Glendale settles military firing lawsuit

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

NEWS...............4 Grand Canyon University awards students full tuition

April 11, 2019

The city of Glendale has settled a lawsuit with the U.S. Department of Justice alleging it had illegally fired an Arizona Air National Guard member because she requested leave from her job for training.

Per the settlement, the city must pay Capt. Rebecca Cruz $45,000 in back wages. Cruz will also have her Arizona State Retirement contributions reinstated.

According to the complaint, Cruz has served as a member of the Arizona Air National Guard since 2007, and was fired from her position as a management analyst last year. Cruz alleged she was fired just days after she requested a two-month leave for

National Guard training.

“In order to provide the security our nation depends on, members of our National Guard, like Capt. Cruz, are often called away from their civilian jobs,” Acting Assistant Attorney General John Gore said.

“These brave men and women must be able to fulfill their military obligations without fear that they will lose their jobs in the process, and the Department of Justice is here to ensure those protections.”

According to the settlement, however, the city denies Cruz was fired for any other reason than job-related issues. Glendale accommodates military leave requests and provides benefits to those employees in a manner above what is federally required.

Sine recognized as firefighter

Over the past five years 27 city employees have utilized nearly 15,000 hours of military leave.

In a statement, the city emphasized its support for military service members, stating that it goes above and beyond with its policies and practices regarding military service.

Luke Air Force Base has also been honored by the Department of Defense for exceptional support of Guard and Reserve employees. Out of nearly 3,000 applications for the 2015 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, Glendale was one of only 15 organizations nationwide that met the standard of excellence.

Thirty-two years ago, Max Sine went on a ride along with his firefighter brother-in-law. Now, Sine himself is Glendale’s Firefighter of the Year.

Sine received the honor during the Glendale Fire Department’s annual awards ceremony at the end of March.

“I was in construction and my brother-in-law was a Phoenix firefighter. I went with him on a ride along and liked it a lot,” Sine told The Glendale Star.

He was nominated by Glendale firefighter Dan Pertro, who wrote in his nomination letter, “I had the pleasure of having Max as my mentor in academy. Since day one, he has been an inspiraSEE SINE PAGE 2

tion to the firefighter I want to be and become as my career grows.

“I believe that Max sets the standard and is a role model for all members of our organization. He is as hard working as they come, both on and off the job. His wealth of knowledge and experience is something that you simply cannot replace. Max may not know it, but he symbolizes what the fire service stands for. He is a leader by example, he betters those around him and he portrays both pride and tradition.”

But Sine, whose grandfather is Melvin E. Sine, the namesake of a local elementary school, admitted he wasn’t immediately sold on joining the academy and becoming a firefighter.

“With my grandfather, I kind of had an in. All the fire chief’s kids at that time went to Melvin E. Sine Elementary,” Sine said. “It took me a little time, but once I got into it I fell in love with the job.”

Sine joined the Glendale Fire Department in February 1988. With plans to retire next February, he is now down to the final 10 months of his career.

“I am so honored to have served the citizens of Glendale,” Sine said. “I have a lot of work I have been prom-

ising my wife to do around our home.

We have a cabin up north and I like to golf, so I will keep busy.”

He has two children and five grandchildren. His son, Shawn, is also a firefighter, in Glendale’s Engine 157.

“I was a little surprised when he decided to join the team, but was happy,” Sine said. “I am really proud of the man and firefighter he has become.”

Sine served as a mentor during training academy classes in 2015 and 2016.

It was there he made a lasting impact

on the membership. Recruits depend on mentors to guide and mold them.

Sine joins a long list of distinguished recipients of the Firefighter of the Year award. He is the 30th man to hold the title.

While this isn’t Sine’s first time being considered – he was nominated twice before – he was still surprised to be selected.

“I have lost twice before and didn’t expect to win this year,” Sine admitted.

“I was there with the other nominees

and had no idea that I had won until they called the week before to make sure I showed up. It was a special night and I am really honored to receive this award.”

Quick to direct his attention back to others, he added, “I don’t think I am the only one who deserves this award.

Every other firefighter is special and all deserved to be honored for their work.”

With his retirement approaching, Sine admitted there are certain elements he will miss.

“I enjoy the comradery with the guys. We are all very close,” Sine said.

“I enjoy going on fire calls and helping people out when they are at their lowest – that and the appreciation we get from the public. I will miss all that when I do retire.”

Nevertheless, 32 years is a long time – and Sine admitted he never even expected to make it this far.

“My first job was in our busiest fire station, Station 154, and I didn’t know what I was getting into – being up all night (while) working construction during the day, trying to feed my family,” Sine reflected. “I wondered out loud, ‘I don’t know if I can make 20 years.’ But now I am looking at the end of a career I am very proud of.”

LAWSUIT FROM PAGE 1

plaint stated that the city hired Cruz as a management analyst for the public works department in March 2016, knowing she was a member of the National Guard.

Approximately two months after she was hired, she was notified that she would need to attend military training for a new National Guard job classification to which she was being assigned.

When she told the city about the new training, she claimed she was fired approximately seven days later.

Cruz said in the complaint that she believed her supervisors decided to terminate her the same day they learned the city’s own employment policies would require the public works department to continue to pay her for up to 320 hours of military leave.

City officials noted Cruz had met with the city’s human resources department. Cruz stated in the complaint that staff “made it clear there was an issue with her leaving for training.”

The city responded to the complaint with a claim that the decision to terminate Cruz was made “before becoming aware that she had received military orders and requested paid military leave.”

The city response added, “her work performance was not meeting city expectations and (she had an) inability to communicate effectively and appropriately with staff.”

But based on the close timing of a supervisor’s alleged negative comments about her military leave and the lack of any prior discussion about her job performance, Cruz believed the public works department fired her due to her military obligation, according to the complaint.

The case was filed under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) of 1994. USERRA protects the rights of uniformed service members to retain their civilian employment following absences due to military service obligations, and provides that service members shall not be discriminated against because of their military obligations.

Red Cross inspiring donors for Volunteer Month

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood or platelets during National Volunteer Month in Peoria or its surrounding communities this April. Eligible donors of all blood types – especially type O – are needed to help ensure blood products are available for patients this spring.

Nearly half of the public knows someone who has been helped by a blood transfusion. Volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those in need of transfusions, and the Red Cross salutes the volunteer blood and platelet donors who help fulfill its lifesaving mission. While donors of all blood types are needed, the Red Cross currently has a severe shortage of type O blood donations and urges type O donors to give now.

