Council members hold off on cemetery sale decision BY ANDREA ESTRADA Glendale Star Staff Writer
At an August 27 workshop, the Glendale City Council discussed residents’ outstanding concerns regarding the proposed sale of the Glendale Memorial Park Cemetery. But while council members were scheduled to vote on the controversial issue at a regular meeting following the discussion, they ultimately decided to hold off on making a decision. Assistant City Manager Chris Anaradian shared a series of questions he said were raised since the council last discussed the sale during an August 13 workshop. “One of the first questions that came up when we talked about the operation of the facility going forward and our willing-
ness to have equipment involved with that transaction was: What exact equipment is out there?” Anaradian said. The equipment — which consists of a John Deere Backhoe, John Deere 777 Riding Mower, John Deere Gator Utility, Case 570MXT Tractor and two Exmark Lazer Z Mowers — is not new and has experienced depreciation, Anaradian added. The cemetery’s perpetual care fund, used exclusively for the perpetual care of the historic property, was also a topic of discussion at the meeting. In response to a question about the city’s ability to dissolve the fund, Assistant City Manager Vicki Rios told council members, “The city can dissolve the perpetual care fund. It was created by an ordinance and it

can be dissolved similarly.” Vice Mayor Joyce Clark voiced a concern when a related question was posed: What happens if the buyer is unable to manage the cemetery in outyear? “It is this council’s unequivocal, public commitment to retain the Glendale Memorial Park Cemetery as a cemetery perpetually. Here’s the problem: Future councils may not be bound by that intent,” Clark said. “I think it is very, very important … we put some kind of minimal language in there, into the sales agreement, that states that it is incumbent upon us to keep this as a cemetery,” she added. Because the proposed transaction involves real property, the land will be derSEE CEMETERY PAGE 3

With assistance from the public, Glendale police recently arrested a man suspected of assaulting 27-year-old U.S. Army veteran Adam McClure. Ricky Loqui, 32, was arrested on August 29 and charged with one count of aggravated assault and one count of disorderly conduct, police said. Lisa McClure, the victim’s mother, described him at an August 28 recent press conference as “fun-loving” and “a great kid.” Adam had recently returned home from military service in Afghanistan, his second service tour out of the United States. But at around 2:30 a.m. on August 17, Glendale police reported to calls of a fight at a DenSEE ASSAULT PAGE 2

ny’s at 99th Avenue and Camelback Road. There they found McClure unconscious in the parking lot. Having sustained a brain bleed and fractured nose, according to Lisa, Adam was then transported to a local hospital. “As parents, we were always concerned for Adam’s safety during his two tours in Afghanistan, but it’s inconceivable for us to imagine that he would be a victim of such a heinous, unprovoked crime here at home,” she said. According to his mother, Adam enlisted in the U.S. Army after graduating high school in 2010. He then joined the Army National Guard as an infantryman and deployed to Afghanistan for a second tour last year. After this mission, he joined Operation Guardian Support to assist Border Patrol. He was in the midst of a Border Patrol application process when he was hospitalized. Police said the night of the incident Adam had been out drinking with friends, when he had a confrontation with an unknown Hispanic man. A verbal confrontation led to physicality, as police spokeswoman Tiffany Ngulala said at the August 28 press conference that Loqui threw a punch indoors, before both parties left the establishment. After McClure and his friends left, the suspect and a group of others followed him to the parking lot, where the conflict continued, according to Ngulala. The women with Adam managed to remove the suspect, but not before the victim sustained his life-threatening

injuries. “The suspect took another swing at Adam, where he was knocked unconscious. The suspect then got on top of him and attempted to continue assaulting him. He had to be pulled off of him,” Ngulala said. With the help of several witnesses, police were able to identify the suspect as Loqui. Lisa said at the press conference that Adam hardly remembers what happened that early morning, so she and other family members are feeding him a little more information each day. “This will be a long journey for Adam as well as his family,” she said.

Humana, local American Legion post commemorating Vietnam veterans BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Humana, a leading health and well-being company, will host a Vietnam War commemoration veterans pinning ceremony in partnership with the American Legion Earl E. Mitchell Post No. 29 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, October 1. The pinning portion of the event will take place at 11:15 a.m., and will be held at the post’s Bingo Hall, 6821 N. 58th Avenue, Glendale. Veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces between November 1, 1955, and May 15, 1975, regardless of location, are eligible to participate in the ceremony, as are the surviving spouses of these veterans. Humana is a commemorative partner for the Vietnam War Commemoration, a federal program established by the president and Congress to remember the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War. According to the Department of Veterans Affairs, 9 million Americans served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam War; approximately CEMETERY FROM PAGE 1
estricted so it will always be used as a cemetery, said Michael Bailey, city attorney. Anaradian, who said some believe the sales price is inadequate, said the city looked for the best offer in the marketplace. “We hired a professional broker that specializes in these types of properties. They marketed the cemetery to a very small universe of cemetery operators,” Anaradian explained. “We tested the marketplace, and we got what the market was willing to bring in response.” But council members, who were scheduled to determine the sale of the land at their regular meeting on August 27, have yet to vote. “The purchaser has actually requested the continuance of that item so that we can work out all the details on the purchase and sale agreement and that there will be sufficient time for that to be reviewed,” Bailey said. Barrel Councilman Bart Turner added, “We’re not going to be voting on this tonight. There’s still more time for consideration and to iron more details and help establish a higher confidence level on whatever decision we’re going to make on that.”
7 million are living today. To reach these large numbers, the program has enlisted the assistance of many thousands of commemorative partner organizations at the local, state and national levels to conduct pinning events and activities that recognize Vietnam veterans and their families in their local communities. For more information, visit vietnamwar50th.com.
Local Vietnam veterans and surviving spouses interested in participating are asked to RSVP to ensure enough pins are available. To RSVP, or for more information, call Humana at 602-760-1856 (TTY: 711) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Several area veterans organizations will have representatives on site for a free veterans health and service fair following the pinning ceremony.

