State Farm Stadium vaccine site ‘a free-for-all’ BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Joel Coen went for his COVID-19 vaccination at State Farm Stadium on March 24, the day appointments opened to those 16 and older. He thought he would receive his vaccination within an hour, just like his friends and family did at other locations. During his three-hour wait at the staterun location, he saw lines of cars that stretched past the football stadium, Gila River Arena and beyond Tanger Outlets; a bus crash into a car; folks cutting in lines; and unruly behavior that included the theft of Cardinals and ASU signs. “It was horrendous,” Coen said. “Nobody was directing traffic. At one point, I took a couple of photos. A bus was stuck and trying to move, and it hit a car while I was sitting there.
“I thought, ‘What in the world is happening right now?’ It was just pandemonium. I was talking to a friend at the time, and I saw someone steal an ASU sign. It was a freefor-all.” He said he called the Glendale Police Department, and he felt he wasn’t taken seriously. “They said, ‘State Farm will have to figure it out. We don’t have enough resources,’” he recalled. “I said, ‘You guys are going to have some serious problems soon.’” The Glendale Police Department didn’t respond to questions before deadline.

Glendale American School Principal Dr. Amy Troutt hasn’t seen a school year like this one, but it’s not the typical answer. “This may sound weird to say, but it’s been one of the best years yet,” said Troutt, whose school opened to hybrid learning in October. In a hybrid learning model, half of the school’s students attended at a time. Students with last names starting with A-L arrived Monday and Thursday, and those with last names starting with M-Z came Tuesday and Friday. Parents were asked to

send students to school after 7:20 a.m. and to pick them up by 1 p.m. On Monday, March 22, Glendale American School, like many other schools, returned to full in-person learning. “We had the chance to practice with half students,” Troutt added. “It’s gone so smoothly. Before the gate opened, I had more students on campus, which is typical for a first day of school — a third first day of school, that is. “I was out front, just hanging out with the kids, and naturally they’re standing 6 feet apart. They were bright and happy and ready to go. The last year has changed
their world. They get it. They understand the world has changed. Kids are just OK with that. They’re excited and wanting to be here.” When she full in-person learning to her educators, she added, “They just looked at me and said, ‘We got this.’” “It’s been so cool. Our educators are doing good things every day.” The staff’s acceptance is a testament to Troutt’s work ethic, but she noted they make her better. “One of the beautiful things about the last year is I had more time with my clas-

sified staff, maintenance, educational assistance, crossing guards, etc.,” she added. “It’s been really unique. I was able to do some cool things for the schools. We have a kindness tree as our mural. “My vision was I wanted a cool wall that the whole school could be a part of. They need to have a sense of belonging. They drew it into this beautiful tree. Every student and staff member can go to the wall and celebrate kindness. We still have work to do, of course, but we’re bringing the kids and the teachers together.” Students regularly share their feelings on a silver lining wall and, Troutt said, the resounding opinions are they’re happy to have returned to school. “Everybody has the opportunity to find that silver lining,” she added. “We have so many of them. I think our kids have found them, too. They say they really like going to school. “It’s just been a cool opportunity. I understand the pandemic is not an ‘opportunity.’ We can spin that and think of the good things that have come out of it. That’s important.” Since March 22, Troutt has been pleased with the technology utilized in every classroom, saying it’s “part of the norm” and it has “blended very fluidly.” “It’s been great to see how much the teachers have learned and attitudes of, ‘We’re here to support and love our kids from couch to classroom,” she added. Troutt said the staff and students were ready to go through the mitigation process. Troutt described the district as being “blessed,” in the way the mitigation process has fleshed out. As parents reached out to her about the full in-person learning, there was a “very consistent message that was written out. Our parents have been very comfortable. “Even with masks on, just to see the smiles and the eyes light up in every

According to a health department spokesperson, long waits for vaccines at State Farm Stadium are due to a rumor that appointments aren’t required. (Photo courtesy of Joel Coen)
STADIUM FROM PAGE 1
Arizona Department of Health Services public information officer Steve Elliott said March 25 that the influx of people at State Farm Stadium was due to rumors that appointments were not required. “The site was overrun last night with people thinking they could get vaccinated without appointments, apparently responding to an unfounded and widespread rumor,” Elliott said. “Normally a visit takes around 30
minutes, including the required 15-minute wait after vaccination. To protect staff, volunteers and patients from the heat, State Farm is transitioning to overnight operations while we establish an indoor alternative in that area. Last night was anything but normal.” However, Coen’s wife set her appointment for 9 a.m. March 28 and encountered the same problems. “It was the exact same stuff,” Coen said. “She got stuck. They’re still not doing what they need to do to do better.” The Coens did stick it out to receive their vaccinations, their first.

