Glendale is getting bigger. While other West Valley neighbors of Glendale have had population booms, Glendale’s population increased over the last year by a slim 1% (compared to 56% in Buckeye and 33% in Glendale). Yet Glendale is expanding, using annexations to move its boundaries west. Large farms near Luke Air Force Base are rapidly becoming industrial projects, with the land to grow jobs, rather than food. It sounds like a win-win: Developers get access to water (see Page 7) and the city gets business development that “print money for the city of Glendale,”
as Kevin Phelps, Glendale’s city manager, put it. But some neighbors say annexation is a loss for them. After many annexations sailed through Glendale City Council, residents of Waddell and Litchfield Park— just outside Glendale—are pushing back, claiming Glendale is invading their neighborhoods without their interests in mind. Where Glendale once ended east of the

Westgate was terrorized with its second shooting within four months last week. On Jan. 29, 31-year-old Avondale resident Tyler Wilson was gunned down in a Westgate parking lot. The car enthusiast was on his way to an auto show when he became the apparent victim of road rage. His killer has not been caught. On May 20, three were shot at Westgate in an apparently random attack by a single shooter. The suspect allegedly was armed with an AR-15 rifle that jammed— preventing him from reaching his goal of shooting 10 people, according to a prose-
cutor. Police arrested Armando Hernandez, a 20-year-old Peoria resident, and charged him with multiple counts of aggravated assault. He allegedly told police he identifies as an “incel,” short for involuntarily celibate, and shot people “to gain respect.” A prosecutor said Hernandez had been planning the “mass casualty” attack for three years. On May 20, he took a video of himself driving. “Hello, my name is Armando Junior Hernandez and I’m gonna be the shooter of Westgate 2020,” he said and showed
guns in his back seat. “This is to get back at society.” Later in the video, a woman on the ground begs not to be shot again. An unseen man responds by taunting her. The next day, a court video showed Hernandez looking far from arrogant, in handcuffs and an orange jail suit as he provided his name and date of birth before a Maricopa County Superior Court judge. Randy Stewart, a spokesman for the Glendale Police Department, said at a May 21 press conference that police arrived at Westgate within five minutes of 911 calls about the shooting.

Police arrested Hernandez, who did not resist, Stewart said. The damage caused by Hernandez could have been far worse, prosecutor Ed Leiter of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office said during a May 21 hearing setting $1 million bail for Hernandez. “He had 90 rounds of ammunition,” Leiter said. “But for the gun jamming, we would have been looking at many more victims.” Leiter said a 19-year-old man was in critical condition after Hernandez shot him in the chest. “The hospital was very concerned due to the inability to stop the bleeding,” Leiter said. Another victim was shot in the leg. “There could be the loss of a limb,” the prosecutor said. Tiffany Ngalula, a Glendale Police spokeswoman, said no updates on the victims would be provided over Memorial Day weekend. The third victim did not require hospitalization, according to the prosecutor. Public defender Philip Beatty said in court that Hernandez had no criminal history, works in construction, and lives with his father and brother. “He should be able to return to the community,” the public defender said. Leiter disagreed vehemently. “Hernandez in his (police) interview said he had the desire to cause mass casualties. He wanted to shoot 10 people—this was not a gun accidentally going off,” Leiter said. “This was Mr. Hernandez expressing his anger at society, the feeling he has been bullied, the feeling that women don’t want him. He is a self-professed

Loop 303, recent large-scale annexations have pushed the city limits to the highway—and beyond it. “There is no doubt our Loop 303 corridor is absolutely on fire with interests for development,” Phelps said. “The amount of projects and square footage is unprecedented at any time in Glendale’s history.” In June, Glendale City Council may annex another half-dozen large parcels, padding development in west Glendale that was launched with the late 2017 annexation of Woolf Logistics—which soon became developed as Red Bull and White Claw production facilities. After a pause, in early 2020 Glendale pushed forward on annexation plans with several more large properties near Loop 303: West 303, 76 acres at Sarival and Maryland avenues, which the owner plans to develop into 1 million square feet of industrial space; Barclay Group, 96 acres at Loop 303 and Glendale Avenue, with plans for another 1 million square feet of industrial and commercial buildings “with potential office retail”; and Cotton Properties.
Cotton Properties has become a controversial project. Glendale annexed the land, but neighbors in Litchfield Park and Waddell expressed outrage over a proposed Love’s Travel Stop on the property. (Glendale Star file photo)
Phelps stressed that, while annexations fit with Glendale City Council’s long-range plan of adding revenue-creating projects and jobs, “What makes the Loop 303 so unique is almost every annexation parcel that has been annexed or planned to be annexed has a unique set of circumstances.” “Unique” hardly begins to describe Cotton Properties. In January, Glendale annexed Cotton

Properties, 161 acres on the west side of the Loop 303, between Glendale Avenue and Bethany Home Road. Other of Glendale’s similar projects in the area went through the annexation process with hardly a whisper of protest. Yet Cotton Properties’ plans have brought out thundering cries from residents of Waddell and Litchfield Park, who are outraged over plans of the developer to build a Love’s Travel Stop. C.J. Unzen has been a leader of the group that insists a truck stop would bring noise, crime and pollution to the longtime sleepy area filled with farms and homes. Despite the protests, Cotton Properties sailed through annexation, with Glendale City Council unanimously approving it. Mayor Jerry Weiers even told protesters that the annexation hearing was not the time to raise their concerns. The protests may have played a part in several delays of a rezoning request by Cotton Properties. Areas that are annexed come into Glendale with a similar zoning to what they had in Maricopa County. In this case, Cotton Properties has an agricultural zoning. To build a truck stop and other commercial development of the properties, Cotton would need to have its zoning changed. Its request for planned area development (PAD) zoning, which would allow retail, commercial and office space, was scheduled to go to the Planning Commission in February. After Unzen and others demanded an opportunity for input, the developer scheduled a neighborhood meeting May 21. The Cotton Properties zoning applica-
May 28, 2020 tion is scheduled for the Planning Commission’s 6 p.m. June 4 meeting. With nearly a dozen annexations completed or in process, the granddaddy of them only emerged recently. A Nov. 12 city council workshop has become key, as during the meeting, Randy Huggins of Glendale’s Economic Development Department outlined Cotton Properties, adding, “A Love’s travel Center is going here.” At the same workshop, several proposed annexations near the Loop 303 were discussed by Chris Anaradian, then the assistant city manager—he is no longer with Glendale, and the city has refused to explain the circumstances of his leaving. “What we’ve done in the last 11 months is try to create a job center out there,” Anaradian told council members. “We’ve attempted to accomplish the task you set out for us, which was create a revenue source to support the rest of the city and its operations and limit residential to the fullest extent possible.” In other words, Glendale was looking to add large-scale businesses that add jobs and taxes, while avoiding annexing residential developments—which would add residents and require police, fire and other city services. Yet Anaradian then introduced “a large farm south of Cotton Properties. We’re talking to them,” he said, explaining it was larger than 500 acres and planned for homes. Councilman Bart Turner bristled at the idea, noting council only was interested in industrial/commercial development near Loop 303. Yet less than four months later, the annexation of Allen Ranches showed up on a city council meeting—and its first phase was approved unanimously. “The annexation request involves approximately 865 acres for an industrial development with a single-family community,” according to agenda information on Allen Ranches. The great majority—more than 600 acres—of the site would be industrial development, according to the proposal. Allen Ranches span from Bethany Home Road 1 mile south to Camelback Road, with Loop 303 the eastern boundary and Citrus Road 1 mile away the western boundary.

