City sees drop in crime rate for 2018 BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

Before Peoria Police Chief Arthur Miller began updating the council on his department, City Manager Jeff Tyne told the mayor and council the report would help them with their review in advance of the city’s yearly budget process. Overall crime decreased by 4.5 percent, response times have decreased slightly and are trending, and a new policing approach has been implemented, Miller said.

A man accused of killing a Peoria resident was arrested February 21 after claiming he was in a relationship with the victim. Christopher Jones, 26, was arrested after a woman called police and said she had found her brother deceased in his home after not hearing from him for several weeks. According to Peoria Police, they received a 911 call from a female stating that she entered her brother’s home in the 7300 block of West Montgomery Road to check on him since he had not been heard from for several weeks. When she entered the home, she said she found a man deceased on the second floor of the residence. She told police she exited the house and called 911. When officers arrived on scene and located the victim, a 59-year-old male who was

Miller referred to the department’s 2018 report, showing response times and personnel distribution at that time. “One suggestion was to realign, from 18 to 14 patrol beats with three officers in the purple area instead of one,” Miller said, pointing to a map of the city on an overhead screen. In the northern part of the city, above Bell Road, there was a large area where much of the land is not developed and two smaller purple-colored areas of central and southern Peoria are more densely populated.

“We hope to have faster response times,” Miller added. Hours per matrix have also been adjusted, Miller said, with officers going two hours later to provide overlapping of shifts. In addition, two more detectives have been reassigned to the Enhanced Fraud Investigation Unit. The department has eight police officer vacancies, Miller said. Candidates in the background process have completed the

Business owners, city agree on facade painting BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

Peoria City Council adopted a resolution at its February 19 regular meeting that authorizes commercial facade paint easements on businesses at 83rd Avenue and Washington Street in Old Town Peoria. Seven property owners agreed to grant easements to the city that will give city workers access to their building exteriors so they can paint the exterior facades, and visit for construction, maintenance and replacements associated with those buildings. The easement grant is subject to the following: a) The owner of each building covenants that it is lawfully authorized and possesses all rights necessary to enter into the agreement and that it will warrant the title and quiet possession against the lawful claim of all persons. b) The owner agrees that during the term of the agreement – set at five years

– it will not cause any modifications, changes, or additions to be made to the commercial facade painting easement without expressed written consent by the city. c) The owner also agrees that it will advise the city promptly upon discovery of any damage to the commercial facade paint easement. The city agrees it will bear the cost of repairing any damage caused to the facade paint. d) The city agrees that if it or any of its agents, employees, or contractors causes damage to the building during the painting of the exterior facade that it will promptly reimburse the owner for the cost of making necessary repairs or replacements upon receiving written notice from the owner. e) The owner and the city acknowledge they have mutually agreed upon the color of the paint to be placed within the easement and any changes to, removal, or replacement of the paint will also be effected upon mutual agreement of the parties, except for

any removal that should occur within the 90 days preceding termination of the agreement. f) The owner may install signage within the easement that complies with the Peoria Sign Code. The owner shall be responsible for the cost of any signage and shall obtain all required approvals and permits before removing or installing signage. g) The city shall have no responsibility to maintain any portion of the building or property except for the paint

deceased in a bedroom on the second floor of the residence. Police said the victim appeared to have trauma to his head and an electrical cord wrapped around his neck. Police said through investigation, it was found the victim was in a relationship with Jones, who also lived at the residence, but was not there upon officer arrival. There was a history of domestic violence calls at the residence involving the two males, police said. Detectives were unable to locate the male that night, but were able to do so the next day, police said. On February 20, less than 24 hours after the original call, detectives found and arrested Jones. During the investigation, Jones was interviewed at the Peoria Police Department and admitted to assaulting and killing the victim, officers said. Jones was processed

