Controversy hampers Goodyear’s Nike deal

BY ANDREA ESTRADA

West Valley View Staff Writer

The Goodyear City Council welcomed Nike to town July 1 after unanimously approving their job creation agreement worth $483.4 million in total economic impact over five years.

With Gov. Doug Ducey, it was a bit different. He slammed the athletic shoe company on Twitter after it recalled its Air Max 1 USA sneakers on brand ambassador/former NFL star Colin Kaepernick’s suggestion.

Ducey said recalling the Betsy Ross American flag-themed shoes was a “terrible decision.”

In an early morning Twitter rant, Ducey said, “Instead of celebrating American history the week of our nation’s Independence Day, Nike has apparently decided that Betsy Nike’s Air Max 1 USA Betsy Ross-inspired shoes are now going for thousands on resale sites after the company pulled them from store shelves.

PebbleCreek residents frustrated with flooding

BY ANDREA ESTRADA

West Valley View Staff Writer

Residents of Goodyear’s PebbleCreek say they are fed up with flooding issues they’ve been dealing with since 2017.

Janet Kirshbaum is among the vocal residents raising concerns about unpredict-

able, off-and-on floods in the community.

For her, the problem is just feet away from her backyard, which opens into the Bullard Wash, a federal waterway that cuts through PebbleCreek and mainly carries tailwater.

That tailwater, which a 2018 study de-

termined has too many contributing sources, decreases mobility and poses safety hazards in the gated property, Kirshbaum said.

“The water is saturating the road.

Valley Metro Boards of Directors elect new officers

By West Valley View Staff

The Valley Metro Regional Public Transportation Authority and Valley Metro Rail Boards of Directors have elected officers for the Fiscal Year 2020 term, July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020.

The boards help guide the agencies by providing transportation leadership to best serve the region and its communities. The audit and finance subcommittee was formed after passage of Proposition 400 to provide policy oversight of the expanded financial activities.

Among those elected was Goodyear Vice Mayor Bill Stipp to the Valley Metro Rail Board, along with Chairwoman/Tempe City Councilwoman Robin Arredondo-Savage; and Vice Chairman/ Mesa Councilman Francisco Heredia.

The Valley Metro RPTA Board Officers are Chairman/Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke; Vice Chairman/Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego and Treasurer/ Peoria Councilman Jon Edwards.

The Audit and Finance Subcommit-

tee members are Glendale Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff, Mesa City Councilman Francisco Heredia, Gallego and Arredondo-Savage.

Valley Metro RPTA provides coordinated, multi-modal transit options to Valley residents. With a core mission of connecting communities and enhancing lives, Valley Metro plans, develops and operates regional bus service and alternative transportation programs for commuters, seniors and people with disabilities. The board is comprised of elected officials from 17 cities or towns and Maricopa County.

Valley Metro Rail plans, constructs, operates and maintains light rail and high-capacity systems in the greater Phoenix area. The board is comprised of elected officials from four member cities who provide policy direction for rail service.

Nike...continued from page 1 Fernandez, whose district will host Nike’s new facility, called Ducey’s Tweets upsetting.

“I’m very dismayed that the governor sent out that Tweet,” Fernandez said.

“I’m expecting that this is a business that will bring good jobs, over 500, and that was only phase one. From the understanding, is that they may come in with a phase two that will bring in even more jobs,” she said.

“Gov. Ducey has said it himself, ‘We’re open for business.’ He’s talked about loosening regulations so more people will want to come to Arizona and work here and bring their businesses and their families and add to the workforce.”

Those on the other side of the issue, though, said they agree with Ducey.

Eric Sloan, a Republican candidate for Arizona Corporate Commission, showed his support for the governor through a July 2 statement.

“I am proud to support the governor and his strong decision, especially regarding the recent news about Nike’s decision to pull the Betsy Ross flag off its (shelves), because irrelevant Colin Kaepernick said it was offensive,” Sloan said.

“As an honorary commander at Luke Air Force Base, I’m happy the governor isn’t giving a platform to companies that are embarrassed and retreat from our great country and its flourishing heritage.”

Emery McClendon, a member of Project 21 Black Leadership Network, told West Valley View he also stands with Ducey.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 10, 2019

“I agree with (Ducey) in that there has to be some integrity, and people must stand their ground on what they believe in. These large companies that make these idiotic moves to do things because of one person or because of a small minority in the public...that affects millions of other people in a negative way need to be either reprimanded, or in this case, denied contracts or denied tax abatements or whatever they will be receiving from the municipality,” McClendon said.

Amid the controversy, on July 2 Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord announced Goodyear would continue to move forward with its Nike agreement, which will total more than $483.4 million in total economic impact over the next five years.

“The city of Goodyear has found itself in the middle of a difficult situation,” Lord said in a statement.

“We will honor the commitment we made in our agreement. It has been a focus of the Goodyear City Council to build a strong economy for years to come and we will continue to work hard to bring the kind of high-quality jobs that our residents deserve.”

West Valley View has reached out to Nike for comment, but the company, as of press time, had not responded.

By West Valley View Staff

The Avondale City Council recently adopted a $236.7 million budget for the 20192020 fiscal year on June 3. It’s a decrease of $7.1 million from the previous year.

The budget became effective on July 1 and includes a decrease in the total city property tax rate from $1.7618 per $100 of assessed valuation to $1.6542 per $100 of assessed valuation, which was formally approved by council on June 17.

