City prepared to host Super Bowl LVII

BY JOE MCHUGH Glendale Star Staff Writer

With Super Bowl LVII ready to make its way to Glendale, the world’s eye will be looking squarely at the city and how it responds.

City Manager Kevin Phelps said the city is ready. Possibly the most important time of the year for the city, it will have ample opportunity to show everything it has to offer to those who have never seen it.

“We want to be a household name,” Phelps said. “The Super Bowl is a great economic opportunity to kind of showcase the community on a really grand scale.”

Vice President Kamala Harris visited Tonopah on Jan. 19 for the groundbreaking of a new renewable energy project called Ten West Link.

Ten West Link is a planned energy infrastructure project that will connect electrical substations in Tonopah and Blythe, California. According to the project’s website, it spans 125 miles and is expected to be completed and operational by the end of 2023.

“You rely on the power delivered by our nation’s network of transmission lines and that network is in desperate need of an upgrade,” Harris said. “America is at the

Glendale three times in the last 15 years, and 2023 marks the second time the Super Bowl has been played in State Farm

Stadium in the last decade. 2015’s game is still the most watched and highest-rated

start of an historic transition away from fossil fuel plants that pollute our communities and toward cleaner and safer energy sources.”

The new 500kV power line will improve transmission system efficiency and reliability while facilitating the development of new renewable energy and energy storage resources in Arizona and California. This will help both states achieve their renewable energy standards and carbon reduction goals.

“This electricity will be clean electricity,” Harris said. “Solar panels and wind turbines do not produce toxic fumes that poison our air or dangerous chemicals that poison our water. The energy delivered by

these lines will not just be cleaner, it will also be cheaper.

“On average, clean electricity is less expensive than electricity generated from traditional sources. And more transition to transmission lines means more clean energy for our communities, and that means more money in the pocket of the American people.”

This project, she said, ties in to better positioning the state and will serve as a model to the rest of the country on how to better handle the climate change crisis.

“For far too long, our nation has not acted with the urgency the climate crisis de-

Water reductions for the new year may be just the beginning

BY RYAN KNAPPENBERGER Cronkite News

Experts say few Arizona residents will notice any immediate change to the availability of water in their daily lives despite steep cuts being imposed Jan. 1 on the amount of water the state can draw from the Colorado River.

But that does not mean they can relax. State and federal water officials expect more cuts will be required in 2023, as they struggle to keep drought-ravaged Lake Powell and Lake Mead from falling to critically low levels.

And it’s anybody’s guess as to when and how those additional cuts will take effect, they say.

“If there’s one thing water managers really like, it’s certainty,” said Tom Buschatzke, director of the Arizona Department of Water Resources. “And 2023 seems to be anything but.”

That uncertainty is felt on the local level as well. Phoenix Water Resources management adviser Cynthia Camp-

bell said the most recent projections show that Lake Mead and Lake Powell could drop below the point where the

Hoover and Glen Canyon dams can produce hydroelectric power.

“It’s very bad,” Campbell said. “There’s no way to mince words about this. … If we’re going to save the functionality of Hoover Dam and Glen Canyon Dam, there’s going to have to be, by necessity, a significant decrease in demand on the river.”

Those cuts would be in addition to reductions already imposed by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which manages the dams and the water that passes through them.

The bureau last summer announced that the lakes had fallen to Tier 2A levels, triggering previously agreed-upon cuts to water supplied to states in the lower basin of the Colorado River, beginning on Jan. 1.

Arizona will see the steepest cuts, with the state set to give up 592,000 acre-feet of water — the amount of water is takes to cover an acre to a depth of one foot — in 2023. Mexico would lose 104,000 acre-feet, Nevada would lose 25,000 acre-feet, and California would not give up any of its water yet.

Most of the cuts in Arizona will be felt by farmers, with agriculture one of the biggest users of water in the state and one of the lowest priorities for delivery.

But Reclamation has already called on the seven states in the Colorado River Basin to find an additional 2 million to 4 million acre-feet to cut in the coming years, as Lake Powell and Lake Mead fall to the lowest levels since they were filled.

Campbell said that Phoenix is actively preparing for even the worst-case scenario, finding ways to continue providing water, but it will take some help from residents. That means people will have to start thinking about conservation in their daily lives, from making their homes more water efficient to getting rid of lawns and pools.

“We’re also making sure we’re ready to deliver alternate supplies and make our customers aware of what they can do to be as efficient as they can,” Campbell said.

Colorado River basin states have been planning for years for water restrictions. But Reclamation has said that if the first months of 2023 are particularly dry, Lake Powell levels could drop below 3,490 feet, the minimum level at which the dam can produce electricity. In the worst case, both lakes could fall to the point at which water can no longer flow through the dam, a condition known as “dead pool.”

The bureau stressed that it will do everything in its power to maintain water levels needed for power production and water flow, either by limiting water deliveries to states, by prioritizing Lake Powell over Lake Mead by transferring water from one to the other, or both.

Noe Santos, the Bureau of Reclamation’s river operations manager for the Lower Colorado Basin, said the agency will begin releasing less water from the reservoirs in 2023. Most users will only feel the changes in winter and summer months, he said, when less water overall is pumped because agricultural demand is lower.

One step that some Arizona cities and tribes have already taken to protect reservoir levels is to store some of their water allotment in the lakes. Phoenix is part of that group, having already stored 30,000 acre-feet in 2022

Glendale police crime lab accredited through ANAB

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF

The Glendale Police Department Crime Laboratory was recently granted the Certificate of Accreditation ISO/IEC 17025:2017, which specifies the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, as well as additional requirements of the program.

The lab is now accredited for both crime scene and friction ridge (latent print comparison).

ISO accreditation signifies the laboratory has successfully completed the assessment process conducted by the accrediting body, demonstrating a high standard of excellence and conformance with more than 400 requirements.

The laboratory partnered with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and its National Accreditation Board (ANAB). The laboratory

underwent a rigorous process to prepare for an assessment by ANAB and, as a result, demonstrated conformance

with all requirements.

Achieving accreditation will give customers confidence that every item tested by the laboratory will meet the highest of international standards and represent their commitment to quality and continuous improvement.

and volunteering to store an additional 30,000.

But Buschatzke said there are concerns across the state, especially among tribal governments, that such goodwill could end up hurting them in the end.

“No one wants to put their water on the table when there’s a chance it could be cut anyway by the mandatory cuts the federal government is considering,” he said.

Those concerns are amplified for tribes that have long fought to have their claims to Colorado River water recognized and now worry that water could disappear before they ever get a chance to see it.

stressed in the next three to five years, with water likely to become more expensive as the supply continues to dwindle.

If residents can come together and become more efficient water users, she said, there is hope that the city and state can comfortably adapt.

But she stressed that difficult changes are in store, adding that she has been using the “Serenity Prayer” as way to look at the coming years.

