Three months ago, White Claw, arguably the hottest beverage in the country, was introduced to the West Valley, arguably the hottest economic center in Arizona. They met; they liked; shotgun wedding. Mark Anthony Brewing, the makers of trendy hard-seltzer drink White Claw, picked Glendale for a $250 million production plant to be built “in record time.” The production facility will be nearly 1 million square feet. “The primary reason we selected Glendale was the innovative thinking and personal support of Gov. Doug Ducey, the city of Glendale, the Arizona Commerce Authority and their willingness to embrace our vision and commit to the support required for our rapid build-out and aggressive timeline,” said John Sacksteder, president of

Death sentence for ‘worst of the worst’ BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

A Peoria man who plotted his wife’s murder for two years before killing her was sentenced to death last week. A jury gave Edward Littleton McCauley the death sentence Thursday, Jan. 9, for fatally shooting his estranged wife in front of her Glendale home in 2014. McCauley, 63, was convicted of first-degree murder Nov. 5. “This murder was a heinous and callous act,” said Maricopa County Attorney

The Glendale

Allister Adel. “In the state of Arizona, a sentence of death is reserved for the worst of the worst. The calculated actions taken by this defendant to murder his estranged wife justify this outcome.” Court records show McCauley’s attorneys unsuccessfully argued first for a mistrial, stating he had a “mental disorder” and did not deserve death. On the night of Nov. 24, 2014, McCauley waited for hours outside his estranged wife’s home. She was working the night shift.

Around midnight, Glendale Police received calls of gunshots at 5726 W. Cortez Street, near Cactus and North 59th avenues, according to a police report. When officers arrived, they found Dawn McCauley, 45, slumped over in her vehicle in front of her home. She had numerous gunshots to her body and was treated at the scene, then transported to a local trauma center, where she died.

A woman died in a Glendale apartment fire early Monday, Jan. 13. Chris James, a spokesman for the Glendale Fire Department, said a fire was reported around 2:30 a.m. in an apartment complex near Northern and 52nd avenues. “The residents on the second-floor apartment smelled smoke and called 911 when they found the patio below them was on fire and catching their apartment on fire,” said James. He said four people and two dogs were in the apartment where the fire started. “One female was burned badly with smoke inhalation. Fire crews tried to save her but she succumbed to her injuries,” James said. A man in his 20s was also burned and suffered smoke inhalation, “he was treated and transported to a burn unit,” James said. There was no update on the man’s

condition at press time. Two people and one dog were not injured. Another dog died, James said. Wilma Vancil, the woman who lives in the apartment where the fire started, told the Glendale Star she was in bed when she was awakened. “Me and my boyfriend were in bed sleeping and I heard this big bang on the door,” Vancil said. “Someone was pounding on the door. And all I hear is (her friend) saying, ‘There’s a fire. We have to get out,’ and I grabbed my two dogs and ran out.” She said as she was escaping her apartment, she could already see the fire breaking through the porch sliding doors. “If it hadn’t been for that pounding on the door, we could’ve died in there too,” Vancil said. She said she lost almost everything and she doesn’t know where she will go. The American Red Cross was assisting displaced residents.

Money on lawmakers’ minds as they return to work BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

State lawmakers returned to the Capitol Monday to deal with something they appear to have plenty: Money and who gets it. State tax collections have been running ahead of projections made when lawmakers adopted the $11.8 billion spending plan for the fiscal year that began last July 1. Projections suggest the state could end the fiscal year this coming June 30 with an extra $750 million or more, perhaps even approaching $1 billion. That’s money available for lawmakers to spend next budget year – or to permanently cut taxes as some are proposing. And that doesn’t even take into account future collections. Any discussion will have to include more than how much there is. The more important issue is how much of that surplus is likely to recur in future years. Sen. J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler, said the issue is simple: Don’t commit money now for projects and programs unless you’re sure the money will continue to be there. “Last I had heard, 30%-ish, maybe 25% of the surplus is considered ongoing,’’ said Mesnard who chairs the Senate Finance Committee. “So we want to make sure that’s the pot we commit ourselves into the future or to cut taxes in some sort of permanent way.’’ The balance, he said, is one-time money. “We can invest that in roads and onetime projects that are hugely helpful to our state but don’t commit us to some long-term obligation,’’ Mesnard said. That latter category is going to cover a lot of wish-list projects. Consider, for example, the $20 million that Rep. David Cook, R-Globe, wants for a bridge over Tonto Creek if a request for federal dollars comes up empty. Fund it once and it’s done

State legislators went back to work this week, with as much as an extra $1 billion in revenues. More money is expected to boost education funding. (Photo courtesy Capitol Media)