Glendale businessman challenging McSally in Senate bid BY WISSAM MELHEM Cronkite News
Arizona’s Senate race, already expected to be one of the toughest in the nation, got tougher late last month when a Glendale businessman announced a Republican primary challenge to incumbent Sen. Martha McSally. Longtime GOP donor and Trump supporter Daniel McCarthy said August 28 that he will run against McSally, a firstterm senator appointed to fill the seat left vacant by the death last year of Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain. McCarthy, founder of a Phoenix-based cosmetic company and CEO of a real estate brokerage, said he has the means to fund his own campaign. He told the Associated Press that he believes he is the best candidate to beat Mark Kelly, the likely Democratic nominee. The announcement comes days after a poll by OH Predictive Insights showed Kelly with a slight lead over McSally with more than a year left to the election. McCarthy could not be reached for comment. But in a statement on his Facebook page, he said he has “a responsibility and an obligation to stand up for our
families when we have a federal government that is out of control.” In remarks after a GOP event August 28 in Scottsdale, McSally downplayed the possibility of an intraparty fight, saying she was focused on her work in the Senate. “I’m endorsed by President Trump; we are unified as a Republican Party,” she said. “We are working together and we’re going to make sure that we hold this seat up and down the ticket for Republicans, for our future, and that’s our focus.” Analysts said that while McCarthy’s challenge is not good news for McSally, they noted that she survived a bitter primary in 2018. But that primary left her weakened for the general election, and a strong challenge from McCarthy could cause deja vu for McSally’s camp in 2020. “If he does become a critical contender, that means that McSally will again have to deal with a primary, when the Democratic opponent is already on to the general, because it does look at this point that Mark Kelly will not have a competitive primary,” said Leah Askarinam, a reporter and analyst with Inside Elections. That’s what happened last year when
McSally faced former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former state Sen. Kelli Ward — now chairman of the Arizona Republican Party — in a competitive three-way primary. Democrat Kyrsten Sinema faced a first-time candidate in her primary and was able to devote most of her energy to the general election, where she beat McSally by 2.35 percentage points. “Kyrsten Sinema was able to focus on a general campaign message during that time without having to be attacked,” Askarinam said. After being named to McCain’s seat, McSally has to run for re-election, and both parties have focused on the race. Inside Elections has rated the Arizona race a toss-up. McSally, a former Air Force combat pilot, and Kelly, a former astronaut, had raised a total of $13.9 million as of June, according to the most recent reports with the Federal Election Commission. Kelly does not currently face a significant challenger. Republican political consultant Jason Rose said he believes that even if Republicans were dissatisfied with McSally,
they would still rally behind her because of what’s at stake for the party in Arizona in 2020. “All but the most extreme elements of the Republican Party know what’s at stake with a very capable and very significant candidate staring at the Republican nominee on the Democratic side,” Rose said. He said McSally is currently the favorite to win on the Republican side. “This seems to be a vanity project,” he said of McCarthy’s bid. “I can already predict that he will be introduced for the rest of his life as former U.S Senate candidate.” Bill Scheel, founding partner of Phoenix-based political consultant firm Javelina, said it remains to be seen if McCarthy can drum up a serious campaign that can compete with the already established McSally. “Can he pull away some of the tea party folks who did support Kelli Ward and Joe Arpaio two years ago? That’s the test,” Scheel said. “The other question is, will figures like (Arizona Republican) Rep. Paul Gosar endorse someone like McCarthy?”

Members of the Glendale City Council discussed potential changes to the fiscal year 2020 downtown special events season during a workshop preceding the August 27 regular meeting. Beginning with the 26th annual Glendale Glitters Spectacular Weekend on November 29, a series of annual special events will take place in Glendale, through which officials hope to bring tourism and business to the downtown area. A group of merchants and persons interested in the happenings of downtown Glendale, called the Downtown Strategic Leadership Group (DSLG), recommended the series of changes to the proposed budget of special events. They feel the changes would benefit the city and its businesses. “From the very beginning, back when I arrived back in February of 2016, we’ve been engaged with the council regarding how to really improve our historic downtown Glendale,” City Manager Kevin Phelps said, later adding, “We’re not achieving the level of success we’d all like to see.” The events budget, approved by council in June, allocates money for the Glendale Glitters Spectacular Weekend, the Glendale Glitter & Glow, Glendale Chocolate Affaire and a December weekend celebration, totaling $412,720. The DSLG proposed removing the December weekend and Chocolate Affaire events from the budget — a total of $186,015 — instead using those funds to add decoration money to Glendale Glitter & Glow, enhance some existing events and add downtown music events from Thursday to Sunday nights in April. The DSLG maintains that the closing-off of downtown is often detrimental to the businesses, as it halts car traffic and accessibility as well as the ease of regular consumers to walk into stores.

“After all the holiday shopping is done (and) spring training is gone, we want to demonstrate over these four (April) weekends — Thursday through Sunday — that music really brings people together,” said Heidi Barriga, special events administrator. Some council members agreed that something needs to change for the better in downtown. However, many, in particular Councilman Jamie Aldama and Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff, were opposed to eliminating the Chocolate Affaire in February. “It seemed to me that the Chocolate Affaire was a successful, family-oriented kind of event that gave us good publicity and a positive impression statewide, so I’m not sure I’m ready to cancel it,” Tolmachoff said. Aldama added, “It’s absurd to suggest that we do that; however, what we can do is recreate it.” The recreation, or renovation, is exactly what the DSLG and Phelps envision for the Chocolate Affaire. Phelps said he has been in communication with Cerrato Candy Company, one of the state’s famous candy companies and the presenter of the festival. Rather than a two-day event in its traditional format, he suggested that the company could possibly agree to a series of smaller events throughout the year in the area’s Civic Center. “We’d be doing 12 to 16 days for the same amount of money,” he added. While the DSLG only recommended action to the council — the Glendale City Council does not vote during workshops, and the discussion didn’t continue in the subsequent regular meeting — there will likely be more discussion about the use of city funds for special events. Still, it appeared at the workshop that the wheels were put in motion to affect downtown in what some officials believe could be a positive way. Vice Mayor Joyce Clark said it is promising that a group such as the DSLG exists, and that citizens are stepping up to try to make renovations for a downtown they agree needs them. “Change is difficult; accepting something new is difficult for those who are used to doing the same thing over and over again,” Clark said, adding, “You are the catalyst for change in downtown.”

