Water treatment plant upgrades continue BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

Glendale Star Managing Editor

With initial upgrades to the Pyramid Peak Water Treatment Plant complete, a second phase of construction is now underway. The full project includes more than $52.5 million to expand the facility, paid for by the city of Peoria; and approximately $25 million in improvements shared with the city of Glendale. Work is tentatively estimated to take another two years, with an estimated completion of summer 2021. The plant, which is located off Pyramid Peak Parkway, east of Peoria’s East Wing Mountain Preserve, is jointly owned by the two West Valley cities.

While originally commissioned in 1986, according to Cape Powers, Peoria’s water services director, his city came into 23% ownership 10 years later. Glendale, which maintains a 77% stake in the facility, operates it. The facility serves the northern portion of Glendale as well as Peoria’s Vistancia community and other parts of north Peoria. “This plant treats Colorado River water from the Central Arizona Project canal, and then the rest of the city can take Salt River Project water,” explained Ron Serio, Glendale’s deputy water services director. “Salt River Project water is restricted for use on Salt River Project-covered areas, and areas outside of that you can’t use Salt

River Project water. So, this plant and this source of water fills that need; it gives us the ability to serve those other areas with a different source of water.” The ongoing construction project has two components, Serio said. First are improvements to the existing plant, costs of which are shared between the two cities. Beyond that, the facility will be expanded to increase treatment capacity, though the expanded portion will exclusively serve and be paid for by the city of Peoria. Currently rated to treat 48 million gallons of water per day (MGD) but operating on a reliable capacity of 39 MGD, the expansion will increase the facility to a capacity of 54 SEE WATER PAGE 4

Glendale has the ninth healthiest housing market among American cities with a population of more than 200,000, according to a new study. Smart Asset, a technology company that provides personal finance advice online, ranked Glendale behind other Valley cities — Chandler and Mesa — but ahead of Gilbert in its top-10 rankings. “Homeowners in a healthy market should be able to easily sell their homes, with a relatively low risk of losing money,” Smart Asset said.

Kids facing mental health crisis, not enough help BY CECILIA CHAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

The West Valley — like the rest of the country — is seeing skyrocketing mental health diagnoses among children and adolescents in emergency departments. The problem is exacerbated by a shortage of professionals to deal with them — adding to the anxiety of parents who try to help their children. ER visits “for kids who come in for complaints of suicide and behavioral problems in the past 10 years continue to increase,” said Dr. Randall Ricardi, chief of psychiatry at Phoenix Children’s. “Partly, (population) growth is a driver and also I think better recognition of disorders in kids and adolescents and as a result more people come forward for care,” he added. The need can be seen in the number of pediatric patients who attempted suicide — and the rising number who complete it. In 2008, two pediatric patients were brought to Phoenix Children’s emer-

al thoughts. By 2016, that number jumped to 553 patients. Overall, an estimated 17.1 million U.S. children are affected by a psychiatric disorder, making mental health ailments among the most common pediatric illnesses, according to a 2018 study by Children’s National Health While nearly 1 in 5 U.S. children have a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder in a given year, only about 20% of children with disorders see a System in Washspecialized mental health care provider, according to a 2018 report from ington, D.C.

And in 2008, Phoenix Children’s That underscores the importance of registered 64 pediatric patients in its improving access to outpatient mental emergency department with suicid- health resources and expanding capacity in emergency departments, according to the study.

Some steps being taken now

Phoenix Children’s has already taken steps to address the crisis. At its main campus in Phoenix, a Bridge Clinic opened almost 1.5 years ago. “The idea behind the Bridge Clinic is to take the kids seen in ED and don’t require in-patient care but can’t wait the weeks or months to get a psychiatry appointment and we bring them to Bridge for 60 days,” Ricardi said. “While they are waiting for a psychiatry appointment for longer care, we stabilize them by seeing them more frequently and starting either medication or therapy,” he added, noting the program would “transition them long term to a psychiatrist or a therapist.” Approximately 420 patients came for help at the Bridge Clinic last year, according to Ricardi. The program is being expanded to other areas, like the multi-specialty building on the Dignity Health Mercy Gilbert Medical Center’s campus. Until that building opens and to meet an ongoing shortage of mental health providers, Ricardi is spearheading a program that he hopes to launch in early fall to train pediatricians on how to handle routine behavioral issues with

their patients. “We’re going to invite interested pediatrician practices to participate in a year-long faculty learning community, where we teach about identifying, treating and managing attention deficit disorder, depression and anxiety,” Ricardi said. “The pediatrician can be a valuable resource, and collaborating with a psychiatrist, in managing the increase number of kids with behavioral health needs,” he explained, noting: “Some of them are managing patients in their practice. This is a more formalized way to help train them further.” The American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry last year released a report showing a severe national shortage of child and adolescent psychiatrists.

Shortage still dire

While nearly 1 in 5 U.S. children have a mental, emotional or behavioral disorder in a given year, only about 20% of children with disorders see a specialized mental health care provider, it said. The county has approximately 8,000 practicing child and adolescent psychiatrists with a median of 11 per 100,000 children, the academy reported. Pediatrician Darcey Winterland knows firsthand the value of such a training program. “I’m seeing more and more mental health issues every year,” said Winterland, who’s been in private practice for 12 years. “And I’m seeing kids at an earlier and earlier age. I think this is something we scratch our heads about,” she added. Winterland was at loss for why the nationwide increase in youths experiencing mental health issues. “There’s lot of discussion among pediatricians and the mental health community on the role of social media on kids and what impact that has — specifically like Instagram and Snapchat and what role they play related to anxiety and depression,” she said, noting: “It’s a prevalent issue for adolescent girls in particular — the constant need to know if someone liked what they did.” According to research published this year by the American Psychological Association, certain types of menSEE CRISIS PAGE 3

tal disorders have risen significantly among kids. “Cultural trends in the last 10 years may have had a larger effect on mood disorders and suicide-related outcomes among younger generations compared with older generations,” the association said. The lead researcher suspected the trend could be partially due to increased use of electronic communication and digital media. The researcher noted that older adults’ social lives are more stable and might have changed less than teens’ social lives have in the last 10 years.

