This Week
BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
The Glendale City Council will consider final budget adoption at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 8, after voting on a tentative budget May 11. The May 11 vote was after the Glendale Star’s deadline. The FY 2021-22 proposed budget tentative budget is set at $1.244 billion and includes an operating budget of $731 million, a capital improvement budget of $281 million, a debt service budget of $93 million and a contingency appropriation of $139 million, according to City Manager Kevin R. Phelps. “The budget does not include an in-

crease to the primary property tax rate,” Phelps said in a memo. “The FY 21-22 budget represents a transition from my previous five years, which included few new staff positions or expansions of programs and services. This is due in large part to the council’s prioritization to build the city’s unrestricted fund balance to its targeted level. It took sacrifice and discipline to achieve this goal.” The proposed FY 2021-22 budget continues to maintain the city’s sustainable financial position while also increasing staffing in strategic areas. “These critical positions will ensure that we can continue to deliver services and projects in a manner our customers and
citizens have come to expect from the city of Glendale,” he said. This budget emphasizes improving public safety, building on economic development momentum, enhancing neighborhoods and addressing critical infrastructure needs. The budget ensures service delivery and resource allocation are aligned throughout the entire organization. Development of the budget centered around the following key priorities: Sustainability • Maintains targeted unrestricted fund balance (25% of ongoing revenue). • Investments in information technology security and reliability.
the Husband & Wife Law Team, Rosenbluth Family Charitable Foundation and Michelle Arndt/Arizona Community Foundation. Ray Croghan and Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers were also honored. The Law Tigers’ Warren Levenbaum, founder and chief executive officer, and Ari Levenbaum, chief marketing and operations officer, were given the award. Warren started the company and created the Arizona Motorcycle Safety & Awareness Foundation 20 years ago. The Levenbaums are committed to assisting injured rides, or those needing legal assistance or looking for community support. Law Tigers has given back to the community through charitable contributions, insurance education and safety and
awareness initiatives. Ari is president of AMSAF. Chandler Regional Medical Center of Dignity Health and Otten, Trauma Services and Emergency Preparedness director, were honored. Dignity Health is one of the nation’s largest health care systems and operates more than 400 care centers, including hospitals, urgent and occupational care, imaging and surgery centers, and home health and primary care clinics through a network of more than 10,000 physicians and 60,000 employees.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Phoenix resident Mariano Villegas was shot by a Glendale police officer on May 3 and later died after police said he broke into a home at 59th and Northern avenues and barricaded himself in the garage, said Officer Tiffany Ngalula with the Glendale Police Department. The officer who discharged his weapon has been placed on administrative leave, which is standard practice in this situation. The investigation is ongoing. The incident began when patrol officers responded to a burglary alarm call. The alarm company also notified the homeowner, who contacted a family member to respond to check on the home. The family member arrived prior to police and located an unknown adult male inside of the property. Officers arrived on scene and could hear a car horn going off inside the garage.

Budget approach
The city’s financial policies were the guiding principles in developing the FY 2021-22 financial forecast and ultimately the recommended budgets to the city council. The overall goals underlying the city’s financial policies include fiscal conservatism, flexibility and adherence to the highest accounting and management practices.
Operating budget highlights
The total FY 2021-22 operating budget request is $731 million, which is a $287 million increase over the FY 2020-21 operating budget of $444 million. Of the increase, $260 million is additional appropriation required to use the proceeds of certificates of participation to make payment to the Public Safety Personnel Retirement System (PRSPR) to fund the city’s unfunded pension liability for police and fire personnel to an estimated 90% funded level.

budget include: • Added funding to cover substantially increased costs in risk management and worker’s compensation. • Employee incentive program for Innovation or Excellence in Service. • 1.5% COLA plus performance pay of 1.5% available for nonmemorandum of understanding employees. • Salary increases in accordance with current MOUs for represented employees. • Funding for three new communication specialists/911 dispatchers. • Eight new firefighters (contingent upon grant funding) and associated equipment. • Two additional detectives: one vehicular crimes and one CID persons crimes. • Operating costs for Heroes Park Lake and Glen Lakes Park. • Additional project managers and engineers for improved project delivery. • Additional building safety inspectors and development services department assistance to support growth and eliminate current log jams. • Additional innovation and technology staff to enhance systems support and cybersecurity. The total FY 2021-22 general fund operating budget request is $482 million, and public safety remains a top priority. The largest operating budget is nondepartmental, which includes the appropriation of $260 million to pay PSPRS to fund the city’s unfunded pension liability for police and fire personnel to an estimated 90% funded level. The police and fire departments represent the second-largest operating budgets within the general fund, with expenditures totaling $142 million, or 29%. The next largest share of general fund expenses is public facilities, recreation and special events at $16 million, which reflects the council’s priority to invest in operations and maintenance activities at the city’s parks.
Total general fund appropriations also include $3 million in contingency, which can be used for unforeseen expenditures or unexpected revenue shortfalls, which may occur during the budget year.
General fund forecast
During the budget discussions, much of the focus continued to be on the general fund, which is the largest operating fund of the city. For FY 2021-22, the proposed general fund budget is balanced with a planned use of excess unassigned fund balance. This draw down is primarily for capital projects budgeted as a result of the AZ Cares Funding and the American Rescue Plan federal funds, which were received to offset the costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Projects for the AZ Cares funding have already been identified and are in progress. Projects and initiatives for the American Rescue Plan funding will be determined once the guidelines for spending of those funds have been released by the federal government later this year. The development of the FY 2021-22 budget continued to follow the financial plan and policies as the city council outlined, Phelps said. Prudent financial decisions, coupled with conservative forecasting methods, have successfully strengthened the city’s financial position, he added. “The city has weathered the storm of the pandemic and, with the help of state and federal funding, is moving toward a better and faster service delivery model,” Phelps said. “In addition, planning for the NFL Super Bowl in 2023 and the NCAA Final Four in 2024 is already underway. “This is an exciting time for the Glendale community as the city continues to be viewed by the business community as a valued partner, improves the lives of its citizens through quality amenities and service delivery, and matures from a leadership and organizational development perspective to be the community of choice for our residents, businesses and employees.”

