Conservatory helps kids channel their inner artist

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Desert Edge High School senior Donovan Perez is passionate about the arts. In elementary school, he drew “weird figures” as a way of expressing his creativity.

Now, his Goodyear school is helping him to possibly turn his hobby into a career with the 3-year-old Conservatory of Arts and Design. The robust learning program allows students to focus and refine their artistic skills with the help of professional mentors in two disciplines: performing and visual arts.

“Since I joined the conservatory, I’ve learned and grown as an artist very much,” said Perez, who wants to study arts at Estrella Mountain Community College.

“My teachers give me constructive criticism so I can grow as an artist and a person.

“We’re always criticized, but we’re never given that positive feedback. That’s what I get from my art teacher, Mr. (Ryan) Williams.”

Last week, Williams took his advanced placement studio arts students to BOONgarden in Downtown Avondale to draw among the foliage.

“The community doesn’t realize what we have,” Williams said about the conservatory.

Students who wish to focus on the performing arts have four intensive programs from which to choose: dance, choir, instrumental music and theater. They then perform in front of an audience at Desert Edge’s state-of-the-art arts center, which features a dance studio, choir classroom and auditorium theater. Like

other pupils, they are required to complete classes needed for graduation.

“Throughout a conservatory performing artist’s academic career, students will develop their own artistic voice that will be sharpened through a community audience,”

Goodyear couple turns adoption journey into fundraiser

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Matthew and Michelle Hendrick feel blessed. The Goodyear couple have three children younger than 6, but believe they have “more love to give.”

So, the Hendricks, both of whom are 27, are working hard to adopt children from Africa.

“We already have three kids of our own, and we knew we didn’t want to have any other kids of our own,” she said. “We always knew we wanted to adopt. We weren’t sure when or from where. We’re getting ready to buy a house, so we thought

we might as well do it now.”

As most prospective parents know, adoption is a costly process. The Hendricks are taking an innovative approach to fundraising. They have been collecting gently used shoes through Southern California-based Cash 4 Shooz. The fundraiser not only helps the Hendricks by paying them a flat rate per pound, but it reduces the carbon footprint and enhances the economy.

“Cash 4 Shooz will send a freight truck, we load it, they weigh them and separate

them,” she said. “They send them to an underdeveloped country where they employ people to fix the shoes and clean them, and then they sell them back into the community. They’re helping those people with jobs and helping the economy.”

The family – which also includes Levi, 6, Malachi, 5, and Scout, 1 – is asking the public to bring their used shoes to a bake sale at 10 a.m. Sunday, October 15, at Centerra School Park, 423 N. 152nd

A man was killed and a woman injured after a 2 a.m. October 1 shooting in the parking lot of the Lighthouse Bar and Grill, according to Sgt. Thomas Alt of the Avondale Police Department.

The victim has been identified as 30-year-old Vicent Grant. A person of interest has been described as a black male possibly driving a dark-colored

newer Dodge with aftermarket black rims, Alt said.

The Avondale Police Department is asking anyone with information regarding this suspect or the homicide to contact the Avondale Police Department at 623-333-7001. Anyone with information who wishes to remain anonymous may contact Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS (948-6377).

Abrazo West Campus hosts blood drive

By West Valley View staff

To help replenish the nationwide blood supply that has become depleted as a result of the recent tragedies, Abrazo West Campus is hosting a blood drive on Friday, October 13, in the hospital’s second-floor conference room, 13677 W. McDowell Road in Goodyear.

Appointments can be made from 7:15 a.m. to 3 p.m.

All donations are encouraged with a special emphasis on O-negative blood.

O-negative blood type donors are universal donors.

United Blood Services is conducting the blood drive. To sign up to donate blood, call 1-877-827-4376 or go to bloodhero.com (Sponsor Code: abrazowest).

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to support cancer patients and others.

Mary Alice Donofrio gave blood for the first time in memory of her mother who received several blood transfusions while being treated for breast cancer.

“I had no idea what to expect, but the experience was very easy and quite rewarding,” Donofrio said. “Ever since then, I try and give blood as often as I can, and every time it gives me a good feeling in my heart. It is so nice to know that taking just an hour or so out of my day can help save the lives of others.”

According to the American Cancer Society, nearly 1.7 million new cases of cancer are expected in the United States this year. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, with nearly 253,000 females expected to be diagnosed in 2017. Cancer patients may need blood products during chemotherapy, surgery or treatment for complications.

The LDS Buckeye Stake is hosting a blood drive from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Saturday, October 28, at its building, 25800 W. Southern Avenue.

To donate, download the American Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) to make an appointment or for more information.

All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental consent in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood.

High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Blood and platelet donors can save time at their next donation by using RapidPass to complete their predonation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, from a computer or mobile device. To get started and learn more, visit redcrossblood.org/ RapidPass and follow the instructions on the site.

“We’re really excited about this adoption journey,” she said. “We’re hoping to get either one child or siblings, depending on the need. They will be younger than our oldest child because that’s generally how agencies work.

“We’re excited to help children who desperately need change, and parents to love them. We want them to help us teach our children about compassion and to make a change instead of talking about it.”

The couple, who moved here from California for more affordable housing, do not consider their adoption efforts noble. They say they’re just doing what their creator wants.

“It’s not us,” she said quietly. “It’s God. He put this in our heart and we’re just trying to follow that. We want to help others who really need it.

“I don’t want to take any credit. It’s been really hard, actually. I get emotional just thinking about what we have and what they don’t have. I have to stop myself because I get so overwhelmed about what they might be going through – whether they’re cold, hot, scared or hungry. It’s super overwhelming, especially being a mom and thinking about them. They’re already chosen for us. We just don’t know who they are yet.”

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

A CVS pharmacy tech was arrested October 3 on charges of theft, trafficking stolen property and fraud, Goodyear Police said.

Robert B. Kemple, 29, worked for the CVS at 2840 N. Dysart Road for nine years, and had allegedly been ordering diabetic test strips Robert Kemple had fraudulently.

He was taken into custody without incident and booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail on October 4.

Conservatory visual arts students can choose one of three pathways: 2or 3-dimensional design or a varied path. The program is designed for students interested in learning the basic understanding of visual arts and drives students toward an advanced level for developing visual compositions.

“This is a really good opportunity for high school students,” he said.

“They can be in art for four years. As a middle-school student, you might not know what you want to do. Here, you can sample classes and, by their sophomore year, they might know what they would like to do.”

Desert Edge showcases the students’ works throughout the facility and city.

