Valley’s Nicholas Balboa recalls condo collapse BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor

Health & Wellness Guide

NEWS...............8 Walmart gives back to local nonprofits

Nicholas Balboa shrugs off any suggestion that he’s brave. The former Glendale resident was walking his dog in Surfside, Florida, outside of Miami, when Champlain Towers South collapsed a block away from him. He felt the ground shake and went to investigate. It was then he heard the cries of a teenage boy and other victims buried in the rubble. “It was something I wasn’t expecting,” Balboa said. “In that moment, you see it and it doesn’t register that a building just fell. It’s an inanimate object, but there people inside. I was still processing. I began to take photos, and I got closer to the building. As I got closer, I could hear people yelling and screaming in the debris.”

Balboa responded to the 15-year-old boy, Jonah Handler, who raised his hand through the rubble. Balboa told Jonah he would find first responders. “He said, ‘Please don’t leave me. Please don’t leave me. Please don’t leave me,’” Balboa recalled. “I grabbed my ﬂashlight and ﬂashed it toward the first responders to get their attention. “A police officer came over to me and told me to get back. I told him there was somebody here. I led the police officer to him and then the officer called over firefighters and they began their extraction.” Jonah’s 54-year-old mother, Stacie

Starting next week, billboards, social media, television and print media will carry messages urging thousands of Valley motorists, including those in the West Valley, to prepare for four years of disruptions in their driving routines. It’s not exactly Armageddon that the Arizona Department of Transportation will be heralding, but it certainly won’t be a walk in the park either, especially for car and truck traffic on I-10. West Valley motorists who need to get to the other side of the county or Phoe-

nix Sky Harbor International Airport can expect significant increases in traffic as motorists try to evade the inevitable tie-ups that will be caused by the I-10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project. “There’s no way to sugarcoat it,” said ADOT spokeswoman Kim Noetzel, who, as an Ahwatukee resident, is bracing for the project. “It’s going to be impactful.” SEE ADOT PAGE 4

Dawn Fang, was rescued as well, but she died after being taken to the hospital for treatment. Jonah was one of two survivors in what’s been called the deadliest unintentional building collapse in the United States. The building was quickly demolished 11 days later due to the impending arrival of Hurricane Elsa. On July 7, the search transitioned from rescue to recovery, and the missing victims are presumed dead. Balboa, who attended Chapparal, Pinnacle and Boulder Creek high schools, transferred to Primavera High School so he could pursue a career in motocross.

“I ended up doing motocross full time,” Balboa said. “The dream was to go pro, but once you realize the economics behind it., it’s not feasible.

It’s a money pit, and only a handful of people really get to go pro and make money.” Balboa, 31, has been in Florida since Memorial Day, when he left the Valley after the end of a seven-year relationship. “I was using it just for ‘me’ time,” he said. “All of a sudden, we had a death in the family on Father’s Day. Three days later was Surfside. “Sadly, the operation has changed from a rescue to a recovery. I think, at this point, they’ve basically said nobody was going to come out alive.”

Seven years in the planning, the work is ready to begin as crews scrape the asphalt along 11 miles of Interstate 10 between the junction of the San Tan and South Mountain freeways and I-17 near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Motorists will soon start feeling the impact later this year as work picks up steam on a project aimed at preventing virtually round-the-clock rush-hour gridlock on I-10 in the heart of Maricopa County. “When the first phase of construction begins this summer, drivers should prepare for weekend closures on I-10 and U.S. 60,” ADOT spokeswoman Alexandra Albert said in a virtual briefing last week for Tempe residents. “And the reason for that is over the weekends, they’ll be closing down to remove the rubberized asphalt that exists on the roadway today on all of the travel lanes.” With even more significant disruptions a certainty over the next four years, ADOT already wants commuters to prepare by studying and then tak-

ing different routes, especially if they work in downtown Phoenix. The highway agency is going to unprecedented lengths to help them do that. “We very much want to do everything that we can so that motorists, visitors and businesses can plan in advance to lessen the impacts,” Noetzel said. “We’re doing things with this project that we’ve never done before.” In a virtual briefing last week, ADOT representative Alexandra Albert put it