Dion Trent Walton was arrested May 3 in connection with the murder of 69-year-old Hubert Moore of Glendale on March 19 near 59th Avenue and Bethany Home Road.

transported to a Valley hospital in critical condition. “It was reported that the initial trauma first aid provided by officers on scene helped in the victim’s survival for a month beyond the shooting,” Ngalula said. Moore died April 26. While Moore was alive, he spoke with detectives and identified Walton as the shooter. He said Walton came to his apartment with a gun, confronting him about a battery charger and then shooting him several times. On May 3, Walton was located by detectives in Phoenix and taken into custody. Walton had the firearm when arrested and admitted to the shooting.

Abrazo Arrowhead Campus earns top grade BY KEITH JONES
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Abrazo Arrowhead Campus received an “A” rating in the Leapfrog Group’s spring 2021 Hospital Safety Grade, reflecting the hospital’s commitment to delivering safe, high-quality patient care. The nonprofit Leapfrog Group publishes its safety grades as a rating system designed to give consumers information they can use to make health care decisions for themselves or a loved one. “Glendale and Northwest Valley residents have depended on Abrazo Arrowhead for quality, safe medical care for more than 30 years. We sincerely appreciate those who entrust us with their care,” said Stephen Garner, Abrazo Arrowhead Campus chief executive officer. “Maintaining an A grade during the pandemic is a testament to the dedication of our caregivers and hospital

staff. Every day we focus on how we can continually improve our delivery of care and patient satisfaction. Nothing is more important to us than offering our patients trusted care in a safe environment. We are proud to be recognized by the Leapfrog Group with its
top grade for patient safety.” Abrazo Arrowhead Campus is known for its surgical robotics, cardiovascular services and obstetrical care, including a Level IIE neonatal intensive care unit. The 217-bed teaching hospital is also home of the Abrazo Graduate Medical Education program’s internal medicine and general surgery residencies. The Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade is the only rating focused entirely on how well hospitals protect patients from preventable errors, accidents, injuries and infections. Across all states, only 33% of hospitals reporting data

Abrazo officials remind the public that delaying care or waiting to go to the ER can result in a greater risk of complications and lengthier recovery times if conditions are left untreated. “Emergency care can be life-saving care, and elective procedures are medically necessary for improved health and quality of life. Studies have shown people have delayed care during the pandemic, but delays may result in a greater risk of complications, disability and lengthier recovery times,” Garner said. “Please don’t delay care if you or a loved one have symptoms that are best evaluated in an emergency room.”
Suspect booked after hitting sergeant’s car BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
A 37-year-old Glendale man is behind bars after the suspected drunken driver crashed into a Buckeye police sergeant’s fully marked patrol vehicle on May 1, according to Buckeye Police Department spokesperson Donna Rossi. The crash occurred around 10:20 p.m. at Fourth Street and Arizona Eastern Avenue. The sergeant was driving north on Fourth Street when Shane W. Labrecque, who was driving a Hyundai,
failed to yield leaving a private drive and T-boned the patrol car. Labrecque was treated for his injuries and released from the hospital on May 3. Subsequently, he was booked into Maricopa County Jail. He was wanted on many warrants out of Arizona and California. He also faces charges associated with the accident and his suspected drunken driving. The sergeant was treated and released with minor injuries. A passenger in Labrecque’s car remains hospitalized.

Support Glencroft with charitable tax credits BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF By using the Arizona Charitable Tax Credit, taxpayers can support Glencroft Center for Modern Aging and its Friendship Foundation while receiving dollar-for-dollar reductions in their state tax liability. Because officials extended the tax filing deadline to May 17, residents still have time to support Glencroft and its residents. The benefits to taxpayers and the Friendship Foundation are significant. A single head-of-household tax filer can claim a tax credit of up to $400 on their Arizona taxes, and married couples filing jointly may claim a state tax credit up to $800. Arizo-
na residents who have not yet filed may still apply a contribution toward 2020. Contributions made after the May 17 deadline will apply to the 2021 tax year. “This is a wonderful way to support aging adults in need of financial assistance while realizing significant tax advantages,” said Kaye Baker, Glencroft’s vice president of development. “The Friendship Foundation is an important source of funding for programs that promote our residents’ well-being. Donating is easy, and you can help our community at the same time.” The Friendship Foundation organizes and manages fundraising efforts
MCCCD to hold truth in taxation hearing remotely BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) has released its truth in taxation information for the fiscal year 2021-22 budget, in compliance with Arizona revised statute 15-1461.01. MCCCD is notifying its property taxpayers of the intention to raise its primary property taxes over last year’s level. MCCCD is proposing an increase in primary property taxes of $14,266,877, or 2.77%. Notwithstanding the official notice of tax levy required in the truth-in-taxation statute published previously, the property tax change under consideration by the governing board will result in an actual decrease in the tax bill for many homeowners. For example, the change will result in a proposed tax decrease of $6.24 for a $100,000 home. This change will generate an estimated $14.3 million, exclusive of new property, which will be dedicated for capital needs. This proposed new levy is exclusive of increased primary property taxes received from new construction. The levy is also exclusive of any changes
that may occur from property tax levies for voter-approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the board’s public hearing and special meeting will be conducted entirely remotely via WebEx Events at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 25.