“Avondale’s core purpose is providing city services for public benefit, and as such, we remain mindful of how taxpayers’ dollars are spent,” said Charles Montoya, Avondale city manager.

“This means taking a conservative approach to the budget and our planned expenditures. As in years past, we developed a fiscally responsible plan while maintaining exceptional service and quality operations for our residents.”

The approved budget includes funding for the following: 11 additional police department positions; seven-day-a-week coverage of park ranger security at Avondale city parks; an upgrade to the city’s

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system; additional leadership positions, the purchase of additional on-officer body cameras, and more funding for Avondale special events.

The capital improvement plan (CIP) budget includes funding for an expanded police property and evidence facility; a new resource center; the widening of 107th Avenue/McDowell Road, and large diameter sewer line repair and system improvements. In addition, the budget also includes funding for the continuation of the Economic Opportunities Incentive program to promote development growth and employment opportunities in the city.

The budget process for FY 2019-2020 kicked off with the Council Goal-Setting Retreat on December 10, 2018, during which council outlined its priorities for the

Flooding...continued from page 1 by the residents here for riding bikes, walking, and to get their golf carts to and from wherever they’re going. Of course, (water) stops it. It stops any of that.” Kirshbaum said. “People can’t go through there.”

Longtime PebbleCreek resident Grant Hachmann said he is one of those people. Hachmann, who relies on his golf cart for transportation, said he can’t get around when flows are deep.

“I can get through with my car because I have an SUV. But I can’t get through often in my golf cart because the water is too deep. It’ll come up into the batteries and have a big, big problem,” Hachmann said.

“I can’t go to the clubhouse; I can’t go to the fitness center in my golf cart.

It basically cuts me off from the rest of the subdivision.”

PebbleCreek’s general manager, Bill Barnard, said while floodwater limits access to the roads, “you can get around it; it’s just inconvenient to get around it.” Barnard, who has been documenting the floods since late 2017, said, based on how they flow onto the roads, floods fall under three categories: heavy, moderate and light.

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 10, 2019

“You have to be careful when they say, ‘Oh, it’s flooded all the time.’

For example, we had 38 days in 2018 where the wash was running. That’s 38 days out of 365. Of those days, 11 were heavy flows,” Barnard said. “It is an ongoing problem, no doubt about it.

It’s a nuisance. It’s hard for people to walk through it when it’s heavy.”

Hachmann and Kirshbaum said their concerns go beyond the roads, though.

They claim standing water is spawning infestation.

“It’s not only the ‘over-the-road’ thing. All these lots here behind are standing water, and we know that does nothing but breed mosquitoes and whatever else may come about,” Hachmann said, pointing toward Kirshbaum’s yard.

Kirshbaum added, “Like two Thanksgivings in a row, ’17 and ’18, we always have company from out of town; we can’t sit out in our backyard because of the mosquitoes. It’s really bad.”

But Barnard said there is no standing water.

“If we see standing water, we treat it with larvicide. There’s no infestation because of the Bullard Wash. Now, the neighbors may tell you that. They like

to use that as a point of contention,” he said.

PebbleCreek’s homeowners association is working with the city of Goodyear, Barnard said. A team of engineers is working on a possible solution.

“The only solution I can do is improve the roads. I can’t stop the water; I can’t put a wall up. That is what we’re doing as an HOA, is looking to improve our roads,” Barnard said. “We’ve got an engineer looking at either putting culverts under the road or trying to divert the water so it doesn’t affect PebbleCreek residents who rely on their golf carts as a mode of transportation can’t get through our residents as much. deep flows on Robson Circle.

Avondale updating development fees

By West Valley View Staff

The city of Avondale’s updated development fee schedule takes effect on August 1.

The updated development fees conform with the revised requirements of the development fee enabling legislation.

These fees are charged to contribute to costs associated with infrastructure and public services that need to be expanded as a direct result of new development in the city of Avondale, as defined in the general plan.

As required by statute, the Avondale City Council conducted all required

public hearings for input and discussion on the city’s land use assumptions, infrastructure improvements plan and final calculated fees.

Development fees must be updated within every five years. The prior fees went into effect August 2, 2014.

The new rates are available online at avondaleaz.gov/government/departments/finance-budget/budget-and-financial-reports/development-fee-update.

Litchfield Park woman quits her job to help less fortunate in the Valley

BY CARRIE SNIDER

West Valley View Contributing Writer

Maria Saenz’s garage doesn’t have cars in it. For a while, it was a game room for her teenage children and their friends. That changed last fall when she cleared it out to make way for something else.

At the time, she was working for a law firm and was asked to bring papers to sign to a client’s residence. Saenz knocked on the door of the single mom’s one-bedroom apartment, where the woman and her eight children lived.

The tiny space housed a lot of people, but not much in the way of worldly possessions. She couldn’t see any furniture. She felt for this struggling family and all they lacked.

“I went home and thought, ‘I have to do something,’” she said.

With the help of her family, Saenz loaded a living room set from the garage and some air mattresses from their camping gear, and delivered it all to the needy family.

“The kids’ facial expressions showed how they felt,” Saenz said.

It was a moment she would never

forget.

From there on, Saenz realized she could do even more for this family if she asked for help from the communi-

ty. After posting about it on community pages on Facebook, she soon received donations of other items the family desperately needed, like a playpen for

the baby and clothing for the children.

“I sent picture of the finished rooms to those who donated,” Saenz said.

She then realized that with additional support, she could facilitate donations to others beyond just the one family.

So, Saenz started a Facebook page called “Maria’s Mission” on October 1, and has already amassed nearly 600 “likes.”

