he Valley Hispanic Bomberos handed out scholarships at Fire Station 154 to a pair of Glendale seniors to pave the way in beginning their firefighting careers. Cesar Arvisu, a graduate of Glendale High School, and Arturo Pedrego, a graduate of Independence High School, were each given scholarships in the amount of $1,000. “It’s just, giving back is part of the fire department culture,” said Greg Morales, vice president of the Valley Hispanic Bomberos. “It’s part of our history, it’s part of our tradition as firefighters as part

of this organization, is giving back to the communities where a lot of us come from. “These young men and women in these programs, sometimes they need a little assistance. That’s where our mentorship program tries to guide them. We help them and teach them because they’re the next generation of firefighters.” Established in 1986 by a group of Phoenix firefighters, the Valley Hispanic Bomberos is a nonprofit organization that utilizes a “grass-roots” approach to educate the community. Part of that approach is its mentorship program, which is aimed at helping young men and women achieve a career in the fire service. Students can receive a scholarship
through this program by having goals to become a firefighter, while showing exemplary work ethic and excelling in their programs. “These are the results that you get when you partner with each other and do good things in our community,” Vice Mayor Jamie Aldama said. Arvisu and Pedrego were going through the Fire Science Program offered by the Glendale Union High School District when they were hand-selected by their respective fire science instructors to receive the scholarships. The former seniors see this as a huge honor, and both will use the funds from the
the East Valley. “We really want to thank the (Tempe) City Council for this positive vote,” said Xavier Gutierrez, president and CEO of the Arizona Coyotes. “We want to thank everyone who came out and really showed their support for this project, this organization and the vision. This is step one, and we know that the council made it very clear that this begins that process. “We’re very excited about it tonight to really give thanks and be humble and grateful. We think this project is incredibly compelling. We do believe that it is absolutely the iconic and transformative project for the city of Tempe.”
Aside from the arena, the plans include hotels, offices, retail and residential spaces within the proposed entertainment district. As it stands, the organization’s permanent residence in Tempe is not yet secured, but the “yes” vote does mean a development agreement will be drafted. In addition, it could take several months before the plans are officially approved. “We know that we have more (to do), and we know that we’re going to be part of it,” said Shane Doan, chief hockey development officer and former captain for the Coyotes. “We want to work with the

he Arizona Coyotes have taken the first step toward finding their permanent new home following the city of Glendale’s decision to not renew its contract with the NHL franchise. In September 2021, the team submitted a bid to transform roughly 46 acres of land located near Tempe Town Lake into an arena and entertainment district. Fast forward to June 2, Tempe City Council held a special council meeting for that proposal that ran eight hours. The vote was 5-2 in favor of advancing discussions surrounding the team’s move to

city; we want to do everything we can to answer their questions and answer the people’s questions, too. “We want this to be a building and a development for everybody, (something) that everyone’s proud of. That’s what Xavier and Mr. Meruelo have put so much time and effort into doing.” Alex Meruelo is the majority owner of the Coyotes. Among the speakers at the city council meeting were Coyotes players Nick Schmaltz, Christian Fischer and Clayton Keller. For the Coyotes, the next step is to regroup internally. Gutierrez said they want to “get out into the community and to really hear what their interests are.” Public input from open meetings could go a long way toward advancing the process, and Tempe Mayor Corey Woods said he wanted more time to hear public opinion. “We are extremely pleased that the Tempe City Council has voted to proceed with negotiations on development of the Tempe Entertainment DisBecome a Published Author with Dorrance.

trict,” the Coyotes said in a release. “Having heard all the facts, they have recognized the incredible opportunity that this project presents — not only for the Coyotes but also for the city of Tempe. We look forward to taking the next steps to turn this exciting vision into a reality.” The proposal was not without opposition, however. Staff at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, which would sit roughly 10,000 feet away from the proposed entertainment district, expressed their concerns. “As neighboring cities, Phoenix and Tempe have a longstanding tradition of working together for the benefit of the entire community,” Chad Makovsky, Phoenix director of aviation services, said in a statement. “We understand Tempe’s desire to develop this land east of the airport, and Phoenix Sky Harbor is not in opposition to the Tempe Entertainment District development as a whole. Our concern has been and remains with the proposed residential high rise, which would violate the terms of an inter-
governmental agreement (IGA) between Phoenix and Tempe. “If the residential building is not removed from the project, it jeopardizes the entire agreement. For nearly three decades this agreement has helped reduce the harmful effects of noise for Tempe residents. We are optimistic we can come to a mutually beneficial solution which will ensure compatible land use in the high-noise areas directly under Sky Harbor’s flight paths.” At the end of the day, Gutierrez was pleased with the support the Coyotes as a team and franchise received at the meeting, as many people spoke in favor of the Coyotes’ move to Tempe. “I think that what we heard more than anything was just the wonderful support that we have in this community for everything that we do. We focus on impact, we focus on inclusion, and we focus on innovation, and you heard that resonate today. “Clearly, it was not only fans of us as a hockey team but us as an organization as well. We’re really humbled and grateful about that.”

