Lasting Impressions’ interactive showroom is invaluable

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

A

t Lasting Impressions, the staff knows customers have a choice when it comes to window and door companies.

One thing to keep in mind: More than 80% of Lasting Impressions’ business comes from repeat or referral business.

“We take great pride in taking care of our customers and treat them like family,” said owner Mark Jacobson.

“During the past 20-plus years, we’ve completed over 8,500 customer projects.

Our knowledgeable and customer service-oriented staff, as well as our interactive showroom, have proven to be invaluable to the homeowner, remodeling specialist and contractors.”

Lasting Impressions carries quality products such as Andersen windows and doors, Milgard windows and doors, Velux skylights, Therma Tru fiberglass entry and patio door systems, TruStile interior doors and Emtek hardware.

Its 5,000-square-foot showroom at 44th Street and Thomas Road is the real showpiece. It boasts built-in doors and windows that customers can operate, so they can feel how they work.

“Each of the offices in the back hallway— we call it the ‘door hall of fame’—show a different type of door and hardware,” he said. “Customers can operate them and see them installed with different trim and hardware finish options, as opposed to just looking at a picture.”

TRENDS Jacobson said the last five years customers have been leaning toward large doors. The showroom has five types on display as well as stacking, bifolding and a large pocket door.

“Ahwatukee is one of the main areas that enjoys them,” Jacobson said. “But we’ve done it all over the Valley. They blow out the back of the house and put in a large stacking door. Bring the outside in!

“What you’re doing is creating a living space for family and friends and entertaining. You are really increasing 6

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

the living space of the house but utilizing the outdoor patio and rear yard. The homeowner is looking for a more open floor concept and a modern style versus traditional.”

As far as the new trends for interior doors, shaker style and barn doors have increased in popularity over the last few years. The store has many styles to choose from and a large selection of hardware on display.

WIDE RANGE OF QUALITY PRODUCTS Lasting Impressions is a full-service millwork shop, from “hardware to skylights—and everything in between,” Jacobson said.

Its products and services include: • Replacement windows and doors.

• New construction windows and doors.

• Large multislide, bi-folding and pocket doors.

• Entry, French and patio doors.

• Barn doors, tracks and hardware.

• Interior doors, trim and baseboards.

• Velux skylights and sun tunnels.

• Security doors and retractable screens.

As a family-owned company with an outstanding reputation, clients can trust that Lasting Impressions will deliver the superior customer service they should expect. The company will be around long after the job is completed to ensure satisfaction.

“We have established a window company with a difference, offering high-quality products with professional in-house installation at a competitive price,” he said.

TWO DECADES Lasting Impressions is celebrating its 22nd year in the family. Jacobson’s brother, Brian, and his partner purchased the company more than two decades ago from another local family.

Brian Jacobson lost his battle with cancer four years ago.

Brian and Mark were raised in Upstate New York in the baseball mecca of Cooperstown by parents who were

clothing shop owners.

“Since 1907, our family’s been in retail,” he said. “My sister had a large coffee shop in Albany and Cooperstown. My brother and I had bars, restaurants, and we had an interior/exterior painting company.

“We’ve been around business, clients and customers for a long time.”

The Jacobsons’ 94-year-old father, Richard, still works daily in his real estate office in California. He rides his bike 7 miles up and down the coastline every Sunday.

“He’s the last sole proprietor real estate office in San Diego County. He has a staff of three people and doesn’t plan to retire any time soon.”

Back in the day, Richard owned The Smart Shop, a set of three ladies clothing stores, and his wife, Joan, provided fashion shows poolside at a hotel in the 1950 and ’60s.

“My grandfather and grandmother started the stores in 1907 and ran them through the war back in those days,” Mark said. “They ran it from Easter until January 1, when they went to Florida. On the way back, they’d travel through New York City and pick up the new styles and trends for their customers.”

They traveled with customer requests on 3-by-5-inch cards. When they swung through New York City, they tried to fulfill these requests.

In the late 1960s, Richard founded The Village Squire, which sold jeans, jean jackets and other casual clothing.

“He had tweed jackets for men, dingo boots, Levi jackets, and the townspeople thought he was crazy,” he said. “He was told, ‘Who’s going to wear those blue jeans?’ Today, that is the trend. He built his business on casual wear, instead of formal wear. This was a small town. He didn’t want to compete with Clark’s Formal shop across the street.”

Jacobson honed his customer service skills and experience at his family businesses and through his father. He learned how important each customer is to the success of their business.

Communities give life and personality to the West Valley

By Carrie Snider and Taylor O’Connor

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, Glendale, Peoria, Litchfield Park, Goodyear and Buckeye.

While each of those seven cities is 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 NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

West Valley: • Tolleson is immediately west of the Phoenix city limits and south of 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 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 was 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.

• Glendale is 30 minutes from Phoenix, two hours south of Sedona and a five-hour drive from Los Angeles. Glendale is home to Luke Air Force Base, State Farm Stadium, Westgate Entertainment District and has its historic downtown area. The city was founded in the late 1800s with a current population of about 252,381.

