State reps push to increase refugees via GRACE BY ALLISON ENGSTROM

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

With the support of volunteers, students and state representatives, attendees at a Sept. 17, event made phone calls, wrote postcards and signed petitions in an effort to get the Guaranteed Refugee Admission Ceiling Enhancement Act (GRACE) passed. The act would set a mandatory minimum of 95,000 refugee admissions into the United States every year. Arranged by the Phoenix chapter of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the event was held at Arizona College in Glendale. Aaron Rippenkroeger, executive direc-

tor of the IRC, feels strongly about this act as the number of refugee admissions has been dwindling under the current administration. “If the GRACE Act were to get passed it would be a game-changer for 95,000 lives a year,” Rippenkroeger said. Rippenkroeger explained how the number has continued to shrink from 110,000 annual refugees to 30,000. He worries there’s only so much lower it can go. Arizona House Minority Leader Democratic Leader Charlene Fernandez, D-Yuma, State Sen. Juan Mendez, D-Temp, and Rep. Athena Salman, D-Temp, worked alongside attendees. “We are facing the worst human mi-

gration crisis, the worst refugee crisis in modern history,” Salman said. “It is now that we need to take more people in because that is what we owe to our sisters and brothers around the world.” Salman is confident the message of the GRACE act will be heard. “We know that if we continue to put the pressure if we continue to keep the heat going, this administration can’t completely abandoned those values and promises,” Salman said. Over 360 bipartisan officials, across over 40 states, recently released a letter in support of the GRACE act. Of the 360 signatures, 36 were from SEE REFUGEES PAGE 3

There are two phrases people commonly use, both powerfully effective at deflecting responsibility: 1. “It’s not my job”; and 2. “It’s not my problem.” Sgt. Jeff Turney of the Glendale Police Department doesn’t know the meaning of either phrase. “We’re in it for the people,” he says of his job — which, it seems, is free of boundaries. At the end of August, Turney went to Howard Benson’s home near 75th Avenue and West Camelback Road. A Florida man called 911, frantic about Benson, his 93-year-old father. SEE VETS PAGE 2

Often times, the story goes like this: The family feels mom or dad is no longer safe to be alone and begs the elder to go into a home but the old timer digs in and refuses. In this unusual scenario, Howard Benson was all set to go to an assisted living home in Florida. The problem was, the World War II veteran wanted to drive. By himself. The next day. Turney walked into Benson’s home, with nothing in his job description telling him what to do; Benson wasn’t breaking any laws, so handcuffs were out. In his gut, Turney knew Benson — who had been in the hospital after a diabetic coma just a few weeks before — would never make it by himself. Armed with maps and an itinerary, the frail but intrepid Howard Benson would not be talked out of his plans. Yet Turney didn’t see a problem. He saw his father. Turney had three days off coming, and he made a snap decision. “How about if I drive you?” he asked Benson. Benson agreed. So, the next morning, Turney was back at the Benson home. He loaded up a 10-foot trailer with things Howard couldn’t bear to leave behind and the two of them hit the road. It might sound like a Hollywood mismatched-buddy movie, though it sure wasn’t glamorous. “I had to help him in and out of the car, help him in the shower, help him get into bed,” said a grinning Turney, 58, an 18-year veteran officer.

“My dad passed away a few years ago and before he went, toward the end I was giving him full care … I treated Howard like he’s my dad.” The two made it to Florida in just over three days. Benson, who turns 94 on Oct. 19, said he had a great trip with the Glendale cop. “I was very pleased,” Benson said last week, from Florida. “The officer and my personality met perfectly. He was in the service and so was I.” Benson shared stories of flying for the Navy as a radar operator during World War II, and listened to Turney’s tales of going on tricky domestic violence calls. “I tell you, I wish that I was able to walk again and do things with him,” Benson said of Turney. “I think him and I would be great friends, forever.” Back at the Glendale Police Department last week, Turney played off the road trip as no big deal. “I do a lot to help. It’s just what we do,” Turney said. The trip generated some memorable moments for Turney. He got to give Benson a tour of the Keesler Air Base in Biloxi, Mississippi, where Turney was stationed during part of his 21 years in the Air Force. Driving up to the Florida assisted living home, Turney got to see the big “Welcome Home” sign — and take part in the welcoming party for Howard. And, best of all, shortly after flying back to Glendale, Jeff Turney was welcomed home with a short, invaluable phrase from his youngest son: “Keep doing what you’re doing, Dad.”

Arizona bipartisan elected officials assuring their support for refugees in the Valley. Rippenkroeger worries about the negative effects this shrinking number will have on the city. The IRC has continued to be an international support system for the thousands of people who flee their home countries from violence every year and seek safety in America. In Phoenix, the IRC is able to help dozens of refugees expand small businesses from restaurants to barbershops across the Valley. The IRC helps refugees gain access to things like education and housing across the Valley. Economically speaking, another cut in the number of admitted refugees could impact the Phoenix economy, Rippenkroeger explains. On a humanitarian level, Rippenkroeger emphasized the disconnect between America’s values and the actions taking place under the current administration. “It feels enormously contrary to our historical stance and efforts,” Rippenkroeger said. He added the IRC plans to continue to stand by refugees and voice their

message to officials. “What we are trying to do is speak as loudly as we can that that is not what we believe in as Americans or as Arizonans, and we want to be as loud and visible as we can,” Rippenkroeger said. The new number of refugee admissions is expected to be announced by the end of September.

“One of the core values of the United States of America is the compassion and welcome for people who are fleeing violence and persecution,” Rippenkroeger said. Fernandez left the room with a message of hope: “This is about kindness, this is about humanity, and this is about treating people like our neighbor.”

