Couple’s rural peace threatened by road

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Ralph and Debora Dumpert love their serene, rural property where they can safely ride their horses and take in the scenery.

But a new home community near their property is about to change all that. They see the related extension of Tuthill Road and a new bridge as jeopardizing their property values, their animals’ safety and the noise.

“We live in a quiet rural residential area, and Buckeye wants to make a four-lane arterial road out of Tuthill Road, a bridge over the RID canal, and connect Tuthill Road to Yuma Road,” Ralph Dumpert said.

Buckeye defines an arterial road as a “street in the city’s street system that serves as an avenue for the circulation of traffic onto, out or around the city and carries high volumes of traffic. Dumpert said the developers have three other

Litchfield Park man headed to Transplant Games

By Aliyah Chavez

Litchfield Park resident Robert Brink hopes to do his part in bringing awareness to the importance of organ donation by competing with Team Arizona in the biannual Donate Life Transplant Games of America.

The 35-member Team Arizona is traveling to Salt Lake City to compete in events like basketball, ballroom dancing, golf, swimming, Texas Hold ‘Em Poker, a trivia challenge and a virtual triathlon from August 2 to August 7.

The games were designed with the intent that everyone could participate, whether they received a transplant a month or a year ago. Highlights include an opening ceremony, quilt-pinning ceremony and various workshops/seminars. Brink, 67, previously participated in golf, racquetball and table tennis.

Brink underwent a liver transplant in 2012 and had a near-death experience while waiting for the organ. When the liver was placed inside of him, doctors

quickly realized it was infected. His body began deteriorating and doctors gave him 36 hours to live.

Miraculously, doctors found another liver and flew to California on a moment’s notice to intercept the organ. Brink’s new liver saved his life.

“It was a traumatic situation,” Brink said. “I was ready to go no matter what cards were dealt.”

This event inspired Brink to start his own nonprofit foundation, B for Life, whose mission is to educate people about the importance of organ donation. The company hopes to one day remove the stigma that organ donation is something to be afraid of.

“People are afraid to sign up,” Brink said. “We’re not taking your heart or your liver now just because you signed up to be a donor. But when that times comes, you can help save a life somewhere down the road.”

In the United States, there is a shortage of organs. In fact, a 2017 study by the U.S. Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network found that 20 people die each day waiting for a transplant. Additionally, there are more than 114,000 people on the national transplant waiting list as of April, 2014.

Nonprofit organizations like B for Life and the Transplant Games hope to combat the issues involving transplant by educating others. The Transplant Games also create community among the transplant patients and increase the number of donors.

“You come away just fired up and

Steve T. Strickbine

Toastmasters has redesigned its educational program for its clubs, including the Estrella and Agua Fria chapters.

Estrella Toastmasters president Sydney Gray said “Pathways” brings the organization “into the new century.”

“It’s almost completely digital and it gives people the ability and power to choose what it is they are passionate about and what area they want to work on,” Gray said.

The program offers different “paths” for Toastmasters members, including mastering presentations, developing better leadership skills or improving public speaking. The digital platform allows members to work via smartphone or tablet, and at work or home.

“It also cuts down on Toastmasters’ carbon footprint and it’s a more ecofriendly way to do business,” added Gray, a cosmetology student.

Founded in 1905, Toastmasters has more than 352,000 members who improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 16,400 clubs in 141 countries.

When members join, they give an “icebreaker” speech and quickly learn the proper way to give and receive speech feedback, and eventually incorporate leadership and mentoring into their role within the club.

Jeff Isenman has been in Toastmasters almost 11 years, and is the former president of the Estrella and Agua Fria clubs.

“Once you’ve completed an introductory mentoring project, you can choose to execute the Pathways Mentor Program, a more intensive mentoring learning experience,” Isenman added.

There are different “paths” that members can choose to follow in Pathways. Those include: dynamic management, visionary leadership, presentation skills and more.

This is particularly attractive because anyone can customize their Toastmasters experience to align with their career or personal goals.

“Toastmasters can help absolutely anybody who talks to other people and we all talk to people every day,” Gray said. “It makes speaking in any way, shape or form so much easier.” Anyone is welcome to attend a Toastmasters meeting with no obligation to join.

Gray has been president less than a month, and is a member of the Agua Fria Toastmasters club, which just celebrated its 10th anniversary.

“I was working on eliminating filler words from my vocabulary,” she explained. “When I found out there was a group of people who were learning about that exact same thing, I was completely on board.”

She was the vice president of public relations in the Estrella club before ascending to president.

Congressional candidates lead health care town hall

By Aliyah Chavez

Congressional candidates Dr. David Brill (CD4) and Dr. Hiral Tipirneni (CD8) hosted a town hall meeting to discuss health care on July 17 at Verrado Middle School in Buckeye.

About 30 community members discussed their experiences and voiced their frustrations with Arizona’s health care system.

“People can’t just go out and access insurance because they can’t afford it.” said Pam Haacke, an attendee. “They can’t get the care they need, and they end up in emergency rooms when it’s a crisis. All of us pay for that. So, we need to find a solution.”

The evening’s programming included speeches from the candidates and facilitated discussion among small groups. The small discussion groups were asked to share their experiences about health care with one another and then create questions for candidates to answer.

Buckeye spokeswoman Annie DeChance said city officials have done as much mitigation as they can, based on residents’ input.

