NEWS...............4 Chaos ends with officer-involved shooting
Tony Vining has returned to the Peoria Unified School District as the Raymond S. Kellis High School principal. He replaced longtime principal Jeff Wooten, who retired June 30. “It’s a nice homecoming,” he said. “I realized how much of a special place Raymond S. Kellis is. When the opportunity opened up, I couldn’t pass that up.” Vining rejoined Peoria Unified from his current appointment where he serves as principal at Cactus Shadows High School in the Cave Creek Unified School District.

“It’s nice coming back to a school that I know a lot about,” he said. “I think the culture there is amazing and I want to build on that. I want to rebuild the relationships and diagnose where they are economically.” Vining, who earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at NAU, was previously assistant principal at Raymond S. Kellis and Cactus high schools and served in additional roles including teacher and athletSEE PRINCIPAL PAGE 4

Housing programs accepting preapplications BY MADELINE LEWIS Glendale Star Staff Writer

July 22, 2021
The city of Glendale is making improvements to two long-term public housing programs. Preapplications are available and are due by Monday, Aug. 2. “Glendale has 155 public housing units that we own and operate and we have a little over 1,000 vouchers,” said Jean Moreno, community services director of Glendale. The public housing program is conventional public housing contained within three Glendale communities. The Housing Choice voucher program was formerly known as Section 8 housing. Participants can choose where to live and will receive a voucher to pay for rent. The preapplication is available to everyone in the community.
“The preapplication is for people who think they are eligible and need a resource,” said Moreno. “Anyone who is currently experiencing homelessness or housing instability should apply. They are eligible if they make less than 30% of the median income.” Each household may submit one application. Visit glendaleaz.com/housing to fill out the online application, or visit the Glendale Community Housing Office to receive a paper version. After the deadline on Aug. 2, applicants will be entered into a randomized lottery. Three hundred and fifty people will be chosen and placed on the waitlist for each program. “The purpose of the waitlist is two things. One, that anybody who needs housing support, typically low-income
families, has an opportunity to apply for the program. And, the waiting list helps us to immediately help people when vacancies become available,” said Moreno. The city of Glendale has limited housing resources but is making changes to their programs to help people as soon as possible, hence the waitlist format. “We have people cycling through the waitlist throughout the year when they need the resource,” said Moreno. “This was a strategic choice for the team,” said Donald Paredez, Glendale’s housing administrator. “We want to reach anyone in the community who needs a housing resource,” said Moreno. However, “there is no guarantee they will be matched with a resource.” After those who win the lottery are SEE HOUSING PAGE 3

My dad was in education. He was a teacher as well in Peoria. That led to where I’m at today. “I just have a passion for teaching. By teaching, I evolved into being an administrator.

A 24-year-old man was arrested after he drove a vehicle into a canal and led Glendale Police in a foot chase July 13. Glendale Police observed the suspect, 24-year-old Gabino Hernandez of Glendale, hit a curb with his vehicle, and then a street sign and streetlight, according to Sgt. Randy Stewart, Glendale Police public information officer. The officer called 911 to report the collision and followed the vehicle down the canal. Near the area of 7900 W. San Miguel, Hernandez exited the vehicle while it was moving. The vehicle continued on and crashed and submerged into the canal, Stewart said.
The officer confronted Hernandez, who pulled out a handgun and fired multiple rounds at the officer, but missed, Stewart said. No one was injured. A foot chase ensued from 7900 W. Missouri Avenue. The officer lost sight of Hernandez and a perimeter was set. Hernandez stole a bicycle in the park nearby and left the area, according to Stewart. A K-9 tracking team located the bicycle and Hernandez’s clothing. He was taken into custody near 7700 W. Medlock Drive after a caller reported seeing him. Hernandez was booked into jail and is facing aggravated assault charges. Other charges may still be pending, Stewart said.