And to celebrate the final season of “Game of Thrones,” HBO and the American Red Cross have partnered to encourage fans and donors to show their bravery and valor by bleeding #ForTheThrone. Those who donate

by April 30 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a full-size

Iron Throne from HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Terms and conditions apply and are available at redcrossblood. org/hbogameofthrones. Additionally, all presenting donors from April 11 through 30 will receive a commemorative Bleed For The Throne poster, while supplies last, and automatically be entered in the above-mentioned sweepstakes.

Woman’s Club holding health screening event

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF According to the American Public Health Association’s website, every year chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes are responsible for millions of premature deaths.

So, the GFWC Glendale Woman’s Club will host a Life Line Screening event on Wednesday, April 17, to help Valley residents in the prevention of these chronic diseases.

“We are honored to work with Life Line Screening, the nation’s leading provider of preventive health screenings, to provide this service to our community,” said Grace Kobojek, president of the GFWC Glendale Woman’s Club.

Catching and preventing these illnesses and incidents before they develop is the key to improving the nation’s health.

Screenings are fast, painless and affordable. Three key tests check for blocked carotid arteries, an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation, and high blood pressure, which are the three leading risk factors for stroke.

Strokes are the fifth leading cause of death in the nation, yet, with preventive strategies, 80% of strokes can be prevented.

Other tests check for abdominal aortic aneurysms and hardening of the arteries in the legs. A bone density screening to assess osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women. Many events

Police have arrested a man on accusations of sexual assault and recording women in the shower.

Justin Wade Harwood, 32, of Peoria was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail April 2 on charges of sexual assault, sexual exploitation and unlawful tape recording. He was arrested

by Glendale police near Union Hills Drive and 91st Avenue.

Police said they were notified of the crimes on December 3, after one of three victims told officers she had found videos of all three showering and using the restroom at Harwood’s home. The victim also told officers she found multiple files of females’ names on Harwood’s computer and thumb drives that contained a number of women nude.

The victim told officers she had dated Harwood and discovered the videos after a domestic violence incident.

Officers obtained a search warrant for Harwood’s residence, and determined there to be at least seven victims, including one boy under the age of 10.

Police state Harwood can be seen in at least one of the videos.

According to the release, a report out of Chandler indicated Harwood allegedly recorded a sexual assault of a woman and posted it to social media in late 2008.

He is accused of blackmailing the woman to remove a restraining order against him in exchange for his removal of the video from the internet.

Harwood is also under investigation in a Glendale case for aggravated as-

sault from a November 2018 incident.

Harwood did not request a lawyer when interviewed by police and told officers he bought the camera to watch his son due to behavior problems but it was “accidentally left in the bathroom while he was getting ready for work.”

He also stated he recalled recording the alleged sexual assault, but denied posting the video to social media.

Court records show Harwood is also under investigation by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and the Arizona Department of Child Safety on allegations of abuse of his son. Authorities stated they obtained photos of injuries but no abuse charges have been filed as of April 3. Authorities told the court that Harwood is a danger to himself and others.

Harwood is being held without bond awaiting trial.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF January Contreras and Dr. Hiral Tipirneni will be the featured speakers at the League of Women Voters of Northwest Maricopa County’s annual meeting at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 13.

Held at the Briarwood Country Club, 20800 N. 135th Avenue, Sun City West, the event is open to the public once lunch concludes at 1 p.m. and the speakers take the stage.

Contreras, a 2018 candidate for Arizona Attorney General, and Tipirneni, Congressional District 8 candidate, will speak about their experiences as women, their campaigns, and their positions on issues important to the public.

Contreras ran for Arizona Attorney General in 2018. She is a champion for getting special interest money out of politics, protecting health care and supporting struggling families. She has dedicated her career to public service and believes in an Arizona where everyone feels safe and where constitutional and civil rights are protected.

Contreras is a fourth-generation Arizonan and longtime champion for women and children.

She served as a county and state prosecutor before becoming an advisor to Janet Napolitano in the Governor’s Office, and the U.S. Department

of Homeland Security. In 2013, she founded Arizona Legal Women and Youth Services, which provides free legal services to children and young adults who have survived abuse, trafficking, homelessness and the foster care system.

Tipirneni first sought public office in 2018 when she ran for CD8 in both a special election and the general election. Tipirneni announced last month she will be running for David Livingston’s seat in Congress in 2020.

Tipirneni has dedicated her life to serving her community, solving problems and improving lives.

For the last 20 years, she has been an emergency room physician, cancer research advocate and, most recently, on the board of directors of the Maricopa Health Foundation, which supports the county’s public health care delivery system.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.

The league also welcomes men as members.

Glendale Chamber holding military induction ceremony

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Glendale Chamber of Commerce Military & Veterans Affairs Committee has partnered with Glendale Mayor Jerry P. Weiers to host the 2019 Military Induction Ceremony.

The event will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, April 26, at Calvary Community Church, 6060 W. Bell Road. Doors open at 6 p.m. for the free, public event.

Officials from the U.S. Armed Services and local organizations will salute the enlistment decision made by local high school students to join the military.

New recruits will be honored with a ceremonial stole, a presentation of their first challenge coin, a Certificate of Appreciation from the Office of the Mayor, a ceremonial administering of oath, and a musical tribute.

“This ceremony is a way for the community to honor the inductees and reassure the families that there is a community supporting them and their military family members. I am proud of how much this event has grown since it began three years ago and can’t believe we will have over 200 partici-

pants this year.” Weiers said.

Lin Sue Cooney, director of community engagement for Hospice of the Valley and former 12News TV anchor, will be the mistress of ceremony at the event.

“Individuals making a commitment to join the military deserve our utmost respect. Our country’s strength and image are promoted worldwide by members of our Armed Forces,” said Dr. Jeff Turney, chairman of the Military & Veterans Affairs Committee.

“Glendale will always be their home and we are honored to have them represent us.”

This event is made possible by donations from businesses and community patrons.

Can you be sure that leafy substance won’t kale you?

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

Back in college, I waited tables at a chain restaurant called Bennigan’s, which prided itself on the “eye appeal” of its food.

The secret? We put some half-wilted kale on virtually every plate leaving the kitchen. Because I inevitably forgot to add the kale garnish – or couldn’t find the right-size sprig to adorn some poor schlub’s Monte Cristo sandwich – I came to despise this leafy green.

You can imagine my horror 20 years later when kale suddenly became a culinary thing.

Kale is everywhere in 2019: salads, smoothies, juices, powder, chips. Hating kale has become a full-time job because marketers and tastemakers have branded this tasteless crap a “superfood,” allegedly capable of curing disease and

making us all live to be 104 years old while still running the 40-yard dash with the speed of an NFL wide receiver.

At a salad bar this week, I literally couldn’t locate a shred of real lettuce.

There was only kale.

