Dick Metz is dedicated to helping veterans. An Air Force retiree, Metz was elected to helm North Glendale’s new American Legion Post 115. The city’s second Legion Post was established to serve the West and Northwest valleys, including ZIP codes 85304, 85306, 85308, 85310 and 85053. It meets at 7 p.m. the third Thursday of each month. The June meeting is 7 p.m. Thursday, June 17, in person and via Zoom starting
at 6:45 p.m. Attendance and reservations are not mandatory. District Cmdr. Bobbie Kimelton will install recently elected and appointed officers. Prospective members are not required to live in Glendale. Members hail from Litchfield Park, Tempe, Surprise and Peoria, among other areas. Previously, Post 115 was in Scottsdale, but Metz said, it “fell by the wayside for lack of participation.” Metz was a member of Post 143, which was in Litchfield Park and then Goodyear. “They wanted to reactivate 115 and
move it to North Glendale,” said Metz, who lives in an unincorporated area near Litchfield Park and Luke Air Force Base. “The post that was in North Glendale had a lot of problems and moved out. In January, I was called and asked if I would be willing to transfer to 115 and take over as commander.” Post 115 meets in a real estate office near 59th Avenue and the Loop 101. Annual dues are $45. “Our primary function is to provide services to the veterans in the area,” Metz SEE LEGION PAGE 8
Crystal Lagoons is the ‘next wave’ of entertainment BY ALEX GALLAGHER Glendale Star Staff Writer
Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers said the much-hyped Crystal Lagoons Island Resort is much more than a water park. It’s a world-class destination. “This is not a water park, this is Crystal Lagoons,” he said at the groundbreaking. “This is going to be second to none in the state. Don’t let anyone tell you this is just a water park.” Weiers was among the dignitaries present for the June 10 event. The resort, which will be set on just over 48 acres of land at 95th Avenue and Cardinals Way, will feature an 11-acre lagoon 8- to 10-feet deep along; a hotel with more than 600 rooms; restaurants and bars; experiential retail stores; a 4-D theater and the first Mattel-themed adventure park.
Although Crystal Lagoons Island Resort is perfect for out-of-town visitors, Weiers said it’s great for locals’ staycations. “There’s going to be a lot of people who won’t be going out of state because they won’t have to in order to come here,” Weiers said. “They won’t have to buy plane tickets, rental cars or worry about hotels in other states. They can just drive into Glendale and get an incredible weekend vacation.” Crystal Lagoons Island Resort began as a vision three years ago, but it became reality in September. “In September of 2020, our city council approved the concept and the necessary documents needed to bring Crystal Lagoons Island Resort to Glendale,” said Yucca District Councilmember Joyce Clark.

She called it “the most significant project in Glendale” since the nowdubbed Gila River Arena opened in 2003, followed by State Farm Stadium in 2006. “This is a trifecta,” Clark said. “If people are coming for football or hockey, now they can come to recreate, swim, shop and enjoy the entertainment at Crystal Lagoons.” Weiers added, “I know that Crystal Lagoons Island Resort will add so much more to the visitor experience, and it’ll make this destination a must stop for visitors as well as a must see for residents.” Weiers and Clark hope the development will influence future projects. “This is destined to have a major impact, not just in Glendale, not just in Arizona but throughout the Southwest,” Clark said. “This is a signature project and I do not doubt that there will be others like it.” Though the project drew early skepticism and had taxpayers anxious, Weiers said he believes it will be beneficial. The resort is projected to create an estimated 1,800 jobs and bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in local revenue over the next 25 years. The resort also projects that, once it is fully operational, it will see 5,000 to 6,000 visitors daily. “It is going to produce a major impact, not just on Westgate, not just on Zanjero apartments, not just on the casino, but it will also provide the impetus for people to finish developing whatever little parcels are left in the area,” Clark said. Crystal Lagoons Island Resort is slated to open in fall 2022. Weiers said he expects it will be finished on time. “Glendale’s team has both a reputation and commitment to helping this project move forward in a timely manner,” Weiers said. Mark Cornell, president of attractions and entertainment for Crystal Lagoons Island Resort, is pleased with the partnership. “When we came upon Glendale, something special happened from the very beginning,” Cornell said. “It ranged from true visionary thinking, the cultivation of concepts and ideas and things just came together. Every great once in a while you find the right team

and the right people. That is the case here.” Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps said the excitement is palpable in the area. “I think we’ve all experienced the notion of something being over-hyped,” Phelps said. “What I’m going to tell you is, if anything, we are underhyping what this project will mean to our community, to the entertainment district and to the city of Glendale.” Crystal Lagoons Island Resort Vice President Eric Cherasia called the destination the “next wave of family entertainment,” as it features the first Mattel Adventure Park. “It’s not often to have an opportunity to create something completely original,” Cornell said. “Mattel has an epic array of evergreen brands that continue to be relevant across multiple platforms and generations.” The main attractions will include a Thomas and Friends indoor theme park that will include the first Thomas electric-battery powered passenger train as well as a Hot Wheels high thrill looping roller coaster.
Other attractions include Hot Wheels go-karts among all skill levels, a family roller coaster, interactive AR racing systems and full-sized Thomas and Friends rides. Crystal Lagoons Island Resort will also offer exclusive Hot Wheels and Thomas and Friends retail stores. “When we began to develop the attraction plan for the Crystal Lagoons Island Resort, we knew we wanted to create something incredibly special,” Cornell said. Mattel will share the iconic toy brand in a new way. “This partnership provides an opportunity for families to experience Mattel’s portfolio of brands in a whole new way for us,” said Megan Pashel, senior manager of global franchise marketing. “There will be something for everyone in the family.” Now that the ground has been broken, the real challenge has begun. “I know that the real work starts now as they move full speed ahead to deliver this project before Glendale hosts the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023,” Weiers said.

