Having not been given a raise in 12 years, councilmembers are moving forward with plans to change the city charter and potentially increase council compensation.

The change, which could give raises to the mayor and councilmembers, will be reviewed by a committee of citizens.

Councilman Ray Malnar, who represents the Sahuaro District, suggested council make the committee an annual or semi-annual group that reviews compensation.

“I think we lack a process,” Malnar said.

“I believe there should be a mechanics that, every so many years – or what council decides – there should be a committee formed

to review this. It needs to be put in our charter.”

But Ocotillo Councilwoman Jamie Aldama wondered why Malnar even posed the change to the charter.

“Are you asking for a review and creation of a policy because we lack one, or do you believe council needs an increase in current salary?” Aldama asked.

Malnar responded, “I am asking to form a committee to make recommendations on salary and the process to look into the future.”

He added, “I am not asking for a pay increase. I am looking to create a committee to look at the process and allow them to see if we need one.”

Fitzer named development services director

According to the city charter, “A salary commission may be appointed by the city council (and) the commission shall be composed of five members, none of which are city employees or city-elected officials.”

It also adds that the commission “shall conduct a review of the rates of pay for elected city officials. Such review by the commission shall be made for the purpose of determining and providing the pay levels appropriate to the duties and responsibilities of the offices.”

After the commission makes its recommendations, “the commission may hold public hearings to aid it in its work. The commission shall submit to the city council a report of the results of the review conSEE PAY PAGE 3

The city of Glendale’s lengthy search for a new development services director has finally come to a conclusion, with Eric Fitzer having been hired to fill the vacancy left by Sam McAllen’s retirement in January.

Fitzer brings to Glendale 14 years of experience in the public sector, including five years as the city of Surprise’s community services director.

“Glendale has been on my watch list for a long time,” Fitzer said in a recent interview. “The city has a ton of potential. The downtown is historic and interesting and has a ton of potential.”

velopment projects in Surprise as well as providing oversight for the city’s first Arts and Culture Master Plan and supporting the successful operation of Ottawa University in Surprise.

“Eric’s commitment to efficiency and his track record of driving creative solutions and engaging partners for a successful outcome aligns perfectly with Glendale’s economic development goals,” Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps said. “His senior leadership role in Surprise has shown him to be highly effective with bridging the gap of understanding between those we serve and the technical and political experts within the city.”

In his new role, Fitzer will oversee building safety, code compliance and planning divisions. The development services department, which manages investment and growth, is the chief regulatory agency for the city. It ensures the city’s built environment meets residents’ expectations.

“The Loop 101 corridor is poised for office development and/or entertainment and the New Frontier District brings fresh opportunities for industrial growth,” Fitzer said. “Westgate’s mixeduse model brings unique housing and entertainment options to the city. I lived in

Three issues the city faces that he wants to focus on are community development, growing jobs and retaining workers.

“It is important to continually modernize ordinances, processes, procedures and policies,” Fitzer said. “I’m a very customer service-focused individual, and I am always looking for efficiencies

and ways to improve the customer experience. That means examining internal processes and interactions between city departments, as well as how we are serving the citizens and external stakeholders.”

He added that he also looks forward to sparking job growth, keeping citizens in the area.

“I also want to work on growing jobs through new and expanded development,” Fitzer said. “We need to retain the talent being produced in Glendale and the entire West Valley, and that means providing employment opportunities in all areas, including skilled trade work and executive level positions – the entire gamut of employment.”

Fitzer, who begins his position on April 22, is eager to work closely with city councilmembers to continue the growth the city has seen over the past few years.

“I foresee a lot of potential growth, especially in areas such as the New Frontier District, Loop 101 area, and the potential for infill,” Fitzer said. “From my perspective, it’s the job of the city to make sure we are producing quality growth that meets the wants and needs of the City Council and the citizens they represent.”

ducted by the commission of the offices subject to this section together with its recommendations.”

Glendale has no set timetable for a commission to review council pay. Other cities, like Peoria and Phoenix, review compensation in even years.

The proposed committee would review all the information and conduct a review of the rates of pay for elected city officials.

The committee’s review and recommendations would be made for the purpose of determining and providing the pay levels appropriate to the duties and responsibilities of the offices, and would be required to hold public hearings to help review compensation.

The committee, if created, Aldama said, wouldn’t necessarily grant councilmembers pay increases. Rather, it would serve as a mechanism for discussions regarding compensation moving forward.

“While we may be behind in salary we are not asking for an increase, just a mechanism to review it,” Aldama clarified.

All requests from the committee would be required to be brought back to council, which may accept, reject or modify the recommendations. Any proposed increase in council salaries must be approved by voters during the following election. Any salary increase would become effective immediately after voter approval.

“I like the idea, since it has been 12 years,” Vice Mayor Joyce Clark said. “I like a committee being formed to look at the process.”

Council ultimately gave consensus for the process to be created. Discussions will continue when final approval is sought at a future meeting.

Lawmakers looking to consolidate school districts

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Saying too much money is wasted on duplication, state lawmakers took the first steps earlier this month to force consolidation of the more than 200 school districts in the state.

And the combinations could occur without voter approval.

The proposal by Rep. John Fillmore, R-Apache Junction, would eliminate any separate elementary and high school districts that now exist. Instead, they automatically would become unified districts no later than July 1, 2024.

But HB 2139, approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on a 6-3 party-line vote, does not stop there.

It would require every school board in the state to annually determine how much money could be saved by not just unification but also with consolidation with other adjacent districts.

In fact, it spells out that in the smaller population counties, those with just three supervisors, there could be no more than three school districts. Most counties with five supervisors could have up to seven districts; Maricopa

623.939.8836

County could have no more than 20.

Fillmore’s bill provides a carrot for governing boards that can come up with their own consolidation plans without taking it to voters, allowing them to spend more money than would otherwise be allowed for up to three years.

