Police: Drive-by shooting scenes are complex BY ALEX GALLAGHER Glendale Star Staff Writer
When 19-year-old Ashin Tricarico allegedly terrified the West Valley with a string of drive-by shootings, many residents were shocked. However, one teen said he believed the senseless shootings were the end of a dark path Tricarico had been headed down since he was in high school. “I hadn’t heard his name since freshman year of high school, but as surprised as I was to hear that he had committed those crimes, I wasn’t shocked to see that he had gone down that path in life,” said Cole McCutcheon, who played football with Tricarico at Sandra Day O’Connor High School. Tricarico was reportedly kicked off the football team his freshman year for causing disruptions in the classrooms and, reported-

Glendale an official Super Bowl LVII sponsor BY TYLER WEGLEITNER Glendale Star Staff Writer

The city of Glendale will pay $1 million to be an official sponsor of Super Bowl LVII on Feb. 12, 2023. The $1 million will be paid in four installments of $250,000 through September 2022, according to city documents. This comes after the Glendale City Council approved the sponsorship agreement with the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee on June 8. When Glendale hosted Super Bowl XLIX in 2015, the city did not sponsor it. That was something Glendale City Man-
ager Kevin Phelps wanted to change when he joined the city in February 2016. “The city didn’t participate at all with the Super Bowl Host Committee,” Phelps said. The city only provided traffic and public safety support. Peripheral events were held in Phoenix and Scottsdale instead. One of Phelps’ goals was to work closely with sports organizations. “I said from day one that we need to have a stronger relationship with the NFL, Arizona Cardinals and with the Coyotes,” Phelps said.
Working together
After a yearlong conversation with the host committee, Phelps worked directly with it to negotiate a package that “we felt had great benefit to the city and to our citizens.” Besides covering the Super Bowl’s cost, the sponsorship “predetermines specific benefits, (items) that would benefit both the Super Bowl coming up and our citizens.” Phelps said the sponsorship package includes the Business Connect Program, which helps small businesses in the area.

custody so quickly was because of the great teamwork among agencies that gave us the ability to share information with our neighboring partners,” Sheffert said. “The Surprise Police Department also did a fantastic job working on tracking down this vehicle and getting the suspect into custody. I also want to note that our fire agencies through the West Valley were extremely busy tending to injuries and transporting people during all of this, and they did a phenomenal job doing everything they could.” The first shooting occurred near 103rd and Northern Avenue around 11:10 a.m., when a call came in that a driver in a white Volkswagen Tiguan had randomly opened fire. Police later responded to a call of a vehicle off the road near the 101 and Thunderbird Road, where a 56-year-old man was shot. The as-of-yet unidentified man later died of his injuries. The other scenes occurred near 109th Avenue and Union Hills Drive, 111th Avenue and Union Hills Drive, 113th Avenue and Bell Road, 118th Avenue and Bell Road, Loop 303 and Happy Valley Road, and 21800 N. El Mirage Road. Around 12:42 p.m. a Surprise Fire-Medical Department employee noticed the Tiguan driving on 147th Avenue and Grand and immediately alerted Surprise police, who later stopped the vehicle. The weapon was found at the scene. “We’re happy that he gave up and was compliant with our officers,” said Surprise Police Sgt. Tommy Hale. The Loop 101 northbound was closed from Thunderbird Road to Grand Avenue to accommodate the investigation.
Victims’ demographics
The victims range in age from 19 to 56 and are males and females of various races, according to Surprise Police Sgt. Tommy Hale. A 3-year-old child was in one of the vehicles that was shot at but was not struck or injured. Banner Health received nine patients at its hospitals in connection with the shootings. Two were transported to Banner Health Boswell, three to Banner Health Thunderbird and four to Banner Health Del Webb. Though this was a tragic situation,
police were thankful with how quickly they apprehended the suspect and that there were no further incidents. Sheffert said the responding agencies have a heavy heart for the deceased’s loved ones as well as with those who arrived at the murder scene. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the loved ones of the deceased as well as our officers and the firefighters who had to deal with this all day,” Sheffert said. There are resources available to victims and employees of the Peoria and Surprise police departments as they sort through this spree. “We have a victims assistance program for the victims and those involved, including our officers,” Sheffert said. Though the crimes are still under investigation, police have strong reason to believe that the shooter acted alone. “We have no information at all to allude to a second shooter,” Hale said. “The suspect was taken into custody, and there is no reason for the public to feel unsafe.” If anyone has any further information for police, they are encouraged to call the Peoria Police Department at 623-

773-8311 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS. It was later reported that Tricarico was involved in May 5 incident near Black Canyon Access and Dunlap Avenue. Tricarico was working as a licensed armed security guard at a restaurant and was asked to deal with a male customer who was reportedly intoxicated and causing a disturbance. Tricarico went outside to call 911. The man followed and allegedly charged Tricarico, who fired one shot, striking the man, which can be heard on the 911 call. The adult male was transported to a local hospital with a nonlife-threatening injury. Tricarico remained on scene and cooperated with investigators. Tricarico claimed he shot in self-defense. Evidence from the scene, to include the gun, was impounded and remains in Phoenix police custody. The aggravated assault case is under investigation. The department is awaiting forensic analysis of physical evidence. Once completed, the report will be turned over to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for review.

