LESD building ‘School 16’ in Goodyear

By Connor Dziawura

The West Valley will have another new school in the fall of 2019.

Construction is underway on the Litchfield Elementary School District’s School 16 in Goodyear’s master-planned community Sedella, thanks to voter-approved bonds, adjacent ways and other means. The total project cost is roughly $15 million.

Over in Avondale, the Tolleson Union High School District is constructing West Point High School. It is expected to open next summer at the northwest corner of Avondale and Encanto boulevards.

Litchfield Elementary School District’s as-of-yet unnamed School 16, set to open Aug. 5, will be located at 18601 W. Campbell Ave., north of Indian School Road and east of Perryville Road. It will service kindergarten through eighth-grade students.

Situated on 18 acres, the 85,000-squarefoot school will be energy efficient, Planning Principal Courtney Frazier said.

“The school itself is going to be honoring the history of the community around it – there’s a bunch of farmland around Read about Tolleson Union’s West Point High School groundbreaking on page 3.

Avondale’s Raceway Elks honors local first responders

By Connor Dziawura

Avondale’s Raceway Elks Lodge No. 2852 honored first responders from several West Valley departments at an annual dinner held Saturday, Sept. 22.

This year’s honorees included Avondale Police Officer Justin Iwen and Fire Capt.

Steve Mayhew, Goodyear Police Detective Noah Yeo and Fire Capt. Matt Raney,

Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office District 2 Sgt. Jerry Scott, and Surprise Police Officer Christopher Thomas and Fire Engineer Ryan Ellis. Scott was unable to attend the presentation.

Elks Exalted Ruler George Maniscalco knows the importance of recognizing law enforcement personnel, as he has experienced what it’s like to serve in such posi-

tions.

“Being a retired police officer myself, I know what it’s like for somebody to pat you on the shoulder and say, ‘Hey, thank you.’ And that’s what this is all about,” said Maniscalco, who served as a Los Angeles police officer from 1974 to 1998,

School 16...continued from page 1 fields, and plenty of additional space for students, Frazier said. In a YouTube video about the school, Frazier also said it “will have innovative learning spaces, a special area building complete with a gymnasium, music room, art room and science lab, and also a media center situated on a beautiful lot with mountain views.”

Efficient use of its location will create “additional outdoor learning spaces, larger playgrounds and a more open feel to the campus,” said Dan Ensign, director of facilities. He added its classroom sizes are comparable to those at other campuses.

“The two-story design results in less outside building envelope resulting in less heat gain and cooling requirements,” Ensign expanded of its energy-efficient nature. “The interior hallways reduce the number of exterior doors, so the loss of heating and cooling during movement throughout the campus will be significantly minimized.”

The school will also have LED lighting, an energy management system and low maintenance flooring, he said. The campus will emphasize safe school routes and improve traffic patterns via

increased parent queuing.

Specific details about potential extracurricular activities are reliant on the type of school and have yet to be determined, with Frazier hoping for more information by the end of October. The district’s curriculum is more uniform, though.

“We have a guaranteed and viable curriculum across all of Litchfield, and our goal is to continue the excellence of Litchfield,” Frazier said. “However, we are going to have a makerspace in our STEM lab.”

That makerspace’s capabilities will range from “high tech” to “no tech,” Frazier said.

“Our goal is to be able to personalize their learning experience, and we’ll have that lab in addition to the opportunity to personalize learning for kids in the classroom,” she explained.

Superintendent Jodi Gunning agreed.

“Our priority is offering personalized learning opportunities for all students in a safe and caring environment,” Gunning said. “We are committed to helping all students achieve their potential in school and in life.”

School 16’s capacity will be 900 students, though that won’t be to start. The district is planning for the new school with community growth in mind.

Not only is Sedella growing, but so is the entire Southwest Valley – and that’s why School 16 is necessary.

“We have just had tons of growth in the Southwest Valley and we have a rise in student enrollment, and families are really coming to Litchfield because of the reputation of being an A-plus school district,” she said. “We know that our community needs a new school just to continue this strong history of academic excellence and provide that for each and every kid.”

West Point High School under construction in Avondale

By Connor Dziawura

The arrival of the Dragons is one step closer, as West Point High School held its groundbreaking ceremony Sept. 19.

The Tolleson Union High School District’s seventh high school is on track to open in July at the northwest corner of Avondale and Encanto boulevards, according to Superintendent Nora Gutierrez.

“We have over 12,000 students (at the district), and therefore it was absolutely necessary to build this amazing high school as the West Valley continues to grow,” Gutierrez said at the ceremony.

Split into two phases, the 2019-20 school year will enroll freshmen and sophomores. After phase two of construction is complete the following summer, the 2020-21 school year will add juniors and seniors into the fold. The district estimates 1,200 students will enroll in the first year, though the design can accommodate 3,000 students.

