Despite multiple protests by many of the same neighbors who have cried out against the project for more than a year, Glendale City Council effectively closed the books on the Glen Lakes Golf Course.

“It’s a crying shame,” said Councilman Bart Turner, the lone opposing vote. “We can afford to restore this, either as a golf course or a park. ... There’s a lot of dissent in the community.”

Council voted 6-1 to approve an amend-

ment and rezoning of the city-owned golf course. That clears the way for closing on the $6.5 million sale of Glen Lakes Golf Course.

Homes by Towne, the buyer, plans a 173home gated housing community, with a 10acre surrounding park.

“I know residents won’t like this,” said Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff, who voted for both motions.

So the 173-home Trevino at Glen Lakes is set to tee off in Glendale.

Suzanne Weber, director of marketing of

Homes by Towne, was asked by The Glendale Star about the opposition by neighbors.

“We respect the love neighbors have for this community and invite everyone to come and visit our existing communities to see what we are about,” said Weber.

Homes by Towne has communities in Surprise, Litchfield Park, Cave Creek and North Phoenix.

Asked why Homes by Towne was so interested in Glen Lakes, Weber said, “We were excited about the opportunity to build SEE GLEN

Glen Lakes is on 40 acres near Northern and 55th avenues in northeast Glendale.

According to Weber, construction on the Trevino at Glen Lakes community will begin with six months “with home closing slated for two years from now.”

She said the 173 homes will range from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet.

The Glendale Chamber of Commerce wholeheartedly supports the project.

“We encourage your full support on Trevino at Glen Lakes—your approval of this project will demonstrate the councils ability recognize the importance of an infill project as a way to strengthen Glendale’s economy,” wrote Robert Heidt Jr., president and CEO of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce, in a letter to the mayor and council members before the meeting.

“In addition, your support recognizes the potential of this new development as a catalyst for new and affordable homes, shows you have fully evaluated the prior use as a golf course and the cost implications associated, etc. It also shows the community the council’s ability to recognize a better use for a city asset that has not been able to reach the potential it perhaps once had whereas it has been costing the city money.”

Heidt said the new community will have significant impacts “and has the potential to raise property values in the area. What is also of great interest, the nearly 173 new homes and families who will relocate into our community within one mile of downtown, an area of the community we continue to work collectively on as we strive to drive economic

vitality to downtown businesses—another win for Glendale’s businesses,” Heidt said.

But several who posted comments to The Glendale Star’s social media expressed frustration.

“Our Glendale City Council doesn’t care what its residents want. Thank you, Bart Turner, for being the one vote of reason,” said Jim Wolfe.

Tom Cole complained about council “completely disregarding the unanimous vote of the planning commission.

The majority of this council thinks they

know better than the neighbors or the volunteers appointed for this purpose.

This is not how city government is supposed to work.”

“This is so sad!” wrote Becky Shad.

“Thank you Bart for trying.”

Jane Bachmann, one of the leaders of Save Glen Lakes, which has been fighting to keep the golf course, joined in the praise of Turner and condemnation of the other votes.

But Bachmann added a cryptic note; “It is not over yet for Glen Lakes, stay tuned ...”

and a firefighter urged Glendale voters to approve the GUHSD request.

No letters of opposition were submitted.

Similarly, Peoria Unified School District received strong support for its requests.

The Peoria Unified School District is asking for a continuation of a 13% maintenance and operations (M&O) budget override in addition to a $125 million bond.

“We need to continue to support our local schools by voting Yes on the Peoria Unified School District Override and Bond this November. Both issues support our community’s important education needs without raising taxes.

These resources are critical to excellence and the education of tomorrow’s leaders and business owners,” wrote Scot Andrews, president and CEO of the Peoria Chamber of Commerce.

Robert W. Heidt Jr., president and CEO of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce, seconded that.

“The Glendale Chamber of Commerce represents nearly 1,400 area

The Glendale Star businesses and recognizes the value of continued investments in our education system. Additionally, we understand the obligation we have to better educate our business leaders of the future.

Our business community’s sustainability depends on our continued support of a quality education system. Funding education is vital and plays a significant role in our ability to attract economic opportunities and quality jobs,” Heidt wrote in his letter of support for the PUSD requests.

Lisa Copley, a real estate professional, stressed the return on investment.

“While reality TV glamorizes home remodels, the truth remains that vibrant local schools have some of the greatest impact on a home’s value,” Copley wrote. “According to the National Association of REALTORS, ‘25% of home buyers listed school quality and 20% listed proximity to schools as deciding factors in their home purchase.’

Strong schools reduce crime and help protect our quality of life.”

Against multiple letters from parents and elected officials in Glendale and Peoria, there were two letters opposing

the Peoria Unified override request.

“This is the fourth time Peoria Unified School District has come to us asking for more money,” wrote Corrine Haynes, who identified herself as a retired teacher and urged voters to reject the requests.

“Yet their achievement scores still remain poor with 70% of our 11th graders unable to pass the state reading test. Poor performance does NOT result from lack of funding. It is not true that our schools are underfunded—quite the contrary. ... Until our concerns are answered, and we see actual proof of a rigorous curriculum that fosters skilled, informative, critical thinkers that can navigate successfully in this complicated world, stop asking for more money and start creating a better path forward. That would give me a reason to support an override!”

The other letter urging voters to reject the override came from Rick Gutridge, a PUSD advisory committee member.

Gutridge wrote he was upset a 12% override—rather than 13%—was not put on the ballot.

The smaller request, he said, “was

October 22, 2020 intended to show that PUSD was willing to make a small sacrifice alongside district families who’ve taken cuts in their income due, or lost their jobs entirely, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Advisory Committee and Governing Board majority refused to consider this simple gesture, this reasonable option. They’ve made it clear that their wants and needs are more important than those of district families and small businesses, who are in no position to fund anything beyond their own essentials.”

Gutridge and Haynes also wrote letters opposing the PUSD $125 million bond request.