The easiest way to make an MVD visit BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Appointments scheduled online are the easiest ways to visit with the ADOT Motor Vehicle Division office. No longer is it required to log in to an account at AZMVDNow.gov to schedule an office visit. Instead, MVD customers who have an Arizona driver’s license or ID card can simply go to AZMVDNow.gov, click on the orange “schedule an appointment” button and follow the prompts. “MVD is constantly making tweaks and adjustments to better accommodate customers’ needs and provide a better experience,” said MVD Director Eric Jorgensen. “We are committed to our goal of getting customers out of the line and safely on the road.” Though scheduling an MVD ap-
pointment is easier than ever, an office visit isn’t needed for most services. Two-thirds of all MVD services and transactions can be completed at AZMVDNow.gov. Here’s a sampling of what can be done online: • Renew vehicle registration. • Renew driver’s license. • Order a replacement driver’s license or ID card. • Change your address. • Order specialty and personalized license plates. • Submit a sold notice. More than 2 million Arizonans have activated their accounts and are taking advantage of convenient, self-serve options to complete their business with MVD.

Hunting: Some people just enjoy killing things BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
Every so often on Facebook or Instagram, I see that one of my friends has gone hunting, successfully killing this or that forest creature. There are smiles all around as the hunter strikes a pose beside a mule deer, turkey or javelina. All involved — except the animal — seem inordinately proud of the conquest, which always leaves me feeling a bit curious. As in, why such obvious pride? I mean, isn’t hunting sort of a one-sided competition, given that the predator typically has some sort of weapon, like a high-powered rifle, whereas the best a white-tailed deer can manage for weaponry is a set of antlers? Then I remind myself what I have known for a long time: Some folks simply enjoy killing things a little bit more than the rest of us. I was reminded again recently when
the National Park Service and the Arizona Game and Fish Department offered 12 hunters the chance to cull bison from a herd of 500 that have roamed the North Rim of the Grand Canyon since the early 1900s. The bison have apparently been raising all kinds of hell up there, trampling ancient ruins, contaminating watering holes, and leaving Budweiser cans and pork rind bags everywhere. Kidding about that last part. But, I’m not kidding when I say that more than 45,000 hunters applied online during the 48 hours the agencies were taking digital hunting applications. As Matt Mallery of Flagstaff told the Associated Press: “It needs to happen for management purposes. And if it’s going to be somebody, it may as well be me.” Which is exactly the opposite of my own logic when it comes to killing animals: If it’s going to be somebody, it
doesn’t have to be me. I have no moral objection to hunting. I ate a burger for dinner last night and I have no affinity for, say, javelina, which tend to destroy things I like, like golf courses and small dogs. I wasn’t traumatized by the murder of Bambi’s mommy as a kid. I’m not afraid of guns, which I’ve fired on many occasions. It’s the beaming pride I don’t get — relishing taking an animal’s life. Listen to James Vasko, one of those 45,000 applicants, explaining himself to the AP: “I just thought it would be a cool experience,” said the 27-year-old, who works in real estate and farms in Nebraska. “I’m an avid fisher, hunter. Going to the Grand Canyon to hunt bison would be absolutely awesome.” Would it really? Male bison weigh up to 2,000 pounds and can stand 6 feet tall. They have poor eyesight and run at speeds up to 35 mph. That makes these bulls slightly larger than my parents’ 1972 Volkswagen Beetle, a 50-horsepower behemoth that
topped out at about 75 mph. While no one ever riddled that car with bullets, it wouldn’t have been a difficult shot, especially armed with a Browning BAR Mark II Safari rifle featuring the Ballistic Optimizing Shooting System and using belted magnum big game cartridges and a telescopic site. My hunter friends love to refer to hunting as a sport. They cite rules like “fair chase,” which Game and Fish defines as the “ethical, sportsmanlike and lawful pursuit and taking of free-range wildlife in a manner that does not give a hunter or an angler improper or unfair advantage over such wildlife.” Personally, I prefer not to sugarcoat things. Just be honest and admit it: You like killing things. You can try to even up the hunt all you want, but let’s be real: Shooting a 2,000-pound bison will be a sport as soon as the bison can fire back.
political path to the upper chamber. That’s not the case for her new Arizona colleague. Like John Glenn and Jack Schmitt before him, Mark Kelly’s path to the Senate was “out of this world”; to stay there, history’s third astronaut-turned-senator must continue to defy political gravity. It won’t be easy. Elected last November to complete the unfinished term of the late John McCain, Kelly must again face the
voters in 2022. Unsurprisingly, Arizona Republicans have made the recovery of that Senate seat their top priority. Businessman Jim Lamon has already thrown his hat in the ring, and more GOP candidates are expected to announce soon. Adding to Kelly’s challenge is the audacious overreach of his fellow Democrats in the House. Nancy Pelosi’s narrow majority has passed bills that would cost trillions, changed election law to make voting by mail man-
datory and run counter to the Constitution. Even though our founding document calls for the creation of a seat of government for the United States in Article I, Section 8, Clause 17, a “District not exceeding 10 miles square…” established by “Cession of particular states and the acceptance of Congress…” and that Maryland and Virginia ceded the land for the creation of Washington, D.C., which was founded in July

For Arizona’s senators, ‘D.C.’ means ‘decide carefully’ BY J.D. HAYWORTH
Glendale Star Columnist
Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly have boldly gone where few Arizonans from their party have gone before. Their joint membership in the “World’s Most Exclusive Club” marks the first time since 1953 that the Grand Canyon State has been represented in the Senate by a pair of Democrats. Sen. Sinema’s unconventional fashion choices began a buzz upon her arrival, but she followed a conventional

