HUD: Half of Glendale facing ‘housing burden’

September 19, 2019

The Glendale City Council discussed its priorities for the funds the city government will receive from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in the 2020-21 fiscal year during a council workshop on September 10.

Each year, Glendale receives funding from HUD to address housing and social needs, usually targeting programs for area homeless and low-income populations.

The city’s community revitalization staff anticipates around $3.3 million in HUD funds in the upcoming financial year to spread around different programs.

Of that projected money, the Commu-

nity Development Block Grant (CDBG) will amount to around $2.47 million, the Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) — specifically targeting solutions for the area’s homeless population — should total just over $210,000 and the Home Investment Partnership will likely equal around $667,000 in anticipated funds.

Several community revitalization staff members attended a retreat run by the Community Development Advisory Committee in late July and presented several social trends they felt needed to be addressed.

After discussion with CDAC, they recommended major focus be put on eviction prevention and intervention, housing solu-

tions, workforce and economic development, senior services, homeless supportive outreach and navigation and supportive services in the upcoming fiscal year, and recommended such actions to the council at the recent meeting.

Revitalization administrator Michael Hess told the council that each dollar received is necessary for assisting those dealing with poverty or homelessness in Glendale.

“There’s quite a bit of need out in the community. Whether it pertains to seniors, children and youth, the homeless (or) working families, there’s significant need all around,” Hess said.

In an effort to make its transit services more accessible to the community, the city of Glendale is preparing an overhaul of 21 bus stops.

The project, which will cost up to $160,817 and be facilitated by Lincoln Constructors Inc., is expected to be complete in December. Construction was approved as a consent item at the September 10 council meeting.

According to the council agenda, the 21 stops face varying accessibility obstacles and are not compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Some stops are located in dirt, some have no sidewalks, some lack concrete landing pads and others have landscaping that separates the roadway and sidewalk.

shouldn’t affect bus riders, Link said. He doesn’t expect any to be rerouted.

“There’s a couple that are a little bit more involved and it’s going to require a little bit more time to do the work, so if we have to move the stop the contractor will put a sign — ‘bus stop moved’ — and then they’ll put a temporary bus stop either farther east, west, north or south from the location where the construction is taking place,” he explained.

Funding for the project was secured from a Federal Transit Administration grant in 2016. But the 21 stops are just part of a much larger plan, according to Link. The city of Glendale applied for a second grant from the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) to improve another 10 bus stops.

As Link explained, MAG allocates $2 million per year for cities and transit agencies to bring bus stops to compliance. Estimating that funding at around $168,000, he said he took that measure to the Glendale City Bus stops Council last month.

Glendale Avenue and Litchfield Road — Westbound side “I think we’re going to use ValGlendale Avenue at Kachina Gate — Eastbound side ley Metro’s on-call contractor to Glendale Avenue at Kachina Gate — Westbound side do these 10 stops,” Link said, exGlendale Avenue and Lalomai — Eastbound side plaining that the project was put Glendale and 127th avenues — Eastbound side out to bid for contractors but not Glendale Avenue at GRPSTC — Westbound side accepted.

Glendale and 115th avenues — Eastbound side Glendale and 95th avenues — Westbound side “I’m going to work with ValGlendale and 87th avenues — Eastbound side ley Metro on these 10, for them Glendale and 75th avenues — Westbound side to oversee the construction part of Glendale and 73rd avenues — Eastbound side the project basically.”

Glendale and 73rd avenues — Westbound side Once all 31 bus stops are Union Hills Drive and 75th Avenue — Eastbound side knocked out, however, Link said Union Hills Drive and 53rd Avenue — Westbound side additional sites throughout the Thunderbird Road and 59th Avenue — Westbound side city must be looked at. This inBehrend and 62nd avenues — Westbound side cludes allocating funding.

79th Avenue and St. Johns Road — Northbound side “But we’re getting it down 18555 N. 79th Avenue — Northbound side there. Knocking these 31 loca51st Avenue and Colter Street — Northbound side 51st and Luke avenues — Southbound side tions out will really put a dent in 51st and Missouri avenues — Southbound side the number of stops that aren’t compliant,” Link said.

Construction calls for various improvements such as extending walkways from bus stops to intersections and connecting detached sidewalks to existing or new pads.

“It’s not to go out and add nice new bus shelters and amenities. It’s to make them compliant and accessible,” said Kevin Link, the city’s transit administrator.

Link said the bus stops are noncompliant because they were in place before the ADA went into effect in 1990. And while the stops are not federally mandated to be brought up to compliance, according to Link, he said the goal as funding becomes available is to make all stops compliant anyway.

“Any new bus stop that we create or put in must be completely compliant with ADA,” he added.

Over the coming months, construction

There’s quite a bit of need out in the community.

Whether it pertains to seniors, children and youth, the homeless, working families (or) there’s significant need all around.

- Michael Hess Revitalization administrator HUD FROM PAGE 1

Among the troubling statistical trends the community revitalization staff was provided by HUD, Hess said, was that around 50% of Glendale residents live in a state of housing burden due to lower-paying jobs and high rent or ownership costs.

“That means at least 30% of their total income is used to pay for housing expenses,” Hess said.

He added that HUD figures suggest 17% spend over 50% of their regular income on housing expenses, an even more extreme level of burden.

Also according to HUD numbers, 46.8% of homes are renter-occupied, which Hess said is significantly higher than the national average.

The council did not dispute any of the recommendations, but Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers added that a specific focus should be placed on providing funding to the city’s foster care services. He said several people, especially those fostering children, say the amount of 18-year-olds who are forced from foster care and immediately become homeless is troubling.

Thus, money from the grants, he said, should include allocations for relevant provisions.

“If we can’t get these kids help, get them jobs early, then they become a burden,” Weiers said.

While the direction is set for the council and revitalization staff to continue its planning for the upcoming fiscal year’s HUD funds, the council still has plenty of time to work out specifics and change any plans.

Council will revisit the matter in February, in anticipation of a vote and official action plan due to the federal government by May 15, 2020.

Online travel companies subject to city taxes, court rules

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Online travel companies like Orbitz, Travelocity and Priceline have to pay city sales taxes on the portion of the reservation dollars that they keep, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled last week.

