Reader agrees West Valley transit needs to be a priority

I read Sharon Hettick’s opinion, West Valley transit needs to prioritize safety, affordability, access, and I completely agree!

I take public transportation now, and the buses stop running into Youngtown at 8 p.m. That takes a toll on me finding my way back home.

El Mirage gets buses only twice a day. As it is, I have to walk to 111th Avenue and Wisconsin to catch the bus from my house at 119th Avenue and Thunderbird.

U.S. vs. Mexico: ‘War’ that ends at final whistle in Glendale

OPINION — On Saturday, Oct. 3, at 7 p.m., the United States’ men’s soccer team will play Mexico at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. On paper, it is a friendly. Nobody in my family has ever used that word for this game. Mexico can lose to the United States in almost any sport and take it well. Basketball, baseball, a bad night in the ring. We shake hands and go to dinner. Soccer is different.
