Council shuffles citizens’ comments to end of agenda BY ERIC NEWMAN
Glendale Star Staff Writer
BUSINESS .... 10 Chzburgr aims to bring SoCal to Glendale
In its first meeting following a July adjournment, a majority of the Glendale City Council voted August 13 to move citizens’ comments from the beginning to the end of the agenda for all future regular voting meetings. Councilmen Jamie Aldama and Bart Turner opposed the move, which was overwhelmingly supported by Mayor Jerry Weiers and four other councilmembers. Considered practical by some and political by others, this is not the first time the council has shifted citizens’ comments through its formal agenda. Council meetings are primarily business
meetings of the city and have a number of legal requirements that must be satisfied, including posting an agenda prior to conducting a public meeting. The August 13 meeting had just two speakers, one a Glendale resident. Because the mayor and council can only act upon matters that appear on the printed agenda, citizens’ comments tend to be random in nature and are limited to three minutes. Citizens are provided the opportunity to speak to any agenda item and have up to five minutes to do so. Vice Mayor Joyce Clark noted that meetings were, in the past, scheduled to start at 7 p.m., which, for families and those needing to work the next day, was the perfect

time for people to make their comments without having to be away from home at a late hour. Now that meetings begin at 5:30 p.m., she said waiting until the end does not necessitate citizens staying up extraordinarily late to voice their concerns. “I don’t think it disenfranchises anyone. It would in most cases still be at an earlier time than when we had our night-time meetings,” Clark said. Sahuaro Councilman Ray Malnar agreed, saying the change would actually make it easier for working-class citizens to make the meeting without having to rush straight from their jobs or other daytime responsibilities.

Glendale police are investigating after two men were shot dead at a home near Maryland and 63rd avenues earlier this week. Police determined the victims — Juan Rudy Gomez, 28, and Albert Anthony Gonzales, 30 — were shot in their sleep. According to officers, the call came in around 5:35 a.m. August 18. Officers and medical personnel found Gomez and Gonzales suffering from life-threatening wounds, to which they succumbed despite lifesaving efforts. Police have revealed little else about the case, which remains under investigation. SEE HOMICIDE PAGE 2

Glendale considering mandatory bike parking BY ERIC NEWMAN

The city of Glendale’s transportation oversight committee is considering the inclusion of a bicycle parking component as part of an update to the city’s zoning code. The previous code had no requirements for buildings — either private or public — to provide parking for bicycles in or around their lots assigned with car spaces. Transportation planner Patrick Sage said at a recent meeting that he has heard several complaints from Glendale residents saying the city’s biggest attractions — such as Westgate and Gila River Arena — do not have adequate bike parking spaces. Some even lock their bikes on nearby trees. “That’s a real missed opportunity,” he told the committee. In discussing the potential for an

not calling can be life threatening and costly.

addition to the code, Sage referred to other nearby cities, and their individual codes, as something to base Glendale’s potential upgrades on. He said Mesa requires bicycle parking at “practically all new development” except for single-family homes. New construction must allow, he said, a minimum of three bike spots, or one for every 10 car slots, whichever is greater. Scottsdale has a similar policy, he said, but it starts with developments that have 40 or more car parking spaces assigned to their facilities. While the idea of including the bicycle parking in the updated code excited several of the committee members, the new code, as it stands, would not likely include mandatory renovations to already-existing buildings. Sage said it would be “extremely difficult” to go back and make changes to the lots and outside structures that have been in place previously. The ruling would merely affect any new developments or construction in Glendale. “This is not a plan for the city taking city funds and placing bike racks or that sort of thing on city property or anything like that,” Sage said. However, the updated code may require facilities making major renovations — which do not already include the assigned bike spots — to then provide such spaces in the new construction.

That was, in his opinion, what the comments at the beginning of the 5:30 p.m. meetings have done. “If you’re a working person and you need to come to a council meeting, you need to be here by 5:30 to be on the agenda to speak in the comment section, and it may make it difficult,” Malnar said. Turner, however, disagreed with the change. He felt a meeting-ending comment time was actually not in the interest of about four or five citizens — a significant amount in his eyes — who had reached out to him prior to the August 13 meeting. He noted it would be a long time for citizens to wait and listen to business that does not concern them before having a chance to speak, as well. “To a person, each resident that has spoke(n) about this has said that they don’t want them pushed back later,” Turner said. Aldama added that not every person wanting to make a comment works a typical 9-to-5 schedule on weekdays. Rather, he noted many retired people come to meetings and want to get their business out of the way at an early hour. He also argued that comments from the community at the beginning allow businesspeople and those hoping to make change in the city to fully understand the thoughts of the people they are hoping to represent. “They get to listen to the passion from the community, they get to hear how they truly feel about their city, and I think it’s a really good thing that they have to sit and listen to that,” Aldama said. The resolution, passed on a 5-2 vote, will take effect beginning with the August 27 council meeting. Ultimately, however, if it becomes difficult for people to feel like they are being heard, the council can just as easily move the time back to the beginning of meetings. “If we have problems over it, we can change it again,” Clark said.