Commission works to preserve Glendale’s history BY ALLISON BROWN
Glendale Star Staff Writer
Glendale was founded as a town in 1910 and the municipality’s Historic Preservation Commission ensures the public remembers its past. The next regular meeting is 4 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 23, in conference room 2A, located at Glendale City Hall, 5850 W. Glendale Ave. Its role is to advise the planning commission and the city council on historic preservation issues, including the designation of properties to the Glendale Historic Property Register, and assists in building community support for preservation issues. “(The commission) has several missions,” said Jamsheed Mehta, Glendale’s director of developmental services. “The intent is that as development occurs, we’re cognizant of the identity of what used to be Glendale. The intent is not to just identify, but also preserve
and protect the historic or the archeological resources that we have in the area and make historic preservation an integral part.” Although Glendale was founded in 1910, Glendale Historical Society documents say it had an established community dating back to 1891. The society is a separate entity. The city’s oldest standing structure, built in 1887, is the Adobe Building located at 9802 N. 59th Avenue at Sahuaro Ranch Park. The commission ensures structures like the Adobe Building are not only preserved but recognized as pieces of history. Most recently, the commission accomplished that by awarding plaques to historical buildings and the efforts of those who maintained the original architecture. “Structures or houses that qualified for being recognized as historic structures are going to be given an oppor-
tunity to put up a plaque on the front face of the building in recognition of the fact that they are truly historic and they’ve done everything that is required to maintain that status,” Mehta said. “They basically voluntarily decided that they would like to keep the architecture and the look and feel of the historic structure.” While Glendale has a long history, it still looks toward future growth. The city has seen an exponential growth since the 1960s and now houses around 257,2000 residents, according to recent reports. Historic buildings, while beautiful, are not exactly up to par when it comes to today’s essentials like air conditioning and Wi-Fi. This is understood, though, and no one is asking Arizonans to live without air conditioning. What matters is the basic structure and architecture. “Right now, obviously with so much

change occurring, we need to be flexible in terms of allowing adaptive uses to occur within the structure, while ensuring that the integrity of the exterior still stays historic,” Mehta said. “So, we provide the service of ensuring what’s called a ‘certificate of no effect and appropriateness,’ which encourages people to preserve the exterior while they are making modifications in the interior.” The Historic Preservation Commission has seven council-appointed volunteers who generally serve a two-year term with the option to continue. To be appointed, city residents apply for the commission and then councilmembers can choose one or more representatives from their districts. This ensures the entire city is considered. Aside from aforementioned goals, the commission created awareness of historical structures by, at one time, offering bus tours. The pandemic ceased the tours, but Mehta said the commission is considering restarting them later this year. Preserving these structures provide insight on different ways of life. “There’s a lot of attraction associated with people from the outside who would be interested in seeing what it was like 100 years ago, and there’s so much else to be learned from a historical perspective as to what others went through and what their challenges were,” Mehta said. “It’s not just about the structure. It’s also about the social interactions. The style and culture associated with it. It’s providing an opportunity for others to know about lifestyles, books and challenges at that time.”

Secretary of state, ex-TV anchor join governor race
BY RITHWIK KALALE Cronkite News
Candidates are lining up to become Arizona’s next governor in 2022, when Republican Doug Ducey terms out under state law. Two prominent women joined the race: Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who has gained national prominence defending the state’s 2020 election, wants to be the Democratic candidate, and former news anchor Kari Lake, who resigned from Fox 10 in March, wants to represent the Republican Party. They joined Republican hopefuls Kimberly Yee and Karrin Taylor Robson, and Democrat Marco Lopez. Although Republicans are running on former President Donald Trump’s policies, Hobbs is addressing unfounded allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election repeatedly pushed by Trump and many state Republicans. Hobbs has denounced the so-called au-
dit organized by Arizona state senators to review the 2020 presidential election ballots and told CNN she thinks “this whole thing is a joke.” “In 2020, against all odds, in the middle of a pandemic, we proved that democracy works,” Hobbs said in a video announcing her campaign. “It’s been my job and life’s work to make government work for the people of Arizona. That’s why I’m running.” Among gubernatorial candidates, Hobbs was at the top of the power rankings by OH Predictive Insights, a market research firm in Phoenix, even before officially announcing her candidacy. The rankings are based on an online survey of 935 registered Arizona voters conducted the first week of May. The survey presented respondents with 40 notable Arizonans to rate, regardless of whether they are actually running for office. In her campaign announcement, Hobbs noted her efforts to expand
Medicaid for seniors and implement the Arizona Opioid Epidemic Act in 2018, which offered increased access to treatment and opioid overdose countermeasures, such as Naloxone. As governor, Hobbs promised she would protect survivors of abuse, rebuild the post-COVID-19 economy, invest in health care and education and “ensure that your race, gender or ZIP code does not dictate your destiny.” Lake recently announced her political ambitions. In her campaign video, Lake pledged to tackle homelessness, synthetic drug use, Arizona’s “out of control border” and other issues if elected. “I’ve earned the trust of Arizonans across our state by bringing the real story into your living room night after night,” she said, calling for an “Arizona First” approach to governance, mimicking Trump’s “America First” motto. “Arizona history suggests that Arizona voters look kindly on television broadcasters,” said Jason Rose, a political consultant who has worked for Ducey, former Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon and former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth. The “history” Rose is referring to is Hayworth, who was a local sports reporter for the CBS affiliate in Phoenix before serving in Congress from 1995 to 2007, representing the East Valley. But there are different types of star power and name recognition when it comes to the ballot box in Arizona: Hayworth wasn’t able to unseat Sen. John McCain in the 2010 primary. Notably, in OH Predictive Insights’ power rankings, Jack McCain, son of former Sen. John McCain, followed Hobbs at second place on the list. He has not announced a run for any office. Lake resonates “with the base of a Republican Party still very much defined by former President Donald Trump,” published reports said, noting that she has recently attended events sponsored by groups who contend the 2020 election was stolen from Trump. Lake isn’t the only Republican to use an “Arizona First” tagline. Yee, who is state treasurer and the first Asian American to be elected to a
statewide office in Arizona, promised to focus on border control and security in a video released May 17. “Washington is simply not going to protect Arizona,” she said in the video, adding D.C. is “refusing to enforce the law, opening our state to drug cartels, violence and human traffickers.” Yee, who also praised Trump’s economic policies and attacked the “corrupt press and socialist ideals,” is ranked third in OH Predictive Insights’ power rankings. Lopez, former mayor of Nogales, announced his candidacy for governor in March, making him the first Democrat to enter the race. His campaign video primarily focused on rebuilding Arizona’s economy, and criticizing policies implemented by Ducey, who was first elected in 2014. “State leaders failed us as coronavirus cost us lives and hammered our economy,” he said in the video. “And our Legislature is run by extremists promoting bizarre conspiracy theories instead of actually getting things done for you, the people.” Lopez promised more investment in education, more technology and manufacturing jobs and greater access to health care for Arizonans. Like Yee, Lopez mentioned growing up as a child of immigrants and small business owners. He also put emphasis on his work as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection chief of staff during the Obama administration. Robson, a member of the Arizona Board of Regents, also announced her candidacy for governor in midMay, promising to fight “the radical Biden-Harris agenda.” In her campaign video, Robson pledged to travel the state and hear from Arizona communities about their needs. The Board of Regents oversees the three state universities of Arizona. Robson has served on the board since 2017. On the OH Predictive Insights power ranking, Robson came in 18th and Lopez came in 20th. - Cronkite News reporter Tina Giuliano contributed to this report.