Murals are displayed, artwork is hung, and students play instruments, dance and act inside the Desert Edge doors.

The Scorpion Art Gallery exhibits the kids’ work, while the Arts Café gives them a chance to plan, prepare and perform for their peers in a collegestyle cafe. It has housed a film festival, rock bands and theatrical performances.

Last March, AP visual arts students held their first art show at Enroute Coffee and Teahouse in Goodyear.

The conservatory’s dance program is the largest in the Agua Fria Union High School District, while the marching band performs locally and nationally.

Alumni have gone on to teach dance and coach cheerleading.

“If they want to focus on dance for four years, they can,” Williams said. “To complete the program, they have to do an independent project that shows what they’ve learned over the past four years.

“They can start a dance club, or do a community service project. We’re trying to set the bar really high. We want these kids to apply what they’ve learned and figure out how they can best show off their talents.”

As graduate of Augustana College, a small, private liberal arts school in Rock Island, Illinois, Williams appreciates what Desert Edge is doing.

“I value this conservatory thinking,” he said. “It’s that wholistic approach to education. We’re not just teaching in isolation. The kids have a lot of different opportunities to learn and connect.”

advantage of those chances as well.

“I went through all the arts classes, like ceramics and graphic design,” said Valdez, an aspiring animator. “I’m learning about art and how I can apply it to my career.

“Plus, we are learning how to bounce

ideas off each other, which will be important in college.”

Perez put it best: “Ever since I joined the arts program, my mind has been open to so many possibilities and so many careers.”

OPINION

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 11, 2017

OUR READERS’ VIEWPOINTS

SMITH’S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

A real American hero Editor: What a hero, for Alejandro Villanueva to take the field and honor our American flag and national anthem.

He thought he threw his teammates under the bus when, in reality, they threw Alejandro under the bus. He is my football hero.

John Hammond Goodyear

Vote ‘yes’ on the Buckeye Valley fire bond Editor: Hello to all who are reading this letter. It is of great concern that we find it in your hearts to vote “yes” on the Buckeye Valley fire bond.

For years, the Buckeye Valley Fire District has shown great professionalism in the response and care of all those who have dialed 9-1-1. The Buckeye Valley Fire District has also shown that it is a financial steward with taxpayer’s dollars. But that’s not all the Buckeye Valley Fire District has done.

It has been involved in our schools, breast cancer awareness, MDA “Fill the Boot,” Christmas in April, food drives and holiday events, to say the least. Buckeye Valley Fire District gives back to the community because it cares and it’s what it loves to do.

But in saying all that, the Buckeye Valley Fire District was established in 1949 and has never had a fire bond. So, for over 68 years, this is the first of its kind. And after 68 years of significant growth in the community, it’s time to invest in public safety. I ask you to take a minute and look at this: More than 6,000 emergency response calls per year, and over 200 square miles of fire protection and emergency response.

That’s a significant amount of calls and area that are covered. They have done a great job and continue to do so. Let’s look at the bottom line now.

What this will cost us as taxpayers: • BVFD is requesting $14,185,000 in bond funds over a 20-year period • The cost to BVFD residents is pro-

jected to be $54 per year of secondary property tax per each $100,000 of assessed value • That’s about $4.50 per month.

As a district resident, that’s a very smart investment to protect our health, community and property. It will also allow them to maintain low response times in any emergency. The important thing here is making the right choice as a community. I reach out to each and every one of you to make to right decision for the future of this district and community. I will be voting “yes” because it’s the right thing to do and to support those who support us in times of need.

Letter of support for Tolleson Union High School District Editor: As a parent, business leader and president of the Tolleson Union High School board, I have dedicated considerable time and energy to fostering a learning environment that nourishes greatness and success for our students.

Our high schools require basic funding to keep up with basic maintenance and to replace aging classroom equipment.

We need to provide the computer technology that is essential to effective learning and preparation for success in the workforce. We must ensure that our heating and cooling systems operate efficiently.

On November 7, 2017, the district will be asking our voters to approve our bond to finance these learning essentials. This will minimize costs by ensuring basic upkeep and it will properly equip our classrooms to ensure our students and teachers can focus on the all-important task of preparing for the future. Good schools are important to everyone. They sustain property values and create an economy that attracts business and creates opportunity for growth. Whether your children are grown, are attending one our schools, or even if you don’t have school-age children, you benefit from wise investments in learning.

I hope you will support our schools by providing funding for a great edu-

cational environment.

Corina Madruga, president Tolleson Union High School District Governing Board

Vote ‘yes’ for LESD and AFUHSD overrides Editor: Why support the continuation of the Litchfield Elementary and the Agua Fria Union High School District overrides? Let’s look at a few solid reasons.

First, consider the economic impact.

Opponents of overrides cite the cost and lack of personal economic benefit. However, a brief review shows that supporting public education builds the local economy. Dana Mitra, Penn State associate professor states, “Student achievement benefits from small class sizes, qualified teachers, safe school environments, and up-to-date instructional materials and technology,” all of which are elements supported by overrides. According to a 2013 University of Virginia study, the quality of the public schools clearly correlates to attracting and keeping quality jobs.

A 2004 paper, “School Funding, Taxes and Economic Growth,” also connects public school support with economic development through items such as qualified workers, higher property values and higher wages.

Secondly, LESD and AFUHSD believe that “all means all.” As regular

public schools, they support students from all walks of life. From International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement, honors or Traditional Academy students, to Career and Technical Education students, to students with profound physical and learning challenges, LESD and AFUHSD prepare all students to become college and career ready.

Finally, overrides support many extra and co-curricular programs that provide students with life skills and experiences needed to be college and career ready. They support arts education such as music, drama, dance and visual arts. They also support sports programs and various academic, service and student interest clubs. Without the overrides, many of these programs might be downsized or cut.

With two LESD students, I can attest that the overrides have played an important part in their lives.

Vote “yes” to reauthorize the AFUHSD and LESD overrides and continue to support quality education and strong communities.

Salt cedars are misunderstood Editor: Shayla Hyde’s September 27 article advocates for the removal of 18 miles

of salt cedar trees because, she says, the trees cause “flood and fire hazards.” I couldn’t help wondering how exactly are trees flood hazards? I have always been taught the opposite: trees help prevent flooding.

