City gets ready to ﬂy with Luke BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Everyone else in the West Valley is taking off—why not Luke Air Force Base? As Goodyear, Buckeye and Avondale populations ascend and Glendale expands via annexation and dramatic commercial projects (Red Bull, White Claw, a planned water park), the historic air base in the bull’s-eye of the West Valley is hardly about to be grounded. Indeed, Luke is getting ready to soar like never before. A mission expansion revolving around 144 new fighter jets is set to pump Luke AFB’s population—and the surrounding areas of Glendale and Peoria, as well as Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Avondale to the south. Details of the expansion’s impact came

Masks on as PUSD reopens classrooms BY TOM SCANLON

October 1, 2020

Last week, teacher Caitlin Summers’ kindergarten students at Desert Valley Elementary School learned a new phrase: “Nose check!”’ That was her shortcut to remind kids about a new thing. “If I can see their nose, they have to pull the mask up,” Summers said. Then again, she added, for kindergarten kids, everything is new. But, for the first- and second-graders in the Peoria Unified School District who returned to classrooms last week for the first time in nearly six months, and for all other grades who returned Sept. 28, wearing masks to school is something very new. They will also see hand sanitizer dispensers around their schools and desks with extra space to reduce the potential

spread of coronavirus. The COVID-19 pandemic led Gov. Doug Ducey to close Arizona schools in March. In recent months, he allowed districts discretion to open schools when they felt it was safe. PUSD rolled out reopening classrooms over a two-week period. Other districts are taking a more cautious approach. At Glendale Elementary School District, “Based on these health metrics, and as long as the data continues to be favorable, we project we will be able to reopen our schools on Monday, Oct. 19,” according to the district’s website. Similarly, according to a Glendale Union High School District announcement, “We will begin welcoming back students for our hybrid learning model beginning Oct. 19.” SEE PUSD PAGE 4

of work,” he noted. Litchfield Park and Goodyear also welcomed the study’s outline of growth. “The city of Goodyear is home to many military families, and we are very supportive of our men and women in service,” Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said. “We welcome these service members and their families to our community with open arms.” The Goodyear mayor has personal reasons to be excited about the expansion. “As a military spouse for many years, I know the sacrifices these families make for our country and I am always proud of their contributions. They deserve a great place to call home for the time they are here, and I hope that they will be able to enjoy all that our region has to offer,” Lord said. What might be called a financial contrail in the jets’ wake is expected to be huge. By 2026, the defense spending in support of Luke AFB is expected to support approximately 13,900 total jobs, $820 million in total compensation and $1.5 billion in value-added impacts to the West Valley, according to the MAG study. Base-supported jobs are projected to generate an average annual compensation of $59,400 per job. And the impact is far greater than military jobs, with Department of Defense civilian contracts and goods and services that support them. Five percent of Arizona ZIP codes have a higher concentration of defense contracts than the national average— and Goodyear 85338 has a 32% higher “location quotient” compared with the national average, according to the study. In 2012, the Department of Defense designated Luke Air Force Base as the training home of 144 new F-35A Lightning II fighter jets. The F-35A mission at Luke Air Force Base is projected to grow the local defense economy by 25%, with 90% of Luke AFB job impacts projected to occur in Glendale, Surprise, Goodyear and Avondale. In all, direct defense spending is anticipated to increase by nearly $220 million, according to the study. By 2023, the defense spending in support of Luke AFB is expected to bring not only 2,200 service jobs but also pro-

vide 14,000 jobs, $820 million in total compensation and $1.5 billion in “value-added impacts” to the West Valley, according to the MAG study. The goal of the Luke AFB Targeted Growth Management Plan was to analyze four key areas: education, workforce and economic development, housing and transportation. The study’s conclusion: “The analysis of the four key sectors indicates the West Valley is well-positioned to absorb the growth generated by the mission expansion and by more people moving to the surrounding communities.” The 2,000-plus service jobs will bring twice as many to the West Valley. “Many of those service members have families,” said Brig. Gen. Kreuder. He noted they are expected to be joined by an additional 4,717 household members, growing the base-related population to 23,704 by 2026. “Through these strategies, we will accommodate growth and provide both existing and new residents the best possible life experiences,” he said. According to the study, the Luke expansion will create “significant demand

for gasoline stations, electronics and appliance stores, sporting goods, hobby, books and music stores (with an emphasis in sporting goods), furniture and home furnishings and food and beverage places (bars, craft breweries, and distilleries).” The MAG study targeted jobs that will be in demand: • Trade occupations, such as industrial mechanics, aircraft maintenance, electricians, truck and bus drivers, and welding. • Health care industry occupations, such as pharmacy techs, lab techs and licensed practical nurses. • Public safety and administration occupations, such as teaching assistants and fire safety. • Finance-related occupations, such as bookkeeping and clerical work. Far more than jobs and financial impact, local leaders expect the expansion to continue the West Valley’s military tradition. “Glendale is proud to be the home of Luke Air Force Base, and for generations we’ve welcomed servicemen and their families,” Weiers said.

Come interview with us! Tuesday, October 6, 2020

8:00AM-5:30PM

Deer Valley School Unified District has a slow, staggered rollout. Some grades started first, with others following—with fourth-, sixth- and eighth-graders and high school sophomores returning to classes Oct. 5. High school freshmen don’t return to classes until Oct. 14. So many teachers in Glendale and Peoria will have to wait to see what Summers is seeing: students off the computer screen—and in the classroom. “We came back and the calendars were still stuck on March,” she said. “It’s like time just stopped.” What were her young students eager to discuss? “Being in kindergarten, they want to talk about everything,” she said. “It’s their first time into the real world. “They think we always wear masks to school.” While starting the day with a face covering hasn’t been a problem, there has been frequent slippage. “The biggest thing is making sure the masks fit,” Summers said.

The kindergarten teacher said, while it had its limitations, remote teaching was a success. “I’ve loved doing online (teaching). It’s like working from a bird’s-eye view. I knew more about (the students) than I would have if they were coming into classrooms,” she said of the month-plus or online learning. “There were no distractions, just them on the computer looking at me.” Now that the little desks are filled, new challenges arise—like students bringing their own supplies, and not passing them around. “Typically, this is when you teach (students) to share with friends—but not now,” Summers said. As she has been teaching kindergarten for three years, one question is hardly new to Summers: Why? “Some students don’t understand why we’re wearing masks,” the Glendale teacher said. “When they say, ‘I don’t want to wear a mask,’ I say, ‘Look at all your friends. They’re all wearing masks. “‘All your other friends have their noses covered.’”

PUSD voters first approved a 10% override in 1996 and renewed overrides in 2001, 2006 and 2012. In 2015, voters approved a 13% override. The authorization lasts for seven years and phases out over the last two years if not renewed or replaced with another voter-approved initiative. If approved, the override will result in an estimated average annual tax rate of $1.4486 per $100 of limited assessed valuation for residential property owners. The tax rate associated with the district’s existing bond sales and the new $125 million bond would be $1.4781 per $100 of limited assessed valuation for a residential homeowner in the district. The voters of Glendale Union High School District No. 205 will decide on a $130 million bond.