Wait times stress families

Until there are enough mental health professionals to address the growing caseload, continual strain will be seen in emergency departments and pediatrician offices, experts fear. The average wait time for families to see a psychiatrist is three to four months. The waiting lists for a mental health therapist and psychologist are no better and can stretch up to three months, forcing parents to bring their kids to pediatricians, according to Winterland. Also, for some families, she said, it’s a cheaper option to bring their children to a pediatrician than a specialist. A majority of the nearly 20 physicians, including Winterland, at Mesa Pediatrics’ four offices handle mental health concerns to some degree with their young patients, according to the doctor. “I take care of a variety of ADHD, anxiety and depression (cases),” Winterland said. “I feel comfortable handling straightforward cases of anxiety and depression.” But in more severe cases, including bipolar or multiple mental disorders, a psychiatrist is needed to determine appropriate medication, she said. Winterland said that during her residency she was not trained to deal with behavioral and mental health issues in patients. As recently as 2013, 65% of pediatricians surveyed by the American Academy of Pediatrics indicated they lacked training in recognizing and treating mental health problems. Winterland said doctors are responding to the crisis by taking continuing medical education. Training pediatricians to do the work of mental health professionals, however, may not be an effective long-term solution.

NEWS

It takes longer for pediatricians to deal with a case involving mental health than treating a kid with an ear infection or strep throat, Winterland said. “The amount of time spent, 45 minutes to an hour, to discuss all the issues, I can’t do that in the middle of the morning or middle of the afternoon or I’ll get behind,” she said. “There’s a certain amount of spots allowed for these in our practice.”

Cost of treatment a factor

And, because the practice is booked weeks in advance, families needing immediate help for their children turn to the emergency room instead. “Most kids don’t get presented to us until the parents view it as an emergency situation and they can’t get them in because of the wait time,” Winterland said. “Lot of these kids end up in the ER.” She said her husband, Dr. Blake Bulloch, division chief of the Pediatric Emergency Department at Phoenix Children’s, sees on average six kids a day waiting to be admitted to a mental health facility because they’ve been deemed unsafe to go home.

Winterland also sees the cost of mental health care as a stumbling block for families. Cost, insurance coverage and the time and effort involved make it hard for parents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “Lot of families can’t afford to pay the $150 to $300 for the initial visit and the $100 to $150 for subsequent visits for therapy,” Winterland said, adding: “It’s a pretty pricey endeavor for these families, especially those without insurance, and even if they have insurance it provides only for three visits. “We just don’t have enough providers to provide care and lots of providers don’t accept insurance. In my experience (families) try to sacrifice in other places to pay for it or go without therapy if it’s hard to see a psychiatrist or psychologist,” she said, adding: “Unfortunately, there’s not enough emphasis placed on mental health.”

MGD. According to Serio, during the first phase pumps and parts of the disinfection system were replaced. During the current second phase, the facility’s chiller, which he said provides cool air; electrical gear; and chemical feed pumps will be updated. And according to Glendale information, phase two will also include construction of new lagoons, a recovery basin and treatment train. Improvements were deemed necessary, per a periodic assessment of the plant’s workability, Serio said. “We went and assessed that plant and identified a bunch of things that needed to be repaired or rehabilitated,” Serio elaborated. “The reason that we do that is because we can’t afford to have our water plants go out of service. So, by proactively fixing things right before they break, we’re reducing our risk of the plant shutting down and not having the ability to serve our customers. So we’re trying to be as resilient as we possibly can.” Powers added of the expansion: “As growth continues in Peoria, staff recognized the need to work with the city of Glendale to expand the PPWTP to

meet new demands. This water is part of Peoria’s CAP allocation and will be moved through the system primarily into the Vistancia area, as well as other parts of north Peoria. This will allow for increased growth and water system redundancy.” While work is mainly slated during daytime hours on weekdays, and will take place within the plant’s property or public right-of-way, drivers may notice increased truck traffic on Pyramid Peak Parkway during mass excavation activities and concrete placement; early morning or night work activities, as needed, during concrete placement based on daytime temperatures; and light equipment during any scheduled night work.

Tentative schedule

• Salvaging and mass excavation (fall 2019) • Concrete placement (winter 2019 to winter 2020) • Pyramid Peak Parkway connection (winter 2020) • Backﬁll, grading and paving (fall 2020 to spring 2021) • Construction completion (summer 2021) Source: City of Glendale

Stroke care nets awards for Abrazo Arrowhead BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Stroke care provided at Abrazo Arrowhead Campus was recently recognized with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award and Target: Stroke Elite Plus Honor Roll Award. “Abrazo Arrowhead Campus is dedicated to improving the quality of care for our stroke patients by implementing the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke initiative,” CEO Jeff Patterson said. Stroke is the fifth cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States, and nearly 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A stroke, sometimes called a brain attack, occurs when something blocks blood supply to part of the brain or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. In either case, parts of the brain become damaged or die. A stroke can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability or even death, according to the CDC website.

