Gun sales skyrocketing this year

Around Glendale, the pandemic plus politics equals a severe shortage of guns.

The term “flying off the shelves” is almost literal, at Hits and Miss’s, a Peoria gun shop near Glendale Community College.

Like other gun shop owners around the West Valley, Jon Halgren is having a hard time keeping firearms stocked at Hits and Miss’s.

“Whatever I get in here sells. It’s just a question of when I can get supply,” he said. “I am talking empty shelves.”

ROE Armory in Glendale is also having trouble getting guns and ammunition.

“That past two months for me have been slow, only because I can’t get supplies. But when I do get stuff, it goes out the door really fast,” owner Michael Sanchez said.

On ROE Armory’s website, nearly every handgun, rifle and ammunition product is marked “sold out.”

“It’s frustrating,” said Halgren, a veteran who started his business after a 20year career at Luke Air Force Base.

“I miss the days when somebody comes in and says, ‘I want this particular gun,’ and I say, “Give me five minutes and I’ll order it.’”

And it’s not just guns — bullets also are selling fast.

“I had 9 mm ammo show up Tuesday morning at 11. By 1 o’clock I was sold

Glendale city manager seeking a raise

BUSINESS .... 16

January 28, 2021

In 2020, Kevin Phelps skippered his staff and city council to significantly expand the city of Glendale, guiding multiple annexation projects that literally moved the map.

This week, Glendale City Council will consider giving Phelps a raise.

“A request for council to review the terms and consider approval of the city manager’s employment contract” is a featured item on the Tuesday, Jan. 26, Glendale City Council meeting agenda.

Phelps has been the Glendale city manager since 2015.

Since then, he has slowly turned around what appeared to be a teetering ship, guiding Glendale back from the brink of bankruptcy to a buoyant bank balance. Much of that was fueled by major business developments including White Claw

and Red Bull in the city’s expanding western boundaries.

His contract was previously adjusted in 2018, with an upgrade to a base salary of $229,500.

Over the next two years, 2.5% base salary increases took him to annual base pay of $241,118.

Phelps is requesting a 13% increase to a base salary of $272,000.

According to Sue Breding, a city spokeswoman, “a market review of city manager salaries was conducted. This adjustment will bring the city of Glendale from ranking eighth in city manager base pay to fourth out of our 10 benchmark cities.”

If council approves the increase, Phelps would also be eligible for an annual performance evaluation and a potential 1.5% — $4,080 — bonus.

GCC celebrates Black History Month

BY AYANNA MUHAMMAD Glendale Star Staff Writer

Glendale Community College will host several events honoring key Black cultural figures and celebrating Black History Month during February.

All events will be hosted on Zoom.

Links and more information can be found at gccaz.edu/event-calendar.

To start off the month, the college will host a teleparty for the community to watch the four-part Netflix series “When They See Us,” which is based on the true story of the wrongly accused Central Park Five.

The first viewing will be on Feb. 1 at 2 p.m., and one episode will be watched every week, except for the week of Valentine’s Day. The school will host two Black history trivia events, at 1 p.m. Feb. 12 and Feb. 19, and a Black History Month presentation by Michael Kelly at 10 a.m. Feb. 10 to discuss “Red, Blue & White: The Third Reconstruction.”

There will also be a presentation of the Langston Hughes poem “Ask Your Mama: 12 Moods for Jazz” at 8 a.m. Feb. 8, 15 and 22 hosted by Dr. Don McCurdy. He will also host a live Q&A presentation regarding the poem at noon Feb. 24.

punch a clock and will have a flexible, if demanding, schedule, as the contract notes: “It is understood and agreed that (the city manager) will be required not only to work during normal office hours but also will spend considerable time outside of these hours including, but not limited to, attendance at council meetings. It is agreed and understood that (the city manager) is allowed personal time off as compensation with said time to be determined at employee’s discretion.”

The city will also pay up to $12,000 annually for the city manager’s “dues, memberships and attendance at seminars of professional organizations.”

And, if approved, Glendale will pay Phelps an additional $450 per month ($5,400 per year) for vehicle allowance, with Phelps “expected to use his personal vehicle for all city business.”

In return, forget about the standard “two-week notice”: If Phelps wants to quit the job, he agrees to give the city advance notice of six months.

The city manager’s employment is “at the pleasure of city council.”

On the flip side, he can be shown the door at any time.

Four or more council members can vote to fire Phelps “at any regular or special meeting … for any reason or no reason.”

But, if council sends Phelps packing, he will receive “nine months base pay,” or $204,000, according to the contract.

“I have a grand total of seven handguns” for sale, he said Jan. 21, the day after the inauguration.

Politics and the pandemic are the factors he and others are pointing to in explaining a gun shortage he calls “absolutely crazy. And, in my point of view, not necessary,” Halgren said.

The gun shop owner said the run on guns came in three phases.

“It started in March with the coronavirus scare. Everyone hoarded 500 rolls of toilet paper and decided, ‘Someone might want to steal my toilet paper so I better get a gun,’” he said with a growly chuckle.

“The riots were the second part.

“Then, every time there’s a presidential election, people go crazy. Now, people are still in a panic. They think, ‘The Democrat party is going to take away my guns.’”

Back when the pandemic began, he

National trend

According to a Cronkite News story, background checks for gun purchases in Arizona hit their highest level ever in 2020. At the beginning of December, 610,911 background checks had been performed in the state through November, well over the 372,912 done in all of 2019, according to FBI data.

Nationally, firearm background checks reached an all-time high of nearly 3.9 million in December, according to NICS Firearm Checks data.

Arizona mirrored that trend, doubling the total number of firearm background checks from 2019 to 2020.

With increased gun purchases, store owners are challenged with keeping products on their shelves.

Veerachart Murphy has seen this rise firsthand at his gun shop AZ Ammo near the Deer Valley Airport, where his sales doubled from 6.5 million in 2019 to 13 million in 2020.

Recently, Murphy is seeing a shift in the types of products he is selling.