Salvation Army activates disaster services
BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services activated 11 heat relief stations throughout the Valley during an excessive heat warning issued by the National Weather Service through June 18. “Anyone can come into a Salvation Army location for indoor cooling and hydration during regular operating hours, but when the National Weather Service issues an excessive heat warning, The Salvation Army considers it a disaster situation,” said Major David Yardley, The Salvation Army Metro Phoenix program coordinator. “Our EDS team ‘activates’ our heat relief stations to another level, with extra signage directing people to each location, with some locations having canopies outside to give water and other available heat relief items to passersby. Salvation Army officers and staff will also take water to those in need around their neighborhoods.” The following heat relief stations will be “activated” from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day through June 18 and on any day the National Weather Service issues an excessive heat warning during the year, including weekends (excluding federal holidays): • Avondale: Estrella Mountain Corps Community Center, 11 N. Third Avenue
• Glendale: Glendale Corps Community Center, 6010 W. Northern A mobile hydration unit will also be dispatched from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. through June 18 to targeted portions of the Valley that have been identified as homeless encampments and areas with high homeless populations. To maximize safety, The Salvation Army’s heat relief efforts — which averages nearly 1,500 bottles of water given out a day during an excessive heat warning — follow recommended COVID-19 guidelines from local, state and federal health officials. “We wish to thank key partners APS, DBP and Ford for the significant donations of funding and water they’ve provided this year,” Yardley said. “Generous community support gives The Salvation Army the means to provide this life-saving service.” To donate to help neighbors in need facing the summer heat, visit SalvationArmyPhoenix.org or text HEAT to 51555. To volunteer at a heat relief station, contact your local Salvation Army or call 602-267-4100. The Salvation Army EDS is part of the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Heat Relief Regional Network, the goal of which is to provide resources for vulnerable people and help prevent heat-associated deaths.

Glendale Police arrest stepfather for tying up son BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Glendale Police arrested 37-year-old Mto Assa for felony offenses of child abuse, aggravated assault and unlawful imprisonment. According to Glendale Police, Assa restrained his 14-year-old stepson by binding his hands and feet with ropes and then physically assaulted him causing visible injuries. The allegations came to light on June 8, just before 10:30 p.m., near 4400 W. Ocotillo Road, when the teenage boy fled to a neighbor’s apartment and asked for help. His hands and feet were still bound with ropes. The victim said his stepfather tied his hands behind his back and bound his ankles, then connected the ropes together. The boy stated he was struck and physically assaulted. He said his younger sister freed one of his feet so he could
run for help. She attempted to release his wrists, but the ropes were too tight. The neighbor said they cut the ropes from the boy’s wrists while waiting Mto Assa was arrested for felony offenses. (Phofor officers. to courtesy of Glendale The mothPolice) er had filed a police report on the teen as a runaway on June 8. The boy returned home and said, during the assault, his stepfather told him he would keep him tied up for the next year. Assa admitted to detectives that he bound the boy, but denied the assaults. The forensic nurse recorded injuries consistent with the allegations made by the teen.
Midwestern University earns ‘AA Stable’ rating
BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Midwestern University recently received an upgraded financial rating from Fitch Ratings, one of the top independent credit agencies in the United States. Fitch elevated the university’s rating from “AA- Positive” to “AA Stable” and rated the university’s financial outlook as “stable.” According to the Fitch report, the boost in the overall financial rating is the result of Midwestern’s ongoing enrollment growth, which has continued throughout the pandemic, as well as its sound fiscal management over the past five years. “An upgrade in the Fitch rating is very significant and underscores Midwestern University’s careful financial planning and forward-thinking management. Our newest rating is one of the highest among our peer organizations and reflects a strong, stable organization. I appreciate
the team effort of our faculty and staff to carefully manage our budgets, work hard to educate our students and remain dedicated to our mission of excellence,” said Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Midwestern University. The report also cites the strong demand for the academic programs offered by the university, conscientious capital investments and the university’s robust balance sheet metrics as attributes responsible for the upgraded rating. Fitch is an independent agency that assesses the financial strength of companies and government entities and evaluates the institution’s creditworthiness. The AA Stable rating earned by Midwestern University is the second-highest possible rating and signals a strong and stable outlook for the university. Info: 623-572-3215, midwestern.edu

