The West Valley has become a driving force for economic growth in Arizona, and the region is staying in the fast lane with development along five hot business corridors. Its proximity to California ports and strategic connections to Mexico and the CANAMEX Corridor historically have provided the West Valley with the ability to attract companies and workforce talent — but now, those opportunities are boom-

ing as significant freeway development and advanced industry corridors circle the western suburbs. According to Sintra Hoffman, president and CEO of WESTMARC, there is more than 11 million square feet of approved square footage for office, entertainment, health care and retail and other advanced industries along freeway frontage in the West Valley. These key commerce corridors, Hoffman said, highlight diverse and industry-specific uses, such as health care, advanced
business services, information technology, manufacturing, engineering and aerospace, and logistics and supply-chain management. The region serves as a major transportation hub and access point via roughly 200 miles of freeway frontage along the Loops 101, 202 and 303 and Interstates 10 and 17. Rick Buss, economic development director for the city of Peoria, agreed that transportation is a key component to long-

Pendergast’s Jennifer Cruz to serve on Glendale Chamber board BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Glendale Chamber of Commerce has selected Dr. Jennifer Cruz, acting superintendent of the Pendergast District, for its board of directors. The Glendale Chamber is one of the largest business organizations in the West Valley. Its primary focus is to promote a strong local economy. As a board member, Cruz will help set policies, establish goals, provide adequate funding, and other duties to keep the local communities within Glendale thriving. “We have been fortunate to have a wonderful partnership with the Glendale chamber,” Cruz said. “They truly understand the relationship between our schools, communities and educating our future workforce. The team has been supportive of our programs; participated in all aspects of the district; and been a strong advocate for
the Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life conference. I look forward to serving and continuing this meaningful and productive relationship.” Glendale Chamber President and CEO Robert Heidt called Cruz a “tremendous asset.” “The students of today are our future workforce, and having Dr. Cruz at the table with business and community leaders will ensure the voice of education is heard,” Heidt said. “There are many synergies between the business community and education, and together we will continue to build on the importance of education.” In addition to the Glendale Chamber, Cruz also is a member of the city of Phoenix Youth and Education Commission and an alumnus of Leadership West, as well as serving with other community-based organizations.

from 1972 to 1979 as a lawyer.” Finn shared the moment when she was appointed a permanent presiding judge with a mission to help get the court unseized and get new processes established. The Supreme Court seized the Glendale court at that time. “Glendale interviewed me and offered me the position,” Finn said. “That was the day that I retired from Phoenix Municipal Court at 5 p.m. and I was sworn in at 7 p.m. by Glendale City Council. As presiding judge, I’m responsible for the budget, which is over $4 million, (and) for the revenue that’s bought in, to make sure it goes to the right place — any kind of personnel and HR issues and any kind of disciplinary action that may be necessary.” In the Maricopa County Bar Association’s Hall of Fame, Finn felt her greatest accomplishment was establishing and developing a Mental Health Court in Glendale in 2013. “The mental health agency that provided services to the mentally ill did a four-year extract of all the defendants,” Finn said. “From our system to their
system, there was a huge number represented in the mental health care system who lived in a Glendale ZIP code that had the designation of seriously mentally ill. It was the agency that said you just need to start a mental health court and figure out what’s going on.” Until 2013, Finn outlined that the court was unable to adequately address the needs of defendants with mental illnesses, causing her to team with the court services administrator, Kathleen Williams, to establish the court. “We dealt with all aspects of their life, from housing to substance abuse,” Finn said. “If they needed some other way to express themselves like using poetry or art. This was to try to get them on track so that they wouldn’t be in crisis and wouldn’t commit new crimes. That mental health court is still in operation today.” Finn spent the last year in her position navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and working remotely. From March 13, 2020, and June 8, 2020, the courts had to strategize to convert hearings to virtual sessions due to the pandemic, causing challenges in the process.
March 25, 2021
“The court does not lend itself to social distancing,” Finn said. “We couldn’t have too many people in the building at once. My staff had three different schedules before the pandemic. We had to throw all of those schedules out of the window. We couldn’t have as many cases set.” The unexpected emotional hardship that resulted from social distancing caused many to feel socially deprived, including Finn, whose husband of 52 years tested positive for COVID-19. “I miss seeing the people,” she said. “This remote business has been really difficult. When the pandemic started, I sent my husband to our second house in March because he has a number of medical issues, so that was like two and half months that we weren’t together, which was not good.” In May 2020, Finn was diagnosed with shingles and was forced to lead the courtroom virtually. That included protective order hearings, traffic hearings and running mental health court. “I had such an extreme case that my doctor was concerned that I’d be contagious to anyone who hadn’t had chicken
pox,” Finn said. “I was able to convert everything to remote, and I remotely covered a courtroom five days a week from June 2020 to Jan. 15, 2021. Being remote made me realize how much I got up and walked around the court.” With 15,601 licensed attorneys in Arizona, according to ilawyermarketing.com, Finn gave advice to upcoming lawyers and law students. “The most important thing is to graduate from law school and pass the bar,” Finn said. “That’s your ticket to anything. Once you pass that bar, if it really isn’t a good fit for you or you’re not happy, you can move to something else,” Finn said. Finn met a slew of influential people during her courtroom journey. She thought she would retire with Williams. “We started a mental health court together,” Finn said. “We started a homeless court together in 2006. Kathy and I always said we would retire at the same time, and we’re literally a week apart. We had a great team. I haven’t seen them since June 2020, and that’s hard.”

Peoria police arrest Walmart arson suspect
Rodney Wayne Cox Jr., a 34-yearold Buckeye resident, was arrested on charges of arson of an occupied structure, endangerment, and shoplifting in connection with a fire at Walmart, according to Peoria Police Sgt. Brandon Sheffert. Peoria Police and Fire-Medical departments responded to the fire in the pet department at Walmart, 21655 N. Lake Pleasant Parkway, at about 2:20 p.m. March 17. Upon arrival, the building was evacuated and the fire was extinguished. Officers on scene began an investigation and were advised that a similar incident had occurred at a Walmart in Glendale in March 16, Sheffert said. “Officers on scene were checking the area and made contact with a subject who had accidentally locked himself out of his vehicle,” Sheffert said. “While the officers were speaking with the subject, an employee alerted the officers that the male appeared to match photos from the previous incident at the Glendale Walmart. After reviewing video and comparing photos from the Glendale incident, the subject was arrested.” According to Sheffert, Cox arrived at Walmart, spent a few hours in the store, started a fire in the pet department and stole several items on his way out. Sheffert said there were 150 employees and 351 customers in the Peoria
store when the fire was started. When Cox was taken into custody, Glendale police responded and assisted with the investigation. “Rodney was interviewed by detectives from both Peoria and Glendale Police and Rodney admitted to starting the fires in order to cause a distraction for the shoplifting,” Sheffert said. “Estimates of damages caused to the Walmart stores are over several million dollars.” Charges may be added or amended, Sheffert said. “This arrest shows the great teamwork between multiple agencies and our business partners at Walmart. We are extremely grateful for these important partnerships that help keep our communities safe,” said Chief Art Miller.

term economic and social prosperity of the West Valley. “The West Valley is home to the I-10, I-17, 101, 202 and the 303 — connecting residents and businesses efficiently,” he said. “When locating a business to Peoria, we are able to talk about the benefits of the quick and easy access to anywhere in the Valley, as well as key distribution destinations for regional, national and international trade.”

