Schools focus on brains, bellies BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

With marching orders to take care of young minds and midsections, school administrators have had to scramble in the era of COVID-19. Glendale education leaders had to act swiftly March 15, when Gov. Doug Ducey closed schools for two weeks. On Friday, March 20, Ducey extended the closures by another two weeks, through April 10. In his March 15 proclamation, Ducey also ordered: “School administrators should make every effort to provide continued education learning opportunities through online resources or materials that can be sent home.” And Ducey noted, “School adminis-

trators should develop a plan to continue breakfast and lunch services for Arizona students.” The Peoria Unified School District had a few days to plan, as district schools were on spring break March 16-20. This week, with the break over, the district started providing to-go meals and Ducey-mandated online learning. On its website, peoriaunified.org, PUSD outlines its plan. “Peoria Unified’s Curriculum and Instruction team has compiled a list of online resources for at-home learning activities. While none of the activities are required, you may choose to use the list as a menu of ideas to explore and select those activSEE SCHOOLS PAGE 2

Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers declared a “local emergency” in the city Wednesday, March 18, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “This declaration allows me to take the measures needed to protect the health and safety of our community,” Weiers said. “We are faced with an unprecedented public health emergency, with the global spread of COVID-19. “Our actions, both individually and collectively, will determine how soon and how hard the virus impacts the city of Glendale.”

The declaration came a day before Gov. Doug Ducey banned eating in restaurants. Ducey closed bars, gyms and movie theaters but allowed restaurants to remain open for takeout, curbside and delivery service. Weiers’ announcement came as county and state positive tests increased signifi-

By Tuesday, March 24, the number grew to 199—including three at Luke Air Force Base. “The members and their families have been isolated in their home since first showing symptoms,” said Brig. Gen. Todd Canterbury, 56th Fighter Wing commander. Those who may have had contact with the three have been notified, he added. Weiers reiterated warnings about seniors being the most at-risk population. “Eight out of 10 deaths reported in the U.S. have been in adults 65 years old and SEE MAYOR PAGE 3

ities that are of interest to your child.” “We are working on a plan,” said Danielle Airey, a PUSD spokeswoman, when asked about hotspots for students without home internet access. An online document breaks down opportunities by grade level and subject. The document states more information is located on the PUSD Student Portal. There are also links to learning sites such as khanacademy.org and learnzillion.com. Similarly, Glendale Union High School District’s website, guhsdaz.org, provides a link for “online enrichment resources.” GUHSD also noted, “Students needing paper copies can request them by emailing their school.” Glendale Elementary School District has “enrichment activities” at gesd40. org. “In Glendale, we believe community strengthens education and we will come together to ensure the academic needs of our students are met,” said Cindy Segotta-Jones, GESD superintendent, in a letter posted on the district website. “Students and families please know we miss you dearly.” With an online emphasis on keeping brains stimulated, GESD, PUSD and GUHSD all are providing meal pickups for young bellies. According to GUHSD, “Free grab-and-go meals will be provided to children 18 and younger from March 23 to April 10 at all nine of our comprehensive high schools between 9 and 11 a.m.” The GUHSD meal locations include four Glendale high schools: • Apollo High School, 8045 N. 47th Avenue. • Glendale High School, 6216 W. Glendale Avenue. • Independence High School, 6602 N. 75th Avenue. • Washington High School, 2217 W. Glendale Avenue. Glendale Elementary School District started curbside meals Wednesday, March 18, and will continue through the extended closure.

Families do not need to register for meals and there are no income requirements. At PUSD, meals for 37,000 students are available for curbside pick-up from 10:30 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday. All meals will be served in a bag with a lunch and cold breakfast for the next day. Lunch will include a hot or cold entrée, fruit, vegetable and milk. Breakfast will include an entrée, fruit, juice and milk. “Those 18 and younger will receive free meals and they will be distributed (one per child) on a first come, first served basis. Meals for adults will be available for purchase for $3,” according to the district website. Those with accessibility needs should email foodandnutruition@pusd11.net.

