Communities give life and personality to the West Valley

By Carrie Snider

W

elcome to the West Valley!

As you settle into your new space here, you’re in good company. The West Valley is home to some of the fastest-growing cities in the country—and for good reason.

It’s filled with warm weather, fun activities and plenty of opportunities for employment and retirement.

First, a bit of geography. The “Valley” or Phoenix Metro Area includes all of the cities from east to downtown to west. When some people refer to “West Phoenix,” they may be talking about areas still quite close to downtown. A clear distinction about the West Valley, however, is its core cities from east to west: Tolleson, Avondale, Litchfield Park, Goodyear and Buckeye.

While each of those five cities are distinct in its own way, collectively they are very close. Thankfully, there are freeways to help you get around quickly, including I-10, the Loop 101 and the Loop 303. Additionally, the Loop 202 is under construction and will open soon, offering another option when you’re heading to the East Valley.

Here’s a bit more info to get you familiar with the different areas of the West Valley: • Tolleson is immediately west of the Phoenix city limits and south of 6

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

I-10. It was incorporated in 1929 and is named for founder W.G. Tolleson.

Its population is about 7,000 people.

Tolleson’s top employers include JBS Packerland, Americold, PepsiCo, Rousseau Farming Company, Fry’s Food and Drug, and Hillshire Brands.

• Avondale is west of Tolleson and extends north and south of I-10. The area was originally known as Coldwater, but was changed to Avondale after the Avondale Ranch.

The city was incorporated in 1946 and has a population of about 84,000.

While there are still cotton and alfalfa fields, much of the area is now populated with homes and shopping.

Most recently, the city welcomed The Vitamin Shoppe headquarters, SanMar, Copper Springs Hospital, Welbrook Rehabilitation, Legacy Senior Living and Copper State Rubber.

• Goodyear is west of Avondale, and is named for the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co., which owned many cotton fields there to use in its tires.

It was incorporated in 1946 and has about 80,000 people. Goodyear is home to the Goodyear Ballpark, where the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds have Spring Training. Some of the main employers include Amazon Fulfillment Center and the Arizona State Prison-Perryville. Goodyear has recently landed a host of new jobs, with the location of Nike and Ball manufacturing, Chewy and

UPS fulfillment centers, along with Microsoft data centers.

• Litchfield Park, located north of Goodyear and Avondale, was founded

by Goodyear Tire executive Paul W. Litchfield in 1926. He purchased thousands of acres of cotton for the tire company. The Wigwam was started as a retreat for executives visiting the area and evolved into the resort it is today. The city, which has about 5,500 residents, is home to several historic churches, homes, schools and a train station. Plus, it resides right next to Luke Air Force Base.

• Incorporated in 1929, Buckeye named after the Buckeye State, the home state of the Buckeye canal’s founder. Because the city was located by the canal, the name stuck. It is home to about 68,000 people, though as one of the nation’s fastest-growing cities with hundreds of square acres of land, Buckeye and its population will likely grow quickly. Buckeye is known for its rural areas, historic downtown, and its proximity to outdoor recreation such as Skyline Regional Park.

Each city has many events and resources to explore, so make yourself at home! While the area is growing more populated every day, the mixture of long-time residents and new transplants make for a melting pot of cultures and people who are looking to enjoy life here.

‘The Centerpiece of the Community’ Litchfield Park’s The Wigwam is a slice of history

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

T

he Wigwam staff considers the Litchfield Park resort “the centerpiece of the community”—and with good reason.

With its sprawling green lawn and grounds rich with history, The Wigwam played a major role in the founding of Litchfield Park, right along with Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.

When the corporation discovered cotton extended the life of its tires, the company bought 16,000 acres of Arizona land for cotton farming in the West Valley.

The ranch suppliers needed a place to stay, so the Organization House was established in 1918 as lodging for them. Eleven years later, The Wigwam opened as a resort for visiting executives on Thanksgiving Day 1929.

The capacity was 24 guests.

“We are celebrating our 90th anniversary this year,” says Katy Powers, The Wigwam’s managing director and general manager.

The first nine-hole golf course was built in 1930, expanding to 18 holes in 1941. Although this resort and resort in Litchfield Park has steadily grown over the past 85 years, The Organizational House, remains as the cornerstone of The Wigwam’s authenticity and southwestern charm.

Today, The Wigwam boasts 331 rooms, three championship golf courses—including the Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed Gold and Blue courses; nine tennis courts; three swimming pools including a 25-foot dual water slide; fitness center; award-winning dining; 29 fireplaces and fire pits; 30,000 square feet of indoor meeting space with 25 meeting rooms and 55,000 square feet of outdoor meeting space.

Providing that space is important to Powers and her staff.

“We want to provide as much support as possible to our neighborhoods,” she says. “We want to celebrate the community’s events.

We bring the community into our

8

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

property and we welcome them here.

“The community is very important to us. We want to provide as much support as possible to our neighbors, while celebrating and welcoming them onto our property. We count on their support as well, as we hire from within the community as much as possible.”

Throughout her years at The Wigwam, Powers has heard amazing stories from guests who share their love of the resort with generations of relatives.

“We have a few staff members whose parents met while they were working here,” Powers says. “We have 30-year employees. We have families who have had multiple generations marry here on the property. Others were engaged here and had their wedding and 25th anniversary here. They love coming to the resort to celebrate.”

The spa recently changed from Red Door to LeMonds Aveda SalonSpa. The sanctuary has leather sofas, Southwestern-style armoires and wood floors. Within the walls are staff members who are attentive and nurturing as they provide bodywork, hair and nail care, makeup artistry and a renewed sense of well-being.

The spa and resort have special pricing for neighbors. Call the resort for more information. Guests are also welcome to try the three dining options on the property.

Litchfield’s offers a great selection of reasonably priced small bites, for those looking to sit in the bar and enjoy with

The Wigwam

a bottle of wine or specialty cocktail.

Citrus-marinated olives with a hint of crushed chiles and olive oil are trademarks of the restaurant.

The dining room serves slowroasted and tender lamb belly, with beet root, green apple and pickled onion. Litchfield’s also offers dry-aged prime cuts of meat like 12-ounce ribeye, 10-ounce filet mignon and the 10-ounce bone-in veal chop is a restaurant favorite with Brussels sprouts and butternut squash, with a complement of cranberry relish.

