Report backs city plans to sell golf course

As Glen Lakes Golf Course prepares for its final round, the city updated the council on the future of the land.

The city has had no firm offers, as of late January, even though when council gave direction in December 2018 to sell the land, local community groups tried to find a buyer. It will permanently close March 29.

“We have had a couple of inquiries, but no official offers for the golf course,” City Manager Kevin Phelps said. “If we got an offer for the course that cost taxpayers nothing and we were not on the hook for financing the course, we would absolutely listen, but we have had no offers.”

The 52-year-old course at 5450 W. Northern Avenue sits on 44.6 acres of city-owned land. The nine-hole, executive-length golf course opened in 1966 and is a par 33, totaling 2,403 yards. The city purchased the course for $1.1 million in 1979 and has operated it through a series of qualified golf course management firms since then.

Golf Maintenance Solutions (GMS) took over operations of the course in March 2018 and has improved the course and maintenance. The course has been in its best condition in nearly a decade.

“I have played here for years, and actually stopped for a couple of years because the course became so run down,” Peoria resident Donald Davidson said after com-

ing off the course in early February.

“I started coming back when it was announced it might close, and it has not been in this good a shape in probably 10 years.”

Glendale also owns Desert Mirage Golf Course, less than 5 miles away from Glen Lakes. When the council decided to sell Glen Lakes, they were concerned they may have the same issues at Desert Mirage if they kept both courses.

“For Glen Lakes to pay for itself, they would have to have 87 rounds per day, 365 days a year,” Cholla Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff said during an earlier council meeting.

“I understand citizens nearby want the green space in the neighborhood, but I SEE GOLF PAGE 2

Rep. Debbie Lesko told The Glendale Star on February 22 that storage systems are the future of renewable energy.

Lesko, who represents Congressional District 8, had just completed a tour of Arizona Public Service’s (APS) Festival Ranch battery on the heels of an announcement by the company a day earlier that it will embark on a clean energy initiative and will give residents “solar after sunset.”

Through the three-part initiative, APS will add 850 megawatts of battery storage and at least 100 SEE APS PAGE 8

also believe the golf course may not be sustainable for the city and we should explore other options for the property.”

Over the past few years, according to Tolmachoff, the city has invested just a little more than $10,000 into Desert Mirage, which has been profitable.

Other councilmembers also wondered if approving a half-a-million-dollar contract to GMS to run Glen Lakes made fiscal sense.

In November, more than 500 people signed a petition to save Glen Lakes Golf Course and the group Save Glen Lakes had offered ways to help increase its revenue.

But after years of neglect, city staff decided costs would outweigh the possible revenue.

“The course has been neglected for long; not sure if it is financially feasible for the city to continue to be in the golf business,” Cactus Councilman Ian Hugh said recently.

Glendale hired Don Bessler, PWLF chief capital improvements officer, to review and analyze Glen Lakes. He reported to staff his findings on the course’s condition.

“I went out and played a round at Glen Lakes and I enjoyed the opportu-

nity to meet with staff, and it is obvious that these folks care greatly about the course as a neighborhood amenity and community resource,” Bessler said. “I toured the course and played a round to get a better sense of the conditions and the asset. The course is tired and has suffered from years of decline and deferred maintenance.”

Bessler’s report addressed buildings, course conditions, marketing, adjunct revenue and intangibles when it comes to a future for the golf course to remain.

In October 2018, city staff presented a report saying the buildings needed

major reconstruction and estimated the expense to be anywhere from $5.1 to $7.6 million in cost. Bessler reduced that total, but it was still considered too much strain on the city budget.

He said the $1 million range is a “more realistic committment” to the club house and pro shop.

“Regarding the irrigation system, the presentation identifies a cost opinion range of $800,000 to $1 million. I believe this number is too low by at least double,” he continued.

“A more realistic yet still optimistic number for a complete irrigation sys-

Bessler said, after playing the course in late January, the parking lot, tee boxes, turf grass, greens, fencing and netting and driving range needed work.

He added there were ways to increase revenue at the course, including foot and disc golf and tracer technology. Though they would give a modest revenue increase, it was not enough to keep the city in the golf game.

“Glen Lakes does not have the ability to successfully operate as an enterprise service for the city of Glendale and, as highlighted, the very best case consistent with city councils goal of having golf operate as an enterprise would be for Glen Lakes to generate maximum play,” Bessler said.

“At the lowest projected cost, the average daily green fee of $26.89 – this is not achievable,” he added.

Assistant City Manager Chris Anaradian was quick to answer when asked what would save the golf course.

“If there was a deal presented that got the city off the hook for any funding, sure,” Anaradian said. “But as of February, we have not had an official offer that does that.”

Public input needed on active transportation

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The city of Glendale is inviting residents and other stakeholders to give input for the Glendale Active Transportation Plan at an open house public meeting.

Attendees will be asked to provide input on recommendations identified in the plan.

The open house session will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, February 27, at Glendale Adult Center, 5970 W. Brown Street.

Project overview

Active transportation includes any self-propelled, human-powered mode of transportation that actively engages people. Bicycling and walking are the two primary activities typically associated with “active transportation,” and it also encompasses running, skateboarding, inline skating, and the use of assistive mobility devices (such as wheelchairs).

Glendale’s Active Transportation Plan will create an action plan to guide

decisions and investments on where and how to improve and increase pedestrian and bicycle facilities in the city.

The project has already developed a comprehensive inventory of the existing active transportation network, and the input from the public meeting will contribute to the final plan recommendations.

For more information, visit the Glendale Active Transportation Plan interactive website at glendaleatp.com. To learn more about the public meeting, call 623-930-2940 or email to transportationinfo@glendaleaz.com.

Interpreter assistance or reasonable accommodations for people with disabilities may be made available with a minimum 72-hour notice.

