GLENDALE FILES SUIT TO BLOCK CASINO
Much has been said in the public forum about the Tohono O’odham Nation’s application to the United States Department of Interior to take land into trust near 91st and Northern Avenues in Glendale, Arizona and turn it into an Indian reservation for the purpose of developing a casino on the site.

It is clear that removing the land from all state and local jurisdiction and converting this property to an Indian reservation presents very significant issues for the citizens and business owners of Glendale. These issues are multilayered and complex but worth understanding because they will affect the future of the city.  They cannot fully appreciated by, as some have, merely pointing to a nice drawing and talking how nice it would be to have a resort and casino in the West Valley.  Because the Tohono O’odham proposal will have a detrimental impact on the future of the city, the city has committed to its residents to take all reasonable, necessary, and prudent actions to oppose the Tribe’s application.  These actions will assure that the best interests of our citizens are fairly and fully addressed.

On April 7th, 2009, the Glendale City Council adopted a resolution (pdf) opposing the Tribe’s Trust Application with the Department of Interior.  It is the city’s position that the Tribe’s application is poor public policy; violates governmental rights, privileges, and authority of the state of Arizona, the county of Maricopa and the city of Glendale; and is contrary to the best interests of the citizens of Arizona, Maricopa County and Glendale.

The city’s position is grounded in three areas:

Social Impacts

The creation of an Indian reservation poses multiple issues to the city of Glendale, its residents, and its business owners.  The state, county, and the city will lose any control over activity at the proposed site.  Essentially, the Tohono O’odham will be able to put or allow anything they desire on the proposed reservation site.  As a result, the concerns and issues presented by local residents may well be ignored or, at best, be left to federal authorities located thousands of miles away who likely will have never been to the site and will have no connection to the community. More Information>>

Financial Impacts

NO tax revenue will come directly to the city from the operation of the proposed casino, resort or any other development on the site.  Nonetheless, if the Tribe’s proposal is successful, the city may have to provide services to and around the site.  While other development and the citizens of Glendale pay for city services, development on the Indian reservation would be required to contribute nothing although the city will provide all services to the property. More Information>>

Legal Impacts

Arizona law provides on Indian gaming on existing reservations only.  The voters and the legislators have enacted laws that prohibit gaming on newly created reservation lands.  However, the Tribe attempts to invoke two federal laws to support its application for the Secretary of the Interior to create an Indian reservation within Glendale.  Those laws are the Gila Bend Indian Reservation Lands Replacement Act and the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act.  The city believes that the Tribe’s interpretation of these laws is incorrect and that the creation of an Indian reservation at the proposed site is illegal.

Artwerks Lateral 58
A new downtown event spotlights art & culture in Glendale every 1st Saturday thru May  10am till 4pm in the historic downtown area. Along the breezeway, in the middle of the block, along 58th Ave between Glendale and Glenn, a delightful group of artist will gather in plein air under the trees to work and display their art, perform their music and share camaraderie. Many have art available for purchase. 

 

A city’s story can be told through public arts and culture marking its most historic spaces. Glendale’s historic downtown offers a glimpse into the journey Glendale has made over its 100 years. A new event kicking off in Historic Downtown Glendale in November aims to spotlight those existing art and cultural treasures while also inspiring new ones.

Called Artwerks Lateral 58, the event takes its name from the historic 58th parallel (now 58th Avenue) in the heart of Glendale’s downtown. The first Artwerks events will be held Saturdays in conjunction with Glendale Glitters, the city’s annual holiday festival season, and will feature live performing artists, local painters, sculptors, dancers and musicians.

 

Artists will be set up along the historic and recently renovated alleyway just east of downtown’s Murphy Park at 58th Avenue, and event goers will have the opportunity to watch artists at work as well as tour the historic area and enjoy its many boutique shops and dining options.

The day-long events will conclude just as the blanket of twinkling lights for Glendale Glitters begin to illuminate the night sky. Glitters season art events are Nov. 27, Dec. 4, 11 and 18 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and noon to 4 p.m. for musicians.

Artwerks will then take place regularly on the first Saturday of the month beginning in February.

The goal of Artwerks Lateral 58 is to have the arts flourish in Glendale’s Centerline district creating a cultural community creatively and collectively; connecting the unique businesses located in Glendale’s Centerline district with the local arts community. Studies have shown that investing in arts and culture not only enhance the quality of life for a downtown area, but also have a strong economic impact on local business by creating a vibrant energy that attracts residents, merchants and visitors. A recent study, titled Arts and Prosperity III, found that nonprofit arts and culture generate more than $6.6 million in the city of Glendale and more than $839,000 in local and state government revenue.

