The Glendale City Council reappointed John Burkholder, a veteran city judge, to a four-year term at its Oct. 27 meeting. Council also appointed Nicholas DiPiazza to a two-year term as presiding city judge. Prior to his appointment, DiPiazza served as the deputy city attorney to the Glendale Police Department as legal advisor. Council unanimously appointed DiPiazza with no comments and no questions from the public. “I pledge to earn your trust every day,” DiPiazza said. The meeting went over a wide array of subjects, spanning 32 items, including the
reappointment of Burkholder, who has served as a city judge in Glendale since 1995. His previous term expired Oct. 31. “Based on the results of his reappointment interview, letters of recommendation received on his behalf, confidential survey results and other materials, it was widely recommended that the council reappoint Burkholder to another term,” said Jim Brown, Glendale’s director of human resources. Council also approved a request by the developer of a 65-acre project called Desert River II at the northwest corner of 99th Avenue and Desert River Boulevard. The location is between Northern and Glendale avenues in the central part of the city. A minor general plan amendment and
rezoning changes the site from business park to entertainment mixed use and allows for a variety of development. According to a Glendale Planning Commission report, the developer requests increasing maximum heights from 30 feet to 150 feet. “Desert River II will provide a mix of commercial, office, retail, hotel and multi-family uses,” the report said. The site is to include “walking paths, bicycling lanes, outdoor gathering spaces and multi-use trails to link business park, multi-family and supportive retail uses, thereby creating a unique and dynamic working and shopping environment which will attract high-paying and diverse emSEE JUDGES PAGE 4

Trump ‘MAGA’ rally hits Goodyear BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF To roars of “four more years,” a grinning, waving President Donald Trump took the makeshift stage at Phoenix Goodyear Airport Wednesday, Oct. 28. “That’s a lot of people,” he remarked, acknowledging the applause. “Wow, thank you very much. And hello, Goodyear!” Less than a week before the election, an energetic Trump—less than a month after being hospitalized for COVID-19—ranged from chatting casually to barking out rallying cries. “Six days from now we are going to win Arizona and win four more years in our great, beautiful White House,” he told the crowd. Trump promised “we will deliver record prosperity, epic job growth and a safe vaccine that quickly ends the virus—the China plague is what it is. ... We are going to be stronger than we have ever before. “Next year is going to be the best economic year in our country’s history.” He vowed to “make America great again, again.” When Trump brought up his opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, the crowd chanted, “Lock him up! Lock him up!” Trump said a vote for Biden means “massive tax increases.” He downplayed the many polls showing him far behind Biden: “Four years ago, they had me 12 points behind,” Trump said with a dismissive shrug. With many in the crowd wearing “Latinos for Trump” T-shirts, Trump said, “My poll numbers are through the roof with Hispanic Americans. I always knew they’d like me. “Over the last four years I’ve been delivering for Hispanic Americans like never before. And Hispanic American unemployment reached all-time lows prior to the pandemic.” Some in the crowd erupted in a “Latinos for Trump” chant. “Today I’m announcing the American Dream Plan,” Trump said. “Over the next four years the American Dream Plan will bring more than 2 million jobs to Hispanic communities, create more than a half million new Hispanic-owned small businesses—which

will end up being large businesses if I know you. ... More Hispanic families will be able to buy a home and afford quality health care.” He predicted “we’re going to win a record number of Hispanic votes.” Trump predicted Nov. 3 would be just like it was four years ago. “In 2016 ... you elected an outsider as president, who is finally putting
America first,” Trump said. “And if I don’t sound like a typical Washington politician, it’s because I’m not a typical Washington politician.” Promising “we are going to keep on winning, winning, winning,” Trump concluded with a succinct message for a key swing state: “Thank you, Arizona. Go out and vote.”

The meeting lasted 45 minutes. There were no comments made by citizens at the end of the meeting. Mayor Jerry Weiers congratulated the council on the efficient meeting. “This has been kind of like the game that the Cardinals just had. This is one for the books. It’s been awesome. ...

ber after a year of negotiations. “It’s a great piece of land. It’s got a crazy history—people have been trying to future it out for the last 10 years,” Harris said. “Obviously, it’s a hot part of town, being in the Entertainment District.” Harris said Diversified Partners/En Fuego has reached lease deals with Raising Cane’s, Starbucks and Jack in the Box—“all confirmed and in the process of being built.” She said a Barro’s Pizza and “Mexican concept” restaurant will also be in En Fuego, as well as “a high-end sports bar that’s the first of its kind.” She said the sports bar deal with a Northwest restaurateur has not been finalized. The biggest piece of En Fuego also is nearing a final deal, according to Harris. “We have a hotel currently in escrow,” she said. “It’s on the west side of the property.” According to Harris, a few restaurants may open in December, with other businesses launching by spring. Though a few spaces are still being sold, Harris said close to 90% of En Fuego’s 12-acre project is booked or negotiations are in process. How was En Fuego able to charge

ahead during the pandemic? “The city of Glendale’s been awesome to work with. They’ve really been super supportive—it’s made it that much easier to move forward,” Harris said. She said the city was convinced early in the project “it was the best fit for the area.” On the other side, developer Brown’s vision is coming to fruition. “It was easy to see it was a great location. Walt has a great eye for land but the amount of energy around it exceeded everyone’s expectation,” Harris said, alluding to the lagoon project. Though Crystal Lagoons remains in the preliminary stages, to the north of En Fuego, Desert Diamond Casino West Valley bounced back from a pandemic closure in its first year of operation. With the casino north and Westgate and State Farm Stadium south, “it was a major hole in the middle of that,” Harris said. Diversified Partners views the eating and shopping center filling as a complement to Westgate, but with its own identity: “It’s got it’s own brand,” Harris said. “That’s why we named it En Fuego.”

