Glendale police investigating fight, shooting

Inside This Week

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Police are investigating after a reported physical altercation escalated into a shooting and vehicle pursuit over the weekend. The suspects, who were seen driving a newer, white Chrysler 300, are still at large. Police are unsure if there are three or four suspects; however, they are described as being men in their 20s and having a darker complexion. According to Sgt. Randy Stewart, a spokesperson for the Glendale Police Department, officers responded to the area of

61st and Glendale avenues in response to a shots-fired call just before 1:30 p.m. April 18. Witnesses told officers that the shooting began when two men got into a physical fight and others inside the car escalated the situation. The responding sergeant discovered a shooting in progress, but the suspects, who were inside the vehicle, fled the scene upon his arrival. Stewart said the responding sergeant fired at least two rounds toward the vehi-

cle after one suspect pointed a gun out of the window. Other officers began pursuit, later discovering the vehicle at the 6900 block of Bethany Home Road and following it to the area of 91st Avenue and Indian School Road, where they lost track of the suspects. No officers were injured, nor was anyone else injured at the scene of the shooting. Police are unsure if any of the suspects inside the vehicle were hit by the sergeant’s rounds, Stewart said.

Glendale’s City Council has supported the implementation and establishment of a Veterans Court in the city. During the April 13 city council workshop, Presiding Judge Nicholas DiPiazza unveiled details about it via a PowerPoint presentation to the governing body. With the overwhelming support of the city council, the court team can aim to open the Veterans Court on Oct. 1. The Veterans Court is an initiative that the Mayor Jerry Weiers has supported for several years. “This is something I think everybody knows I’ve been wanting to have for quite some time with the work that I do with veterans,” Weiers said. The Veterans Court’s mission is to enhance public safety and decrease the number of recidivisms among veterans, while appropriately judging cases involving veterans and ensuring justice for victims and the accused. Veterans courts throughout the country vary in approach. SEE VETERANS PAGE 3

Veterans Court is an important tool and valuable resource to Glendale and the West Valley, said Jay Crandall, city spokesperson. “A significant number of veterans who returned from Vietnam and, more recently, from Iraq and Afghanistan experienced difficulty adjusting to civilian life, often due to traumatic brain injuries, other injuries and substance abuse problems,” Crandall said. “Veterans Court aims to provide a vehicle for the VA to engage these veterans and to offer treatment and other resources and services as an alternative to jail time.” According to Crandall, nearly 95% of veterans in the criminal justice system have substance abuse issues directly related to their criminal charges. Many of these veterans are also homeless. The recidivism rate in regular courts is between 70% to 80%. In comparison with regular courts, the recidivism rates in veterans courts nationally average 25%, said Glendale City Court documents. The Lake Havasu City Veterans Court reported 5.6% recidivism after its first five years, after serving 296 veterans, according to city court documents. Deputy Court Administrator Partick Scott said achieving drug and alcohol sobriety is critical to reducing the rate of recidivism and homelessness by veterans. Veterans courts require commitment and accountability by defendants and, in return, connect veterans with assessment, comprehensive treatment plans and services tailored to their individual needs provided by the Veterans Administration.

“We already have a Mental Health Court to service part of our population that is fragile,” said Councilmember Joyce Clark, who represents the Yucca District. “This is recognition of another part of our population that is also fragile and needs extra help.” Veterans Court will also provide peer support, monitoring, support by the Veterans Administration and other local community-based support groups. “There’s another part of this that I don’t know anybody else is even thinking about; a lot of our veterans are getting into trouble and losing their jobs and their families, and next thing you know they’re homeless,” Weiers said. “If we can solve those problems before they become major problems, we’re going to start the process of starting to solve the homeless problem.” The new Veterans Court will be a collective effort led by Glendale’s City Court, defense attorneys, prosecutors, the Veterans Administration and community support service providers. The first U.S. Veterans Court was established in Buffalo, New York, in 2008. It was followed by the first Ar-

izona Veterans Court in Lake Havasu City in 2013. Since then, an administrative order was issued by Maricopa County Superior Court authorizing a collective East Valley Veterans Court, which covers Chandler, Carefree-Cave Creek, Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and Tempe. Flagstaff, Bullhead City, Mesa, Phoenix and Tucson also have municipal veterans courts. According to the Glendale City Court, a separate effort is underway in the Maricopa County Justice Courts that will accept cases from the 26 justice courts involving defendants who are veterans. “I think it’s about time we start a process for veterans through the judicial system,” said Councilmember Jamie Aldama, who represents the Ocotillo District. “Just because we start today, it doesn’t mean we immediately start seeing change. It is a process. A lot of times we just think we’re going to start tomorrow and see the results. It’s going to take time, but if we don’t start today, we’ll never start.”

Land developers give back to Glendale

HUD

Assisted Living

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Glendale-based The Mangat Group has invested nearly $35 million in land purchases in the last six months and owns roughly 1,000 acres throughout the Phoenix metro area. It most recently purchased a parcel of land in Buckeye valued at $2.5 million at the beginning of March, and by the end of the month, that same piece of land was in escrow for $5.6 million. “Land value in Arizona is increasing exponentially,” said Tony Mangat, founder of The Mangat Group. “We purchased a plot of land in Peoria for $180,000 a few years ago, which is now valued at $4 million.” Mangat founded The Mangat Group after immigrating to the United States from Punjab, India, and his company purchases and develops property primarily in the West Valley. Mangat’s first project consists of a 36-acre plot of land in Glendale off Northern Avenue and the Loop 101, which he is turning into the state’s first field hockey stadium. He plans soccer and field tennis, as well as restaurants, hotels and a fully operational media center. The $50 million sports complex will hold between 700 to 900 fans. “This is a passion project inspired by Indian religious leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale,” Mangat said.

