Catlin Court shop celebrates 35 years BY SCOTT SHUMAKER Glendale Star Staff Writer
Since Carolyn Gimplowitz took over The Tole Shop in the Catlin Court Historic Retail District near Downtown Glendale, she’s seen recessions and bull markets, competition from online shops and big box stores and, most recently, a pandemic. But through it all, one thing has stayed constant: People have congregated at Gimplowitz’s bungalow on Palmaire Avenue to practice the folk art of tole painting. Tole painting is the decoration of household objects like coffee pots and chairs with painted images and effects like shading and highlighting. With a few strokes of the brush, crafters can elevate ordinary items into works of art. Gimplowitz first learned about tole painting at a craft show. She was impressed that someone without an art back-
ground could do it. “I thought you had to be an artist,” she said. “(But) it’s called ‘folk art’ for a reason — a lot of folks can do it.” Tole painting had its height in popularity in Europe and New England in the 18th and 19th centuries. It was a way to add beauty to the Examples of wooden signs and additional artwork that Carolyn Gimhome at a low cost. plowitz’s students have made while at The Tole Shop.

The Glendale Water Services Department will leave 350 acre-feet, or about 1.5%, of the city’s 22,582 allotted acrefeet of Colorado River water in Lake Mead this year. The city is part of a coalition of river users forgoing water in an effort to keep the reservoir from dropping below a critical mark. At Glendale city council’s Jan. 25 workshop, Water Resources Manager Drew
Swieczkowski told the council that the reduction is part of a December agreement by the Colorado River Water Users Association to keep an extra 500,000 acre-feet of water in the reservoir this year. The goal of the so-called 500+ Plan is to keep the water level of the lake from dropping below 1,020 feet, a critical threshold for the health of the reservoir. “We don’t think there’s a strong possibility that Lake Mead could come back from that (level),” Swieczkowski said. “Because of the geometry of the lake and
some other things, 1,020 (feet) is a pretty tough thing to come back from, so we’re really trying to prevent that.” In November, models projected the lake would drop to 1,030 feet within the next 24 months. The forecast triggered a mandatory meeting of the Colorado River users group to consider whether additional measures were needed to boost the lake level in the face of extended drought. Swieczkowski said that water users in California agreed to leave 215,00 acre-

feet in Lake Mead, in Arizona 223,000 acre-feet, and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation 62,000 acre-feet. “The good thing is California actually agreed to give up some water, which is unusual because they fight tooth and nail for their water,” Swieczkowski said. Councilmember Bart Turner asked Swieczkowski whether the reduction in the city’s share of Colorado River water, delivered via the Central Arizona Project canal, required council authorization. “We had gone through our attorney, and we asked that same question,” Swieczkowski said. “He did not think so, because it was under our contract, just kind of operating agreements for that (water), and so that’s why we decided through the attorney’s opinion that we didn’t need to, and it was a small amount.” Turner said to the council in response, “We need to determine whether these are administrative decisions or policy decisions, and that’s probably something we should be discussing

at a future date or have a memo on to clarify.”
Reductions to raise costs
The U.S. and state governments are supporting the cuts by purchasing the unused river water. Swieczkowski told the council that the city would receive $261 per acre-foot for the water it leaves in the reservoir this year, for a total of $91,000. But those proceeds will be completely offset by a $6.50-per-acre-foot increase in the cost of CAP water, an estimated $145,000 for Glendale, due to system maintenance and operating costs remaining the same. “It’s a lot of money to pay, and we’re anticipating that to go up because of the shortage in future years, too,” Swieczkowski said. “Energy costs are going up significantly, and the CAP canal is one of the largest energy users in the state.” Swieczkowski said that he and other hydrologists see continued drought this year as a possibility. “We’re hoping that we get some more storms (in the Rockies), especial-

ly in February, March,” he said. “Right now it’s still pretty dry up there. We’re in a La Nina, which is typically a dry seasonal pattern. All the predictions from NOAA is that we’re going to have below-average precipitation with above-average temperatures.” On the upside, Swieczkowski said the city was poised to weather continued drought for some time. He noted that the city has almost 200,000 acre-feet, a four-year supply, of water stored underground that can be taken out in times of need. He added that the city has invested in “redundancy wells” to bolster water availability. “Conservation is an important element,” he added. “We do a great job of that here in Glendale.” The city receives about 44% of its water from the CAP and 43% from the Salt River project, and Swieczkowski said SRP’s supply is strong. “Really we have a strong water portfolio,” he said. “We’ve planned and continually planned for years and will always continue to improve upon that portfolio.”

