Faith leaders want 2023 Super Bowl moved BY JEREMIAH SOSA Cronkite News
NEWS................... 4 GCC professor publishes article on rhino poaching
BUSINESS ......... 12 Galentine’s Day returns to Downtown Glendale
Faith leaders from around the country are calling for the NFL to move the 2023 Super Bowl out of Arizona, citing several bills they characterize as voter suppression. “We all would love for Arizona to see that kind of revenue, to bring that many people here to invest in our state, but I think there are times where you can’t remain silent, and this is the time where money has to not supersede morality,” said the Rev. Dontá McGilvery, pastor of outreach and justice at First Institutional Baptist Church in Phoenix. “We have to show that money cannot be more important than people. And right now, the most important thing is voting rights and how our government is restricting that.”

The Rev. Stephen A. Green, chair of Faith for Black Lives in New York, created a petition addressed to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell calling for Super Bowl LVII to be moved from Arizona, which is scheduled for Feb. 12, 2023, in Glendale.

Cactus League on the ropes for 3rd year BY KEN SAIN

Spring is coming, but it appears Cactus League baseball will be delayed. Pitchers and catchers are scheduled to start reporting on Valentine’s Day, but instead of peanuts and Cracker Jacks, baseball fans will likely get broken hearts. A labor dispute is threatening the Cactus League season. If it delays the start, it will be the third straight year that Spring Training in Arizona suffered. “The Cactus League is the crown jew-
el of Arizona tourism,” said Kim Sabow, president and CEO of the Arizona Lodging and Tourism Association. “There is most definitely a ripple effect that permeates our entire economy.” Baseball owners locked out players once the previous collective bargaining agreement expired on Dec. 2. MLB Players Association leaders have said they gave up too much in the most recent agreements and they are determined to get some of that back. The Associated Press reported that the

average salary for Major League Baseball players has dropped from about $4.1 million in 2018 to $4.05 million in 2019 and $3.89 million in 2020 (based on a whole season). The median MLB salary last year was down 6% from where it was in 2017. AP said the last time salaries were this low was in 2015. Owners, however, don’t want to give up their gains.

move voters from the permanent early voting list of people who automatically receive mail-in ballots if they failed to vote in consecutive election cycles. Of the 200-plus signatures from faith leaders, 36 live in Arizona. One is the Rev. Aubrey L. Barnwell, a pastor at First New Life Church in Phoenix. “The reason I signed (the petition) was because of the persistence we have to go through to actually get visibility and to realize how critical it is for those of us who are in leadership, specifically faith and the connection between voting rights and people having access to the polls,” Barnwell said. However, Barnwell, along with the other faith leaders in Arizona who signed the petition, have seen a major pushback from those who want to keep the Super Bowl in Arizona, in large part due to the significant economic impact that the event would provide to the Phoenix metropolitan area. During the 2015 Super Bowl, which was held in Glendale, the greater Phoenix area saw a $719 million economic impact, according to a study from Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey
NEWS
School of Business. That was up over $200 million from the $500 million the area saw during the 2008 Super Bowl. This is familiar territory for Arizonans. In 1993, Arizona was set to be the home of Super Bowl XXVII, an event that was estimated to generate between $200 million and $250 million in economic revenue for the state. However, after Arizona voters failed to approve a 1990 proposition that would have made Martin Luther King Jr. Day a state-paid holiday, the NFL and its commissioner at the time, Paul Tagliabue, decided to move the game from Tempe to Pasadena, California. A spokesperson for Gov. Doug Ducey released a statement that said, “The benefits, both direct and indirect, for businesses large and small are tremendous. It’s an opportunity to put Arizona on full display across the country. It is unfathomable why anyone would want to deny Arizona these benefits and this opportunity. … To call on the NFL to not bring the Super Bowl to Arizona over a bill that may not get out of committee is beyond belief.” There is precedence.

