Residents protest developments

When word of a new development comes along, some simply say, “Oh well—there goes the neighborhood.”

But not people like John Connolly and C.J. Unzen. They say, “Oh no—don’t ruin the neighborhood!”

Both are residents of Litchfield Park.

Connolly lives at Litchfield Greens, on the east side of the Loop 303. Unzen lives on the west side of the freeway, which has become the hub of development.

A few months after Unzen heard about a Love’s Travel Center brewing in her neighborhood, Connolly learned of plans to turn the Falcon Golf Course—just outside Litchfield Park and Goodyear—into a “cross-dock” transportation facility.

Neither of them liked the projects one bit.

Connolly is leading opposition to what could bring thousands of trucks daily to West Camelback Road.

Unzen and a group of neighbors she helped organize say a truck stop will bring excessive traffic, noise and crime to their

pacific neighborhood, which looks out to White Tank Mountain Regional Park.

A third group is protesting plans to develop Allen Ranch, a massive, 800-acre property north of Goodyear’s PV303.

It is too early to tell if the residents’ protests will stop the developments. Cotton Properties, an area at the Loop 303 and Bethany Home Road that includes a pro-

posed Love’s Travel Center, was annexed from unincorporated Maricopa County into Glendale in January, despite outcry at meetings from Unzen’s group.

Cotton Properties next goes to the Glendale Planning Commission at 6 p.m. June 4, when the developer’s request to rezone from agri-

Buckeye No. 2, Goodyear No. 14 in fastest-growing cities

West Valley View Managing Editor

The race is on: Which West Valley city will crack the 100,000 population marker first?

Avondale, at just under 88,000 population according to recent U.S. Census data,

has the edge.

But Goodyear (86,840) grew at a nearly double rate over the last year, with a 4.8% increase, compared to the 2.6% increase that took Avondale’s population to an estimated 87,931.

And then there’s Buckeye.

In the last year, Buckeye blew away all Arizona cities, growing by a 7.1% rate to reach 79,620.

Buckeye’s growth over the last decade has been even more remarkable.

surprise to quiet neighborhoods.

Connolly and Unzen say residents don’t have to just sit by and let big projects roll over them.

“I’d say if you don’t like what you hear or see, say something or ask a question or two,” Connolly said.

“Others may have a different perspective that may in turn change your mind or they’ll have the same concerns creating an opportunity to network, organize and unite so your message is loud and clear and you will be taken seriously.”

And, he stressed for those who might not be comfortable in leadership, “everyone has a role.”

Unzen is a retired program manager who moved here from Southern California “for the rural environment and low crime.”

“The key to being engaged in an effort of this nature is to remain focused and ignore the naysayers. There’s always a risk associated with every effort but there’s also the reward of making new friends and gaining knowledge,” she said.

“I knew a truck stop would change the landscape of this area forever, and that is why I became so passionate about coordinating efforts to try to convince Love’s and the city of Glendale to find a more appropriate location for the truck stop.”

Similarly, Connolly feels a crossdock facility would forever change the landscape of his neighborhood.

Like Unzen, he stressed the importance of collaboration.

“Doing this alone would be impossible. Everyone involved has now ‘lawyered up,’ so I decided to do the same,” Connolly said.

He and a neighbor, Dave Morgan, who previously fought a proposed racetrack adjacent to Luke, got to work.

“We interviewed multiple law firms, partnered with Palm Valley Phase V and started a GoFundMe Campaign.”

At gofundme.com/f/stop-the-crossdock, $6,000 has been pledged—a long way from the $100,000 needed to pay lawyers, Connolly said.

Seeing all the projects going up around the West Valley, others who came here to escape the urban woes for rural peace and quiet might share John Connolly’s worry: “Are we just a dumping ground for warehouses and industrial expansions?”

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MAY 27, 2020

Cities...continued from page 1 A May 21 report from the Census Bureau shows an estimated 28,769 moved to Buckeye since the official 2010 count. That made Mayor Jackie Meck’s hometown the second fastest-growing city of more than 50,000 in the nation.

Only Frisco City, Texas, grew faster at 71.1% than Buckeye’s 56.6% growth rate.

Goodyear came in No. 14 for growth with a 33.1% increase in population since the last census.

Census numbers will not be “official” again until the 2020 census figures are released some time in 2021.

Litchfield Park grew by 2.3% last year—but 31% over the last decade—to reach a population of 6,436. Tolleson’s growth was 1.4% over the last year, bringing it to a population of 7,372.

Tolleson has had 12% growth in since 2010.

