hen Michael Lancaster returned from serving in Vietnam in 1970, he was met with a disgusting response at a West Coast airport. “We came out of the bathroom, and a group of about 10 people called us horrible names and threw a bucket of pig’s blood on us,” said Lancaster, who lives in Peoria. “It ruined our uniforms.” Fifty years later, he received the welcome he deserved as part of Honor Flight, locally sponsored trips led by nonprofits that transport veterans to see the war memorials in Washington, D.C. The trips are free to the veterans. “To have the recognition of people was
amazing,” Lancaster said. “The high school kids and teachers who came up to us and said, ‘Thank you for your service,’ was a totally awesome experience.” Honor Flight Arizona recognizes World War II veterans (served between Dec. 7, 1941, and Dec. 31, 1946), U.S. armed forces Cold War veterans (served between Jan. 1, 1946, and Feb. 27, 1961), U.S. armed forces Korean War veterans (served between June 25, 1950, and Jan. 31, 1955), and U.S. armed forces Vietnam War veterans (served between Feb. 28, 1961, and May 7, 1975). “Honor Flight Arizona is thrilled to continue flying into June of this year,” added Robert Krug, Honor Flight Arizona vice president.

chool supplies, backpacks for students and a free lunch were in store for Arroyo Elementary School teachers thanks to Southwest Gas Corporation. The supplies — which included cleaning supplies for classrooms, glue sticks, paper and pencils, among others — are certain to help the school’s teachers with out-ofpocket costs for the upcoming year. “Teachers are fundamental to the success that we have in our communities,” said Laura Nelson, vice president, sustainability and policy for Southwest. “The job
that you do every day, whether school is in session or not, is helping our students be ready for the future to succeed and continue to thrive.” The donation from Southwest comes from its annual initiative to give back to the community it serves. Luis Frisby, vice president, Central Arizona Division for Southwest Gas, said Southwest looks at a different career demographic to give back to. He was particularly excited about this year, as he sees teachers as “heroes.” “You are all influencing and impacting children on a daily basis,” Frisby said. “Every single day, that is something that
they’re going to be able to say as they grow and move on in life, and that’s awesome. The other thing is, I think we all have a renewed appreciation of how valuable (teachers) are.” Becca Burd is heading into her first year as principal at Arroyo. She feels very fortunate for what Southwest has provided for her school. “I just think that having corporate sponsors come and give back to the teachers (is great) because teachers are always so worried about giving back to their students and making sure their students and fami-

VETERAN FROM PAGE 1
“We have a long waiting list of veterans after the COVID-19 pause, and it’s important to keep the flights going. Many veterans have told us it was the trip of a lifetime.” Honor Flight Arizona took its first flight of 11 World War II veterans in November 2009 and has now flown more than 2,400 World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans. Trips have also included more than 1,600 guardians assisting the veterans along the way. Honor Flight Arizona has a base of many active volunteers. Honor Flight Arizona is part of the nationwide Honor Flight Network. The nonprofits accept private donations and corporate support. This trip’s sponsor was Daughters of the American Revolution-Yavapai Chapter. When Lancaster left for his Honor Flight trip, TSA agents were dressed in special uniforms, and patrons rose from their seats to applaud and thank the veterans for their service. Upon their arrival in Baltimore, Lancaster and his peers were thanked for their service, sending the veterans into
a pool of tears. “There’s a video of me shaking hands with a young man,” Lancaster said. “It was a very moving time. We went to the Vietnam Memorial and got very emotional.” Hailing from Parker, Lancaster left for Vietnam with 14 others. Only six returned. With Honor Flight, Lancaster and his peers also visited the Korean War Veterans Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, Air Force Memorial, the Vietnam Women’s Memorial, the Pentagon and Fort Lewis. Now 73, Lancaster was an Army medic from 1968 to June 1981, so he was especially moved by the women’s memorial. The memorial was dedicated in 1993 and includes a sculpture by Texas artist Glenna Goodacre depicting three women caring for a fallen soldier. Eight yellowwood trees surround the sculpture in honor of the eight servicewomen who gave their lives in Vietnam. “I went over to the nurse memorial,” he said. “There were a couple nurses we lost in Vietnam. It was an awesome