In 2021, Major League Baseball pulled its All-Star Game out of Atlanta and moved it to Denver due to what some said was a restrictive voting law against people of color in Georgia. That decision was inspiration for Green when he was creating his petition. “It definitely inspired it in understanding that sporting teams and sporting corporations have a role to play in protecting our democracy,” he said. “Major League Baseball’s move to suddenly move the All-Star Game from Georgia I think suggests that it is possible to move the Super Bowl game from Arizona.” When asked if he expects the NFL to respond to the petition, Green said, “We do. You know, we will continue to escalate our ask, and our movement until they do.” Part of Green’s plan to escalate his movement is to hold a rally called “I Love Democracy” on Feb. 14 in Glendale. “We will hold a press conference in a rally to prove how serious we are about this effort to move the Super Bowl from Arizona,” Green said.

GCC professor publishes article on rhino poaching BY GLENDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE Glendale Community College earth and environmental sciences professor Michael Strong’s article, “We Would Like This Place to be a Town: The Benefits and Challenges of Rural Development Near Protected Areas,” appears in a recent edition of World Development Perspectives. Strong co-authored the manuscript with Julie Silva, associate professor in geographical sciences at the University of Maryland. The article examines the spatial and temporal dynamics of dwelling construction in two rural Mozambican villages
located in a region associated with high levels of rhino poaching. Using photographs and semi-structured interviews, this work illuminates how rural residents invest rapid cash infusions. For those residents unable to upgrade, exposure to upgraded dwellings corresponded to positive assessments of community development. Residents not living in neighborhoods experiencing development were more likely to describe “traditional” dwellings as diminishing human dignity. Taken together, these findings suggest that as people witness successful upgrading among their neighbors, it may incen-
tivize participation in illegal activities that directly conflict with conservation goals when alternative income-earning opportunities are not available. Strong earned a Ph.D. in geographical sciences from the University of Maryland and a MA in geography and environmental planning from Towson University. He has published several papers on conservation and rural development in the Limpopo National Park region of Mozambique. He teaches courses in earth and environmental sciences at GCC, chairs the sustainability instructional council, and is the faculty co-director of the GCC honors program.

of missed paychecks or gate receipts, the other side will be more willing to compromise. However, for that to happen, Spring Training and possibly regular season games would have to be postponed. That’s not good news for people in the Valley who rely on Spring Training to bring in tourism dollars and boost the local economy. The W.P. Carey School of Business at ASU estimated the 2019 Cactus League season brought in more than $644 million in economic impact. That number dropped significantly in 2020 after the pandemic forced an early end to Spring Training on March 12. The business school estimates the economic impact of that shortened season fell to only $363 million that year. “The pinch we’re feeling is that we’re not able to distribute as much money out to youth sports,” said Steve Adams, the president of the Hohokams nonprofit group, which handles parking at both Mesa ballparks. “We’ve earned enough money for the past two years to basically cover our operating costs, but didn’t have any

The two Ohio teams, the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds, set up shop in Goodyear. The Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres are based in Peoria, and the Texas Rangers and Kansas City Royals play in Surprise. Sabow said the ASU study found that 6 out of 10 fans attending Cactus League games came from out of state. It also found that a third of them travel to other parts of Arizona. “I want to emphasize, we remain optimistic,” Sabow said. “When a decision is reached, this industry is ready to welcome everybody back. We’re looking forward to a 2022 Cactus League season. It would be devastating for the local economy if there isn’t one.” She’s not the only one remaining optimistic. “We’re definitely hopeful,” Binsbacher said. “We’re not part of those conversations, but we’re watching it closely.”