Opinion

Public arts funding — 1 percent for the good In the next month or so, you will begin to see beautiful art painted on five intersections in Old Town. These paintings serve as “placemaking” or art that helps to identify the personality of this creative space. The appearance of this art on the roads may cause you to wonder why the city would spend its resources on painting streets, when streets in your neighborhoods are in need of repair or replacement. The purpose of this article is to let you know where the dollars for this street art come from. Nearly four decades ago, Peoria city leaders approved an ordinance that provided for dedicated funding to support public art. Art that exists for passersby to see without admission, in spaces where people congregate, do business, and travel is an important component of vibrant communities. The process by which city council prescribed the funding for these projects was nothing short of visionary. The municipal arts fund serves to hold allocations for city expenditures for public art that is derived from 1 percent of the projected cost of all capital improvement projects paid for in whole or part by the city. Capital improvement projects can generally be described as structures, parks, utility components, streets, and sidewalks. The spending of the arts fund is recommended by the seven-member Peoria Arts Commission. Just as any city board or commission, the Peoria Arts Commission includes local residents and practitioners who volunteer their time to serve the community. Spending of arts funding, as stated in the ordinance, may only be used for specific purposes. The funds may be used for art planning and the related professional services. Funds may be used for documented artist design and expenses related to those designs. Maintenance of the public art collections, as well as the facilities where art is contained may be funded by municipal art funds. Grants to third parties for arts and cultural

COMMenTArY Mayor Pro Tem Vicki Hunt

services may also be funded. That is the limit of how art funding may be expended. It may not be used to fund new buses, new roads, or other city services or programs. Arts funding, by law, can only be used for the arts. And thank goodness, we have those art funds. This year we most proudly applied art funds in several prominent locations. If you have crossed through the intersection at Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley Road, you probably

have seen “The Blooming Spire.” Jutting noticeably upwards above building height, when illuminated at night, “The Blooming Spire” is a unique and warm welcome to Peoria. In the next month, in Old Town, five intersections will become public art locations. The intersection pavement at the key entry points to Old Town will be adorned with locally inspired and locally created custom painted art. For all of the past 40-plus years, Peoria has stood out among many Valley communities for the quality of public art. From framed art in the libraries, monuments in neighborhood parks, live performance by youth in local theaters, and music in neighborhood parks, residents and visitors are surrounded by art in Peoria. As our community continues to develop into full-grown adulthood, you can be sure public art will be a critical part of that development.

Mayor’s message: Spotlight on HART Pantry BY CATHY CARLAT Mayor of Peoria

Peoria SUPPORT (Services Uniting to Provide People with Opportunities, Resources, & Training) is the city’s liaison between citizens in need, non-profit organizations, and government programs. Its mission is to collaborate with agencies by hosting awareness seminars, workshops, fair housing information, and issue resolution. Each month, I’m proud to highlight a different organization doing meaningful work in our community. HART Pantry (Helping At Risk Teens) is a non-profit organization serving local at-risk teens who may be homeless, living in a car or at a shelter, or without access to food on a daily basis. HART Pantry began in 2011 from a chance encounter between a couple and an individual in need at the First

to feed homeless teenagers at Peoria High School. Seeing a need, Ruth and Dick quickly jumped into action and began filling their garage with food items for the teens. After seeing that the need was bigger than they could do from their home, the church decided to get behind the Langfords and make this their shared mission. Utilizing church space, volunteers began filling the needs for students at Peoria High School, but their reach quickly grew from one school to four Peoria schools. After realizing they would need even more space and financial support, the Langfords formed HART Pantry as a 501(c)3 non-profit in 2014. In 2017, HART Pantry moved into its own space,

with the support of the local Lions Foundation. Today, HART Pantry provides supplies for five high schools within the Peoria Unified School District, as well as others throughout the Valley. Working with local school and community counselors, more than 30 volunteers strive to provide eligible teens with needed services. In addition, HART Pantry works closely with the Peoria Community Center to provide weekend meal packages for teens to pick up. For more information about how you can help further HART Pantry’s mission of serving at-risk teens in our community, visit www.hartpantry.org.