Glendale studying key ACU ranked atop airport opportunities Arizona colleges BY ERIC NEWMAN
College Consensus, an all-encompassing university and college ranking company, named Arizona Christian University as the No. 1 college in Arizona for the second consecutive year. ACU, followed by The University of Arizona, ASU-Tempe and Prescott College in the top four, was recognized based on data from Forbes and U.S. News & World Report along with public sources including student reviews of their college experience and education. Along with the No. 1 ranking in Arizona, ACU was ranked No. 10 in the Best Regional Colleges in the West and No. 14 in the Best Online Christian Colleges and Universities rankings by College Consensus. “There have been a number of organizations that have rated our university highly over the last four or five years, which is really new for us in our 60year history. We’re really grateful,” said Len Munsil, the university’s president. While the school’s rankings have increased under Munsil since he began his service as president in 2010, so have enrollment numbers. ACU announced in late August that the student body had grown to more than 750 students, a 20% increase since last academic year and the fifth straight year of record enrollment. Munsil credits rankings and a growing reputation among students as some of the reasons for the boom. “What I’ve learned about academia is that it takes time to build recognition. It’s a slow process, but we have fairly quickly started to establish ACU as an elite small college and university experience,” Munsil said. The main factor for the increase
in school pride and numbers, he believes, is the school’s new campus in Glendale. Since the school swapped land with the Thunderbird School of Management from its former Phoenix home before this academic year, there is even more to like for prospective students. Munsil said returning staff and students used to the old campus “need to pinch themselves.” “We’re getting a lot of alumni coming back with jaws dropped wide open. Going from a 20-acre campus with, really, three main buildings to a 68-acre campus with dozens of buildings and incredible student areas that we didn’t have before, it continues to amaze me,” Munsil said. Additional construction and renovation on campus is ongoing. Better athletic facilities, music rooms and science labs are among the planned additions for the school, as the previous owners did not need them for a graduate business school. All of the additions should only increase enrollment further. In the old campus, Munsil said enrollment numbers were at about the maximum the school could hold. The Thunderbird School of Management regularly held about 2,000 students, so there is no reason to believe ACU enrollment will not creep toward that total in the future. For now, though, those at ACU are still marveling at how much their school has grown, both physically and reputation-wise, before even thinking too far about adding more students in years to come. “We’re not in a hurry to get there, because we don’t want to lose the closeknit community feeling we’ve created, the culture here. But, what we’re seeing is really exciting,” Munsil said.
space, retail, hospitality, residential space, aviation and aerospace developments. Ebersole added that when deciding on the appropriate construction, the city will be “keeping in mind the limitations set by FAA regulations, anticipated public infrastructure and proximity to existing market offerings.” With a month of research still ahead of the city, it is unknown what new de-
velopments may be introduced to the area. And while there is still some uncertainty, Ebersole said it is still a thrilling time for the airport and the city as a whole. “A mile of roadway will only take you one mile, but a mile of runway can take you anywhere in the world. This is an exciting time, I think, for everyone,” Ebersole said.

Big ideas are taking flight in Glendale as the city continues its work to make the airport’s surrounding area a hotspot for new developments. About 75 acres of undeveloped land lay on the eastern side of the Glendale Municipal Airport. For the last three months, the city has been conducting a market study on the property to determine the best use of the land and how to market it to potential developers. The study is anticipated to conclude by the end of September. The study comes after a discussion among city officials about hiring a real-estate broker to spread the word of the land to developers last year. “It’s very exciting for the airport because we have a lot of growth happening in that part of Glendale, and to develop the east side of this airport that’s been there for 30 years is very exciting,” said Trevor Ebersole, Glendale’s transportation director. “We have a tremendous opportunity here to let that area flourish.” Built in 1986, the airport has served as one of numerous reliever airports in the Valley. Since its development, large entertainment and sports stadiums nearby put a spotlight on the airport as a hub of transportation and activity. The airport’s location, near the Westgate Entertainment District, Camelback Ranch and the Arizona Cardinals’ University of Phoenix Stadium, signi-
fied a prosperous future for the runway, one in which city officials imagined it being used frequently by private and corporate jets and smaller commuter aircraft. However, due to the economic crash of 2008 and a lawsuit between the John F. Long Properties and the city, operations declined to about half of what the city projected. John F. Long Properties donated some land for a second runway, but when the plans were tossed out the case was taken to court. With time, the business and the city were back on good terms, the economy recovered, more people began utilizing private flights and the airport slowly bounced back. The small airport now sees roughly 100,000 takeoffs and landings per year. With business booming, expectations to keep it that way from the city are sky-high. “As far as the Glendale Airport out here, we are probably one of the bestkept secrets in the Valley,” Mayor Jerry Weiers said during aviation week in August. But the city hopes to share the secret with the rest of the world. The market study will play a key role in determining what sort of developments will keep people flying into the area and inject new money into the local economy. At this point in time, Ebersole said, the city is open to varying constructions including commercial office

Missing man whose credit cards were used in Glendale found dead BY CONNOR DZIAWURA
Glendale Star Managing Editor
A New Mexico man who went missing while headed to Peoria for a job in early July was recently found dead, according to authorities. And the men who used his credit cards at several Valley stores including a Home Depot in Glendale have been identified, but eliminated as suspects. Now, two other suspects are being considered. Coconino and Navajo county detectives located the body of Craig Cavanaugh, 44, in a wooded area just off Highway 260 outside Heber on August 5, according to the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office. His body wasn’t identified until fingerprints could be completed more than three weeks later. “It is with extreme sadness and heartbreak that we announce to you that Craig Cavanaugh was found deceased,” his family wrote in a statement posted to Help Find Craig Cavanaugh, a Facebook page set up in the wake of his disappearance. “He was a beloved father of two daughters, Micaylah and Gracie, a loving son, devoted fiancé, nephew, cousin and friend. Since he went missing on July 4th, we prayed everyday for a different ending and we are completely devastated to learn this news.” Cavanaugh was last seen in Farmington on July 4, according to CCSO. He was headed to Peoria for a job but never arrived. He was reported missing the following day.