With more entertainment facilities and restaurants moving to the area, the population grows with it, too.

• Peoria is named after former Union Army officer William J. Murphy, who worked as head of construction on the Arizona Canal. Upon the canal’s completion in 1885, Murphy returned to his home of Peoria, Illinois, to recruit families to move out West; and by 1897 the settlement was named after the Illinois town. Now, its population is 175,961 and offers a variety of activities to do with Spring Training facilities, 60 miles of hiking trails and the P83 Entertainment District.

Life is a lot different than it used to be—social distancing protocols are put in place and a lot more hand sanitizer is being used—but these cities still have a lot to offer. 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.

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, restaurant chains and retail outlets.

The southwest corner of Dean and Yuma roads 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’s 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 10

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

travel through Buckeye on Interstate 10, making the frontage roads an ideal location for 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 allyear, 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 exiting 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 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 the White Tank Mountain 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 2% to as high as 78%, with the annual average at 50% in the mornings and 23% in the afternoons.

July and August are the months of highest afternoon humidity due to monsoon.

Welcome to Peoria, Arizona The ‘jewel of the West Valley’ is open for business

By Scot Andrews President and CEO Peoria Chamber of Commerce

L

iving in and calling Peoria home provides a deep sense of pride and appreciation for the decades of leadership, conscientious civic planning and thoughtful economic development that has occurred long before our family relocated here with the Coca-Cola Company 15-plus years ago.

It is a privilege to lead the Peoria Chamber of Commerce as president and chief executive officer and represent the “voice of business” in Peoria.

As Peoria residents, we enjoy wideopen vistas, a burgeoning, vibrant and unique business community amidst amazing amenities such as Lake Pleasant, the P83 district, Old Town Peoria and the exploding Northwest corridor including four corners, Vistancia, Paloma Park and more.

The Peoria Chamber of Commerce is an advocate for business, encouraging the entrepreneurial spirit while proudly displaying our patriotism and promoting our diverse community with honor and integrity. The Peoria Chamber, with a membership of over 1,500 businesses, strives to create a climate of growth and business success in which all companies, regardless of size or industry, can prosper and benefit.

The Peoria Chamber of Commerce understands that to sustain a strong economic environment you must have a strong community. We are fortunate to have leaders, business owners, educators and citizens who realize that we all share in the responsibility of creating economic success, growth and positive lifestyle within our community. The Peoria Chamber’s primary goal is working to improve the quality of life for all businesses through a support network and commitment and contribution to the community good by its members, volunteers and committees.

Our volunteer committees—Peoria Business Alliance, Government 12

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

Affairs and Veterans Affairs—provide leadership, service, support and development for constituents across multiple business sectors, from manufacturing and retail to health care, telecommunications and more.

We are always seeking leaders and community volunteers to support our business community.

We are laser focused on supporting “shop, spend and socialize local.” Our entrepreneurship IQ and associated businesses are truly unique. The strength of a building is in its foundation. The same is true with small business in a community.

If the small businesses are healthy and prospering, then jobs, schools and lifestyle are unique, healthy and burgeoning. I think all of us have had good and bad experiences with small businesses. There are, in fact, “new” ventures or established offerings with changing owners, but the good by far outweighs the bad in Peoria. These are our five reasons I think supporting our small community with your dollars is crucial to our lifestyle, economy and overall quality of life.

Originality and cultural character: “The uniqueness and personality of local businesses is a reflection of the beliefs, hopes and dreams of the owners and community in which they live.” In a homogenized world, communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character have an economic advantage, lifestyle attractiveness and growth.

Community decision making, investment and sensitivity: “Locally owned businesses focus their solutions and services on their communities and those ever-changing needs relentlessly and with great sacrifice.” They care about causes in the community and their employees who live in the community and seek to give back to the community.

Large business, for the most part, doesn’t act local. Local ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.

Economic contribution to the local economy: Chains and national brands typically extract dollars out of the market and are resistant to invest in charities and local business associations without corporate red tape. Locally owned businesses channel a large share of their revenue back into the local economy. “Locally owned business is a growth engine for a community if the right balance between regulation and the environment is constructed by municipalities; and the economy, jobs, schools and services are the benefactors.”

Jobs, employment outcomes, unique career path and wages: Locally owned businesses create more jobs and, in some sectors, provide better wages and benefits than national brands and reginal chains.

Individuals benefit from local leadership for providing them career paths, without leaving their home market. “Local businesses tend to care deeply for their employees in a way that larger brands and chains don’t. Employees, in many cases, get operational experience and career pathing opportunities faster than in a larger brand business.”

Entrepreneurship and diversity of offerings: Healthy entrepreneurship in Peoria and the West Valley reflects economic innovation and prosperity serving as the means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class. A marketplace with many offerings is more competitive and lowers prices.

“As a small local business, each has the adaptability to select products/solutions based not on a national plan or strategy but on the interests, needs, wants and expectations of their local customers.