Loop 202 technology corridor
The South Mountain Freeway has long been part of the region’s transportation plans. It was funded in part by Proposition 400, a dedicated sales tax approved by Maricopa County voters in 2004. The state’s largest freeway construction project, which opened in December 2019, adds 22 miles of freeway to the existing Phoenix metro transportation system and connects the East and West valleys, while providing much-needed relief to existing freeway corridors and local streets. The new portion of the 202 also provides improved access to
Tucson and Southern Arizona’s trade opportunities. According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, the $1.7 billion project took more than three years to construct. The new section of Loop 202 branches off the Interstate 10 in West Phoenix, heading south across Van Buren, Buckeye, Baseline and other surface streets all the way to Elliot Road,

March 25, 2021 Phoenix. “The Loop 202 South Mountain Technology Corridor is emerging as an ideal location for high-tech manufacturing and other advanced industries,” Hoffman said. “Phoenix continues to focus business-attraction efforts on acquiring industry that will provide knowledge-intensive, high-value jobs, such as corporate campus users, class A office settings and light industrial parks.” Most commercial development along the 202 corridor is industrial with some retail inventory. Economic development leaders in Phoenix and the West Valley eventually want to see a diverse development mix built along the corridor with a focus on employment opportunities. Much of the land adjacent to the new freeway is zoned for big-box warehouse and distribution businesses. More than 9 million square feet of retail, office and light industrial is planned in the West Valley along Loop 202. The goal is to create a high jobs-generating corridor along the loop, much like the Price Road Corridor in Chandler near the Loop 101, which includes tech giant Intel and other companies. “The new 202 Freeway offers a rare opportunity in a vast new employment corridor,” said Christine Mackay, director, Phoenix Community and Economic Development. “We created the SEE FREEWAYS PAGE 8

South Mountain Technology Corridor as an area of modern business campuses for advanced manufacturing, business services and emerging industries.” Additionally, Phoenix officials said the new Loop 202 freeway has allowed the city to market greenfield areas that previously were not easily accessible. It also has facilitated development opportunities that have attracted more retail and services for area residents. Along the 202 corridor, the city of Phoenix recently landed APEL Extrusions’ U.S. headquarters at 59th Avenue and Lower Buckeye Road. They are building a 350,000-square-foot manufacturing facility that will add more than 300 jobs. In addition, an e-commerce consignment company, TheRealReal, is adding 1,500 jobs to the region. “With the approval of the Laveen Spectrum PUD and continued build out of Laveen Park Place, the Loop 202 South Mountain Technology Corridor has transformed the intersection of 59th Avenue and Baseline Road into Phoenix’s next dominant retail intersection,” said Martin Perez, program manager, advanced manufacturing, for the city of Phoenix.
Loop 303
Although planned commercial uses for Loop 303 focus on industrial, advanced manufacturing, distribution, retail, manufacturing and logistics, the 303 Corridor — specifically in Glendale and Goodyear — is one of the hottest areas for large-scale industrial development. The industrial logistics space in the 303 Corridor in Glendale and Goodyear is expected to grow by more than 200%, from 15 million square feet to 50 million square feet in the next five to six years as the two cities add manufacturing and logistics companies, capitalizing on their location. The most recent and active West Valley development area is along the 34-mile Loop 303. Recent wins for the area include Ball Metal Beverage Container Corp., Red Bull, Arizona Isotopes Corp., Daimler Trucks North America, XPO Logistics (which serves Boeing), SubZero, REI, Dicks Sporting Goods, 83 Marketplace, Prasada and Auto Show.
The Glendale Star The cities of Surprise and Peoria have targeted residential development need-driven uses such as a retail/commercial corridor, health care and technology park employment opportunities. “Most of the land along the Loop 303 is owned by the Arizona State Land Department and is as of yet undeveloped,” Buss said. “Our continued alliance with our regional partners and the Land Department on smart growth strategies remains vital to the region.” The 400-plus acre parcel at Loop 303 and Vistancia Boulevard, called Vistancia Commercial Core, for example, is an “excellent opportunity for commercial and mixed-use development,” he said. “There is also an opportunity to work with our neighboring cities in creating corridors resembling key industries of high-quality, head-ofhousehold jobs.” According to published reports, a joint venture between CRG, the real estate development arm of Chicago-based Clayco, and Phoenix-based Bird Dog Industrial also is planning a 335-acre industrial park that will eventually total 5.5 million square feet of space near Loop 303 in Glendale. Just north of the Clayco project at the Woolf Logistics Center, both Red Bull and Mark Anthony Brewing have developed manufacturing facilities. That site is northeast of where a Canadian REIT bought 108 acres and plans to build a 2.25-million-square-foot industrial park called Sarival Logistics Center. Also coming online is the first phase of the $115 million Park 303 industrial park, which includes 1.2 million square feet of class A industrial space in Glendale, near Loop 303 and Glendale Avenue. The first phase is part of a larger master plan that will include 4.5 million square feet of new industrial space and cost an estimated $430 million. There is no arguing that the Loop 303 freeway has helped bring more jobs to the West Valley, making farther locations more desirable to buyers. “You want to be near a freeway, not just for truck traffic but for the attraction and retention of employees,” said David Krumwiede, executive vice president for Lincoln Property Co., in a November 2020 interview about Park 303.
Loop 101
With developments such as Desert Diamond Casino, the Westgate Entertainment District, Topgolf and a newly refreshed Park West, there are plenty of places to play, eat or shop along the Loop 101 in the West Valley. Kevin Phelps, Glendale city manager, said the Arrowhead Mall shopping corridor and the Sports & Entertainment District, both in Glendale, draw patrons from throughout the entire Phoenix metropolitan area. “The Loop 101 has helped make both of these areas easily accessible and thus successful. The extension of the Loop 202 freeway, which opened in early 2020, now brings visitors to Glendale from the East Valley quickly and easily,” he said. Phelps said Glendale’s Sports & Entertainment District is designed to have everything people would need for a memorable experience. Attending a sporting event or concert and then having dinner in Westgate or a day at Topgolf are great examples of that. The entertainment and employment corridor has been in development for nearly 20 years with the opening of Westgate in 2004. Westgate is home to the Arizona Cardinals NFL and Arizona Coyotes NHL teams, as well as restaurants, retail and entertainment venues. Spring Training also has been a big draw in the area, with Major League Baseball teams all playing along the corridor in Phoenix and Peoria. “Having been there for 20 years now, I’ve seen the difference and the economic growth that we’ve experienced in the West Valley as a result of the Loop 101 being completed, the Loop 303 being completed,” Hoffman said. Additional office employment, retail and entertainment are planned along Loop 101, including a new family entertainment center called Crystal Lagoons Island Resort. “Crystal Lagoons Island Resort is a very exciting upcoming project that will also be a great gathering place, and it is something nobody in Arizona can replicate,” Phelps said. “The Sports & Entertainment District must draw people who live locally and be a destination for those who live in other parts of the Valley or even out of state.” He said doubling the number of ho-