“To accept the things you cannot change and change the things you can, we have to accept the fact that this is going to happen,” Campbell recited.

mands,” Harris said. “It’s not because the science has been unclear. Scientists have warned us for years about the dangers of greenhouse gas emissions. It’s not because we lacked solutions. We know how to reduce our emissions and protect our communities. No, none of that. It’s because we have failed for so long to have folks who are fighting for action. So many so-called leaders who lack the political will and courage to act.

“Well, now, I think we’ve turned the page, and there’s consensus across all kinds of lines that it’s time to take this crisis seriously, that that time has arrived.”

Himanshu Saxena, chairman and CEO of Lotus Infrastructure Partners, the developer and owner of Ten West Link, said the project was first discussed back in 2014, and it was supposed to be “quick” and “easy.” Ten West Link became difficult to complete due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a “massive” inflationary period and supply chain issues.

Saxena and his team never gave up, however, as they knew it was something Arizona really needed.

“This is the right project at the right time,” Saxena said. “And this is a project that will propel us into a cleaner future, so we never gave up. And that’s what we do.”

At one point, Saxena said, Ten West Link had more than 100 people on a team developing the project.

“They say it takes a village to raise a child; it actually takes a village to build a transmission line,” he joked. “It has taken us years of effort to work through processes in Arizona and California on federal land. We have worked very closely with a number of federal agencies. These things take time, but we are grateful for all the help and support that we have received from everybody.”

Sen. Mark Kelly was unable to attend the groundbreaking as he was on a bipartisan international congressional delegation to the Abraham Accords countries of Israel, Morocco, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates. A steward of renewable energy and tackling climate change, he is looking forward to seeing Ten West Link’s completion.

“Today’s announcement is one of the many ways Arizona is leading the way to a renewable energy future,” Kelly said in a statement. “I welcome the administration’s partnership on this crucial project. I’ll continue working with Republicans and Democrats to deliver renewable energy investments that create more good-paying Arizona jobs, lower energy costs, and meet our state’s growing energy needs.”

Ten West Link uses the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Energy Corridor” and U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s designated utility corridors. Additionally, the project avoids the Kofa National Wildlife Refuge and all major population centers.

As such, United States Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland and United States Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm were both in attendance for

the groundbreaking. Haaland said Ten West Link is a “momentous milestone” in President Joe Biden’s goal of adding at least 25 gigawatts of onshore renewable energy by 2025.

“At the Department of the Interior, we know that the time to act on climate is now,” Haaland said. “From coastal towns and rural farms to urban centers and tribal communities, climate change poses an existential threat not just to our environment but to our health, our communities and our economic well-being.

“The demand for clean energy has never been greater. The technological advances, increased interest, cost effectiveness and tremendous economic potential make these projects a promising path for diversifying our energy portfolio, while at the same time combating climate change and investing in our communities. I could not be prouder to be a part of an administration that cares so deeply about protecting our lands, our waters and our air.”

Granholm, like Haaland, spoke on Biden’s goals as he took office. This matches the president’s goal of building a clean American energy sector on American soil using American workers.

“This is a fantastic example of what we want to see happening all across the country quicker, and we’re going to start that process,” Granholm said. “This is actually a symbol of us really launching our effort to be able to do transmission projects across the country. … (Arizona) has the capacity, the solar capacity, to be No. 2 in the coun-

try, No. 2 in terms of solar generation. … You’ve already begun that, but we want to get you up to that capacity.

“Look at all of this land,” she added, looking at the project’s to-be location. “Every time you see vacant parcels of land, you think American energy is possible, and that means resilient energy. And that means that Arizona and California are reinforcing each other with the energy that will be produced and moved along this transmission line.”

Gov. Katie Hobbs was also in attendance. She is adamant that Arizona play a huge role in developing cleaner energy moving forward.

“Our state should lead the way in sustainable and renewable energy development,” Hobbs said. This effort is an example of what we need to build a 21st century, clean-energy economy that puts Arizona on a path to longterm prosperity.”

Hobbs said she established the Governor’s Office of Resiliency to better leverage state and federal resources to modernize Arizona’s energy and transportation sectors and to support the state’s clean energy future. That, however, isn’t enough.

Leadership and focus from the federal government will be key in moving Arizona in the right direction as it pertains to renewable energy. This project, she said, gives the state just that.

“This is a major step forward for our state in terms of achieving a cleaner, more sustainable energy future,” Hobbs said. “I’m confident that with the leadership of the Biden-Harris administration, coupled with leaders from around the state and from the private sector, we can build upon the success of this project.”

SUPER BOWL FROM PAGE 1 game in the Super Bowl’s history. But for Phelps, this year has more potential than ever. As successful as 2015 was, he feels Glendale is in a better position to host the big game this time around.

“The single biggest difference, in my mind, between 2015 and 2023, is that the city of Glendale really wasn’t positioned as well to leverage the Super Bowl as we will be this year and primarily in the area of hotel rooms,” Phelps said. “We had roughly 900 hotel rooms within a mile-and-a-half radius of the stadium, which meant the vast majority of people attending the Super Bowl were likely staying in cities like Scottsdale and Phoenix, which meant more than likely, they were shopping at Scottsdale Fashion Square and not at Arrowhead Towne Center, and they were eating at the Chili’s restaurant in Scottsdale and not the Yard House here in Glendale.

“One thing that we focused a lot on was really building our room inventory. For this Super Bowl, we’ll be up to just under 1,700 rooms within a 1-and-

a-half-mile radius (of State Farm Stadium).”

Available hospitality is only projected to see an uptick as well. Within the next several years, the amount of available rooms within that radius could reach a whopping 4,000.

“What we hope is (fans) come here for the Super Bowl because their team is in the Super Bowl, but they come back when it’s their choice, when there’s a family vacation or a business trip,” Phelps said. “What we want to do is we want to be in the conversation for selecting us and selecting Glendale.”

With the population of the metro area bloating for Super Bowl weekend, attendees will need something to do with their time before and after the game, and Glendale boasts options to do just that.

TopGolf, Westgate and Desert Diamond Casino outline just a few of the new amenities that the city has built since the last Super Bowl was in town, priming 2023’s big game to have other activities surrounding it to make the experience all the better with one simple goal in mind.

In the future, Glendale will be holding more big events. From the Final Four to the Fiesta Bowl, the masses will keep coming to the city. Phelps’ future-casting sees the development of more entertainment districts, improvement of transportation, and more attractions coming to the Glendale area, which, he said, makes it all the more enticing for people to come out to see all that Glendale has to offer.

“We’re just keeping the foot on the gas pedal,” Phelps said. “The more that we can build up restaurants, hotel rooms and experiential activities, it will have a tipping effect and it will just create its own inertia and movement to where even the city doesn’t have to be a catalyst anymore. It will really be self-generating.”

“We’re just keeping the foot on the gas pedal.”

What’s up with the ‘Docs’… and the Dems?

