Council assistant discussions turn heated BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

With tentative approval of the fiscal year 2019-20 budget on the horizon, discussions over adding a council assistant for each councilmember turned contentious during an April 30 workshop. Currently, city council has three assistants, each of whom assists two councilmembers. Yucca District Councilwoman Joyce Clark, however, proposed that each councilmember receive his or her own assistant. Clark suggested the addition of two council assistant positions to the budget. Barrel District Councilman Bart Turner agreed. “I would say council office does not operate efficiently under the current three-to-

one (assistants to councilmembers) model, and I believe this will go a long way to solving issues in the council office,” said Clark, who called the proposal “long overdue.” But the discussion turned contentious when councilmembers who said they do not need a fulltime assistant — Councilmembers Ian Hugh and Lauren Tolmachoff — requested the funds that would be required for such a proposal be used within their districts instead. The cost to add one council assistant position and reclassify an executive assistant to council assistant would amount to $114,945, according to Vicki Rios, director of the budget and finance department. “One fully funded council assistant is

around $92,000 (salary and benefits), and if half that budget comes from my budget and half from Councilmember Hugh’s, I believe we should be able to use that other half within our districts,” Tolmachoff said. But Clark argued, “Four of us are not well served by the present system, and apparently two of you are. We are asking for a mechanism for each of the four who have suffered under the current system.” Tolmachoff and Hugh argued it was not about the extra money, but if they do not use the entire budget of a system they should be allowed to improve their district for their constituents. “I don’t consider it a reward, but what kind of councilmember would I be if I allowed another councilmember’s district to SEE COUNCIL PAGE 3

The U.S. Air Force reported it found the water in wells and groundwater at Luke Air Force Base tested positive for toxic chemicals. The U.S. Air Force report covers Luke AFB and the Gila Bend Air Force Auxiliary Field. Testing was conducted to determine if two chemicals — perﬂuorooctane sulfonate and perﬂuorooctanoic acid — from a foam firefighting agent were evident. The foam had an usually high concentration of the two chemicals. The base firefighters began using the foams to SEE WATER PAGE 2

fight fires in 1972 and continued to use it until 2013 in fires ranging from F-15s to vehicle fires on base. The drinking water was deemed safe at both locations, but more analyses in area surrounding Luke AFB is pending. Testing continues. The report does not say if the chemicals made their way into public or private water wells off base. Residents are concerned. “Shouldn’t we have been told our water may be bad for us?” asked Johnathan Gomez, who lives near the base. “I just want to know if my kids are going to get sick from our water and if it is harmful. I still can’t believe we were not told about this.” Perﬂuorooctane sulfonate and perﬂuorooctanoic acid were also used in household products, including water-repellent fabrics, nonstick pans and some paints. The firefighting foam the Air Force used is highly effective. Luke AFB representatives said they have requested permission, and will begin testing private wells in Glendale, Goodyear and unincorporated areas within the 1-mile radius of the base. If they find contamination, they would extend the radius search of the water.

May 9, 2019 Officials have said any well owners who want to test their water supply independently are asked to contact Maricopa County for assistance. Even with the report of contamination, city officials in surrounding areas — including Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Glendale and Avondale — have told residents the water is safe.

I just want to know if my kids are going to get sick from our water and if it is harmful. - Johnathan Gomez Liberty Utilities, who supplies the Valley’s water, said it tests the water constantly for any chemicals and filters out high amounts of contaminants that are found. In a statement, Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said the city has “full confidence that Luke officials will conduct a thorough analysis and the city will support the efforts. The safety of our residents is the cities No. 1 priority.”

have a larger budget than mine?” Tolmachoff asked. “If this is going to happen, it needs to be a sustainable budget that is an equal budget for every district and you can decide if you need a fulltime assistant. But if not then I believe the money should be usable for each district. I work at home and on the weekends, and I would not be in favor of any district having a larger budget than mine for staffing.” Despite initially being asked to recuse himself from the subject, Mayor Jerry Weiers eventually voiced his favorability that the assistants be added only if other councilmembers could use the extra funds in their districts. “If you have a councilmember who chooses not to use the assistants and share one, then they should get the difference in funds,” Weiers said. “If Clark and Turner wanted their own assistant and Tolmachoff and Hugh don’t, I think each should get the additional funds to their district budget to use at the discretion.” Turner, who voiced full support of adding the other assistants, argued that the city charter does not allow for money to be moved from one area to another, however. “In our charter, we have a difference between council funds and staffing funds and we as councilmembers do not get to choose our (assistants),” Turner said. “It doesn’t work for two councilmembers, and we don’t have a choice who we are paired with and who our assistants are and that sort of thing.” For the time being, Rios said, the position is included in the budget at a

placeholder. The funds, Rios said, are in the fiscal year budget from contingency savings. “Earlier in the meeting they reduced funds to firefighters, and as part of that nearly $350,000 were put back into contingency,” Rios said. Discussions on the potential assistant positions will return to council Tuesday, May 14.

