Police crack down on ‘takeovers’

BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Police have a well-known affinity for doughnuts—but not when it comes to car clubs and “takeovers.”

Over the last month, Glendale police officers arrested dozens of car-club members for a variety of alleged illegal activities.

It should be noted these are not the type of car clubs that restore and display classic autos from decades past. The car clubs the police are targeting allegedly close off intersections late at night for impromptu shows.

While the takeover crews often record their actions to post on social media, they also become stars of unintended footage: Glendale’s high-tech Real-Time Crime Center collects video from traffic cameras

around the city, which they use to quickly break up the stunts and arrest participants.

Sgt. Patrick Valenzuela Jr., the Glendale Police Traffic Unit night-time supervisor, explained what a “takeover” means.

“It’s pre-planned, where they’ll go to an intersection with 100 to 200 cars. They block all four ways of the intersection and

then cars go in the middle and do burnouts and doughnuts,” he said.

The thrill is not just in the moment but also creating footage for social media sites of burnouts and “drifting” (another name for spinning circles).

“They’ll have someone doing video with a camera or their cell phones,” Valenzuela SEE TAKEOVERS PAGE 4

tion and the right to sell the property,” Commissioner Vern Crow said. “But I have trouble with the streets dumping out onto the residential streets, and I have some concerns about the density.”

Commission Chair Gary Hirsch emphatically voted to reject the request.

“If this had been a privately-owned piece of property and it had not been for the public enjoyment and not a public park open space, I would probably feel a little bit differently,” Hirsch said.

“I just cannot support this application in any way.”

A few days after the planning vote, Collins responded to a question on the process in an email: “The preliminary plat has not been approved and the (Glen Lakes) sale has not closed. The general plan and zoning requests, that are necessary for a preliminary plat approval, are still in process and will need city council approval.”

According to an April amendment to the sales contract, Towne Development is not required to close on the $6.5 million deal until its preliminary plan is approved.

– Jane Bachmann “The proposed plan will include pedestrian bike paths, landscaped area entry features, decorative themed walls, parks, playgrounds and other public or commonly owned open space,” Collins said.

That hardly convinced neighbors who opposed the project.

Among the residents to speak was Jane Bachmann of the group Save Glen Lakes, which has battled the city over development of the golf course for more than a year.

“It will be the haves and the havenots,” Bachmann said. “People in their high-density living quarters and then there will be us, in the surrounding areas, with our spacious properties.”

Kathy Wheeler also spoke against the Trevino development.

“Traffic will be terrible,” she said.

“This neighborhood has been trouble free for 40 years …” She urged the commission to keep the current parks and open space zoning.”

The commission sided with those against the development.

said.

Though the takeovers usually happen late at night, with little traffic, getting caught in one can range from an annoyance to dangerous.

“They have a saying: ‘Get back or get hit.’ They are not concerned if they hit spectators or other cars when they’re spinning out of control,” Valenzuela said.

“It’s a safety hazard for everyone on the roadway. There’ve been incidents where people have been hit by people doing doughnuts.”

Other parts of the West Valley have been stages for street racing, some of which have had deadly consequences.

Sen. Paul Boyer, a Glendale resident who represents District 20, introduced legislation for stiffer penalties on racers and the creation of the Drag Racing Prevention Enforcement Fund to provide additional resources to local law enforcement agencies.

Boyer said Maryvale, just south of Glendale, has been a hotbed for street racers.

In Glendale, “We see less of the street racing. The drifting and burnouts, that’s a larger activity,” Valenzuela said.

He said the intersection takeover crews are “from other parts of the Valley. It’s not just a Glendale thing; they go to different parts of the Valley.”

In Glendale, according to Valenzuela, the car clubs gravitate to the Westgate Entertainment District and “some areas around 51st Avenue corridor.”

Glendale police officers used traffic camera footage to track and arrest some of the alleged takeover artists.

• “On Aug. 2, Glendale Police officers were working a street racing detail to catch or deter illegal street racing activities. … At approximately midnight, Officer Clubb was utilizing the cameras in the Real-Time Crime Center when he observed a black sedan, later positively identified as a black Toyota Camry … driving around the intersection area of 95th Avenue and Montebello Avenue. This intersection is an area

August 27, 2020 that has been heavily used by illegal street racing crews. … Officer Clubb observed the vehicle begin to do burnouts and doughnuts in the intersection, with the front seat passenger hanging out of the window and participating in the street racing and reckless driving activity by recording the activity on his cell phone. … (The suspect in the passenger seat) said that he and his friend watch a lot of street racing videos and follow street racers on social media.

He said his friend wanted to try doing some doughnuts, and it was their first time doing anything like this.”

“Defendant was seen on camera involved in street racing. The defendant was doing burnouts and spinning in circles in the middle of the intersection at 95th Avenue and Cardinals Way in the city of Glendale. The defendant was stopped after officers caught up with him after fleeing this intersection that had several spectators and vehicles blocking the intersection for the defendant while he was doing his burnouts. After the defendant was stopped he made the spontaneous statement to police that he was watching the burnouts happen. When he was told that the police department watched the whole thing on camera and that it was recorded he admitted to being involved without questions. … During an inventory search a backpack was found in the trunk of his vehicle that he was the sole occupant of. The backpack contained a large amount of marijuana. The defendant was also in possession of a loaded Glock 9mm handgun with an extended magazine holding 15 rounds.”

Valenzuela said it is common for a takeover arrest to lead to other charges.

“There’s definitely some criminal history with some of the people we’re contacting,” he said.

His advice to anyone who witnesses an intersection takeover: “Pull off safely to the side of the road. Don’t get involved in it, and call 911.”

The dozens of arrests Glendale police officers have made of takeover artists over the last month are making an impact, according to Valenzuela.

“We’ve seen a decrease the last couple of weekends,” he said. “Our enforcement efforts are leading them to think twice about coming into Glendale.”

Glendale police investigate shooting deaths of two

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Glendale Police Department is investigating a potential double homicide.

According to Tiffany Ngalula, a police spokeswoman, officers responded to a shooting call near 65th Avenue and Bethany Home Road around 10 p.m.