memorial. One nurse has a soldier lying across her lap. One is looking up at the helicopter. It’s a very, very moving memorial.” On the return trip home, the group was once again met with clapping and applause. “They had the honorary water cannon spray our plane,” he said. “They did it in San Antonio and Sky Harbor.” The water salute honors military veterans, foreign dignitaries and new airline service. Salutes typically involve two firefighting rigs spraying arcs of water over an arriving or departing flight. The 2-minute display is a sign of respect, honor and gratitude. “About an hour and a half before we landed at Sky Harbor, we had one last mail call. In Vietnam, the mail call was one of the most important things,” Lancaster said. “On the plane, they read each person’s name, and they had letters from family members. I was in total tears when I opened the letters. It was a very moving, cleansing experience. I would highly recommend this to anyone else. “It was a welcome I had never had before. There were tears from the start.”

lies are OK and the community is OK,” Burd said. “They work so much outside of school. Several of them have second jobs and things like that, so just having Southwest Gas, the corporate sponsor, kind of have people acknowledge how hard and demanding their job is, I think it’s just nice to have them feel respected.” Arroyo is a Title I school, meaning it serves a high percentage of students from low-income families. Jill McFarlane, who teaches seventh grade reading and writing at Arroyo, said getting to teach at a Title I school is her passion. She often sees schools in higher-income areas receiving more help and resources, so getting this from Southwest means a lot to her. “This helps me save money,” McFarlane said. “I mean, with rent going up, gas going up, now I can kind of budget and rest a little bit easier knowing that I don’t have to go and buy all of this extra stuff. It helps financially, me personally, but I know it’s going to help the students even more.” When asked how the school supplies from Southwest would help her, kindergarten teacher Quinlyn Ashlock said the obvious answer is her out-ofpocket costs, but she is mainly excited to see how her students will react to the new materials. “It means a lot to our students; I think that everything we do is for our kids,” Ashlock said. “So, getting to see their

faces light up when they see brand-new materials that maybe they’ve never had access to before is really exciting — for us to be able to provide that for them and see them have access to so many new things as well.” Burd said Southwest reached out to her at the end of June about donating the supplies to the school. After a long week of planning ahead of the first day of school for her teachers, she is happy to see them rewarded. “I’m excited to see them kind of get the supplies that they need after like a long week of planning and preparing for the students,” Burd said. “Just to see how excited they are and how appreciative they feel is really, really nice to see.” McFarlane said the last couple of years have been tough on teachers. She

feels affirmed to receive recognition from Southwest. “Especially in the last two and a half years, teachers have really kind of lost the spark and the passion and trying to remember the why every single day,” McFarlane said. “This just makes me feel like I’m not alone, that I have a whole community behind me and supporting me to remember that why and to remember why I get up and come

here every single day.” Ashlock, who is entering her first year as a teacher, said when she was preparing herself for a career in teaching, seeing the struggles teachers countrywide were facing made her more motivated than ever to become a teacher herself. “Seeing teachers go through all they have gone through and how it’s changed is very inspiring to me in knowing that I wanted to be a teacher,” Ashlock said. “I was watching a lot of my colleagues go through that and struggle through that, so this is for them.” Burd said she feels very fortunate to be celebrating like this. It certainly starts the new school year on a high note. “It’s just so exciting, because I think it is building a community,” Burd said. “We have several new teachers, and we’re thankful to be fully staffed on our campus, as there is a teacher shortage nationwide. So, having our whole community here and celebrating year one, going into a brand-new start with a brand-new administrator is an awesome feeling.”

Vitalant hopes to motivate people to donate more often this summer — to help more patients and earn additional chances to win the 2022 VW Taos S. “While donors are generally eligible to give blood every eight weeks, the majority (65%) donate just once a year,” said Sid Lewis, senior director of donor recruitment for the Vitalant Southwest Division.