tentatively scheduled for the June 23 Glendale City Council meeting. Another group is protesting the Allen Ranches annexation and development plan (See Opinion section).
EPCOR
When EPCOR took over smaller water companies in western Maricopa County, any developers near Glendale’s western edge were required “to at least apply for annexation, or have a pre-annexation agreement,” Phelps said. “So the first stop for a property developer is at least reach out to the city of Glendale,” Phelps said. But the Allen Ranches situation was different. “EPCOR gave (Allen Ranches) the right to do their own water and sewer, so they technically don’t have to annex into the city of Glendale at all. But we’ve worked with them very closely, and they’ve volunteered to come in,” Phelps said. The Glendale annexation process, according to a document created in 2003 and revised in 2014, makes slight addi-

tions to state law governing annexations. In Glendale, a developer or land owner first makes contact with the city, to determine if a pre-annexation development agreement is needed. If city staff and the developer think the match is a good one, the owner submits an annexation application. If city staff likes the application, it is submitted for a city council workshop— like the Nov. 12 one, during which Allen
Ranches and Cotton Properties were introduced. The next step is a public hearing— usually at a city council meeting—on a “blank petition” stating the owner’s desire to be annexed. At a subsequent city council meeting, council votes on bringing the proposed property into the city. Allen Ranches went through initial phases, and council is scheduled to vote on annexing it in June. Nothing in the annexation process requires a landowner to be specific about businesses that could operate there. The mention of Love’s Travel Stop on Cotton Properties set off alarm bells for neighbors. “We are aware people in Litchfield Park and Waddell have voiced concerns,” Phelps said. But, he stressed, the development process is long, and Cotton Properties is in early phases: “(Cotton Properties owners) have talked about a truck stop—but between now and when it’s developed, Love’s Travel Stop could go out of business. On May 21, a Love’s Travel Stop representative and attorneys representing Cotton Properties held a virtual “neighborhood meeting.” They were bombarded with concerns and complaints from the 130 area residents who participated in the online meeting. The next stop for Cotton Properties is a zoning request before the Glendale Planning Commission at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 4. Cotton Properties still is not required to reveal specific plans at this stage of the process—the owner is asking for a change from agricultural zoning to
May 28, 2020 planned area development, which would allow a variety of commercial and industrial potential use. The truck stop is a small portion of the 160 acres. Discussions between Cotton Properties and the city about a possible annexation go back more than two years. “It’s been more than a year I’ve been aware of it,” Phelps said. He recalled that his first impressions were Cotton Properties fit what Glendale was after: “Everything there checked the right boxes: a quality developer with plans to develop several million square feet. They were also willing to do speculative building,” Phelps said. The bottom line, Phelps said, is Cotton Properties is good for Glendale. “It’s consistent with our general plan. It will create jobs for the region. It will create revenue for the city,” Phelps said. Revenues for a commercial/industrial project can start streaming in for construction sales tax and various permit and inspection fees. Later, there could be a tax on rentals or sales tax on facilities. “There could be all kinds of additional revenue coming through,” Phelps said. He compared that to a residential development: “They require 24/7 police and fire, libraries, parks, streets, zoning—and we’re just getting a little sliver of the property tax. The cost of delivering services to residents is so much more,” he said. “Let’s say (an industrial project) builds 20 million square feet of space over the next eight to 10 years—I won’t have to build parks. The city won’t have to build libraries. We don’t have to build a lot of expensive infrastructure,” Phelps said. He noted White Claw expects to have 300 employees in 2021. “And we’re not going to have to send out police every day, or EMTs.” The city manager said annexations and industrial/commercial development near Loop 303 is “critical for the future of Glendale.” “We are an old city—we have a lot of old infrastructure. The only way we will be able to maintain a quality city is we need revenue. We cannot tax our individuals more. What we can do is set aside available land for business development. They come in and create value. “They print money for the city of Glendale.”

Developers near Loop 303 look to annexations for water BY TOM SCANLON
Glendale Star Managing Editor
Glendale City Manager Kevin Phelps was clear about why the city is interested in annexing land such as Cotton Properties. His reasoning, in a word: money. But why would land in unincorporated Maricopa County want to become part of Glendale? The answer, in a word: water. Through an agreement with utility company EPCOR, developers in unincorporated Maricopa County must negotiate annexation with Glendale before receiving water services. This is the main reason to ask for annexation, said Shaine Alleman and William Lally, attorneys with the firm Tiffany and Bosco. They talked to the Glendale Star the day after a raucous online “neighborhood meeting” about Cotton Properties. The attorneys represent the owners of the property, which was recently annexed into Glendale. More than 130 residents of Litchfield Park and Waddell participated in the online meeting, voicing their concerns that a Love’s Travel Stop proposed on the property would bring noise, traffic and crime to their quiet neighborhood. “We appreciate those who attended the virtual neighborhood meeting to discuss the potential Love’s Travel Stop coming to Glendale,” Chad Previch of Love’s said. “Hearing from local residents is something that’s been key to our success. It allows us to work with the community to mitigate concerns and lets us discuss our long history of safe operations since 1964. “Safety is at the forefront of everything we do.” Lally stressed he represents not Love’s, which in interested in purchasing 10 acres, but the 160-acre property owners who may sell a portion of the land to Love’s. Lally noted the majority of the land fronting Cotton Lane will probably become office spaces or warehouses. The planned area development (PAD) zoning the owners will request from Glendale’s Planning Commission June 4 “allows multiple uses,” Lally said. “It could be warehouses. When you look

Attorney
up and down the 303, you see warehouses.” Love’s is considering 10 acres on Bethany Home Road and Loop 303. “One of the users we’re looking at is a Love’s truck stop. If they bought, they would buy a small portion or piece of the property,” Lally said. Lally insisted the protest would not be relieved by another development. “If it was a Walmart or a gas station or a supermarket, there would have been concerns,” he said. “Traffic, light, noise—those come with any commercial use.” Asked why the owners wanted to be part of Glendale in the first place, Lally said, “There are lots of benefits. When you have residential properties, it’s easy to stay in (unincorporated) Maricopa County. “But Maricopa County doesn’t provide water. Glendale does.” Indeed, land owners in unincorporated Maricopa County near Loop 303 are required to at least explore the possibility of annexing to Glendale before receiving EPCOR water. Though water is the primary reason, Lally said there are other benefits to becoming part of Glendale. “If you’re annexed in, you get a much higher level of service: Glendale Police, Glendale Fire, utilities. If you’re going to build a higher use than single-family home, you want a higher level of service,” Lally said. “Maricopa County just does not provide those.” If an agreement with Glendale was not reached, Cotton Properties could have stayed in unincorporated Maricopa County and requested a development zoning change from the county. “For utility reasons, it made more sense” to be annexed into Glendale, Lally said. “Glendale Police Department and Glendale Fire Department are able to
support the property. That was an overwhelming benefit.” Lally and Alleman said Glendale’s annexation guidelines are nearly identical to the state legislation. They have worked with the city on other projects. “The city of Glendale is one of the more sophisticated cities in the Valley. They have a long history of annexing large areas of the West Valley, and they
are very particular about following all the rules,” Lally said. “If you’re dealing with Glendale and do something wrong, they’ll let you know about it right away,” Alleman added. If the Planning Commission approves the June 4 rezoning request by Cotton Properties, it will next go to Glendale City Council, which has the power to approve or reject the rezoning.

