Washington Elementary School District continues to expand as it held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new building on the Arroyo Elementary School campus.

The $16.2 million, 74,600-square-foot expansion project includes classrooms, a gym, parking, a drop-off area and play fields.

When the building is completed in May 2020, the remaining old buildings will be demolished to make way for new parking and play fields.

The latter are expected to be finished in October 2020.

“The ceremonial groundbreaking was

a great way to celebrate a dream that will soon become a reality,” Arroyo Principal Philip Liles said.

“Our students, staff and neighbors have been looking forward to our newly constructed school since the day our community passed the bond in November 2016.

We’re excited for construction to begin, and we look forward to continuing the great learning that takes place every day at Arroyo in our new school in 2020.”

Constructed in 1974, Arroyo serves approximately 600 students from kindergarten through eighth grade. The Title I school offers high academics as well as free, full-day kindergarten, art, music, physical education and an after-school

Dr. E. D. Hirsch Jr. once said, “For the sake of academic excellence, greater equity and higher literacy, elementary and middle schools need to teach a coherent, cumulative and content-specific core curriculum.

“Our society cannot afford a two-tiered system in which the affluent have access to a superior education, while everyone else is subjected to a dull and incoherent classroom experience. Academic excellence, educational equity and fairness demand a strong foundation of knowledge for all learners.”

After a long process, the Washington Elementary School District selected Phoenix-based McCarthy Building Companies to construct the new wing that is funded by a voter-approved bond. BWS Architects collaborated with McCarthy. When completed, Arroyo students will learn in a high-tech school building that will be environmentally friendly.

“We’re honored to work with the Arroyo school community, which values education and being engaged in the renovation of their school campus,” said Mike Horn, McCarthy’s education services project director.

CHARTER FROM PAGE 1

That quote is the rationale of the Core Knowledge Sequence curriculum Hirsch Jr. created. And that curriculum is, in turn, the basis of the new Alexander Hamilton Community School — as well as other TeamCFA-affiliated schools.

Classes will commence at the Glendale-based K-2 public charter school on August 5. Administration is targeting an initial enrollment of 150 students, though plans are to add an additional grade level, through eighth grade, each subsequent year of operation.

Though currently based out of the First United Methodist Church at Glenn and 58th drives, the school will eventually transition to either a newly built campus or some other repurposed facility as growth is achieved. Despite being based out of the church for the time being, the school has no religious affiliation.

“It’s not uncommon for not just TeamCFA schools but charter schools in general to incubate within a church or another purpose facility and either kind of grow and develop within that facility or move into a new build-up or a retrofit,” TeamCFA Arizona State Director Tony Best said.

One segment of a larger network

TeamCFA is a growing national network of open-enrollment, public charter schools that provides access to start-up funding, grants, training, services, the Core Knowledge Curriculum and even facilities, according to the Alexander Hamilton Community School’s website.

The website continues that professional development, curriculum mapping and implementation support, assessment tools, educational technology tools, attendance at the annual TeamCFA educational conference, and access to a network of professional educators are benefits of being involved in the network.

Team is an acronym for “Together Each Achieves More,” while CFA is an acronym for Challenge Foundation Academy, which according to the Glendale school’s website is “a private family charitable trust that supports over 187 charters schools through more than $20M in grants.”

As explained by Best, Alexander Hamilton Community School is a charter management organization (CMO).

Though the original TeamCFA model was to help fund the launch of its schools, leading to eventual financial independence after five to seven years,

The program, she expanded, starts youngsters lightly in certain subject matter, and each subsequent year builds upon it, exploring the details in greater depth.

“The purpose of it is to expand the knowledge of our students so that they are not only able to read better, but also (become) better consumers of the world around them and can participate in a more Jessica Roman-Salazar is the active and proactive way school director for Alexander Hamilton Community School: in our society,” she said.

to expand options as the school itself grows.

“We have big dreams and visions for what we want to offer; however, it’s our first year,” Roman-Salazar said.

She noted physical education will be offered everyday, and there will be a second elective, most likely in music.

In the future, administrators intend to launch a variety of elective choices, including in the arts.

She even said financial literacy courses would make an interesting possibility as expansion adds older grade levels.

A ‘community’ school

Emphasizing the “community” in Alexander Hamilton Community School, administrators are looking to be exactly that: part of the community.

It all starts within the school.

As Roman-Salazar tells it, it’s important to engage parents and help them feel as if they are contributing to their own child’s education. This comes through having open communication with parents or guardians.

And according to the school’s website, partnerships are just as important outside of parent-teacher relationships.

Partnerships have been established, pursued or are being sought with Maryvale Branch YMCA, Maryvale Adolescent Providers Partnership and Maryvale Revitalization Corporation, Teach for America, Golden Gate Community Center, West-MEC, Grand Canyon University and Arizona State University.

In other recent news, the school recently partnered with Protection Plus Dental for free dental screenings, and Sporting AZ FC for a free soccer clinic.

“We’d also like to continue those events, but as we are established as a school we’d like to continue partnering with different organizations to connect families to resources or support that they may need and also offer our space as a place where those organizations can come here,” Roman-Salazar explained. “We know that parents are going to come to school; they already have a reason to come to school. Why not help them have easier access to the things that they need?”

Glendale offers utility bill aid to residents

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Glendale Star Staff Writer

The city of Glendale is hosting events in June to provide utility payment assistance.

Residents who meet the requirements can get assistance or credit toward their utility payments, thanks to the Glendale Community Action Program’s Utility Payment Assistance Application Event. Attendees will be helped on a first-come, first-served basis.

The events are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Fridays June 14 and June 28 at 5850 W. Glendale Avenue, Suite B-51, Glendale.

“It’s a funding source provided by the state that we utilize to help people with their utilities,” said Ismael Cantu, Glendale’s community action program administrator.

Cantu said the Glendale Community Action Program is trying to get ahead of the summer, when utility bills are at their highest.

“It’s an opportunity in which somebody can come in, have someone evaluate them, check their documents for eligibility and, if they qualify, offer them the assistance that may include helping them pay their utility payments,” Cantu said.

Cantu urges people to visit glendaleaz.com/CAP to learn about the requirements and the documents they should bring to their visit. Those include an U.S. birth certificate or passport or proof of current legal resident status, in addition to photo identification. Social security cards for all household member and current utility bill are also required. In addition, all household members must verify their income.

Residents who have received utility assistance from any CAP office in the last 12 months will not be eligible. For more information, call 623-930-2854.

Any adult in the household can discuss their options.

“If we got a working parent that has to work between those hours and is worried about their utility bill being behind, then any adult within that household can come instead,” Cantu said.

“We look forward to bringing big changes to the campus over the next school year while ensuring the students and staff do not have to endure any major construction-related disruptions.”

Horn said they focused on sustainable construction, and McCarthy is recognized as the nation’s top 20 green builder.

“At BWS Architects, we believe in

creating enriching learning environments where students and educators can discover and grow together,” said Frank Slingerland, BWS Architects design principal. “We greatly appreciate our partnership with McCarthy Building Companies and the Washington Elementary School District as we bring our collective vision to life and create long-lasting pride for the Arroyo school community.”

Lyft’s grocery program connects residents, vendors

BY ANDREA ESTRADA Glendale Star Staff Writer

Food City, Lyft and Valley of the Sun United Way officials alongside local families and Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego broke ground on their Grocery Access Program — which will assist Greater Phoenix residents living in food deserts, or low-income areas with limited access to full-service grocery stores — on May 21 at a Food City supermarket in South Phoenix.

The goal of the Grocery Access Program is to improve access to healthy, fresh foods for Glendale, Phoenix and Tempe residents living in food deserts through affordable and reliable transportation, said Drena Kusari, Lyft’s southwest regional director.