But balking appears not to be an option.

HB 2139 says if the governing boards don’t come up with a plan by June 30, 2022, to unify and consolidate, then the county school superintendent is directed to come up with a plan. And it spells out that any such plan “shall be executed without an election.”

The issue, Fillmore said, comes down to dollars and cents.

“When people have said to me that schools have more money, I’ve always had the quick comeback (that) they have enough money,” he said. “What we need to do is have them spend it a little bit more wisely.”

Fillmore, who is a business owner, said it comes down to running the state education system more like that.

“If we did some consolidation, got rid of the redundancy, duplication and excess waste in the districts, we could have the opportunity to save ... I believe hundreds of millions of dollars,” he said. In fact, he prepared his own study pegging the total savings at $506 million out of about $7.8 billion now spent each year in state and local funds for operation and maintenance.

Fillmore said this isn’t just a way of cutting state spending, saying his legislation would allocate 25% of whatever is saved for teacher salaries.

What is bothering some of the foes – and even some of the supporters – is the mandate.

Sen. Sean Bowie, D-Tempe, said voters in his area have made decisions about how they want their schools organized. He said there are some unified school districts as well as a high school district and several elementary districts, with voters in some areas preferring smaller districts versus huge unified districts.

“I would be concerned about circumventing voters and circumventing the taxpayers when they’ve clearly made decisions of whether they want to be unified or not unified,” Bowie said.

Sen. Heather Carter, R-Cave Creek, said she has no problem with the idea of having school boards study the benefits of consolidation. But Carter, who

agreed to support the measure on April 2, said she won’t vote for it when it gets to the floor if the mandates remain.

Monica Allread, Deer Valley Unified School District’s director of communications and community engagement, said the district will examine it should the bill pass.

“This could be quite costly for school districts to do a yearly analysis and would likely lead to lawsuits between school systems, especially those being annexed,” Allread said.

And Peoria Unified School District’s chief communications officer, Danielle Airey, said her district is keeping tabs on bills in discussion at the Legislature.

“We’ll better be able to evaluate the financial impact if and when they’re signed into law,” Airey said. “(HB 2139) in particular would present significant logistical challenges for many districts and could have some costly repercussions.”

Glendale Elementary School District’s director of community engagement, Jim Cummings, pointed toward a similar bill, rejected by voters in 2009. Citing studies that determined a high cost to merge districts, along with minimal savings after the fact, he questioned why lawmakers would ignore voters who prefer locally controlled schools.

“Glendale voters rejected the (2009) proposal by the greatest margin in the state. There is nothing whatsoever to indicate that voters feel differently,” Cummings expressed.

But he acknowledged little is known at this stage as to how the bill could ultimately affect individual districts.

“As with all legislation the devil is in the details, which are still emerging,” he said.

Fillmore said the mandate is only partly true.

“In my bill, I’ve given them the opportunity to go out for a vote if they want to,” he said, with the financial reward of consolidation and unification without going through that process.

But Fillmore said that it’s going to take more than a simple nudge to get the desired results.

He pointed out there already are opportunities for school districts to unify and consolidate. And there even are some financial incentives for those who pursue that path.

“But they don’t,” he said.

Efforts to force the issue have been discussed for more than a decade.

In 2001, for example, a Senate panel approved a measure creating an independent commission empowered to consolidate the more than 200 school districts in the state to no more than 90. Those that refused would be denied state aid.

It died after drawing fire from officials from some smaller districts who argued with the presumption that small is bad and wasteful.

Five years later a special School District Redistricting Commission created by the Legislature proposed at least forcing a vote in each district on consolidation. But that failed to produce the desired results.

But Sen. Vince Leach, R-Tucson, said it is worth pursuing what Fillmore is proposing.

He said there is little evidence that the state – and the students – are better served with more than 200 districts, citing the experience in Utah, which has half as many districts, spends less per student and still has higher test scores.

Fillmore said if the consolidation takes place it will be a net political benefit.

“After my bill is done and these schools are consolidated and they’ve saved that money, that argument can never be used by people like me as a Republican that the schools have too much money because the schools will have made the adjustments necessary,” he said.

The measure now goes to the Senate where it faces an uncertain future.

Arizona Christian University hotel showcases services

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

After numerous years in Glendale, the re-branded Arizona Christian University Hotel and Conference Center, located on the school’s new campus, is looking to expand its reach in the Valley.

Managed and operated by Sodexo, a food services and facilities management company, a 15-year, multi-million dollar contract is planned to reinvent the new 70-acre hotel.

Despite being located on the university campus, the hotel is open to anyone looking for a room, noted Shana Van Atta, conference services manager.

“It will be run separate from the university,” Van Atta said.

But only 110 of the hotel’s 134 rooms are currently available to the public, as one building is being used as a temporary student dorm while new ones are constructed.

“Depending on (ACU) and their construction schedule, we should get those back after a semester or two,” Van Atta added of the student-occupied rooms.

Students are expected to arrive on campus August 1. This is the first year

ACU will take over the former Thunderbird Global School of Global Management.

“We are excited to partner with university leadership to create a customized solution that will meet the needs of its students, faculty and staff,” said John Vitale, Sodexo district manager.

“We are transforming service at ACU and reinventing campus life by coupling national, local and proprietary food

The hotel features a nonheated saltwater pool alongside 30 venues, including the 14,000-square-foot event center.

“We have a total of 40,000 square (feet) of total conference space on property,” Van Atta said. “We have a ballroom and meeting rooms that can accommodate 30, 60 and up to 236 people for meetings.”

The hotel offers a 24-hour coffee bar that is complimentary to all customers, and officials are working on a new café that they hope will be open by August.

Guests would receive a complimentary amount of funds for café use.

“This is an absolutely gorgeous property, it is quiet, and you are going to get a different experience staying here,” Van Atta said. “You can come see the history of the property. We are not Thunderbird anymore; we are ACU. But the history is still here.”

