Man arrested in connection with explosions BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

Phoenix police have made a breakthrough in an investigation into several reported “explosions” throughout the North Valley late last year. And according to police, a Glendale man is responsible. Houston Willis, 44, was arrested in connection with the incidents, which occurred between November and January. Numerous calls were made about explosive sounds near Happy Valley Road and 67th Avenue, near Interstate 17. In addition to callers reporting “loud explosions,” they said they observed bright “flashes of light.” In early 2019, authorities received several tips that led to a potential identification of a

suspect. Authorities also said that on January 6, Cactus Park Precinct officers were on patrol in the area of 35th Avenue and Union Hills Drive when they saw a bright flash and heard an explosion. Police found a vehicle matching the suspect’s and conducted a traffic stop. Police identified the driver as Willis, who denied involvement in the incident that day. Police released him but continued to investigate him as a person of interest. Working with local agencies as well as Glendale police, the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, authorities received hundreds of tips from community members, and interviewed several witness and victims.

Mayor Weiers’ address extols city’s virtues Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers covered much ground at his recent State of the City address, which he delivered at the Renaissance Glendale Phoenix Hotel and Spa March 7. Marking the event’s 68th anniversary, he praised the city’s achievements, from securing companies like Ball Corporation and Red Bull, to planned park improvements and the city’s ever-popular sports sector. But Weiers began by thanking the chamber, its board of directors, city council the city manager and his own staff for the hours they dedicate to the city. He also gave a nod to military members SEE ADDRESS PAGE 2

Police eventually developed probable cause to arrest Willis without incident March 4 near Deer Valley Road and 35th Avenue. Willis faces three counts of depositing of explosives and 15 counts of other crimes related to the investigation. “After processing numerous pieces of evidence, hundreds of tips from the community, interviewing witnesses and victims, detectives developed probable cause to arrest the suspect,” Phoenix Police Sgt. Armando Carbajal said at a news conference. “We want to thank everybody who collaborated with the Phoenix Police Department.” Sgt. Crista McCarthy, a bomb squad supervisor in Phoenix, said Willis was found

who were guests of the chamber’s military affairs committee. But once he got down to business, he extolled the virtues of city council, which he credited with the city’s 180-degree financial turnaround over the past five years. Weiers then embarked on a journey

through economic development partnerships that have resulted in more than 1 million square feet of business projects, plus 32 residential projects, with plans for more than 3,300 new homes. He teased the audience with the mention of the T-2 project, which is a partnership between three companies that will broing more than 700,000 square

feet of factory, distribution and office space for fill-in operations in the city. He said the project will add more than 140 new jobs, with more than one third at the high-wage level. With that, he opened a can of Red Bull and said, “This facility will give its employees, customers and Glendale wings. Yes, I am proud to announce Ball Corporation, Rousch and Red Bull are coming to Glendale.” He said with developments like those, Glendale would, among other projects, complete the extension of Ball Park Boulevard to connect Camelback Road to the sports and entertainment district. Moving from that topic to the city’s raised general obligation bond rating – from A plus to AA with a stable outlook – and Fitch Ratings’ reaffirmation of its Triple A bond rating, Weiers expressed confidence the city could now tackle important issues, such as aging facilities and a commitment to repair, treatment or replacement of streets. “Our council is committed to meeting expectations and keeping it on track, so that the 750 miles of our streets receive the proper attention they deserve,” Weiers said. He said the council is working “extremely hard” to ensure the city’s park

March 14, 2019 system would receive the maintenance and attention it needs, with upgraded systems, new equipment and adequate staffing levels. “Make no mistake,” Weiers said. “We are committed to providing excellent recreational and community areas.” Calling Glendale “the sports capital of the world,” Weiers cited the Super Bowls, Final Fours, Fiesta Bowls and other significant sports events that have been played at State Farm Stadium and Gila River Arena, and said the city supports the merger of the two companies – SMG and AEG – that manage the two sports venues. He credited a ride along at Fire Station 154 for an eventual partnership between the Phoenix and Glendale fire departments that has units from both working under the same roof. This saves taxpayer dollars in both cities, Weiers said, while reducing response times and giving better service. Weiers then pointed to the back corner of the ballroom, to a lime green and white van with the “Glendale Works” logo largely printed on the side. The van is used to take homeless individuals to a job site, where they can earn

Candy Sheperd and Tyler Francis have one thing in common: They both love roses. Sheperd and her husband, Bill, are rosarians who belong to the Glendale Rose Society. They and members of their club have been caring for the rose garden at Sahuaro Ranch for several years. As for Francis, he owns a 300-acre parcel of land west of Luke Air Force Base where he grows roses for sale to commercial landscapers and retailers. But now, Sheperd and Francis have two things common. They are each citizens of the year, according to Mayor Jerry Weiers. Weiers honored the pair by naming them co-Citizens of the Year during his State of the City address March 7. He praised Sheperd as a testament to “the spirit of collaboration and community support and literally an example of ‘Everything’s Coming up Roses,’” the theme of this year’s address and a

song from the 1959 musical “Gypsy.” Weiers told guests of Sheperd’s leadership in the yearly food drive campaign, which he called a “huge” part of the Hometown Christmas Parade. She also holds public classes, oversees the annual pruning and ensures the rose garden flourishes every year. Sheperd also suggested to the Glendale Chamber of Commerce Military and Veterans Committee that the rose garden could act as a veteran healing garden, allowing them to learn a new skill while providing a therapeutic outlet for those with PTSD. Last year, Weiers said, Sheperd approached him about the possibility of a collaborative project to give the rose garden a facelift. She arranged for the mayor to meet Francis. During that meeting, Weiers said Francis told him he would like to help reinvigorate the Sahuaro Ranch Historical Rose Garden, his vision making Glendale a “destination for visitors to come and see the rose garden in its glory.”

Packages from Home trying to overcome theft of vehicle BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

Packages from Home has been helping give soldiers around the world a little love by sending care packages around the world for nearly 15 years, but the nonprofit recently had a setback. “We were at an event serving both deployed troops and veterans in San Diego, and when we returned home our truck had been stolen,” said Sarah Morrison, Packages from Home’s director of fundraising and communications. “It wasn’t in the best condition, a 2005 Chevy truck, but it was ours and we depended on that vehicle for pickups and deliveries of packages to the post office.” Packages from Home started in Glendale when Kathleen Lewis’ son, Christian, signed up for service after September 11, 2001. Lewis is Morrison’s aunt. “They were watching September 11 when the world changed and Christian decided that day to enlist in the Army,” Morrison said. “He was first deployed to Iraq in 2004 and that was when Kathleen started sending packages from her garage.” When Lewis was in Iraq, he realized he was missing basic items that he took for granted. He asked Lewis to send some. “He quickly noticed he was going through the items quickly because he was sharing things with his fellow soldiers and he asked his mom is she could send them some items,” Morrison said. “The first requests were silly like Pop Tarts and snacks to hygiene products.” Lewis was the only soldier receiving such care packages. Morrison said it wasn’t because the soldiers didn’t have loved ones. It is costly to mail items internationally. “Costs for that have increased 204 percent since we started this in 2004, and it is tough to sustain this type of mission,” she said. “Unfortunately, I think that is why care packages groups do not exist anymore.” Lewis put care packages together in her garage with approximately eight neighbors for Lewis’ platoon. Word spread and Packages from Home was born.