OPINION
Shortages abound due to the COVID-19 pandemic BY JUDY BLUHM
Glendale Star Columnist
Last year we had no toilet paper or hand sanitizer. This year we have no houses. Oh, and let’s not forget we are running out of chicken wings, lumber, microchips, and chlorine for pools. This summer, “experts” are predicting we might have shortages of gasoline and bacon. It’s almost too much to comprehend. The world might end up in a pretty darn perilous situation if we have a bacon shortage! If people were hoarding toilet paper last year, there could be fist fights in the grocery store aisles when our beloved bacon becomes scarce. Would stores limit the number of packs we can buy? I doubt that will work. It could be mayhem in the market. Are we supposed to stock up? Not exactly sure how we do that if we are planning summer trips and there is no gasoline at the pumps. Evidently, one of the reasons for this potential “shortage” is that there are 50% fewer fuel tanker drivers this year than last year. Many had to find new work when we were all sitting at home. Now we are back to traveling, and the truck drivers are gone! Come back! We need to go to the beach this summer and cannot drive there without gasoline. Chicken wings are another story. The labor shortages and closures of poultry plants due to COVID-19 have caused many restaurants to have to either slash the wings from the menu or make them as expensive as gold nuggets. What are we to do? The pain is real for many folks in the food industry and lovers of these
spicy, delectable chicken bites that are perfect for dipping. Americans consume 2.8 billion chicken wings a year! That would be an average of 18,000 wings in a person’s lifetime. Yikes, how will we cope if the shortage continues? Want to rent a car? Plan wisely. They are out there, just not in great numbers. Many car rental companies sold off their fleets during COVID-19 travel restrictions. Now folks going to Maui are renting U-Haul trucks to drive around the island because $200 a day is more cost effective than trying to snag a car rental at $700 a day. That’s right, go on vacation and rent a truck to see the island. We cannot make this stuff up! And lumber prices are through the roof (no pun intended). The increase in home prices due to the skyrocketing cost of lumber (up 236% since last year) means that you might be spending $40,000 more to build your house. I saw an ad on Facebook that showed two huge boards and several peel poles that a guy is willing to “trade” for a new red or yellow Corvette. He went on to say, “No lowball offers — I know what I have.” Yes, it is our new reality, and we must learn to survive. And maybe go without. My husband, Doug, says I worry too much. Good advice. Hmm, I do have 25 bottles of hand sanitizer and 70 rolls of toilet paper. If anyone wants to trade me for some bacon, drop me a line. Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local realtor.

SMITH’S OPINION – Las Vegas Sun
bring, the opposition of Arizona voters increased to almost 60%, a decisive majority. Meanwhile, one Senate Democrat has taken a decisive and public stance against statehood for Washington, D.C. Joe Manchin of West Virginia will oppose the legislation. Recall that Sens. Manchin and Sinema worked together earlier this year to oppose removal of the filibuster from the Senate rules. Will we see a similar alliance for denying D.C. statehood? And might that duo become a trio with the addition of Kelly? If so, Mark Kelly could claim the mantle of John McCain, describing himself as a “principled pragmatist” and making a midcourse correction common in spaceflight, not unheard of in public office. If not, the third astronaut-turned-senator could see his political mission grounded early.
16 OPINION D.C. FROM PAGE 14
1790, last month House Democrats passed HR 51 — a bill for D.C. Statehood. All 216 votes in favor of the measure came from Democrats — underscoring the partisan power play. The legislation would change the name from District of Columbia to Douglass Commonwealth and, more significantly, add two dependable Democrat votes in the Senate. But the two Arizona Democrat votes in the Senate are not certain to be cast in favor of D.C. statehood. Sens. Sinema and Kelly have not sponsored the bill, and based on the findings of a new poll, they would both be wise to vote against it, should it come to the Senate floor. A survey of 400 likely Arizona voters was conducted late last month by McLaughlin & Associates for the U.S. Justice Foundation (USJF). It found that a majority of Arizona voters, 50%, oppose D.C. statehood; only 42% support it.
Full disclosure, this columnist chairs USJF’s Advisory Committee. Moreover, 77% of the respondents were aware of the House passage of the bill by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and
her narrow Democrat majority and the partisan implications of the legislation once signed into law. When reviewing and discussing the effects that D.C. statehood would

Tower 16 acquires two-property multifamily portfolio BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF San Diego-based Tower 16 Capital Partners has acquired a two-property multifamily portfolio consisting of 332 units in the Valley for $55 million. Summerhill Place Apartments is in Glendale and consists of 232 units built in 1986. The Villas at Montebella Apartments, located in Peoria, includes 100 units built in 1974. The properties were acquired from a private seller in an off-market transaction. “This acquisition marks our third and fourth properties acquired in the Phoenix market,” Tower 16 co-founder Mike Farley said. “We believe the demand drivers for multifamily housing in Phoenix will continue to grow in the coming years, and we are excited to be providing a naturally affordable product to meet that demand.” Since its founding in 2017, Tower 16 has made similar moves into markets throughout the West, having acquired approximately 4,000 units in California, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson and Denver. The company seeks markets with increasing demand for