This creates unique buying and social experiences and rich environment for growth. Now more than ever, through this pandemic, our Peoria businesses and the continued health of our community need your dollars and patronage. Let us not lose what we have worked so hard to create for our community and families.”

How WV schools

PEORIA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT On December 4, Peoria Unified School

announced that cases for staff have accommodated social distancing District and students were approximately .05%.

By Taylor O’Connor

C

hange is difficult for many, and it can be especially tough on children.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted everything, including classrooms.

According to the National Association of School Psychologists, parents should stay calm, listen and offer reassurance. Discussing COVID-19 can increase or decrease a children’s fears. The best thing to do is to remind them of all the ways to stay healthy, how and why to social distance, and to stay positive.

Parents can also monitor the time children are watching TV or posting on social media. Kids need personal time to talk with their parents.

Here are some of the ways area school districts are making these changes.

As school continues, each district has its own route to take to apply social distancing, continue teaching and ensure student success. All West Valley districts have a page on their websites dedicated to the 2020-21 school year explaining plans for a safe and successful year.

AGUA FRIA HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT Agua Fria high schools resumed remote learning November 9, with one day a week for in-person office hours and extra assistance.

Parents can stay up to date on the

16

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

AFUHSD Parent Hub page, which has links to important information including a remote learning help form, state metrics, online fees, attendance policies and social-emotional learning resources.

The school district’s office is located at 1481 N. Eliseo Felix Jr. Way, Avondale.

For more information, call (623) 9327000 or visit aguafria.org.

BUCKEYE UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT The Buckeye Union High School District resumed distanced learning November 23 and created a COVID-19 page that includes information on free COVID-19 testing sites, meal services, technology, academics and athletics.

The district office is located at 1000 E. Narramore Avenue, Buckeye. Call (623) 386-9701 or visit buhsd.org for more information.

GLENDALE UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT The Glendale Union High School District sends out announcements with weekly benchmarks for COVID-19 cases and links to the school reopening dashboard and guidance page from Maricopa County.

Each high school follows these benchmarks to decide how to conduct distanced learning. Visit the high schools’ pages to learn about specific plans.

The district office is at 7650 N. 43rd Avenue, Glendale. Call (623) 435-6000 or visit guhsdaz.org to learn more.

All of the 30 schools had zero active cases.

The school district keeps a COVID-19 dashboard to provide information to parents and staff, along with a summary of cases at schools. The district updates this track and information throughout the 2020-21 academic year.

The district’s office is at 6330 W. Thunderbird Road, Glendale. Call (623) 486-6000 or visit peoriaunified.org for more information.

TOLLESON UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT All Tolleson high schools are in online learning until the end of the third quarter, Friday, March 12.

Officials decided to stick with online learning after an influx in positive COVID-19 tests among students and staff.

The superintendent keeps tabs on current events regarding COVID-19. The district office is located at 9801 W. Van Buren Street, Tolleson. Call (623) 4784000 or visit tuhsd.org to learn more.

Elementary school districts have similar information on their pages explaining COVID-19 policies and plans for distanced learning. For private schools and institutions, see the websites for individual plans.

EMCC: We are here for you

By Estrella Mountain Community College

C

OVID-19 has presented all of us with challenges we never thought we’d have to face.

Although this global pandemic has turned many aspects of our lives upside down, Estrella Mountain Community College is here to help when things get back in order, whenever students are ready to start or continue their college education.

EMCC has adapted to the new COVID-19 reality. The college now offers classes in the following formats— online on your time; live online; hybrid: in person and online; and in person.

Many students prefer to learn on campus, so the college is adding more in-person classes to the schedule incrementally to ensure the students’ and employees’ safety.

EMCC wants you to make it happen, and the staff is here to help every step of the way. Small class sizes and affordable tuition are just the beginning. Estrella

Mountain also offers an array of student services guaranteed to help you succeed.

From enrollment to graduation, we make sure you never have to journey alone.

EMCC has made all student support services available online, and many are available in person with an appointment.

And it has reopened the Computer Commons and Academic Success Center to students with an appointment.

Not sure what courses you need for your career path? Sit down with a knowledgeable academic adviser. Wondering how to pay for your education? Stop by financial aid and find out what your options are.

Calculus killing you? Head over to the Academic Success Center for tutoring.

Students who can’t get to campus before their test can take advantage of the 24-hour online tutoring services.

Have learning or mobility challenges?

Disability Resources is here to provide the resources, services and academic adjustments students need. Veterans looking to retool can visit the Veterans

Services Center for help with VA education benefits (and a whole lot more).

But that’s not all. EMCC offers students access to personal counseling and career planning. There’s even a food pantry and clothing closet for struggling students because EMCC knows how hard it is to concentrate in class on an empty stomach.

All of these services are entirely free of charge the moment you become an Estrella Mountain Lion.

It’s one thing to say EMCC is here to help. It’s another thing to mean it and follow through with it. At EMCC, the staff is committed to students’ success inside and outside the classroom, whether online or in person.

