In two decades as a Maricopa County prosecuting attorney, Gina Godbehere has seen some grisly crime scenes. Though her main function is to prove guilt in court, she takes a boots-on-the-ground approach, arriving at murder scenes as police are still identifying witnesses and investigators taking photos of those who were living just minutes before. Godbehere investigates dozens of homicides each year and has seen it all — shootings, stabbings, horrific car wrecks. What she saw five years ago at Independence High School in Glendale buckled her knees: Two 15-year-olds were dead after a murder-suicide. When she arrived at the campus the morning of Feb. 12, 2016, police officers were putting up crime scene tape and helicopters

flying overhead. “What was different was all of the parents in the blocked-off areas. You could just see in their faces the sense of urgency,” Godbehere said. She paused in her description to compose herself. “I’m a mother of two girls and can’t imagine that happening to my daughters — the school is on lockdown and a lot of anxiety, figuring out what we had and making sure the school was safe,” she said. As the investigation unfolded, it only disturbed the veteran prosecutor more. “In the days after, we heard there was some indication that (the shooter) had got a gun and had some conversations with other people. But nobody took that threat seriously,” Godbehere said. “When you think about that, with almost SEE PROSECUTOR PAGE 4

1B vaccine expands as COVID-19 rages BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

Pandemic pessimists and oasis optimists alike have reason to dig into their views. Even as Gov. Doug Ducey praised the rollout of vaccines at State Farm Stadium, COVID-19 continues to ravage the West Valley, with a stunning acceleration of the spread over the last week. West Valley coronavirus numbers surged far past the marker of 100 COVID-19 cases per 100,000 in a one-week period that is considered “substantial spread.”

The citywide average for Glendale rocketed from 511 cases per 100,000 to 811. Peoria increased from 633 cases per 100,000 to 958. Litchfield Park and Waddell also topped 800 cases per 100,000. Glendale ZIP code 85303 increased from 702 cases per 100,000 to 872, while 85301 increased from 538 to 753 cases per 100,000. Glendale 85305 nearly doubled from 578 to 1,007 cases per 100,000. Glendale 85302 also topped 1,000 COVID-19 cases per

100,000 population in the last week. Peoria 85383 increased from 711 to 1,084 cases per 100,000, while Peoria 85345 surged to 872 cases per 100,000. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data, Arizona has been the state with the highest spread in the country — yet the West Valley is many times above the state average of 125 cases per 100,000 in the last seven days. The national average is 71 cases per 100,000. While the deadly disease — more than SEE VACCINE PAGE 5

Debate over PUSD classroom closures BY ALLISON ENGSTROM Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Peoria Unified School District board held a special meeting Jan. 13 to discuss the use of COVID-19 metrics being used to determine in-person and virtual learning. The board meeting was informational, with no votes by the board members, but the community weighed in through online comments. At its Dec. 10 meeting, PUSD governing board voted unanimously to keep classrooms open after winter break “regardless of the benchmark data.” PUSD closed 13 schools for one day Jan. 11 after a teacher “sick out.” Peoria Unified School District was one of the few public school districts to keep classrooms open after winter break. In the first week since, COVID-19 cases in the PUSD surrounding community increased by more than 50%, nearing 1,000 per 100,000 population over seven days. (Anything over 100 cases per 100,000 is considered “substantial

spread.”) With winter break ending and kids back in school, parents and teachers in the community voiced their concerns or support about the board’s decision to dismiss the metrics. For nearly 30 minutes, emails were read at the board meeting, which was

held virtually. Several supported the board’s decision to continue keeping classrooms open and “families have the freedom of choice,” as Emily Wagner said. “Kids need to be in class, and if you wish to stay home then stay home. Children thrive in class versus sitting at home staring at a computer for six hours,” Jennifer West said. Others criticized the board and asked it to reconsider its decision to keep classrooms open regardless of COVID-19 data. Trina Berg, president of the Peoria Education Association, said there were more than 1,000 signatures signed a petition supporting “metrics to be put in place.” Most community member comments agreed that virtual learning is not ideal for neither students nor teachers, but many commented that they felt misled when the board dismissed the metrics they said would be considered.

every shooting that occurs it’s the same story: When you look back, there’s warning signs.” Another reason the Independence High tragedy hit Godbehere so hard was it was in her backyard. She was raised in Peoria and educated in Glendale, first at Cactus High, then at Glendale Community College. She moved to then-sleepy Goodyear two decades ago to start a family with her husband. The Independence High horror was deep in her mind when Godbehere attended the Leadership West conference in Goodyear. Godbehere was on a panel with then-Glendale Police Chief Debora Black and Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux, the Pendergast Elementary School District superintendent. “We were talking about missed warning signs. How can we get youth when they see something to speak up?” Godbehere recalled. “Dr. Lily was there and said, ‘We tell kids to speak up all the time — but they never do.’ So we thought, ‘Why don’t we put together a conference? If kids see something, they actually say something.’ We wanted youth to know it’s not being a tattletale or a snitch. They can speak up.” Months later, Godbehere and DeBlieux launched Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life. The conference clicked with communities around the West Valley. More districts heard about it each year, as the con-

ference grew to huge crowds last year at Grand Canyon University Arena. “Who would have thought we would have 10,000 people? It’s exciting,” Godbehere said. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life conference is virtual. Parts of the Jan. 19 conference will be shown at speakstandsave.com, which also has highlights from the 2020 conference. Though she said she will miss the electricity of kids in person buzzing in groups, Godbehere thinks the virtual conference will help spread the message even more. The mission of the conference: “encouraging students to speak up to a trusted adult about depression, suicide, grief, abuse and bullying is the first step toward saving a life.” As Godbehere put it, “As a community, stop that stigma of being a snitch or a tattletale. … We’re bringing all the stakeholders together. Everyone knows we have a problem with people missing warning signs.” DeBlieux said Godbehere is more than just a co-founder of the conference. “Gina has been the glue that has held the organization together. Her vision and insight have helped save lives. She has raised funds for the conference, collaborated with community partners and put her heart and soul into the organization,” the Pendergast leader said. “Gina is a true rock star, a great friend and colleague — and we are grateful for her servant leadership,” DeBlieux said.