“Phase one of the new high school will include building the instructional space, the athletic and common areas for our freshmen and sophomores only, and then phase two, expected to be completed by the summer of 2020, will build out the rest of the campus,” Gutierrez detailed. “That will include the space for all our juniors and seniors and allowing for the completion of varsity fields for athletics.”

Ben Barcon, principal at ADM Group, elaborated that the campus is 310,000 square feet and sits on 69 acres of land. It will have 11 major buildings, he said. ADM Group is architect for the project, while Chasse Building Team is the contractor.

“We are just honored to be a part of this project.

We do schools all over the state, but there is something special about the West Valley,” said Chasse Building Team President Barry Chase about community support.

Curriculum, of course, is important with any school. Among the district’s partners in this new endeavor, Gutierrez explained, is the nearby Luke Air Force Base.

“The design includes a wing pattern throughout the campus,” she expanded. “We have partnered with Luke Air Force Base, and we’ll provide an academy with rigorous and challenging curriculum and an emphasis on STEAM, which stands for science, technology, engineering, arts and math. And the academy will also focus on leadership, community service, critical thinking skills and the maximization of our students’ potential.

“West Point High School will have an Innovation Center that is open and flexible to meet the needs of our students and the flexible needs of the curriculum of all students, which is ever changing,” she added.

Growth in the West Valley was ultimately a factor for the construction of the new school.

“When I started on the board almost four years ago, we were providing information that talked about the growth in our community and the fact that we would need a new high school eventually. To see it actually come to fruition is so exciting,” said governing board President Corina Madruga.

“I want to thank the voters because without them we would not have the funding for this school,” she added after thanking guests in attendance, and the district’s partners. “So, thank you to the voters who believe in public education, who believe in our students, who have made the investment to our students and to our district.”

Barcon also thanked the state for additional funding because nearly $48 million of the project’s funding comes from the Arizona School Facilities Board. Another nearly $7 million is coming from adjacent ways. The voter-approved bond authorized over $53 million. The full project has a guaran-

teed maximum price of over $108 million.

“I for one can hardly wait until this school is built,” Barcon said. “It’s going to be state of the art, it’s going to be gorgeous, and I think our friends over here at Luke are going to enjoy our wings and everything else that we’ve incorporated into the design.”

Aside from publicly discussing the school’s name and mascot, the school’s colors – black and red – were also mentioned.

“The process for naming the school and determining the mascot and colors was one that included the entire community,” Gutierrez said. “Students, parents, community members, staff members and even students from our partner districts had a chance to weigh in on the name of the school, the colors and the mascot.”

Boundaries have yet to be determined. West Point’s principal is expected to be named by January.

Avondale continues park renovations to enhance community

By Heather Copfer

It’s a series of renovations that continues to truck on.

Throughout the last few years, minor renovations have been made to Avondale neighborhood and community parks. But this fiscal year, the council

invested resources to address a handful of upgrades that have been on hold.

“Over the course of the last several years, there were only marginal renovations and improvements that had been taken care of at the parks to sustain a level of safety,” said Kirk Haines, Avon-

Jordan Oland M.D.

B.J. Ho

dale’s Parks and Recreation Department director. “The goal coming into this year was to raise our service level for our residents to a higher level.”

Haines also said there were things within the parks that really did need to be corrected, updated and rejuvenated.

The biggest investment is the $12 million to Festival Fields. While the process is still in the design phase, upgrades will cover nearly 25 acres of park improvements from an added skate park and splash pad to the rejuvenation of its irrigation system. Construction is set to begin in the early months of 2019.

Meanwhile, $1.9 million is slated for updates to Friendship Park. Improve-

ments include an additional dog park, LED field lights on two soccer fields and restroom and playground replacement. Residents can expect this park to begin its changes as early as December of this year.

But three parks began construction this past May as part of their $1.1 million neighborhood park improvement plan: Mountain View, DeConcini and Fred Campbell.

DeConcini and Fred Campbell receive similar changes in their updated look. This includes: rejuvenation of their basketball courts, improvement of area security lighting and added park benches.

The largest renovation of this group of parks is at Mountain View Park, which will be the first park set to complete construction. In celebration, Avondale is presenting Neighborhood Movie Nights starting Saturday, Sept.

29, at 5:30 p.m. with the Disney feature, Wreck-It Ralph. The event, located at 201 W. Mountain View Drive, Avondale, will show off Mountain View Park’s new picnic shelter area, benches, updated sand volleyball court and turf and irrigation improvements.

Haines said the support from the community has been overwhelming since initial changes were made a couple years ago to Friendship Park. Community gatherings and general use of parks have increased over the years, and Haines hopes that the appreciation and excitement will continue with the completion of the other parks to “what we believe is the standard that we’d like to see for our neighborhood parks.”