BY J.D. HAYWORTH Glendale Star Columnist

History recalls the brutal reign of a father and son in the impoverished island nation of Haiti. Francois Duvalier (“Papa Doc”), a physician educated in the United States, was initially elected president in 1957, but soon proved to be more of a despot than a doctor. With the aid of an undercover death squad, he eliminated opponents and consolidated power, naming himself “president for life” in 1964.

Upon Papa Doc’s death in 1971, son Jean-Claude Duvalier, nicknamed “Baby Doc,” became president and ruled in the same repressive fashion until he was overthrown in 1986.

Current events in this country have prompted some observers to apply those historical Haitian nicknames to America’s first family. Joe “Papa Doc” and Hunter “Baby Doc” Biden have not earned those monikers because of med-

ical training; instead, they have acquired them for their suspected illegal mishandling of classified documents.

Sadly, but predictably, Ol’ Joe and his legal team — attorneys both inside and outside government — are writing a narrative on the fly, counting on the continued indulgence of the left and the press (pardon the redundancy) to help both Papa and Baby Biden skate.

But what worked so well two years ago in the heat of a presidential campaign may not yield the same results in the wake of the recent midterm elections.

Now, it appears that key elements of the Democrat base have decided to pursue a new pre-2024 policy and personnel imperative. Simply stated, they want to prove to the cognitively impaired octogenarian they labored to install as the 46th president that this is

no country for old men.

What prompted this progressive call to action?

Joe Biden’s loud and repeated outbursts that he would be more than happy to continue wandering off, eating ice cream and mumbling incoherently as the “leader of the free world” for a second term.

Make no mistake, this decision has nothing to do with principle… and everything to do with politics.

After successfully using COVID-19 as the crisis for “reform” in elections nationwide, the left is no longer confident that it can muster more votes than registered voters, as was done by the Dems in 2020.

In other words, the Democrats have determined that they can’t entirely depend on an outcome that uses mailboxes and drop boxes as de facto ballot boxes, especially not with Joe Biden atop the ticket.

They no longer feel comfortable mailing it in, and their reasons are both

sound and several, as the policy performance of the Biden Bunch has proven pathetic.

If you’re scoring at home — or considering for whom to vote in 2024 — it is painfully obvious that “America last” only excites indoctrinated Gen Z’ers, the culture-canceling comatose misnamed as “woke,” and brain-addled ’60s radicals who have grown fat, happy and nostalgic for the old-fashioned nation loathing that is so intrinsic to their collective self-image.

Misfits, malcontents and miscreants do not a majority make, nor a winning margin that can be easily rigged through further “reform.”

So for the Dems, the decision is simple: help Ol’ Joe reach the conclusion that he can have even more ice cream — and enjoy longer naps — as a former president.

Most assuredly, that decision is not unanimous, nor can its implementation thus far be described as deft. But

Heartbreaking tragedy, heartwarming response

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

Sometimes buried in the most heartbreaking tales we discover a glimmer of hope. It is one good reason to read the news, even now, when so much that makes headlines involves the worst of us doing the worst things.

The goodness of people still exists. It surfaces at unexpected moments, especially when the unimaginable happens. Like the deaths of three Chandler residents, 49-year-old Narayana Muddana; his wife Haritha, age 36; and family friend, husband and father of

one, 47-year-old Gokul Mediseti.

The trio died Dec. 26, according to police, when they fell through the ice at Woods Canyon Lake outside Payson. The story of their winter picnic gone wrong has resided in the pit of my stomach for three weeks — especially the knowledge that among the witnesses were the Muddanas’ two daughters, ages 11 and 7, as well as Gokul’s wife and child.

I’ve been to that lake. It’s idyllic, a perfect place to spend a cold holiday afternoon, a spot for pictures, laughter and making memories. But imag-

ining the sound of cracking ice and the screams — it’s something I can’t shake.

Moments after the three plunged in, a woman and two children on shore waded in to attempt a rescue. They failed, but made it out of the 30-degree water alive.

The Coconino County Sheriff’s Office and fire fighters responded. They pulled out Haritha, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. Rescue divers located the two fathers the next day.

“You never get used to it. Especially when you’re dealing with the children,” John Paxton with the sheriff’s office told ABC15. “We wanted to make sure they felt as safe as possible.

Tried to keep them warm and away from the scene as best we could.”

The Arizona Department of Child Safety came to the lake that night and took custody of the Muddanna girls, suddenly orphaned. The children have traveled back to India to live with their grandparents.

The story would be a tragedy start to finish, save for the astonishing generosity that has followed. It comes courtesy of the 12,700 donors who chipped in to a GoFundMe campaign started the day after the deaths by a family friend named Parvathi Mettu.

Mettu stopped accepting donations a few days in, when the GoFundMe’s

Decluttering can provide joy

BY JUDY BLUHM Glendale Star Columnist

There is nothing quite like stormy weather to get us in a tidying up mood. January is the perfect time to declutter! Out with all the “stuff” we never use, wear or even like. Marie Kondo is a Japanese decluttering guru whose “tidying up” book and teachings are supposed to show us the way to a neater and more joyful life. The KonMari method, as it is called, is the roadmap to positive change through organizing and letting go of the “stuff” you no longer need. Easier said than done.

The first step in decluttering is to go by category and not a room. I thought I would start with clothes. And before I went through mine, I noticed quite a few things in my husband Doug’s closet that he hadn’t worn in a while. I do recall Kondo saying work on your own belongings first, but I asked Doug if I might “help” him sort through his clothes.

“Sure,” he yelled while watching a football game. As I asked him about various old shirts and pants, suggesting that I donate them to charity, he seemed annoyed. Then I noticed a particularly worn and faded denim jacket and asked if he still wanted it. No response. Next, I asked the “golden Kondo question,” which is, “Does this item spark joy in you?” Doug just stared at me like I had two heads and said, “It’s just a jacket!” No touchdown.

OK. Lesson No. 1. When you are tidying up, start on your own side of the closet. Which is what I did next. I found clothes I hadn’t worn in a few

years, some things I had forgotten about and shoes that I am still wondering what possessed me to buy. Psychologists have claimed that if you want to know who you are, just look in your closet. Well, it did feel like “therapy” evaluating my clothing choices.

Kondo says that regardless of when you bought an item, if you aren’t enjoying it, get rid of it. Give it away! Feel no guilt! Simply recall the pleasure it gave you when you bought it. I have a metallic gray handbag with long fringes that I bought with my sister-inlaw because she said it looked like me. Well, I have never used it because it really looks more like Cher! Tidying up can be painful! Especially when you see the error of your shopping ways and the money you spent (wasted) all laid out in front of you!

In Sweden, there is a kind of decluttering method called “death cleaning.” This implores people to get rid of their unwanted stuff before they die, to lighten the burden on their families. Depressing? Perhaps, but a good idea, since our kids evidently don’t want our china, collectibles and mementos. Still, I like Kondo’s concept that decluttering is about “joy,” not kicking the bucket. Dear readers, take the “tidying up challenge” and feel the thrill and freedom of letting go! Oh, and if anyone wants a fringed purse, just give me a call. My junk, your joy?