The September 9 ruling most immediately affects Apache Junction, Chandler, Flagstaff, Glendale, Mesa, Nogales, Phoenix, Prescott, Scottsdale, Tempe and Tucson, which are the cities currently trying to assess the levy. But it could open the door to other communities seeking to extend their own taxes to the travel companies.

In a split decision, the justices concluded that these companies effectively are engaged in the business of operating a hotel. And, given that the Model Cities Tax Code used by the 11 cities involved in the lawsuit taxes hotel operations, that makes any money kept by these travel “brokers” subject to the levy.

That conclusion drew derision from Justice Ann Scott Timmer.

Writing for herself and Chief Justice Robert Brutinel, she suggested that the position of the cities — and the majority ruling — was stretching the concept of what it means to “operate” a hotel.

“Online travel companies neither put hotels into a functional or operative state nor keep them in that state,” she wrote. “Online travel companies do not own hotels, oversee hotel operations or let hotel rooms.”

But Justice John Lopez, writing for the majority, saw it different, saying the services provided by these hotel brokers are “central” to keeping the hotels in operation.

The victory for the cities, however, was not absolute: The justices said they cannot collect taxes that were owed before 2013.

Central to the issue is how these online travel companies operate — and how the tax is levied.

Consider a $100-a-night room in a city with a 10% hotel tax, sold through a broker who has an arrangement to keep 20%.

The broker sells the room to the

customer for $100, plus the 10% tax and any service fees. Then, after the stay, the hotel bills the broker for $80 plus the 10% tax of $8.

That $8 is sent by the hotel to the city; the broker keeps the remaining $22, remitting none of that to the cities in which the hotels were located.

In 2014 the cities issued assessments for the unpaid assessments going back as far as 2001.

Lopez said the tax on hotels themselves, which is not at issue, is based on a definition that they furnish lodging to transients. And he said that includes activities that are “essential to furnishing lodging.”

That, he wrote, is clearly the case here.

“From the time a customer makes a credit card payment until the customer physically checks into the hotel, the OTCs facilitate all aspects of the transaction and receive compensation in the form of service fees and markups on the room rental rates for providing their services,” Lopez said.

“It would be illogical to conclude that the OTCs — which advertise available rooms, solicit potential customers, collect customers’ information, process payments, confirm reservations, provide customer service and facilitate reservation modifications and cancellations — are not actively engaged in ‘the business of operating a hotel,’” he explained.

“Indeed, all these services provided by the OTCs are central to keeping a hotel functional and in operation.”

Timmer, in her dissent, pointed out that these companies perform only a limited number of the operations that actually keep a hotel in business.

“They do not possess, run, control, manage or direct the function of a hotel or rental agency,” she wrote.

“And hotels, which take reservations outside the OTC process, do not depend on OTCs to operate their business.”

She acknowledged that there is no question that the travel companies facilitate hotel operations, like confirming reservation requests, processing payments and, if necessary, handling cancellations.

“But these functions — even though important to hotels — do not transform OTCs in operators of hotels,” Timmer said. She said that would lead to illogical conclusions like saying that a company that contracts with a hotel to provide cleaning services and hires workers then also becomes a hotel.

Lopez sniffed at that comparison, saying those services are “plainly distinguishable from those performed by the OTCs and are not necessarily central to the primary function of a hotel to furnish lodging.”

More to the point, he said these travel companies operate as brokers for the hotel’s central function.

And Lopez said taxes would still be due if hotels divided up all the aspects of its operations, charging separately for reservation services, advertising and customer support.

Glendale FD gets the gold

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Glendale Fire Department has received the American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline EMS Gold Plus Award for implementing quality improvement measures for the treatment of patients who experience severe heart attacks.

“The Glendale Fire Department is dedicated to providing optimal care for heart attack patients,” spokeswoman Ashley Losch said. “We are pleased to be recognized for our dedication and achievements in emergency medical care efforts through Mission: Lifeline.”

Every year, more than 250,000 people experience an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) the deadliest type of heart attack caused by a blockage of blood flow to the heart that requires timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by mechanically opening the blocked vessel or by providing clot-busting medication.

The Mission: Lifeline initiative provides tools, training and other resourc-

es to support heart attack care following protocols from the most recent evidence-based treatment guidelines.

Mission: Lifeline’s EMS recognition program recognizes emergency medical services for their efforts in improving systems of care to rapidly identify suspected heart attack patients, promptly notify the medical center and trigger an early response from the awaiting hospital personnel.

“EMTs and paramedics play a vital part in the system of care for those who have heart attacks,” said Dr. Tim Henry, chairman of the Mission: Lifeline Acute Coronary Syndrome Subcommittee.

“Since they often are the first medical point of contact, they can save precious minutes of treatment time by activating the emergency response system that alerts hospitals to an incoming heart attack patient. We applaud the Glendale Fire Department for achieving this award in following evidence-based guidelines in the treatment of people who have severe heart attacks.”

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION FREE PATIENT EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR LEARN ABOUT AFIB (The disease), CURRENT AND NEW TREATMENT OPTIONS Atrial Fibrillation or AFIB is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart related complications. At least 2.7 million Americans are living with AFIB. Patients with AFIB are normally treated by a Cardiac Electrophysiologist (EP).

Stroke is at least 5 times more likely to occur in patients with atrial fibrillation. Treatments to reduce stroke risk, usually blood thinners, can require close monitoring and carry significant risk of bleeding. The left atrial appendage is the portion of the heart where more than 90% of stroke causing clots form.

The Watchman™ left atrial appendage closure device is an implant designed to close the left atrial appendage, trapping potential stroke causing clots and, thus, potentially alleviating the future need for blood thinners.

Come join us for a free educational event with Dr. Nirav Mehta and learn about the causes of AFIB, how to recognize if you have the condition and different treatment options for treating the irregular heartbeat and options for stroke prevention.

Disaster specialists emphasize emergency plan

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF No matter where one lives or works, emergencies caused by weather, fire, wind, water and other natural or manmade disasters can strike at any time and are largely unpredictable.

SERVPRO property restoration professionals in the Glendale area remind home and business owners that preparing in advance is the best thing to do to help minimize a disaster’s impact on loved ones and property.

Each year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) designates September as National Preparedness Month — a time to create or update the plan for when disaster strikes.