another way: “ADOT is doing some really significantly different things than they have in the past, and it’s because of the size and the scope and the location of this project.” For the first time, ADOT has developed a project-specific mobile app. It has prepared an advertising blitz on TV, radio and in newspapers. It’s ordered up billboards and even putting warnings and reminders on gas pumps. It has created a home page for the project at i10broadwaycurve.com where people can stay up to date and get the mobile app. ADOT representatives have been briefing dozens of chambers of commerce and other economic development organizations from Glendale to Gilbert, holding town halls and planning to open a field office for the general public at 2157 E. Elwood Street in Phoenix where anyone can drop by Mondays to Fridays just to chat about the work. All this, Noetzel explained, is being done “to create that awareness and make sure that people know where to get resources.” Indeed, ADOT has spent two years talking with people about the project, she said, because “one of the underlying tenets of our communications approach in this is no surprises.”

ADOT calls the Broadway Curve project “the first major urban freeway reconstruction project in Maricopa County.” Its major components include: • Widening I-10 to six general purpose lanes and two high-occupancy

July 15, 2021 vehicle, or HOV, lanes in each direction between U.S. 60 and I-17 and adding a fourth general purpose lane in each direction between Ray Road and U.S. 60. • Adding collector-distributor roads that parallel I-10 between Baseline Road and 40th Street to separate through-traffic on I-10 from local traffic entering or exiting the highway. Unlike frontage roads along portions of the existing freeway system, these CD roads will not intersect with perpendicular roads. • Rebuilding the I-10 interchange with SR 143 to improve traffic ﬂow and create direct connections to and from SR 143 for drivers in the I-10 HOV lanes. This part of the project will reduce lane changes and often hair-raising weaving between Interstate 10 in the Broadway Curve and on State Route 143 at University Drive. • Razing and replacing the Broadway Road bridge over I-10. • Replacing the 48th Street bridges over I-10 and widening the I-10 bridges over the Salt River. • Building two bridges for pedestrians and bicyclists over I-10 between Baseline and Broadway roads (at Alameda Drive and the Western Canal) and improving the Sun Circle Trail crossing at Guadalupe Road. • Installing a wrong-way driver detection system including thermal cameras, ﬂashing signs and other specialized equipment that ties into ADOT’s intelligent transportation system. Of the project’s total $776.6 million cost — less than half the cost of the South Mountain Freeway — $676.6 million will spent on construction, with $615.6 million going to the developer, a joint venture of Pulice Construction, FNF Construction and Flatiron Constructors that goes under the name of Broadway Curve Constructors. The remainder of the project’s total cost covers the intelligent transportation system signal upgrades, right-ofway acquisition and paid advertising aimed at motorists.

ing similar to one that produced the South Mountain Freeway, teams have one contract with ADOT for design and construction services. The project designers are T.Y. Lin International Group, Stanley Consultants and Aztec Engineering. “Design build” also means that the contractors are “encouraged to use innovation and develop alternative concepts to reduce project time and impacts to the traveling public and community while construction is underway,” ADOT notes.

Better now than later

The Broadway Curve project covers roughly a third of the 31-mile I-10/I-17 corridor that the Maricopa Association of Governments — the Valley’s major highway planning group — and ADOT call “The Spine” because it handles 40% of all Valley traffic daily. The Spine is made up of a total of 37 access points, 40 bridges, 26 pump stations and 25 arterial streets that become snarled as a result of traffic jams on I-10 and I-17.

