Families from William C. Jack School and Don Mensendick School were recently invited to share their ideas for the ultimate playgrounds. The city of Glendale was awarded a KABOOM! Playground Grant to build two new playgrounds at O’Neil Park at 65th Ave. & Missouri Ave. The design process centered around the voices of the community, both kids and adults, to design, plan, and build new play spaces using the KABOOM! signature community-build model. The building of the playgrounds will take place in November 2022.

“This will make an incredible difference in each child’s day because too many students start off being hungry,” he said. “Studies have shown that students who eat school breakfast achieved, on average, 17.5% higher scores on standardized math tests and attended one and a half more school days per year.”

“Our purpose is to feed the human spirit, which is about taking care of one another, our customers and the community,” Garnes said. “This sponsorship ensures that students can focus on their studies, rather than be distracted by hunger. It also provides additional access to nutritious food and school meals for thousands of students so no student goes hungry.

not as far as providing commercial scale power. Those places may need to have an energy mix that relies more on our abundant fossil fuel supplies. But one thing is clear: Our modern society requires more and more energy every day. And that is not going to change anytime soon. So we need to produce more of it.

First, we need government to get out of the business of picking winners and losers when it comes to energy sources. And that means we must ﬁrst acknowledge that when it comes to energy sources, this isn’t a sporting event that needs to have a winner and a loser. We can pursue multiple avenues of energy production. In fact, a diverse energy supply is a great way to achieve true energy security.

Recently, the Senate and House passed an energy, tax and health care bill called the Inﬂation Reduction Act that, among other things, invests in clean energy infrastructure and other climate-focused initiatives.

This is a real problem because the uncertainty hanging over the industry

In my view, the best things we can do to ease the burden of high energy costs and inﬂation on families and businesses across Arizona are to increase production of all of our abundant energy resources, reduce the regulatory burdens on energy producers and suppliers, and support and participate in a robust global energy trade.

Finally, policymakers in the United States must ensure our participation in a robust global energy trade. It is no secret that global markets, especially the oil markets, work best when they operate free from protectionist taxes and restrictive policies that ban exports. More energy products flowing around the globe will not only help reduce costs, it will lessen the influence of actors like OPEC and countries like Russia that seek to use energy supplies as a means of extracting geopolitical influence over import-reliant nations. The United States, due to our abundance of oil and gas resources, has a chance to lead the world in global energy trade and we should take advantage of the opportunity.

As a fuel products retailer in the Glendale-Phoenix area, I see ﬁrsthand how government policies that restrict the energy supply or try to pick winners and losers among our energy resources can harm communities in the form of increased energy costs.

One immediate thing we can do to boost the availability of energy resources is to reduce the regulatory burdens on energy producers and suppliers. Even the Biden administration’s clean energy agenda could be snarled in bureaucratic delays caused by overzealous federal regulators. Likewise, pipelines and other needed energy infrastructure upgrades are delayed for years while various government agencies take their shots at private companies seeking to do nothing more than provide critical energy supplies to people who need them.

Benjamin Franklin, present at the creation of our government and an active participant in its founding, viewed democracy with distrust. As Franklin put it, “Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.” Nowhere in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights will you ﬁnd “democracy.” Instead our founders refer to our “republic,” a government based upon the rule of law.

While a few states, including Texas and Florida, have seen a rapid increase at 71% in girls playing hockey in the past decade, participation remains heavily skewed. Men outnumber women 9 to 1 in participation across the country, according to a study done by Zippia. Access could be one reason for the imbalance between men and women.

Koelzer and Cheverie hope their success stories, groundbreaking accomplishments and efforts in creating more opportunities will help break barriers for women with goals to succeed in the male-dominated sport in the future. Still, the two women coaches, the Coyotes organization and a band of others realize there’s work to be done.

“Last year, for 152 slices of bread we paid about $3.80,” said Gleave, the director of food and nutrition services at Glendale Elementary School District. “This year the cost is right at $6.90 for the same amount.”

The situation may seem complex, but to advocates like Lewis the solution is

“We are seeing anywhere from a 5% to 200% price increase compared to last school year for many of the products that we purchase,” Aguilar said.

Or you can talk to Shannon Gleave.

Prices are set by each school district.

Schoolchildren can still get a free or reduced-price meal depending on their family’s income. But they have to apply and prove they meet the income thresholds: Children whose families make up to 130% of the federal poverty level qualify for free meals, while those making up to 185% can get a meal at a reduced cost of 30 cents for breakfast and 40 cents per lunch.

Already, Aguilar said her district has had to raise prices by 20 cents per meal, boosting the full price for lunch to $2.50 for kindergarten through ﬁfth grade students and $3 for sixth through 12th graders. It’s the ﬁrst time the district has raised prices since 2019, when pandemic relief programs helped subsidize school meals.

