Glendale launches veterans court BY MADISON PERALES Glendale Star Staff Writer

The city of Glendale has launched its veterans court to provide the necessary programs to assist former military members who have committed crimes. Mayor Jerry Weiers said he was excited about the Oct. 1 unveiling and praised one of his newer judges. “After becoming the mayor of Glendale, I worked hard for years to get this project started,” Weiers said. “I am so proud that our new presiding judge understands the importance of the veterans court and is fi-

nally making this dream happen.” When people in the military come home from serving for the United States, most of them are changed. A study from NCBI shows that out of 60,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans, 13.5% of them have PTSD. Veterans who have been charged with a crime will be screened at the court for eligibility into the program. “The screening is a two-part process,” Glendale’s City Court Presiding Judge Nicholas DiPiazza said. “There will be a screening by the city prosecutor.” This includes looking at the convicted

person’s case, the charges and the defendant’s record. “The second part of the screening will involve the Veterans Administration confirming that the individual is, in fact, a U.S. service member,” DiPiazza said. If the person meets the requirements, they can begin the process. The court offers several programs depending on the veteran’s needs. They have treatments that can address problems like substance abuse, anger management and violence. SEE COURT PAGE 3

Police to use drones for air support BY MADISON PERALES

NEWS...............7

October 7, 2021

The Glendale Police Department is providing its officers and residents with an added layer of protection with air support from drones for dispatch work. “We’ve always had a need for air support,” said Colby Brant, Glendale Police Department’s assistant chief. “The only issue for us is that we don’t have a helicopter.” The police department partnered with Vector Solutions, which provides its materials and training. The department will use drones for 911 calls and other emergency calls for service such as crimes in progress, fires, vehicle crashes and other public safety concerns. Drones will also be utilized for criminal

investigations to assist in the reconstruction of crime scenes. As for traffic collisions, drones are equipped with precision measuring/mapping software along with the ability to obtain photographs from the air. All of this helps the investigator during the reconstruction process, Brant said. “In some cases, it’s dropping our time on scene, about half,” Brant said. “It gets people moving back on the roadways a lot quicker.” The other benefit to having these drones is they come in handy when trying to find a specific person. “A couple of weeks ago, we had two suspects inside a large industrial yard. We knew we had them contained SEE DRONES PAGE 4

“If someone successfully completes the program that they’ve been identified for, they could get a reduced sentence or some other accommodation with respect to their case,” DiPiazza said. While this court has just launched, Glendale has bigger plans in mind for the veterans court program. “Ultimately the vision is to make this the West Valley regional veterans support that will serve the entire West Valley,” DiPiazza said. Once the court is settled and has some cases under its belt, the plan is to have other West Valley and Northwest Valley veterans attend this court. “We’ll be able to enter into agreements with the various cities and include them as well,” DiPiazza said. While this program was put in place to assist veterans and to reduce charges in an offense, it does have limits on certain crimes. “This isn’t going to be a way to get out of minor traffic offenses. It’s not for that,” DiPiazza said. “We’re trying to treat violence and substance abuse and homelessness.” DiPiazza said homelessness itself isn’t a crime, but it puts people in unfortunate situations where they have to commit a crime to survive. According to the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, Arizona has 10,979 homeless folks, and 11.9% of those people are also veterans. “Something that we have to understand is these are people who have served our country and have taken huge risks and have made tremendous sacrifices,” DiPiazza said. “And as a result, they have come home, some of them are not the same as when they went off, and those people deserve some special care and some special attention.” That’s where the Veterans Administration comes in and provides them with assistance, such as helping find employment, a place to live, getting them meals and other resources to help them survive. “We owe a great debt to our veterans,” DiPiazza said. “For the number of them that have developed some issues and problems connected to their service, we should do something to help them out. It’s the very least we could do for them.”

within the four walls, but it was a large space.” Brant said. By having a drone on hand, the police were able to get a “bird’s-eye view” and were able to search with a deliberate plan instead of searching for a needle in a haystack. The drones are also useful at night. “You’d be able to see the heat signature and be able to find people who don’t necessarily want to be found,” Brant said. This drone program is not new for the Glendale Police Department. “When you take a look at the research, the training and all that goes into developing the program, we’ve really been working on that for about two years,” Brant said. While the police department has been working on this new program for two years, it only started the training phase three months ago. The Glendale police decided to learn about the drone programs from other neighboring police departments. “The chief and I had an opportunity to travel to another city, Chula Vista, California,” Brant said. “They are

probably one of the leading law enforcement agencies as far as drones are considered.” The police chief, Chris Briggs, and Brant went to Chula Vista to learn about their program and bring it back to Glendale. When Briggs and Brant asked the department about it, they saw a lot of interest and excitement — particularly from the older generation. “I thought

the younger folks would be interested in it, but it’s been quite the opposite,” Brant said. While operating a drone for an investigative crime scene is much different then operating a drone recreationally, many of the officers have experience working with the aircraft as a hobby. “So far it’s been very exciting,” Brant said. “In fact, I think as we bring in new technology, we often get people wanting to just jump all over it and they’re asking for any chance that they can get (to work with it).” The police have 14 drones, 10 of which are smaller and less expensive. “We bought several of those small drones so that if we were to have a training environment, they’re testing things,” Brant said. Brant predicted residents would

