Goodyear mayor receives honorary degree

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

When Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord found out Franklin Pierce University wanted to bestow her an honorary degree, she had one question.

“I asked, ‘Why?’” Lord said. “It’s not something you get asked to do every day.

They wanted to make sure I would accept it.

“This is a once-in-a-lifetime event. I respect the university. We’ve had a great relationship for quite some time. I appreciate the recognition, but this is really a recognition of the city and the councilmembers.

I accepted under the auspices of the city.”

The Rindge, New Hampshire-based Franklin Pierce University has a campus at 14455 W. Van Buren Street, Building A, Suite 100, in Goodyear.

President Dr. Kim Mooney and Provost James W. DuMond Jr. awarded honorary degrees to a visionary New England business leader and two mayors of cities that are home to Franklin Pierce University graduate and professional studies centers beyond the Rindge campus. Lord was one of the mayors.

Joyce H. Craig, the 48th mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire, and the first

woman to hold the office, received a Doctor of Public Administration in recognition of her efforts to improve employment and quality of life in the state’s largest city through collaboration with businesses and universities.

Lord received a Doctor of Public Administration in honor of the impact of her energy and vision on the people and sustainable future of one of the fastest-growing cities in the country.

Publisher James R. Trowbridge, president and CEO of Yankee Publishing in Dublin, New Hampshire, received a Doctor of Humane Letters in recognition of his leadership transforming a venerable family-owned business into a 21st century media enterprise.

The Honorable Walter R. Peterson Citizen Leader Award was presented to Martha R. Pappas, Ed.D., a writer, educator and philanthropist who has spent her life working to improve the health, education and well-being of young people and their families in communities throughout New England.

Some WV library fines for late books eliminated

BY CECILIA CHAN

West Valley View Staff Writer

Patrons at three West Valley libraries will no longer have to pay a fine if they forget to return a book on time.

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to eliminate overdue fines for items such as books, magazines and DVDs at its public libraries. The

county is the first to do so in Arizona.

“I’m supportive of this because we should be encouraging people to read, especially as we go into the summer right now,” Chairman Bill Gates said at the meeting. “It’s an innovative approach. After this passes, there should be no excuse not to be reading in Maricopa County.”

The revised fine schedule is in effect in

“Franklin Pierce has been around since 2008,” she said. “They hung in during the downturn when the rest of the schools left because they couldn’t sustain themselves during that really tragic time,” she said.

farm the students to different medical groups around the city and Phoenix area so they actually practice.”

Lord said she hopes Franklin Pierce University will have its own building at some point. She enjoyed being on its New Hampshire campus.

“It was magnificent,” she said. “It’s surrounded by trees.

“In Michigan, where I’m from, we have a lot of water there. They have lakes with no names because there’s so much water there. That part was very pleasant.”

At the New Hampshire campus, all of the students live there, which, Lord said, lent to a “totally different atmosphere during graduation.”

“As each student came up to get their degree, all the young people would cheer them on and yell things,” said Lord, who attended Michigan State University and Lansing Community College. “The entire group became very close. It gave me a more intimate feeling of the relations of the university.”

Lord’s family came with her, which

made the honorary degree ceremony “very meaningful.

“It’s really hard for me — and I think any mayor or councilperson — and it made me very torn,” she said. “I didn’t do this alone. There’s a big team here (at the city). I was really excited about the honorary degree, but I do feel like I’ve been helped by everyone here at city hall.

“The staff, the mayor when I was on the council, and the city managers all helped me represent the city of Goodyear.”

were needing it the most.”

To back up that statement, he pointed to the library in Guadalupe, where 67% of the town’s third-graders are not proficient in reading and 69% of the population is 200% below the poverty level.

About 15% of the whole area is blocked by overdue fines, Reeder said.

Library officials found overdue fines disproportionately affected juvenile cardholders — 18% of active patrons hold juvenile cards and 28% of blocked users hold juvenile cards.

The thinking is if overdue fines are eliminated, people can use library material and services without the fear of

incurring fines they can’t afford to pay.

Reeder said late fees make up less than 1% of the district’s total revenue intake. The district’s budget this fiscal year is approximately $30 million.

“In 2018, we collected around $300,000 in overdue fines,” Reeder said.

He added the district has been seeing overdue fine revenue dropping each year anyway due to more people checking out digital material, which expires and therefore doesn’t accrue overdue fines.

Circulation numbers for fiscal year 2017-18 logged 6.7 million in print material checked out compared with 1.8 million for electronic resources, according to Reeder.

The district’s fiscal year 2020 budget will make up the revenue loss through other funding sources, according to county officials.

Before the fines’ elimination, 5% of the district’s 136,666 active library cardholders were blocked because of overdue fines. And 80% of those fines

were less than $50. Fines included 20 cents a day for a book to $1 a day for a DVD that was late.

Although library patrons will no longer receive a daily fine on late items, they will still be charged a fee if an item is lost or damaged.

“At the end of the day, our need is to get our stuff back,” Reeder said.

Libraries will first send out three overdue notices before mailing a bill after 31 days.

Any account with fines or fees of $10 or more will lose borrowing and computer-use privileges.

Any account that has a total over $50 and over 60 days will be referred to a collections agency.

Reeder said officials have been talking about removing late fines for some time.

“We are not the first in the country to do this,” he said. “This has been done in other places in the country with great success.”

He provided a list of 52 library systems that have moved to zero late fines.

There are many more that have eliminated some fines such as for children, Reeder added.

Libraries that have done away with late fines saw an increase in return rates, according to the district.

Library Journal reported in 2017 that a number of libraries nationwide were either eliminating charges for late returns or creating fine-free cards for certain groups of patrons such as children, teens or active-duty military personnel.

Despite the growing trend, a majority of libraries still relied on fines and fees for revenue, according to the publication.

A journal survey in 2017 of 454 libraries found about 14% of borrowed materials are returned late, with patrons in larger library systems slightly more likely to return items after their due date.

MAXIMO AGUILAR LAWLOR West Valley View Staff Writer

With the sun being an endless source in Arizona, Saddle Mountain Unified School District partnered with APS earlier this year to install solar panels at Tonopah Valley High School.

An array of 770-kilowatt solar panels was implemented at Tonopah Valley.

Dr. Paul Tighe, the district’s superintendent, said the partnership is something from which both parties will gain. “(The project) is part of a unique partnership with APS — they call it ‘Solar Communities Program,’” Tighe said. “There is kind of a win-win situation where they put the (solar) panels in at no expense to the district, and through a 20-year agreement we give them a place to put them without buying land or renting space.”

He continued, “(APS) expends their solar network, which is good for the environment, and (Tonopah Valley High School) gets covered parking, which will help our employees and student vehicles as well as extend the life of the asphalt in the parking lot.”

The Solar Communities Program is targeted at customers with limited income streams as well as moderate-income customers who want to access rooftop solar energy. Lily Quezada, a spokeswoman for APS, said the program goes beyond residential customers, however.

“The program also includes a limited number of projects for Title I schools, nonprofits, multifamily housing and government entities throughout the state,” Quezada said.

The school district applied to the Solar Communities Program last fall, and Tonopah Valley was one of the few sites APS selected. Tighe said the application process went beyond just filling out forms.

“They did come and do site visits and reviewed blueprints, so the application wasn’t just what we submitted,” Tighe said. “It was (APS) following up with a site visit and inspections of equipment, looking at the layout, where they would have to dig things up, how much site work was needed and how good the site was for an array (of solar panels).”

Solar energy is increasing in popularity with residents, schools and businesses, and Saddle Mountain Unified School District is no exception.

Tighe said district officials are willing to make the transition for all locations.

“Certainly through this kind of program, I’ve offered that we would be happy to host (solar panels) at all of our sites — we have plenty of parking lots still available,” Tighe said.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds, the transition to solar energy comes with obstacles.