Van Atta said the hotel has been sold out numerous times, including during the 2015 Super Bowl and the Final Four in 2017.

Van Atta added that the ACU Hotel and Conference Center boasts quality

Van Atta said Sodexo has been researching local and national partners to fill six food stations on the new campus’ Commons and Coffee Shop. She added that some of the expected changes include Sodexo’s Simple Servings offer, which caters to customers with allergies and food sensitivities, as well as the newly launched café offering lighter, healthier fare and plant-based options.

“We’re looking forward to a longstanding partnership with Sodexo,” said Len Munsil, president of Arizona Christian University.

Faculty issues no-confidence vote for chancellor

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Maricopa County Community College Faculty Association issued a no-confidence vote for Chancellor Maria Harper-Marinick April 3 after she eliminated an employee bargaining option as well as football. Enrollment is declining, too.

Harper-Marinick hasn’t responded to the faculty association or its president, John Schampel, which he finds “confusing.”

“We have had chronic failures of district employees not getting paid that have been going on for over a year and a half and we are still dealing with the aftermath of that, along with other issues,” Schampel said.

Schampel said one college voting in favor of a VNC is a strong statement about the chancellor’s leadership. The no-confidence vote was approved by the senate colleagues of Glendale, Estrella Mountain, Gateway, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and South Mountain community colleges, as well as Phoenix and Rio Salado colleges.

“Chancellor Harper-Marinick ap-

daughter encountered website issues when she tried to enroll.

“Here it is, over three years later, and we still have issues where students could not see their schedules or enroll in classes,” Schampel added.

Schampel, Faculty Association President-Elect Keith Heffner and former Faculty Association President Michael Mitchell outlined their issues in a letter.

“As we proceed with a vote of no confidence in the leadership of Chancellor Harper-Marinick, we are hearing a number of concerns expressed by faculty,” the letter said.

“Have we exhausted all efforts to avoid a VNC?

governing board’s resolution to eliminate the classified staff council and the collaborative policy to development process.

They also pointed to Harper-Marinick’s failure to publicly defend the residential faculty against the elimination of meet and confer, her willingness to advance “the partisan political agendas of former board members” as well as Harper-Marinick’s failure to prevent “and later rescind an email edict that directly restricts constitutionally and contractually protected speech rights of residential faculty.”

That also chills the speech rights of other employees.

A 30-day, no-fault, no-severance-pay termination clause in employment contracts of college presidents and vice chancellors was implemented.

The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) recently released an independent report concerning the issues of academic governance stemming from the actions of the MCCCD Governing Board as well as Harper-Marinick.

10-year transportation plan discussed by council

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

City Council was updated on the city of Glendale’s 10-year transportation plan during the April 9 workshop.

During the meeting, councilmembers discussed improvement projects and questioned potential future fund expenditures.

The transportation plan, approved in June, identified $104.12 million in projects. Those approved included $78.39 million for street and highway management, $200,000 for transit, $1.56 million for bicycles and pedestrians, $4.92 million for transportation system management, $3.35 million for aviation, and $15.7 million for items such as field ops, vehicle replacement and other issues.

Also approved was $351.47 million for maintenance programs. More specifically, that includes $107.99 million for streets and highways, $87.69 million for transit, $19.64 million for transportation system management, and $136.15 million for other costs including debt payments, indirect costs and others.

According to Glendale police, 31-yearold Anthony Lee Delgadillo was lying on the train tracks near 6300 Northwest Grand Avenue on April 12, when a train began to approach.

Police responded around 3:21 a.m., and emergency medical personnel attempted to render aid. Delgadillo, however, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

The report reviewed the actions when the governing board adopted a resolution on February 27, 2018, that immediately terminated the meet-andconfer provision of the RFP, terminated the RFP as of October 31, 2018, and directed Harper-Marinick to oversee the creation of a new RFP, to be presented for approval at the October meeting of the governing board.

The resolution was adopted by a vote of 4-3. According to the resolution, the new RFP could not contain a meet-and-confer provision and should create “a process of faculty policy development that recognizes the governing board as the final approval authority for all policy matters.”

It also recognizes the faculty’s valuable contribution in the development of policies that pertain to the residential faculty’s essential mission of teaching and learning, not including aspects related to compensation, benefits, accountability and organizational operations.

Forget the tip – pay workers a decent wage

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

Having recently endured another in a long line of lunches with my friend Bad Tipper Guy, I feel compelled to wonder aloud if it isn’t about time that we as a nation phased out the archaic custom of tipping service workers like restaurant servers and valet parkers?

For one thing, tipping creates a business model that screws customers and employees in favor of increasing employer profits. And don’t we all have enough guilt and shame in our lives without piling on still more every time we dine out, visit a coffee shop, ride in an Uber or have a pizza delivered?

Me, I’ve had enough guilt tripping – and guilt tipping – for three lifetimes.

Take the aforementioned lunch. Because I know Bad Tipper Guy will do one of two things when the lunch

check arrives – deliver a dissertation on the 1938 federal Fair Labor Standards Act and sub-minimum wages or simply leave a single crumpled dollar bill on the table – I feel duty bound to offer to pay for lunch.

Sometimes, BTG loudly insists that it’s his turn to buy. Him winning that argument means I have to lag behind as we leave the restaurant, usually by lying about needing to use the restroom.

Then I have to double back to our table and add enough cash to his buck to get us to a 20% tip, minimum.

Why go to all that trouble? Partially it’s my fear of bad karma. But mostly

it’s the years I spent waiting tables for more Bad Tipper Guys and Gals than I care to remember.

I earned $2.13 an hour in those days and was obligated to “tip out” a percentage of each check to the host staff and busboys. If a diner stiffed me or left behind a buck, that meant I actually paid for the privilege of waiting on their table.