Aug. 14.

“Two gunshot victims were later located near 6300 N. 64th Drive,” she said. “Both victims were treated medically and transported to a local hos-

pital, where they were both later pronounced deceased.”

She said one of the victims was Malik Davon Lee Collins, 24. Collins was convicted of aggravated robbery in 2017.

The other victim was a 16-year-old boy that police have not identified.

“The suspect in this case is still outstanding. Our detectives are currently investigating the case, and no further information will be released,” Ngalula said.

Peoria Unified School District board meeting

BY BRIAN CANO SR.

Glendale Star Staff Writer

On Aug 13, the Peoria Unified School District governing board held its first meeting of the new school year to discuss what students and families can expect from Peoria’s reopening plan for its schools.

New PUSD Superintendent Jason Reynolds said the district will continue to monitor Arizona Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 reports to determine the level of risk.

According to Reynolds, AZDH school reopening benchmarks must be met before in-person classes can resume.

“We must continue to act responsibly.

We must continue to be diligent with our safety protocols. We must continue to keep the health and well-being of ourselves as well as each other at the forefront of our organizational and our personal decision making,” Reynolds said.

The district announced on its website its plan for on-site locations for students who need a place to be until schools open for in-person learning.

Valerie B. Kline, a parent of a PUSD student, wrote in a letter to PUSD of-

ficials, “I am extremely disappointed with the options for on-site support for students needing a place to go during the day beginning Aug. 17.

“I hope the PUSD will do a better job the next time they ask for parental input in regard to their needs.”

Also at the board meeting, PUSD Chief Operations Officer Shawn Duguid said PUSD will continue to provide free breakfast and lunch service to over 78 bus and van routes daily.

According to peoriaunified.org, “Meals will be available for curbside pick-up from 10:30 a.m. to noon, Monday - Friday. Lunch will include hot or cold entree, fruit, vegetable and milk.

Breakfast will include an entree, fruit, juice, and milk.”

“It is exciting, although it is very different this year,” said Danielle Airey, a PUSD spokeswoman. “We had a remarkably smooth start to the school year on all of our 42 schools.”

Airey said the district handed out over 17,000 laptops to its students and over 96% of all Peoria school students attended class on the first day.

The district hired over 150 new teachers, whose training will focus on the online teaching approach, she said.

Amazon set to deliver jobs around West Valley

BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

In the West Valley, Amazon is delivering—and not just hats, mouse traps, electronics, books (which is how the company started) and thousands of other items people have been ordering during the pandemic.

Amazon is about to deliver jobs by the hundreds.

Last week, Amazon said it was creating 11 new sites across the Valley— including two major facilities in Goodyear and a unique “Merch by Amazon” store in Avondale. Amazon is building another cross-dock facility on Sweetwater Avenue and Litchfield Road in Surprise, near northwest Glendale and Peoria, so trucks will be rumbling up and down Loop 303.

Though Amazon has been doing great business since shutdowns and stayhome orders during the COVID-19 pandemic, the West Valley expansion “isn’t necessarily tied to the pandmeic,” said Matthew High, regional director of Amazon fulfillment.

“We planned out several years in advance and put a process into where we wanted to locate our facilities. We look at the workforce and community partners—and Phoenix has an abundance of talented workforce. We aim to be as close to our customers as possible,” High said.

He said Amazon plans to have the robotic fulfillment center up and running in Goodyear by the end of the year.

In it, High said vacuum-cleaner-sized robots will help sort and pick inventory.

“It will increase efficiency for our

Thank you to our wonderful customers for your patience and support during these trying times.

At an Amazon Robotics fulfillment center being built on Yuma Road and South Bullard Avenue in Goodyear, 1,000 humans will work alongside robots. Also in Goodyear, Amazon is building a cross-dock facility at Indian School Road and Cotton Lane on 90 acres it purchased for $20 million. (Photos courtesy Amazon)

associates and cut down on shipping cycle time,” he said.

The new sites are expected to create more than 3,000 jobs with a minimum $15-per-hour wage “and comprehensive benefits starting on day one.”

Near Yuma Road and South Bullard Avenue in Goodyear, construction workers are creating an 855,000-squarefoot warehouse.

There, according to a press release, “Employees will work alongside Amazon Robotics to pick, pack and ship small items to customers such as books, electronics and toys.”

In 2021, Amazon plans a cross-dock facility in Goodyear and a delivery

station in Surprise, creating hundreds more full-time jobs in the West Valley.

Less than a month after striking out with Nike, which backed out of a plan for a facility here, Goodyear hit a home run with the largest retailer in the world.

“We just can’t get enough Amazon in Goodyear,” gushed Mayor Georgia Lord.

Local resident Amber Kinion, for one, is less thrilled. “Litchfield (Road) used to be so peaceful! Now if you’re out in the morning you get caught in a wave of Amazon vans and if you’re out in the evening you’ll be waiting for a gas pump because they’re all there,” she commented on the West Valley View’s Facebook post about Amazon plans.

Those looking for jobs—especially in the pandemic economy that has tossed thousands out of work—will side with Lord.

Though robots will be doing some of the work, the Goodyear Amazon Robotics center will create more than 1,000 human jobs.

This will be Amazon’s second robotics facility in the state and the only Amazon Robotics facility in the metro Phoenix area.

More than 1,000 full-time associates will work alongside Amazon Robotics to pick, pack and ship smaller customer items such as books, toys and kitchenware. The new four-story facility is the largest building ever built in the city—the fulfillment center’s footprint is 855,000 square feet. With four levels, the building spans more than 2.3 million square feet.

In 2008, Amazon opened its first Goodyear fulfillment center, where more than 600 full-time employees pick, pack and ship large items to customers, such as oversized boxes of diapers, dog food and paper towels.

Goodyear is also home to a delivery station and office team.

Currently, more than 900 full-time employees support Amazon operations in Goodyear.

High said Amazon will hire for a variety of positions, from associates who pick and pack merchandise to IT and engineers.

The cross-dock transportation hub will be at Indian School Road and Cotton Lane, High said.

