Ducey: Bipartisanship needed in 2019

INSIDE This Week

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA Peoria Times Staff Writer

Gov. Doug Ducey stuck to his guns January 16, when he returned to the Renaissance Phoenix Glendale Hotel & Spa to deliver his State of the State address. He spoke during a luncheon sponsored by Western Maricopa Coalition, which bridges the business and education sectors of the 15 West Valley communities it serves.

Historical society remains in limbo BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

Peoria City Council was scheduled to hear discussion and staff recommendations on January 22, with regard to the ongoing internal disputes of the Peoria Arizona Historical Society (PAHS) museums. The city of Peoria owns five buildings in the Old Town area. PAHS leases use of the city-owned facilities for its housing of the collection of historical items and operation of the museums. However, access to all of the museum buildings has been blocked by the city since May 2017. The city had closed the buildings to install air-conditioning equipment and replace the doors to the main entrance of the two-story Peoria Central School Museum.

Lesko: Trump’s border security proposal ‘common sense’ Tuesday, January 29 in the Peoria Development and Community Services Building Benchmark Room, 9875 N. 85th Ave.

BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (AZ-08) released the following statement on President Trump’s proposal to secure the border and reopen the government. “President Trump has offered a common sense plan that will address the humanitarian and security crisis currently happening at our Southern border plus ensure legal protection for the Dreamers who through no fault of their own were brought here illegally by their parents as a child. I sincerely hope that the Democrats will now finally come to the negotiating table to end this government shutdown and get federal government employees back to work with pay.” Lesko.announces.mobile. office.hours.in.Peoria Lesko announced last week she would be holding mobile office hours

Lesko.co-chair.of.Bipartisan. Congressional.Women’s.Caucus Lesko (R-AZ) and Congresswoman Brenda Lawrence (D-MI) have been elected by the women of the House as co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues for the 116th Congress. Congresswomen Jenniffer Gonzalez-Colon (R-PR) and Madeleine Dean (D-PA) will serve as Co-vice chairs. Lesko said, “The Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues has a history of being a bipartisan forum committed to advancing the interests of women. This is a historical moment for women in Congress, and I look forward to lead-

ing this Caucus with Congresswomen Lawrence, Gonzalez-Colon, and Dean to find common ground between parties so that we can advance the lives of women and families together.” Background: Founded in 1977, the Congressional Caucus for Women’s Issues has been a leading advocate on issues advancing the lives of women and families. Caucus members have helped pass legislation securing tougher child support enforcement, promoting women’s health, helping women business owners, and protecting victims of domestic violence and sexual assault. The caucus works closely with the Women’s Policy Inc., a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy organization whose mission is to bring women policymakers together across party lines to work on issues of importance to women and their families.

Opinion

Goldwater supports Gov. Ducey’s push to protect Arizonans’ right to earn a living Unnecessary and cumbersome occupational licensing laws prevent countless Arizonans from practicing their profession of choice and moving up the economic ladder. The Goldwater Institute supports Governor Doug Ducey’s commitment to breaking down regulatory barriers to people’s right to earn an honest living, as he discussed in his State of the State address today: One hundred thousand people will move here this year. There’s a job available for every single one of them. Lots of people are trained and certified in other states. Standing in their way of earning a living in Arizona — our own licensing boards and their cronies who tell them, ‘You can’t work here. You haven’t paid the piper.’ Let’s stop this foolishness… And before those unelected boards feign outrage, let’s remember. Workers don’t lose their skills simply because they move to Arizona. And in the name of good government, let’s have the bullies on these boards answer these three questions: What do you exist to do, how do you know you are doing it well, and who would miss you if you were gone?” The Goldwater Institute has led the

COMMenTARY Mike Brownfield Director of Communications Goldwater Institute way in advocating for reform of occupational licensing in Arizona. The Institute won a major victory for the right to earn a living in 2014 when it successfully challenged the Arizona Board of Cosmetology’s attempts to needlessly regulate Lauren Boice, a small-business owner who connects terminally ill patients with beauty service-providers. In 2017, Arizona became the first state in the country to enact the Right to Earn a Living Act, a law designed by the Institute to protect individuals’ freedom to pursue their chosen profession. Later that year, the Institute helped a behavioral health counselor successfully challenge an Arizona state board’s rule under the newly enacted law, thereby enabling her to practice her

profession. Last year, Arizona enacted Goldwater Institute bills that increased transparency in occupational licensing boards, expanded access to dental care by opening the door to dental therapists, and made it easier for low-income Arizonans to challenge burdensome occupational regulations. “State government should not prevent Arizonans from pursuing their professions, earning a living, and improving their lives,” said Victor Riches, president and CEO of the Goldwater Institute. “The Goldwater Institute supports Gov. Ducey’s desire to continue lowering barriers to entrepreneurship so that Arizonans’ right to earn a living is protected.” With the blessing of its namesake, the Goldwater Institute opened in 1988. Its early years focused on defending liberty in Barry Goldwater’s home state of Arizona. Today, the Goldwater Institute is a national leader for constitutionally limited government respected by the left and right for its adherence to principle and real world impact. No less a liberal icon than the New York Times calls the Goldwater Institute a “watchdog for conservative ideals” that plays an “outsize role” in American political life.