Muscato snags endorsement, trails Lesko in fundraising
BY SOPHIA PARSA
In the heavily Republican 8th Congressional District, Lesko was elected in 2018, winning 55% of the votes against Hiral Tipirneni. Seeking his first term, Muscato grew up in Phoenix and prides himself on being a lifelong resident of the community. “Arizona’s Congressional District 8 has a unique historical opportunity to elect a Congressman born and raised in this district,” Muscato told voters in a letter. Muscato promised to push for immigration reform, student debt relief, increases in the minimum wage and environmental protection. During the campaign, Muscato created a task force to help seniors during the pandemic. Muscato said that his “CD8 task force” would “assist seniors in need with the delivery of food and medication supplies, no matter what political party.” Stephanie Holbrook, a West Valley resident, applauded Muscato’s efforts to provide an avenue for neighbors to support each other through difficult times. “I think volunteer projects like this help unite the community. I believe leadership in this way will help District 8 become more cohesive,” Holbrook said.

The National Association of Social Workers endorsed Michael Muscato, the Democrat candidate for Arizona’s 8th Congressional District, which stretches from New River to Goodyear, including parts of Peoria, Glendale and Litchfield Park. The NASW is the largest membership organization of professional social workers in the world, with more than 110,000 members, including the Arizona chapter. Muscato earlier secured the support of Common Defense, the Sierra Club and Democrats Work for America. Muscato, who is challenging Republican Rep. Debbie Lesko, said he is “humbled and honored” by the social workers’ endorsement. According to campaign financing website opensecrets.com, Muscato raised $381,201 from individuals, none of which came from special interest groups. Lesko raised nearly $1.5 million, with more than $350,000 from political action committees.

Prop 207 could mean more jobs, tax revenue BY BRIAN CANO SR.
Glendale Star Staff Writer
On Election Day, Arizonans were to decide on Proposition 207. If approved, it would make recreational marijuana possession legal for adults in 2021. If passed, the Smart and Safe Arizona Act, also known as Proposition 207, is projected to bring in over $200 million to local governments through a 16% excise tax that will be distributed to police and fire departments, community colleges and state infrastructure, according to azleg.gov. If the ballot initiative passes, the cannabis industry could see the expansion of existing markets and the opening of new ones in 2021. Medical marijuana dispensaries would be able to apply for licenses to sell recreational marijuana. “We anticipate our business will double pretty much immediately,” said Ryan Hurley of Sun City’s Sol Flower Medical Marijuana Dispensary. “We’re hiring now in anticipation of this passing.” Steve White, founder and CEO of
Tempe-bases Harvest Health & Recreation, said he expects to experience a similar hiring expansion into the West Valley. Harvest HOC of Avondale Dispensary is at 3828 S. Vermeersch Road. “Harvest currently has over 1,000 employees with about 600 employees located in Arizona. If Prop 207 passes, we will need to add employees in cultivation and manufacturing, retail and corporate to help service additional demand and future growth,” White said via email. Sara Presler of Debbie’s Dispensary in Peoria said the windfall from cannabis sales could help pay for vital behavioral
health needs, keep the most vulnerable people out of the criminal justice system and increase much-needed access to resources and services. “The proposition will create millions of dollars annually for the Department of Health Services and projects related to addiction, prevention, substance abuse treatment, suicide prevention, mental health programs,” Presler said. “There will be $300 million projected annually to fund community colleges, public safety and public health, roads and highways. So we’re not just talking about cannabis business jobs. We’re talking about improving the general welfare of Arizona,” she added. But, according to an Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the West Valley has plenty of reasons to oppose Proposition 207. “Proposition 207 caps the marijuana tax at 16%. Arizona’s lawmakers will have to figure out how to battle the negative consequences of recreational
marijuana with no hope of taxing those who are making millions,” Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry President and CEO Glenn Hamer said. Additionally, Hamer wrote, “If it passes, Proposition 207 permanently locks Arizona into this social experiment at the expense of our kids, our roads and our economy. The industry gets rich while Arizonans suffer the consequences.” Those in the marijuana industry disagree with that view. Hurley said legalized marijuana is a market that will change as consumer preferences evolve as neighboring states legalize or consider changing their cannabis policy. “I think prohibition of cannabis has proven to be a drastic failure of a policy. And there’s a number of states that have taken a different approach and that approach is working,” Hurley said. “The economic benefits, the tax benefits, those things to me, are all icing on the cake.”