According to Kusari, 46% of the Lyft rides in Phoenix start or end in low-income communities — which are usually food desert areas.

“With Food City and United Way, we anticipate the Grocery Access Program will make it easier, faster and less expensive for these residents in these areas to go to the grocery store,” Kusari said.

Using the code “FOODACCESSPHX,” Lyft users will have access to $2 rides to or from any of the 16 participating Food City locations and up to 12 round trips through September 1

deserts in the Valley.

“This can make a huge difference to people who don’t have that ability. We want to make sure they can get fresh food home safely — as well as in the summer; frozen food home without losing it,” she said.

“We are going to have a lot of healthier families as a result of this. We want people to have the food that they want and enjoy,” Gallego said.

Marisol Salazar, a Phoenix resident who plans to participate in the Grocery Access Program, said partnerships like that of Lyft, Food City and Valley of the Sun United Way are positive for low-income communities.

“I like the help that is being offered

by Food City, Lyft and United Way because it gives me access — if I don’t have transportation — to get groceries home for my family,” she said in Spanish.

Salazar added she will now be able to buy fresh food for her children without it perishing.

“If you use the service, you’re going to spend less and get home quicker.

Ottawa University names Dennis Tyner president

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

Nearly three years after opening a new campus in Surprise, Ottawa University has named Dr. Dennis Tyner as its first president.

Tyner, who has led the West Valley campus since it opened in February 2017, was promoted from senior vice president by Chancellor Dr. Kevin Eichner.

“Dr. Tyner has done a tremendous job leading our new Surprise campus — and literally helping it rise out of the ground from day one — in his role as senior vice president and provost,” Eichner said. “He has provided superior leadership as our lead executive in the past two years, during which time enormous progress has been made in planting this new version of Ottawa University in the Valley of the Sun.” More than $50 million in new construction is planned or underway.

Some of the major projects include $20 million for student housing, expected to be ready in November, as well as an activity center and numerous sports facilities.

“I’m deeply honored to have been selected by Chancellor Eichner to serve as the first president of our OUAZ res-

idential campus, and I’m excited about the continued growth opportunities,” Tyner said.

“I’m grateful for the talented team of people here, who I’ve been privileged to work with since arriving on the Surprise campus. I’m so proud of their accomplishments to date. Together we have built a solid foundation that focuses on providing our students with a college experience that is second to none.”

Tyner has over 30 years’ experience in higher education, with numerous years spent in instruction, admissions, curriculum and program development, facilities operations, athletics and student activities. He joined Ottawa University in 2007 after leaving his position as dean of the David Crawford School of Engineering at Norwich University in Vermont.

“Dr. Tyner will personally oversee academic affairs for both Surprise and Phoenix,” Eichner said. “In addition, the Surprise athletic and student affairs areas will report up to him. He will continue to build and personally teach in the engineering and sciences areas,

and will focus his fundraising activities in support of those. Finally, he will continue to be the major day-to-day liaison with the city of Surprise, working closely with our partners there.”

Tyner earned his bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in electrical engineering from Northeastern University in Boston and has published several articles on research. He has also taught engineering students for more than 20 years at numerous institutions.

Ottawa University is a private, Baptist, liberal arts university based in Ottawa, Kansas, though it has satellite campuses around the United States, including the Surprise location. It was founded in 1865 and is affiliated with the American Baptist Churches of USA. The college has over 5,000 total students, with over 800 projected to begin this fall in Surprise.

Ottawa is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and offers over a number of degree programs including Master of Business Administration, Master of Arts in Education, Master of Arts in Human Resources and Master of Arts in Counseling.

Board of supervisors OKs tentative FY 2020 budget

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF With a new decade on the horizon, the nation’s fastest-growing county is making smart investments to further position itself as an attractive, long-term home for families and businesses. On May 20, the board of supervisors approved a tentative $2.57 billion budget for fiscal year 2020.

“This fiscally responsible and sustainable budget keeps the tax rate steady for our residents while investing in the kinds of technology and infrastructure that works to serve citizens better,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates, District 3.

“These investments include strengthening public safety, improving the voter experience, preserving and enhancing our open space, and utilizing technology and process improvement to save money and make our county government more efficient while providing better service. I am grateful to my colleagues on the board and to all departments for budgeting in a way that plans for, and protects, the future.”

With the 2020 elections fast approaching, the budget reserves funding for updated elections equipment that is expected to increase the speed with which votes can be counted. Improved technology is one piece of a larger discussion about the future of elections in Maricopa County.

“Making our elections the best they can be is a priority of every person on this board,” said Vice Chairman Clint Hickman, District 4. “Modern, reliable equipment is essential for a county of our size so we can efficiently handle the potential record number of voters participating in our democracy in the 2020 elections and beyond.”

Recent numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau show Maricopa County added 81,244 people between July 2017 and July 2018, the most of any county in the nation.

The FY 2020 budget allocates $296.9 million for capital improvement projects which will modernize the infrastructure needed to support that growing population.

Those projects include multimillion-dollar investments in county parks; a new East Valley animal shelter; and a new substation for the Sheriff’s Office in Avondale.

The budget also provides continued funding for the new jail intake facility, Southeast Regional Justice Center, Central Court building, and 225 Madison renovation project, which will turn an old jail

into modern, usable office space.

“I am proud to be part of the team that continues to pass budgets that protect our taxpayers while serving the needs of our ever-growing county population,” said Supervisor Jack Sellers, District 1. “This budget will assure the protection and well-being of our citizens. I’m pleased the tax rate won’t change nor is the county required to take on debt to fund operations.”

At a time when many other counties are taxing as much as they are allowed by state law, Maricopa County’s tax levy is $140.5 million below the maximum.

“We live in the most dynamic county in the United States where people tend to have a lower cost of living and pay less for government services than they do in other large metropolitan areas, while also having access to diverse job and recreational opportunities,” said Supervisor Steve Chucri, District 2.

“This budget supports the Maricopa County of the future by building on a great foundation of innovative planning and fiscal intelligence to move us forward.”

Other budget highlights include: • $1.5 million to continue the current model of animal shelter operations that has resulted in a 95% save rate • $1.5 million for process and technology improvements that support the strategic goal of becoming an all-digital county by 2022 • $100,000 to update unincorporated area plans for the next generation • Three new positions for the county’s Innovation Studio, focused on process improvement that in 2018 saved an estimated $1.5 million • Full-time, permanent homeless coordinator to support regional solutions to homelessness through Human Services Department “Investments in county staff directly benefit the people of Maricopa County by ensuring the best and brightest work here, and not somewhere else,” said Supervisor Steve Gallardo, District 5.

“Having a permanent homeless coordinator at a time when the region’s homeless population continues to grow at an alarming rate is one example of how the county is prioritizing spending to make a real difference on issues that matter.”

The public will be able to comment on the tentative budget between now and the final vote, which is scheduled for June 24.

Glendale native serves aboard ‘floating airport at sea’

BY MASS COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST 1ST CLASS ROBERT ZAHN

Navy Office of Community Outreach

Petty Officer 1st Class Timothy Black, a native of Glendale, joined the Navy to carry on the family tradition of military service.

Now, nine years later and half a world away, Black serves aboard the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan, patrolling one of the world’s busiest maritime regions as part of the leading-edge of U.S. 7th Fleet.

“Being stationed on a carrier is a beautiful thing when it is moving because it becomes alive when operating at sea,” Black said.

Black, a 2010 graduate of Ironwood High School, is a mass communication specialist aboard the Yokosuka, Japan-based ship, the only forward-deployed aircraft carrier in the Navy.

“I manage maintenance for the graphics media department, ensuring that all our spaces are preserved to meet the longevity requirement of 60 years of service,” he said.

