Glendale considering sale of historic cemetery BY ANDREA ESTRADA Glendale Star Staff Writer

NEWS...............8 Anti-cigarette litter program results inconclusive

August 15, 2019

When residents and councilmembers joined Assistant City Manager Chris Anaradian at the Glendale Women’s Club on August 7 to discuss the proposed sale of the Glendale Memorial Park Cemetery, concerns over the fate of the historic property were raised. Councilman Jamie Aldama organized the meeting to keep residents in the loop on the potential sale, which the Glendale City Council will review and discuss at a workshop before voting on Tuesday, August 27. Anaradian discussed the property’s history — including its inability to become a

self-sustaining business — and the terms behind the transaction that is being proposed. According to Anaradian, the city loses nearly $100,000 a year maintaining the burial ground under the current public operating model. In 2018, a national consulting firm was hired to look at the cemetery’s operations and make recommendations for best practices. “They made two recommendations,” he said. “‘You put more money into it and really jump start it to be a business…or you find a private operator that can do it better than you.”’ When the city chose the latter, it worked with the same consulting firm to identify

interested parties and compile a marketing package, which was advertised in early May, said James Milanese, engineering administrator. Third-generation cemetery owner and native Arizonan John Hassett wants to purchase the Glendale Memorial Park Cemetery. “We’ve done our research on this potential buyer. We feel that they are well-qualified to protect the interest that we have in our public trust,” Anaradian said. Hassett will pay $100,000 to the city, which will then transfer $3.8 million to an irrevocable endowment trust, which will exclusively fund the perpetual care of the SEE CEMETERY PAGE 3

With mass shootings and threats frequent occurrences, Andrea Evans has to take her job seriously. As the security manager for AEG Facilities’ Gila River Arena, Evans is responsible for the building and everyone in it. “Unfortunately, we’re living in a world where bad things happen,” she said. “We have to work with our Glendale Police Department, Fire Department and FBI to make sure I’m up to date on everything that can possibly happen so I can protect the venue.” For her efforts, Evans was given the 2019 Professional of the Year Award at the recent National Sports Safety and Security Conference and Exhibition in New Orleans.

National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security (NCS4) at The University of Southern Mississippi. “The reason for the Professional of the Year Award is to allow professional leagues, NCAA member institutions, marathon and interscholastic athletics organizations to honor outstanding individuals in the field of sports safety and security for their contributions and leadership,” NCS4 Director Dr. Lou Marciani said. “These contributions involve enhancing safety and security at their venue beyond what is normally required and setting an example for others to follow.” Evans was selected by the National Hockey League along with a league official at the National Sports Safety and Security Conference & Exhibition. Marciani noted each league or organization selects the criteria and makes the determination as to which professional will be recognized. Evans has been with Gila River Arena since the venue opened in 2003 and has worked her way up to her current role of security manager, overseeing all security policy, personnel and procedures for the venue. “I was shocked, to be honest,” Evans

and I enjoy it thoroughly. It’s something different every single day.” Evans doesn’t get starstruck by the stars and athletes who pass through Gila River Arena. To her, they’re just everyday people. Evans was born and raised in Arizona. After graduating from Tolleson High School, she attended Long Medical Institute for sports medicine. She became certified but realized that wasn’t her calling. The Goodyear resident applied to be an MCSO detention officer. She sees protecting the community as her calling.

said about her award. “I know the NHL told me they were going to put me up for it, but I didn’t put two and two together until they called.” Prior to her role at Gila River Arena, Evans worked for the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office as a detention officer. She left the position to be a stay-athome mom to her three boys. When the arena staff announced its

opening, she applied for a part-time job in security “to get out of the house.” “As the kids got older, that allowed me to move up,” she said. “I enjoy it, but I never thought about working in a venue before. It was a fluke thing for me to get into. I wanted something part time, and security was a natural for me because of the sheriff’s department. “It’s an unbelievable place to work

We just want everybody to go home safely — the staff and guests. That’s the goal every time we open the doors. – Andrea Evans, Gila River Arena security manager

“I don’t look at it as stressful,” she said. “Even at the sheriff’s department, they ranked me so well on staying calm in situations. I don’t stress out. If we have a fight or a medical situation, I usually stay calm. If you get excited, the staff gets excited. I have to stay level with everyone.” Among her daily duties are driving around the venue, making sure nothing has changed or if vehicles were left abandoned. Her assistant patrols Gila River Arena as well. “We’re constantly walking around it, inside and out, checking security cameras and looking through everything,” Evans said. “Depending on who’s coming in — whether it’s a nonevent day or our dark days — we prepare. If it’s a nonevent day, people think it’s slow. But we’re getting ready for the hockey season now, training the staff, redoing policies and procedures, and going through with the local law enforcement what we need to do to make our building safer.” This season, the NHL is restricting bags to 12 inches by 12 inches, but they do not need to be clear. Backpacks are no longer permitted. “We just want everybody to go home safely — the staff and guests,” she said. “That’s the goal every time we open the doors. We want everybody to enjoy the event and go home the same way they came in. I do say a prayer every morning before I leave for work, because that’s what I need to go on with my day. That’s the only thing I have in my back pocket.”