Opinion — Letters to the Editor thanks to Debbie Lesko.. for Medicare support The federal conversation seems to always be about health care. There are innovations already occurring with Medicare Advantage. Approximately a half-million Arizona seniors rely on this vital program for quality health care. I chose Medicare Advantage because it’s affordable and covers my health care needs. Plus, I got to keep my doctor. Medicare Advantage can cover dental, vision, hearing, regular checkups, health screenings, transportation and free

membership at participating wellness facilities (Silver Sneakers), depending on the plan. Medicare Advantage offers peace of mind. For seniors like me, it’s comforting to know that health care is affordable and available. There are approximately 70,000 Medicare Advantage enrollees in Congresswoman Debbie Lesko’s district. I thank her for pledging her support for this important program. Anita Lewis Peoria

He said he also provides timely information to department members, city staff and council on significant incidents. In external communications, Miller said he has expanded the use of social media to inform and engage citizens. He said the department is creating new traditions, working to improve the culture and there is an open invitation for formal and informal communication with police labor organizations. Councilman Michael Finn asked Miller, “How much input do officers have in the changes?” Miller replied, “All of us understand however it turns up, we all had input.

nificant, according to the department’s report. The department identified 74 patients enrolled in the community paramedicine program who were the highest users of the 911 system. There was an 89-percent decrease, from 447 calls to 54. Bratcher outlined the next steps the department plans to implement. In the ambulance unit, Rescue 191 and 192 would be deployed by April and medical billing would continue to be refined. In the low-acuity unit, the department would continue to manage for optimal effectiveness. In community paramedicine, the department would continue the part-time program with existing resources and seek partnerships and grants. Councilman Bill Patena remarked

that as he drives around the city, he sees other ambulances, then asked if they worked with the Peoria system. Ruiz said AMR bought out other companies and told council, “Our agreement is as we come in, they go out.” Ruiz then responded to another question from Patena about who determines low acuity by saying, “At dispatch.” Councilwoman and Mayor Pro Tem Vicki Hunt asked about the department’s relationship with Maricopa Integrated Health System, which is building a West Valley clinic at Cotton Crossing and Grand Avenue.

Police officers help elderly citizen find a safe home BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

At the February 19 Peoria City Council meeting, Police Chief Arthur Miller recognized two police officers who went above and beyond for a resident. Miller said on December 27, two Peoria police officers, Steven Cusumano and Renae Hoffman, responded to a 9-1-1 call at an apartment complex. When they arrived at the apartment, they noticed the elderly female resident who could not care for herself. She had

no food, so they went to the store and purchased groceries for her. Two days later, Miller said, the officers returned to the woman’s apartment and discovered she still had not eaten. Hoffman cooked for the woman as Cusumano visited with her. While the officers were at the apartment, a person from Adult Protective Services stopped by. The officers were able to get the woman into an assisted living facility with help from a nurse. The woman now receives 24-hour care. Her family was also contacted.

Cusumano has stopped by on his days off to check on the elderly resident, Miller said. After Miller told the officers’ story,

he invited them to the podium and they were introduced to the mayor and council, all of whom commented on their efforts and caring.

Peoria resident with metal detector on a mission BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

Chad Vinck spends most of his days selling aquariums and maintaining them for customers. His work sometimes has him working weekends as well. Still, he gets out of the shop and walks into the deserts of Arizona, California, Nevada and New Mexico on many weekends. Vinck carries a piece of equipment with him that has uncovered a few unnatural and nearly worthless elements hidden in the shallow soils of the southwest. A bottle cap, paper clip, and nails are often found. Once in a while, however, Vinck’s metal detector signals the presence of a gem. No, not a jewel, but something that has brought Vinck close to being obsessive: military dog tags. Vinck started metal detecting 10 years ago. “I dug my first dog tag three or four years ago,” he said. “And I made it my

personal mission to give them back to their children.” There is a reference to the men who wore the tags in service as members of the U.S. military. “This is the last gift they can give their children,” Vinck said. “They never talked about the war. It’s the last piece of history they can give their families a lot of soldiers never talked about. A lot of people don’t know they trained in the places where the dog tags were found. “I’ve returned World War I dog tags. They watched the border when Poncho Villa was crossing the border. I don’t think they ever had any combat, but they were a presence.” Vinck just returned his 37th dog tag; it was from Michigan. In return he received a picture of the soldier’s son holding the dog tags and a picture of his father. He showed the picture and said, “Hey, this is a real person. I get addicted to finding the dog tags and notifying the soldier’s family. I usually contact

them on Facebook. A lot of people don’t know about the messenger on Facebook, but then, I just go online and track them down.” He said he has to word his messages a certain way so people don’t suspect it is a scam. “Now I text them,” he said. “I send pictures, enough information so they say, ‘Hey, this guy knows a lot about this.’”