He credits success in the Navy to

many of the lessons learned in Glendale.

U.S. 7th Fleet spans more than 124 million square kilometers, stretching from the International Date Line to the India/Pakistan border; and from the Kuril Islands in the north to the Antarctic in the south. U.S. 7th Fleet’s area of operations encompasses 36 maritime countries and 50% of the world’s population with between 50-70 U.S. ships and submarines, 140 aircraft and approximately 20,000 sailors.

“We get to deploy frequently and hit some awesome ports,” Black said.

“The food in Japan is amazing.”

With more than 50% of the world’s shipping tonnage and a third of the world’s crude oil passing through the region, the United States has historic and enduring interests in this part of the world. The Navy’s presence in Yokosuka is part of that longstanding commitment, Navy officials explained.

“The Navy is forward-deployed to provide security and strengthen relationships in a free and open Indo-Pacific. It’s not just the ships and aircraft that have shown up to prevent conflict

and promote peace,” said Vice Adm. Phil Sawyer, commander, U.S. 7th Fleet. “It is, and will continue to be, our people who define the role our Navy plays around the world — people who’ve made a choice and have the will and strength of character to make a difference.”

Named in honor of former President Ronald Reagan, the carrier is longer than three football fields, measuring nearly 1,100 feet.

The ship, a true floating city, weighs more than 100,000 tons and has a flight deck that is 252 feet wide. Two nuclear reactors can push the ship through the water at more than 35 mph.

Sailors’ jobs are highly varied aboard the carrier.

City discusses possible changes to recycling program

BY DARRELL JACKSON

cally food waste. Curbside recycling has a 20% to 25% contamination rate, which is the inclusion of items that cannot be recycled that are placed into the recycling bins.

“When that happens, staff separates the nonrecycling items so we can get the items we can process,” she said. “In order to sell our items to countries such as China, contamination rate can only be around 5% so we cannot sell our items because of our rate of contamination.

“I would say one of our greatest challenges is to get people to recycle the right items and put the right things in the bin and keep the wrong things out. It’s a great program, but we need to educate citizens so they know what can and cannot go in the recycling containers.”

The MRF programs loses money, but is offset by the landfill’s revenue. Woytenko said staff believes the program should continue.

Glendale’s MRF program is projected to lose an average of $1.2 million per year through fiscal year 2024.

While the landfill budget begins with a $6,294,375 fund balance, the operating revenue is projected at $13,890,427 with

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Glendale city staff recommended the continuation of the recycling program during a landfill 10-year master plan presentation on May 14.

The program began in 2000. The Material Recovery Facility (MRF) has blossomed into an operation that takes in approximately 65 to 90 tons of recyclable materials from Glendale residents daily.

Water bottles, milk containers, detergent containers and PVC pipes are among the plastics that can be recycled.

Curbside recycling now can only accept two types of containers.

“Currently, we take all seven types of plastics in our program, but staff is recommending we discontinue taking plastics expect for water bottles and milk containers,” Field Operations Director Michelle Woytenko said.

“We believe we should keep it small and those are something we can do at our MRF.” The program has had an occasional bump in the road.

The most frequent is contamination within the recycled items, which is typi-

expenses projected at $17,400,590 for 2019-20.

Projections would reduce the landfill ending fund balance to $2,784,212 after being forced to dip into the beginning balance to cover costs over the year.

“This is not a local program, this goes to companies that need to make changes,” Woytenko said. “Recycling in the United States and most nations in the world it is not about money. It costs money, but we still think it is the right thing to do even at a cost.”

Vice Mayor Joyce Clark said she doesn’t think the majority of the population will put the plastics in the correct bins.

“It may work after, say, five years of education, but I am afraid we are confusing people and we should stay in the current program and not make more changes,” she said.

Cholla District Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff wondered if educating citizens would result in increased production and reduced contamination rates.

“How do we show residents what can and cannot be placed into the blue barrels?” Tolmachoff asked.

“Without technology improvements

(to the MRF) how much more expensive would it be if residents sort into more than one barrel like other cities.”

Woytenko answered, “We looked at feasibility studies and facilities that do well with residents sorting their materials. More come in clean and with less contamination. We looked at ways to do that and we could move the needle (on reducing contamination) but it would not cover the costs of collection.”

Council agreed to continue the recycling program with the acceptance of two plastics instead of the current seven.

The item will return for final approval.

Also at the workshop, staff provided an overview of the five landfill division — the landfill, gas management, solid waste administration, recycling and MRF. The landfill division’s master plan provides a long-range, fiscally sound, development plan to maximize the life of the Glendale Municipal Landfill. The plan uses goals, objectives and strategies to implement the improvements outlined in staff’s plan.

“Approximately 355,000 tons per year are taken into the landfill and hopefully we do an efficient job compacting waste for the landfill,” Woytenko said.

The landfill is funded through gate receipts of citizens who dump waste, and the intergovernmental agreements with cities that dispose of their waste at the Glendale Landfill.

Projected revenues estimated for the upcoming year include $1.85 million from gate proceeds, $4.5 million from IGA’s, $2.9 million from solid waste collection and $1 million from MRF.

Council hears update on council assistant status

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

After a heated discussion about adding council assistant positions to the 2019-20 fiscal year budget, council heard examples of how the money could be used if a councilmember decided to forego the help.

The cost to add one council assistant position and reclassify an executive assistant to council assistant is $114,945, according to Vicki Rios, budget and finance department director. The position is included in the tentative 201920 budget, but council still needs to approve it.

Cholla District Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff and Cactus District councilman Ian Hugh, who share an assistant, have argued it was not about the extra money. The remaining funds should be used by the councilmembers to improve their districts.

Public Affairs Director Brent Stoddard explained how the new budgets would work. Each councilmember would be given a budget, an example of $190,000. Stoddard said the total is based on current councilmembers’ salary, expenses, benefits, office, supplies and other numbers divided by six councilmembers.

“Each councilmember would have to take out their salary, any assistants’ salary. What is left, each councilmember could use in their district discre-

tionary funds as long as it is allowed under the city charter,” Stoddard said.

Vice Mayor Joyce Clark questioned the plan.

“Take my budget and explain how it would work and what I would have left for my district,” Clark asked.

“By my math, I would have more discretionary funds under this proposal, correct?”

Stoddard said she would have more, depending on what she spent for an assistant. Barrel District Councilman Bart Turner questioned the spending.

“I am fine with this as long as there is understanding on coming back to address council policy and how funds should or should not be restricted,” Turner said.

Hugh was quick add councilmembers could use the funds as they see fit.

“This is perfectly clear that it is my council budget and I could spend it how I wanted and that is the only way I would be in favor of this proposal,” Hugh said.

Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps added funding must be used for legal expectations. Clark and Turner have requested their own personal council assistant, but others wanted to ensure they were allowed to use the budget money they do not use within their districts.

Clark, however, proposed that the councilmembers have assistants, and

suggested the addition of two positions to the budget in early May. Turner agreed.

“I would say council office does not operate efficiently under the current 3-to-1 (assistants to councilmembers) model, and I believe this will go a long

way to solving issues in the council office,” said Clark, who called the proposal “long overdue.”

Council concurred and the staff will return with a final proposal for the possible changes to council budgets soon.

Council prepares to change to LED lighting

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

Glendale officials continue cut costs as the City Council directed staff to move forward with changing city facilities’ lights to LED. Cholla District Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff asked staff to research the idea. Staff said to develop lighting design standards; determine and evaluate of cost and savings estimates; evaluate performance-based contracts to convert lights at numerous sites and phase in conversion plan. LEDs are more energy efficient than traditional incandescent lighting.