Donors needed to end blood supply shortage BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF A national blood shortage is further stressing the nation’s fragile health care system. Vitalant — which services about 900 hospitals across 28 states, including 62 in Arizona — is experiencing a historic, two-year low blood supply. The fast-spreading omicron variant is the latest COVID-19 complication forcing additional community blood drives to cancel and lessening the number of healthy and available donors. “It’s important for people to remember that they can give blood immediately after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine if you’re healthy and well,” Vitalant Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ralph Vassallo said. “To ensure patient care isn’t jeopardized, we need people to schedule an appointment today. Even if the appointment is several weeks from now, setting and keeping it will help replenish what’s needed for both routine

The Tole Shop’s setting is a part of its story. The Catlin Court neighborhood is comprised of homes built in the early 20th century. A large share of the houses reflects the craftsman bungalow style, but there are also Spanish eclectic and minimal traditional style. Beginning in the 1980s, small-business owners started buying these older homes and converting them into shops. Eventually, the number of small shops opening up reached a critical mass, and a walkable business district with its own personality emerged. “I used to call (Catlin Court) Mayberry RFD,” after the ‘Andy Griffith Show’ spin-off show of that name. “I love when I come to work and turn off 59th Ave., and there’s this cute little village with shops,” Gimplowitz said. “There’s no place in Phoenix or the area that’s like this,” she added. Gimplowitz and daughter, Lori Carbajal, who manages the store, celebrated 35 years of operation in January, but the business is even older than that. The Tole Shop was established in 1979 by previous owner Martha Campbell, Gimplowitz said, making it one of the longest-running businesses in the historic Catlin Court district. “I’m in awe of these longtime business owners who are fearless,” said Lorraine Zomok, president of the Historic Downtown Glendale Merchants Association. “When we have a business like The Tole House, it brings an audience that is coming to the district. … That’s an opportunity to have a customer base.”
February 3, 2022 jumped at the opportunity to buy The Tole Shop when it came up for sale. She credits her subsequent longevity in business on “sheer willpower and ignorance.” “When I bought the shop, I had no idea what it was like to own a business, run a business, but it’s worked,” she said. Gimplowitz’s shop has faced competition from various corners over the years, including national retail chains and online shops. “I really didn’t think (the shop) was going to last,” she said. “I really thought at the beginning that Michaels was going to put us out of business.” Other tole shops in the Valley have gone out of business. Gimplowitz said there were as many as seven in the Valley catering to the hobby, and now The Tole Shop is the only one. She suspects it may be the only tole shop in the state. But The Tole Shop has weathered many changes in the business world. She credits her staying power to a loyal customer base. Gimplowitz thinks her customers appreciate the “full-service” experience of the shop, a place where they can talk about tole painting with knowledgeable people. “Without our student base, we couldn’t have done this. There are a lot of women who support us,” she said. Gimplowitz and Carbajal have steered the shop through good times and hard times. Gimplowitz remembers the terrorist attacks of 9/11 had a big impact on business. She called the first months of 2020, when people stayed home at the start of the pandemic, “scary,” but in both cases, her customers, mostly women but also some men, returned to the shop to paint. “These women come here because it’s something they like to do. … It’s their getaway,” Gimplowitz said. “They leave all their worries at the doorstep and just come in and enjoy themselves. “If we can bring happiness to some people, that’s good,” she said.
Getting started
Gimplowitz first came to the Valley in 1958, when her father was assigned to Williams Air Force Base. She purchased The Tole Shop in 1987. She was working for a bank at the time, and for reasons she can’t quite explain, she