As I pondered launching a rebellion, a thought occurred to me: Perhaps medical science might come to the rescue? And it did.

See, one of the great things about living in the 21st century – besides the disappearance of Bennigan’s – is that researchers spend time and taxpayer cash studying literally everything. And, given the nature of science, all these conflicting studies seem to lead to one conclusion.

Simply Ear- resistible

Everything is simultaneously good for us and bad for us. Like kale.

Sure, a single cup of kale contains 200 percent of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin A. But you know what else kale contains? Pesticides.

A study by The Environmental Working Group ranks kale third on their Dirty Dozen list for pesticide contamination.

As they explained it quoting recent federal agricultural statistics, “more than 92% of conventionally grown kale samples had at least two or more pesticide residues. Some samples contained residues from as many as 18 different pesticides.”

Screw kale then. And screw red wine, too.

Whenever I eat out with friends lately, someone raves about “dark oak accents” or some such nonsense.

My new response: “I’ll pass. I just read a new study in the August journal BMC Public Health. Did you know drinking a bottle of wine per week increases your cancer risk? Sad, but true. Researchers say a bottle of wine weekly is the equivalent of a guy smoking five cigarettes a week, or 10 cigarettes if you’re a female.”

I’m also taking a break from the gym, thanks to the recently published study “The Emergence of Exercise Addiction, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and Other Image-related Psychopathological Cor-

relates in Fitness Settings.” The conclusion after studying 1,711 gym users across Europe?

“We found 11.7% of the exercising population are at risk of exercise addiction.”

Fortunately, not all the research news is bad. It turns out pizza can be a useful motivational tool, according to research conducted by Duke University behavioral economist Dan Ariely, who studied workers at an Israeli semiconductor factory.

Ariely offered different motivational rewards for a productive work week – including $30 cash, compliments and free pizza. Workers offered the pizza saw their productivity jump 6.7% on Day One. That beat workers who chose sweet praise (a 6.6% spike) and cold cash (4.9%).

The interesting part of the study?

While pizza and compliments increased productivity over the course of the week, the offer of a modest cash reward actually hurt weekly productivity.

If the editors are reading this, I’m happy to take payment this week in large pies. With extra pepperoni, please.

And for heaven’s sake, absolutely no kale at all. I’ve read how that stuff can kill you.

Student Council from the eyes of a student

BY ALEXIA HILL Apollo High School Journalism Student

Do you enjoy going to assemblies, or are you one to leave early from school any chance you get? Do you like going to events like Mr. Apollo with your friends, or is that the last way you want to spend your time?

Regardless of if you personally go to events or not, everyone who does go or participate in school events seems to have a good time.

However, it is known not everyone enjoys school or events put on by Student Council. As a junior in StuCo, I know that everyone works extremely hard to put on the best experience that is possible. It has been a well-known joke and oft-said phrase that StuCo is rigged. But if one could spend a day in StuCo, it would show that “rigging” anything would just be an extra hassle with which no one wants to deal.

For example, prom planning began last summer. It is a year-round project to ensure a good dance for seniors.

And big events such as assemblies take months to plan. And the day before and morning of we stay late and come in as early as 5 a.m. For the Senior Blurbs, multiple people in StuCo stayed after school for 3 hours to count up votes.

Although constructive criticism is always helpful, it’s not helpful or kind for people to claim something so negative when the only goal is to create a spirited high school experience.

In fact, StuCo even goes to different conventions throughout the year with others from around Arizona to build bonds and gain better leadership skills.

At the last district convention, Jim and Zachary Threadgill’s father was the guest motivational speaker at Moon Valley High School. He spoke about being a leader, achieving goals and being persistent.

We are also taught as stuconians to

understand that not everyone will like our events or participate. Mrs. Walls has told us there is always room to improve, and has emphasized how important it is to stay positive, continuously work hard on every event we do and, most importantly, remember why we do what we do.

Yes, I know it’s all cheesy, very cheesy. But, to work hard and spend so much of your personal time dedicated to throwing events like dances, assemblies and spirit weeks, we have to remember our purpose for doing all of it. We don’t expect appraisal; our main goal is to create a happy campus and for people to enjoy school and take pride in Apollo, more or less. It’s to make people look forward to school, being with friends, building strong bonds and having fun at our events.

For those who have talked down upon Student Council, I suggest joining to see how it really is for yourself.

The energy and feeling of accomplishment after an event is a feeling I had never felt before, and I hope to continue that cliché feeling until I graduate. The leadership skills learned are so useful in life, like communication, planning ahead and working through problems maturely.

Furthermore, seeing people actually enjoy the things you work so hard on for hours upon hours and dollars upon dollars is something unexplainable.

When mishaps occur we do our best to make things work and make students happy.

It’s all on a scale that needs to be balanced precisely by compromise and sacrifice, being well planned, and being fun for nearly everyone. Work hard and play hard, in a sense.

One way I think of it is we shouldn’t put on any events we wouldn’t want to go to ourselves.

Charley’s Sports Grill stresses comfort, varied menu

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

The portions are generous at Charley’s Sport Grill. Shown here is the beef sandwich. The soup and salad is on the lighter end of Charley’s Sports Grill’s menu.

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Lynn Clemens was working in operations at Avent two years ago when she just didn’t feel right. The then-58-yearold tried to text her daughter and her message was jumbled.

Her daughter told her to call an ambulance; Clemens was having a stroke.

During rehabilitation, Clemens had to relearn several skills, but most importantly she needed to get out of the house.

“I like people and I found myself not seeing anyone or doing anything,” Clemens said. “So, what I really needed to do was get out and try to see as many people as I could.”

Her next logical step: Buy a bar/ restaurant. A space at the Loop 101 and Union Hills Drive became available, and she snagged it. She renovated the inside and changed the name to Charley’s Sports Grill.

“I ripped out all the carpet and painted everything,” she said. “We put in a new bar and cleaned everything. We wanted it cozy enough so people felt comfortable.”

For the menu, Clemens simply offers items she would want to have when she goes out to eat. Wings, brats, pub board, sandwiches spaghetti and salads are among her top items.

“I went all over the place to see how

burgers are $9.99.

Two toppings are an additional $1. The choices are cheddar, pepper jack, mozzarella, American, provolone and Swiss cheese; bacon; green chilis; mushrooms; guacamole; avocado and jalapeños.

Lynn Clemens’ goal in opening Charley’s Sports Grill was to make it Clemens is happy comfortable for women. (Submitted photos) with the restaurant. other restaurants made dishes and She doesn’t foresee any major changes.

“If I can just keep it the way it is, that’s how I chose the menu,” she said.