lendale Summer Band is back for its 56th year, performing weekly in June at the E. Lowell Rogers Amphitheatre at Murphy Park. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Summer Band was unable to perform in 2020 and was limited to a virtual concert in 2021. The comeback concert series will perform each Thursday at 8 p.m. “We know our band members are thrilled to come back together and play,” said Heidi Barriga, Glendale’s special events administrator. “Our entire community looks forward to spending their summer nights outside while enjoying some great tunes.” Summer Band is the longest running community band in the state, and ages of the musicians span multiple generations of about 100 volunteer musicians. Nicole Krug, the communications project manager for Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers, has played the mallets for Summer Band for the last 18 years. “I am thrilled to finally be back and see the other band members,” Krug
said. “We get energy from being together and performing music for those who come out to enjoy our concerts, so not being able to have that interaction was a lonely feeling.” Formed in 1966, the band played at O’Neil Park prior to its move to Murphy Park when the amphitheater was built specifically for the band. Each performance in the five-week concert series has its own theme. June 2’s opening night was dubbed “Together Again,” but four more performances are still slated to take the stage. June 9 will be “A Tribute to Henry Fillmore,” June 16 is “Henry Mancini meets Leroy Anderson,” and June 23 is “Broadway, Big Bang and Beatles!” The final performance on June 30 will be themed “Celebrate America!” to celebrate Independence Day. Each concert is free to the public, and snacks and refreshments will be available for purchase at the venue. It is suggested to pack lawn chairs or blankets for seating. Murphy Park is located at 7010 N. 59th Avenue. For more information, visit glendaleaz.com/events.

scholarship to get their EMT certifications at Glendale Community College. “It’s a big blessing,” Arvisu said. “It’s an honor to receive this scholarship from just great people.” “It means a lot,” Pedrego added. “It gives me the opportunity to not only do this, but further my career.” For Arvisu, he is looking forward to a career in firefighting. He draws similarities between that career path and a family-type atmosphere. “I know that this program was family based, and I really wanted to get into it because I see the relationship that firefighters have with one another as family, as a brotherhood, and that’s something that I wanted to get into,” he said. Pedrego hopes for a career in firefighting as well, but ultimately, he said he wants to get a job working in a hospital.
Morales, who works as a firefighter in Phoenix, said 100% of the money fundraised and donated to the Valley Hispanic Bomberos goes directly into the education system and mentorship program. “You have to have guidance, and the only way that you do that is by being taught and being mentored by firefighters, learning the culture, learning the expectations. Our membership program does exactly that,” he said. “We teach them exactly what they need to do step by step to achieve their goals. “It’s up to them. They have to put in the work and do all the work themselves, but we guide them, we watch them, and the ones that really achieve this and really work hard are the ones that are deserving.” Donations can be made to the Valley Hispanic Bomberos at vhbomberos. org.
Family is something Cesar Arvisu, middle right, and Arturo Pedrego, middle left, both find very important. (Capt. Ashley Losch/Submitted)