Red’s Bar & Grill was named after The Wigwam’s venerable golf pro for 42 years. It’s a breakfast, lunch and dinner destination overlooking the elegant, arched palms and rolling greens of the historic Gold and Blue golf courses.

The Wigwam Bar is the resort’s heart and soul. It’s a European-style community courtyard where locals and guests meet early-morning lattes or late-night cocktails and live music.

“We want to see everyone at The Wigwam,” Powers says. “We welcome them to the property. People in the community love The Wigwam Bar. “The resort is beautiful and it’s the perfect place for family evenings and romantic nights. We have wonderful options on the property.”

DINE & DELIGHT AT THE WIGWAM Taste Arizona’s Best Chef-driven Cuisine & Cocktails at The Wigwam’s Three Acclaimed Destinations

Welcome to Buckeye

The city is a wealth of alfalfa, birds and invested residents

By Buckeye Valley Chamber of Commerce

B

uckeye was founded in 1888 and incorporated in 1929 as a 400-acre town. The city now sits on 600 square miles, making it, geographically, Arizona’s largest city.

The cotton, alfalfa and maize fields are still here, interspersed with housing developments and booming businesses.

Buckeye is the country’s fastestgrowing city, according to the 2015 U.S. Census Bureau.

Located just 35 miles west of Phoenix, Buckeye is convenient to work, sightseeing and an exciting nightlife, yet far enough away to retain a comfortable small-town feeling.

Residents can take advantage of offerings found in a metropolitan city and then return to the quiet comforts of home.

Population figures reflect the tremendous growth the city is experiencing. The special Census recorded Buckeye’s population as 83,000 residents. These folks are hugely invested in this community and strive to make it the most ideal place to live, work and raise a family.

The growth is not just in residential development.

Sundance Towne Center, Sundance Crossing and the Market on Broadway are home to a number of small retail businesses and restaurants, as well as, large national retailers, banks and restaurant chains and retail outlets.

The southwest corner of Dean and Yuma is home to the justice court, Buckeye Police and Fire departments, and the Coyote Branch Library.

Educational opportunities include the West-MEC campus, the ASU Entrepreneur Innovation Center and the Grand Canyon University bachelor degree program. Estrella Mountain Community College Buckeye Educational Center offers classes in what used to be the original Buckeye Union High School.

Every day, more than 75,000 cars 12

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

travel through Buckeye on Interstate 10, making the frontage roads an ideal location for a marketing and/or billboard signage opportunities.

The city’s unique partnership with the State Department of Water Resources and Developers determined the ample water supply in the Hassayampa River Basin west of the White Tank Mountains can provide our growing city with water in the future. The Hassayampa River Basin is the largest untapped aquifer in Arizona.

HISTORIC MAIN STREET Formerly old U.S. Highway 80, Monroe Avenue is Buckeye’s Historic Main Street. A stretch of the original roadbed is still in use where Monroe Avenue dead-ends into Apache. Old U.S. Highway 80 was originally called the Dixie Overland Highway or the Broadway of America. Before 1926, developers and towns scrambled to be on a coast-to-coast route. The Dixie Overland Highway was the first all-year, coast-to-coast roadway. Because many of these highways shared the same roadbed through parts of the country, people became confused by the colorful names given. In 1926, the federal government stepped in and replaced it with a numerical system. Old U.S. Highway 80 started at Tybee Island, Georgia and crossed the country entering Arizona near Douglas, continuing through Tucson, Phoenix and Buckeye, south to Gila Bend and exited the state in Yuma.

Its western terminus was San Diego.

EDUCATION Arizona is a right-to-choose state for education. Parents are provided the right to choose from a wide variety of school options, including public, charter, private, online or home education. Expanding school choice is the single best strategy for improving education for all children and the state of Arizona proudly supports this initiative.

The city of Buckeye is no exception.

ENVIRONMENT In spite of the heat and rain, the Sonoran Desert is one of the most diverse ecosystems in North America.

Among the wildlife living in the Sonoran Desert are mountain lions, bobcats, javelina, mule deer, coyotes, ring-tailed cats and even bighorn sheep.

A wide variety of desert plants ranging from mesquite and Palo Verde trees to brittlebrush and, of course, the mighty saguaro, happily call the desert home. Cactus and creosote flourish, along with a wide array of wildflowers making their annual debut in early spring and again occasionally after the beginning the monsoon.

The diversity and quantity of birds migrating through make bird watching one of the most popular activities. In Buckeye, you may see them at Robbin’s Butte Wildlife Area, and White Tank Mountains and Skyline regional parks.

WEATHER Living in the surroundings dominated by a desert climate is an adjustment for many new residents.

Buckeye sits in a microclimate somewhat different than Phoenix, with less rain than the Phoenix average, higher summer temperatures, cooler winter nights and more days of sunshine.

Average spring temperatures range from 48 to 72 F and summer temperatures range from 65 to 108 F. Annual precipitation is 7.6 inches, and the average is 36.4 days with precipitation. The annual sunshine average is 325 days. The monsoon season; which occurs between midJune and mid-September, brings powerful rain and dust storms.

Humidity ranges from a record low of two percent to as high as 78 percent, with the annual average at 50 percent in the mornings and 23 percent in the afternoons. July and August are the months of highest afternoon humidity due to monsoon.

Easing a Child’s Transition to a New School Education official offers tips on making a change

By Megan Duplain

Executive Director of Student Services Litchfield Elementary School District

C

hange is difficult for many people and can be especially tough on children. As a teacher, administrator and a boardcertified behavior analyst, I know there are countless factors causing a child to move homes or schools. With more than 11,000 students in the “A”-rated Litchfield Elementary School District, our student registration department may as well have a revolving door to accommodate the students and families who are coming and going.

Given our proximity to Luke Air Force Base, I’ve seen thousands of students come in as the new kid or have to say goodbye to dear friends.

Sometimes these transitions are tough. Below are some tips, based on my own parenting and professional experiences, to help ease your child’s transition to a new school.

PROMOTE HEALTHY CLOSURE Closure is an important way to build self-esteem by helping children feel valued and appreciated.

• If possible, help your child say goodbye to neighbors and friends.

• Honor your child’s feelings about the transition; simply listen to them.

• Find age-appropriate opportunities for your child to remain close to friends, like with FaceTime.