“I wanted to leave a legacy for him, all while providing an area for children to develop and learn good values so they don’t go down the wrong path. I have hopes this will inspire kids to play more sports so they stay off drugs and live a healthier lifestyle. I wanted to improve the community by providing those opportunities.” Mangat was also motivated to build the stadium for his son’s teammates. “My son plays for the U.S. junior field hockey team, and I wanted to provide a practice field for him and his teammates, especially with the Olympics coming to Los Angeles in 2028.” In addition to the Glendale property, Mangat owns residential property in Buckeye that’s 315 acres. He plans to partner with housing developers to construct a community near the downtown area off Highway 11 and is looking for additional land purchases in the area. Mangat is developing a large truck stop on 16 acres in Black Canyon City and has plans for a gas station and fast-food restaurants on 80 acres in Tonopah. They will be breaking ground in the next 60 days on three self-storage facilities in Peoria, Glendale and Goodyear and will begin construction on two RV storage facilities — off Jomax and the 101, and Baseline and the 202 — in the next four months.

Friendly Pines to celebrate with camping kids BY LILA BALTMAN

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

In just a few short months, children will hopefully get to do what they were not able to do last summer because of COVID-19. They will pack up sleeping bags, pillows, flashlights, and duffel bags filled, with their names labeled on everything; give mom and dad a hug goodbye; and then board a bus that will take them up to Friendly Pines Camp in Prescott. Located in the cool pines of the beautiful Bradshaw Mountains, Friendly Pines Camp has become a favorite sleepaway camp tradition for thousands of families. “We’re now seeing a fourth generation of campers,” said Kevin Nissen, the long-time co-director who has worked full time with the camp for 30 years. “Many of our former campers, who are now the parents and even grandparents of current campers, tell us that they love that we’re still teaching the same, classic camp songs and square dances; still cooking Dutch oven biscuits over a campfire; and offering many of the same outdoor sports, activities and camp traditions that they remember doing.” Founded in 1941 by Bud and Isabelle Brown and accredited through the American Camp Association, Friendly Pines Camp is Arizona’s longest-running family-owned summer camp. The founders’ great-granddaughter, Megan May, is the camp’s other co-director. Designed for ages 6 to 14, this coed sleepaway camp offers more than 30 traditional camp activities, including horseback riding, swimming, waterskiing, ball sports, rock climbing, performing arts, fine arts, pet care, fenc-

My faith and hopes are restored by Suns BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

Quick to hold a grudge yet molasses slow to forgive an enemy. That will be my epitaph. It also explains why I’m having a difficult time with the Phoenix Suns these days. The Suns were a big reason I moved west in 1995. They had Charles Barkley, upon whom I had spent much of my grad school stipend buying cheap seats in Philly’s old Spectrum arena. If Phoenix was good enough for Chuck, hey, who was I to argue? Two years after Suns fans had their hearts broken in the 1993 NBA Finals by Michael Jordan’s Bulls, I moved to Phoenix armed with all manner of purple hats and regalia. Over the next 15 years, I watched, listened or attended the next thousand Suns games in a row. True story: I so loved the 2007 Steve Nash-led Suns, I traveled to San Antonio for games three and four of that franchise-changing playoff series against the loathsome Spurs. I was in the stands when Robert Horry hip-checked Nash into the scorer’s table. The ensuing mayhem caused Amar’e Stoudemire and Boris Diaw to leave the bench — earning each a

one-game suspension — and required me to be physically restrained from punching a Spurs fan in the postgame taxi line. Not my finest moment as a human. And the Suns losing to the Spurs remains my biggest heartbreak as a sports

fanatic. The Purple Gang never really recovered from that debacle. They won 55 games the next season but again lost to the Spurs in the playoffs. Coach Mike D’Antoni left; front-office bumbling began. By 2010, owner Robert Sarver had parlayed the mythic “Seven Seconds or Less” squad into a sub-.500 bunch that wasted Nash’s prime. I shared season tickets with a buddy that year and seeing Sarver strut about so annoyed me. I began to give my seats away — and skip watching games. By 2012, I couldn’t have picked most Suns’ players out of a police lineup, a useful attribute when the team’s roster featured Marcus and Markieff Morris. Then, a couple years ago, a strange thing happened: This franchise somehow found its way. Sarver slipped into the background, perhaps having realized that being a quiet disliked rich

guy who owns a winning team is more profitable than being a loud disliked rich guy who owns a loser. They drafted Devin Booker, who scores at will; inked world-class human Monty Williams as coach; and landed Deandre Ayton, a 6-foot-11 mountain with Shaq-esque potential. This iteration of the Suns grabbed the NBA’s attention by going 8-0 in last year’s COVID-19 “bubble,” then traded for point guard Chris Paul, a

sure Hall of Famer. With the playoffs looming, Phoenix has the league’s second-best record. Few pundits are shouting “title contender,” but with LeBron James gimpy, anything is possible in this odd, pandemic-mired season. I find myself wanting to care about the Suns again, but wary, on guard, over-cautious. Will Sarver bust out his old foam finger? Will Manu Ginobili, age 133