Combined daily east and westbound traffic already comes close to 300,000 vehicles through the Broadway Curve daily, and that number is expected to increase as the Valley’s population steadily grows. ADOT Director John Halikowski at one point noted, “Interstate 10 is a key commerce corridor that supports Arizona’s efforts to succeed in the global trade market and a vital transportation route for millions of people who live in, work in and visit our state every year. Improving safety and reducing congestion will truly benefit everyone who relies on our highway system, as well as thousands of businesses along the I-10 corridor. We are proud to deliver a project that will improve quality of life for so many people throughout the region.” Though the pandemic significantly reduced traffic volume, no one expects that to remain the case. Traffic crawls are creating a phenomenon called “peak spreading,” which basically means rush hours get longer. If nothing is done, one ADOT study warns, by 2040, “congestion will spread to other times of the day, and in some portions of the corridor will extend to more than 12 hours.” The 2018 study estimated it would cost at least $2.5 billion to cover all the improvements it recommends along the entire 31 miles of the Spine Corridor. If nothing was done with the Broadway Curve, ADOT’s environmental impact study notes, it “would result in increased traffic congestion in the area as growth and development continue. This could impede travel to and from destinations and make it difficult to attract or retain businesses in and around the study area.” “The level of congestion is anticipated to be more severe in various segments of the corridor, if no improvements were implemented and there is a need for improvements to maintain the functionality and mobility in this corridor,” it adds, warning: “By year 2040, the traffic operations along the I-10 and interchanges in the study area would further degrade with the growth indicators forecasted for the foreseeable future. Without major improvements, the I-10 in the study area (the area covered by the Broad-

way Curve project) would suffer degraded traffic conditions, travel delays, and challenging mobility for moving goods, services and people through the study area.” By doing something now, the study notes, “improved mobility and access along the corridor could foster economic development by attracting new business development and more attractive housing options and support social connectivity between neighborhoods and areas within the study area. This would represent a minor, positive, permanent secondary impact.”

The gain after pain

After the project’s pain comes what ADOT sees as a gain — not just for the 1,200 construction jobs it will create, but also for the future of more than 4,600 businesses that include 50 of the region’s largest employers. Noting that I-10 “is part of a key commerce corridor that connects ports in California with markets in Texas and beyond,” ADOT’s environmental study states, “The improvements will make I-10 a more favorable route for commercial truckers whose travels through the region support our local businesses.” ADOT envisions the project will accommodate current and planned system linkages for bus services using I-10, facilitating more ride-sharing and rapid transit use. Then there is the project’s overall impact on traffic, which ADOT describes thusly: “With the addition of new travel lanes, HOV lanes and the CD roads, capacity on I-10 will increase by 60 percent. This will better accommodate existing traffic and increased traffic as the region continues to grow. “Adding capacity to I-10 will reduce congestion and travel times. Greater efficiency means drivers can get to and from the places they need to be in less time. According to an economic evaluation conducted by MAG in 2020, the improvements will save motorists 2.5 million hours annually otherwise spent in traffic — totaling $130 million a year in time savings. These savings are due to quicker commutes made possible by the improvements vs. slower travel times without them.” For motorists whose stomach knots in traffic, the study puts it another way:

July 15, 2021 “The current average speed on eastbound I-10 between I-17 and U.S. 60 during afternoon rush hour is 32 mph. The average speed is projected to increase to 40 mph by 2025 with the improvements. Without improvements, that speed limit is projected to decrease to 29 mph by 2025.”

But first, the pain

The environmental study reported, “Traffic delays and slower speeds would be experienced equally by everyone who lives or passes through the study area; therefore, all population segments, including low-income and minority populations, would be affected to the same degree by construction. “Traffic operations would remain challenged, and congestion would become more prominent, particularly in the peak periods,” the environmental study anticipates, adding, “Construction could also affect local arterial streets in the study area. In addition to temporary traffic disruptions (closures and detours), construction traffic would be noticeable on area roadways and could occasionally contribute to localized congestion.” During her briefing last week, Albert said, “This project will impact all of us, everyone who lives, works or drives to the project area. “In addition to the numerous freeway and ramp closures, there will also be significant overnight work that could be noisy. There will be temporary impacts on business access. There will be detours that increase driving distance and time. There will be slower traffic and will be delays. Unfortunately, there is no other way to deliver a project like this without having that kind of a construction.” ADOT anticipates the I-10 will be shut down in both directions in the project area at least 50 times over the next four years. Most of these closures will occur on weekends, though some also will occur during the work week. However, the detours, closures and lane restrictions the project will generate explain why ADOT hopes even occasional users of the freeways and byways impacted by the project will download the mobile app and pay attention to the other channels of communication it is deploying for the duration of the work.

