Short-term rentals to be regulated BY JORDAN ROGERS
T
Glendale Star Staff Writer
he city of Glendale approved a pair of ordinances at a recent city council meeting aimed at regulating short-term rentals. Prior to approval, the Glendale city code did not have a section regulating shortterm rentals, as it pertained to state law. The first ordinance now requires owners of short-term rentals and vacation homes to register with the city of Glendale and provide it with emergency contact information in the event of a police response to the home. Deputy City Manager Rick St. John said the city will use “software on the market
that does a public database search” to decipher which residences around the city are currently being used as short-term rental spaces. From there, the city will require these owners to register with the city. “It does limit some of the use of shortterm rentals,” St. John added. “It can’t be used for commercial reasons, and it can’t be a silver-living environment.” The second ordinance makes it illegal for short-term rentals and vacation homes to throw parties that are deemed “nuisance parties” or “unlawful gatherings.” “The difference between a nuisance party and an unlawful gathering is that criminal element,” St. John said. “An unlawful gathering would include underage drink-
ing or illicit drug use. A nuisance party would be an adult group that isn’t committing any crimes other than disturbing the peace and quiet of the neighborhood. “Many of these parties require a pretty extensive police response, and so this ordinance would allow for the police chief to assess a fee based on his or her response. There would also be a citation issued through the court with a set fine schedule.” On top of that, the city will decide whether owners will be held accountable for their renters’ actions. A fee or fine could be levied against the owner if the city determines owners knowingly allowed a nuisance party or unlawful
mission. Wirtanen was recognized for many reasons, including her quick response when a patient arrived in the Arrowhead ER with a knife wound that sliced his throat from ear to ear, near the carotid artery. Without her quick coordination of care, the patient would not have survived. “Shelby has gone above and beyond not only for the emergency department but for our hospital,” said Julie Bowman, Abrazo Arrowhead chief nursing officer. “She is very involved at Abrazo Arrowhead and is the co-chair of our shared governance committee. She exhibits everything you envision when you think about what a nurse should be.”
The award nomination noted that Wirtanen’s compassion and day-to-day interactions with challenging patients never deter her from providing quality care. She is an exceptional nurse and never lets the stress of the emergency department or pandemic surges interfere with her work. “Shelby is a role model that other members of her team look up to,” said nurse Chrissy Salazar, Abrazo Arrowhead emergency room director. “Anytime another nurse needs assistance with a challenging situation, Shelby is there without complaint and willing to help. She is the definition of a team player.”

gathering to commence at their residence. “The city has to demonstrate (the owner) was negligent or should have known that the activity was going to occur if they rented to a certain group of people,” St. John said. “Outside of that city proof of negligence, a fee or fine would not be administered to the owner.” Glendale is not the first city in the Valley to attempt to regulate its many short-term rentals. Scottsdale has adopted and amended its ordinance in 2019 and 2021, respectively. Paradise Valley also took a crack at its short-term rentals in January. The new regulations come at a pivotal time, as State Farm Stadium is set to host next season’s Super Bowl for the first time since 2015.

Glendale’s Goodwin supports aviators BY CHIEF MASS COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST JEFFERY TILGHMAN WILLIAMS

Glendale native is serving with Naval Aviation Warfare Development Center supporting TOPGUN aviators at the Navy’s premier tactical air warfare training center. Petty Officer 1st Class Kent Goodwin is a 2007 Independence High School graduate. “Early in life I learned the importance of attention to detail,” Goodwin said. “When you do things right the first time, you don’t have to do them again.” These lessons have helped Goodwin while serving in the Navy. Today, Goodwin serves as an aviation electrician’s mate at Naval Air Station (NAS) Fallon, Nevada. “I joined the Navy to travel the world,” Goodwin said. Fifty-two years ago, TOPGUN was introduced with the mission of reduc-

