The pickings aren’t slim when it comes to breakfast and brunch in metro Phoenix. In the past few months, some already popular breakfast chains expanded with new Valley locations, while a new crop of restaurants have entered the morning dining scene.

These restaurants serve most of your traditional American breakfast fare (pancakes and biscuits), some European and Mexican infl uences (croque madame and chilaquiles), as well as some truly decadent options (lobster and shrimp crepes with caviar).

Whether you’re looking for a humble scramble or an in-your-face load of carbs, start your day at one of these 10 new breakfast restaurants in the Valley.

Microsoft's El Mirage data center is under construction and slated to open this spring. It will employ about 50 people. JOSHUA BOWLING/THE REPUBLIC

Microsoft data center among 3 new projects west of Loop 101 Joshua Bowling

Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

Microsoft is nearing completion on one of its metro Phoenix data centers, a long, low-slung building going up on Olive Avenue near Dysart Road.

A U.S. Army Reserve training facility and a new warehouse also are going up in the northwest Valley west of Loop 101.

The Microsoft data center in El Mirage was fi rst announced in May and is expected to create about 50 jobs, El Mirage spokeswoman Amber Wakeman said. The tech giant paid $20 million for the land.

The construction is just a stone’s throw from two other new developments in Glendale, the Army Reserve center near Luke Air Force Base and the warehouse near the Westgate Entertainment District.

Reserve training facility near Luke The Army Reserve is getting a new training facility on Litchfi eld Road south of Glendale Avenue and just across from Luke Air Force Base.

The facility is scheduled to open by the end of September and will provide training space for members of the Reserve, according to spokesman Aaron

Decapua.

It will replace an existing training facility on Pima and McDowell roads in Scottsdale, he said.

“The 63rd Readiness Division’s primary missions are to generate Army Reserve readiness, and in this case, standing up that facility is an essential part of that mission,” Decapua said in an email to The Arizona Republic.

New warehouse near Conair Another big building going up that may have caught West Valley residents’ attention is on Glendale just west of the 101.

The warehouse is just east of Conair Corp.‘s massive distribution center and corporate campus in Glendale.

The nearly 182,000-square-foot building is being built on spec, meaning it does not have a tenant lined up yet, said Nitti Builders COO Juan Galan.

It will open this summer, according to CBRE. Reach reporter Joshua Bowling at jbowling@azcentral.com or 602-4448138.

Here’s how to avoid Valentine’s Day woes Ask Linda Linda Cohen Guest columnist

Dear Linda, I’m writing because Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I’m afraid it will be another disappointment.

My boyfriend is a wonderful guy and I know he loves me, not only because he tells me so but he shows it in a million ways. My family and friends think the world of him, but every time it’s a special occasion, like birthdays, Christmas, Valentines’s Day or any special day, he puts absolutely no importance on the occasion.

He knows that I come from a family where every occasion is a huge celebration because we champion each other.

My boyfriend isn’t into this celebratory stuff ; he feels it’s all a marketing deal to sell things. We’ve talked about this several times, but nothing changes. I’ve tried not to put too much importance to this one fl aw in an otherwise super relationship. What’s wrong with me? I’m so tired of fi ghting about this!

—Feeling Confl icted Dear FC, You haven’t said how old you are, but I want to say, “Grow up!”

You admit this guy says he loves you and shows it in “a million ways.” My response to that is that “you’re one lucky gal” and need to appreciate that! What more could you want?

So he thinks holidays are overly commercial, and guess what? He’s right! I would suggest adjusting your thoughts to what is important in a relationship and not dwelling on the trivialities.

As to Valentine’s Day, how about making a romantic dinner with your guy at home, and not to celebrate it as Valentine’s Day but just to celebrate the two of you.

Best of luck.

Love and equality 2020 style: Pass ERA Your Turn Dianne Post Guest columnist

Valentine’s Day began to honor an early saint or two and celebrate romantic love and martyrdom for those who allowed love to override the law. In the 14th century, couples off ered fl owers, sweets and cards.

Women have been martyred to love for centuries and denied equality under the erroneous rationale that someone else would take care of them. If you really do love your partner , a better gift than fl owers, sweets or cards is the Equal Rights Amendment so that women can navigate on equal footing.