“I didn’t think it was going to take off,” she said.

But it did.

So much so that she quit her job. Now, her garage is full of donated items that will go to those in need. Saenz helps families all over the Valley by way of furniture, clothing, books, small appliances, toiletries and other home goods.

And as of about a month ago, 100 families had received donated items.

When people come to her in search of something she doesn’t already have available — like a microwave, baby clothes or a bed — she asks for it on her Facebook page.

“Something as small as a bed to sleep in can make all the difference in someone’s life,” Saenz wrote on the “About” section on her Facebook page.

For Saenz, that hits close to home.

Nearly 20 years ago, Saenz merely 18, pregnant and alone. She slept on the floor.

“A coworker picked me up on the way to work, and she saw the conditions I was living in,” Saenz said. “She asked coworkers for donations, and by that weekend I had everything I needed.”

But receiving a bed and other essential items, while a huge blessing, was only part of the experience. When someone notices someone else’s situation and takes steps to help, that love and caring can be passed on.

That is why Saenz does what she does.

Though she used to spend a lot of time doing pick-ups and deliveries herself, it was ultimately too taxing for one person. Now, Saenz asks for those who donate or those in need to arrange drop-offs or deliveries when possible.

With how far things have come in such a short time, Saenz said it shows that people do want to help their fellow men. In fact, she wondered if there could be more of this type of thing throughout the Valley.

“Let’s get another one, she said. “The more people in the Valley we can help, the better.”

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

MARGULIES’ OPINION — jimmymargulies.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Incentives for Nike rescinded Gov. Doug Ducey:

I am disappointed in your decision to rescind incentives for Nike in response to the controversy surrounding their decision to pull their line of “Betsy Ross” sneakers.

First and foremost, I do not believe it is the role of the government to get involved in the product and branding decisions of private companies. As a private company, they should be allowed to make decisions they feel are best for their customers and shareholders, without repercussions from the government.

As a public official, you should not be politicizing the business decisions of a private corporation. Whether or not Nike’s decision affects their bottom line should be left to the American consumer, not the government.

Additionally, I think the public comments you’ve made regarding your decision are either consciously misleading or woefully simplistic. You stated, “American businesses should be proud of our country’s history, not abandoning it.” Slavery and discrimination are part of this country’s history and not something to be proud of. To claim we should be proud of our history, full stop, without recognizing the injustices our country codified into law is completely disingenuous. Nike’s decision does not “consciously denigrate our nation’s history;” it acknowledges the injustices of our past and considers the negative impact certain historical symbols have on a systematically disenfranchised subset of our citizenry. There is an important distinction between denigrating our history and taking a hard, honest look at our history. By contrast, your comments oversimplify and fully disregard the larger conversation our country needs to have regarding race relations. As an elected official, I expect you to have the courage to take the time to reflect on the deeper issues involved in Nike’s decision, rather than making reactionary policy changes on the superficial

issues in less than 24 hours.

As an Arizonan and a voter, I think you would be better serving our state to take a more nuanced view into how Nike has come to their decision rather than making a knee-jerk decision that is against the conservative ideals of free enterprise and only serves to placate the far-right base. You are concerned that Nike is “abandoning” our country’s history; I implore you to not abandon our marginalized citizens and our country’s future.

Zack Griendling Phoenix

4th of July patriotism

Editor: First of all, I used to live in Avondale. The Democrats were complaining about the Fourth of July activities in Washington because there are tanks on static display and military flyovers.

How many of them served in the military? It is unpatriotic, and the money should be spent somewhere else.

I currently live in San Diego, where there is a huge military presence. I would invite them to come to our subdivision, where the majority of the homes fly the American flag, plus our streets are lined with American flags.

They complain about the Blue Angels flyover. The Air Force Thunderbirds fly over all major sporting events. If the Democrats had their way, as long as President Trump is in office, we should cancel all activities involving the flag, flyovers and fireworks since they are red, white and blue.

People complained about the new Nike shoe having the Betsy Ross flag on the back. The flag contained 13 stars in a circle. How many stripes does the American flag have? Thirteen. Good for Arizona pulling the funds on your new Nike plant in Goodyear. Be proud of the American flag and what it stands for. I am a Vietnam veteran, wore the flag proudly, and display the American and Air Force flags from my home.

Harvey L. New San Diego

Thank you, public safety leaders Editor:

An April 2018 report titled “Cost and Benefits Of Body-Worn Camera Deployments” by the Police Executive Research Forum details that Phoenix PD participated in a pilot program on the positive effects of body-worn cameras (BWC) as far back as 2011. But the city did not take action on expanding the program beyond 10% of its sworn force until February 6.

Unfortunately, now the taxpayers may have to pay the bill to settle multimillion dollar claims that, potentially, could have been avoided, dismissed or mitigated with the use of a BWC. According to the 2018 report, 85% of agencies are happy with their BWCs, and nine out of 10 of these agencies using BWCs do so to promote accountability, transparency and legitimacy to demonstrate their actions as well as a strong desire to build trust and foster relationships with their communities to ensure that their practices are consistent with the expectations and values of the community.

Because our collective and genuine appreciation for public safety professions — including fire, paramedic, military and health care personnel — in the West Valley is so palpable, it is no coincidence our respect is felt and, in turn, paid forward in the daily deeds of these first responders to our neigh-

bors in need. Our gratitude is also owed to our local elected officials and city leaders who know that the budget to implement and sustain programs such as BWCs far outweigh the cost of human lives, taxpayer funded lawsuit settlements and the sense of peace that empowers a community thrive economically and culturally.

