Council looks at stricter marijuana dispensary ordinance By DARRELL JACKSON STAFF WRITER As Glendale continues to approve marijuana dispensaries within city limits, the City Council gave staff consensus to research changing the zoning ordinance related to the distance required for dispensaries to be near any school. The current ordinance states,

medical marijuana dispensary offsite cultivation, medical marijuana dispensary and medical marijuana infusion (or manufacturing) facility distance requirements with the following text, “Shall not be located within 1,320 feet of an elementary, secondary or high school. The distance shall be measured in a straight line from the exterior walls of the building or portion

thereof in which the business is conducted or proposed to be conducted to the property line of the protected use.” Sahuaro District Councilmember Ray Malnar asked in October 2017 that city staff address the definition of schools. “This came forward from some of my constituents’ concerns about medical marijuana facility that council approved

directly across the street from a preschool,” Malnar said. “When looking, it was a definition issue as the city ordinance did not define a day care as a school, and I felt that it was important to have the distance from a day care, as well as an elementary school.” The change requested to the scoping statement would add, “Preschools, nursery schools, kinder care, pre-kindergarten

and children’s day care facilities.” Councilmembers hoped the change would make the ordinance apply the 1,320foot separation requirements between medical marijuana cultivation, dispensary and manufacturing locations and schools ranging from pre-school

After 40 years, Friedline retires By DARRELL JACKSON STAFF WRITER After over 40 years in public service, including nearly five years with the city of Glendale, assistant city manager Jack Friedline retired, effective Sept. 28. “My four-plus years here have been wonderful,” Friedline said. “It has been an extremely rewarding tenure for me here in Glendale.” He came to the city in 2014, joining the Public Works Department, where he became Director in June of 2014. He was named assistant city manager in October 2017, joining Tom Duensing as the two

joyed his time with the city and the success it had while he was part of the administrative team. “The majority of my four-plus years was as the city’s Public Works director, with my last year as assistant city manager,” Friedline said. “I was honored to be a part of many successes led by an outstanding team of city staffers.” When Friedline was promoted to the second assistant city manager to serve alongside Duensing, it was part of the city’s strategic organizational realignment under Phelps’ direction. “A few would include

city assistant managers to Kevin Phelps. “I am happy for (Friedline) and after a 45-year career, I wish him the best,” Duensing said. “I am so appreciative for what he has done for Glendale and he was fantastic to work with.” Friedline said he en- MORE FRIEDLINE ON 12

New assistant city manager due Oct. 16 By DARRELL JACKSON STAFF WRITER Former Queen Creek Public Works and Development Services Director Chris Anaradian has been hired to become the new assistant city manager. Anaradian, 45, will replace Jack Friedline, who retired Sept. 28. He will join the city on Oct. 16, becoming the second assistant city manager, along with Tom Duensing. “I believe (Anaradian) will be a great team member who will contribute significantly to the many successes for our city in

the future,” Friedline said. “He will continually be looking at ways to innovate services to enhance and minimize costs for our residents and businesses. He will be working with the directors to keep and enhance the basic services provided to all in Glendale.” Anaradian said it was a merely coincidence he even applied for the position. “Funny story, I actually called (Duensing) for some professional advice in a different area when he mentioned this MORE ASSISTANT ON 2

struggled.” He said they then had to change what the plan for the lake was and they turned things around in different ways. “What we did was focus on available resources on completing the park and holding special events,” Anaradian said. “We went from 200,000 visitors to 2 million a year by finishing the park, holding special events, building the marina and bike paths and art center, which bought (the city) time until the 2005 building boom.” As Glendale assistant city manager, Anaradian will lead five major city departments: Field Opera-

static, communities cannot stay static or they will die,” Anaradian said. “The West Valley is growing by leaps and bounds, and managing communities in transition is more than zoning and buildings, infrastructure or how do we keep clean water getting to people and how can we make good organized decisions to help all citizens.” Anaradian grew up wanting to be a pilot, spending nine years in the Air Force, being deployed two years in Southwest Asia before being discharged in 1998. He earned a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering from the University of Colorado after attending the U.S. Air Force Academy. “I am excited to join the city and honored to have an opportunity to help

lead excellent Glendale employees who are known for their core values and superior service delivery,” Anaradian said. “I am committed to ensuring we continue to increase the quality of life of Glendale residents and improve their lives, through the work we do every day.” Phelps said he is eager to get Anaradian on the team to start improving the city. “Anaradian brings a unique mix of public works expertise, senior management experience and the leadership skills needed to help lead our organization,” Phelps said. “I am excited for him to join the Glendale team at this critical time, as we implement a billion-dollar capital improvement plan over the next decade.”