You do not have to attend our schools to participate or be approved for the free and reduced meal program in order to receive meals,” Allread noted. At the DVUSD locations, children must be present in order for meals to be provided. Meal distribution sites will be set up outside at each location and meals should not be consumed at that location. Those driving are advised to stay in the car, and meals will be passed to the driver.

older,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC estimated that, among adults 65 and older confirmed to have COVID-19, 4 to 11% have died. In Italy, according to the Italian Department of Infectious Diseases, 85% of the deaths from COVID-19 have been people 70 and older. “I am requesting that our seniors, particularly those 70 years and older, self-quarantine for their own protection,” Weiers said. “I understand this means they will have limited access to acquiring food and medicine on their own. “Therefore, I am calling on the leaders from the faith-based community to develop and provide both a plan and volunteers to serve the individual needs of our seniors who self-quarantine.” The mayor’s proclamation reiterated state, national and international guidelines: “Members of the public are urged to: “Use social distancing and avoid groups of 10 or more people. “Avoid contact with those with elevated risks. “Stay home and contact your medical provider if you or others in your household feel sick. “Stay home and away from other people if you are an older person or you have a serious underlying condition that can put you at increased risk; for example, a condition that impairs your lung or heart function or weakens your immune system. “Practice good personal hygiene, such as regularly washing your hands, avoid touching your face, sneezing into a tissue or the inside of your elbow, and frequently disinfecting.” Weiers urged Glendale residents to look out for their neighbors—and support local restaurants. “It is up to each of us to help and take care of each other. If you see someone in need of support, help them, or reach out to others who can help,” he said. “Together, we all share this responsibility of keeping our community safe and our businesses strong. I have a tremendous amount of faith in Glendale and I know that we will emerge from this situation stronger and more unified than ever before.”

Muscato to help seniors with groceries, meds BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Sar Staff Writer

Could Your Lifestyle Be Causing Your Shoulder Pain? By Leading Physical Therapist, Nick Hunter Your daily routine can be so uniform to you that it becomes second nature to read before bed, scroll through your phone, or to carry your bag on one shoulder… Have you been told that there’s no solution for your shoulder pain? That you’re going to have to limit your activities to cope with the pain? The most important aspect of treating shoulder pain is finding the root cause. Our patients are often unaware that small things that they do every day can add up to excruciating shoulder pain down the line. If you’re anything like me, there’s nothing like a good book before bed. Maybe you just like to scroll through social media, the news, or even your email. This not only leads to tense neck and shoulder muscles, but it eventually leads to poor posture and chronic pain. Remember to adjust your position every 10 minutes to avoid any strain. You can even invest in phone stands or tablet stands so that your eyes are doing the adjusting- not your head! My pro tip is to stretch both before bed and after waking up in the morning. It’s easy to underestimate the power of stretching. Even a few minutes is better than nothing! If you are 40+, know that there are ways for you to stay active and independent, live free from pain killers and avoid surgery... even if you’ve had pain for years.

Bill waives requirement for school make-up time BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

State lawmakers are weighing contingency plans in case public schools do not reopen soon—or at all this school year. SB 1693 introduced late Wednesday, March 18, spells out that if classes resume by March 30 there is no requirement for school districts to make up the lost days. It also would extend the window for required statewide standard assessment tests through the end of May. That March 30 date is not chosen by accident. That is the date that Kathy Hoffman set for reopening following a two-week closure in response to the spread of COVID-19 and the fact that teachers were calling in sick, leaving many classrooms without someone to lead them. But the legislation crafted by Rep. Michelle Udall, R-Mesa, and Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, has no such assumption that the emergency will be

over by then. Indeed, Hoffman and Gov. Doug Ducey announced an extension of the school closure for another two weeks. If kids are not back in school March 30, the measure would suspend state laws that require there be a certain number of school days and instructional hours. It also would cancel the annual statewide achievement tests for this year and ensure that the letter grades now assigned to each school do not decline. But the most significant part would