Landlords are the forgotten pandemic heroes BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
The COVID-19 pandemic has been full of quiet heroism, men and women sacrificing to keep others healthy and safe. Doctors, nurses, firefighters, paramedics, cops and grocery workers have all done amazing work and have all been recognized for their efforts. But what about the owners of apartment complexes? The moms and pops who own duplexes or single-family rental homes? We have heard not a peep of praise about them despite their massive sacrifice over the past 16 months, a time period when they have been forced by various state and federal eviction moratorium orders to provide free rent to thousands of residents across Arizona. I think it’s high time we do something many people find unthinkable: Say something nice about the good actors often known derisively as “landlords.” Full disclosure: In my day job as a public relations consultant, one of my
clients is the Arizona Multihousing Association, a trade association representing the apartment industry. So, yes, I am predisposed to say kind things about property owners. That doesn’t change the fact that, beginning in March 2020, the state and then the feds voided more than one million leases in Arizona, suspending the private property rights not only of big companies that own apartments but retirees supplementing their Social Security with a rental property or two. You think it’s tough having company stay a few nights too long? Imagine having residents stay 16 months with no rent while you pay the mortgage, property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. We didn’t force grocery stores to give away free food or gas stations to pass out free unleaded. But enforce free rent for a year-plus? Yes, we did. One of the saddest parts of this story is the massive and underreported government snafu that has accompanied the eviction moratorium.
To date, Arizona at the state, county, city and town level has received about $1 billion in federal eviction relief funding. Thus far, 16 months into the pandemic, the agencies charged with distributing these funds have managed to give out about $134 million — or 13 cents of every relief dollar. We can only wish government revenuers would be that inefficient when it comes to collecting our tax dollars. These eviction relief programs, beset by red tape and overly complicated applications, have backlogs thousands of applications long. That’s tragic, because it never should have been this difficult to give away free money. Common sense should have dictated that everyone who qualified for the eviction moratorium – in other words every renter who lost work or suffered a pandemic-induced salary cut – also qualified for relief dollars. End of story. That ship has sailed, however. And the Centers for Disease Control order suspending evictions is set to lapse on June 30. If it’s not extended again, tenant advocates say there will be a rush to the courthouse and a wave of
evictions. No property owners I’ve met look forward to evicting people, especially anyone who has struggled during the last year-plus that was 2020 and early 2021. At the same time, just as there are “slumlords” who give responsible property owners a bad name, there are also “bad apple” residents who used the moratorium as a vacation from responsibility. They failed to pursue relief and went silent on the property manager. Instead of taking their stimulus checks or enhanced unemployment benefits and spending them on basics like rent, they decided responsibility could wait. Meanwhile, the back rent tab continues to rise. So, thousands of property owners waited. For 16 months. Silently, amid frustration, the threat of bankruptcy and without an iota of praise for their efforts. It seems like one kind column is the least we can do, no?

The males “sing” by flexing their tymbals, which are drum-like organs in their abdomens. Small muscles rapidly pull the tymbals in and out, the sound intensified by their mostly hollow abdomens. It’s one beautiful mating call.
When cicadas are burrowed underground, what do they do? Well, it seems they are tunneling and feeding, not really hibernating. Once they emerge as nymphs, they shed the exoskeleton, their wings inflate, and they can begin their brief and loud adult life.

First, you gather up a bunch of cicadas, throw them in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. Then fry them up in a pan with some olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Get your dips ready because

This ‘cicadas invasion’ is a battle worth fighting BY JUDY BLUHM
Glendale Star Columnist
Seventeen long years they have been waiting. Now, trillions of cicadas making a racket as loud as lawnmowers have emerged from their slumber throughout the Midwest and Eastern states. The noisy little critters are considered a major nuisance because they amass in huge numbers in parks, wooded areas, neighborhoods and just about everywhere. They fly, land and crawl on trees, pets, cars and houses. People have claimed that the “cicadas invasion”

OPINION
Justice for all? BY J.D. HAYWORTH
Glendale Star Columnist
“Equal justice under law,” reads the inscription carved above the columns on the magnificent building that houses the Supreme Court of the United States. Business consultants who earn their living devising new concepts for “leadership in commerce,” (a dubious exercise, but a triumph of marketing) might call those words a “mission statement.” That would be wrong. Those four words encapsulate the essence of a republic, and we confuse them at our own peril. You may have been taught that the words “republic” and “democracy” are interchangeable. Again, that would be wrong. Ours is a constitutional republic — a form of government based upon the edicts enumerated in our Constitution — the supreme law of our land. The 10th Amendment to the Constitution further elaborates: “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.” In other words, our Constitution is a document of limited and enumerated powers, based upon law. That same Constitution establishes a framework for self-government, based not upon majority rule, but the supremacy of law, equally applied to all: the essence of justice. Small wonder then, that Benjamin Franklin didn’t hesitate when asked by a Philadelphia socialite, “Dr. Franklin, what form of government have you given us?” “A republic, if you can keep it.” He knew how difficult that would be, and he also knew the dangers inherent in a democracy, because the printer-inventor-founder defined it in this way: “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what they are going to have for lunch.” Dr. Franklin’s simple and powerful definition of democracy exposes the “tyranny of the majority” — and why confusing the term “republic” with “democracy” is dangerous. Sadly, such confusion is commonplace.
The Glendale Star
Even more tragically, we have seen news coverage — or more accurately, elitist lectures disguised as news — sow seeds of more confusion. In less than six months, the Biden Administration has opened our borders, empowered our enemies, dismantled our domestic energy production, dismissed concerns about ballot security, prioritized illegal aliens over citizens and instituted a policy of runaway spending, encouraging the Federal Reserve to just keep printing money, with the expansive inflation that inevitably accompanies that action. And that’s not all. Transforming the military into an institution of uniform political ideology instead of a fighting force is also underway; likewise, the effort to legitimize male athletes “in transition” dominating biological females in women’s athletic competition. What else? Plenty. All done by executive action. Where are the Republicans? Well, they’re there, and some are putting up a fight — though the “alphabet networks,” their cable cousins, and the major newspapers ignore their efforts. Some conservatives seek solace by looking to the political calendar, and the midterm elections scheduled for November of next year. Still others look to the judiciary and the three conservative Supreme Court Justices that were installed during the Trump Administration. But the wheels of justice continue to turn — slowly — if at all. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton, James Comey and John Brennan all enjoy freedom — despite suspicions that each of them have been involved in illegal activities. Can we keep our Republic? It may be easier to change the Supreme Court inscription: “Special justice for some.” And that would be wrong. J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10 Phoenix from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 1995-2007.