Local veteran helps fellow retirees get informed BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Glendale Star Staff Writer

Ron Quillen, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, remembers a widow who was crying over her late husband who had served in the military. “I was out at the commissary one day and there was this older lady that sat in a wheelchair crying her heart out,” the Goodyear resident said. “Her husband had died, but in the process of their time in the service, there was one piece of paper that he didn’t sign and that was the one piece of paper that would allow her to have an income after he died.” Quillen said the grieving widow lost everything due to the lack of information she and her late husband possessed on how to handle legal documents. It is because of stories like these that he volunteers to run the Retiree Appreciation Day. Luke Air Force Base Retiree Appreciation Day is 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 26. The event will consist of multiple information desks where veterans can get different kinds of information. Its purpose is to assist retirees with information and to keep them

linked to the military family. “We are bringing in about 50 information desks and we cover anything from the medical center to the attorney general’s office,” Quillen said. “The attorneys come there and if you have legal questions or if you want to set up a will, they will be there.” The RAO provides information such as federal and state benefits for veterans and their family members, medical facilities, retirement pay, veterans’ affairs and burial benefits for retirees, veterans service organizations, former spouse eligibility such as TriCare and dental plans, as well as other programs. Attendees are also encouraged to “bring your arms,” as immunizations will be given, as well as to bring any legal questions they may heave. Judge advocates members will be there to assist retirees with legal issues. The Luke AFB RAO is located at 7383 Litchfield Road, Building 1150, Suite 1181, Luke AFB. Quillen said his passion stems from the time he served in the military. He served in the Air Force from 1957 to 1961. But because he broke his back in

1960, and had a limited military career, he has found a way to give back to its members by volunteering with the Retiree Appreciation Day. “I didn’t get much of a military career and I didn’t fight for our country,” Quillen said. “This is my way of paying back, because I didn’t serve 20 years and the taxpayers pay my living, so I think I owe the taxpayers something.” Quillen sees a need for a service that gives veterans information due to an influx of inquiries received every day from people looking for information. “We get phone calls all day long at the office asking, ‘Where do I get family assistance? How do I get housing? How do we do this? How do we do that?’” He said it is difficult to watch older veterans who don’t have access to the information that is constantly updated. He holds spouses who have lost a significant other close in his heart. “One of the saddest things you have to do is, when somebody loses a spouse and they don’t know which way to turn, we steer them in the right direction,” Quillen said.

Although Quillen is excited to see people from the Luke community participate in the event, he is dedicated to all the branches and not just the air force. Because of this, he said he has “spent many days and nights at hospitals with veterans and their families.” His duty, today, is to assist as many veterans as he can and to continue to spread the wealth of information that is available to military families, as he described it. And the ROA mission is “to provide information to veterans, because a lot of stuff that comes out, they just don’t get. A lot of them don’t have computers.” The ROA is meant to educate retirees and veterans who may be unclear on a topic or need assistance. Quillen said the ROA is something all bases are required to do if they are able to find volunteers to run the office. And at the age of 80, he is looking forward to continuing to serve his country in any way he can. “We’re not looking for anything other than to be able to contact veterans. That’s our sole purpose and drive,” Quillen said.

Trooper arrested on 61 charges against women BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Associate Editor

Women who drove on Interstate 17 or Interstate 10 in the Glendale and West Phoenix areas late at night over the last year were in danger of being preyed on by an alleged rogue trooper. Tremaine Jackson, a 43-year-old Buckeye resident, is a former Arizona Department of Safety trooper who was fired shortly before his Sept. 10 arrest. He faces 61 charges, including kidnapping, false imprisonment and attempted sexual assault of eight women. A preliminary hearing for Jackson that was scheduled for Sept. 20 was delayed until this Friday, according to the Superior Court of Arizona. All of the eight allegedly unlawful stops Jackson made took place late at night. Five of them were off of I-10, between I-17 and U.S. 101. Two allegedly unlawful stops by Jackson were off of I-17, one at Thomas Road, the other Northern Avenue on the outskirts of Glendale. According to a summary document released by DPS, Jackson often kept

At 3:29 a.m. on Dec. 23, Jackson allegedly made an illegal stop on the I-10 in Buckeye. He directed the driver to stop on Verrado Way, about 3 miles from the West Solano Drive address that Jackson gave as his residence when he was arrested. Jackson allegedly took the victim’s keys and phone. According to the document, the victim repeatedly asked Jackson to let her go. “What are you willing to do?” Jackson allegedly responded. The case made national news, with CNN and the New York Times detailing the charges. Buckeye resident Tremaine Jackson was arrested on 61 charges, “We are horrified,” DPS including kidnapping, false imprisonment and attempted sexual Director Col. Frank Milstead assault. (Photo courtesy Arizona Department of Public Safety) said, in a press conference women at roadside for extended pe- announcing Jackson’s termination and riods of time, insinuating he would arrest. The 61 charges stem from eight unrelease them if they offered sexual falawful traffic stops that Jackson is alvors. leged to have made. At the Sept. 10 press conference, Milstead asked members of the public who felt they were treated inappropriately by Jackson to call DPS. “Potential victims have been identified since the press conference,” DPS Sgt. Kameron Lee said. “We can’t discuss how many calls we have received.” Jackson allegedly entered false information into a computer system to hide traffic stops as long as an hour long. During the stops, he is said to have kept frightened women from leaving the scenes, often asking for

their phone numbers. According to documents released to the press, “Jackson generated DPS warnings with false information, false times, false locations, false violations and with no … violation of the law to conduct the traffic stop.” Lee was asked if the Jackson case led to any department changes and/ or reviews, particularly with regard to stops and tracking. “The department already highly tracks activity and has policies in place requiring the accurate tracking of activity to include traffic stops,” Lee responded. “Jackson made the conscious decision to violate those policies and public trust as displayed by his behavior.” This phrase was repeated in the summaries of several other alleged unlawful stops by Jackson. Lee was asked if DPS had tips for any public members who feel they are being treated inappropriately on a stop. “A person call always request the presence of a supervisor or a second trooper on a stop,” Lee said. “Almost all of our traffic stops are handled professionally, as we expect they should. “We receive very few complaints in comparison to the number of citizen contact we have on a daily basis. Troopers are directed to be cordial and respectful; to give their names and reason for the stop as well as explain the outcome of each stop.” Those who feel Jackson treated them inappropriately are encouraged by AZDPS to call the victim hotline number, 602-223-2389. Victims can also visit azdps.gov/ jackson to submit a report.

Child’s death being investigated as ‘suspicious’ BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The death of a 4-year-old is being investigated by the Glendale Police Department. On Sept. 18, a 911 call for a medical emergency sent Glendale fire-paramedics and officers to the 6300 block of North 64th Drive. CPR was not successful. “Upon (police) officers arrival, Glendale Fire was on scene and advised the

child was a full code,” said Jay O’Neill, a spokesman for the Glendale Police. The child was transported to a local hospital where the child was later pronounced deceased. “No further details are being released as the investigation into cause is on-going at this time,” said O’Neill. The death, he added, “is being treated as suspicious in nature.”

