Glendale public library celebrates 100 years

BY ADEN SCHULZE-MILLER Glendale Star Staff Writer

This

year, the city of Glendale’s public library department turned 100 years old. To coincide with that, a celebration of the centennial anniversary filled with diverse music and dancing was recently held at the Main Library.

Activities included live performances from cowboy Gary Sprague, bluegrass band Cisco and the Racecars, and the Ballet Folklorico Esperanza dance group. A library scavenger hunt and the Bookmans Phoenix Musical Instrument Petting Zoo were also available to guests during the event.

The library’s chief librarian, Michael Beck, said that the event was a success,

with everything going to plan and a recorded turnout of 468 attendees.

Beck said the library positions itself as a “key community resource” and that it want-

“Having almost 500 people attend our event I feel was a testament to us being successful and our programs being indicative of what our residents were wanting to see,” Beck said.

Huggins named development services director

BY JORDAN ROGERS

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Earlyon in Randy Huggins’ career, he never would have seen himself becoming the development services director for the city of Glendale.

After learning more about the city’s ins and outs, the idea eventually grew on him. He was named to the title back in late July.

“I would never say that I planned on being the development services director at that time, because really, as a new person in the city, I didn’t know about it,” Huggins said. “But as I learned more about the city, I thought I really wanted to stick with the city and grow in the city.”

In his new role, Huggins will over-

see the leadership and management of the development services department. This department includes planning, zoning and building safety. It is the chief regulatory agency for the city, managing investment and growth. It ensures the city’s buildings and homes meet the expectations of residents.

“Randy has over 25 years of experience in the development industry’s public and private sectors,” City Manager Kevin Phelps said. “He understands that successful economic development requires a team approach. He is well prepared to continue the accelerated growth and prosperity Glendale has experienced over the last

several years.”

Huggins spent 10 years working as a residential general contractor before joining Glendale’s Development Services Department in 2007 to help the city welcome and host Super Bowl XLII and Super Bowl XLIX. After eight years of gaining a deep understanding of everything from zoning to permits and inspections, he transitioned into Glendale’s Office of Economic Development. As an economic development officer, he oversaw the development of infrastructure and private development along the Loop 303 corridor.

Having been working with and in Glendale since 2007, Huggins acknowledges his tenure working in or for the city. He has never sought to be elsewhere, nor does he plan to, because the way the city runs fits his strengths.

“Since I’ve been here, I’ve been learning the inner workings,” Huggins said. “I’ve found it to be super fascinating and really a value to the community, which is my whole goal — I want to be of value to the place that I work and

especially in my community.”

For Huggins, getting to work in positions that gave him both inside and outside perspectives of how the city operates will serve him well.

“Literally every patio, apartment building, new home event, major event, anything that ever went on commercial, all the plans for that came to our small team, and we routed it out to all the different departments in the cities and actually permitted it,” Huggins said. “So, I got to know the city from an angle that most people don’t, which is from the outside market, and then from really deep into the city center of development.”

“I feel like, if you were to look at my history, every angle of development I’ve been a part of, that’s why I think this position just ideally suits the skills that I have in building safety, inspection, plan review, and annexation and zoning,” he added.

Of the areas of focus he has been tasked with overseeing, zoning specifically is something he is excited about. He said the new zoning ordinance, which has not been updated since

1993, is being rewritten now and he is looking forward to its completion.

“The zoning ordinance is what looks ahead at the city as a whole and determines how zoning standards and things are going to be applied to buildings. Whether they’re commercial, industrial, residential, retail, it looks at all that and determines what is the actual look of the city in the future,” Huggins said.

The new zoning ordinance cannot be done without public participation, however. Huggins is hoping for the public to come out to City Council Workshops and Planning Commission Meetings to give its input.

Glendale City Council will “have their final meeting” for the new zoning ordinance in March 2023.

“What we need is for the public to participate and other stakeholders to come in and say, you know, this is what we see now we want to protect what we have; we want to protect our environment and make sure that the city looks nice, but we also want to be prepared for future growth and what those new buildings might look like,” Huggins said.

