Phoenix Trotting Park demolished

By Casey Pritchard

A West Valley landmark has been reduced to rubble.

The Phoenix Trotting Park harness racing track in Goodyear was torn down last week, and now sits as a pile of concrete and rebar at the interchange of I-10 and Loop 303.

The track, which was built in 1964 and used for a little more than two years, has sat vacant since, but is seen as an iconic building by many Phoenicians, especially residents of the West Valley. Driving back from California, it was an indicator that you were almost to Phoenix.

“I’ve seen it going on the I-10 for years, and now it’s going to be gone,” Randy Bowland, 43, of Surprise said. “That’s the biggest thing everybody says, you’re almost home. It’s just different.”

Trotting Park was demolished for safety reasons, said Chaz Smith, senior vice president of Colliers International, which represents the Roles family and Citrus Commerce Centre LLC, the owners of the property. Recent news reports about Trotting Park have brought a lot of focus to it, Smith said.

“There has been a lot of trespassing on the property, active trespassing, and the numbers are pretty staggering,” Smith said.

“It has become an issue. I guess you could sit back and wait for it to die down. A year from now maybe people won’t be going out there on the property, but it’s doubtful.”

Mary Beck, 26, of Goodyear knows people who have trespassed on the property. When she was a student at Desert Edge High School, there was a ghost

hunting club that explored Trotting Park.

A friend of hers was injured during a visit.

“One of my friends fell down the elevator shaft,” Beck said. “She broke her arm and lost her shoes … it’s always been something kids come and (do), of course

on in our world today.”

So a year ago, the now-Goodyear resident founded Meals of Joy, a Litchfield Park-based food delivery service that stresses the importance of seniors and nutrition. It services the West Valley only.

“Seniors are out there struggling. It doesn’t matter where you live,” said Cervarich, 78. “We’re supposed to be a rich state. People come down here to retire. Things change when someone loses their spouse, or there’s a financial crisis.”

To help raise money for the organization, Meals of Joy is hosting the Party of Joy

Masquerade Gala on Saturday, October 14, at the Wigwam. It starts at 6 p.m. with a cocktail reception, with dinner following at 7 p.m. Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord and businessman Don Mellon will be honored for their “tremendous impact on the community.” The event is black-tie optional, with prizes awarded for the best mask.”

“The event is one of our biggest of the year that keeps us really moving forward,” said Cervarich, whose charity doesn’t

Meals of Joy stresses senior nutrition

Larry Cervarich was on a meal delivery route in Oregon when he was asked to give the client her food. Cervarich agreed.

He walked to the porch, and the woman slowly opened the door. What Cervarich saw was horrifying.

“There’s a lady, who’s probably 80,” he said. “The house was really dark.

The shades were pulled. She looked so lonesome. She reached through the door and said, ‘Thank you,’ and shut the door.

“I stood there and I started to have tears in my eyes. The guy said, ‘It got to you, didn’t it?’ I couldn’t believe this was going

Buckeye police enhance training after incident

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 4, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Police Chief Larry Hall said he wishes a July incident with an autistic teen would have had a “different outcome” and disputed claims that his department doesn’t care about people with disabilities.

In an interview with the West Valley View, Hall said the Buckeye Police Department enhanced training in August after the widely reported incident in Verrado.

“We want to avoid something like this from happening in the future,” Hall said.

“We’ll be better for it. We’re going to continue to train our officers so we can be better at identifying those things.”

According to Hall, officer David Grossman, a state-certified trainer in drug-use recognition, observed 14-year-old Connor Leibel alone in a park, moving his hand to his face.

It appeared that Leibel was inhaling.

Grossman asked Leibel what he was doing and, after a short conversation, the teen walked away from the officer.

“Within 20 seconds of contact, Connor goes to run from the officer,” Hall said. “The officer holds onto him and they fall to the ground. There’s no escalation of force at that point.”

The teen brushed against a tree, and sustained cuts to his back and arm. As the two were lying on the ground, the teen’s caretaker arrived and described Leibel is autistic.

When a second Buckeye officer arrived, the teenager was released and

allowed to sit next to his caretaker. Hall said Grossman’s tone softened and he had a “good connection” with the caretaker.

“There’s a lot of misinformation going out through social media,” Hall said. “It’s even gone as far as him being shot. In that specific case, Connor wasn’t even handcuffed.”

Hall said the department has taken steps to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. He and his staff are the lead for the West Valley Crisis Intervention Coalition, which trains officers on how to handle individuals in crisis, thanks to a recent grant. Hall added that the Autism Society of Greater Phoenix has offered to aid in training.

“We can do a better job in dealing with people with disabilities in the community,” Hall added about police organizations as a whole. “It’s our responsibility, as holders of the grant, to make sure other agencies benefit from this and the training. We understand how important that is. There’s a narrative out there that we don’t care about people with disabilities. That’s simply not true. It’s not accurate.”

Hall explained that there are hundreds of behavioral and psychological disorders, some of which mirror drug usage.

“In this case, the officer’s knowledge and experience dictated to him that this individual could be using inhalants. As he makes contact, we have the right and the responsibility to investigate further and make a determination to either

release or take other enforcement action.”

The Buckeye Police Department is in the process of implementing a voluntary registry of persons who suffer crises so officers will be familiar with folks they come across. This is directed toward those suffering from PTSD, dementia, Alzheimer’s or mental health issues.

Police Chief Larry Hall said the incident with an It would only be used Buckeye autistic teenager is part of a larger issue, not just a “terrible within the department, illustration of what can happen.” (Photo courtesy Buckeye Police and the public would not Department) have access to it.

“The officers do their best with the “It’s a voluntary information that they have and the registry for anyone who wants to be involved in this,” Hall said. “It’s not experience that they have,” he said. required.

Avondale-based Homeless Youth Connection will host its annual breakfast on Thursday, October 26, to further meet the needs of homeless children.

The organization’s executive director, Dawn Bogart, said she hopes the free breakfast will attract those who are interested in making sure youth succeed, along with community partners, members from various churches and service organizations who believe in its mission, as well as businesses looking for volunteer opportunities for their employees.

The breakfast not only highlights HYC’s services, but explains how the community can use the AZ Charitable

education, keeping many of them from completing high school or achieving post-secondary education. HYC is a preventive measure to these barriers.

When you take away the worry about basic needs, homeless youth can thrive, graduate and succeed. As we succeed, we can have an impact on breaking the cycles of chronic homelessness.”

Goodyear City Hall is bathed in purple light to raise domestic violence awareness. (Photo courtesy City of Goodyear)

By West Valley View staff In support of the statewide Lighting Arizona Purple initiative to raise domestic violence awareness, the city of Goodyear will light City Hall, the Goodyear Branch Library and the police operations building purple this month.

Mayor Georgia Lord proclaimed October Domestic Violence Awareness Month at the October 2 City Council meeting.

Each year, the nation observes Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. The observance dates back to 1989 when the passage of Public Law 101-112 by the U.S. Congress officially designated October as National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. It called upon U.S. residents to become more aware of the tragedy of domestic violence, support those who are working to end domestic violence, and participate in other meaningful ways.

To support people affected by domestic violence, the city makes available grant funding to various agencies providing support and emergency services to Goodyear residents in need.

Anybody fearing for his or her immediate safety or the safety of a loved one should call 9-1-1. To access help for domestic violence, contact: • Goodyear Police Department Crisis Services Unit, 623-882-7677, goodyearaz.gov/police • Arizona Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 602-279-2900 or 1-800-782-6400, acesdv.org • MAG Regional Domestic Violence Council, 602-263-8900, azmag.gov/Programs/DomesticViolence • National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, 1-800-799-SAFE (7233), ncadv.org • New Life Center, 623-932-4404, newlifectr.org.

