Glendale Chamber introduces new task force

INSIDE

This Week

BY LAUREN SERRATO Glendale Star Staff Writer

THE VOICE OF BUSINESS

The Glendale Chamber of Commerce created a new task force to further enforce equality, which includes an LGBTQ inclusive nondiscrimination ordinance in the city of Glendale. The ordinance would prohibit discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations. The task force will be responsible for promoting and speaking with business leaders, community leaders and other stakeholders to educate and build support for the ordinance. “What’s exciting is I’ve got more than two-thirds of my chamber board directors who are engaged in this task force that represent a kind of broad group of indus-

try segments,” said Robert Heidt, president of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce. “Their purpose is going to be understanding LGBTQ inclusive nondiscrimination ordinances, what it is about equal protections and working to engage a broad selection of our stakeholders across the community, and how we can craft an ordinance that protects all people in Glendale equally.” In Arizona, eight other cities have passed nondiscrimination ordinances. The state, however, has no statewide law barring discrimination against LGBTQ people in employment, housing and public accommodations. As Glendale is the largest city in the

West Valley, Heidt said this task force is in no way special treatment toward the LGBTQ community, but rather, it’s a way to ensure protection and equal treatment for everyone in the workplace. “We as a community are recognizing there’s different needs within different segments of our community. But one of the needs around the LGBTQ community has not been met, which is protection in the workplace, accommodation and things of that nature,” Heidt said. “The goal would be for us as a group to work through what this will look like, moving towards working with the city to adopt a nondiscrimination ordinance that includes all people, including LGBTQ.

WV business community looking beyond pandemic BY ILANA LOWERY WESTMARC

As COVID-19 vaccines continue to roll out and restrictions are lifted by Gov. Doug Ducey, CEOs are facing pressure to make decisions about when and how professionals will return to office work. Reports say that by midsummer, a good portion of the working-age population should be vaccinated, which will play a significant role in how and when employees go back to work. “Because of such hopeful signs, CEOs at companies that remained all-remote (during the pandemic) are starting to think seriously about how and how much to bring their employees back to the office, and how

to best answer questions about policies and timelines their boards will soon ask,” said Dan Ciampa, a former CEO and adviser to boards and chief executives. “They realize that, given all that has happened over the last year, more employees than ever before will work remotely, and for tasks that can be done more efficiently that way, investments in technology are necessary,” he said. Roughly 20% of workers will remain remote employees, according to several studies. However, if the past year has taught us anything, it is that nothing is as straightforward as it may appear, and returning to “normal” will be a long, arduous process.

In a Feb. 25 Harvard Business Review article, Ciampa said that with all of the uncertainty about what lies ahead, it is important to avoid steps that either will create unrealistic expectations or limit options. Experts agreed. Kyle Freese, Ph.D., MPH, chief epidemiologist at Phoenix-based health technology company STChealth, and Dr. Scott Hamstra, chief medical officer at STChealth and a practicing infectious disease pediatrician, have been consulting for various organizations throughout the country, designing and implementing return-to-workplace strategies.

Lesko requests answers on USPS

Rep. Debbie Lesko sent a letter to U.S. Postal Service Postmaster General Louis DeJoy to request a briefing on the validity of reports regarding the United States Postal Inspection Service’s Internet Covert Operations Program (iCOP) and alleged tracking of the social media accounts of American citizens. “There have been reports that the USPS has been running a covert operations program that monitors Americans’ social media accounts,” Lesko said. “I am requesting a briefing from the USPS to find out whether these reports are true, the scope of the iCOP program, and whether USPS has been sharing American citizens’ data with other government agencies. We must get to the bottom of these allegations regarding USPS’s invasion of Americans’ privacy.”

Returning to work, post-pandemic

As workers prepare to return to the office, productivity, communication and collaboration are at the forefront of every manager’s mind. But what can and should employees expect when they return? Many have become accustomed to the rather short commute from the kitchen to their home office, and those reduced drive times have positively impacted work-life balance. Across all industries, business leaders are using the lessons from this largescale, work-from-home experiment to reimagine how work is done — and what role physical offices should play. According to McKinsey research, 80% of people surveyed reported they enjoyed working from home, and 41% said they are more productive than they had been before; about 28% said they are as productive.

Many workers who were liberated from long commutes and business travel found more productive ways to spend that time, enjoyed greater flexibility in balancing their personal and professional lives, and decided that they prefer to work from home rather than the office. Commercial real estate experts say new office space is being engineered for maximum social distancing, touchfree operations, and air and surface sanitation. “In addition to those features, employees are looking for practical answers for how they will safely navigate the workplace upon their return,” said Paul Komadina, Phoenix-based senior managing director at CBRE. Komadina said regardless of how workspaces are being configured, offices are being prepared for near-term occupancy with COVID-19 safety protocols and considerations in mind. According to the most recent data from CBRE, 93% of the firm’s clients are preparing for office re-entry with social distancing floor plans, 93% are also implementing an increased/modi-

fied cleaning schedule, and 74% have a phased re-entry plan. Additionally, CBRE property management professionals are reporting a shift in the most sought-after building amenities. “Features such as enhanced indoor air quality, touchless technologies and outdoor amenities have increased in popularity because of COVID,” Komadina said. So, will open floor plans and multiple common areas revert to cubicles and private offices? Komadina said no. “‘Open plan’ as a design strategy has often been misunderstood (or poorly implemented) to mean a sea of cubicles without space for private conversations, focus work or solitude. There is no question that such imbalance in a workplace leads to dysfunction. However, the reaction cannot be to give everyone their own private office,” he said. “Aside from being inefficient, this would also have a detrimental impact on office energy, collaboration and relationship building. Additionally, private offices are not a silver bullet against spreading germs and disease. “Whether you work in an open workstation environment or from a private office, you are sharing elevators, bathrooms, conference rooms, coffee pots and the air you breathe with the rest of the workplace, so office health and well-being programs need to be holistic.” Komadina said many of the frequently asked questions he fields center around elevator protocol, access to PPE, and conflict resolution for mask mandate rule breakers. “Ultimately, though, factors outside of employer control, such as vaccination status, child care/elder care responsibilities and safety of public transportation, may have greater influence on employee willingness to return to the office,” he said.