Buckeye’s far more rapid growth is not without its challenges and costs.

On May 19, Buckeye City Council approved an $8 million sewer expansion. “The current sewer is undersized We Offer PICK UPS TAKE OUTS DELIVERIES

and too shallow,” Chris Williams, a city staff member, explained to council.

“Our biggest challenge right now is securing retail shops, services and employment opportunities due to our rapid growth,” said Annie DeChance, a city spokeswoman.

But wait—there’s more.

Plenty more growth to come in Buckeye, according to the city.

Buckeye still has plenty of room to grow, as only 5% of the city is developed, according to Meck.

“It’s no surprise Buckeye remains one of the fastest-growing cities,” Meck said. “Our residents enjoy an excellent quality of life while providing exceptional value Left, Growth comes at a cost: Buckeye is spending $8 million to expand its sewer system.

COVID-19 testing in Tolleson

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Tolleson Mayor Anna Tovar, Arizona Sen. Lupe Contreras and Reps. Diego Espinoza and Lorenzo Sierra announced they partnered to secure COVID-19 testing for essential workers in Tolleson—including those at JBS meat plant.

“The city of Tolleson is home to thousands of essential workers who need convenient testing, and I will continue to form partnerships and collaborate with organizations to bring much-needed testing opportunities to our community,” Tovar said.

Testing of Tolleson essential workers was to take place May 21 and 22.

JBS, which processes beef and pork, is headquartered in Colorado, where more than 300 tested positive for COVID-19— including eight employees who died of the disease.

There have been no confirmed reports of coronavirus illness at JBS Tolleson, which has 1,200 employees, according to the company. The Tolleson plant is on 91st Avenue between West Buckeye Road and West Van Buren Street.

On its website, JBS said it has “adopted enhanced safety measures, health protocols and worker benefits to keep our workplaces, team members and products safe.”

According to the website, the safety measures include: • Increased sanitation and disinfection efforts, with an emphasis on common areas like bathrooms, locker rooms and cafeterias.

• Implementing health screenings and 100% temperature testing of all team members.

• Access to extra personal protective equipment, including masks.

• Promoting physical distancing where possible by staggering starts, shifts and breaks; installing large tents to allow for more spacing during lunch breaks; constructing plexiglass dividers to place on lunch tables in common areas; and increasing spacing in cafeterias, break rooms and locker rooms.

• Encouraging sick team members to stay home from work.

• Relaxed attendance policies so people don’t come to work sick.

Three dead from gunshots 25 YEARS OF HONEST SERVICE in west Goodyear home WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MAY 27, 2020

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Three family members are dead after a man killed his wife and stepson before committing suicide May 20.

According to Lisa Berry, a Goodyear Police spokeswoman, police responded to an emergency call at 163rd Drive and West Buchanan Street, near South Sarival Avenue and West Yuma Road.

Police found Leonard Payne, 57,

dead from what was determined to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Payne’s wife, Deborah Powers, 59, was also found dead of a gunshot wound. Her son, Mathew Bartholomew Oliver, 29, had critical gunshot injuries. He was transported to a hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Berry said Payne shot his wife and stepson before killing himself.

West Valley cities trail national average in census response

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

According to U.S. Census statistics, 56% of the state has responded to the 2020 census. That was slightly below the 60% national average.

The most responsive of West Valley cities have been Litchfield Park and Peoria, where two-thirds have responded to the household count. Goodyear was just behind them.

Buckeye and Glendale were slightly ahead of the state average. Avondale, El Mirage and Tolleson trailed the state average for responses.

The Census Bureau began mailing paper questionnaires in mid-April to

homes that had not yet responded. The mailing has information on how to respond online, by phone or by mail.

To learn more or respond online, visit my2020census.gov.

• Buckeye, 58%.

• El Mirage, 52%.

• Glendale, 58%.

Alleged ‘Westgate shooter’ said he was bullied, ignored

BY TOM SCANLON

West Valley View Managing Editor

Westgate was terrorized with its second shooting within four months last week.

On Jan. 29, 31-year-old Avondale resident Tyler Wilson was gunned down in a Westgate parking lot. The car enthusiast was on his way to an auto show when he became the apparent victim of road rage. His killer has not been caught.

On May 20, three were shot at Westgate in an apparently random attack by a single shooter. The suspect allegedly was armed with an AR-15 rifle that jammed—preventing him from reaching his goal of shooting 10 people, according to a prosecutor.

Police arrested Armando Hernandez, a 20-year-old Peoria resident, and charged him with multiple counts of aggravated assault.