Homicides rising

Godbehere is the bureau chief of the Northwest Valley Bureau in the Community Based Prosecution Division of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office. Working with kids, Godbehere thinks back to her days at Cactus High. “I presented a speech in English, and my teacher (Lyn Whaley) asked me if I ever thought of being an attorney,” she said. “I thought I was going to be a teacher until that day.” While attending Glendale Community College, she started working at the Glendale City Court, still living at her family home in Peoria near Thunderbird Acres. “Where I grew up, it was all cotton fields,” she said. “It was a great place to live.” Godbehere moved to Tempe, studying law at ASU, where she quickly ruled out criminal defense or corporate law. “I always wanted to be a prosecuting attorney. I have a lot of family involved in law enforcement, and I wanted to represent the victims of crime,” Godbehere said. After law school, Godbehere started working at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, where she helped develop the first Juvenile Drug Court. With homicides skyrocketing during the pandemic, Godbehere shakes her head at the growing pile of murder cases on her desk. “I have seen in my (homicide cases) a large number of younger defendants who were just making spontaneous decisions. … I’ve seen a lot of impulsive behavior by young adults with weapons. Like the shooting at the (Desert Sky) mall. That’s heartbreaking — a 15-year-old who lost his life after having words with the wrong person,” Godbehere said, referring to the March shooting of a teenager after an argument. Daymond Deray Hayes was arrested and charged with murder. “And then there was a young kid who lost his life Christmas morning after coming home from work,” she said, referring to the West Phoenix murder of 18-yearold Tyler Cardiel. “We’re seeing senseless loss of life.” According to the Phoenix Police Department, homicides and aggravated assaults increased by 25% in 2020 over 2019. While most of the West Valley has not seen huge jumps in murders, homicides significantly increased in Glendale.

January 21, 2021 In 2019, 19 murders happened in Glendale. The average number of homicides in the city from 2009-19 was 16. In 2020, the Glendale Police Department investigated 26 homicides. That is the highest number in 12 years and about 40% higher than the average. “We are seeing a huge spike (in homicides) because of the pandemic across the county. We’re also seeing a spike in domestic violence,” Godbehere said. “We’re also seeing an increase in substance abuse. That and financial stress with people losing their jobs can lead to domestic abuse,” she said. “We just know substance abuse often plays into things and spontaneous decisions. Being isolated, they’re letting loose — maybe from being cooped up for a while,” she said. She called the rise in violent crime “unprecedented. And scary.” During the pandemic, Godbehere has worked from home — except when she is on a crime scene or in court. Being home so much, she spends more time with her teenage daughters — and has to monitor her husband, a computer programmer. “He loves watching all the ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ and crime shows,” Godbehere said with a chuckle. There’s even a popular cable show called “‘The First 48,” which follows murder investigations. “He loves that show,” she said. Her, not so much: “It’s kind of my life. As on the TV show, talking to family members is a grim task. “You meet with the next of kin, they want answers and they want justice. You can’t bring their loved one back. Which is why I love the fact of preventing (killings) from occurring,” she said. “The worst part of my job is seeing the pain in the next of kin and knowing no matter what you did, you aren’t going to make the pain go away and make them whole. A lot of time it’s a senseless death they’re never going to completely understand,” Godbehere said. With grieving family members grasping for make sense of horrific acts of violence that snatch their loved ones away, this homicide attorney perhaps has the perfect name. “I kept my name after I got married,” Godbehere said. “It gives a lot of comfort to my victims’ families.” Tom Scanlon can be reached at tscanlon@timespublications.com.

11,000 in Arizona have died from COVID-19, with 4,700 deaths in Maricopa County — rages, a cavalry in the form of vaccines has arrived. Health care workers and emergency responders began receiving COVID-19 vaccines in mid-December. The second group, including those over 75, started getting vaccine shots at State Farm Stadium last week. This week, plans are in place to expand to those 65 and older. Jodi Castle, who lives in Goodyear and works at Dignity Health Emergency Care in Glendale, received the first of the two-dose regimen two days before Christmas. “After that dose, I just had a slight sore arm,” she said. She got the second shot Jan. 12. “Was fine the first day. But the next day I woke up feeling feverish, temp of only 99.6, so higher than usual but not a fever,” she said. She said she had a slight headache and body aches, which she attributes to side effects of the vaccine. “One of my ER doctors says it’s normal to feel that as it’s your immune system kicking in to combat what it thinks is the virus,” she said. It’s a small price to pay for potential defense from the disease, she said. “The ERs and hospitals have been so overwhelmed — we are exhausted, so I’m very excited to be a part of the solution,” Castle said. She noted she had COVID-19 in July. “I recovered just fine in a couple weeks, thankfully, as so many don’t,” she said. The Arizona Department of Health Services said it will offer vaccine doses to adults 65 and older starting Tuesday, Jan. 19. Registration is required. Appointments can be made at podvaccine. azdhs.gov. At Glencroft Center for Modern Aging in Glendale, the largest continuing care retirement community in Arizona, due to the post-holiday spike, “We have opened a COVID isolation ward and have a handful of recovering patients there and the hospitals are asking us to take more but none have been infected in our building,” said Scott McClintock. But, the chief strategy officer added, “What’s really different now though is the availability of vaccines. On Jan. 7

“There could have been at least a twoweek break. … I feel lied to,” Jessica Shelton said. “As a parent and teacher in the district I felt safe coming back into the classroom and sending my children because I trusted the school district to follow the metrics. The change was made after the cutoff date for switching my children or with enough time for me to apply to an online position,” Shelton said. “One of the reasons people in our community and many teachers have become so upset is due to the fact that the board was disingenuous and misled those under their care and guidance,” Robert Taylor said in his comment. “As a parent I felt betrayed,” Amy Witters said. “When you asked me to make the decision there were safeguards in place. Once my decision was made and numbers started to creep up you threw those safeguards out the window.” PUSD Superintendent Dr. Jason Reynolds thanked the board for the special meeting “so we can discuss how we continue to monitor our health data to determine what learning model is appro-

priate with each one of our schools.” After the Dec. 10 board vote, “We have heard from our community.” He apologized for confusion and noted the decision to open up in-person learning districtwide was based on a policy that “allows the superintendent to suspend in person learning at schools if there is an emergency.” He noted the PUSD website offers a COVID-19 dashboard that tracks cases in the district daily with new features like a percent positivity rate tracker. “That is the percent of teachers and students and staff who have identified as a positive case on their campus, and that is relative to only the people that are attending those schools,” Reynolds said. Reynolds gave a presentation on “factors to adjust the learning model within a classroom, grade level or school.” He highlighted: • Community spread. • Cases identified, weekly percent positivity and outbreaks determined by the county. • Social, emotional and academic growth. • Classrooms impacted.