Interstate 10
Because 36% of health care workforce live in the West Valley, a wellplanned medical corridor has been developed along I-10 that stretches from Goodyear to Avondale to Phoenix with major health care facilities and Fortune 500 companies. The area’s growing medical corridor houses Cancer Treatment Centers of America, the Abrazo West Campus, Adelante Healthcare, AKOS Medical Group, Iora Health, Copper Springs Hospital and Integrated Medical Services (IMS). As part of the Goodyear Medical Innovation Corridor, Franklin Pierce University’s expansion will add new health-sciences programs and grow its existing doctoral program in physical therapy. FPU also is launching a hybrid online/in-person master’s degree program for physician assistants in August 2022. I-10, which is one of only three transcontinental routes connecting both the East and West coasts of the U.S. providing access to international ports of entry, runs right through the West Valley. Because it connects to other freeways, development along the interstate has been a key to the strategic growth of the region. According to Lisa Lantz, Avondale’s economic development analyst, there are more than 3 million square feet of industrial product under construction within the Fairway 10 project fronting the freeway corridor in Avondale. The 720,000-square-foot project is adjacent to the new Fairway Drive Exit that opened in January and is anticipated to be completed in summer. Additionally, there is speculation that Samsung is eyeing a 1,100-acre site in Goodyear just off the I-10 that the city recently designated a foreign trade zone for a $17 billion semiconSEE FREEWAYS PAGE 9

ductor plant. The Wall Street Journal reported that the proposed chipmaking plant could create almost 2,000 jobs. Other planned uses for the I-10 corridor include retail, technology and industrial development. “Pasternack and Associates continues construction of their 142-acre, 1 million-square-foot industrial park at I-10 and 83rd Avenue,” Perez said, adding that notable developments along Loop 101 include the Aldea Centre at Bethany Home Road and the Algodon Center at Thomas Road. In Buckeye, investments along I-10 and State Route 85 include new businesses, such as Five Below, Parker Fasteners and Arizona Public Service. LGE Design Build also is constructing an 862,000-square-foot speculative industrial building at I-10 and Miller Road, and Boulders Realty Advisors Commercial Real Estate will be constructing 260,000-square-foot flex industrial park at I-10 and Verrado Way. “Access to these transportation systems are important factors for businesses locating in Buckeye, as it connects them to their customers and suppliers, specifically those in Southern California and the Western U.S.,” said Annie DeChance, communications manager for the city of Buckeye.
Interstate 17
The I-17 corridor is another main trade connector for Arizona, linking the Phoenix metro area to commerce in northern Arizona and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. In the West Valley, this economic corridor is home to a number of finance and insurance employers. That
may be because 32% of those industry employees in Maricopa County live in the West Valley. Advanced business services in the area include USAA, Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Farmers Insurance, as well as Karsten Manufacturing and Wells Fargo. Grand Canyon University and several other private colleges and public universities also are part of the I-17 corridor. Both Arizona State and Northern Arizona universities are easily accessible from the freeway.

ment, or NAFTA, and has been designated as such a parallel route, spanning the Western U.S. between Mexico and Canada through Arizona, Nevada, Utah, Idaho and Montana. The high-capacity route is proposed to include an upgraded highway but could be paired with rail and other major infrastructure components — such as energy and telecommunications. Development of the new north-south trade corridor through Arizona and Nevada could supplement the existing system and relieve freight congestion
on Interstate 5, one of only two (including I-15) continuous north-south Mexico-to-Canada interstate routes west of Texas, according to ADOT. “Transformational growth is happening in the West Valley because there is room to grow with plenty of land, new jobs being created all the time, great infrastructure and quality affordable housing,” Phelps said. “It is also a model of cooperation between West Valley cities and groups like the Maricopa Association of Governments and WESTMARC.”
Future growth
“We are seeing tremendous growth because of the available workforce, quality of life, and availability of developable land in the West Valley,” DeChance said. “As other areas of the Valley see less and less developable land or are restricted by state land, the West Valley continues to be where people go to develop.” The West Valley is well positioned for economic opportunities along improved transportation corridors such as State Route 85 and State Route 30. Planned uses for these freeway corridors will include industrial and aerospace and defense. In addition to connecting the region, economic development leaders also point to the CANAMEX corridor in the West Valley as an exciting opportunity to facilitate global trade opportunities for Arizona. The strategic network connects international markets from Canada to Mexico via Interstate 11 — also known as the CANAMEX Corridor. The corridor was established under the North American Free Trade Agree-