The Facebook page dedicated to his search reported that his iPhone’s last known location had been traced to the Mazatzal Hotel and Casino parking lot in Payson at 1:39 p.m. July 4. “After this, all communication ended, which is extremely out of the ordinary for him,” a moderator posted July 9. “He was supposed to be home Thursday night/early Friday morning to leave for a Fourth of July vacation

for the weekend.” Farmington, New Mexico, police said a witness reported seeing Cavanaugh in Payson, but no evidence backed up the claim. Following Cavanaugh’s Fourth of July disappearance, three men used his credit cards to purchase numerous items at several Valley stores between July 5 and July 7, according to CCSO. Previous reports stated it was two men. Farmington police spokeswoman Georgette Allen previously told Peoria Times the cards were used at a Home Depot and a Dillard’s in Glendale. The men also attempted to use them at a Maverik in Payson and a QuikTrip in Peoria, she added. The men were eventually identified, but they were eliminated as suspects, according to CCSO. Their identities have not been revealed publicly. On July 12 authorities in New Mexico located the 2012 Toyota Tacoma Cavanaugh had been driving. According to CCSO, Farmington detectives later received a “vague” tip that Cavanaugh might be in the Woods Canyon Lake area outside Forest Lakes. Detectives notified CCSO, whose deputies — alongside a searchand-rescue unit — combed the area. Cavanaugh was not found. CCSO detectives ultimately joined Farmington’s investigation with the support of several Phoenix-area law enforcement agencies and the Gila County Sheriff’s Office. After the three men who used Cavanaugh’s cards were identified and
eliminated as suspects, detectives then identified two suspects who they believed to be with Cavanaugh in Payson the day of his disappearance. CCSO detectives found and interviewed one suspect, who provided information that ultimately helped them find Cavanaugh’s body outside Heber. Farmington detectives have turned the case over to the Coconino and Navajo county sheriff’s offices, both of which assisted in the search. On Facebook his family wrote, “Our family has been thankful for your outpouring of support, love and prayers from all over, and now humbly asks for help with Craig’s existing and continuing expenses … We want to thank every person that has followed this case, prayed with and for us, helped search or simply just reached out to send their thoughts. We know you share in our sadness of this news. Your loyal support and kind words have helped us through this.” For more information on the case or to provide tips, contact the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office at 928-7744523. A GoFundMe has been set up to assist with various expenses at https:// bit.ly/2ZrGdRQ. “Craig was truly one of the most generous people to walk this earth,” the GoFundMe campaign’s organizer wrote. “His smile and laugh were contagious and he loved life and those he shared it with. To those who knew him, his big heart and jokes will be missed dearly everyday.”

Liebo: Arpaio bid underscores need for age limits BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ
compete in Ironman. If I’m trapped in a burning high rise in some awful redo of “Towering Inferno,” please send Crossfit-trained 20- or 30-somethings to the rescue, not anyone inspired to become a first responder by watching “Emergency!” with Randolph Mantooth back in 1972. Which brings me to Joe Arpaio, 87, again running for Maricopa County sheriff. Critics may say Arpaio’s age is the least disqualifying thing about the man once described as “America’s Toughest Sheriff,” but I beg to differ. Time having passed Arpaio by represents one of the most pathetic things about his run, which he announced late last month. In an interview with another publication, candidate Arpaio talked
Glendale Star Columnist
The Rolling Stones played Glendale last week, and though a friend offered me a ticket, I passed. Don’t get me wrong: The Stones are terrific and by all accounts put on a helluva show. However, septuagenarian rockers aren’t my thing. The thought of 76-year-old Mick Jagger preening about while bemoaning his inability to “get no girl reaction?” The jokes write themselves. In sum, certain professions come with an expiration date after which we ought to gracefully stepping aside in favor of new blood. Rock stars, porn stars, Starbucks baristas — these jobs favor the young. The same goes for prizefighting and fighting fires. I don’t care if you
up his plan to “hit the bars” and “the streets” to get votes from “the Hispanics” and “the blacks.” Maybe because I’ve known Arpaio for 25 years and have long found him to be a fascinating stew of ego, braggadocio, ignorance and cunning, I read such remarks less as malevolent racism and more as political incorrectness begat by age. Arpaio simply no longer understands the rules of public discourse in the same way many folks approaching 90 years old can’t operate an iPhone or a smart thermostat. I get that Arpaio’s past has branded him evil in a wide swath of Maricopa County. I don’t mean to apologize for his conduct — much of it was reprehensible — but I continue to see him as less Klan, more clown. I haven’t caught a rerun of “Bozo the Clown” lately, but that old kiddie show surely hasn’t aged well. Neither do politicians. Perhaps you haven’t watched the Democratic presidential debates over the past few months, but I’ve paid some attention. Four decades separate the field’s youngest guns — 37-year-old Mayor Pete Buttigieg and 38-year-old Rep. Tulsi Gabbard — from the eldest of the bunch, former Vice President Joe Biden, 76, and Sen. Bernie Sanders,
who turns 78 in early September. My thought: Candidates at both ends of the age spectrum seem to suffer in comparison to those in the middle. Whereas younger candidates feel insufficiently “life smart” to hold the highest office in the land, their elders can come across as detached from the concerns plaguing the 90% of Americans younger than they are. And yes, I include 73-year-old Donald Trump in this calculus as well. Our Constitution sets various age limits for the American political process. We must be 18 to vote, 25 to serve in the House, 30 to serve in the Senate and 35 years old to run for president. Perhaps it’s time to affix an age maximum to run for elected office. I’m thinking 70 years old sounds about right. Of course, age is an advantage in some professions. Would you take advice from a 24-year-old marriage counselor? Me neither. I want my attorney to have gray hair and war stories. The same goes for my psychiatrist and my investment advisor. But I prefer my presidents, sheriffs and rock stars to have read about Methuselah, rather than considering him a peer. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