What does a power of attorney do? BY JUDGE GERALD A. WILLIAMS North Valley Justice of the Peace

A general durable power of attorney is arguably the most powerful legal document you can sign. It can allow someone to sell your house or to buy one in your name. The same is true with vehicles. If someone appoints you as their agent through a power of attorney, you can open credit cards and loans in their name. A power of attorney can be a great tool as long as you trust the person you are giving it to. If not, it can trigger a disaster. When I was an Air Force judge advocate, or “JAG,” we would offer powers of attorney for military members who were deploying overseas. It was frequently a checklist item for our soldiers, sailors and airmen. Military power of attorneys had some unique wording, such as automatically renewing if you were taken as a prisoner of war; but all of the other concepts were similar. If you have family members who are elderly, a power of attorney can be a valuable tool. It can potentially be used to avoid the need to seek the appointment of a fiduciary. So, what is a power of attorney? If you sign a power of attorney, you are stating that you want another person to have the ability to sign legal documents on your behalf. A general power of attorney is designed to cover every type of legal document (e.g., real estate transactions, investments, banking transactions, insurance or legal claims, government benefits, etc.).

The Glendale Star

A durable power of attorney remains effective even if the person who signed it becomes incapacitated. A.R.S. § 14-5501. So, what do you do if your grandfather wants to give you a power of attorney but only wants it to be effective in the event he develops mental problems? In such a situation, a springing general durable power of attorney that becomes effective only upon the disability of the principal could work. One place where a general power of attorney probably will not work is with the IRS. They will likely want you to use their own special power of attorney form, called an IRS Form 2848. Arizona, like every state, also allows someone to designate someone to make health care decisions on their behalf. Health care powers of attorney allow someone other than the patient to consent to medical and to surgical care, as well as a make a decision to withhold care. A.R.S. § 36-3224. In spite of all of this potentially delegated authority, a power of attorney cannot actually make someone an attorney. If someone gives you a power of attorney, you most likely will not be able to speak in a courtroom on their behalf. Judge Williams is the justice of the peace for the North Valley Justice Court. The court’s jurisdiction includes parts of Anthem, Desert Hills, Glendale and Phoenix.

Is national pastime baseball now a time past? BY JD HAYWORTH

Glendale Star Columnist

Little more than a month after he called Dec. 7, 1941, a “Day of Infamy” and led America into World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt paused from his duties as commander-in-chief to assume the mantle of “First Fan.” In a letter to Commissioner Kennesaw Mountain Landis dated Jan. 15, 1942, FDR requested that “baseball keep going.” President Roosevelt believed it was important to stateside morale that our nation find respite from the rigors of wartime and that our “national pastime” could provide it. Had a “woke” culture (as opposed to an awakened populace) existed in the early 1940s, there would have been plenty of complaints. Major League Baseball was a segregated sport (it would not integrate until after the war); there were no “workers’ rights” for players, because teams “owned”

them contractually; and the quality of competition suffered as the game’s young players volunteered for military service. Despite rosters filled with older, younger and medically discharged players, baseball continued during the war years and cemented its spot in the annals of Americana alongside hot dogs and apple pie — or so it seemed. Now, almost 80 years after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, a different president has called on Major League Baseball in a very different way, and MLB has answered the call by joining in a political attack on the state of Georgia, as well as an economic assault on the “majority minority” city of Atlanta. History may record Joe Biden as the 46th president of the United States, but he was batting leadoff when it came to bashing Georgia. Appearing on ESPN’s coverage of opening day, President Biden turned Major League Base-

ball into a “political football,” calling on MLB to move the All-Star Game out of the Peach State. Hyperbole is an omnipresent reality in American political speech, but Mr. Biden’s false charges plumbed new depths. He described the new Georgia Election Reform Law as an “atrocity,” added that it was “Jim Crow on steroids,” and mistakenly claimed time and again that Georgia was closing the polls at 5 p.m. on Election Day. It was that final falsehood that drew the ire of no less a progressive publication than The Washington Post. On March 30, the Post turned “fact checker” on the chief executive’s repetition of the falsehood. The newspaper correctly pointed out that polls in Georgia remain open until 7 p.m. on Election Day, and gave the president four “Pinocchios” for his deliberate use of disinformation. Yet “Geppetto” Biden continues to pull strings (or more accurately, yank chains) by continuing to make that false claim. Unfortunately, other publications lend credence to the incredible. Because the new Georgia Law requires voter ID, Politico frets that it “could potentially restrict voting access.” But shouldn’t voting access be limited to legal, registered voters who can confirm their identity? With the White House using the “bully pulpit” to bully others, a compliant target was found in MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred. No “Mighty Manfred” by any stretch of the imagination, the commissioner collapsed in the wake of the woke onslaught. In his official statement of April 2, Commissioner Manfred fashioned a

