At its pre-Thanksgiving meeting, Glendale City Council spent an hour pondering and debating language that would amend the city’s general plan.

Some felt the general plan’s voter-approved status made it too crucial to be amended without another citizen vote.

Adding another level to the debate were comments from members of the Glendale Planning Commission—which voted against the proposal several weeks before.

Occasionally, developers will request general plan major map amendments.

Previously, applications for major gener-

al plan amendments were only accepted by the city in March and April each year.

And city council would only consider the requests from October 1 through the end of each year.

Eventually, the majority agreed with City Manager Kevin Phelps: that a language change would simply make it easier for the city to market to developers by allowing council to consider major general plan amendments any time.

“This is a tool from the economic development side where we’re trying to say let’s keep our options open,” said Phelps.

Mayor Jerry Weiers and council members Ray Malnar, Joyce Clark and Ian Hugh voted for the proposal, edging out

the three votes against from Jamie Aldama, Lauren Tolmachoff and Bart Turner.

Lisa Collins, the interim director of development services, presented the requesting, calling it “a minor general plan text amendment.”

“It’s allowing flexibility but still (following) the state law,” she added.

She called it an administrative change, as opposed to a major text amendment, which would make “significant changes in the way the general plan functions.”

Malnar asked Collins to address emails from concerned residents.

“I’ve received some communications from citizens regarding this text amendSEE COUNCIL PAGE 3

ment. Some of the comments were that this would somehow diminish the public’s ability to participate or be involved in the process and somehow get around the citizens,” Malnar said.

“The arguments I’ve received state this would disenfranchise the citizens.”

Collins adamantly said that was not the case.

The changes, she stressed, “would have no impact on the city participation component of the general plan.”

Phelps added that eliminating dates makes the city more user friendly to developers.

“If a major project comes in and … if they say, ‘We will select Glendale over Utah but we have a deadline,’ we would want that flexibility. … This is really about providing flexibility for those unique situations where the timing is critical,” Phelps said.

portunity because of our own rules— not because the state has required it,” Phelps said.

After council grilled Collins and Phelps, three members of the Glendale Planning Commission shared their thoughts.

“When this issue was before the planning commission, it was denied unanimously,” Edwin Nyberg said.

The change, he insisted, “violates the spirit and intent of the general plan.”

And, Nyberg noted, there has only been one general plan major map amendment in recent years.

“This is a solution in search for a problem,” Nyberg said.

He said the deadlines in the general plan “are very clear … to remove those dates and alter the process makes it confusing.” Nyberg’s fellow commissioner Rick Harper seconded that.

“The people of Glendale did vote on the general plan as it was written.

Now it seems the city wants to go through and change it without asking the people,” Harper said.

He also bristled at the planning

commission’s recommendation not being part of Collins’ presentation.

“Why is the planning commission here working and voting if they’re not being forwarded to the city council? It seems strange that could be,” Harper said.

“More people are thinking the city of Glendale (is) just wanting to change things to suit their needs and not the people’s needs.”

Gary Hirsch, chairman of the planning commission, stressed the general plan being voter approved “carries a lot of weight with the planning commission. We don’t feel we have it in our charge to overrule the voter-approved provisions.”

Hirsch said Glendale voters were still upset over a “temporary sales tax” passed eight years ago, when the city was on the brink of bankruptcy.

“Lo and behold, that (tax) hasn’t gone away,” Hirsch said.

He referred to four proposed city bonds that were soundly rejected by voters Nov. 3: “I suspect it might have been, ‘Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me.’”

print than the county-approved plan would permit and a smaller, high-density residential component. Half of the 800 lots in this new plan would be smaller than the smallest residential lot size designation for Maricopa County.”

But the developer’s presentation insist Allen Ranches fits the area: “The Allen Ranches PAD (planned area development) allows industrial, manufacturing, e-commerce, distribution, office, and residential uses with development standards that ensure appropriate flexibility for such developments. The residential portion of (Allen Ranches), designated as medium density residential (MDR) PAD, allows single-family residential development at a scale and density that provides an appropriate and compatible transition between the existing residential development to the west and industrial uses to the east. ...”

In its presentation to the planning commission, the Allen Ranches developer does not include a summary of neighborhood meetings or negative feedback from residents.

Glendale 303

The planning commission will also hear from a proposed warehouse development north of Allen Ranches.

Michael Buschbacher, representing owner Glendale 303, will ask for a modification for the 100-acre site near Glendale Avenue and Loop 303.

The Glendale 303 site has a zoning classification of PAD (Planned Area Development) and is currently undeveloped, according to agenda information.

The 100 acres have been used for farming for decades and are surrounded by farms on three sides.

But multiple residential properties are west of the property, which borders on Cotton Lane.

The developer’s preliminary plan is for four warehouse structures totaling more than 1.5 million square feet, with the largest facing Cotton Lane.