A quarter century later, I still go out of my way to tip well, even though I strongly dislike the concept – and the way “tip creep” seems to be impacting more areas of society.

Nowadays, there’s a tip jar on every counter: the bakery, the ice cream shop, the pet groomer, the car wash.

That often leads to customers standing register-side, 53 cents in hand, waiting for the barista to return for the ceremonial dropping of the coins.

Because if a tip falls in a Starbucks and no employee sees it or hears it jingle, was it really a tip at all?

Then there’s the newfound popularity of Square, the app that allows anyone with a dongle and an iPad to take credit cards.

Each Square transaction comes with a gratuity opportunity and suggested amounts – no tip, 15%, 20%, 25% – helpfully precalculated.

Talk about a chance to feel like a grinch.

Now I find myself tipping people for labor-intensive acts like handing over an empty self-serve coffee cup or stuffing a weenie in a hot dog bun.

The latest weird tip request? As of January 1, cheapo airline Frontier has started encouraging tips for flight attendants who sell travelers a prepackaged sandwich or a can of soda.

What’s next? Maybe a dental hygienist with a tip jar next to the tool tray. Or it’ll become customary to start slipping the minister a folded 20 after a particularly moving eulogy. Or, better yet, maybe we will move away from the gratuity model and instead pay people what they’re worth – even if that means a price hike.

I’d rather hear Bad Tipper Guy complain about paying an extra two bucks for his stromboli than listen to him whine one more time about how tipping encourages indentured servitude in 21st century America.

SHELTON’S OPINION – www.cartoons.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What would Theodore Roosevelt do?

Editor, When Donald Trump was elected president, sportsmen had high hopes that the president and his cabinet would commit to, in President Trump’s words, “honoring the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt.” As our 26th president, Roosevelt worked tirelessly to stop special interests from developing and privatizing our public lands and waters, conserving more than 230 million acres by establishing 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reserves, four national game preserves, five national parks and 18 national monuments.

Sportsmen have applauded the administration for some Roosevelt-like actions, such as their proposal to expand hunting and fishing on 10 national wildlife refuges and their calling on

Congress to create a permanent solution to the practice of “fire borrowing.”

Yet we will continue to hold administration officials accountable for pursuing the rollback of conservation protections on millions of acres of national monuments, scrapping collaborative habitat management plans for sage grouse, and not fighting administration proposals to cut popular public access programs like the Land and Water Conservation Fund. These actions threaten to undermine Roosevelt’s legacy, and I join Backcountry Hunters and Anglers in urging the Trump administration to do the right thing and stand up for our public lands.

Comedian visits Glendale with unique stand-up

BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

If you told a young Kevin Bozeman in 1999 that he would become a fulltime, touring, stand-up comedian 20 years later, he probably would not believe it.

“Absolutely not,” he said, laughing.

“I wasn’t even thinking about that.”

Bozeman, who is set to perform at Stir Crazy Comedy Club from Thursday, May 9, to Saturday, May 11, was a recent graduate of University of Wisconsin – Whitewater when he went onstage at an open mic in Madison to prove he could do it.

Always a joker around his friends, Bozeman said he has “a way with words.” He felt he had a unique way of looking at the world, and simply wanted to have his opinions heard.

Bozeman played collegiate basket-

ball at Whitewater, where he unknowingly honed some of his joking skills on the hardwood.

“I was always talking on the court, getting on people’s nerves. There were plenty of them who wanted to fight me, including my own teammates sometimes,” he said.

About a year later, he was watching HBO’s “Def Comedy Jam” with friends when he had an “itch” to get back on the microphone again. Since then, he hasn’t stopped. Much like practicing free throws, the jokester stood on every stage he could find until the art became easier and his act got better.

Since that point he has toured the United States, and performed on television shows such as “Last Comic Standing” and “Hannibal Burress: Handsome Rambler” between hundreds of sets, based out of his home in Chicago.

But, there were bumps along the way. He remembers performing at various sports bars or stages that were not set up well for standup comedy, with televisions and loud music blaring over his act. He struggled through sets that the audience was too far away to comprehend his intimate style of comedy. Those sets have made both his jokes and love for stand-up even stronger.

“It makes me appreciate some of the places I get to perform now even more thinking back,” he said.

Bozeman describes his old style as “mostly observational humor.” Over 20 years, though, he has developed as a man, started a family with his wife and his act has grown because of it.

Pastor Delph: The five love languages of Easter Happy Easter to all of you. If you are a Christ follower, you know April 21 as Resurrection Day. Each Resurrection Day the early church loudly proclaimed, “He has risen. He has risen indeed!”

Easter to them was more than eggs; it was about eternal life and heaven.

It was when love rose from the dead.

Resurrection Day shows us we are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings going through a temporary human experience.

Have you heard about the book “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman? The idea driving this book is that everyone experiences love differently.

That’s why it’s easy for us to miss the mark when it comes to showing that we care. “The Five Love Languages” helps us to give and receive love in more

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Contributing Writer

meaningful ways to each other.

The book reveals five different love languages to which people respond differently. 1. Words of affirmation. 2.

Physical touch. 3. Quality time. 4. Acts of service. 5. Receiving gifts. It’s interesting how often couples assume the love language they respond to is the love language to which their spouse responds.

Let’s say one partner loves to receive affirmation so they shower their partner with affirmation, but affirmation isn’t that important to the other partner. Acts

of service are what flip their switch.

Get the idea? Miscommunication on steroids. Once you discover the other’s love language, speak their language, even though it’s not what you would resonate with. Now you are both speaking a language each one understands.

A-ha!

Here’s an example of how this works you can’t miss, at least where I live in Phoenix. It’s called “The Five Love Languages of Tacos.” Here goes.

Words of affirmation: “Your tacos are delicious.” Acts of service: “I made you tacos.” Receiving gifts: “Here’s a taco.” Quality time: “Let’s go out for tacos together.” Physical touch: “Let me hold you like a taco.”