rhetorical spitball: “I have decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating this year’s All-Star Game…” While Rob Manfred got rolled, the Rockies were rewarded in the rush to relocate. Yes, Virginia (or more appropriately, Georgia) … there is a Colorado, and that’s where this year’s Midsummer Classic will now be played. If you’re scoring at home, let’s review what MLB is calling the best way to demonstrate values. The game was pulled from Atlanta, a city with a population that is 51% Black, and moved to Denver, with a 10% minority populace. Moreover, the Atlanta area, historically known as a center of Black commerce, will lose an estimated $100 million. So much for “racial justice.” Conversely, Colorado, a state with what NBC News describes as “expansive voting laws” but more accurately identified as “ballot fraud friendly,” given its policy priorities of same-day voter registration and elections conducted primarily by mail, will prosper — at least in the short term. The implications are clear. MLB has chosen to “play ball” with Biden and, in so doing, has chosen sides politically. It is an error of major league proportions. J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10 Phoenix from 1987 until 1994. He was also the Cactus League “Voice of the Chicago Cubs” on KCKY Radio from 1991 to 1993, and the inaugural play-by-play “Voice of the Arizona Fall League” in 1992. Hayworth represented Arizona in the U.S. Congress from 1995 to 2007. His grandfather, Ray Hayworth, was a Major League catcher for 15 seasons.

Glendale’s Bears & More helps save children’s lives BY ALLISON BROWN

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

Valerie Burner, the owner of Bears & More, enjoys Historic Downtown Glendale, her neighbors and her work. She called that the secret to her nearly 30-year success. Bears & More is a collectible store with teddy bears, other stuffed animals, games, puzzles and “vintage treasures.” “There are hours and hours of stories and favorites,” Burner said. “We’ve made a lot of friends — lifelong friends. It’s been an amazing journey.” Bears & More hosts an annual Teddy Bear Day, during which it fundraises with a lemonade stand, sells its homegrown vegetables and asks customers to purchase bears for first responders to give to children. This year it’s Sept. 11. “We have been able to provide over 10,000 bears to the Phoenix and Glendale police departments, child crisis centers, emergency rooms as well as Glendale and Phoenix fire depart-

Officers Jeff Horsely, John Doe and Greg Mills show off teddy bears at Bears & More, which celebrates its 39th anniversary this year. (Photo courtesy of Valerie Burner)

ments,” Burner said. Glendale Fire Department public information officer Capt. Ashley Losch said her office has received hundreds

of bears over the years, and they use every one. The bears are given to kids who were involved in a traumatic situation — themselves or a family member.

“We found that using the teddy bear with a child was a really wonderful way to ease their anxiety and give them something to hold on to,” Losch said. “Let’s say they were in a car accident and they’re scared and their parent is hurt. Being able to give them (a bear) to hold onto makes them feel safer. It connects us with them. By giving them the bear, they’re more inclined to allow us to treat them without going into hysterics.” Losch said in one situation, a 3-yearold girl was playing with the family dog when the animal bit her face and literally tore part of it off. Upon arrival, Losch give her a trauma teddy bear and told the girl if she was hurt or scared, she could squeeze it and it would keep her safe. This immediately eased the girl’s fear, according to Losch, and they could treat her easily because she was distracted by the bear. More than being a comfort item, the bears can provide insight into how the SEE BEARS PAGE 17

Home searches crowded despite rising costs BY LISA R. BAKER

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

If you’re searching for a home and it seems a little crowded out there, there’s a reason. According to ShowingTime, the platform Realtors use to schedule most of the MLS showings, showings of Peoria listings in the $300,000 to $399,999 range averaged 23.3 showings per listing, and Peoria traffic in the $200,000 to $299,999 range averaged 25.1 showings per listing. In Glendale, homes in the $300,000 to $399,999 range averaged 20.7 showings per listings, and in the $200,000 to $299,999, the average was 24.2 showings per listing. These numbers are double and triple the numbers of showings per listing from just one year ago. Considering a closing typically takes 30 days, and the average days on the market is down to 34 days, nearly all of these showings are taking place in the first couple of

days a listing is active. Very crowded indeed. And not all showings are scheduled through ShowingTime, so actual numbers are typically higher. And prices continue to climb. According to The Cromford Report, 50% of sales closed in Maricopa County in March sold for an amount over the listing price. That’s not only up from 41% of February sales but a sharp increase from the 33% average we’d been seeing consistently since August 2020. March 2021 saw 450 MLS listing sales closed in Glendale and 408 in Peoria. Today there are 106 active and available listings (not counting properties already under contract or pending close of escrow) in MLS in Glendale and 110 active listings in Peoria. That’s 23.5% of one month’s inventory in Glendale, down from 37.8% in

March, and 27% of one month’s inventory in Peoria, down from 38.6%. Today’s Maricopa County inventory is 39.9% of March’s closed sales, down from 50.3% in February. According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates are holding steady. As of April 15, national mortgage rates reported U.S. weekly averages of 3.04% for a 30-year fixed rate, 2.35% for a 15year fixed rate and 2.8% for a five-year ARM. March entry-level prices for a detached home with three bedrooms and two baths in the West Valley for buyers using FHA financing saw minimums of $190,000 in Maricopa County, $250,000 in Glendale, and $240,000 in Peoria. Conventional financing buyers saw minimums of $177,000 in Maricopa County, $257,400 in Peoria, and $253,000 in Glendale. Maricopa County VA buyers paid a minimum of $220,000, Peoria VA buyers paid $308,000, and Glendale VA buyers

paid a minimum of $287,000. According to MLS statistics, the number of Maricopa County buyers who financed their purchases in March held steady at 78%. Conventional financing made up 73.6% of those sales, FHA financing 10.1%, VA financing 5.7%, and the remaining sales used other financing methods. For the week ending March 28, only 4% of Maricopa County sellers contributed to buyers’ closing costs. If your finances are getting a little crowded, please know that you are not alone. If you’re a homeowner, contact your lender to see what programs they are offering. If you’re a tenant, rental assistance is available through the Arizona Department of Housing website at saveourhomeaz.gov. If you’re a landlord, apply for aid at arizonatogether.org/grants. Lisa R. Baker is a Realtor and community volunteer Glendale. She can be reached at Me@LisaRBaker.com.