“In the same way that people make ‘resolutions’ at the New Year, National Preparedness Month is a great time to resolve to create a plan, or review your existing plan, each and every year,” said Rick Isaacson, CEO of SERVPRO Industries LLC. “Everyone needs a comprehensive emergency plan. Business owners also need to plan for business interruption and continuation. But equally impor-

tantly, families and businesses alike need immediate access to data like emergency and insurance contacts, shut-off valves, electrical panel locations, and the line of command to authorize work so emergency responders can react quickly and appropriately during the emergency. This month’s focus on preparedness is a great incentive for both families and businesses to put a plan in place and review it regularly.”

Creating an emergency plan is straightforward, according to Isaacson.

No matter what type of threats exist — wildfires, flooding, hurricanes, tornadoes or other natural or manmade disasters — tools are available from FEMA at ready.gov with guidelines for preparing emergency food, water and

medical supplies; planning for special needs; and creating communication and evacuation plans. These tools and others, like the SERVPRO READY app, also help store essential contact and property information electronically where it can be accessed with a mobile device in seconds if disaster strikes. Both home and business owners can download the free app at ready.servpro.com/ home/mobileapp.

Glendale-area business owners can take an additional preparedness step by designating their local SERVPRO franchise as their disaster mitigation and restoration provider. SERVPRO professionals will conduct a no-cost assessment of the facility and assist the owner in completing a comprehensive Emergency READY Profile to be stored in the READY app.

“The key to getting your life or busi-

ness back on track is timely response after a disaster strikes. That’s why it’s important to take the time to record and store your information electronically, and then commit to a time — like National Preparedness Month — to review and update your records at least once each year,” Isaacson said.

“Remember, filing cabinets and their contents may be inaccessible or even destroyed in an emergency situation, so don’t depend on them to keep track of critical insurance, property or contact information in the event of a disaster.

Store your data electronically. If disaster strikes, you’ll have the information you need literally at your fingertips.”

SERVPRO specializes in disaster restoration, cleanup and repair services, helping to remediate damage for commercial and residential customers.

Officials welcome retirement community to region

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Upon opening in the Northwest Valley, Arrowhead Valley Retirement Resort’s team took a regional approach to partnership.

As such, Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat and Ironwood District Councilman Bill Patena, representatives for Congresswoman Debbie Lesko and the Arizona Department of Housing, and the Peoria and Glendale chambers of commerce teams, among others, showed their support for the 55-and-older, independent living community September 12.

Located at 81st Avenue and West Beardsley Road, the Resort Lifestyle Community, according to Peoria Chamber President and CEO Scot Andrews, is the product of a $30 million project, one which created 40 to 50 jobs — and a place for the aging West Valley population to call home.

“The one thing that we’ve learned as we’ve opened our 30th community — our 29th was the second in the Valley area, so we are honored to be a part of this amazing community — is that the chamber quickly becomes our guidance, our friends, and the warm welcome we’ve received from the very beginning of just a few of us becoming members has been an amazing journey of warmth,” said Kelly Jo Hinrichs, vice president of marketing for Resort Lifestyle Communities.

“We’re humbled by the welcome that we received from each and every one of you as we brought senior retirement living to a group of amazing people that have quickly become our family.”

Carol Ditmore, director of the Arizona Department of Housing, speaking on behalf of Gov. Doug Ducey and the state as a whole, noted the governor’s attendance at a national meeting in which he and others spoke about the aging population. Ditmore said that discussion emphasized how seniors need housing and services.

“I think they have encompassed all of that right here in this one location,” she added of Arrowhead Valley Retirement Resort.

Because it is an all-inclusive community, Arrowhead Valley charges one monthly price and has no buy-in fees or long-term leases. Residents are provided utilities, access to on-site professional staff and live-in managers, a medical alert system, scheduled transportation to and from appointments, weekly housekeeping services, maintenance

support, concierge services and valet parking. There are no pet fees, either.

Upon walking into the community, residents are greeted by what is billed as Arrowhead Valley’s Main Street, central to which is an atrium viewable from three stories.

The indoor strip features amenities including a salon; a general store with pharmaceuticals; a fitness room; a communication center/mail room; a resource center; banking from Desert Financial Credit Union; an arcade, equipped with air hockey and Ms. Pac Man; and a 150-seat movie theater.

Behind this area is a dining room plus a full kitchen with professional chefs and food staff. Arrowhead Valley also has a happy-hour area.

Various other gathering spaces such as conversation and conference rooms and seating are available throughout the community, too. There is even a library and a billiards room.

With plenty of space for meetups throughout, community involvement is key to the Arrowhead Valley team. Besides showing movies like “The Seventh Stream” and “Jumper,” the theater is also available for free booking to local groups.

“As our residents moved in, they moved in because they want to continue to be an influence in the business community and leadership,” Hinrichs said.

“Making our theater available to each of you for your groups and organizations to participate in at no charge is just reinforcing that the only payment is that you may have a few residents sit in and learn about what’s happening, and it’s a beautiful thing to continue to have our seniors engaged in the community at large.”

So, the community hosts plenty of activities, such as daily health and wellness programs, social invitations and activities, and shopping and outings.

For food, residents at Arrowhead Valley get “Freedom Dining.” This program provides flexible dining hours, allowing residents to eat as often or as little as they’d like. Meals range from full service to a casual buffet or even room service. There is also a 24-hour chef’s pantry for on-the-go snacks, and a sandwich-and-pizza station is open Mayor Cathy Carlat, Arrowhead Valley live-in manfrom 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Guests can Peoria agers Lisa and Ursini, and Peoria Chamber of Commerce bring their friends and family to President and CEO Scot Andrews, among others from Glendale and Peoria, cut the ribbon at Arrowhead Valley a Sunday brunch, too.

Fitzgerald is great; his teams ... no paradise

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ

troit Lions — Fitzgerald could be found down on Durango Street south of downtown, spending time with the students of Academia Del Pueblo, donating tablets, inspiring.

Though I was not in attendance, I was moved enough to spend some time thinking about the graceful, beloved superstar this Valley has come to call Fitz.

Here’s the question I have been pondering for days: Has there ever been a professional athlete less fortunate than Larry Fitzgerald when it comes to spending an entire career with one of pro sports’ worst franchises?

Who, I ask you?

Who has had it worse than Fitz all these years?

Who in the history of sport has toiled

Glendale Star Columnist

It was one picture posted on social media, a muscled man with braided hair holding a microphone and speaking to a group of school kids seated on the gymnasium floor.

The photograph was not professionally taken. Indeed, no press release had been issued and no news photographers invited, which was the point made by the journalist who posted the image.