The Lighting Arizona Purple campaign was developed by the Governor’s Commission to Prevent Violence Against Women, and the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family, to raise statewide awareness of domestic violence and provide important information to assist victims in locating help and resources.

It will take approximately three months to move the estimated 20,000 tons of rubble away from the site. Until that is finished, there are no plans to do anything with the property.

“We’ll meet with the family after everything has been taken down and cleaned up, then determine where we’re going to go with it from there,” Smith said. “There is nothing imminent other than the fact that it’s being taken down.”

Until that happens, there is only speculation as to what will happen with the property. Beck said she’d like the space to be used to build something for kids, like a waterpark, while Bowland is hopeful it will generate more business in Goodyear. That’s his secondary preference, though.

“I really wish somebody could have done something with it instead of just tearing it down,” he said. “It used to be a beautiful piece of architecture. For its time, it was state of the art. It’s kind of sad to see it go.”

Machuca said he plans to post his pictures online.

Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord issued a statement about the property.

“The trotter track was certainly an iconic landmark for many years, but we are grateful for the investment by Citrus Commerce Centre LLC, and are eager to see how that land will be developed in the near future,” Lord said.

Only time will tell what happens to the land where Trotting Park stood, but one thing is for sure: t will be missed by many.

“It’s a landmark,” Machuca said. “I just noticed it being demolished, so it was like, let’s go look at the building.

“Ninety-five percent of the funds go to the meal program,” he said. “We don’t have a whole lot of overhead. We want to give them a decent meal that they enjoy.”

Meals of Joy has support from Abrazo West and Sun Health at Home, said Cervarich, who also runs Homeless Youth Connection. Meals of Joy serves the 55 and older community and clients do not need to have medical or financial difficulties.

“We’re getting calls from seniors saying they’re tired and they don’t want to cook anymore,” he said. “They’re losing interest in their daily cooking habits.”

Meals of Joy also doesn’t pressure seniors to keep participating. There are no set-up or application fees. All staff asks for is the next of kin, in case a delivery driver sees something wrong.

Colored menus are sent out a month ahead so clients can choose what they want. Cervarich said the only complaint he’s received is that Meals of Joy provides too much food.

“We absolutely do not send any meal that’s frozen,” he added. “At 8 or 9:30 a.m., they arrive at a central office where our volunteers are waiting to deliver immediately.

“In most cases, the meals can’t get any fresher. Some are still warm from being prepared. The containers are microwaveable, though. If they want to freeze them and reheat them later, they can do that.”

Meals run from $11 to $12. The charity will adjust for those who are struggling.

“They can order the meals they would love to eat and not be force fed,” Cervarich said. “The purpose is to choose what they’d like to eat and eat something to get nutrition in their system. If they order one meal in a week that’s one meal they probably wouldn’t have had.”

Cervarich said he’s looking to move the commissary kitchen from Phoenix to the West Valley to better serve his needs. For now, though, he’s focusing on Homeless Youth Connection and Meals of Joy. “What we really want to do is help seniors stay in their own home and not be off to a nursing home,” he said. “We

Buckeye Union bus involved in collision in California

By Connor Dziawura

A school bus carrying 30 Buckeye Union High School volleyball players and three coaches was involved in a collision with two semi-trucks at approximately 12:50 p.m. Thursday, September 28, near Needles, California.

Following the crash, nine students reported moderate injuries and were transported to a local hospital. Eight of the students were transported by ambulance, whereas the ninth student was airlifted to a Las Vegas hospital.

All injuries are nonlife-threatening, according to school officials.

The team was heading to a match at Mohave High School in Bullhead City.

At the time of the incident, the bus was stopped at a construction zone

on US-95S, south of Five Mile Road, near Needles. While at the construction zone, a semi-truck rear-ended the bus, pushing it into another semi-truck directly ahead, according to California Highway Patrol.

Colorado River Union High School District helped transport all remaining players and coaches to a local hospital as a precautionary measure, and students returned home later that night.

“The Buckeye Union High School District is very thankful and appreciative of the cooperation and support received from the Colorado River Union High School District, local law enforcement and emergency response personnel,” according to a statement by the district.

Local first responders honored by Raceway Elks

By Israel Gonzalez

Six local law enforcement officers and firefighters were honored at a first responders’ dinner at Raceway Elks Lodge in Avondale on September 23.

The award winners were Avondale Police Officer Manuel Rios; Goodyear Police Detective Bengt Erickson; Surprise Police Officer Tyler Johnson; Avondale Fire Department Capt. Chris Spire; Goodyear Fire Department Engineer Gilbert Aguirre; and Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Sean Horning.

The award winners received a plaque during the lodge’s annual event.

“It gives a thank you to them,” said Elks committee chairman George Maniscalco. “I was a policeman myself, and I was an officer of the year. It’s nice to be recognized. It gives them a little bit of an extra boost. They know they’re out there and people are thinking about them.”

Avondale winners Rios transferred to the Avondale Police Department in 2015 and has

since been a leader.

“Officer Rios was awarded the 2016 Police Officer of the Year for our department,” Avondale Police Department officials said in a written statement about Rios. “He has been recognized by his supervisors and peers as being an outstanding officer.

In barely six months, Officer Rios responded to over 675 calls for service with over 50 arrests.”

Rios trains new officers, posts the department’s social media videos and helps with community events like delivering turkeys during the holiday season.

Spire was also recognized and nominated by Avondale Fire and Medical for his work.

“Over the last year, Capt. Spire and his crew have been involved (in) multiple emergency incidents where their training and skills were put to the test resulting in positive patient outcomes,” said Fire Chief Aaron Glass in a written award statement

about Spire.

“One particular patient was hit by a train and suffered multi-system traumatic injuries as a result. Thanks to Capt. Spire and his crew’s efforts, the patient’s life was saved and he is expected to make a full recovery.”

Spire has contributed to various trainings, has researched technical rescue equipment and created a field operations guide for Paratech shoring and stabilization equipment, Glass said.

Erickson was chosen as the Goodyear Police Department honoree for his work with sensitive cases.

“Detective Erickson has been in the Person Crimes Unit for one year,” Goodyear Police Department officials wrote in their award statement. “In that short amount of time, he has made a lasting impression on the department and the public due to his ability to successfully work highly complicated and sensitive cases.”

Erickson found and stopped an abusive sexual relationship between a juvenile foreign exchange student from Sweden and an adult. In 2016, a child was molested by her adult cousin and Erickson managed to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, to confront the suspect and secure a confession, Goodyear

Police said.

On the firefighters’ side, Aguirre was honored for his work and resilience with the Goodyear Fire Department.

“Resilience and the ability to overcome adversity is a positive trait in a human being,” Maniscalco said, reading from the Goodyear Fire Department’s award statement. “In a firefighter, it’s an absolute necessity.

No one embodies this trait in the Goodyear Fire Department the way Robert Aguirre does.”

Aguirre was diagnosed with leukemia two years ago, and not only had to fight with cancer, but with insurance companies that were unwilling to pay.

“Taking his father’s lesson, ‘todo bien,’ and to never quit, he decided to take cancer head on,” Maniscalco said.

“He sat down with his wife and three sons and told them his diagnosis. He also told them that the doctors there said there’s a chance he would die, but he assured them that dad was going to fight it and beat it.”

Today, Aguirre is healthy and back in full duty. He continues to advocate on behalf of firefighters and their cancer treatment.

