Investigators outline Buckeye PD misconduct

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

Two years after an anonymous letter accusing the Buckeye Police Department of misdeeds was sent to the media and city officials, an independent investigation firm hired by city of Buckeye officials has released its findings.

Copeland Investigations LLC outlined its results in a 27-page report to the city of Buckeye on February 14, accompanied by its 5,000 pages of supporting evidence that were reviewed by the West Valley View.

Buckeye officials released the package to the public June 5.

The letter claimed misappropriation of government funds, altered crime statistics and a hostile work environment.

The investigation determined many of the allegations contained in the letter lacked specificity, were not in violation of city policies or provided no facts to support the allegation.

However, Copeland Investigations said it agreed with some of the allegations including the improper recording of crime statistics.

During the course of the investigation, four Buckeye police staff members were disciplined: Chief Larry Hall, Sgt. James Virgadamo, Lt. Gary McGeough and Lt. Charles Arlak. (See accompanying sidebar.) The West Valley View is attempting

to contact the four staff members involved.

New community breaks ground in Goodyear

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA West Valley View Managing Editor

Construction has begun on a new single-family rental housing community in Goodyear.

The Village at Pebble Creek — a 14.83acre, 184-unit community located west of Pebble Creek Parkway, between Virginia Avenue and Monte Vista Road — is expected to open in December.

The Goodyear community — from developer The Empire Group and man-

agement company Stellar Residential — marks the entry of The Village brand to the Arizona market. Dale Phillips, president of Stellar Residential, called it the first of many.

“As you know, development sometimes can be concerning in a neighborhood, and we’re not real certain how it’s going to impact our lives. I just want you to rest assured that the partners The Empire Group has compiled are responsible and they are committed to ensuring that the residents of

Village at Pebble Creek are going to enhance the neighborhood; they are going to further sponsor the local restaurants and retail,” Phillips said at a recent groundbreaking ceremony.

“It’s a very popular and unique product type, and it builds in a sense of home ownership … It’s not an apartment, it’s not a home — it’s actually very special.”

BY WAYNE SCHUTSKY

West Valley View Staff Writer

Various partners recently celebrated the opening of a new natural gas facility at a Valley wastewater plant that could earn the cities money while benefiting the environment at the same time.

Scottsdale, Phoenix, Glendale, Mesa and Tempe are all members of the sub-regional operating group, or SROG, that owns the 91st Ave Wastewater Treatment Plant in Tolleson that cleans wastewater for reuse.

That water is used for a variety of purposes, including irrigating golf courses and cooling the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.

The SROG cities partnered with Ameresco, a Massachusetts-based energy company, to convert the methane gas produced as a byproduct of the water treatment process into usable natural gas, or RNG. The plant is largest of its kind in the United States, according to Arizona Municipal Water Users Association.

The Ameresco RNG plant, which had its ribbon cutting in April, could provide between over $1 million in annual revenue for the SROG cities, said Phoenix Deputy Water Services Director Patty Kennedy.

The city of Phoenix operates the jointly-owned facility.

The plant has environmental benefits as well.

Kennedy said that treating wastewater for reuse results in byproducts, including bio-solids and methane gas.

According to an article published by Arizona Municipal Water Users Association, the bio-solids are typically recycled to create fertilizer for nonfood crops like alfalfa.

Previously, however, the methane produced at the plant was burned off using flares, which adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

According to Ameresco, the new plant will result in the equivalent of over 44,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide saved per year.

Speaking on the environmental affects of the new plant, Kennedy referred to it as the “third leg” of the stool that already included treating wastewater and reusing the bio-solid byproducts of the treatment process.

Kennedy said the cities will keep the flares on site as a backup to use if the Ameresco plant goes temporarily offline.

The new plant should also prove to be a financial boon for the cities involved.

Kenendy said the cities explored a number of ways to use the methane byproduct, including using it for energy on site, but ultimately opted to partner with Ameresco, a private company, because of the low risk the proposal posed for the partner cities.

Essentially, the cities are just selling the raw methane gas to Ameresco, which also paid all capital costs to construct the RNG facility at the 91st Ave Wastewater Treatment Plant, Kennedy said.

The company is then responsible for refining that gas to commercial standards, at which point it will be put into Kinder Morgan natural gas pipeline network.

Kennedy anticipated the plant will produce over 600,000 mmbtu of methane annually.

That raw methane is currently selling at about $1 per mmbtu, equating to $600,000 for the cities.

The agreement with Ameresco also includes a clause that provides for the SROG cities to receive additional royalties if Ameresco reaches a certain amount in sales.

“We estimated that we will also see some royalties, because there is a good market for natural gas,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy said those royalties could boost the cities’ take to around $1.2 million.

Avondale Elementary to hold hearing on proposed tax increase

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The Avondale Elementary School district will hold a public hearing on the proposed tax increase at 5:30 p.m.

Tuesday, July 9.

The hearing will be held at 295 W. Western Avenue.

In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Avondale Elementary School District is notifying its property taxpayers of its intention to raise its primary property taxes over the current level to pay for increased expenditures in those areas where the governing board has the authority to increase property taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1.

The Avondale Elementary School Dis-

trict is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $2.3 million.

The amount proposed above will cause Avondale Elementary School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $56.312. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $0.1135.

These amounts proposed are above the qualifying tax levies as prescribed by state law, if applicable. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter-approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides.

All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing on the proposed tax increase.

NRA helps fund local Arizona Rangers gun safety program

BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The NRA Foundation has awarded the Arizona Rangers: Agua Fria Company a grant totaling $2,800 to fund The Eddie Eagle GunSafe program.

The program is a gun accident prevention program for children in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade.

The main teaching tool for the program is a video, featuring Eddie Eagle and the Wing Team.

Eddie and his friends teach children that if they ever come across a gun in an unsupervised situation, they need to “STOP! Don’t touch. Run away. Tell a grown-up.”

“We are very excited about The Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program, and pleased that the NRA is making an investment in our community,” said Lt.

Robert Shirey, executive officer.

The Arizona Rangers, on request, provide law enforcement support and assistance to any federal, state or local law enforcement agency within Arizona. Also, on request, the Arizona Rangers can provide security services for community and civic organizations.

The Arizona Rangers provide support for the youth and youth organizations within Arizona. Additionally, the Arizona Rangers participate in activities which keep alive the history and traditions of the Old West.

Estrella Mountain Car Club donates $10,000 to West-MEC

MAXIMO AGUILAR LAWLOR West Valley View Staff Writer

On Saturday, June 8, Estrella Mountain Car Club (EMCC) donated $10,000 it raised from a car show in March to WestMEC, a public school district that provides career and technical education courses to high school students in the West Valley.

Founded in 2006 by a group of car enthusiasts, EMCC has since grown into an organization of 45 registered members.

But it wasn’t until 2016 that the club decided something needed to be done for the community.

“Three years ago, the club decided we needed to try and do something more for the community, so we got our heads together and decided to put on a car show,” said Rich Davis, vice president of sales and marketing. “The show was a great success — it’s been a great success every year.”

