Shanelle Bates said she believes angels are looking over her. She and her husband, Matthew Kunowski, are recovering from injuries sustained when their Jeep skidded off a Tonto National Forest road and rolled 80 feet down a cliff. “When I started to see us fall, I knew we were done. I knew we were going to die,” said Bates, who lives in Glendale. “It’s really given me a different perspective on life because we shouldn’t have made it out of that.” Bates and Kunowski were driving back to their cabin after picking up groceries from

a Walmart in Payson. Kunowski “looked away for a split second,” causing the vehicle to plunge down a dark slope. “After we had rolled over, we had to climb back up 80 feet just to get to the road,” she said. “I got up there first, and I told him, ‘Follow my voice and get up here.’ He wasn’t able to, and I told him, ‘Find that inner strength and get up here.’ I wasn’t going to leave him here. I wasn’t going to do this alone. He finally ended up getting up there with me.” Bates said she and her husband held onto each other and started to walk. In those moments, she wasn’t thinking of anything else but getting Kunowski to safety. “I knew he was in bad shape, but I

couldn’t tell because I couldn’t see. It was literally pitch black out there. I told him, ‘We’re just going to walk until we can’t walk anymore.’” Two hours later, they were found and airlifted to a Scottsdale hospital. Bates suffered a broken right collarbone and a 5-inch laceration on her left arm that will require surgery. She was discharged two days after the accident. Kunowski, who as of July 3 was out of the intensive care unit, “shattered his chin, broke both sides of his jaw, cracked each side of his cheek bones, broke his C7 (vertebra) and multiple ribs,” Bates said.

Glendale City Council voted 6-1 to raise water and sewer rates 6.5% on January 1, 2020, and again on January 1, 2021. This means a $3.30 increase per month—or about $40 per year—for the average user. Sewer rates are slated to go up 0.5% for each of those years, said Assistant City Manager Vicki Rio. Rios said the council must balance keeping the public’s cost down and the need for better water infrastructure. Vice Mayor Joyce Clark said Glendale has SEE RATES PAGE 9

Weiers elected to MAG’s Regional Council BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Regional Council of the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) has unanimously elected Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers as chairman of the Transportation Policy Committee (TPC). Mayor Kate Gallego of Phoenix will serve as vice chairwoman. Weiers also serves as the vice chairman of the Regional Council Executive Committee and on the MAG Regional Council. “Transportation infrastructure remains a key priority to our citizens and business community,” said Weiers, who was previously chairman in 2015. “As the economy continues to grow and businesses move across the Valley, it is absolutely critical that we continue to make responsible transportation decisions that shape the future of our transportation network.” MAG is a council of governments and metropolitan planning organization founded in 1967. It provides a regional forum for discussion, analysis and resolution of regional issues, including transportation, air quality, economic development and human

and providing oversight for the implementation of Proposition 400. As he accepted the gavel, Mitchell said a major focus will be on development of the next long-range transportation plan. “I believe we have a great opportunity, as we move toward a new regional transportation plan, to serve as champions for the extension of Prop 400. The economic benefits of these transportation investments are critical to the future of our region,” Mitchell said. Other priorities for the year ahead will be to build upon the work of MAG on issues of homelessness, domestic violence and aging. Officers are elected for one-year terms. Mayor Mitchell will lead the organization for the next year and will preside over the MAG Executive Committee. The Executive Committee serves as MAG’s finance committee and holds many administrative responsibilities, such as amendments to the budget and contract selections.

Arizona Coyotes spend day helping 100 Club BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF As part of a recent day in the community for the 38 prospects attending the Coyotes’ development camp, four athletes — Victor Soderstrom, Barrett Hayton, John Farinacci and Brayden Burke — spent an afternoon serving lunch at the Scottsdale Fire Department. Their cooking skills were put to the test as they prepared a delectable entree and dessert for a number of police officers and firefighters prior to Coyotes President and CEO Ahron Cohen’s check presentation to the 100 Club of Arizona. Coupled with the players’ day of community service was a $50,000 donation made to the 100 Club of Arizona, the latest step in a continually growing relationship to benefit the men and women that serve the state of Arizona. “It’s such a wonderful organization, they do so many great things for our community and any little bit that we can do to help we’re very proud to participate in,” Cohen said of the Coyotes’ partnership with the 100 Club of Arizona. “They honor so many great men and women who serve our state here, and it’s just wonderful to participate.” Community service in itself is a huge aspect of development camp, when an entire day is devoted to the players helping out at local institutions. “It’s a core pillar for everything that we do, we want to positively impact our community and make a big difference and establish this for the young guys too,” Cohen said. “When they’re join-

ing our club, we want to show them what it means to be a Coyote, and part of that is about making a significant impact in our community.” Angela Harrolle, the president and CEO of the 100 Club Arizona, knows more than anyone how far a donation can go, and what it can do to have a positive impact on the first responders her nonprofit organizations serves. “The support from the Coyotes Foun-