PUSD voting history

According to information provided by PUSD, “If approved, the M&O override continuation would continue to provide $28 million of additional funding each year to fund health care professionals, physical education, arts education, music, chorus and assistant principals on district campuses.”

Voters approved the current 13% override in 2015.

Truck vs. House

The Glendale Fire Department responded to a call Friday, Oct. 16, after a pickup truck drove into a house at 5528 W. Carol Avenue, near Glendale Community College. According to Sgt. Tara Ochoa of the Glendale Police Department, the driver was taken to a hospital. Preliminary charges “include driving under the influence and criminal damage, but those charges are pending lab results and contact with the owner of the house that was crashed into,” said Ochoa.

But an increase to 15% narrowly failed last fall.

PUSD voters first approved a 10% override in 1996 and renewed overrides in 2001, 2006 and 2012. In 2015, voters approved a 13% override. The authorization lasts for seven years and phases out over the last two years if not renewed or replaced with another voter-approved initiative.

If approved, the override will result in an estimated average annual tax rate of $1.4486 per $100 of limited assessed valuation for residential property owners. The tax rate associated with the district’s existing bond sales and the new $125,255,000 bond authorization would be $1.4781 per $100 of limited assessed valuation for a residential homeowner in the district.

According to PUSD, the $125 million bond would pay for: • Renovation and essential and critical improvements at existing schools and support centers.

• Implementation of safety features at all school sites.

• Replacement of student and staff

computer devices, servers and technology infrastructure.

• Replacement of student transportation vehicles, including special education and activity buses.

• Acquiring land for future construction of a new high school.

School boards

In school board races, five candidates will be on the ballot for the Deer Valley Unified School District board and four for the Glendale Elementary School District board. Both districts have three seats open and had one candidate withdraw.

A robust field of nine candidates will fight for three Peoria Unified School District governing board seats. Seven of them participated in a Sept. 21 forum sponsored by the Peoria United Parent Council.

Glendale Union High School District will not have an election, as only three candidates filed for the three seats that are open. Laura Arita, Patti Jo Hussey and Pam Reicks will be appointed to the GUHSD board.

Glendale HOA orders removal of Black Lives Matter sign

BY ADIANNA BERMUDEZ Cronkite News

Melanie Boyle hung a hand-painted Black Lives Matter sign on her home in July to show her support for the movement and its demands for justice.

“I wanted to do this little act of putting up a sign and open more conversation about it in my area,” she said.

Conversations with her neighbors went well, with some also expressing support for BLM and a supporter of President Donald Trump who acknowledged the rights of Boyle’s family to display their opinions.

Then, in September, she got a different response. Her homeowner’s association, or HOA, sent her a violation notice.

HOAs have the power to dictate which signs and flags can be displayed in homeowners’ yards and on their houses, a power backed up by federal, state and local laws.

Boyle wasn’t having it. One street down from hers, the 36-year-old phy-

sician said, are six houses displaying Trump 2020 flags. If those are allowed, she thought, so should her cardboard sign.

Staples of election season, political signs and banners clutter the sides of busy streets and pop up in yards across metro Phoenix. Throughout the year, some neighbors use flags and signs to show their allegiance to sports team logos or to show “Congrats! You Graduated!” signs.

A Phoenix attorney with an expertise in HOAs said questions that arise in Boyle’s BLM sign case include First Amendment rights to use signs to speak your mind versus HOAs’ legal standing to regulate signs, and whether HOA policies are inconsistently applied.

A trail of emails shows Boyle’s attempts at clarification.

The company cited Glendale city code concerning political signs, set out the maximum number and size of signs allowed, and said they could not be displayed earlier than 71 days before an election.

Noncompliant signs had to be removed within three days, it said.

That meant the earliest residents could display political signs was Aug. 24. Five days before that, Boyle sent an email asking whether the prohibitions included her family’s BLM sign.

Rising COVID-19 cases headed toward exponential growth

BY ALLISON ENGSTROM Cronkite News

A prominent health expert has expressed worry about rising COVID-19 numbers across Arizona, saying the trend is reminiscent of early summer conditions that preceded a spike in cases and rollback of measures to reopen businesses.

“This is a moment to sort of stop and take measure and think hard about: What can we do to prevent this?” said Joshua LaBaer, executive director of Arizona State University’s Biodesign Institute, which is tracking case trends across Arizona’s 15 counties, as well as in the state overall and the nation.

LaBaer said 902 new cases were reported Oct. 14 by the Arizona Department of Health Services, and “we haven’t seen that in a while.”

On Oct. 15, 1,113 new cases were reported in the state, with 1,040 new cases Oct. 20. The previous week, the daily number of new cases averaged 786.

“In terms of numbers of new cases, we are on a path headed toward exponential growth,” LaBaer said. “The tricky thing about exponential growth is that it doesn’t look like it’s growing very fast at first.

“The numbers day over day don’t look like they’re big changes. But then, all of a sudden, it really can take off.

And so I am concerned.”

On May 29, the state reported 909 new cases. One month later, on June 29, the daily number peaked at 5,461.

When cases first began popping up across Arizona in March, Gov. Doug Ducey and county and municipal lead-

ers implemented policies to help prevent spread. The closure of nonessential businesses, along with mask mandates, were credited with slowing the disease in the community.

But as cases started to decline, restrictions eased, too.

For example, schools across the state have been reopening, and in Maricopa County alone, 21 have reported COVID-19 outbreaks since August, according to county statistics.

And as of Oct. 1, no county in the state remained in the “substantial” transmission category, meaning restaurants, movie theaters, gyms and other businesses could begin reopening.

“The choices Arizonans have made in the interest of public health have gotten us to this milestone,” said Dr. Cara Christ, director of the state health department, at the time.

But there must be a balance between public policy and personal responsibility, LaBaer said, urging anyone in a public-facing job or who interacts with new people to get tested on a regular basis.

