Dr. Alexander Patrick is taking on the new role of Glendale Community College director of diversity, equity and inclusion for three years. He is in his fifth year serving as part-time residential faculty in the college’s social studies department. “I see this role as working to improve the success of all students, especially the ones who have been marginalized or let out of the system — not just students, though,” Patrick said. “I want to change the culture and equity mindedness. When I’m speaking of equity mindedness, I’m thinking how can we target these areas in the institution that may not be at a place where they are not able to serve not only our students but also our faculty and staff and the other community members. How do we make our college more
equitable?” President Teresa Leyba Ruiz said she’s excited about adding “this very important leadership role.” “We are thrilled that Dr. Patrick is willing to apply his thoughtfulness, intelligence, passion and energy to this position,” she added. Patrick said the application process was similar to any job within the college and that the position — in his words — was created because people were seeing that others within the college and surrounding community value the importance of “diversity, equity and inclusion on campuses.” “I think some people were like, ‘Oh, we are going to hire someone to work with (DEI). This person is going to come up with this mind-blowing idea that is going to fit and correct everything that we have done up until this point, and it will always be the SEE DIRECTOR PAGE 3

more than 250 people in the Valley. “Brooklyn Bedding has come a long way from the early days of selling overstock mattresses to now be in a position to triple mattress production,” said John Merwin, owner and chief executive officer of Brooklyn Bedding. “Over the years, I’ve been asked to define our journey as an American-made brand. No one grows up thinking, ‘I want to build mattresses for a living.’ I read all the books. I went to all the seminars. Every
expert said you’re supposed to find your passion and pursue it. While I was trying to figure out what I should be doing with my life, I was building stuff and doing what I loved. I finally woke up to the fact that that’s success. I try not to lose sight of the fact that I’m building mattresses for people who are waking up to their own potential every day, who are working and dreaming, too.” Family owned since 1995, Brooklyn

idea that we go to,’” he said. “I’m not going to say that that is a possibility.” He said formerly the college’s main goal was to “get more people in the door for college education.” Now, that has changed. “Now the conversation has shifted. Really, within the past five to 10 years, the conversation has seriously shifted from looking at just access to looking at access with success included,” Patrick said. “Meaning that now that we have people in the door, are we trying to get people to jump to where we are in the field of academia or are we going to mold on how we are going to create services to make sure that those people, who are now present in our college classrooms, are able to be successful — not just we threw them in the classroom and we expect that they learn everything quickly.” Patrick hopes to shift the way teachers communicate with students, how the syllabi are worded and who does the material in the class serve. “If we are asking who is served by this particular thing regardless of what our position is in the realm of higher

education, then our methods, our solutions, our services will always shift with our population, so we won’t have to worry about the creation of some new major idea,” Patrick said. “We will take inventory of the students in front of us and say, ‘OK, what is it that these students come with and what do they not come with? What is it that I’m offering, and are the things that I’m offering going to serve a need for these people in front of me?’ “I will always be updating financial aid. I will always be updating institutional research. I will be updating assessments. It’s a very vulnerable process, too, where we have to be patient with each other and with ourselves and we have to be vulnerable to open ourselves to say maybe there is something that I could improve on.” Patrick said he works in this field because he was the recipient of “equity-minded thinking” prior to today’s popularity of the idea. “I had faculty members, family members, friends, they all saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself, and with that I wasn’t thinking of hav-
ing a career in academia/higher education,” Patrick said. “But because people reached out to me and they said, ‘Hey, we think that you have something and we want to nourish that thing. We want to help you grow.’ “So many times, as faculty members, we think we can’t help students because they don’t reach out to us and let us know that they need help — but we can. I do this work because I know the impact that it can have not only on students but as a faculty member, as an employee as well. I know how important it is to have people reach out to you, to help you thrive in that institution.” Patrick earned his undergraduate degree in anthropology from Louisiana State University and earned his master’s and doctorate degrees in sociology and women’s and gender studies, with specializations in intersectionality, gender and sexuality studies, criminology, race/ethnicity and qualitative research methodologies. —Staff writer Annika Tomlin can be reached at atomlin@ timespublications.com.