He allegedly told police he identifies as an “incel,” short for involuntarily celibate, and shot people “to gain respect.”

A prosecutor said Hernandez had been planning the “mass casualty” attack for three years.

On May 20, he took a video of himself driving.

“Hello, my name is Armando Junior Hernandez and I’m gonna be the shooter of Westgate 2020,” he said and showed guns in his back seat. “This is to get back at society.”

Later in the video, a woman on the ground begs not to be shot again. An unseen man responds by taunting her.

The next day, a court video showed Hernandez looking far from arrogant, in handcuffs and an orange jail suit as he provided his name and date of birth before a Maricopa County Superior Court judge.

Randy Stewart, a spokesman for the Glendale Police Department, said at a May 21 press conference that police arrived at Westgate within five minutes of 911 calls about the shooting.

Police arrested Hernandez, who did not resist, Stewart said.

The damage caused by Hernandez could have been far worse, prosecutor

Ed Leiter of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said during a May 21 hearing setting $1 million bail for Hernandez.

“He had 90 rounds of ammunition,” Leiter said.

“But for the gun jamming, we would have been looking at many more victims.”

Leiter said a 19-year-old man was in critical condition after Hernandez shot him in the chest. “The hospital was very concerned due to the inability to stop the bleeding,” Leiter said.

Another victim was shot in the leg.

“There could be the loss of a limb,” the prosecutor said.

Tiffany Ngalula, a Glendale Police spokeswoman, said no updates would be provided over Memorial Day weekend.

The third victim did not require hospitalization, according to the prosecutor.

Public defender Philip Beatty said in court that Hernandez had no criminal history, works in construction, and lives with his father and brother.

“He should be able to return to the community,” the public defender said.

Leiter disagreed vehemently.

“Hernandez in his (police) interview

said he had the desire to cause mass casualties. He wanted to shoot 10 people—this was not a gun accidentally going off,” Leiter said.

“This was Mr. Hernandez expressing his anger at society, the feeling he has been bullied, the feeling that women don’t want him. He is a self-professed incel, which means he is involuntarily celibate.”

The prosecutor said Hernandez, who lived with his father and brother, was looking for couples to shoot at Westgate. “He wants people to feel the pain he has on a daily basis. He is very open about having a dark side, and his dark side was coming out,” Leiter said.

“He’s been contemplating a mass casualty or mass shooting specifically at Westgate for at least three or four years,” the prosecutor added.

Leiter said Hernandez was angered on the day of the shooting by an inability to get dinner at a favorite restaurant and then finding out movie theaters were still closed.

“He has a dramatic inability to control his emotions,” Leiter said.

The prosecutor noted Hernandez took a video of himself during the shooting. “He was not shy during the mass shooting, which he streamed and sent to a girl he was interested in,” Leiter said.

Hernandez was cruel and flippant during the attack, the prosecutor said.

“He said to one of (his victims), ‘Do you want fries with that.’”

During the 10-minute hearing, Hernandez stood with little expression next to the public defender.

Hernandez was returned to jail after the bail hearing. He will be back in court for a preliminary hearing at 8:30 a.m. Thursday, May 28.

One of the witnesses of the shooting was Arizona Sen. Martín Quezada, who tweeted shortly after the shooting: “I just witnessed an armed terrorist with an AR-15 shoot up Westgate.

There are multiple victims. … I’m OK. Lots of shaken up people.”

Glendale Police Chief Chris Briggs said he was proud of the quick work by police.

“In less than 10 minutes, our officers were on the scene and managed to take the suspect into custody,” Briggs said.

“This is a prime example of how we were able to work as a team to save lives and reduce the risk of injury to others.”

Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers added, “We want to thank the amazing men and women of the Glendale Police Department and the Glendale Fire Department and the other partnering agencies who responded instantly to the scene.

Their extensive training and immediate response allowed them to quickly secure the scene, which prevented additional people from being shot.”

to telehealth, seeing patients over FaceTime or through doxy.me. Mara Seigel, a regional manager for Epiphany, said for acne checkups or abrasion evaluations they’ll ask the patient to send the physician a picture of the skin area of concern prior to the telehealth appointment and then evaluate with the patient over the phone or video chat.

“With dermatology there are obviously some limitations, but for our patients with acne or rosacea and stuff like that, we’re still able to see our patients without them coming in,” she said.

CORE, Valleywise, Epiphany and other providers are trying to keep as much of the interaction online as possible for the safety of the patients and care providers but will still offer in-person visits if recommended by the doctor.

and increase their interaction.”