Letter to the Editor What.is.it?.Border?.Wall?.Fence? We’ve talked before about the Democrats redefining words. Example: You disagree with a person of color; therefore, you are a racist. You disagree with those who want to destroy long standing statues; therefore, you are a racist. You believe in marriage between a man and a woman; therefore, you hate homosexuals. You expect everyone to follow the rules of common courtesy; you have offended someone. You believe in limited government and personal responsibility; therefore, you are politically incorrect. You can think of many more examples, even words you use that only the Dems consider racist or offensive

or politically incorrect. Now, the latest Democrat avoidance of factual discussion comes with the “wall.” The Dem leaders several years ago called for better border security. President Clinton in 1995 and President Obama in 2013, both addressed the issue in their State of the Union addresses. Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Clair McCaskill and Joe Manchin all have called for more border security. (In 2013, All 54 Democrats voted to pass The Border Security, Economic Opportunity, And Immigration Modernization Act. (S. 744, Roll Call Vote #168 : Passed 68-32: R 14-32; D 52-0; I 1-0, 6/27/13 which called for 700 miles of fencing) President Obama even talked

about a “fence.” But, today, because they are losing their stand on other vital government issues, they have retreated to calling names and redefining words. Kristen Sinema, just today (January 12), called for a “barrier” at the border, but she is opposing a “wall” at the border. Dems whine and cry about the 800,000 government employees who are without paychecks, but they themselves are obstructing discussion, compromise and accomplishment because of a technical word redefinition. “Barrier,” “fence,” or “wall?” You may well remember that Slick redefined words when he said on national TV, “I did not have sex with that woman.” Roger Moore

FROM HISTORICAL On 1 During the almost two years since the closing, a dispute has risen between two factions within the historical society. Two different sets of boards of director now exist, each claiming it is the legal board. Two lawsuits have been filed. Two law firms have been hired. January 1, 2018, officers of the “old board,” as it has come to be called, filed a lawsuit against officers of the “new board.” The plaintiff — old board officers — are William Bercu (president), Kathleen Montoya-Moore (treasurer) and Janet Gilsdorf (secretary). Moore was elected treasurer August 16, 2016, while Bercu and Gilsdorf were elected June 22, 2017, by those members maintaining allegiance to the old board after the new board had elected its own officers and directors May 31, 2017. An amended lawsuit was filed April 9, 2018, naming all of the directors and officers of the new board: Connie Hickle, David Sandoval, Erick McMorrow, Geri Fair, Karen Garbe, Loretta Barmes, Mike Heath and Kevin Kosier. In the first paragraph of the lawsuit, the plaintiffs claim:

“Plaintiff are the duly elected officers of Defendant Peoria Arizona Historical Society, Inc., a non-profit corporation, and bring this action on behalf of the corporation against the individual defendants under Arizona’s Uniform Declaratory Judgment Act. Given the egregious and fraudulent misconduct of the individual Defendants, further litigation against those defendants is anticipated after the Court construes the rights of the Plaintiffs. Potential claims against the individual Defendants include fraud,’ negligent misrepresentation, tortious interference, and misappropriation of trade secrets.” In the meantime, both sides wish to open the museums and get on with the business of conducting tours and displaying historical items for the public. In an interview January 17, City Manager Jeff Tyne said, “The city is very concerned. It’s very difficult to be a landlord when we don’t necessarily know who the tenant is. Council is frustrated about the perception we’re in possession of assets. As they’re dealing with disagreements and disputes, we have materials and artifacts not on display.”

In a press release issued by the city later that same afternoon, Tyne wrote, “There is a public misconception that the city of Peoria has jurisdiction over PAHS and the contents contained in these buildings.” During his interview earlier, Tyne said, “It’s distressing,” citing the society’s “wonderful concept, trying to enhance our heritage,” while at the same time, the city is “trying to revitalize and maintain our historical heritage.” “What we want to impress is the arrangement,” Tyne said. “We are serving as the landlord, but we do not have any rights to what’s in there. But, we have a responsibility to protect (those assets) for the actual owner. At the same time, there is a false assumption this is a city

issue.” The.question.of.by-laws Phoenix attorney Frank Mead represents the old board in the lawsuit, which now is a year old. His clients question the validity of the 2014 bylaws cited by the new board, saying there was no evidence they were adopted or ratified. So, the bylaws adopted by the society in 1990, when it was just a club, are being followed by the old board. When the new board held its first meeting May 31, 2017, those who attended were told letters were sent to all members of the society giving notice of the meeting, and votes were tallied at that time to elect new officers. None of the old board members were present. Because all of the museum buildings were locked up, the meeting was held at Peoria Community Center, immediately west of the old school buildings, where a shared parking lot exists. In.search.of.a.solution Tyne sent a letter January 16 to attorneys for both parties in the lawsuit who claim to be the rightful board of directors of the PAHS, stating the city “believes this long period of inactivity is not in the best interest of the citizens and wants PAHS back up and running as soon as possible.” In his letter to the attorneys, Tyne offered what the city believes could be a resolution of the dispute. The city would hire an independent, third-party referee, at the city’s cost. The referee would be the “sole point of contact for all parties