Chamber eliminates downtown development director BY DARRELL JACKSON

We are a ‘get-it-done’ chamber, and that is what we will continue to focus on for the community.

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Just two years after hiring a downtown development director, the Glendale Chamber of Commerce has begun making changes to its staff in an effort to improve operations. Katy Engels had been the chamber’s downtown development director since the position’s creation. “The position was eliminated as part of the reorganization and, like all good organizations, there are times we must realign the operations to achieve the goals,” Chamber President and CEO Robert Heidt explained. Glendale City Council voted unanimously in 2017 to approve a fiveyear contract for $610,510 to create a new downtown manager position that would fall under the supervision of the Glendale Chamber of Commerce in a public-private partnership. Prior to Engels joining the Glendale Chamber of Commerce in August 2017, she had been executive director of the Waterford, Wisconsin, Chamber of Commerce. During her time with Glendale, Engels set up meetings with

downtown merchants who expressed their concerns and hopes for the city to improve downtown Glendale. Despite having been focused on improving the downtown area, Engels was never able to get merchants on the same page when it came to possible improvements, an example being changing special events. When city officials removed three weekends from Glendale Glitters last year, merchants complained. And some credit Engels with getting one of those weekends reinstated. Although Heidt said the city and chamber are still focused on improving the downtown area, reorganization was deemed necessary to improving relations. “(Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps) has not wavered from his con-

tinued commitment to downtown,” Heidt said. “In fact, he is working with our Strategic Leadership Advisory Group on what the future holds. And, we have recently secured a professional services agreement to provide support for downtown. Nothing changes. Our commitment to downtown remains intact and stronger than ever.” Downtown aside, Heidt added that the city and chamber are focused on the entire city when it comes to improving businesses. “We have great concern for the entire city and its success and work on business endeavors throughout,” Heidt said. “However, given our contract for services with the city of Glendale, we will continue to provide services to the downtown business community as we have done since the inception of the agreement.” He added that the chamber is focused on the reorganization to provide great service and ensure improved chamber services are provided.

While concern has been expressed by many to the change, Heidt ensures the organization will continue to improve. “For anyone who views this as a negative or the latest water cooler gossip, it’s unfortunate … If you have an interest in a business endeavor, an issue we can collaborate on to improve Glendale, I’m all ears. But if someone is looking to ‘gossip,’ we have much more important work to do, which is evident by our past five-plus years of solid performance,” Heidt said. “We are a ‘get-it-done’ chamber, and that is what we will continue to focus on for the community.”

City to accept input on former golf course BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

City officials have scheduled the first of multiple public meetings on the transition of the property that once held Glen Lakes Golf Course. The course, which closed in March, is expected to be sold for future use including possible new homes, parks and other public land uses. The first public meeting will be at 6 p.m. Monday, May 13, inside the Glendale American Elementary School cafeteria, 8530 N. 55th Avenue. City staff is seeking the public’s input on what types of amenities are desired, such as benches, shade features and playground equipment. Regardless of land use, it would be

required to have approximately 20% designated for open land or parks. Members of SaveGlenLakes, a group of nearby citizens who tried for years to save the course, have been searching for a buyer who will keep the property a golf course. But the city has said there have been zero offers for the course as is. Previous course operator Golf Maintenance Solutions will continue to maintain the grass and trees until July. Residents are welcome to attend the meeting and can submit ideas and questions to glenlakesideas@glendaleaz.com. The meeting will also be broadcast live on the city’s Facebook page.

