NEWS..............3 Splash pads, other city facilities to reopen

May 21, 2020

After being virtually frozen for more than a month, Glendale businesses started to take tentative steps forward last week. From Westgate to Arrowhead, shops and restaurants were open, though with far less patrons than normal. Though restaurants were slowly accepting dine-in customers, the AMC Westgate movie theater and many shops remained closed, leaving plenty of space for those walking around. It was not the case everywhere, but some employees were wearing masks. The slow pace is the way Gov. Doug Ducey wants it. Like a lifeguard at a pool, Ducey’s message is,

“Walk, don’t run.” Ducey announced May 12 that his stay-home executive order would end three days later. “It is time to move forward with the next steps of Arizona’s economic recovery—while continuing to make health and safety our number one priority,” Ducey said. “This is not a green light to speed,” he added. “This is a green light to proceed.” Ducey said as long as they practice physical distancing and enhanced sanitation, gyms, spas, swimming pools and movie theaters could reopen. But few were ready to do so.

Memorial Day was called Decoration Day when it was first celebrated May 30, 1866. The somber holiday first honored soldiers who died during the Civil War, then American soldiers who died in any war. Sean Shields is an American soldier who served in Afghanistan. Though he was involved in multiple firefights and a Humvee accident, he didn’t die there. He came home to Peoria, where he decided he was going to end his life.

According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ most recent report, “The number of veteran suicides exceeded 6,000 each year from 2008 to 2017.” Depressed and haunted by memories of battle, feeling life was nothing more than a losing battle between physical pain and mental anguish, Shields got drunk and decided he was going to kill himself.

Just in time for Memorial Day, Glendale reopened parks and plans to open splash pads as early as this week. After Gov. Doug Ducey’s recent announcements lifting stay-home orders and allowing more businesses to open, the city of Glendale is following suit. “The city is looking to reopen other recreational facilities including the Foothills Recreation and Aquatics Center in June,” said Jay Crandall, a city spokesman. He said Glendale “will make the final decision on opening dates based on the latest health guidelines.” “The city will continue to follow recommended health guidelines as it begins to welcome residents back to recreational facilities, libraries and public meetings,” he said. Playground equipment and dog parks reopened Saturday, May 16. “Restrooms and splash pads will follow in late May. We are evaluating a May opening for skate parks as well,” Crandall said. He noted “grab-and-go” service began May 11 at the main Glendale Library. “Similar services are expected at Foothills, Velma Teague and Heroes Regional Park branches in early June,” Crandall said. There also was no firm date for Glendale’s center that serves many seniors. “The city will continue to evaluate the COVID-19 situation before making a final decision on the opening of the Glendale Adult Center. Protecting those most vulnerable to the virus will be the overriding factor in opening that facility,” Crandall said. After nearly two months of only being able to watch online meetings and participate via emails and voicemails, those who like to see local government in action live will be able to do so next week. “The public will be able to attend city council meetings and board and commission meetings in person starting with the city council workshop and voting meeting Tuesday, May 26,” Crandall said. “That meeting will be held at the

Glendale Civic Center, and appropriate measures will be in place for physical spacing consistent with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.” Crandall said Glendale City Hall, police and court lobbies would be open to the public “in early June.” Crandall stressed state and federal guidelines will be enforced. “Those using public amenities will still need to abide by the social distancing measures that are in place, as well as making sure groups are not larger than 10 people. Our city park rangers and code enforcement officers will be monitoring these locations regularly and will be responsible for

breaking up large groups and making sure people keep proper distance between themselves,” Crandall said. “Our employees will make sure that anyone in violation is informed about what measures need to be in place for them to be able to continue to use any of our public amenities.” City facilities will have more frequent cleanings, Crandall said. “Employees will find thermometer testing stations and increased availability of hand sanitizer, as many of them return to the office after telecommuting during the pandemic,” he added.

Sit-down movie theaters have not reopened, although the West Wind Glendale Drive-In is open and Westgate has a makeshift drive-in theater. And, though some casinos in the state reopened, Desert Diamond Casino West Valley stated on its website it would remain closed through May. When Ducey allowed barbers and salons to reopen last week, many rushed to get coiffed for the first time in nearly two months. Dannele Palmer, regional manager of Floyd’s 99 Barbershops, said the Glendale/Peoria location, like others, has been busy. “It’s been great,” Palmer said. “With opening of course there’s nerves and excitement—the unknown, how are we going to do sanitizing. We were all wearing masks and a little unsure how it was going to go.” But, she said, barbers and stylists adjusted on the fly: “They had it down like they’ve been doing it forever. Every hour, we’re doing a thorough sanitizing.” The new Floyd’s 99 motto: “No

We’re booking a couple days in advance,” Palmer said. To emphasize social distancing, Floyd’s 99 is not accepting walk-in customers. Those who have booked an

Is Your Pain Holding You Hostage? Let me ask you…

What have you been missing out on because you have chosen to ignore your pain? As we age, we are likely to experience pain problems and joint flare ups. If you suffer from this, you know the pain can be debilitating, even excruciating.

If you are 40+, know that there are ways for you to stay active and independent, live free from pain killers and avoid surgery... even if you’ve had pain for years. We’ve all had to change our routines to accommodate recent events. More people are finding themselves working from home, sitting more often and for longer durations, performing different types of exercises than they are used to, and doing all those chores around the house that they didn’t have time for before the pandemic. What concerns me most is the number of people I witness choosing to live with aches and pains.

Are you willing to continue to put up with pain that makes the hours drag on like years? OR - will you choose to take action and finally start living your life free of pain?

appointment are asked to check in by phone before entering the shop. “Before you enter the shop we do require a mask. We have one to offer them if they don’t have one,” Palmer said.

Gyms

The Glendale/Peoria Family YMCA is open—but with reduced hours (6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. during the week, closed weekends). And, according to a staff member who asked not to be identified, “Pool and basketball won’t be open until June 1.” Though the 18 Mountainside Fitness centers around the Valley, including Arrowhead Mall and Peoria, did not open last week, that was to change this week. “I am excited to welcome you back to Mountainside Fitness on Monday, May 18, as our fitness centers reopen,” Tom Hatten, Mountainside’s CEO, said in an announcement. “Our clubs are going above and beyond to ensure your health and safety,” he said. Mountainside Fitness has the following new policies in place, according to its website: • Sanitizing stations available throughout the club, including the front desk. • Staff will disinfect frequently touched areas with CDC-approved products. • Cardio equipment will be spaced accordingly to support social distancing. • Group Fitness classes will have decreased capacity and will be available for pre-booking 12 hours prior to class. • All employees will have temperature