Former Cardinals cheerleader champions Peoria BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Centennial High School graduate Chelsey Davis is Peoria’s favorite daughter and the feeling is mutual. The ABC 15 Smart Shopper and morning traffic anchor frequently returns to her hometown to promote events and to tell students the sky’s the limit. “I actually just went back not too long ago because they were recognizing their student council at a banquet,” said Davis, a former Cardinals cheerleader. “I got to speak there and encourage the kids to continue leading and to see how far they’ll go with whatever they want to achieve.” Centennial’s one-time homecoming queen also returned to lead the event’s parade four years after she graduated. “It was perfect because, at the time, I was working at another station in town (Channel 5) and we brought our chopper over,” Davis said. “We were doing a live feed back at our station. All the viewers felt like they were part of this great, cool and fun event.”
Finding her place
Davis is a second-generation Arizonan; the daughter of Ralph Davis, a country radio DJ known as Eddie Haskell. “Growing up, me and my brothers would go in and talk on the mic,” she said. “I think he probably got in trouble for it, but we loved it. We’re a very creative and theatrical family.” Davis was meant to follow her father’s path and be in the public eye. At Oasis Elementary School, Davis led the morning announcements. “Every day I would make the like an SNL skit,” Davis said. “I would do really silly things for people’s birthdays, or if it was the Fourth of July we would dress up. I didn’t really focus on that because I was so involved in extracurricular activities like cheer, track and basketball.” She served as student council president at Oasis and Centennial. Davis’ freshman year, she was faced with death. During a March Madness spirit week her freshman year, she broke her neck in a tumbling session. “It was ‘Pirate Day,’” she said. “I’ll never forget because when I was on the stretcher, freshly out of the ambulance, people thought I was in a car accident. My face wasn’t bruised, though. It was
night, I saw a silhouette of who I believe was Jesus at the end of my bed. Although I initially thought my headline would read, ‘Girl who has the world loses it all,’ I felt as though I was initially faced with a choice. “I was then assured I had a greater purpose to fulfil. After that, it felt like a miracle. The next day, I could start to walk on my own, talk, eat, yawn, laugh. I was able to have my parents take me to the dance concert in a wheelchair when I was released from the hospital.

But on the third ist and made the squad. Davis was the
youngest cheerleader in the NFL that year. “I dove into my rookie season, learning everything from putting on a show to public speaking, how to handle appearances, self-defense, hundreds of routines, practices, mandatory workouts and so much more,” she said. “To represent the organization and don the title of Arizona Cardinals cheerleader, it was required for us to either have a full-time job or be a fulltime student. I describe being an NFL cheerleader as a part-time job, but a full-time commitment. And truly, we were all embracing every single second that went into having the best seats in the house, on the sidelines next to all the action. We practiced outside in the evening hours several times a week, whether it was over 110 or around 50 degrees. I brought the phrase ‘full out or get out’ to the team, and it became our motto. We learned about mental strength as well as physical strength.” Davis cheered from 2009 to 2014 and served as captain for two of those years. She was part of the show team, performing for troops across the nation and overseas. “What I loved most about each experience was we had the opportunity to change and impact people’s lives,” Davis said. “It would dawn on me regularly that I was now wearing the uniform I admired so much when I was younger. It truly was like wearing a superhero cape. When we put it on and brought the poms out, we were something much greater than ourselves. We represented hope. We got to witness and help create memorable moments for children with illnesses who overcame battles and the parents while their child was in surgery. We danced with breast cancer survivors and in honor of those who lost the fight. We were there to help welcome home loved ones and see them reunite after being deployed, and even traveled as far as Japan to put on shows and bring our troops a piece of home. In general, it was always an honor to be part of countless amazing causes.” During her five seasons with the Cardinals, she launched social media pages for the cheerleaders, edited the music they danced to on the field and helped with events like the Big Red Rib and Music Festival. “I cherish every moment and memo-

When you’re constantly surrounded by greatness, you are inspired and empowered to rise and be better than the best.”
Learning to be a journalist
Upon graduation, she entered ASU as an education major, having been inspired by the teachers who educated her. Then halfway through her second semester, it dawned on her that she wanted to follow in her dad’s footsteps. “I reached out to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication and basically said I wanted to transfer,” she said. “I said I know it’s late, but I want to get caught up. I want to graduate on time. I know this is what I was meant
to do. It was a tough transition because we were already mostly done with the first year.” Just to prove a point, she attended Cronkite classes that she wasn’t enrolled in yet. She submitted assign-

We learned every position of production, the writing styles, ethics, the importance of impactful storytelling, and the thrill of a deadline. I helped launch

a sports talk show called ‘Sun Devils Sports Night.’” When she graduated ASU, she worked for CBS. Jason Kadah, a meteorologist, took her under his wing and trained her on the system. “During a practice round of me presenting the traffic report at the green screen, he did everything he could to throw me off,” she recalled. “One example: He would throw stacks of papers in front of the camera, and I would laugh during my hit saying, ‘Well, just like those papers, you’ll be flying down the freeways today!’ I loved every second there, that crew became family, and we are still close today.” Her husband understands her job fully. He’s former TV reporter Brandon Hamilton, who now works in real estate. She called it love at first sight. “He was working at a different station. When I saw him, I thought he was the most handsome man I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Months later, he reached out to me and was congratulating me on the job. He asked if I ever wanted to grab lunch and talk about this crazy business. The rest is history.”