Anasazi Chapter participates in virtual DAR convention BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Members of the Daughters of the American Revolution from around the world gathered for their 130th DAR Continental Congress. For the second time, they did so entirely online, again conducting all regular business and honoring the extensive work of DAR members throughout the year via a virtual experience. Participating were Martha Beeching Jones, past vice president general; Kathryn Christmann, chapter regent; Patti McGuigan, chapter treasurer; Eden Tanzosh, chapter corresponding secretary; and Barbara Cook, all of the Glendale-based Anasazi Chapter. Cook was recognized for her 50 years of membership in the DAR. The chapter contributed to the president general’s project and individual members also contributed personally. The chapter also hosted two watch parties, for education and national defense nights. Chapter members also enjoyed the Units Overseas Luncheon.
“I am honored to be a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and participating in Continental Congress allows me to share my passion and enthusiasm with other Daughters across this great nation and across the world,” Christmann said. Prerecorded video programming for the Opening Night Ceremony on June 30 featured singer and songwriter Lee Greenwood, who accepted the Founders Medal for Patriotism in recognition of his work on behalf of active-duty military and his patriotic standard, “God Bless the USA.” Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky, author of this year’s NSDAR Excellence in American History Book Award, The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution, was recognized. The DAR Americanism Medal was presented to naturalized citizen Daniel Lubetzky, founder of KIND snacks. Marking the DAR’s long-standing commitment to historic preservation,
the nearly complete restoration of DAR Constitution Hall was unveiled July 2. The National Trust for Historic Preservation was presented with the President General’s Medallion. The White House Historical Association received the DAR Historic Preservation Medal and the PBS series “American Experience” was recognized with the DAR Media and Entertainment Award. During the National Defense Night ceremony on July 3, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin received the DAR Patriot Award. The DAR Medal of Honor was presented to Staff Sgt. David G. Bellavia, who was the first — and only living — recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor for service during the Iraq War. After 15 months of pandemic-related restrictions, it was a time to celebrate all that the organization had accomplished during the last year. “Daughters demonstrated outstanding resiliency through support of our relevant mission during the last year, serving in their communities by recognizing essential workers, sewing more than 1 million pieces of personal protective equipment for their neighbors and fulfilling many other important volunteer opportunities through approximately 5 million hours of community service — in the middle of the global shutdown,” said President General Denise Doring VanBuren. “I am especially proud that 2020 was the sixth-highest year for new members since our founding in 1890,” said VanBuren, who noted this was a remarkable achievement at a time when many organizations saw steep declines

during the pandemic. She also reported that the National Society remained financially stable, operated all business functions despite pandemic-related restrictions and completed a massive restoration of DAR Constitution Hall during the last year. The DAR Continental Congress is an annual gathering of approximately 3,000 members that has traditionally been held in Washington, D.C., since the organization’s founding in 1890. National, state and chapter leaders, as well as members from across the country and around the world, gather to report on the year’s work, honor outstanding award recipients, plan future initiatives and reconnect with friends. In April, with the District of Columbia still at phase two of its reopening plan and gatherings limited to 10 people and staff capacity at DAR headquarters to 25%, the DAR’s National Board of Management voted to move the annual event to an entirely virtual format for the second straight year. Given that last year’s week-long virtual event garnered more than 75,000 views online, making it the most watched in DAR’s 130-year history, expectations are that this year’s edition will attract the largest audience ever recorded. In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, the more than $14 million restoration of DAR Constitution Hall is nearing completion, and VanBuren’s The Next Act campaign to complete it is the largest single President General’s Project in the society’s history. Virtual attendees saw a behind-the-scenes look at how one of D.C.’s most popular and historic performance venues was transformed into a state-of-the-art facility during a full year of construction. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism. Its members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War. With more than 190,000 members in approximately 3,000 chapters worldwide, DAR is one of the world’s largest and most active service organizations. To learn more about the work of DAR, visit DAR.org.

GCC awarded for employee health programs BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Glendale Community College was recognized by the Healthy Arizona Worksite Program as achieving the Platinum Level of excellence in worksite wellness. The Healthy Arizona Worksite Award recognizes employers who are making efforts to positively affect the health and well-being of their employees, their families and their community by implementing comprehensive worksite wellness strategies. To qualify for the Platinum Level of the award, employers must provide extraordinary support of employee health through policy and systems changes. Platinum is the highest level that companies and organizations can achieve. GCC received this recognition by supporting employee health and implemented programs to create a healthy workplace. Margo Bates, GCC Wellness Fitness supervisor, represented GCC at
the Virtual Healthy Arizona Worksite annual event held earlier this summer “We are committed to GCC being an important setting for promoting healthy behaviors, after all, employees spend nearly half their waking hours at work,” Bates said. “Effective wellness initiatives can increase employee satisfaction and have been shown to reduce healthcare costs.” The Healthy Arizona Worksites Program is designed to help Arizona employers implement evidence-based worksite wellness initiatives to improve the health of their employees and businesses. The Healthy Arizona Worksites Program is a public health initiative offered by the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Maricopa County Department of Public Health. Its mission is to help employers successfully implement worksite wellness initiatives to improve the health of their employees.