Blood, platelet donations needed due to Hurricane Florence

By West Valley View staff

As the American Red Cross responds to Hurricane Florence, providing food, shelter and comfort to those affected, individuals outside the affected areas are urged to help by giving blood or platelets to care for patients in the storm’s path and across the country. People can also help by making a financial donation to support relief efforts.

Hurricane Florence’s wrath left catastrophic damage behind and also took a toll on blood and platelet donations.

Nearly 200 Red Cross blood drives in the Southeast were forced to cancel, resulting in more than 5,200 uncollected blood and platelet donations.

“Natural disasters like hurricanes can disrupt blood drives and prevent donors from giving, but hospital patients still depend on lifesaving transfusions,” said Cliff Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Blood Services. “There is an especially critical need for platelets to help cancer patients and type O blood

Elks..continued from page 6 “Our organization is proud of the hard work, dedication and leadership that Capt. Raney displays on a daily basis,” Lozano read.

Surprise Officer and Firefighter of the Year A police officer in Surprise since 2007, Thomas became a school resource officer in 2009. He is assigned to Valley Vista High School, where he encourages students to raise money for the Special Olympics. He has also developed a diversion program to keep Dysart Unified School District students out of the court system.

The Arizona School Resource Officers Association named him the 2017 Arizona School Resource Officer in June 2017.

Thomas impacts “the lives of young people, both as a friend and mentor, while still holding them accountable and being a law enforcement presence at the school,” Lozano read. “Officer Thomas uses a triad approach to school policing (teacher, counseling and policing) to bridge the gap between police and the youth of today. He teaches law-related education to deepen their understanding of civic responsibility and seeks to develop their respect for

donations for ongoing patient care and emergencies. Every donation can be a lifeline for patients.”

Donors of all blood types are urged to help restore hope to patients across the country by making an appointment today to give blood or platelets.

Appointments can be made by using the Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

Financial donations are also needed and allow the Red Cross to provide disaster relief immediately. Help people affected by Hurricane Florence by visiting RedCross.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS or texting the word FLORENCE to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

Up-to-date information about how the Red Cross is responding to Hurricane Florence is available at RedCross.org.

Ellis has been with the Surprise Fire-Medical Department for 18 years and has managed its communications program for four years, the latter through which he implemented “company ID programming, portable/position IDs, call notification tone and all annual PMs, repairs and updates.”

“Throughout his career, (Ellis) has actively participated in many things to make the organization a better place,” Lozano read. “In many ways, Engineer Ellis goes above and beyond the call of duty. He continues to actively serve on the Wildland Team. He spends thankless hours behind the scenes managing the Wildland Cache, keeping tools and gear in a ready state. He has mentored many past and present members to understand SAFE wildland tactics. As many would agree that brush fires are not one of the most ambitious calls for assistance, he is always passionate and willing to share his experience with one and all.”

The Surprise Fire-Medical Department also pointed to his professionalism and communication abilities while on call and dealing with patients.

“No matter the time of day or the number of calls we’ve run during the shift,” Lozano read, “he treats each patient with high regard and respect.”

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

SMITH’S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Suicide Prevention Month Editor:

National Suicide Prevention week was recently. Did you know nationally on average one out of four persons in the past year has dealt with a diagnosable mental illness? Behavioral health is just as important at physical health and the word is slowly getting out there. In the past, behavioral (mental) health was something that was not spoken of and if it was, there was a negative connotation linked to it. In reality, behavioral health is just as important, and some may say even more important, than physical health. When someone is struggling behaviorally, they may be less involved in their normal activities, they may spend more time alone, may have lost or gained weight, may be drinking more alcohol than usual, and can appear sad, angry or burdened.

Are you or someone you care about experiencing these feelings? If so, talk to someone who has time to listen. Consider seeking professional help from a licensed counselor who can help identify your concerns and talk through possible solutions. Sometimes people need a friend or family member to help them get connected. If you are a student, talk to staff at your school (elementary/high schools and colleges all have professionals you can talk to confidentially).

There is help and you do not need to feel alone. Treatment is available and you deserve to feel better.

Colleges need a change Editor:

Maricopa County Community Colleges need change. Maricopa Community Colleges need Stan Arterberry on the governing board.

As a District 4 candidate, Stan will represent Glendale and Estrella

Mountain Community Colleges on the board. District 4 includes Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Sun City, Sun City West, Surprise, Wickenburg and Youngtown.

When you talk to Stan, you quickly see his passion for education and helping students. Stan worked in higher education for over 35 years. He cares about helping students achieve their dreams. Stan has been in their shoes, starting as a student athlete at a community college. He went on to earn degrees, taught college, and eventually became the CEO of a community college in California.

Stan retired full time to Arizona several years ago. After a lifetime of service to community colleges and higher education, he is ready for the next step.

Stan is running for the Maricopa Community Colleges governing board. He is a natural fit; he knows higher education from the ground up.

