Glendale selected for Red Bull facility BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer
NEWS...............8 West, East Valley Realtors groups approve merger
As the city of Glendale continues to rebound from near bankruptcy, RRB Beverage Operations Inc. announced plans March 13 to build a new manufacturing plant within city limits. The facility is set to open in the first quarter of 2021. Red Bull, Ball Corporation and Rauch Fruit Juices will partner on construction of the plant, which will be at the southeast corner of Reems Road and Peoria Avenue. “The partners originally contacted the state and the (Arizona Commerce Authority) because of some state incentives,” City Manager Kevin Phelps told The Glendale Star.
“They then passed on the lead and we showed them the site.” Ball currently has a site near Van Buren Street and 51st Avenue, but Phelps said the city’s economic development department had major work to do to help secure a deal for another facility. “(Economic development) and staff put together an incentive package and timeline. One of their biggest decision makers to selecting a site was getting shovels in the ground so (the facility) could be open in the first quarter of 2021,” Phelps said. “They had to be convinced that whatever city they selected could deliver on their timeline of opening in 2021.” The companies will fill cans in the

700,000-square-foot building, which is expected to add 140 new jobs to the city when it opens. Phelps said at least a third of them will be high-wage jobs, offering salaries upward of $60,000. “Sometimes you need catalysts to accelerate what you’re doing,” Phelps said. “I think this is clearly going to be a catalyst.” During the first meeting between city staff, Red Bull, Ball Corporation and Rauch Fruit Juices, Phelps pulled out all the stops to convince them Glendale would be the perfect fit. In addition to himself, “anyone who would be remotely connected with this project was at that first meeting,” he said. SEE CANNING PAGE 3

A bid to force a vote on having Arizona ratify the Equal Rights Amendment faltered recently when Republicans refused to allow it. The 16-13 vote against suspending the rules to permit a vote came after even three Republicans who are cosponsors of SCR 1009 refused to side with the Democrats who sought an immediate vote; a fourth was absent. Their support would have provided the margin of support to require a vote. One of them, Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, R-Scottsdale, said afterward she still supports the ERA. SEE ERA PAGE 6

business offices. But overnight stays are not allowed. “If they would like to try and get it rezoned, they would have to bring it before council, which they have not indicated they plan to do,” Phelps said. City staff recently toured the building and found considerable damage. Repairs are needed to get it up to code. “There (are) extensive structural issues with the roof, moisture in the building, as well as some mold,” Phelps said. Glow said she cost estimates are being studied for needed repairs, but the plan is to get the project underway as soon as possible. “We have been talking to Mayor (Jerry) Weiers and his neighborhood cities about what is needed in the West Valley, which has seen a dramatic rise in homelessness,” Glow said. “We know the mayor is very solution oriented and wants to make the community safer, and to get people off of the streets. The mayor himself is extremely committed and innovative in addressing the problem and has put his might behind his workforce program.” Glow said early discussions with council have been positive, and CASS is focused on trying to improve the entire community. “Homelessness is their problem too. We do not intend to bring homeless people downtown; rather, we intend to get the homeless people who are there already off the street,” Glow said. Phelps added that while the city is supportive of business owners’ rights, CASS has done nothing wrong in the transaction. “Sometimes people may have a use for their building that doesn’t meet the values or goals of theirs, but at the end of the day government should be agnostic towards it,” Phelps said. “We are not supporting CASS or discouraging CASS, but we are saying this building has rights, and if they occupy it they will have to do certain things in the zoning. If they want to change the zoning, they will have to go through that process like anyone else.” Glow added, “We just want to bring our expertise to the community with the goal of decreasing the impacts of homelessness in the community. Our plan is to help the city of Glendale in ways they need support, to address the impacts of homelessness, which is why we have been in discussion with the city before making any decisions. It will not be a shelter.”

“We showed them charts showing how we could get them open when they wanted.” Despite competition with other cities for the plant, Phelps said Glendale staff ultimately proved its strengths and convinced the tenants. “For Red Bull, Ball and Rauch, speed to market was everything. There were lots of sites in Arizona that are similar to the one here, and they will pay a somewhat higher cost to develop this site because of lack of infrastructure,” Phelps said. “They are going to have to extend water and power that other sites didn’t have. But there is something to be said for speed to market, and we showed them how they could offset those costs by our commitment to run the process concurrently, rather than sequentially.” The plant is on a nearly 1,400-acre site recently annexed into city limits by council. The Woolf Logistics Industrial Campus, it is expected to house numerous industrial businesses. Of the campus, the future canning facility is the largest tenant announced in its portion of the city.

consists of farms but is primed for expansion and growth. “It’s quite a testament to what Arizona has to offer when three major brand names, Ball, Rauch and Red Bull, choose our state for a project of this size,” Gov. Doug Ducey said. “We could not be more pleased that Arizona was selected for this operation, which will create over 140 new West Valley jobs. We congratulate all three partners on this exciting new development.” Phelps added that the site selected was the only site looked at in Glendale.

The companies did, however, consider other locations across the state before settling on the West Valley. “This was the only site they looked at (in Glendale),” Phelps said. “But the reality is Ball already has a facility in the West Valley, so one could say there could have been synergy to continue there. But this shows our ability to convince them this is an ideal site.” Phelps added that while future expansion has not been discussed, the location selected leaves room for potential growth.