School district earns financial reporting award BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Glendale Elementary School District was awarded the Certificate of Excellence in financial reporting from the Association of School Business Officials International. GESD earned the Certificate of Excellence for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. The association’s Certificate of Excellence recognizes districts that have met the program’s high standards for financial reporting and transparency. “The Glendale Elementary School District finance team works diligently to ensure a fiscally responsible approach to managing the budget. While we navigated challenges of the pandemic, our team remained focused on providing a strong financial reporting system,” said Mike Barragan, the district’s assistant superintendent for finance and auxiliary services. “I congratulate our finance and pur-
chasing director, Valerie Caraveo; our accounting/budget supervisor, Courtney Piña; and the entire GESD finance team for demonstrating their commitment to financial transparency.” As part of the Certificate of Excellence program, the district submitted a report for review by a team of financial professionals who provided feedback and certified that it met the requirements to receive the Certificate of Excellence. A district’s participation in the Certificate of Excellence program can facilitate bond rating and continuing bond disclosure processes. “The COE’s mission is to promote and recognize excellence in financial reporting,” said ASBO International Executive Director David Lewis. “The comprehensive annual financial report informs stakeholders about the financial and economic state of the district, making it an important communications tool for building trust and engaging with the school community.”

Banner Thunderbird honors first responders
BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF A couple months after 22-month-old Justin Alvarez nearly died after falling into a backyard pool, the basketball-loving boy had the chance to meet the first responders who helped save his life during a ceremony honoring them. It was a moment that was especially rewarding for the first responders, who were ecstatic to see that Justin had made a full recovery. Banner Thunderbird presented the Life Saving Award to Capt. Berry Morgan, Richard Robnett, Anthony Adelman, Matt Votow, Capt. Michael Curtis and Kyle Coffey from Phoenix Fire Department Rescue 33 and MR 154, as well as Phoenix Police Officer Shelby Meinhardt, for their quick response and actions that helped save Justin. Meinhardt, who recently graduated from EMT school, performed CPR on Justin for nearly two minutes before EMS responders arrived. Justin was then brought to the emergency department at Banner Children’s at BTMC, where he was intubated and then taken to the pediatric intensive care unit. The boy’s tiny body was cold. His heart beat slow, and he showed signs of potential brain injury. But Dr. Ra-
hul Chawla, a pediatric intensivist, and his team worked quickly to save him. By the next day, Justin recovered well enough to have his breathing tube taken out. Now, the young boy is living a healthy, normal life with his family once again because of the exceptional actions, care and coordination from Phoenix Fire, Phoenix police and Banner Thunderbird.

Truth in Taxation Hearing Notice of Tax Increase
In compliance with §15-905.01, Arizona Revised Statutes, Glendale Elementary School District is notifying its property taxpayers of Glendale Elementary School District’s intention to raise its primary property taxes over the current level to pay for increased expenditures in those areas where the Governing Board has the authority to increase property taxes for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2021. The Glendale Elementary School District is proposing an increase in its primary property tax levy of $600,000. The amount proposed above will cause Glendale Elementary School District’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to be $50.12. Without the tax increase, the total taxes that would be owed would have been $32.75.
These amounts proposed are above the qualifying tax levies as prescribed by state law, if applicable. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides. All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing on the proposed tax increase scheduled to be held July 8, 2021 at 4:00 p.m. at the Glendale Elementary School District Office Boardroom, 7301 N. 58th Avenue, Glendale AZ 85301.

SUPER BOWL FROM PAGE 1
“They created this program to specifically connect our small businesses, especially those small businesses that are women, minority, veteran and LGBTQ-owned businesses,” he said. “We will have a series of workshops that will be run by the NFL, and we will extend invitations to our small-business community.” He hopes this agreement will continue to benefit Glendale and its residents even after the Super Bowl. “This package really allows us to do some things that I know we’re going to be able to turn into gigantic benefit, not just during the event but will be things that will have a benefit to the city and for our community for years to come,” Phelps said. Jay Parry, CEO of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, said that there were many long-term positive impacts of hosting a Super Bowl, one of which is its “enormous, direct economic impact.” She said that because of this, there has been a lot of support and interest from the public. According to a 2015 study by the W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and the Seidman Research Institute, that year’s Super Bowl brought more than $719 million to the Valley’s economy. Parry also referenced the significant exposure the city received when it hosted Super Bowl XLIX in 2015 and the continued exposure in 2023. “There’s no bigger audience for sporting events than a Super Bowl,” she said. “So, if you think back to 2015, that still is the most widely watched Super Bowl ever, and over 100 million
viewers were tuned in.” Parry said the NFL and the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee will work together to give back and leave lasting impacts on the surrounding communities. “One of the other major impacts is leaving a lasting legacy after Super Bowl has happened in Arizona,” Parry said. “So, the host committee, the host committee partners and the NFL work together and award grants to nonprofits in the local communities of over $2 million.” Phelps said the committee chose Glendale because it previously showed it could host major events like this. “The NFL is not coming to Glendale because they really like being here in Glendale,” Phelps said. “They’re doing it because we can demonstrate that we can put on big mega events and do them really, really well and that we’ll do our part to help defray these costs that are associated with such a huge event.” He said that he hopes fans, residents and nearby cities will continue to realize all the effort that goes into hosting a Super Bowl and being selected as a host. “We can’t sit back and just assume that we’re going to get our Super Bowl every six or seven years,” Phelps said. “We’re going to have to always put on a good show. We’re going to have to help partner with the NFL to help cover the extreme cost of putting these things on. I just hope that our citizens don’t think that these things just happen regardless. It’s going to be something that we need to continually be working toward getting.”