EMCC’s car show this past March attracted more than 250 vehicles and raked in revenue of up to $20,000, with expenses of only around $8,000 to $9,000, according to Davis. The show included a DJ, flash mob, cardboard car show for kids, face-painting, Goodyear police cars and a fire truck.

“We’re constantly trying to upgrade the show so it’s not just a guys-and-gals

car show, but get the families involved, and we’re working on some things to do for next year,” Davis said.

EMCC is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that donates or spends funds on future projects. West-MEC just made sense, Davis said.

“Over the past three years, we have provided $24,000 in funding toward West-MEC,” Davis said. “One hundred percent of the money we give them goes toward the students — there’s nothing eaten up, which is just a wonderful thing and hard to find in today’s market.”

When donated to West-MEC, the funds are allocated to students who have financial need. Joanie Woods, EMCC secretary, said the money makes a difference for students.

“A lot of the students need certifications as well — there are so many different opportunities for them (at West-MEC) that they wouldn’t have otherwise,” Woods said.

“All these certifications cost quite a bit of money, and the students apply for our scholarships. (The donations) really help them.”

Maryann Babyar, counselor liaison director for West-MEC, praises the school’s relationship with EMCC. “This partnership (with EMCC) is so

amazing,” Babyar said. “It just keeps growing, and it grows because of their hearts and what they want to do for students.”

West-MEC’s goal is to prepare students for their future careers, and Babyar said donations are critical for helping those who are in need.

“Corrections to the sustained allegations were made and the department is successfully moving forward.”

Conflict of Interest The anonymous letters intimated Hall and McGeough’s ownership involvement in Blue Knights Securities, a private investigation services company, was a conflict of interest. Copeland Investigations wrote it believed that to be true.

According to the Arizona Corporation Commission website, McGeough and Hall are shareholders of Blue Knights Securities Group, the report said. When the articles of organization were filed on June 12, 2013, Hall was the assistant chief of police for the city of Buckeye. A year later, when a statement of change of statutory agent was filed, Hall was the Buckeye police chief and McGeough was still a sergeant.

The report states Mark Mann, who was the Buckeye police chief, knew of the business and approved of it, Hall and McGeough reportedly told investigators.

Hall also used official department email and city time to conduct Blue Knights’ work, the report said. According to the report, Hall ignored complaints and warning signs and through his neglect allowed crime statistics to be inaccurately reported.

Arlak exhibited “gross incompetence” and failed to provide proper oversight resulting in inadequately reporting criminal activity in Buckeye and artificially lowering crime rates, the report said.

Has your home increased in value over the years? A new option may help you enjoy a better retirement.

Keep reading if you own a home in the U.S and were born before 1957.

It’s a well-known fact that for many senior citizens in the U.S. their home is their single biggest asset, often accounting for more than 50% of their total net worth. For many, this investment has substantially improved due to years of appreciation.

Yet, according to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 6.9 trillion dollars of unused home equity.1 With people now living longer than ever before and home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted.

American Advisors Group (AAG) has recently introduced a new Jumbo Reverse Mortgage loan that allows homeowners with high-value homes to

borrow as much as $4 million of their home equity.

Unlike a standard reverse mortgage, AAG’s Jumbo Reverse Mortgage loan has much higher loan limits, which gives those homeowners who qualify access to even more cash—for many, that means a better retirement.

However, today, there are still millions of eligible homeowners who may simply not be aware of this “retirement secret.” Some homeowners think these loans sound “too good to be true.” while others don’t know how a reverse mortgage works or understand the process of extracting equity from their home.

You get the cash you need out of your home but you have no more monthly mortgage payments.

It’s a fact: “no monthly mortgage payments” are required with a reverse jumbo mortgage; however, homeowners are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.

Our new Reverse Mortgage infomation guides & DVD are now available featuring award-winnng actor and paid AAG spokesman, Tom Selleck

waiting for you if you need it.

AAG is honored to be the No. 1 Reverse Mortgage lender in the nation. We have been named a 2017 finalist in the 500+ Employee Category for the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) Torch Awards for Ethics.

We take pride in our ability to make the reverse mortgage experience informative and efficient for our customers. In fact, recent customers have given us a 97% satisfaction rating! We are also one of only a few lenders to offer these jumbo reverse mortgage loans.

The cash from a jumbo reverse loan can be used for almost any purpose. Many people use the money to save on interest charges by paying off credit cards or other high-interest loans. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical bills or helping other family members.

Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a “safety net” for financial emergencies If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make an informed decision.

Today, jumbo reverse mortgage loans have proven to be an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement.

Homeowners who are interested in learning more can request a free 2019 Jumbo Reverse Mortgage Information Kit and free Educational DVD by calling American Advisors Group tollfree at 1-866-221-8915.

While some wait until they need cash, a jumbo reverse mortgage loan with AAG is best applied as a vital planning tool that can help you live out your golden years in comfort and security. By planning ahead, you can also know that a safety net is there

1) https://www.mpamag.com/market-update/senior-home-equity-has-grown-to-6-9-trillion-112295.Aspx AAG is an equal housing lender. AAG works with other lenders and financial institutions. To process your request for a mortgage, AAG may forward your contact information to such lenders for your consideration of mortgage programs that they offer. A reverse mortgage increases the principal mortgage loan amount and decreases home equity (it is a negative amortization loan). Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is tax-deductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.

Legislative pay increase Editor:

It was good to see that our Republican friends in the Arizona Legislature finally found something to like in the federal government bureaucracy: the federal per-diem rate.

As the Legislature wound down over the Memorial Day weekend, while most of us were not paying any attention, the members voted to raise their per-diem rate to what the feds pay.

Lawmakers who live outside Maricopa County will get the full federal rate of $185 a day while Maricopa County lawmakers will get half of that, $92.50 a day. (Editor's Note: Gov. Doug Ducey vetoed the legislation.)

Our own Sen. Sine Kerr, a Republican from Buckeye, co-sponsored and voted for the bill.

Next year, in addition to getting the federal standard for mileage reimbursement of 52.5 cents a mile to drive to the Capitol, Sen. Kerr will get $92.50 a day just for going to work. I know many folks who have to commute down the I-10 each day who would love to get an extra hundred bucks a day just for going to work.

It made sense to me, as it did to Rep. Joanne Osborne, who is also a Republican and from Goodyear, to increase the per-diem rates for lawmakers who live outside Maricopa County. It’s a big state and they cannot really go home each day after a legislative session. So, to raise their per-diem from $60 to $185 seems palatable given today’s costs.

But why raise the rate for Maricopa County legislators, who were getting $35 a day? And why decide to do it so late in the legislative session that the

public had no opportunity to voice our views? These are the same voters who have consistently said no to legislative pay increases for 20 years. Now we find that Sen. Kerr will get her $24,000 a year salary next year and at least another $12,000 just for going to work.

Sounds like a pay raise to me.

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 pur-

view 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 (no party affiliation) for more than 30 years.