Avondale’s bond rating is AAA Faith and Community Roundtable creates forum for cooperation

By West Valley View staff

The city of Avondale received official notification that Fitch Ratings (Fitch) has assigned a AAA rating to the city’s $20.8 million general obligation refunding bond series 2017s, the highest rating possible. Fitch has also assigned the city a AA Issuer Default Rating (IDR).

“This is a very strong credit rating for the city, and will provide favorable interest rates during the upcoming general obligation bond sales (in October),” said Acting Finance & Budget Director Steven Montague.

In its rating letter, Fitch assigned the city a rating outlook of stable. Among the factors stated in the rating letter was the city’s “historically robust operating reserves.”

“The city displayed robust financial resilience through the 2008 housing sector collapse and Great Recession,” the letter stated. “Management responded to the downturn with spending adjustments and judicious use of healthy reserves that helped maintain a sound financial footing through this period.”

“I am extremely proud of this AAA rating from Fitch,” said Mayor Kenn Weise. “I was on the City Council during the recession. The shared sacrifices and hard work of the council, city management and staff ensured that Avondale would emerge stronger when the economy turned around. The city put in place policies and programs to ensure that we would be on solid footing to take advantage of opportunities for growth and development, and the results are evident in our community today.”

The Goodyear Faith and Community Roundtable will host its monthly meeting 8:30 to 10 a.m. Tuesday, October 10, at City Hall, 190 N. Litchfield Road.

The Goodyear Faith and Community Roundtable gives members the chance to volunteer and make an impact in the community. They help connect resources and nonprofit organizations to people in need. This includes providing support for children and their families and job stability.

“The mission of the Goodyear Faith and Community Roundtable is to create a forum for cooperation, trust and respect within the community to nurture goodwill and offer services to all,” said Christina Plante, Goodyear neighborhood services coordinator.

“The meetings include networking and an opportunity for announcements

where participants can celebrate successes or put out an invitation for a referral or call for resources.”

Members discuss their initiatives with the hopes that everyone can help.

During the last meeting, participants talked about the Pebble Creek Men’s Christian Fellowship’s hurricane fundraisers.

The Goodyear Faith and Community Roundtable is open to the people of all faiths. Goodyear faith community leaders and folks with nonprofits are especially encouraged to attend.

“This group is not focused on a particular religion and is open to all faith communities, as well as nonprofit organizations, that seek to nurture goodwill and fulfill unmet needs of the residents of Goodyear,” Plante said.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Try protesting this Editor: For all American ball players/professional sports players, from a veteran.

Take a little trip to Valley Forge in January. Hold a musket ball in your fingers and imagine it piercing your flesh and bones. There won’t be a doctor or trainer to assist you. Then “take a knee.”

Take another trip to the beach at Normandy where man after American man stormed the beach, even as the one in front of him was shot to pieces. The very sea stained with American blood.

The only blockers most had were the dead bodies in front of them. Look at the cemetery, then “take a knee.”

While traveling, think of Vietnam or Korea. This is where real American heroes went. There was no playbook that told them what was next, but they knew what flag they represented. When the Vietnam vets came home, they were protested and spit on for reasons only cowards know.

“Take a knee” in the blood-drenched sands of Fallujah in 110-degree heat.

Wear a Kevlar helmet and battle dress.

Your number won’t be on it, unless your number is up! Stay hydrated, but there won’t be anyone to squirt Gatorade into your mouth.

There are a lot of places to take a knee, Americans have died all over the world. When you use the banner under which they fought as a source for your displeasure, you dishonor the memories of those who bled for the very freedoms you have.

No cheerleaders, no announcers, no coaches, no fans, just American men and women delivering the real fight against those who chose to harm us blazing a path so you would have the right to “take a knee” in any house of worship you choose.

Your protest is duly noted. Not only is it disgraceful to a nation of real heroes, it serves the purpose of pointing to your ingratitude for those who chose to defend you, your rights, your freedom.

If you really feel the need to “take a knee,” come with me to church on Sunday and we will both “take a knee.”

There will be no protest, just an understanding between us and God. This is the land of the free and the home of

the brave.

God bless America.

Teachers work part-time Editor: A couple things to consider about the latest “school override” tax increase.

Teaching is a part-time job. Take a look at the Agua Fria Union High School District’s 2017/2018 calendar. A new teacher works 188 days; current teachers work 185 days. Having half the year off is a very tangible benefit, one that only teachers enjoy. Teachers also enjoy a new twist on the work week called “late start” twice a week now. What teachers don’t make in cash they clearly more than make up for in time off.

Also, our school district maintains a large fleet of buses that maybe half of the students use? How much extra money would the districts have if the school bus service was privatized?

It’s already a traffic nightmare during school drop off and pick up times.

Hundreds of students either don’t live within the bus service area or don’t want to use the bus even though it runs by their house.

The anti-public schools lobby, the tourism lobby, and the teachers’ unions have all helped to doom public education.

Teaching jobs are part-time jobs with full-time pay and benefits. Until that changes, I’ll be voting “no.”

Graham-Cassidy could be the worst health care bill yet Editor: Once again, the GOP is wasting time on another fake health care bill, which would force millions to lose their health care, including many seniors.

It would increase medical costs as people would be forced to use emergency care. Medical providers as well are against it.

However, the real issue is how

does this nation want to treat its people? Recently we have had natural disasters, which have caused havoc in people’s lives. Governors, politicians and the president himself are sounding warnings about saving lives and budgeting federal money to assist, which makes me wonder if people’s lives are important during a disaster?

Why are their day-to-day lives not just as important? And why are the lives of brown-skinned colored people not as important as white-skinned people?

Why are LGBTQ people’s lives not as important as “normal” people? Why are rich people more important than those less wealthy?

People are people. Period. People of all races, colors and creeds have contributed to the success of our nation.

People are our most important asset.

Here in Arizona, the governor and GOP legislature continue to reduce funding for education instead of looking in every nook and cranny to find other sources of money for education.

Our democracy requires healthy and well-educated people. Capitalism requires a well-educated and healthy population. It is not socialism to provide the basic foundations required to continue a strong country. It is the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.

We, the people.

Not in our best interest Editor: Please help get the message out that the Graham-Cassidy bill is wrong for our country. We expect our legislature to protect us, not penalize people for having a disease or aging.

Do farm animals merit our compassion and respect?

Editor: We are a nation of special observances. There is even a World Day for Farm Animals, observed on October 2 (Gandhi’s birthday). Apparently, it’s intended to memorialize the tens of billions of animals abused and killed for food.

Like most others, I always thought of farm animals as “food on the hoof.”

But when a friend sent me an amazing, endearing Facebook video (http://bit. ly/2fKiAem), it dawned on me that farm animals are much like our family dog, fully deserving of our compassion and respect.

My internet search showed that they get neither. Male baby chicks are routinely suffocated in plastic garbage

Have a fire escape plan ready Editor: Many people think fire is something that happens to other people. Unfortunately, this common misperception continues to put Americans at risk to fire each year, particularly at home, where people think they’re safest from

fire but are actually at the greatest risk.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), a home structure fire was reported every 86 seconds in 2015, with about 80 percent of all U.S. fire deaths annually occurring at home.

In fact, today’s home fires present increased risks to occupants. Newer homes are built with lightweight materials that burn faster than older home constructions. They also tend to be designed with open floor plans that enable fire to spread rapidly. Meanwhile, many of the products and furnishings in today’s homes are produced with materials that generate dark, toxic gases when burned, making it impossible to breathe or see within moments. In short, home fires present a real risk that Goodyear residents need to take seriously.

One of the most basic but vital elements of home fire safety is having a home escape plan that everyone in the household has practiced. In a fire situation, when the smoke alarm sounds, a practiced home escape plan ensures that everyone knows how to use the precious minutes wisely.