child is feeling. “Often, and especially at 3 years old, they don’t verbalize ‘I’m scared.’ They’re just crying, and you don’t know if they are just scared or hurt,” Losch said. “So, we can just say ‘Squeeze the bear if you are hurt’ and it really helps.” Bears & More’s Teddy Bear Day also helps a group called Arizona Search Dogs and has done so for over 15 years. The organization isn’t given bears. Instead, Arizona Search Dogs receives proceeds from Bears & More’s fresh lemonade or home-grown vegetables sales. Burner said they were looking for different organizations to sponsor when she saw a picture of a yellow Labrador puppy who had been selected to become a search dog. Her brotherin-law worked with the Glendale Fire Department, so he connected Burner with Arizona Search Dogs and they quickly became partners. “We fell in love with the people,” Burner said. “We truly believe that this is important work. Should I, or any of

us, ever need finding, we want (the dogs) to be ready to find us. Surprisingly, they’ve been deployed where we have family or friends. Even if it seems like they work far away and across the country, it’s not. Someone’s family was there.” Arizona Search Dogs spends about two years and 2,000 hours training puppies into crisis search and rescue dogs, according to John Dean, its team captain. “We are one of 28 FEMA-sponsored task forces throughout the country that are deployed to national disasters,” Dean said. “(We responded) to disasters such as 9/11, wildfires in Oregon, the Oso mudslide in Washington and the Dallas-Fort Worth tornado. The dogs are part of the search-and-rescue component.” Dean said the dogs are trained to bark an alert when they catch the victim’s scent. Then the dog’s handler rewards the dog and brings the rescue team to rescue the person. About 10 years ago, they started training dogs to find dead bodies as well, because they felt it was important

to return victims to their families for a proper ceremony. The dogs are trained the same way. “What’s neat is that with all the technology we have, there’s really nothing that can replace the dog right now, as far as the ability and accuracy of the nose and finding out where the victim is in a short amount of time,” Dean said. Bears & More has provided at least seven dogs for Arizona Search Dogs, at the cost of about $2,500 per dog, plus the cost of travel to obtain them. By helping Arizona Search Dogs to get more dogs, the store’s contribution has helped save lives around the country. “Without the bear folks, we would have been ‘Arizona Search Dog’ instead of Arizona Search Dogs,” Dean said. “They’re just one of our biggest, longest, most loyal supporters. We think the world of them.”

Coyotes’ call-ups making difference during playoff push BY MICHAEL GUTNICK Cronkite News

Three years ago, Conor Garland earned his call-up from the Tucson Roadrunners. Within the first two months of his rookie season on the Arizona Coyotes, Garland made an immediate impact, scoring goals left and right, including one off his face — a testament to his hard-nosed character. Even before that, Garland knew he didn’t have much time to make a difference in the lineup. “I knew I wasn’t going to get many chances,” said Garland, who has 31 points in 43 games during his third season with the Coyotes. “I knew I couldn’t have too many bad games. I played those 50-so games that year like game sevens. I was exhausted after that season. I had some bad nights, but I’ve given it everything I have.” It’s those types of mindsets that Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet has searched for throughout the shortened 2020-21 season, and his fortunes have been working. Following a season-long, nine-game road trip, the Coyotes remain in the thick of the Honda West Division playoff race, swapping places with the St. Louis Blues seemingly daily for the fourth and final postseason spot. But the team wouldn’t be where it’s at without the help of the newly constructed taxi squad. “We’re a scrappy team in the sense that sometimes we don’t look pretty, but we have contributions from 1 to 21,” Tocchet said of his team’s identity. “Hilly (Adin Hill) is battling and holding the fort until we get some other guys back. I think we’re a team that needs everyone to give us an inch. For the most part, most guys have contributed game in and game out. That’s really important for our team.” Players on taxi squads can be put on active NHL rosters by 5 p.m. Eastern

ting has been the recent beneficiary of a hard-working mindset, and his goal-scoring outburst has instantly brought an uptick in the Coyotes’ offense. Since his call-up from the taxi squad on March 27, Bunting has tallied six goals and seven points in his first 11 games, which have all been on the road. “He’s underrated in the sense that he’s got a really sneaky shot and some sneaky speed,” Tocchet said after Bunting scored his first career hat trick in a 5-2 win against the Los Angeles Kings on April 5. “He’s a guy that goes to the net. … All these goals, they’re 15 feet from the net. He’s not afraid to get in front of some people’s faces. He’s definitely added a net-front presence with a sneaky shot.” Bunting played over 300 games in Tucson before earning a chance at the highest level this season. The forward, 25, has been grateful for his current ice time with the Coyotes. “It’s been quite the road to get here,” said Bunting, who has five goals in his last seven games. “I talk with (Tucson Roadrunners coach) Steve Potvin a lot. He always says to take it day by day. … I just got to keep this rolling and keep playing my game to be able to help stay in this lineup for the playoff push. I think we’re more than capable of doing that.” Bunting’s maturity with the Coyotes has helped him pursue a physical edge when scoring goals and making plays in the offensive zone. “I’m very happy with where my mindset is, and I just got to keep taking it day by day,” said Bunting, who was SEE COYOTES PAGE 19