Glendale receives bond rating increase

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

Standard & Poor’s (S&P) Global Ratings has increased the rating for the city of Glendale’s General Obligation Bond (ULTGO) debt to AA – with a stable outlook. Fitch Ratings also reaffirmed its highest rating, AAA, with a stable outlook.

“The independent rating agencies continue to validate that Glendale’s economy is thriving and we have a strong foundation that will allow us to sustain the economic growth,” Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps said. “This ratings increase is a result of the disciplined financial decisions of the city council and our strong financial management policies.”

Phelps added that the city has done the job of working to cut spending and increase the general fund balance.

“This is a great snapshot to validate that we have stayed consistent with our plan, and we will likely get to our $50 million in fund balance sooner because we have done that,” Phelps said. “It shows two things: one, it is a reflection of the financial policy and discipline council has put in place; and two, it is a report card on the skill set of the management team and how we manage them.”

Phelps credited the council with setting aggressive goals for general fund balances and showing fiscal restraint on new spending. He also complimented the city’s budget and finance team, which is led by Budget and Finance Director Vicki Rios, for its commitment to good stewardship of the resources that have been appropriated by the council.

“This is a huge benefit to the city and it is something we should be very proud of the effort we have done,” Phelps said.

“One of the benefits to the increased bond rating is that when we issue debt for major projects on the horizon, it will save us millions of dollars of interest with the higher bond rating.”

Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers added, “Today’s rating increase, along with our previous one, means that Glendale’s general obligation bonds have jumped four ratings higher than they were just a few years ago. This council has been dedicated to fiscal responsibility and economic development and this rating increase is further proof that our city is absolutely heading in the right direction.”

The S&P Ratings report cited the city’s growing tax base and strong overall financial profile as two important factors in the rating.

This is a huge benefit to the city and it is something we should be very proud of the effort we have done.

– Kevin Phelps, Glendale City Manager Highlights include: • Continued restoration of healthy reserve levels and fund balance • Substantial ongoing and planned commercial development in the city • Very diverse taxpayer base • Strong city management • Success in resolving legal disputes • Strong financial management policies and procedures • Well-reasoned and sustainable management practices • Multiple years of operational surpluses • Very strong budgetary flexibility • Strong institutional framework Ratings agencies, such as Fitch Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s analyze financial data and benchmark performance against other cities.

“We take our stewardship of the public’s funds seriously and this bond rating increase will result in real financial saving to the taxpayers,” Rios said. “The council has set clear policies that are strategically focused on keeping Glendale financially sustainable and the rating increase is an independent third-par-

ty verification that we are accomplishing that goal.”

The city received two bond upgrades within the past three years from Moody’s Investors Service. In January 2016, general obligation bonds were upgraded from A3 to A2 and in April 2017, general obligation bonds were again upgraded from A2 to A1. Prior to the latest bond increase, the city also received a threenotch upgrade in March 2016 from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services from BBB to A+.

Phelps added that the rating increase was not based on short term, but on the long-term goals from council and staff.

“The bond rating agencies, while they look at current conditions, they also look at trends and if over the past few years we had not worked on our fund balance and just dumped money into it, it would not have raised the rating,” Phelps said.

“This is more because of the long-term goals and the fact that we have stuck with them and continued to do what we have planned.”

The ratings represent independent and objective observations that Glendale’s finances are being managed well.

Sweeney hired as interim assistant manager

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

City Manager Kevin Phelps named Rob Sweeney as the new interim assistant city manager, replacing Tom Duensing, who left in January.

“I am very interested in the local community and local government, and my background opened up the opportunity,” Sweeney said. “I grew up in Glendale and went to Washington High School and am proud to come back to the public sector and join an amazing team here.”

Sweeney will serve Glendale’s second assistant city manager, Chris Anaradian.

“I’m excited to have Rob join the team because he brings almost three decades of public sector executive leadership experience and a high level of expertise in finance and information technology,” Phelps said. “It is budget season for us, so we’re fortunate that he is here at the exact time we’re conducting meetings to plan for the next fiscal year.”

Sweeney will lead and provide strategic direction for five major city depart-

“Glendale is on a great path and I have an opportunity to continue to move the city forward in areas I really enjoy, such as managing technology, overseeing financial matters and getting involved in the community,” Sweeney said.

Sweeney spent 28 years working for the city of Phoenix, where he held various leadership positions, including assistant finance director and assistant chief information officer. He earned a master’s degree in business administration from ASU and a bachelor’s degree in business administration and finance from NAU. He is an associate with Interim Public Management, a firm that places executives in positions where there are short- or long-term areas to deal with speRob Sweeney has been named interim assistant city cific issues. manager of Glendale.

models and plans for the future and help the city not lose sight of the vision they have set forth,” Sweeney said. “I know Phelps has some ideas for some changes and improvements for the organization, and I am a fresh set of eyes and I will observe and keep an open mind on improvements.”

Sweeney said he is focused on the 2019-2020 fiscal year budget process, and looks forward to working with the organization.

“The staff here is amazing and those people that do the everyday work are doing a great job in serving the citizens,” Sweeney said. “They are a great team here and are very passionate about working for this city.”

Coming from Phoenix to Glendale, Sweeney said there are a lot of similarities that will help him.

“Don’t know if you can compare in size or budget, but the staff here is as dedicated as they were in Phoenix,” Sweeney said. “When it comes to services and passion, the employees here are just as dedicated as they were in Phoenix, and I am excited to be part of this team.”

megawatts of new solar generation to its arsenal by 2025. APS plans to store clean energy to power residents’ homes during peak usage hours, which are between 3 and 8 p.m.

“When people come home from work, that’s when they want the electricity and they need the energy. So you need a system that actually stores the energy, and I think this is one step towards that goal,” said Lesko, who noted an interest in energy issues and commended APS’ diverse energy portfolio.

Despite her enthusiasm, Lesko’s visit wasn’t the main reason so many people had gathered in front of the Buckeye facility. U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry, arriving in the midst of the pouring rain, also toured the facility and spoke to those present about the importance of steps like the one APS is taking.