Last month, Amazon bought the 90acre site for $20 million.

The Goodyear location will be Amazon’s first cross-dock facility in the state. It is also scheduled to open by year’s end with 1,000 full-time positions. The 600,000-square-foot building will support customer fulfillment by receiving large orders of inventory and redistributing products to fulfillment centers across the company’s operations network.

“Amazon recognizes Goodyear as a top choice among cities in which to do business,” Lord said. “Despite the pandemic, development in our city is thriving. The future is very bright in the city of Goodyear, and we are thrilled that Amazon will contribute to our continued growth.”

As Amazon announced its wide-ranging plans, it joined politicians and job seekers in celebrating.

“It’s a great day for Amazon,” High said.

Ducey won’t interfere with district reopening decisions

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Gov. Doug Ducey won’t intercede or criticize school districts that opt to reopen for in-class instruction even though their communities don’t meet the benchmarks set by his own health director.

“We want people to follow the benchmarks,” the governor said at a press briefing Aug. 19. The benchmarks are based on what the health department has decided are three key indicators of the spread of COVID-19.

Only two counties have reached that point: Apache and Yavapai.

And there is no indication when conditions in the other 13 counties will get to the place where the health department says schools can begin “hybrid” teaching, meaning a combination of virtual and in-person learning.

Newly released data from Maricopa County shows that about half the county—and almost all of the West Valley—is in a “red” zone, meaning that health officials advise against any reopening of campuses.

Health department spokesman Ron Coleman said that while some districts may show improvement in one or two of the three benchmarks being used to advise school districts on reopening, the map of a district will show the color of the category showing a substantial deviation from the metrics.

“So, if a district is meeting the benchmarks for minimal (green) on two metrics but substantial (red) on one, then it is considered to still be in the substantial category,” Coleman said.

“That hypothetical district would still be recommended to offer virtual learning because at least one metric is still in substantial and has not been lower than that for at least two weeks.

To move from substantial to moderate, or moderate to minimal, an area (whether district, ZIP, etc.) must have all metrics in at least that level or better for two weeks or longer,” he said.

But Ducey said he sees these benchmarks as less clear cut.

“They are guidelines,” the governor said. And he said there are other things that should be considered, like trends.

Newly released data from Maricopa County shows that about half the county—and almost all of the West Valley—is in a “red” zone. (Image courtesy Maricopa County Department of Health)

He also said there’s the separate question of dealing with those most directly involved.

“There are some parents that want, as soon as it’s possible, to get their children back into a classroom,” Ducey said. “And there are parents that we all know are not putting their child back in the classroom.”

The governor said the state is trying to “provide options” for both.

That’s only part of the issue.

“We also have some teachers that are in a vulnerable category or have an underlying health condition,” Ducey said. “And we will need online learning in this hybrid model.”

All 15 counties meet the first of the three benchmarks: two weeks where hospital visits due to COVID-like illnesses fall below 10% of the total.

And 11 counties are showing a twoweek decline in the total number of cases or, in the alternative, a case rate of less than 100 per 100,000 residents.

Cochise, Greenee, Pima and Pinal do not.

But only Apache, Cochise, Greenlee and Yavapai counties meet the third prong of having fewer than 7% of the tests for the virus come back positive.

COVID-19 may be just one of the health problems schools face.

“Arizona’s flu season goes about October to May, with our hardest months usually being January to March,” state Health Director Cara Christ said. She

promised a public relations campaign in hopes of getting as many people to take the vaccine which is now available.

“While it’s not 100% effective, it does significantly reduce hospitalization and complications and bad outcomes,” Christ said.

Ducey hinted that he might use some federal coronavirus dollars to help provide vaccines to those who may not have health insurance.

“I want to find a way that any Arizonan that wants to get a flu shot can get one,” he said. “Details to follow.”

The governor also put in a plug of sorts for those businesses that have been allowed to stay open to keep as many workers as they can out of the office.

The ultimate choice, Ducey said, is

up to employers. But he suggested that they may find advantages in what has become the new normal of telecommuting.

“Many employers have seen that their employees can be just as productive at home as they were inside the office,” he said.

The governor said that, as a matter of policy, he continues to support the policy of “you’re safer at home, if you don’t have anywhere else to go, if you can work at home.”

And if companies believe they need people in the workplace?

“We do ask this idea of socially and physically distancing, the wearing the mask, all those fundamentals,” Ducey said. He also said a lot of it depends on the nature of the work being done and the environment.

Glendale City Council approves development plans

BY BRIAN CANO SR.

Glendale Star Staff Writer

At a three-hour meeting Aug. 11, Glendale City Council approved 33 agenda items—though some were debated.

City council approved an ordinance to rezone the southeast corner of 83rd and Glendale avenues into a Planned Area Development (PAD) called G83 Plaza.

The land is east of U.S. 101 near the Westgate Entertainment District.

Councilwoman Joyce Clark said the site is not compatible with the surrounding area. According to Clark, 61% of the total of 8.2 acres are designated for a four-story, multifamily apartment complex.

“This proposal is located at the southeast corner of 83rd and Glendale avenues. It has remained a vacant parcel for at least 15 years due to the owner’s inability to acquire any users for this site.

As of this date, despite their request for a general planned amendment and rezoning, the owner still has no end users.

The owner is requesting carte blanche approval for a variety of uses on this site with no assurance that the conceptual plan offered will actually become a reality,” Clark said.

After discussion, council unanimously approved the G83 Plaza plan with two stipulations: The apartment buildings can be no more than three stories high and take up less than 50% of the developable land.

Council also approved a general plan

amendment to allow for development of Evergreen Loop 101 at West Bell Road.

Ken Watt, a Peoria resident, said the development would destroy a “scenic corridor.”

Shane Alleman, representing the project, said the applicant had a developer that was ready to bring forward “a high-quality” multifamily project.

“Evergreen is anxious to develop the site,” Allman said. “It’s not just a speculative development.”

Council also approved zoning for development of 10 acres near 107th and Northern avenues for “multifamily residential and commercial use.”

Glendale recently annexed this site bordering Peoria.