Dr. Nick Hunter, the president of Glendale physical therapy company Preferred Physical Therapy, said physical therapists have some kind of experience with telehealth care, probably without even realizing it. He said family members will ask him about a pain or joint problem, and through either a video call, audio description or photos, he tries to help them find a solution.

“Our education exists just by what our hands tell us,” he said. “Because of our assessment skills and ability to identify movement habits of people that are not right, we can make those critical decisions without having to put a hand on you.”

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

KIRK’S OPINION — King Features

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Glendale’s love of truck stops

Let’s hear it from the protesters—not

Editor: How important have your neighbors been during the COVID-19 crisis? Most likely a lot. A large group of neighbors in the Bethany Home/Cotton Lane area west of the 303 is fighting to keep their neighborhood a neighborhood.

Glendale has annexed and rezoned a square mile of farmland and readying to plant a new crop, a 50-bay Loves Travel Center and multistory warehouses at the northwest corner of Bethany Home and the 303. A quarter mile away are houses and a half mile farther and beyond, more communities and schools. All close enough to bear the brunt of air pollution, environment pollution, sound pollution, traffic congestion and crime totally absent in the neighborhood today.

Diesel smell 24/365; concentrated airborne diesel particulate matter; children subjected to the grid of truck stop roughnecks and petty criminals; property values plummeting. You probably wouldn’t want your neighborhood to become an industrial blight, and if so, we need your help.

The Glendale City Council has scheduled a public meeting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 4, at City Hall to discuss rezoning for a truck stop. If the COVID-19 restrictions are still in place, the City Council might hold a virtual meeting; details can be found at the Glendale’s website. Please contact council members by email—their addresses are on the website (glendaleaz. com, then “Your Government”)—and/ or attend the meeting to find out how “beautiful and desirable” a Loves Travel Center will make our neighborhood.

Alan Erickson Waddell

Editor: It’s pretty pathetic when a group of protesters can’t wait 10 days to see if the specialists who are directing the pandemic can knowingly tell us if it is safe to open the states’ economies.

We are all in the same boat unless you wish to join the protesters who evidently are from the Titanic. There is nothing wrong with people getting in their car and taking a ride to get out of the house. I do it myself.

If I get out of my car, my mask is on till I get back in. If driving to a park and sitting there enjoying the scenery, even from your car, gets you out of the house, go for it! If the park is empty, it’s safe to take a walk and easy to social distance if somebody else shows up. I’m sure some of the national parks that are not packed with visitors will open soon.

Why on Earth don’t the protesters use their brains? We are so close to being at the end of the quarantine and they want to risk sending us back to day No. 1 so we can start all over again. Patience is truly a virtue. It’s all over TV that it’s possible to catch coronavirus a second time. If the protesters know more than the medical specialists and governors, why aren’t they taking Dr. Fauci’s and Dr. Birx’s places on TV so we can get this quarantine over with?

President Trump should have these “specialists” on stage next to him— hopefully wearing masks. If the protesters actually succeed in getting the professionals to see things their way and all hell breaks loose with the pandemic, killing 20 million like in 1918, somebody better hope that any alien life on another planet may come to our rescue.

That short taste of getting out of the house without a mask, when even the specialists are not sure how to handle this pandemic, can surely doom civilization as we know it. When the protesters wake up dead, it will be too late to save the planet. We were all supposed to “be in this together,” but a few decided to get in their cars and parade in front of the state Capitol, either in cars or on foot, with many not bothering to wear masks and very few signs of social distancing.

If I gave my true feelings in words that can really tell it like it is, I’d be accused of “name-calling,” so I’ll just leave it like it is. You protesters better have some pretty good medical credentials to show us the next time you think you know more about a pandemic that even our present medical professionals find hard to cope with. This coronavirus is beyond any pandemic that has been on Earth.

The human race: plagues, epidemics and pandemics

Editor: The human race has been at war with microscopic pathogens since the dawn of time. The 10 Plagues of Egypt of the Old Testament, the Black Death of the 14th century, malaria, TB, cholera, polio, syphilis, measles and AIDS are just a few examples. George Washington fought a war and an epidemic of smallpox. John Adams dealt with a plague of yellow fever. FDR had polio. Ronald Reagan faced the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s.

Donald Trump is tackling the coronavirus.

There are two characteristics of our tiny enemies that are crucial in understanding their characteristics. They are transmissibility and lethality. To put it simply, it means how effective the organism is in moving from one person to another and how many does it kill.