“I don’t believe that the district at the time would have the funding to invest in purchasing or leasing our own solar panels, so at this point our plans would be to keep looking for opportunities with this kind of program with APS,” Tighe said.

Currently, APS is collaborating with different Ar-

izona-based solar installers to advance Arizona’s solar leadership and impact.

Quezada said the drive for APS is to make solar power more accessible to all.

“We want to make sure that we advance (solar energy) in every part of the state — not only to customers who can afford it themselves — but also to the other groups who may have never thought they could have solar on their

rooftops,” Quezada said.

The solar panels bring more energy than the school would need to consume in a sunny day, according to Tighe.

Tonopah Valley High School has all the panels up, but the project is still in its final stages, as of print time. After some finishing touches on the wiring, the solar panels will be up and running just in time for the 2019-20 school year.

Pushed by development, costs, citrus shrinks in state economy

BY SARABETH HENNE Cronkite News

On a brisk March morning, the engine of Selwyn Justice’s truck roared to life as he turned out of his driveway onto Peoria Avenue in Waddell, heading toward Surprise.

On a dirt road 15 minutes later, a cloud of dust was billowing behind him as a citrus orchard came into view.

It was about 60 degrees and the morning sun drenched the trees as Justice, 30, a fourth-generation Arizona farmer, paused at the entrance of the orchard.

“We’re a vestige of the past here,” he said, digging the toe of his boot into the dirt. “Maricopa County’s presence in the citrus market is declining.”

A lot has changed since his family opened its ranch in 1928.

Between urban development, drought and disease, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that the number of citrus farms in Arizona has declined by about 40% just since 2012 — only 317 farms remained as of a USDA report in 2017.

Once considered foundational to the Arizona economy as one of the “Five

Cs” — citrus, cattle, copper, cotton and climate (for the state’s tourism industry) — citrus now accounts for far less than 1% of the state’s $23 billion agricultural economy. In 2010, the last packing facility in Mesa, Sunkist, closed due to low levels of production.

The reduction, according to Justice, is the result of changing water costs

and availability for water-intensive crops like citrus and cotton, of climate change and of the development of hundreds of citrus farms into urban sprawl.

The USDA said national citrus production declined by about 50% between the 2007-2008 and the 2017-2018 seasons. About 6 million tons of citrus were produced in the United States in the latter period: Florida accounted for 36%, California 59%, and Texas and Arizona made up the final 5%.

As he looked at his orchards, Justice was joined around midmorning by a few thousand free citrus workers: the honeybees, who sleep in late. Citrus is generally self-pollinating, so the bees are welcome as helpers, but, for the most part, the trees do more for the bees than the bees do for the trees. In a marginal economic situation, however, the extra help is welcomed by growers.

Besides, Justice said, “there are certain varieties that produce better with cross pollination” from bees.

Glenn Wright, a citrus expert at the University of Arizona Cooperative Extension, agreed.

“Most citrus varieties don’t need bees — they are self-pollinating, a phenomenon known as parthenocarpy,” Wright said.

Parthenocarpy, the development and growth of fruit without prior fertilization, is common in citrus produce, but that doesn’t mean pollination is a lost cause. Pollination can still be important for some varieties, including mandarin oranges.

Cahit Ozturk is a research technologist at Arizona State University’s Honey Bee Research Lab in Mesa. He said having a few honeybee colonies near

citrus orchards can contribute to crop quality and to the quantity of fruit.

“If the plant, either fruit or vegetable, has pollen or nectar, it means they need pollinators for better production,” Ozturk said in an email.

And even for the trees that do fine on their own, Justice is happy for the bees.

“They get to cruise around and collect pollen and have a good time out here, especially in the winter months,” Justice said. “It’s kind of a layover.”

On weekend mornings, Justice is awake by 6 a.m. and is at the orchard by 7:30. On a good day, he leaves by 4 p.m. The honeybees, in dozens of white box hives in a shaded clearing, take off work about the same time.

While the future may seem bleak, Justice sees a future for Arizona citrus.

For one thing, people like it. Also, the growing popularity of “pick-your-own produce” farms lets some farmers go directly for retail dollars.

Justice operates the longest continuously operated citrus orchard in the state. But the family just finished the second year of sales at Justice Brothers U-Pick on a former University of Arizona research grove that it acquired in 2016.

The ranch grows dozens of varieties of citrus, from oranges and grapefruit to pomelos and kumquats. Dozens of customers show up at the orchard each weekend to pick their own fruit. “(It’s) about as personal as people get through picking the fruit,” Justice said.

And each morning of the season, which runs roughly from December to April in Arizona, he walks down the uniform citrus rows, picking grapefruits, oranges and lemons, and then swings a full bag over his shoulder like Santa Claus.

“The nice thing about farming is you get to see the literal fruits of your labor,” he said. “I can come out and look at the orchard and say, ‘Yeah, I did a good job this year.’”

Avondale police plan to expand workspace in fall 2020 MAXIMO AGUILAR LAWLOR West Valley View Staff Writer

A project Avondale Police Chief Dale Nannenga called long overdue is finally coming to fruition, as space in their building is struggling to withstand the resources they need to be fully functional.

Recently, Avondale City Council voted in favor of expanding the police department building, and since then much progress has been made.

“This (expansion) has been planned for a number of years, and finally we have reached a point where we are able to secure the funding to expand the police property and evidence room for the city,” Nannenga said.

“The one goal was always to expand, but as time went on we’re actually looking at expanding more for other office areas as well.”

Police occupy around 3,000 to 4,000 square feet, but the new building will be around 12,000 square feet, according to Nannenga.

City Council included the cost for this expansion in the 2020 fiscal year budget earlier this year, and Nannenga said recent progress would not have been made without the support of city officials.

“The city manager and the City Council (have) made a commitment to get us this space, which has been needed for so long,” Nannenga said.

The major push for this expansion is due to the lack of space in evidence rooms. Additionally, many people don’t

realize how long evidence, by law, needs to be stored, according to Nannenga.

“There are many items that we are required to keep at least 99 years while the case is being done, even after conviction,” Nannenga said.

“There’s also many cases that we’re required to retain that evidence even if there is no suspect known.

Certain types of crimes like homicide and certain sex crimes were required to retain that evidence almost indefinitely.

“We have more officers than we’ve had 15 years ago, so just natural mathematics show that we’re storing more items and having to store more items longer than we’ve ever had to before.

We’re reaching the point where the current storage area is not sufficient anymore.”

Also, the evidence room will be repurposed. This is especially exciting for Nannenga.

“It gives us the opportunity to have things we have never had before — an expanded briefing area; we’re able to expand other work areas in the department,” Nannenga said.

“Now everywhere is pretty much full. We hardly have any empty cubicles in our building, so almost the entire building will be redesigned and give us that ability to plan.”

City Council has yet to vote on selecting a construction manager at risk.

Construction will begin in January, while the building is expected to be up and running by fall 2020.

RFVD grieves over loss of retired deputy chief

BY ANDREA ESTRADA

West Valley View Staff Writer

The fire family at the Rio Verde Fire District (RVFD) is grieving the loss of a former deputy chief.

Eric Merrill, 59, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who recently retired after 40 years in the fire/EMS service, died in a car accident over Memorial Day weekend.

Merrill was driving northbound on Palo Verde Road in Buckeye when a vehicle going eastbound on Yuma Road T-boned his truck. Merrill’s son was also involved in the crash and suffered nonlife-threatening injuries.

“It’s believed from the initial investigation that the car traveling eastbound ran the stop sign, and that’s how the collision occurred,” said Donna Rossi, a spokeswoman for the Buckeye Police Department.

Rossi noted the tragic irony behind the death of Merrill — who spent the last 15 years of his career working at the RVFD, which serves the Verdes communities and surrounding areas.

“The irony is that he drove past Scottsdale every day for the last 15 years — and he loses his life a couple blocks

alongside Merrill for 20 years, also calls the accident ironic.