site. Those funds come from a perpetual care fund that is currently valued at $5.8 million. When asked why the city is not transferring all $5.8 million, Anaradian said the fund, which has been subsidized city-wide, accumulated more money than is necessary in private hands. “That is money the city council did not count on when they prepared the budget for the year that we’re in and future years. That is new revenue that the council would then have to consider what to do with that,” Anaradian explained. And when Regina Zambrano, who said she has family in the cemetery, asked if those buried would be removed under private operation, Anaradian said no one is moving. “The cemetery isn’t turning into something else.

chances of us even finding the people to sign the paper means that we would not be able to make that happen, if we wanted to,” he said. Because municipal cemeteries are exempt from all operational assurances — including background checks on owners, contract disclosures and demonstration of financial capability — the Glendale Memorial Park Cemetery is better off privately owned, Hassett said. “I know there was a conversation

of, ‘Where’s grandma going to go? Where’s my aunt and my uncle going to go?’ Under me, they can’t go anywhere. That’s not going to happen,” Hassett said. “You’re actually — I’m not saying the city is going to do it — at more risk to close the cemetery under government control than under private sector control.” If approved by city council, the transition to private operation will take 60 to 90 days.

Southwest Gas warns customers of digging

Southwest Gas encourages customers to call 811 before digging. (Submitted photo)

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Southwest Gas is warning customers of the dangers associated with digging into a utility line and encourage customers to know what’s below — call 811 before you dig. Most people are unaware that natural gas, electricity, communications, water and other types of utility lines that communities rely on run through corridors directly underneath them. Many of which may be buried just a few inches below ground. Unfortunately, too many people in the United States will dig this year without first having underground utility-owned lines properly marked. This can cause interruption of service to customers and, more importantly, poses an extreme safety risk to the person digging. Southwest Gas reminds the public that a natural gas leak can be detected by a distinct sulfur-like odor, like rotten eggs, even if it’s faint or momentary. Unusual hissing or roaring coming from the ground or an above-ground pipeline, bubbling water and discol-

ored plants or grass surrounding a pipeline can also be signs of a leak. Contact Arizona 811 from anywhere in Arizona at least two full working days prior to digging. Arizona 811 will send the utility companies out to the site to locate and mark the underground lines, pipes and cables at, or near, a planned dig site. Customers can also make an 811 ticket request easily online using E-Stake. In Arizona, uniform color codes for marking of underground utilities are: Red — electric power Orange — communications, cable TV, fiber optics (with F) Yellow — gas, oil, dangerous materials, products lines Green — sanitary sewer systems Blue — water systems, slurry pipelines Purple — reclaimed water Pink — temporary survey White — proposed excavation Southwest Gas Corporation provides natural gas service to over 2 million customers in Arizona, California and Nevada.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The city of Glendale has announced that Deputy Chief Jeff McMenemy has completed the National Fire Academy’s Executive Fire Officer Program (EFOP). McMenemy joins an elite group of highly skilled and experienced fire service leaders from across the country by completing this intensive program designed for senior fire officers. The EFOP provides senior fire officers with a broad perspective on various aspects of fire administration, including team development, community risk reduction, fire service operations and executive leadership. The EFOP spans a four-year period and consists of four “core” courses, which are two weeks in length. Hundreds of hours were spent on research projects applying concepts from the courses to specific situations in the city of Glendale.

The EFOP is an exemplary program built on a solid curriculum with research that examines how leaders can manage difficult problems within their jurisdictions. The skills McMenemy gained during this experience will benefit the Glendale Fire Department and McMenemy professionally and personally. McMenemy can apply this new knowledge to problems faced within the community and help better serve the city of Glendale. McMenemy joins a prestigious list of only 110 graduates from the state of Arizona since the program’s inception in 1985. He has served the citizens of Glendale for over 26 years and was promoted to deputy chief in 2016. The Glendale Fire Department believes gaining knowledge and staying current with new information is imperative to the growth and safety of its membership.

Inconsistent results hinder anti-cigarette litter study

BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE Glendale Star Staff Writer

After a seven-month study, results on the effectiveness of educational marketing to combat Glendale’s cigarette litter have been deemed inconclusive. The study was ignited in May of last year in response to a city council request to study how educational marketing campaigns would affect cigarette litter. Anti-cigarette litter signs in popular smoking locations throughout several parks, promoting the movement at events throughout the community, stuffing water bill envelopes with informational flyers about the hindrance of cigarette litter in public spaces, web-

page updates and giveaways were all part of the city’s incentive for citizens to do their part in keeping the parks clean. Over the seven-month period of the study, the number of cigarette butts decreased from over 1,200 at several of the city’s parks to 875; however, two measures taken between each end of the study had shown an increase of total cigarette litter, which peaked at nearly 2,000 butts. Hopeful for more stable and positive results, Interim Civic Center Administrator Stephanie Miller said the inconsistency in the numbers may have crippled the study, but did not hinder the city’s continued efforts to get the

word out about throwing away trash at the parks. “Parks are a wonderful place for families and individuals and the community to come out and recreate and enjoy the amenities that we have. While it might be just one cigarette butt in a specific location, litter definitely adds up and we want to make sure that we provide the best park experience for our citizens so we need help from park users to help try and keep the parks clean,” Miller said. Miller added that the city has decided to continue its efforts in decreasing cigarette-generated trash by keeping the signage in place and continuing to spread the word about the impact litter has on the community.