Glendale Fire rescues snake from condo blaze BY ALLISON ENGSTROM Glendale Star Staff Writer
The Glendale Fire Department made a reptilian rescue after responding to a condo fire near 60th and Oregon avenues on March 19. “We know that animals are family, too,” the Glendale Fire Department tweeted. The family escaped unharmed, but Capt. Anthony Valverde noticed a shattered aquarium that burst due to the fire’s heat when the blaze was extinguished. With low visibility, he couldn’t tell what was missing. The crew soon learned the family had a pet corn snake remaining in the house. Valverde located the snake and reunited the pet with the family. “A pet, no matter what it is, is still part of that person’s family, so it was good to know that we were able to go in there and reunite
them with their pet,” Valverde said. The home was a total loss. Companion Pets in Crisis provided the family, who lost everything in the fire, with a new enclosure to house the pet snake. Valverde recommends keeping pets cages or in enclosures near a door so they are close and easy to find in case of an emergency. “If you do have pets inside, do not attempt to go back inside and get them out. Wait for us to do that,” Valverde said.
Glendale firefighters arrived on scene of a condo fire near 60th and Oregon avenues in mid-March. After reporting heavy fire from the bottom floor, firefighters stopped the fire’s progress and kept it from spreading. The family escaped, but the firefighters rescued their pet snake.

Mecum holds record-setting auction in Glendale BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Mecum Auctions, the world’s largest collector car auction company, scored record-high sales at its State Farm Stadium auction from March 18 to March 20. It was the largest that had taken place in the state so far, exceeding $42.3 million in sales. This is Mecum’s third auction in Glendale, with the first having previously set the record for the company’s highest-grossing inaugural event. Of the 829 vehicles being auctioned, 712 were sold. The top-selling car, a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe, sold for $2.7 million. The award-winning car features an original L88 engine, which is highly coveted by automobile lovers. “The success of this auction in only its third year is unprecedented,” said
Mecum Chief Operating Officer Sam Murtaugh. “The success and continued growth would not be possible without the natural synergy that has developed with our partners at State Farm Stadium and the gracious host city of Glendale. Mecum is excited to compound the momentum in Arizona, and we all look forward to 2022 by making it bigger and better than ever.” Other top-selling vehicles included Ferraris from the 20-vehicle Steve Todhunter Collection, which sold for $6.08 million. Additionally, 18 classic vehi-
cles from the Napa Valley Collection were sold for a combined $2.1 million. According to Murtaugh, this event established itself as the third-largest auction on the Mecum.

Glendale targets sustainability through electric vehicle charging BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The city of Glendale is adopting several new sustainability goals as part of the 2040 General Plan. Environmental sustainability is the target of several of these goals, and the city is taking measures to improve its environmental footprint. Since the vote, Glendale has already added 19 electric vehicles to the city fleet and created several charging stations near city hall. Even beyond these acts, the city is hoping to make long-term change through partnerships with SRP, Taylor Morrison, Lennar Corporation and Pulte Homes. The plan is a new community in Glendale designed for environmental sustainability. StoneHaven, located in southwest Glendale, is a master-planned community with the Earth in mind. The homes in the community will feature at least one 240-volt Level 2 charging
outlet in the garage for electric vehicle charging. The feature comes standard with all of more than 1,200 new homes. Additionally, because StoneHaven is part of SRP’s “Energy Star Homes” program, homebuilders are offered incentives to make its communities “electronic vehicle ready.” A homebuilder can receive $300 from SRP for each home that is pre-wired for Level 2 vehicle charging. This incentive applies to all communities that are part of SRP’s service territory. “Glendale is committed to making good on our environmental sustainability goals,” said Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps. “StoneHaven is an example of Glendale leading by policy and partnering with the business community. These partnerships continue to make Glendale the city of choice for new generations of residents.”