selected as a fourth-round draft pick in the 2014 NHL draft. “I’m just going to stay focused and stay on my game plan.” Bunting and Garland were teammates on the Roadrunners during the 2018-19 season. Now, they’re linemates as part of the Coyotes’ rejuvenated top-six forward core. “He’s an easy guy to play with,” Garland said. “Me and him have some similar qualities in our game. We feed off each other pretty well. … He’s a sticky player. We both like to retrieve pucks. He’s a competitive guy, someone I played a lot of hockey with.” “We’ve picked up where we left off up here,” Bunting added on his chemistry with Garland. “It’s fun playing with him and Schmaltzy (Nick Schmaltz) up the middle; it’s even better. I just get open, make space for them and bury my chances.” Forward Lane Pederson, an alternate captain with Tucson, has also made his presence felt with a goal in four games since his early April call-up. That goal came in his NHL debut on April 3,

The Glendale Star when Arizona defeated the Ducks 4-2 at Honda Center. The Coyotes wrapped up their road trip on a five-game losing streak but have maintained their current position in the divisional race, which has tightened with the San Jose Sharks and Kings now suddenly with postseason chances in the final three weeks of the regular season. The call-up contributions have certainly increased their much-needed depth scoring, but the fourth-year coach is calling on his main stars to rise to the occasion with a back-toback postseason berth hanging in the balance. “You’re always looking for depth to contribute, but you’re also looking for other guys to contribute,” Tocchet said. “We need some of them to start putting more pucks into the net for us and make some big plays. That’s really what it comes down to. For the most part, our effort is there. We just need more of those big moments.” For more stories from Cronkite News, visit cronkitenews.azpbs.org.

Bull Shooters continues to help the neighborhood BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor

Mike Bates, a former star baseball player at Apollo High School and Phoenix College, didn’t want his love for sports to wane. He joined an adult softball team and, naturally, after each game they headed to sports bars to reminisce. Unexpectedly, he bought a sports bar, Six Shooters, in 2008 and rebranded it Bull Shooters Billiards & Sports Bar. However, the battle to obtain a liquor license turned into a fight to save the neighborhood. In its last three months, Six Shooters had 23 calls for police service before Bates took it over, he said. Last year, Bull Shooters didn’t require police to visit once. “We had to persuade the neighborhood, the police department, everybody, because they all voted against the opening. Then they gave me six months to prove I was worth it,” said Bates, a Glendale resident, in the dartboard room of his bar. Bates proved the 29,000-square-foot Bull Shooters would be family friendly, an asset to the community and a stellar business partner, and he was granted a liquor license. He created a business-homeowner alliance to help upgrade the neighborhood. “It’s about rejuvenating this area,” he said. “They were ready to close this shopping center and tear it down if we didn’t take this space. “The only big thing here when we came in was Laser Quest. They had an agreement or whatever that said if it wasn’t 50% occupied, they could get out of there.”

During the pandemic, Bates grabbed his staff and visited a different restaurant regularly to boost sales. Bates made many upgrades, including adding the world’s best pool tables — the Diamond tables. The restaurant is owned and operated by Bates and his family. His wife, Julie, cooks homemade food, and his daughter, Jamie, is a manager. The room boasts 50-plus largescreen plasma TVs, 45 billiards tables, 20 dartboards, shuffleboard, foosball, 30 draft beers including craft, off-track horses, homemade food, and karaoke after 9 p.m. “It’s like Walmart or Disneyland for adults,” Bates said with a laugh. “You can buy lottery tickets and scratchers here. We have karaoke at night, dart leagues at night. My wife makes the best homemade green chili.”

“This isn’t just bar food,” said Bates, who was drafted four times by the MLB. Bull Shooters has been voted the best billiards or pool hall in Arizona five times and the best in America by Pool and Billiards Magazine. Additionally, it has been voted the Best Dart Hall in America. It’s a logical award for Bates, who switched his attention from baseball to softball to darts. He soon found success in that, too, being named to the National Dart Hall of Fame in 2010 and the American Art Hall of Fame in 2012. Through dart competitions, he’s raised $250,000 for charities, including $11,000 for the Granite Mountain Hotshots.

“We have our differences and all that,” he said about dart players. “But when it’s something like that, we all come together and support each other. Every year, we do the St. Mary’s Food Bank benefit. It’s funny because they left one of the boxes behind. It’s by our front door. I looked at it yesterday and it’s full again. That says a lot for our guests.”