AZ residents scramble to get last Walking Liberty Rolls ARIZONA - Once Arizona residents got wind that Arizona State Restricted Bank Rolls filled with Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s were being handed over, there was a mad dash to get them. That’s because some of these U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins are already worth hundreds in collector value. “It’s like a run on the banks. The phones are ringing off the hook. That’s because everyone is trying to get them before they’re all gone,” according to officials at the National Mint and Treasury who say they can barely keep up with all the orders. In fact, they had to impose a strict limit of 4 Arizona State Restricted Bank Rolls. So, if you get the chance to get your hands on these State Restricted Bank Rolls you better hurry because hundreds of Arizona residents already have and you don’t want to miss out. You see, the U.S. Gov’t stopped minting
these Silver Walking Liberties in 1947 and there can never be any more which makes them extremely collectible. And here’s the best part. The rolls are unsearched so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value. That’s why at just the $39 state minimum set by National Mint and Treasury it’s a deal too good to pass up. But you better hurry because these Arizona State Restricted Bank Rolls are the only ones known to exist and Arizona residents are grabbing them up as fast as they can. That’s because they make amazing gifts for children, grandchildren and loved ones. Just imagine the look on their face when you hand them one of the State Restricted Rolls — they’ll tell everyone they know what you did for them.
■ GOT ‘EM: Residents all across Arizona who get their hands on these State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls are definitely showing them off. That’s because they are the only ones known to exist. And here’s the best part, these Bank Rolls are loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty coins some dating back to the early 1900’s and worth up to 100 times their face value so everyone wants them.
Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to Arizona residents
Arizona residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for the next 2 days
STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per AZ resident has been imposed
ARIZONA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Arizona Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Arizona residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. “National Mint and Treasury recently spoke with its Chief Professional Numismatist who said ‘Very few people have ever actually seen one of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of Arizona Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we

won’t be surprised if thousands of Arizona residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per resident before they’re all gone,” said Lynne. “That’s because after the Bank Rolls were loaded with 15 rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks of the U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars sealed away inside the State of Arizona Restricted Bank Rolls have never been searched. But, we do know that some of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Arizona residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Arizona you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. The only thing Arizona residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins many Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars are now worth $40 - $825 each in collector value,” Lynne said. “We’re guessing thousands of Arizona residents will be taking the maximum limit of 4 Bank Rolls because they make such amazing gifts for any occasion for children, parents, grandparents, friends and loved ones,” Lynne continued. “We know the phones will be ringing off the hook. That’s why hundreds of Hotline Operators are standing by to answer the phones beginning at 8:30 am this morning. We’re going to do our best, but with just 2 days 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.” Lynne said. The only thing readers of today’s newspaper publication need to do is make sure they are a resident of the state of Arizona and call the National Toll-Free Hotlines before the 2-day deadline ends midnight tomorrow. ■
HOW TO CLAIM THE LAST STATE RESTRICTED BANK ROLLS FACTS:
If you are a Arizona State Resident read the important information below about claiming the State Silver Bank Rolls, then call the State Toll-Free Hotline at 8:30 am: 1-800-979-3771 EXT: RWB4124
Are these Silver Walking Liberties worth more than other half dollars:
Yes. These U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties were minted in the early 1900’s and will never be minted again. That makes them extremely collectible. The vast majority of half dollars minted after 1970 have no silver content at all and these Walking Liberties were one of the last silver coins minted for circulation. That’s why many of them now command hundreds in collector value so there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.
How much are State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls worth:
It’s impossible to say, but some of these U.S Gov’t issued Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s are worth up to 100 times the face value and there are 15 in each Bank Roll so you better hurry if you want to get your hands on them. Collector values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees. But we do know they are the only Arizona State Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and Walking Liberties are highly collectible so anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Silver Bank Rolls should hold onto them because there’s no telling how much they could be worth in collector value someday.
Why are so many Arizona residents claiming them:
Because they are the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist and everyone wants their share. Each Bank Roll contains a whopping 15 Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value. Best of all Arizona residents are guaranteed to get them for the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty for the next two days.
How do I get the State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls:
Arizona residents are authorized to claim up to the limit of 4 State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls by calling the State Toll Free Hotline at 1-800-979-3771 Ext. RWB4124 starting at precisely 8:30 am this morning. Everyone who does is getting the only State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Rolls known to exist. That’s a full Bank Roll containing 15 Silver Walking Liberties from the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the state minimum set by the National Mint and Treasury of just $39 per Silver Walking Liberty, which is just $585 for the full Bank Rolls and that’s a real steal because non state residents are not permitted to call before 5 pm tomorrow and must pay $1,770 for each Arizona State Restricted Walking Liberty Silver Bank Roll if any remain.