ERA FROM PAGE 1
But she said the motion by Senate Minority Leader David Bradley, D-Tucson, was to suspend the rules to force a vote. And Ugenti-Rita said she has to support her party when there is a vote on changing procedures. For other Republicans, their vote to deny even debating the issue was strictly on philosophical and political lines. Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, worried about the effects of a federal constitutional amendment which would say that “equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex.” “‘Sex’ has a lot of different definitions today than it did in the 1970s,” she said, when the amendment was first proposed. And that, said Allen, would lead to “unintended consequences.” “It would be impossible for girls’ sports to keep boys out,” she said. “Already, transgender men are disrupting women’s sports.” Allen also said it would require things like mixing men and women in prison. Both Sens. J.D. Mesnard, whose district includes a piece of western Gilbert, and Eddie Farnsworth voted against the motion.
Farnsworth argued that the ERA would provide a constitutional basis to argue not only for abortion but to invalidate laws that prohibit the use of public funds to terminate a pregnancy. But Sen. Victoria Steele, D-Tucson, said opposition is based on myths. “The ERA is not about abortion,” she said. Steele said if that were true the original measure to try to get Arizona to ratify it in the 1970s would not have been backed by Sandra Day O’Connor, then a Republican state senator, and Claire Dunn, a Democrat nun from Tucson who was in the state House. Farnsworth responded he has no way of knowing the motives of the pair. Much of the more than an hour of debate turned on long-repeated claims on
both sides. “A basic principle of the American idea is majority rules,” said Sen. Andrea Dallesandro, D-Green Valley. And she said more than half of all citizens in Arizona and the United States are women. “American women remain vastly underrepresented, underpaid and undervalued without the ratification of the ERA,” Dallesandro said. But Sen. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, said there already are federal and state laws to prevent employers from discriminating in pay based on gender. “The wage gap is driven by choices of men and women make,” he said. “Women can work fewer hours than men,” Borrelli said. He also said there

is “almost no gap” in wages when comparing single and childless women with what men earn. That explanation annoyed Steele. “The wage gap cannot be explained away by choices,” she said. And Steele said she was not content to rely on statutes to protect women. “Those rights are based on laws – laws that can and do disappear with every political election,” she said, with constitutional amendments needed to cement protections into place. Sen. Sine Kerr, R-Buckeye, said the problems go beyond the 23 words in the amendment guaranteeing equality of rights. She pointed out that the proposed amendment also would give Congress the power to enforce it. “It is wrong to abdicate our state’s rights to Congress,” she said. Then there’s the legal question. Congress approved the amendment in 1972, sending it to the states for ratification. Three-fourths of the states – a total of 38 – have to approve. By the original 1979 deadline, 35 had approved. And a congressional extension until June 30, 1982, produced no more. Nevada and Illinois have since done SEE ERA PAGE 7

West, East Valley Realtors groups approve merger BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Members of the SouthEast Valley Regional Association of Realtors (SEVRAR) and the West Maricopa Association of Realtors (WeMAR) have voted to merge, creating one of the largest groups of its kind in the state. Members approved the union of the two 53-year-old groups, culminating discussions that began in October. “We have a lot of work to do at this stage, but I’m encouraged by what this can look like in 12 months,” said Derek Anglin, SEVRAR president. “I’m looking forward to what our combined, local associations can accomplish within our community outreach efforts and how our government affairs networking can improve to ensure our members’ and clients’ rights toward home ownership are protected.” The transition team hosted eight informational town hall meetings at SEVRAR and WeMAR in February and March to discuss how the merger might expand benefits and services, improve economies of scale and give members access to multiple locations
throughout the Valley. “The impact to the members would vary with three locations to serve the members, additional national speakers, streamlining the process for brokers, a broad outreach program engaging our communities and advocacy in protecting homeownership and private property rights,” said M. Teresa Rubio-Acuña, WeMAR president. “The list can be endless.” “The transition team was vital to the process in order to implement their idea of merging the two largest Realtor associations in Arizona,” said SEVRAR CEO Pamela Frestedt, noting the small group could “move the process quickly and smoothly.”
The new association will have about 21,000 Realtors – nearly half of Arizona’s Realtor membership and covering more than 30 municipalities in the state. A spokesman said that it will be bigger than 30 state associations and will be the fifth largest local association of its kind in the country. SEVRAR draws its membership from Ahwatukee, Apache Junction, Chandler, Gilbert, San Tan Valley, Guadalupe, Mesa, Queen Creek, Gold Canyon, Sun Lakes and Tempe. WeMAR members are in Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Gila Bend, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Sun City, Sun City West, Surprise, Tolleson, Youngtown, Waddell and Wickenburg as well as in Douglas and Western Pinal chapters. A “broker liaison” will be design to assist members “with receiving cutting-edge industry advancements that can better serve their businesses,” a spokesman said, adding that complaints will be processed more quickly
and that community outreach programs through SEVRAR’s critical needs fund and WeMAR C.A.R.E.S. will reach more people in need. Now that both memberships voted to merge, the transition team will begin the process of merging the two associations, said Roger Nelson, CEO of WeMAR. “This process includes updating bylaws, creating organization policies, drafting business and strategic plans, and developing new budgets,” he said. “Much of this work will provide the opportunity for the two associations’ current volunteers and leaders to work in unison through work groups and task forces.” Nelson added that the new association would focus on creating a better professional experience for its members. “We will do this by enhancing professional development curriculum, and increasing activities and commitments to Realtor and personal property rights,” he said.