He said they did that by focusing on bringing events, which highlighted the lake and surrounding areas. “The expectations of (Tempe) were so high when the lake got full of water, they had this grand vision of what they expected and then the dot com bubble burst,” Anaradian said. “At the time the lake was filled, they had such grand ideas and then the dot com bust and things

The fact that he rose to the top is a testament to not only his experience and his technical skills, but it also shows he is able to effectively communicate and was successful in previous work experience. Although he has big shoes to fill, I am confident he will excel.” Anaradian has spent the past six years as the director of Public Works and Development Services in Queen Creek, after spending nearly 11 years with

Local company ranked 212 on Inc. 500 Revenues grow by 2,137% over 4 years By CAROLYN DRYER Editor A Glendale window manufacturer has reached a milestone that some might call the impossible dream. Avanti Industries has gone from a start in 2014 with five employees to No. 212 on Inc. magazine’s 500 top companies in the U.S. with 266 employees in 2018. Over the past four and a half years, Avanti President and CEO Dustin Petty said his family-owned company has experienced an increase in revenues of 2,137 percent. “It’s been a rocket ship, that’s for sure,” Petty said. Just 11 years ago, Petty graduated with a construction degree from the Del E. Webb School of Construction at Arizona State University. But, the degree did not send his career skyrocketing. The recession was beginning and no builder jobs were

available. Petty’s construction skills were set aside for a period of time as he worked for his father in a motorcycle manufacturing company, Saxon Motorcycles, in Casa Grande. Within two years, Petty became a production manager in the business of limited option choppers. “It was my first taste of managing a production facility,” Petty said. He slowly migrated to a position in a building product company, helping manage another window manufacturer. He received his contractor’s license, mainly in window manufacturing, and from that point, his family’s business future changed dramatically. “We collectively got together in 2013,” Petty said. The “we” referred to his wife, Ondrea, father, mother, uncle, cousin and father-in-law. Avanti 1 was a window dis-

tributorship started by Petty’s father, Jerry, in 1985 in Phoenix. In his company’s biography on the Inc. 500 website, the family operation “quickly grew to a large company known for exceptional customer relations.” It was acquired by the JELD-WEN family of companies in 1996. Petty refers to the present Avanti Industries as Avanti 2, complete with his family members. Forward to 2014, when the company opened in Glendale. This time, however, it was more than a distributorship. It was a complete operation — a manufacturer, distributor and installation company of vinyl windows and patio doors. In the process, Petty said, the company depended on past good customers and providing them with “a level of service they were looking for; do it with quality and the way we deliver.” By doing that, Petty

said, his family could control its destiny. “Control what you sell, the whole process, start to finish, we can deliver an unparalleled customer service,” he said. “That’s a dynamic our customers love. In our case, if they’ve got an issue, they pick up the phone and call us. It’s that simple for us.” Petty said Avanti has 45 percent of all big builders in the Valley and continues to grow. Avanti provides windows for Lennar, KB Home, DR Horton, Maracay, Beazer, Taylor Morrison and Richmond American. “Now we’re established with a level of service, customer needs, no excuses … We’re the one trade (where) they don’t have to get involved,” Petty said. Avanti also has satellite operations for distribution and installation in Tucson and Las Vegas. At this point, Avanti produces 1,100 windows a day and Petty said that continues to grow. “We think 1,500 a day is definitely in our sights,” Petty said. “As a team, it’s our goal to get there. We have the equipment on line right now that enables us to get that capacity.” Part of Avanti’s A-Team is Ralph Jordan, vice president for manufacturing and engineering, Petty said. “He’s constantly developing along the product line, working to streamline the evolution of always improving, but the opportunity for improvement