Election audit raised questions that are ignored BY J.D. HAYWORTH
Glendale Star Columnist
If a murder mystery is called a “whodunit,” what should we call the curious events surrounding Election Day 2020? The left has collectively decried any expression of concern as willing participation in spreading “the big lie.” The right, gobsmacked by the audacity and perverse ingenuity of the caper’s magnitude, has characteristically split into two major factions. First, there are the MAGA backers who loudly object that what transpired was the “Crime of the Century.” Then there are the Establishmentarians, who are so dependent on “business as usual” in the D.C. swamp that they meekly agree with their tormentors across the aisle. It is that second “conservative” faction, racked by the odious combina-
tion of self-interest and self-loathing, that predictably earns plaudits from the chattering classes. While the blow-dried and bubbly infotainers on the alphabet networks and their cable cousins celebrate Republican “statesmen,” a very different assessment comes from Americans who work hard, play by the rules, and have been awakened to the absurd scam of “wokeism.” On the rare occasions when those outside the spotlight are asked about their wayward “brethren,” a one-word description is heard: “Sellouts!” The Arizona Senate, unlike its federal counterpart, actually took steps to explore possible electoral malfeasance in Arizona’s most populous county. For its authorization of an election audit in Maricopa County, a cacophony of
criticism was unleashed upon our state Senate. The pro-authoritarian stenographers who self-identify as “journalists” routinely ignore or mischaracterize revelations that raise the specter of a suspect election. A case in point: the recent Senate Government Committee hearing featuring the testimony of Paul Harris, who voiced his concerns with possible violations of the Uniform Overseas Civilian Absentee Voting Act. Harris, an audit manager, told the committee that actual ballots had been replaced by sheets of copy paper: “Did you all know that our ballots came back like this from our overseas people? Did any of you know this? It is such a sham that I had people every day at my table taking pictures of these ‘ballots’ that were scanned down. It took my team three complete days to count all of the UOCAVA ballots.
“You know why? Because in 2016, the numbers were apparently 1,600 UOCAVA ballots that came back in the most significant election in our lifetime. In 2020, the numbers were close to 9,600 ballots that came back. … And in a state where a candidate won by 10,000 votes, that is 8,000 new votes during an election where people were brought home because there was a pandemic. … No chain of custody. There’s nothing to identify where this piece of paper came from.” No imagination is required to identify where the local daily newspaper is coming from in its coverage, which headlined its coverage thusly: “Arizona Senate panel gives platform to conspiracy theories as it approves election-related bills.” Objective coverage? Fuggedaboutit!
caught on the fly, or makes it perfectly through the goal posts. So, all we can do is cheer, yell and coach from the living room. Oh, we are great armchair coaches. What were special teams thinking when they sent out only 10 men to block a field goal? Yikes, and this happened to be the game-winning field goal. Idiots! Hold on, quarterback, why are you going for a touchdown at the one-yard line when you should call in the kicker? And wait, did we just see that in the final moments of a game when the quarterback spiked the ball, an umpire allowed the clock to run out? Hey, it seems unfair that a coin toss sets up overtime play! Of course, it’s not so “unfair” if you win. Let all the pundits and sports analysts dissect the season. We have bigger fish to fry. Not exactly fish, more like chick-
en wings. Yep, Americans love their wings, and this Super Bowl Sunday we will consume approximately 1.35 billion of them. And let’s not forget that we also love pizza. Americans will eat about 30 million slices of pizza on game day. How might we wash it all down? Well, let’s try with 325 million gallons of beer. Which actually goes well with the 9,200 tons of chips that we will be eating. In other words, on Super Bowl Sunday, we have become pigs. Super Bowl Sunday ranks only behind Thanksgiving as the biggest food consumption day of the year. The average person watching a game will devour 6,000 calories of yummy treats and libations. OK, who said that watching a football game had to be healthy? The proof is in the Pepcid because
sales of antacids increase by 20% within 24 hours after the Super Bowl. Guess all those chips, dips, wings, pizza and beer has consequences. And a shocking 6% of Americans will call in sick from work the day after the big game. Perhaps this year, Valentine’s Day is being eclipsed by a bigger celebration — of indigestion and hangovers. Only kidding, we can love a little football and still eat candy on Valentine’s Day. Hmmm, not so sure. Get ready for football! Enjoy the spectacle of a great show. Grab your favorite antacid and munch away because wings, pizza and beer are recommended — but not required.
J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10, Phoenix, from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 1995-2007.
The Super Bowl is blocking Valentine’s Day BY JUDY BLUHM
Glendale Star Columnist
What are you doing this Sunday? Let me guess, you might be joining about 100 million other Americans to watch the Super Bowl, where the Bengals and Rams lock horns (no pun intended). OK, so maybe our favorite team is not even in the game, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a little football. What we witnessed during the playoffs was possibly the most thrilling battles we have seen in a while. Underdogs ruling the day. Overtime deciding the fate of teams. Mistakes, fumbles, interceptions and plain stupid calls played out in front of our disbelieving eyes. And yet, we also witnessed greatness, when a ball sails through the air to new heights, to be