JUDGE’S OPINION – King Features

again, through the collective lens of the left, it has been handled with the proper “chronological considerations.”

According to the timeline, CBS News confirmed on Jan. 10 that the U.S. attorney in Chicago was directed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to review documents marked classified and discovered in the office of the Penn Biden Center in Washington, “according to two sources with knowledge of the inquiry.”

White House attorney Richard Sauber then went on the record, confirming that the classified materials were “identified by attorneys for Mr. Biden on Nov. 2,” no doubt prompting a giant sigh of collective relief in from the Dems, who quickly noted that the news had been suppressed for two months — and especially for the six crucial days before the midterm elections, no doubt limiting Democrat losses in the House and Senate.

More disturbing revelations followed.

Most notoriously, more classified documents were found at Joe Biden’s Delaware home, in the garage behind Joe’s prized 1967 Corvette; Hunter Biden paid almost 50,000 bucks in monthly rent to his Pop, while living at that same Delaware residence from March 2017 to February 2018; and Chinese communists were paying big money to Hunter, while donating the same type of big bucks to the Penn Biden Center.

How bad is it for the Bidens? Bad enough to have Dem “pitbull” attorney Andrew Weissmann accuse Ol’ Joe of a cover-up and Rep. Adam Schiff (DCA) suggested that our national security was jeopardized — echoing his accusation against President Trump.

Bad enough for “Papa Doc” and “Baby Doc” Biden to yearn for a Haitian vacation.

balance stood at $611,996.

“We offer our deepest heartfelt gratitude to all donors with folded hands and heads,” Mettu wrote on the donation page. “With the same sincere gratitude, we bring this initiative to a close.”

The last update, Jan. 1, indicates an attorney and an accountant have been engaged to secure the donations for the surviving children, to pay for “kids education and future expenses.”

The largest donation was $2,000. A dozen people donated $1,000 or more. But the giving that heartened me the most came from the hundreds of charitable souls who gave 10 bucks or 20 bucks anonymously.

Such small acts of kindness appear to have fallen out of fashion nowadays, when we are more riveted by celebrity

and cultural influencers, political food fights and the latest Netflix serial killer documentary. I don’t say that as a scold, because I am no less desensitized than any other member of the masses.

Some days I pore over the news mindlessly, half-reading, the words disconnected from meaning. The murders blend together, the mayhem feels like one long horror film. It’s all I can do to flip to the comics, to Blondie, where at least Dagwood Bumstead never ages.

Every once in a while, though, people still have the capacity to surprise and to care. My heart aches for Narayana, Haritha, Gokul and kin.

But epic giving in the face of epic loss? Out of such things, we make meaning from the senseless.

Sarival Logistics Center signs full-building lease

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF

Cushman & Wakefield recently announced the brand new Sarival Logistics Center, an industrial development in Glendale, has signed a full-building lease totaling 1,156,860 square feet with Logistics Plus Inc. (LP), a leading worldwide provider of transportation, logistics and supply chain solutions.

The building was constructed on a speculative basis and represents the first phase of a larger development that can accommodate over 2 million square feet of industrial product when fully built.

A Cushman & Wakefield team comprising Andy Markham, Mike Haenel and Phil Haenel represented the landlord in the lease transaction and led Project Leasing for the campus. Jeremy Trotter of Foremost Commercial represented the tenant.

“We are thrilled to have secured a high-quality tenant to kick off the project and completely fill the first building and first phase of Sarival Logistics Center,” Markham said. “The landlord decided to develop the building on a speculative basis, and their strategy has

been rewarded. This new campus is a highly attractive industrial development situated in one of the hottest corridors in the Southwest U.S. and that, proximate to multiple major freeway routes, offers ideal logistical and transportation access.”

“This transaction also exemplifies the ongoing growth and demand the Phoenix metro market continues to see from industrial users due to its many benefits plus population growth,” Haenel added.

“And many companies are wanting ei-

ther new or Class A modern facilities for their operations.”

Situated approximately 25 miles west of Phoenix, Sarival Logistics Center is strategically positioned at the northeast corner of Loop 303 and Bethany Home Road in Glendale. The property provides immediate access to Loop 303 as well as premier freeway visibility and is within minutes of Interstate 10. The property is also within 30 minutes of two major airports — Phoenix Goodyear and Phoenix Sky Harbor International — and is

less than six hours from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. The campus is among an abundance of other major corporate logistics users.

“(Logistics Plus) stands at the forefront of the growing Glendale distribution market by pioneering the way in this new post COVID era of supply chain logistics,” Trotter said.

The 1,156,860-square-foot Building A includes many highly valued design and functionality features, including 40-foot clear height, 845 auto parking spaces, 409 trailer stalls, 218 dock doors and four drive in dock doors, wide column spacing, ESFR sprinklers, heavy power of 6,000 amps, and LED warehouse lighting.

According to Cushman & Wakefield’s most recent market report, Phoenix Industrial market vacancy stood at 4.9% overall and has recorded 17.7 million square feet of occupancy growth year to date. The West Phoenix submarket, where Sarival Logistics Center is located, has recorded nearly 3 million square feet of occupancy growth year to date, among the highest of all local submarkets.

Ideal Insurance Agency honored as Business of the Week

BY JOE MCHUGH

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Entering its 40th year, Ideal Insurance Agency was recently named Mayor Jerry Weiers’ Business of the Week.

Weiers presented owner David Mitchell and his daughter Sarah Mitchell with the award on Jan. 12.

“Congratulations,” Weiers said. “We are really glad that you guys are in Glendale.”

The Mayor’s Business of the Week award is given out personally by Weiers, and it recognizes businesses that

have been exemplary in their service to the city and the local economy. Instituted in 2014, the program’s aim is to show support to those companies that make the community better.

Sarah said she felt an immense sense of pride in having received the recognition.

“It’s a great honor and not something that everybody is chosen for,” Sarah said. “So, I do find that to be a huge honor. It means a lot, because it shows that we’re putting in the hard work and effort that it takes to properly serve our own insurers.”

Ideal Insurance Agency has two locations in Arizona, one in Glendale and the other in Surprise. The company serves more than 3,500 clients with north of 6,000 policies but provides a different approach to insurers, making them more appealing to work with.

“We don’t just go ahead and quote a price out there, we also give advice,” Dave said. “We provide advice and provide time with an individual so that they feel comfortable with what is being offered. So, we can’t make anybody make the choice of insurance, but we can lead them to that place where

they have enough information so they can make an informed decision.”

“Ideal Insurance Agency is an agency that does care,” Sarah added. “We do take the time to get to know what our insurers are needing, and we give them the best advice that we can, to get them the best policy possible. It’s not just a place that you call, and we just throw a policy together. We actually do take the time to make sure your needs are met, so I think that is what sets us apart.