Glendale hosts Dementia Friendly Awareness Day BY JORDAN ROGERS

Glendale Star Staff Writer
n an effort to commemorate the city’s anniversary as a dementia-friendly city, Glendale is inviting the public to its Dementia Awareness Day on Saturday, Aug. 13, at the Glendale Main Library, at 5959 W. Brown Street. Running from 9 a.m. through 1 p.m., the goal of the event is to provide educational information and resources to members of the public and to generate awareness about dementia, including early detection and intervention. It is also aimed at improving the quality of life for individuals and caregivers who are currently impacted by the disease. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than 150,000 people in Arizona over the age of 65 live with dementia, impacting more than 257,000 family members and caregivers. This number is expected to increase 33% by 2025. To address public education and improve resource connections, the city of Glendale became a nationally recognized dementia-friendly city in 2021 by the Dementia Friendly America Network. Since launching the initiative, the city’s community services department worked to gather community leaders and experts in this area to better understand dementia and its implications. The team also evaluated the current strengths and weaknesses in the city to improve outreach to those living with the disease. Along with this effort, the city trained over 500 employees to bet-
ter understand all the aspects of dementia. “As a city, we have established five core values that we live by both personally and professionally,” said Michelle Yates, Glendale’s community engagement program manager. “One of those core values is community. We are driven to improve the community experience, and that is what we’re trying to accomplish by bringing awareness to this disease.” Organized by the Dementia Friendly Glendale coalition, the event will include a welcome and proclamation from Mayor Jerry Weiers, presentations by Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, and free brain health checks. Preregistration is not required but is recommended. Those interested can do so at jotform.com/ form/221737095828061. “I walk the journey every day with those who suffer from some form of dementia, along with that person’s family, loved one, friend or caregiver,” said Jeannie Grates, community outreach manager at Inspira Arrowhead. “We are committed to helping remove the stigma surrounding dementia through information and to connect those in every socioeconomic group in Glendale with the resources and information they need.” For more information about Glendale’s initiative and to connect to resources, visit glendaleaz.com/ DementiaFriendlyGlendale or Dementia Friendly America at dfamerica.org.

‘Jetsons’ influence shows no signs of fading away BY J.D. HAYWORTH
S
Glendale Star Columnist
omewhere between the promise of our national paternity embodied in George Washington and the perils of dystopian dictatorship described by George Orwell, we encounter the everyday “foibles of the future” through the animated experiences of George Jetson. While many of us got better acquainted with Washington through our studies of American history and later encountered Orwell’s compelling fiction in literature class, baby boomers got to know George Jetson and family through television. “The Jetsons” premiered on ABC Sept. 23, 1962, so the cartoon classic will celebrate its 60th anniversary
next month. As for the fictional father of that 21st century family, series canon proclaims his date of birth as July 31, 2022. Happy belated birthday, George! Tim Donnelly and the New York Post chose that day to chronicle “What ‘The Jetsons’ predicted right — and wrong — about the future.” Aside from cataloging the “hits” (videophones — think Skype and Zoom; flat-screen televisions — no further explanation required; and robotic maids — not Rosey, but Roomba); the “misses” (still no machines to simultaneously comb your hair and brush your teeth, nor prepare fabulous meals with the touch of a button); and
the “maybes” (personal jetpacks do exist, but not for consumers, and flying cars still remain “in development”), the article also notes the series casts a very long shadow despite a very short run — only 24 episodes over a single season in its original iteration. So, it’s “Back to the Future” for an even earlier generation, to explain the outsized influence of this cartoon series. No less a publication than Smithsonian Magazine put it this way: “‘The Jetsons’ stands as the single most important piece of 20th Century Futurism,” it proclaimed in an article published a decade ago, when the show celebrated a half-century. Why? Entire books have been written on the subject. British author and professor Danny
Graydon, wrote his book “Cartoon Classics: ‘The Jetsons’” in 2011. In observing both his “American Cousins” and the tenor of their times from a safe transatlantic distance, he offered this analysis: “It coincided with this period in American history when there was renewed hope. … There was something very attractive about the nuclear family with good honest values thriving well into the future.” Through the eyes of a certain 4-yearold, enthralled with the 1962 orbital flights of John Glenn and Scott Carpenter, and eagerly awaiting Wally Schirra’s turn in October, the premiere of “The Jetsons” reaffirmed the reality of the Space Age but also kindled a form of initial introspection about the concept of age and aging — also
Now comes the Big Truth. The American system of choosing who governs us is based not on getting you to vote but on getting you to stay home. And it’s working incredibly well. Let me explain. Arizona is a state of 7.3 million people, with 5.7 million residents age 18 or older. That’s our voting age population. However, as of primary day, only 4.2 million had actually registered to vote. The other 1.5 million Arizonans have decided to sit out this civic duty entirely or have been disqualified for a felony conviction or some other factor. Then the Democrats and Republicans — I see little difference between the two — really got busy. In Arizona, 1.4 million voters have registered without choosing a party. For this co-
hort to vote in the primary, each voter had to jump through multiple hoops to choose a party ballot. That further winnowed election participants. So did the relentless advertising blitz that accompanied this primary. Campaign finance reports for the Arizona governor’s race alone show upward of $40 million spent before July 15. It was a hideous noise fest, with vicious allegations of unfitness, lying and lawbreaking. Any rational person consuming these ads could only conclude the primary races were being contested by criminals and morons. Voters acted accordingly. When the last ballot is counted — by county elections officials or some cabal or fraudsters — about 1.4 million Arizonans will have chosen a candidate. The parties will natter on about “record primary turnout,” despite the turnout hovering around 30% of reg-
istered voters. Only about 1 in 4 Arizona adults will have voted. Count everybody including children, and the voting rate sinks to about 1 in 5 residents. Lucky us, we’ll get to do it all again in November. This electoral system of ours is irrevocably broken, delivering us the least and the slightest, bitter partisans, conspiracy loons and the power-mad. My proof of this failure? The best way to judge how well systems work is by how frequently they are adopted. Amazon Prime, launched in 2005, counts 163 million customers nationwide. About 95% of American adults go online. When in pursuit of information, about 90% choose Google, launched in 1998, as their go-to search engine. These systems work. Then there’s the election system,