Arizona Cardinals sign Williams and Moore BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
The Arizona Cardinals Football Club signed defensive lineman Xavier Williams to a one-year contract and wide receiver Rondale Moore to a four-year contract. In according with club policy, terms were not disclosed. Moore was the team’s second-round selection in the 2021 NFL draft. The Cardinals now have all seven members of their 2021 NFL draft class under contract. Williams (6-foot-2, 309) returns to the Cardinals after playing 23 games (two starts) in three seasons (2015 to 2017) with the team after entering
the league as an undrafted rookie free agent from Northern Iowa in 2015. He spent two seasons (2018 to 2019) with the Chiefs before playing with New England and Cincinnati last season. In his career, the 29-year-old Williams has played in 56 games (nine starts) and had 107 tackles (65 solo), four sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and four tackles for loss. Following his three years with the Cardinals, Williams signed with the Chiefs as a free agent in 2018. He start-
ed last year with Patriots and played in one game before appearing in 11 contests (three starts) with the Bengals. Williams also played in four postseason games during his tenure with the Chiefs, including winning Super Bowl LIV following the 2019 season. Moore (5-foot7, 181) left Purdue with 1,915 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns on 178 receptions to go along with 248 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 30 carries. He also returned 42 kickoffs for 813 yards and 17 punts for 118 yards during his time
with the Boilermakers. Moore averaged 8.9 receptions and 95.8 receiving yards per game (20 games) during his career. As a true freshman in 2018, he had 114 receptions for 1,258 yards and 12 touchdowns, while adding 213 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries. Moore also returned 13 kickoffs for 662 yards and 12 punts for 82 yards. He won the Paul Hornung Award as the nation’s most versatile player and became the first true freshman in Big Ten history to earn consensus All-American honors. A New Albany, Indiana, native, Moore graduated from Purdue in 2.5 years after taking 27 credit hours during the 2020 fall semester.

Greek café finds new life after the pandemic BY ALEX GALLAGHER Glendale Star Staff Writer
Westgate Entertainment District’s Opa Life Greek Café saw the pandemic’s ugly side. Manager Alan Krier watched the staff whittle down to one cook and one other employee. Together, they white knuckled it through the pandemic. “We had one and a half months of no in-house services, and we suffered a bit,” Krier said. “We were very fortunate to have a lot of things in place already that a lot of sit-down restaurants didn’t have, like to-go orders, online ordering and delivery platforms.” The trio saw light at the end of the tunnel when Opa Life Greek Café received a PPP loan. Since Opa Life Greek Café reopened last summer, business has been nonstop, Krier said. The last three months have had record profits. As Westgate hosts events like concerts, Cardinals football and Coyotes hockey, Krier anticipates larger crowds. When Opa Life opened its doors in 2013, the staff wanted the restaurant to be a destination, not
just somewhere to dine before or after events. The Greek-inspired restaurant has the standard fare — pita, wraps, kebabs and soup. “Opatizers” include flaming saganaki, which is hard to find in the Valley. (For those not in the know, it’s melted fine Greek cheese enhanced with Ouzo.) Opa Life is known for its burg- Opa Life Greek Café has tradiers and sandwiches, tional, Greek-style gyros, pita, which include the wraps, kebabs and soup, but also has a large variety of Opa Greek burger, itother foods (and drinks) to try. which has Angus (Photos courtesy of Opa Life) beef, gyro slices, feta, cucumbers, Roma tomatoes and Tzatziki; and the Opa salmon sandwich with Alaskan salmon fillet, lettuce, Roma tomato, onions and either lemon Dijon or chipotle mayo. A full bar satisfies imbibers, while nonalcoholic fruit smoothies and Italian sodas fulfill a need, too. “Being a Greek restaurant, people always want to try the gyro, but we also have some amazing chicken skewers,” Krier said. Krier has a restaurant background. He and his business partner took over the My Big Fat Greek restaurants, all of which were inspired by the 2002 film “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.” “He had really bought into the ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ concept and he asked me to come help him with that concept,” Krier said. “From there, we decided to start something new that was a bit more streamlined and fast-casual, so that was how we started Opa Life.”