involved and each group would submit directly to the referee a written explanation as to why it believes it is the rightful board of directors and why it believes the other group is not the rightful board of directors.” The written explanation would contain the following: • A copy of the Articles of Incorporation filed with the Arizona Corporation Commission • Corporate status with the Arizona Corporation Commission • A copy of the most recent bylaws of the PAHS • Any agendas, meeting minutes, or organizational actions that support an opinion or viewpoint • If there is a dispute regarding any PAHS governance documents, provide evidence and documentation supporting that opinion or viewpoint • Any other evidence or documentation that legally demonstrates an opinion or viewpoint expressed in the written explanation • If any supporting documentation is not or cannot be provided, provide a full explanation (e.g., documents missing or never created), and furthermore,

explain why the documentation is either not needed, or not necessary, to support an opinion or viewpoint The referee would have sole authority and responsibility to determine the completeness of any documentation submitted and the discretion to request supplemental information. Once the referee determines all information needed has been submitted, there would be no further contact “whatsoever,” with the referee by either group or the city until the final decision is issued. Once the referee issues a decision as to the rightful board of directors, the city, in Tyne’s letter to the attorneys, “will initiate negotiations to revise and update the lease agreement between the PAHS and the city. To facilitate completion of the process, the city proposed a timetable for resolution of the conflict: • Time for the city to identify and hire a referee: 30 to 45 days, maximum • Time to submit explanation and supporting documentation to referee: 45 days, maximum • Time for referee to review for completeness of submittal: 30 days, maximum • Time to submit supplemental informa-

tion, if requested by referee: 30 days, maximum • Time for referee to review and render final decision: 60 days, maximum In the council communication January 17, City Attorney Vanessa Hickman wrote, “According to contract provisions, the city has the ability to end the lease upon finding a public necessity and convenience. The city will explore this option, as well as other alternatives, in the council discussion for the item. Going forward questions remain on how the historical society would ensure the accounting and care of private property within the buildings.” In his January 17 press release, Tyne said, “Having exhausted efforts to mitigate the conflict and end the closure, the City has chosen to explore its rights as the property owner and will discuss various alternatives at their regular City Council meeting on Tuesday, January 22. “From the beginning, the city has encouraged the disputing boards to reach an amicable resolution that would allow these important historical buildings to reopen to the public. This remains the city’s ultimate intention.”

Crisis Response Team seeks volunteers from West Valley BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

When you have a fire, police or medical crisis, who can help you get through the impact of possibly the worst day of your life? Say hello to the Glendale Crisis Response Team (CRT). The CRT is made up of about 50 volunteers trained by the Glendale Fire Department to assist firefighters, police offices and the citizens from all parts of the West Valley during 911 calls. “Think of any reason you would call 911 and why there might be a need for crisis intervention outside of emergency medical or law enforcement,” Crisis Interventions Specialist Sara Steffan said. “They have their specific job and we as a group have ours to assist those when they need the most assistance.” The team specializes in being compassionate and professional during a time of need to those experiencing a crisis. Team members have a variety

of backgrounds in behavioral health, emergency medicine, victim assistance and crisis intervention. Their main job is to provide immediate crisis intervention and referrals to victims, families and witnesses after a traumatic event, as well as to guide citizens in the right direction for follow-up care. But anyone who qualifies earns the correct training to help in the situations when people need the most immediate assistance. “The crisis response team is a group of volunteers and interns that respond to crisis incidents such as homicide, suicide, house fires, child endangerment or anything where people need assistance,” Crisis Intervention Specialist Sarah Armbrust. “We provide people with immediate, basic needs someone may need at their worst moments.” Volunteers.needed The Crisis Response Team is experiencing a dip in volunteers and is seeking volunteers to join the group and try and make a difference in the West Valley.

The Crisis Response Team responds to fires, drownings, domestic violence, sexual assaults and many other calls. The victims in these incidents may need something as simple as shoes, baby diapers or just someone to hold their hand and listen to them. Anyone can apply for the volunteer group as long as they are 21 years of age, possess a valid Arizona driver’s license, be a team player, complete an application process, pass a background check, pass an oral interview, able to attend all training dates, work 12- or 24-hour shifts, purchase their own uniforms and shoes and attend quarterly night classes. Individuals must also do one ridealong prior to the interview process and be a team player. “We give them an understanding of crisis intervention and what it is like to be in fire services because it is different than volunteering at parks or the library,” Steffan said. “This is paramilitary, so you do have to follow the chain of command and if you are told no, end of story, there is no questioning authority.” Fire Human Services Administrator Lynette Pompa said the group takes a special type of person and they focus on

helping the volunteers learn to cope. “We don’t always know what we are walking into, but we are the immediate help before we pass them onto longterm assistance,” Pompa said. “This is not just about responding to a call, but you get life experience here and everyone has been affected by personal trauma and this is a great opportunity to use this training in everyday life.” Staff also said anyone who meets the requirements is welcome to apply, plus they do not need to live in Glendale to be part of the team. “We have had members join our team from as far away as Queen Creek,” Steffan said. “It is just like coming to a job, but we welcome anyone from within the West Valley that if they want a fulfilling opportunity, this is the place to come volunteer.” Pompa added that they are called to incidents throughout the Valley and volunteers can come from throughout the area. “We are not just Glendale, we are pretty much the West Valley and we provide mutual aid,” Pompa said. “It is not strange for us to be called out to Daisy Mountain, Anthem or Peoria and anyone from the area is free to volunteer with us.”