This is how Larry Fitzgerald spends his weekday hours away from the gridiron — giving back, connecting with his community.

Last week — not too long after logging eight receptions for 113 yards and a touchdown in the Arizona Cardinals’ improbable comeback tie versus the De-

longer for one comically awful team without a championship or a ring to show for such Herculean efforts and loyalty?

You could perhaps make a case for Dan Marino, who toiled 17 years with the Miami Dolphins and never won a title. Like Fitz, Marino made it to a single Super Bowl, losing 38-16 to the San Francisco 49ers in 1985.

Marino, however, made it to the playoffs in 10 seasons to Fitz’s paltry four.

And Marino quarterbacked his teams to 155 wins, a .601 winning percentage.

Larry Fitzgerald’s Cardinals, by contrast, have lost 121 times in his career against 112 wins and a pair of ties. One of those two ties came in the 2019 season opener and served to underscore the supreme waste of talent we have witnessed since the Cardinals drafted Fitzgerald in 2004.

Fitzgerald’s new quarterback, the rookie Kyler Murray, played three of the worst quarters of football imaginable, only to be hailed as the next Unitas by some fans and pundits for playing 15 minutes lights out.

Fitz? He’s played out of his mind for 16 years now, beset by quarterbacks as nondescript as John Skelton, Kevin Kolb, John Navarre and Max Hall.

You know how many wide receivers have caught more passes than Larry

Fitzgerald in the history of the game?

One. And Jerry Rice had two Hall of Famers — Joe Montana and Steve Young — quarterbacking him for the vast majority of his career.

Now at age 36, Fitzgerald has an unproven rookie, who may revolutionize the game or who be yet another Cardinals’ bust, and a new head coach in Kliff Kingsbury, who may be Vince Lombardi in Wayfarer sunglasses or a slimmer Buddy Ryan.

My guess? This is the Arizona Cardinals, who every season like clockwork find a way to dash the dreams of their unreasonably faithful fans.

We all know how this story ends.

Come late season, we likely will be treated to another round of chatter about trading Fitz to a contender and giving him a chance to go out competing for a Super Bowl.

I hope it happens, truth be told, because Larry Fitzgerald deserves far better than what the sports gods have dealt him.

Sure, he’s earned more than $160 million on the field since 2004. But has there ever been a more cruel and unusual punishment than serving life as an Arizona Cardinal?

OPINION

READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

The robots are coming Editor: We are in a monumental economic transition that will phase out thousands of jobs in the United States within a decade.

It’s not a scary Hollywood sci-fi film or an H.G. Wells plot; it’s a real and imminent reality that artificial intelligence and automation will replace workers in many divisions of the U.S. job market.

This is something that is already happening. Truckers and other transportation industry workers are being threatened with the introduction of self-driving vehicles. Retail workers are being supplanted with automated kiosks. Robotic processes can automate repetitive computer tasks like data entry and web research in hundreds of industries. If you look at how far technology rapidly grew within the last decade and extrapolate that into a projection of the next, the job landscape looks extremely bleak.

The worst part of it? No presidential candidate for the 2020 election is talking about these issues. No one, other than Andrew Yang. An entrepreneur and founder of Venture for America, a nonprofit that focuses on creating jobs in struggling American cities, he is the only candidate who is dialed in on the issue of automation and artificial intelligence, with solutions for our country as this Fourth Industrial Revolution moves forward.

If you care less about the reality TV show that is politics and more about your community and the economic prison that the U.S. economy could be in if these issues aren’t addressed, I urge you to Google “Andrew Yang,” and together we can move forward.

Good op-ed piece!

Editor: I read the op-ed piece by Jason Barraza about how well his hospital emergency visit turned out for him when a

shooting pain resulted in gall bladder surgery. Not only was his physical situation fixed, but his insurance paid all but $80 of the large bill. He asks that policymakers be careful not to disrupt the coverage most people count on.

I couldn’t agree more, but when listening to the many candidates spout their intentions, their ideas would be totally disruptive. Some want to initiate government rate setting (price controls), which has proven disastrous every time it has been tried. We end up with drug shortages, limits on drugs and fewer new drugs in the market.

Another huge problem candidates are discussing is ways to deal with surprise medical bills, which usually result from an emergency visit. Emergency means the absence of choice.

I’m glad Mr. Barraza’s policy covered everything. Many people receive bills weeks after treatment because their insurance denied doctors or services for being out of network. The answer is not to give insurance companies more power, but to assure that doctors and hospitals are properly reimbursed.

2020 presidential election

Editor: It is my expectation that President Trump is going to do all of us a big favor and decide some time in early-to-mid 2020 not to run for re-election. When that happens, I hope the Republicans will nominate someone of good character such as Nikki Haley or Carly Fiorina.

Personally, I don’t know what I find to be more despicable about the guy: the way he makes fun of and insults the physical appearances of people or the way that he views women as sex objects.

Jabz offers more than just boxing fitness classes

BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Jabz Boxing, a boxing fitness center for women located at 6645 W. Bell Road in Glendale, is filled with several ladies punching, weaving, doing ab workouts and more on a Thursday afternoon with fast-paced music blaring out of the facility’s stereo.

Jeremy Cummings, who co-owns the store with his mother, Jacquelyn, but runs the day-to-day operations of the Glendale location, is shouting encouragement to his customers. He walks around to each woman, calling them by name, and gives them pointers on form while complimenting their work ethic.

A long-time athlete, Cummings has seen first-hand over the years the physical benefits of boxing training, and the way it has affected people’s shape and self-worth.

“I’ve played a lot of other sports in

my life, done a lot of different workouts. But, the full body usage that goes into boxing is about as good of shape as you can get in,” he said.

But, the workouts and physical skill building come second Jabz. It is more about the mental and emotional aspects that come from accomplishing goals and fighting through pain.

Cummings said he was bullied at different points of his childhood, and at a few moments in his life he saw women like his mother and sister be treated in ways that made him uncomfortable. He wants to provide a space for women to feel secure and have a space for safe workouts and fun together.

The camaraderie — with muscle building and weight loss an added bonus — of Jabz has improved a lot of his customers’ confidence while throwing punches and kicks.

“You see someone come in unsure

about the whole thing, even kind of being nervous for their first time, and then to have them become regulars here and consistently getting better and more confident, that’s pretty cool,” he said.