worry about an invasion of privacy. He said there’s no need to be concerned. “We’ve developed everything from the policies associated with this, all the way up to what we’re buying and how we’re using them out in the field,” Brant said. “This wasn’t something that we developed or did secretly or privately. We wanted it to be and we’ll continue to be very transparent with the process.” To be transparent, Glendale police added a page to its website that covers the drone program. This page will go into detail about the program policies and show exactly where the drones fly. “The public can see where a drone was flying so that there isn’t that perception that we’re out there doing some sort of random surveillance, because that is absolutely not the case,” Brant said. The program with Vector Solutions costs $161,000. The partnership agreement expires on Oct. 11, 2024. When the contract expires, the police department will look at what needs to be adjusted to improve the program. “At that point, we’ll be able to evaluate if they’re providing what we need and if it’s cost effective,” Brant said. “Then we could look to renew. “What we’ve tried to tell our folks here is that you’ve got to crawl before you run. Chula Vista said, ‘Hey, listen, this looks great. I know that a lot of police departments would love to have what we have but understand that this didn’t happen overnight.’”

New luxury build-to-rent community to offer 204 homes BY LAUREN SERRATO Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Empire Group of Companies celebrated the opening of its newest community — Village at Olive Marketplace — during a Sept. 29 ribbon-cutting ceremony. Featuring 204 single-story homes situated on 20-acres located at 53rd and Olive avenues, Village Olive Marketplace began leasing in June and is now over 50% leased. “We are very pleased at how quickly the homes are leasing and to see individuals and families move in,” said Shelby Duplessis, president of land development for Empire Group. “It’s a tribute to the thought we put into our location selection, design and the quality of our construction.” Village at Olive Marketplace is a neighborhood of one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, ranging from 680 to 1,282 square feet. The homes include fully equipped kitchen and laundry, a dining area, doggy door leading

cue areas, a dog park and stand-alone community center outfitted with a fitness area and gathering space for community and/or private events. Other amenities will include carcharging stations and a pet-wash area. The community manager is responsible for the maintenance of amenities and landscaping including individual patios and backyard areas. “It’s all about the amenities. It truly is so amenitized here,” Duplessis said. “All that is offered just creates that true turnkey development where you don’t have to maintain anything inside the home or outside. We have the higher-ceiling concept, so you have more lights, it’s open and airy and an open floor plan that’s not very common in apartment living, so it’s very much like having your own home but in an apartment setting.” Duplessis added that Village at Olive Marketplace will benefit Glendale as a whole, as the project has the opportunity to revitalize the area. “I think it needed that boost. It takes an empty dirt lot, and it actually brings some safety precautions.” Previously, it attracted the homeless, but the new development should increase property values, Duplessis said. “It also stimulates the economy here in these surrounding businesses, which helps bring in more entertainment or restaurants. So it’s fun to see that change,” Duplessis said. Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers at-

tended and spoke at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. He was joined by Councilmember Bart Turner, members of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce, along with the Empire Group Companies’ executive and development team. “It is an honor to be joined by leaders in the Glendale community and our partners to celebrate our newest community,” Duplessis added. “Working together we are able to make our vision a reality for Arizona residents.” Weiers said Glendale is a city filled with growth, and this newest addition is a true testimony to that. “Every time somebody comes to Glendale and picks a spot and decides to open up a business, no matter what it is, that’s a very large investment and putting a lot of trust in the city with the belief that you can be successful,” Weiers said. “And if you can do something that helps our community and provides a good service, something that our citizens can use, and a great responsible partner and can still be profitable, why wouldn’t you want to do that? I applaud you guys for making that commitment for choosing Glendale again. You know my favorite saying is ‘Here we grow again,’ and you guys are doing that pretty damn good.” For more information on Village at Olive Marketplace and leasing opportunities visit villageolivemarketplace. com.

Volunteering strengthens mother-daughter bond BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI

Glendale Star Executive Editor

Raising kids who are philanthropically minded isn’t easy. However, instilling beliefs in teens about giving back to others in the community will help build a more thoughtful, kinder, more considerate group of humans. That’s the goal of the National Charity League (NCL), Arrowhead Chapter. Charity work is an integral part of life for mother and daughter Stefanie Ewbank and Selena Rodosta of Peoria. They have been involved with NCL for two years. When they joined, their focus was to spend more intentional time together while being able to serve others. “A few years ago, we were volunteering at the Back-to-School Clothing Drive at Grand Canyon University and we saw all these NCL shirts with the tagline ‘Mothers and Daughters Serving Together,’” Ewbank said. “That was intriguing to us, so we did a little research about the organization and decided to join. I liked the idea of leadership development because Selena has always been very shy, and I thought NCL would be a great way to help break her out of her shell. “Selena was excited to not only serve her community but also develop her college resume. We both felt it would be a way for us to continue serving the community while spending quality time together.” NCL has many chapters across Arizona providing mothers and daughters opportunities to volunteer with dozens of organizations. The group also helps young ladies become strong, independent leaders who appreciate the value of giving back to those in need. The Arrowhead Chapter of NCL has more than 100 mothers and daughters who are focused on the organization’s three pillars — philanthropy, leadership and culture. Glendale residents Kelly Song and her daughters, Ariana Marshall, 15, and Madeline Marshall, 13, have also been part of the Arrowhead NCL chapter for two years. “There is so much need in our community, and trying to decide where to focus our energy can be overwhelm-