be to require public schools to offer education services “in alternative formats’’ if they want to get their state aid. And it would allow schools to continue to pay employees to work from home or perform alternative assignments through the end of the school year. “Our students can’t afford to lose the last quarter of the school year,’’ Udall said in a prepared statement. “We trust our educators and school leaders to do everything in their power to ensure students have the stability and the opportunity to continue to learn during this challenging time.’’ Richie Taylor, spokesman for the state Department of Education, said his boss, state schools chief Kathy Hoffman, is still reviewing what was introduced to see how it would work. “We don’t have a lot of answers,’’ he said. But one big question, Taylor said, deals with the question of online learning. “Even in urban areas there are lots of students that don’t have access at home,’’ he said. Joe Thomas, president of the Arizona Education Association, said the legislation does provide a lot of flexibility. He said it can include online lessons for students with access to computers. But Thomas said it also provides the opportunity for teachers to prepare and send home packets of materials for students to review. Thomas said there is no real reason that many things cannot be taught remotely. “You can take the SAT test online,’’ he said. But that, Thomas said, requires months of preparation, something the state does not have. “The trick is, we’re in kind of uncharted territory,’’ he said. And that, Thomas said, will require some creativity by educators. The easiest situations to take care of, he said, might be for specific subject teachers. Consider, Thomas said, someone teaching social studies and lessons for the next two weeks involv-

ing the Civil War. “Send out some readings, some assignments, some enrichment activities,’’ he said. That last category, Thomas said, could be viewing a movie—one that would be interesting enough for a parent to also enjoy and then be able to discuss the issues with a child. And he said this isn’t a one-way street. Students could show what they know, for example, by preparing and sending back a journal. Even an openbook test is an option. “They’ll get that back to us, either email or some kind of form online or a packet,’’ Thomas said. “And we’ll grade that and that will be the grade they get for the assignment.’’ Udall, however, told Capitol Media Services there’s no reason that this kind of learning won’t work for students in lower grades. “I think this is a good opportunity, especially for those younger kids, to really hone in on some of those basic skills that, at this time of the year, can be reinforced,’’ she said. “And so if we have staff that are assigned at home with nothing else to do they can be calling kids and reading with them,’’ she explained. “They can be FaceTiming with kids and reading with them. There can be lots of way to ensure the kids are still learning something.’’ High school seniors present a bit of a different problem, as they want to get a diploma that will actually allow them to get into college. The legislation allows the state Board of Education to adopt rules to ensure that happens. “What we figure is if a student is on track to graduate this year that we’re not going to do anything to prevent them from graduating,’’ Udall said. The legislation also contains some provisions designed to provide financial flexibility. For example, Udall said, a school district may have money it received from the state which is earmarked for student transportation. With no need to use those dollars that way, the measure permits district officials to reallocate it to other priorities.

Area Boys and Girls Clubs open as schools close BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

With schools across the state closing due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley opened its doors to impacted families to provide child care. Many of the clubs in Maricopa County expanded their hours to care for children of working parents. Capacity is limited and priority is being given to children of health care employees, public safety, state workers and other essential workers, according to Cassidy Campana, a spokeswoman with Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley. She said children will be provided a pre-packaged breakfast, lunch and a snack throughout the day. The attendees will have a relatively normal day of activities, with enhanced safety and cleaning precautions added to protect against the spread of the virus. “We know our members well and know that many don’t have access to other child care options. So, even though

it was a significant decision because it involves our staff and is a financial risk, we felt strongly that we had to be there and be a safety net and help the kids get meals and a safe place to stay while their parents or caretakers are out working,” Campana said. Gov. Doug Ducey announced emergency funding on March 15 to support the expanded services. “Today we announced a two-week closure of Arizona schools, and our office will be working closely with partners in the nonprofit, faith-based and education communities—such as the Boys & Girls Club—to make available child care options and assistance to families who need it. My sincere thanks to the Boys & Girls Clubs Arizona Alli-