OPINION

Opposed to Glendale’s Allen Ranch annexation

BY GARY BLANDINO AND BRAD MELTON Guest Writers

Imagine that your family bought the perfect home nestled in a pastoral community of large lots near the White Tank Mountains, where the local school is a caring haven for young minds and friendly neighbors meet for coffee at the country market just down the road near the small-town post office.

Now imagine a white sign appears across the street, which reads: “Zoning Hearing.” You discover that Glendale, a large city 19 miles away, wants to annex the farmland bordering your idyllic community to build massive industrial buildings and high-density housing.

They are not accountable to you; they plan to impose their will on you without your consent, and they can.

Unfortunately, an antiquated and now illegal process, known as “strip annexation,” allowed cities like Glendale, Goodyear, Buckeye and many more to lay claim to hundreds of square miles of unincorporated Maricopa County land. Glendale doesn’t

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | MAY 27, 2020

want neighborhoods and people; they want tax revenue with little or no cost.

No police and fire protection, no streets maintenance, no emergency medical support and no parks. Minimal money spent, maximum revenue.

And just why does Glendale need to make so much money? Earlier city councils decided to make Glendale a sports and entertainment mecca, competing with nearby Phoenix for a big payback. The sales tax revenue generated, they said, would cover the debt they would incur, close to a billion dollars. State Farm Stadium was built, along with Gila River Arena (Coyotes hockey), a convention and media center, and the Camelback Ranch baseball complex. Bond debt in the hundreds of millions of dollars serviced not by property taxes but by sales taxes.

Then came the Great Recession.

Glendale came within a hair’s breadth of going bankrupt. Lost city services have slowly been restored, and deferred maintenance is an ongoing issue. The city’s finances, still precari-

ous, were improving, but along came COVID-19. That sales tax to pay the bond debt? Gone. Bankruptcy? Maybe, but there is always the “New Frontier.”

Glendale’s “New Frontier,” which is the Loop 303 business corridor, was strip annexed by Glendale before the law changed in 1980; the land can be cherry picked for the best profit returns.

The land will be selectively added to the city only if it generates revenue without incurring a high cost to the city.

In 2016, the owners of Allen Ranches put forward a plan to obtain rezoning for nearly 900 acres of land in Maricopa County, just west of the 303, between Bethany Home and Camelback. On the east side they would have a commercial-industrial park, and on the west, abutting Citrus Road, they would have a residential community with very high home densities.

Area residents resisted and packed a hearing at Scott Libby School, making the property owner and the developer aware that the plan was unacceptable.

The developer’s representatives worked productively with the area stakeholders and developed a compromise plan. With fewer homes on a variety of larger lots, the plan was compliant with the Maricopa County zoning guidance for transitional zoning and buffers to prevent conflicts. Maricopa County approved the plan in December 2016.

Letters...continued from page 12 The 1918 flu moved rapidly from one person to another and killed 100 million people. The common cold moves easily but isn’t lethal. Ebola was lethal but not a pandemic.

The 2019 novel coronavirus is nasty.

It has moved rapidly around the world and has the capacity to cause significant numbers of deaths. We need the best and brightest of science from around the world to find a treatment and a vaccine.

This war is in its earliest stages.

Dr. Leonard Kirschner, MPH Col. U.S. Air Force (Retired) AHCCCS Director (1987-93) Past President, AARP Arizona Litchfield Park

Unfortunately, the owners of Allen Ranches have hatched a plan to bypass the wishes of Maricopa County and area residents by asking Glendale to annex their property and immediately rezone it to include a much larger commercial footprint than the county-approved plan would permit and a smaller, high-density residential component. Half of the 800 lots in this new plan would be smaller than the smallest residential lot size designation for Maricopa County.

And this residential community would sit 19 miles from Glendale City Hall, an island surrounded by unincorporated land. There is a name for this type of zoning: spot zoning. The classic definition of spot zoning is: “the process of singling out a small parcel of land for a use classification totally different from that of the surrounding area for the benefit of the owner of such property and to the detriment of other owners.”

This example of spot zoning will create many conflicts for existing residents in the area, all while Glendale profits.

To be a good neighbor, the city of Glendale should reject spot zoning and embrace the 2016 development plan.

Stay connected, stay local at Ottawa U

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

With the COVID-19 pandemic still dominating the world, high school graduates and transfer students may choose to stay closer to home to continue their studies this fall.

Encouraging students to “Stay Connected, Stay Local,” Ottawa University-Arizona (OUAZ) wants these bright young minds to consider its Surprise campus at 15950 N. Civic Center Plaza.

