Recycling ‘a huge problem’ for city BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Recycling, while important to Glendale city officials, has become increasingly difficult economically. Mayor Jerry Weiers called recycling “a huge problem” at a recent workshop. Glendale’s Director of Field Operations, Michelle Woytenko, gave a Jan. 14 presentation to the city council on recycling. The presentation came as a result of the city considering changes or the complete stoppage of its recycling program altogether, as directed in a December meeting by the council. Since starting its program in 2000, recycling has become more cost-inefficient. Recycling costs Glendale about $1 million per year, according to staff reports. The process will include an economic analysis of the recycling program, out-

Two adult males, ages 18 and 26, were shot and both were transported to the hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The suspect was not found, police said. There was no suspect information. Ten minutes later and less than 3 miles away, three men were shot at 6817 N. 63rd Avenue. Glendale resident Jose Ayala, 51, died at the scene. His son Louis Ayala, 19, also was found with a gunshot wound. He was transported to a hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening.

Police say Robert Mahoney, 58, of Scottsdale, shot the two before shooting himself. “Mahoney was known to Ayala due to previous business dealings and it is believed at this point those relationships were the motive for the homicide,” according to a police statement. Just after 6 p.m. Saturday, Watkins, 53, was shot and killed in the alley behind his downtown Glendale business. O’Neill said an Investigation revealed the suspect, who was known to the victim and

Within 24 hours, six people were shot in three unrelated shootings in or near downtown Glendale. Three died, including Ray Watkins, co-owner of the Astrology Store. One suspect remains at large, said Jay O’Neill of the Glendale Police Department. A second suspect is in custody. A third suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot. The first shooting was at 7:14 p.m. Friday, Jan. 24, at 4748 W. Sierra Vista Drive.

Big week on the impeachment front for Lesko BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Though she insists she is enraged by the Democrat-led impeachment of President Donald Trump, the process has been a publicity boon for Rep. Debbie Lesko, the Republican who represents District 8. Last week was a huge one for Lesko. It started Monday, Jan. 20, when Lesko received a call from the White House. She learned she was one of eight members of Congress selected for Trump’s impeachment defense team. (The others were Reps. Jim Jordan, John Ratcliffe, Mike Johnson, Mark Meadows, Lee Zeldin, Elise Stefanik and Doug Collins.) “I’m very honored,” Lesko said, from her Surprise office. Friday afternoon, she appeared calm and relaxed, laughing frequently as she reflected on a strange, busy week. “My life is a little surreal,” she said with a chuckle.

The Trump impeachment has been a publicity boom for Debbie Lesko. She is shown here preparing for an appearance on “Hannity,” the most-watched cable news show. (Photo courtesy Debbie Lesko)

On Jan. 22, Lesko appeared on “Hannity,” which has been the most-watched show on cable news. Lesko’s 90-year-old mother, who lives in Youngtown, was not one of the 4 million viewers. “She doesn’t have cable,” Lesko said, again laughing. “She’s frugal.” Her mother missed Sean Hannity’s

introduction: “Joining us now, two members of president’s legal team, New York Congressman Lee Zeldin and Arizona Congresswoman Debbie Lesko.” Lesko was thus served up to offer her commentary about the beginning of the Senate impeachment trial. “Watching this today is just like reliving the nightmare in the House,” she said. “I just can’t believe the audacity of these Democrats. The way they lie and carry on, the hypocrisy is beyond belief.” Lekso was also on “CBS Evening News,” another national TV show, Monday, Jan. 27. (Her mother may have seen that, as CBS doesn’t require cable.) Lesko summarized the whole process, from the House to the Senate, as a “political hit job. That’s all it is. It’s disgusting. Quite frankly, sickening.” Lesko was in a Phoenix production studio for “Hannity” and her same-day appearance on “Fox News at Night,” when she was interviewed by Shannon Bream.

Lesko aggressively defended Trump for months. Her appearances on national TV led to many giving her praise — and others using foul language to describe how they feel about her. After her “Hannity” appearance, Twitter user Jlane03323668 stated, “Debbie Lesko said it exactly right! Thank you for fighting for Americans.” Cher47, on the other hand, put Lesko on her “who to get out of office this year” list. And Barry Winters (@AZsilvertip) proclaimed, “Lesko is an intellectual twit. I have to suffer her uselessness as I live in the district she claims to represent. She doesn’t and has produced not to benefit anybody. A brain dead Trump sycophant.” Lesko said she avoids the electronic free-for-all. “I don’t look at the comments on Facebook and Twitter,” she said. “I don’t have the time. “And it’s not good for the soul.” SEE LESKO PAGE 5

dale and throughout the West Valley were transported out of the country in large quantities, especially to China. However, the Chinese have made drastic changes to their collection of items like newspaper. Recently, the country stopped allowing many recyclables due to contamination of materials, as they want the items to be nearly perfectly clean. Glendale does not only recycle its residents’ materials either. It also takes in recyclables from Peoria, Goodyear and Avondale and swaps some recyclables with Phoenix, according to Woytenko. The analysis portion will include a review of the exact cost of recycling to Glendale. Woytenko and her staff will look at what other cities across Arizona and the United States are doing to successfully operate recycling programs at a reasonable cost. Glendale already has stopped recycling on plastics labeled with the recycling logo and numbers 3-7, and will possibly consider more changes in the future.

“What do we have to do to fix recycling if we choose to stay with recycling? So we’re looking at what commodities we take in, how would we market them, and should we actually be recycling,” she asked. Education was an aspect Councilman Jamie Aldama focused on in the meeting. He said other cities are recycling to appease people, but their citizens do not know the true cost. “If we continue to recycle and there’s a dollar amount it’s costing us, and we’re checking that box, that our citizens know we’re doing this and making our footprint smaller, but it’s costing you money,” Aldama said. Council agreed to add another 100 hours of staff time to the project, which was already scheduled to take an estimated 320-340 hours to complete. As of now, the future of recycling in Glendale is in flux and Mayor Jerry Weiers is interested in what solutions recycling staff can come up. “It’s a huge problem that has to be dealt with,” Weiers said.