Walmart gives back to local nonproﬁts BY TYLER WEGLEITNER Glendale Star Staff Writer

As part of its Health and Wellness Giving Day on June 18, Walmart donated more than $1 million to organizations across the country. Walmart gave $78,000 to organizations in Arizona, according to Amber Pate-Mozroll, market health and wellness director for Walmart. Pate-Mozroll said Walmart’s Health and Wellness Giving Day is a way for the company to give back to its local communities. “We are very passionate about serving our community and being that store, that pharmacy in the community,” she said. “Really the most important part is that this was our way to create a connection with the community that we serve and do some good.” Pate-Mozroll said that only Walmart Neighborhood Markets participated in the program this year and that pharmacy managers at these locations chose the organizations that received these donations. “Neighborhood markets across the country present grants to local nonprofit organizations, and it’s the pharmacy managers who have identified organizations,” Pate-Mozroll said. “We asked them to relate it to health and wellness, and they have identified these organizations they serve in their community.” She said more than 600 stores participated in the event, and over 600 organizations received donations of at least $1,000. Walmart tried to find smaller organizations, with which its donations could have a bigger impact. “This was just our way of creating

that impact in our community on a local level, and we try to find as many organizations that were small organizations, that we could really make an impact with the funds that we were donating,” Pate-Mozroll said. Kenzie Kares Foundation in Litchfield Park received a $1,000 donation from Walmart. “It’s definitely been a huge support for us. It’s one of our larger donations this far,” said Lindsay Hebrard, executive director of Kenzie Kares Foundation. Hebrard said she started the organization in 2019 in honor of her daughter Mackenzie, who was born premature at only 15 ounces. Mackenzie spent about a year in the NICU, which inspired Hebrard to start the organization in hopes of helping others in similar situations. “We started the Kenzie Kares Foundation in order to support other families who are going to the NICU,” she said. “So, a lot of what we do is exactly that. We support local NICUs mostly through Banner Health.” At Banner Health, a training program has been started for families with children that have feeding tubes or have recently come off a ventilator. It has also started “Little Free Libraries” at two Banner hospitals. Hebrard said Kenzie Kares Foundation also works to connect these families with resources including assistance with transportation, day care for other children in the family, training, therapy or medical equipment. She looks forward to continuing to grow the organization and that it will be “constantly evolving with whatevSEE WALMART PAGE 9

er families need.” Hebrard said this donation from Walmart will be helpful in implementing the foundation’s goals. “This donation is huge for us, and it’s definitely starting us off in a new path … and providing opportunities to support other families and other kids going through the NICU process,” Hebrard said. “It’s definitely an honor that we were even considered.” Anyone interested in learning more about the nonprofit can visit kenziekaresfoundation.com. Glendale’s One Step Beyond Inc. received a $2,000 donation from Walmart. “We have been appreciative of the support from Walmart,” said Jeff Swanson, executive director of Arizona development and communications for One Step Beyond. He said One Step Beyond helps adults with disabilities and providing them with resources. “We provide dynamic programs for adults who have intellectual disabilities,” Swanson said.

These include programs relating to social, math and English skills, in addition to resume-writing and interviewing skills. It also has culinary, fine arts and fitness programs. Swanson said donations from the community help make these programs possible.

“Funds from community partners like Walmart really help the program grow into what it is, which is an opportunity for adults with intellectual disabilities to grow and get the support they need,” he said. “So, from the vocational side, to connect them with meaningful employment community

partners like Walmart are what makes those programs come to life.” Swanson said anyone interested in getting involved or learning more about the organization can visit its website at osbi.org. Pate-Mozroll said these donations from Walmart are part of the company’s effort to connect and engage with local communities. “This was born out of the idea of really having our pharmacists have that connection with the community and really giving back to the communities that we serve and the places that we serve,” she said. Pate-Mozroll said the program has grown considerably since it started three years ago and that the hope is to continue to grow it. “It’s really fantastic, and we’re really hoping to grow this. … This was started in this region and has really blossomed,” Pate-Mozroll said. “I’m really excited about this initiative. … There are so many smiling faces, so many organizations that we’ve really been able to impact, and it’s quite fantastic.”