“We’ve been working with them from the start,” she said. “A lot of the things they asked the city to do and the developers to do have been incorporated into the latest plan. This development goes above those city standards.

“Your home is your biggest investment in your life and we understand that. The challenge is that plot of land has been zoned as residential or as a neighborhood since 2005.”

When the landowner sold his 160 acres in late 2005, there was a public notice that, Dumpert admitted, “nobody paid any attention to.” Only the closest neighbors received notifications.

“The economy tanked, so the land continued to be farmed, and still is,” he said. “So, it took 10 years, 12 years for this economy to recover and for them to pursue this development again.”

On February 28, 2017, Buckeye Planning and Zoning held a public hearing with the developers for residents to voice their concerns. The voting was tabled until March 14, 2017.

After that meeting, the Dumperts hired Chelsea Hesla with Combs Law Group to file an appeal on April 7, 2017.

“It took the principal planner of Buckeye until August 7, 2017, to

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 25, 2018

notify the developers that an appeal had been filed. It took the developers until February 15, 2018, to get back with the city of Buckeye,” he said.

On March 28 of this year, the Dumperts met with developers, the developers’ engineer and city of Buckeye officials to try to resolve some of the issues. In the end, Hesla asked if there was anything they could do.

The couple said Buckeye Director of Planning George Flores told them the developers had given enough.

“We presented many options at the meeting to keep the bridge and road from being built,” Dumpert said. “Mr. Flores made some excuse for each one of them.

“Buckeye isn’t paying for the bridge and road. The developer is having to pay for it and put it in. They are only having to pay for and build two and a half lanes and a two-lane bridge. They said someone else would have to pay for the other two lanes and the other side of the bridge later.”

Dumpert added from Dean Road to Jackrabbit Trail, and from Yuma Road to Broadway Road, there are only rural properties and farmland. This area is 2 miles by 2.3 miles.

“Many of us residents have lived in this rural area of Buckeye for 30-plus years,” Dumpert said. “We have lived on Hilton and on Durango for 35 years.

This proposed development is not compatible with our rural residential properties, but Buckeye says because they were zoned before the 2007 General Plan, they don’t have to be compatible.”

POLICE BRIEFS Compiled by Christina Fuoco-Karasinski and Aliyah Chavez Attempted robbery in Buckeye

Congressional candidate Dr. Hiral Tipirneni speaks with community members about their health care experiences. (West Valley View photo by Jordan Christopher)

Health...continued from page 4 However, the public asked the candidates what to do about insurance, which comes in light of a 2016 Kaiser Family Foundation study that found that 12 percent of Arizona’s residents are uninsured.

“We have millions of people out there who have this struggle every day and we can make it better but right now,” Tipirneni said. “Unfortunately, our Congress and Senate are going backward. They’re eroding the progress we’ve made.”

The town hall was particularly stimulating for many, considering both

candidates have backgrounds in health.

Brill served as head of primary care at the Veterans Administration for 10 years and Tipirneni was an emergency room doctor for 10 years.

Now transitioned to politics, the candidates shared their gratitude for having the opportunity to host town hall meetings and meet with constituents.

“I have found that the greatest joy of being on a campaign is the people you meet. You meet spectacular people, they’re all so different, they’re all so complex,” Brill said.

Arizona’s primary election day is August 28. The general election is November 6.

Joshua Hollifield of Buckeye was arrested at 7:05 a.m. July 15 in connection with incidents at Chevron gas stations on Miller Road and Monroe Avenue, and a Sonic on Highway 85.

According to police, a man who matches Hollifield’s description attempted to rob the Miller Road Chevron by pretending he had a weapon at 3:49 a.m. July 15. The man, whose face was covered, demanded cash, but money was not given to him.

Buckeye police were dispatched to the Monroe Avenue Chevron at 4:44 a.m. July 15 for another robbery, during which the man made off with money.

Police report 45-year-old Gilbert Arnaldo Euraquin was armed with a 2-foot-long, three-pronged metal candlestick. The victim was defending himself with a baseball bat.

Police reports show Eurasquin later went to the victim’s house, broke his window and began swinging a candlestick at the victim. The victim suffered a large bruise on his arm.

Eurasquin reportedly told police he broke the window to get attention because he felt badly about the incident.

He was charged with aggravated assault and criminal damage.

Tax refunds available to some veterans

40-50 Gallon Gas or Electric Water Heater & 1 Year Sunland Favorite Maintenance Plan

By West Valley View staff

The Internal Revenue Service is advising certain veterans who received disability severance payments after January 17, 1991, and included that payment as income that they should file Form 1040X, Amended U.S. Individual Income Tax Return, to claim a credit or refund of the overpayment attributable to the disability severance payment.

This is a result of the Combat-Injured Veterans Tax Fairness Act passed in 2016.

Most veterans who received a onetime lump-sum disability severance payment when they separated from their military service will receive a letter from the Department of Defense (DoD) with information explaining how to claim tax refunds they are entitled to; the letters include an explanation of a simplified method for making the claim. The IRS has worked closely with the DoD to produce these letters, explaining how veterans should claim the related tax refunds.

The amount of time for claiming these tax refunds is limited. However, the law grants veterans an alternative timeframe – one year from the date of the letter from DoD. Veterans making these claims have the normal limitations period for claiming a refund or one year from the date of their letter from the DoD, whichever expires later. As taxpayers can usually only claim tax refunds within three years from the due date of the return, this alternative time frame is especially important since some of the claims may be for refunds of taxes paid as far back as 1991.