Galentine’s Day returns to Downtown Glendale BY ANNIKA TOMLIN
Glendale Star Staff Writer
Love is in the air as Valentine’s Day is around the corner. Historic Downtown Glendale is hosting Galentine’s Day for women and their friends from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 12. “I actually hosted a Galentine’s Day at my home for my friends and thought that that would be a great experience to add to our slate of specialty promotions for Downtown Glendale,” said Valerie Burner, Galentine’s Day chair and owner of Bears & More. “They have always had such a good
time, and ladies like to go out and have a good time together. We just tweaked it a little bit and started it there.” Now in its eighth year, the event offers make-and-take activities, photo ops, gift ideas at the locally owned boutiques and specialty shops in the Catlin Court and Old Towne shopping districts. Iconic eateries will serve sweet treats. Attendees can follow the Historic Downtown Glendale Charm Trail to fill a charm bracelet. “Some restaurants have some special menu items for the day,” Burner said. “There are a lot of stores that have
brought in special merchandise (for the event). And the weather is going to be beautiful — that is always a highlight.” Historic Downtown Glendale has two distinct historic districts: Catlin Court, with mature shade trees and welcoming front porches lined with picket fences, and Old Towne, with unique shops and a growing restaurant row nestled along red brick sidewalks. The two districts span 12 blocks filled with locally owned small businesses. Burner’s Bears & More will host the make-and-take event and the photo ops. She will also decorate the surrounding trees. “We have a lot of new things that we have all tried to integrate into this event,” said Burner, adding the event will include artisans and crafters. “Denise Kartman is going to be doing a jewelry talk show. There will be another artist at Memory Lane, Jan Whalen who will be doing a make and take.” Primarily held outdoors, the event has no official COVID-19 restrictions. “We’ve been doing this a while with these restrictions, so all of us are very well versed in spreading things out,” Burner said. “It used to be we were all tight and close, now we are definitely more spread out. “At (Bears & More’s) make-and-take table I used to fit four, and now I just do two. We keep it safe that way.” Burner said she has enjoyed the laugher and chatter among the guests. “I love seeing the ladies so happy

coming out for the day and the laughter on the street because they are all having a good time,” Burner said. “Especially now, most of them haven’t been together in a while or their time together is further and further apart. Just all of the ladies having fun doing the make and takes because we have always done one.” Activity lists and walking maps are available at the Arizona Information Center at Memory Lane Trinkets and Treasures, 5836 W.

