Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers held a meeting April 25 with more than 50 members from the the West Valley’s faithbased communities to introduce leaders to a newly opened nonprofit.

Utilizing a network of churches and synagogues, Family Promise of Greater Phoenix rescues primarily first-time homeless families from the streets and provides emergency shelter and basic needs in a 60-day program designed to assist in their return to self-sufficiency.

“It was encouraging to see people from many denominations connecting on this extremely important issue facing our

city,” Weiers said.

“The only way we are going to reduce homelessness is if we all work together.”

Representatives from more than 20 churches, the community services and police departments along with several nonprofit organizations attended the mayor’s meeting to learn how to connect with Family Promise as a resource to reduce family homelessness.

Family Promise Executive Director Ted Taylor told attendees the organization had planned to open a center in Glendale by 2020, but the need for a West Valley location and the positive reception that had been received allowed plans to be fast tracked.

Family Promise opened last September.

By partnering with more than 40 interfaith congregations across the Valley, Family Promise provides safe overnight shelter, food and compassion to families in crisis. Services include case management, counseling and enrichment programs.

Family Promise has been a national model since 1988, with more than 200,000 volunteers, resulting in more than 82% of families in the shelter program finding housing in less than nine weeks.

“I hope to continue moving forward with the goals and objectives that Joe Charles (former director of the Arizona Justice Center) has and bring the community together to end homelessness in the SEE HOMELESSNESS PAGE 3

Two months after announcing a new plant to be built in Glendale, RRB Beverage Operating Inc. is now part of the Greater Maricopa Foreign Trade Zone (GMFTZ).

Red Bull, Ball Corporation and Rauch Fruit Juices will partner on construction of the plant, which will be at the southeast corner of Reems Road and Peoria Avenue. The three companies will fill cans in the 700,000-square-foot building.

The GMFTZ is an area that, for the United States Customs and Border Protections (U.S. Customs) purposes, is considered to be in international comSEE GMFTZ PAGE 2

merce. Any foreign or domestic material can be moved into an FTZ without being subject to U.S. Customs duties.

Each zone is operated as a public venture sponsored by a municipality or other authority.

RRB’s zone, No. 277, facilitates numerous cities including Surprise, Buckeye, Goodyear, Avondale, Litchfield Park, El Mirage, Sun City, Wickenburg, Gila Bend, Youngtown, Peoria and Glendale.

Local communities benefit from the increased economic development and business development and retention that result from GMFTZ projects. They provide attractive business opportunities and encourage foreign and domestic companies to expand and retain operations in the United States that may otherwise be relocated overseas and help add more jobs to the region.

“We are so excited to be a part of what Rauch, Red Bull and Ball are planning here in the West Valley,” said Diane McCarthy, president of the GMFTZ board of directors.

Among the reasons companies join the GMFTZ are improved cash flows for businesses, reduced paperwork and expenses, reduced personal and property taxes in Arizona by 72%, added security and reduced supply chain U.S. Customs clearance speeds.

Ball currently has a site near Van Buren Street and 51st Avenue, but City Manager Kevin Phelps told The Glendale Star in March that the city’s economic development department had major work to do to help secure a deal for another facility.

The first site is not part of the GMFTZ. “(Economic development) and staff put together an incentive package and timeline. One of their biggest decision makers to selecting a site was getting shovels in the ground so (the facility) could be open in the first quarter of 2021,” Phelps said.

“They had to be convinced that whatever

city they selected could deliver on their timeline of opening in 2021.”

The long-term partners — Rauch, Red Bull and Ball Corp. — are in ongoing discussion regarding the joint operation of the new plant. This may be the first ever U.S. operation of these partners, which will result in “import displacement” of tens of thousands of import containers each year.

The facility is planned to become fully operational in the first quarter of 2021 and will employ over 120 full-time, higher-wage jobs when fully opened.

The forecasted total investment is expected to exceed $250 million over the full five years of construction as it ramps up to full production.

“We are so excited to be a part of what Rauch, Red Bull and Ball are planning here in the West Valley,” McCarthy said.

“Their needs included a secure water source, reliance on the FTZ for tariff balancing in this time of turmoil and the Woolf Logistics Center. Becoming a magnet site within FTZ No. 277 proved just the perfect combination. We welcome RRB Beverage to our West Valley zone.”

Red Bull announced the new plant will add to its growing North American demand and will continue its 32-year long collaboration with its partners. RRB Beverage selected IMS Worldwide Inc. to assist in securing the FTZ status, as well as to get the site activated with U.S. Customs and secure the manufacturing and activity permits.

West Valley,” said David Buiten, the new director for the Arizona Justice Center. “Churches who have partnered with AZJC are part of an updated and expanded resource that we will update and expand for a resource guide we will provide.”

Additional speakers at the community meeting included Stephanie Small, Glendale’s community services director, who reviewed an update to the city’s homelessness plan that was presented to city council in January.

Small also informed the attendees of the funding mechanisms provided through U.S. Housing and Urban Development, which are administered through the city of Glendale. One such resource is the city’s Community Action Program (CAP) office, which provides support services for individuals or families experiencing a financial hardship or major life crisis.

CAP provides various types of assistance to prevent homelessness, such as case management, information and referral to local social service agencies. The city CAP office also provides direct financial assistance for those households that are eligible, such as utility payment, utility deposit, mortgage payment to prevent foreclosure, and rent payment to prevent eviction.

Attendees also heard from Jannah Scott, partnership specialist with the U.S. Census Bureau, who presented information on the upcoming 2020 Census, including job availability and partnering with nonprofits on traditionally hard-to-count populations such as homeless individuals and families. Scott discussed the importance of building relationships and trust through various faith-based organizations, and sending a message that the information collected remains confidential.

Weiers vocalized the city’s focus on the upcoming 2020 Census, which will help determine how much of the nearly $700 billion in federal funding will be collected by the city.

Some of the issues Glendale is focusing on, according to Weiers, are public safety, street maintenance, Section 8 housing and supplemental nutrition as-

sistance programs.

Weiers also updated attendees on the city’s new Glendale Works initiative introduced and approved by city council last year.

The program, which began earlier this year, offers homeless people day jobs at minimum wage and provides day work cleaning parks and right of ways throughout the city. Homeless individuals are also introduced to programs and resources to help them find housing.

Glendale Works is administered by Phoenix Rescue Mission and, as of March, has 126 unduplicated participants since its November launch. The program has been successful in participants finding jobs and receiving needed resources to move them from the

street into self-sufficiency.

“Look, according to reports, 40% of homeless individuals want full-time jobs and want to get their lives back together and get off the streets,” Weiers said earlier this year about Glendale Works.

“If we can help 40% of homeless people get their lives back, this is a win, win, win, win for everyone involved.”

City considering eliminating auditor position

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

As the city budget gets closer to final approval, one of the items being finalized is the elimination of the internal city auditor position on administrative issues.

While council appears to fully support the elimination of the position, it would not eliminate the review of city audits. City Manager Kevin Phelps said the city would use outside contractors to perform these duties.

Phelps said this new proposal would instead create an independent process which would allow audits to be more complete. His suggestion is to add a new, independent audit committee to decide what audits should be completed, all while keeping an internal audit program manager to oversee discussions.

The new plan would eliminate current auditor Candace MacLeod, who has been in the position since 2001, and make assistant city auditor Joseph Wagner-Corona the new audit program manager.

Interim Assistant City Manager Rob

Moving this program would be a major step backward. The auditor in other Valley cities is an officially hired or appointed position by council, and I prefer that.