Help the Red Cross refuel the blood supply BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The American Red Cross is calling for donors of all blood types, especially those with Type O blood, to race to give blood and help refuel the blood supply. This spring, the Red Cross is teaming up with INDYCAR to urge people to help keep the blood supply on track by donating blood or platelets. Schedule a donation appointment by downloading the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org, calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767) or enabling the Blood Donor Skill on any Alexa Echo device. As a special thank-you, those who come to give blood or platelets before April 15 will automatically be entered to win a VIP trip for four to the 2022 Indianapolis 500. The Red Cross will also automatically enter all who come to give in April for a chance to win one of five $1,000 e-gift cards to a merchant of choice. Additional details are available at RedCrossBlood.org/ Indy500. The need for blood doesn’t take a pit stop. Every day, patients like Ashley Byers rely on lifesaving blood products. In April 2016, Byers experienced a life-threatening pregnancy complication and required 121 units of blood as doctors fought to save her life. “Without blood donations, I would not have survived the medical emergency I experienced after giving birth to my daughter,” Byers said. “As was seen with my situation, a single emergency can cause a massive shortage of blood products. I, along with my family, am truly grateful to all of the blood donors, the American Red Cross and the amazing medical team who saved my life.” The Red Cross is testing blood, platelet and plasma donations for COVID-19 antibodies. The test may indicate if the donor’s immune system has produced antibodies to this coronavirus, regardless of whether they developed symptoms. Testing
may also identify the presence of antibodies developed after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine. Red Cross antibody tests will be helpful to identify individuals who have COVID-19 antibodies and may now help current coronavirus patients in need of convalescent plasma transfusions. Convalescent plasma is a type of blood product collected from COVID-19 survivors who have antibodies that may help patients who are actively fighting the virus. Plasma from whole blood donations that test positive for high levels of COVID-19 antibodies may be used to help COVID-19 patients. Donors can expect to receive the results of their antibody test within two weeks through the Red Cross Blood Donor App or the donor portal at RedCrossBlood.org. The Red Cross is not testing donors to diagnose illness, referred to as a diagnostic test. To protect the health and safety of Red Cross staff and donors, it is important that individuals who do not feel well or believe they may be ill with COVID-19 postpone donation. Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions — including temperature checks, social distancing and face coverings for donors and staff — have been implemented to help protect the health of all those in attendance. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive and are required to wear a face covering or mask while at the drive, in alignment with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention public guidance. Upcoming blood drives include: • 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, April 11, EoS Fitness, 3005 N. Dysart Road, Avondale. • 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, April 15, Civil Air Patrol Glendale, Glendale Municipal Airport, 6575 N. Glen Harbor Boulevard, Gate 15.

Amazon opening fulfillment, delivery center in Glendale BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Amazon is continuing its investment in Arizona by opening two sortation centers — including one in Glendale — to support customer fulfillment and delivery operations. “It is the first facility that we’re opening in the city of Glendale,” said Lisa Guinn, Amazon Operations public relations. “We do have other facilities in the West Valley. Glendale has been a wonderful partner so far.” The Glendale sortation center will be at North Sarival Road and West Glendale Avenue. The other one is located in Tucson at South Alvernon Way and East Corona Road. Construction on both facilities began in early January. “There are a variety of factors that we look at when we choose a new location,” Guinn said. “We looked things like growth in Arizona. It has an outstanding workforce. We’ve had strong support from our partners locally, and we have incredible customers.” Each site will span more than 270,000 square feet and will help with critical package sortation needs, enabling the fast, free shipping. “Every day at Amazon, incredible employees come together to deliver magical experiences for customers,” said Marcus Buford, director, Amazon Operations. “We are excited to break ground on these new sortation centers in Arizona, where more than 25 years of Amazon’s operational expertise, technology advancements and investment in transpor-
tation infrastructure is enabling faster delivery for our community.” Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers is just as excited. “We are honored to welcome yet another global corporation to Glendale’s New Frontier,” Weiers said. “Amazon’s core commitment to excellence is well known, and we are so proud they picked Glendale.

Glendale Vietnam vet awarded $2,500 in sweepstakes BY SARAH DONAHUE Glendale Star Staff Writer
Vietnam veteran and Glendale resident Alfred Taitano woke up on the morning of March 16 to accept his grand prize after winning the Military Star “Your Holiday Bill is on Us Sweepstakes” at the Luke Air Force Base Exchange. A small group of service members and participants gathered for the ceremony as Taitano was presented with the grand prize in the form of an oversized check for a $2,500 Military Star statement balance. Before he received his prize, Taitano said it was an exciting moment and a great surprise. He added that he and his family are “very grateful.” The Army & Air Force Exchange service exclusively awards this “Military Star” card to service members and their families. It allows recipients to build credit responsibly. The line of credit can be used at military exchanges and commissaries regardless of where the military members serve. “It’s my first experience being a grand prize winner,” he said with a smile. “Although it’s a small amount,” Taitano said he knows how to “stretch that.” Taitano’s credit card bill was less than the minimum grand-prize amount, so he was awarded this $2,500 statement credit, which, he said, will be used to pay off his car payment and purchase

