was recently inspired to quit smoking after seeing the film, “Good night
and Good luck,” about the legendary newscaster Edward R. Murrow, who--in
addition to being a triumphant truth seeker--was a heavy smoker that died
from lung cancer at age 57. Ed says that although he greatly admires
Murrow for being a champion for a free and independent press, he does not
want to suffer his same fate. Ed would like to thank his patient wife and

November 15, 2005 -- The
newly re-constructed intersection of Glendale and 59th avenues in downtown
Glendale opened to traffic on Sunday, a day earlier than expected from the
final project timeline readjustment.
Originally the opening had been slated
for November 1, however, that was set earlier in the projects progress.
The Glendale Daily Planet was impressed that the project was
completed in this timely manner even though construction crews had
to deal with rain, old placements of utilities and other surprises.
The intersection had been closed since
May 16 while a new bridge was being built to carry Glendale and 59th over
Grand Avenue, which remains closed between 56th and Myrtle avenues.
The opening of the intersection marked a major
milestone in the $26 million project, which is scheduled for completion
early next summer, when Grand Avenue will be reopened to traffic. When the
project is completed, a half-mile section of Grand Avenue will be below
ground, passing beneath the 59th and Glendale intersection. Myrtle Avenue
and 57th Drive will serve as the primary connections between Grand Avenue
and downtown Glendale.
As the 59th and Glendale intersection reopened, crews were preparing to
close eastbound Myrtle Avenue and northbound 61st Avenue at Grand Avenue.
The closure will take effect as early as Monday, November 14th. It will
allow completion of a 108-inch storm sewer along Grand Avenue. Myrtle
Avenue remains open to the east of Grand Avenue, providing access to
downtown Glendale. Myrtle will reopen to the west of Grand Avenue in
early December. The closure of 61st Avenue is permanent.

information during the life of the project please see www.grandimprovements.com

GLENDALE
AND AAA ANNOUNCE 1400 JOBS AT NEW CORPORATE CENTER
GLENDALE, Ariz.
-
Today, the city of Glendale formally announced an agreement to bring a AAA
Regional Center to the Talavi Business Park, located at 5353 W. Bell Road.
This announcement fits with city's overall
strategy to bring quality, high paying jobs to Glendale and is the largest
business locate that the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC) has ever
assisted with in the West Valley.
"We are very pleased to welcome AAA to
our community", states Mayor Elaine Scruggs. "We are
extremely proud that this leader in the travel industry has chosen to
locate in Glendale. Their corporate presence enhances our city's
reputation as a great place to live, an exciting destination to visit, and
a vibrant community that offers dynamic job opportunities."
The office will house up to 1400 jobs in the next
three years, making it one of the city's top 5 largest employers. A
significant number of jobs will be considered "high-wage"
positions, paying $75,000 or more.
It
is estimated that this corporate presence will provide $42.1 million in
capital investment to the city of Glendale and over 10 years, Glendale
will see direct revenues of $12 million, with a regional direct benefit
estimated at $1.8 billion.
Regional partners in the project include the
Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Maricopa Community Colleges, Arizona
Department of Commerce and AAA,
Add 1+1+1 Maricopa
Workforce Connections.
As
North America's largest auto and leisure travel organization, AAA provides
nearly 49 million members with travel, insurance, financial and auto
services, as well as member-exclusive savings. Since its founding in 1902,
the not-for-profit, fully taxpaying AAA has been a leader and advocate for
the safety and security of all travelers.
Governor Janet Napolitano congratulated The City
of Glendale for their growth and stressed the necessity of education and
English language literacy being paramount in attracting new business to
Arizona
-
The city of Glendale reeled in one of the nation's most
famous and coveted retailers today with City Council's unanimous decision
to take the first step in building the
Valley's largest sportsman's paradise at Zanjero,
a retail destination just north of the Glendale Arena and Cardinal's
Stadium.
Council gave the go-ahead to
finalize a development agreement with
Cabela's,
the world's foremost outfitter of hunting, fishing and outdoor gear,
which will serve as the anchor to a
565,000-square-foot, mega destination retail project
that will attract 4 million visitors annually, create up to 400 jobs, pump
more than $100 million annually into
the Glendale economy. The project also sets
the stage for a whitewater recreation park, another luxury hotel
development and the
nation's most impressive family entertainment experience.