Patients often tell us that numerous attempts to sedate them have failed. Dr. Tobon completely understands this and it is why he developed his own technique that he uses to make you feel comfortable and at ease.

Leibowitz: Fame is a disease in the video age BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
You know what affliction never gets the attention it deserves? Fame. That’s a disease I hope never to catch. Sure, famous people probably don’t wait 45 minutes for a table at Oregano’s. And they get treated as VIPs when they go to a U2 concert or a sporting event. Even so, despite the benefits, being famous looks awful to me. Case in point: This week’s flap over CNN anchor Chris Cuomo flipping out when some jerk with a video camera called him “Fredo,” a reference to the dumb, traitorous Corleone son in “The Godfather.” Lost in the altercation’s storm of f-bombs and testosterone — and Cuomo’s bizarre comparison that calling him Fredo was no different than slurring a black person with the n-word — is what touched off the incident to begin with. A random stranger approached another human being who was out with his
wife and 9-year-old daughter and saw fit to insult him. This is only acceptable, you’ll note, because Cuomo is famous. He appears on a national television network every weeknight, reading the news from a teleprompter, interviewing newsmakers and regularly insulting the president of the United States. Thus, he’s fair game in our culture of 24/7 confrontation. As Cuomo put it on Twitter afterward: “Appreciate all the support but — truth is I should be better than the guys baiting me. This happens all the time these days. Often in front of my family. But there is a lesson: no need to add to the ugliness; I should be better than what I oppose.” Another case in point explaining the downside of fame: At 11:30 p.m. August 10, Chandler police arrested a 60-yearold man for driving under the influence near Pecos Road and Arizona Avenue. The man was observed speeding in a 2009 Chevy Tahoe. He also swerved out of his lane into the bike lane. Fortunate-
Stand up for veterans I am pleased to share that again this year the Maricopa County Justice Courts will participate in Glendale Stand Up. This is an annual event that helps veterans with a variety of issues that include, but are not limited to, legal advice by experts, assistance from the city courts and justice courts, an opportunity to participate in community service, services by the Motor Vehicle Division, job interviews, professional assistance to prepare a resume, educational opportunities offered by Glendale Community College, social services, health care issues, a haircut (not like the ones in boot camp) and even a free lunch. All the services veterans need in one location. The courts will help with fines man-

ly, no one was struck, injured or killed. Such garden variety DUI arrests happen every Saturday night in virtually every city in the Valley. In fact, more than 26,000 Arizona drivers were busted for DUI in 2017. So why did this DUI make the news? Because the driver was a guy named Ron Minegar. Still don’t know who he is? Neither did I. It turns out Minegar is the executive vice president and chief operations officer for the Arizona Cardinals football team. In 2019, such a position makes him famous enough to draw headlines for his inexcusably poor decision to combine Tito’s vodka and driving. I should note that Minegar’s colleague Steve Keim, the team’s general manager, also was arrested for DUI in Chandler last year. And the Cardinals recently have had a series of off-field incidents and arrests, enough for reporters to portray a team in chaos, struggling with a culture of recklessness. Even so, had Minegar been arrested
in isolation, I imagine his mugshot still would have made the news all week, along with bodycam video of his failing field sobriety tests. That’s how fame — even low-level fame — works these days. It has a few benefits for which the famous face an additional level of public scrutiny not applied to the masses. Do I feel sorry for Cuomo and Minegar? No. Both men could have acted differently and avoided the headlines. Cuomo could have been more graceful. Minegar could have used an ounce of common sense and four ounces less vodka. The famous seem to be a source of endless fascination nowadays, approached ad nauseum, reported on endlessly, consumed like so many potato chips. Thoreau once wrote that the “mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” I’ll pass on desperation, but the quiet certainly has its advantages.

READERS’ VIEWPOINTS Stopping those annoying — LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Red flag laws Editor: Dear Sen. Sinema/Gov. Ducey: To preface this, to say the childhood I had was a difficult one would be an understatement. Constant beatings which crossed the threshold of regular spankings were common in my childhood, with my abusive, gun-owning, alcoholic father and his family facilitating many of these beatings. I am writing this letter to you not only as a constituent, but also as a first-generation Filipino-American immigrant and a former victim looking to have a normal life. In the wake of the recent shootings, I cannot stay silent as these red flag laws are reintroduced. I am against these new red flag laws, as those with trauma-related mental illnesses, such as combat veterans who have served our country alongside traumatized individuals such as me, are open to abuses by these laws. These red flag laws could easily twist an innocuous comment posted to social media into a threat and cause an individual’s personal right to self-protection to become forfeit in the eyes of the legal system — or worse. The red flag system currently being proposed relies mainly on hearsay and rumors. This can be easily weaponized by individuals who consider themselves to be “concerned relatives.” Alongside this, the system is already poorly set up and violates the individual’s second, fourth, sixth and 14th amendments by denying an individual not only their firearm rights but their right to a reasonable search and seizure through this system. It also creates an atmosphere where a fair and speedy trial is unable to be found, as the trial is already unbalanced and weighs against the individual whose firearms were taken away. This system lacks oversight and does not properly investigate threats, mak-
ing verification nonexistent. In its current state, this system could easily be used as a state-sponsored harassment campaign, which would allow the state to disarm an individual and in turn leave them open to threats against their life should any arise during these legal proceedings to get their firearms back. According to the FBI, most murders are committed by people the victims know, so giving these very same people the ability to disarm their victims is unwise at best. The same laws being used to push for individuals to be disarmed for being deemed threats can become laws that allow criminals to disarm their targets. In summary, the proposed laws compromise the right of the individual in the name of creating a false sense of security. Given that these laws were being reintroduced on the heels of our recent shootings, it is clear that they are intended for preventing further mass shootings. The caveat to this, however, is that it opens gun owners to state-approved reprisals in the name of public safety. Eli Pagunsan Phoenix
Texting while driving
Editor: Even though I am not old enough to drive yet, I am very supportive of the new law that prohibits texting while driving. The law has been needed for a very long time. One of the reasons I am supportive of it is that 25% of car crashes are caused by texting while driving. A tragic example of this is the death of Officer Townsend in January. I would think people would have sense enough to put away the phone, but now perhaps the law will make people put them away and make our roads safer. Christopher LeMaster Phoenix