ing casualties of naval aviators sustained during the Vietnam War. Within a year, this goal was reached with the United States having one casualty for every 12 enemy deaths. Since then, TOPGUN continues to train the finest naval aviators and has inspired the blockbuster “Top Gun” in May 1986. The sequel hit screens May 27. Today’s U.S. Naval Aviators possess the professionalism, tactical skills, innovative mindset, and understanding of advanced technologies to succeed against adversaries. They are disciplined, critical thinkers who excel in challenging environments — like those seen in the movie, according to U.S. Navy officials. “I am extremely excited about the impact this movie will have,” said Vice Adm. Kenneth Whitesell, commander, Naval Air Forces. “Much like the trend that followed the original film, I am confident that ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ will have a tremendous impact on our Navy recruiting efforts, which will greatly increase the numbers of brave and talented sailors among our ranks.” According to Navy officials, TOPGUN is a prestigious program only open to the top 1% of naval aviators. Aviators who attend the course are trained in a variety of areas including air combat, jet maneuverability and enemy tactics. The mission of NAS Fallon is to support carrier air wings prior to deployment, as well as other units during training and exercises. This goal is achieved through 300 clear flight days a year, four bombing ranges, an electronic warfare range and many other training facilities. The base is also home to a 14,000-foot runway, which is the longest in the Navy. NAS Fallon provides aviators the unique opportunity to train in realistic battle scenariSEE GOODWIN PAGE 5

os while including every element of an air carrier wing. It is the only facility in the world with this ability. The aircraft stationed at NAS Fallon support aircraft carrier missions around the world. This year, the Navy is celebrating the centennial of the aircraft carrier and its importance to naval aviation. When the air wing is embarked on an aircraft carrier, the ship contains more than 70 attack fighter jets, helicopters and other aircraft, all of which take off from and land aboard the carrier at sea. With more than 5,000 sailors serving aboard these ships, aircraft carriers are self-contained mobile airports. “The aircraft carrier is our U.S. Navy’s centerpiece, our flagship, and a constant reminder to the rest of the world of our enduring maritime pres-
ence and influence,” said Rear Arm. James P. Downey, USN, program executive officer (PEO), Aircraft Carriers. “These ships touch every part of our Navy’s mission to project power, ensure sea control, and deter our adversaries.” Serving in the Navy means Goodwin is part of a world that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy. “Every sailor plays an important role in the Navy’s projection of power and focus on freedom of navigation globally,” Goodwin said. With more than 90% of all trade traveling by sea, and 95% of the world’s international phone and internet traffic

The future of U.S. aviation depends on the Navy’s ability to achieve their vision for defeating tomorrow’s air threats with the support of the ground crews and aviators.