The city has also decided to shift its focus on all types of trash in the parks, Miller said. “Unless we are directed to, we will not be doing counts like this again in the foreseeable future. Looking forward, our efforts will be more focused on keeping our parks clean in general,” Miller said. Miller added that although there are no city-run events for the public to get involved in anti-cigarette or litter campaigns, they are always welcome to clean up the parks on their own and take a deeper look into the educational outreach the city will continue.

Massacres underscore need for gun control BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

Here’s a sad, shameful confession: No longer do I pay attention to news coverage of American mass shootings. That sounds callous, as if I mean to minimize the grief of those who have lost loved ones. Nothing could be further from the truth. But when it comes to angry white males mowing down multiple human beings with a semi-automatic assault weapon, I have seen this picture show enough to have it memorized. The ﬁrst time I saw it up close was April 1999, when the Big Newspaper in Phoenix ﬂew me to Colorado to write about the Columbine tragedy. The police were still on the scene when I arrived.

I spent days talking to high school students and grieving parents about those they had lost, and gathering details about Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris, sick teenage freaks who together subtracted 13 people from this world.

ed. I didn’t watch a minute of it. By nature, I am a problem-solver. Broken things, broken systems, cry out for repair. So, you’ll excuse me if I don’t have the stomach to drench myself in other people’s misery any longer. Not when we as Americans appear to have lost the backbone to fix what ails us. Face facts. We live in the most gun-crazy developed nation on the planet. By a lot. The most oft-cited worldwide study of murders by firearm stacks up like so: Australia, 1.4 gun murders per million people. Germany, 1.9 gun murders per million. Canada, 5.1 gun murders per million. Then there’s Switzerland with 7.7 gun homicides per million Swiss. The United States? 29.7 firearm homicides per million people. Many Americans blame this atrocious murder rate on the prevalence of guns. The global Small Arms Survey reports that American civilians own approximately 393 million guns. That’s about 120 guns per 100 Americans. Others cite mental health as the reason for this gun violence. They work backwards from bodies strewn in school hallways, nightclubs and big-box stores and reason that “only a lunatic would do such a thing.” They cite the hate-filled rantings these

killers inevitably leave behind as evidence of their singular mental sickness. Commence yet another long and loud “national conversation.” Commence more coverage of more dead, more Columbines and Sandy Hooks, more Las Vegas music festivals shot to pieces, more Pulse nightclubs, more El Pasos, more Daytons. More, more, more. At some point in the problem-solving process, you need to stop describing the problem and take action to implement solutions. Neither gun availability nor crazy white men stand alone as the problem. Rather, they are both the problem. And both demand solutions. Surely, in what we believe to be the best, smartest, richest, most advanced nation on earth, we can find ways to make guns more difficult to own — especially for nuts — while respecting the constitutional right to own firearms. Surely, we can find more and better ways to “red flag” young Americans with a propensity and a thirst for violence and get them the treatment they need. Surely, we had better, because just as surely we will wake up to more newscasts filled with more bodies on many more mornings in America. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Glendale has sneaky way to pursue a pay raise

Editor: I hope the city councilmembers have read the articles by Laurie Roberts of the Arizona Republic, Connor Dziawura of The Glendale Star and Jen Fiﬁeld of the Glendale Republic. I also hope Glendale citizens read this article about how a compensation committee was hastily formed by a councilmember, and four of the members including the mayor voted to have this charter amendment proposal for a 55% pay raise added to the November election ballot. This action — taken at a special meeting during the summer vacation, when all thought any city action would be silent for a while — was a sneaky way to pursue a pay raise. What is even more revealing when you read the proposed charter amendment change is that they want to eliminate the citizens ever voting for a pay raise for the city council if voters approve this in the November election. Instead of the current charter amendment, which states the citizens must decide if a pay raise is warranted, they have proposed that the city manager or his designee will be able to address this issue of a pay raise by using the median salary of all the Glendale employees to ensure their pay is 1% percent lower on an annual basis. If this is approved by the voters in November, this will mean they have taken the salary of the council and mayor out of the hands of the citizens and that “We the People” will no longer be able to decide if they deserve a raise based on their performance on policy decisions, leadership skills and accountability issues, which are areas through which the citizens should be able to judge if the city council deserves a pay raise. Also, there are around 248,000 citizens in Glendale, so why would the mayor need 30% more that the councilmembers? He only has one vote, and pandering to the public with his business-of-the-month plaques does not qualify him for 30% more in pay. Vote “no” this November to this slapin-the-face charter amendment.