In turn, Clemens enjoys the entire where I just keep meeting new people, menu at Charley’s, which also has off- I’ll be fine,” said Clemens, who’s now 60. track betting.

“Places with off-track betting are “Everything’s really good,” she said. “My favorites are the burgers and typically very male dominated. It was the quesadillas. This morning I had a very important for me to create a place where women would feel comfortbreakfast burrito to die for.”

The half-pound, build-your-own able.”

Clemens doesn’t appear to be a stroke survivor, and she takes that as a compliment. Sometimes, she said, she loses her train of thought during conversations.

“It’s like they’re speaking a different language,” she said, “I can’t think of words, but other than that, every day gets a little better.”

2019 Volkswagen Passat is a ‘real pleasure’

BY C.A. HAIRE Glendale Star Contributing Writer The Volkswagen Passat is worth a look for those searching for a nice fourdoor sedan with German engineering at a reasonable cost. The base price is only $23,000; the pictured car is an upgraded Redline version at $25,000. This includes a long list of standard equipment such as dual climate controls, heated mirrors, 19inch alloy wheels, cruise control, power windows/locks and satellite radio. The only option was an LED headlight package at a pricey $1,195. Still, the tab was only $27,040, and that includes a sixyear/70,000-mile factory warranty.

Under the hood is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 174 horsepower, hooked to a six-speed automatic gearbox.

The fuel economy is listed at 25/36 mpg.

We drove this car for 500 miles in one week to get the real-world economy. Our highway trips averaged 34 mpg, which was impressive.

The 18.5-gallon fuel tank gives a cruising range of more than 600 miles, which is more impressive. The cabin is nothing fancy, but the materials are very solid, and workmanship is very nice. All of the controls are simple and easy to use. The fake leather trim actually looks and feels nice, so who cares if it’s not real?

Driving the Passat is a real pleasure. The steering is quick enough, the handling on tight corners is brisk enough, and the ride comfortable enough. The brakes bring the vehicle to a halt with no fade. The seats are comfortable. This car would be a good choice for long trips.

These expensive LED headlights do a great job of illuminating the pavement. Even past 300 feet, the spread is wide and road signs are easy to see.

The only drawback is these are very expensive to replace, so don’t break them.

Guardian Games returning to Westgate

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA Glendale Star Managing Editor

When the Guardian Games were originally conceptualized, Sanderson Ford was looking for a unique way to raise money for the Special Olympics.

As golf tournaments – the original idea – are far and wide, the Glendale dealership’s officials were brainstorming for something more unique, according to spokeswoman Jenny Kester.

Thus, the Games were born.

Now three years in, the Law Enforcement Torch Run Guardian Games are going strong, and are set to return from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, April 12, at Westgate Entertainment District, 6751 N. Sunset Boulevard, Glendale.

Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 9:30 a.m., when the opening ceremony commences. Then, when the clock strikes 10 a.m., the games begin.

Lunch and award ceremonies follow at 12:30 p.m.

A partnership between Sanderson Ford and Special Olympics Arizona, the Guardian Games allow unified teams comprised of one Special Olympics athlete, two sponsor participants and one law enforcement officer to come together as one – and also duke it out with other teams in a variety of competitions.

“This format allows the people that are involved to interact with the athletes, so they’re seeing directly where their money’s going and the difference that it’s making in these athletes’ lives,” Kester explained.

“When you’re going to a golf tour-

Teams comprised of one special olympics athlete, two sponsor participants and one law enforcement officer will compete in the Guardian Games. (Photo courtesy Sanderson Ford)

nament, they can raise a lot of money, but you’re giving your money and you don’t really interact with a charity. So this is a unique event that’s giving the sponsors an opportunity to interact with the actual charities they serve.”

U-Haul is the event’s title sponsor, but also involved are a number of different pro teams and major companies.

Different sponsors for events will include the Arizona Cardinals, the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Arizona Coyotes, the Phoenix Suns, Phoenix Rising, iHeart Media, Your Phoenix CW, ABC15 and Bonneville Radio.

Historic Preservation Tour rolling through town

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The city of Glendale’s 16th annual Historic Preservation Tour will roll through town from 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, May 4.

The event provides a guided motor coach “armchair tour” of significant historic sites in Glendale as well as walking tours of selected historic sites.

This tour is open to the public.

It begins with check-in and boarding at 8:30 a.m. at Glendale Civic Center, 5750 W. Glenn Drive. The tour departs at 9 a.m. and returns at noon.

Guests will receive a detailed itinerary, maps and other informational items on the tour. Space is limited, so reservations will be made on a firstcome, first-served basis. Children must be accompanied by an adult. The title sponsor for this event is the Glendale Ambassadors.

To make a reservation or request additional information, contact Samantha Cope, city of Glendale Planning Division, at (623) 930-2831 or scope@ glendaleaz.com.

Local celebrities and professional athletes will be on deck.

And ultimately, all the funds from

the event will benefit Special Olympics Arizona.

But with nine games (including a bonus one, according to Kester), the activities are spaced all throughout Westgate – and the public is free to come on down and check it out.

The eight primary games include street hockey, a basketball skills challenge, the quarterback toss, soccer kick, master the putt, a superhero course, beat Shazam, and LETR experience, according to the Games’ website.

“A lot of people, when we tell them they’re signing up for this, they get intimidated, like, ‘Oh, well I’m not very active’ and stuff like that,” Kester said.

“But they’re super fun games. Each game is only like 10-15 minutes, and you’re on a team, so it’s a really short game that you play.”

“We have all kinds of stuff. We have a music game with iHeart … where they play a bunch of songs and you have to guess what song it is and write it down.”

What is your logo, business card and trademark?

Consider this statement if you want to live long and prosper. “Your smile is your logo. Your personality is your business card. How you leave others feeling after transacting with you is your trademark.”

You might be thinking, “This statement is for a sales person. I’m a production person.” Or you might be thinking, “You don’t know the company I work for. It’s crazy.” Or you might be thinking, “I’ve tried doing what that statement says before and it didn’t work.”

Most people will have their take on the statement. Yet, with few exceptions, this is a great guiding principle for life. Applying it will do you good and help you, too. It will also do others good. That’s the point of this article.

Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card and the way

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Contributing Writer

others feel after transacting with you is your trademark. Your logo, business card and trademark is for others more than you.

We’ve experienced the counter person with a frown that could sink a ship and a personality to match. Their frown says to us, “I’m having a bad day. I’m in a bad mood. If you bother me, I’m going to make you pay for it.” Then we say to ourselves, “Dear person, please cancel my subscription to your issues.”

As we have said before in this article, if we don’t heal from what hurt us, we

will bleed all over people who didn’t cut us.