BEDDING FROM PAGE 1
Bedding originated with Rob Merwin delivering mattresses direct to customers’ homes in a refurbished Wonder Bread truck. Subsequently joined by his brother John, the Merwins then evolved their business by learning every aspect of mattress engineering — accumulating raw materials and equipment as they could afford them to build their own brand and passing on the savings to customers through a direct-to-consumer retail model. Recognizing the limits of brick-andmortar in Phoenix, they sought a way to expand nationally. In 2008, John pioneered the bed-in-a-box concept in the United States, selling his first rollpacked mattress on Amazon. By 2015, Brooklyn Bedding had developed and constructed a 150,000-square-foot, fullscale factory in partnership with Brydant Real Estate. Less than four years later, with the brand’s growth in retail and wholesale channels, Brooklyn Bedding had reached maximum capacity and acquired a secondary warehouse. The new manufacturing facility and

corporate headquarters will merge the capacity of the company’s current factory and warehouse. The plan entails an investment of more than $72 million to make Brooklyn Bedding nearly100% vertically integrated. The company again tapped long-time partner Brydant Real Estate to spearhead the project. The latter brought together two locally operated companies, the development team of Alston Construction and the ar-
chitectural team of Ware Malcomb for the design-build phase. “Our relationship with Brooklyn Bedding was founded on John Merwin’s passion to be the best, coupled with his uncompromising integrity,” said Scott Backes, president of Brydant Real Estate. “At the end of the day, that’s a vision we not only appreciate but also live by. As a real estate consultant and develop-
er, I get excited about working closely with a partner who is truly a pioneer. We’ve created extraordinary synergy and value over the years because we both know what it takes to build from the ground up.” Pending completion of the new construction, Brooklyn Bedding will continue operations at its manufacturing facility at 4455 W. Camelback Road and its warehouse at 4524 N. 44th Avenue in Phoenix. “We are incredibly pleased to not only welcome Brooklyn Bedding to Glendale but also thank them for choosing Glendale for their headquarters and manufacturing,” said Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers. “With this significant investment, Brooklyn Bedding brings new life and spurs revitalization in Glendale’s Grand Avenue Industrial District with new employment opportunities for residents. Glendale looks forward to growing with Brooklyn Bedding as they continue to lead in their industry.” —Executive Editor Christina Fuoco-Karasinski can be reached at christina@timespublications.com.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Although Glendale’s 2020 Hometown Christmas Parade was canceled, the annual food drive was not. Even without the parade, more than $35,000 was donated to Glendale’s local Hope for Hunger Food Bank, operated by Phoenix Rescue Mission, making it a record year for monetary donations. “Every year I am proud of how the community comes together to help each other. With the pandemic, we knew the need was going to be much greater and yet the community stepped up in a huge way and I couldn’t be prouder or more grateful,” said Mayor Jerry Weiers. The 2020 Hometown Christmas Parade’s annual food drive, benefiting the Hope for Hunger Food Bank, went from October 2020 into January 2021. During those four months, community supporters donated over $35,000 and more than 11,900 pounds of nonperishable food, including 238 turkeys. Last year, the community donated more
than $18,000 and 32,000 pounds of nonperishable food. “We can do a lot with cash donations,” said Danny Dahm with Hope for Hunger Food Bank. “We are usually able buy things we need wholesale and get much better pricing.” After Weiers decided to cancel the parade, due to COVID-19 public health concerns, parade committee staff began contacting sponsors and entrants about refunding their fees. They quickly learned an overwhelming number of the parade entrants and sponsors wanted their fees to be donated directly to the Phoenix Rescue Mission’s Hope for Hunger Food Bank in support of the Hometown Christmas Parade’s annual food drive. “The need for food doesn’t end with the holiday season. This year especially, please consider donating to Hope for Hunger, Phoenix Rescue Mission or any other food bank found in the Valley,” said Chris Kelly, president of the Hometown Christmas Parade Committee.