ance and everyone working to protect public health and support each other at this time. We will continue to work together—the government, nonprofits and the private sector—to do all we can to keep kids and families safe and healthy,” Ducey said. Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley is also soliciting donations. With the extra staff, equipment and procedures needed to run safely and efficiently, Campana said the clubs are running at a cost of about 150% compared to normal. “We run a very tight budget, and we’re asking staff to be available at additional hours, and we’re just not budgeted to do that. It’s a big financial risk to us, and it’s a large expense. Plus, the additional janitorial efforts and supplies. We really need all the help we can get,” she said. The organization is urging families to try and find a way to stay home with children if at all possible, as the CDC and other health organizations have preached social distancing to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Children that

exhibit symptoms will not be permitted entry. Annual youth (ages 6-12) membership dues are $30. Monthly school-year youth program fees are just $25 per month in most Phoenix/West Valley clubs. Annual teen membership dues are $15. There are no monthly fees for teens. Boys and Girls Clubs of the Valley locations include: • Louis & Elizabeth Sands Branch, 4730 W. Grovers Avenue, Glendale, 602-375-0400. • Swift Kids Branch, 6420 W. Maryland Avenue, Glendale; 623-939-6952. • Jerry and Helen Wisotsky Peoria Branch; 11820 N. 81st Avenue, Peoria; 623-979-3559. • Ed Robson Branch, 15815 N. 59 th Avenue, Phoenix; 602-449-2850. • Jerry Colangelo Branch, 1755 N. 34th Avenue, Phoenix; 602-424-0410 Most clubs are open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Dems, Reps debate state budget in light of COVID-19 BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Efforts to quickly enact an $11.8 billion “baseline’’ contingency budget for the coming fiscal year hit a snag March 18 as some Republicans questioned what is—and is not—in the spending plan and Democrats are holding out for some priorities. The decision by the House to postpone floor debate came as some Democrats accused GOP colleagues of failing to take seriously the threat of COVID-19. They questioned why House Speaker Rusty Bowers chose to have a vote on a resolution supporting the government of Taiwan if there is a rush to adopt a spending plan and send lawmakers and staff home to get them out of situations where there are large groups and the possibility of contamination. “My objection is not to Taiwan,’’ said Rep.

She said the focus should be on what is happening with the Arizona economy—and the failure of the Republican-controlled Legislature to adopt any measures to help out small businesses and the people who work for them. “Many of our small business owners only have one month’s cushion,’’ Jermaine said. “Many of our workers have only two weeks’ of savings,’’ she continued. “People are coming up on that first missed paycheck and people are going to become homeless and businesses are shutting.’’ There also was a tweet posted by Rep. Anthony Kern, R-Glendale, of himself and three other Republicans out March 17 night at a restaurant poking fun at the order issued earlier that day by Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego closing down bars and restaurants to prevent the spread of the disease. “It’s 8:15 p.m. Do you know where Phoenix Mayor @KateWGallego is?’’ the tweet read, complete with hashtags of #resist and #freedomofassembly. Kern later took the tweet down. Rep. John Allen, R-Scottsdale, was unapologetic about pushing ahead with SCR 1025, which already had been approved by the Senate. He said Taiwan has been an important trade partner with Arizona and represents the will of 30 million of its citizens to remain free of China. Not all Democrats opposed approval of the resolution.