Volunteering to help

Packages from Home has only five employees and Morrison said the group depends on 90 percent volunteers and donations to succeed. “We sent over 8,600 care packages

last year, which is a record number for us,” Morrison said. “We are so grateful for all the volunteers and donations, but we feel we are not doing enough.” Morrison said there are 230,000 serSEE PACKAGES PAGE 6

Blood donors needed due to cancelations BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Arizona’s winter storms recently forced the cancelation of numerous blood drives in Flagstaff, Prescott and the White Mountains. Adverse weather conditions, along with the cold and flu season, have severely impacted the ability of many donors to give blood, further reducing blood supplies. So, Vitalant is organizing new ways for individuals to give blood. While donors of all blood types are needed to rebuild supplies, Type-O is always in greatest demand. In emergency situations, when a patient’s blood type isn’t known, doctors reach for Type-O blood until the patient can be stabilized. Glendale blood donor opportunities are as follows: Donor centers 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 18583 N. 59th Avenue

in possession of several items linking him to the crime, including the suspect’s vehicle. Authorities also found a number of firearms, drugs and a crossbow, as well as an improvised explosive device. While there were no reported injuries during the incidents, police said the explosive devices were pyrotechnic in nature and had the capacity to cause major injuries if anyone had come in contact with them. McCarthy added that the Phoenix Police Department had received more than 200 calls for such incidents in the area, while not all calls are expected to be part of this incident. “The defendant was believed to be throwing or placing items containing explosive material which would shortly thereafter detonate,” police said. “These detonations were in residential neighborhoods causing fear and concern among the nearby residents and citizenry that resulted in numerous phone calls to the Phoenix PD 911 line.” Officers said the incidents for which Willis is charged occurred between November 18 and December 21, as well as January 6. In a November incident, Willis’ vehicle is seen on surveillance video at Sun-

Video footage shows an explosion in the playground area, after which witnesses provided police with a license plate that matched the suspect’s vehicle. The school was not occupied at the time. Despite the numerous reports of explosions, no one has been injured. The investigation is ongoing, and McCarthy would not say whether other persons of interest are tied to the explosions. No motive has been determined, and Willis refused to speak without an attorney. He was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail in lieu of a $100,000 cash-only bond.

vice members overseas and that, while she is proud of the 8,600 care packages, she wants to do more. “Our goal this year is 10,000 packages sent to service members worldwide and we need the public’s help to reach that goal,” Morrison said. While the care packages are the main goal of the organization, they volunteer at city, state and national events to aid soldiers and veterans. Since 2001, the Maricopa County StandDown event, coordinated by the Arizona Housing Coalition’s Veterans StandDown Alliance, has served military veterans and their families experiencing or at risk of homelessness in Arizona. It is one of the largest events of its kind in the country. More than 2,100 veterans were served at the 2017 event, connecting them to critical supportive services to help them gain and maintain housing stability. Packages from Home participated in January at the event, handing out hygiene kits and T-shirts. “We partner with a group called Military Muscle in Avondale that is military run, and for every T-shirt they sell, they donate one to us for our care

packages and these events,” Morrison said. “We had hundreds to hand out, and the veterans that took one, their faces would light up over a T-shirt and it blew my mind the reaction to something so simple.”

Truck stolen

After traveling to San Diego to assist service members and veterans, they returned to Glendale where they found their only truck had been stolen.

“We depended on that truck for picking up donations and taking packages to the post office,” Morrison said. “Now, our volunteers and employees have been using their own vehicles to do those jobs.” The problem extends beyond deliveries. They used it to take supplies to businesses to pack and mail. “Every time we do that, we have to rent a U-Haul, and that cuts into our postage money, which we hate doing,” Morrison said. “The value of the truck is minimal in terms; it is really what it represented for us, and it helped us do our work more efficiently. Every time now, we have to rent a U-Haul.” She added because they are a nonprofit, any funds they have to use to rent vehicles cuts into funds used to support service members. “Being a nonprofit, people who are writing us $20 checks and probably

can’t afford that, we are doing a disservice to them,” Morrison said. Desert Financial Credit Union, whose employees pack twice a month, surprised them recently with a donation after hearing of the stolen vehicle. “We were shocked that someone would take something from a nonprofit, and even more shocked when we realized insurance wouldn’t cover the amount needed to replace it,” said Aaron Morrison, Packages from Home’s operations manager. “Without a truck, we aren’t able to pick up large donations from the community or bring supplies to events. These are critical activities to our mission of getting packages to our military overseas.” Upon learning the organization would struggle to continue with its mission without a truck, Desert Financial Credit Union decided to step in, using its ‘Random Act of Kindness’ donation of $5,000 toward the purchase of a new vehicle. “We were very happy, very relieved, and very humbled to receive this donation,” Morrison said. “This is something for which we are eternally grateful. When we purchase our new Packages from Home vehicle, we hope to decorate it with a Desert Financial logo for everyone to see.” Morrison said they received insurance money, but it was not nearly enough to replace the vehicle. “At Desert Financial, we believe that Random Acts of Kindness go a long way toward helping improve our wider community,” said Cathy Graham, senior vice president, chief marketing and strategy officer. “It was an honor for us to be able to support this incredible organization with funds to help purchase a new truck and continue their vital work.” When asked what she would say to the thief, Sarah Morrison said: “It is less about what it means to the organization but what it means to the troops,” she said. “The person who stole the vehicle, you have hurt hundreds of thousands of service members. “When you steal from a nonprofit, especially one that serves the troops, you can call me names all day and it doesn’t affect me. But the work we do is to give support to service members. They have nothing and are risking their lives for our freedom and our country. So, for me, that is the most low down, dirty person I can think of.” For information to volunteer or donate, go to packagesfromhome.org.