or years, we have heard a few thousand tales about election theft, conspiracies and fraud. “They,” we are told, hand-pick certain candidates to win, rigging the balloting to get their preferred outcome. This conspiracy leverages evil ballot-counting machines, or the pens used to bubble ballots, or “mules,” or ballot harvesting, or human hijinks. Whatever. I have heard it all, most of it going in one ear and out the other. Until now. Because now I want to tell you about the real election disgrace, the one that happened Aug. 2 — primary day — when a handful of us helped determine the future of Arizona for all of us. You’ve heard about the Big Lie.

known as “growing up.” For the grown-ups raising that 4-year-old and seeing their own nuclear family expand, even as a nuclear confrontation between the United States and the USSR loomed later that fall, “The Jetsons” provided a form of escape and much-needed laughter. There’s no doubt the show’s creators, William Hanna and Joseph Barbera, saw “The Jetsons” as a variation on the successful theme they first developed with “The Flintstones.” After introducing America to the “modern Stone Age family,” it only made sense to mine for comedy gold from the other end of history’s timeline. As noted, those efforts were initially met with limited ratings success. But to paraphrase Gen. Douglas MacArthur, “Old TV shows never die. … They return in reruns.” And the influence of “The Jetsons” shows no signs of fading away. Etched into the memory of that 1962 4-year-old is the saga of Astro, the Jetsons’ dog. Six intervening decades have done nothing to diminish
the youthful angst experienced when viewing the story of a billionaire who initially owned the canine named “Tralfaz” lost him, only to have George and family find the dog and rename him… then the ensuing legal verdict from “Jury-Vac” to award the pet to the man with all the money. And even now, a feeling of relief returns when recalling the realization of the billionaire that Astro ought to remain with the family who took him in. With all due respect to the research of the scholars and analysis of the social commentators, it isn’t the gleaming gadgetry of the future that accounts for the enduring influence of “The Jetsons,” it’s the relationships found within the family. Like Elroy and Astro… a boy and his dog. A king of old put it this way in his ancient, sacred text: “There is nothing new under the sun.” That’s the truth, by George. J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10, Phoenix, from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 19952007.