Lindsay Aguilar, the Tucson Uniﬁed School District’s director of food services, said those have been some of the steepest increases, with containers for storing salads and vegetables going up 116-135% over the last year.

The latest numbers from the BLS show that overall food costs rose 10.9% nationwide from July 2021 to July 2022. Prices were up across the board, including in the staples of the school cafeteria: Milk rose 15.6%, fresh fruits were up 9%, bread was 13.7% higher and the cost of eggs increased 38%.

But school ofﬁcials worry that the application process, after two years without one, could be a challenge for families. And they note that, in many cases, families exceeding the income levels must pay in full for meals.

After two years in which COVID-19 relief funds helped pay for free meals for all students, school districts found themselves this fall trying to deliver meals with less support and much-higher prices than before, due to inﬂation.

been a concern for the past two years because of COVID-19 relief measures that waived the application for the free and reduced-price meal program in schools. That meant that any public school student was eligible for a free meal as long as the waivers lasted. The waivers lasted until this summer.

“We are doing everything that we can to make sure that parents are not affected at the schools,” Gleave said. “They are experiencing the rising inﬂation costs at home, so we work diligently to make sure that we are doing what we can to make sure that these meals are still accessible to all students at a reasonable price.”

Inﬂation has schools scrambling to aﬀord student meals

Even the rising cost of food storage is putting the pinch on school districts.

“Students learn better when they are fed. We all take in information differently when we aren’t worrying about where our next meal is coming from,” said Lewis, a former teacher.

or ﬁnd a way to lower costs.

It’s a situation being faced by school districts across the state, where officials are scrambling to figure out how to afford meals for students at a time when inflation nationwide is running at the highest level in decades.

To see the real-world impact of inﬂation, you can look to the reams of data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Educators said a good meal is critical to child’s learning and development.

“For a lot of students, the two meals that they can really rely on each day are breakfast and lunch at school,” said Beth Lewis, the executive director of Save our Schools Arizona.

“Our fans are loyal. They go through the battle with us, and they’re part of the team.”

He also aims to develop servant hearts within his children. “I think if I can get them to understand the value of servant leadership, I will have done my job as a dad. We’re doing this together as a family,” Kenny said.

His heart opened to service about six years ago after he met a young Monster Jam fan. The boy’s hair started falling out due to chemotherapy. He told his parents, “Before I have to cut all of my hair, can we shave it into a mohawk because I want to be like the Mohawk Warrior?”

In the midst of ﬁlming, the actress balances her role as a full-time student — a feat that she ﬁnds easy thanks to teachers on set to assist her with her lessons.“Sometimes it’s even better than going in person, because I really appreciate how they put their full attention on me so I can ask them questions that I usually don’t understand in class,” Curet said.

I’m inspired by many “handicapped” people I see. They are playing basketball. They are contributing to the community. They are doing remarkable things despite their handicap. The more they fulﬁll their goals, the better they are mentally and emotionally. As their handicap descends, their life “score” ascends. They are taking the “cap” off their handicap. That takes guts, resolve and grit. Look at their outcome. The better they get, the less their handicap puts a cap on them.

Frank Ellis says, “Every single one of us is handicapped — physically, mentally, socially and spiritually — to a degree. And although we seldom think about it, the person without faith has a far greater handicap than the person without feet.” Someone like that is handicapped without being handicapped in the traditional sense of the word. Caps have capped us from being all that we can be.

Wilma would run for hours due to the sheer joy she experienced when running. Eventually, Wilma threw away her brace. When Wilma was 16, she qualified for the 1956 Olympics and won a bronze medal. Then, she qualified for the 1960 Olympics and became a superstar. On the day before her first heat in the 100, Wilma severely sprained her ankle but still won gold medals in the 100-meter and 200-meter

every golfer who plays for real has a handicap. Handicaps are created essentially so everyone comes out to play, even in a golf tournament. If my handicap is 20, and I play on a par-72 golf course, I could score a 92 and be even par. On the other hand, the golfer with an eight handicap and scores 84 scores 76. I scored lower than the guy who scored an 84 because of my handicap. The better golfers become, the less handicap they have.

One day the orchestra leader became ill, and young Toscanini was the only orchestra member who knew the score. So, he conducted the orchestra without a score, and the audience gave him a

Many people have become handicapped by holding grudges against others. The heaviest load any person carries on their back is a pack of grievances. The worst thing about these kinds of handicaps is that many people aren’t even aware of the load they carry. How about a handicapped attitude? Attitude is like a ﬂat tire. Change it, or you’re going nowhere. Grudges and bad attitudes are like a mental wheelchair rather than a metal wheelchair. How about the handicap of unforgiveness? Unforgiveness is like a spiritual and emotional vampire sucking the life out of us, and we don’t even know it.

