Pyramid Peak Water Treatment Plant Expansion Potholing Activity Continuing for Saturday, Aug. 14
The City of Glendale has contracted with Achen-Gardner Construction to conduct potholing at two locations in 67th Avenue, between Beardsley and Pinnacle Peak Roads. One location at Mountain Ridge High School was completed this past weekend, with the second location south of Deer Valley, at Quail Avenue and 67th Avenue, scheduled to occur this coming Saturday. Potholing is a common practice during design and consists of excavating a hole, in this case several feet in diameter, to gather information related to underground utilities and subsurface soil conditions. This work is being done in preparation for installation of access points in the near future, to facilitate an assessment of the water transmission main in this area.
Scheduled to take place Saturday, Aug. 14, from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., crews will work in the east side of 67th Avenue, north of Quail Avenue. Traffic will be shifted to the west side of 67th Avenue, reduced to one lane in each direction with left turns restricted at Melinda Lane, and Quail Avenue will be CLOSED at 67th Avenue. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closure. Project Info: 602.532.6250.

Midwestern University
Gives High Schoolers Hands-on Look at Healthcare Careers
High school juniors and seniors interested in healthcare were given an in-depth and hands-on look at potential careers in various disciplines at Midwestern University’s annual Health Careers Institute for High School Students, which took place from July 12 – 16.
Attendees participated in 40 hours of workshops, labs, and interactive activities during the event, which was held for five days from 8:00am until 4:00pm each day. Forty-eight high schoolers from 32 schools – including three out-of-state schools – were selected for the program, including 40 juniors and eight seniors.
Midwestern faculty and student mentors volunteered to teach workshops in anatomy and introductory skills for various health professions, with a special focus on how to prepare for college and what to expect from each profession. Among the Midwestern student mentors were five students who attended the Health Careers Institute while they themselves were in high school.
Ninety-three Midwestern volunteers presented on career tracks and topics including Public Health, Precision Medicine, Osteopathic Medicine, Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy Skills, Dental Simulation Lab, Suturing, Medical Simulation, Pharmacy Lab, Veterinary Pathology, and more.
Applicants were selected based on their interest in science and the health professions, as demonstrated by coursework, volunteer activities, and high school transcript.
The Health Careers Institute for High School Students was funded as a result of generous financial support from BHHS Legacy Foundation, which is an Arizona charitable organization whose philanthropic mission is to enhance the quality of life and health of those it serves.