14

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

ENLIST YOUR CHILD IN THE SEARCH PROCESS Involving your child in the search for a new school can foster curiosity and excitement.

• Allow your child to delve into the school’s website with you.

• Visit prospective schools. Encourage your child to explore and ask questions. Ensure your child feels welcome and valued.

• Help your child develop new skills by playing the “What If ” game. Present hypothetical scenarios and help your child brainstorm potential solutions.

What if you miss the bus? What if you spill food on your clothes? What if you feel lonely?

PARTNER WITH THE SCHOOL FROM THE START A high school will care about your personalized experience and will share your goal of a smooth transition for your child.

• Join the school’s parent organization and volunteer at the school to become familiar with the people and culture.

• Develop a relationship with your child’s teacher by reviewing schoolhome communication and offering to assist when the teacher needs added support. Spread goodwill by periodically dropping your child’s teacher a note of thanks. Make sure the school has your correct email address.

• Teach your child how to get to and from school and inform the school of

your plans. If possible, practice the new procedures several times before the first day of school.

• Complete the student registration process as early as possible—and at least a few days before your anticipated first day of school. Sometimes there are strict rules and unexpected setbacks delaying your child’s start date.

CONNECT WITH YOUR CHILD It’s appropriate to feel nervous about your child’s transition, but it doesn’t have to dominate the experience. Spend your precious energy connecting with your child in a productive way and fostering socialemotional skills such as composure, assertiveness, and empathy.

• Build in a significant amount of time daily to talk and snuggle your child. Toss in a bedtime story for good measure. This fosters deep connections can help your child feel safe and loved for a lifetime.

• Create rituals. Research shows physical connections like hugs and fist bumps can boost your child’s brain activity to stimulate learning and self-confidence.

Pair this with warm smiles and a touch of humor for added benefits. Today’s best teachers offer students a personalized greeting every morning.

• Adopt a positive attitude. Adults have the power to shape a child’s perception.

Reserve your grown-up concerns for conversations with other adults and be intentional about helping your child choose a positive outlook.

As Easy as ABC

Sylvan Learning helps choose the right tutor

By Jennifer Dunnavant

Center Director, Sylvan Learning of Goodyear, Buckeye and Surprise

I

t is always a good idea for parents to talk to teachers and counselors at school. As professional educators, they will have a good idea of the tutoring services available—and what works.

Beyond this, are several key points for parents to consider— customization, experience, certification, communication and convenience. Here are easy tips for parents to use when choosing a tutor: 1. Make sure the instructor is licensed or certified. Teachers will need the proper qualifications to assess, diagnose and tutor to a child’s weakness.

2. Look for an instructor with experience teaching children the same age as your child.

3. Request an assessment. An individualized analysis of a student’s strengths and weaknesses can determine a child’s unique needs and help set goals. Also, insist on progress updates as a child passes through each step of the learning program.

4. Define your goals. Are you trying to keep your child from failing? Are you looking to challenge a child who is already doing well in school? Be sure your child’s instructor understands your objective and is skilled enough to meet it.

5. Find an instructor with specific expertise in the subject of your choosing. Just because someone is a math genius, it doesn’t mean he is qualified to teach other subjects.

6. Make a personality match.

Determine what kind of teacher the student has excelled with previously.

7. Ask teachers how they will help your child master a specific skill. A good instructor will require a child learn a specific skill before advancing to the next academic level. Find a teacher who will work with parents and teachers to create an individual program.

8. Obtain recommendations for instructors from family and friends.

For more educational resources for children in grades pre-K through 12, call (623) 932-5714 or visit sylvanlearning.com.

By Superintendent Jodi Gunning

A

s the proud superintendent of one of Arizona’s highest performing school districts, it is my privilege to introduce you to the “A”-rated Litchfield Elementary School District.

Litchfield schools are home to more than 11,000 preschools through eighthgrade students in four cities: Avondale, Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, plus more than 1,400 caring professionals who are committed to helping children succeed in school and life. Litchfield Elementary School District remains one of the largest employers in the growing region and we are keenly aware attracting and retaining quality staff cuts to the core of our 103 years of educational excellence.

Our average teacher salary is $60,170 and we are significantly above state and

national averages with a 92% teacher retention rate.

This is an especially exciting time because we opened the doors to our 16th school on August 5, 2019.

Belen Soto Elementary School is a gorgeous two-story building in the Goodyear community of Sedella.

With more than 900 students already, this community gem is named after the first college graduate of MexicanAmerican descent from the Southwest Valley, Belen Soto Moreno. She is a retired educator who graduated as the valedictorian from Litchfield High School in 1954. She and her large family are active in the creation of her namesake school, built on the same land where she grew up as the daughter of a migrant farmworker.

Litchfield Elementary School District is best known for providing academic rigor in a caring environment. While our students consistently rank among Arizona’s

most successful on standardized tests, we actively balance their academic achievement with exceptional social-emotional learning. With a steadfast commitment to “Conscious Discipline,” an evidence-based socialemotional learning framework, we are deeply committed to fostering positive school cultures where adults and children self-regulate, connect to the people around them, and solve problems in healthy ways. Our awardwinning staff is empowered to use daily rituals and strategic activities ultimately enhancing school safety, increasing staff retention rates and helping children feel safe and loved so they can access their brilliance.

We welcome students, families, employees, and all stakeholders to our growing Litchfield family. Our doors are open to willing partners who want to join us in our mission to connect, educate, and empower our Litchfield family and community.

Transform Lives; Donate with Vitalant Blood services organization saves lives

By Sid Lewis

Senior Director of Donor Recruitment Vitalant Southwest Division

F

ormerly known as United Blood Services, Vitalant exists to help people realize their life-transforming potential by offering convenient blood donation opportunities and sharing our expertise in transfusion medicine.

Founded and nationally headquartered in 1943 in the Valley, Vitalant is one of the nation’s oldest and largest nonprofit transfusion medicine organizations. With a 75year history as the first and largest blood center in the Southwest, Vitalant is the sole provider of lifesaving blood components for patients in 11 of 15 Arizona counties, including Maricopa.

More than 600 donations are needed each day to meet the needs of patients in the 62 Arizona hospitals depending upon Vitalant blood donors.

Blood donors help West Valley patients like Kellie who was just 10 years old when she was diagnosed with leukemia twice.

Kellie, whose last name we’re withholding for privacy reasons, experienced symptoms while on a weekend camping trip in Show Low and was air-lifted to the hospital, where immediate blood transfusions sustained her life.