Judge Wismer a positive inﬂuence

Editor: It appears there is a grave health problem looming, with young people thinking vaporless cigarettes (vaping) are not harmful to their health. Nothing could be further from the truth, as it is extremely dangerous! Judge Craig Wismer of the Arrowhead Justice Court tells us it is the major cause of juvenile offenders in his court, which is almost certainly the same in all of the Justice Courts. Judge Wismer is bringing this not only to our attention, but is doing something about it. I have had the pleasure of knowing Judge Wismer, and this does not surprise anyone who knows him. He is serving on the bench to try and make a difference. We are all blessed to have such a man as Craig Wismer who, as our judge, is positively inﬂuencing all of us as well as our next generation.

Amerisleep co-founder talks mattress brand BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Amerisleep began as an online retailer in 2010, but did something many retailers are actually moving away from: it created a brick-and-mortar store. After opening its first physical location in Gilbert two years ago in SanTan Village, Amerisleep today as has 11 showrooms in four states, with Valley locations in Glendale and Scottsdale. A Forbes magazine article once described Amerisleep as “the Apple store of mattress stores.” As Amerisleep reached its two-year anniversary in July since making its jump from online, Joey Holt, co-founder and COO, shared his thoughts about the company.

What prompted the move from online to a physical building? Holt: Our move into retail was in response to customer demand. As our business grew online, we received increasing interest from customers who wanted to try out our beds in person.

Many wanted to experience the Amerisleep difference firsthand before they committed to making a purchase. Indeed, buying a mattress (even when you know you can return it later) is a big decision to make. So, we focused on what would truly delight the cus-

Holt: At Amerisleep, we approach our sleep solutions differently compared with other brands. Most other businesses apply a good-better-best approach to their beds.

Instead, as a direct-to-consumer company, we price our mattresses affordably and only offer five models that range from firm to soft. With these, customers can select the comfort level that meets their unique sleep needs.

Mexican chain brings a taste of Sonoran seafood to the Valley Glendale Star Staff Writer

Reinventing classic, Mexican seafood dishes is a craft Los Arbolitos de Cajeme has mastered over its 31 years in operation. With dishes like Camarón Sonora — shrimp sauteed in pico de gallo chile and a Sonora house cream; and Pulpo a Las Brasas — grilled, seasoned octopus — the Mexican chain out of Sonora has made a name for itself throughout Mexico. It recently opened its first U.S. location in Phoenix. The new location, at 3508 W. Peoria Avenue, is the chain’s 21st restaurant among others in cities like Chihuahua, Guadalajara and Mexico City. But Eduardo Dominguez, the Phoenix manager, said business took off in a municipality in Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, called Cajeme. “Coming from an impoverished family and out of necessity, our director started selling seafood on a tricycle at

More than anything: attention, the service, being there,” Dominguez said. Dominguez, who has been with the company for 16 years, said once the Phoenix restaurant reaches the success they hope to see, they plan on opening a location in Mesa. Spanning into other American states is a possibility, too, he said. “With this restaurant, we’ve realized nothing is impossible. All it takes is getting there and making it work with your effort,” Dominguez said. “We’re people, like many others who come from far away, that are here looking for a dream and hoping to find it. We hope it goes well for us.” Los Arbolitos de Cajeme is open daily from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit Los Arbolitos de Cajeme Phoenix Az on Facebook.

Business Briefcase

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Hello, readers, and welcome back to another rousing week of Business Briefcase! This time on our agenda, we have plenty of burgers and brews to go around, as a new local establishment opened this year and has been steadily garnering popularity among residents and passersby alike. Beyond that new business, however, in today’s column you’ll read about a chamber-involved ribbon-cutting and a networking- and marketing-centric event. Here’s the news!

First, have you checked out Burgers & Brews yet? This restaurant opened earlier this year. Menu items encompass a variety of tasty American eats, from cheese steak to grilled chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches, hot dogs of several varieties and, of course, burgers and brews. Burgers include the classic, a brunch burger, the Cali burger, a western burger, burgers topped with mac and cheese or chili and the beloved and much-sought after Impossible Burger for vegetarian and vegan eaters. Starters range from wings to cheese curds, from fried mushrooms or pickles to jalapeño poppers, from mozzarella sticks to spicy popcorn shrimp and beyond. Adults who are of drinking age can grab a domestic, specialty or premium beer with their entrée. And for the younger folk, there is a kids’ menu with items like hot dogs, chicken tenders and mac and cheese. Burgers & Brews is at 6670 W. Cactus Road, Suite A108, northeast of Cactus Road and 67th Avenue. Business hours are listed as 11 a.m. to 9

The Glendale

p.m. most of the week, with the exception of Fridays and Saturdays, which stay open an extra two hours. For more information, call 623-776-2266 or visit burgersbrews.business.site.