He said Memorial Day weekend will never be the same for him.

“It’s ironic that he was a guy who had six years as a Marine, honorably discharged, and all those years providing paramedic service to the communities all across the Valley; and we lose him on Memorial Day weekend,” Ducote said.

Ducote remembers Merrill as his right-hand man who paved the way for a lot of opportunities at the RFVD. “Rio Verde Fire District was one of the first agencies to get what’s called a ‘Premier EMS Agency of Arizona.’ That is given through the Department of Health Services, and there’s Eric Merrill, 59, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who rea few benchmarks you need for cently retired after 40 years in the fire/EMS service, that — electronic patient care died in a car accident over Memorial Day weekend. reporting; good documenta(Photo courtesy Buckeye Police Department) tion; CQI,” Ducote explained. from his home. It’s just a horrible trage- “Eric is the one who ran that and got us dy, two weeks after retiring,” Rossi said. that significant honor at DHS.” Fire Chief Jay Ducote, who worked Ducote added because of their trust

in Merrill, the Mayo Clinic Hospital — RFVD’s base hospital — worked with the district on “new and exciting” projects and programs.

“Just because we were a small fire district, he didn’t hold back,” he said.

And in regard to his knowledge of paramedicine, Ducote said Merrill knew the answer to everything.

“He was a great mentor; a great teacher for all of our paramedics. You never saw him get angry. He was very calm — even when he was a paramedic and we’d get on those bad car accidents,” Ducote said.

“Always soothing, just put everybody in their place. There was a way about him that we’re going to miss.”

An investigation and accident reconstruction is ongoing. Charges and prosecution decisions will be determined by the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office when the Buckeye Police Department completes its report.

Merrill is survived by his wife and two adult children.

A GoFundMe page was set up to support the Merrill family. To make a donation, visit gofundme.com/f/rvfd-eric-merrill-family-fund.

Buckeye letting residents comment on taxation

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The city of Buckeye is holding a public hearing at its regularly scheduled City Council meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, June 18, so residents can comment on the property taxes the city collected from one fiscal year to the next.

Buckeye City Hall is at 530 E. Monroe Avenue.

The primary property tax on a $100,000 home will remain at $180, as it has for the past six years. This

is $10.95 over the truth in taxation amount of $169.05.

Buckeye’s total revenue from its primary property taxes will increase more than $543,271, a 6.48% increase over last year. The increase is due to the rise in the net assessed property values of residential homes within Buckeye.

This proposed tax does not include any primary property taxes received from new construction, any changes that may occur from property tax levies, or vot-

er-approved bonds or budget and tax overrides.

The public hearing is open for comment to all Buckeye residents. Residents can complete a comment card to provide input on the proposed property tax agenda item. The city council agenda and council packet will be available by the close of business on June 18 at buckeyeaz.gov/meetings-minutes.

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

Abrazo West Campus is leading a community cereal drive to provide healthy breakfasts for area families struggling with hunger this summer.

Donations of healthy cereal to benefit local food banks will be accepted from June 7 through June 14 at Abrazo West Campus, 13677 W. McDowell Road, as part of Abrazo’s Healthy Over Hungry cereal drive.

The effort will benefit the Agua Fria and All Faith Community Services food banks.

“Families in need often turn to food banks for help during summer when children can no longer rely on their school meals for a nutritious breakfast,” said Christina Oh, chief executive officer, Abrazo West Campus.

Whole-grain cereal, when part of a healthy, balanced breakfast including dairy, fruit and lean protein, is a popular food item that experts say can eas-

ily address the hunger gap during the summer months when children are not in school.

“We recognize the importance of beginning each day with a nutritious breakfast and, through this drive, we hope to help those in our community struggling with food insecurity,” Oh said.

Donations through Abrazo West’s cereal drive in 2018 provided the equivalent of 16,333 servings of healthy cereal to local families. The hospital will hold a cereal eating contest with employees and volunteers to kick on this year’s cereal drive.

The Healthy Over Hungry Cereal Drive is supported by Abrazo Health’s parent organization, Tenet Healthcare, which last year collected some 5 million servings of cereal and donated $380,000 through the efforts of its facilities across the United States.

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

KIRK’S OPINION — The Toledo Blade

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Clarifying socialism and communism Editor: The May 15 West Valley View printed only two letters — both were attacks on some Democrats running for president.

Do these letters express the views of all people in the West Valley or were they only two letters submitted that week?

Some response is warranted.

The writers mistakenly equate socialism with communism. Both are political and economic systems that promote equality, but in socialist societies each person chooses his or her own path in life and spends whatever wealth they acquire however he or she wants.

Private citizens, not the government, own and operate the means of production. So the references to the Soviet Union are irrelevant — no Democrats are espousing communism.

In the United States, Medicare, Social Security and public education are forms of socialism. Which of these should we do away with? We have a capitalist system that rewards those who are hard working, lucky, smart, devious or born to the right parents. Thus, there is risk of a large gap between those at the top and those near the bottom of the economic ladder.

A writer mentioned the tax disparity, but in a misleading way. Yes, the wealthiest 5% of all U.S. income taxpayers pay 90% of federal income tax revenue, but, in fact, those numbers reflect the amount of wealth that group controls. The recent Trump tax cut benefits the richest individuals more than the average taxpayer by a large margin. In another example, the repeal of the estate tax last year helped those who inherit up to $22 million from paying an inheritance or “death tax” on assets that have often never been taxed. Trump’s golden rule is: “Those who have the gold make the rules.”

Studies have shown the U.S. health care system is the most costly, but does not rank in the top 10 for quality of care.

Big Pharma and insurance companies don’t mind, but those of us struggling

with health care costs should mind.

Countries such as Canada, Spain, Australia and Denmark deliver better care for less cost. One writer suggested that the government of Finland “collapsed” due to the cost of socialized medicine, but what really happened is the center-right prime minister and his cronies resigned a month before scheduled elections when his attempts to limit health care failed.

Note: Years ago, Bernie Sanders praised the advances in health care and education in Cuba under Fidel Castro, but he did not praise communism or the authoritarian government.

Free college tuition? It has paid off nicely for Germany, Ireland and several other countries. Meanwhile, Mr. Trump’s policies have created a $2 trillion deficit in about two years, none of it benefiting our educational or wellness programs.

Sadly, our president attacks our courts, intelligence agencies, minorities, women, journalists and allies. He has been caught in lies and misleading statements in public over 10,000 times.

He inherited an improving economic and employment situation and falsely claims credit for starting it. Yet many people support him, perhaps because their minds are damaged by the constant lies of Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Fox “News.”

Thank you for giving space to “the other side” of these issues.

John Flynn Goodyear

Civil discourse going down the tubes Editor: I have been a reader of the West Valley View for decades, and the Letters to the Editor section is one of my first stops. It used to be a great way to get the pulse of the West Valley. Now, a few people have seemingly taken over the LTE section, and not in a good way. Name-calling, spiteful invective and alternate facts rule the day. It is rather scary realizing the people who author these missives actually believe the tripe they write (although

it does explain a lot).

So, a public question, which I hope you print. In recent LTEs, Mr. Logan and others have taken to calling members of the party they do not support “Democraps.” Those authors are certainly entitled to think that way, although it’s disturbing to realize that’s as eloquent as they can be. I suppose when the president acts that way on a daily basis his supporters will mirror his actions. It would seem that as fewer Americans complete a rigorous education, the quality of discussion dissipates and ends with name-calling and general denigrative behavior.

I believe the West Valley View demeans itself when it publishes letters of that sort. It goes to the heart of my question, which is: Would it be OK for members of the other party (the non-Republicans) to publicly refer to them as “Rethuglicans?” And if so, would you print it? Free speech comes with responsibility. If people who use such terms when writing letters for publication believe it within their purview to freely use pejoratives, don’t be surprised when others take umbrage and direct it back at you.

And for the record, as well as being a veteran, I have been an independent voter for more than 30 years.