Kelly joined at Biden’s hip in upcoming race BY J.D. HAYWORTH
Glendale Star Columnist
There’s no mistaking Mark Kelly for the late comedian Don Knotts — especially since our junior senator bears an uncanny resemblance to Uncle Fester of “The Addams Family” — but similar themes have emerged in the body of work from both the contemporary legislator and the comedian of a bygone era. Knotts, who won multiple Emmy Awards for his portrayal of bumbling Deputy Barney Fife on “The Andy Griffith Show,” parlayed that success on the small screen into a five-picture deal with Universal Studios in the mid1960s. Sen. Kelly parlayed his fame from piloting the space shuttle into winning a seat in the Senate. Certainly Kelly’s fundraising abilities have proven astronomical; his campaign pulled in $9 million in the final three months of last year, giving him an estimated war chest of $22 million as he attempts to win a full six-year term this November.
Of course, $22 million — or more — won’t buy what it used to… not even as recently as the campaign year of 2020. That’s because of Jan. 20, 2021… the day Joe Biden took up residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Immediately afterward, the politico-economic condition now known as “Bidenflation” took hold. Ol’ Joe began by revoking authorization for the Keystone XL pipeline in an executive order. In so doing, he killed 10,000 jobs and took $2.2 billion in payroll out of workers’ pockets. One of the newly unemployed, Neal Crabtree of Fouke, Arkansas, told the “Boston Herald” his concerns extended beyond his family to friends, neighbors and his fellow countrymen. “Now we’re seeing rising energy prices,” said Crabtree, a common-sense kind of guy, who was working as a welding foreman before Joe Biden got a new job… and took away his. Sadly, common sense is in short sup-
ply at the White House and within the Senate Democratic Caucus. Then again, lots of things are in short supply these days. A crippled supply line and a predictable decline in domestic energy production prompted a spike in prices. The result? The worst inflation rate our nation has seen in 40 years. As costs increased across the board for food, shelter, clothing and transportation, prices at the pump were especially troubling: a hike of almost 50% by December. Adding even more fuel to the inflationary fires was the spending spree of the Biden Bunch. Unilaterally enacted by the Democrats, a $1.9 trillion cash infusion actually paid bonuses to some lucky workers to stay off the job, kept the Bureau of Printing and Engraving churning out greenbacks, and further bloated our money supply. Whether due to economic illiteracy or delusion — perhaps both — Joe Biden then claimed that his horribly misnamed “Build Back Better” initia-
tive would somehow reduce inflation. Left unexplained is the dubious rationale behind the misguided notion that an exponentially more obscene orgy of spending — $5.5 trillion dollars’ worth — will do anything other than launch inflation to even “greater” heights and plunge our standard of living to even lower depths. Thankfully, the “Build Back Bummer” has been scrubbed for now… no thanks to Mark Kelly. Instead, Kelly has been a dependable vote for Bidenomics and Bidenflation, but Republicans aren’t exactly biding their time in the effort to scrub Mark Kelly’s political mission. This summer’s primary for the Arizona GOP Senate nomination will be crowded and spirited. The eventual winner will face a cash-infused but performance-imperiled incumbent, joined at the hip to Joe Biden. Mark Kelly’s handlers are doing what they can right now to start a midcourse correction, recently making their man available for an interview
a jump-start to his campaign. His promise at a February 2020 debate: “I’m looking forward to making sure there’s a Black woman on the Supreme Court to make sure we in fact get everyone represented.” The applause was loud. Biden won a seven-way primary with 49% of the vote. I understand we live in a nation where 108 out of 115 members of the highest court in the land have been white men. I understand and see value in diversity, of justices who bring different perspectives and cultures to the court — even
if they tend to vote in lockstep with either one of America’s two dominant, disastrous political parties. But for days I’ve been scouring the news waiting for someone to say what to me seemed abundantly obvious: Shouldn’t the president, a Democrat, nominate the most qualified liberal justice to the court, as opposed to filtering out candidates based on race and gender? I mean this as no slight to the jurists on the short list: Ketanji Brown Jackson, who currently sits on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, considered the second most important court in the country.
Harvard educated, a former editor of the Harvard Law Review, Brown Jackson clerked for Breyer early in her career. Also getting serious consideration is Leondra Kruger, who currently sits on the California Supreme Court. Kruger previously clerked for Justice John Paul Stevens and, as an assistant U.S. solicitor general, she argued a dozen cases before SCOTUS. If either of these two amazing Black women is the most qualified choice for the court, then I celebrate the appointment. Ironically, next year the court is scheduled to hear a case on affirma-

Color alone not the only criterion for Supreme Court BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer announced his upcoming retirement on a Wednesday morning. Within the hour, reporters, pundits and politicos had settled on a must for the 83-year-old’s successor: The next justice, the 116th in the history of our nation, must be a Black woman. This certainty dates back to a promise President Biden made during the 2020 primaries. Struggling to get traction, especially with Black voters, Biden went to South Carolina needing