Comparing COVID-19, the flu and the common cold BY BY ROBERT MEDINA AND TARA STORJOHANN

Glendale Star Contributing Writers

More than a year ago, the term “COVID-19” was nowhere to be found in our vocabulary. We were at the tail end of the “cold and flu season” and were looking forward to the spring and summer seasons. Little did we know our lives would be forever changed by this new virus. The uncertainty of the virus brought hysteria, anxiety and even hoarding of toilet paper. Let’s just say 2020 was one that we do not want to repeat. Thankfully, a year later, we are at the brink of overcoming this pandemic. However, there are individuals who have been fortunate to not become infected by the virus but are still at risk, and individuals who are hesitant about receiving the vaccine. What is the difference between COVID-19, the common cold and the flu infections? To help answer this question, let’s begin with the mechanism behind how each virus infects the human body. All three infections are caused by a different type of virus. The SARs-CoV-2 causes COVID-19 infections, influenza A or B causes the flu infection, and rhinoviruses can cause a common cold infection. The National Institute of Health defines a virus as a small group of DNA or RNA surrounded by a “coat” that needs a home (human cells) to multiply. Most of the time, the virus kills the cell during this process, leading to damage of the home. All three infections can affect the respiratory tract, which can make it hard to determine which infection you may have. There are a few signs and symptoms that are common between the three. These include cough, sore throat and a runny or stuffy nose. COVID-19 and flu infections can present as body aches, fevers, fatigue, muscle aches, shortness of breath as well as the aforementioned symptoms. Distinctively, COVID-19 is known to cause loss of taste and/or smell, which rarely occurs in flu and common cold infections. Anyone who is concerned

or uncertain about their symptoms should contact their health care provider. Most symptoms overlap between each infection, and there is also the possibility of being infected by more than one virus at once. It is always best to speak with a health care professional to help determine the best route of care. Is wearing a mask effective at preventing COVID-19 infections? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have been at the forefront for making recommendations and guidance statements to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Wearing masks is one of the main precautions recommended by the CDC. The purpose of wearing a mask is to protect other individuals from respiratory droplets. Masks are a simple barrier that help to catch droplets that are expelled when we talk, cough, sneeze, shout or sing. It is a common misconception that masks offer us full protection from other’s respiratory contaminants. Although wearing a mask offers some self-protection, CDC is studying how well masks protect you from breathing in the virus. Factors such as the type of fabric, the number of layers of fabric, and the overall mask fit are being assessed to help determine protection. The more we wear our masks, the more prevention and protection we have in decreasing the spread of our respiratory droplets to others. Can any of the COVID-19 vaccines on the market infect you with COVID-19? No, simply put, none of the vaccines on the market can infect you with the virus. No part of the vaccine contains the live virus. There are two vaccines, produced by Pfizer and Moderna, that received emergency authorization by the FDA to aid in the prevention of

COVID-19 (Johnson & Johnson was temporarily pulled from the market). The vaccines work by allowing your body to produce antibodies so you can fight the virus if exposed. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use a messenger RNA (mRNA) mechanism for antibody production, and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses an adenovirus vector mechanism to develop antibodies. Although these are two different mechanisms, all three vaccines help to stimulate antibody production. We can look at this process like putting together a piece of furniture. When you receive a vaccine, you are getting a microscopic instruction manual. This manual tells your body to create a specific protein (builds the furniture). Our immune system then creates antibodies to recognize this protein in the future. Let’s say we are then exposed to COVID-19 (new piece of furniture) that is made up of a similar protein. Our body is ready to recognize and defend

itself because it is prepared. It has read the instruction manual. This process requires our immune system to work extremely hard and can cause symptoms such as fever and fatigue. These symptoms are not to be confused with similar symptoms caused by COVID-19. Hopefully the end of the pandemic is near. Hang in there and continue to follow the recommendations put forth by factual sources like the CDC and FDA. We will soon overcome this pandemic.

Conquering your outer space and inner space A professor stood before his class with items on the table in front of him. When class began, he picked up a large and empty mayonnaise jar and filled it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. Then the professor picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. Of course, the pebbles rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. The sand filled up everything else. He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “yes.” “Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things — your family, your partner, your health and your children — things that if you lost everything else and only they remained, your life would still be whole. The pebbles are the other things that matter — like your job,

your house, your car. “The sand is everything else — the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same applies to your life. “If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the essential things. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, have a dinner party or fix the disposal. Take care of the rocks first — the things that matter. Set your priorities. After all, the rest is just sand.” Consider this. All it takes is one shaping event, one bad medical report, one significant failure or one person

spirit lives forever. Don’t allow earthly stuff to crowd out heavenly stuff. In many ways, the entire life of Jesus was about setting priorities and adhering to them. When He said “Let the dead bury the dead” to the excuse-filled man, He was speaking about the wisdom of not being distracted from the most critical issues in life, even in those emergencies that claim our attention (Matthew 6:3). In other words, get your priorities straight and everything else will fall into place. Give your time, energy and resources to the matters that matter. Don’t fear failure. Instead, fear succeeding at something that doesn’t matter. That’s sand when it could have been a rock. As a society, we’ve conquered outer space but not our inner space. Your spiritual life or inner life is a rock issue. According to the Scriptures, your spiritual life depends on where you will spend your eternal life. We humans don’t always have our best interests in mind. Let’s change that. Let’s make our inner space at least as necessary as our outer space. Here’s some wisdom about spiritual SEE SPACE PAGE 23

you love who just died to discover what matters in life. Don’t let the small stuff take up your time, energy and resources. An unknown author of this story notes, “Refuse to fight small battles with petty people. Your life is bigger and better than that.” Melchor Kim says, “Truthfully, the most important thing in life is knowing what the most important things in life are and prioritizing them accordingly. Maturity is not when we start speaking big things. It is when we start understanding small things.” Suman Rai says, “When we start to recognize that we don’t have all the time in the world, we see our priorities most clearly.” Recently, my friend Dick Knights and I were fishing. He made an observation that refocused my priorities. He noted these current COVID-19 times have revealed that most people are obsessed with their physical health but not their spiritual health. They will do anything to preserve their physical lives and do next to nothing about preserving their spiritual lives. We humans are a spirit, we have a soul and we live in a body.

and physical health. “Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.” Do you see that? God wants you to be healthy in your soul and body. We need peace with God to have the peace of God. What good is it if we have health in our body but not in our soul and spirit? God doesn’t want something from us. God wants something for us. Maybe it’s time for us to remove the mask off our spiritual face by believing in God, Jesus and eternal life.