dation is really, really important to us because we can only do what we do every day because of donations like this,” Harrolle said. “We can only give away what we get in, so when we have wonderful teams like the Coyotes come in and say, ‘Hey, we want to support the 100 Club of Arizona,’ we’re thrilled because it helps people to know that there is an organization like ours giving back to police officers, firefighters,

correction officers, so that they know they’re supported on many different levels.” Scottsdale’s fire chief, Tom Shannon, was able to find some time to enjoy the company of the Coyotes prospects, have a nice meal and reﬂect on the day’s donation. “We really appreciate it. I know that their gift today was to the 100 Club of Arizona, but our folks benefit directly from that gift,” he said. “We’re direct benefactors to everything that the 100 Club of Arizona does, whether it’s line of duty issues, injury on the line of duty, or sadly some of the illnesses and afﬂictions that will impact first responders.” Scottsdale’s chief of police, Alan Rodbell, shared a few feelings in regard to the day’s events as well. “It’s a wonderful thing to have that support from an organization like the Coyotes,” he said. “It’s very critical because this is a private nonprofit. They rely on donations and support, and what the Coyotes have done as an organization is very, very special, and we very much appreciate it, and the continued support is awesome.” Along with the day’s festivities at the Scottsdale Fire Department, Coyotes prospects from development camp also gave back with community service at HopeKids, Phoenix Rescue Mission, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Tempe Fire Department, Gila River Community, Boys & Girls Club of the East Valley, and the Arizona Science Center.

Urban irrigation rate increasing more than $45 BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Glendale Star Staff Writer

Glendale City Council voted unanimously June 25 to increase the urban irrigation rate by $45.46 annually starting in August. The increase will allow the city to evenly split the cost to maintain, inspect, operate and monitor urban irrigation systems with its 300 customers. The customers are primarily downtown from Northern Avenue to Ocotillo Road, and 65th Avenue to 53rd Avenue. Urban irrigation refers to the direct delivery of untreated Salt River Project irrigation water to locations in urbanized areas, according to city officials. Urban irrigation is not available in newer neighborhoods. The increases will continue with April 1, 2020, and April 1, 2021, bills. Mayor Jerry Weiers, whose home has an urban irrigation system, said the public should focus on the resolution’s benefits, rather than the increase. “Don’t look at it as the price going up,” he said. “It’s guaranteeing we are going to have water and not wasting water for years to come, which actually increases the value of your property. I don’t think it’s fair to ask the entire city to participate in paying that.”

Barrel District Councilman Bart Turner stressed the importance of maintaining the urban irrigation system in Glendale. He said the urban irrigation system is part of Glendale’s history and there was a community value attached to it. “We need to keep it in good repair. We need to keep supplying the water and spend the lifeblood of the Valley and that’s why people came here in the first place; because we have irrigation. Without it, none of us would be here,” Turner said. Vice Mayor Joyce Clark of the Yucca District said she has lived in a neighborhood that uses an urban irrigation system. She said when the system failed in the past, everyone on the street was assessed for the repairs. “The Salt River Project does not pay our bills, nor does the city when repairs are required,” Clark said. “I don’t think the city is in the business of subsidizing an area of Glendale for their water.” Weiers said it’s the customers’ responsibility to remove debris and trash from the irrigation system’s ditches. “I know if I’m going to get my water, that’s my responsibility,” he said. “The neighborhood where I’m at. We have about a mile and a half of open ditch and pipe that we’re responsible for.”

Glendale police arrest man Glendale police arrest 3 after double homicide after homicide, robberies BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF

Brandon Andres Bautista Torres of Glendale was arrested July 1 in connection with the homicide of his girlfriend and a 4-year-old girl. Torres, 24, was charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Selina Toyos, 23, and her daughter. He was booked into Maricopa County Jail. One of the residents’ family members called police to report there was a double shooting near 5500 N. 61st Lane in Glendale. Police forced entry into the home and spotted two deceased victims. The suspect told officers an intruder shot the two victims, according to Glendale police. Throughout the investigation, Torres said he took his 1-year-old child to his parents’ home in Surprise, covered the victims and barricaded the front door because he was afraid the invader was going to return. Torres said he didn’t call 9-1-1 because he didn’t want to be blamed for the homicides.

Three men were arrested July 1 after Glendale police responded to reports of a homicide and multiple robberies in the same area. Arrested were E’Marquis Beasley and Nathan Gamez, both 18, and a 15-year-old, whose name was not released. They were charged with first-degree murder, two counts of armed robbery and two counts of aggravated robbery in Glendale. At approximately 5:47 a.m. June 29, Glendale police responded to reports of a suspect lying on the roadway near 51st Avenue and Bethany Home Road. The subject, 41-year-old Osmin Aristides Diaz, was fatally shot. At the homicide scene, the police were informed of two robberies involving a silver Dodge truck. Police were told of another robbery near 5600 W. Glenn Drive. During that incident, a suspect pointed a gun at a victim and took his personal belongings. The three took the victim’s cellphone, which showed they were in Phoenix. The charges are related to the crimes that occurred within Glendale, police said. Phoenix Police Detectives have partnered with Glendale detectives to conduct their investigation into related crimes in their jurisdiction.