Others have their own pet projects. Rep. T.J. Shope, R-Coolidge, wants the state to widen Interstate 10 from south of Phoenix into Pinal County. Shope said there is no reason for that 26-mile section to remain two lanes in each direction when everything on either side is three lanes. But the price tag on that could reach $500 million. Rep. Ben Toma, R-Peoria, is focused largely on the other pot of funds, the surplus that is likely to continue. There likely will be a push to put additional dollars into K-12 education. “We are committed to putting more dollars into the classroom every year,’’ gubernatorial press aide Patrick Ptak told Capitol Media Services, promising “full details’’ when Ducey releases his budget late next week. Toma, for his part, has a specific target in mind: accelerate restoration of what’s called “district additional assistance.’’ That is a special allocation of state dollars to schools to pay for things like computers, books and buses. Only thing is, lawmakers seeking to balance the budget failed to fund it for years,

including $117 million cut by Ducey his first year in office. The governor has committed to restoration of the full $372 million – but not until the 2022-2023 fiscal year. Toma said that, given the state’s current financial condition, there’s no reason to wait that long. House Minority Leader Charlene Fernandez, D-Yuma, said that’s a start. But she doesn’t believe that goes far enough given the cuts to public education since before the recession. Consider: In the 2007-2008 school year the state put $5.2 billion into K-12 education. Legislative budget staffers estimate the figure for this year at $6.5 billion. And, on paper, the per-pupil aid went from $4,996 to $5,762. But if you consider the effects of inflation, that $4,996 is now worth only about $4,685. It’s not just Democrats focused on K-12 needs. Sens. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, and Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, want to put a measure on the 2020 ballot to increase the existing 0.6-cent state sales tax for education to a full

tar

penny, a move that could bring in an additional $550 million to $600 million a year. “I think that’s the sweet spot,’’ Brophy McGee said, saying that’s a number that the public is likely willing to accept. The trick, however, is getting her colleagues to agree to put it to voters. The funds raised would not just be for K-12. Lawmakers from both parties say state aid to community colleges has not kept pace. In fact, the systems in Maricopa and Pima counties get no state aid at all, though there has been funding for special programs. And then there is the university system where the state’s share of the cost of tuition for Arizona residents has dropped from about 75% to just half that. “And we wonder why tuition has gone up,’’ Fernandez said. Voters actually may get a choice of funding measures. Other groups are crafting a plan to boost income taxes on the most wealthy under the premise that sales taxes are regressive – the poor pay a higher percentage of their income than the rich – and the simple political fact that it could be crafted so the higher tax rates kick in only at higher incomes, leaving most voters unaffected. There are some other education-related issues potentially seeing a financial impact, including adding even more cash for counselors and providing more dollars to the state Department of Education to investigate misconduct allegations against teachers. But the debate about the cash is about more than how to spend it. Toma said that a newly imposed sales tax on internet purchases – the result of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in a case called South Dakota v. Wayfair – is bringing in more than anticipated.

The 2020 Arizona Legislature, by the numbers

BY CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES

House of Representatives:

Senate:

So he wants to give some of that back. “We should be looking at additional relief for the taxpayers because none of the Wayfair decision was intended as a massive increase in income to the government, at least not on the state tax,’’ he said. His choice for where to cut? “I will tell you that my least favorite tax is the property tax,’’ Toma said. “And the reason for that is I really feel that’s a hidden tax, that people don’t feel,’’ he explained. “They feel it, but they don’t really realize that they’re getting pummeled, if you will.” Mesnard is also focused on lower property taxes, particularly for business. Business property used to be assessed for tax purposes at 25% of “full cash value,’’ essentially a rough approximation of market value. Prior tax cuts have taken that to 18%. The plan would trim that again. But the problem is that lowering taxes for one type of property increases the burden for others – including homeowners. And that has political implications: homeowners vote, businesses do not. Mesnard envisions the state using some of its surpluses to make up the difference so the tax bill on homeown-

ers does not go up. That maneuver, coupled with other changes in the Mesnard plan, could trim state revenues by $400 million a year by the time it is fully implemented. Fernandez said don’t look for Democrat support. “A tax cut? That’s not one of the things that’s on the table for us,’’ she said. Fernandez said lawmakers cut taxes by about $325 million last year with changes to things like the standard deduction on income taxes, a new tax credit of $100 per child and lowering the tax rates for those earning more than $26,500 a year. Republicans justified the move as simply making up for the fact that changes in federal tax law increased the state tax liability for many Arizonans. The tax cuts, they said, avoided a “windfall’’ for the state. Fernandez said her constituents and “stakeholders’’ – those who provide and depend on government programs – had a different take. “That last tax cut, I think it equaled $12 per person per year,’’ she said. “They would rather have a significant investment they could see,’’ Fernandez continued. “And that would be in public education and/or infrastructure.”

Republicans release majority plan for 2020 BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Republicans in the Arizona House of Representatives are promising “tax relief for Arizonans” in 2020. Last week, House Majority Leader Warren Petersen, R-12, released the House Republican Caucus’ Majority Plan for the upcoming 2020 legislative session. In 2019, the House Republicans put forward a Majority Plan to meet the specific needs and challenges of the time. Working closely with the Senate and the governor, every major component of the plan was accomplished, Petersen said. “Under Republican leadership, Arizona has reduced its debt, balanced its budget, protected constitutional rights, cut regulations, increased its credit rating, and dramatically increased education funding,” said Petersen.

According to a press release, caucus priorities for the 2020 Legislative Session include support for: • Investment in K-12 education. • Protecting parental and constitutional rights. • Providing tax relief to Arizonans. • Strengthening border security. • Supporting public safety and criminal justice. • Improving transportation throughout Arizona. • Paying off debt. • Preserving Arizona’s water supply. • Promote affordable health care.