If something happens to block the flow of blood, brain cells start to die within minutes because they can’t get oxygen and cause a stroke. There are two types of stroke: • Ischemic stroke occurs when blood clots or other particles block the blood vessels to the brain. Fatty deposits called plaque can also cause blockages by building up in the blood vessels. • Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain. Blood builds up and damages surrounding brain tissue. A primary stroke center, Abrazo Arrowhead Campus qualified for recognition on the Target: Honor Roll for meeting quality measures developed to reduce the time between the patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster tissue plasminogen activator, or TPA, the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat ischemic stroke. “The tools and resources provided help us track and measure our success in meeting evidenced-based clinical guidelines developed to improve patient outcomes,” Patterson said.

For Glendale, the site said owners live an average 10 years and two months in their homes versus a national average of 12 years and two months. Only 3% of homes have decreased in value, the study said, as opposed to 18.8% nationwide. Homes stay on the market an average of 44 days in Glendale, Smart Asset said, as opposed to national average almost twice as long. And Glendale homeowners devote an average of a fifth their annual household income toward their home — from mortgage and insurance to maintenance costs. That compared to an average 21.1% of annual income that homeowners nationwide pay toward owning their house.

It said it based its stability rate on the average number of years people own their homes and the percentage of homeowners with negative equity. “To measure risk, we used the percentage of homes that decreased in value. To determine housing market fluidity, we looked at data on the average time a for-sale home in each area spent on the market — the longer homes take to sell, the less fluid the market,” the study said. It based its affordability calculations on the monthly cost of owning a home as a percentage of household income. Affordability accounted for 40% of the healthiest markets index, while each of the other three factors accounted for 20%, Smart Asset said.

Breast cancer survivors wanted for study BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Eligible West Valley breast cancer survivors may contribute to possible medical advances and earn money while attending a class at Grand Canyon University. The Recovery and Rejuvenation Study is sponsored by ASU and the Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation. ASU researchers are enrolling survivors for a free, eight-week series of one-hour classes that start at Grand Canyon University on Saturday mornings August 31 to October 19. The study offers three different series of classes. Participants in two of the series will learn gentle movement techniques; the other focuses on reading and discussing. All three approaches will be taught by trained ASU researchers and have proven to help breast cancer survivors, according to Dr. Linda Larkey, the chief investigator for the research study. “Evidence-based research indicates gentle movement and peer support are both associated with significant benefits for cancer survivors during treatment and beyond,” Larkey said. “We are hoping to learn why that might be, and which approach is most beneficial.” Participants who complete the study will receive $70 in gift cards. “We find that in addition to the gift

10K water bottles donated for heat relief effort BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Hundreds of local residents and visitors flocked to Historic Downtown Glendale for the 13th annual Christmas in July this past month. Hosted by the Historic Downtown Glendale Merchants Association, the event offered visits with Santa Claus and an early start on holiday shopping. Additional activities included makeand-take crafts, festive treats and a Cookie Crawl experience. But arguably most important was a bottled water drive to benefit the Maricopa County Heat Relief Network. The merchant’s association had a goal to collect 5,000 bottles of water. But overwhelming support from the event attendees and the local business community resulted in the collection of 10,576 bottles of water, more than double the goal. “Our hearts are filled with thankfulness for the outpouring of donations and the incredible generosity of our hometown community,” said Lorraine Zomok, president of the Historic Downtown Glendale Merchants Association.

Several businesses also participated in a challenge to build a Christmas tree shaped from cases of water. Those businesses included The Astrology Store, Bitz-ee Mama’s and Memory Lane Trinkets and Treasures. The Glendale Elementary School District also participated in the challenge. In addition to collecting water, the school provided dozens of handmade cooling neck wraps for people in need. A local Glendale couple, Rich and Lisa Fahey, also participated in the water drive. They rallied neighbors and daycare friends and collected more than 60 cases of water. Plans are already underway for the 14th event, scheduled for July 11, 2020.

POLICE BRIEFS COMPILED BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

School bus involved in fender bender

Two Peoria Unified School District buses were involved in a small collision on the Loop 101 on July 25, resulting in a temporary blockage of the HOV lane. According to Raul Garcia, a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the collision was reported at 9:53 a.m. The Phoenix Fire Department responded. Garcia said children were on board at the time, when one of the buses rear-ended the other at 7th Avenue. The buses blocked the HOV lane. Danielle Airey, a spokeswoman for the school district, called it “a small fender bender,” and said no injuries

Elderly woman crashes into Banner Thunderbird

An elderly woman crashed into a playground at the Banner Thunderbird Hospital early in the morning July 24. According to Sgt. Tara Ochoa, the incident occurred just before 9 a.m. As Ochoa described, the elderly woman accidentally drove her car over a barrier, traveling into an embankment and crashing into the playground area. The driver, the sole person in the car, was taken to the hospital out of precaution. No one was on the playground at the time.

