Families and Officials Unite at Gilbert Meeting to Tackle Teen Violence


At the Gilbert Town Council Subcommittee on Youth Violence's latest meeting, held at the Southeast Regional Library, the community gathered to voice concerns and share experiences related to the ongoing issue of teen violence.

The meeting, which attracted around 60 attendees, offered a platform for meaningful dialogue between the subcommittee, including Vice Mayor Scott Anderson and council members Chuck Bongiovanni and Jim Torgeson, and the public.

Notably, family members of victims, such as Jamiere Jenkins and Stephen Jacobo, spoke about their personal losses, emphasizing the impact of violence on their lives. The meeting also addressed the police's efforts to combat teen violence, with Gilbert Police Chief Michael Soelberg reporting significant arrests.

Criticisms were voiced regarding the perceived lack of empathy from town leadership, though council members responded by highlighting their shared concerns as parents themselves. Additionally, discussions included the importance of school involvement and parental responsibility in addressing teen violence, with school board members expressing caution about overburdening schools with social emotional responsibilities.

The subcommittee emphasized its commitment to translating public input into actionable measures to address teen violence, showcasing progress on initiatives such as a teen survey and legislative efforts to restrict access to weapons like brass knuckles.

Celebrating Community and Cuisine: Navi Singh's Five-Year Milestone with Native Grill and Wings

Navi Singh, a Gilbert resident with a profound affinity for hot wings and cold beer, has turned his passion into a successful business venture by purchasing a franchise of Native Grill and Wings at 4341 E. Baseline Road, Gilbert.

Celebrating five years of ownership this month, Singh's journey in the restaurant industry traces back to his family's roots in the business, managing various establishments from Arby’s and Subway locations to an Indian restaurant.

His hands-on experience, gained from working across different roles within these establishments since the age of 17, laid the foundation for his venture into franchising with Del Taco before acquiring the Native Grill and Wings.

Singh's dedication to understanding every aspect of restaurant operations, from kitchen to customer service, has been key to his success. He emphasizes the importance of creating a welcoming atmosphere for both guests and staff and is actively involved in community service, regularly donating to local schools.

Despite facing industry-wide challenges such as staffing and managing rising costs, Singh remains committed to the hospitality sector, driven by his love for people and the dynamics of restaurant management. His story exemplifies the blend of passion, experience, and community engagement in building a thriving business.