Watching a ruthless disease steal my father BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
The end of my father’s life is fast approaching, and if I am being completely honest, his last breath will be a blessing. Parkinson’s disease, a ruthless bastard, has robbed him of his body: the ability to walk without falling, to use the bathroom by himself, to get out of bed under his own power. My father’s mind lasted longer, but now dementia has eclipsed virtually everything that made him him. Mostly what’s left now is anger. It has come to be my dad’s defining characteristic, at least when he is not faded into oblivion by morphine. Anyone who tries to help him is met by a fist, a kick, a shove. All we can do is tell ourselves it isn’t him doing the fighting. It’s the disease. One million Americans are living with Parkinson’s. Worldwide, the
number is 10 million. Every year, 60,000 more people are diagnosed with the disease. There is no cure. I am writing this to let you know what’s in store should you ever hear those sickening words. Born in the Bronx in 1945, my father was the middle child of three. His older brother, a pharmacist by trade, was the first to manifest Parkinson’s. My uncle Mel died in May 2016. If my dad was nervous he was next, you never would have known it. He played racquetball like a madman until age 70. When my mother’s health failed, he cared for her 24/7. Their love affair, a marriage that lasted 52 years, ended when my mother passed away two days after Christmas 2017. My father has never taken off his gold wedding band. The tremors became more noticeable a few months later. His decline was slow at first — no more racquet-
SMITH’S OPINION – Las Vegas Sun
ball, no more driving himself to CVS. His walk, strides that once gobbled up ground, dwindled to a plodding shuffle. 2019 felt like a rock rolling downhill. And 2020, a horrible year for so many, was for my father apocalyptic: 52 weeks of handfuls of pills, vivid hallucinations, emotional doldrums and electric fury. My brother and my nephew have been on the front lines for all of it: the vitriol, the wild mood swings, the swinging fists. Care around the clock by home health aides did little except chew up money and present new targets for abuse. Again, as we have told ourselves a few thousand times: This was the disease acting out, not my father. Now he’s in a hospital bed, zoned out on morphine to manage his physical and emotional symptoms. The doctors claim they are trying to “get him stabilized,” whatever that means at this point. Someday soon I will board a Florida-bound plane for perhaps the 10th time in the last year, except this time
the destination is goodbye. Here’s the thing, though: The man who taught me how to ride a bike, dribble a basketball, swing a bat, balance a chemistry equation, change the oil in a car, he’s been gone for a long time now. That’s what diseases like Parkinson’s and dementia do — they don’t kill their victims all at once, they kill by degrees. The person you love disappears day by day, gradually subtracted from your life and the world. Long before they take their final shallow breaths, your heart has been replaced by an empty space where comfort and joy once lived. Hug everyone you love tighter is all I can tell you. Make sure your long-term care insurance is paid up. Make peace with all who need forgiveness. One day soon, they may no longer be able to do more than breathe. By then, the only thing left talking or throwing fists will be some bastard disease. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.

Spilling the tea is bloody ridiculous BY JUDY BLUHM
Glendale Star Columnist
Did you watch the Royal Rumble? It was quite the show. I didn’t want to see the spectacle myself, but the drama has made headlines everywhere until it is impossible to avoid this sad, steaming mess. Of course, the Royal family should not have taken a page out of World Wrestling Entertainment, which has been hosting the Royal Rumble event since 1988. Nothing like a good slugfest, with smashing heads, breaking knees, and then throwing opponents out of the ring until the last man standing is declared the winner. Yep, it is a group-fighting mob scene that is on pay-per-view and one heck of a battle, where wrestlers enter the ring in intervals. Like a big street fight, it is thrilling to watch (if you are a wrestling fan) and hard to predict. But this is wrestling! Royals, why did you need to rumble on television? My very English mother would have been heartbroken to see the public display of anger that Prince Harry (if he is still a prince) spewed about his family, not completely understanding what the purpose was of the entire “tell-all.” Well, I suppose my mother was more aligned with the queen, and that generation kept fairly quiet about family or personal issues. Perhaps it was considered “honor” to not dish in public about your intimate thoughts about your family’s shortcomings. But times have changed. We have social media, we want to “tell our truth,” and we feel empowered to share whatever we feel like sharing! It might be bloody difficult for the family, but the new way is to “say it out loud.” The various opinions on Meghan and
The Glendale Star
Harry run the gambit, from “sorry losers” to “rich ungrateful kids” or “truth tellers who needed to pull the curtain on the racist English press and family.” The fallout from the Oprah interview probably won’t end anytime soon, as there are media jobs that will be lost, rifts to heal and maybe even rebuttals to make. When the Church of England makes a statement that contradicts what Harry and Meghan said about getting married three days prior to their very public wedding, you know we have entered the twilight zone. The church has now entered the fray, and this is a road too far for most British folks to even imagine. According to family psychologists, there have been plenty of Americans who have experienced family drama due to the last election. Family gatherings ruined by arguments over politics, heated debates over masks, even divorce has occurred over politics. A whopping 40% of Americans claim that this past year’s presidential election has caused tension and arguments with family members, according to SSRS, a national research firm. But family strife and fights are not new. We have seen the old Jerry Springer shows where dysfunctional families would show up to scream, shout and punch each other on national television — not exactly what we like to think of when we think of families as being the foundation for a happy life. When it comes to our families, let’s not “spill the tea.” And if I want to watch a Royal Rumble, it will be a good old-fashioned wrestling match. Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local Realtor.

Judge explains options to combat elder abuse BY JUDGE GERALD A. WILLIAMS North Valley Justice of the Peace
According to the Arizona Department of Economic Security, allegations of adult abuse are increasing. In fiscal year 2020, there were 5,593 reports of abuse, 5,616 reports of neglect and 6,343 reports of exploitation. As horrible as these numbers are, many more cases are likely unreported. So, what can be done? Arizona has a state law known as the Arizona Adult Protective Services Act (APSA). This law protects adults that are either vulnerable or incapacitated. Under the law, someone is vulnerable if they cannot protect themselves from abuse, neglect or exploitation by others due to a physical or mental impairment. A.R.S. § 46-451(A)(10).
Common examples of exploiting a vulnerable adult are essentially types of stealing. They include unauthorized use of credit or debit cards, theft of personal property, and forgery on deeds and on other legal documents. There are some warning signs of possible abuse. They include a sudden abnormal amount of financial activity (including refinanced mortgages) or sudden changes to vehicle titles or to real estate deeds. If an elderly person becomes secluded from their family and their friends, that could also indicate a potential problem.
The Glendale
tar
The APSA has provisions authorizing vulnerable adults, conservators, personal representatives and interested persons to file a lawsuit. A.R.S. § 46-456(G). If the lawsuit is successful, the prevailing party can recover monetary damages and their attorneys’ fees. Other possibilities include punitive damages, pain and suffering, and severing the abuser’s claim to joint tenancy property. If you want to pursue litigation, you should speak with an elder law attorney prior to doing so. Another option is to report suspected elder abuse, neglect or exploitation to Adult Protective Services. You can do so online at azdes.gov/ reportadultabuse or by calling 1-877-SOS-ADULT (1-877-767-2385). Our elderly friends, parents and
grandparents should hold a treasured place in our lives. At one point, not that long ago, they likely protected us. We have a moral obligation to protect them now. Judge Williams is the justice of the peace for the North Valley Justice Court. His column appears monthly.