never goes away,” Petty said. To that goal of always improving and growing, Petty said Avanti has re-invested just over $4 million back into the business. He said the past year, Avanti has recorded more than $40 million in annual revenue. In 2014, that number was $9 million. “Whether making a window or training people, we’re constantly evaluating how we do things,” he said. It might be as simple as not making enough windows that day. Whatever it is, he said he and his team reflect and focus on how they can make their products better. “You do it one day at a time, correct mistakes and move the process forward,” Petty said. “Clearly, Avanti today is better than Avanti four years ago, and next month, we’ll be better than we are today. Customers think we’re swell, but we’re not excellent, but we’ve got the team to reach excellence.” On the company’s conference room table sits a glass award from the national organization Window and Door Dealer Alliance. It is the Excellence in Installation Award — 2018 Dealer of the Year. It is recognition of the AIM, Avanti Install Method, a significant step in improving vinyl clad window installation. “We’re trying to change the ways things are done,” Petty said.

Like many industries, Avanti has employees who leave from time to time. Petty said even if an individual applies for a job with Avanti, has no experience, but is open to hard work and growth, he or she will eventually be taking home $30 per hour. “We teach them how to grow and we’re really proud of that,” Petty said. “We build them into craftsmen and pay wages they’re proud of and can live on. We’re nothing without people who work here. I can’t make 1,100 windows a day. We went around in meetings in this industry, heard complaints from businesses about ‘not enough people.’ You have to treat your guy better than the guy next door.” Originally named to the Inc. magazine 5,000 fastest-growing companies, it became apparent Avanti made the top 5 percent of that number and it made the Inc. 500 list. “It’s a cool recognition of what we’ve done here over the years,” Petty said. When Avanti started in 2014, it occupied 40,000 square feet. It is now 112,000 square feet and picking up an additional 50,000. “So, 162,000 square feet right here in Glendale,” Petty said, “and it’s exciting.” Looking down at the air-conditioned plant floor from a large second-story

30 years of caring for our Northwest Valley neighbors When the doors to what is now known as the Abrazo Arrowhead Campus opened at 7 a.m. Oct. 17, 1988, the dream of a community hospital serving the new Arrowhead Ranch area became a reality. In those early days, our service area encompassed a ﬁve-mile radius of the hospital’s location near 67th Avenue and Union Hills. As the Northwest Valley grew, so did the capabilities and service area of our hospital, which today offers treatments and technology only dreamed of 30 years ago. The hard-working team of physicians, nurses, support staff and other caregivers at Abrazo Arrowhead Campus continue the legacy of the original staff at Arrowhead Community Hospital. That 84-bed hospital has grown to 217 beds, but that’s only part of the story. Health-

care has transformed to include much more education and prevention, and now, surgery often is minimally invasive, meaning shorter hospital stays and a quicker return to recovery. So much has changed in the past three decades. For example, cardiovascular care has evolved at a rapid rate, particularly in the past 10 years. Who would have ever thought that a patient could send data from his heart to his doctor’s ofﬁce over

a Wi-Fi connection? It’s a reality today for those suffering from heart failure, thanks to an FDAapproved device called CardioMEMS. In the operating room, robotics have revolutionized the approach to surgery. With the advent of DaVinci and other robotassisted systems, what were once major open surgeries are now performed with minimal incisions. This has beneﬁted patients in urologic, gynecologic, orthopedic and spine procedures, for example. Women’s and infants services have always been a big part of the Arrowhead Campus. We are continually improving the facility and making it the place to deliver for expectant mothers. We’ve even had two generations of Arrowhead deliveries when the hospital’s ﬁrst baby returned for a delivery of her own. Our staff is proud

to welcome newborns into the world every day, and we look forward to further upgrades to our Women’s Care and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in the near future. By the numbers, Abrazo Arrowhead Campus is a busy place. Serving a population of approximately 3 million Northwest Valley residents, our surgeons perform nearly 11,000 surgeries annually, and our Emergency Department treats more than 43,000 patients every year. And those newborns? Every year, more than 3,100 babies are born at Abrazo Arrowhead Campus. Perhaps one of the biggest changes we have noticed is that patients are more empowered and more active in making healthier lifestyle changes. It’s encouraging to see because we can’t do this alone.