organizations, we learned many of them were hurting to get volunteers because of COVID. We saw that as a greater opportunity for us to be able to make even more of an impact.” Volunteering not only gives Ewbank and Rodosta one-on-one time together, research shows volunteering boosts self-confidence and happiness in teens and teaches social and networking skills. “Being a part of National Charity League intentionally disrupts the day-to-day Kelly Song and her daughters, Ariana and Madeline pulls on our schedules by Marshall, volunteer at Ben’s Bells with NCL Arrowgiving us committed time head.

Joining NCL primunity while also allowing us to share oritizes not only time to spend with my these special moments together. NCL daughter but also the values I want her gives us an opportunity to learn about nonprofit organizations we wouldn’t have known existed and also helps my girls build friendships with like-minded people and develop leadership skills.” Each year, NCL requires mothers and daughters to volunteer a minimum number of hours in the community. Last year, Stefanie and Selena dedicated a cumulative 97 hours to community service in the Valley, earning them an award in the Arrowhead Chapter for most hours served. One of their passion projects was Feed My Starving Children in Mesa. Rodosta celebrated her sweet 16 birthday at the charity organization. She invited her entire family to FMSC for an afternoon of service. “Last year we set a goal to complete 50 hours of service each. While we didn’t quite make that, we are very proud of the work we did, especially with everything going on in the world,” Ewbank said. “During the pandemic, we had very little control over our circumstances, so Selena and I chose to control what we could, and making time to complete service projects was within our control. As we started serving these

to carry in her heart as she goes into the next season of her life.” NCL applications are being accepted from women with daughters in sixth to ninth grade. The Arrowhead Chapter members come from across the Valley, including Anthem, Glendale, Peoria and Surprise. “When other mothers ask me about joining NCL I tell them, ‘Just do it,’” Song added. “My girls and I love all the friends we have made through this journey while doing great things for our community, and if you have girls in the National Honor Society it’s a great way to earn credit for volunteering in an organized and focus approach. At the end of the day, I wish we had known about NCL sooner so we could have had even more positive experiences.” The annual NCL Membership Drive takes place through Jan. 15.

ASU campus incident forces rethinking of college BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

Used to be, college was a place where new adults smacked face-first into life. You met people unlike any you’d known before. You confronted new ideas and cultures. You got challenged a little. You learned a lot. That concept of college appears stone cold dead, and video evidence proves it. Its footage shot last week in ASU’s Student Pavilion, in a room recently designated as a “multicultural space.” Before that, the space was a room where ASU pre-med student Chase Beckerman — a white male in his early 20s — sometimes went to study, including with his laptop, adorned with a “Police Lives Matter” sticker. The sticker allegedly sparked the conflict, which last week racked up 5.5 million Twitter views and earned coverage from Fox News to Europe. In it, Beckerman and a white male friend — sporting a “Did Not Vote For Biden”

T-shirt — are confronted by two women of color, sustainability grad student Sarra Tekola and undergrad Mastaani Qureshi, leaders of ASU’s Multicultural Solidarity Coalition, which lobbied for the creation of the space. “What did I do wrong?” Beckerman asks. “You’re offensive,” one of the women says. “Police lives matter?” “We’re just trying to do schoolwork,” says Beckerman’s buddy, while Beckerman notes the presence of a Black Lives Matter sticker. “But this is our space,” the woman says. “You’re making this space uncomfortable.” “You’re making me uncomfortable,” the anti-Biden T-shirt guy says. That’s when the whole thing goes to hell. “But you’re white,” one woman shouts. “Do you understand what a multicultural space (is)? It means you’re not being centered.” To this the anti-Biden guy poses a question:

“White’s not a culture?” “White is not a culture,” Tekola yells. “Say it again to the camera. You think whiteness is a culture? … So anyways, this is the violence that ASU does and this is the type of people that they protect, OK. This white man thinks he can take up our space, and this is why we need a multicultural space. Because they think they can get away with this.” Beckerman says he’s “just trying to study,” which unleashes another tirade. “You’re a racist. Your sticker’s racist. Because police, that’s a job. … I don’t choose to be Black, OK. You can choose to be a cop. You can choose to kill people with a badge, and you’re protecting that. … Which means that you’re racist.” More shouting ensues, more cursing, more woke talking points. The men leave, and the gist is clear: Police are evil. White men, too. The appearance of a pro-law enforcement sticker in a multicultural space is an act of violence. The self-anointed police of this space feel empowered to defend it by enforc-

ing a version of the same Jim Crow segregation Americans of all races battled against for decades. Now Beckerman has an attorney and a public statement. “I support good people of all colors, creeds and religions and support those who want to end racial and social injustice. I am a student. My only desire is to study hard, work hard, and complete my studies at Arizona State University. I am cooperating with the university’s investigation into this incident, and I have faith in that process.” ASU also released a statement: “Differences of opinion are part of the university experience. The university expects respectful dialogue between students in all engagements.” In a righteous world, respect would be a two-way street. You’d get it no matter the title of the space, no matter the color of your skin, no matter the slogan on your sticker. I learned that in kindergarten. Now you go to college to unlearn it.