Men’s Virility Restored in Clinical Trial; 275% More Blood Flow in 5 Minutes A newly improved version of America’s best-selling male performance enhancer gives 70-year-old men the ability and stamina they enjoyed in their 30’s. America’s best-selling sexual performance enhancer just got a lot better. It’s the latest breakthrough for nitric oxide – the molecule that makes E.D. woes fade and restores virility when it counts the most. Nitric oxide won the Nobel Prize in 1998. It’s why “the little blue pill” works. More than 200,000 studies confirm it’s the key to superior sexual performance. And this new discovery increases nitric oxide availability resulting in even quicker, stronger and longer-lasting performance. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study (the “goldstandard” of research) involved a group of 70-year-oldmen. They didn’t exercise. They didn’t eat healthy. And researchers reported their “nitric oxide availability was almost totally compromised,” resulting in blood flow less than HALF of a man in peak sexual health. But only five minutes after the first dose their blood flow increased 275%, back to levels of a perfectly healthy 31-yearold man! “It’s amazing,” remarks nitric oxide expert Dr. Al Sears. “That’s like giving 70-year-old men the sexual power of 30-year-olds.”
WHY SO MUCH EXCITEMENT? Despite the billions men spend annually on older nitric oxide therapies, there’s one well-known problem with them. They don’t always work. A very distinguished and awarded doctor practicing at a prestigious Massachusetts hospital who has studied Nitric Oxide for over 43 years states a “deficiency of bioactive nitric oxide… leads to impaired endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation.” In plain English, these older products may increase levels of nitric oxide. But that’s only half the battle. If it’s not bioactively available then your body can’t absorb it to produce an erection. Experts simply call it the nitric oxide “glitch.” And until now, there’s never been a solution.
NEXT GENERATION NITRIC OXIDE FORMULA FLYING OFF SHELVES Upon further research, America’s No. 1 men’s health expert Dr. Al Sears discovered certain nutrients fix this “glitch” resulting in 275% better blood flow. He’s combined those nutrients with proven nitric oxide boosters in a new formula called Primal Max Red. In clinical trials, 5,000 mg is required for satisfying sexual performance.
Primal Max Red contains a bigger, 9,000 mg per serving dose. It’s become so popular, he’s having trouble keeping it in stock. Dr. Sears is the author of more than 500 scientific papers. Thousands of people listened to him speak at the recent Palm Beach Health & Wellness Festival featuring Dr. Oz. NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath recently visited his clinic, the Sears Institute for AntiAging Medicine. Primal Max Red has only been available for a few months — but everyone who takes it reports a big difference. “I have the energy to have sex three times in one day, WOW! That has not happened in years. Oh, by the way I am 62,” says Jonathan K. from Birmingham, AL.
HOW IT WORKS Loss of erection power starts with your blood vessels. Specifically, the inside layer called the endothelium where nitric oxide is made. The problem is various factors THICKEN your blood vessels as you age. This blocks availability causing the nitric oxide “glitch.” The result is difficulty in getting and sustaining a healthy erection. How bad is the problem? Researcher shows the typical 40-year-old man absorbs 50% less nitric oxide. At 50, that drops to 25%. And once you pass 60 just a measly 15% gets through. To make matters worse, nitric oxide levels start declining in your 30’s. And by 70, nitric oxide production is down an alarming 75%. Primal Max Red is the first formula to tackle both problems. Combining powerful nitric oxide boosters and a proven delivery mechanism that defeats the nitric oxide “glitch” resulting in 275% better blood flow. There’s not enough space here to fully explain how it works, so Dr. Sears will send anyone who orders Primal Max Red a free special report that explains everything.
MORE CLINICAL RESULTS Nutrients in Primal Max Red have logged impressive results. In a Journal of Applied Physiology study, one resulted in a 30 times MORE nitric oxide. And these increased levels lasted up to 12 hours. “I measured my nitric oxide levels, you can buy a test kit from Amazon,” reports 48-year-old Jeff O. “Monday night I showed depleted.”
A new discovery that increases nitric oxide availability was recently proven in a clinical trial to boost blood flow 275% Then he used ingredients in Primal Max Red and, “The results were off the charts. I first woke around 3 a.m. on Tuesday very excited. My nitric oxide levels measured at the top end of the range.”
FREE BONUS TESTOSTERONE BOOSTER Every order also gets Dr. Sears testosterone boosting formula Primal Max Black for free. “If you want passionate ‘rip your clothes off’ sex you had in your younger days, you need nitric oxide to get your erection going. And testosterone for energy and drive,” says Dr. Sears. “You get both with Primal Max Red and Primal Max Black.”
HOW TO GET PRIMAL MAX To secure free bottles of Primal Max Black and get the hot, new Primal Max Red formula, buyers should contact the Sears Health Hotline at 1-800-870-2612 within the next 48 hours. “It’s not available in drug stores yet,” says Dr. Sears. “The Hotline allows us to ship directly to the customer.” Dr. Sears feels so strongly about Primal Max, all orders are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee. “Just send me back the bottle and any unused product within 90 days from purchase date, and I’ll send you all your money back,” he says. The Hotline will be open for the next 48 hours. After that, the phone number will be shut down to allow them to restock.