He notifies newspapers, too. Then, the newspapers contact the family. “Then, the family calls me,” Vinck said. “Once you develop a trust with people, it’s a lot easier. Some are really nice to talk to.” Once Vinck locates a family and they tell him they would like to have the tags mailed to them, he does not hesitate to

My grandfather was in World War II and my great-grandfather was in World War I. They’re in a shadow box, things like coat buttons. So, this completes a family’s shadow box.” Vinck goes to the national archives to dig deeper. He finds the most important thing: when a soldier was born. He visits Ancestry.com and newspapers.com to find obituaries or wedding announcements. “Everywhere I put the guy’s name, I’ll find the newspaper. Sometimes libraries are a process. It’s very fulfilling, but it’s also time-consuming,” he said. But the back stories of the soldiers intrigue Vinck. He elaborated on a find he is working on now. “A B25 co-pilot in southern Arizona. He was stationed in New Guinea,” Vinck said. “I found a newspaper article from 1945. He had flown home to his parents, had flown in two missions.

The club meets from 7 to 9 p.m. the third Monday of each month at the American Legion post at 7th Avenue just north of Van Buren Street in Phoenix. ‘It’s a lot of fun,” Vinck said. “Different categories of your finds. The story tells it. There’s a silver coin raffle at the end of meetings. Sometimes a guest speaker.” Vinck said the youngest members are in their teens, and others can’t walk anymore; they just come to hear the stories. It costs $30 a year, $40 for families. Club members take a fun trip every month to California or New Mexico to one of the towns Poncho Villa raided. “You never know what you’re going to find,” Vinck said. “You see a lot of trash in the beginning. People have been losing stuff for centuries and they’re still finding it.” But Vinck’s real passion is dog tags. “When we’re out there digging, it’s like we’re there with the soldiers,” he said. “We go out and find these tags. But I really think those tags find us. These tags are just a piece of metal until we do the research and then, they become real people. War heroes, family men, criminals, fathers, brother, sons. All these men have a special place in our lives and I feel a direct connection to each one of them. “All of these soldiers played a special role in America’s history. I feel very fortunate to have crossed these men’s paths and feel that is part of my responsibility to get their stories heard and most importantly, returned to their families who loved these men whether they knew them or just heard stories about them.”

Social on 83rd restaurant off to a good start BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

Joey Lucidi is excited about the reception his restaurant, Social on 83rd, has received since it opened December 15. As with his other two Haymaker restaurants — one in Goodyear and another on North Lake Pleasant Parkway in north Peoria — Lucidi had help from his father, Zip Lucidi. He admits he would “love it to be up north,” close to the Haymaker, Lucidi added, “This area is prime.” Lucidi bought the restaurant from the previous owner who closed the eatery. That is when a lot of changes took place on the exterior and inside. “The goal was to create that trendy restaurant we don’t have in the West Valley,” Lucidi said. To reach that goal, Lucidi found the chef he needed to make it happen. David Duarte was the chef Lucidi had his eyes on; he had known him six years. “He worked for me, was over quali-

fied,” Lucidi said. Duarte stepped up to the challenge and so far, Lucidi said, the feedback from customers has been “very good.” Lucidi has been in the restaurant business 20 years, following in his parents’ footsteps. They owned and operated 11 different restaurants while Lucidi was growing up. And, they are now out of retirement again, working on a barbecue restaurant in Prescott called Lucy Dee’s, a play on their last name. Lucidi said he relies on his 200 employees at all three restaurants to display the same pride he does about service and food. He complimented Social on 83rd general manager Jill Smith, who worked as a bartender at the Peoria Haymaker before Lucidi promoted her. “Now, my fun is growing people,” Lucidi said. “One of the reasons I take pride is our consistency. You’re going to get the same thing every time you come in. We make everything from scratch; we pickle our own vegetables.” One of Lucidi’s favorite dishes is the