Glendale’s Economic Development Department is working in partnership with Fusion Foundation, a nonprofit arts organization, on the Artwerks events. Fusion Foundation will help in introducing new artists to downtown Glendale for the opportunity to showcase their work. The group will also help identify the needs of the business community and match these with local arts and culture resources to develop additional programs.

Turning Centerline into an artistic focal point and destination for the region will allow Glendale’s Economic Development Department to bring new investment opportunities to the district as well as other areas of the city. Glendale’s Centerline District is a dynamic live/work/play redevelopment project in the heart of Glendale.

The Centerline project area is located along Glendale Avenue from 43rd to 67th avenues, between Ocotillo and Myrtle. The long-term goal of the project is to revitalize the Glendale Avenue corridor by encouraging private business investment, job creation and the development of shopping, dining and recreational opportunities. The project will also result in enhanced infrastructure, public facilities, open space and neighborhoods.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed The Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons serving in the Revolutionary Army; another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionary War.
 
 They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
 
 What kind of men were they?
 
 Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.  
 Eleven were merchants.
 Nine were farmers and large plantation owners... men of means...well educated...  but
 they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured
 
 Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
 
 Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly.
 
 He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding.  His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
 
 Vandals or soldiers looted the properties of Dillery, Hall, Clymer, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
 
 At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson, Jr., noted that the British general, Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters.  He quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
 
 Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
 
 John Hart was driven from his wife's bedside as she lay dying.  Their 13 children fled for their lives.  His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste.
 
 For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished.

So, please take a few minutes while enjoying your 4th of July holiday to remember and silently thank these patriots.
 
 It's not much to ask, considering the price they paid.  
 Remember...FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE!

All Shook Up   June 3 - June 26, 2011

It’s the summer of 1955, in a small Midwest town, when a young girl with big dreams falls for a motorcycle-riding stud who charges into town, and suddenly the laws of attraction are turned on their head. All Shook Up is built around the songs made famous by the one-and-only Elvis Presley.  Heartbreak Hotel, Love Me Tender, Hound Dog, It’s Now or Never, Don’t Be Cruel, Jailhouse Rock, and many others, are the iconic hits that create the perfect backdrop for finding love in the unlikeliest of places.

KANSAS' first public statement appeared on their self-titled album in 1974, "From the beginning, we considered ourselves and our music different and we hope we will always remain so." Little did this legendary rock group realize that back in the early 70's, what "seemed to be different," was actually ahead of its time. Read More

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio appointed rock legend Ted Nugent deputy and was sworn in last summer in Arpaio’s downtown Phoenix office. Nugent is known for his conservative political views and defense of hunting and gun ownership rights. He has served on the board of directors of the National Rifle Association and is a spokesman for the Drug Abuse Resistance Education, National Field Archery Association, Mothers Against Drunk Driving and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.
At 62, the veteran rocker’s no holds barred career spans five decades of multi-platinum hits and more than 30 million albums sold. Both as a solo artist and with the Amboy Dukes and Damn Yankees, Nugent has amassed a sizable list of well-known hits, including "Journey To The Center Of The Mind," "Stranglehold," "Free For All," "Dog Eat Dog," "Wango Tango," "Cat Scratch Fever," "Motor City Madhouse," cult classic “Fred Bear,” "High Enough” and “Love Grenade.”
Hailing from Detroit, Nugent’s guitar talents and over-the-top onstage antics quickly earned young Ted the moniker of "Motor City Madman." Get your Nuge on! His fire-breathing intensity and the sound he wrings from his almighty Gibson Byrdland have placed him among the all-time greats of rock & roll.
In addition to music, Nugent is a New York Times best-selling author of Ted, White and Blue: The Nugent Manifesto and his autobiography titled God, Guns, & Rock n' Roll. He heads up his own hunting camp, owns his own hunting supply store and sells his own beef jerky.

Mr. Lucky -- Chris Isaak’s stunning new masterpiece -- perfectly balances the ecstasy of great romance with the agony of pure heartbreak. Mr. Lucky offers passionate music that feels decidedly lived-in. Like some rocking Sinatra album for the 21st Century, Mr. Lucky is a song cycle about the good luck we earn and the bad luck we just can’t seem to shake. Right from its killer opener -- the wonderfully tortured “Cheaters Town” -- to the concluding and uplifting “Big, Wide Wonderful World,” Isaak takes us all on a dark but beautiful ride -- one you will likely recognize as your own.