Care1st launches hep C program BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

Arizona ranks among the lower half of states when it comes to hepatitis C. Approximately 90,000 individuals are living with hepatitis C in Arizona, making it one of the state’s most commonly reported infectious diseases. So, Care1st Health Plan Arizona signed an agreement with Maricopa Integrated Health System (MIHS) to launch the Hepatitis C Center of Excellence program, which will treat Medicaid members in Maricopa County. Through the partnership, Care1st Health Plan Arizona will collaborate with MIHS hepatologists at Maricopa Medical Center to evaluate and treat 100 members by administering antiviral medication targeted at the hepatitis C virus. The medication, which is taken daily for approximately 12 weeks, is covered by Care1st Health Plan Arizona and is available to Medicaid members at no cost. “Care1st Health Plan Arizona started this program to address two complementary issues: the prevalence of hepatitis C in Arizona, particularly among vulnerable populations, and the shortcomings of the existing fee-for-service model in treating this population,” Chief Medical Officer Dr. Satya Sarma said. “That’s why Care1st Health Plan Arizona’s bundled payment model used as part of our Hepatitis C Center of Excellence is exciting, because it creates an opportunity for providers that doesn’t exist in fee-for-service models. Instead of focusing on the volume of revenue-generating services they render, providers can innovate their clinical workﬂow, ﬂexing to the needs of their patient. “At the same time, the provider is accountable for delivering quality outcomes for their patients, because the full bundled payment is dependent on achieving a cure as demonstrated by eradication of the virus.” Participating members will also work with MIHS navigators and community health workers to ensure program compliance and to help connect them to needed social and human services such as food, housing, transportation and more. Under the value-based contract, participating MIHS providers receive bundled payments to help drive quality health outcomes. Bundled payments are

identified as one of the more advanced levels of compensation in value-based contract payment structures under the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Learning Action Network (LAN). These payments help contain costs and promote better health outcomes while allowing for innovation at the clinical practice level. “There is now a cure for hepatitis C; however, it is an expensive treatment, and the cost of treatment failure is high. Creating efficiencies in provider workﬂow, so as to address all elements impacting adherence to treatment, is important,” Sarma said. “Social determinants of health such as food, housing and transportation, which can impact a patient’s ability to adhere to treatment, are not routinely addressed in provider settings today. Therefore, we needed a payment model that allows physicians ﬂexibility in how they treat patients while driving efficiency.” The partnership between Care1st Health Plan and MISH came from physicians who discussed the issues and gave clinical expertise to input their ideas for the plan. “This medication will be taken daily for approximately 8-12 weeks, and there is follow-up after the medication course is completed to ensure the medication has been taken and that the treatment was successful,” Sarma said. “The patients will continue to be followed at our Hepatitis C Center of Excellence, and we expect to evaluate our results at the end of the one-year program period in order to assess whether to continue and/or expand the program.” By providing services like food, housing and transportation, Care1st and MIHS are assisting Medicaid members in Maricopa County to have a better chance of complying with and benefiting from their treatment. “Overall, our goal is to offer our members living with hepatitis C in Arizona access to higher quality care all while finding greater efficiencies in the system,” Sarma said. “By offering a holistic approach that addresses social and economic barriers to care and challenges with medication adherence, all while providing an innovative payment model that encourages and incentivizes physicians, we hope to help our members achieve better health outcomes and overall wellbeing.”

Sanderson Ford tackles impaired driving BY ANDREA ESTRADA

Glendale Star Staff Writer

In an effort to prevent traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities involving drivers under the inﬂuence of alcohol and/or drugs, Sanderson Ford held a first-of-its-kind impaired-driving simulation test run in late April, where attendees — alongside a driving instructor — navigated through a safety driving course wearing Ford Motor Company’s “Impaired Driving Suit.” The suit — equipped with earmuffs that impair hearing; vision impairment glasses; neck, elbow and knee bandages that slow movement; wrist and ankle weights that affect balance; and a bracelet-like device that vibrates — mimics the effects alcohol and/or drugs may have on a driver. Jenny Kester, a spokeswoman for Sanderson Ford, said the purpose of the suit — which is part of Ford Motor Company’s Ford Driving Skills for Life, a program that provides newly-licensed teens with hands-on and webbased safe-driving curriculum — is to draw attention to the consequences of driving under the inﬂuence. “The main goal is to provide awareness to the community about the dan-