Glendale launches Foster Youth to Independence program BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF An estimated 25% of those who leave the foster care system experience homelessness. To help break that cycle, the city of Glendale recently launched the Foster Youth to Independence Initiative. The federal-local partnership is aimed at stopping homelessness for those aging out of the foster care system. Also known as FYI, the program provides vouchers to help cover rental expenses for program participants. Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers was joined by members of the city’s Community Services Department, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Regional Administrator Christopher Patterson and others in announcing the launch of the program. “Partnerships are critically important and the Foster Youth to Independence Initiative shows how multiple agencies,
thinking creatively, can tackle major problems,” Weiers said. “This program not only addresses the issue of homelessness; it gives foster youth a solid foundation on which to build productive and successful lives.” HUD Regional Administrator Christopher Patterson agreed with they mayor. “Under Mayor Weiers’ leadership, The future looks bright for former foster youth in the city,” Patterson said. He said the program has helped 800 young adults across the country. Precious Roman, 19, was Glendale’s first recipient of an FYI Initiative voucher. “I went from one friend’s house to another friend’s house after leaving foster care,” Roman said. “It was scary. I just wanted stability, and this program allows me to have a place to call home and feel safe.” Two dozen other young adults will receive FYI vouchers in Glendale.

County boosts food banks, offers more pandemic assistance BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Maricopa County continues to distribute the nearly $400 million it received in federal CARES funds, targeted to alleviate the financial pain suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Board of Supervisors has approved funding for programs to help individuals and businesses, including: • Rental assistance: Households can receive rental assistance payments for past due or owed rent for the months of March to December 2020. More than 1,700 households have received assistance to date, with more than $5 million in rent payments distributed so far. • Utility assistance: Households can receive up to $1,000 to help cover electric and gas bills. • Business and nonprofit grants: Grants of up to $25,000 are available to small businesses and nonprofits experiencing financial hardship during the pandemic. More than $22 million in grants have been distributed so far.
Maricopa County received $399 million from the U.S. Treasury as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). The purpose of this money is to cover expenditures related to the public health emergency. Last month, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved $5 million in funding to support nonprofit social service agencies. Administered by the Arizona Community Foundation, the funds will provide between 25 and 200 grants, with awards ranging from $25,000 to $200,000 each. To support food banks experiencing increased demand from residents due to financial hardships caused by the pandemic, the county has allocated $3 million to the Arizona Food Bank Network. From those funds, the Network will administer small and large grants to St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance, United Food Bank and Desert Mission Food Bank and their community partners. “By working with our valued part-

As COVID-19 cases surge anew, some towns lift mask mandates BY JOSH ORTEGA Cronkite News
Payson Mayor Tom Morrisey thinks mask wearing is one of the best ways to stop the spread of COVID-19 in his town—but he doesn’t want to force residents to do it. While Maricopa County continues to have a mask mandate, Payson is one of a number of local governments that have lifted face mask ordinances in recent weeks, even as infections in the county and state have started to surge again. One health expert said relaxing mask mandates now is “foolish” for local officials who want to reopen their communities, because it could lead to a surge that might bring on new, harsher shutdowns. The moves come as COVID-19 infections have started climbing again, after dropping from a seven-day average of 3,454 cases per day in early July to 392 in early September. But the number has steadily grown since then, reaching a seven-day average of 1,002 new cases per day recently, according to data from the Arizona Department of Health Services. The shift sparked a warning from Dr.
Cara Christ, director of the state health department, who cautioned Arizonans from becoming complacent and losing ground from the progress the state has made since July. “With the data showing COVID-19 still circulating in our community, Arizonans need to remain vigilant,” Christ said. She urged all Arizonans to wear a mask in public, socially distance, wash hands frequently, avoid large gatherings, stay home if they are feeling sick and get a flu shot. “We know that masks are one of the most effective methods for preventing COVID-19 transmission, and we urge all Arizonans to appropriately wear a mask, whether or not they live in an area with a mandate,” she said. “There’s still more to do, and we can’t let our guard down.” Gov. Doug Ducey has shied away from a statewide mask mandate.

Smaller veterans celebration BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Unlike previous years, such as last year’s full day of ceremonies and events, Glendale will have a smaller Veterans Day celebration, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Mayor Jerry Weiers and the Glendale Chamber of Commerce’s Military and Veterans Affairs Committee will honor active military and veterans with a brief
flag-raising ceremony at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11. The event will take place in the Veterans Memorial Garden at Glendale Main Library. Social distancing and mask wearing will be required. Additionally, for those avoiding crowds, the ceremony will be live on the city’s and chamber’s Facebook pages.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Property owners can apply for a new program that assists their renters. Glendale City Council approved a program designed to keep tenants in their homes and protect property owners adversely affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The Property Owner Preservation program allows landlords to apply for federally funded assistance on behalf of their tenants. The city allocated $782,053 for the program. The application period began Nov. 1 and ends Nov. 15. For more information or to apply, visit GlendaleAZ.com/POP. “Many renters, who have suffered job losses or wage cuts, may not fully understand the process for applying for renter assistance funds,” Community Services Director Jean Moreno said. “This plan allows both single-fami-
ly and multi-family landlords to apply on behalf of residents, keeping tenants in place and protecting landlords from further losses.” The program will cover payments for up to six months with a maximum of $2,000 per month, per unit. Preference points are given to individual single-family rental owners with four units or fewer. Funds will be distributed through a lottery of approved applications and prioritized by preference points. “Glendale is aware of how hard this pandemic has been on both landlords and tenants,” Glendale Mayor Jerry P. Weiers said. “I am proud of how quickly staff thought outside the box to not only create an entirely new program but also get it up and running to help landlords protect their property while keeping tenants in their homes.” Funding for the program is provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