Police searching for golf course attack suspect Several months after a 75-yearold man was attacked on the Legends Golf Course, Glendale police are still searching for a suspect and a fellow person of interest. Police said the incident happened at 3 p.m. Sunday, May 26, after a confrontation between the victim’s and suspect’s groups. The victim, who was with two friends, hit his golf ball near the suspect on the seventh tee. When he went to retrieve the ball, the suspect physically attacked. When the victim’s friends approached, finding the suspect on top of the victim, punching him in the head, the suspect fled in a golf cart with another man. In the two months since the incident

Too many kids aspire to be too little in life BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

When I was a little boy growing up in Queens, New York, in the 1970s, my career aspirations inevitably focused on who got to drive the biggest truck. Early on, I wanted to be a garbage man because that truck was loud and crunched things. The allure wore off in first grade when I realized that garbage was generally heavy and smelled like, well, garbage. After that, I went through a bus driver phase and then a firefighter phase. Again, talk about enormous, cool vehicles. Mixed in was an obsession with Julius Dr. J. Erving — maybe I could grow a huge afro and be a basketball star — and a long stint hoping I would one day become a plainclothes police detective like Robert Blake on Baretta. How did I end up here? That’s a long tale of dashed dreams and a column for another day. The reason I mention this is a Harris poll that came out the other day depressed the hell out of me. To mark the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 carrying man to the moon, Harris

surveyed 3,000 kids between ages 8 and 12 years old, asking them what they want to be when they grow up. The most popular answer among the American children? A YouTuber, chosen by 29% of kids in the United States. Teacher was second at 26%, and then came pro athlete (23%) and musician (19%). Down at the bottom? Just 11% of American kids today dream about becoming an astronaut. YouTubers, for those of us who have a life instead of spending all day online, are people who become celebrities for posting videos on YouTube. The most popular of these “famous for being famous” vloggers is a 28-yearold Swedish moron who goes by the name PewDiePie and who posts lots of f-bomb-laden video game and meme reviews. His most popular video? A two-minute Eminem-style rap rant entitled “B--- Lasagna.” That video has been viewed about 208 million times, helping PewDiePie amass more than 98 million subscribers to his YouTube channel.

for 2018? About $15.5 million, according to Forbes. For comparison’s sake, astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins each earned about $17,000 annually back in 1969 — military captain’s pay. According to the space chronicle “Moondust,” the trio also received a per diem of $8 a day for the Apollo 11 mission — before deductions for “accommodations,” i.e., the spaceship bed provided by NASA. Astronauts nowadays seem to be relics from the distant past, not unlike Fonzie from “Happy Days,” or Evel Knievel jumping his motorcycle over a line of buses. It’s no wonder, really, that kids don’t aspire to walk on the moon or pilot a spaceship, not when you can pilot an Xbox controller and make an absurd living playing “Minecraft” or “Overwatch.” Yes, I do realize I sound like a stereotypical old man, ranting about “those

damn kids.” A caveat: I don’t so much feel awful about them as I do for them. Childhood back in the day seemed to include more dreams about doing things and fewer about being things or watching things. When I imagined myself as a garbage man or a fireman, the vision was about action: driving the truck, flipping aluminum cans to the curb, putting out a blaze, climbing a ladder toward the sky. Maybe these are merely quaint old memories now, the stuff of Super 8 home movies and the occasional documentary. Maybe 98 million PewDiePie fans would have been bored senseless. Maybe they’re happy playing games all day and videoing themselves playing games all day. And maybe we’re all the poorer for it. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

Business Briefcase

Hello, readers! On tap this week are a new location for a school that provides extra opportunities for high schoolers, a large donation by a local Glendale organization and a way for all the businesses in the West Valley to partner and spread the word about what they offer. But with much to discuss, I’ll waste no time dilly-dallying. Here’s the news! First, Glendale’s Deer Valley Academy is moving to a new location at 2710 W. Bell Road, Suite 1221, Phoenix. The nonproﬁt charter school, which was founded in 2001 and provides afternoon and evening high school courses, will operate from a remote location during renovations. School begins Thursday, August 15. Hours will

be 3 to 5:30 p.m. and 5:50 to 8:20 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Once open, DVA will neighbor Eludesions Escape Rooms, Super Saver Cinemas and Santisi Brothers. For more information, leave a message at 602-467-6874, email info@deervalleyacademy.org or visit deervalleyacademy.org. Moving along, Delta Dental of Arizona awarded Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health (NOAH) a $25,000 grant and $6,000 in dental hygiene supplies. Thus far this year, Delta Dental of Arizona has distributed nearly $600,000 in grants to 31 Arizona community organizations. “Delta Dental of Arizona is proud to support NOAH, an HonorHealth afﬁliate, in their efforts to improve oral health in low-income and uninsured

communities in the Valley,” said Allan Allford, Delta Dental of Arizona chief executive officer. “Tooth decay, which is nearly 100% preventable, is still one of the most common chronic diseases for children, but through partnerships like this, we are tipping the scale in the right direction.” This new grant will help the NOAH Dental Outreach Program provide free dental screenings, education and fluoride varnish to 3,000 low-income children. NOAH also uses the program to provide children free toothbrushes, along with brushing and flossing techniques and give parents screening summaries and recommendations. “Poor oral health can negatively affect how a young mouth develops and leads to more than 50 million school hours being lost each year. It can also impact a child’s confidence, speech, nutrition, social skills as well as potential for success later in life,” said Lou Sarrosa, NOAH dental director. “This grant not only allows us to treat thousands of low-income and uninsured children who otherwise may not have access to dental services, it also gives us the opportunity to connect with their families and provide

them with important resources and education that can benefit the entire family.” Delta Dental of Arizona is at 5656 W. Talavi Boulevard, Glendale. For more information, visit deltadentalaz.com. Finally, the West Valley Biz 2 Biz Expo will return from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday, August 22. The event, a partnership between the six West Valley chamber of commerce (Buckeye Valley, Glendale, Peoria, Southwest Valley, Surprise Regional and Wickenburg), will be once again held at the Glendale Civic Center, 5750 W. Glenn Drive. Free to attend and open to the public, the event provides local businesses with the opportunity to showcase what exactly they offer. Registration for exhibit space, available on a first-come, first-served basis, is due by Friday, August 8. Exhibitors must be a member of one of the six West Valley chambers. Advanced registration, due by Friday, August 2, ranges from $250 to $325. Regular registration, beginning the next day, ranges from $300 to $400. Electricity costs an extra $75 per table. Tables are 8 feet long and include two chairs. Vendor setup is 3:30 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, August 21.

