Bars closed, shows canceled, school delay

BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

For many, July 4 means watching a big fireworks show, then celebrating at a bar.

Neither will be possible this Independence Day. An hour after Gov. Doug Ducey delayed school openings, closed bars and banned gatherings of 50 or more, Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers canceled a fireworks celebration.

A few days earlier, Deer Valley Unified and Glendale Union High school districts canceled graduations.

At a Monday, June 29, press conference Ducey closed bars, gyms, movie theaters and water parks “effective 8 p.m today with a targeted reopening date in 30 days.

“We are going to delay the first day of school until Aug. 17,” Ducey said.

He again pleaded with people to “stay home if you can.”

Ducey cited rising coronavirus numbers and hospitalizations in pleading with people to shelter in place—and, when in public, to wear masks.

“Indoor and outdoor public events of 50 or more will be prohibited,” Ducey said.

So out went Weiers’ backup plan. After Westgate canceled its annual fireworkson-the-Fourth show, Weiers scrambled SEE CANCELED PAGE 5

Despite emotional pleas from Litchfield Park and Waddell residents, Glendale City Council voted 6-1 June 23 for a rezoning that allows for a Love’s truck stop.

Cotton Properties, 160 acres on Cotton Lane between Glendale Avenue and Bethany Home Road, was annexed in January.

Council approved rezoning it from agricultural use to planned area development.

The planned area development zoning will be split between commercial and industrial uses. It includes a proposed Love’s

Travel Center at Bethany Home Road and Loop 303.

Although the vote was strictly on the rezoning, neighbors of the property emotionally opposed the Love’s Travel Center that would be able to be built in the area near Waddell and Litchfield Park.

But two people gave their support for the proposed truck stop.

In a letter to Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff, Tom Bradley, president and CEO of the Arizona Trucking Association, said, “Truckers are an essential business. They deserve a place to rest and resupply.”

He came to speak in person as well and explained that if there isn’t a truck stop available, truckers will just find another place nearby to park, which could mean they are parked in the neighborhoods.

Dressed in red, several dozen Litchfield Park and Waddell residents waited and watched the meeting in an adjoining room.

(Due to social distancing guidelines, attendance at the meeting was restricted.)

Seventeen community members came forward to speak against the truck stop.

Waddell resident Barry Coscavage said,

Lesko joins Trump wall tour, rally

BY FARAH ELTOHAMY Cronkite News

President Donald Trump toured a newly finished section of border wall June 23 in Yuma, crediting it not only for a reduction in border crossings and drugs but claiming it has helped prevent “a coronavirus catastrophe” on the southern border.

Trump, trailing a number of Republican elected officials, was in Arizona to mark the completion of the first 200 miles of the border wall that was a centerpiece of his 2016 campaign, and followed the Yuma event with a campaign-like speech in Phoenix.

“During the past two months, we’ve seen the lowest number of illegal border crossings in many years,” Trump said in Yuma. “Illegal immigration is down 84% from this time last year. Illegal crossings from Central America are down 97%.”

But Democrats were quick to criticize the visits on a day when Arizona set another record for new COVID-19 cases, adding 3,591 new cases and 42 deaths in one day.

Rep. Ruben Gallego, a Democrat who represents the 7th Congressional District, including Glendale and other parts of the West Valley, said that instead of his “little pep rally,” Trump should be spending his time on the coronavirus and the health and economic problems it has caused.

“You should probably stop at the Yuma Medical Center and see how many of the ICU beds there are taken by COVID patients,” Gallego said during a conference call with state and national Democrats.

“Or you should go and talk to the unemployment office to see how many people are unemployed because he mismanaged this whole situation to the point where the pandemic ended up affecting the economy,” he said.

But Trump, during a roundtable with state and federal officials before the border wall visit, only mentioned COVID-19 in the context of border security and the wall, which he said stopped COVID-19 from crossing into San Diego.

State Republicans at the event were

eager to credit Trump for the wall, which they said is already a success.

Rep. Debbie Lesko, a Republican who represents the 8th Congressional

District, including Peoria, Litchfield Park, and part of Glendale and Avondale, told Trump “the difference is so clear between what the Democrats want for the future of our nation and what you are doing to make us safe and make our country safe.”

Even as he praised the achievements, Ducey said, “I know there’s more to do, because the border’s longer than 220 miles.”

Trump, who has vowed to have 450 miles of border wall completed by the end of this year, promised June 23 that the wall “is going to be complete very soon.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden, the likely Democratic nominee to challenge Trump this fall, cited that as evidence that Trump “remains focused on his expensive, ineffective and wasteful ‘wall’ on our Southern Border.” He called the Arizona visit a “distraction from Donald Trump’s failed response to combat the spread of COVID-19.”

“The problem I’ve really got with the Love’s truck stop is I used to do auto repossessions and repossessions of trucks. Nine out of 10 of those truck stops we went to, the first thing that greeted us was the hookers, the drug dealers and then, of course, we got to witness the thieves.

“We don’t need that out there in that neighborhood.”

Other Waddell residents expressed immense concern for their safety among these possible crimes, as they explained that they do not have a police force or fire station readily available should a problem occur.

Some of the speakers had relationships with truck drivers, but they still did not support the location of the new truck stop.

“As a family member of truck drivers, I have one that was brutally beaten, barely survived,” Waddell resident Judy Meyer said. “He’s on permanent disability. He’s a truck driver that got beat at a truck stop. I don’t want that near my neighborhood.”

son also did not support the truck stop’s location despite his connections to truck drivers.

“I run a trucking company. It is based in Glendale, and I am pro-trucker,” he said. “I’m on the Arizona Trucking Association, and I sit on the board with Tony. But I will tell you, this is a bad spot for a truck stop.”

On top of these people who came forward, more than 40 citizens did not wish to speak but submitted written comments stating they were opposed.

the citizens, the applicant for rezoning William Lally said, “There are eight stipulations in front of you tonight that address almost every single issue that was brought up here tonight.”

Councilman Ray Malnar was not convinced.

“I have some real concerns, however, about the Love’s truck stop. I really am not in favor of a truck stop at this location,” he said.

Malnar, the lone vote against the rezoning, said he did due diligence to check everything out.

“I’ve driven their neighborhood. I’ve driven the area. I went out to some of the truck stops in other areas, in particular Buckeye. I spoke with residents,” he said. “I happen to be visiting someone who lives out in Buckeye and asked them. They live about 3 miles away from the truck stop. They weren’t impressed with what goes on at that Love’s truck stop there.”

Malnar felt that the rezoning was good, but he did not want a truck stop built at that location. He did suggest a

July 2, 2020 possible stipulation that says a commercial truck stop can’t be built in the area; however, it was not added.

Councilwoman Joyce Clark addressed the resident concerns of teenagers loitering around the truck stop.

She said, “I don’t think it is related to what the building is so much as what they are able to do at that site, and quite frankly, they’re going to be allowed to do less at that Love’s truck stop than they are at my local gas station.”

Other council members felt that although the residents have legitimate concerns, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that the commercial rezoning and a possible truck stop is now in the making.

“Development occurs around a freeway,” Tolmachoff said. “The trucks are there whether there is a truck stop or not. The trucks are there with all of this industrial (development).”

Mayor Jerry Weiers agreed with Tolmachoff that the trucks would be around. He explained that he used to be a truck driver, and with all of the industrial development, the trucks would be coming no matter what.

“If you don’t have a place like that,” he said, “they will be looking in your areas to park. I promise you that.”

Councilman Bart Turner explained that he also sees a demand for a truck stop in the area and said, “We’re not going to find better sites than this.”

Council members Jamie Aldama and Ian Hugh joined the majority vote to pass the rezoning without comment.

The rezoning motion passed. No timeline was provided for the proposed Love’s truck stop.

to set up a fireworks celebration in a retention area near Northern and 63rd avenues.

“I’m not willing to have the Fourth of July not happen. It’s too important,” Weiers said last week.

Then came Ducey’s press conference and order. Language of the executive order did not, however, force the cancellation directly: “Effective June 29, 2020, organized public events of more than 50 people are prohibited unless the city, town or county in unincorporated areas has approved the event, and only if adequate safety precautions are implemented, including physical distancing measures.”

Weiers had planned to have social distancing at the event but decided to cancel the event “after much deliberation.

“While celebrating our nation’s birthday is a time-honored tradition, ensuring the safety and health of our citizens so they can enjoy many more traditions remains essential,” Weiers said.

Peoria and Goodyear also canceled fireworks celebrations hours after Ducey’s Monday press conference.

“Stay home if you can,” Ducey said, repeating the message several times at his press conference.

“This is a dangerous virus, and we need to slow it down and contain it,” Ducey said, stressing, “Mask up.”

(Glendale passed a proclamation requiring people to wear masks in public last week.)