Anti-vaxxers swelling the ranks of stupidity BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
Lately there’s been a lot of talk about climate change as the most serious threat facing mankind. Respectfully, I disagree. Climate change may indeed lay waste to civilization someday. But my money is on stupidity killing us first. If that sounds mean-spirited, please understand that the past few weeks have been an epic stretch for those of us who track idiocy, which happens to be my principal form of entertainment. And while it’s easy to excuse stupidity because we all have brain lapses from time to time, some of us seem determined to push human ignorance to its absolute pinnacle. Like the now-notorious selfie-taker known as Leanne, no last name, who came to fame on a recent sunny Satur-
day at the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park. Leanne is alleged to have leaned beyond or otherwise crossed a barrier in order to get closer to a female jaguar. The jaguar did what annoyed jaguars do, swiping at Leanne through a fence, clawing her arm deeply enough to require multiple stitches. “We have determined the jaguar was not at fault in any way,” a zoo spokesperson told a Channel 3 reporter. “The injuries were due to human error.” Uh, I’ll say. Seriously, if you can’t attend the zoo properly as an adult, how do you handle stuff like work or grocery shopping?
Colorectal cancer screenings save lives. Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death —but it doesn’t have to be. If you are 50 or older, have a family history of colon cancer, or if you are experiencing symptoms such as pain, rectal bleeding, or change in bowel habits, it’s recommended that you get a colonoscopy. A colon screening can help detect abnormal occurrences and diseases, such as polyps, early enough for a simple treatment to be effective. And screening is often covered by your insurance provider. Call us at 480.939.5819 or visit dignityhealth.org/colonexpertsAZ to find a doctor.
I typically ponder such existential questions while hiking Piestewa Peak, except I’m giving that particular trail a break now, after police arrested three men there last Monday. Their crime? Firing a 9mm handgun at a saguaro near the busy Hopi trailhead. While smoking weed. And babysitting a 1-year-old. Terrorized hikers and residents called the cops. Officers found the Glock pistol in the baby’s car seat – beneath the baby. The 29-year-old dad, Nicholas Forte, told police he was holding the toddler when a buddy handed him the gun, so he put the Glock in the baby seat, then sat the kid down on top of it. This story makes me wonder why there isn’t an enhanced sentence for criminal stupidity, similar to how a “hate crimes” designation adds prison time for heinous offenders. We clearly need to up the ante, because stupid people are getting more dangerous daily. Like the anti-vaxxers. Leanne risked only her own life. The Saguaro Shooters endangered a small child and some nearby hikers. Anti-vaxxers endanger broad swaths of Arizona by refusing to vaccinate their children, despite decades of persuasive medical evidence and the urging of ev-
eryone from the Centers for Disease Control to the surgeon general to Gov. Doug Ducey. Mesa Rep. Kelly Townsend, head of the state Legislature’s “Looney Tunes” bloc, recently bashed vaccination requirements, opining, “The idea that we force someone to give up their liberty for the sake of the collective is not based on American values but rather, Communist.” Townsend later doubled down on the crazy, comparing vaccinating children to ward off measles, mumps and rubella with … the Holocaust? For Townsend, mandatory vaccines to protect public health – or, as she puts it, “government forcing you to inject a solution into your body that could very well damage you for life or even kill you” – is somehow akin to the Nazis tattooing prisoners with ID numbers at death camps. “Your body is your own,” Townsend told reporters. I couldn’t agree more. As a rule, Americans stand free to use our bodies as we see fit. I just wish more of us would actually use our brains every now and again.

Road trips top family vacation plans in 2019
Road trips remain a popular vacation option for families, with 53 percent of traveling families expecting to hit the highways this year. (Photo courtesy AAA)
BY MICHELLE DONATI-GRAYMAN AAA Arizona Media Relations Lead
Across the country, families are getting ready to embark on exciting adventures. A recent AAA Travel survey revealed that nearly 100 million Americans – four in 10 U.S. adults – plan to take a family vacation this year. Two-thirds of travelers are planning a summer getaway, while just under half plan to travel during spring. Road trips remain a popular vacation option for families, with 53 percent of traveling families expecting to hit the highways this year. Hitting the road also can be an economical way to vacation, according to recent AAA survey data. Gas prices are averaging more than a quarter cheaper in 2019 when compared to the first few months of last year. These lower prices could mean a little extra time exploring – 33 percent of Americans say they would consider taking an extra vacation if prices remain low. Where are adventurous families headed this year? According to AAA’s travel editors, the most popular summer road trip destinations for 2019 include Las Vegas to national parks; Northern California and the Southern Oregon Coast; Northern New England; Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Black Hills, South Dakota. AAA’s travel experts offer several
tips to families headed on a road trip: Be prepared: Books, games and music can help entertain passengers. Keep healthy snacks on hand, especially if you can’t stop for a full meal. Stay safe: Plan frequent stops – about every 100 miles or two hours – to rest and remain alert. All passengers should wear seat belts or be secured in a child safety seat. Eliminate distractions: Pre-program your GPS device and adjust mirrors and seats before beginning to drive, and don’t use a handheld or hands-free cellphone while driving. Practice patience: Busy roads are commonplace during the summer driving season. Leaving earlier in the day can help you avoid heavy traffic. Research your destination: Map out your route in advance using AAA’s TripTik Travel Planner. A knowledgeable travel agent also can help you plan a stress-free vacation. Download the AAA Mobile app to find diamond-rated hotels and restaurants as well as the latest gas prices. Be road trip-ready: Taking your vehicle to a AAA Car Care or Approved Auto Repair facility for any scheduled maintenance is a smart move before embarking on a road trip. Keep an emergency kit inside your vehicle with flares, jumper cables, a first-aid kit and extra water. AAA also recommends families plan and research as far ahead as possible to avoid missing out on popular activities and fun. Visit aaa.com/travel to plan and book your family’s vacation today.

Judges are human, too Each Wednesday my court holds initial arraignments for traffic citations. This is the time for the judge to explain what the options are to a driver for a particular traffic violation. One usually has several options: 1. You can request a hearing. This is where you will come back to court and the judge listens to you and the officer. Be sure and come prepared to present your entire case; extensions are seldom granted. 2. You can pay the standard fine, or 3. You may be eligible to go to driving school. Driving school, which used to only be available every 24 months, is now available every 12 months. If someone goes to driving school, the citation is usually dismissed. This may benefit the driver’s future insurance premiums. Just so you know, it is more important to me that the unsafe driving behavior is corrected for the safety of everyone than to just collect a fine. When I was a police officer, I gave many traffic warnings. It was always my belief that it was my job to correct unsafe driving, not just write tickets. Most of the time, the behavior could be corrected through education; however, sometimes, unfortunately, it needed to be done with the citation. As a judge, my position has not changed much. I continue to think it is more important for a driver to not commit the unsafe violation

again through education than to simply impose a fine. A young lady appeared before me for a speeding citation and asked me what driving school was like. I told her that when I went to driving school I found it informative. A man in the back of the courtroom started laughing to the point that it became disruptive. I asked him why he was laughing. He said “Judge, it’s just good to see you are just as normal as we are.” I suppose that is true. As judges we are just like everyone else and held accountable to the rules as well. The responsibilities and authority that are given to a judge do not give him or her special privileges. Lesson from the bench: “A judge is an ordinary person with extraordinary responsibilities.” – Judge Q. Tolby Judge Watts’ web page is donaldwatts.info.