As a governing board member, Stan will work to provide our students with access to affordable, high-quality education. A true public steward, Stan believes in fiscal responsibility and ensuring district funds provide for students first, while maintaining sustainability.

Stan believes strong relationships with the communities surrounding Maricopa colleges benefit everyone.

Our community colleges train and provide skilled workers to the community.

Everyone wins.

Please vote for Stan Arterberry for Maricopa Community Colleges governing board.

Word limit

Editor: It was painful to read the middle-ofthe-road approach by Dennis Wood on the state of our political parties. He tried to paint a conciliatory picture in an attempt to subliminally convince us that reaching across the aisle is all that is needed to “just get along.”

However, reading between the lines, our political problems are all the fault of conservatism. This lengthy piece of rambling could have been reduced with the use of Webster’s Dictionary or Roget’s Thesaurus. On top of it, it sounds like a Kyrsten Sine-

ma commercial: “I’m in everyone’s camp, so vote for me.” Rubbish!

Please go back to the 250 word limit.

It’ll save you paper and our sanity.

Support Ducey

Editor: Law enforcement officers put their lives on the line daily to keep the West Valley safe. The Arizona Fraternal Order of Police represents more than 9,000 members across Arizona, working to improve the safety of the public and the men and women on the frontlines.

This election, Arizonans face a clear choice when it comes to the future of law enforcement in Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Tolleson and statewide. Gov. Doug Ducey has been a strong ally of law enforcement and a strong force for protecting families. Gov. Ducey will continue to make Arizona a safer place to live.

David Garcia, Ducey’s Democrat opponent, has voiced proposals that would make our mission to protect you more difficult. Garcia and his team have indicated support for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and removing National Guard troops deployed along the border. Should such ill-conceived proposals become reality, Arizona would be a less safe place to live and do business.

While Gov. Ducey was standing up for law enforcement, David Garcia’s social

media director was making vulgar, anti-police social media posts that cannot be repeated in a family newspaper.

Keeping Arizona safe is a team effort.

From the streets to the dedicated professionals appointed by Gov. Ducey to lead public safety statewide, we need to double down on keeping communities safe, not roll back efforts to secure our border and our neighborhoods.

This election offers a clear choice.

The law enforcement professionals of the Fraternal Order of Police strongly support Doug Ducey for governor. We can think of no better person to continue leading our state and to ensure that we can keep your family safe.

Patience should prevail in Kavanaugh-Blasey case

By David Leibowitz

A story bubbles forth from the past, from 36 years ago. The details are hazy, yet the details mean absolutely everything. On one side stands the accuser, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, a research psychologist who says she was sexually assaulted at a high school party in 1982. On the other side, you have a career jurist, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, nominated by the president to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Judge Kavanaugh forcefully denies having sexually assaulted Dr. Blasey.

In a statement released September 17, he calls the accusation against him “a completely false allegation. I have never done anything like what the accuser describes – to her or to anyone.”

Behind each person, accuser and accused, huge swaths of the country have amassed. Mostly Americans have queued up by gender, political affiliation or a combination of the two.

Woman after woman, Democrat after Democrat, have demanded that Dr. Blasey be believed and that Kavanaugh’s nomination be withdrawn or defeated. Opposed stands multitudes

Arizonans are better off now

By Rep. Debbie Lesko

Our economy is booming, our military is stronger, health plans are creating more freedom and choice, and our communities are safer. Republican-led tax reform, reduced regulation, and progrowth policies have created an economic environment where businesses and workers are thriving. Increased spending on the military, including a troop pay raise, is strengthening our military and national defense. Healthcare legislation is giving patients more freedom and choice and a stronger border, opioid and school safety legislation will keep our communities safer.

Arizonans are better off now.

Unfortunately, Nancy Pelosi and many House Democrats want to reverse the progress we have made. I have a long track record of working across the aisle with both Republicans and Democrats to get things done. There are many areas where we agree, but when it comes to the economy, health care, national defense and securing our borders, Republican policies are showing proven results.

In August, I met with businesses and employees throughout our district. Because of the Republican-led Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, businesses were able to raise wages, provide bonuses and hire more workers. Plus, individual tax cuts in the legislation will save the average CD8 household $1,200-$2,600/year in taxes. Not one single House or Senate Democrat voted for this legislation, and if the Democrats take back the majority, they will work to undue the legislation and take these benefits away.

The Republican-led Congress has also been making significant investments to make sure Americans are safe at home and abroad. Increased resources for the military, border security, school safety and the opioid epidemic are making our communities safer.

Arizonans know how badly we need to secure the border. My legislation, H.R.6400 to better secure our ports of entry, recently passed out of the House.

Unfortunately, many Democrat members of the House are pushing for open borders.