charcuterie board, which can be shared by four people. It consists of Italian sliced meat and cheeses. Last week, the cheese was Drunken Billy Goat and the meats were pepperoni and salami. The pork belly and New York strip sliders are some of the best in the Valley, Lucidi said. Who makes all of this happen? Duarte, a transplant from Brooklyn, New York, and a former firefighter with Daisy Mountain Fire Department. Social on 83rd will be his home kitchen for the next four or five years, but his heart

is in Tuscany, Italy, where he plans to open a bed and breakfast. But even Duarte confesses he could not bring good food to a table without Carly, his sous chef. “She pretty much runs everything for me,” Duarte said. “She’s amazing, super talented. She’s been with me for a while. You always have to train your team to work without you. We usually run five in the kitchen and they all have the ability to handle every station.” Duarte calls his menu at Social on

83rd “very eclectic, not a specific style; some comfort, European, Asian. There’s plenty of places in the Valley to get chain food. Joey has let me develop the menu, but he’s very informed about the West Valley palate — new, exciting but somewhat familiar.” For steaks and other cuts of meat, Duarte uses the sous vive underwater bath. The meat is sealed in a bag and remains in a temperature-controlled bath. So, if you order medium rare, it will be medium rare all the way through. When it is ready to be served, it is removed from the bag and very lightly placed in a pan over a fire just to add the grilled look for a better presentation. “We, as chefs, should strive to serve the best possible,” Duarte said. “You get a perfect, moist, flavorful steak. Enjoy your food without rushing. You can eat anywhere. I want you to have a dining experience here.” Lucidi said everything is under $20 and most dinner plates are $12 to $16; lunches range from $9 to $12. “Our objective is to get you talking with people,” he said. “I believe we have the best patio in the West Valley.”

Fletcher Heights Florist named Business of the Month BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Mayor Cathy Carlat recognized Fletcher Heights Florist as the Mayor’s Business of the Month for February 2019. Carlat said, “For the past 14 years, Fletcher Heights Florist has provided creative, unique, and hand-made floral arrangements to the Peoria community and beyond. Today, the small business is owned by Karen Schock, who works alongside a team of floral designers who collectively bring more than 90 years of experience in the industry.” Raised in Pasadena, Calif., a community widely known for the Tournament of Roses, Schock grew up contributing to the beauty of the Rose Bowl Parade floats. Schock said she made the decision to move to Peoria after hearing from close friends and local residents that Peoria was the “place to be.” Her son soon followed and now works alongside her at Fletcher Heights Florist. Schock has found local flower

farms who deliver flora every morning. Schock said she believes that by supplying locally sourced flowers, customers are able to enjoy superior products and longer lasting creations. In addition, she said, by offering free local delivery to Peoria residents, customers are able to receive flowers from the farm to their home the same day. Schock said she recognizes the important meanings that flowers convey and is committed to serving Peoria residents with exceptional service and quality products. The shop offers a variety of craft flower creations, including boutonnieres, corsages, and larger celebratory arrangements, as well as succulents, plants, and rotating specialty items, such as frames and décor. Fletcher Heights Florist is in the shopping plaza at the northwest corner of 83rd Avenue and Deer Valley Road. To learn more about the family-owned business, visit www.fletcherheightsflorist.com or call 623-537-2211.

Gymnast returns to Cirque Du Soleil with Amaluna BY DARRELL JACKSON PeoriaTimes Staff Writer

Shae Zamardi has had success as a gymnast and graduated from Louisiana State University with a Bachelor’s Degree is sports marketing degree with a minor in business, but she wanted something more. “I had been a gymnast my entire life and went to college for four years and after college, got a job in the real world when I realized I missed swinging on a bar,” Zamardi said during a recent phone interview. “I had a friend that was in Cirque Du Soleil and I got a try out and was hired.” After a lifetime of being a gymnast, and working a day job for two years, she got a call that changed her life. “A friend of mine was part of Cirque Du Soleil and told me they had an opening,” Zamardi said. “It was then I realized I missed being on the bars and decided to try out.”