Demand for industrial space in the West Valley was growing before the COVID-19 pandemic, but the rise of e-commerce and strain on the supply chain over the past year has made the need for industrial space a top priority for business.

May 6, 2021 “Throughout the pandemic, the West Valley has continued to attract new companies,” said Sintra Hoffman, president and CEO of WESTMARC, a public-private coalition of 15 West Valley communities. “While many small businesses were impacted, larger companies in health care, manufacturing and logistics increased their investments to meet changing consumer behaviors,” she said. Sintra Hoffman With the announcement by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. that it is developing 1,128 acres located near the northwest corner of Loop 303 and the 43rd Avenue alignment, new life has been breathed into the region’s tech sector. Taiwan Semiconductor makes silicon chips for Apple Inc. and several other major technology companies. In March, it was reported that the company’s planned West Phoenix manufacturing plant would likely be three times larger than originally announced. The Southwest Valley region leads the Phoenix metro with 4.8 million square feet of positive net absorption during the first three quarters of 2020, including nearly 2 million square feet absorbed by multinational companies, according to data from Cushman & Wakefield. In addition to residential, retail and manufacturing, medical office and specialty health care development has been scooping up real estate in the West Valley for growth and expansion. One of those projects is the Akos medical campus in the Avondale Health-Tech Corridor north of Interstate 10. “The Avondale Health-Tech Corridor was primed to develop a new class A medical campus,” said Timothy Cozatt, investor relations officer for Akos. The new medical campus estimates between 500 to 600 net new high-wage jobs for physicians, nurses, technologists and support staff in Avondale and Surprise. That number is expected to grow as more businesses take space on SEE TRANSITION PAGE 6

the campus, Cozatt said. Officials in Avondale also recently announced significant health care locates with the expansion of Phoenix Children’s Hospital and ClearSky Rehabilitation Hospital. Additionally, Banner Health recently added a $53 million Glendale health center — one of its largest — to its portfolio of growing properties throughout the Valley. The newly built facility, at 128,000 square feet, has 128 exam rooms and 13 imaging rooms. It is two to three times larger than Banner’s second largest health center, located in Peoria, and employs 215 health care professionals. Banner also opened a $28 million rehabilitation hospital in Peoria, and it is spending $106 million on expanding its Banner Boswell Medical Center in Sun City. That project, which will include a new emergency department and new patient tower, is expected to be completed in Q2 of this year.

real estate to health care and finance as well as manufacturing and logistics, the West Valley has exploded with opportunity. In fact, more than 30% of the professional finance and insurance workers in Maricopa County live in the West Valley. About 80,000 people moved to metro Phoenix between 2019-20. California alone lost 60,000 residents last year, most of whom moved to Arizona, according to census data. The state also is seeing more migration from New York, Texas and other large, more expensive states. Many of these newcomers have opted to live in the West Valley. With higher home prices in the East Valley, and the median age of West Valley residents just 35 years old, Hoffman said West Valley cities are creating “a place people want to call home.” Many companies will be able to access new pools of talent with fewer location constraints, adopt innovative processes to boost productivity, create an even stronger culture and significantly reduce real-estate costs. “Returning employees want suburban office environments, and the workforce is already here and now need to work close to home,” Hoffman said. “They’re not doing the commute.”

West Valley opportunities

Opportunities in the West Valley for class A office space have been limited, but one of the newest projects to come online in Goodyear will include 100,000 square feet of class A speculative office space. “People in the West Valley have been talking about class A spec office space, but we’re the only group building it,” said Mike Olsen, CFO of Globe Corp. The city of Goodyear and Scottsdale-based Globe Corp. formed a public-private partnership to develop 47 acres owned by Globe near 150th Drive and McDowell Road. The projects will include a 120,000-square-foot building housing Goodyear City Hall and city departments, a civic park and the spec class A office space. The suburban “office renaissance” has made the West Valley — Goodyear in particular — a popular place to build, Olsen said. This type of highly desirable, upscale office product will attract the type of

Summer 2021 GWP Ad Slick S.A.U. system: 2 columns x 7" (4-1/4" x 7")

companies that bring high-quality jobs, said Goodyear City Manager Julie Arendall. “The ability to attract large office users expands the daytime employee base in Goodyear, which increases the attractiveness for new restaurants, retail and entertainment,” Arendall said. According to a study by CBRE, 95% of the workforce in Goodyear commutes to Downtown Phoenix. The oftentimes brutal Interstate 10 drive into work in one reason Olsen is optimistic about the Globe project. “Having the city of Goodyear as partner made it easier to build the project on spec,” Olsen said. “While Goodyear is nationally recognized as a hotspot for industrial development, we felt like we could pull in a corporate tenant.” While Olsen couldn’t disclose which companies CBRE was targeting for the new office space, he did say a small finance firm has already reached out to him. Groundbreaking for the Globe project was April 23, and Olsen said it is expected to be completed in mid-2022. Globe is already beginning to work on branding and on the retail space that will be part of the overall project. Olsen said his team is also talking with several Scottsdale and East Valley communities, such as Gilbert, about replicating some of their restaurant and retail options at GSQ-Goodyear, the new official name of the project. The first phase includes the city hall and the class A office space, and it is expected to be finished in June, but Olsen said Globe is working to finish the civic park area by November to commemorate the city of Goodyear’s 75th anniversary with a celebration in the park.