Doing a little research on the salt cedar, I found ASU professor Juliet Stromberg’s article “Changing Perceptions of Change: The Role of Scientists in Tamarix and River Management,” published in 2009 by Restoration Ecology. It notes that persisting negative perceptions of salt cedars is largely due to outmoded science. For instance, Hyde reiterates in the article an outdated scientific claim that said salt cedars suck up “200 to 300 gallons of water a day,” but this claim was actually debunked by scientists Pamela Nagler and Edward Glenn in the Journal of Ecohydrology back in 2008.

They showed that transpiration of water by the salt cedar is equivalent to that of native vegetation. Modern scientific understanding of the salt cedar shows it is a species that has occupied native habitats, not as an invader, but as the only species of vegetation that can survive in certain environments given human modifica-

Football players aren’t right Editor: Many feel that NFL football players are only exercising their First Amendment right to free speech when they refuse to stand for the flag and national anthem. Are they right? Not really.

Free speech only applies to when the government is trying to infringe upon it.

The Constitution’s freedom of expression applies only to government action, but a private company can. Try promoting a political or religious view next time on company time and see how that goes.

The Supreme Court has ruled that free speech does not extend to the workplace.

The NFL is privately owned and is not constrained by the First Amendment.

The NFL has many rules of conduct that constrain players’ behavior, like decals on helmets, wearing of patches and symbols, end zone behavior, etc. Indeed, all NFL players sign conduct contracts stating that they will not engage

in conduct that adversely effects or reflects on the club. In Article 46 of the collective bargaining agreement, NFL players agree not to conduct themselves in a way that would be “detrimental to the integrity of, or public confidence in the game of professional football.”

So, were the protesting players not living up to their end of the bargain by demonstrating behavior detrimental to the NFL? Were the owners selective in which rules of conduct to enforce because of fear of the players? Legal analyst Gregg Jarrett opined that “the only real question is whether kneeling during the national anthem as the stadium pays respect to the American flag constitutes detrimental conduct?” As the NFL owners are finding out, it does. Pushback from many fans and some advertisers is already adversely affecting the image and brand of the NFL. Only time will tell by how much.

Igor Shpudejko Goodyear

Rebuttal to reader viewpoint Editor: I would like to submit a rebuttal to a

9

letter submitted by Mr. Harry Callahan from Goodyear titled “Teachers work part time.”

Mr. Callahan, I disagree with your statement that teachers work part time for full-time pay and benefits. I looked up the Agua Fria pay schedule posted online and it refers to a 198-day contract year. The starting salary for a first-year, newly graduated teacher is $37,834. This equates to $3,152.83 month, over the course of a year. The teachers also pay significantly more for health care due to Obamacare than they had in the past, while paying the same payroll taxes that all the rest of us do.

I am not a huge fan of increasing taxes nor am I a fan of the way the taxes are structured in the overrides we are faced with almost every year. I am, though, supportive of the idea that the teachers in our district are fairly compensated and that turnover is minimal. I base this off the fact that the average teacher leaves in less than five years. New teachers leave teaching to make more money to pay their bills and support their families. Teachers are highly sought after as job candidates

Just an opinion Editor: In the interest of full disclosure, let me say that I am a Marine. I earned the title and took the oath in 1968. That being said, may I comment on the ongoing NFL situation?

The players have a Constitutional privilege to take a knee. It is protected by the rule of law. I only want them to understand the proper way to protest their cause.

property, the rights of others, or cause pain to others. If you have chosen social injustice as your cause, then vote for your cause, spend monies for your cause, live your life for your cause. That’s the proper way. Don’t blame others.

I personally have been protesting for decades. I don’t watch nor listen to Jane Fonda movies or interviews. I do not damage her property or hurt her supporters.

The NFL players must realize the tremendous damage they are doing to great men and women by taking a knee. If the players have never heard of great men like George Fazzah or Paul Stewart, they can visit them on a black granite wall in Washington, D.C. Dan Huntsinger Buckeye

Angered by letter Editor: I was angered by the letter from Harry Callahan and his response to teachers and their work hours.

My husband and daughter are both hard-working teachers in the Valley.

My husband is 66 years old, served in the USAF for 27 years, and then in the aerospace engineering field. Sev-

eral years ago, he was contacted by a high school district in Phoenix offering him a teaching job. He had already been teaching for a prestigious aerospace university and loved teaching.

He thought about it for 5 seconds and accepted the job. He may be the oldest teacher at his school, but I am not sure.

My point is, Mr. Callahan, that my husband arrives at school two hours early and stays a minimum of two hours late each and every day. That is at least 20 or more hours he doesn’t get paid for each week. He does this for his students and to help out anyway he can at school.

His coworkers do the same. Planning lessons, grading papers and being prepared are all done at home as he doesn’t have time to do that at school.

My daughter is much like her dad, as she is always at school doing extra work and has meetings with parents that are convenient for them even if she has already been there 10 hours. Most teachers spend the few weeks on the summer break taking classes at their own expense to improve their teaching skills.

So, Mr. Callahan, what did you do last Saturday? My 66-year-old husband with a bad back went with his coworker and picked up a couple dozen doughnuts and cases of water at 6 a.m. for their students.

They took two groups of high school students, fed them, and set out for a tour of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport as an extracurricular activity to enhance their learning of all things aerospace. He got home around 2 p.m., and watched a college football game before he spent several hours on his computer prepping for the new week.

So, teachers earn every dollar they work for, and many have to take second jobs to live. You will never get rich monetarily from being a teacher, but the joy you feel when one of your students “gets it” is a moment when you can feel good about your job. And by the way, I used to be a teacher.

Quality schools make quality communities WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 11, 2017

By West Valley Mayors

As the mayors of Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear and Litchfield Park, we recognize that education is a key component to our quality of life. People want to live in safe communities, with good job opportunities, and great schools.

Our communities have been successful in attracting thousands of jobs and millions in economic investment including a wide variety of positions which require high skills and pay high wages. One of the key components to our economic success has been our quality schools. It makes our cities an attractive destination for companies and helps provide a ready workforce for companies to hire.

We must keep this positive momentum going in the Southwest Valley, which is why we support the Litchfield Elementary and the Agua Fria Union High school districts' overrides.

Quality schools protect our property values, reduce crime and train our future workforce. Litchfield Elementary and the Agua Fria Union High school districts are among the best in the state—earning an “A” rating for many of their schools while taking home a

wide variety of national awards.

We must continue this quality by investing in our teachers. In fact, this override is dedicated to increasing teacher pay to help attract and retain the best teachers. We are facing a dramatic teacher shortage nationwide.

It is a competitive marketplace where quality teachers are in high demand.