“Councilwoman Tolmachoff submitted the LED plan to take advantage of energy-efficient opportunities

and staff submitted information for energy and light cost efficiency,” said Michelle Wyotenko, field operations director. “We estimate it will take staff 80 hours to develop the plan.”

LEDs will be installed in city facilities to include city buildings, park lighting, parking lots, sports fields, security and area lights, recreation centers, libraries and well sites.

The project will be a joint effort between staff from field operations, public facilities, and the recreation and special events, community services and the waste service departments.

Transitioning streetlights to LED resulted in a $674,000 rebate from APS in January.

Townsend bill enhances Legislature’s comedic value

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

When I came to Arizona in the mid1990s, I found myself fascinated by the Arizona Legislature.

Then, as now, legislators earned the princely sum of $24,000 a year, and in return they seemed mostly motivated to entertain us.

Given that your average Hollywood blockbuster costs upwards of $100 million to produce, paying 90 elected officials about $2.2 million combined seemed like a smoking deal.

Early on, I started referring to our legislators as “the 90 Dwarfs,” before realizing that this was a grievous insult to Disney, Snow White, Dopey, Grumpy, Sneezy and little people everywhere.

Over time, I’ve reached a grudging admiration for this elected body, if for no other reason than their stamina.

Rarely have I met a group of people so intent on arguing over nothing for months on end.

Case in point?

Earlier in May, this august body passed a law making lemonade the “official state drink of Arizona.”

This declaration was not without controversy: House Bill 2692, sponsored

by Majority Leader Warren Petersen of Gilbert, failed in the Senate before being brought back on a reconsideration vote and winning passage by a tally of 18 yeas, 11 nays and one abstention.

Last week, amid a fight over the state budget, potential for another controversy arose when House Bill 2032, sponsored

by Mesa’s Kelly Townsend, resurfaced in the Senate. Townsend’s bill targets some of Arizona’s most notorious outlaws.

Classroom teachers.

HB 2032 would insert into statute the following: “A person acting on behalf of a school district or charter school or a person who aids another person on behalf of a school district or charter school shall not use speech or curricula during school time with the intent of influencing or changing a student’s political ideology or religious belief.”

Teachers found guilty of such thought crimes could be subject to a fine of up to $5,000.

You’ll forgive me if I don’t remember my K-12 days clearly, given that it was decades ago, but I seem to remember the best teachers I had challenging what I thought I knew.

Back then, we called such a novel concept “learning” and teachers would do things like make us read books with which we might disagree.

I couldn’t have been past sixth grade when we read books like “Johnny Tremain” and “Ishi, Last of His Tribe,” which certainly impacted my political ideology, as did my high school encounters with Elie Wiesel’s “Night” and George Orwell’s “1984.”

In modern American history, we were often encouraged to read a paper-born

relic known as the newspaper, which detailed current events that often became a focal point of vigorous debate.

In “The World According to Townsend,” that would appear to risk a five grand fine — as would asking students in a world religion class to take the radical step of reading pieces of various historic texts — say the Bible, the Qoran and the Talmud — to compare the belief systems of the world’s religions.

My guess is, Townsend and the bill’s supporters would accuse me of oversimplifying, saying they only intend to criminalize teachers who obviously stump for certain ideologies and beliefs.

My response: One person’s introduction surely is another person’s indoctrination. It seems to me impossible to draw a bright line defining where education ends and advocacy begins.

Should the bill pass — and I’m not holding my breath — this could be the statute that launched a thousand lawsuits.

Having said that, I can’t say I’m totally opposed to Townsend’s effort. Judged purely as theater and an opportunity to chuckle, this bill beats the finale of “Game of Thrones,” hands down.

Rep. Townsend, I raise my glass of Arizona lemonade to you.

Lesko: Medicare for none Inspiring leaders in the West Valley

BY REP. DEBBIE LESKO (AZ-08) Glendale Star Contributing Writer

Does Medicare for All provide free health care to illegal immigrants? That is the question I asked in the House Rules Committee hearing late last month. The disturbing answer was, yes, Medicare for All, the Democrats’ push for a government-controlled, one-sizefits-all health plan, will indeed provide free health care to illegal immigrants at the American taxpayers’ expense.

If that is not bad enough, consider this: all private health insurance, all Medicare Advantage plans, and even the current Medicare program would be eliminated, while still carrying a price tag of over $32 trillion with no plan on how to pay for it. Medicare for All is a shift away from the market-based health care system toward a government-run, socialist health care system that will inevitably require rationing of care, increasingly higher taxes, and an overall reduction of quality.

Medicare for All would eliminate all Medicare Advantage programs. In Arizona’s 8th district, 44% of seniors, 70,000 seniors, utilize Medicare Advantage.

Seniors would be forced to move out of a program that they have paid into their entire lives to enter a mandatory government program in which every American would be competing for their hard-earned health care. Not only is this system unfair, but it jeopardizes the health care of millions of senior citizens. I believe that our seniors deserve reliable and superior medical care at affordable prices.

Medicare for All would terminate employer-sponsored health care, forcing 158 million Americans who receive their health care through their job or union into a plan chosen by the federal

government. About 75% of Americans are satisfied with their current private health care plans and would be forced to leave these plans for a lower quality, more costly government health care plan. Individuals, not the government, deserve the freedom to select the plan that is best for themselves and their families. Medicare for All will take this choice away from you and your family.

The expansion of Medicare, a program that is already at risk, would be dangerous. If every American was put on Medicare, like this legislation would require, experts say Americans’ income tax rates would have to double, making it the largest tax increase in modern American history. That means your taxes will double to cover the cost of free health care for illegal immigrants.

I am committed to working together to build on proven solutions to lower health care costs for American families. I will not support legislation, like Medicare for All, that threatens the health of seniors, strips hard-working Americans of their health care freedom and forces hard-working Americans to pay for illegal immigrants’ health care.

I urge my Democrat colleagues in Congress to change their minds and stop this government takeover of our entire health care system and work with Republicans to create viable health care options for the American people.

BY MICHELLE R. HESS Leadership West Executive Director

Whenever people find out I am the executive director of Leadership West and a member of the Buckeye City Council, they tend to question my sanity. That is, with our country divided and a perception of a lack of civic engagement and leadership locally, they believe one person cannot make a difference. These naysayers and I have a definite difference of opinion. I, and countless others, have witnessed the changes in the West Valley and the leadership capabilities shown by graduates of the Leadership West program. Currently in its 25th year, these eager graduates have used their time and talents to join the leadership pipeline to support the future growth of the West Valley cities they work in and inhabit.

For those of you not yet familiar with Leadership West, we are a nonprofit organization that engages, informs and inspires proven leaders in business, nonprofits and government to leverage their time, talents and leadership capital to enhance the quality of life in the West Valley and Arizona. Besides these reasons to associate with Leadership West, it is vital that we educate others in the issues, challenges and successes of the communities we live in, so informed decisions can be made. This is how we create the movers and the shakers of the future.

So profound is the program that we can look at the successes through the results of the past 25 years. When we add up the thousands of community service hours, as well as those civically engaged, here are the impressive statistics: Seven of our graduates ran for office, one state representative was reelected, one state representative elected, one Central Arizona Project board member reelected, one person appointed to the Goodyear City Council and then elected, one graduate appointed to the Avondale school board and one voted in as vice mayor by her peers. Additionally, graduates serve as the current president and past president of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce and president of the Surprise Regional Chamber of Commerce.

Graduates have received many accolades for their leadership accomplishments including; the Phoenix Business Journal’s Most Admired Leader Award for Pendergast Superintendent Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux, Melissa Holdaway was an Athena Award finalist, Marie Rogers

Lopez had the Avondale Resource Center named for her years of service, Buckeye Elementary School District President Dr. Kristi Sandvik is the president-elect of the American Association of Superintendents and Administrators, WESTMARC President and CEO Sintra Hoffman received the Education Award from the Maricopa County Community Colleges, and Rep. Diego Espinoza received the Adelante Stepping Stones Award.