Cummings noted that participants are not actually fighting each other.

The kicks and punches are thrown at bags — though there are several human-shaped mannequins the athletes call “Bob” — and the women never spar and there’s no danger of being hit or injured from impact.

“That’s something I always want to stress to people. It’s just fun and a workout,” he said.

While the mental and physical shape of the participants are improving, so are the prospects of Jabz in the West Valley.

As the clientele is constantly growing, Cummings also opened a Jabz location in Surprise. He is splitting time between the two, and if things go right, there could be even more Jabz facilities opening sometime down the road.

“Right now my focus is on these two, and definitely trying to grow the Surprise location,” Cummings said. “But who knows?”

Coyotes’ Soderstrom, Hayton fighting for roster spots

BY NICK AGUILERA Cronkite News

Last season, a young Arizona Coyotes team came within four points of a playoff berth, finishing just behind the Colorado Avalanche. And with several prospects waiting in the wings, the organization is about to get even younger.

But if the young players who represented the Coyotes in the Anaheim Rookie Faceoff are an indication, the club might also be about to get better.

The tournament gave the NHL a glimpse at several of the most promising prospects in the Coyotes’ organization. Two of them, Victor Soderstrom, who was the 11th overall pick in the 2019 NHL Draft, and Barrett Hayton, the fifth pick in 2018, offer the most promise and could factor into the team’s 2019-20 season.

For the two, rookie camp and the Faceoff tournament are just a precursor to a much bigger test, the Coyotes veterans training camp. The puck drops on the regular season October 3 in Anaheim.

Soderstrom and Hayton made their presence known during rookie camp and at the Rookie Faceoff, with Hayton tallying a goal and an assist in his two games played.

“My biggest thing is just (to) make an impact. Obviously rookie camp’s a start of the process for main camp, so I think I’m getting off and leaving a good first impression and playing

well,” Hayton said.

For Hayton, this training camp presents a second opportunity to make the team after he spent all of last season with the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. Hayton is hoping to make a bigger impact in his second go around at camp with a season within the organization under his belt.

“I just know what to expect,” he said.

“Obviously going into last year, my first camp, there’s no experience really like that. I think being around here last year and being able to stay around for as long as I did, I learned a ton. So I think, moving to this year, I know what to expect and I’m really prepared.”

Soderstrom is the first Swedish player that the Coyotes have taken in the first round since the team selected their current captain, Oliver Ekman-Larsson. Naturally, the two have been compared since the team drafted Soderstrom in June. Ekman-Larsson has taken it upon himself to make sure his countryman feels welcome in Arizona.

“When I came here, he offered me to stay with him in his house,” Soder-

strom said. “He’s a really good guy. I didn’t know him before, but you can really understand why he’s the captain of an NHL team.”

Soderstrom played his entire junior career on an Olympic-size rink in Sweden, which is more than 13 feet wider than an NHL rink. Even with the amount of talent the Coyotes see in him, Soderstrom has to prove he can adjust to the smaller ice and style of play in North American.

“The game’s faster and it’s a lot more (of a) transitioning game,” Soderstrom said. “It’s a little bit more aggressive.

Forwards go more to the net and they drive harder to the net. It’s a little bit of a big difference but… I’ve got a feel for it, so I think now it’s all good.”

A spot with the club is not guaranteed for Hayton and Soderstrom despite their status as two of the organization’s top prospects. With only 23 roster spaces available, and most of them already filled, it will be a challenge for the two rookies to break into the squad.

“I think the intensity is always extremely high,” Hayton said. “Everyone’s pushing, everyone wants to get a job and everyone has their goals. No matter what camp it’s been, it’s highpaced, it’s high-intensity and everyone really wants it.”

Keller extension part of Chayka’s vision for Coyotes

BY NICK AGUILERA Cronkite News

John Chayka is taking a proactive approach to his pending restricted free agents. In doing so, his vision for the team is taking shape.

The Arizona Coyotes general manager signed forward Clayton Keller to an eight-year contract extension on September 4, marking the latest move in his plan. The extension, which carries an average annual value of $7.15 million, will keep the 21-year-old forward in the desert through the 2027-28 season. The deal also includes lockout protection, a full no-trade clause in 2024-25 and 2025-26, and a no-movement clause in 2026-27 and 2027-28.

The Coyotes have five players under contract through 2024, four of whom are under the age of 24. Keller could have become a restricted free agent at the end of the season. Rather than let that happen, Chayka worked to lock up Keller, just as he did last season with RFAs-to-be Christian Dvorak, Jakob Chychrun and Nick Schmaltz.

“It’s something we’ve done with a number of young players now,” Chayka said. “We wanted to make a proactive decision. We wanted to make that decision on our terms and we wanted to make sure that it was one that would allow us to keep our core of young players together for a long time and also allow us to build a team.”

Keller said the desire to remain in Arizona played a role in foregoing unrestricted free agency years at the back end of the contract.

“It was a priority of mine to be here for a long time. I love playing here,” Keller said. “I love the fans and I love the direction that we’re going.

“It’s a special group to be a part of,

The Coyotes’ Clayton Keller is a big part of the Coyotes’ vision. (Photo courtesy Arizona Coyotes)

coming into the league together at a young age and growing and getting better each year. I think I just really wanted to be a part of that and I think we have great days ahead.”

After a terrific rookie campaign where Keller finished third in the Calder Memorial Trophy (rookie of the year) voting for the 2017-18 season, Keller had a much tougher go in the 2018-19 season, scoring 47 points in 82 games. Despite his struggles, Chayka looked at the entire body of work.

“You can either frame it as a player that struggled last year or you can

frame it as a player that broke a lot of records with the U.S. National Development Program, was one of the top players in college hockey, won a World Juniors (Championship), came in first year and broke all of our franchise records in terms of offensive production and is learning to grow and still has a lot of room to grow,” Chayka said.

“I drafted Clayton Keller seventh overall. Some questioned that at the time as well and I think that’ll be proven to be a good decision. … I feel the same about this decision.”

Along with Keller’s deal, the Coyotes added key pieces this offseason in

forward Phil Kessel, who has topped 30 goals six times in his career, and firstround draft pick Victor Soderstrom.

Chayka acknowledged the risk inherent in signing Keller to an eightyear deal with just two seasons of NHL experience.