The Glendale

Guns and ammunition remain in demand, but since the Capitol riots people are looking for body armor and long-lasting food prep Murphy said.

“Right now we still see a huge (increase) of sales because of what is going on with the Capitol, the uncertainty of the presidential handover, what is going on in the House right now with the impeachment procedures,” he said.

“Our first-time buyers were all over the board, liberal, conservative and independent,” Murphy said.

Whatever their political leanings, Halgren in Peoria has a message for newcomers: Know what you’re doing.

“A lot of the first-timers that come in here, the way they handle guns — some of them scare me to death,” he said. “I’ll tell them, ‘You need to get some training before you buy a gun. … You will end up hurting yourself or killing someone, and I don’t want to be a part of that.’”

Glendale Community College and others teach gun safety. According to its website, GCC offers “firearms training classes, from beginner to advanced, taught by Arizona police officers and certified Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors who stress all aspects of safe handling, storing and responsible firearm usage.”

Rep. Payne pushes for notarized ballots

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

A plan by a Peoria lawmaker to curb what he says is an opportunity for election fraud could end up throwing roadblocks in the path of some who want to cast a ballot.

District 21 Republican Rep. Kevin Payne said something needs to be done to ensure that the ballots showing up in the mail actually were cast by the individuals to whom they were addressed.

He said the current system of election workers trying to match signatures on ballot envelopes with what’s on file is far from foolproof.

His solution: notaries.

More to the point, his HB 2369 would require attestation by a notary that the person whose name is on the envelope was in fact the person who signed it. No notarization? No vote.

Payne conceded that some people don’t have easy access to a notary. And that, he said, likely includes residents of his legislative district, which includes the Sun City retirement community, who may be too infirm to go out and hunt down someone who can attest to their signature.

But Payne told Capitol Media Services he is undeterred, saying there’s a real problem.

By law, anyone with an early ballot already has to sign the envelope. It is that signature that election workers review to see if it appears to match other signatures already on file.

Payne told Capitol Media Services he was besieged by emails before the election — he estimated they were at one

point coming in at five per minute — of people questioning whether all those early ballots actually came from real voters.

Much of that likely was fueled by claims by former President Donald Trump and Rudy Giuliani, his personal lawyer, that mail-in voting was subject to massive fraud.

Adding fuel to the issue was a report on Fox News that someone apparently applied for and cast an early ballot for a man who used to live in Arizona but had since moved to Tennessee. Nashion Garrett told Laura Ingraham said it appears that a mail-in ballot was sent to his old address.

“But I haven’t lived in Arizona in over a year,’’ he said.

Payne said there’s no danger of that happening if a notary has to verify that

the legally required signature on early ballot envelopes matches the person whose name is on there.

Secretary of State Katie Hobbs told Capitol Media Services she’s not buying it.

Hobbs said a check of voter registration records does reveal a Nashion Garrett. But she said he was placed on the “inactive voter’’ list after he didn’t vote in several prior elections and mail to his residence was returned.

And Hobbs was similarly unimpressed by various other claims of fraud, none of which were ever proven in court.

“We cannot legislate based on misinformation that came out of this election,’’ she said.

Hobbs said the current system of matching signatures works.

“That doesn’t mean that one person might not slip through the cracks,’’ she said. “But we don’t need to burden every single voter in our state because one person might have slipped through the cracks.’’

That goes to the fact that early voting is very popular in Arizona, at least in part because of its ease. In fact, during the last presidential race more than 88% of the ballots were early ballots.

And at least part of that has to do with simplicity.

Voters can request an early ballot before each election. Or they can choose to be on a “permanent early voting list’’ where they are guaranteed to get a ballot in the mail ahead of each election.

The safeguard is supposed to be the signature comparison done by county

election workers. Payne said he’s not convinced that’s working.

“They’re not trained like a forensic scientist would be, or a handwriting analyst who sits down and looks at the loop on the L and the cross on the T, the close on the O or the close on the P,’’ he said.

Beyond that, Payne said doing those envelope-by-envelope checks is time consuming. A notarized signature, he said, eliminates the need for all that.

That, however, still leaves the question of whether all that will create a new burden on voters, particularly those who may have a hard time getting around — if they get out at all — to find a notary.

“That’s certainly not my intention,’’ Payne said.

Hobbs, however, said that would be the result.

“Not everybody has access to a notary,’’ she said. What that means, Hobbs said, is a trip to a bank or post office or somewhere a notary might be present.

One option, Payne suggested, might be to provide incentives for notaries to go to the homes and apartments of those who need that signature verification.

Hobbs said that still leaves another hurdle.

“They charge,’’ she said, creating what amounts to a “poll tax,’’ where people have to pay to exercise their right to vote Payne said that aspect could be avoided if the state picked up the tab. But that, in turn, would require an unknown amount of tax dollars to administer.

The lawmaker said he remains open to suggestions.

CDAC considers multiple applications for HUD funds

BY SARA CASTRO

Glendale Star Staff Writer

The city of Glendale’s Community Development Advisory Committee discussed applications for Community Development Block Grant funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development at its Jan. 21 meeting.

Each year, the city of Glendale receives allocations of CDBG funds from HUD, and per regulations, communities that receive these funds may use up to 15% of their total allocation to provide public services. The total anticipated funding available for this year is about $370,000 based on this regulation.

For the 2021-22 year, the CDAC and Glendale City Council chose to limit these funds to services that benefit special populations such as seniors, at-risk youth, the disabled and victims of domestic violence.

Services that benefit the homeless population are not included in this year’s application process since they will be procured separately.

The grant application process opened on Nov. 30 and closed Dec. 31. A total of 16 applications from nonprofit organizations were received with a total “ask” of $750,408.

The CDAC discussed a new allocation of funding for these 16 applications that was introduced at the meeting.

The committee set aside $500,000 received from the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program that is specifically for COVID-19-related programs and low-income families. Members discussed whether it would be a good idea to use this money set aside to fund all applications.

“More money will come into the community through the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program rather than our $500,000 in terms of impact,” said Monica Schroeder, of the city’s Community Development department.