Cabela's Kansas, Michigan and
Pennsylvania stores are the number one
tourist
attractions in double the number or visitors
than Tempe Town Lake or Bank One Ballpark.
"Glendale promised its
residents additional development along Loop 101
that would enhance quality of life, provide recreational
amenities and create jobs - all while retaining
sales tax benefits within the city," said City Manager Ed Beasley.
"This partnership with Cabela's and Zanjero has delivered on that
promise and exceeded all expectations for quality and
value."
Since opening in 1961, Cabela's has
secured the largest world share of the sportsman's market,
selling
hunting, fishing, camping and related outdoor merchandise to 13 million
regular customers.
This agreement calls for the
Cabela's store to include a walk-through freshwater aquarium,
museum, restaurant and conservation
mountain - all of which will be attractions for tourists, school groups
and citizens. In fact, more than 25,000 schoolchildren are expected to
tour in the first year alone.
"We are excited to bring our
world-famous retail experience to our great customers who live in
Glendale, as well as to the thousands of
hunters, anglers and other visitors who travel through the area every
year," said Dennis Highby, President and CEO of Cabela's Inc.
"Glendale is a dynamic, fast- growing
city and we believe a Cabela's store will be the perfect fit for Glendale
and all of Arizona."
Other partnerships being proposed
include a whitewater, river-walk recreation park in concert
with
Salt River Project and a 4-star, I5O-room hotel.
Glendale's investment is limited to
public amenities such as roads and other infrastructure on the
Zanjero site that will not only provide the
backbone for additional development, but also provide connectivity
between Zanjero, Westgate and the NFL stadium site.
"Zanjero occupies a prime
location in an exciting, high-density area, alongside other new
mixed-use developments that surround
a pair of soon-to-debut sports/entertainment facilities," said
Lew Patrick, Zanjero Boulevard Land
Company partner. "The area will become the centerpiece of
steadily expanding Glendale, Arizona and
Zanjero will become the preferred address." Glendale's
Cabela's will break ground in the summer of2005 and sets the standard for
future destination retail
development. It is expected to open in August 2006.
On January 2, 1914, Otto R. Hansen and his
wife, Mae Catlin Hansen, filed with the Township of Glendale, the
subdivision still known today as Catlin Court. The area is from the center
of Myrtle Avenue (Harrison Street) traveling North to the center of
Orangewood Drive (Cleveland Street). The East and West boundaries are from
the center of 59th Avenue (Meridian Street) to the center of 55th Drive
(Seventh Avenue).
Growth and development of this area thrived
from 1917 to the 1930's. Many of the home designs came out of the plan
book "Ye Planry." Therefore, the prominent architectural
style of the time was the Craftsman Bungalow. Later in the 1920's and the
1930's the Spanish Eclectic and Minimal Traditional style architectures
where introduced to the area.
This was one of the earliest, fashionable
neighborhoods in the township of Glendale. Many of the former mayors,
wealthy merchants, doctors, reverends, builders and educators lived in
these homes.
The purpose of the booklet is to help you to identify
the homes and learn a little about their history.
Enjoy your tour as you take a step back in
time.

HISTORIC DOWNTOWN
GLENDALE AND CERRETA'S
CANDY COMPANY NAMED "ARIZONA TREASURES"
GLENDALE, Ariz. - Although Historic
Downtown Glendale has been named by USA Today & Sunset Magazine as one
of the country's 10 best shopping districts, with a recent visit by
Governor Janet Napolitano, one of the state's most unique downtown
experiences has a new title, "Arizona Treasure."
The Arizona Treasures tour, sponsored by
the Governor's Office and the Arizona Office of Tourism, is designed to
honor and introduce Arizonans to some of the premiere vacation
destinations within our state.
On Tuesday, Nov. 1, during a visit to
the area, the Governor designated Historic Downtown Glendale and Cerreta's
Candy Company as two Arizona Treasures.
"The success of Downtown Glendale
is the result of hard work, imagination and a partnership among business
owners, residents and local government," stated Mayor Elaine Scruggs.