sure, noting it comes as Tucson International Airport is negotiating with the government of Taiwan to promote trade. But the question of how seriously some are taking the threat of COVID-19 came into sharp focus amid comments by Rep. Travis Grantham, R-Gilbert. “I’ve been shot at,’’ he told colleagues. “I’ve been given anthrax vaccinations, exposed to chemical weapons areas.’’ And then there is the question of numbers and risk. “Not to discount anybody’s opinion or concern about what’s going on in our country, 0.00000365 percent of the Arizona population is carrying a virus that to many young healthy individuals is no different than a common cold but is dangerous to some of our population,’’ Grantham said. “And those people should be taken care of and should exercise caution. Those comments drew a slap from Rep. Randy Friese, D-Tucson, who is a physician. “Mr. Grantham’s comments, I think we need to be very aware of the epidemiology of a viral illness,’’ he said, and the fact that the current low rate of infection is not an indication of the lack of a hazard. “The slope of that curve may be quite low right now,’’ Friese said. “But that slope will be changing rapidly and creating an exponential of mathematical curve.’’ Questions of the virility of the virus aside, House Minority Leader Charlene Fernandez blasted Republican leadership for wanting to simply adopt a baseline budget and go home. She said lawmakers have an obligation to deal with the real effects of the outbreak—and the fallout from shuttered businesses, reduced tourism and general weakening of the economy. For example, she noted that the Republican-controlled Legislature added a requirement several years ago that adults receiving food stamps must go out and look for work and take any available job. Fernandez said there are no jobs available. “And do we want people who may be

ill to be out there looking for work?’’ she asked. A similar requirement exists for those getting unemployment insurance. Fernandez also wants some protections for what happens as people cannot pay their rent, both to keep them in their homes and apartments and provide financial relief for landlords who will not be able to collect monthly payments. Bowers defended the push to simply enact a baseline budget and shut down the Legislature for some period of time. “All these functions of government are preserved going forward,’’ he said. Anything else, Bowers said, can wait until lawmakers return. The question remains of whether there are the votes to simply adopt a baseline budget and leave. On the House side, Rep. David Cook, R-Globe, questioned the delay in approving $20 million to construct a bridge across Tonto Creek, where three children were swept away last year. Across the courtyard, Senate President Karen Fann, R-Prescott, finds she does not currently have a working majority among Republicans, with two of her members staying away to avoid possible contamination. And, unlike the House, the Senate is not planning to allow remote voting. That means Fann needs the cooperation of Senate Minority Leader David Bradley, D-Tucson, to approve a new budget. And Bradley and the Democrats are likely to insist on some relief for those affected by the virus. While the plan is billed as simply current funding plus inflation and population growth, there is some new money in there. It includes $67.8 million in additional “district additional assistance,’’ restoring funds that were cut from schools during the recession. There also is $30 million spread over this fiscal year and next for new locks at some state prisons as well as a plan to convert some of the facilities from swamp coolers. But the issue there is not inmate comfort but the fact that the coolers keep the air damp and promote rust in the locks.

City implements more social-distancing restrictions BY TOM SCANLON

Glendale Star Managing Editor

The city of Glendale took more actions late last week in light of national and state efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19. The public is no longer permitted to attend Glendale City Council meetings in person or visit City Hall. “In accordance with federal health guidelines, the city of Glendale announced today that city council voting meetings and city council workshops will be closed to the public,” Jay Crandall, a city spokesman, said Friday, March 20. “These steps follow guidelines stating no more than 10 people should be gathered in a room at the same time, to combat the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).

Restaurants staying open but cutting staff BY OCTAVIO SERRANO

After state orders to end in-restaurant dining, many Glendale restaurants remain open for takeout and delivery. However, several report they have had to cut staff. Gov. Doug Ducey prohibited dining in restaurants as of Saturday, March 21. His order directed restaurants to only offer takeout and delivery options. Since then, restaurants in Glendale have begun to follow the new guidelines. But many are seeing business take a steep fall. Lulu Rodriguez has been one of the owners of Bitzee Mama’s for 10 years. The restaurant has been open in Downtown Glendale for 48 years. “I think we should take care of our community first,” Rodriguez said. “We are curbside right now and we shut down the dine-in.” Since it became a curbside-service only restaurant, Rodriguez said the business has taken a hit and she has considerably reduced staff work hours. She said she doesn’t plan on letting go any of her employees, but she can’t keep them from being employed elsewhere.