After many disagreements, Arizona legislators finalized changes to Arizona’s unemployment insurance programs. Starting in July 2022, the maximum benefits rate will be $320 per week. Although this change still leaves the state amongst the lowest unemployment benefits in the nation, the state’s benefits previously sat at 2nd lowest in the nation with a $240 weekly maximum. Mississippi was the only state below Arizona with the benefits at $235. Republican Senate President Karen Fann of Prescott previously issued a warning to House republicans that it would not be good for their political futures if they were to keep blocking the first unemployment increase in 17 years, as reported by Capitol Media Services. Although efforts to raise it have been occurring since 2004, Fann had said it was time to revisit the issue, as the $240 weekly maximum is nowhere near enough for Arizonans to afford rent, not including any other amenities they may need. Queen Creek’s Republican House Representative Jake Hoffman led the review of Fann’s proposal in which, during his floor speech, he referred to it as “welfare” and cited businesses who were concerned over people not having the drive to get back to work. Fred Pierce, Queen Creek resident, felt similarly regarding the proposal. He mentioned how businesses were paying well over minimum wage and yet people still were not returning to work. He does not believe increasing the maximum unemployment benefits will be beneficial to the economy, as he thinks people will just choose to stay home instead.
Samuel Stone, senior advisor to Phoenix Councilman Sal DiCiccio, addressed concerns over increasing the maximum unemployment benefits making it less likely for people to return to work. “Getting rid of the federal subsidy should still address that problem,” Stone said in a tweet, calculating that even with the $80 increase from the current maximum, Arizonans on unemployment would make a maximum of $1,387 untaxed which is lower than what Arizonans would make working 40-hour weeks at $15 per hour. Studies done by Nicolas Petrosky-Nadeau and Robert G. Valletta suggest “the $600 UI benefit supplement in the CARES Act had little or no effect on the willingness of unemployed people to search for work or accept job offers.” Although Tino Jones, a resident of Glendale, said in an interview that he also thought this would make it harder for people to want to go back to work, but he looked at it in a more positive manner. “When people’s lives substantially improve on unemployment benefits because they are getting more than a starvation wage, they’re not going to feel incentivized to go back to the workplace,” Jones said. In his eyes, people are starting to become more conscious of poor working conditions and now have a way to stand up against it by continuing to use unemployment benefits instead. He mentioned that businesses will have to get more competitive with their wages to attract potential employees. Ultimately, he said he agrees that the unemployment benefits should be increased, because compared to the Arizona cost of living, the maximum benefits could not even cover the costs of a Phoenix apartment and that’s before other living expenses are included.

Who cares about polls? The Valley has our hearts BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
With all due respect to the fine journalists who toil for U.S. News and World Report, their magazine’s annual list of “Best Places to Live” once again ranks as one of the most hilarious acts of journalism committed to print this year. Want to yuk it up? Listen to this Top Five of America’s Best Hometowns: Ranked fifth, there’s Austin, Texas, “laidback to the point that if you’re dressing up, it must be a life event.” Fourth, Fayetteville, Arkansas, where – and I quote – “people wave and smile at each other in the street, and community events are well-attended.” Third, we have Huntsville, Alabama, which boasts “the most educated population in the state.” The state of Alabama. Need I say more? No. 2 goes to Raleigh and Durham, North Carolina, whose selling points include “gathering over craft beers in
one of the region’s many microbreweries” and “strangers ... quick to provide a friendly conversation when standing in line at the supermarket.” I prefer Budweiser and silently bagging my groceries to get the hell out of Bashas’ as fast as possible. The big winner for 2021: Boulder, Colorado, named America’s Best Place to Live for the second consecutive year. I’ve been to Boulder. Nice place – if you like John Denver songs, chocolate chip edibles and hemp underwear. As U.S. News puts it, Boulder “has opportunities from forest bathing and free meditation sessions to an abundance of marijuana dispensaries, spas and alternative health care studios. The full spectrum of yoga disciplines is represented here, as well as … ‘Animal Flow’ ground-based movement classes.” Sounds like a pulled hamstring waiting to happen. Plus, the description alone gives you the munchies – and zero desire to fire up the moving van.
The Phoenix metro area ranked 40th this year, up 13 spots from 2020 and sandwiched between Houston and Knoxville. We scored high for having “a thriving job market, a relatively low cost of living and plenty of ways to enjoy the nice weather.” No mention of chatty strangers in the grocery store, a thriving weed scene or ample chances to do goat yoga. It could be worse. Tucson ranked 81st. Dead last? San Juan, Puerto Rico. My problem with this list is my problem with all such lists: They attempt to scientifically rank something that is less science and more emotion. U.S. News – whose brand depends entirely on ranking things like cities and colleges – has created a formula by polling 3,600 internet users, then weighting each area’s job market, housing affordability, quality of life, desirability and how many people move in and out annually. After that, there’s a whole lot of mumbo jumbo about standard deviation and something called a Z-Score.
This seems as good a scientific method as any to rank places, but it still misses what really motivates humans to live where we live: The job that beckons us or the chance to live near those we love. I’m sure my story is typical and illustrative. I moved to the Valley 26 years ago for work, then stayed because I laid down roots. There are people I love here, a business I built, and a million little things that lift my spirit: the crunch of my hiking shoes on Piestewa Peak, the sound of Al McCoy’s voice calling a Phoenix Suns basketball game, the breakfast quesadilla at Bit-zee Mama’s in Glendale and the countless purples and oranges that drip down the sky during each night’s sunset. So what if Boulder scores a 7.6 because it has “Tube to Work Day” and “dirtbag climbers (who) live in a van?” The Valley may only score a 6.8, but the place has our hearts.
the Oval Office. Rather than foster the perception that he was a bold “man of action,” as so many of his successors would encourage of themselves once ego met ambition at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Eisenhower employed a style that encouraged an incurious or even an indulgent reaction, considering that he was the first septuagenarian to serve as president. His press secretary, James C. Hagerty, recalled an anecdote that typified Ike’s approach. When considering a challenging question, he might face
concerning a controversial topic at a press conference, Eisenhower told his staffer: “Don’t worry, Jim; if that question comes up, I’ll just confuse them.” While Eisenhower exploited imprecision as part of his personal image, other leaders from the other side of the aisle have employed it to achieve policy goals. Lyndon Johnson dramatically expanded the federal role in health care by advocating and signing into law both the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Three decades after those programs were established, historian-turned-House Speaker Newt Gingrich theorized that by sowing deliberate
seeds of confusion over Medicare and Medicaid, distinctions between the two would be forgotten and therefore any stigma about government-run health care would be minimized in the public consciousness, thus aiding the left in advocating a complete federal takeover of healthcare. Fast-forward to the here and now. Joe Biden leads a Democratic Party increasingly conflicted about truly democratic elections. Despite the parroting of the “voter suppression” canard by a reliably partisan Washington Press Corps, this is one instance where the American
David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.
Democrats conflicted on democratic elections BY J.D. HAYWORTH
Glendale Star Columnist
The America of the 1950’s seems quaint by today’s standards. Our memories of that era match the monochrome images that danced across early television screens from coast to coast, we see Dwight David Eisenhower as a genial grandfather and golf enthusiast instead of the decisive leader and hardened warrior. In his 1982 book “The Hidden-Hand Presidency,” political scientist and historian Fred I. Greenstein revised the thinking about Ike and his two terms in