founded in 1776. It’s never been easier to vote. The ballot comes by mail, you bubble it in and mail it, postage free. Or you drive a couple miles one or two Tuesdays a year and wait in a line typically shorter than the Safeway checkout. You even get a sticker for voting, so you feel like a hero for one day. Even so, 3 in 4 Arizona adults can’t be bothered. That’s the Big Truth underlying the 2022 primaries. The shame wasn’t how “they” counted who did show up. The shame was the lousy choices and millions of dollars that persuaded 75% of us not to bother showing up at all. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

Community is the key for Papa Ed’s Ice Cream BY SCIANNA GARCIA
W
Glendale Star Staff Writer
hen Linda Moran-Whittley lost her husband, Ed, to lung cancer in 2006, she came to the realization that life is unexpected and, for that reason, she wanted to start doing something she truly loved. After leaving her previous career, she opened Papa Ed’s in 2008, right in the heart of Downtown Glendale after finding a perfect space in what used to be a garage in Caitlin Court. She would share the space with a close friend, with the ice cream parlor being located in the back surrounded by a relaxing garden. “My backyard is your backyard,” Moran-Whittley often tells customers, referring to the garden which she said adds to an enjoyable customer experience. Now, for the third year in a row, Papa Ed’s has won the award for best ice cream in Glendale. As a big believer in local sourcing, Papa Ed’s serves products from Karen’s Creamery, an ice cream company out of Avondale. With over 15 years of ice-cream-
making experience, Karen’s Creamery is known for her premium, custom flavors for which she has recently won the North American Best New Flavor of Ice Cream award. Featuring flavors such as lemon cheesecake biscuit, aztec chocolate, caramel toffee crunch and vegan pistachio cherry, Moran-Whittley is proud to serve the product she knows customers continue to enjoy. Papa Ed’s rotating menu features a variety of flavors, with the most popular being butter pecan. Some other customer favorites are honey lavender, a honey-based cream flavor with pieces of lavender, and monster cookie, a leveled-up cookies and cream with three types of cookies. Moran-Whittley also offers vegan and dairy-free options, the raspberry sorbet being the most popular dairy-free flavor. Aside from its bestseller, the shop also sells iced teas and bottled drinks, ice cream sandwiches, parfaits and floats, among others. The Papa Ed’s menu is featured on 14 different platforms, so customers can be
educated on the flavors the shop is currently offering. As a member of the local merchants association, Moran-Whittley said her dedication to the local community remains a large part of Papa Ed’s. “Community is probably one of the main reasons I started the business,” she said. “I wanted to come somewhere and be able to provide a quality, affordable product to my neighbors, the community and then, in turn, give back. I also love being part of my fellow business community. I frequent my neighboring businesses because I truly believe in shopping locally.” One example of Moran-Whittley’s commitment to the community is the charity tip jar, which she has been using for the past 14 years. The proceeds from the tip jar are given to organizations chosen by Papa Ed’s, typically a dog-related charity, but has been donated to other organizations deserving help as well. Along with the new property owners, Packer Family Photography, Moran-Whittley is able to plan community

American Furniture Warehouse opens at Christown Spectrum BY DOYOON KIM
A
Glendale Star Staff Writer
merican Furniture Warehouse (AFW) now has a store at the Christown Spectrum Mall in Phoenix, located at 1646 W. Montebello Avenue. Having opened on Aug. 1, the new store marks the company’s 16th location. This is the company’s third satellite store in Arizona; AFW currently has two stores in Gilbert and Glendale, respectively. The space was formerly occupied by a Costco, which closed in September 2021. “We’ve been looking for a long time to get something in Phoenix for
the last 10 years,” said Nolan Morrison, real estate and development executive with AFW. “When (the) Christown Mall opened up, it made a lot of sense for us.” The Christown location offers 120,000 square feet of show floor and 30,000 square feet of warehouse space, which AFW will be using to display its extensive furnishing inventory. Headquartered in Englewood, Colorado, AFW is Colorado’s largest furniture retailer company but is looking to expand into the Arizona market. The company has grown to become one of the top furniture retailers in America, with 10 locations in Colo-
rado and three in Texas, to go along with the three in the Valley. In addition, AFW regularly involves itself in the community by contributing time, monetary support and donations to nonprofit organizations, community events and school programs. The company has received numerous awards, including the National Home Furnishings Association Retailer of the Year, Furniture Today’s Retailer of the Year and many others. “We are excited to open our newest store and will be able to better serve our many customers in Phoenix,” founder and CEO Jake Jabs said. “We will deliver the same great prices and the same great service that we do at
our Gilbert and Glendale stores.” American Furniture Warehouse provides quality, affordable home furnishings and accessories to customers with an extraordinary amount of selection available. Customers will be able to find items for all categories including office, home entertainment, dining, bedrooms, patio, etc. “Our strategy is to fill in the Phoenix market with more satellite stores so people don’t have to travel as far,” Morrison said. “We will have the same products at this location that our customers are expecting at our other locations. Our product line is unique. We have so much product available.”
Glendale physicians welcomed to Optima Medical’s Peoria office BY ABIGAIL LACOMBE