not increased the water rates for about 10 years. The change is beneficial for Glendale’s future, she added. “I understand the need for the rate increase because we have committed to so many remedial capital projects,” Clark said. Clark sympathized with the senior population and said the council must discuss possible solutions to help those who need assistance with water bills. “Seniors are on a fixed income. They don’t get 4.5% rate increases in social security every year, and many seniors rely upon social security as their only source of income,” Clark said. “I’m going to ask at our next workshop that we explore something, I don’t know what it will be, but some methodology to provide some kind of relief to our senior-age population. “I think we can afford it, quite frankly, I think it’s the moral thing to do.” Councilman Ray Malner said the city is working on a solution to provide relief to seniors. “The water department came back with a proposal to put money into an account that any citizen in the city who needs assistance with their water rate,” he said. “I would implore all those who are on a fixed income to at least explore that and take a look and see if they qualify.” Councilman Bart Turner added the city does have a utility assistance program to help those with financial limitations and encourages those individuals to contact the water department to see if they qualify. Although Turner was sympathetic toward seniors, but he did stress the importance of keeping younger generations in mind when providing tax breaks. “If we give all seniors a (tax) break, that means everybody else, including young families just trying to start out in life, single moms with kids, or whatever, their rates are going to go up and it’s going to be harder for them,” Turner said. “So, council to council, if we do anything down the road, let’s keep it needs-based rather than age-based and with that I vote aye.”

– Mayor Jerry Weiers Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff agreed with most of the council about the need for better water infrastructure and the increase in water rates. Ocotillo District Councilman Jamie Aldama voted against the resolution. He said the city should pay close attention to how it is spending money in its districts. “In my opinion, the city needs to start expanding its tax payers’ dollars equitably throughout the city,” Aldama said. “I don’t feel enough is being spent in the Southern district. I couldn’t in good conscience raise the water rates for my constituents.” Aldama said the city lacks spending in areas like parks and community centers. “We need to start looking at expanding dollars more thoughtfully in our district,” Aldama said. Mayor Jerry Weiers agreed with the increase. “Some of our lines are getting older and we have to maintain those,” he said. Weiers shared an experience from his time in Texas. He said the town had a reservoir, and its water would contaminate the city’s water system during the summers. It caused the water department to introduce an abundance of chemicals to the city’s water. Weiers said the smell was too strong for the average person, and is a situation he does not want to see again. “I certainly remember the smell of that water and it was horrible and I don’t ever want to see this city get into a situation where any of you have to put up with that,” Weiers said.

Leibo: Since you didn’t ask, here are my opinions BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

The argument came out of nowhere. One minute we were driving, debating where to get lunch. The next minute, my buddy — who apparently feels strongly about restaurants — was ready to punch me in the larynx. The sin that occasioned his outrage? My opinion about Chick-fil-A. And I quote: “Ah, Chick-fil-A sucks.” His defense of America’s third-largest fast food restaurant was pure poetry, a passionate ode to the joy of 100 percent breast meat served with dill pickle chips on a toasted and buttered bun. To hear him tell it, Adam and Eve wouldn’t have lasted six seconds in the Garden of Eden had it featured waffle potato fries — cooked in canola oil! — as opposed to an apple. And Chick-filA’s lemonade? Made from real lemon juice, it’s the nectar of the gods. Me, I’m just not a huge fan of chicken. I enjoy debates, however, and this faceoff started me cataloguing my various unpopular opinions. We all have them: Personal truths that fly in the face of humanity’s con-

sensus. Typically, we keep these opinions to ourselves because to reveal them is to risk a fight or being shunned by our peers. Doubt me? When the holidays roll around this year, mention how you think Star Wars is overrated. Cousin Luke — the one with the fraternal twins named Anakin and Leia — will attack you with a carving knife. My unpopular opinions? Here’s a sampler: The rules of the road should not grant bicyclists the same rights as automobile drivers. A human-propelled vehicle going 14 mph piloted by a skinny old guy in skintight pink Lycra should not compete for space with 4,000-pound vehicles going three times that speed. Bicycles should be restricted to bike paths and off-road trails — or sidewalks, where bicyclists’ rights should be secondary to the rights of pedestrians. Giving up is a valid option. Everywhere in our culture, you see testaments to “hanging in there,” striving long past the point of reason. I’ve seen friends spend years in toxic relationships and dead-end jobs that bring them the bare minimum of satis-

faction and joy. Why? Because they’ve been programmed to see quitting as weakness, a sign of failure, a shameful lack of intestinal fortitude. I’m not endorsing bailing at the first sign of trouble or challenge. But giving up, far from demonstrating weakness, often represents an act of strength, wisdom and self-affirmation. Some moments in life call not for “putting in the work,” but for merciful endings and new beginnings. “Seinfeld,” endlessly touted as a “show about nothing,” was nothing special. Friends and colleagues still begin sentences with “That reminds me of the Junior Mint episode!” Get over it. Seinfeld’s final episode aired in 1998. Jerry’s antics have gotten less funny by the hour ever since. And finally: Journalism should require a license. Barbers need 1,500 hours of training, to pass a state exam and earn a license from the Arizona Board of Barbers. Attorneys do three years of graduate education. They pass the bar exam and get licensed by the State Bar. Doctors face an eternity of school, a residency and continuing education, plus career-long governance by the Arizona Medical Board. Reporters, meanwhile, face no requirements at all, including knowledge

of the subjects they cover or accountability to a code of ethics. When these self-proclaimed guardians of the public interest screw up, you know what your recourse is? A big fat nada. At the very least, if an Arizona Journalism Commission existed, you could file a professional complaint about this column. Which would bother me a lot more than the time I gave in and suffered through a spicy deluxe sandwich at Chick-fil-A. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