In the end, if Huggins had to pick one thing that he is most looking forward to about the new role, he said that would be working with all the departments and citizens to help build the city to its height.

“The city, originally, was more of a suburb,” he said. “If you look at us now, we’ve converted to more of a mature city where our land is no longer available. So, we’re looking at ways to use adaptive, reuse, use infill, and especially along our freeways create more heights and more density so that we can still attract a lot of signature hospitality, office, retail and employment, but also provide the houses for people to live in so that they live and work in the same community.

“All these subjects, they may sound to other people, like not as exciting, but to me, they’re super exciting.”

Aspart of the “Babies with Books” read-a-thon to encourage family reading and support NICU infants and families, nurses, families and hospital staff have been reading to babies at the Abrazo Arrowhead Campus’ Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Abrazo Arrowhead nurses have been handing out children’s books to families and encouraging reading while they are in the hospital. Reading from birth onward helps advance brain development, language skills, vocabulary, listening and memory skills.

“September is NICU Awareness Month,” said Ramya Kumar, developmental coordinator at the Abrazo Arrowhead NICU. “This is one of the activities that we are participating in, as reading to babies promotes brain development and provides an important opportunity for families to bond with their babies.”

Studies show that preterm infants who are not exposed to language while in the NICU have lower language performance at age 2. Reading to babies helps build language, literacy and social-emotional skills at a critical time in a child’s development.

“These are especially important activities for babies with prolonged hospitalizations. Anyone can read to the babies,” Kumar said. “This has engaged nursing students, medical team members, our rehab team and others to participate in the read-a-thon.”

According to reports, NICU babies can be at a high risk of poor neurodevelopmental outcomes due to prematurity, critical illness, prolonged hospitalization, low socioeconomic status, and family emotional and economic stressors associated with hospitalization in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

For Kumar, providing parents and other caregivers books and encouraging them to read with infants in the NICU provides an important route for increasing infants’ speech and language interactions and supports bonding and family involvement with their infants’ care in the NICU.

“It’s not only good for the babies and parents, it helps build morale in the NICU and labor and delivery units,” Kumar said. “The read-a-thon offers opportunities to participate in initiatives through the hospital’s clinical ladder and volunteer programs, and we have staff donating items to the NICU for future events. Many families like to also do a book drive on their former NICU baby’s birthday.”

Serving Glendale and the Northwest Valley since 1988, Abrazo Arrowhead Campus is a destination for maternity care. More than 3,500 babies are born annually at Abrazo Arrowhead Campus, which offers a Level IIIA NICU for high-risk patients and high order multiple births.

ed the special anniversary programming to represent said community and its history.

“In celebrating the library being 100 years as a city department, we wanted to have programs that were diverse and representative of Glendale’s history,” he said.

The Glendale Public Library develops its programming to meet educational and informational needs, with the library pursuing its overall mission to promote literacy. In an effort to be inclu-

sive of all city residents, Beck said that having the programming be friendly for all ages has been a concerted effort.

While the Glendale Public Library became a city department in 1922, its long and storied history extends decades prior to its integration with the city.

In 1895, Stanford graduate Victor Messinger came to Glendale, where he made around 400 of his books accessible to the public in the form of a small library as a part of the lumber company he managed.

As the library grew through commu-

nity support, it changed locations multiple times, with Messinger volunteering as a part-time librarian while it structurally remained a part of the lumber company.

The Glendale Public Library Association was formed in 1898, and from that point on, the library was housed in various locations with no set-in-stone home. In 1917, the library settled in a small building located in Murphy Park.

A new and larger library building would later be built in 1938 and again in 1971, where it was named after veteran librarian Velma Teague, who died in 1969. The Main Library was constructed in 1987 due to the expansion of the city.

The Foothills Library would be built in 1999 to accommodate Glendale’s outward growth. Most recently introduced to the public was the Heroes Regional Park Library, which opened in 2019.