students were harassed by members of the Multicultural Solidarity Coalition, which then posted a nearly 8-minute video of the confrontation that has since been taken down. (It remains available at other websites, though the graphic language contained therein is far from “quaint.”) One of the white students, as Chase Beckerman, had a sticker on his computer that read “Police Lives Matter” and the other, who remains unidentified, wore a T-shirt reading “Did Not Vote for Biden.” Two women of color, undergraduate

Mastaani Qureshi and graduate student Sarra Tekola, appeared to take the lead in confronting the white men, demanding they leave Room 321. Perhaps the most revealing part of the exchange comes when Beckerman, trying to strike a conciliatory tone, asked, “Is there anywhere I can go?” Tekola responded, “Yeah! The whole rest of the campus! The second floor, the first floor, the whole MU (Memorial Union) — every single part of the campus centers you! This is the only space that you’re not centered and you’re still trying to center yourself, which is peak cis-white male (crap). Beckerman then asserted, “I’m not racist, I’m just studying.”

That assertion brings a hot-tempered response from Tekola: “You are racist! Your sticker is racist because police, that’s a job! You can choose to be police. I don’t choose to be Black! OK, no — you can choose to be a cop, you can choose to kill people with a badge, and you’re protecting that (expletive), which means that you’re racist!” Beckerman said: “I’m sorry. I wasn’t trying to offend you guys or anything.” Tekola has long taken offense at ASU because school officials have not yet officially designated the space she was insisting the white students vacate as a multicultural center. The university maintains that efforts

ASU student confrontation handled with euphemism BY J.D. HAYWORTH

Glendale Star Columnist

Dr. Michael Crow has completed almost two decades as president of Arizona State University. He spent a portion of that time co-authoring a book that encapsulates what could be considered his mission statement for the institution: “Designing the New American University.” But when a new controversy erupted on the Tempe campus and went viral via video on social media, Crow’s subordinates responded with old-fashioned euphemism. On Sept. 23 in Room 321 of the Student Success Center, two white male

to establish one are being formulated, but a specific location and dedication date have not yet been established. Tekola is a Ph.D. candidate in ASU’s School of Sustainability and is Ford Foundation Fellow. The fellowship provides a stipend of at least $24,000 annually, which ASU accepts as full recompense for tuition and fees. Despite the fact that the Ford Foundation describes her academic achievement as truly elite — in the top 4% of applicants — Tekola views herself as a victim. Perhaps that is why, in addition to her role as the founder of MSC, she also is the Phoenix Metro Chapter of Black Lives Matter’s “co-minister for activism.” Maybe that’s why ASU’s statement in response to the confrontation was so muted. It read, in part: “The Dean

of Students Office is aware of the disagreement between a handful of students … (and) will be discussing it with all involved. … Differences of opinion are part of the university experience…” The statement does not detail if any ASU student will face disciplinary action, but Beckerman has retained legal counsel and issued his own statement which emphasizes reconciliation and “meaningful change.” It could also be that Chase is aware that Crow’s book is described as a “radical blueprint for reinventing American higher education” and understands the operative term is “radical.” No euphemism there. J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10, Phoenix, from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 19952007.

Are you good with money? Yes, I thought so. We have to watch our pennies even more closely with inflation. However, it seems there are a few folks in the “art world” who have money to burn. No pun intended. When Banksy, the famous but anonymous British graffiti artist, sold his “Girl with the Balloon” piece at auction a few years back, it fetched $1.4 million. But wait, the moment the deal was done, the work of art self-destructed by unexpectedly lowering itself through a shredder that was secretly built into the bottom of the frame. Was anyone shocked or upset? In a rare display of “true art history,” the newly wrecked piece was retitled and then sold for a staggering $4 million. Oh, the joy of spending (wasting) money.

I know many artists. They are hard-working and express their talents in ways that takes time and energy. They may sometimes struggle to make a living but keep going because of their desire to create and inspire. Art improves our lives. It gives us comfort, beauty, motivation and hope. We might find something familiar in a piece of art, reminiscent of a place or person from our past. Perhaps we feel our lives are made brighter by vivid colors in an abstract or thrilled by a landscape we get to enjoy hanging on our wall. Art and its price tag are personal. An artist named Jenn Haaning was paid $84,000 by a Danish Art Museum to reproduce two of his pieces. Haaning sent the museum a box that contained two empty frames. The “artwork” he sent is titled “Take the Money and Run.” So, the two empty frames which contain blank canvases are on display in a museum. The feedback? People are standing and staring at a blank canvas “imagining” the possibilities. Lordy help us. Have the Danes lost their minds? The museum may ask for a refund, but the artist claims they got what they paid for.