Leibowitz: There are no bad dogs, just bad owners BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

Her name was Maria Eliza Sebastian Ruiz, 77 years old. She was married for 60 years, a mother of ﬁve and a grandmother. She died early July 6 on her front porch in Phoenix, mauled by a pack of four hulking Staffordshire terrier mixes. Pit bulls, to use the common parlance. The dogs’ owner, Alejandro Hernandez, 33, is in jail charged with negligent homicide. It’s a Class 4 felony that carries a minimum one year behind bars and three years, nine months max. Personally, I hope Hernandez serves every last day, because the police report details negligence in the extreme. “(Hernandez) stated the dogs belong to him and are known to escape from his backyard,” the investigator wrote. “Def. admitted to multiple occasions where his dogs escaped from his backyard and would wander around the neighborhood.

“Def. admitted to prior incidents of the dogs biting other people at least two times. Def. knew the gate from which the dogs escaped from was faulty and needed to be repaired or reinforced in order to prevent the dogs from escaping. Def. stated he did not make any changes to the gate because he did not have time.” He’ll have plenty of time now. Hernandez’s pit bulls immediately were put down by Maricopa County Animal Control. Their euthanizing was a no-brainer. But the story of Maria Eliza’s killing raises a larger question: Should Arizona cities and towns allow people to own pit bulls at all? In 2016, the state Legislature passed Senate Bill 1248, which forbids breed-speciﬁc legislation like the pitbull bans passed by more than 900 cities nationwide. This could easily be reconsidered, in light of Maria Eliza’s death and the fact that in 2019 pit bulls accounted for

33 killings — 69% of the 48 dog bite fatalities reported nationwide. No other dog bites or kills so frequently. No other dog fills Maricopa County’s animal shelters to overflowing. No other dog makes headlines so often. In February, a loose pit bull attacked three Gilbert residents, including a 16-year-old girl and a 70-year-old man. On Christmas Day 2020, a pit bull turned on its 39-year-old owner in Phoenix, tearing up her face and hands and leaving her in critical condition. Last summer in Casa Grande, Lorenzo Hidalgo, 42, went to check on his grandmother but was met instead by three loose pit bulls. The dogs reportedly lunged at his neck. Hidalgo was airlifted to a Valley hospital, where he was filled with stitches and staples. I could go on, but you get the idea: There’s a long roll call of the maimed and the dead. Yet, on the other side of the argument stands canine experts like the ASPCA, who argue for nurture ahead of nature. “All dogs, including pit bulls, are

individuals,” reads the ofﬁcial ASPCA position. “Treating them as such, providing them with the care, training and supervision they require, and judging them by their actions and not by their DNA or their physical appearance is the best way to ensure that dogs and people can continue to share safe and happy lives together.” Late into their 60s, my parents adopted a pit bull from the pound: Jake, a brindle behemoth who followed my mother everywhere. She was the dog’s big love in life, up there with dropped food and lying on “his couch.” Jake outlived my mom and my dad, and now resides with my brother. He’s a sweet boy, raised in a house full of love, treated with respect and care. It’s been 10 years, and I’ve never heard Jake so much as growl. I view him as proof that Alejandro Hernandez deserves prison time. Because there are no inherently bad dogs, only bad owners.

represented LD 2 since winning election in 2016, Hernandez announced in May that he would run for the U.S. House from Arizona’s second congressional district in 2022. Perhaps that’s why Hernandez appeared to parrot Nancy Pelosi during debate on the state House ﬂoor June 25. “We keep hearing about the threat of Communism,” Hernandez harrumphed. “You know what’s a bigger threat? White nationalism!” With that, the representative from Tucson broke into full-throated fury, conﬂating any and all conservatives with white nationalists’ intent on “teaching our kids that it’s OK to over-

throw a democratically elected government.” Some of his fellow Democrats were so enthused that they pounded their desks, apparently unaware or unconcerned that desk-pounding was often the public reaction of Soviet Communist Party boss Nikita Khrushchev during his premiership in the late 1950s and early ’60s. Back in the here and now, Hernandez was no doubt dreaming of his future as a member of Congress. But his daydream was about to be interrupted by a state House colleague who did not bring talking points to the ﬂoor. Instead, Rep. Quang Nguyen