January 21, 2021

• Percent absenteeism. • Model of instruction and mitigation

strategies. These metrics are provided by the county and are what PUSD is using to assess in-person options. “It’s not as simple as saying if you reach this percentage then you should do X,” Reynolds said. “What they recommend is that you look at all of these factors and you consider them all in your decision making.” While it hasn’t happened yet, Reynolds said if the percent positivity rates approach 1%, he would consider closures. The district gives students the option of attending school in classrooms or online. Currently 27,215 students are attending in-person classes, with 8,245 students attending virtually. For the week ending Jan. 15, the PUSD COVID-19 tracker shows 125 students with COVID-19 (including 13 at Liberty High, 10 at Peoria High and 15 at Sunrise Mountain High), which would be about 0.5% of the 27,215 on-campus students.

For the same period, of the 8,245 students who have chosen virtual learning and are not on campuses, there were 69 reported COVID-19 cases last week. According to the tracker, 40 teachers and other district employees reported COVID-19 last week. Reynolds said he remains committed to communicating closely, frequently and accurately with schools to determine the safest learning model for students and teachers. The PUSD board had a regularly scheduled meeting Jan. 14. There were more public comments at this meeting on COVID-19 metrics and classrooms. Berg, the president of the teachers’ association, said, “I think it’s possible we’re not as far apart as we might be.” She asked for transparency “to let us know there is something in place if we reach these different points we will look at closing classrooms.” More parents and teachers spoke, some in favor of closing classrooms and others criticizing the teachers who staged the sick out.

Ducey enthused about West Valley business scene BY JAKARIA ROSS

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Gov. Doug Ducey highlighted business success in a West Valley version of his earlier State of the State speech. In a Jan. 13 virtual meeting sponsored by WESTMARC, Ducey also discussed the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the violence at the U.S Capitol and educational concerns about distance learning. Ducey addressed questions about the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. “If you go back a year ago today … our state was booming,” he said. “We were in the top five states for not only personal income growth but economic momentum. Through the pandemic, we’re still in the top five. Our pipeline has never been more full. “Places like Tolleson are getting real economic development.” Ducey highlighted the new White Claw Hard Seltzer and Red Bull plants that are neighbors in west Glendale and Mitek’s industrial expansion coming to Tolleson. “In October, White Claw cut the ribbon on its new $250 million manufacturing facility in Glendale. … In November, Red Bull began producing cans at its 700,000-square-foot factory building in Glendale. Mitek announced it’s expanding manufacturing jobs, bringing new jobs to Tolleson,” said Ducey. The West Valley is also the center of Ducey’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout plans. “Arizona’s going to do this fast, and better than other states. We’ve had a real sense of urgency and purpose on

this. Right in the West Valley at State Farm Stadium, we’ve got a 24/7 vaccination site. We’re doing about 6,000 vaccinations a day. We want to ramp that up 12,000,” said Ducey. While prioritizing firefighters, police officers, teachers and older Arizonans, Ducey said, “I have not received the vaccine. I’m not going to get it before my grandmother.” Ducey addressed educational concerns about distance education, especially for low-income communities. “Most Arizonans are concerned about their kids and their education and their jobs. … Every student fell behind to a certain degree during distance learning. We’ve had an achievement gap in our state for years,” said Ducey. “Online learning has not been for our kids in low-income areas. … Job one is getting kids back up to grade level.” Ducey also spoke out against the U.S. Capitol rioters. “All perpetrators should be persecuted to the fullest extent,” said Ducey. “It should never happen again. … I know that people are divided. It was a very spirited election cycle. It’s time that we in leadership positions lead and also look for policies that we can come together on.” Looking ahead, Ducey mentioned key priorities including broadband expansion, better access to telemedicine, better roads and bridges, better equipment/training for law enforcement and criminal justice reform. “We can complete all of this in 2021, and I am ready,” said Ducey. “Thank you for your families and for our hardworking doctors and nurses. “Get the vaccine.” Jakaria Ross can be reached at jross@ timespublications.com.

Red Cross, NFL team up for blood donations BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The American Red Cross and the National Football League are teaming up in January, during National Blood Donor Month, to urge individuals — especially those who have recovered from COVID-19 — to give blood and to help tackle the national convalescent plasma shortage. The Red Cross notes donors are needed to help hospital patients. Those who donate blood or platelets this January will be entered to win two tickets to next year’s Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles. Those who donate between Jan. 1 and Jan. 20 will also be entered to win the “Big Game at Home” package, including a 65-inch television and a $500 gift card. Schedule an appointment by visiting redcrossblood.org, using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, calling 1-800-REDCROSS or activating the Blood Scheduling Skill for Amazon Alexa. “Blood and plasma donors who have recovered from COVID-19 may have the power to help critically ill patients currently battling the virus,” said Dr. Erin Goodhue, Red Cross medical director of clinical services. “With hospital distributions for convalescent plasma increasing about 250% since

October, these generous donations are vital in helping to save lives throughout the winter — a time that is often challenging to collect enough blood products for those in need.” Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows safety and infection control, and additional precautions — including temperature checks, social distancing and face coverings for donors and staff — have been implemented to help protect the health of all those in attendance. Upcoming donation opportunities include:

Abrazo Health doctor offers vaccination tips BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Dr. Timothy Byrne, medical director of cardiac services at Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital, noted that it has been a year since the CDC identified the first COVID-19 patient in the U.S., and getting the vaccine is an important part of putting the pandemic behind us. “Combined with the precautions of handwashing, mask wearing and social distancing, being vaccinated will help us achieve the goal of beating this virus,” Byrne said. “First, check your eligibility. Go online and check local public health websites or social media for vaccine availability information. Be patient. Know that vaccines are available in limited quantities and demand will be high,” he said. “As new sites open for vaccinations, don’t just show up. Please do not arrive at a vaccination site, your doctor’s office or hospital looking for the vaccine. Don’t assume your local provider has

vaccine available or that you can be vaccinated right away.” Byrne acknowledged that some may be concerned about vaccine side effects. “The reality of the reactions related to the vaccine is that it’s a very small group of patients out of the total number of those vaccinated,” he said. “Temporary side effects from vaccination may feel like flu symptoms — sore muscles, feeling tired or mild fever — but they should go away within a few days. “If you have a history of allergic reactions to medications, check with your physician on whether to proceed with vaccination. Even though the number of reactions is small, each vaccination site is well-equipped to handle such a situation.” The Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention provides information about the COVID-19 vaccine and answers common questions. According to the CDC, “Studies show that COVID-19 vaccines are very effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. Experts also think that getting a COVID-19 vaccine may help keep you from getting seriously ill even if you do get COVID-19. These vaccines cannot give you the disease itself. “A vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies exactly like it would if you were exposed to the disease. After getting vaccinated, you develop immunity to that disease without having to get the disease first.” As Byrne noted, “The side effects from COVID-19 vaccination may feel like flu symptoms (sore muscles, feel-

ing tired or mild fever) and might even affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days,” according to the CDC. But, even after receiving two doses of the vaccine, the CDC recommends “you will need to keep wearing a mask that covers your nose and mouth, washing your hands often and staying at least 6 feet away from other people you do not live with. This gives you and others the best protection from catching the virus. “Right now, experts don’t know how long the vaccine will protect you, so it’s a good idea to continue following the guidelines from CDC and your health department. We also know not everyone will be able to get vaccinated right away, so it’s still important to protect yourself and others.” For more information, visit the Maricopa County Department of Public Health at maricopa.gov/5641/COVID19-Vaccine or the Arizona Department of Health Services at azdhs.gov.

West Valley lawmakers split over second Trump impeachment BY HALEIGH KOCHANSKI Cronkite News

No Arizona lawmakers broke party ranks Jan. 13 as the House impeached President Donald Trump on a mostly party-line vote, just one week after a deadly mob attack on the Capitol that critics said was incited by the president. The 232-197 vote also comes 13 months after Trump was first impeached by the House, making him the only president in U.S. history to be impeached twice. Unlike the earlier vote, however, 10 Republicans joined all Democrats to impeach. But all four Arizona GOP lawmakers stood by Trump, who leaves office in a week. And the articles of impeachment still must be heard by the Senate, which is not expected to take them up until after President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in to replace Trump Jan. 20. “This … sets a dangerous precedent for our nation,” said Rep. Debbie Lesko, a Republican who represents parts of Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Glendale and Peoria. “If Congress is going to impeach a president, it must … only be done after intense debate and deliberation, not rushed through at the 11th hour to make a political point.” Republicans accused House Democrats of pursuing an impeachment that will have little practical effect except to satisfy a vendetta they have harbored since Trump took office. But Democrats said Trump’s incitement of an

Death still a towering voice for ﬁreﬁghters BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Glendale Star Columnist

He wrestled with kidney cancer for a decade, fought like a demon, but finally Dave Rehnke took his last breath on Jan. 11. Rehnke worked for 26 years as a firefighter in Peoria, rising to the rank of captain. He loved his city, his peers on the front lines and the job — though it was firefighting that killed him. I met Rehnke five years ago at the Arizona Legislature, where the state’s firefighters — clients of mine — were pushing to expand the roster of cancers presumed to be caused by their profession. Rehnke, newly retired from Peoria, was five years into being eaten alive by renal cell carcinoma, a cancer undoubtedly caused by his line of work with its smoke, soot and burning poisons. He testified before a legislative committee about how the disease metasta-

sized into his lungs and the debilitating effects of chemotherapy; about how just one of his drugs cost $90,000 a year; about the months he had spent in court suing to get the workers’ compensation he so clearly deserved. Don’t let this keep happening, he begged. Don’t make firefighters fight job-related cancer and bankruptcy simultaneously. The legislators, unmoved, did nothing to expand the law. Rehnke continued to advocate for his former colleagues year after year. It seemed to take a little more out of him each time, but he never slowed down, never quit. Of course, fighting a few dozen heartless politicians is nothing compared to beating back rogue cells intent on murdering you. Finally, last February, the Legislature passed a law expanding the number of cancers covered by firefighters’ workers’ compensation insurance.

MARGULIES’ OPINION – jimmymargulies.com

I’m glad Dave lived long enough to see it, that he had that victory to celebrate. Because in a profession of heroes, Capt. Rehnke was one of a kind — a man fully committed to helping not himself but every other firefighter who wears turnouts today or will one day put on the boots. Dave leaves behind his wife of almost 29 years, Brenda, and their two children Shannon and Dustin. I remember him telling me about getting his diagnosis back in 2011. His doctor gave him a 5% chance of surviving 10 years. Rehnke, who refused to miss seeing his young kids’ teenage years, basically told the doctor 5% was a silly number and that he had no intention of dying. So, he didn’t. Dave rode his bike, screamed at the TV rooting on his beloved Minnesota Vikings, raised a beautiful family and built a lasting legacy for himself as the director of the Arizona chapter of the Fire Fighter Cancer Support Network. At a time when our nation seems awash in selfishness, Rehnke exemplified the concept of service before self, living one’s life for a cause greater than individual gain. Hunter Clare, president of the Peoria Fire Fighters, put it like this: “This is a guy that continued to fight

not only for his family but for everyone in our profession, for each of us, even people who aren’t on the job yet. He had such passion for it. “He didn’t want anyone to go through what he went through, what his family went through. In a profession of people willing to sacrifice, he was willing to sacrifice even more to try to make sure this would never happen again.” I kept the notes from my first conversation with Rehnke, hoping I’d never need them for a story like this. “I know my time is coming eventually,” he said back then. “But before it does, I want to do everything I can to make a difference. I am going to keep fighting because this matters.” David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.