Ideal Insurance Agency provides

a multitude of services to its clients, which include auto insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, business insurance, commercial insurance, as well as cyber insurance and asset protection. But the family-owned business’ emphasis on customer service has gotten it to the success of the Mayor’s Business of the Week.

Moving forward, the Mitchells aim to continue offering customer service

and top-notch insurance advice, and will use this award to catapult them even higher.

“It’s definitely a lot of motivation because now we’ve been named that way and we definitely want to show the community that this is what we’re made of,” Sarah said.

“This is what they can expect from us. So, I think it definitely helps motivate us to continue to work hard.”

Cardinals hire Monti Ossenfort as GM

BY JOE MCHUGH

Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Arizona Cardinals have made their first move in what could be a long offseason, as they hired former Tennessee Titans director of player personnel Monti Ossenfort to steer the ship as their new general manager.

With so many things in flux, Ossenfort has a blank canvas to work with in hopes of turning the 4-13 team back into a winning franchise.

“When Michael (Bidwill) called yesterday and offered me the job, I said, ‘When can we get started?’” Ossenfort said. “I’m extremely excited. I’ve already had some good conversations this morning with some of the people here. I’m excited to have some more this evening. I can’t wait to get everybody on the same page with my vision and our vision and all of our visions of how we see this thing going forward.”

Ossenfort, who will be getting his

first crack at a general manager job, has a lengthy resume behind him. After starting as a pro personnel intern during the Houston Texans’ inaugural

season in 2002, he worked his way up in the league, ending up with the New England Patriots for 15 seasons, during which he saw seven Super Bowl appearances and four Super Bowl titles as the assistant director of college scouting and the team’s director of college scouting.

After the Titans hired him as the director of player personnel in 2020, he helped sign quarterback Ryan Tannehill to a four-year deal, as well as helped bring in big names like Bud Dupree. Additionally, he assisted with the draft picks of Treylon Burks, Roger McCreary and Caleb Farley.

“I’ve never been a general manager, but I’m excited for the opportunity,”

Ossenfort said. “I feel like the experiences that I’ve had at the three organizations that I’ve been with, I’m going to take pieces from each of those organizations, things that I’ve learned, things that I’ve liked, processes that I’ll keep, but I’m also going to put my own spin on it.”

That said, Ossenfort’s job moving forward is a bit of a double-edged sword. On one side, he has plenty of room to make his mark early on. The Cardinals have secured the third overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, giving the team opportunities to address key needs with a premium player or trade out of the pick to get more value and address more needs.

The team is also ranked ninth in total cap space, with $23 million available to spend on free agents and re-sign key talent. Lastly, the team has a vacancy at head coach after having fired Kliff Kingsbury, which gives Ossenfort the

Young Diamondbacks determined to end postseason drought

BY DANIEL MACHAJ Cronkite News

Let’s face it: The Arizona Diamondbacks have had a rough decade, especially in recent years. The team has one postseason appearance in 10 years, and that ended with a decisive defeat to the eventual league champion Dodgers. The last time they won a playoff series was in 2007, before they were swept by Colorado in the NLCS.

That said, hope may be on the horizon.

The Diamondbacks organization has one of the best groups of young players making their way to the big leagues and is currently ranked as the fifth-best farm system in the majors. In fact, Arizona ranked top 10 in farm systems in each of the last five polls, including during the preseason and midseason.

The Diamondbacks need to meet many

goals, and the biggest among them has to be ending their current postseason drought. High hopes began to build to start the 2022 season, as Alek Thomas made his major league debut back in early May.

“You don’t know how good you are until, you know, you play here,” Thomas said.

The rookie outfielder got off to a strong start, impressing fans with his standout defense and showing off his aggressive bat. A Chicago product out of Mount Carmel High School, Thomas is one of many young Diamondbacks who played ball at a top baseball high school in the country. He committed to Texas Christian to play baseball and football before choosing to go straight to pro ball and swiftly earned his way into the majors.

core is Jake McCarthy. He debuted late last season, putting up average rookie numbers, and has quietly improved his batting average from .220 to .283 at the end of his first full season this year. Taking more at-bats this year, McCarthy has taken full advantage of the opportunity to become a solid big leaguer. He touched on his burst of success late in the season.

“A little more experience, a little more at-bats under my belt — I wouldn’t say there’s a glaring change in my game, just understanding that I’m capable of playing at this level,” McCarthy said.

There is plenty of excitement about the current young Diamondback big leaguers, but perhaps no one is attracting more attention than outfielder phenom Druw Jones. Jones was just recently selected second overall in the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft and is ranked 12th overall on MLB’s 2022 top prospect list.

He is expected to have a smooth and speedy experience through the minors before joining the bigs and following in the footsteps of his father (Andruw Jones), who won 10 Gold Gloves and earned five All-Star appearances during his 17-year career.

In high school, Druw led Wesleyan School to a Georgia state title while taking home the Georgia Player of the Year award. He committed to Vanderbilt as a sophomore, but he blossomed quickly in the next two seasons and

earned an $8,189,400 signing bonus. The third-highest bonus in MLB Draft history, the decision was easy.

The Diamondbacks see Jones as a great combination of power and speed with his 6-foot-4, 180-pound frame. They see him as the final puzzle piece to complete this young and highly skilled outfield core.

The outfield seems to be covered from a scouting standpoint, but reinforcements are needed for the rest of the field and the pitching staff. It’s difficult — and that’s putting it lightly — to have a playoff-caliber ball club without good pitching. So while the new guys gain experience in their first few seasons, it’s a great time to let them develop and acquire better pitching.

The Diamondbacks ended the season with the eighth-worst team ERA in the majors — an improvement from ending the 2021 season with the second-worst mark. If it wasn’t for Zac Gallen’s excellent 2.54 ERA, they would certainly be closer to the bottom of that list.

So, how long will it take for the D-backs to get back to the postseason?

Well, it’s a bit more realistic with the new 12-team playoff format, but the organization will have to make some serious moves and acquisitions to end the drought.

And behind a plethora of young talent, big things could be on the horizon.

opportunity to search far and wide for the right leader for this Cardinals team. Bidwill announced the team will look internally and externally for that leader, interviewing defensive coordinator Vance Joseph as well as requesting interviews with other coaches across the league.

“We’re looking for a head coach that can lead this entire organization,” Ossenfort said. “We’re looking for a head coach that can develop all the players, so we want the right coach. And whether that’s an offensive coach or a defensive coach, it, frankly, doesn’t matter. We want the best coach.”

On the other side, there are looming problems that need to be addressed.

Starting with the impending 30 unrestricted free agents the Cardinals have this year, including names like Rodney Hudson, Byron Murphy, Will Hernandez and A.J. Green, among others, it will be a task in itself to find the right players to bring back.