Glendale police arrest man with 2,000 fentanyl pills BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF A traffic stop by Glendale Police turned into an arrest when the driver was found to have more than 2,000 fentanyl pills. Euerado Vega was booked into Glendale City Jail on Sept. 15. Around 9 p.m., Vega was pulled over near North 59th and Olive avenues after officers said the BWM he was driving ran a red light. After determining he did not have a valid Arizona driver’s license, officers searched the vehicle and found a loaded semi-automatic hand gun, according to the arrest report filed by Glendale Officer Matthew Hinte. Inside the trunk of the BMW, officers found a box containing a large quantity of pills. A test showed the pills to con-

tain fentanyl, which, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency, is extremely potent and can be deadly. “Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80-100 times stronger than morphine,” says the DEA website dea.gov. “Fentanyl is added to heroin to increase its potency, or be disguised as highly potent heroin. “Many users believe that they are purchasing heroin and actually don’t know that they are purchasing fentanyl – which often results in overdose deaths.” Vega was booked on charges including possession of narcotic drugs for sale, possession of a deadly weapon during a felony offense and possession of a concealed deadly weapon by a person under 21 years of age.

That means free admission, as the Tonto National Forest will waive fees at several day-use recreation sites on Saturday. It’s a “fee-free day” at various dayuse locations at Apache Lake, Bartlett Lake, Canyon Lake, Roosevelt Lake, Saguaro Lake, Salt River and Verde River. Additionally, Tonto staff is partnering with multiple groups from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the Phon D Sutton Recreation Area on the Lower Salt River, about 16 miles northeast of Mesa. There is no fee for attendees to participate in several activities, including

mountain bike and kayak demonstrations from REI, paddleboarding for beginners and planting for a “butterfly way station.” This is also a huge day for giving back. National Public Lands Day is the nation’s largest single-day volunteer effort in support of public lands. Each year, hundreds of thousands of volunteers come together on the fourth Saturday in September to assist with various projects designed to restore and enhance public parks, forests, waterways and more. Volunteers will have the chance to roll up their sleeves and work side-byside to care for public lands. For more information, visit publiclandsday.org.

Not long after the first day of school back east, my buddy called with a complaint: His daughter, a brand new fourth-grader, had just participated in her first “active shooter drill,” an exercise meant to prepare kids for the possibility that a psychopath with an AR-15 might one day soon storm the school and begin firing. “I can’t believe this is the world we live in now,” my friend said. “We have to train kids how not to be killed at school. Because it could actually happen, so they have to be ready. Unreal.” This was the point in the conversation where I made a critical mistake — by trying to use reason instead of simply agreeing with him.

“You know how many mass shootings there have been in America so far this year?” I asked. “Let me tell you. About 300. About 300 shootings across the country where four or more people have been shot by a single gunman in a single incident.” My friend: “So what’s your point?” Me: “There are about 100,000 public schools in the United States. Do you know how many people have been killed by gunfire at one of those schools this year? Three. And none of those involved a mass shooter.” We’ve had many of these conversations, so what came next was predictable. My buddy explained how my point made no sense. Then he uttered a phrase I’ve heard many times from him this past decade:

“Dude, you don’t have kids, so you really don’t get it.” I’ll stipulate to this fact. He is absolutely correct; I don’t have kids. Nor do I understand why it makes sense to scare the crap out of children, ripping boogeymen from the headlines so children can be prepared for an incident that has less of a chance of happening than being killed by hornets, wasps or bees. By the way, your chances of dying by a lethal sting? About one in 63,225 across your lifetime, according to the National Safety Council. Your chances of being mauled to death by a dog? About one in 112,000. Being killed by lightning? About one in 162,000. Even if my buddy refuses to recognize my point, I imagine many of you get where I’m going with this: There’s nothing wrong with teaching children to be aware of life’s dangers and preparing them to respond to potentially deadly threats. But such preparation can be detrimental if we don’t also teach kids — and ourselves — to arrange life’s threats in some kind of hierarchy. The child who goes through life

swilling sodas and eating pancakes for dinner but ready for a mass shooting on school grounds is likely the kid who dies early from heart disease. You’ve got a lifetime one in seven chance of dying that way if you’re playing along at home. To be clear, I’m not arguing for ignorance because such an uneducated state represents bliss. I’m arguing for more education in hopes that it creates the ability to balance what’s realistic and what’s wildly unlikely. It’s an exercise I’ve performed myself over and over, like whenever a plane trip makes me nervous. I remind myself that every day in this country, about 87,000 domestic flights take off and land. On the worst day in aviation history, sick bastards managed to gain control of four planes. When it comes to dying in any one particular horrible way, the odds are perpetually in our favor — a point we’d be wise to remember. Unfortunately, our odds of dying overall remain one in one. I haven’t figured out a way around that yet, but I’m working on it. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.

OPINION

Human connection needed for suicide prevention BY CLINT HICKMAN

Maricopa County District 4 Supervisor

Did you know that in the United States 129 individuals experience death by suicide each day? Twenty of those occur within our veteran population. A few weeks ago, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors joined a nationwide effort to bring real human connection and vital resources to those with thoughts of suicide, proclaiming September Suicide Awareness Month. As we discussed the proclamation and what we could do as an organization, I learned a few things that I wanted to share with you. The first is that this an issue affecting people of all ages, from all backgrounds, and it is not going away. My thoughts turn to veterans in our community who can be especially prone to dark thoughts and feelings of isolation as they transition back to civilian life. I also think about another statistic I heard, that suicide is the second leading cause of death for those ages 10 to 34. Consider that for a moment. Peo-

ple just starting their lives are ending them, seeing no other way out of their hopelessness. Overall, suicide rates are up 30% since 1999. These thoughts and struggles are all around us, in people we’ve met and maybe in people we know well. We cannot turn a blind eye and we cannot stifle our voice. It is time for the stigma attached to suicide to end. To have an impact and to save lives, we must talk about this in the open and we must be vigilant. That brings me to the second thing I learned. Death by suicide often seems like a shock to those left behind, but there are often warning signs. Among them: • Talking about feeling trapped or in unbearable pain. • Talking about being a burden to others. • Increasing the use of alcohol or drugs. • Acting anxious or agitated; behaving recklessly. • Sleeping too little or too much. • Withdrawing or isolating.