“In order to try and win a Stanley Cup, you’ve got to take risks and you have to do some things that sometimes, short term, make you a little uncomfortable, but long term, you believe (are) the right thing for the organization,” Chayka said. “I just know that following the herd will ensure that you’ll never be No. 1.”

The 2019 season will be a true test of what the Glendale Prep girls’ volleyball team is made of. Just a few games into its season, the team has faced tremendous adversity.

The Griffins, who finished 24-9 in a season that saw them finish as 2A state runners-up, started 2019 with a roster that coach Jennifer Roberge called a “rebuilding year.”

Glendale Prep graduated three of its top players in 2019, who were part of making the program one of the best in the area over the past few seasons, and came into this year with just one senior on an already-small varsity roster. Senior Caitlin Kao suffered a season-ending injury at the beginning of the season, and sophomore starter Sita Bhakta hurt her knee jumping for a spike in a 3-0 home loss to Chandler Prep on September 12.

“We normally have seven to nine girls up on varsity, so it really is a blow when even one of them gets hurt.

We’re going to have to battle even more now,” Roberge said.

The Griffins, though, have been a successful team historically, boasting

winning records and competing for — even winning several — championships each season. There is no reason to think, even with the current roster of young players, that the Griffins are going to back down. There were tears shed after the September 12 loss to Chandler Prep, one of the conference’s top teams, for the uncharacteristic straight-sets loss, but mostly for the injured players the team cares so much about.

Winning at a high level is never easy, especially when a team goes through heartache and now will have to revise its strategy under a new roster. But, there are a lot of games remaining, and Roberge said she knows just how hard her players and staff are going to fight for the remainder of 2019.

“The girls are going to have to gather around and play for each other now. I know for a fact that they aren’t going to give up on this season,” Roberge said.

“I know just how much heart my team has. You could see it right away in their attitude in practice. This is hard, but I am really confident they’re going to come together and still put forward the best season we can have.”

Local finance expert banks on community services

BY ANDREA ESTRADA Glendale Star Staff Writer

Paris Davis is a passionate supporter of volunteerism and community involvement. And through her more than 35 years with WaFd Bank, a national bank operating in eight western states with 31 branches in Arizona, Davis has witnessed first-hand the difference community service makes in the lives of those who are less fortunate.

As the senior vice president and northwest Arizona retail division manager at WaFd Bank Arizona, the Buckeye resident oversees the operations of nine branches in Phoenix, Sun City, Sun City West, Glendale, Goodyear, Prescott Valley, Paradise Valley and Yuma.

“Providing great assistance to our team, helping our clients and creating a really great experience for them — pretty much anything that happens under that roof — that’s what I’m responsible for,” Davis said.

But Davis also works with social and human service agencies that serve the

needs of low- and moderate-income individuals. She serves as an honoree board member for the Washington Federal Foundation, which facilitates direct giving to community-based nonprofits.

“I have the opportunity to meet with people that may not have had the same opportunities or blessings that I’ve had. For me, I receive more from meeting with these individuals and helping them than I could ever give to them,” Davis said.

In July, Davis and her team presented a $25,000 check to Care Fund, a nonprofit that helps Arizona families with ill children pay their mortgage or rent.

On Saturday, September 28, Care Fund will host its Desert Sky Gala presented

by WaFd Bank, to raise funds for the mortgage and rent assistance program.

For more information, visit thecarefund.org/desertskygala.

you could ever imagine,” she said.

Davis, who knows the ins and outs of retail banking and mortgage, commercial and consumer lending, also works to expand financial literacy education.

In early September, on behalf of WaFd, Davis delivered a $10,000 check to the International Rescue Committee in Glendale, which provides assistance to people in crisis situations.

“They have case workers looking at refugees that are fleeing violent, scary situations and helping them acquire visas, become U.S. citizens. Many of their clients are looking to establish businesses,” Davis explained. “I’m excited to partner with them for financial literacy to help their clientele build a strong future.”

The senior vice president will also be a key sponsor of UMOM’s Buckles and Bangles in early October, an event that benefits families, single women and youth in the Valley experiencing homelessness.

“For me — to be involved with UMOM — it’s an opportunity to help homeless people that are truly trying to make a difference in their lives, help someone who’s just down on their luck and could use a little humanitarianism,” Davis said. “Help those less

fortunate that are worrying, ‘Where am I going to sleep tonight?’”

And Davis also tackles homelessness through her work with Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS). In August, she and her team participated in a telethon that raised nearly $70,000.

“That was a great opportunity. The people that work at CASS, they give endlessly. They help with job placements, education, with children’s needs. Whatever they need to get them to the next level.”

In regard to what’s next, Davis, who was recently named a member of the Women United Steering Committee, a group with a mission to encourage children to learn to read on grade level by third grade, said she wants to continue empowering women and working with seniors and the youth.

“On a personal level, it’s a deep passion. I’m very involved, and I plan to continue these partnerships and see what else I can do more of because I get more out of these opportunities than I give,” she said.

Davis relocated from Oregon in April 2001. She is a graduate of the Washington Federal 2017 Executive Leadership Academy and has held a number of leadership roles with WaFd.

2019 Mazda 3 Hatchback

The Glendale Star

FEATURES

17

BY C.A. HAIRE

Glendale Star Columnist

Those seeking a practical, small car that’s fun to drive yet easy on gas should give this Mazda 3 a look. Traditionally, the car has been offered as a four-door sedan with a rear trunk, but you can also get a four-door hatchback, as seen here. This allows for more cargo capacity, especially if the second-row seats are folded.

The Mazda 3 only comes with a four-cylinder, 2.5-liter engine, rated at 186 horsepower. This isn’t some cheap motor that sounds like a buzz bomb. Instead, it’s a sophisticated SKYACTIV unit that’s very smooth and loves to be driven hard. Fuel economy is claimed to be 24 mpg in the city, 32 mpg on the highway and 27 mpg overall. A six-speed manual gearbox is offered, but we tested the optional six-speed automatic version.

And then there’s a sport-mode switch, which allows for more fun in daily commuting. Plus, the car has the option of all-wheel drive to provide better traction on wet roads.

Above: Red paint adds $595 to the Mazda 3’s base price. Right: Those seeking the best fuel economy and performance might want to pass on the optional all-wheel drive and stick with the standard front-wheel drive version. (Glendale Star photos by C. A. Haire)

The Mazda 3’s base price is $21,000.