Veterans can submit a claim based on the actual amount of their disability severance payment by completing Form 1040X, carefully following the instructions. However, there is a simplified method. Veterans can choose instead to claim a standard refund amount based on the calendar year (an individual’s tax year) in which they received the severance payment.

Write “Disability Severance Payment” on line 15 of Form 1040X and enter

on lines 15 and 22 the standard refund amount listed below that applies: • $1,750 for tax years 1991 – 2005 • $2,400 for tax years 2006 – 2010 • $3,200 for tax years 2011 – 2016 Claiming the standard refund amount is the easiest way for veterans to claim a refund, because they do not need to access the original tax return from the year of their lump-sum disability severance payment.

All veterans claiming refunds for overpayments attributable to their lump-sum disability severance payments should write either “Veteran Disability Severance” or “St. Clair Claim” across the top of the front page of the Form 1040X that they file. Because all amended returns are filed on paper, veterans should mail their completed Form 1040X, with a copy of the DoD letter, to Internal Revenue Service, 333 W. Pershing Street, Stop 6503, P5, Kansas City, MO, 64108.

Veterans eligible for a refund who did not receive a letter from DoD may still file Form 1040X to claim a refund but must include both of the following to verify the disability severance payment: •A copy of documentation showing the exact amount of and reason for the disability severance payment, such as a letter from the Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) explaining the severance payment at the time of the payment or a Form DD214, and • A copy of either the VA determination letter confirming the veteran’s disability or a determination that the veteran’s injury or sickness was either incurred as a direct result of armed conflict, while in extra-hazardous service, or in simulated war exercises, or was caused by an instrumentality of war.

Veterans who did not receive the DoD letter and who do not have the required documentation showing the exact amount of and reason for their disability severance payment will need to obtain the necessary proof by contacting the DFAS.

MIKE SMITH'S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Leibowitz and AARP

My viewpoint on Tony Zizza’s letter

Editor: To David Leibowitz: Aging is not a choice. It is inevitable. Getting a letter from AARP at 50 is not a choice. It is inevitable. So, suck it up and accept the fact that you are a senior citizen. You haven’t been carded in decades. Enjoy the discounts and become a member of your organization, AARP. Cheers from your friends in AARP, Dr. Leonard Kirschner, MPH Past President AARP Arizona Litchfield Park

Editor: Tony Zizza’s “Wacky liberals” letter made me laugh – for a moment. It’s so misguided. I’m not sure where he obtains his information, but I would suggest that he turn off “mainstream media” and explore different resources.

As a moderate with liberal beliefs, I don’t hate Trump. I’m embarrassed by him. A president who has done everything in his power to avoid paying taxes? A president who engages in name-calling and bullying practices? A president who has chosen for himself a lifestyle of opulence and excess? A president who chooses money making over the environment? A president with a record of treating women as objects? A president with a top priority of building a wall? Honestly, I can’t understand why anyone would vote for such a person. I am completely miffed.

What is so appealing about him?

I find him completely out of touch with reality. I see senior citizens and disabled people on Social Security trying to get through the month on what Trump spends on a quarter of one of his Brioni suits. Well, at least his clothing is presidential.

I see senior citizens on food stamps (SNAP) who (for a whole month) get half of what Trump spends on a $36 burger for one meal at one of the clubs he goes to. He probably has no idea.

I find the guy entertaining as a TV character and a great example for Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous but he’s not someone I admire or choose as a role model. I don’t see him making America great, except for himself.

Rents are increasing to the point where Social Security recipients are being priced out of the market. ($1,500 in Social Security won’t get you into a $1,000/month apartment. You would need twice that to even qualify and Social Security is all that many people have.)

College students are graduating under a mountain of debt. So what?

Billionaires don’t have to concern themselves with these things.

My values and priorities are not represented by Trump and I don’t find his behavior presidential. Hence, no vote. I also find it ironic that he constantly tries to draw parallels between himself and

Online school helped me prepare for college Editor: As I prepare to start college this fall, I would like to recognize Insight Academy of Arizona (ISAZ) for giving me the tools to achieve what I thought was unimaginable.

I enrolled into ISAZ my senior year to be challenged academically outside of the traditional school setting. However, the constant teacher encouragement was the key to my success. My teachers at ISAZ saw potential in me, and in return I became more confident in and out of the classroom.

In particular, my adviser, Mrs. Bragg, was one of my biggest cheerleaders.

She gave me advice to further my academic goals and offered resources to help achieve them. Thanks to the support from Mrs. Bragg and my teachers, I will be attending Arizona State University tuition-free this fall on the prestigious Obama Scholarship.

My accomplishments at ISAZ mean the world to me, not only as a student, but also as a daughter and sister. I am the first in my family to attend college, and I am now an example to my parents and siblings. ISAZ helped me realize that with hard work and support, anything is achievable. I encourage anyone who is thinking about online school to take the chance – you never know what you can accomplish until you try.

Beyonce Tineo Buckeye

President Reagan. Yes, they are both actors! One of President Reagan’s most memorable quotes contained the phrase “Tear down this wall!” And building a wall is a Trump priority? It would be laughable if it weren’t such a tragic waste of energy and money. I can agree to disagree with Mr. Zizza for whatever reason it is he supports Trump. If he needs to paint me, or those who share my beliefs, as having a mental disorder because of this disagreement, he can go right ahead. It changes nothing.