Other problems will be dealing with the rumors of trading star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and the recovery

of quarterback Kyler Murray, making Ossenfort’s job difficult from the start.

“I believe it represents a lot of opportunity, and I think there are pieces in place here that we can work with, that we can improve, that we continue moving in the right direction,” Ossenfort said. “And I think there’s a ton of opportunity here. And when we get the right head coach in place, and we get our vision aligned, I think there’s an opportunity for us to grow.

All in all, the new hire brings a fresh set of eyes to a team that struggled heavily last season. Ossenfort’s fresh ideologies might be what cures the ailment of the 2022-23 season for the Cardinals. This culture shock will show itself in time, but for now, the team has made its first step to recovery.

“We are not just collecting talent, we’re going to build a team,” Ossenfort said. “We’re going to look for the right type of players. Ego will not be tolerated in this organization. We are going to look for focused, driven people that are willing to put the team first at every step of the way.”

‘The Bus’ rolls through Glendale to spread Super Bowl hype

BY JOE MCHUGH

Glendale Star Staff Writer

With the Super Bowl looming just under a month away, PepsiCo and Walmart hosted a fan giveaway event featuring Super Bowl MVP running back and Hall of Famer Jerome Bettis.

“The Bus” found lucky fans at the Walmart Supercenter just one mile from the Super Bowl LVII venue at State Farm Stadium and surprised them with exciting gifts, which included tickets to the big game.

“It was just a fun opportunity for us to connect our brands to consumers,” said Mic Zavarella, vice president of Walmart Inc. marketing at PepsiCo. “We are very social brands at PepsiCo. We are all about gatherings and parties and such. Being able to put an event like that together, where you’re surprising someone with an experience of a lifetime.”

On Jan. 18, the decorated running back came out and was the face of the event. Starting with a quick broadcast bit, where he and a Walmart employee showed their excitement for the give-

away, Bettis then hit the store with a slew of prizes.

The prizes given away included two sets of tickets to the Super Bowl, 10 NFL Experience tickets, signed merchandise, Walmart gift cards and PepsiCo products.

“He’s fun, he’s easy to work with and just a darn good person,” Zavarella said. “Being able to bring him in something like this, it just adds to the ex-

citement and adds to the delight when the consumers are there. So, I felt very fortunate that we had an opportunity to work with Jerome.”

The event helped with PepsiCo and Walmart’s vision to bring all eyes to its products with the game approaching quickly.

“When you bring someone like Jerome, who brings himself to every occasion fully, he is right there, just

as happy and delighted to be doing what he’s doing as the people that are receiving the gift, it helps you with that brand connection,” Zavarella said. “He’s warm, he’s gracious, he’s outgoing, and it’s a lot of the same things with our brand.”

For Zavarella, the event was a wild success. All eyes are set to be on Arizona, with two of the biggest sporting events in the country happening on the same weekend — the Waste Management Phoenix Open included — and it presents big opportunities for PepsiCo and Walmart.

“It’s evolved from a simple awareness that consumers expect more out of marketers, they expect more companies, they expect more out of the brands and those companies,” Zavarella said. “They want you to authentically make a difference in their lives, they want you to make an authentic connection. And that’s what we did with the event and Walmart. It’s not something we’re putting on a giant commercial.

“But for the folks that were there, and they saw the authentic connection we made, it makes a difference.”

Stray Cats’ Lee Rocker to ‘rock this town’ on new tour nearby

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

Glendale Star Executive Editor

Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Lee

Rocker will celebrate his 40year career during his latest spot to the Vista Center for the Arts in Surprise.

“It’s a concert of songs really cherry-picked from my four-decade career,” said Rocker, who played upright bass for Stray Cats.

“I’m going back to Stray Cats and through my solo records. I’ve also had an amazing career of people I’ve worked with, ranging from Keith Rich-

ards, Levon Helm and Carl Perkins. I’ll incorporate some behind-the-scenes storytelling and film. There’s a screen behind the stage, so we’re running all kind of cool stuff. It’s a concert and more.”

Rocker made his mark singing, playing, standing on, spinning and rocking his giant upright bass as a founding member of the Grammy-nominated music group Stray Cats.

Led by singer-guitarist Brian Setzer, the band sold more than 10 million albums, garnered 23 gold- and platinum-certified records, and were among the early music-video pioneers of

MTV. Among the Stray Cats’ hits were “Rock This Town,” “Stray Cat Strut” and “Sexy and Seventeen.”

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame included “Rock this Town” as one of the “500 most important songs in rock history.”

Rocker co-founded Stray Cats with Setzer and Slim Jim Phantom in his dad’s garage on Massapequa, Long Island. At age 17, they left New York for London.

“We bought four airline seats — three for the band and one for the upright bass,” he said with a laugh. “We slept in parks, movie theaters and just

knocked on doors. We were teenagers, so it was fine. It was fun. I wouldn’t want to do it now that way.”

Soon after landing in London, Stray Cats landed a record deal.

“My life and career have been like being shot out of a cannon,” he said.

“It just took off and nothing was ever the same. The three of us are still in touch all the time. We’ve made a lot of great music.”

Stray Cats were never known for chasing trends, instead sticking with Americana/rock/rockabilly — “all of the above.”

ROCKER FROM PAGE 22

“It’s a form of music that is uniquely of America,” he added.

“It has a look and a groove. It just always works.”

To spark inspiration and to cure boredom, Rocker and his wife, fashion designer Deborah Drucker, headed out in an Airstream to explore the United States during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“COVID clearly affected everybody in lots of ways for myself and everyone in the music world,” he said.

“It just shut down for 18 months. That was a bizarre time, really. In order to cope with it, my wife and I got an Airstream RV and just traveled. I’m so used to going from town to town. We went from California to New York to Chicago to New Orleans. We really kept to ourselves, traveled around the country and wrote music while we did it.”

Rocker considers himself blessed, being in a happy marriage, working with top-notch musicians, and extending his career 40 years.

“I’ve been so fortunate to work with so many people,” Rocker said.

“I played with the Rolling Stones and did some concert dates in the United States with them — that was amazing — and invited Keith Richards to play on a solo record. It’s a pretty funny scene where Keith came down to the studio and showed up in the middle of the night with a Fender Telecaster and a medicine bag full of medicine.

“At the end of the night, I didn’t know what to do. Do I pay Keith? He walked up to the coat rock, put on my custom-made jacket and walked out. That was a high point of my career.”

Who gets the accolades when it matters most?

Afarmer collected horses, and he only needed one more breed to complete his collection. Then, one day, he found out that his neighbor had a particular breed of horse that he needed. The motivated farmer bothered his neighbor until he sold the horse to him.

A month later, the horse became ill. The farmer called his veterinarian, who said, “Your horse has a virus. He must take this medicine for three days. I’ll come back on the third day, and if he’s not better, we’ll have to put him down.”