• Showing rage or talking about seeking revenge. • Extreme mood swings. Beyond that, you may not realize that certain people are at greater risk to develop suicidal thoughts. Among the risk factors: mental disorders, history of trauma or abuse, loss of relationship or job and severe health issues. The third thing I learned is that there are resources to help you or a loved one. Here are three: • National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255, suicidepreventionlifeline.org. • Veterans Crisis Line: 1-800-273-8255, veteranscrisisline.net. • Be Connected (Arizona Veterans): 1-866-4AZ-VETS, beconnectedaz.org. That last resource on the list is the result of a statewide coalition, of which Maricopa County government is involved, dedicated to holistic support of our veterans. There’s a 24/7 hotline they can call, an online tool that can match them with resources

specific to their needs, and connections to training and job skills that can help with that next step in life. I also want to mention the work being done at the Military and Veteran Success Center at Luke Air Force Base. Backed by the Maricopa County Industrial Development Authority, it’s the nation’s first community-backed, case-managed support center for transitioning military, veterans and their families, and offers many of those same connections. At the heart of this talk about suicide prevention is a simple but profound idea: What people in crisis often need most is plain and simple human connection. They need to know that they matter, that someone will fight for them, care for them or even just notice them and see their value. In Arizona, we average one death by suicide every seven hours. As one of the state’s largest employers, Maricopa County is encouraging people to watch out for one another and to make those daily human connections that may just save someone’s life. How will you do that today?

Crumbl Cookies coming soon to the West Valley BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

For Katelyn and Jonny Rundell, Crumbl Cookies runs in the family. The couple owns the Phoenix location at 4747 E. Bell Road, Suite 9, along with both of their parents. Now, they plan to open another set of doors at the corner of Interstate 17 and Peoria Avenue on Oct. 10. Before moving to Arizona, the Rundells were managers at Crumbl locations in Utah, where they met the founders of the gourmet cookie shop. “Even when we were working at the Utah stores, we always wanted to open our own,” Katelyn Rundell said. “But, the availability wasn’t the same in Utah, so we came here where there was an opening.” The signature cookie is a warm chocolate chip or chilled sugar cookie. On Mondays, four specialty cookies are introduced via social media as weekly specials. A recent week boasted coconut lime with fresh lime zest; hazelnut churro filled with Nutella; dark dream, a warm dark chocolate cookie with semisweet chocolate chips; and circus animal, which hearkens to the childhood treats. Delivery options are available for those near the store. A box of four

oversized cookies starts at around $10. However, Rundell wants to make sure customers walk away satisfied with more than just the taste of the baked goods. The decorations of the store change and the staff aims to give great customer service. “We want them to leave feeling like the experience they had was more than just the cookie itself,” she said. “The look of the place is appetizing and friendly, and that they’re happy when they walk out the door.”

Though they are still relatively new owners, the Rundells are growing their brand fast, with additions to the business model. Rundell said new technology will speed up the baking and serving processes, ice cream ﬂavors will rotate like the cookie menu and boxes will boast new designs. She said the summer months were a little lighter than expected, but with seasonal residents returning to the Valley, coupled with the loyal customer base, Crumbl Cookies is in a good spot

to ﬂourish. “We’d heard good things about coming to Phoenix and they’ve all been true. So, we’re excited to see what we can do at the second location,” Rundell said. “It is going to be a lot of work, but it should be fun.”

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Hello, readers! Welcome back to Business Briefcase — the column with all the great business news in Glendale, from new openings to closings, construction and developments, grand-opening and ribbon-cutting events, networking and anything else that fits. This is the first column after a weeklong lapse, and with it comes several new openings. From Mexican food to crêpes, this week has quite a unique variety. Plus, if you’re a downtown business owner or stakeholder, you can stop by a recurring event. Here’s the news! First, Caramba Mexican Food opened a new location at Westgate. The newest in a chain of six popular local Mexican restaurants — which includes three others in Glendale, one in Scottsdale and one in Phoenix — the Westgate location is at 9455 W. Glendale Avenue, near Dutch Bros. And its menu is varied, with offerings ranging from combo plats to simply burritos, tacos, enchiladas, tostadas, quesadillas, cheese crisps, nachos, salads, tortas, desserts, sides, drinks and even breakfast options. Caramba will even cater. For more information, visit carambamex.com. Moving along, Maya Crêpe Café has opened at Arrowhead Towne Center, 7700 W. Arrowhead Towne Center, on the lower level, across from Aldo. Crêpes vary in style, with Maya offering options like Twix crêpes; a “Tropical Fusion” of coconut pecan spread,

mangoes, pineapple and condensed milk; and grilled chicken fajitas. Also on the menu are drinks such as espresso and Italian bulb drinks, and desserts such as French macarons, wafﬂes, cheesecake and more. But that’s just a glance. Stop in to try something, and maybe get some shopping out of the way on the side. For more information, find Maya Crêpe Café on Facebook @ mayacrepecafe. Up next, the Downtown Glendale Merchant and Stakeholder Meeting is back. It will be from 7:30 to 10 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15. The first half hour is dedicated to check-ins, light refreshments and networking, while the meeting will occupy the final portion. This event is targeted at individuals who own a downtown business or even just have some sort of stake in the success of the community. It is suggested that guests bring business cards, as networking aside there will be a door prize drawing. Bringing a door prize related to your business is suggested, too. The event will be once again held at Off the Cuff, 5817 W. Glendale Avenue, next to the Cuff restaurant. For more information, contact Shea Kinkead at skinkead@glendaleazchamber.org or 623-937-4754.

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.

Amazing Lash Studio is about culture and comfort BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

a couple years off you.” Toth’s stylists have heard this from their clients as well, she said. “I was doing an interview for the support center for one of their presentations,” she said. “A member came in, an older woman who was divorced. She had gone to a retreat for the weekend, where you find yourself and start over. “One of the rules was you couldn’t wear makeup. She said she was the only one with a set of lashes on and all the women were in awe. We’ve heard from female cancer survivors who have lost their hair but still have lashes. They get extensions and that comforts them.” The 1,600-square-foot, 12 lash-room Arrowhead studio is celebrating its grand opening for a month. Toth is offering $20 off a full set until October 20 at Arrowhead. Toth’s goal is to be tenacious with customer service and to empower the staff. “We’re new and everyone’s forming relationships,” she said. “This is when it’s vital to set the tone as far as what we expect in our culture. Obviously, we want to set the example. “For Norterra, my biggest goal is to keep growing and have fun with it. The whole point is to have fun.”