Library offers hotspot to help residents BY CHRISTIAN G. SERRANO Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Glendale residents will find it easier to log on to the internet with Wi-Fi, thanks to $8,000 in grants awarded in 2020 from the Arizona State Library Archives and Public Records, a division of the secretary of state’s office. Glendale city staff briefed the library advisory board during a Feb. 10 meeting on the city’s hotspot lending program that offers Wi-Fi in areas of limited internet availability. The program launched in January. “We plan for the Wi-Fi hotspots to allow the Glendale Public Library to provide internet services to patrons who may not have access due to financial barriers,” said Natalie Menges, a Glendale librarian who participated in the grant application process. Hotspots are available to anybody over the age of 18 with a Glendale Public Library card. Only one hotspot per household can be checked out at any given time. Hotspots can be checked out for three weeks and cannot be renewed. Through the program, the Glendale Public Library intends on “improving patron autonomy and working to minimizing the digital divide,” Menges said. As defined by the city’s website, a hotspot is “a mobile device that allows access to the internet on your Wi-Fi-

equipped smartphones, laptops, computers, tablets, etc.” Up to 15 devices can be connected to one hotspot, which operates on Sprint’s 4G LTE network. This was needed because the COVID-19 pandemic eliminated much of the on-site services provided to residents. “Because of the pandemic, with everyone doing virtual and a lot of people working from home, we want to be able to give people the option to have internet at home,” said Hannah Verdin, a Glendale Public Library team librarian. Patrons also have the option to use on-site Wi-Fi at a limited capacity following health guidelines. Other services and events available prior to the pandemic are available virtually. “All our programs that we normally offer in person, such as storytime, book club and even musical performances, have been moved online,” Verdin said. These virtual events are available on the Glendale, Arizona, YouTube account. Menges said the hotspot program’s goal is to overcome the challenges caused by the pandemic. “We hope these hotspots will be used to promote individual autonomy through access to information,” Menges said.

Radio station 98KUPD and Musically Fed are teaming up to help roadies, who also are out of work due to the stoppage of concerts and events. The “Adopt a Roadie” campaign includes food drives for consecutive Wednesdays at select Safeway and Albertsons, and drive-thru distribution to support Musically Fed in its mission to provide essentials to local live music and event workers. Partners include #DrinkInAZ, Jack Daniel’s, Sweet James and Safeway/ Albertsons Nourishing Neighbors Community Relief. The food collection campaign runs through March 26 and culminates in a drive-thru event hosted by Rhino Staging and Video. Ninety-eight families with members who are the stagehands, audio
and visual techs, riggers and forklift drivers will receive boxes filled with dry goods collected during the campaign, as well as produce and protein provided by Resurrection Street Ministry. Financial support from Nourishing Neighbors Community Relief allows Musically Fed to provide the food for the 98 families. With an average of six people in a family, this will provide meals for approximately 600 people. The collection times include 4:30 to 6 p.m. March 3 at 3800 W. Happy Valley Road in Glendale, and 4:30 to 6 p.m. March 17, at 12320 N. 83rd Avenue, Peoria.