Reimagined workspaces

As a result of the pandemic and more than a year of work-at-home scenarios, companies are rethinking space needs going forward. Corporate headquarters are giving way to satellite offices around the Valley now that the concept of remote work is a productive and, for some, a welcome reality. There are a number of opportunities throughout the West Valley for shared, reimagined and reuse spaces, which is usually much less of an investment for companies, said Hoffman, adding that the West Valley has a strong and tal-

May 6, 2021 ented workforce with 32% of advance business workers residing in the region. This presents many options for satellite offices in existing, reuse or new spaces. For example, in late 2019, San Diego real estate developer PMB converted the former Dickinson Palm Valley 14 movie theater in Goodyear into a medical plaza, a “uniquely challenging adaptive reuse project,” according to Mark Toothacre, president of PMB. The project repurposed the 50,000-square-foot, 1980s-era multiplex movie theater into a 188-bed acute care community hospital and Level I trauma center operated by the Phoenix-based Abrazo Community Health Network. “The finished product incorporated high-profile features that rival new, build-to-suit medical office buildings, but our strategic adaptive reuse approach delivered a gorgeous facility on a construction schedule half that of a ground-up project,” Toothacre said. Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said in a recent interview that the project is a good example of repurposing an empty building and turning it into vibrant office space. Toothacre said PMB pursued the unique conversion in response to the need for class A medical office space in the region. The building expanded Abrazo West Campus’ wound care program and provides outpatient services such as imaging, internal medicine, pain management and physical therapy. As part of the adaptive reuse, PMB retained the former theater’s generous 12-foot-wide common hallways to create a patient-centric public corridor and added a completely reworked buildGoodyear Mayor ing entry. PMB Georgia Lord also took advantage of the 22-foot ceiling heights to create open spaces with great future flexibility. “The newly revitalized structure enhances the area and brings new jobs and opportunity for growth to the Goodyear Medical Innovation Corridor,” Lord said.

And what that ultimately will do is continue to position Glendale to succeed.” As of now, the task force has 13 people who will officially begin meeting in May. Additionally, there are several partners who will take part in the task force. Heidt said once the group starts its meetings, if it finds it necessary, additional members will be added to the task force. “We’re convening a group of leaders and stakeholders to have the conversation, and so if there are folks that we need to engage at the table or others that need to be a part of the conversation, I have great confidence the group will identify who those are and look to add those different voices,” he said. While Heidt said the task force will be beneficial for the continued push for equality in Glendale and throughout the state, he added that the city will also benefit financially and from a business perspective. “We certainly see economic devel-

opment and growth,” Heidt said, specifically referring to large companies coming to Glendale looking to break ground with a list of criteria. “Within that, inclusivity is a huge part of the conversation. And so when an organization is working with site selectors to locate companies, if we don’t have that as part of our DNA, as part of our culture and our community, even if we have the best site, the best everything, and one of their top priorities is inclusivity, we lose.” Heidt admitted the city of Glendale is not completely there yet in terms of complete and equal treatment within the workplace. “This is where we recognize as a city we’re not quite there and there’s a little bit of work to do. And so, as a chamber, we take that role very seriously, and we’re working to cultivate that conversation of what it might look like for Glendale and how it can benefit us as we continue to move forward,” he said. Kate Kochenderfer, chair of the Glendale Chamber Board of Directors, agreed.

“Adopting a nondiscrimination ordinance that is inclusive of all people, including LGBTQ people, positions Glendale to succeed. As a city, Glendale must leverage the same competitive advantages that inclusivity provides to our neighboring cities to attract the top talent, business and events we need to thrive,” Kochenderfer said in a press release. With any new task force or initiative, there are going to be those who question its benefits or success. Heidt admits there are community members who have called to express their distaste for the task force, stating that it will make the city “look bad.” “I understand why they may feel that way, but doing nothing makes the city look bad, because we recognize that this is a conversation that needs to be had. Diversity and inclusion is vital. It’s an attribute to embrace everyone of all walks of life and all backgrounds, wherever people come from. That’s what makes us unique, and that’s what attracts people to our community. That’s what enriches us,” Heidt said.

May 6, 2021 Despite those who question the task force, Heidt said it’s necessary and will hopefully allow people to recognize the issue altogether. “It’s the right thing to do and, unfortunately, with everything that’s going on in our world today around diversity and inclusion, surprisingly there’s people who do not understand or recognize the discrimination that could occur or has occurred,” he said. Looking forward, Heidt said he hopes the task force will one day not be needed. “A task force is not meant to live on forever in time. It’s meant to assemble, work through conversation to challenge an issue,” Heidt said. “So, my hope in a year would be that we have done our work and due diligence to present the case of why Glendale needs a nondiscrimination ordinance. If not the chamber, then who else will do this work?” For more information on the task force, visit glendaleazchamber.org. —Staff writer Lauren Serrato can be reached at lserrato@ timespublications.com.

Casino, Coyotes donate $50K to Human Services BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF In the spirit of “Pay It Forward Day,” Gila River Cares — the philanthropic arm of Gila River Hotels & Casinos-Wild Horse Pass, Lone Butte and Vee Quiva — and the Arizona Coyotes Foundation joined forces to present a $50,000 check to Human Services Campus Inc. Human Services Campus Inc. is a nonprofit agency dedicated to helping people experiencing homelessness. Gila River also donated 4,000 towels to assist with daily shower services. “Pay It Forward Day” is a global initiative that exists to make a difference by creating a huge ripple of kindness felt across the world. Kenneth Manuel, CEO of Gila River Hotels & Casinos, and Xavier Gutierrez, president and CEO of the Arizona Coyotes, presented the check to Amy Schwabenlender, executive director of Human Services Campus Inc. Human Services Campus Inc. owns and operates a 13-acre campus at 12th

Avenue and Madison that is home to 16 independent nonprofit organizations providing wraparound services and resources to people experiencing homelessness. On any given night, there are an estimated 7,500 individuals experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County, according to the last Point-in-Time (PIT) count in January 2020. Of those, some 3,700 people are unsheltered. The last PIT count also reflects a nearly 20% increase in unsheltered individuals from 2019 to 2020 and nearly 800 more people experiencing homelessness year over year. “We are so fortunate to have an agency like Human Services Campus in our community,” Manuel said. “The work they do to help the homeless and other vulnerable populations is truly remarkable.