Laura Gaekel Litchfield Park

From an AARP official Editor: I wanted to respond to David Leibowitz’s article about, “AARP is a reminder of getting old.” At AARP we believe being old is more of a state of mind or attitude, not so much about being old.

If David did become a member and read our magazine, he would realize all the opportunities he and his wife could enjoy. You don’t even need to be a member to enjoy or participate in all that we are doing all around the Valley.

We do healthy rhythm drum circles.

We have partnered with the city of Phoenix for Meet Me Downtown, a weekly 5K walk/run. Now we are doing the summer concert fitness series in the evening once a week.

We have done painting classes, wine tasting classes and bike safety clinics.

We do all types of educational classes

and presentations, and all of these are free. We also do advocacy to protect Social Security and Medicare, so it will be there for them when they if they do retire. We are also doing a lot of work with cities and towns so communities are age-friendly so you can raise a family and retire and there will still be plenty of activities right in your community. AARP’s mission is simple, we improve the lives of the 50-plus and their families so they can reach their full potential and enjoy all of life’s real possibility.

Dana Marie Kennedy State Director, AARP Arizona Peoria

Column warrants a response Editor: I enjoy getting and reading the West Valley View. Sometime there appears to be an article that needs a response. It was David Leibowitz’s article on Page 12, June 20.

In it, Mr. Leibowitz wrote “R-Confederacy.” Of course, the Confederacy was an awful part of American history, but for him to put the idea that being a Republican somehow makes you a bigot is wrong.

Well, David, I don’t know when your relatives came to America, but I know when mine did. In 1630, the first Oviatts came to this land, America.

During the Revolution, the Oviatts fought the British. Oviatts were in the

North, so during the Civil War, the Oviatts fought the South.

I don’t know all the history about the first World War, but for World War II, my father fought the Japanese. I was in a car wreck during Vietnam, so the Army didn’t want me. Though ASU was very happy to take my money.

No, I’m not online. The Bernard Oviatts you see in the Phoenix area are mostly my brothers.

Campaign helps keep Lake Pleasant clean

By Clint Hickman If escape is on your mind as the dog days of summer bear down, it’d be hard to beat Lake Pleasant for natural beauty and ease of access. This District 4 oasis is an hour’s drive or less depending on where you live in the West Valley.

Holidays are especially fun at the lake. Whether you want to be on a boat, under a tent, or at the marina, everybody seems to relish the opportunity to head north on Memorial Day weekend. And, of course, there’s the fireworks show on the Fourth of July.

This summer, three county departments — parks, transportation (MCDOT) and waste resources and recycling (WRR) — teamed up to make your experience even better.

They started an anti-litter campaign and park-goers have the starring role.

Every vehicle that comes into the park during the three “summer” holiday periods (Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day) gets an orange trash bag from MCDOT’s Adopt a Highway program. The

Balance desperately needed in approach to immigration

By David Leibowitz When the talk turns to immigration, my mind drifts to the days before the First World War, to my ancestors making the long journey by ship from Europe.

These were my great grandparents, immigrants who came from Russia and Poland through Ellis Island at the turn of the 20th century.

What few afternoons I shared with them as a boy have long been lost to time. It’s unfortunate, because I have so many questions.

Like: What drew them across the Atlantic Ocean? What about this America sparked a dream in them?

What were they fleeing? What did they hope to find?

Such questions feel vital to me today, because a dozen decades later the news teems with tales of immigrants risking everything to come to this nation – only to be met with vitriol and handcuffs, a confused asylum process that is no process at all and who knows how many months separated from their children.

To talk about immigration circa 2018 is to hear some of your neighbors

Today’s America schools and research facilities and those faces a different set of threats than who trudge across the desert to join we did 120 years ago.

single soul who desires to call the United States home. We should not do that. We cannot do that. But for those we cannot admit, we must find a way to make their lives better – and we especially must not continue to make their lives worse.

The answer, it would seem, lies in finding the right balance between immigration without limit and our president’s hulking, penal wall and increasingly ugly verbiage. There should be room in a nation our size for more dreamers like the dreamers who started this country 400 years ago. The question is how many more? And who?

Whatever our answers, our treatment of immigrants should be accompanied by the grace so much of today’s caging and screeching lacks.

Just because some of our immigrant ancestors got here first – and legally – should not excuse subsequent generations’ willingness to treat human beings like so much human trash.

The Tree of Oil duo shares love of healthy eating

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

When Richard Morgan retired from his electrical engineering job, he was looking for his second calling. The former San Francisco resident and his partner, Colombia-born chef Fredy Sanger, decided on food.

Five years ago, they designed and created The Tree of Oil, inspired by their passion for great food and ingredients, at North Litchfield and West McDowell roads in Goodyear.

The duo specializes in ultrapremium extra virgin olive oils, fused and infused, from around the world, as well as sea salts, balsamic vinegars, Stonewall Kitchen products, local raw honey and The Republic of Tea goods.

EVOO flavors range from mandarin, the strongest-tasting citrus olive oil in the store, to Tuscan herb, a combination of herbal flavors including oregano, rosemary, marjoram and garlic. The Tree of Oil is one of a handful of Valley stores that sells ultra-premium certified EVOO. The lemon olive oil pairs well with any balsamic to bring salads to life, he said.

cravings that can be used to replace the butter in brownies. Persian lime is a handy ingredient that can be used with seafood, chicken, pasta and cakes.