Take Wilma Rudolf, born prematurely, the 20th out of 22 children. As a young child, she contracted double pneumonia and scarlet fever. At age 4, she developed polio, and her left leg began to atrophy. The doctors thought she would never walk again, but her family didn’t give up. They took turns massaging her legs for hours. Finally, with a brace and orthopedic shoe aid, she slowly started to walk. Then, when she was 11, the leg brace came off, and the orthopedic shoe, which she hated, was thrown away.

Faith Baldwin noted this tendency in well-meaning people. “If you fashion a crutch for someone, they may walk with it all their lives. If you show them how to walk, crippled as they may be, they (many) will learn to overcome their handicap. Many parents have forever crippled their children by an oversupply of Perhaps,‘crutches.’”intoday’s culture, we have too many crutches and not enough uncapped beliefs like Wilma and her parents. That’s a revelation, not condemnation.Irealize that not every handicapped person will do or even can do what Wilma Rudolf did. Her assignment by God was to win races. But there are other handicapped people with different assignments in life that only they can do if they would uncap their handicap, whatever that handicap is. The smallest step in the right direction always creates Remember,joy.we all are handicapped people in some way. The better we get, the better it gets, even with our handicaps.

Arturo Toscanini is an excellent example of a man who turned a handicap into a blessing. He owed his success — or at least his chance at success — to the fact that he was very nearsighted. How could that help a musician? At 19, he was playing cello in an orchestra. Since he couldn’t see the music on the stand, he had to memorize it.

made hiring managers turn a person away, according to the survey:

• Others posted great references candidates.about

So what are the dos and don’ts of creating your online brand?

That said, there were several factors that caused hiring managers to look more favorably on a candidate. Many are under your control.

• Candidate lied about an absence.

According to CareerBuilder’s survey:

1. Define who you are.

Your personal brand, according to Dr. Sean Gresh, a faculty member at Northeastern University, is your story. It is who you are, what you stand for, the values you embrace and the way you express those values, he said. It helps you to “communicate a unique identity and clear value to potential employers.”

JOBS.PHOENIX.ORG / JOBS.PHOENIX.ORG / JOBS.PHOENIX.ORG / JOBS.PHOENIX.ORG / JOBS.PHOENIX.ORG / JOBS.PHOENIX.ORG24 September 15, 2022 TOCALL ADVERTISE 480-898-6465 HIRINGNOW JOBS.PHOENIX.ORG JOBS.LOCAL PEOPLE.LOCAL JOB SEEKERS jobs.phoenix.org 480-898-6465

Capitol One suggests the following steps to create your personal brand:

3. Decide what you want to be known for.

• Candidate interacted with the company’s social media accounts.

• Candidate was creative.

Once you have established your brand, maintain it. Even after you get the job, managers may be monitoring you and making decisions about your future promotions.

What do you want to avoid? These things

• Employer was able to get a good feel for the candidate’s personality.

• Candidate had a large number of followers or subscribers.

• Candidate displayed great communication skills.

• Candidate lied about qualifications.

• Candidate had poor communication skills.

• Candidate was linked to criminal behavior.

• Candidate received awards and accolades.

CareerBuilder listed both what led employers not to hire a candidate and what made them more likely to hire a candidate.

• Candidate posted information about them drinking or using drugs.

• Candidate made discriminatory comments related to race, gender, religion, etc.

What do they include?

4. Prepare your elevator pitch.

According to a Career Builder survey in 2018, 57% of hiring managers who search for information about candidates online have found content that caused them not to hire a person.

• Candidate’s screen name was unprofessional.

• Candidate’s site conveyed a professional

• Candidate was well-rounded with a wide range of interests.

The site “We Work Remotely” reports that 80% of hiring managers consider it important for a candidate to have a personal website and 47% of companies say they won’t hire someone if they can’t find them online.

• Candidate shared confidential information from previous employers.

• Candidate posted compelling video or other content.

Creating your brand

• Background information supported a candidate’s professional qualifications.

Take control of creating a strong personal brand for yourself, which means knowing what it is and making a plan.

• Candidate posted too frequently.

• Candidate posted inappropriate or provocative photographs, videos or information.

image.

2. Understand your audience.

Let those guide how you act online, what you put out there and how you promote yourself. Decide the best places to pitch yourself. Columbia University’s Career Center recommends focusing on a few professional social networks and not saturating the market.

Keep it clean

Employers no longer rely only on resumes, cover letters and background checks. Today, most hiring managers take to the internet and google their potential hires.

Building a Personal Brand

• Candidate bad-mouthed their previous company or fellow employee.