Mountain Ridge track is ready to ‘impose’ BY JORDAN ROGERS
Glendale Star Staff Writer
The Mountain Ridge High School track and field team is entering the 2021 season looking to begin building a winning culture. The program features 140 student-athletes, roughly 90 boys and 50 girls. For the boys’ head coach, Chad Miller, he welcomes having a large group. He wants a deep team and believes it will help in building the program for years to come. “Superstars will come and go,” Miller said. “We want to rely on a healthy base or group of athletes that we have every single year. We’re reloading every year, and we don’t want to have to take any steps back.” Entering his fourth year as the head coach of the boys’ track and field team, Miller said the program as a whole is in a drought. The girls’ team last won the district title in 2017, while it has been over a decade since the boys’ team has won it. That said, Miller likens this year’s team to turning over a new leaf. He said the program has worked extremely hard and is excited to get the season rolling. “These kids respond,” Miller said. “They’re doing all the right things and all the things we ask them to do, and you can’t ask for anything more. Results are results, and those results are going to be a byproduct of just doing the right things. “State titles, district championships, school records, all that stuff will happen if we just keep grinding doing the right things.” Like many other high schools across the country, the team has been through a lot due to the pandemic. There were no scheduled offseason workouts, and getting together via Zoom was a regular occurrence. Miller said the team is
hungry to compete. “They’ve been through a lot, especially when you look at the seniors,” Miller said. “They’ve been through more than most teams. I think more than any other team that I’ve been a part of. The seniors are resilient. They love track, and they love being out here. They just appreciate having a season, and there’s something to be said for that about being around other people that enjoy track and enjoy doing what we’re doing. It makes them really unique.” Despite not being able to plan offseason workouts, senior Austin Clayton said many of the student-athletes took it upon themselves to stay in shape and work out so, when the season began, they would be ready. They will get their first opportunity to prove that on Friday, March 26, when the school will host its annual state qualifier meet. This year’s edition of the meet will feature a smaller group of teams due to the pandemic, but Miller acknowledged that getting to host a state qualifier is a huge opportunity. “It’s great for promoting the program,” Miller said. “It’s fun to be a part of; it’s exciting. Even our athletes that don’t compete in it get to help work it. Everybody’s involved; everybody has a job and a stake in the meet. It’s a showcase for our school, too. We get to show off this wonderful facility. It’s more than just a track meet; it’s a great community experience. It’s a lot of work to host, but it is well worth it.” For Clayton, who runs the 800-meter and mile events, he said it’ll just be good to get back to competing. He believes the individual work each student-athlete put in during the abnormal offseason will be put on display at the meet.
“We’re all just excited to bring a win back to (Mountain) Ridge,” he said. “Also just getting as many people competing as possible; for a lot of our athletes, it’s their season opener. We’re all excited to get a lot of first, second and third places and compete as a team.” Miller believes Clayton, along with a few other talented athletes in the program, will have a real shot at competing for individual state titles this year. Girls’ head coach Kelly Saufley loves the camaraderie the program carries. Regardless of age or ability, the team just wants to see each other succeed. She believes it will be a huge contributor to building that winning culture. “They kind of treat each other like a family,” Saufley said. “There are different groups, but they are like one big family. Especially our older (athletes) who have big track hearts and love track. It trinkles down to the younger (athletes). They bring them in, and they help them and push them. Everybody is just working together toward the positive aspect.” Clayton said he is excited to have a positive environment for the upcoming season. He is looking forward to getting the team excited to compete and “get one with the process itself.” Now in his senior year, Clayton will mentor some of the younger student-athletes, and he welcomes it. Saufley has noticed upperclassmen taking on that mentorship role. Similar

to a seasoned veteran mentoring a talented rookie in professional sports, it can go a long way for development and future success. “Our juniors and seniors are really good mentors. Not only helping (the underclassmen) through all the skills but teaching them how to be positive. Like, even if they had a tough practice, just reminding them how great they did and how they will show improvement in the future.” With the stage set for Mountain Ridge track and field to create that winning culture, Miller will weigh team goals heavily. Winning a district title this season is at the top of the list. “We as coaches will start to put an emphasis on team goals,” Miller said. “I want every athlete to understand our team goal is a district title. We want to win that. We want to set bigger goals down the line, but let’s just start with our district. “Let’s take back our district. It’s our turn to impose ourselves in that conversation and hopefully take a team title.”

“One Type of Bladder Problem You Should Never Ignore”
Bladder Leaking: according to specialist Dr. Stephen Klayman “it’s a tell-tail sign that somethings wrong with your detrusor, a bladder muscle”. Thankfully, his new pill provides a simple fix, drastically reducing accidents, leaks and even diaper use.
A
s researchers, when running new clinical trials, we never know what to expect. Most of the time they are complete failures, forcing us back to the drawing board. But in very rare cases, results far exceed our expectations and these product work better than we could have ever imagined. This is the case with the most recent breakthrough in Urology called Urivarx™, a new bladder control pill which has performed extraordinary in every test. From dramatic reductions in urgency and frequency… dribbling and leaking…nighttime bathroom trips…and even diaper use…the improvements men and women are seeing with this nonprescription pill have been phenomenal. Why so effective? We asked its developers that same question.
STRENGTHENS THE BLADDER MUSCLES & PREVENTS THEM FROM RELEASING
The result? All the worries you have about your overactive bladder can finally be put to rest! And you can enjoy a new level of comfort of confidence that you once had before. And it starts happening in minutes.
IMPRESSIVE CLINICAL RESULTS
The exciting clinical results published on the government clinical website clinicaltrials.gov show that UriVarx™ can strengthen your bladder fast, significantly reducing the urine urgency and leaks. In a new double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study, 142 men and women with bladder control issues were separated into two groups. The first group was given a placebo while the other received UriVarx™. The results were incredible. The participants who received UriVarx™ saw major improvements in leaking, pressure, and the urgency to go − all without the usual side effects seen in prescription drugs! They also reported fewer trips to the bathroom both day and night.
Until now, many within the medical community − including myself − believed it was impossible to strengthen the muscles that control the bladder without drugs, surgery, or exercises. Remarkably, it has now been proven this can be achieved with a tiny a pill. Albeit, a natural one. The secret? A revolutionary discovery that helps the bladder create a tighter seal...while also preventing your bladder from releasing involuntarily. Research shows that as we age, the muscles surrounding the bladder can deteriorate. This is triggered by hormonal changes in the body which results in muscle atrophy, the medical term for muscle shrinking. When these muscles get too small and weak, they cannot seal the bladder shut. That’s why you may leak, dribble, and experience uncontrollable accidents. Worse, because the bladder fails to empty completely, you feel like you need to go all the time! And as old urine just sits there, it can seep into your blood stream, causing painful infections which need multiple rounds of antibiotics to get rid of.
Additionally, at the end of clinical trial and after seeing the results, 84% of the participants taking UriVarx™ said it significantly improved their quality of life. “The clinical findings are incredible, but people still wonder if it will really work” explains lead developer for Urivarx. “It’s normal to be skeptical, but we’ve seen thousands of UriVarx™ users get results exactly like the participants in the study. It’s an amazing product.”
In its most recent clinical trial, scientists discovered a trio of science based compounds that actually strengthen the tiny muscles surrounding the bladder. So effectively that they were shown to decrease adult diaper use by a staggering 400%. Even more surprising, these three compounds also had a rejuvenating effect on the bladder, allowing it to work like it was years younger.
Many UriVarx™ users say their bladders have never been stronger. For the first time in years, they are confident and in complete control. Adult pads and diapers are no longer a big worry. “It’s exciting to hear all of the positive feedback” explains a spokesperson for the company. “Its also helps to gain perspective. These people will share how embarrassed they’ve become over the situation.
“URIVARX TARGETS A FAILING BLADDER IN A WHOLE NEW WAY”
STUDY RESULTS:
The group taking Urivarx saw dramatic improvements. • • • • •
56% Reduction in Urge Incontinence 66% Reduction in Stress Incontinence 61% Reduction in Urgency 33% Reduction in Frequency 46% Reduction in Nighttime Bathroom Trips
EXCITING RESULTS FROM URIVARX USERS
YOUR BLADDER
BEFORE
AFTER
No More Peeing!
“Stopping bladder leaks is like turning off a faucet,” says Dr. Stephen Klayman. “Your ‘faucet’ is this little pipe known as your bladder’s Sphincter Valve. It controls your flow of urine. Strengthening the muscle around it, your detrusor, literally turns off this valve so you can’t leak – exactly what this pill is formulated to do.” How uncomfortable it makes social outings and the interruptions it causes in daily life. They can’t believe the change Urivarx has made. The fear is gone. They are back to feeling in control”
HOW IT WORKS
UriVarx™ is a pill that’s taken just once daily. It does not require a prescription. The active ingredients are patented natural extracts. Research shows that as we get older, the muscles which surround the bladder weaken. This is caused by hormonal changes in the body that causes the muscles to atrophy and weaken. When they become too small and weak, they cannot seal your bladder shut, which causes leaking, accidents, among other incontinence symptoms. It also prevents your bladder from fully emptying, which can result in persistent bacterial infections and UTIs. UriVarx’s™ active ingredient targets the muscles around the bladder, making them stronger. Supporting ingredients in UriVarx™ support kidney function and overall urinary health.
BLADDER PROBLEMS GONE
With daily use, UriVarx™ can restore strong bladder control and help users overcome leakage without the negative side effects or interactions associated with drugs. Leakage sufferers can now put an end to the uncontrollable urges, the embarrassing accidents, and enjoy an entirely new level of comfort and confidence.