Monkeypox: From pandemic to ‘poxdemic’ BY J.D. HAYWORTH
Y
Glendale Star Columnist
ou needn’t worry about a politically correct naming process for the latest malady that might be headed our way — unless a real-life Dr. Doolittle steps forward to translate and advocate for the animal kingdom. Science, history and personal experience remind us that animal names populate the “pox nomenclature,” most notably chickenpox and cowpox. Upon closer examination, there’s a veritable medical menagerie in the “pox file”: fowl, goat, horse, sheep and swine pox. Last, but certainly not least, there’s monkeypox. No smallpox, this one — as reports indicate — is the first global outbreak of this particular pox. Headlines howl about the alleged threat from the front pages; cable news anchors scowl while reading melodra-
matic scripts with apocalyptic overtones and, of course, the current occupant of the “White House-turned-senior care facility” does what he does best — next to wandering away during outdoor events. Yep, Ol’ Joe Biden, off on a taxpayer-financed, heavily supervised field trip to Asia, took time somewhere across the International Date Line to give us this timeless advice: “…it is something that everybody should be concerned about.” Unsurprisingly, Brussels sprouted the first public health action, because the Belgians waffled under the strain of the media onslaught. CNBC’s headline read, “Belgium becomes the first country to introduce mandatory monkeypox quarantine as global cases rise.” For the record, it should be noted that
MARGULIES’ OPINION – jimmymargulies.com
the Belgians put their 21-day “medical vacay” in place when the World Health Organization (WHO) had confirmed a whopping 92 cases in all of 12 countries. Have we seen more cases since? Of course, primarily because WHO and other public health entities started looking for them. Meantime, the United Kingdom, the nation that gave us the “other Who” — the musical group — initially appeared to maintain “medical clarity.” The United Kingdom, which taught the world how to “keep calm and carry on” during World War II, issued a clear directive to a particular group, political correctness notwithstanding. The Hindustan Times reported that the UK’s “Health Security Agency has warned ‘men who are gay and bisexual’ to be aware of unusual rashes or lesions and contact a doctor without delay in such a case. The warning comes after the United Kingdom reported its ninth monkeypox case since May 6, with the UKHSA confirming recent cases predominantly in gay or bisexual communities, or men who have sex with men.” Don’t look for a major rift in the Anglo-American Alliance, but Joe Biden’s utterance that everyone should be concerned about monkeypox seems at variance with the warnings of medical science. Not to worry, though. If the recent past is any indication, medical science will soon morph into political science. Leading the way in that effort? Dr. Anthony Fauci, who will gladly lecture us about a new pandemic or, as he may call it, a “poxdemic.” Say what you will about Tony Fauci — and many of us have — he is nothing if not a physician and fortune teller. How else to explain his confident prediction less than 10 days before Donald Trump was sworn in? Here’s
what the “diminutive doc” said at the Georgetown University Medical Center on Jan. 12, 2017: “There is no question that there will be a challenge to the coming administration in the arena of infectious diseases. … There will be a surprise outbreak…” Quite a coincidence, except for subsequent reports about research funds finding their way from the pockets of American taxpayers and into labs at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China — the nation where COVID-19 originated. Now comes news that the same Wuhan Institute assembled a monkeypox virus genome, using a method researchers believe might create a “contagious pathogen.” Just a portion of the title of a study published in February tells us all we need to know: “Efficient assembly of a large fragment of monkeypox virus genome.” Ready for another remarkable coincidence? This inaugural global outbreak comes exactly one year after a simulation of a “global pandemic involving an unusual strain of monkeypox,” and here’s the clincher: That simulation, held at an international biosecurity conference in Munich, picked the imaginary start date of mid-May. Almost as if it were planned. Get ready for Anthony Fauci to spring into action, energized to become “Doctor Do-it-All,” advising all sorts of monkey business, limiting our freedoms, affecting the midterm elections. Oh, Dr. Doolittle… how we need you! J.D. Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. House from 1995-2007. He authored and sponsored the Enforcement First Act, legislation that would have mandated enforcement of Federal Immigration Law in the 109th Congress.

id you enjoy this past Memorial Day weekend? The beginning of summer, the remembrance of those who have died in this nation’s wars. Flags flying, memorial services, family gatherings, three-day weekends, bagpipes playing… what better way to start off the summer! That’s right, I said “bagpipes playing,’ because nothing quite evokes such deep emotion and dignity than listening to pipers play at a Memorial Day ceremony. On a side note, where exactly did the bagpipes originate? Scotland? Not even close! It seems these bags of winds have been around for more than 4,000 years, starting in Egypt. Eventually the pipes traveled to Greece and then Rome. The Roman army went on to take the pipes to the countries of the West as they invaded them. The use of the instrument was soon spread throughout Europe. It is believed that the Irish introduced the bagpipes to the Scots, a little-known fact that my husband (who was born and raised in Scotland) strongly disputes. Well, legend has it that an Irishman handed a Scotsman a bagpipe and the rest is history. The Scots have improved the music and perfected the instrument. The bagpipes, with their mournful sound, have a long historical association with U.S. military funerals. The Memorial Day weekend is too important to not go out and pay tribute to our fallen heroes. This holiday represents the larger portrait of Americana; the reminder that freedom is never free and that as far as sacrifices go, some
gave all. I recall going to the veterans cemetery as a child, standing before a sea of tiny flags that waved briskly in the breeze, each standing at attention at the base of a flat gravestone. I would run around and try and read as many names as I could, wondering how they died, figuring out how old the soldier was, reading the words scrawled on the headstones. Round wreaths, looking like sad, little life preservers, were placed on numerous graves. Then there would be the lady who could be seen sitting in a lawn chair on her son’s grave, or the child who would bring hand-drawn pictures to a gravesite, bravely saluting a parent he might never had known. Loved ones gather, children run or skip on grassy knolls, bagpipers and a drummer in the distance playing the solemn hymn “Going Home.” The stark contrast of the hope of a spring day, with flowers blooming, birds singing and flags flying, set against the backdrop of broken hearts and bagpipes playing, is the snapshot of this holiday. Memorial Day weekend reminds us to remember. It causes us to take a moment from the barbecuing with friends and family, the leisurely three-day getaways, to recall those fallen comrades and all that they stood for and left behind. Summer is officially here — ushered in by a very memorable weekend. It helps us put everything in perspective, allows us to ponder the bigger world issues at hand, makes us reflect on our country and appreciate all that we take for granted. It’s good not to forget.