2 Ways Out!” works to better educate the public about the critical importance of developing a home escape plan and practicing it. The Goodyear Fire Department is working in coordination with NFPA, the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years, to reinforce these potentially life-saving messages. Please visit, firepreventionweek.org.

As the risk reduction coordinator for the Goodyear Fire Department, I urge all residents to use this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign as a reminder to develop a home escape plan with everyone in the household and practice it twice a year. A home escape plan includes working smoke alarms on every level of the home, in every bedroom, and near all sleeping areas. It also includes two ways out of every room, usually a door and a window, with a clear path to an outside meeting place (like a tree, light pole, or mailbox) that’s a safe distance from the home.

Vote ‘yes’ on fire bond Editor: I am writing today to encourage you to vote “yes” on the Buckeye Valley Fire Bond. I am a strong supporter of fiscal responsibility and making sure that our taxes are being spent wisely. I can tell you first hand that the district has been good stewards of our taxpayer dollars.

The district has spearheaded a budget turnaround that has earned them awards for their financial stewardship. And they aren’t done—they are continuing to find ways to do more with less. They have explored their financial options to ensure that they are using the taxpayers’ money as effectively as possible.

They have looked closely at this bond issue and put together a wise proposal that we all should support. I encourage you to look for yourself and I think you will see that it’s the smart choice to vote “yes.”

Concerned about Trump Editor: Some have challenged me to state why I have issues with Donald Trump.

Well, here are some of my concerns with this so-called president: 1. Has told scores of easily disprovable lies 2. Has shifted back and forth and back again on his policies 3. Has contradicted cabinet officials in his own cabinet 4. Attacked the courts, the press, his predecessor, his former electoral opponent, members of his own party, a federal judge because of his race, the intelligence community and even his own attorney general 5. Has failed to release his tax returns (Word is he will have no choice soon because of forthcoming subpoenas from Robert Mueller) 6. Has failed to fill senior political positions in many agencies 7. Has shown complete indifference to ethics and concerns 8. Has regularly interjected a self-regarding political element into apolitical events; i.e. the Boy Scout Jamboree 9. Has monetized the presidency by linking it to his personal business interests 10. Has engaged in cruel public behavior on many occasions including slamming Sen. McCain’s war record, a disabled reporter, the Kahn family and his own Miss Universe 11. While he may have responded dutifully to the hurricane disasters in Texas and Florida, the recovery effort in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands is showing gross incompetence on his part and negligent cruelty for that matter.

12. Has made the presidency an embarrassingly gross mutation to the rest of the world 13. Has engaged in a childish diatribe with North Korea that could actually lead to a nuclear war There are other issues and I could continue but these are just a few.

the Philippines, and the third brother suffered a broken leg as a paratrooper.

My brother served in the Tonkin Gulf during Vietnam.

I saw the flag as a symbol of freedom, justice and hope for all people.

Our military stood for our rights and our honor. In catastrophic times, we quickly assisted other countries. We were admired as a role model for democracy. The Statue of Liberty was gifted to us in recognition of our valor and great ideals: freedom and the right to strive for anything you wanted to be.

We are changing. An aura of fear grips our country. I am an Arizona native but I feel like a stranger in my homeland. If I am in danger, I will not call on law enforcement to protect me.

I am not alone in these feelings and I don’t expect you to agree with me or to understand.

When “Black is Beautiful” was coined to counter the ugliness of racism and to heal the terrible scars our black Americans were enduring, it was taken offensively by many white Americans.

When the words “Black Lives Matter” were spoken and asserted, it was again

distorted and maligned. Would you have understood their meaning more clearly as, “Black is Beautiful, too” or “Black Lives Matter, too?”

NFL football players are Americans, “too.” They are on bent knee with their right hands held across their hearts, a gesture of supplication. They are trying to communicate with you but you are not seeing the forest for the trees.

Taking a knee?

Editor: Pat Tillman died defending this country and its flag. He must be turning over in his grave seeing how the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals organization and its players are disrespecting his sacrifice, this great country, its flag, our national anthem, the military and the NFL fanbase. Please, out of respect for Pat Tillman and his ultimate sacrifice, cover his name on the Ring of Honor with a black cloth. Pat Tillman would not take part in this protest and would

be ashamed to wear the Cardinals uniform. It’s a pity when a business allows its employees to taint their product, which is entertainment, not a political platform.

Ken Busboom Buckeye

What is and is not respect Editor: I personally couldn’t care less what the NFL or their players do. However, let’s be clear: Kneeling to the flag is not disrespectful.

Trump’s tweets and comments about it are disrespectful. He has called the players SOBs, called for them to be fired and called upon sports fans to boycott them.

The whole point of the First Amendment is that the government shouldn’t be punishing “We the People” for our beliefs.

And here we have President Trump using his bully pulpit to chastise, berate and call people names for expressing their First Amendment rights.

That shouldn’t happen!

If politics and sports were a worthy pair in 2001, they’re worthy now

By David Leibowitz

The sight of National Football League players kneeling to protest racial injustice during “The Star-Spangled Banner” inevitably takes me back in time, back precisely 16 years to two baseball diamonds, to the green grass of what was then known as Bank One Ballpark in downtown Phoenix and to the old version of New York’s hallowed Bronx ballfield, Yankee Stadium.

I am talking about the most overt political spectacle of my 50-plus years watching sports: The 2001 World Series, when the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the New York Yankees, four amazing games to three.

Maybe you’ve forgotten that series, or  maybe what you remember  happened on the field of play, like  when Luis Gonzalez hit a blooper over the shortstop to knock in Jay Bell and  win Arizona our first and only major  sports championship.

of politics and “what it means to be American,” as various moments in time demand. While I vehemently disagree with many of today’s protesters – who seem certain police and people who look like me are the enemy – I disagree with equal vehemence that each protester is, in the crass words of President Trump, a “son of a bitch” who needs to be yanked off the field and “fired.”

America means different things to 350 million different people. We have arguments, we fight, we bitterly disagree.

We have that freedom, and we use it daily. What makes it work, it seems to me, is exactly what the anthem we’re arguing about says with such eloquence.

Afterward, when the bombs have burst and the rocket’s red glare dies away, when the fury and angry fighting has finished, there she is – that flag, the cloth metaphor for the American soil beneath our feet, still aflutter, still waving, over the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Business Briefcase

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 4, 2017

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. What a relief this weather has been. It’s officially fall and it’s even starting to feel like it with nice, cool breezes starting to roll in. That’s right, it’s looking like we don’t have to wait until November again to don our fall attire this year. Sure, the weather is still reaching degrees upward of the

80s and 90s, but to us Arizonans that’s practically heaven when compared to this summer’s record of 118 degrees.

But with the new season comes new activities and developments that are definitely worth your time.

Goodyear’s Puff & Fluff pampering West Valley pets

By Connor Dziawura

When entrepreneur Liz Illg purchased Phoenix’s Puff & Fluff Grooming and Pet Sitting in 2013, her goal was to spread her love of animals Valleywide.

The company had one location at 16th Street and Bethany Home Road in Phoenix. But with Illg at the reins of Puff & Fluff, the shop quickly grew.

Less than two years after opening an Arcadia Puff & Fluff, she introduced its services to Goodyear on August 1.

“I love pets, first and foremost,” Illg said. “I wanted to find a pet business that I could enhance. A lot of grooming shops tend to just groom animals and make animals pretty.”

But Illg yearned to do something different.

“I wanted to create a community around it where we have pet events and we do pet fundraising and we’re really tapping into the community,” she explained.