23 deaths from COVID-19 reported at Glencroft BY TOM SCANLON
Glendale Star Managing Editor
The number of deaths from COVID-19 of long-term facility residents in Maricopa County continues to rise —with Glencroft Center for Modern Aging in Glendale also having an increase in deaths. According to the Maricopa County Department of Public Health, of 368 COVID-19 deaths, 263 (71%) were residents of long-term care facilities. Of the total deaths, 88% have been 65 or older in the county. In the state, of the 804 who died of coronavirus, 632 (78%) were 65 or older. Glencroft remains one of the few facilities in Arizona to provide its own statistics. Glencroft said it started the policy last week in the hope that other long-term facilities would follow. On May 11, Glencroft had seven

Of the 1,236 residents of those facilities who tested positive, 282 were hospitalized. The 263 deaths are 21% of the positive cases at Maricopa County longterm facilities. (At Glencroft, 24% of residents who tested positive for COVID-19 died.) At a webinar last week, Maricopa County Public Health Medical Director Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine said the county was soliciting requests for proposals for contractors to test residents of long-term facilities for COVID-19. “Individuals in long-term (facilities) are both the most vulnerable and experience the most serious consequences” of COVID-19, Sunenshine said.
Glendale nurse receives Glendale grew by 1% last year, No. 6 in Valley research award BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF At the 16th annual Nursing Excellence Awards, Phoenix Children’s gave Francine Hoekstra of Glendale the Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice Award. The award honors nurses who explore the safest and best practices for their patients and generate new knowledge based on that evidence. Hoekstra recently completed a research project that showed clinically and statistically significant improvements in glycemic control in youth with type 1 diabetes, according to the hospital. “Using this research as a foundation, she has spearheaded a huge program to improve care for every child with type 1 diabetes served by Phoenix Children’s Hospital,” said a press release. “This research study was purely a labor of love,” Hoekstra said. “I was able to follow patients closely and develop a close relationship over eight months and coach them to improve their diabetes control along with their physician and other resources. Over the eight

months, the majority of patients statistically improved their control and decreased their number of missed school days. “I was very honored to receive the nursing research award.”
With a population of 252,381, Glendale remains by far the biggest city in the West Valley, and No. 6 in the Valley, trailing Phoenix (1.6 million), Mesa (518,012), Chandler (261,125), Gilbert (254,114) and Scottsdale (258,069). But growth in the last year in Glendale has been relatively slow, compared to its fast-growing neighbors. Glendale’s population grew in the last year by 1%, according to U.S. Census figures. Over the last decade, Glendale has grown by 11.6%. Peoria grew by double Glendale’s rate in the last year, to reach 175,961— with 14.2% growth over the last decade. In the last year, Buckeye blew away all Arizona cities, growing by a 7.1% rate to reach 79,620. Buckeye’s growth over the last decade has been even more remarkable. A May 21 report from the Census Bureau shows an estimated 28,769 who moved to Buckeye since the official 2010 count, making Mayor Jack-
ie Meck’s hometown the second fastest-growing city of more than 50,000 in the nation. Only Frisco City, Texas, grew faster, at 71.1%, than Buckeye’s 56.6% growth rate. Goodyear came in No. 14 for growth during the same period, with a 33.1% increase in population since the last census. Census numbers will not be “official” again until the 2020 census figures are released some time in 2021. Litchfield Park grew by 2.3% last year—but 31% over the last decade—to reach a population of 6,436. Tolleson’s growth was 1.4% over the last year, bringing it to a population of 7,372, with 12% growth in Tolleson since 2010. Avondale grew by 2.6% over the last year, to 87,931. El Mirage only grew by 0.6% over the last year, to 35.7553. But its population grew by 12.4% in the last decade. Phoenix now has a population of 1.6 million, growing by 1.6% over the last year and 16.2% since 2010.

Coyotes lead blood drive at Gila River Arena BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Aiming to rebuild shortages, the Arizona Coyotes and Gila River Arena are partnering with Vitalant and Streets of New York to host a community blood drive from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 27, and Thursday, May 28, at Gila River Arena. To ensure that social distancing is in place, donors are recommended to make an appointment at vitalant.org/coyotes prior to the event date and will be required to bring and wear a mask. Donors will enter Gila River Arena at the far east door of Gate 4. Parking will be available in Lot G on the east side of the arena. Coach Rick Tocchet and star Coyotes Brad Richardson and Jason Demers will also donate blood. Due to safety measures implemented because of the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of blood drives across Arizona were canceled over the past two months. Vitalant is Arizona’s largest nonprofit community provider responsible for fulfilling 100% of Mar-
icopa County and 90% of statewide blood needs. Donors at the Arizona Coyotes Gila River Arena blood drive will help Arizona kids like 5-yearold Nathan, who is alive today because of more than 80 blood donors. Nathan was born with a rare disorder that causes his red blood cells to rapidly break apart. Every three weeks, he relies on the generosity of strangers to donate lifesaving blood—a need that will most likely continue the rest of his life. In appreciation for helping during this crucial time for patients, the blood drive sponsors are expressing their gratitude with the following thankyou gifts for donors: • One complimentary ticket, subject to a $5 facility fee, for a designated 2020-21 Coyotes home game once the schedule is released. • Voucher for a slice of cheese pizza and a Pepsi, courtesy of Streets of New York. • Entry into a raffle for a 2019-20 Coyotes team signed stick.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF A 3-year-old girl died after being pulled out of a backyard pool May 23, according to Ashley Losch, a spokeswoman for the Glendale Fire Department. “The family is visiting from out of state and renting an Airbnb in north Glendale,” Losch said. “Approximately 12 family members, including multiple children under the age of 10, were in the back yard when the little girl went underwater. The family members were reportedly distracted by another child when the toddler slipped into the pool unnoticed,” Losch said. She said the girl was underwater for an unknown time before she was discovered. After pulling the girl from the pool, a family member did CPR, with a nurse who is a neighbor providing assistance. “When fire crews arrived, the little girl did not have a pulse and was not breathing on her own. Firefighters immediately initiated lifesaving interventions and transported the child to a nearby hospital,” Losch said. “Sadly, the child did not survive her
injuries and was pronounced deceased at the hospital. Crisis response teams were on scene to assist the family.” Losch said there was no pool fence at the home, “but all of the family members were outside at the time of the drowning.” “This is a good time to remind people to designate a water watcher when having a gathering. Someone who’s entire responsibility is to watch the water. It only takes a few seconds for a child to go under the water undetected.” Losch also suggested the following safety measures for families with pools: • Practice swimming to the side and getting out of the pool. • Practice floating. • Keep the pool and pool area clear of toys and rafts when the pool is not in use. • Make pool clean up a family activity. • Lock the gate together when swim time is over. • Designate a water watcher. • Have children design a water watcher badge. • Watch an online CPR class as a family.
BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF According to U.S. Census statistics, 56% of the state has responded to the 2020 census. That was slightly below the 60% national average. The Maricopa County average is 61%. The most responsive of West Valley cities have been Litchfield Park and Peoria, where two-thirds have responded to the census. Goodyear was just behind them. Buckeye and Glendale were slightly ahead of the state average. Avondale, El Mirage and Tolleson trailed the state average for responses. The Census Bureau began mailing paper questionnaires in mid-April to
homes that had not yet responded. The mailing has information on how to respond online, by phone or by mail. To learn more or respond online, visit my2020census.gov. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the deadline to respond was extended to Oct. 31. Census response rates in West Valley cities: • Avondale, 53%. • Buckeye, 58%. • El Mirage, 52%. • Glendale, 58%. • Goodyear, 62%. • Litchfield Park, 67%. • Peoria, 66%. • Tolleson, 53%.