“We are preparing all necessary precautions to host students at our brandnew residential campus in Surprise, which also has emergency services on site,” said Dr. Brian Sandusky, OUAZ’s chief enrollment officer.

“Students may want to stay close to home, and we want them to know about their opportunities here with us.

We have new facilities on our campus, which opened in fall 2019. It’s an exciting time for us here in Surprise.”

Founded in 1865, Ottawa University is a nonprofit, private liberal arts university with its original residential campus in Ottawa, Kansas. The professional campus in Phoenix has been educating adult learners in the Valley for more than 40 years and boasts more than 8,000 alumni.

Surprise is home to Ottawa University’s second residential campus.

Housing at OUAZ features a new residence hall with suite-style, fully furnished rooms. Amenities include cable television and a 55-inch, wall-mounted TV, laundry facilities, student lounges and a game room. Scholars Hall accommodates more than 300 students.

Ottawa University offers housing awards for students who hail from the West Valley—Avondale, Buckeye, Deer Valley, El Mirage, Goodyear, Glendale, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Sun City West, Tolleson, Surprise, Waddell, Whitman and Youngtown.

“We believe a fully rounded educa-

tional experience for students includes residential living,” Sandusky said.

Students who stay in university housing for six semesters, or three years, are eligible for 50% off their graduate tuition rate while studying at OUAZ Surprise.

“We want to bring value to our community and our alumni, and this is one example of that mission,” Sandusky said.

Two other new buildings are part of the OUAZ campus. The student union includes a state-of-the-art dining center, an entertainment lounge with an indoor/ outdoor fireplace, a fan shop, a mailroom, classrooms and a banquet hall. It is also home to the new Adawe Center mentorship program, which is designed to help students be successful in their college experience. The new O’Dell Center houses the university’s athletic facilities, fitness and recreational center, Faith Arena, facility and athletic offices, additional classrooms and laboratories.

OUAZ offers a variety of majors.

Top majors include biology, business, Christian studies and ministry, communication, early childhood education, elementary education, engineering, exercise science, human resources, leadership and management, psychology, secondary education and sport studies.

Preparing for a life of significance: personal growth days Ottawa University is committed to developing students to be work ready and world ready upon graduation. Personal Growth Days (PGDs) consist of three important components: Spirit Life, a worship and speaker series; Network Lunch, a community lunch on campus; and Student Development Courses, a series of life- and workskills workshops.

“Our chancellor, Dr. Kevin Eich-

ner, came up with the idea of limiting classes on Wednesdays to allow for our PGDs,” Sandusky said.

“We have a variety of guest speakers, such as community- or faith-based leaders. The Wednesday workshops provide students with work-readiness skills, like resume writing and interviewing. Students need those skills.

There’s a focus on world-readiness skills, too. That can be how to buy a house, how to budget, business dinner etiquette, and even changing a tire.”

Ottawa University prides itself on being a “participatory campus.” Students participate in academic clubs, competitive club sports and varsity athletics. For example, students who participate in the business club gain real-world business experience outside the classroom, while receiving a significant scholarship to help them.

“We have ACT, SAT and GPA scholarships, as well as scholarships for the academic and club sports,” Sandusky said.

“These are unique and lucrative scholarship opportunities for our students.”

Complementing OUAZ’s robust var-

sity athletic offerings are the university’s competitive club sports. Esports and badminton are starting in the fall.

Other programs include ultimate Frisbee, cycling, outdoor adventure, bowling and wrestling.

Class schedules that fit today’s student Gone are days of one-size-fits-all scheduling, and OUAZ offers an innovative alternative.

“Our exclusive FlexTerm scheduling is one of our biggest distinguishing features,” Sandusky said. “It has been well received by students.”

FlexTerm scheduling consists of classes offered in a four-, eight- or 16week term format. Students work with their faculty mentor to assist them with their course scheduling. This flexible format allows them time to study and participate in activities.

Visit ottawa.edu/ouaz to learn more about OUAZ’s programming and scholarships.

So next semester, remember to “Stay Connected, Stay Local.”

Business Briefcase

BY KATHERINE CAMBERG West Valley View Staff Writer

As more and more businesses in Arizona reopen, the Avondale Main Event opened its doors Friday, May 22.

Avondale’s house of games features 26 bowling lanes, video games, laser tag, gravity ropes, billiards and shuffleboard.

Main Events around the Valley closed in mid-March due to concerns surrounding COVID-19. Following the guidance of local and state authorities, they are returning with new enhanced health and safety measures.