Judy M. Clark Buckeye

Message to our capitalist reader, Mr. Logan of Buckeye Editor: You seem to confuse social democracy or democratic socialism with communism. You likely subscribe to the Red Scare mentality and falsely associate socialism with communism, when they are in fact not the same at all.

While they both aim to reduce social inequalities, communism employs the theory that there are no social classes and that the workers control the means of production and receive compensation based on the need to create a single, equal amount of wealth for all citizens. Socialism is the idea that workers earn wages they can spend as they choose while the government owns and operates the means of production. Both theories differ still from democratic socialism.

You consider the left to be “progressive, liberal, leftwing nutcases,” which — the redundancy of that statement aside — is clearly a Fox News-driven attempt at an insult. Fox has conditioned its followers to associate “progressive,” “liberal” and “leftwing” to be trigger words, because if its followers were educated to understand the differences between the types of socialism, which you clearly are unable

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 5, 2019

to do, then perhaps they, like many others, would oppose a capitalistic society that has little to no regard for the wellbeing of its citizens.

Democratic socialism, which is the new face of the Democratic Party, is a political theory that endorses a capitalist economic policy with a commitment to eradicating inequality, oppression and poverty.

You seem to not have an issue with the capitalist part of democratic socialism since it is the same economic system the United States currently employs.

So, by process of elimination, it sounds like it is the eradicating of social injustices that offends you. The Republican Party, after all, has been quite good at convincing its sympathizers that the oppressed are the oppressors.

Eric Harper Buckeye

Definition of ‘Democrap’ Editor: I would like to respond to Dennis Wood’s May 8 letter entitled “Name-calling.”

The author should have proofread his letter because I surely detected quite a bit of name-calling created by himself. Tsk tsk! He also should have done his homework and looked up the word “Democrap.” The Urban Dictionary gives a few definitions, which I will gladly list, because it is a real word with a few definitions.

Democrap, as defined by the Urban Dictionary: A slang term used to convey the unmistakable (or unmistinkable) similarity between the Democratic Party’s espoused philosophy and ideals, and a bowel movement.

A warning that one has left the restroom in a state of olfactory distress.

Example 1: “If I’m financially successful, I should be punished by paying proportionally more in taxes than an individual of lower socioeconomic status. That’s a bunch of Democrap.”

Example 2: “Honey, you might want to stay out of the bathroom for a while.

I just took a Democrap.”

Definition of the word “Democrap:” When you have had liberal politics shoved down your throat so often you don’t know whether to poop or go blind.

Democraps: Wealthy elites, master media manipulators, master propagandists, affluent creeps, boldface liars.

These definitions are listed from 2003 to 2008 and still pertain to to-

day’s politics more than ever. I hope this clarifies things. You are welcome!

James Logan Buckeye

Name-calling hypocrisy Editor: I just read the letter to the editor in the May 8 edition of the West Valley View called “Name-calling” by Dennis Wood.

I agree with the author that name-calling is a problem, but as I read it I was amazed that the author first condemns and then uses this same tactic.

He built his case against name-calling by labeling those who engage in it as overcompensating for feelings of inferiority, developing delusions of grandeur, misinformed, mentally sick, lacking IQ, etc. He then applies most of these reasons to explain President Trump.

If he had stopped there, I would not have written this letter, but the misuse of logic and the blatant hypocrisy was just too much for me to ignore. After arguing for a link between name-calling and all sorts of personal problems, he then begins to name-call. He calls President Trump a “blowhard bully,” as well as other derogatory terms for others, such as “low-IQers” and “mudslingers.”

He ends the letter by quoting an old saying: “If the shoe fits, wear it.” In choosing this quote, did he not realize it describes his actions?

Perhaps we should all consider another quote: “Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.” Jesus Christ, in Matthew 7:4-5.

So what if claw games bite the hand that feeds them?

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ West Valley View Columnist

Here’s a simple, one-question test to determine whether you’re a realist or a dreamer: What do you believe when it comes to arcade games that offer gaudy prizes in return for a quarter or a buck?

If you think they’re games of skill and that you’ve got this, you’re a dreamer. If you think they’re rigged, you’re a realist — and absolutely right on the money.

I offer as proof the $1 million legal settlement reached recently between Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and a New Jersey game manufacturer by the name of the Betson Coin-Op Distributing Company.

Betson manufactures a fancy version of the old arcade claw game known as the Key Master Prize Redemption Machine, which at one point could be found in locations statewide.

The machine offered cool prizes like Sony PlayStations and iPads. All the player had to do was invest a dollar to use a joystick and a mechanical arm to guide a key into one of three locks.

The catch, according to the AG?

The Key Masters had been fitted with last second. an “auto-percentaging system” similar Rigging crane games constitutes a to casino slot machines.

Proof is in the pudding … sanctions, tariffs, warning other countries not to do anything to the United States “or else.” This guy is going to get us into another warring conflict and cause the American people to suffer, and he doesn’t even care how many American lives he is ruining, and is going to ruin.

Prices are going to continue to rise at a phenomenal rate (i.e., gas and all commodities). Even after all this, there are still the diehards who will vote for him again. This will just go to prove once again how the ignorant rule our country, and are doing anything but making America great again. (“I may not always be right, but I am never wrong” will be their motto.)

publicly so players understand the game is a long shot, whereas the Key Master and rigged claw games don’t advertise that you you’re being cheated.

Still, all these games share a common modus operandi. Like all cons, they play on dreamers’ tendency to seek as much as possible in reward in return for as little as possible in effort and investment.

Personally, on the rare occasions I’ve purchased lottery tickets, I’ve chalked it up as an entertainment expense.

Realists don’t play Powerball as an investment. We buy the tickets for the 30 seconds of thrills we get checking the numbers — on the off, off chance.

The same goes for claw games. Realists don’t play for the prize. We play for the 30 seconds of excitement generated by pursuing the prize.

I always assumed those games were rigged. Knowing for sure? That might be justice, but it also takes all the fun out of it.

How can some people have eyes, yet cannot see; how can they have ears, and yet do not hear? They don’t want to hear the truth because it will overturn their personal world and opinions.

This is called cognitive dissonance … you put your hands over your ears, shut your eyes and pretend the world will continue like you want it to … just shut out the truth so you won’t worry about it; at least you won’t worry until it kills you.

Hello, readers! And welcome back to the Briefcase. “What’s with all the hotels?” you may find yourself asking of the West Valley. After all, there have been quite a few as of late.

Well, that’s where I’ll start you off — as yet another hotel has broken ground in the region.

And although this week may seem a bit light on some of the heavy hitters beyond that major development, more leads are in the works behind the scenes regarding the Briefcase for next week.

But nevermind that for now. Let’s start with the big one.

First, My Place Hotels of America has unveiled its first Arizona location, which is under construction in

International youth soccer camp coming to Buckeye this June MAXIMO AGUILAR LAWLOR West Valley View Staff Writer

Buckeye’s Recreation Department has partnered with Challenger Sports to host a weeklong international soccer camp from June 10 to June 14.

Challenger Sports is a leading soccer camp company in North America and has been a provider of soccer camps for over 30 years. This year, the company launched its international soccer camps, which are intended to be innovative experiences that will “accelerate the learning process of young players,” according to its website.

Certified coaches from around the world will be at the event and, according to Sean Lines, account manager for Challenger Sports, each one will bring a coaching background that is unique to his or her respective country.

“We have coaches from multiple

countries — predominantly coaches from the United Kingdom, Brazil and the USA,” Lines said. Our coaches are professional coaches. They got their licenses back in their home country as well as over here with U.S. Soccer, so our coaches have a world full of knowledge.”

There are two age groups that players can sign up for: Tiny Tykes, ages 4-5; and Half Day, for ages 6-16.

Tiny Tykes is a one-hour session intended to be a fun introduction to the sport of soccer. The children will be taken on different “adventures” and will have fundamental soccer skills incorporated into their program.