“This is a time for us to put on a fullcourt press,” Ducey said. “Our expectation is next weeks our numbers will be worse.”

No graduations

Peoria Unified, Deer Valley Unified and Glendale Union high schools will not have graduation ceremonies.

According to a post on the Glendale Union High School District website, “When we sent our graduation survey we were hopeful that the COVID-19 cases would decline, and that our state would be moved into Phase II so we could safely hold a traditional, in-person graduation at an indoor venue or on our schools’ football fields. Unfortunately, Arizona does not meet the gating criteria to move into Phase II. “Current recommendations for Phase I from local, state and national health agencies do not allow us to have a mass gathering. We are disappointed and saddened we are not authorized to proceed with a large ceremony.”

In a June 25 letter to parents, Deer Valley Unified School District Superintendent Curtis Finch said, “DVUSD truly hoped that we would be able to hold your graduation ceremony at State Farm Stadium with social distancing and safety precautions in place; however, today, the Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority, the governing authority over State Farm Stadium, announced that they will not allow us to proceed with the ceremonies due to the current health situation in Arizona.

“I am personally saddened for the students in the Class of 2020 that they are not able to participate in this rite of passage.”

The Deer Valley district includes Mountain Ridge High School, which has students from Glendale and Peoria.

Peoria Unified earlier canceled graduations scheduled last week for State Farm Stadium.

on various indicators of academic need and accessibility to resources. Traditional school districts and charter operations would apply for one-time funding.

And the governor also is putting $6 million into the Arizona Teachers Academy he got lawmakers to create several years ago in a bid to convince more college students to go into the classroom by paying for their college tuition.

What makes that necessary is that the COVID-19 outbreak has only exacerbated the number of older teachers leaving the profession, exacerbating what the governor’s office is calling the “Gray Wave’’ or “Silver Tsunami.’’ Those additional dollars, on top of $15 million already in the state budget, should provide enough to pay the tuition of another approximately 1,200 college students.

One thing not in the plan is what are expected to be higher transportation costs.

Essigs said schools won’t be able to fill buses with students, as had been done before, and yet still maintain the required social distancing. That, he said, will result in more trips, meaning more gasoline and, eventually, more wear and tear on buses.

Aides to Ducey said schools have direct access to other dollars, including funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, that could be directed to cover some of those costs.

Overall, Essigs said, he sees the plan as a positive development.

“At least it’s better than what it was before,’’ he said Other elements include: • $1 million for “school innovation microgrants’’ for innovative programs.

• $1 million for new vehicles for the Arizona School for the Deaf and the Blind.

• $700,00 to expand the Beat the Odds program to help train school leaders, particularly in rural and underperforming schools.

• $500,000 for the Teach for America program to provide tutoring to children defined as the most in need.

And school districts will be exempt from normal procurement rules—meaning going out and soliciting bids—for cleaning supplies and any other personal protective equipment needed.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Glendale Fire Department took down an alleged illegal fireworks operation June 29.

“A citizen alerted officials to what they believed to be an illegal sales operation coming from a residence,” said Ashley Losch, a Glendale Fire Department spokeswoman.

She said 4,000 pounds of fireworks were seized at a residence on 73rd Avenue near Northern Avenue.

“All of those (fireworks) seized during the operation are prohibited from use within the city of Glendale,” she said.

“Fire personnel say had the explosives caught fire the damage to the home and the surrounding area could not only have been severe but may have caused fatalities.”

According to Jose Santiago, a Glendale Police Department spokesman, “We currently are not releasing the names of the individuals involved, because charges are still pending.”

Losch said illegal fireworks are extremely dangerous.

“Every year, thousands of people are rushed to emergency rooms due to injuries they sustain from fireworks,” she said. “Out of those injured during firework accidents, 50% of those injuries are burns, immediately followed by injuries to the hands and fingers.”

using illegal fireworks

BY ERIN BRASSEY

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Though no changes will be made before July 4, Glendale City Council discussed and came to a consensus on city code revisions to penalties for breaking firework codes at a June 23 workshop.

Deputy City Manager Rick St. John presented the council with recommendations to raise penalty fines for selling or using illegal fireworks.

The council came to a consensus to raise the fine for a first offense to $1,500 and raise the fine for continued offenses to $2,000. This decision was not made without a lot of discussion among the council members.

“This is a hot topic,” Councilwoman Joyce Clark said. Although she supported the fine increases, she felt that time constraints for when fireworks can be used should also be set in place.

Mayor Jerry Weiers agreed with Clark, but Councilman Bart Turner did not.

Turner said, “A time frame doesn’t solve the problem. We need to do something else.”

Other council members also showed their support for the fine increases, mainly because they felt it would act as a deterrent to discourage the use of illegal fireworks.

Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff said, “It might give people pause.”

While in support of the increases, Councilman Jamie Aldama felt that the fines should be raised even higher. “We need something to really deter these folks from doing it.”

Councilman Ray Malnar brought up the fine in respect to a parent’s point of view, as he felt teenagers are often the ones using illegal fireworks.

“As a parent, if I knew this was the law, I would darn make sure that my kids weren’t firing off fireworks that were illegal, because it’s going to come back to the parents,” he said.

Councilman Ian Hugh questioned why people could only be cited if a police officer witnesses the fireworks being used.

“Can we make it illegal in Glendale to possess them?” Hugh asked.

St. John, the city’s former police chief, said he would look into Hugh’s question.

Weiers, Turner and Malnar all wanted to focus on educating the public as well.

Turner said, “When the Legislature legalized fireworks, they didn’t legalize all fireworks, not by a long shot.

But that’s how the public has heard it, and that seems to be the way they respond. And that’s what’s creating the problem.”

Weiers was much more interested in educating the public rather than raising the fines.

“They already know there’s penalties. ... Increasing the fine is not going to stop it,” he said. “The education, I think, is going to help more than anything.”

With all of the discussion, St. John recommended that the item be pulled from the agenda for the voting meeting that night. He explained that with the consensus they can move forward since the new language does not contradict any of the current language.

He also said that the revisions could then be brought back to the council in the fall. By then, the revisions could include the education requirements, possession legality and time restrictions.

GCU athletes self-isolating after testing positive for COVID-19

BY NICHOLAS BARKER Cronkite News

First it was the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Coyotes. Now, just as sports were beginning to start up again, players on the Phoenix Rising and Grand Canyon University men’s basketball team have tested positive for COVID-19.

GCU announced that all 16 players on the team are in quarantine, and the two staff members that have tested positive will not return to the practice facilities for at least two weeks.

“The Grand Canyon University men’s basketball team has been placed in quarantine after four student-athletes and two support staff members tested positive for COVID-19 after arriving on campus,” said Bob Romantic, a GCU spokesman.

“All 16 members of the team—14 student-athletes and two student managers—are in quarantine at a designated residence hall on campus for the next two weeks. The two additional support staff members who tested positive will remain at home for two weeks, per university policy.”

GCU student-athletes began reporting to campus in the past week for voluntary individual workouts but were first placed in quarantine for 72 hours pending the results of their physical and coronavirus testing. Four men’s basketball players who were asymptomatic tested positive at the end of that

72 hours and were immediately placed in quarantine while contact tracing was conducted, he added.

“Other team members who tested negative also were placed in quarantine out of an abundance of caution and will be tested again,” Romantic said.

GCU’s weight room, sports medicine clinic and basketball offices have all been sanitized, along with the student-athletes’ dorm rooms, according to Romantic.

GCU is at 3300 W. Camelback Road in Phoenix, just outside east Glendale.

Phoenix Rising FC General Manager Bobby Dulle announced last week that four players on the team tested positive for COVID-19.

“The good news is those players are asymptomatic, they are feeling well and are under the care and guidance of our team physicians at Mayo Clinic,” Dulle said. “We have quarantined those who have tested positive and implemented our procedures for those that were in close contact.”

The Phoenix Suns announced that two players have also tested positive for COVID-19, leading the team to temporarily stop all voluntary workouts.

The Arizona Coyotes also have received one positive case in the last month. The NHL is set to return to workouts on July 10, and the NBA is set to play the remainder of the season in Orlando starting July 30.

PUSD honors retiring ‘Stay home if you can’ ‘super’ superintendent

BY ERIN BRASSEY

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Peoria Unified School District Governing Board members emotionally honored Superintendent Linda Palles Thompson at her last meeting before her July 1 retirement.

With plenty of praise and nostalgic comments floating around the “remote” meeting, Governing Board President David Sandoval noted, “You are loved by many, without question.”

Thompson has been superintendent for the past three years and has been with the district for three decades.

Peoria Unified School District, headquartered in Glendale, serves more than 30,000 students in Glendale and Peoria. Dr. Jason Reynolds is the district’s new superintendent. (He was previously deputy superintendent.)

To follow social distancing guidelines, many of the board members appeared at the June 25 meeting via video conference.