Glendale police seek suspect in fatal hit-and-run BY CLAIRE SPINNER
Glendale Star Staff Writer
Glendale detectives are seeking information about a hit-and-run that killed one person and injured another east of 71st and Glendale avenues on March 27. The two men were working to remove traffic barricades from an earlier crash when they were hit. Both men were transported to a local hospital for treatment, where 37-yearold Gustav Danielson, an Avondale
resident, was pronounced dead. The second victim, a 35-year-old from Gilbert, is in stable condition. The hit-and-run vehicle is believed to be a silver Dodge Ram, from the years 2013-17. The truck has damage to the front-end driver’s side and is missing the driver’s side mirror due to the collision. Anyone with information is asked to contact Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS or the Glendale Police Department at 623-930-3000.
Exchange landed a grand-prize winner. Retired Air Force Master Sgt. Douglas Mills took home a $2,500 statement credit in last year’s sweepstakes. Taitano has 17 grandkids and said he stays young by being athletic, as he still plays softball and is a referee at a local high school. The 74-year-old veteran said, “I’m very proud of my age because I’m still alive.” A former boxer, Taitano was drafted as an Air Force defender in 1965 after
graduating from a Cheyenne, Wyoming, high school. He began his military training at a base in Washington and later trained at Fort Carson, Colorado, where he underwent advanced infantry training before he left for Vietnam. He recalled the trenches and underground tunnels he traveled, as he was “the shortest soldier.” He remembers the intense conditions during the monsoon seasons and having to avoid viper snakes and monkeys. Taitano also remembers playing cards with his fellow service members to pass the time. He added he’s pleased he’s healthy and alive, and he said he will always remember those who suffered injuries and died during the war. After his time in the military, he was a truck driver before becoming a firefighter and emergency medical technician. He also served as a medic with the Scottsdale Police Department. He said he shared exciting moments with new mothers and fathers during his 11 years as an EMT, as he helped deliver six babies. While receiving his award, he said he hopes that “many, many more families take part in this program” so others can receive the same help he did by being chosen as its grand-prize winner. —Staff writer Sarah Donahue can be reached at sdonahue@ timespublications.com

MARGULIES’ OPINION – jimmymargulies.com
Leibowitz isn’t interested in the law BY KEVIN HEADEZ
President, Death Penalty Alternatives for Arizona
How to get a letter published 250 N. Litchfield Road, Suite 100, Goodyear AZ 85338 E-mail: christina@star-times.com The Glendale Star welcomes letters that express readers’ opinion on current topics. Letters must include the writer’s full name, address (including city) and telephone number. The Glendale Star will print the writer’s name and city of residence only. Letters without the requisite identifying information will not be published. Letters are published in the order received, and they are subject to editing. The Glendale Star will not publish consumer complaints, form letters, clippings from other publications or poetry. Letters’ authors, not the Glendale Star, are responsible for the “facts” presented in letters.
The death penalty brings out the worst parts of people and our society. If I were to ask any person I meet on the street if killing is wrong, I’d expect nearly everyone to say “yes.” But if I ask someone whether they support the death penalty, about half the time the answer is “yes.” Why the disconnect? Why do half of the people in this state think that it makes sense to kill people to teach others that killing is wrong? A recent op-ed submitted by David Leibowitz offers some insight into this phenomenon of moral crisis. Mr. Leibowitz does not view the people on death row as human beings. Instead, he refers to them as “scumbags” who are unworthy of the dignity of a last meal. It makes sense that a proponent of the death penalty views others as less than human. How else could someone support killing another human being with a legalized form of torture? Never mind that death penalty proponents like Mr. Leibowitz don’t seem to understand the broken legal fictions that allow for a small number of murderers to be sentenced to death. Or that of those who are sentenced to death, the race of the defendant or victim, political ideology of the prosecutor or legislature, or financial resources of the jurisdiction where the crimes are committed have more to do with obtaining a death sentence than the facts of the crime. Mr. Leibowitz isn’t interested in facts, process or law. He and others are more concerned with the emotional vindication associated with killing

a killer with drugs which are clandestinely obtained via procedures that are largely cloaked from public view and scrutiny. If Arizona resumes its experiment with death seven years after it tortured Joseph Wood to death with a botched lethal injection that lasted an hour and 57 minutes, will you take solace knowing that you, too, can kill and torture someone in the name of justice? Justice is trending toward the abolition of the death penalty. Virginia is poised to become the 23rd state to abolish it. The United States routinely joins authoritarian countries such as China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Iran on lists of countries that killed the most people via execution in a single year, whereas 70% of the world refuses to kill for justice. If Arizona proceeds with the plan to inject prisoners with pentobarbital, a drug that causes “extreme pain” and creates a “a virtual medical certainty, that most, if not all, prisoners will experience excruciating suffering, including sensations of drowning and suffocation,” I know that I will not rejoice at such horror being inflicted on another human being in my name. If the prospect of such torture elates you, that sense of elation terrifies me. Please join me in exploring alternatives to state-sponsored torture and murder. I am confident that once you become informed of the process, the failure of death ideology to reduce crime, and the prospect for meaningful and effective reform, you, too, will take pause and question whether any human being is a “scumbag” deserving of such a cruel and inhumane death.