Council changes the way city selects judges BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

While it was hardly as controversial as the selection of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s successor, at its Sept. 22 meeting, Glendale City Council raised a few eyebrows by changing the way city judges will be selected. Council first eliminated duties of an advisory board—and then the board itself. Previously, the Glendale City Code stated, “The presiding officer of the city court shall be the presiding city judge who shall be appointed by the city council, after recommendation of the judicial selection advisory board,” and, “City judges shall be appointed by the city council, after recommendation of the judicial selection advisory board.” City council voted 6-1 to remove “after recommendation of the judicial selection advisory board” for both the presiding city judge and city judges processes. Councilman Bart Tuner was the only vote against the ordinance amending the language. The Glendale Star asked Turner to explain his vote. “I deeply respect and appreciate the time and talent that the members of all our advisory commissions donate to the city. As a group, the legal professionals who make up our Judicial Selection Advisory Board (JSAB) are probably the most knowledgeable in their specific subject matter out of all our commissions. Their previous work in providing the council judicial recommendations has been of superior quality,” Turner said. “In this instance, I believe the council was proceeding outside of the standard process and in a direction that could possibly become contrary to city ordinance. I don’t feel amending the ordinance to match council desires and then also disbanding the JSAB is the appropriate solution,” he continued. Asked about the reason for this, city attorney Michael Bailey responded, “City Council amended Chapter 13, including repealing the Judicial Selection Advisory Board. “This action results in a clean slate for the city council to consider the diversity of practices of neighboring cities and clearly establish roles and responsibilities as they relate to the charter’s authority that the

City Council is the appointing body.” Bailey did not directly respond to a question regarding the value of the judicial board’s input. Ana Botello, who also wrote a guest editorial on the matter (see Page 12), was a member of the board. “I am stunned and disheartened at the decision to disband the board—my faith in government shaken,” she said. The board was made up of judges and attorneys. The members included Roy Whitehead, Larry Sandigo, Joshua Conway, Michael Kielsky, Magdalena Osborn, Presiding Judge Elizabeth Finn, Andrew Gould and Botello. According to minutes from the board’s January meeting, “The next reappointment for the Board to consider will be City Judge John Burkholder whose term expires Oct. 31, and Judges Finn and Delgado whose terms expire in March 2021.” The board met again Sept. 2, with the main agenda items of, “The board will discuss and vote on their recommendation to the Mayor and City Council regarding the reappointment of John Burkholder to City Judge for a four-year term,” and, “discuss and vote to forward to the Mayor and City Council the qualified candidates for consideration as the presiding city judge.” On Aug. 12, the board received an email from Glendale Human Resources: “Glendale City Council has requested your review and feedback on their top candidate for presiding city judge. Please … review the attached application materials for Nicholas DiPiazza.” Botelo responded with an Aug. 17 email challenging the procedure: “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the mayor and council reviewing all applicants directly, but the way I read the ordinances it falls on the board to review all of the applicants and make the recommendations as a board. Out of an abundance of caution, I feel hesitant to make any recommendation without having met with my fellow board members.” A month later, council disbanded the board. “I don’t believe any of us thought council would just eliminate us instead of trying to work with us,” Botello said. Turner, for one, valued the board’s input.

“I have always been a proponent of full transparency when conducting the public’s business. The agenda description for the proposed actions, in my opinion, fell woefully short of providing the general public a clear description of the proposals under consideration, and to the best of my knowledge, even the JSAB members had not been notified that the City Council was considering abolishing their commis-

sion,” Turner said in an email to the Star. “Under these circumstances, and given the importance of maintaining maximum public confidence in our judicial selection process, I felt I must vote ‘No.’” The reappointment of Burkholder and appointment of a new presiding city judge was also on the Sept. 22 agenda, but council voted to move both items to a later meeting.

PUSD board candidates introduced at event BY JAKARIA ROSS

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

On Sept. 21, seven of the nine candidates running for the three open slots on the Peoria Unified School District board attended a candidate forum, where they outlined their ideas, perspectives and plans. More than 35,000 students attend PUSD schools in Glendale and Peoria. While Linda Busam and Rebecca Hill were unable to attend, CJ Williams, Kirk Hobbs, Davita Solter, Kacie Franklin, Bill Sorensen, Devon Updegraff-Day and David Sandoval participated in the online event. Candidates were asked about issues that prompted them to run for the governing board. A mother of three children and lifelong West Valley resident, Franklin outlined her plans for educators throughout the district. “One of the primary issues for me is our teacher retention. We have a history

of bringing in fabulous people but not being able to retain them due to a number of factors,” Franklin said. “I truly believe that we need to look at significant ways to retain our wonderful educators, because they are the reason that we keep moving forward and that we produce some of the most stellar students in the state.” Hobbs, the father of three PUSD students and a 10-year volunteer in the district, said concerns in regard to student success rates led him to become a candidate. “When I really looked at the concerns that most parents I come in contact with have, I think probably the biggest issue is concern with getting students back on track in regard to overall performance. In many of our school districts, we’re seeing our juniors are failing on the state ELA (English Language Arts) tests somewhere at somewhere over 50%. We’ve got close to 44% who are not passing our math state test. So, my

concern is returning PUSD back to the school district of choice,” Hobbs said. “My wife and I chose where we live 15 years ago because of the school district’s reputation, so I’d like to see us return to that excellence.” Sandoval, the president of the school board who is seeking reelection, reflected on the aspects of the board that inspired him to rerun. His fellow board members Monica Ceja Martinez and Judy Doane will not be in the running for reelection. “We’ve seen a lot over the last threeplus years,” Sandoval said. “The dynamics of the Red for Ed movement, the hiring of a new superintendent and now through the pandemic. I’ll continue to be present and listen first to understand, be very informed and make data-driven decisions with a focus on our most-important assets—our youth.” After serving over three decades in the district, Solter said passion for service and education led her to run. “In 2012, I retired from the school district, and I currently work in Glendale Elementary School District as the wellness program specialist. Because of my parttime ability, I am able to volunteer in five of the PUSD sites. I’m also very active in the city of Glendale with different volunteer organizations,” Solter said. “My passion is service and education, and I’m ready to go.” Updegraff-Day outlined the experience in her field that she felt would allow her to advocate for diverse issues.

“I’m a practicing physician assistant, and I own a dermatology analogy practice with 17,000 active patients. … I have experience with the Child Protective Services adolescent department in the Baltimore area, as well as working with the House of Ruth, which is the escape for domestic violence, working with the children for those families,” Updegraff-Day said. Williams noted she has family who served for the board and a kindergartener starting this school year. “It’s in our blood,” Williams said. “My entire family serves the public interest of our students across the state. … The tradition continues. I’m invested for the long haul. I currently have the privilege for serving as the administrator for WestMEC and have served in public education for the last 19 years.” Sorensen, a former principal of Centennial High School, cited his 17 years as an educator. “There’s something about community and seeing the people around you every day that makes you want to add value. As a principal and assistant principal, I pride myself on being an active listener, and I work for you. So, the concept of listening to our parents, to our students and to our teachers, to our leaders and creating meaning together in the name of community and connection and ensuring every single PUSD resident feels that they belong, is an absolute mission to our soul,” Sorensen said.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF According to the Glendale Police Department, a 17-year-old died the night of Sept. 27 after driving off the road near 67th and Northern avenues. “The vehicle was traveling northbound when the driver lost control. The vehicle ran off the roadway, struck a poll and rolled to a stop. The driver

of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene of the collision,” said Randy Stewart, a Glendale police spokesman. “Investigators were called to the scene and are currently investigating the incident. Speed is being investigated as a possible factor in the collision.” Stewart said the name of the driver will not be released “due to his age.”