(R-Prescott Valley) carried with him the memories of brutal communist oppression that cost the lives of loved ones in his native Vietnam. In politics and life, genuine passion surpasses contrived outrage, as Hernandez was about to learn. Meantime, the ﬁrst-term member from LD 1 ﬁrst sought to temper his righteous indignation with humor. “I’m not a big talker. … I stood back there and listened to everybody and I just got irritated, so I came over here and pressed the white button. Is it OK if I say ‘white button’?” His quip-as-a-question brought

Passionate experience trumps political ambition BY J.D. HAYWORTH

Glendale Star Columnist

Gideon J. Tucker was writing about his home state of New York when he penned this famous observation: “No man’s life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session!” What applies in Albany also ﬁts the situation in Phoenix, and probably every other state capitol. In fact, the homogenization of our politics has state legislators sounding very similar to their Capitol Hill counterparts. Or maybe it’s just an old-fashioned dose of “Potomac Fever.” That’s certainly the case with Rep. Daniel Hernandez (D-Tucson). Having

much-needed laughter to the House chamber, but Rep. Nguyen soon turned serious. “White nationalism didn’t drown 250,000 Vietnamese in the South China Sea. The communists did. White nationalism didn’t execute 86,000 South Vietnamese at the fall of Saigon. The communists did. White nationalists didn’t put me here (in the United States). Communism did.

Priscilla Rose Band brings rock to Westgate BY JORDAN HOUSTON Glendale Star Staff Writer

From a young age, Priscilla Pinches knew she was enamored by rock ’n’ roll. Now, she’s living her dream as an industry vocalist performing across the West Valley. An East Coast native and Glendale resident, Pinches is a singer and keyboardist for the Priscilla Rose Band. The group, combining a unique blend of classic rock and pop, is largely comprised of Pinches and her Sun City counterpart Rich La Rose, a vocalist and lead guitarist, and at least two other alternating members. “Priscilla and I are the main parts of the band and have been together since the beginning,” La Rose explained. “We have a regular bass player and drummer — sometimes we have to replace them — but we are the mainstays of the band.” The band will perform from 7 to 10 p.m. Friday, July 16, at the Fountain Park stage in the Westgate Entertainment District, located at 6770 N. Sunrise Boulevard. With free admission, Pinches encourages audience members to bring their own seating if they prefer. The venue is also packed with plenty of dining and shopping options, she added. “I would describe us as your favorite dance band,” Pinches said. “That’s what our aim is, to get people dancing and to lighten their hearts and bring them joy.”

La Rose echoes Pinches sentiments, saying the Priscilla Rose Band covers bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. “I like to call it family-friendly rock ’n’ roll,” La Rose added. Pinches and La Rose will be joined at the Westgate Entertainment District by Surprise resident Charles “Spanky” Lake on the drums and vocals and Rich Alfano on the bass. Pinches, a self-described “Army brat,” grew up with a colonel father in the military and spent most of her child-

hood in North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania, she said. Joining her church choir at 6, and then picking up the piano at age 9, she recalls developing a passion for rock ’n’ roll early on. “The beat and the variety of melodies that are available, it’s not all the same. It uses many notes to make common couples, and they don’t seem to repeat,” she said, adding, “They tell a story and they are complex.” Pinches continued to sing for her church choir and play the piano through-

out high school, she said. It wasn’t until her senior year in 1968 that she realized she wanted to pursue rock ’n’ roll professionally. Pinches skipped her school’s prom to attend a Rolling Stones concert in North Carolina, she explained. “I saw Billy Joel’s first gig ever at Appalachian State University in North Carolina,” she said. “I knew when I was in high school and the choir started singing contemporary songs that I wanted to play music for people to sing and dance to.” The aspiring vocalist started teaching vocal and piano lessons before moving to Arizona with her husband, where she continued to teach. In October 2015, she ran into La Rose at a local “jam session” in Surprise for other aspiring musicians. “I finally met Rich at this jam session and I knew I wanted to play in a rock ’n’ roll band — it was my life’s dream,” she said. “I started pretty late, but I had all of this experience behind me.” La Rose, who hails from Upstate New York, was also bitten by the musical bug during his youth. The self-taught guitarist first picked up his brother’s guitar in junior high school after his sibling lost interest, he said. “In the ’70s my brother had a guitar and he lost interest, so I picked it up,” he said. “The first song I learned to play SEE BAND PAGE 13