Perry called it “a great example of an all-of-the-above energy policy, which this country is striving toward,” and suggested, “the holy grail of this whole renewable energy quest is in battery storage.”

“You all are clearly leaders in the clean energy side of the equation, if you will,” said Perry, a former Texas governor. “This is really an amazing

moment in American history when it comes to American energy.”

Despite goals toward increasing clean energy and reducing emissions, he discussed an array of energy sources – citing solar, wind, nuclear, hydropower, oil and gas throughout his speech – and suggested having diverse energy sources is important.

“The point is all of these energy sources are part of the future of this country,” he said, shortly before boasting about America’s closing gap toward energy independence.

Scott Bordenkircher, APS’ director of technology innovation, gave The Glendale Star a tour a day before Perry’s and Lesko’s visit – just hours after APS made the announcement.

According to Bordenkircher, the Festival Ranch battery was “one of (APS’) first pure energy storage sites.” Through a project started several years ago, APS harvests energy captured by solar panels on residential rooftops in batteries for later use – albeit in a smaller scale to what APS plans to launch over the next several years.

“Think of this kind of as our first test site in how that would work, what the dynamics would be, how it would actually benefit customers, what the economics would look like, what was the cost going to be versus the value of the energy, those types of things,” Bordenkircher explained.

APS’ efforts, announced February 21, include the upping of its clean energy capabilities by retrofitting existing solar power plants with battery storage, in addition to building new solar storage plants. The company also plans to power residents’ homes with clean energy harvested from the sun with batteries during peak usage hours.

“APS is fifth in the nation from the standpoint of solar production. Arizona, the state, is second in the nation in terms of solar production,” Bordenkircher explained.

“The problem with those renewable sources has always been that they aren’t produced during the daytime hours,” he continued. “Folks are at work, they’re not using as much energy, so we don’t have that peak demand, as we call it, during the daytime hours. So a lot of that solar goes frankly unused, untapped.”

February 28, 2019

Energy storage is the solution, according to Bordenkircher.

“What these projects allow us to do is crank all that wonderful energy up and load it into batteries or basically store it in energy storage systems, and then be able to dispatch that power in the evenings when we have our peaks and folks are coming home, turning on their air conditioners, starting up their stoves to cook dinner; that’s when we need that energy,” he said.

The first aspect is the addition of 200 megawatts of battery storage systems to existing solar power plants.

So, APS partnered with Invenergy to install six new battery systems – at Desert Star, Foothills, Gila Bend, Hyder and Paloma/Cotton Center in Maricopa County; and Foothills in Yuma County – by mid-2020. Those six upgrades will total a capacity of 141 megawatts.

A bit further down the line, APS plans to upgrade the Red Rock facility in Pinal County and the Chino Valley facility in Yavapai County by 2021. A partner has not yet been determined for those installations, though that storage will total a 59-megawatt capacity.

“Obviously those sites had been producing solar energy for our customers for the past couple years here, but now being able to put storage at those locations again gives us an ability to store that energy during the day, use it at night when we really need it, and so that really unlocks the power of those plants,” Bordenkircher said.

APS isn’t exclusively upgrading its older facilities. New ones will be built, too – and with storage capabilities already included.

The company will build a combination of solar storage and standalone battery storage facilities that total a 500-megawatt capacity by 2025.

As a start, APS is planning its first 100-megawatt solar-storage plant, which is expected to be in service by 2021. APS will own its planned new solar storage plants through requests for proposals. APS expects to issue a request for proposals for the first plant this summer. Locations have not yet been determined, but Bordenkircher said engineers are working on examining sites. Factors, he noted, are proximity to customers, as well as surrounding land and infrastructure.

Glendale resident Vincent Zdunxzyk, 20, was arrested February 15, after he shot a man during a gun deal gone bad.

Officers were called after reports of a shooting outside an apartment complex near Rose Lane and 64th Drive, and when officers arrived they found a man with a gunshot wound in the driver’s seat of the van. The driver, who was not identified, was taken to the hospital where he later died, Glendale police said.

According to witnesses, they saw a man get into a fight with the driver of the van at a separate location, and as the van drove away the man shot at the vehicle several times. The van traveled down the street a bit before crashing into the front yard of a home.

Witnesses also told officers they saw Zdunxzyk run into the nearby apartment complex. Two others exited the van and ran away. Witnesses also told officers that two unidentified suspects from the van threw a backpack into a backyard.

Both suspects from the van were later found a mile south from the shooting location and they admitted to being at the scene. Witnesses identified them as the two suspects who left the van.

Police confirmed Zdunxzyk’s story about the location of the gun, which was reported stolen in a Phoenix robbery.

According to police, the two suspects in the van were discovered to be male juveniles. One of them told police he wanted to purchase a gun but did release as a “first-of-its-kind” project that will be one of the largest battery storage systems nationwide, it is expected to begin service beside the APS Redhawk Power Plant in Arlington by 2021.

As of that announcement, APS has more than 1 million solar panels and three grid-scale batteries.

Taking it a step further, when APS’ Solana Generating Station in Gila Bend commenced operation in 2013 it was marked the largest thermal solar-storage plant in the world, according to a press release. One-hundred percent of its power is provided to APS’ customers.

not have enough money, so he decided to steal it.

One of the juveniles said he sat in the passenger seat of the van during the deal. He became scared while holding the gun and handed it back to the driver, who drove away quickly and gunshots were fired, police said.

When the van crashed, the juvenile saw the driver was bleeding and the two boys then heard a car coming toward them. They told officers they thought it was the shooter coming after them and they ran away through backyards. They changed their clothes and ditched the backpack.

During his interview with officers, Zdunxzyk said he knew he was wrong and called his mother, who persuaded him to turn himself in. Zdunxzyk was arrested and charged with second-degree intentional murder in the shooting of a van driver, according to police, and is being held on $500,000 bond.