Epic Wings brings San Diego flair to Glendale BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Wendy and Pat Crain lived in San Diego for 30 years, managing Belmont Park, a historic amusement park in Mission Bay. When they retired, they wanted to do something more. The couple relocated to Arizona and introduced Glendale to Epic Wings N’ Things in mid-June. “We had to go through a lot of interviews, because they wanted to make sure they could trust whoever was expanding it to a different state, as most of the spots there in San Diego are family owned,” Wendy said. “We had so much experience managing the park and dealing with the food service and everything, so it worked out.” Upper management agreed. “As a Phoenix native, I know our community will love the California-fresh design and Epic Wings’ menu. There is truly nothing like it,” said Rob Streett, president and chief operating officer. With oldies rock anthems playing in the background, and a California beach vibe, the Glendale shop at 95th Avenue and Camelback Road provides a unique experience for diners.

Newman)

Boasting a small and simple-but-delicious menu, chicken is the main star of just about every dish. A typical single meal (starting at just over $8) consists of a choice of four tenders, five boneless wings or six bone-in wings covered in a variety of sauce choices, along with oven-fresh breadsticks and

celery and carrot sticks. The double meal ($17) does exactly what it suggests: It doubles the portions of the single meal. The chicken often takes a few extra minutes than other spots to cook, because Epic Wings does not freeze its meat, and cooks fresh. Crain said the first question she often hears from Arizona patrons regards the breadsticks. It is certainly an unusual side with breaded chicken in the area. “In California you use it to sop up the sauce at the end. People might be hesitant at first, but they try them, and it’s delicious. We now get people who come in just to order the breadsticks

(79 cents for two, $3.95 for six and $7.45 for a dozen) alone,” Crain said. Other items include “Epic chicken fries” (normally around $8), which are fresh-cut fries with chicken, cheese and a spicy chipotle-ranch dressing drizzle and typical fountain drinks. When she entered the San Diego restaurant 15 years ago, Crain did not even eat breaded chicken. Her first time trying the tenders with buffalo sauce, she was hooked. “Now I love the tenders. They’re something I recommend to people all the time that’s different from what you might get at other wing places,” she said. It’s been about a month since the opening and the Crain family is still getting settled in the area. But, there are plans to open two more Maricopa County franchises, though official locations have not been set. “We love it, and we think people that try our product will enjoy it just as much,” she said.

Can super cooling lower electrical bills? BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF With temperatures rising in Arizona, air conditioners are running nonstop. This can pull serious electricity, sending bills soaring. As a result, everyone looks for ways to keep cool without spending a fortune What is super cooling? Super cooling means lowing the temperature of a home during off-peak electricity hours. By bringing your home as close to 70 degrees as possible before 3 p.m., it has a better chance of staying cool all evening. Whether you need to avoid using power during SRP’s peak times of 3 to 7 p.m., or you’re avoiding APS’ peak times of 3 to 8 p.m., super cooling can

work. “I set my house to 70 degrees during the day,” explained Mark Stevens of Forrest Anderson Plumbing and Air Conditioning. “But between 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., my thermostat is set to 84. That 14-degree difference will rarely be achieved in that time period, which means my A/C unit should never turn on during peak electricity hours. As a result, my house is cool when I get home, plus my electricity bill is reduced.” Most experts agree it’s best to cool homes to 72 degrees by noon, going down to between 68 to 70 degrees by 3 p.m. when electricity rates go up. From 3 to 8 p.m., the thermostat SEE COOLING PAGE 13

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Hello, readers! Welcome back to Business Briefcase, the column for all your West Valley business needs. From new businesses to construction, acquisitions, networking and even closings, there’s always something going on in Glendale. This week I figure I should give you notice that there will be a lapse in the Briefcase for next week. After that hiatus, however, the column will be back with more great happenings. In the meantime, let’s get into some new businesses and more. Here’s the news! First up, you may recall my mention of Mijana West from earlier this year. Well, it is open for those who have not yet stopped by. If you have not yet heard of it, Mijana West is a spin-off of the Tempe-based Mijana Grill, billed as “Authentic Lebanese at Its Best.” For more information, visit mijanaonline. com.

and Washington, where most of its locations are, but it is now growing in stature in California, Colorado, Nevada, Idaho and Arizona. Keeping in line with that growth, Black Rock recently opened at 6805 W. Bell Road. For more information, visit br.coffee or find it on Facebook @blackrockaz. A store with coffee, apparel and more is even available online. Next up, we haven’t covered a food truck here yet, have we? Well, if not, why not start now? Tacos al Pastor advertises its spot as 6604 W. Olive Avenue, at the northeast corner of 67th and Olive avenues. It offers a variety of bites, from tacos to burritos, nachos, quesadillas and more. And despite being new, this Mexican food truck must be popping, as it’s already looking to expand elsewhere, according to a recent Facebook post. For more infor-

mation, or just to see what the hubbub is about, find it on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat @ tacosalpastoraz. And finally, the new Arizona Christian University campus, on the former Thunderbird campus, is gearing up for an open house event from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 23.