workforce housing driven by job growth and in-migration but with relatively low levels of new supply. According to company executives, Tower 16 intends to build a portfolio of over 2,000 units in the Phoenix market over the next several years. Summerhill Place is located at 6801 W. Ocotillo Road in Glendale. The property is just minutes away from Highway 60 and only a few miles from major employment centers on the west side of Phoenix. Villas at
Montebella is located at 10860 N. 85th Avenue in Peoria, between Highway 60 and the Loop 101. Tower 16 will oversee close to $6 million in upgrades and renovations at both properties including modernized unit upgrades, a new clubhouse, gym and updated pool areas. The company will also be adding outdoor amenities including barbeques, seating and outdoor gaming areas. “We plan on making numerous upgrades to modernize the properties
and provide a better tenant experience,” Tower 16 co-founder Tyler Pruett said. “We’re excited to watch the transformation of these properties over the next six to 12 months, and we think our tenants will be very happy.” Tower 16 was represented by Jesse Hudson, Bill Hahn, Trevor Koskovich and Ryan Boyle with Northmarq’s Phoenix multifamily team. Northmarq also secured debt financing for buyer, led by Brian Mummaw, Brandon Harrington and Tyler Woodward.
Freedom Financial closes loan on shopping center BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Freedom Financial Funds recently closed a bridge loan for $8.78 million to fund the acquisition and repositioning of an 81,000-square-foot neighborhood shopping center in Glendale. When the client opened escrow to purchase Glendale Plaza, the center was mostly vacant. During escrow, the buyer obtained a new lease with EoS Fitness for a substantial portion of the center. Glendale Plaza will be at least 92% leased when EoS Fitness takes occupancy. To make the center more functional
for future customers, the buyer is also demolishing over 12,000 square feet of the existing retail space. The result will be a 69,000-square-foot center, with a parking ratio of 5.3:1. The client chose to bring this transaction to Freedom Financial Funds rather than to his bank. It was crucial for the borrower to be able to delay his commitment to purchase until a few days before the close of escrow. At issue was the need to gain the existing tenants’ approvals for an EoS Fitness. The approvals were ultimately obtained only one week before es-
crow was scheduled to close. Freedom was able to accommodate the client’s unique circumstances, allowing him to avoid financing costs until he was certain he could close under conditions with which he was comfortable. Freedom Financial Funds recognized the substantial increase in value being created at the property and structured a loan that rewarded the borrower for that value, at 90% loan to cost but just 62% loan to value. This structure allowed the borrower to close the transaction with his own resources, thus avoiding the high cost of bringing in an
equity partner. Freedom Financial Funds manages a private REIT and separate accounts through which it responds to the financing needs of real estate professionals seeking capital for construction, rehabilitation, repositioning, conversion or additions to commercial and residential properties in the western United States. Freedom also offers build-to-suit financing nationally. In five years, Freedom has executed nearly $500 million in transactions and has remained steadfast throughout the COVID-19 crisis.

Drag boat racing finds home at Buckeye’s Hidden Lake BY DYLAN WILHELM Cronkite News
Just south of Buckeye’s city center and north of the Gila River sits Hidden Lake, a quiet and secluded 120acre recreation area. When the drag boat racers arrive, however, it is a place bustling with activity and entertainment and has become a popular destination for the sport’s competition in the desert. Hidden Lake is home to many events put on by the Arizona Drag Boat Association, which feature intense quarter-mile races with speeds hitting close to 200 mph. “The weather, the people, the openness, the high desert here, it’s just beautiful,” said Jimmy Todd, the ADBA rescue director. In 2020, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ADBA held only two events, including one at Hidden Lake. So far in 2021, the ADBA has hosted three races there, most recently the Spring Shootout from April 1 to April 4. Three more are scheduled for Buckeye as well. Each event takes place from Friday to Sunday. Friday is used as a testing and tuning day for the racers, who take advantage of their practice runs to make adjustments for the weekend, when the competitive races begin. “What works in Kentucky for their boats may not work here,” Todd said. Saturdays are qualifying days. Based on their best times, drivers are ranked and seeded, and they are put against other drivers, similar to other tournament brackets, with the top time matching up with the lowest time. On Sunday, those pairings are put into a traditional tournament bracket for each class of boats, with the winners of each race moving on to the next round until a champion is crowned. The racers are a close-knit group. Many even travel across the country
The weather, the people, the openness, the high desert here, it’s just beautiful.” – Jimmy Todd ADBA rescue director
Top: Rob Miller’s boat, Old School, lifts out of the water as he takes off from the start line. Miller competes in the River Racer class. Bottom: There are 10 classes in which racers can compete.

to participate in other drag boat racing association competitions as well when Buckeye is not hosting any racing. “They hate each other from 8 o’clock to 5 o’clock, but after that they are buddies again,” Todd said. The Scribner family of Lake Havasu city has two racers with the ADBA, sisters Tanya and Tara. Their grandparents drove drag race cars, and when Tanya tried racing a boat, she was hooked. A few years later, younger sister Tara rode along with Tanya
and was also hooked. Often, the two sisters will find themselves racing each other, which leads to a unique sibling rivalry. “It’s extremely competitive … but it’s fun when you get to race your sister,” said Tanya, 32. At the Spring Shootout, the Scribner sisters were two of only three females racing, and for Tara, being one of the only women competing is a sense of pride, especially when she sees little girls watching.
“I like seeing little girls coming up to me and saying they want to race now because they see I do it and my sister does it, so I feel like it helps inspire kids to get into this,” said Tara, 19. For those interested in racing, Todd said the process includes registering as a member with the ADBA and having the boat scrutinized for safety. The Scribners both said that anyone can participate and that the community is very welcoming and helpful to those who want to try it. “Anybody who has a boat can come out and race. That’s the great thing about this organization — anybody can do it,” Tanya said. For those interested in just watching, fans are currently welcomed in limited numbers, and the atmosphere provides activities for all ages. “(TopWater) Cantina here is real family friendly,” Todd said about the dining area at the lake that offers a variety of food and drink options. Todd applauded the work that club president Jeremy Denny has put in to make Hidden Lake a spot where drivers want to come out and compete. “If you were here last year, you wouldn’t have recognized this place,” Todd said. “They’ve really done a nice job.” Changes included adding turf areas, moving the track, moving dirt and adding water. It’s the latest effort to make Hidden Lake the “premier” destination for Arizona races, Todd said.

