Proof that Buckeye is “open for business,” is the grand opening of Caballero’s
Landscape! Located directly across from Buckeye’s Post Office, Caballero’s
offers a wide variety of landscape materials and services.
Caballero’s has been in Buckeye for 12 years, but
opening day for their new location is Monday,
July 21st . There will be a DJ, food, soda and water.
Plus a 30% discount for that one day only.
Caballero’s offers pavers, retaining walls, block walls, barbeques, fountains, rock, gravel, and real crystal stones. They offer rocks no one
else has, as they are not from local sources. Their rocks are unique.
Caballero’s also professionally installs sprinkler and drip watering systems, and landscape designing. Their service is dependable,
and includes clean-up and removal of debris, tractor work, and irrigating properties. Caballero’s is licensed, bonded, and insured.
They are also members of the Better Business Bureau with a good rating.

Miss Arab USA 2012, Suzanne Aslam
By: Rhonda Costa
This past Saturday night saw the crowing of a queen. The Miss Arab USA Pageant was
held at a magical oasis in the desert, “The Talking Stick Resort” in Scottsdale. If you
have never ventured out to this casino resort, I highly recommend it. It is an amazingly
beautiful getaway, and it is not even an hour drive from Buckeye. It was a spectacularly
beautiful night of Arabian Culture where 20 beautiful, educated and talented ladies vied
for the title of Miss Arab USA. All of these ladies were winners in my book, but only 1
could wear the crown. The ladies came from all over the country. I was in the fortunate
position to be able to
document the event for Miss Fatima Hammad
of Dearborn, MI. She
graciously allowed me
into her world for this
event and it was an honor.
The time came to hit the
stage in a cavalcade of
beauty and spender,
highlighting the Arabian
culture. The music was
magical as were the costumes presented in the
cultural dress segment of
the show. At the end of
the evening we waited
with baited breath as the
final winners names were
called. A hush fell over
the crowd as Arizona's
very own, Suzanne Aslam
was crowned Miss Arab
USA 2012.
Pro Skateboarding Tour
Visits the Valley
Story and photos by Michael Rincon
Skateboarders. You don't even have to
see them to know that they're there.
In most urban areas the rhythmic clap-
ping of skateboard wheels rolling over
sidewalk joints, the scraping of wood or
fiberglass skateboard decks down handrails,
benches and walls, and the slapping of
skateboards against pavement can be heard
as riders bail while attempting tricks with
names such as ollie, indy, kickflip and
crooked grind nollie flip boardslide.
Cities and towns across the country have installed skate parks, such as Buckeye
Skate Park at 9th and Monroe, to satisfy
skateboarders’ need to grind. The park
include many of the types of obstacles
boarders search out to practice their skills.
Skateboarders from across the Valley set
their boards aside July 14 and 15 to watch
the top 23 riders from around the world
attempt tricks at the Street League Skate-
boarding 2012 Series took place at
Jobing.com arena in Glendale. California's Paul Rodriguez, 28, who
turned pro when he was age 14 won the
competition which consisted of two
45-second free style sessions, a best trick
session and a Big section which include
jumps from a six-foot high flight of steps.
The tour now moves to it final session in
Newark, NJ where this year’s champion
will be crowned.

off a ramp.

Reality Check By: Markita South
I am pleased to say I survived raising my younger son. Believe me it was not easy, but
here I am—living proof that I survived! You see, this child, whom I shall call Paul,
since that is his name, was a difficult child to raise. He was (and is) very intelligent,
and very talented at getting into mischief.
Admittedly, not all the trouble he got into was completely his fault. For instance, we
discovered he was allergic to mosquitoes when he was two and got bit on the eyebrow. His throat began to swell – and off we went to the ER. He drank gasoline when his dad
told him it was “juice for the lawn mower,” also at two years old. He nearly had to have
his stomach pumped when he ate some of his dad’s “candy,” which was actually Lith-
ium his dad took daily.
Paul also had a talent for breaking bones. When he was three, he tried to fly like Super-
man off of the top bunk and broke his left arm in three places. When he was six, he
stepped on a rotten branch while climbing a tree, and shattered his left elbow. That one
needed surgery. All in all, he broke 11 bones before reaching the age of 12.
Paul will turn 29-years-old in August, and he and his wife are expecting their second child. Their first child is a girl, and according to the ultrasounds, this second one is also
a girl. However, having issued that age-old “mother’s curse” (I hope you have a child
just like you!) to Paul on a daily basis, I am hoping this baby will be a reality check for
Paul and turn out to be boy.
Their baby is due August 13th, which is coming up rather quickly, and no matter what it
is, I will love it to distraction. And, I really don’t want it to get into as much mischief as
its father did. So, I guess I will just have to remove that curse and just pray they have a
healthy baby! I’ll be sure to let you know what it as soon as it is born!
Please feel free to email me at [email protected] any stories of reality checks
that have happened to you or someone you know. I may write my next Reality Check
about ….