"We have always believed that our downtown is a unique treasure in
our state, and we are extremely proud to be honored with this recognition
from the Governor."
A thriving and completely restored
historic destination, Downtown Glendale is actually two neighborhoods -
Historic Catlin Court with its white picket fences and mature shade trees
welcoming visitors to the Bungalows-turned-specialty shops, and Old Towne,
boasting brick-trimmed sidewalks and glowing gaslights leading the way to
the famous antique stores. The neighborhoods span 12 square blocks, which
can easily be strolled in an afternoon.
In addition to one-of-a-kind antiques and
home furnishings, visitors to the area also find a medley of
imports, jewelry, art, crafts,
collectables, bath and body accessories, ethnic eateries, teahouses and
museums. Of course, a visit to Glendale is not complete without a tour of
the Cerreta Candy Company. Here, visitors can learn the art of
chocolate-making and get free, mouth-watering samples. For more than 70
years, the Cerreta family has prepared their candy the old fashioned way
-- by hand.

“GOOD
NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK.” takes place during the early days of broadcast
journalism in 1950’s America.It chronicles the real-life conflict between television news man
Edward R. Murrow (DAVID STRATHAIRN) and Senator Joseph McCarthy and the
Permanent Sub-committee on Investigations (Government Operations
Committee).With
a desire to report the facts and enlighten the public, Murrow, and his
dedicated staff - headed by his producer Fred Friendly (GEORGE CLOONEY)
and Joe Wershba (ROBERT DOWNEY JR.) in the CBS newsroom - defy corporate
and sponsorship pressures to examine the lies and scaremongering tactics
perpetrated by McCarthy during his communist ‘witch-hunts.’A very public feud develops when the Senator responds by accusing
the anchor of being a communist.In
this climate of fear and reprisal, the CBS crew carries on regardless and
their tenacity eventually pays off when McCarthy is brought before the
Senate and made powerless as his lies and bullying tactics are finally
uncovered.
Directed
by George Clooney, who co-wrote the script with the film's producer Grant
Heslov, “GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK.” stars David Strathairn as Murrow, Clooney as Fred Friendly,
Robert Downey, Jr. and Patricia Clarkson as Joe and Shirley Wershba, Frank
Langella as Bill Paley, Ray Wise as Don Hollenbeck, Heslov as Don Hewitt,
and Jeff Daniels as Sig Mickelson.GRAMMY® Award-winner Dianne Reeves appears and performs in the
film as well.
A
Section Eight, 2929Entertainment, and Participant Productions
production, “GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK.” was executive produced by
Todd Wagner, Mark Cuban, Marc Butan, Steven Soderbergh, Jennifer Fox, Ben
Cosgrove, Jeff Skoll and Chris Salvaterra.
SYNOPSIS
The
year is 1953, television is still in its infancy and the esteemed
broadcast journalist, Edward R. Murrow (DAVID STRATHAIRN), anchors the
popular news documentary show, “See
it Now,”
on CBS. Murrow, alongside producer Fred Friendly (GEORGE CLOONEY),
oversees a show that reports on the news items of the day. He also hosts
the talk show “Person to Person,” yet “the face of television” is
happiest as a news reporter.
The
CBS TV newsroom is a constant hive of activity with secretaries typing, AP
and UPI wires clicking away and the bustling of camera crews. Murrow has a
dedicated crew of reporters that includes Don Hewitt (GRANT HESLOV), Joe
Wershba (ROBERT DOWNEY JR.), Palmer Williams (TOM MCCARTHY), Jesse Zousmer
(TATE DONOVAN), John Aaron (REED DIAMOND), Charlie Mack (ROBERT JOHN
BURKE) and Eddie Scott (MATT ROSS). All these men will become broadcast
legends, but right now, their careers are just beginning. They get
together to screen the various topics of the day and discuss potential
stories.
One
such story is that of a U.S. Air Force reservist, Lieutenant Milo
Radulovich, who was kicked out of the U.S. Air Force forbeing
a security risk. Declared guilty without a trial, he had been asked to
denounce his father and sister to stay on, but he refused. All charges
against him have been kept sealed. Murrow reports this on the show despite
opposition from the number two at CBS, Sig Mickelson (JEFF DANIELS), who
fears he may be getting the show into hot water. Murrow and Friendly are
so committed to the program they even decide to pay for the advertising
revenue lost from the show’s sponsors that have military contacts.