Just a month ago, on Jan. 15, the Virginia Senate ratifi ed the ERA by a vote of 28-12. A few minutes earlier, the Virginia House had ratifi ed it 59-41. Thus Virginia goes down in history as the 38th and pivotal state to ratify the ERA. Now that three-fourths of the states have ratifi ed, the ERA is the 28th Amendment to the Constitution. The day of passage was deliberately chosen because Jan. 11 is the birthday of Alice Paul, who wrote the fi rst ERA in 1923.

The fact that it took 97 years to get the amendment passed in spite of the fact that 91% of Americans support the ERA makes a person wonder about the motives of those still trying to prevent women’s constitutional equality.

The amendment goes into eff ect two years after ratifi cation to allow the U.S. and states to change any laws that violate it. Lawsuits are already fi led, but there are lawsuits every day against the First Amendment, the Second, the Fourth and the Eighth, and they are still standing. There were lawsuits against the 13th, 14th, 15th, and 18th amendments, and they are still standing but for the 18th, which was reversed by the 21st.

The Madison Amendment (27th) prohibiting sitting legislators from raising their own salaries while in the seat passed 200 years after it was introduced into Congress. The timeline arguments were already specious, but the

27th Amendment obliterates them.

Good ideas don’t die; they eventually triumph. Women have fought for equality from the beginning of time, and we aren’t about to stop now.

Those opposed to the ERA in Virginia said that women have achieved high positions without the ERA, so it was not necessary. The same was said in Arizona the last session. It is true that women have achieved much in spite of the lack of equality. But as Delegate Jennifer Carrol Foy said, because women have succeeded in spite of barriers is no reason to maintain the barriers. She rejected the idea that because a few have the privilege and reach high positions, equality for all should be denied.

Virginia was also lauded as historically for freedom. One delegate mentioned that many of the original Constitution signers and Bill of Rights supporters were Virginians, showing the deep roots of equality there and pointing out that Virginia was rightfully returning to its roots as a state that supported equality.

Arizona began as a very progressive state as well, one that supported equality. At its inception, Arizona supported miners, workers and women. The state had the initiative process to ensure that citizens’ voices were heard and the recall process to ensure that renegade politicians could be held to account.

Women could vote in 1912, eight years before the 19th Amendment passed giving them that right nationwide.

But in the mid-1960s, Arizona started reverting to principles of insularity, scarcity and fear above principles of inclusion, prosperity and tolerance. Arizona legislators need to reclaim our roots and recognize that the ERA is a good idea whose time has come. Arizona has forfeited its opportunity to go down in history as the 38th and pivotal state, but it can still do the right thing and ratify the ERA this session to become No. 39.

Dianne Post is a member of the ERA Task Force AZ.

AZ Real Estate SOUTHWEST VALLEY

COOL HOME

Inside ‘Johnjay and Rich’ radio show co-host’s abode ‘Let me send you a sketch,’ ” Unfug said.

“He took it and ran with it.”

Mealey incorporated the same fl oating shelves, made with Douglas fi r, that he made for her kitchen above her washer and dryer, which visually ties the two rooms together. He also created a vintage sign to add charm to what is normally an industrial space in a home.

Unfug recalled her immediate reaction when her realtor friend showed her examples of Mealey’s work.

“I was so impressed because he’s super talented. I was like, ‘I need his number!’ ” she said.

Georgann Yara

Special to Arizona Republic USA TODAY NETWORK

When Kyle Unfug and her family moved into their south Chandler home in 2018, the built-from-the-ground-up abode was a blank palette that begged for attention.

She knew she wanted fl oating shelves in her kitchen. But not just any basic shelving. She wanted pieces that were unique and not obtainable at any storefront.

Unfug got her wish — and more — when a realtor friend connected her with Phoenix woodworker Montana Mealey, who specializes in custom wood and metal pieces.

“I wanted an open feel in the kitchen.

I’m loving the trend,” Unfug said. “He nailed it. It’s exactly what I wanted, and he made it even better.”

And it didn’t stop there.

Fixing ‘awkward spots’

Barn doors create privacy and works of art A huge fan of Mealey’s work, Unfug was thrilled to allow him to add his touch to other parts of the 6,000square-foot house that fl aunts seven bedrooms, six bathrooms and a casita that sits just off the main house across the swimming pool.

In addition to fl oating shelves, Unfug yearned for barn doors. She showed Mealey some Pinterest inspiration photos, and he tweaked them to match her home and needs.

Two large 8-foot tall barn doors stand at the entry to the master bathroom and slide open. These pine wood doors boast visually stunning yet natural patterns, off ering privacy that serves as functional art.