Glendale Star Staff Writer
oining Arizona’s leading primary care provider, Optima Medical welcomes Dr. Gerald B. Harris and Theresa Eblin to its Peoria office. Both physicians are now taking appointments at the Peoria office, which is located at 8914 N. 91st Avenue, Suite 100. In an effort to make the transition of Harris and Eblin smoother, insurance companies will be notified of the move
and patient records will be transferred. Glendale patients with long-standing appointments will also be honored. Harris, an internist, has practiced medicine for two decades. He received his medical degree from the Western University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. “Joining Optima Medical will allow us to bring our patients expanded services and coordination of care,” Harris said. “Patients should be reassured that they will continue to receive care from
the same staff and providers, as well as new team members.” Theresa Eblin, a family nurse practitioner, has been in her practice for the last 39 years. She received her master’s in nursing education from Grand Canyon University and her master’s in nursing/family nurse practitioner from the University of Phoenix. “Optima Medical will allow me to continue to provide the best patient care to my patients,” Eblin said. “Their focus on preventative care will help
me to continue to advocate for my patients.” Optima Medical continues its mission to provide the best medical care in Arizona by improving its patients’ quality of life so that they can “Live Better, Live Longer.” Bringing Harris and Eblin to the Peoria office brings Optima Medical one step closer to that goal. Patients looking to schedule an appointment or ask additional questions can call 623-877-0100.

features 16 different ice cream flavor options, unlike what others around the Valley offer. “We also make homemade waffle cones, and there’s not alot of businesses that do that anymore,” she said. “I think the waffle cones combined with Karen’s premium ice cream is the ticket for our unique menu.” Whittley said that although summertime is typically slow for all the businesses in Downtown Glendale, Papa Ed’s sees a majority of crowds during events hosted by the city of Glendale such as holiday festivals or parades. Papa Ed’s Instagram page often updates customers on new flavors and also mentions sweet deals. It can be found at @papaedsicecream.
events that are family based at the property, which incorporate both of the businesses. Moran-Whittley owes the success of Papa Ed’s to both the excellent customer service herself and five other employees provide. “All the people that are working here have the same investment that I do, which is to be sure that when someone walks in that door, they are greeted and they know that this is a family-friendly location,” she said. “We love talking to them and spending time with them to make sure that they always have a pleasant experience while they’re here.” In addition to the customer service, Moran-Whittley finds her menu, which