January 24, 2019

Pompa pointed to Armbrust as major success stories from being part of the teams. “(Armbrust) volunteered here and worked on the team while she was doing her master’s degree internship,” Pompa said “She continued volunteering here and worked for different agencies while she got her master’s and licensure and when this position became open, she is now here part of the team.” History.of.crisis.response Normal reactions to abnormal events, such as unexpected death or crisis, include: grief, anger, hopelessness, profound sadness, confusion and despair. For this, the fire department decided to create the Crisis Response Team in 2002. “The Glendale Fire Department Crisis Response volunteers are there to respond to what is quite possibly the worst day of a community member’s life,” Steffan said. “Sometimes the volunteers are the only support on the traumatic scene for that individual and we go to give them immediate assistance when they need it immediately.” The Crisis Response Team produces

a positive change by not only providing emotional support on scene, but also linking the individual with after-care services and/or a personalized follow up plan. “We are the first help they get on the scene of what has happened,” Armbrust said. “We could have such minimal items as flip flops, so they have shoes on their feet, toothbrush and tooth paste, baby items and other minimal items.” Critical incidents traumatize thousands of people around the US every day and such incidents include everything from vehicle collisions, suicides, homicides and others. These incidents traumatize surviving direct victims, as well as indirect victims such as the family and friends of direct victims. Such trauma can affect people’s physical, emotional, social, financial and spiritual well-being in many ways, often severely. The way people cope as victims of traumatic events depends largely on their experiences immediately following the incident. Victims who receive effective support in the critical hours immediately following

FROM CRISIS On 7 the event are more likely to eventually resume healthy, fulfilling, productive lives, rather than entering downward spirals into despair, substance abuse, family breakup and unemployment due to the incidents. “The effects on volunteering, and there have been numerous studies, is that it really helps those suffering but also on a personal level helps increase happiness for the person volunteering,” Pompa said. “There is a direct correlation to personal happiness and giving back to your community.” Crisis Response volunteers assist firefighters, police officers and citizens during 911 calls. Since 2002, the Glendale Fire Department Crisis Response Team volunteers have dedicated more than 200,000 hours assisting community members in crisis by providing emotional support, advocacy, resources and referrals.

impact of financial effects of trauma and other unfortunate events. Crisis Response volunteers have pioneered projects to better serve individuals and families that experience the effects of loss due to house fires, sudden death, rape, sexual and physical

abuse, domestic violence, child/adult crimes, and homicide. The devoted volunteers selflessly provide comfort, and care with compassion on emergency scenes that some would consider their worst nightmare. “We have had some members stay for seven or eight years,” Steffan said. “But, don’t get me wrong, we have also had some that say it is a little too real, so it does take a special person to be part of this team.” Pompa said it takes a large group to run the city’s two teams. “It takes about 50 volunteers to staff one team because we cover seven days a week, 24 hours a day,” Pompa said. “Because it is two people at a time for 12 to 24 hours at a time; it can be an emotional experience here.”

But staff was quick to add that it is a great opportunity to become a better person by helping others who may need it more. “This is not like any other experience you will ever have and there is no such thing as a repeat call,” Steffan said. “Some of the stories you hear just talking to people will surprise you because you are there to help them, but they may end up helping you.” Armbrust summed up the experience best by saying, “It is a profound experience to be with someone and be a source of support for them during what is probably their worst moment of their lives.” To apply to volunteer for the Crisis Response Team, visit www.glendaleaz. com/crisisresponse.

Pizza-eaters give so at-risk teens don’t go hungry BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

HART Pantry (Helping At Risk Teens) is a fairly low-key nonprofit organization that quietly gathers food bags for distribution to high school teens. It was originally organized in 2012 and began as an outreach of Peoria Presbyterian Church. By late 2014, according to HART Pantry documents, it needed to enlarge its mission and formed a nonprofit, which became official in 2015. It also needed more room for storage and packing. Still, it grew more, and in 2017 moved to the Lions Foundation Campus on North 99th Avenue on the outskirts of Peoria. From one school and 14 students, HART Pantry now provides weekend food bags and other services to 150 at-risk and homeless teens weekly in Peoria, Dysart and Glendale school districts. Thirty volunteers gather each week to pack those 150 bags and provide services to teens in need. One local business said yes when HART officials sought help in raising money to provide more services. Between 4 and 10 p.m. January 21, Barro’s Pizza at 83rd Avenue and Cactus Road, donated 25 percent of sales proceeds to HART Pantry if patrons designated its purchase was for the organization. Two diners, Rita McElwain and Pam Osgood, volunteer for HART, and they contributed by eating a pizza each. There was no final tally at press time, but Barro’s is just one sponsor that contributes to the HART Pantry cause. Those who wish to participate in fund-raising efforts can contact executive director Ruth Langford by email at hartpantry@gmail.com or by phone at 252-259-5331. Others can help by sending cash donations payable to Hart Pantry, 8456 W. Sanna St., Peoria, AZ 85345. Also, donate used or new bikes; volunteer to fix bikes; volunteer to pack or deliver weekly food bags to local schools; offer to raise funds; network the pantry with your contacts; and lend the pantry your management skills.