people are relying on their collective commonsense. Understanding that photo identification is required to cash a check, board a plane or even enter a federal courthouse, the public does not see why the same stipulation should not apply to voting. Polling shows that 80% of the public embraces the idea of photo ID as a way to safeguard voter integrity. So, Ol’ Joe is taking a page out of the “LBJ Playbook.” When asked about the Supreme Court’s decision that affirmed the constitutionality of the new Arizona voter
integrity laws, Biden blew past the particulars of the case to outline his major concern, which he readily admitted was not part of the court’s Arizona decision. “I think it is critical that we make a distinction between voter suppression and suspension.” Voter suspension? Sounds similar to voter suppression. What’s the difference? Joe is making the shift because he wants to get ahead of the mounting evidence of vote fraud – here in Arizona and elsewhere. He’s doing so for his own political survival.
To hang on to power, leftists will claim that if any votes are thrown out – “suspended,” in their new vernacular, it will be a denial of the “will of the people.” Conveniently forgotten in this new semantical twist: any evidence that
proves the “suspended” votes are fraudulent. J.D. Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. House from 1995-2007. He authored and sponsored the Enforcement First Act, legislation that would have mandated enforcement of Federal Immigration Law in the 109th Congress.

Childers wins a national grocery award for Fry’s BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Kristen Childers, store manager at Fry’s Food Stores in Glendale, has been recognized as one of 2021’s “Top Women in Grocery” by Progressive Grocer magazine, a national food retailer publication. A Surprise resident, Childers is one of three Fry’s leaders locally to receive the national award recognizing women in grocery who display exceptional achievements in and out of the office. She will be honored at the Progressive Grocer awards gala this November in Orlando. For nearly two decades, Childers has served in multiple positions with Fry’s including courtesy clerk, cashier, assistant store manager and customer first facilitator. In 2019, Childers was named store manager at Fry’s in Cave Creek where she managed a complete store remodel, oversaw the store’s
health and safety efforts during the pandemic and led the store to number one in operations for the Fry’s division. In April 2021, Childers relocated to Glendale to manage the 67th Avenue and Happy Valley Road store. “I am extremely honored to be named a one of the leading women in the grocery,” said Childers. “Eighteen years ago, I started my career with Fry’s, and I have never looked back. I have learned so many valuable things from the amazing people I work with, many of whom have become mentors to me and have helped shaped me into the leader I am today. I forever grateful for their guidance and proud to work for a company that acknowledges their associates and rewards great leadership.” From strong communication skills to fostering a culture of inclusivity and teamwork, Childers uses her expertise to position Fry’s as a leader in her
community. She works closely with her team to ensure stores are always properly stocked with the most relevant and desirable customer products. She is also committed to supporting Kroger’s Zero Hunger | Zero Waste to end hunger in the communities they call home and eliminate waste across the enterprise. She works closely with her team to reduce food waste in her store by advocating for the company’s food recycling donation program and partnering with local food banks. “Kristen is a valued and dedicated Fry’s associate and deserving of this national recognition,” said Monica Garnes, president of Fry’s Food Stores. “She is a true testament to the Fry’s culture, a dedicated leader who shows up for her team daily and inspires them to be innovative thinkers and leaders. We are incredibly proud of her accomplishments.”