The developer held an Oct. 21 virtual meeting with neighbors, with eight residents attending. According to the developer, “The applicant sent a follow up letter to those residents who still had concerns, the letter offered

several mitigation solutions.”

Some neighbors along Cotton Lane in Waddell expressed concerns even after the meeting, however.

“We appreciate the opportunity to present our views and the impact this development will have on our lifestyle,” wrote Sally Horton of Clearwater Farms residential development.

“We also appreciate the developer’s willingness to address said concerns.

“However we still have concerns, the wall we requested isn’t for a sound barrier. We would like a wall on the west side of Cotton Lane in front of our homes, this would give us some separation and privacy. It would also help block headlights coming and going into our homes from your development.”

Another post-meeting email from Lee and Margaret Anderson stated, “Most of the people in the Waddell development are not going to be affected as much as those of us that are right across the street from the proposed activity. Since the proposed development is going to be of a manufacturing/commercial nature, there is likely

going to be 24-hour activity within 100 yards of our home and we will lose the privacy for which we originally purchased our property and have enjoyed for several years. This loss of privacy would also very likely have a negative effect on the value of our property.”

As it is close to Luke Air Force Base, the Glendale 303 land has restricted use.

The developer is requesting changes that “will facilitate and provide conditions more conducive of warehousing and manufacturing uses,” according to the agenda.

Glendale 303 will ask the commission to approve the doubling of permitted building heights from the current 40 feet to 85 feet.

And, according to the developer’s request: “Rooftop towers and building equipment may exceed the maximum building height by 15 feet as long as they are fully screened from line of sight adjacent public streets. Materials silos, product tanks or other similar support elements may exceed roof height up to 100 feet maximum.”

City council delays vote on marijuana rules

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF After discussing the matter Nov. 24, Glendale City Council decided to hold off on passing any regulations in the wake of state voters approving recreational marijuana use.

City Attorney Michael Bailey presented an ordinance “pertaining to public nuisances to address recreational marijuana.”

As Bailey’s presentation noted, the approval of Proposition 207 authorizes the sale of nonmedicinal recreational marijuana to adults who are at least 21 but also “allow(s) cities to enact reasonable regulations to protect public health, safety and welfare, including

limitations on recreational marijuana retail establishments, marijuana testing facilities and delivery of recreational marijuana.”

Approval of the proposition will allow current medical marijuana dispensaries to apply to sell recreational marijuana in the spring.

While Peoria City Council recently passed an ordinance outlawing smoking marijuana in parks and other public spaces, Glendale City Council decided to wait for Bailey to provide more information on the matter.

The proposed ordinance may be heard again as early as the Tuesday, Dec. 8, city council meeting.

Glendale employee honored for lifesaving efforts

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF On Nov. 6, Brett Nunez was just doing his job, driving a garbage truck through the city.

Passing an apartment building near 59th Avenue and Country Gables Drive, Nunez saw smoke. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and rushed to the fire.

With fire crews on the way, Nunez pounded on doors, calling for residents to evacuate to safety.

Six apartments were damaged, with four total losses.

But, thanks in large part to the efforts of Nunez, everyone made it to safety.

The day before Thanksgiving, the city of Glendale honored Nunez with a Life Safety Award.

Glendale Fire Chief Terry Garrison made the presentation, with Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers on hand to praise one of the city’s star employees.

World of Illumination Vaccine could bring ‘normal’ by summer returns to Westgate

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Promising “a full-throttle musical extravaganza, where your favorite tunes come to life,” the World of Illumination holiday light show returns to Glendale.

World of Illumination’s Rockin’ Christmas at Westgate Entertainment District plays from 6 to 10 p.m. nightly through Jan. 3.

“In this mile-long symphony of sight and sound, you’ll see everything from

life-sized musical notes to retro Santa spinning it old school,” the company’s website promised.

Billed as “the world’s largest drivethrough light show,” World of Illumination also offers holiday entertainment that meets social distance criteria.

Tickets are $29 per vehicle during the week, $29 on weekends.

Gov. Doug Ducey believes Arizona could be “back to normal” by this summer once Arizonans get vaccinated for COVID-19.

In a conference call Thanksgiving week, the governor laid out a schedule for business leaders that he said should make the vaccine available for “prioritized groups” in the middle of December.

And the general public? That, Ducey figures, would be “in the spring, in March or April.”

Ducey’s conference call with business leaders came as data released Nov. 25 by the county health department showed that levels indicating virus spread are increasing around the county and at West Valley school districts. During the holiday week, Maricopa County was averaging more than 2,000 new COVID-19 cases per day, though Thanksgiving briefly interrupted the daily updates.

The state reported more than 4,000 cases four times in the last week.