AROUND THE BLUHMIN’ TOWN
Remember every body is a bikini body this summer BY JUDY BLUHM
I
Glendale Star Columnist
sn’t summer wonderful? So, are we all ready for donning a swimsuit? Hmm… some of us would rather walk a plank with a gang of blood-thirsty pirates behind us and a bunch of sharks with their jaws wide open waiting for us to jump, before going “public” in a bathing suit. About 80% of American adults over the age of 40 claim that they are “uncomfortable” with the way they look in a swimsuit. A shocking 50% of middle-aged American women say they would rather “have a heart attack” than wear a bathing suit out in public. My grandkids want me to take them to a resort pool and go down the slides.
Hey, I’m a grandma and in no mood for walking around poolside with a hundred folks. If I want to wear a swimsuit, it will be in the privacy of my own backyard. And then again, maybe not. I do need to buy a bathing suit because I am soon making my annual family vacation to San Diego. We all like to splash around in the ocean and maybe grab a boogie board to ride a wave. I hate the thought of having to buy a swimsuit! Have you done this lately? It is intimidating to go to a store and try one on. This is not an exercise for the weak, as only the brave can survive. There, under the unforgiving florescent lights and the horror of three-way mirrors, it is the “time of reckoning” that will make many women physical-
ly ill. Every bulge, ripple, lump, bump, cellulite, flab, tummy and thigh will be completely and grossly exposed. Every potato chip, high-carb treat, piece of pie, and plate of pasta is suddenly staring back at you in a room full or mirrors. It’s more terrifying than a “Fun House.” There is no mercy, no denial — just absolute honesty made worse by the glare of bright lights! A woman in her 60s went bathing suit shopping in a mall with her husband. She went to the dressing room, tried on a swimsuit and when she stood in front of the three-way mirror, she was so horrified that she let out a blood-curdling, “Noooooo.” A sales associate called security. Her husband, who was somewhere else in the store heard his wife’s shrieks and ran into the women’s dressing room to
stop whoever was murdering her. He was met by a woman walking out who hit him with her handbag several times until he was screaming too. Oh, yeah, buying swimsuits can get ugly. Need a bathing suit? No worries. Head for the gym, run that mile, lift those weights, skip dessert, and by October you will look fabulous! Or, go ahead, expose yourself and be proud! Why shouldn’t everyone, all shapes and sizes, have fun this summer? It may take determination to try on a bathing suit and courage to wear it, but we can do this! My solution? I might get a wet suit. It’s the perfect cover up with head-to-toe spandex! See you at the beach! Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local Realtor. Have a comment or a story? Email her at judy@judybluhm.com.
‘Get acquainted’ exercise was like ‘The Twilight Zone’ BY J.D. HAYWORTH
R
Glendale Star Columnist
od Serling must have written this scene, the congressman thought to himself. He and an aide sat in the rooftop suite of a downtown hotel, in serious disrepair. The worn, early ’60s decor only added to the sensation of life inside a “Twilight Zone” episode, compounded outdoors by the monsoonal conditions of a mid-August afternoon. The threatening storm clouds were more like Miami than Phoenix, but the changing hues aloft put to rest any notion that this was occurring in black and white. Seated across the room were visitors from the East — the Far East — though the delegation had come to Ar-
izona from the consulate general of China in Los Angeles. Ostensibly, this was a “get acquainted” exercise, but the congressman understood that the visitors had come as part of a “charm offensive” by the Chinese. Sadly, for his foreign visitors, the congressman saw nothing charming in the Chinese presentation. While he was inclined to give them “an A for effort,” even their intended overture of hospitality was ham-handed. Rather than call room service and prearrange a beverage service for all in attendance, a junior member of the delegation hurriedly brewed coffee in the small, hotel-issued device in the suite. The young diplomat’s hasty decision
to pour the hot beverage into highball glasses only added to the ill-fitting atmosphere of the encounter. So, with steaming hot coffee served in glasses better suited for happy hour, the senior Chinese official began his happy talk. “China desires friendship with the United States,” the consular officer said. “And there is no better way to encourage friendship between our two nations than to build on the trade policy already in place. If the United States Congress extends ‘normal trade relations’ with our nation, it will add to the prosperity and security of both our peoples.” The congressman offered a response couched in diplomatic niceties, but clearly stating his concerns: “Welcome to Arizona; you honor us with your visit. Thanks also for stating your desire for friendship between our na-
tions. In that spirit, let us speak to each other candidly, as friends. Your kind words notwithstanding, it is very difficult to reconcile those comments with some troubling remarks recently made by one of your senior military officers. Specifically, it was Lt. Gen. Xiong Guangkai who said of our nation and our people, ‘…you care a lot more about Los Angeles than Taipei.’ How are we to interpret that, other than as a direct threat?” The senior Chinese diplomat had a ready response: “Congressman, perhaps you have had the experience of being misquoted in the press? I believe that was the case with Gen. Xiong in this instance.” “Besides,” he continued, “because we are headquartered in Los Angeles, I can assure you that my colleagues and SEE HAYWORTH PAGE 12