Things to consider before voting

The Sept. 20 issue of The Glendale Star contained an editorial by Debbie Lesko talking up how much better off Arizona is now. She makes a lot of claims with no facts. In the article, she repeats three things three times: military, health care and safer communities. This is all talk, no facts. The military hasn’t done anything ADMINISTRATION

The Republicans cutting mandates of healthcare is leaving millions without healthcare, will allow insurers to raise rates by age between 50 and 65. Proposals by Republicans would allow insurers to eliminate coverage of pre-existing conditions or allow higher rates.

As for making our communities safer, Lesko’s stand on gun control is making us less safe; note waking up every morning to news of all the shootings. Tipirneni’s plan of allowing Medicare at age 50 is a good step toward single pay coverage. Lesko mentions working across the aisle. I remember only once and that was pension reform that was really a bipartisan effort. The beneﬁts of the tax plan are

Time for a change in Washington It’s clear that WashingGuest Commentary ton is broken, and judging by the partisan bickering, parade of ethics issues and number of criminal indictments, it seems to be getting more toxic each day. It’s time for a change in our nation’s capital and Hiral Tipirneni its leadership. Candidate Our healthcare system, 8th Congressional District for example, is still in crisis. Nearly a year ago, we only had “repeal” offered as a solution. Thankfully, Sen. John McCain called for true bipartisanship and stalled this legislation, which seemed more like sabotage than solution. To stabilize and strengthen our healthcare system, we need a collaborative approach addressing the twin pillars of expanded coverage and cost containment. That means borrowing ideas from both sides of the debate, like no “age tax,” expanding Medicare so it’s a true public option and encouraging competition between the private and public healthcare sectors. Special interest groups, hyper-partisan politics and the impact of dark money rig the system against us. It’s time for a change. Recent tax “reforms,” for example, were fiscally irresponsible cuts benefitting large corporations and the ultra-wealthy instead of small businesses or the middle-class. Behind rosy economic reports are stagnant wages and higher costs of living. Sure, there are good economic stories here and there, but Washington seems more interested in an economy that works for an elite few rather than most Americans. It now appears that these tax cuts will be paid for with

hits to the retirement security of millions of older Americans who spent a lifetime earning those benefits. Arizonans know we need more secure borders and an accountable, sensible immigration system. Americans deserve honest conversations about such issues as family immigration; international trade; worker programs and employer verification systems; border barriers, security technology and staffing; and how to properly, compassionately address refugees and asylum seekers. Instead, political games are being played with real people’s lives. Washington can’t seem to find a way to solve problems without either getting bogged down in strict ideology — look no further than protecting our democracy from Russian interference — or favoring its BD10904 2x3 9_27-28 Bridge Community Church.indd 1 9/20/18 special interest culture. Many of these issues aren’t easily solved, but Washington’s gridlock means a lack of progress. It’s time for a change. Fortunately, we have the power to be the change we seek. We can’t change the way Congress works by electWhat’s a treat for your ing the same sort of people who are already there body and no — career politicians too cozy with special interests trick to fix? or blindly following the directions of party leadership. Change must happen across the board, including changing the leadership of both parties. That’s why I would support new Democratic leadership. I’m not a career politician. My job — as a physician and often as a mom — has been listening to people, diagnosing the issue, then using team work to solve the problem. The Hippocratic Oath I swore — “do no harm” — is something those in Congress ought to live by, as well. It’s time for a change in Washington, and that starts ® www.hickmanseggs.com with electing representatives who are beholden only to ® © 2018, Hickman's Family Farms facebook.com/hickmanseggs their constituents, truly putting people before politics.

Man looks to save golf course with new program BY DARRELL JACKSON Staff Writer As groups fight to save Glen Lakes Golf Course from possible closure, Tom Loegering may have an ideal plan to encourage the city to keep it open. In 2014, Loegering, who is part owner and CEO of Sun City Country Club, started a nonprofit organization called Golf Program in Schools (GPS), which introduces the game of golf and life lessons learned through golf in public schools.