Recycling for area residents has become more complicated than simply throwing materials into the bin and rolling it curbside with little thought. With recent sanctions on recyclable materials and ever-changing rules and regulations on what can be reused and sold to manufacturers, cities in the West Valley have had to change their own procedures and spend more time educating the public. Materials are taken from the homes of recyclers, brought to a material recovery facility, or MRF, then sorted by conveyor belt. Workers sift through the potentially recyclable materials and dispose of contaminated items or otherwise non-acceptable. The non-recyclables are transported to landfills with other solid waste from regular garbage pickup, while the recyclables are baled and transported to manufacturers. In years past, recyclables were transported out of the country in large portions, especially to China. However, the Chinese have made drastic changes to their collection of items like newspaper. Recently, the country stopped allowing many recyclables due to contamination of materials, as they want the items to be nearly perfectly clean. “We became so used to throwing everything in the recycle bin it just started having too many contaminants, so now China has made these changes it’s changed everything on our end,” said Goodyear Solid Waste Superintendent Adam Kurtz. Phoenix, which has not changed its $26.80 monthly rate in several years, will need to make changes to deal with new costs and demands, according to a recent city council report. The city is looking at options from maintaining current service except raising rates or eliminating recycling. The city of Surprise suspended its recycling program in August, moving all materials that would have once been recycled to landfill due to rising costs. Glendale is also considering changes to its recycling program, which costs the city $1 million per year. Other cities are looking for new buyers.

“Contamination was overlooked for many years because China overlooked it,” said Peoria Public Works Director Kevin Burke. And, while there are no scheduled changes, the cities in the area are looking at potentially making them. “There’s not a lot of facilities coming to the table to make our domestic market more aggressive, to bring more re-

cyclables here in the states. All the places we once had outlets, are closing their ports to us, so we’ll have to see what happens,” said Ruiz. “It may get to a point where we have to bring our concerns to the city, and then we’ll have some choices to make about costs or what services can be provided.” SEE RECYCLING II PAGE 4

At the MRF, the materials are sorted by machines by material type, alongside workers sifting through the items. Kurtz said often people organize their recyclables in plastic bags. However, those often get stuck in the machines and cause delays or functional issues. Kurtz called bagged recyclables the “number one problem” for Goodyear recycling. “People mean well by bagging their recyclables. The problem with this is when it’s picked up it’s causing issues with conveyor belts. Nine times out of ten if they see it bagged, they’ll end up throwing it out instead,” Kurtz said. Fees and what is accepted for recycling varies widely around the West Valley. Monthly charges and policies, from city websites:

What To Do When Your Back Pain Has Not Gone Away… By Leading Physical Therapist, Nick Hunter Many of my patients who experience low back pain tell me that, initially, they thought it was only a minor issue but as it worsened over time, they had no clue what was still causing them suffer. Unfortunately, people often suffer much longer than they should because of this confusion. Statistics show that at least 8 out of 10 people will suffer from a bad back during their lifetime. Chances are, if you’ve suffered from low back pain for longer than 17 days, it simply isn’t going to go away on its own. Seeking help from a physical therapist (instead of resting and taking pain killers) will give you the permanent relief that is needed. Will you choose to suffer needlessly and risk greater injury because you won’t ask for help? As you are probably aware, muscle and strength loss is a normal progression of aging. As we reach the age of 40 (and especially above), the strong lower back that we had when we were younger just isn’t the same anymore. But seeking help immediately will guarantee that the pain will cease quickly, so you don’t have to suffer for years to come. Are you willing to continue to cope with back pain that stops you from making memories with your loved-ones or participating in your favorite activities? OR… Will you choose to take action NOW and start living your life free of pain?

Burke urged recyclers to follow the rules as closely as possible. “We want people to keep it simple, don’t get creative,” he said. Recycling in the West Valley is not completely restricted to the curbside pickup cities provide, either. There are other options for second, third, or further uses of the materials people want to rid from their homes. Glendale Field Operations Director Michelle Woytenko encouraged residents to look into secondhand stores like Goodwill, Salvation Army or others and to figure out other creative ways to make use of resources that would not be acceptable in the city’s MRF. “If you’ve got furniture, you’ve got clothing that’s still got some use to it, look at those nonprofits, look at those ways you can recycle as well, just not in our program,” Woytenko said. Each city has its own recycling policy for residential pickup, and the local governments have pages on their respective websites listing the “do’s and don’ts” of local recycling. And, while the officials hope their residents are aware of the rules affecting them, several understand they need to make an improved effort in making themselves and recycling rules more accessible. “As we continue to grow, education is going to be key to continue to ensure residents understand the program. When they’re moving here, we want to make it so they’re getting the right information, and then when they have questions, making it easier for them to find it,” said Kurtz. “Most homeowners have good intentions and want to do things correctly,” Burke said. “So the more education we can give people, the better they are going to be with it, and the better productivity we can have.”

After shooting Watkins, the suspect then returned to the front of the business and broke through the glass front door. A male employee inside hid, and the suspect eventually fled on foot as Glendale Police Officers arrived,” said O’Neill. Sean Davidson, 21, of Glendale, was identified as the suspect. The Arizona Department of Public Safety alerted the Glendale Police they had Davidson in custody following a pursuit. “While the investigation is still on-going, Davidson made statements implicating himself in the homicide and