Lawn Gnome brings diverse voices to Glendale BY JAKARIA ROSS
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Aaron Johnson is bringing positive self-expression via poetry slams to Historic Glendale as part of his Lawn Gnome Publishing bookstore. “Phoenix has one of the booming scenes right now,” Johnson said. “We’re hoping to find some new voices in Glendale and see how they stack up.” He’s inviting freelance poets to compete from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturdays May 15 and June 12 in the city of Glendale’s Marty Robbins Plaza, near Pizza Old Roma, 5740 W. Glendale Avenue. The events are held monthly on Saturdays. For a calendar of events, visit lawngnomepublishing.com/events. During the evenings, eight poets are judged by five randomly selected members of the audience with scorecards. The highest score has a chance to win a prize. “The audience is given scorecards, and that creates this interesting dialogue between audience and artist,” Johnson said. While Johnson’s Downtown Phoenix events require a fee, Glendale’s “We Are One” grant allows the host to waive any admission. “In Glendale, it’ll be a free event be-

cause we want people to get into it and start thinking about poetry,” Johnson said. “We want people to participate and see the scene of talented voices. We want to see what Glendale has to say.” Johnson, who grew up in Phoenix’s west side, outlined the sentimental value of the chosen Marty Robbins Plaza. “I really have to thank the city of Glendale for the ‘We Are One’ grant, because it connected the dots for us,” Johnson said. “I used to hang out at Shot of Java a lot when I was a touring performer 20 years ago. I love the Marty Robbins Plaza so much. I spent a lot of time in Downtown Glendale as a kid.” Poetry has had a strong effect on his life. The opportunity to share this with Glendale is important. “Poetry slams are really important because they are uncensored events where writers can express thoughts
freely and openly,” Johnson said. Classified as self-expression via literature, poetry is one of seven forms of art. “Poetry is the building block of all other arts,” Johnson said. “It has the ability to create meaning through metaphor and figurative language in order to take what we already think we know what the world is and expand. For me, it’s a no-brainer; poetry is the biggest thing that there is.” At the events, each writer gets three minutes and 10 seconds to perform their original poems. “Watching all of the different styles compete and watching all the voices is a representation of what community is,” Johnson said. “I’ve been doing it for about 20 years, and it is the most fulfilling (experience).” All ages are welcome to come to the events, but the poems are uncensored in language and content and require all COVID-19 mandates to be followed. “We warn people there will be adult sayings and language,” Johnson said. “If we have someone who wants to bring a teen, we say bring them, but have a conversation with them about the content and words that are being used.”
Contributing poet Bayete Smith said a simple Google search led him to participate. “Around 2018, I Googled it at work, and I saw that it fit my schedule perfectly. I saw Aaron had the event starting from 7 to 9 p.m. That’s where it started,” Smith said. The attending poets have the liberty to choose what style of poetry they will present at the slams. “I write conscious poetry,” Smith said. “(I write) anything based on humanity and the state of it. Growing up as a West Indian born in America, I was raised listening to Bob Marley, and my father was always globally conscious. I started writing at age 41, and now I’m 48.” Poet Lissette Gaytan, who attends the slams weekly, said for her, they serve as a very special place, as she writes about women’s issues, relationships and current events. “I love the spirit and the feeling of belonging at the slams,” Gaytan said. “It’s like family, and we are going through our issues together, processing them and giving each other a safe space to do this in. “It is such a haven for art and expression. Just a very special place. I look forward to going every single week.”

drummer,” he said. He called Shallow Water “a high-energy, fun band.” “Our horn players do a good job of getting the fans involved,” Rizzo said. “The compliment we’ve received is how much fun we look like we’re having on stage. We have fun with three people in the audience or a thousand people in the audience.” Besides Murphy Park, Shallow Water plays CB Live in Desert Ridge on July 10 and Tailgaters Sports Grill on Bell Road in Surprise on Aug. 28. “Tailgaters is one of our favorite places to play,” he said. “It’s a small sports bar, but we’re all westsiders for the most part anyway. We can be on our best behaviors, but at Tailgaters we rip it up.”

The upbeat ska band Shallow Water will celebrate its 20th anniversary with a show as part of Live at Murphy Park on Friday, May 14. Over the two decades there has been personnel changes, but one thing has remained: It’s available to “ska the (crap) out of it.” “We play mostly covers,” said drummer RJ Rizzo. “We started out back in the day playing original music, and we put out a few records. “We shifted to doing covers 12 years ago. That’s what people want to hear, and we just want to play. We put our flavor to all covers.” Shallow Water plays 1980s and 1990s songs and digs up favorites. For example, fans can hear ska versions of the Cure’s “Just Like Heaven,” the Eagles’ “Hotel California” and Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive.” The band includes singer/guitarist Roger Wiedabach of Ahwatukee, guitarist/ vocalist Johnny Baba of Phoenix, bassist

Pastor Delph: Are people two-faced or true faced? A minister told his congregation, “Next week, I plan to speak about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Chapter 17 in the gospel of Mark.” The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17. Almost every hand went up. The minister smiled and said, “Mark has only 16 chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying.” When God gives us His wisdom, it’s always for our good. What He calls sin, or “missing God’s mark,” is not meant to condemn us but to help us. Sin is hurtful not because it is forbidden; it is forbidden because it is hurtful. God’s wisdom, given to us, is true in the case of lying. God’s admonition in the Ten Commandments is to be truthful. Why? Because lying and deception are the No. 1 causes of breakdowns in relationships. Relationships require

trust. Making commitments generates hope. Keeping commitments generates trust. In other words, lying destroys trust, and trust is the currency of all relationships. Trust connects you to that person or institution. Lying started back in the Garden of Eden. The serpent that tempted Eve in the garden was an expert at half-truths and deceit. He could make a mountain out of a molehill. He had more verbal twists and turns than a tornado. The liar can make a case where there was no case, just in case. Adam and Eve fell for the spin. Eat this fruit and you will be like God, knowing good and evil. In other words, you will be the judge of everything, the king and queen of
the world, with all the privilege and none of the responsibility. Well, you know the story: Adam and Eve fell for the lie and started lying to themselves and each other. They produced what they fell for. When God came to find out what was going on, Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the snake, and the snake didn’t have a leg to stand on. Was God trying to stop Adam and Eve from having fun? No way! God was trying to save their relationship. God was trying to keep their trust intact. The result is that men and women have had strained relationships from that day forward. Adam and Eve’s blame shift was, in fact, a “shame shift.” They fell, they hid, they were ashamed, got angry and then got fearful. They overlooked the facts, and the end-justifies-the-means strategy of coping came into existence.