Our teachers are approached all the time to work in other districts and this override will allow us to keep the best and brightest in our community.

Our districts have some of the lowest administrative costs in the state and we can count on our school leaders to spend taxpayer funds wisely. We can be assured 100 percent of the override will be used for students—not administration. The additional funds will be used directly to impact our students and the classroom ensuring our students have the technology they need to continue to succeed.

These overrides will also benefit our students by investing in other critical programs including specialty electives such as agriculture, JROTC, business and engineering for Agua

Fria schools and accelerated academic programming, arts, music and band at Litchfield Elementary schools.

The reality is that statewide per pupil student funding is still below 2007 levels. While there has been an increase in revenue over the past few years, our schools continue to be dramatically underfunded. Our district has been able to keep up by being fiscally responsible—reducing staff and eliminating programs. However, it has been through overrides that these schools have had the resources to succeed. We need to do our part to ensure a solid future for our schools.

The Southwest Valley is a great place to work, play and raise a family.

We are committed to ensuring that our next generation has quality educational opportunities at all levels to ensure success. Please join us in supporting the Litchfield Elementary and Agua Fria overrides. Learn more at ContinuetheQuality.org.

rerun over and again.

Our obsession with ranking killings is foolish. Google “mass shootings in America” and what you get is lists – which lone killer racked up the most carnage in a single spree? Let me save you the trouble of trying to establish a deadly Top 10 list, like a high score on some shooter video game. The worst mass shooting in America is the one that kills or cripples someone you love. Every other mass shooting is simply a story to you, something you digest and forget.

Our third-grade grasp of gun violence is equally dumb. This is the part that slays me – figuratively. Broadly speaking, the debaters about guns line up into two posses. There’s people who fall in behind the National Rifle Association and point to the Second Amendment as sacrosanct versus people who say things like, “the minute someone with a knife stabs 59 people and wounds 500 more, I’ll scream for a knife ban. Until then, let’s ban guns!”

You’re both wrong. Because you’re both ignoring the complexity of the

problem, thus ruling out any effective solutions.

What happened that Sunday night in Las Vegas – and every other mass shooting in the last 20 years – represents a tragedy with multiple causes. It’s a gun problem, a mental-health problem, a crime problem, a law-enforcement problem and a legislative problem, all wrapped up in one tangled mess of dysfunction. No simple solution will work. In fact, even a comprehensive strategy will inevitably fail on occasion, leaving our streets awash in pooled blood, with discarded handbags and discarded lives left behind like so much sad litter.

Still, we need a new story, a new strategy, new and more complex solutions when it comes to guns and killing. Because memes and hashtags, new world killing records and political hissy fits? They don’t seem to be doing us one damn bit of good.

Signed,

Business Briefcase

By Connor Dziawura

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Business Briefcase. At this point, if you’re a returning reader, you already know the drill. I’m going to run a lot of great new business-related information by you. Usually the weekly roundup includes plenty of chamber meet-ups and events, but I also have a variety of local business updates coming your way. The first comes in the form of a classic Goodyear business that recently changed locations. This week’s listing will give both an insight on how to manage your own business or even just where you can ensure you are served a good, quality meal. But enough with the dilly-dallying; here’s the news!

First on today’s agenda – Sukie’s Bridal, Tux & Alterations recently moved to a new location on Monday, October 2. This clothing shop is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays. Sukie’s is closed on Sundays. The store is holding an official grand opening ceremony at 3

p.m. Monday, October 23.

Sukie’s, which has been in the West Valley for over 14 years, provides custom alterations and rentals for tuxedoes, suits and bridal attire. The company also sells formal wear, and can service a variety of occasions including proms and weddings. The new location is at 15591 W. Roosevelt Street, Goodyear. For more information, visit sukiesbridal.com.

Moving over to Avondale, Rosati’s Pizza and Sports Pub is holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new location from noon to 1 p.m. Friday, October 13. The location opened on July 1, and it is now time to celebrate!

Known for its small pick-up and delivery pizza shops, Rosati’s also has full-service sports pubs – and this location is a new addition. Whether you’re interested in traditional thin crust, pan or deep-dish pizzas, or even an Italian beef sandwich, this famed Chicago eatery arguably never disappoints, and it continues to grow

its presence throughout the Valley. The new Rosati’s is open from 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays, and 10:30 a.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays. It is located at 1729 N. Dysart Road, Suite 108, Avondale.

In Buckeye, the Entrepreneurship Outreach Network (EON) is holding Monday Night Business Meet-Ups at 6 p.m. The next meeting will be October 16. These EON meetings are great opportunities for local business owners to get together and discuss ideas for launching and growing their businesses. Registration is not required for this weekly event. These meetings are located at the Coyote Branch of Buckeye Public Library, 21699 W. Yuma Road.

The EON is also holding Business Workshops at 6:30 p.m. Thursdays.

While previous outings have focused on topics such as creating business plans and finding new customers, the October 12 meeting will discuss Google for Businesses. The next get together, on October 19, is dedicated to public speaking and pitching. These Thursday meetings will culminate in the October 26 meeting, from 6 to 9 p.m., which will be a special 1-on-1 mentoring night to improve pitches.

Like the Monday meetings, Thursday workshops will be held at Buckeye Public Library’s Coyote Branch.

These Thursday workshops, however, require attendees to RSVP. For more information on either of these EON events, email eon@buckeyeaz.gov.

At an annual Leadership Conference, Red Lobster, 15311 W. McDowell Road, Goodyear, was recently presented with the Lighthouse Club Award. This award, which is considered the eatery’s most prestigious honor, was given to 32

of 700 locations. Our local restaurant also placed in the company’s top 5 percent, based on five important standards: pace of meal, taste of food, intent to return, sales growth and labor retention.

According to company officials, Goodyear Red Lobster exhibits the company’s seven core values: respect, integrity, genuine caring, hospitality, teamwork, excellence and fun.

For the penultimate bit of information, The Wigwam named Marti Trieschmann as the regional vice president of sales and marketing—and for good reason! Trieschmann has more than 25 years’ experience in this field.

Prior to accepting this position, she served as the area director of sales and marketing for multiple organizations, including the Wyndham Lake Buena Vista Resort, the Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa, and Sunshine Suites Resort, the final two of which are located in the Cayman Islands! Her experience, however, is too far reaching to even scratch the surface. This appointment is big news, as not only is The Wigwam considered a historic landmark in Arizona, but it’s also a AAA Four-Diamond resort! The Wigwam is located at 300 Wigwam Boulevard, Litchfield Park.