New head of Air Force good for Luke Editor:

Congratulations to our own Barbara Barrett on her nomination to be the next secretary of the Air Force. It can be nothing but great news for the West Valley, because she will surely bring all her heft in support of Luke Air Force Base and the F-35s stationed there. She has an incredible background and very large footprints in Arizona and is unique in her qualifications for the job. Without a military background, she was the first woman to land an F/A-18 Hornet on an aircraft carrier and has served as civilian adviser to the secretary of defense, among many other things.

Luke is the largest international pilot training base in the United States and brings a huge amount of economic activity to the area with pilots often spending nine months there to be trained. National security is served as

our allies are prepared to use the most advanced fighter jet on the planet, and the economic security of the entire area is greatly enhanced.

I believe she will bring a steady and thoughtful approach to the continued support for the F-35s at all Arizona locations. The benefits beyond national security are vast. We salute her and wish her much success as the new secretary of the Air Force.

Hickman’s Family Farms Editor:

This letter is in response to the frontpage article in the May 1 edition of the West Valley View entitled “Hickman’s controversy goes national with documentary.”

Surely everyone must realize businesses existed and members of the community lived in Tonopah before Hickman’s started construction of the egg factory in 2014. Yes, it is a factory farm that mass produces more than 4.3 million eggs and 136 tons of manure per day.

The Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (EPCRA) required reporting of ammonia releases. According to documents filed by Hickman’s with the EPA on March 30,

OPINION

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 12, 2019

2017, the Tonopah egg factory emits 1,593 pounds of ammonia per day.

The EPA considers ammonia to be an extremely hazardous substance. An industry expert, Al Heber (July 6, 2017), calculated the ammonia release to be 4,100 pounds/day. In either case it far exceeds the EPCRA reporting threshold of 100 pounds/day.

The Tonopah egg factory’s air permit (No. 140062) has an odor control standard based on Maricopa County’s Air Quality Department Rule 320 — Odors and Gaseous Air Contaminants.

The permit requirement for controlling odor reads: “Standards: No person shall emit gaseous or odorous air contaminants from equipment, operations or premises under his control in such quantities or concentrations as to cause air pollution.

(Rule 320 §300) a. Material Containment Required: Materials including, but not limited to, manure shall be processed, stored, used and transported in such a manner and by such means that they will not unreasonably evaporate, leak, escape or be otherwise discharged into the ambient air in such quantities or concentrations as to cause air pollutions smells, aromas or stenches commonly

recognized as offensive, obnoxious or objectionable to a substantial part of a community. Where means are available to reduce effectively the contribution to air pollution from evaporation, leakage or discharge, the installation and use of such control methods, devices or equipment shall be mandatory.

(Rule 320 §302)” The Tonopah egg factory exceeds these standards for controlling odor on a regular basis.

There are agricultural lands at I-10 and Bullard Road, I-10 and Litchfield Road, I-10 and 107th Avenue, McDowell Road and Avondale Boulevard, Indian School Road and 99th Avenue, Lower Buckeye and Dean roads, and other “city” sites. What if more than 4.5 million chickens moved onto these agriculture fields? Did the nearby homeowners do due diligence? What would the homeowners do?

The left’s attacks on Trump Editor:

The fever pitch of hatred in Washing-

ton, D.C., has reached a level previously unknown since the 1860s, when the election of Abraham Lincoln plunged the nation into ghastly civil war. The citizens made their minds known, Lincoln was elected and those bitterly opposed could not accept it and decided to burn the country to the ground; they almost succeeded. Today’s leftists are just as willing to destroy our country in the process of regaining and maintaining power. They, with the full support of their allies in the media, have waged all-out war against our president and are itching to file articles of impeachment. This unhinged behavior from our elected representatives should alarm every one of us.

Remember when Barack Obama’s 2013 budget declared, “In the 21st century, real GDP growth in the United States is likely to be permanently slower than it was in earlier eras,” and again “2% real GDP growth is the new normal for the U.S. economy”? Two percent annual growth wasn’t even the “new normal” under Obama; 1.64% was. Our president proved demonstrably and immediately how false this was, and today we enjoy a robust economy with unemployment rates unseen in 48 years. Impeachable offense?

Remember when our president was

accused of provoking war with North Korea? The truth is he’s done what no president has done since the Kim dynasty originated in the 1950s by thwarting war, even missile demonstrations, and meeting with their dictator. Impeachable offense?

Trump has drawn the line and refuses to allow corrupt nations to take advantage of America any longer. Impeachable offense?

Does anyone even remember what Mueller was hired to investigate? Mueller despises Trump personally, but after 22 hate-motivated months he has produced nothing, yet the left continues to howl for impeachment.

This president doesn’t accept a salary, recognizes freedom isn’t free, restores respect for our brave soldiers and first responders, and upholds the moral fabric of our nation, that which provides us the ability to lead the world in all aspects: the Constitution. Are these impeachable offenses, too?

Remember this: The only thing standing between us and Venezuela is our president.

This New Bladder Control Pill May Replace Adult Diapers Clinical studies show new pill may be effective enough to replace adult diapers for bladder control; initial users show dramatic reduction in trips to the bathroom, embarrassing leaking, and nighttime urgency.

Robert Ward, Associated Health Press AHP− Adult diaper sales are expected to plummet as results from a clinical trial on a new, patented bladder control pill have finally been released.

Sold under the brand name UriVarx™, the new pill contains key ingredients that keeps the bladder from releasing voluntarily, which reduces accidents and frequent bathroom trips.

Perhaps more impressive, it also targets the tiny muscles around the bladder, which helps the bladder to create a tighter seal.

active and the resulting urine accidents and why UriVarx™ seems to be so effective in the published clinical trials.

EXCITING RESULTS FROM URIVARX USERS Many UriVarx™ users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry.

“After my third child, I couldn’t control my bladder. I was running to the bathroom all the time! And once I hit my 60s it became so unpredictable I needed to wear adult pads every day” explained Marie L. of Danbury, CT.

This would explain why the average UriVarx™ user in clinical trials experiences a 66% reduction in urinary incontinence symptoms, such as day and night leaking and sudden urges to urinate.

“I was embarrassed so before going to my doctor I decided to try UriVarx and I’m so glad I did! The urgency is gone and I no longer feel like my bladder is about to explode. I can also “hold it” when I need to so I’m no longer living in constant fear of finding a bathroom.”

NEW DISCOVERY IN BLADDER CONTROL

IMPRESSIVE CLINICAL RESULTS

Until now, doctors believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder. They are amazed to see that it can now be done with the non-prescription UriVarx™ pill.

The exciting clinical results published on the government clinical website clinicaltrials.gov show that UriVarx™ can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urine urgency and leaks.

“As you get older, and the involuntary muscles around your bladder weaken, you lose urinary control. With your bladder wall unable to properly seal, you constantly leak and feel pressure to urinate” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj of Innovus Pharmaceuticals.

In a new double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, 142 men and women with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx™.

“UriVarx™ targets the bladder muscles and help restores vital kidney health, reducing urgency and frequency. It also helps you “hold it” for hours so you never have to worry about embarrassing accidents ever again!”