We are so fortunate to have this high level of accountability, integrity and transparency in our West Valley police departments. The eager adoption of BWCs is a sign of forward-thinking police chiefs who embrace proactive technological innovation in community policing, and the mere presence of BWCs fosters de-escalation while documenting the high standards of professional conduct police officers deliver on a daily basis. Thank you, public safety leaders.

Maricopa County elections are improving

12

OPINION

BY STEVE CHUCRI

Maricopa County Supervisor

Building on a year’s worth of momentum, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors just took an important step to restore our statutory responsibilities related to elections.

These responsibilities were given to the recorder’s office as part of a charter that dates back to 1955 and hasn’t been amended since 1985. Clearly, our region is much different than it was back then. Rather than have one, partisan elected official responsible for overseeing all election activities, Maricopa County should align its operations with what is written in state law.

You may not realize this, but under state statute, county recorders in Arizona are given responsibility for several activities leading up to Election Day including voter registration and early voting. State law gives Boards of Supervisors responsibility for much of what happens on Election Day, including the location and number of polling places, the equipment to count votes, and the training and assigning of poll

• The board will execute election day statutory activities. These activities include poll worker training and chain of custody of tabulation equipment and ballots.

This is about moving away from the past — from old technology and a decades-old charter to running elections in a way befitting the Maricopa County of tomorrow. We’re the fourth-largest county in America. People expect us to get it right. These changes are designed to ensure we have the proper checks and balances to serve all voters in 2020 and beyond.

In the meantime, know that our eye is on the ball. We are focused on successful elections in 2020.

With this newly amended agreement that allows for collaboration with the recorder’s office, we are better equipped for a successful election in 2020.

Homelessness in Goodyear: Taking action

BY GOODYEAR MAYOR GEORGIA LORD

Homelessness is not a crime, but it is a rising problem across the state of Arizona—even in Goodyear. Due to increasing concerns over the issue of homelessness, the city is finding ways to keep our community safe while providing much-needed resources to those individuals in need.

The Goodyear Police Department has developed the Homeless Outreach Team (H.O.T.). The team focuses on a proactive approach by making direct contact with those living on the streets.

They’ve created a database of homeless individuals, and the locations where camps are set up. If necessary, officers will make arrests for trespassing violations, outstanding warrants, drug activity or other crimes.

Since September 2018, when H.O.T. was established, the team has successfully connected approximately 50 individuals with services, including housing and mental health support, in an effort to get them off the streets.

Goodyear officers have also made approximately 50 arrests so far.

The team is finding ways to educate residents and businesses on what they can do to help with homelessness. Many people feel compassion but aren’t sure what role they can play. Unfortunately, many homeless people are dealing with bigger issues, such as mental illness and addiction, which keep them in the vicious cycle of homelessness.

The Goodyear Police Department

advises the well-intentioned public not to give money to the homeless, but instead, to support the efforts of non-profit organizations who are well-equipped and trained to help. Those organizations include: Phoenix Rescue Mission; Agua Fria Clothing and Food Bank; Angels on Patrol; A New Leaf Shelter; Lutheran Social Services of the West Valley; and Community Bridges.

In other words, give real change rather than spare change.

Business Briefcase

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

West Valley View Managing Editor

Hello, readers! I’m just going to go straight ahead and let you know this week, and even next, are packed with business news. With so much great development and construction underway in the West Valley, there’s much to address. This week, it ranges all the way from West Phoenix to way out in Buckeye.

And don’t worry; for those interested, I will include other business-related news for good measure. But let’s get into it. Let’s start with that Phoenix business I noted. Here’s the news!

First, PT Pho Express opened a location at 2632 S. 83rd Avenue, Suite 112. Technically in Phoenix, yes, but this is just a bit east of Tolleson. (A

Buckeye location is also marked as “coming soon” on its website, and I hope to have more information in the future.) The popular, growing, Valleywide Vietnamese eatery boasts offerings like spring rolls, crispy rolls, burritos, salads, bánh mì and, of course, pho. But that’s just a start. Check it out sometime. For more information, visit ptphoexpress.com or find it on Facebook @ptpho83rd.

Next up, there’s not much here in the way of details, but a reader inquired about Amazon. According to this reader, the company is rumored to be moving its air freight operation — Amazon Air — from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to Phoenix Goodyear Airport. City reps, however, said they are not aware of such

Finally, unfortunately there isn’t specific confirmation yet, but it’s at least worth mentioning that Taco Redempcion owner Tina Beatty said she is “confident” her new fast-casual, family-friendly Mexican food restaurant will open in the next few weeks. Originally slated to open in February, the Goodyear eatery hit a snag in construction, she said. I’ll keep you posted, readers, on official date confirmation.

As previously covered in Business Briefcase, Beatty’s restaurant will include dine-in and carry-out options ranging from different types of tacos to burritos, quesadillas, tostadas, enchiladas, churros and more, as well as low-fat and vegetarian options.

Taco Redempcion is at 560 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite 12, near the southwest corner of Estrella Parkway and Van Buren Street, south of I-10. For more information, visit tacoredempcion.com or find it on Facebook @ tacoredempcion.

That’s all the briefs for this week!

rumors. As of print time, the company has not responded to the West Valley View’s inquiry.

Moving along, much discussion has surrounded Home2 Suites by Hilton in Buckeye. Well, the company recently announced its “topping off,” or the installation of the final beam of the structural framework and roof.