6 things to know about PPP loans and your taxes BY GISELLE ALEXANDER Glendale Star Guest Writer

Last year was monumental, to say the least. Life as we once knew it became a thing of the past for individuals and businesses alike. As countless businesses struggled to adjust to the unforeseen challenges presented by the pandemic, the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), part of the CARES Act, was a lifeline for many. The PPP loan program was intended to help small businesses, although numerous large businesses also beneﬁted. According to the Small Business Administration, over 5 million PPP loans were approved, the majority of which went to small businesses. Ninety-two percent of the loans given out were $250,000 or less, and 87% were under $150,000. The average loan size was $100,729. Many businesses needed the money to keep employees working and to pay for everyday expenses to keep the business open. Business owners were told that the loan would also be “forgiven” as long as the money was spent on payroll (60% requirement), mortgage interest, utilities and rent during the eightor 24-week period after disbursement. While the rules for how to use the PPP loan funds were fairly straightforward, the tax effects remained murky. For months the IRS has taken the position that the expenses paid with PPP loans which were forgiven would not be deductible on the business’s tax return. With bated breath, the nation awaited congressional relief with respect to COVID-19. Relief came through at the last minute, including a provision that expenses paid with PPP will be deductible. Congress also reiterated that any forgiven PPP loans will not be includible in the business’s income. Here are six things you should know about PPP loans and your taxes:

You can deduct expenses paid for with the loan proceeds

Payroll, mortgage interest, rent and utility expenses are all forgivable uses of the loan, and Congress has superseded the IRS’s guidance in Notice 2020-32 disallowing such expenses. Not only are these expenses deductible, but Congress has broadened the categories of expenses that may be paid for with PPP funds to include software, cloud services, accounting, human resources, property damage due to civil unrest, personal protective equipment, and supplier costs ordered or contracted for prior to loan approval.

You do not have to include forgiven PPP funds in income

While loan proceeds forgiven by the lender are generally includible in income, PPP loan forgiveness is an exception to the general rule. Businesses do not have to include the debt forgiveness in their income.

You can take advantage of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA)

The FFCRA requires some employers to provide employees with paid leave for reasons related to COVID-19. However, businesses can still take advantage of the FFCRA tax credits in addition to utilizing the PPP loan.

You can defer payroll taxes under the CARES Act

Employers may elect to defer payroll taxes from March 27 through Dec. 31, 2020. Fifty percent of the deferred taxes accumulated in 2020 must be paid by Dec. 31, 2021, and the remainder must be paid by Dec. 31, 2022.

You cannot use PPP money to pay for business taxes

As mentioned above, the PPP loan may only be used for certain identiﬁed categories of expenses. You cannot use the loan proceeds to pay income, sales or other tax liabilities.

You can file an amended tax return

If you applied for forgiveness but have not received a decision from the IRS at the time of tax return ﬁling and you later learn that you will not receive full or partial forgiveness, you may make the related adjustments by ﬁling an amended return. Taxes are daunting even without

COVID-19 and PPP loans to worry about. Add in conﬂicting guidance by multiple government agencies and it is understandable that a small-business owner may feel overwhelmed. Fortunately, Congress enacted favorable provisions applicable to PPP funds and provided certainty to small businesses awaiting answers before year’s end. If you need further guidance, the tax lawyers at the Cavanagh Law Firm are always available to answer any questions. Giselle Alexander, senior member of the Cavanagh Law Firm, is an Arizona Certiﬁed Tax Law Specialist, a CPA, and holds a master’s in Law in Taxation. For more information, visit cavanaghlaw.com.

The Paycheck Protection Program, established by the CARES Act, is implemented by the Small Business Administration with support from the Department of the Treasury. This program provides small businesses with funds to pay up to eight weeks of payroll costs including benefits. Funds can also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent and utilities. Small businesses and eligible nonprofit organizations, veterans organizations and tribal businesses described in the Small Business Act, as well as individuals who are self-employed or are independent contractors, are eligible if they also meet program size standards.

Mustangs look to build oﬀ best girls basketball season BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

PUZZLE ANSWERS

After a back-and-forth that saw winter sports seasons canceled and then reinstated, basketball season begins for high schools around Glendale and Peoria this week. Leading the way is the Sunrise Mountain Mustangs girls basketball team, which returns most of its top players in 2021, after the best season in its history. Peoria’s Sunrise Mountain takes on Glendale rival Raymond S. Kellis High Friday, Jan. 22. Both teams were to start their seasons Tuesday, Jan. 19. It will be quite a challenge for the Kellis Cougars, coming off a 14-14 season. Sunrise Mountain went 26-5 and reached the 5A state championship game for the ﬁrst time in the 2019-20 campaign, living up to the potential coach Jenn Tolle saw in her squad from the beginning of the year. The playoff run shocked a lot of the Mustang players, even while it was happening. “I knew that we were good, but I don’t know if any of us were like, ‘Oh, my God, we can do this.’ It was kind of like a surreal moment for us,” said senior Julie Diveney. Now, there will be no surprises if the Mustangs have another winning year. After losing just two graduating se-

niors from the 2019-20 roster, the team is still young. Diveney is the lone senior. But, despite its youth, there are a lot of returning starters and contributors. The Mustangs can add more into the playbook, with variations of the fundamentals most of the girls already have worked on. “We just have a lot of players that know the game of basketball. They have instincts, and we have really good