If your partner’s love language is providing acts of service, speak this: “I made you a taco.” If you are the recipient, your love language to your partner

whose love language is to give words of affirmation should be: “Your tacos are delicious.” That’s communication.

I tried this example on my social media. They went “el taco loco.” At this moment, you must be thinking I am one taco short of a combination plate.

Did you know Jesus spoke all five love languages to us while He was on earth, and still does today?

Consider His words of affirmation about his disciples in John 17:26, when Jesus is praying to God. “But I have known you, and these disciples know that you sent me on this mission. I have made your very being known to them who you are and what you do, and continue to make it known so that your love for me might be in them exactly as I am in them.” Let me paraphrase this. “God, these disciples know you’re a God of love, and you sent me on a mission of

April 18, 2019 love to fill them with love, to go into the world with love. They were born for this and ready to go.” Jesus believed in, loved and affirmed His disciples to God. Consider His physical touch with Apostle John in John 13:23. “One of the disciples, the one Jesus loved dearly, was reclining against him, his head on his shoulder.” John leaned into love and was touched with love. Can you imagine what that was like? The Greek word used for love here is agape, love as God has love in a pure and moral way.

Consider Jesus’ quality time when He raised Lazarus from the dead. Jesus was far and away when He heard that the friend whom He loved, Lazarus, had died. When the time was right, He walked two days to get to Bethany, Lazarus’ burial site. When Jesus saw the situation, He wept. Even Jesus’ critics were amazed: “Look how deeply He loved him.” John 11:36. Jesus changed His itinerary and gave Lazarus, Mary and Martha intense quality time, right in time. When Lazarus came forth from his tomb, love came forth from the tomb.

Consider Jesus’ acts of service when He said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his

friends.” John 15:13. Jesus performed the greatest act of love and service for humankind ever known: He died for our sins. On the cross, God poured all our badness into Jesus, and all of Jesus’ goodness into us. When He died, all our sins died. When He arose, we arose.

“Three nails plus one cross equals four given.”

Finally, consider Jesus’ giving of gifts. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.” John 3:16. Because God loved, He gave the ultimate gift, Jesus Christ, to us. We didn’t deserve it. We didn’t earn it. Love is God’s nature, not performance.

So, there you go, my friends. No matter what your love language is, God has spoken it in Jesus. My advice is: believe it and receive it. “He (and God’s love language) is risen, indeed!”

Hitting just the right note

More than 75 students from across the Glendale Elementary School District performed in the 10th Annual GESD Honor Band concert recently held at Landmark. Under the direction of guest conductor Gabriel Lugo from Apollo High School, our students performed five pieces. From warm-ups to a well-earned standing ovation that ended the show, our students’ performances were nothing short of outstanding. We not only salute our student musicians, but their teachers, who had them well prepared for an excellent performance. The arts play an integral role in the education of our children, and we support them fully in GESD.

Registration for specialty schools runs through May In an effort to provide innovative learning opportunities for all students, continue to increase achievement levels, and offer families greater educational choices, the Glendale Elementary School District will launch six new learning academies for the 2019-20 school year.

The Dual Language Immersion program, already successfully established for kindergarten students and housed at Horizon and William C. Jack, will expand to include first grade students next year. It will be joined by these other programs for the 2019-20 school year: Career Pathway Academy, Landmark This K-8 program will explore career pathways to high school Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. A kindergarten through sixth-grade program will explore career pathways within science and social studies. The seventh- and eighth- grade program will imbed in-school and out-of-school targeted career training through workforce partnerships. It will work similar to the current program established at Landmark.

STEAM Academies, Burton / Coyote Ridge This K-8 program will integrate STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) modules into science and social studies. The sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade program will integrate STEAM electives, or exploratories, into the related arts; for example: coding, drafting, guitar, digital photography. Students also will sample after school academies that will focus on STEAM including, general robotics, Lego League robotics and coding, choir and dance.

Innovative Learning Academies, Sine / Challenger Both schools are Verizon Digital Promise Grant Recipients. Through this program every child in the fourththrough eighth-grades and every certified staff member receives a tablet including network access. Innovative Technology will be integrated into academics across the grades four through eight, and a Makerspace will be available at each school.

Accelerated Academy, Bicentennial North In this seventh-, eighth-grade program, curriculum will be aligned with grade-level standards and GUHSD Advanced Placement (AP) coursework. The goal is to create a pathway to AP classes in GUHSD. Instruction will include the AP Springboard curriculum in English Language Arts, GUHSD Algebra and GUHSD Geometry curriculum.

Apollo’s Prado-Ortiz to step away from softball

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

With 16 seasons to her name as both head softball and varsity girls’ basketball coach, Susan Prado-Ortiz will soon lose one of her titles. The longtime coach will step away from the softball diamond at the end of the season.

“It is just time because I am getting tired,” Prado-Ortiz said. “I am tired of wearing long sleeves, long pants and a mask when I am out in the sun to protect me.”

Some high school coaches are feared and many are admired, but Prado-Ortiz deserves respect for the battle she has faced since 2015. A teacher at Apollo since 1989, Prado-Ortiz has lived by the motto, “Good coaches can change a game, great coaches can change a life.”

She said, “I do not judge my career on wins or losses, but on by the positive impact I have made on my kids and the impact they have all had on me over the years.”

Prado-Ortiz was diagnosed with skin cancer in 2015. She had it removed, but it came back a year later. She went through radiation treatments, and returned to both teams.

“I wasn’t going to let it slow me down,” Prado-Ortiz said. “I thought for sure when it came back I would walk away, but it was a challenge and I was not going to let it take away what I love to do.”

Over her career, Prado-Ortiz has made the playoffs six times, but has never passed the first round of the playoffs. She has compiled a 191-1911 record over the past 16 years (as of April 14).