“We’re still not testing enough,” he said. “People are just not showing up.”

LaBaer noted that things might only get worse with Halloween weeks away, followed by Thanksgiving and the December holidays of Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.

He advises parents to proceed with caution if they plan to allow their children to trick or treat. He recommends wearing masks that cover nose and mouth, avoiding big groups of people, and wiping off candy wrappers before the kiddos dig in.

COVID-19 cases in the U.S. and Arizona appear to be on the rise. (Cronkite News graphic)

Traditional trick-or-treating and indoor parties have been designated as high-risk activities by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

LaBaer said upcoming holiday parties should be kept small and restricted to immediate family, noting that larger gatherings have been found to be COVID-19 “super-spreaders.”

If events can’t be kept small, he rec-

ommends mask-wearing, social distancing and testing before the event to ensure safety.

“We have to really be thoughtful about gatherings of people,” LaBaer said. “It’s just not good right now to bring a lot of people together, and if people are coming together, they really need to be wearing masks and maintaining distancing.”

LD 21 candidates ‘square’ off for an online debate

BY BRIAN CANO SR.

School vouchers, Proposition 208 and the state’s COVID-19 response were debated during the Legislative District 21 candidate online forum sponsored by the Citizens Clean Elections Commission.

The participants, Republican incumbent Kevin Payne, Republican Beverly Pingerelli and Democrat Kathy Knecht, seek to fill two House seats.

State Sen. Rick Gray, a Republican who is running unopposed, did not participate.

Moderator Arren Kimbel-Sannit asked each candidate to highlight how they plan to help the citizens of LD 21, which includes parts of Glendale and Peoria.

“As chairman of the Public Safety Committee, I get to hold the line against the terrorist groups who want to defund our police and leave us vulnerable to mob rule,” Payne said. “I’m an active proponent for real border security and an end to the flow of illegal drug crime violence that crosses (the border).”

Knecht said, “I have deep roots here in the West Valley. I was an elementary school teacher, a 12-year public school board member, and I was the president of the Arizona School Boards Association.

“I’m focused on strengthening our schools; ensuring that our seniors and our families have affordable, quality health care; and bringing high-paying jobs to the Northwest Valley,” Knecht added.

Willis was found with gunshot wounds and died at the scene, she said.

“(An) investigation revealed that Willis was in the parking lot when he was approached by the suspect. The two were involved in an altercation when the suspect pulled out a gun and shot the victim,” Ngalula said.

Garrett, 26, was identified as the suspect.

Detectives found Garrett nearly three weeks later at an apartment near the shooting.

Garrett “attempted to evade arrest efforts but was ultimately taken into custody,” Ngalula said.

Glendale police arrest murder suspect

Garrett faces charges of second-degree murder and a weapons violation.

He has several previous convictions, including aggravated assault of a police officer and domestic violence assault.

On Feb. 12, 2018, Garrett was sentenced to 27 months, with a credit for four months he had served while awaiting trial.

He was released from prison Sept. 5, 2019.

business corporations, but it hits small businesses.”

Payne continued, “We have managed to fund school funding a tremendous amount, billions of dollars. In fact, the largest expenditure we have in our budget is for education, and we’ve managed to do that without raising any taxes at all.”

Pingerelli agreed.

“I do not support 208. It will hurt small businesses. And then just to let you know that $4.6 million is coming in to support 208, from outside the state, so I don’t think that’s correct,” Pingerelli said.

“The thing is not to just look at the money but to look at what we’re getting for the money that we’re spending. In Peoria, 70% of our 11th graders can’t pass the English language, AzMerit (tests). So in order to get those educated students, we’re going to have to change things around,” she said.

Knecht disagreed, saying Prop 208 is fundamental in attracting businesses to the Northwest Valley, which attract younger workers with younger families.

“I do support Invest in Ed because the Legislature has offered no alternative,” Knecht said. “Arizona’s teachers are among some of the lowest paid in the nation.

“I long for the day that we don’t have to ask our local taxpayers to tax themselves to pay for their local schools, especially when those local schools are responsible for raising their property taxes, lowering crime rates, making healthy communities and preparing kids for our workforce,” Knecht added.

RV and boat owners could face more parking restrictions

The Glendale Code Review Committee met Sept. 24, discussing motorhomes and boats being allowed to park on public streets and whether more should be done to limit street parking.

Committee member Yvonne Knaack brought attention to a lack of street parking restrictions for motorhomes and boats. She suggested these vehicles be completely banned from street parking.

“My suggestion would be that we don’t allow them to park on the street at all except for unloading or loading,” Knaack said about motorhomes.

Although the city’s code does have language stating that no person can park any mobile home or travel trailer on any street, the code also allows for some exceptions.

“A trailer hitched to a vehicle is legal to park on the street, and that’s whether it’s a utility trailer or a travel trailer,” said Councilman Bart Turner. “Unhinged, it’s not legal to be left on the street.”

This is what deputy city manager Rick St. John has called a “loophole” within the current system, where motorhomes are able to remain on streets if they are connected to another vehicle.

The current city code also allows for another exception with its lack of naming “motorhomes” directly in the code, only prohibiting “mobile homes” and “travel trailers” from street parking by name.

“I think the only way that you’re ever going to solve the problem is that you just do not allow these large motorhomes to be parked on the street,” said Knaack. With a complete ban, code en-

tar

forcement would not have to deal with chain parking from motorhomes and boats.

The issue of “chain parking,” where owners move their vehicles but only slightly, was also discussed.

“We’re talking about chain parking.

We’re talking about moving a car a couple of feet as opposed to moving the car as it should be moved,” said St. John.

To stop this problem from continuing, the committee is looking into the idea of chalking the treads of tires so that one can visibly see if a vehicle has moved or not. Using a GPS to track how far a vehicle has moved was also addressed by the committee as a tool to use in halting 48-hour parking violations, but using a GPS would require having a court order, as it interferes with one’s right to privacy.