2021 Code:Red heat relief eﬀort launches May 10

HUD

Assisted Living

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Phoenix Rescue Mission is launching its ninth annual citywide Code:Red Summer Heat Relief campaign to ensure the Valley’s homeless population and at-risk individuals do not fall victim to the hot summer months ahead. From May 10 to Aug. 31, the largescale heat relief initiative and water drive is raising the level of need for this year’s campaign, due to the continuing risks of COVID-19. In addition to water and other heat relief items, the mission is asking the public to help support the campaign with monetary donations and nonperishable food drives. Monetary donations, which will be essential to meet the increased need during the difficult months ahead, will be matched up to $150,000 — made possible by a grant from several friends of the Phoenix Rescue Mission. The mission also launched a system for individuals and companies to easily set up digital fundraising drives to make socially distanced collections even simpler. “As we approach the 10th anniversary of Code:Red, the need for public support could never be higher,” said Phoenix Rescue Mission CEO Ken Brissa. “In addition to battling triple-digit temperatures, the number of homeless men and women in our community has continued to climb while the pandemic limits access to many resources and services.” Several municipalities, including

Goodyear, Peoria, Avondale, Scottsdale, Surprise and Glendale, have joined the effort and will work with the mission’s street outreach staff as they comb Valley streets in a small fleet of Hope Coach vehicles providing water, toiletries and case management services to those in need. The mission’s outreach teams will be following the CDC’s COVID-19 safety protocols while providing personalized care that removes the barriers that keep people stuck in a cycle of homelessness. “Anyone can help us save lives this summer, no matter if you’re an individual who wants to make a small donation online, a small-business owner who’d like to start a food or water drive, or if you just want to drop off a case of water,” Brissa said. “It’s important to note that we’re not just handing out water and making people feel better. We’re building relationships with those in need and helping to remove the barriers to get them off the streets for good.” Food, water and all other heat relief donations can be dropped off at the mission’s donation warehouse, located at 3440 W. Lewis Avenue, Building A, Suite G, Phoenix. The mission is also in need of volunteers to help distribute vital, nutritious food to families in need at its Hope for Hunger food bank in Glendale. For more information on what to donate or to start a Code:Red drive, contact Catie Hammann at gikhelp@ phxmission.org or 602-346-3347.

Good luck, danger lovers, dodging the vaccine BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

For the past 14 months, my logic about the COVID-19 pandemic has been a lot like my rationale for turning down any and all offers to go skydiving. Whenever possible, I avoid optional danger. That means I don’t jump out of perfectly good airplanes, especially for kicks. And when it comes to risking a potentially lethal virus, I’ve done my best to avoid danger. You know the drill: Stand 6 feet away from folks whenever possible. Wash your hands like a surgeon with a raging case of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Wear a mask to the grocery store, pharmacy, restaurants and anywhere else the law requires. Was I certain all the above would keep me healthy? No. But smart people I trust — like doctors and other -ologists — said not doing so would risk a serious downside, like, you know, death.

As an added bonus, the things I was asked to do weren’t that tough. I hate going shopping or sitting in meetings, so avoiding them felt a lot like not skydiving. The easiest sacrifice to make is the sacrifice you were going to make anyway. Getting a COVID-19 shot was also easy. The whole process took maybe two hours. When the state opened up vaccines to my age group, I registered online. Then, in early March and again three weeks later, I ventured across the Valley to the State Farm Stadium vaccine site. The first shot left me with a sore arm for a couple days. The second shot did the same. Again, it came down to trust. Trained medical professionals said the vaccine was safe. Out of curiosity, I dug up some studies. The research indicated the risk of serious side effects was low. For the peace of mind being vaccinated would provide, it seemed like a safe

play, a small price to pay for avoiding a virus that has killed more than 17,000 Arizonans and infected 870,000 people statewide. That’s why I’m surprised to find myself in the minority as April comes to an end. To date, in a state of 7.3 million people, about 40% have gotten at least one vaccination. Only about 30% of us — 2.2 million Arizonans — have been fully vaccinated. According to the state, demand for first doses of the vaccines has been falling lately, so now they’re allowing folks to just pop in whenever, even without an appointment. “We know sometimes making an appointment for a later time is not as easy as … driving by and thinking, ‘I want to get a vaccine. I’m going to stop by.’ We can accommodate that now,” Dr. Cara Christ, director of the Arizona Department of Health Services, told KTAR. Christ is one of those folks in whom I have some basic trust. She has a master’s degree in microbiology with an

emphasis in molecular virology and public health. And she earned her medical degree from the University of Arizona College of Medicine. Would I take her recommendations on how to invest my life savings? No. But on getting this vaccine, she’s the expert — and her recommendation squares with the rest of the global medical community. That’s good enough for me. But apparently not for most Arizonans. You all must be the risk takers who keep skydiving companies in business. The adventurers who run with scissors, drink expired milk, think bungee jumping is a hoot, and who go swimming in the ocean without waiting 20 minutes after you eat a sandwich. You’re real daredevils, you optional danger lovers. I honestly hope it works out for you. Or that you have fantastic health insurance. Me, I’m playing this one safe.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Early educators are important