– Councilman Bart Turner Sweeney said the best practices for the new program would be conducted through internal audits by each department.

“When we first bought this up, council asked for how other districts and jurisdictions do this,” Sweeney said.

“We looked out to other organizations as to how they have internal audit functions.”

Some of the groups researched included Mesa, Surprise and Phoenix as well as the Institute of Internal Auditors and Government Finance Officers Association.

Staff ultimately learned the best practice would be to have an internal audit function or program. And it would be enacted in whichever way best suits the jurisdiction, or to have an outside group or firm run audits for the city.

“You have to create a structure that will ensure the independence of the organization,” Sweeney said. “Whether that is through internal or external, you must have a legal basis through an ordinance that creates an independent audit program.”

He added that the program must ensure independence, strengthen internal controls, reduce city risk, maximize efficiency, enhance government transparency, adhere to audit standards and perform periodic quality control and peer reviews.

Sweeney said staff found that seven jurisdictions have formal internal audit programs, with three formed through the cities’ charters and four formed by council ordinances. Of the seven with audit programs, five have internal personnel jurisdictions.

“Among the reporting relationships,

there is no one best practice on how reporting relationships should occur in the city,” Sweeney said. “A couple of jurisdictions have it come right through council, but there are other ways Glendale can ensure reporting of the audits.”

Councilmembers asked Phelps several questions as to how the program would occur, and if fewer audits would be performed. Phelps added that the new program manager position would maintain independence and determine which audits were performed.

The plan would amend the current city code, which would create an independent internal audit program giving council flexibility on how to finalize the program. Then they would adopt the new ordinance, and staff would work to ratify the independent audit committee.

One of the few dissenting voices on the subject, Councilman Bart Turner, said the new proposal would lead to fewer audits and would make citizens question the city’s transparency.

quite well since 2014,” Turner said.

“Moving this program would be a major step backward. The auditor in other Valley cities is an officially hired or appointed position by council, and I prefer that.”

He said up until 2012 the city auditor reported to the city manager. But then, an external audit discovered a multimillion dollar issue with risk management trust funds.

“It was a very intense audit conducted by a respected outside firm at that time that gave council complete clarity to the issue at hand, and their recommendation at that time was that council create an independent city auditor,” Turner said.

City council passed the ordinance in 2014. It had the city auditor report to the city manager and then to council.

“I don’t want us to lose ground, and I do support creating an audit committee to provide council the expertise we don’t have and to provide additional transparency in having citizens involved,” Turner said.

The office has performed 17 of the past 18 city audits over the past five years, including audits that looked at such issues as cash handling, travel and procurement, following rules, misuse of funds, investigating complaints about city issues that were called into the city’s anonymous ethics hotline, credit card purchases and pavement management, among others.

While a majority of council seemed to be in favor of the change to an auditor program manager, some questioned the chain of command.

“Is it possible to codify in the ordinance that the audit program manager reports to the audit committee and administratively to management?” Clark asked. “To keep the audit program as far away from management as pos-

sible, I think that is our goal. If you could figure out a way to do this, that would be great. That is the only thing that concerns me.”

Phelps added that it is up to council to direct the city manager, and it is incumbent on council on the lengths of independence for any potential auditor position.

“I chose to put this position in there, recognizing that the audit program manager would have lots of interaction with the committee,” Phelps said.

“Just from a reporting standpoint on performance, but making it clear on how their position would function, we would put in our administrative policy on how it would function based on council recommendations.”

Cholla Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff questioned the organization of the committee.

“Because the city manager would be a semiofficial member of the audit committee, they would have direct interaction with the audit program manager. You would be able to see the performance and other issues with employees that need to be evaluated,” Tolmachoff said. “If the person is going to be conducting and producing internal audits, then the person needs to be independent from a director. That would make me more comfortable with this.”

Phelps said the audit plan would all be determined by the audit committee, but it should have a relationship between management and the auditor.

“It is not uncommon for management to offer up good suggestive areas an audit could come in and look at,” Phelps said. “This could be a good tool for management to improve what we do.”

As of print, council was scheduled to vote on the final proposal at the May 14 meeting.

City honors service member volunteers

Ten active-duty service members were recently honored at a breakfast. (Photo by Darrell Jackson)

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Glendale Chamber Military and Veterans Committee held a military appreciation breakfast May 8 to honor 10 local active-duty service members.

The breakfast was developed as a way to honor servicemen and -women who have dedicated their lives to serving the country, while still volunteering numerous hours to their local communities.

Over 150 people celebrated the volunteer efforts of Master Sgts. Lysandra Anderson and Christopher Dodd; Tech Sgts. Dillon Barron, Thomas Carter, Bill Crew and Lone Jennings; Staff Sgt. Andrew Moody; Airman First Class Udom Gonzalez; Capt. Eugene Lee and Senior Airman Dorothy Zurlinden.

“I want to thank everyone who has come to the first celebration breakfast to honor amazing individuals who made a difference in the community,” Mayor Jerry Weiers said. “Every other year we will honor men and women who honor their commitment to helping throughout the community as well as their sacrifice in service.”

The nominees and their accomplishments ranged from volunteering with numerous different organizations to picking up over 2,000 pounds of waste and saving lives while in the public.

“I am reminded of the service and sacrifice that military are called upon to make America safe and strong,” Vice Mayor Joyce Clark said. “Win-

Our military are an important part of our community. Being part of our city and to have these volunteers do this is exceptional.

– Mayor Jerry Weiers ston Churchill once said you make a living by what you get; you make a life by what you give. Today, we gather to recognize these 10 amazing active-duty personnel who are honored for volunteering in our community.”

Clark added, “Military members are called up 24/7. It takes a special person to volunteer. For many, you are away from home, and Arizona and Glendale are your adopted homes. So for you to volunteer in your second home is especially meaningful to us and makes it more significant.”

All 10 individuals were nominated by members of the community who believed they had earned the right to be nominated for going above and beyond the call of active duty.

While the event had not been held in over 20 years and was previously held at Luke Air Force Base, Weiers added that the city is planning to make this a biannual event to honor military members who are vital to the city.

“Our military are an important part of our community. Being part of our city and to have these volunteers do this is exceptional,” Weiers said.

PUSD deputy superintendent retires after 38 years

BY KATIE SAWYER

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Steve Savoy walked up wearing a button up, glasses and a casual grin.

“Sorry I’m late,” he said. “A pipe burst at Oakwood Elementary late last night.”

This is just a glimpse into the kinds of issues that arise for Savoy each day as deputy superintendent of Peoria Unified School District. But Savoy has been taking it in his stride since he secured the position. Not for much longer, though, as he will retire from PUSD in June after a 38-year career with the district.

Savoy is originally from Boston, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in political science and criminal justice at Salem State University. After receiving his degree, he went on a month-long road trip with his college roommates to California. It was then that he found Phoenix.

“It was fun. We spent about a month on the road and we came through Phoenix actually on our way out west,” Savoy said. “I’d never experienced the desert before — Spanish architecture and different food. I just really loved it out here.”

After wrapping up his time in California, Savoy knew where he was headed next.

He got his start in PUSD in 1981 as a substitute teacher for Desert Palms Elementary, where he was offered a contract.

“I walked into a sixth grade class as a substitute teacher and knew within 30 seconds that this is what I was meant to do for my entire life,” Savoy said.