Kennedy embracing mentorship role with D-backs BY JOSHUA WEISBLY
T
Glendale Star Staff Writer
he Arizona Diamondbacks made some moves in the offseason to shore up a bullpen that struggled during the 2021 season. Among them was signing veteran right-handed reliever Ian Kennedy. A familiar face, Kennedy was excited to get the opportunity to be back in the Valley. He pitched for the Snakes from 2010 to 2013 and finished fourth in National League Cy Young voting in 2011. “I’m familiar with the area,” he said. “I have a lot of good memories playing here. There are just a lot of good feels coming back wearing the Diamondbacks logo again.” The league-imposed lockout delayed the pitcher’s signing with a team, but that did not deter the Diamondbacks’ interest in him. “As soon as the lockout ended, they were one of the first teams to call,” Kennedy said. During his first stint with the Diamondbacks, Kennedy was part of a rotation that included another young starter in Daniel Hudson. The two were key pieces to a Diamondbacks team that made the playoffs in 2011 by way of winning the National League West Division title. Kennedy recalls their time on the team fondly. “We just felt like we were two young guys just having fun, and we were,” he said. “We didn’t view it as like we’re the anchors of the staff; we just felt like
Kennedy’s career has been full of stops around Major League Baseball since his departure from the Diamondbacks after the team dealt him to the San Diego Padres during the 2013 season. From there, he logged innings for the Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers, and Philadelphia Phillies. During the 2019 season while he was with the Royals, he was floated the idea of permanently moving to the bullpen. “It’s just something totally different than the previous 10 The Diamondbacks signed right-handed reliever Ian Kennedy. to 12 years of (my (Jill Weisleder/Arizona Diamondbacks) career), or even my part of the staff. whole life of just starting,” Kennedy “I’m still chasing 2011 and that feel- said. “So, it’s totally different, but I’m ing I had going into the playoffs.

of the bullpen. Joining a young group, Kennedy recognizes his responsibility to pass his experience down to the younger players. “To be able to pass on the knowledge of what I’ve done, of what I’ve seen, what I’ve tried, what didn’t work, what did work and being able to watch guys and give that advice,” Kennedy said. “Helping as best as I possibly can is what I really enjoy now.” This new role is something that he is not looking to shy away from. Instead, he is embracing it. “I’m comfortable being in this scenario where I get to help young guys,” Kennedy said. “That doesn’t scare me. I find joy in that.” With the team in a rebuild mode, one of the things Kennedy and the veterans of the roster are looking to instill is a different attitude going into games. “You also have to help guys be winners,” Kennedy said. “If we’re going in there already beat before we get there, you have to help change that mentality.” Going beyond just helping the younger players from a baseball perspective, Kennedy is committed to assisting his teammates in any way needed. “I come in every year thinking of that,” he said. “If I go in there, start focusing on other guys, whether it’s helping with off-the-field stuff or on-thefield things. “Me personally, that’s when I’m like, ‘My personal things will be to the side.’ I want to be the best team I possibly can.”

