Arizona Autism Charter Schools expands to WV

BY JORDAN ROGERS

West Valley View Staff Writer

rizona Autism Charter Schools Inc., the only autism-focused charter network in the state of Arizona, is hoping to attract students from throughout the West Valley to its new Peoria campus.

Set for its first day of school Monday, Aug. 1, Arizona Autism Charter Schools (AZACS) will welcome 120 students from kindergarten through fourth grade.

“The new AZACS West Valley Campus is a dream come true in so many ways,” said Diana Diaz-Harrison, AZACS founder and executive director. “It will help students and families who currently commute at least one hour one way to attend school at our main Central Phoenix campus.

“Additionally, it will make our specialized program for children with autism more accessible to students and families in the West Valley, who have been hungry for more school choice options on that side of town. With 1 in 41 children diagnosed with autism in our state, we know our school will make a huge impact in this community.”

The purchase of the campus was made possible by a $17 million bond financing project funded by the Maricopa County Industrial Development Authority.

West-MEC welcomes Spurgeon as superintendent

ollowing Greg Donovan’s departure from West-MEC, former Major League Baseball player Dr. Scott D. Spurgeon has stepped in as superintendent.

West-MEC is a career technical education public school district serving 12 public school communities in the north central and western portions of Maricopa County.

As incoming superintendent, Spurgeon will lead funding initiatives for programs and supervise methods of teaching, while

staying abreast of current and future economic development trends. He will also maintain systems to ensure the school district’s financial health.

Along with his new career path, Spurgeon is also adjusting to his new home here in the Valley, where he recently moved from St. Louis in June.

“I am very excited about this opportunity,” Spurgeon said. “I am committed to continuing the tradition of academic excellence for West-MEC student and adult learners and look forward to working with

all our community stakeholders and collaborative partners to make the West-MEC experience No. 1 in America.”

In his last role as superintendent for Riverview Gardens School District, an urban district of 5,750 students located in St. Louis, Missouri, Spurgeon oversaw all district operations and led initiatives to connect students to technical and certificate careers opportunities.

In 2020, Spurgeon received the Missouri

Diaz-Harrison opened her flagship campus in 2014. The location in Central Phoenix allowed AZACS to reach a larger population of children with a need for specialized schooling.

“I really wanted a school that was above and beyond compliance-driven public schools,” she said. “I wanted a school that was aiming for higher, no matter where a child fell on the spectrum. I did everything from district schools to private schools but noticed that there wasn’t really a good choice within the school choice charter sector that focused on this growing population.

“Because of this gap in exceptional programming in a school setting for kids with autism, I was inspired by my son and hundreds of other kids that were just forced to be in schools that were not a good fit.”

Despite having opened that first location in Phoenix, Diaz-Harrison said it was always her “dream” to open a school in the West Valley. Inspired both by her son, who has autism, and her career in education, she lived in Goodyear and saw a void in the area for children with autism.

NEWS In addition, after opening the Phoenix campus, she and her team did research and found that 30% of the children enrolled in her school commuted from the West Valley.

“I continued to know over the years that there was an unmet need in the West Valley,” Diaz-Harrison said. “It was always my original dream to have a West Valley school to attract autism families from Avondale, Tolleson, Goodyear.”

Though the Peoria campus is currently a kindergarten through fourth grade school, it will add grade levels through the enrolled students’ senior years of high school as they age with the school.

In addition, unlike other autism-focused schools throughout the Valley, AZACS is tuition free.

“They get this world-class, autism-specialty-focused school, and all they need to worry about is getting their kid there,” Diaz-Harrison said. “It is part of our mission to be accessible and tuition free so that a family’s demographic background is not a barrier to accessing the school.

“We’re a nonprofit, we’re a charter

and we’re tuition free, which really eliminates barriers for families who already have a challenging journey when they know that their child has more needs than most. At least paying for school is not one of those worries.”

Despite having just cut the ribbon on its second campus, Diaz-Harrison said she and her team are constantly doing “market research.” She will never rule out adding more campuses to meet the needs of autism families.