Puff & Fluff offers many services, beginning with its full-service dog grooming option. This includes a bath, blow dry, nail trim, ear trim and cleaning, haircut, massage and other essential details. Packages range from $45 to $100, depending on the size and breed of the dog. The shop also offers a bath and brush package, as well as à la carte services. Not only does Puff & Fluff service dogs, but cats can also be bathed, brushed, groomed and trimmed.

Pet sitting is offered at its Central Phoenix and West Valley locations.

Puff & Fluff’s unique options include anesthesia-free dental cleanings, thanks to a special veterinarian who comes in every other month. The next availability is in November.

“It’s a really safe way and a lot cheaper way to get your dog’s teeth cleaned,” she said. “They’re usually

fully booked.”

Standard services grooming and pet sitting are popular, but even pets need pampering.

“Nail polish is a huge one right now, and then also we color dogs’ hair,” she said. “There’s a pet-friendly spray paint that we use, and so people will come in and want like the tail of the dog to be bright pink. So, we’ll spray paint the tail bright pink, and just fun little services like that that are just kind of pampering your pooch a little bit more than just a normal service.”

But as Illg explained, Puff & Fluff is not simply about basic pet grooming.

She wants to be a resource for allthings pet-related.

“We really want to be an outlet for the pet industry; hence we are grooming dogs and pet sitting dogs,” she said.

“We want to be a real big outlet.”

And what could be a better way to show the community she cares than hold Puff & Fluff Deal Day? Every month, the company posts details online about this event, which offers a 20-percent discount on all products and services.

“We want to be affordable,” she said.

“So, if we’re not affordable every day during the week, we want to offer a special to get people to come in and meet anybody’s price point.”

But with the shop operating in three Valley locales, Illg and Puff & Fluff are proud to include Goodyear as a home.

“The wonderful thing about going out to the West Valley is there wasn’t a lot of local grooming shops,” she said.

“You have a lot of corporate grooming shops, and so we really want to market to the community of having a small local business, because I firmly believe that people get love and attention from

Verrado swim team looks stronger than ever WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 4, 2017

Verrado has always had a strong girls individual medley in 1:56.64. Stewart swim team, and it is again. This year, said Nabor has even bigger ambitions the boys are looking to be an equal this year.

Grant Greenbaum, a junior, swam force.

Both the boys and girls teams have in state last year, taking seventh in started the season 4-0 in dual meets, the 500 free in 4:50.94. That event, and the boys have made lofty goals for the 200 individual medley, and 100 breaststroke will be his best events this the season.

“This is the strongest the boys team season, Stewart said.

“He’s got the drive,” Stewart said. has been in the eight seasons I’ve coached them,” said assistant coach “He always wants to beat the person next to him, and do better to help the Denise Stewart.

Stewart stepped down as head coach team. That really helps.”

Zach Petrey, who does both the 50 following the 2016 season because she free and 100 free, along was accepted to a nuclear with Sam Sondreal are the medicine program that SWIMMING senior captains. Senior started in August. She Eric Kodet, who swam on jumped at the chance to help new head coach Jason Bourland, two relay teams at the state tournament last year, is another important senior. though.

Verrado also has two freshmen that “They were having a hard time finding an assistant coach, so he asked are making an impact in Jacob Cress me if I could come back and help him and Jacob Beyer.

“They’ll do pretty much anything transition for at least one year,” Stewart said. “Jason is a fantastic coach. He’s we put them in, and they are a force,” done a really good transition into this Stewart said. “They’re really good, really team. The team is really responding laid back, they fit in perfectly, and they’re well to him, which I was hoping. I have racing. They’re pushing the seniors.”

Verrado’s boys finished ninth as a no doubt this team is in good hands.”

Bourland, who coached eight seasons team last year, which was its best in at Youngker, said he’s excited to be on school history. The bar has been pushed board at Verrado. Having Stewart along even higher this season, as it has for the has been a monstrous relief, he added. girls as well, Bourland said.

“We’re already a bit higher on our “She already knows the team really well, the background of the team, the program on the way they’re swimming direction the team was already going,” than they were last year,” Bourland Bourland said. “So, the structure said. “I think they’d like to be top five, for the team is already there, and it’s for sure. There’s a lot of big schools, really easy to transition into something a lot of great swimming schools out new having her at your side. She’s there, and we want to make sure we’re foundational, and to have her available part of that umbrella.”

Stewart said it’s totally different like she is, is really a blessing.”

Stewart is still at practice three to having the boys team just as strong as four times per week and will attend just the girls.

“I’m not going to lie, it’s a really about every meet, she said.

The boys team has started the season different shift, but I’m really glad it’s on a good note, and Stewart said the happening because those boys have put strength of the team has been their in a lot of time and they really deserve the recognition they’re starting to get,” camaraderie.

“They all get along so well together,” Stewart said.

The girls team has 34 swimmers, she said. “No matter what relay or order including several returners from we pick, it’s going to be a solid relay.”

The boys team has 20 athletes, last year’s sixth place finish at state. including returning sophomore Jadan Nobody medaled, but there were Nabor, who, as a freshman, was a plenty of athletes who scored points, medalist in two events at last year’s including all three of its relay teams.

“There are a lot of girls on this team who are really strong and have a lot to offer,” Stewart said. “I have no doubt they’re going to have a great showing at state.”

Warrum is looking to qualify in the 100 free and 100 back for state this year, Stewart said. Samsing is eyeing the 50 free and 100 free for state.

In addition to a strong returning group, there are eight freshmen on the team. Kennedy Eichler is a standout, Stewart said.

“You’re probably going to be hearing that name a lot,” Stewart said. “She is going to be a force in that pool. She loves the 200 free and 500 free. When she is up and ready to race, it’s so much fun to watch her race. She is so self driven it’s insane.”

Verrado’s girls team is also strong in diving. Sydney Eccles is the dive captain, and her, Ludka, Amanda Angelovic and Jordan Argano have already all qualified for the state meet in diving.

“I love it,” Bourland said. “You have to look at what this team has done in the past, what they’ve built throughout the years, all the different swimmers that have come out of this school and what kind of things they’re doing now in college. You look at that legacy that’s being built, and you want to be part of that. They’ve already built something, and you want to get involved in that and be part of that, see if you can bring growth to that and nest yourself into it even more.”

New partnership brings name change to PIR 18

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 4, 2017

By Casey Pritchard

The name “Phoenix International Raceway” will soon be no more.

PIR announced a partnership with ISM Connect that gives it naming rights to the Avondale venue. Starting next year, the track will be known as ISM Raceway, to reflect the company that deals with smart venue technology.

“When we announced our construction project back in January, it really changed everything for us, and it opened the door for all sorts of different possibilities,” said PIR President Bryan Sperber. “One of those possibilities was potentially a naming rights partner. So, we started to talk to a number of brands that were interested in being our naming rights partner.”

He said this partnership goes beyond a name on the building.

“ISM really had interest in partnering with us to enhance the digital experience for the live attendees,” Sperber said. “So, it really became more about how do you create this unbelievable experiential opportunity

for live attendance at our venue. It was incredibly attractive to us and we were really glad the relationship was able to be consummated and be able to announce ISM Raceway.”

According to Sperber, ISM has incredible technological capabilities, is very creative and has many blue-chip technology partners that it will bring to the relationship. ISM offers a wide range of features with apps, as well as live interactive video boards and video screens.

Jeff Hutchins, ISM Connect’s vice president of operations, is excited about the partnership because he helped put the deal together, and has interesting surprises for fans, he said.

“For ISM, what we’ve done to date is cool,” Hutchins said. “It’s interesting.