Along with this idea, the committee discussed giving code enforcement the ability to write citations rather than having to call the police on those interfering with street parking violations. If furthered by the committee, this idea could be taken to the council as an item of special interest.

“Completely banning motorhomes from being able to park on the street would affect a lot of people I know,” said Glendale resident Alfredo Garcia Valdes, 19. “It’s hard for people to look for a place to park without having to worry about getting tickets or people vandalizing their property.”

The request to ban motorhomes and boats from street parking, apart from when the vehicles are being unloaded or loaded, is being investigated by the committee and will potentially be taken to the council as an item to oversee in the future.

Glendale city staff explains proposed bonds

BY AUSTIN ASHBURN

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

At an Oct. 1 Glendale Planning Commission meeting, city staff discussed the impact of proposed bonds, highlighting the potential for property tax increases.

Voters will decide four bond measures totaling $187 million Nov. 3.

The first bond question asks for $87.2 million for a parks and recreation bond.

This bond will improve parks by updating playgrounds, restrooms and other infrastructures in need of restoration.

Alongside needed infrastructure improvements, the bond will update the technology available within the parks.

“It reduces manual labor. It reduces staff having to actually go out to the park and investigate what’s going on,” said Pete Garcia, Glendale parks superintendent.

Heroes Park, a regional park located on the west side of Glendale, would receive major improvements. According to Jim Burke, director of public facilities, this includes technological advancements and the development of a lake.

The second bond question seeks $81.5 million for street improvements.

This bond is looking to develop a reconstruction program for all arterials/ main streets as a 30-year plan. According to Glendale’s website, the bond will focus on specifically improving Bell, Thunderbird and Bethany Home roads.

“The projects would involve construction and reconstruction, which means taking the streets all the way down to the dirt level and rebuilding them. This gives the street a new life of about 30 years,” said Trevor Ebersole, transportation director.

The third bond question on the ballot will ask for $9.9 million to help improve the city’s landfill. Unlike the other three bonds, this bond will not be paid for with property taxes. Instead, the bond will be paid for with landfill user fees.

“The current affair of the landfill right now, we’re projecting it will operate until about 2023-24,” said Bill Stout, solid waste supervisor. To lengthen the

amount of time Glendale’s landfill can operate, the bond would be used for a planned expansion. From the bond, $8 million would be put toward the development of a liner, a barrier used to stop a landfill from contaminating the groundwater.

The fourth bond question asks for $9.3 million to handle flood controlling and drainage.

“The main objective on our projects is to improve roadway travel during rain events,” said Jayme Chapin, land development engineer.

Chapin also said the bond will be used to help improve Glendale’s storm sewer system, adding on to the system already in place with a 10-year implementation plan.

While the interest rates can reach 8% according to Glendale’s city analysis, the actual interest rates have the chance of being lower for the bonds on the ballot. Interest rates are at historic lows, currently centering around just 1%.

Glendale will have more debt with the authorization of these bonds, but the city is also working on paying off its debt at the same time. Glendale’s current outstanding debt is at $100.4 million.

“The amount of the proposed bond authorization, combined with the current outstanding debt, would exceed the city’s constitutional debt limit,” said Vicki Rios, assistant city manager. “The city is paying off some existing debt that will keep the amount of outstanding bonds below the constitutional debt limits, and we can assure you that no bonds can or will be issued that would cause the city to exceed the constitutional debt limit.” Rios went through some projections with different interest rates.

At a September meeting, Rios said with the assumption of a 5% interest rate, the annual tax impact on a residence valued at $250,000 would be $172.44 if all four questions pass.

However, she also described a 3.5% model that would allow the city to add these proposed bonds without increasing taxes on residents.

Thank you

Late-night crash kills teenager, 20-year-old

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF A 14-year-old boy and 20-year-old woman died after a three-vehicle, latenight crash on Glendale Avenue Saturday, Oct. 17.

According to Tiffany Ngalula of the Glendale Police Department, at 11:30 p.m. Oct. 17, “A black sedan with two occupants was traveling westbound on Glendale Avenue at a high rate of speed and rear-ended another black sedan carrying three occupants, traveling in the same lane and direction.”

She said the vehicle hit from behind collided with a third vehicle head-on.

A 29-year-old woman driving the vehicle that rear-ended the second vehicle was transported to a hospital with injuries that were not life threatening.

The driver of the rear-ended vehicle also was taken to the hospital with injuries that also were not life threatening.

But two passengers in the rear-ended vehicle died: a 14-year-old boy in the back seat and Jadalynn Faith Pasion, a 20-year-old Goodyear resident who was

in the front passenger seat.

“Detectives were able to determine that both speed and impairment appear to be factors of the collision. The investigation is ongoing at this time,” said Ngalula.

The driver of the third vehicle sustained minor injuries and did not go to the hospital, Ngalula said.

Early ballots were mailed starting Wednesday, Oct. 7.

For the Nov. 3 election, voters have three options: • By mail — The recommended deadline to mail back an early ballot is Oct. 27.

• In person — Voters can drop off signed early ballot packets at any Vote Center or secure ballot drop box through Nov. 3.

All voting locations will follow strict physical distancing and cleaning guidelines, according to the county.

Oct. 23 is the last day to request a ballot in the mail.

To check early ballot voting status and more, visit recorder.maricopa.gov/ elections.

Glendale ballots will allow residents to vote on the presidential race as well as U.S. Senate and House of Representatives races.

In the much-publicized U.S. Senate race, incumbent Sen. Martha McSally is challenged by Democrat Mark Kelly.

In the 3rd Congressional District, which stretches from Tucson to Litchfield Park, Raúl Grijalva—a Democrat incumbent since 2002—faces Republican challenger Daniel Wood.

In the 7th Congressional District, which includes part of Tolleson and Glendale, Ruben Gallego, the Democrat incumbent, faces a challenge from Republican Josh Barnett.