athletes on our team, too. So, when coach adds more stuff or she puts in more intricate plays, it’s a lot easier for us to adapt more,” said junior Kelci Connolly. Paired with that experience, Tolle said, is the team’s overall athleticism and size. There are a few tall players, but for the most part she foresees most of the girls being relatively similar in height in most lineups, with the ability to move and guard against a variety of positions. “We have a lot of flexibility. We like playing man to man and playing different variations of man-to-man defense because they can do that. We can switch, we can match people up in different ways, we can play screens different ways — so they’re really fun to coach,” Tolle said. As successful as the 2019-20 season was, there was just one hurdle the Mustangs could not get over: a 59-30 loss in the championship game to defending champion Millennium. Diveney said the girls are “a little agitated” they did not play as well in the final game as they thought they could, albeit against a Tiger squad filled with future high-level college basketball players. But getting to that point alone gives the team the knowledge that with the right effort it can compete with the best on the right night. “I think the excitement and energy we play with, I think that’s what’s kind of been growing over the years, and this year I think we have more confidence built up this year because we know we can do that. And we’re just Junior Kelci Connolly dribbles at Sunrise Mountain girls basketball practice as coach Jenn Tolle looks on.

trying to build on that,” Diveney said. Whether the Mustangs could play the 2020-21 season, let alone make a postseason run, was uncertain. COVID-19 delayed the Arizona Interscholastic Association winter sports season by several weeks, after months of inability to practice and play a normal offseason schedule. Tolle implemented a “virtual challenge” for the girls, in which the players were tasked with working out at home or another safe spot and either videorecording it or having a parent sign off to conﬁrm the work. Online video chats and regular messages of teamwork and compassion were sent out, and the girls were encouraged to communicate as much as possible to maintain camaraderie. “It required a lot of creativity and a lot of patience,” Tolle said. Now, the schedule is ﬁnally set — at least tentatively. The Mustangs hosted rival Centennial to open the season. Kellis started its 2021 season against Gila Ridge.

Singer-actor walks the line with Johnny Cash tribute BY BRIDGETTE M. REDMAN

Lewis and Carl Perkins got together for an impromptu jam session. Moreau said he has met some of the best people from his life while doing that musical. “I can’t be more thankful for his life and legacy,” Moreau said. “It’s been a blessing to play him pretty much up until the pandemic for 40 to 50 weeks of the year.”

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

Nine years ago, Scott Moreau took his years of experience performing as Johnny Cash and created a show for Arizona music lovers that has since traveled the country. Now, in 2021, it returns to the Valley with Moreau performing the one-man show at Arizona Broadway Theater from Jan. 29 to Feb. 21. “It was the winter of 2012,” Moreau said. “(The show) was created for the good people of Arizona. J.R. McAlexander, the owner-operator of Showtune Productions out in the Valley, we’ve been colleagues for about 20 years, and while I was on the first national tour of ‘Million Dollar Quartet,’ he reached out and said a tribute to Johnny Cash would sell very well with his patrons in Arizona.” Moreau took a week off from the tour and headed to the Valley. He started piecing together the Cash songs he wanted to sing and looking into anecdotes and stories of the singer. He strove to include Cash’s verbatim words in the musical tribute he would create called “Walkin’ the Line.” When he returned to the tour, he continued to work on the musical, often bouncing ideas and scenes off his cast mates in their free time. Eventually, he would return and the show would premiere in the Valley. The musical features such songs as “Folsom Prison Blues,” “Ring of Fire,” “A Boy Named Sue” and, of course, “Walk the Line.”

Keeping it safe at ABT

Moreau points out that not many theaters are producing anything right now, mostly because it is dangerous for crowds to gather or for actors — especially singers — to share a stage. It’s why he’s eager to do a show at ABT. He said that they are first and foremost about safety.

Exploring Cash’s life

“There has been a lot of thought and planning going into keeping everyone safe,” Moreau said. “It’s not worth it to go and see a show if you aren’t safe in this day and age. I want everyone to know that this is not a situation where everyone is going to be mask free and running around and sitting next to each other. They’re taking this extremely seriously, and so am I.” Both Moreau and the band (who will be masked) are distanced from the audience, and the audience will be distanced from each other. He said ABT has sent him an extremely comprehensive plan about how to keep everyone safe and sound. “Arizona Broadway is really on the right path,” Moreau said. “They are doing their best to stay as safe as possible. I know a lot of people are anxious — I’m slightly anxious. “But I have no doubt that they have my safety and the safety of their patrons in mind.”

Spending a lifetime with Cash

Moreau grew up listening to Cash.

He talked about how when he was little, his parents would play their favorite records and dance in the living room. He would do his best to sing along with such artists as Cash, the Everly Brothers and the Beach Boys. In his early 20s, he was introduced to the music Cash was making toward the end of his life, and it transformed his career. “That’s when I started to get obsessed, buying everything and reading everything, and wouldn’t let him go,” Moreau said. “It has just kind of continued. Luckily it wasn’t just fandom; it was a large part of my career. Johnny’s music and his message and life have had an immeasurable impact on my life.” Moreau said performing as Cash has taken him all over the country and to such far-flung places as Japan. He’s met members of the Cash family, been able to try on some of his clothes and play Cash’s guitars. Moreau spent years on tour playing Cash in “The Million Dollar Quartet,” a musical about the Dec. 4, 1956, afternoon Cash, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee

In “Walkin’ the Line,” Moreau speaks as Cash the entire time. While he sings many of Cash’s greatest hits, he also tries to give insight into Cash’s life, his friendships, and why and how he wrote certain songs. “One thing I try to capture a good amount that the average fan doesn’t know about or understand — he had an extremely good sense of humor,” Moreau said. “He was large and imposing and sometimes a dark person. He had an extremely outgoing personality and was a cutup. I really try to bring that into a lot of my stage banter.” In preparation for creating the musical and in its ongoing evolution, Moreau spends a lot of time watching and analyzing his concerts so he can replicate who Cash was as a performer. He said he tries to be as close to Cash as humanly possible, leaving any semblance of his own personality behind. “The performances of his songs and his songwriting is a major part of his performances, but so is his sense of humor and his authenticity,” Moreau said. “The people who come to see these types of shows don’t want to see me as Johnny Cash; they want to remember what it was like to see him on television or live.”