Heritage Elementary builds homes in Rocky Point BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer
Heritage Elementary principal Justin Dye had an idea assist those in need three years ago. So, he decided to get his elementary school students and staff involved. In late February, Dye led 21 staff, students and family members to Rocky Point, Mexico, where they assisted the Gonzales Bejarno family. The family moved from Sierra de Chihuahua five months ago. Of the family’s seven children, the oldest don’t attend school in order to help support the family. “I went to my church group several years ago and thought that the 1MISSION philosophy really aligns with Heritage’s six pillars of respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, trustworthiness and citizenship,” Dye explained of the initial idea. 1MISSION is a community development organization that gives people facing poverty the opportunity to earn a home by serving their community. A group of private donors funds U.S operations costs, so 100 percent of public donations go directly to field programs. The group has built 847 homes, with more than 20,000 people volunteering

more than 155,832 hours in numerous countries since it was founded in 2008. The stability the Gonzalez Bejarno family’s new home will provide will help them acquire the necessary documents to allow their children to return to school. Andres Gonzales Bejarno said in a statement that the new house from 1MISSION enables his family to live independently, and allows them to focus on their daily needs and on working toward a more secure future.
“Our staff is very supportive, with many of them donating school supplies for families,” Dye said. “We had 21 staff and family that went and we built a house from scratch. Dye said the group spent three nights at the 1MISSION base camp in Rocky Point, where volunteers slept in tents. During the day they assisted the Gonzales Bejarno family. “This helps Heritage because it gives our staff and families a chance to help a family a need,” Dye said.
With 1MISSION, families in need earn a home through community service. Each recipient must serve a set amount of community service hours, with a goal to foster significant ownership, not just in one’s home but in the entire community. “The main goal is to help a family in need acquire a house, after they have earned the hours,” Dye said. “They work to get it, and it is not just a handout. They earn them.” Dye emphasized that not only does the family in need get something out of the project, but his students and staff also benefit from helping those in need. “Our staff gets to experience the joy of volunteering, and make friends with the family they are helping,” Dye said. “They learn how fortunate and blessed they are with their own situation.” After three volunteering trips, Dye said the group has had more than 100 students, staff and family members volunteer their time to build houses for the needy. “Each year our group gets bigger, as we have had over 100 do this,” Dye said. “It honestly is life changing and really helps put things in perspective.”

Banner Thunderbird nurse, 73, climbs Mt. Kilimanjaro BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer
Nearly 30 years after getting her nursing degree, Banner Thunderbird nurse Betty Schley continues to defy age with the completion of one of her bucket list items. Last summer Schley, 73, told The Glendale Star of her plans. “I am going to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa in February,” she said. Now, she has reached new heights. For her 73rd birthday she did what few have done. Schley hiked 68 miles up Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania over eight days last month. The full-time nurse works at Banner Thunderbird Medical Center in Glendale, and regularly makes time for world-traveling adventures. Her journeys have taken her to all seven continents. She has gone scuba diving in the Red Sea and Thailand, and ice diving in Canada. She graduated from Okanagan College in British Columbia in 1965 to become a licensed practical nurse (LPN), but was kept from finishing her education. She returned years later to

complete her registered nursing (RN) degree in 1990. “Life happened,” she said. “I was married for a number of years and raised a son and daughter, working
evening shifts to accommodate my family.” Schley started her career 53 years ago in adult rehabilitation and has worked in adult medical surgery, neurosurgery, emergency rooms and pediatrics. At Banner Thunderbird, where she has been for two years, she has continued in the pediatric department because she says she felt it was where she was needed. “Rehabilitation was the most fulfilling, because you see the patients get better and walk out of the hospital and you know you made a difference,” she said. “I remember that I wanted to experience everything I could, so I worked anywhere I could to learn.” Schley said the profession has changed so much over the years. She likes to tell younger nurses how far
things have come in their profession. “When I started in a 32-bed hospital, everything was glass and we had to clean it, but now it is all plastic and you throw it away,” Schley said. “I tell them that we had to make mustard plaster for heating pads, and nurses will look at me and laugh and ask what it is.” While most people her age may take life slowly, Schley is making the most out of hers and credits her work in helping children as an ongoing inspiration to stay healthy, active and young at heart. “I tell everyone, you’re only as old as you think you are,” Schley said. “If you think you can’t do it, then you’ll never do it.” Schley was also recently highlighted on the storytelling podcast “Bedside Stories.” In the episode “A Lifetime of Good Karma,” Schley shared funny and insightful tales from throughout her lifelong nursing career. She began as a nursing volunteer at just 13 years old. The episode of “Bedside Stories” about Schley is available on iTunes, Spotify and Anchor.

Deaf mentor program helps toddler speak BY CAROLYN DRYER Glendale Star Editor
Emma Morales prefers to sign rather than speak. The 3-year-old feels free to use her hands even though she uses her cochlear implant every day, according to her mother, Laura. Laura and her husband, Antonio, left Hawaii and moved to Peoria a little over two years ago, after they learned Emma was deaf. The couple believed they were giving their daughter access to the best medical care and resources. Soon after the move, the family connected with a deaf mentor program through the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Although Emma has a cochlear implant, she has received help from her deaf mentor, Christina Vorreyer-Davis, who comes to their home for an hourlong session each week. Laura said it takes a year before speech and oral capabilities develop. “She can hear some sounds, imitate sounds and does mouth movements,” Laura said. “She prefers to use American Sign Language. I’m open to both for my daughter. I have learned ASL.”
dren are learning ASL, and her middle child loves it. Laura went to Phoenix College to earn her deaf study certificate and said she now has the ability to communicate with her daughter. “I’m always trying to increase my vocabulary,” she said. To gain more knowledge and learn more words, she attends board meetings and events for the deaf. One event took place at the Renaissance Festival March 9.