“As a business owner and family man, I have witnessed the corruption and disregard for our Constitution that is eroding liberty in our country,” Barnett says on his campaign website.

Gallego is the heavy favorite, after winning the 2018 election with more than 85% of the votes. Gallego was first elected to Congress in 2014 and reelected in 2016, with 75% of the votes in those two elections.

In the 8th Congressional District, which stretches from Goodyear to New River, including part of Glendale and Peoria, incumbent Republican Debbie Lesko is challenged by Democrat Michael Muscato, a newcomer to politics who owns a gym in Glendale.

Muscato and Lesko both live in Peoria.

Glendale will also vote on state representatives.

In Legislative District 20, Democrat Douglas Ervin challenges incumbent Arizona Sen. Paul Boyer, a Republican.

Republican incumbents Shawnna Bolick and Anthony Kern and Democrat Judy Schwiebert battle for the two Arizona House of Representatives

seats.

In Legislative District 21, Republican incumbent Kevin Payne, Republican Beverly Pingerelli and Democrat Kathy Knecht are battling for two House of Representatives seats. Incumbent Republican Sen. Rick Gray is not opposed.

In state District 22, on the ballot for reelection is Sen. David Livingston, a Republican challenged by Democrat Sarah Tyree.

Incumbents Frank Carroll and Ben Toma are on the Republican ballot for the District 22 House of Representatives seats, with Wendy Garcia and Mary “Kathleen” Honne Democrat challengers.

In state District 29, on the ballot for reelection are Democrats Richard Andrade and Cesar Chavez, facing challenges from Republicans Billy Bragg and Helen Fokszanskyj-Conti for two Arizona House of Representatives seats.

Incumbent Martin Quezada, a Democrat, is challenged by Republican John Wilson for the District 29 Arizona Senate position.

While some races are fiercely contested, Legislative District 30 is decidedly ho-hum. Robert Meza and Raquel Teran are the only two on the ballot for LD 30 House of Representatives positions, and Tony Navarrete the only name on the ballot for Arizona Senate District 30.

Ballots in the mail

The Maricopa County Department of Elections began mailing early ballots

According to Clint Hickman, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors District 4 representative and chair, “A total of 175 vote centers and 35 drop boxes have been finalized. Ballots mailed and in-person voting became available on Oct. 7.

“Seven locations are open with one of those being in District 4 at Surprise City Hall.”

Glendale ballots to include bonds, EPCOR agreement

BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Glendale voters will be asked to approve a franchise agreement with EPCOR, which operates in the west part of Glendale.

The Glendale City Council put five local issues questions on the (Image courtesy EPCOR) Nov. 3 general election ballot.

Proposition 437 asks voters to approve a franchise agreement with EPCOR Water.

This is related to the city’s aggressive annexation of former unincorporated Maricopa County land near Loop 303, as EPCOR provides water and wastewater services in that area.

EPCOR already has infrastructure in that area and is already servicing customers.”

If approved, it will only impact customers who are already being served by EPCOR or future customers west of 115th Avenue.

Most of Glendale will continue to receive water and wastewater services from the city of Glendale.

This year’s ballot also has four city bond propositions, for a $9.9 million landfill project, $87 million parks and recreation projects, $81.5 million streets projects and $9.3 flood control projects.

The bonds are related to the city’s $1.2 billion Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

The 2020-21 CIP totals $175 million.

Notable projects in the first year of the CIP include: • Pavement management of $10.2 million.

• O’Neil Park Splash Pad construction of $1.3 million.

• Public Safety building remodels of $7.7 million, including improvements to the Sine Building, Court Building and other items identified in the Public Safety Assessment.

• Reconstruction of Glendale Avenue for $13 million.

• Reconstruction of Camelback Road for $3 million.

According to Assistant City Manager Vicki Rios, “General obligation bonds have to be voter approved. Cities take them to the ballot asking voters to give you authority to issue those bonds.”

Secondary property tax pays for general obligation bonds, she added.

“If they are approved, our plan is to issue them without raising property taxes,” Rios said.

Don’t defund our police

Remember our firefighters

Glendale Star Guest Writer

Glendale Star Guest Writer

BY PAUL BOYER

After talking to residents across Phoenix and Glendale, the one thing I hear most is they want safe neighborhoods and safe communities.

That could all change in a moment depending upon decisions made at the local level.

What was once considered a fringe movement has put such safety in jeopardy.

The effects of the Defund the Police movement have become the sad reality of many Americans in major cities across the country who have watched their homes burn and their family-owned businesses destroyed.

Many residents are even terrified to go outside their homes after dark. This isn’t Baghdad or Damascus but major cities in the United States.

Which is why an overwhelming majority of residents support their local police, because they know a reduced police presence will harm those most at risk.

For example, according to a recent Gallup poll, 61% of Black Americans want the same police presence in their neighborhoods and 20% of Black Americans want more of a police presence in their neighborhoods.

So, who exactly wants to see less of a police presence?

Those who want to watch our neighborhoods burn just like Minneapolis, Portland and Seattle.

Should any of our city councils defund the police, they will damage the very neighborhoods who need a police presence the most.

Known as the “Minneapolis effect,” crime will increase exponentially, with criminals getting a free pass to wreak havoc with impunity, and more locally owned businesses will burn, all of which would take decades to rebuild.

The equation is quite simple—more

police officers equals less crime and chaos; fewer police officers equals more crime and chaos.

Consider two cities similar in size: Phoenix and Philadelphia.

While the Philadelphia Police Department has 6,400 sworn police officers who patrol a population of 1.56 million people in a 142 square mile area, Phoenix has 2,900 sworn police officers with a 1.58 million population who patrol 516 square miles.

This means the Phoenix Police Department has to cover twice the distance with less than half the police force.

So while the public expects officers to respond to serious felonies from individuals with multiple outstanding warrants in the most stressful of conditions with little to no backup and quite often with only a few hours of sleep. Further, the public judges an officer on a split-second life and death response under such stressful situations.