Most important is the civic-minded ownership of our graduates. Each program participant is required to complete a project that will enhance the lives of others in the West Valley. One such program that stands out is the Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life Conference, founded by Leadership West graduates Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux and Gina Godbehere. This anti-bullying, suicide prevention program has empowered youth and touched the lives of over 380,000 students throughout Arizona.

It is so easy to criticize our government and society today and talk about the apathy or the indifference. I prefer to concentrate on the difference makers in our local communities today. Luckily, Leadership West is recruiting for Class XXIV in the fall and you have the chance to apply and join the ranks of the caring, committed, concerned citizens.

We hope you will check us out today and support the program and events open to the public, and show that civic pride and ownership go hand in hand. We welcome you to Leadership West and will be proud of your future accomplishments.

Visit our website at leadershipwest.org for more information or to apply. Applications are due by Friday, May 31.

Outside of a new nature center in 2008 and a much-needed replacement of the playground in 2015, not much changed at Estrella Mountain Regional Park in the past decade. But in 2018, the board of supervisors was able to fund several new projects to revitalize the park. In FY 2020, this important work continues with $60,000 set aside for shaded sites for our park hosts, the volunteers who work full-time making our parks better in exchange for use of a campsite. Other recent projects include new landscaping and walking paths; additional trees and turf; a better water system; ramada replacements; and parking lot improvements. If you haven’t been to Estrella Mountain in a while, there’s no better time.

lake. This year, you will see a new, nature-themed playground. Attractions will include slides in the form of eagles and gila monsters, a cottonwood tree climber and swing, and even a spider web climber. The FY 2020 budget includes a few additional projects: $440,000 for fencing to protect visitors and $115,000 for ramada renovations.

All of this will make Lake Pleasant an even more pleasant place to be.

White Tank Mountain Regional Park

The FY 2020 budget includes approximately $500,000 in improvements to the county’s largest regional park. This fall, the Willow Day-Use Area will be converted into a semi-developed campground. Changes will include: 20 new campsites with picnic tables, campfire rings and parking for two vehicles; a new shower house in the current restroom building; and a trailer turn-around area.

If you’re looking to spend a night in the great outdoors, you don’t have to leave Maricopa County. We have you covered at White Tank.

Budgets are a reflection of priorities, and preserving and enhancing open space is one of mine. We’ll have the final vote on the FY 2020 budget next month. If approved, our Maricopa County parks will receive a significant injection of funds. I, for one, believe it is money well spent. I hope you agree.

Local most-awarded jeweler recognized nationally

BY ANDREA ESTRADA Glendale Star Staff Writer

Exotic, high-quality gemstones are Scott Bohall’s passions and, as owner of Treasures Custom Jewelers, he takes pride in showcasing rare pieces not possessed by anyone in a 20-mile radius.

Bohall’s family-owned store, at 20221 N. 67th Avenue, Suite E-2, Glendale, recently celebrated its 19th anniversary. In April, the national jewelry trade publication Mid-America Jewelry News featured the store.

Headlined “AZ Jeweler Leverages Design Awards to Attract Customers,” the magazine’s feature recognizes the store’s accolades. Treasures Custom Jewelers is Arizona’s most award-winning jewelry designer.

“It’s a great honor,” Bohall said.

“They only print the publication once

a month. In other words, one jeweler, once a month. There are a select few people each year. You can’t solicit them; they choose you.”

Together, Bohall; his wife, Danielle; and their daughter, Jessica Kelly, 32, have earned 33 state, national and international design awards, including ones from the Arizona State Jewelers Association and the American Gem Trade Association’s Spectrum Awards.

Their design awards speak to the Bohalls’ commitment to supplying and producing quality treasures.

“Nobody wants to feel like they’re a carbon copy of somebody else,” Bohall said. “Girls at prom; they don’t want to walk around and see the same dress on other girls. And everyone likes to feel like they’re an individual.”

Bohall said success wasn’t always in the books. After entering their first

jewelry design contest in the late 1990s, the Bohalls didn’t receive the feedback they expected.

“When the judges gave us constructive criticism, I had to understand they were correct; that some parts of our execution of our piece just wasn’t up to par,” Bohall said.

Bohall was raised to not give up, however. He took that criticism and got to work.

“We made our design skills better

and we made our quality of workmanship better and the next year we got an award,” he said. “We’ve been kind of on a roll ever since.”

Staying safe during the deadliest days of driving

BY MICHELLE DONATI-GRAYMAN AAA Arizona Government and Public Affairs Lead

The risk of motor vehicle crashes is higher among teens than any other age group. The summer, when they are driving more because school is out, is an especially dangerous time.

Over the past five years, nearly 3,500 people were killed in crashes involving teen drivers during the 100 Deadliest Days, between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The average number of daily deaths from crashes involving drivers ages 15-18 is 17% higher compared with the rest of the year, according to the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. And it’s not just teens who are at risk. Nearly two thirds of those injured or killed in a crash involving a teen driver are other people.

Major factors contributing to fatal teen crashes during the summer include: Speeding (28%): This growing problem among teen drivers significantly increases the severity of a crash. In the

AAA Foundation’s latest Traffic Safety Culture Index, half (49.7%) of teen drivers reported recently speeding on a residential street and nearly 40% say they sped on the freeway.

Drinking and driving (17%): Even though teens cannot legally consume alcohol, one in six teen drivers involved in fatal crashes during the sum-

mer tested positive for alcohol.

Distraction (9%): More than half of teen drivers (52%) report recently reading a text message or email while driving and nearly 40% report recently sending a text or email. While federal crash data shows just under 10% of crashes are related to this type of behavior, AAA Foundation research

using in-vehicle dash-cam videos of teen driver crashes found distraction was involved in 58% of teen crashes, approximately four times as many as federal estimates. It is difficult for law enforcement to detect distraction following a crash, which has made it one of the most underreported traffic safety problems.

AAA encourages parents to: • Talk with teens early and often about abstaining from dangerous behavior behind the wheel, such as speeding, impairment and distracted driving.

• Teach by example and minimize risky behavior.

• Make a parent-teen driving agreement (https://bit.ly/2sApHux) setting family rules for teen drivers.

AAA recommends that teens preparing to drive enroll in a driver education program that teaches safety skills including avoiding driver distraction. AAA also has tools for parents and teens, including the teendriving. aaa.com website and the AAA online StartSmart program (https://bit.ly/2wcMEqB).

Meet Everybody, Anybody, Somebody and Nobody Here’s a story for us to start off with. This story has been around for a while, but knowing a story and applying the lesson of the story are two different things.

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized Everybody wouldn’t do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

We live in a world of specialists.

In some respects, this is great. We all appreciate someone who special-

izes in a certain area, especially if we need what they specialize in. But saying or thinking “that’s not my department” to a simple job anyone could have done is something else.

There are many needs and people in need, that anyone could do the job if they really wanted. I remember one time in my church I was taking a guest speaker through our sanctuary.

It was the speaker’s first time at our church, and I wanted him to be familiar with the surroundings. As we were walking through the sanctuary

on the way to a meeting, I noticed several chairs out of place. I asked one of our deacons to put the chairs back in place. The deacon replied to me, “That’s not my department … it’s not my calling … it’s not my measure of grace.” I thought to myself, “Houston, we have a problem.”

You see, Anybody could have put the chairs back into place. But Nobody did it. Why? That’s not my department. That’s not my job. A servant leader will go where many specialists, professionals, politicians, academics and theology won’t.