“Wins and losses are nice, but there is more to coaching than wins on the field,” Prado-Ortiz said. “If I can make a positive impact by teaching, coaching or just being there for them, then I have been a success.”

While her team has been struggling on the diamond this season, it has nothing to do with her stepping away. And she plans to remain the head varsity girls’ basketball coach.

“I love being out on the diamond and being in the sun, wearing this visor,

which I can’t wear inside. It keeps my hair out of my face and I love wearing it,” Prado-Ortiz said while holding up her Apollo visor. “I love being outside, and despite what the sun has done to me, I love being in the sun and fresh air.”

Prado-Ortiz has been battling back since 2014, in addition to cancer due to the death of her mother.

“When I was diagnosed and lost my mom, I thought that was going to be the end of my coaching career. It was tough because my mother was my best friend,” Prado-Ortiz said. “After 2014, I decided I was not going to let that get the best of me, and worked hard to get back.”

Less than a year later, after a chance visit to the doctor, she found out about her cancer.

“I like to believe it was divine intervention because I actually only went to the doctor because my daughter, who

had an appointment scheduled, couldn’t make it because she had gotten a new job,” she said. “He has been our doctor for so long, I just went because I felt if an appointment was scheduled, you should go.”

She was diagnosed with basal and squamous cell cancer, which is the second most common type of skin cancer. Between 200,000 and 250,000 cases are reported per year.

Then she was told they removed all of the cancer. Since then she has undergone numerous cosmetic surgeries to correct the small scars on her face.

Now, she feels her time at the doctor may finally be over.

“I don’t plan on going back to the doctor unless I see something growing on my face,” Prado-Ortiz said. “I figure the man upstairs knows what is going on and I have great faith and I believe that I am good.”

Prado-Ortiz is a product of the Glen-

dale Union High School District, having attended Glendale High School and graduated from Independence.

“Yeah, I have been around the district pretty much my entire life,” Prado-Ortiz said. “My first coaching job was as a volunteer while I was attending Glendale Community College.”

She credits Independence coach Joanna Burton, who was inducted into the Arizona Softball Hall of Fame in 2014, as her mentor, but also credits her assistant coaches over the years.

“I did freshman basketball with Dick Donahue and then did softball with one of the best guys I have ever met, Jeff Anderson,” Prado-Ortiz said. “I coached (Anderson’s) two daughters and he stayed on as one of my assistants for years.”

While she said she didn’t tell the team that she was in fact stepping away, she said they sort of knew, and they have been fighting on the field.

“The girls know. I told them, ‘Let’s make this the best last season for the seniors.’ They are seniors and I am a senior citizen,” Prado-Ortiz said with a chuckle. “We have had a couple of good tournaments this year. Our record is not that great, but that is not why I am leaving.”

As she heads into her final week as head coach, she says she will remain a fixture at Apollo High School.

“I still love what I do and I am very fortunate and blessed that I picked a profession that I still love,” Prado-Ortiz said. “I come in everyday with a smile on my face and when and if I don’t have that desire, that is when I will completely retire. But I don’t see that anytime in my near future.”

Reflecting on her past and thinking about her future, she said she has no regrets.

“I hope I have brought as much joy to every kid I have had contact with as they have brought to me. I hope they are all self-supportive, self-made young women and I hope that I was a good example to them,” Prado-Ortiz said. “If I take my last breath on the basketball court or in the Apollo physical education area, I would be happy because I have had a good life.”

Cactus softball looks to capitalize on talented squad

BY ERIC NEWMAN Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Cactus High softball team walked off the field after a dominating win in early April, but you would not have guessed it by the way the girls walked off the field.

Even after an 11-1 win, ended before the traditional seven innings due to the AIA’s 10-run advantage rule, the Cobras were not happy with their effort.

“We had some errors in base running and some hustle plays,” coach Bartt Underwood said. “I asked them if they thought they played like champions today, and they know they didn’t.”

A championship is the lone goal for the Cobras, who reached the 4A title game last season but came up short, losing 2-0 to Salpointe Catholic.

The game lingers in the minds of players, many of whom returned this season to avenge that loss. Those expectations are why Underwood will still get on players after a double-digit victory.

“We lost four seniors, two starters after last year, and I told the girls they had to step up and take their spots, and

they really have. Now, we just have to take all the steps to keep getting better, and we can’t skip anything if we want to get there again,” Underwood said.

The talent is obvious – through 24 games the Cobras were 22-2, with losses only to 6A Hamilton and California power Millikan High, and 12 wins by

a margin of 10 or more – and a legitimate chance to hoist the 4A trophy this May is not lost on the players.

They want success more than ever before, and the girls know they have the collective skill to do it. However, Cactus was unsure how the 2019 group would mesh.

“That first week we weren’t all on the same page in practice it was a little difficult. But even when that was happening, we were still doing better than a lot of teams,” senior captain Alynah Torres said. “It was kind of promising.”

Now, after setting the lineup and having more time to build chemistry, the girls are having a lot of fun together. This results in less stress during games and easier settling of disagreements during practice.

“I just love this team. I look forward to coming to practice every day with my teammates, and it’s always a good time. Winning is nice, too,” junior Cassandra Elliott said.

Cactus is always looking ahead to the playoffs, with a championship in the back of the players’ minds, even when they are blowing other teams out.

Because of the lopsided scores, Cactus has not had as much chance to simulate close games in tournament play as it might have liked this year. That is why the girls are putting extra pressure on themselves to push their limits in practice.

“Sometimes it’s hard, because we know there are going to be only tough games when the playoffs come. So, we’re just sort of working on what we can do, getting better ourselves, so that when we get there we’re ready,” Torres said.

Underwood said there are still steps to take before the girls reach their full potential as a team. He is more concerned with making sure every girl puts forth their maximum effort.

Regardless of where they end in the standings, celebrating a title or not, he will be proud if the Cobras play how he expects.

