Business Briefcase byShaneMcOwen

IN THE BIZ

Welcome to the Business Briefcase, readers! Glad to have you reading these fine pages.

I do have one question to ask. Who’s the one who brought all the humidity from the south our way the last week or so?

As Dwight from The Office once said, I’m not mad, I just want to know who it is so I can punish them.

I am kidding, though. I’m 90 percent sure that no one person is responsible for any weather patterns, unless the meteorologists on television have powers I’m not aware of. If that’s the case, I might have to consider a career change.

I, for one, am ready for the humidity to turn into actual rain. Fingers crossed!

Let’s get started with the business news.

Catitude Gallery and Studio, at 404 E. Western Ave., in Avondale, has closed for the summer and will reopen at the end of September.

In the meantime, the gallery has partnered with the city of Goodyear to continue two programs into the summer months at the Goodyear Community Center, 420 E. Loma Linda Blvd.

Follow Your Art Jr. classes are being held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday at the Goodyear Community Center. The free classes focus on drawing, painting and design portfolios for high school juniors and seniors planning on continuing their art education in college.

Catitude is also partnering with Goodyear to provide two sessions of Creative Arts for the Aging classes. Classes take place from 2 to 3:30 p.m. every Tuesday. The first session began July 11 and runs through Aug. 1, and the second goes from Aug. 8 to Aug. 29.

Grijalva rallies town hall against GOP healthcare plan Congressman says officials have ‘gotten an earful’ during public debate byGlennGullickson

CONGRESSMAN Raúl M. Grijalva holds a healthcare town hall July 8 at Westview High School in Avondale to discuss ongoing efforts in Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act. To see all photos from this shoot, go to www.westvalleyview.com/pictures.

The debate over healthcare policy arrived in the West Valley last weekend with a town hall sponsored by Democratic Rep. Raul Grijalva, who said Congress should abandon a Republican plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. As Congress returns to the issue this week after a July 4 recess, Grijalva said he was optimistic that representatives have heard citizens’ complaints about the plan that has passed the House and is under consideration by the Senate.

“Everybody has gotten an earful of what the public wants,” Grijalva said at the public meeting July 8 at Westview High School in Avondale.

Grijalva, who represents District 3, which covers parts of the West Valley, said Congress should “scrap” the current proposal and start over to work to improve the Affordable Care Act. “There are fixes that the Affordable Care Act needs,” he said about the signature legislative achievement of President Barack Obama also known as Obamacare.

Grijalva claimed the Republican alternative that studies suggest could end insurance coverage for millions is not a healthcare plan but a political move to provide tax relief for those earning $1 million or more.

“It has little to do with healthcare and everything to do with a political agenda,” he said. “It’s a shift in wealth and it’s a tax cut agenda.”

He said the plan would mean rising costs for working families while undercutting benefits and slashing Medicaid programs that had been expanded under the Affordable Care Act. Also speaking at the town hall, Dana Naimark, president of the Children’s

HEALTHCARE From page 2

Action Alliance, said proposed cuts to Medicaid would mean 65,000 more children in the state becoming uninsured and putting at risk 2 million children, seniors and disabled covered by the state’s AHCCCS program.

She said the impact to the state budget could pit healthcare against education funding.

Bryan Howard, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Arizona, said the proposal would prohibit women and men who get healthcare through AHCCCS from going to the seven clinics in the state where the organization provides annual exams, STD and HIV testing, birth control and abortion care.

“This bill needs to be stopped so we can have a conversation about the changes that are needed,” Howard said.

With several Republicans refusing to support the Senate bill, Grijalva predicted it would be difficult for the GOP leadership to get 50 votes necessary for passage.

He said a recent proposal to repeal Obamacare now and replace it sometime in the future won’t work.

“At the end of the day, they can’t seem to get anything done,” Grijalva said of Republicans, who made repealing the Affordable Care Act a major issue in the 2016 election.

But Grijalva encouraged people to express themselves on healthcare.

“The pressure has to intensify,” he said.