Many people look for a way out of serving others in a real and tangible way. Might I suggest looking for a way to serve others in a real and tangible way, not just an academic or philosophical way?

Look at Jesus in the Bible. There wasn’t anything beyond Jesus’ measure of grace. Jesus valued people.

He showed it and he lived it. He took time out for people in need and things others should have done. He made time for children. He stopped to talk to the woman at the well in a time when you didn’t. He stopped his journey to heal a Roman centurion’s servant. Unheard of, yet He did it. Why? He only did what His Father

told him to do. In doing this, Jesus shows us what God is like. God loves everyone. Everybody is somebody with God. You see, “we can love because He (Jesus and God) first loved us.” 1 John 4:19. This was at a time when everyone was saying to everyone else, “If you love me, I will love you.” But others said, “No, if you love me first, I will love you.” It had gone on for centuries. Finally, Jesus stopped the back-and-forth pingpong game. Jesus looked for a way in and said, “I love you, now you can love Me and others.” He is a “solutionary,” not a solitary. He stopped the, “If you, then I” stuff. He found a need and met it.

Here are some final thoughts on stopping the “Everybody-blamedSomebody-when-Nobody-did-whatAnybody-could-have-done” cycle.

Find a need and meet it. Be a “solutionary.” To the world you might be one person but to one person you might be the world. The more I look at things, the more I believe the willingness to start is the smallest thing in life that makes the biggest difference in life. Step onto the field. Stand up in the meeting. Raise your hand in class. Get over the bar. Walk up to the podium. Ask the first question.

Take a risk; get started; contribute something.

Whether or not you end up being No. 1 in the world is irrelevant. Most of the time, the value you provide isn’t nearly as important as pushing yourself to provide it. Having the courage to start is more important than succeeding, because the people who consistently get started are the only ones who can end up finishing anything.

Maybe we could say it this way: A great place to find a helping hand is at the end of your arm.

Hopes high at Ironwood football spring practice

BY ERIC NEWMAN Glendale Star Staff Writer

There was a notable energy at Ironwood High School’s spring football game on May 17, as second-year coach Chris Rizzo was cheering and running around the field as much as the players looking to secure their roster spots.

The Eagles practiced for several weeks leading up to the exhibition, but athletes finishing other sports or academic commitments were not always able to make it. The event felt like the first time the entire group united and Rizzo could see an early manifestation of the talent he will have to utilize this year.

While a group of receivers and defensive backs ran routes, Rizzo threw passes, and led several cheers in team huddles throughout the night, a very hands-on approach to coaching.

He hopes that energy inspires the team to play the same way.

“I try to teach the kids that anything worth doing is worth overdoing, and that’s something you have to hold onto.

You can think yourself into energy and positivity, and that becomes a habit,” Rizzo said.

Quarterback Will Haskell, who is set to enter his junior year, said he and his teammates instantly bonded with their new coach. They could feel his desire to help them improve.

“The first day he saw me, he looked me in my eyes and said, ‘I’m going to make you a star,’ and he’s been a big factor in my development since then,”

Haskell said.

The Eagles hope that development can help lead them to a playoff berth, despite the team’s culture change. Ironwood, a senior-heavy team last season, still has a few returning veterans. But, just like Haskell, the majority of the varsity group is preparing to enter its junior year.

Among those juniors is EJ Sanders, who described the class as “a little undersized.” But this summer they’re getting bigger and stronger on the field and in the weight room. In the meantime, focus will be pointed toward onthe-field technique.

With a young core, the Eagles will look to form their own identity.

“We have a young team with a lot of

really fast guys, and we want to have a better season than we did before. We are pretty happy with everything at the moment,” Sanders said.

The Eagles finished with a 6-4 record last season, and narrowly missed the 5A playoffs. The bracket included 16 teams, and Ironwood was ranked No. 17. The Eagles have every reason to be-

lieve a spot in the bracket late this fall.

Before that, though, the team will take part in seven-on-seven passing tournaments and big-men competitions, much like many of the state’s top football teams.

Sanders said the speed shown in practices, as well as a palpable desire to improve before the regular season, could mean success in summer challenges.

“I feel like we’re going to have a lot of success in all that. We have a lot of intensity, and we’re going to try to play just as hard as we would in real games,” Sanders said.

The offseason games will serve as a chance to work on technique. The games can give the Eagle players a chance to bond, while competing without the pressure of the season.

However, nothing compares to the excitement of kids running out with helmets and pads on, Rizzo said.

“The trophies worth hoisting are in November. They require a lot of time and a lot of effort,” Rizzo said. “This summer is going to be fun, but we know what we’re really working toward the whole time.”

Bernadette Pauley to perform comedy at Stir Crazy

BY ERIC NEWMAN Glendale Star Staff Writer

Comedienne Bernadette Pauley is a self-proclaimed “outsider” in Hollywood and New York.

There, she said, agents overrun clubs to push their show business agendas.

Arizona is different, though. In Pauley’s experience, Stir Crazy Comedy Club at Westgate attracts fans who want to blow off steam after a long work week.

Pauley returns to Stir Crazy Comedy Club Thursday, June 20, to Saturday, June 22, bringing a variety of material based on “what’s annoying” about life through a litany of jobs, comedy performances and life experiences.

She made her stage debut 20 years ago at an open mic in Manhattan, riffing on the things that annoyed her as a young college graduate. Since then, she worked a slew of jobs, including cocktail waitress, paralegal work for one day and dog walker.

She also has worked as a real estate agent and a booking agent for fellow comedians. These experiences shape her comedically.

“I suppose all these years later I have more insight and I am a little bit better at talking about it,” she said.

As far as entertainment, Pauley has

to the rush of performing live.

“There’s something special about live stand-up that can’t be replaced,” she said.

“You have this connection with the audience and it’s fun every time.

There’s not all that malarkey there can be in this business because it’s just you and the crowd up there.”

Pauley is known as a confident female performer in a space dominated by men. However, she wants to be defined by her humor, not as a rebel fighting the system. Although she has been known to stand up for women’s rights, and wants to encourage others by her work, she mostly just wants to be “a funny Bernadette Pauley is set to perform comedy from Thursday, June person everyone can 20, to Saturday, June 22, in Glendale. (Photo courtesy Bernadette Pauley) enjoy.” appeared on “Gotham Comedy Live,” “I’m just another person struggling “Comedy.TV” and “The Gossip to get by in this life, just like everyQueen.” However, nothing compares one else,” Pauley said. “If I can share

some of that with people and make them laugh, that’s really all I care about.”

When Pauley is not home with her dog and husband, comedian Al Ducharme, she regularly tours the United States delivering her witty and fun stories presenting her perspective on the world.

This positive attitude extends to her good friend, comedian Gene Moore, who will open for Pauley in June’s performances.

Before his comedy career took off, Moore spent his time driving comedians to shows. He and Pauley met on one of these excursions years ago, and they have since been close.

“To this day, I’ll still call him and say, ‘Hey Gene, I’ve got 10 minutes, come pick me up for my show,’ and we laugh about it,” Pauley said.

“People like him are what make Arizona so much fun for me.”

The Rolling Stones announce new Glendale date

BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

After being forced to postpone their tour for medical reasons, The Rolling Stone plan to start up their No Filter North American Tour June 21 in Chicago, Illinois.

The Rolling Stones, who were originally set to play State Farm Stadium May 7, will now play in Glendale August 26.

All cities from the previously postponed shows have been rescheduled, and the band confirmed on Twitter that the shows are “locked in.”

Tickets sold for the original date will be honored, and the band announced on social media and that “fans do not need

to exchange their tickets. Those who cannot attend the re-scheduled date can refund their tickets by accessing their Ticketmaster account.”