Many restaurants have been seating customers for more than a week now, though again with Ducey guidelines for reduced capacity and social distancing. Michelle and Brian Bojanowski, owners of Twisted Italian in Peoria’s Lake Pleasant Pavilion for five years, welcomed back regulars last week. “We definitely have a lot of locals that come in. They’re so happy. They’ve been waiting for our lasagna,” Michelle Bojanowski said. Though Twisted Italian, like many other West Valley restaurants, remained open for takeout during the previous Ducey ban on dining in restaurants, it wasn’t the same for many regulars. “They’re happy we’re open. They’re excited to be out and about,” Bojanowski said. It’s hardly “business as usual,” as Twisted Italian has reduced hours and capacity. “We took out a lot of tables, so we do have reduced seating. It’s as good as we could have hoped,” she said. At Tailgaters Sports Bar in north Glendale, an employee said, “We’re doing all right” since reopening for inhouse eating and drinking. “We’re staying pretty consistent, not bad at all,” said Mike, a manager at the Yard House in Westgate who asked to not have his last name used. “We’re being sanitized and having 50% occupancy. … All restaurants should be doing it.” Babbo’s Italian Eatery in north Glendale/Peoria also is strictly following guidelines since reopening for seated customers last week, said Jenna Harris, a manager. “For all of our staff, it’s mandatory to wear masks and gloves, and we’re doing social distancing—everyone 6 feet apart in the restaurant and bar,” Harris said. How are patrons dealing with the new look? “They’re fine. They’re glad we reopened,” Harris said. “They’ve been waiting for us.”

Fortunately, he told his wife about his plan. And, fortunately, Breeana Shields was prepared for the moment. She had seen her once-joyful husband spiral into the depths of despair after returning from deployment. When he was in Afghanistan, they would talk, but only in general terms. “He would share, ‘Yes, I was in a firefight,’ or, ‘Yes, I was in a Humvee accident.’ But deployment wasn’t the time to hash things out,” Breanna said. “When he came home it started unfolding piece by piece. … I noticed things right away, but I couldn’t articulate it as PTSD. It’s very easy for a spouse or a soldier to say, ‘It was just a bad day,’ or, ‘Sorry, I was a little bit mad.’” But the bad days and unexplainable anger kept stacking up. After a night of drinking one night in October 2016, Sean told his wife he was fed up with living. “I remember he had been upset, but I could tell this was another level I’ve never experienced before,” she recalled. “I asked him to go to the hospital. It was an immediate ‘no!’ So I said, ‘OK, let’s just go for a drive.’ “He agreed to that and we drove around for a while.” Breanna took an indirect route, but slowly circled around until they were close to the Phoenix Veterans’ Administration Medical Center. Since they were close by, he agreed to go in and talk to someone. But that small victory quickly looked like it would turn disastrous. “When we got to the hospital he was still under the influence, and it was hard for him to agree to what was going on. He gets upset when things are happening fast, and he got upset at the hospital. Some workers were trying to ask him a lot of rapid-fire questions,” Breanna said. “Because of his trauma, he can become easily overwhelmed.” When a hospital worker told Breanna, “Your husband’s being very difficult—we’re going to have to get him court ordered,” she knew it was time to step in. Having a judge order Sean to a mental-health facility would save him in the short run, but Breanna felt it would

Sean offered tips for people—in the military or not—who are going through tough times from a mental health perspective, especially in these challenging pandemic times: “During COVID, find creative ways to stay connected to the hobbies you enjoy and visiting with people—even if you are sitting in a parking lot 6 feet apart or talking with someone on a headset while playing video games. Find something you can do to take your mind off of things or even help you process through things is very important, because it can be easy to get stuck in a rut and have no desire to do anything. “Be open with people, as hard as that may be. The payoff is finding those who will accept you and see you through all stages and who you can really be your true self around is worth it.” Veterans experiencing thoughts of hopelessness, self-harm or suicide can call the Veterans Crisis Line at 800273-8255 or send a text message to 838255.

House of Representatives votes for $2 trillion stimulus BY TOM SCANLON Glendale Star Managing Editor After sponsoring what was dubbed “The HEROES Act,” Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva voted for the $3 trillion stimulus bill. Rep. Debbie Lesko, a Republican who represents part of Avondale, Litchfield Park, Glendale and Peoria, pushed for—but failed to get—amendments to HEROES. It passed by a 208-199 vote in the House of Representatives May 15. “I’ve heard from my constituents and small businesses in the West Valley who remain in a tough financial situation due to the pandemic,” said Grijalva, a Democrat who represents Buckeye, Goodyear and part of Avondale (District 3 stretches south to Tucson). The Health and Economic Recovery Omnibus Emergency Solutions (HEROES) Act includes another round of stimulus checks of up to $6,000 per household, plus $100 billion in rental assistance and $200 billion in “hazard pay” for essential workers. But buying something now and expecting the HEROES Act money to pay it off might be unwise: The bill goes to the Republican-controlled Senate. Sen-

ate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the bill “an unserious product from an unserious majority.” And President Donald Trump said the bill is “DOA.” Grijalva insisted the legislation was desperately needed. “We’re all ready for businesses to open, but we cannot open our economy in good faith without the robust testing, tracing and treatment needed to keep our communities safe. While congressional Republicans and the Trump administration remain intent on forcing our country to reopen ... I’m proud we passed legislation that invests in our health care system, the safety of our workers, the security of our families and the recovery of our economy,” he said. He also noted that cities and towns are facing budget shortfalls and small businesses have been devastated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lesko voted against what she called “massive wish-list legislation.” “This bill is filled with flaws and provisions that are extremely alarming,” she said. One of Lesko’s failed amendments would have removed provisions in the

bill that reinstate the State and Local Tax Deduction (SALT). “The SALT deduction benefits the rich in high-tax states and requires taxpayers in low-tax states, like Arizona, to subsidize the rich,” Lesko said. “We should be focusing on provisions that will help average Americans who are suffering, not the richest among us.” Another amendment Lesko wanted would have prohibited undocumented immigrants from receiving economic impact payments. Lesko’s failed amendment required Social Security number verification for all disbursements from the bill. “There is no scenario in which taxpayer dollars should end up in the pockets of illegal immigrants,” Lesko said. “There are Americans suffering as a result of this virus, and relief should be reserved for our citizens.” Lesko also wanted limitations on funds being used for abortion services, insisting “taxpayer funds appropriated through the HEROES Act could be

used to directly fund abortion.” All of Lesko’s amendments failed on a straight party-line vote. Highlights of the HEROES Act: • $75 billion for testing, tracing, treatment and support for hospitals and providers. • Includes investments in nursing home safety. • Increases the Medicaid matching rates to absorb increased enrollment and provide relief to state budgets. • $500 billion for state governments. • $375 billion for local governments. • Expands emergency paid family, medical and sick-leave benefits to millions of workers, including health care workers and first responders, by eliminating exemptions that prevented workers from accessing emergency paid leave during a pandemic. • Extends weekly $600 unemployment provisions through January. • Invests more than $100 billion in direct emergency funding for students, schools and institutions.