Editor: From birth to age 5, a child’s brain grows faster than any other time in life, making the early years our best opportunity to ensure kids are ready for success in school and in life. Early learning professionals who care for young children are building strong foundations for kids and for our state’s future. That’s why this month, I’m joining Arizona’s early childhood agency, First Things First, in recognizing the importance of early educators. This year, more than ever, we have

seen just how important trusted, skilled child care providers are to support working families in our communities. As a retired principal of a pre-K through eighth grade elementary school, I understand the value and benefits of children having a strong and early start in education. The first five years greatly impact the next 85 years of living. We want our children to have a healthy beginning in life — making them thriving individuals with ﬂourishing families. This is the basis of a healthy community. Therefore, those who care for, teach, guide and inspire our young children are essential for our families, our com-

school prepared to be successful. That’s why I hope you’ll let Arizona’s early childhood providers, teachers and early learning professionals know that you appreciate them. Visit firstthingsfirst.org/sharethecareaz for some ways to say thank you. Dr. Carlian Dawson, Ed.D. West Valley

Opposes J.D. Hayworth

Editor: Re: Mr. Hayworth’s guest column in the April 29 Glendale Star: What a load of crap. He tries to expose liberals for their manipulation of language while exhibiting far worse himself. Mr. Hayworth uses numerous quotation marks — some are to focus on a

ples: He puts “word salad,” “insane,” “guilt” and “cheap votes” in quotation marks as if someone else used them, not just him. He decries “open borders,” which very few liberals want, and wrongly implies that being in the United States without authorization is a “crime.” He falsely says the AP doesn’t use the term “illegal” because it stopped calling immigrants “illegals.” No person is illegal. But he doesn’t put quote marks on “invasion” or “amnesty,” which are often used inaccurately, as he does, by farright conservatives. What he is showing us is the tactic of some radical talking heads who use buzzwords that inﬂame the lower levels of their base. Examples: “witch hunt,” SEE LETTERS PAGE 15

KIRK’S OPINION – King Features

Maybe it wasn’t Biden’s night, after all BY J.D. HAYWORTH

Glendale Star Columnist

LETTERS FROM PAGE 14

“deep state,” “white replacement,” “cancel culture” and “stop the steal.” These catchy phrases substitute for critical thinking and fact-based analysis. For example, while people like Hannity and Carlson shriek about “defunding police,” research shows that fewer than 100 of the 18,000 police agencies have reduced their police budgets, and most of them did so because the pandemic reduced the tax money available to fully fund police. Language can enlighten or mislead us. So, let’s calm down. The United States is not being invaded, Democrats are not trying to take away your guns, trans athletes are not taking over girls sports, baking a cake for a gay couple does not infringe on your religious rights, raising taxes on millionaires will not weaken the economy, there was no significant election fraud, and Bill Gates does not have a microchip in the COVID-19 vaccine. Unfortunately, Mr. Hayworth’s column misleads more than it enlightens. John Flynn West Valley

Quixotic tilt Editor: Cyber ninjas. I never heard of these people. What is a “cyber ninja”? Sounds like a kids video game. It has about the same level of credibility. They are searching our supposedly secret ballots with ultraviolet light looking for meaningless watermarks, unseen folds and who knows what. To call this whole process ridiculous is a gross understatement. Our state Senate is wasting donors’ and tax dollars to satisfy the Trump base on an issue that was settled six months ago. Our past Senate president, Ken Bennett, involves himself in another quixotic (or is it idiotic?) tilt, for what? Remember that episode when he searched Hawaii records looking for Obama’s real birth certificate? Even the base should realize that their tax dollars are being thrown away to no good purpose. Everyone involved is looking pretty dumb at this point. You lost. Get over it. Move on. Gordon Burhop Peoria

OPINION

It was supposed to be Joe Biden’s night. Sure, it came in a House Chamber that seemed empty when compared with the joint addresses of his predecessors, but that’s the price he and his party willingly paid by politicizing a pandemic. Never mind that the success the president claimed against COVID-19 was negated by the extreme social distancing that scattered his sparse audience and the masks that they were forced to wear. Those in attendance — all vaccinated — were following the edicts of Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who prefers political science to sound science. And yet, there was President Biden squinting directly into the television camera, invoking the irritated tone of a senior citizen who discovers kids playing on his lawn, and shouting, “Go get vaccinated, America!” Of course, there is no vaccination for “presidential fever,” and it’s obvious that the strain of the fever that has gripped Biden for most of his political life is especially virulent. In 1988, Joe’s first run for the White House was pink-slipped for plagiarism. Biden “borrowed” most of the comments that British Labour Party Leader Neil Kinnock used on the stump as his own. When American TV networks ran split-screen comparisons of the two politicians, Biden decided it was time to “split” from his campaign. In his first joint address 33 years later, President Biden seemed to follow a similar course, but the words Joe echoed were not from a far-removed foreign leader; instead it seemed that the 46th president was channeling the 45th. Returning to a theme that Donald Trump championed and acted upon, incurring the wrath of “Big Pharma,” Biden set aside the derision he employed during last year’s campaign and embraced the same stance. “Let’s lower prescription drug costs. … We pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world right here in Ameri-

ca — nearly three times as much as other countries. We can change that,” said the president, using language seemingly unchanged from that of his immediate predecessor. To pretend the Biden policy prescription for prescription drugs is new or novel requires a form of “indulgent amnesia.” Fortunately for the president, most media elites are willing participants in accepting “the world according to Joe.” The American people, on the other hand, present a much greater challenge to the president and the partisan press agents who share his political sensibilities. While John and Jane Q. Public may have encountered “information overload” in these first 100 days of the Biden administration, they also are acutely aware of what is not being reported. Americans are increasingly skeptical of why there are fences and troops around the Capitol and White House but not on our southern border; they are troubled by the Pentagon’s introduction of ideological evaluations for our fighting forces and the specter of discharge for those who don’t share the political preferences of the commander-in-chief; but most of all, they simply don’t trust the mathematics or the methods of the Left. If the “First 100 Days” come attached with a bill totaling $6 trillion, how can we accept the president’s promise that taxes will only increase for those who make in excess of $400,000 annually? That’s right, we can’t. No wonder Joe delivered most of his speech in whispered admonitions, trying to sound as if those whispers conveyed some deeper grandfatherly wisdom. A little over an hour after President Biden began his speech, it mercifully ended. Words he intended as soaring were delivered with a snarl. Perhaps Joe realized it just wasn’t his night after all. J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10 Phoenix from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 1995-2007.