Glendale native participates in maritime warfare exercise BY CHIEF MASS COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST JOHN SORENSEN
A
Navy Office of Community Outreach
2018 Glendale High School graduate and Glendale native is serving in the U.S. Navy as part of the world’s largest international maritime warfare exercise, Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC). Petty Officer 2nd Class Jason Corrales is an operations specialist aboard USS William P. Lawrence, currently operating out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. A Navy operations specialist is responsible for communicating with helicopters, helping their navigation and assisting with helicopter tactical operations. Corrales uses skills and values simi-
lar to those learned in Glendale. “My pops taught me discipline in life, which made the military a lot easier,” Corrales said. As the world’s largest international maritime exercise, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain cooperative relationships critical to ensuring safety at sea and security on the world’s oceans. RIMPAC 2022 is the 28th exercise in the series that began in 1971. The theme of RIMPAC 2022 is “Capable, Adaptive, Partners.” The participating nations and forces exercise a wide range of capabilities and demonstrate the inherent flexibility of maritime forces. These capabilities range
from disaster relief and maritime security operations to sea control and complex warfighting. The relevant, realistic training program includes gunnery, missile, anti-submarine and air defense exercises, as well as amphibious, counter-piracy, mine clearance operations, explosive ordnance disposal, and diving and salvage operations. “I’m looking forward to the sports, in particular basketball, and track and field during RIMPAC,” Corrales said. Serving in the Navy means Corrales is part of a team taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense
Strategy. “We protect the waters and the air so free trade can continue around the globe,” Corrales said. With more than 90% of all trade traveling by sea, and 95% of the world’s international phone and internet traffic carried through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to a strong and ready Navy. According to Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Gilday, four priorities will focus efforts on sailors, readiness, capabilities and capacity. “For 245 years, in both calm and rough waters, our Navy has stood the

will command the air component. “Picking up petty officer second class in my rate with only on-the-job training is something I’m very proud of,” Corrales said. During RIMPAC, a network of capable, adaptive partners train and operate together to strengthen their collective forces and promote a free and open Indo-Pacific. RIMPAC 2022 contributes to the increased interoperability, resiliency and agility needed by the Joint and Combined Force to deter and defeat aggression by major powers across all domains and levels of conflict. As a member of the U.S. Navy, Corrales and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes. “I was the first in my family to join the military,” Corrales added. “To my family, that means a lot. The element of family sacrifice isn’t lost on me and my family.” Additional information about RIMPAC is available at cpf.navy.mil.
watch to protect the homeland, preserve freedom of the seas and defend our way of life,” Gilday said. “The decisions and investments we make this decade will set the maritime balance of power for the rest of this century. We can accept nothing less than success.” Hosted by Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet, RIMPAC 2022 will be led by Commander, U.S. 3rd Fleet, who will serve as Combined Task Force (CTF) commander. Royal Canadian Navy Rear Adm. Christopher Robinson will serve as deputy commander of the CTF, Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Rear Adm. Toshiyuki Hirata as the vice commander, and Fleet Marine Force will be led by U.S. Marine Corps Brig. Gen. Joseph Clearfield. Other key leaders of the multinational force will include Commodore Paul O’Grady of the Royal Australian Navy, who will command the maritime component, and Brig. Gen.