Laura said the deaf mentor program has been very helpful, and the plan is for Emma to enroll at Phoenix Day School for the Deaf. Once she is fluent in ASL, they plan to transition her to a mainstream school. Laura wants other parents of deaf children to know there is help out there, and encourages them to seek the resources to help their child. “I’d love for people to go out there and get help,” she said. “No matter what, go out and get involved, the better their life will be.” For more information, call the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing at 602-542-3323 or visit acdhh.org.

Air rifle competition yields champion shooters BY BETTE SHARPE Glendale Daily Planet
Safety and good sportsmanship came first at the Department of Arizona Commander’s Centennial Three-Position Air Rifle Cup Match, held in the Southwest Indian Ministries Center gymnasium earlier this month. Air rifles, like those used in the March 9 competition, fire paper pellets that travel approximately 600 feet per second. They are defined as a tool, not as a weapon. Scoring for the match was done electronically. “Congratulations to all of the shooters and teams that won awards; and thank you to all the coaches and shooters for attending the match. Thank you to all the event staff for their help. Because of you, we had a successful cup match once again this year,” said Dan Palmer, commander/adjutant for Glendale’s American Legion Arrowhead-John E. Ford III Post 144. JROTC teams trekked from across the state to compete. Tombstone and Buena Vista high schools were among those that participated. Adults, coaches and range safety officers (SRO) were present to make sure competitors followed gun and eye safety protocol. Bob Krumwiede served as chief range safety officer. “We tripled the number of shooters attending the event compared to last year,” Palmer said. According to Palmer, the event started with a Boy Scout troop presenting the colors. Ken King, Area B vice commander for the Department of Arizona, kicked off the ceremony and presented awards to individual shooters and teams.

Xavier Keeling and his team their first-place veteran shooter team trophy and individual medals. (Photos by Bette Sharpe/Glendale Daily Planet)
Palmer added that the event featured a demonstration from the National Rifle Association’s Adaptive Shooting Program and was staffed by Young Marines. T-shirts, hats, pins, safety cards and award booklets were provided by the NRA and Brownell’s. A Wickenburg group, the 40&8 Voiture, cooked breakfast and lunch for spectators, competitors, coaches and event staff, Palmer added. As for the competition itself, there were three relays, each with three positions: prone, kneeling and standing. Each rally usually took about an hour and 15 minutes. Members of the JROTC teams were well prepared, remained patient and practiced during the daylong competition. In the last challenge of the day, the top 16 shooters battled for individual
awards. That group was divided into two smaller groups, which separated experienced or veteran shooters from newer ones. In the end, shooters and coaches received long-sleeve shirts, carrying bags and “one-of-a-kind” Junior Shooting Sports Program coins, Palmer said. The new shooter and veteran division’s top shooters each received a Crosman Challenger PCP air rifle. The first-place veteran division received a 6-foot by 8-foot event banner and the first-place new shooter division received a 6-foot by 6-foot tablecloth. “A huge thank you to M & J Trophies for all the medals, trophies, banBuckeye High School JROTC members take part in the Department of Arizona Commander’s Centennial Three-Position Air Rifle Cup Match, March 9 in the Southwest Indian Ministries Center gymnasium.

ners, stickers, shirts and carrying bags for the event,” Palmer said. “A thank you goes to The American Legion-Department of Arizona for trusting in Dr. Roberta Kimelton and I to make the Arizona JSSP a model for other states,” he added. The next match is scheduled for October and will be at Cactus High School. Organizers plan to have 40 new shooter and 40 veteran shooter lanes running at the same time, which will allow them to accommodate more than 100 teams, or 400 shooters, from Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Montana and Alaska. “Maybe in 2020 the National American Legion Air Rifle Competition will be held in Arizona and not Colorado,” Palmer said.

Local teacher honored as one of state’s best
Be My Hero 5K run and Mustache Dash
BY DARRELL JACKSON
BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF This April, more than 300 people will lace up their running shoes to support local veterans. The event, which includes a 5K run and Mustache Dash for kids ages 8 and younger, is set for 8 a.m. Sunday, April 7. This is the benefit event’s fourth consecutive year at Camelback Ranch/Glendale, 10710 W. Camelback Road. “It is a fun way to get the kids involved, and they love it,” said Tammy Goff, event coordinator and founder. The proceeds will be used to make much-needed repairs to disabled or injured veterans’ homes, such as fixing broken wheelchair ramps, installing grab bars and other household necessities, as well as paying for medical treatments and education. Last year, Goff said, some of the money raised was used to help a man who had lost his car and was subsequently going to lose his job.

Pastor Delph: The game of thrones…and towels Here’s a thought for us to consider about the leadership. “Lovers of people are not always the greatest leaders of people and leaders of people are not always the greatest lovers of people.” In other words, love and leadership are not diametrically opposed; love and leadership can work together. Leadership is about managing relationships and tasks correctly and effectively. Jesus is a great example to learn from on this dilemma. Author John Maxwell notes there are three questions followers ask of a leader. If you have a position of leadership in any capacity, you should be aware of these questions. It will help you in both loving and leading people. The three questions are: Do you like me? Can you help me? Can I trust you? In other words, will you add value to my life? Why would I follow you as a leader if

you were going to use me and perhaps abuse me solely for your own needs?” Think of it. “Do you like me?” has to do with the leader’s compassion. “Can you help me?” has to do with the leader’s competence. “Can I trust you?” has to do with the leader’s character. These three questions are the same in any culture, any country or any time. Leaders, take note. There’s a thin line between motivating followers to go from A to B and manipulating followers to go from A to B. Manipulating people is always wrong. Always.
Here’s a great example of leaders who manipulate and bully people and the solution for the problem from the Bible. “It was about that time that the mother of the Zebedee brothers came with her two sons and knelt before Jesus with a request. “What do you want?” Jesus asked. She said, “Give your word that these two sons of mine will be awarded the highest places of honor in your kingdom, one at your right hand, one at your left hand.” When the 10 others heard about this, they lost their tempers, thoroughly disgusted with the two brothers. So, Jesus got them together to settle things down. He said, “You’ve observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads. It’s not going to be that way with