Career.and.Lsu

Zamardi had done artistic gymnastics competitively for 16 years, as well as part of team Canada for three years, before joining LSU’s gymnastic team. “I had done gymnastics my entire life and went to LSU and competed,” Zamardi said. “I visited LSU with my mom and they offered me the scholarship on my first trip down and I was hooked.” During her freshman season, the Tigers finished third at nationals then jumped to second (national runner-up) in her junior year and second again in her senior year, just missing the prestigious NCAA Championship. “It was tough, we wanted the championship, but I had so much fun in my time at LSU,” Zamardi said. “It was just an amazing time and the sport grew so much while I was there.” After four years of work, Zamardi graduated and put her gymnastics career to a close when she went to work

with a job after graduation, or so she thought. “I had a 9 to 5 desk job when I was told that Cirque Du Soleil had an opening and they contacted me and asked me if I was interested,” Zamardi said. “I started training about a week before my tryout and recorded myself on the bars and they liked what they saw.” She joined the team in November 2018 and began working on Amaluna where she plays an Amazon in the production.

amaluna

Amaluna is a Cirque doe Soleil performance that invites the audience to a mysterious island governed by Goddesses and guided by the cycles of the moon. Their queen, Prospera, directs her daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony in a rite that honors femininity, renewal, rebirth and balance which marks the passing of these insights and values from one generation to the next. “This show is so much fun and invites the crowd to a magical place,” Zamardi said. “I play an amazon and we have to showcase what it is like to be the character we are playing.” The show illustrates how a group of young men land on an island which triggers an emotional love story between Pospera’s daughter and a brave young man who tries to win her love. “It is just an amazing show and I have never had more fun than I am right now,” Zamardi said. “I come to work with a smile on my face and, even though it is a lot of hard work, I love my job.” The name Amaluna is a fusion of the words ama, which refers to “mother” in many languages, and luna, which means “moon,” a symbol of femininity that evokes both the mother-daughter relationship and the idea of goddess and protector of the planet. Amaluna is also the name of the mysterious island where the story unfolds. “Amaluna is a tribute to the work and voice of women,” explains Director of Creation Fernand Rainville.

performers.go.through..stunts.while.showcasing.the.love.story.of.Amaluna..(Photo courtesy of Cirque Du Soleil)

“The show is a reflection on balance from a woman’s perspective,“ he adds. Show Director Diane Paulus says: “I didn’t want to build a ‘women’s agenda’ show. I wanted to create a show with women at the center of it, something that had a hidden story that featured women as the heroines.” Zamardi says when she joined, she was surprised how different it was from her days as a gymnast. “I had done gymnastics for 15 years, and after two years in retirement, that part came back to me like riding a bicycle,” Zamardi said. “The hardest part is the story and becoming a character and knowing when I enter the stage I leave Shae and become my amazon character.” When asked what the best part of the show is for her, Zamardi had an immediate answer. “The look on the kids and faces of the families as they watch the show is what it is all about,” she said. “That and kids coming up to me after the show with a look of amazement on their faces, that makes it all worth it.”

Judge Tolby retires after 65 years

I am pleased to announce the welldeserved retirement of Judge Quentin Tolby after 65 years of public service. During that time, he has served as an Air Force pilot, councilmember, mayor and justice of the peace. I first met Quentin when I was a police officer and would appear in his courtroom for variety of cases. It never crossed my mind that someday I would have the privilege of being the justice of the peace in his court. At that time, it was called the Glendale Justice Court and as the boundaries changed, he chose the new name for the court, “Manistee Justice Court.” I am pleased to share that Quentin has become my mentor and close friend. If you have not met Quentin in person, let me share that he is an exceptionally humble, inspirational and Christian man. Quentin asked his sweetheart, Shirley, for her hand in marriage after their first date. She is the only woman he has ever dated. They have been married 64 years. If you have had the chance to have one of Shirley’s brownies, you can understand why they are famous at all the justice courts. I am sure Shirley’s baking talents are only one of the many reasons he asked her to marry him. As you know, Quentin is a master storyteller who draws his stories from his own life. I have had the pleasure of listening to his stories for hours. Many of them are about the history of the Valley, some have a moral element but most are simply hilarious. If you ever have an opportunity to visit with him, encourage him to share his stories with you; you will not be disappointed. My favorite stories are the ones about how things have changed over