“We are excited to open this school and are open to growing our network to meet community demand and community need,” she said. “Every autism family should have the option for the highest, most enriching education that is differentiated to their child that is accessible and tuition free.

“So, we are not planning to stop growing our network. We plan to answer the call of the community and open sites wherever kids really need them.”

It’s easy to see the damage to your car after an accident, but the damage to your body may remain hidden.

As a doctor who has treated 100’s of whiplash patients I can tell you that whiplash-pain is different from other types of neck pain.

After a whiplash injury, many patients develop long lasting pain that often spreads throughout their body; a condition called Chronic Widespread Pain Syndrome.

Research shows nearly 1 out of 2 patients respond poorly to treatment of chronic widespread pain, post-whiplash, resulting in lifelong symptoms.

The journal, Pain Physician, reports long term symptoms following a whiplash are due to abnormal pain processing in the brain. Other researchers found patients who develop a widespread pain syndrome after an auto accident have abnormal function in their inner ear.

More alarming, many of the routine tests used to evaluate whiplash patients are normal in those patients who go on to develop lifelong symptoms.

Have you been in an accident?

Several simple tests can help you to determine if you are at risk for long term problems. Call us today at 623.547.4727 and I’ll help you find out. ~ George W. Kukurin DC DACAN

Spurgeon...continued from page 1 Association of School Administrators (MASA) Missouri State Superintendent of the Year Award. The following year, Spurgeon was elected by MASA membership to be one of five American Association of School Administrators Executive Governing Board members for a three-year term.

Spurgeon has taken the reins from Greg Donovan, who served for more than 42 years in the education industry and 20 as West-MEC’s founding superintendent.

Spurgeon earned a Doctor of Education from St. Louis University, a Master of Educational Administration from Northeastern State University, and an education specialist degree from Oklahoma State University.

Previously, Spurgeon was a catcher, first baseman and designated hitter for the Houston Astros.

As an Arizona transplant, Spurgeon is poised to continue West-MEC’s mission of preparing students today for tomorrow’s careers. Spurgeon added, “The opportunities West-MEC provides for high school and adult students are second to none.”

Spurgeon said his goal in the coming weeks is to spend some time listening and learning from the West-MEC community, staff, businesses and industry partnerships to determine where WestMEC is at as a career-readiness institution. He added that he wants to get a thorough understanding of West-MEC to find out how to service the community in ways which have seen positive results.

“I’m very well known for strengthening collaborative and community connections to benefit the students, parents, staff, and the business and industry that we serve,” Spurgeon said.

“I also have a great strength in being what I call a convener of resources. We want to continue to provide credential-

ing and certifications and training and the program services that we need for our learners in our community. There are ways in which we can sometimes utilize scarce resources and provide programs and services for our kids.”

Spurgeon has made a commitment to find ways to improve West-MEC and make it a better place for all learners and industries, and to form partnerships with state local officials to continue to strengthen the commitment to its students and local communities.

“One of the major focuses for myself and for our leadership team is going to be really to refocus back on our strategic plan to find out what’s most important for us as West-MEC to provide programs and services to our adult and our student learners.

“I think there’s real power in our learners achieving their industry credentials and certifications. And really, that ensures that they have the skills to be employable for business and industry and that ultimately leads to future economic development for our entire region. What I’m after is a highly trained pipeline of available workforce members that will, you know, attract and retain business and industry in the West Valley and bring more jobs to assist with providing economic stability for large families.”

House panel on teen mental health maps work

BY PAUL MARYNIAK

West Valley View Staff Writer

A

special state House committee on teen mental health in Arizona held its first meeting last month with one of the panel’s two cochairs warning people not to expect any overnight fix.

And with that warning by Gilbert state Rep. Travis Grantham, panel cochair and Goodyear Rep. Joanne Osborne asked the participants to form three or four working groups and come back with specific proposals by September that can be studied and debated through the fall and presented to House Speaker Rusty Bowers before the end of the year.