Women & Wine, workshops, philanthropic efforts, conferences and networking opportunities. The ribbon will be cut at 5 p.m., with the monthly F.O.X.Y. Women West networking/ self-care event following until 7 p.m. It is held at Arizona Broadway Theatre, 7701 W. Paradise Lane, Peoria. ABT is a Glendale Chamber of Commerce member. For more information or to attend, RSVP to Foxfire Events owner Heather Rausch at heather@ foxfireeventsrock.com or call 602677-9535. Finally, the Glendale Chamber’s September Lunch & Learn, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, September 10, will focus on online listings, reputation management and reviews through sites like Google Maps, Yahoo!

ful sleep, relieve pain-causing pressure points and help them sleep cool. Plus, our award-winning brand offers exceptional customer service with our 100-night, risk-free sleep trial, 20year warranty and certified sleep science coaches. How has the industry changed since opening Amerisleep’s ﬁrst physical store? Holt: Amerisleep saw the opportunity to help redefine the retail experience for consumers who now expect a customer-first mattress shopping experience, in light of hundreds of traditional mattress stores closing across the country. Overseas, too, customers are recognizing the importance of sleep. Earlier this year, we opened our sixth showroom in South Korea. What advice do you give for people looking to buy a bed? Holt: Determine your true sleep needs and find the right solution that can address them. Some customers have the misconception that all they need to do is walk into a mattress store and buy the best model within their budget.

However, we advise shoppers to avoid looking purely based on price, as most other mattress companies use sneaky tactics to sell you the same mattress under different names and at vastly different prices. Instead, we encourage you to learn how the design, materials and technology of a bed can help enhance your comfort and provide a deeper sleep. How much money should a consumer plan on spending for a quality bed and how long do beds need to be replaced? Holt: A good mattress is an investment. You spend one-third of your life in bed, so it’s important that you make every minute count. In fact, a mattress is something you spend more time using than any other household item, including your car. Thankfully, you don’t have to spend $5,000 to get a quality night’s sleep. Of course, you’ll want to buy something that can last decades as well. Amerisleep mattresses start at $999 for a queen, and with our 100-night sleep trial and 20-year warranty you can rest assured knowing your purchase is protected.

NCAA Basketball Academy gives taste of expectations BY SEBASTIAN EMANUEL Cronkite News

In an attempt to address issues surrounding summer basketball that sparked the involvement of the federal government, the NCAA Basketball Academy made its four-region debut recently. One of the sites was Grand Canyon University. The camp, also held at Illinois, Connecticut and Houston, was designed to give top high school basketball players an idea of life at the college level. The message was sent not only through drills and competition but through life skills sessions including social media education and eligibility rules. It was also a way for the NCAA to respond to the 2017 college basketball corruption investigation by keeping at a distance shoe companies and agents. Coaches could be there. Shoe company representatives couldn’t. “As we get younger players into college basketball and to the professional ranks, having them be prepared both physically, mentally and emotionally is our responsibility in some ways,” said Dan Gavitt, the NCAA’s senior vice president of basketball. Approximately 1,200 players attended the free academy at the four locations. Some top-ranked players were there but many, according to scouting services, were those more destined for mid-majors. Steve Lavin, the commissioner of the West Region academy at GCU and former coach at UCLA and St. John’s, said the NCAA had a short window to launch the camp but future meetings will determine how to improve it. “Now we can go back in a couple weeks and modify and look at the selection process,” Lavin said. “Consider the dates in the summer period that make the most sense.” Among the players taking part in the GCU camp were senior forward Lu-

cas Haupt (San Diego), junior forward Tre Carroll (Punta Gorda, Florida) and guard Hunter Sallis (Omaha, Nebraska). All three players were involved in daily drills, life-skills education and games during their stay. “Waking up in the morning and having to come over here and then do drills and doing the optional work,” Sallis said. “It’s really getting us prepared for college and what college is going to be like.” Haupt said he wanted to come to the camp and that the opportunity has been good for him to showcase his skills. “They talked to us about how to improve some of our skills on the court like our athletic ability,” Haupt said. “They also talked to us about making sure we are eligible and gives us a better understanding of the NCAA rules.” The camp isn’t just focused on improving the high school players’ basketball abilities. It’s also preparing them for the daily routine of a college athlete. “There’s a whole life skills program that is going on with this,” Gavitt said. “A couple of the components are around academics and what kind of high school grades and test scores you need in order to qualify to be a college

basketball player to receive an athletic scholarship. “That’s very valuable information from not only the prospects but the parent or guardian who is here with them as well so that they can lay out their academic plan for high school. Having these things on college campuses in classrooms and having college like drills and games and college officials is all a part of the plan here to expose them to what college basketball is like.” Carroll said the life-skill classes were valuable because “I learned some stuff that I didn’t know before, like some of the courses and the ACT/ SAT (information). This is a big help. It even helps when I go to college because I’ll know what to expect.” The day in the life of a college ath-

lete isn’t easy, Lavin said. “It’s study hall, weights, individual workouts, regular scheduled practice, film work, scouting reports and a full load of classes. Little idea, a glimpse of what it’s like at the higher level of college athletics.” The NCAA Basketball Academy is in its first year but Gavitt knows a long-term vision will help the academy continue to grow. Lavin agreed. “I don’t think anyone is naive to think that this is a quick fix,” he said. “This is the first step of a long journey as we continue to work cooperatively with people from USA Basketball, the NBA, NCAA, the NABC (National Association of Basketball Coaches) to try and improve the game and protect what’s great about the game.”