We’re a year or so ahead of people, and what we’re doing in Phoenix is going to keep us three years ahead of people.

It’s a very important project to us.”

Creating a partnership with such a technologically advanced company

was vital to Sperber because society depends on electronics.

“The smartphone and our devices have really taken over all facets of our daily life from the mundane to entertainment, and we clearly are in the entertainment business,” Sperber said. “So, being able to have a venue now that not only embraces Phoenix International Raceway will become ISM Raceway technology, but really takes in 2018. (Logo courtesy Phoenix International Raceway) it to another level. I think we’ll really blow away our “We’re going to be the only motor fans with what we’re going to provide sports venue in the United States, to them in terms of entertainment in a I believe, that will be fully Wi-Fi 360-degree environment.” enabled,” Sperber said.

“It’s going to be a massively interesting focal point,” he said.

ISM Connect is using PIR as its flagship, with a focus on integrating into other sports venues. Hutchins said he believes it’s going to be an evolutionary experience, he said.

“We talked to a lot of different venues before we made this decision, and the Phoenix team is really what made the difference,” Hutchins said. “The market that Phoenix brings, the area, that whole geography – it’s a fantastic space. The country recognizes it as a leading (digital market), and the team here had such a tremendous vision that it fit. It was almost karmic the way it kind of clicked into place.”

Rocker 7 brings fall to the West Valley

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 4, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Brandon and Katie Leister enjoyed six years of farming in Buckeye when, in 2014, the couple decided to share their love of agriculture with the community.

Rocker 7 Farm Patch, the partner location to Rocker 7 Farms, will once again open its gates for a fall festival that kicks off Saturday, October 7. It runs through Sunday, October 29.

“I love fall,” said Katie, who grew up in Texas. “In this state, you have to create it. Also, we wanted to be good stewards of our industry and educate our neighbors on where food comes from and Arizona agriculture in general.”

The fall festival features a pumpkin patch, crop maze, hayride and other family-friendly attractions. Admission is $9 on Fridays and $10 on the weekends. Hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Saturdays, including opening day; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays; and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Fridays. The Chick-fil-A cow will make a guest appearance on opening day. On October 14, Rocker 7 Farm Patch will crown the pumpkin princess and corn king.

“The admission includes all the activities on the farms, except for pumpkins that they want to purchase or concessions,” she said. “Hayride and the barrel train are included in admission. Once you enter, you can participate in everything.”

In the waning hours of the festival, from 6 to 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Rocker 7 Farm Patch will host flashlight nights.

“It’s something that older kids will enjoy,” she said. “Maybe they aren’t

quite ready for the haunted thing yet, but they’re a little big for the daytime activities.

“We hope it’ll be a good fit. Middleaged boys are pretty excited about this.”

Bringing kids to the farm is nothing new for the Leisters, who offer school tours and host fieldtrips.

This summer, it transitioned to a nonprofit to seek grants to promote its educational activities and lessons.

The Leisters are proud that their two children—Leyton, Katie Leister grew up in Texas and yearned for the fall.

Wanell Costello finds fair work udderly fantastic

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

As the Arizona State Fair’s executive director, Wanell Costello admits that she makes great cocktail conversation.

Raised in Thatcher and living in Buckeye, Costello has learned to read a cow’s nose print, the ins and outs of pop culture and how to handle amusement attractions.

She’s the fair’s go-to person. Costello began her tenure with the fair as an intern. She will kick off her 29th fair on October 6.

“I enjoy that it has so many different components,” said Costello, whose husband is Buckeye Fire Chief Bob Costello.

“I don’t do the same thing every day.

I’ve dealt with animals, entertainment, the arts and crafts and the carnival component. There are so many different facets of the fair that it never gets dull.”

A second-generation Arizonan, Costello grew up admiring the fair. As a student at Brigham Young University in Utah, she applied for an internship at the Arizona State Fair and got it. It was the perfect fit, considering she was

studying recreation administration, a curriculum that included managing facility and entertainment venues.

She made her mark and worked her way up to executive director, a position she’s had since January 2015. Costello and her staff, including assistant executive director Jen Yee, begin planning for the Arizona State Fair as soon as the previous one ends.

“It’s such a large production that it takes a full year and you have to give it your full attention,” she said. “We talk to the grounds entertainers about coming in the next year. It takes all the energy to get the next year together.”

Year-round, however, they’re on the hunt for new contests, arts and crafts and trends.

“We continually try to and figure out how we can improve and change, whether it’s a different layout and new seating arrangements, or what new food we can offer. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes.”

Once again, this year will be different, featuring more music, like

bands paying tribute to the likes of Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Journey and AC/ DC. Acrobats from mainland China, animatronic dragons and new monster trucks are also on the docket.

Veterans Memorial Coliseum will be the home to concerts by acts ranging from Gary Allan to Marilyn Manson.

“We really are just packed with entertainment this year,” she said. “Jen does such a good job booking the acts.

We really try to be eclectic in our mix.

We hit as many genres as we can.

“We’re known for that throughout the fair circuit. We’re not afraid to get a little edgy. We did Green Day when Green Day was first coming out. They were a little edgy at the time. They weren’t a fair act. No one could believe we were going to do it.”

General admission seating is available for free with fair admission.

Reserved seating can be purchased for $40-$60 for most shows, and that includes admission.

“You can pay for a seat that is close

down front, or you can come in for free,” Costello said. “I don’t think concertgoers know this. Even if you’re not a huge fan of the genre of the bands, they’re still entertainers. It’s worth popping in for a few minutes just to watch.”

Just like the bands change annually, Costello’s tasks evolve.

“This is my 29th fair. There’s always something new that comes on your plate,” she said. “I’ve been lucky in my career. I had supervisors and leaders who allowed me to try new things.

Each year I was given a new challenge.

It never got dull. It still hasn’t.”

Launched on October 1, the Texas “Cup for a Cause” is set to raise $100,000 for organizations like Rebuild Texas and The Coastal Bend Disaster Recovery Group. Rudy’s will match up to $50,000.

During October, Rudy’s will transform its 32-ounce cups into the Texas Cup. Guests are encouraged to donate $1 and, in return, they will receive a free dink coupon to be used on their next visit. Through the past campaigns, the Rudy’s team and guests have raised more than $1 million for various charities, mainly focused on supporting military- and breast cancer-

related charities.

“After the storm rolled through, we began donating food and supplies to the hurricane victims, service personnel and volunteers in the affected regions throughout Texas,” said Pete Bassett, vice president of operations for Rudy’s.

“We knew that more than our barbecue and supplies were needed for these affected regions to rebuild, so we quickly began to work on the Texas Cup for a Cause.”

Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q is located at 845 N. Litchfield Road, Goodyear. For more information, call 480-663-6311. Since 1989, Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-B-Q has served real Texas barbecue to folks in the Southwest. For more information, visit rudysbbq.com.

Community volunteers support Buckeye schools election

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Community volunteers gathered September 23 at the Buckeye Elementary School District’s Central Office to show support for the district’s Maintenance & Operations Budget Override election.

The local political action committee supporting BESD, Keeping Our Class Sizes Small, provided T-shirts, yard signs and information cards to the volunteers to distribute in district neighborhoods.

The BESD Governing Board approved a resolution on May 1 calling for a special budget override election On November 7.

The M&O is a continuation of the current funding measure in which the state allows school districts to acquire between 10 and 15 percent additional funding through local voter support above the current operations budget provided by the state.

The M&O Override is a component of the secondary tax rate, which, according to Maricopa County Education Service Agency (MCESA), is projected to be $1.32 per $100 of assessed valuation. It is not a new tax. The estimated cost to an owner of a home with a property value of

$85,380 (the average value of a home in the district) would be approximately $112.80 per year.