Food bank reopens, needs volunteers
Glendale’s Hope For Hunger Food Bank reopened for the first time since COVID-19 forced it to only allow curbside driveups. “Now people will finally be able to come inside and receive the full continuum of support, including case management,” said Josh Skalniak, a Hope for Hunger spokesman. “However, the volunteer-led food bank has seen a drastic decline in volunteer support, especially as people return to work, even as record numbers of families are reaching out for support.” To volunteer, visit prm.volunteerhub.com.

As temperature climbs, heat relief is on the way BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF This week, temperatures are expected to soar near 110. The Salvation Army - Glendale Corps at 6010 W. Northern Avenue and the Salvation Army - Valley of the Sun Korean Corps at 7238 N. 61st Avenue are open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on days with excessive heat warnings. Glendale is partnering with the Maricopa Association of Governments as part of the Heat Relief Regional Network. Extreme heat is the No. 1 weather-related cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. July is the deadliest
month in Arizona. The Heat Relief Regional Network is a regional partnership that creates awareness of the dangers from extreme heat, coordinates resources and provides maps of the heat relief resources for those in need during the summer months. The ultimate goal of the Heat Relief Regional Network is to prevent heat-related deaths among vulnerable populations. Glendale’s main hydration station is outside the city court at 5711 W. Glendale Avenue, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. To learn more about the Heat Relief Regional Network, visit azmag.gov/heatrelief.

Opposed to Allen Ranches planned annexation BY GARY BLANDINO AND BRAD MELTON Guest Writers
Imagine that your family bought the perfect home nestled in a pastoral community of large lots near the White Tank Mountains, where the local school is a caring haven for young minds and friendly neighbors meet for coffee at the country market just down the road near the small-town post office. Now imagine a white sign appears across the street, which reads: “Zoning Hearing.” You discover that Glendale, a large city 19 miles away, wants to annex the farmland bordering your idyllic community to build massive industrial buildings and high-density housing. They are not accountable to you; they plan to impose their will on you without your consent, and they can. Unfortunately, an antiquated and now illegal process, known as “strip annexation,” allowed cities like Glen-
dale, Goodyear, Buckeye and many more to lay claim to hundreds of square miles of unincorporated Maricopa County land. Glendale doesn’t want neighborhoods and people; they want tax revenue with little or no cost. No police and fire protection, no streets maintenance, no emergency medical support and no parks. Minimal money spent, maximum revenue. And just why does Glendale need to make so much money? Earlier city councils decided to make Glendale a sports and entertainment mecca, competing with nearby Phoenix for a big payback. The sales tax revenue generated, they said, would cover the debt they would incur, close to a billion dollars. State Farm Stadium was built, along with Gila River Arena (Coyotes hockey), a convention and media center, and the Camelback Ranch baseball complex. Bond debt in the hundreds of millions of dollars serviced not by
KIRK’S OPINION – King Features
property taxes but by sales taxes. Then came the Great Recession. Glendale came within a hair’s breadth of going bankrupt. Lost city services have slowly been restored, and deferred maintenance is an ongoing issue. The city’s finances, still precarious, were improving, but along came COVID-19. That sales tax to pay the bond debt? Gone. Bankruptcy? Maybe, but there is always the “New Frontier.” Glendale’s “New Frontier,” which is the Loop 303 business corridor, was strip annexed by Glendale before the law changed in 1980; the land can be cherry picked for the best profit returns. The land will be selectively added to the city only if it generates revenue without incurring a high cost to the city. In 2016, the owners of Allen Ranches put forward a plan to obtain rezoning for nearly 900 acres of land in Maricopa County, just west of the 303, between Bethany Home and Camelback. On the east side they would have a commercial-industrial park, and on the west, abutting Citrus Road, they would have a residential community with very high home densities. Area residents resisted and packed a hearing at Scott Libby School, making the property owner and the developer aware that the plan was unacceptable. The developer’s representatives worked productively with the area stakeholders and developed a compromise plan. With fewer homes on a variety of larger lots, the plan was compliant with the Mar-
icopa County zoning guidance for transitional zoning and buffers to prevent conflicts. Maricopa County approved the plan in December 2016. Unfortunately, the owners of Allen Ranches have hatched a plan to bypass the wishes of Maricopa County and area residents by asking Glendale to annex their property and immediately rezone it to include a much larger commercial footprint than the county-approved plan would permit and a smaller, high-density residential component. Half of the 800 lots in this new plan would be smaller than the smallest residential lot size designation for Maricopa County. And this residential community would sit 19 miles from Glendale City Hall, an island surrounded by unincorporated land. There is a name for this type of zoning: spot zoning. The classic definition of spot zoning is: “the process of singling out a small parcel of land for a use classification totally different from that of the surrounding area for the benefit of the owner of such property and to the detriment of other owners.” This example of spot zoning will create many conflicts for existing residents in the area, all while Glendale profits. To be a good neighbor, the city of Glendale should reject spot zoning and embrace the 2016 development plan. Gary Blandino lives in Litchfield Park. Brad Melton lives in Waddell.