The state reported Tuesday, Dec. 1, a staggering number of new COVID-19 cases: 10,322—with 7,463 of those in Maricopa County. But, the county noted, the Dec. 1 count included all tests during the

four-day weekend.

State Health Director Cara Christ said her department is looking to administer the vaccine.

But the governor said the key is getting Arizona from where it is now to the point when those vaccines are widely available.

Christ said there is a “concerning” increase in COVID-19 infections.

And Ducey has conceded Arizona has a “stressed” hospital system.

Still, the governor said he has no plans for any new restrictions beyond those who remain in place, such as occupancy limits at bars, restaurants, movie theaters and fitness centers.

“Right now, businesses are open,” he said. “They’re open because businesses have been responsible and worked with health officials to implement smart mitigation measures.”

For the moment, Ducey and Christ are limiting their effort to encouraging more voluntary compliance. That, said the health director, starts with masks—and not just while shopping.

“This includes every setting where you will be around people who do not live with you,” she said.

And for businesses, Christ recommended limiting the number of people indoors, even to the point of having customers wait outside.

‘Avondale Quad’ remembers brother’s smile

BY BRIAN CANO SR.

Glendale Star Staff Writer

This is the first holiday season Hannah Nelson will be without her beloved brother Brandon.

Part of the “Avondale Quads,” Nelson and her other brothers, Matthew and Michael Reed, lost Brandon Rowin when he passed away Jan. 18. It was nine days after the quadruplets celebrated their 22nd birthday.

Hannah, Brandon, Michael and Matthew, known as the Avondale Quads, were born Jan. 9, 1998. Three months later, the four babies were hospitalized with broken bones and skull fractures.

Brandon suffered the most severe injuries, and doctors believed he wouldn’t be able to walk, talk or even live to 10 years old.

However, Brandon lived more than twice that long before passing away.

In his honor, Hannah started Brandon’s Smile Toy Drive with Arizona Helping Hands to benefit local foster kids.

She said Thanksgiving week she already collected over 250 toys and $2,000 in donations. With 14,000 foster kids statewide, she hopes to collect more and try to help as many children in foster care as she can.

“My brothers and I were in foster care, so there’s a really big place in our heart and we know how tough it is to be in the system,” Nelson said. “I just wanted to basically put a smile on their face but know that it’s through Brandon’s Toy Drive.”

Nelson, a public health major at Northern Arizona University, is excited to continue her brother’s legacy of smiles because that’s the “one thing” she misses the most.

“I know what’s going to put a smile on a foster kid’s face is a toy,” Nelson said. “They want to know they’re loved, and they want to know that they are thought about during this time.”

AHH Marketing Development Coordinator Lori Calhoun said she is “blown away” by Nelson’s work ethic and is impressed by Nelson’s innovative ideas to help foster children.

Calhoun said any toys left over from Brandon’s Toy Drive will go to the “Birthday Dreams Program,” which

serves over 300 children per month.

“We’ve already been packaging up the holiday toy requests in our warehouse—it’s already beginning to look a lot like Christmas back there,” Calhoun said. “We will distribute them on Dec. 18 and 19.”

Difficult memories

The Avondale Quads were adopted by three families after their biological parents, Elizabeth Shannon Whittle and Anthony Perez, were found guilty of child abuse. Elizabeth Whittle was originally sentenced to 172 years, but that sentence was reduced in 2005 after she struck a plea deal.

Nelson married and settled into a West Valley home with a growing family.

She said the word “Avondale” brings up painful emotions.

“It has nothing to do with the people in the city—I think it’s just the name tied to it,” Nelson said. “The moment we cross the city boundaries and it says ‘Welcome to Avondale,’ my stomach drops and I just shut down.”

Nelson said she spent lots of quality time with Brandon and credits her mother, who is a therapist, for passing on the desire to work with special needs children.

Nelson fondly recalled seeing Bran-

don shortly before his death and recounted the love the siblings still have for each other.

“I saw Brandon right before I had my first daughter last year, a month before I had her. And then I saw him again when he was in the hospital,” Nelson said. “My brothers, they love him to death; they adore him.”

Nelson does not want people to forget about Brandon and his smile. She said the toy drive helps her cope with the loss of Brandon. She looks forward to engaging with as many foster kids as possible and to see her brother’s huge smile on the kids’ faces.

“My job was to just collect toys. And it’s like, every toy I get, I’ve honestly cried so many times about the toy drive because it’s like, wow!” Nelson said.

Most important is the memory of Brandon.

“His smile is going to continue. And you know what? I did my job. At the end of the day, I did my job,” she said.

Glendale Glitters and Small Business Saturday boost post-Thanksgiving

BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

There is only one word for Black Friday, 2020: Ouch.

According to a CNBC story, “Traffic at stores on Black Friday fell by 52.1% compared with last year, as Americans by and large eschewed heading to malls and queuing up in lines for shopping online.”