Sunnyslope football riding moniker into 2019 season BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

None of the current roster was on campus for what could be considered the recent “glory days” of Sunnyslope Viking football. From 2013-15, the Vikings had an overall record of 32-4 and were high playoff seeds in each postseason. Playing a tough schedule and ravaged by injuries to many key starters and contributors, the Vikings went 5-6 in 2018 and exited in the first round of the playoffs. This season, though, the Vikings believe they can turn their record around. “We’re looking to surprise some teams this year. We’re always an underdog, and we’re coming out to fight,” senior quarterback Niko Haen said. Sunnyslope seems to have taken strongly to that “underdog” identity, as the players understand recent history and are motivated by a chance to play many of the same opponents again this year. “We want to get revenge on some of these teams we lost to last season; that’s a big goal of ours,” Haen said. It is not as if talent level has dipped in recent years, either. Coach Damon Pieri, rather, said the number of skilled

players has remained the same from seasons past, but the schedule has simply gotten more difficult. Each of the Vikings’ six losses last season came to 5A playoff teams, including three to the teams in the state championship game — two losses to Centennial and one to Notre Dame Prep, which went undefeated in the regular season. Even still, the self-imposed idea of Sunnyslope as David compared to the Goliaths of the 5A conference remains strong. “You look around and you can see we don’t have overall tremendous

team speed, we don’t have huge size, so we’ve just got to grind out wins and practice hard and do it that way,” Pieri said. Where the team looks to be incredibly strong, though, is on offense, led by the passing combination of Haen and brother/receiver David Haen. Replacements have come in on the offensive line to take the spots of several past starters that graduated this summer, but the skill positions could prove among the best in the region. On the other end, Sunnyslope flipped nearly the entire defensive starting

lineup, according senior defensive lineman Kaden Taylor. There is no way to fully simulate game speed and pressure, but facing a slew of talented offensive players on a daily basis is about as close as the new defense can ask for. Pieri describes the situation as “sink or swim” for the new defenders, and they seem to be catching on day by day. “I think going up against D1 guys like Niko and David, we’re going against the best every day, and that is the best way to prepare for other teams,” Taylor said. While the talent spread across the landscape of Glendale and Peoria district football seems to have only gotten stronger, the Vikings hope a solid performance can push them into the conversation as one of the area’s top teams. The players have something to prove, and Pieri believes in them, as well. “You never know how the football season is going to play out,” Pieri said. “But, if things go right, I think we can be pretty good.”

Mountain Ridge senior invited to EXOS Top 50 showcase BY GRIFFIN FABITS

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

Josh Heinz’s chase for an athletic scholarship has gained significant momentum, this after the Mountain Ridge High School senior was invited to participate at the EXOS Select 50 instructional showcase in Phoenix on August 3. The camp features 50 of the “top tier soccer players in the west region,” per an EXOS press release, comprised of “future college talent, all-state and all-district athletes from Arizona, New Mexico and Utah.” EXOS is an organization geared toward sports performance, training and wellness. Heinz was reportedly chosen by EXOS because of his accomplishments as a member of Mountain Ridge’s varsity soccer program. Last winter, the defenseman appeared in 18 of the Mountain Lions’ 19 games, averaging 71 minutes per game.

He was named the team’s Defensive Player of the Year and also netted All-District Team honors.

A chunk of the seven-hour showcase saw the invitees performing agility tests such as 40-yard dashes, shuttle runs and broad jumps. The afternoon concluded with practices and drills at Paradise Valley Community College. Heinz deemed the invitation by EXOS special for multiple reasons, but chief among them was the opportunity to spend a day playing in front of scouts and college coaches, plus current and former profes-

sional players. “It was really cool,” he said. “I’ve put in a lot of work to becoming a soccer

player. I’ve played many, many years, and it’s pretty cool to be recognized.” Heinz had several one-on-one conversations with coaches, all offering advice on how he can elevate his game to become an even more attractive college prospect. “There were a couple times where I’d lose the ball and not rush to get it back, so they told me to keep going. It’s easier to get the ball right after you lose it than a couple seconds later because they’re on a breakaway or something.” Among the representatives in attendance, Heinz chatted with a Paradise Valley coach as well as an assistant from Grand Canyon University. Where he’ll further his soccer career after high school remains to be seen, but Heinz left the showcase feeling encouraged, optimistic that a university will ultimately benefit from his services. “It gave me a lot more confidence. Being one of the 50 in Utah, New Mexico and Arizona region is really cool.”