A battery of tests confirmed Kellie’s life was being threatened by the most aggressive form of leukemia.

To survive, she relied on regular transfusions of red blood cells to fight anemia and platelets to offset the effects of chemotherapy.

Today Kellie is healthy and works as a nurse’s assistant in a Valley hospital thanks to 131 blood donors.

Vitalant operates the Goodyear Donor Center at 14270 W. Indian School Road, and regularly hosts blood drives throughout the West Valley. Become a

MILD PAIN

DISTRESSING PAIN

EXCRUCIATING PAIN

Q

What is neuropathy?

A Burning, tingling or numbness often leads to NO PAIN

DISCOMFORTING PAIN

INTENSE PAIN

a diagnosis of neuropathy, yet in many cases it’s not. Until recently, doctors were taught that neuropathy is neurological condition that only gets worse. In recent years, neuropathy is being viewed as more of a vascular disease (related to poor circulation) rather than a nerve condition.

What has changed in diagnosing neuropathy?

Q

A Now doctors are doing a more extensive

exam to evaluate circulation in the foot. At CiC

IS NEUROPATHY ABOUT TO MAKE YOU CRACK? If medications and surgeries haven’t stopped the tingling, pain and numbness in your feet—you may be one of the countless people who are misdiagnosed each year.

Symptoms of neuropathy often feel very similar to symptoms of poor circulation in your legs and feet. It’s time to stop playing the neuropathy pain game.

(602) 954-0777 AZFEET.COM ITSNOTNEUROPATHY.COM KERRY ZANG, DPM • SHAHRAM ASKARI, DPM DANIEL SCHULMAN, DPM • JOSHUA CADY, DPM KIMBERLY LEACH, DPM • BARRY KAPLAN, DPM

Foot & Ankle we work with a team of endovascular physicians who can evaluate if there are any blockages in the blood vessels below the ankle. A blockage affects circulation and, in many cases, may be the cause of neuropathy symptoms.

If there is a blockage, what’s next?

Q

A Patients undergo a thorough exanimation

and those that are candidates have a minimally invasive procedure performed in an office setting to help allow for better circulation.

What if you’re already being treated for neuropathy?

Q

A If you’re not finding relief from medication

or treatment, it may be time to consider the fact that it may not be neuropathy. A second opinion may be helpful to determine the cause of the tingling, pain or numbness in your feet.

When should someone seek help?

Q

A It’s best to make an appointment at the first

signs of a problem. But it’s never too late seek help. There are new treatments being developed all the time, so it’s important to learn if there is another option available for you.

Medical Services When You Need It

Hospitals, cancer centers and urgent cares are all here

By Carrie Snider

T

he West Valley is an ideal place to live, as we have all of the amenities of a big city without having to live downtown. Thankfully, because of the draw of Phoenix, the West Valley is chock full of stellar medical facilities and talent.

HOSPITAL/ER Abrazo West Campus, located at 13677 W. McDowell Road in Goodyear, opened in 2003 as a small community hospital but has expanded as the area has grown. Now it boasts a Level-1 Trauma Center; as well as orthopedics, interventional cardiology, stroke and vascular care, women’s health, roboticassisted surgery, spine surgery and obstetrics care.

An additional option for emergency services is the emergency room at Arizona General Hospital, 251 N. Estrella Parkway in Goodyear. It’s open 24 hours and offers the same services as other emergency rooms, but for inpatient services, those patients would be transferred to a different location. Visitors here can utilize emergency medicine, digital imaging including CT scanner and X-ray and ultrasound.

URGENT CARE For less serious emergencies, there are many urgent care locations in Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Avondale and Tolleson.

Whenever I meet with an anxious adult patient, I always explain to them: we are not only treating your mouth, we are also treating your anxiety. It is our goal to get a string of great experiences so we can start to build a new relationship with the dental office. Painless procedures, comfortable injections and modernday technology have allowed us to provide much better experiences at the dentist.

Where’s the Next Rest Stop?

Treatment is at the ready for BPH

By Dr. David LoPresti Comprehensive Integrated Care

Y

ou’ve always slept like a rock, but now there are nightly annoying trips to the bathroom and during the day an urgency to find a restroom. For most men, this is the first sign of an enlarged prostate. Left untreated these bothersome symptoms edge into your daytime routines. Meetings and car trips now need to be planned accordingly. The good news is there’s a new, minimally invasive treatment for this condition.

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? Symptoms include weak, slow or interrupted urinary stream, frequency

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

or urgency, difficulty starting or straining to urinate and getting up frequently during the night to urinate.

WHAT IS IT? It may be benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), which occurs when the prostate gland increases in size. It presses against the urethra making it difficult to empty the bladder completely.

While in many cases it’s BPH, the same symptoms can be an indication of more serious conditions, including prostate cancer, so it’s important to see a doctor.

WHAT’S THE NEWEST ADVANCEMENT IN TREATMENT? Prostate artery embolism (PAE) is an exciting breakthrough for treating enlarged prostates. While it’s a new procedure, it’s not a new technique.

Embolization reduces the bloodflow in a targeted area, which causes the target, in this case, the prostate, to

shrink.

There’s less risk, less pain, no hospital and shorter recovery than with traditional procedures.

ARE YOU A CANDIDATE FOR PAE? If you can’t tolerate the side effects, medications aren’t adequately controlling your symptoms, or you simply don’t want surgery - you may be a candidate.

By Dr. David LoPresti, MD INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY Interventional radiologists use image-guided procedures to see and treat problems in nearly every organ system in the body through a small nick in the skin. There is less risk, less pain, less recovery time and better results as compared to open surgery.

The most recent use of this technique is for an enlarged prostate.

What are the symptoms?

Symptoms include weak, slow or interrupted urinary stream, frequency or urgency, difficulty starting or straining to urinate, and getting up frequently at night.

What is it?

It may be benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) which occurs when the prostate gland increases in size. It presses against the urethra making it difficult to empty the bladder completely.

While in many cases it’s BPH, the same symptoms can be an indication of more serious conditions, including prostate cancer, so it’s important to see a doctor.

What’s newest advancement in treatment?

Prostate artery embolism (PAE) is an exciting breakthrough for treating enlarged prostates.