“I get so many compliments on them.

I love how they look, and the light and sound don’t get into the room as well,”

Kyle Unfug, her husband, Scott Fisher, and their children moved into their south Chandler home in 2018. These beams are among the several pieces the couple commissioned from Montana Mealey, woodworker and owner of WestWood Vintage Designs, to create a modern farm-style house look.

GEORGANN YARA/SPECIAL FOR AZCENTRAL

Unfug said.

The hideaway feel is key for Unfug, the morning co-host of the “Johnjay and Rich” show on 104.7 KISS FM, whose day starts well before dawn. Her husband, Scott Fisher, who does radio and TV voice overs, and their children have adjusted to her early to bed and really early to rise schedule.

“We all to go bed at the same time. My alarm goes off at 2:05 (a.m.), but I’m out of bed by 2:15. I give myself a couple of snoozes,” Unfug said.

Down the hallway, a third barn door

stands outside the guestroom and guest bathroom area, creating a guest wing that gives overnight visitors privacy as well.

“We’ve had guests stay with us and they’ve all appreciated being able to close off the space and not have to sneak out in the open to go to the bathroom,” Unfug said.

While she knew what she wanted in her kitchen and her master suite, the laundry room remained a mystery.

“I was like, ‘I don’t know, it feels like it needs something.’ He (mealey) said,

Mealey, who owns WestWood Vintage Designs, specializes in crafting custom pieces made to go in tricky spaces.

“A typical client has an awkward spot in their house where they think, ‘I can’t fi nd the shape or size of furniture I’m looking for,’ ” Mealey said. “I look at it, get a feel for their style and create something for them.”

This was the case with the bathroom doors. In addition to patterns on both sides, the inside is encased in Styrofoam so it blocks off some sound while providing insulation.

“She has a massive entryway that’s wide open. She wanted privacy for getting ready in the morning and to keep light from shining into the bedroom,” Mealey said. “You’re not going to see doors like that. I’ve never made ones like that before, or since.”

Outside, he most recently added horizontal beams that resemble fence posts along the perimeter of the property.

“It gives aesthetics to match the home … a modern farm-style house,” he said.

Medical marijuana dispensary pushes to stay open later in 2 cities

Personalizing their home

Paulina Pineda

Unfug is still working on making her new house even more homey, with Mealey’s help. His barn doors not only grant that privacy when needed, but they also personalized their home.

“We didn’t really want regular doors on the bathroom because we wanted it feel open when I wasn’t getting ready in the morning. To have that … it’s a personal thing,” Unfug said.

Mealy is working on more projects for Unfug and Fisher. He’s doing shelves for a breakfast nook that includes a microwave and mini refrigerator in the master bathroom. This allows Unfug to make her breakfast in the morning without having to walk through her house, turn on the kitchen lights or disturb sleepers while she preps.

Mealey is also doing some storage for the back patio where they can store sunscreen, goggles and extra towels.

Medical marijuana cardholders could soon shop for pot later at night in two Valley cities.

Harvest Health and Recreation, a Tempe-based dispensary, has requested that Tempe and Scottsdale allow dispensaries to stay open until 10 p.m.

Dispensaries currently must close by 7 p.m. in Scottsdale and 8 p.m. in Tempe.

Phoenix, Chandler and Glendale already allow dispensaries to stay open until 10 p.m.

Lauren Niehaus, lobbying Scottsdale and Tempe for Harvest Health, said later operating hours will help keep shoppers and sales tax revenue in those cities “rather than customers driving to other cities to take advantage of those later hours.”

Dispensaries can stay open until 10

An early riser, Unfug is out of bed by 2:15 a.m. These insulated doors help keep out sound and light so she doesn’t disturb her husband or the rest of the house when getting ready for work.

There’ll also be a spot for a hidden trash receptacle.

p.m. under the Arizona Administrative Code, although it’s up to the discretion of municipalities.

Currently, dispensary operating hours across the Valley are: ❚ Avondale — 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ❚ Chandler — 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. ❚ Guadalupe — 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., though Harvest Health was granted a variance that allows them to stay open later. ❚ Glendale — 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. ❚ Mesa — 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ❚ Phoenix — 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. ❚ Scottsdale — 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. ❚ Tempe — 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Tempe and Scottsdale city councils would need to amend zoning and development codes to extend operating hours.