OPINION
HAYWORTH FROM PAGE 10
I have considerable personal interest in that great city!” Despite the diplomat’s effort at deflection through humor, the conversation did nothing to change the congressman’s mind. When the question of extending “normal trade relations” with communist China came before the full House, he voted no. Fast-forward through two decades and five occupants of the White House. The congressman is now a columnist, but serious questions about U.S.-China relations remain. Of the five men who have occupied the Oval Office through those years, only Donald Trump remained skeptical of trade with China. The other four were pro-China trade, with one, Bill Clinton, “evolving.” Gov. Clinton campaigned as an opponent of trade with China, only to change his mind as president, and campaign finance records explain why. Financial contributions by Chinese citizens to the Clinton-Gore campaign in 1996 led to changes in U.S. campaign finance law but were of no legal consequence to President Clinton.
The Glendale Star Undaunted, the Chinese shifted their strategy. Instead of presidential campaigns, they concentrated on “princelings,” the children of prominent politicians, most notably Hunter Biden, who has been involved in questionable business dealings with Chinese entities. Something has certainly affected Hunter’s dad, the current commander-in-chief. On a recent overseas trip to visit Asian allies, there was no stop in Taiwan, but Joe Biden brought the traveling White House Press Corps to a “full stop” when he said that the United States would intervene militarily if the Chinese attacked Taiwan. White House staffers immediately “walked back” his comments, but Ol’ Joe had taken “strategic ambiguity” to greater levels of contradiction and confusion. Or could that be the elder Biden was making his own “deflection play,” mindful of suspicions that he could be a blackmail target? Meantime, press accounts indicate China may soon move militarily against Taiwan — just as Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year. Two communist nuclear powers going to war

Mexico fans flock to Glendale for Uruguay match BY MARCOS GRANDA MARTINEZ
A
Cronkite News
ttendance at international friendly matches has made soccer headlines recently, especially after Christian Pulisic of the U.S. men’s team called out fans, but support wasn’t a problem at State Farm Stadium June 2 when Mexico and Uruguay met. A crowd of 57,735 showed, many wearing the colors of Mexico, in Uruguay’s 3-0 victory. “We knew what kind of scenario we were going to face tonight because Mexico plays as the home team everywhere they go,” Uruguay coach Diego Alonso said. “They pack stadiums in the World Cup, so of course they do it here in the United States as well. But I don’t think this means the victory was harder, because we were prepared for it.” The match was the 13th time the Mexican National Team has played in Arizona and the ninth at State Farm Stadium. The team’s first stop was in 2002 against Yugoslavia at then-Bank One Ballpark. On June 2, it was a friendly between the de facto home team and Uruguay, and it was “Los Charrúas” who won. The loss marked only the third time “El Tri” has been defeated in
residents. And although not all Hispanics are Mexicans, Mexican apparel far outweighed the amount of blue Uruguay jerseys in the stands. “Obviously, every time we play in the United States, here in Phoenix or, for example, in the last game in Dallas, we always play as the home team,” Mexico coach Gerardo “Tata” Martino said The Mexico national team has a strong following in Arizona. after the game. “Our Here, Mexico fan and Pancho Villas Army member Adrian Za- problem is not on rate watched the team at a restaurant when the team played in what happens off the a World Cup.

ated. “The truth is, it was a beautiful game because of the amount of people there was tonight in the stadium,” Cavani said. “It was very enjoyable.” Despite the loss for Mexico, the history of the “El Tri” in Arizona remains positive. Apart from the three losses, Mexico has won seven games and drawn three in the Valley. The first victory came in a friendly game against Hungary, in which they won 2-0 at Chase Field. Their first official game, which was played at the Cardinals’ home in Glendale, was during a 2009 Gold Cup match. Mexico faced Guadalupe and won 2-0. El Tri would end up winning the entire tournament, defeating the U.S. 5-0 in the final. Another big game in Mexico’s history in Arizona happened during the Copa América Centenario of 2016. That time, they faced Uruguay, Thursday’s rival, but won after dominating 3-1. Their last official game in Arizona occurred in 2021, when they beat Honduras in a Gold Cup game before 64,211 fans. The June 2 attendance wasn’t quite as big, but it was a strong showing on the heels of Pulisic ripping U.S. fans for their poor representation at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio, which drew fewer than 20,000 fans.