Still slated to open in December at 955 S. Watson Road, south of I-10, the four-story, 90-suite hotel is near Sundance Towne Center.

Upon completion, Hilton’s Buckeye hotel suites will feature fully equipped kitchens, modular furniture, complimentary internet, communal spaces, and amenities like a combined laundry and fitness area, a market for grab-and-go items, and complimentary breakfast. Customer loyalty program Hilton Honors will be valid, too. For more information on Home2 Suites by Hilton, visit home2suites.com or news. home2suites.com.

In other business news, Powers-Leavitt Insurance Agency received Leavitt Group’s Agency Excellence Award, and was commended for its growth, profitability and customer service. Local co-owner Charlene Powers accepted the award at an annual conference in Las Vegas.

Litchfield Park Little League All-Stars advance to state tourney

BY GRIFFIN FABITS

West Valley View Contributing Writer

Chasing a two-run deficit in the waning innings of the District 2 championship game, the Litchfield Park Little League’s under-12 All-Stars team used an extra-innings rally and a strong effort from its bullpen to escape with a thrilling one-run victory against Deer Valley Little League on June 28.

The win propelled Litchfield Park to the state tournament in Kingman beginning July 15.

“That was probably one of the best little league games that I have ever been a part of,” head coach Cory Acton said. “And I’ve been a part of a few.”

Litchfield Park had been trailing by a pair of runs for a majority of the game, until it pushed across the tying run in the later innings. In the top of the seventh, LPLL scored the go-ahead run, and promptly struck out the side in Deer Valley’s final at-bats.

“We had the lead for one half inning of the entire game, and that was the championship,” Acton chuckled.

Acton’s squad, a roster of 13 comprised of the best 11- and 12-year-olds

Litchfield Park Little League’s 12u All-Star team is Kingman bound for the state tournament after winning the District 2 Championship on June 28. (Photo courtesy Clint Hickman)

in the LPLL, will travel to Kingman in mid-July for a showdown against “a dozen or more teams” spanning the state. Litchfield Park will begin tournament play Monday, July 15, against a Scottsdale team.

It’s a double-elimination tournament

— and one that could stretch into the following week, needing to win a minimum of four games in order to advance.

If Litchfield Park leaves Kingman with another first-place trophy, the team will advance to a Super-Regionals round in San Bernardino, California. The fi-

nal destination, should Litchfield Park reach, resides in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, where the famed Little League World Series is held each summer.

In Kingman, Acton believes he has the personnel to contend for a state title. Roughly half of the roster plays together on Acton’s club baseball team throughout the year.

“I’m counting on our pitching to keep us in ballgames,” he said. “We’ve got a couple kids who can knock the ball around, some savvy base runners. We manufacture runs. We’re not a home run-hitting team — we have a few guys who can knock it over, but we’re more of a manufacturing and small-ball type of team.”

The joyous spirit of Little League baseball is simply contagious. As fun as this run has been for the players, Acton and his coaching staff are having the time of their lives, too.

“Watching your kid, as well as the other kids who you’re around a lot, and seeing them have success — at the end of the day, Little League really is all about having fun,” Acton said.

“The reward is seeing them have a good time, regardless of the outcome.”

In honor of Kyle Busch’s 2018 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Semifinal win at ISM Raceway, the track is giving away No. 18 Toyota Camry for Joe Gibbs Racing bobbleheads.

Limited-edition bobbleheads of the NASCAR superstar will be distributed to the first 1,500 fans who enter the INfield with an INfield wristband when gates open for the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Semifinal Playoff Race on Sunday, November 10.

“We’re pleased to make an exclusive bobblehead a part of our INfield Experience again this November,” said Julie Giese, president of ISM Raceway.

“Kyle Busch has been a frequent visitor to our all-new Gatorade Victory Lane and this is a unique opportunity for Rowdy Nation to get their hands on a bobblehead of their favorite driver.”

To having the chance to take home this commemorative bobblehead, fans who purchase INfield access will get an unparalleled race experience with fan-interactive garages bringing them closer to their favorite teams and drivers than ever before. Fans will also get an up close-and-personal look at postrace celebrations in Gatorade Victory Lane, as well as exclusive amenities like the Miller Lite Beer Garden and the Portacool Chill Zone.

Adult and junior price options for tickets and INfield access to the 2019 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Semifinal Weekend are available for purchase online at ISMRaceway.com, by phone at 1-866-408-RACE (7223) or in person at the ISM Raceway ticket office.

Agua Fria Toastmasters

The West Valley View publishes on Wednesday. The 9 Days a Week calendar — a listing of entertainment events such as concerts, theatrical performances, events for schools, churches, county parks and nonprofit groups — runs every issue.

Events must be open to the public to be considered and generally must be held within the View’s coverage area, which is south of Northern Avenue, west of Loop 101, plus all of Tolleson, extending to Estrella in the south and Tonopah in the west. Events such as concerts and theatrical performances that fall outside the View’s circulation area will be considered because there are no concert halls or theater venues within our boundaries.

9 Days a Week calendar items print on a space-available basis.

The only way to guarantee that an item will print is to purchase an advertisement.

Submissions must reach our office by 4 p.m. Wednesday to be considered for the following Wednesday publication. Submissions must be in writing and may be emailed to Rachel Hagerman, rhagerman@ timespublications.com or faxed to 623-935-2103.