In a video put together to thank Thompson, the governing board members gave praise and thanks.

“As a governing board member, it has been a real pleasure working with you. Enjoy your retirement. You really deserve it,” Beverly Pingerelli said.

Judy Doane explained that her time working with Thompson has been filled with inspiration for herself and she imagines the rest of the district.

“She has had the courage to make tough decisions and the heart to make the right decisions,” Doane said.

Monica Ceja Martinez said she is very grateful for not only what Thompson did for the district but also what she did personally.

“I remember the first time I met you, the way you made me feel was phenomenal,” she said.

Martinez went on to thank Thompson for “helping me grow as a leader.”

Governing Board Clerk Cory Underhill said she felt fortunate to have gotten to know Thompson.

“These few years have been challenging both for our community and

Gov. Doug Ducey noted an alarming rise in COVID-19 cases, saying, “The virus is everywhere.”

for you personally, and through it all you’ve never faltered,” Underhill said. “You’ve continued to be brave, to support us, to share all the joys, the frustrations, the sometimes anger, the tears and, of course, the laughter. And through it all, you have always shared your humanity and your gift for getting us to share ours.”

Thompson was touched by the nice comments and thoughts sent to her both through the video and spoken during the meeting.

“It’s been an amazing voyage,” she said. “It’s been that way because of our children, the thousands of children, our community, certainly our staff, certainly my cabinet, that you have been absolutely amazing, and my board.”

She explained that she wants to continue being involved in the district as a parent, grandparent and volunteer.

The district plans to honor Thompson’s work with a plaque at the SMart Center that she worked on putting together as well as a garden dedicated in her name at Copperwood Elementary School.

Before moving on to the rest of the meeting, Doan asked, “Can we do a standing ovation from remote?”

Without hesitation, the meeting filled up with applause.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF According to the Arizona State Department of Health Services, hospital in-patient and ICU beds are in the 8688% range—high, but not changed much over the last week. However, the Maricopa County Department of Health daily COVID-19 numbers show 90 more people hospitalized June 26 by coronavirus.

This was by far the highest single-day increase in June. The daily average increase of hospitalized COVID-19 patients for the previous week was about 30.

While he did not create another stayhome order, Gov. Doug Ducey came just short of begging Arizonans to voluntarily do so.

“Stay home if you can,” Ducey said, repeating the message several times at a June 25 press conference.

COVID-19 positive tests continued to accelerate, both in the state and Maricopa County. Hospitals were nearing capacity.

“Cases and hospitalizations will be worse next week and the following week,” Ducey said.

“This is Arizona’s time of challenge,” he added. “This virus is everywhere. ... Our hospitals are seeing additional stress, and they’re likely to hit surge capacity.”

With Independence Day—which many view as the party of the summer—fast approaching, Ducey called out a half-dozen Scottsdale bars that allegedly have not followed social distancing protocols.

“The crowded social gatherings we’ve seen must be minimized,” Du-

cey said a few days before closing bars.

“Our numbers continue to go in the wrong direction. It’s time to step up our actions. ... Our time of getting hit is right now,” Ducey cautioned.

“This is Arizona’s first wave, and this will not be our last.”

County figures

Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine of the Maricopa County Department of Public Health had similar words of caution at a June 25 webinar.

“We are still seeing record numbers of new COVID-19 cases,” she said.

“For now, we are averaging over 1,800 cases per day. We’ve seen 36% of all (positive COVID-19 cases) in the last week. Previously, we were averaging about 200 per day, so this is a dramatic increase.”

She said over half of the county’s COVID-19 cases have been in the 2044 age group.

“Previously, that group made up about one third,” she said.

While a smaller percentage of people are being hospitalized by COVID-19, “The total number of hospital and ICU beds occupied by COVID-19 patients has steadily climbed and is the highest it has ever been,” Sunenshine said.

“The good news is about 10 to 12% (of positive tests) are in individuals 65 and older. People in our highest risk group seem to be taking precautions.

“The younger age group (testing positive) likely reflects people going to work or school or being out in public. I can’t stress how important it is to wear a cloth mask” when in public.”

Glendale ballots to include bonds, EPCOR agreement

BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

November ballots will allow Glendale voters to decide on bonds for hundreds of millions of dollars and a licensing agreement with EPCOR. The latter is related to the city’s aggressive annexation of former unincorporated Maricopa County land near Loop 303, as EPCOR provides water and wastewater services in that area.

(The city’s water and wastewater systems do not extend that far west.)

After Glendale City Council approved the idea, voters will decide if a franchise agreement is granted to EPCOR Water Arizona. If voters approve the agreement, the city will receive 3% of EPCOR’s sales in the Loop 303 area.

Voters will also weigh in on the city’s $1.2 billion Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

According to recent agenda information, “The city’s investment in infrastructure and capital planning continues to enhance economic development and quality of life for our citizens. Significant streets and pavement maintenance projects are a top priority for the city

council.

“The 2021-2030 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) totals $1.2 billion. The first five years of the 10-year plan are considered funded with available or anticipated revenues. The last five years of the plan will be evaluated and funded as sources become available.”

The 2020-21 CIP totals $175 million.

Notable projects in the first year of the CIP include: • Pavement management, $10.2 million.

• O’Neil Park Splash Pad construction, $1.3 million.

• Public Safety Building remodels, $7.7 million, including improvements to the Sine Building, Court Building and other items identified in the Public Safety Assessment.

• Reconstruction of Glendale Avenue, $13 million.

• Reconstruction of Camelback Road, $3 million.

According to Assistant City Manager Vicki Rios, “General obligation bonds have to be voter approved. Cities take them to the ballot asking voters to give you authority to issue those bonds.”

Secondary property tax pays for general obligation bonds, she added.

This year’s ballot will have four bond propositions, for a $9.9 million landfill project, $87 million parks and recreation projects, $81.5 million streets projects and $9.3 flood control projects.

“If they are approved, our plan is to issue them without raising property taxes,” Rios said.

Glendale voters will be asked to approve a franchise agreement with EPCOR, which operates in the west part of Glendale.

A conversation about racism opened my eyes

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

As our days fill with talk of race, you wonder about the honesty of it all.

Blacks, whites, Latinos, Asians, so many shades of skin color, everyone screaming, posturing, but is anyone truly capable of telling hard truths?

You crave hearing someone plainly speak their mind without fear. So, you call the Reverend Jarret Maupin.

To label Maupin a controversial figure is to do him little justice.

Loathed by many, called out by Blacks and whites alike, Maupin nonetheless has been a fixture in Arizona for more than 15 years. Say what you want about him—and I have—but the Reverend rarely holds his tongue for fear of bruising feelings on matters of race.

So, you ask him, point blank, what percentage of whites does he believe are racists?

“If I just had to put a number on it, I’d say about 10% have some kind of prejudice because of their upbringing or their estrangement from minorities, any

number of factors,” Maupin begins. “Now if you get deep in the weeds of race relations, I would say maybe 40% of whites have what you might call subconscious bias.”

This would be the “you people” crowd, Maupin explains: Whites who mean no offense but blurt out lines like, “You people have really good soul food.”

As he puts it: “They don’t mean anything by it but a compliment, but it’s interpreted the wrong way. That doesn’t bother me actually. I get a smile out of it.”

The Reverend’s summation: “The vast majority of white people are not racist.”

Which raises a second question, equally blunt: What percentage of Blacks does he believe are prejudiced?

“Now you’re asking me a tough-a-question,” Maupin laughs. “I’ll tell you the honest-to-God truth. I think 50% of Blacks have some prejudice against whites because of things they’ve experienced or heard first-hand that have sort of jaded them. They’ve come across

that one in 10 white man or one in 10 white woman and they’ve painted with a broad brush.”

Considered from the perspective of statistics, Maupin’s response feels breathtaking. Of late, you have heard frequently that racism is a public health crisis, an affliction with all the virulence of COVID-19.

To date, not even 1% of Americans have tested positive for coronavirus; Rev. Maupin has just pegged the infectiousness of discrimination at a rate of one in two.

You wonder which cohort you’re in, and your loved ones, friends, colleagues?

More to the point, you wonder if America has passed the point where a cure is possible, because unlike a virus, racism does not seem to fade due to herd immunity, at least not if the 155 years since Emancipation tell the tale.

But then Rev. Maupin preaches a little. He speaks about his grandmother, the great Opal Ellis, and the late Lincoln

Ragsdale, Arizona civil rights icons, and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. He talks about South Africa’s recovery from apartheid and America’s need for a similar formal reckoning. He talks about his belief that fighting racism in 2020 is less about making new laws and more about changing minds. He shrugs off ideas like reparations or pumping endless tax dollars into public programs.

“Brother Leibowitz, we cannot spend our way out of emotional discord,” Maupin says. “I wish I had a better answer. I know I probably sound like I don’t have one.”