Hoopers reflect on All-American Showcase experience BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Over 100 high school basketball players crowded into the PHHacility, a Phoenix-based basketball complex, for the third annual Southwest All-American Basketball Camp from July 23 through July 24, with a chance to show off their skills in front of over 40 confirmed college basketball coaches and scouts. The event served as a chance for many of the best players in Arizona, and even a few players from nearby states, to come together in one event to try and woo college teams for their individual recruitment. With a series of drills, games made up of even-level teams and several all-star games selected by the tournament scouts, the players had plenty of chances to impress. And, several players left the event invigorated by college offers or expanded scouting and interest. Many of the top performers believe club basketball tournaments in the high school off seasons are the best chances to have the most eyes on them. However, the club teams in the area often mesh most of the top-level players on the same teams, and leave everyone else without the same opportunities to get recruited. Millennium senior Michael Batchelor said an event like this allows every player to be on equal terms, regardless of reputation. “There’s a lot of kids that go under the radar — and I think I’m one of them — that you don’t necessarily see until they all get out here and go at it,” he said. The prospect of the event was admittedly nerve-wracking for some, including Desert Ridge senior Caleb Alonso, who recalls looking at recruiting highlight videos of several of the competitors in the days before the showcase started. He was a bit worried at first about how he might fit in skill-wise. But, with the scoreboard reading 0-0 and nobody receiving extra hype or recognition until the conclusion of a game, the players who found success — Alonso was recognized as a Top-20 All-Star — felt a boost in confidence. “It’s a little intimidating, looking at a

lot of these guys on YouTube, but when you’re on the court, they’re just like everyone else, and none of that matters. You’re just people playing basketball,” Alonso said. Each team was led by familiar coaches. Almost all of them coach clubs, high school teams or both, and it behooves them to raise the standard for local basketball. As former Desert Vista and current Valley Christian senior Jackson Risi put it, the encouragement he noticed from all the adults in attendance was inspiring. They all wish the best for Arizona players. “All the coaches want you to get better, so that when you’re playing here, and hopefully in college, you’re representing well,” he said. The event, unlike many tournaments, did not have a playoff bracket, or a decided winning team to hoist a trophy after the final buzzer. However, competitiveness and love of the game was what drew most of the players to the Southwest Basketball Camp in the first place. Thus, each game was fierce, and the players seemingly fought in the same manner they would with real stakes or season standings on the line. Winning, Moon Valley senior Trent Hudgens added, could not hurt in individual recruitment, as well. “If you show out and you lose, it really doesn’t mean anything. If you do good and then you win, that just shows you can be great as a part of a team, and that looks extra good,” he said. However, with the scores of games not necessarily mattering for anything other than pride, and the realistic chance that the players that performed the best could obtain scholarships and college offers, there were plenty of players looking for their own stats. They felt each basket or assist led them closer to the chance to play in a collegiate gym. While still trying to play a smart game within the new coach’s scheme, those who focused on more than just scoring and making flashy plays were

deemed impressive. “Everybody wants to show off a little bit. But that gives you a chance to prove yourself if someone is trying to go at you, if you can defend them and still play your game,” Sunrise Mountain junior Colin Carey said. Mountain Pointe senior TJ Tigler also added that each team loaded with talent and

If you do good and then you win, that just shows you can be great as a part of a team, and that looks extra good,” Moon Valley senior Trent Hudgens said. (Glendale Star photos by Eric Newman)

working to get to the next level was humbling in a positive way. It forced each player to find their role on the court, as they will have to do to be successful beyond the prep level. “A lot of people here are a star on their high school or club team. But, so is everyone else on these teams, so if you want to win you have to slow down and kind of just do what you can when the ball comes to you and focus on making the right play. Whether they ended the event’s two days with or without scholarships,

scouting interest or even a nodding recognition from college coaches, players at the Southwest All-American Camp left with renewed passion for the game, not to mention several hours of training on skills and technique. Each player learned valuable lessons and confidence that they can take into their high school and club seasons moving forward. “It’s great every time to see how much good talent there is here in Arizona,” Batchelor said. “And, if you can keep up, that’s even more fun and gives you something to go off.”

Sons of O’Neal, Wade forging own paths at GCU BY SEBASTIAN EMANUEL Cronkite News

The sons of two NBA legends are among the high school standouts attending an NCAA Basketball Academy at Grand Canyon University. Among the 2,400 players participating in this week’s first NCAA academy, two names jump out: Zaire Wade and Shaqir O’Neal. Both players were placed in the west region of the academy, hosted by GCU, and hope to stand out for their own accomplishments. “I’m looking to make my own name,” Zaire Wade said. “My dad, he’s the type of guy who wants me to make a name for myself. He will help me but he wants me to figure it out, be a man yourself.” Zaire’s dad, Dwyane Wade, is regarded as one of the best all-around players in NBA history. Zaire hopes to stand out at the point guard position. “My whole life I’ve been a playmaker,” Zaire said. “People used to tell me I don’t shoot enough so now I have just kind of found a balance, knocking down shots and getting my guys involved, that’s what I’m doing.” Shaqir’s dad, Shaquille O’Neal, is known as one of the most astronomically big men the NBA game has ever