COOLING FROM PAGE 12

should be set to go on at 80 to 84 degrees, keeping the AC unit off during peak hours. Of course, if someone is home during the day, the colder temperatures might make the home less comfortable. Thus, it might not be an ideal solution for everyone, for example stay-at-home moms or retired households. Will super cooling hurt your AC unit? Most AC units are designed to keep a house cooled to around 74 to 76 degrees. As a result, super cooling is often said to put more of a strain on a unit. Stevens, though, compares this to driving a car in traffic versus taking a road trip. Cars are more efficient when driving for the long period on the highway, but the vehicle is still running for 10 to 12 hours. Similarly, having a unit on all day to maintain a standard temperature might be more consistent, but the difference in wear and tear will be the same as doing super cooling. “While super cooling can save money for anyone, you may need to upgrade your equipment to reap the rewards,” said Audrey Monell, CEO of Forrest Anderson Plumbing and Air Conditioning.

“Unless you’re at home to check the thermostat, you’ll need a programable one to ensure it turns on and off at the right times. Additionally, upgrading your air conditioning unit to a more efficient model could help you save even more money long term.” Experts agree motors and exhausts running during the hottest times of the day such as the late afternoon are more likely to burn out. As a result, super cooling could be even more beneficial as your unit won’t be running at those times. That said, it’s still always best to have your AC unit checked out by a professional, especially if you’re planning to keep it running when you’re not at home. Yes, super cooling can be worthwhile Super cooling can appear to be counter intuitive because you’re cooling your house when you’re not there. Then again, when you come home in the evening, it also means that you’re not cranking up the AC and hoping the house cools down in time. Instead, you can enjoy a cool house, and a lower electricity bill, with most users who switch to super cooling lowering their bill by about 30%.

Cactus football coach brings young age, experience BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Mason Crossland could not stay away from the high school football field for long. The recent Higley graduate, who threw for 40 touchdowns and over 3,000 yards his senior year, recorded his last high school win on November 10, 2016, against west-side rival Cactus High School, and graduated in 2017. Fast-forward just a couple years to this June and Crossland was hired, at just age 20, as quarterback coach and co-offensive coordinator for those same Cobras. After serving alma mater Higley as the JV offensive coordinator last season, Crossland wanted to take a step up to the varsity level. He called Cactus coach Joseph Ortiz, the former Higley

offensive coordinator during Crossland’s playing days, and the connection made sense instantly. “Ever since my sophomore year, he (Ortiz) was really the first coach I had a tremendous connection with. I’ve always just been able to talk to him about anything, and even after high school it stayed the same,” Crossland said. Having run Ortiz’s offense, he was, in a sense, already helping with coaching duties during his playing days. Ortiz can relate to the young coach, having started his own coaching career at 19. More importantly, there is a long-established rapport between the two that could lead to success on the offensive end. “He knows this offense as well as I do, and now he’s another set of eyes for me and will help developing our quarterbacks. I have all the trust in the

world,” Ortiz said. Rather viewing it as a hindrance, Cactus senior quarterback Conner Cordts sees the small age gap — Crossland will be no more than two or three years older than many of the Cobra seniors — as a positive. The two can talk about Crossland’s recent past as a player, and Cordts can ask questions about exactly what each drill and play call are meant to accomplish. “I love the fact that Coach Crossland is young. It’ll help build our relationship as QB and QB coach because we can relate to so much more. And he can give me tips and quality in- Higley graduate Mason Crossland was hired as the Cactus formation he saw firsthand quarterback coach and co-offensive coordinator at age 20.

Crossland said he hopes the offense has the potential to break records en route to wins and, more importantly, spark a long playoff run in 4A. The Cobras exited last season’s playoffs in a blowout loss to eventual-champion Saguaro. Mostly, he is excited to get back on the field that shaped him so much. “This offense is open for so many opportunities,” Crossland said. “It’s going to be fantastic.” Mason Crossland escapes the pocket for Higley football in 2016.