Funds raised by the M&O Override will continue funding for programs currently serving district students.

The funds will be used for staff salaries and benefits to attract and retain 49 highly qualified teachers and allow BESD to keep class sizes small, maintain competitive salaries and offer all-day free kindergarten.

In addition, the funds will support art, music, band, physical education, guidance counselors, and reading and math intervention specialists in every school.

This year, every registered voter within the Buckeye Elementary School District boundary will receive a mailin ballot, beginning October 11. Voters can complete the ballot and return it to the Maricopa County Elections Department or drop their ballot off at a Jurisdictional Elections Ballot Center. The Buckeye Elementary District Office is a Ballot Center and will be open Saturday, October 28, to Tuesday, November 7. The Ballot Center hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday to Friday; 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

“We continually address the needs of all learners by systematically identifying students’ needs and making data-driven decisions. We offer an array of programs that challenge all our Thunderbirds to reach their full potential.”

The Traditional Academy is an accelerated program that offers students a global- and project-based approach to learning Inclusion Revolution provides self-contained students interactive opportunities to deepen relationships with their peers in self-contained and general education.

“A positive school culture is of utmost importance,” Benjamin said. “Our school motto epitomizes our belief that

a successful school functions as an allinclusive family: Once a Thunderbird, Always a Thunderbird.”

Gangplank Avondale hosts Rep. Peten tours new robotics event for girls Marionneaux Elementary

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Gangplank Avondale is hosting the Girl Powered workshop in conjunction with the United Nations’ International Day of the Girl.

The class is from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Tuesday, October 10, at the studio, 525 N. Central Avenue, Avondale. It will feature hands-on STEM activities for girls and their families.

The global initiative was created through a partnership between the Robotics Education & Competition (REC) Foundation and VEX Robotics, who are working to redefine the face of STEM and make robotics reflective of the world we live in.

The Girl Powered workshops were created to encourage girls to be involved with STEM, showcasing examples of how women are changing the world, providing tools for success, and creating a comfortable environment where all students’ confidence and

abilities can flourish.

“We’re excited to support the REC Foundation and VEX Robotics by hosting a Girl Powered workshop,” said Ralph Gibson, Gangplank Avondale’s Hacknight facilitator.

“We fully back the intent of this initiative, which is designed to engage more young women in STEM at an early age to ensure that our robotics programs attract as many students interested in STEM as possible. The Girl Powered initiative will help reach many more young women who might not have thought they would be accepted in robotics.”

By West Valley View staff To help raise awareness of the Buckeye Elementary School District, District 4 State Rep. Dr. Geraldine Peten visited Marionneaux Elementary School in Buckeye on September 26.

Peten met with district leaders, as well as teachers and students during her visit, which was part of the national Take Your Legislator to School (TYLS) program.

The TYLS is an opportunity to provide legislators an authentic, positive and realistic classroom and

school experience by meeting with teachers and students. In addition, it’s an opportunity for schools to develop relationships with state leadership so that when an education bill is being considered in the future, they might call that teacher or district leader for advice.

The TYLS program was designed in collaboration by Arizona Educational Foundation, Arizona Education Association and the Arizona K-12 Center.

(4) So long as the Book-Entry System is used for the Bonds and the Certificates, the City and the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall give any notice of redemption or any other notices required to be given to registered owners of Bonds or Certificates only to the Depository or its nominee registered as the owner thereof. Any failure of the Depository to advise any of its participants, or of any participant to notify the Beneficial Owner, of any such notice and its content or effect shall not affect the validity of the redemption of the Bonds or the Certificates to be redeemed or of any other action premised on such notice. Neither the City nor the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent shall be responsible or liable for the failure of the Depository or any participant thereof to make any payment or give any notice to a Beneficial Owner in respect of the Bonds or the Certificates or any error or delay relating thereto.

(5) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Section 2(b) hereof or of the Bonds to the contrary, so long as the Bonds are subject to a BookEntry System, it shall not be necessary for the registered owner to present the applicable Bond for payment of mandatory redemption installments, if any. The mandatory redemption installments may be noted on books kept by the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent and the Depository for such purpose, and the Bonds shall be tendered to the Bond Registrar and Paying Agent at their maturity.

York or any successor depository designated pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 12. Ordinance a Contract.

This Ordinance shall constitute a contract between the City and the registered owners of the Bonds and the Certificates and shall not be repealed or amended in any manner which would impair, impede or lessen the rights of the registered owners of the Bonds or the Certificates then outstanding.

SECTION 13. General Federal Tax Law Covenants. (a) The City shall not make or direct the making of any investment or other use of the proceeds of any Bonds or Certificates which would cause such Bonds or Certificates to be “arbitrage bonds” as that term is defined in Section 148 (or any successor provision thereto) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or “private activity bonds” as that term is defined in Section 141 (or any successor provision thereto) of the Code, and shall comply with the requirements of the Code sections and related regulations throughout the term of the Bonds and the Certificates. (Particularly, the City shall be the owner of the facilities refinanced with the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds (the “Facilities”) for federal income tax purposes. Except as otherwise advised in a Bond Counsel’s Opinion (as such term is defined in the next Section), the City shall not enter into (1) any management or service contract with any entity other than a governmental entity for the operation of any portion of the Facilities unless the management or service contract complies with the requirements of Revenue Procedure 97-13 or such other authority as may control at the time, or (2) any lease or other arrangement with any entity other than a governmental entity that gives such entity special legal entitlements with respect to any portion of the Facilities. Also, the payment of principal and interest with respect to the Bonds (including that with respect to the Certificates) shall not be guaranteed (in whole or in part) by the United States or any agency or instrumentality of the United States. The proceeds of the Bonds, or amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds, shall not be invested (directly or indirectly) in federally insured deposits or accounts, except to the extent such proceeds (1) may be so invested for an initial temporary period until needed for the purpose for which the Bonds are being issued, (2) may be so used in making investments of a bona fide debt service fund or (3) may be invested in obligations issued by the United States Treasury.)

In consideration of the purchase and acceptance of the Bonds and the Certificates by such holders from time to time and of retaining such exclusion and as authorized by Title 35, Chapter 3, Article 7, Arizona Revised Statutes, as amended, the Council covenants, and the appropriate officials of the City are hereby directed, to take all action required or to refrain from taking any action prohibited by the Code which would adversely affect in any respect such exclusion. (b) The procedures and covenants contained in any arbitrage rebate provision or separate agreement executed in connection with the issuance of the Bonds and the Certificates (initially Section 14 hereof) shall be complied with for so long as compliance is necessary in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the Bonds (including that evidenced by the Certificates). (c) (1) The City shall take all necessary and desirable steps, as determined by the Council, to comply with the requirements hereunder in order to ensure that interest on the Bonds is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code; provided, however, compliance with any such requirement shall not be required in the event the City receives a Bond Counsel’s Opinion that either (i) compliance with such requirement is not required to maintain the exclusion from gross income of interest on the Bonds, or (ii) compliance with some other requirement will meet the

requirements of the Code. In the event the City receives such a Bond Counsel’s Opinion, this Ordinance shall be amended to conform to the requirements set forth in such opinion.

(2) If for any reason any requirement hereunder is not complied with, the Council shall take all necessary and desirable steps, as determined by the City, to correct such noncompliance within a reasonable period of time after such noncompliance is discovered or should have been discovered with the exercise of reasonable diligence and the City shall pay any required interest or penalty under Regulations section 1.148-3(h). (d) The written procedures of the City to ensure that all nonqualified obligations are remediated according to the requirements under the Code and related Treasury Regulations and to monitor the requirements of section 148 of the Code relating to arbitrage approved by Resolution No. 1611-816, adopted by the Mayor and Council of the City on August 8, 2016, are ratified and confirmed.