The 16 organizations that applied for CDBG funds are: A New Leaf, Arizona YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix, Back To School Clothing Drive Organization, Boys and Girls Club of the Valley, Chicanos Por La Causa, Community Legal

Services, Duet Partners in Health and Aging, Glencroft Center for Modern Aging, Goldensun Peace Ministries, Gompers, International Rescue Committee in Tucson, One Step Beyond, Operation Enduring Gratitude Foundation, Phoenix Gospel Mission/Phoenix Rescue Mission, Sun City Area Interfaith Services and VALLEYLIFE. The amounts requested include $266,480 for emergency food distribution, $62,000 for the Glendale Grow digital program and $80,000 for YWCA senior programs.

“I looked at the applicants, and I was really excited about a lot of the different types of requests; and if we have the money, I’m all-in favor of fully funding everyone. I just think COVID-19 has made such an impact on all these organizations, and they’re all really trying to take care of needs,” said committee member Leslee Miele.

If members were to decide not to fully fund all 16 applications, then city employees will provide CDAC with copies of eligible applications, staff review worksheets and a scoring matrix. This matrix scores each application on four categories, including administrative costs and overall financial health of the applicant, impact within the community and ability to identify and satisfy need with proposed funding, the application’s specific focus on the city of Glendale, and miscellaneous factors.

“All these applicants are really serving very different needs, so I knew it was going to be a really hard discussion picking in between how we are going to prioritize what the needs are, because they are very drastically different from each other,” said committee member Abby Vick.

“So, yes I would love to have more cash so they could provide these programs.”

The CDAC voted to recommend Glendale City Council divert funding that was previously approved for public housing Wi-Fi to fully fund all CDBG applications. City council will decide on the recommendation.

State Farm Stadium leads way on vaccinations

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF According to Dr. Cara Christ, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services, Arizona went over the 450,000 mark for vaccine doses administered. More than 63,000 doses have been administered at the state’s first 24/7 vaccination site at State Farm Stadium.

“We are getting more and more doses into the arms of Arizonans,” said Christ. “The success of our State Farm Stadium vaccination site has made it clear that Arizona can efficiently and effectively administer vaccine to large numbers.”

She said more vaccine supplies are needed: “Now the federal government has to step up its game and provide additional vaccine to support Arizona’s proven momentum.”

As of Jan. 25, the state gave 458,461 COVID-19 vaccine doses to 343,264 individuals, including 69,646 who have received both doses.

ADHS requested an ongoing 300,000

additional doses weekly from the federal government. However, the request was denied, and the state, counties and tribal governments were only able to order 169,000 doses.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF While Peoria Unified and Deer Valley school districts are giving students the option of online or in-classroom learning, Glendale Elementary School District is keeping its classrooms closed.

On Thursday, Jan. 21, after Maricopa County updated its school metrics site, GESD Superintendent Cindy Segotta-Jones posted a message notifying families district classrooms would remain closed.

“To ensure the safety of all, GESD will continue in a virtual model and monitor all data to determine when it is safe to return,” she wrote. She noted district ZIP codes “show extremely high posi-

tivity rates pertaining to COVID-19.”

The data showed the communities surrounding GESD schools had more than 900 new cases per 100,000 population over the last week.

Though high, that was lower than the 923 cases per 100,000 over the last week in the Deer Valley Unified District 1,014 cases per 100,000 in the last seven days in PUSD communities.

“Please be advised that all schools in the GESD will remain in an online learning environment based on the current benchmarks,” Segotta-Jones noted.

“With COVID-19 still prominent in our area, please continue to follow current guidance to protect yourself and

Glendale Union High School District also is keeping classrooms closed with online learning only.

In a Jan. 22 letter to families, GUHSD stated, “Although the cases per 100,000 people continues to increase, the percent positivity and COVID-like illness numbers have slightly declined.”

Since Dec. 1, the number of deaths due to COVID-19 in Arizona has nearly doubled, going from 6,639 to

12,448 — and one-third of the total deaths over the last year have come in the first three weeks of January.

That also holds true for Maricopa County: One-third of the county’s 7,094 deaths due to COVID-19 have come in January.

According to the Maricopa County Health Department, “All school districts and ZIP codes in Maricopa County are experiencing substantial spread of COVID-19 according to three statewide benchmarks. … For the most recent week of full data (Jan. 3), Maricopa County had 885 cases per 100,000 people. Anything over 100 cases per 100,000 is considered substantial spread.”

Delay ball! Cactus League wants to wait on Spring Training

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF A letter suggests “Delay ball!” rather than “Play ball!”

Citing a surge in COVID-19 cases in Arizona, the Cactus League, Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers, Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat, Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord and other leaders sent a letter Jan. 25 asking Major League Baseball to delay the start of Spring Training.

“In view of the current state of the pandemic in Maricopa County — with one of the nation’s highest infection rates — we believe it is wise to delay the start of Spring Training to allow for the COVID-19 situation here,” said the letter.

“As leaders charged with protecting public health, and as committed, longtime partners in the Spring Training industry, we want you to know that we stand united on this point,” stated the letter, written by eight mayors and

Bridget Binsbacher, the Cactus League executive director, who is also a Peoria councilwoman.

Sent less than a month from the reporting date for pitchers and catchers, the letter notes a University of Washington study calls for “a sharp decline in infections in Arizona by midMarch.”

In a statement responding to the Cactus League letter, Major League Baseball said it “will continue to consult with public health authorities, medical experts and the Players Association whether any schedule modifications to the announced start of Spring Training and the Championship Season should be made in light of the current COVID-19 environment to ensure the safety of the players, coaches, umpires, MLB employees and other game day personnel in a sport that plays every day.”

Scenes like this from 2020 may be delayed, as the Cactus League is asking for a delay of Spring Training due to a COVID-19 surge. (Glendale Star file photo)

Team effort leads to remodel of veteran’s home

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Jeff Turney of the Glendale Police Department is known for his big heart and “can’t say no” attitude — before the pandemic, he drove a fellow veteran across the country to a retirement home.