Possibility open for NHL outdoor game at Sun Devil Stadium

(there),” Mayer said. “We look at proper venues, time of the year, weather. Arizona is extremely warm and that is something we would have to take into account.” The league hasn’t officially looked into Arizona, Mayer said, although Cohen admitted he has been “lobbying in the commissioner’s ear all the time.” In the past, the Coyotes have suggested hosting an outdoor game around the Super Bowl. Although warm weather would be a challenge, the NHL has a sophisticated mobile ice-making system. The average highs and lows in Phoenix during January are 68 degrees and 45 degrees, respectively, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “(We’re) getting better and making ice in extreme temperatures,” Mayer said. “It has to be a factor in looking at the warmer places.” A major factor in the possible arrival

of the Winter Classic in Arizona is securing a commitment from a football stadium’s operators to halt football for nearly a month. “For the Winter Classic, if you are to play a venue that houses the NFL team, they would have to move out,” Mayer said. “We need the venue for over three weeks.” Sun Devil Stadium doesn’t host NFL games anymore but has recently expanded its use outside of college games. Cohen sees great value in the possibility of an outdoor game. “I think what you have seen is these (outdoor games) now are a tremendous economic provider for the entire community and they bring in tourists and it’s just great for the entire community,” Cohen said. The league and the Coyotes haven’t had official discussions but the possibility remains, Mayer said. “Never say never to any team,” he said.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Arizona Coyotes have inked contracts with an assistant coach and special assistant to the general manager. Phil Housley signed a multiyear contract to serve as an assistant coach on head coach Rick Tocchet’s staff. As per club policy, terms of the contracts were not disclosed. “Phil is a great addition to our coaching staff,” said John Chayka, the Arizona Coyotes’ president of hockey operations and general manager.

“His experience as a player, combined with his success overseeing defensive units, make him a perfect fit for this job. We’re all excited to work with him and leverage his knowledge of the game to make us better.” Tocchet called Housley a “tremendous coach and his experience and knowledge of the game will be invaluable to our defensemen.” Housley served as the Buffalo Sabres head coach for the past two years. The 55-year-old native of St. Paul, Minnesota, previously spent four seasons as

an assistant coach for the Nashville Predators, helping guide the team to their first Stanley Cup appearance in 2017. “I would like to thank John Chayka and Rick Tocchet for this opportunity to join the Coyotes organization,” Housley said. “I played with Rick and John MacLean, and I look forward to working with them and a fantastic coaching staff. I’m very passionate about developing young players and winning, and I look forward to coaching a very tal-

As the Coyotes continue to evolve with new ownership and new personnel, the team’s president suggested another new opportunity could be in store: an NHL outdoor game in Arizona, possibly at Sun Devil Stadium. During the Coyotes’ town hall meeting June 28, team president and CEO Ahron Cohen said he liked the idea of the Winter Classic, or another outdoor game, coming to the Valley. “I don’t think there is a better location than Sun Devil Stadium for an outdoor game,” Cohen said. The Winter Classic’s first game was in 2008 at Ralph Wilson Stadium, home to the Buffalo Bills. Since the addition of outdoor games (the Winter Classic, the Heritage Classic and the Stadium Series), eight teams that still have not had the chance to play in one of the NHL’s newest series. Arizona wouldn’t be the first warm-weather state to host an outdoor game. The Anaheim Ducks and Los Angeles Kings met at Dodger Stadium in 2014, and the Kings and San Jose Sharks played at Northern California’s Levi Stadium in 2015. The Dallas Stars will play in the 2020 Winter Classic at the Cotton Bowl and face the Nashville Predators. The process of deciding where an outdoor game is played can take over a year, said Steve Mayer, the NHL’s executive vice president of events and content. “In terms of the process, we explore over the course of the year numerous venues and opportunities and check out the viability to do an outdoor game

Most notably, he served as the head coach when Team USA won the gold medal at the 2013 IIHF World Junior Championship. A seven-time NHL All-Star (1984, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 2000), Housley won a gold medal at the 1996 World Cup of Hockey and a silver medal at the 2002 Winter Olympic games with Team USA.

Community members discover Phoenix rocks BY KATIE SAWYER

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Valley residents are doing a double take on usually mundane rocks while traversing parks, concert halls and trails. Snuggled between their earth-tone brethren were colorfully designed and meticulously painted rocks. On the backs of all of them was a similar message. “You found me! Post on F.B. Phx Hidden Rocks, keep or rehide,” read one rock. “Phx Hidden Rocks” Facebook group was founded two and a half years ago by Dawn Bricking and her husband, Thomas. The rocky affair started when Thomas found a painted rock while on vacation in his hometown of Cincinnati, and had fun participating in the rock group there. When they returned to Peoria, they thought, Why not start a group themselves? “We really liked the idea and didn’t really see any solid groups out here that were doing anything of this nature so we decided to start one of our own, and it took off pretty quickly,” Dawn said. The page works like this: Anybody can paint a rock with their preferred design or message, and then either post clues of the rock’s location to the Phx Hidden Rocks group page or let others find it on their own. “Once the rock is found, they can either keep the rock for themselves or they can go and hide it again and post it with more clues,” Dawn said. “So, the more people who get involved, the more people who we have joining in a group and being able to stumble upon the rocks.” When the group began, Dawn and Thomas painted and placed the rocks. “It was mostly me and my husband putting out probably 200 or 300 rocks before anybody else started participating,” she said. “But we’ve gotten quite a few more members now that are putting out rocks almost on a daily basis.” One of Dawn’s favorite rocks was one she painted to look like Stitch from the Disney movie “Lilo & Stitch.” Other members have gone all out, with one