House Republicans have also passed

Let the Ghoul Times Roll

legislation to improve healthcare options, repeal burdensome mandates, and increase choices in the insurance marketplace. In Arizona, the effects of Obamacare have dramatically increased costs and limited choice. Many Democrats are now pushing for government-run “Medicare for All,” which will take away freedom in our healthcare decisions and is estimated to cost $33 trillion and would require raising taxes by 10.7 percent by 2022.

Arizonans are hard workers and are reaping the benefits of a surging economy after years of stagnation. The Better Way agenda created by House Republicans has made notable improvements to people’s lives with a booming economy, stronger military, better healthcare choices and safer communities, which is why we are Better Off Now. We cannot let this good work be undone by extremist policies that are out of touch with Arizonans and the vast majority of Americans.

Business Briefcase

By Connor Dziawura

Greetings and salutations, readers!

For the most part, I’m going to be sticking in Buckeye today, though a major entertainment facility is open in Glendale – something many residents across the West Valley may have been anticipating.

As far as Buckeye, I have two main intersections to discuss. I will mention the planned Fry’s Marketplace and Aldi, as well as additional businesses that will surround them. So, here’s the news!

First, as I alluded to, Topgolf opened Friday, September 14, in Glendale, and 450,000 annual visitors are expected to flock to the 61,000-square-foot, threelevel entertainment venue, which has hired more than 500 associates in fulland part-time positions.

This fall, the new West Valley Topgolf will have a DJ spinning tunes every Friday night, while guests can enjoy new menu items, weekend brunch and other special events, or view significant football games in the main bar. As far as the facility’s titular sport itself, microchipped golf balls allow customers to instantly score games and view results on television screens. In addition to private event space, Topgolf holds leagues, tournaments and much more.

For more information, visit topgolf. com/glendale or find it on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This is the company’s fourth Arizona location; 47th overall. The new Topgolf is at 6101 N. 99th Avenue.

Now, I’ll move along to Village Grove at Verrado, at the northwest corner of Jackrabbit Trail and Indian School Road in Buckeye. Village Grove Dental Care opened at 4120 N. 197th Lane in August. For more information, visit villagegrovedentalcare.com.

Howard Grace, president and CEO of developer W.M. Grace Companies, said a Burger King should start construction soon and other tenants are in the works, though he didn’t give more specific information. As of print time, representatives for Burger King have not responded to the West Valley View’s requests for more information.

As for the long-awaited Fry’s Marketplace, there isn’t much new info. Neither Grace nor David Roderique, Buckeye’s economic development director, had definitive information on construction,

A new Topgolf is open in Glendale. (Photo courtesy Christopher Cashak)

though Roderique hopes for a late 2018-early 2019 start. Pam Giannotti, a spokeswoman for Fry’s in Arizona, could only confirm the location is still planned, as she had no additional details about its timeline.

Details I had reported in past Business Briefcase editions, provided by Buckeye spokeswoman Annie DeChance, were that the grocer’s parent company, Kroger, delayed production on new stores that were not yet vertical to evaluate the changing grocery industry.

As of those past reports, Kroger’s plans were to complete the store in late 2019, DeChance said. There is no word on if that is still the timeline.

As for Sundance Marketplace, at the southeast corner of Watson and Yuma roads in Buckeye, no updates are available for Aldi, though Planet Fitness is under construction, with progress on Quick Quack Car Wash and another Burger King set to begin soon. When reached for comment, Aldi provided the following statement to the West Valley View: “Aldi has more than 1,800 stores in 35 states and is one of the fastest-growing retailers in the U.S. The company is charting an aggressive course to reach 2,500 stores by the end of 2022 and is currently exploring opportunities in Arizona as well as several other markets. At this time, we don’t have specific information about expansion areas or potential store locations, but we look forward to sharing news as plans are solidified.”

As I mentioned earlier in this column, representatives for Burger King have not responded to the West Valley View’s request for comment, though Steve Lenz, a development

partner at Frontera Development, which is the developer for Sundance Marketplace, said the fast-food chain is a client of his company’s and should begin construction in September.

He also said Planet Fitness’ parcel is under construction, and should be turned over to the company for interior tenant improvements by midNovember. A June press release from

Planet Fitness I had previously reported on said the company anticipates an early 2019 opening at 1341 S. Watson Road.

As for Quick Quack Car Wash, Lenz said the company should begin construction within the next month.

He anticipates all three businesses – Burger King, Planet Fitness and Quick Quack Car Wash – to open in the first quarter of 2019.

One remaining approximately 2.2acre parcel is available, allowing for a tenant of up to 15,000 square feet, Lenz said. Site work and infrastructure is complete at Sundance Marketplace, though some additional landscaping remains, Lenz said. Frontera Building Company is the general contractor for the project.

That’s all the briefs for this week!

But don’t fret. There’s plenty more where that came from. Stay tuned, and thanks for reading!

Odyssey football off to best start in program history

By Eric Newman

The Odyssey Institute for Advanced and International Studies football team boasted the only undefeated, 4-0 record through the first month of the 3A football season, despite small numbers and middling expectations.