Savoy had originally planned to attend law school after college, but found teaching and never stopped. He still calls it his “best decision ever.”

He taught for 11 years in the Peoria district, moving from Desert Palms to Sundance and Pioneer elementaries, specializing in junior high.

“I spent most of my time at Sundance — always junior high. I love seventh and eighth grade kids,” Savoy said.

During this time he received his master’s in education and leadership from NAU, after which he moved on from teaching and became the assistant principal and subsequently principal of Desert Valley Elementary over the span of nine years. He made his way over to Alta Loma Elementary as principal for another four years before officially signing on to the PUSD of-

fice, where he has stayed for the last 15 years.

Savoy may not be a native to Arizona, but he has created his roots here through his dedication to family and work. He and his wife, Carol, met in 1988 and decided to blend their families. Savoy now has five children and 12 grandchildren, all of whom are either PUSD alumni or current PUSD students.

I’m just going to be me, take a break, recharge. I’m going to do a lot of traveling, so I’m looking forward to that. It’s a new chapter.

- Steve Savoy “One granddaughter is graduating from Liberty this year,” Savoy said proudly. “We’re excited for her. She wants to be a firefighter. She does really good as a student.”

Savoy started out in the district office as a K-12 administrator, learning the ropes of the position.

“That’s where you kind of cut your teeth and you learn,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s a lot of challenges and a lot of rewards.”

Savoy was then promoted to chief of operations and finally deputy superintendent. Running an entire district can’t be easy, let alone the third largest

in the state, but Savoy said his team is what makes the job run smoothly.

“There’s a lot of components that make it all run, and you need that support from so many people to make it be successful every day,” Savoy said.

“That’s the challenges of this job, but it’s also incredibly exciting. I love it. I absolutely love it.”

PUSD remains the largest employer of Peoria. Savoy said this year the district has more than 4,000 employees.

But he has witnessed a lot of changes to PUSD from when he started 38 years ago.

“When I came to the district there were six elementary schools and two high schools: Peoria and Cactus high school. That was a big rivalry,” Savoy said. “Today, we have 33 elementary schools, seven comprehensive high schools and one flex academy.”

Savoy said PUSD now has over 37,000 students enrolled, compared to what he estimates as 4,000 to 6,000 when he began his career.

Though some things do change, others remain the same. Cactus and Peoria would sooner freeze over than abandon their decades-old rivalry, for instance.

The most impactful growth of PUSD for Savoy has been the introduction of career and technical education in schools. These programs can help students complete intensive, career-based coursework and earn industry certification before they graduate, which can make them immediately employable.

Examples of this include culinary, early

childhood education and nursing programs available on school campuses.

“The growth of career and technical education has really provided all sorts of opportunities for our students to be college and career ready. It gives students the opportunity to explore all different avenues before they graduate in a lot of different arenas,” Savoy said.

School is meant for more than just securing a good future, though. It’s also a place for students to grow socially amongst their peers. Savoy recognizes this as a pivotal part of PUSD’s goals.

“We know that the more we get students involved in school the more they’ll be successful. School is a good place for kids to be; it’s a good, safe place. They make a lot of friends; they learn about life,” Savoy said. “We’ve always been a district that’s focused on the whole child.”

For Savoy, his favorite interactions with students are his own former students, who often approach him to share anecdotes from his teaching career, asking him, “Do you remember when…?” and he is immediately taken back in time. It’s a defining moment for him.

These days, as he nears his retirement, however, some of those anecdotes leave him surprised at the longevity of his own career.

“Now I have kids who tell me about their mother or their grandmother and it’s like, ‘Whoa!’” he said with a laugh.

With the culmination of so many years of hard work fast approaching, and an obvious love of the position he held, is there anything he won’t miss?

“The phone calls that come in at all hours of the night and the weekends — usually a concern that came up with a school somewhere. Those, I won’t miss,” he said.

He has had his fair share of the wild and weird at PUSD, even more so than the occasional flood or fire alarm. No, the most memorable for him are from seniors determined to make a lasting impression on their school via an old American tradition: senior pranks.

“Some of the senior pranks over the years have been pretty funny, but we won’t put that in there because that’ll give them ideas,” he said with a laugh.

When his career finally ends on June 1 of this year, he’ll be taking a much-needed break. He plans to visit Europe for the first time with his wife in September, when the two will travel

to Spain, Italy, Croatia and the French coast.

“I’m just going to be me, take a break, recharge. I’m going to do a lot of traveling, so I’m looking forward to that. It’s a new chapter,” he said.

Savoy isn’t leaving PUSD without giving some final advice, though.

When he looks to the future, Savoy hopes to see public education continue to survive and thrive in the Peoria community. Though only 30% of Peoria homes send their children to PUSD, 100% of those living in the district are the ones supporting their neighborhood schools.

“The democratic ideals of our nation, the United States of America … is that we all support an educational opportunity for every child,” Savoy said.

Above all else, Savoy believes in the power of the Peoria community to protect and maintain good public education.

“If you access that education, if you make it the best opportunity, you can do anything you want in your life,” Savoy said.

“There is nothing you cannot do.

That’s why every family has an opportunity for economic, cultural and

The Glendale Star social success, because if the family sits down and says, ‘Education is a priority in our home’ … 100% guarantee that student will be successful. There’s other kids that are successful in spite of not having any of that support.

“That’s the great story of America, that’s the story of the American dream and that story is told every day to the 37,000 kids in our district.”

Hit-and-run suspect turns self in to police

PUSD fills vacant administrative positions

BY DARRELL JACKSON

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF At the May 9 governing board meeting, Peoria Unified Governing board members filled two vacant administrative positions at the district: deputy superintendent and chief operations, safety and risk management officer for the 2019-20 school year.

Dr. Jason Reynolds was appointed as the deputy superintendent. He will replace Steve Savoy, who is retiring.

(See story on page 8.) Shawn Duguid will take John Croteau’s position as chief operations, safety and risk management officer. Croteau has accepted an opportunity at another district.

Reynolds has served as assistant superintendent of leadership and secondary instruction within the Paradise Valley Unified School District since 2015, though he started his career much further back.

Reynolds began his professional tenure with PVUSD in 1997, where he has also held positions of director of curriculum and instruction, principal, assistant principal and teacher.

He is the Arizona School Administrators Association’s president elect and serves as a board member of the North Phoenix Chamber of Commerce.

He has degrees from Central College and Northern Arizona University.

Duguid currently serves as an executive director of elementary education and recently was principal of Oakwood Elementary School.

He has been serving as a certified educator within the district since 1998 and is a former Peoria Unified student.

Duguid has a bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University and a master’s degree in educational leadership from NAU. PUSD is home to 42 public schools that are created to fit the needs of all students. It is the choice district for more than 37,000 students and 4,000 staff, serving as one of the largest employers in the West Valley and one of the largest unified school districts in Arizona.

The district has signature programs spread out between 34 kindergarten through eighth grade elementary

The driver suspected of hitting a 12-year-old boy on a skateboard and fleeing the scene May 6 has turned himself over to Glendale police.

Jesse Mendoza, 44, turned himself in May 8 after surveillance camera photos showing his vehicle surfaced, Sgt. John Roth said the following morning.

According to Roth, the 12-year-old boy was riding his skateboard near Camelback Road and 63rd Avenue around 8:45 p.m. May 6 when a black box truck struck him and raced away.

“I was walking down the street when I heard a loud crashing sound,” local resident William Featherton said. “This truck goes racing by me and then I saw this body flying across the street.”