However, when we tested the car, we loaded it up with all the features. The red paint costs $595, while illuminated door sills cost $450. A phone charging pad costs $275, which seems a bit excessive, but even more so is paying $90 for floor mats. In the end, the total tab on this one comes to a

staggering $31,930. It’s a good thing Mazda dealers offer discounts. At least the car is really made in Japan, which explains its excellent quality.

We also got a car that is fun to drive.

The engine wants to be driven hard, handling on tight corners is excellent, the ride quality is smooth, and the brakes stop in a hurry. The only com-

plaint we have is with the well-designed instrument panel, which has a plastic cover that causes a glare at certain times of the day. Also, we did get 29 mpg on highway trips, but in city traffic the engine wasn’t too happy, only getting 19 to 21 mpg in the hot weather. The vehicle did show 23 mpg overall, compared to the 27 claimed, which is reasonable for an all-wheel drive car.

Overall, the Mazda 3 is a very nice commuter car. Those seeking the best fuel economy and performance might want to pass on the optional all-wheel drive and stick with the standard front-wheel drive version. It’s less expensive to buy as well.

Don’t fall this fall: Life is a balancing act

BY TERI ELKINS

Sun Health Health and Wellness Coordinator

When you think of balance, you might think of balancing your commitments, juggling responsibilities or maintaining a work-life balance. Most adults don’t prioritize their physical balance until a serious health event occurs or after they have already experienced a fall.

As we age, our bodies begin to lose some of the protective mechanisms that exist to help us maintain our balance.

The fat pads on our feet can start to deteriorate, making it more difficult to stay upright. Vestibular problems can develop in the ear, causing dizziness and vertigo, which can make it feel like the room is constantly spinning. Health conditions can also impact balance.

For example, Type 2 diabetes can lead to neuropathy, or numbness in the feet and toes, reducing our control over our feet.

There are steps you can take steps toward reducing some of these bodily changes by participating in certain

exercises and making lifestyle changes. For example, strengthening your leg and core muscles, improving your flexibility and maintaining the range of motion in your joints can all contribute to reducing your risk of fall.

In honor of Falls Prevention Awareness Day, September 23, here are eight tips to help improve your balance and reduce your risk of falling:

gung) have been shown to promote balance for people of all ages. These exercises combine the physical factors that you need to be able to stay upright by improving your flexibility, strength and muscle tone, range of motion and reflexes, all of which tend to weaken with age. They are also low impact, meaning that you can do these practices regardless of whether you have certain medical conditions, though you should always consult with your doctor before you start any new physical activity.

In-home exercise

Prioritize your vision

Ask your health care professional which exercises he or she recommends.

They might recommend activities such as standing on one leg for 30 seconds at a time, doing squats while holding onto a countertop or balance bar or doing heel-to-toe steps on the ground that emulate a tightrope walk.

Fitness practices

Certain fitness practices like tai chi, yoga and qi gong (pronounced CHEE-

Vision tends to decline with age, and if you can’t see very well, it will be harder for you to avoid obstacles on the floor or in your general surroundings, making it easier to trip and fall. Make sure you are visiting your optometrist for a check-up once a year and ensure you have the proper prescription for your glasses or contact lenses.

Reduce floor traffic

A typical home can contain many obstacles putting you at risk of falling.

Consider removing loose throw rugs and any household clutter from major walkways to avoid tripping. You can also secure rugs with double-sided duct tape or add a slip-resistant backing to the rug. Be cautious of loose cords and loose carpeting and tuck those away if possible. If you have small pets that often walk under your feet, you can try adding bells to their collars so that you can hear when they’re nearby.

Light up your space

Keep your home brightly lit to further avoid tripping on floor obstacles.

Consider adding motion-activated nightlights to hallways, bathrooms and the kitchen. Keep a lamp within reach of your bed for easy access in the middle of the night. Traditional switches can even be swapped for glow-in-thedark switches to make it easier to find them in the dark. Make sure any stairs in your home are well-lit by using battery-powered lights at evenly spaced

intervals along the stairway.

Save your sole

The shoes you wear matter more than you might think. Making sure the soles of your shoes are in-tact and slip-resistant can mean the difference between a close call and a slip and fall. Slip-resistant shoes work by using special designs and rubber to keep the sole firmly on the ground. Because you can’t always prevent slippery floors, making sure you’re prepared with shoes that will keep you steady will allow you to walk in confidence.

Reduce your reach

Reaching for items in cabinets and other tough-to-reach areas in the kitchen and bathroom can put you at risk of falling. Some experts recommend reorganizing your cupboards so the things you use regularly are at eye level, reducing the amount you need to reach. Instead of climbing or straining to reach items on the top shelf, get a sturdy step stool or ask for help from another person. You could also invest in a grabbing tool to reach items that are just out of reach.

Shower with safety

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 230,000 people are injured in the bathroom each year. With water and slippery surfaces, the shower in particular can be a risky place for slips and falls. Try installing reinforced grab bars in and around your shower and using slip-resistant mats and rugs to prevent falls when stepping in and out of the shower. If standing for a long period of time makes you dizzy, try using a shower chair or consider installing an accessible walk-in shower with a built-in seat if you don’t have one already.

Take action against falls before they happen!

The power of partnerships … less me and more we Last week, I started a two-part series on partnering, with the hope of bringing some clarity and wisdom for us on the pre-requisite of partnering for success and significance. Let’s start with a partnership example entitled Three Voices — One Heart.

In recent years, opera superstars Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti enjoyed singing together.

They did it frequently, but prior to their first performance the three world-class tenors had never sung together on one stage.

The November 1994 issue of Atlantic Monthly reported that prior to their performance in Los Angeles, a journalist tried to press the issue of competitiveness between the three men. But they quickly disarmed him. “You have to put all of your concentration into opening your heart to the music,” Domingo

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

said. “You can’t be rivals when you’re together making music.”

Do you see that? Even though they were “competitors” in the same market, having different styles and interpretations of opera, none of them were as good as all of them. Mother Teresa said it this way, “You can do what I cannot do. I can do what you cannot do. Together, we can do great things.” Most times, it is better to have one person working with you than three working for you.

I know what you’re thinking. It sounds something like this, “Partner-

ships among diverse people who hold different perspectives is impossible in today’s world. There’s no negotiation, no cooperation, only competition, and marginalization.”