Jalapeno Inferno blazes into Park West BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Jalapeno Inferno general manager David Rubin is pleased with the way the restaurant is doing in its new location at Peoria’s Park West. It opened six months ago — right in the height of the pandemic. “This project took two years actually from start to finish,” Rubin said. “When the pandemic hit in the springtime, the builder was freed up a bit to work on the project. It was a lot of starts and stops, and then it accelerated in the spring.” Diners from the Peoria and Glendale areas previously traveled to the Jalapeno Inferno locations in Scottsdale. Now that the Park West restaurant is open, guests are pouring in the door, especially on the weekends. “The original one on Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale roads has been there for over 21 years,” Rubin said. “There’s another one up in DC Ranch in Scottsdale. It’s been there for over six years now. “They’ve been anxiously awaiting this location. They had been seeing the signage way before we opened. People saw us coming. Now we have signage out on Northern Avenue as well.” When guests come through the doors, they are greeted with a light, airy restaurant with a slight breeze coming in through the windows. “We get a lot of comments about the building,” he said. “It’s newish. It’s bright. It’s open. It’s a beautiful store. They did a great job with the design.” The menu is extensive, with appetizers, soups and salads, Southwestern tacos, street tacos, spicy dishes, “super” bowls, fajitas, enchiladas and desserts. One page is devoted to customer favorites, which range from grande burro platter ($14.99) to the signature fundido ($16.99), which Rubin calls the signature dish.
Enchiladas are signature dishes.
“That comes in chicken or steak,” he said. “The family who owns the restaurants are also proud of the green corn tamales.” Chef Terry Craig and his wife, Linda, are the proprietors behind Jalapeno Inferno. Terry’s fajitas ($15.99 to $34.99), which come in a gluten-free marinade, are popular as well. “Everything in Terry’s is an original recipe,” Rubin said. “We make everything from scratch here every day. Our salsa we make almost every single day. The tamales we make from scratch, even though it’s a hard recipe; they’re fantastic. We do catering out of here as well.” Rubin is looking forward to the Arizona Cardinals returning, but he’s happy there are select fans at Spring Training games. To encourage diners to come in, Jalapeno Inferno offers different specials from Sunday to Thursday; half-priced margaritas on Monday; and happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, during which time it offers
Espinaca Con Queso Hatch green chili enchiladas. (Photos by Tim Sealy)
half-priced appetizers and discounted cocktails. “It’s going to be great being only 1 mile from the stadium,” Rubin said. “This whole complex has already picked up. The more people who come in, the better it is for all of us, really. “Wildflower is coming in at the end
of the year, I think. When Maggiore came here, that brought more awareness.”

Pastor: The horse whisperer and the inmates I wrote an article in 2012 in this column about a pastor friend of mine who has impacted the prison at the Arizona State Prison Complex in Florence. He has worked at the Florence prison since 2012. Recently, I phoned him for an update. I will start with my article in 2012. I will finish with the update. Read on. “I want to introduce you to a pastor who recently gave up the church he pastored for 19 years to become the Wild Horse and Burro Supervisor at the Arizona State Prison in Florence. “A few years ago, Pastor Randy Helm of Hope Chapel in Glendale discovered something about himself that took years to find. Randy can do things with wild or abused horses and burros that very few people in the world can do. Put a wild horse right off the range from Nevada in a circular horse pen with him, and in 30 minutes, the horse is well on the way to being saddle broken. “Randy is a horse whisperer. Horses and burros, domestic, abused or wild, trust him. Wanting to become even more proficient with his gift, he became a certified trainer at the Lyons Legacy horse training center in Tennessee. “As a pastor, Randy was familiar

with counseling and helping untamed, abused or hurt people. But he began to see a correlation between healing horses and healing human beings. He discovered he could minister to hurt or fearful people by showing them how to heal and restore abused horses. “He conducted horse clinics at abused women’s homes and women’s ministries in other churches. The women connected with Randy’s gentle way of initiating healing to fearful, abused horses. The women began to understand their issues by observing the horse’s issues. They could see themselves in the abused horses. “I went to one of Randy’s clinics. First, he begins to work with a wild or hurt horse, explaining how it became the way it is to the audience. The horse is resistant, not wanting to be hurt again. Randy calmly talks to