So, when a city code enforcement officer told Turney about a veteran having significant problems keeping her house in order, it wasn’t a surprise that Turney was ready to again jump into action.

But this project took a bit longer to get off the ground.

“It took me about a year to get her to trust me enough to ask for help,” Turney said.

“Fortunately, I was able to put in several community partners to basically renovate her home and refurbish it.”

He credits a variety of partners for joining in on the project, including Angels on Patrol, Home Depot, Patriot Guest riders and Truly Nolen Pest Control.

“Operation Enduring Gratitude took the lead on this one and helped me tremendously,” Turney said. “People as far away as West Virginia and Pennsylvania have supported this project.”

PUSD board approves COVID-19 employee sick time

BY ALLISON ENGSTROM Glendale Star Staff Writer

On Jan. 14, the Peoria Unified School District board addressed the COVID-19 pandemic by approving measures increasing paid sick time for

teachers and temporary increased pay for classroom coverage.

PUSD will offer approval of up to 80 hours of paid sick leave for employees with a positive COVID-19 test. An employee awaiting test results with writ-

ten direction from a health care provider to quarantine can also obtain the paid sick leave.

The benefit will work retroactively so employees can receive compensation instead of using their sick leave.

Community members spoke in support of the increase, helping to alleviate the uncertainty of contracting the virus and the financial repercussions it can have on teachers.

“I know for a fact that the extra money will help ease some minds of some teachers,” Frank Eager said.

“As a teacher this is one of those things we talk about that shows more than just a thank you.”

The board also unanimously passed a motion for a temporary increase to classroom coverage pay.

This is in effect when a current teacher gives up prep time to cover a class because another teacher is not able to teach.

The coverage pay will increase from $20 per hour to $25 per hour and from $30 per 90 minutes to $37.50 per 90 minutes retroactive to Jan. 4, through May 21, 2021.

“It’s good for everybody,” Molly

Morris-Glauser said.

“I am a property owner, a taxpayer of this district and I grew up in this district, and I am happy to have my taxes go toward something like this, just for the record,” Morris-Glauser said.

“It’s another that shows that appreciation out there,” Eager said.

The board also approved more than doubling computer hardware.

The expenditure will increase from $1.5 million to $3.5 million.

And the board approved a program bringing real-world cyber applications to their classrooms. The program provides students with hands-on cybersecurity coursework and exercises Students are able to participate in a virtual lab with similar cybersecurity scenarios with the protection of an online environment. This allows students to explore the back end of IT systems used by industry leaders.

Arizona State University will donate the cost of range time to support the pilot program at MET Professional Academy and Cactus High School.

Yearning for the energy that only a crowd can provide

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

It was Tuesday afternoon and work got too heavy. A break was called for, mindless diversion. My thoughts turned to an old favorite: a matinee movie. Ninety minutes of popcorn, soda and cinema. This sounded like exactly the ticket.

I could not have been more wrong.

It was not the film that failed — it was obvious going in that this action flick would earn no Oscars.

It was the experience: a solitary man armed with a mask, hand sanitizer and enough Clorox wipes to disinfect Congress, seated alone in an auditorium built for 300 humans.

I dozed off through gunfire and explosions. I lost what plot there was.

My mind pinballed before hitting on a realization.

Some events, to feel right, require a crowd. Chalk up another act of destruction committed by this damned pandemic.

Eventually I gave up on the movie and compiled a mental list of great crowds I have been in — moments where the assembled humanity begins to crackle with shared energy, a sense of mutual joy, excitement, thrill, love.

If that sounds hokey, I can only say that it was not at all strange in the moment. Like, say, the night of Nov. 4, 2001, when I was high in the rightfield stands on the night the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the New York Yankees 3-2 to win the World Series.

The last 10 months have featured less human contact than that single evening full of high fives, fist bumps, screams, prayers and — when at last Jay Bell danced across home plate with the winning run — hugs with complete strangers.

Crowds will do that to us. You surely have your own stories, tales that run parallel to my parents taking my brother and I to see “Rocky” at Christmas in 1976.

How to get a letter published 250 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 100, Goodyear AZ 85338 E-mail: tscanlon@timespublications.com The Glendale Star welcomes letters that express readers’ opinion on current topics. Letters must include the writer’s full name, address (including city) and telephone number.

The Glendale Star will print the writer’s name and city of residence only. Letters without the requisite identifying information will not be published. Letters are published in the order received, and they are subject to editing.

The Glendale Star will not publish consumer complaints, form letters, clippings from other publications or poetry. Letters’ authors, not the Glendale Star, are responsible for the “facts” presented in letters.

I was 11, but I can still hear the crowd cheering the screen, the nervous chatter during Rocky’s battle with Apollo Creed, and I can still reimagine every boy who had been in the packed house boxing his way through the lobby afterward.

Or a great concert. Not even 18 months ago, I spent a weekend in Texas for Austin City Limits — a bucket-list event.

In dusty Zilker Park, tens of thousands of us gathered in a claustrophobic swarm to see a reunited Guns N’ Roses run through 20 hits, from “It’s So Easy” to “Welcome to the Jungle” to “November Rain.”

That was Friday — old rockers, warm beer and the thick smell of weed. The next afternoon, when Billie Eilish sang “Bad Guy,” there was a solid mass of teenage girl dress-alikes who accompanied her with every word. They pogo’d when Billie did, crouched, twirled, prowled their little slivers of space.

Who knew at the time that would be the last crowd I’d be in for months on end?

Now watching events on television — old footage of Tiger Woods winning the Masters — I marvel at the way we once crowded together shoulder to shoulder.

Most years, I wander out to watch the Waste Management Phoenix Open with 200,000 of my closest personal friends — sorority sisters in platform heels and microskirts, beery frat bros who heckle golfers at the 16th hole, and the hordes in Nike gear and Titleist hats.

This year, attendance will be held to 5,000 fans a day. Question: Will a Phoenix Open with 97.5% less crowd be 97.5% less electric?