Rare two-sport star Zach Hoﬀpauir dies at 26 BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Talented young athletes often dominate several sports in elementary school and even high school. But even the most gifted focus on just one sport in high school. Not Zach Hoffpauir. Like a modern-day Jim Thorpe or local Bo Jackson, Hoffpauir refused to stick to one sport: After graduating from Centennial High School, he excelled in baseball and football at Stanford University. He was good enough to be drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks and played parts of two minor-league seasons. He left baseball and returned to football, in February landing an assistant coach job at the up-and-coming University of Northern Colorado, coached by Ed McCaffrey—a former pro and father of current NFL star Christian McCaffrey, Hoffpauir’s close friend and former Stanford teammate.

“He was a young, intelligent coach with limitless potential. Mostly he loved sharing his life and experiences with our players, who he was born to mentor. My sincere condolences to Zach’s family and his many friends.” Zach Ertz, a Stanford teammate who is now an NFL standout with the Philadelphia Eagles, was one of many to express his emotions on social media. “Shook up about this,” Ertz tweeted. “Zach could light up a room like it was nothing, and had this amazing, unique personality. Praying for the Hoffpauir family during this time.” Though concussions derailed his dreams of playing pro football, Hoffpauir was a member of three Pac 12 champion football teams, played in two Rose Bowls and was an All-Pac 12 honorable mention. David Shaw, who coached Hoffpauir at Stanford, was philosophical about the loss. “Life is not just about what you accomplish. I believe life is about how you influence others,” Shaw tweeted. “Every day Zach Hoffpauir gave his love and passion to his family, his teammates and the players he coached. Our prayers are with the Hoffpauir family, though Zach, you are always with us.” Ben Copeland, another of Hoffpauir’s many friends, may have summed it up best: “There will never be another Zach Hoffpauir and that’s okay. We were all lucky to know you for the time we did.”

More deaths from COVID-19 at Glencroft BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Glencroft Center for Modern Aging in Glendale has taken the unique step of publicly reporting cases of COVID-19—even as the number who died there from coronavirus more than doubled over the last week. On May 11, 38 residents tested positive for COVID-19 and seven residents died from complications from the disease, according to Millie Oakeson, vice president of corporate marketing for the facility. Since then, 10 more Glencroft residents died from the disease, bringing the total to 17, according to information at glencroft.com/covid. According to that site, a total of 126—81 residents and 45 employees— have tested positive for COVID-19. Of those, 51 are listed as “recovered.,” with 43 residents and 15 employees listed as “active COVID.” Though the Maricopa County De-

‘Virtual open house’ for Cotton Properties May 21 BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Glendale continues to display a seeming insatiable appetite for annexation. At the May 12 Glendale City Council meeting, several projects were approved to continue the annexation process. The largest is the massive Allen Ranches property—800 acres west of Loop 303 between Bethany Home Road and Camelback Road. According to agenda information, the proposed development would include an industrial development on 614 acres and “a variety of single-family zoning designations on 250 acres.” City council may vote on Allen Ranches and several other potential annexations as early as Tuesday, May 26. The agenda for the May 26 city council meeting was not available at press time. A rezoning request for the recently annexed 160 acres of Cotton Proper-

scheduled to go before the Planning Commission June 4. This delay may be due to a demand for a public meeting. No public meeting was planned when Cotton Properties was originally scheduled to go before the Planning Commission in April, or after it was delayed until the May 7 meeting. But, after it was moved to June 4, a letter was sent to some Waddell and Litchfield Park neighbors. The letter explained Cotton Properties seeks a rezoning from its current agricultural classification so it can be developed to “allow for land uses such as retail commercial, support commercial/offices and industrial.” According to the letter, in lieu of an “open house” that would normally be required, “due to the current social distancing requirements related to the global pandemic, city staff has asked us to conduct a virtual open house.”

5/1/20 4:33 PM

That virtual open house starts at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 21. The link to join is gotomeet.me/TBZoning/303cotton. To join the meeting via phone, call 646-749-3122 (access code: 401-607069). Jay Crandall, a city spokesman, said in-person Glendale meetings will return starting with a May 26 city council workshop. According to the agenda, the workshop at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 26, will provide information on the workers’ compensation process and presumptive cancer, including “how Glendale protects its firefighters.” Also on the workshop agenda is discussion of a resolution that would create “a franchise agreement between EPCOR Water Arizona and the city of Glendale to provide water and wastewater services within the city of Glendale boundaries on the next general election ballot.” EPCOR provides water services to much of the Loop 303-area properties that Glendale has recently annexed or is looking at annexing, including high-volume users Red Bull and White Claw. According to agenda materials, a presentation will explain “the franchise approval process, the fiscal impacts and the community benefits of considering this franchise proposal.” The May 26 workshop will also have discussion on how Glendale should spend the $1.5 million it received in a portion of federal CARES Act funding called the Community Development Block Grant Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds. An agenda for the 5:30 p.m., Tuesday, May 26, city council regular meeting was not released at press time.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Gov. Doug Ducey announced May 15 that $300,000 in funding from the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund has been allocated to organizations that support senior citizens, the homebound and those who are medically fragile. Benevilla of Surprise was one of the recipients. According to its mission statement, “Benevilla enriches lives of West Valley residents by serving older adults, adults with disabilities, children, and the families who care for them.” Benevilla’s free home services are available to seniors in El Mirage, Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Avondale, Buckeye and Tolleson. For information, visit benevilla.org/ services. During the COVID-19 crisis, Benevilla expanded its grocery shopping for senior services.

“We believe we are strongest when we work together,” said Joanne Thomson, president and CEO of Benevilla. “The support from the AZ Coronavirus Relief Fund Now will help provide much-needed services to the most vulnerable population in our community. “Working together we are able to help seniors with grocery shopping, emergency errands and more. We are able to provide support and friendship to caregivers who might feel overwhelmed and alone and continue to support families in our community during this time.” The funding Ducey announced supports organizations that assist with grocery shopping, meal deliveries, transportation to medical appointments, emergency errands, and social interaction during a time of physical distancing. “Arizona continues to focus on protecting public health, especially for those most at risk, like seniors and those medically vulnerable,” Ducey said. “Volunteer and community organizations across the state are working day and night to provide support for those in their care through additional food deliveries, transportation and other services—and we’re proud to support their efforts.” Foundation for Senior Living and Aster Aging also received funding.

Are you ready to reopen? BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF While some are eager for a return to normalcy, others around the West Valley feel extreme caution is still needed in the COVID-19 pandemic. The Glendale Star’s Facebook page took the following poll May 15: “With Gov. Doug Ducey lifting the stay-home order today, I am (choose one): A) continuing to practice strict social distancing/isolation; B) planning to go out a little more but still practice social distancing; C) ready to return to normal.

Of 18 who responded, six went with “continue to practice strict social distancing/isolation,” four chose the middle option and eight are “ready to return to normal.” Among those planning to continue social distancing/isolation was Diane Cuff England. “Way too early, with our numbers still going up,” she said. Renee DeVore took a pragmatic view: “You can answer C (‘ready to return to normal’) all you want — but retail, restaurants, etc. will still make you social distance.”