Today, 50 percent of the energy APS provides is clean. And as Bordenkircher explained, the storage initiative is just the next stop in a continuing path.

“As part of our vision, it’s creating a sustainable energy future for Arizona.

I mean, that really is the vision of our company,” he said.

“And so, our kind of maybe unspecific, unwritten goal is we intend to continue to increase that clean energy mix.

It’s certainly what our customers want, it’s good for our environment, it’s good for our company, and so that’s the direction we’re definitely heading in.”

Affordable Care Act best chance for quality health care

BY REP. CESAR CHAVEZ Legislative District 29

The future of our health care system seems to be hitting the headlines recently. Many Democratic contenders for the presidency are making their announcements to run and, in doing so, have been explaining their position on ways we can fix our health care system.

Their positions have fallen across a diverse spectrum.

You have candidates who are just dipping their toes into the complicated subject, like Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who says, “A lot of options on the table, a lot of good things for us to talk about.”

We also have candidates such as Sen. Kamala Harris, who says of private insurance, “Let’s eliminate all of that.”

If you think our elected officials are confused about the path we should take

to solve our health care, imagine how their constituencies feel.

America’s health care system lives within several silos of complexity.

Never has there been a congressional study in which it dissects the health care system and fixes the issues within, but it builds on top of them. I remember President George W. Bush introducing the Medicare Part D program that allowed seniors to buy separate insurance plans for their medications. I also remember President Barack Obama introducing the Affordable Care Act, which mandated that insurance covers those with pre-existing medical conditions and made it mandatory for individuals to have health coverage. Both of those programs had many details; however, to me those were the largest benefits provided to us from those programs.

That brings me to Medicare for All. This is yet another idea on how to fix our health care system. It would bring all Americans into a single, government-run system. My understanding is it would be the equivalent to our country’s Veteran Affairs system, since (sarcasm forthcoming) that is the beacon of hope for how a health care system should run. It is unfortunate to hear the horror stories that our veterans must endure. A basic internet search of Medicare for All reveals that support or opposition to Medicare for All primarily comes down to whether you are a Republican or a Democrat. Color me shocked.

I don’t know what the correct answer is to our health care system. That’s why we elect leaders to Congress who hire staffers attempting to solve our country’s problems. However, that does not mean I can’t have my opinion, and that opinion is that we should probably stop trying to create the perfect system, because there simply isn’t one. Medicare for All is going to cost trillions of dollars in taxes and would never stand a chance of getting out of a partisan, gridlocked Congress. However, do you know what has already passed Congress? The Affordable Care Act. The Affordable Care Act passed and

has survived dozens of Republican-led votes to repeal it. We all remember when our late Sen. John McCain took to the floor of the Senate with the thumbs-down-heard-round-the-world.

Wouldn’t the best move be to try and improve the working system we have, instead of throwing it out and starting again with a lofty idea that brings barrels of political ramifications? The Affordable Care Act is our best chance to keep the ball rolling up the hill of insuring millions of Americans and providing them quality health care.

The Democratic candidates for president should embrace the Affordable Care Act and provide us solutions to improve upon the current system. Republicans who bash Medicare for All should instead give us solutions to improve the system they for so long have tried to repeal. I know this will require the increasingly rare cooperation between parties, but both parties need to realize this is the only realistic way of improving our health care. It is not about the Democratic agenda, nor is it about the Republican agenda. It is about America’s agenda.

Judge Tolby retires after 65 years of service I am pleased to announce the well-deserved retirement of Judge Quentin Tolby after 65 years of public service. During that time, he has served as an Air Force pilot, councilmember, mayor and justice of the peace.

I first met Quentin when I was a police officer and would appear in his courtroom for variety of cases. It never crossed my mind that someday I would have the privilege of being the justice of the peace in his court. At that time, it was called the Glendale Justice Court, and as the boundaries changed, he chose the new name for the court: “Manistee Justice Court.” I am pleased to share that Quentin has become my mentor and close friend.

If you have not met Quentin in person, let me share that he is an exceptionalRetired Judge Quentin Tolby. ly humble, (Photo courtesy Quentin Tolby) inspirational and Christian man. Quentin asked his sweetheart, Shirley, for her hand in marriage after their first date. She is the only woman he has ever dated. They have been married 64 years. If you have had the chance to have one of Shirley’s brownies, you can understand why they are famous at all the justice courts. I am sure Shirley’s baking talents are only one of the many reasons he asked her to marry him.

As you know, Quentin is a master storyteller who draws his stories from his own life. I have had the pleasure of listening to his stories for hours. Many of them are about the history of the Valley; some have a moral element, but most are simply hilarious. If you ever have an opportunity to visit with him, encourage him to share his stories with you; you will not be disappointed.

My favorite stories are the ones about how things have changed over the years.

He told me a story about an opportunity he had in 1952 to earn some extra money.

“My friend, Ernie, asked me one night if I would like to earn a couple extra dollars, and I said sure. He did not tell me what we would be doing. After work,

LESSONS FROM THE BENCH Judge Donald Watts Glendale Star Contributing Writer

he picked me up and I found out that the job he had was as a bouncer. I was just a 17-year-old farm boy and very naïve. We drove to The Willow Breeze Ballroom around 27th Avenue and McDowell. Early in the evening, he gave me some advice. He said we don’t want to do anything for a while because you do not want to fight a sober man. The drill was to break up all the fights and handcuff the drunks to the light pole in the parking lot.

Every hour or so, Phoenix Police Department would pick up all who were handcuffed to the poles and take them down to the station, and the next morning turn them loose; no paperwork.”

Things sure have changed over the years, and in this case I think they have changed for the better.

All of us have read Quentin’s articles over the years. He estimates he has written more than 1,000 articles (personally, I think it is more than that). Quentin told me this is quite an accomplishment for someone who flunked out of high school English. Quentin and I are excited to tell you we will continue writing articles for the newspaper. One week will be inspiring stories from Quentin and the next week will be Lessons from the Bench from me.