10,000 Maniacs are still crazy about the band BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI
K
Glendale Star Executive Editor
eyboardist Dennis Drew describes shows by 10,000 Maniacs as joyous, a little scary and a bit intense. But it all makes for a fun night. “Whether it’s ‘What’s the Matter Here?’, ‘Once a City,’ ‘Love Among the Ruins’ or ‘These are Days,’ the music is generally joyous,” he said. “They’re toe-tappers.” Last year marked the 40th anniversary of 10,000 Maniacs, which plays the Musical Instrument Museum on Friday, June 24. Founded in 1981 in Jamestown, New York, 10,000 Maniacs weathered personnel changes, but four of the six original members remain — Drew, Steven Gustafson, John Lombardo and Jerry Augustyniack. Original lead singer Natalie Merchant left in 1993 to pursue a solo career and was replaced by backup singer Mary Ramsey, who also plays violin and viola. “When we started, we were all in our early 20s,” said Gustafson, the bassist and tour manager. “We were excited as all get out to tour. We thought it was the coolest thing ever because most of us — all the boys in the band — had wanted to be in a band since we saw the Beatles on ‘Ed Sullivan.’ I was 6 and I thought, ‘I want to do that. That looks like fun.’” For Gustafson, playing Buffalo for the first time was a “really cool thing,” as it’s about 90 minutes from Jamestown. From there, they bought a Dodge Tradesman converted school bus, packed their stuff and slept on people’s floors on tour. “We had to play Athens, Georgia,” Gustafson said. “The B-52s, R.E.M., they were from there. I think we were able to maintain our career because we didn’t get too big too fast. It’s a good thing. I think some bands who have that quick rise to millions and millions of records have a hard time following that up.” When Merchant left 10,000 Maniacs, he said, Ramsey fit in quite nicely.
A background singer who appeared on the band’s “MTV Unplugged,” she knew the songs and the players involved. After its final major label record with Geffen, “Love Among the Ruins,” 10,000 Maniacs did an extended tour. Napster arrived and record companies started failing, Gustafson said. “That was the beginning of the collapse,” he added. The show at the MIM will focus on all four decades. “We play songs John Lombardo, guitar; Dennis Drew, keyboard; from every era that Mary Ramsey, lead vocals we have — songs and viola; Jerome Authat are 40 years old, gustyniak, drums; Steve songs that were on Gustafson, bass guitar; our last record that and Jeff Erickson, guitar, are 10,000 Maniacs. we put out in 2013,” (Jeff Fasano/Submitted) Drew said. “I don’t know if we’ll play any of the stuff we’ve been bit more than our folky stuff.

The band, instead, focuses on long weekends. “We’re all friends,” Gustafson said. “We all love each other; same with our crew. We’re 12 people who really enjoy each others’ company. “We can put all that in the background of our lives and make family important. Some of us had other jobs in the 2000s. I was the technical director of the theater at Jamestown Community College. I produced musicals and did lights and sound.” Drew spent 17 years as general manager of WRFA-LP, a low-power nonprofit radio station in Jamestown. At the community college, Gustafson caught a music business course, during which he provided practical advice. “I would tell my students, ‘If you can find a job where, at the end of the day, everybody stood up and applauded, take it,” he said with a laugh. “That’s a good gig. Do that. It’s rewarding. It’s so amazing, so joyous. People who think it’s a glamorous life are wrong. There’s a lot of waiting around. It’s a boring life, except for the hour and a half onstage. Now we get to do two shows in Phoenix at a museum.”