Art is in the eyes of the beholder. And we pay what we think it is worth. I had a friend in nursing school who had a big old bulldog named George. One day while she was painting a bedroom, George spilled the paint, stepped into it and ran through the house. An artist was born. My friend had George step into paint and walk around on big canvases and would then sell the paintings at the local flea markets for a whopping $100 each. A lot of money back then. One of George’s paintings sold for $1,000 at the Ohio county fair. George became a local celebrity and helped my friend pay for her nursing school tuition. The relationship between money and art is both baffling and complicated. Art is the object of our imagination or the summary of our beliefs. The expression of our emotions in all its mystery and glory. Art has been said to mimic life — as in a blank canvas waiting for our brushstrokes to “make the picture.” Like a dog named George, art is for each of us to create and enjoy. Expensive? Maybe. But always priceless. Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local Realtor. Have a comment or a story? Email her at judy@judybluhm.com.

READER’S VIEWPOINT LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Regulate these pot shops

Editor: The rapid acceptance of cannabis legalization by more and more U.S. states is opening up new economic opportunities everywhere, finally recognizing that most Americans find cannabis an acceptable part of daily life. Legalization at the federal level really can’t be that far off, right? But even if cannabis doesn’t become legal everywhere anytime soon, the federal government still should play a role in its regulation — making sure public health and safety are adequately and fairly protected. That is definitely not the case now with each “legal” state passing cannabis regulations that might be much tighter in, or not nearly as tight as, adjoining states. Federal laws and regulations should

govern the quality and safety of cannabis no matter where it is produced or consumed, erect barriers to cannabis use by underage Americans, and address public safety issues like DUI. This kind of regulation already is in place to make sure that alcoholic beverages are of consistent quality no matter where you are in the United States and to tax them in a reasonable way to finance vital public programs. Arizona’s Sens. Sinema and Kelly can do our state, and the nation, a great service by helping their colleagues refine the proposed Cannabis Opportunity and Administration Act. It’s a solid basis for bringing order to the current hodgepodge of state-by-state cannabis regulation. Ted Marin Glendale

Lincoln Property Co. sells Park 303 Phase I for $186M BY LAUREN SERRATO Glendale Star Staff Writer

Within one month of its completion, developer LPC Desert West has completed the sale of the 1.25 millionsquare-foot Park 303 Phase I in Glendale to BentallGreenOak, a global real estate investment management adviser and real estate services provider. At $186 million, the transaction represents the state’s highest single-building industrial sale price. Phase I, which has been fully leased to a Fortune 1 retailer, is located on 71 acres fronting the Loop 303 freeway, between Bethany Home Road and Glendale Avenue. It is part of LPC’s larger Park 303 master-planned industrial park, spanning 210 acres and with

the capacity to support nearly 4 million square feet of Class A industrial development. LPC developed Phase I as a two-building speculative development, with the ability to rapidly combine into a single, larger building as market demand required. “Park 303 was one of the first industrial developments in the state to quickly convert two stand-alone buildings into one larger facility to meet the needs of a major single user,” LPC Desert West Senior Executive Vice President David Krumwiede said. “That flexibility — along with a premier location and high-tech, high-velocity e-commerce fulfillment capabilities — is what cemented our full-building lease. Our buyer recognized these advantages and moved quickly to secure the building and its significant long-term value.” Ed Lampitt, Mike Haenel, Andy Markham and Phil Haenel of Cushman and Wakefield represented Park 303’s Phase I tenant. Will Strong of Cushman and Wakefield represented LPC on the investment sale. LPC will continue to provide the building’s property management services “This sale is a true joint effort between Cushman and Wakefield and LPC,” LPC Desert West Vice President John Orsak said. “Ed Lampitt and his team coordinated an extremely successful lease process for our Phase I building. When the time came to list the property for sale, keeping that Cushman collaboration going and selecting Will Strong to represent us was a natural choice.” Park 303 Phase I directly fronts the

Loop 303 freeway, offering easy ingress and egress via two full-diamond freeway interchanges, and convenient access to a deep and skilled West Valley labor pool. Building amenities include 40-foot clear height and steel moment frame shear bracing that allows highly modern, automated racking and picking equipment. Other amenities include 25,000 square feet of Class A office and training space; large breakrooms; and upgraded, fully amenitized outdoor spaces with covered seating, a barbecue station and grass area for games and events. Employees also benefit from efficient LED lighting and more than 140 large clerestory glass windows, which provide access to sky views and shifting natural light, shown to increase productivity and mental focus. The gated, supply-chain-centric site has full concrete truck courts, ample truck parking and private drives.

Park 303 Phase I was originally developed as a 705,531-square-foot Building A and 488,995-square-foot Building B. To accommodate a major global user, LPC quickly combined the buildings into a single facility. The project sits within Glendale’s New Frontier District and is 1 mile from the Northern Parkway, a 12.5mile, high-capacity roadway providing rapid connection between the Loop 303 and U.S. 60/Grand Avenue. The connection offers expedited distribution routes and allows employees to avoid common rush hour trafﬁc delays on Interstate 10. Corporate neighbors to Park 303 include Boeing, Microsoft, White Claw, XPO Logistics, UPS, REI, SubZero, Daimler-Benz, Red Bull, Ball Corporation and Aldi, as well as hundreds of new residential homes.