While it’s a new procedure, it’s not a new technique. Embolization reduces the blood flow in a targeted area, which causes the target, in this case the prostate, to shrink.

There’s less risk, less pain, no hospital and shorter recovery than with traditional procedures.

Dr. Ellie Wright, NMD NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIAN My purpose is to provide personalized service and natural medicine. I have been trained and licensed to practice both allopathic and naturopathic medicine. I work with my own line of supplements that are aiming to support cholesterol, digestion issue, diabetes, thyroid, hormones, sleep, mental health, bone health. I love to use plants, micronutrients and amino acids to balance neurotransmitters and hormones.

My approach is getting to the root cause of the problem and I use specialized tests to determine that. I provide medical service from my own practice Magnolia Personalized Medicine in Glendale where on the first visit I spend time at least one hour to get to know each patient.

As a Naturopathic Physician, I practice holistic/functional medicine that addresses the entire system.

I incorporate nutritional therapy, orthomolecular therapy, phytotherapy, gemmotherapy, homeopathy, hydrotherapy and mind/body therapy.

My goal is to educate and empower people to lead healthier and happier lives for this reason I do medical research and lecture around the world.

Are you a candidate for PAE? If you can’t tolerate the side effects or the medication isn’t adequately controlling your symptoms, or you don’t want surgery you may be a candidate.

Dr. Ramoun D. Jones, MD PAIN MANAGEMENT Dr. Jones has been treating chronic pain patients in the West Valley for over 13 years. His patients refer to him as compassionate, knowledgeable and very skilled in pain management procedures.

He completed his Doctor of Medicine from The University of Illinois Chicago in Peoria, Illinois and completed his residency in anesthesiology at the Houston Medical Center Branch at the University of Texas. From there, Dr. Jones finished his training in pain medicine at the MD Anderson Cancer Hospital in Houston, Texas.

Dr. Jones started practicing at The Pain Center in 2006. Since then, he’s treated thousands of patients with chronic pain.

Looking back on the past 13 years, he says, “When I see a patient stop suffering and start living, it makes every hour of my training worth it.”

When he’s not taking care of his patients at the West Valley clinic, Dr. Jones is most likely at home with his family, watching a basketball game or attending one of his kids’ sports events.

Pet-Friendly Options Abound in the West Valley Festivals, vet clinics and dog parks are aplenty

By Carrie Snider

N

ewcomers with pets will be pleased to find many animalfriendly options in the West Valley. From vet clinics to animal hospitals, to dog parks, and even a pet festival, the West Valley has pet owners covered.

Horse owners can keep their animals healthy by consulting Durango Equine Veterinary Clinic, at 20908 W. Durango Street in Buckeye. Owner Dr. Lloyd Kloppe, who has been in private practice since

42

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

1980, is the only Maricopa County veterinarian who is board-certified in veterinary reproduction. Aside from breeding services, Kloppe and his staff offer reproductive services, equine dentistry, lameness exams, ophthalmology and surgery.

Gentle Hearts Animal Hospital specialists in exotic pets like gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, iguanas, rabbits, snakes, mice, rats, pot-bellied pigs and hedgehogs.

Located at 14445 W. McDowell Road, Suite A-106, Goodyear, Gentle Hearts was started in 2017 by Dr. Pamela Boyd. She encourages pet owners to see her because the internet shares misinformation about caring for exotic pets.

Dog and cat owners will find many veterinarians and animal hospital options throughout the West Valley.

One such option is the husband and wife team—Dr. Matthew Hillebrand and his wife, Kristi—who started Dreaming Summit Animal Hospital several years ago. Located at 5115 N. Wigwam Creek Boulevard in Litchfield Park, the staff specializes in dentistry, radiology, cardiology, dermatology, flea control, medical assessment, spaying, neutering and soft tissue surgery.

For pet emergencies, BluePearl Pet Hospital is the area’s only 24-

hour emergency animal hospital. It’s located at 13034 W. Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard, Avondale, and is a fullservice hospital, with in-house X-ray, ultrasound and laboratory, as well as emergency surgery facilities.

DOG PARKS & FESTIVAL Folks move to the Valley for its weather. Hanging out at the dog park with your pup is the best way to enjoy it.

In Goodyear, dog owners can bring their pets to the more rural Roscoe Dog Park at 15600 W. Roeser Road, or the more centrally located Goodyear Community Park, 3151 N. Litchfield Road.

In Avondale, Friendship Park at 12325 W. McDowell Road is full of a variety of amenities for families, including a dog park.

Buckeye is home to Sundance Park at 22865 W. Lower Buckeye Road, which includes a dog park.

Finally, be sure to save the date for the West Valley’s annual premier dog event every November. The Wag & Tag Pet Festival includes activities for dogs, pet vendors, vaccinations, prizes, giveaways and treats. The event is hosted by Goodyear Parks and Recreation and is held at Goodyear Community Park.

Shop Local

The West Valley is peppered with cute shops and boutiques

By Carrie Snider

L

et’s face it: the Phoenix Valley is full of awesome shopping, especially the chain stores.

Most everything is here, there and everywhere, including Target and Kohl’s and World Market.

As a newcomer to the West Valley, you may be unaware that there are plenty of locally-owned and operated establishments who would love to serve you. From flowers to upcycled treasures to plants to yard décor, check out West Valley stores ran by entrepreneurs who live right around the block. By shopping local, you’ll find unique items and service-oriented folks. The best thing is your shopping dollars stay right here in the West Valley.

Flowers are available to purchase at several chain shops, but there is a reason this locally-owned and operated flower shop stays in business—they’re good at what they do. Thompson’s Flower Shop, 406 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 212, Goodyear, won the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce’s 2016 “Excellence in 44

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

Business” prize.

Not only that, but Thompson is passionate about being on the forefront of the latest trends and helping the local industry flourish. It is a member of The Arizona State Florist Association and other local floral groups.

As a newcomer to the West Valley, no doubt the weather had a hand in you wanting to move here. People around here love to live outdoors, and that’s where AZ Fountains & Garden Arts comes in. Located at 218 E. Main Street, Goodyear, the locally owned and operated business specializes in manufacturing a range of products such as concrete water fountains, wall fountains, chimneys, lion statues, pot benches, pillars and birdbaths. These aren’t cookie-cutter items—these are hand-crafted and unique items will make your new Arizona backyard a personal oasis.