Community Tire Pros celebrates three decades BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
The family-owned and -operated business Community Tire Pros & Auto Repair is celebrating its 30th year in business, and CEO Howard Fleischmann is doing so by donating to a local animal shelter. To commemorate the 30th anniversary, Community Tire Pros & Auto Repair forged a relationship with Maricopa County Animal Care and Control to create Community Tire Cares. Throughout 2021, Fleischmann and his company will cover adoption fees for the first 10 long-term shelter and special needs pets from MCACC’s monthly adoption events. Sponsored pets will be featured on the company’s website, in-store waiting room monitors and on social media. “It doesn’t make sense to go buy pets when you can save a life,” Fleischmann said. “Being an active member of the community is what inspires me to get up every day. I try to make the world a better place in everything I do — both professionally and personally.” Since 1991, Fleischmann and his employees have prioritized customers and being an integral part of the local community as the cornerstone of the business. As the Valley of the Sun grew, so did Community Tire Pros &
ers consistently need to have a constant flow of customers through the doors. Tires are a commodity that you don’t make a lot of money on. You do make customers and you pick up work from there, like maintenance and repairs.” Fleischmann said he and his staff help customers get the miles out of their automobile. Auto repairs are expensive, but, he said, preventative measures can extend the car’s life. Those include regular oil changes, which can catch brake problems before they Howard Fleischmann Sr. and his wife, Pat Fleischmann, start destroying parts. own Community Tire Pros & Auto Repair.

We’re very pleased with our success. It’s all about people. I hear retail businesses say it’s all location, location, location. Our philosophy since the beginning has been people, people, people.” The COVID-19 pandemic was tough on the business, which has six locations in the Valley, including at 12251 N. 51st Avenue, Glendale. Fleischmann is looking to expand to the Chandler and far West Valley areas. “Last year was very challenging for businesses of all sizes, but it was also an opportunity to take inventory about what’s important and search for ways to give back in the communities where we live and work,” Fleischmann said. “In 2020, we realized pet adoptions were down because of COVID-19, so we searched for ways that we could be a solution to this problem. My wife and I love animals, so we are hopeful that Community Tire Cares will inspire families to open their homes to a pet who can provide a sense of comfort

Fosters Freeze execs seek Glendale location BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
The 70-year-old California-based ice cream and burger franchise Fosters Freeze is coming to Glendale. President and CEO Neal Dahya and Vice President of Brand Growth Nimesh Dahya are reigniting the brand by scouting locations within the city. This marks the first time the company is expanding outside of California, and it plans 19 other Valley locations. “Fosters is known for its soft serve ice cream — vanilla, chocolate, dipped and twisters,” Neal said. “It’s ice cream with a variety of toppings. We also have our burgers, chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, onion rings and French fries.” The Dahya brothers have worked with more than 180 restaurant franchise locations, with brands like Burger King, IHOP and Pizza Hut. They purchased the franchise five years ago and have implemented a number of improvements, including reducing food costs to introducing new store designs. Fosters Freeze has been a California tradition since the mid-1940s. The Fosters story began in 1946 when George Foster opened the first Fosters Freeze
in Inglewood, California. He introduced the soft serve cone and a line of soft serve desserts. The product became so popular that he opened a chain of restaurants. As California grew, so did the Fosters concept. Made-to-order hamburgers, fries and other food items were added to the menu. “In 2015, we learned about the franchise,” Nimesh said. “It has a long legacy. Neal and I are located in California, so it’s the perfect fit. We have the knowledge to take this to another level.” With 66 restaurants open for business, sales across the system have increased every year since the brothers arrived — including a 20% year-overyear jump, on top of five previous years of growth. While 2020 has presented its challenges, Fosters Freeze has seen success due to its small-footprint store model with walk-up windows perfect for low-contact takeout. “We’re trying to grow strategically,” Nimesh said. “We don’t want to open all over the United States immediately.” Fosters Freeze will soon see a more modern design, Neal said. “We kept everything with a nostalgic feel,” he said. “It’s more futuristic and modern, though.” —Executive Editor Christina Fuoco-Karasinski can be reached at christina@ timespublications.com Fosters Freeze executives are hoping to open 20 locations within the Valley.