Tabitha Perry named planning manager by city BY JORDAN ROGERS
of the busiest permitting and land use times in the city’s history,” Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps said. “As Glendale continues to experience exciting and unprecedented growth, she plays an important role on our winning team by earning the trust of our customers and moving projects through in a timely manner.” Perry has worked in a variety of roles since her first day with the city as as-
sociate planner in 2001. From there, she rose to a senior planner, principal planner, assistant planning director and a special assignment. Perry was the city’s special projects executive officer before becoming interim planning administrator in June 2021. “Glendale has been a great organization to work for,” Perry said. “From the time that I started here, the management team has been awesome to work with. Our council has been very engaged in development and being pro development. “There’s just a lot of interest in different businesses wanting to come to Glendale, and I’m just excited about where Glendale was when I started and where we are now and what is to come.” Despite her extensive and decorated career in planning, becoming planning manager wasn’t always the goal for Perry. “I’ve always looked at my career and life as a whole,” she said. “You live in the moment, you do the best that you can do in the position that you’re currently in, and you wait for the right opportunities to present itself. If the opportunity presents itself and if I believed that I was ready for that next
step, then I would walk into it.” Glendale’s planning division administers the general plan and zoning ordinance for new development and redevelopment projects. Planning assists the community in the development of the permit review processes, as well as carrying out plans in strategic locations. Understanding these tasks, Perry is excited to get the ball rolling. “I am most looking forward to helping the planning team really understand the significant role they play in economic development and the overall growth of the city,” she said. If Perry had to do it all over again, she said she wouldn’t change a thing. She is very happy with the way her professional career has played out. “Just the growth opportunity that I was given to be able to be in Glendale, the potential that the organization saw in me, and just the hard work and believing in Glendale. I’m just very happy to see how I have contributed. … Just looking back and seeing a lot of the developments that I touched, that I put the extra work and time in to see those projects manifest itself. “Now seeing the excitement in the team, seeing the hard work and dedication, it just makes it all exciting.”
the Gila River Arena full- and part-time staff trained by leading medical professionals on how to recognize those guests and fans with sensory needs and how to handle a sensory overload situation. Sensory bags, equipped with noise-canceling headphones (provided by Puro Sound Labs), fidget tools, verbal cue cards and weighted lap pads were first made available to all guests at the arena who may feel overwhelmed by the environment starting in the fall
of 2018. Now, these fans can also access the newly installed Ella Dean Sensory Room designed by medical professionals. Located at section 106, the Ella Dean Sensory Room is donated by the Valley’s Witcher family on behalf of their niece, Ella Dean. This comfortable room features bean bag chairs, fidget toys, a bubble wall and a quiet atmosphere for guests to relax if they are experiencing sensory overload. Sensory sensitivities or challenges
with sensory regulation are often experienced by individuals with autism, dementia, PTSD and other similar conditions. One of the major barriers for these individuals is sensitivity to overstimulation and noise, which is an enormous part of the environment in all sports and entertainment venues. With this enhanced certification, Gila River Arena is now better prepared to assist guests with sensory sensitivities so they can have the most comfortable

ADOT uses witty messages to promote driver safety BY JORDAN ROGERS
T
Glendale Star Staff Writer
he freeways around the Valley are plentiful and highly traversed. So, the Arizona Department of Transportation staff threw a little humor into their safety messages on overhead signs. Doug Pacey, the assistant communications director for ADOT, said that despite the witty messages, the purpose behind them is quite serious. “The things we look for are things that are front of mind to people and what they can relate to,” Pacey said. “The whole goal is to get people to think and talk about traffic safety. Everyone knows they should wear their seatbelt, or they shouldn’t speed, or they shouldn’t drive drunk, but all those things keep happening. With ADOT for more than nine years, Pacey said over 90% of crashes are caused by driver behavior — impairment, speeding, recklessness or distraction. “If we can come at something from a little bit of a different angle, and make people raise their eyebrow or think about it, that’s what we want to do,” he