Three Coyotes fans in running for MVP BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor

Three Arizona Coyotes followers are competing in an Upper Deck contest for the title of biggest fan. Upper Deck’s My MVP program is a fan-focused contest that puts the spotlight on NHL superfans who have made a positive impact on their local hockey communities. The program launched during the 2019-20 hockey season and received an overwhelming response from fans across the United States and Canada. The three contestants are Robert Cline of Boise, Idaho; Xavier Zubia of Phoenix and Rocco Spizzirri of Scottsdale. “We are excited to bring the My MVP program back for another year,” said Upper Deck’s Sports Marketing Manager, Paul Nguyen. “The program was a huge success last season and gave us an opportunity to highlight some of the most dedicated and deserving NHL® fans. We look forward to recognizing even more hockey fans this season” Team MVP voting is open via Twitter through May 10, with the Team MVPs announced on May 12. Voting for the Ultimate MVP runs on twitter from May 14 to May 24. The winner will be announced on May 26. The grand prize winner will receive an exclusive prize package worth an estimated $3,000 that includes a personalized Upper Deck trading card that will be inserted into the 2021-22

NHL MVP product release, a choice of either a $500 UpperDeckstore.com credit or a tin of Upper Deck’s 2021-22 The Cup product, as well as a custom My MVP reclining chair and additional My MVP swag. “The response last year was outstanding, and we couldn’t be happier to work with Upper Deck again on this initiative,” said David McCarthy, vice president of consumer products licensing at the NHL. “My MVP is a great way to showcase and share stories about our fans, which we believe are some of the most passionate in all of professional sports.” For more details on the ‘My MVP’ program and to nominate yourself as your team’s MVP, visit: www.upperdeck.com/mymvp. A former high school hockey captain, Cline has been following the Coyotes since 1996. “It made me a better person and grow into a man,” Cline told Upper Deck. “Hockey is more than a game, it is a family with ice cold veins that give the world warm excitement. “Thanks to the hockey Gods and the world’s legendary hockey players, we all love to watch this game.” Among his memorabilia are signed jerseys from Mike Sullivan, Brad May and Daniel Brier; and a Coyotes military jersey with Joel Hanley’s signa-

ture. Now living in Idaho, he said he will continue to wear Coyotes apparel. Link: https://bit.ly/3eUYjAw A 14-year Coyotes fan, Zubia was fortunate enough to sit behind the bench, helmed by coach Wayne Gretzky. Eventually, Zubia was enrolled in a learn-to-skate program and subsequently a travel team. Since then, he has never looked back. He was selected multiple times to USAH Development Camp, playing in Toronto for a local Junior Team and now coaching his former high school (with his former Mite coach) and made it to the national quarterﬁnals. Along the way, he has kept a piece of Coyotes gear (socks, underwear, hat, etc.) on him for every game he is involved in. Recently, he began the process of forming a nonproﬁt hockey league to support disadvantaged youth hockey players called Assisting Arizona and Youth Hockey Players. The funds to support youth players via scholarships will come from an annual friendly tournament of former youth hockey players who have aged out. Money raised will be donated in the form of scholarships for those youth players in

Spizzirri has been a fan since 1997, when he went to his first game. How he said he eats, sleeps and breathes Coyotes hockey. “I have a huge collection of Coyotes memorabilia, ranging from my amazing collection of Upper Deck cards for the Yotes to signed jerseys and sticks,” he said. “I even have a unique collection of over 15 authentic Coyotes jerseys spanning their entire history. If you ask anyone who knows me, they will say I’m the biggest Coyotes fan they have ever met. I never miss a game no matter where I am. Through thick and thin, I have always been a diehard fan of this team and I definitely think I was destined to be picked as the Coyotes Ultimate MVP.” Info: https://bit.ly/3eS41D7 Based in Carlsbad, California, the Upper Deck Company is a worldwide sports and entertainment company built on the pillars of quality craftsmanship, authenticity and innovation, with a dedication to creating products that turn memorable moments into collectibles.

Charley’s ﬁrst golf tourney to beneﬁt GiGi’s PlayHouse BY JAKARIA ROSS

Glendale Star Staff Writer

With plans to donate all proceeds to GiGi’s PlayHouse in Phoenix, Charley’s Sports Grill will host its ﬁrst golf tournament on Saturday, May 8, at the Sun City Country Club. Opening in 2020, GiGi’s PlayHouse is an achievement center for individuals with Down syndrome. The business provides free therapeutic and educational programs that advance literacy, math skills and motor skills. The event will include rafﬂe prizes and an auction where participants can win a chance to play with professional golf player, Big Break Mexico Reality TV Star and Nashville recording artist, Rob West, who will also perform with his band. According to West, using his celebrity status to be a part of the event will be an honor. “We’re doing it for a charity that I am very supportive of and involved with,” West said. “Our daughter Abby has

Down syndrome, so I got involved doing some music for them and a music video. When Kelli (List) decided to do a golf tournament, I was 100% on board. Plus, Charley’s is like a home away from home for me.” Kelli List, the chief accountability ofﬁcer at Charley’s Sports Grill, said golf was a strategic choice of sport for the event. “We have a lot of golfers who come in here and also the owners are golfers. We knew that we wanted to give back to our community this way,” List said. List said she was so inspired by GiGi’s PlayHouse that she chose it as a beneﬁciary. Two of its families frequent the restaurant. “We want to support an organization that is near and dear to our guests,” List said. “We do have two families that come in and they both have a child with Down syndrome. And one young man (with Down syndrome) really wanted to work at Charlie’s. So we said how about on Saturday mornings? He comes and

we clean together, and he just loves it. So, it’s just very special to us.” Robin Lea-Amos, executive director of GiGi’s PlayHouse, said the upcoming event is critically needed as these types of events help the fund services and raise awareness. “It is critical to us to have organizations and businesses like Charley’s who believe in us and want to provide opportunities for us to make money,” LeaAmos said. “Everything we do is 100% free to our families. We provide about 28 programs a month and that doesn’t include the long-term things that we do.” The life expectancy for people with Down syndrome has increased dramatically in recent decades. The age has gone from 25 years in 1983 to 60 years, according to Phoenix Children’s Hospital. Lea-Amos said this is due to increased awareness. “Awareness to the Down syndrome community is just as important to getting ﬁnancial support,” Lea-Amos said.