Using a Blumism to decide presidential vote
BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
In the end, with the 2020 ballot on my kitchen table, I took advice from a dead man, a doctor from Scottsdale I never met, Dr. Jay Blum. A pulmonologist and critical care doctor by trade, Blum, a father of three, died in May, but I only recently read his obituary. It left an impression. Dr. Blum grew up in Valley Stream, New York, a few miles from JFK airport and near where I was born. He attended the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis before transferring to a university far away geographically and in perspective—Berkeley. He graduated summa cum laude, then headed to New York University for medical school. There he met his wife, Jane, a nurse. It was “love at first sight,” Blum’s obituary proclaims.
They were married 47 years, until a massive heart attack took Jay. Dr. Blum’s medical career was a distinguished one, by all accounts—and my research took me to several. He risked his practice to fight the Arizona Board of Medical Examiners in the 1970s over the right to stop prolonging the suffering of the terminally ill. He presented his research on treating lung cancer across the country and in France. As an associate professor at the U of A med school and later as chief of general medicine at the Phoenix VA, Blum took pride in schooling generations of doctors. “Blumisms,” they called his nuggets of wisdom. The good doctor had one final Blumism, a line he asked his son Matthew to pass along to the rest of us. “Don’t be angry by my passing, but if you must, be angry at Trump.”
GAMBLE’S OPINION – King Features
It’s true. Jay Blum was a Berkeley liberal straight to the end. I’m not, given that I voted for Republican candidates like County Supervisor Bill Gates and County Attorney Alistair Adel this go-round, but I agree with Blum on this much: I am angry at President Trump. Angry about the hatred, the lies, the ineptitude on COVID-19, the use of the Supreme Court as a political weapon. So angry I could not in good conscience give him four more years. But here’s the thing: I’m also angry at the Democrats and the sleepwalking gent they’ve pushed to the front of their ranks. The best thing I can say about Joe Biden is that he seems like a good guy to have a beer with. That’s something in 2020. But I believe his party is wrong on taxes, wrong on health care, wrong on racial politics, wrong on law enforcement. The further left the Dems tack, toward Bernie Sanders and that ilk, the faster they lose me. With due respect and love to Dr. Blum, they call his alma mater “Berzerkeley” for a reason. That’s not my
vision for America. So I wrote in a name. I chose someone who would not want the position should the gig be offered. I made my choice based on what scouts in professional sports call the “best available athlete” theory. Rather than hire for a specific skill set, teams select the most elite athlete on the market, in hopes they can be trained and grow into the role. What do I want in a president? Common sense would be refreshing. So would problem-solving skills based on sound advice from across the spectrum of ideas. Empathy, work ethic, heart. Chiefly, I’m seeking the ability to see past party politics not every once in a while, but every day in an effort to heal these United States. There’s little doubt Dr. Blum would have disagreed with the choice he inspired six months after his death, but we would have enjoyed the argument. May that kind stranger rest in peace.

Concerns about decline in kindergarten students BY DR. LILY MATOS DEBLIEUX Glendale Star Guest Writer
With great dismay, I read the article on KTAR radio’s website by reporter Griselda Zetino on Oct. 26 entitled, “Drop in Arizona students enrolled in kindergarten raises concerns.” As the superintendent of the Pendergast School District located in the West Valley cities of Avondale, Glendale and Phoenix, we, as educators, believe kindergarten is essential for our scholars to succeed. It is the foundation and lays the groundwork for a successful path to a quality educational experience for years to come. Our school board and administration have provided full-day kindergarten in all of our 12 schools, paid for through our budget override. Since the state only funds half-day kindergarten, districts like ours need to find additional funding, and we are fortunate our community has supported this effort that has paid huge dividends. With the pandemic upon us now ap-
proaching eight months, many parents are choosing to postpone kindergarten at a rate of 14% lower enrollment across the state according to KTAR. People may think, “Well, it’s just kindergarten, and what could they possibly learn?” Here are some of the standards from the Arizona Department of Education that all Arizona schools are required to teach in kindergarten. These are merely the English language arts, not taking into account math, science, social studies, technology, fine arts and social/emotional learning. Arizona’s English Language Arts Standards work together in a clear progression from kindergarten through 12th grade. These are the general headings and do not take into account the 29 additional sub-headings for learning under each standard. • Reading Standards for Literature.
• Reading Standards for Informational Text. • Reading Standards: Foundational Skills. • Writing Standards. • Speaking and Listening Standards. • Language Standards. We believe kindergarten is essential for all students in Arizona, especially now. A fact parents may not be familiar with is that if families choose to keep their child out of kindergarten this year, when they enroll next year, they will be placed in first grade and may fall far behind their peers in learning. In Pendergast District, we are using distance learning programs at this time and each student is provided with a Chromebook and internet connectivity if needed. We have a tremendous support system in place for not only academic learning but also social and emotional support for our students and their families. The pandemic has been stressful for everyone; however, we are doing all we
can to ensure our students are feeling connected, are learning and growing, and will be prepared for their future. Since Arizona implemented Move on When Reading in 2013, students must show proficiency in reading in third grade in order to be promoted. By beginning in kindergarten and focusing on the necessary skills, learning will scaffold and students will achieve this goal. We are hoping to reduce the number of 14% decline in enrollment in kindergarten by encouraging families to enroll today in school. Giving early learners the opportunities to learn, make friends, gain new skills and be ready to take on challenges is paramount to a successful graduate as they matriculate in later years. In this day and age, children need every advantage to ensure a bright future. Let’s not let the number of a 14% decline in enrollment define us, as this is a problem with an easy solution.