Praise the Lord in what you say every day
A
s I travel the globe speaking at churches and leadership conferences, every once and a while, I meet someone special who brings refreshment, a beyond-the-borders approach to Christianity, and profound but straightforward wisdom. Such was the case when I met Jimmy Lim in Singapore in 1999. He is a character who has godly character. I’ve visited Singapore over 40 times and always make it a point to call Jimmy and Christine Lim. There’s no place like Singapore. I’ve been to most of those places you’ve seen in the movie “Crazy Rich Asians.” When you enter Jimmy’s three-story house in Singapore, you can’t help but notice his four pet parrots. Christine, Jimmy’s wife, and Jimmy teach their parrots Bible verses and sayings. As I was having breakfast one morning, Jessie, their yellow Amazon parrot, said in a perfect Singlish accent, “For the Bible tell me so.” I started to laugh. The parrots know perfect Singapore English. One evening at 11 p.m., Jimmy came home, and one of his parrots started squawking loudly, “Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah!” At first, Jimmy tried to calm the parrot down. “Be quiet! You’ll wake the neighbors! Quiet!” As Jimmy recalls this incident, he gives me the intense Jimmy look and says: “Then I remember the Bible verse ‘Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!” Jimmy continues, “Then I say to the parrot, ‘OK, I cannot stop you. You have breath. You must praise the Lord.’” All I could do was smile and think, Jimmy’s right; that parrot must praise the Lord. Simple,
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist
profound, trusting, believing, just what the Lord wants. I resonate with the verse Jimmy quoted. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” There are songs about this verse. Psalm 34:1 said, “His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Notice the connection with the words “breath” and “mouth.” There’s a story “behind the story” that will blow your mind if you are open to it. I found it in the music group 2nd Chapter of Acts’ Facebook page. Read what Sandra Thurman Caporale, from the Memorial Church of Christ in Houston, wrote about letting everything that has breath praise the Lord. “There was a moment when Moses had the nerve to ask God what his name is. God was gracious enough to answer, and the name he gave is recorded in the original Hebrew as YHWH. Over time we’ve arbitrarily added an ‘a’ and an ‘e’ to get YaHWeH, presumably because we prefer vowels. “But scholars and rabbis have noted that the letters YHWH represent breathing sounds or aspirated consonants. When pronounced without intervening vowels, it sounds like breathing. First, we YH or inhale. Then we WH or exhale. “So, a baby’s first cry, their first breath, speaks God’s name. Or a deep sigh calls His name or a groan or gasp
too heavy for mere words. Even atheists or agnostics say His name, unaware that their very breath is giving constant acknowledgment to God. Likewise, a person leaves this earth with their last breath when God’s name no longer fills their lungs. “So, when I can’t utter anything else, is my cry calling out His name? When you are breathing, you are speaking His name constantly. So, is it heard the loudest when I’m the quietest? In sadness, we breathe heavy sighs. In joy, our lungs feel almost like they will burst. In fear, we hold our breath and be told to breathe slowly to help us calm down. When we’re about to do something hard, we take a deep breath to find our courage. When I think about it, breathing gives him praise, even in the most challenging moments. “This reality is beautiful and fills me with emotion whenever I grasp the thought. God chose to give himself a name that we can’t help but speak every moment we’re alive. All of us, always, everywhere. Waking, sleeping, breathing, with the name of God on our lips.” If you don’t know what YHWH or Yahweh means, here’s your definition: YHWH is a proper name (like Peter or John) built out of the word meaning “I am,” reminding us that God absolutely is. It has an implied sacredness attached to it. YHWH reminds me of the creation of humankind in the Bible in Genesis 1:7. “Then the Lord God formed
Adam … and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being.” So I don’t think it is a coincidence in John 20:21-22 when the risen Jesus said to his surprised and ecstatic disciples, “… as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” You can praise God too little, but you can never praise him too much. So the psalmist David, in Psalm 113:3, wrote, “From the rising of the sun to its going down, the Lord’s name is to be praised.” Here’s your takeaway. The more you focus on problems, the more problems will focus on you. When you are overwhelmed by difficulties, praising God is the last thing you feel like doing. But it’s the first thing you should do. Praise gets your attention off yourself and onto YHWH. Consider this. You might as well praise the Lord. You’re already doing it anyway. And all the parrots say, “Hallelujah.” Ed Delph is a noted author of 10 books, as well as a pastor, teacher, former business owner and speaker.

WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of divi-sion of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should consult your attorney if you want the community prop-erty presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. ADVERTENCIA-INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propiedades adquiridas par las partes durante su matrimonio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para fines de la división de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disfunción o separación legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cualquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedará determinado por las causas de la escritura correspondiente que describen su tenencia (par ej., tenencia conjunta, tenencia en comt-in o propiedad comunitaria) y no para la presunción de propiedad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presunción comunitaria quede registrada en la escritura de la propiedad, debería consultar con un abogado. Published: Glendale Star, July 21, 28, Aug 4, 11, 2022 / 47945

NOTICE:
Most service advertisers have an ROC# or "Not a licensed contractor" in their ad, this is in accordance to the AZ state law.
Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC): The advertising requirements of the statute does not prevent anyone from placing an ad in the yellow pages, on business cards, or on flyers. What it does require under A.R.S. §32-1121A14(c) <http://www.azleg.gov/ars/32/01165.htm> , is that the advertising party, if not properly licensed as a contractor, disclose that fact on any form of advertising to the public by including the words "not a licensed contractor" in the advertisement. Again, this requirement is intended to make sure that the consumer is made aware of the unlicensed status of the individual or company. Contractors who advertise and do not disclose their unlicensed status are not eligible for the handyman's exception.