Glendale looking to continue annexations BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Glendale is growing. While Buckeye, Goodyear and other cities around the West Valley are growing internally, through new housing developments adding thousands to populations, Glendale is expanding its boundaries. Multiple annexations of former unincorporated Maricopa County land is pushing Glendale west, near Luke Air Force Base and the Loop 303. Again in contrast to other cities growing population, these annexations focus on industrial/commercial development. Some of the notable annexations, from the information provided by Lisa Collins, the city’s planning administrator: The West 303 development is 76 acres at the northeast corner of Sarival and Maryland avenues. The developer, Hunter Engineering,

plans 1.2 million square feet of industrial space. At the Jan. 14 council meeting, several Litchfield Park residents voiced their opposition to the annexation. City council was to vote on annex-

ation and zoning of the land Tuesday, Jan. 28. The Barclay Group development is 96 acres at the southwest corner of Loop 303 and Glendale Avenue. Developer: Barclay Group plans

more than 1 million square feet of industrial and commercial buildings “with potential office retail.” City Council was to vote on the annexation at its Tuesday meeting. “The current county zoning allows the uses being proposed, therefore a rezoning of the land once in the city of Glendale will not be needed,” Collins noted. Cotton Properties is 161 acres on the west side of the Loop 303 freeway, between Glendale Avenue and Bethany Home Road. Developer Land Advisors plans industrial, commercial and retail development. The rezoning request will be brought forward to council once the annexation is completed, Collins said. At the Jan. 14 council meeting, three Waddell residents spoke against the Cotton Properties proposed annexation.

Glendale looks at a new city budget

The Glendale Star

BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Glendale was to begin its annual budget process this week, with a study session Tuesday, Jan. 28. In the 2020-21 fiscal year, which starts July 1, the city expects to spend some $230 million in its General Fund, with a beginning fund balance of nearly $48 million. This is quite a dramatic turnaround over the last five years when Glendale teetered on bankruptcy. However, General Fund expenditures are expected to rise to nearly $245 million in the next four years, which will make city council’s goal of a $50 million surplus a challenge. Glendale Police Department expenses, for example, are expected to rise from $92 million last year to $96 million. Glendale Fire Department expenses are expected to rise from $45 million to $48 million. Police and fire department expenses are about 65% of the total General Fund spending. City sales tax is projected to rise from $111 million last fiscal year to nearly $118 million this year. The city of Glendale named Lisette Camacho its new budget and finance director at the end of 2019. Camacho had been interim director since May. Camacho and Vicki Rios, the assistant city manager, will lead the budget workshop. “Glendale is developing very quickly and there are a lot of projects happening,” Camacho said. “I don’t see it as a challenge, more of an excitement,

managing project.” She reiterated the city’s goals: “Short term, it’s getting the budget approved and meeting the $50 million fund balance. We want to put more money into our streets, parks - capital improvement is very important to our city council.” Camacho said the city’s funds should be boosted by “one-time revenues for sale of assets. We are selling Glen Lakes (Golf Course), the Bank of America building, those one-time revenues we didn’t include in the forecast.” Added to the sale of a parking lot near State Farm Stadium last year, the sales total around $15 million, Camacho said.

ANNEX FROM PAGE 6

Robert Weedman said nearby residents had “no idea” the annexation and rezoning was taking place. Jennifer Bloomberg and Marcia Ford said they were concerned about increased traffic and the negative impact the development would have on the community. The Coopperwing Logistics development is 6 acres near the northwest corner of Dysart Road and Northern

Parkway. Developer John F. Long is hoping the city will annex a county remnant parcel, then “de-annexing both the newly annexed land and the city’s strip annex into the city of El Mirage to combine with a large parcel currently in El Mirage.” Glendale City Council was to vote on the annexation Tuesday, with a de-annexation vote at a later date.

Glendale Star Managing Editor

After tabling the issue at its Jan. 14, then giving it further study at a Jan. 21 special meeting, the Deer Valley Unified School District governing board was scheduled to vote on new high school boundaries Tuesday, Jan. 28. (The Tuesday meeting took place after Glendale Star’s print deadlines.) Several from Arrowhead Ranch in north Glendale are not happy about the expected changes. Thomas Cramer, president of Arrowhead Ranch Phase One Homeowners Association, sent a letter to the DVUSD board Jan. 24. (A copy of the letter was forwarded to the Glendale Star.) “The directors and homeowners of Arrowhead Ranch Phase One wish to express their strong opposition to the redistricting of the school boundaries which would cause our High School students to attend Deer Valley instead of Mountain Ridge High School,” Cramer wrote. “Arrowhead Ranch opened Mountain Ridge and helped make it an A+ school. Our homeowners/parents have

chosen our neighborhood based on it being in the Mountain Ridge boundary and to change it after 25 years should not be an option. “Shifting our kids to a much lower-performing school is unacceptable.” The HOA president noted Mountain Ridge High School is rated the No. 48 school in Arizona, nearly 100 places higher than Deer Valley High. “Our 1,530 homeowners and their families are in overwhelming opposition to this proposed move and would like the board to consider a different option,” Cramer wrote. The district’s Jan. 21 presentation stated the high school boundary changes are necessary to “provide for a sustainable balanced projected enrollment over all five high school campuses,” and “delay the need for a high school number six.” Vocal opposition from Arrowhead Ranch at several meetings apparently delayed the decisions. “The high school boundary decision was tabled on Jan. 14, to be able to provide more information to our governing board and to allow more input from

the community,” said Jim Migliorino, deputy superintendent of DVUSD’s Fiscal and Business Services. However, when asked if any modifications to the proposed changes were made since Jan 14, Migliorino said: “No changes have been made to what was proposed.” The Jan. 21 study session included this information on the slide “Proposed High School Boundary Changes”: Deer Valley High School • Increase attendance area on western boundary. Mountain Ridge High School • Increase attendance area on northern boundary. • Decrease attendance area on southern boundary. On its website, the district noted, “Current open-enrolled students in high school will not need to reapply to continue attending their current high school. “In addition, all current high school students will be allowed to continue at

the high school where they are currently attending.” More detail was provided at the Jan. 21 study session: “High school boundary changes will be effective for the 2020-21 school year, allowing current attending students to continue at their current (2019-20) designated high school through graduation as well as 2019-20 eighth-graders and their siblings to be able to continue at their current (2019-20) designated high school through graduation, per a Transitional Plan to be developed and approved by the superintendent. “Transportation services will be provided for these students until June of 2022.” The presentation stressed, though they may be difficult, the changes are necessary. “Transition to new school attendance areas, while necessary, is never easy. Encouraging social/scholastic continuity, providing students with un-crowded facilities and exercising fiscal responsibility are competing but essential goals.”