Glendale Star Executive Editor

When Angela Toth was returning to the workforce after staying at home with her children, she wanted to do something for herself. She was getting her lashes done at Amazing Lash Studio and picked up a franchising pamphlet. She was sold. “I needed to build my career for myself, rather than going to work for someone and working my way up through the corporate system,” she said. “I didn’t want to spend that much time away from home.” Toth opened a studio in Norterra two years ago, and the week of Sept. 16, she expanded to Arrowhead. “Before I opened Norterra, I spoke to a lot of women business owners and spoke to them about how they handle their work-life balance,” she said. “They had positive things to say. It was a lot of work.” Founded in 2010, Amazing Lash Studio applies semi-permanent eyelash extensions with a proprietary, patented process to the clients’ lashes, replicating the curve and size of natural lashes. The concept began franchising in 2013 and to date has nearly 218 open studios in 29 states. Amazing Lash Studio offers four unique styles and a variety of lengths and thicknesses, and the customizable combinations to fit each guest’s specific look are nearly endless. With proper care and regular maintenance visits, lash extensions can last for weeks. The brand stands behind the safety of its products and services too. Synthetic eyelashes are adhered about 1 millimeter away from skin and Amazing Lash Studio only uses medical grade adhesive.

Amazing Lash Studio—which boasts 12 lash rooms in a 2,000-square-foot office at Norterra—has a patented application process that enables a staff of licensed estheticians and cosmetologists to complete the service quickly. To prepare Toth to open, Amazing Lash Studio’s corporate office sent trainers to Arizona. Toth said that was important, but creating a culture is vital. “The support center provided training for us, just best practices, the manuals and such,” Toth said. “The human experience and the customer experience are important, too. There’s no teaching empathy. We have to create a culture. That part you definitely learn as you go.” A Michigan native married to an orthopedic surgeon, Toth fell in love with the business after she used it. “It’s instant gratification,” she said.

Texas Tech fans have good feelings about Kingsbury BY ALEX SIMON Cronkite News

Before Kliff Kingsbury made the move from Lubbock, Texas, to Arizona in 2019, Whitney Norman did the exact same in 2013, sparked out of a high school visit to see a childhood friend in Chandler. “I was like, ‘Chandler? What’s that? I’m from Texas, what is Chandler, Arizona?’” Norman said. “I come out to visit her when I was 16. It’s December and it’s 80 degrees and there’s palm trees and lemon trees in her backyard. I’m like, ‘What is this place? This is awesome.’” Norman graduated from Texas Tech University in 2002, lining her up directly with Kingsbury’s seasons as the Red Raiders’ quarterback. She had been a lifelong Lubbock resident until moving to Scottsdale, but she knew she had to find the piece of the only home she’d ever known and reached out to the Texas Tech Alumni Association’s Phoenix chapter, ready to get

Tech lost 28-14. While some flew in from Texas for the game, Norman and Victoria Canada were part of the large contingent that made the two-hour drive down from the Phoenix area. Canada normally works on weekends as a wedding and event planner, requiring her to record the games and demand that her friends go radio-silent about the game until after she watches. But she was never going to book an event for that particular Saturday. “It’s been on my calendar for, like, ever,” Canada said. A 1997 graduate of Tech, Canada helped with organizing the pregame social event for Red Raider fans, coordinating with Alumni Association president and CEO Curt Langford and Texas Tech alum Adam Latham, who moved to Tucson recently for work after falling in love with the state. “I really like Arizona, as a whole.

Sunnyslope aiming for fourth consecutive badminton title BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

It has been a while since Sunnyslope badminton has lost a match, and even longer since it suffered a playoff defeat. The Vikings have captured state titles for three consecutive seasons and went a perfect 14-0 in their 2018 campaign. For returning seniors like Jade Halpin, who have seen nothing but championships for the team her entire high school career, there is a sense of pressure for the girls to do it again. “People kind of expect it from us at this point,” she said. The jerseys are the same, but the players are not. Sunnyslope’s varsity squad has just two returning players that played matches in the 2018 playoffs: Halpin and junior Sofia Lovesy. Coach Sarah Schlesinger believes the Vikings have comparable talent to years past, but they lack the same level of experience. The majority of the

She said matches in the regular season often result in the opponents’ best effort, seeing how they can match up against defending champions. That pressure is at least a bit of practice for the playoffs each night. “They still have to Junior Sofia Lovesy prove themselves all hits a backhand the time because it’s for Sunnyslope badminton. a new season, new (Glendale Star photo group.

The AIA instituted new scoring compete for both the team and individin badminton matches, which just adds ual titles this season, agreed. She said another factor of difficulty in working each match, even against teams with every day to defend the championship. less talent, needs to be taken as lessons

for the future. “It makes each game more meaningful, because we have that one goal, and each day is a step toward it. It’s a short season, so we have to do it like that,” she said. There is a lot of promise from Sunnyslope’s young players. The captains understand how intimidating it can be to enter a team with such history and pedigree, and be expected to perform right away to keep up the streak. However, Lovesy said over the course of the season she expects each of her teammates to improve drastically. There will be challenges along the way, but even the new Vikings appear excited to try and make another deep postseason run. “You can see it in the way girls carry themselves, and the way they fight for spots on varsity,” Lovesy said. “They understand the importance of being on this team, and it’s not just another game. It’s defending the reputation.”

This is just the first step in our efforts to grow the game and reach the Latino market.”

as, but with that New Mexico flair,” said Latham, a 2006 graduate of Texas Tech. It was expected to be the second game Kingsbury coached for the Red Raiders in the state of Arizona, after 2016’s wild 68-55 loss to Arizona State in Tempe. But after six years as the beloved head coach of his alma mater, Kingsbury was fired by Texas Tech athletic director Kirby Hocutt on Nov. 25. And while Tech needed four days to hire Matt Wells from Utah State as their new head coach, Kingsbury was only without a job for 10 days before being hired by USC to become its offensive coordinator. But for all of December, while he was at USC, there were constant rumors that NFL teams were interested in Kingsbury — as a head coach. Once

the calendar flipped to 2019, Kingsbury was interviewed by the New York Jets and the Arizona Cardinals, with the Cardinals officially hiring him on Jan. 8. In a span of 44 days, Arizona-based Texas Tech fans had gone from having Kingsbury fired from as the head coach of their college’s football team to being hired as the head coach of the local professional team. “I didn’t really believe it was happening, truly,” Canada said. “I was like, ‘There’s no way. He’s at USC.’ When we heard, of course, we were super excited and I had about 20 people texting me. There was a lot of buzz.” Norman relates the situation in her mind to an amicable break-up, saying, “It’s like a relationship where both people know it’s not meant to be. In your younger years, especially, you