Nearby, the pig listened closely to their conversation. The farmer gave the horse the medicine. The pig approached the horse and said, “Be strong, my friend. Get up, or else they’ll put you to sleep!”

On the second day, the farmer gave the horse the medicine again. The pig approached the horse and said, “Come on, buddy, get up, or else you’re going to die! Come on. I’ll help you get up. Let’s go! One, two and three, now get up!” But the horse did not respond.

On the third day, the farmer administered the medicine again. The veterinarian then said to the farmer. “Unfortunately, we’ll have to put your horse down tomorrow. Otherwise, the virus he has might spread and infect the other horses.”

After they left, the pig approached the horse, “Listen, pal, it’s now or never! Get up, come on! Have courage! Come on! Get up! Get up! That’s it, slowly! Great! Come on, one, two and three; good, good! Now faster, come on. Fantastic! Run, run more! Yes! You did it.”

When the farmer returned, he saw the horse running in the field and began

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION

shouting, “It’s a miracle! My horse is cured. This deserves a party. Let’s kill the pig!”

Have you ever felt like that pig? You worked hard in a supporting role to accomplish a goal, and your boss gets the credit when success finally comes along. Or perhaps you invented something working for your company, but your company got the patent. Then you got fired because the company didn’t need you anymore. And who gets the accolades after a football game, the quarterback or the offensive linemen? Learning to live without recognition is truly a humbling experience. Unfortunately, our culture focuses on the “sage on the stage” rather than the “guide by their side.” But, as you and I should know, not much happens without the contributors who make things happen. In other words, if you see a turtle on the fence, it’s for sure the turtle had help to get there.

Here’s a true story from author John

Maxwell about the behind-the-scenes people we all need to get to where we are going.

During the 1800s, a famous organist traveled from town to town across America giving concerts. It was in the days of the old pump organs, so in each town, he hired a boy to work the pump behind the organ during the concert. After a performance in one town, he couldn’t shake the young boy he’d hired.

As the organist walked toward his hotel in the cool of the evening, the boy beamed up at him. “We sure had a great concert tonight, didn’t we?” “You mean I had a great concert tonight,” the maestro replied. “You only pumped the organ. Now, go home!”

The next night, the organist gave another concert in the same town. And, once again, the boy worked the bellows behind the scenes. The opening piece of the concert was a beautiful fugue by Bach. But as the performer masterfully attacked the notes of the second piece, the music suddenly stopped, his rapid fingering bringing nothing more than a faint clicking sound from the keyboard. That’s when the little boy stuck his head around the corner of the organ, smiled, and said to the maestro, “We aren’t having a magnificent concert to-

night, are we?”

Thank God for the people in our lives of significance and value, the unsung heroes, and our transportation agents, who support us but don’t get the accolades. My wife, Becky, is a perfect example. As a pastor and speaker, I receive accolades and recognition. She has a more demanding job. She puts up with me. The truth is, I may be the flamethrower, but God and Becky are the fuel. I’m telling you, Becky, and our kids, are spies sent from God to me. And they are very proficient at their assignment.

Here is a word of encouragement for you “guides by their side.” Jesus said in the Beatitudes, “Blessed are the gentle or humble, for they shall inherit the earth.” In other words, the crowd may not know who did the work, but God does. So wait until you see who gets the accolades in heaven.

Here’s your takeaway. Maybe there is a behind-the-scenes person or persons who, without any call for attention, have worked tirelessly to help you, the turtle, get on that fence. Maybe it’s your spouse, kids, staff at work, counselor, teammates or someone else. Thank them. Give them some accolades now. But please, don’t make your transportation agents wait for sincere words of thanks and kudos until they get to heaven. If you make their day, you’ll make your day.

Temple Beth Shalom’s classes open to people of all faiths

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF

People of all faiths are welcome to participate in Temple Beth Shalom of the West Valley’s education classes, “America’s Four Gods” and “Gratitude,” in February at the temple.

America’s Four Gods

This interactive four-week program will be led by Rabbi Dana Evan Kaplan and temple President Fay Henning-Bryant from 10 to 11 a.m. Thursdays Feb. 2, 9, 16 and 23. It is based on the book “America’s Four Gods: What We Say About God — And What That Says About Us,” written by Paul Froese and Christopher Bader.

The authors developed a self-administered survey instrument that enables each participant to answer a series of questions that provides them feedback about how they conceive of God and the role God plays in their daily lives. Individual survey results are private.

Through discussion led by Kaplan and Henning-Bryant, participants will be able to see how one conceives of God is relevant to current conditions in America and to better understand how perceptions of God are powerful predictors of how we feel about some of the most contentious issues in America today.

Cost is $18 for members and $36 for nonmembers. Advance registration and payment are required by Monday, Jan. 30. Register by contacting the Temple Beth Shalom office at 623-977-3240 or templebethshalomaz@gmail.com.

Gratitude

This four-week class about gratitude will be led by Kaplan and Reva Litt, a Temple Beth Shalom member, from 10 to 11 a.m. Tuesdays Feb. 7, 14, 21

and 28.

The program will draw from many sources, including “The Psychology of Gratitude and The Little Book of Gratitude: Create a life of Happiness and Wellbeing by Giving Thanks.”

Gratitude will be explored from many perspectives. Throughout history and around the world, religious leaders, philosophers, psychologists and research scientists have extolled the virtue of gratitude.

Cost is $18 for members and $36 for nonmembers. Advance registration and payment are required by Thursday, Feb. 2. Contact the Temple Beth Shalom office at 623-977-3240 or templebethshalomaz@gmail.com to register.

Big Brothers Big Sisters seeks male mentors

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona, along with chapters across Arizona, is leveraging National Mentoring Month to highlight the tremendous demand for male mentors across the state.

“Having a great role model in your life is remarkably powerful,” said Laura Capello, president and chief executive officer of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona.

“As people are considering how to make positive changes in the new year, we are encouraging them to make the big resolution to get involved, better themselves

and the life of a child. Recruiting volunteers is one of our top priorities, and this is a great time for people to get involved.”

The organization launched the Be Bold Be Big recruitment campaign, designed to be laser-focused on the current need of male mentors, or Big Brothers. While the organization encourages both female and male Bigs to sign up, the list for young boys waiting to be matched is considerable.

Throughout the month, Big Brothers Big Sisters will share the importance of mentoring and the tremendously positive impact it can have on the personal growth and development of young peo-

ple. It will stress the need for males to step up for local youth now more than ever. The Be Bold Be Big campaign will include network television, local radio and digital media across Arizona.

The core model of the organization is focused on building bridges in communities by connecting one adult with one child and supporting that match at every stage. The organization focuses on a child’s potential and the role of positive adults in helping children achieve their best possible futures.

Cactus High students build roadworthy electric vehicle

BY AUTRIYA MANESHNI Cronkite News

Most high school students begin their day behind a desk, pencils in hand. Students in Cactus High School’s automotive classes begin their day under a car, tools in hand. Some work on gas-powered cars, but others are learning to build something brand new for the school’s curriculum: an electric vehicle.