Airport, TSA security delays have returned BY RITHWIK KALALE AND CONCETTINA GIULIANO Cronkite News
Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is filling up with more travelers this year, with more than 4.8 million passengers boarding flights there in the past four months alone, according to a report published by the airport. Due to the low volume of travelers at the height of the pandemic, getting through security and the preboarding process was quick and easy. But today, the process is a bit more difficult, according to Patricia Mancha, a media Transportation Security Administration spokesperson. “During the pandemic, if anyone traveled, they saw no lines. It was a quick process. That’s not the case anymore,” Mancha said. The COVID-19 pandemic hit American travelers hard in 2020 and early 2021. In addition to lockdowns and people’s health concerns over travel,
After a pandemic-induced lull, passengers at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport started returning last year, as seen in this September photo.

the government issued bans on travel to countries such as Iran, China, the United Kingdom, Brazil, South Africa
and, most recently, India. According to Sky Harbor officials, 2020 had around 21 million travelers,
compared to the more than 40 million who traveled through the airport in every other year in the decade. For many people traveling through Sky Harbor, it is their first time going through the security process since the pandemic began. Mancha said many travelers have forgotten what the security and preboarding rules consist of, such as prohibited items in carry-on baggage. Sky Harbor security has found a record number of prohibited items in carry-on baggage this year, including novelty blades, replica firearms, hiking sticks and stun guns. “The most often used excuse that we get from people when we find a prohibited item is, ‘I didn’t know it was in my bag,’ or, ‘It’s my spouse’s bag,’ and, ‘I didn’t know this item was in there,’” Mancha said. Mancha said that any item found that can be used as a makeshift weapon, in-

Heather Shelbrack, public information manager for Sky Harbor, said the federal mandate put in place by President Joe Biden in January applies to the airport. “The federal mandate requires masks which cover both the mouth and nose for passengers, visitors and employees in the airport terminals, on commercial flights, on airport buses, onboard the PHX Sky Train and in the Rental Car Center,” Shelbrack said. The TSA has compiled a list of items that are allowed and prohibited in both carryon or checked baggage on its website. “Arrive early, have a plan and understand exactly what items you are wearing or bringing when going through the security checkpoint to avoid a secondary inspection,” Mancha said. “If you’re traveling with family or multiple people, make sure everyone does the same thing.” For more stories from Cronkite News, visit cronkitenews.azpbs.org.

cluding children’s toy weapons, can be confiscated. “Some of the things we see, like a replica of a gun that is actually a lighter, or a toy gun, are all prohibited simply because they look like guns,” Mancha said. “We have a full range of items, such as a stun gun disguised as a flashlight, which we have seen a lot of lately, pepper spray and switchblades — all of which is allowed in your checked baggage, just not your carry on.” Mancha said travelers have the option to “voluntarily abandon” prohibited items. Items that have been voluntarily abandoned by travelers are often put on display at Terminal Four. Prohibited items are not the only rules travelers have to keep in mind when entering Sky Harbor. Despite no statewide mask mandate in Arizona, the federal government requires masks on “planes, buses, trains and other forms of transportation” and in “airports and stations.” Sky Harbor requires travelers to wear face cover-

Feel like a victim? Don’t invite me to lunch BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
The argument began, as so many do, over words. A friend, male, late 40s, Jewish, was detailing an anti-Semitic insult he’d suffered at the hands of a client. Then he wanted it to be my turn. “You must be the victim of discrimination like that all the time,” he asserted. My response? “I’ve never been the victim of anything in my life. Have I experienced anti-Semitic language and insults? Sure. A lot. But victimized? I don’t think so.” Our conversation descended into semantics and harshness over what constitutes victimhood. My friend argued that we’re all — all 7.6 billion Earthlings — victims of slights and people we may never admit or never know harmed us. I argued that his definition of victimization trivializes real injury. “If everyone’s a victim, then no
one’s a victim” was my final salvo. The server mercifully delivered the check. “I’ve been to murder scenes. I’ve interviewed survivors of concentration camps and rape. I just don’t see a parallel between how they’ve been hurt and some idiot calling you a hebe.” It’s true that there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Mine probably cost me a friend. I thought about this exchange for days, about why being called a victim so lodged in my craw. I guess it’s because in America today, the prevalent narrative — one I reject with great force — is that we are a nation of victims and victimizers, the afflicted and the afflicting, and I try every day to live my life as neither one. To consume news in 2021 is like reading an endless scroll of society’s victims. Violence, racism, income inequali-

ty, police brutality, bullying, ageism, sexual harassment, gender inequality, COVID-19, LGBTQ discrimination, kink shaming, sizeism, and countless more stigmas and prejudices. If I sound intolerant, cold or sarcastic — or like I’m “mansplaining” in a discriminatory huff — that’s not my intention. But lately I find myself experiencing an “empathy deficit,” the sense that my well of compassion might be running lower than Lake Mead on a blazing June afternoon. A confession: I do everything I can to empathize with victims in proportion to the injury done to them and the theft committed against them. I grieve the murdered dead. I want justice and greater compassion for all who suffer sexual assault or hate crimes. I loathe Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein for their criminal acts. I want police officers to seek out wrongdoers without seeing skin color. I donate to charity. And yes, I “hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,” and that we, one and all, possess “certain unalienable rights, that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” I was raised to honor the Golden Rule. Or, as Jesus put it in Matthew 7, “So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you.” That’s an old-fashioned way of thinking, of course. Today, it’s insufficient to treat others as you hope to be treated. Instead, we’re asked to treat everyone exactly as they would like to be treated or risk being branded a victimizer. Alternately, we are expected to empathize with anyone who has not been treated up to their own exacting standards. Don’t believe me? Check the scathing Yelp reviews authored by anyone who has ever been served a not-quite-medium-rare burger. There are victims in the world, and I do feel for them. But there are also people who seem to define themselves chiefly by the injuries they have suffered, every sickening insult, every deprivation, every last inequality. That is their prerogative, I suppose. But they probably shouldn’t invite the rest of us to lunch anytime soon. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.