Special delivery: Lou Malnati’s celebrates 50 years BY AYANNA MUHAMMAD Glendale Star Staff Writer
Lou Malnati’s is celebrating 50 years of business with its patrons throughout April. The pizzeria is offering 50% off select items during this time, hosting trivia contests and giveaways on social media, and will be asking foodies to make the best deep-dish pizza to celebrate its anniversary. Lou Malnati’s was founded in Chicago in 1971, and its opening night was marked by a car crashing into its dining area. But disaster hasn’t stopped the Malnati family from expanding its business or its pizzas. Since its creation, Lou Malnati’s has opened more than 50 locations, including 7507 W. Rose Garden Lane, Suite 105, in Glendale. “The last 10 or 12 years we’ve really ramped up our growth,” said Marc Malnati, the current owner and one of Lou’s sons. “When you have enough people that have been with you for 20, 30, 40 years, it makes growing quicker. When
you have enough talent, you can grow.” Vendors play a key role in the pizzas’ quality. The company has used the same cheese vendor for more than 40 years and the same sausage vendor for 25 years. Although some of its vendors have gone out of business, the pizzeria has stuck with its recipe and directed vendors on how it wants its products to be produced. The company sends a team to California annually to get tomatoes when they’re the ripest, then cans them and uses that for its pizzas. “It locks in the freshness so we’re able to use the highest-grade of tomatoes all year round. It makes the best pizzas,” Marc said. Malnati’s expanded to Arizona first because more than 30% of Phoenix
and Scottsdale residents had Chicago roots, Marc said. It felt like a “natural progression.” The pizza chain is part of Tastes of Chicago, which was created by Marc’s brother, Rick, and ships products like the Malnati’s pizzas or food from other Windy City popular chains. Pizzas that are shipped are flash frozen, which is done in minutes, to help contain the pizza’s quality. They also

Using the same method above, an old toothbrush can easily become an effective eyebrow brush. • Transform it into a lip loofa. The next time you apply lip balm, use a dry toothbrush as an exfoliator to gently scrub off dead skin before washing away or wiping with a towel. • Use multiple brushes to let out your inner Picasso. Grab paint and give

They are especially adept at cleaning appliances, windowsills, keyboards, grout, shoe soles and even hairdryers. Beyond reimaging your old toothbrushes, you might also consider using a more sustainable option from the onset. Recently, researchers at Trinity College Dublin studied the carbon footprint of the four most common types of toothbrushes — electric, standard plastic brushes, plastic brushes
keep a small inventory to help ensure pizzas are shipped out as closely as possible to the day they were made. Through its prosperity, the chain has not forgotten its roots. The company funds the Lou Malnati Cancer Research Foundation and hosts a yearly charity event in honor of Lou, who lost his battle against cancer. The charity event has silent and live auctions and is usually held in the fall. The foundation has raised over $4 million for cancer research institutions, according to the Lou Malnati’s website. “Building Malnati’s has been an incredible team effort, and our goal has always been to bring people in who are willing to do the relational work necessary to create more than just another company but to actually create a community,” Marc said.
Help save the planet while protecting oral health BY TIFFANY DI GIACINTO Delta Dental of Arizona
As Earth Day approaches on April 22, it’s worth looking at a few easy ways to add a little green to the dental routine. Let’s start with the toothbrush. Believe it or not, the average person goes through three to four toothbrushes every year. For those seeking a more environmentally conscious route for toothbrushes that have become long in the tooth, consider these hacks: • Use it to fight flyaways. By spraying the bristles with hairspray, you can use a toothbrush to gently push back
with replaceable heads, and bamboo brushes — and the results might surprise you. The electric toothbrush? Not the winner. The study found that due to the process of making an electric toothbrush, it is far less environmentally friendly than a plastic brush. It also found that the bamboo brush, which seems the most sustainable by the nature of its appearance, wasn’t the best option either. In the end, a traditional toothbrush made using recycled plastic came out victorious. Once you have the right brush, you SEE HEALTH PAGE 19

Rare rhino sent to WWZ to avoid extinction BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Maoto, a rare male white rhino, arrived at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park from San Diego Zoo Safari Park to kick off one of the conservation’s breeding programs. The project is set to bring in completely new blood lines to improve genetic diversity for managed populations and help fight against extinction. As part of Wildlife World’s dedication to rhino conservation, the zoo has been consulting, researching and planning its innovative breeding program as part of the completed rhino facility that opened in early 2018. “It’s immensely rewarding to know that Wildlife World had the resources and capabilities to import our female rhinos from Africa where they are no longer at risk of being slaughtered by poachers and provide them and Maoto a natural environment to procreate,” said Kristy Morcom, Wildlife World’s director of media relations.