OPINION
READER’S VIEWPOINTS LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Labor Day Editor: Since its earliest days, the labor movement has sought to improve the quality of work life, create workplace democracy and participate in employer/employee decision-making. The many benefits and protections workers enjoy today never existed until unions won them for working people — Social Security, an eight-hour workday and weekends off, overtime pay, safety standards, holiday pay, health and welfare protection, family and medical leave, grievance and arbitration procedures and pension plans. Organized labor has also served to advance civil rights and human rights. The dramatic decline in union membership in the recent years — in large part the result of deliberate, effective and often illegal tactics by employers — has a substantial negative impact on the welfare of all American workers. Today, the crisis for unions is a combination of direct threats from Trump’s agenda and politicians who are hostile to the interests of working people. During the last few years, initiatives designed to lower labor standards, weaken unions and erode workplace protections have been launched. Such far-reaching and mean-spirited structural changes weaken the bargaining power and political influence of organized labor.
Organized labor not only protects and strengthens the rights of union workers, but it is the most powerful voice for fair treatment of all employees and the most effective check on corporate influence in Congress and legislatures across the nation. Just as we paid tribute to the worker on Labor Day, let us honor labor leaders and union members committed to social justice and equal economic opportunity for all people. With our voices let us show support of organized labor and necessary measures to strengthen unions. And in local and national elections let us cast our votes in support of candidates who agree that it is unacceptable to treat workers as little more than obstacles in the path to bigger profits.

Hello, readers! Welcome back to Business Briefcase! I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. This week, we resume the column with a fairly new restaurant, a net-leased property sale and then a ribbon-tying event for a local organization’s visibility.

Glendale Avenue, a bit east of 51st Avenue, Casa del Taco offers Mexican specialty dishes like two chiles rellenos (served with rice, beans and tortillas) or three cheesy enchiladas (also served with rice and beans), among others. Family meals, gorditas and empandas are also available, as are classics like burritos and tacos. And for appetizers,

Moving along, FM NPL Glendale LLC of Delaware purchased a 52,330-square-foot net-leased office/ industrial property near Northview Avenue and Glen Harbor Boulevard from NPL Construction Co. for $9 million. Marcus & Millichap announced the sale. Its Phoenix investment specialist Jay Krew and West Los Angeles investment specialist Marty Cohan procured the buyer. Gregg Fox of Marc Realty assisted.
“Through internal relationships, we procured a buyer with detailed acquisition criteria to achieve their objectives,” Krew explained. “By consistently tracking the market, we successfully identified multiple opportunities for our client to consider. The subject property provides a longterm sale-leaseback opportunity that satisfied the buyer’s needs of a stable and predictable stream of income.

Cobra football brotherhood led by pair of real ones BY ERIC NEWMAN
Glendale Star Staff Writer
You hear it from high school football teams across the state: The players from nearly every program describe their bond as a brotherhood. For Cactus football’s defense, led by Nate and Nicc Quinones, the word carries a little extra weight. The pair of seniors’ actual brotherhood helps them succeed on the football field. If their solid play, which terrorizes opposing offenses, does not make them stand out, Nate’s long, wavy hair sticking out of his football helmet might. The brothers have been playing football together — Nicc at safety, Nate at linebacker — since they were little kids. Nate remembers running to the bus at about 8 years old, when a coach from a local youth football team ran after them and asked them to play on his team. After putting on pads and hitting for the first time, they were hooked. “It was cool, and we’ve been teammates ever since,” Nate said, laughing. Great friends as well as close on and off the field, the pair’s communication and work ethic spreads throughout the rest of the Cobras, especially on defense. “They see how we are always talking, always trying to get better, and then they get it at it, too,” Nicc said.

On the field the pair are talented and work tremendously well in concert, in the form of 132 and 121 tackles from Nate and Nicc, respectively, in 2018. Those totals were among the state leaders in all of 4A. Nicc also tied for the team lead in interceptions (3) while Nate compiled 10 sacks. “It’s rare you even get one kid with those kind of numbers in a season,

much less two in the same year. They’re tremendous,” Cactus coach Joseph Ortiz said. “And it’s not just stats, though. They are an engine for this team because of everything they do.” Even in succeeding at a violent sport like football, it is rare to see the two fighting or arguing. Their love exceeds any sort of petty squabbles. But they are
consistently trying to one-up the other in a friendly way at every opportunity. Nate makes a game-changing sack on a crucial drive? He will brag about it to his brother running off the field. Nicc intercepts a pass? Nate is the first to hear about it. That banter exists not just on the field, either. The pair often competes in Madden football, as well as comparing grades on school assignments. Life, for the Quinones’, is a constant contest that motivates them to improve on all aspects of life, especially football. “It helps us get better. I know he’s going to work hard, and he knows I am. So it pushes us,” Nicc said. The Quinones brothers hope to play college football together after graduation. If they keep up their production, it is hard to see it playing out any other way. But, for the rest of 2019, both Nate and Nicc are focused on their final high school football season, which opened with a 13-0 victory over Catalina Foothills on August 30. Led by the pair, the Cactus defense has high potential. “We’ve got a lot of young guys — (we’re) even starting a freshman — but then some guys with experience like us that have been here a long time, and everyone knows what they have to do,” Nate said. “So it should be fun to see what we can do.”