Mayor Jerry Weiers said the report was not complete. “We have other costs involved … that is not being shown on transportation, police, sanitation,” Weiers said. “Unfortunately, I wish that we had that, because I think it would make a lot more sense.” Councilman Jamie Aldama said the benefits of events are hard to quantify. “There is a lot more value to putting on the events in downtown than just revenue,” Aldama said, “I just want to be sure that our citizens that are watching and listening, the events that I know of, weren’t solely to gain revenue.” The 2020 Chocolate Experience, formerly known as the Chocolate Affaire, was held in early February inside Glendale Civic Center. Councilman Bart Turner expressed concerns about the Chocolate Experience. Turner said he received communication from his constituents that the event did not live up to its billing. “I don’t want people to think that the ones who had a different point of view are being ignored,” Turner said. “I think we should acknowledge that.” City Manager Kevin Phelps said funds for canceled 2020 events could be moved to other events. The tentative 2020-21 Glendale Downtown Events schedule: Glendale Glitters Spectacular Weekend, Nov. 27-28; Downtown in December, December (monthlong); Glendale Glitter and Glow, Jan. 9; the Chocolate Experience, Feb. 13-14; Live at Murphy Park March-April.

Ducey y rules out any more business closures BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Gov. Doug Ducey will not order businesses to re-close or impose new restrictions even if the infection threat of COVID-19 in any area returns to “substantial.’’ “Arizona’s open,’’ the governor said. “Arizona’s economy is open, Arizona’s educational institutions are open, Arizona’s tourism institutions are open. The expectation is they are going to remain open.’’ Ducey’s comments came as state Health Director Cara Christ said the coronavirus numbers are going to get worse. “There are counties that are likely to go back into substantial spread starting (this) week,’’ she said. It was having that threat of substantial

spread that led to the original orders to shutter businesses in March and then Ducey’s directive to re-close many of them in June following a spike in cases. “We should expect a rise in cases,’’ the governor said, though he suggested part of the reason for that will be an increase in the number and types of testing available. But the governor said the decisions he made before won’t be repeated. “We are not going to be, due to a gradual rise in cases, be making any dramatic changes,’’ he said. The problems appear to be localized. Statewide, the rate of infection remains below 100 per 100,000 residents, enough to put it in the moderate range. And the percentage of tests for the virus coming back positive actually is below 5%, show-

EMCC, GCC collaborate with Microsoft on IT certification programs BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF “Word” might be the comment from tech-hungry students upon news that Microsoft—with three West Valley data centers under construction—is partnering with local community colleges. Estrella Mountain Community College and Glendale Community College are collaborating with Bill Gates’ legendary company to develop Microsoft Datacenter Academy, to launch in the fall of 2021. “We are always looking for ways to better prepare our students for in-demand IT jobs,” said Dr. Rey Rivera, EMCC president. “This collaboration with Microsoft will not only help to fill a void in the IT job market but will also provide our students with additional streamlined pathways to these high-paying jobs, many of which will be located right here in the West Valley, where three Microsoft datacenters will open in the near future.” The data centers—two in Goodyear and one in El Mirage—are under construction, with plans to go online in 2021. The Microsoft Datacenter Academy will be located in EMCC’s Estrella Hall on the Avondale campus. It will serve

students from EMCC as well as GCC. The Academy will prepare workers for high-demand jobs in the IT sector. Microsoft will donate specialized equipment directly from Microsoft datacenters to EMCC. The typical Datacenter Academy lab contains three rack cabinets with a mix of servers, storage devices and networking equipment. Students will be able to use this equipment to receive hands-on experience with industry-standard hyper cloud hardware. “Estrella Mountain Community College and Glendale Community College are striving to educate, train and prepare our students for the fast-paced changes happening in the workplace,” said Dr. Teresa Leyba Ruiz, GCC president. “Microsoft is grateful to work with nonprofits, governments, educators and businesses around the world to ensure students acquire skills and certifications for employment in the growing cloud computing and IT sectors,” said Utaukwa Allen, director of Microsoft Datacenter Community Development. “This partnership with Estrella Mountain Community College and Glendale Community College will go a long way in helping us provide these opportunities in Maricopa County.”

ing what the state calls “minimal’’ spread. Daniel Scarpinato, the governor’s chief of staff, said one reason his boss can say he won’t close businesses again is because the situation is far different, even if the raw numbers may not show it. “We have broad access to testing with fast turnaround,’’ Scarpinato said. “We have increased contact tracing,’’ he continued. “We’ve got enforcement of rules and regulations.’’ All that, Scarpinato said, means it allows people to be found and told to isolate themselves if they’ve been exposed. “Businesses are operating much differently today than they were when some of these industries were closed,’’ Scarpinato said. For example, he said, restaurant patrons have to wear their masks when they’re not at their table. Masks also are required at salons and barber shops. Then there are capacity restrictions, with restaurants and bars that operate like restaurants at 50% and gyms at just 25% of normal attendance.

And even in cities and counties where masks are not required, Scarpinato said most retailers are requiring them of customers. The other big issue, he said, is that the state is better equipped to handle an outbreak. “Our hospitals were at capacity,’’ Scarpinato said, with some close to having to implement “surge’’ plans to find more space. One potential reason for Ducey’s reticence to once again shut down businesses is purely financial. Earlier this year, business owners could apply for the federal Paycheck Protection Program, which provided loans to companies to keep workers on the payroll. That program is now gone. What’s also gone is the extra unemployment benefits available from the federal government, initially at $600 a week and, more recently, reduced to $300. Those, too, have disappeared, leaving jobless Arizona workers with a maximum state benefit of $240 a week.

Why did council eliminate advisory board? BY ANA BOTELLO

Glendale Star Guest Writer

For shame! Glendale City Council eradicates the judicial selection advisory board. On Tuesday, Sept. 22, in less than two minutes and without any questions or comments, the Glendale City Council amended long-standing ordinances that required the city council to receive recommendations on city and presiding city judge appointments from a judicial selection advisory board (JSAB). Most local municipalities, including Phoenix, Mesa and Surprise, have similar ordinances, where five to seven board members (usually one superior court judge, one appellate judge, one state bar nominee and at least two members residing in the community) recommend to the city council a list of candidates who should serve as city court judges. No ordinance states that the council must choose any of the recommended candidates, but they must at least allow the board to review

the applicants, and to conduct interviews and background checks as needed, before making an appointment. About a month ago, on Aug. 12, through staff, the Glendale City Council contacted the members of the JSAB requesting a review of the application materials of their preferred candidate (a long-term city bureaucrat who provided other city bureaucrats as references) for presiding city judge. The email demanded a response within two business days (although the current presiding judge is not set to retire until March of 2021) as to whether that preferred candidate met the qualifications for presiding city judge. Having observed other JSABs in action, this process immediately felt wrong. Why was the council telling the board whom their preferred candidate was ahead of any application review? How many other applicants were there? Nineteen total—we were later informed. After requesting to see the other candi-

dates’ submissions, 10 applications were eventually forwarded to the JSAB. At the board’s meeting on Sept. 2, board members raised ethical concerns about the council’s email, and the board voted unanimously, inter alia, to restart the tainted process anew—after both the council and board received training from the Arizona Supreme Court on how to conduct such appointments. After all, we had some time before the current presiding judge retired. The Glendale City Council responded by refusing to adopt any of the recommendations made by the board to restart the process in a more principled manner. Instead, Human Resources and Risk Management Director Jim Brown informed the JSAB that the council would proceed as if all 19 applicants were found to be qualified. When confronted with the fact that city ordinances required recommendation of the JSAB before appointment, Mr. Brown and city attorney Michael Bailey met with the city council in a private executive session, where it

was decided to amend city ordinances such that the JSAB was eliminated and the two statutes relating to the appointment of city judges no longer required JSAB recommendations. Only the vote was public. In a time when our judicial system is constantly in the headlines, when there are bipartisan calls for criminal justice reform and where the public demands more transparency from our elected officials, Glendale’s elected leaders chose to shut out a board of vetted attorneys (including two well-respected members of the judiciary) from making recommendations. The Glendale City Council has now made their judicial appointment process less transparent, just and dignified. Eliminating the JSAB reeks of cronyism, and the council, city attorney Michael Bailey, and Human Resources and Risk Management Director Jim Brown should be ashamed.

READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTER TO THE EDITOR Editor: When you visit a physical or occupational therapist, you’re visiting a specialty provider who can help you move better and manage your pain without potentially dangerous medications. Typically, an entire course of treatment with a therapist costs less than any number of treatments provided in hospitals. On Jan. 1, Medicare plans to make significant payment cuts to therapists and over 30 other specialty providers, some as high as 11%, despite bipartisan opposition. Cuts of this magnitude will result in provider closures and restricted access to care.

Specialty professionals are critical for older Americans—especially in the context of an unprecedented public health emergency. Without access to these providers, Medicare patients will be forced to seek specialty care in more expensive settings, including the hospital. As we live through the COVID-19 crisis, we deserve a health system that is stable and reliable. Cutting health care payments during a health care crisis is bad policy. It’s time to block these cuts.

Electing school board members is crucial BY STEVE WATSON

Glendale Star Guest Writer

Despite the countless political ads you see on TV and social media, the most-important offices on your ballot might not be the ones at the top of the ticket. Partisan elections get a lot of attention as parties and groups compete for your vote for president, U.S. Senate, Congress, state and county offices and the legislature. Few people realize that in Maricopa County alone, there are also 231 school board candidates running for a chance to lead a school district like the one you live in. Despite aspiring to the monumentally important task of overseeing the proper education and the well-being of our children, school board candidates and their elections receive too little attention. We already know parents care about high-quality education for their children. We’re well aware that homeown-

ers understand how good schools are one of the top factors in increasing property values. It’s also obvious that taxpayers and voters care about their money: School boards in Maricopa County collectively spend several billion in public dollars each year performing their educational duties. But that’s only part of the reason why our local school board elections are more important now than ever. School governing boards have an immense amount of authority in determining school district policy, like deciding when to safely reopen or how to have online and hybrid learning in the meantime. School boards typically have five members serving four-year terms, with three of those seats up for election this year. The races are nonpartisan, meaning political parties do not pre-select

nominees to appear on the general election ballot. The election of school board members is 100% in the hands of the voters in the general election. Many parents and even teachers recently were surprised to learn how powerful local school boards are, as we watched first-hand how differently they addressed significant issues affecting communities, such as the current pandemic. While some districts moved completely to online learning this fall, others have recently (or will soon) jumped right back into in-person learning.

None of these decisions by school boards were made in a vacuum, as district after district conducted numerous surveys, special meetings and community events as they gathered community input before making decisions. To help voters make decisions about electing school board candidates, who usually can’t afford to run TV ads or extensive social media campaigns, my office’s website has information on every school board candidate running in Maricopa County at schoolsup.org. Steve Watson is a former high school teacher and currently the Maricopa County School superintendent.

Wow Wow adds pumpkin spice items in time for fall BY ANNIKA TOMLIN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

The ﬁrst day of fall was Sept. 22, and Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade followed suit by adding new seasonal items to the menu—including much-lauded pumpkin spice goodies. Pumpkin spice cold brew smoothie features cold brew and housemade pumpkin spice almond butter, sweetened with dates. Another option is the pumpkin spice cold brew—cold brew coffee and pumpkin spice creamer made with coconut milk, in either regular (cane sugar) or sugar free (monkfruit sweetener). Rounding out the pumpkin spice creations is pumpkin spice toast. The normal three-quarter-inch, nine-grain toast, made locally from Wildﬂower Bread Company, is topped with housemade pumpkin spice almond butter, banana, coconut chips and local honey. “It’s all about bringing fresh, healthy bites to the community,” said Dana Weiderhoft, franchise owner of Wow Wow Lemonade’s Happy Valley location. “We use compostable products to serve food in. It just kind of made me feel good to bring that to the community, and the food is just so good.”

She said she’s not a huge pumpkin spice fan, but these options wowed her. “It’s just not my thing, but I was there when they were taste testing it and I was like, ‘Oh, wow, these are really good,’ she said. “I think it makes a difference that we make the pumpkin spice nut butter and the pumpkin spice creamer.” Weiderhoft invested in the brand a couple years ago, after being impressed with its offerings. On the regular menu, she enjoys the black lava toast with a cashew spread, which she spruces up by adding lime and chili ﬂakes. “As the kids say, ‘It really hits,’” Weiderhoft said with a laugh. Besides the pumpkin spice concoctions, Wow Wow recently introduced three new plant-based energy lemon-

ades, available in sparkling or frozen. Flavors include lavender blackberry, strawberry pineapple and passion strawberry. The drinks have a plant-based boost from green coffee

Wow Wow Hawaiian Lemonade

Glendale owners Robert Blankenship and Greg Cook are childhood best friends. They joined the franchise with a goal in mind—to create a healthier, safer and more comfortable environment for the community. “It was a no brainer to open up to Arizona,” Cook said. “The community has been so positive, and we have nothing but great reviews since we have opened to the public.” Germinator uses a two-step process to help reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses like the novel coronavirus. The ﬁrst step, called Genesis, uses

hypochlorous acid to kill bacteria, mold, mildew, viruses and odors caused by bacteria. “HOCI is a nontoxic, near-neutral pH, hospital-grade sanitizer and disinfectant,” Blankenship said. “So, it is very effective in killing these harmful bacteria.” The second step uses Germinator’s Shield. It is a long-lasting, invisible microbial coating that aims to protect and prevent the regrowth of bacteria. Cook described the process at a Goodyear facility they are currently treating.

“Before and after each cleaning, we test the surfaces with an ATP reader that essentially tells us how clean the surface is,” he said. Cook explains that an ATP reading over 100 is a fail, under 100 is a pass, and those under 50 are equal to hospital-grade cleanliness. “The facility has a big staff and a large break room. To begin, we tested the kitchen’s microwave before treatment. The handle picked up a reading of 5,000,” Cook said. “That is the highest number I have ever come across,

and green tea extracts, B-vitamins and herbs. Weiderhoft and the Happy Valley stand have been able to stay open throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. “We are a QSR (quick-service restaurant) establishment, so we already have a focus on takeout,” Weiderhoft said. “All team members wear face coverings as well as take temps at the beginning of each shift. “Customer areas are also wiped down very frequently using a CDC-recommended cleaning solution. We’ve also reduced the number of tables in the stand, with social distancing and mask requirements signs posted throughout.”

Sit, stay and play at the new Zoom Room BY SAMANTHA PACHECO MOLINA Glendale Star Contributing Writer

Dog training company Zoom Room opened its first Arizona location Aug. 22 in Peoria, near Glendale’s Arrowhead Ranch. The training is specifically designed to encourage dogs to socialize and build confidence while learning to master behaviors and commands. “There has never been a more perfect time to start training your dog,” said Zoom Room Arrowhead owner Colin Elliot. “COVID-19 has left so many people at home with their pets all day, and they are just as eager to get out and get moving.” Zoom Room offers various classes, personalized for pooches with specific needs. Clients can choose lessons with a focus on agility, obedience, puppy training and socialization. Pet owners can even rent out distraction-free spaces to work and play one on one with their dogs. Elliot said that incorporating pet

owners in lessons is an important element of the training process. “Our motto is, ‘We don’t train dogs. We train the people who love them.’ For us, training is all about establishing and strengthening the bond between pet owners and their humans,” said Elliot. “We supply you with the tools to see success in and out of class because, at the end of the day, your dog is gominutes,” Blankenship said. “Our application gives clients peace of mind knowing everything is and that there is some added protection on top of that.” The franchise is mobile and offers door-to-door services. Germinator also makes virtual and phone consultations available to those interested in future cleanings. “We are willing to help craft a plan with customers and look at pricing that works for them,” said Blankenship. “We understand many local businesses have suffered at the hands of the pandemic,” Cook added. “We just want them to know that we are here to help.” For more information, call 602-932-7406 or visit germinatorphoenix.com.