The Arizona Memory Project, a part of the State of Arizona Research Library, maintains multiple primary historical records from donors regarding the Glendale Public Library, including digital uploads of photographs and writ-

ten documents.

Ryan Ehrfurth, a digital history and maps librarian for the Arizona Memory Project, said the agency works to make historic records like these available to the needs of the public.

“Broadly, it’s really important to be able to use those historical documents to be able to track change over time,” Ehrfurth said.

Ehrfurth said that the agency attempts to answer preservation questions as to how these primary sources are going to be available to consumers “in the colloquial ‘tomorrow,’” as years pass.

The library will also be featuring programming focused on the history of libraries nationally in celebration of the anniversary. The programs will be suited for adults, teenagers and young children in the community.

“We’ll have a good buildup of that, an offering slated for all the way up to May of next year,” Beck said regarding the future programs.

Tempe incidents illustrate anti-cop bias

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

Tworecent news stories illustrate how wretched it is to serve as a police officer in the 21st century, a time of rampant negativity, social media virality and naked hostility toward law enforcement.

Both stories occurred in Tempe, along Town Lake. Both involve men who entered that lake of their own accord.

One story ended in tragedy. The other ended in a save. You can guess which one you likely never heard about.

First, a disclaimer. By day, I am a public relations consultant. Among my clients: the Tempe Officers Association. I represent a number of other public safety organizations, so I am absolutely biased in favor of the cops.

With that said, my clients have not paid me to write this. I’m doing so because I believe it needs to be said.

The tragedy centers on Sean Bickings, 34, a longtime presence in Tempe nicknamed “Madrox.” Bickings by all accounts was a “big teddy bear,” joking, friendly, even as he and his wife

struggled to find shelter on a consistent basis.

On May 28, Tempe police received a 911 call reporting a disturbance between the couple. Body camera footage shows a long conversation between Bickings, his wife and the officers. Then Bickings decides to climb over a 4-foot fence and enter Town Lake.

One of the officers tells Bickings, “OK, I’m not jumping in after you.” Bickings is encouraged to swim to safety, but he can’t. He disappears beneath the water, gone.

What I know in my heart is that no person on earth wanted this story so awfully, including the officers on

scene.

I also know that the cops followed their training, which did not include water rescue, and city policy, which was not to enter the lake, but instead to get the Tempe police boat (check) and summon Tempe Fire (check).

Even so, the story became a national sensation, covered by the networks and splashed across social media, with many commenters noting that Bickings was Black and accusing the cops of racism.

I’m a realist, a guy who has spent 30 years covering news professionally. I understand why this story got the cov-

CBS closed its ubiquitous eye with Biden interview

BY J.D. HAYWORTH Glendale Star Columnist

Fewcorporate logos have proven as iconic or enduring as the CBS eye, which will turn 71 this October.

From its genesis in TV’s monochromatic age, the eye has remained. It was colorized, as was most of television by the mid- to late-1960s, and eventually “universalized” — adopted by all the corporate divisions of CBS, though well-modulated grumbling was heard from the studios of CBS Radio.

But the real static came as CBS continued to grow in the 1970s, commensurate with the growth of television’s influence.

Author Robert Metz wrote “CBS: Reflections in a Bloodshot Eye,” a noholds-barred “unofficial” history of the communications colossus in 1975. He described CBS “a restless 24-hour-aday mover and shaker of the national consciousness, irritating and pleasing, enlightening and vulgarizing by turns.”

While most Americans feel right at home with both computer screens and TV screens in residence, estimates for this year put the number of “television households” in excess of 122 million. Any way you look at it, that adds up to a lot of eyes still gazing at the familiar “oneeyed monster.”

But as channel choices have expanded well beyond the three major commercial networks, ratings have contracted for those “legacy telecasters.”

Gone are the astronomical numbers and the high regard Cronkite enjoyed during his nearly two decades as anchor of the “CBS Evening News.”

Like Johnny Carson, his contemporary counterpart in another type of TV on another network, “Uncle Walter’s” instincts to foster a perception of fairness were comparable to the “King of Late Night’s” efforts to ensure that he was an “equal opportunity comic,” making

politicians of both parties the target of his topical humor.