Festivals encourage patrons to return to Downtown Glendale BY LAURA LATZKO

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

The walkabout area of Historic Downtown Glendale offers two distinct neighborhoods, Catlin Court and Old Towne. In Catlin Court, an area known for its white picket fences and shade trees, homes from the 1800s and early and mid-1900s have been converted into shops. The Old Towne area is also distinctive, with its bricktrimmed walkways and gaslights. During the 27th annual Front Porch Festival and Old Towne Marketplace on Saturday, Oct. 9, visitors can explore both historic neighborhoods, meet local business owners, watch artisan demonstrations, try seasonal menu items, take part in make-and-take activities, and shop for themed décor and gifts. The shops will be decorated for fall, and Catlin Court stores will showcase items on front porches and lawns. Chair Valerie Burner, owner of Bears & More, said, from the start, the event has been a communitywide effort designed to showcase what the area’s shops have to offer. “The idea of the Front Porch Festival is to take an element of your business and take it outside,” Burner said. “It originally was Catlin Court way back in the day. We all took something of our shops, some sort of something, and took it outside so that we could interact with the customers in a completely different way. “The customers could see a little peek at what went into the business. If we had the makers, we would invite them to come so that they could connect with that piece of jewelry, Teddy bear or piece of glass. It has grown from that. Now, Old Towne has joined. They don’t have porches, so it’s a little bit of a different feel. They really decorate for fall, and they still bring in artisans and makers.” Burner said many shop owners are

on-site to interact with guests. “A lot of us are out there, manning the table, talking about our businesses, talking about whatever little craft it is that they are doing,” Burner said. “It is a connection, and it is so important to have that connection to people these days with everything so online and digital. It is lovely to sit there and have a fun little conversation.” Burner said events like the Front Porch Festival and Old Towne Marketplace allow patrons to collectively share something special. “I think especially after the last year and a half, people want to be with people,” Burner said. “We were all holed up in our homes, not going out, not being able to do a lot of things. Especially now, just to hear that laughter that you hear from two doors down and see the smiling faces, it’s more than ever an important part of the community events.” Throughout the day, many of the shops will have special sales and free gifts with purchase. Activities and special menu items offered during the event include: • Bears & More, 7146 N. 58th Drive, a pine cone gnome make-and-take. • Pink House Boutique, 7009 N. 58th Avenue, a pumpkin ornament activity. • Papa Ed’s Ice Cream, 7146 N. 58th Avenue, with every purchase, free Spooky Bites waffle cone chips shaped like bats, witches’ hats or ghosts; seasonal pumpkin pie ice cream and pumpkin cream soda floats and pumpkin spice waffle cone demos at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. • Memory Lane Trinkets and Treasures, 5836 W. Palmaire Avenue, a Kindness Rocks activity, Sissy Bees flavored hand pies, and artisan demos by Gina Burns and Denise Kartman. • Haus Murphy’s, 5739 W. Glendale Avenue, a season apple strudel dessert.

• The Spicery in Our 1895 Home, 7141 N. 59th Avenue, pumpkin pancakes and cinnamon rolls for breakfast, a fall salad special for lunch, and pumpkin spice tea. • Glendale Flowers and Gifts, 7163 N. 58th Drive, a $5 to $10 fall ﬂoral arrangement make-and-take. Throughout the year, Historic Downtown Glendale shops participate in monthly events, including the Front Porch Festival and Old Towne Marketplace, which have become staples that attract people to the area. “We want to make sure that we give people a reason to come to Glendale and that we give the people that come to Glendale great memories,” Burner said. For these events, the local shop owners plan and hold these events, which often have a charity component. Burner said the events inspire business owners to brainstorm new activities, menu items and decoration ideas. “It pushes us to be creative and to think about what we can do that would be fun and engaging,” Burner said. “Because we are pushed creativity

that way, then the people who come are excited to come. It makes, from a business owner’s standpoint, it exciting to come up with a new idea.” The pandemic has been hard on shop and restaurant owners everywhere, and those in Historic Downtown Glendale haven’t been immune to that. Burner said most Historic Downtown Glendale shops have survived the pandemic. A few shops have opened, moved locations or have new owners. The pandemic brought the shop owners together. “We are all used to having to look at challenges in a different way. We are all owner-operators,” Burner said. “We all have different business models. Because we are a community, we share. ‘This works for me, why don’t you try this?’ We can all work together to make sure that we all come out the other end. That’s the beneﬁt of being in a really tight-knit small-business community. Each of us working hard to make sure that our other neighbors are still there, it works pretty well. “It’s a wonderful, supportive, collective community. You want your neighbors to succeed because their success is your success. So, anything that we can do that will help somebody succeed, we’re all in for that.”

■ ARIZONA AREA RESIDENTS CASH IN: Pictured above are protected Priority Packages containing the unsearched Vault Bags that everyone will be trying to get. It’s hard to tell how much these unsearched bags loaded with rarely seen Gov’t issued coins could be worth someday. That’s because each Vault Bag is known to contain nearly 3 pounds of Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s including all those shown in today’s publication. In addition, after each bag is loaded with over 200 rarely seen coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above, the dates and mint marks are never searched to determine collector values. So you better believe at just $980 these unsearched Vault Bags are a real steal.

Rarely seen United States coins up for grabs in Arizona -zip codes determine who gets them

Unsearched Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value are actually being handed over to residents who find their zip code below and beat the 48 hour order deadline AZ RESIDENTS: IF YOU FIND THE FIRST THREE DIGITS OF YOUR ZIP CODE BELOW.