“My Feet Are Killing Me!” – that is something we’ve all probably said at some point. Well, that phrase is the theme and title of this special event.

To round out this week’s tidbits, the Southwest Chamber of Commerce is holding a Lunch N Learn from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, November 7. As you may be aware, Lunch N Learn is a reoccurring event with the Southwest

dirtied until personal possessions are accessible. All items purchased by the concierge desk are through Partners for Health, a nonprofit group that helps Abrazo West Campus patients.

But according to the concierge program’s founder, the specialized service goes far beyond those basics.

Dawn Gielau, director of Service Excellence and Volunteer Engagement at Abrazo West Campus, said her volunteers find creative solutions to brighten patient experience.

“We find ways to make things happen,” Gielau said. “We create the experiences people want. No request is too big or too small.”

The concierge volunteers perform simple tasks like recommending local restaurants, shopping or hotels for family members. They can contact insurers

or print boarding passes. Concierge volunteers deliver magazines, coloring books and crayons, or family photos they’ve received from relatives so patients can focus on happier moments while they are healing.

“I can’t say enough good things about the concierge program,” says Desiree Creekmore, RN, who works as a charge nurse in the Abrazo West Campus intensive care unit.

“Whenever our patients or their family members have special needs, the concierge volunteers are there to help.”

Having a friendly conversation can go a long way to make visitors and patients more comfortable, said concierge volunteer Jerry Drake.

“When I escort visitors to visit someone in the ICU, I ask them questions about where they came from and who they are visiting. Talking to them helps to relieve their anxiety,’’ he said.

Creekmore praised the concierge program for helping one of her ICU patients.

“As I was talking to the patient, trying to find a way to make her feel better, she said she wanted to have a party, and she mentioned her favorite ice cream,” she said.

“I called the concierge desk and said, ‘I have a job for you.’ It was the coolest thing. They jumped into action, took a trip to the nearest grocery store and came back with the patient’s favorite gourmet ice cream, and their supervisor showed up with balloons.

“We had a party right there in the room for the patient and her daughter,” Creekmore said. “The patient was so happy. Her face was so sweet. I will never forget that moment.”

New Prostate Pill Reduces Urge to Pee Especially During the Night

ADVERTISEMENT

Men in clinical trials see dramatic improvements in nighttime bathroom urges and an overall improvement in sexual performance.

Kris Stellum National Health Syndicate NHS, Boston MA — A new prostate pill is helping men across the country regain control of their bladders and their sex lives.

Innovus Pharmaceuticals, the company behind the breakthrough, says its key ingredient blocks certain hormones in the body that make your prostate grow.

drives, and consider more problems with their erections.

In fact 8 out of 10 men with prostate issues end up suffering with ED! “Most men have no idea that their prostate can impact their sexual performance” says Dr. Damaj. “The prostate gland needs to be healthy to achieve a powerful orgasm.

If its enlarged, men can experience serious sexual let downs.”

As a result, while taking the pill, your prostate gets smaller and your symptoms disappear.

“Men say the first things they notice is waking up less for the bathroom and an unexpected boost in sexual performance” says Dr. Bassam Damaj, Director of Science at Innovus.

“It’s why they love the product. While most prostate drugs kill your sex life, our natural pill enhances it. Plus, it solves all the other problems. It will strengthen your stream, end your straining, and relieve the constant urge to urinate”.

Sensational Improvements in Urinary Control and Performance Sales for the new pill, which goes by the brand name ProstaGorx, are exploding! And that’s because ProstaGorx is not a drug. It’s something completely different. It uses natural compounds to shrink your prostate and put the brakes on prostate growth. By taking it daily, it helps men regain control of their bladders and escape all of urinary discomfort that can make life miserable.

Reverses Prostate Growth Numerous medical studies reveal that keeping your prostate healthy is vital for avoiding urgent bathroom problems. When your prostate is small, you pee freely, forcefully, and without hesitation. You don’t feel any pain, urgency or discomfort. And you feel fully relieved every time you go.

But when your prostate swells, you experience just the opposite. And endless battle with annoying enlarged prostate symptoms that can linger for decades!

And according to new studies, they will. A staggering 80% of men suffer with them. The most common being weak urinary streams, painful urination, dribbling and leaking, middle of the night bathroom urges, incomplete emptying, and the constant feeling of having to pee.

Boosts Sexual Performance According to new research published by the Mayo Clinic, men with large prostate have less sex, lower sex

ProstaGorx Offers Clinically Proven Results • • • • • • •

Reduce frequency and urgency Stop dribbling, dripping, and leaking Improve flow and force Relieve pain while peeing Empty your bladder completely End late night bathroom trips and sleep longer IGNITE YOUR SEX DRIVE!

How It Works ProstaGorx uses the same science that makes drugs like Alpha Blockers so effective but since it’s natural it won’t give you any side effects and you won’t need a prescription.

As you get older your body slowly converts your remaining testosterone into estrogen through a process known as aromatase. Over the years as more testosterone is converted into estrogen, your body becomes imbalanced — too much estrogen and too little testosterone signals your to produce DHT, a growth hormone 10 times stronger than regular testosterone.

Unfortunately, instead of correcting this imbalance, the enormous spike in DHT causes your prostate to grow!

As levels of DHT rise, your prostate only gets bigger... pressing hard against your bladder and clamping your urethra shut! The result is painful and persistent prostate problems that will have you living your life around a bathroom.

ProstaGorx naturally shrinks your prostate using a key nutrient that’s clinically proven to block DHT. As your levels of DHT begin to fall, your prostate gets smaller and your symptoms vanish.

Backed By Stunning Research In a new landmark study, the leading ingredient in ProstaGorx slashed lower urinary tract symptoms by a staggering 81% and was reported to be as effective as the drug Proscar but with virtually zero side effects.

ProstaGorx Works: This new pill blocks hormones associated with an enlarged prostate without causing any negative side-effects

And in yet another study “boosted prostate health by promoting a healthy libido.

“Every since I retired my prostate has given me hell” says John Manning, 68, of Ohio. “But since taking ProstaGorx everything has changed. I’ve stopped waking up for the bathroom in the middle of the night. I pee a lot less during the day. And when I do go, my streams are strong and there’s no hesitation. And out of nowhere my sex life’s improved! I’ve tried everything and this is the only thing that’s worked”.

Guaranteed Effective ProstaGorx is an exciting new prostate pill that’s helping men find real relief from prostate problems without any of the negative side effects from drugs.