“This breeding program has been nearly a decade in the making, and it feels great to know that everyone’s hard work has finally paid off.

staff expertise and tens of thousands of dollars to local, national and international organizations dedicated to the survival of the world’s most endangered species and to rhino conservation efforts. The entire rhino population is at risk. At the start of the 20th century, 500,000 rhinos roamed the wild. By 1970, the worldwide population fell to 70,000. Today, 29,000 rhinos survive in the wild. With the species’ survival at stake, select rhino populations are being protected by armed guards instructed to “shoot on site” as a last-ditch effort to preserve the iconic creatures. In South Africa alone, poachers kill three or more rhinos per day to meet the black-market demand for rhino horn, which is falsely believed to be an aphrodisiac in some Asian cultures. All five living rhino species (black, white, greater one-horned, Sumatran and Javan) are in peril from poaching, forest loss and human settlements encroaching on their habitats in Africa, Indonesia and India. Rhinos live in small, isolated populations that often cannot get together to breed. In 2011, the Western black rhino, a subspecies of the black rhino, was declared extinct due to poaching. The burgeoning middle classes in China and Vietnam are increasingly able to afford rhino horn. This demand drives record poaching rates. Even in light of their fading population, poachers break into rhino orphanages and sanctuaries and are even starting to target zoos to slaughter these animals for their ivory,
which is made of keratin — the same protein that makes up hair and fingernails. “It’s my hope that through education, awareness and our new breading program, we can work together in the fight for the rhino’s survival — to guarantee a viable genetic population and ensure that no more rhino species go extinct,” said Mickey Ollson, director and founder of Wildlife World. “If the persecution of this species continues, we will likely see the rhino go extinct from the wild within our lifetime.” With more than 600 species and 6,000 animals on display, there are always new arrivals at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park. Other babies on display include a baby giraffe, baby tapir, a litter of black-backed jackals, endangered addax and Arabian oryx, and other youngsters throughout the 100-acre park. Wildlife World’s keepers and veterinarians have raised dozens of species of wild and endangered animals over the past several decades. Wildlife World strives to maximize genetic diversity in the zoological population with its breeding programs. As a USDA-licensed, private institution, accredited by the Zoological Association of America and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums, Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park does not receive taxpayer funding. No tax dollars have ever been spent to build or operate Wildlife World in its 36-year history.

should also pay attention to what you are doing while brushing. Among the easiest ways to help the environment while fighting plaque: • Turn off the water while brushing, turning it back on only to rinse your mouth and the brush. Turning off the water while brushing your teeth can save 4 to 8 gallons of water per person, per day. That’s more than 1,460 gallons of water per year. • Slow down. Brushing hard and fast isn’t just rough on your gums; it breaks down your toothbrush far

What to do when obvious isn’t so obvious Sometimes we struggle to embrace what should be obvious. Here are some original, amusing headlines in respected newspapers and magazines that illustrate this point. Here’s an example from the Los Angeles Times: “Larger Kangaroos Leap Further, Researchers Find.” The Hartford Courant reports, “Alcohol Ads Promote Drinking.” The Cornell Daily Sun reports: “Study Finds Sex, Pregnancy Link.” Here’s one from the New York Times: “Survey Finds Dirtier Subways after Cleaning Jobs Were Cut.” The Saint Augustine Record headline says: “Bible Church’s Focus is on the Bible.” The Journal of Commerce proclaims: “Court Rules Boxer Shorts Are Indeed Underwear.” Finally, The Columbus Dispatch reports: “Lack of Brains Hinders Research.” Obviously,

obvious is not always obvious. Here is some wisdom that should be obvious to most of us. “Being rejected because of who you are is better than being accepted because of who you pretend to be.” Somebody needed that quote today. How about this thought? “The biggest lie I tell myself is, ‘I don’t need to write that down. I’ll remember it.’” Well, yeah! Here’s another thought for you that should or will be obvious in the future. “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am
changing myself.” How about this obvious brain twister for you: Take your age and add 5 to it; that will be your age in 5 years. One final example for you about our trouble with embracing the obvious is by an unknown author. “The other day, I was hanging out with a friend. This friend is a Christian but doesn’t always act like one. Some days she is in line with God’s word, and some days life’s struggles get the best of her. “Our eyes meeting, I wanted to say something about this but decided to let the Lord speak to her. I knew nothing I could say would have the same impact as her Father’s words. So, I prayed with her. After a few minutes, I winked at her and walked away from the mirror.”
It’s interesting to me why some people struggle in believing in God. The Scriptures say God has made it evident that there is the one, true, living God and life after death. How did God make it obvious? God wrote a book about it. Ecclesiastes 3:11 states that God has set eternity into every person’s heart. The thoughts we have all had about God, eternity and heaven are programmed into us by God to lead us to God. When people are walking in the dark about the reality of God, God guides them.