Theater Works hopes to ‘reconnect’ with fundraiser BY SCOTT SHUMAKER Glendale Star Staff Writer
Two years after the pandemic lowered the curtain on traditional stage performances worldwide, Peoria’s community theater troupe Theater Works is planning to raise it again with the Saturday, Feb. 19, fundraising event Ignite Our Next Act. Through the event, the nonprofit company is looking to generate operating funds, but Executive Director Cate Hinkle said the night of musical theater, dancing and live music is more than a fundraiser. It’s the first step in bringing Peoria’s theater lovers together again. “We’ve been fortunate enough to survive these last two years,” Hinkle said. “The goal is to reconnect with those people we haven’t been able to see for the past two years. Our primary objective this year is reconnection.” Its fundraising gala was one of the first events Theater Works canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19. So, Hinkle
Theater Works will celebrate its return to traditional format community theater this year at Ignite Our Next Act fundraiser on Saturday, Feb. 19. (Photo courtesy of Theater Works)
said there’s something poetic about kicking off the return of traditional performances with Ignite Our Next Act. Theater Works is the resident tenant
of the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts, and the fundraiser will be inside and outside the venue. The night starts with a series of musical theater
“I thought if I could stay home with my little one, then I would like to do that,” Benedict said. “It went from me looking for child care to me thinking I could be at home and help somebody else. I didn’t have to go back to work and leave my little ones. I was able to make extra money and have her with me.” According to recent reports, the average annual cost of child care in Arizona for 2021 was $10,948, which is higher than the cost of college tuition. In addition, 85% of parents nationwide report spending 10% or more of their household income on child care. Not only are prices high, but during the pandemic, one-third of the state’s licensed day cares or child care providers
were forced to close, according to the Arizona Early Childhood Alliance. Essentially, the number of children needing care has well exceeded the number of available spots in licensed, affordable day care centers in the Valley. In addition to high prices and lack of availability, Benedict said sometimes kids just don’t fit the box standards required by day care centers. “I have a 3-year-old and she’s not fully potty trained, so they won’t put her in the 3-year-old class,” she said. “So, the fact that she can go to someone’s house and they’ll take care of her like I would take care of her, that’s why Caribou interested me. When it comes to day cares and child care, you have to have specific standards, and not every

It then moves outdoors for dinner and dancing under the stars at Osuna Park Plaza, where House of Cirque will light the night with fire dancing and musician Lee Perreira will perform. Theatergoers don’t have to wait long for live performances on the main stage. “An Evening of Music Celebrating Black History” is slated for Friday, Feb. 25, and Saturday, Feb. 26. In March, Theater Works will debut After Dark for audiences 16 and older. The first show on the bill is “The Superhero Ultraferno,” playing Friday, March 18, through Sunday, April 10. Also in April, youth actors in Theater Works’ Theater Alive! will perform “School House Rock Live! Jr.” Theater Works didn’t rest on its laurels during the pandemic. The company adapted to the conditions by creating a series of “immersive theater experiences” that converted the performing arts center into an “Alice and Wonderland” SEE THEATER PAGE 18
Caribou Childcare is ‘moms helping moms’ BY ALLISON BROWN
Glendale Star Staff Writer
Shortages seem to be impacting every aspect of life, and child care is no exception. With many parents now preparing to return to the office to work, they are left with expensive or completely unavailable child care options. Caribou Childcare, recently launched in the Valley, is an online service that matches stay-at-home moms with families looking for child care. Glendale mom of three Robin Benedict said she was originally planning to go back to work and was looking for child care for her daughter when she found Caribou. She said once she looked into the service, it was a game changer for her.
kid fits those standards. Not every kid is ready at the same time.” Caribou was started mid-pandemic by moms for moms, who both know that being a stay-at-home mom is a full-time job. According to Stephanie McAlpine, Caribou’s regional ambassador, the service matches thoroughly vetted caregivers with families who have similar demographics such as age of kids, location, family dynamics and other personalized factors. “As a mom, who is there better to trust our kids with than people who have actually been through it and raised their own kids as well?” McAlpine said. “Sometimes it’s nice to have someone that knows what each cry means or that