FREEDOM FROM SUDDEN URGES AND LEAKS

The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx™ saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night.

Overall, the UriVarx™ group experienced:

NEW PILL MAY REPLACE DIAPERS FOR BLADDER CONTROL: This new patented clinically proven pill solution is now available nationwide

surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken.

When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms.

It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s™ active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx™ support kidney function and overall urinary health.

Since hitting the market, sales for the patented UriVarx™ pill have soared and there are some very good reasons why.

• 56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence

BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE

• 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence

To begin with, the double blind large clinical studies published in the clinicaltrials.gov have been impressive.

Participants taking UriVarx™ saw a stunning reduction in urinary frequency, which resulted in fewer bathroom trips both day and night.

• 61% Reduction in Urgency

With daily use, UriVarx™ can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs.

They also experienced a dramatic decrease in incontinence episodes, such as leaking and bed wetting.

The active ingredients in UriVarx™ comes from a patented formula. It is both safe and healthy. There are also no known serious side effects in its history of use.

Scientists believe that the ingredients target the muscles of the bladder to grow stronger. These muscles are responsible for keeping the bladder tightly sealed. They also help the bladder to completely empty, allowing bacteria to be flushed from the urinary tract.

Research has shown that as you get older, certain hormonal changes in the body cause these muscles to shrink and become lose. This is what causes the bladder to be over

• 33% Reduction in Frequency • 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx™ said it significantly improved their quality of life.

“The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder if it will really work” explains Dr. Bassam Damaj.

“It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx™ users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”

HOW IT WORKS UriVarx™ is a pill that’s taken just once daily. It does not require a prescription.

The active ingredients are patented natural extracts.

Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which

Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.

Power for them, not you Editor:

Shame on the Democrats for capitulating to the progressives and allowing their once-proud party to become radicalized.

Progressives support issues which are totally out of step with the great majority of Americans. Consider the following, which progressives support:

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 12, 2019

• Killing babies after they are born.

Legislation has already been adopted in Virginia and New York.

• Allowing violent criminals to vote while they are incarcerated.

• Favoring reparations for slavery.

Why? Wasn’t affirmative action enough?

• The equality act, proposed in the Democrat-controlled House, which gives people of faith an ultimatum to change their religious practice or face government punishment.

• Nullifying those parts of our Constitution with which they disagree.

• Universal health care for every illegal immigrant. Both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris support it. There could be as many as 20 or 30 million such individuals. Nobody knows for sure. How will we pay for it? If we give free universal health care to the entire world, the entire world will come.

• Establishing a national gun-owners registry and eventual gun confiscation.

• They continue to lie about the robust economy, which Trump policies have created. They are well aware of James Carville’s words, “It’s the economy, stupid.”

The time between now and the 2020 election really matters. If the progressives win, they will implement their far-out secular agenda.

The progressives will never debate issues. They cannot win if they do. Their strategy is to make the election about Trump, whom they will malign every day between now and November 2020.

If you consider Trump’s personality traits, you will probably never like him. If you consider his policies and what he has already done for America, you will vote for him in a heartbeat. He will never be your best friend. But he also will never try to subjugate you.

The progressives will do exactly that.

Under socialism, your life will become dramatically worse. You will live in a politically correct Stasi hellhole. For the progressives, it is all about having power.

Editor: President Trump, while visiting Japan, had a battle ship labeled with Sen. John S. McCain’s name covered up.

This is beyond unhinged. The thought process behind such actions is beyond comprehension.

I voted for Trump, trying to give him the benefit of a doubt; thinking he would rise to the level we deserve in our president.

What is my choice now? Joe Biden, chairman of the hearings on Anita Hill and Supreme Court Justice Clarance Thomas, who for years has come up behind women and firmly put his hands on them and in their hair? In case anyone missed it, this is really a power move. Joe Biden’s wife, with “doctor” in front of her name, never said to her husband that is just creepy behavior?

We don’t have to settle this next elec-

tion. Let’s get a new president who is mentally healthy. We deserve at least that.

The Curse of Tippecanoe Editor:

There was an interesting story I found while doing a Google search on the internet. It has to do with The Curse of Tippecanoe (or Tecumseh’s Curse). It states that all U.S. presidents elected in years that are easily divisible by 20 will die in office. This curse began in 1840, when the ninth U.S. president, William Henry Harrison, was elected to office.

He died after one month in office.

There were two exceptions to The Curse of Tippecanoe. Thomas Jefferson was elected president in the year 1800. He tied in electoral votes with Aaron Burr. It was the House of Representatives who elected Jefferson. He died on July 4, 1826, the same day as John Adams (the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence). The second president elected in a year ending in zero was James Monroe in 1820, his second term. He also (coincidentally) died on July 4, 1831.

Here is the list of U.S. presidents who died in office, sorted by year elected: 1840 — William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia on April 4, 1841.

1860 — Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865.

1880 — James Abram Garfield was shot and wounded by Charles J. Guiteau on July 2, 1881. He thought he would recover, but died from complications on September 19, 1881.

1900 — William McKinley, on September 6, 1901, at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo, New York, was shot by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist. He died on September 14, 1901.

1920 — Warren G. Harding died of a heart attack in San Francisco on August 2, 1923.

1940 — Franklin D. Roosevelt died of a cerebral hemorrhage on April 12, 1945.

1960 — John F. Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald in Dallas, Texas, on November 22, 1963.

1980 — Ronald Reagan survived an assassination attempt by John Hinkley Jr. Curse over?

2000 — Curse had no effect on George W. Bush. There was a controversy

concerning the 2000 presidential election, however, that Al Gore had actually won.

Before William Henry Harrison became president, he was the first governor of the Indiana Territory. He negotiated the 1809 Treaty of Fort Wayne, in which the Native Americans were to cede large tracts of land to the U.S. government. In 1813, he led American forces into Canada, north of Lake Erie.

At the Battle of Thames, near Ontario, Canada, the Shawnee Chief Tecumseh was killed. His body was mutilated and buried in a mass grave.

Is Tecumseh’s Curse real — or just an eerie coincidence?

Now we have the 2020 presidential election coming up. Will it prove fatal to the winner? Only time will tell…

Gender identity mayhem Editor:

On April 12, 2019, Michael Knowles, a conservative speaker, gave a presentation entitled “Men Are Not Women” at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The campus gender identity mob was not happy and proceeded to disrupt his speech. Despite screeching, disrespectful clamor, Mike gave the obvious reasons why men are not women, but more importantly discussed the harmful effects of this pernicious gender ideology that somehow distinguishes between one’s sex and gender. The two are different, according to transgender ideology, which claims that a person’s sex is determined by their gender identity, not by biology. Dr. Paul R. McHugh, former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital, said on June 2, 2015, “that transgenderism is a ‘mental disorder’ that merits treatment, that sex change is biologically impossible and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating and promoting mental disorder.”