just both go about your ways. This wasn’t meant to be, but other things were meant to be, and because of Texas Tech, he is where he is.” That sentiment is felt back in Lubbock, too, where Langford admitted there was disappointment that the Kingsbury era in Lubbock didn’t work out, but the love for him as an alum of the school has never wavered. “Kliff is part of the family. We love Kliff and everybody wanted that to be successful,” Langford said. “We were incredibly excited when he came home to be coach. He’s a favorite son and has an exciting brand of football. I’m not a coach and I don’t know the X’s and O’s, and for whatever reason, it didn’t work out.” But with the benefit of hindsight, that may not be a bad thing, and Langford pointed out that an old Texas Tech slogan – “From here, it’s possible” — fits aptly with Kingsbury’s two-month turnaround. “Even though he was let go at Tech, from here, it’s possible that he’s let go at Tech and becomes an NFL head coach. Are you kidding me? It’s fun,” Langford said. “Before, I had no desire or interest in watching Arizona (Cardinals) football. Now, I’m kind of curious, and I’m watching. We want him to succeed.” That climb fits in to what could easily be seen as a banner year for Texas Tech across the board. Former Red Raider quarterback Patrick Mahomes was the NFL’s MVP. The men’s track and field team won the national championship in June. The men’s basketball team reached the national championship game, losing to Virginia in overtime. The baseball team made the College World Series for the fourth time in the last six years. And Canada made sure to point out the school’s renowned meat judging team, which was featured by Sports Illustrated in May. Those accomplishments are highlighting what Canada lovingly calls “an out-of-the-way school in the middle of nowhere,” which helps build up a unique sense of pride that Langford sees from alumni of Texas Tech all across the country.

The Glendale

“We serve a vast region of the state, from Amarillo down to Midland/Odessa and Abilene and all the way out to El Paso,” said Langford, himself a two-time graduate of Texas Tech and a part of the second of a three-generation Red Raider family. “We’ve really planted our flag very firmly, representing what we call ‘the giant side of Texas.’ We have achieved so much more with less.” Latham agreed and added, “We’re a very unique group out there in Texas. We’re diehards. We travel well together. We’re out there on an island in West Texas, out in the middle of nowhere, and that builds really strong bonds and unique experiences.” Latham’s already planned a trip or two up to Glendale for a Cardinals game this season, and was impressed by how Kingsbury and rookie quarterback and top overall pick Kyler Murray came back against the Detroit Lions in Week 1. “That game there was so exciting with the Cardinals. It was like, ‘OK, y’all made a horrible mistake,’ and then he started making the calls,” Latham said. “He’s never coached in the NFL. In his first game, to bring it to a tie with a rookie quarterback is saying something. I think he’s going to do fairly well with the Cardinals.” That’d be great for Norman, who runs a travel agency company that still keeps an office in Lubbock. She said she and her husband, Randy, have been fans of the Cardinals since her friend was a cheerleader for Arizona, but the new connection to their college and hometown has solidified that fandom. “It’s all come to fruition for us,” Norman said. “Moving to Arizona, becoming a Cardinals fan before that, and now Kliff being here.” And even while he is no longer the head coach for the Red Raiders, Langford sees what Kingsbury is doing now as him continuing to be a star representative of his alma mater. “If he’s making a bigger impact there, that’s bearing our banners far and wide for Texas Tech in a whole new way,” Langford said.

Monster trucker ready to jam for hometown BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor

When Todd LeDuc returns home to the West Valley to compete in Monster Jam, there are certain feelings that go along with it. “You always get goosebumps when you have your hometown show and family and friends are there watching,” LeDuc said. “It’s not necessarily nerves. I just want to perform well for my local Arizonan friends and family. The biggest thing is the fans can cheer for someone who lives there. It gives a lot of kids and young adults hope. They can be from Phoenix and on the world stage of Monster Jam.” LeDuc is among the competitors at Monster Jam, which rolls into State Farm Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 5. Besides LeDuc and his rebranded Monster Jam Fire & Ice specialty truck, the “battle of the metal beasts” features Grave Digger and Max-D (driven by 12-time Monster Jam Monster truck driver Todd LeDuc moved to Peoria about ﬁve year ago. (Photos courtesy Monster Jam)

World Finals champion Tom Meents); and the Phoenix truck debut of truck Bakugan Dragonoid. Monster Jam is one of the only sports where male and female worldclass drivers, some generational rivals, are equals competing for the same championship on the same track. Fans can vote for the truck winner in the donut, wheelie and freestyle competitions by real-time, in-arena fan voting on their smartphones. A five-year Peoria resident, LeDuc recommends arriving early for the Monster Jam Pit Party, which gives fans access to view the trucks up close and meet the star drivers for autographs and photos. The limited quantity Pit Party Early Access Pass provides fans entry into the Pit Party one hour before open to the general public. “Every show has a Pit Party,” he said. “Four hours before the show starts, we have a Pit Party and an early access, when you pay a little extra. It’s an hour earlier, before the lines and the people start filing in. “You can meet the drivers. It’s a little more personal. After an hour, the flood gates open. I want to say between 2,000 and 5,000 of our closest

family and friends and wild people get out on the floor and meet and greet and have some fun.” LeDuc said meeting fans can be emotional as well. He hears about cancer battles and engagements. “It’s so much fun,” he said. “I never know what I’m going to do. I sign merchandise and talk to kids. It’s a really, really special moment on the show.” Since LeDuc was in town last, he won two stadium tour championships in three years. “That was really, really a proud moment,” he said. “My kids and my wife got to be there in person for that. I’ve been racing off-road trucks in Mexico and across the desert. That’s been a lot of fun. “My kids started school. I did career day, talking to kids telling them they don’t have to get a regular job. If you have a dream, pursue it. You can probably make it happen.” LeDuc spends a lot of time with children, especially at hospitals. “If I have open time, I hate sitting still,” he said. “If I’m at home, I’ll do something good like visit kids in the hospital. Doing things like that keeps me from getting lazy.” This year is one of firsts for LeDuc. He’s finishing the season with his first show in Japan, for which he crated his truck and sent it on a shipping boat two months ago. He’s also traveling to Singapore in early December.