Not at all, my friend. You sound like a man struggling with something hard.

And you sound like someone open to baring your soul. Maybe that is the best two men from opposite worlds can do.

And maybe—you pray—that is truly something.

Buyers facing ‘feeding frenzy’ with short supply

BY PAUL MARYNIAK

Glendale Star Staff Writer

The West Valley’s shortage of homes for sale is beyond critical.

Some communities are actually close to running out of houses to sell, according to the Cromford Report, which monitors the Phoenix Metro housing scene.

“A surge in demand coupled with an unusually weak supply of new listings is creating an almost surreal market,” it said last week. “In many segments, buyers outnumber sellers many times over.”

Cromford said it also is exhausting adjectives to describe the “colossal” imbalance between buyers and inventory.

“In many cities, the supply of active listings without a contract is dwindling to levels not seen since the bubble year of 2005,” it said.

In the West Valley, inventory was in the single digits in El Mirage, where only eight homes were available last week. Only 20 were available in Tolleson.

It isn’t much better in Avondale, the hottest submarket in the Valley, where only 35 houses are for sale. And Glendale, the state’s seventh-largest city, has only 147 homes up for grabs.

“Calling it a feeding frenzy does not do it justice,” the Cromford Report stated, adding that even the luxury home market is shaking out of its sluggishness.

The 55-and-over communities “are also less skewed in favor of sellers,” it said.

Cromford uses a number of factors to

come up with a number that shows the balance—and imbalance—between buyers and sellers.

The closer its Cromford Index is to 100, the more even the balance, the higher that number is, the more strongly the market is favoring sellers.

To show how tilted the West Valley market is right now toward sellers, consider this: Avondale has a Cromford Index of 432 and Glendale 357.

That’s well above Phoenix’s 256 and even Peoria’s 196 Cromford Index number.

Cromford warns that the nearly historic sellers’ market means that buyers have to be extra careful.

“In this environment, things can get very frenetic and stressful,” it said.

“Decision time is often very short, and mistakes can result. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions a buyer will make, so I hope they will take time out to think carefully and not get

caught up in the frenzy.”

The rapid change in the market surprised Cromford.

It said that as recently as May 21, Valley cities “were moving in favor of buyers.”

“The change in direction has been sudden and violent,” it said. “This is not normal.”

In the last two months, Valley inventory has plummeted, dropping from 6,653 available homes to 3,496.

“That is a decline of over 47 percent, and so far no end is in sight for this trend,” it said, adding: “At the moment, the supply of homes for sale is collapsing, making things extraordinarily tough for buyers, who must compete with each other for the few homes offered for sale.”

In Phoenix, only 1,285 homes were on the market on June 16—a sharp difference from the historic average of more than 4,500.

tar

Despite the widespread loss of jobs driven by the pandemic, the Valley’s housing market is reflecting a nationwide scarcity of inventory, according to Realtor.com.

Experts partly attribute that to historically low mortgage rates as well as a downturn in new construction— although even new construction has not been as adversely affected by the recession as it had been after 2008, experts say.

Also fueling the imbalance in the Valley between sellers and buyers is a continuing influx of newcomers from other parts of the country, especially California.

“At the moment, the supply of homes for sale is collapsing, making things extraordinarily tough for buyers, who must compete with each other for the few homes offered for sale,” Cromford said, adding: “At the start of the pandemic, we saw a moderate bump in supply as a few investors sold in a panic, particularly those who owned vacation rentals who suddenly lost almost all their bookings. But now we are seeing a chronic shortage of entry-level and mid-range homes turn into a feeding frenzy for the few properties that remain on sale.”

To make matters even more discouraging for buyers, prices are continuing to rise.

“The few sellers who panicked at the start of the pandemic and sold without regard to getting the highest prices are now cleared from the market,” Cromford said, noting that the biggest driver of prices remains the scarcity of homes.

Leaders welcome others to the work of leadership

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Dr. Lori Wieters of Glendale is an industrial psychologist and co-founder of the Wi2 Co-Lab, a business co-laboratory in northern Phoenix.

ATHENA Valley of the Sun is having its 2020 ATHENA Awards July 28 in Scottsdale. Wieters is one of six who will be honored.

Individuals who own small and medium-sized businesses come to Wieters’ co-lab and are provided with resources to propel their business to the next level. The co-lab team includes experienced business professionals and contracted specialty consultants who serve more than 35 clients from a variety of industries. In addition to

consulting, the co-lab sponsors a Toastmasters group and a doctoral learning collaborative each month.

Wieters also works for Grand Canyon University as a doctoral professor guiding dissertations, teaching classes and doing research projects. She is trying to close the gap between the universities that are graduating professionals who are interested in the betterment of businesses, and where the new graduate does not have access to real-life consulting experience or internships.

“Most of the time we have an inability to communicate with people who are different from ourselves. Last year, our family and friends started a com-

munity garden at a Romanian church.

We worked with the pastor and congregation to build five garden beds, plant fruit trees, paint a mural and decorate the garden. We learned to communicate across the five garden beds,” she said.

“This is how I operate naturally— trying to find ways to connect people together across boundaries and borders.”

The 2020 ATHENA Awards will be held July 28 at the Clayton House, 3719 N. 75th Street in Scottsdale.

Tickets are $125 and are available at athenaaz.com.

Arizona jobless rate drops sharply, but still at twice pre-COVID levels

BY BLAKE FREAS Cronkite News

Arizona posted one of the sharpest unemployment drops in the country in May, falling from a historic high of 13.4% in April to 8.9% last month, according to the latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

But that drop still left May’s unemployment rate for the state at the highest point in almost nine years and was twice the jobless rate that Arizona posted at the beginning of year, before the COVID-19 pandemic hammered the economy.

The biggest job gains came in hotel and food services jobs, according to data from the Economic and Business Research Center at the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management. It said jobs in those categories rose from 178,500 in April to 216,900 in May. “Huge difference because of usual suspects reopening, which include bars, restaurants, retail and more,” said Elliott Pollack, economist and CEO of Elliott D. Pollack and Co., an economic and real estate consulting firm in Scottsdale.

University of Arizona economist George Hammond said the numbers reflect a bounce back from the stay-athome order that was lifted in Arizona

of almost 3 million jobs.

Arizona did particularly well in the May numbers report. Just four states—Mississippi, Kentucky, Indiana and Nevada—experienced sharper declines, and Nevada was coming off a bruising 30.1% rate to 25.3%. Arizona also posted the The unemployment rate in Arizona fell sharply in May, reversing the spike fifth-lowest jobless in joblessness caused by COVID-19 closures.

15. Restaurants took the greatest hit, with revenues down about 60 percent by mid-April.”

When those businesses started coming back, it was quickly reflected in the unemployment rate, said Amy Glaser, senior vice president at Adecco, a human resources and temporary staffing firm.

“Being one of the earlier states to return to work, Arizona has experienced a drastic improvement in unemployment from April to May coupled with upticks in industries including retail, automotive, and hospitality, as people start returning to work,” Glaser said in an email.

“Though May’s unemployment rate (8.9%) for the state is still almost double that of last year’s (4.8%), its quick rebound signals a strong optimism for a return to pre-COVID levels in the coming months,” she said.

But while the outlook is optimistic, the gains are not being enjoyed evenly, said Elise Gould, senior economist for the Economic Policy Institute, who said white workers are benefiting disproportionately.

“An increase in jobs is a positive sign but a concern that isn’t broadly shared is the Black unemployment rate showed no improvement nationally, it actually increased,” Gould said.

Dbacks ready to play ball in shortened season

BY JORDAN ROGERS Cronkite News

When Major League Baseball canceled the remainder of spring training games on March 12 in response to the coronavirus pandemic, it was with the initial hope of holding Opening Day for the 2020 season on April 9.

That hope never manifested, as the spread of the coronavirus forced the league and its players into a labor dispute that lasted just shy of three months.

After much back and forth between MLB and the MLBPA, the two sides managed to strike a deal.

Finally, it was decided, there will be baseball in 2020.

“I can’t wait to compete and have our players compete,” Diamondbacks Executive Vice President and General Manager Mike Hazen said June 25. “The hardest part of this has been the team we put together in the offseason getting paused and not getting to see those guys go out there as a team. They tell us to play, we’re going to go out there and compete. We have a good team, and I’m glad we’re going to be able to bring baseball to a lot of people.”

Teams are to report to a “Spring Training 2.0” at their home facilities on July 1 to begin preparing for a 60-game season that will begin on July 23.

The Diamondbacks’ schedule will feature 10 games against each club in the National League West. The remaining games will be played against clubs playing in their opposite league’s corresponding geographical division in order to mitigate travel. For the Diamondbacks, that means playing against teams in the American League West, setting

up entertaining matchups with the rival Los Angeles Dodgers and the 2019 American League champion Houston Astros.