Grijalva called on Arizona Sens. John McCain and Jeff Flake, both Republicans, to reveal their positions on the healthcare bill.

“At some point, tell us, do you support the bill that’s in the Senate?” he said.

Grijalva also took to task his Republican colleagues who he said have not met with the public about the issue.

“Part of the responsibility is to listen to hear maybe opposing viewpoints,” said Grijalva, noting that he had done just that during “brutal” town halls before the Affordable Care Act was approved in 2010.

While Republican lawmakers across the country have faced angry constituents at town halls this time around, Grijalva’s meeting was peaceful, drawing about 100 people who appeared to generally agree with the congressman.

Of about a dozen citizens who spoke, only one came out against government involvement in health insurance.

Others told stories about losing family members who died without health insurance.

Grijalva said “the next logical step” is a House bill known as “Medicare for all,” which would drop the age eligibility for the government insurance plan that covers those 65 and older.

Care1st Resource Center reopens Viewreport The Care1st Avondale Resource Center reopened after a malfunctioning cooling system closed the building for more than two weeks.

The center that houses human service programs at 328 W. Western Ave., Avondale, reopened July 7.

The center had been closed since June 21 when the building’s cooling system failed just as record-setting heat hit the region, making the building possibly unhealthy and unsafe for customers and staff.

While the building was closed, some operations were moved to the Avondale Community Center, including Adelante/

WIC, Helping Families in Need, the Community Action Program and the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging program.

All programs and services offered at the resource center resumed this week.

Construction starting soon on MC85 Officials to widen road over next 3 years byChrisCaraveo Improved traffic flow is coming to a southwest Valley road.

The Maricopa County Department of Transportation plans to begin widening MC85 in September, beginning with the area between 75th and 95th avenues.

MC85 is an east-west route trucking near a mix of industrial, agricultural and commercial distribution and warehousing properties.

The cost of construction is estimated at $21.5 million, funded through the

County Transportation Improvement Program.

The widening projects aim to increase capacity, improve safety and make roadway operations more efficient.

“As development increases, the roadway improvements become even more necessary to provide the desired level of service with safe traffic operations,” said Nicole Moon, the communications branch manager for MCDOT. Officials have monitored and studied MC85 since the 1990s. According to MCDOT’s Historical Counts of county roads, 20,078 vehicles use the road near 83rd Avenue on a daily basis.

The first leg of the East Corridor project includes widening MC85 to five lanes with a center turn lane or raised

median. Officials will construct sidewalks and drainage basins, and upgrade traffic signals, including one at 79th Avenue.

“Splitting the MC85 project into two segments allowed MCDOT to begin construction of the first segment at an earlier date since we were able to coordinate having the utilities relocated between 75th Avenue and 95th Avenue more quickly,” Moon said. “Utility coordination is currently underway for the second segment from 107th Avenue to 95th Avenue.

According to the MCDOT website, construction of the second segment is expected to start in the spring of 2019. The west corridor — MC85 in Buckeye and Goodyear — will be widened in 2018.

Verrado baseball coach moving on Mark Flatten steps down to take job in pros byCaseyPritchard For two seasons, Mark Flatten did great things with the Verrado baseball program.

Now, he’ll look to do the same for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Flatten stepped down as Verrado baseball coach to take a job with the Pirates’ organization as a scout for the Arizona Rookie League.

“I have a buddy who is pretty high up with the Pirates, and he’s been trying to get me to do stuff with them,” Flatten said. “I’m not going to move to Florida — I can’t be gone for six to eight months out of the year — so they came up with a spot they thought I couldn’t turn down, and they were pretty much right.”

As a scout for the Arizona League, Flatten doesn’t have to relocate. That was important to him so that he can spend more time with his family.

“I don’t travel, there’s no overnights, I’m home during the day with my kids,” Flatten said. “It’s pretty much like being on summer vacation from school, except I go to work in the evenings.”

Flatten has worked in professional baseball before, spending time with the Toronto Blue Jays as an amateur scout from 2009 to 2010. He’s also worked part time for both the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers in player development.

