Mesa Police Department’s top cop, Chief Frank Milstead, took the “Ice Water Challenge” to raise money and aware-ness for support for first responders such as police and fire.

The ice water challenge has been a part of social media for the past month, with police chiefs and public informa-tion officers from departments including Phoenix, Tempe, Gilbert, and Mesa taking a plunge or dumping cold water on them as part of a fundraising opportunity.

The challenge began as a dare: donate $20 if you dump icy water on yourself or jump in a pool of frigid water, or, if you’re not brave enough, donate $100. Sgt. Mike Pooley of Tempe PD filled the bed of a Tempe PD Pickup with a tarp and ice water and took the plunge in full uniform, while Mesa PD Sgt. Tony Landato sat in a trough and had ice and water poured over him. Sgt. Landato called out Chief Milstead to also take the challenge, which he did July 9.

In an event sponsored by The Kenny Klaus Team, Chief Milstead went down an inflatable waterslide, ending up fully submerged in 33 degree water. The charity supported by the event was The 100 Club of Arizona, which exists to provide immediate financial assistance to families of pub-lic safety officers and firefighters who are seriously injured or killed in the line of duty, and to provide resources to enhance their safety and welfare.

Donations can still be given to The 100 Club of Arizo-na by visiting The 100 Club of Arizona or by contact-ing Barb McReynolds of the Mesa Police Department at 480.254.4023.

Neighborhood Network Meeting Helps Local Firms Get the Word OutOn the third Tuesday of each month, en-trepreneurs gather at 7:30 am at The HUB Grill and Bar at 1925 S Sossaman to share resources, exchange business cards, dis-cuss marketing opportunities, and share about their services and products.

This free event connects people from vary-ing industries and allows them to expand their referral databases and share things they’ve learned or read that can benefit all.

In addition, Your Community Connection, who sponsors the network meetings, of-fers free video interviews that help the local firms get the word out and, since the videos are hosted at YouTube, helps them build their SEO to expand their reach. Recently, one of these videos was posted at 85212.com and 85209.com with an interview with local resident Larry Jack of JAX Pro Pest Control.

All are welcome to attend these free events. The next meetings are Tuesday, August 19 and Tuesday, September 16 at 7:30 am at The HUB Grill & Bar.

Allegiant Air to add flights to CincinnatiBeginning November 12, Allegiant air will launch two nonstop flights a week to Cincinnati, making it the most eastern destination for travel-ers departing Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport.

The addition of Cincinnati brings the number of nonstop destinations at Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport to 35, including year-round service to cities like Las Vegas, Oakland, and Bellingham, Washington, which is just across the Canadian border from

Vancouver, British Columbia. Alle-giant also offers seasonal flights to Honolulu and Telluride, Colorado.

Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport served approximately 1.4 million passengers in 2013, showing growth over 2012.

The Cincinnati flights will land at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Inter-national Airport in Hebron, Kentucky, about fifteen miles from downtown Cincinnati in neighboring Ohio.