AROUND THE BLUHMIN’ TOWN
Sometimes you find yourself lost in life BY JUDY BLUHM
Glendale Star Columnist
Have you ever been lost? Yes, I guess at some time or another most of us have taken a wrong turn, had trouble following directions, or just gotten mixed up about where we are headed. Being a Realtor and often in rural areas, sometimes I find that street signs do not exist, easements are not always marked, landmarks change (the big saguaro where you are supposed to make your left turn looks the same as every other one) and GPS works best in cities that are neatly platted out. Imagine my surprise while driving on a dirt road in New River (lost) and finding an old, black horse standing in the middle of the two-lane goat path. He looked as bewildered to see me as I was to see him. Evidently, he did not think I belonged there, because he made no effort to move. A roadblock of the strangest kind! Pulling over to the side, I stopped and got out. The horse stood his ground, just sizing me up as I carefully approached him. He was pretty thin, well-mannered and seemingly curious, if not happy to see me. Looking around, I pondered where the big fella came from. Not normal for a horse to be standing in the middle of a road with no one else around! About 300 feet to the north, I noticed a driveway and walked, gently resting my hand on the horse’s backside, as together we headed up a long, narrow dirt drive leading to an old ranch house. The black horse and I got up the driveway and we both stood still for a
moment, while an elderly man ran out from the garage with arms open like he might hug me. Well, he did embrace his horse and for a few minutes seemed confused, then asked what I was doing here with Rocky. When I said that I found Rocky standing in the middle of the road, the man looked shocked. He said, “Rocky is 34 years old and has arthritis, doesn’t eat much and barely walks any more. He usually just stands by my back porch or in his mare motel. He hasn’t walked this far in two years!” Clearly the man was flabbergasted, and then chuckled, saying that he better be sure to close his gates. There might be another type of “lost.” A lady emailed me to say that she was married for 45 years and every day “knew what to do.” When her husband died, she said she “drifted” for one year, with no particular purpose or goal to do anything, except the basic chores of daily living. It can happen to us at any age. A loved one is snatched away too soon and we become bereft, struggling to find that new “normal” when all we really want is to go back to that place in time where we were before. This begs the question, can we be in the most familiar of places yet be completely lost? Life is one heck of a journey. Sometimes roads don’t take you where you expected. Lost? It happens. Grab a compass, dear readers, because there might be times when we need a little help finding our way. Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local Realtor. Have a comment or a story?

READER’S VIEWPOINT LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Chamber CEO says vote ‘no’ on bill
Editor: As businesses continue to recover from the interruptions caused by the pandemic, the last thing hardworking Arizona companies and employees need is higher health care costs. That is why, on behalf of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce, we are opposed to Arizona Senate Bill 1161 (SB 1161) and respectfully ask West Valley residents to urge your representatives and senators to vote no on SB 1161. If signed into law, SB 1161 would impose heavy-handed government interference in how our businesses build health coverage plans, ultimately raising both the cost of providing health care benefits for employers and increasing employees’ out-of-pocket costs. This bill would even prohibit em-
ployers from communicating openly with employees about options for filling their prescriptions at a lower cost. In addition, our chamber opposes unnecessary state regulation, cost-shifting, coverage requirements and government mandates while encouraging a fair, competitive, free-market environment. This bill is a mandate that will affect large and small employers throughout Arizona, our employees, and millions of hardworking Arizona families. While our chamber works to support businesses through the challenges of the pandemic, we respectfully ask that you protect us and them from prescription drug cost increases and harmful regulations by voting no on SB 1161. Robert W. Heidt Jr. President and Chief Executive Officer Glendale Chamber of Commerce

10 OPINION
tive action in education. The original lawsuits contend that Harvard and the University of North Carolina discriminate against Asian students, who scored higher than other racial cohorts on admission criteria like grades, tests scores and extracurriculars but were scored down on qualities like courage, kindness, personality and likability. The end result? A racial quota system that kept the number Asian students artificially low in favor of admitting a more diverse student body. The concept that every facet of life requires equal representation by skin color is a shaky proposition, easy to turn on its head. For example, the National Basketball Association in 2020 was about 74% African American, 17% white, not quite 3% Latino and Asian, and 6% players of other races. Today, non-Latino whites comprise 58% of the U.S. population. Latinos make up 19%, Blacks 12%. Imagine the insanity that would ensue if the NBA mandated that each 15man roster needed to proportionally
express the racial composition of the U.S.? Who among the Phoenix Suns’ 14 African American players would the team cut in favor of white ballers of presumably lesser talent? Would the new, perfectly representative squad still sell tickets or perform to NBA Finals levels? Doubtful and doubtful. It’s long past time for a Black woman to sit as a Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. But speaking about some of our nation’s best and brightest primarily through the prism of skin color and gender — with their hard work, qualifications and successes tossed in as a footnote — demeans the process and the judges in it.