Registration for the next semester is underway. Learn more online at estrellamountain.edu. Don’t let COVID-19 stop you from achieving your educational goals. This is the right time to make your career dreams come true, and #WeAreHereToHelp!

Is body donation right for you?

By Heather F. Smith, Ph.D., Midwestern University

O

f all the choices that a person and their family must make, decisions regarding end of life are often the most difficult and emotional.

End-of-life choices are incredibly personal, and while some people may wish to donate their body to medical education or science, the choice of body donation is not for everyone.

People may resonate toward this option if they’ve been positively impacted by medicine and want to give back. It can also provide a sense of wellbeing to know that you’ll be contributing to the next generation of health care.

What questions should you ask to determine if body donation is right for you?

Is your family comfortable with the idea?

Those considering body donation should discuss it with their family.

Some programs will decline the donation if it goes against the family’s wishes. Family will also need to call the program at the time of death to request transportation.

Would you prefer to donate your body to a program focusing on medical education or research?

Having Leg Pain or Chest Pain?

Blood clots can affect anyone: Know the risks and symptoms

By Rahul Malhotra, M.D., FACC, FSCAI Arizona Heart and Vascular Clinic

I

n 25 years of practice, I’ve seen firsthand the sometimes tragic impact of undiagnosed blood clots. Mitigating your risk begins with understanding how clots can affect your body and when to seek medical attention.

A thrombosis is a clot that blocks the normal flow of blood through an artery or vein. Thromboses can occur anywhere in the body. When they occur in a deep vein, such as the veins of the lower leg, hip or thigh, they are known as deep vein thromboses (DVTs).

Blood clots cause 274 deaths daily, and DVTs affect 800,000 Americans annually. Neither age nor gender offer protection: You can develop a clot as easily at 25 as at 85. Most are the result of traumatic injury,

surgical complication or hormone replacement therapy.

Family history, smoking, pregnancy and some birth control medications also increase your risk.

Arterial clots can cause death to surrounding tissue, lead to heart attack, stroke or limb loss. DVTs can cause swelling and pain. Clots can be particularly dangerous when part of the clot breaks off and travels to the lung (causing a pulmonary embolism) or to the brain (causing a stroke). The resulting damage may lead to sudden death. Watch for symptoms: DVT • Swelling, cramping pain or soreness

WELCOME NEWCOMERS! Helping you find better health and to live a pain free life in a natural way.

in leg muscles.

• Reddened skin, warm to the touch.

• DVTs can also occur without noticeable symptoms.

PULMONARY EMBOLISM • Sudden shortness of breath.

• Chest pain that worsens when inhaling deeply or coughing.

• Lightheadedness, dizziness or fainting.

• Rapid pulse.

• Coughing up blood.

If you have any of the symptoms above, seek medical attention immediately.

Regular cardiovascular screenings can identify blood clots at an early stage, allowing for timely intervention to avoid potentially serious outcomes. If it’s been a while since you had a heart checkup, I encourage you to make an appointment today.

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, robotic-assisted surgery, spine surgery and obstetrics care.

Abrazo Arrowhead Hospital has been serving Glendale and the Northwest Valley for over 30 years and is known for its surgical services, cardiovascular care and women’s care. Recently, the facility was named Best Hospital by U.S. News & World Report for its work in five adult procedures and conditions: abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, congestive heart failure, colon cancer surgery, COPD and hip replacement. The hospital is located at 18701 N. 67th Avenue, Glendale. Call (623) 561-1000 or visit abrazohealth.com for more information.

An additional option for emergency services is 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 and digital imaging, including CT scanning, X-ray and ultrasound.

URGENT CARE For less-serious emergencies, there are many urgent care centers in Buckeye, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Avondale, Glendale, Peoria and Tolleson. Banner, Alliance and FastMed urgent cares have multiple locations, among other urgent care facilities. As a newcomer, take note of the nearest ones to you so you can be prepared.

Another option is Phoenix Children’s Urgent Care, which offers after-hours pediatric doctor availability. The one in the West Valley is called Southwest Valley Urgent Care and is located at 1665 N. Avondale Boulevard, Avondale.

In response to the pandemic, urgent care facilities are now doing on-site or drive-thru testing for COVID-19.

See any facilities’ websites to find more information about setting an appointment and the amount of time it will take for test results.

FAMILY MEDICINE/SPECIALISTS It would be hard to list all of the family doctors and specialists in the West Valley. From primary care doctors and pediatricians to gastroenterologists and physical therapists, many in the medical community are ready to assist. How do you choose? Ask your neighbors and friends, check out reviews online, and double-check preferred options through your health insurance for ideas.

CANCER TREATMENT Cancer is an unfortunate reality, but thankfully there is a treatment center in the West Valley to help.

Cancer Treatment Centers of America Phoenix’s comprehensive cancer treatment hospital is located 14200 W. Celebrate Life Way in Goodyear.

There, multidisciplinary cancer experts coordinate treatments and provide comprehensive cancer treatment tailored to the patient.

NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE Sometimes there are things going on in the body not showing up on tests but still hampering everyday life. Some people choose to take a more holistic approach to heal the body. There are several naturopathic clinics in the West Valley that can help.

Elixir Alternative Medicine, 9210 W. Peoria Avenue, Unit 4, Peoria, offers routes for any health issues, both acute and chronic. Call (623) 755-7700 or visit elixiralternativemedicine.com.

West Valley Naturopathic Center, 1646 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 200, Goodyear, specializes in helping patients with thyroid function, weight loss, food sensitivity testing, hormones and IV therapy. Visit wvncaz.com or call (623) 643-9598 to learn more.

Allure Natural Health and Wellness, 14535 W. Indian School Road, Suite 160, Goodyear, offers acupuncture, cupping, trigger point injections and regenerative services.

Call (623) 232-8052 or visit desertreignmedspa.com to learn more.

Anthony Pozun, DO, FACC

Rahul Malhotra, MD, FACC, FSCAI

CARDIOLOGY

CARDIOLOGY

Dr. Anthony Pozun, DO, FACC has been providing comprehensive and compassionate care to his patients in Glendale and the greater Phoenix area for over 13 years. His areas of expertise include the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias / atrial fibrillation, hypertension, peripheral vascular disease, venous insufficiency and syncope. His areas of special interest include management of critical limb ischemia and amputation prevention, complex coronary intervention, and treatment of varicose veins.

Dr. Pozun has performed over 5000 coronary and peripheral vascular procedures throughout his career, many of these being performed via the trans radial approach. He also has implanted hundreds of cardiac pacemakers on his patients.

Dr. Pozun understands the importance of establishing excellent and open communication with each individual he encounters. More important is the level of trust that is created between him and his patients.

Dr. Pozun did his fellowship training in cardiology and interventional cardiology at University of Arizona Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center / Carl T Hayden VA Medical Center in Phoenix Arizona. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at University of Arizona Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in 2002. He completed his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine at Midwestern University, Chicago College of Osteopathic Medicine in Downers Grove, Illinois in 1999.He is a graduate from Binghamton University in upstate New York.

Dr. Pozun is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine in the following sub-specialty categories: cardiovascular disease and interventional cardiology. In the future, he plans on obtaining board certification in vascular medicine and nuclear cardiology.

Rahul Malhotra, M.D., F.A.C.C., F.S.C.A.I. has more than 25 years of experience in cardiovascular medicine with expertise in advanced/complex coronary intervention, carotid artery, deep vein thrombosis management, peripheral vascular intervention and treatment of varicose veins. In addition, Dr. Malhotra is one of the leading experts in transradial coronary angiography and intervention. Unlike traditional methods of heart catheterization, where tubes are placed through a small incision made in the leg.

Dr. Malhotra can typically perform the entire procedure (often including fixing a blocked artery) through a small incision made in the wrist. This allows patients to get up and walk much sooner, and in randomized clinical studies, has shown a reduction in potentially life-threatening bleeding, particularly in women. Patients are usually in and out of the hospital the same day, within hours of the procedure.

Dr. Malhotra has published numerous articles and abstracts on cardiovascular disease management in respected peer-reviewed journals, including the American Journal of Cardiology. He has been extensively involved in ground-breaking clinical research. Currently he is involved in 17 clinical trials.

Dr. Malhotra has lectured extensively locally and internationally on a variety of cardiovascular topics at major medical conferences.

He is proud to have founded of a 50-bed heart hospital in New Delhi, India, which serves as a center of excellence for cardiovascular care in Northern India. Dr. Malhotra strives to do the best for all of his patients and excels in new techniques to improve patient outcome and comfort. He practices by the “Golden Rule,” treating each patient as he would want to be treated.

Dr. Malhotra did his fellowship training in cardiology and interventional cardiology at Brown University Integrated Hospitals, Miriam Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at State University of New York in Brooklyn, New York. He completed his Doctor of Medicine at St. George’s University School of Medicine in Grenada, West Indies. He is a graduate from Fordham University in Bronx, New York.

Let’s talk about side tables

By Luccia Cafiero

S

ide tables are perfect for additional storage, food and beverage space, or to just simply liven up a room’s design. Sometimes, we just need a little something extra to accent our new or old chair, rug or artwork. See how versatile side tables really can be with the options provided below.

Are you craving a cozy, vintage farmhouse feel? Then the pueblo white chairside table is the one for you. This chairside table has a rustic style with a hand-distressed, white finish accented by a distressed brown top for a look that captures the charm of an old barn.

If vintage farmhouse isn’t your thing, try a stylish and practical vibe with the white metal and wood accent table.

This table features a clean-lined design with a black metal base and a white, circular wood top. The compact C shape makes it a great chairside option.

Maybe you’re craving an aged look

and rustic charm with modern appointments. The Antique Entertainment Collection is crafted with select hardwood solids and veneers, and each piece is then painstakingly finished to add a warm, weathered feel. Storage drawers and glass doors add superior quality and convenient functions that can be appreciated without compromising the reclaimed vintage look.