READER’S VIEWPOINTS Got Medicare? Get a LETTER TO THE EDITOR no-cost test for COVID-19 Glendale’s love BY SEEMA VERMA Guest Writer
If you have Medicare and want to be tested for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the Trump administration has good news. Medicare covers tests with no out-of-pocket costs. You can get tested in your home, doctor’s office, a local pharmacy or hospital, a nursing home or a drive-thru site. Medicare does not require a doctor’s order for you to get tested. Testing is particularly important for older people and nursing home residents, who are often among the most vulnerable to COVID-19. Widespread access to testing is a critical precursor to a safe, gradual reopening of America. When a vaccine for COVID-19 is developed, Medicare will cover that, too. For Medicare beneficiaries who are homebound and can’t travel, Medicare will pay for a trained laboratory technician to come to your home or residential nursing home to collect a test sample. (This doesn’t apply to people in a skilled nursing facility on a shortterm stay under Medicare Part A, as the costs for this test, including sample collection, are already covered as part of the stay.) If you receive Medicare home health services, your home health nurse can collect a sample during a visit. Nurses working for rural health clinics and federally qualified health clinics also can collect samples in beneficiaries’ homes under certain conditions. Or you can go to a “parking lot” test site set up by a pharmacy, hospital or other entity in your community. We’re doing similar things in the Medicaid program, giving states flexibility to cover parking lot tests as well as tests in beneficiaries’ homes and other community settings. We also implemented the Families First Medicaid eligibility option, which allows states to cover tests for uninsured people with no cost sharing.
Individuals should contact their state Medicaid agency to apply for this coverage. Both Medicare and Medicaid cover serology or antibody tests for COVID-19. These tests can help identify who has been exposed to the virus. Medicare generally covers the entire cost of COVID-19 testing for beneficiaries with Original Medicare. If you’re enrolled in a Medicare Advantage health plan, your plan generally can’t charge you cost sharing (including deductibles, copayments and coinsurance) for COVID-19 tests and the administration of such tests. In addition, Medicare Advantage plans may not impose prior authorization or other utilization management requirements on the COVID-19 test or specified COVID-19 testing-related services for the duration of the COVID-19 public health emergency. We have also required that private health issuers and employer group health plans cover COVID-19 testing and certain related items and services, with no cost sharing during the pandemic. This includes items and services that result in an order for, or administration of, a COVID-19 diagnostic test in a variety of medical settings, including urgent care visits, emergency room visits, and in-person or telehealth visits to the doctor’s office. From day one, Medicare has worked to ensure cost is no barrier to being tested for COVID-19, and to make testing as widely and easily available as possible. As a result, we’ve seen a surge in testing among Medicare beneficiaries. Robust and widespread testing is of paramount importance as we begin easing back into normal life. You can always get answers to your Medicare questions by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-6334227). Seema Verma is an administrator of the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
of truck stops
Editor: How important have your neighbors been during the COVID-19 crisis? Most likely a lot. A large group of neighbors in the Bethany Home/ Cotton Lane area west of the 303 are fighting to keep their neighborhood a neighborhood. Glendale has annexed and rezoned a square mile of farmland and is readying to plant a new crop, a 50-bay Loves Travel Center and multistory warehouses at the northwest corner of Bethany Home and the 303. A quarter mile away are houses and a half mile farther and beyond, more communities and schools. All close enough to bear the brunt of air pollution, environment pollution, sound pollution, traffic congestion and crime totally absent in the neighborhood today.
Diesel smell 24/365; concentrated airborne diesel particulate matter; children subjected to the grid of truck stop roughnecks and petty criminals; property values plummeting. You probably wouldn’t want your neighborhood to become an industrial blight, and if so, we need your help. The Glendale City Council has scheduled a public meeting at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, June 4, at City Hall to discuss rezoning for a truck stop. If the COVID-19 restrictions are still in place, the City Council might hold a virtual meeting; details can be found at the Glendale’s website. Please contact council members by email—their addresses are on the website (glendaleaz. com, then “Your Government”)—and/ or attend the meeting to find out how “beautiful and desirable” a Loves Truck Center will make our neighborhood.

As more and more businesses in Arizona reopen, the Avondale Main Event opened its doors Friday, May 22. Avondale’s house of games features 26 bowling lanes, video games, laser tag, gravity ropes, billiards and shuffleboard. Main Events around the Valley closed in mid-March due to concerns surrounding COVID-19. Following the guidance of local and state authorities, they are returning with new enhanced health and safety measures. “The health and safety of our team and customers is our top concern while reopening,” Maine Event CEO Chris Morris said. New measures include enhanced sanitation measures for equipment, markers to promote social distancing at different activities, and the inclusion of sanitation stations throughout the facilities. Masks and gloves will also be available for guests who would prefer to use them.

Following Gov. Doug Ducey’s announcements that businesses in Arizona may begin to reopen, Main Event implemented a new plan called “Play Smart, Play Safe” to adapt its facilities for social distancing. As new safety measures have been put in place, Main Event has been soliciting feedback from customers. “The feedback has been a majority positive, and people are excited to be back,” Morris said. Morris added he hopes “families will be able to enjoy their time at Main Event and strengthen their bonds that they have built over the past few months.” For more information, visit mainevent.com. EOS Fitness also reopened all 22 Valleywide locations last week, also with enhanced sanitizing and social distancing guidelines EOS Fitness has three locations in Glendale, as well as fitness centers in Peoria, Goodyear and Avondale.

High-security veteran overcomes cancer, graduates from ASU BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Few of the thousands of recent Arizona college graduates have the work experience and life skills of Justin Sanchez of Litchfield Park. Two weeks ago, he virtually walked across the stage to earn a Bachelor of Science in emergency management and homeland security from Arizona State University. Not long after enrolling at ASU, the military veteran was diagnosed with cancer. Despite this, he kept going and managed to beat the disease, all while juggling his responsibilities as a dad to his son Liam, being a student at ASU and working full time as a senior nuclear security officer. Sanchez, raised in Peoria and a graduated from Sunrise Mountain High School, is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. He works at the Arizona Public Service (APS) Palo Verde Generating Station. “There are many things involved
in my job that are considered safeguards,” he said. “What this means is that you must have a ‘Need to Know’ to get some of this information. What I can tell you is that I work with a great group of individuals from all different walks of life. “Our primary job is to protect the health and welfare of the public, APS/ Palo Verde employees and the power plant itself from nuclear sabotage. We do this in many different ways, from screening employees coming to work, just like you would go through at the airport, and various patrols.” He said the Tonopah facility has frequent trainings. “I love my job and take great pride in what I do, especially right now during the COVID-19 crisis. We help keep the lights on and have continued to work day and night through all the risk. “The plant is a great place to work, and I don’t regret a single day in my 11 years out there.”

Desert Diamond Casino West Valley to reopen June 5 BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The West Valley’s biggest entertainment center is preparing to reopen. The Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise (TOGE) will reopen Desert Diamond Casino West Valley at 1 p.m. Friday, June 5. TOGE will reopen three other Desert Diamond Casinos near Tucson, Sahuarita and Why (Ajo) the same day. According to a press release, “As a leader in guest service and safety, TOGE is implementing comprehensive, structural changes in its health
and sanitization procedures to offer the highest level of protection for guests, team members and the community.” Deep cleaning of each property has been underway throughout the suspension of operations. “Facilities are also being rearranged to accommodate social distancing measures and install protective equipment such as plexiglass shields,” the release said. “New precautions will include temperature scanning of guests and daily screenings of team members

for symptoms. “Masks will be provided and required for both team members and guests.” The reopening of each location will occur in phases, prioritizing health and safety. Initially, some amenities will remain closed and facility hours will be reduced to allow for daily deep cleanings. Each facility will also temporarily limit occupancy capacity to preserve space for social distancing. “On behalf of the entire Desert Diamond Casino family, there is tre-
mendous excitement to welcome our guests back to Arizona’s premier gaming facilities. The fact that we have taken extraordinary safety measures will only enhance our guests’ entertainment experience during this unprecedented time,” said Rudy Prieto, CEO of TOGE. “Thank you everyone for your patience, and we look forward to welcoming you back to the safest place to play on June 5.” For more information, visit ddcaz. com.