Portillo’s drive-thru sold to SoCal buyer for $1.7M BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Hanley Investment Real Estate Advisors completed the sale of a new construction, single-tenant net-leased retail property occupied by a Portillo’s drive-thru restaurant in Glendale. The sale price was $7.1 million for the long-term, triple-net ground lease. The sale achieved a cap rate of 4.55%, a record-low cap rate for a Portillo’s in the United States. Hanley’s Executive Vice Presidents Bill Asher and Jeff Lefko, along with President Ed Hanley, in association with Lee Csenar of Hanley Investment
Real Estate Advisors Inc., represented the seller, a private investor in Orange County, California. The buyer, a private investor in Los Angeles County, was represented by Chuck Wilson and Kenny Patricia of Colliers International in Irvine, California. Hanley identified an all-cash buyer based in Southern California seeking a single-tenant passive investment to fulfill a 1031 exchange requirement and sourced an off-market opportunity by leveraging an existing relationship with a Southern California-based de-
veloper. “Single-tenant NNN retail investment supply was extremely tight in the last six months of 2021,” Asher said. “Market conditions promoted more incremental off-market transactions, matching up motivated buyers with properties not formally on the market, putting owners in a unique position capitalize on entertaining unsolicited offers at historic record-breaking prices.” Portillo’s is located at 17125 N. 79th Avenue in Arrowhead Towne Center. The 7,800-square-foot restaurant
building, situated on 1.92 acres, has an outdoor patio and a double-lane drive-thru. It is Arizona’s fourth Portillo’s and the Chicago-based chain’s 67th location overall across nine states. The restaurant, which opened on April 27, 2021, serves Chicago-style hot dogs, Italian beef sandwiches, char-grilled burgers, fresh salads and chocolate cake. Portillo’s Home Kitchen is the company’s fast-growing catering business. Portillo’s also ships food to all 50 states via its website.

Show Your Heart Some Love This Valentine’s Day!
By: DR. RAHUL MALHOTRA, MD, FACC, FSCAI PAID ADVERTISEMENT
February is Heart Month and while heart health should always be a constant focus, it’s a great time to spotlight heart healthy choices and to recommit to your heart care plan. Valentine’s Day is a great place to start. There are lots of ways to make your Valentine’s Day plans heart healthy: • Take your special someone for a heart healthy meal. Avoid red meats, butter and salt and opt for menu items that provide lean protein, such as fish, and variety of vegetables.
• When picking out Valentine’s treats, opt for dark chocolate that’s low in sugar and saturated fat over milk chocolate. Studies show dark chocolate is rich in anti-oxidants and that it can help reduce blood pressure and lower your risk of heart disease. As in all things, even with dark chocolate, moderation is key. • Be active together. Take a ballroom dancing class, enjoy a nice stroll under the stars, pairing a little light activity with your Valentine’s Day is a terrific way to keep your heart healthy.
• Promise to make your heart care a priority. When you care about someone, you want them to take care of themselves and stay healthy. Show your partner you care by nudging them to keep on top of their routine check ups and regular heart care. Prevention goes a long way in avoiding acute cardiac issues. If you’re looking for a heart care partner, our team at Arizona Heart and Vascular Clinic is here for you. Contact us today to schedule an appointment and continue your heart health journey with our expert team.