By blocking certain hormones in the body that trigger prostate growth, ProstaGorx naturally shrinks your prostate, relieving your worst symptoms safely.

With daily use you’ll sleep more, pee less, and have much better sex. ProstaGorx is clinically proven to end the urgency and frequency, improve urinary flow and force, and give you an entirely new level of comfort that makes life easier and much more enjoyable.

Tour de Tonopah biking event gives back to community

By Casey Pritchard

A pair of West Valley rotary clubs is hosting a biking event in Tonopah, with the proceeds benefiting high school students.

The third annual Tour de Tonopah bike ride is set for October 28, taking participants through various parts of Tonopah, including old stagecoach pathways and around the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.

The ride is $65, or $40 for veterans.

First responders can participate for free. The ride offers three lengths: 13 miles, 40 miles or 60 miles. It’s a ride, not a race, said event coordinator Carl Goin.

“What we wanted to do was have a program that everybody could enjoy,” Goin said.

“We invite bicycle shops, bicycle clubs and riders to come out and enjoy.

We offer water and fruit and music.”

Goodyear White Tanks and Buckeye rotary clubs are sponsoring the event.

They support approximately 20 charities in the West Valley, and all

the money generated by the Tour de Tonopah event goes to high school students for college scholarships. This year, the event poster was designed

by Youngker High School student Skyelynne Watson.

“We asked the high schools to step forward with a design, and Youngker came forward with seven designs,” Goin said.

In addition to giving money for scholarships, the rotary clubs use Tour de Tonopah to help fund reader programs for grade schools in Buckeye, and sponsor foreign exchange students.

In the last three school years, they’ve sponsored students from Japan, Germany and Chile.

Tour de Tonopah will begin at 6:45 a.m. Saturday, October 28, at Tonopah

Valley High School, 38201 W. Indian School Road, Tonopah, and all riders must clear the course by 2 p.m.

Although it’s not a race, Goin said some riders use it as a tune up for other events.

“Because it’s a bicycle ride, not a race, it gives an opportunity for bicycle riders to warm up if they’re going to go do El Tour de Tucson,” Goin said.

The entire race is on blacktop, so it’s suitable for bikes of all types.

“You can ride any type of bike you want as long as you’re having fun,” Goin said.

Goin has invited 71 clubs in the rotary district to participate, and expects to get riders from California, New Mexico and Nevada, he said.

There were more than 100 riders at the

first event, before construction on I-10 last year made it difficult to get to the event, and only 70 participants showed up. Goin is hoping for 150 to 200 this time.

“We checked with ADOT and they don’t have anything scheduled for October 28,” Goin said.

Along the route, riders will be provided with snacks and water, and bicycle technicians can assist riders with problems.

“We’ll have two bicycle techs out there making sure flats are taken care of, and if anybody needs repair, they’ll take care of it,” Goin said.

Additionally, medics will be on hand to treat injured bikers.

“The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is with us on it, the fire department in Tonopah, we have medics on call,” Goin said.

Most of all, Goin just wants people to have a good time at Tour de Tonopah.

“It’s a beautiful ride, it really is,” Goin said.

Goodyear retiree wins big on ‘The Price is Right’

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Thomas Justice has been watching The Price is Right since 1972.

He learned about the Showcase Showdown, Cliff Hangers, Five Price Tags and Hi Lo as he was schooled in history.

Recently, the Goodyear retiree experienced it for himself when he was asked to “come on down” during a visit to the show’s California set. The episode aired on Wednesday, October 4.

“To be involved in it so intimately was absolutely a tremendous experience,” Justice said.

And he didn’t go home empty handed. He played Five Price Tags and won a Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain. He also bid on and took home a Dell XPS 15 15.6inch laptop.

But the stakes increased from there.

Through the Showcase Showdown, he won round-trip airfare for two to Toronto, Ontario, Canada; a stay at the King West Hotel there; a three-hour Toronto Islands and Lake Ontario sail

for two; a 2017 Ford Fiesta five-door hatchback SE, and two items of women’s designer jewelry through Emily Chelsea.

Justice said he didn’t expect to be called on stage.

A producer asked him questions early on, but when the announcer said, “Thomas Justice come on down!” he was “flabbergasted.”

The task at hand was a little harder than he thought.

“It looks so easy when you’re watching it on TV,” he said. “When you’re there and the crowd’s cheering and you’re trying to really think it through and do it quickly, Goodyear’s Thomas Justice recently won the Showcase Showdown on The Price is Right, which is it’s harder.

Culture-based expo showcases WV roots for third year

By Connor Dziawura

For three years, Goodyear’s Arts & Culture Commission has emphasized the West Valley’s diverse cultures and backgrounds through its annual Art of Cultures Expo and Art Walk.

This year’s incarnation is 4 to 9 p.m.

Saturday, October 14, at Goodyear Community Park. But as Goodyear Arts and Culture Coordinator Guylene Ozlanski puts it, Art of Cultures Expo and Art Walk is about more than ethnicity.

“We were able to identify so many unique areas that you don’t usually identify with,” Ozlanski said. “We have 40 groups—or artists and groups— who will be participating at the Art of Cultures Expo.”

The artists and groups are definitely diverse.

“We have everything from crocheting to graphic novels and comic book artists to your traditional painters,” she continued.

The event continues to be an eclectic affair. Beyond its traditional artists, the festival features performances by Ballet Folklorico Esperanza, salsa dancers from Arazando Dance Company and

storytelling by Sean Buvala.

During the yearly outing, Goodyear will also host accordion music from Jay Stevens, Cuban Connection by Victor Caldee, Indian dance from Sampradaya Dance of India and fire dancing from Mourning Fyre. These performances will culminate in a reggae set from Patrick Murillo at 8 p.m.

Beyond performances, interaction is a big part of it.

“We encourage all of our artisans and artists who come in to provide an interactive activity or some sort of educational piece so that when people come up, they’re not just walking through a booth to look at things that are for sale,” Ozlanski said. “They’re coming in to learn and see why you do this art form and how you do this art form. There’s a lot of interactivity.”

The festival’s long list of activities includes an interactive mural, a drum circle, an art tent, an interactive exhibit from a clay artist and puppetry lessons from Puppet Pie—and it’s all familyfriendly.

Get up close with native birds of prey at Skyline Park

By West Valley View staff

Owls, hawks, falcons and other birds of prey are the focus of a presentation to celebrate National Raptor Month at Skyline Regional Park from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, October 14.