In 1954 he became a jet fighter pilot for the Air Force. In 1976 he was elected to Glendale City Council, and in 1992 he became the mayor for the city of Glendale. In 1993 he was appointed as a justice of the peace. His first retirement was in 2006 as the justice of the peace. After retirement, he decided he wanted to continue working, so he became the administrator pro-tem for the justice courts and remained in that position until 2019.

Between you and me, I would not be surprised if he did not start working on his third retirement any day now.

Lesson from the bench: 10 years ago, Quentin said, “At 77, I am asked quite often, ‘When are you going to retire?’ I made a vow with our Lord that if I lived through my cancer I would never waste any of the time or talent he gave me, and so far I have not run out of time, but

READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Don’t hoodwink the public Editor: Legislative District 1 Rep. Noel Campbell’s recent opinion in the Arizona Republic on his gas tax-proposed legislation about deteriorating roads and highways goes a long way in answering his question – “Why?” – and justifies his opinion by stating, “That is why I recently introduced legislation to restore funding for critical statewide transportation needs by ensuring that everyone is paying for the roads they use.”

He goes further in his justification by stating, “This legislation is part of my ongoing efforts to have an honest dialogue with our taxpayers about our obligations and making sure we are meeting them. This proposal takes an honest look at our needs and tries to address the problem.”

Maybe he did have that so-called honest dialogue with District 1 constituents, although I seriously doubt that even happened, much less with statewide taxpayers. Maybe with cronies who will profit from his dialogue.

Again, concern for taxpayers who didn’t have a clue about raising the gas tax until he proposed his legislation. I don’t dispute that our roads need fixing, but don’t hoodwink the public with statements about dialogue with taxpayers until you really have it. Not the cronies, but the taxpayers who will have to foot the bill.

Occupational licensing is hypocritical

not seek these regulations in order to protect consumers from evil hair blow dryers, but rather to protect their fellow cosmetologists from competition.

Where are the courageous legislators who should be counted on to stop this nonsense? There have been bills in the last two legislative sessions that have died. Do we have a conservative, free-enterprise Legislature that believes in letting people work? Nonsense. We have legislators without backbones who cave in to special interest groups like cosmetologists.

In the February 18 Arizona Republic, we have an example of the hypocrisy that helps maintain this insane regulatory environment. The article told about a man in Tucson who was giving free haircuts to veterans who ran afoul of the government regulators.

Gov. Doug Ducey even cited him as an example of over-regulation and suggested the regulators back off.

But, in that same article, we learn the man has had a religious conversion.

Since he has apparently gone to the trouble of spending the time and money to get his license, he now “sees” the need for government regulation.

Amazing.

How many more examples of this foolishness and hypocrisy do we need before we end this Gestapo regulation that prevents poor people from using their skills to earn a living and prevents volunteers from helping others in need?

People’s lives differ throughout the decades

BY ALEXIS HILL

Apollo High School Journalism Student

Ever wonder why people of an older age have a harder time relating to topics of our generation that’s still growing up and going through high school? The difference in age and how people grew up is oddly crucial to how they compare and, more importantly, contrast to other generations. Each generation lived and experienced very different lives.

Every student at Apollo is a part of Generation Z, otherwise known as The Founders, iGen, Homeland Generation, Posts, Plurals and the Regeneration. This generation includes people born from 1998 all the way until 2010.

“We did have money up until the bankruptcy in 2006 and then my dad lost his job. He got it back, but we weren’t making as much money. My childhood was good overall; my parents gave me every-

Each generation has lived a very different life from others. (Photo courtesy Alexis Hill)

thing I wanted. I got toys, video games, but after my brother was born it was a

little harder,” junior Tristan Hook said.

“One thing we did that I knew we lived in the hood was we didn’t use the heat that we had, but it cost too much money.

And what we did was, we would turn on the oven on to cook food, and then we would leave the door open to supply heat to the house. It wasn’t bad; I had what I needed, but being a minority I saw the darker side of life.”

In contrast, Generation X includes most of our parents, or people born between the years 1965 and 1980, and they didn’t grow up on the technology we did.

In fact, we are the first generation to live life and not remember a time without Internet and smartphones.

“A major characteristic of my childhood was coming home after school to a house where neither parent were home.

They both worked. I believe that Generation X would be the first generation to experience that. There’s a term called ‘latch-key kids,’ so in other words, they come home with a key, let themselves into the house, and the kids are on their own,” the parent of student Aaron Ludwig said.

“Me and my friends would run around the neighborhoods, ride bikes, play outside, play guns, play war, play some sports and swim a lot. Since we were good kids who didn’t get into trouble, we had no curfew.”

Going further back in time, the Baby Boomers, also known as the Rock ‘N

Roll Generation, or Generation Jones, involves those who were born from 1946 to 1964. For example, Gertie Deason, a grandmother of a student, was born in 1950 and lived a very different life than both generations mentioned above.

“I was born in 1950. My childhood was okay; we always went outside and played. I liked to color, paint, swim, and gymnastics was really fun. We weren’t able to sit around and watch TV like kids today,” Deason said.

Education was also significantly different from the 1950s through ’60s. To put it simply, school wasn’t as important for your future as it is now.

“In elementary school, in the first grade, we didn’t really learn a lot. For example, we didn’t learn how to sound out words; we had to memorize them.

If we didn’t memorize them, we would get hit with a yardstick by our teachers. I would cry on my way home from school sometimes and be afraid of my teachers.

I was in fifth grade in Missouri when it was ‘cotton-chopping season,’ and all of us kids would get paid 50 cents a day and cut down cotton instead of learning,” Deason said.

“In high school, it wasn’t that way.

They weren’t like your teachers are today; they weren’t friendly and they didn’t make the extra effort if you didn’t understand the material. I took classes like book keeping and typing on a manual typewriter. I also played the clarinet in high school.”