Turns out, I love the power of crowds. It’s a small loss among everything inflicted by COVID-19, but let’s hope someday soon we can assemble again unaccompanied by anxiety, 6 feet of social distance and the nauseating scent of sanitizer and Clorox.

■ RESIDENTS IN 6 STATES CASH IN: The phone lines will be ringing off the hook. That’s because for the next 48 hours, packages containing actual Gold Vault Bricks still loaded with four

5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold minted by the Federated Mint are being shipped to residents in 6 states. These are the only Gold Vault Bricks known to exist and everyone wants them. That’s because they’re still loaded with Jumbo Gold Bars bearing the name of The First Bank of the United States of America and the state they were once destined for.

And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 6 states listed in today’s publication you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $49 per ounce. That’s a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 6 states must pay $124 per ounce if any remain.

Residents snap up Gold Bars issued in 6 States

Heavy Gold Vault Bricks loaded with valuable Jumbo State Bars layered in 24 Karat Gold are up for grabs as thousands stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold bars; now residents in 6 states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable bars found inside just by covering the minimum gold fee set for state residents within the next 48 hours “It’s like a modern day gold rush,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America.

That’s because actual Gold Vault Bricks™ still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold bearing the name of the First Bank of the United States of America™ and the state they were once destined for are up for grabs as thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold. Now any resident of those states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable gold found inside. That’s four massive bars weighing a full 20 ounces of high demand bullion copper layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold in all.

And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 6 states listed in today’s publication you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $49 per ounce which totals $ 980 for the full 20 ounces locked away inside these gold vault bricks. That’s

(Continued from previous page) a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 6 states must pay $124 per ounce which totals $2,480 if any remain.

“As special counsel to Federated Mint I earn my pay delivering breaking news.

And today’s announcement confirming the release of Gold Vault Bricks to the general public is as big as it gets. Believe me, I know how valuable these Gold Vault Bricks are to resellers, collectors, dealers and anyone else who gets their hands on them,” Withrow said.

“So my advice is this, anyone who gets an opportunity to get their hands on one of these Gold Vault Bricks better jump at the chance before they’re all gone,” Withrow said.

“These Gold Vault Bricks loaded with massive 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold make the most impressive gifts for Christmas, birthdays, graduations, weddings, and any other occasion, especially for that hard-to-buy-for person,” Withrow said.

According to Ms. Withrow, since thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold, today and tomorrow are intended as a “special 48 hour release” for the benefit of persons living in; AZ, CA, CO, NV, NM and UT. This gives residents of those states a fair chance to claim the Gold Vault Bricks and all the valuable gold loaded inside for themselves.

But, Ms. Withrow added, “The Gold Vault Bricks are only available as inventory permits during the special 48 hour release and once they’re gone, they’re gone.” The emeritus Treasurer added, “Remember this, these Gold Vault Bricks contain a full 20 ounces of high demand bullion copper layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold and we have no power to stop dealers, resellers, collectors and the like from buying up all the Gold Vault Bricks they can get their hands on and reselling them for a big profit,” Withrow said.

Anyone who fails to obtain them during this special 48 hour release may be forced to buy them later in the secondary market from a dealer, reseller or collector at a hefty premium. ”We already know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of agents are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30am this morning.

We’re going to do our best, but with just 48 hours to answer all the calls it won’t be easy.

So make sure to tell everyone to keep calling if all lines are busy. We’ll do our best to answer them all,” Withrow said.

“That’s why Federated Mint set up the State Distribution Hotlines in order to make sure residents in the 6 designated states listed in today’s newspaper publication can get them now,” Withrow said.

The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they live in one of the 6 states listed in today’s newspaper and call the State Distribution Hotlines before the special 48 hour release ends midnight tomorrow. ■

NEVER BEFORE SEEN: THESE FIRST BANK OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA JUMBO GOLD BARS ARE THE ONLY ONES KNOWN TO EXIST

VALUABLE: THESE ARE THE FOUR 5-OUNCE JUMBO GOLD BARS SEALED AWAY IN EACH GOLD VAULT BRICK BEARING THE STATE DESTINATION

How much are the Gold Vault Bricks worth: The answer is, it’s impossible to say. But, it would be foolish for anyone to try and determine the value of these Gold Vault Bricks based on today’s price of gold. Here’s why. Gold, silver and all precious metal values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But what we do know is that these are the only Gold Vault Bricks still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars known to exist. In fact, the value of the pure 24 Karat Gold layered content is just a bonus for anyone lucky enough to get one of these Gold Vault Bricks because there’s no telling how much the actual collector value could be worth. That makes the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $ 49 per ounce which totals $ 980 for the full 20 ounces locked away inside these Gold Vault Bricks a real steal since residents living outside of the designated 6 states must pay $124 per ounce, which totals $ 2,480, if any remain.

Why the vault fee is so low: Since thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the gold, Federated Mint has re-allocated Gold Vault Bricks to be sent out in the next 48 hours. That means the gold is up for grabs and now residents in 6 states can claim the Gold Vault Bricks for themselves and keep all the valuable bars found inside. These are the only Gold Vault Bricks known to exist and everyone wants them. That’s because they’re still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold bearing the name of The First Bank of the United States of America and the state they were once destined for. That’s four massive bars weighing a full 20 ounces of 24 Karat Gold and valuable bullion copper in all. And here’s the best part. If you live in one of the 6 states listed in today’s publication you cover only the minimum gold fee set for state residents of just $ 49 per ounce. That’s a real steal because residents living outside of the designated 6 states must pay $124 per ounce if any remain.

■ FIRST LOOK INSIDE THE GOLD VAULT BRICKS: Pictured above are the Gold Vault Bricks containing the only Jumbo State

Gold Bars known to exist bearing the name of the First Bank of the United States of America and the state they were once destined for. State residents are rushing to get them because the Gold Vault Bricks are still loaded with four 5-ounce Jumbo State Bars layered in valuable 24 Karat Gold. To claim you Vault Brick, just call 1-800-749-6917 GB1903 before the deadline ends.