In Glendale, some of that pandemic-generated sting was soothed, thanks to Glendale Glitters and Small Business Saturday.

The evening after Thanksgiving, older couples and young families enjoyed a stroll around Murphy Park as thousands of lights wrapped around trees, plants, buildings and just about everything else imaginable clicked on with the setting sun.

Glendale Glitters “appeared to have a good deal of foot traffic over the hol-

iday weekend, now the question is how did that translate to sales?” said Robert Heidt, president and CEO of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce.

“I did see a few merchants share via social media things went well for them and/or have been going well given the circumstances around COVID,” he added.

Heidt saw a post that downtown restaurant La Piazza al Forno “crushed it” and the Astrology Store had a strong weekend.

Though there was no big kickoff event this year, the festive Glendale Glitters lights will be on every night at 5 p.m.

The display of nearly 2 million lights over 16 blocks will twinkle nightly until 10 p.m.

Downtown merchants and restaurants are participating in the holiday spirit, even if the crowds of most years are not to be found.

While crowds of non-pandemic years are not to be found, older couples and young families enjoyed the scene of Glendale Glitters in Murphy Park and the surrounding Downtown Glendale.

COVID-19 cases could push hospital beds, staff to their limits

BY CALAH SCHLABACH Cronkite News

The recent surge in COVID-19 cases could push hospital staff and hospital bed capacity to the limit in coming weeks, particularly if people are not careful over Thanksgiving, an Arizona hospital official said Nov. 24.

Marjorie Bessel, chief clinical officer for Banner Health, said its projections show the system will be using 125% of its licensed hospital beds

by Friday, Dec. 4, as it grapples with typical winter rise in patients and the sudden spike in COVID-19 cases. She compared the Thanksgiving holiday weekend to Memorial Day weekend, when unrestricted gatherings were followed by a sharp spike in coronavirus cases.

“If you reflect back in May, you know that Memorial Day weekend was a significant catalyst that caused continued exponential growth of our COVID pandemic here in the state of Arizona,” Bessel said at a press conference.

The good news is hospitals have come together during this pandemic response.”

– Holly Ward Spokesperson, Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association

Unlike May, however, when Arizona was one of the few states facing a COVID-19 surge, the current outbreak is widespread. That means hospitals in the state will be hard-pressed to find relief workers from other states, Bessel said, even if they can work around the shortage of beds.

“We have been accumulating pharmaceutical supplies, beds and ventilators since the surge in the summer, and we believe that we are prepared,” she said. “What we will have a short-

A spokesperson for the Arizona Department of Health Services said the agency is not able to comment on projections from Banner or any other external organization. But Holly Poynter said that while “hospital ICU bed availability has decreased over the past few weeks, there is still adequate capacity in Arizona’s hospitals.”

The department’s COVID-19 dashboard showed that, as of Monday, Nov. 30, 89% of ICU beds in the state were occupied, leaving 189 beds available. That is more than were available at the height of cases in the summer, Poynter noted.

Bessel’s comments come just days after Arizona health officials and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued pleas to the public to tone down holiday celebrations, staying home, limiting the size of gath-

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Glendale police officers arrested Vincel Lee Perkins Saturday, Nov. 28, on charges he shot two people, killing one and sending the other to the hospital.

Glendale police first responded to a vehicle collision near 57th Drive and Glendale Avenue.

When police arrived, they found two gunshot victims—a man and a womanin a vehicle.

A woman who was driving was taken to the hospital and listed in stable condition, according to Glendale police spokesman Jose Santiago.

“The male was pronounced deceased at the hospital,” Santiago said.

While police were investigating, a resident called 911 to report a man stated he had just shot two people.

“The caller did not let the suspect in the home and then watched the suspect hide in a shed in their backyard,” Santiago said.

Police found Perkins in the backyard and took him into custody.

According to booking information, Perkins is 6-foot-7 and weighs 350 pounds.

Santiago said police discovered Perkins was visiting from out of town.

“He had previously met the female victim during his visit. Perkins got into a vehicle with the two victims. The male victim got into the front seat and Perkins got into the back seat, while the female victim drove. Perkins later told police he believed the male victim had stolen money from his son,” Santiago said.

“While they were traveling, Perkins shot the male victim twice and told the female victim to drive somewhere to dump the body. When they got to the area of 57th Drive and Glendale, the suspect shot the female victim and fled the scene,” Santiago said.

Police did not provide the names of the victims or if they were Glendale residents.

Perkins, 50, is charged with murder, aggravated assault and misconduct involving weapons.

erings, wearing masks and meeting outside where possible, among other steps.

“The best mitigation that you can do as an individual out there is to keep your circle tight. Once you break that circle, risk goes up,” Bessel said.

Bessel said Banner just hired 1,000 out-of-state staff to work the winter surge that Arizona hospitals normally face, and it is looking to hire more.