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Two grantmakers teamed up to award $59,000 to organizations serving people with disabilities to ease social isolation in Arizona during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Arizona Developmental Disabilities Planning Council and the Arizona Community Foundation funded 28 groups that provide services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. “We applaud the service providers across the state that have adapted their programs to continue providing crit-

ical health and well-being programs in these unprecedented times,” said Glenn Wike of ACF. Recipients include group homes, day programs and in-home therapy providers. Among those receiving grants: • Arizona Training & Evaluation Center (AZTEC), Peoria. • The city of Peoria. • Goldensun Peace Ministries, Glendale. • Gompers, Glendale/Peoria. • One Step Beyond, Glendale/Peoria.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Nature’s Medicines planned to open a dispensary Monday, May 18, at 6840 Grand Avenue. The company, which operates in seven states, describes itself as “an innovative, fast-growing group of medical cannabis dispensaries.” According to a press release, “The new dispensary will continue the company’s mission of facilitating wellness and self-care by providing safe, reliable, sustainably grown products to medical marijuana patients at extremely affordable prices.”

The dispensary will have 27 customer service stations and “multiple product displays to help patients make informed decisions about their medical cannabis.” “We’re extremely lucky to already have a loyal customer base in the Phoenix area and are very enthusiastic about bringing our large selection of cannabis products and private brands to patients in the Glendale area,” said Mark Steinmetz, CEO and founder of Nature’s Medicines.

PUSD board to vote on budget May 28 BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF At the April 23 Peoria Unified School District governing board meeting, board president David Sandoval asked for a budget recommendation on May 14 to prepare for a vote on May 28. He noted ballot measures must be provided to Maricopa County Elections by June 6 to be on the November ballot. A budget team made up of 32 teachers and PUSD administrators, including Dr. Jason Reynolds, the deputy superintendent who will soon become the district superintendent, presented its recommendations at a May 14 board meeting. The total of the new budget being recommended is $12.6 million. The team presented three options for teacher salaries. All three options increase certified staff and teacher minimum salaries to $40,114, with 5% salary increases for current teachers and certified staff. Administrator salary increases in the three

options range from 3% to 5%. The current minimum teacher salary is $34,678. The budget team noted several considerations in funding the district’s salaries and other operations. The next school year is the last full year of the 13% maintenance and operations override previously approved by voters. An extension was narrowly defeated last November. If not the M&O override is not renewed by voters in November, over $9 million dollars will need to be cut from the next budget, the budget team advised. The PUSD budget team also noted many districts are expecting reductions in some funding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The board is expected to vote for one of the options at its next meeting, 6 p.m. Thursday, May 28. For agendas and information on how to view the board meetings, visit.peoriaunified.org/Page/118.

Valley nurses help Tucson patient survive COVID-19 BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Retired paramedic Larry Delfs is being transferred to a long-term acutecare facility following his treatment that included a team of nurses from Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital. The Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital nurses traveled to Tucson twice to assist with patient care and staff education on using ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) to help treat Delf. “It was not an easy decision for all of us, since we were leaving our families and knowingly going to a COVID pa-

tient to run ECMO. But we all took the risk, as we felt it was our duty to help our sister facilities and also considered that the patient is a fellow staff member,” said one of the nurses, Maricris Tallant, who lives in Peoria. After contracting COVID-19, Delfs initially was admitted to Carondelet St. Joseph’s Hospital. Over the next few days his pulmonary status worsened and he developed acute respiratory failure requiring intubation, maximum support for his circulatory system and suffered an acute kidney injury. Carondelet administration arranged for Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital nurses with ECMO experience to travel from Phoenix. Delfs’ condition stabilized after three weeks on the ECMO device.

Montecito donates masks The Montecito retirement community residents donated over 500 hand-sewn face masks to the Veteran’s Administration Hospital and other local veteran’s organizations. John Murnan, the commander of Peoria’s Post 62, came to the Montecito to pick up the face masks. When it became apparent that our country was facing a shortage of face masks, the residents at the Montecito took action to help. Montecito resident Karen Piper said, “When I heard about this, I thought, ‘My country needs me and this is something I can do.’” The Montecito has independent-living, assisted-living and memory-care residents.

To be continued: Meeting on cross-dock ends with no vote BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Talk about a cliffhanger: The Maricopa County Planning and Zoning Commission heard dozens of protests of a plan to turn the Falcon Golf Course into a “cross-dock” transportation facility. The commission then heard a representative vigorously defend the project, which would bring hundreds of jobs to the West Valley. But a vote ... was not to happen. The May 14 online meeting was to have a vote on a military compatibility permit for property owner Cowley Companies and developer KW Projects. Falcon Golf Course is just north of Goodyear and Litchfield Park and south of Luke Air Force Base. After a staff member spent more than two hours reading emails from Goodyear and Litchfield Park residents slamming the project, one of the commissioners said she had to leave the meeting. That meant there was no quorum—

ogize. This is very unexpected,” said Luke Schlosser, chair of the commission. “We all hate this is happening.” Dozens of residents were waiting to speak. They will have to wait until the next Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Thursday, May 28. It is also scheduled as online only. To view and/or participate, visit attendee.gotowebinar.com/ register/3164624669529885968. At the May 14 meeting, Darren Gerard, a Planning and Zoning staff member, first read the sole letter of support for the project. Gerard then read 77 emails harshly criticizing the request by Falcon Golf Course to rezone for a transportation facility. Many emails cited a traffic study that said the cross-dock would bring as many as 6,000 truck trips daily to Camelback Road. “Traffic, traffic, traffic,” complained one email. Others protested the involvement of

Michael Cowley, the golf course owner who was a Planning and Zoning Commission vice chair until March. “All of you look like you are in this for personal gain—which one of you will be next?” one email stated. There were another 191 emails opposing the project that were not read, as they were received in time to be included in the staff report (an online protest also received 2,300 signatures). Gerard also noted opposition letters were received from the cities of Goodyear and Litchfield Park—and that Luke Air Force Base rescinded its previous approval. After reading the emails, Gerard gave a brief summary of the proposal, noting the Planning and Zoning staff recommended approval of the permit request. Attorney Jason Morris of Whitney Morris spoke on behalf of Kieran West/ KW Projects, defending the request. “We firmly believe this is not only an appropriate application but a beneficial application for the area,” he said. Morris also found the critique of Cowley “disrespectful,” noting other members of the commission “regularly recuse themselves” when there are potential conflicts of interest. Stating that “there is virtually no other use for this area,” Morris displayed a slide showing PV 303, the Goodyear industrial project that spans from Indian School Road to the south side of Camelback Road. Falcon Golf Course begins on the north side of Camelback Road. “We are perhaps a movie theater, and what we’re looking at across the street is Disneyland,” Morris said. At that point, Francisca Montoya interrupted to state that she had to leave the meeting, so Morris will have to conclude his argument May 28.