Someone from the Generation X thoroughly felt otherwise and had a more optimistic, impactful education. Ludwig is still friends with the same people from grade school.

“In elementary school, my buddies and I would ride our bikes to school together and people would say, ‘There’s the Ludwig and the Tagalongs.’ In grade school, me and my friends were also the ‘smart kids’ and got passes to go to the library when we finished our work, and read war books and even made a board game,” Ludwig said.

“High school became more about sports after school; we were the kind of guys that we would hang out and watch each other compete. We would pick up basketball games at night at local parks.

February 28, 2019

We didn’t party, but we would (cruise), which was a big group of friends get into one or two cars and go drive around where other people were cruising. We would drive up and down Central Avenue and around and around Metro Center.”

It is somewhat interesting when someone of our generation was interviewed; his answer was focused more on the experience of school and not the curricular.

Deason, Ludwig and Hooks had very contrasting school experiences.

“Elementary school was cool. It was cool until I stopped being naive and started realizing what was going on around me. Some people who even go here now bullied me in elementary school; I wasn’t really affected, except for a couple times, but as I grew up, I was like, ‘You know what? It doesn’t mean anything,’” Hooks said.

“High School is whatever. I am active and I try to put myself out there, but I really am just going with the flow. It’s kind of gotten to a point where so many people know who I am. I’m very modest with my popularity. I don’t really care about that. If I know you, I know you, and if I don’t, then cool, we can be friends.”

The 1900s was a time of a lot of change, war and major historical events.

Deason worked in a Unidynamics factory, mixing explosive chemicals and creating smoke grenades and flares. This is just one thing of many, and Deason goes on to explain all she went through and how it impacted her life.

“When I was in the sixth or seventh grade, I remember President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Everyone went outside, they put the flag at half mast, and everyone went home for the day. I also experienced in school ‘bomb drills,’ where a siren would go off and all of the students would have to go under our desks and the teachers would close the blinds,” Deason said.

“As a kid growing up, me and my family moved around a lot, and in Missouri we owned a restaurant and gas station. I remember a man telling my parents, ‘If you let them black people come in and sit wherever they want, you won’t have any more white business, I’ll see to it.’

So, we had to make a separate door for them, but we still let them sit wherever they want.”

Ludwig also was alive in the late 1900s, but lived through a major significant event later on in American history – the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.

“I remember very clearly I was driving on my way to work and I was listening

The Glendale Star to the radio. The DJ said it seemed like there was a fire raging at the World Trade Center. When I got to work, we turned on a TV and saw the footage of the first plane crashing into the first of the Twin Towers, and we watched live the second plane crash into the second tower. Our eyes were glued to the TV all day as we watched the other attacks,” Ludwig said.

“This affected me deeply. It felt like the country and all of its people, including me, were immediately at war. It felt like every man, woman and child needed to fight in the war. It felt like work, leisure activities and hobbies were all a waste of time because we had bigger things to worry about.”

Generation Z was lucky enough to not live such tragedies of war or extreme economic issues. We have always lived in a country of (mostly) stability, but how has that affected our lives?

“Our generation is very accepting of different communities such as blacks, gays, bisexuals and more, so we aren’t the worst generation out there. I feel like our generation is free of problems for right now, because we didn’t have to deal with what our grandparents dealt with, we didn’t have to deal with war, and we didn’t have to deal with poverty, so we have nothing that humbles us. I feel like we’re so ignorant, naive and so materialistic as a generation, and we don’t realize that when people tell us that, they don’t see the other side; they just see it as bad-mouthing,” Hooks said.

As it can be seen, each generation has lived a very different life from the others. Past, present and future all affect one another, and this goes to show perspective is everything.

Technology is continuously changing, but one thing that never changes throughout the decades is diversity, perspectives and unity within it all. All that one can do is hope for the best with the incoming generations, and here is a prediction from the most recent generation, Generation X. “To be honest, I don’t know how they will turn out, because there’s people like us, who know what it takes, and it all depends on people who have good parents and who know what it’s like to be a leading role in a child’s life. And then you have kids who don’t have parents; sometimes the kids know what they’re supposed to do. They take that ‘Oh, I don’t have a dad, so I’m going to be a good dad’ mentality off the bat. Then you have those that aren’t fortunate enough to think like that. I can hope they’re going to be better than us and more knowledgeable of everything around them,” Hooks said.

Pastor Delph: Discovering the two lives we live Did you know there are two lives we live this side of heaven? Bernard Malamud, in his book “The Natural,” clarifies these two lives. The first is the life we learn from. The second life is the life we live after that.

We learn from our mistakes when we investigate why we made those mistakes, then change our behavior. That leads to the second life of living without making the mistakes again, which is a much better life. We know we will make other mistakes, but at least we are not suffering from making our prior mistakes again. Brittany Burgunder captures this concept perfectly.

She said, “I don’t have the perfect roadmap drawn out, but I do know which roads I’ll never drive down again.”

Great losses should be great lessons.

Unfortunately, many, if not most, peo-

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Church @ Community

ple keep living the first life, over and over like a skipping record, never getting to the second life. The second life is what everyone longs for but seldom arrives at. All of history shows that humans and countries never learn from history.

They just say, “Well, they just didn’t do it right. I do it right.”

The tragedy about history, personally and globally, is that while we may learn it, we never learn it.

I want that second life. Believe me, there are many people who have

learned from their mistakes, change and get better. Like an elevator, they step in, step up to a higher floor and step out to an abundant life that limits abundant strife. Every great mistake comes with an opportunity to learn, assuming we are alive.

Let me illustrate. Years ago, I did quite a bit of private flying. My high school friend for life, Bob Loeb, and I bought a Piper Comanche. It was a great plane and a great experience. I still have my private pilot license. The one thing I learned about flying was don’t make too many mistakes for obvious reasons.