This free, family-friendly event is provided by Buckeye’s Community Services Department and Wild at Heart, a nonprofit raptor rescue organization.

Learn about these incredible birds during a one-hour presentation from biologists, participate in up close, supervised interactions with the birds, talk one-on-one with their handlers and check out the kid’s activity station, too.

The raptors are under the care of the biologists from Wild at Heart, which travels with the birds to educate and raise public awareness of the importance these birds play on the environment and wildlife.

Bring a comfortable chair and water to the presentation. This is a free event, but preregistration is required at buckeyeaz.gov/rec.

Ex-Goodyear councilwoman given humanitarian prize

By Connor Dziawura

For the Southwest Community Network, spreading goodwill and creating positive connections in the West Valley have been goals for the last 30 years.

The organization has honored residents with similar beliefs for the last 11 years. In late September, it gave former Goodyear Councilwoman Sharolyn Hohman its Humanitarian of the Year prize during its business dinner at the Haymaker Restaurant Co. in Goodyear.

“It was a surprise to me,” Hohman said. “You feel excited; you’re honored; but it’s so humbling because you’re usually in a room with people who you’ve worked side by side with for a number of years who could have just as easily been selected.

“All these things go through your mind. It was such an honor. I’m in very good company of people who have received the award in the past.”

It was an easy decision for the network, as Hohman has an extensive history in the West Valley. From 1988 to 2013 she was the president and CEO of the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce. Following her retirement from the chamber, she served as a Goodyear councilwoman until this past June.

“It’s an outstanding award for people who have gone above and beyond what is normally expected of a community volunteer who does serve the Southwest Valley,” said Sandra Reagan, executive director for the Southwest Community Network.

Over the years, Hohman has founded

and been involved in a plethora of organizations throughout the community.

In addition to her aforementioned roles in the chamber and council, Hohman has served on the Maricopa County Community Development Advisory Committee and the Arizona Department of Transportation’s Citizens Transportation Oversight Committee. Her long résumé also includes founding Leadership West and the Southwest Lending Closet, as well as roles with All Faith, Catitude Gallery and Studio, Westmarc, Estrella Toastmasters, and Tri-City West Boys and Girls Club, just to start.

“As a nonprofit agency, we’re very interested in helping human services, and when we find someone who has dedicated a lot of time and effort over the years and that person stands out as a worthy recipient, then that’s how we determine who gets the humanitarian award,” Reagan said.

As part of the process of awarding Hohman, she was given a letter from Litchfield Park Mayor Thomas L. Schoaf. It “touched” her.

“Each year there’s usually a letter that is presented to the recipient from a significant person who has indicated they would like to write a letter,” Hohman said. “My letter was written by the mayor of Litchfield Park actually, and it was a beautiful, beautiful letter.”

The Southwest Community Network came together with the goal of aiding the Southwest Valley and creating significant programming, as well as prevention of substance abuse, teenage

“We came together as different groups to try to not only identify those programs and what programs didn’t exist but to implement those types of programs so we could really change the attitudes and behaviors of our youth and our citizens Southwest Community Network Executive Director Sandra here in the Southwest Reagan with Humanitarian Award winner Sharolyn Hohman, and Linda Wyman, outgoing president of SCN.

I really believe that some of us are born Humanitarian of the Year.

Traditional country comes alive with WV group

WEST VALLEY VIEW NEWS | OCTOBER 11, 2017

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

Buckeye resident Tim Holloway enjoys singing karaoke and fiddling around with his guitar. When he didn’t see an adequate open mic night for traditional country artists, he and fellow musician Happy Anderson decided to start their own.

The West Valley Country Music Association members will jam together from 2 to 5 p.m. the last Sunday of each month, including October 29 and November 26 at Waddell’s Longhorn Restaurant, 1629 N. 195th Avenue, Buckeye. For more information, call Holloway at 480-528-5102.

“Traditional country seems to be dying out,” said Anderson, a Sun City resident. “There aren’t too many people keeping it going. We thought this would be something to try to keep

the young people informed as to how it all started.

“The newer artists who are coming in seem to go more toward pop-country or ‘new country,’ instead of the old traditional style.”

Anderson is schooled in traditional country music. She owns a music publishing company, and ran a publicity agency in Nashville. She plays guitar, piano and ukulele, and is a member of the Sun City Ukulele Club.

Holloway downplays his musical talents. He is scheduled to sing his Vietnam Vet tribute song, “Dark Marble Wall,” at the opening ceremony of the American Veterans Traveling Tribute Wall’s appearance at Earl Edgar Recreational Facility, 500 S. Miller Road at 6 p.m. Thursday, November 9.

The West Valley Country Music Association will have its general meeting from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, November 1, at the Royal Café, 10793 Grand Avenue, Sun City. The group will elect its officers and collect dues. To make reservations for the meeting and lunch, call 623512-0607. To run for office, email westvalleycma@gmail.com.

The wall will remain through Sunday, November 12.

Holloway is thrilled that his dream of an open mic night has come to fruition.

“I’m not an accomplished guitar player,” he said. “But I noticed there was nothing going on in Buckeye, Tonopah or Goodyear. So I went to the

owner of Waddell’s and I kept bugging him about hosting an open mic night.

“He agreed to it, and at the same time, I met up with Happy Anderson and her husband. It was a good collaboration. I take great satisfaction in knowing that there is a lot of interest. We have filled up the place every time we’ve done this.”

After excelling at the Future Farmers of America State Leadership Conference this summer, the Millennium High School team will head to the nationals in late October.

“I was very proud of my team, and I walked away knowing that we all put in our best effort,” said senior Jillian Bartsch. “We had really strong debates overall and I was very happy with our performance.”

During state conference in Tucson, the Millennium team ranked as one of four National Gold Chapters of the 87 FFA programs in Arizona. More than 60,000 FFA members from around the nation will compete in individual competitions in Indianapolis.

“We have been practicing and we’re all very excited to get the experience of competing at nationals,” Bartsch said.

With just under 650,000 student members across the nation, the FFA is an agriculturally based youth

leadership program. However, the use of agriculture is only the tool used to help develop students’ critical thinking, public speaking and leadership skills.

“When people look at our program they think. ‘Oh, they’re just farmers,” said Kerilyn Brothers, adviser and instructor for the Millennium FFA and agriculture education.

“But we’re now creating leaders who are able and capable of running things efficiently, effectively and professionally.”

Students compete in team-based or individual events against other schools. At these career development events, students use their knowledge of parliamentary law to conduct mock meetings and debates.