gers of drunk driving and just being impaired while driving,” Kester said. The magnitude of those dangers are reﬂected through statistics. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, 29%, or 10,874, of the 37,133 fatal motor vehicle crashes in 2017 were alcohol-impaired driving fatalities. “Over 10,000 a year died in drunk driving, and 1,200 of those were children. It’s just awful for anyone to have to deal with that,” Kester said. And Kester added it’s especially important to raise awareness among the youth this time of the year. “There’s a lot of drivers that are coming out from graduation. It’s that time of the year. Obviously, foremost, we want to prevent underage people from driving — but just to let them know, if they do find themselves in a situation, how dangerous it is.” The suit offers drivers a first-hand perspective to impaired driving, Kester said. “It’s one thing to tell somebody how dangerous drunk driving is, but if they get to experience it in a safe environment then maybe it can prevent people from doing it.”

School evacuated after students fall ill from odor BY DARRELL JACKSON

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Sierra Verde Elementary School was evacuated May 1 after a number of students and staff became dizzy from inhaling an unusual odor. Fire officials were called to the school at around 10 a.m. after 13 students and a teacher smelled an unknown odor while in a classroom, according to Glendale Fire Department spokeswoman Ashley Losch. The people said they felt “dizzy and sick.” Two buildings at the school were evacuated for precautionary measures and fire officials called in multiple hazardous materials teams to search and test the building to assess the odors. Losch said, “All of the students who were affected have parents there, and any parents who have not been notified, their children or kid is not affected.”

The affected students and teacher were treated by emergency personnel at the scene and released. The Deer Valley Unified School District and Sierra Verde School officials released a statement: “This morning, a strange smell was discovered in a classroom of the 500 building at Sierra Verde School. In addition, a couple of students felt lightheaded. Custodial staff on campus do not smell anything unusual in the room; however, to ensure safety of the students we have evacuated the 500 and 600 buildings and have contacted the hazardous materials unit to investigate. “In addition, we have called paramedics to help assist in assessing the students.” The cause of the odor is still being investigated by officials.

Two men charged for unsanctioned MMA events BY DARRELL JACKSON

The Arizona Department of Gaming (ADG) announced April 29 that two men have been charged with running unsanctioned combat sporting events within city limits last year. Roland Sarria and Todd Whitmoyer face four class-2 misdemeanors after they “failed to procure a license and failing to provide a physician for two unsanctioned events,” according to ADG officials. The incidents allegedly occurred on September 15 in Phoenix and September 29 in Glendale. The Arizona Boxing and Mixed Martial Arts Commission sanctions amateur and professional MMA, professional boxing and kickboxing matches that are within Arizona. A spokesman for ADG said any event they do not sanction is considered an unsanctioned event. “It is our duty to protect the integrity of these sports, events, the unarmed combatants and the public,” ADG Director Ted Vogt said. “We do this by ensuring that individuals engaged in unsanctioned unarmed combat events are held accountable in a court of law.” As part of the Arizona Boxing and MMA Commission’s regulations, MMA fighters in Arizona are required to take tests for hepatitis B and C as well as HIV before they can compete. They must also undergo a physical examination by a physician before a fight to ensure they can still compete. A vision test is required, and an ambulance and a physician are required to be at all fights. “None of these precautions were being taken,” said Francisco Meneses Jr.,

executive director of the Arizona Boxing and MMA Commission. “Health and safety are important to the integrity of this department.” Sarria and Whitmoyer were licensed by the Arizona Boxing and MMA Commission in the past, so Meneses said they should have been “well aware of the regulations.” Sarria was a licensed promoter until 2015 and organized events. Whitmoyer was licensed as a matchmaker by the commission, and paired opponents and ensured fair fights, according to Meneses. Sarria, who is considered the “Godfather” of Arizona MMA, faces four class 2 misdemeanor charges — two for failure to procure a license and two for failure to provide a physician at those two MMA events. Whitmoyer is also accused of being involved with unsanctioned events and is facing the same chargers. “Unarmed combat sports are highly regulated competitions that require careful oversight to ensure the safety of the combatants and the spectating public, as well as a fair competition and impartial result,” Meneses said. If Sarria and Whitmoyer are convicted, they could face a $750 fine and four months of jail time for each charge.