Speak Up, Stand Up takes on suicide, bullying prevention BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Glendale Star Staff Writer

Carmina Gregorio’s passion for helping people developed from a troublesome time in her life. “I’ve always had a passion for helping people because I wish someone had helped me when I was little,” Gregorio said. The West Point High School student said she is determined to learn the skills necessary to help her peers and attended the Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life conference for a third year. The spirited event offers students a chance to hear from speakers and their peers on suicide prevention. This year’s event was held Wednesday, Jan. 21, at Grand Canyon University. More than 4,500 students from 157 schools and 54 school districts in the West Valley and beyond flooded the auditorium with purple and yellow T-shirts in support of the cause. United Healthcare Community Planning sponsored the event. Its CEO, Joe

Gaudio, said the event is meant to improve the well-being of the community. “Our mission is to help people live happier lives and help make the health system work better for everyone,”

Gaudio said. “We’ve gathered over 4,000 kids here at Grand Canyon University to help them be more aware of the warning signs due to suicide. Not only in themselves, but also in others.” Gaudio said youth suicide is a prev-

alent issue in the state of Arizona and one on the rise. He said the suicide rate is up 25% in Arizona. He said mental health can be a challenge for many students. “These kids face so many challenges today trying to basically live a life,” Gaudio said. “It’s an issue and if we can get other kids to help identify those warning signs and reach out to other kids, we believe we can make a difference.” One of the biggest misconceptions Gaudio sees when it comes to students who struggle with suicide is the parents never believe it could happen to their kids. “Kids have built up such defense mechanisms and such strong walls you can’t recognize the signs until it has become too late and they do harm themselves or they do harm to others,” Gaudio said. Gaudio said the conference is unique in it has multiple workshops where SEE SPEAK UP PAGE 10

young students hear from their peers rather than from adults only, which helps them build rapport and trust, the latter of which, Gaudio said, is one of the most challenging. “The challenge is trying to convince the children there are trusted caring adults out there,” Gaudio said. “Kids by nature, particularly a child who is dealing with a lot of anxiety and adverse childhood experiences, they have a hard time trusting adults.”

Gregorio, 16, was someone who struggled with trust. Today, Gregorio belongs to many different clubs at her school, putting

her in the position to help others. She is an Avondale youth advisor counselor and does community service for veterans. But she said there was a time when she lacked confidence. Mostly, due to bullying. Gregorio was born in Guatemala but moved to America when she was a kid and the only thing she wanted was to fit in with the rest. “Everyone was skinny, I was chubby, and I didn’t feel secure about myself; I didn’t feel like I was likable,” Gregorio said. “And coming from a different country, you want to fit in.” She said she tried getting help from the school, but the institution didn’t believe it was a “big deal.” Gregorio said the bullying, ultimately, pushed her to be a better person and overcame her challenges as she grew older. When she was 12, her counselor suggested she should attend the conference where she was immediately inspired by the work taking place. “It was so emotional,” Gregorio said. “They actually put passion into what they were doing. You’re listening to what they’re saying and realize people go through that and people feel like that. It’s a big deal” Gregorio said she wants her peers to know their story can never be too small, and they should always be heard. “It doesn’t matter what type of bullying it is. Bullying is bullying,” Gregorio said. “It makes you feel bad.” In addition to hearing from local and national speakers like Jeremy Anderson, the attendees got the opportunity to watch a one-act play brought by the UBU Project, which focuses on suicide prevention, drug prevention and anti-bullying through arts integration like songwriting and theatre. Speak Up, Stand Up founder David Simmons, brother of actor J.K. Simmons, is a director and producer who is no stranger to challenges like suicide. “I’m a thriving survivor of my own

January 30, 2020 suicide attempt on March 21, 2009,” Simmons said. “I’m also a recovering alcoholic with 27 years in the program and I was the fat kid who got bullied in school.” A play presented consisted of a group of teenagers discussing their lives and their experiences. All of which happened to someone in real life, Simmons said. “Today’s play was shining a light on the darker corners of what kids are going through today,” Simmons said. “I intentionally didn’t provide any sweet, easy answers because there aren’t any.” Simmons said the power of the conference is in spreading the message. “If there are 4,500 kids here, we dropped 4,500 pebbles in the pond and the ripple effects,” Simmons said. “You have no idea how many of these kids are struggling.” As the conference grows, GCU is glad to continue to be a part of it, Executive Director of Academic Alliances Jennifer Jonson said. As a former school administrator in the Glendale Union High School District, Johnson understands what it is like working with high school students. “There aren’t many conferences whose purpose it is to empower students as early as fifth grade to bring students together and build a plan for a campus allowing kids to trust the adults and to speak up when they know their friends are in trouble,” Johnson said. “We want everybody who is touched by Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life Conference to know GCU cares about them and this community,” Johnson said. Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life Conference is an opportunity for young students to learn how to overcome dark challenges and learn how to identify suicide signs in their peers. But it is also a place where they learn one of the biggest lessons Gregorio learned: They are not alone. “Do not be afraid to speak up,” Gregorio said. “Everything happens for a reason. If you’re going through something rough right now, it is probably to build your character because you were brought to this world for a reason. You have to look at the bigger picture.” For more information, visit speakstandsave.com.