The half-day program will include different stations for players, with each based off a different country and its strengths. For example, the Brazil station will work on technical and footwork, Spain will work on passing and moving and France will work on possession. Everyday, the Half Day program will end with a “World Cup” competition, where players will team up to compete against each other.

Lines also said the team is excited to use a new video-based coaching app that will help players progress their skills. “(The players) can watch videos and upload videos of themselves doing the skill, and then they can get virtually coached,” Lines said.

Campers who attend will receive a camp T-shirt, soccer ball, poster and personalized skills evaluation.

The Tiny Tykes program will be from 8 to 9 a.m. and costs $55 for Buckeye residents or $65 for nonresidents. The half-day program runs from 9 a.m. to noon and costs $65 for Buckeye residents or $85 for nonresidents.

Viper football looks to refuel under new coach

BY ERIC NEWMAN

West Valley View Staff Writer

Under new coach Shawn Copeland, things are looking up for Verrado football.

The Vipers lost six of their first seven games last season, and played to a final record of 4-6, the team’s first losing season since 2013.

Copeland, who previously coached at Raymond S. Kellis in Glendale, always appreciated Verrado’s program from afar, and now hopes to get the team back to its winning ways.

“When I moved out here and coached in Glendale, I knew there were some talented kids at Verrado. They have always had pretty high expectations of themselves. So that hasn’t really changed,” Copeland said.

One of the interesting position battles, starting early in the offseason in seven-on-seven passing-only tournaments, is at quarterback.

Senior Gillis Champagne and junior Dillon Hanson are likely the two top competitors for the starting spot this coming season.

The two both appreciate the chance in seven-on-seven play to develop chemistry with the Viper receivers, a group which is also up for question.

Verrado was already a run-heavy team with just intermittent passing in 2018, but the team’s top four passing targets graduated in 2018, leaving room for new players to step up.

With a new coach came a new offensive playbook, which Champagne believes will accelerate the passing game’s improvement, based on short, simple routes.

“It’s really kind of simplifying it for everyone. They make quick moves, and we get the ball out of our hands quickly, and let them go,” Champagne said.

Copeland said the receiving game is one of Verrado’s weakest spots.

He is hoping the players work hard and show improvement over the summer months.

“We’ll work on that because we definitely want to throw. But, that’s not the ultimate priority, because if we can defend and run the football, we’ll be

in good shape and that other stuff will come along with it,” Copeland said.

That defense could prove one of the team’s biggest strengths this year.

Though the defensive squad, without a pass rush and run defense in passing contests, cannot show its full power, it is clear the unit is ready to play solid together.

Players fly around the field, talk each other up and overall show a lot of energy, and the offensive players have taken notice.

“They’re playing so hard, and they are competing,” Hanson said.

“On offense, that motivates us playing against them in practice, and we’re hoping that can make us try like they do and play better Senior Gillis Champagne throws a pass in a Verrado seven-on-seven passing tournament. (West ourselves.”

Joints Feel Stuck?

Pop a Hemp Chuck Harvard doctor’s new pain-fighting breakthrough takes advantage of the new laws surrounding hemp - and it’s absolutely delicious.

US − As the rest of the country continues to drown themselves with painkillers, this doctor’s patients are taking something completely different − a fruit flavored treat.

“Sadly, adults tend to have extremely low cannabinoid levels, which is why they are in constant discomfort.

It’s called Endocannabinoid Deficiency if you want the real medical jargon.”

But not just any kind, explains Dr. Gregory Smith, the Harvard-trained MD. His kind are actually infused with Hemp Extract.

According to Smith, new legislation makes it legal to both produce and consume Hemp.

Smith’s breakthrough, Hemp Chucks, was formulated to boost cannabinoid levels extremely fast, helping relieve lingering joint discomfort ...muscle tension... and general soreness. It also eases stress and elicits amazing relaxation without feeling impaired.

“I was absolutely thrilled when I heard the Farm Bill passed. I’ve seen Hemp Extract do amazing things in the body, including easing pain. And now, a landslide of outside research confirms it”, explains Smith.

Clinical studies show that cannabinoids and the receptors that they bind to are found all over your body.

“The only hurdles we face are its delivery method.

The majority of Hemp Extract products are either liquid or pill form. Neither are ideal.”

However, they are most concentrated in your brain, which is why it has such a profound impact on how you feel, especially your level of comfort.

“The liquids are mess and taste horrible while the pills are incredibly hard to dose with, “ he adds.

His new product, Hemp Chucks, was inspired by these obstacles.

The delicious bites bring users back to their favorite childhood sweet.

Except instead of experiencing a sugar rush, users can experience eased pain plus a laundry list of other health benefits.

The secret? Potent pain-lowering compounds known as cannabinoids, which only exist in Hemp Extract.

The Close Cousin of Marijuana That Can’t Get You High One of the biggest mistakes people when talking about Hemp Extract is confusing it with its close cousin, marijuana.

Although the two fall under the same plant category, cannabis sativa, they have very different effects on the body.

The most stunning is Hemp Extract is both legal and can’t get you high (ever!). And that’s because there is no THC in it. THC is the chemical in pot that gives you the high and makes you feel buzzed.

Second, and perhaps most exciting, Hemp Extract is bursting with special relief compounds known as cannabinoids.

These cannabinoids target special receptor sites all over the body and when their levels are high, they do something extraordinary − ease pain. However, there’s one problem, explains Smith.

The Secret to Hemp Extracts Amazing Pain-Fighting Effect

Hemp Extract, like Hemp Chucks, may help users with...

• Aching joints • Stress • Sleep problems • Leg and foot discomfort • Restlessness • Sore muscles • Cramping These cannabinoids and their receptors work like “lock and key” and bind to each other triggering important biological processes, which have one goal − to bring the body into balance; a physiological state known as homeostasis.

Research shows that maintaining your system’s balance is a key to vitality and healthy bodily function.

The ingredients found in Hemp Chucks replenish your levels quickly, easing discomfort.

Plus, by keep your body in balance (homeostasis), Hemp Chucks also helps to relieve stress and tension... improve sleep... and even promote relaxation and calmness.

Taking All the Risk Off Consumers A large percentage of Dr. Smith’s patients have experienced truly amazing results with Hemp Extract, like that in Hemp Chucks.

That’s why it’s now being sold with a guarantee that’s changing the industry standard.

Joints Feel Stuck? Pop a Hemp Chuck: Developed by Dr. Gregory Smith, Hemp Chucks take advantage of new laws surrounding Hemp Extract. The delicious bites take users back to their favorite childhood treats, except this time they can start to provide relief instead of a sugar rush.

“We can only make this guarantee because we are 100% certain our customers will be satisfied,” says Smith.

“We want to take full risk off the consumers. So besides offering massive discounts for first time users, we’re also making a huge promise, so they don’t have to risk a cent.”

Here’s how it works: Take Hemp Chucks exactly as directed, and you must be thrilled with the results!

Otherwise, simply return the empty bottles. Then, the company will refund your money (less s&h) immediately plus give you an extra $10 just for trying.

Hemp Chucks Only Available In Select States Hemp Extract like that found in Hemp Chucks, is legal with the recent passing of the Farm Bill.

However, since it’s so new, certain States have their own guidelines which means it may or may not be available in your region.

If it is, it’s advised to get Hemp Chucks while you can.

How to Try Hemp Chucks Risk FREE This is the official nationwide release of Hemp Chucks in Arizona. And so, the company is offering a special discount supply to anyone who calls within the next 48 hours.

An Order Hotline has been set up for local readers to call. This gives everyone an equal chance to try Hemp Chucks.

Endangered jaguar gives birth at Wildlife World

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

After making international headlines, a Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari jaguar is back in the spotlight.

Endangered jaguar Sara recently gave birth to a healthy cub.

Wildlife World Zoo’s newest member shares in its mother’s same melanistic coloration, as it’s black with black spots.