A mask is a mask is a mask . . . and nothing more BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

I spent a chunk of Wednesday at the dermatologist’s office, sitting in the waiting room. Twenty minutes cooling my heels typically isn’t fun, but this time there was entertainment, pandemic style: a guy in his 50s who bristled at the receptionist offering him a disposable face mask. “We’re requiring masks for everyone’s safety,” she explained. “Yeah, I’m sure this’ll fix everything,” said Mr. Tucked-In Tommy Bahama Shirt. “You know these are dangerous, right?” He took a few steps toward the door, to leave in protest, then apparently changed his mind. Our hero settled for sighing and eye-rolling his way to a chair beneath the lobby flat screen, where, mask on, he commenced barking into his iPhone. “If I sound muffled, it’s because

they’ve got me wearing this stupid %$@^ing mask,” he told the poor soul on the other end of the phone. It seems covering one’s face in public has become the latest ﬂashpoint in our ongoing COVID-19 wars. Costco discovered this a couple weeks ago, immediately after announcing a new policy requiring members and guests to wear a face covering when entering its warehouses. This 21st century pandemic update of the old “no shirt, no shoes, no service” sign sent some Costco members into a frothing rage, complete with #BoycottCostco trending on social media and a wave of canceled memberships. Soon after came the predictable backlash: Costco received a wave of support for not buckling to the threats and for keeping its mask requirement in place. Expect many more such arguments to occur over the next few weeks, as our

SHELTON’S OPINION – cartoons.com

economy lurches back into motion, businesses begin reopening and hordes on both sides of this argument turn a simple act—wearing a cheap mask or piece of cloth over your nose and mouth—into a referendum on patriotism, freedom, manhood, civility, intelligence, common courtesy and anything else they can dream up and turn into a meme. You know what wearing a mask really means? It means you’re wearing a mask. And pretty much nothing else. You know what not wearing a mask means? It means you’re not wearing a mask. And pretty much nothing else. Anymore, as we split ourselves into warring tribes, we seek to invest with massive meaning all sorts of small acts that we hold out as proof we belong to this or that club. Mask wearers hold themselves out to be more evolved than those who refuse to wear a mask. Members of Team Breathe Free or Die think of themselves as outlaw badasses, freedom ﬁghters willing to sacriﬁce buying raw almonds and toilet paper in bulk at Costco in service to their cause. The truth? It’s just a mask, people. Get over yourselves.

Medical science in large part has come down on the side of wearing a mask while in public and in close proximity to others as a way of slowing the spread of COVID-19. For me, that’s reason enough to cover my face if I’m going to the grocery store, the doctor’s office, the post office, Costco or any potentially crowded spot. By contrast, I haven’t been wearing a mask when I’m walking the dog, going on a hike or playing golf while keeping a reasonable distance from my playing partners. In either case, it’s a decision predicated mostly on common sense and a little bit on comfort—and not at all on “what’s the message I’m sending?” As for the masked avenger in my dermatologist’s office, he may still be sitting there grousing about being forced to wear a mask. To me, it should’ve been the least of his worries. After all, as everyone knows, only idiots tuck in Hawaiian shirts. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

Stay connected, stay local BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

With the COVID-19 pandemic still dominating the world, high school graduates and transfer students may choose to stay closer to home to continue their studies this fall. Encouraging students to “Stay Connected, Stay Local,” Ottawa University-Arizona (OUAZ) wants these bright young minds to consider its Surprise campus at 15950 N. Civic Center Plaza. “We are preparing all necessary precautions to host students at our brand-new residential campus in Surprise, which also has emergency services on site,” said Dr. Brian Sandusky, OUAZ’s chief enrollment ofﬁcer. “Students may want to stay close to home and we want them to know about their opportunities here with us. We have new facilities on our campus, which opened in Fall 2019. It’s an exciting time for us here in Surprise.” Founded in 1865, Ottawa University is a nonproﬁt, private liberal arts university with its original residential campus in Ottawa, Kansas. The professional campus in Phoenix has been educating adult learners in the Valley for more than 40 years and boasts more than 8,000 alumni. Surprise is home to Ottawa University’s second residential campus. Housing at OUAZ features a new residence hall with suite-style, fully furnished rooms. Amenities include cable television and a 55-inch, wall-mounted TV, laundry facilities, student lounges and a game

room. Scholars Hall accommodates more than 300 students. Ottawa University offers housing awards for students who hail from the West Valley—Avondale, Buckeye, Deer Valley, El Mirage, Goodyear, Glendale, Litchﬁeld Park, Peoria, Sun City West, Tolleson, Surprise, Waddell, Whitman and Youngtown. “We believe a fully rounded educational experience for students includes residential living,” Sandusky said. Students who stay in university housing for six semesters, or three years, are eligible for 50% off their graduate tuition rate while studying at OUAZ Surprise. “We want to bring value to our commu-

nity and our alumni, and this is one example of that mission,” Sandusky said. Two other new buildings are part of the OUAZ campus. The student union includes a state-of-the-art dining center, an entertainment lounge with indoor/outdoor ﬁreplace, fan shop, mailroom, classrooms and banquet hall. It is also home to the new Adawe Center mentorship program, which is designed to help students be successful in their college experience.

The North Campus enrolls students in grades seven to 12. All four campuses operate as alternative schools, which serve at-risk populations. Three of them also offer a Dropout Recovery Program, which is available to students ages 16 to 21 who have not received a high school diploma or attended school for 30 days. The programs and schools are accredited through Cognia, an independent organization with researched-based standards that are above state standards. Career Success Schools operate their schools under a 20-year charter contract with the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools that expires 2035.

There’s a focus on world-readiness skills, too. That can be how to buy a house, how to budget, business dinner etiquette, and even changing a tire.” Ottawa University prides itself on being a “participatory campus.” Students participate in academic clubs, competitive club sports and varsity athletics. For example, students who participate in the business club gain real-world business experience outside the classroom, while receiving a significant scholarship to help them. “We have ACT, SAT and GPA scholarships, as well as scholarships for the academic and club sports,” Sandusky said. “These are unique and lucrative scholarship opportunities for our students.” Complementing OUAZ’s robust varsity athletic offerings are the university’s competitive club sports. Esports and badminton are starting in the fall. Other programs include ultimate frisbee, cycling, outdoor adventure, bowling and wrestling.

Class schedules that ﬁt today’s student Gone are days of one-size-ﬁts-all scheduling, and OUAZ offers an innovative alternative. “Our exclusive FlexTerm scheduling is one of our biggest distinguishing features,” Sandusky said. “It has been well received by students.” FlexTerm scheduling consists of classes offered in a four-, eight- or 16-

week term format. Students work with their faculty mentor to assist them with their course scheduling. This ﬂexible format allows them time to study and participate in activities.