Born to run — from excessive public attention BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist
Every few months, a stranger approaches me on the golf course to discuss something I’ve written. This makes me anxious, because (a) these folks typically disagree with the column in question and (b) I’m usually about to miss a 5-foot putt I need to make par. These moments always make me glad that I am in no way famous. Because fame, especially today, seems like one of the worst afflictions imaginable. Take, for example, the week Bruce Springsteen just had. On Super Bowl Sunday, The Boss was riding high, the star of a new Jeep commercial entitled “The Middle,” which aired to massive acclaim. Personally, I found the TV spot weirdly hypocritical: Springsteen, who’s politically as left as a hooked six-iron, had spent most of the past
four years viciously attacking President Donald Trump. So, Jeep chose him to hawk SUVs by inviting America to reunite as a country? “All are more than welcome to come meet here in the middle,” was the ad’s basic message. Then came Feb. 10, when news broke that Springsteen had been charged with drunken driving in his home state of New Jersey. Suddenly, Bruce was in the middle — of a complete cluster. The New York Times wrote several hundred words about Springsteen’s arrest. It made headlines and newscasts around the globe. By afternoon, Jeep had pulled the TV spot off the internet, saying: “it’s … right that we pause our big game commercial until the actual facts can be established.” Speaking of the actual facts, we’ll find those out should Springsteen’s case reach trial. But what’s out in the
SMITH’S OPINION – Las Vegas Sun
public domain thus far underscores how lousy fame is. According to a spokesman for the National Park Service, Springsteen was arrested on Nov. 14 in the Gateway National Recreation Area near Sandy Hook along the Jersey Shore. He was charged with driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and consuming alcohol in a closed area. “Springsteen was cooperative throughout the process,” according to the NPS statement. My first take was, wow, Bruce must have been pretty wasted to rack up three counts like that. You have to figure — and I’m not saying this is a good thing — that a celebrity like Springsteen, a guy who’s a god in Jersey, Mr. Born to Run, must get kid glove treatment when he does something wrong. Apparently not so here. Thursday, the Asbury Park Press reported Springsteen’s blood alcohol level at arrest was .02, or one-quarter of Jersey’s legal limit. Of course, that’s “according to a source familiar with the case.” That source could be a cop or clerk with access to the incident report. Or it could be Springsteen’s PR machine
spinning the narrative favorably. Or it might be a music industry pal, like “the source close to Springsteen” who chatted with the New York Post Feb. 11. In that version of events, Springsteen was riding his motorcycle when he was spotted by fans. “Bruce stopped, took … pictures, then a fan offered him a shot of liquor, which he took while sitting on his bike, which was stationary,” the source told the Post. “Park Police saw what happened and they immediately pulled Springsteen over as he drove away.” Therein lies the price of fame. Free drinks are few and far between for we mere mortals. Then again, if we do get pulled over and fail to walk the line or we blow a .02, it doesn’t make news worldwide. No one puts out a press release. And our friends don’t abandon us like Jeep leaving the scene of Springsteen’s possible noncrime. You’ve heard the saying before, I’m sure. In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes. Feel free to have my time. I’ll pass. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.

Delta Dental awards $775K in local grants BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Glendale’s Delta Dental of Arizona, through its foundation, selected 30 nonprofits across the state as recipients of grants and dental supplies to improve the oral health of Arizonans. These funds, $774,322, were awarded to support projects and services promoting good oral health practices and increasing access to dental care among underserved children, pregnant women and seniors throughout 2021. Grants were awarded via two programs: Community Grants and IMPACT Grants. Community grants ranging from $2,500 to $30,000, as well as dental supplies as needed, were presented to 26 Arizona nonprofits, including: • A New Leaf. • Arizona Dental Foundation. • Arizona Oral Health Coalition. • Barrow Neurological Foundation. • Children’s Museum of Phoenix. • Dental Lifeline Network. • Desert Senita Dental Clinic. • Dignity Health Dental Clinic. • Esperança. • Great Arizona Puppet Theater. • HNC Living Foundation. • Marana Community Health Center. • Mountain Park Health Center Tempe Clinic. • National Kidney Foundation. • North Country Health Care. • Phoenix Rescue Mission. • Prescott Area Shelter Services. • River Cities United Way. • Senior Citizens of Patagonia. • Southern Arizona Oral Health Coalition. • Southwest Human Development. • Sunset Health. • Tohono O’odham Community Health Center. • United Community Health Center. • UofA Mobile Unit. • Verde Valley Medical Center.