Spartan Stadion returns to State Farm Stadium BY DARRELL JACKSON Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Spartan Stadion series will make its second visit to Arizona with the Spartan Race, which will be held at State Farm Stadium Saturday, June 15. Last year, more than 5,000 racers participated in the first-year event for Arizona. The military-style obstacle race pushes the bodies and minds of competitors to the limit across miles of unforgiving terrain while they conquer signature obstacles such as the spear throw, rope climb, bucket brigade, multi-rig and barbed-wire crawl. Also offered are Spartan Kids races for children ages 4 to 14. “Spartan Stadion events turn the grounds of some of the world’s most beloved sports arenas into fun, approachable obstacle courses that cover 3-mile distances with 20 obstacles,” said Craig Drummond, director of the race. “Created for participants of all fitness levels, Stadion events provide Spartan newcomers and sports fans an opportunity to experience what obstacle course racing (OCR) is all about while also offering a challenging course for returning racers that provide unprecedented access to the beloved venues.” The event pays homage to a massive sprint race held at the first Olympics that tested speed, strength and willpower. And although the majority of the course is inside the air-conditioned stadium, race organizers wanted to offer a short stint outside to let competitors get “hit in the face with the heat.” Drummond added, “We aim to provide racers with a way to step outside of their comfort zones and challenge themselves while having and incredible experience they couldn’t get anywhere else. Spartan’s ultimate goal is to rip 100 million people off the couch and get them active, and by signing up for a race people have reason to eat well and train — so we want the events to be a catalyst for fitness.” Drummond said the race is part sporting event and part pushing people to the maximum athletic capacity. “Spartan events focus on sport, athleticism and transformation, and are designed to push people out of their comfort zones, to show them that the human body is capable of accomplishing incredible things that they may

never have thought possible,” Drummond said. “With that in mind, the course is designed for people of all types. For those who want to compete, we have an elite heat in the morning, with prize money and awards on the line, along with competitive age group categories. However, the majority of racers are participating in open categories — where they can take their time, race as part of a team of friends or coworkers and see what they are made of. About 80% of racers will participate as part of a team.” The event has competitive age groups of 18-34, 35-38 and 39 and older who compete for bragging rights. The elite group uses a ranking system for athletes who compete around the country and battle for prize money. Entering its ninth year, the series has grown from approximately 700 participants the first year to over 1 million annual participants. “The participants compete in more than 250 events across more than 42 countries around the world, more than 6 million participants to date. Stadion is one of many race events that was created after our original concept and was designed as an introduction to the sport,” Drummond said. “Our first Stadion race was first held at Boston’s Fenway Park in 2012, and has since expanded across the country and around the world in Asia, Europe and the Middle East.” This year Drummond and his colleagues are focused on attracting more competitors.

“We would love to surpass last year’s numbers and are on track to do so,” Drummond said. “Every racer that signs up brings us closer to our goal of reaching 100 million competitors. We’re just getting started with Stadion — we’ll continue to bring the event to

the most beloved ballparks and stadiums in the country as well as seek out new venues overseas.” For more information, go to spartan. com.

Attack on Ducey’s Easter message was tiresome BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

The first time I ever heard the phrase “go to the mattresses” was in the Mafia masterpiece “The Godfather.” Vito Corleone is near death in a hospital bed, shot down by a rival Mob family. The Don’s hotheaded oldest boy, Sonny, demands revenge. Tom Hagen, the consigliere, urges caution, but Sonny will have none of it. He wants the man who ordered the hit on his father executed —end of story. “If not, it’s all-out war,” Sonny screams. “We go to the mattresses.” The phrase refers to the Mob stocking safe houses with mattresses back in the day, so street soldiers could hunker down before battle. It’s a great descriptor, even more so today. In 21st century America, we’re determined to go to the mattresses over every last slight.

For example, a group called the Secular Coalition for Arizona went to the mattresses the other day against Gov. Doug Ducey. Ducey’s sin? He posted an Easter greeting on his official governor’s Facebook page. Ducey’s post, which went up on Easter Sunday, included the phrase “He is risen!” — a reference to Jesus. The governor wished one and all “a happy and blessed Easter.” The accompanying graphic displayed a cross and cited John 11:25, a passage which reads: “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though may he die, he shall live.’”

As cremation has become more popular in recent years, some providers have learned to cut corners. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a surge of national scandals that has put doubt in the minds of families that choose cremation.

“We believe in our cremation process so much, that exclusively offer the Cremation Confidence™ Guarantee.”