you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served – and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage.” Parts from Matthew 20:20-28. Jesus is thinking, “This is a problem. I’ve got clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right; here I am, stuck in the middle with James, John and their mother. I’m going to have to bring my problem children to the altar for a lesson on leadership.” James and John wanted a “selfie” with Jesus to show their friends on Facebook how significant they were, making them envious because of who they were hanging out with. The disciples were dissing, disgusted and divided. I think they became envious, saying, in essence, “Me too…me too!” Let me paraphrase what Jesus is saying. “You think God runs His kingdom like the world’s leaders. But not so in God’s kingdom. Don’t let power go to your head or strive to be the center of attention. Don’t be a bully leader pushing and shoving your way in. Don’t use people as a means to your own ego-driven end. Everyone does that. “Do you want to be great? Great! Serve God by serving people. In the earth part of your life, the servant’s towel precedes the king’s throne. Godless leaders and bully manipulators have one thing on their mind: reign now and serve later. God wants you to serve now, reign later. Watch your E.G.O. Don’t ‘Edge God Out,’ but ‘Exalt God Only.’ How? Lead people by serving people.” In real leadership, the game of thrones is won by servant leaders, leading with a towel. The more you empower people, the more power you gain.

In one of the most wide-open baseball championship races in years, local high school teams have set themselves up for a run at the playoffs.

Local softball teams prepare for section play BY DARRELL JACKSON

Glendale Star Staff Writer
As the high school softball season hits its mid-season break, several teams have set themselves up for a playoff push. Sectional play begins after spring break. Cactus is one of the top teams in the state as of spring break, having won 14 games. This is the second most in all of softball. Peoria has surprised with 13 wins, while Liberty won five of 10 games. Here is a breakdown of each division at the break.
tesy Cactus High School)
6A - Desert Valley section
Liberty sits at 5-5, while Mountain Ridge lost four of six games. Both sit in the middle of the Desert Valley section, where Pinnacle and Sandra Day O’Connor lead with six wins. Mountain Ridge has been led by Tiffany Williams – who ranks seventh in Arizona, with a 2.14 ERA – and Paige Calahan, who has a 3.71 ERA. Offensively, Megan Lake leads the team with a .615 batting average. Over at the Mountain Lions, Williams leads with six RBIs.
5A - Northwest section
In the tightest early section in the area, Sunrise Mountain is undefeated at 7-0, while Centennial has five wins and Ironwood, Kellis and Sunnyslope each have four. Sunrise Mountain’s Mustangs feature
a young team with only three seniors on the roster. Led by senior Dallis Mitchell and junior Sydney Bickel, the team has been a bit of an early surprise, although with head coach Jody Pruitt in her 20th season, and only one losing record, Sunrise Mountain is always a challenger. Centennial has been led by Dren Meginnis and Hailey Galvez, who have each driven in 11 runs. Meginnis leads the section with a .714 batting average and hit four home runs to lead the Coyotes. Sydnie Sahhar has been strong on the mound with a 0.00 REA and Mariah Lopez has two wins. Kellis, which has won 14 games the previous three years combined, equaled last season’s win total (four) and has been one of the top surprises on the young season. Leah Calderon (.579 average), Sara O’Connor (.556) and Suzie Normandin (.545) have been leading a young Cougars team that is building for the future under new head coach Todd Pyne. “We have been teaching them how to play and they have been picking everything up from the coaching staff,” Pyne said. “The girls are communicating better each week, and that has helped a lot.” Pyne has opened the team Kellis sophomore Sydney Roe has led the Cougars’ rebirth, leading them to equaling their win total from last season during the preseason.

up and it shows, as O’Connor (12 stolen bases), Calderon (11), Lexy Macias (seven) and Mary Pearce (six) are the leaders in this category of the section. Jisselle Navejas, Nevaeh Ramos and Desarae Leyba each have four, ranking among leaders in the section. Sydney Roe has been strong on the mound, with three wins, 24 strikeouts and a 2.00 ERA to lead the Cougars. Ironwood, with four wins, has been led by Caitlyn Redwood, who has a .615 batting average, 12 runs and five stolen bases. Nancy Velez has two wins and Calianna Briner and Sarah Norton are also strong on the mound.

4A
Locally, 4A starts and ends with Cactus, which has been one of the most dominant softball teams in the state, with 14 wins in the team’s first 16 games. Offensively, the Cobras have been dominating outscoring their opponents 182-36, with their two losses coming to 6A Hamilton and national powerhouse Long Beach (California) Millikan. Offensively, Kaytlin Leyvas (.581 average, 28 RBIs, three home runs), Alynah Torres (.660, 27 RBIs, nine HRs), McKenna Feringa (.558, 26 RBIs, three HRs) and Hannah DiFabio (.463, 20 RBIs, six doubles) all rank among the state leaders in hitting. Feringa has also been dominating on the mound, winning eight games. She has a 1.87 ERA and struck out 41, walking only 14 for the Cobras. Cactus is a heavy favorite to win the 4A state title. Peoria has been a surprise, with 13 wins before section play. The team could put on a challenge for a playoff spot. Sydney Castillo has 15 stolen bases. Andraya Romero ranks eighth in the state, with a 1.01 ERA, and ranks second with 122 strikeouts.