Are you needing more form and function in a beautifully compact piece of furniture? Then the richly styled Laflorn chairside end table puts it all within your reach. It includes a flip-up top panel revealing a power port—perfect for keeping a phone or laptop charged.

Hidden twin cup holders and interior shelved storage are also a welcome surprise.

Shop these tables, and several other options, at American Furniture Warehouse’s stores or online at afw.com.

The Antique Entertainment Collection displays a vintage feel to your space.

Moving and Medicare: Helpful tips

By David Luna Co-founder, Connie Health

W

elcome to your new home! When Medicare subscribers move out of their coverage area, they may qualify to change their plan.

Here are four tips to help them make informed decisions about their coverage.

UNDERSTAND WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR COVERAGE Medicare Parts A and B will move with them. However, Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans and Part D drug plans are based on the areas in which they live. Check with the insurance plan to learn more.

Those who move within their plan’s service area have two options: • Keep your current plan; or • Choose a new plan that was not available

in their previous area. If they move outside their plan’s service area, they may lose their Medicare Advantage or Part D plan coverage. They can select a new plan during a special enrollment period (SEP).

PAY ATTENTION TO TIMELINES

• Enroll online. Those who are ready to make a decision can enroll online. Shop for top plans by visiting conniehealth.com.

FIND CARE

Subscribers who tell their plan before they move can switch the plan from the month before the month they move to two months afterward.

Those who tell their plan after they move may switch plans a month from the month they inform their plan plus two months afterward.

FIND A NEW PLAN There are two main ways to do it.

• Speak to a licensed Medicare agent.

They understand the local health care landscape and can help folks make the right decision. The Connie Health team can meet in person or virtually. Those who enroll with the Connie Health

Moving into a new area also calls for a new doctor and facilities. Here’s how to get help.

• Ask your agent. It’s possible to purchase through an agent, whose recommendations are often based on what will provide the best access to care.

• Ask around. Ask friends and family for recommendations.

• Provider directory. After purchasing insurance, go to the company’s doctor portal or speak to customer service.

Connie Health is here to answer your questions. Call Connie Health at 623223-8884 (TTY: 711).

Knowing Your New City

Three simple tips for learning your way around

By Laura Robb

Financial Advisor

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 sports leagues.

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.

Tommy Hentze’s promise to his father

By George’s Sons Plumbing

T

ommy Hentze is living his father’s dream.

Two weeks before his dad died, he made Hentze promise someday he would start his own plumbing company.

“That wasn’t all of it, though,” Hentze said. “I also had to do it his way—the right way. I had to treat people the right way and repair their plumbing the right way.”

Hentze wanted to always be understanding and not cut corners.

“I made him that promise,” Hentze said.

In February, he earned his plumbing and business licenses and founded George’s Sons Plumbing, named after his late father.

“My goal now is to help people when unexpected plumbing repairs pop up, which is usually at the worst

possible time,” he said. “The way I approach and run my business is simple—be understanding to people’s situations, be honest with our diagnosis of the plumbing issue and be fair with our pricing to repair it.”

Hentze’s goal is to leave every customer with a positive experience.

He looks forward to seeing repeat customers and those who were referred to him.

“We aim to be your go-to plumbing company forever. Period,” Hentze said.

“Next time you or someone you are close with needs a plumber, call George’s Sons Plumbing at 623-3997666.

“We can tackle any plumbing need you have. Give us just one opportunity and we are confident that we will be your go-to plumbers for life.”

Tommy Hentze founded George’s Sons Plumbing LLC after his father, George, died.

ARIZONA GARAGE DOOR REPAIR GURU

Wouldn’t you rather be doing something other than cleaning?

We are looking for homeowners who love the smell of a freshly cleaned home. A homeowner who takes pride in their surroundings and appreciates the efforts put into their personal environment. If you’re that person, at Home Cleaning Centers of America, we provide in-home professional consultations.

We are not the “one bottle cleans all” cleaning service.

We take into consideration the 3 elements of a home:

Wood • Stone • Metals

Then we design a home cleaning plan based around:

The Elements • Contents • Square Footage Details and Sanitizing is a priority at Home Cleaning Centers of America!

We supply our staff with professional grade, OSHA approved products that will help disinfect your home without damaging any surfaces.

Our crews are thorough, careful and efficient. At HCCA every area in your home that can be cleaned and sanitized is touched. We hand wash the kitchen and bathroom floors. In every room, we make sure that your home is inviting and presentable. That’s the HCCA promise!

Call us for your in-home consultation at 623.248.1928

Tasty Experiences

Flavors and unique experiences abound in the West Valley

By Carrie Snider and Taylor O’Connor

T

he West Valley is filled with fun 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 highest-rated 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. Dine-in and takeout options are possible. Learn more by calling (623) 935-2357 or visiting the website at flavorsoflouisiana.com.