Yes, we do live in world and nation, currently fragmented and polarized. Individuals and small tribal focus groups with loud megaphones challenge us to choose their end of the bell-shaped curve. They think their thing is everything. But when “a” thing becomes “the thing, you don’t get anything — at least for long. Good things taken to extremes become bad things.

God didn’t design us to live at the end of the bell-shaped curve. Believe it or not, sooner or later this, too, will pass. It may pass like a kidney stone, but it will pass. Why? God hates an unjust or false balance. (Proverbs 11:1.)

People who press their finger forcefully on one end of the scale, tipping the scale to their viewpoint without consideration of other’s viewpoints, offend God and others. For every action eventually there is an equal and opposite reaction. When self-absorbed leaders and small focus groups press their finger on the scale, God’s finger presses the other end of the scale, putting things back into balance. God designed people and nations to live in balance and harmony, not at the ends of the bell-shaped curve.

This is true in running a nation. A nation is a group of tribes or states who come together for a common purpose.

In the case of the United States, it is 50 tribes, each with its own distinctives and needs. One or two states, or even five states, should not run the country.

The needs of all 50 states must be considered. The small picture was never designed to be the big picture.

What keeps a nation together is its Constitution. The Constitution defines a country’s values. It’s the law of the land.

Any issue outside of the Constitution is a tribal or state issue. One tribe, state or focus group was never designed to run the nation; that’s too narrow, too provincial, too limited in scope.

Nations were designed so that no one group or person will get everything they want but they can get something of what they want. That takes appreciation, ne-

gotiation, maturity and humility. It’s a celebration of differences. Opposites attract, then negotiate their differences.

That requires partnership. We can agree to disagree, but still be together as a nation, organization, church or whatever.

Often the rough edge of another is the tool that sharpens us. We tend to grow more by a positive partnership than by trying to go it alone.

What is a partnership? Partnership is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishment toward organized objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results. Simply put, it is less “me” and more “we” (author unknown). Partnerships require give and take because partnerships look for a win-win for the betterment of all.

A.W. Tozer said, “God is looking for people though whom He can do the impossible. What a pity that we plan only the things we can do by ourselves.”

Think on this quote: “There isn’t a single person in the world who can make a pencil,” stated Newsweek columnist Milton Freeman as he opened his new TV series, “Free to Choose.”

“The wood may have come from a forest in Washington, the graphite from a mine in South America, and the eraser from a Malaysian rubber plantation.

Thousands of people cooperate to make a pencil.”

Let’s conclude with this thought.

Partnerships won’t work with just a jawbone, a wishbone or a funny bone.

Partnerships work with backbone. John Maxwell says, “Jawbones are people who merely want to talk about it getting done. Wishbones are people who merely wish that someone would do it. Funny bones are people who never get serious about getting it done. Backbones are people who work together to get the job done.”

Here’s the takeaway. If you see a turtle on a fence, it for sure had a partner to get there.

Star students make Merit Scholar semifinalists list

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Seven Glendale students are among the approximately 16,000 semifinalists of the National Merit Scholarship Corporation’s 65th annual National Merit Scholarship Program.

The local semifinalists are: James B. Logan of the Gary K. Herberger Young Scholars Academy; Chloe F. Flaherty of Ironwood High School; and Marty-Tyler I. Mosley, Meredith D. Nicholls, Roshni Patel, Neil S. Walia and Sarah A. Zhao of Mountain Ride High School.

These academically talented high school seniors have an opportunity to continue in the competition for some 7,600 National Merit Scholarships worth more than $31 million that will be offered next spring.

To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition.

Over 90% of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and about half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the Merit Scholar title.

NMSC, a nonprofit organization that operates without government assistance, was established in 1955 specifically to conduct the annual National Merit Scholarship Program. Scholarships are underwritten

by NMSC with its own funds and by approximately 400 business organiza-

tions and higher education institutions that share NMSC’s goals of honoring the nation’s scholastic champions and encouraging the pursuit of academic excellence.

Steps in the 2020 competition

Over 1.5 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program by taking the 2018 Preliminary SAT/ National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, representing less than 1% of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.

The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state’s percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.

To become a finalist, the semifinalist and a high school official must submit a detailed scholarship application, in which they provide information about the semifinalist’s academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards received. A semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, write an essay, and earn SAT or ACT scores that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying test.

1,000 corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards will be provided by approximately 220 corporations and business organizations for finalists who meet their specified criteria, such as children of the grantor’s employees or residents of communities where sponsor plants or offices are located.

In addition, about 180 colleges and universities are expected to finance some 4,100 college-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards for finalists who will attend the sponsor institution.

National Merit Scholarship winners of 2020 will be announced in four nationwide news releases beginning in April and concluding in July.

These scholarship recipients will join more than 345,000 other distinguished young people who have earned the Merit Scholar title.

All qualified firms interested in providing the required services are invited to submit their proposal to this Request for Proposal (RFP). All proposals must comply with the requirements specified in this RFP. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Glendale’s current streetlighting program covers more than 42 square miles and is comprised of approximately 21,300 streetlights, including 830 downtown pedestrian lights.

In addition to the already existing streetlights there is a need to install another 380 streetlights (approx.) in areas where there currently are none. Included in this number are approximately 320 streetlights that are needed in various infill locations and another 60 streetlights which have been requested by local residents. The City is serviced by two electric utility companies, Salt River Project (SRP) and Arizona Public Service (APS). Both utility companies provide electric service to approximately half of the 42 square mile area covered by the City’s streetlighting program. Both utility companies have their own streetlight specifications that are intended to supplement the specifications in the City’s Streetlighting Manual, however, the City’s manual was last updated in 2006 and requires updating to current industry standards. The City recently completed a streetlight pole inspection program that identified several issues. A two-year contract was awarded to a firm to address some of the identified issues. Missing identification pole numbers or wrong pole numbers displayed, Poles installed without an electrical junction box, Poles with severe surface rust, Poles in need of painting to prevent further rust damage, Poles with worn internal wiring, Poles installed excessively close to the edge of the roadway, Poles with photocells (photocontrols) beyond their useful life. SCOPE OF WORK The selected Consultant will work closely with City and Streetlighting staff during all phases of this project.

The City will utilize the services of the consulting firm for streetlighting programming and program management assistance, budgeting and preliminary cost estimating, streetlighting design and construction administration, as applicable.