Picking one’s gender at any time, at any place, based on one’s feelings is now considered a civil right according to the new militants. To ensure compliance with this new ideology, the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives passed a law on May 17 called the Equality Act, which would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The bill is not so much about preventing discrimination as it is about coercion. The Washington Times refers to the bill as a “legal jack-

hammer” that would erase the reality of biological sex and force all places of public accommodation to affirm and accept any type of gender identity or else. In practice, an organization could be sued for not allowing men to use female bathrooms, or using the wrong pronoun when addressing someone, or not including gender-changing medication and surgery in its health care plan, or not affirming them in counseling, or not allowing men to participate in women’s sports. Indeed, some feminists referred to the bill as the “Women’s Erasure Act.” Conservatives have referred to the bill as anti-First Amendment, anti-family and anti-religious, as it makes no accommodation for those who hold different views.

The White House and Republican-controlled Senate have already voiced their opposition to this far-reaching bill that would upend our culture by destroying the innate and God-created differences between men and women.

Our freedoms require vigilance, or else we will face an Orwellian future where those in power will force us to accept their irrational, evil views.

Give Democraps lie detector tests before they speak Editor:

What a mess the Democraps have made out of Congress. And, yes, the word “Democrap” is a real word. You can find the true definition in the Urban Dictionary. It fits members of Congress who are not Republican perfectly.

The Democraps want to spend another $25 million or more on trying to remove the president from office since Robert Mueller couldn’t indict a sitting president, per their request, after spending over $25 million in two years. After all of their “games” are played out, we can thank Jerrold Naddler, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff for reelecting Trump.

Adam Schiff is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, and he has the intelligence of a gnat. Maybe I’m being too kind.

Anyhow, now the Democraps want to impeach the president for lying and a slew of made up thingies. They should all be hooked up to a lie detector machine before they open their mouths. If lying is an impeachable offense, we should be able to impeach

322 Democrap members of Congress.

During the 2016 election, the fake news filled our TVs with stories about Trump’s extramarital affairs. Like all members of Congress don’t have their own sex stories on the side and are “perfect Angels.” You only have to look at Franklin D. Roosevelt; John, Bobby and Ted Kennedy; Bill Clinton and Lyndon B. Johnson if you want the most recent sexcapades in the higher offices of our government.

We managed to get a few creeps cleaned out of Congress who were guilty of sexual harassment recently, but the swamp is still full. Yes, even a few are Republican. This is all the more reason why we need a presidential decree to force term limits on all members of Congress, just like they imposed on the presidency. We the people are supposed to be the “boss” over Congress, but they write the laws and they refuse to listen to the people and give themselves term limits like most people want. Instead, they don’t do the job they were elected to do; they spend more time on “witch hunts” and zero time doing work for the American people and our country. Oh, did I mention they also give themselves huge raises without our permission, for do-

17

ing nothing all day, and they can retire with full pay and benefits just after one term? Are we suckers or what?

President Trump has managed to bring back the economy beyond expectations after Barack Obama flushed it down the toilet. Only a blind person can’t read the numbers. If the Democraps manage to impeach President Trump for putting millions back to work, increasing salaries, getting much better trade agreements, getting millions off welfare and food stamps, expect to go back to the days of failed Obama era with high unemployment and lower wages and jobs moving overseas. It’s as simple as that!

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase In compliance with section 15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Tolleson Union High School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Tolleson Union High School District’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over the current level to pay for increased expenditures in those areas where the governing board has the authority to increase property taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019. The Tolleson Union High School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $8,500,000.

The amount proposed above will cause Tolleson Union High School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $67.65. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $1.70.

These amounts proposed are above the qualifying tax levies as prescribed by state law, if applicable. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides.

All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing on the proposed tax increase scheduled to be held June 25, 2019 at 6PM at the Tolleson Union High School District Office, 9801 W. Van Buren St., Tolleson, AZ 85353.

Park funding prominent in proposed county budget

BY CLINT HICKMAN Maricopa County Supervisor, District 4

The fastest-growing part of the nation’s fastest-growing county is getting some love from Maricopa County. The county’s proposed fiscal year 2020 budget includes a number of wins for the West Valley, including big investments in our regional parks. Here are the highlights:

Estrella Mountain Regional Park

Outside of a new nature center in 2008 and a much-needed replacement of the playground in 2015, not much changed at Estrella Mountain Regional Park in the past decade. But in 2018, the Board of Supervisors was able to fund several new projects to revitalize the park. In FY 2020, this important work continues with $60,000 set aside for shaded sites for our park hosts, the volunteers who work full-time making our parks bet-

ter in exchange for use of a campsite.

Other recent projects include new landscaping and walking paths; additional trees and turf; a better water system; ramada replacements; and parking lot improvements. If you haven’t been to Estrella Mountain in a while, there’s no better time.

Lake Pleasant Regional Park

There’s exciting work happening at the county’s busiest park. Last year, we funded a public safety dock at the lake. This year, you will see a new, nature-themed playground. Attractions will include slides in the form of eagles and gila monsters, a cottonwood tree climber and swing, and even a spider web climber. The FY 2020 budget includes a few additional projects: $440,000 for fencing to protect visitors and $115,000 for ramada renovations.

All of this will make Lake Pleasant an even more pleasant place to be.

White Tank Mountain Regional Park

The FY 2020 budget includes ap-

proximately $500,000 in improvements to the county’s largest regional park. This fall, the Willow Day-Use Area will be converted into a semi-developed campground. Changes will include: 20 new campsites with picnic tables, campfire rings, and parking for two vehicles; a new shower house in the current restroom building; and a trailer turn-around area. If you’re looking to spend a night in the great outdoors, you don’t have to leave Maricopa County. We have you covered at White Tank.

Budgets are a reflection of priorities, and preserving and enhancing open space is one of mine. We’ll have the final vote on the FY 2020 budget next month. If approved, our Maricopa County parks will receive a significant injection of funds. I, for one, believe it is money well spent. I hope you agree.

Business Briefcase

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

West Valley View Managing Editor

Hello, readers! As promised last week, I have more big news. Though there are only a few individual items, there is quite a bit of details to elaborate on.

Heard of artificial intelligence? That’s on today’s agenda.

More medical offices? Check!

A new financial advisor? Yep! Let’s get into it then, shall we? Here’s the news!

First, West Valley Medical Center, 140 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear, is now fully leased. Mountain Park Health Center is the most recent tenant, having taken 20,997 square feet with a 15-year lease valued at more than $9.5 million in total lease consideration. Other ten-

ants of the two-story, 34,950-squarefoot medical office building are Phoenix Spine Surgery Center and Phoenix Heart.

“I am delighted to see another valued medical partner, Mountain Park Health Center, expand in our great city,” Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said. “The demand for both medical and office space in Goodyear shows how quickly our community is growing, and I’m excited to say a new spec development of Class A office space will soon be under way.”

Moving along, Prime Solutions Group (PSG) Inc. — located at Goodyear’s Flite campus — was awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contract by the Air Force Research Lab. The contract will support

the advancement of artificial intelligence, a key need for the Air Force and Department of Defense.