But “the entire country is surging at the same time. This is significantly different than what Arizona experienced in the summer.”

If Banner gets to 125% of bed capacity, Bessel said it would “cause quite a bit of stress on our health care system,” but she does not think it would require drastic steps like “a triage situation.”

“We have a lot of plans in place to be able to meet that demand, but it

is going to be stressful on our health care system and we won’t be the only one.”

Poynter said Arizona DHS has put a number of measures into place to help hospitals manage bed capacity, including a “surge line” that allows hospitals that don’t have the capacity to care for a patient to search online and find an available bed.

A spokesperson for the Arizona Hospital and Healthcare Association said hospitals will be able to share the load across the state.

“The good news is hospitals have come together during this pandemic response,” said Holly Ward, the association spokesperson. “Chances are we will see spikes in the communities. But we are very optimistic that we won’t be in the situation where it’s statewide ... (where) there are no beds available.”

Vintage pickup truck bar ready to tap into fun

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF You’ve heard of a pickup truck and a pickup bar.

Meet Glendale’s first pickup truck bar, Old School Tap. It’s a classic 1955 Ford F-250 that has been modified to serve as a rollup bar.

The truck is owned by Taylour Rohme and Kris Andrews, a soon-tobe-wed couple who live in Glendale.

Rohme said they decided to launch the business after getting frustrated with a lack of options while planning her own wedding.

“We searched and searched for something other than a standard walk-up bar for our wedding, and we were incredibly frustrated at the lack of options out there,” said Rohme, a mother of two.

“Kris and I sat down and said, ‘You know what would be great? A cool classic truck.’ And the idea for Old School Tap was born. It doesn’t get much better than an older truck, but an old truck with booze might just be the icing on the cake!”

Rohme and Andrews purchased the truck early this year from the longtime owner, who had used it for years as a daily driver and work truck. It is largely

original, save for the new paint job and custom bar hand built into the bed.

“Keeping the original integrity of our truck was important to us,” Rohme said. “We added the pistachio color and honey-stained wood, but we wanted to keep the classic feel and preserve the memories this old truck holds. Being able to bring some of that old-school charm to your modern-day events is what we love the most.”

The truck was detailed and ceramic

coated by AZ Auto Aesthetics.

Being a veteran-owned business, thanking veterans for their service is an important tenet in Old School Tap’s business model, right down to the specialty veteran license plate. Andrews served five years in the U.S. Marines and reached the rank of corporal.

“We recognize that we are the home of the free because of the brave,” Rohme said. “We recently held a sticker sale to raise funds for Soldiers Best

Friend, a nonprofit that pairs eligible veterans with trained service dogs.

Both Kris and I are always looking for more opportunities to help veterans in the future.”

While Rohme and Andrews invented Old School Tap to serve as their wedding bar, the truck is available for events. Rohme sold cold brew coffee and soda pop at the Tanger Outlets in Glendale on Black Friday.

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the business model, but Rohme is optimistic about the future and is hopeful that people choose to book her bar while celebrating safely.

She noted 2020 “has been a tough year for most, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who supports us and an even bigger thank you to those that have booked events with us over the next few months.

“I can’t explain how good of a feeling it is to see your vision come to life and actually have people love it. So once again thank you all so much, and I can’t wait to grow my little business with all of you.”

Apartments near Arrowhead Ranch sells for $55M

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Institutional Property Advisors, a division of Marcus & Millichap, recently announced the sale of Eagle Crest, a 408-unit multifamily building near the Arrowhead Ranch master-planned community in Glendale. The property sold for $55 million, which equates to $134,804 per unit.

Marcus & Millichap’s West Los Angeles office represented the seller, a private family trust, and found the buyer, S2 Capital.

“The global health crisis has not eroded the appeal of Greater Phoenix’s low population density and cost of living,” said Cliff David, IPA executive managing director. “With more than 77,000 new residents in 2019, Phoenix led the nation in net in-migration, and this trend is likely to accelerate in the current environment.”

Constructed in 1987 on a 16-acre park-like setting, Eagle Crest is 20 miles northwest of Downtown Phoenix, near Arrowhead Towne

Center, P83 Entertainment District and the dynamic Bell Road Retail Corridor.

“The affluent Arrowhead community surrounding Eagle Crest safeguards the property against future multifamily development,” Cohan said.

“This, coupled with the preservation of the asset and care displayed by the seller over their 30-year ownership, is tremendous, making the value-add potential for this property unequivocal.”

How to shop smart this holiday season

BY KIMBERLY YEE

Glendale Star Guest Writer

As the Arizona State Treasurer and chairwoman of the state’s first-ever Financial Literacy Task Force, increasing financial awareness is one of my top priorities. By making wise personal finance decisions, Arizonans not only strengthen themselves but also their families, communities and the overall economic health of our state. The holiday season is commonly a time of overspending and breaking personal budgets.