LessONs.frOM. tHe.BeNCH

Judge Donald Watts Manistee Justice Court the years. He told me a story about an opportunity he had in 1952 to earn some extra money. “My friend, Ernie, asked me one night if I would like to earn a couple extra dollars and I said sure. He did not tell me what we would be doing. After work, he picked me up and I found out that the job he had was as a bouncer. I was just a 17-year-old farm boy and very naïve. We drove to The Willow Breeze Ballroom around 27th Avenue and McDowell. Early in the evening, he gave me some advice. He said we don’t want to do anything for a while because you do not want to fight a sober man. The drill was to break up all the fights and handcuff the drunks to the light pole in the parking lot. Every hour or so, Phoenix Police Department would pick up all that were handcuffed to the poles and take them down to the station and the next morning, turn them loose; no paperwork.” Things sure have changed over the years and in this case I think they have changed for the better. All of us have read Quentin’s articles over the years. He estimates that he has written more than 1,000 articles (personally, I think it is more than that). Quinten told me that this is quite an accomplishment for someone that flunked out of high school English. Quentin and I are excited to tell you we will continue writing articles

Quentin.tolby

for the newspaper. One week will be inspiring stories from Quentin and the next week will be Lessons From The Bench from me. In 1954 he became a jet fighter pilot for the Air Force. In 1976, he was elected to Glendale City Council and in 1992 he became the mayor for the city of Glendale. In 1993, he was appointed as a justice of the peace. His first retirement was in 2006 as the justice of

the peace. After retirement, he decided he wanted to continue working so he became the administrator pro tem for the justice courts and remained in that position until 2019. Between you and me, I would not be surprised if he did not start working on his third retirement any day now. Lesson from the bench: Ten years ago, Quentin said, “At 77, I am asked quite often when are you going to retire, I made a vow with our Lord that if I lived through my cancer I would never waste any of the time or talent he gave me and so far I have not run out of time but sometimes I question the talent.” I am sure Judge Tolby would ask you if are using all your “talents” If you would like to send a letter or card congratulating Judge Tolby, send it to my attention at the Manistee Justice Court, 14264 W. Tierra Buena Lane, Surprise, AZ 85374 and I will make sure he receives it. Join Judge Donald Watts e-newsletter at www.DonaldWatts.info.

Rotarians host annual ‘Prom Closet’ BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Thanks to the efforts of several West Valley Rotary Clubs, young boys and girls throughout the area will be able to attend their high school prom this spring without having to spend a single penny on purchasing needed attire. Beginning at the end of March and continuing through every Saturday in

April, The Prom Closet — a project spearheaded by the Peoria North Rotary Club — will provide formal prom attire to boys and girls at absolutely no charge. This year ’s Prom Closet takes place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays, beginning March 30 and continuing through April 27. The event takes place at Landmark Elementary School, 5730 W. Myrtle Avenue in downtown Glendale.

All high school teens are invited. There are no financial requirements and no application to be completed. All items are available at no cost. The Prom Closet has thousands of formal prom dresses to choose from, as well as shoes and accessories. In addition to women’s clothing, the program provides men’s shirts, slacks, shoes and ties. The program was initially created several years ago by Mary Ann Baker, a founding member and past president of the Peoria North Rotary Club. The Peoria club assumed total oversight of The Prom Closet two years ago and is supported by volunteer Rotarians from Sun City, Glendale, Surprise and Phoenix. “It’s really grown into a community-wide project,” said Donnis Deever, a member of Peoria North Rotary Club and co-chair of this year’s project. “Not only do we have Rotarians from throughout the Valley, but we have many other residents who have joined on as volunteers — many of whom felt the impact of the program when their sons or daughters visited