“After the final cuts, we’re looking at our varsity roster for the first time, I thought to myself, ‘This is a team that could do it.’ Now we just have to put that together the rest of the season,” Underwood said.

Iration brings new sound to Days on the Green

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Staff Writer

When the reggae-influenced alternative rock band Iration plays Days on the Green Music Festival on Friday, April 19, fans can expect a different experience.

“We have a full horn section to complement the album,” said singer/guitarist Micah Pueschel. “We have a lot of new songs, new material and musicians.”

Iration – which also includes bassist Adam Taylor, drummer Joe Dickens, keyboardist Cayson Peterson, guitarist/ vocalist Micah Brown and trumpeter Drake Peterson – decided on a self-titled album to introduce its new sound.

The 17-track album, the band’s sixth full-length, features guest appearances from Slightly Stoopid, J Boog and Tyrone’s Jacket and the singles “Hit List,” “Fly With Me,” “Danger,” “Borderlines” and latest single “Press Play.”

Iration once again teamed with King David to produce the album.

“We hit a groove as far as working together,” Pueschel said. “As far as the band, we are better at writing with each other. These songs are so varied in the style. There isn’t a coherent line throughout the material. It’s all very unique and different and eclectic.

Iration is, from left, Joe Dickens, Micah Pueschel, Micah Brown, Cayson Peterson and Adam Taylor.

“We’ve always been a very eclectic band and that’s the key for us. We don’t write with any specific genre in mind. I think stylistically, we pursue so many different genres – reggae, pop, rock, even elements of country and hip-hop.”

The horns, Pueschel said, add a different texture to the songs on record

“We didn’t want to be the standard reggae band with horns,” he added.

“We started writing songs with horns in them and we thought we could still do that but be tasteful about it. We didn’t want to force horns on the song.

We put the horns where they could help the song.”

Glendale Girl Scouts honored for community action

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Girl Scouts – Arizona Cactus-Pine Council (GSACPC) recently awarded its most prestigious honor, the Gold Award, to three Glendale girls this year.

The three Glendale girls are among 18 in the Valley to receive the award.

This distinguished award, considered the most difficult to earn, allows Girl Scouts to take action in their communities by tackling an issue they are passionate about and implementing measurable change.

“Recipients of Girl Scouts’ highest honor are part of an elite group of Girl Scouts who have distinguished themselves as prominent leaders in their communities and as true change-makers,” said Tamara Woodbury, CEO for GSACPC. Savannah Hale was recognized for her project, Raising the Barre. A dance enthusiast from a young age, Hale’s project was inspired by her love for her dance program and the desire to create awareness for the arts in public

schools. Noticing her school’s dance shoes and costumes were very old, torn

or broken, she decided to raise money to replace these items and help support

the student Spring Showcase.

She hosted a three-level dance workshop where students from local schools learned challenging routines and dance techniques and collected a small donation from each participant.

Hale successfully revamped the dance equipment for her school. She has been a Girl Scout for 13 years and earned her Silver Award. She plans to major in dance performance at Grand Canyon University to work and teach professionally.

Hannah Suddarth’s project was Children’s Garden. After identifying that the youth program at her community church lacked a space of their own, Suddarth converted an unused space into a garden. The garden was built with raised beds, two small perennial gardens, and tables with umbrellas, to be utilized by all the church’s groups.

In addition, she developed a gardening program for youth to learn about the plants in the garden and those native to

Overcoming homesickness at summer camp

BY EVELYN TORREZ-MARTINEZ Girl Scouts – Arizona Cactus-Pine Council Camp Director

Regardless of how many times a child has been away from home, being away at summer camp can be stressful for parents and campers. The most important thing to know is that preparation – for both the parent and camper – is key.

Camp directors like myself understand that every camper has a different comfort level based on what they have experienced in life with their peers, family, school or other activities. So, the more you prepare with them while in their comfort zone, the better they will respond to feelings of homesickness when they are out of it (like at summer camp or any extended period away from home).

Many people don’t realize that most feelings of homesickness are not problematic and are normal. And homesickness is not just something that the

camper will feel. In fact, parents tend to initiate this emotion even before the camper has arrived at camp. What parents can do to ease these feelings is

coming up with proactive coping skills that will ease their mind when this situation happens. You know your camper better than anyone else, so be cautious

in your approach.

For example, if you say, “If you get homesick, I will come and pick you up right away,” or, “What will I do while you’re gone?” it conveys a message of doubt to your camper and hinders confidence and independence-building. We advise parents to speak confidently and “stay strong as a parent.”

Focus more on listening to your camper, being curious about their thoughts and feelings, and then tell them you are looking forward to hearing all their learnings and stories at the end of the week.

The best remedies for homesickness are two-part. While our camp’s staff is trained to support your camper while they’re away, the most important part of the remedy takes place at home. Create a plan as a family by incorporating these homesickness prevention strategies, focusing on your campers needs: SEE CAMP PAGE 27

CAMP FROM PAGE 26

Preparing your camper to feel more comfortable with the idea of going away for a couple nights will improve their overall experience at camp.

Spending time visiting their new camp, getting to know where your camper will sleep and doing activities will help parents and campers feel at ease.

A great way to introduce Girl Scout Camp is by attending one of our open house events to tour the lodges, visit activity areas, see the cabin units, and meet the staff as well as other campers.

We encourage parents to engage with the camp staff and ask about camp procedures and prepare a routine with their camper while at the facility. By parents and campers also identifying any additional concerns, they can review this as a family, be proactive and prepare for a great experience.

One of the biggest things you can do to ease your campers’ stress before going to camp is to coach them through packing – have your camper pack their own bag and make the decision on what they will need to bring to feel comfortable, like their special blanket, for example. The more independent they are during this first step, the more confident they will be doing things on their own while at camp.