ing home with you.” With over 4,000 square feet of air-conditioned space, dogs can play comfortably and enjoy the toys and treats for sale at the merchandise front. Elliot’s passion for animals started as a child, growing up with his family’s dogs. As he grew older and adopted his own rescue canines, he realized the need for pet services and aimed to open his own boarding and day care center with his father, John. When an opportunity to join the Zoom Room franchise presented itself, the father-son duo took the leap. “Opening during a pandemic was

definitely an interesting and stressful experience,” Elliot continued. “We were the first in the franchise to open during COVID-19, and we had to get creative with everything—from marketing the opening to figuring out how we can adapt to a socially distanced experience.” Masks and online reservations are required to attend classes. Additionally, sessions will only host up to six dogs to allow for proper social distancing. Elliot said all areas of the training facility are frequently sanitized with hospital-grade disinfectant. “We are playing by the rules and adhering to government guidelines,” Elliot said. “We want to safely remain open and hope to soon serve Valley dogs at full capacity in a post-pandemic world.” Zoom Room Arrowhead is at 7439 W. Bell Road, Suite A-1. For more information, call 623-850-1342 or visit zoomroom.com/arrowhead.

Decision puts valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins back in circulation – zip codes determine who gets them Unsearched Vault Bags loaded with valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins some dating back to the 1800’s and worth up to 50 times their face value are actually being handed over to residents who find their zip code on the Distribution List below and beat the 48 hour order deadline

Who gets the U.S. Gov’t issued coins: Only U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed on the Distribution List below are getting the valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins. If you find your zip code listed below call: 1-800-865-9521 NCS1160 “The vaults at Federated Mint a re going empt y,” sa id Ma r y Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America. That’s because a decision by Federated Mint to put valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins, some worth up to 50 times their face value, back in circulation means unsearched Vault Bags loaded with U. S. Gov’t issued coins dating back to the 1800’s are now being handed over to U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication. “These are not ordinary coins you find in your pocket change. These

are valuable silver, scarce, highly collectible and non- circulating U.S. coins dating back to the 1800’s which is why U.S. residents will be claiming as many as they can get their hands on. That’s because after the bags were loaded with over 2 pounds of U.S. Gov’t issued coins the dates were never searched and the bags were securely sealed. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search all the coins,” said Withrow. “But don’t thank the Government. As Executive Advisor to Federated Mint, I get paid to inform and educate the general public regarding U.S. coins. Ever since the decision

by Federated Mint to put valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins back in circulation – everyone’s asking me, how much are the unsearched Vault Bags worth? The answer is, there’s no way to tell. Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but we do know this. Each unsearched bag weighs over 2 pounds and is known to contain at least one silver Walking Liberty coin and just that one coin alone could be worth $15 - $325 in collector value. So there’s no telling what you’ll find until you search through all the coins. But you better believe at just $249 these unsearched Vault Bags are a steal, “said Withrow.

The only thing U.S. residents who find their zip code printed in today’s publication need to do is call the National Toll Free Hotline before the 48 hour deadline ends. This is very important. The Vault Bag fee has been set for $349 for residents who miss the 48 hour deadline, but for those U.S. residents who beat the 48 hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $249 as long as they call the National Toll Free Hotline before the deadline ends. “Remember this, we ca nnot stop collectors from buying up all the unsearched bags of coins they (Continued on next page)

The phone lines will be ringing off the hook beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning. That’s because each unsearched Vault Bag is loaded in part with highly sought after collector coins dating clear back to the 1800’s including the stunning Silver Walking Liberty Half Dollar, valuable President Eisenhower Silver Dollars, rarely seen Silver Franklin Half Dollars, high demand President Kennedy Silver Half Dollars, beautiful Silver Standing Liberty Quarter Dollar, American Bicentennial Quarters, rare Liberty V Nickels, the scarce Indian Head one cent U.S. coin and the last ever minted Buffalo Nickels. “With all these valuable coins up for grabs we’re doing all we can to answer all the calls,” said Withrow. Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to claim the valuable U.S. Gov’t issued coins. That means U.S. residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication can claim the unsearched bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Just be sure to call before the deadline ends 48 hours from today’s publication date. ■

Program aims to reduce recidivism, provide health care BY ALLEN AWFE

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Terros Health is partnering with Maricopa County Adult Probation Department to merge health and justice. They formed a program designed to improve probationer, or patient, access to integrated health services and reduce recidivism. One Glendale resident who has recently gone through the program is Michael Verde, 42. His health care journey worked in conjunction with his probationary terms and began with Terros Health in March for 12 weeks. After having past troubles with the legal system and struggling with substance abuse for a majority of his life, Verde has benefited and walked away a changed man after receiving assistance from Terros Health. “I went through their program … and part of those terms were to follow through with some requirements. One of those requirements was taking a class for cognitive restoration of choices that you’re making in life so that you can better yourself,” Verde said. He also received a peer support certification after his probationary period, which took an additional two weeks to complete. This certification allows people who have gone through a recovery experience, like that of Terros Health, to support fellow peers in their recovery process. “I’m also trying to volunteer with them (Terros) as well, because I think they’re a really good agency to do that with,” Verde said. Terros Health specializes in treating substance-use and mental health issues by utilizing behavioral and cognitive

approaches. The first-inthe-nation program is funded by a five-year grant from the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System’s Targeted Investments Program. Terros Health is four years into the grant. It integrates new “justice clinics” where patients’ specific probationary terms from MCAPD are worked in conjunction with a health care plan unique to each individual patient provided by Terros Health. The justice clinics serve adult probationers who generally experience limited access to health care. The purpose of the justice clinics is “to give people who are on probation access to health care and in conjunction with that, reduce recidivism, to get them to live healthy productive lives and move on,” said Ray Young, a licensed counselor and integrated site director who oversees the justice clinics. “A lot of times on probation

they’re required to complete treatment in order to move through probation, and so that’s where the collaboration comes in.” The justice clinics received an award from the National Association of Counties for the innovative combination of justice and health care. The clinics operate in four locations throughout the Valley, and three of them are at Terros Health locations: Olive Health Center in Glendale, 27th Avenue Health Center in Phoenix and Stapley Health Center in Mesa. “In our clinics, what they do is they bring in their probation officers, which are housed out of those three clinics,” Young said. The fourth justice clinic is at MCAPD’s Black Canyon Adult Probation Center. Around 3,200 of the 4,132 total patients in the program alone receive health care at the Black Canyon Probation Center. The clinics are staffed with nurses, counselors and probation officers specially trained in working with individuals who are in the program. “The facilitators were great,” said Verde, the former patient at Terros

Health. “I learned a lot, the peers were great, everyone was really engaged even if they didn’t want to be. It was something we had to do, so we just made the best of it.” Terros Health has been trying to continue full services while dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. “We’re trying to be as thoughtful and as careful as we can with COVID and following CDC guidelines,” Young said. “It’s been a fine mix of trying to bring in folks that absolutely need to be seen, and there’s other ones who maybe don’t need to be seen and we can do a Telehealth.” Telehealth, meeting by video call, has been a convenient tool to help navigate meetings and group sessions through the ongoing pandemic. “Folks are allowed to attend substance abuse groups or any type of mental health group, same way over telehealth and over telephone,” Young said. The justice clinics can also provide health care to a patient’s family if need be. “Say he’s married and has kids and they don’t have services, so we can wrap our arms around the family,” Young said. “If they don’t have insurance, we’ll do a sliding fee scale. We’re truly working on finding a ‘yes’ to help them, to help make things easier for them. It truly has become a community project.” “No one is left behind,” Verde said. “Everyone is in it together, like no matter what, where you’re at as far as your skill level, comprehension. At the end of the day, everyone is going to be put on the same page so that everyone understands completely.” For more information, visit terroshealth.org.