“If they decide to get a job somewhere else, I would understand,” Rodriguez said. “If I don’t have a business, I can’t really employ them.” Rodriquez said she loves the community of Glendale and she has found comfort in the support her business has received. She ac-

restaurant/bar just celebrated its oneyear anniversary. He also understands the precautions and attempts to slow the spread of COVID-19. “It’s very concerning but I don’t think that we should be alarmed,” Tafoia said. “I have friends that have been through the situation in China and said that everything went smooth for them.” Tofia said he has also reduced his staff by more than half. Although his staff is smaller, he said his business will remain open for the essential personnel that needs to be on the streets during the pandemic. “We should stay safe and listen to what the state officials are saying,” Tafoia said. “If we work together, we will get through this faster.” Left: Lulu Rodriguez has been one of the owners of Bitzee Mama’s for 10 years, which has been in Downtown Glendale for 48 years.

DDC West Valley in ‘Hold ‘em’ mode, closes temporarily BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Tohono O’odham Nation is not rolling the dice with public health. The Nation and the Tohono O’odham Gaming Enterprise (TOGE) temporarily suspended gaming operations at the four Desert Diamond Casinos throughout Arizona, including Desert Diamond Casino West Valley in Glendale, due to concerns of COVID-19. The group of casinos suspended games at 11:59 p.m. March 18, on what TOGE group hopes is just a twoweek hiatus. “In this unprecedented time, it is our duty to protect the community and collective action is needed to slow this virus. We are all in this together and I am proud to be a part of the vital Arizona Tribal Gaming community, which

employs thousands of workers. I commend the other tribal casinos who are also making tough decisions for their own communities as well. It is in moments like these that our communities must rise to the challenge by relying on the shared values of compassion, collaboration and generosity that have

inspired us for generations,” Tohono O’odham Nation Chairman Ned Norris Jr. said. The closures came a week after the casino announced increased cleaning efforts and extra hand-sanitizing stations in crowded areas of the gaming floor.

However, due to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations of social distancing, TOGE CEO Rudy Prieto said the temporary suspension of gaming was a necessary step. “This action is being taken to protect the safety of our team members, guests and the community. We will do everything we can to support our team members, including ensuring that they continue to be compensated during the planned closure,” Prieto said. “It is important that we all do our part in this uncertain time and we want to thank our guests and the Desert Diamond family for their patience and understanding.” For more information on suspended gaming operations or Desert Diamond Casinos, visit ddcaz.com.

Senate OKs COVID-19 bill mandating paid leave BY JESSICA MYERS Cronkite News

The Senate gave overwhelming approval last week to a multibillion-dollar coronavirus relief bill, the second such bill in two weeks, and immediately turned its attention to a third bill that could have a $2 trillion price tag. Both Arizona senators voted for the bill that passed 90-8 after the House agreed to weaken language that would have forced small businesses to provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave to workers grappling with COVID-19. The bill, which President Donald Trump signed Wednesday, March 18, would let the labor secretary exempt businesses with fewer than 50 workers from the paid leave requirement, in the face of a labor shortage. That was not enough for the leader of a small-business group in Arizona, who has said the financial burden could drive small firms into bankruptcy, and noted that the law does not force the same leave requirements on big businesses. But supporters said the bill, which also mandates free testing for the coronavirus and expands access to nutrition programs for the low-income and elderly, is sorely needed. “It increases our emergency food programs nationally and gives us some additional flexibilities for how we distribute food at food banks— which is fantastic,” said Angie Rodgers, president and CEO of the Arizona Food Bank Network, which has seen a spike in demand in recent days. Rodgers said Arizona food banks and emergency response teams have done “an amazing job with the resources that we have to be able to meet the need,” but this bill will help them serve students who are not fed because of school closures and workers on the edge of poverty who may be laid off. Approval of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act came less than two weeks after passage of a first COVID-19 emergency bill, which directed $8.3 billion to fund research and support federal and state response efforts, among other elements.