“It isn’t just limited to farming.

There’s a business twist, food science twist, leadership twist. It truly brings out the leader in anyone that joins it,” said junior Pilar Moncada. “There’s so much to it that people don’t realize when

they look at ‘agricultural education,’” Sophomore Samuel Myers said that in the class and at the competitions he has learned everything from animal classification to GPS operating systems and soldering to record keeping and data organization.

The students agreed that it has been a lot of hard work and dedication that has gotten them to this point. They have been practicing twice a week since November of last year.

“I have over a thousand hours put into FFA,” Moncada said. “It’s my No. 1 priority when it comes to my extracurricular activities. The past three years have truly become the best years of my life, thanks to this program. I wouldn’t want to spend it any other way.”

Brothers spoke about the good that comes from the FFA. She said that she has personally seen the growth and improvement in her students just from learning and participating in these events.

“They’ve gone from not being able to stand up and say their name in class to giving these passionate, logical, thoughtful debates in front of a crowd,” she said.

“These kids are dedicating multiple hours of studying every week to something that they really genuinely care about.”

Sophomore Makenzie Sawyer said that taking this class and competing have taught her to work hard and stand up for what she believes in.

“What I like most about the FFA is that it teaches me life skills and gives me the opportunity to travel and build relationships I’ll have for the rest of my life,” Sawyer said. “It’s given me the chance to appreciate what I have.”

While the national championship is still a few weeks away, many members are eagerly awaiting their chance to compete.

“I am very nervous to compete, but as long as we all try our best, I will be happy no matter how we place,” Bartsch said.

Every year, Palo Verde Elementary School cafeteria manager Mary Mogen puts a new spin on amateur games with the Fruit Olympics, a program that introduces students to fruit they may not have otherwise eaten. During the sixth annual games, she showed kids the benefits of watermelon radishes, pluots, pepino melon, dragon fruit and Asian pears. Mogen said the children’s reactions are priceless. Sometimes they enjoy the fruit, other times their sour little faces say it all. Here, the kitchen staff prepares to serve fruit to students at Palo Verde Elementary School.

Sean E. Thompson, Funeral Director Cynthia Thompson, Owner

Staudenmayer, Margaret V. 91 of Avondale, died peacefully at home on August 23, 2017. She was born October 2, 1925 in McKeesport, PA to Mary and John Dawson. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and sister.

Margaret is survived by her children, Dee Jones, Janice Bowers, Meri (Glen) Simmons, and Lori Acuff; daughterin-law Dorothy Hassler; 13 grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; sister-in-law Faye Teemer; and her cousin Ronald Moss. She was preceded in death by her parents; her loving husband, Carlyle; her children, Thomas and Larry Jenkins and Susan Minnicks; and her brothers, Robert and John Dawson.

A celebration of her was held on Saturday, October 7, 2017 at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, Goodyear.

Abel Funeral Services handled arrangements.

George Washington Ayres, retired Air Force Master Sergeant, returned to his heavenly home in the early hours of October 2, 2017. His devout faith in God and belief in everlasting life helped him pass peacefully surrounded by his family.

George was born in Philadelphia, PA on July 13, 1948, to the late George and Mabel Ayres; his love and affection for his parents was immeasurable and a huge contributor to the man he became. Their unwavering faith in God and scripture not only influenced him but continues to guide his family.

Mr. Ayres enlisted into the United States Air Force in 1968 and served his country through sacrifice and mentoring countless new enlistees on the expectations of military service. He retired in 1988 as the Commandant of the Preliminary Military Education facility on Luke AFB as a highly respected NCO, including endorsements from top Air Force leaders.

George was blessed with a large and loving family. He fell in love with his best friend, Karen Fischer and was married on September 20, 1969. Karen never failed to be his true love and her selfless commitment to him and his family has been awe inspiring.

George is survived by Karen Fischer, and their four children, Jonathan (Kim), Rebecca (Charles “CJ” Tighe, Jr.) Meggan (Danny), and Aimee. He was also blessed with six grandchildren who love him dearly, Adrian, McKenzie, Tyler, Brianna, Emily and Stephen; as well as two sisters he adores, Renee D’Amore (Joseph, Jr.) and Deborah WallerHayes (Steve.)

Mr. Ayres and his family received a miracle the day they found Harvard House of Care, Goodyear, AZ. J.R. and Lily welcomed him from day one and he became a part of their family. He trusted and loved them. They ensured his last stages of life were ones filled with respect, unconditional caring, and true sincerity. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And Don, George’s roommate…you will never know how much it meant to us having someone that looked out for him. All of you are amazing people.

From our family to all of those who have provided love and support, it has meant the world.

Thompson Funeral Chapel will be administering services held next door at the Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church, 918 S Litchfield Rd, Goodyear, AZ 85338 on Tuesday, October 10, 2017 at 10:30 am. Burial proceedings with full military honors will be held at the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona, 23029 N Cave Creek Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85024 immediately following the service.

Condolences for the family may be left at www.thompsonfuneralchapel.com.

Donna Marie Harris Donna Marie Harris, age 58, of Goodyear, passed away Monday, the 2nd of October at the Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, Arizona due to sudden complications while battling a serious illness.

Donna was born in 1958 in Winchester, Virginia, to Roy and Nancy Harris. She graduated from Stonewall Jackson High School in Quicksburg, Virginia in 1977. Donna then obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology from the Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. Upon graduating in 1981, Donna moved to the Phoenix area and pursued a long and distinguished career with the Arizona Department of Corrections. After 22 years of service, Donna retired as a Bureau Administrator in 2004. Following her retirement from the Arizona Department of Corrections, Donna started her own all natural skin care and home products business called NaturOli Beautiful, LLC in Peoria with her late life partner, Chris Sicurella. The business continues to operate in her honor.

Donna found true joy in being there for others and took pride in caring for and being compassionate toward those she loved. She enjoyed taking trips back to Virginia to visit her parents and family and spent a lot of her free time with her with her daughter, Christina.

Donna is survived by her loving daughter and sonin-law, Christina and Clayton Luft, of Goodyear; her parents, Roy and Nancy Harris, of Mount Jackson, Virginia; and her brother, Martin Harris, of Great Falls, Virginia. She also leaves behind numerous loving relatives and friends.

A Memorial Service will be held for all friends, family, and loved ones in the Phoenix area on the 14th of October 2017 at 3:00 pm at the Best Funeral Services, 9380 West Peoria Avenue, Peoria, Arizona 85345.