“The health and safety of our team and customers is our top concern while reopening,” Maine Event CEO Chris Morris said.

New measures include enhanced sanitation measures for equipment, markers to promote social distancing at different activities, and the inclusion of sanitation stations throughout the facilities. Masks and gloves will also be available for guests who would prefer to use them.

Employees will have daily temperature checks and are required to wear masks.

Main Event, which is a popular place for hosting group events, also plans on reducing group size for reservations and limiting guest capacity in its centers to ensure better social distancing.

Following Gov. Doug Ducey’s announcements that businesses in Arizona may begin to reopen, Main Event implemented a new plan called “Play Smart, Play Safe” to adapt its facilities for social distancing.

As new safety measures have been put in place, Main Event has been soliciting feedback from customers.

“The feedback has been a majority positive, and people are excited to be back,” Morris said.

Morris added he hopes “families will be able to enjoy their time at Main Event and strengthen their bonds that they have built over the past few months.”

For more information, visit mainevent.com.

EOS Fitness also reopened all 22 Valleywide locations last week, also with enhanced sanitizing and social distancing guidelines EOS Fitness has centers in Goodyear, Avondale, Peoria and Glendale (three locations).

New law proposed to make suing businesses harder

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

State representatives voted May 22 along party lines to put new hurdles in the path of people suing businesses, churches and schools over COVID-19 claims.

HB 2912 would immunize defendants against lawsuits if their actions or inactions that resulted in someone contracting the virus were merely negligent.

Instead, victims or their survivors could sue only if they could show someone was grossly negligent, a standard that Rep. Aaron Lieberman, D-Phoenix, said amounts to willful misconduct.

“I support lawsuits,’’ Rep. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, said during a hearing on the measure earlier in the day. But he said businesses need protections against threats designed to get them to settle out of court.

“And they need to know when they open their doors that there are not going to be these trial attorneys out there lining their pockets and going door to door and filing these, in my opinion, frivolous

lawsuits,’’ Kern said.

What that change also may be is illegal.

In fact, Tim Fleming, the House attorney, advised lawmakers that it could run afoul of a constitutional provision which prohibits lawmakers from limiting the rights of victims to sue for damages.

But Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, said the protection is necessary to help restore the state economy.

“There’s a great cloud of fear that hangs over the business community about being sued,’’ he said.

“It’s slowing down their efforts to go back and open, to get their employees back, to get everybody working, get tax revenue back in to fund programs,’’ Kavanagh said. “And this will go a long way to alleviating that fear.’’

He said the bill will do more than prevent lawsuits.

“We’re trying to prevent extortion by unscrupulous lawyers,’’ Kavanagh said, filing claims “not to go to court but with the express intent of basically extracting settlements of $3,000, $4,000, which is about half of what the business would have needed to defend the lawsuit.’’

Kavanagh wasn’t the only one seeking to capitalize on the animosity of some toward attorneys as a reason to support the liability limits.

But Rep. Domingo DeGrazia, D-Tucson, said it would be one thing for lawmakers to say businesses that follow specific guidance from the Centers for Disease Control or the Occupational

AUTO INJURY CARE

Safety and Health Administration would gain some liability protection. HB 2912, he said, does not do that.

“With this bill, if you are negligent, you have no liability,’’ DeGrazia said.

“By raising the standard to ‘gross negligence,’ you are saying that if you are negligent there is not a claim that can be made against you.’’

And he asked colleagues if that’s the message they’re trying to send.

“Do you want to look at your constituents and say, ‘Yeah, it’s OK for businesses to be negligent about COVID-19’?”

DeGrazia said.

Rep. Athena Salman, D-Tempe, said there are risks to people.

“If a customer eats at a restaurant that does not take sanitary precautions and they get the virus, it would be almost impossible to prove that the restaurant is liable and that customer would have no recourse,’’ she said. Ditto, Salman said, situations where a nursing home is not following safety procedures and a resident contracts COVID-19.

House Majority Leader Warren Petersen, R-Gilbert, dismissed those concerns.

“This absolutely allows redress,’’ he said. “It just has a different standard.’’

Some of the votes for the measure were based on another, semi-related provision that Kavanagh inserted. It would reduce the penalty for violating any emergency order issued by the governor from the current misdemeanor—with a potential six-month jail term and $2,500 fine—to just a $100 civil penalty. And offenders even could escape that by curing the violation before going to court.

It also would eliminate the possibility that a business that ignored an executive

order could lose its license.