Reacting to a spate of suicides that claimed the lives of at least eight Valley teens between mid-March and mid-May, Bowers, R-Mesa, created the panel of mental health experts to prepare potential solutions and recommendations to public and private agencies that address teen mental health

issues and improving access to mental health care.

On June 12, various experts pointed out a variety of data illustrating more teens — as well as adults — are struggling with anxiety and other mental and emotional issues that only intensified and engulfed more kids during the pandemic.

Some experts also noted access to care is difficult, often because of cost.

Despite the steady increase in drug overdose deaths among Arizona kids 17 and younger, there were some encouraging signs in 2020, said Sheila Sjolander, assistant director of public health services for the state Department of Health Services.

Although data for 2021 won’t be available until November, she said deaths and nonfatal overdoses in that age group declined slightly in 2020, giving what Sjolander called “a glimmer of hope.”

Grantham warned the panel and people in the audience against unrealistic

hopes for the committee’s work.

“There was an understanding that while mental health can be addressed and can be changed and for the better,” he said, “it’s like steering a ship: you turn the wheel, and over time, the ship slowly starts to move, hopefully, in the

He said in relation to teen mental health, the Legislature first wanted to address funding for school resource officers “because if somebody at

school is going to have something in their backpacks or do something bad because they’re suicidal or because they have a mental health issue, we at least want every single request for an SRO at a school to be filled before addressing the next step, which was additional counselors and all those mental health programs and things that are important.

“But we’ve gotten to a point where even if we threw $10 million at counselors, it wouldn’t change these problems,” Grantham continued, noting that increased funding for SROs was prioritized “to try to at least stop one of these issues from occurring in the first place and then address the mental health as well.”

On a more general note, Grantham said after six years in the Legislature, he’s learned the government moves much slower than the private business sector.

“We all come down here as legislators thinking we can, like, just enact or do something and change the trajectory of whatever the issue is,” he said.

“It could be taxes. It could be mental health. I’m a business guy, too. And government, unfortunately a lot of times, doesn’t work like business.”

He told the group it may want to consider what it actually can do, admitting “this will be a frustrating exercise.”

“And that’s hard,” he said. “That’s a really hard thing to come up with. Everybody who’s in these working groups … needs to really focus in on what can government actually do to fix this problem. Can I do anything? Where can we focus our energy that way, because the battle next year if we address this will be to get here in January and get at least 31 people in this room, in this chamber, to agree to whatever is being proposed.

And then 16 across the way and then a governor to sign it into law.”

He noted many agencies “will say, ‘We can do that. Just give us more money.’

“Well, the problem is there’s not enough money for us to give to answer all those questions every year, because every agency and every level of government, their asks never go down.”

He added, “I wish there was more God in our schools and our families

and our federal moral structure in our country. A lot of these problems would be solved. We have a decay occurring that you can’t fix here. But what you can do is at least try to empower the families, give them more of their own resources back to address this internally and encourage them to do it in education. Government can’t legislate morality. We can’t make home life good for this body. All we can do is help create an environment that allows families to have a better home life.”

Osborne, who is running in the Aug. 2 primary election, expressed a determination to have the committee produce concrete results that can be addressed in the next Legislative session as well as by the new state administration next year.

Stressing that “legislation is only a piece of what we’re doing,” Osborne said the panel also can address some of the gaps experts and advocates noted — including access to mental health care and treatment.

She suggested that some data being generated by agencies that reflect the state of teen mental health could be shared with school districts, churches and nonprofits.

“We also have only a short window of time,” Osborne said. “This isn’t something we want to see (drag) in the next year, planning to death and having just a binder at the end of the day. We want to have something that’s pertinent now — within the next six months.”

What those working groups come up with won’t be clear until the committee meets in full sometime in September.

June border encounters set 1.74 million record for year

BY DAISY GONZALEZ-PEREZ Cronkite News

M

ore than 1.74 million migrants were stopped at the southwest border through June, breaking the record set through all of the last fiscal year with three months still to go in this fiscal year.