Girl Scout Camp staff is trained to handle these types of situations as we tailor our techniques for each type of camper and work to proactively set campers up for success by helping them feel comfortable. A first day at camp can feel uncertain for new campers, so our camp counselors provide an orientation, review things like the schedule for the week, and show campers where they will sleep and shower.

Prepare pre-stamped envelopes so you and your camper can communicate throughout the week. Our camp counselors find it important to have a busy camper schedule. Rest hours are when campers tend to think about home and feel homesick the most. We help prevent this is by keeping them engaged with quiet games, stories and activities like writing letters to their family.

Reflect! Reflection is an important part of Girl Scouting, as it helps

re-center your perspective and practice self-gratitude. Encourage your camper to tell you how they overcame the challenge and how it made them feel.

Acknowledge the good job they did in being confident and attending a camp program away from home. This will elevate their trust in themselves and make them look forward to going on independent adventures again.

The goal should not be to completely avoid homesickness, rather, manage it if it occurs, as building coping skills and resilience are important aspects to living a healthy life. Truth is, feeling homesick is completely normal, but applying these techniques will prepare them with what they need to handle it, and will in turn give them a boost of self-esteem and independence.

Remember that your camper is in great hands with our Girl Scout Camp staff and is available to work out any plans with campers and their families to prepare for it.

Lastly, as you’re overcoming homesickness, remember to celebrate it! It is a great accomplishment for both parents and campers.

Arizona. She has been a Girl Scout for 13 years, has earned her Silver Award and plans to pursue a degree in graphic design.

Finally, Cheyenne Farnsworth’s project is “Building Family Bonds Between Young Parents and Their Children.” To create awareness around the effects of teen pregnancy and provide resources for those experiencing it, Farnsworth dedicated her project to Teen Outreach Pregnancy Services (TOPS). Working with this organization, she built and designed a monthly newsletter that listed free and lowcost local events for teenage parents to spend time with their child without worrying about finances. She managed the newsletter each month and trained the TOPS staff how to build and send out these communications for their clients. Having been a member for 12 years, she earned her Silver Award and plans to attend Arizona State University to become a graphic designer.

According to Woodbury, Gold Award Girl Scouts provide sustainable solutions to society’s biggest challenges. Gold Award Girl Scouts are visionary leaders, and this year’s awardees have tackled prominent is-

sues by cleaning up the planet, creating programs to support low-income students’ development and well-being, creating self-defense programs to battle violence against women, getting state laws changed to end forced child marriage, executing initiatives to raise awareness for teen suicide prevention, veteran support and emergency preparedness, and more.

The Gold Award challenges Girl Scouts to develop their collaboration and problem-solving skills, while gaining confidence and lifelong leadership capabilities as well as leaving a positive impact.

“In addition, in January, Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) issued a proclamation announcing that all Girl Scout alums who had earned the Gold Award in its previous iterations – the First Class, the Curved Bar and the Golden Eaglet – would be inducted into the Gold Award Girl Scout family.

With this initiative, GSUSA is inviting all highest award recipients to refer to themselves as Gold Award Girl Scouts,” Woodbury said.

With the Gold Award, girls earn college scholarships, enter the military at a higher rank, and showcase their leadership to potential employers.

Business Briefcase

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Hello, readers! Today has quite the interesting array of briefs, as a Glendale legend is back – in a new way.

Beyond that, I will touch back on one of the items from last week’s agenda.

And then I have a few networking-centric events you may want to check out.

So, let’s get into it! Here’s the news!

First, La Perla Sports Cantina is about a month in at 5723 W. Glendale Avenue. A newly invigorated incarnation of the city’s historic Mexican food staple La Perla Café, which closed several years back, La Perla Sports Cantina aims “to carry on the tradition of downtown Glendale’s official and favorite watering hole,” according to its Facebook.

Open since March, La Perla now of-

fers an array of choices ranging from burgers to chicken tenders, fish and chips to burritos and tacos, and wings to patty melts. Keeping in line with its cantina atmosphere, alcoholic beverages are available for the adults. But there are also nonalcoholic options. For more information, find it on Facebook @laperlasc.

Then, the Roadrunner Harley-Davidson, which I mentioned last week should open near Pebble Creek Parkway and McDowell Road in Goodyear in fourth quarter 2019, will staff upward of 30 fulltime employees. Currently under construction, you may be wondering why Goodyear is relevant if you missed last week’s column. Well, its owner is the same one as the Arrowhead location.

NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS CITY OF GLENDALE HEROES REGIONAL PARK LAKE Project No. 181934 INTRODUCTION The City of Glendale is seeking a qualified engineering firm, or team (Consultant), to provide engineering services for the design of an urban fishing lake, located at Heroes Park, in west Glendale. The selected firm will review an existing 2005 concept report, provide recommendations, and design and construction administration services for the construction of the lake.

All qualified firms interested in providing the required services are invited to submit their Statement of Qualifications (SOQ). All SOQ’s must comply with the requirements specified in this Request for Proposals (RFP). PROJECT DESCRIPTION Heroes Regional Park is approximately 80-acres in size and is located on the northeast corner of Bethany Home Road and 83rd Avenue. The first phases of the park were completed prior to 2008, with the Heroes Park Library just completed early 2019. Future planned facilities may include various types of recreational fields, picnic ramadas, volleyball courts, a dog park, and a multi-generational center and aquatics complex. All these facilities will be linked to create a complete campus-like setting.

The main effort of this phase of the park improvements will be a large urban fishing lake (the lake). In 2005 the City hired a consulting firm to develop a Phase II West Area (Heroes) Regional Facility Design Concept Report. The design concept report outlined the park amenities listed above, including the lake. The lake will be part of the Arizona Game and Fish Urban Fishing Program and will be stocked with fish throughout the year.

In addition to providing fishing activities, the lake will be used for non-motorized watercraft, radio-controlled boats, passive recreation and will serve as the prominent visual element of the site.