Both Cronkite and Carson leaned left politically, but only after leaving their highly rated, highly compensated positions as “television stars” did they champion political causes and advocate for their favorite candidates.

Four decades have passed since Cronkite said “that’s the way it is,” for the last time, and six men and three women have ascended to the role of anchor (or co-anchor) of the “CBS Evening News.”

While the job is still considered as one of the most prestigious in television news, Scott Pelley, who manned the anchor desk for six years, returned full time to his role as a reporter on “60 Minutes,” and it is Pelley who embodies the new trend of so-called “advocacy journalism.”

Perhaps that’s why Pelley was picked to interview Joe Biden — appearing on “60 Minutes” for the first time since he moved into the White House — as the broadcast began its 55th season.

Pelley said the interview would “ignite a few controversies,” and that’s true — but not the portions Scott intended. Certainly, Pelley asked about important subjects — inflation, Ukraine, China and COVID-19 among them — and did so with a “gentle touch.” His follow-ups were perfunctory; no real challenge was offered to any of Joe’s more “factually challenged” utterances.

Remarkably, but not unexpectedly, Pelley proffered a defense and endorsement of Biden, described as a theory: “Joe Biden is among the longest-serving politicians in Washington. If there is less bounce in the step than there once was, if the words don’t flow like they used to, maybe there’s something to be said for knowhow — five decades on the Hill and in the Oval.”

Oh. So being a senile Washington “lifer” is an asset for leadership?

Pelley’s voice quivered with emotion and affection, as he said to Biden, “You were elected to the Senate in 1972. You

erage and commentary it did.

Still, I wish the hubbub had also in cluded some vital context — about po lice policy, training, and the fact that the officers had not been provided with equipment to save potential drowning victims.

The city has changed all of that in the past few weeks, providing training and throw bags to officers. That’s a good thing, as the events of Sept. 20 prove.

This story didn’t go national, nor did it make a ripple on Twitter or TikTok. It began as an indecent exposure call. Police arrived and found a naked man in the lake. Officers threw him a water rescue device multiple times, but he re fused to grab it.

“He was pulled into the police boat without incident and turned over to (Tempe Fire),” KTAR radio reported. “He was transported to a hospital for

evaluation.”

All told, three news outlets covered this story, a few hundred words total.

Again, I’m a realist. News involves conflict, mayhem and gotcha moments. Happy endings aren’t the stuff of head lines and clicks.

But I wonder how the rest of us would feel working in a job where to do good is to be invisible while to make a mistake is to be damned? A job where you’re expected to risk your life for people who despise you, and where you’d best be perfect, because key board warriors are lying in wait to pass judgment.

That’s policing in 2022. I mourn that fact just as I feel for the loved ones of Sean Bickings. Everyone loses in sto ries like this.

“And I think many Americans feel that that no longer happens and, in fact, may be impossible now.”

Apparently, it was impossible to in clude any discussion of Joe’s Phila delphia speech, where Biden attacked “Donald Trump and the MAGA Re

publicans” as “threats to our Repub lic.” Viewers had to seek that out on line at “60 Minutes Overtime.”

Those calling the shots at the CBS eye wanted fewer eyes to see that.

Just one question: Why?

J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10, Phoenix, from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 19952007.

Goodbye,

ma’am. We will miss you. With 70 years of service, a sta bilizing force in an ever-chang ing world, you defined an era. It was an ending that we all knew was coming, and still, we are bereft.

For many in Great Britain, it is hard to imagine life without Her Majesty at the helm, a woman who graced the world stage starting in World War II. In frequent ly troubled times, her dignified presence gave confidence to face the future. Her legacy is one of duty and service through out her entire life. She went to 21,000 offi cial engagements and visited 100 countries during her reign.