The latest numbers from Customs and Border Protection show that while apprehensions fell sharply from May to June, they were still above 200,000 for a fourth straight month. That pushed encounters in the first nine months of fiscal 2022 past the previous record of 1.73 million apprehensions through all of fiscal 2021.

Analysts said the numbers may be misleading, because they do not represent individual migrants but could include people who have tried to cross more than once and been stopped each time.

But Republicans were quick to seize on the new data to attack the Biden administration over its border policies.

“Because of President Biden’s open-border policies and refusal to

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 27, 2022

enforce our immigration laws, there were 207,416 illegal migrant encounters at our border in June,” Rep. Debbie Lesko, R-Peoria, said in a tweet that used the trending hashtag #BidenBorderCrisis. Lesko represents Arizona’s 8th Congressional District , which spans portions of the West Valley.

Apprehensions in the Tucson and Yuma sectors of the border followed the overall trend, with the numbers lower between May and June but sharply higher for the year to date.

CBP said apprehensions in Yuma jumped from 59,960 in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 to 235,230 encounters through June of this year, easily topping the annual record of 138,438 encounters set in fiscal 2005.

Tucson encounters in the first three quarters of the year rose from 138,769 in fiscal 2021 to 195,112 this year.

While sharply higher, it was still well below the record of more than 600,000 migrants stopped in the Tucson sector in fiscal 2000.

CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus, the former Tucson police chief, cautioned against reading too much into the numbers, saying 26% of those stopped at the border last month had been stopped at least one previous time in the past 12 months. In a statement July 15, he put the actual number of individuals stopped at the border in June at 153,379.

Magnus also noted the total encounters fell 14%, from 240,991 in May to 207,416 in June. But administration critics said that’s nothing to brag about, given how high the overall numbers remain.

“We are averaging over 200,000 a month,” said Ira Mehlman, spokesperson for the Federation for American Immigration Reform. “June numbers (are) down a bit, but bragging about 9.1% to 8.9% is not going to please anybody.”

Mehlman said the numbers are “trending in the wrong direction” and “there’s every expectation that the numbers are going to continue to soar until this administration decides that it is going to exercise its responsibilities and obligations to secure our borders and enforce our laws.”

An analyst with the Migration Policy Institute agreed that the number of encounters will continue to rise and that they could top 2 million for fiscal 2022.

But Jessica Bolter also agreed with Magnus that 2 million encounters does

not mean 2 million individuals.

“It’s very likely that the number of total encounters will surpass 2 million this fiscal year, but that won’t be representative of the number of different people caught crossing the border,” Bolter said.

“Because these encounter numbers count events rather than individuals, the number of unique individual people arriving and being encountered by Border Patrol each month at the border is lower,” she said.

She said only 1.3 million unique individuals tried to cross the border in the first nine months of fiscal 2022, well below the 1.74 million encounters reported by CBP, which makes it “quite likely that it (individual border crossers) will not” surpass 2 million for the year.

Gov. Doug Ducey may have unwittingly acknowledged what Bolter and Magnus were arguing, saying in a tweet July 18 that “more than a quarter of those encounters were repeat offenders.”

Mehlman conceded there may be double-counting of people in the encounter numbers, but he said they should not be ignored.

“These are the numbers that they’ve encountered,” Mehlman said. “We obviously don’t know how many people they didn’t encounter.”

ince 1984, city of Goodyear leaders and residents have envisioned a place to gather for events such as festivals, concerts and parades — a place that would create a true heart of the city.

On Monday, Aug. 1, that vision becomes reality with a ribbon-cutting celebration, decades in the making, to mark the opening of Goodyear Civic Square at GSQ. Festivities kick off at 7 a.m. with yoga in the park, music and food trucks. The ribbon-cutting ceremony starts at 8 a.m. and ends with confetti cannons and a balloon drop. The ceremony will also be streamed on the city’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

CNBC state rankings say a lot about the network

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ West Valley View Columnist

T

his week we ponder the greatest mystery in the 110-year history of the Grand Canyon State.