The truth is if we are going through a hard time or down time personally, we can be pleasant on the outside. We don’t have to be rude. And we don’t have to make people feel mad, frustrated or offended after transacting with them. Most times, it’s not the load that breaks us down. It’s the way we’re carrying it. Don’t let what’s on the inside of you outside if it will turn others off.

Our first impression is often our last impression. People judge us by our actions, not our intentions. One might have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg. Let’s desire for those around us to transact with the heart of gold in us, not the hard-boiled egg in us. The world is filled with nice people.

somebody. Let your smile change the world but don’t let the world change your smile.

Think of how many marriages have split, sales not made, opportunities missed, customers who have not returned, people who left their church, and the like because someone copped an attitude. The person with the bad attitude on the outside is probably not singing, “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” or “Happy” on the inside.

Approaching a person happily and then fleeing from the same person angrily is not a good trademark to have.

I remember when I started my business at 24 years old. I didn’t know too much about the industry I was in but I remember I had a smile and I had a positive personality that was a great ally in dealing with others. People felt good after engaging with me. At least that is what they told me. I wanted to be pleasant because I didn’t like the alternative. To those not naturally inclined to seeing the glass as half full, you can learn it. After all, if you are going to transact with others, a great logo and a great business card is a great way to brand yourself. You will stand out from others.

What logo or brand do you want for yourself? What would others say is your trademark? Ask three other people if you need to change your personality.

If you’re the hard-boiled egg type, here’s great encouragement for you.

Can an egg fly? Yes…after it’s transformed! Transformation starts with information that turns into revelation, through illumination, which is going to require some imagination and perspiration. The revelation comes from God. The perspiration comes from you!

AAF suspends play after Dundon pulls funding

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

Despite opening the season with high hopes of becoming a feeder league for the NFL, the AAF suspended operations April 2.

Officials of the AAF informed the players of the suspension of league play in a letter from its board of directors, noting that it would attempt to “restructure” the league and seek new investors.

While the letter did not provide a reason for the decision, reports have stated the league needs a minimum of $20 million to complete its first season, and Tom Dundon, the league’s majority owner and chairman, opted to pull funding.

Dundon invested $250 million into AAF in February, essentially becoming chairman of the league. Prior to that, AAF had financial issues early in the first weeks of the new league.

Staff and employees of the teams were paid through April 3 and players were free to contact NFL or other teams for employment as of April 4.

According to an email sent out by the league, “Over the last year, we have been able to realize some amazing accomplishments. We launched a football league, a ground breaking sports technology and APP, and established production and broadcast arrangements to air our content on major networks. Together we created some incredible moments for football and our fans. We are very proud of what we accomplished and appreciate the contributions each of you made during that process.

“Unfortunately, after careful consideration, the board has decided to suspend operations of the Alliance of American Football, effective immediately. As part of this process, we expect to keep a small staff on hand to seek new investment capital and restructure our business. Should those efforts prove successful, we look forward to working with many of you on season two. As a follow up to this communication, we will reach out to the personnel who will be involved in that continuation effort.”

Locally, the Arizona Hotshots, who

were tied for first place in the Western Conference with the San Antonio Commanders at 5-3, released the following statement: “On behalf of all of us with the Arizona Hotshots organization, we were shocked and incredibly disappointed to learn of the board’s decision to suspend football operations. Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian delivered a quality football product that fans nationally were watching on TV and online.

“While all startups encounter some challenges, we believed ours could be addressed in the offseason, after a successful completion of our first season.

We are grateful to all our players, coaches, staff, corporate partners and, most of all, our fans.”

Former AAF players and fans were shocked, too.

“It’s always been my dream to play in the NFL, but this is one step closer to get to the NFL. I’m just taking a different route,” Orlando Apollos running back D’Ernest Johnson during a press conference. “I just want to play football and this league was giving me that opportunity.”

Another player, Birmingham Iron linebacker Beniquez Brown added his feelings about the end of the league.

“When you get the game taken away

from you, you don’t take anything for granted,” Brown said. “Maybe before when you were big time in college, you kind of took the game for granted.

But you realize how important the game is, how much you love it, when you don’t have it. Every day I was away from the game was hard, because you didn’t know if you’d

play again.”

Orlando Apollos head coach Steve Spurrier criticized the league after the announcement.

“Everyone was led to believe that the Alliance was well funded and we could play three years without making and money and this, that and the other. Obviously, everything that was said was not very truthful,” he said.

Local fans outside Sun Devil Stadium April 3 were upset to learn the league had folded.

“All I know is this team and league was a lot of fun to attend,” Phoenix resident Donald Ruiz said, wearing a Wolford jersey. “We actually had a winning team in Arizona, so what else could you ask for?”

Another fan, Johnathan Walters of Surprise, was also upset to hear about the possible end of the league.

“I hope they do find someone to fund this league,” Walters said. “I love having football to watch and attend.”

Ebersol and Polian said the league was expecting losses during the first two seasons, but had hoped to break even by season three.

“I’m extremely disappointed,” AAF co-founder and former NFL executive Bill Polian said. “On the one hand it was kind of our wildest fantasies come

true. It all came true and now it’s all come crashing down.”

The Orlando Apollos lead the league with a 7-1 record and first place in the East Division, while Arizona Hotshots and San Antonio Commanders were tied for first in the West Division at 5-3.

Ebersol released his own statement: “My thanks go out to all who made our football product so competitive and professional. I am certain there are many among them destined for future success in the NFL and I look forward to doing all I can to help them in their quest.”

He added that both he and Polian thought the league had a strong future.

“Unfortunately, (Dundon) has elected this course of action. I am extremely disappointed to learn Dundon has decided to suspend all football operations of the (AAF). When Dundon took over it was the belief of my cofounder, Charlie Ebersol, and myself that we would finish the season, pay our creditors and make the necessary adjustments to move forward in a manger that made economic sense for all.”

The Hotshots were the second ranked offense and were led by quarterback John Wolford and running back Jhurell Pressley, who were two of the top offensive players in the league, defensive back Erick Daragan, who was third in the league in tackles, and linebacker Steven Johnson, who had three interceptions.

So where to the players and staff go from here?

Some NFL teams will take a look at some of the players and more will take a look at the Canadian Football League, which begins its 61 season May 19 when training camps open.

Hotshot’s staff sent one last message to fans via social media April 3, stating, “Thank you for believing in us. It was with great pride that we represented the wildland firefighters who gave us our name. There is nothing we could ever do to thank them and their families enough, and everyone in the organization will carry their memories with us wherever we go.”

So, naturally Burr wanted to let Esmay know when the White Sox selected his contract from the Charlotte Knights, Chicago’s Triple-A International League affiliate, and called him up on August 22 last season. He made his debut the next day.