The Zeppelin IV thrives on live ‘experience’ BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Dan Pettit of The Zeppelin IV calls his band “a little insane.” The Valley-based Led Zeppelin tribute act mirrors the classic rock legends by playing three- to four-hour shows in venues around town. “We do a live ‘experience,’” said Pettit, a Glendale resident who graduated from Mountain View High School in Mesa. “We really try hard to give you an example of what it would have been like to see Led Zeppelin live. We’ve studied them, listened to them and watched live performances. What you heard on the album is not what you saw in concert.” The band next plays in the area from 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday, June 26, at Dillon’s Bayou at Lake Pleasant. “No two shows are ever the same,” he said. “We have a virtuoso guitar player, Nic Sterling, who was a kid phenom. He released his first album at 10. “With Zeppelin, you can just let him go crazy. He can just jam and we follow along. That’s what the real Led Zeppelin did. Jimmy Page might be on a tear, riffing or doing whatever. They would just wait for him to come back around.” Pettit said The Zeppelin IV chose the perfect band to emulate because the catalog is so robust with well-known songs. “It’s fun,” Pettit said. “We’ll play four hours and still have somebody come up to us and say we didn’t play ‘The Rover’ or this or that. I make a little joke about that at shows. ‘If we did every song fans wanted to hear, we’d be here until tomorrow.’” Pettit called Led Zeppelin the ultimate jam band like the Grateful Dead or Phish. “We don’t really take breaks,” he said. “Our ‘breaks’ are the songs. Like with ‘Moby Dick,’ that’s when I get to run off stage, while the drummer is doing the drum solo.”
With other songs, The Zeppelin IV has acoustic jams that allow the drummer to step aside. Pettit is the Robert Plant for The Zeppelin IV. He joined an already-established band, who, subsequently changed its name to The Zeppelin IV. Led Zeppelin has been a longtime influence on Pettit and, he said, the Valley. “Our radio here is very Zeppelin influenced,” Pettit said. “They played a lot of Zeppelin on the radio here in the Valley. I had all of the albums and Robert Plant was one of my go-to voices to listen to and learn how to sing. Coincidentally, I happen to have blond hair and I think most singers are influenced by Robert Plant in some way.” Besides Sterling and Pettit, The Zeppelin IV includes Nick Marshall on bass, keyboards, mandolin and guitars; and Filiberto Lopez, drummer. Pettit said each bandmember would agree that the Zeppelin IV shows are gratifying. “By the end of the night, you’re tired,” Pettit said. “It makes you feel like you really accomplished something, just feeding off the crowd and the people. “You don’t feel tired until you loaded that last piece of equipment into the truck. Until then, it’s just so much fun. The music is fun and it’s never the same.”

Horror flick revels in Arizona settings BY ASHLYN ROBINETTE Glendale Star Staff Writer
A new Phoenix production company hopes its debut horror anthology sheds light on all that the Arizona film community has to offer. After securing a distribution deal with Virgil Films & Entertainment, Falling Flame Pictures released “Scare Us,” on virtual cinema last month with an upcoming VOD and DVD release June 29. “We wanted to make a feature film that was very community driven and community based to showcase the talents that Arizona can bring to the table,” said Ryan Henry Johnston, “Scare Us” producer, co-writer and co-director. The synopsis: “A chilling horror anthology comprising five short stories, penned by an unlikely group of aspiring writers, in Sugarton — a small town plagued by the apparent return of an infamous serial killer, dubbed ‘Cutthroat.’ “They’ve come to share their scary stories (with each other and the bookstore owner, Peter, who leads the group), but soon discover they’ve become the stars of a sick killer’s own twisted tale.” “Scare Us” was produced by Jason Wiechert of Glendale, Robyn Sturgis of Scottsdale and Ryan Henry Johnston former Phoenix resident. Johnston additionally directed and wrote segments of “Scare Us,” with directors Charlotte Lilt of Glendale, Carl Jensen IV of Flagstaff, Tom J. McCoy of Mesa and Jordan Pillar of Phoenix. Also participating was Ryan Kjolberg, an Anthem resident and Boulder High School graduate. Lilt also stars in the fright flick alongside Tom Sandoval (“Vanderpump Rules”) of Los Angeles, Ethan Drew of Scottsdale, Michael Alvarez of Glendale and Michelle Palermo of Gilbert. “‘Scare Us’ is a testament to what the Phoenix film industry family can do,” Palermo said. Except for Jeff Hare, Falling Flame Pictures chief marketing officer, all other lead executives are from the Valley. Wiechert and Lilt are co-founders

with Wiechert serving as chief executive officer and Lilt as chief creative officer. Ed Riccio of Chandler is executive vice president. Shaun Clark, of Mesa, is chief financial officer. Rob Ellman, of Phoenix, is the legal and creative consultant. These executives are all “Scare Us” executive producers as well. “We want to not only bolster Arizona film narratives, but also bring Hollywood to Arizona through our connections in Los Angeles,” Wiechert said. Wiechert and Lilt met on the set of one of Johnston’s short films in 2015 and eventually married in 2019. They say they created Falling Flame Pictures to have more creative control over their stories. “Magic happens when you really believe in things,” Wiechert said. “The cast and crew really believed in this, and it shows in the end product.” The concept of making a horror anthology was born around 2016, Johnston said. Johnston and Wiechert said they spoke at length about creating an anthology so that small Arizona filmmakers could work together to make one movie. Originally, the film focused on stories told around a campfire, Johnston said. However, the producers wanted
to make adult-driven stories. Each director brought three pitches to the table for horror-style films and the best ideas were chosen. Short films were then written around July and August 2019, Johnston said. “We thought that we could take six up-and-coming directors who may not have had an opportunity to be a part of a larger full feature film and allow each of them to focus on a specific segment of the overall anthology story,” Wiechert said. “Each director wrote and directed their own segments within the overall story and the main story cohesively ties everything together nicely.” Principal photography began in October 2019, Wiechert said. Luckily, filming wrapped in mid-December, before the pandemic hit. They spent January to June 2020 in virtual post-production. Because a lot of film productions were shut down due to the pandemic, the “Scare Us” team could dedicate more time to it, Johnston said. “This project was a labor of love, and everyone involved brought 110%,” Johnston said. They chose the horror genre because of its marketability and success, Johnston said. Johnston cited “It Follows,” “Paranormal Activity” and
“The Blair Witch Project” as low-budget independent horror films with little star power. “Myself and Falling Flame wanted to make something that didn’t feel low-budget and looked at it as a challenge,” said Johnston, who filmed the entire movie in Arizona. “We wanted an opportunity to showcase what Arizona could do and we knew that we had the team and the talent to make that happen.” “Scare Us” is set in a bookstore, so finding the perfect location for it was crucial.