“AI applications in autonomous systems take a tremendous volume of operationally relevant data to train and learn what system responses are appropriate in specific situations. This is a huge problem for the Air Force which we propose solving by generating simulated data in high volume under realistic conditions,” explained Joe Marvin, PSG president. “The alternative is to operationally gather this data, which is cost prohibitive and presents a safety risk when operating aircraft (attended and unattended) in dangerous scenarios.”

ASU, Sensors Signals and Information Processing Center, RTSync, Lockheed Martin, IBM (Watson Labs) and Information Systems Laboratories Inc. comprise the PSG-led team.

“Our World Class team represents the global leaders in the race toward AI enabled autonomous systems,” Marvin said.

“The challenge is combining the right expertise and integrating latest information technology in ways that drive new tools, processes and even business models.

“We will apply PSG’s core expertise in synthetic aperture radar, experience and research in associated Big Data technologies, growing expertise in System of Systems simulations, and machine intelligence applications to address this problem at scale along with our excellent teammates.”

PSG has received five other SBIR contracts since 2014.

“These research contracts are a vital source of nondilutive research funding that enable us to pursue our advanced technology roadmap right here at FLITE Goodyear in the West Valley,” Marvin said. “I am proud of what we have accomplished so far, and this award sets the stage for unlimited potential.”

Finally, Anne Jensvold is the new financial advisor at Goodyear’s Edward Jones office, 700 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite 240. A financial advisor with Ed-

ward Jones for a little over two years, she previously ran an office in Ahwatukee. A Goodyear resident, however, she got the opportunity this year to work closer to home.

“I work with people planning for retirement, people living in retirement, trying to generate income throughout retirement; people planning for their children’s college savings; I work with other professionals in the community — tax professionals, attorneys, estate planners — to make sure that really every aspect of a family’s financial strategy is in place,” Jensvold explained. “I basically do that by focusing on what’s important to each individual in front of me, and then we use an established process and partner together for a lifetime to keep them on track toward that strategy.”

Prior to her time as a financial advisor, Jensvold worked at Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

Though her background was as a speech-language pathologist, an Edward Jones financial advisor patient proved to be her connection into securing her dream job.

“In a world that is very, very busy and very fast paced, we still look at things like, we’re going to treat people the way we want to be treated and we build oneon-one relationships,” she said. “So, Edward Jones, and me through Edward Jones, we actually go out into the community and meet people in the community, build genuine relationships with people so that we can best understand what is important to them and their financial situation and create a very strategic plan.”

Her hours, as listed online, are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays, and Saturdays by appointment only. For more information on Jensvold’s office, call 623-925-8243 or visit https://bit.ly/2Wk2NoR. That’s all the briefs for this week!

Odyssey football looking to continue upward trend

BY ERIC NEWMAN

West Valley View Staff Writer

Odyssey Institute celebrated its best-ever football season at the conclusion of 2018, and the team wants to do it again.

The Minotaurs were the lone unbeaten 3A team six games into the season and finished off the year with a program-best 8-3 record after losing in the first round of playoffs.

The instant turnaround surprised many of the players, including senior lineman Jonathan Velazquez. However, now that the team knows what winning — and ultimately losing in the playoffs — feels like, he said the returning players are confident they can get back there, and even further, in 2019.

“Last year was exciting, and it gives us a lot of confidence,” Velazquez said.

“But it also makes us want to show that it wasn’t just a one-time thing.”

Coach Jon Castellanos believes Odyssey is more talented than last year, with more numbers and a little bit of humble-yet-hungry swagger after a playoff season.

However, unlike many programs in Buckeye and the West Valley overall, the Minotaurs do not have a longstanding record of success.

Senior running back Chris Weaver believes another win streak and playoff berth — he said the goal is 10-0 in the

regular season — would be a step in the right direction.

“We still don’t feel like we have that respect yet from some of the teams around us,” he said. “We have to earn it with more wins.”

The work to achieve those goals began in February offseason team workouts, and has continued in spring and summer practices. The Minotaurs have competed in several passing and lineman competitions. The 3A small school often holds its own against 4-, 5- and 6A schools in the summer, which Cas-

tellanos said helps the players get used to a more physical game. Odyssey can bring that physicality to its matchups against similar-size schools, then, in season play.

Like most coaches admit, Castellanos said it is hard to take too much from summer challenges, especially seven-on-seven passing leagues, other than the time spent as a group competing together.

But, the Minotaurs need as much of that offseason activity as possible, as they are incorporating a host of play-

Holmes, an incoming junior at Millennium High School, saw his offers begin to multiply since GCU’s initial bid. Arizona State University entered the mix three weeks later.

Since then, he has seen offers from the University of New Mexico, University of California and Texas Tech University, among others. The latest in line hoping to land Holmes, the top recruit in Arizona’s 2021 class, is the University of Arizona and University of Kansas. Both UofA and Kansas made their official offers in late May. “(The Kansas offer) was really special,” Holmes said, in part due to the

Jayhawks’ perennial contention for a national championship, but also because of his family ties to the university.

“My parents both went there. My dad went there for grad school; my mom went there all four years. I also grew up in that area since I was born in Kansas,” he said.

Holmes lived in Kansas until the seventh grade, when his family moved to Arizona.

“I’ve always been a Jayhawks fan,” he said.

With two years left of high school ball, Holmes will certainly draw inter-

ers who are new or had previously quit playing but were impressed enough by the program’s direction to turn back to football.

With more players comes deeper skill level at practices, more JV opportunities, and the ability to specialize at a single position.

Castellanos said around 75% of the team played “Ironman football,” or both offense and defense, and even special teams on occasion last season. Now, with most players hopefully honing on one side of the ball, he and the coaching staff can have more time to give instructions to players during games.

“Now we’ve got the tech so when one unit comes off, the guys can look and see exactly what happened, what they did right and wrong on the big screen we have, instead of having to regroup right away and run out to play again,” he said.

There is a fun and exciting energy at Odyssey practices. Nothing less would be expected after the best season in team history. But, that does not mean the players can take it easy. The Minotaurs have unfinished business.

“I tell them, ‘Last year was great, but you haven’t won anything yet in 2019,’” Castellanos said. “If they continue to take that to heart and practice hard it’s going to be a fun season.

Millennium’s Holmes offered by UofA, Kansas

A year ago, this was a feeling DaRon Holmes had not become acquainted with yet. Receiving a scholarship from some of the top schools in the college basketball scene seemed like a faint dream.

Then, Grand Canyon University came calling, in June of 2018, pleading Holmes to bring his services to Lope Country. This, his first college basketball scholarship offer, unleashed the flood gates, bringing universities and head coaches to the 6-foot-9, 185-pound power forward in droves.

At 6-foot-9, he averaged a team-leading 19.3 points per game his sophomore season, leading the Tigers to the 5A state championship game.

He also averaged 10.7 rebounds, 4.2 blocked shots and 3.2 assists per game this season. Just once was he held to single-digit points in 26 games.

“I am very excited for DaRon and his family,” Millennium head coach Ty Amundsen said. “He has worked extremely hard on his game and is driven to be the best player he can be.