The Tempe City Council was expected to vote Feb. 13 on the proposed change.

Turning to Lord through church transformed life 6th Annual “Unity in the Community” Black History Fellowship Prayer Breakfast

Faith Matters Rev. Ozetta Kirby Guest columnist

My experience in the African Methodist Episcopal Church began in 1958, when I made a decision to unite with the local church. At that time, I was 10 years old. I attended Sunday school with my grandparents. I enjoyed learning about the great heroes and heroines in the Bible. I knew about God, but I did not have a personal relationship with Him at this young age.

In 1962, my mother announced that we would be moving to Racine, Wisconsin. I was very concerned because I had never lived anywhere else but Sebree, Kentucky. And I was very concerned about the schools in Racine. Our schools and cities were totally segregated. We rode a school bus to school each day, going past numerous white schools.

I thought about what it would be like to attend school with diverse students. I didn’t really know what it meant, but I knew many changes would take place in

When: Saturday, Feb. 15, 9 a.m.-9 p.m.

Where: Holy Trinity Church, 220 S. Chestnut St., Mesa.

Wisconsin. I didn’t know what it meant to pray for help in this transitional period of my life. I felt all alone. I had seen something on television about how students were treated when they decided to integrate schools.

Our family arrived in Racine in August 1962. I had to enroll myself at Mitchell Junior High School. My mother had to enroll my younger sisters and brothers in elementary school. My stepfather was at work and could not help. We also had no car or telephone. The fi rst day of school was exciting. The white students were nice to me. During that fi rst year, friendships were made with white, black

and Hispanic students.

One of my new black friends invited me to attend Wayman AME Church with her. I really enjoyed that church and quickly joined and became a member of the youth choir. There was also Sunday school and the Young People’s Department. I often heard the pastor tell the congregation about the importance of praying.

I started to value my social life more than a church or any religious guidance given. I graduated from high school, married, had three children, divorced and generally felt broken and confused.

When I fi nally heard God’s voice telling me what to do, I listened and returned to church and entered service to the Lord as a Sunday school teacher fi rst, and more duties came as I prayed and listened to the Lord.

I started to mend. The pastors, Christian education director, Sunday school superintendent, stewards and wonderful members of the church helped give me direction. This really encouraged me.

After attending college to obtain my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in 1976, I enjoyed teaching elementary students

and I became the Sunday school superintendent, a steward, Christian education board member and other roles.

One afternoon, I felt God calling me to be a minister, and I listened faithfully and obeyed him. I attended classes for fi ve years under seasoned and experienced pastors in the African Methodist Episcopal Church.

God also sent me a husband, Brother Prentiss Kirby. We were united in holy matrimony on Feb. 11, 1978, at the church where I received my Christian education, the church where I learned how to pray to get a breakthrough and how to receive help from God with life-challenges. My great husband helped me raise three great children.

As the Bible says, “And without faith, it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” Rev. Ozetta Kirby is a pastor for Holy Trinity Community AME Church in Mesa.

Marijuana Continued from Page 14

It will be the second time Tempe considers extending dispensary hours since fi rst approving its medical marijuana ordinance in 2010. The city in 2015 extended the closing time from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

In Scottsdale, Harvest Health has fi led a request to amend the city code.

Residents and business owners can weigh in on the change at two open houses in March, Niehaus said. The proposal will go to the council sometime after that, she said.

Niehaus said the company is targeting cities where it has dispensaries.

Harvest Health operates 10 dispensaries statewide and plans to request similar changes in Avondale, Guadalupe, Lake Havasu City, Casa Grande and Cottonwood, she said.

The change, if approved, would apply to all dispensaries, not just those operated by Harvest Health.

Niehaus said extended hours are not expected to aff ect public safety.

Harvest Health’s dispensaries have 24-hour surveillance, secured entrances and well-lit facilities, she said.

Tempe police said they did not have any concerns with the request as they have not received signifi cant calls to dispensaries, according to city documents.

The Police Department also didn’t fi nd a connection between dispensary locations and crime in the surrounding area, the documents said.

Niehaus said a Tempe police study of crime committed within a quarter mile of marijuana dispensaries and cultivation sites, pharmacies and liquor stores found that more crimes were reported near pharmacies and liquor stores. For the 60 reported crimes in the area surrounding dispensaries, there were 827 crimes reported near liquor stores and 990 crimes reported near pharmacies, she said.