Mendoza fled the scene without stopping or contacting police. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries and is still receiving medical care, according to Roth.

“Once the ambulance arrived, they quickly got to the boy and were helping him,” Featherton said. “It was pretty scary to see a little boy on the street with blood everywhere.”

Police are still investigating the accident, but were able to obtain photos of the suspect’s vehicle via security cameras as it fled the scene. After the photos were circulated throughout the community by police, officers received calls about the truck.

Upon turning himself in, Mendoza told officers he saw the media broadcasts of the photos and decided to hand himself over, Roth said. Officers arrested Mendoza and took custody of his vehicle.

Mendoza was booked into jail on suspicion of failure to stop for an accident involving serious injury, failure to render reasonable assistance to an injured pedestrian, driving on a suspended or revoked driver’s license, and tampering with physical evidence.

Quezada joins education advisory committee

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Sen. Martin Quezada, Pendergast Elementary School District board member, has joined the advisory committee for NALEO’s Education Leadership Academy.

NALEO Educational Fund launched the NALEO Education Leadership Academy in 2017 to support the success of education policymakers in the state of Arizona.

“It is vital to me that we learn all we can about the current best practices to enhance and improve the educational experiences of our students,” Quezada said.

“Being part of this advisory committee will enable me to share what I learn with our district administrators as well as my colleagues in the Arizona Legislature.

“Every child deserves the chance for a high-quality education, as that is the key to success for the future. I appreciate all that Pendergast district does to support our students and fam-

ilies and show them what is possible.”

The academy will implement NALEO’s evidence-based training model for providing governance and policy content training opportunities to public officials, with a focus on underserved and underrepresented communities.

The goal is to support policymakers as they work to improve student learning outcomes and narrow achievement gaps from birth to college completion.

“Sen. Quezada enhances our board and the Arizona Legislature with his knowledge, determination and thoughtfulness in decision making,” Superintendent Dr. Lily Matos Deblieux said.

“He is always looking to learn and share his knowledge to better our district and the state. We are so proud of him and his efforts and congratulate him on this prestigious committee appointment.”

Tucson case shows nonsensical immigration policy

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

It’s been 24 years since I moved to Arizona and nothing much has changed about immigration politics in all that time. The sad, strange case of 18-yearold Thomas Torres-Maytorena proves as much.

Thomas, a senior at Desert View High School in Tucson, is said to be virtually everything we look for in a teenager today: A student with graduation robes hanging in his closet for a May 22 diploma ceremony. A cornerback on the Jaguars football team who bussed tables and did yard work to earn cash.

A young man with dreams of becoming an electrical engineer. A teen described by his friends to reporters as hard-working, down to earth and kind.

These are all qualities which typically generate zero news coverage, if not

for the fact that Torres-Maytorena is in the United States illegally, brought to Arizona as a toddler by his family.

With his kin gone back to Mexico, the 18-year-old currently lives in Tucson with the family of his closest buddy.

It’s an arrangement that made national headlines last week after Pima County Sheriff’s deputies pulled over Torres-Maytorena and two friends on the night of May 2 for driving in a vehicle with suspended insurance.

The deputy asked Torres-Maytorena for his driver’s license and ID, according to police. The teen could not provide this, and questioning ensued.

Torres-Maytorena ultimately “admitted to the deputy that he was in the country illegally,” according to a Pima Sheriff’s press release. “It was at this point Border Patrol was contacted. Border Patrol proceeded to take custody of Torres-Maytorena.”

Torres-Maytorena spent the next five days in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Casa Grande.

On May 6, his Desert View classmates staged a walk out on his behalf, trudging four miles from the school to the sheriff’s office in a protest covered across Arizona and in the New York Times. Late on May 7, ICE released Thomas, but not before putting him into deportation proceedings.

“An immigration judge with the Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review will determine if Mr. Torres-Maytorena has legal basis to remain in the United States,” an ICE spokeswoman explained.

All of which leaves me grappling with the same question I’ve been asking for nearly a quarter century whenever the subject of illegal immigration arises.

Is Thomas Torres-Maytorena really the sort of human being we want to spend our limited law enforcement and judicial resources deporting?

A teenager for whom Mexico has never been much of a home? A hard-working kid whose most serious crime ap-

pears to be overstaying his visa to avoid going back to the Third World?

It’s the same question I asked myself back in the mid-1990s, when I trekked to the Arizona-Mexico border for the first time, meeting people walking north who looked starved of everything from food to opportunity.

It’s the same question I asked in 1999 and 2000, when we spent months debating the fate of a little Cuban 5-yearold named Elian Gonzalez, who the feds ultimately deported after seizing at gunpoint from his American relatives.

In 2010, Arizona passed Senate Bill 1070 and we debated the same question. Nowadays, the same question comes up whenever President Trump boasts about his “big, beautiful wall.”

My answer? It’s simple. The only smart immigration solution is one that draws a bright line between deporting real criminals and real threats versus arresting and deporting 18-year-olds like Thomas Torres-Maytorena.

That young man is not the problem.

The problem is that we have spent the better part of the past 25 years chattering, bickering and twiddling our thumbs, meanwhile doing next to nothing to protect this country or to grant a teenage boy his chance at the American Dream.

GCU grad fought twice as hard for her diploma

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Glendale Star Staff Writer

Megan Squire sat in her black robe with a purple shawl, on the Grand Canyon University basketball court. She was ready to receive the diploma people repeatedly said she would not earn because she has Down syndrome.

“For so many years, all I heard was what she can’t do,” said Kimberly Squire, Megan’s mom.

Kimberly said she had a normal pregnancy with Megan and that it wasn’t until the day of her birth she learned her daughter had Down syndrome.

Kimberly feels thankful for her baby.

“I was grateful because I worried the whole time I was pregnant that something would be wrong,” Kimberly said.

“So, I was really grateful that that’s what it was because I knew that was something I can handle.”

Six weeks after she was born, Megan began therapy and the doctors said she would be challenged. Kimberly was told Megan would have problems walking at an early age, learning and finishing school.

“We heard so many things that they (kids with Down syndrome) don’t graduate high school, that they can only read at a fifth grade level, and every time we’d hear something like that, it would just push us a little harder,” Kimberly said.

“They were giving us all these perimeters and we just started breaking them; one after another.”

After 23 years, Kimberly watched Megan walk across the stage to earn her bachelor’s degree in theater with a minor in psychology. Megan made sure to turn around to wave at her family.

Megan said she knew she wanted to

go to college after graduating from Verrado High School.

“I like to go to school and get caught up with my education,” Megan said.

At Verrado, she was on the cheerleading squad for four years, following in the footsteps of her older sister, Michaela; her biggest inspiration.

She also developed a passion for theater and performing. It was this passion that would allow Megan to meet singer Katy Perry.

In her junior year, Megan and her classmates produced a video as part of a nationwide school competition. The challenge was to create a narrative to Perry’s hit “Roar.”

Verrado chose to make Megan the star of the video and based the narrative on her experience auditioning for the cheerleading team. Eventually, she performed at the school’s basketball game.

The video went viral, and although Verrado did not win the competition, Perry took notice of its video and Megan.

Megan appeared on “Good Morning America” and was invited to be Perry’s date at the AMAs; her family traveled with her as well.

Megan earned a four-year scholarship to GCU after she graduated. The only caviat was she had to maintain her 2.9 GPA. She did.

“I felt really nervous at first and then I went to my second year and I felt more comfortable,” Megan said about college.