Golf program in schools

GPS partners with schools, communities and golf professionals to introduce students to the game of golf. The program emphasizes the life skills students need to help them find the right path in life and the goals are embedded in the curriculum and lessons. “My goal is to grow the GPS program in all the schools in the West Valley,” Loegering said. “This program has introduced over 16,000 kids to golf, and our goal is to introduce 10,000 per year to the sport and grow the sport.” Sun City Country Club is home to the GPS program, but Loegering has introduced his idea to city officials in hopes of saving Glen Lakes Golf Course. The program, which is incorporated in eight school districts in the Valley, including Peoria Unified School District and Glendale Union High School District, is part of the physical education curriculum. Loegering spends four days, with a fifth day an optional field trip to Sun City Country Club to play, introducing the game to nearly 600 students per week. “I (was at Apollo High School) recently, and in two weeks, we had 600 kids per week learn the lessons of golf,” Loegering said. “You can’t teach the game of golf in a week, but I can give you the basics and learn what

kind of person you can be.” Students also learn awareness of careers and opportunities within the golf industry, including college scholarships, and valuable life lessons emphasized through golf rules and etiquette, including honesty, judgment, respect and courtesy. “There is a reason people in the highest economic demographic play golf even though they are busy,” Loegering said. “They take four hours out of their day to play

and I have been told they can learn if people have anger issues, are honest, read rules and follow them and they can tell if those people could fit into their company.” He added that the response from the schools has been so overwhelming, he has been working harder to get the nonprofit more self-sustainable. “If a private company ran this program, it would

The Glendale Star may love the sport or hate the sport, which he is fine with, but believes the lessons from the sport, even if only for a couple of days, would be immeasurable. “Right now, we are doing 10,000 a year and we will do that this year and am looking for golf talking people who want to help grow the game, but there is not an entry point for kids to get into golf,” Loegering said. “With my program, we can get the lessons of the sport into your lower so-

about Glen Lakes and I met with city officials about bringing GPS to the course,” Loegering said. The city also owns the nine-hole course Desert Mirage, par 62, near 83rd and Maryland avenues, and while the courses are fewer than six miles apart, Desert Mirage has been successful with little assistance from the city. “When it comes to Glen Lakes, the original request for proposal (RFP) to run the course nearly 10 years ago, I attended every meeting and was interested in bidding,” Loegering said. “After reading the RFP, it was designed not to work because all the protection was on the city and there was no compromise for the manager. The only way I could have made money was to cheat and I just am not that type of businessman.” Hundreds of residents around the course have been rallying to let city officials know they want the course to remain a golf course, including a signing a petition, along with a group of volunteers who recently spent a weekend painting new driving range yard markers and curbs and cleaning around the course. “We are making the most of Glen Lakes and when we found the GPS program, we thought it would be a perfect fit for it,” Bachmann said “We believe that if this program was instilled at Glen Lakes, it would help the course become self-sustaining in a short period of time.” Loegering said the city

October 4, 2018 needs to partner with a manager who can rebuild the course and instill a love of the sport and get the course back up to playing standards. “A public-private partnership is what is needed that doesn’t tie a manager’s hands in running the course,” Loegering said. “Everything right now is on the manager’s shoulders and there is no liability to the city. Everything in the contract is on the manager and there is no compromise and the course right now is not in the best shape. I am not being anti-city, I understand they are trying to do the best they can, but they are doing it from a legal side and it needs to be a 50-50 partnership.” City Manager Kevin Phelps said while Loegering discussed his plan with Assistant City Manager Tom Duensing, no offer to purchase the course has come in from Loegering or anyone else. “(Duensing) met with him and he discussed his (GPS) program, but there was no offer made on the course,” Phelps said. “He expressed interest in the course if we decided to sell the course, but no official offer was presented.” Phelps added that at an October workshop, councilmembers will be presented with what the cost and operational and performance numbers needed to get to so the course would be able to sustain itself. “We will lay out in the workshop everything and also present options of if we decided not to maintain it as a golf course, as well