No, not how does a noxious fraud like Kari Lake lead the Republican gubernatorial field in 2022, according to multiple polls. I’m talking about Arizona’s other great mystery.

Namely, if this state is such a wretched place to live — as proclaimed yet again recently by the folks at CNBC television — then why do so many people keep moving here?

My hypothesis follows, but first we should delve into CNBC’s analysis, released last week.

As the network tells it, “We put the states through an unprecedented 88 metrics in ten categories of competitiveness,” all to crown America’s best states for business and 10 worst states in which to live.

On the positive side, Arizona ranked

34th for business. On the negative side, we’re dead last in states to call home.

CNBC correspondent Scott Cohn’s Arizona write-up started off with a super clever “It’s a dry heat” reference before knocking the state for having “some of the worst air quality in the nation,” which stresses our “poor health care system, short on hospital beds and staff.”

In a nod at balance, Scotty touted Arizona’s “stunning natural beauty and topnotch cultural and recreational attractions.” However, “that comes at a stiff price in America’s worst state to live in.”

I contacted Scott to discuss his hometown, the hippie dippie central California enclave of Santa Cruz. Just FYI, in Santa Cruz the average monthly rent on a studio apartment doubled over the last year to $2,500, according to the website Zumper.

Santa Cruz’s violent crime rate is 31% higher than Arizona’s, according to the Best Places website, while the property crime rate is 12% higher.

Of course, all the maiming and stealing may be explained by Santa Cruz’s stratospheric cost of living — approxi-

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Re: The president’s first job Editor: I believe the president’s first and most important job is to protect our country against aggressors both foreign and domestic.

Let’s talk about 18 months of “open borders” and nothing being done.

They are punishing Border Patrol agents while drug pushers, rapists and gang members just walk around the “end of the wall.”

All the up-and-coming politicians are talking about finishing the wall, but it’s “lip service.” Do something!

Two and a half million people came into the country, and still, nobody is concerned!

Her opponent apparently has no credentials, as all she does is lie about Joanne.

mately double Arizona’s, according to Best Places.

Sadly, Scott did not get back to me before my deadline. I hope he’s OK, living in such a hellhole.

As far as the CNBC survey, I’m of two minds.

One, let’s hope the 100,000 people planning a move to Arizona this year read it and stay home. All that migration is driving up the cost of housing and goods, plus hurting everything from traffic to air quality to the wait time between holes on one of Arizona’s 500 golf courses.

Then there’s my other theory, which explains the mystery of Arizona being ranked so miserably yet remaining so popular to new residents.

It’s simple: While CNBC’s “unprecedented 88 metrics” sound impressive, their made-up criteria have zero to do with why people choose a home.

Put simply, their analysis is all about the brain, crunching “empirical data,” while human beings choose homes with the heart.

When was the last time you asked someone, “Hey, what brought you to Ari-

zona?” only to have them respond, “Well, I ranked my top choices on 88 metrics, like inclusiveness in state laws, including protections against discrimination of all kinds, as well as voting rights.”

People move to Arizona for exactly six reasons. A job. Family. The weather.

And also: the weather, the weather, the weather.

Cable networks can say what they want, but Arizona apparently has the essential qualities people seek in a home.

Humans are fickle that way, falling in love with places for the oddest reasons.

It’s the same with TV channels. Maybe that’s why CNBC ranks 44th in the TV ratings, right behind Nick Jr., and with half the audience of the Game Show Network.

I guess it’s tricky to outdraw Gene Rayburn and reruns of “Match Game” — even though Gene’s been dead since 1999. Apparently, fake state rankings aren’t doing the trick.

Joanne is a strong woman who knows right from wrong and speaks the truth!

Vote Osborne!

Arizona ‘victim’ just another curious ‘Sign of the Times’

BY J.D. HAYWORTH

West Valley View Columnist

T

his column previously suggested The New York Times could improve its accuracy by amending the longtime front-page slogan “All the news that’s fit to print.”

Now the so-called “newspaper of re-

cord” has again offered fresh evidence that it really features “All the news that fits its agenda.”