Books on 7th Avenue, they knew that it was the one. The mom-and-pop used bookstore has been in business for over 30 years and has more than 200,000 titles in stock, according to its website. “We wanted to use a location that had a lot of history and little quirks to it,” Wiechert said. The store’s owner, Mary Anne Ramirez, was impressed by Johnston and Wiechert’s enthusiasm for their project. “The great thing about shooting in Arizona is that the locals are very interested in lending a helping hand to make something special, whereas, if you’re in Los Angeles, they’ve seen it all,” Sturgis said. “Here, people are genuinely interested in what is happening and they want to know how to be involved.” Another noteworthy location is Parks in the Pines General Store. Built in 1906, Parks in the Pines General Store is more than 100 years old and predates Route 66, according to its website. It is located on Old Route 66 and North Spring Valley Road in Parks. Because it is nestled among the largest Ponderosa Pine forest in the United States, the store creates a very secluded, eerie feeling at night, according to Johnston. This made it an ideal location to use as a gas station for the “Dead Ringer” film segment. “We wanted something secluded and wanted a film made in homage to ’80s-style creature features,” Johnston said. “It was great to have that piece of history. It felt very authentic and real to the story.” The entire opening sequence of “Scare Us” and most exterior shots were filmed in Williams, Wiechert said. This location was chosen to create a small town feel for Sugarton. The lead characters in “Scare Us” wrote scary stories to share with their

writers’ group, which became separate segments of the film. The five segments of “Scare Us” are “Night Haul,” “Untethered,” “Dead Ringer,” “The Resting” and “After Hours.” Hare’s idea was to have the main characters read their stories and play their fictional characters. This was the first time any of the actors had to play two characters within the same film. Palermo plays Naomi in the main story and Cameron in the “Night Haul” segment. Naomi is an exhausted mother and mistreated wife who feels trapped in her marriage and has builtup anger, Palermo said. She fears what would happen if she were to leave her situation and it shows in her story. “The characters living out their alter egos in writing will really resonate with the audience,” Palermo said. “Audiences will relate to the struggles the characters feed into.” In the next segment, “Untethered,” Drew plays Mikey in the main story and Daniel in the short story. Mikey is mature for his age and enjoys hanging out with the adult writers because they see him as equal, Drew said. Mikey finds sharing his stories very meaningful because he doesn’t get much attention from home. The bookstore gives him a voice. Mikey’s father is the town sheriff, while his mother is a nurse. Mikey creates Daniel to illustrate the level of detachment he feels from his family. Drew said he was immediately excited about “Scare Us” because the script gave him chills. “It was one of the best experiences of my entire life,” he said. “There was a huge sense of community, and we all became a family by the time filming was done. I remember having so many laughs with everyone.” The third story of “Scare Us” is told by Diego in the main story, played by Alvarez. Diego is a contrived man with a tough guy front, who doesn’t fit in

with the rest of Sugarton’s inhabitants, Alvarez said. In his “Dead Ringer” story, Diego creates Will, who personifies Diego’s fear of leaving the small town and magnifies his worries that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Alvarez said he researched case studies on people with anxiety. This was Alvarez’s first horror film, and he was up for the challenge. “‘Scare Us’ is a thrill ride and an homage to all the horror genres that came before us,” Alvarez said. Next, Lilt plays Claire in the main story and Anne in “The Resting” segment. Lilt describes Claire as a high-energy, bubbly and curious character while Anne is more typical. Claire’s story exemplifies her fears that if she lets herself be like anyone else then she may lose herself, Lilt said. In “The Resting” segment, Lilt acted with Wiechert. Lilt said it was enjoyable to work with her husband, and the entire cast was enjoyable, too. “We all just kind of mesh organically,” Lilt said. “Nothing had to be forced and you can feel it. When you watch it,
19
you’ll see.” The final segment of “Scare Us” is “After Hours,” which is told by Sandoval’s character, Peter. Peter is the bookstore owner and leader of the writers’ group who assigned the scary stories. Wiechert hopes fans of Sandoval and “Vanderpump Rules” will watch “Scare Us” to see him in a different role. Everyone from “Scare Us” still keeps in touch, Lilt said. When it was safe, Hare said they rented the Harkins Theatres at Tempe Marketplace to have a cast and crew screening. Riccio wants to do a sequel to “Scare Us,” but said they are gauging audience response first. “I’m hoping that this helps the government in Arizona realize the potential and benefits there are to having films here in the Valley and in the state and what it can bring to the economy,” Palermo said.

Barro’s, Pepsi partner for pediatric cancer fund BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Family-owned Barro’s Pizza and Pepsi are teaming up for the sixth year this June to raise money for children and families affected by pediatric cancer. Until June 30, all Barro’s Pizza locations will donate proceeds, up to $40,000, from the sale of any lunch special to the nonprofit Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children. Locations include: 16950 N. 51st Avenue, Suite 1, Glendale; 13971 N. 59th Avenue, Glendale; and 20165 N. 67th Avenue, Glendale. “Our passion is helping our community,” said Bruce Barro, co-owner of Barro’s Pizza. “The Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children is such an incredible organization, so each year we look forward to helping raise money for the families they support. These events are the very core of who we are as a family, and it makes everything we do worthwhile.”
The Scottsdale-based foundation was founded in 2013 by Chrisie Funari after she lost her young daughter, Ava, to cancer. Funari traveled the country seeking the best treatments and care for her daughter. Knowing the struggle and the toll it takes on the family, Funari started the organization to empower families by ensuring they have a secure place to live, access to medical treatment and continued support. “Barro’s Pizza is an important partner of Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children,” Funari said. “We are so grateful to have a local business like Barro’s Pizza understand and
support our mission each and every year. The money donated will help cover expenses associated with a child’s cancer diagnosis, provide K9 therapy and counseling, birthday gifts, art classes and overall emotional and financial support to Arizona families. Barro’s Pizza and support from our community are an integral part of Arizona Cancer Foundation for Children and allows us to offer our programs free of charge to hundreds of Arizona families yearly.” Info: barrospizza. com or azcancerfoundation.org