said. “We really want to change driver behavior with these messages.” ADOT is not the first state to utilize messages like these. The Iowa Department of Transportation uses witty messages to encourage safe driving. An ADOT employee saw those at a 2015 conference. He said the response has been overwhelmingly positive. “They like seeing them,” Pacey said. “I think people want to see other people — including themselves — to be reminded to make good decisions behind the wheel, because we’re all on the
roads together. It’s not just an ADOT thing; it’s an all-of-us thing.” To schedule messages, ADOT utilizes an opportunities calendar with a list of holidays, sports events, movie releases and concerts. From there, they brainstorm, come up with three or four ideas, send them through management and choose the one that goes up. They only post at low-priority times, however. “These nontraditional quirky safety messages are scheduled at the lowest priority,” Pacey said. “So, anything else that’s happening,
like an active incident on the highway, or a crash that’s blocking two lanes ahead, or construction-related restrictions or closures, or amber, blue silver alerts, things like that, all of those things take precedence over the PSA messages. The PSA messages that we display are up there when nothing else would be up there.” When asked which of his signs was his favorite, Pacey thought back to the first one ADOT came out with. Named after a 2015 New York Times guacamole recipe that included peas, ADOT’s flagship sign read: “Drinking and driving goes together like peas and guac.” ADOT does its best to keep the public involved with the signs. For the fifth year, ADOT is running a contest for submissions. From the entries, ADOT will choose 15 to 20 finalists and then have a public vote to decide the two to three favorites. Those then run on ADOT’s message boards. “People really enjoy it,” Pacey said. “I think people take a little bit of pride in it. And when I say people, I mean, obviously we do it a lot. But I think the public takes a bit of pride in it.”
Could a wedding ceremony make the union invalid? BY JUDGE GERALD A. WILLIAMS
A
North Valley Justice of the Peace
local priest made international headlines after the Catholic church stated that the baptisms he performed are invalid because he said one word incorrectly. What if something similar happened during a wedding ceremony? What did the priest say? For Christians, baptism is a ceremony with water that symbolizes the cleansing from sin through the forgiveness, grace and love of Jesus Christ. Within the Christian faith, there are differing views concerning how old someone must be to be baptized and whether the person being baptized must be immersed in water. Baptism is somewhat similar to an initiation, but
it is not a prerequisite for church attendance. The priest performed baptisms by saying, “We baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” The liturgical text reads, “I baptize you.” The difference is theologically crucial to the Catholic church. In their view, it is not the “we” of the congregation doing the baptizing but the “I” of Jesus Christ, working through the priest. Perhaps in contrast, there is no such debate over required language during a wedding ceremony. In the one I have memorized, I use familiar language. For example, I ask the groom whether he is willing to “take this woman to be your true law-
ful wedded wife, and do you solemnly promise that you will love, honor and cherish her, in sickness and in health, in prosperity or adversity, for better or worse, forsaking all others, and cleave only unto her, so long as you both shall live?” (Hopefully, he answers “yes.”) However, there is no legal or other requirement for me to use specific language. If you were married in a courthouse, and a judge performed the ceremony, you won’t have to worry whether the person who performed the wedding had the legal authority to do so. But what if your wedding was overlooking the Grand Canyon and the officiant was your cousin’s friend who told you he was a minister but later he said he was only joking? Under Arizona law, you are still married. A.R.S. § 25-111 outlines the stat-
utory requirements for a marriage. It states that a marriage is valid if, “The marriage is solemnized by a person authorized by law to solemnize marriages or by a person purporting to act in such capacity and believed in good faith by at least one of the parties to be so authorized.” As an aside, some states recognize common law marriage. Arizona does not, but it will honor a common law marriage from a state that does. In a SEE WILLIAMS PAGE 16