Weight loss surgery is generally designed for those with a body mass index (BMI) equal to or greater than 40, or equal to or greater than 35 with serious co-morbidities. Laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding with the Lap Band® is also FDA-approved for weight loss surgery in people with a BMI of 30 to 35 who have at least one obesity-related condition. Weight loss surgery is considered safe, but like many types of surgery, it does have risks. Consult with your physician about the risks and benefits of weight loss surgery.

Governor looking into funding Tonto Bridge BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Gov. Doug Ducey sent a letter Jan. 8 to U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine L. Chao urging her to prioritize funding for the Tonto Creek Bridge in Gila County. Tonto Basin, which is divided by the Tonto Creek, is a 1,500-resident community in Gila County. When the Tonto Creek floods, it blocks residents from accessing schools, healthcare and amenities. In November, Austin Rawlings, of Peoria, and two other children were killed after their family’s vehicle became stranded in the creek during a time of high water. “Residents need a bridge over Tonto Creek for basic safety and quality of

life needs,” Ducey said in the letter. “Since 1995 eight people have died while attempting to cross in their vehicles during high-water times.” In Dec. 2019, President Donald Trump signed Fiscal Year 2020 spending bills to included $1 billion for the BUILD Grant program. In the letter, Ducey explained the Tonto Bridge would be an excellent candidate benefiting the Tonto Basin’s safety efforts, quality of life and economic competitiveness. “The Arizona Department of Transportation stands ready to provide technical review and assistance to Gila County through its BUILD Grant application,” he said. “I look forward to offering my continued support.”

Here’s hoping the 2020s aren’t like the 2010s BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

Once you hit the far side of age 50, the coming of a new year ranks as a solemn moment. And the dawn of a new decade? It makes you take stock. After all, how many new decades are you likely to see once you’ve lived a half-century? Making it to 2050 means I’ll have lived to be 84. At best, I’m likely to see four more “it’s a new decade” celebrations. Let’s hope none of those are accompanied by the feeling created by the ﬁnal days of the 2010s. I’d describe my state of mind and heart to you in great detail, except they frown on that sort of language in a family newspaper. It was something along the lines of goodbye and good riddance, except with saltier modiﬁers. They don’t let me write the headlines for these columns, but if I could it would involve enormous block type and six words: The Decade America Lost Its Mind.

Our Prices Can’t Be Beat! Drive-Thru/Take-Out Our Specialty

Seriously, with the exception of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, can you think of a single thing better today than it was the day the calendar ﬂipped from 2009 to 2010? Politics? Ha. Entertainment? Haha. The workplace? The world of sports? Fashion? Pop culture? The Internet? I don’t’ see it. We even managed to screw up carbonated water in the 2010s. Back in the day, seltzer used to be something your grandma drank in a Gin Rickey while gramps was away in Korea. Occasionally, you might order a vodka soda. Now sparkling water is everywhere, spiked with booze in White Claws and available in fancy ﬂavors like LaCroix’s pamplemousse concoction. Just what the decade needed: Yet another way to secret incredibly expensive urine. Even fads were horrible in the 2010s. Remember people planking everywhere? Obsessing over Pokémon Go?

Posting idiotic Facebook videos featuring the “Ice Bucket Challenge?” And what about ﬁdget spinners? Still, nothing atrocious about the 2010s compares to the inherent awfulness of social media, at least in my book. For decades, Americans fretted about the loss of privacy to credit card companies, insurance conglomerates and telemarketers. Then we spent a solid 10 years telling everyone everything about our personal lives – what we had for lunch, where we went on vacation and what we think about every political ﬁgure and news story to come down the pike. As 2019 and the decade came to a close, I found myself missing the way we used to keep certain topics off-limits in American life. Remember when we didn’t discuss politics in polite company? Or ask people how much they weigh or how much money the earn? Now we don’t have to ask anyone about anything, because people voluntarily put it all out there. My New Year’s resolution going into what I hope will be

the Roaring 2020s? I want some mystery back in my life. So, for this year I’ve resolved to swear off personal social media, both posting and reading. I’m hoping to leave obsessively checking Facebook and Twitter back in the 2010s, which is where we ought to leave many of the other nightmares we created for ourselves last decade. Here’s to no more avocado toast. No more ripped jeans. No more Spiderman or Full House reboots. No more pumpkin spice. No more Zumba infomercials. No more Ugg boots on men. No more Real Housewives of anywhere. No more endless chatter about “going gluten-free.” No more dabbing, Tebowing or twerking. No more Kardashians. No more Angry Birds or Candy Crush. And no more hipsters. They say the past is prologue. Let’s hope the story of the decade ahead isn’t a reboot of the dreadful 10 years just past. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