Everyone lucky enough to get them better hold on to them because there’s no telling just how much they could be worth.

Home prices climbing as average time on market drops

BY LISA BAKER

Are you thinking about a new home in 2021? Anyone trying to purchase a home right now will tell you that even as prices and interest rates continue to rise, you need to move quickly in this market. But don’t think you have to revise your resolutions just yet; just be prepared.

Cromford Report data tracked around a 2% month-over-month increase in the average final sale price per square foot in Maricopa County in the fourth quarter of 2020, while the average days on the market dropped to 39.8 from 47.85 in the third quarter. Both are trends expected to continue this trajectory in the New Year.

During December, 413 MLS listing sales closed in Glendale and 417 in Peoria.

As of this writing, there are 124 active and available listings (not counting properties already under contract

or pending close of escrow) in MLS in Glendale and 143 active listings in Peoria. That’s 30% of one month’s inventory in Glendale, down from 40% in November) and 34.3% of one month’s inventory in Peoria (down from 47% in November).

Today’s Maricopa County inventory is 49.6% of December’s closed sales, down from 69.5% in November.

According to ShowingTime, the platform Realtors use to schedule most of the MLS showings, Peoria saw an increase in showing traffic in the $300,000-$399,999 range, with a higher percentage of traffic, 37.39% averaging 12.33 showings per listing.

This increase bumped it up to the most popular price range in Peoria, moving the $200,000-$299,999 range to second place at 25.57% of December traffic, with an average of 12.54 showings per listing. The $200,000-$299,999 range still had the most showings in Glendale,

averaging 14.65 showings per listing, which accounted for 40.32% of showings. Listings in the $300,000-$399,999 range averaged 12.38 showings per listing, 31.88% of showing traffic. Not all showings are scheduled through ShowingTime, so actual numbers are typically higher.

According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates are beginning to rise gradually. As of January 14, 2021, National Mortgage Rates reported U.S. weekly averages of 2.79% for a 30-year fixed rate, 2.23% for a 15-year fixed rate and 3.12% for a five-year ARM. December entry-level prices for a detached home with three bedrooms and two baths rose in the West Valley across tracked financing options. While the lowest price paid for a home with conventional financing in Maricopa County dropped to $175,000, Glendale conventional buyers saw an increase to $225,000, and Peoria conventional buyers an increase to $238,000.

Buyers using FHA financing saw increases in prices paid with minimums of

$185,000 in Maricopa County, $225,00 in Glendale and $244,000 in Peoria.

Maricopa County VA buyers also saw increases to $217,000, Glendale VA buyers saw an increase to $260,000, and Peoria VA buyers paid a minimum of $322,500.

According to MLS statistics, the number of buyers financing their purchases in December rose from 76.4% to 82.7%.

Conventional financing made up 71.3% of those sales, FHA financing 13.7%, VA financing 6.8%, and the remaining sales used other financing methods.

If your finances are in need in 2021, please know that you are not alone. If you’re a homeowner, contact your lender to see what programs they are offering.

If you’re a tenant, rental assistance is available through the Arizona Department of Housing website at saveourhomeaz.gov.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Small Business Association, in consultation with the U.S. Treasury Department, opened phase 2 of the Paycheck Protection Program loan portal Jan. 11.

This round of the PPP continues to prioritize millions of Americans employed by small businesses by autho-

rizing up to $284 billion toward job retention and certain other expenses through March 31 and by allowing certain existing PPP borrowers to apply for a “second draw” PPP loan.

For more information or to apply, visit sba.gov.

In most cases, if guidelines are followed, the loans do not have to be re-

paid.

The maximum loan amount has been reduced from $10 million to $2 million. The amount most individual businesses can request is still based around a formula of 2.5 times average payroll.

PPP borrowers who already received a loan may obtain a second draw if

they have 300 or fewer employees, have used or will use the full amount of their first PPP loan and can show a 25% gross revenue decline in any 2020 quarter compared with the same quarter in 2019.

First-time PPP borrowers may obtain a PPP loan under the original terms in the CARES Act.

Coyotes fans welcome in-person experience

BY MICHAEL GUTNICK

Cronkite News

Linda Riggins was first in line at Gate 3 before the Arizona Coyotes’ season opener at Gila River Arena.

Riggins, a season ticket holder, and her son, Keith Traub, arrived three and a half hours early. They were ready to watch hockey.

“I was just so happy to be there,” Riggins said. “My son was in seventh heaven, and it was just great. That means everything to me.”

Riggins was one of 2,274 fans in attendance during the 4-3 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks. The Coyotes had 2,384 fans during Saturday’s 5-3 win.

The Jan. 14 game was the largest attended sporting event in Arizona since late November, when the Arizona Cardinals hosted as many as 4,200 fans at State Farm Stadium.

Before a whistle was blown, the organization honored those on the front line of the pandemic.

As the lights dimmed and everyone turned their attention to the scoreboard, Coyotes President and CEO Xavier A.

Gutierrez presented a message to health workers, dedicating their 25th anniversary season to them.

“It was awesome,” said Coyotes forward Clayton Keller, who scored the Coyotes’ second goal. “I think all of us were a little surprised. It felt like there were a lot more people there. We were so pumped to see that. To have the fans back in the building was unbelievable.

Friends of mine and our teammates that were able to come to the game were all just so pumped. We’re really looking

forward to the rest of the home games in front of the awesome fans we have.”

Coyotes goaltender Antti Raanta enjoyed the fans’ presence in a 31-save performance.

“It definitely feels so much better than what it was in the bubble,” Raanta said. “It’s super nice to go on the ice and see some people in there, hearing some yells and some cheers for us. It gives you a lot more than what an empty building would do. It’s been nice to see the fans again. They gave us a lot of

players, many of whom he played against or watched at some point in his high school football career.

“I’ve looked at all these guys’ stats, paid attention to what everyone was doing, watched film on a lot (of them) all year. To be here and be in the top five is amazing,” he said.