When ‘who moved my cheese’ happens Have you ever considered that good changes can come from crisis or even dry times in your life? Perhaps God is saying, “Hey, I love you but now it’s time to change directions and locations because I’m repositioning you. Let’s get you to the place where you can say, ‘Wow. I was born for this!’”

How important is it to be in the right spot or the wrong spot? Read this.

Heaven is where: the police are British, the chefs are Italian, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French and it’s all organized by the Swiss.

Hell is where: the police are German, the chefs are British, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss and it’s all organized by the Italians. Enough said.

There is a book written on this idea.

It’s called “Who Moved My Cheese” and it’s a bestseller. Why? Because there’s a lot of cheese being moved

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

around these days! Like a rat in a maze, the location of our cheese or “success” has changed. Someone moved our cheese! Don’t panic; the cheese is there. We just need to change directions and find it again.

Many have experienced great success in an area, and then suddenly that success disappears. That’s when the 50-50-90 rule visits us. The 50-50-90 rule goes like this. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% chance you will get it wrong.

If you are the person whose cheese has moved, could it be God wants to move us to another place? I’m not saying you should quit. Sometimes we need to persevere. But sometimes sound wisdom dictates a change in our direction, our career or whatever. Most times, it’s more courageous to let go then to continue doing the same thing, again and again, expecting different results.

Consider this example. A motorist was talking about all the trouble he’s had driving to and from work lately.

It used to be easy, he said. No traffic problems, no mad rat race. But now cars are coming from all directions.

“And, it’s been that way ever since I got my new glasses,” he added. Once he got his vision renewed, he became aware he was a danger to himself and others. God graciously protected him from learning the lesson that present victories often carry in them the seeds of future defeats.

Even the early Apostles in the Bible learned that there is such a time as “this” and such a time as “that.” Let’s glean from what the Apostle Paul learned about in changing directions and locations with a new way of doing things.

Paul’s early ministry was primarily to the Jewish people. But as he grew in knowing God and making God known, God changed locations on him. His “normal” was staying mainly in Asia Minor, speaking mainly to Jewish people about Jesus and the church. But as Paul and his team traveled deeper into Asia Minor, the Holy Spirit forbade them to speak the word in Asia. Now being accustomed to their “normal,” they kept going the same direction they always had. They liked their cheese.

Then, the Spirit of Jesus appeared and did not permit them. Wow, the Holy Spirit and Jesus did not permit them.

I can see Paul and his team saying, “Who moved my cheese?”

There’s a message here. Sometimes you need to persevere when a door closes. If a door closes, try to open it again.

It’s a door. That’s how doors work. But, if after unsuccessfully trying several times to open a door, get the message.

Dude, it’s someone else’s door. Or should I say someone else’s cheese?

Here’s the rest of the story. Amid this confusing, confounding, “where’s-mycheese” moment, guess who shows up with the new normal? God. God gave Paul a new vision, a new direction, a new ministry and new location in order to usher in a new season. The vision was of a man from Macedonia (Greece) standing and appealing Paul to come over to Macedonia and help them.

“And when he (Paul) had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.” Acts 16:10. In other words, God moved the cheese to Europe. Paul and his team knew it was God. Notice the pronouns. The vision moved from a “he” to a “we” to an “us” to a “them.”

Then God sent a Roman businesswoman to finance the new venture.

God started with a vision. A vision is a compelling picture of a preferable picture that motivates one to perform.

People perish without a vision because vision gives life. Vision gives us a road map. After the vision, Paul’s singular “he” moved to a “we” to reach “them.”

The vision given to Paul changed his life, his team’s lives, the lives of Europeans, and the whole world. It’s called repositioning. Location, location, location!

Maybe you are in the same position Paul was in. I encourage you to be open to a new vision if what worked in the past is not working anymore. Then, like Paul and his team, when you find your cheese again, you can say, “I was born for this!”

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO West Valley View Staff Writer

The reality show “The Biggest Loser” is accepting applications for its upcoming season, giving Valley residents the chance to focus on their health and diet.

“Everyone has a different story to tell and everyone’s story and journey is so unique and powerful,” said Allison Kaz, “The Bigger Loser” casting director.

“We’re looking for people who are truly in a place in their life where they’re ready to transform and start a healthy journey.”

“The Biggest Loser” is taking applications for the next two months, and the network expects to begin filming in the fall. To enter, visit blcasting.tv.

Contestants who make the show will be filmed for two months, and will have access to experts and trainers equipped to give them the tools necessary to reach their goal.

“During the show, they come to ‘The Biggest Loser’ ranch and, over the course of a couple months, they will work out with trainers and have access to learning the tools of diet and exercise,” Kaz said.

On NBC for 17 seasons, “The Biggest Loser” will air on the USA Network in 2020. Both networks are owned by NBCUniversal. The show features obese or overweight contestants competing to win a cash prize by losing the highest percentage of weight

relative to their initial weight.

This time around, the show is taking a holistic approach to weight loss, according to Kaz. “The show is about getting healthy from the inside out. It’s not just about shedding weight. I’s really about how to stay healthy long term,” Kaz said.

As for the contestants, Kaz said the casting department is looking for people who need to lose roughly more than 100 pounds.

“We really are looking for all types of people, whether you’re in your 20s, you’re single and you’re looking to kick-start your life; or you’re married with kids and you’re looking to create a healthy lifestyle at home; or you’re an athlete who’s looking to get back

into shape,” Kaz said.

“The Biggest Loser” impacts the lives of contestants and viewers, said Kaz, who has been part of the show since the beginning.

