The 2026 Arizona Youth Survey (AYS) is coming up! Conducted every two years by the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission in partnership with ASU, this survey asks 8th, 10th, and 12th graders statewide about substance use, attitudes, and other behaviors. (azcjc.gov)

Why Participate? Only takes one class period, is administered electronically, and is completely anonymous. Principals get data for their own school to see what's really happening locally. Understanding both risk and protective factors helps schools tailor programs where they are needed most. Findings can help schools and local agencies justify the need for grant-funded programs. Quick facts: Registration is now open for the Spring 2026 administration. Survey can be completed any day between January 26, 2026 and May 15, 2026. Targets 8th, 10th, and 12th-grade students across all 15 Arizona counties. Collects information on substance use, student attitudes, and other factors that help young people make healthy choices. Only principals can see the data from their specific school. For more information visit:

Birdman stops be the Pinetop Coffee House to chat with the owner Mike Moffenbier.

Mike Moffenbier – Pinetop Coffee House & Brewery

Mike Moffenbier, owner of Pinetop Coffee House & Brewery, is not only a passionate entrepreneur but also a proud U.S. Army Veteran. His dedication to service—both to country and to community—shines through in the way he runs his business.

Under his leadership, Pinetop Coffee House & Brewery has become far more than a place to grab a cup of coffee or a pint. It's a community hub, a gathering space where locals and visitors come together to enjoy craft coffee, small-batch beer, good food, and genuine connection.

Mike's background as a veteran instilled in him a strong sense of discipline, teamwork, and commitment—values that continue to guide his approach to business and community involvement. He actively supports local events, collaborates with chambers of commerce, and opens his doors to community gatherings, helping Pinetop-Lakeside remain vibrant and welcoming.

For Mike, it's about creating a place that blends quality, hospitality, and local pride, while continuing his lifelong commitment to service in a new way—through business, friendship, and community.