In 2020, Delta Dental launched its IMPACT Grant program. Through it, four organizations earned two-year grants totaling $100,000 each, with $50,000 awarded in 2020 and $50,000 awarded in 2021. Nonprofits that were invited to apply for these grants provide oral health services and education to over 650 children, pregnant women or seniors and have a proven record of fiscal and reporting responsibility. Tooth BUDDS is an IMPACT recipient. Tooth BUDDS is a group of affiliated practice dental hygienists who serve the children of Graham and Greenlee counties by providing dental screenings, dental cleanings, sealants, fluoride varnish, Silver Diamine Fluoride applications and restorations free of charge at their school. Tooth BUDDS utilizes teledentistry to communicate the needs of these students with their affiliated dentist to expedite the restorative procedures necessary for complete oral health care. Also an IMPACT recipient is the Boys & Girls Club of Metropolitan Phoenix Dental Clinic. It provides preventive and restorative oral health services to at nearly 900 low-income, uninsured youth
in metro Phoenix. The program directly reduces the students’ school absenteeism due to dental pain. Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health (NOAH) Smiles for Kids is an IMPACT recipient. The school-based, oral health education and screening program is provided to children in schools and community events in Title I schools in the Scottsdale Public and Paradise Valley school districts. This program promotes the importance of oral health for school readiness and effective learning. El Rio Health Center’s Pediatric Dental Integration Program, which expands direct screening, varnish and oral health education by embedding dental hygiene teams in five El Rio Health locations throughout Tucson, is an IMPACT recipient, too. Beyond this, Delta Dental of Arizona has also partnered with Neighborhood Outreach Access to Health (NOAH) and HonorHealth Foundation to fund expert emergency dental treatment at NOAH for uninsured patients who visit HonorHealth emergency departments with dental issues. The new Delta Dental of Arizona Dental Connect program is
made possible by a $525,000 donation by Delta Dental. “Patients experiencing a dental crisis usually come to the emergency department as a last resort, and with at least one — and usually more — dental issues,” said Wendy Armendariz, NOAH chief executive officer. “These issues can be causing severe pain, impacting other areas of a patient’s health, and probably interfering with their day-to-day life. Through Dental Connect, when an uninsured patient checks into an HonorHealth emergency room and presents with a dental emergency, facial pain or other related oral health issue, he or she will be referred to the appropriate NOAH dental staff member for care.” According to Armendariz, NOAH will then set a virtual triage appointment for the patient with a dentist, typically within 24 hours. After the triage appointment, NOAH will schedule the appointment at one of its four local dental clinics (Cholla Health Center, Desert Mission Health Center, Palomino Health Center and Heuser Pediatric Dental) to begin the emergency dental work. Because transportation can keep some people from receiving the care they need, DDAZ will also fund transportation costs for Dental Connect patients. “As a nonprofit, community-based hospital system, HonorHealth depends upon donations from companies and individuals. This gift not only helps us provide exceptional care, it drives health care transformation by bringing services together to help people when they need it most,” said Jared Langkilde, president and chief executive officer of the HonorHealth Foundation. “Delta Dental of Arizona has been a generous donor and partner to HonorHealth Foundation. The impact of their gift touches the very heart of our mission to advance health and well-being for all.” For more, visit deltadentalaz.com.

Urban Margarita pairs two special events BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Urban Margarita is celebrating National Margarita Day 24 hours later, but paired with Taco Tuesday, it’s a Mexican food lover’s dream. “National Margarita Day lands on Monday, but because we’re closed on Mondays, we’re celebrating it on Tuesday,” said David Borrego of Urban Margarita. “It ties in to Taco Tuesday, when we have $2 tacos, $2 grilled steak and grilled chicken tacos all night.” As for margaritas, diners can purchase margaritas for $4 from 3 to 9 p.m. on Feb. 23 with selections such as the pineapple jalapeno, cucumber jalapeno, prickly pear, blood orange or elderflower. “All of our margaritas are scratch made,” Borrego said. “We don’t use any processed mixes of anything. We use fresh lime, fresh lemon, and we use organic agave for all of our margaritas. You’re not going to get that high sugar content that isn’t good for you.” That said, Urban Margarita is a total scratch kitchen, according to Borrego.