Supercross’ Raper, Blose anticipating local race BY BRENDAN MAU
Glendale Star Staff Writer
The Valley’s Deven Raper and Chris Blose will hit the dirt on their home field for the Monster Energy Supercross Championship tour at State Farm Stadium on Saturday, Feb. 5. “It’s super fun,” said Blose, who graduated from North Phoenix High School in the Paradise Valley district. “So many fans and friends and family come and watch me do what I do. And something I get to enjoy with everybody.” The Glendale appearance marks his last tour in his storied career. The 34-year-old started racing Supercross in 2006 and earned a bronze medal at the X Games, a ninth-place finish at the 2019 Western Regional 250SX Class; a 2019 Australian Supercross SX2 championship the 2016 AMSOIL Arenacross Championship runner-up; eight AMSOIL Arenacross overall wins (250AX Class); six Monster Energy Supercross 450SX Class top 10 finishes and 13 Monster Energy Supercross 250SX top 10 finishes. Last season, he landed in 11th place overall on the tour with four top 10 finishes. “Since this is definitely my last year, I’m trying to enjoy all the moments,” he said. “When I sit on the line, I see all the fans around me. It’s those little moments that I’m trying to take in. I want to do the best I can and have it be my best year yet. I want to go out with a bang.”
This season has a different meaning for the 31-year-old Raper, a Red Mountain High School graduate. It’s his first tour since suffering a broken pelvis and two broken vertebrae in a preseason crash in November 2019. “That was one of the biggest injuries you can have in motocross for sure,” Raper said. “It was a bad one. And I always thought if I had a big injury like that, that I would probably just call it. But I didn’t want to let it go, I wasn’t ready yet. So, I worked hard to get back into shape and it took me four months of doing physical therapy every day to be able to just walk alone. Once I healed, I went back to racing, but it was still a very big mental block to kind of open back up and go to speed.” Raper, who has been racing professionally since 2009, has had his best season start. “In years prior, I’ve haven’t peaked in the season until after the halfway point,” Raper said. “So, with Phoenix being the fifth round in (of the tour), it’s pretty soon, but I’ve got everything kind of lined up. And I think this year is the year where I can make my first main event in my hometown race, so I’m really looking forward to it and really just work-
Deven Raper
ing towards it every single day.” Blose and Raper come from motocross families. Blose started pushing the pedals at age 3, while Raper started at 8. Raper’s father and older brother are professional riders. However, Raper has financially supported his efforts, and that motivated him. Qualifying for the main event in Phoenix may seem like “doing the impossible, but (something) I’ve done before” being a privateer on this stage. A privateer is a racing entrant who is not directly supported by a manufacturer. He strives to use this platform to influence the next generation. “I want to find somebody who has the passion and the talent to go as far as I have just being a privateer with a small budget with the best in the world,” he said. “I would love to be in a position to make a living running a team and giving someone else like me as a kid the opportunity.” Blose is considering what he’s going to do next. “I’ve been doing this since 2006, so it’s definitely taken its toll on me,” he said. “And now I have a wife and two kids, so I want
Chris Blose
to be home more and experience that life with them. I started my own dirt bike suspension company just recently on the first of the year. So once the season’s over, it’ll be full on with that.” Like Raper, Blose wants to inspire upand-coming riders. “When I’m at the practice track, I really tried to talk with people and be friendly and just be like a normal person in their eyes,” he said. “I might be someone who might race supercross and kind of who they look up to, but I just tried to be a normal person that can sit down and talk with them and have fun. People always ask me, ‘What do you tell people to make them be better? What can I do?’ “Honestly, just have fun. We all started racing dirt bikes and riding dirt bikes because it was fun. If you’re not having fun, it’s not worth it. So, it’s just to stay safe and have fun with it.” Raper is proud to be one of two pro riders from Arizona. “My whole family is there,” he said. “This race is an annual thing, and my title sponsors are from Arizona. Kelly’s Kawasaki is a bike dealership in Mesa. And then RJC racing, my sponsor Dale, is a general contractor out of Mesa as well. He owns restaurants, and we always have a get-together at his restaurant the night before the race, and it’s a cool feeling. I’m stoked that we get to race in my hometown, because it definitely brings a lot more energy than any another one.”

Mecum car auction returning to the Valley BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Mecum Auctions, the world’s largest collector car auction company, will return to State Farm Stadium from Wednesday, March 16, to Saturday, March 19, for its fourth auction in Glendale, with an estimated 1,500 vehicles and nearly 200 pieces of road art and memorabilia items to be offered. Among the highlights is a pair of Ford GTs, the first being a 2006 Ford GT (Lot R160) that was previously owned by NFL Hall of Famer John Elway. Cloaked in yellow with the optional black stripes and a black interior, the GT is offered at no reserve with just 232 miles on the odometer. The other is a 2020 Ford GT (Lot R305) that is finished in Triple Yellow Tri-Coat with Shadow Black overtop stripes — an optional color scheme that cost $17,500 — and shows just 1,270 miles on the odometer. Other main attractions include a Ferrari Classiche-certified 1967 Ferrari 275 GTB/4 (Lot R322), S/N 9495 and Scaglietti Body No. A0037, with a correct 3286cc four-cam V-12 engine that is
believed to be one of only two spare engines produced by the factory; research suggests that it was mounted on the chassis in the late 1960s. The Glendale auction will additionally feature a 1929 Duesenberg Model J Murphy Convertible Coupe (Lot R430), J-142/2165, that was the recipient of an AACA National First Prize and ACD Category 1 certification, and it’s powered by a 420/265 HP Lycoming inline eight-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission. The auction will also highlight several private collections, including the Hooked on Vettes Collection of 13 topshelf Corvettes from collector Michael Brown featuring a 1954 Chevrolet Corvette Roadster (Lot R103) that is one of four finished in black, a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe (Lot R106), a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (Lot R109) with a matching-numbers 427/435 HP Tri-Power V-8, and a 2020 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe (Lot R115) with just 1,639 miles and the Z51 package, to name just a
few. The collection will also feature a selection of nearly 200 large-scale neon signs ranging from neon advertising for dealership and automotive brands to restaurants, gas stations, radios and more. The Mile High Collection will bring a Ford- and Shelby-heavy selection to the Glendale auction block, ranging from a 1969 Shelby GT500 Fastback (Lot R138) and a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Fastback (Lot R136) with the 428 Super Cobra Jet and Drag Pack to a 2020 Ford Shelby Signature Series (Lot R162) with 103 miles on the odometer and the John Elway GT (Lot R160). The collection isn’t just limited to Fords, though, as it also packs a punch from the Mopar stables, including vehicles like a 2020 Dodge Challenger 50th Anniversary Limited Edition (Lot R146) and a 32-mile 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat (R145).