Gilbert Mesquite senior quarterback Ty Thompson won the top award.

While the Ed Doherty Award was given to individual players, many of the nominees felt their nominations could serve as a team award. Moon Valley senior defensive back and wide receiver Jordan Richardson said his Rockets, who went 2-5 and were far

from playoff contention, did not receive a lot of press.

“The guys kind of told me that I feel like I’m putting on for Moon Valley, so I’m trying to represent them,” he said.

extra energy in the games.”

Fans said they enjoyed the change of pace for the shortened season. Not only does it allow the team to generate some revenue, but it allows fans to experience something they’ve missed for nearly a year.

“Us players, we always appreciate playing in front of a lot of fans,” Coyotes forward Derick Brassard said.

They make the atmosphere; they make the game great. Hopefully in the next few months we can play in every building around the league with fans in the stands.”

For now, the attendance has been limited to 2,500 fans to complement spacing. The Coyotes first announced they would host a maximum of 3,450 fans for the team’s six January home games at Gila River Arena, including Thursday, Jan. 28, when the Coyotes host the Anaheim Ducks.

The team will determine the seating capacity for each month of the season, in accordance with the guidelines of Gila River Arena and the city of Glendale.

Local football players honored at award ceremony

BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

High school football players from around Arizona met in Scottsdale Jan. 9 to celebrate their talent and remember a tumultuous season at the 2020 Ed Doherty Award ceremony.

The West Valley had many of the 53 nominees, who received nominations throughout the season for their play in an outstanding single game.

Desert Edge senior defensive back Steven Ortiz Jr. and junior quarterback Adryan Lara also were nominated.

The Scorpions went 8-0 in the regular season and reached the Open Playoff quarterfinals for the first time in team history.

“It was probably the most fun season we’ve had,” Lara said.

“For me I’m leaving because I’m a senior, so this is one more thing for me to remember of this year,” Ortiz added.

The 2020 regular season was delayed and shortened to eight games, with a three-week postseason, and several teams and players had to miss games due to COVID-19. The circumstances getting to the offseason and to an award ceremony was gratifying.

“You see everyone here who dealt with this, and it just makes you feel like you accomplished a lot this year.

I want to have another great season again so that I can be back here next year in a more normal year,” added Sandra Day O’Connor junior linebacker Brandon Craddock.

“It makes me so thankful that we got to have a season, and that we got to the playoffs,” said Centennial senior defensive lineman DJ Gleash. “None of it was easy, but it was really fun.”

The tension of the historian and the statesman During the last 40 years of my ministry, I have had the privilege of ministering in over 100 countries. What I have been hearing from my friends from afar is this: “What is going on in America? It’s seems divided and crazy over there! What’s going on in your government? And, what’s the deal with all the shootings, the debt, the riots, racial tension and other stuff going on?

It seems like America is spinning out of control.” People in other nations are seeing something that most Americans won’t or don’t see … yet!

Allow me to share a concept with you that is a key to preventing the stagnation or even collapse of our nation.

Henry Kissinger captures the tension between the historian and the statesman. “I think of myself as a historian more than a statesman. As a historian, you need to be conscious

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

of the fact that every civilization that has ever existed has ultimately failed.

History is a tale of efforts that failed, of aspirations that weren’t realized, of wishes that were fulfilled and then turned out to be different from what are expected. So, as a historian, you live with a sense of the inevitability of tragedy. As a statesman, one acts on the assumption that problems can be solved.” A statesman knows history, but he also knows how to apply lessons from history to avert tragedy.

Kissinger, the historian, has a point.

It’s hard to embrace the statesman

approach when history supports the historian. Many nations start off right, end up wrong. The constructive values of what made a nation strong get traded in on destructive values that make it weak. Most every nation seems to have its spring, summer, autumn and winter. History shows nations don’t learn from history. Born to win, conditioned to lose.

The further formerly great nations got away from “home,” the more they get lost. Sydney Harris says, “People are fond of saying that the past is dead, but it is actually the future that is dead. We make it come alive only by applying what we have learned from the living past to the present.” Nations seem to forget the old saying, “Learn from others mistakes, the second mouse gets the cheese.” There’s lots of cheese if you are the second mouse who learned.

History shows us the path where all great nations before us have gone.

1. From bondage to spiritual faith. 2.

From spiritual faith to great courage.

3. From courage to liberty. 4. From liberty to abundance. 5. From abundance to selfishness. 6. From selfishness to complacency. 7. From complacency to apathy. 8. From apathy to dependency.

9. From dependency back to bondage.

In other words, progressive is regressive. The path of history is littered with nations like this.

Edward Gibbon wrote a book titled “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” in 1788. He discovered five basic reasons why Rome withered and died.

The reasons were: 1. An undermining of the dignity and sanctity of the home, which is the basis for human society. 2. Higher and higher taxes and spending public money for free bread SEE DELPH PAGE 21

and circuses for the populace. 3. A mad craze for pleasure, with pastimes becoming every year more exciting, brutal and immoral. 4. Building great armaments, although the real enemy was within — the decay of individual responsibility. 5. Decay of religion — faith fading into mere form, losing touch with God life, and losing power to guide the people. Sound familiar?

As I said at the beginning of this article, other nations are detecting this pattern at work in America before America sees it. It’s like having bad breath; everyone knows you have it but you. Anyone who thinks government will save them is naïve and misguided. Someone once said, “Government is the art of trying to solve problems. Politics is the art of trying to attain power. The two sometimes intersect, but not often.”

Young adults, the immediate future will be determined by you. Get involved. Be a statesman or stateswoman who knows how to stop the demise of a country. Be governmental, not political. Now is the time to look back

The Glendale Star

to our past to secure our future. The further you go back into your nation’s history and what made your nation great, the longer your nation’s future will have. Your nation’s future is your nation’s past in disguise.

Some want us to forget our past.