“We change our oils twice a year between the northern and southern hemisphere harvests,” Morgan said.

“We’re getting ready to change to the southern hemisphere. That would be Chile, Australia and South Africa, for example. They’re all tested in labs in Australia to make sure they’re certified as pure product.”

Dark balsamic vinegars line another wall. Vanilla is perfect for desserts, ice cream, cheese and cold meats. Black current complements a caprese salad, while cinnamon pear pairs well with barbecue, game meat, fruits and salads.

The apricot white balsamic vinegar is great for salads, poultry, fresh fruit and beverages. Morgan described the key lime as “extremely versatile” that can be used for anything.

Stonewall Kitchen products are available as well. Holiday jam, bacon jam and its ketchups are among the

On the other side of the store are flavored sea salts from San Francisco Sea Salts and local honey. Try the cherry smoked sea salts.

Tolleson, Goodyear represented in MLB draft

By Evan Desai Arizona is a baseball state, producing some of the best players in the country.

Among those are Cody Bellinger of the Dodgers; Paul Konerko, who hails from Chaparral High School; and former L.A. great Andre Ethier.

In the 2018 MLB draft, more than 30 players who went to high school or college in Arizona were drafted. The West Valley wasn’t left out.

Former Millennium High School player Giovanni Lopez left University of Missouri early after he was drafted in the 23rd round by the Miami Marlins.

Two rounds later, ex-Tolleson Union High School ballplayer Billy Wilson was taken by the Cleveland Indians.

Wilson was not expecting a call from the Indians.

“It was a team I had never talked to the entire time during this process,” Wilson said.

Longtime Tolleson Union coach Scott Richardson said Wilson was destined to be drafted because of his athleticism. Wilson was Tolleson Union’s quarterback as well. As for baseball, he posted a .352 batting average, and only made nine errors in his four years.

“Coming into high school, if he played basketball he’d be the best basketball player at our school,” Richardson said. “He played football, and he was the best football player at our school. He could’ve gone out for soccer, he could’ve gone out for volleyball, he was that type of athlete.”

Richardson said he knew Wilson would go far.

“We knew all along, from the time he was a junior, that he’d have the opportunity, barring any injuries, ★ to play

pro ball,” Richardson said. “I knew that once he played baseball 12 months a year, he’s really going to blow up.”

For the past three years, Wilson played outfield for Loyola Marymount.

The school’s assistant coach, Bobby Andrews, marveled at Wilson’s perfect baseball build.

“He looks like he’s a real player,” Andrews said. “If I didn’t know Billy and I just saw him, I wouldn’t be surprised Left, Billy Wilson greets his Loyola Marymount University teammates during introductions at the West Coast if he was a first-rounder.” Conference playoffs.

Winning and playoff success are the standard for the Westview Knights football team. The players and staff on the 2018 roster are looking at the upcoming season the same way.

Though the Knights lost five straight games to begin 2017 – three of which were decided by one touchdown or less against some of the state’s top schools – Westview rattled off five consecutive wins to capture the 6A Southwest Section crown and receive an automatic bid into the AIA playoffs.

While the 6-6 final record was admittedly underwhelming for the group, and is the most losses Westview has suffered since 2005, 2017’s leading rusher and rising senior Jacob Olivas said there were many lessons to be taken from the way his team ended the season, especially with a first-round playoff victory over Desert Ridge.

“There’s definitely a Westview legacy, and we thought we were letting the past teams down,” he said. “And honestly, we just came together and figured out how we needed to play together.

“And with a lot of us coming back as seniors now, I think we’ll hopefully be a really good team.”

Last year’s starting units on both sides of the ball were dominated by juniors.

They have another offseason to prepare and bond together, understanding each other’s tendencies and the playbook that much more. The long winning streak was a confidence booster, but it

was not always easy to get along.

“Sometimes guys get in fights with each other, not actually punching or hurting each other, but we’re so competitive that we’ll get in each others’ face and push and shove and stuff,” senior defensive back and wide receiver Kayden Staples said.

“But that just actually brings us together and closer as friends and a family. It’s really our way of pushing each other and holding ourselves accountable. I think that the players who were there realized how good we can be, and we’re ready to go right away.”

One of the teams Westview took down in 2017 was Copper Canyon, whose then-junior quarterback Chase Pope had a solid game offensively – nearly 200 yards passing and two touchdowns – despite the 28-point Westview win.

Having lost former starter Scott Fallers to graduation, the Knights seemingly have an instant, quality replacement, who previously marveled at the toughness and positive nature of Westview from the other side of the line of scrimmage.

“When I played Westview, they never gave up, and no matter what teams came at them with they always came back fighting. So, I am excited to play with these guys,” Pope said. “It’s probably the best team of my life to be honest.”

With quality players at each of the offensive skill positions, the unit that saw the most turnover for Westview is the offensive line, which coach Nick Gehrts said is a concern the staff is taking very seriously. Too many holes in blocking could mitigate even the best

efforts from their top runners.

“We want to run the ball first, and our skill players will help us with stuff on the edges and some other kind of nontraditional plays, and we’ll see who steps up from the offensive linemen and makes it so we can get good holes for our good skill guys to Senior Kayden Staples lifts weights in Westview get through.

“We’re really going to lean on our playoffs last year.

With the changed playoff format, defense because we have so many starters coming back, I think we only the Knights cannot emulate last year’s lost two or three from graduation last results in the regular season, and still year, and then hopefully that give our hope to make the playoffs.