Skydiving isn’t for everyone, and that’s OK
H
ave you ever considered that crises in our lives often could be caused by being in the wrong job or career, the wrong place mentally, or the wrong group of people? Sometimes, God is saying amid the crisis, “Hey, I love you, but now it’s time to get you to the right spot, and that spot is not where you currently are.” In other words, if at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you. Here’s an example of where everyone is in the right spot or the wrong spot. Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs are Italian, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French, and it’s all organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the police are German, the chefs are British, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss, and it’s all organized by the Italians. Hell on earth, for many people, is being in, working in, or trying to be in someone else’s spot rather than your spot. I realize that finding the right spot can be challenging. Think of this. Life was much simpler when apples and blackberries were just fruits. But in today’s world, in countries like America, there is still the opportunity to choose careers or jobs. There’s still a choice between a good attitude and a rotten attitude. There’s still a choice for you between good people and not-so-good people. There is a book written about finding the right spot. It’s called “Who Moved
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist
My Cheese,” and it was a bestseller in its time. Why? Because there’s a lot of cheese being moved around these days! Like a rat in a maze, the location of our cheese — or “success” — has changed. Someone or something moved our cheese. Please don’t panic. It’s there. But we must change directions or locations to find it again. Sometimes we have great success in an area and suddenly it’s gone. Have you heard of the 50-50-90 rule? When you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% chance you will get it wrong. Sound familiar? Could it be that God wants to place us in a better spot? How do we arrive at that spot? We must journey through the death of the old to get to the birth of the new. I’m not saying to be a quitter. Sometimes we must persevere. However, often sound wisdom dictates a change in direction, our career, or whatever. After all, no one reaches a
high position without daring. For most people, it’s harder to let go of the past or present than continue to the future. Someone once said, “What I do, I do very well, and what I don’t do well, I don’t do at all.” Lin Yutang said, “Sometimes it’s more important to discover what one cannot do than what we can do.” There are times when we need to be responsive to circumstances and ask some honest questions to God, ourselves and others about our situation. There is victory in a devoted group of counselors. An Egyptian novelist and Nobel Prize winner said: “You can tell whether a man is clever by his answers. You can tell whether a man is wise by his questions.” Mark Twain once said, “The two greatest days in your life were the day you were born and the day you found out why.” Wanting to be someone else is a waste of who you are. Be yourself. Everyone else is taken. Running from your identity is a race you never win. The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than what you settled for. In other words, find your lane and then drive fast. The Scripture says: “There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a season for every event under heaven. A time to give birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot what is planted; a time to search, and a time to give up as lost.” But after every winter comes a spring!
I love spring, and I know God has a better plan for your life. It’s just that skydiving may not be for you. Here’s some wisdom from my good friend, author Ed Silvoso, about taking your first step to the right spot for you. “The best way to fight the feelings of fear, self-centeredness and despair that are buffeting so many around us is with the exact opposite: faith (let us believe for more, not less), exuberant generosity (let us give more, not less — especially to those that are in deep pain due to significant losses) and a Gibraltar type of hope that declares that God will cause all things to work together for good, even the worst things imaginable.” Silvoso then says, “God is telling us what He told Gideon, ‘In this, your strength, go and save the nation.’ In other words, no matter how small your faith, focus on the future and do something about it, for your sake and others’ sake also.” This is good advice for those of you in college or high school.

Understanding Age Discrimination
As Americans live longer, more productive lives, the topic of age discrimination has moved to the fore. It shouldn’t stand in the way of getting hired.
NOW HIRING
INSIDE THE NUMBERS
CALL TO ADVERTISE 480-898-6465
jobs.phoenix.org 480-898-6465
Nearly half a million workers filed an age-discrimination claim between 1997 and 2020, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In fact, this workplace issue led to some 22 percent of all EEOC claims in 2020 alone. As many as one-third of those surveyed by the AARP said they or someone among friends and family had suffered age discrimination over the previous four-year period. Those numbers are only going to grow. Nearly 20% of the older population was employed or looking for work in 2020, after having made up just 10% of the workforce in 1985. Older workers are expected to increase some 52% by 2030, according to Senior Living.
IT’S THE LAW
More than a third of the American workforce was 50 and older in 2020, the AARP reports. That amounts to more than 16 million people. Almost 15% of those employed, or 6.4 million workers, were 60 and older. They earned protection under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act in 1967, which states that hiring decisions
may not be made solely on the basis of age. The law applies to workers who are 40 and older at any company with 20 or more employees, and also covers decisions relating to being fired, promotions or demotions and layoffs.
GETTING HELP
An AARP survey found that two-thirds of older workers were willing to learn new skills if that helped them rejoin the job market. Yet they’re often overlooked for younger applicants. That led the U.S. House of Representatives to pass the Protect Older Job Applicants Act in 2021, a bill that was more specifically aimed at age discrimination against those who are looking to enter the workforce or make a change in their career. If you’ve applied for a job and feel you were overlooked simply because of your age, contact the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission at 800-669-4000. The National Employment Lawyers Association website also includes a search function, found at https://exchange.
nela.org/memberdirectory/findalawyer, that can help find nearby professional help with your discrimination case.

Ms. McReynolds is highly motivated by finding unique ways for her students to understand new content. She works closely with families to help them discover that they too can help their children be successful in ways they didn’t think possible. Ms. McReynolds loves to work alongside parents to provide them with new ideas and insight into how their children might think and learn. Ms. McReynold's students grow and thrive every day in a classroom that fosters high expectations coupled with compassion and encouragement. Thank you to the Glendale Rotary Club and congratulations to Ms. McReynolds.