Dianne Post, a lawyer for the Secular Coalition, fired off a three-page screed to Ducey on the subject, including a lecture on the U.S. and Arizona Constitutions, references to multiple Supreme Court rulings, and a demand for action — to be explained in writing. As Post put it: “On behalf of citizens and taxpayers, we urge you to remove the effusive Easter greeting that is much too tied to religion from the Facebook page and to desist in the future from expressing such religious sentiment on government property or time. The government must respect the rights of conscience of all citizens, including those who in good conscience reject belief in a god.” Ducey’s reponse? A firm “screw you” via Facebook. “We won’t be removing this post. Ever,” the governor wrote. “Nor will we be removing our posts for Christmas, Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, Palm Sunday, Passover or any other religious holiday.” I’m going to side with Ducey here, despite the fact the most religious I get in any given year is a secular Christmas celebration that involves a few gifts, some carols sung by Crosby and Sinatra and studiously avoiding all beverages described as “nog.”

My rationale has nothing to do with a close reading of the First Amendment or me being okay with blurring the lines between church and state. I’m with Ducey because this is a dumb fight — a skirmish not worth going to the mattresses over. The governor is Catholic. He’s never hidden it; his religion quite clearly informs his politics. However, Ducey has never attempted to proselytize on behalf of the church. Nor has he tried to turn his office into a recruitment arm for Christianity. Doing so would clearly would violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment — and they’d be worth a fight. I read Ducey’s Easter greeting as the Governor being polite as opposed to political, effervescent as opposed to fervent. By contrast, Post read it as a hostile act, one that called for the lawyer’s equivalent of a declaration of war. As someone who’s watched “The Godfather” at least 20 times, I keep recalling how Sonny’s foolish insistence on going to the mattresses worked out for Don Vito’s eldest boy. Sonny, as another old saying goes, ended up being dead right. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.

Where education stands one year after teachers took a stand BY JUDY SCHWIEBERT

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

As a mom who’s deeply grateful to the many dedicated Arizona teachers who helped my own sons succeed from kindergarten to college, I’m dismayed to see the blatant disregard that too many of our legislators seem to hold for our educators and public schools today. A full year after #RedforEd, the problems that took our teachers to the streets in the first place haven’t changed substantially: crumbling facilities, inadequate supplies, overcrowded classrooms, and teacher salaries ranked amongst the lowest in the nation. That’s because since 2009, our Arizona legislature has cut over $4.5 billion from public education, and Gov. Doug Ducey’s 20/20 plan to phase in $371 million over the next five years makes up only a fraction of what was cut. We’re still not even back up to 2008 funding levels — and Arizona teacher salaries still lag almost $12,000 below the national average. We have a long way to go. Yet, too many of our legislators seem disinterested in finding solutions to the urgent needs of our public schools — which is where 95% (the majority) of Arizona’s children go to school. My own representative, Shawnna Bolick, proposed a bill this session that actually focused on draining more mon-

ey from public education by again expanding private school vouchers. This, when just a couple of months earlier Arizonans gave a resounding “No” to voucher expansion, defeated Prop 305 by a 2-1 margin. This is not what Arizonans want. It’s now budget season at the State Capitol. I urge everyone to call your legislators — as well as the governor. Tell them to care enough about our children to find ways to restore the billions of dollars they’ve taken from our public schools over the last decade and then build from there. These missing billions are not just dollars. They’re an investment in our local communities that enable our children — from every neighborhood — the opportunity to reach their full potential and make our whole state better for all of us. Education should not be a partisan issue. We need to demand that our legislators and governor fully fund our public schools — or elect people who will.

READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Focus on affordable health care Editor: It was interesting to see the Congressional Budget Office (nonpartisan) come out with an analysis of Medicare for All this week. The report said it would create longer wait times and reduce people’s access to care. They don’t even tackle the cost angle, because it’s impossible to predict how much it will cost us in tax dollars. I know the Democrats running for pres-

ident need to hang their hats on major policy changes, but maybe they should all fight for improving the Affordable Care Act instead and getting more folks insurance coverage that’s affordable. It’s how moderates like Kyrsten Sinema won their seats, and it can be how Democrats improve the lives of the everyday American. Mary McGuirk Phoenix

Extending the statute of limitations BY SEN. PAUL BOYER Glendale Star Contributing Writer

JJump SSTART Your Summer! ummer!