seen. Although Shaqir Zaire Wade runs a dribbling drill may not reach his dad’s during the 2019 NCAA College Basketball Academy at Grand height — Shaqir is Canyon University. (Photos by 6-feet-4 versus his faJack Dempsey/NCAA Photos) ther’s 7-1 — he knows what he has to do to be a special player. “I had to do a lot more (ball) handle training,” Shaqir said. “My dad made sure I knew handles right because he knew I wasn’t going to be as tall as him. I’m not done growing, but since I was young he has helped me do handling drills.” Shaqir understands the pressure to be successful due to his last name but he welcomes the challenge. “It’s a lot of pressure but pressure makes diamonds,” Shaqir said. He compares his game to Golden State Warriors All-Star Klay Thompson. “I say I’m really a good shooter and I have handles, like sneaky handles,” Shaqir the same mindset to make a name for said. “I can get to the ourselves.” Shaqir said he thought he would basket easy and I can only know one person at the camp, and finish.” The two sons have it happened to be Zaire. “I was happy because that’s my guy. known each other since the days their dads We grew up together and played toplayed for the Miami gether as kids and it’s fun competing Heat and brought home against him,” Shaqir said.

He’s ready for the challenge, he said, and following in his father’s footsteps. “They just told me to get prepared for the next level,” Shaqir said. “It’s very hard being a student-athlete. … Today we had classes on showing us stuff we can do and life of a student-athlete, showing us a glimpse of life of a college basketball player. It’s not for everybody but I feel like it’s for me.” Zaire is heading into his senior season to play at Sierra Canyon in Chatsworth, California, after moving to the Los Angeles area from Miami. He has received offers from schools including Nebraska (Big Ten), DePaul (Big East), Rhode Island (Atlantic-10) and Toledo (MAC). He has said he doesn’t plan to sign in November and is open to going to any school in the nation. For Shaqir, the rising junior will return to Crossroads and look to not only improve his ranking by recruiting services but bring home a state title. “I wanna be the No. 1 player (overall) or at least ranked top 10,” Shaqir said. “I want to have a lot of offers to my dream schools.” A few of Shaqir’s dream schools include LSU and UCLA, places that have ties to the O’Neal household with Shaq being a former Tigers player and older brother Shareef settling on Westwood after having initially committing to Arizona. To end their summers, the two sons will look forward to playing their dads one on one and getting the best of their legendary NBA fathers.

Today, seven years later, he can’t get enough of the annual clothes-andschool supply giveaway for more than 5,000 elementary students from 130 Title 1 schools in the metro area. In fact, he loves the program so much that he takes a week of vacation every year from his responsibilities in the Bank of America Tax Operations Department to work somewhere between 70 and 90 hours doing anything and everything he’s needed to do. While many of the bank’s 800 volunteers at the event choose to be “personal shoppers,” guiding the kids from station to station to select school uniforms, clothes, shoes, school supplies and more, Colt, as he’s known, quietly and efficiently goes about his work, mostly below the radar. “I’m a behind-the-scenes guy,” the Glendale resident said. “The first year I was involved I helped with security, escorting the kids from one building to another. Now I do anything they need done to make sure the process keeps flowing, from unloading boxes from the trucks to even picking up the gar-

Glendale resident brings new zest to baking industry BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF When Chief Pastry Chef Christine Conner graduated from Scottsdale Culinary Institute in 1988, she thought she was going to be a butcher. Little did she know that less than 30 years later, she would be the overseeing the creation of deserts that have received national attention and earned accolades. Conner was born and raised in Arizona and currently lives in Glendale. She has been working as a pastry chef for eight years and has been the head pastry chef for Dominick’s Steakhouse, Steak 44 and, most recently, Ocean 44 for the last four years. Prior to joining Prime Steak Con-

cepts, Conner worked as the garde manger chef for several highly regarded resorts in Arizona, including The Wigwam, The Boulders Resort & Spa as well as The Peaks Resort & Spa in Telluride, Colorado. She also oversaw preparation for banquets and special events and designed menus and canopies. Conner said she first fell in love with baking pastries at The Boulders. At the time, the resort’s executive chef needed help preparing and baking pastries, so Conner jumped at the opportunity. “Once you learn how to live within the parameters of pastry, you can let your creativity flow out of it,” Conner

said. “I get to work with sugar, I get to travel and somebody pays me to do it all.” After working at several resorts, Conner retired in 2015. Her retirement was short lived, however. Steak 44’s executive chef, Robert Watson, a close friend of Conner’s, convinced her to join him at the restaurant. SEE CHEF PAGE 20

New collectibles store in Glendale recalls the ’80s BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Glendale Star Staff Writer

David Lizanetz grew up in Glendale during the ’80s, and he wants to show the effect it had on him. He opened Sour Apple Gallery in early July, offering customers collectibles from the decade like “Star Wars” toys and vintage video games. “My store is like a mini version of Comic-Con,” Lizanetz said. “Of course, as a typical ’80s kid, I was very interested in art, and it stuck with me.” Lizanetz earned a bachelor’s degree in fine art from ASU with an emphasis in drawing and painting. An illustrator by trade, he wanted to control who saw his art, and eight years ago set forth on a mission to open a gallery. “I wanted to try to open my own gallery where I have complete control of where it gets distributed,” Lizanetz said. In 2011, he opened the first Sour Apple Gallery. “I called it Sour Apple because, at the time, my son was about 5 years old

and his favorite snack was green apples,” Lizanetz said. As Lizanetz developed his art, he realized he could touch on his hob-

bies at the gallery. Although he enjoys creating characters and creatures, he couldn’t let go of his childhood inspirations. “The first year, it was just art, and then I started bringing in a few collectibles because that’s something else I love,” Lizanetz said. “I love everything about the ’80s, so I collected that stuff.” Sour Apple Gallery, however, closed its doors roughly two years later. Lizanetz missed owning a gallery and tried it again this month. “I missed the people talking to me about pop culture or art they like,” Lizanetz said. “It’s fun to meet likeminded people who share the same passion I have for art and the ’80s.” Lizanetz is thrilled Sour Apple Gallery is open again, and he’s trying to David Lizanetz uses vinyl and cassette tapes in his artwork.