“It’s basically coaching,” Flatten said of player development. “I was like a fourth coach on the Arizona Rookie League staff for both teams. It’s lots of BP (batting practice), lots of fungos, lots of early work. I wouldn’t call it grunt work, it’s kind of like you’re adding a helping hand.”

Working in player development was great for Flatten on multiple fronts, he said.

“I got to coach high school, be with the kids, do a lot of stuff I really love to do, but also kind of kept my foot in the mix at the highest level, and not only enjoyed what I was doing, but got to learn and bring that information back to our kids,” Flatten said. “It was kind of a win-win for me.”

Keeping his foot in the door with the pros helped land Flatten the scouting job, where his responsibilities include keeping tabs on players from around the Arizona Rookie League that the Pirates may someday want to invest in.

“That would be the ultimate part of it,

trades and deals,” Flatten said. “Some of it, at some point, could be: here’s a bigtime player in an organization, not necessarily a trade piece, but they want information on him from the time he gets into professional baseball, and as they travel up the ranks, things will happen at each step, but there might be a reason someone comes back to three or four years ago and says, ‘Oh, we’ll look at that,’ or, ‘Here’s the information we had then.’”

Flatten said the information he provides could also be used by the team to put a red flag on somebody, or the team might like a player, but wants to see how the player changes as he gets older. The team also looks to see if someone could potentially benefit from a change in scenery.

“Maybe he’s struggling in an organization, but as a scout with your organization, you might think, ‘Hey, within our organization, I think this guy could reach his potential we thought he might have,’” Flatten said. “All that stuff is kept, so that could be three, four years down the road when another organization might give up on the guy.”

The Pirates don’t have a team in the Arizona Rookie League, since it’s based off of spring training clubs and the Pirates train in Florida, but that’s part of the reason it was a win-win situation for Flatten, he said.

“The Pirates wanted a lot of information, as much as they could get, so they wanted someone full time,” Flatten said.

“They didn’t have to move somebody here, relocate someone, and for me, I’m doing a job I’m capable of handling.”

Flatten creates his own schedule for which teams he visits and when, he said.

Last week, he spent five days covering the Cleveland Indians’ Arizona Rookie League affiliate.

“Then, I’ll move however I want to set up my schedule, go through every team, and then circle back at the other end for the two and a half months the season runs.”

Coaching at Verrado Flatten leaves Verrado after two seasons and a 48-16 record. He led the Vipers to the playoffs in consecutive years, each time earning a first-round bye, but they were unable to advance to the double-elimination portion of the tournament.

“My experience was great,” Flatten said of Verrado. “If I was able to get a

teaching job on campus right away, I think things may have been a little bit different, but the stress of running such a high profile program, or in our world, how hard we work at making it a great place for the kids and trying to do all the right things — and having your time split because of teaching somewhere else — in that aspect, it kind of felt like five years instead of two.”

Flatten taught at Surprise Valley Vista while coaching for Verrado. Splitting time between the two places wore him out, he said.

However, from a program standpoint, Flatten said he feels like he and his staff took Verrado up another notch.

“We took it from a place where there was a bunch of good players that were capable of winning baseball games over the course of the year, to building a program that not only had high end, top quality kids, but pushed our middle to average guys up a level, and it’s giving them an opportunity to not only be successful at the high school level, but have a chance to move on and play college sports at the next level,” Flatten said.

“That part is probably the biggest thing about the program.”

Flatten’s new job is currently full time, but after the Arizona Rookie League season ends, he could opt out if he wants, he said.

“I’m not positive I want everything that goes with working in professional sports, because it’s definitely tough on the family,” Flatten said. “Right now, it’s awesome because I have a sweet gig, but they can send you into anything they want with you. So, you’re only guaranteed that one sweet gig for that year, until something changes.

“I kind of wanted to find out what their plan would be, could this be a long-term thing, or if I have more value to them in certain areas. There are certain things I would like to do in professional baseball, but I am not, in any way, at this moment, ready to give up the opportunity to spend the time with my family that I want.”