Of course, Esmay would have rather stayed in Tempe for Burr’s final ASU season and beyond.

But with 22 College World Series appearances, five national championships and five runner-up finishes, few college baseball programs come with the high expectations ASU faces.

From Barry Bonds, who holds the career and single-season major league record for home runs, to “Mr. October”

Reggie Jackson, the school has churned out a long list of baseball stars.

Tracy Smith, ASU’s current skipper, was under fire after back-to-back losing seasons before the Sun Devils raced out to a 25-1 start going into a game against Long Beach State on April 2.

“It’s not easy, there are a lot of expectations,” Esmay said of the ASU job.

“There’s a lot of pressure on you from Day One.” Esmay and Burr have moved on, but they still share another tie beyond the White Sox – ASU. Esmay also played for the Sun Devils and was an assistant coach before he was promoted to the head-coaching position for the 2010 season. And Burr will continue to make his offseason home in the Phoenix area.

“This is where I call home now,” Burr said. “This is where I want to start my family.

Skyhawks aiming for beach volleyball playoff return

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

With the final two matches of the season fast approaching, Deer Valley’s beach volleyball team is aiming for a return to the playoffs.

“Our program has grown tremendously because we have players that return each year, and we have new talent from our strong indoor program that play beach as well,” head coach Kathryn Coleman said. The team was formed just three seasons ago.

“As a coach (and parent), I understand that they play club volleyball during our spring season, so my philosophy for the team is to play competitively while having fun. So far we have been able to maintain this balance.”

The Skyhawks, who lost in the first round of the playoffs last season, were launched into this season with high hopes, but Coleman admitted the team has continued to struggle.

“It’s always a challenge for us to work around the player’s club schedules,” Coleman said. “They travel during the spring to qualify for Nationals, so we

either need to play without the full team or reschedule our matches.”

The Skyhawks have been led by junior Savannah Davis, who has been on the team since its inception, and sophomore Carsyn Schuch.

“Since we try to keep the same pairs

together, we have seen a huge improvement in the player’s overall play,” Coleman said. “They get better every match.

We have a young team with quite a few freshmen who have been competitive against bigger schools with minimal experience, so I anticipate great things in the years to come.”

The Skyhawks are seniors Daiya Jovel and Bree Rudolph; juniors Kaitlin Brown, Davis, Savannah Padilla and Klaydia Poliscchk; sophomores Ashlynn Comp, Schuch, Avrey Dunn, Katie Foran and Allison Howard; and freshmen Alana Barajas, Taylor Chadwick, Emee Fellens, Lily Gentz, Gabby Gloria, Santana Marquez and Liz Rupp.

The girls opened the season with a sweep of Valley Vista. They then rolled off three matches with Coleman calling the turning point in their season was when they defeated Chaparral 4-1 March 27.

“I think that the turning point for us this season was the section win Deer Valley sophomore Avery Dunn tips the ball over as a Sandra Day O’Connor defender tries to block the ball.

against Chaparral,” Coleman said. “We won 4-1 and most of the games went to three sets. Our team really came together for this match and the pairs got better from this experience.”

With two matches remaining this season (April 11 against Desert Mountain and April 17 against Mountain Ridge), Deer Valley is ranked No. 11. The top 16 make the playoffs.

Section IV has six of eight teams ranked in the top 11 as of April 8, with Xavier at No. 1, Boulder Creek at No. 4, Sandra Day O’Connor at No. 5 and Sunnyslope at No. 8. Deer Valley has lost to three of those teams (Xavier, O’Connor and Sunnyslope).

Coleman said the program’s growth has been better than expected. With numerous players returning each season, it has also inspired more new faces to try out for the team.

After qualifying for the playoffs for the first time in their second season, Coleman said the Skyhawks’ ultimate goal is always the postseason, but also much more for the growth of the team.

“Qualifying for state playoffs was a really good experience for us, as it validated how strong our program is becoming,” Coleman said. “Sending our top pair was good, too. Beach volleyball is exploding all over the state and I am glad that we were able to start the program at Deer Valley. My goal will be to continue growing the program and players fostering the love for the game.”

Deer Valley will complete the regular season with a home game against Desert Mountain on April 11 and an away game at Mountain Ridge on April 17.

The playoffs begin April 23.

Coyotes proud but disappointed to miss playoffs

BY SAM FICARRO Cronkite News

It’s been just a few days since the Arizona Coyotes’ season ended after falling just short of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Boasting the league’s second-longest playoff drought, the team was eliminated from playoff contention April 4 during their penultimate game of the regular season.

The Colorado Avalanche grabbed the final playoff spot in the Western Conference, finishing four points ahead of the Coyotes.

Coyotes General Manager John Chayka described the mood as “bittersweet” having fallen just short of the playoffs but was also proud of the team for overcoming adversity all season.

“I’m proud of the guys. The season they had, the progress they made, these guys worked hard every single night and they really established an identity and a culture,” Chayka said. “This was the first year that felt like there was a real team environment and everyone was pulled in the same direction.

That’s the start of something you can build a foundation off of.”

The margins in the National Hockey League are razor thin and that’s the source of disappointment for Chayka.

“If you get your four points, you have a chance to play for the Stanley Cup and that’s what really getting into the playoffs mean. That’s why we do the work and why these guys work hard all summer to prepare for the season and get a chance,” Chayka said. “There’s been eight seeds that have won before.

I think this team would have been a good playoff team had they been able to get in, but that’s just the next step for us.”

The Coyotes battled injuries all season, finishing third in the NHL in man games lost to injury and leading the NHL in points lost in the standings due to injuries, according to mangameslost. com.

With all the injuries, the Coyotes struggled to score goals, finishing tied for third worst, averaging 2.55 goals per game despite finishing tied for fifth in goals allowed per game (2.68 goals) and tied for the best penalty kill at 85 percent.

Chayka believes an increase in scoring is the next step the Coyotes need to take to get over the hump.

“We need to score more goals. Any

time someone’s going through and trying to diagnose what you need to do to take the next step, that’s not the complicated part,” Chayka said. “What we need to really understand and work through is how do we score more goals? How do we create more offense while maintaining that fundamental foundation with being a good, stingy defensive team?”

Chayka will look at external options but believes there’s potential within the current group for growth who can perform better offensively.

Arizona finished the season as the only team in the league to not have a 20-goal scorer, as Alex Galchenyuk and Brad Richardson finished with a team-high 19 goals. Center Derek Stepan, who finished the season playing on a torn MCL, is disappointed that they missed the playoffs but was proud of the team’s work ethic.