forms us about three bright “lights,” given to us, that light the way to God. Chapter 1 talks about the light of nature. Chapter 2 talks about the light of conscience. Chapter 3 talks about the light of the Gospel. What does the light of nature mean? Romans Chapter 1 says, “God’s invisible attributes, His eternal power, and divine nature have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that all men are without excuse.” In other words, God has made Himself known by what we can see. Have you ever looked at the multitude of stars on a clear night? Overwhelming, isn’t it? Have you ever looked at nature, the ocean or the fantastic living things God has made? God created nature, the earth and the heavens to show us the Creator who created the creation. Nature and created things are not God but point the way to God. What is the light of our conscience in Romans Chapter 2? Our conscience is that unseen part of us, telling us what is right and wrong. All people instinctively know they should do what is moral and best for everyone. When we don’t listen to our conscience, we feel convicted, even uncomfortable. Conscience is a God thing meant to show us there is a God and lead us to Him. What is the light of the Gospel in Roman’s Three? The Bible says that all have broken God’s law and fall short of the glory of God. Because God is
righteous, He requires righteousness. The light of the Gospel is God giving us His righteousness. How? Jesus came to pay the penalty for our shortcomings and release us from sin’s prison. Our acceptance of what Christ did on the cross made it just as if we had never sinned. The Gospel means the good news about Jesus, God’s Son, coming in the flesh, revealing to us the exact nature of God. In Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, God poured all our badness into Jesus and then poured all of Jesus’ goodness into us. When Jesus died, our sin died. When Jesus arose, we arose. That makes us citizens of heaven for eternity. Have a glorious Easter/Resurrection Day! Your mirror is talking to you. The three lights are showing you. God made Himself known through nature, through our conscience and the Gospel. Embrace the obvious. After all, you have eternity in your heart.

Glendale Gamers encourages engagement BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Playing video games can be a solitary experience, but the Glendale Parks and Recreation Department is encouraging gamers to join others as part of the free Glendale Gamers Program. “We are offering esports opportunities and game streaming to engage residents in virtual programming while maintaining the safety for our community members,” said Manuel Padia, recreation coordinator. The program began in early March with Goodyear and Peoria’s recreation departments. “We saw they were doing awesome stuff in their communities, and we wanted to do the same for ours,” Padia
said. The Glendale Gamers played Minecraft on March 24, when players battled along local gamers and accessed the online stream hosted by the Goodyear Stream Team and the Peoria E-Sports Group. “Anyone can jump on from wherever they’re at,” he said. “We stream for a three-hour window. Someone can maybe get on for an hour an interact.” The games change each week. Sometimes they’re geared toward youngsters, other times families. “We play and stream different games
that appeal to a variety of skill levels and ages,” Padia said. “The livestreams are family friendly and moder-
ated by the parks and recreation staff. Participants will be able to engage in different contests and play for various prizes.” For more information, sign up on the esports interest list at https://bit.ly/ 2PCoRxk or contact Padia at mcpadia@ glendaleaz.com. “The esports community is growing,” Padia said. “The Fiesta Bowl is even holding tournaments. We see that as a growing trend in our field.”
Inaugural Fiesta Bowl esports competition kicks off BY ZACH MOORE
Glendale Star Staff Writer
PUZZLE ANSWERS
The Fiesta Bowl has been played in Arizona for 50 years. However, this year will be the second time the game, well known for its College Football Playoff implications, will venture the esports tournament scene. The Fiesta Bowl held a sold-out Over-
watch tournament in 2018. The Fiesta Bowl Esports Showdown features two divisions open to all Arizona residents and students: Rocket League for ages 18 and younger, along with Call of Duty: Warzone for those older than 18. The first qualifying competition for Rocket League took place March 20,
with the opening session of Call of Duty: Warzone set for Saturday, April 10. Fiesta Bowl Chief Operating Officer Bob Whitehouse said this allows players of all ages to obtain exposure. “This will allow for more competition and create a level playing field for everybody,” Whitehouse said. “And for those high schools that do not have an esports team, it will allow them to get exposed to some competition and to compete for some scholarships.” There is no charge for the tourney. Participants have to be a resident or student in Arizona to join. It is a golden opportunity for the Fiesta Bowl, a nonprofit organization, to continue giving back to the community. “Because of esports events like this, we will continue to be able to give back to the community and various Arizona nonprofits,” Whitehouse said. “The more successful we can make it, the more of a positive impact we can make on the community.”
Whitehouse said the Fiesta Bowl has contributed between $3 million and $6 million annually to Arizona nonprofits. While the Fiesta Bowl has grown to one of the largest college football games, Whitehouse believes there is more to accomplish. The goal for this tourney is to bring in gamers from around the country. “We are hopeful, over the next three years, to be able to build this up to a national event,” Whitehouse said. The Fiesta Bowl committee has a vision to ultimately be able to get as many viewers as possible and host the championship at a local venue that would make an economic impact in the Valley. With several sponsors and divisions in place, the Fiesta Bowl feels very strongly about the potential this opportunity could have. “That is the great thing about esports — the boundaries are limitless,” Whitehouse said.