According to the National Retail Federation, Americans spent on average $1,047.83 last holiday season, a 4% percent increase from the previous year. Holidays can be a festive time to spend on your loved ones without drowning in debt.

Read my five practical tips on how to shop smart this holiday season.

Budget for everything, not just gifts

Before you begin any holiday shopping, figure out what your budget is and how much you can afford to spend on gifts and holiday expenses. Write your budget down and keep yourself accountable to exactly how much you want to spend within those limits. Then make a list of everyone you want to give a gift to, including family, friends, teachers and co-workers. Factor in all the costs of shopping, like shipping, gas and packaging. Don’t forget to account for other holiday expenses, such as decorations, food, holiday apparel, greeting cards, travel and charitable

PETERS’ OPINION – Dayton Daily News

contributions. By determining how much you’re able to spend from your disposable income, you can feel confident and prepared to begin your holiday shopping.

Make a gift list and stick to it

Before you start shopping, whether it’s online or in person, create a list of everything you want to purchase.

Stores are designed to incentivize you to buy as much as possible, so walk in prepared with a plan and do your best to avoid sales pitches. Avoid window shopping and stay within the aisles of the store for the items on your list to avoid excess purchases. This tip applies to the nonholiday season, too.

When you enter the store, look for only the items on your gift list. You will be less tempted to overspend and buy items that are not on your list when you have a set budget.

Spend less time in the store so you purchase less

Spending more time in a store usually leads to more purchasing and more opportunity to break your budget. Prevent impulse spending by shopping when pressed for time. By researching online before you enter the store, you can compare prices with different stores, take advantage of the best bargains and maximize your time. When shopping online, which is increasingly more common, set a time limit for how long you will spend on the online store’s website.

Pay with cash to buy gifts

Cash is the best paying option to maintain your holiday budget. When you’re swiping a plastic card, you cannot tangibly see money leaving your pocket. If you hand over $100 in cash, you are more likely to be aware of how much you are spending. Cash has

no hidden fees! When shopping online, paying with a credit card is necessary, so make sure you can pay off the full balance. Also, avoid opening new store credit cards, which come with hidden fees and incentivize you to spend more in the store. If you’re prone to making frivolous purchases, having a store card may induce you to spend more to try to earn the offered rewards. Also, store cards often have extremely high interest rates—sometimes up to 23%—which could lead you to quickly racking up interest-related debt. By paying with cash when possible, you will spend your money, not borrowed money.

Consider making personalized gifts

Homemade presents are personal, meaningful treasures to give to your loved ones and a great way to save money while creating something memorable and one of a kind. In the day and age of digital photos, consider compiling an old-fashioned photo album for family members and friends, or bake a batch of Christmas cookies to wrap as gifts. Another idea is giving the gift of time by visiting your faraway family and friends, or offering up a free “night of babysitting” card for a busy couple who would love a night out. Personalized gifts are unique, unexpected and can’t be compared to anything you’d find in a traditional store. The homemade, personalized gift-giving opportunities, mixed in with a bit of creativity, are endless!

By practicing these smart shopping tips, you can start off 2021 without holiday debt! The holiday season should be a time for enjoying family and friends’ company, not worrying about your money.

Ironwood, Cactus move on to semifinal round

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF After a shortened, somewhat chaotic pandemic season, high school football playoffs started the night after Thanksgiving.

In the 5A bracket, Ironwood scored a 35-30 win over Desert Mountain.

The Eagles move on to a second-round home game against Notre Dame Prep at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4.

Sunrise Mountain took down Verrado, 35-14, in another 5A playoff game.

Sunrise Mountain hosts Campo Verde in the second round at 7 p.m. Dec. 4.

Senior quarterback William Haskell has led Ironwood, passing for 19 touchdowns while also being the Eagles’ leading rusher.

Cactus High looks like the favorite in the 4A bracket after demolishing Coconino, 41-7.

Will Galvan, a sophomore quarterback, leads the potent Cactus offense at 7 p.m. Dec. 4 against Casa Grande, which defeated Peoria High, 47-30.

Liberty defeated Centennial, 25-24.

The two teams played the week before, with Centennial on the winning end in a 34-24 game.

Though he was intercepted twice, senior quarterback Brock Mast led the Liberty Lions to the opening-round win in the open bracket. Mast threw for two touchdowns, one to junior Jordon Guevera and one to sophomore Grant Bruenelle.

Late in the fourth quarter, it looked like another win for Centennial, which had a 24-17 lead and the ball at Liberty’s 29-yard line with just four minutes left. But the Liberty defense held, getting the ball back for the offense.

Coming through in the clutch, Mast led the Lions on a dynamic drive, capped by a 1-yard touchdown run by Josef Pennillia—his only rushing attempt of the game—with one minute

left.