She admitted there were days when she felt she wouldn’t finish.

“There were semesters that I would just say, ‘We’re done, you can’t do it anymore. I don’t want to do this to you,’” Kimberly said. “And then she would wake up the next morning and say, ‘Mom, I can do it. I want to do it.’”

Although Megan struggled in col-

lege, she always remembered to have fun.

“My favorite memory is when I helped build the set on the stage for a ‘West Side Story,’” Megan said.

Now that she’s a college graduate, Megan is looking forward to a career in acting. She’s taking improv classes and looking for an agent. In addition, Megan spends her free time at St. Mary’s Food Bank, where she has been volunteering for two years.

Kimberly said she is proud of Megan and is looking forward to seeing her accomplishments. She worked hard to make sure Megan would not be set back by her condition, and that she would not consider herself disabled.

“If you don’t label them, then they don’t carry that for the rest of their life,” Kimberly said.

As for Megan, she said she would like to inspire other young folks with disabilities who are interested in theater.

With role models like Amy Adams, Megan has a long road ahead, but she is confident in her abilities.

“I can do anything as long as I am willing to work for it,” Megan said.

The Moen triplets are ready to make their mark

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

They’re looking to do big things and take advantage of the abilities they have.

That’s something we’re most proud of.

– Karin Moen

Glendale Star Executive Editor

Triplets Claire, Grant and Anders Moen have spent a lifetime together.

Now that they’ve graduated from ASU’s Barrett, the Honors College, West Campus in Glendale, their lives will change. Claire and Grant are looking into medical schools, while Anders has applied to teach English in Japan and wants to further study international policy. He longs to work for the State Department.

“It’s going to be very weird,” Grant said about being apart. “There’s a good chance we’ll be living in different places and going to different schools. Anders and I are preparing for grad school right now. We’ll be living together for a little while longer.

“I compare it to what our experience was graduating high school. We moved to a different state. It was a brand-new experience. There’s a good chance my brother and I won’t be living in the same place. That’ll be interesting.”

The Moen triplets moved from Benton, Arkansas, in 2015 to attend ASU with the support of scholarships, and because their father had a job opportunity here. Each received a New American University Scholarship, along with a slew of other scholarships between them, including a private business scholarship for Anders, an SRP scholarship for Claire and a National Merit Scholarship for Grant.

“It was nice having people we knew, instead of going on this new adven-

ture on our own,” Claire said. “I had a support system. Grant and I had three classes together, so I had somebody to study with. Throughout the years, we’ve had our own journeys in college.

“It’s really exciting to grow as individuals but to support each other.

I know for our parents, it was nice of them to know we were all together. It was a good peace of mind for them, knowing we would all have each other.”

After looking at other Arizona universities, the triples chose ASU West because of the staff, especially Associ-

ate Dean Eric Ramsey.

“We really connected with the staff,” she said. “They made us feel this is the place. It was a safe and supportive environment for us. It was a big transition, going from a very small school in southern Arkansas to one of the largest colleges. ASU West was small enough that it wasn’t going to be overwhelming.”

Anders added, “ASU made the choice for us. The Barrett staff at ASU was very helpful and very outgoing in trying to recruit us. They really sold

their school well.

“The Barrett staff is all very impressive. The professor-to-student radio is very low, which is really nice. It makes things more personal with professors.

You get to know them a lot better.”

Claire, who has experience as a medical scribe for cardiologists and oncologists, earned a bachelor’s degree with double majors in biology and psychology. Grant obtained a bachelor’s degree in biology with a minor in political science. Anders graduated with a bachelor’s degree in political science.

The 22-year-old triplets were active in extracurricular projects as well.

Claire researched the effects of climate on black widow spiders in an ASU lab, and helped plan student events as a member of the ASU West Program and Activities Board.

Grant researched a compound called Bexarotene and its possible uses in developing drugs to treat breast cancer.

He also worked on student events and activities with the Program and Activities Board.

Wildlife World Zoo named best zoo in Arizona

Wildlife World helping African lions, jackals, sustain biodiversity warthogs born at zoo

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Despite volumes of data currently available on mankind, it is surprising how little is known about other species.

A paper published recently in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences — using data recorded by Wildlife World Zoo in collaboration with other zoos and aquariums worldwide — confirms critical information, such as fertility and survival rates, is missing from global data for more than 98% of known species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians.

That changed when researchers added data from a previously untapped source: the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS).

Across classes of species, key blanks fill with salient data. Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park records its animal data in ZIMS, which is curated by wildlife professionals working within zoos, aquariums, refuge, research and education centers in 97 countries. It is maintained by Species360,

As a USDA-licensed, private institution accredited by the Zoological Association of America and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums, Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park receives zero taxpayer funding. No tax dollars have ever been spent to build or operate Wildlife World in its 35-year history.

a nonprofit, member-driven organization that facilitates information sharing among its nearly 1,200 institutional members and is the world’s largest set of wildlife data. Wildlife World Zoo has been contributing data on its animals since 1985.

“It seems inconceivable,” said Dalia A. Conde, lead researcher and Species360 Conservation Science Alliance director. “Yet scientists tasked with saving species often have to power through with best-guess assumptions that we hope approximate reality.”

A multidisciplinary team led by Species360 Conservation Science Alliance, with participants from 19 institutions, believes knowledge can be substantially increased by applying new analytics to data that has been long overlooked — using data contributed by Wildlife World Zoo and other zoos and aquariums around the world.

The team of 33 scientists including data analysts, biologists and population dynamics specialists developed the first Species Knowledge Index to map just how much is known about species worldwide. The index aggregates, analyzes and maps data from 22 databases and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

“Wildlife World has added data on 10,361 birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals of 840 species, making a huge impact on the understanding of those species’ life histories,” said Mickey Ollson, director of Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park. “Providing that missing data — filling in those gaps — is game-changing for these species.”

Route 303 and Northern Avenue. It is open seven days a week, 365 days a year, including all holidays. Zoo exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Last zoo admission is at 4:30 p.m.) Aquarium exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission includes access to the zoo, aquarium and safari park.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park has announced the birth of three African lion cubs, two baby warthogs and a litter of jackals. The babies are receiving around-the-clock care by Wildlife World’s expert hand raising and veterinarian team.

The lion cubs receive bottles of formula several times a day and are weighed daily. Over the next few weeks, they will begin the transition to include meat in their diet. As one of the most recognizable animal symbols in the world, African lions were accurately the “King of the Jungle.” However, they are now listed as vulnerable by the IUCN due to habitat loss

and pursuit in unprotected areas. The population is believed to have fallen by up to 50% in the last 50 to 60 years.

Habitat loss and degradation along with increased poaching remain the biggest threats to their survival.

Wildlife World strives to maximize genetic diversity in the zoological population with its breeding programs.

With more than 600 species and 6,000 animals on display, there are always new arrivals at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park.

Other babies on display include Jr., the sea lion pup; a colobus monkey; spider monkey; twin red-handed tamarins; several hoofed animal species like baby goats in the petting zoo; and other youngsters throughout the 100-acre park.

Historical society teaches about Thunderbird Field

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Thunderbird Field and the subsequent Thunderbird School of Global Management is one of the most important parts of Glendale’s history.

The Glendale Historical Society’s members and guests have a unique opportunity to learn the history of these important historical resources from historian Nelda Crowell, assistant vice president and archivist for the school, at 7 p.m. Monday May 20, at Manistee Ranch.