He acknowledged some West Valley districts – Avondale Elementary, Agua Fria Union High and Tolleson Elementary – for taking it a step further by providing additional salary increases. On reforming K-12 education, which he said also includes increasing resources and boosting positive results, he noted making other improvements such as more transparency, accountability, All Patients Insurance Prompt and financial review and oversight of Welcome Accepted Appointments taxpayer dollars.

manufacturing at Maricopa Community Colleges, among others – said his budget would “build, expand and align with the jobs of tomorrow.” Keeping in this realm, he gave a quick shoutout to West-MEC Superintendent Greg Donovan. “Today, students in these programs are training to becoming nurses, pilots, pharmacists, bankers, firefighters and software developers – all before graduation,” he said. “In fact, 99 percent of CTE students graduate high school – 99 percent – a much higher rate than the national average. They perform better in mathematics and reading – and their technical skills rival professionals in the same trade.” Citing more jobs than can be filled, and plenty of positions to fill any demand, Ducey noted an estimate that 100,000 people will move to Arizona in 2019. So, he called for lawmakers to pass a bill that will grant universal recognition for all occupational licenses. Looking back at past successes in the Southwest Valley, Ducey recalled his visit last fall alongside Cardinals players Antoine Bethea and Corey Peters and President Michael Bidwill to the Lewis State Prison Complex’s Eagle Point Second Chance Center in Buckeye, where employers like Hickman’s Family Farms and Jacksons Car Wash offered employment opportunities to past offenders. Ducey called to secure this program with a goal of protecting public safety and reducing prison populations. On the economy, he noted the attraction of UPS, Amazon, Andersen, Chewy Inc. and Ball Corp to the region, as well as 300,000 jobs and 300 companies statewide in the past three years. Other brief topics on Ducey’s agenda were an updated North American trade deal (USMCA), which he said will increase trade and jobs; unemployment, which he said is at a longtime low; progress and goals in consolidating the “bloated” state government; the Border Strike Force; reduced wait times at the MVD; the Department of Child Safety; keeping the Grand Canyon open during the government shutdown; and a reversal of the state’s $1 billion deficit to a $1 billion surplus over the past four years. In anticipation of his then-unreleased balanced budget, he suggested

increasing the state’s Rainy Day Fund to $1 billion. “If ever there were a way to protect public education, to protect the pay raises our teachers have earned and deserve, to prevent budget gimmicks, band-aids and massive cuts down the line, to avoid tax increases and budget standoffs and government shutdowns – it’s through this thoughtful, prudent and fiscally-conservative approach,” he said. On a final note, Ducey looked back on those who passed last year, including Rep. Ed Pastor, who represented Arizona’s 2nd, 4th and 7th congressional districts; Sgt. Maximo Flores of Litchfield Park, who was killed in a plane collision off the coast of Japan; Trooper Tyler Edenhofer, who was killed on I-10 near Avondale Boulevard while in the line of duty; and Sen. John McCain, who succumbed to brain cancer. Ducey was introduced by Swire Coca-Cola Northern Arizona Division President Roger White. WESTMARC officials Bobbi Magdaleno and Sintra Hoffman, as well as Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers also delivered their own brief remarks. “The West Valley is home to some of the fastest-growing cities in the country as a direct result of our conscious effort

to attract businesses, focus on being financially responsible, and provide residents with a great quality of life,” Weiers said. Hoffman, WESTMARC’s president and CEO, noted a recent grant given to WESTMARC by the Tohono O’odham Nation, which will help with a rebranding strategy that will highlight the region’s growth and assets. As a start, Hoffman cited the new Topgolf and incoming Desert Diamond West Valley Casino in Glendale, the recently announced Portillo’s in Avondale, and WESTMARC’s 2018 Restaurant Demo Day, the latter of which allowed various West Valley cities to pitch their locales to potentially interested restaurateurs, brokers, investors and land owners. Hoffman dedicated much of her time on stage to acknowledging the West Valley’s growth and success, and the impact the region has on the rest of the Valley. “Maricopa County is the fourth largest county in the nation, and over the next 25 years, 49.5 percent of the growth in this county will occur right here in the West Valley,” Hoffman said. “Working with you all for the past several years, I know that we are going to take on that growth – we’re ready to manage that, we’re ready to take that challenge.”