When you do that, you undermine your future. You won’t learn the lessons (both good and bad) history teaches us. Discover why America is and then the Constitution will make more sense to you. Correct the wrongs in America, but don’t rip and tear the country to pieces in the process. Progressive can become regressive if you aren’t wise. Statesmen and stateswomen can do what chaos or apathy won’t.

To be sustainable, we need statesmen and stateswomen, willing to learn from the past, be aware and responsible in the present to be confident of our future. With God’s help, we can do this. I know we can.

Desert Edge grad completes animation program

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF

Huntington University Arizona announced its first animation graduates: Alexa Bland, Realiti Ibsen and Kesmine Hickman.

Bland is a 2013 graduate of Desert Edge High in Goodyear, Ibsen a 2016 graduate of Valley Vista in Surprise.

HU Arizona added animation to its list of degree offerings in May 2017.

In the summer of 2018, Christian Washington, a 2013 graduate of HU’s Indiana campus, joined the HU Arizona team as the assistant professor of animation.

Of the three animation graduates, Washington was quick to say that “they’re very hard workers and passionate artists, which has made them a joy to teach.”

During their time at HU Arizona, the graduates worked on five animated films, including “Bubble,” which was featured in the Phoenix Film Fes-

tival; “Tobeus and Tobey,” which won Best of Fest at the National BEA Conference; and “The Cactus Cat,” which

was a semifinalist at the Student Los Angeles Film Awards.

They’ve also worked on a number of

freelance projects through HU Arizona for companies including TheaterWorks and the Maryvale Community School System.

Huntington University Arizona opened in Peoria in 2016, welcoming students seeking a degree in digital media arts. Since that time, students have created regionally and nationally awarded work, including ADDY awards, BEA Best of Fest awards and Emmy Student Production Awards.

The 30,000-square-foot building houses bachelor’s degree programs in animation, film production, broadcast media and graphic design. The facility features film and TV studios, high-end computer classroom/labs, private editing suites, a state-of-the-art TV control room, a Foley pit, cinema cameras and lighting gear for student production work.

GCU gives out ‘surprise’ scholarships

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Grand Canyon University recently surprised seven high school seniors from Glendale with news that they will receive full-tuition scholarships to the private Christian university next fall.

The Glendale students who received the “surprise scholarships” were Alondra Jauregui Mariscal, Andrea Lupercio and Victoria Hernandez of Glennview College Prep, Ivan Gonzalez of Apollo High School, Vanessa Reyes Estanislao of Glendale High School, and Danna Hernandez Cardenas and Xitlaly Valdez Lara of Independence High School.

The SIS Scholarship Program is a public-private partnership in which local businesses and donors, K-12 schools and a “pay-it-forward” scholarship program are impacting education in GCU’s diverse inner-city community.

Each year, the university awards full-tuition scholarships to high-achieving students from inner-city high schools who maintain a minimum 3.5 grade-point average, demonstrate financial need, and complete 100 or more hours of required tasks such as college-preparedness exercises and academic assistance in GCU’s innovative Learning Lounge.

This year’s recipients were surprised while on separate campus tours of the university.

Thinking they were participating in a final interview, the high school students were surprised in the GCU Student Union by an employee offering them a slice of pizza.

The pizza box instead contained documents with the news that they had earned the scholarship.

Instead of a pizza, seven Glendale high school seniors received “surprise” scholarships.

NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS CITY OF GLENDALE FIRE STATION 153 REPLACEMENT ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES Project No. 202129 (Bid No. 42100045) CONSULTING SERVICES The City of Glendale is seeking a qualified architectural firm to provide programming, design, preliminary cost estimating, permit approvals, and construction administration services for the replacement of Fire Station 153, located at 14061 N. 59th Avenue. The existing fire station and community center will be demolished, and a new fire station constructed on the same site.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION Fire Station 153 and the adjacent retired City owned community center were originally built in 1974. The fire station and community center site are bound by 59th Avenue and Dailey Street, to the west and south, respectively, with residential properties on the north and east. The combined site is approximately 2 acres and also supports an equipment fueling station with recently replaced underground storage tanks, two dispensing pumps, and an overhead canopy. The current fire station is approximately 7,400 square feet under roof (e.g., living, support, and equipment spaces). However, the original 1974 station was 5,750 square feet, including the apparatus bays and living/sleeping quarters, until 1997. In 1997 approximately 1,650 square feet were added to the northside of the existing apparatus bays. The addition added six bedrooms and two bathrooms. The retired adjacent community center is approximately 5,000 square feet under roof (e.g., meeting room, kitchen, storage, office spaces). The Glendale Fire Department has an obligation to maintain an expected level of emergency services.

Therefore, in order to continue delivering the same services Fire Station 153 must continue to function as it currently does. Fire staff will remain on site during all phases of the project and will be relocated to temporary housing facilities during demolition of the existing buildings and construction of the new station.

SCOPE OF WORK The selected Architectural firm (Consultant) will work closely with various City departments, including Engineering, Fire, Facilities Management, Development Services and others, as needed, during the primary three phases of the project (i.e., cost-benefit analysis, design and construction).

The City will utilize the services of the Consultant for the cost-benefit analysis, programming, design, construction cost estimating and construction administration. The Consultant will make Council presentations and conduct public meetings and other related public involvement activities, if requested. PRE-SUBMITTAL CONFERENCE A pre-submittal conference will be held on Wednesday, February 10, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., at the Glendale Fire Station 153, 14061 N. 59th Avenue, Glendale, AZ. At this meeting, staff will discuss the scope of work, general contract issues and respond to questions from the attendees. The City will also conduct a brief walk-through of the facilities. The City will be following the Covid-19 CDC guidelines during this meeting. Attendance will be limited to a maximum of 2 attendees per firm and face coverings will be required at all times. Because of fire station operations this will be the only opportunity to ask questions about the project and walkthrough the facility, so it is strongly suggested that interested firms send a representative to the pre-submittal conference. REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PACKET The RFP packet is available on the City’s Vendor Self Service (VSS) Bids Page, Bid No. 42100045 at https://glendaleazvendors.munisselfservice.com/Vendors/VBids/Default.aspx.