Glencroft Center for Modern Aging faces COVID-19 BY SCOTT McCLINTOCK Glendale Star Guest Writer

What a different world it is this year! A year ago, our independent living residents at Glencroft were “turning back time” in the ZOE performance center, learning new things at ZOE University, and eating ZOE healthy foods. During 2019, residents in four ZOE Life Beta groups had gotten stronger and more agile and taken back control of their lives. One resident said she felt so strong that she might have to hurt someone to prove it! We were having fun. Employees and residents alike were twisting and grunting and generally complaining about the physical “torture” they endured in our performance Center, but they were getting stronger and were also enjoying lectures and ZOE foods. Enthusiasm was contagious. Many of our long-term care residents in Providence Place are constrained physically making standard ZOE activities difficult, if not impossible. Nevertheless, the team designed an appropriate program and together with Providence Place activities staff selected seven residents to form our beta one group. ZOE activities included therapy and virtual reality twice a week, time in the Peacekeepers Garden, communal dining, swimming and walking.

It’s rather ordinary sounding, but for some long-term care residents swimming and walking are practically aspirational, and the hope it gave them was inspiring. Together we took baby steps toward the residents’ goals, and some residents swam for the first time in years; other residents took their first real steps in a long time. They were no longer just surviving, but in important ways they were thriving. They had hope and excitement. Then, in the spring of 2020, COVID-19 hit and it all stopped.

like Garfield who love their residents and will not leave them over any concern about infection. Garfield’s philosophy is that we can’t let COVID-19 ruin our lives and we have to find ways to continue caring for our residents, helping them to visit with their families, and living life as best we can.

Surge and vaccines

COVID-19 hits hard

By mid-March we had to close our nursing center to all nonessential visitors, and by late April we began to suffer COVID-19 infections in the building. It was a frightening experience, especially for our memory care residents, many of whom could not understand what was happening. Without regular contact with family, some memory care residents can quickly lose their familiarity, making the estrangement particularly costly for the family. One of our activities nurses’ aides, Tammy Garfield, described how residents might in this way truly be “lost” to their family through rapid memory loss. With grants from BHHS Legacy Foundation, Thunderbird Charities and Del E. Webb Foundation, Providence Place staff put together a FaceTime visitation program in which families can participate in virtual visits with their loved ones on a regular basis. Now their communication is better planned and more frequent. Garfield dons a gown, gloves, mask and face shield; regularly hosts these virtual visits; and will often give a hug to the resident on camera on behalf of their family. Tommy Medina was one of the Glencroft staff members to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.

Of course, the personal protective equipment has become ubiquitous for all of our caregivers in Providence Place; and even with the protection it provides, some of our workers could not abide the risk of spreading the infection to their own families at home, and they left the company. But not Garfield. She and her husband discussed the matter and decided that it was just part of the nursing job and she’d always faced some level of risk in her career. Garfield said that her residents tended to become like family to her and that she could not just leave them due to fears about possible infection. In fact, our caregivers often become so close to the residents and their families that their caring effectively extends to the families who struggle mightily with the gradual separation that accompanies memory loss. Indeed, one of the hardest things for memory care residents has been the clinical need to temporarily move them to an isolation ward due to COVID-19 infection. By late summer the Providence Place team had won their battle with COVID-19 and no longer had any infections in the building. It was a hard fight and they lost some dear friends, but the care team is filled with people

As this is written in January 2021 COVID-19 has surged back in the state with infection rates that are nearly 10 times those of September/October. For this surge we have better practices and better tools to fight COVID-19, and we have suffered no infections in Providence Place. We have opened a COVID-19 isolation ward and have a handful of recovering patients there; and the hospitals are asking us to take more, but none have been infected in our building. What’s really different now though is the availability of vaccines. On Jan. 7 and 12, all of our long-term care residents and most of our staff were vaccinated, giving us clear optimism about soon returning to a more normal life without the ever-present fear of COVID-19. Without COVID-19 our ZoeLife team will resume the beta one program at Providence Place. Our residents’ hopes both depend on and flow from their ZOE work. We are anxious to return to ZOE Life programming for our residents who so dearly need it to help them to thrive. The mantra of ZOE Life, “Pursuing Vitality Through a Full Active and Purposeful Life,” proven so important for our independent residents, needs to be offered again to our long-term care residents as well. Creating a platform of safely moving, safely learning and safely engaging on a day-to-day basis gives us the opportunity to create hope for our longterm care residents, and as we all know a little bit of hope goes a long way. Scott McClintock is the chief strategy officer for Glencroft Center for Modern Aging in Glendale, the largest continuing care retirement community in Arizona.

Jesus teaches how to be too blessed to be stressed When explaining stress management to an audience, a lecturer raised a glass of water and asked, “How heavy is this glass of water?” Answers called out ranged from 20 grams to 500 grams. The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance. In each case, it’s the same weight. However, the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” He continues, “And that is the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on. When refreshed, we can carry on with the burden. So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work or whatever is burdening you down. Don’t carry it home. Please don’t pass it along to your spouse or kids. You can

pick it up tomorrow!” That’s good advice. If you never stop, you can’t start! Sometimes, we need to come apart or we will come apart! Here’s some logic for the overly stressed. Since it’s the early worm that gets eaten by the early bird, sleep late! Many folks today are like a billiard table with balls scattered all over the board. From time to time, we all need to take time to re-rack our billiard balls. Jesus taught us stress management and how to move from stressed to destressed. Remember the Bible story when Jesus’ disciples were in the middle of a sea, in the middle of the night, and in the middle of the perfect storm?

I’ll bet their blood pressure was 190 over 130. Then Jesus appears, walking on water. They thought it was a ghost. Let’s take a glimpse into the disciples’ minds. “It’s midnight in the perfect storm, in the middle of the sea, and now there’s a ghost walking on water.” Mercury rising. Now their blood pressure is 210 over 150! Yet, even in the middle of the storm, Jesus was there. Then Jesus spoke to his stressed-out companions, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” There are 365 times in the Bible that God says, “Do not be afraid.” If you are like me, you probably need a “fear not” at least once a day every day of the year. Sure enough, the storm calmed down. The lesson here is don’t let the storm on the outside of you get inside of you. Great advice for the storm challenged and overly stressed, huh? Maybe it’s time to relax a bit, cool our jets, turn off our fear alarm clock, quit watching the news, and re-rack our emotions.