The least we can do is give them more support in hiring additional sworn officers, more training and vocal support.

Of course, no one, not even the officers I speak to on a regular basis, would ever say a cop who has broken the law should get a free pass.

In those cases, they should be held accountable.

“No officer wants to pull the trigger.” That’s what one officer told me when I asked him if there was one thing he thinks the public should know about law enforcement.

The best way to achieve that goal is giving officers the support where they need it most.

Republican State Sen. Paul Boyer is running for reelection in Legislative District 20.

BY DOUG ERVIN

During my decades as an accountant and business consultant, I learned that progress is often impeded when people ignore a good idea just because of the source. So, even though it is not usually politically astute to compliment your general election rival, I applaud my LD20 Senate opponent for his efforts with firefighters. My opponent and I disagree on many issues, but we both want firefighters to receive workers’ compensation benefits upon being diagnosed with cancer.

Along with the bill’s prime sponsor, he pushed for passage of SB1160 that adds to the list of cancers that are presumed to arise from a firefighter’s employment. The bill, which did not pass the Republican-controlled Legislature, would have removed the requirement that firefighters document their exposure to a known cancer-causing carcinogen and clarified that the presumption is conclusive and irrebuttable if other requirements are met.

I strongly support our firefighters and completely agree that we need to ensure these brave first responders do not have to fight for workers’ compensation coverage while battling cancer.

The presumption clarifications in the Senate bill are good, but another unfunded mandate is the last thing Arizona cities and towns need from the state.

For too long our current state legislators have avoided fiscal responsibility on important issues and pushed the burden onto others. Many fire districts and cities in Arizona are self-insured for a variety of items, including the workers’ compensation programs, and the changes mandated by SB1160 could increase costs for cities and towns. This is why I support appropriating state funds to establish a fire district risk pool and help departments

purchase protective equipment that will help keep first responders safe. Not only is this the right thing to do for our firefighters, but it is also a wise investment in our community, as it will help firefighters to get an earlier cancer diagnosis, receive prompt treatment, keep firefighters on the job, reduce future illnesses and save lives.

In March, Rep. Robert Meza proposed an amendment to the Health Budget Reconciliation Bill and eloquently spoke of our commitment to Arizona’s first responders. The onetime appropriation would have established funds for firefighter cancer research and prevention, municipal fire department reinsurance, and establishment of a fire district workers’ compensation pool. Unfortunately, leaders of the Republican party prevented any discussion of these much-needed measures, citing earlier agreements, chamber rules and expediency.

Next year, legislators will have to make difficult budget decisions on how to best address issues related to the pandemic, job growth, education and other immediate funding needs.

During these negotiations, we need to remember our brave first responders.

They have dedicated their lives to protecting ours, so we have an obligation to support our firefighters as they fight cancer.

It is time to fully address this issue, so we need elected officials who will work together, avoid partisan politics and pass reforms that ensure first responders who contract cancer get the workers’ compensation benefits they deserve and allocate the funds necessary for Arizona to live up to our obligation to heroic firefighters.

READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTER TO THE EDITOR

In support of Mundell

Editor: I firmly support William A. “Bill” Mundell for the Arizona Corporation Commission.

My focus on commission candidates is less on policy positions than it is on honesty, intelligence and fairness. I have worked with Bill. Great integrity.

Devoted to the commission’s responsibilities. Always sought to protect Arizona ratepayers/consumers while adhering to the requirements of Arizona law.

Unafraid to vote “yes” when the evidence/analysis supported it, and equal-

ly unafraid to vote “no” when it did not. As an attorney, Bill is a great fit for the commission’s judicial-like nature.

His steadfast and studious approach to all matters is needed.

Mundell has my support (as does Justin Olson) because of his character and abilities. The commission’s checkered history is reason enough to take the role more seriously and pick the best men and women to serve.

Bill Mundell, regardless of party affiliation, has earned my support to return to the Corporation Commission.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Mobilitas Insurance, a new Glendale commercial insurance company, is partnering with Lyft to provide ride-sharing commercial insurance coverage in 11 states.

“We are excited to partner with Lyft to provide insurance solutions that help protect the rapidly evolving needs of the mobility market,” said Eric Ummel, general manager of Mobilitas Insurance.

“Mobilitas understands the risks of the on-demand, sharing economy and is partnering with companies to develop customized insurance products to best protect their business needs.”

Mobilitas is at 5353 W. Bell Road.

According to a Mobilitas spokesman, “Currently, nearly all of our employees are working remotely due to the shelter-in-place orders. However, as our business needs continue to grow, we anticipate adding a number of

new Glendale-based positions—from claims and technology to marketing and operations.”

Mobilitas is focused on creating custom-built insurance solutions for businesses and individuals in the sharing and mobility space.

“Lyft is excited to broaden its rideshare insurance partnerships, resulting in a panel of highly trusted auto carriers,” said Curtis Scott, vice president of Risk at Lyft.

“We recognize a tremendous opportunity to innovate in the emerging on-demand and sharing economy to meet the unique needs of this segment, and we believe it represents one of the largest growth opportunities of the future,” said Ummel.

Mobilitas has a financial strength rating of “A” (excellent) from AM Best, the insurance industry’s primary financial rating firm.

those were two well-coached (and) structured football teams.”

Garretson cited Liberty’s 30-0 whooping of 2019 6A runner-up Red Mountain as a surprising blowout. But to Garretson, being on the receiving ends of blowouts like that don’t mean anything for the rest of their season.

Garretson mentioned Centennial, the Wolves’ week five opponent, as an example of a team with a great coaching staff with resilient players. Centennial was dismantled by Hamilton, 42-0, in week one before beating Mountain Pointe 37-0.

“Obviously, they bounce back from a 42-0 (loss) and I’m sure they’re going to be a different team when we play them in week five than they were in week one,” Garretson said. “Good coaching staffs and experienced coaching staffs know how to get their kids (to turn it around), and one game’s not going to make you or break you for a season. …

I do know this when we go play Centennial: If we don’t come to play, we’ll have issues.”