Cirque du Soleil’s ‘Amaluna’ takes over Arizona BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer
Now through April 14, Cirque du Soleil is telling the love story of “Amaluna” to Arizonans. The artists, crew and staff have been preparing for weeks to wow those in attendance. “We come into town and it takes eight days to set up everything from the tent, stage and backstage,” Audience Magnets President Laura Schairer said. “It is five days to set up and then the artists have two to three days to train.” The show is presented in the parking lot of State Farm Stadium. But the Big Top is where the action happens. The 42-foot circular stage accommodates more than 2,600 spectators. A wheels-within-wheels design allows it to rotate so everyone in the audience can see each performance from every angle. The movement is also used to create or close distances and simulate the passage of time. “The tent’s color helps portray the mood of the show,” Schairer said. “The Big Top makes it a more intimate show that allows the audience to get fully invested in the show.” Above the stage hangs the carousel, a 25-foot ring that rotates 360 degrees. It includes three acrobatic winches that aerial acrobats can use simultaneously. “Amaluna” is the story of a mysterious island governed by goddesses Queen Prospera, who directs a coming-of-age

ceremony for her daughter, Miranda. Prospera uses her power to cause a storm that washes a group of men to the shores of Amaluna. Among the men is Romeo, who is to become a suitor to Miranda. The two must overcome a series of trials if they are to be together. “It is about the love of a mother and daughter and friendship that you will leave with a warm feeling,” Schairer said. “I have seen this show so many times and it gets better and better every time I see it.” “Amaluna’s” cast is comprised of 48 performers, the majority of them
female, and the production is able to show off its female mythology in full glory. It is the first all-female band of any Cirque du Soleil production. The group plays live music that accompanies the nearly two-hour show each night, with two bands alongside the stage leading the artists. Their voices project across the Big Top, and electric guitars synchronize the artists’ high-risk, gravity-defying acrobatics. The goal for the show is for all artists to work in unity to deliver a compelling and memorable story with fascinating feats of human contortion and extreme athleticism.
“This show started in 2011 and has toured from Montreal, Columbia and all parts of North America,” Schairer said. “Fans have been amazed by the show and the reaction has been incredible for the artists.” The production uses 85 shipping containers to transport nearly 2,000 tons of equipment when moving from city to city. Everything that is contained under the Big Top and the other tents forms the traveling circus. A total of 115 people, including all of the artists, are part of the “Amaluna” company. The group contains artists from 17 different nationalities, with a total of 26 including the crew and all traveling support staff. Thirteen languages are spoken among the cast and crew, Schairer said. Schairer said anyone from families to friends and loved ones will enjoy the show. “You have never seen anything like this show, and you can escape real life for two hours and you will feel something after the show,” Schairer said. “I have seen it so many times, and it just keeps getting better and better every time I see it.” Tickets can be purchased online are available via cirquedusoleil.com/ amaluna, or in person at the Cirque du Soleil box office, located in front of the Big Top’s entrance tent.

Students praise Honeywell Leadership Academy BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer
Five local students, among many others from around the world, were recently selected to attend the annual Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy (HLCA) at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center (USSRC) in Huntsville, Alabama. Ritika Ravindran of Mountain Ridge, Zain Syed and Ethan van der Zweep of Liberty, Lewis Alejandro of Cactus and Amber Chow of Peoria BASIS attended the two-week program from February 23 through March 8. When applying for the camp, students had to verify their grades, as well as get a letter of recommendation from their counselors. They also had to present a resume showcasing volunteer activities. “It was a formal application which included submitting high school transcripts as well as three essays,” Syed said. “I was encouraged to apply and was selected.” More than 325 students from 35 countries and 25 states and territories

were selected for the camp this year. “I learned about the camp through my dad’s employment at Honeywell and decided to apply,” Ravindran said. For almost 10 years, HLCA has inspired students between Mountain Ridge student the ages of 16 and 18 to pursue Ritika Ravindran performs careers in science, technology, in a space suit during space camp in Alabama. engineering and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on activities, technology- and science-oriented workshops, lectures and team exercises. Honeywell developed the academy in conjunction with the USSRC to address education needs around the world. The academy introduces students to the legacy of the American Space Program, where they concentrate on addressing current issues within the science and technology community. Students had different ideas on what they expected when they left for the camp. “I thought it was going to be like the summer space camp that I attended as a child at the Challenger Space Center in Peoria, Arizona,” Ravindran said. “I expected a lot of
space-related activities and lectures.” Syed thought “it was going to mostly be history of the museum and some interactive workshops.” He added, “It exceeded my expectations.” Students got the opportunity to meet NASA scientists, engineers and former astronauts. “We were able to interact with the scientists and engineers pretty closely, and we were able to ask anything, ranging from technical questions to advice for the future,” Syed said. Numerous retired and current NASA employees spoke to the students about their experiences. “One of them was Robert ‘Hoot’ Gibson, an astronaut who had been on five shuttle missions. They had interesting and engaging presentations regarding their careers and the future of NASA,” Ravindran said. “These lectures were embedded with leadership lessons that helped the HLCA participants become better leaders. After their presentations, we had opportunities to ask them questions.” Students also designed, built and tested their own rockets along with the chance to develop computer programs to calculate their rockets’ altitude and velocity. Students were also given the opportunity to participate in training
simulations, such as shuttle missions and a moon walk. “I enjoyed the mock space mission that we did the most,” Ravindran said. “I was one of the flight engineers, so I had to wear an entire space suit (icepacks, jacket, space boots, helmet, gloves and communication set) and model building something in space. I sat in this chair that simulated how it felt being in space while building a house-like structure with a partner.” He added, “I had to communicate with mission command and follow exact instructions to make my mission successful. I enjoyed this activity because it was very engaging, tested my team skills and gave me a unique experience.” Syed said he also enjoyed the handson projects, though he was focused on other areas. “Putting together and programming the Raspberry Pi was my favorite. It exposed me to a side of engineering I had not seen before,” Syed said. “I plan to major in engineering, and the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy reinforced my goals.” Ravindran added that the academy also reinforced his ideas of what he wants to do when he gets to college. “I was planning to major in a predominant STEM field, and the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy assured my path in science. I am now surer than ever that my future is STEM,” Ravindran said. While the students all said they enjoyed the hands-on work and projects, they said it was more than just about the STEM projects. “The relationships I built with so many different people from all over the world was the most I got,” Syed said. Both Syed and Ravindran said they would consider applying again. “If I could attend the camp with the same people in my group, I would love to,” Ravindran said. “I actually wished the camp had lasted longer than it did (10 days instead of five). This camp was one of the most fun weeks of my life and enlightened me on the lives of people in other parts of the world.”