healing wounded and inmates in the process. And the world will be better for it!” Fast forward to March 2021 and my update. Randy’s pioneering ministry in the Florence Prison has proliferated. Today, he has 25 inmates who train the wild horses and burros. Ten more inmates work in the holding area, taking care of the animals. The Department of Correction’s horse and burro facility holds up to 1,500 horses and burros. The highest count of wild horses is 998 on-site. There are 500 wild burros and 200 wild horses on-site. The donkeys come from Arizona. The wild horses come from Nevada, Wyoming and California. After the animals have been tamed and trained, they are sold to trail riding ranches, hunting outfitters and the U.S. Border Patrol. The Border Patrol uses the horses in Washington, Idaho, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. The inmates participating in this program are being transformed. Only 10% to 15% released from prison return to prison. The inmate trainers and workers have “found their place” by SEE DELPH PAGE 21

the horse and shows the horse that he doesn’t want to hurt it. The horse wants to trust but needs to see first if Randy is trustworthy. After a few minutes, Randy earns the horse’s trust, and the horse begins to walk with him. Then, after a short time, Randy was riding on the horse. “Randy discovered something else. Many prison inmates have some of the same issues as wild horses. So, when ‘wild’ inmates learn how to deal with and train the wild horses, they receive understanding about themselves in the process. The inmates learn about anger and abuse control, delayed gratification issues, and a host of other problems. In essence, the inmates doing the training are training themselves. Excellent stuff, huh? “The outcome of all of this is Pastor Randy has accepted a position with the Arizona State Department of Corrections in Florence to be the wild horse and burro supervisor. He has a staff of 25 inmates who will work in the program to do everything from cleaning the stalls to training horses. Randy has moved from pastoring a church to ‘pastoring’ wild and abused horses — even

finding a career in the horse industry. The inmate’s spouses and their families joyously testify of the inmate’s real, tangible and lasting transformation. Takeaway: When you “find your place,” you find your future. The news of what is happening in Florence has reached the world. Randy, his horse Starbuck, and this excellent state program have been reported in USA Today, Reuters, Associated Press, NBC Nightly News, Fox News and Animal Planet. You can look at the documentaries on YouTube. This Department of Corrections program has been reported about in France, England, Australia and Mexico. Randy is speaking in Denmark, Iceland and Australia this year about mustangs, inmates and horse whispering. A few years ago, nine people started Florence Cowboy Church with Randy as the pastor. The church has grown from nine people to 800 people. The presentation is unique; 95% of his speaking is on horseback. Randy conducts services at Country Thunder and Texas Thunder country music concerts
with up to 30,000 attendees. Randy has written a book, “Lessons from Horses,” available on Amazon, at Barnes & Noble and on Kindle. Here’s the takeaway of Randy, the inmates and the former wild horse. When you’re finally saddle broken, find a new herd to be a part of. Otherwise, you will return to your old behavior. And use your horse sense. It leads to stable thinking. For more information on Arizona Cowboy Ministries, contact helmhorsemanship@gmail.com. Ed Delph is Phoenix native who lives in the North Valley.

Girl Scouts: Not what we do but who we are BY CHARLIE UNSWORTH
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
PUZZLE ANSWERS
For 108 years, Girl Scouts has equipped girls like me for a lifetime of leadership. Through Girl Scouts, I’ve learned preparedness, the ability to adapt, and how to think on my feet, all of which were essential over the past year amid COVID-19. But even taking the pandemic out of the equation, I’ve learned skills I never imagined I would have, including first aid and survival camping in the wilderness. As a third-generation Girl Scout and second-generation Gold Award Girl Scout, I can genuinely say that Girl Scouting is not always something you do but something you are. It is where my troop and I, as well as countless other girls, are free to try new things; develop a range of skills; take on leadership roles; and feel comfortable failing, dusting ourselves off and trying again. There aren’t many programs that allow girls to not only participate but take the lead in a range of activities. And I am not just talking about those you’ve heard of before. I am talking about everything the Girl Scouts offers, from kayaking, archery and camping to coding, robot-
first got involved in Girl Scouts in the mid1950s, and my mother, who joined Girl Scouts as and is now a lifetime member, they echoed my emphasis that Girl Scouts not only allowed them to have fun but taught them practical and necessary life skills and lessons. These skills they would then apply as they entered adulthood, began families and excelled in their careers. They also became empowering and confident women, encouraging us to have dreams and aspirations and teaching us the importance of having a plan and learning from failure, as well as standing up for Charlie Unsworth followed in the footsteps of her mother what’s right even when and grandmother to become a Girl Scout. it’s difficult. (Photo courtesy of the Girl Scouts) Not only is my mother ics and financial literacy. Girl Scouts a lifetime member of the Girl Scouts, changes girls’ lives for the better while she also earned her Gold Award like building future female leaders like me me. and my Girl Scout sisters. Gold Award Girl Scouts don’t just When I ask my grandmother, who change the world for the better; we change it for good by doing sustainable good. The Gold Award is earned by girls in grades 9-12, requiring we identify an issue and dedicate a minimum of 80 hours of work to develop and implement a sustainable solution to a local, national or global issue. My mom’s Gold Award focused on helping preschool-aged children learn safety preparedness, including teaching them who to find to help during an emergency. Like my own Gold Award dedicated to creating gardens at my school to support healthier lifestyles, my mother identified a need for members of our
local area and made sustainable, impactful change. I can’t think of another place that allows young women to tackle issues that we are passionate about, partner with members of our communities to ignite change, and collaborate with and learn from adult mentors, but Girl Scouting does. We learn not only to invest in ourselves and our communities but grow our confidence to rise up to unexpected challenges and create solutions. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit our community, my fellow Girl Scout sisters rose up to the challenge of reworking their original planned service projects to be relevant to emerging needs, including sewing masks, collecting food, building hand-washing stations for the Navajo Nation, and donating thank-you gifts and treats to Arizona’s essential workers, once again proving why Girl Scouts have continued to be known for our resiliency and the impact we make in the community for more than a century. Girl Scouts has been around for a long time. Although the organization is always evolving, the symbols that have come to represent it have not. People still associate Girl Scouts with only cookies, sashes, badges and friendship bracelets, but the truth is Girl Scouts are groundbreakers, future leaders and innovators. Through Girl Scouts, I am part of something bigger than just me, my family and school. I am a Girl Scout, and I am changing the world for the better because of it. Charlie Unsworth is a senior at Ironwood High School in Glendale and a Peoria resident. She has been a Girl Scout for 13 years, taking after both her mother and grandmother, and is a member of Troop 60. She is currently applying to colleges and hopes to attend her top choice of Northern Arizona University to double major in history and English.