Lessons learned from a broom and bucket
I
grew up in the 1950s in Phoenix. Like me, most of you baby boomers will remember the Disney movie “Fantasia” made in 1940. I didn’t know what was going on in the film other than it got boring about halfway through. That was about the time the hippos dressed in tutus started dancing. However, I do remember two of the eight compositions and accompanying film parts vividly. I remember the scary ones, “A Night on Bald Mountain,” and especially our subject for today, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.” “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” is based on a poem written by German poet Johann Wolfgang (von) Goethe in 1797. Later, French composer Paul Dukas wrote a music score to Goethe’s poetry in 1897. According to Wikipedia, the poem begins as an old sorcerer departs his workshop, leaving his apprentice with chors to perform. Tired of fetching water by pail, the apprentice enchants a broom to do his work — using magic in which he is not yet fully trained. Unfortunately, the floor is soon flush with water, and the apprentice realizes he cannot stop the broom because he does not know how to stop it. The apprentice desperately splits the broom in two with an ax to stop the out-of-control broom. Then each piece becomes a whole new broom, takes up a pail, and continues fetching water, now at twice the speed. The brooms begin multiplying themselves, and chaos ensues. When all seems lost, the old sorcerer returns and quickly breaks the spell. The poem finishes with the sorcerer’s statement that the master
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist
himself should only call powerful spirits. In the Disney piece, which retains the title “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” Mickey Mouse plays the apprentice, and the story follows Goethe’s original closely, except that the sorcerer (“Yen Sid,” or Disney spelled backward) is stern and angry with his apprentice when he saves him. “Fantasia” popularized Goethe’s story to a worldwide audience. The segment proved so popular that Disney repeated it in its original form in the sequel “Fantasia 2000.” That was a hard lesson for Mickey to learn. Maybe this is a hard lesson for us modern humans to learn also. Power and authority in untrained and undisciplined wrong hands create multiple, never-ending, ever-increasing problems beyond their ability to solve. Mickey had enough knowledge to be dangerous. But unfortunately, Mickey lacked the skill and wisdom to control great power. What caused the problem? Mickey wanted to be someone he wasn’t: Yen Sid, the sorcerer. He was tired of doing things the same way. Most folks are like Mickey. They don’t know what they want, but it’s something different from theirs. The greatest enemy of progress is not stagnation but false progress. The lesson: A bright eye indicates curiosity. A black eye, too much!
One manageable, productive broom and bucket multiplied 1,000 times and turned into unmanageable, utter chaos. The power Mickey released ended up overpowering him. Uncontrollable brooms and buckets would have overcome the whole world if the one who knew what to do and had the wisdom and power didn’t save the day. So, the sorcerer’s last statement is, “The master himself should only call powerful spirits.” Not bad advice, I would say. Watching what is going on in our country and the world today, I am concerned. Have you noticed that the more human logic, reasoning, and the deification of man try to edge God’s wisdom out of our culture, education, government and nation, the more problems it creates? Have you noticed all those unmanageable brooms and buckets made by these so-called leaders of the Mickey ilk multiplying faster than a speeding bullet? That’s not negative. It’s reality. We have heaps of sometimes well-intended Mickeys trying to do what only the master can do. Knowingly or unknowingly, they are Edging God Out rather than Exalting God Only. That’s called E.G.O. Ego-driven activism means keeping your foot on the gas even when it’s time to step on the brake. Advice is seldom welcome, and those who need it most like it least. Though well-intending, fallen human nature can never stop all the problems we humans can create. Long ago, the writer of Psalm Two in the Bible prophetically foresaw this continuous loop saga. “Why the big noise, nations? Why the mean plots, people? Earth leaders push for posi-
tion, demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks, God deniers saying: ‘Let’s get free of God.’” Oops! This rhetoric and way of living create many problems; ask Mickey. The Psalmist says: “So rebel-kings, use your heads; upstart judges, learn your lesson; worship God in an adoring embrace. If you make a run for God, you won’t regret it.” This advice wasn’t critical. It is loving advice for us humans by our loving creator. The trouble with most of us is that we would rather be ruined by praise than saved with criticism. Another analogy for today’s problems is Humpty Dumpty, lying fragmented on the ground after falling off a wall. Have you ever wondered why all the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again? Perhaps it’s because they forgot to ask the king.

Marketing Yourself
You might not feel particularly comfortable in the role of self-promoter, but networking is a critical element of professional success. Here’s how to get ahead in business by marketing yourself. IDENTIFY YOUR USP Everyone has a unique selling point, or USP. It’s a niche factor that makes job candidates (and the products and brands they make) desirable to customers, while also differentiating it all from their competitors. Perhaps you have some specialized training, or a combination of experience and personal interests that stand out in a pile of prospective résumés. Once you’ve figured out your USP, you’re ready for the next steps in marketing yourself. SHARPEN YOUR PROFILE The first impression most people get of any prospective candidate can be found on your résumé and professional social media presence. It’s important to keep your résumé up to date, of
peers, while nurturing connections for future career growth. Decision makers are always looking for smart, involved candidates. When the next position comes open, you’ll be front of mind.
course, but also to freshen the overall look. Everything should be written in a clear, concise way, preferably with two or fewer pages. When it comes to busy job interviewers, less is definitely more. Similarly update the details on your professional social media page, which often serves as a recruiter’s first landing spot. BE ORIGINAL Remember that an active presence on professional social media sites says a lot about your career engagement. Find ways to connect with others on relevant topics, either by sharing links or joining industry discussion groups. Everything you learn there, along with related publications and websites, will help down the road at the interview stage, too. As your confidence builds,
try sharing your own personal takes through short original posts. You’ll be establishing credibility with industry
ALL ABOUT PERSPECTIVE If you remain tentative about taking these steps, try adopting a new perspective on marketing yourself: Sharing expertise with others in your field can be looked at as a helpful action aimed at uplifting others who need career guidance, rather than simply a networking opportunity. Think of yourself as a mentor to others. It might alleviate some of the awkwardness you’re feeling, while also improving your chances of getting hired: Job recruiters are looking for that kind of leadership, too.