LeDuc’s career was a logical choice, considering his father is Curt LeDuc, a legendary off-road racer. LeDuc won his first competition in 1984 at age 5 when he raced his plastic Big Wheel tricycle to victory in front of thousands of fans during an exhibition at one of his father’s off-road races in Canada. In 1998, Todd started racing downhill mountain bikes and eventually won three California state championships. As a pro, he won two more and a national pro men’s downhill championship. His motorsports career began in 2005 when he started co-driving with his father in his full-size class 8 truck in desert races. Again, the LeDucs prevailed, this time in the Best in the Desert racing series. For his State Farm Stadium show, LeDuc promises his trademark moves. “I’m a total, crazy lunatic,” he said with a laugh. “I want to give fans a ‘wow’ moment like last year. “We did a big jump and fans left the show saying, ‘LeDuc is a nut.’ “I want people—even if I don’t win an event or place well during the show—to say, ‘Did you see what Todd did or Monster Energy did?’ If I don’t win, I want them leaving there with a lasting memory.”

Gila River Indian Community kids skate with Coyotes BY CATHERINE HATHAWAY

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

Energy buzzed through Gila River Arena as more than 80 children from the Gila River Indian Community entered the ice rink, many taking their first steps on National Hockey League ice. The children, ages 5 to 17, traveled more than an hour to the arena for a special skate party where they learned to skate on the home ice of the Arizona Coyotes. The half-day party was a huge success, thanks to a unique partnership between the Arizona Coyotes, Gila River Hotels & Casinos — Wild Horse Pass, Lone Butte, and Vee Quiva, and the Boys & Girls Club of the East Valley — Gila River branches. Working together, the three organizations provided transportation, skates and lunch. The Coyotes Hockey development team, Howler and Coyotes crew members were also on hand to guide the children on the ice. Since 2007, Gila River Hotels & Casinos and the Arizona Coyotes have worked together to create experiences for Boys & Girls Club members by hosting more than 20 hockey clinics, ice skating parties, and inviting the youth to numerous Kids Night Out games.

This gives the kids a chance to experience a new activity, learn about a professional hockey league and explore a different sport.”

‘Evil Dead’ musical brings AZ Sports Complex free song, dance and gore movie on the kids party BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Associate Editor

Ladies and gentlemen, start your chainsaws… “The Evil Dead” was an uber-lowbudget 1981 flick that was something like “Night of the Living Dead” meets the Three Stooges. As a writer, Sam Rami’s story of partying young adults who unleash evil forces at an isolated cabin was nothing new. But his aggressive camera style and slapstick action scenes, charged by a creepy-hilarious performance by the frantic Bruce Campbell, made this a cult classic. Campbell and Raimi followed up their unexpected hit (made for around $100,000, “Evil Dead’ grossed some $30 million) with “Evil Dead II” (1987) and “Army of Darkness” (1992). You might think the tortured Ash

Williams could rest there, but oh, no… Jumpcut to August 2003, wherein the back room of a Toronto dive bar called the Tranzac Club, “Evil Dead the Musical” made its debut. “Who’s laughing now?” Answer: Live audiences. Adding musical numbers to the campy horror-comedy was a recipe for success, as the show quickly became a local hit, then went on tour. With book and lyrics by George Reinblatt, “Evil Dead the Musical” aims to haunt Glendale over the coming weeks, cranking up the Brelby Theatre Company. “Evil Dead the Musical” opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 27, and plays through Oct. 13.

Live the solution and the problem will go away Have you ever been misdefined? Of course you have. Someone who didn’t like or understand you, for whatever the reason, painted an untrue picture of you to others. Since those others don’t know you, they often assume what they heard to be true. The result is others will make judgments about you based on sheer hearsay. Their opinion about you can go on for years in people’s minds with who knows what consequences. This happened to Jesus in yesterday’s world. It still does in today’s world. People can’t make accurate assessments on Jesus because others have muddied the water on who Jesus is, why He came, how He operates with others, and the like. Other opinions have created a false Jesus in many people’s minds and make decisions based upon those inaccuracies.

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

Please let me share with you a truer big picture of Jesus. I think most pastors and long-term Christians would agree with me. It’s not everything about Jesus but gives you the headlines on God, amazing agent of grace and truth. How do I know? I just watch Jesus in the scripture. Let me start. An amazing fact about the ministry of Jesus is He released people to be who they were created to be. He released their genius. In threeand-a-half short years, He turned His former “island of misfit toys” disciples’

into the greatest change agents the world has ever seen. He sent His leaders and followers into the world unencumbered. He set them free from the emotional and physical clutter that had them enslaved them for years. He kept it simple so everyone could understand. He didn’t disqualify them, even when they left Him near the end of His ministry on earth. He inspired and equipped people to face their “unfaceables” like fear, inadequacy, shame, unworthiness and their guilt-ridden past. It takes a special person to do that. But Jesus was up to the task. He understands there is a little bit of crazy in us, yet He didn’t judge us for that. Consider his disciples. That is quite a board of directors. The hated and despised IRS of that time and the Hell’s Angels of that time were on His team. Haven’t you ever heard of Matthew, the taxman, and John and James, the Sons of Thunder? Sounds like a motorcycle gang to me. Jesus made people feel welcome. He spread out the welcome mat out for prodigal sons and wounded Samaritans. Jesus went to heaven to prepare a place for people like that. And do you know what that means? There is a place for us, too. Remember the prodigal son? Talk about a welcome! “And when his father saw him, he ran to meet him.” Luke 15:20. In the same way, He shows us His excitement for our homecoming with Him. Jesus was sent by God to release us from the prisons of past guilt, present boredom and future anxiety. He wants us firing on all eight cylinders. He knows what will make us effective and happy. He wants to release our genius. He wants us to be free from the ghosts of the past and prepared for the opportunities of the future. Jesus always has that welcome mat out for anyone who is a Christ-follower. He leaves the lights on for us if we want to return home. All He ever tried to do is to put us in a position to succeed. That’s true yesterday, today and forever. Jesus came to earth with solutions to

problems. He found a need and met it. He came as a “solutionary.” He brought God’s love into their world. God’s love made ﬂesh changed everything. God’s love is greater and stronger than anything the IRS of that time or the Sons of Thunder could do. God’s love is stronger than anything guilt can do. When formerly lost people stop living the problem and start living the solution, they found their problems started to go away. The scriptures say it this way. “But, God being rich in mercy because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have seen saved) and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, in order that in the age to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:4-7. You and I are the “ages to come” in the verse. What Jesus did for them He can do for us, too! Jesus still goes to prepare a place for us, even if there is a little crazy in us. You know the verse. “For God so loved the world (us) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16. Jesus lived to be a “solutionary” and an example for others and many of the problems and bad definitions went away. There’s a lesson here for us when we are misdefined or lied about. Just like Jesus, stop worrying about the problems caused by others and start living the solutions. Be a “solutionary.” Live an exemplary life, live for others, live above the rumors and many problems will go away.