opment agreement will be coming back. The planning process for rezoning is a separate process. The purchase (agreement) requires a closing in April regardless of where we are in zoning,” he reiterated. Ron Short of the Save Glen Lakes group insisted at the Dec. 10 council meeting the rezoning would require a major General Plan amendment. He followed up with a detailed letter, attaching relevant sections of the city’s General Plan and state statutes. Phelps said he gave serious consideration to Short’s oral presentation and written follow-up. “I asked our planning administrator and city attorney to do a deeper dive, and they have communicated to council the way we are processing this is consistent with past practices,” Phelps said. Though agreeing an amendment is needed, the city’s position is that it requires a far less cumbersome one: “The property will be processed as a minor General Plan amendment and will be accompanied by a zoning application,” said Lisa Collins, the city’s planning administrator. It should be another interesting week for the down-but-not-out golf course. Jane Bachmann of the Save Glen Lakes group was encouraged by last week’s neighborhood meeting, part of the rezoning process. Normally, neighborhood meetings are formalities, attended by a handful, if that. Not so for the Glen Lakes meeting, with nearly 100 in attendance and shouting out their opinions. “The overall sentiment from the crowd was they were fed up,” Bachmann said. She vowed the ﬁght to save Glen Lakes is not over: “The Planning Commission will listen to compelling testimony of residents and it may inﬂuence them.”

Millennials still face homeownership challenges BY LINDSAY WALKER Cronkite News

that private mortgage insurance every month.” “It’s helping for those that can afford it,” she said of the rule change. Roberts said cities, especially in states like Arizona where the population is booming, need to develop policy solutions to ease the problems of affordability and an increasing lack of housing supply. In Lake Havasu, where Roberts is based, the housing vacancy rate is as low as 1% or 2%, she said. “These cities need to be more proactive and ﬁgure out how to get more affordable housing so that the millennials can buy at a cheaper price,” she said. For Kump, her struggle was worth it. “It was such an empowering moment when I bought my own home,” she said. “I am a 28-year-old woman and I bought my own home, and I live alone. That comes with a lot of pride for me.”

With more than $58,000 in student loan debt from Northern Arizona University and a full-time job barely getting her from paycheck to paycheck, Kaitlin Kump never thought she would be able to buy a home in her 20s. Kump buckled down, worked three or four jobs at a time and lived in her grandfather’s spare bedroom rent-free for several months until she finally saved enough money to buy her very own condo. But Kump, 28, is an exception among millennials, many of whom entered the job market during the 2008 Saddled with student debt and hindered by the fact that many entered the workforce during the recession, millennials have been slower to buy their first homes than previous generations, which economic recession.

West Valley native Kole signs with D-backs BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor

Buckeye Union High School graduate Kole Calhoun called signing a two-year deal with the D-backs “a dream come true.” The terms of the contract were not disclosed. “I was born and raised here, so I grew up a Diamondbacks fan,” Calhoun said. “As a kid, I always dreamed of playing for the Diamondbacks and now I have the opportunity and I couldn’t be more excited.” His former team, the Los Angeles Angels, bought out for $1 million the $14 million option on Calhoun’s contract.

“When the Angels decided to decline my option, (the D-backs) were calling,” he said. “I think just for me, personally, I wanted to be on a team who wanted me. Having that phone call the very first day and for the Diamondbacks to be so engaging, it was something I wanted.” Calhoun, 32, ranks third among all AL outfielders since 2014 in RBI (416) and total bases (1,406), trailing Mike Trout/LAA (533 RBI/1,758 TB) and Mookie Betts/BOS (455 RBI/1,616 TB) respectively. Additionally, Calhoun is fourth during that span with 132 home runs, behind Trout (217), George Springer/

HOU (149) and Betts (137), and 821 hits, which are fewer than only Betts (935), Trout (881) and Brett Gardner/ NYY (834). Defensively, the former Arizona State Sun Devil (2009-10), is a fourtime American League Rawlings Gold Glove Award finalist in right field (2015, 2017-2019), including winning the top fielding award in 2015. In the last five years (2015-19), Calhoun leads all right fielders with 6,478 innings and 45 assists. A 2006 Buckeye Union High School graduate, Calhoun will become the sixth D-back to play baseball in high school, college (four-year university) and the Major Leagues in Arizona (also: Jake Barrett, Tuffy Gosewisch, Merrill Kelly, Cody Ransom and Ed Vosberg), and eighth Sun Devil to don a D-backs’ jersey (also: Willie Bloomquist, Jake Elmore, Mike Leake, Deven Marrero, Barrett, Gosewisch and Kelly). Calhoun was teammates with current D-backs pitcher Merrill Kelly at Yavapai College and ASU. A Tempe resident, Calhoun set ca-

reer highs in 2019 with the Angels in home runs (33), slugging pct. (.467), OPS (.792), extra-base hits (63) and runs scored (92). Calhoun remembers watching the 2001 World Series between the Diamondbacks and the Yankees on television. Having the opportunity to play in Chase Field is exciting. “It’s something that’s very, very special for me,” Calhoun said. “Getting to wear that uniform and representing the Diamondbacks is something I’m definitely looking forward to. I really can’t wait to get started.” Calhoun admitted the recent signing of former San Francisco Giants All-Star Madison Bumgarner further encouraged him to ink with the D-backs. “That was another big factor for me,” he said. “As I was getting further along in my career, I wanted to go to a team who is really looking to win. This team has really made a splash with a free-agent arm. It’s really exciting and all of these factors come into play.” Playing for the D-backs fits his mold as a player, Calhoun added. “I go out and play really hard,” he said. “I leave it all out there on the field. I’m looking forward to fine-tuning going into next season. Honestly, I’m going to come to the ballpark ready to compete. “I know I’m definitely getting older—I mean age is not really on my side and I know that—but recovery has become something that’s very vital to me.” He’s thrilled, though, to join the likes of David Peralta, Bumgarner and Robbie Ray. “We have a great group of guys,” he said. “The pieces they’ve added since last season, along with the core group of guys who are there, I’m just really excited about it.”