She will also talk about the future of the historic Thunderbird Field site.

Over 10,000 cadets were trained at Thunderbird Field to be pilots and fight in WWII. And the Thunderbird School of Global Manage-

ment was recognized as the top international business school in the world.

It was in Glendale for over 70 years until the school’s move to Arizona State University and downtown Phoenix.

At the event, refreshments will be served. Manistee Ranch is at 5127 W. Northern Avenue. Enter off of 51st Avenue.

in Washington, D.C., and studied Japanese.

UA Phoenix is Claire’s top choice for medical school so she can stick around town. She has established a relationship with Banner Thunderbird Hospital, as she volunteered there.

“I’ve been passionate about the medical field since I was little,” she said. “I was a weird kid. I would watch Discovery Health all day. I found it fascinating. I never deviated from that path. I was interested in it because it’s always changing. You never know what you’re going to see each day. It makes for a meaningful life to live, being able to help people on a daily basis.”

Grant has similar aspirations.

“I’m getting ready to take the MCAT,” he said. “I’m guessing I’d like to go into general practice. I’ve had the most experience in that. I had an internship where I worked for Desert Grove Family Medical Center in Tempe for a summer.

Their parents, Todd and Karin Moen of Gilbert, said their children have inspired them.

“They have a unique bond being triplets,” Todd said. “It’s a neat thing watching them grow up.”

May 16, 2019 For Karin, graduation made her reminisce about the life of the triplets, who are athletes, as well.

“For Claire, I mentioned to her she would be outside during recess, in second grade or earlier, reading books,” Karin said. “Early on, they all had a love of reading and learning. We made that a focal point of how we raised them. Seeing where they’re at now is amazing. It’s been a part of who they are since they were young. They have that interest and desire to always be learning.”

The Moen triplets are smart and have accomplished a lot in their 22 years, Karin said.

“They’re good people with good hearts,” she said. “They’re looking to do big things and take advantage of the abilities they have. That’s something we’re most proud of.”

Anders, too, has high hopes for his siblings and himself.

“I know they’re (Claire and Grant) going to do great things and we’ll, of course, meet up often in the future,” Anders said. “Even though we’re going separate ways, I have faith they’re both going to do well. I have confidence it’ll work out well.”

Getting out when you find yourself in a rut Two frogs were hopping in a rut in the middle of a road. One frog got tired of being in a rut and jumped out. The liberated frog encouraged his friend to do the same. However, the other frog had learned to tolerate rut life. He felt the walls were too high for him to jump out. Suddenly, a big truck came toward him. The truck’s tire was in the same rut as the forlorn frog was. The frog had an “a-ha” moment. Gathering his resolve and strength, the frog easily jumped out of the rut.

Lesson: Nothing will get you out of a rut quicker than a big, big reason to get out. The problem was not that the frog couldn’t or shouldn’t jump out of the rut. The problem was the frog wouldn’t jump out of the rut.

Having been a pastor for many years, I have noticed two types of causes that get us humans into ruts. The first cause

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

comes from mistakes we have made in the past. It was our fault or a bad decision we made, and we know it. We feel remorse, hurt, embarrassment, shame, guilt and the like for the hurt we have caused others with our actions.

As a result, we get stuck in the rut of the “woulda…shoulda…couldas.” We spend our lives wishing we could go back in the past, change what we did or said, and go on from there. We want a redo! This is good because it means we have accepted our responsibility in creating the mess. But the downside is

Midwestern University

[Body Donation Program]

we tend to keep internally beating ourselves up for what we did, seemingly forever.

The second cause of how we get into ruts comes from what people or institutions have done to us. We feel we are the victim, and perhaps we are.

But note when we get stuck in the rut of victimization, we tend to stay there for a long time. We blame, we justify, we act out, we lose control and we lose hope. We get angry or depressed about what happened to us. We nurture our hurt or betrayal again and again. The problem is victims become self-fulfilling prophecies. Many with the victim complex don’t get better; they get bitter. They get stuck. Some even get run over by the truck. Note: you can’t get ahead of someone if you’re trying to get even with them.

God doesn’t want us to just cope.

God wants us to overcome. How? By applying His grace to our situation.

God says His word: “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28.

“All things” means “all things.” That includes our failures, our trespasses, our backsliding, our shame, our blame, our past, the hurts done to us by others, everything. God takes everything wrong that was done to us and everything that we have done wrong to others and redeems it. What was intended for evil, God uses for our good and the

good of others. Jesus told us this in the Lord’s prayer: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us.”

What hurts us is not the sin against us. What hurts is the anger, shame, pity, bitterness or betrayal we feel.

God deals with the sin part of the hurt first. God forgives us for what we have done to others as well as what others have done to us. Then God heals the emotional hurt causing us to relive our hurt, ad infinitum.

Here’s some advice on ruts. Find a purpose in what happened to you.

The worst thing that has happened to you may become your life ministry or cause. God’s grace applied to your life not only touches you for good, but now through you, on a reverse course, God’s amazing grace goes and touches everyone for good who hurt you…or who you hurt.

By receiving God’s grace and allowing everything that has happened to us to work for our good and God’s purposes, we close the gates of hell and open the gates of heaven, freeing us and those who hurt us. When you do this, you will discover you just jumped out of the rut. I knew you could.

Mountain Ridge hires new football coach

BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Mountain Ridge High School football took the first step in changing its culture in late April when the Mountain Lions hired Doug Madoski to fill their vacated coaching spot.

Madoski coached the Scottsdale Community College football team for over a decade, bringing both a wealth of coaching experience and knowledge of the area’s talent to the school.

Driving past the school on his work commute nearly every day — Madoski lives just minutes from campus — he had been intrigued with the school for a long time. When Scottsdale terminated its football program, the nearby football program with a need for a tenured coach seemed a perfect fit.

“I noticed where the program was and thought that if I’m not going to be in

why would I not do it?” he said.

However, he is taking on a project many might shy from.

Mountain Ridge went a winless 0-10 last year, and 2-8 the prior year, before the departure of former coach Vince Ciliberti this offseason. Despite a couple of tough seasons, the effort Madoski has seen from players in his short tenure has been impressive.

“A lot of times teams that are down, you don’t see that passion,” he said.

“They kind of get kicked in the teeth so many times that they stay down, but these kids keep wanting to get back up, and that’s exciting.”

Among the challenges of starting anew are the surrounding high schools, with so many options for great athletes to choose from.

There are several state powerhouse

teams in the Glendale and Peoria area — Centennial, Liberty, Greenway, Cactus, Sunrise Mountain and Liberty all won at least one playoff game in the 2018 season — and one of the team’s goals is to persuade the top players who should feed into Mountain Ridge from transferring or enrolling in other programs.

“There really is some talent here, so we’re going to try to keep them around,” Madoski said.

Part of that will come with the development. Though he had a chance to coach great players at the college level, Madoski had the Scottsdale players for a maximum of two years, often less. In high school, from the freshman to varsity level, there is a chance to mold young men into the players he needs later on at an early age.

“By the time you saw real progress from the guys in Scottsdale, you were sending them off. Now I know we can slow this thing down and get our freshman and JV teams up and coming so that they’re solid when they reach the varsity level,” Madoski said.

The new coach hopes win totals will increase in years to come, but understands it will be a long process. However, more importantly, he hopes to create a new culture for the surrounding area, to make for a team the already-proud community is excited to support.

“It’s not going to be an overnight project,” he said. “It’s a total transformation of an entire program, and we’re going to change the culture and everything we do to set this thing back up on a solid foundation, and work from there.”