Peoria chamber is helping businesses weather COVID-19 BY SCOT ANDREWS

President and CEO Peoria Chamber of Commerce

Character is tested when you are up against it. Over the last 60 days, in response to COVID-19, during this unprecedented time of uncertainty and duress within our Peoria business community, the Peoria Chamber of Commerce is making a difference for West Valley businesses. However, there is no “I” in team. The Peoria Chamber dedicated its resources to a “task force” led by the city of Peoria in collaboration with ASU’s Peoria Forward, the SBA and the Small Business Development Center to tirelessly respond, communicate and support the business community. Peoria is home to over 3,500 small businesses. All of these businesses were impacted ﬁnancially from this pandemic. Many closed or reduced staff to survive. During this time, a network of concerned and giving business owners, resource partners and residents jumped into action to help

as well. Through their gifts of serving, hundreds were helped. Deputy City Director Katie Gregory led our task force. Through her leadership, the team mobilized, responded and delivered for our community. We worked together, frequently, sometimes daily to deﬁne strategies that matter to business and took action. During the last 60 days 1,900 business were contacted. More than 700 volunteer hours of support were provided. Over 300 Peoria restaurants were called by the task force, and those restaurants were provided take and delivery banners, digital “open for business messaging” and other messaging designed to drive purchase patronage during the crisis. About $5,000 in meat and vegetables were provided with over 150 free meals. And over $7,500 in durable goods were provided to ﬁrst responders. The Peoria chamber deferred membership dues for a large portion of our members and focused on marketing their businesses through offers and

digital communications. What’s next? As our businesses begin the process of restarting, both consumer and employee safety are paramount. Each business should leverage OSHA and CDC guidelines to put in place an effective restart safety plan. And our community must take action to support our small businesses through their patronage. The Peoria Chamber of Commerce’s partnership with the city of Peoria, Peoria Forward and SBDC is a powerful alliance for business owners to access. Joining the Peoria chamber now is more important than ever to enable your business success. The Peoria Chamber of Commerce is operating virtual in the short term. All of our virtual events are complimentary to members and nonmembers. These include Coffee is for Closer sales train-

ing, weekly Percolate Peoria, our Virtual Happy hours and more. Come join and get to know us! We would like to meet you and discuss your business. Experience the new Peoria Chamber of Commerce. Visit peoriachamber.com or email memberservices@peoriachamber.com

The COVID-19 pandemic has unfortunately caused widespread job loss, however there are industries that were less affected, and companies are hiring, according to Izelle Silva, Glendale Community College’s director of career services. As businesses reopen, she said, the public will slowly see more job gains. However, the COVID crisis has changed the way people will seek and ﬁnd jobs. Gone are the days of going to in-person networking events or making connections over coffee. Now, job seekers need to ﬁnd online networking groups and ask themselves, “How can I grab a cup of coffee and connect with others in a virtual world?” Silva reiterated that companies are hiring and suggested areas to check for job postings. TV news channels are holding virtual job fairs, the Maricopa Community Colleges recently held a virtual job fair and there are websites such as career.

services@gccaz.edu and bestcompaniesaz.com/covid-19-hiring-companies. Job seekers can make sure they are marketable for open jobs by researching the skills needed for the positions they are interested in. Then they can audit their skills and see if there’s a gap. If there is, consider what to do to close that gap—taking courses or getting training from a school like Glendale Community College. Companies seeking employees are moving to an online/remote interview process. Because of that, phone and video conferencing apps like Zoom and Google hangouts are becoming more widespread. Job seekers will have to get comfortable with this technology by logging on, testing it and practicing with family and friends. Before an interview, make sure the area in the frame of the video is clean and uncluttered, the location is quiet and free of distractions, and that you are dressed appropriately. Silva stressed the need to stay focused and organized during a job search. She

OPINION

American Legion salutes fallen veterans on Memorial Day BY BILL OXFORD

Glendale Star Guest Writer

Every crisis has new heroes. During the 9/11 attacks, they were the first responders running into burning and crumbling buildings as others ran out. Now, during the coronavirus pandemic, the most visible heroes are the health care professionals who are saving others and risking their own lives while doing so. These heroes have much in common with the people we honor today—America’s fallen veterans. They are men and women who have sacrificed their own lives so others could live. They are both elite and ordinary. They are elite in the sense of character. Giving your life so others could live is the ultimate definition of selfless. They are ordinary in the fact that they represent the diverse fabric of our country. They are rich and poor, black and white, male and female. They come from every ethnicity and background. In short, they looked like any of us. As we celebrate the selfless and untiring performances of the health care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic, it brings to mind the military medics, doctors and nurses who sacrificed their lives while treating others on the battlefield. One such hero was Pharmacist Mate Third Class Jack Williams. The Navy Reserve corpsman was only 20 years old when he landed on Iwo Jima 75 years ago. On March 3, 1945, James Naughton, a Marine in Williams’ unit, was wounded by a grenade. While under intense enemy fire, Williams dragged Naughton to a shallow depression and treated his wounds. Williams used his own body as a screen and was shot four times. Yet he continued. After he treated Naughton, Williams dressed his own wounds. He then proceeded to treat another Marine, despite his own immense pain. While heading to the rear, he was hit by a sniper’s bullet and killed. For his actions, Petty Officer Williams was awarded the Medal of Honor. We also remember Army veterans

like Lt. Sharon Lane. According to her biographer, Philip Bigler, Lt. Lane threw herself into her work as a nurse. While serving in Colorado, she requested a transfer to Vietnam. “There, at least, you are busy 12 hours a day, six or seven days a week,” she said in a 1968 letter to her parents. Her dedication was obvious, even as she treated enemy Viet Cong soldiers who would return the favor by kicking, cursing and spitting at their American captors. In the early morning of June 8, 1969, Sharon’s tour of duty ended. A Soviet-built rocket struck the hospital. Lt. Sharon A. Lane was killed in action at age 25. If she were still here, her skills as a nurse might still be benefiting us during the current crisis. But not all of the heroes working during the COVID-19 pandemic are in the health care industry. Grocers, first responders, delivery workers and drive-thru restaurant employees are just a few of the many people that we rely on to provide vital services for society while risking their own safety. The military also has heroes in every occupational field. Truck drivers, cooks and administrative clerks have all paid the ultimate price. At sea, on land or in the air, military service requires great risk. Roy Knight, Jr. was a pilot in the U.S. Air Force. On May 19, 1967, he was shot down while attacking a target on the Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos. He was posthumously promoted to colonel. Last year, a joint team from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency discovered and later identified Col. Knight’s remains. When his remains arrived at Dallas’s Love Field, a crowd had gathered to witness the dignified transfer of the flag-draped casket from the Southwest Airlines jet into the receptive arms of the military honor guard. One observer reported that the entire crowd fell silent. The Southwest flight was piloted by another Air Force veteran, Col. Knight’s son, Bryan. Bryan Knight