As a young girl, she gave radio broad casts to raise the morale of British chil dren, encouraging them through the hor rors of World War II. She insisted on doing her part, and in 1945 joined the war effort, trained as a truck driver and mechanic. Reeling from post-war austerity, Elizabeth used ration coupons and a 200-coupon supplement from the government to pay for her wedding dress for her 1947 nup tials to Philip. She ascended to the throne in 1952 upon the death of her father. And in that moment, a young, beautiful woman endeared herself to the world.

My mother was English, and I recall that if I ever slacked off doing my chores, she would yell at me, “If Queen Elizabeth doesn’t shirk her duties, why do you?” My grandmother sent Elizabeth (before she be came queen) nylon stockings in 1947, as did hundreds of women, since stockings were in very limited supply due to clothes rationing. My great-aunt May resided in England and lived to be 100 years old.

Elizabethan era has ended, but stay calm were 29 years old. And in those days, it seemed the parties worked together to move the country forward.

Aunt May claimed she lived that long so that she would get a birthday card from Her Majesty. And she did.

The queen became the voice of comfort, even when the world seemed to be going mad. Her televised address on the coronavirus, watched by tens of millions, was a combination of hope and grandmotherly love. She acknowledged the grief and hardships that we were all were facing, with the assurance that “better days will return, and we will meet again.”

Her Majesty had a sense of humor, spot lighted by her stunt with James Bond for the Olympics, her lighthearted skit with Paddington Bear for her Jubilee, poking fun at what she might carry in her lit tle black purse. The queen was walking around the countryside in Scotland, in a long coat and scarf tightly knotted under her chin.

A tourist approached and asked the queen if she had ever seen Queen Eliza beth, because “she has a place close by.” The queen chuckled and pointed to her plainclothes security man and replied, “I haven’t, but he has.”

The world witnessed an outpouring of emotions at the state funeral. Images of corgis standing by Buckingham Palace, looking for their queen who will not re turn, the haunting sounds of the pipers, seas of black-clad mourners, the long walk of a new king, a grieving family and the hundreds of thousands of Brits lining the streets to say goodbye.

The Elizabethan era has ended. We must keep calm and carry on.

Cardinals rank low among NFL’s most valuable franchises

BY DERRIAN CARTER Cronkite News

TheArizona Cardinals’ placement in the Forbes annual NFL team value list mirrored the roller coaster of an offseason the franchise endured.

The offseason featured contract extensions for general manager Steve Keim and coach Kliff Kingsbury, a DeAndre Hopkins suspension, trading for wide receiver Marquise Brown, and quarterback Kyler Murray’s contract extension saga.

Amid the twists and turns, the Cardinals’ value increased to $3.27 billion, a 23% increase from last year that made it the 47th most valuable sports team in the world, and the team generated $467 million in revenue in the 2021 season.

Yet, the Cardinals dropped to No. 30 from No. 27 on the NFL team value list despite Arizona having eight Fortune 500 companies, including Freeport-McMoRan, Avnet and Carvana. In addition, the team improved each season since drafting Murray in 2019, while Phoenix, the fifth-largest city in the United States, is ranked 11th in overall television markets.

“The biggest factor that kind of strikes me with them being ranked so low is the fact that they’re in the Phoe-

nix (designated market area),” said Arizona State University adjunct professor Todd Merkow, who has lived in Arizona for more than 20 years and has over 20 years of executive experience.

“When you do a comparison and look at the other ones that are at the bottom, Buffalo and Jacksonville, those are all small-market teams. They’re not large markets. So, honestly, I think some of it is defined unfairly because there’s clearly a ton of value here in the marketplace.”

Most of Arizona’s value came from revenue shared among NFL franchises, because all 32 teams equally share over 70% of football-related revenue. Market size (10.2%), stadium (7.6%) and brand (4.9%) accounted for the remaining value, and the Cardinals ranked 25th in brand, 29th in market, and 30th in sport and stadium.

“The way the Cardinals are situated with their lease, they don’t have much of an opportunity to (increase stadium revenue) in terms of non-NFL events, ticket pricing and demand for premium seating,” Forbes writer Mike Ozanian said. “They are positioned in the bottom quartile of the NFL, so that’s why we value them where we do.”

The Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority owns State Farm Stadium, and ASM Global operates the 63,400-ca-

pacity venue, which limits how aggressively the Cardinals can pursue nonfootball-related deals. In comparison, the Dallas Cowboys, who operate AT&T Stadium through their owner Jerry Jones, can land a variety of sponsorship deals.

The Cardinals’ major sponsorships come from State Farm, University of Phoenix, Papa John’s, Hyundai, Gila River Casino, Desert Financial Credit Union, Anheuser-Busch InBev and BetMGM. Arizona signed an 18year stadium naming rights deal with State Farm in 2018 for an undisclosed amount and a 15-year partnership in 2019 with Gila River Hotels & Casinos. Its previous stadium deal in 2006 with the University of Phoenix was worth $154.5 million.

Last season, the Cardinals generated $57 million in ticket sales and ranked No. 24 in fan attendance, averaging 62,622 fans per game. It was a 2.1% increase from the last time NFL stadiums had full-capacity crowds in 2019, when Arizona ranked 27th. In the last 10 years, Arizona has had the 15th best record in the NFL at 81-78-2.

“Even going back to the ’90s, (the Phoenix designated market area) has always been considered a football town,” Merkow said. “Now, the market loves winning, and every one of these franchises have experienced significant swings and attention by the fans because of winning, but it is a football town.”

To prepare for the 2023 Super Bowl, State Farm Stadium has undergone over $100 million in renovations. Changes include stadium club area and loft renovations, maintaining quality in the stadium and revising a parking lot, pedestrian tunnel, bridge and security structures. However, hosting the Super Bowl doesn’t guarantee a team’s growth in value.

“Teams don’t make money from having a Super Bowl,” Ozanian said.

“That’s not going to really help the Cardinals, but if (they) improve (their) luxury suites and lease them out at higher prices, that will help (them).”

Still, Arizona can increase its valuation this season when HBO features the team on its in-season series of “Hard Knocks.”

“Being in the media and being on something like (‘Hard Knocks in Season: The Arizona Cardinals’), while it’s probably annoying for the players and coaches, (it) can be a big boost to a brand if they’re presented properly, and more people understand the team and become more attracted to the athletes and their backstories,” said Patrick Walsh, an associate professor of sport management at Syracuse University.

Despite the low ranking amongst their peers, the Cardinals’ value continues to increase year over year like the rest of the NFL.

“Even if the Cardinals are considered ‘low’ on this list from a financial value perspective, if you look overall from a team value perspective across all sports, they’re still going to be in the top 50 of the most valuable sports teams worldwide because the NFL itself is such a powerful brand and franchise values have grown so significantly,” Walsh said.

A team’s valuation does not mean that is its true value. For example, Forbes valued the Denver Broncos at $3.75 billion in 2021, but Walmart heir Rob Walton purchased the franchise in June for $4.65 billion.

“Valuation only means anything on realization, and we just had a realization with the Denver Broncos,” Merkow said. “What’s relevant is what’s real. If the Bidwill family were ever to sell that team, then we would know what the real value is because the market will have spoken.”

Mountain Ridge’s Madoski looks to impress recruiters

BY CALEB JONES Glendale Star Staff Writer

MountainRidge High School senior defensive lineman

Christian Madoski is looking to take the next step in his football career — playing Division I football.

Christian faces a unique challenge in his recruitment process, however, as he is currently a 17-year-old senior. While the talent may be there, the interest has not necessarily matched it.

“It’s been a slow-moving process,” Christian said.

Despite the loitered start to Christian’s recruitment, Mountain Ridge head coach, and Christian’s father, Doug Madoski, said Christian has the ability to be a Division I-level player.

“For me, it has been kind of unique,” Doug said. “Obviously wearing two hats, as his father and coach … it became pretty obvious that Christian and his development path show that he has the ability to play at a much higher level.”

Aside from the age factor, being undersized has potentially been another reason as to why Christian’s recruitment has been slowed, but Doug shared that despite those things, his son still has the talent and skills to perform at a high level.