Paralyzed in accident, this woman was reborn BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

She was born in September 1989, which makes her 30 in calendar years but it’s really the date of her rebirth that matters now. So much of what Christa Cairus once was ended in a moment, June 27, 2010 – the morning her then-boyfriend’s Ducati motorcycle crashed at more than 40 miles per hour into a parked ﬁre engine along Route 66 near Albuquerque. The impact should have killed her. Instead it crushed Cairus’ spinal cord at the C-5 vertebrae. Her head denting the ﬁre truck left Cairus an incomplete quadriple-

gic, unable to move her legs or her hands, though she can still move her arms. It’s tempting to describe Cairus as “confined to a wheelchair,” though little about the Goodyear resident suggests confinement. Cairus is lifting weights as we chat, working on her triceps and shoulders. Her workout will take two hours. Then she’ll drive to pick up her three young kids from daycare and spend the balance of Monday caring for them and her husband, Eric, a Phoenix police officer. It’s a light day because Cairus, a special education teacher and Special Olympics

coach, has the day off from her full-time gig at La Joya High School in Avondale. Tonight, maybe she’ll ﬁnd time to work on her second Master’s degree, this one in special education. One thing Cairus won’t ﬁnd time for? Pity. “It’s obvious I have a disability, but I don’t refer to myself as disabled,” she explains. “I can essentially do everything I want to do. I just can’t do leg day with you at the gym.” If a day in Cairus’ life sounds exhausting, understand her whirlwind schedule is world’s better than life before the crash. She has recently published a memoir

detailing the old Christa. Beautiful Survivor: Escaping the Statistics has little to do with her accident. Instead, it focuses on Cairus’ escape from an abusive relationship that included her boyfriend forcing her to have sex with other men for money. His is a name she rarely speaks now, except as a profanity. The boyfriend escaped the motorcycle crash with road rash and one maimed ﬁnger. Cairus escaped him back home to Iowa in 2012. Two years later, Christa, at the time a single and paralyzed mother of one, met the Army soldier she would marry in November 2014. The two moved to Arizona in 2016. Despite her paralysis, she has had two children with Eric Cairus, though the pregnancies – like so much else she has faced – were anything but easy. Cohen, her second child, came ﬁve weeks early amid preeclampsia and life-threatening blood clots in Cairus’ legs. “I don’t know how pregnancy didn’t kill me,” she says. “Sitting in this posi-

I had these pains in my legs, blood clots, urinary tract infections.” Carter, her ﬁrstborn, will be 10 in March. Son Cohen is 4. Cora, the couple’s daughter, turns two in a few weeks. Cairus is working on a second book. She has dreams of becoming a motivational speaker and one day playing wheelchair basketball. In between being a wife, a mother, a teacher, a coach, a weightlifter and a writer, she’s also found time to amass 13 tattoos. Some are self-explanatory, like “I Refuse To Sink” inked on her right shoulder. She has her kids’ footprints in tribute and a rollercoaster to symbolize her life. Then there’s a quote from Proverbs 31:25: “She is clothed in strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future.” Laugh Christa Cairus does. It is a joyful noise and the soundtrack to her new life.

ways see such universal agreement. Democracy was in full effect when several members of the public expressed their frustrations over the city selling Glen Lakes Golf Course (the “I’m not developed yet!” frequent visitor to Business Briefcase). Warren Wilfong, who is on the Planning Commission, said he was speaking as a citizen. He insisted a major General Plan amendment is needed for the golf course to be developed by Towne Homes, which agreed to purchase the property for $6.5 million. “We’re changing the rules again,” he said. “The only reason I can think of is because of money.” He and others didn’t like the idea the city might break up the 42 acres

into several parcels, to avoid a major amendment. Councilwoman Lauren Tolmachoff stated, no matter past practices, if the Glen Lakes development required a major General Plan amendment, then that should be done. “Ethics and intergrity matter,” she said. “This is why people don’t trust government.” Councilman Bart Turner, who attempted to be a speed bump to slow down the development, agreed a major amendment would be done if required. “I’m fustrated,” he said. If it can’t be done the right way, it should not be done at all, he said. Councilwoman Joyce Clark, in her last meeting as vice mayor, didn’t speak directly to Wilfong and noted she did not attend a recent Glen Lakes public meeting. “But I heard people were downright disrespectful, rude and nasty,” she said. •The Glendale Star is still awaiting confirmation as whether or not Towne and the city signed the purchase agreement. The latest, from Jay Crandall, a city spokesman: “The paperwork has not been signed. It is going through the process, which involves review by the city attorney as well.” •The Jan. 14 meeting provided more details on the development agreement

with Mark Anthony Brewing, maker of the uber-trendy White Claw seltzer. Clark praised it as “a momentous project for the city and the West Valley” also acting as a catalyst for further development and job creation. Randy Huggins, of the city’s Economic Development department, said the Mark Anthony Brewing facility would cover nearly 1 million square feet. The new facility, he said, will employ more than 200 with an average wage above $50,000 per year. More development, more power: Huggins said the facility at Reems Road and Butler Avenue will expedite the construction of an APS substation at Reems Road and Olive Avenue. What’s the trade-off, for the city giving White Claw a $750,000 pass on fees? Total direct revenue to the city is expected to reach $5 million over a decade, Huggins said. Bonus: Mark Anthony Brewing is to fund over $2 million in road improvements. I’ll drink to that.

Real Estate resolutions guaranteed to make you money BY JOHN CROW

be a cheapskate. Stay in your lane and let the pros do it! It’s paying for itself by giving you a return, supporting local business, and allowing you to do what you’re good at, which probably isn’t painting.

Glendale Star Guest Writer

Homeowners often ask how they can enhance the value of their homes without spending a fortune. The answer is really quite simple. Be a good neighbor and help others do the same. Remember, buyers don’t just buy a home, they buy a community. This year, resolve to take these nine simple steps. Doing so will make you richer in home equity and in life.

1. Plant A Tree

Trees add immeasurable beauty to a neighborhood and neighborhoods with lots of trees tend to have higher market values. Great examples can be found in places like central Phoenix and Arcadia. Modern builders now embrace this concept and most require a minimum number of trees as part of the HOA CC&Rs. Newer communities like Verrado in Buckeye and Marley Park in Surprise went all in and are now making treelined streets a central focus of their communities. It’s not just about the beauty, according to the council of tree and landscape appraisers. A mature tree can add up to $10,000 to the value of your home. With so many native or low water use options like the Palo Verde, Iron Wood, Mesquite and Tipu, adding beauty and value to your home and neighborhood is a snap.