As a pilot, I read Flying magazine without compromise. I wanted to learn about flying because it matters. The first column I read every month in the magazine was “I Learned about Flying from That” (I.L.A.F.F.T). The article was written by pilots who got them-

selves into big trouble from mistakes they made while flying and lived to tell about their mistakes by the hair of their chinny chin-chin. They learned from the experience. I figured it’s better to be a learner than an ex-learner.

They had their first life of the life they learned from. Now, after that mistake, they were never going to make that mistake again. Now they moved to the life they would live after that. They got an a-ha. I was happy to glean from their experience. That article saved me from making the same mistake they did many a time.

We can glean from what happens due to an aviation accident. The first thing the FAA does is investigate the crash.

It matters. It matters for us, too. When calamity happens, take the time to investigate or you will repeat your history again. What does the FAA investigate?

They investigate “why” the accident happened. The “what” has already happened; the lesson is discovered in the “why the what.” After the investigation, they correct, inform, train and communicate the cause of the problem so others won’t do the same.

Most (including me) don’t take the time or initiative to investigate “why the what.” Here’s a lesson for us. When calamity happens, take the time to investigate. Otherwise, we will just repeat history again. We will learn the lesson but not apply the lesson in future decisions. If we learn and apply, the outcome will be drastically different.

Did you know the Bible has something to say about this? “Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh. Keep me from stupid sins, from thinking I can take over your work.” Psalm 19:13.

God will clean our slate, if we can get past presumption or stupid sins.

God doesn’t say we’re stupid. God says that’s stupid.

It’s like taking an elevator upward.

Step in, step up and step out into your second life.

‘Amaluna’ allows gymnast a second chance

BY DARRELL JACKSON

Cirque du Soleil cast members perform stunts while showcasing the love story of Amaluna.

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Shae Zamardi was a successful gymnast who earned a bachelor’s degree from Louisiana State University with a degree in sports marketing and business. However, she wanted more.

“I had been a gymnast my entire life and I went to college for four years,” she said. “After college, I got a job in the real world when I realized I missed swinging on a bar. I had a friend who was in Cirque du Soleil. I tried out and I was hired.”

Now she’s a part of “Amaluna,” which plays a tent outside of State Farm Stadium March 15 to April 14.

“Amaluna” invites the audience to a mysterious island governed by goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon. Their queen, Prospera, directs her daughter’s coming-of-age ceremo-

ny in a rite that honors femininity, renewal, rebirth and balance.

In the wake of a storm caused by

Prospera, a group of young men lands on the island, triggering an epic, emotional story of love between Prospera’s daughter and a brave young suitor.

Zamardi was a competitive gymnast for 16 years, and a part of Team Canada for three years before joining LSU’s gymnastics team.

“I visited LSU with my mom and they offered me the scholarship on my first trip down, and I was hooked,” she said.

During her freshman season, the Tigers finished third at nationals, and then jumped to second in her junior and senior years, just missing the prestigious NCAA championship.

“It was tough,” she said. “We wanted the championship, but I had so much fun in my time at LSU. It was just an amazing time and the sport grew so much while I was there.”

After four years of work, Zamardi graduated and put her gymnastics behind her.

“I had a 9-to-5 desk job when I was told that Cirque du Soleil had an opening,” Zamardi said. “They contacted me and asked me if I was interested.

I started training about a week before my tryout and recorded myself on the bars, and they liked what they saw.”

She joined the team in November 2018 and began working on “Amaluna,” for which she plays an Amazon.

“It is just an amazing show and I have never had more fun than I am right now,” Zamardi said. “I come to work with a smile on my face and, even though it is a lot of hard work, I love my job.”

The name Amaluna is a fusion of the words “ama,” which refers to “mother” in many languages, and “luna,” which means “moon,” a symbol of femininity that evokes the mother-daughter relationship and the idea of goddess and protector of the planet. Amaluna is also the name of the mysterious island where the story unfolds. “‘Amaluna’ is a tribute to the work and voice of women,” Director of Creation Fernand Rainville explained.

“The show is a reflection on balance from a woman’s perspective.”

Director Diane Paulus added, “I didn’t want to build a ‘women’s agenda’ show. I wanted to create a show with women at the center of it, something that had a hidden story that featured women as the heroines.”

When she joined, Zamardi instantly noticed the difference between this and her days as a gymnast.

“I had done gymnastics for 15 years, and after two years in retirement, that part came back to me like riding a bicycle,” Zamardi said. “The hardest part is the story and becoming a character and knowing when I enter the stage I leave Shae and become my amazon character.”

When asked for her favorite part of the show, she had an immediate answer.

“The look on the kids and faces of the families as they watch the show is what it is all about,” she said. “That and kids coming up to me after the show with a look of amazement on their faces, that makes it all worth it.”

Musician has a bit of Glen Campbell in performances

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Managing Editor

Guitarist Jeff Dayton has spent years backing artists like Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Gene Autry and Mac Davis.

Now he’s finding time to pay tribute to his good friend, the late Glen Campbell. Whether it’s his solo show or “Salute to Glen Campbell,” there’s a bit of the country superstar in every gig.

“I can’t perform without telling stories about him,” Dayton said.

Dayton will play a handful of March shows in the Valley, some solo and others “Salute to Glen Campbell.”

“For ‘Salute to Glen Campbell,’ I bring as many of the old guys from Glen Campbell’s band as I can,” he said. “We tell stories. We do the hits.

We talk about how the songs happen, what he was like on the golf course.

There’s a song called ‘Long Slow Train Out of Town.’ That’s a metaphor for him losing his memory.”

Dayton has been playing guitar since he was 9, and he immediately formed his first band, The Emperors. From there, he played local clubs and concerts in

Minnesota, paying his dues and working with musicians who became sidemen for Prince and Bob Dylan.

He moved to the Valley, got his first Nashville song contracts and played in a handful of bands, including the Jeff Dayton Band.

He met Campbell, and it set the stage for his move to Nashville in 2000.