Hoarding therapy groups for age 60-plus begin in February BY STEVE CARR Peoria Times Contributing Writer

Maricopa County residents age 60 and older challenged by compulsive object hoarding who are willing to selfidentify and commit to addressing the disorder can now register for the Area Agency on Aging’s 14-week Too Many Treasures Hoarding Therapy Group, the only object hoarding therapy program in Maricopa County. . The free, confidential and voluntary therapy sessions begin in February. The groups will meet at locations in Central Phoenix and Glendale. Space is limited and qualifying participants will need to complete an intake process by calling 602-241-5577 no later than January 31. Meeting locations are confidential. Addresses will be provided to qualifying participants. Individuals accepted into the program must be willing to attend the

90-minute weekly sessions, engage in group activities and complete home assignments. The sessions, which are moderated by a Licensed Professional Counselor, are comprised of three phases: • Understanding the causes of hoarding disorder, techniques to identify obstacles and tools to help decluttering or acquiring. • Discovering new ways to change unhelpful behavior. • Techniques to help avoid recurrences and to maintain progress. Bi-weekly follow-up support-group meetings for graduates will be scheduled to provide ongoing support and encouragement. Too Many Treasures was recently recognized with an Aging Achievement Award at the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (n4a) Annual Conference, “Through the therapy groups, participants suffering from Excessive Acquir-

Credit Union West is committed to supporting Maricopa and Yavapai counties through programs that benefit the community-at-large. In 2019, the credit union is offering $5,000 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors. These five $1,000 awards will allow local high school graduates to offset the cost of studying at a four-year college, community college or trade school. With a special focus, two of these $1,000 scholarships are reserved for students who participated in their school’s Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC). The remaining three awards are open to all local graduates who meet the scholarship requirements. “We are committed to advancing the economic strength of Maricopa and Yavapai counties,” said Karen Roch, president and CEO of Credit Union West. “These scholarships help local students gain the knowledge and skills

needed to fill local jobs and become contributing members of their communities.” Maricopa and Yavapai County students who graduate in 2019 and plan to attend college or trade school in the fall can apply for a Credit Union West scholarship from January 1, 2019 to March 29, 2019.

ing and Clutter Behavior are introduced to new information and techniques to help them change current behaviors and thoughts,” said Heidi Donniaquo, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who manages Too Many Treasures. “Compulsive object hoarding is a serious problem that can be managed.” According to statistics, 5 percent of the world’s population displays some sort of clinical hoarding that affects between 700,000 and 1 million people in the United States. Research at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine indicates that the compulsion to hoard often starts in childhood or the teen years but doesn’t become severe until adulthood. Hoarding often runs in families. According to www.psychologydegree.net, 75 percent of those who hoard engage in excessive buying, 50 percent excessively acquire free items, 15 percent acknowledge that their behavior is irrational and 50 percent of hoarders grew up with a hoarding family member.

American Legion Auxiliary honors local youth heroes BY MARGE CHRISTIANSON Volunteer publicist American Legion Auxiliary John J Morris Post 62

Peoria residents, Adyson and Rayne Ordway, were each presented Youth Hero awards from the American Legion Auxiliary at a joint Legion family session at Post 62, 9847 W. Desert Cove Ave. Presenting the awards was Sun City resident and John J. Morris American Legion Auxiliary President Doris Theiss. Together, Adyson, 12, and Rayne, 7, prevented a potential multi-car accident and made sure their grandfather, Lee Mullins, got help when he became incoherent while driving. On November 14, the three were driving from their grandfather’s house to the girls’ home, when their grandfather started acting odd. He was driving back and forth in and out of his lane, then began not making sense. By the time the girls miraculously convinced him to pull off the road, he did not know who they were. Adyson called 911. When Peoria’s engine 196 arrived, their grandfather was unresponsive. The car was stopped in the middle of the road— still running and in “drive.” Their grandfather was suffering from a diabetic episode and Adyson, aware of his illness, alerted the paramedics about his condition so they were able to help him quickly. Both girls were also recognized by the Peoria Fire Department for their actions, which may have saved their grandfather, themselves and others had they not acted quickly and decisively. Their father, Rick Ordway, Army veteran and elementary school teacher at Sun Valley Elementary School, 8361 N. 95th Ave. in Peoria, said they were scared, but brave. “American Legion Auxiliary Youth Hero awards recognize young girls and boys who serve as inspirational role models for the organization and the community,” Unit 62 President Theiss said. “We tell their stories to inspire others.” The American Legion Auxiliary also recognizes youth who donate time and/or money for a worthy cause through Good Deed awards. Each girl received a medal and certificate at the presentation. Adison and Rayne Ordway attend

Lake Pleasant Elementary school at 31501 N. Westland Road in Peoria. Supporting children and youth in local communities is a core element of the Auxiliary’s mission-- the more people know and understand about the needs of the children in their communities, the more interest they will have in learning how they can help meet those needs. The Peoria American Legion Auxiliary has an active children and youth program. The unit holds four events annually for the children of deployed Luke Air Force Base airmen, including recently holding a baby shower for a mom who will have her second child while her husband is deployed overseas.