This early success by the Minotaurs to start the year has surprised many around the state, including many of the players.

“I really didn’t know what to expect from us this year, because I didn’t know what our roster would look like,” said lineman Nick Arnold, one of just five seniors on Odyssey’s squad. “We didn’t always have a lot of guys showing up in the offseason, and there are so many young players that we weren’t sure how they would do.”

Seniors like Arnold are the first class of Minotaurs who have played four full seasons with the football program, which began in 2014. It didn’t play a full schedule of games until the next season.

The coaching staff has overturned each of the last four years, but the current regime under coach Jon Castellanos proved impressive once the season

came closer.

“This is definitely the best team we’ve had in the four years here, said senior John Pina. “We have some good young players, and the coaches are great and have gotten us all really well-conditioned.”

With just over 30 players on the roster, nearly every starter plays offense and defense – even special teams for many – for Odyssey, something Castellanos has not had to do for other programs he has coached.

“I don’t want to have to do it like that, because that’s how kids get injured or burned out, but with our numbers we kind of have to. They’ve taken it in stride,” he said.

It behooves the Minotaurs, then, to take time off the clock with their running game, headed by junior Chris Weaver, and limit the amount of times the players transition from one side of the ball to the other.

Through four games, Weaver was leaps and bounds ahead of any 3A running back with 1,004 rushing yards, tacking on nine touchdowns.

Castellanos has advised plenty of

quality players in his coaching career, including a long stint in California. He said he sees high-level college football potential from his starting back, not just because of pure athleticism.

“Weaver doesn’t have that same sort of crazy speed you see from some other guys,” he said.

“Don’t get me wrong he is fast still, but his biggest strength is just reading the de- Odyssey Institute junior Chris Weaver led 3A in rushing through games with over 1,000 yards.

Female kicker provides support for Agua Fria football

By Griffin Fabits

How’s Natalie Steinman gearing up for her last season of varsity soccer at Agua Fria High School?

Like most girls her age, staying busy in the down months before the school season by playing on a club team, with practices during the week and games nearly every weekend.

But this fall, Steinman’s added a unique wrinkle to her senior year preparation: She’s kicking field goals for the Owls’ varsity football team on Friday nights.

She is a soccer player by trade – on varsity soccer since her freshman year – and was approached by football player friends last year. Their request was simple: Come play football for our senior year.

Steinman was all for it. “(Agua Fria) was doing this club and sports night for incoming freshmen and I went up to the football coach and I showed him a video (kicking) from soccer and he said, ‘Oh, if you can do that with a football, you could totally come out and kick for us,’” she recalled.

Head coach George Martinez said

the Owls didn’t necessarily need an extra kicker. The team had two, but Martinez granted Steinman’s ambition of playing football her senior year.

“Last week, we had a win over Sierra Linda and she was 2-for-2 in extra-points,” Martinez said. “She’s there every day, works hard, and it’s just one of those, fulfilling a dream and the high school experience of being a kicker on the boys’ football team.”

Steinman’s attempted three extra-point kicks this season after the Owls score a touchdown. One was blocked and the other two were good.

She had butterflies each time.

“It was so nerve wracking,” she said of her first attempted kick. “(Coach) was like, ‘Nat, warm up,’ and literally my heart froze and my whole body went numb. I got out there and put the tee down, and stood up and looked at the field goal and I forgot what to do next.”

She’s gotten into a routine of football practices and studying game films with her teammates, but the recognition at school has taken some getting used to.

The reception around school has been positive, and Steinman said she’s yet

to have any sort of interaction with opposing players.

“Our first game, we wore our jerseys to school. I walked into my first hour and I had a girl ask me: ‘Whose football jersey is that?’ And I was like, ‘Oh, it’s mine.’ And she’s like, ‘You’re on the team?’ I’m still getting people to this day asking me: ‘You’re on the team?’ It’s funny.”

Her first game, a referee stopped her and asked if she was on the team. Steinman nodded, adding that she was a kicker.

Steinman, who has a weighted 4.5 GPA and unweighted 3.9 GPA, is expected to be named captain of the girls’ soccer team in a few months. When she graduates in May, she hopes Fria football kicker Natalie Steinman practices to play college soccer. But for Agua her kicks.

Costly Joint-Pain Injections Replaced By New $2 Pill

Paid Advertisement

New pill boosts the same lubricating joint ϐluid as expensive and painful injections - without using a needle.

Users report dramatic relief from swelling, pain and stiffness without side effects and expense.

Health News Syndicate HNS— A popular needle injection for people with joint pain is now available in an inexpensive nonprescription pill.

The breakthrough came when researchers discovered a way to deliver the injected “relief molecule” through the digestive system.

Top US clinics have used these needle injections for years because they deliver powerful relief. Unfortunately, the shots are painful and expensive. They also only work on the joint being treated.