Peoria broadcasting program launches behind-camera stars BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

A fan at a Peoria Unified School District sporting event will likely see a group of students donning matching black shirts and toting cameras and other high-tech broadcasting gear around the field. The students hustling, just like a professional game crew, are not just there for fun. They are taking part in a full game broadcast streamed online for the public. The kids are part of the Peoria Student Broadcasting Network — or PSBN — a student-run broadcasting group spanning across all high schools in the district. Each school’s crew broadcasts the school’s sporting events, along with community education forums, graduations and other events of interest for PUSD students or families. Every broadcast can be found live,

create great projects, I love it,” Southwick said. District media relations specialist Kerri Straack said she has heard numerous compliments about the quality of students from a variety of sources. Several students attended a broadcasting summer camp at ASU’s Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication this year, and Straack heard PSBN students were amongst the stars shining brightest. “You can get into journalism or other programs in college and have it be a year or more before you’re even touching a camera or some of the equipment, and they’re out at the high school level using it right away, and it shows when they get those opportunities at their next level of education,” she said.

GUHSD NEWS BRIEFS BY GUHSD STAFF

GUHDS governing board 2020 National Merit semiﬁnalists

The Glendale Union High School District governing board recognized its two 2020 National Merit semifinalists at its Sept. 18 board meeting. This year’s semifinalists include Sunnyslope senior Alexis Hatch and Thunderbird senior Jessica Zylstra. The semifinalists attended a special recognition reception at the district office and received a certificate of achievement from the GUHSD governing board. National Merit semifinalists are selected every September from 1.6 million entrants across the United States. Out of the 50,000 students with the highest PSAT/NMSQT Selection Index scores, approximately 16,000 high academically performing high school students are notified that they have qualified as semifinalists. To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition. About 90% of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and about

al attention. A Special Olympics basketball game broadcast in 2018 was streamed for around 600,000 people worldwide, and a game-winning, buzzer-beating shot was streamed on a recent ESPN documentary chronicling the 50th anniversary of the Special Olympics. Kellis High senior Sabrina McNurdy, who was manning the camera for the shot, said that moment is just one of her many fantastic experiences with PSBN, which she never could have imagined happening at such a young age. “Getting that shot on the camera up in the stands, seeing it playing on ESPN, and seeing all the reactions from the crowd and everybody around there, I couldn’t believe it,” she said. PSBN students have also received awards for their high-quality work. Kellis alone garnered seven nominations for the Rocky Mountain Emmy Student Production Awards, with several more coming from other Peoria schools. Of the 11 high school awards given out at the 2019 ceremony, three came from PSBN. Maci Danowski of Kellis High won the award for best High School Public Service, Michelle Mena of Kellis won

half of the finalists will win a National Merit Scholarship, earning the prestigious Merit Scholar title. Winners can receive one of three different types of National Merit Scholarships including the $2,500 National Merit Scholarship, corporate-sponsored scholarship and college-sponsored scholarship. To learn more GUHSD news, visit @ guhsdaz on Facebook. the award for High School Animation / Graphics / Special Effects, and Steven Nguyen of Centennial High won High School Student Arts and Entertainment / Cultural Affairs. Southwick said the awards were validating for the effort his kids put in. “I couldn’t be more proud of them, and all the people who did great stuff that was nominated,” he said. Even students without aspirations of studying media or communications in the future can take lessons away from the program and bring into their future careers. Before football games, students are required to print rosters, talk to coaches about the players they will be mentioning most in broadcasts and conduct interviews and other game-preparation materials. The sociability and confidence building, partnered with the technical computer skills they learn, will serve them well for whatever career choices they make in the future. And they have recorded memories to look back on along the way. “My kids have the ability to talk to adults, and get really solid information. That’s something that they, even if they don’t end up in broadcasting, will be able to use the rest of their lives,” Southwick said.

The Consultant will provide recommendations to improve the existing streetlighting services, which may also include streetlighting design. The contract shall be for an initial period of two (2) years, with the option for the city to extend the term an additional two (2) years, renewable on an annual basis. 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. A number of the City’s existing streetlights have been converted from High Pressure Sodium (HPS) to Light Emitting Diode (LED) luminaires, but there are still over 2,100 streetlights that need to be converted to LED. 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. PRE-SUBMITTAL CONFERENCE A pre-submittal conference will be held on Wednesday, October 1, 2019, at 10:00 a.m., at Glendale Municipal City Hall, 5850 W. Glendale Avenue, 2nd floor, Conference Room 2-A. At this meeting, staff will discuss the scope of work, general contract issues and respond to questions from the attendees. Because City staff may not have time to respond to individual inquiries regarding the scope outside of this pre-submittal conference, it is recommended that interested firms send a representative to the pre-submittal conference.

Tips for Having a Great Garage Sale! 1. Sort through your closets, cupboards and garage for items to sell. 2. Partner up with a neighbor or friend. This is helpful to give each other breaks during the day. 3. Advertise your sale — ask us for our Yard Sale Special! 4. In your ad include the type of sale, (e.g., Yard Sale, Multi-Family Sale), date, time, address/cross streets, and be specific on prices for high dollar items. Popular items you can include: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, yard equipment, designer/ children’s clothes and shoes, craft items, antiques, unique items and collectibles/ collections. 5. Place signs on major cross streets and on the corners leading into your neighborhood. Just a fat, solid black arrow on colorful poster board works fine. 6. Price your items. If having a Multi-Family sale, each family should have a different colored price tag. You can do a $1 table, $5 table, etc., to save time. 7. Money. Be prepared with change, including coins. Do not accept checks. Cash only! 8. Have electricity available to test items. 9. Be safe. Do not let anyone into your home. Take your phone outside with you Have an extra person relieve you occasionally. 10. If it’s warm, offer cold bottled water for sale to cool off your customers! Happy customers buy things! 11. After the sale, remove your signs and donate leftover items to a local charity.