Substance use disorder impacts a whole family BY LARRY TRACEY

Glendale Star Guest Writer

Have you ever been on the phone, and your heart sinks from the news you hear? I recently spoke with a mother on the phone whose 25-year-old son had relapsed; he just tested “hot” for opioids. The more I listened, the more my heart grew heavy for her and her situation. She is beside herself. He is being admitted into a drug treatment center for his substance use disorder. Her son started getting involved with nicotine and smoking pot as a teen. No big deal, right? But this is a big deal, because this is the most critical time in a teen’s life, where the teen brain is expanding and undergoing extensive remodeling and wiring upgrades. In short, a teen brain is hardwiring itself for adulthood. Drug and alcohol use as a teen alters that hardwiring, and then BAM … you hardwired your brain for addiction. This results in a pattern of poor decision making and struggle as an adult. Her son’s drug use continued to accelerate, seeking a better high, trying new combinations of drugs and alcohol (poly use—using multiple substances). As his substance use progressed, he was in situations where opioids and heroin were part of the mix. Mom is beginning to lose hope, because he has been admitted into drug treatment centers for his substance use disorder multiple times. She is now wondering if her son will be another statistic that will land her into an exclusive club that grows larger every day. The members have lost a son, daughter or another loved one to opioid and heroin addiction resulting in death, usually by overdose. Here are some startling, scary statistics: • Over 90% of people we see in drug and alcohol treatment centers report they started using as teens. • 80% of those who become addicted to heroin started with opioid-based pain medication prescribed by a

doctor. Examples of opioids are painkillers such as morphine, methadone, Buprenorphine, hydrocodone and oxycodone. Heroin is also an opioid and is illegal. Opioid drugs sold under brand names include OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, Percodan, Tylox and Demerol, among others. Know that these pain medications are highly addictive, which is one reason we find ourselves in an opioid crisis. I checked in with the mother recently to see how things were going. She told me her son was admitted into a drug treatment center for his substance use disorder and released to a sober living facility. He found suitable employment within walking distance of his residence, received a steady paycheck, and saved money for a car and insurance. Fast-forward seven months later, and just like that, he relapsed. He tested positive for opioids again. Now, kicked out of sober living, his situation continues to deteriorate. He currently lives in a high-risk neighborhood and continues to show signs of continued use—all the gains made over the past seven months gone in an instant. Unfortunately, with our current opiate crisis, “finding your bottom” all too commonly can mean death from overdose, especially with our streets being flooded with fentanyl, a deadly opiate that people often mistakenly buy while looking for heroin. As a person who has lived a recovery program for more than 35 years, I see addiction as a living, breathing entity that does not want to die. It will do anything to survive and keep someone you love trapped in the cycle of addiction. Understanding this is key to preventing relapse and breaking the cycle of addiction. Working a program of recovery is how someone with a substance use disorder can kill the addiction. Here are a few takeaways I have discovered over the years: • I have yet to meet anyone who

planned on becoming addicted. • No one has immunity. Addiction knows no boundaries. It doesn’t care about skin color, how much money you have or don’t have or what part of town you live. • Once a person is detoxed (no physical withdrawal symptoms or physical cravings to use alcohol or drugs), they are no longer physically addicted. From this point on, they suffer from what is known as mental obsession (much of which is unconscious). • People relapse due to mental obsession; this is why it is vital to work what we call a recovery program. It has nothing to do with one’s will power. • Substance use disorder impacts a whole family. Educate yourself about substance use disorder. • In the early stages, recovery will take priority over everything else. • The first step is admitting that I have a problem. It is a decision, a decision where the mind’s knowledge becomes the knowledge of the heart. That inner knowing begins your journey of inner freedom. Relapse is sneaky; relapse happens more often than not. One may get up in the morning with no intention of

using and throughout the (activities) day find themselves in a situation where the next thing you know, you have relapsed. Many will rationalize their situation, thinking, “Well, just one time won’t hurt.” That one time sets off the mental obsession, and that one use kicks in the craving once again. Most will make up for lost time, making them susceptible to unintentional overdosing. With the proper tools and support, the mental obsession substantially decreases and becomes a fleeting thought. Helping your loved one accept they have a substance use disorder and admit they need help is not easy. But it is possible. If you or someone you or someone you know is ready to take that first step to rid themselves of the nightmare of SUD (substance use disorder), there is a lifeline listed below. Reach out. Make the call. Years ago, when I reached out, I discovered they were expecting me. I just had to get out of my own way. Find other useful information, visit wowcoalition.org/resources.

Suicide may run in the family, possible genetic risk BY JAMIE LANDERS AND FAITH ABERCROMBIE Cronkite News

For decades, researchers have looked to human genetics for linkages to mental illness, such as depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Patterns of inheritance are murky, but it is clear that “stuff runs in families,” says Dr. Douglas Gray, a psychiatrist and researcher at the University of Utah School of Medicine. His 2018 study—published in the journal of Molecular Psychiatry—went a step further. It examined four specific gene variants that appear to raise the risk of suicide. Four percent “of genes in the genome have current evidence associated with suicide risk,” according to the study, which identified the variants as APH1B, AGBL2, SP110 and SUCLA2. Their presence is “noticeably associated with suicide risk.” “We need to tell people who’ve had a

suicide that their family’s at risk,” said Gray, who studies suicide to better understand risk factors and develop prevention programs. This genetic component may account for as much as “45 to 50% of the risk,” he said. Genetic screenings or simply reviewing family histories could be one method of increasing both awareness and prevention, Gray said.

Let’s try to prevent problems before they get worse.”

– Dr. Douglas Gray

University of Utah School of Medicine

The study was rooted in the work of another researcher at the University of Utah in 1980: Paul H. Wender. His team of American and Danish researchers in Denmark compared adopted children and their adoptive parents to biological

parents and their children. “They looked at a group of children who were adopted at birth and then grew up and completed suicide,” Gray said. “It turned out that almost all of the risk of suicide was from the biological relatives and not the relatives that raised the child. So your suicide risk doesn’t come from the parents that adopt you, it comes from the parents you never met.” To put Wender’s revolutionary findings to the test, Gray and a team of geneticists began a project that used statistical resources from the Utah Population Database to study 43 extended families that, through several generations, had exhibited high suicide risk. After controlling for environmental factors, gene variants determined to be prevalent in these families were then tested for their frequency through a generalized sample of 1,300 suicides in Utah. “We’re able to gather DNA of suicide completers for the past 20 years and actually look for genes that might increase the risk for suicide,” Gray said. The team also conducted what he described as “psychological autopsies,” interviewing parents of the person who took their life, as well as their siblings, friends and, occasionally, athletic coaches and other outside figures. What Gray uncovered in part mirrors the story of Jenny Gibson, a mother of two sons in Arizona whose sister took her own life on Jan. 1, 2008. Four years later, her father died by suicide. “I was afraid,” Gibson recalled.