The clock has run out. You can never get justice for what’s been done to you if you waited too long. In Arizona, a victim of sexual assault has only two years to file a civil lawsuit against their perpetrator — two years from the age of majority for a child who has been sexually assaulted, or two years from the date of the sexual assault if the victim was an adult. As such, pedophiles and rapists don’t need to silence their victims forever. They simply need to wait out their victim a paltry two years. What this means practically is no matter how much evidence exists, no matter how many victims were sexually assaulted by the same person and can corroborate their testimony, the state permanently bars victims from the doors of the court once the statute is up and they are “time barred.” Since 2003, several other states have changed their statutes to give victims more time, with 47 other states having longer statutes of limitations for victims of child sexual assault. This makes Arizona an outlier. The short window our young adults have between their 18th and 20th birthdays to hire an attorney, upend their lives and pursue a claim against someone they know may be nearly impossible for the victim — emotionally and even financially, as victims are more likely to experience symptoms of drug or alcohol abuse, job loss, homelessness and physical symptoms due to the repeat exposure to trauma they experi-

enced as a child. Further, since nine times out of 10 these children are enduring abuse by someone they know and trust, they have to make a decision. If it’s a family member, they have to consider what disclosing their abuse will do to their family relationships. What if no one believes them? What if their family doesn’t care and protects the abuser? Or it could even be a family friend or coach. Quite often, victims are paralyzed from coming forward by the power and threats of their abuser, along with feelings of humiliation, shame, guilt or all the above. While there is no “magic age” for a victim to come forward and report their abuse, we know that in most cases it takes decades to process the emotional and psychological trauma they’ve experienced as children who have undergone sexual assault. At the very least, we should give victims seven years from when they realize they were abused, which is what I’m fighting for in the state budget. Victims need time. Time to come to terms with what happened to them as a child. Time to develop the courage to confront their accuser and get the justice they deserve. Extending our statute of limitations will help identify hidden child predators, hold accountable the institutions that cover for them and protect more children from harm’s way. I’m not voting on the state budget until we do. Paul Boyer, R-Glendale, is a state senator and teaches high school literature.

When you start hating, you stop thinking When Leonardo da Vinci was working on his wonderful painting of “The Last Supper,” he painted the face of a man he hated as Judas. But when he came to paint the face of Jesus he tried again and again and failed. It was only when he painted out the face of the man he hated and put another in its place that he had a clear picture of the Lord’s countenance. His hatred, you see, had created a “dead spot” between him and the work he was doing. His hatred of the man had to be put right before even his marvelous ability would produce one of the greatest works of all time. Today, let’s address an issue that’s all around us. It’s thick in the atmosphere. It’s called hate. If we don’t recognize this current “hate climate” change, we will become like it. Honestly, I’m going to hate writing

this article on hate. I like my articles positive and hopeful. But this one is helpful. You would think no one would want negative, divisive stuff all the time. But media ratings show us a different picture. These days hate, conflict, strife and war sell more than love, truth, unity and peace. Hate increases media profits. Hate destroys relationships, people, countries and understanding. Hate creates an usthem, win-lose and right-wrong adversarial climate. Hate is the conquest of the hyphen, dividing and subtract-

ing rather than multiplying and adding. As hate increases, love decreases. Jesus revealed a future time when people’s love will grow cold and hate would grow hot. “At that time, many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.” Notice the progression. People who used to be different but still get along separate and betray one another. That produces hate. Then there will be false voices who mislead, pouring fuel on the fire of hate, making good things bad and vice versa. Then comes lawlessness, where the end justifies the means. Where you hate who is not for you. Then real love for most is far and away. Did you know actual physical changes in our brain occur when hate is activated? Here’s an excerpt of an article written by Esther Inglis-Arkell of The Daily Explainer on November 10, 2014. It’s entitled, “Here’s What Your Brain Is Doing When You Really, Really Hate Someone.” “Scientists have spotted the parts of the brain that light up when we actively hate someone. In 2008, two scientists decided to launch a study to investigate whether the emotion of hatred was rooted in some consistent biology. They asked subjects to stare first at the picture of a person the subjects had neutral feelings toward, and then at the picture of someone they hated. The subjects did this while hooked up to an MRI, allowing the researchers to see which parts of the brain were activated and deactivated. Doctors Zeki and Romaya were gratified to find that everyone in the study hated individuals the same way. “The parts of the brain activated — the medial frontal gyrus, the right putamen, the medial insula and the premotor cortex — have come to be known as the ‘hate circuit.’ The premotor cortex is one part of the brain that springs into action when people have feelings of aggression. When