stand out. He said his store is friendly and organized with authentic décor. Sour Apple Gallery features music and movies from the ’80s, so expect to find “Back to the Future” playing in the background. Blips and beeps from retro video games echo overhead. Everything is neatly organized, with toys categorized by character. “It’s not just an art gallery,” Lizanetz said. “It’s also a collectibles gallery and I curate what goes in here, so it’s not just a bunch of junk.” Sour Apple Gallery also features Lizanetz’s artwork, which incorporates damaged or obsolete vinyl and cassette tapes. “I like to use recycled records and cassette tapes and paint on top of them,” Lizanetz said. “Instead of throwing them away, why not make art out of it?” Lizanetz finds it easy to keep Sour Apple Gallery relevant because people are always looking back. His staff, too, is well-schooled in pop culture. “It seems like everybody loves something from pop culture, whether it’s their favorite TV show or a favorite movie or a toy,” he said. “When you come in here looking for a unique gift for a friend or something for yourself, ad you’re going to talk to me — somebody who is also passionate about this stuff. When they come here, they’re going to get the best customer service they’ve ever had at any collectibles store, and I will do my best to always have what they’re looking for and give them the best prices.”

Ending her retirement to work for the family of steakhouses has been a decision she’s never regretted. “Steak 44, Dominick’s Steakhouse and now Ocean 44 has earned a national reputation in taking care of guests, delivering a world-class experience and using only the best and finest ingredients available,” Conner said. “At each and every one of our restaurants, management not only take exquisite care of our guests, but they also go out of their way for their employees.” Conner also oversees all pastry duties at Steak 48 in Chicago and Houston. On any given day, she will help bake 80 caramel cakes, 15 s’mores jars, 30 red velvet cakes, 40 key lime pies and 45 coconut crème pies. Conner has developed numerous recipes for desserts seen at all Prime Steak Concepts’ restaurants. For instance, she conceived of the recipe for the popular Very Chocolate Cake — consisting of chocolate butter cream, cherry compote and chocolate ganache — which is available at Dominick’s, Steak 44, Steak 48 and Ocean 44. She and her staff of 15 will also bake desserts for special occasions and events. Recently, she baked a birthday cake for Gov. Doug Ducey at Steak 44. At

If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you Challenges, challenges, why challenges? Could it be challenges are good for us? Many times, when challenges come into our lives, overcoming the challenge is what promotes us. Challenges make us more capable, wiser and stronger in spirit and mind. Challenges, when met and overcome, raise our confidence and resolve. Consider this incredible, ridiculously difficult challenge swimmer Michael Phelps overcame in the Beijing Olympics in 2008. The Word for Today wrote this account. “Michael Phelps captured the gold for his country in the Beijing Olympics and brought home a record eight best-time gold medals. But it won’t just be the number of medals Michael won we’ll remember, but his invincible spirit when things turned drastically against him in the 200-meter butterﬂy. As he touched the wall, winning the race, nobody knew what he’d undergone to accomplish it. “As Michael pulled off his goggles and the world watched, incredulous, water poured out of them. He’d swum 200 meters almost blind, an experienced swimmer’s dread. Counting strokes, looking desperately for any marks on the pool ﬂoor, he finally touched the finish wall, an Olympic conqueror in every sense. Phelps used his frustration to in-

crease his stamina and determination to win.” What can we learn from his experience? How about endurance? Endurance is a commitment to draw on every ounce of your strength and keep moving forward regardless of the circumstances. As Christians we draw on God’s grace and strength regardless of circumstances. How about strength of character? Character is an inner fortitude based on personal integrity. How about a confident hope? Confident hope is a deep conviction that whatever it takes, we will ultimately make it to the end. We will push through to victory or give everything we need to accomplish the task we set out to do. The important thing to realize is whether we win or lose, we gave it everything we have. We didn’t leave anything on the table. That’s where accepting a challenge changes us. We reach into our reserves and God’s reserves to be an overcomer. Most people have

more inner strength than they think. They have just never visited that area of their being. I’m so proud of my granddaughter, Madeleine, or Maddie as she likes to be called. Recently, she ran in the 400-yard relay in the Junior High State Track and Field Championships at Glendale College. This was her school’s first time in the Arizona state championships in their division. She was the second runner in the relay. The first runner in the relay had the lead when she passed the baton to Madeleine. Madeleine ran like a gazelle. She surprised her father and mother, her coach, her teammates, her fans in the stands and, most of all, herself. (However, she didn’t surprise her Opa and Nana. We knew she could do it.) She held on to the lead as she finished. That was a surprise to her and a delight to everyone who knew her. I might add the team ended up winning second place in their first outing in the state track championship. When we asked her how she ran so hard and fast, she said in the excitement of the race she had forgotten to pace herself. She had run the whole 400 yards full blast. She only slowed down the last 100 feet or so. Do you see that? She possessed more endurance than she ever thought. That was an eye opener for her, her team on