“What if this is … hereditary? “My dad was very resilient. He didn’t have a mental illness, he was handling the loss of his daughter like any other parent would—it comes with depression and heartbreak—and I didn’t see anything different.” Experts say trauma associated with loss of a loved one can heighten levels of suicide risk. Gibson, her father and her sister had never been genetically screened. But Gibson says she is interested in examining those factors, along with environmental considerations, as a way to safeguard herself. Gray noted, however, that there’s no gene “that dooms you to suicide.” Gray compared the situation to flying. “When you look at when, sadly, an airplane crashes, there’s usually five or six different things that went wrong all in combination,” he said. “We’ll have a 17-year-old boy that dies of suicide and yeah, there was a romantic breakup, but if a romantic breakup was the cause of suicide, then none of us would be alive, right? “Diabetes runs in families, asthma runs in families … anxiety runs in families, depression runs in families,” he said. “Know your family history. If you have a family history of colon cancer, please get your colonoscopy and get it regularly. If you have a strong family history of significant mood disorders and you’re starting to get depressed, the earlier you get help, the better. “Let’s try to prevent problems before they get worse.”

Seniors Rush to Get New Pain-Relief Pearls PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Studies show new CBD Technology – 450 times more effective than regular CBD oil

Exciting news from leading medical doctors and CBD researchers is creating a surge in demand for a new CBD formula that is 450 percent more potent than conventional CBD. The new formula — called Canna LS — uses a “nano” technology called nanoemulsion to boost the pain-relieving power of CBD making it 4.5 times faster and more effective. It’s not just increased potency. It’s also increased “bioavailability,” which is how much of the CBD your body can actually use. This new technology is a game-changer for seniors struggling with everyday aches, pains, and age-related loss of mobility. “Anyone who struggles with occasional, age-related aches and pains or discomfort now has the opportunity to experience relief in a way no CBD product could deliver before,” says Michael Miller, head of development for The Green Gardener, the company behind Canna LS. Why So Much Excitement This new delivery system is the breakthrough behind the unique “pain-relief pearls” which give Canna LS its trademark iridescence. Unlike most CBD products, which rely on powder inside a capsule, these CBD pearls contain a micro-sized blend of CBD oil and water for faster relief. An analysis from the independent lab Folium Bioscience confirms these CBD “pearls” are 450 percent more absorbable than regular CBD, making Canna LS among the most powerful CBD formulas available. With such strong clinical evidence behind the new technology in Canna LS, it’s easy to see why the public is so eager to get this new formula. The results are so encouraging, CBD researcher Dr. Al Sears, MD concluded, “We finally discovered a way to help seniors with a universal problem… how to get fast and soothing relief from occasional, age-related aches and discomfort.” There is no easy cure and no substitute for qualified medical advice, but the impressive results provide much needed hope for seniors struggling with daily life. New “Nano Tech” a Game-Changer for Seniors with Pain Once sidelined by achy, tender joints and back pain, seniors taking Canna LS are doing things they gave up years ago. From every-

day chores like opening a jar or unloading the dishwasher, to traveling without pain or worry, and enjoying time with their grandkids. Dr. Al Sears played an integral role in the development of Canna LS and knows firsthand the difference it makes for his patients at his South Florida clinic. “My patients tell me they feel better at 60 than they did at 45,” says Dr. Sears, who credits the remarkable results to the “nano tech” delivery system. “Finally, seniors have a safe and reliable option for consistent relief that doesn’t lose efficacy after weeks or months. It works every time you take it,” adds Dr. Sears. For people like Jonathan Wilson, age 73, Canna LS is the only solution for lasting relief. “Before I started [Canna LS], pain from my hip replacement surgery made it hard to walk for more than a few minutes. Now, I can get out of the house and spend time with friends. I even played 9 holes of golf, which I had given up after [the] surgery.” How It Works Nanotechnology takes molecules that are too large to pass easily into your cells and breaks them down into millions of tiny, nano-sized molecules. Nanoemulsions are commonly used in the pharmaceutical world, with the International Journal of Pharmaceutics reporting, “Nanoemulsions are the best delivery system available.” And the Royal Society of Chemistry saying, “Nanoemulsions provide much greater absorption.” More recently, nanoemulsions are improving the delivery of key ingredients in nutritional supplements. These “nano” molecules slide effortlessly through your cells’ membranes. That’s important, because if your cells can’t absorb the ingredients, you won’t feel the relief. Research shows this incredible nanotechnology works fast. When harnessing the power of this new delivery system, CBD molecules are absorbed in just 30 seconds. By contrast, in less effective products, only a small amount of CBD molecules are absorbed after 30 days. That means Canna LS gives you four-anda-half times the relief in just a few seconds, compared to a whole month of daily CBD!

PAIN-RELIEF PEARLS: Top doctors are now recommending new Canna LS because it ramps up CBD’s pain relieving power by over 450 percent. Why Some Seniors Are Still Skeptical No less than 12,797 clinical studies prove CBD supports health in more than 295 ways — maintaining healthy joints, sleep, mood, memory, inflammation levels, and more. Yet Dr. Sears says the recent popularity of CBD has led to an increased number of cheap, ineffective formulations. In turn, seniors often give up on CBD after trying them because they don’t get the results they’d hoped for. Dr. Sears explains most CBD products you’ll find at the drugstore come in doses between 1 and 5mg. And that’s really not enough to feel CBD’s full effects. That’s why Canna LS is formulated with a full 10mg, which means you are guaranteed the opportunity to experience fast, lasting relief. “The right dose and the breakthrough nanotechnology makes Canna LS a winner,” Dr. Sears adds. What People Are Saying Katherine H. is only 49 but struggled with back pain and mental stress for 20 years. Now, thanks to Canna LS, Katherine says, “I can whizz through my four-bedroom bungalow with the vacuum cleaner. I have so much more energy.”

Kenneth O. from Troutdale, Ore., tried other CBD products but nothing compared to Canna LS. Kenneth says: “It has helped my low back pain and overall I am just better!” And Brian L. says he found Canna LS to be “far superior to other similar products. It enables me to go through my daily life painfree — and free of chemical, over-the-counter medicine.” How To Get Canna LS This is the official nationwide release of Canna LS in the United States.

Jonah’s story shows mercy triumphs over judgment Most of us have heard about Jonah the prophet. He was the prophet who got swallowed up by what the Bible calls a “fish” and got a whale of a taxi ride. The name Jonah means dove. God called him to be the messenger dove to a rough-and-tough, truth-hardened group of people who lived in the city called Nineveh. Nineveh had sunk lower than a snake’s belly in essential character, morality and human injustice. In essence, God said, “Jonah, fly away to Nineveh. They need My help. They are in trouble.” Instead of being the love dove from above that flew to Nineveh, Jonah flew from Nineveh. He got on a boat, paid the fare and went the opposite direction. The Bible says, “But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish (Spain) from the presence of the Lord.” Jonah didn’t like the Ninevites’ behavior and demeanor. Sometimes even a God-appointed prophet can misunderstand the nature and character of God. The Bible says, “God is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness, and one who relents concerning calamity.” (Jonah 4:2). Jonah said no to God. That took him from the presence of God rather than into the presence of God. Here we have a God-appointed

