidated.

“You get to know who you’re up against for the scholarship,” Broski said. “Everyone else was so amazing in the things they do. It was a real honor to meet them. I was worried that people would just drop hints about all the things they do, but it was the complete opposite of that. Everyone was welcoming, friendly and supportive of each other.”

She’s impressive herself. She was named one of 19 Flinn Scholars. A record 1,014 Arizona high school seniors applied for the Flinn Scholarships, producing a less than 2% award rate.

“There is so much to admire in each of these Flinn Scholars,” said Anne Lassen, Flinn Scholars program director. “They are all extremely bright and excel in the classroom. But what makes them stand out is how they engage with the world, their dedication to their schools and communities, and their motivation to have a positive impact on the future of Arizona and beyond.”

The merit-based award—supported by the Phoenix-based Flinn Foundation in partnership with Arizona’s three state universities—covers the full cost of tuition, mandatory fees, housing, meals and a myriad of exclusive opportunities—a package valued at more than $120,000.

The Flinn Scholars Class of 2020 will attend Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona this fall. Broski is headed to UA, where she will major in its program for philosophy, politics, economics and law.

“I’d like to go to law school and either work on policy writing or human

rights law,” Broski said. “I’ll see where undergrad studies take me.”

The other Flinn Scholars have selected a wide range of fields for their studies, including entrepreneurship, biology, astrophysics, philosophy, pre-veterinary medicine, public policy, chemical engineering, linguistics, pre-neuroscience and physiology.

“Each year, this rigorous and competitive application process offers us a glimpse into the potential and impact of Arizona students. I continue to be amazed at their academic accomplishment and dedication to extracurricular activities that serve the community,” Flinn Foundation President and CEO Tammy McLeod said.

“We are proud of the role the Flinn Scholars Program has played over its 35 years in Arizona’s educational ecosystem and the benefits it continues to offer not only the students who become Flinn Scholars but the entire state.”

During her time at Millennium, Broski organized a “Shoot for the Stars” workshop to encourage students in the community to be high achievers.

The workshop was inspired by Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership’s World Leadership Congress that Broski attended as a regional representative.

The program teaches and inspires young people to think critically and to appreciate a life dedicated to service and social change.

Since June 2019, she has been the state director of March for Our Lives Arizona. During the quarantine, Broski has been creating graduate cards for students affiliated with Homeless Youth Connection.

“It’s a nice thing to do for students in that program,” she said. “I can make a changeable difference.”

child had her eye on the sprinkle crayon prize.

“She’s really motivated,” Dolores said. “She’s self-motivated. When she was named state director of March for Our Lives Arizona, it was ‘hold on for the ride’ at that point.”

Broski saw protestors in Downtown Phoenix, but her experiences with HOBY convinced her parents that they could trust her maturity and judgment.

“Flinn’s a big deal,” Dolores added.

“It’s a big deal for us. She was accepted at Stanford, the George Washington

University, Vanderbilt and Duke, but then all this crazy stuff (COVID-19) happened. She wanted to be two hours away from home instead of 10 hours.”

Her father is just as thrilled.

“We’re really excited about her accomplishments and opportunities,” Joe said. “We’re very excited about Flinn.

Academically, nonacademically, socially and with leadership positions, she’s always stretched herself to full capability. We’re very excited for her to move on to the next chapter and meet new friends and face new challenges.”

Patrecia Ann Minetti

Patrecia Ann Minetti of Goodyear, AZ, a devoted follower of Jesus Christ, wife, and mother, passed away on April 28, 2020. Patrecia was born to the late Tom and Martha Dinkel in Denver, CO where she was raised. She attended college before joining the United States Navy where she met her husband of 62 years, Cdr. Bernard Louis Minetti USN Ret. They were married on December 26, 1957 in Milton, Florida while they were both stationed at N.A.S. Whiting Field. After moving from their home in Oak Harbor, WA, they lived in Deerfield Beach, Florida, Imperial Beach, California, Tucson, AZ, and Monument, CO and before settling in Goodyear, Arizona.

After her husband, Patrecia had two remarkable joys in her life. First was being with her family which she loved unconditionally. Then came her music. She sang beautifully and played piano, organ, and guitar and was a master in the art of music. She put that mastery to use leading church children's choirs and playing the church organ at services each Sunday. Patrecia had a vivacious personality and loved to make people laugh. A favorite pastime of hers was raising and breeding collies.

She built and maintained Sunset Kennels at their home in Oak Harbor.

Along with Bernard, Patrecia is survived by her daughter, Bernadette and her husband Tim, and her brother Thomas. A celebration of life will be held at 10:30 am on Thursday, May 7, 2020 at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, 13720 W. Thomas Rd in Avondale, AZ with a viewing one-hour prior.