Council approved a contract for design and construction administration for a splash pad at O’Neil Park. Construction is to begin next year.

Council also approved various appointments and reappointments to boards, including: Lisa Baker as chair of the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC); Leslee Miele, Ezekiel Ojo and Elizabeth “Cooki” Peverini as CDAC members.

Calvin Carbello was appointed to the library advisory board.

In the public comments section of the meeting, Gary Livingston said city council needs a “watchdog” position.

“The word trust is described as one in which confidence is placed,” Livingston said. “My trust in the mayor and Councilman (Ray) Malnar is long gone.”

Teachers’ union sends letter to governor

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF On Aug. 21, the Arizona Education Association called on Gov. Doug Ducey “to implement a statewide COVID-19 school safety plan to ensure the health and safety of our children and their educators.”

According to its website, the teachers’ union has more than 20,000 members and is “the largest professional association for public school employees in Arizona.”

In a letter to Ducey, AEA President Joseph H. Thomas stressed a plan should include: • Mandate masks be worn statewide in schools and on buses until the end of the school year.

• Require safety protocols for school districts regarding COVID-19 exposure notification plans for employees and students.

• Cancel this year’s high-stakes standardized testing due to the disruptions related to COVID-19 rendering scores unreliable for the 2020-21 school year.

• Grant school districts flexibility toward meeting the requirement of 180 days of instruction due to impacts related to COVID-19.

• Provide the additional funding necessary to ensure that when schools open to students, schools can continue to provide safe and healthy learning environments needed for our students to excel.

“The Aug. 17 deadline, a date you called aspirational, has passed, and our schools are still not safe to return to,” Thomas wrote. “It is time for you to act in the best interests of our children and their educators.

“Arizona needs a statewide plan regarding school safety. The Arizona Education Association calls upon you to either initiate such a plan or pass the responsibility over to the Superintendent of Public Instruction to do so.”

Ducey did not respond to the letter.

He has not changed the “Arizona is Open for Learning” plan he unveiled July 23.

The Glendale Star

Ducey’s plan includes: • Regardless of when regular in-person classroom learning begins, each school district and charter school needs to begin teacher-led distance learning by the first day of their traditional instructional calendar.

• Schools will continue to be required to provide 180 days of instruction or equivalent hours, whether a family chooses to do so in person or via distance learning.

• To qualify for enhanced funding, schools must begin offering free on-site learning and support services for students who need a place to go during the day.

According to his website, “Gov. Ducey is providing maximum flexibility to local school leaders, recognizing they need the expertise of public health professionals and data to guide their decision-making.”

Thomas stressed that “students are best served with in-person instruction and with access to safe classrooms, qualified educators and healthy meals.

This is most critical for students of color, whose communities have been more susceptible to the virus and whose families are unable to be at home with the children because of professional obligations.”

Staff urgently needs proper personal protective equipment, Thomas stressed.

“Thousands of education support professionals have already reported to their school sites, bus barns and maintenance facilities. These public school employees are putting themselves and their families at risk while districts struggle to acquire the personal protective equipment and disinfecting supplies necessary to maintain a safe workforce,” Thomas wrote.

That, combined with many teachers taking early retirement, has led to confusion and a lack of safety, Thomas wrote: “Parents are struggling with how best to support and protect their children. Educators, parents and students need a plan for a safe return to our schools without jeopardizing their health or the health of their family or community.”

Stroke care nets recognition for Abrazo West

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Abrazo West Campus and Abrazo Arrowhead Campus received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Quality Achievement and Target: Stroke awards.

“Abrazo Health is dedicated to providing quality care for each of the communities we serve,” Abrazo CEO Brian Elisco said. “This recognition acknowledges our network’s commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most-appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence.”

He added that signs of stroke and other emergencies shouldn’t be ignored.

“Your health can’t wait. It’s important to seek care if you are experiencing a symptom that is affecting your ability to function. Don’t delay care, because it could lead to significant complications,” Elisco said.

Stroke facts: • A stroke can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability or even death, according to the CDC. • Stroke is the fifth leading cause of

death in the country.

• A stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. In either case, parts of the brain become damaged or die.

• Ischemic stroke occurs when blood clots or other particles block the blood vessels to the brain. Fatty deposits called plaque can also cause blockages by building up in the blood vessels.

• Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain.

Blood builds up and damages surrounding brain tissue.

Abrazo Health includes Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital, Abrazo Arrowhead Campus, Abrazo Central Campus, Abrazo Mesa Hospital, Abrazo Scottsdale Campus and Abrazo West Campus—along with freestanding emergency centers, urgent care, primary care and specialty physician practices. Abrazo Surprise Hospital and Abrazo Cave Creek Hospital are under construction.

Hispanic Democrats identify Arizona as a battleground

BY CATHERINE FUSILLO

Arizona was recently identified by Democrats as one of six battleground states for this fall’s election, a status that state lawmakers said has been 10 years in the making “We have about 10 years of Latino activism resistance that has been going on … and we have created this environment in Arizona” that has primed the state for a fight, said Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Phoenix.

Gallego lives in Glendale. His comments came during a virtual meeting of Hispanic state lawmakers that also named Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida and Pennsylvania as battlegrounds. The panel, organized by the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators, came on the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

The Facebook Live event discussed strategies for mobilizing Latino voters in battleground states.

A request for comment from the Arizona Republican Party was not immediately returned, but at least one political analyst agreed with Democrats that “Arizona is unequivocally a battleground state this year.”

Mike Noble, chief of research and

managing partner at OH Predictive Insights, said the election outcome in Arizona will be a “coin flip” in November.

“I not only think that Arizona will be incredibly close,” but it could be a tipping point state that ultimately decides who sits in the White House,”

Noble said.

He said former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, holds a slight edge in traditionally red-state Arizona. A Real Clear Politics roundup of polls on Aug. 12 gave Biden 47% of the vote in Arizona, compared to 45% for President Donald Trump.

Arizona Rep. Lorenzo Sierra, D-Avondale, agreed with Mejia and said turning the state blue in November is “just a matter of us continuing this work.”