Healthy diet, sleep and exercise keys to maintaining immune system BY KYLEE GILLESPIE AND BRIAN CANO
Glendale Star Contributing Writers
Keeping your immune system strong is important—now more than ever—as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic continues to spread, West Valley nutrition and health experts say. The challenges are different, even within the same household, said KaTrina Samuels-Garrison, a registered dietitian and nutrition specialist at AM Nutrition Services in Avondale and Glendale. Older residents need to eat carefully to keep their immune system strong, she said. And the middle-aged working from home have to learn to not snack all day long. “I have gone to the grocery stores and I see a lot of food items that are being taken from shelves, like dry goods,” Samuels-Garrison said. “But I see a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables that are still sitting on the shelves. These are the things people should be eating.” Eating a nutritious, balanced diet is important for your overall health and your immune system, she noted. For all adults, especially older people, Samuels-Garrison said eating the right foods is essential to beating an infection and keeping your immune system operating at top levels. She said she tells her patients to fuel up on foods that are high in vitamin A, vitamin C

and magnesium, such as carrots, sweet potatoes, romaine lettuce and oranges. “When I have a patient that comes in who tends to be stressed out or anxious, I tell them to go and get this magnesium,” Samuels-Garrison said. “A lot of people feel their anxiety and their stress come down after taking magnesium.” One of the most important things to keep healthy, especially during any disease outbreak, is make sure you’re getting enough sleep and try to minimize stress. Alex Juarez, communications director for AARP Arizona, said getting plenty of exercise, meditating and doing breathing exercises can help.
“There’s a strong link between your immune health and your mental health,” Juarez said. “When you’re under chronic stress or anxiety, your body produces stress hormones that suppress your immune system.” And rest can be crucial. A 2015 study from the journal SLEEP, an official publication of the Sleep Research Society, found that people who sleep at least seven hours were four times less likely to come down with a cold than those who clocked less than six. AARP has produced multiple reports on the advantages of exercise to older adults. Exercise has a multitude of benefits, including decreasing inflammation and improving immune regulation, Juarez said. “Working out is a powerful way to boost your immune system. It causes your body’s antibodies and white blood cells to circulate more rapidly,” Juarez said. But Samuels-Garrison said exercise and diet sometimes isn’t enough. Many
factors go into lowering one’s immune system, and while a change in diet might not alter an immune system immediately, it can help ward off illness. “With seniors, because of their age, they may have diseases or conditions in the human body or have to take medications, or they may have chronic stress,” Samuels-Garrison said. “You can’t change those things overnight.” While social distancing has more people cooking at home and staying in, Samuels-Garrison cautioned about portions and healthy options. Instead of eating junk food and continuously snacking, opt for fruits and vegetables, which contain a lot of fiber and water and therefore give the feeling of being full. “If you hit your fullness cue and you’re still trying to eat, it usually is a sign of something else,” Samuels-Garrison said. “So if you’re finding that you’re walking into the kitchen because you’re stressed out or bored, you need to find some other activity.”

No summer programs at TheaterWorks BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, TheaterWorks will not have summer programming. “In response to the rapidly changing environment and out of concern for the safety and health of our patrons, TheaterWorks has made the difficult decision to suspend in-person programming until the fall,” said Chris Hamby, the group’s producing artistic director. “This includes our planned summer productions and summer camps. We are heartbroken that we are unable to
bring you the productions we had intended, but we are confident that we will get through this rapidly changing situation together.” Even so, TheaterWorks is planning to have a digital presence over the summer. “Our creative juices are still flowing and we are currently developing virtual class offerings to replace our in-person SummerWorks camps,” Hamby said.

Flattening the curve: a success story BY DR. NICK HUNTER
Glendale Star Guest Writer
Springtime is nearing its end and the weather soon will be heating up. Everyone should be outside in the sunshine. Instead, we are staying inside our homes and practicing social distancing. Coronavirus disease 2019, or COVID-19, has many of us stressed out and unsure how to cope with the recommendations to help flatten the curve. It’s important we take this time to remember we are not “stuck at home” but playing our part to protect ourselves, our loved ones and complete strangers. It is a stressful time, as we can feel cut off from family, friends and the outside world. As we all do our part to slow the spread of the virus, it becomes easy to think that means we have to become hermits and stay in our homes 24/7. In-
creased stress can look like “increased fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones, changes in sleep or eating patterns, difficulty sleeping or concentrating, and worsening of chronic health problems” (source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). We are going to talk about some things you can do to help cope with the stress and how you don’t have to avoid that beautiful sunshine all the time!
Take breaks from news and social media
While learning accurate information about COVID-19 and individual risk can make the outbreak seem less stressful, it is very important to take breaks from the news and social media to reduce overall stress levels. I’m as guilty of this as any of you in reading articles
New location. Same exceptional care.

or stories shared on Facebook or reading my local news stories, but I try to check more credible sources such as the CDC or World Health Organization websites a few times a week for updates and avoid reading every article that I see on social media. Hearing, reading and talking about the pandemic all the time can increase your stress levels and make you more upset.
Take care of your mind and body
As tensions can start to rise from being in closer quarters than normal with your loved ones, it is important to remember to take care of your mind and body. Taking even two minutes a day to focus on your breath, how the inhales and exhales feel as the breath moves in and out of your body, and what your mind tends to wander to as you try to focus can make you feel calmer and more in control of what you allow your mind to focus on. This may be the perfect time to take up yoga or a meditation practice to help quiet your mind and improve your mindbody connection. It is also important to eat healthy meals (even though those “junk food quarantine snacks” can look appealing). I know many people stocked up on dry or canned goods just in case, but while you still have the opportunity continue to try to eat less processed foods and get those delicious fruits and vegetables. Sugar and alcohol have been shown to lower our immune systems, so try to avoid those during this stressful time to help your body fight off infections.

Also make sure to get plenty of sleep. Being home more can mean a slight change in your routine, but try to get at least seven to eight hours and stick to your normal schedule.
Go outside
If allowed in your area, continue or even start to go on a daily walk if your body allows. It is encouraged to maintain at least 6 feet apart and avoid crowded areas, but you are still able to go outside and get some vitamin D. Going outside for a walk, bike ride or any other activity you enjoy can help lower stress levels through cardiovascular exercise and help you from feeling cooped up all day. This may be the time you finally get in the habit of exercising on a regular basis. If you have some other health issues that are keeping you from being active, try sitting outdoors to read a book or listen to some music.
Connect with family and friends
Technology has really helped us out with this one. During a time where it is easy to feel alone and isolated, our computers and phones can keep us connected to those we care about. You can use many different platforms to video chat like Skype, Zoom or FaceTime in order to see your loved ones. You also can call, text, or write a letter to let someone know you are thinking about them. If you are feeling particularly anxious or isolated during this time, reach out not only to a loved one but a health care provider, as this is an extremely stressful situation for many. It is important during this time to try to find some balance between your new routine and your old routine. Give yourself some time each day to relax and take care of yourself as well as those around you. We are all in this together and need to stay connected as we continue to stay apart.