They had to look perfect, be large and in charge. Their lying and fabrication suppressed the truth. Then authenticity and integrity are replaced by expedience. Expedience is doing whatever you need to do for yourself and the plan or justification you’re pushing to look good. The truth is, the worst thing about being deceived is, you’re deceived. Where did all this start? A lie that created fear produced a lifestyle and culture wherein lying and half-truths are acceptable and expected. Everyone started hiding behind fig leaves. Think of it: Lies must be covered up, but the truth can be around naked. No wonder relationships are at an all-time low. No

one believes anyone very much anymore. Oh, by the way, beware of halftruths. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half. A lie is the refuge of weakness. The courageous person is not afraid of the truth. Jesus was always truthful. His integrity intimidated the dishonest lawyers, politicians, religious leaders and business owners of that time. They reacted to His honesty. Honesty is a force. Honesty has the power to flush hidden quail out of the bush in a frenzy. It was like turning over a rock in the desert and watching all the scorpions, centipedes, black widows and bugs run for the cover of darkness again. When the light of the truth invades darkness and eventually will, it will be evident to all. Abraham Lincoln said, “No person has a good enough memory to make a successful liar.” Psalm 15:4 talks of a person who walked in integrity and told the truth even if it was to his hurt. Why can’t we be like this person? I’ll bet that person would have many strong relationships because he could be trusted to at least
tell the truth. Such integrity would work for him, not against him, in the eyes of God and other people. It’s OK to be wrong and admit it. After all, the wonderful thing about being wrong is the joy that it brings to others. If we can be honest for a moment, I think most would admit it’s better to be true-faced than two-faced. We have lost “honesty is the best policy.” Here is an additional benefit of telling the truth. If you tell the truth the first time, you will never have to remember what you said. And with my memory these days, that’s a bonus. Ed Delph is Phoenix native who lives in the North Valley. Since 1980, he has pastored three churches in the Valley.

Mandarin spelling bee a first for youngsters BY ALEX GALLAGHER Glendale Star Staff Writer
Contestants across three schools will compete in Arizona Language Preparatory’s first Mandarin spelling bee on May 17. Students from Arizona Language Preparatory will compete against children from Gavilan Peak School in Anthem and Glendale’s Desert Sage
Elementary in front of six judges via Zoom. “I’m nervous because we’ll be competing with three other schools,” said Vienna Chuang, a Gavilan Peak School fourth grader. Chuang will have strong competition, as she, along with many of the other contestants, has been learning Mandarin since she was as young as

kindergarteners. “I started speaking Mandarin when I was in kindergarten, but my brother first started teaching me when I was still in preschool,” said Emily Martin, a Gavilan Peak School sixth grader. Others were taught at an even younger age. “I went to a preschool that taught Chinese,” said Ender Cotty, a fifth grade student at the Arizona Language Preparatory. Ender lives in Cave Creek. However, it was at the school he has called home for the past six years where Cotty has found a love for the language. “At this school, I have found that I can connect to more people this way and I can talk to people I never could have prior and learn their culture,” Cotty said. Other contestants have found ways to take their language skills outside of the classroom. “My parents wanted me to learn Chinese so we could travel a lot and go to places where they speak it,” said Cora Goates-Glau, a fourth grader at Arizona Language Preparatory. Cotty said he feels the same way. “I can now go to Chinese restaurants, order food and hold a conversation with the staff there,” Cotty said. Students have displayed their skills to high-ranking officials. “I’ve been able to speak in front of the government on Chinese TV,” said Stanley Rosinski, a sixth grader at Arizona Language Preparatory. “One time when I was in China, I was able to
The Glendale
join a card game with some people and speak full Chinese.” Like many other contestants, Rosinski has been learning Mandarin to prepare for future endeavors. “Mainly, I’m learning Chinese because it will pay for college,” Rosinski said. “It’ll give me a better job, and I’ll be able to travel a lot to China.” Others are learning the language because they like a good challenge. “I wanted to learn Mandarin because I knew it would be hard and I like facing challenges,” said Alex Luedke, a Desert Sage Elementary School sixth grader. Students will display their linguistic talents at the Mandarin spelling bee. They’ve been spending the past few weeks learning new words and honing their character writing. “I’m mainly memorizing the strokes of each character and also working very hard on the words that I’m struggling with,” Cotty said. The kids have been adding up to five words per day to their vocabulary list. “I’m always practicing the hardest words,” said Kiki Gerity, an Arizona Language Preparatory sixth grader. Preparation doesn’t stop there. “I’ve been preparing by going online, finding the list of words and writing down the characters,” said Sophie Peterson, a Desert Sage Elementary School fourth grader. Repetition is a good way to build memory, but nerves still plague contestants.

Dorrance family increases recipients for award BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
The Dorrance Foundation for Education released the names of its 2021-22 recipients of the need-based Dorrance Scholarship, and the West Valley fared well. These scholars will attend ASU: Dylan Basch of Youngker High School, Buckeye; Luigui Equihua of Ironwood High School, Glendale; Victoria Favela of Glendale High School; and Emma Williams of Kellis High School, Glendale. Attending NAU are Breanna Brewer of Deer Valley High School, Glendale; Layla Gnapp of Deer Valley High School; Najah Jones of Trivium Prepa-