While Arizona has not voted for a Democrat for president since the 1996 re-election of President Bill Clinton in 1996, Gallego believes the “steady hand” of Biden and his presumptive running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, will be attractive to voters after four years of Trump tumult.

“I think that’s going to be a calling card for them (voters) to support their ticket,” Gallego said.

“These voters have been used to Trump,” Gallego said during the “Si Se Vota” event. “We’re so used to being used as an excuse for whatever failed agenda from the Republican Party. None of those tactics work anymore.”

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF On Aug. 14, according to commercial real estate site Vizzda.com, First Industrial Realty Trust bought 840 acres formerly known as Allen Ranches for $70 million.

Glendale recently annexed the former unincorporated Maricopa County land, which stretches from West Bethany Road to the north and West Camelback Road to the south, with Cotton Lane and Citrus Road as east and west borders.

Litchfield Park and Waddell neighbors howled in protest over the plans to develop the sprawling farmland into hundreds of homes and a large industrial project.

A May 27 Glendale Star co-written editorial by Gary Blandino of

Litchfield Park and Brad Melton of Waddell insisted, “The owners of Allen Ranches have hatched a plan to bypass the wishes of Maricopa County and area residents by asking Glendale to annex their property and immediately rezone it to include a much larger commercial footprint than the county-approved plan would permit and a smaller, high-density residential component.

Half of the 800 lots in this new plan would be smaller than the smallest residential lot size designation for Maricopa County.”

The protests fell on deaf ears, as Glendale City Council approved the annexation and tentative development plan for about 200 acres of home development and 600 acres

of industrial development. Allen Ranches plans a staggering 9 million square feet of warehouse and manufacturing space, with construction costs of more than $50 million, according to a presentation.

Next up for annexation in the “New Frontier” area near Loop 303: Reems Ranch, 260 acres near Reems Road and Northern Avenue, just outside the Luke Air Force Base gates.

A public hearing at the Tuesday, Aug. 25, Glendale City Council meeting was to move forward on annexing Reems Ranch.

According to agenda material, “The proposed Reems Ranch site was issued a pre-annexation development agreement at the Aug. 27, 2019, city council public hearing. In

Cronkite News

The GOP still enjoys a numerical advantage in Arizona, with 34.8% of voters in the state registered as Republican in August, compared to 32.4% for Democrats and 31.9% listed as “other,” according to the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office.

But Gallego said Arizona is in a unique position for the 2020 elections, with changing demographics and the state’s existing Permanent Early Voting List making it an exciting state to watch. Gallego noted that 70% of Latino voters are registered to vote by mail in this election, which he believes “is really going to affect Republicans more than anything else.”

“I think they’re going to avoid vote-by-mail and Latinos are going to adapt by getting their ballots early and sending them out early or dropping them off at a polling place,” he said, adding that he is seeing excitement among Latino voters.

He said voters “have basically inoculated ourselves against the Trump administration and their attempts to divide us. We’ve prepared ourselves over the last 10 years for the day that we would be able to do something like this.”

addition, the proposed annexation was introduced at the Aug 11 city council workshop where the council provided consensus to move the annexation forward.”

Unlike Allen Ranches, which will have both residential and industrial development, its proximity to the air base means Reems Ranch can only have industrial development.

According to a June financial impact study on Reems Ranch development, “The potential types of users include: 1) an unoccupied shell building; 2) leased warehouse; and 3) leased manufacturing. …

“It is estimated that the light industrial development in Reems Ranch could support about 2,430 jobs at an average wage of $47,000.”

Recently annexed Allen Ranches sells for $70 million

West Valley native’s daughter speaks at Democratic convention

BY CHASE HUNTER AND TYLER MANION

Cronkite News

When Arizona native Kristin Urquiza wrote her dad’s obituary after his June 30 death from COVID-19, the Democratic National Convention was probably the furthest thing from her mind.

But that’s where Urquiza found herself last week, telling a national audience that her dad’s “only pre-existing condition was trusting Donald Trump, and for that, he paid with his life.”

Mark Anthony Urquiza was a West Valley native and 1981 Tolleson Union High School graduate who met his wife, Brenda, there. Their daughter remembered her late father and his struggles with health care under the Trump administration at the convention.

Urquiza, a former Maryvale resident, said she did not set out to become an advocate after the death of her father, Mark, but she has embraced the role.

“I did not at all expect it to gain as

Kristin Urquiza)

much attention as it did,” she said before her brief virtual address to the DNC. “For me, it was not a controversial obituary. It was just me sharing the truth.”

That obituary, featured in a New York Times story, blamed a failure of leadership by Trump and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey for her father’s death.

“From the moment my dad became

ill with coronavirus, I could trace back to the exact policy decisions and media communications that both Gov. Ducey and President Trump had taken,” Urquiza said.

Urquiza said in the weeks since her father’s death, she has learned of tens of thousands of people like her who related to her story. Many have even reached out to her.

Urquiza said she remains filled with grief over her father’s death, but she’s

For me, it was not a controversial obituary.

It was just me sharing the truth.”

– Kristin Urquiza decided to channel that energy into activism. She said she wants people to know that tragedies like her father’s death were preventable.

She has worked with people from Texas to New York, from Iowa to Arizona to “stand in solidarity of this call for a coordinated response to this pandemic” by the nation’s leaders.

“It just demonstrates that I’m not alone and that literally tens of thousands of people across the country are yearning for some sort of direction and leadership to show them how to be able to not only raise their voice but to keep themselves and their communities safe,” she said.

A choice between law and order and anarchy

BY REP. DEBBIE LESKO Glendale Star Guest Writer

There is a reason that the Arizona Police Association, the National Association of Police Organizations, the International Union of Police Associations and law enforcement from all over the nation have endorsed President Trump.

The brave, hard-working officers who protect our communities know who has their back, and it sure is not Joe Biden and the radical people he has surrounded himself with who have taken over the Democrat Party. Just look at what the Democrat leaders, including Biden, say and believe.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi,

a main speaker at Biden’s Democrat National Convention, said, “People are going to do what they’re going to do,” in response to being asked how she felt about the recent lootings, arson and violence taking place in our cities.