Longtime Glendale educator Jim Kieffer dies BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF James “Jim” Lorenzo Kieffer Jr. died peacefully at the age of 70 on February 26. He was at home, surrounded by family. A native Arizonan, Kieffer was born November 15, 1948, in Phoenix to Jeannette and Jim Kieffer Sr. He lived a life of service to others as an educator and humanitarian. He made the decision to become a teacher while serving in the Navy during the Vietnam War. Standing on the deck of the Oriskany aircraft carrier, he decided that preparing students to be informed citizens could be a way to avoid unnecessary wars. He began by teaching U.S. government, economics and history at Sunnyslope High School, where he spent nine years. Known for being innovative in the classroom, Kieffer created simulations where students would take on the roles of legislators. Called to higher leadership, he served as dean of students at Sunnyslope and assistant principal at Cortez High School. He went on to be principal at Glendale High School, a job that he called the most

Even as an administrator, he continued classroom teaching at least once a day, to stay connected to students and to understand teachers’ daily challenges. His influence grew wider when he became associate superintendent of curriculum and instruction at the Glendale Union High School District (GUHSD) office, driving the mission that all students can learn. He became superintendent of GUHSD in 1995 and served for seven years. He led the district while it was recognized as one of the most innovative in the nation, and served as a model across the country. He was Arizona Superintendent of the Year in 1999 and the Matt O. Hanhila Inspirational Educator of the Year in 2002. James L. Kieffer died February 26 at his home in Glendale. The longtime educator from the Glendale Union He retired that same year, havHigh School District is remembered for his innovative ing served nearly 30 years at instruction in the classroom, and as superintendent of GUHSD, in roles from student the district.

He is widely remembered by colleagues and students, many of whom credit him as a mentor and role model. In retirement, Kieffer’s devotion to service only increased and diversified. He served as interim superintendent in rural school districts from Tuba City to Tonopah, and continued teaching Arizona and U.S. government at Glendale Community College and elsewhere for more than 20 years. A true Arizonan at heart, he always reminded folks that February 14 was Arizona Statehood Day, adding how lovely it was that people gave each other flowers to celebrate. Kieffer’s service to the local community expanded far beyond the school grounds. Through his 32 years in Glendale Rotary Club, he led a variety of charitable efforts. After building homes for the poor in Mobile, Alaska; Los Angeles, California; and Surprise, he established a twice-yearly tradition of building homes in Rocky Point, Mexico, that has so far provided 14 families a roof over their heads.

to which he added his sons juggling and wearing costumes to entertain the donors. Salvation Army awarded him the Others award this year to commemorate his years of service. His legacy of giving is continuing to this day at the Jim Kieffer Community Cook-off at Gila River Arena, a charity event he originated in 2017 that has since been named in his honor. Kieffer accompanied 13 medical missions to remote locations in Guatemala, India, Uganda, Peru, Ukraine, Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippine Islands, where he helped distribute eyeglasses to those without access to basic services. He loved to tell the story of a boy who could finally join his friends on the soccer field now that he could see the ball, only to break his new glasses and have to shyly ask for another pair, or of the faithful grandmother who could once again read her prayer book. Well known for his love of boats, Kieffer was “Capt. Jim” to many in his life. Some of his sons’ favorite memories are of family boat trips, from their deep-v motor boat, with lawn-chair seating and no guarantee of starting, to their 16-foot catamaran, which always seemed to be capsizing. His family’s annual New Year ’s Day football game (aka Kieffer Bowl) started in 1972 and has been played with whimsy and camaraderie ever since. In his final month, friends and family joined Capt.

Those who loved him will be comforted to know that Kieffer’s sense of humor was strong until the end and will be forever missed and remembered.

Kieffer wanted to say, “In lieu of flowers, please identify five friends outside your immediate family, hug them and tell them that you love them. After seven days, if you fail to do so, you will have broken the chain (and you’ll have to reach out to 10).” A private service is being held in April.

Two men were killed after their vehicle crashed into a pole in Glendale March 12. Glendale officers responded to the collision near Orangewood and Grand avenues. The driver, Cesar Cervantes, 31, and the passenger, Jacob Gonzales, 33, were taken to a hospital for life-threatening injuries, to which they eventually succumbed.

“While at the hospital, the severity of both occupant’s injuries were too great and neither survived,” Police spokesman Brandon Sheffert said in an email. Police learned a silver Dodge Durango was southeast bound on Grand approaching Orangewood when, for unknown reasons, the vehicle swerved off the roadway to the right and struck a metal power pole. Impairment does not appear to be involved; however, vehicle speed is being investigated as a possible factor. If anyone has information regarding the events leading up to the accident, contact the Glendale Police Department at 623930-3000.

Auditor general releases school spending report BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

With new money coming into the system, classroom spending in Arizona has increased for the second year in a row. New figures from Auditor General Lindsey Perry’s office have 54 cents of every education dollar spent statewide this past school year on instruction. That largely includes salaries and benefits for teachers and aides as well as instructional supplies like pencils and paper, instructional software, athletics, band and choir. That compares with 53.8 cents for the prior year and 53.5 cents the year before that. Honing in on Glendale and Peoria school districts reveals local findings. Deer Valley Unified School District spent the most among Glendale and Peoria school districts, clocking in at 59.8 cents last year, up from 56.5 cents the previous year. Glendale Union High School District (GUHSD) had the largest increase, however, spiking from 53.4 to 57.8 cents, a 4.4-percent in-

while Alhambra decreased $377, to $9,031; Deer Valley decreased $123, to $864; and Dysart only saved $60 over the previous year, having spent $8,173 in 2018. Pendergast had the highest increase in total per-pupil spending, up $929 to $9,117 in 2018. Perry said additional dollars did boost the average teacher pay in Arizona from $48,372 to $48,951. And she said that, overall, school districts employed 101 additional teachers, which resulted in a slight reduction in the state’s students-per-teacher ratio. Still, she said, a gap remains between Arizona and the rest of the country. Even with the boost in teacher pay, salaries here remain close to $11,300 below the national average. GUHSD has the largest average teacher pay, at $62,839, nearly $14,000 above the state average. Alhambra ($59,625), Pendergast ($52,077), Dysart ($51,309) and PUSD ($50,198) were the only other districts that ranked above the state average. SEE REPORT PAGE 13

GESD has the lowest average teacher pay, winding up $8,902 below the state average, at $40,049. Washington ($43,938) and Deer Valley ($45,552) were also below the state average in teacher pay. “Part of the reason for Arizona’s lower average teacher salary may be to due Arizona’s teachers having fewer years of experience, on average, when compared to the national average,” Perry reported. She said Arizona teachers average 11 years of experience compared with the national figure of 13.7 years. And there’s something else. In the most recent year, Arizona’s average class size was 18.5 students per teacher compared to the national average of 16. Locally, GUHSD (21.6), Pendergast (21.2), Alhambra (20.7), Dysart (20.2) and PUSD (19.1) were above the state’s average class size, while GESD (17.6), Deer Valley (17.2) and Washington (16.7) landed below that number. The bottom line, Perry said, is Arizona spends less than $8,300 per student in operating costs compared with the national average of more than $11,800, with 54 percent of those Arizona dollars winding up in the classroom in