While you’re focused on the outdoors, be sure to add plants to liven up your yard. Many people move to Arizona from out of state and are unsure about what to plant here and how to care for their plants.

Certainly, many people turn to popular chains or even the internet when purchasing items for their home. But for those who want something truly unique, head to Screws & Sparkles, 425 E. Monroe Avenue, Buckeye, or Grungy Galz at 540 N. Bullard Avenue, Goodyear.

Founded by Sophia Martinez, Screws and Sparkles features 30 artists’ works, including clothing, home decor, jewelry, honey, soaps, signs, furniture, and gifts. The shop also offers a maker space for creative folks.

Bridget and Jeremy Foster opened Grungy Galz in 2009, with a treasure trove of upcycled items, vintage items and home décor. The items here are creative: old whiskey barrels made into crosses, salvaged piano keys, old sheet music, lockers. It’s the perfect spot to find a unique gift for someone else or yourself.

While there are many shopping options out there, keep your eyes open for locally-owned shops and you’ll get merchandise and an experience you can’t get anywhere else.

Knowing Your New City

Three simple tips for learning your way around

By Laura Robb

Financial Adviser

S

ettling somewhere new can be challenging. Here are three ways to get better acquainted with your new neighborhood.

1. The Practical Approach: Take time to locate the essentials like grocery stores, medical clinics, drugstores and garages.

You should also investigate your municipality’s website. It likely contains information about municipal bylaws, garbage pick-up days and upcoming special events.

Many municipalities offer notification services for things like boil water advisories and roadwork updates. It’s a good idea to sign up for these if possible.

Also, keep in mind local newspapers and publications, like the West Valley View and the West Valley Newcomer’s Guide, are full of useful information.

2. The Recreational Approach: A great way to get to know your neighborhood is to look for places where you can pursue your hobbies.

Creative types can seek out arts and craft stores or classes offered by galleries and local artisans.

Voracious readers should find out where the nearest library is.

Many of them offer activities like book clubs, which are a great way to meet people who share your passion.

If you’re a fitness nut, make a list of gyms, pools and local

3. The Community Approach: Get involved in your community by joining your neighborhood association, your homeowners association or your condo association.

If you’re a parent with school-age kids, also consider volunteering at your children’s school.

These are great ways to actively participate in making your new neighborhood a better place to live and you’ll meet many new people to boot.

In addition to the three approaches mentioned, be sure to talk to your new neighbors. One of the best ways to learn about what’s in your area is by word of mouth.

Tasty Experiences

Flavors and unique experiences abound in the West Valley

By Carrie Snider

T

he West Valley is filled with fun and unique dining experiences.

Of course, there are the chain restaurants conveniently dotting the high-traffic areas. But be sure to also hunt for those extra special local places you can’t find anywhere else.

Here are a few in each city.

AVONDALE Flavors of Louisiana, located at 13025 W. Rancho Santa Fe Boulevard, Suite B103, is one of the highestrated restaurants in Avondale. Why? Probably because it’s one of the few places to find dunkin’ catfish, crab Landry, seafood gumbo, jambalaya and shrimp creole.

If you’re in the mood for a burger, try Laura’s Burgers and More at 60 E. Western Avenue. They take the regular burger and bring in local flavors with offerings like chorizo burger, Sonoran dog, green chile back cheeseburger and Frito pie.

Locals have long recommended Tacos Tijuana at 10220 W. McDowell Road. This place is the real deal when it comes to tacos piled with homemade goodness.

BUCKEYE Go to Historic Buckeye for a smalltown feel and home cooking. For a big breakfast or a lunch of burgers

or sandwiches, travel to the highlyrated Café 25:35 at 409 E. Monroe Avenue. The old town feel outside is carried inside, with its brick walls and intimate atmosphere.

Just down the street is another popular spot is Argentos Pizza, Pasta and Wings at 805 E. Monroe Avenue.

Argentos goes heavy on the Italian food with Stromboli and calzones, too.

Locals and visitors rave about the Mexican food found at La Fiesta Market, 7707 SW U.S. Highway 85, Suite 133. The menu includes its twist on tamales, pozole and carne asada, among other items.

GOODYEAR Saddle Mountain Brewing Company, at 15651 W. Roosevelt Street, is always busy—and for good reason. It not only has great food, like Irish eggrolls, pizzas and smoked Cubanos but award-winning beer and fun. It’s all about the experience here.

Another highly rated eatery in Goodyear is Sandwich Masterz, which serves lunch and dinner. Located at 380 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite A3, the restaurant has just about every sandwich possible—piled high with meat or vegan options.

For quick and inexpensive sushi, locals love Ah Hai Sushi & Grill at 831 S. Cotton Lane, Suite F100. The scorpion, Phoenix, Goodyear and

Cotton rolls are all nods to the area and offer unique combinations.

LITCHFIELD PARK After a long day, award-winning Ground Control at 4860 N. Litchfield Road is the ideal place for a beer and grub—and don’t forget the gelato.

The Wigwam is naturally a hot spot with its restaurant, Litchfield’s.

Located at 300 E. Wigwam Boulevard, this upscale-yet-casual eatery offers filet mignon, pork belly, Mediterranean sea bass and prime rib.

Yogi’s Grill is a unique Asian fusion restaurant at 5104 N. Dysart Road, Suite 110. Dishes like udon noodles, teriyaki bowls and yakisoba noodles add an Asian twist to the West Valley.

TOLLESON Tacos Calafia is relatively new to the West Valley, but it’s made an impact.

Located at 9897 W. McDowell Road, Suite 755, Tacos Calafia is perfect for flavorful quesadillas, nachos and tacos.

For good Chinese food, Blossom Asian Cuisine, at 8350 W. Lower Buckeye Road, Suite106, gets high marks for its offerings, including orange chicken, Mongolian beef, pork fried rice, and kung pao shrimp. Many locals are now regulars, as they keep coming back for more.

Longtime Dream Realized Pete’s Fish & Chips pushes past 70 years

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

P

eter McLane Grant Jr. saw small fish and chip joints throughout Europe when he was a World War II PT boat skipper. Due to illness, he was given medical discharge and moved to Arizona. It was here, he realized a longtime dream: to open Pete’s Fish & Chips.

Established in 1947, Pete’s Fish & Chips was founded as a wooden shack built by Grant. At the time, he sold one-piece fish and chips for 35 cents and two burgers for 25 cents.