In an effort to finish games more quickly, every half-inning after the ninth will begin with a runner on second base, USA Today reported. The designated runner would be the player who made the final out in the previous half-inning.

On top of that, the designated hitter will be utilized in the National League for the first time in 2020. Thus far, neither of these rule changes has been extended past this upcoming season.

A huge divider between the owners and players was the monetary aspect of a shortened season. The new deal includes a full prorated salary for the players, meaning they will receive just 37% of their full-season salary as long as the suggested schedule is played in full.

The two sides also had to agree to

The Glendale

health and safety protocols for the season. Spitting, smokeless tobacco and sunflower seeds will not be allowed.

Gum will be permitted.

A ban on physical contact between players, coaches, managers and athletic trainers will also be in place. This includes high fives, fist bumps and the “baseball hug.”

In order to limit the spread of the coronavirus, anyone recording a temperature above 100.4 degrees will not be permitted to enter any ballpark and will need to self-isolate.

“We all understand that we are in a unique time and place that none of us have ever experienced before,” Hazen said. “I believe that these protocols are exceedingly restrictive in a lot of positive ways to minimize the spread of the virus and to identify those early that may be positive for the virus.”

The typical 10-day injured list will remain in place for the season, but a new

tar

COVID-19-related injured list for players who test positive, have confirmed exposure or are exhibiting symptoms will be added. Those players would not have a specific number of days to spend on that list. Testing on players will take place multiple times per week, and any positive return would warrant quarantining and players would not be able to return to action until they pass tests twice.

Postseason play would begin Sept.

29, leading to a World Series start date of Oct. 20, something Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, advised against.

“If the question is time, I would try to keep it in the core summer months and end it not with the way we play the World Series, until the end of October when it’s cold,” Fauci said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times.

“Even in warm weather, like in Arizona and California, we’re starting to see resurgences as we open up. But I think the chances of there being less of an issue in the end of July and all of August and September are much, much better than if you go into October.”

Needless to say, many questions are left to be answered headed into a season that is sure to be full of the unknown.

But we do know one thing: Baseball is back.

“In any run of baseball in a short season, chaos can ensue,” Hazen said. “I’m excited for it. I think it is going to be fantastic. Would it be better if we were playing 162 (games)? Yeah, but that sailed a long time ago. I think it is going to be high intensity.”

Chef Jibriel rises above adversity: ‘My dreams are chasing me’

BY BRIAN CANO SR.

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

A chef could be defined as an expert in the field of the culinary arts. A chef might be characterized as a trained professional who transforms food into edible art.

But “chef” hardly defines a 24-yearold who would overcome traumatic life-changing events, learning culinary skills to help overcome tragedy.

“I have worked extremely hard to overcome the adversities I was exposed to at a very young age to graduate from high school, and take it a step forward,” Jibriel Saunders said.

Saunders, a 2013 Peoria High School graduate, said his affection for cuisine started when he was kid. He said it was a way to temporarily “escape” the childhood trauma, which had taken hold of his life.

“My brother and step-brother were gunned down in a drive-by shooting in

Oakland, California,” Saunders said.

Saunders said the killings prompted his family to relocate to Arizona. He said that after moving to Arizona the family received further catastrophic news.

“Within a year after we moved to Arizona, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Saunders said. “During my mother’s battle with breast cancer, my sister was diagnosed with leukemia.”

Saunders said by the time he was 10, his brothers were dead. He said he knew he would soon be without his mother and sister. He said it felt like his whole world was falling apart.

Coping

Saunders said the family kitchen was where he felt liberated from sadness. It is where he developed a genuine passion for cooking—feeling that carried over into his teens.

“I really found a passion for culinary

as soon as I got into high school,” Saunders said.

He said Peoria High School Culinary Arts teacher Barbara Saltzman-Carey inspired him to further refine his skills.

“I learned so much from the teachers at Peoria High School. I greatly appreciate them and the Peoria High School culture,” Saunders said. “As an institution, they won’t let you fail.”

Saunders said that after graduating he accepted a scholarship to Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale.

During his time at EMCC, Saunders studied culinary arts under the watchful eye of former White House Executive Chef Jon Hill.

These days, Saunders has a lot on his plate. He is a full-time chef, actor and community activist.

Saunders said Bombay’s Creations, his private chef company, was thriving SEE CHEF PAGE 25

Award-winning biographer returning as Glendale Writer in Residence

Award-winning author Katrina Shawver has returned for a second stint as the Writer in Residence at the Glendale Public Library for the summer.

Shawver has won numerous international awards for “Henry: A Polish Swimmer’s True Story of Friendship from Auschwitz to America,” her meticulously researched biography of Henry Zguda, a Polish swimming champion who was imprisoned in two Nazi concentration camps and eventually defected from communist Poland in 1956 at the height of the Cold War with the help of friends he met in Buchenwald.

Shawver met Zguda, who moved to Phoenix in 1980, a short time before his death in 2003 and became so intrigued with his stories of Nazi terror in Poland before and during World War II that she spent 15 years researching the Nazis’ occupation of Poland, visiting libraries

Black Bottom Lighters start ‘Runnin’’

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor

Black Bottom Lighters singer Ryan Stilwell just wants to provide for his family. He knows he’s not different from anyone else, but he tells the story differently than others.

The band’s new song “Runnin’” is a desert-reggae ode to that.

“It’s about basically a time in my life when my wife and I had a new baby and we were transitioning in our lives,” he said. “It’s not just me but the whole band and our fans. We’re all growing together.

“It’s a very relatable topic of just doing what we have to do to get food on the table and provide for the family.

That’s what it embodies.”

Like most Black Bottom Lighters songs, “Runnin’” isn’t a downer.

“We made the music more upbeat and playful so it’s not taken so seriously,” he said with a laugh. “That’s what we try to live by. We can’t take everything so seriously.”

The song was to be featured in the band’s set when it played Wasted Grain in Scottsdale on July 3. However, that show was postponed until Friday, Aug. 14, due to the bar’s month-long closure.

Black Bottom Lighters—which features Stilwell of Waddell; keyboardist Kelyn Weaver Bo of Phoenix; bassist Jose Aquino of Peoria; rhythm guitarist Mike Proctor; lead guitarist Phil Keiser of Cave Creek and drummer Ryan McPhatter of Cottonwood—stayed busy during the pandemic and quarantine. They devoted themselves to writing and getting back to their roots.

“We couldn’t travel as much with the pandemic, so why not?” Stilwell said. “Our focus is to continue being creative. We have quite a few songs in our back pocket that we’re sitting on. We have a little ways left to go on them, but one or two of them are fully written. We’re going to mix and master them and start packaging it as an EP and get the concept down.”

For the past few years, the band has jumped around from studio to studio, just trying to spread its musical wings

and bring diversity to Black Bottom Lighters. One notable collaborator was Mike Bolenbach at Full Well Recording Studio in Phoenix.

“The guys are super, super talented already,” Bolenbach said. “They bring well-written songs to the studio and they’re all excellent musicians. I just try to capture the essence of the band.

“The band’s vibe is great, too. We just try to capture what they are as honestly as we can.”

The recording process for “Runnin’” was different from other projects in that Black Bottom Lighters experimented with the musicians being in separate rooms but recording live.

“The live sound is, to be honest, why a lot of people like to come see our shows,” Stilwell said. “We have high energy and live vibes. We got that idea from working with Pepper in Redondo Beach. We were in the same room there, but there was a lot of bleeding through the mic. If we’re in separate rooms and playing at the same time, it’s a lot cleaner.”

Black Bottom Lighters were in Redondo Beach to record the song “The Get Back” at Pepper’s Kona Town Recording.

Stilwell has fantasized about a music career since he was young, attending his first concert (Brooks and Dunn and Shania Twain) with his family as a child in Litchfield Park.

“It was awesome,” he said, smiling.

“The first concert that was my choice was Slightly Stoopid and G. Love.

That changed my whole outlook on live music. They’re a jam band, and a lot of the songs you hear on the album a completely different live. Every single night, they do something different.

“I always thought sounding like the album was the best way to sound. In our industry, it’s better to do what you feel. It makes the live aspect way more real.”

A pitcher for Millennium High School’s baseball team, Stilwell didn’t take music seriously until he gave up the sport at Eastern Arizona University.

“After baseball had come and gone, I was working a 9-to-5 and I was laid off,” he said. “I figured I would start a band. It ended up working.”

Founded in 2010, Black Bottom Lighters gained a reputation around town for its house parties. Its fulllength debut, “2 or 2,000,” is telling.

“Our first album was ‘2 or 2,000,’” Stilwell said. “It doesn’t matter how many people are there or what the occasion is, we’re going on that stage and put it all out there no matter who’s out there, no matter where we are.”