Home and landscape show blooming with ideas BY TYLER WEGLEITNER Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Maricopa County Home and Landscape Show is coming to State Farm Stadium in Glendale July 16 to July 18. The Home and Landscape Show provides a place for people to come shop local businesses and attend seminars and workshops. Katie Jones, show director for Maricopa County Home Shows, said the home shows provide “an opportunity for consumers to come to one central location and shop a bunch of exhibitor booths.” Jones said the show boasts a variety of vendors and companies for visitors to peruse. “There’s everything from home decor, home goods, home design, there’s remodeling companies, there’s landscapers, seminars, gardening,” she said. “It’s so much revolving exclusively and specifically around home improvement and home and garden.” The upcoming show at State Farm Stadium will host several special events, including demonstrations, shows and seminars. Among these are a beginner-level glass etching class, beeswax candle-making and dog training demonstrations. Jones said there will be two stages at the show. One will be dedicated to remodeling and home improvement. Guests can meet with experts there and learn more

was ‘House of The Rising Sun.’” La Rose formed his own rock ’n’ roll band, called Infinity, in high school. The band, comprised of La Rose and several of his friends, landed its first paid gig in 1977 — marking the beginning of his professional career. La Rose attributes Kiss as his inspiration. “I used to watch the midnight special every Saturday, and I remember seeing Kiss and I was mesmerized,” he said. “It looked like they had so much fun on stage, and in that moment, I said I want to do that.” La Rose continued to play throughout high school and into his college years, in which he studied music at SUNY Os-

about home improvement projects. The other stage hosts gardening and landscaping and will be taught by the UA’s Master Gardener’s Program. Successful features will return this year. “We also have our Handmade Headquarters back by popular demand, and that is our crafting workshop station where you can come in … build your own craft and leave with that craft,” she said. These crafts range from painted signs to garden terrariums. Jones said the Home and Landscape Show will have free wine tastings and “a free walk-up landscaping consultation” valued at $350. Anyone interested in the landscaping consultation should bring photos and measure-

ments of their yard. Jones said out of approximately 800 booth spaces at the show, around 700 feature local contractors and companies that will discuss projects and services in a “very safe and controlled, screened environment.” “They get to talk with reputable, licensed, screened contractors,” Jones said. “We ensure that they’re licensed properly through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. That way when you come to the show, you can shop with confidence.” Local artisans will sell their crafts and wares as well. Many of them rely on the show for business. “They rely on the leads that are generated from the home shows to keep their employees on payroll,” she said. “Then the companies are able to grow and retain those employees.” By hosting five home shows throughout the year at locations in Phoenix, Glendale and Scottsdale, it also pro-

wego. The musician moved to Arizona with his family, where he continued to play locally on the side while taking care of his mother in Sun City. La Rose formed the Jan Petrie Band before meeting Pinches at the Surprise jam session — and then the rest was history. With Pinches and a few other performers, La Rose created Mixed Company in October 2015. Around two years later, the group evolved into the Priscilla Rose Band. “I already knew the other band members, so four of us teamed up, and we had the keyboard now and I got to play — and it just took off,” Pinches recalled of Mixed Company. “We started doing

more complex songs, and we do some of the standards.” Now, the Priscilla Rose Band performs at least biweekly on the weekends across the West Valley. With COVID-19 on the decline, La Rose said the opportunities to perform are “picking up” and that the band couldn’t be more grateful. “Watching the reactions of the audience and to see the joy in their faces,” La Rose said. “That is the most satisfying element to me.” Pinches agreed with her partner’s sentiments, expressing that performing for crowds is “thrilling” to her. “I feel same way about the joy of the crowd. When you have a crowd up

vides these companies with new opportunities. “It gives the companies opportunities to exhibit and meet people from areas of the Valley that don’t necessarily travel over to them, which expands their growth as well,” Jones said. She said because companies from all over the Valley travel to these shows, they also give the public an easier way of finding companies to do business with. “Now they’re being exposed to these companies across the Valley who are not readily available, or you don’t have to pull them up online and do research on your own,” Jones said. “You can come and spend an hour or two at the home show and you get it all done in such a short amount of time.”