The Glendale Star Arizona compared with 60.9 percent of the higher national education spending figure. But Perry said this isn’t due to high administration costs, pointing out that these costs in the average Arizona district eat up 10.4 percent of dollars, versus 11.2 percent nationally. (Of local districts, Perry did flag one as having high administration costs, however. GESD spent 12.2 percent of dollars on administration, its per-pupil cost coming in at $912. In contrast, the state spent $860.) What is making a difference, Perry said, are other costs. One of those falls in the category of “plant operations,” primarily what districts spend on energy. She said some districts have worked to identify the potential for improved efficiency and cost savings. But, overall, Arizona schools spend 11.9 percent of their budgets on plant operations, versus 9.2 percent for the rest of the country. GUHSD was the only district that was above the state average, with 12.0 percent for plant operations. The other seven districts placed below. Arizona, on average, also spends SEE REPORT PAGE 15

Northwest Valley Connect in need of volunteers BY TRUDY WARE

Northwest Valley Connect Volunteer Engagement Manager

Northwest Valley Connect is a nonprofit transportation organization that provides referrals or free ride service to West Valley residents who are 65 years and older, those with disabilities, and veterans. Since its inception in 2014, when NVC Mobility service responded to 288 ride requests, the growth has been phenomenal. It received 12,000 ride requests in 2018, with 11,000 rides having been provided by the Mobility Volunteer Driver Program. NVC is looking as far out as September and October for renovation plans, with plans to improve its focus as a volunteer transportation business and how it provides services. NVC now serves 10 West Valley communities where transportation services are lacking or disrupted and the aging population, particularly seniors, is growing. Compared to the year 2000, by 2050 the number of people age 65 and older is projected to more than double, while the number of people age 75 and over is projected to triple and the number of people age 85 and over is projected to quintuple. More of the aging population will be seniors. Attention is drawn to senior mobility and independence, which are contributing factors to the rise in public awareness regarding accessibility and characteristics of transportation services. NVC Mobility Center provides four major services, which are handled by Mobility Center volunteer representatives who transition callers to a RideConnect service, either as a referral or

NVC volunteer free ride. Mobility Center Driver Service is provided freely by volunteers to individuals who otherwise would not have transport to health services, shopping or social events. Volunteers use personal vehicles or NVC-accessible vans for picking up individuals at their homes while offering a door-through-door service and transport to a destination. Many seniors appreciate the once-aweek scheduled group trips to malls, social activities and events. For some locals Lyft is available, and NVC Mobility Center representatives provide ride referrals for senior callers. Higher volume rider demands require more volunteers to ensure an aging population can access transportation services that accommodate their mobility in and around the West Valley area. In preparation for the higher demands, Northwest Valley Connect is reaching out to engage volunteers who have a desire to continue building an organization that serves and addresses their community needs for an aging population. NVC is gearing up for tomorrow’s transportation demands and asking all who can to participate. Take your skills to NVC. Positions are open for Mobility Center representatives, the Mobility Center Driver Program, project supervision, service trainers, data entry and administrative assistants. NVC can help transfer capabilities to opportunities that abundantly benefit others and are a reward to those who volunteer. Visit the NVC website at northwestvalleyconnect.org, call volunteer engagement manager Trudy Ware at 623-282-9304 or email tware@ northwestvalleyconnect.org.

A skilled workforce is important to Glendale’s future, Weiers said, adding the city has “long supported” Midwestern University, Arizona State University’s West campus and Glendale Community College, as well as the addition of Arizona Christian University. He said through those institutions, as well as the West-MEC campus near the city’s airport, “Glendale is absolutely ensuring the workforce of tomorrow is skilled, knowledgeable and ready to take their place.” Providing protection for students in lower-grade educational institutions is also in the city’s best interest, Weiers said. He praised city council for finding

funding within the city budget to staff school resource officers at every public high school campus in Glendale. Weiers next gave accolades for the co-Citizens of the Year, Candy Sheperd and Tyler Francis. Sheperd spearheaded the project to invigorate the rose garden at Sahuaro Ranch Park, while Francis donated 1,584 new bare-root roses to get the job done. Finally, Weiers told the audience to keep an eye out this summer for a new city website, which will include an interactive mobile app. He said it would be easy to pay bills, get answers to commonly asked questions and submit service requests, “while allowing staff the ability to quickly respond and precisely track it all.”

MAG launches survey to plan region’s transportation future

REPORT FROM PAGE 13

more on food service, transportation and instructional support, that last category for things like salaries for curriculum directors, Perry noted. Food service costs were high in the cases of GESD (9.4 percent of budget), Alhambra (8.6) and Washington (8.4). Alhambra spent, on average, $3.43 on each meal, while GESD spent $3.18 per meal and GUHSD spent $3.11 per meal. The state average for food service costs, for comparison, was $3.02. Despite consuming budgets to varying degrees, high transportation costs were observed at several districts when analyzing two sub-categories: cost per mile and cost per rider. Dysart spent 4.7 percent of its budget on transportation; while Deer Valley ranked second, with 4.3 percent; and Washington ranked third, with 4.2 percent. Alhambra and GUHSD also had high transportation costs, dedicating 3.6 percent and 3.4 percent of their budgets, respectively. When it comes to cost per mile, however, Alhambra was at the top, spending, on average, $8.20, while Deer Valley spent the least of those five, with $5.10 per mile. The real gap with the state, however, is in the category of student support, everything from attendance clerks and social workers to counselors, nurses, audiologists and speech pathologists. Perry said some of that could be due to the number of school districts serving a large percentage of students living in poverty or those with special needs, all of whom need additional services. Alhambra increased spending on student support by $68 per pupil, to $785, while Washington increased its spending by $19 per pupil, bringing its total to $838. Dysart was next, with an increase of $17 to $687. GESD and GUHSD were the only other districts to increase spending. GESD increased student support spending per pupil by $12, coming in at $608 in 2018, while GUHSD increased spending by $3, hitting $606 in 2018. PUSD ($753) decreased student sup-

port spending by $20 between 2017 and 2018, with Deer Valley also decreasing spending by $3, bringing it to $559. Pendergast remained the same, at $608. Perry said, though, there are things districts can do to cut down on non-classroom expenses. One thing Perry said her auditors identified are districts that build new schools when they already had low-capacity usage rates at existing facilities. There also were districts that had built new schools or added on to existing ones in anticipation of enrollment growth that did not materialize. “Although decisions to close schools can be difficult and painful, these decisions are important because school district funding is based primarily on the number of students enrolled, and not at all on the amount of square footage maintained,” she said. And Perry said the record shows that there are things that can be done to cut fixed costs. For example, she said, the districts her auditors found as being more efficient do things like monitor food prices and maximize the use of commodities provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. She also said they limit overtime and unproductive time by having employees perform other duties. And Perry said the most efficient districts plan bus routes to ensure, where possible, the buses are filled to at least 75 percent of capacity. At the other end of the spectrum, she said, the less-efficient districts have costly benefit packages and higher noninstructional staffing levels, spend more on meals and conference travel for employees and governing board members, and lack preventative maintenance plans to maintain buildings and buses.