It’s time to review your Medicare coverage BY SEEMA VERMA
Glendale Star Guest Writer
Medicare’s annual open-enrollment season is underway, and I want to encourage all people with Medicare to review their current health and prescription drug coverage. Medicare Advantage plan premiums have fallen to historic lows, dropping an average of 34% over the last three years. Many plans are offering a new insulin benefit that limits the maximum cost to $35 for a 30-day supply. By shopping around, you may be able to save money and find a plan that better meets your needs. Open Enrollment runs through Dec. 7 each year. This is the time when you can change your Medicare health or drug coverage for the following year. You can switch to Original Medicare, or join or change a Medicare Advantage plan or Part D prescription drug plan. Any new coverage you select takes effect Jan. 1. Our updated Medicare Plan Finder (medicare.gov/plan-compare) can help you compare the prices and benefits of Medicare Advantage plans, Original Medicare, Medicare drug plans and Medigap policies. This mobile-friendly tool works on smartphones, tablets and desktop computers. For beneficiaries who have created an account, we’ve personalized Plan Finder to generate a personal drug history so prescription information will be auto-populated from personal Medicare claims history with accurate brand, dosage and frequency information.
But anyone can browse options without creating an account. Many Medicare drug plans and Medicare Advantage plans that include drug coverage are participating in a new insulin savings initiative. These plans now offer 30 days of insulin for $35 or less—an average savings of $446 per year on out-of-pocket costs. To find a plan with lower-cost insulin, look for “Insulin Savings” on Medicare Plan Finder. There are important differences between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Here’s a brief summary:
Original Medicare
With Original Medicare, you can go to any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare anywhere in the U.S. In most cases, you don’t need a referral to see a specialist. For services covered under Medicare Part B, you usually pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you meet your deductible. You also pay a monthly premium for Part B. If you choose to join a Part D drug plan, you’ll pay an additional monthly premium. There’s no yearly limit on what you pay out of pocket, unless you have supplemental coverage, such as Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap. Medigap can help pay your remaining out-of-pocket costs (like your 20% coinsurance). Or you can use coverage from a former employer

or union, or Medicaid. Original Medicare covers most medically necessary services and supplies in hospitals, doctors’ offices and other health care settings. It doesn’t cover some benefits, including vision and most dental care. In most cases, you don’t have to get a service or item approved ahead of time for Original Medicare to cover it.
Medicare Advantage
Medicare Advantage Plans are offered by private insurers that provide your Medicare Part A and B benefits, in many cases through a managed network, similar to an HMO. In many cases, you’ll need to use doctors and other providers in the plan’s network and service area to get the lowest out-of-pocket costs. HMO model plans won’t cover providers outside the plan’s network and service area unless certain exceptions apply, such as emergency services. You may need to get a referral to see a specialist, even if the specialist is in your plan’s network. Out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Advantage vary, and plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs for certain services. You may have to pay a monthly plan premium in addition to your month-
ly Part B premium. Some plans may have a $0 premium or may help pay all or part of your Part B premiums. Plans have a yearly limit on what you pay out of pocket for services covered under Medicare Part A and Part B. Once you reach your plan’s limit, you pay nothing for services covered by Part A and Part B for the rest of the year. Plans must cover all medically necessary services that Original Medicare covers. Most plans offer extra benefits that Original Medicare doesn’t cover, such as some vision, hearing and dental, benefits, as well as adult day health services, caregiver support, inhome support and home-based palliative care. In some cases, you have to get a service or item approved ahead of time for the plan to cover it. If you’d like free, personalized counseling on what Medicare options are right for you, call the nonprofit State Health Insurance and Assistance Program, or SHIP. To find the SHIP program in your state, go to shiptacenter.org. Or call us at 1-800-MEDICARE (1800-633-4227). Seema Verma is the administrator of Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