EJ’s Auction & Appraisal auctioning rare items BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF An oil painting attributed to the famous landscape artist Thomas Moran and a vintage motion picture camera believed to have been used by the Navy are among some 40 rare and high-end collectibles that will be auctioned at 6 p.m. Friday, August 30, at EJ’s Auction & Appraisal, 5880 W. Bell Road, in Glendale, on the northeast corner of 59th Avenue and Bell Road. The framed oil painting “King’s Canyon” measures 43.5 inches high by 31.5 inches wide and is attributed to Thomas Moran (1837-1926). A family heirloom for 60 years, the painting was first purchased by Hugh Meinhardt in 1959 from the Paul Metcalf Art Gallery in Los Angeles and shipped to Quincy, Illinois. His daughter, Carlene Meinhardt Geisler, inherited the painting in 1966 and kept it in her personal collection until she passed in 2004. The painting was then bequeathed to Carlene’s daughter, Sharon Geisler Cushman, and her cousin, Nell Sue, and shipped to Cushman’s home in Mesa.

Jackie Kashian sharing ‘well-kept secret’ at Stir Crazy BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Jackie Kashian describes herself as “a pretty well-kept secret.” But the comedian, set to bring her stand-up routine to Stir Crazy Comedy Club from Thursday, August 22, through Saturday, August 24, has in fact been performing since the 1980s. In those days, Kashian got regular stage time in Madison, Wisconsin, where she attended the University of Wisconsin. Since then, she has cultivated a career that has seen her travel all over to perform. And yet, she has not become the household name of some of her contemporaries. “What I am, in my opinion, is just very successful. I am enormously lucky I get to do stand-up comedy almost every night if I want to, but what I’m not is that wider fame that everybody around knows who I am,” Kashian said. “That’s not really what I’m aiming for, though. If I don’t get there, I don’t want to be bitter because I didn’t get there. Because I think some people

want so much and then if they don’t reach the level of fame or what they consider to be success, they can get

bitter. If I keep my vision on my version of success, I’m happy.” Kashian does have a significant following, though — enough to sell out shows and keep her working. One way she has increased her audience has been hosting and appearing on podcasts, comedy-based or otherwise. She has hosted “The Dork Forest,” in which she interviews subjects on things they love to “dork out about,” since 2006, and also co-hosts a standup comedy podcast with Laurie Kilmartin called “The Jackie and Laurie Show.” Because of the variety of topics on which she speaks, and the insight she provides into her own life, Kashian of-

ten has fans approach her after shows. Many of them know more about her history and career than anybody should. Along with her podcasts, fans can listen to her comedy albums, including her 2017 release, “I Am Not the Hero of this Story,” on iTunes and other streaming services. Since that album came out, she has toured the country and her hometown of Los Angeles, writing and tinkering with jokes to eventually release another album or TV special. This part of the timeline of developing material for another album, she said, is one of her favorite aspects of stand-up. “It’s a lot of fun because you have some of it down, but it’s new for people that have already listened to the albums or are familiar with my work — I remember one guy in the front row at a show that was saying all the words along with me because he’d memorized my whole album — so it’s kind of fun being able to try new stuff out,” she said.

August 15, 2019 KASHIAN FROM PAGE 19

A woman comedian of Armenian descent, Kashian’s opinions, and thus her material, have a different slant than many of her counterparts in the comedy world. She said a lot of her jokes have to do with her takes on current events or social issues. Some fans may even follow her on social media, where she often will read news stories of the day and give her commentary. What she stresses, though, is that when it is time to get on stage, she has no political agenda. Her goal is to simply put on a good show. “Some people think my stand-up is just going to be like some sort of TED Talk or lecture. That’s not it,” she said. “It’s fun. It’s comedy. I’m there to make you laugh, and if you’re having a good time, that’s what it’s about.”

Pastor Delph: Being young all the years of your life Let’s start with this short story. A medical student was shocked when he received a failing grade in radiology. Approaching the professor, he demanded to know the reason for the grade. “Do you remember the X-ray you took of yourself?” the professor asked. “I do,” the student said. “A ﬁne picture,” the professor said, “of your lungs, stomach and liver.” “If it’s a ﬁne picture, then why did you give me an F?” the student asked. “I had no choice,” the professor said. “You didn’t put your heart into it.” By the time you are reading this article, I will be 70 years old. I’ve never been this old before. My childhood here in Phoenix seems like it was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. There were still dinosaurs alive when I was born. Recently I went to an antique show and people started bidding on me. My retirement to-do list has just one

thing to do: wake up. I’ve survived the ‘60s twice. My doormat says, “Knock slowly. I’m putting on my pants.” When I look up into the sky, I have no idea which cloud holds all my data. Being cremated is my last hope for a smoking, hot body. When did my wild oats turn into shredded wheat? I run like the winded. My stomach is ﬂat. The “L” is just silent. When I drive to the store my wife is thinking, “My soulmate is out there somewhere pushing a pull door.” As I observe people, I can’t believe