Hinkle said the successful “Curiouser & Curiouser” series helped introduce the world of theater to new audiences and kept actors performing and designers creating while traditional shows were shuttered. Theater Works is looking to maintain build on the successes of the immersive experiences going forward. “It really was such a different way to experience the theater and that was really intriguing,” she said. While “Curiouser & Curiouser” was a successful experiment, Hinkle said Theater Works is excited to return to traditional stage productions. She said live theater plays an important role for neighbors. “Theater is very important to community,” Hinkle said. “Seeing a theater production with your fellow com-
munity members is very unifying. … I would say theater for young people can be very life changing. You create this family when you’re part of this theater and you have this place to go that’s safe and where you can express yourself. “We believe there is lots and lots of talent in the community we live in, (and) we are bringing together our community. … They come to Theater Works to feed their souls, their passions — lawyers, policemen, people from all walks of life.”

knows what a little look or hand gesture could mean because they’ve been through it with their own child.” Another thing that separates Caribou from a day care center is that caregivers are only matched with one family at a time, so there are not too many kids to watch. Because of this, McAlpine said another perk is that the caregiver’s own child gets a friend and has someone to socialize with. “I am a new mom, so I understand the challenges of leaving your child in someone else’s care,” McAlpine said. “For me, it is important for my daughter to socialize, which is why I joined the Caribou community. It has been wonderful meeting like-minded mothers and giving my daughter the opportunity to play and learn from other kids.” Being a stay-at-home mom doesn’t automatically make someone eligible to be a caregiver, though. In fact, Benedict said there is a thorough selection process. “They do a full background check — criminal history, driving history, every-

They came and took pictures of my playroom and everything to put it on my profile. They go to actually see the home and see the caregiver in person.” Since launching Caribou in fall 2021, nearly 100 stay-at-home moms across metro Phoenix have signed up to provide safe and personalized in-home care for children. Caribou Childcare services are available in Anthem, Glendale, Peoria, North Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler and Scottsdale. “It’s moms helping moms, and it gives you that community feeling where if you don’t have family or don’t have a family that helps you, it’s nice to have the opportunity to have a company that also feels like they could be friends,” Benedict said. “It’s not just child care, it’s bonding and it’s friends for the kids.”

The same event can have different perspectives Have you ever noticed that two people can look at the same event and both see something completely different? Let me illustrate this idea with the diary of the wife and her husband about the same event. Wife’s diary: “Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset that I was a bit late, but he made no comment about it. The conversation wasn’t flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet to talk. “I asked him what was wrong, and he said nothing. I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn’t upset and that it had nothing to do with me and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly and kept driving. I can’t explain his behavior. I don’t know why he didn’t say, ‘I love you, too.’ “When we arrived home, I felt I had lost him completely. He just sat there quietly and watched TV. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep. I cried. I didn’t know what to do. My life is a disaster.” Husband’s diary: “A 2-foot putt! Who the H-E-double-hockey-sticks misses a 2-foot putt?” I thought this story would be appropriate for Phoenicians for this week’s Phoenix Open golf tournament. Can you imagine what a professional golfer’s spouse goes through? Here is a story that Carl George told
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist
many years ago at a conference I attended. It takes us beyond the tyranny of the urgent or the tyranny of raw emotions into real, tangible and lasting solutions. So often, jumping into feelings and conclusions without logic is like jumping off a cliff. The outcome for you and others can be devastating. “Go with me to a country just hit by a devastating earthquake, where 45,000 people are injured or dead. Two medical teams, each headed by a doctor, are being airlifted to the heart of the disaster area. “The physician leading the first crew steps out of the helicopter and is immediately overwhelmed by all the carnage he sees. There, barely 10 paces away, workers pull a mangled living body from under the rubble. Moved by compassion, the doctor rushes over and calculates the personnel, equipment and facilities needed to help this victim. He assigns half his medical team and half their supplies to work on this one person. “A handful of survivors, sensing the availability to help, bring the physician another case. This victim is in even worse condition. The doctor assigns the rest of his medical team and resources to care for this person. “Now the doctor faces a worse dilemma than when his helicopter touched down. He would like to treat 44,998 more people but has already
expended all his resources on the first two bodies presented to him. He decides that the only solution is to make himself even more available. He resolves that he and his staff will push themselves harder. They will be on call 20 hours a day, seven days a week, to treat as many individuals as possible. “Unfortunately, this well-intentioned medic returned home a few weeks later. His body has not kept pace with his desire to help. With his resistance lowered, he caught one of the diseases rampant in the disaster area. The care he and his exhausted team provided came to a standstill until replacements arrived. “Meanwhile, what is the second medical team doing? Their preliminary assessment, likewise, takes only a matter of moments. They also are deeply shocked and moved with compassion toward the massive death and pain evident in every direction. “The second team’s head physician quickly concludes that her small group by itself is inadequate. So, instead of scooping up the first person in sight and immediately beginning treatment, this doctor opts for a different plan. She calculates a strategy that will touch a maximum number of people in the least amount of time, using the scarce resources available. “The doctor announces to her team, ‘Let’s train some people as life-support engineers. One group will make sure safe drinking water is available; another will deal with shelter issues and food. Yet another group will work on waste control and public health by repairing the citywide sewer system to take the fecal matter off the street be-