and dangerous — robocalls BY REP. DEBBIE LESKO (AZ-08) Guest Columnist
We all get them. Those annoying calls with a recorded message once you pick up. Or a call from a phone number that looks oddly similar to your own telephone number. These are robocalls. Not only are robocalls inconvenient, but they can also be dangerous, with abusive scammers on the other end. These robocalls must stop. That is why in Congress I cosponsored and recently voted for HR 3375, the Stopping Bad Robocalls Act, a bipartisan bill to end these pesky calls. Almost all of us can agree that robocalls are bothersome, annoying and a form of harassment. In 2018, there were an estimated 47.8 billion robocalls placed. With Americans receiving more illegal robocalls than ever before, I feel it is incredibly important to support legislation that will drastically reduce the number of robocalls Americans get every day. The Stopping Bad Robocalls Act will require phone companies to ensure that caller ID information has been authenticated before anyone’s cellphone ever rings, eliminating many of these robocalls without a cost on consumers. I was proud to support this overwhelmingly bipartisan bill before the House of Representatives, which passed by a vote of 429-3 on July 24. Still, it is concerning to hear from many citizens across the United
States, especially folks here in Arizona’s Eighth Congressional District, that they are receiving hundreds, even thousands, of robocalls each and every month. Many criminals use robocalls to target and obtain sensitive information from unsuspecting people in order to defraud them of their savings or even of their identity. This is why I am supporting additional legislation to end the harmful practice of robocalls and protect Americans from scams and abuse. I recently cosponsored HR 2015, the Telephone Robocall Abuse Criminal Enforcement and Deterrence Act (TRACED Act), to further protect Americans from robocalls. This bill allows for stronger penalties like a $10,000 fine for those who intentionally violate telemarketing restrictions and increases the statute of limitations for enforcement actions. By including stronger penalties for those who abuse the “Do Not Call” database, I strongly believe the TRACED Act will help solve this epidemic of robocalls we are currently experiencing. The House has done its part; now it is time for the Senate to pass the Stopping Bad Robocalls Act and get it to the president’s desk for signature so it can become the law of the land. That way, we can put consumers back in charge of their phones, restore confidence back into the system and stop those annoying robocalls.

Chzburgr’s menu comes straight from the heart BY KAYLA RUTLEDGE Glendale Star Staff Writer
Glendale’s newest burger joint, Chzburgr, is serving up classics with recipes that come straight from the heart. From the vibrant orange paint on the walls to the succulent flavors that drip from every bite, happiness is a way of life for each and every person that crosses the threshold of Chzburgr’s paradise. But rainbows don’t emerge without a little rain, and two years ago owner and head chef Kelly Fletcher was faced with a storm he wasn’t sure would ever pass. A tooth infection had been a longtime nuisance in Fletcher’s life, but working as an independent chef left him little means to seek out a dentist. Instead, he grinned and beared the pain as he waited for it to subside on its own. In February of 2017 while sitting on his friend’s couch celebrating the spirit of the Super Bowl with a couple of beers, Fletcher began to feel ill. “I thought it was the beer at first, but I could usually handle my alcohol. It was so weird. I had to leave. I have never felt that kind of horrible before,” Fletcher said. After barely making it to a hospital, the next day he fell into a coma.

Despite competition for sports dollars, the Rattlers endure BY SEBASTIAN EMANUEL Cronkite News
Despite a sports market with little elbow room, limited media coverage and obstacles including a canceled season, the Arizona Rattlers have stiff-armed adversity and remain a player in the Arizona sports scene. Proof? They just completed their 27th season. Among the Valley’s professional teams, that’s longer than Major League Baseball’s Diamondbacks, the NHL’s Coyotes, the WNBA’s Mercury and the USL Championship’s Phoenix Rising. Only the NFL’s Cardinals and the NBA’s Suns have stronger footholds. “You have to find a way and a niche to stay and become relevant, and for us it’s price point,” said former Rattlers team president Chris Presson, who was named president and CEO of the Canadian Football League’s Edmonton Eskimos August 7. “A lot of the people who can’t afford to go to the four major league sports with regularity, they can afford to come to our games every single night.” The team’s longevity suggests a winning formula of affordability, entertainment and success, including six titles and postseason trips in 23 of 27 seasons. This year’s team, which advanced to the United Bowl Championship against the Sioux Falls Storm, averaged 13,684 fans at Talking Stick Resort Arena. The Rattlers recently announced their intention to play Gila River Arena during the 2020 season.