Happy new (school) year! Norma Jauregui strives BY PEORIA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
Welcoming students back to school is an exciting time of year, but it is especially heartwarming as we look to begin the 2021-22 school year with the return of athletics, activities, field trips and as much normalcy as possible. Over the summer, Peoria Unified announced its health and safety plan for the fall, including having masks optional for students, staff and visitors while still offering hand sanitizing stations and air purifiers on every campus. The district will continue to encourage proper handwashing and feels confident that there are safety procedures in place to continue to make our learning environments safe. “On Aug. 4, Peoria Unified students will either be in-person, full-time or participating in our new eCampus Virtual School,” said Peoria Unified Superintendent, Dr. Jason Reynolds. “Over the summer, our teams worked hard to prepare for the upcoming school year and are committed to ensuring that all students and families are valued, cared for, and have every available opportunity to achieve academic success.”
One of the main areas of focus for the upcoming school year is to make sure all families have ways to stay connected during the school year. Most importantly, each school will always be the No. 1 source of information for parents, and it is best to reach out to each school first with any questions. Families can find school contact information on the district’s website at peoriaunified.org. To stay up-to-date and in the know of all the things happening in Peoria Unified, check out Peoria Unified’s podcast, “Trending Peoria,” where the district breaks down the latest trends in education. Topics recently covered range from the importance of early childhood education to Peoria Unified’s Strategic Plan and everything in between. The podcast features interviews with teachers, administration, support staff, students, and more. The community can listen to Trending Peoria on any major podcast streaming platforms or on the district’s website at peoriaunified.org/trendingpeoria.

The grant application process is open through Sept. 2, the day before the last drawing. Teachers should only apply once, and any unselected teachers will remain in the applicant pool for the following weeks. Stewart said winning teachers can use their judgment with the funds. “They know best what they need for their classrooms, so we want to give them that flexibility,” she said. “It would vary from teacher to teacher and school to school. They know the greatest needs for their classrooms, so we leave it up to them to allocate the money as they see fit.” She said APS staff values education and it aligns to their company’s values and commitments. “We’re a long-standing supporter of education in Arizona and we believe a strong education system is important in the state,” Stewart said. “As a company that’s headquartered in Arizona, we have responsibility not only to provide safe, reliable power, but to strengthen and empower the communities we serve, and we take that responsibility very seriously.” The application process is quick, and she encourages any and all eligible teachers to apply. “We want as many teachers as possible to apply and have the opportunity to get $500 that they can use to help their classrooms and help their students,” Stewart said. Anyone interested in applying for the program can do so online at supplymyclass.com.

APS giving back to Title 1 teachers Glendale Star Staff Writer
Now Enrolling for the 2021-2022 Program Year
July 22, 2021
As part of its annual Supply My Class program, Arizona Public Service, or APS, is helping local teachers acquire supplies for their classrooms. For five weeks beginning in August, APS will give $500 Visa gift cards to 500 teachers, totaling $250,000. “APS supports teachers, and we want to help ensure that they have the resources they need in the classroom,” said Anna Stewart, community affairs manager for APS. Stewart said there are certain criteria the grant applicants much meet. “The teachers must teach at a Title 1 school in APS’ service territory,” she said. Stewart said they also need to be a K-12 teacher at a public or charter school and that a list of all the eligible schools can be found at https://supplymyclass.com/promotion-rules/ According to the company’s website, winners from previous years are still eligible to enter again this year. Stewart said winners will be selected each week from Aug. 6 to Sept. 3. “We will randomly select 100 teachers each week to win a $500 Visa gift card that they can use to purchase supplies for their classroom,” she said. For the first week, Stewart said they will select 100 teachers who have been teaching for no more than three years. The remaining four weeks will be open to all eligible teachers. This is aimed at supporting newer teachers. That includes strengthening their commitment to their profession.