For transferred tickets, the refund will go to the fan who originally bought the tickets, once they have been transferred back.

The band was forced to postpone the tour after lead singer Mick Jagger underwent surgery to replace a heart valve.

At the time of the announcement, Jagger shared on social media, “I really hate letting you down like this. I am devastated for having to postpone the tour, but I will be working very hard to be back on stage as soon as I can.”

A statement by the Stones surround-

ing the March postponement said, “Mick Jagger has been advised by doctors that he cannot go on tour at this time as he needs medical treatment.

“The doctors have advised Mick that he is expected to make a complete recovery so that he can get back on stage as soon as possible.”

Jagger recently showcased himself dancing in a video sent to fans to show he was preparing for the rescheduled dates.

The Stones’ No Filter tour will now kick off in Chicago with two shows, June 21 and June 25, then head for Ontario on June 29. The Canada show will be followed by shows in Washington, D.C.; Foxboro; East Rutherford; Phil-

adelphia; Houston; Jacksonville; a new show in New Orleans; Denver; Seattle; Santa Clara; Pasadena; Glendale and Miami.

This will be the Stones’ first stop in Arizona in nearly 13 years, when they played the first official show at then University of Phoenix Stadium November 8, 2006.

The Rolling Stones — consisting of Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts and Ronnie Wood — have been together for over 57 years, and have produced some of the most well-known songs in rock ‘n’ roll, including “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Satisfaction,” “Start Me Up,” “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and “Ruby Tuesday.”

Glendale Union High School District news

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF

Governing board honors Achievement Above All recipients

In the final Achievement Above All event of the 2018-19 school year, the Glendale Union High School District governing board celebrated one teacher, one student and one support staff member from specialty programs Next S.T.E.P., GUHSD Online Learning Academy and Northern Academy.

In addition, one support staff member from the District Office was honored on the May 15 regular meeting. These individuals were recognized for their outstanding contributions to their program and the district.

nie Slover, Next S.T.E.P. facilitator.

Montry has tackled several different subject areas including independent living skills classes, where she taught students about recipes, grocery shopping and leisure activities in the community. She has experience in teaching students how to write impressive resumes, complete job applications and give successful interviews. Her latest challenge is supervising the off-campus worksites with Next S.T.E.P. interns in the community.

“She also helped implement our Next S.T.E.P. economy system, which provides students the opportunity to learn how to pay monthly bills including rent, electricity, bus pass, cell phone and insurance, save for a large purchase and use their leftover money for a monthly auction,” Slover said.

Slover also mentioned that Montry is a positive, hardworking teacher who is dedicated to helping students achieve success.

“Through all the challenges I have thrown at Ms. Montry, she has taken them on with a smile and works to make sure students get the best opportunities they can get in order to become employed in the future,” Slover said.

Next S.T.E.P. teacher recipient Nicole Montry accepted the honor of being named the 2018-19 Teacher of the Year at Next S.T.E.P.. Prior to teaching at Next S.T.E.P., Montry worked at Cortez High School’s life skills department. Before that, she taught community-based classes at Tolleson High School for two years. Her years of experience provided her with the foundation of success in her current position.

“In the three years Ms. Montry has been at Next S.T.E.P., she has worked in three different areas of our program and has taken on that challenge every year with a determination to make sure students are successful,” said Stepha-

Moises Soto is the GUHSD Online Learning Academy’s 2018-19 Student of the Year.

Online Learning Academy student recipient The GUHSD Online Learning Academy 2018-19 Student of the Year award went to Moises Soto. After dropping

out of high school and moving from Minnesota in 2018, Soto enrolled in the Online Learning Academy, where he has made a name for himself and an everlasting impact in the program as he became the first peer tutor and achieved other accomplishments.

“Speaking to Moises Soto, one would never think he had a difficult last couple of years,” said Christine Lord, Online Learning Academy administrator.

“However, he has worked hard and will finish 8.5 credits this school year, and has already started summer school.”

In addition, he quickly won the hearts of the teachers and staff at the Online Learning Academy, Lord said.

Some of Soto’s teachers described him as an outstanding student and person, acknowledging him for his strict dedication to his studies. They also appreciate his uplifting spirit, particularly when he is assisting his peers with assignments and providing them with words of encouragement, Lord said.

Soto aspires to be a lifelong learner.

His interests include cognitive sciences, artificial intelligence and machine learning and neuroscience. For his future, he plans to earn a Ph.D. in neuroscience and software engineering.

“Moises is a dedicated, conscientious young man,” Lord said. “He exemplifies the meaning of perseverance and is a self-directed learner.”

Northern Academy support staff recipient Andrew Dersch was awarded with 2018-19 Support Staff of the Year at Northern Academy. As a 2003 Greenway High School graduate, Dersch has a long history with the Glendale Union High School District, including 15 years of coaching sports and the past eight years at Northern Academy. He spent four years as an instructional assistant before moving on to his current position as Northern Academy’s Behavior Coach. Around campus, Dersch is known only by “Mr. D.” “Mr. D is an affable, extremely patient and kind man who works tirelessly on behalf of students every single day,” said Denise Scafone, Northern Academy administrator. “He comes

to the aide of students and staff in distress, as well as working to preemptively address concerns that might lead to conflict. He never shirks from a task and diligently addresses students’ emotional needs so they may better learn and staff can better support other students.”

One of the most important aspects of Dersch’s career is to help students who suffer from emotional disabilities, which can interfere with one’s learning.

“Mr. D accepts students where they are emotionally, and works with them to develop the skills they need that will allow for learning,” Scafone said.

“His patience and empathic listening contribute to his highly effective de-escalation skills, allowing him to successfully move students back to rationality.”

In addition to all Dersch contributes to at Northern Academy, he has solely created a yearly competition called “Game of Pods,” which sets up incentives for all students based upon positive behavior changes.

Scafone also acknowledged Dersch’s personal nature that makes Northern Academy a better place.

“His growth in leadership and overall skills make me proud each day to work alongside him,” Scafone said.

“He truly is a right hand, go-to man that I, students and staff would all be lost without.”

Administrative Assistant to the Chief Financial Officer Tina Charette said, “Tess is like the office mom to everyone. She’s a great listener, and no matter how she’s feeling she cares about what’s going on with those around her.

I love being her workmate.”

Tess Dellisanti is the district office’s 2018-19 Support Staff of the Year.

District office support staff recipient The district office 2018-19 Support Staff of the Year was awarded to threetime Achievement Above All recipient Tess Dellisanti. After entering the workforce in the banking industry, Dellisanti left banking to become a stay-at-home mom. It was only after that when she entered the field of education with the Glendale Union High School District at Thunderbird High School. She now has more than 20 years of experience within the district.

Dellisanti has held several positions within the district including an instructional assistant, clerical aide, counseling program assistant and a receptionist. In her current position as the administrative assistant to the assistant superintendent of operations and resources, Dellisanti plays a vital role in managing CPR training and security alarms, helping human resources hire new coaches, supporting the work of all nine GUHSD assistant principals of operations and resources and much more.

“Each of these are time intensive and she excels at all of them,” said Matt Belden, assistant superintendent of operations and resources. “Her work ethic and quality of work is of the highest standards.”

A couple of Dellisanti’s coworkers cared to share some fine remarks about her character, work ethic and contributions.

“Mrs. Dellisanti not only reminds each of us every day the need to have a balance of professionalism and fun; she also exhibits both of those highly valuable traits in the best possible way,” said Allison Mattingly, assistant superintendent of human resources and professional development. “She genu-

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Summer can be difficult for parents in some ways. A time when youngsters are out of school, it can leave parents without a means to supervise their children if they have work or other obligations.

So, Mountainside Fitness is offering free child care this summer.