New library launches with hero-centric event

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF After much excitement and anticipation, the Heroes Regional Park Library, Glendale’s most western branch, will finally open Saturday, May 18.

Falling in line with the library’s name, the grand opening will be a superhero-studded party beginning at 9 a.m.

West Valley residents of all ages are invited to join in the fun with their favorite comic and movie heroes.

But the library’s name — “Heroes” — was truly born with a different intent.

Coming down to a community vote, the name was selected out of a desire to honor Glendale’s heroes.

Keeping in line with that theme, the new space will feature displays recognizing these heroes. And aside from comic and movie heroes, the event will honor these real-life heroes, such as teachers

and first responders.

“I encourage everyone to join in this joyful celebration of Glendale’s newest quality-of-life amenity,” Vice Mayor Joyce Clark said.

After opening remarks by Clark, Mayor Jerry Weiers, State Librarian of Arizona Holley Henley and Community Services Director Stephanie Small, residents can tour the new library and enjoy activities in and outside.

Cosplayers from the Arizona Avengers and Justice League of Arizona will be available for photos; there will be a selfie station, face painting and a balloon artist; kids can enjoy a scavenger hunt with prizes; and adult patrons can explore volunteer opportunities, meet the new library staff and learn about the

Discovery and Exploration Backpack program as well as the new 3D printer.

“With the completion of this newest amenity in Heroes Regional Park the city has begun to fulfill its long-awaited promise to complete the development of Heroes Park, benefiting all of Glendale’s residents,” Clark said.

The library itself was built as a stateof-the-art building with over 7,515 square feet of public space, with individual outdoor patio and programming space for youth, teens and adults. The environmentally friendly building also features rainwater management and water harvesting features.

The opening day collection features materials with an early literacy focus and multimedia and bilingual materials, with room to expand to 25,000 volumes. The building features digital climate control,

LED lighting and timer switches and a community programming room that can be divided into smaller spaces. The library also features a study room, youth story nook, family restroom and more.

It will also serve as home to public art from the nationally celebrated artist Pete Goldlust, whose work is part of the city of Glendale’s commitment to provide public art in all library spaces system wide.

There are three pieces at Heroes Park Regional Library named “Neighborhood Roots: From Sugar Beets to Cotton and Beyond.” The works reflect the rich and compelling heritage of the Yucca District. The artwork is reflected in the terrazzo flooring, sand-blasted etched glass doors and a metal sculpture affixed to the east entryway.

Heroes Regional Park Library is a branch of the Glendale Public Library System. It is located at 6075 N. 83rd Avenue.

The Glendale Public Library is a division of the city’s community services department. For more information, call 623-930-3590.

Two local seniors named 2019 Flinn Scholars

BY ANDREA ESTRADA Glendale Star Staff Writer

Andrea Ramirez and Joe Thomas sparked a sense of pride at their schools when they were recognized as some of Arizona’s highest-achieving high-school seniors.

Out of nearly 900 applicants, Ramirez, who attends Glendale High School, and Thomas, who attends Ironwood High School, were selected to receive the Flinn Scholarship — a highly-competitive, merit-based award offered by the Flinn Foundation — in late April.

The Flinn Scholarship, awarded to 20 recipients in Arizona this year, is a fouryear scholarship that exceeds $120,000 and covers the full cost of tuition, housing and meal plans at any of the three in-state universities: Arizona State University (ASU), Northern Arizona University and The University of Arizona.

Because all of their expenses will be waived, Anne Lassen, scholarship and education initiatives vice president at the Flinn Foundation, said the scholars don’t have to work during their college years in order to make ends meet.

“They can focus their time on their studies; getting involved in research; signing up to take on leadership roles throughout college,” Lassen said. “It’s a wonderful thing to know we have the capacity to really invest in these young men and women and give them the opportunity to dive 100% into their undergraduate studies and pursue things they

really care about.”

Ramirez, who plans to pursue a Bachelor of Science in biological sciences with a concentration in genetics, cell and developmental biology at ASU, said the Flinn Scholarship allowed her to choose an area of study she’s passionate about rather than settling for one that’s affordable.

“Originally, I was going to go into an art major since art was going to be an easier major to fulfill — price-wise. But with this scholarship I can expand and take advantage of the money that’s being provided. I can do something better and more enjoyable that I love and apply

it to helping people and having not necessarily a higher-paying job, but a more fulfilling job,” Ramirez said.

And Thomas, who also chose to attend ASU, where he plans to pursue a double major in economics and history, said the scholarship solves a major “financial headache” for his family.

“A big part of it (winning the Flinn Scholarship) is financing my college education. Just the practical reality that for the next four years everything is paid for.

That’s just a burden removed,” Thomas said.

In addition to a full-ride education, Lassen said the scholarship will provide

the scholars with two funded international travel experiences: a three-week cohort seminar and an independent trip.

“Travel is a really important component of the program,” she said. “We want them to be global citizens, and we see a lot of benefits from the experiences our scholars have abroad.”

Thomas said international travel will complement his area of study.

“I’m trying to go for an economics major. So, it’s giving me the opportunity to analyze how countries deal with financial issues and issues surrounding the economy,” he said.

Ramirez and Thomas will also have access to events where they will connect with current and alumni Flinn Scholars and receive guidance from them, Lassen said.

“We want them to really find a community both within their current scholar community that they can lean on and grow with, but also to reach out and be exposed to the alumni network that’s here to really support them and help them achieve their potential,” Lassen said.

Russell Dunham, principal at Ironwood High School, believes the Flinn Scholarship is a “life-changing” opportunity.

“The scholarship money itself is incredible. But along with it come these opportunities to do some amazing things.

Credit Union West awards scholarships to five students

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The strength of a community depends on the quality of its leaders.

So, to support the development of future leaders in Maricopa and Yavapai counties, Credit Union West has awarded five graduating high school seniors $1,000 scholarships to use toward college costs.

The 2019 Credit Union West Scholarship recipients are Andrea Giacini, Sandra Day O’Conner High School; Samantha Latto, Centennial High School; Sierra McConnell, BASIS

Prescott Charter School; Taylor Kluge, Sunrise Mountain High School; and Zackary Zertuche, Prescott High School.

The scholarships were awarded based on academic achievement, community service and overall character.

Applicants were required to submit an essay on the role personal finance plays in meeting career goals. Two of the selected recipients — Latto and Zertuche — are Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) students.

“The cost of higher education is ris-

ing, and we want to help local high school graduates take this important step in their personal career and economic development,” said Karen Roch, president and CEO of Credit Union West.

The credit union is working to be part of the solution to rising education costs. Across the United States, the average cost of tuition and fees for the 2018-19 school year was $9,716 for state residents at public college and $35,676 at private colleges, up from the 2017-18 averages, according to data

in an annual survey by U.S. News.

Roch added, “There were so many impressive candidates this year that I’m confident our future is in capable hands.”

This is the sixth year the credit union has offered scholarships to Maricopa and Yavapai County high school graduates.

In a pursuit to help more local graduates continue their education, Credit Union West has provided $22,000 in scholarships since the inception of the program.

who are Flinn Scholars, past and present; this chance to travel — what an absolutely amazing opportunity,” Dunham said.

And Laurie Barden, Ramirez’s counselor at Glendale High School, said the Flinn Foundation helps students in lower-income areas like Glendale branch out by providing international travel and exposing them to other cultures.