We don’t talk and use this language a lot because I think it’s cliché, but we do believe in educating the whole child. “We give them lots of experiences and we make sure academics are on par with other districts.”

Moving from Mexico
Jauregui relocated to the United States from Guadalajara in the state of Jalisco. Before moving to Arizona, she lived in Oregon, Chicago and Wisconsin. She graduated from Tempe High School and ASU. Education was a logical choice for her. “I tutored the neighbors’ kids,” she said. “I’m Catholic, so I started teaching catechism when I was 14. I’ve always enjoyed working with kids. I was an English Language Learner, and we have a lot of students in our district who were refugees from Mexico and other children, so I understand.” She’s a strong believer in supporting special education teachers. Her oldest daughter is 22 years old and autistic. When she was diagnosed, Jauregui ensured she received the services she needed. “She attended the schools I worked at,” Jauregui said. “I am an advocate for her and all of our kids.” She has been dedicated to Title I schools for her entire career. The students can come in with gaps or needs, she said. The teachers work to close the gaps. English Language Learners in Title I schools need extra care as well. “I struggled with school as I learned English, which is why I am passionate about learning and education. Maybe they didn’t go to preschools,” she said.

Glendale Barber Shop is a piece of history BY REN BUSCH
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Originally established in the 1920s, Glendale Barber Shop holds the title as the oldest ongoing barber shop in Glendale, Arizona. In an era of mass production and expanding corporations, it is important to remember our roots and support local, small businesses that have been around for decades. The Glendale Barber Shop has been owned and operated by Dan Belford for 45 years, which is only part of the 55 years of experience Belford has under his belt. Although not a family-owned business, the Glendale Barber Shop has been owned by four different people since its opening, three of whom were friends that met through barbering. “We’re unique in the sense that I do all types of haircuts. A lot of the shops are restricted to fades and really short, tight haircuts,” Belford said. Because he specializes in all types of haircuts, he is not strictly limited to fades or tight cuts, and he believes that newer barbers do not know how to do a regular man’s or regular boy’s haircuts because they specialize in flat tops. Belford is the sole barber at the Glendale Barber Shop, running the shop by himself currently. Customer flow at the shop varies per day, but he estimated that he sees 15 to 20 customers every day. During the pandemic, the barber shop experienced a 6-week closure, and Belford said that he still has not completely recovered business-wise. He is running about 70% of what he was prior to the pandemic. “Some of my older customers especially, instead of coming in every three, maybe four, weeks, now they’re coming in every three or four months,” he explained. Some of his customers waited a year before venturing out because of their worries over Covid. In the wake of the
pandemic, though, some regular customers are starting to come back, and he is hopeful that business will continue to grow as things return to normal. Belford loves meeting new people and hearing their stories, and he mentioned that the best thing he could offer his customers is versatility with the cuts he can do and connecting with his clientele. He has been servicing some of his customers since they were teenagers, and he’s gotten to see them grow up into successful men. The hominess of a local business is an atmosphere that cannot be easily replicated with a franchise or corporate based salon. “Danny is one of those people who is more like extended family than a Barber. He has been there throughout the ups and downs in life, listening and offering advice and his own life experiences on things,” Brian Morris said in a yelp review. Morris has been getting his hair cut at The Glendale Barber Shop for the last few years, but his father has been returning to the local business since he was 10 years old. It is hard to find a place that keeps a tradition alive, and even harder to find someone like Dan Belford, who is not only your barber, but he builds a family-like relationship with you while you use his services. While waiting to get your haircut, the barber shop also features a mini art gallery that showcases the art of Belford, himself. “I had stopped into the barber shop because my two sons were in desperate need of a haircut a few years ago, and not only is Dan talented with barbering, but I was blown away by the art pieces on the wall. We may not live in the area, but I’d definitely like to bring my kids back for the exceptional service,” Vanessa Davidson said. She mentioned that her sons had never been so excited to show off their
hair to their grandparents that evening when they went to visit. It is an experience she thinks everyone should do, especially now that the pandemic is over. Glendale Barber Shop is located at 6825 N. 58th Avenue, Glendale, Arizona, 85301, and is open Tuesday through Saturday.