The darling of the progressive far left, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is serving as a Biden adviser and speaker at the Democrat National Convention, justified the abhorrent actions of the rioters and looters by saying they just needed to “shoplift some bread.”

And lest you think that this new strain of dangerous ideology and its actions

are reserved for only the likes of Pelosi and AOC, I would like to remind you that Joe Biden, the Democrat candidate for president of the United States, and his vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, have both called for cutting funding from the police. Harris even applauded the Los Angeles mayor when he cut $150 million from the police. Even Biden’s Unity Task Force with Bernie Sanders wants to make it easier to prosecute police officers and make it easier for police officers to be personally sued even if they are acting in good faith.

The political pandering and cowering to these extremist vandals and rioters are more than just embarrassing—it is dangerous. The progressive left has gone off the deep end, and all we hear is silence from Biden, Harris, Pelosi and Schumer. Does anyone really believe most of these riots taking place are just peaceful protests? Will anyone in the Democrat Party stand up and simply

say, “What you are doing is wrong!”

Apparently not.

I mean, what the heck is going on?

Do not look to the liberal media to give you the true story. They just keep echoing Democrat talking points that all these riots, lootings and violence are nothing more than “peaceful protests.”

That is a lie.

In what world are these people living where they think having fewer police officers is going to keep any of us safe?

This stuff used to be considered crazy and has now become mainstream in the Democrat Party!

You cannot make this stuff up. No one would believe it. But it is real. And it is happening before our very eyes.

Thankfully, we have President Donald J. Trump in the White House.

President Trump has stood shoulder to shoulder with our law enforcement officers. President Trump is committed to restoring law and order in our country and fighting back against the defund-the-police movement.

His commitments make communities like ours safe.

We have a clear choice in November between law and order and anarchy. Between safety and fear. Between community and chaos. We must take action and protect our nation and neighborhoods.

We must reelect Donald J. Trump.

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE

(Continued from previous page)

Mint to date. That’s why area residents who find their zip code on the distribution list today are being urged to call.

Since this special advertising announcement can’t stop anyone from buying up all the new 2020 Edition Arizona State Silver Bars they can get their hands on, the Federated Mint has not set a limit of how many Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bags residents can get – these are the bags pictured above that contain 10 individual Silver Vault Bags each. Everyone who gets these will be glad they did.

“Residents who want to cash in on the lowest ever State Minimum set by the private Federated Mint better hurry.

That’s because after the deadline ends, the State Minimum for these pristine half ounce Arizona State Silver Bars set by the Federated Mint will go up to $50 per bar no matter how many bars people get,” Withrow said.

“We’re bracing for all the calls and we’re doing the best we can, but with just hours left before the deadline ends, residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication need to call the National Silver Hotline,” Withrow said. ■

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you find your zip code on the distribution list printed in today’s publication read below then call: 1-800-280-2754 EXT. FMM4262

I keep calling and can’t get through: Keep trying. Right now everyone’s looking to cash in on the lowest State Minimum ever set by the Federated Mint. In fact, we won’t be surprised if thousands of residents order up as many Silver Vault Bags as they can get their hands on before the deadline ends. That’s because the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint has been slashed to the lowest ever at just $29 for each silver half ounce bar for the next 2 days for everyone who gets the vault bags. And since each Silver Vault Bag contains 10 pristine State Silver Bars for just $290 we’re guessing state residents will be claiming two or more bags while they’re up for grabs. But all those who really want to cash in are taking the Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bags containing 100 State Silver Bars before the deadline ends and the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint goes up to $500 per Vault Bag. In fact the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint is reduced even further for those getting the Jumbo Bags so just be sure to ask the National Silver Hotline operator for your discount. So if lines are busy keep trying.

How much are the Silver Vault Bags worth: It’s hard to tell how much these Silver Vault Bags could be worth since they are in pristine condition, but those who get in on this now will be glad they did. That’s because the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint goes up to $500 per bag after the deadline ends. So you better believe that at just $290 the Silver Vault bags are a real steal for everyone who beats the deadline.

Can I buy one State Silver Bar: Yes. But, the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of just $29 per bar applies only to residents who purchase a Silver Vault Bag(s). That means only those residents who order a Silver Vault Bag(s) or a Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bag get the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint. All single bar purchases, orders placed after the 2-day deadline and all non-state residents must pay the $50 per silver half ounce bar.

Why is the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint so low now: Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to get the silver at the lowest ever State Minimum set by the private Federated Mint. Now all residents who find the first three digits of their zip code on the Distribution List above are getting the Silver Vault Bags for themselves and all the solid .999 pure State Silver Bars found inside. The price for each Silver Vault Bag after the deadline ends is set at $500 which is $50 per bar, but residents who beat the 2-day deadline only cover the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of just $290 for each State Silver Vault Bag which is just $29 per bar as long as they call the National Silver Hotline before the deadline ends at: 1-800-280-2754 EXT. FMM4262. Hotlines open at 8:30 A.M. FRONT VIEW

Suicides increase during COVID-19 pandemic

BY HALEY LORENZEN Cronkite News

As social distancing and isolation continue throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, many states across the country are reporting an increase in reported drug overdoses and suicides, including Arizona.

The Arizona Department of Health Services has observed an increase in deaths due to suicide and drug overdose during the COVID-19 epidemic, according to Dr. Cara Christ, the department’s director.

“We are seeing an increase in drug overdose and in suicides, not just here in Arizona but nationally. Could some

of that be associated to the isolation and loneliness? That was one of the things that we were worried about,” she said during a recent news conference.

Arizona health officials declined requests for further comment on the subject. While publicly available data reveals that in Arizona there had been 48,120 suspected opioid overdoses between June 15, 2017, and Aug. 7, 2020, the health department does not share data that isolates the number of suicides since the start of the pandemic.

Nationally, there had been a 17.59% increase in drug overdoses from March

City of Glendale has Rocky Mountain Emmy winner

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences named Mike Harris one of its Silver Circle Society members. He will be honored at this year’s virtual Rocky Mountain Emmys Sept. 19.