Rather than attempting to kick an extra point to tie the game and send it to overtime, Coach Colin Thomas went for the kill. Mast scored on a two-point conversion to win the game.

While Centennial’s season came to an abrupt end, Liberty moves on to challenge top-seed Chandler, which demolished Desert Edge 52-0 in the playoff opener.

After ASU cancels third San Francisco 49ers to game, Herm Edwards set up ‘second home’ at State Farm Stadium reflects on isolation

BY CHRISTIAN BABCOCK Cronkite News

For the third-straight week, Arizona State canceled its football game despite optimism for a return to the field.

That left coach Herm Edwards reflecting on how much he missed spending time with his players, something he couldn’t do while isolating with COVID-19.

“You have these reflection moments when you’re sitting there, laying there, whatever you’re doing. And you just think about all the things that are really important in your life,” Edwards said the day before Thanksgiving. “And it was important for me to make sure that I was safe. I kept my family safe for the most part.

“But then getting back to the players.

It was quite a day for me when I actually came back and saw the players.

You don’t realize how much you miss it until it’s taken away from you in that sense. And so I’m glad I’m back.”

The Pac-12 announced the cancellation of ASU’s game against Utah and attributed it to the now-common refrain of the Sun Devils having too few scholarship players to play.

The game had previously been postponed.

Edwards said his experience with the virus is something he doesn’t “wish upon anyone.”

He “did everything possible not to” contract COVID-19, Edwards said, but acknowledged that he expected to some degree to become infected eventually.

“I told my wife when we first started this deal, I said, ‘You know what, I’m probably gonna catch it,’” he said. “I was well aware of that. I knew exactly what I was walking into.”

Ray Anderson, ASU’s vice president of athletics, said in a statement that the “timing of the previously reported positive results coupled with the return-to-play guidelines have stretched over parts of three weeks, which makes it unsafe for several of our players to

Even though he wore a mask at practices, Arizona State coach Herm Edwards still tested positive for COVID-19. He said the experience of quarantining made him realize how much he missed the team.

compete (Nov. 22).”

But he did express optimism that ASU will be able to play its game against UCLA. “Notwithstanding any new issues, we are confident in our chances of playing football next week,” he said.

The cancellation marks another week that ASU has been rocked by the COVID-19 outbreak within the program. While the Sun Devils have acknowledged that Edwards tested positive, they have not released other testing data, including the number of positive tests for players or members of the coaching staff.

Arizona is a one of a handful of states to share the dubious distinction of multiple head football coaches testing positive for COVID-19. Arizona coach Kevin Sumlin tested positive in October and has since recovered.

Other states include Ohio (Kent State’s Sean Lewis and Toledo’s Jason Candle), Florida (Florida’s Dan Mullen, Florida State’s Mike Norvell and Miami’s Manny Diaz), Arkansas (Arkansas’ Sam Pittman and Arkansas State’s Blake Anderson) and Alabama (Alabama’s Nick Saban and Troy’s Chip Lindsey).

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Meet the “Glendale 49ers.”

In yet another twist to a bizarre year, the San Francisco 49ers will play two “home” games at State Farm Stadium.

The 49ers made an announcement Nov. 30, shortly after learning Santa Clara County—where the team normally plays—was temporarily banning sporting events.

“The San Francisco 49ers have come to an agreement with the National Football League and Arizona Cardinals which allows the 49ers to host their Weeks 13 and 14 home games

against the Buffalo Bills and Washington Football Team at State Farm Stadium,” according to the announcement.

The 49ers will “host” the Buffalo Bills for Monday Night Football on Dec. 7 and then the Washington Football Team on Dec. 13 in Glendale.

The team thanked “the Cardinals organization, State Farm Stadium and league officials.”

The 49ers were still figuring out if they would practice in the Bay Area and fly to Arizona for games or set up camp with practices as well as games here over the next few weeks.

State Farm Stadium will be the temporary “home” of the San Francisco 49ers for the next two weeks. (Glendale Star file photo)

How Arizona universities are riding the waves of COVID-19

BY HAILLIE PARKER Cronkite News

Due to a rising wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, many West Valley public school districts, including Glendale Elementary School District and Glendale Union High School District, temporarily closed classroooms for a return to online learning only.

But some charter and other public schools, like Peoria Unified and Deer Valley school districts, have kept classrooms open.

As cases of COVID-19 continue to surge in Arizona and the rest of the nation, the state’s three public universities are wrangling their approaches to the pandemics.

Arizona State University developed a saliva-based test and aims to monitor the spread through frequent mass testing, including at ASU West Campus in Glendale.

The University of Arizona, unlike its counterparts, invested in a wastewater test to monitor the spread in highly populated places on campus and suggested a shelter-in-place initiative.