Employee, product shortages at local coffee shops BY REN BUSCH
Peoria resident, Joey Lucidi who opened his coffee shop NW Coffee in Peoria in August 2020 uses locally roasted grounds. (Photo by Tim Sealy)
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Starbucks has been experiencing shortages at locations across the United States with some of its products, but local businesses do not seem to be experiencing the same problem. Joey Lucidi, owner of NW Coffee in Peoria, discussed how being a local, small business has benefitted her location in some ways. “We use locally roasted that are used from free trade areas,” Lucidi said. He said they use quality ingredients in everything that they do and keep up the quality of their business by staying connected to the local community through supporting local schools and groups. Other businesses, local and nationwide alike, are not only feeling the pressure of supply shortages, but labor shortages also. A common issue is the lack of people going back to work, which is hitting some of these busi-
nesses hard. Because NW Coffee keeps a smaller staff, Lucidi said he has not had many concerns about an employee shortage, but that the “employee shortage is real” at his other locations. In order to combat the employee shortage in the wake of the pandemic, Lucidi is turning to technology to help his business become more efficient

while avoiding the employee shortage overall. NW Coffee has been open since August 2020, and Lucidi, as a local to the Peoria area, knew there was a need for a “hang-out-type coffee shop.” He said, “2021 is coming in strong. People are ready to get out and spend money and stay in the scene. So, as it stands right now, 2021 will be a banner year.” Another coffee shop located in Glendale is also experiencing its own shortages. The Black Sheep Coffee Shop, owned and operated by Daniel and Lynnette Sabillon since May 2020, also relies on local supplies for their coffee, bringing about the uniqueness of Daniel’s Honduran background and roots to Arizona. “A few years ago, he flew out to Honduras to check out a house his brother had built and found out the coffee farms on the land there were put into Daniel’s name. He became the sole owner of the coffee farms on that land. That sparked the passion for bringing organic coffee beans to Glendale, AZ,” Lynnette said about her husband. Everything about their shop is local. Whether it’s beer, wine, artwork or furniture, creating community within their small business is important to the Sabillons. Regarding shortages, though, Lynnette Sabillon mentioned that at their shop they are experiencing random shortages on products like plastic dome lids for cups, specific brand mixes and 20-ounce plastic cups. Oat milk
supplies had also run out for a period of time, but she mentioned they had that back in stock now. A perk of being a small business, though, is that they are able to shop around to pick up different brands to make due until the normal products are back in. “We are a small business, and we are not pumping out drinks like Starbucks, so we can go out and buy different brands of cups or lids,” Lynette said. “The hardest part about cups and lids is the fact that you have to buy the same brand lid as the cup.” Cups and lids are unfortunately not interchangeable between manufacturers, so, if a lid or cup runs out, they have to buy more of that same brand or buy both cups and lids from a new brand to make up for the empty stock. Because the couple opened their coffee shop during the pandemic, they have nothing to compare their current progress to, but the Sabillons have received plentiful amounts of help from their local community. “We knew it was going to be rough in the beginning, we knew there was going to be slow times but through it all, we prayed and trusted God and knew this is where we were meant to be,” Lynnette said, talking about how the community, police station, fire departments, city and other businesses around have helped them a lot throughout the pandemic. At The Black Sheep Coffee Shop, customers have opportunities to hold meetings, host games, and even listen to live music or participate in karaoke that the shop now offers. The shop’s motto of “creating community while providing amazing coffee” holds true for every person that has a chance to visit its location in the historic district of Glendale, and the owners also have their way of giving back to the community. They host their own Instagram series known as “Glendale’s Got It” where they showcase local businesses around them in videos, because they firmly believe in helping out one another, especially during the rough times of the pandemic.

Pastor: Improving Your Life’s Batting Average Years ago, a great teacher named Bob Mumford had a thought: “If you want to increase your batting average, you have to stop swinging at every pitch that comes over the plate.” A baseball player watches for that perfect pitch and then swings for good results. Apply the same strategy to your life. Most people today are swinging in all directions — but they are swinging without a strategy. If you only swung at the ball intended for you to knock out of the park, you would be a Hall of Famer. One pitch that is thrown to us continually is the pitch of temptations. Why? Because we will swing almost every time at the temptation pitch and strikeout. Let me confess something to you. I wouldn’t say I like to write about behavior. Most times, it seems the only

thing pastors and churches talk about is behavior. Don’t get me wrong. Behavior is important. Why? The next step after, “Lead us not into temptation,” is, “Deliver us from evil.” The problem is not temptation. We all have temptations. The problem is giving in to temptations whose fruit has debilitating consequences. In the Lord’s Prayer, “Lead us not into temptation,” doesn’t mean God leads us into temptation. It means precisely the opposite. Jesus was saying, “Lord, help me make wise decisions ACROSS

today. Empower me to overcome temptation, not be overcome by temptations.” Behavior and how we conduct ourselves are essential. It could determine our destiny. The problem is how we, in the church and other institutions, address other’s behavior. So, many times, it comes across as condemnation, not liberation. It’s more legislation than transformation. It’s like locking a robber in jail and then bragging about how he is not robbing banks anymore. Unless there is a fundamental transformation, that robber is still robbing banks on the inside. He just doesn’t have the opportunity to do what’s still in him. He knows it is illegal to rob a bank, but he doesn’t understand why.