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

prophet of God who did the exact opposite of what God wanted. It’s like that old Western song where the cowboy does something stupid. His thought afterward was, “What was I thinking?” What happened next to “what was I thinking” Jonah and the boat he was on? The ship encountered a massive storm at sea, which scared all the passengers on the ship to death. The passengers discovered that Jonah was fleeing from the Lord and that his disobedience was causing it. Jonah admits the storm was a result of his issues with the Ninevites and God. Isn’t that amazing? When we flee from what God assigns us or asks us to do, it affects others, too. Jonah got thrown off the boat by the mob. When Jonah hit the water, he landed right in the mouth of a custom-made super cruiser fish, which swallowed him. Once inside of the fish, there was a revival going on. Jonah cried for help and pleaded for the same mercy that he would preach to the Ninevites. Crisis

does that. “God, help me, save me, have mercy on me. I’ll go to Nineveh if you get me out of this.” Does this sound familiar? Jonah took a three-day taxi ride on the Mediterranean Sea, transporting him right back into his purpose, call, vision and destiny. The fish “vomited” him on an ocean shore near Nineveh. Lessons: When God fixes a fix to fix you, and you try to fix the fix that God fixed to fix you, God will find another fix to fix you. When you run away from the Lord, you never get to where you are going, and you always pay your own fare. So, Jonah reluctantly spoke God’s message to Nineveh. What happened next? The people “repented and relented” of their selfishness and buffoonery. As a result, they freed themselves from their self-inflicted bondage. Then the city was transformed and revived. This revival should have made Jonah happy. Not on your life. Jonah was still so angry that the seaweed on his head cooked. He wanted condemnation, not liberation. Jonah wanted God to judge them and teach those people a lesson or two. Isn’t it interesting that when we are in trouble, we plead for mercy and for-

giveness? When we dislike those in need or don’t believe the way we do, we want justice. We want God to judge and condemn them. What’s God trying to teach us here? That mercy triumphs over judgment. That there are consequences to our choices, but God uses those as a last resort. That’s it’s possible to know about God but not know God. And that the same thing that brings us down can also bring us up. Never doubt that a person, city or country is beyond changing directions (repenting) and receiving the love of God. Also, never doubt that a believer who refuses to do God’s will or is away from God can’t return to God. Someone once said, your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start. Thus saith the ﬁsh and the dove.

As schools reopen, Arizona confronts high rates of COVID-19 BY KATHERINE SYPHER Cronkite News

As public schools prepare to reopen classrooms, some concerning data was provided by health officials. Arizona has one of the highest rates of COVID-19 in young people in the nation—driven in part, experts say, by a large population of children of color, who are more likely to have underlying health conditions that make them susceptible to the disease. As of Sept. 10, youth made up 10% of cumulative COVID-19 cases in the U.S. but 12.7% of Arizona cases, according to the most recent report by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association. The state’s rate of 1,426.5 cases per 100,000 youth was the third-highest among 48 states reporting, behind Tennessee and South Carolina. States report COVID-19 cases in young people differently. Arizona and 27 other states use an age bracket of 19 and younger. Others use 18 and younger, and a few use either 0-14 or 0-20

Special education teacher selected as top 10 ﬁnalist for Teacher of the Year BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Shaylyn Savage, a Pendergast school district special education teacher at Sunset Ridge School in Glendale, was a top 10 finalist in the competition for the Arizona Teacher of the Year. Savage is in her ninth year of teaching special education resources to middle school students. “I am a passionate educator who believes all students can achieve success when given the correct tools and support. I hold students to high expectations and build their confidence

so that they can be empowered to advocate for themselves and go after their dreams,” Savage said. Shaylyn’s principal, Brian Winefsky, is fully supportive of Shaylyn and shares his thoughts on her award. “Ms. Savage is a passionate and dedicated teacher who consistently goes above and beyond to do her best in everything she undertakes,” said Brian Winefsky, the Sunset Ridge principal. “Her kindness, persistence, passion as well as her warmth and personality make her the perfect educator and

mentor for her students.” Pendergast Superintendent Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux said, “This is an amazing honor for Shaylyn and for the Pendergast District and shows the quality of teachers on our staff. Shaylyn worked extremely hard to show her determination and dedication to her students, staff members, families and the community she serves.” Savage was not one of the top five named 2021 AEF Arizona Ambassadors for Excellence. The Teacher of the Year award will be presented Oct. 23.

convinced the test wasn’t done properly. Pediatricians and public health experts believe a couple of factors may be contributing to the cases among young Arizonans. An August study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that Hispanic youth were hospitalized for COVID-19 more than three times as much as white youth, while Black youth were hospitalized twice as much as whites. A later CDC study found that Native American children were 3.5 times more likely to have COVID-19 than white children. And last week, a CDC report found that 78% of individuals younger than 21 who have died from COVID-19 were Hispanic, Black and Native American. In her blog post, Christ said higher rates of testing might also be playing a role in Arizona’s youth numbers, and noted that about 12% of all people tested in the state have been under age 20. Nevertheless, 16.6% of youth tested for COVID have been positive in ArizoSEE COVID-19 PAGE 29

Girl Scout sews, donates caps BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Cooper Hidalgo, Girl Scout Troop 7143, heard her mother’s friend, a nurse, say, “We don’t have enough protective head caps for our nurses and student nurses.” Cooper thought this would be a great opportunity to work on her Take Action badge.

na. And that positivity rate is far higher than several other states that also are testing higher rates of children, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics report. When children and adolescents do get the virus, they are less likely to get sick than adults. Rarely, kids may develop multisystem inflammatory syndrome, or MIS-C, a severe condition found in some children diagnosed with COVID-19 that can cause fever, rash, shock, severe inflammation and organ

come up with a pattern to make head caps for the nurses to wear. Her teacher guided Cooper on how to make the hats and off she went. After receiving donated materials from friends and family, after two months, Cooper delivered 30 caps to the nurses at Banner University Medical hospital. She also delivered caps to other family friends who are nurses and work at Banner hospitals around the Valley. She will also send some head caps to the Navajo nation. “This was a fun project. I really enjoyed making these hats,” Cooper said. “I could not have completed this project without my sewing teacher, grandparents and friends providing supplies and my sewing teacher, Ms. Anita, for showing me all the steps to make these hats. Ms. Anita is an amazing teacher!”

damage. But as many as 45% of children that have the virus may have no symptoms at all, according to the CDC. Baby Jay and his parents have just finished their two-week quarantine at home. Jay’s fever subsided, and Gipson-McLean has returned to work. But her own struggles to even get her son tested were disheartening, she said. “I’m sure it’d be discouraging for someone who doesn’t have the time or the resources or the wherewithal to be able to figure all that out.”

YOUTH 29

The effects of COVID-19 can be seen across many industries, but not many are as categorically impacted as the Valley’s educational system. Parents and educators are especially concerned about special needs students and those with individualized education programs (IEPs) getting the services they need and deserve during the global pandemic. Many schools have pivoted to virtual learning environments, which can be challenging not only for special needs students but for all types of kids. At the Children’s Center for Neurodevelopmental Studies in Glendale, we spent the last few months focused on ways to make our facility safer for the special needs students we service. From remodeled classrooms and updated outdoor areas to new technology and classroom furniture that encourages social distancing, many modifications were made to accommodate our students, many of whom are on the autism spectrum, during the COVID-19 crisis. Whether kids are participating virtually or returning to in-person learning, consistency and routine is very important for regular and special ed students. This can make a real difference between frustrated children and parents and a successful fall semester. Here are a few tips for families as they navigate uncharted virtual learning territory: • Everyone is unique. Don’t compare your workspace, time spent or child’s needs to others right now. Each district, school and student is different; that’s especially applicable in special education. Afford yourself and your kiddo some grace as you collaborate to build the best learning environment for

success. • Give yourself a break. Students and parents need a break from the computer screen and from the rigors of online learning, not to mention the stress of navigating this new learning protocol. Make time each day to take a breather. Step outside and get some fresh air. Stand up and stretch. Find tools and strategies that help you and your child unwind and decompress throughout the day. • Have some fun. After months of living through a global pandemic, try to set your child up for success and a positive attitude about school. Create a reward system for daily habits like washing hands, sanitizing work stations, getting classwork done, planning for the day ahead or whatever speaks to your student’s needs. The Children’s Center for Neurodevelopmental Studies opened in 1978 and provides an invaluable resource for families with children on the autism spectrum. We are a full-service, nonprofit organization that provides comprehensive educational, therapeutic and habilitative programs for children and young adults ages 3-22, including positive behavior intervention and support, occupational therapy, speech therapy and community-based instruction.