“This group came in and worked hard every single day. That’s something you can hang your hat on. I think it’s a real silver lining,” Stepan said.

“The energy this group brought, the work ethic, how we played as a team

… each time we won, it was a team win. We were getting production from pretty much every guy.

“I believe if you miss the playoffs, it’s a disappointing year and I firmly still feel that way. This group feels that way. We’re disappointed we weren’t able to get in. We have to keep building.”

A big reason for the Coyotes staying in the playoff hunt was the play of goalie Darcy Kuemper.

Kuemper was unhappy with his game and sat down with Tocchet and goaltending coach Corey Schwab to discuss ways to improve his game.

After that meeting, Kuemper was among the best goalies in the league.

Since January 1, Kuemper sported a goals against average of 2.05.

After making a career-high 55 starts, including a run of 21 consecutive starts, Kuemper was ready to reflect on his season.

“It’s definitely something to build

off of. It was a lot of fun getting out there and playing consistently,” Kuemper said. “It’s a lot more fun than sitting on the bench, so I just want to keep building off of it and keep improving.

As well as the season might have went, we still came up just a little bit short, so I think we all have to have big summers and push each other to get over the hump.”

Head coach Rick Tocchet said there was a feeling of dejection among the team for missing the playoffs but he believes the team is moving in the right direction.

“For me, it was another level that we brought ourselves to. We squeezed a lot from some players and that’s the one thing I’m proud of. Overall, the team bought in what we were preaching which is another positive,” Tocchet said. “We have a lot of pushing to do this summer, but overall I’m really proud of the players. I’ve got to really give them a lot of credit. They really showed me a lot and I’m proud of them and I’m more excited than ever to come back next year.”

Dance performance breaks through taboos

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Glendale Star Staff Writer

Bridgette Borzillo said high schools have changed since her teenage years.

“Seeing the rise in suicide rates, I recall growing up and not having (known) anybody who committed suicide when I was in school,” Borzillo said. “I see that as an interesting anomaly.”

Inspired by her experience and the struggles young adults endure, the Gilbert resident provided a stage for conversation.

CaZo Dance Company’s artistic director, Borzillo is bringing “You Are Not Alone” to the Mesa Arts Center stage on Friday, April 19. The production explores the high school experiences of its characters and touches bullying, suicide, first love and identity. Although “You Are Not Alone” is a rehearsed performance, it was formed from the stories of its dancers.

Borzillo said she was inspired by the dancers and their experiences.

“I wanted my dancers to be really involved in this piece, so I gave them all questionnaires to fill out about their high school experience,” Borzillo said.

“I decided to take pieces from each of those questionnaires and put them into the show.”

Borzillo wants to break through the

“You Are Not Alone” is intended to create a conversation about the struggles teenagers and young adults face in high school.

topics that are considered “taboo” and get the audience to talk about the problems that are highlighted in the performance.

A piece called “Boys in the Streets,”

Borzillo said, centers around a young man trying to find his identity.

“It’s about coming out but being afraid to because your parents are ashamed if you are gay,” Borzillo said.

The piece was choreographed by and inspired by dancer Dominque Bailey.

“This is probably one of the most emotional pieces I’ve ever choreographed,” Bailey said.

An ASU student, Dominque Bailey attended Raymond S. Kellis High School in Glendale, where he resides.

During his high school years, Bailey said he was reluctant to talk to his family about his identity.

“I grew up with my mom and my sister, and we were a close family,” he said. “My biggest fear was telling them and no longer accepting me. Eventually I did tell them, and nothing changed.”

Bailey said his piece shares his fear.

He showed his mother the performance.

Bridgette Borzillo surveyed the dancers about their high school experiences. She based the story on what the dancers shared.

“I had my mother come in and take a look at the piece to just see her perspective on it,” Bailey said. “It was a really touching moment for me because she actually cried. She couldn’t stop hugging me.”

Bailey said many can relate to “You Are Not Alone.” Bailey’s colleague, Keanna Agustin of Mesa, said she is hoping for a strong audience reaction.

A Westwood High School graduate, Agustin said everyone has a story to tell. It can be hard for individuals to speak about their problems, so she’s pleased about “You Are Not Alone.”

“Being able to put personal experiences into one shell really means a lot.

Not only to myself but maybe to another dancer because maybe they are telling their story and someone will be able to relate,” Agustin said.

Dancer Allison McSpadden said she spent a while talking about her relationship and heartbreak experiences.

Being part of the dance performance really helped her express herself emotionally.

“There are people out there who love and support you and they’re always going to be there for you, no matter what decisions you make or what experiences you go through,” said McSpadden, a Mesa resident.

In addition, Borzillo said “You Are Not Alone” is donating proceeds to the JEM Foundation, a group dedicated to preventing suicide.

Borzillo said “You Are Not Alone” is meant to create a safe environment where topics are free of judgment.

“It is such an emotional show and it’s going to touch a lot of people,” McSpadden said. “It will bring them back to what they went through that you are not alone.”

“You Are Not Alone”

When: Various times Friday, April 19, and Saturday, April 20 Where: Mesa Arts Center’s Nesbitt/ Elliott Playhouse, 1 E. Main Street, Mesa Cost: $45 VIP; $26 adults; $21 students with ID; free for children 2 and younger Info: 480-644-6500, mesaartscenter.com

Pharmacist offers tips on taking daily medications

BY MUNA JAMA

are some helpful tips for you:

Glendale Star Guest Columnist

Chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, lung disease, cancer, diabetes and asthma are among the most common and costly health problems in Arizona.

As a pharmacist, I fill hundreds – even thousands – of prescriptions each week. This may seem like a lot – but now consider that about 50 percent of chronic patients fail to take their daily medications as prescribed. According to the CDC, non-adherence can lead to higher rates of hospital admissions, poorer health outcomes, increased morbidity and mortality, and increased health care costs to the patient and the health care system.

That’s why I’m proud to work at Walgreens, where we’re issuing a nationwide Wake Up Call to raise awareness of the risks associated with not taking medications as prescribed, and to help our customers never miss a day of their medication.

Some people may have challenges. As a pharmacist, I’m a member of the support team, with advice and tools that help overcome the barriers to adherence such as getting to the pharmacy on time, understanding their prescription or being forgetful. Here

Win 2 FREE tickets for dinner & show to:

Prep your pills

Find a pill box that suits your needs and get organized. Pill boxes are a great way to group your medications together by time of day and ensure you don’t forget a single dosage. They’re also easy to transport in a purse or bag when you’re on the go (just don’t leave them overexposed to extreme heat or sunlight).