After tumultous year, soccer team attempts comeback BY GRIFFIN FABITS

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

The Washington High School boys soccer team clearly is back. The Rams won the Arizona Soccer Showcase tournament, hosted in late-December. The team is looking for another postseason berth, as is customary under 25-year head coach Adam Roberts. Roberts and the Rams appeared in the postseason nearly every season since taking over the program in the 1990s. Last year was an exception. The Rams are a year removed from a tumultuous season. Last year, the team learned after the final game of the regular season a player was ineligible (due to playing for a club team). So Washington had to forfeit 12 games they won and missed the playoffs. Their overall record stooped to 4-141, despite being the top team in the 4A Black Canyon Conference. Last year’s events give this year’s team a feeling of “unfinished business,”

Roberts said. “I think this year’s seniors kind of feel like they had an obligation to go back and demonstrate this could be done again. They’re kind of on a mission to get us back to the point where we were at so we can go ahead and finish up what we had started last year.” Roberts is impressed with the unselfishness of all 22 on his roster.

“I’m asking guys to come in and play some roles that maybe they don’t necessarily play normally,” he said. One of them is Martin Luala, a standout sophomore midfielder who shifted to a defensive position this year. “He’s playing left-back right now on defense, and normally he would play center-mid in an attacking position,” Roberts said, “but I already have some

attacking midfielders. So, Martin’s ability to play at left-back and his willingness, is testament to the sacrifice these players make when they say, ‘Hey, we want to get the best team on the field.’” Roberts is also fortunate to plug senior captain Sergio Pacheco into his everyday lineup. Pacheco, tabbed by his head coach as one of the team’s best players “sets an example in the way he plays and how he practices,” Roberts said. Though a longtime coach, Roberts said he gets excited about every team he coaches. “I think every team is special. You have different groups of kids. I have been there, as far as being a coach, where you get a group of kids and you bring them in as freshmen and they start working and trying to build their fouryear legacy and progress from there. I think every group is special. “I think every group of athletes kind of have their own goal to set that year. It’s a different dynamic every year.”

‘Living free of dementia’ promotes healthy living BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Glendale Star Staff Writer

Dr. Timothy Gerhart is less concerned with a quick and easy solution to dementia and focuses on encouraging a long path of healthy decisions. “We don’t make people well,” Gerhart said. “We guide them on a journey towards improving their wellness.” Gerhart is hosting a free, three-part series about living free of dementia and leading a healthy life. The classes will take place 6:30 p.m. Jan. 31, Feb. 28 and March 27 at Renovare Wellness by Design in Peoria. Seats are limited, so people interested are encouraged to call to reserve their spot. Gerhart is a licensed chiropractic physician who focuses on looking beyond patients’ symptoms to understand why they are having health problems. He has more than 35 years of experience in teaching physicians and patients how to solve the puzzle of chronic diseases. “I’m a holistic doctor because people come to me with a whole long list of problems,” Gerhart said. In his work, Gerhart said he encounters many misconceptions about dementia and mental problems. He said many people believe dementia happens as an effect of aging, bad luck and it can’t be helped. “That’s not what the research tells us,” Gerhart said. “It tells us dementia is a re-

sult of many years of a lifestyle failing to fit our genetic needs.” The classes explain how to look at overall health and adapt lifestyle choices to specific gene pools. The first class focuses on natural solutions to living free of anxiety, depression and sleep problems, Gerhart said. “We know anxiety and depression are two sides of the same coin and over time, they increase the risk of neurodegeneration,” Gerhart said. “Dementia is just one

facet of the brain degenerating.” The second class focuses on natural solutions to living free of fatigue, concussion and brain fog. He said energy is particularly important to mental health. “If you could give a suffering brain one gift, it would be the gift of energy,” Gerhart said. “We’ve learned dementia is really a disease of the mitochondria, which are the energy factories in every cell where we make energy.” The lack of energy creates inﬂammation and can damage the brain and even lead to shrinking of the brain, Gerhart said, something that can lead to health problems like dementia. The last class will touch on digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome and inﬂammatory bowel disease. The digestive system, Gerhart said, is very important to the mental health of a person. “Our digestive system is sometimes referred to as our second brain,” Gerhart said. “The brain in our skull has 100 billion neurons and the gut has 500 million neurons. So, our ‘second brain’ is really important.” Gerhart said, the digestive system and the brain are so interconnected, they are vital to each other. So, what are the best lifestyle choices for people? Gerhart said this is impossible to answer as everyone has different genetic needs.