In 2016, the band released the EP “Pipe Dream,” which features the track “Peace, Love & Smoke Rings” with Layzie Bone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Black Bottom Lighters toured

the United States in support of the single and have continued to do so.

“We’re grown with our fanbase, and it’s time to transition into the next chapter of our lives,” Stilwell said. “I’d like to just remain as close as possible with the guys and really just continue to push our creativity and see where the music takes us.”

Supreme Court expands ‘sex discrimination’ to protect LGBTQ workers

BY BRETT BAVCEVIC Cronkite News

The Supreme Court ruled last week that the Civil Rights Act protections against “sex discrimination” also protect gay or transgender employees from discrimination, even if they are not specifically mentioned in the 1964 law.

The long-awaited ruling involved three separate cases of workers who were fired, two because they were gay and one who was hired as a male but fired after telling the company “she planned to ‘live and work full time as a woman.’”

Advocates in Arizona like Angela Hughey, executive director of One Community in Phoenix, hailed the 6-3 decision as “an important step forward for equality.”

“But it is also a powerful reminder of how much work is left to do to ensure gay and transgender Arizonans have equal protections in all facets of life, including housing; health care; and in public accommodations like restaurants, stores, hotels and more,” Hughey said.

But critics agreed with the dissenting justices on the case, who accused the majority of overstepping its authority by equating sex-discrimination protections with LGBTQ protections.

John Bursch, an attorney with Scottsdale-based Alliance Defending Freedom, said the court’s ruling will “create chaos and enormous unfairness.”

principle,” said Bursch, who argued one of three cases before the high court in October.

There was no question that the three employers involved—a funeral home in Michigan, a sky-diving school in New York and a child welfare agency in Georgia—fired the three workers for their sexual orientation or gender identity. But they challenged the workers’ right to use Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which prohibited workplace discrimination on the basis of “race, color, religion, sex or national origin.”

Lower courts split on the question, with two circuit courts saying the “sex discrimination” protections did apply and one saying it did not.

Justice Neil Gorsuch, writing for the majority in the 6-3 decision, said June 22 the Title VII protection must apply because it is “impossible to discriminate against a person for being homo-

sexual or transgender without discriminating against that individual based on sex.”

“Today, we must decide whether an employer can fire someone simply for being homosexual or transgender,” Gorsuch wrote. “The answer is clear.

Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids.”

But in separate dissents that together were four times as long as the majority’s 33-page ruling, Justices Samuel Alito and Brett Kavanaugh accused the majority of making law that Congress has repeatedly declined to do.”

“The question in this case boils down to the ordinary meaning of the phrase ‘discriminate because of sex,’” Kavanaugh wrote. “Does the ordinary meaning of that phrase encompass discrimination because of sexual orientation?

The answer is plainly no.”

Alito was more direct.

“There is only one word for what the court has done today: legislation,” he wrote in a dissent joined by Justice Clarence Thomas. “The document that the court releases is in the form of a judicial opinion interpreting a statute, but that is deceptive.”

Alito and Kavanaugh said lawmakers could not have envisioned protecting gay rights or transgender rights when they passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964—when transgender issues were barely known. But advocates said the ruling is long overdue.

“What an amazing day,” said Gerald

Bostock, the only surviving plaintiff from the original three discrimination cases. “For me, it’s been a long seven-year process.”

Bostock was working as a child welfare advocate for Clayton County, Georgia, which won national awards under his leadership. But he was fired for conduct “unbecoming” a county employee shortly after joining a gay softball league.

“I did nothing wrong, and I now have validation from the United States Supreme Court,” Bostock said after the June 22 ruling. “But, we share this victory together as a community, and I learned early on that this was more than just about my own personal circumstances, that it impacts so many people across this country.”

Rep. Raul Grijalva, a Democrat who represents parts of Avondale, Goodyear and Buckeye, called the ruling “a stunning rebuke of the Trump administration, which has consistently devalued LGBTQ lives while actively using the levers of justice and policy against them.”

At least one business group welcomed the decision, however, saying that “the economy works best when employees can be who they are, without fear of bias, discrimination and inequality.”

“Business Roundtable endorsed the Equality Act to ensure that employees are protected from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity,” said a statement from the group. “Today’s decisions in Bostock v. Clayton County is an important step forward in the effort to ensure equality and fairness in the workplace.”

Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David said the next step will be passing the Equality Act, introduced in 2019, which would provide consistent and explicit non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people across key areas of life.

“We still need to address significant gaps in federal civil rights laws and improve protections for everyone. The mechanism to do that is the Equality Act,” David said. “We need to make sure that LGBTQ people are free of discrimination in all aspects of life.”

COVID-19 creating communication barriers for deaf community

BY HALEY LORENZEN Cronkite News

For many people who are deaf or hard of hearing, lip reading, facial expressions and body language are vital to communication, but protective face masks and remote work and school meant to slow the spread of COVID-19 have made it more difficult.

More than 1.1 million people in Arizona are hard of hearing, and more than 20,000 are deaf, according to the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing.

“That’s a large percent of us in the state,” said the commission’s executive director, Sherri Collins. “You think about communication, and why it’s so important that information and access is critical for that 1.1 million people that we serve.”

Collins, who is deaf, has served 22 years as the executive director of the state commission, which works with organizations throughout the state to provide services for people who are deaf, deaf-blind or hard of hearing. The commission also oversees the licensing of American Sign Language interpreters.

Commission staff members have transitioned to a fully remote work environment, Collins said, and the change has worked out well for the staff, with Zoom meetings, interpreters and captioning.

“The only thing that’s lacking is the interaction with the face to face,” she said.

However, the transition for other deaf individuals has been more challenging.

Ronda Moriarty is an ASL instructor who has taught at Arizona State University, Mesa Community College and Phoenix College. She also works as an ASL Master for Netflix.

“The internet is great to have; it was very beneficial when teaching my class.

ple in a hospital setting.

Despite the law, interpreters often are missing from important news conferences. In March, the National Association for the Deaf wrote a letter to the White House expressing concern about the lack of an ASL interpreter at public COVID-19 briefings.

“From the first White House press conference on this coronavirus, the NAD has received daily complaints from deaf and hard of hearing citizens across the country asking why their president is not ensuring they are getting the same access to emergency information as everyone else,” wrote Howard A. Rosenblum, the association’s chief executive officer.

In April, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was sued for not providing an ASL interpreter during his televised briefings.

“Some states do a good job with providing an interpreter and captioning,” Greenlee said, “but other states have been slower to respond. Still today, the president doesn’t have an ASL interpreter.

The deaf community is very social, she said, which means isolation can be another big challenge.

“We get together a lot. With the stayat-home order, some of us are alone.

Some of us live with hearing people who sign or don’t sign; some of us are having a hard time with that isolation.”

Even so, some in the deaf community have turned to video conferencing apps for social events.

“It can be hard for friends to get together,” Moriarty said, “but we had Zoom get-togethers. We had a few happy hours, had some drinks. One good thing about Zoom happy hour is no one is drinking and driving, right? So that’s good!”

The nonsensical option of sawing off the limb you’re sitting on The title of this article is quite a concept, isn’t it? Sometimes we get blinded to the reality that the things we do today can affect tomorrow adversely and painfully. Creating a comfortable but unwise present has a real possibility of sacrificing tomorrow’s future.

Here are three short stories that illustrate the concept of what I will address today. I call it “sawing off the limb you’re sitting on.”

A story is told of a dog walking across a bridge with a bone in his mouth. When he looked down into the river and saw his reflection, he thought it was another dog with a bigger bone.

He jumped in the river to get the big bone and drowned. Jealous and envious people often make choices that have severe consequences. That dog sawed off the limb he was sitting on.

Often, people do the same.

Here’s another story that illustrates the concept of sawing off the limb you’re sitting on. An elderly woman died recently. Having never married, she requested no male pallbearers. In her hand-written instructions for her memorial service, she wrote, “They

wouldn’t take me out while I was alive, I don’t want them to take me out when I’m dead.” That’s called spite from disappointment. As Jane Austin would say, spite is a “most disagreeable alternative” for everyone.

Here’s the third example. In a Brooklyn upscale pet shop, an elderly lady burst into the store. “I want to buy a canary, but it’s got to be a real good singer. I’ve got cash, but I’m paying only for a good singer.” The shop owner began moving a ladder toward a small cage on a shelf about 15 feet up, near the ceiling. “Ma’am, I have 40 years in this business. In this birdcage is the best singer I’ve ever had.”

“Don’t think I’m going to feel obligated to pay for something I don’t want just because you’re climbing up a ladder like a monkey. I want a canary,

but it’s got to be the best singer around.”

As the shopkeeper came down from the ladder, he said, “Ma’am, this bird is a veritable feathered Caruso!”

Placing the cage on the counter, the canary burst into melody after melody.

Awed, the woman murmured, “This bird is really a good singer.”