Fitzgerald, Kirk in full support of retiring quarterback BY TYLER DUNN Cronkite News
At 35 and 22, respectively, Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk are at opposite ends of their respective NFL career spectrums. But that age gap didn’t keep the Arizona Cardinals receivers from reacting in the same way to the sudden retirement of 29-year-old Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. Their message? Let the man do what he chooses. Both players were among the first to express their support for the often-injured Indianapolis Colts star on Twitter following Luck’s unexpected announcement. Speaking outside Fitzgerald’s 11th annual Fitz’s Supper Club fundraising event in Scottsdale, the pair expanded on the thoughts they shared on social media. “Everybody’s life is their own,” Fitzgerald said. “You make decisions based on what you need and what’s best for you. I support him playing, I support him retiring — he’s my friend regardless.” Fitzgerald wasn’t done pitching the architecture collaboration he hinted at on Twitter, either. “Anybody who knows Andrew knows he’s a really sharp dude. Whatever he decides he’s going to do in his next endeavor, he’s going to be successful doing that,” Fitzgerald said before smiling. “So, I was just telling him, ‘You know, if you need some help, well bring me on over to the team.’ I’d be happy to team up with him after.” Fitzgerald turned 36 on August 31 and retirement rumors have circulated around him for the past several seasons. But as he prepares for his 16th
Arizona Cardinals receivers Christian Kirk, center, and Larry Fitzgerald, right, voiced strong support of the decision by quarterback Andrew Luck to retire, at the 11th annual Fitz’s Supper Club charity event. (Photo by Alex Simon/Cronkite News)
NFL season, Fitzgerald said he still feels good and enjoys taking the field. “It’s something you dream about doing since you’re a child,” Fitzgerald said. “To still be able to do it at 35 years old is a blessing.” Since entering the league in 2012, Luck has battled significant injuries, including a lacerated kidney in 2015, a concussion in 2016 and a torn muscle in his shoulder that cost him the entire 2017 season. He was trying to get past a lower leg injury during training camp when he decided to call it quits. Fitzgerald has been more fortunate, missing only six games his entire NFL career and playing in 71 consecutive regular-season or playoff games in a streak that stretches more than four seasons. “I don’t take it for granted; I don’t take it lightly,” Fitzgerald said, acknowledging his near-ironman status. “The ball has to bounce in your direction for you to be able to do it, and I’m thankful for that.” Kirk echoed his veteran counter-

part’s praise of Luck, but was noticeably bothered by the immediate reaction of some Colts fans who could be heard booing the quarterback off the field after reports of his retirement surfaced during a preseason game at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. “Sickening,” said Kirk, who first learned of the booing when he saw a video on Twitter. “I don’t feel like anybody deserves to go through that.”
The nature of Luck’s retirement — a top NFL quarterback in his prime walking away two weeks before his team’s regular-season opener — was bound to be a lightning rod. But Fitzgerald and Kirk represent a large contingent of current and past players who have come to Luck’s defense. Hall of Fame players Troy Aikman and Bo Jackson each responded forcefully to a disparaging tweet by Fox Sports analyst Doug Gottlieb. Luck’s Indianapolis teammates Eric Ebron and T.Y. Hilton thanked him via social media. Stars such as quarterback Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints, Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette are just a few of the NFL players who posted words of support and encouragement for Luck on social media. “People don’t really understand how much we put into this sport and what we put on the line for it,” Kirk said at Fitzgerald’s event. “To be booed for a decision about your future is disrespectful, and it’s inconsiderate.”

There, she is happy to embody downtown vibes and be a part of its development and growth. In the short time in which she has been in her position at the chamber, Kinkead has been amazed with the chamber members’ efforts to make her feel welcome. And when she is not in the office conquering obstacles in her day-to-day tasks, Kinkead devotes her spare time to self-care and relaxation in the comfort of her Glendale home. She gained a bachelor’s degree in fine arts with an emphasis in studio art-painting at Northern Arizona University. She graduated in May. Before coming on board with the chamber, Kinkead interned in multiple
art museums/galleries that enabled her access a passion for painting and bridge into business.

D-backs executive improves lives with baseball BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Debbie Castaldo has been with the Arizona Diamondbacks for 11 years, but the former Glendale resident is their unsung heroine. She serves as the team’s vice president, corporate and community impact, and executive director of the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation. The D-backs Give Back efforts include more than $60 million in charitable contributions to nonprofit organizations throughout the state on behalf of the D-backs and the foundation. “If you had asked me if I’d ever end up doing this, I never would have guessed in a million years,” she said. “The culture created under (managing general partner) Ken Kendrick is unsurpassed.” When he hired Castaldo in 2009, he gave her a blank canvas — and that was during the financial crisis. “He said we need to do more than ever, so let’s get ‘em. Let’s do this,” she said. “We started to build a legacy here that started before the team was ever a team. We continued to escalate those efforts. We’ve become a community leader.” During Castaldo’s tenure, community involvement with corporate partners
from Fry’s, Tide and Steward Health, the program expanded to 115 leagues and 70,000 players and coaches. Spearheaded by Castaldo, the team has dedicated 42 youth baseball field — mostly in the name of D-backs players and staff. The team’s charitable efforts recently surpassed $65 million in charitable giving in real dollars. Castaldo’s goal is $100 million. “In addition to that, we have 120 Little League participants in the youth jersey program,” she said. “Our true legacy is to continue to grow the game of baseball and softball at a time when purchasing a baseball glove is out of reach. We want to be the solution to keeping kids on the field.”