It’s not always a smooth ride. Its residence in the Arena Football League from 1992-2016 was interrupted in 2009 when the AFL canceled the season because of economic woes. Most players hold other jobs because pay is low. Practice facilities in the Indoor Football League look like nothing of those belonging to their NFL counterparts. But for players who hope to get noticed by the NFL — Super Bowl and former Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner played three seasons of indoor football — or aren’t ready to stop competing in the sport they love, the league serves an important purpose.
Fan friendly
Affordability has been a key selling point for the Rattlers. During the 2019 season, single-game tickets were available starting at $10 and season tickets at $80. The average single-game ticket price for NFL teams in 2017, for example, ranged from $107 (Buffalo Bills) to $530 (New England Patriots, according to a study by vividseats.com). The Cardinals’ average was $129. The games are about far more than football, fans say, with fireworks, motorcycles and loud music serving as accompaniments. The game is unique, too, in indoor
football. Fields are 50 yards long, not 100. Eight players are on the field, not 11. And punting? It’s illegal. Butch Neuber was introduced to the Rattlers by a family member nine years ago. He quickly became a fan of the unique style of football. “My son was a fan since 1997 and then he got me involved,” Neuber said. “He’s no longer with us but we stayed on as a Rattler faithful and we travel.” Players say home-field advantage is a real thing, as the organization promotes its games like its promoting a rock concert. Fireworks explode after every touchdown and the music is loud and continuous to encourage fans to support their team. “I know the passion of the fanbase here and I know the passion of the organization,” IFL Commissioner Michael Allshouse said. “They are going to put out a great show and a good, high-quality professional product no matter where the game is played and I would expect nothing else from them.”
Strength in familiarity
The organization’s rich history dates back nearly three decades when Jerry Colangelo was awarded the expansion team on September 11, 1991. The Rattlers’ first coach, former Arizona State and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Danny White, stayed 13 years. Their most recent one, Kevin Guy, just completed his 11th season. He has taken the Rattlers franchise to

New coach looking to forge own legacy at Apollo BY ERIC NEWMAN
Glendale Star Staff Writer
With a 3-7 2018 season now in the rearview, the Apollo Hawks football team seems to have a renewed fervor for the game. Much of the enthusiasm is based on a change of staff, led by the hiring of Aaron Walls as the team’s new head coach. “I don’t really know how to say it. It’s just different around here. It feels great,” senior lineman Raul Landeros said. He was specifically speaking about the energy at practice under Walls, who was promoted to the head role from varsity offensive line coach in January. Those around the Apollo program, Walls chief among them, know the firsttime head coach has major shoes to fill after the departure of Zack Threadgill, who coached over a decade for the Hawks and led the team to several winning seasons and playoff appearances. “I was lucky enough to coach under a hall-of-famer, and he’s a good friend of mine, so there’s a lot he did that I’m going to try and keep, not blow everything up. But, I am definitely going to put my own stamp on the program,” Walls said. His “stamp” started with things far outside the football field, including the new responsibilities of paperwork, scheduling, bus schedules, booster club management and more. He now calls practice the team’s “sanctuary” where they can filter out the outside distrac-

tions for a couple of hours. However, the most important aspect was obtaining full effort from his players every day. “The biggest thing for me was getting kids to buy into the program. It wasn’t an issue before, but it wasn’t at a standard that I was happy with. We needed to get everyone that wanted to be a part of this team involved,” he said. And, the players have seemingly bought in as planned. Senior lineman Jacob Lee remembers many of the lessons Walls taught him and fellow
Coyotes sign Adin Hill to one-year contract BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Arizona Coyotes have signed goaltender Adin Hill to a one-year, two-way contract. As per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed. “We are pleased to get Adin signed,” said John Chayka, general manager. “He’s a big, talented goaltender who has improved each season. We look forward to watching his development this year.” Last season, the 23-year-old Hill played 13 games for the Coyotes, post-
ing a 7-5 record with a .901 save percentage (SV%), a 2.76 goals against average (GAA) and one shutout. Hill also appeared in 36 games with the Tucson Roadrunners (AHL), posting a record of 16-19-2 with a .906 SV% and a 2.61 GAA. In 17 career NHL games, the 6-foot6, 202 pound native of Comox, BC has posted a record of 8-8 with a 2.95 GAA. Hill was drafted by the Coyotes in the third round (76th overall) in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
linemen in past seasons, and described a sit-down the staff had with several senior leaders. He spoke about the importance of leadership off the field, and some of the goals the team has for improving on it. Lee has been impressed both by the coaching talent surrounding the program, but also with the way the new and young players on the Apollo roster have reacted. “With him (Walls), you know that you’re going to get your work in. Everyone has,” Lee said.
“He is a smart man; knows every position on the field. I don’t know how, but he does,” he added, chuckling. The road to a winning season will certainly not be easy, especially in a region with so much talent on the field on a nightly basis. The Hawks’ 10-game schedule includes six contests against 2018 playoff squads, and several more games against teams outside the top-16 that are also looking to be vastly improved. Fueled by players in the trenches — strong and skilled offensive and defensive linemen able to push the ball at the line of scrimmage — Landeros believes the team will use a losing season as motivation to capture more victories in 2019. “Some people definitely think of us as a team that’s going to lose. But, I think we have some more wins in us. It’s going to be a fun season,” he said. Walls wants to win, especially as a reward for the hard work his players have put in all summer. But his goals, for this year and the future of Apollo football, reach far beyond the numbers on the scoreboard. “I live in this community, serve this community, so a big piece for me was making sure these kids here had that support, and they had somebody here that was going to take care of them, making them better people,” Walls said. “If all I’m doing is making them become good football players, I’m not doing my job.”