was only 5 years old when he said goodbye to his father as the elder Knight left for Vietnam. This is yet another legacy these heroes leave behind. A legacy that includes their sons, daughters, grieving parents, grandparents and friends. Their heroic acts are sometimes performed to protect those with whom they serve. Cpl. Jason Dunham was a squad leader with the Third Battalion, 7th Marines in Iraq. On April 14, 2004, his squad approached a Toyota Land Cruiser. After his squad discovered AK-47s in the vehicle, the enemy insurgent exited and engaged in hand-to-hand fighting with the unit. The driver dropped a grenade. To save his fellow Marines, Cpl. Dunham made the ultimate sacrifice. He threw himself on the grenade and tried to use his helmet to shield the blast. Severely wounded by the grenade’s fragments, Cpl. Dunham was taken off life support eight days later. Cpl. Dunham died so other Marines could live. He, too, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his gallantry. Approximately 1 million men and women of the U.S. military have lost their lives in defense of our nation since the founding of this great Republic. Not all have died from enemy fire. Some have died from diseases that

have too often festered around war zones. Oftentimes, deaths from disease and accidents outnumbered casualties caused by enemy weapons. During the Spanish American War, 60 soldiers of the all-black 24th Infantry Regiment volunteered to serve as nurses. Thirty-six of them would later die of yellow fever or malaria. A generation later, the flu would kill nearly 16,000 U.S. soldiers in France during World War I. Another 30,000 American service members died in stateside camps. These men and women could have isolated safely in their homes. But they knew they had an important job to do. A mission to accomplish. They were all on a mission to serve. Even when the enemy is an invisible virus or a microscopic germ, the sacrifices made are just as meaningful. The U.S. military has already lost service members to COVID-19. This Memorial Day, as we continue to honor those who fell for us in battle, let’s also pause to remember those who have sacrificed their lives while serving others. May God bless them and may God bless you for remembering them here today. Thank you. Bill Oxford is national commander of the American Legion. For more information, visit legion.org.

“Risky Business” isn’t just the name of an ’80s Tom Cruise movie—it’s the unfortunate theme for many entrepreneurs, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Keeping a sharp eye out for the legality of things in our litigious society, the Glendale Chamber of Commerce hosted a Zoom meeting May 14 that offered legal tips for businesses reopening in a pandemic. There was plenty to chew on for patrons, as well. Christopher Callahan, Alexis Glascock, Mario Vasta and Terry Evans from Fennemore Craig Attorneys took turns talking about “how to manage risk and minimize the risk of claims now that Arizona’s stay-athome order is beginning to phase out.” They said as customers return to your business, there are ample possibilities for contract and tort disputes. Callahan noted Rep. Andy Biggs of the 5th Congressional District (Chandler, Queen Creek) introduced legislation aimed at protecting businesses. According to a Biggs press release, his bill is “to protect businesses taking reasonable steps to prevent the transmission of COVID-19 from frivolous negligence claims.”

Business Briefcase

The Biggs bill “requires a specific jury instruction in civil actions in federal court that include a claim alleging negligence arising from the transmission of COVID-19 (i.e., coronavirus disease 2019) and a request for damages. “Specifically, a court must instruct the jury that negligence may not be found solely on the basis of holding oneself open for business.” H.R. 6601 was introduced by Biggs April 23 and referred to the Judiciary Committee the same day. Biggs is also on the Judiciary Committee. Evans then took over to talk about insurance coverage. He stressed for business owners to read the fine print on their policies at renewal time and be on the lookout for “communicable disease exclusion”— which could, theoretically at least, allow an insurance company to wash its hands of any claim during a pandemic. “I’ve seen two renewals where they tried to slip them into policies,” he said. And, he added, with so many people working from home, the “workplace” definition has often changed. “If you’re working from home and trip over your dog at 2 a.m.—technically, that’s workers’ compensation,” Evans said. Callahan then jumped in to note most

insurance policies don’t cover “business interruption” due to COVID-19. Loss of business income “has to result from physical loss or damage to your property,” Callahan said. He pointed to exclusionary language in most policies: “We will not pay for loss or damage caused by or resulting from any virus, bacterium or other microorganism. …” Callahan noted that the most common claim in our litigious society falls in the category of negligence. Checking temperatures before allowing employees to work is one way to show “duty” if a person alleges they caught COVID-19 at your workplace and sues you, Callahan said. The attorney stressed it may be important to show “you’ve acted reasonably.” “That can be you’re following guidelines—state or local ofﬁcial guidelines—maintaining social distancing, wearing masks and gloves, avoiding direct contact with customers as much as possible.” And, if you ﬁnd out an employee is sick from the virus, do you tell customers? “Technically, it’s a good thing,” Callahan said. “However, there are HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountabil-

ity Act) guidelines.” Meaning: Trying to avoid one lawsuit could be a trap for another. Another conundrum came up with the idea of having customers sign waivers promising not to sue if they contract COVID-19 at your business. “That might give them the idea to sue you,” Callahan said. Looking at things from all angles is great for lawyers but can leave the rest of us feeling cynical. To cleanse the palate, so to speak: Panda Cares, the philanthropic arm of Panda Express, has donated $77,760 worth of personal protective equipment to Phoenix Children’s Hospital. The donation includes 9,600 KN95 respirators and 80,000 single-use surgical masks. “This donation is simply monumental when it comes to ﬁghting the spread of coronavirus, and for protecting our health care workers, patients and families,” said Steve Schnall, senior vice president of Phoenix Children’s Hospital. “Panda Express and Panda Cares have made an extraordinary effort to provide this equipment the hospital relies on to give and receive best-in-class care.” Panda Express has multiple locations in the West Valley, including Goodyear, Glendale and Peoria.

Multiplexes not ready to open doors yet BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Gov. Doug Ducey says it’s now OK to watch movies in a theater. But, even though Memorial Day is normally the kickoff for summer movies, it won’t happen this year. Theater operators contacted by Capitol Media Services say they’re not ready to open the doors just yet—if for no other reasons than there simply isn’t anything new to throw up on the screen. But they are willing to sell you popcorn, and even bring it out to the curb for you. The Department of Health Services has released its guidelines for how

big screen, where they are meant to be seen,’’ reads a statement from Harkins Theatres. The company says it is working with public health officials and industry partners to finalize a reopening plan and safety protocols. “Another necessary criteria is a reliable and continuous slate of great new theatrical films,’’ the company said, adding it is waiting for the planned release of anticipated summer blockbusters like “Wonder Woman 1984’’ and “Mulan.’’ Potentially the first up could be “Tenet,’’ the latest film from “Batman’’ director Christopher Nolan scheduled for release on July 17. AMC, the other big player in Arizona, did not immediately return calls seeking a schedule. The company is not listing any showtimes for the immediate future.