has grown to include integrated philanthropic programs with APS, Arizona Lottery, Chase, Crescent Crown Distributing, Dignity Health, Fox Sports Arizona, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Sanderson Ford, University of Phoenix, Fry’s Food Stores and Safelite Autoglass. She also helped create Gonzo’s Hometown Heroes with Luis Gonzalez. In 2014, she worked with Paul and Amy Goldschmidt to create Goldy’s Fund for Kids supporting Phoenix
Children’s Hospital. “We raise money, but more importantly, we make an impact,” she said. “We solve problems for our community. It’s hard work. We’re out front doing it every single day. That makes this job so rewarding. The D-backs are committed to the community, she said, and demonstrate it through the D-backs Youth Jersey Program, which provides jerseys and hats to youth baseball and softball leagues in Arizona. This year, with help
Getting started
Castaldo earned a degree in business administration and marketing from the University of Texas at El Paso in 1992. Before the D-backs, she worked for St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center as director of philanthropic innovation. Prior to joining St. Joseph’s, Castaldo was the director of strategic partnerships for Westcor Shopping Centers, but she began her career in Arizona SEE CASTALDO PAGE 19

2 rare gibbons born at Wildlife World Zoo
BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park recently announced the birth of two rare species — pileated and white-handed gibbons. These are significant births for Wildlife World, as well as for animal conservation worldwide, as gibbons are the most endangered primates globally. Between Wildlife World’s three gibbon families, the zoo has welcomed 12 gibbon babies over the past 18 years. Wildlife World is one of only two zoos in the country to care for the pileated gibbon. With this being the zoo’s third birth of the species, this brings the total number of these critically endangered primates in the United States to 14. Wildlife World currently has siamang, white-handed and pileated gibbons on display. This makes its gibbon collection one of the largest and most diverse in the country. Gibbons are small, tailless apes found in the tropical rainforests of southern and Southeast Asia. They are
among the fastest of all primates, and despite lacking a tail for balance they can be found walking on their hind legs along branches high above the ground, characteristically raising their arms above their head for balance. Wildlife World’s keepers and veterinarians have raised dozens of species of wild and endangered animals over the past quarter century. All baby primates are raised by their parents, while select other species are raised in the zoo’s baby animal nursery. With more than 600 species and 6,000 animals on display, there are often new arrivals at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park. Other babies on display include a zebra, two bobcats, DeBrazza monkeys, endangered addax and Arabian oryx, and other youngsters throughout the 100-acre park. As a USDA-licensed, private institution accredited by the Zoological Association of America and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks & Aquariums, Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park receives zero taxpayer funding.
No tax dollars have ever been spent to build or operate Wildlife World in its nearly 35-year history. Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park is located at 16501 W. Northern Avenue, Litchfield Park (at the southeast corner of State Route 303 and Northern Avenue). It is open seven days a week, 365 days a year, including all holidays. Zoo exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (last zoo admission is at 5 p.m.). Aquarium exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission includes access to the zoo, aquarium and safari park. For more information, call 623-935-WILD
(9453) or visit the zoo on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter @zoowildlife, or on wildlifeworld.com.

CASTALDO FROM PAGE 18
with Alltel, heading up marketing operations for the wireless company’s Southwest region. As general manager of marketing at Alltel, her responsibilities included marketing, advertising, public relations, community affairs, sports marketing and product development. She and her husband, Vince, were introduced to the West Valley through his time with the Milwaukee Brewers’ organization. “We moved to Arizona in ’96 initially to Glendale,” she said. “We’ve been in Peoria for 20 years. It’s an unbelievable place to raise kids — all the activities, the access to parks, the public schools. We’re huge public school advocates. “I worked on the budget override a few years ago. I really try to give back.” Their sons, Jake and Zack, attended Centennial High School. Castaldo further made her mark on the West Valley as an honorary commander at Luke Air Force Base, which boasts the Mark Grace Thunderbolt Field. She was inspired by Lt. Col. Katie (Taboo) Gaetke, the third female F16 squadron commander. She led the 309th Fighter Squadron at Luke Air
Force Base. Now she works with Lt. Col. Kristin (Mother) Hubbard, who leads the 310th Fighter Squadron. “They’re completely inspiring,” she said. “Katie’s husband Matt flies stealth bombers. They’re a power couple. I’m very blessed to know them. They’re so much fun and they’re fun to learn from and observe. “I admire the roles that they play, not only in the entire marketplace and the West Valley, but to get and know their individual selfless approach to protecting our country and trying to raise their kids. It’s quite the work-life balance.” Castaldo said the reasons behind her success are simple: She picks topics she’s passionate about. “When you pick things you love and are passionate about, you always find time,” she said. “We do things as a family, too. When you’re doing things as a family, it doesn’t feel like work. Plus, from myself on down and all the way to the top (at the Diamondbacks), we’re extremely passionate, genuine and authentic. We love doing what we’re doing. When we see a child having success in school and in life, I know some of those lessons were learned on a baseball field.”

MWU student wins two titles at Miss Asian pageant BY NATALIE URQUIZA
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
One could call Emmeline Ye’s first go at any kind of pageant a success. The Midwestern University student, who is earning a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, recently traveled to San Francisco for the Miss Asian Global and Miss Asian America Pageant. Despite it being his first pageant, she won two titles: Miss Asian Charity and Miss Asian STEM. The platform on which she based her campaign was the prevention of veterinary suicide. But she didn’t always see herself as someone who would partake in something like a pageant. “Growing up I was extremely shy; I would never be willing to get up on stage or perform,” Ye admitted. “My parents encourage me to do modeling, just because I am really tall. I refused because I was really shy.” In 2018, her opinion about performing in front of crowds changed when she was approached by Dr. Francis Kong. Of all places to be asked, she was attending the San Diego Comic-Con International. “I was dressed up as Wonder Woman,” said Ye, whose hometown is San Diego. “I was taking pictures with random people all day. Then this man introduced himself and began asking if I have and was willing to participate in pageants.” After thinking about his offer, she decided to visit San Francisco, where the pageant was held. And when she arrived, she got to go backstage to help out the contestants. There she got her first taste of the world of pageantry. “I got an inside look at Miss Asian Global last year. Then I decided I wanted to do it this year because it looked so cool and everyone was really inspiring,” she said. As a nonprofit, the Miss Asian Global and Miss Asian America Pageant is hosted by the Miss Asian America Foundation, whose goal is to help empower Asian-American women and further their careers through networking opportunities, training and special events. “The pageant is not only raising funds for the actual organization but to help empower the women that are participating,” Ye said. “The organization wants to help further their careers and further their goals.”
months of preparation. And criteria include raising the most money for the foundation that sponsors the pageant. Contestants must create a one-minute video in which they introduce themselves and their platform. “They attach that to your donation page and it encourages people to donate to the foundation. You can use any social media or whatever networking you have to promote it,” she explained.