Comedian Steve Trevino shares ‘relatable’ humor BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor
Steve Trevino’s parents often held barbecues at their house during which the men cooked outside, and the women retreated indoors to chat. He remembered both groups coming together inside and “laughing their butts off.” “I looked at the TV and there was a guy there telling jokes,” Trevino said. “It was Richard Pryor. I didn’t know I could do that for a job. I said, ‘That’s what I’m going to do.’” And he did. Known as “America’s Favorite Husband,” Trevino will perform at StandUp Live in Phoenix from Thursday, Feb. 18, to Saturday, Feb. 20. He’s living his dream.
“As a kid, back in the day, in between movies on HBO, they would tell you the next three things that are coming,” he recalled. “Sometimes, the third one would be ‘Def Comedy Jam,’ an hour-long comedy special. I would stay up until 1 a.m. sometimes. I wanted to watch that stand-up special and thought, ‘One of those days, maybe it’ll be me.’” He’s one of the country’s fastest-rising comics. Trevino has been viewed over 175 million times as of 2020, selling out shows coast to coast, amassing nearly 1 million social media followers, and headlining specials for Amazon, Netflix and Showtime. He opened the 2001 “Three Amigos Comedy Tour” with Carlos Mencia, Pablo Francisco and Freddy Soto. By 2006, he began headlining. His first Showtime special, “Grandpa Joe’s Son,” staked out a spot in the Nielsen Top 20. In 2014, he funded, produced and shot his Netflix hit “Relatable.” To promote the special, he uploaded a clip entitled “When Your Wife Comes Home from Shopping,” which generated 56 million views on Facebook alone and paved Comedian Steve Trevino said the Valley is one of his favorite tour stops. He often sells out Stand Up Live and Tempe Improv. (Photo courtesy Steve Trevino)
the way for clips like “When You Ask Your Wife If She Wants McDonald’s” and “When Going to Vegas with Your Wife Goes Wrong.” Trevino finds laughs in all aspects of the “shutdowns” — panic shopping, being home with his wife and best friend Renae. He even finds humor in 2019, their worst year, when Renae had a miscarriage at five months pregnant. In 2020, they gave birth to their baby girl during the pandemic. “With each of my comedy specials I’ve gotten more personal,” Trevino said. “I wanted to be able to talk about the miscarriage because I felt like it was something a lot of couples have gone through, but no one’s talking about it. To me, some of the best comedy comes from great pain, so it was important for me to find an honest and funny way to share that journey with my audience.” Trevino also raises money for Helicopters for Heroes, an organization benefiting veterans. Also, in 2020, he and Renae unveiled a joint weekly podcast entitled Steve Trevino & Captain Evil: The Podcast, which now has over 1 million views/streams. Truly a family affair, the special also features a short stand-up from their 5-year-old son, Garrett. “I talk about life,” he said about his comedic topics. “I talk about what I’m going through with my wife, trying to
raise a 5-year-old, having a 2-monthold, the quarantine — you know, everything. “Everything I do onstage is about everyday life. I named one of my specials ‘Relatable’ because that’s what my comedy is. I’m a storyteller. This is what I’m going through now with my frustrations with my wife and marriage. Hopefully, it translates.” Amazon recently picked up his fourth comedy special, “My Life in Quarantine,” which he released for a limited time through his website late last year. “That’s very exciting, because we did it without waiting for any streaming service. We wanted to get it out straight to the fans,” he said. “We were able to get it on Amazon, but now it’s on Netflix. At the end of the day, it’s a commercial. They can watch me and see if they want to see me when I’m in their city on tour.” —Executive Editor Christina Fuoco-Karasinski can be reached at christina@timespublications.com.

To trust or not to trust — that is the question Trust — that’s quite a word. It seems that our whole society is having trouble trusting anyone or anything. We are bombarded by those in government, education, media and other social sectors doing and saying things that violate our trust. Ethical, financial and moral scandals permeate many levels of our world. And it seems to be picking up momentum as it continues. I’ve been concerned about this issue for some time now. I even co-wrote a book about trust entitled “Learning How to Trust.” I have noticed that people, whether churched or unchurched, have become more jaded, cynical and suspicious. Some of this attitude is deserved. We need to use wisdom when deciding whom and on what we trust. Are we losing our ability to trust? Do things have to go our way for us to trust? Are we doomed to national and local cynicism due to a lack of trust in anything? Is there anyone or anything in which you can place your trust these days? Are we destined to lives of sus-

picion and trusting only in ourselves? Where does a lifestyle of “trustlessness” take us to in the long run? To trust or not to trust — that is the question. That old song says, “I am a rock, I am an island, I touch no one, and no one touches me.” That’s a challenging way to live life! A trustless life or trusting in the wrong object or person is more like existing than living. If we continue down the trust-impaired path we seem to be walking on, there will be consequences. We will move from faith to fear, from abundance to scarcity, and from trust to doubt, even spite. Many people act like sea urchins in the ocean that a stick has poked. They have recoiled and put a sign on their
ability to trust, which says, “Closed for business.” The problem is, when we lock others out, we lock ourselves in, too. Years ago, as a singles pastor, I counseled hundreds of newly divorced people. They came into our single’s group with vows such as: “I’ll never trust a man again.” “I’ll never trust a woman again.” “I’ll never fall in love again!” “I’ll never” seems comfortable at first but later can limit one’s entire life. In 1991, during a yearly skiing trip to Taos, New Mexico, I suffered a fall on a double black diamond ski run. I slid out of control at an incredible speed halfway down the mountain. My life flashed before. After what seemed like eons, I finally stopped with a thud on the steep slope. I landed, face up, on the only snowcat track on the ski run. Celebrating that I was still alive, I assessed my body. Proceeding with the inspection, I noticed my left leg was bent at a right angle — my leg had hit a tree