A
powerful figure at the time is Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin, on a
singular crusade to rid the country of communists. His relentless pursuit
of anyone he feels may have connections to the communist party has allowed
a sense of paranoia to seep into the public consciousness. Such is the
reach of his power that people from the armed services to the creative
community are forced to quit their jobs and go into exile based on his
attacks.
Murrow
suspects that McCarthy may have had something to do with Radulovich’s
dismissal and worries that his closed hearings and theatrical vitriol both
hide the fact that he has no real proof and are eroding people’s civil
liberties. The Radulovich show airs and prompts an indirect response from
McCarthy. Sure enough, because of Murrow’s questioning and probing of
the case, he is accused of being a communist sympathizer. The anchor knows
in his heart that it is all lies purely designed to scare his team away.
The
attack only prompts the news crew into further action, and after a meeting
with the supportive CBS boss William Paley (FRANK LANGELLA), Murrow
decides to fight fire with fire and report on what he feels are all the
inadequacies and lies perpetrated by the McCarthy hearings.
The
McCarthy show airs and Murrow’s editorial both at the beginning and the
end of the show is nothing short of brilliant. He manages to highlight the
serious issues involved in the McCarthy hearings: namely, the line between
investigation and ‘persecution’; that dissent is not disloyalty;
accusation is not proof; conviction depends upon evidence and due
process of law; and finally, as defenders of freedom abroad, the US
cannot desert it at home. What’s more, rather than direct attack,
McCarthy is only seen and heard in the context of using his own words, all
of which seems
to exemplify all of the above problems. Critics hail it as a masterpiece
of crusading journalism and high responsibility not often found in
television. For now, the knowledge of McCarthy’s tactics is out in the
public domain and Murrow is safe.
Suddenly,
Radulovich is reinstated yet McCarthy’s theatrical hearings continue,
still spouting accusations at people based on hearsay. The show reports on
the hearings of Annie Lee Moss whereby Senator McClellan insists they,
McCarthy and aide Roy Cohn, supply him the corroborative evidence labeled
against her. The public gets to witness how secretive, even flimsy, the
accusations are.
Murrow
invites McCarthy onto the show to respond. The Senator agrees but his
rebuttal will be pre-filmed and he will need time to prepare. Eventually
it airs, and predictably, he continues to accuse Murrow of communist ties
without addressing any of the accusations leveled against him. Evidently,
if he were to take issue with the factual content of the show itself, he
would undermine his own words. Murrow details this in the following
week’s broadcast and clears his character, once again denying any
involvement with the communist party, feeling that his search for the
truth, even if it means the attentions
of McCarthy, is worth it. Again, the Senator gets a critical drubbing from
the press and sees favorable opinion polls waver.
The
show has captured, in the mind of the public, the spite of McCarthy
highlighted by the insidiousness of his investigative tactics.With this spotlight in place, the Senate begins to take steps to
censure the senator and vote him off as chairman of the committee.
For
Murrow, his pioneering show and its news department, was what defined CBS.
Yet, the show was moved out of its weekly slot to Sunday and only five
more episodes were ordered. Paley sited the changing of the times and how
it was entertainment that people wanted from their TV those days. Still,
the legacy of Murrow’s show is one of pioneering investigative
journalism. Whether it was an exposé on such topics as segregation,
apartheid, the exploitation of migrant workers or the famous conflict with
Senator Joseph McCarthy, Murrow would go on to influence generations to
come.
"We
will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into
an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine; and
remember that we are not descended from fearful men. Not from men who
feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were
for the moment unpopular.
This
is no time for men who oppose Senator McCarthy's methods to keep silent,
or for those who approve. We can deny our heritage and our history, but we
cannot escape responsibility for the result. There is no way for a citizen
of a republic to abdicate his responsibilities. As a nation we have come
into our full inheritance at a tender age. We proclaim ourselves, as
indeed we are, the defenders of freedom, wherever it continues to exist in
the world, but we cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.