2. Paint

The biggest bang for your home investment buck is fresh paint. In the flip world, it’s generally accepted a fresh coat of paint will return 10 times the cost. Paint is really a commodity-based item with good painters typically charging $1.25 per square foot, and excellent painters demanding $1.50 per sqft. At those prices doing it yourself is typically not worth the hassle, so don’t

3. Friend Your Neighbors

No, not the click of a button kind of social media friend. Not the kind you only know from the pictures of their food, cat memes, and all-cap political rants. We’re talking the good ole fashioned, drink a beer in the front yard, babysit the dog, and buy cookies from your kid kind of friend. Get to know your neighbors. The first question most prospective home buyers ask is “how’s the neighborhood?” The problem is while everyone wants a great neighborhood, few try to be great neighbors. If you want to live in a great neighborhood, be a great neighbor. It’s a contagious action lending to building better lives and communities, and if this weren’t enough, it will make your home more valuable. It will do this by making your neighborhood the kind everyone wants to live in.

4. Tidy Up

Back before the expression, “I don’t care what other people think” became popular, there was another phrase that shaped the greatest country in the history of civilization. It went something like, “Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you”. Also known as the Golden Rule, this powerful expression was really great for property values. In real estate terms it meant, “Let’s all keep our houses nice so when we’re ready to sell we’ll all get top dollar”. When we replaced it with “I don’t care what other people think” we were forced to create those pesky HOA’s if we wanted to live in a nice neighborhood. HOA’s are unanimously despised, but the reality is HOA-governed neighborhoods hold their value far better than their non-HOA neigh-

bors. The main reason is they enforce exterior maintenance. Tidy up your curb appeal this year. By doing so, when your neighbor sells his house, he’ll get more money for it. Then when you’re ready to sell your home, its value will have risen. That Golden Rule thing really is golden!

5. Support Your Local School

Realtor.com did a survey a few years ago and the results were shocking. The study concluded 73% of home buyers said school quality was a key factor in their home buying decision. Good schools make great neighborhoods. Get involved by offering your time, talent, and/or treasure in whatever capacity possible. If you are qualified, run for a seat on your local school board. They desperately need trained leaders. Think of it as an investment in a kid’s future, or just a great way to make your house more valuable. Either way you win.

6. Charm It Up With Light

Charm is a great word. In real estate it describes a feeling that makes a buyer want to buy. It’s an inexplicable attraction, or a feeling of comfort a buyer gets from being in or around a home. It has several sources, but lighting is a primary source and is affordable and simple to achieve. A good interior lighting plan includes multiple levels and intensities will get you a solid return on your money. On the outside, great landscape lighting will add both charm and security to a home. High security equals low crime. Low crime neighborhoods sell for more money!

7. Pray For It

Wait a second, this isn’t about getting all preachy. This is about proven ways to make more money with your real estate. According to a pew research study, researchers found prayer helps promote the value of sacrifice as well as strengthening relationships. Other studies find prayer inspires forgiveness and reduces anger and aggression. Maybe praying for your neighbor will help you with step number (meet your neighbor), then you might find out the 2 feet tall grass driving you crazy is

out of control because they can’t physically do the work. This might result in you sending over your video game-obsessed son to help them out, which could lead to him becoming employable. But wait there’s more - now their yard looks good, your whole street looks better, and your home value just went up. Crazy how all this works!

8. Put Up A Flag

An American flag is an expression of patriotism. It is also a symbol of belonging. It transcends politics and unites us to a common purpose. Homes displaying flags communicate a pride in ownership, dependability and trust. Fly it with pride, and back it up with the civic and personal responsibility it stands for, and your home value will fly high.

9. Pump the Brakes on Nextdoor

We live in an online connected world. The first thing prospective employers do when considering an applicant is check out their online profiles. Thanks to apps like Nextdoor, prospective buyers are now doing this as well. They want to believe they are moving into Mayberry, where Aunt Bea brings over hot apple pie. They don’t want to move into a hornets nest of grumps, cranks and jerks who complain loud and often but do nothing to improve the lives of their neighbors. Take part in the online community as a positive force for your neighborhood. Encourage it with tangible action, inspire it through kind words, and defend it with sage wisdom where necessary. Be a voice of encouragement for your neighborhood. It’s the right thing to do and it’s great for your home value too. No house is an island. It’s part of the fabric of a community. This year take a step to improve your home and your neighborhood. It’s good for your wallet and the world.

Glendale man almost throws away $100 thousand BY OCTAVIO SERRANO

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

Michael Bozner normally throws out “junk mail” without a glance, but his 13-year-old son stopped him from throwing away a valuable mailer. “He thinks everything is going to be a winner and I said, ‘You know, I’m going to teach you a lesson, boy, about these sale gimmicks’,” Bozner said. The 52-year-old Glendale resident brought the flyer to Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria. Instead of teaching his son a lesson, he was shocked to learn he won a $100,000 cash prize. It was the largest cash price to ever be rewarded in the “FATWIN” sweepstakes. Bozner owns an auto repair shop and is a man of few words and not one to normally lose his cool. The day he came in to ask about the mailer, he was more concerned about getting the groceries done than the fact he won the grand prize. “I had people coming up and congratulating me and my boys were just bouncing all over the floor,” Bozner said. One of the people to congratulate him was Jay Carley, Toyota Peoria general manager. “I’ve given many of them (prizes) in the past,” Carley said. “I’ve even giv-

en out a car, but I had never given out the grand prize.” Carley said the company sends roughly 10,000 mailers at a time but only a few people claim them. Most people just throw them away. “If we send out 10,000 pieces, you’ll probably have 150 people come in at the most,” Carley said. “That’s why there’s usually 8,500 who never get a chance Michael Bozner was presented a $100,000 check by staff at Larry H.

Theatre launches first impact project of 2020 BY SARA EDWARDS

Arizona Broadway Theatre’s “La Cage aux Folles” runs through Feb. 28.