“When a child is born with special needs it is an immediate ﬁnancial burden on a family and also usually a time burden due to the amount of therapies that child will need,.” Awareness is the main goal for the event, according to West, as his daughter is turning 19. “More than anything, bringing awareness to the organization and to our awesome children is really the main goal,” West said. “I couldn’t imagine not having a child with Down syndrome. It’s like having an angel in your house every day. We get to see unconditional love at its ﬁnest.” About 161 babies a year in Arizona are born with Down syndrome, according to the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. “We have families who have moved to Arizona just because of GiGi’s PlayHouse, because there wasn’t one where they lived. That’s very humbling to me,” Lea-Amos said. “It amazes me and humbles me on a continuous basis the length a family will go to receive services.”

Glendale company launches new ‘Godfather’ season BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Black Box, a quarterly subscription service that provides a direct path to Black-owned business, has partnered with EPIX for the launch of the second season of “Godfather of Harlem,” which premiered April 18. As part of the collaboration, the company issued an exclusive box inspired by the show featuring curated items from companies based in Harlem. Called “Bumpy’s Stash,” the commemorative box was distributed to the show’s stars and to top inﬂuencers across the country. “The Black Box is proud to partner with EPIX and ‘Godfather of Harlem’ on the commemorative Bumpy’s Stash,” said Talei Hornback, founder

and chief executive ofﬁcer of the Black Box. “The show highlights Black excellence, not only in the performance of incredible Black actors but also in showcasing Harlem, a hub of Black culture and history. Our goal each quarter with the Black Box is very similar, as we also strive each quarter to introduce people to Black excellence through exceptional small businesses. The alliance was seamless.” This special edition release of the Black Box, created in conjunction with Cashmere Agency in Los Angeles, pays homage to Harlem. Designed to look like a vintage cigar box, Bumpy’s Stash also features an elaborate chess board with each piece representing a character

in the show. Fans of the show can play along as Bumpy makes his own moves to take Harlem back. In addition to the imaginative design, Hornback has handpicked several items that epitomize the Harlem that Bumpy knew. Among them are: • From Marche Rue Dix, a French Senegalese restaurant, cultural concept store and nail salon located in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Dark and Stormy Tea, a bold black tea with masala, cinnamon, ginger, vanilla and cardamom. • A vintage night club map of Harlem coffee mug with an excerpt of E. Simms Campbell’s illustration of Harlem nightlife during the Renaissance period from the Harlem Candle Company, a luxury home fragrance brand founded in 2014 by travel and lifestyle expert Teri Johnson. • A golden brownstone chocolate bar from the Harlem Chocolate Factory, a company designed to convey the cultural experiences of Harlem through chocolate. The golden brownstone chocolate bar was listed as one of Oprah’s Favorite Things in 2020.

• Lastly, from the 125 Collection, a women-owned and run luxury quote candle brand born in Harlem, a luxury quote candle featuring a quote worthy of Bumpy Johnson, “Harlem State of Mind.” “For me the inspiration behind the Black Box was to create something meaningful, and it has meant so much for me to be able to share to a wider audience these incredible products from Black businesses making a difference in their community,” Hornback said. While Bumpy’s Stash is not available as part of the company’s regular subscription, fans of the show were able to win a box by entering the “Godfather of Harlem” sweepstakes. Winners were announced on April 25. Those interested in the Black Box can order the Summer Release through June 18. It, like each box in the subscription, will include an array of products from four to six Black-owned businesses. Items range from lifestyle, bath and body, and home goods to dining.

Astrophysics grad reflects on his mentors BY ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY Delondrae Carter graduated this May with a degree in astrophysics from ASU’s School of Earth and Space Exploration. His interest in the universe began in fourth grade when he worked on a project demonstrating the vast scale of the solar system. From there, he was inspired to learn as much as he could about astronomy and astrophysics. “That first project helped me discover that the world was a much bigger place than I initially thought,” Carter said. Carter chose ASU for his undergraduate studies and was awarded a New American University Scholarship President’s Award. That was soon followed by an Interdisciplinary Enrichment Fellowship and a Goldwater Scholarship, which is one of the most prestigious awards for STEM majors. Carter credits his academic growth as an undergraduate student to astronomy Professor Rogier Windhorst’s guidance and support. He attributes earning the Goldwater Scholarship to Windhorst’s personal commitment to his success. Carter also became a mentor for the ASU Sundial program, which pairs beginning undergraduates with upper-level undergrads, providing academic support, career guidance and personal growth in fields that students may find difficult to navigate. “Professor Windhorst’s support throughout my academic career played a large role in my decision to become a Sundial mentor,” Carter said. “By being a mentor, I can help build others up in the same way that I have been built up.” This fall, Carter will return to ASU as an astrophysics Ph.D. student to work with Windhorst and Professor Philip Mauskopf on a combination of projects including SKYSURF and SPHEREx. Project SKYSURF will measure the