For Doug, Christian’s size has actually allowed him to develop other aspects of his game. He said that what

Christian has lacked in size he more than makes up for in technique and execution.

To overcome the obstacles set in front of him, Christian always finds himself hard at work. Throughout his football career, he has focused on getting stronger.

“I would work out two or three times a day, eat a bunch and put on weight,” Christian said.

Doug himself has experience playing at the Division I level. After spending two years at a community college, he

transferred to Utah State University, where he would finish out his collegiate career.

With a lifetime of experience and lessons in the game of football, he has been passing those lessons he learned down to Christian.

“The single best bet you can make in life is on you,” Doug said. “Coaches can measure all kinds of intangibles about you, but they can’t measure heart.”

Doug believes that once Christian inevitably ends up putting on some more

weight, he will have the physical attributes to go along with his high-level technical abilities. This should yield performance at an even higher level.

Both coach Doug and Christian believe that a big year is in store for the defensive lineman. After all, Christian was named to the All-Region team at defensive lineman a season ago.

“Coming out of my junior season, I’d seen what I was capable of being able to do on film, and that only fueled me to go harder to get ready for my senior season,” Christian said.

Personal progress requires you to discover a bridge

Here’s a short story today for your consideration and application.

One day, a biologist observed an ant carrying a piece of straw, which seemed to be an enormous burden for it. The ant came to a crack in the earth that was too wide for it to cross. The ant stood for a time as though pondering the situation. Then the ant put the straw across the crack and walked across it as a span. “What a lesson for us!” the impressed biologist said. “The burden can become the bridge for progress.”

Years ago, while visiting a high school friend at his company’s warehouse, I noticed one of his employees wearing a shirt with the words “The Power of Calm” printed on it. I started thinking about this concept, the power of calm. So, here are some thoughts on when calm thinking and living could direct us to the best action. Which would you rather embrace, the calmness of a plan of attack or the chaos of a panic attack?

There is power in remaining calm, especially when the situation requires it. The ability to find “calm in the chaos” upgrades your life. In chaotic times, we don’t need to control our impulsive thoughts. Instead, we need to stop letting impulsive thoughts control us. Here’s an example of the power of calm.

There were two men shipwrecked on an island. One started screaming and yelling. “We’re going to die! We’re going to die! There’s no food. There’s no water! We’re going to die!” The second man was propped up against a

palm tree, so calm it drove the first man crazy. “Don’t you understand? We’re shipwrecked on an island. No food. No water. We’re going to die!” The second man replied, “You don’t understand. I make $100,000 a week.”

The first man looked at him quite dumbfounded and asked, “What difference does that make? We’re on an island with no food and no water. We’re going to die!” The second man answered, “You just don’t get it. I make $100,000 a week and tithe on those $100,000 a week. My pastor will find me!” That’s real calm in the chaos.

There is a cost in losing your calm and cool. Moses couldn’t cross into the Promised Land because of losing his calm when the people of Israel were being, dare I say, the people of Israel. Awkward! Look at Peter and Jesus on the night Jesus was betrayed. Peter had a panic attack and cut off the soldier’s

ear. Jesus had a plan of attack and calmly healed the soldier’s ear, good as new, amid the chaos of a betrayal.

The story of the prodigal son shows us the contrast between the power of impulse and the power of calm. The prodigal son wanted his inheritance before he died. He was an instant person, wanting instant things instantly. The father gave the son his inheritance. Soon, the son was living in squalor and chaos. His money was gone, his identity shattered, his friends abandoned him, and he lived on a diet of leftover pig fodder. Where was his father? He was sitting on the porch of his house waiting for him. The father discovered calm in the chaos.

His father missed him but possessed hope the son would come back. The prodigal’s father had more faith in his son than the son had in his father. That’s not to say the father wasn’t concerned. But the father would not let his thoughts control him as his son did. Perhaps the father was like that saying by Michael Caine: “Be like a duck, calm of the surface but peddling like the dickens underneath.”