“As a casting director, it’s the most rewarding show I’ve ever worked on,” she said. “I can’t tell the countless number of letters I’ve received from people who have watched the show and gotten healthy and lost weight or made some

dramatic change in their life because of watching the show.”

“The Biggest Loser” offers contestants the chance to really change “For the contestants, it’s really a time where they get to focus solely on themselves without distractions from all other things that are going on in their lives,” Kaz said. “They get to focus on what’s most important thing to them right now.”

Community members discover Phoenix rocks

24

BY KATIE SAWYER

West Valley View Staff Writer

Valley residents are doing a double take on usually mundane rocks while traversing parks, concert halls and trails.

Snuggled between their earth-toned brethren were colorfully designed and meticulously painted rocks. On the backs of all of them was a similar message.

“You found me! Post on F.B. Phx Hidden Rocks, keep or rehide,” read one rock.

“Phx Hidden Rocks” Facebook group was founded two and a half years ago

by Dawn Bricking and her husband Thomas. The rocky affair started when Thomas found a painted rock in his hometown of Cincinnati while on vacation, and had fun participating in the rock group there. When they returned to Peoria, they thought, why not start a group themselves?

“We really liked the idea and didn’t really see any solid groups out here that were doing anything of this nature so we decided to start one of our own, and it took off pretty quickly,” Dawn said.

The page works like this: Anybody can paint a rock with their preferred design or message, and then either post

clues of the rock’s location to the Phx Hidden Rocks group page, or let others find it on their own.

“Once the rock is found, they can either keep the rock for themselves or they can go and hide it again and post it with more clues,” Dawn said. “So, the more people who get involved, the more people who we have joining in a group and being able to stumble upon the rocks.”

When the group began, Dawn and Thomas painted and placed the rocks.

“It was mostly me and my husband putting out probably 200 or 300 rocks before anybody else started participating,” she said. “But we’ve gotten quite a few more members now that are putting out rocks almost on a daily basis.”

One of Dawn’s favorite rocks was one she painted to look like Stitch from the Disney movie “Lilo & Stitch.” Other members have gone all out, with one person painting through a series of Disney princesses and villains. The rocks contain messages like “You make the world a better place” and “don’t let anyone ever dull your sparkle.”

To help fuel the fun, Dawn has held rock-painting events in the past at a

Volkswagen Tiguan SUV WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 10, 2019

BY C. A. HAIRE West Valley View Columnist

Shopping for an SUV featuring three-row seating will present plenty of choices. Attempting to find one with a low price tag offers few choices. This brings us to the Volkswagen Tiguan.

With a starting fee of only $24,000, this small vehicle has three-row seating and is rated for seven passengers.

With options like bright orange paint, electronics and minor goodies, our total tab was still reasonable at $26,000.

This includes a new six-year/72,000mile factory warranty.

Under the hood is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine rated at 184 horsepower, and hooked to an eightspeed automatic transmission. The fuel economy is listed at 22/29 mpg.

All-wheel drive is available for maximum traction, but raises the price, and uses more fuel.

The interior of the Tiguan is nothing fancy, but the materials and workmanship are good enough. All of the controls are very simple and easy to operate. The climate control consists of three plain knobs and a few buttons. The gauge cluster provides lots

of useful information. The third- and second-row seats can be folded down, giving 66 cubic feet of storage space.

The glove box has plenty of storage room as well.

That brings us to the complaints.

There are two. First, the key-operated ignition system is clumsy to use, requiring two turns to start the car instead of one. Secondly, the driver’s sun visor can slide back to block out sun rays from the side window, but the passenger sun visor will not. There doesn’t seem to be any logic to this arrangement, but that’s the way it is.

We put 600 miles on this Tiguan in one week. The engine offers plenty of passing ability, and ride comfort and handling is very good. The worst fuel economy was 19 mpg in heavy city driving. On highway trips between Avondale and Tucson, the average was 31 mpg while cruising at 75 mph. That is better than the 29 mpg claimed by VW, so that’s impressive. In fact, for the money, the Tiguan is impressive overall. Those seeking an SUV that holds seven people without breaking the bank should give this vehicle a look.

Substitute teacher continues scholarship program

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO West Valley View Staff Writer

Manny Murillo has spent his life contributing to the Avondale community and now he is building a legacy for students to follow.

Murillo founded the Manny Murillo Scholarship Fund for Employed Students roughly two years ago. The scholarship program offers to match the earned savings of the Agua Fria High School students whom Murillo has approved.

“What it means is if they (students) apply for my program and they get accepted, at the end of the year I will give them $500 is they save $500,” Murillo said.

Murillo has since awarded 30 scholarships, all of which came from his own money and he is looking to double his scholarship program in the upcoming year.

Murillo was born and raised in Avondale where he attended Agua Fria High School. He went on to earn a master’s in public school administration from the Nova South Eastern University in Florida and eventually became the South Mountain High School principal in Phoenix for three years. Being part of the educational field was always Murillo’s passion.

“At an early age I said I wanted to help kids and I went that direction,” Murillo said. “I wanted to make a difference and I think I am making a difference on some of these kids.”

Murillo retired 12 years ago and although the 75-year-old is still a substitute teacher, he has been an advocate for students’ financial education.

Over the past year, Murillo has advocating for SB 1184, a recently passed bill that makes it mandatory for students to take financial literacy class before graduating.

“Gov. Ducey signed this bill about two and a half months ago and it’s official,” Murillo said. “Starting in Au-

gust, these kids are required to take financial literacy before they graduate, statewide.”