the field, and her team in the stands. Just like Michael Phelps, the challenge in that race took her to places and spaces in her inner being she had never accessed before. The challenge of the race changed her. Remember the lesson here: If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you. These days many people give up too soon. They quickly quit. They don’t access what is already in them. When I was a singles pastor at Grace Community Church and Northwest Community Church in the Phoenix area, I saw single after single, loaded with impossible loads they had never experienced before, reach into God and themselves, determined to get back on their feet again. The most impressive group were women who were recently divorced, in their mid-30s, with several children and no job experience. When they first came into our singles ministry, they thought they would never be healthy and functional again. A few were right about this. But most let the challenge change them. Kudos to those brave-hearted women who, like Michael Phelps with goggles full of water, reached into God and themselves and discovered the finish line and a new life was just ahead. No grit, no pearl. SEE DELPH PAGE 24

Peoria teen completes prestigious ‘Gold Award’ BY MAXIMO AGUILAR LAWLOR Glendale Star Staff Writer

Ashley Lucas, a graduate of Peoria High School, is leaving a lasting impact at her high school. The West Valley woman recently completed the Gold Award — the most prestigious award given by the Girl Scouts of America. According to the Girl Scouts of America website, in order to receive the Gold Award, scouts must identify an issue, investigate it thoroughly, find help and build a team, create and present a plan, receive feedback from Girl Scouts of America and take action. For Lucas’ issue, she noticed a lack of recycling efforts at Peoria High School, and decided to start a recycling club called the Green Team — an idea that would ultimately lead to the Gold Award. “It all kind of began last year — my junior year. I had noticed throughout campus and throughout different classrooms that there wasn’t any recycling bins,” Lucas said. “It was really hard to find a recycling bin to throw paper away or water bottles, and that’s how it really began.” Lucas took this idea and acted quickly. “Toward the end of the (school) year, I submitted in paperwork to start a new

Lucas finally found the members she needed, which allowed her to start up the club at the same time as school sessions kicked off. “I had brainstormed all these ideas (over the summer), and by the beginning of my senior year — which was fall 2018 — I had members and I had a support network to really help me complete my goal. Because of the lack of recycling bins in the school campus, Lucas figured she would start there. “St. Vincent de Paul had posted a Craigslist ad about a bunch of food crates they needed to get rid of for 50 cents a piece,” Lucas said. In June, Ashley Lucas completed her Gold Award — the “I went down there and got most prestigious award given by Girl Scouts of America. about 40 little food crates.” (Photo courtesy Annelise Krafft) But when she stopped by club with our clubs and activities direc- the church, officials were curious as to tor at Peoria High School, and over the why she needed so many food crates. summer it got approved,” Lucas said.

With the resources to implement a larger recycling culture at Peoria High, Lucas’ next step was to set up recycling pickup times. “We created a recycling schedule with our student council, so every couple days we’d go pick up recycling at the library or classes that needed pickout among the rest and has had a up and stuff like that,” she said. positive impact on their students, Lucas did not stop with recycling, school and community.

I had noticed throughout campus and throughout different classrooms that there wasn’t any recycling bins. It was really hard to find a recycling bin to throw paper away or water bottles, and that’s how it really began. – Ashley Lucas “I have a group of people still picking up and maintaining the recycling schedule (at Peoria High School), and they’re still fundraising for the water fountains that I envisioned,” Lucas said. She officially completed her Gold Award at the beginning of June, after her final interview with the Girl Scouts of America, and she is now waiting to receive her completion letter. As she moves on in her life, Lucas wants to remind people of the importance of recycling. “One of the easiest things to prevent litter and extra waste in landfills is to recycle,” Lucas said. “It’s so easy on our end to prevent an item going into a landfill and being created into something new again, again and again. I feel overall (recycling) keeps the community cleaner because most of the litter I see in my neighborhood is paper or water bottles — stuff that can be thrown in the recycle bin — and it just doesn’t happen to end up there.” Lucas attributes much of her growth to her 12 years as a Girl Scout. “I’ve learned the ability to expand my networking amongst the community, and (I’ve) developed my leadership skills as an individual,” she explained. “I want to thank all the teachers and all the students at Peoria High who supported me,” Lucas said. “I also want to thank my parents, who put up with my hoarding of cardboard boxes.” This fall, Lucas will study at Arizona State University, where she plans to major in sustainability.

All qualified firms interested in providing the required services are invited to submit their Statement of Qualifications (SOQ). All SOQ’s must comply with the requirements specified in this Request for Qualifications (RFQ). PROJECT DESCRIPTION The City of Glendale Arrowhead Ranch Water Reclamation Facility (ARWRF) provides tertiary treatment to produce Class A+ reclaimed water for reuse and recharge. The existing 6 -inch ductile iron pipe WAS line was constructed in the 1980’s and is in need of being rehabilitated due to concerns related to age and condition. The WAS pipeline is approximately 15,000 linear feet long and connects the ARWRF to a discharge manhole on 67th Avenue, approximately 620 feet north of Bell Road. From the ARWRF the pipeline runs south to Union Hills Drive, then east across AZ Loop 101 to 67th Avenue where it flows south to the discharge manhole. The existing WAS pipeline also includes 12 manholes and two air release valve manholes. The existing WAS line will require bypass pumping and hauling during construction operations. Once the bypass operation is in place and functional the WAS pipeline will need to be taken out of service, cleaned, and then slip lined using Primus Line® or an equal product. The existing manholes will be removed and replaced with vaults and valves for the