Jesus calmed storms on the outside of people, and He calms storms inside

people, too. It takes real God power to calm both.

Here are some “calm in the chaos” thoughts for you. Brené Brown says, “I can always tell about the health of a culture of an organization by how much gossiping is happening.” Karen Salmansohn states, “When you can’t control what’s happening, challenge yourself to control the way you respond to what’s happening. That’s where true power is.” David Allen says, “Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind.” One more quote on calm by Mason Cooley for you: “Romance is tempestuous. Love is calm.”

Calm down the nonstop chatter in your head. God has a plan of attack, while we generally have a panic attack. Train your mind to act intellectually, not emotionally react. A calm mind begets clear thinking. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and count to three. Someone out there in “reading land” needed this article today.

Remember, God’s not in the strong wind, earthquake or fire. Instead, God most often is in the sound of a gentle breeze. 1 Kings 19:11-2. In other words, God whispers because God is close — and calm. And trusting God is a real bridge over troubled waters for personal progress.

BY SUMMER AGUIRRE Glendale Star Staff Writer

Filmand TV students in the Peoria Unified School District have received nominations in several categories for the 2022 National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Student Production Awards.

Operated by the Emmy Awards, the organization’s Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter has two student nominees hailing from Cactus High School, one from both Centennial and Ironwood, and nine each from Liberty and Sunrise Mountain high schools. The district’s media teachers and students expressed pride in their film and TV programs and the recognition they have received.

“I’m so excited and so proud of all

my students,” Cactus High School media teacher Chris Contreras said. “I’m so proud of the work they did last year and just the improvements, since I’ve been here, year by year. I’m excited to see what jobs they get and where they

nominated

go in the future.”

Two of Contreras’ students, junior Tessika Davis and sophomore Abigail Othman, highlighted the nominations as significant accomplishments for their small team. They noted teamwork as a key factor to their success.

“It’s a really great environment,” Othman said. “One of us wins, we all win. We all help each other out, so it’s not just one person working on a video. Everybody’s just flipping the switch and helping out and putting in their hands.”

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) promotes excellence by spotlighting high school student work in news, craft and programming categories. The National Student Production Awards acknowledges exceptional achievement in video production.

Students from Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and El Centro, California, are eligible to participate through teacher nominations. Each educator can enter up to 15 individuals.

According to Centennial High School media teacher Bryce Budoff, the Peoria district has been a trailblazer for film and TV programs in the area, with a number of its schools having developed robust programs.

“A lot of people don’t know about the film and TV program,” Contreras said. “The fact that we’re getting nominations and, hopefully, getting an award, it just showcases to everybody what good programs in film and TV are here in the district and how good they actually are.”

The Peoria Student Broadcasting Network (PSBN) provides interns or students in film or TV programs the opportunity to learn the fundamentals

of working in the film and TV and broadcasting industry while working in environments with modern technology, equipment and Adobe Suite software.

PSBN’s three courses include introductory and advanced courses for film and TV, beginning with the basics of production before proceeding to producing daily live broadcasts and content for their school. The program concludes with student interns producing an array of live events, such as broadcasting sports, performing arts, commercials, magazine shows and student life entertainment.

Through PSBN, students can also expand their résumés and prepare for post-high school success by obtaining their Adobe Certified Associate Certification.

“I’ve had a number of students that come into this class not even thinking that’s what they want to do,” Contreras said. “They get into the software, they get into editing, they get into everything and then they realize this is what they want to do in life — which is a cool experience for me. It’s cool to see kids lean towards that after teaching them everything.”

Both Contreras and Budoff hope that their students walk away with the knowledge and ability to create films from the planning process through editing, putting them in the position to quickly obtain jobs.

“If they continue to love doing it, then pretty soon you’ll be making money doing something you never thought you’d ever be making, doing your dream job,” Budoff said. “This is the time everyone’s making content, so this is the time to do that.”

Winners for the 2022 National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Student Production Awards will be announced at the NATAS Rocky Mountain Southwest Chapter Awards Ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 1.