The D-backs kicked off the program in the spring of 2012 with the $100,000 School Challenge and received an overwhelming response that inspired the team to continue the program annually. With more than 3,800 applications over the past seven seasons, the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation has been
able to help more than 200 schools for a grand total of $950,000 since the program began. The Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation and University of Phoenix provide a combined $100,000 for the program. The grants, which range up to $5,000, have helped schools from across the state with innovative programs to satisfy an array of needs, ranging from an all-inclusive playground to a flight simulation program and a school garden to an electronic response system. The School Challenge is part of the D-backs’ overall charitable efforts. The team and its charitable arm, the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation, have contributed more than $61 million in combined donations since its inception in 1998, including more than $6 million in 2018.

the playoffs all of those seasons, winning three straight Arena Bowls and the team’s first United Bowl in 2017. “Kevin Guy is the face of the team … and as long as he stays here, he will be the face of the team,” Presson said before he left. “He has built himself a good game and a good brand and people associate that with the Rattlers as well, who also have a good name and a good brand. He’s our focal point and we try not to focus on players and we try to focus on him.” In the sports world, when success comes, so, typically, do fans. In the team’s inaugural home game at America West Arena (now Talking Stick Resort Arena), the arena sold out with 15,505 fans. Many were hooked. The Rattlers have continued to stay relevant in a sports town that has representatives from all four major professional leagues and many other highly populated sporting events, like the NFL’s Super Bowl, the NCAA’s Final Four and the PGA’s Waste Management Phoenix Open golf tournament. More than 14,000 attended the United Bowl Championship at Gila River Arena. Typically, the title game would be played at the team’s home field, but scheduling issues with Talking Stick Resort Arena for the conference championship and title game forced the move. The Native American Basketball Invitational and the Nazarene Youth Conference were taking place during those times. “Unfortunately, after being in our building for 27 years, the Rattlers do not get first priority for playoff dates,” Guy reportedly said. “My understanding is that other events took precedence.” He added that the organization embraced the opportunity to play at Gila River Arena, home of the Arizona Coyotes, and that the opportunity “will give us the ability to expand our fan base and potential sponsorships. The Rattlers will play anyone, anywhere, anytime, and the Rattlers faithful will follow.”
Adapting to change
The team will play there in the 2020 season with an option for 2021 as Talking Stick Resort Arena undergoes renovations. “It’s farther for me. I live in the far East Valley, but the accommodations

that are here far exceed Talking Stick,” Neuber said. The Rattlers have adjusted well to change before. When they moved in 2017 to the Indoor Football League, which has 10 teams but could expand, they continued to win. They have won a minimum of 11 games each season since. “There’s interest, No. 1,” Presson said about the organization’s success. “We have been in business 27 years, No. 2, and we understand price point, No. 3.” While the Rattlers were in the Arena Football League, they had an average attendance of 12,263 fans, reports arenafan.com, and regularly led the league. Their attendance numbers continue to be strong. “When we were bringing the Rattlers in three years ago, we thought we knew how great the organization was from top to bottom,” Allshouse said. “They have exceeded our expectations ever since being in. There’s a reason they have been named our franchise of the year three straight years and they have received the best fanbase award for three straight years.” Quickly leaving their bite on the league, the Rattlers won the United Bowl in 2017 for their first world title outside of the Arena Football League. Allshouse credited the front office, saying, “They just are a real treat to have and there’s no question that the Snake Pit (fan base) provides a pretty good home-field advantage for them.” After the team’s Intense Conference Championship win over the Nebraska Danger, Guy cited the crowd’s presence as a big reason the Rattlers came away with the victory. “Great support here on the west side, great crowd, a lot of energy in the building tonight, the sound system is awesome here,” Guy said. “Can’t say enough about it.” As players come and go for the Rattlers, one who enjoys the spotlight is 2018 IFL MVP quarterback Drew Powell. He joined the Rattlers this season and helped lead the team to the playoffs with an unbeaten record. “This is where I feel the most comfortable, when there are 20,000 people in the stands,” Powell said. “I feel at home. “That’s just where I’m supposed to be.”