The new pill, called Synovia, delivers the same “relief molecule” as the injections.

However, it has some impressive advantages. First, it’s inexpensive and nonprescription. Also, relief is delivered to every joint in the body because it enters the bloodstream through the digestive system.

This gives it the ability to reduce a much wider variety of pain.

Users report greater �lexibility and less stiffness in their knees.

Hands and shoulders move painfree for the �irst time in years.

Even neck and lower back pain improve dramatically.

All this without spending over $600 on needle injections and taking trips to the doctor every week.

The medical community is very excited about this new breakthrough. Dr. Jacob Moss says, “Synovia is a great option for those suffering from joint pain.

Injections are usually a last resort One example is a landmark because of the pain and expense. study out of Europe.

Tolleson siblings passing on knowledge in hometown

By Audrey Hernandez

The Salcido siblings Michelle, Catalina and Isaac are giving back to Tolleson by teaching in the very district that educated them, the Tolleson Union High School District.

Michelle has taught English at La Joya Community High School since 2013, and Catalina, whose last name is now Teklemariam, is in her third year as an instructional aide for special education students at Tolleson Union High School. A firstyear teacher, Isaac works in alternative education at Lighthouse Academy.

“I just believe in the kids in this area, knowing what they can do and trying to make them believe they can do it,” Teklemariam said.

Teklemariam and Michelle, the latter of whom was the 1998 valedictorian at TUHS, have lived elsewhere, but they feel at home in Tolleson.

“We could, of course, be working in other places, and we have lived in other states, but we came back,” Teklemariam said. “I feel like if we’re going to be working anywhere, we’ll work at Tolleson because this is a part of us.”

The siblings spoke to the West Valley View in TUHS’ Mickey Diaz room, named after the Wolverine-Knight Foundation founder and Tolleson Service Committee member. Diaz is a relative.

“She’s part of our extended family,” Isaac said. “She’s our grandma’s broth-

er’s daughter. She stayed right up the block. She watched us from time to time to help our mom out.”

The trio has other family members who work in education. Their father is the director of Gila River’s Headstart School and their mother was an instructional aide at Tolleson Union High School. Their younger sister works at Legacy Traditional School. University High School’s counselor, Brigitte Ochoa, is Isaac’s fiancée.

Teklemariam, Michelle and Isaac agree their high school teachers influenced their decision to pursue careers in education.

“Definitely, my teachers have impacted me to be an educator,” Michelle said. “Teachers like Mrs. Haskins, who was my history teacher when I was here at Tolleson, and the principal at University High, Mrs. Thompson.”

Teklemariam added, “I appreciate teachers like Ms. Brown and Ms. Chernyshova. She has been here since I was in school. She wasn’t my teacher, but I know she was there when I was going to school and she’s still a teacher now and looks the same after all these years.

“I respect teachers like Ms. Briggs and Mrs. Thompson who are invested and are really there for their students as opposed to others who come for a minute and leave.”

Isaac’s coach inspired him to return to the community.

“Coach Ramiro Quezada is the one who made me want to come back and coach wrestling,” he said. “It was the coach’s style and the way he worked with the wrestlers that made it something I wanted to get back to.”

Isaac is passionate about helping kids and making sure students maximize their high school experience.

“Another thing I noticed growing up was some of my peers were dropping out of sports or dropped out of school or weren’t given opportunities to live up to some of the qualities they had,” Isaac said.

“I wanted to come back to make sure students coming up are given those opportunities to reach their full potential. It’s not that they’re not doing well today, but I want to give them opportunities, so they can experience high

school in a different way.”

At home, the siblings are close and get together frequently.

“I think the girls more so,” Isaac said. “They have their tea parties and they watch Anne of Green Gables.”

Michelle added, “He is always invited, of course, and he cooks for us and invites us every week.”

Michelle and Teklemariam agree Isaac makes the best shrimp tacos. He is the two-time taco-eating champion in the family.

The Salcido siblings are enthusiastic about staying and retiring in Tolleson.

“This is our family,” Michelle said.

“Our mom lives practically across the street. Our aunt lives down here. Our dad lives not far away, so we’re not going anywhere.”

Teacup boba shop opens in Litchfield Park The business aims to please families.

In fact, the five tapioca balls in the logo represent the members of the owners’ family.

“We’re all family here,” Tammy shared. “I love getting to connect with my customers because you never know who is going to come through that door. Maybe a person had a bad day or lost a family member. It’s our goal to treat our customers like old friends because we’re not just selling a cup of tea but our friendship, too.”

The Nguyen family hopes someday their small shop will grow into something larger.

“My parents have a dream of expanding and one day turning the shop into a franchise, but for right now, we enjoy having the mom-and-pop-shoptype-of-feel.”