Nothing Bundt Cakes brings joy to the WV

T

o bake the perfect recipe, you need the perfect ingredients.

That’s what Nothing Bundt Cakes founders Dena Tripp and Debbie Shwetz were for each other.

In 1997, they joined forces— or, better yet, kitchens—to bake cakes for their friends and family. Their cakes were delicious and unlike anything anyone had tasted.

Thanks to such flavor, their friends and family increasingly requested they entertain.

They quickly realized their side project could be something more. The void in the baking world was waiting for these delectable cakes that didn’t

compromise on ingredients. Real eggs, butter, cream cheese—nothing was too good to achieve perfection. And perfection is that decadent, slowly melting bite of cake we all know and love.

In October 2012, Nothing Bundt Cakes’ West Valley owners, Rob and Barb Kelly and Donna Zwarych, opened their doors for the first time in Glendale. They desired to bring joy to the community through their delicious range of cakes, Bundtlets and Bundtinis. Fast forward eight years later and Nothing Bundt Cakes in the West Valley has grown to three locations, including Goodyear and Surprise. It has become a westside staple for families and businesses

who wish to treat themselves and their clients and guests with mouthwatering, premium-quality desserts.

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 where 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 74 years in the business in 2021.

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 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 said.

“We have two locations run by my husband, Claude, and Pat’s husband, Dave.

The other locations are run by managers that have literally grown up working for Pete’s.”

While the other two sisters operate their own businesses, Adams said 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 said.

Now surpassing 70 years, Pete’s menu 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.

Hometown Pride

Communities within the West Valley offer ‘extras’ for residents 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:

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 more outdoor fun.

PebbleCreek is 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.

GOODYEAR

BUCKEYE

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-stillclose feeling is a huge draw. There are 72 acres of lakes, schools within the community, pools, parks, trails, plus room to add more homes.

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.

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 Nashdesigned 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 30acre park that includes playgrounds, walking trails, a dog 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.

The city of Peoria embraces the community and innovation

By Kristina Perez Marketing and Communications Manager City of Peoria

O

nce known for its attractive bedroom community characteristics and family values, Peoria is now known for so much more. In the last decade, Peoria has transformed into a city full of innovation, new technology, high-quality amenities, sustainable practices and family-friendly fun.

To vacationers, business owners and smart homebuyers, Peoria has long been one of the most desirable places to live, work and play. Peoria is an active, sustainable, future-ready community that provides a high quality of life that attracts thousands of new residents and visitors every year. Originally just 1 square mile large, Peoria now spans across Maricopa and Yavapai counties.

At approximately 180 square miles in area, Peoria is currently the fifthlargest city in land area in the Phoenix metropolitan area, with more than half of the city still left to develop.

The high standard of living residents have become accustomed to includes award-winning neighborhood and recreation services and innovative programs like the Robo Ride autonomous shuttle. Peoria has the state’s second-largest lake, Lake Pleasant, and the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres Spring Training facility. Peoria has 35 parks and 25 miles of trails for families and outdoor enthusiasts. Besides the unmatched amenities and beautiful Sonoran Desert features, residents also enjoy one of the state’s highestperforming school districts and a lifestyle worth mentioning, and honoring, in high-profile, national publications like Money Magazine, Forbes, USA Today and Wallethub. In fact, Money Magazine recently named Peoria the Best City to Live in Arizona and among the top cities to live in the United States.

In the heart of the city rests the historic district, Old Town Peoria, and a vibrant activity and business hub, the P83 Entertainment District. Old Town Peoria was the city’s original main street, with many familyowned businesses lining the streets between 83rd, Peoria and Grand avenues. Today, it is undergoing a revitalization, attracting new businesses and drawing residents and visitors to the area for shopping, new events, art, musical performances and live theater. P83, which includes the Spring Training facility, already has a thriving dining and entertainment scene, but now it has become the place for new development and investment.

Peoria is not just the place to live and play. It is also the place for highwage jobs, economic development, entrepreneurship, small businesses and advanced industries. And, Peoria has an educated, diverse workforce. This workforce is committed, creative and always finds solutions to help residents.

One example of such dedication and talent was during the COVID-19 pandemic. The residents, local business community and the city of Peoria came together to help those struggling by making phone calls, visiting, offering help, adapting essential programs and services to virtual platforms, and providing services and financial assistance to struggling businesses.

And sometimes all that was needed were words of encouragement. Peoria residents stepped up by writing kind messages, making cards for seniors and front-line workers, and spreading the word about shopping and dining at local establishments to support the community.

With programs like smallbusiness grants and loans to help business owners in need during the pandemic and initiatives like the city’s partnership with Arizona State University’s J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship + Innovation Institute for Peoria Forward and the Maricopa Small Business Development Center, there is no question that Peoria is the place for work as well. With these partnerships and programs in place and with the support and active membership of the Peoria Chamber of Commerce, the business community has been able to flourish, even during such challenging times.

Peoria is a world-class community that does not take a cookie-cutter approach to anything. With strong leadership at the helm, a solid fiscal position, an emphasis on smart growth, and balance between the built and natural environments, Peoria will continue to thrive.