Our lost and found department is in Luke 15 One of my favorite chapters in the Scriptures is Luke 15. There are three stories of loss and recovery, all designed to communicate that no matter how lost one feels in this life, the way for healing is always there. God’s waiting, loving, wanting, wishing and hoping all of us “flawsome” people will someday return. What does “flawsome” mean to God? It’s God knowing our flaws but also knowing we are awesome. Heaven is a lost and then found department, not just a found department. Jesus didn’t come to judge the world; He came to save or rescue us from the world. Jesus says to us, “You are worth dying for.” When we find out how much we are worth to God, we will stop giving discounts. When people hate you for no reason, remember God loves you for no reason. Check out this short story illustrating “flawsome.” A well-known speaker started his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of over 200 people, he asked a question, “Who would like this $20 bill?” Hands started going up. He said, “I will give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the $20 bill up. Then he asked, “Who still wants it?” All the hands stayed in the air. “Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. “Now, who still wants it?” All the hands were up in the air. “People, you have all learned a precious lesson. It did not decrease in value. Even though the $20 bill is crumpled up and dirty, it
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist
is still worth $20.” In our lives, we are often dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. As a result, we feel we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God’s eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, to God, you are still priceless.” Let’s visit our lost and found department in Luke, Chapter 15. First, we see the lost sheep. Next, we see a lost coin. And last, we see a lost son. Notice that I focused on lostness. People tend to see the negative side of things. We think in terms of shame and missteps. So, I’m changing it. God believes another way. God sees the found sheep, the found coin and the found son. They once were lost, but now they’re found. These three lost and found examples were given by Jesus to the assembled Pharisees, who have accused him of dining with “sinners.” The Pharisees weren’t fair, you see. They judged everyone by their behavior. The Pharisees represent religion at its worst. But Jesus came to show us what God thinks of people. The Pharisees knew the “sinners” names but called them by their sin. Jesus knew their sin but called them by their names. Who people are and what they do are two different things.
Jesus uses the example of a man with 100 sheep. If he lost one of them, he would leave the other 99 to go and find the lost one and rejoice when he found it. Leaving the 99 sheep to find the one sheep seems stupid unless you’re the one sheep. Sheep are sometimes dumb, but they are also valuable. So Jesus, overflowing with joy, says, “Celebrate with me! I’ve found my lost sheep! Count on it — there’s more joy in heaven over one lost person’s rescued life than over 99 good people in no need of rescue.” Then Jesus tells a story relating to a woman who has 10 coins of silver, loses one, lights a candle, and sweeps the house to find the missing coin. She rejoices when she sees the lost coin. Being less visible doesn’t make something less valuable. Once again, he draws a parallel with heaven and repentance. Jesus’ emphasis is on not giving up on those things — or people — which are feared lost. Lesson: Regaining something valuable, thought to be lost forever, is always a reason to rejoice. The coin, which has significant value to its owner, was lost but now is found. Lastly, we have a father and two sons. His wayward son strays from his upbringing through living a godless life in a country far away. He loses his inheritance, insults his father’s honor, and wrongs his father’s love for him. Isn’t it interesting how those who walk away from God move far away from God? Coming to his senses, the wayward son returns to the father. When the father sees his son returning from some distance away, it’s as if he knew his son would return. The father runs to him, forgives him, and wel-
comes him back into the fold, celebrating his return with a feast. The father declares, “My son is here, given up for dead, and now alive! Given up for lost and now found!” Lesson: Those who forget God humble themselves and then realize how much they need God afterward will experience a guiltless and glorious homecoming when they return. Why? God’s not dead; God’s dad. The sheep story addresses a broken relationship with God. The coin addresses a broken identity; part of the woman was missing. The son represents a broken home. The sheep story addresses spiritual lostness. The coin story addresses systematic brokenness in people. Finally, the son’s story addresses social pain. Notice the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in action, addressing these issues, if people let them. The found sheep represents the Good Shepherd, Jesus as the Son who saves. The found coin represents the Good Comforter, the Holy Spirit who reveals and restores. The found son represents the patient Father who loves. Today, our takeaway is that the Godsquad loves us crumpled and dirty $20 bills. In the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and the Pharisees. It’s who you know that matters in heaven. Ed Delph is a noted author of 10 books, as well as a pastor, teacher, former business owner and speaker.