All Rock Supply: Building a family-owned business By Carrie Snider
L
ouis and Kristen Rodriguez purchased a small rock supply business from her father in 1999. At the time, the little company was a one-truck operation in Apache Junction. They had no idea what the future held. From the beginning, the couple focused on what buyers wanted. When customers came in to purchase rock, they asked where they could buy artificial grass. Those conversations piqued Louis and Kristen’s interest. They added items to their supply so they could be a one-stop shop. “We listened to our customers,” Kristen said. The more they listened, the more All Rock Supply expanded. Thanks to their customer-focused business approach, what was once a one-truck operation has turned into a Valleywide company. All Rock Supply has three locations —
Chandler, Glendale and San Tan Valley. They offer landscape rock and gravel, sand and aggregates, pavers and construction blocks, tools and accessories, and artificial grass, with delivery available. Kristen said Phoenix-area residents come to All Rock Supply for the staff’s knowledge and trustworthy nature. Louis and Kristen have years of experience, as do their employees. “We hire individuals with landscaping or rock backgrounds who can really help them,” she said. While many customers come in knowing what they want, others need assistance. Expert employees asking the right questions make a world of difference. While the family-owned business prides itself on being personable, it also knows price is imperative. Its “meet-orbeat” policy has helped build a strong customer base. Keeping the latest trends in stock is always a priority. And while travertine

and tile styles tend to come and go, Kristen said one thing that customers always seem to want is pavers.
“Pavers never seem to get old. As soon as we get them in, they go right back out again,” she said.

Looking through a dark glass, confusedly BY J.D. HAYWORTH
Glendale Star Columnist
Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin spent a mid-June day in Geneva, talking to each other at a summit conference. NBC News headlined its preview of the event as: “Biden begins long, tense meeting with Putin.” Don’t believe it. NBC and the other alphabet networks, plus their cable cousins, along with the New York Times and the Washington Post, no longer disseminate news — they construct narratives. In a world where the true news cycle would change by the nanosecond, the old-line press organs in the United States have remained remarkably consistent, especially over the last decade. Collectively, they spout varied narratives under this broad theme: Conservative principles are wrong and dangerous, while leftist goals are somehow “forward thinking” and to
be embraced. You may be tempted to file that general theme under the heading “Wrong is Right,” and you would be correct. But when it comes to the pre-summit headline from NBC, further analysis is in order. The National Broadcasting Company is better defined these days by the words “Never Believe Conservatives.” Accordingly, the pro-Biden press partisans wanted to project an image of the 46th president as the “tough guy in the aviator shades.” If only. Sadly, we saw a very different image of Joe Biden during the G-7 meetings, just prior to the Russian summit. The swagger was replaced with a shuffle. Confidence gave way to confusion. Statements of certainty became mumbled, incoherent mutterings. The “Leader of the Free World” had to be led by his wife. Joe Biden has cognitive problems,
and the press has a real problem with credibility. Our international adversaries suffer no such delusions. Neither should we. Russian “President” (in reality, Neo-Soviet Dictator) Putin resembles the cat who ate the canary. He remembers the days of the old USSR, when he was a young KGB agent, and “old” was the operative term in Moscow. The Soviet Politburo was a gerontocracy. When President Reagan was asked why he had not held a summit with the USSR during his first term, he responded, “My problem for the first few years was they kept dying on me.” Brezhnev. Andropov. Chernenko. Now, in the United States, there’s an aging Democrat Troika on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. Pelosi. Schumer. Biden. Of the three, the Senate majority leader is the “spring chicken” at age 70; the House speaker is the most senior at 81; and the pres-

ident is 78. What’s Russian for “Now the shoe’s on the other foot?” Over a year ago, when he was a little more spry, candidate Biden challenged a Marine veteran who criticized his son’s unsavory associations to a pushup contest. During the one-day U.S.-Russia summit, President Biden meekly pushed a list across the table to Putin — a list of 16 critical infrastructure targets “off limits” to Russian cybercriminals. So, can the internet thieves begin with No. 17 on the target list, or should Vlad have thanked Joe for helping Russia’s cyber warfare experts by doing their work for them — or both? Instead, Putin took the typical Russian approach: He simply denied any cyber connection. Back home, there’s no denying the curious paradox of President Biden: Our chief executive, so confused during his trip abroad, leads an administration that is singularly focused on what it perceives as the top domestic threat. Attorney General Merrick Garland spelled it out during the “off day” between the G-7 meeting in England and the summit in Geneva. “In the FBI’s view, the top domestic extremist threat comes from racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists — specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race.” Got that? Never mind the more than 8,500 extremists of BLM and Antifa arrested during the riots last summer. They did billions of dollars in damage, but many made bail, courtesy of the Hollywood left and Democrat politicians, including Kamala Harris. So, rioters from the left are mere protesters. Protesters from the right are rioters, insurrectionists and, likely, white supremacists. Quite the narrative. Dark days ahead. J.D.