Glendale Prep celebrates renovated football field BY ERIC NEWMAN
Glendale Star Staff Writer
The community surrounding Glendale Prep Academy spent their Saturday evening on August 17, at exactly 8:17 p.m., celebrating the renovation and expansion of the school’s football field. Now regulation size for 11-man, AIA 2A football, the school will be able to host home games for the first time since moving up from eight-man games in the 2016 season. The renovated facility is a point of pride, especially for the football team, which held a scrimmage the night before on its new home grass. “They’re really excited. It’s a huge ordeal for us right now, in drumming up support from parents, family, the school and everything,” coach Robert Addicott said. Athletic director Jerome Garrison led the three fall sports teams — football, cross country and girls’ volleyball — in a series of speeches from coaches about their upcoming seasons, and even a dance-off between different sports in front of fans.
from the rest of the school,” Garrison said. While the new, (Glendale Star photo full-size field will be by Eric Newman) used for more than just football, Addicott’s squad will be the one to use it first for regular season home games. It is also a major leg up on competition, as the Griffins can run their full slate of plays in preparation for games, without having to make concessions in a smaller space. “You can actually run your plays like you’re going to run them in a game, instead of having to condense it or only do half of the field. It’s more of a game feel,” Addicott said. It also, more than anything, is a point of pride for the Griffins, their own home to protect.
Football coach Robert Addicott addresses fans at a celebration of Glendale Prep’s new football field.
He encouraged those associated with the school to attend as many events as possible, hoping the field provides another incentive to show up to games. “This is to build spirit. In athletics, you cannot have a good team unless you have that, unless you’re supporting each other and have that support
In the past, the Griffins would have to rent out a field from a nearby school or facility to play games, which were technically home but did not feel that way. This season, there will even be several contests that are slated as “road games” on paper, but will be held at the Griffins’ field because the other team does not have its own field. “It helps with the atmosphere, because it’s having our own identity. And you can’t really do that as much if you’re going somewhere else for what is supposed to be your home games,” Addicott said. When the lights shone for the first time at the Griffins’ field, Garrison showed genuine excitement for the future of Glendale Prep’s athletic programs. He hopes the renovations, both to the field and fan interest, will bode well for the Griffins for years to come. “We have an opportunity to make this Pinnacle Peak corner ours, to lay our mark right here, so every opponent that comes here knows what we’re about and knows they’re going to have to bring their ‘A’ game every time,” he said.

Four ways to help seniors maintain independent lives BY K.C. KANAAN Guest Columnist
I witnessed firsthand how painful it was when my parents lost their ability to drive and, with it, their independence. My siblings and I became their lifeline to the world. My parents relied on us for driving and escorting them everywhere — doctor’s appointments, grocery shopping, errands and social events. With small children of our own, it became increasingly difficult to be available to both my children’s and parents’ needs. As we sought a solution, I discovered the lack of reliable transportation, assistance and companionship was far from anomalous to my family. In fact, transportation is the second-largest
challenge for seniors and their families after health care. For these reasons, I helped found a company that offers door-throughdoor service where the Driver Companions not only drive, but also provide assistance and companionship at all points along the journey, from pushing a grocery cart to running errands, escorting clients to and from medical appointments and more. Through this experience, I’ve discovered there are several critical ways to ensure seniors can maintain independent and healthy lives: Schedule and keep preventative health appointments — According to
a 2011 study done by AARP, seniors who don’t drive make 15% fewer trips to the doctor. Regular check-ups and preventative screenings are important to ensuring seniors stay healthy. Help seniors stay social — When a senior loses the ability to drive, reduced transportation options can lead to isolation, depression, poor health and poor quality of life. Make sure the seniors in your life are able to maintain a consistent social calendar, whether it be attending religious services, lunch outings with friends, or visiting family. Remove potential hazards — Seniors are more at risk for accidents such as
falling or tripping that can result in more serious injuries. Identify and remove potential hazards that could potentially cause any of these accidents, such as adding ramps to curbed areas around the home or adding handrails to bathrooms. Identify senior-friendly transportation options — If a senior is unable to drive, identify what services or public transportation options are the best fit. No matter a person’s age, most people simply want the ability to enjoy an independent life. For seniors, they may require a bit more attention and assistance to achieve this goal.
K.C. Kanaan is the founder and CEO of Envoy America, a comprehensive program that offers transportation plus assistance and companionship for seniors. Envoy America helps seniors and the infirm stay independent, healthy and socially active — all without getting behind the wheel of a car. For more information, visit envoyamerica.com.
2019 Subaru Forester
BY C.A. HAIRE
Glendale Star Columnist
Those shopping for a vehicle that is inexpensive to purchase, economical to own, reliable and well-constructed should pay a visit to the Subaru dealer. This Forester is their popular model, with a starting price of $24,295. Under the hood is a 2.5-liter boxer engine rated at 182 horsepower and hooked to a CVT transmission, and all-wheel drive system for excellent traction. Fuel economy is claimed to be 26/33 mpg. We clocked 400 miles to get the real world numbers. The cabin is nothing fancy, but materials are very sturdy and workmanship is what we expect of a vehicle assembled in Japan. Many other Subaru models are made in the United States. The rear cargo area can hold 33 cubic feet of gear, or 71 if the second row seats are folded. A spare tire is located under the floor. The air conditioning controls are

very simple to operate — just three knobs and a few buttons. Unfortunately, turning the blower at maximum speed on a hot summer day is very noisy, as it sounds like back end of jet engine thrust. This takes some

getting used to. Also, the steering wheel blocks air flow from the two left vents, which is an odd arrangement. But the air flow is cold enough, so these are not serious complaints. With about 8 inches of ground
clearance, and four-wheel traction, the Forster can be taken off-road. The computer-controlled drive system has settings for snow, dirt and mud. On the street, the fuel economy was not impressive at 18 mpg while driving in heavy city traffic. On the other hand, some freeway trips did show 30 mpg at 75 mph cruising, with 24 mpg overall for our test. This is close enough to the claimed 26 overall. While the starting price of about $24K is reasonable, watch out for that option list. Our Forester was loaded up with extras, and passed the $34K mark.