The Prom Closet in the past.” There are no reservations needed; however, there may be a short wait depending on the number of people in attendance. Rotary volunteers accompany students individually through The Prom Closet to assist them with their selections. Formal attire is only available to students. The event has steadily grown over the years, as word continues to spread. Last year, nearly 300 students from 70 Arizona high schools were served. “We had several students come from as far away as Winslow,” Deever said. In the past, the event was open Saturday and Sunday over three weekends. This year, the Prom Closet is open only on Saturdays, but on five consecutive Saturdays. Volunteers, too, are needed and welcome. Sue Bolton, a member of the Sun City Rotary Club and co-chair of this year’s event, said volunteers are needed not only to help students select their formal attire, but to help with registration, set-up, steaming

Religion Discovering the two lives we live

Did you know there are two lives we live this side of heaven? Bernard Malamud in his book, “The Natural,” clarifies these two lives.The first is the life we learn from. The second life is the life we live after that. We learn from our mistakes when we investigate why we made those mistakes, then change our behavior. That leads to the second life of living without making the mistakes again, which is a much better life. We know we will make other mistakes but at least we are not suffering from making our prior mistakes again. Brittany Burgunder captures this concept perfectly. She said, “I don’t have the perfect roadmap drawn out, but I do know which roads I’ll never drive down again.” Great losses should be great lessons. Unfortunately, many, if not most, people keep living the first life, over and over like a skipping record, never getting to the second life. The second life is what everyone longs for but seldom arrives at. All of history shows that humans and countries never learn from history. They just say, “Well, they just didn’t do it right. I do it right.”

Pastor Ed Delph Church @ Community The tragedy about history, personally and globally, is that while we may learn it, we never learn it. I want that second life. Believe me, there are many people who have learned from their mistakes, change and get better. Like an elevator, they step in, step up to a higher floor and step out to an abundant life that limits abundant strife. Every great mistake comes with an opportunity to learn, assuming we are alive. Let me illustrate. Years ago, I did quite a bit of private flying. My high school friend for life, Bob Loeb, and I bought a Piper Comanche. It was a great plane and a great experience. I still have my private pilot license. The one thing I learned about flying was don’t make too many mistakes for obvious reasons. As a pilot, I read Flying magazine without compromise. I wanted to learn

First United Methodist Church of Glendale 7102 N. 58th Drive

about flying because it matters. The first column I read every month in the magazine was “I Learned about Flying from That” (I.L.A.F.F.T). The article was written by pilots who got themselves into big trouble from mistakes they made while flying and lived to tell about their mistakes by the hair of their chinny chin-chin. They learned from the experience. I figured it’s better to be a learner than an ex-learner. They had their first life of the life they learned from. Now, after that mistake, they were never going to make that mistake again. Now they moved to the life they would live after that. They got an Aha. I was happy to glean from their experience. That article saved me from making the same mistake they did many a time. We can glean from what happens when an aviation accident happens. The first thing the FAA does is investigate the crash. It matters. It matters for us, too. When calamity happens, take the time to investigate or you will repeat your history again. What does the FAA investigate? They investigate “why” the accident happened. The “what” has already happened, the lesson is discovered in the “why the what.” After the investigation, they

correct, inform, train, and communicate the problem causing the problem so others won’t do the same. Most (including me) don’t take the time or initiative to investigate “why the what.” Here’s a lesson for us. When calamity happens, take the time to investigate. Otherwise, we will just repeat history again. We will learn the lesson but not apply the lesson in future decisions. If we learn and apply, the outcome will be drastically different. Did you know the Bible has something to say about this? “Clean the slate, God, so we can start the day fresh. Keep me from stupid sins, from thinking I can take over your work.” Psalm 19:13. God will clean our slate, if we can get past presumption or stupid sins. God doesn’t say we’re stupid. God says that’s stupid. It’s like taking an elevator upward. Step in, step up and step out into your second life.