as all options for the land,” Phelps said. Loegering said while he understands the city’s desire to turn a profit on the course, he believes the history should add a little extra when it comes to a decision. “I have talked to (Glendale Union High School District Superintendent Brian) Capistran about the history of Glen Lakes and he told me that he played there as a kid,” Loegering said. “Show me another city that has the kind of history and they want to throw all that history under the bus and get rid of that. That to me, to have one of your kids in the community grow and then lead the schools, which just doesn’t make sense.” Loegering said that while there is a lot of work that needs to be done at Glen Lakes, he believes he can turn it around if the city would accept his idea of a three- to five-year plan to make the course selfsustainable, although he would not make any guarantees, but he offers an example of his success. “To make it work, I would sit down with the city and have a master plan because it is going to take three to five years to get it done,” Loegering said. “Nobody can guarantee the city a profit and if you did, you would be lying. Since GPS started here at Sun City, rounds have increased in a year from 1,072 (August 2017) to 2,276 (August 2018) and I am saying at least half of that increase is because of the GPS program.”

Flu season has begun

“CARING”

Medical professionals recommend vaccine by end of October By Cary Hines AssistAnt Editor Dr. Lavont Cooper at FastMed Urgent Care in Glendale can’t stress enough the importance of getting a flu shot. “A lot of people are afraid to bring in their kids that are 6 months because they’re feeling that this is a foreign body that’s being put in their child’s body; however, less than 5 years old really needs it,” Cooper said. “And of course, the 65-and-older and high-risk population really need to get in this month because it’s Oct. 1 already.” Flu season is most active from October to February, but can run even later, Cooper said. “It’s best to get a flu vaccination this month, because December, and up to February, and sometimes even in May, people get the flu, so it’s really important to do it now,” Cooper said. FastMed received its stockpile of the vaccine

about a month ago, he said. The vaccine isn’t 100 percent effective at preventing the flu, but “about 90 percent of people who don’t get the flu shot end up with symptoms, and about 50 percent who do get the flu shot don’t have the symptoms,” Cooper said, adding the medical community saw an increase in deaths last year of people who did not get the flu shot. The Centers for Disease

Control classified 2017-18 a high severity season, according to www.cdc.gov. While estimates for last season aren’t yet available, the CDC estimates it to be record-breaking in hospitalizations and deaths. “It’s not possible to predict how severe the upcoming season will be, but we know that the best way to prevent flu and its potentially serious complications is a flu vaccine,” the website states. “It’s best to get vaccinated before flu begins spreading in your community. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for your body to develop protection against flu. This flu season, protect yourself, your family, your friends, and your community. Get a flu vaccine by the end of October.” The most common side effects from a flu shot are soreness, redness and/or swelling where the shot was given, fever, and/or muscle aches, the CDC website states, adding

developing a pavement management plan to bring our city’s pavement up to acceptable standards, working with our Public Works team and Economic Development team to bring businesses into Glendale after the recession and being a small part of the many capital projects that has enhanced the city’s opportunity for economic growth,” Friedline said. Duensing was quick to point to the success Friedline had in assisting with city business. “(Friedline) brought not only more than four decades of technical expertise, he brought valuable leadership abilities,” Duensing said. “His calm, confident demeanor allowed him to effectively communicate and positively impact this organization, and he treated everyone with respect and earned the utmost respect of not only his colleagues but of our city council.” Duensing added that he will miss the personal relationship he had with Friedline. “When you work with someone each day, a sense of unified purpose develops. I will miss the problem-solving discussions we had, and how we were able to come to resolution on the many difficult issues,” Duensing said. “I will also miss the lighter side of (Friedline) who always was able to bring a laugh even when we were under pressure. Although he was extremely hard

working and he seemed to understand that work is only one part of life. I feel if any employee understands this sense of balance, they are a more productive, stable workforce.” Friedline served in public service for more than 40 years — including 18 years with the City of Mesa, five of which were spent serving as Mesa’s deputy city manager. He also worked with the cities of Phoenix, Goodyear, and Buffalo, N.Y., holding positions as public works commissioner, public works director, assistant public works director and other public agency managerial roles. Friedline holds a master’s degree in public administration from Arizona State University and a bachelor’s degree in urban and regional planning from Buffalo State University. He added he will miss his time with Glendale and helping turn the city around. “It’s been an extremely rewarding tenure for me. The Glendale city staff, throughout the entire organization are rock stars and our City Council has been extremely effective in working with staff to make Glendale a better place to work, live and play,” Friedline said. “In addition, I thank Kevin Phelps, our city manager, for his leadership, innovation and support since he has held the reins of this great organization since February 2016.”