– Glendale Star Staff Writer Darrell Jackson contributed to this report.

The Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) is asking individuals who live or work in the Maricopa County region to complete a survey about what they value about the regional transportation system. Their opinions play a key role in creating the next long-range transportation plan, Imagine. “This survey asks people what they value most, and allows them to tell us their transportation priorities,” said MAG Chair Gail Barney, who is also the mayor of Queen Creek. “We want them to imagine how they want to get around in the future.” MAG will use the survey results to help develop plans for future roads, public transit, bikeways and pedestrian improvements. A primary focus of MAG is the de-

velopment of the next Regional Transportation Plan and the associated planning for the extension of the half-cent sales tax to expand, improve and enhance our region’s transportation infrastructure. A regional transportation plan is a long-term blueprint of a region’s transportation system. “This system isn’t only for us, it also is for our kids and grandkids, the future generations who will be using this system and calling this place home. It is our responsibility to be forward thinking,” Barney said. The online survey takes approximately 10 minutes. Participants who complete the survey are eligible to win raffle prizes ranging from $100 gift cards to personal electronics and a $1,000 grand prize. To take the survey, go to azmag.gov/ values.

Clem and Evangeline Leslie: a lifetime of service BY QUENTIN TOLBY Glendale Star Contributing Writer

I drove to the Salvation Army Corps on Northern Avenue to meet with Maj. Clement and Evangeline Leslie, but I had a little problem finding them, as the old building was being remodeled. Two years ago, when Clem and Evangeline arrived in Glendale, the building remodeling project was at a standstill. They rolled up their sleeves and raised $500,000, and in August the citizens of Glendale will have a very nice newly remodeled home for the Army. I asked them, “Where were you born?” They both said, “Trinidad.” I said, “You knew each other as children?” Clem said, “No, we did not grow up together. Both our parents were officers in the Salvation Army and went their separate ways, and we did not meet until she was 18. She and her three sisters and one brother came to the Salvation Army church my dad was in charge of. “We both sat in the Army band. Her parents liked me, but not for her. I tried to date her and she did not want anything to do with me. She went to college in Kentucky and I went to college in Washington, D.C.” Clem said, “You know, it is a long way from Washington, D.C., to Ken-

tucky; 27 hours on a bus. Riding a bus in the south in 1970 could be a problem, but the lord had his hand on me.” They were married in 1977. In 1978, they both attended the Salvation Army training school for officers and were ordained as ministers. Except for only twice, they have moved to a new location every two years; 14 locations in 28 years of service. I asked, “Is it a blessing or a curse to move every two years?” Clem said, “Neither. If you are sure of your calling, you just accept that you’re going to move every two years. It was probably a little harder for the children.” They first met in Trinidad in the church band, and music has always been a big part of their lives. Evangeline is an accomplished pianist and Clem has a great voice. I said, “Most people on the west side really do not look at the Salvation Army as a church. They know and respect it for the good work they do in taking care of people in need.” Clem went on to explain how most

every post is different; in some places, they are only a church. “In Tucson, our mission was the homeless,” he said. “For 20 years, the Salvation Army has tried to build a homeless shelter.” The Army told Clem, “See what you can do.” With God’s help, they raised $7.5 million and built a 35,000-square-foot homeless shelter. In Glendale, the mission is taking care of the working poor. I said, “Clem, I heard you have a law degree.” He said, “True; on my own, I put myself through law school. I am licensed to practice law in Arizona.”

I said, “You could have made a lot more money as a lawyer.” He said, “I thought about that, but the Lord’s work was more important.” He said Evangeline just got her master’s degree. I said, “After 28 years with the Army and you are still going to school? That is amazing.” Clem explained, “We are both retiring very shortly, but Evangeline will stay on one more year, something they call ‘post-retirement service.’ But I will be around to help her.” Clem is not ready to stop helping people. He started telling me about a dream he has in turning some empty space into a law clinic and offering free legal services to people on the west side. The Leslies’ goal is that Christ be glorified in everything they do and the message of God’s love be introduced to those with whom they come in contact. Lesson: We all should dedicate ourselves to others, service above self. Do you know someone on the northwest side who puts service to mankind above themselves, who has given so much to others, someone who has gone the extra mile to help others?

Community cook-off takes flight with chili and wings BY CAROLYN DRYER Glendale Star Editor

Glendale Rotary’s third annual Jim Kieffer Community Cook-off took flight March 10, with wings added to the mix. Teams could cook chili, wings or both in a cook-off that paid tribute to the man who started the event: Jim Kieffer. The longtime Rotarian died last month after a battle with cancer. Kieffer’s partner, Cristi Davis, and his son, Matt, attended the cook-off and helped with any chore that came their way. Davis served as a judge for the chili competition and Matt helped tally the People’s Choice votes. Proceeds from ticket and raffle sales went to Soldier’s Best Friend, an organization that adopts rescue animals and pairs them with veterans who either have physical injuries or are veterans suffering from PTSD. The band All Axcess provided live entertainment throughout the event, and Arizona Cardinals mascot Big Red along with cheerleaders stopped to speak with cooks and fans. The People’s Choice first-place award went to the Apollo High School culinary arts students. Second place went to Knights of Columbus, while Fine Ash Cigars picked up third place.

Judges gave Hawthorne’s Mad Science Chili the first-place award (the team also won first place last year); Apollo culinary arts students second; and Hickman’s Family Farms third.

The event took place in front of Gila River Arena, which provided security, set up, and clean-up afterward.

Auction pushes collector’s aviation memorabilia BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF He grew up poor, never knowing his father, but his childhood stamp collection gave him some joy during troubled times. Little did the late Capt. William B. White know he would spend a lifetime collecting antique and vintage items, so many he would have to store what couldn’t fit in his two-story home in several storage units.