Mellon advances powerlifting career with college commitment

BY GRIFFIN FABITS West Valley View Contributing Writer

Four years ago, Luke Mellon was a football player. A freshman at Verrado High School, Mellon was working out and spending the summer training as an offensive lineman.

In an effort to build muscle and keep his players in tip-top shape, a Verrado football coach advised his players to spend the summer in the weight room.

They would begin some powerlifting program, he said.

“I fell in love with it,” Mellon said.

Fast forward to now, Mellon, who just graduated from Verrado in May, is no longer a football player. In fact, he hasn’t strapped on a football helmet or pads in two years.

Mellon is now a powerlifter, fully committed to the sport which was sparked by a seamless instruction from a football coach. And in the fall, he’ll further his career at Missouri Valley College, where he received a scholarship to join the powerlifting team.

“I’m crazy excited,” he said.

How Mellon and the coaching staff at Missouri Valley became familiar with one another perfectly encapsulates how the recruiting front has evolved in recent years, step by step with the rise of social media.

Mellon had posted a series of photos and videos from his week at the high school nationals in Louisiana in April — in which he took fourth place — on Instagram. It was a pretty innocent post, he said, meant to update his friends in the powerlifting community on how he fared at the tournament.

Several weeks later, he received an Instagram notification. It was a pending message from the head coach at Missouri Valley.

The plea was simple: “We’re looking for athletes of your caliber. Come join our team.”

Mellon toyed with the idea. He had never heard of Missouri Valley College. He really didn’t even know powerlifting in college was an option, just something he’d further pursue as he studied at Estrella Mountain Community College or Arizona State University this fall.

But, he decided to make the trip anyway. It certainly wouldn’t hurt to check out what was being offered to him, at the least.

“I decided I wanted to see the school,” he said. “And it was all through Insta-

Soon after, he officially put pen to paper, pledging his commitment to the Vikings.

As exciting as this is, perhaps it’s even sweeter that he had no idea, not even a hint of it, that any of this was possible. He always enjoyed weightlifting. He did it frequently during football workouts. But to do it competitively and focus solely on growing stronger was intriguing, he said.

As soon as they began that innocuous summer powerlifting regime four years ago, he became hooked.

“The community around powerlifting is great, especially in Arizona because it’s a big, growing community.

Everybody knows everybody; everybody hangs out with each other,” he said.

Holmes...continued from page 22 Despite the influx of offers, where Holmes will play college ball is to be determined. It’s a “waiting game” as of now, patiently standing by until the perfect fit presents itself.

“I have certain schools that I have feelings for,” he said. “But it’s definitely going to be a waiting game because you never know what can happen.”

Holmes does hope to have his decision narrowed down by his senior year, beginning in the fall of 2020.

Leading into his freshman year of high school at Millennium, basketball was never something Holmes looked too much into. A fun sport to play, sure, but probably not a sport he’d revolve his future around.

Then, he grew.

In eighth grade, Holmes was 6-foot2. Then, he sprouted a few more inches, towering up to 6-foot-5 as a freshman.

“And sophomore year, I grew a lot more,” he said, finally rounding out now at 6-foot-9.

It’s sinful, one might imagine, being 6-foot-9 and lacking a vision of dominating the paint and averaging a dou-

ble-double every night. So, naturally, as Holmes grew his love for basketball did, too. If he put in the work, he surmised, he could develop into quite the player. “(I realized I could be good) my ninth-grade year, during high school basketball and just developing, getting better, playing with the school,” he said.

His first two years of high school have allowed him to burst onto the recruiting scene, establishing himself as a top-notch talent in the state of Arizona, but Holmes believes it’s only a prelude of what is to come. This prediction of his is one that will both spook opposing teams and bring great delight to Amundsen and the Tigers.

“I think I can get a lot better, especially with the resources I have — my high school coach, my high school coaching staff and my club coach.”

Said Amundsen, “His offers will continue to come, his game will continue to evolve, and in the end he will have enough schools to make a family decision on what is the right fit for him and his family.”

Senior residency fulfills Army veteran’s wish to skydive

BY ANDREA ESTRADA West Valley View Staff Writer

It was a sunny morning with clear, blue skies, and Charlotte Gallaway was gearing up for something she had always dreamed of doing — skydiving.

Gallaway, a 57-year-old retired veteran, fell in love with the idea of jumping out of a plane when she was in the Army. At her training post, she admired the airborne soldiers wearing berets and patches on their shoulders — and wanted to be one of them. Something discouraged her, though.

“When I found out how much they ran, I was like, ‘Ah, no. I’m not going to do that,’” Gallaway said. “But I’ve always wanted to jump out of a plane.”

In late May, Mariposa Point at Algodón Center, an assisted living facility in Phoenix where Gallaway lives, teamed up with Skydive Buckeye — a family-owned skydiving center located at 3000 S. Palo Verde Road — to grant Gallaway’s wish.

“Livin’ the Dream,” a program offered by Mariposa Point, worked out everything, said Misty Sandoval, executive director of Mariposa Point. “‘Livin’ the Dream’ gives our residents the opportunity to do things that they’ve always wanted to do in their life but have never been able to do. Each quarter, we choose one of the residents. We get to know them really

with an instructor attached.

Gallaway, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) — a long-term disease that affects the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves; characterized by electric-shock sensations, lack of coordination, vision problems and problems with sexual, bowel and bladder function — sees free falling from the sky as a liberating experience.

“I deal with a lot of pain because I have MS. I figured, ‘Well, if I’m in the air, maybe I can be free — and then I’ll be painfree — at least for that moment and just Charlotte Gallaway, a 57-year-old retired veteran, got the chance to skydive thanks to Mariposa Point at Algodón Center kind of feel good,” and Skydive Buckeye. (West Valley View photo by Andrea Estrada) Gallaway said. well and something that they’ve alFamily and friends from Mariposa ways wanted to do,” Sandoval said.

Point gathered at the sky diving center “We try to make that dream come on May 30 to cheer Gallaway on. Trutrue.” dy LaChapelle, who has known GallThe program signed Gallaway up away for 15 years, traveled from Los for a tandem jump — one where she Angeles to show her support. jumped from a plane at 10,500 feet “She’s an awesome woman of God.

She’s been through so many challenges. Two years ago she lost her beloved husband and then she was diagnosed with different illnesses. But she’s come out strong and victorious,” LaChapelle said.

LaChapelle believes the skydive experience is a stepping stone to bigger things for Charlotte.

“I expect for her to come out just more encouraged — to look for the next challenge. This is just the beginning.”

Sandoval said Mariposa Point feels fortunate to have the resources to fulfill dreams like that one of Gallaway.

“It means everything. We’re very resident-centered, and we like to do everything for our residents individually. We really want to make sure each of our residents — whether it’s ‘Living the Dream’ or something they want to do on a day-to-day basis — is active, and they’re doing exactly what they want to do,” Sandoval said.

Gallaway is a prime example of that person-centered, exceptional care.

“I just thank God that I’m here. (The) place where I live is a wonderful place.