Taylor, meanwhile, classified his team’s rebound and beatdown of Mountain Pointe as a character-building win.

“We have kids with character,” Taylor said. “As tough and embarrassing as (the loss to Hamilton) was, the kids, rather than just throwing up their hands and feeling like there’s nothing that they could do, they prepared mentally better, and they paid a lot more attention to their scouting reports and were much more focused. In a way, Hamilton did us a favor.”

After the early blowout loss, Centennial rebounded to control Williams Field in a 14-8 victory that raised the Coyotes record to 2-1.

Liberty High fell to 1-2 after a fourpoint loss Sunrise Mountain, which is undefeated.

Ironwood has a showdown at 7 p.m.

Glencroft seniors travel without leaving Glendale

BY JAKARIA ROSS

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

While many senior centers have been “locked down” for months during the COVID-19 pandemic, at Glencroft Center for Modern Aging in Glendale, seniors have been flying around the world—thanks to virtual reality.

The VR technology allows for residents to venture nearly anywhere in the world. They can visit their hometowns, climb mountains and even deep-sea dive with aquatic wildlife.

“I went swimming with the fish, and that was something I would have never been able to do. It was so fun! Then, I wanted to go to Israel and see the hotel on top of the Mount of Olives Square,” said Annette Wright, a Glencroft resi-

dent who is 90 years old.

The world has suddenly become an accessible place for seniors at Glencroft.

“One of my favorite places I’ve always wanted to go to was Italy, especially to Rome. I really enjoy traveling, and there’s a couple of places that I plan on visiting, ” said Robin Lyons, 78 and a Glencroft resident for eight years. “It’s fun to be able to go someplace that I physically couldn’t go to and to be able to see things that clearly.

I was just amazed.”

Glencrot calls the new program “Coastal Distancing,” allowing residents to travel and enjoy extreme movement safely.

The residents can “climb” Machu

Stand Against Tyranny. Stand With Trump.

“Our Historic Way of Life is at Stake” Open Letter from Military Leaders to the American People

As senior leaders of America’s military, we took an oath to defend the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic. At present, our country is now confronted with enemies here and abroad, as well as a once in a century pandemic.

As retired military officers, we believe that Donald J. Trump has been tested as few other presidents have and is the proven leader to confront these dangers.

With the Democratic Party welcoming to socialists and Marxists, our historic way of life is at stake. …The Democrats have once again pledged to cut defense spending, undermining our military strength. The Democrats’ opposition to border security, their pledge to return to the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, their antagonism towards the police and planned cuts to military spending will leave the United States more vulnerable to foreign enemies.

Flying safely in the friendly or not-so-friendly skies One of the highlights of my life was learning how to fly. It was quite a process. As a future private pilot, I had to go to flight school and learn how to fly by the book. Next, I had to pass the written test. After that, I started taking flying lessons in a real plane. That was different from just knowing the theory of flying and passing a test. Soon my experience caught up with my book learning, and off I went flying all over Arizona to places like Payson, Sedona, Tucson and Flagstaff for work and play.

One of the biggest concerns for any pilot is flying into cloudy, low-visibility or turbulent conditions. Pilots can lose the horizon and get something called vertigo. When one has vertigo, they quickly lose their ability to know whether they are flying up or down or turning. A pilot can think they are flying level, but they are in a spin or about to stall or be in a dangerous attitude.

Their feelings are not reliable, because they lost the horizon when flying in clouds.

What do the pilots do to manage these types of conditions? They train to fly by their airplane by instruments

in the plane. That rating is called Instrument Flight Rated, or IFR. IFR pilots understand their senses are not reliable when they lose the horizon. So, no matter what their senses tell them, they fly by the plane’s instruments.

Instruments don’t lie. Instruments don’t care about feelings. Instruments inform the pilot about the plane’s real attitude to make the right decisions in a bad situation. Flying through stormy skies and turbulent times is very manageable for someone who knows what to trust and what to do to come out alive.

There is a good lesson for us in this.

Life is easy when we are in prosperous or good times. We can see clearly, and everything seems under control. However, when we get into cloudy IFR conditions, we had better not rely on our disoriented feelings. Why? Trust-

ing disorientated feelings causes vertigo. Like many pilots who have crashed from flight and fright vertigo when flying into cloudy and tumultuous conditions, people can get spiritual, intellectual or emotional vertigo. As a result, we make vertigo-based decisions, spin downward and out of control, and crash hard.

What’s the solution to this? Learn how to fly by the instruments in turbulent times. If you aren’t Instrument Flight Rated, the friendly skies can quickly become unfriendly skies. But to the Instrument Flight Rated flier, unfriendly skies become manageable until you get back to clear skies.

Did you know that God gave us the perfect instrument for flying in IFR conditions? It’s called the Bible. The Bible is like the instruments on an airplane. The Bible is there to guide us into all truth, giving us a godly outcome. It gives us the accurate readings we require for the life-giving decisions we will need to make during life’s challenges.

Life is like flying an airplane. There

will be “ups and downs” and lots of turbulence. In the up times, maximize the opportunities by getting wisdom from the Bible. In the down times, focus on the instruments and don’t be influenced by vertigo-based feelings.

The God of the Word speaks through the Word of God. God is saying, “Trust me, trust me, trust me! Don’t adjust me. Trust me!”

Now many of you know something about the Bible. But knowing the Bible and doing what the Bible says to do are two different things. That IFR pilot can’t just know what to do. That IFR pilot must do what he/she knows to do.

The pilot needs to get a firm grasp on the plane’s yoke and steer it according to the instruments.

The Bible talks about getting a firm grasp of God’s word, just like a pilot firmly grasps a plane’s wheel when flying in IFR conditions. How do you do SEE DELPH PAGE 25

that?