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

The Arizona Broadway Theatre is launching its first “impact project” with their 2020 theater season. The projects aims to increase the theater’s community outreach and engagement through meaningful ways beyond the production on the stage. Brad York, director of marketing and development at the ABT, said the group and wanted to find ways to follow the motto “art imitates life.” “This is our first big project,” Brad York said. “Every show that happens on a stage has themes and subject matters are applicable in everyday life.” The first impact project is launching in conjunction with the theater’s production of “La Cage aux Folles.” The story is about a young engaged man who is nervous about introducing his fiancee and her straight-laced parents to his father, who owns a drag club, and his mother, the star of the show.

The project is being launched to raise awareness of teen-youth bullying, specifically in the LGBTQ+ community. “‘La Cage’ is one of the first musi-

cals to have its story centered around a same-sex couple,” York said. “Theater is important and it gives the opportunity for people to think and see the world in perhaps a different way than they came in seeing it. “While the central theme of ‘La Cage’ focuses on issues of inclusion and acceptance related to the LGBTQ+ community, our intent with the ‘I Am What I Am!’ teenyouth anti-bullying Impact Project is to broaden the focus of inclusion and ac-

ceptance among all people.” Arizona Broadway Theatre partnered with One n Ten, a nonprofit organization in Phoenix aiming to help LGBTQ+ kids and young adults (ages 11-24) who have been kicked out or removed from their homes because of their sexual orientation. “The hope with the anti-bullying campaign isn’t to preach,” York said. “It’s to make someone ask or answer the question in their own mind ‘that is a big deal. We should be paying more attention.’” “La Cage aux Folles” opened Jan. 24 at the Arizona Broadway Theater and runs until Feb. 28 before transferring to the Herberger Theater Center in downtown Phoenix. Tickets for the show, dinner or both can be purchased at azbroadwaytheatre.com or by calling the box office at 623-776-8400. Arizona Broadway Theatre is at 7701 W. Paradise Lane, Peoria.

Tackle Trauma event at GCC held Feb. 2

The Glendale Star

Gross, but is it illegal? BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

The Arizona Trauma Association is sponsoring a 5k run and walk Feb. 2 at Glendale Community College. (Photo courtesy ATA)

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Trauma experts, first responders, police and emergency medical service personnel will demonstrate important ways to manage trauma at Tackle Trauma from 8 to 10 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 2. The key, experts say, is avoiding accidents and crashes as well as distracted driving. The interactive first responder and injury prevention demonstrations are part of the sixth annual event. The event features a 5k run and walk at Glendale Community College, 6000 W. Olive Avenue, Glendale.

Dr. Joseph Sucher, ATA president, said the organization “wants to raise awareness” of the massive impact traumatic injruies have on people. Indeed, the leading cause of death in people ages 1-44 is trauma. “Whether it’s a car or motorcycle accident or a fall from a ladder, countless people are affected by trauma every day,” he noted. Check-in for the event starts at 7 a.m. Online registration is $35. In-person registration is $45. For more information or to register, visit aztracc.org/tackletrauma5k.

It may be gross to take the lid off a quart of ice cream, lick it, and then put it back on the shelf of a grocery store. But what it’s not, according to Rep. T.J. Shope, is illegal. So now the Coolidge Republican wants to make it a crime, one, depending on the circumstances, could lend an offender in state prison. That’s only one of the ways Shope is seeking to protect consumers. A separate bill is aimed at those delivering food who, for whatever reason, decide it’s OK to sample what’s in the bag or box. House Bill 2298 would extend the requirements to get a food-handler’s license to those who work for private delivery services like Uber Eats and Postmates. But Shope’s main focus is HB 2299. He said there is a craze of sorts - apparently, this started last year with a girl taking a video of herself at a Texas store taking a container of ice cream off the shelf, licking it and then putting it back. What happened is it became a game of sorts -- it picked up the informal name of the Blue Bell Challenge -- with others seeking to follow suit and post their own videos. There also are videos of people spitting into containers of ice tea and putting the containers back for others to buy. Shope said he’s heard of one such incident in Arizona. “It’s been our understanding law enforcement has been unable to charge,’’ he said, as there is no specific law in Arizona covering the situation. So his HB 2299, Shope said, is modeled after a law adopted in Texas. As crafted, it would be a Class 2 misdemeanor to “knowingly introduce, add or mingle any bodily fluid, foreign object not intended for human consumption or unsanitary surface with any water, food, drink or other product that may be consumed by a human being.’’ Violators could end up in the county jail for up to four months and face a fine of $750. But Shope said the focus of his bill is “these viral wanna-be’s manipulating food products.’’ So HB 2299 reserves its felony penalty – up to a year in state prison – for

those who post photos or videos online of what they have done. “People want to become the next Instagram hero of the day,’’ Shope said. “It gets a bunch of clicks on a day,’’ he said. “And it makes somebody feel good, I guess.’’ This same penalty also would apply if it turns out someone else ended up consuming the contaminated product. Shope said the problem may not be limited to grocery stores. “Places with buffets noticed some of this type of behavior as well,’’ he said. “So it runs the gamut.’’ HB 2298 deals with a different kind of interaction between some people and food meant for someone else. Last year US Foods, a major wholesale food distributor, conducted a survey of 1,518 people nationally who have food delivered by services like Uber Eats, Grubhub, DoorDash and Postmates as well as 497 who said they had worked for at least one of the food delivery apps. It turns out 21 percent of customers suspected drivers sampled some of their food. But the problem actually is larger, with 28 percent of those who deliver admitting they had taken food from an order. Shope’s solution: license these independent drivers the same way employees of restaurants already have to get certified as food handlers. That, he said, would instruct them on things like safe handling of food and preventing contamination. Still, Shope conceded, nothing in the bill actually would keep a delivery driver from dipping into the fries or taking a sip of that milkshake. If nothing else, he said, it might make those on the delivery end at least “make a dent and make people feel more comfortable about what they’re eating at home.’’ “I think the public needs a little peace of mind that at least their deliveries have been trained,’’ Shope said. And Shope said now is the time to act. “The craze, the direction, is definitely moving in that direction,’’ he said, with food delivery becoming more popular. “I use them as well.’’ No date has yet been set for a hearing on either measure.

