It represents more than 25% of the population of Maricopa County and 3 of the top 10 cities in terms of population in Arizona. The West Valley has been one of the fastest growing areas in the country and initially was a mixture of retirement and bedroom communities. In the last decade, employment in the West Valley has been catching up with the growth in the population base. Today, the West Valley employs almost one quarter of all the workers in the Metro Phoenix Area. The communities of the West Valley formed a consortium to better understand their region and to better promote its growth and development. WESTMARC (Western Maricopa Coalition) is the organization representing the 15 communities and their interests. The communities include Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Gila Bend, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, West Phoenix, Sun City, Sun City West, Surprise, Tolleson, Wickenburg and Youngtown. In May of 2008, WESTMARC engaged ERISS Corporation to prepare a comprehensive labor market analysis of the West Valley. That analysis involved a survey of all businesses in the West Valley with 20 or more employees (all such businesses were contracted and 1,100 completed the survey) and a detailed review of available government information. The analysis was focused on several key questions: • What is the real labor supply available to employers in the West Valley? • What industries are growing? • Are there issues of absenteeism or low skills among the workers employed by West Valley firms? • What types of higher education are most highly valued by West Valley employers? • Are local

  • Jose Ramirez Looked to Be the Only Person Inside Goodyear Ballpark Who Immediately Realized What He Had Pulled Off Sunday Afternoon
    Alert Ramirez sparks Indians' rare triple play By Jordan Bastian MLB.com @MLBastian GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Jose Ramirez looked to be the only person inside Goodyear Ballpark who immediately realized what he had pulled off Sunday afternoon. The crowd was buzzing as they discussed the play that unfolded in front of them and it took a few moments before the umpires let Cleveland's fielders return to the dugout. In the sixth inning of a 5-4 loss to the Brewers, Ramirez swiftly recorded a pair of outs to ignite a unique triple play with the bases loaded, providing the highlight of Cleveland's split-squad games against Milwaukee and Kansas City. The three outs were recorded so fast that manager Terry Francona quipped the Indians could have notched four on the play. "There were outs everywhere," Francona said. Brewers manager Craig Counsell agreed. "They could have gotten four outs on that play, very easily could have gotten four outs," Counsell said. "It's a crazy thing. You come to the field and see something [like that]. I think everyone in our dugout said they'd never seen anything like that." The play began with Jonathan Villar on first, Christian Yelich on second and Stephen Vogt on third base for the Brewers against Indians righty Matt Belisle. Travis Shaw then sent a soft looping liner up the third-base line, where Vogt was caught in between. If he bolted home and Ramirez snared the ball for an out, Vogt could have been doubled up at third. Instead of making the catch, Ramirez gloved the ball on a short hop, introducing a bit of chaos.

William John Murphy, a native of New Hartford, New York who resided in the town of Flagstaff in what was then known as the territory of Arizona, was in charge of building a 40-mile long Arizona Canal from Granite Reef to New River for the Arizona Canal Company. He competed the canal, which would bring water to the desert land, in 1885.[2] Murphy was deep in debt, since he had agreed to be paid in Arizona Canal Company stock and bonds and land instead of cash.[3] In 1887, Murphy formed the Arizona Improvement Company.

The future Hall of Famer will only make two starts for the Reds, pitching 18.0 innings over six games, with a 7.50 ERA MLB.COM Reds load up for 1,825-mile trip to Arizona By Mark Sheldon MLB.com @m_sheldon Feb. 5th, 2019 CINCINNATI -- Stacks of boxes, suitcases and baseball equipment were piled up in the loading dock at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday. Clubhouse workers were grabbing them and loading them into an 18-wheeler truck. That means it's almost time for Reds Spring Training, which opens in Goodyear, Ariz., next week. Led by vice president of home clubhouse operations Rick Stowe, who began working for the club in 1981 and became head of the clubhouse in 1997, the Reds have a well-oiled machine with regard to packing up and moving out. "It's about a three- or fourth-month process, and we get done in about one hour," said Tony Walter, a home clubhouse assistant. "It's a lot of planning, buildup and anticipation for about an hour's worth of work that's completed relatively efficiently." The truck is scheduled to leave Cincinnati on Wednesday for a 1,825-mile trek to the Reds' player development complex in Goodyear. Reds pitchers and catchers will report to Spring Training for physicals on Feb. 12 and work out for the first time the following day. The first full-squad workout will be held on Feb.