Easy and odd solutions to everyday problems BY JUDY BLUHM
Glendale Star Columnist
Looking for easy solutions to common household problems? There’s a whole world of uses for the stuff we keep in our cupboards. Did you know that you could immobilize flying insects with hairspray, repel fleas with salt, and condition hair with mayonnaise? You can polish your leather boots with Endust, prevent car battery corrosion with chapstick, and clean the toilet bowl with Coca-Cola. Books have been written about using common ingredients for a multitude of purposes that will simplify our lives. I’m not convinced. How am I supposed to remember that whipped cream in the can is also a great hair conditioner, shaving cream and makeup remover? (I’ll ask my husband, Doug, to try whipped cream next time he shaves
and see what he thinks.) Who would have guessed that charcoal briquettes could be used to deodorize your refrigerator? Or, better yet, when one briquette is placed in a toolbox, it prevents your tools from rusting! If you are barbecuing, tea can tenderize the meat and club soda can clean the grill. Eating outdoors? Don’t worry about ants. Just draw a chalk line around your table (ants never cross a chalk line) or throw some coffee around your patio. Ants hate coffee. Vinegar is the most versatile product of all. Buy a bottle and you might be set for life. The miracle liquid can actually dissolve warts; relieve arthritis; cure an upset stomach; stop itching; soothe a sore throat; cool sunburn; repel bugs; and clean windows, dentures and toilets. And that’s only a partial list of the
wonders that can be accomplished with a little splash of vinegar. It can remove bumper stickers, prevent ice from forming on a windshield and cure hiccups. If you have a child who has gotten gum stuck in their hair, don’t worry. Just slap some peanut butter in the hair and voila, the gum can be combed right out. You can also spread some peanut butter on a mousetrap to use as bait. Mice love peanut butter. It’s a pretty mixed-up situation when you can brush your teeth with toothpaste, then use it to polish the silver, clean the piano keys, and patch small holes in the walls. Have a bug problem? Sprinkle Tabasco sauce on your outdoor plants. Oh, and if you have a toothache, rub on lots of Tabasco. Your mouth will be “set on fire” and
you won’t notice your tooth pain. One more thing: If you have bags under your eyes, just rub on Preparation H. It will take the bags away! And you can even slather it on your hair; it’s supposed to work great as a leave-in conditioner (just don’t pile it on). Looking for a cure from a hangover? Grab a can of WD40, or was it baking soda? Perhaps it was the peanut butter mixed with vinegar. Like to experiment? Be brave, but be very careful. OK, just use anything for everything and let me know how it all works out.

Fulton Homes School Salute contest winners BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Homebuilder Fulton Homes concluded its School Salute from Home program for the 2020-21 school year. With all 33 selected, the local homebuilder is doing a deeper dive into the trends and patterns that were revealed during the school year. This year’s program was designed to recognize individual musicians in grades 6 to 12 for their renditions of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” To be considered, interested students submitted their rendition to 94.5 KOOL FM virtually. Weekly winners received $250 to aid their education in music. Fulton Homes gave out a total
of $8,250 to the winning performances of the 2020-21 school year. A few different patterns can be seen from the selected winners. This was the school year of singers for Fulton Homes’ School Salute From Home, with 16 winners performing the national anthem vocally. The other most popular instruments for performances included the trumpet, clarinet and violin. All had three three winners per instrument. Other students’ performances included the trombone, tuba, saxophone, xylophone, viola, guitar, oboe and flute. While the contest was open to students in grades 6 to 12, the most pop-
ular grade levels of winning students were 12th and 10th grade (nine winners). Winners from other grade levels varied this year, and included 11th grade (four winners), ninth grade (five winners) and eighth grade (two winners). According to Fulton Homes, there were standout schools for the promotion this school year. Mountain Ridge High School in Glendale (six students) and Trevor G. Browne High School in Maryvale (five students) had the highest numbers of winners. Other schools with more than one winning performance included Peoria’s Sunrise Mountain High School (two

Wade Cota prepares fans for debut full-length album BY ALEX GALLAGHER Glendale Star Staff Writer
Former “American Idol” contestant Wade Cota named his forthcoming debut full-length album “Sweet Boy Summer.” However, it’s anything but playful, as its focus will be on the highs and lows that Cota faced over the last year. “I’ve gone through a lot. I went through a major breakup, and I lost my dad and my nephew,” Cota said. “It’s been a dark space for me lately, and I wanted to get out some of those messages as well as some of my healthy triumphs. There’s so many little things that have happened as well.” He’s sharing his stories through song on “Sweet Boy Summer,” which he plans to release in August. Inspired by the term “hot girl summer,” Cota wanted to create a title that suited him a bit more. While conversing with a friend, the phrase “sweet boy summer” slipped out. Cota immediately knew that was what he wanted to call his album. In terms of sound, Cota has given fans a taste of what to expect with the singles “Fake It” and “Ordinary Life,” two songs he hopes will reinvigorate rock ’n’ roll. “I’m trying to bring back rock ’n’ roll. I feel like it’s dying,” Cota said. “I want people to nudge back into rock
like it’s 1999 again.” Cota also yearned to create a collection with a variety of stories. “With my first EP, the entire thing was a story,” he said. “I wrote it to be more like a movie. With ‘Sweet Boy Summer,’ I wrote it to be a bit more like a sitcom.” “Sweet Boy Summer” and the tracks “Constellations” and “I Know” are evidence of Cota’s self-improvement mission. “I’m also trying to do something better with my life and my music,” Cota said. “This is the first time in my career where I have recorded something that I feel I could roll down my windows and blast it at the highest volume. I am so confident and comfortable with this music. This album, too, will have obscure album art to complement the name.” He described the artwork as a photo of him with his tousled jet-black hair and his face smeared with blood, which drips onto his shirt as he holds a
talent I see every week at open mic events and elsewhere is out of this world.” He is most excited to play a Sept. 3 festival in Corpus Christi, Texas, alongside another “American Idol” alumni, Chris Daughtry, and headliners the Offspring and Pop Evil. He hopes that he can tour with any of those artists following the show. “Everything is looking up, and I’m feeling good,” Cota said. Cota hopes that fans will not just hear his voice but find comfort in the album’s lyricism. “I want people to really listen to the words of the album. I hope that everyone can listen to the words and take something from it,” Cota said. “I want there to be something on there for everybody.”