‘Mommy Juanita’ celebrates 100th birthday

By Aliyah Chavez Juanita Zeitler didn’t suspect a thing.

Zeitler, a beloved visitor to the Avondale Senior Center, celebrated her 100th birthday with a July 18 surprise party attended by friends and family.

Complete with inflatable balloons in the shape of 100, Zeitler’s birthday party included her fellow senior center participants and her family who traveled to Avondale from Sacramento.

Zeitler was presented with a selfportrait painted by a co-participant, Zack Souza, as well as small gifts and cake.

Many were excited to share their well wishes for “Mommy Juanita.”

“It’s a wonderful thing. Not everybody reaches this age,” said Lilian Zeitler, Juanita’s daughter. “And that’s why I am so grateful to everybody who is celebrating with her.”

Zeitler has been visiting the Avondale Senior Center for 19 years and regularly enjoys participating in programming like Zumba dance classes and solving crossword puzzles.

“She’s great, she’s really nice.

We love to play bingo,” shared coparticipant Fabina Coffey.

Zeitler was born and raised in the Philippines in 1918, one of her parents’ 18 children. While living there, she worked in rice fields and sold movie theater tickets, which gave her access to many American films. Her favorite is Gone with the Wind. Her favorite food, she shared, is adobo.

Zeitler has two children with her first husband, an American man who worked on the island, six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. She met her second husband by mail. They moved to California and when he died, she relocated to Arizona.

“I want to be like her when I get to that age, if I live that long,” shared her grandson, Romeo Panisa.

Zeitler shared her key to living long: “No drinking, no smoking, exercise every day and eat less.”

Having regularly attended the Avondale Senior Center, employees there, including Erin Lutz, senior services coordinator, described Zeitler as a “really, really tender and sweet person. You could just tell that she has that spark still. She just has this life about her.”

Zeitler hopes to continue dancing and knitting in the coming years.

“I don’t know if I have another year like this,” she said laughing. “I’m getting old.”

ISM Raceway’s ‘masterpiece’ coming to fruition

By Joe Gilmore Four hundred Okland Construction workers celebrated the installation of the final piece of steel in the infield as part of the ISM Raceway Project powered by DC Solar July 20.

Dressed in their customary highlighter yellow-and-orange mesh jackets, the workers made their way to a shaded area to watch along with ISM Raceway executives and fans.

They were given the chance to sign the yellow metal beam.

The sound of Coke cans cracking open and the crunching of plastic water bottles could be heard over the workers’ indistinct chatter before the presentation started.

“I wanted to say a special thanks to the whole team who’s working on this project,” said Bryan Sperber, president

of ISM Raceway.

“You guys are creating a masterpiece right in front of our eyes.”

Officials counted down from three and blared an airhorn before the yellow beam, which contrasted with the usual gray of the others, was raised into position.

The new scoreboard will have two 26-foot, 6-ton LED video boards that will contain a combined 1.6 million LED bulbs. It will feature two scrolling position markers and a lap counter. It is part of a larger $178 million renovation project that the raceway began in January 2017.

The project also includes an improved fan zone and PA system, a bar and grill and Wi-Fi throughout most of the venue. New grandstand

Sea Lion Pup born at Wildlife World Zoo

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park welcomed a second baby sea lion, the first to his mother, Andi.

Prior to birth, the pup was monitored by two veterinarians, a veterinary technician and three specialists.

Wildlife World’s 150,000-gallon saltwater exhibit was carefully designed with the hope of one day starting a successful sea lion breeding program. The roomy outdoor space allows visitors to attend a public educational demonstration featuring these acrobatic animals. In addition, Wildlife World offers guests the opportunity to feed the sea lions during their scheduled times.

Like all marine mammals, sea lions are protected by the landmark legislation known as the Marine Mammal Protection Act, first passed in 1972. The MMPA makes it illegal to hunt or harass any marine mammal species found in U.S. waters. Sea lions, like many marine animals, face an uncertain future due to ocean pollution, dwindling fish stock, and competition with human activities.

The energetic sea lions are seen daily at Shipwreck Cove, a pirate ship display with upper deck and underwater viewing. With an outdoor exhibit pool, public seating and a viewing area for the sea lions, there are plenty of opportunities for guests to soon see Arizona’s newest sea

lion pup explore its new surroundings.

With more than 600 species and 6,000 animals on display, there are always new arrivals at Wildlife World. Other babies on display include a baboon, spider monkey, flamingos, penguins and several hoofed animal species, including wildebeests and other youngsters throughout the 100-acre park.

As a USDA-licensed, private institution, accredited by the Zoological Association of America and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums, Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park doesn’t receive taxpayer funding.

Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park is Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park’s 150,000-gallon saltwater exhibit was constructed in located at 16501 W. Northern the hopes of breeding sea lions. Recently, Andi gave birth to a sea lion pup. (Photo courtesy Wildlife World Avenue, Litchfield Park. Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park) Wildlife World is open seven days a week, 365 days a year, including all holidays. Zoo exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last zoo admission is at 5 p.m.).

Goodyear ballplayer an all-star in his own right

By Evan Desai Major League Baseball’s top players gave the world a home runfilled 10-inning All-Star Game in Washington, D.C. Prior to that, the most electrifying power hitters showed their stuff during the Home Run Derby, and the Futures Game saw high potential and talent from around the world.