Community celebrates Vietnamese Children’s Moon Festival Day Gov. Doug Ducey signed a proclamation Sept. 24, proclaiming the day, which is the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, as Vietnamese Children’s Moon Festival Day. The Vietnamese community of Arizona celebrated the festival Sept. 29 at Murphy Park in downtown Glendale. Kevin Dang of the Vietnamese Community of Arizona said, “As the president of the Vietnamese Community of Arizona, I would like to thank our Gov. Douglas Ducey for the proclamation and recognition of the Vietnamese Children’s Moon Festival, a Vietnamese traditional culture that is welcomed and embraced by residents of Glendale and Arizona.”

Don’t blame evictions on the court

Sept. 16, Arizona Republic, front page headlines; you might have seen the large article, headlines and full color pictures of Judge Huberman and Judge Watts. I believe the article was very unfair to our courts. The article says, “The walls were lined with litigants in the courtroom, not knowing they would lose.” That sounds like the court is unfair and biased. Ninety percent of all eviction cases are “Did you pay the rent?” Ninety percent of the defenses are “I do not have the money.” It is the law and your lease that set down the conditions. Does it break your heart to evict 100 people before lunch? Yes. Does it bother you to know

LESSONS FROM THE BENCH

Quentin Tolby Retired Judge many of these people will be sleeping on the streets? Yes. Does it bother me more when kids are involved? Yes. But the law does not say the court can order the landlord to give these people free rent or give them more than five days to vacate. No. If the Legislature wants to change the law, the courts will follow the new law. Don’t beat up on the courts for following

the lease and the law. If you want to have 30 days to pay the rent, then ask the landlord to write it into the lease. Don’t sign a lease with a five-day grace period and then complain you only had five days. Don’t complain about late fees if you signed a lease with late fees in it. The article in the paper said the court only took three minutes to evict someone. Yes. Once the defendants say they did not pay the rent, there is nothing else to talk about. When you have a courtroom full of people, you do not have time to listen to their stories about losing their job or using the money to pay doctors’ bills. Yes it is sad, but what can the court do about it? When you sign a lease that says you have a five-day

grace period and the law says you have five days to get out, don’t blame the court. The Legislature could pass new laws to make it harder and take more time to evict someone. But that would make the landlords more picky on who they rent to and raise the rent to cover the lost rent during the eviction process. Lesson: There is no way to sugar coat an eviction.

to this, but we also need to make sure if I am a business owner and I build a building and then a dispensary comes along, I may not be able to open my business.” Development Services Director Sam McAllen said staff would research the councilmembers’ questions and the ordinance would be brought back to a future workshop for review before a final vote is taken. “Staff will work with the city attorney’s office and bring this back to a workshop for council to review and make any requested changed to the ordinance,” McAllen said. Bailey was quick to add that what would be brought to council next would not be an actual ordinance. “What would be brought to council would not be definitive definitions but options for definitions that could be definable for the city to consider,” Bailey said. “Today, we just want to make sure everyone is comfortable with this as we move forward.” Council gave staff consensus to continue researching, and the ordinance would be brought back to a future workshop for discussion.

MARIJUANA: Concerns about in-house day care, From 1 up to and including high school. “I generally support this, but I wonder about two things. Are there any state issues that prohibit us from moving forward on this and when we talk about schools, is there a state definition of schools?” Yucca District Councilmember Joyce Clark asked. “Because I wonder about online schools and there are some that have physical campuses in the city and how this would affect those.” City Attorney Michael Bailey said that in the past, the city has been more lenient on provisions. “We are generally less restrictive than the state provisions,” Bailey said. “We have had less restrictions and with online schools, the physical centers of them, I believe, have to have administrative offices, but we will go with the state definition that we need to research.” Ocotillo District Councilmember Jamie Aldama wondered about in-house day care centers and how it would affect schools that were presently within the 1,320-foot distance. “There are several state-certified day care centers that are run out of homes that we need to make sure this will not affect,” Aldama said. “I am open

Goin’ Local: The Hop Stop Diner “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