When Sara made headlines, she was into her second trimester. Thereafter, Wildlife World’s animal care team decided to move Sara off exhibit, where her and her unborn cub’s health, comfort and well-being could be better monitored by staff. Sara’s cub is receiving around-the-clock care by the experienced Wildlife World hand-raising team and veteri-

narians. The youngster has bottles of formula several times a day, and over the next few weeks she will begin the transition to include meat in her diet.

Sara will continue to spend 15 hours a day in her two-story habitat at Wildlife World Zoo, and will return to fulltime once modifications are complete. The exhibit’s climbing wall, perches, waterfall, pool and foliage were constructed specifically to duplicate the natural habitat for jaguars.

The exhibit features an enclosed ledge that allows the cats to climb up and over zoo visitors, giving guests and animals a unique view of each other.

This unique design has now become very popular in zoos over the past decade but was first featured at Wildlife World in 1985.

The jaguar species has an extensive

range throughout Central and South America and were once found throughout the southwest, including Arizona.

Male jaguars can reach up to about 200 pounds and are known to have the strongest bite of any feline species.

Their stocky build allows them to climb with ease in their preferred rainforest habitat to stalk and ambush prey. While most jaguars are yellow with black spots, a sizable fraction of the population is melanistic.

The sense and sensibility of responsibility

We live in a world full of blame shifting. Most of us struggle with accepting responsibility for our mistakes and choices. We don’t like to lose face. With one misstep we could end up on a Yelp! page or Trip Advisor or someone’s blog in social media.

We could lose an election or be disqualified from a scholarship from one supposed incident in high school. As a result, many lie, deny, insolate and isolate. The results of telling the truth or accepting responsibility are just too great; emotionally, legally, socially and strategically.

One of the best illustrations I heard on taking personal responsibility comes from author John Maxwell’s book “The Leader Within You.” The sales manager of a dog food company asked his sales personnel how they liked the company’s new advertising program. “Great! The best in the business,” they responded. “How do you like our new label and package?” “Great. The best in the business,” they responded. “How do you like our sales force?” They were the sales force. They had to admit they were very good.

“OK, then,” said the manager. “So we’ve got the best label and the best advertising program being sold by the best sales force in the business. Tell me why we are in 17th place in the dog food business?” Finally, someone said, “It’s those lousy dogs. They won’t eat the stuff!”

Of course, there are real victims.

There are people through no fault of their own have had terrible things happen to them. You get in an accident caused by someone else; you are assaulted by someone; etc. That’s not your fault.

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph West Valley View Columnist

In this article, I’m talking about people who blame-shift, whether unaware or aware. They blame society, someone or something else, the past, or just outright lie to hide the real issue. They feel entitled to do so. Their life’s mantra seems like if at first you don’t succeed, destroy all the evidence that you tried. Dodging responsibility usually comes from shame. Blame shifting is mostly shame shifting. We feel ashamed, and then become afraid we will lose credibility, popularity, dignity, position or prosperity.

The propensity to blame-shift and not take personal responsibility came right from the beginning of man.

Adam and Eve did something they both knew they were asked by God not to do. What was Adam’s response?

He blamed Eve. You know the rest.

Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the snake and the snake didn’t have a leg to stand on.

Why did they blame one another?

Because of shame. Right away they had to go to the Macy’s store and buy a fig leaf to hide behind. Then they lost their authenticity, living a life of secrets. No matter how much the cost was to them and us, they didn’t want anyone to see their shame. Do you know what? We have the same default Adam and Eve did; hide and hurl, and then they play the blame game.

The problem with shame is it produces guilt. We feel guilty because we are guilty. Guilt is uncomfortable. So, we look for someone or something to transfer our guilt on or to.

We’ve had lots of time to perfect the blame game. It’s the morphine of our time. “It’s those lousy dogs. They won’t eat the stuff!” Denial is not a river in Egypt … it’s right here … in us!

The more we play victim when we aren’t, the more being a victim becomes our lifestyle. It colors our worldview, causing us to underachieve. It hurts others also.

How do you get rid of shame-based guilt? Shame-based guilt must be transformed, or it will be transferred.

Here’s God’s transformational solution: “If we confess our sins (areas where we missed the mark), God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9.

On the cross, the shame and guilt we feel is transferred from us to Jesus, not others. God is also just.

There may be consequences from the

choices we have made but God will sort out how it affects you, usually with a lot of grace thrown in. So, we admit it, quit it and take responsibility for what we did. Then God sets us free from the guilt and shame. We can move on.

Consider this: It’s better to accept responsibility for your mistakes than live a life of unresolved, ever-increasing guilt, hiding behind the fig leaf of blaming others, and seeing others suffer the consequences for something we did.

Someone once said, “If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for most of your troubles, you wouldn’t be able to sit down for a month!”

Ouch! I resemble that. And that’s the sense and sensibility of responsibility.

Triple major first in family to graduate from college

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

Erika Flores is the oldest of four children, born into a close-knit Mexican American family.

While they did not attend college, her parents encouraged all of their children to do so. And Flores said she always knew she would pursue higher education.

But what the Avondale resident didn’t know was how much she would love it.

“I never planned to have three majors; it’s just something that organically happened as I took some classes,” Flores said.

“I had changed my major a few times during my freshman year before picking health science because it had all of the prerequisites for medical school,” she said.

“I added the biological sciences major after I took genetics because I wanted to learn more about biology. And when I took virology with Dr. (Brenda) Hogue, I enjoyed it so much, that I knew that I made the right choice. I later added psychology after being in-

volved in two research labs in the psychology departments.”

This spring, she becomes the first in her family to graduate from college.

And she has set the bar quite high for her younger siblings — one is attending ASU, another is graduating high school and the youngest will be a high school sophomore next fall.

In addition to taking on the course load of three majors, Flores worked up to 30 hours each week in two ASU psychology research labs and also volunteered at Phoenix Children’s Hospital in the oncology and psychiatry departments.

As a commuter student, she spent lots of time traveling between three ASU campuses, and her work took her off campus.

The health field is a long time coming for Flores. She enjoyed science in high school and quickly learned she wanted to get into it. It was further piqued when she took genetics at ASU, and then added biological sciences as a major.

Outside of the classroom, ASU was a learning experience. Flores learned

there are different paths people can take to get to their goal. Not everyone takes the same journey, but that’s OK, she said.

“It’s always really interesting to learn about the different twists and turns people have taken.”

Choosing ASU ASU was a logical choice for Flores, who has a close family.

“As a Latina the importance of family has always been ingrained and emphasized,” she said.

“After high school, I knew that I wanted to stay near my family. And options.

Buckeye resident Shantevia Lanett McKenzie was among more than 625 master’s and doctoral degree recipients at its graduate commencement ceremony on May 25 in the Byron Recreation Complex. Graduates recognized at the ceremony include those who completed their degree requirements in August, December, January and May. McKenzie earned a Master of Health Administration degree in health administration from The University of Scranton.

Former Avondale resident Bradley MacDonald graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from Temple University in Philadelphia. He

will attend graduate school at the University of Pennsylvania in the fall.

MacDonald is a graduate of Connections Academy of Arizona. He is the son of Doug and Lynn MacDonald of Philadelphia and the grandson of Mike and Bonnie Thomas of Avondale.

Goodyear resident Tom Cooke, who attends the Berklee College of Music, has received one of 10 scholarships from the D’Addario Foundation’s College Scholarship Fund. The new, fouryear scholarship will help cover the cost of soft expenses of college such as books, transportation and food.

The recipients of the college scholarships are a diverse group of students who have participated in robust in-

strument programs across the United States including UpBeat NYC, OrchKids, Rock to the Future, All-City High School Music Program, Young Musicians Unite, Intonation Music, Play On Philly and Phoenix Conservatory of Music. Scholarship recipients have been a part of these programs for an average of seven years each and most have attended every weekday after school and acted as peer mentors for younger students.