Set up reminders

Whether it’s an alarm on your mobile phone or free tools like Walgreens Pill Reminder via the Walgreens app, it’s easy to remember when to take your medications with a pre-programmed cue. Research shows that patients using pill reminders were more likely to take their medications correctly.

Simplify refills

If you have multiple prescriptions, make the refill process easier by switching to a 90-day supply or setting up automatic refills. We’re also expanding a complimentary program called

Save a Trip Refills, which coordinates your prescription refill schedule to a single pick up date, working with your doctors and insurance providers. That means you can save time and money on trips to the pharmacy.

Educate yourself and ask questions

Knowledge is power, and pharmacists are a fantastic resource when it comes to better understanding your medications including side effects and drug-to-drug or drug-to-food interactions. If you have a question or concern, don’t be afraid to speak up and talk to your pharmacist. At Walgreens, Muna Jama is a local Walgreens pharmacist.

For more information on Walgreens pharmacy services talk to any Walgreens pharmacist or find out more online at walgreens.com/pharmacy.

you can talk to us at no cost in store or via the app’s Pharmacy Chat service, 24/7.

Consider prescription delivery

If you find yourself unable to make a trip to the pharmacy, you can order your refills to come directly to you. For example, Walgreens Express gives patients the option of prepaying and picking up prescriptions in a dedicated line or getting their eligible medications delivered to their homes.

One of the most rewarding things about being a pharmacist is caring for patients and their families. That doesn’t just mean giving out prescribed medicines, but also helping our customers to take them correctly, which can help them enjoy a healthier and better quality of life.

Culver’s giving ‘Scoops of Thanks’

The Glendale Star

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF

Students at the Delta High School FFA Chapter in Muncie, Indiana, are continuously looking for opportunities to develop their agricultural knowledge through hands-on learning. As a youth organization, this FFA chapter and the more than 8,630 others across the country work tirelessly to grow the next generation of leaders in the science, business and technology of agriculture.

But funding isn’t always available to support the types of experiences that FFA chapters need to offer to their members. That’s why Scoops of Thanks Day, a fundraiser hosted at Culver’s restaurants across the country on Thursday, May 2, is so important.

On May 2, guests can stop by Culver’s at 5127 N. 99th Avenue, donate $1 to agricultural education and re-

ceive a single scoop of Fresh Frozen Custard as our way of saying thanks.

All donations go to local agricultural education efforts.

“Every dollar really does count on Scoops of Thanks Day,” said Jessie Kreke, senior marketing manager at Culver’s. “FFA members are changing the world, and we’re so excited to host this fundraiser on May 2 to support them and other young people interested in agriculture!”

Since the first Scoops of Thanks day in 2015, Culver’s has donated more than $230,000 from the fundraiser to agricultural organizations like the Delta FFA Chapter. This chapter in particular used their $900 donation to purchase engines that helped the students prepare for a career development event focused on agricultural technology and mechanical systems.

Scoops of Thanks Day is part of Culver’s Thank You Farmers Project, which supports agricultural education efforts that focus on smart farming practices. To date, the Thank You Farmers Project has raised over $2 million in support of the National FFA Organization and Foundation, local FFA chapters and a variety of local agricultural organizations.

Business Briefcase

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Hello, readers! And welcome back to Business Briefcase. Again, I will waste no time getting into today’s column.

Rather than grand openings, today I will bring to you news of a community business that is expanding elsewhere in the West Valley, a new person overseeing a business’ West Valley district.

Then, I’ll switch over to our friends at the chamber of commerce, where several recurring events are returning.

Here’s the news!

Next, Eric Bushamie, general manager/partner for Arrowhead Harley-Davidson, is expanding to Goodyear. Under construction near Pebble Creek Parkway and McDowell Road, just off I-10, a 20,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art sales and service facility, Roadrunner Harley-Davidson, is expected to open by fourth quarter 2019. Construction will leave room to expand with an additional building, more parking and a Harley-Davidson riding academy for training.

“We look forward to delivering our award level of service from Roadrunner Harley-Davidson, our new Goodyear location, to the entire community,” said Bushamie, who has been with the Arrowhead location for more than 15 years.

“I’ve watched Goodyear grow at a very fast rate while watching our customer base in the area expand,” added the former U.S. Air Force veteran and former Luke Air Force Base airman.

“It’s time we do this for the riders that reside or commute to the Southwest Valley. The whole team is excited to get the doors open providing all products and services to our riding family for all surrounding areas. This is long overdue; we look forward to serving.”

Arrowhead Harley-Davidson is at 16130 N. Arrowhead Fountains Center Drive in Peoria, but near Glendale. For more information, visit roadrunnerharley.com or arrowheadharley.com.

Moving along, Christine Dryden has been appointed as manager of Wells Fargo’s West Valley Central district, which includes Glendale and Peoria, among other West Valley areas. In her new position, the former White Mountains district manager will

oversee 92 team members across eight branches. She has been with Wells Fargo for nearly three decades, during which she transitioned from being a teller in Omaha, Nebraska, to roles as branch manager, branch manager vice president and district manager.

Switching focus, the Glendale Chamber of Commerce will hold a Business After Hours at Kawaii Sushi and Asian Cuisine. It will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, April 18. This monthly event is perfect for networking and meeting the local business community.

Be sure to bring business cards and/or fliers/brochures for your company. Admission costs $20 for chamber members or $60 for future members. Early registration is free if signed up by the prior Monday. For more information, call 623-937-4754. Kawaii Sushi and Asian Cuisine is at 6530 W. Happy Valley Road, Suite 112.

A week later, from 7 to 9 a.m.

Wednesday, April 24, the chamber will host its weekly Business Over Breakfast event. Another good networking opportunity, this one will be held at Old Country Buffet, 17125 N. 79th Avenue. The first half hour is dedicated to check-in and networking, while the next hour and a half is the actual program. It is recommended that, again, guests bring business cards, flyers or other promotional material.

Attendance costs $20 for members and $60 for future members. Quarterly registration is $125. For more information, contact Carri Kaufman at 623937-4754 or ckaufman@glendaleazchamber.org.

That’s all the briefs for this week.

The AAP is part of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan covering the five years ending with FY 2019-2020 and addresses strategic implementation for Glendale. In addition, the Maricopa HOME Consortium (HOME Consortium), comprised of the Cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, Peoria, Scottsdale, Surprise, and Tempe, the Town of Gilbert, and the County of Maricopa, will prepare and submit an AAP for the HOME Program. The Annual Action Plans must be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on or before May 15, 2019. The Glendale City Council intends to conduct a public hearing regarding the City’s proposed AAP at the April 23, 2019, City Council meeting, at 5:00 p.m. Maricopa County will hold a separate public hearing on the HOME Consortium’s proposed AAP.