Bond Yield shall mean the discount rate that produces a present value equal to the Issue Price of all unconditionally payable payments of principal, interest and fees for qualified guarantees within the meaning of Regulations section 1.148-4(f) and amounts reasonably expected to be paid as fees for qualified guarantees in connection with the Bonds as determined under Regulations section 1.148-4(b). The present value of all such payments shall be computed as of the date of issue of the Bonds and using semiannual compounding on the basis of a 360-day year.

“Code” shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and any successor provisions thereto.

“Investment Property” shall mean any security, obligation (other than a tax-exempt bond within the meaning of Code section 148(b)(3)(A)), annuity contract or investment-type property within the meaning of Regulations section 1.148-1(b).

“Issue Price” is as indicated in such arbitrage certificate, which is the initial offering price to the public (not including bond houses and brokers, or similar persons or organizations acting in the capacity of underwriters of wholesalers) at which price a substantial amount of the Bonds was sold, less any bond insurance premium and reserve surety bond premium.

Each payment required to be made under this Section shall be filed with the Internal Revenue Service Center, Ogden, Utah 84201, on or before the date such payment is due, and shall be accompanied by IRS Form 8038-T. (d) No Nonpurpose Investment shall be acquired for an amount in excess of its fair market value. No Nonpurpose Investment shall be sold or otherwise disposed of for an amount less than its fair market value. (e) For purposes of Subsection (d), whether a Nonpurpose Investment has been purchased or sold or disposed of for its fair market value shall be determined as follows: (1) The fair market value of a Nonpurpose Investment generally shall be the price at which a willing buyer would purchase the Nonpurpose Investment from

a willing seller in a bona fide arm’s length transaction. Fair market value shall be determined on the date on which a contract to purchase or sell the Nonpurpose Investment becomes binding.

(2) Except as provided in Subsection (f) or (g), a Nonpurpose Investment that is not of a type traded on an established securities market, within the meaning of Code section 1273, is rebuttably presumed to be acquired or disposed of for a price that is not equal to its fair market value.

(3) If a United States Treasury obligation is acquired directly from or sold or disposed of directly to the United States Treasury, such acquisition or sale or disposition shall be treated as establishing the fair market value of the obligation. (f) The purchase price of a certificate of deposit that has a fixed interest rate, a fixed payment schedule and a substantial penalty for early withdrawal is considered to be its fair market value if the yield on the certificate of deposit is not less than: (1) the yield on reasonably comparable direct obligations of the United States; and (2) the highest yield that is published or posted by the provider to be currently available from the provider on reasonably comparable certificates of deposit offered to the public. (g) A guaranteed investment contract shall be considered acquired and disposed of for an amount equal to its fair market value if: (1) A bona fide solicitation in writing for a specified guaranteed investment contract, including all material terms, is timely forwarded to all potential providers.

The solicitation must include a statement that the submission of a bid is a representation that the potential provider did not consult with any other potential provider about its bid, that the bid was determined without regard to any other formal or informal agreement that the potential provider has with the City or any other person (whether or not in connection with the Bonds), and that the bid is not being submitted solely as a courtesy to the City or any other person for purposes of satisfying the requirements in the Regulations that the City receive bids from at least one reasonably competitive provider and at least three providers that do not have a material financial interest in the Bonds.

(2) All potential providers have an equal opportunity to bid, with no potential provider having the opportunity to review other bids before providing a bid.

(3) At least three reasonably competitive providers (i.e. having an established industry reputation as a competitive provider of the type of investments being purchased) are solicited for bids. At least three bids must be received from providers that have no material financial interest in the Bonds (e.g., a lead underwriter within 15 days of the issue date of the Bonds or a financial advisor with respect to the investment) and at least one of such three bids must be from a reasonably competitive provider. If the City uses an agent to conduct the bidding, the agent may not bid.

(4) The highest-yielding guaranteed investment contract for which a qualifying bid is made (determined net of broker’s fees) is purchased.

(5) The determination of the terms of the guaranteed investment contract takes into account as a significant factor the reasonably expected deposit and drawdown schedule for the amounts to be invested.

(6) The terms for the guaranteed investment contract are commercially reasonable (i.e. have a legitimate business purpose other than to increase the purchase price or reduce the yield of the guaranteed investment contract).

(7) The provider of the investment contract certifies the administrative costs (as defined in Regulations section 1.148-5(e)) that it pays (or expects to pay) to third parties in connection with the guaranteed

investment contract.

The City retains until three years (8) after the last outstanding Bond is retired, (i) a copy of the guaranteed investment contract, (ii) a receipt or other record of the amount actually paid for the guaranteed investment contract, including any administrative costs paid by the City and a copy of the provider’s certification described in (7) above, (iii) the name of the person and entity submitting each bid, the time and date of the bid, and the bid results and (iv) the bid solicitation form and, if the terms of the guaranteed investment contract deviates from the bid solicitation form or a submitted bid is modified, a brief statement explaining the deviation and stating the purpose of the deviation. (h) The employment of such experts and consultants to make, as necessary, any calculations in respect of rebates to be made to the United States of America in accordance with Section 148(f) of such Code is hereby authorized.

SECTION 15. Severability; Ratification of Actions; Emergency.

If any section, paragraph, (a) subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be illegal or unenforceable, such decision will not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The Council hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each and every other section, paragraph, subdivision, sentence, clause or phrase hereof and authorized the issuance of the Bonds pursuant hereto irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, paragraphs, subdivisions, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Ordinance may be held illegal, invalid or unenforceable. (b) All actions of the officers, employees and agents of the City including the Council which conform to the purposes and intent of this Ordinance and which further the issuance and sale of the Bonds and the Certificates as contemplated by this Ordinance, whether taken before or after adoption of this Ordinance, are hereby ratified, confirmed and approved. The proper officers and agents of the City are hereby authorized and directed to do all such acts and things and to execute and deliver all such documents on behalf of the City as may be necessary to carry out the terms and intent of this Ordinance. (c) The immediate operation of this Ordinance is necessary for the preservation of the public health and welfare, particularly to be able to finance the capital needs of the City on the most advantageous terms presently available, and an emergency is hereby declared to exist, and this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage and approval by the Council of the City of Avondale, Arizona, as required by law, and it is hereby exempt from the referendum provisions of the Charter of the City and the Constitution and laws of the State of Arizona.

Fact ‘n Fill: Monsterous History Next month might bring us ghosts and goblins, but today marks the 53rd Anniversary when the country was introduced to the residents at 1313 Mockingbird Lane, in glorious black and white.

The Munsters were your average monster family. Herman (another work of art created by Dr. Frankenstein) worked at a funeral home, while wife Lily (nee: Dracula) tended to the family and pets.

Son Eddie is your average little werewolf who sleeps in a drawer and carries around his doll Woof-Woof.

Lily’s father, Grandpa Dracula, concocted potions in his lab. Then there was their poor niece, Marilyn who was normal to us, but freaky to her family. The Munster “pets”: Igor - Grandpa’s Transylvanian bat; Spot - Eddie’s pet dragon who lived under the stairs; Charlie the Raven who lives in the cuckoo clock; and Kitty - a black cat that roars like a lion.

The Munsters was on the air the same period as was it’s similar competitor, The Addam’s Family, however The Munsters had higher ratings.

The City of Avondale application numbers for these proposals are PL-17 -0140, PL-17-0 142, and PL-17-0207.