Northern Arizona University, the smallest of the three, has changed the least. It adopted ASU’s saliva test and shares UArizona’s system for contact tracing, but it has been the most lenient with in-person education, offering classes with fewer than 45 students.

As the end of the semester nears, holiday travel ramps up and the pandemic reaches a critical juncture, college campuses and their thousands of students are being further scrutinized.

All three Arizona universities will end all in-person classes after the Thanksgiving holiday and recommended students and faculty get tested before any holiday travel and before they return in the spring.

the university’s “chief well-being officer.”

Pipe said the adjustment was made easier by technical support and resources from the school setting up ASU Sync—the school’s way of holding class in real time, virtually.

UArizona and NAU have adopted similar programs for teaching classes remotely and holding students accountable for a regular class schedule.

Each school also requires a daily health check to keep track of the number of students on campus and as a reminder for each student to “check in” on how they are feeling that day.

ASU, one of the largest universities in the nation, distributed resource kits as part of its Community of Care program to students, faculty and staff to promote health and safety on and off campus. Each care package has reusable face masks, a thermometer and hand sanitizer.

ASU’s provost, Mark Searle, in an announcement on Nov. 7 named students’ off-campus behavior as an issue. But one student said those guidelines are inconsistent and vague.

“I think a lot of it is off campus, but there are ways on campus to spread it really easily,” said Lane, who remained in her dorm for the semester, even with a schedule packed with online classes.

The UArizona’s positive infection rate has stayed low since its shelterin-place initiative, resting around 2% on Nov. 24 while the school manages 30 cases among students, faculty and staff.

That compares to 65 student cases as of Nov. 20 at NAU and 408 current active cases at ASU. Cases for all three schools are on the rise, similar to statewide and national trends.

Thirty-seven nails speaking about speaking Read the following story from an unknown author. Enjoy it and employ it.

There was a boy with a bad temper.

His father gave him a bag of nails and told him to every time he lost his temper hammer a nail in the back fence.

The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then the nail incidents gradually dwindled. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive nails into the fence.

Finally, the day came when the boy stopped losing his temper. He told his father about it. The father then suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day he held his temper.

The days passed, and the young boy could finally tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like on this fence.

It won’t matter how many times you tell the fence you are sorry; the wound is still there.”

That is quite an illustration. Have you ever said something to another

and then mentally chased the words as the words out of your mouth? I sure have. It’s like my words came out of my mouth in slow motion. I was thinking, “Come back, words, come back.”

But once those words left my mouth, I couldn’t take them back. A verbal wound can be as harmful as a physical wound. The results can be devastating to us and others.

Here’s some advice for controlling this issue: You won’t have to watch what you say if you watch what you think. Here’s another thought: Sometimes you have to say what you mean, but that doesn’t give you the right to be mean when you say it. Enough said!

That little tongue of ours can be used for good and not so good at the same time. Words have the power to heal or hurt; to help or hinder; to build up or tear down; to bless or curse; to speak

here is what he said: “Yes, I’m am pleased that John Jr. had a good season this year. He does a fine job, and I am proud of him. But I would be just as proud of him if he never played a game at all.”

In other words, his son would not lose his father’s respect if the next year brought failure and disappointment.

His place in his father’s heart was secure and not tied to his performance.

As a result of this, McKay would not be blabbing to the press about his son’s poor performance if that happened.

That’s the kind of love, commitment and verbal awareness we all could use for speaking life into awkward or intense situations.

Unfortunately, in today’s world, it seems that many visible leaders are using words more to curse than bless, to tear down than build up. Don’t allow what’s on the outside of you get inside of you. Why? The example we see can be the example that we become. Don’t let that happen to you. Now that you have read this article, why don’t you become an example for them? Be a sample of a better example.

the truth or speak lies; to love or hate; to ruin reputation or release potential.

Words set on fire the course of our lives and the lives of others, either positively or negatively.

The illustration above points out that time or even asking for forgiveness can take out the nails, but the scars are still there. We all have been both the perpetrator of hurtful words and the victim of hurtful words. Likewise, we have built up others and been built up by others by words said in a better way because we resisted our impulse to emote rather than promote.

If we don’t want to spend our time pulling nails out of fences caused by offenses and fixing holes in the fences we created, let’s speak the truth in love, not with a glove or a shove.

Here’s a great example of a football coach who learned the power of speaking life words rather than death words.

The coach was John McKay of the University of Southern California. His son was a successful football player for the University of Southern California. When an interviewer asked coach McKay to comment on how proud he felt over his son’s accomplishments,

Let’s consider a verse in the Bible that sums up the article for this week perfectly. “Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.”

Eph. 4:31.

Why did I write this article today? It’s

easy. Human beings and fish are both alike. They both get into trouble when they open their mouths. Thus, saith the 37 nails speaking about speaking.