person painting a series of Disney princesses and villains. The rocks contain messages like “You make the world a better place” and “Don’t let anyone ever dull your sparkle.” To help fuel the fun, Dawn has held rock-painting events at a local library, offering painting advice and giving away a rock-painting kit. Since then, over the last six months, the page has expanded and members are regularly posting their finds to the page. Dawn hopes to do another event soon, but she laments that the library might not be big enough for the growing group. The rocks from participants end up all over the Valley and beyond, though

most rocks seem to appear in the Peoria and Glendale areas. Parks, libraries and public sports facilities seem to be the most popular places to find the hidden gems. “It seems to be (Peoria is) the concentration where most people live that seem to find them, but they’re definitely throughout the Valley,” Dawn explained. “I know my husband and I. We have a tendency to travel all around, so we’ll randomly leave (them in) Downtown, Chandler, Tempe. We venture out quite a bit.” There are more than a dozen rock groups on Facebook in the Valley, including Scottsdale Hide & Seek Rocks,

Ahwatukee Rocks, Goodyear Rocks, Surprise AZ Rocks, Buckeye painted Rocks, Mesa/Gilbert Rocks and Chandler Kindness Rocks. Phoenix rocks have been discovered worldwide. On June 12, a rock was found on Maui. Two more were located in Colorado and Oregon, the latter found on the beach. “Granddaughter found this cutie in Winchester Bay, Oregon hidden on the shore in a driftwood pile. Her smile says it all. It will make the journey back to Idaho,” wrote Cecelia Lawrence in a June 22 post to the page. One rock made the journey across the pond to Lincoln, England, where it resides in a lush green garden. Alice Weaver has been a member of the page since December 2018. She discovered it after finding rocks in Phoenix and Goodyear. “I had found a rock and I thought, well that’s kind of cool and I kind of didn’t think about it again. Then when I went hiking, I found another rock and I thought, you know what, I could do this,” she said. “The rest is history.” Weaver estimates she has found 30 rocks and painted 300 to 400 rocks in return. Her favorite thus far has been a mini-series she painted based on the musical “Wicked.” She also enjoyed Sylvester, the cat from “Sylvester and Tweety.” She hasn’t seen too many of her rocks – only about 25 – returned to the page. But Weaver said, for her, it doesn’t matter as much if people post the found rocks on the page. She wants to know how people feel when they stumble upon her paintings. “I was just looking for ways to make people happy because when I found those two rocks I thought, You know what, that brought me joy. Why can’t I do the same for other people? You know, one rock at a time,” she said. Dawn agreed and said that philosophy is why pages like this are so successful. People enjoy a little dose of kindness. “We want to be able to have people have something that brightens their day,” Dawn said.

Comedienne Alycia Cooper to perform at Stir Crazy BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Alycia Cooper has been a performer since the time she could walk, but she never expected to become a comedienne. She tested her comedic chops on a family who loved to laugh with and at each other. She remembers imitations of drunken family members at gatherings, as well as telling the occasional knock-knock joke before she even started grade school. “That’s how we connected, because there were so many funny and eclectic people,” said Cooper, who performs at Stir Crazy Comedy Club in Glendale Thursday, July 18, to Saturday, July 20. “You had to have thick skin and hold your own, because nothing was off-limits.” Cooper was always into entertainment, having worked in TV production for years. Stand-up comedy wasn’t her goal. Inspired by the HBO series “Def Comedy Jam,” which launched the careers of several black comedians, she simply thought it might be a fun thing to try. She went on stage at an open mic

ing the stage again. A TV partner encouraged her to try again, this time with some prepared material, and she caught the comedy bug. Now, Cooper has many regular tour spots throughout the country, with her often clean and identifiable brand of humor. She even has traveled across the Atlantic to military bases to perform for soldiers around the world. Those are some of her favorite gigs. “They are so appreciative of any entertainment they can get there. It’s so far away to get to those bases, but it’s really rewarding every time,” she said.

However, stand-up still holds a special place in her heart—whether she’s opening for Dave Chappelle or Whitney Cummings, or headlining Stir Crazy Comedy Club. Cooper said she feels her material matures as she ages. She focuses on current events and universal principles everybody can find funny. “I’m really excited.