ASU West’s Bobbi Magdaleno gets WESTMARC Best of West award
BY TOM SCANLON
Glendale Star Managing Editor
At its annual “Best of the West” awards show and dinner, WESTMARC honored several key figures in the West Valley business scene, as well as education and community leaders. WESTMARC’s Excellence in Innovation Award recognizes “an innovative concept that attempts to fulfill a need for West Valley residents or preserve the West Valley’s assets or resources.” Sintra Hoffman, president and CEO, presided over the event, with the President’s Choice Award going to Roberta “Bobbi” Magdaleno, executive director in the Office of Government and Community Engagement at Arizona State University. She is based at ASU’s
West campus in Glendale. WESTMARC also celebrated its 30th anniversary as a key player in West Valley economic development and advocacy during its annual awards show, held Oct. 22 at Phoenix Raceway in Avondale. Ottawa University’s Surprise campus won the Excellence in Innovation Award, beating out the city of Peoria’s autonomous shuttle “Robo Ride” that made its debut at spring training 2020. The Inspiration in Leadership Award went to Buckeye Mayor Jackie Meck. After spending most of his adult life as a leader, both in city council and multiple terms as mayor of his hometown, Meck decided not to run for yet another reelection. Julie Giese, Phoenix Raceway presi-
dent, fittingly presented the Economic Engine Award, recognizing individuals, organizations, businesses, facilities or programs that have created a significant economic outcome and/or job creation for the West Valley. The Avondale Health-Tech Corridor was a finalist, but the award went to Microsoft, which is expanding data and technology centers in the West Valley.

NASCAR Championship roars into West Valley BY NICHOLAS BARKER Glendale Star Staff Writer
Nearly 55 years after becoming an official racetrack, Avondale’s Phoenix Raceway will host the NASCAR championship series Friday, Nov. 6, through Sunday, Nov. 8. While the cars will be going at full speed, for viewers it will be more of a “yellow flag”—with caution—experience. The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the country, and nothing seems normal these days. Phoenix Raceway President Julie Giese still wants fans to enjoy the series as if life was back to normal. “For us, it was something that we’ve been waiting over a year and half to get to this race weekend,” Giese said. “We are excited for this opportunity to showcase Phoenix Raceway, the city of Avondale and the entire state of Arizona for that matter.” Although fans will be allowed to come to the track, the raceway will not be filled. Only about 20% of the track will be filled, which will mean only about 8,000 fans will attend the championship weekend. Strict guidelines

Liberty High girls golfers ace state tournament BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Coached by Kyle Pooler, Liberty High took fifth place in the Girls Golf Division 1 State Championship. Mattison Frick, a junior, took the state championship. After scores of 76 and 75 in the two-round tournament left her in a tie for first place, she kept her nerve and won a one-hole playoff. Frick continues to excel for the Lady Lions. Last year, she was third in the
state as a sophomore—after also finishing third in her freshman year. Following close in her footsteps is Brooke McGlasson, a sophomore who tied for seventh place out of 80 golfers. She carded scores of 80 and 76. Led by Mattison Frick and Brooke McGlasson, the Liberty High girls golf team finished fifth in the state tournament. Frick took the individual championship.

For the recent Seahawks game, that number was increased to 1,200, who watched Kyler Murray and company take down their heated rivals in an overtime game on national TV. As with the Seattle game, seats will only be available to season-ticket members, chosen through account seniority. Availability on the seniority list will begin where the team left off after the Seattle game. Accounts that purchased tickets for the Seahawks game will have an opportunity again to buy tickets once all other accounts have had their turn. According to the team, fans will be contacted by email with details. Masks for fans are mandatory, and failure to comply will result in ejection. “Tickets and parking are 100% digital, and concessions is also a contact-less experience,” according to the Cardinals.

Dean Yeager goes from tank driver to honors student BY JOHN HECKENLAIBLE
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
After 26 years active duty in the U.S. Army, Dean Yeager is finding his future at Glendale Community College. Originally from the Sacramento area, Yeager joined the Army and spent his first seven years in a M1 A1/A2 Abrams as a driver, gunner and finally commander. He moved into logistics for a few years and finished out his enlistment in mortuary affairs. A few years after being honorably discharged, he was working with his vocational rehab counselor, and he expressed how much he enjoyed his second job in the Army—logistics. The precision and need for detailed procedures appealed to him. Yeager lives in Glendale and, based on this and his interests, his counselor suggested he go to GCC and then transfer to ASU West. Yeager agreed and gave Glendale Community College a try. He worked with his adviser in the GCC Veterans Services Center, and they mapped out
a pathway that will give Yeager all the classes he needs to transfer seamlessly over to ASU West. Right now, he is taking managerial accounting, business calculus, macro economics and geology. The last one is just
BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Glendale Public Library will host a virtual Jane Austen festival from noon to 6 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7. The free event is dubbed “Pride & Prejudice & Zoom.” Panel descriptions, participant bios and registration links are available on the event webpage at http://bit.ly/janeaustenzoom. Featuring two dozen experts and enthusiasts from around the world, guests will include a Tony-nominated composer, an award-winning British improv comedian and several critically acclaimed authors speaking on topics ranging from humor to fashion and diverse adaptations. “This virtual festival offers participants a chance to talk about some of
the most exciting things going on in the worlds of Austen, books, film and fandom with the authors and creators who are at the center of it. It’s an exciting thing for Glendale, the Valley and all points beyond, thanks to its digital format,” said Dr. Devoney Looser, author of “The Making of Jane Austen.” “I was thrilled to be invited, because I always welcome an excuse to think or talk about Jane Austen. Her genius is inexhaustible. Although there is never a bad moment for Jane Austen, this may be an especially good moment, amid political discord and pandemic sadness, for her subtle wit and deep insight into the human condition,” said Kathleen A. Flynn, author of “The Jane Austen Project.”