“Everybody is different,” Gerhart said. “One size does not ﬁt all and there’s no magic solution to dementia.” He recommends people follow what he calls the Therapeutic Lifestyle Change, which encourages them to learn what their body needs and adapt to it. “There are eight pieces to the puzzle, and we want to bring these into balance,” Gerhart said. These pieces include basic factors like diet and exercise. Gerhart said what truly fuels his passion is being able to help people and see the improvement of their health over time. “When we see enough encouraging and improvement, sometimes dramatic improvement, it really makes it dramatically satisfying to know we’re making a difference in somebody’s life,” Gerhart said. “We want to make a dent in the tsunami of dementia that’s coming our way. We must do things differently.”

How much do genes impact ﬁtness? BY ERIN MAHONEY

Glendale Star Guest Writer

Olympic and professional athletes, and even your friend who wins every tennis match—is their athleticism based wholly on genetics or are they affected by something more? If you think it takes more than just genetics, you’re right. But how much more? And what can you do to alter what your genes provide? DNA deﬁnes our overall potential and 40% of our abilities – meaning more than half is within our control. For example, a sprinter could have the potential to break a world record but, without the training time, proper nutrition and optimal lifestyle choices, may never get there. Genetic testing can help us understand where a person is starting from and know how to better stimulate the 60% within their control. A personal trainer qualiﬁed in this specialization through International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) can now use genetic information to realign a client’s program and nutrition to help them reach their goals faster. Here are a few genetic traits impacting athletic performance:

Fitness Response to Cardio

This trait carries some weight when it comes to performance. It shows the degree to which your fitness levels will increase by performing cardio exercise. There are many factors such as lung capacity, resting heart rate and recovery rate. People fall into normal, below average or low genotypes. Each specific genotype identifies how often to perform cardio, how long and at what intensity.

Body Composition/ Strength Training

Sports like wrestling, bodybuilding, and functional ﬁtness athletes all can see a beneﬁt to having lower body composition. That’s not saying it’s not important for other sports, just it may not have as large of an impact. This trait helps a person understand not only

how they’re going to react to strength training, but also what kind is best for them. It also dictates how many days per week an athlete needs to strength train to make gains in their sport.

Intrinsic Motivation to Exercise

This gives insight into what drives someone to train for their sport. Those with a more likely genotype require less external motivation. They simply enjoy training and don’t need much motivation to get through it. Those who have a less likely genotype require more motivation. These people need a workout partner, competition or goal. They don’t enjoy the process of training the same way they enjoy competing with a partner.

Power and Endurance Potential

DNA can tell us what sort of exercise we are predisposed to be good at. A person falls into one of three categories: More power; equal power and endurance; more endurance. This is the genetic predisposition of the muscle ﬁbers in the body. Still, training has a lot to do with the actual output of an athlete. For example, a test may indicate you are an equal power and endurance genotype. But through training, you have gained more endurance muscle ﬁbers allowing you to be better at your sport.

Systemic inflammation is the inflammation in the body we don’t see. Genetics can tell us if we are susceptible to this sort of inflammation. If an athlete is more susceptible, they may need extra rest time and planned recovery between training sessions. Those with a higher risk of systemic inflammation are at a higher risk of injury. This is also crucial for a trainer to understand and offers insight into what the athlete needs for recovery as well as volume and progressions throughout training. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or just getting started with a fitness regime, anyone looking for a fitness edge can benefit from learning about how DNA can help you train smarter and achieve your fitness goals faster. Erin Mahoney is the vice president of Education for International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA), an international fitness certifications provider.

Exercise Heart Rate Response

Having a lower resting heart rate is beneficial. As a person becomes more fit, their heart rate doesn’t rise as much to keep oxygen flowing to the muscles, in turn giving them greater endurance. Exercise heart rate response clues a trainer in on what sort of results in heart rate a person will have with longer endurance training. It also indicates how well they handle endurance.

Systemic Inﬂammation and Injury Risk

Though assessed as two separate traits, these indicators go hand in hand.

How to unleash the giant hiding inside of you Years ago, our oldest son was experiencing some learning difﬁculties in high school. My wife, oldest son and I went to meet with a specialist a friend had recommended to us. We all took some sort of test individually so the specialist could see where each of us stood on certain issues. Afterward, she discussed the test results with us. She started by saying that my oldest son and my wife were seeing things pretty much the same way which was good. Then she looked at me and said, “Well Ed, you just see life differently, don’t you?” Ouch. I’m not sure what that meant but there was smirking from the peanut gallery (my wife and son) about her statement.