Creamistry expands into West Valley at Park West BY CHARLOTTE SHAFF Peoria Times Contributing Writer

In the spring, the first Creamistry location to come to the west side of the metro Phoenix area opens in Peoria’s Park West shopping center at 9744 W. Northern Ave. Andre Wadsworth (former Arizona Cardinal player) and real estate professional Ryan Zeleznak, who co-own and operate the Creamistry locations in Arizona, feel expanding to Peoria will meet a need for fresh, custom ice cream creations in the West Valley. “With each new location we open, we feel the same sense of pride and excitement as we introduce new customers to a one-of-a-kind ice cream experience,” Wadsworth said. “We look forward to becoming a part of the West Valley community for years to come.” Creamistry uses high-quality, pre-

mium ingredients with more than 60 flavor and topping options, including natural and organic selections, including non-dairy water-based sorbet and gluten-free, egg-free vegan coconut and cashew.

Amazing Lash owner calls her business a growing industry BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

It may seem like a frivolous accessory to most people, but to someone who has had to live with clumps of mascara coating their eyelashes and smearing across their eyelids and melting under their eyes, it is a comforting alternative. “It” is semi-permanent eyelashes. And more regular, everyday women are turning to the alternative in increasing numbers. Amazing Lash in north Peoria at Happy Valley Road and Lake Pleasant Parkway in the Target shopping complex is the only franchise west of Interstate 17 out of the 10 franchises in the Valley. Owner Margie Bahm opened the Peoria Amazing Lash salon August 10, 2018. She said, “We’ve been going very strong. Our goal was 500 members by the end of the year. We did 501 by December 31. We’re No. 1 in the U.S. by overall performance.” Like many others, Dawn Daugherty was referred to Amazing Lash. Her 21year-old daughter told her to try it. The Phoenix resident comes in every three weeks for fill-ins. She has the 3D extensions, which are “more wispy” lashes, not as flashy or long as 6D extensions, which are six light-weight lashes with a fuller lash line. Average age for Amazing Lash mem-

bers is 35 to 40 years old. “We do have high school teens,” Bahm said. “They tend not to be members because of the maintenance. “We do have some nice young ladies in their 70s and 80s. We have an ADA-compliant station; one woman in a wheelchair comes in.” First application of lashes is $79.95, with fill-in costs $59.95. Amazing Lash also carries products to help maintain the lashes between treatments. All lash stylists are licensed aestheticians. Amazing Lash has 12 studio rooms, one ADA studio and two

Jurassic Fight Night)

Dinosaurs will come to life as they battle for a championship belt when Jurassic Fight Night takes over Gila River Arena February 17 in an event designed to entertain the entire family. Adam Kariotoglou, founder and creator of Pangea: Land of the Dinosaurs at OdySea in the Desert in Scottsdale, wants all families to enjoy a night of entertainment and excitement. “It is fun entertainment and we have created a show that has all the entertainment of World Wrestling Entertainment with all the fun of dinosaurs,” Kariotoglou said. “It is so real the kids believe we made dinosaurs come alive to challenge each other and they believe it is real.” Jurassic Fight Night is a complete production featuring dinosaurs in a boxing style ring, fighting to determine who the fiercest creature of the prehistoric era is.

January 24, 2019

History of Jurassic Fight Night On February 17, the event will be the third Jurassic Fight Night in just over a year and the first inside an arena and Kariotoglou said it started with a humble idea. “When I built the dinosaur exhibit, it was really to help drive traffic to my restaurant, Opa Greek Life Grill (at OdySea),” he said. “I then decided to rebrand the restaurant to Pangea Dinosaur Grill by putting some moving dinosaurs and changed the signs — and business increased by four times.” After the quick success, Kariotoglou said he had an idea and called his public relations team together to tell them his newest production. “I saw kids’ and families’ reactions at the exhibit and restaurant when I got the idea for Jurassic Fight Night,” he said. “When I called my PR team and told them my idea of dinosaurs fighting like the WWE, they looked at me like I was crazy.” He decided to hold the first Jurassic Fight Night in May 2018 outside of his restaurant in the center of OdySea where he could come up with a show for kids that would keep them entertained. “I had to create a show that was great for kids as well as families,” Kariotoglou said. “I wanted the entertainment factors such as pyro, light show, and lasers along with three dinosaur battles inside the ring.” That first show attracted nearly 2,000 people who were entertained for an hour and a half and Kariotoglou said the kids and parents spent the entire show on their feet. He said, “After, kids would come up to me and were so excited and they told me that had so much fun and already were asking when the next show would be.” He added that the first show, he lost approximately $60,000, but said it didn’t matter to him because of the reaction he saw. “Why did I even think about a second show with that much of a loss, because I saw the audience reaction of those kids and families telling me how amazing it was,” Kariotoglou said. “The second show, I spent more, and lost more money, but trust me, it was all worth it because of the families’

reactions.” He planned the second show for September 2018, also held at OdySea, but planned for a bigger show. Kariotoglou, who owns Opa Greek Life Café at Westgate, had a meeting with representatives of AEG, who run Gila River Arena. “I had the meeting set up with AEG and told them about the first show and sent them videos of the event,” Kariotoglou said. “They decided to send representatives to watch the second show and see for themselves.” After the huge reaction of the first show, Kariotoglou decided to go bigger for the second show as they set up seats for 4,000 guests, and on the afternoon of the show the response was overwhelming. “We had lines to get tickets that were five hours long and parking issues and because of that, the show was actually

King,” Harry “The Hammer” Utah Raptor, Rowdy Roddy Raptor, Blue Lightning, The Indotaker, and Stiggy Stygimoloch. “The bouts will be boxing style, scripted like WWE, but the dinosaurs will go at it for three rounds,” Kariotoglou said. “We will have three fights with the entertainment in between the bouts for the most fun for the families.”