Ever since the decision by Federated Mint to release rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins to the general public — I’m being asked how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s

no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs nearly 3 pounds and is known to contain rarely seen Morgan Silver Dollars and these coins alone could be worth $40 - $325 in collector value each according to The Official Red Book, a Guide Book of United States Coins.

■ UNSEARCHED: Pictured above are the unsearched Vault Bags being handed over to Arizona residents who call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends. And here’s the best part. Each Vault Bag is loaded with over 200 U.S. Gov’t issued coins, including all the coins pictured in today’s publication, some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value. Each coin is verified to meet a minimum collector grade of very good or above before the bags are securely sealed and the dates and mint marks are never searched by Federated Mint to determine collector value. If you find your zip code listed, call 1-800-869-3164 EXT.UV31332 immediately. (Continued from previous page)

after the bags were loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Lynne. The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll-Free Hotline before the 48-hour deadline ends. This is very important. After the Vault Bags were loaded with over 200 of U.S. Gov’t issued coins, each verified to meet a minimum collector grade quality of very good or above, the dates and mint marks were never searched to determine collector values. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $1,500 for residents who miss the 48-hour deadline, but for those U.S. residents who beat the 48-hour

deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $980 as long as they call the National TollFree Hotline before the deadline ends. “R emember th is , we ca n not stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they can get in this special advertising announcement. And you better believe with each bag being loaded with nearly 3 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins we’re guessing they’re going to go quick,” said Lynne. The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30 a.m. this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded with the rarely seen coins pictured left and highly sought after collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including iconic Morgan Silver Dollars, a historic Peace Silver Dollar, stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollars, the collectible Silver Eisenhower Dollars, spectacular Silver Liberty Head Half and Quarter Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President

Kennedy Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty Quarter Dollars, A merican Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, one cent Historic Wheat Coins including 1943 “Steel Cents”, one of the beautiful Winged Liberty Head Dimes, scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coins and the last ever minted Buffalo Nickels. “With all these collectible U.S. Gov’t Issued coins up for grabs we’re going to do our best to answer all the calls,” said Lynne. Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. If you find your zip code listed, call 1-800-869-3164 EXT.UV31332 immediately. Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date. ■

Tom Brokaw had this takeaway about 7th grade The year is 2012. Becky and I are in Tempe, attending our son’s graduation at ASU. The graduation was inside of the football stadium. Soon-to-be graduates, dressed in their regalia, are seated on the stadium’s playing ﬁeld. Families and friends are sitting in the stands around the playing ﬁeld. It’s May, the hot time of the year. I’d estimate there were more than 30,000 people in attendance. The famous newscaster Tom Brokaw was the featured speaker at the graduation. He is very respected in America, and having Mr. Brokaw speak at the graduation was a big event. When it was Mr. Brokaw’s turn to give the graduation speech, the drone of conversational buzz in the stadium ceased. Even the students quit messing around and quieted themselves to hear what this “biggie” would say. Tom Brokaw came to the podium, and with a big smile he began his speech. Here is my very close recollection of the opening of his speech. “Well, it’s your big day. Congratulations. I know you are thinking that you are going out into a grown-up, mature world. You’re expecting professionalism. You won’t have to put up with childish things anymore. I have news for you. When you get a job in the grown-up world, you are going back to seventh grade again.” In other words, it’s not what you think it will be. It’s not mature. It’s immature. Get ready for it. I was stunned — what a way to start a graduation message. The families and friends with more experience in the real world roared in laughter. The students looked around, wondering

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

what was going on. They had no idea of what was to come. I have never forgotten Tom Brokaw’s introduction. Finally, someone said something honest and truthful. When I started my career, it was kind of like a marriage. I mean, love is blind, but marriage is a real eye-opener. I couldn’t believe how “seventh grade” it was in the real world. There was competing, game playing, starting rumors, criticism, and heaps of other adjectives I could use. “Seventh gradeism” is prevalent in academia, media, government, business and church. We have women competing to be homecoming queen. We have men strutting and preening to be homecoming king. In these contests, there is far more energy spent in attaining than doing. That hurts everyone. Let me illustrate with a story of three states in the United States trying to outdo one another. After digging to a depth of 10 feet last year outside Buffalo, scientists found traces of copper cable dating back 100 years. They concluded that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago. Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, a Los Angeles archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet somewhere just outside