Suddenly, the woman noticed something. She screamed at the shopkeeper.

“Hey, what’s with you? This bird only has one leg.” The pet store owner was perturbed. “Lady, what do you want, a singer or a dancer?”

Isn’t it a shame that she couldn’t see the miracle because of her ungratefulness caused by her unrealistic expectations? She didn’t want a bird that could sing like Caruso; she wanted a perfect bird that could sing like Caruso. She missed the opportunity of a lifetime.

She sawed off the limb she was sitting on as far as wanting a one-in-a-million, singing bird. That’s nonsensical.

Remember, when you’re out on a limb, try not to saw yourself off from the tree holding you up. You see this concept in action time and time again in families and marriages. Many times, the ones who love us the most are the ones we cut ourselves off from. That is like winning the battle but losing the war. To do that is to oppose yourself.

Opposing yourself is nonsensical.

Be mindful in these present chaotic times not to get into a situation where you saw off the limb you are sitting on.

Unfortunately, many people are going to do that. Here’s one example of 100 that I could use. Rather than peacefully marching to bring awareness of racism (which is needed at this time), some ultra-angry marchers will end up with a toxic police record from pillaging stores.

There’s a difference between a peaceful protest march and a riot with

robbery. Good things, taken to extremes, become bad things. This type of behavior turns off the audience they wish to reach. And, for the rest of their lives, they will have that police record, with repercussions that could affect their future. That’s the truth about consequences.

Think about it. Will what I am currently thinking, deciding on or planning undermine what I want to do and where I want to go in the future? Or am I getting caught up in the drama, urgency or emotion of the moment, taking me to places I don’t want to go.

The question to ask yourself when making important decisions is not, “Is this decision or option legal?” The question to ask yourself is, “In light of my past history, my current situation and my future goals and desires, is this option or decision wise?” If it’s not wise and not legal, I would suggest you stay away from it. Don’t saw off the limb you’re sitting on.

Many today are leaving God out of their life and lifestyle. Please don’t do that. Don’t let current trends, issues and philosophy saw you off from the tree (God) who loves you the most and the tree (God again) you need the most. That is a “most disagreeable alternative” indeed.

It doesn’t matter how fast you run if you’re going in the wrong direction.

Jane Austen would say it this way, “Use your sensibility when your sense is nonsensical.”

PUSD surveys show mixed feelings about online learning

BY ERIN BRASSEY

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Parents, students and teachers had mixed feelings about remote learning in the spring semester, according to Peoria Unified School District surveys.

Online learning is expected to be part of PUSD’s return-to-school plan, though details have not been finalized.

Chief Operations Officer Shawn Duguid said the district saw a strong response rate, with 8,936 parents, 2,395 students and 1,676 teachers or administrators responses.

About 41% of parents, students and teachers agreed or strongly agreed that the at-home education was a success.

Students had the most positive responses, with 63% agreeing or strongly agreeing that their online learning was a success.

Teachers had the least amount of positive responses, with 32% agreeing or strongly agreeing.

Among parents, 37% of parents said at-home education was a success.

But 17% of students, 37% of teachers and 42% of parents did not feel online learning was a success.

In general, the surveys saw positive responses in regards to communication, accessibility to each other and social connections.

In response to the statement “I receive updates and continual communi-

cation from my child’s school,” about 87% of parents and teachers responded that they agree or strongly agree.

Breaking that down between groups, the totals were rather close, with 90% of teachers and administrators and 86% of parents responding positively.

Every group, including teachers themselves, felt teachers were accessible to students and able to provide good feedback to students.

Among teachers, 71% said they agreed or strongly agreed that they were able to provide “positive, adequate feedback” to their students.

Students and parents shared more

positive responses, with 81% of students and 79% of parents agreeing or strongly agreeing that teachers were accessible for questions and providing good feedback.

When it came down to a social connection to the school, parents were most on the fence as to whether or not it was effective.

Fifty-six percent of parents agreed or strongly agreed that the schools took steps to create a social community for students even during remote learning.

Students had a slightly higher positive response rate, with 66% of respondents agreeing or strongly agreeing.

Teachers and administrators had the highest positive response rate, where 75% of respondents said that the schools took steps to keep them connected to students and colleagues.

Although some respondents felt they saw positive results, the surveys also showed that none of the remote learning was without problems.

Every group responded that math was the most difficult subject to learn remotely.

Also, even though it is a smaller percentage, some respondents in every group felt they didn’t have access to the internet or technology needed to successfully complete their online learning.

In total, about 20% of parents, students and teachers felt that they did not have access to the technology needed to have a successful online learning experience.

Those are some issues Duguid said the task force deciding on how to run schools in the fall needs to solve should the district continue with hybrid or full online education in the fall.

Duguid said the task force is reviewing the survey responses to guide decision making.

Options for the fall semester will continue to be discussed at a study session with the PUSD board July 1 with a decision planned July 9.

Boys and Girls Clubs have new protocols for a summer of safety and fun

BY ERIN BRASSEY

Glendale Star Staff Writer

West Valley Boys and Girls Club locations are open this summer to support their families, though with changes in protocol due to COVID-19.

“It’s a relatively typical experience but with a lot more precautions and a lot more cleaning,” said Cassidy Campana, vice president of communications and external affairs.

To start each day, members at all locations, including those open in the West Valley, will scan in as usual.

Then they will wash their hands and have their temperatures taken.

Any member or staff with a temperature above 100.4 degrees or visible signs of sickness will not be allowed to continue into the club for the day. For those who come in, they will be kept in groups of nine kids per activity and spread throughout the facility to adhere to social distancing requirements.

Other protocols involve the members washing their hands or applying hand sanitizer throughout the day as well as frequent cleaning of the building and frequently touched surfaces.

Maricopa County requires masks in public, as of June 20.

With these protocols in place, she said, “We can be that place where they can have a little bit of school, have some fun, have some physical activity and be safe.”

West Valley locations include Littleton and Tri-City West in Avondale,

E. EPCOR and City agree and acknowledge that the Recitals set forth above are true and correct and are by this reference incorporated herein.

AGREEMENT NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this agreement, the parties, each intending to be legally bound by this agreement, hereby agree as follows: Grant of Franchise A. Utility will present the desired franchise (“Franchise”) to the City’s governing body and file it with City Clerk after entry of a final order granting Utility an extension of its Certificates of Convenience and Necessity (“CC&Ns”) by the Arizona Corporation Commission that grants Utility the exclusive right to provide Utility Services in an area within the Subject Territory.

B. If the City’s governing body deems the granting of the Franchise beneficial to the City, it will pass a resolution and thereafter submit the Franchise to the qualified electors as to whether the Franchise should be granted at the next regular election held in the City or at a special election called for approving the Franchise. The City will not call a special election for approving the Franchise without the consent of EPCOR. The Franchise election will be called and conducted in accordance with applicable law.

C. EPCOR will be responsible for all costs incurred by the City for holding a general election to approve the Franchise, provided that such costs will not be unreasonably incurred by the City. If other items, measures, initiatives or candidates are placed on the same ballot as the Franchise, the City will equitably apportion only those costs attributable to the election of the Franchise to EPCOR. D. The City will invoice the estimated cost of the general election for the Franchise (“Estimated Cost”) within 60 days after the filing of the Franchise with the Glendale City Clerk. EPCOR will promptly pay the City the estimated cost within 30 days after receiving the invoice. The City will reconcile the actual general election cost attributable to the Franchise (“Actual Cost”) Within 60 days after the Franchise vote in a general election. EPCOR will promptly pay the City the difference between the Estimated Cost and the Actual Cost if the Actual Cost exceeds the Estimated Cost. The City will promptly refund EPCOR the difference between the Actual Cost and the Estimated Cost if the Actual Cost is less than the Estimated Cost.

E. The Franchise filed by Utility, at a minimum, must contain the following provisions: 1. Franchise Agreement.

This franchise is hereby granted by City to EPCOR, a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of Arizona, and conveys to EPCOR the right and privilege to construct, maintain, and operate within the present and future public rights-of-way (including – but not limited to – streets, alleyways, highways, and bridges) in the Franchised Area (as defined below) in Glendale, Arizona, a potable water delivery system and a wastewater collection system, together with certain appurtenances (including – but not limited to – transmission mains, distribution and collection mains, service lines, fire hydrants, meters, and equipment for its own use) for the purpose of supplying potable water and wastewater services to City, its successors, the inhabitants thereof, and all individuals and entities within or beyond the limits thereof (collectively, the “Served Population”), and for collecting wastewater from the Served Population, in each case for all purposes for which it is duly authorized by its CC&Ns (“Franchise”). For purposes of this Franchise, the “Franchised Area” shall consist of those portions of the area within the then effective borders of City that are also within the boundaries of any of EPCOR’s then effective CC&Ns, as granted by the Commission. The Franchised Area as of the date of this Franchise provides the ability to construct, maintain and operate its system, as defined herein, upon, over, along, across and under the present and future public rights-of-way. These rights-of-way include but are not limited to streets, alleys, ways and highways in the City of Glendale, Arizona (herein called “City”).This Franchise is for EPCOR’s use of City’s public rights-of-way to supply and deliver safe, adequate and reliable water treatment, transmission, and distribution services, and to provide safe and reliable wastewater collection, transmission and treatment services to City, its successors, the in-

habitants thereof, and all individuals and entities either within or beyond the limits thereof, for all purposes.