Point on why I should get a dog,” Ye said. “I checked a bunch of books from the library about how to take care of dogs. I presented it to my parents, and they still refused.” Finally, at age 16, she received her first dog, who she named Coco. It was Coco who provide to be a big inspiration for her foray into the veterinary field. She wasn’t always set on being a veterinarian, however. When she started her undergraduate degree at the University of California San Diego, she accepted a prestigious internship in China at a large, international bank. But that internship steered her to her interest in animals. “I did not like finance or economics. I didn’t want to be stuck in a cubical all day,” Ye said. “I decided to purse veterinary medicine, which was a complete 180.” She came back to the states and changed her major to biology, which caused her to graduate a year and a half late. She then spent 16 months working for different veterinary clinics while she applied to vet school. At last, she was accepted by Midwest University. Thus far, she feels her time at Midwestern has grown her knowledge abundantly from when she entered college. But there’s still a ways to go. “I still have so far to go just because you don’t really know until you start doing it,” Ye admitted. “That is how it is with the medical field; you learn all this stuff in class but you don’t internalize it until you go out and do it.” As of late, Ye feels there hasn’t been a strong female Asian role model in the veterinary community. To her, the last one was Dr. Sophia Yin. Now having won two Miss Asian titles, and still pursuing her studies, Ye hopes to be that leader. “She (Yin) was a very prominent veterinarian behaviorist. Unfortunately, she committed suicide,” Ye said. “If possible, I want to be that strong Asian female role model for the veterinarian community.” To find out more about Ye, call 1-858-740-7498 or find her on Instagram @xemmradio. She is currently looking for community events and small businesses that could benefit from an appearance from Miss Asian Charity and STEM.

It’s OK to like characters, but they better have character, too Let’s start with this thought. The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note and posted on the apple tray: “Take only one. God is watching.” Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table, was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies. A girl had written a note, “Take all you want. God is watching the apples.” That girl is probably one of those characters that could use a bit of character. Have you noticed all the chatter about character and ethics lately? Most days some big shot is caught in some character failing. It’s frontline news. We are shocked. We get outraged, but only if it’s a person with whom we don’t philosophically agree. The big shot with whom we agree philosophically gets a free pass. Doesn’t that reveal a character issue in us almost as significant as them? Times like that in which we are living require good character more than ever. Good character traits are listed in school cafeteria walls, in the newspaper, in businesses and in politics. It seems like the more we push good character in our world, the more we get characters in our world. However, good

character won’t return until we get an a-ha about the necessity of character in all aspects of life. Character comes from within. Just because one acts like they have character doesn’t mean they have good character. You can’t change your character by getting a facelift. Today, we are obsessed with characters who have zero character. They are weird and entertaining. It makes for good optics and good media ratings. The message being broadcasted 24 hours a day is a character doesn’t need good character. But where are 90% of those characters 20 years later? That kind of personality-driven, media-supported success has a short shelf life. It’s not sustainable. It will get you in the long run. It’s not progressive. It’s regressive to both the character as well as the audience. Character determines long-term success. Our talents, drive, gifts or abilities might get us to the top, but character keeps us there.

potential is impossible without good character. Our character affects others and their trust in us. Trust violations because of character flaws and deficiencies create limited and guarded relationships. People and institutions withdraw from us. It becomes a “loselose” for everyone. Let me give you an example of what I’m talking about. Years ago, I was contacted by a high official of the United Nations. He shared with me that he was the head of a U.N. program whose goal was to find people of “ethics” who could teach on character in cities throughout Russia. He said many western businesses had invested in Russia, but because of a lack of basic business ethics, most of those businesses were now leaving Russia. That was leading to instability in Russia. The United Nations’ solution was to find leaders from other countries with a lifestyle of good ethics or values and introduce those values to the Russian business community through seminars all over Russia. The characters were there. They just lacked character. Did you catch that? The United Nations understood those businesses coming to Russia would never add real value to Russia with employees, politicians, teachers, academics, business leaders and the like who are characters with little character. Fair ethics and good character are essential for any nation, business or person to thrive in the long term. Theodore Roosevelt wisely said, “To educate a man in the mind and not in morals (values) is to educate a menace to society.” Lindsay White of Costa’s
Fresh Produce says, “We used to hire people for their skills, but we found we were firing them for character issues. Now we hire for character (values) and train for skills.” Let me ask you a question. If you were an employer, which of these employees would you rather employ? An employee who is alert or careless; compassionate or indifferent; diligent or slothful; orderly or confused; thorough or incomplete; has a good attitude or a bad attitude? If you are an employee, for what type of employer would you rather work? An employer who is generous or stingy; attentive or distracted; wise or foolish; truthful or untruthful; ethical or unethical? The answers should be obvious. Many have given up hope on finding people with good character these days. Character or the lack of character affects us all. Character can be our best friend or our worst enemy! Make character your best friend! Character isn’t old-fashioned. It’s wise because it’s efficient and it’s effective. History shows the people and nations who forget the necessity of good ethics and character are soon forgotten themselves. Allow me to say it this way: It’s OK to like a character, but they better have character, too! How about you, the character? The bigger you grow in quality character, the better quality of life gets for the character.