Family’s story yields $5K scholarship BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Glendale Star Executive Editor

Sami Al-Asady’s mother and father have seen their fair share of tragedy. His mother grew up in Bosnia and witnessed genocide. She moved to the United States, where free speech is promised. On his father’s side, Al-Asady’s uncle and grandfather were slaughtered by Saddam Hussein’s secret police because they protested his regime. “When I grew up learning about their experiences, this was really life changing,” Al-Asady said. “I came to realize the rights the Constitution gives us are such important lessons. My family emigrated to the United States, and

my dad told immigration workers it was because of the Constitution. Free speech is protected.” Those horrors gave the Ironwood High School senior a “good perspective” on his identity. He took those experiences and parlayed them into a second place-winning paper in a Free Speech Essay Contest sponsored by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education. His prize was a $5,000 scholarship. The organization received nearly 3,000 entries from across the country.

OBITUARIES Michael Gene Hart Michael Gene Hart, beloved husband, died on March 12, 2021 at age 67, after a heartbreaking battle with cancer. Born on May 23, 1953, in Tucson, AZ, to Lt. Colonel Gene Hart, USAF, and Charmaine Donohue; Michael grew up primarily in Tucson and Phoenix, AZ, and Albuquerque, NM. Michael found stability, direction, and community from his fellow students, teachers, and the Catholic brothers of The Abbey School in Canon City, CO; attending from 1967 until graduation in 1971. Next for Michael, the University of the Pacific in Stockton, CA, graduating from Raymond College in 1975. An "acting bug" took him to New York City where he studied at the Stella Adler Studio of Acting. He eventually gave up the stage for graduate studies in journalism at the University of Arizona in Tucson. His first job after graduate school in 1990 was as Executive Editor of The Glendale Star and Peoria Times in the Phoenix metropolitan area. It was here that he learned to love community journalism, an interest that landed him a job with the Los Angeles Times in 1998, where he edited for "Our Times," a news section focusing on the vast diversity of L.A. neighborhoods. When "Our Times" was eliminated, Michael found another "local" niche in the business-to-business magazine realm. He edited, first, the San Fernando Valley branch of the L.A. Business Journal then moved on to Editor-in-Chief of Tradeshow Week in the Reed Elsevier family of publications. Even with the waning of print journalism, Michael worked in various capacities for the "B-to-B" world until his untimely death. Michael married Susan Hunt in Tucson on November 28, 1985. They shared a passion for travel, art, opera, books, liberal causes, dining out, and their beloved cats—to name a few. Though they opted to remain childfree, Michael and Susan found community and family through the Unitarian Universalist (UU) church where they immersed themselves in social activism. Always a leader, Michael served on various boards, including his final role as Board President of the Pacific Southwest District of the UU Association. Of course, ever the journalist, he also wrote for UU World, the magazine of the national UU Association. After 22 years in Los Angeles (and many fine moments at Dodger Stadium), Michael and Susan returned to Tucson and their beloved Sonoran Desert in 2020. In addition to his wife, Susan, Michael is survived by his half-sisters, Shirley Crotwell, Carol Castillo, and Sandy Bass; all of the greater Albuquerque area. Michael's ashes will be interred in the Memorial Garden of the UU Church of Phoenix at a date to be determined. To honor Michael, please consider a donation to Street Symphony, an L.A. organization that engages those affected by homelessness and incarceration through musical performances, workshops, and teaching. Donation link: https://streetsymphony.kindful.com/ Once an amount is chosen and submitted, you can choose the type of gift and provide Michael's name.

Tips for Having a Great Garage Sale! 1. Sort through your closets, cupboards and garage for items to sell. 2. Partner up with a neighbor or friend. This is helpful to give each other breaks during the day. 3. Advertise your sale — ask us for our Yard Sale Special! 4. In your ad include the type of sale, (e.g., Yard Sale, Multi-Family Sale), date, time, address/ cross streets, and be specific on prices for high dollar items. Popular items you can include: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, yard equipment, designer/children’s clothes and shoes, craft items, antiques, unique items and collectibles/ collections. 5. Place signs on major cross streets and on the corners leading into your neighborhood. Just a fat, solid black arrow on colorful poster board works fine. 6. Price your items. If having a Multi-Family sale, each family should have a different colored price tag. You can do a $1 table, $5 table, etc., to save time. 7. Money. Be prepared with change, including coins. Do not accept checks. Cash only! 8. Have electricity available to test items. 9. Be safe. Do not let anyone into your home. Take your phone outside with you Have an extra person relieve you occasionally. 10. If it’s warm, offer cold bottled water for sale to cool off your customers! Happy customers buy things! 11. After the sale, remove your signs and donate leftover items to a local charity.