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

The specialist did a great job of diagnosing some physiological issues that our son had since he was a baby. His therapy was some simple coordination exercises. He took off like a rocket. He went from getting C’s in his classes to the honor roll his last two years in high school. Those simple exercises released and unleashed the “giant” inside of him to move to the outside

of him. That appointment changed his life. He saw himself differently. I like the concept of unleashing the giant inside of us. My wife would say that concept is something I would like too. I have always been a potential person. As a pastor and leader, I see the potential in people before they ever see it. I tend to see where people can be or could be. Sometimes my insight is problematic because it can blind me to where people currently are. Sometimes people don’t want to be where they could be. They are comfortable or uncomfortable where they are and want to remain there. You can’t rescue the damsel if she loves her distress. The way I’m using “giant” here is a concept. It’s being all that you can be. It’s potential. It’s not living a life of underachieving, becoming codependent, or something like that. It’s you, being you, with God all over you. There’s a “giant” God put in you, but you need to see it, in order to be it. Maybe unleashing the giant within us starts with us seeing things differently. Mark Twain said, “It’s not just the size of the dog in the ﬁght; it’s the size of the ﬁght in the dog.” There was a shepherd boy in the Bible named David. He was the youngest son and the least likely candidate for a new king for God’s people. But just like you and me, God put a “giant” inside of him. But David needed to access and appropriate that giant. The same is true for us. God gave his prophet Samuel some advice in choosing the next king from David’s other fancy older brothers. “Do not look at his appearance or the size of his stature, because I have not chosen him; for God sees not as a man sees, for man looks at the outward ap-

pearance, but God looks at the heart.” You know the story. There was a deﬁant giant that was scaring God’s other warriors to death. His name was Goliath. He was taunting and intimidating. His reputation preceded him. The “giant” of fear inside of those warriors was overcoming the ‘giant’ God put inside of those warriors. While the other warriors saw obstacles, David saw the opportunity and seized the opportunity. He had killed a lion and a bear while tending sheep. David knew that smaller victories turn into bigger victories if you don’t get arrogant. When David saw Goliath’s bantering, he wasn’t intimidated at all. “Who is this man that he should taunt the armies of the living God?” He relied on God’s giant inside of him. He grabbed a slingshot and ﬁve stones, and the rest is history. To David, Goliath was so big he couldn’t miss him. Though David’s stature was small, the giant inside of him was bigger and more powerful than the Goliath outside of him. Here’s the takeaway: Have patience with yourself: You are not who and where you once were, and you are not who and where you will be. Your obstacle is not a barrier, it’s a bridge. Remember, the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

The Deer Valley Unified School District boundary changes, which have been in the works for more than six months, may conclude this week. “The (DVUSD) Governing Board meeting to formally consider the school boundary changes is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 14,” said Jim Migliorino, DVUSD’s deputy superintendent of Fiscal and Business Services. “As required by statute, we will post the approved school boundaries on our website based on what is decided (Jan. 14).” Several parents in north Glendale’s Arrowhead Ranch area said they felt ignored. They are concerned their current spots at the cherished Mountain Ridge High School will no longer be guaranteed. Nate Miller sent the following email to the email provided by DVUSD for input, boundaries@dvusd.org: “At the Dec. 10 meeting, (an Arrowhead resident) requested Mr. Migliorino look into a boundary solution that

would enable the Arrowhead area to remain within the Mountain Ridge HS boundary.” Miller said he had not received an answer. Sarah Olney forwarded a copy of a lengthy email she sent Deer Valley

Superintendent Curtis Finch Dec. 12. She raised questions over data at community meetings and noted, “Given how this process has moved forward, it has caused many of us to speculate on what the DVUSD’s real agenda may be when it keeps pushing for a plan that does not appear to achieve its stated objective.” Olney said she did not receive a response. On Jan. 9, she sent another email to Finch (which she forwarded

PUSD elects new governing board president BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Peoria Unified Governing Board held its first organizational meeting of the year on Thursday, Jan. 9. During the meeting the board voted to approve David Sandoval as president and Cory Underhill as clerk of the PUSD Governing Board for 2020. The governing board meets at 6 p.m. the second and fourth Thursday of every month. The meeting schedule, as well as the link to stream the governing board meetings live, and additional information on the governing board is posted on the district’s website at peoriaunified.org.

to the Glendale Star): “Please be advised we do not intend to stop our research and investigation even after the vote adopting the DVUSD’s boundary change. Prior to this, we were sleepily approving all matters DVUSD requested as we were willing to provide you with the benefit of the doubt. “Since this matter has arisen, we have become concerned about the high-handed nature of how DVUSD approaches the community.” Last month, after a heated community meeting at Mountain Ridge (boundary-change meetings were held at several other DVUSD high schools), Migliorino responded to similar concerns by stating the district was open to community input. “I do not think the boundary change is a foregone conclusion; in fact, our Governing Board asked us to develop some options based on the comments made from our Dec. 10 Governing Board meeting,” he said. “Changing school boundaries is not an easy task, and it creates a great deal of emotional reactions. We do put forth a great deal of thought before even considering school boundary changes, and we do respect — and appreciate — that the communities we serve feel very strongly about their school.”

Diamondbacks announce ‘School Challenge’ winners BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation announced last week the 22 winning schools in the “D-backs $100,000 School Challenge,” presented by University of Phoenix. Among the winners: Glendale Landmark Elementary School’s “Serving Our School” nutrition program, Peoria Liberty High School’s “Makerspace Lab” technology program, Litchfield Park Palm Valley Elementary School’s “Movement For All” fitness program and Glendale Sierra Verde STEAM Academy’s “We Have Got Some Great News For You!” technology program. With more than 300 submissions from Arizona schools, the winning grants come from all around the state and will fund projects ranging in need from school improvements to innovative educational programs. Through the School Challenge program, the D-backs provided more than 220 schools with grants for an overall monetary commitment of more than $1 million since the program launched in 2012.