Capt. William B. White collected thousands of original publicity photographs of fashion models and beauty pageant contests.

Over the years, the former commercial airline pilot from Prescott Valley amassed thousands of rare collectibles, including an impressive collection of aviation memorabilia, ranging from aviation yearbooks to flight attendant uniforms; a rare collection of toy trucks, including Smith-Miller, American Toy Co., Tonka, Keystone and Wyandotte; a large collection of antique stock and bond certificates; and thousands of original publicity photographs of fashion models and beauty pageant

contestants, along with corresponding news releases relating to the product or event. He also collected press photos from World Wars I and II. Now, White’s collections will be auctioned at EJ’s Auction & Appraisal in Glendale over several weeks during EJ’s weekly Saturday auctions, and a special Aviation Memorabilia Auction set for Saturday, April 6. “What struck us most about Capt. White’s collection was how diverse it was,” said Erik Hoyer, owner of EJ’s Auction & Appraisal. “He also was meticulous in how he organized his collections. For example, he put binders together of the beauty pageant contestants and fashion model publicity shots. There must be nearly 100 of these binders, each with 50 or more photographs.” Capt. White built his life around his long career in aviation. He served nine years in the U.S. Air Force as a fighter pilot, which brought him to Luke Air Force Base. He was employed as a commercial airline pilot and he retired as a captain after 26 years of service. He was furloughed once in his career, so he took a job driving a dump truck for a landscaping company. He also drove a cattle truck. “He loved driving trucks. That was his passion,” said his widow, Barbara White, adding that he preferred driving to flying. “In his spare time, he would collect toy trucks as a hobby.” EJ’s has started auctioning some collectibles, but there are many more, including toy trucks in boxes that have never been opened. Hoyer said EJ’s will post updates with each weekly auction. “We’ve already uncovered aviation

yearbooks, and several original flight attendant uniforms from Hughes Air West that we’ll auction on April 6,” he said. EJ’s Auction & Appraisal is located at 5880 W. Bell Road, on the northeast corner of 59th Avenue and Bell Road.

The auction house opens for a free preview from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Doors open at 9 a.m. Saturday, with the auctions starting at 10 a.m. in three rings. Online bidding is also available. For details, visit ejsauction.com or call 623-878-2003.

Two Top 10 lists you need to know about A married couple was vacationing in Yosemite Park in the United States. The wife expressed her concern about camping because of bears and said she would feel more comfortable in a motel. The husband said he would like to camp outside in the woods. To calm her concerns, he suggested they talk to the park ranger to see what the likelihood of a bear encounter would be. “Well, we haven’t seen any grizzlies in this area so far this year – or black bears, for that matter,” the ranger said. The wife shrieked, “There are two types of bears out here? How can you tell the difference? Which one is more dangerous?” The ranger replied, “Well, that is easy. If a bear chases you up a tree and it comes up after you, it’s a black bear. If it shakes the tree until you fall out, it’s a grizzly.”

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Contributing Writer

The motel room was quite nice that night. I agree with the wife. Enough said. In this case, common sense won out and they may have avoided a difficult situation. But sometimes difficult situations are hard to avoid. In that case, may I suggest what I call the Top 10 Things to Do and Not to Do in a Difficult Situation. In other words, if a bear is shaking the tree of your life, these might just help you get a better perspective and make better decisions.

Here are the Top 10 Things Not to Do: 10. Let fear and unbelief embrace you, causing you to magnify the problem. So far, you’ve survived 100 percent of your worst days. 9. Lose hope. Sometimes when you’re in a dark place and you think you’re buried, you’ve been planted. 8. Get into self-pity and blame shifting. 7. Isolate or insulate yourself. 6. Get stuck in an emotional tar baby. 5. Self-talk yourself into losing and giving up. Be careful how you are talking to yourself, because you’re listening. 4. Lose the big picture and fail to see things from God’s perspective.

3. Forget God’s promises or His word in the Bible. 2. Forget who you are and whose you are. 1. Force God to accept your solution as final. Here are the Top 10 Things to Do: 10. Magnify the Lord and look up. 9. Get God’s perspective from the Bible in order to become proactive. 8. Get a team or group of friends around you to support you. 7. Get spiritual backbone – winners are ex-losers who just got mad. 6. Get some hope and faith from the Bible. 5. Remember God’s promises and God’s grace. Grace recognizes consequences but refuses abandonment. 4. Tap into God’s resources through the power of the Holy Spirit. 3. Choose to be teachable, not offended. Wisdom teeth are what you get when you bite off more than you can chew. 2. Don’t let the sound of your own wheels (emotions) drive you crazy. It’s not the load that breaks you down. It’s the way you’re carrying it. 1. Look down on the situation from an up position. David didn’t defeat Goliath because of the way he fought; he defeated his giant by the way he thought. I hope this helps you today. As Elvis Presley once said, “When things go wrong, don’t go with them.” Besides that, you don’t want to go running around with a bear behind. I hope you caught the previous sentence. It could make your whole day.

Cool Nites softball tournament highlights teams BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

Apollo head softball coach Susan Prado-Ortiz has been coaching the Hawks softball team for nearly 15 years. Over that time she has helped turn the annual Cool Nites softball tournament into one of the most respected ones in Arizona. Started 23 years ago, Cool Nites has grown into a three-day tournament that attracts competitors from around the country. “We have heard nothing but great things about this tournament, and decided to take a chance and come to Arizona to play,” Gallup (New Mexico) softball coach Rayfert Spencer said. “I mean, with the weather that is here, the competition and everything, it really was a no-brainier. We got some great experience and the girls have just had

coaches and families,” Prado-Ortiz said. “The reaction to the tourney has been awesome every year.” Prado said the love of the kids she teaches as well as the coaches and the entire Cool Nites tournament help create a close connection between them. “My girls become productive, self-supporting, self-sufficient, selfmade women, and that’s what my goal is for my players,” Prado said. “Sports gives them a sense of discipline and teamwork and comradery, and it helps them go through the ups and downs of life.” Prado believes it’s critical to keep in mind how important sports are, as well as how important it is to grow up strong. “There’s life beyond the sport, and we (as coaches) want you to be producSEE SOFTBALL PAGE 25

Mountain Ridge lacrosse opens home season with victory BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