there dancing, it’s just the most thrilling thing,” Pinches said. The group even plays original music, the duo shared. The inspiration for their songs, in which they hope to eventually copyright, comes from their everyday lives and conversations, La Rose said. “One song is called ‘He Said, She Said,’” he explained. “It goes back and forth about how men and women view each other and put that together into an original rock ’n’ roll tune.” The Priscilla Rose Band also performs for private events such as weddings and other gatherings.

Find inner peace by managing your perspective Lately, many people I meet are apprehensive about the future. I can’t blame them. We feel like we have never been this way before. And we know that the world and or our country has never been this way before. There is a “whole lot of shaking going on” inside and outside of people, weighing them down like a cement life jacket. The “what if” of the future is staring us in the face. We wonder if anyone knows what to do about it. Pressure and intimidation are always there. Add this to the disappointment of dreams shattered, and it can be overwhelming. Here is a story that catches how many people feel. As a sergeant in a parachute regiment, I took part in several night-time exercises. Once, I was seated next to a lieutenant fresh from jump school. He was quiet and looked a bit pale, so I struck up a conversation. “Scared, lieutenant?” I asked. He replied, “No, just a bit apprehensive.” So, I asked, “What’s the difference?” He replied, “That means I’m scared, but with a university education.” As for the United States, some feel like it’s the fall of the Roman Empire,

and the only difference is that now we have Wi-Fi. Let’s explore the concept of managing ourselves from the inside out. Did you know the Chinese symbol or word for “crisis” is the word “opportunity”? The Chinese see a crisis as an opportunity. They see a crisis as a classroom, teaching us something about life to be learned. Adversity is a way to opportunity. I say it this way: When we miss God, we learn about God. God’s grace recognizes consequences but refuses abandonment. Think about this. The person who has no inner life is the slave of his surroundings. Managing your inner thoughts is when we don’t get intimidated, stay calm, and uncompromisingly depend on God to make a way where there seems to be no way. Frankly, I would rather be proactive

all our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we would probably take ours back again. Some people would love to have your worst days. Are you worried? Corrie Ten Boom once said: “Worry is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength — carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn’t empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.” Worry is interest paid on trouble before it is due. Nigerian educator Babatunde Olatunji said, “Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. What is today? Today is a gift. That is why we call it the present!” You open the present in the present.

with God than reactive without God. Whatever doesn’t kill us has the power to make us stronger and conceivably better. Many times, a crisis is a test. There are many kinds of tests. For example, there is the discouragement test, the purity test, the finding God and asking God to help test, the attitude test, the character test, the patience test and the trust test. You receive a promotion when you pass the test. Don’t walk out of the class. Don’t quit on God or yourself too soon. Promotion often comes after the most significant spiritual battles in life. Instead of thinking, “Why me?” think, “Why not me?” Sometimes we get apprehensive about what other people think of us. Sometimes decisions we made that contributed to our problems are embarrassing to us. Hint: Don’t worry about what other people think about you. What others think about you is none of your business.

around.” Proverbs 13:12. Most folks look at the unrelenting disappointment part and miss the second part of the verse. The Hebrew wording says that a “sudden break will come.” Let’s not forget that God can make sudden breaks come and restore our hope and lives again. When you’re down to nothing, God’s up to something. So, how do you manage yourself from the inside out? Our inner life and our inner way of thinking are crucial for having peace in unpeaceful times. Our best friends or our worst enemies are our thoughts. A thought is better than a doctor, a friend, banker or the government. But, unfortunately, a thought can also do us more harm than a brick. So, choose your thoughts but choose wisely. Think about it. What apprehensive people are looking for is peace. The Apostle Paul, who knew by experience what apprehension could do to a person, reveals the way to peace beyond all understanding and misunderstandings in the Scriptures. “Summing it all up, friends, I’d say

you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious — the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies.” Here’s your takeaway. Real peace is the deliberate adjustment of our lives to the will of God.