fore it mixes into the water supply or spreads into homes.’ “This relief and preventative care, multiplied throughout the disaster area, retarded the growth of the infection and allowed the medical intervention to have a significant impact. The team acknowledged the reality but saw the best remedy for the situation. Which of the medical teams was more caring? Both teams had equally strong feelings of love and compassion. However, they differed on how they showed their concern. The initial response of most people is to plunge into immediate action focusing on the immediate needs.” What struck me most about this illustration is Jesus did the same thing the second doctor did most of the time. He was led by the Holy Spirit, not fleshly impulses or the tyranny of the urgent. His leadership impacted 12 leaders who paved the way to a higher level of long-range care and living. Jesus was sent to save the whole world. He did it efficiently and effectively. Our panic attack or plan of attack takeaway for today is, “When you can’t control what’s happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what happening. That’s where true power is” (Karen Salmansohn). In other words, when problems then assumptions come, please don’t go with them.

OBITUARIES Rita Suzanna Freda
Rita Suzanna Freda of Stevens Point, WI, formerly of Peoria, AZ, passed away early Sunday morning, January 16, 2022, at Willow Brooke Point Senior Living Center in Stevens Point. Age 93, Rita was born December 9, 1928, in Stevens Point and was the daughter of the late Raymond and Suzanne (Tork) Freda. She attended schools in Butternut, WI and Chicago, IL. Rita was full of life - a trailblazer and successful businesswoman. She worked at Western Electric in Chicago for 35 years, and she was a union steward back in the days when women did not hold those positions. At the age of 58, she became a realtor in Illinois and then in Peoria, Arizona, maintaining her license until the age of 92. She was a gifted musician and loved spending time with her friends. She considered herself a "tough old broad," but would give you the shirt off her back, if needed. She was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Clifford Freda, her sister Joan Lecher, her nephew Roger Freda, and her nieces Christine Carlson and Lizabeth Kaske. Survivors include her nieces and nephews: Michael Freda, Timothy Lecher, Patricia Arneson, Kathleen Fellowes, Lance Lecher, Amy Felckowski, and Joseph Lecher. A celebration of Rita's life will be held this summer along with her burial committal at Guardian Angel Cemetery in Stevens Point. Pisarski Funeral Home is honored to be serving the family. Online condolences may be sent by visiting www.pisarskifuneralhome.com.

Cindy Segotta-Jones, Superintendent
The Kiwanis Club of Glendale has supported the community since its charter was established on January 28, 1972. To commemorate their commitment to helping children and families, students and staff honored the Kiwanis Club of Glendale by throwing a surprise 50th birthday party. Students from Desert Spirit School created birthday cards and the GESD Executive Team shared their gratitude for the Kiwanians' 50 years of service. The Kiwanis Club of Glendale supports GESD with programs such as the Kiwanis Student of the Month and other giving initiatives.