“Right now, we’ve got all the suspension done,” said Felix Ramirez, automotive instructor for 105 students at Cactus High. “We’ve got the motor in; we have the wiring harnesses for the electric motor, and we’re working now on the battery compartment side of it.”

All the parts for the roadworthy electric vehicle (EV) the students are constructing this semester came from

Switch Vehicles in California. The company’s Switch Lab program provides students with a build-it-yourself kit.

“What is unique about this car, it was made for schools,” Ramirez said. “There’s a lot of labs out there, but they don’t build a car. And there’s a lot of electric cars out there that can hurt a kid.”

The kit comes with everything needed to build the three-wheeled two-seater, including the frame, wiring, battery, seats and steering components. With Ramirez’s guidance, students follow the Switch manual to assemble the vehicle.

“This is actually going to have fullbody panels on it, so it’s going to look a lot more closed,” said Aiden Bratton, one of Ramirez’s students. “There’s

obviously no doors, but you just climb in through the window.”

From a distance, the vehicle looks like a big go-kart. Depending on the battery, it can produce 40 to 108 horsepower. All the vehicles can support 110- to 240-volt input, which falls in about the same range as the voltage of a standard electrical outlet.

Bratton has been involved in many parts of the build process. Although the work has been tough, he’s had a couple of wins along the way.

“A success was getting the steering finally put together and working because that took me forever,” Bratton said. “I probably put 48 hours into the steering because I couldn’t get it fixed.”

Abel Graber, another one of Ramirez’s students, helped build the

controller unit, which maintains the energy flow from the battery and governs the vehicle’s speed.

“When you work on an electric vehicle, you have to have a lot of patience,” Graber said. “(It’s) nothing like the gas vehicles.”

An electric vehicle requires less maintenance than a gasoline-powered counterpart. Some of the maintenance requirements for a gas car are frequent oil changes and exhaust system repairs. An electric vehicle has fewer moving parts, and most don’t require constant upkeep.

Repair shops that work on gasoline-powered vehicles greatly outnumber shops that work on EVs, which is why programs like the one at Cactus might be crucial to ensure the EV re-

pair infrastructure catches up in the near future.

Building the EV from scratch requires a lot of brain power and organization, Graber said.

To keep all the automotive classes organized, Ramirez uses interns — students who have completed all four auto tech classes.

Bryanna Ferguson is one of Ramirez’s interns. They come from a family of car lovers.

“My father did some drag racing for a while. He had his own car and everything,” Ferguson said. “My mom used to work on a computer all day. And my dad used to work in a parts department. So, I kind of get both sides of everything. And that’s how I kind of got into it. It’s just being around it all the time.”

They arrive at the school bright and early, ready to assist students in each of the four automotive classes.

“With the electric vehicle, I help them make sure that they kind of have everything they need, or at least try to make sure they have everything they need,” Ferguson said. “So that’s kind

of a lot of the stuff that I’ve been doing right now. But it’s kind of chill for now.”

Ramirez said many of his students also can earn Automotive Service Excellence Certificates by taking ASE tests in specific categories.

“They will also be taking ASE test certification at the student level, in

brakes, electrical steering suspension,” Ramirez said. “We’re paying for the test. And the kid will graduate with at least three or four ASE Certs when they’re done with this program.”

Currently, the tests for high schoolers are offered for standard automobile, collision repair and heavy truck certifications. Ramirez said an EV test

is in the works and hopefully will be added in the near future.

Ferguson, who’s looking to enter the automotive industry someday, appreciates the head start they’ve gotten since freshman year at Cactus.

“Working with the electric vehicles and the regular vehicles is good, because you get both experiences that way,” Ferguson said. “It’s not just a one-sided thing.”

Ramirez has been teaching for 36 years, 23 of them at Cactus. Around his classroom are posters highlighting some of the accomplishments of his past students. Some moved on to a four-year college while others entered the military. Seeing his students achieve their goals is what makes his job rewarding.

“My goal is to get these guys into the industry and to get them to start doing things or go to a college,” Ramirez said. “I have a girl, this nuclear engineer, four-year auto student in the Navy. So I want them to do something, and then I’ve done my job.”

Steps include background checks, physical environment inspections and training to ensure a safe environment for the member(s). Our agency provides guidance to work through these steps with you and / or your family. Individuals or families wanting to welcome our adults into your home, should be caring, compassionate and attentive to the needs of the members.

If interested, please email ddfosterhomes@az-cap.com to learn more, or if you have questions or would like to initiate this exciting process.

Answering Tough Questions

Nobody really knows where they’ll be in five years. You’ll be asked anyway. Interviews allow hiring managers to get a broader idea of who you are than any resume could ever provide. This question in particular allows them to understand your goals.

WHAT THEY’RE LOOKING FOR

The question of where you see yourself in five years is meant to measure both motivation and planning skills, and to gauge how you match with the prospective role. Companies want to know what value you’ll bring as a person, beyond your experience, and how determined you are to keep learning and achieving. Your answer also frames your place in the company, as a valuable team member or perhaps an emerging leader.

People who think too little — or too much — about moving into management can find themselves on the outside looking in when a hiring decision is made. The five-year query goes directly to the heart of that decision. If you’re under-qualified or under-experienced and argue you should be the CEO in a handful of years, your answer has illustrated a certain professional immaturity. Veteran employees with a lengthy job history but no ambition to move up may be signaling a lack of engagement or work ethic.

HOW TO ANSWER

Start with a key goal or two, connecting these benchmarks with qualities you’re trying to convey to the hiring manager. Then transition to how you plan to get there and why it’s important to you. Conclude by stating how this all fits into your large career arc. Don’t make a joke, imply that you

don’t intend to be with the company that long or make it clear that you’ve never really considered the question before. Maybe you’ve realized that this isn’t your dream job. Or maybe you just don’t know where you’d like to be in five years. It’s OK to say that, but it won’t create the clearest pathway to being hired.

Instead, try to tailor your job search so that it fits into the real answer. If that’s not immediately possible, consider how this position can help you build needed and desired experience for later. Deeper understanding of this job, or this company, could eventually open doors to other employment opportunities that better fit your goals. Maybe it’s just a chance to grow personally, as a professional or as a manager. That can become a cornerstone of your long-term plan in the meantime.

BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF

Too often the question of where you’d like to be five years is considered from an external point of view. But the answer is about more than looking good during a job interview with a prospective employer. Set realistic career expectations, and you’ll sell them on your candidacy — while also laying out an achievable set of benchmarks for yourself.

Where you see yourself in five years could, if approached the right way, become your professional destiny. For instance, if you’re a naturally ambitious person, some jobs may simply be too unfulfilling to pursue. If the position doesn’t align with or advance your larger professional goals, then you may need to keep looking.