Consider this horse trainer tip from Pastor Randy Helm: “A good horse trainer can get a horse to change. A great horse trainer gets the horse to want to change.” The same is true of people. May I suggest a more empowering, more liberating, Biblical approach to making choices that lead us not into temptation?

be mastered by anything.” If something could enslave you, if you are weak in that area, be wise, it’s not for you. The real question to ask yourself about any decision is, “Is this wise?” Not, “Is it legal?” It’s wiser to choose freedom from an affair than to choose the legal right for an affair. The Test of Edification in I Corinthians 10:23. Does doing this build me or others up or tear me or others down? To edify means to instruct someone in a way that enlightens them or uplifts them morally, spiritually or intellectually. The Bible says, “All things are lawful, but not all things edify.” Ask yourself, “Does what I am considering doing cause me, my family, my friends and my community to survive or to thrive in their souls?” If it doesn’t, it failed the edification test. The Test of Example in I Corinthians 8. Could what I am doing cause others to stumble? Does what I am doing give people an accurate sample of a thriving person in their soul? Remember, what you do affects others positively or negatively. There you go. Christians, we don’t need to shoot Bible bullets at people. Just give them

The Message Bible says, “Just because something is technically legal doesn’t mean that it is spiritually or morally appropriate.” Another version says, “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable.” Expediency is defined as someone or something appropriate for a situation but generally doing it for selfish reasons. It’s legal, but generally, that supporter will not be the best person for the post. So, if your temptation is to do the political thing rather than the best thing, it did not pass the test of expediency. The Test of Enslavement in I Corinthians 6:12. Could making this decision enslave me? Could it become an addiction? Could it lead others into an addiction? The Message Bible says, “If I went around doing whatever I thought I could get by with, I’d be a slave to my whims.” Another version says, “All things are lawful for me, but I will not

Deer Valley student takes 2nd in art competition BY ANNIKA TOMLIN
Glendale Star Staff Writer
Every spring since 1982, the Congressional Institute sponsors a nationwide high school visual art competition that showcases the artistic talent in the nation and in each congressional district. Rep. Debbie Lesko of District 8 recently named her district’s top three winners. “I am so pleased to recognize these talented young artists in our community,” Lesko said. “I am proud to congratulate this year’s Congressional Art Competition winner and thank everyone who participated in the competition. I was very impressed with the incredible artistic talent each person displayed this year.” The top three winners include: Brooke Wells of Anthem with her graphite piece, “Arizona Reflections”
whose work will be place in the U.S. Capitol for one year; Dang “Danny” Le of Glendale with his oil painting, “Oversaturated” that will be placed in Lesko’s Washington, D.C., office for one year; and Eliseo Miguel of Surprise with his Prismacolor pencil drawing, “Dreamer” which will be placed in Lesko’s Surprise District office for one year. High school students submitted entries to Lesko’s office and were judged by two members of WHAM Art Association including founder and executive director, Connie Whitlock. She has helped for three years. WHAM is a community-oriented nonprofit that brings the arts to people of all ages, abilities and economic status in West Valley cities. Le’s art teacher at Deer Valley High School told him about the competition

in March, which gave him ample time to create a concept for his submission. “There was a recommended subject (and it was) something to do with Arizona, like living in Arizona,” Le explained. He was struggling to find a concept until he had an epiphany one morning. “It was in the morning and the sun was really bright, so I wanted to convey a feeling of waking up and just looking at the sun,” Le said about his realistic self-portrait. “I took a photo of myself in the morning and then I went and painted it as detailed as I could. I would say it took me 20 to 25 hours (to complete).” Whitlock noted about Le’s Dang “Danny” Le’s realistic, oil painted self-portrait second place painting, “They titled “Oversaturated” won second place in the captured a mood so you could Congressional Art Competition for Arizona District 8.

Tips for Having a Great Garage Sale! 1. Sort through your closets, cupboards and garage for items to sell. 2. Partner up with a neighbor or friend. This is helpful to give each other breaks during the day. 3. Advertise your sale — ask us for our Yard Sale Special! 4. In your ad include the type of sale, (e.g., Yard Sale, Multi-Family Sale), date, time, address/ cross streets, and be specific on prices for high dollar items. Popular items you can include: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, yard equipment, designer/children’s clothes and shoes, craft items, antiques, unique items and collectibles/ collections. 5. Place signs on major cross streets and on the corners leading into your neighborhood. Just a fat, solid black arrow on colorful poster board works fine. 6. Price your items. If having a Multi-Family sale, each family should have a different colored price tag. You can do a $1 table, $5 table, etc., to save time. 7. Money. Be prepared with change, including coins. Do not accept checks. Cash only! 8. Have electricity available to test items.