Volkswagen Tiguan SUV BY C. A. HAIRE

Glendale Star Columnist

Shopping for an SUV featuring three-row seating will present plenty of choices. Attempting to find one with a low price tag offers few choices. This brings us to the Volkswagen Tiguan. With a starting price of only $24,000, this small vehicle has three-row seating and is rated for seven passengers. With options like bright orange paint, electronics and minor goodies, our total tab was still reasonable at $26,000. This includes a new six-year/72,000-mile factory warranty. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine rated at 184 horsepower, and hooked to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The fuel economy is listed at 22/29 mpg. All-wheel drive is available for maximum traction, but raises the price, and uses more fuel. The interior of the Tiguan is nothing fancy, but the materials and workmanship are good enough. All of the controls are very simple and easy to operate. The climate control consists of three plain knobs and a few buttons. The gauge cluster provides lots

of useful information. The third- and second-row seats can be folded down, giving 66 cubic feet of storage space. The glove box has plenty of storage room as well. That brings us to the complaints. There are two. First, the key-operated ignition system is clumsy to use, requiring two turns to start the car instead of one. Secondly, the driver’s sun visor can slide back to block out sun rays from the side window, but the passenger sun visor will not. There doesn’t seem to be any logic to this arrangement, but that’s the way it is. We put 600 miles on this Tiguan in one week. The engine offers plenty of passing ability, and ride comfort and handling is very good. The worst fuel economy was 19 mpg in heavy city driving. On highway trips between Avondale and Tucson, the average was 31 mpg while cruising at 75 mph. That is better than the 29 mpg claimed by VW, so that’s impressive. In fact, for the money, the Tiguan is impressive overall. Those seeking an SUV that holds seven people without breaking the bank should give this vehicle a look.

When ‘who moved my cheese’ happens Have you ever considered that good changes can come from crisis or even dry times in your life? Perhaps God is saying, “Hey, I love you, but now it’s time to change directions and locations because I’m repositioning you. Let’s get you to the place where you can say, ‘Wow. I was born for this!’” How important is it to be in the right spot or the wrong spot? Read this. Heaven is where the police are British, the chefs are Italian, the mechanics are German, the lovers are French and it’s all organized by the Swiss. Hell is where the police are German, the chefs are British, the mechanics are French, the lovers are Swiss and it’s all organized by the Italians. Enough said. There is a book written on this idea. It’s called “Who Moved My Cheese” and it’s a bestseller. Why? Because there’s a lot of cheese being moved

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

around these days! Like a rat in a maze, the location of our cheese or “success” has changed. Someone moved our cheese! Don’t panic; the cheese is there. We just need to change directions and ﬁnd it again. Many have experienced great success in an area, and then suddenly that success disappears. That’s when the 50-50-90 rule visits us. The 50-50-90 rule goes like this. Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% chance you will get it wrong.

If you are the person whose cheese has moved, could it be God wants to move us to another place? I’m not saying you should quit. Sometimes we need to persevere. But sometimes sound wisdom dictates a change in our direction, our career or whatever. Most times, it’s more courageous to let go then to continue doing the same thing, again and again, expecting different results. Consider this example. A motorist was talking about all the trouble he’s had driving to and from work lately. It used to be easy, he said. No trafﬁc problems, no mad rat race. But now cars are coming from all directions. “And, it’s been that way ever since I got my new glasses,” he added. Once he got his vision renewed, he became aware he was a danger to himself and others. God graciously protected him from learning the lesson that present victories often carry in them the seeds of future defeats. Even the early Apostles in the Bible learned that there is such a time as “this” and such a time as “that.” Let’s glean from what the Apostle Paul learned about in changing directions and locations with a new way of doing things. Paul’s early ministry was primarily to the Jewish people. But as he grew in knowing God and making God known, God changed locations on him. His “normal” was staying mainly in Asia Minor, speaking mainly to Jewish people about Jesus and the church. But as Paul and his team traveled deeper into Asia Minor, the Holy Spirit forbade them to speak the word in Asia. Now being accustomed to their “normal,” they kept going the same direction they always had. They liked their cheese. Then, the Spirit of Jesus appeared and did not permit them. Wow, the Holy Spirit and Jesus did not permit them. I can see Paul and his team saying, “Who moved my cheese?” There’s a message here. Sometimes you need to persevere when a door closes. If a door closes, try to open it again. It’s a door. That’s how doors work. But, if after unsuccessfully trying several times to open a door, get

the message. Dude, it’s someone else’s door. Or should I say someone else’s cheese? Here’s the rest of the story. Amid this confusing, confounding, “where’s-mycheese” moment, guess who shows up with the new normal? God. God gave Paul a new vision, a new direction, a new ministry and new location in order to usher in a new season. The vision was of a man from Macedonia (Greece) standing and appealing Paul to come over to Macedonia and help them. “And when he (Paul) had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.” Acts 16:10. In other words, God moved the cheese to Europe. Paul and his team knew it was God. Notice the pronouns. The vision moved from a “he” to a “we” to an “us” to a “them.” Then God sent a Roman businesswoman to ﬁnance the new venture. God started with a vision. A vision is a compelling picture of a preferable picture that motivates one to perform. People perish without a vision because vision gives life. Vision gives us a road map. After the vision, Paul’s singular “he” moved to a “we” to reach “them.” The vision given to Paul changed his life, his team’s lives, the lives of Europeans, and the whole world. It’s called repositioning. Location, location, location! Maybe you are in the same position Paul was in. I encourage you to be open to a new vision if what worked in the past is not working anymore. Then, like Paul and his team, when you ﬁnd your cheese again, you can say, “I was born for this!” To learn more about Pastor Ed Delph, the Church-Community Connection and Nation strategy, call 623-376-6757, e-mail nationstrategy@cs.com or visit nationstrategy.com.