You’ll be surprised how much and how quickly you learn. Q: What was your favorite spot on campus, whether for studying, meeting friends or just thinking about life? A: I enjoyed ordering crepes at the Crepe Club outside the PSH building with my friend Connor Gelb during breaks between classes. Connor and I would usually work together on homework during these breaks or simply talk about extra dimensions, the nature of time and other outlandish scientific topics. I would also often go to the Crepe Club early in the morning to order a coffee for a much-needed energy boost right before physics and math exams. Q: If someone gave you $40 million to solve one problem on our planet, what would you tackle? A: If I were given $40 million to solve one problem, I’d want to put it toward a problem I could feasibly solve. Worldwide problems such as poverty would be incredibly difﬁcult to solve with any amount of money given the complex nature of such issues. As someone interested in both astrophysics and science communication, I think a problem I could reasonably address with $40 million dollars is the lack of underrepresented minorities in astronomy and astrophysics. I would create a yearlong astrophysics training program designed to teach underrepresented minorities the fundamental skills used in an astrophysical research career through work on astrophysics projects with professors and research scientists.

Pastor: Amazingly graced Phyllis and you One of the most extraordinary experiences of my life was serving as a singles pastor at two different churches in the Phoenix area. From 1980 to 1982, I pastored at Grace Community Church in Tempe. We served 500-plus single people in our Sunday school classes. Then, from 1982 to 1987, I pastored at Northwest Community Church in Phoenix. We started with 36 people. Soon, we grew up to 230-plus people in our Sunday school classes. At Grace Community Church, I served the 30- to 45-year-old group. Most attendees in this group were “single again” and in a crisis of one type or another. Many were women, newly divorced with children, facing financial, legal, emotional, familial and relational giants they had never seen before. There were also men in the same situation, only in reverse. When they joined our meetings, they

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

had that “deer in headlights” look. They were “trust impaired.” Hopes and dreams shattered; the future looked bleak to them. Our singles ministry was designed to support them as they journeyed from calamity to peace. For most, recovery was going to be several years. After all, sometimes you need to give time “time.” Let me share with you Phyllis, one of the attendees of my class. Phyllis strongly believed in the traditional style of marriage. The man works, the woman takes care of the children, etc. However, Phyllis’ marriage didn’t turn

out how she expected. When she first came to our class, she was devastated, distraught, and every other “dis” word you can think of. As she persevered through the process of healing in our ministry, she began to see that the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train. She slowly gained confidence, courage, trust, and her ability to cope with challenges. She discovered there really is a God worth trusting and people worth trusting. She found a different life but a better life worth living. One Sunday, Phyllis gave me a poem written about her divorce experience. Please don’t try and psychoanalyze her or her then-husband. Please don’t project your current sensibility or issues onto her. Understand her feelings. She is a solid person, not chronically co-dependent, a pretty woman, intelligent and a good mother. Her poem is raw

and authentic. Here is Phyllis’ poem: “He walked out of my life after 16 years / Leaving me frightened and lonely, full of anger and tears. He gave me no reasons, no reasons or rhymes / He just said he needed to be ‘alone’ for a time. He needed to ‘think’ and stand all alone / Before he could be happy at home. ‘Separation’ it’s called; I called it ‘hell’ / I was a bundle of nerves, as my children will tell. Reconciliation I wanted, for him, I yearned / As I waited and prayed that he soon would return. “Then, out of the blue, he appeared at my door / Saying, ‘Just sign these papers; we’ll be married no more.’ I asked, ‘What have I done? I love you so / I just cannot bear watching you go.’ “Out of my life and out of my dreams / Just what in the world does all of this mean? What did I do? What was the last straw? / What did he see that I nevSEE DELPH PAGE 25

er saw? “I have my faults, as the human race goes / Of these, I’m aware more than anyone knows. But I accepted myself the way that I was / Why does he want a divorce? What was the cause? Was it my short temper? Did I snore in my sleep? / Was it the way that I walk or the way that I eat? Did I talk funny? Was I too serious about ‘stuff’? / Or was it reverse, not serious enough? Was it my laugh, my hair or my waist?/ Was it the way that I think? Was it opposite tastes? “Oh, how I searched, tore myself all apart / Looking for answers to help heal my heart. ‘Darn you,’ I cried. ‘You’ve let me down so / And you give me no reasons. You just have to go.’ “Now that I know it’s over, finished, complete / Reality sets in, I must stand on my feet. That’s easily said; it’s much harder done / Especially since I’ve always leaned on someone. Step by step, each day I survive / Some days for my children staying alive. There’s so much to learn, soul searching to do / I’m determined to succeed, see my plans followed through. “There are no easy answers, no secret of life / But I now accept myself, not being a wife. What’s important to me is being true to myself / Putting priorities first and him on the shelf. In a book full of memories, finished and done / He, just the dad to my children, my new life in Jesus has begun.” Can you relate to Phyllis? She wrote this poem 40 years ago, but it is just as relevant today as it was then. Note the

following. Phyllis faced reality. She escaped the blame and shame game. She chose to move from a victim to a doctor. Yes, the trial was great. Yes, bad things can happen to good people. Yes, if it’s going to be, it starts with me and God’s ability to heal. Spending today complaining about yesterday won’t make tomorrow any better. She moves from “Why me?” to “What’s next?” Phyllis understood the feeling of being OK does not imply that she has risen above her faults or problems. It merely means she refuses to be paralyzed by them. Phyllis didn’t spend the rest of her life entangled in the “what” and the “why” of her predicament. She focused on the “who” and the “how.” The “who” was God. The “how” is learning how to let go to move on. When you do that, you will see the end is just a beginning in disguise. If you are in a “Phyllis time” right now, know that God is with you, and God can make all grace abound to you. The way is yours, take it. Ed Delph is Phoenix native who lives in the North Valley. Since 1980, he has pastored three churches in the Valley. He is a noted author of 10 books, weekly columnist in several local and worldwide newspapers, teacher, business owner and speaker.