But there’s catch. It’s for new members who sign up before May 31.

These members will receive free child care through August 31.

New members who do not have children can opt to receive a $25 gift card instead. Mountainside Fitness offers certified child care at 16 locations throughout metro Phoenix.

“On-site interactive child care is something we provide to our members so parents can work out and not have to worry about child care logistics. That is especially true during the summer when kids are out of school,” said Tom Hatten, founder and owner of Mountainside Fitness.

Mountainside Fitness has dedicated child care spaces at its centers. The areas include bounce houses, gaming areas, basketball courts and small theaters. They have dedicated, certified staff as well as children’s exercise classes.

“Our child care areas are fun places for kids to enjoy while their parents enjoy our fitness centers,” Hatten said.

Mountainside Fitness has locations in Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Mesa, Queen Creek, Surprise and Chandler. The only location without child care is the Executive Club in Scottsdale.

The Peoria location is at 9745 W. Happy Valley Road. It is open 4:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 4:30 to 9 p.m. Fridays, and 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Legacy offering free, reduced-price lunch

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Several Legacy Traditional Schools campuses, including the one in Glendale, will offer free or reduced-price lunch through the National School Lunch Program beginning this fall.

Legacy’s North Chandler and East Mesa campus piloted the successful program during the 2018-19 school year. The federally subsidized assisted meal program provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunch and breakfast to children each school day.

“The importance of offering high-quality, low-cost meals for students cannot be understated, and we are so pleased to foster an environment where children can achieve overall

wellness and academic success,” Superintendent Nicole Kirkley said.

“Expanding our free and reduced-price lunch program provides increased access to nutritious meal options — supporting a strong academic foundation.”

Students may be determined “categorically eligible” for free meals through participation in certain Federal Assistance Programs, their status as a homeless, migrant, runaway or foster child, or based on household income and family size.

For more information about Legacy Traditional Schools and the free or reduced-price lunch program, visit legacytraditional.org.

Students’ artwork at Abrazo Arrowhead

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Abrazo Arrowhead Campus will showcase art from local students for patients and visitors to enjoy following its fourth annual art show in partnership with local high schools and the Glendale/Peoria YMCA. Abrazo Arrowhead’s most recent art show was held May 2 in the Glendale/ Peoria YMCA gymnasium. Students from eight local high schools participated, displaying some 85 pieces of art.

Students from Liberty, Greenway, Ironwood, Raymond S. Kellis, Mountain Ridge, Centennial, Boulder Creek and Moon Valley high schools displayed their creativity for community members, family and teachers. After judging the artwork, awards were presented to:

Jaidyn Proudfit – Photography Liberty High School Kendra Sears – Drawing Liberty High School Malissa Petersen – Painting Liberty High School Kelsey Diaz – Scratchboard Greenway High School Tara Wilson – Drawing Ironwood High School Student art from the show will be on loan to Abrazo Arrowhead Campus for one year of display, and some pieces are donated to remain on the hospital walls. Over the past three years, more than 600 works of art have rotated through the hospital and over 100 pieces have been donated to Abrazo Arrowhead.

Abrazo Arrowhead’s high school art competition is coordinated by Jean Schemm, Amber Gorichs, Cher Cleveland and Katie Caracciolo as part of the hospital’s Voice of the Customer Ambassadors team.

Schemm, an oncology nurse, said the program is a partnership that offers a unique experience for the student artists.

“The students’ art not only adds color to our walls; it is much appreciated by our patients and visitors,” she said. “Patients can view the art during their hospital stay and it helps add a smile during recovery.”

Business Briefcase

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Hello, readers! Today’s column is rather timely as, coming off the heels of Phoenix Fan Fusion, there are several comic-related businesses undergoing changes in Glendale. Here they are!

First, Coffee with Comics recently took out a business license, and is subleasing a small space out of Jesse James Comics. Speaking with The Glendale Star, co-owner Jo Thomas, who will run the shop with her husband, Kevin, upon its anticipated opening in early June, estimated it to comprise about 400 square feet of Jesse James Comics’ 8,000 square feet.

“We will do the midnight releases that they do with the new comics occasionally; we’ll have Black Friday sales

and of course things like that; we offer box subscriptions, where people can get a box subscription with us where we pull comics for them that they request us to every week, and because of that they do get a discount and other special offers for being a box holder with us,” Thomas explained.

In addition to comics, Thomas said plans are to sell collectibles like Funko Pops! and possibly branded coffee cups.

“We will be selling other merchandise, but it will be limited in the beginning. We don’t want to grow too big to where we set ourselves up to fail,” she said.

Though the small shop within a shop is called “Coffee with Comics,” it seems it has yet to grow into its name — though coffee will be offered on Hosted By:

Wednesdays, or new release day.

“When I originally started this I did it out of my home, and I kind of did it where I was just chatting with folks over coffee and talking about comics.

So, we just kind of kept the name,” Thomas explained. “Eventually at some point, yes, I would like to have a coffee shop inside of the store. That is the end goal.”

For more information, visit coffeewithcomics.com or find it on Facebook and Instagram @coffeewithcomics to keep track of when an official opening is set.

And speaking of Jesse James Comics, it is under renovation — but it is still open. The store’s more than 8,000 square feet will be upgraded, according to a Facebook post, and more comics with better pricing were emphasized.

Though Thomas could not speak in detail on behalf of Jesse James Comics, she clarified the renovations essentially mean a redesigned interior and different sections to highlight different publishers. The Briefcase is still working on getting in touch with Jesse James Comics for more details, and will keep you posted in future weeks. In the meantime, visit jessejamescomics. com or find it on Facebook @jjcomics, Twitter @jessejamescomic and Insta-

gram @jessejamescomics.

Jesse James Comics and Coffee with Comics are located at 5140 W. Peoria Avenue, Suites 100 and 102, respectively. This is at the northwest corner of Peoria and 51st avenues.

Finally, let’s throw in an event for good measure.

RE/MAX Professionals is planning for a 3-Hour Business Planning Workshop from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Thursday, May 30. The free event is at Urban Margarita, 6685 W. Beardsley Road, Suite 180. A taco bar and margarita happy hour are included in the event, which is hosted by coach, author, speaker and real estate trainer Sarah Michelle Bliss, as well as RE/ MAX Professionals’ Nate Martinez.

This is a bit of late news, however, as space is limited. So, if there’s any left, don’t hesitate to snatch it up and stop by. For more information or the RSVP, visit eventbrite.com/e/3-hourbusiness-planning-workshop-tickets-53697126551.

That’s all the briefs for this week.

Tips for Having a Great Garage Sale!

1. Sort through your closets, cupboards and garage for items to sell.

2. Partner up with a neighbor or friend.

This is helpful to give each other breaks during the day.

3. Advertise your sale — ask us for our Yard Sale Special!

4. In your ad include the type of sale, (e.g., Yard Sale, Multi-Family Sale), date, time, address/cross streets, and be specific on prices for high dollar items. Popular items you can include: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, yard equipment, designer/ children’s clothes and shoes, craft items, antiques, unique items and collectibles/ collections.

5. Place signs on major cross streets and on the corners leading into your neighborhood. Just a fat, solid black arrow on colorful poster board works fine.

6. Price your items. If having a Multi-Family sale, each family should have a different colored price tag. You can do a $1 table, $5 table, etc., to save time.

7. Money. Be prepared with change, including coins. Do not accept checks. Cash only!

8. Have electricity available to test items.

9. Be safe. Do not let anyone into your home. Take your phone outside with you Have an extra person relieve you occasionally.

10. If it’s warm, offer cold bottled water for sale to cool off your customers! Happy customers buy things!

11. After the sale, remove your signs and donate leftover items to a local charity.