To add a soda, Grant charged an extra 5 cents.

The restaurant continued to succeed, and by the end of the first year, three more stores opened. Now with eight locations, Pete’s Fish & Chips will celebrate 73 years in the business in 2020.

Pete’s Fish & Chips is family operated, and Grant’s four daughters helped out with restaurants as kids. Kathy Adams, the second of four daughters, and Pat Foster, the younger sister, took over the restaurant chain and promised to

Peter McLane Grant Jr. standing in front of his first location. (Submitted photo)

keep it family-owned.

“We’ve all decided not to go the franchise route. Having eight locations run by great managers works well for us,” Adams says.

“We have two locations run by my husband, Claude, and Pat’s husband, Dave. The other locations are run by managers who have literally grown up working for Pete’s.”

While the other two sisters operate their own businesses, Adams says whenever there are any big decisions to be made with Pete’s, she and Pat call a board meeting and all four sisters get together and have a discussion.

“We all share equally in Pete’s success,” Adams says.

Glendale Pete’s Fish & Chips manager, Steve Garday, and the family of Pete’s considers each other family.

“Our manager Steve is a homegrown manager,” Adams says. “We have watched each other’s children grow up over the years. His kids grew up working for him at Pete’s.

Steve, our manager, although not related, is considered part of our family.”

Garday has been working for Pete’s since 1984 and he considers not only the owners, but his staff family.

“I have had employees working for me for 20 years,” Garday says. “At one time, when my kids were teenagers, they all worked here, and working at Pete’s is more of a lifestyle for me instead of a job. I can’t see doing anything else for a living.”

Now surpassing 70 years, Pete’s menu, always simple, has progressed from its original fish and chips. It now offers shrimp, oysters, scallops, hamburgers and chicken, to name a few.

Pete’s has received many restaurant awards, thanks to its die-hard fans.

Glendale residents can visit Pete’s Fish & Chips, 5516 W. Glendale Avenue, and enjoy fast and quality comfort food.

For those who don’t know what to order, Garday says the most common items ordered are fish and shrimp.

“We have a seafood combo platter, which is one piece of fish with four pieces of shrimp and comes on a plate of fries with a couple cups of sauce and a large drink,” he says.

The combination can be upgraded to a larger portion for customers with a hearty appetite. Those whose orders total more than $50 will receive a Pete’s T-shirt.

Hometown Pride

Communities within the West Valley offer ‘extras’ for residents

By Carrie Snider

W

ithin West Valley’s cities, there are several neighborhoods that have become their own communities.

As newcomers will find, the Valley is full of neighborhoods offering different amenities, such as parks, swimming pools and trails. So, when looking for a home, many will not only consider the house itself, but what the area has to offer.

Here are just a few communities within the west valley: GOODYEAR Estrella is the largest sub-community in Goodyear. It started 25 years ago and has grown to encompass 10,000 residents. Why is it so popular?

Location, for one thing. It’s at the base of the Estrella Mountains, meaning great views. It’s not as close to the freeway as other communities, however the tucked away but still close feeling is a huge draw. There are 72 acres of lakes, schools within the community, pools, parks, trails, plus room to add more homes.

Palm Valley is a 9,500-acre community located north of I-10, between Loop 303 and Dysart Road.

One of its biggest draws is its 36-hole championship golf course. Plus, Palm Valley’s trails and parks make for 86

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

more outdoor fun.

PebbleCreek is a resort living at its finest. This community of about 6,000 active adults has 54 holes of championship golf, along with a variety of fitness centers and restaurants. It’s a pretty tight-knit community of retirees who love the weather and their neighbors.

park, as well as baseball, softball, football/soccer fields, and volleyball courts.

Sienna Hills is a newer community located north of I-10 at McDowell and North Verrado Way with views of the White Tank Mountains. Amenities include a pool, splash pad, fitness center and park.

BUCKEYE

AVONDALE

Verrado is a well-established community in the area. Probably one of the things standing out most at Verrado is the variety of home styles here, coupled with its treelined streets. Plus, you can’t miss its walking trails and over 70 parks. It’s built like its own city and even has its own events and concerts. Residents can also use its two pool facilities, golf course, and other sports playing areas.

Sundance is the perfect spot for those who want quick access to I-10 as well as golf and great views. It is a 2,000acre community located at Watson Road and the freeway near the White Tank Mountains. The Greg Nash designed Sundance Golf Club is at its center and is a draw for residents and the public. Besides the golf course, the Sundance community has a 30-acre park which includes playgrounds, walking trails, a dog

Garden Lakes is ideal for those who want to be minutes from downtown while in a waterfront community.

Located north of Thomas Road between the Agua Fria River and N. 107th Avenue, the community has two lakes, along with parks and walking paths. Garden Lakes has over 1,200 homes of various sizes.

Crystal Gardens is a community located on 72 acres of wetlands. It’s north of I-10 near McDowell and 107th Avenue, and includes 905 homes. This community has it all: lake views, walking paths, fishing, bird watching and bike lanes.

There are so many communities within the different West Valley cities, it’s worth the while to drive around and take a look. Each has its own unique aesthetic and each offers different amenities to make living in the communities a lifestyle choice.

Cotton Lane Resort Active Adult Community 55+ Amenities include: Clubhouse, Pet Friendly, Indoor Pool/Spa, Fitness Room, Billiards, Shuffleboards, Pickle Ball, Bocce Ball, Cards, Potlucks, Dances, Music, Jam Sessions, Bus Trips and much more!

Top-Notch Entertainment Westgate provides arena action and shopping sprees

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

L

ocated just off the Loop 101 on Glendale Avenue, Westgate Entertainment District is the West Valley’s premier entertainment destination and a place where people come together for dining, nightlife, shopping, community events, business, concerts, sporting events and celebrations of all kinds.

Below we’ve rounded up more highlights and Westgate information, including some things about the district that may surprise you.

ENTERTAINMENT Westgate is all about creating

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

great experiences. Those experiences are offered in terms of exceptional dining, shopping and events as well as business and residential opportunities.

In the past year, Westgate has welcomed six new tenants including Lumberjaxes ax-throwing venue.

And what might surprise you is it’s not all large chains. While we have some amazing national tenants like AMC, Buffalo Wild Wings and Yard House, Westgate is dedicated to supporting local and small business.