But there was more. While the bigs were still playing first-half games, the MLB Jr. Home Run Derby let kids in 12-and-under and 14-and-under divisions prove they have the meddle on Saturday, July 14.

Goodyear’s Isaiah Santoyo participated in the contest and finished fourth out of the eight participants in the 12-and-under division.

His journey started out at the local derby in Goodyear, where he won and advanced to regionals in Scottsdale.

His father, Oscar Santoyo, admitted he was nervous when he pitched to his son in Goodyear.

“I was nervous,” he said. “I was just trying to give him good pitches to hit.”

He did his job, and the homers sent his son to regionals and then to nationals.

“I didn’t think I was going to make it to D.C.,” said Isaiah, who added it’s the closest he’s felt to playing at that next level.

MLB Jr. Home Run Derby was streamed on MLB.com, and the father-son duo was on edge during that, too.

“It was nerve-wracking knowing that he had a chance to win, and knowing that scouts could be streaming it, and other people too,” Isaiah added. “I wanted to put on a show for them.”

The memories go beyond hitting home runs for Isaiah. He met former MLB utility player Jerry Hairston Jr., and All-Star Angels center fielder Mike Trout, as well as his peers.

“I got to know most of everyone over there,” said Isaiah, a 12-year-old who attends Centerra Mirage STEM Academy in Goodyear. “We got to hang out sometimes and talk. We even talked about stuff other than baseball.”

William Henry White, Jr.

William H. White (Bill) passed away peacefully during the night of July 2, 2018, in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, in the home of his son Christopher. Bill was born in Rutland, Vermont, to William H. White and Isabel Noble White on May 2, 1934. His parents preceded him in death many years ago. Bill spent his youth in Vermont, including graduating from the University of Vermont. He was captain of his ski team during all his years at UVM. He was in service to his country with the U.S. Army and was deployed to Okinawa in the 1950's.

Bill is survived by his son, Christopher Allen White, of Wheat Ridge, CO, and his daughter, Amy Elizabeth White Fishbaugh, of Colorado Springs, his granddaughter, Nicole Henderson, of Wheat Ridge and grandson, Kyle White, of Denver. Bill is also survived by his sisters Lois Ann Skillings and Geraldine Myrick, both of Middlebury, VT. He had many nieces and nephews whom he treasured and was able to visit through the years back East.

Bill began his work career at the Wigwam Resort in Litchfield Park, AZ, and met many who became life-long friends. Bill has chosen to have his ashes interred with several friends in Litchfield Park, who have passed before him. He was known as "Wizzer" to those friends.

We can just picture the reunion of the old friends and the parties that will ensue in heaven. Watch out God, this will be loud, noisy and lots of fun!

Bill had a successful career in the food and beverage industry in both Arizona and New Mexico. After his "retirement", for the past 20 years, he worked at the Kudar Motel in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, during the summers and made life-long friends in Wyoming as well. We will all miss his wonderful sense of humor and love of friends and family.

Bill lived in West Phoenix during the winters for decades in a retirement community. His patio was the center of nightly gatherings. His humor and hospitality will be missed greatly.

Bill had struggled with health issues for several years with heart, lung, kidney and liver issues. He spent the last three summers in the home of his son, Christopher, and was helped greatly by the VA Hospital in Golden, CO. We will miss him, but he is free of pain and we will celebrate a life well lived.

He is survived by his wife, Sharla; his son, Nick Fox and wife Kathy of KS; daughter, Jody Studer and husband Robert of TX; his wife's children, who he loved as his own; daughter, Dawn Johnson; and son, Joe Lee. He is also survived by his brother, Dick Fox and wife Carolyn; his grandchildren, Kelly, Kevin (Fachon) and Kodey Pohlman, Brittney (Alex) Moreno, Jarred and Clayton (Kaitlyn) Studer, Trinity Johnson, Sean Lee; one great-grandson, Grayson Moreno; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Shaylynn Leeanne Elizabeth Kennedy Shaylynn Leeanne Elizabeth Kennedy passed away in a tragic pool accident on July 12, 2018 around 6:00 PM. She was a little over one years old.

She was survived by her parents Kristal Kennedy, Ashley Leon and Sean Capps, along with 3 siblings Nevaeh Kennedy and Giovanni and Donté Falzone. Additionally, she left behind 14 grandparents, 7 cousins, and 15 aunts and uncles.

Shaylynn was a precious baby girl that was a ray of sunshine in many people’s lives. She was always happy and the center of attention wherever she went. Her smile was tender and infectious and could melt any heart.

Though a baby, Shaylynn was outgoing and well traveled. She could sing her ABC’s and loved to shake her tail feather when her favorite song “Get Down Low” would come on the radio. She has probably done more in her 1 year than many people have in a life time. She has visited rich and majestic sites such as the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, Six Flags and Knotts Berry Farm.

She had a chance to sin a little in Las Vegas and Laughlin and even showed her wild side by riding on a SeaDoo and went tubing with her mama. Like many women, Shaylynn loved to go to the beach just to stick her feet in the sand and let her hair down.

She was an All-American Gal who loved to take selfies, always sticking out her tongue and showing off one of her 233 pairs of bows. When it was time to settle down, you can find her relaxing on the couch watching her favorite movies “Moana” and “Beauty and the Beast”.

Shaylynn will be greatly missed and could never be replaced. She will always be remembered by her loved ones and reside in all our hearts. We love you Shaylynn.