—Maya Angelou

Andrea Shobe treasures her Arizona roots. She was born and raised in the Valley. The youngest of four daughters, Shobe attended Cortez High School and Grand Canyon University. Her roots run deep in Glendale. She always loved visiting the historic downtown and several of her family members have owned businesses in the area. Andrea met her husband, Doug, while both were students at Cortez High. The high school sweethearts are celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary this year. After college, Shobe became a first-grade teacher. She enjoyed working with children and valued the importance of

education. When she became a mother to Brooke and Cody, By LORRAINE ZOMOK Shobe said it was important for her to be home with her children. Shobe is filled with energy and enthusiasm. She is goalsdriven and is always ready to take the next step. Shobe said she might not know what is at the top of the steps, but she never gives up. With their two small children at home, The Shobes built a family-owned construction business. Shobe grew the business from one employee to nearly 50 on staff. After a few years, when the housing industry took a hit, Shobe looked to her next step and downtown Glendale called. Her daughter never liked a traditional birthday cake, so Shobe designed a special recipe cake made from crisped rice

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION AND HEART VALVE DISEASE FREE PATIENT EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR Divya Verma, MD

Structural Heart Cardiologist

“The New Era of Minimally Invasive cardiac interventions for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Valve Diseases”

Atrial Fibrillation or AFIB is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart related complications. At least 2.7 million Americans are living with AFIB. Patients with AFIB are normally treated by a cardiologist. Stroke is at least 5 times more likely to occur in patients with atrial ﬁbrillation. Treatments to reduce stroke risk, usually blood thinners, can require close monitoring and carry signiﬁcant risk of bleeding. The left atrial appendage is the portion of the heart where more than 90% of stroke causing clots form. The Watchman™ left atrial appendage closure device is an implant designed to close the left atrial appendage, trapping potential stroke causing clots and, thus, potentially alleviating the future need for blood thinners. Heart valve disease occurs when the heart valves do not work the way they should.

cereal. Those delicious birthday treats blossomed into her first downtown business. Shobe worked on a solid business plan, bought a building in downtown Glendale and opened her first shop, Krispy Creations, in 2012. The shop featured a variety of cakes and treats made from crisped rice cereal along with a collection of gift items. But it wasn’t long before Shobe was ready to grow her business. Her sister collected Coca-Cola products and that collection inspired the next step in Shobe’s journey. The Hop Stop Diner opened in 2014. The 1950s-inspired diner is “happiness on a plate.” The cheerful setting features Coca-Cola décor, a polka dot awning and Betty Boop front and center as customers enter the restaurant. The menu is filled with delicious options — all from Shobe’s kitchen. Customer favorites include the turkey avocado sandwich grilled on a signature parmesan butter sourdough bread and the chicken salad served on homemade molasses bread. The portions are huge and most times, I take a box home. Customers will want to save room for the freshbaked daily desserts. Sweet favorites include the banana bread and peach cobbler. Shobe said she loves being a part of the downtown Glendale community. She said each business is a part of the puzzle that makes the area so special. She values the friendships with her business neighbors. Shobe wants her customers to feel at home in her restaurant. Most days, you will see her father, Oscar, who helps with the day-to-day operations. Shobe said she loves talking and sharing stories with her customers, who have quickly become friends. Make plans to stop by soon for a hearty and delicious meal. Shobe will quickly make you feel like family in her home-inspired Hop Stop Diner. The Hop Stop Diner is at 7013 N. 58th Ave., in Historic Downtown Glendale. For more information, call 623-915-0100 or visit www.hopstopdiner.com. Restaurant hours are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.

in violation of the Sabbath. “In the fifth movement of ‘Symphony Fantastique,’ you’ll hear how Berlioz used orchestra instruments to tell a story of the ‘Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath.’ Listen for strange noises that sound like groans, the clarinet sounding like witches mocking the main character, and high-registered descending staccato violins sounding like laughter. This concert is a great warm-up to the Halloween season.” North Valley Youth Orchestra, conducted by Josh Lynch, will introduce its season at the concert by taking the stage for a short time to perform Elfman’s “This is Halloween,” arranged by Kazik. Ticket prices are $5 each concert or $15 for a season pass that includes all four concerts.