we hate, at least part of us is preparing for a physical attack. The frontal gyrus deals with self-awareness and is involved in go/no-go decisions. The putamen gets engaged when people are in love, but it also activates when people feel contempt or disgust. The putamen also lights up when a person is planning aggressive acts. “Hate is characterized not just by areas of brain activity but by areas of brain inactivity. The superior frontal gyrus is correlated with self-awareness and laughter, so it’s not surprising that it’s repressed when a person hates. The section that is deactivated is near a section of the brain which, when repressed, seems to increase obsessive-compulsive behavior. When we hate, we fail to laugh, and we may get a bit obsessive.” In other words, when you start hating, you stop thinking logically. Here are some dark rewards of hate. If you hate, you will be like Leonardo da Vinci painting the person’s face you hate on everything and everyone you see. You’ll become obsessive. You’ll lose perspective. Your insight will disappear. No amount of logic will change you. Hating is like burning your own house down to kill a rat. Hating is the tail wagging the dog. You become what you focus on. Author C.S. Lewis enlightens us further: “I remember Christian teachers telling me I must hate a bad man’s actions but not the man. I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: How could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this to all my life — namely, myself.” You see, hating is self-punishment in disguise. Let’s build a bridge over the troubled waters of hate and get over it!

GCC represented at national track and field championships BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Community College sophomore Alejandro Avila will compete in the 2019 NJCAA DI Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track and Field National Championships in May.

Glendale Star Staff Writer

From the Glendale Union High School District to Glendale Community College, sophomore Alejandro Avila has become one of the top JUCO pole vaulters in the United States, competing with GCC. Avila began vaulting in his sophomore year of high school. A multisport athlete at Greenway High, he was competing for the Demons track and field team, but could not find a particular event that piqued his interest. He was ultimately drawn to vaulting because it was “flashy.” He had some success pretty soon after starting. After placing high in division meets his junior and sophomore years, while still playing other sports, he realized just how much he enjoyed vaulting. He dove fully into training in the summer

between his junior and senior years at Greenway.

“I really knew then that I wanted to be a pole vaulter, and I really dedicated myself to it that summer,” Avila said. The goal was always to eventually compete at the highest levels of college track and field, but he did not feel ready for such a stage after graduation. The proximity of GCC’s campus to home and familiarity with the coaching staff made the school an easy pick for two years. He has earned All-American honors three times since enrolling. An academically-focused student, Avila enjoys science classes such as physics. Just like the difficult college courses, he enjoys the challenge vaulting provides him every day. Rich Franklin, a volunteer vaulting coach at Glendale, said Avila is one of the better athletes he has had a chance to work with, both mentally and physically. Among his biggest strengths is the ability to accept coaching. “He is always listening, always wanting to get better,” Franklin said. “He’s the type of kid that, when you tell him something, some technique or a change, he can hear you and do it right away. That’s a really big deal.” After his two years in Glendale are finished, Avila hopes his records and improvement will be enough to gain him offers at four-year universities, where he wishes to continue his academic and athletic career.

In talking with some of the country’s best vaulters at several meets, many of those standing on the medal stand even at various Division 1 championship meets were junior college products who needed the time at a smaller school to develop their techniques. Avila hopes his story can be like theirs. Among his options is a potential preferred walk-on spot at ASU, and he said other schools have expressed mutual interest, too. He said a solid showing at the 2019 NJCAA DI Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track and Field National Championships from May 16 through May 18 at New Mexico Junior College would improve his chances to obtain a scholarship and roster spot on a bigschool track team. “A lot of the bigger schools really look at this championship meet as a big deal. It’s really a place where you only have one chance, so if you do well it shows them you can perform when you have the opportunity in big spots,” Avila said. Whatever other successes his vaulting future holds, though, Avila is focused on finishing with a personal record and gold medal at the national championship meet. He has medaled in many other meets throughout his two years in Glendale, including taking third at the 2019 NJCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships this March, but a strong showing at the outdoor finals would be a neat bow on the end of a solid JUCO career. “I’ve been on the medal stand before, and it’s great,” Avila said. “But at the end of this season, after all this work to be at the top of it, I think I’d be speechless.”