Gov. Doug Ducey used the threat of both the criminal penalty and loss of license to try to get compliance with the executive orders he issued in March shuttering certain kinds of businesses. That bothered Rep. John Fillmore, R-Apache Junction.

“When the government can say that you have to close up shop or they will take your license for trying to feed your family, for trying to provide for your workers, your employees and the people that you have known for many years, then there’s something wrong, radically, drastically wrong,’’ he said.

And Rep. Walt Blackman, R-Snowflake, objected to rural businesses being dictated to “from the big state of Maricopa.”

“Please don’t tell us how to live our lives,’’ he said.

Despite the House approval, the future of the measure is unclear.

State senators earlier this month approved a resolution saying they were finished with their business for this session and were ready to go home. But since they cannot do that without House approval, the Senate technically remains in recess.

Senate President Karen Fann told Capitol Media Services that no decision has been made whether senators, who have never considered the issues in HB 2913, are willing to come back to vote on it.

There’s also the question of whether Ducey will sign the measure.

He dodged questions earlier this week about both whether he thinks businesses need new liability protections and whether he will approve a measure that limits the penalties that can be imposed for violating his executive orders.

Coyotes lead blood drive at Gila River Arena

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Aiming to rebuild shortages, the Arizona Coyotes and Gila River Arena are partnering with Vitalant and Streets of New York to host a community blood drive from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, and Thursday, May 28, at Gila River Arena.

To ensure social distancing is in place, donors are recommended to

make an appointment at vitalant.org/ coyotes prior to the event date and will be required to bring and wear a mask.

Donors will enter Gila River Arena at the far east door of Gate 4. Parking will be available in Lot G on the east side of the arena.

Coach Rick Tocchet and star Coyotes Brad Richardson and Jason De-

mers will also be donating blood.

Due to safety measures implemented because of the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of blood drives across Arizona were canceled over the past two months.

In appreciation for helping during this crucial time for patients, the blood drive sponsors are expressing their gratitude with the following thank-you

gifts for donors: • One complimentary ticket, subject to a $5 facility fee, for a designated 2020-21 Coyotes home game once the schedule is released.

• Voucher for a slice of cheese pizza and a Pepsi, courtesy of Streets of New York.

• Entry into a raffle for a 2019-20 Coyotes team signed stick.

High-security veteran overcomes cancer, graduates from ASU

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Few of the thousands of recent Arizona college graduates have the work experience and life skills of Justin Sanchez of Litchfield Park.

Two weeks ago, he virtually walked across the stage to earn a Bachelor of Science in emergency management and homeland security from Arizona State University.

Not long after enrolling at ASU, the military veteran was diagnosed with cancer. Despite this, he kept going and managed to beat the disease, all while juggling his responsibilities as a dad to his son Liam, being a student at ASU and working full time as a senior nuclear security officer.

Sanchez, raised in Peoria and a graduated from Sunrise Mountain High School, is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.

He works at the Arizona Public Service (APS) Palo Verde Generating Station “There are many things involved in my job that are considered safeguards,” he said. “What this means is that you must have a ‘Need to Know’ to get some of this information. What

I can tell you is that I work with a great group of individuals from all different walks of life.

“Our primary job is to protect the health and welfare of the public, APS/Palo Verde employees and the power plant itself from nuclear sabotage. We do this in many different ways, from screening employees coming to work, just like you would go through at the airport, and various patrols.”

He said the Tonopah facility has frequent trainings.

“I love my job and take great pride in what I do, especially right now during the COVID-19 crisis. We help keep the lights on and have continued to work day and night through all the risk.

“The plant is a great place to work, and I don’t regret a single day in my 11 years out there.”

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

Avondale honors grads

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The city of Avondale is inviting high school and college seniors to take part in the Faces of Avondale Graduate Recognition.

“The Class of 2020 will forever share a special bond, and we hope they will remember that the community and the city of Avondale came together to recognize and honor them in a unique way,” said Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise. “In most cases, this year’s graduates will miss, or at the very least, have to wait on commencement and other ceremonies. We want to offer them another way to be recognized as they continue their life’s journey.”

Parents, teachers and the graduates themselves are encouraged to post their graduation photos on Instagram, using the hashtag #FacesofAvondale2020Grads.

This special hashtag will allow the photos to feed into a platform on the city’s website and will be widely shared.

The Faces of Avondale 2020 Grad Recognition Program is at avondaleaz.gov/grads and on social platforms.

A montage of photos submitted will be shared on Avondale social media platforms, and on Channel 11 and will be featured all summer.