I’m blessed to be here,” Gallaway said.

And to anyone with a dream, Gallaway encourages them to pursue what they love.

“Follow your dreams and never give up,” she said.

Pendergast faculty wins big for perfect attendance WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF

The Pendergast Elementary School District appreciates its teachers.

So, three were selected for various giveaways at the Perfect Attendance Celebration on May 24.

Joseph Schaefer, a 10-year veteran music teacher from Canyon Breeze Elementary School in Avondale, received a new Ford Focus, while Desert Horizon School’s Pam Gosnell and Copper King School’s Charniclyn Silfavan won Rocky Point, Mexico, vacations and $1,000 cash.

Schaefer inherited his previous car from his godfather, who passed away

last year. It was transportation, but because of the condition Schaefer had to jumpstart it to get to and from work each day.

Despite his excitement and appreciation about receiving a new car, Schaefer found himself equally surprised.

“I have never won anything in my life. I work for the best school and district in the state with the very best superintendent, Dr. Lily DeBlieux. She believes in us and gives us the support we need to be successful,” he said.

The car was donated by the Pendergast Foundation, with funds collected during various fundraising events

throughout the year including Jeans Day. That district “holiday” allows employees to support the foundation and in return wear jeans on Friday.

In response to her own recognition, Silfavan shared, “I’m so blessed to win this trip. For me, I do believe that if you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hands. I am so grateful for this opportunity.”

DeBlieux added, “I couldn’t be prouder of the 54 employees who achieved perfect attendance this year.

These employees are dedicated to their students, their schools and district and we are happy to invest in them.

“Thanks to the Pendergast Foundation for all they do throughout the year to support our students, staff, families and the communities we serve. They are an amazing group of individuals who volunteer countless hours of their time. Our attendance has improved significantly with this program and our staff is excited to come to work each day to inspire our students.”

Pendergast District is hiring for the 2019-20 school year. Visit the website at pesd92.org/employment.html for further information or to apply and join the Pendergast family of educators and educational support personnel.

Pastor Delph: The magnetic gift of likability

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JUNE 12, 2019

Have you noticed that some people are just naturally likable? They find it easy. Other people may not have the intangible of likability; however, with a little awareness of likability, can be just as likable as those who find it easy.

Here’s a story of likability in action.

“I ran short of money while visiting my brother and borrowed $50 from him. After I returned home, I wrote my brother a short letter every few weeks, enclosing a $5 check in each one of the letters. He called me up and told me how much he enjoyed the letters, regardless of the money. I had never written my brother regularly before.

Eventually I sent off the last letter and the $5 check in it. In my mailbox the next week, I found an envelope from my brother. Inside was another $50.”

Sometimes likability is as simple as this story.

I realize not everyone wants to be likable. But I think most people would rather be likable. This article is for those of us who want to grow in our likability. I want to make us aware of the amazing power of likability.

When I say likability, I’m not talking about people using likability for their own ego-driven ends. That repels most people. I’m talking about likability with honor. Likability is where people like and respect you for just being you. Likability is others centered, not self-centered. Likability is awareness in action.

Let’s explore some suggestions about likability from life coach Jonathan Wells. There’s nothing new in these suggestions. We have the knowledge of likeability. The key is in being intentional in applying these suggestions in everyday life.

The first suggestion is to intentionally say please and thank you. The Bible says love is not rude. People turn off when others turn on their rudeness.

When you want something, say please.

Visit us online at: www.westvalleyview.com

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph West Valley View Columnist

When someone does something nice for you, say thank you. When we say please or thank you, we are recognizing there is someone else on the earth besides us that matters. We need a bit more of that these days.

Secondly, follow the golden rule. Jesus said it. “Treat others the way you would want to be treated.” There would be no murder, no gossip, no backbiting and no stealing if everyone applied this.

Then people can spend time going forward rather than unpacking emotional baggage from being treated wrongly in the past.

Thirdly, work with others. Help and serve someone, with no agenda. For example, make it easier for others at the grocery store by getting your cart out of the aisle. Work with others, not

O B S T E T R I C S • G Y N E C O L O G Y

against others. Value people and they will value you. Make a deposit and get a return.

The next suggestion is smile and smile often. Smiling tends to elevate your mood. Smiling also lifts the spirits of those you smile at. If you don’t believe me, try this little experiment.

For an entire day, before you say a word to anyone, smile first. Notice their reaction. Most will smile back.

That’s likability.

Here’s a hard one. Say “I’m sorry.”

If you wrong someone, or if you make a mistake, or if you hurt another person (intentionally or unintentionally), apologize for it. Don’t justify or play the blame game. We can’t fix a personal problem if we are always fixing the blame on others.

One of the best ways to be viewed as more likable is to be a good listener.

It’s not easy. Listening is often the only thing needed to help someone. Listening tells others that you are genuinely interested in them as a person. Who doesn’t like that?

Consider the power of a sincere com-

pliment. Have you ever received an unexpected compliment? It was nice, wasn’t it? In a world that tends to be overly critical, a sincere compliment can be very encouraging. Your mood should not dictate your manners. That’s likability in action.

And finally, laugh! Laughing is an instant vacation. Everyone likes to laugh. Laughing releases endorphins.

That makes you feel happy and relaxed. When you laugh, you are encouraging others to laugh, too. When you contribute to the happiness of others, most people can’t help liking you.

Think about it. Your laugh may be for others also.

There you go! The world is filled with nice people. If you can’t find one … be one. Make your day better by making other’s days better by the power of likability.

Opera Theatre of Saint Louis is one of the leading American opera companies, known for a spring festival of inventive new productions, sung in English, featuring world-renowned singers and accompanied by members of the St. Louis Symphony.

The company shares performance and creative space with Conservatory students, in addition to providing master classes, internships, and employing students each season in multiple backstage roles.

Goodyear resident Corey Johnson graduated from the University of Findlay with a Master of Science in Environmental, Safety and Health Management.

Johnson was invited to walk in the university’s commencement ceremo-

nies on May 4. More than 800 graduates earned doctoral, master’s, bachelor’s or associate degrees for the 2018-19 academic year.

Goodyear resident Aaron Ramos, a sophomore at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, was named a second team selection for the All-Sun Belt Conference for the 2018-19 men’s golf season.

“This helps solidify what was a record-breaking year for our team, and it’s a great way to end a season,” head coach Jake Harrington said. “Aaron was our most consistent player, especially down the stretch, and he was someone we could rely on in big tournaments.”

Ramos posted his best season as a Trojan in 2018-19, registering a 71.94 scoring average, ranking third in program history. He is just the third golfer to finish a season with a sub72 average. Ramos was one of two Trojans to compete in all 11 events of the year, notching 15 rounds of par-or-better and three top-10 tournament finishes, shooting in the 60s seven times.

In his two years in Little Rock, Ramos has been in the Trojan lineup for all 22 events and currently boasts a 73.52 career scoring average, which ranks fourth all time. The Goodyear native has shot par-orbetter in 23 of his 65 rounds played with four top-10 finishes and seven top-20 showings.