how old some people my age are. That’s not criticism, just observation. There has been no gold for them in their golden days. I understand major health issues, things that have happened in life, physical work, genetics and the like can make anyone look older than they are. Allow me to share a recent “a-ha” someone noticed about me in this stage of my life. Whether young or old, this revelation has the potential to transform the way you think, and even look, in and during your golden years. Recently I traveled to South Africa for three weeks of speaking engagements. I spoke in seven different cities from the top to the bottom of South Africa in the business, education and church meetings. One Saturday, I spoke ﬁve times in formal presentations from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., excluding our lunch and dinner times. I presented some 20plus times on the trip. Everyone kept asking me, “How old are you? You have so much energy. You are relevant and contemporary. You inspire us. This is different. You are creating personal revivals inside us. You’re pointing us forward. You are in your early 60s, right?” Please understand the people said this, not me. When I am speaking in Singapore, the English-speaking Chinese guess I am in my late 50s. I like to travel stealth. On one occasion in my trip, a man was guessing my age. I told him I was turning 70 soon. That surprised him. Then he said something to me that I will never forget. It shook me. It changed me. It was like he handed me a key of life I had never seen before in the way I see now. Here’s what he said. “I know why you are the way you are, looking, thinking and speaking younger than your age. You look forward. You think forward. You’re not retreating; you’re advanc-

ing.” I didn’t know I was doing that. He gave me words that captured a real-life principle. Here’s the principle: Barring very difficult health or life difficulties, a key to finding some gold in the golden years is to keep facing and looking forward. I think many older people quit looking and thinking forward, moving into a survive-rather-than-thrive mode. Like the story this article started with, they quit putting their heart into life. I love it when people have heart, especially older people. They accomplish more, persevere, look up, live up and perform up, even in the hard times. Many times, the difference between abundant life and abundant strife is heart. Older people, maybe you aren’t what you used to be physically, but you can have heart. And younger people, look forward, engage life with heart and finish strong. Jesus had heart. He said, “The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work He started.” Jesus was born to accomplish an incredible mission and He loved it. He raised the dignity of people. He healed them physically, emotionally and spiritually. He loved them to the point of dying for them. Even at the end of His life, Jesus kept facing forward. The lesson here is we can’t live on someone else’s forward-facing heart. The best way to face forward is to set unachievable deadline for yourself and put your heart into it. You will find the deadline you set is really a lifeline. It might even restore some of your youth. Maybe you will be stealth like me. You see that? I can still tell you a thing or two about a thing or two.

Read Better Be Better awarded $3,500 grant BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Nonprofit after-school reading comprehension organization Read Better Be Better (RBBB) was awarded a $3,500 grant from Glendale’s From the Heart Founda-

PUZZLE ANSWERS

answers

tion to expand services to Alhambra Elementary School District students. RBBB began serving Alhambra students at three schools during the spring semester. This is the first year RBBB received a From the Heart grant. Established in 2014, RBBB was created to address the literacy crisis in Arizona. Middle school youth leaders help third-grade students identified by school personnel as need-

ing targeted reading intervention. Students work together in a one-onone capacity to build reading comprehension and learning skills and to develop an enjoyment of reading. Teachers report that, on average, students show more than 20% comprehension improvement and 20% concentration improvement after participating in RBBB after-school programs compared with nonparticipating students. “Our program focuses on what a student can achieve

rather than what they can’t,” founder and CEO Sophie Etchart said. “Children want to do well. They want to read better. Our middle schoolers want more responsibility and to be empowered. Students can achieve both goals in our program by pairing up and working together. The end results are educated leaders of tomorrow.” From the Heart’s mission is to promote the positive development of youth, strengthen the capabilities of families, and assist residents in addressing crisis needs by supplementing the resources of existing community agencies.

Peoria Unified, GCC partner for preschool BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Peoria Unified School District has partnered with Glendale Community College to open its newest Early Childhood Learning Center. This partnership provides Peoria Unified’s community preschool program to serve its youngest learners in a new way. Dr. Debbie Pischke, the director of the Peoria ECCEL Preschool Program, said, “This is a great collaboration that will support GCC students, young children and families within our school district.” In addition to providing a quality program for children, this partnership allows students enrolled in Glendale Community College’s Early Childhood Program to observe and intern in classrooms under the direction of a certified teacher. This program is also expected to support the teaching pipeline. The district will have an opportunity to hire outstanding employees from the program

upon graduation, knowing they have experience in a quality early childhood program. This is a lab school, which means there are microphones and cameras in the room for educational purposes. The classroom has a large twoway window so students can observe real-time instruction. Judy Basham, the Early Childhood Education Program director at Glendale Community College, said, “This is a great collaboration that will help support and teach students who are pursuing careers in early childhood education. It gives GCC students from many instructional areas the opportunity to observe, teach and implement lesson activities while preparing them for entry into the workforce.” Starting last August, Peoria Unified and Glendale Community College began the partnership process. The partnership was formalized in March. The Early Childhood Learning Center is in the Technology 1 building, 6000 W. Olive Avenue, Glendale.