Arizona Gives Day set for April BY STEVE CARR Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Talk to anyone involved with a nonprofit organization and it doesn’t take long to feel their passion. What inspires their engagement in a purpose is as diverse as the causes they champion. Their zeal to make a difference is unquestionable. The path to success, though, may not always be a straight line when you factor in staffing needs, recruiting volunteers and, perhaps most importantly, building and funding a budget. That last consideration is often the most difficult, particularly for smaller nonprofits without both the bandwidth and brand awareness to reach broader donor audiences. Arizona Gives Day helps level that playing field for organizations like Peoria’s AZK9 Rescue and Arizona Safe
Baby Haven Foundation in Glendale. The 24-hour online fundraising event, presented by FirstBank and hosted by the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and the Arizona Grantmakers Forum, is Tuesday, April 2. “Our goal is to provide critically important donations that enable Arizona nonprofits of every size to continue the good work they do in communities across the state,” Alliance for Arizona Nonprofits Chief Executive Officer Kristen Merrifield said. “For the smaller nonprofits, Arizona Gives Day puts them on the same playing field with the large charities that may have more exposure or a larger donor base.” Both AZK9 Rescue and Arizona Safe Baby Haven Foundation are limited-budget volunteer-driven nonprofits that look to Arizona Gives Day to generate new, unexpected funding and

awareness to potential donors “who may not know about us,” AZK9 Rescue Founder Aaron Bolduck said. “We don’t have an actual facility like some of the bigger animal rescue organizations. We’re based out of houses with an individual foster system.” Merrifield said, “Giving to organizations that are specifically focused on their communities is like hyper-investing in those communities and the issues that are important to you in your city and town. And, they’re not having to expend as many resources because we are doing much of that on their behalf.” AZK9 Rescue operates in and around Peoria. While Arizona Safe Baby Haven Foundation is headquartered in Glendale, its reach extends across the state. “Arizona Gives Day gives us an opportunity to raise awareness for our cause and what our foundation does and the safe haven baby model, and to expand our outreach for the different campaigns we do around the state,” Executive Director Damien Johnson said. “Our organization is 100-percent volunteer run so every dollar that comes in goes right back into funding the different programs we run.” More than 715 organizations across the state have registered and been vetted for Arizona Gives Day this year. Donations are made through AzGives. org’s secure platform. For interested donors, AzGives.org also is available for year-round giving and offers an advanced search filter to find nonprofits by specific criteria, area of focus and which donations may qualify as an Arizona tax credit.

NAOMI AND ELLA Donors also can create an account to pre-schedule donations or can check out as a guest, set up recurring donations, and make changes to their giving throughout the year. “We want to make giving as easy as possible, and donors have shared they like having a place that has a whole list of nonprofits to choose from,” Merrifield said.

Hello, readers! Welcome back to Business Briefcase. It’s time to get Briefed! As can be expected in the column, we touch upon interesting new businesses, construction and developments; as well as chamber-produced events and other similar ones. And this week, in particular, has quite the array of happenings. Our agenda this time will check off incoming businesses, those that have already been open for a couple months, and some more recurring networking-appropriate events for your business needs. But you’ll find out in a moment, so here’s the news! First, Poke Maki is coming. What’s that? Thought it already was here? Well, that is true. But now, the fresh poke-, suhi- and rice bowl-oriented food truck is upgrading its arsenal to a full restaurant. Though no official grand opening date is set, and representatives for the company have not yet returned The Glendale Star’s requests for comment, it seems an opening may be sooner rather than later, if its Facebook page is anything to go by. According to its website, choices range from the simple – poke bowls and fresh hand rolls – to the more unique – Takis Fuego and Flaming Cheetos sushi burritos. Keep an eye out to try these and more. Applications for employment are available online, too. Poke Maki will be at 6070 W. Bell Road, Suite A-104. For more information, visit pokemaki.com or find it on Facebook @pokemakiaz. Another new business: Costa Vida. Sure, this isn’t exactly breaking news, but the fresh Mexican grill officially launched in Glendale earlier this year – and we haven’t discussed it yet. Burritos, enchiladas, tacos, nachos, quesadillas, Baja bowls, salads, desserts and even options for kids – Costa Vida has it all. If you have yet to give this popular spot a try, it’s at 7280 W. Bell Road, Suite 100, on the north side of Bell Road, east of 73rd Avenue. For more information, visit costavida.com or find it on Facebook @costavidaglendale. Next, I have a quick one. Hernandez Upholstery is open at 6317 W. Glendale Avenue. There’s not much to say, other than this shop – which
opened earlier this year – specializes in upholstery for furniture, automobiles and boats. For more information, stop by or call 602-829-8846. Moving along, I can’t neglect to mention another Downtown Glendale Merchant Meeting. This one will be from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 9, at Off the Cuff, 5817 W. Glendale Avenue, beside Cuff restaurant and north of Grand Avenue. The first half hour is dedicated to check-in, light refreshments and networking, while the meeting itself kicks off at 8 a.m. This time, the focus is a discussion on “The Good, the Bad and the Opportunities from the Chocolate Affaire Signature Event” by the Signature Event Advisory Group. The event is targeted at business owners and stakeholders in the downtown community. Registration is due by noon Monday, April 8, for participation in a drawing. The previous giveaway was a three-month button ad in the Experience Downtown Glendale e-newsletter and a $100 Southwest Airlines voucher. To be entered for door prizes, be sure to bring business cards; they’re good for networking, too. If you have a business, you can even contribute promotional materials to the door prize raffle. Let’s discuss one more, for good measure. Lunch and Learn from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, will focus on the differences between and strengths of search engine marketing (SEM) and search engine optimization (SEO). The first half hour is dedicated to registration, with the program commencing at noon. Pre-registration is required, as space is limited. A free monthly class, Lunch and Learn is held in collaboration between the Glendale Chamber of Commerce and Thryv. This event will meet in the chamber’s BNC National Bank Conference Room, 5800 W. Glenn Drive, Suite 275. For more information, contact Bre Pope at 623-937-4754 or bpope@glendaleazchamber.org. That’s all the briefs for this week. Thanks for reading!