Ottawa University enhances student experience BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
With the COVID-19 pandemic still dominating the world, high school graduates and transfer students may choose to stay closer to home to continue their studies this fall. Encouraging students to “Stay Connected, Stay Local,” Ottawa University-Arizona (OUAZ) wants these bright young minds to consider its Surprise campus at 15950 N. Civic Center Plaza. “We are preparing all necessary precautions to host students at our brandnew residential campus in Surprise, which also has emergency services on-site,” said Dr. Brian Sandusky, OUAZ’s chief enrollment officer. “Students may want to stay close to home, and we want them to know about their opportunities here with us. We have new facilities on our campus, which opened in fall 2019. It’s an exciting time for us here in Surprise.” Founded in 1865, Ottawa University is a nonprofit, private liberal arts university with its original residential campus in Ottawa, Kansas. The professional campus in Phoenix has been educating adult learners in the Valley for more than 40 years and boasts more than 8,000 alumni. Surprise is home to Ottawa University’s second residential campus. Housing at OUAZ features a new residence hall with suite-style, fully furnished rooms. Amenities include cable television and a 55-inch, wall-mounted TV; laundry facilities; student lounges and a game room. Scholars Hall accommodates more than 300 students. Ottawa University offers housing awards for students who hail from the West Valley—Avondale, Buckeye, Deer Valley, El Mirage, Goodyear, Glendale, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Sun City West, Tolleson, Surprise, Waddell,

provide students with work-readiness skills, like resume writing and interviewing. Students need those skills. There’s a focus on world-readiness skills, too. That can be how to buy a house, how to budget, business dinner etiquette and even changing a tire.” Ottawa University prides itself on being a “participatory campus.” Students participate in academic clubs, competitive club sports and varsity athletics. For example, students who participate in the business club gain real-world business experience outside the classroom, while receiving a significant scholarship to help them. “We have ACT, SAT and GPA scholarships, as well as scholarships for the academic and club sports,” Sandusky said. “These are unique and lucrative scholarship opportunities for our students.” Complementing OUAZ’s robust varsity athletic offerings are the university’s competitive club sports. Esports and badminton are starting in the fall. Other programs include ultimate Frisbee, cycling, outdoor adventure, bowling and wrestling. Gone are days of one-size-fits-all scheduling, and OUAZ offers an innovative alternative. “Our exclusive FlexTerm scheduling is one of our biggest distinguishing features,” Sandusky said. “It has been well received by students.” FlexTerm scheduling consists of classes offered in a four-, eight- or 16week term format. Students work with their faculty mentor to assist them with their course scheduling. This flexible format allows them time to study and participate in activities. Visit ottawa.edu/ouaz to learn more about OUAZ’s programming and scholarships. So next semester, remember to “Stay Connected, Stay Local.”

Cartwright Promotes 8th graders in Drive-by Ceremonies A Bittersweet Send 0ff to High School
Last week more than 1,800 8th graders promoted to high school at the Cartwright School District but it didn’t happen like it normally does: in a gymnasium packed with dressed up teenagers in hats and tassels. Instead, 8th grade students decorated their cars and drove through their school to get their certificates and some words of inspiration from their administrators and teachers – all at a safe 6-feet distance. District leadership decided on a drive-through option in the midst of a state-wide school closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “Today is a bittersweet day, we are all super proud and excited for our kids but it’s not the same as being able to give those hugs and congratulate them in person,” said Frank Borman Principal Sierra McCallister while she waited for her students to show up for the promotion ceremony at her school in Maryvale. “Our teachers are out here supporting our kids and our kids light up the second they see that their teachers are here handing them their certificates and letting them know that their yearbook is coming.”
Superintendent Dr. LeeAnn Aguilar-Lawlor
Borman student Daniela Campo admitted the experience was bittersweet. “Today is kind of a sad day because I’m not able to say goodbye in person to my friends and some of my teachers. I understand that our promotion from 8th grade had to be like this for our safety, but it makes me sad that I’m not able to hug my friends or take a picture with them like we would of if COVID-19 had not happened,” said Campo. Cartwright middle schools and K-8 schools welcomed 8th graders with a cheering section, balloons and music playing as students drove-through. “Despite the challenges of this year and the pandemic, we really wanted them to feel special,” said Director of Communications and Community Engagement, Veronica Sanchez. “8th grade promotion is still a milestone for students and our motto is One team, Una Familia. We wanted to celebrate with our family of students.” In a video address to 8th graders Superintendent Dr. LeeAnn Aguilar-Lawlor said, “I am so excited for you. I know these are unprecedented times but you’ve always been on our minds and as you move forward to high school, college, career and beyond, don’t ever forget about us here at Cartwright. Good luck to you!” She also visited several schools during promotions and got to see the students first hand, some of whom wept as they were going through the drive-throughs.” Governing Board President Marissa Hernandez also addressed students on behalf of the board. “All of you are extremely resilient and capable learners. You are putting your education first even through something as challenging as the current situation. We are so proud of you!” said Hernandez. “What made me most proud was how many of them mentioned college and how excited they were for that,” said Dr. Aguilar-Lawlor. Since Dr. Aguilar-Lawlor first came to the district in early 2012, she has made it her mission to implement STEM and college and career programs throughout all grades – even beginning in kindergarten. Every year, the Cartwright School District hosts an 8th grade Kickoff in which students are inspired to go on to college and careers through the help of motivational speakers like ASU wrestling champion Anthony Robles, who won his bouts with one leg. The district’s STEM programs have also been strengthened by the implementation of 3-D printers in which students can actually solve real world problems with engineering and creativity. More extracurricular activities, clubs, field trips and drones that are used for mapping and math were also introduced to students earlier this year before the Covid-19 pandemic hit. The Cartwright School District is currently enrolling students for the 2020-2021 school year. They are accepting 4-year olds for kindergarten as long as they turn 5 by December 31, 2020. The district has the only three “A” rated schools in Maryvale and two dual-language programs. To enroll visit www.csd83.org or call 623-691-4000.

Frustrated? Get a checkup from the neck up In Tim Hansel’s book “You Gotta’ Keep Dancing,” there is a life-lifting poem that has transformed my life when my life becomes frustrating and intense. It’s called “Did You Ever Doodle, Lord?” “Lord, did You ever do something silly just for the fun of it? For example, did You ever sit and doodle in the air floating somewhere before You had this heavy world upon Your hands? Did you ever let Yourself go and take a wild ride across the galaxies or tie up a rainbow in knots without a thought of what someone else might think? Are the platypus and kangaroo a couple of Your favorite jokes that You keep around for laughs? “Come on, God, let’s loosen up the world a bit. Let’s use the fireman’s hose to knock off the hats of all those cats who stiffen up their backs. They think they own this town! Let’s stop traffic for a day. Let’s have a ticker-tape parade for all the orphans we have made. Let’s turn the land into a fair and throw confetti in the air and celebrate that You have come to join us here. Come on, God, let’s go...! “If Jesus Christ means anything, it means He’s one of us, and if His resurrection isn’t just a dream for dying men, then He’s the One who’s come to bring this globe to life again!” In other words, relax, cool your jets, get a checkup from the neck up and take a deep breath. Get out of the