during the descent. The next few days and weeks were filled with excruciating pain as I waited for medical treatment. I had a compound fracture of my left femur — my thigh bone. The length and severity of the fall had also severely injured the nerves in my leg. Two operations later and sporting a steel rod inserted the entire length of my femur, I made it back to Phoenix. As I recall, that ski run was named Rattlesnake. I couldn’t agree more with the name. Little did I know that the “fun” was just beginning. Now I faced physical therapy. I named my physical therapist “Fang!” My leg didn’t want to cooperate. It was scary for my leg to trust someone who was going to cause it more pain. My leg begged me for mercy. My leg was crying out, “I’ll never ski again.” But the rest of us in my body wanted to walk again, maybe even ski again. I had to choose between two pain-

Purim: A time to come together and celebrate BY RABBI DANA EVAN KAPLAN Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Temple Beth Shalom is the center for Jewish religious life in the West Valley, so our members are used to getting asked a wide range of questions about different aspects of Judaism. These inquiries come from a broad spectrum of individuals, many of whom are not Jewish and want to know about specific books of the Bible or a holiday they may have heard about. As rabbi of the temple, I have received several calls recently from people living in different parts of the area about Purim — the Jewish equivalent of Mardi Gras — which is celebrated this year on Feb. 26. The Jewish holiday of Purim centers on the reading of the Scroll of Esther, which tells the story of how a young Jewish girl wins a beauty contest, becomes the wife of King Ahasuerus (Xerxes), and saves the Jewish people of Persia. According to the scroll, the Day of Deliverance should be celebrated with gladness and celebration. There should be feasting (what religious holiday is complete without a good meal?) and there should be as much partying as possible. Jews who celebrate Purim dress up in costumes, which may be based on
one of the characters from Esther’s story or something more modern like superheroes or princesses. We read the scroll out loud and cheer every time one of the “good guys” is mentioned, and boo or twirl our noisemakers vigorously every time Haman — the “bad guy” — is spoken from the text. In this story, Haman wore a distinctive three-point hat, which has been transformed into an iconic three-cornered pastry called a hamantaschen (literally translated “Haman’s ear”). Our religious schoolchildren at the temple have been busy recently baking these triangular, pocket-filled cookies in a variety of flavors. I asked the students in my bar mitzvah class to tell me which flavor they liked best, and most of them chose chocolate. Personally, I prefer the raspberry ones. In these difficult times in which so many have been forced to seek assistance, it is important to note that one of the central practices of Purim is to donate to those in need.

ful choices — to trust or not trust in a painful process with a physical therapist named “Fang.” It was trust or consequences! I could stay where I was the rest of my life and never regain the full use of my leg — my leg voted for that option. Or I could trust the therapist and walk again. The rest of my body chose the second option. Fang won by a close vote. During the next few months of physical therapy, my leg reminded the rest of us in my body of how unhappy it was with our decision. However, as the months passed and after much pain, my leg came around to our way of thinking. I stand today with the full use of my leg — and have even skied again. Get the message? We can learn how to trust again. We are made to trust. It may be a painful process, but it’s well worth it. The key is not so much the issue of trust but what and who we put our trust in. The object
of our trust determines our trust level. To not trust is unnatural and severely limits the quality and potential of our lives. Next week, let’s continue to explore and reveal trust. In the meantime, here’s some wisdom. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your way acknowledge God, and God will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:6-7. Ed Delph is Phoenix native who lives in the North Valley. Since 1980, he has pastored three churches in the Valley. He is a noted author of 10 books, weekly columnist in several local and worldwide newspapers, teacher, business owner and speaker. Ed has been to or ministered in over 100 countries. He is president of a worldwide ministry, NationStrategy.