for fun. “I’ve always been somewhat of a rockhound.” Yeager says. “I’ve collected rocks from all over the United States and everywhere I’ve been stationed, including Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, Iraq and South Korea. I even have a rock that I got from the bottom of Lake Pleasant the first time I went scuba diving.” Yeager has a natural talent for logistics and enjoys math, so a degree in supply chain management seemed a natural fit. His aptitude, drive and knowledge are born out by his success at GCC. He is a member of the GCC Honors Program, the national Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society, plus he recently received an Outstanding Student Achievement award, which is given to remarkable students who have been nominated by instructors. When asked about his time at GCC, he says, “My instructors have all been great, and that has kept me here. I could have transferred to ASU West a while ago, but I enjoy GCC so much that I de-
cided to stick around here.” During his free time Yeager likes riding his modded-out Harley Davidsons, scuba diving and volunteering his time at the GCC Veterans Services Center. Stop by the Veterans Services Center for a chat with Yeager. He’ll explain how you can get your future started at GCC or he will tell you what it was like to tour Europe on a Harley. The Glendale Community College Veterans Services Center is a one-stop shop for veterans and their dependents who want to improve their life through higher education. GCC provides a wide range of academic opportunities, from certificates of completion to degrees and from refresher classes to getting credits as they work toward transferring to a university, starting a career or climbing the ladder at their current workplace. Glendale Community College has two locations serving the West Valley—6000 W. Olive Avenue, Glendale, and 5727 W. Happy Valley Road, Phoenix. For more information, visit gccaz.edu.

It doesn’t take that much money to be ‘rich’ The little girl was sitting in her grandfather’s lap as he read her a goodnight story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up and touch his wrinkled cheek. She would alternately stroke her cheek and then his. Finally, she spoke, “Granddaddy, did God make you?” “Yes, sweetheart,” he answered. “God made me a long time ago.” Then, “Granddaddy, did God make me, too?” “Yes, honey,” he assured her. “God made you just a little while ago.” “Oh,” she said. Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, “God’s getting better at it now, isn’t He?” As a grandfather, or “opa,” these days that story is a little too close for comfort. However, there is something I’m not sure is getting any better these days. We human beings still struggle with loving money. And we battle with when and how to spend money if you get it. And we are concerned about the
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist
effects the lack of money has on other people. That is pertinent to many people because of the coronavirus’ impact on our economy. Years ago, I heard Pastor Dan Steffen of Pure Heart Church in Glendale talk about money. He had some great thoughts that I think could help us all. I’ll add a few thoughts about money also. How much money does it take to be rich? If you won the lottery, how much would you need to be rich? How much money would you need to secure your future against all imaginable eventualities? The answer for most would be more than they currently have. Even “wealthy” people often live in deni-
al. Why? Because the more a person has, the more he or she wants. That’s called accumulation. People love to upgrade, and for most, there will never be enough upgrades. Money doesn’t change people. Money unmasks people. Money reveals where people have placed their hope. Please don’t let your hope, identity, desires and happiness be dependant on money. That’s not wise. If you have limited wisdom about money, money is a problem. As income goes up, so does spending. That’s true of any person, business, church or government. Money is high-octane fuel. Use, but use wisely. Remember the saying by the Arizona Lottery encouraging us to buy a lottery ticket? “You can’t win if you don’t play.” Here’s the truth. Your chances of winning most lotteries are somewhere in the area of 32 million to 1. Of course, there is always someone who wins, and they promote that person like crazy. But many a lottery winner

after a few years is right back where they started—and usually worse. And the other 32 million have less to spend. God knows our propensity toward greed and accumulation. That is why 2,084 verses in the Bible deal with money. God’s advice is not to put your hope in accumulating money. Don’t make the treasure your pleasure. Make the Treasurer your pleasure. Don’t make “benefits” your dream. Make the Benefactor your dream. Don’t seek the creation, seek the Creator. Why? Money is a wonderful servant but a terrible master. And, by the way, the “rich” is probably you, not “them.” If your total family income including benefits is $45,000 per year, you are in the top 1% of the world. There you go.

PUSD board approves open-enrollment capacity BY BRIAN CANO SR.
Glendale Star Staff Writer
Peoria Unified School District elementary schools had an 8% decrease in enrollment this year—though high schools had slightly higher enrollment. Open enrollment funding, school capacity data and overcrowding concerns were discussed at the Sept. 24 Peoria Unified School governing board meeting. After lengthy discussion, the board approved a one-year open-enrollment plan. All PUSD schools and all grade levels have excess capacity and are allowed to accept additional students. “I brought to you a new timeline, with a focus on allowing our families and our schools additional time to be able to prepare. ... In order to decide how we implement our open-enrollment process,” PUSD Superintendent Jason Reynolds said. Reynolds said school officials will be able to determine capacity based on specific facilities. “What this does is allow our principals to continue to monitor their situation throughout the open-enrollment process and then when it is time to let families know whether or not we’re able to accept them under an open enrollment,” Reynolds said. PUSD Director of Research Mike Maas shared the pre-COVID-19 findings from a February study and a March future enrollment growth trend report. Maas said the two reports capture a snapshot of all current PUSD school capacity and what the district should expect in the next five years. “They compare that with how we’re growing, Maas said. “They look at all of our new developments they look at our trends in terms of capture rates, birth rates—lots of information that gives us then an estimate of what our enrollment will be for the next five, even 10 years, in most cases.” According to Maas, at PUSD elemen-