In the past year alone Arizona residents have opened The Lola, Low Key Piano Bar, Escape Westgate and State 48 Funk House Brewery. More

than a dozen of the venues are locally owned, including Fine Ash Cigars, Bride Studio and Westgate Nails & Spa. OFFICE The business side of Westgate allows the venue to be a part of the economic growth spurt happening in the West Valley and bring additional job opportunities into the area. Top tenants include Banner Health, DeVry, Lockheed Martin, RING, Terminix and William Ryan Homes.

EVENTS If you feel like there is always something going on at Westgate, you are probably right. Westgate hosts more than 300 events a year.

From weekly event series and live music to family fun nights and large signature events, there’s something for everyone to enjoy at the district.

We’ve also brought in several Instaworthy art installations including summer’s Umbrella Pop and February’s 700-pound heart-shaped sculpture.

The spring and fall seasons welcome the return of popular events such as Fitness in the District, Bike Night, Hot Rod Night and plenty of holiday happenings. Westgate also hosts a plethora of annual holiday festivities including a real ice-skating rink,

nightly snowfall, carriage rides, the Santa Hustle 5K & Half Marathon, free photo opportunities with Santa Claus and rocking New Year’s Eve parties, including the kid-friendly NOON Year’s Eve celebration.

The complex has also implemented a validation parking program to essentially offer free parking to guests who visit one of the participating restaurants or retail shops during major events.

THE ANCHOR Gila River Arena, home of the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes, is a state-ofthe-art, multipurpose facility.

In September 2014, the Arizona Coyotes, the Gila River Indian Community and Gila River Casinos agreed to terms of a nine-year partnership agreement includes the

naming rights for the venue. This is the first federally recognized tribal naming rights deal with a sports venue housing one of four major professional sports leagues in the country.

Owned by the city of Glendale and managed by ASM Global, Gila River Arena is home to not only the Coyotes, but spectacular entertainment events.

With two separate concourses on two seating levels, Gila River Arena’s open concourses are fan-friendly and provide fans with an open view of the ice. The arena also features an intimate seating bowl with all the modern amenities.

There are 87 luxury suites in Gila River Arena, including two tower suites and 12 party suites can accommodate large groups of up to 50 people. In addition, the Suite

Level Club consists of 400 upscale seats with unique club and dining opportunities. The BMW Lounge is an upscale private club, open exclusively to season ticket holders. The lounge is located directly behind the Coyotes and visiting team player benches, offering fans unique views of both the Coyotes and visiting team players as they enter and exit the ice.

Gila River Arena has hosted numerous world-class concerts and events since opening in December 2003. Some of the music industry’s top performers were welcomed to Glendale in the arena’s inaugural year including Prince, Rod Stewart, Toby Keith, Britney Spears and Usher.

The venue has hosted major acts and numerous sell-outs such as U2, Elton John, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, Kenny Chesney, Motley Crue, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry and Eagles.

Many more A-list acts and major up-and-coming artists have played the venue as well, including Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran, Shawn Mendes, Sam Smith, Bon Jovi, Madonna, Red Hot Chili Peppers, John Mayer, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.

Gila River Arena has also hosted a variety of live entertainment in recent years including Travis Pastrana’s Nitro Circus, Smuckers Stars on Ice, Street League Skateboarding, Nuclear Cowboyz, Professional Bull Riding and World Extreme Cagefighting.

The arena has brought a number of family-oriented shows to Glendale including the likes of Radio City Christmas Spectacular, Nickelodeon Story Time Live!, Sesame Street Live!, the Harlem Globetrotters and Cirque du Soleil.

Every February, Gila River Arena comes alive with “February Frenzy,” the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s high school tournaments and state championship for basketball.

A Deep History of Faith

Worship centers have long tenure in the West Valley

By Carrie Snider

D

ivine providence seemed to guide local residents to work on houses of worship, even as the cities were barely getting started.

Paul W. Litchfield, CEO of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company and founder of the city of Litchfield Park, helped build two iconic houses of worship in the city many years ago.

ST. THOMAS AQUINAS First, Litchfield worked with local couple Frank and Sara Serrano, who were celebrating Catholic Mass in their home. Together, they found the original property at Neolin Avenue and Wigwam Boulevard where they hoped to build a church to serve the people of the area, including the many Mexican Catholic workers.

Architect R. D. Johnson designed the church’s unique structure, and the cornerstone was laid on St. Thomas Aquinas on November 2, 1919.

Members and dignitaries celebrated the original building’s 100-year history.

Father John Muir is the pastor, joined by associate pastors Bryan Buenger and Anwar Zomaya at 13720 W. Thomas Road, Avondale. Info: stacc.net.

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

THE CHURCH AT LITCHFIELD PARK Next, Litchfield set his sights on helping Methodist members, including John and Mabel Padgett, who had been meeting in a cook-shack for many years and wanted a building.

They formally organized their nondenominational church, called The Church at Litchfield Park, and in the 1930s asked Litchfield to help them secure a site and a structure. But it was the Great Depression and finances were tight.

At the time, the Wigwam, which had opened as a place of refuge for Goodyear Tire executives visiting out of town but was now a public resort, but lacked one thing it really wanted: a bar. However, Litchfield was opposed to this idea. So, he struck a deal— yes for the bar if he could build the church.

After piecing together design ideas from a casino building in Mexico and the early mission in Santa Barbara, the new church was designed and ground was broken on September 10, 1939, at 300 N. Old Litchfield Road.

The 80-year-old building served as a beacon to many over the years, to many who drive around the area and

especially to those to take part in its services.

The Revs. Lynne Kammeraad and Kerri Sandusky now helm the church at 300 N. Old Litchfield Road, Litchfield Park Info: churchatlitchfieldpark.org.

FIRST SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH, BUCKEYE Further west, in Buckeye, there is another church boasting a long history. In the 1930s, members of Buckeye’s First Southern Baptist Church originally met in a building on Fourth Street also once housed the town jail. In desperate need of their own meetinghouse, church women gathered lava stones from the Hassayampa River area and brought them to Third Street and Eason Avenue. This site is where the “Old Rock Church” was built and was the community’s central meeting spot before it was replaced.

The senior pastor is Darwin Meighan, who preaches at 405 N. Third Street. Info: fsbbuckeye.com.

As the West Valley has continued to grow, churches have continued to dot its cities, a testament to the cornerstones of faith of local residents.