By Aliyah Chavez

A new boba shop, Teacup: Milk Tea and Coffee, has opened its doors, bringing with it years of family business experience and a new space in Litchfield Park for guests to indulge in a sweet treat.

Teacup is owned by married entrepreneur duo Kathy and Steven Nguyen, who also helm Cute-icle and Pretty Nails and Spa in the West Valley.

Teacup is managed by their daughter, Tammy Nguyen.

“It was our family’s dream to open a boba and coffee shop, so it worked out perfectly,” Tammy said.

Boba, also known as bubble tea, originated in Taiwan in the late 1980s.

The drink is often comprised of small tapioca balls the size of marbles, or “pearls” as boba enthusiasts know, mixed with practically any flavor of milk or tea. Teacup uses the same practices coined in Taiwan and adds an Arizona twist.

“We use boba that is infused honey from a farm in Tolleson,” Tammy said.

Additionally, Teacup buys coffee from Press, a Phoenix-owned coffee company. Teacup uses pure cane

sugar in its drinks to aid people with stomach allergies to artificial sweeteners.

Buckeye teen making sweet music with the sax

By Srianthi Perera

At 17, Tom Cooke of Buckeye already defines his life with music.

“I feel music is the only way that I’ll be able to find in this world to really express how I feel,” said the senior at Odyssey Institute in Buckeye, who has studied – and played – jazz on his saxophone for eight years.

“It’s kind of the only thing that has really taken my whole being and made it more than what I am... I feel that music is kind of a way that instead of hearing my mouth speak, you can hear my soul speak,” he added.

Cooke was in the middle of a summer scholarship at Berklee College of Music in Boston when he learned he is one of six recipients at the Phoenix Conservatory of Music to receive admission to a national master class organized by the college.

Along with Zachary Killmer of Chandler, Diego Gonzalez of Tempe, Arsen Nalbandian and Willem Soekrasno of Phoenix and Lourde Childs of Peoria, Cooke will participate in the Berklee City Music Summit from November 4 to November 7 in Nashville in the jazz ensemble. (Although the college is based in Boson, it holds its music summit in a different state each year.)

Cooke put in several hours each day

for one month to apply for the honor.

“There was a ton of work that went into it,” he said. “We had to prepare the pieces, send videos, do auditions. It was a very gratifying and humbling experience to know that after all the hard work that I put into it, I was chosen.”

Berklee College, ranked only second to the Juilliard School of Music in New York and the largest independent contemporary music school in the world, had opened the auditions to its 47 sites in the Americas. About 40 auditioned from across the Unites States and Cooke was one of 21 chosen to be in one of three ensembles: jazz, R&B and funk fusion.

The Phoenix Conservatory of Music is Berklee’s only site in Arizona.

“It’s very competitive, and the students are at an exceptionally high level of playing,” said Regina Nixon, executive director of the conservatory. “It’s a fantastic opportunity because he’s going to play with people from around the country that he’s never played with before and the coach for the experience will be a very high-level coach.”

Cooke doesn’t know what to expect in the master class. “…but I know that it’s going to be one of the greatest experiences that I’ll have.”

Nixon, who has been attending the summit for the past eight years, said that it’s centered in creative youth develop-

ment and is “life-changing” for the students.

“When we come together as a network of sites that truly believe in music as a catalyst to help young people achieve their full potential, it’s very celebratory; it’s very student-driven,” she said. “So, we listen to the young people, they’re involved in the planning, they are involved in the panel, they’re very much a part of what’s happening. It’s really a celebration of youth and what they have to give to the world and their use of music and arts as a way to change their life.”

“In our program, you can get those young people who are from all over the Valley and they come together and the work that they do is honestly quite magical,” Nixon said.

While the conservatory offers the chance to meet peers, participation in programs such as the music summit in Nashville ups the ante quite more.

During his summer program in Boston, Cooke met teens from different cultures, such as China and Korea.

“It was a very interesting experience because the way they view life is so different, but music remains a constant thing,” he said. “It reinforces my belief that music is the ultimate form of communication.”

PUBLIC NOTICE

NOTICE TO READERS: Most service advertisers have an ROC# or "Not a licensed contractor" in their ad, this is in accordance to the AZ state law.

Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC): The advertising requirements of the statute does not prevent anyone from placing an ad in the yellow pages, on business cards, or on flyers.

What it does require under A.R.S. §32-1121A14(c) www.azleg.gov/ars/ 32/01165.htm is that the advertising party, if not properly licensed as a contractor, disclose that fact on any form of advertising to the public by including the words "not a licensed contractor" in the advertisement.

Again, this requirement is intended to make sure that the consumer is made aware of the unlicensed status of the individual or company.

Contractors who advertise and do not disclose their unlicensed status are not eligible for the handyman's exception.

Reference: http://www.azroc.gov/invest/licensed_by_law.html As a consumer, being aware of the law is for your protection. You can check a business's ROC status at: http://www.azroc.gov/