Silver Circle Society inductees are accomplished television professionals who have served in the industry for at least 25 years.

“The 2020 class of Silver Circle Inductees represents the very best of the best,” said Doug Mummert, president of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter.

Harris is the on-air multimedia journalist for the city of Glendale. After graduating from Northern Arizona University, he served in several roles for local television stations. Harris has earned four Emmys and several National Press Photographer Awards.

ation, an adjunct professor at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and a volunteer for several organizations.

19 to May 19, as reported by the Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program.

Health officials in other states, such as Illinois and Washington, are voicing similar concerns, as the number of incidents continues to grow.

In a report released July 8 by the San Diego-based laboratory Millennium Health, an analysis of 500,000 urine drug tests found that there was an increase in the national usage of four drugs: non-prescribed fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin.

“Technologies like the ODMAP program (that) help us understand emerging data on both fatal and nonfatal overdoses in various regions in the country are really helping us get an earlier view of where there may be clusters of overdoses,” said Dr. Wilson Compton, the deputy director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a federal scientific research institute.

“We certainly have data from years of multiple studies showing that social isolation and social stress plays a significant role in relapse. And so, to the extent that relapsing to drug use can play a role in overdose, that’s a very likely pathway,” Compton added.

Many rehabilitation facilities have had to adapt practices to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Terros Health, a West Valley health care facility that specializes in mental health and substance abuse treatment, released guidelines for patients and employees.

One protocol the facility is taking is spacing individuals 6 feet apart during group meetings, which are common for those in recovery. Some meetings are also being held outside.

The psychological effects of isolation and loneliness have been well documented, but the effects of such stresses during a pandemic are still in the early stages of study.

Arizona health officials said they have seen increases in suicides and overdose deaths in recent months.

A study in China found that nearly 54% of 1,210 respondents “rated the psychological impact of the outbreak as moderate or severe,” while a Kaiser Family Foundation survey in April found that 45% of adults in the United States said their mental health has been negatively impacted during the pandemic.

Stress, isolation and loss of employment are some of the many reasons health officials believe there will be a continued increase in overdoses, said Adm. Brett P. Giroir, the assistant secretary for health at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

“COVID also affects those who are highly vulnerable, minorities, Native Americans, Native Alaskans, people who we know because of the social determinants also bear a lot of the disproportionate burdens of substance abuse,” Giroir said during a July 23 virtual discussion presented by the University of Southern California’s Institute for Addiction Science.

Compared to overdoses, the exact number of suicide increases during the pandemic is less documented due to the lag in data.

During a news briefing in May, President Trump remarked on the increase in overdoses, comparing the number of deaths to COVID deaths. “You could make the case it’s in even greater numbers,” he said.

kittens.” Bryson looked at her and said with much conviction is his voice, “They should have thought about that before they joined the church.”

Well, you might say that in this story Bryson was really into “task” but not too much into “relationship.” Just ask those kittens. We see this all the time.

Someone wants to climb the corporate ladder and doesn’t care what they do or who they destroy to get there. A politician wants to win so badly that they spin the truth, sell themselves to an interest group, and employ hate speech on TV against their competition.

Life consists of both relationship and task. Adam and Eve are great examples of the principle of “relationship” and “task.”

agree—or what I call “two or three to agree.” That comes from another Bible verse. When two separate parties agree, the result is unity. When those parties dwell together in unity, there the Lord commands a blessing. Psalm 133. Unity creates the power to operate in a marriage, a business, a nation, a community, a family, etc.

What’s the idea behind this? God has given everyone a measure of grace to do what they are created to do. Adam had a measure of grace. Eve had a measure of grace. But when Adam and Eve covenanted in a relationship called marriage, they moved from a measure of grace to grace without measure. One cannot multiply. One multiplied by one equals one. But when two become one, there is a multiplication of talent, strength and vision. Where one is weak, the other is strong, and vice versa. God knew one person with a measure of grace could not be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth or govern the earth effectively. It takes two or three to agree.

Let’s summarize it. Here’s the order of creation: The two become one, the one becomes many and the many SEE DELPH PAGE 19

And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue (govern it wisely) it.” Genesis 1:27-28.

God made male and female to be fruitful and multiply. They were given equal status but different roles to accomplish what God desired “them” to do. Notice God taught Adam and Eve about the right relationship before they were given any task. He gave them the assignment of learning how to become “one flesh.” The two became one, and the one became many. Out of their relationship came a family. That family filled the earth.

Then, after the relationship was established, God gave them a mission— or what I call a task. God charged them with subduing or properly governing the earth.

Why did God establish the idea of a relationship first and task second? Because it’s God’s divine design. It has the power to take the raw material of what is given to us and turn into something greater than us.

Here’s the principle in three words: agreement, unity, abundance. You need to have two different individuals to

do work (task)—first agreement, then unity, with the result being abundance (multiply and fill). Out of relationship comes a task. Relationship, then task, is not just a marriage principle. It’s an insight into the power to create and govern. Look at businesses in America. Ten percent of the businesses are partnerships, 10% are corporations and 90% are sole proprietorships. However, 10% of the businesses, corporations, have 90% of the sales and profit. Why? They are corporate; they cooperate; they multiply; they have more than a measure of grace. They have grace without measure.

There are four ways for people and organizations to live out their lives.

The first style is “high relationship/ low task.” This style loves everyone but achieves little. It’s well meaning but does not have the power to effect change. Then there is “low relationship/ high task.” The task becomes everything. Real relationships get in the way of what they want to accomplish.

People’s skills and contributions tend not to be valued. Then there is “low re-

lationship/low task.” This style dislikes or judges everyone and gets nowhere.

Enough said in that style.

The final way of living is “high relationship/high task.” That’s what made Jesus different in a significant way.

Most successful people and organizations have gleaned this truth also. They finish the job well; build their marriage, team or country with people of different talents and perspectives; and still get along. Opposites attract and then negotiate the differences if you understand the value of relationships first. Life is a celebration of differences, not just toleration of differences. We have lost that truth in today’s adversarial world.