tary schools, 23,865 students were enrolled in 2019-20. He reported a decrease of 1,999 students for the current school year. Maas added PUSD elementary school projected enrollment is expected to increase to 24,845 students by 2024-25. Lake Pleasant’s student enrollment increased from 890 students to 899 in school year 2020-21. Maas said the analysis indicates Sunset Heights will likely face overcrowding issues next year. “That red line jumps out at you pretty quickly, because what that tells me is that the one that’s really over is Sunset Heights,” Maas stated. “I’m going to use the term ‘appears’ to be over because I want to talk to you about how we work with this information, so from there, you can see everyone, and again, we know that enrollment is down in our schools.”
Maas said PUSD high school enrollment slightly ticked up from 13,045 students in 2019-20 to 13,111 this year. Maas said PUSD expects to experience an enrollment increase to 13,506 students by school year 2024-25. Maas said Cactus, Ironwood and Sunrise Mountain high schools had declining enrollment. Centennial, Peoria, Raymond S. Kellis and Liberty high schools increased enrollment. Liberty, he noted, is “overcrowded or bigger than what we had recommended capacity,” Maas said. But, he added: “I’m scared to say this out loud, but there are times when we need to disregard the data. And I think that this is one of those times.” Maas said current PUSD high school enrollment might decrease due to stu-
dents choosing online learning. “I think this is a long-term implication for education. And as much as we hear about some of the students not being successful, I believe there’s a big group of them who are successful and are going to continue to choose to be online, in the future,” Maas said. Board member Monica Ceja Martinez said students could find it difficult to get into specific programs due to the overcrowding. She stressed that she does not want PUSD students to slip through the cracks and go unnoticed. “This is the second year we’ve changed the policy in an effort to help mitigate class sizes overcrowding,” Ceja Martinez said. “I’m concerned about and acknowledging the information ... as a result of our new environment.” Ceja Martinez said she is concerned by recent high school overcrowding trends with regard to Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention (CDC) social distancing recommendations. “It’s also important to note that we’re here with this recommendation, because of the past six months, because of COVID-19,” Reynolds noted. According to the Arizona School Boards Association, eighth-grade students currently enrolled in a district elementary school who want to attend an out-of-district high school must fill out an open enrollment application between Oct. 1 and Dec. 1 of their eighth-grade year. The application must be submitted directly to the high school of the student’s choice. All new students must submit open enrollment applications between Oct. 1 and Dec. 1 to be considered for open enrollment during the following school year. According to the PUSD website, open-enrollment applications will not be accepted prior to Oct. 1 of each school year. For more information, peoriaunified.org/domain/96.

Dual enrollment can save high school students money in college BY OLIVIA DOW
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
The Peoria Unified School District provides high school students opportunities to complete college credits while attending school in the district. Students can choose from a variety of courses to enroll in through dual enrollment to get credit from a number of different schools—including Maricopa Community Colleges and Grand Canyon University—for a reduced rate. At Maricopa Community Colleges, PUSD high schoolers pay $73 per credit hour rather than $85. PUSD students who get credits through Grand Canyon University pay $52.20 per credit hour as opposed to $687.50, district officials said. “Dual enrollment broadens students’ abilities to earn college credit while in high school, which, in turn, helps students meet their academic post-secondary goals sooner,” wrote Maria Hobbs, executive director of PUSD’s K-12 curriculum and profes-

Interning is a great way to get into the job force BY ALEXANDER BARNES
Glendale Chamber of Commerce Intern
Having the chance to hone your skills and give yourself work experience before ever applying to your first job can be what puts you above your peers when submitting your application, and how to get that step forward would be internships. One of the best ways to get into the workforce quicker has been internships, which give you the necessary skills and experience needed to really land that interview and, hopefully, a job. Work skills are some of the most important parts of landing your dream job, and a great way to obtain those skills and work to improve upon them is by interning. Depending on where you are working, you can learn and sharpen those skills while earning hours of experience and possibly a paycheck from a paid internship. The skills you learn from your internship can be crucial on your resume for scoring that job you are applying for. When starting out in the workforce, it can be difficult to land a job or even an interview when you do not have any work experience—or very little at that. Internships can give you that experience you need, whether paid or unpaid, and can be the tie breaker for if you are getting that job you’ve always
wanted or not. Being able to show your employer that you are experienced and are coming into the workforce with the lessons you’ve learned under your belt is sure to give you the upper hand. Paid or unpaid, internships can be a very valuable tool to anyone lacking experience, or to high school and college students trying to further their academic career and move forward to land great jobs in the future. The experience and skills that you learn from your internship can be what puts you in the best spot for job opportunities.

Cindy Segotta-Jones, Superintendent
As we embrace new ways to connect virtually with our students, GESD Library Clerks at all schools designed interactive virtual libraries to ensure students are able to access books digitally and read from home. Inside these virtual libraries you'll find links to books, videos and learning activities for our youngest readers up to young adult literature. Visit www.gesd40.org to find the links to our virtual libraries.