Murillo is still unclear if this will affect charter schools.

Murillo stresses the need for financial planning and education as he dislikes student loans.

“I strongly encourage for them to save and to stay away from student loans. Student loans are killers,” Murillo said.

Murillo said roughly 70% of students who attend Agua Fria High School are Latino and 75% of those students are “economically disadvantaged.” Murillo said there was a tremendous need for a financial literacy course in the community, as well as a scholarship program to support those students.

“A lot of these kids come from poor households and they really need this and what I’m trying to do is provide a direction for them with a little bit of money and a plan and steer them away from student loans,” Murillo said.

If students wish to apply, they must pick up an application form from Murillo. For more information, contact Murillo at 623-882-0625 or via email at mannymurillo@cox.net The scholarship requirements include a work schedule and a written essay on why students want to be a part of the program.

With SB 1184 taking effect in August, Murillo is excited to continue to teach Agua Fria High School students how to make the transition to college without student loans.

“That’s what motivates me, is to see these kids latch onto good grades and move on,” Murillo said.

Murillo said he knows how he wants to be remembered: “That I promoted the idea of financial responsibility started at a very young age. My passion was to help students become financial responsible and be able to identify a plan that work for them.”

New principal has 14 years leadership experience

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI West Valley View Executive Editor

Goodyear’s Desert Star School is introducing its new principal, Jessica Worthington, through a series of special events.

Worthington has dedicated 14 years to the Avondale Elementary School District.

As she enters her 15th year with the district, she brings expertise that helped her previous school receive an “A” rating from the state. She has previously served as teacher, master teacher and assistant principal.

“With 14 years of leadership experience, I have the depth and understanding of our district’s mission to grow student achievement, enhance culture and increase communication,” Worthington said.

“The school has a rich history of pro-

viding a culture of academic and cultural success, which is the result of a collaborative partnership between the staff, parents and community.”

Superintendent Dr. Betsy Hargrove says building community and connections while setting high academic and social expectations are areas of strength for Worthington.

“Ms. Worthington’s experience in the Avondale Elementary School District, including being assistant principal at the A-rated Desert Thunder School, has prepared her to lead Desert Star to great success,” Hargrove said.

Principal and staff meet and greets are as follows: 2 to 3 p.m. Wednesday, July 17; 5 to 6 p.m. Friday, July 19; and Meet the Teacher Night 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Thursday, August 1.

West-MEC student earns IT networking certification

The plan Technology and the demands of the IT industry are constantly changing.

“If you pool 100 industry professionals, they’re going to have varying amounts of certifications, and some will have zero,” Getz said.

Still, credentials are a way for professionals to validate the skills they’ve developed. Certification attainment is the goal of the IT security program at West-MEC so students can provide proof of their capabilities to employers. The first semester focuses on hardware and software in preparation for the CompTIA A+ certification.

“Within six weeks, Duane already passed both A+ tests first try. And I’m not talking just barely passed,” Getz said.

After setting up an independent plan with Getz, Balog identified his next challenge: the CompTIA Network+ certification. At that point, no other IT security student had passed the test.

“Duane asked me for some materials so he could study at home. Within three weeks he passed the Network+ exam. At this point, I knew he was serious about his plan,” Getz said.

Next on Balog’s list was the Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification, but he needed to practice with networking hardware first, something he couldn’t do at home.

The amount proposed above will cause Agua Fria Union High School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $12.3531. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $7.4838.

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.

The Back to School section will contain important information for students and parents, pre-school to college. They’ll learn about start dates, supplies, after-school activities, child care and more.

It’s a great vehicle for you to reach an audience that’s ready to spend money before the first bell rings.

In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Agua Fria Union High School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Agua Fria 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 Agua Fria Union High School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $ 650,000.

Certifications and technical knowhow are important to employers, but they aren’t the only factors that influence career development.

“We still struggle with soft skills and professional skills in our field. Certifications validate your aptitude, but can you articulate what you know in an interview? You’ve got to be able to work well with others and stay humble. It’s easy to come off as arrogant in this business really fast,” Getz said.

Students at Western Maricopa Education Center (West-MEC)—a public career technical education district— earn certifications that qualify them for well-paying careers upon graduation.

Every year at the Southwest Campus in Buckeye, IT security instructor Paul Getz stands up at orientation and challenges his students.

“I tell them I’m not going to limit them. I’ve got enough content to last five years, so students can push themselves beyond what’s listed in the curriculum. Duane really took me to task on that,” Getz said.

Duane Balog, a recent Estrella Foothills High School graduate, came to West-MEC with a plan to earn as many certifications as he could, as quickly as he could. His determination landed him a job in IT after high school at Canyon Business Solutions in Surprise.

two black towers of servers, routers, switches, and cables connect to a laptop used for running network simulations. This room was Balog’s playground for two months as he, along with another student Matthew Graves, worked through a 500-page document on how to configure the NetLab. “It typically costs $10,000 for a professional to come out and set up the NetLab and I just didn’t have enough hours in a day to do it myself. So, I saw an opportunity to give Duane and Matthew ownership over a project. Duane would come in early and lock himself in the server room with Matthew and they’d just go at it,” Getz said.

After spending time with the physical components used in creating a network, Balog was ready for the next certification exam.

“Cisco recommends you have three years of experience before taking the CCNA. But Duane had a plan. For a month, he was studying five hours a day in preparation. It paid off because he smashed the test,” said Getz. “I can’t tell you how absurd it sounds to do the CCNA so quickly.”