And the Times does so with a sympathetic profile of a curious figure who used to call Arizona home.

Former Queen Creek resident Ray Epps, who initially appeared among the Top 20 of the FBI’s “most wanted” for the unrest at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and who was characterized as a pre-planner of

Board certified with the American Academy of Dermatology

the siege in the Times-produced video documentary about the events of that day, now gets a dramatic makeover in a recent story written by reporter Alan Feuer.

The July 13 edition of The New York Times features a headline that spells out what the publication has just “discovered” about Epps’ nonprosecution. “‘It’s Just Been Hell’: Life as the Victim of a Jan. 6 Conspiracy Theory” presents readers with two value judgments in that one headline. First, Ray Epps is a “victim”; secondly, anyone who questions his role or the events of that day is a believer in a “conspiracy theory.”

The subheading goes even further in this effort to persuade instead of inform.

It reads, “Ray Epps became the unwitting face of an attempt by pro-Trump forces to promote the baseless idea that the FBI was behind the attack on the Capitol.”

Let’s translate the above from the “Progressive Press Stylebook,” shall we?

What the Times is really feeding us is the following blather: Ray Epps is an entirely blameless, innocent man. This “gentle giant” was shocked to learn his well-intentioned but admittedly misguided trip from Arizona to Washington would be used by extremists so enthralled by Donald Trump they would ignore the pure and noble motives of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an organization beyond reproach and so committed to true justice it would never dream of seeking to entrap American citizens in questionable activities.

That “translation” is only a slight exaggeration.

What is greatly exaggerated is the style of Alan Feuer’s reportage to reposition Ray Epps “on the side of the angels” — in other words, with the Times and its political allies.

The writer goes to great lengths to “reimagine” Ray Epps as “a man whose life has been ruined by a Jan. 6 conspiracy theory.”

Also “reimagined” is the video of Epps on the evening of Jan. 5, when he shouted out to Trump supporters gathered at Black Lives Matter Plaza. Here’s the way Alan Feuer recounts it: “During the event, he (Epps) was videotaped by a right-wing provocateur encouraging people to go inside the Capitol on Jan. 6 in what he described, even at the time, as a form of peaceful protest.”

It’s more than passing curiosity that

Feuer describes the person recording the video as a “right-wing provocateur” but fails to detail the crowd’s reaction to Epps.

Those gathered responded to his call that “Tomorrow we need to go into the Capitol — into the Capitol!” with shock. They respond, “What? No!” Then, they accuse Epps of being a provocateur himself.

“Fed, Fed, Fed, Fed,” they shout… but the reporter doesn’t mention it.

Sadly, modern journalism has exchanged accuracy for advocacy. “Who, what, when, where, why and how” have been replaced by the “power of narrative,” delivered with the passion, and often the premeditated imprecision, of a partisan political perspective. With increasing regularity, the goal of such coverage is to portray conservative policies, pursuits and politicians as targets worthy of unremitting invective.

Objectivity has been abandoned, and that abandonment has been championed.

Of course, The New York Times isn’t alone in this effort.

No less a prominent practitioner of “modern journalism” than Lester Holt, the anchor of “NBC Nightly News,” added his energy, advocacy and alleged insight to the cause when he stated in 2021 that “fairness is overrated.”

And more recently, the Pulitzer Prize Board refused to revoke the joint award it bestowed on the New York Times and the Washington Post in 2018 for articles concerning — as the board states it — “Russian interference in the U.S. election and its connections to the Trump campaign.”

Never mind the fact that in March of 2019, the Mueller Report found no evidence Donald Trump colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election.

Facts… full reporting… fairness… who needs ’em?

Just a free society, filled with citizens who yearn to remain free.

And now objectivity is passé… it’s just so… so… so 20th century!

But it’s worth remembering the 20th was called “The American Century.”

Don’t bet on the same description for the 21st.

J.D. Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. House from 1995-2007. He authored and sponsored the Enforcement First Act, legislation that would have mandated enforcement of Federal Immigration Law in the 109th Congress.