On the day of Purim, a person is obligated to give one gift each to at least two people who are less fortunate. At minimum, the gifts should be either the food eaten at a regular meal or the amount of money required to buy that meal. However, it is preferable to give more than this. In the rabbinic writings, the sages say that there is no greater joy than gladdening the hearts of orphans, widows and needy people. One who does this is compared to God, who, according to the Book of Isaiah, “revives the spirit of the humble and revives the heart of the downtrodden” (57:15). What makes Purim so well known and so beloved is the custom of masquerading in costumes. Although the holiday itself goes back at least 2,000 years, the practice of dressing up probably originated among Italian Jews at the end of the 15th century. The Jews of Rome observed the practice of Carnival, which was part of the Christian festive season before Lent. This celebration was observed in Feb-
ruary or early March, exactly at the same time that Purim was celebrated. Carnival included parades just like you would see during Mardi Gras today in New Orleans and numerous other cities around the world. Costumes and even masks allow us revelers to exchange our normal, personal identities for those of religious, historical or popular figures. While we each may dress up as vastly different characters, the impact of everyone being dressed up altogether paradoxically heightens our sense of communal unity. At this time when we feel that our society is at risk of fracturing, anything that can create more social cohesion is of potentially great value to all of us. Purim is one of the most joyous of holidays in the Jewish calendar, and yet it also includes some important lessons about familial loyalty, communal cohesion and how good people can band together to stop evil in its tracks. Rabbi Dana Evan Kaplan is the rabbi of Temple Beth Shalom of the West Valley.

Paul Buckman, 71, passed away peacefully after a brief illness on February 1, 2021 in Phoenix, Arizona. He was born in Iowa City, Iowa to Charles and Virginia Buckman. Paul married the love of his life, Gwyn "Susie" in October 1969. They enjoyed 51 years of marriage filled with love and adventure. Paul grew up in Phoenix; and upon graduation, following in his father's footsteps, he started his career as an auto mechanic. He quickly realized that he wanted to be his own boss, so he established Paul's Arizona Auto Service. He has been very successful for 50 years of business, and has many lifelong friendships with customers/friends. Most of all, Paul enjoys spending time with his family attending all of his grandkids' sporting events. He was their greatest fan! Paul also enjoyed attending all things automotive--classic car shows/cruises, racing and car museums. He was always there to support the cause. Paul loved and positively impacted all people in his life. "One life missed, many lives touched." Paul is survived by his loving wife Gwyn "Susie", his son Mike (Nicole), his daughter Kelly (Brian Koch), and his grandchildren (Cindera, Skyler and Brennyn). We will be celebrating Paul with a drive-by memorial on February 27th at 2:00pm. The drive-by will start at 6660 W. Cactus Road, Glendale, AZ 85304 and continue to 6503 W. Bloomfield Road. In lieu of flowers, you're welcome to bring any teddy bear/stuffed animal that will be donated for kids in need in Paul's name.

GESD TAKES PART IN ANNUAL CAMPAIGN TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR SAFER, HEALTHIER SCHOOLS Schools Virtually Celebrate Say Something Week in GESD
Cindy Segotta-Jones, Superintendent
Glendale Elementary School District participated in Say Something Week to raise awareness about the Sandy Hook Promise Say Something program. During the week of Feb. 8 through Feb. 12, GESD students, staff and families engaged in interactive lessons and activities to create safer, healthier schools and build a culture of looking out for one another. Today, many young people turn to online channels to express themselves, their thoughts and hopes, their anxieties and personal feelings. Some even go as far as hinting at hurting themselves or someone else. Their friends and peers are the eyes and ears of a school and community, and may see and hear these communications, but may not always understand or know what to do with that information. Say Something teaches all of this. The GESD Behavioral Health and School Safety Team helped school staff, students, and families discuss strategies to recognize warning signs, signals, and threats of potential violence and the importance of telling a trusted adult. Say Something helps equip our young people to do their part to keep our school communities safe. For more information on the Say Something program, please visit www.sandyhookpromise.org/saysomething.