Two years removed from a state championship, Mountain Ridge lacrosse is rebuilding after it missed the playoffs last year. Head coach Derek Bahler has his team focused on a return to winning. “Our goal coming into this season is getting back to the playoffs after just missing last season,” Bahler said. “We have a great group of kids that are working hard, and if they keep working, they will get there.” After splitting their first two games of the season on the road, Mountain Ridge’s Mountain Lions opened their home schedule by battling back for a 12-10 victory over Phoenix Arcadia’s Titans March 6 at Cactus High School. “Big, big win for these guys,” Bahler said. “The way they kept fighting after falling behind early, this was fun to watch.” The game against Arcadia opened with the two teams working the ball around and getting a feel for the matchup. Mountain Ridge gained the first opportunity to score only two minutes into the game, when Brady Wijbrandts stole the ball, raced up the middle and fired a shot that was stopped by Arcadia goalkeeper Jarrett Van Arsdall. Less than a minute later the Mountain Lions scored, when Kyle Schreyer took a pass in front from Kaleb West and fired it into the back of the net. “We got on the board first by attacking the net and moving the ball around early,” Bahler said. “Then we made some mistakes and had too many turnovers.” Leading 4-2 after the first quarter, Arcadia opened the second quarter with two goals in the first minute and extended its lead to 7-3 before a time out was called by Bahler. “I told them we needed to stop turning the ball over and pass the ball around,” Bahler said. “They knew what they were doing wrong and they made the adjustments. I didn’t have to tell them anything really.” The Mountain Lions’ Kaleb West broke through with eight minutes left in the second period when he took a pass from Seth Read along the side of the net and slipped it past Van Arsdall. Less than a minute later, West struck again, when he took a pass from Wijbrandts and backhanded a shot into the net. After Arcadia extended its lead to 8-5, the Mountain Lions’ Jaden Aberra,

Wijbrandts, Read and West scored to give their team the lead, with 1:57 left in the first. Arcadia’s Tucker Loftin tied that game at nine at halftime. “We had too many turnovers and we just couldn’t win a face-off in the first half,” Bahler said. “We just discussed making the changes and the boys doing what they know in the second half.” That they did, as the Mountain Lions’ defense came out strong in the second. They held the Titans to one second half goal by Kieran Carr in the first five minutes, before Mountain Ridge goalkeeper Caleb West took over. Mountain Ridge goalkeeper Cole Houser stopped Arcadia’s 13 shots in the final 19 minutes of the game as Mountain Ridge’s defense shut down Arcadia’s offense by pressuring them and keeping them from attacking the net. “(Houser) is playing strong right now and has been working hard, and he is leading this team and was very vocal and got everyone psyched up before this game,” Bahler said. “He is always a big, big personality and I believe he can be the best goalie in the state.” Mountain Ridge broke through in the fourth quarter when Wijbrandts picked up a loose ball and raced down the middle of the field, bouncing a shot past Van Arsdall for what proved to be the game winner. Arcadia’s Loftin led all scores with six, while Mountain Ridge was led by West’s five and Wijbrandts’ three. Bahler knows his team is going to need

Kellis prepares for section play with win against Independence BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

After starting the season with losses in two of his team’s first three games, new Cougars head coach Todd Pyne was looking for improvement from the young squad when heading into the Lady Rider Southwest Classic tournament. Pyne witnessed that and more when Kellis (4-3) defeated Glendale Independence 14-0. During a three-game winning streak, Kellis outscored its opponents 50-2. “We have really started communicating well and hitting the ball well,” Pyne said after the victory over Independence. “Coming into this season, I was hoping for a .500 team. Now I think we can play with anyone.” Cougars starting pitcher Sydney Roe dominated, allowing only two hits while striking out 10 in the five-inning game. “I actually thought she was a little off today,” Pyne said. “He was throwing hard and hitting her spots, but she had some misses and actually was a lit-

tle more dominant in a loss earlier this season.” Roe struck out 10 of the 16 batters she faced, including five in a row at

one point during the game. She also retired the final 11 Patriots hitters. “She is very strong on the mound and, even though she had a few hiccups tonight, she was throwing well,” Pyne said. “We are young, and after knowing what they have done the past few seasons, I didn’t want to set my expectations, but these girls are changing that thought.” Over the previous three seasons, the Cougars have struggled to a 14-63-1 record. Pyne said communication was a key factor. “That has changed a lot, and the girls really didn’t have a choice after one of our best players, (junior Ashley) Sandoval, tore her MCL and meniscus. But they have really stepped up and have been very vocal on the field and during practices.” Against Independence (3-2), the Cougars started by quickly pushing across five runs in the bottom of the first. With one out, Mary Pearce tripled to right and was brought home on a bunt single by Sara O’Connor. O’Connor was then driven in on a double by Celina Morales, and Morales was brought home on a single by Desarae Leyva. Jisselle Navejas then singled in Leyva and, after a fly out, Navejas was brought across on a double by Suzie Normandin. The Cougars led 5-0 after the first inning.

“After (Independence) opened the game with a single, I just wanted to get through the first inning, and the offense really opened up when we got to bat,” Pyne said. “The girls made adjustments at the plate and our offense got rolling.” Roe then took over for the Cougars, striking out six of the next ten Patriots batters to dominate on the mound. “It was a workman-like performance for Roe,” Pyne said. “She was moving the ball in and out and was throwing hard but, believe it or not, struggled with hitting her spots at times.” Eight of the nine batters for the Cougars had at least one hit and one RBI in the game, led by Celina Morales, who had three hits, two doubles and a home run while driving in three runs. Leah Calderon, Roe, Pearce, O’Connor, Leyva and Suzie Normandin each had two hits in the game. As the Cougars continue to prepare for Northwest Section play, Pyne said he is aiming to solidify his defense before it begins March 26. “We have a tournament coming up and basically I want to solidify our defense, because we have girls playing in different positions than they planned on when the season started,” Pyne said. “I am comfortable with our pitching. We may not throw no-hitters, but if we can get our defense set, I believe we can hang with anyone.”

Julia Michaels shares innermost thoughts on tour with Pink BY TAYLOR O’CONNOR Glendale Star Staff Writer

Julia Michaels has been fortunate in her short career. She recently wrapped a tour with Keith Urban in Australia. Now, she’s ready to hit the road with Pink on her “Beautiful Trauma” jaunt, which comes to Gila River Arena on Friday, March 30. “This is actually my first tour with a woman and my first tour without men,” Michaels said. “It’s exciting. I get to be around someone I have looked up to for a long time.” Michaels hopes to make the same mark on fans during her stint opening for Pink. “There are going to be lots of fun moments, lots of broken-down moments,” she said. “I wanted it to resemble life. I wanted there to be highs and lows. I don’t want everything to be one emotion. It will be a rollercoaster of life all in one night.” Michaels is touring behind her EP, “Inner Monologue Part 1,” during which she talks about her experiences with depression and anxiety. It has thoughts on heartbreak, thoughts on love, thoughts on anxiety. “It was definitely cathartic for me,” she said. “I get to talk about things I go through on a daily basis, and it’s stuff

