Good morning, Glendale.
Glendale Firefighters Charities (supported by community partners) hosted Water Safety Day on June 13 at Rose Lane Aquatics Center where families could attend CPR training, see a mock drowning demonstration, and receive free pool admission and giveaways.
The event stressed active supervision near water to reduce drownings.
Two incoming seniors from Mountain Ridge (Shamitha Doki and Nandana Warrier) and a Deer Valley Unified district administrator will represent Arizona at the inaugural AI Fellowship in Boston from July 17-19 during America’s Youth AI Festival.
Peoria native David Vosekalns from Great Hearts' Glendale Preparatory Academy has been admitted to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis; he is one of 17 Arizona students selected for this opportunity.
Glendale opened its new city hall Thursday morning and sealed a time capsule for 2060 — a ceremony marked by a ribbon cutting and local displays featuring school board items, police patches and award-winning musicians.
After the June 9 City Council workshop, Glendale officials said water cuts are expected as levels in Lake Mead and Lake Powell remain low (the Salt River Project system dropped from 67% last year to 54% on June 8) and alternative supplies may soon be used.
Arizona may see up to 77% cut in its Colorado River water if states fail to agree on a plan, as federal guidelines and updated allocation rules are expected by mid-July & final decisions by August.
State proposals for voluntary cuts aim to protect water supplies amid ongoing shortages.