Our goodbye is not forever, just for now.

A funeral service was held Saturday, July 21, 2018 at Thompson Funeral Chapel, Goodyear, AZ 85338. Condolences for the family may be left at www.ThompsonFuneral Chapel.com.

OBITUARIES

Angelia Castillo-Gumm Angelita Castillo-Gumm was born in San Antonio, Texas on August 13, 1950 and moved to Phoenix as a child. After battling brain cancer for 19 months she went home to be with the Lord on July 15, 2018. Her pre-deceased parents are Valentin Castillo and Petra Reza.

Angelita is survived by her husband Tommy Gumm; siblings, Rachel Moran, Joe Castillo (Rose), Beatrice “Bea” Moreno, Valentin Castillo Jr. (Sylvia), and Minerva Hambicki (Greg). Her children James Frausto, Leticia Ritter, and Percillia Villanida (Charles) together have eight grandchildren: Anthony Frausto, David Frausto, Angel-Leah Villanida Spicer (Stephen), Hi’ilani Villanida, Julianne Villanida, Brianna Ritter, Brian Ritter Jr., and Maylynn Villanida.

Early in her life Angelita worked as a nursing assistant for a quadriplegic nursing unit in Phoenix. Later, she was a homemaker for her children and four step-children: Joe Michael Contreras, Monique Contreras, JoAnn Contreras, and Connie Contreras. She was a devoted mom and active volunteer in the Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts, supporter of Trevor G. Browne H.S. JROTC, and Office Manager for Contreras Bros. Refrigeration. She enjoyed sewing and baking for special occasions, reading fiction crime drama, and building her family genealogy. Each Christmas and Easter her family and friends looked forward to a deep dish 12-inch pecan pie.

One of her biggest accomplishments was owning Old Time Photos, 1998-2013. First at Desert Sky Mall then relocating to 7025 N. 57th Ave, Glendale AZ. She had a very special relationship with her clients as she took care of their family photos and personal concerns. She hand-painted and restored damaged photos, as well as personalized funeral t-shirts for families in need. She had a unique collection of old time western props and costumes that made excellent group photos. These photos reflect the heart of Arizona and its heritage. A great privilage was once having photographed Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his staff (Photo not available). Her best friend and husband, Tommy Gumm, was “Santa” each year. He listened to kids and adult’s Christmas wishes while Angelita “Mrs. Santa” took and gave each person a free photo. She reluctantly closed her business when she became ill.

Her best friend, fellow photographer, and traveler is Tommy Gumm. Together they chased thunderstorms, took vacations, attended trade shows where Tommy sold his wooden toys; and loved each other. Tom affectionately referred to Angelita as the “Little Missus” but we all know who that was! Their time and travel were cut short but not their Love for each other.

We miss you and look forward to seeing you again!

Love Always, Your Family.

Paulette Rachelle Brown Paulette Rachelle Brown, born November 4, 1976 in Phoenix, she spent most of her life in the West Valley.

A natural born leader and one who always had to be in the mix.

Never met a stranger, a friend to all, Was the life of the party and loved to have a ball!

Her laughter was contagious and drew you in, She loved to talk and once she got started it didn’t end!

She loved to wear make up and lots of dark lipstick, Bathing in vanilla perfume...the scent was so thick!

I looked up to her and thought she was so cool, Was always the popular one in school!

Rules to her were made to be broken, Living life and having fun was the token!

She loved to eat and always scarfed it down, In a fast eating contest she would’ve gotten the crown!

A can of Coke was her favorite drink, We all teased she left them laying around and we dumped more in the sink!

Everyone knew she could be a bit scattered, But we loved her the same because that wasn’t what mattered.

She was strong willed, stubborn, and tough, Never giving up even when she’d had enough.

She knew Jesus and wanted to live for him, I know He loved her and was with her til the very end.

Paulette Rachelle Brown, went home July 1, 2018, Running to the arms of her Savior who was waiting.

Paulette Rachelle Brown, the oldest sister, Gone too soon, oh how much we’ll miss her.

She was preceded in death by her grandparents and her mother Patricia Bare. She leaves behind her father, Jack Brown and stepmother Sandy; sisters, Jackie Gray (Seneca), Deserae Bare, Cassie Bremer (Greg), Alicia Cords, Kimberly Cords; and brother Dusty Brown; 3 children Jessie, Gracie and M; 18 nieces & nephews and many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Robert Emmett Maynard Robert Emmett Maynard January 7, 1947 to July 12, 2018 resided in Litchfield Park, having previously lived in Grafton, MA and Ft. Myers, FL. Son of Raymond J. Maynard and Helen K. Donahue of Grafton, MA. Leaves behind his wife of 34 years Elizabeth Bouvier Maynard; son, Jeffrey F. Maynard; son, Scott R. Maynard; daughter, Michelle A. Pupka; nine grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

Bob spent his life working in sales but his greatest achievement was helping others. Through his recovery program he was a power of example to many, and along the way Bob amassed hundreds of loyal friends. His good humor and great wit endeared him to many. Bob loved his beloved Boston Red Sox and golf. He will be missed by many.

A Celebration of Life will be held in both Arizona and Massachusetts, dates to be announced. Donations may be made in Bob’s name to: West Valley Fellowship Club, 919 N. Dysart Rd., Suite W., Avondale, AZ 85323 or Banner Hospice, 275 E. Germann Rd., #110, Gilbert, AZ 85297.