human heart with a bite taken out of it. “I wanted to do something obscure that catches people’s eyes and they’ll think, ‘What is this?’” Cota said. For fans who are anxious to hear Cota’s voice, he can be seen playing original music the last Saturday of each month at Charley’s Sports Grill in Glendale. He also hosts studio sessions on Mondays at Tim Finnegan’s Irish Restaurant and Pub in Glendale and Tuesdays at The Golden Margarita in Downtown Phoenix. It’s a concept he created to highlight the up-and-coming artists the state has to offer. “It’s different from an open mic event. I actually get to book the night and showcase good artists,” Cota said. “I wanted to create a better environment for customers by booking the best artists I know. I think it’s cool to be playing at all, no matter the venue, and to be able to bring out a group of musicians who are hungry to play. The

Comedian Lee is ‘tall, dark and pleasant’ BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
California comedian Pete Lee loves the Grand Canyon State. He calls Scottsdale “the new Vegas.” He filmed his forthcoming Showtime special, “Tall, Dark and Pleasant,” at the Tempe Improv. Needless to say, he’s excited about playing CB Live at Desert Ridge Marketplace Thursday, June 24, to Sunday, June 27. “It’s very special to me,” Lee said about the CB Live, Copper Blues, Tempe Improv and Stand Up Live family of venues. “It felt really emotional to tape a special in the pandemic. For them to take all the COVID precautions and get that ready, and for all the fans in Phoenix to come out to the Tempe Improv, I will always love Phoenix. I can’t wait to come back.” As a former Wisconsinite, Lee is pleased with the Midwestern contingent in Arizona. “There are a lot of Wisconsin transplants down there,” he said. “The sun-
shine is a factor, I’m sure. Every time I play in the Phoenix area it feels like an away game for the Wisconsin team. “They come out in full force. I’m very hands-on. I like to meet everyone after the show and say hello. So many artists tell me they’ve sold VIP tickets. I don’t do that. I just meet everyone.” Lee was the first standup comedian to get a standing ovation on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” and it resulted in him appearing on the show several times over the years. Lee made his fifth appearance on “The Tonight Show” in March. In 2008, Lee made his network TV debut performing on NBC’s “Last Comic Standing,” finishing as a semifinalist. That same year, he made his TV acting debut on the CBS soap opera “As the World Turns.” At the end of 2008, he shot his own Comedy Central half-hour special, which earned him a cult following at comedy clubs and the opportunity to perform over the next 10 years at 500 colleges across the country. July 9 will mark the debut of his onehour special “Tall, Dark and Pleasant” on Showtime. Since he was in Tempe, Lee penned a new show and is grinding it out on tour. “When you do a special, you have to write a new hour to tour with,” he said. “If people see that hour on TV, they want to come out and see new stuff. “It’s the opposite of music. They want to see your new stuff. I’ve been working really hard since the day after I taped my special on Feb. 25 to come up with a new hour. It’s banging.”

Arizona assault conviction reversed BY JUDGE GERALD A. WILLIAMS North Valley Justice of the Peace

One of the many quotable lines from the classic film “Casablanca” is, “Round up the usual suspects.” Most agree that it would be unfair if every time there was a house fire, the local police simply arrested everyone who had previously been convicted of arson. In Arizona and in federal court, evidence concerning someone’s character traits is generally not admissible to prove that they acted in conformity with that trait on a particular occasion. On June 11, the Ninth Circuit discussed this issue and reversed a conviction from Arizona because of evidence that the trial judge allowed the prosecution to use in its rebuttal case. On March 6, 2018, at 3:34 a.m., the defendant called 911, used her sister’s name, and reported that someone had come into their home and hit her boyfriend in the head. Unfortunately, the response time took nearly an hour because the residence was in a remote location on the Navajo Reservation. When a Navajo Nation police sergeant arrived, the defendant gave a series of false statements to him in response to questions. Two hours later, an FBI agent arrived. Over the next few days, it became clear to the law enforcement agents that the defendant had provided false information. The victim was found unconscious, next to a piece of rebar, with a pool of blood by his head. After paramedics intubated him, he was flown to a trauma center for injuries that included skull fractures. He was subsequently unable to provide a statement concerning

his attack. After a jury trial, the defendant’s convictions included two counts of assault. At trial, the defendant claimed she acted in self-defense. She testified in detail that she had been the victim of an attack by her boyfriend that night. She also testified about three other alleged attacks on her by him. In rebuttal, the federal prosecutors called witnesses that testified about unrelated incidents involving the defendant’s alleged disorderly and combative behavior (e.g., hitting her sister on the head with a coffee mug). The Ninth Circuit reversed the defendant’s assault convictions (and ordered a new trial) essentially because it held that the prosecutor’s rebuttal evidence was both irrelevant and unfair. The court noted, “A person of violent character can still prevail on a self-defense claim.” More importantly, the court believed that this case was a good example of why we have these types of evidentiary rules. They are “designed to avoid a danger that the jury will punish the defendant for offenses other than those charged, or at least that it will convict when unsure of guilt, because it is convinced that the defendant is a bad (person) deserving of punishment.” Judge Gerald A. Williams is the justice of the peace for the North Valley Justice Court. The court’s jurisdiction includes parts of Anthem, Desert Hills, Glendale and Phoenix.