18 Verrado students will compete at National SkillsUSA conference

BY MAXIMO AGUILAR LAWLOR West Valley View Staff Writer

Verrado High School’s SkillsUSA club is sending 18 students to the National Leadership and Skills Conference this June. The students will represent Arizona, competing in their respective categories.

The SkillsUSA competition revolves around career and technical education (CTE) programs offered around the nation. CTE courses provide high-school students of all ages with the academic and technical skills needed to be successful in real-world experiences.

Around 12.5 million high-school and college students around the country are enrolled in CTE courses.

Mike Walker, the CTE/TV broadcasting instructor and SkillsUSA Broadcasting Club adviser for Verrado, said CTE programs prepare students for their future in a unique classroom setting. “(CTE) classes are geared toward specific programs of study — for lack of better terms, a career,” Walker said.

“Essentially the kids are picking a major in high school, and some of our programs you can do up to two years and some up to four years.”

He continued, “CTE and how it sets itself apart from core classes is that classes are centered around hands-on, project-based learning. There’s not much lecturing. We don’t have any

kind of textbook that you would normally see in a classroom. There typically isn’t any homework because it’s a project — it’s very collaborative.”

Getting 18 students to the national competition was no easy feat. In fact, before the students could compete at the state level, there was a regional competition where Verrado students competed just to qualify for the 2019 Annual SkillsUSA Arizona State competition.

“The schools on the west side get together and compete at regionals mirroring the events at state, and we had around 38 medals at regionals, and that was really good,” Walker said.

Verrado students who qualified for the state competition performed in April and, according to Walker, the students blew the competition out of the water.

“I know we had to have been right up there with the top medal winners in the state,” Walker said. “To put it into perspective, all five of the (Agua Fria Union High School District) schools competed at state, and only one other school got any medals — they got two medals — and we got 44.”

At the 2019 annual SkillsUSA Arizona State competition, Verrado had 18 gold medalists. Those students will represent Verrado at the national competition. Out of the 18 students going to nationals, only three are returners —

Robert Loera, Christian Zendejas and Trinity Dube.

Loera and Zendejas competed in a team and placed second at nationals last year in the business management and technology category. Going into nationals this year, Zendejas believes they’re ready to go for the win.

“The goal obviously is to get gold this year,” Zendejas said. “We’ve enhanced our designs, our display, we have really upped our game adding different advertisement pieces — we’re definitely ready.”

After a 12th place finish last year, Dube will also return to the nationals to compete in the broadcast news category. She hopes to place in the top five at nationals this year.

Dube said the competition at nationals was a “nerve-wracking” experience and doesn’t compare to the Arizona level.

“The competition for Broadcast News is really hard, and you feel so special when you win state, but when you sit in this giant arena during the opening ceremony and everyone there has a gold medal, it’s almost like start-

ing back at square one,” Dube said.

“Everyone is the best where they come from, so it levels out the competition.”

Categories in which Verrado students will compete are Career Pathways Showcase, Entrepreneurship, TV/Video Production, Broadcast News Productions, and Robotics and Automation Technology.

Verrado’s SkillsUSA was labeled a Gold Level Chapter of Distinction for the third year in a row, and was one of seven chapters in the state that was given this status. Izabela Duarte, a gold medalist in the state competition, said there was a sense of pride when they walked into SkillsUSA functions.

“Basically, when we get to SkillsUSA events, we get little name tags that say we are a gold chapter, and it makes us feel great,” Duarte said. “Seeing that, kids know that, ‘Oh, they work hard. We need to watch out — we need to learn from them,’ and it furthers us.”

The 18 students will compete in Louisville, Kentucky, from June 24 to June 28, where they will join more than 7,500 students nationwide to compete for a national title.

Legacy offering free, reduced-price lunch this fall

Mutual Insurance Company that helps pay for over 350 procedures – cleanings, fillings, crowns, even dentures.

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

• No annual maximum, no deductible

Several Legacy Traditional Schools campuses, including those in Avondale and Goodyear, will offer free or reduced-price lunch through the National School Lunch Program beginning this fall.

Legacy’s North Chandler and East Mesa campus piloted the successful program during the 2018-19 school year. The federally subsidized assisted meal program provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunch and breakfast to children each school day.

“The importance of offering high-quality, low-cost meals for students cannot be understated, and we are so pleased to foster an environment

where children can achieve overall wellness and academic success,” Superintendent Nicole Kirkley said.

“Expanding our free and reduced-price lunch program provides increased access to nutritious meal options — supporting a strong academic foundation.”

Students may be determined “categorically eligible” for free meals through participation in certain Federal Assistance Programs, their status as a homeless, migrant, runaway or foster child, or based on household income and family size.

For more information about Legacy Traditional Schools and the free or reduced-price lunch program, visit legacytraditional.org.

YOUTH

Local student named ‘Overall Outstanding Young Man’

BY ANDREA ESTRADA West Valley View Staff Writer

Every year, the Outstanding Young Man and Young Woman (OYMYW) of the Year program recognizes local, young leaders who exhibit exceptional academic success and community service. The highly-competitive program starts off by naming 16 high school students from across the Phoenix metro area as council district winners — and eventually announces two overall winners.

This year, Jaime Perez, who lives in District 7, checked off all the right boxes and was chosen as the Overall Outstanding Young Man for the city of Phoenix. Now, he will have access to a community of professionals, citywide programs and a $2,000 cash award.

Perez, a recent high school graduate, attended University High School on the campus of Tolleson Union High School, where he mastered rigorous curriculum, participated in extracurricular activities and took on leadership roles.

To be considered a viable candidate for the program, Perez said community engagement was key.

“You have to be someone who is able to portray some community service you’ve done; someone who has been able to work with the city of Phoenix; or contribute to the local communities,” Perez said.

Elena Sobampo, finance program teacher and FBLA (future business leaders of America) advisor at Tolleson Union High School, is someone who can attest to the positive impact Perez has had on his community and those in it.

“He got involved in my financial services program and completed the program. Then he became an intern.

I placed him at our district office — directly working with our chief financial officer and our superintendent and board. He just fit in so well. So seamless,” Sobampo said.

“Giving back is not only just giving back into a community service. It’s about service learning and integrating with the community. I think that Jaime really honed that and did so well.”

Sobampo also noted Perez was a particularly good ambassador when he was appointed FBLA officer for the state of Arizona.

Perez, who learned the ins and outs of business throughout Sobampo’s finance education courses and his involvement with her FBLA program, said Sobampo was a major influence in his life.

“Every single time that I’ve had to partake in a new challenge or I’ve been faced with a new obstacle, she’s been there to guide me; been there to support me. She’s been my rock for the past four years that I’ve been in high school,” Perez said.

Now, Perez plans to attend the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts, in the fall, where he wants to major in international studies.

He said he plans to return to the Valley and pursue a master’s degree at Arizona State University.

Sobampo believes programs that invest in local scholars — like that one of the OYMYW — empower the community.

“I think it really provides students with an opportunity to step outside their comfort zone and just really put to test their skills. I’m just super excited for (Jaime). I think that he’s going to pay it forward,” Sobampo said.

“We need more people like him that have that drive and that energy and that enthusiasm to go and just be an agent of change somewhere else and then bring that back home and make that even bigger.”

William Fulks (Willie, Bill), a long time resident of Goodyear, passed away on May 18, 2019 , in Arvada, CO. at the age of 87.

He was born in Oklahoma and moved to Avondale, in 1940. He attended Avondale Elementary School and Litchfield High School. After graduating from high school, he attended ASU where he received his BS and MA degrees.

William was employed at Mountain Bell Telephone Co. for 32 years, Farmers Telephone Co. for seven years and American Red Cross, as a Volunteer and Reservist, for 21 years.