And that leaves a lot up to individual operators— and, ultimately, to customers to see if they feel safe. As to other recreational opportunities, don’t hold your breath waiting to see the ﬁrst pitch of the season. Ducey has said that games can go on, albeit without fans. But Major League Baseball isn’t ready yet, either. The latest news show team owners looking for a start in early July—assuming some arrangement can be reached with players. “Although we are not planning to reopen our theaters now, we are anxious for the day we can safely and responsibly welcome guests back into our theaters to watch movies on the

When ordinary people do extraordinary things This week, let’s take a moment to bring our attention off our present situations and pause to honor those who honored us with the ultimate sacriﬁce. I’m referring to Memorial Day here in the United States. Think for a moment. They served, fought, died, and went through unimaginable hardships to give a future to those they would never know. Like the title of this article says, they were or still are ordinary people just like us who became extraordinary people who set themselves to do extraordinary things for the generations yet to come. Author and friend Craig D. Lounsbrough gives us his thoughts about Memorial Day: “You are silent now who once stood on battleﬁelds ravaged by destruction unimaginable, holding in those desperate places the line of freedom for others you would never know and who would never know you. And being one of those you never knew, I would give all I have to clasp your hand one single time, look into eyes that witnessed the bloodied carnage that results when freedom refuses to bow to chains of any kind, and simply say, ‘Thank you.’” Why is Memorial Day “Memorial Day”? It causes us to remember how we got here and to not take our liberty for granted. It’s a high-impact moment to say “thank you” to those who paid the price for our freedom. Just think of it. Freedom isn’t free. Someone paid the price for the freedom we enjoy. Couldn’t we at least say “thank you”?

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

When three drunken high-school students crashed their car into a tree, the wreck sat in front of their school for several days. Each day the students looked at it. That’s called a high-impact teachable moment. Memorial Day was designed to be a high-impact teachable moment reminding us of the price someone paid for us that we will never know. Memorials are signiﬁcant in the life of any nation, organization or individual. When Israel crossed the Jordan river after God miraculously parted the waters, God instructed Joshua to build a monument of 12 stones on the other side of the river. It was to be a memorial. What God was saying was, “When your children ask what the 12 stones are all about, use the monument for a teaching moment about my love and faithfulness.” God parted the waters as a high-impact teachable reminder, more for future generations than the current generation. When you are teachable, you are reachable. Memorials are crucial. If you forget where you came from, you will forget where you are going. Today, Memorial Day has devolved into a holiday. It frees us from the dol-

drums of winter and launches us into the warmth of summer. It’s like the starter’s gun going off that starts the race of summer. To many, Memorial Day represents swimming time, barbecue time and party time. That’s not all bad. It should be a celebration, a new season, but it also should not take us away from the purpose of Memorial Day. Allow me to quote Craig Lounsbrough again on his take on Memorial Day. “Memorial Day stands as a marker, giving us pause when we might not otherwise pause. It draws us back to something we should not forget, something that made us what we are. Some foundational things happened that represented crossroads, some of which were little more than minor shifts. Others represented events upon which the future of our entire nation precariously hung. Memorial Day stands as a marker that will not allow history and the winds of time to forget freezing soldiers at Valley Forge who longed for home while teetering on the precipice of defeat. It holds high farmers and common folk who took up arms at places with names like Bunker Hill, Cemetery Ridge, San Juan Hill, Iwo Jima, the DMZ and the streets of Baghdad to hold the line for freedom. It reminds us that many have fallen whose names would have otherwise been lost to history or the pages of a tattered family Bible. In and through it

The Glendale

all, it reminds us of who we are and it rekindles a sense of the incredible privileges that are ours.” The past is a guidepost, not a hitching post. It’s OK to revisit our past. If we abandon our past, we have no foundation upon which to build our futures or our identities. Revisiting is not about reinventing or rewriting our history as historical revisionists are so prone to do. Memorial Days are for reflection—a reflection that makes us better. Memorial Day is a reminder that the only reason you might be seeing more than those before you is you’re sitting on top of their shoulders. Memorial Day, both personally and nationally, allows us to reflect on where we have come from—both our failures and successes. It shows us where we should go and not go. It reveals positive and negative teachable moments in our history from which we need to learn. It allows us to be authentic. We celebrate our victories, learn from our failures, acknowledge our strengths, and try not to replicate our weaknesses. Allow Memorial Day to draw you back to something you should not forget—something that made you what you are. That way those we remember on Memorial Day will not have died in vain.

Outstanding ASU grads reﬂect on college journey BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF After making the most of their college years, Thomas Prior and Alexander Sojourney graduated from Arizona State University May 11. Prior, a Peoria resident, said he found his own passion for local government with the help of a city manager who recognized how important being a mentor could be and a “community of public servants who provided support, guidance and compassion” throughout his academic career. Prior is the spring 2020 outstanding graduate in the School of Public Affairs. When he was in eighth grade, his class took a career exploration quiz that had a lasting impact on his life. “Although it may sound crazy basing your career path on a 20-minute online PUZZLE ANSWERS

assessment, that is essentially what I did. While other classmates received results like teacher, artist and police ofﬁcer, my top result was city manager,” Prior said. “I was eager to learn more, despite the fact that I hadn’t a clue about what a city manager does for a living. My teacher at the time organized an opportunity for me to learn more about local government by job shadowing the city manager of Glendale,” Prior said. That led him to serve on the city of Peoria’s Youth Advisory Board and multiple internships in cities and towns across Arizona. Sojourney, a Glendale resident, discovered his passion for politics at ASU. He completed his degree in political science, and he hopes to continue that passion in the nation’s capital.

He participated in Undergraduate Student Government, the Speech and Debate club, Devils on the Run and the Black Student Union at the west campus. As a junior, Sojourney was the student body president at the west campus, and as a senior he was the president of the Black African Coalition. As a ﬁrst-year student, Sojourney joined ASU’s Speech and Debate club, where he discovered his passion for politics. “It occured to me midway through the semester that I think where my passion

Thomas Prior, left, of Peoria and Alexander Sojourney of Glendale completed accomplished college careers and graduated from ASU May 11. (Photos courtesy ASU)

lies is being involved with politics at the local level, at the national level and, speciﬁcally for me, at the campus level,” Sojourney said. Looking toward the future, Sojourney hopes to attend Georgetown University’s democracy and governance master’s degree program. The program in Washington, D.C., focuses on exposure to professional experience, reputation, languages and education in public service.

National Merit Scholar The National Merit Scholarship Corporation recently awarded Sunrise Mountain High School senior Cameron Deal as a National Merit Scholar. The National Merit Scholarship winners are the finalists in each state judged to have the strongest combination of accomplishments, skills, and potential for success in rigorous college studies. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, which represents less than 1% of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. Deal was president of Sunrise Mountain’s DECA Club since 2018, where he has attended the International Career Development Conference and helped the Mustangs achieve first-place honors in back-to-back state competitions. Deal also recently received two Peoria Education Foundation scholarships: the Joseph McCord Memorial Scholarship, a scholarship for college-bound students who have a passion for history and social studies, and the Community Service Scholarship, a

scholarship given to students who have completed a minimum of 100 community service hours throughout their high school career. Deal plans to study economics in college, which he will attend this fall.