Glencroft Center for Modern Aging is excited to announce that its nationally recognized Parkinson’s Immersion Program (PIP) has a golf division, PIP Golf.

The exclusive PIP Golf program is dedicated to providing the very best in golf-specific Parkinson’s training.

Westgate

The West Valley provides arena action, racing and shopping sprees

By Christina Fuoco-Karasinski

T

he West Valley is filled with high-quality entertainment destinations that range from arena action and auto racing to shopping.

WESTGATE ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT Located 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,

Westgate 116

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

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.

Westgate is all about creating great experiences. Lumberjaxes’ ax-throwing venue is taking safety precautions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, including increased cleaning and sanitizer stations.

And what might surprise you is it’s not all large chains. While it has amazing national tenants like AMC, Buffalo Wild Wings and Yard House,

Westgate is dedicated to supporting local and small business. The Lola, Low Key Piano Bar, Escape Westgate and State 48 Funk House Brewery are among the newer tenants. More than a dozen of the venues are locally owned, including Fine Ash Cigars, Bride Studio and Westgate Nails & Spa. 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.

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

Live entertainment has filled the arena as well, like Travis Pastrana’s Nitro Circus, Smuckers Stars on Ice, Street League Skateboarding, Nuclear Cowboyz, Professional Bull Riding and World Extreme Cage Fighting.

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.

Although the majority of events have been rescheduled for 2021, the Gila River team has enforced social distancing and sanitation protocols to ensure everyone’s safety. Cleaning staff has been added to each event to wipe down every surface throughout the arena. Extra soap dispensers are in restrooms, and it boasts hand sanitizing stations For more information about Westgate Entertainment District, visit westgateaz.com.

NASCAR’s crown jewel in the desert

By Phoenix Raceway

H

ome to the 2021 NASCAR Championship Weekend, Phoenix Raceway has been the premier motorsports venue in the Southwest since 1964 and hosts two NASCAR race weekends each year.

In November 2020, all eyes were on the Valley of the Sun as Phoenix Raceway hosted the NASCAR Championship Weekend for the first time, crowning four first-time champions, including Sheldon Creed in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, Austin Cindric in the NASCAR Xfinity Series and 15-yearold Jesse Love in the ARCA Menards Series West.

The sport’s most popular driver, Chase Elliott, etched his name in the record books when he hoisted the Bill France Cup after taking the checkered flag in the NASCAR Cup Series championship.

In 2021, the spring event weekend,

March 12 to March 14, kicks off the race season at Phoenix Raceway, featuring the Cup Series, Xfinity Series and ARCA Menards Series. For only the second time in the sport’s history, Phoenix Raceway will host the NASCAR Championship Weekend, November 5 to November 7.

During the three-day event, champions will be crowned in the Cup Series, Xfinity Series, Camping World

Truck Series and the ARCA Menards Series West.

Phoenix Raceway also hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including corporate meetings and conferences, charity events, holiday events, sport and endurance competitions, driving schools and Segway tours.

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.

Currently, The Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix created guidelines for mass including limiting capacity to 50 people, requiring face masks for attendees, and encouraging all those who don’t feel well to stay at home.

There is a reservation system in place for Christmas Mass.

Father John Muir is the pastor, joined 122

WEST VALLEY NEWCOMERS’ GUIDE

by associate pastors Bryan Buenger and Anwar Zomaya at 13720 W. Thomas Road, Avondale. Info: stacc.net. Call: (623) 935-2151.

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 opened as a place of refuge for Goodyear Tire executives visiting out of town but was now a public resort, lacked one thing: 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.

Attendees must register for worship services prior to attending and are able to register two weeks in advance. If registration is full, people can watch the livestream on Facebook or YouTube.

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

Call: (623) 935-3411.

FIRST SOUTHERN BAPTIST CHURCH, BUCKEYE Farther 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 that 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.

Look toward Central Christian Church for community

By Richelle Kikuji

Find your community and the place where you belong at Central Christian Church.

A

s you acclimate to your new neighborhood, are you looking for community? New friends and a place to be known and belong? One of the best places to find community is church.

Entering Central Christian Church, it’s easy to notice the cross is on its side. No, that’s not because the wind blew it over. It’s because we follow God’s call to “take up our cross daily and follow Him.” The cross on its side is a visual reminder that there are more important things in the world than just getting what we want, buying more stuff, and living a life that’s all about our own desires.

God wants more than that for you.

God’s church was built to be a light in a dark world; to be a place where people are welcomed, accepted and

loved. A phrase you’ll often hear around Central is “Love Beyond.” We know God has called us to love others beyond our comforts, beyond our story, beyond our differences, beyond our fears.

Life has so much purpose and meaning when you see the impact

your love can make on a hurting world. Those looking for a place where they can grow and find more meaning and purpose in their life are invited to Central Christian Church. There are five local campuses, including one in Glendale. Check out the online services at live.centralaz.com.