“As I go into the spelling bee, I feel a little nervous because I never know how it’s going to turn out or what it’s going to be like,” Martin said. “While we are practicing in class and doing little quizzes, it’s not the same as on the day of the competition.” Partnering with fellow contestants has helped, too. “What Kiki and I will do is he’ll say a word and I’ll write it on a board and then we’ll put an X on the words I got wrong and spend 5 minutes reviewing it,” Rosinski said. Partnering has been effective, but instruction is the key. “Our Mandarin teacher used this story that tells us about the character that means cold and has a story that’s easy to remember and helps us remember it,” said Krista Faulk, a Gavilan Peak School fourth grader. The story was sung in unison by Faulk and Chuang, and it goes, “You’re in a house with a front porch, a bench and a bush. Then inside, there’s a TV and a couch with your family sitting on it watching you.” Gavilan Peak School sixth grader Emma Beall said her teacher taught her class 10 words a day. “I will practice writing them a lot so that I can get comfortable writing them in the classroom,” Beall said. “We also get time to practice with a partner.”
ratory Academy, Goodyear; and Owen McCallum of Liberty High School, Peoria. Alicia Casanova of Agua Fria High School, Avondale; Valerie Cruz of Buckeye Union High School; and Margarita Esqueda of La Joya Community High School, Avondale, will attend UA. “To further our mission, we have decided to increase the number of annual awards we fund,” Jacquie Dorrance said. Fifty-seven Arizona students who are the first in their family to attend college will receive the scholarship award and program package, worth more than $100,000 over four years,
Although they’re nervous, the kids are excited. “It would mean a lot to me to represent my school and my family,” Goates-Glau said. “I have a little cousin who has cancer right now, and I think it would mean a lot to my family.” Genevieve-Hope Curtis spent time in Dongguan, China, and is thrilled to refresh her Mandarin. “I’m excited to get to review some of those words again,” said Curtis, a Gavilan Peak School fourth grader. There’s only one winner, but the children are competing for more than just themselves. “I would feel proud and hope that I could grow the school and more people could learn Chinese, I would also feel proud that I would bring the school honor,” Cotty said. Luedke added, “It would mean a lot to me because this is the first-ever Mandarin spelling bee and we have all worked so hard, and if all that hard work paid off that would mean a lot.” Martin said she agreed. However, she struggled at first with Mandarin but wants to show off her progress. “If we were able to win it right off the bat it would be pretty special,” she said. Beall added, “It would definitely build up my confidence and help me learn new words to use when I speak as well.”
to attend one of Arizona’s three state universities. Now in its 22nd year, the Dorrance family’s support of this program exceeds $50 million. This year’s scholars represent 48 high schools in cities across Arizona, including Kingman, Mohave Valley, Nogales, Rio Rico, San Luis, Show Low, Yuma, and the Tucson area and the Valley. “These students have demonstrated their resiliency against the backdrop of a challenging year,” said James Hensley, executive director of the Dorrance Foundation for Education. “They are characterized by their adaptability and perseverance, and we look forward to including them in our Dorrance Scholar community.” In addition to receiving financial assistance, Dorrance Scholars live on campus during their freshman and sophomore years, attend monthly meetings with fellow scholars, perform volunteer service, study full time,
and maintain at least a 3.0 grade-point average. The program supports a pre-college summer bridge program, international study and travel, an innovative entrepreneurship experience, and mentoring and tutoring. The scholarship award is renewable for up to three years, for a total of eight semesters of full-time, undergraduate study. Scholarships are renewed based on academic achievement and participation in program events and activities. Bennett and Jacquie Dorrance created the Dorrance Scholarship Programs in 1999. The Dorrances provide educational support to highly motivated high school students who are the first in their families to attend college and who demonstrate financial need. The Dorrance Scholarship Programs LLC funds are administered by the Dorrance Foundation for Education. Info: dorrancescholarship.org

And with interest rates near alltime lows while home values are still high, this combination creates the perfect dynamic for getting the most out of your built-up equity. But, many aren’t taking advantage of this unprecedented period. According to new statistics from the mortgage industry, senior homeowners in the U.S. are now sitting on more than 8.05 trillion dollars* of unused home equity. Not only are people living longer than ever before, but there is also greater uncertainty in the ecomony. With home prices back up again, ignoring this “hidden wealth” may prove to be short sighted when looking for the best long-term outcome.
Today, HECM loans are simply an effective way for homeowners 62 and older to get the extra cash they need to enjoy retirement. Although today’s HECM loans have been improved to provide even greater financial protection for homeowners, there are still many misconceptions. For example, a lot of people mistakenly believe the home must be paid off in full in order to qualify for a HECM loan, which is not the case. In fact, one key advantage of a HECM is that the proceeds will first be used to pay off any existing liens on the property, which frees up cash flow, a huge blessing for seniors living on a fixed income. Unfortunately, many senior homeowners who might be better off with a HECM loan don’t even bother to get more
bills or helping other family members. Some people simply need the extra cash for everyday expenses while others are now using it as a safety net for financial emergencies. If you’re a homeowner age 62 or older, you owe it to yourself to learn more so that you can make the best decision - for your financial future.

All things considered, it’s not surprising that more than a million homeowners have already used a government-insured Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) loan to turn their home equity into extra cash for retirement. It’s a fact: no monthly mortgage payments are required with a government-insured HECM loan; however the borrowers are still responsible for paying for the maintenance of their home, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance and, if required, their HOA fees.
information because of rumors they’ve heard. In fact, a recent survey by American Advisors Group (AAG), the nation’s number one HECM lender, found that over 98% of their clients are satisfied with their loans. While these special loans are not for everyone, they can be a real lifesaver for senior homeowners - especially in times like these. The cash from a HECM loan can be used for almost any purpose. Other common uses include making home improvements, paying off medical

Reverse mortgage loan terms include occupying the home as your primary residence, maintaining the home, paying property taxes and homeowners insurance. Although these costs may be substantial, AAG does not establish an escrow account for these payments. However, a set-aside account can be set up for taxes and insurance, and in some cases may be required. Not all interest on a reverse mortgage is tax-deductible and to the extent that it is, such deduction is not available until the loan is partially or fully repaid. AAG charges an origination fee, mortgage insurance premium (where required by HUD), closing costs and servicing fees, rolled into the balance of the loan. AAG charges interest on the balance, which grows over time. When the last borrower or eligible non-borrowing spouse dies, sells the home, permanently moves out, or fails to comply with the loan terms, the loan becomes due and payable (and the property may become subject to foreclosure). When this happens, some or all of the equity in the property no longer belongs to the borrowers, who may need to sell the home or otherwise repay the loan balance.