Lake Pleasant Sailing Club resumes activities BY ALLISON BROWN
Glendale Star Staff Writer
After more than a year of restrictions and regulations, the Lake Pleasant Sailing Club will resume normal activities this fall with a full event schedule Approximately an hour from anywhere in the Valley, Lake Pleasant is an easily doable day trip that serves as an oasis during the hot summer months. Many come to the sailing club for the water, but they stay for the friendships. “We have monthly meetings, guest speakers, organized on-the-water boating and networking. We promote and educate boaters, helping them to develop their skills, fully participate in and enjoy boating, all while making new friends,” said Cathy White, club secretary. “We’re really more of a social club that has a boating habit, because really it’s all about the people.” The club has about 150 members who hail from around the Valley, and White said they are always excited to have new members. Potential members can try out the club by attending a few of its meetings or joining in on a “guest sail,” where those without boats can tag along with someone else. Russ Test joined the Lake Pleasant Sailing Club eight years ago. “We became a member when they had a guest sail, where they invited people from the community to come out and sail,” Test said. “We met some people and joined that same day. It was just a no-brainer.” Former Florida residents, Test said he and his wife sailed around the country, but when they moved to Chandler in 2014, they sold their boat, thinking there was no use for it, but they were soon proved wrong. “Within a few months, we found out that there’s a very active sailing program in Phoenix,” Test said. “We immediately joined the club and haven’t looked back. I would say it’s an extremely active club, even more so than some of the boat clubs on the coast.” Since joining, the Tests are members. He said they have made “forever friends,” thanks to the club. Twenty-year member Doug Payne echoed this sentiment. Payne said that
besides his love of sailing, the friendships he has made at the club are what keep him involved. “We’ve made some long-term friends in the club, and we share that passion for sailing and also a little bit of RV, camping and travel,” Payne said. “We have the clubhouse RV trips as well. My wife and I participated in that, and that kind of makes it double the fun because we can sail and we can RV with our friends in the club.” Besides sailing and socializing, the club does a number of other activities. One, mentioned by Payne, is RV trips. Other activities include community cleanups, educational programs, cruises, and movie and dinner member meetings. One of the club’s most popular events has been its cruises. Payne said they cruise to Catalina Island every year, and he led the trip last spring. Test said he went on a weeklong Bahamas cruise with the club a couple times. However, Test said he also enjoys the educational programs. “We’ve had various speakers from around the world who have spoken at our meetings, and they will talk about things like trimming the sails, line handling, knot tying, docking, safety, and all kinds of things that are important for boaters to know,” White said. These educational programs, along with lessons offered by the club, can take someone who has never been on a sailboat and turn them into a pro — or at least a solid beginner. There are no certifications or experience required to join. “There aren’t any criteria for joining,” White said. “All they have to do is go to our website and sign up. In fact, you don’t even have to have a boat. Only 50% of our members have boats. So, we have public events called

Step back in time at The Spicery in Our 1895 Home BY CLAIRE SPINNER
Glendale Star Staff Writer
The Spicery in Our 1895 Home in Glendale is a hidden gem. Set inside a residential home in the Catlin Court Historic District, The Spicery is a step back in time. “It’s like going to your grandma’s house, if your grandma was a good cook, of course,” said owner Matt Borowski. The quaint restaurant’s charm stems from its authenticity. The afternoon lunch and tea restaurant in one of Glendale’s oldest buildings has allowed patrons to relive their childhood since the 1980s. The retrofitted home, purchased in 1986 by Martha Campbell, was opened as The Spicery in Our 1895 Home in 1987. After being resold in 2002, Campbell missed running The Spicery and repurchased the restaurant in 2010. She ran the restaurant for two years until, after turning 82, she retired. She sold it to current owner, family friend Borowski, in 2012. “It took a little pushing, but I came around to the idea, and I honestly was looking for something new,” Borowski said. While Campbell is no longer around to see the restaurant, The Spicery continues to operate with the same traditions that she put into it. Primarily a lunch eatery, The Spicery offers a three-course tea. The staff bakes bread every day from scratch and creates classic dishes with a twist. “The traditions are all still there,” Borowski said. “The decorations, the food, everything — it’s all Martha. I just keep the place open, honestly.” The Spicery has several themed rooms — the children’s tea room, the garden room, the blue room and the rose room, to name a few. Each room is intricately decorated to look like a true home from the 1980s. From the ceramic animal sculptures and the wall art to the printed tablecloths, the decor is reminiscent of a different time. “I think the most unique thing about The Spicery is that it really is like stepping back in time,” Borowski said. “It’s relaxing, it’s comfort food and

it’s full of tradition. It really does feel like going to your grandma’s house.” The tea menu includes a three-course tea with pastries, sandwiches and desserts, as well as options from the restaurant’s lunch menu. There is also the choice of a children’s three-course tea, which includes ice cream, sandwiches and cupcakes. The lunch menu includes a daily special, like roast beef with mashed potatoes or mac and cheese. Borowski joked that the restaurant “does it for the men, because they like to eat.” The lunch menu has traditional and home-cooked-inspired salads, sandwiches and soups, as well as a dessert menu. All of the menu items at The Spicery
are ornately presented to induce nostalgia and elegance. The restaurant is designed to draw diners into an interactive experience. “It’s not necessarily highend dining, but everything is presented in really traditional ways, especially with the teas,” Borowski said. “It’s just fun and relaxing. People love to dress up and take pictures of all the desserts and little sandwiches. It becomes a whole fun event. It’s very Instagrammable.” The pandemic took its toll on The Spicery, as customers couldn’t experience the restaurant in person. “Our clientele isn’t really the takeout crowd,” he said. “They are ladies and gentlemen who lunch. They want to visit and have that in-person atmosphere.” In response, they switched to a farmers market-style system during lockdown. Every two weeks, The Spicery released a menu with shareable-sized dishes. “We would premake all sorts of things,” Borowski said. “And everything was in these large quantities that were really perfect for small gatherings. We’d sell packs of a dozen cinnamon rolls, a pound of chicken or tuna salad, pretty much what’s on our menu
but made to be taken home.” Borowski said it is refreshing to see customers return to The Spicery after a challenging year. He said business is finally returning to normal, and he expects a successful summer season. “It’s been a slow process, but we’re starting to get back to normal,” Borowski said. “You can’t necessarily expect people to jump right back into socializing immediately, especially when you’re talking about dining out. But I’m starting to see familiar faces again as well as new ones, and I think things are evening themselves out.” The 45-year-old restaurant has become a family tradition. Many of its patrons who visited the restaurant as children are returning with their children and grandchildren. Borowski said this family environment is what sets The Spicery apart. With friendly service and a team that knows each other like family, The Spicery feels like being at home. “I really say it’s one-third the food, one-third the atmosphere and one-third the service that really makes it feel like being at a home away from home. I think that’s what makes it really special, just that feeling of family.”