All such transmission mains, distribution and collection mains, and service lines shall be located underground unless otherwise approved by City. EPCOR shall not construct wells, well sites, storage, or pumping facilities in the public rights-of-way. Nothing herein shall be construed to permit EPCOR to maintain any portion of its potable water delivery system or wastewater collection system, or appurtenances thereto, in any manner which would adversely affect or interfere in any way, as determined by City in its sole discretion, with City’s use of the public rights-of-way for its intended use; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude reasonable temporary interference necessitated by EPCOR’s repair or maintenance of those facilities. City acknowledges and agrees that all of EPCOR’s infrastructure located within the Franchised Area as of the date of this Franchise complies with the foregoing or is otherwise acceptable in its current location to City.

2. EPCOR’s Compliance with Requirements; Plans Submitted for Approval; City Construction near EPCOR’s Facilities.

A. The quality of water treatment, transmission, and distribution services, and of the wastewater collection, transmission and treatment services provided by EPCOR shall comply with the requirements of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality, Arizona Corporation Commission, Arizona Department of Health Services, and the Maricopa County Department of Environmental Health Services.

B. All construction under this Franchise shall be performed in accordance with established practices for City with respect to such public rights-of-way. Before EPCOR makes any major installations in the public rights-of-way, EPCOR shall submit for approval any applicable permit applications and a map showing the location of such proposed installations to City. When time does not permit prior application for a permit and repairs to EPCOR’s facilities are reasonably required, EPCOR first may institute and complete the repairs and then complete and file the applicable permit application. In this case, telephone notification of the repair will be given as soon as practicable to the contact person designated by City. Within ninety (90) days after the approval of this Franchise by the Mayor and Council of City, EPCOR shall submit to City’s City Manager a map showing the true and correct location of all present installations of EPCOR within City’s rights-of-way. If City undertakes, either directly or through a contractor, any construction project adjacent to or near EPCOR’s facilities operated pursuant to this Franchise and for the relocation of which City is required hereunder to pay, City shall include in all such construction specifications, bids, and contracts a requirement that as part of the cost of the project, the contractor or contractor’s designee obtain from EPCOR the temporary or permanent removal, relocation and barricading of equipment, and depressurization of EPCOR’s facilities or equipment, all as necessary to avoid the creation of an unsafe condition in view of the equipment to be utilized or the methods of construction to be followed by the contractor.

C. Mapping Requirement. EPCOR shall maintain As-Built Drawings of its facilities located within the ROW and furnish a copy both electronically in a mapping format compatible with the current City electronic mapping format as specified by the City and in hard copy form.

3. Construction and Relocation of EPCOR’s Facilities: Payment.

EPCOR shall keep accurate records of the location of all facilities in the public right-of-way and furnish them to City upon request. Upon completion of new or relocation construction of underground facilities in the public right-of-way, EPCOR shall provide City with corrected drawings showing the actual location of the underground facilities in those cases where the actual location differs significantly from the proposed location approved in the permit plans.

B. If City requires EPCOR to relocate EPCOR’s facilities that are located in private easements or private rights-of-way from which the facilities must be relocated, the entire cost of relocating EPCOR’s facilities (including the cost of purchasing a new private easement or right-of-way, if necessary) shall be borne by City. City shall not be obligated to bear such costs under this paragraph B if, prior to City’s acquisition of such right-of-way, either: (i) EPCOR subordinated its easement or right-of-way in such a manner that the person from whom City acquired the right-of-way would not have been obligated to bear any costs of such relocation, or (ii) EPCOR did not in fact obtain such easement or right-of-way.

C. Except as covered in Paragraphs B or D of this section, EPCOR shall bear the entire cost of relocating its facilities located on public rights-of-way.

D. If the City, at its expense, has previously required EPCOR to relocate its facilities in a particular area, and EPORC desires to again relocate these facilities, EPCOR shall bear the entire cost of such relocation. City will bear the entire cost of relocating any of EPCOR’s facilities, the relocation of which is necessitated by the construction of improvements by, or on behalf of, City in furtherance of a proprietary function.

E. Prior Occupancy. Provided that anything contained herein does not interfere with EPCOR’s obligation to provide safe and reliable water and wastewater service, any privilege claimed under this Franchise by EPCOR in any Public Street or other public property is subordinate to any: (a) prior or subsequent lawful occupancy or use thereof by the City or any other governmental entity; (b) prior lawful occupancy or use thereof by any other Person; and (c) prior easements therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing subordination provision, nothing herein extinguishes or otherwise interferes with property rights established independently of this Franchise.

F. If City participates in the cost of relocating EPCOR’s facilities for any reason, the cost of relocation to City shall not include any additional cost resulting from any upgrade or improvement of EPCOR’s facilities as they existed prior to relocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if EPCOR requests, in connection with any such relocation by City, any upgrade or improvement of the affected EPCOR’s facilities, City will in good faith consider such request, subject in each case to EPCOR’s agreement to reimburse City for the actual, additional costs incurred by City for the requested upgrade or improvement. City will deliver to EPCOR documentation reasonably satisfactory to EPCOR to evidence the actual, additional cost of such upgrades and improvements.

G. Subject to the provisions of the foregoing paragraphs 3 (B), (C), and (D) regarding the cost of relocation of EPCOR’s facilities, EPCOR’s right to retain its facilities in their original location is subject to the paramount right of City to use its public rights-of-way for all permitted purposes, which shall include, but shall in no way be limited to, the following functions of City: i. Any and all improvement to City streets, alleys, and avenues; ii. Establishing and maintaining sanitary sewers, storm drains, drainage structures, and related facilities; iii.

A. Street Repair. If EPCOR causes damage to pavement, sidewalks, driveways, landscaping, or other property during construction, installation, or repair of its facilities, EPCOR or its authorized agent shall replace and restore such places as nearly as possible to its original condition that existed before the damage occurred. If the repair, replacement or restoration cannot replicate the site’s original condition, EPCOR shall return the site to a condition that approximates the original condition and compensate the City for any difference.

All repair and restoration necessary to meet the requirements set forth in this Section shall be at EPCOR’s expense and shall be conducted in a manner acceptable to the City, in its sole unreviewable discretion. For any pavement or sidewalk cuts by EPCOR, EPCOR agrees to restore the pavement or sidewalks.

B. Damage to Public Property. In addition to any indemnity obligation under this Franchise, whenever the installation, use, maintenance, removal, or relocation of any of EPCOR facilities are required or permitted hereunder, and such installation, removal or relocation damages or disturbs the surface or subsurface of any ROW or public property or any public improvement that may be located thereon, therein, or thereunder, however such damage or disturbance was caused, EPCOR, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly restore the surface or subsurface of the ROW or public property and/or repair or replace the surface, subsurface and/or public improvement therein, or thereunder, in as good a condition as before in accordance with applicable laws, normal wear and tear excepted, reasonably satisfactory to the City Engineer.

The City shall provide written notice to EPCOR of the repairs as soon as practicable after the work has begun. EPCOR agrees that any damaged City-owned Conduit or fiber must be replaced or repaired and restored with new or like-new materials. If the City needs to perform any part of the necessary repairs, relocation and/or removal work, it shall be entitled to seek payment for such repairs and/ or relocation and/or removal costs from EPCOR Upon the receipt of a demand for payment by City, EPCOR shall, within thirty (30) days, reimburse City for such costs. In the event of a public emergency, neither the City nor any agent, contractor or employee of the City shall be liable to EPCOR or its Contractors or its customers or other third parties for any harm so caused to them by the reasonable actions of the City or its agents, contractors or employees in reasonably responding to such public emergency. When practical and if possible, City will consult with EPCOR in advance to assess the necessity of such actions and to minimize, to the extent practical under the circumstances, damage to and disruption of either the public property involved or the EPCOR’s facilities involved.

C.i. EPCOR Facilities / Cooperation with City. If any of EPCOR’s facilities or activities present any immediate hazard or impediment to the public, to the City, to other City improvements or activities within or outside of the Route, or to City’s ability to safely and conveniently operate the ROW or perform City’s utility, public safety and/or other public health, safety and welfare functions, then EPCOR shall immediately remedy the hazard, comply with City’s request to secure the route area, and otherwise cooperate with City at no expense to City to remove any such hazard or impediment.