Let’s think conceptually for a moment. Look at your hand. You have four fingers and one thumb. Let’s say you’re that pilot grasping the yoke or steering mechanism to steer it through a storm.

Picture yourself holding the steering wheel (yoke) with your index finger.

What would happen? The turbulence you’re encountering would rip the wheel right out of your hands. Your index finger is not strong enough to steer the plane. Let’s add your middle finger to your index finger. Now you are closer to piloting the plane. Let’s add your ring finger to the wheel. That’s better but not enough. Now, add your pinky finger to the wheel. Better, but not by much. Now add your thumb with your four fingers and firmly grasp the wheel. Now you have a firm grasp on the steering wheel so you can fly by the instruments and safely land at your destination.

The same is valid for getting a firm grasp on God’s word. Your index finger is hearing God’s word (Luke 8:15).

But listening to sermons in a church is a great start but not the whole process. Next comes your middle finger, which is reading God’s word (1 Timothy 4:13). Then comes the ring finger, which is studying God’s word (2 Timothy 2:15). Now you’re starting to get a grip on God’s word. Add your pinky finger. That’s meditating on God’s word (Psalm 119:15). And finally, the thumb is memorizing God’s word (Psalm 119:16). Memorizing pulls everything together and makes your knowledge ready to use at a moment’s notice.

Now you have a firm grasp and can fly by the instrument of God’s word.

Those unfriendly skies were friendly skies in disguise, when managed correctly by you, the informed pilot.

Remember, fellow pilots: We’re not moved by what we feel. We’re only moved by the word that’s real.

Peoria Unified launches COVID-19 dashboard

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Peoria Unified School District had two COVID-19 “outbreaks” last week—although that is hardly as dire as it sounds.

As the PUSD website notes, “Maricopa County Department of Public Health defines an outbreak as two positive COVID-19 cases within a 14-day period who do not share a household.”

As of Oct. 17, the county said there were 28 school outbreaks, with 77 students and 33 school staff either testing positive or having close contact with someone who tested positive.

Since reopening classrooms in late September, PUSD has required all students and staff to wear masks, encouraged social distancing and provided ex-

tra cleaning.

Even so, PUSD had two of the school outbreaks.

According to Erin Dunsey, a PUSD spokeswoman, “Maricopa County designated Sun Valley Elementary School as having an outbreak on Thursday, Oct. 8.

“Additionally, MCDPH designated the Sunflower Center, a school located on Canyon Elementary School’s campus, as having an outbreak Oct. 15.”

Letters were sent to staff and families “who may be close contacts.”

PUSD Superintendent Dr. Jason Reynolds was asked about the cases by The Glendale Star.

“As schools and businesses have reopened, we did anticipate seeing the

Despite requiring students and staff to wear masks, encouraging social distancing and providing extra cleaning, PUSD has had several COVID-19 cases since reopening classrooms in late September.

numbers fluctuate, not just in our district but across the state,” Reynolds said. “We continue to remind our employees and families to practice good hygiene and be mindful of the mitigation procedures we have in place.

“Our goal has been to continue to provide an engaging learning environment in a safe environment for every student.

We know we need to work together as a community to get through this and to each do our part to maintain safe schools.”

PUSD has launched a “COVID-19 dashboard” on the “return to school” tab of its website.

According to the dashboard, “The purpose of this data is to provide Peoria Unified families and staff with a transparent summary of active COVID-19 cases by school. An active case indicates that an individual was on site/campus and has tested positive for COVID-19.”

On Oct. 19, the site said Centennial and Sunrise Mountain high schools and Desert Valley Elementary School each had one COVID-19 case and Liberty High and Oakwood Elementary schools each had two cases.

According to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, “Maricopa County disease investigators have been learning more about COVID-19 symptoms in children as they talk with

families of school-aged children who have tested positive for COVID-19.”

According to MCDPH, the findings include: • The majority (over 75%) of all children with positive COVID-19 tests reported at least one symptom.

• The most common symptoms reported are fever, headache, fatigue, muscle aches, cold symptoms or diarrhea.

• Preschool children have fewer symptoms overall, with fever being the most common symptom.

• Of those with symptoms, more than half of elementary schoolaged children reported fever and/or headache.

• Children age 12 and over reported more symptoms overall, over half reporting fatigue, headache, muscle aches and loss of taste and smell.

According to PUSD, when the district discovers a student or staff has COVID-19, “We immediately notify our Facilities Department to take appropriate measures to ensure any areas potentially exposed by this individual are thoroughly cleaned, including hightouch areas like doorknobs and countertops, and with the use of our Clorox 360 machine to disinfect the entire area.”

Students and staff with COVID-19 are required to quarantine at home for a minimum of 14 days.

ment due to potentially unsafe conditions they believe existed at 6648 W. Nancy Road in Glendale, Arizona. After meeting with Glendale Police and conducting an initial investigation, numerCLASSIFIEDS ous conditions were found to be Imminently unsafe. Conditions noted at the time include, but are not limited to: Significant accumulation of personal belongings and rubbish that severely, if not completely, block required emergency egress paths, inside and outside the structure, including the blocking of egress windows on the outside. The home is in an insanitary condition. Improper use of extension cords inside and outside. Animal hording inside & outside the structure. Significant rot and deterioration of structure including wood roof framing and supporting posts at exterior.

Front awning is not secured and could become airborne. Rear storage sheds being used illegally as dwelling units.

There is evidence inside the structure of a serious roof leak and the ceiling in the living room is failing. No working smoke detectors were found inside the structure. It should be noted that a complete investigation of the premises could not be completed due to a lack of access to some portions of the structure due to accumulations of debris and belongings.

These conditions are considered imminently unsafe per International Building Code (IBC) sections 116.2 and 116.5.1 and violate IBC sections 116.3.1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 20.

These conditions are a nuisance and must be immediately abated, either by repair or demolition, as required by IBC section 116.5.2.2. The structure was posted as Unsafe to Enter on May 30, 2019.