Get to know someone before judging them Many times in life, we make judgments about behavior we don’t understand. Often, the younger look at older people as those to be tolerated, not celebrated. Honestly, younger people may be seeing farther than more senior people because they’re sitting on older folks’ shoulders. This column is a true and extraordinary story that many people don’t know. It is a shining example to be careful about judgments and how one might learn to be cautious with our older folks until you know them better. You never know what they have done for younger people during their lifetimes. The story comes from Max Lucado’s book “The Eye of the Storm.” I’ve shortened the story a bit to fit into this article. “It happened every Friday evening, almost without fail, when the sun resembled a giant orange and was starting to dip into the blue ocean. “Old Ed came strolling along the beach to his favorite pier. Clutched in his bony hand was a bucket of shrimp. Ed walks out to the end of the dock,

where it seems he almost has the world to himself. Everybody’s gone, except for a few joggers on the beach. Standing out on the end of the pier, Ed is alone with his thoughts and his bucket of shrimp. “Before long, however, he is no longer alone. Up in the sky, a thousand white dots come screeching and squawking, winging their way toward that lanky frame standing there on the end of the pier. Now, dozens of seagulls have enveloped him, their wings fluttering and flapping wildly. Ed stands there tossing shrimp to the hungry birds. As he does, if you listen closely, you can hear him say with a smile, ‘Thank you. Thank you.’ “In a few short minutes, the bucket is empty. But Ed doesn’t leave. He stands there lost in thought, as though transported to another time and place.

and climbed into a life raft. “Capt. Rickenbacker and his crew floated for days on the rough waters of the Pacific. They fought the sun. They fought sharks. Most of all, they fought hunger and thirst. By the eighth day, their rations ran out. No food. No water. They were hundreds of miles from land, and no one knew where they were or even if they were alive. Every day across America, millions wondered and prayed that Eddie Rickenbacker might somehow be found alive. “The men adrift needed a miracle. That afternoon they had a simple devotional service and prayed for a miracle. Then they tried to nap. Eddie leaned back and pulled his military cap over his nose as time dragged on. All he could hear was the slap of the waves against the raft. Suddenly, Eddie felt something land on the top of his cap. SEE DELPH PAGE 27

When he finally turns around and begins to walk back toward the beach, a few of the birds hop along the pier with him until he gets to the stairs, and then they, too, fly away. And old Ed quietly makes his way down to the end of the beach and on home. “If you were sitting there on the pier with your fishing line in the water, Ed might seem like a ‘funny old duck,’ as my dad used to say. Or, to onlookers, he’s just another old codger, lost in his weird world, feeding the seagulls with a bucket full of shrimp. Old folks often do strange things, at least in the eyes of others.

It was a seagull. “Old Ed would later describe how he sat perfectly still, planning his next move. With a flash of his hand and a squawk from the gull, Eddie managed to grab the bird and wring its neck. He and his starving crew made a meal of it — a very slight meal for eight men. Then they used the intestines for bait. They caught fish, which gave them food and more bait for fishing, and the cycle continued. With that simple survival technique, they were able to endure the rigors of the sea until they were found and rescued after 24 days at sea. “Eddie Rickenbacker lived many years beyond that ordeal, but he never forgot the sacrifice of that first life-saving seagull. He never stopped saying ‘thank you.’ That’s why almost every Friday night, he would walk to the end of the pier with a bucket full of shrimp and a heart full of gratitude.” P.S.

GCC student-entrepreneurs receive seed funds BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Glendale Community College students Kaitlyn Benincosa and Fahad Shakir have each been awarded $2,500 from the Everyday Entrepreneurship Venture Fund. Benincosa and Shakir received the $2,500 seed funding for their business concepts. The two student-entrepreneurs will also receive ongoing mentoring and advising from the Maricopa Small Business Development Center, as well as from GCC faculty and staff. Benincosa is opening Belle Botanical & Creations, a business that creates permanent flowers and floral arrange-
ments for weddings and events. Shakir is expanding an existing business, Falafel Avenue, a mobile vegan food concept. Everyday Entrepreneurship Venture Fund (EEVF) is a program created by the National Association for Community College Entrepreneurship (NACCE) to help community college students start and scale their businesses. NACCE is fostering community investment through this program by matching local donations up to $20,000. GCC, along with four other colleges in the Maricopa Community College District, participates in the EEVF
program and supports student-entrepreneurs by providing workshops and classes, advising, and sponsoring pitch competitions. Several GCC business faculty members have been instrumental in making this opportunity available for students. Dr. Gabriela Cojanu recruits and preselects students for the program, and Brent Kleinman helps secure donations, including a $2,500 donation from the Encanto Palmcroft Benefits for the spring 2021 program. Cojanu and Kleinan, along with business faculty from other Maricopa colleges, served as judges.
The EEVF program will continue in fall 2021 and spring 2022, making it possible for additional student-entrepreneurs to participate and have the opportunity to receive funding. For more information about EEVF, the Innovation Challenge program, as well as small-business and entrepreneurship classes, contact Cojanu at gabriela.cojanu@gccaz.edu. Glendale Community College provides 41 associate degrees, 61 certificate programs and a range of nondegree offerings, all available to students in traditional, online and hybrid formats.