driver’s side of the car and let God drive for a while. If you’re getting too intense, you need to back up and find out where you left Jesus. Like most people, when things get intense, I get emotional. When I get frustrated, angry or fearful; lose perspective; and get darn right obnoxious, sometimes little things that I want become big things I can’t get to when I want them. As my intensity increases, my patience decreases. Then the big things I can’t seem to get to turn into huge things that rob me of strength and joy. I become entangled, like Brer Rabbit, in tar babies of my own making. Does that happen to you, too? Do you get intense? I’m like, “I want this fixed, and I want this fixed now!” Some people would call me weird for that. Do you know what I say about that? “I’m not weird, I’m just exotic!” Learning patience takes a lot of patience! We can’t avoid pain or frustration, but we can avoid joy. Charles Swindoll says life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it. We know this truth, but knowing this truth and applying this truth are
two different things. Here’s a story called “Two Wolves” illuminating times of frustration. One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, “My son, the battle is between two wolves inside of us all. One wolf is evil. It is anger, envy, frustration, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other wolf is good. It is joy, peace, love, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee replied, “The one you feed.” When I get irritable and frustrated, and I do, I have invented what I call the S.T.P.S. Strategy. S.T.P.S. means Stop, Think, Pray and Say. So, I STOP letting my soul and emotions rule. I STOP fighting, STOP fretting and STOP acting out. Now, this takes my cooperation and choosing correctly, along with God’s power. My cooperation with God’s operation takes me beyond the limitations of human strength. It’s my choice but God’s power. When I STOP, it gets me to the calm waters of a clear mind. God’s doodling again! Then, I THINK. I put things in perspective. I get back to where I once belonged. After I have exhausted all
The Glendale
my best efforts to work things out, I allow God to work it out. Tim Hansel says life becomes precious and more special to us when we look for the little everyday miracles and get excited about our privileges of simply being human. Emotions are wonderful servants but terrible masters. In challenging times, thinking must lead, then emotions follow. Then, I PRAY. One kind of prayer is petitioning. I allow God to work out my current situation as well as work in me. PRAYER is mining the resources of God to enable all things to work together for everyone’s benefit. PRAYER gets me out of the way so God can make a way. Most times, the answer to my prayer is me. Finally, I SAY! I confess that God is in control. I SAY God will meet all my needs, not my greed, according to His riches and glory. I SAY what God says in the Scriptures. I SAY God will make a way where there seems no way. I SAY to myself, “Ed, you have quit dancing. You gotta’ keep dancing!” So, just like you would add S.T.P. to your car’s oil, add S.T.P.S. to your life. After all, necessity is the author of change.

Cobra Commanders strike again in robotics BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Cobra Commanders 498, a competitive robotics club based out of Peoria Unified School District’s Cactus High School, was recently awarded two of the most coveted FIRST Robotics Competition awards. In March, the Cobra Commanders received the Chairman’s Award at the 2020 San Diego Regional Competition. The Chairman’s Award is the most prestigious award at FIRST, as it honors the team that best represents a model for other teams to emulate. Adam Shroyer, a Cactus High teacher and coach for the Cobra Commanders, received the Regional Woodie Flowers Award at the 2020 Arizona West Regional Competition. The robotics team also received state, regional and international recognition
in 2019. The Cobra Commanders won the Arizona State Championship, the Arizona West Regional Championship and the Arizona West Engineering Inspiration Award; placed second in a battle of 40 of the best teams in the Western United States; and placed fourth at the World Championships. The Cobra Commanders 498 is a local team of high school students based out of Cactus High School in Glendale that builds internationally recognized competitive robots. As a team, they work together to build large (125-pound) robots that compete in games as a part of FIRST Robotics Competition. For more information about the Cobra Commanders, visit team498.com.
BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Midwestern University is lowering interest rates for its private loan program. “Midwestern University students can apply to finance a portion of their education with the aid of various loan programs, including the Midwestern University Foundation Loan,” according to a press release. The university is reducing the interest rate on the Foundation Loan to 4.45% for all loans that originate and have a first disbursement after July 1.
The program also offers a further 0.25% reduction in interest for students who maintain an active ACH (Automated Clearing House) account for payments, reducing the effective rate to 4.2% while in repayment. “In addition, the Midwestern University Foundation Loans continue to have no origination fees. The Foundation Loans provide eligible full-time Midwestern students who apply and meet the qualifications with an alternative to the Federal Grad PLUS loan program to finance their graduate education,”

Midwestern University lowers loan rate according to the press release. The Federal Grad PLUS loan currently carries a 5.3% interest rate and an origination fee of approximately 4.24% for loans originated subsequent to July 1. “The university decided to lower the interest rate on the Foundation Loans and to continue to have no origination fees to directly benefit our students. The new rate will result in considerable savings throughout their academic career,” said Kathleen H. Goeppinger, president and CEO of Midwestern University.

“Midwestern University is dedicated to providing excellent educational opportunities, and the private student loan program offers a less-expensive borrowing option for our students.” The University also offers many privately funded scholarships that are awarded to students for community service and excellence or based on financial need. Midwestern University has more than 7,000 students on its two campuses, in Glendale and Downers Grove, Illinois.

Tomorrow We Vote looks to register high school students BY ALEXANDRA MORA AND JAIMEE RESNICK
Glendale Star Contributing Writers
Arizona voters are increasingly seen as a pivotal swing vote in national elections, in part due to large-scale grassroots efforts at voter registration over the past few years. Those voter registration drives have been largely aimed at getting young voters and those from minority communities. As the election approaches, many organizations have worked diligently to register many people. Tomorrow We Vote founders Brent Whiting and Andrea Diaz are determined to keep young people engaged through the COVID-19 pandemic. Tomorrow We Vote is a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization that focuses on educating and registering high school students to vote. “We felt that creating Tomorrow We Vote we would have a much more controlled environment by having our presentations in front of students inside the classroom,” Whiting said. Peoria High School has a Tomorrow We Vote club, though due to the COVID-19 crisis, there are limitations of student engagement. “Although digital is where the future is going regardless, to keep their interest just like anybody else you have to
have that person-to-person contact,” Whiting said. “We wanted to reach them where they are, which is on their cell phones, social media.” Sisters Larisa and Elena Andreyeza are volunteers and founders of the Tomorrow We Vote club at Peoria High School. “I think voting is really important because it gives people a voice,” Larisa Andreyeza said. “I would like other Gen Z teens to understand the power they can have in our state and country if they vote.” Before their school was canceled, they registered 80 new voters at Peoria High School in a week and had 12 presentations scheduled for April. “It’s amazing when we see a lot of people taking interest in it, and from that we’ve been able to recruit more people to come help us,” Larisa said. “It’s really great to see how interested people get.” The Andreyeza sisters believe participating in civic engagement plays a large factor in creating change and advocating for marginalized groups. Both are very passionate in environmental, immigrant, health care and incarceration issues. “I think it is really amazing because I can change that with my vote,” Larisa said.
Hugs from Home is a new service that allows those not able to attend funeral services the chance to share a token of love and support with grieving families. Your hearfelt note will be attached to balloons that will fill the chapel with your presence and love. Families will be able to read your heartfelt message and know that you are there in spirit.