Once upon a time there was twice upon a time Have you ever been in a situation where you wished you could take back what you said to another person or about another person? Something provoked you or set you off and what was on the inside of you came right of out your mouth. You zinged them, attacking them verbally. You went to the dark side, when they didn’t do all that much to provoke you. Many times, we humans attack others, even when something happens that is not their fault. They were the recipient of our frustrations and anger that had built up inside us for years. They just happened to be there when our internal temperature reached a boiling point. Then there is a breach in the wall between them and us. Anger or frustration not transformed is transferred. Let me clarify where I am going with

a real-life example. The perpetrator is this case was none other than me, myself and I. Yes, you probably thought I was perfect, writing all these articles for years. Hang on. Here we go, into the darkness. Two weeks ago, I returned from three weeks of speaking in South Africa. I was home for two days. Then Becky and I flew to Colorado Springs to speak at the World Prayer Center and to visit friends. After a smooth check-in at the airline counter on our return home trip,

we proceeded to the security line. Going through security can be a frustrating process. The lines are long. People going through them have no idea what to do. The agents are overworked and tired of dealing with the sheer volume of people. And the stress of getting to their flight in time heightens the anxiety of most everyone. By the time you get through the process, you are like a kettle on the boil. But you don’t want to vent your frustration because they might think you’re a terrorist. It’s their job. Becky and I have a Global Entry pass, so we checked into the TSA’s pre-approved line. It’s a much quicker line. You put your hand-carry on the belt, they check it out and you’re on your way. But not on this occasion. Understand I had just been through heaps of security checks in South Africa and now in America. My patience with the security process was registering empty. Then it happened. The frequent flyer’s worst nightmare. The security agent, inspecting my carry-on bag by X-ray, saw something in my bag she wanted investigated. Finally, another TSA agent came to get my bag, unzipped it and proceeded to go through the bag slow, slowly and slower than slowly. Inside me, the mercury was rising. Jupiter was ascending. I was fuming at the agent who was going through my carry-on. I stood back, fearing I might say or do something stupid. He saw my Bible inside my carry-on. He flipped through it. He looked at me and very nicely said, “This is quite a Bible. You have really used it. How long have you had it?” Have you ever spoken harshly and then wished you had never said it? Well, I did then. When the words came out of my mouth, it was like I was running in slow motion, trying to catch the words as they proceeded into the air to his and many other ears. I spoke forcefully and loudly, “Don’t talk to
me. Just check the bag and let me get out of here.” What was on the inside went outside. He looked at me, smiled and zipped up the bag. I grabbed it without looking at him and off I went, thoroughly disgusted with myself more than him. There he was, doing his job, being nice by starting a conversation about the very same Bible I had just used in South Africa and Colorado, ministering to thousands. He complimented me and I dissed him. How disappointing. My wife responded like Barney Fife in that old Andy Griffith show: “Citizen’s arrest! Citizen’s arrest!” I got the silent treatment from her, which is worse than any TSA agent or line. In one moment of a “flesh flash,” I had undermined the very person I am. But wait, there’s more. Though I had created a breach in the wall with the agent, I could now attempt to repair the breach in the wall. With God, the breach is not so much the issue as being the repairer of the breach, especially when you caused the breach. Isaiah 58:12 says, “…and you shall be called, the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths in which to dwell.” What did I do to repair the breach? I walked back to the agent, looked him in the face and asked his forgiveness. No excuses. No justifications. “I’m so sorry. You were just doing your job. This is my issue. Please forgive me.” He looked at me, a bit surprised, and smiled. “That’s alright. I understand. Have a good day.” If the TSA agent is out there somewhere reading this article, thank you. Your response to my response repaired me more than you will ever know. It’s not the “once upon a time” that gets us. It’s what we do afterward with the breach. “Once upon a time” created the breach. “Twice upon a time” repaired the breach. The time is always right to do what’s right. Repairing the breach happens “twice upon a time.” Thank God for right paths.

Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC): The advertising requirements of the statute does not prevent anyone from placing an ad in the yellow pages, on business cards, or on flyers. What it does require under A.R.S. §32-1121A14(c) www.azleg.gov/ars/ 32/01165.htm is that the advertising party, if not properly licensed as a contractor, disclose that fact on any form of advertising to the public by including the words "not a licensed contractor" in the advertisement. Again, this requirement is intended to make sure that the consumer is made aware of the unlicensed status of the individual or company. Contractors who advertise and do not disclose their unlicensed status are not eligible for the handyman's exception.