Winning schools will use the grant money to satisfy an array of needs, ranging from a shower facility for homeless students to a student podcast and an agriculture education program to a coding class for elementary school kids. Each winning school will be honored and receive a check on the field at a 2020 D-backs game at Chase Field. The D-backs will donate more than 450 tickets for students, parents, teachers and staff from each school to attend the D-backs’ game in which their school will be honored. All public, private and nonprofit charter schools, grades K-12 were eligible and the winning schools sought to bring in funds to assist in one of four categories: educational programs, innovation and technology, nutrition and fitness and school/campus improvements. The $100,000 School Challenge is part of the organization’s overall charitable efforts and this year the team and its charitable arm, the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, surpassed $65 million in combined donations since their inception in 1998.

OBITUARIES

OBITUARIES Amelia Gastelum Lopez Powers On Saturday, December 28, 2019, Amelia Gastelum Lopez Powers passed away at the age of 95. Amelia was born April 26, 1924 in a small house in Peoria, AZ to immigrant parents from Mexico, Ramon Lopez and Delores Gastelum dé Lopez. She attended Peoria Elementary and Peoria High School. After high school she was very proud to have helped the WWII cause by repairing damaged aircraft wings in Goodyear, AZ. In 1952 she graduated from Good Samaritan Hospital School of Nursing. She worked as a registered nurse her entire career, including 20 years as a school nurse for the Peoria School District. In 1945 she married Claude V. Lopez. They had 6 children, Andrea, Claude, David, Gilbert, Larry, and Lee. She married James G. Powers in 1970 and became stepmother to Bob and Doris. Amelia had a passion for gardening. If you stopped by to say hello, she would be sure to give you a tour of her backyard with all the thriving foliage. Many people would give her the plants they had long since given up on and Amelia would find a way to bring new life back into them. She was a proud Peoria native. She, along with her siblings and her six children, all attended Peoria schools from grades 1 – 12 and all graduated from Peoria High School. She was also honored as a Peoria Pioneer in 2006 and was the Grand Marshall for the parade that year. Her primary reason for accepting her position as school nurse was so she could work and also keep a close eye on her children. During her time as a school nurse, she was very proud to be instrumental in bringing inoculations to the Peoria School District. She had to overcome budget constraints by reaching out to the community and finding volunteers to assist with administering the inoculations. She was interpreter, social worker, counselor, and friend to many children, parents and school staff during her time there. Amelia was most proud of her children. She had an amazing work ethic and emboldened her children to do the same. She made sure they were busy with dance, Boy Scouts, sports, church, and playing a musical instrument. She opened her heart and home and was loved by many. She was a dear, kind soul, she loved everyone around her. You immediately felt loved and accepted by her, and she doted on her grandkids. They loved being around her. Amelia was preceded in death by her father, Ramon, her mother, Delores, her sister Ramona, and brother Rodolfo.

Dennis Eugene Landauer Dennis Eugene Landauer, 71, died Thursday, January 2, 2020, of natural causes at Orchard Pointe assisted living facility in Glendale. He was surrounded by his closest family members at the time of his passing. The eldest son of Francis A. Landauer and Jane F. Landauer, Dennis was born and raised in Schenectady, NY, along with his three sisters: Kathleen (Robert) Single, Susan (Robert) Knight, Joan (Dennis) Olson and two brothers: Gregg (Terri) Landauer and Brian F. Landauer. His lifelong hardworking personality developed in his early adolescence working as a paperboy and golf caddy in his beloved hometown. After the family relocated to Arizona in 1965, Dennis graduated from Washington High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the University of Denver in 1971. He carried an endearing charisma and unique wit throughout his life that touched everyone in his path. Dennis excelled in his more than 35-year career as a CPA, from his early days as a partner with Vogel & Company; and after several merges became RSM. There was never a shortage of clients who turned to him for individualized financial advice and tax guidance, particularly ones in the local entertainment industry. Dennis was an active parishioner at St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Phoenix for much of his adult life. His closeness to the Lord was instilled early on by his parents and their traditional values. Along with his love of Christ, Dennis had a love for sports beyond measure. His favorite teams included the Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Yankees, Denver Broncos and Phoenix Suns. Nothing brought a bigger smile to his face than watching his favorite players in action, such as Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, John Elway, Charles Barkley and Randy Johnson. He also kept a close eye on the Pioneer’s Hockey Team from his Denver alma mater. There was nothing Dennis wouldn’t do to provide a comfortable life for his family and passed along his greatest ideals and ethics to his children. Dennis is survived by his two sons: Chris (Kara) Landauer and Nick (Jerri) Landauer, and his two grandchildren: Lucy Landauer and Lennyx Landauer. A remembrance of life ceremony for Dennis will be held Friday, January 17, 2020 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Christ Church of the Valley (CCV) – Peoria Campus in building 400 (7007 W. Happy Valley Road, Peoria AZ 85383), followed by a brief graveside service at the Phoenix Memorial Park and Mortuary at 11:30am (200 W. Beardsley Road, Phoenix AZ 85027). “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.” John 14:1-3 In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Phoenix Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