Ironwood senior a national scholarship semifinalist BY SUMMER AGUIRRE Glendale Star Staff Writer
An Ironwood High School senior has been named a semifinalist for the 67th National Merit Scholarship Program. Glendale born and raised, Cienna Charron is one of 16,000 semifinalists across the country in the National Merit Scholarship competition, which is offering approximately 7,500 scholarships totaling nearly $30 million. Charron said she is excited about her achievement and the potential opportunities as she plans for her future after high school. “Honestly, it’s just an exciting experience because it just opened a lot of doors for me,” Charron said. “Because, financing college — a lot of my options were open and it made the decision easier. It’s an easy decision to have college almost paid for versus spending a lot of money. … I’m really grateful for the opportunity to be a National Merit Scholar.”
The National Merit Scholarship Corporation was established in 1955 to recognize academically talented youth and encourage them to develop their skills and abilities to their fullest potential, according to its website. Upon entering the 2022 competition, students must have taken the 2020 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test in their junior year, a press release disclosed. The semifinalists consist of the highest-scoring entrants in each state, which represent less than 1% of high school seniors in the nation. Semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist round, including a scholarship application submission detailing the student’s academic record, skills and accomplishments, an endorsement and recommendation by a school official, an essay and a high SAT or ACT scores confirming their performance on the qualifying test.

No Offeror shall withdraw their Offer during this ninety (90) day period. Published: Glendale Star, Feb 3, 2022 / 44458
Approximately 95% of semifinalists are expected to continue to the finalist standing, and half of the competition’s finalists earn the Merit Scholar title that accompanies the National Merit Scholarship award. Charron expressed she has always “downplayed” her achievements and successes. “I feel like if I win it, it’ll just validate my success and all the steps I’ve taken to push myself into the next phase of life,” the senior shared. Charron participated in a number of clubs and extracurriculars during her high school career and has made an effort to prepare herself for her future. She was involved in an engineering club through SkillsUSA, a career and technical student organization, where she refined her skills and worked with others who share an interest in engineering. In her junior year, Charron participated in the engineering program of MET Professional Academy (medical, engineering, technology) and developed professional skills, like public speaking. Charron changed gears this year, dedicating more time and energy into taking community college courses through Gateway and Glendale community colleges. She is also the team captain of her school’s varsity basketball team, in which she has played on since her freshman year. “I really tried to strive, especially the last couple of years. I’ve tried to push myself out of my comfort zone and
take on more leadership roles because I wasn’t always super comfortable with being a leader,” Charron said. “I would just let whoever wants to be the leader lead, but I found that I can bring a lot to the table if I take charge sometimes when no one else seems to want to.” Post-high school, Charron will be attending the University of Arizona in Tucson. She said she is looking at an engineering degree for mechanicals or systems engineering but will initially enroll as an undecided major until she determines a concrete path. As part of the National Merit Scholarship Program, Charron will also be enrolled in the university’s Honors College. Charron said she hopes to continue her involvement in clubs and extracurriculars to expand her reach. She added that she is interested in studying abroad and the ambassador programs for engineering and Honors. “I feel like that’s something I would really get into, helping the new students and high school students (with) something they’re really interested in and just kind of show them that student perspective as they’re looking into different colleges,” she expressed, adding that she took a tour of the school. “Because I know that that was super beneficial for me to share a student’s perspective.” The 2022 National Merit Scholarship finalists will be announced in February. Winners from the pool of finalists will then be announced from April through July, according to a press release.