O

f the cities within the West Valley, Goodyear continues to be one of the fastest growing. Here are a few of the newest developments Goodyear residents can either check out or expect to see by the end of the year.

BJ’s to open near Civic Square Location: Estrella Falls Regional Center, 14950 W. McDowell Road This Southern California-based restaurant is one of the most desired restaurants from Goodyear’s recent retail survey.

The popular family-friendly restaurant is constructing its newest prototype and the first of its kind in Arizona, expected to open later this year.

After beginning as a pizza joint before becoming a restaurant and brewhouse, BJ’s now has over 18 signature pizza creations, from tavern cut and deep dish to made-to-order combinations. The hand-pressed deep dish pizza dough is crafted to be double proofed, which means it rises twice, leaving customers wanting more than one slice.

Aside from pizza, the restaurant features an expansive menu, serving just about any customer cravings, including handcrafted burgers, soups and salads, sandwiches and tacos, pastas, appetizers, handcrafted beers and its famous pizookies.

Customers can enjoy daily and happy hour specials, family meal deals and $11 lunch specials that run Monday through Friday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Upon joining BJ’s premier rewards program, customers will receive a free pizookie, exclusive deals and points that turn into rewards.

Arizona Coyotes enter rebuild mode with 3 first-round picks

BY MARCOS GRANDA MARTÍNEZ Cronkite News

T

hree weeks ago, the Arizona Coyotes had a busy night in the first round of the 2022 NHL Draft with three picks — tied for most in the league with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Coyotes are in full rebuild mode.

Not only have they examined the future of their roster, but also of the franchise since the June announcement that a new arena will be built in Tempe after problems with the Gila River Arena. For now, they will play in the ASU Multi-Purpose Arena.

From the new location, the Coyotes will closely follow Logan Cooley’s career at the University of Minnesota. Arizona selected the center with the third pick in the draft. He already started training at the Ice Den in Scottsdale at the Coyotes’

development camp but will spend time in the NCAA before turning professional.

The other two picks come from Canada. During draft night, the Coyotes traded to move up for the 11th pick, choosing center Conor Geekie out of Strathclair, Manitoba. Arizona also traded up for the 28th pick to select Maveric Lamoureux, who went viral on social media for an awkward moment from his parents.

On July 11, all three players were introduced alongside Coyotes general manager Bill Armstrong, who showed excitement about the rebuild.

“We felt really, really good about the fact that Logan was there at (pick No. 3) for us,” Armstrong said. “Then, we were able to move to get to Conor and then Maveric was our last one where we moved up with the Edmonton pick and

CALENDAR Wigglers and Walkers

The West Valley View publishes on Wednesday.

The weekly 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.

Weekly 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 Christina Fuoco-Karasinski, christina@TimesLocalMedia.com

SUDOKU TIME

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

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

Buckeye bookmobile brings library to the readers

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA West Valley View Staff Writer

P

atty Cross, who works with the Buckeye Public Library System and its mobile library, remembers the impact her community bookmobile had on her as a child.

“I grew up with a bookmobile up in Idaho, and I still remember. I even remember my bookmobile driver’s name,” said Cross, library assistant and bookmobile/outreach. “But it was always, ‘The bookmobile is coming, Mom! Let’s go to the bookmobile!’”

She parlays that love of reading and community togetherness into her role with the local Roadrunner Bookmobile, through which she has made her own impact since the city of Buckeye launched it in 2008.

She said it provides a personal touch and allows her to get to know the community.

“Because our bookmobile goes out and deals with people on a smaller-number basis at a time, Patty is really able to focus on those customers who are coming and what their needs are. And they love her,” said Christine Larson, library/ museum administrator.

“When somebody else has to drive the bookmobile, we hear about it because everybody wants to know where Patty is, because she has provided that amazing service and helps them not only just find what they’re wanting, but she has gotten to know them and is able to suggest literacy, different authors or different writings, or bring things out for them to try.

It’s pretty amazing how she can personalize that service for them.”