Patricia Lee Bieger Fornes

On Saturday, May 25, 2019, Patricia Lee Bieger Fornes, loving wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, peacefully passed away at the age of 87 at her home in Buckeye. Patricia was born on August 31, 1931 in Buffalo, New York to Evangeline Keller Bieger and Edward James Bieger. She was the second born daughter of five, with older sister Mary and younger siblings, Suzanne, Linda and James. Patricia married her high school sweetheart, John Fornes, on March 11, 1948.

Together, they had seven children; John Peter “Jackie”, Suzanne, Jeffrey, Cynthia, John “Jay”, Christine, and Bonnie.

In 1962, Patricia and John permanently moved to Buckeye, to begin farming, before this they lived in Phoenix in 1950, and from 1950 to 1954, they lived in Bouse, AZ. While residing in Buckeye, she created a life that was integrated in the Buckeye community, having memberships in the St. Henry’s Lady’s Sodality, Buckeye Women’s Club, Phoenix Cotton Wives, and a Tour Director for Arizona Maid of Cotton. Patricia loved to travel, taking a cross Atlantic Cruise by herself, and visiting many countries across the world with family and friends. She also had a love of antiques; furniture, depression glass, and especially lamps.

Patricia was preceded in death by her sister Suzanne (1943), parents Edward and Eva Bieger (1973 & 1979), husband John (1991), sons John Peter and Jeffery (1954 & 2011), Grandchildren Amy and Tara Accomazzo (1974 & 1994), Jacqueline and Suzie Fornes (1987 & 1999), James Galusha (2012), and Jessica Fornes (2016).

Mary Murillo Rivera

Mary Murillo Rivera of Tolleson, passed away May 21, 2019 at the age of 90, a few weeks shy of her 91st birthday. Mary was dedicated to her family, a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother.

Mary was always proud of her Texas roots, she cherished family time and enjoyed cooking and dancing. She married the love of her life, Joe F. Rivera, in Phoenix in 1957, an Army Veteran of the Korean War and a 42 year civil service employee at Luke Air Force Base.

Her career goals became a reality when she became proprietor of Mary’s Flower Shop in Tolleson. Over the next 60 years, Mary’s flower business fulfilled flower requests for her cherished west valley customers and spanned generations of families. She took pride in her work and was thankful for the trust her customers placed in her.

A devoted Catholic, Mary was known as kind, caring and giving. She loved her church and for many years provided Blessed Sacrament Church fresh flowers for the weekly masses. She is preceded in death by her father Roman Murillo, her mother Florencia Murillo and her twelve siblings, Jose (Tomasa), Manuel (Martha), Francisco (Socorro), Ramon (Maria), Hilario (Lupe), Santos (Mariana), Hipolito (Carmen), Teodoro (Aurora), Teresa Vizcarra (Frank), Elidia Padilla (Mariano), Marihilda and Victoria.

Mary taught her family to love, live, laugh and she passed on her strong Catholic faith. Mary is survived by her husband of 61 years, and four children, Joe (Sharon), Mary (Bobby), Lupe (Scott), and Manuel. Her love for her five grandchildren, JoAnna (Johnny), Regina (Michael), Taylor, Jacque and Mary, will never be forgotten.

She also loved spending time with her three great grandchildren, Adeline, Ellason and Carson. Mary was a loving aunt, grand aunt, godmother and dear friend.

While the family appreciates the love and support from friends, loyal customers, and business associates, and as we have lost our final member of a generation of the Murillo family, the visitation, mass and burial were held privately for family and close friends.

In honor of Mary’s memory, the family asks to consider donating time to your favorite charity or donating flowers to your own place of worship.

PUBLIC NOTICE “Arizona Water Company has released its 2018 Water Quality Report (Consumer Confidence Report) for its White Tank water system, PWSID 07-128. The Company will not be mailing a copy of the report to its customers, because Arizona Administrative Code R18-4-117, granted a mailing waiver to small water systems with a population less than 10,000 people. Copies are available: at the Casa Grande office located at 318 N. Marshall Street, Casa Grande; via mail by sending a request to Arizona Water Company, P. O. Box 11030, Casa Grande, AZ 85230; via our website at www.azwater.com; or by calling the Casa Grande office at 520-836-8785. The entire report is also printed in the newspaper today. Arizona Water Company recommends that customers serving more than one housing unit post a copy of the 2018 Water Quality Report in a conspicuous place.”

they are not likely to be detected. Therefore, some of the water quality testing data contained herein, although representative, may be more than one year old. If you have questions about this water quality report, please contact Regina Lynde, Environmental Compliance Manager, Arizona Water Company, P. O. Box 29006, Phoenix, Arizona 85038-9006; telephone (602) 240-6860 or email mail@azwater.com.

ARIZONA WATER COMPANY – 2018 ANNUAL WATER QUALITY REPORT FOR WHITE TANK, ARIZONA, PWSID NO. 07-128 –

The complete Assessment is available for inspection at ADEQ, 1110 West Washington Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85007, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Electronic copies are available from ADEQ at dml@azdeq.gov. For more information, visit ADEQ’s Source Water Assessment and Protection Unit website at: www.azdeq.gov/environ/water/dw/swap.html.

This report contains important information about your drinking water.

Este informe contiene información importante sobre su agua potable.

Tradúzcalo o hable con alguien que lo entienda bien.

Arizona Water Company provides groundwater to its White Tank customers from wells located throughout the White Tank area.

All water samples are collected by state-certified employees of Arizona Water Company or by the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (“ADEQ”). Samples are analyzed by state-certified independent laboratories and the results are forwarded to ADEQ. The following report provides detailed information about the quality of the water delivered to customers. The water supplied by Arizona Water Company complies with all state and federal safe drinking water standards and regulations.

In 2004, ADEQ completed a Source Water Assessment of the water sources used by Arizona Water Company’s White Tank water system. ADEQ reviewed the adjacent land uses that may pose a potential risk to the water sources. The result of the Assessment was a low risk to the water sources.

The USEPA and ADEQ require Arizona Water Company to provide the following information: Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some constituents. The presence of constituents does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about constituents and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

Some people may be more vulnerable to constituents in drinking water than the general population.

Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. USEPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial constituents are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).

The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radiological material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

Constituents that may be present in source water include: Microbials, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife.

Inorganics, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming.

Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff, and residential uses.

Organics, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production. They can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems.

Radiological material, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities.

In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, USEPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain constituents in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for constituents in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Arizona Water Company is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/lead.

Your drinking water complies with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (“USEPA”) safe drinking water standard for arsenic, though it contains low levels of arsenic. USEPA’s safe drinking water standard balances the current understanding of arsenic’s possible health effects against the costs of removing arsenic from drinking water. USEPA continues to research the health effects of low levels of arsenic, which is a mineral known to cause cancer in humans at high concentrations and is linked to other health effects such as skin damage and circulatory problems.

Nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 ppm is a health risk for infants of less than six months of age. High nitrate levels in drinking water can cause blue baby syndrome. Nitrate levels may rise quickly for short periods of time because of rainfall or agricultural activity. If you are caring for an infant you should ask advice from your health care provider.

Note: In addition to the constituents listed in this report, Arizona Water Company conducted monitoring for over 90 additional constituents and the results show none of those constituents were detected in the water. Data presented are from the most recent testing done in accordance with applicable regulations. Some constituents are monitored less frequently than once a year because either their concentrations do not change frequently or

DEFINITIONS, ABBREVIATIONS, AND UNIT DESCRIPTIONS: Action = The concentration of a constituent which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system must Level follow.

CDC = United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention FDA = United States Food and Drug Administration MCL = Maximum Contaminant Level, the highest level of a constituent that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs using the best available treatment technology as is economically and technologically feasible.

MCLG = Maximum Contaminant Level Goal, the level of a constituent in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.

MRDL = Maximum Residual Disinfection Level, the highest level of a drinking water disinfectant that is allowed in drinking water MRDLG = Maximum Residual Disinfection Level Goal, the level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial constituents.