“It’s less likely for it to happen for our students than it is for students from higher-income families. So, for (Ramirez) to have that opportunity is amazing,” Barden said.

While Lassen said most of the applicants who apply for the Flinn Scholarship are high-achieving individuals, the selection committee looks beyond academics.

“It’s really other characteristics and accomplishments that set those that get selected for the award apart,” she said.

“We, at the end of the day, pick students who are really passionate about things. They have pursued activities and involvement in high school not just because they were looking to check off items on their (resumes).”

Fittingly, Ramirez — who is involved in a number of activities at her school including National Honors Society, theater

and the AP (advanced placement) social studies club and volunteers at the Glendale Public Library — and Thomas — who is a member of the Spanish Honor and National Honors societies, is vice president of DECA and enjoys tutoring students at the library — stood out to the selection committee.

Ramirez, who is Hispanic, and Thomas, who was born in the United Arab Emirates, said it’s important for high school students from different backgrounds to have access to opportunities like the Flinn Scholarship.

“Meeting my fellow scholars, a lot of them were lower-income. They were not the most developed. And I think that’s a huge achievement — is giving kids from all corners of the state the opportunity to have a world-class education,” Thomas said.

Ramirez added, “Glendale is considered one of the ‘ghetto’ schools in the district. I hate labeling it like that because it’s not. It’s one of the most enriched and diverse.

“For me, the scholarship means a lot.

It means just because you come from somewhere where people don’t expect much from the students there doesn’t mean you can’t do anything that anyone else can do.”

EJ’s Auction and Goodwill help local charities

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Every Saturday, EJ’s Auction and Appraisal is bustling with bidders who purchase estate items live at the full-service Glendale auction house or online.

Items range from Picasso paintings to pots and pans, but sometimes items just don’t sell. On Sundays, Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona sends a truck to EJ’s to pick up the excess items that didn’t sell.

But it doesn’t stop there. EJ’s and Goodwill have worked out a unique arrangement where Goodwill weighs the donated items that didn’t sell at auction and then donates 10 cents per pound to local charities each quarter.

The idea came to life when William McCulloch, EJ’s floor setup manager, approached Joe Barba, Goodwill’s senior donation drive coordinator, to inquire how the two organizations could collaborate to help other nonprofits in the community.

“William has been spearheading EJ’s charitable programs, and he is passionate about helping others, especially

Thanks to a unique partnership between EJ’s Auction and Appraisal and Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona, the nonprofit School Connect was presented with a check for $2,762 at EJ’s auction house in Glendale. Pictured, from left, are William McCulloch, floor setup manager for EJ’s Auction and Appraisal; Jill Hicks, director of business partnerships for School Connect; Joe Barba, senior donation drive coordinator at Goodwill of Central and Northern Arizona; and Erik Hoyer, owner/ CEO of EJ’s Auction and Appraisal.

kids,” said Erik Hoyer, owner and auctioneer of EJ’s Auction and Appraisal.

“We’ve been pleased with Goodwill’s

capacity to accept our donated items, and the fact that they then turn around and donate a percentage back to our lo-

cal community speaks volumes about the good work they do.”

Barba said the partnership with EJ’s aligns with Goodwill’s mission to empower individuals, strengthen families and build stronger communities.

“Goodwill is committed to ending poverty through the power of work and promoting a sustainable environment,” Barba said. “All donated items help drive our vision as we offer no-cost career services where Arizonans can develop their digital skills, connect with career advisors and meet directly with hiring employers. Every year, Goodwill diverts nearly 200 million pounds of materials from going directly into Arizona landfills.”

The unique partnership has helped several nonprofits, such as School Connect, which was presented with a check for $2,762. The Arizona-based nonprofit works with hundreds of schools in Maricopa County and is expanding to serve other counties throughout Arizona. It is beginning to work with some six other cities across SEE CHARITY PAGE 29

Barro’s, Pepsi raising money for pediatric cancer

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor

Family-owned Barro’s Pizza and Pepsi are teaming up for the fourth year this June to raise money for those affected by pediatric cancer.

Next month, all Barro’s Pizza locations will donate proceeds up to $40,000 from the sale of any lunch special to the Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children, a local nonprofit which helps Arizona families with the high costs and challenging logistics while caring for their children during cancer treatment.

There is an array of daily lunch specials starting at 10:30 a.m. at all locations, including 20165 N. 67th Avenue, 13971 N. 59th Avenue and 16750 N. 51st Avenue, Suite 1.

The Glendale locations’ hours are: 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday; 10:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and

Saturday; and lunch hours are 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information, visit barrospizza.com.

“Helping others in our community is paramount to our family and our business,” said Bruce Barro, owner of Barro’s Pizza. “We are constantly looking for ways to make a difference in our community so, in June, we will donate all proceeds from the sales of any lunch special purchased to help families that have children battling cancer.”

Scottsdale Airpark-based Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children was founded by Chrisie Funari after she lost her young daughter, Ava, to stage four neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of pediatric cancer. Funari traveled the country seeking the best treatments and care for Ava. Knowing the struggle and the toll it takes on the family, Funari started the organization to empower families by

ensuring they have a secure place to live, access to medical treatment and continued support.

“Barro’s Pizza goes to such great lengths each year to support our mission,” Funari said. “We are so thankful for their generosity each summer. The All Barro’s Pizza locations will donate proceeds up to $40,000 from the sale of money donated any lunch special to the Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children in June. The effort is part of a partnership with Pepsi. (Photo courtesy Barro’s Pizza) will help cover expenses associated with a child’s can- and fun while undergoing treatment cer diagnosis, provide Sunshine Packs and emotional and financial support filled with items that provide comfort for end of life.”

Business Briefcase

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Have no fear; Carl’s Jr. is here — to stay, that is.

Hello, readers! Thanks for stopping back by Business Briefcase, where we cover all the hot topics in the business world, whether it be new businesses, closed businesses, construction and other developments, or even just informative, networking-centric gatherings to meet other likeminded individuals.

And the first item on today’s agenda, as mentioned moments ago, involves Carl’s Jr. The Glendale location, at 5775 W. Northern Avenue, east of the southeast corner of Northern and 59th avenues, was recently sold for $1.7 million as part of a two-location purchase. (The other one is in Tucson.) But this may not mean much to residents, or even avid burger enthusiasts, as the new owner, Phoenix-based Starcorp LLC, plans to keep operating both locations as Carl’s Jr. Chris Hollenbeck and Brad Douglass of Cushman and Wakefield represented seller Strata Equity Group, Inc., which previously controlled the two locations.

“Starcorp has been a well-known Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s franchisee here in Arizona, and we are glad they were able to purchase these properties to continue to operate the locations under the Carl’s Jr. name,” Hollenbeck said.

Joe Husband of Glendale Municipal Airport received one of two 2019 Airport Executive of the Year awards; Dr. Robin Sobotta of Prescott Regional Airport nabbed the other. Jared Bass of Dibble Engineering was named this year’s Corporate Member of the Year.

Husband is the current airport administrator and general manager of Glendale Municipal Airport. His career spans nearly 30 years, during which he has worked many different management roles. In his tenure, he has been director of three airports, two of which were general aviation reliever airports and one of which was a Part 139-certificated airport in transition. For more than half a year, last year, he managed two airports simultaneously. One of these was, as mentioned, the Glendale airport, while the other was in Kingman. He is also a Lead FAASTeam (Federal Aviation Administration safety team) representative, Aviation Safety Advisory Group of Arizona board member and