Oceanside. Shortly afterward, a story in the LA Times read, “California archaeologists, reporting a ﬁnding of 200-year-old copper cable, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 100 years earlier than the New Yorkers.” One week later, a local newspaper in Green Bay reported, “After digging 30 feet deep in his pasture near the community of Sobieski, Wisconsin, Ole Olson, a heck of an engineer and a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Ole has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Wisconsin had already gone wireless.” It just makes a person proud to be from Wisconsin. Welcome back to the seventh grade! Think of it. You are only young once, but you can stay immature indeﬁnitely. Immaturity is like an itch — the less you have of it, the better off you are, assuming you’re an adult. So please don’t hear what I didn’t say. It’s great to feel like a kid again, to compete, laugh and the like, but not all the time. There is a time to act mature because you are mature. That’s true at work, in marriage and in raising a family. And it’s especially true in your conversations with others and how you treat others. Even though our mouths are just inches from our brain, sometimes it seems like miles. Unfortunately, Tom Brokaw is right. Welcome back to seventh grade. So, what does living in a seventh grade culture world look and feel like? It looks and feels like life today. Look around. It’s everywhere in politics, media, gov-

ernment, business, sports, arts and the like. So, what’s the problem with seventh grade? Nothing, if you are a seventh grader. But everything if you act like a seventh grader 30, 40, 50, 60 or 70 years later. Immature people create an adolescent society and culture. Here’s the consequences of a society run by seventh graders who never grow up from Scripture. Mean-spirited ambition isn’t maturity. Boasting that you are wise isn’t maturity. Twisting the truth to make yourselves sound wise isn’t maturity. It’s the furthest thing from maturity — it’s animal cunning, devilish plotting. Whenever you’re trying to look better than others or get the better of others, things fall apart, and everyone ends up at the others’ throats” (James 3: 16-18 parts). So, do we get any better, or is this it? I say we get better. How? “When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I grew up, I did away with childish things” (I Corinthians 13:11). Perhaps I could say it this way. We’re not sick. We’re stuck. Here’s what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It’s the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. After all, the idea is to grow up before you grow old.

This master plan shall define the direction, physical needs, land acquisition, potential repurposing of existing land and buildings, and overall approach of the university for a tenyear timeframe. This plan shall include considerations of utilities, sustainability, universal access and design, connectivity, transportation, and the future and longstanding effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This should be based on NAU’s academic and research needs, the student population it is projected to serve, the forthcoming 2022-2025 NAU Strategic Roadmap, and on the image NAU leadership wishes to project. The final plan should also include a well-laid out strategy for transforming the University’s buildings and grounds into a connected, smart campus for the twenty-first century to enrich students’ experience and promote well-being for the entire campus community. In addition, the final plan should incorporate essential elements of the recently completed Strategic Space Utilization Study, the soon-to-be completed NAU Climate Action Plan, and the Sustainable Campus Ecosystem Initiative.

NOTICE OF REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS CITY OF GLENDALE thunderbird conservation park improvements ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION SERVICES Project No. 212216 Bid No. 42200013 CONSULTING SERVICES The City of Glendale is seeking a qualified professional firm to provide design, preliminary cost estimating, permit approvals, and construction administration services to modernize the trailheads and associated facilities at the City of Glendale’s Thunderbird Conservation Park. The current budget for this project is approximately $5M. PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Thunderbird Conservation Park is 1,185 acres, located in the Hedgpeth Hills in north Glendale, Arizona. The park is dedicated to preserving the desert environment and offers activities that include picnicking, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, jogging, and bird watching. The park includes approximately 15-miles of multiuse trails, parking lots, ramadas, and restrooms. There are three trailheads/entrances to the park. The main trailhead/entrance is off of 59th Avenue (22600 North 59th Avenue), another on Pinnacle Peak Road at 55th Avenue (5486 W. Pinnacle Peak Road), and the third off of 67th Avenue at Patrick Lane. The trails and access roads branch from these trailheads into the park. The City’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan was updated this year, 2021. Goals and objectives considered for this project include: improve access to the park by prioritizing improvements to the trailheads and infrastructure, develop an environmental education program, revegetate native desert areas, revitalize the existing amphitheater into a desert botanical garden, update or replace existing facilities (e.g., restrooms, shade structures, trailheads, etc.), provide trail, historic, and environmental interpretive signs, and fund a trail maintenance program. SCOPE OF WORK The selected professional firm (Consultant) will work closely with various City departments, including Engineering, Public Facilities, Recreation, and Special Events (PFRSE), Facilities Management, Development Services, and others, as needed, during the design and construction phases of the project. The City will utilize the services of the Consultant for programming/concepts, design, construction cost estimating and construction administration. PRE-SUBMITTAL CONFERENCE A pre-submittal conference will be held on Wednesday, October 20, 2021, at 10:00 a.m., at the Thunderbird Conservation Park amphitheater, 22600 North 59th Avenue, Glendale, AZ 85301. At this meeting, staff will discuss the scope of work, general contract issues and respond to questions from the attendees. Attendance will be limited to a maximum of 2 attendees per firm. The attendees will be allowed to conduct their own park walk-through, if desired. 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 have a representative join the pre-submittal conference. REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PACKET The RFP packet is available on the City’s Vendor Self Service (VSS) Bids Page, Bid No. 42200013 at https://glendaleazvendors.munisselfservice.com/Vendors/VBids/Default.aspx. Questions pertaining to the RFP or selection process should be directed in writing to the Engineering Department, City of Glendale, 5850 West Glendale Avenue, Glendale, AZ 85301, or by e m a i l t o EngineeringDept@glendaleaz.com. The RFP submittal due date is: Thursday, October 28, 2021, no later than 2:00 p.m. You must be registered as a vendor in order to submit a proposal. To register please visit the Vendor Self Sers i t e a t v i c e https://glendaleazvendors.munisselfservice.com/Vendors/Default.aspx.