Although all of her songs are special, Michaels said this song was fun to make. “It’s about depression and how you sabotage love because you’re scared, but then you’re bitter about it because you still want it,” Michaels said. “It’s a song everybody screams at the top of their lungs.” Before “Inner Monologue Part 1” SEE MICHAELS PAGE 27

The two continued to work and came up with the idea of making the song “fun and sexy.” Michaels said the song’s lighthearted and fun twist made it easier to write, Bay asked her to sing backup. Michaels agreed and the two released the song on February 15. Michaels said she is looking forward to coming to Arizona and performing. “It’s going to be really fun and really emotional. It’s going to take you through all of the feelings,” she said. Her advice for the audience: “Singing is encouraged, letting go is encouraged and having fun is encouraged.” Pink w/ Julia Michaels

Auxiliary supports Luke’s Operation Kids BY MARGE CHRISTIANSON

American Legion Auxiliary Unit 62 Volunteer Outreach Coordinator

Carolina and Mikayla go to the same school. They are both in second grade. They both like the things that little girls like. They are also children of military families. Carolina’s father, Staff Sgt. Oros, has been active duty in the Air Force for almost 10 years and is currently deployed in Korea. Mikayla’s father, Sgt. Dennen, is in the Army National Guard. He was deployed to Kosovo when Mikayla was in kindergarten. Prior to that, while active duty, he served in Iraq. Recognizing the unique circumstances of military children, Peoria’s American Legion Auxiliary works with the Luke AFB Family Readiness Group throughout the year on events, especially for military families. Recently, the unit participated in Luke’s Operation Kids, a program designed to help children of deploying or deployed parents understand what happens when their parent leaves. The children go through a “mock” deployment program – they get on a bus and go to their military base, shoot paint ball guns, get treated for “wounds” in the medical tent, try military MREs (Meals Ready to Eat) and more. “Carolina and Mikayla have been best friends since kindergarten,” said Allyson Dennen, Mikayla’s mom. “Mikayla remembers what it was like when her father was deployed, and now she can understand how Carolina feels firsthand.” Having this kind of support – from friends, neighbors and the public in general – is important to military families. The Oroses were married in 2018; Carolina and her mom, Raquel, are new to the military community. This is their first deployment experience as a military family – and they are expecting a baby boy this spring. Oros explained, “Operation Kids and support from organizations like the American Legion Auxiliary have really been a piece of love from the community that we did not expect. We are so thankful for others making simple gestures or putting on activities to help make the time pass by a little easier.” Children often do not understand why a parent has to leave, and they display feelings of depression, anger and insecurity. With the help of programs

like Operation Kids, those feelings can be replaced with pride. This is true for Carolina. “Any time she sees anything that has to do with Korea or the F-16, she makes a point of telling everyone about her dad’s service,” Oros said. The Oroses also attended the Auxiliary’s ZOOMTOWN Lights Christmas event held at the ISM Raceway. Oros said, “Although my husband is not close, these events make us feel closer to him, and I know for my daughter it is a Carolina Oros and Mikayla Dennen wear their leis and hold onto books they get to read during a Luke Operation Kids way to relate to him.” event supported by American Legion Auxiliary Unit 62.

Joziah summed up the event when upon returning to their home, he said to his mom, “Mom! That was amazing!

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Hello, readers! And welcome back to the column with all the great new businesses. We’re already three months into 2019 and already there have been so many openings. Just look back at any of our previous briefings. This time is no different. First, I’ll start with one that pairs a new business with an event to boot; beyond that, I have three more varying establishments that opened earlier this year. Here’s the news! First, help Mayor Jerry Weiers, Councilwoman Laura Tolmachoff and the Glendale Chamber of Commerce welcome Trinity Chiropractic to the community with a grand-opening, ribbon-cutting ceremony from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Monday, March 25. In addition to food, music, raffles, and wine tasting with Wines for Humanity, Trinity Chiropractic will offer spinal screenings, tours of its new office, and free chair massages. As a special introductory offer, the practice will give attendees $29 exams, with X-rays when necessary. Trinity Chiropractic is at 18275 N. 59th Avenue, Suite M-178. For more information about the event, contact Sheryl Iszler at 602-603-5444 or info@trinitychiroaz.com. For more

information about the practice and its services, visit trinitychiroaz.com. Then, Eyeglass World recently opened at 7470 W. Bell Road, Suite 206. It is northeast of Bell Road and 75th Avenue, beside Café Zupas and across 75th Avenue from Arrowhead Towne Center. The store performs eye exams and sells brand-name and prescription eyeglasses for men, women and kids, as well as sunglasses and contact lenses. A great option for those looking to save some money is the company’s two-for-$78 deal. This location is open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturdays, and it is closed Sundays. For more information, visit eyeglassworld.com/store-list/ glendale-az-85308. Moving along, Scissor Paws may not exactly be new – but it is… Founded in 2012 as a mobile grooming service, it now has its own shop.

Inspira Arrowhead poised to open BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Cadence Living, Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers and other community and business leaders will host the grand opening celebration of Inspira Arrowhead, Cadence Living’s first senior lifestyle community in Arizona, from 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday, March 28.

beer and non-alcoholic beverages. Guests will also enjoy live local music, ballroom dancing, massages in the spa, caricature artists and balloons for kids. Tours of the new community will be provided, allowing guests to experience the living options and amenities at Inspira Arrowhead. RSVP at 623-207-1909 or lhiguera@ cadencesl.com.

If you’re not sold yet, well, it offers two packages, according to its website: a full groom, which includes a bath, haircut, nail trimming, ear cleaning, teeth cleaning and anal gland services; or just a bath and brush, which substitutes the haircut for the simple use of a FURminator. Shampoos are locally produced, natural, biodegradable, nontoxic and gluten free, its website continues. It opens at 8 a.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, but it’s closed Sundays and Mondays. It’s located at 15224 N. 59th Avenue, Suite 17, southwest of Greenway Road and 59th Avenue. For more information, visit scissorpawsaz.com or find it on Facebook @scissorpawsaz. Here’s an interesting one. Botánica Cubana Oshun is a boutique shop

for Cuban items for the Yoruba religion. From tureens to pedestals and beyond, there are plenty of items to find in Botánica Cubana Oshun, but if that’s your realm, you’ll have to stop on in to find out all there is to know. It’s located at 6409 W. Glendale Avenue, near the Sonic off Glendale Avenue. For more information, visit facebook.com/Botánica-Cubana-Oshun-724388294609644, call 602-3212402 or email botanicacubanaoshun@ gmail.com. That’s all the briefs for this week. Thanks for reading!