Remember the glass of water? The longer you hold it, the heavier it becomes. In Matthew 6, Jesus calmed the storm inside of 5,000 stressed-out, hope-hungry people. He said, “Instead of looking at the fashions, walk out into the fields and look at the wildﬂowers. They never primp or shop, but have you ever seen color and design quite like it? The 10 best-dressed men and women in the country look shabby alongside them. If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildﬂowers —most of which are never even seen —don’t you think that He will attend to you, take pride in what you do, and do His best for you? What I’m trying to say here is relax, to be not so occupied with getting, so you can respond to God’s giving.” Jesus is still telling his people and telling us at this very moment, “Relax, rest and trust in Me, open your eyes. God has things under control. You won’t respond to God and all that God has given you when you’re stressed.

When life gets too stressed, put down the glass, sleep late for one day, and come apart lest ye come apart. Jesus calmed the storm on the outside of you, and He can calm the storm on the inside of you, too. There you go. Now you have been exposed and hopefully enlightened about stress management for dummies and smarties. I prefer the second category but sometimes visit the first. How about you?

Listen, there’s another option, you can pivot from ‘too stressed to be blessed’ to ‘too blessed to be stressed.’ A negative mind will never give you a positive life.” Let me be honest and transparent with you. I’m stressed about life right now. There is too much melodrama going on in the world as well as in my world right now. What is on the outside of me is starting to get inside of me. I needed this article today. I’m slowly learning that it’s not the load that breaks you down; it’s the way you carry it that breaks you down. Let’s see if we get the message here.

‘Safe space’ support for Boys & Girls Club and YMCA BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Arizona Department of Education announced its continued support of the Arizona Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs and the Arizona Alliance of YMCAs to support communities across Arizona with a safe space for learning and development. As schools operating in a distance learning model are still required to provide a physical space for the most at-risk students, the Boys & Girls Club of AZ and YMCA have stepped up to help schools fulﬁll this requirement. “Given the highly concerning rate of community spread across our state, and the corresponding need for more schools to return to a distance learning model, the extra support of the YMCA and Boys & Girls Clubs will provide necessary relief to schools and fami-

lies, ensuring that every student who needs a safe place to learn has one.” said Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman. “Access to affordable child care is an issue that precedes the pandemic, and now providing children a safe place to learn is more necessary than ever. I am so grateful for the partnership of community-based organizations like the YMCA and Boys & Girls Club.” Using discretionary funding from the federal CARES Act, the Arizona Department of Education has allocated $1.5 million to support the Arizona Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs and the Valley of the Sun YMCA programs. “Every day, more than 1,000 youth are welcomed into Boys & Girls Clubs around the state,” said Marcia Mintz, CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of the

Valley. “Each of these students, and their families, rely on our programs for high-quality care, nutritious meals, and the academic and social-emotional support they need in this time of crisis. Thanks to this investment from the Arizona Department of Education, our clubs will remain open for distance learning and no parent will have to choose between work and their child’s education.” Distance learning sites are open extended hours (typically from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.) for students. From the clubs, they can log on to school and then participate in after-school enrichment, including physical/sports recreation, arts, and playing with other youth members.

BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Students from the College of Pharmacy at Midwestern University’s Glendale campus are joining the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic battle by volunteering to help prepare and distribute COVID-19 vaccines. More than 50 Midwestern University pharmacy students have taken opportu-

nities to participate in the vaccination process at their national clinical rotation sites and at points of distribution (POD) around Arizona. From patient intake and information, transport of the vaccine, and reconstitution to preﬁlling syringes and vaccine administration, CPG students are eager to put their knowledge and skills to work to serve

the community. Acacia Akiona volunteered at a Banner Health POD at the Arizona State Fairgrounds in December, drawing up doses of the Pﬁzer COVID-19 vaccine for the Phase 1A rollout during the busy holiday season. “I wanted to volunteer to have the opportunity to work with the vaccine directly and to help where I knew I could,” she said. “I thought this was a gratifying experience because I could give back and help the health care providers who have worked tirelessly since the beginning of the pandemic,” said Thuy Huynh, who helped prepare over a thousand COVID-19 vaccines per day at the Banner Health POD. “As a Midwestern University student, I’m proud to be part of this event and contribute to the ﬁght against the COVID-19 pandemic.” “We are an institution that has a long and proud tradition of strongly supporting community service. Volunteerism is encouraged, admired, and represents

Anita June Mitchell went to her Heavenly Home to be with Jesus and loved ones on January 4, 2021. Anita was affectionately called June most of her life. She was born October 16, 1928 in Port Huron, Michigan. June and her twin Art were the youngest of seven children. At an early age June began to work helping support the family with ironing jobs. June's father passed away when she was ten and her mother never remarried. At age 18 June met the love of her life, Jack Mitchell. Art had set June up on a blind date and 2 years later Jack and June were married. Jack and June would soon give birth to their first son David and soon after Daniel (Dan) and Mark would be born. Jack and June had a special love and were married for 70 years on June 24th, 2020. In addition to being a loving, wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and wonderful friend, June loved to cook and bake. June could light up a room as she made so many people happy. June worked in retail most of her life and was employed by Macy's for over 30 years. In addition, she was very instrumental in helping the family business Ideal Insurance Agency Inc. which launched in 1982. June's pro-bono typing, filing, and lending out a room in their home helped start Ideal. Throughout her life June put her Faith in God. June joined her mother, father and four sisters in Heaven. June is survived by her husband Jack, her sister Evelyn, brother Art, her children David, Dan, and Mark, her eight grandchildren, and twenty great-grandchildren. We will miss June, but we take great comfort in knowing, June went to be with our risen Lord and Savior Jesus and her loved ones who have gone on before.