Just think, right from the first days in the Bible, God said, “Teamwork makes the dream work.” How about you?

Which of those four styles are you?

Hint: None of us is as great as all of us if you want to have a quality of life and get something done.

Westside Head Start begins all-virtual teaching

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Catholic Charities Westside Head Start recently began virtual learning programs. To ensure that all students can participate, staff members are delivering supplies to children and families who request them.

PUSD to use Florida Virtual teaching online platforms

BY ERIN BRASSEY

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Like other districts around the state, Peoria Unified School District began the school year with online teaching.

And, like other districts, PUSD has not decided when students will be able to return to Glendale and Peoria classrooms.

Dr. Carter Davidson, the district’s chief personnel officer, said the district has been hiring teachers who will solely be leading virtual classrooms.

PUSD administration said families will have a choice between in-person

and online schooling for the fall semester once in-person learning begins.

“Those who opt to continue as a full-time virtual students will still have access to their teachers should they need help,” said Marla Hobbs, executive director of curriculum and instruction.

The district is using Florida Virtual as its online teaching platform, Hobbs explained. However, teachers

will contact students outside of the platform every day.

Hobbs said Florida Virtual follows a national standard, which will give students “rigorous content and instruction” in order to still have a full education.

Hobbs explained virtual learning may not be the right option for every student. She said students will need internet access and should be self-motivated in order to get their work done,

with the information they will need. If a family doesn’t have a computer or even a phone to connect through Zoom or Skype, staff is dropping off packets, crayons, supplies and more so the kids can participate.”

All staff members are working from home but can go to classrooms at district sites and modular locations to pick up supplies or access technology as needed. CDC protocols for hygiene and safety are strictly enforced.

WSHS collaborates with Catholic Charities’ philanthropy department and other area agencies to assist families struggling with food insecurity to ensure they continue receiving food boxes generously provided by donors.

In addition, the district is working to provide grab-and-go lunches.

“During normal times, the kids are provided food each day in the classroom, and many families count on that,” Dua said.

Dua said no estimate on returning to the classroom has been made. WSHS is monitoring the local guidelines as well as working with national Head Start to ensure the safest environment possible. Parent, advisory and policy councils will hold meetings virtually.

Students and families eligible to enroll in Westside Head Start include expectant mothers, children up to age 5, children with special needs, foster children and homeless children.

Enrollment can be done online at catholiccharities.org/all-locations/ youth-development. For more information, call 623-436-9868.

and computers. Sixth-grade through eighth-grade students will have the opportunity to take art, physical education and music.

All of the high school courses are NCAA approved, and students will still be able to take advanced-placement and dual-enrollment courses, Hobbs said.

She said the district is in discussions with local colleges to make sure Florida Virtual will work with their curriculum for dual enrollment.

“We know that our students have been away from us, and we’ve missed them greatly,” Hobbs said. “We know that we want to reconnect and make sure that our students are doing well.”

She explained students will have regular interactions with their teachers and peers even in an online format in order to attend to the social needs of the students.

The district’s student support will also still be available to all the students if they need immediate help. To reach the support line, students can call 623412-5262 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

Hobbs noted families can choose to change to classroom instruction at the end of the semester if they feel their child is not getting the schooling experience they need.

but younger students may need help navigating the platform. The district can provide laptops if needed, she said.

Teachers will be continually trained in Florida Virtual, Hobbs said.

Hobbs said the amount of time a student will spend working on courses will increase with a student’s grade level.

Desert Rose hopes to bring back entertainment soon

BY SAMANTHA PACHECO MOLINA Glendale Star Contributing Writer

Restaurants and bars across the state were among the first businesses to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of many struggling to keep pace is Glendale’s Desert Rose Pizza and Gastropub.

Owners Pete Gliniak and Teresa Outzen have been serving the West Valley since 2016 and pride their establishment as a family-friendly, dog-friendly and sports-friendly pub.

“We started Desert Rose because we really couldn’t find anything on the westside that was an independent, cool place to go eat,” Outzen said. “We had a bed and breakfast around the corner and decided to create our own little destination spot.”

The eclectic restaurant is known for its live music, fun games and diverse events. However, since the pandemic occurred, Desert Rose was forced to postpone community favorites like Poker Night and VW Meet and Greets.

While Outzen said they plan to bring back some entertainment next month, she added that it all depends on how current virus trends look.

“As soon as the state opens up and

allows us to host larger parties and our normal capacity, we will be able to return with all the entertainment we know and love,” Outzen said.

Like many other local establishments, Desert Rose was hit hard when COVID-19 closed all dine-in restaurants. The downtown fixture is still feeling the impacts, months after reopening.

Outzen said the restaurant has many regular customers who are not reluctant to go out.

“With the stopping of the economy and people not working, it has definitely affected people’s income, and

unfortunately, they can’t afford to go out,” Outzen said. “But that’s why we are hopeful when we can get back to normal and get people back to work, they can come on out again.”

She noted a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan helped her keep from folding—and continuing to pay her employees.

“If it wasn’t for the PPP loan, we never would have reopened,” Outzen said. “We had no funds to give us the opportunity to start over again, and that’s essentially what we had to do.”

While Outzen said her staff is happy to be open, she stressed they are ada-

mant about following Arizona Department of Health Services guidelines, including a strict mask policy.

The restaurant continues to offer both indoor and outdoor spaced seating with up to 10 guests per table.

All doors are kept open to avoid door and knob touching, and multiple disinfectant stations have been installed throughout the premises.

“We have a very large facility, and we hope our customers feel comfortable with how we approached things,” Outzen said. “We really wanted to keep experiences fun and entertaining for the whole family.”

She noted there are options for people who are reluctant to be in public but still want to enjoy Desert Rose food.

“Even if they aren’t comfortable with dining in, we offer curbside pickup and plenty of gift cards,” Outzen said.

“Just remember: When you support us, you are also supporting your local community and staff.”

Desert Rose Pizza and Gastropub is located at 6729 N. 57th Drive, Glendale. For more information, visit desertrosepizzaandgastropub.com or call 623-937-3004.