Urban Margarita has added two brunch dishes and drink specials just in time for Father’s Day. Among the menu items are cabernet-braised short ribs, eggs benedict and bananas foster Frosted Flake French toast for brunch, along with draft beer and Bloody Marys all day. Chef David Borrego said Urban Margarita is a scratch kitchen. “Everything we do is house made. We don’t have cans or mixes.” Borrego said. “Our cabernet-braised short ribs braised low and slow for five hours. They’re prime short ribs, so they’re a better product to begin with.” After braising in chipotle and honey, the ribs are placed on an English muffin and topped with hollandaise sauce. “Our hollandaise sauce is made fresh every hour; no mixes or powders are used so it stays fresh,” Borrego said. The bananas foster Frosted Flake French toast is a sweeter option. Starting with brioche from a local bakery, “we’ll do a traditional French toast batter, but we encrust the toast in Frosted Flakes,” Borrego said. The twists to this dish don’t end
there. Inspired by table-side bananas foster, Borrego added the classic treat to this dish. “We make the sauce with brown sugar, a little rum, cinnamon, vanilla and cook it down. Then we’ll toss in fresh bananas and heat it up,” Borrego said. This is poured over the French toast, then topped with fresh whipped cream. Don’t forget the drinks. “We’re doing beers for $3 — dads love beer — and we’re doing Bloody Marys for $5,” Borrego said. Borrego said Urban Margarita is the perfect place to celebrate Father’s Day. “My wife Kimberly and I are always on the floor and talking to guests,” Borrego said. “We promote the family atmosphere and want people to feel welcome at our restaurant.”

Corral these thoughts from a real roundup Let me set the stage for you. Years ago, I was at the Red Lake Ranch in New Mexico at roundup time. Roundup was a big deal at Red Lake. The ranch shipped as many as 700 steers and 700 heifers each fall. Rounding up that many cattle on this 125,000-plus-acre ranch, situated in the high country, 60 miles southwest of Albuquerque, required all the cowboys and cowgirls the owners could muster. Thus, there I was, in my late twenties, riding in a real, honest to God, western roundup. The horse I rode was named Quien Sabe. I’m a medium horse rider, but Quien Sabe was a high-grade cattle horse. Why did they give me Quien Sabe? They knew that I didn’t know what I was doing, but the horse did. Go figure. Quien Sabe in Spanish means, “Who knows” or “Who’s to say?” During the final stage of most roundups, cattle are moved from the shipping pasture to the shipping pens. There the cattle are weighed and then loaded onto cattle trucks. All the riders form a large “V,” aim-

ing the cattle to the gate of the shipping pen. There is one rider who rides what is called “point.” The “point” rider is in the middle of the “V” and slowly drives the cattle into the “V” narrow end and then through the corral gate opening. You guessed it. Quien Sabe and I were assigned the task of riding “point.” Initially, he did a great job of slowly herding the 700 heifers toward the gate. I was hanging on and enjoying the ride. What a fantastic experience to watch a real ranch horse do his job. Occasionally, a heifer would try and break out of the “V” line. Quien Sabe cut her off and herded her back into the group. Time and time again, the cattle tested Quien Sabe, but he was up to the

Houston, or Red Lake Ranch, we have a problem! As the stampede raced toward us, the only eyes bigger than mine were Quien Sabe’s. His ears bent straight forward and then up. He hesitantly stepped forward, trying to decide which heifer he was going to take on first. While I appreciated his mettle, my will to survive kicked in. The unlearned, greenhorn city slicker riding Quien Sabe made an executive decision. We made a 180-degree turn pronto, and off we went. Quien Sabe never looked back. We ran, full speed ahead, with cattle behind us. And, of course, the 20 or so riders and their horses raced after the heifers and us. Thank God Quien Sabe was faster than the cattle. I imagine our group of riders looked like an ocSEE DELPH PAGE 23

challenge. Quien Sabe won every time. Then he would look back at me as if to say, “Wasn’t that good? I’m hot, hot, hot! Watch and learn, you greenhorn city slicker. You will call me ‘The Precious’ after this roundup.” After hours of the stuff that cowboys and cow horses do, Quien Sabe and I pointed 700 heifers into the shipping pen. However, at the front of the line was the alpha heifer. She’s the leader the herd follows and obeys without question. This time, the alpha heifer stuck her head into the shipping pen and somehow signaled to the herd, “I ain’t walking down this road.” She made a 180-degree turn, ran at full speed, and the other heifers, instantly and without question, followed her lead. Have you heard of groupthink? Heifers do it very well. Now, Quiem Sabe and I had 700 heifers stampeding toward us. I’m right in the middle of an authentic New Mexico cattle stampede.

topus on roller skates. There was plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backward or sideways. To make a long story longer (cowboys do that), we finally gathered all the heifers up and proceeded to try again, this time successfully. But Quien Sabe didn’t seem quite as, shall we say, confident on the second try. Maybe I am humanizing Quien Sabe a bit, but I think he may have learned a powerful lesson. Sometimes it’s best not to let yourself get in the way when you ought to get out of the way. It’s hard to get off your high horse, but sometimes it’s much harder on you if you don’t. The Bible has wisdom for people who are of the Quien Sabe variety and ilk. James 4:10 reads, “Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.” Bible wisdom said it is our job to humble ourselves, and it’s God’s job to exalt us. Sometimes, we are like Quien Sabe and we try to exalt ourselves. Then God does our job and humbles us. We get exalted
when we humble ourselves. Use your horse sense. It leads to stable thinking. Here’s your takeaway: Quien Sabe (Who knows?) now knows that using a little wisdom when facing a big problem probably saved his life, and his riders, too. He now knows self-sufficiency has ruined many a Quien Sabe who refused to get off their high horse when they ought to. Quien Sabe now knows a herd of 700 heifers are a lot of cows, and that ain’t no bull! Sometimes it is more important to discover what one cannot do, than what one can do.