The Buckeye Public Library System offers bookmobile services to the Buena Vista, Festival, Sundance, Tartesso and Verrado communities, according to the city’s website. Services include checking items out, returning items, placing hold requests or getting a library card.

“We have a little bit of everything on there; it’s just a smaller amount, of course,” Cross said, citing more than 2,000 books onboard, ranging from

those targeted for kids to others for young adults or adults, subjects both fiction and nonfiction, and even graphic novels. “And we have room for people to come on and look around.”

The bookmobile plays an important role in providing literary access to those who may otherwise not have the means to get to a library.

“Back when we launched the bookmobile in 2008 — our city encompasses 650 square miles — we only had one library at that time, which was the Downtown Library, far away from the I-10, and our community goes way north of I-10. And so (we were) looking for a desirability to provide library services to our entire community, which was growing back then. We had the housing boom that was happening, and Buckeye was growing really fast,” Larson recalled.

“So the bookmobile was our way to expand our reach of library services. That’s why we have it still, and we are continually looking for how we can utilize it to expand our services to those who can’t get to our library or the time’s not right, they’re working, whatever — but ways so that we can get out into the community.”

The city may now have two locations, the Downtown Library, 310 N. Sixth Street, and Coyote Branch, 21699 W. Yuma Road, Suite 116, but its bookmobile is still going strong, bringing reading opportunities directly to those in the community.

The next three stops include the Buckeye Senior Center from 11 a.m. to noon

Wednesday, July 27; the Sage Recreation Center from 9 a.m. to noon Thursday, July 28; and the Tartesso Community Park from 1 to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, July 28.

“During the school year, we expand it, and we’ll be expanding to different venues as well. So we’re looking forward to that,” Cross said. “We do a lot of pre-

schools and events, parades. We’re going to go to the Sundance Park and meet up with people there that are there for sports and just be there for people.”

Larson added, “That’s going to be a test pilot that we’re doing. We have hundreds and hundreds of people that go to the park for their practices and their games.

And so in just trying to figure out how to best serve the community, we’re going to test-pilot going out to where big groups of people are and educate them about the library, about the bookmobile, where it’s going, where they can find it, and hopefully be able to just educate people about the library and what it has to offer.”

JOB SEEKERS

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | JULY 27, 2022

Developing Good Search Habits L ooking for work doesn’t have to become a full-time job There’s so much fear and anxiety associated with being out of work that it’s easy to spend too much time searching for employment. There can be more stress involved with looking than there ever was while holding a position. That’s why it’s important to develop good search habits so that every moment counts.

friends, family and peers is so important to mental wellness. Their support and encouragement can provide needed motivation when the job hunt becomes frustrating. Begin by discussing where you’ve applied and the experiences you’ve had. They’ve likely had a similar experience in the past, and can offer welcome advice. They might even help you make a connection you hadn’t thought of yet.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT

STRENGTH IN NUMBERS

Burn out is a very real risk when you spend too much time looking for a job, in particular if a significant amount of time goes by and financial worries compound things. Incorporating more effective habits will help focus your search, while also potentially shortening the time between jobs. It’s important not to isolate yourself during this time, since the support of

Beyond your social circle, don’t forget to continue networking — just as you would if you were already employed and trying to continue a professional development journey. These contacts might also alert you to job openings before they’re posted for the general public. Search out job-hunting groups, either in person or virtually, for additional support. They’ve likely been

where you are before too — and you’ll be widening your possible contact pool for future employment. Search social-media sites like Facebook and LinkedIn for groups, or postings a job-search offices. You might even make a new friend.

SHARPEN YOUR RESUME Too often, job searchers get stuck on the latest version of their resume. It’s understandable since we often spend a lengthy amount of time adding and polishing this document in the hopes of effectively showcasing our candidacy. But reorganizing your resume and cover letter with an eye on a particular job or a position in a different field is critical to making the best impression — and making it quickly. Focus on specific keywords related to the industry, since some prospective employers use tracking systems to pre-screen applicants. That can speed things along, too.