Future of Jurassic Fight Night

Kariotoglou added that they are also in discussions for cartoons, comic books, toys, clothing line, games for phones as well as a women’s division to add to future programming. “I am in discussion with multi-billion dollar companies on the future of this production to make it even bigger and better,” Kariotoglou said. Kariotoglou said he has already been in discussions with numerous people to take Jurassic Fight Night on a national tour of arenas, as well as numerous celebrities and athletes who are interested.

It is one thing when you hear Jurassic Fight Night, but it is more when you see the production of it,” Kariotoglou said. “We are already planning on six shows in Mexico City with Velasquez helping us do two shows a day and we are expecting to

attract over 100,000 people for those shows later in the year.” He added that he has a number of national brands that are part of the show, including Dave and Busters and Cricket Wireless, with plans on a national tour of 50 to 70 arenas around the country in the future, especially if the Gila River Arena show is what he is planning. “I recommend it to the teens for the families to take advantage of it,” Kariotoglou said. “As a recommendation, get your tickets now for the biggest and best kids show in the state of Arizona; guaranteed there is none better.” Tickets are available for the February 17 show at the Gila River Arena box office and online at Ticketmaster. com, as well as by phone at 800-7453000.

The black robe: Wear it with dignity and fairness I was teaching a group of hearing officers the other day and a question about wearing a black robe came up. It reminded me of a column I wrote 10-plus years ago. With a few updates, here is that column. Someone asked me why I was not wearing a black robe in the courtroom. I said, “Do you think a black robe makes me any smarter?” He did not answer. I asked him, “Do you know where the custom of judges wearing black robes comes from?” He said, “No.” I said, “The English judges wore black robes and white wigs. Our forefathers decided to go only with the black robe and no wigs, thank goodness. Can you imagine wearing a white wool or horse hair wig in the summer time here in Arizona? Have you heard the saying, ‘Pulling the wool over their eyes?’ That term comes from England, and it refers to pulling a white wool wig over the judge’s eyes; in other words, trying to

LESSONS.FROM. THE.BENCH

Retired Judge Quentin Tolby get away with something.” When I took the bench 26 years ago, the late Supreme Court Appeals Court Judge Bill Eubanks a long-time Glendale resident, was a Supreme Court Appeals Judge and a very good friend. He gave me a little four-inch gavel and Bill this advice. He said, “If you need a big gavel, a high bench and a black robe to maintain order in your courtroom, quit.” I never forgot that advice. Some years later, when I knew Bill was near death, I went to see him and gave him back the little four-inch gavel he had given me. I asked him if he remembered the advice he gave me. He was very weak but gave me a smile and just nodded. Many times, people are intimidated when they appear before a judge; the

black robe can add to that intimidation. I want people to be at ease and tell me their side of an issue. Fear the law but not the judge. I have always believed that people will respect you if you listen carefully, consider all the facts, and give a fair ruling. They might disagree with your findings but they will respect you. My wife, Shirley, and I were at a wedding for a friend in south Phoenix and she had left something in the car. I went to retrieve it from our car. It was dark and a group of young men were in the parking lot. As I walked past the group, one of

the young men said, “That’s Judge Tolby.” I turned to face him and he asked, “Don’t you remember me?” I admitted I did not remember him. He said, “You put me in jail.” I was very fearful; at my age, I could not out run him, there was no help in sight. I have to admit I was afraid. Then he said to his friends, “Hey, man, this dude is cool. He did what he had to do. He treated me with respect and he was fair.” Lesson: Treat everyone the way you would like to be treated.

“I was amazed! Sounds I hadn’t heard in years came back to me!” — Don W., Sherman, TX

How can a hearing aid that costs less than $200 be every bit as good as

Classifieds Work!

one that sells for $2,250 or more? The answer: Although tremendous strides have been made in Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have not been passed on to you. Until now... MDHearingAid® uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price. Over 300,000 satisfied MDHearingAid customers agree: High-quality, FDAregistered hearing aids don’t have to cost a fortune. The fact is, you don’t need to spend thousands for a hearing aid. MDHearingAid is a medical-grade hearing aid offering sophistication and high performance, and works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment” appointments. You can contact a licensed hearing specialist conveniently online or by phone — even after your purchase at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support. Now that you know...why pay more? Can a Hearing Aid Delay or Prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia? A study by the National Institute on Aging suggests older individuals with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer’s and dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. They suggest that an intervention — such as a hearing aid — could delay or prevent this by improving hearing!