As they were leaving the church, the minister said, “Bernie, it sure would be nice to see you and Esther here more than once a year!” “I know,” replied Bernie, “but least we keep the Ten Commandments.” “That’s great,” the minister said. “I’m glad to hear you keep the Commandments.” “Yep,” says Bernie proudly, “Esther keeps six of them and I keep four.” Welcome to the life of a pastor.

a shepherd or a pastor is interesting. You never know what is going to happen to sheep. They get lost. They are unaware. There are all kinds of things, dare I say, making life doubly interesting. Let me explain what I mean. Psalm 23 is probably the most famous Psalm in the Bible. You have probably heard it at some point in your life. “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want...” This Psalm was written

by David. He was reﬂecting on how God leads his people (himself included) like a shepherd leads his sheep through many toils, trials, and snares. One of God’s names is Jehovah Rohi; The Lord my Shepherd. David had an epiphany as both a pastor and the leader of a nation, he is a leader, led by the Leader, who leads like a shepherd. The Apostle Peter uses the shepherd metaphor in his writings to pastors and shepherds in the church. “Here’s my concern: you care for God’s ﬂock with all the diligence of a shepherd. Not because you need to, but because you want to please God. Not calculating what you can get out of it but acting eagerly. Not bossily telling others what to do, but tenderly showing them the way. When God, who is the best Shepherd of all, comes out into the open with His rule, He’ll see you’ve done it right and commend you lavishly.” Did you notice the shepherd’s dilemma in this verse? The pastor is both a sheep and a shepherd at the same time. The shepherd is a sheep too! The pastor has a dual role, dual citizenship. Being a pastor since 1980, I’ve learned something. As a shepherd, I tend to look at everyone as a sheep and forget I’m a sheep too! I struggle with my “sheepness.” I’m supposed to lead others into still waters, protect, prepare, rest or move, know the answers, lead people through the good times and bad times in their

lives, ﬁnd the table in the wilderness, and all the other shepherd “stuff.” But, there’s a difference between sheep and cattle. You drive cattle but you can’t drive sheep. You lead sheep. The fact is I’m one of those sheep too! I need The Shepherd too! I need all the stuff sheep need and more because I’m both a sheep and a shepherd. Sometimes I forget my ‘sheepness.’ This has effects it affects the rest of the ﬂock. So, I need to keep the sheep in shape and myself in shape too. I want everything “sheepshape.” Why do so many pastors have a hard time in ministry and even fall, much to the delight of others both inside and outside of the church? They forget their “sheepness.” They start driving sheep rather than leading sheep. Sheep start biting each other when this happens. Then sheep quit following the leader and believe me, they need a leader. They are sheep! To the sheep I say, pray for, honor and follow your shepherds for they keep watch over your souls. And, let them be sheep too! To the shepherds, I say: “Embrace your ‘sheepness.’” To learn more about Pastor Ed Delph, the Church-Community Connection and Nation Strategy, call 623-376-6757, e-mail nationstrategy@cs.com or visit nationstrategy.com.

Prepare your preschooler for kindergarten BY BRETT BENNINGHOFF

By turning everyday moments into learning moments, we can send our young kids to school with the skills and confidence to help them succeed in kindergarten. “Sometimes parents are hyper-focused on academic and physical achievement,” Gunning said. “We know now our greatest investment is in the social-emotional success of children. We can help students prepare for kindergarten by helping them feel safe and loved so they can access their brilliance at school and in life.”

Glendale Star Guest Writer

The holidays are behind us, but if you have a preschooler who will be entering kindergarten next school year, it’s not too early to start getting them ready. In fact, many schools hold their kindergarten registration events beginning this month. First Things First (FTF), Arizona’s early childhood organization, has many suggestions on what families can do at home to prepare their child to be successful on the first day of kindergarten. The FTF Kindergarten Readiness page, found at https://www.firstthingsfirst. org/resources/kindergarten-readiness/, is a resource for parents and caregivers to help children be prepared for school success. Superintendent Jodi Gunning tells parents from the Litchfield Elementary School District they can help their children thrive in kindergarten and beyond by fostering deep emotional connections to help little ones feel safe and loved. “Once children are confident about themselves and their new environment, they will be able to access their brilliance and really start blossoming,” she said. “The single most important thing parents can do to prepare their child for kindergarten is foster a strong sense of confidence and safety in their young learner. Strong connections give children the confidence to master new tasks and embrace the challenges coming with starting school.” Below are some tips from First Things First to help your preschooler have a fun, easy transition to kindergarten: • Read with your child at least 20 minutes per day. Try books that repeat words; involve activities like counting, identifying colors, objects or letters; or, are about things your child likes. Ask questions like, “What do you think happens next?” • Talk with your child everywhere – at home, in the car, at the store. Makeup stories or songs about your outings.

• Writing begins with scribbling. Give your child safe writing tools to play with, like crayons, chalk or markers and blank paper. Ask your child to tell you about their drawings. • Teach your child how to use the bathroom by themselves, to wash their hands after going to the bathroom and before eating, to blow their nose and sneeze into their elbow. Before the first day, talk with your child about what to expect during the school day and types of after-school activities they may be involved in. The more details kids know, the less anxious they will feel. Rehearse for the big day with testruns of the new routine, which will include: • Choosing what to wear the night before. • Waking up early to have plenty of time to get ready. • Eating a healthy breakfast. • Walking to the bus stop and talking about boarding and where to sit. • Practicing how to open parts of lunch, whether it’s a carton of milk or a small bag of carrots. Remind them teachers or lunch staff can help if needed. Even if you don’t have kindergarteners this year, it’s never too early to start

helping kids prepare. Children who have positive early childhood experiences tend to score higher on school readiness assessments and are more likely to do well in school and graduate. PUZZLE ANSWERS