In 2003, Dayton toured the world with Chesney.

“It was really a thrill,” he said. “Kenny has amazing energy. The crowd was pumped. Jeff Dayton will perform around the state this month. (Photo courtesy Jeff Dayton) The energy level was so high in the room. It’ll give you gooseNow he is a music producer, songbumps before you go on stage.

Company opens doors to encourage STEM students

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Axolotl Biologix, a biotechnology leader in regenerative medicine, shared some of the secrets of its success with Glendale Community College’s top STEM students. The Phoenix company welcomed members of GCC’s Biotechnology Club to explain regenerative medicine and how it researches, develops and manufactures regenerative products from human cell and tissue technologies for medical applications.

Axolotl Biologix is one of only two biotechnology companies selected this semester to inspire students majoring in biotechnology, cell/molecular biology, research and pre-med.

“Everyone at Axolotl Biologix loved speaking with these bright students to explain how our work is shaping the future of medicine by focusing on expanding the body’s ability to regenerate,” said Robert Diller, senior director of research and development of

GCC Biotechnology Club members relax after touring the Axolotl Biologix facility in Phoenix.

Axolotl Biologix. “It was inspiring to meet these young people and hopefully spark an idea that will lead them to discover the world’s next great medical technology.”

GCC’s Biotechnology Club conducts independent research, tours biotech facilities, participates in science fairs and competitions, and meets with industry professionals.

“After touring Axolotl Biologix, it stapled the company in our eyes as being one of the greatest facilities we have toured, as it was clean, organized, focused and its leaders were quite humble,” said Christian Topete, president of the GCC Biotechnology Club.

“Axolotl Biologix really resonated with us as a group in that the company’s mission is to help those in need.”

Axolotl Biologix offers regenerative medicine treatment applications with clinical benefits known to stimulate cellular growth and repair of damaged cells and tissues.

In January, the General Services Administration (GSA) added Axolotl Biologix to the Federal Supply Schedule (FSS), to make its products available through the Veterans Administration and Indian Health Services. Government Marketing & Procurement LLC assisted Axolotl Biologix in the process.

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Hello, readers! I know I always say this, but believe me – today is a good one to live here in the Valley, but an even better one to be in Glendale.

To start, this week I’ll dish out some details on a shop that will specialize in sweet treats when it opens – just two more months from now, if all goes well. Beyond that, a Tempe restaurant is expanding to our neck of the woods.

And are you looking for a job? Well, two jobs fairs are coming – one for veterans and one for students to practice mock interviews.

And, as always, feel free to send me additional suggestions in the future, whether they be new businesses, closed businesses, mysterious construction

MARCH 21 - 23

MAY 10 - 11

/GlendaleStar

down the road, or other chamber- or business-centric networking events.

But for now, let’s dig in!

First, a new cookie shop is coming, and that cookie shop gave The Glendale Star the scoop. The Cookie House is coming to 18255 N. 83rd Avenue, Suite 101. An opening date is

APRIL 11 - 12

JUNE 21 - 22

AZBROADWAY.ORG | 623-776-8400 *Murder and a Meal is not produced by Arizona Broadway Theatre

still unconfirmed, though owner Shannon Nevin estimated a late April goal; the space is being built out. Strictly focusing on cookies, as Nevin told The Glendale Star via email, the shop will sell gourmet, custom sugar cookies for any occasion. “Color-your-own” kits will allow kids to color already-designed cookies, too; those will be coated in icing and stenciled, ready for kids to color with edible markers. Finally, Nevin said she wants to eventually also add cookie decorating workshops and other special events. For more information on The Cookie House and its progress, find it on Facebook and Instagram @TheCookiehouseAZ. A web page is still under construction, and Nevin expects that to be up in the next month.

Moving along, you may be familiar with Mijana Grill in Tempe. Regardless, the “Authentic Lebanese at Its Best” eatery is working on a Glendale location, Mijana West, according to a January new accounts report from the city’s tax and license division. I called the Tempe restaurant and learned there is a tentative mid-March opening in the works for Glendale, though I have not yet heard back regarding additional, more specific information; I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, the Tempe one’s menu has a cold mezza section with offerings such as hummus, while the hot mezza section ranges from cheese borek to kibbe. There are also soups, salads, and vegetarian and schwarma platters; grilled food, specialties, seafood, pitas… phew, just check it out for yourself. For more information, visit mijanaonline.com. The new location will be at 5686 W. Bell Road, northeast of Bell Road and 59th

Avenue. The Tempe spot is at 1290 N. Scottsdale Road, northwest of Scottsdale and Curry roads.

Changing focus to a different realm of the business world, Hire G.I. is putting on the Luke AFB Veteran Job Fair. Located at Club 56, 7261-7349 N. Harris Lane, the event is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, March 14, and will be aimed at helping veterans and their spouses find employment. All branches of service are welcome, from active duty to veterans, Department of Defense employees, those in the reserve and, as mentioned, family members.

Face-to-face, onsite interviews; community networking; information about military family benefits; and more will all be featured at the two-hour job fair, according to its Eventbrite page. Attendance is free, though it is recommended that guests dress professionally and bring resumes. Check-in begins at 10 a.m., though doors don’t open until 11 a.m. For more information, visit https://bit.ly/2TWBIaV. Finally, later in the month is the ASU West Campus Carey Collaboration Mock Internship Fair. Also free to attend, this one is for students and is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, March 29. This career and internship fair will provide information about companies that recruit at W.P. Carey, and allow guests to practice 30-second pitches and other career fair skills with mock recruiters. Although attendance is free, guests looking to attend must choose a company and time slot on Eventbrite; each time slot allows 20 students per table. ASU’s West Campus is at 4701 W. Thunderbird Road, UCB 120, south of Thunderbird Road, between 51st and 43rd avenues. For more information on the specifics, or to sign up, visit https://bit.ly/2GPT4CI. That’s all the briefs for this week.