Congress passed, and the president signed, the second multibillion-dollar coronavirus relief bill in as many weeks on March 18. Lawmakers and the administration now say they need a stimulus package of up to $1 trillion to offset economic harm from COVID-19. (Photo courtesy Cronkite News)

But administration and congressional leaders agreed that those two bills are not enough to offset the virus’ impact on the economy and were already working on economic stimulus packages, ranging from $750 billion to $1 trillion. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., told senators, who were supposed to be on recess this week, they would stay in Washington until a stimulus bill is passed. “These are not ordinary times,” McConnell said. “This is not an ordinary situation, and so it requires extraordinary measures.” The Trump administration is floating a $1 trillion package that would include $300 billion to help small businesses, $200 billion to support “distressed sectors of the economy”—$50 billion of which would be for airlines—and $500 billion for direct $1,000 payments to taxpayers as early as next month. Senate Democrats are pushing a $750 billion plan directed more toward unemployment and foreclosure relief programs. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said it “may not be enough,” but that the “needs are immediate and strong and our package addresses them.” Celine McNicholas, director of government affairs at the Economic Policy Institute, said neither proposal addresses the realities workers are facing.

“We think $1,000 is not sufficient to cover the kind of pain people are going to be experiencing,” said McNicholas, who said the payments should be twice that amount. “You can’t just sort of do this once. We have to have a structure in place such that if the economy doesn’t rebound, additional relief is provided directly to households.” One-fourth of private industry workers in the Southwest do not have paid sick leave, according to a 2019 U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics economic report. In the face of such numbers, McNicholas said the paid leave language in the bill passed March 18 is needed. But she agreed with critics who note that the requirement only applies to businesses with 500 employees or fewer, leaving the biggest companies to set their own rules. “It’s just unconscionable to me that you would exempt large employers, again who are most equipped to be able to provide those kinds of benefits to their workers,” McNicholas said. Chad Heinrich, Arizona state director of the National Federation of Independent Business, said he is still opposed to the bill, despite the recent changes, since its “mandates on small business have not been removed.” NFIB President Brad Close said in a statement March 18 that his members “are telling us, in droves, that the additional mandates in this bill could be a devastating blow they cannot afford

to shoulder. “Small business owners need relief now, and we look forward to continuing to work with Congress and the administration in this next phase to find a workable solution moving forward,” Close said in the statement. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Arizona, said in a statement earlier in the week that the Senate’s “actions now can save lives …. We will get through this together—let’s be proactive and make this difficult time as short as possible.” Sen. Martha McSally, R-Arizona, said in a Fox News interview that the government needed to move fast to put money in the hands of “those who are being impacted—hourly workers, waitresses, small-business owners.” The vote comes as the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the United States rose to 7,038, with all 50 states recording a positive case, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Arizona health officials had recorded 27 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in five counties, as of March 18. Businesses have been forced to close or cut back services in cities like Phoenix, Tucson and Flagstaff, where officials have declared states of emergency. Gov. Doug Ducey and Superintendent Kathy Hoffman ordered state schools closed through April 10, after first setting a March 27 return date. Rodgers met March 18 with St. Mary’s Food Bank in the Valley, which said traffic at its night center doubled the previous day, from the normal 400 or 500 visitors to around 1,100 people. “I do think that this crisis underscores the need to continually think about the most vulnerable among us and how we are responding to them,” Rodgers said. “I think the safety net has been long underfunded and framed that being able to ramp up our distributions, being able to respond to a crisis like this, takes all hands on deck. “I think it underscores that charity alone cannot do what we can expect from a larger partnership and a larger response to a crisis like COVID-19,” she said.

Arizona zip codes turn up silver for residents

Sealed Vault Bags full of heavy silver bars are actually being handed over to the first Arizona residents who find their zip code listed in today’s publication and call before the 48 hour order deadline ends to claim the bags full of valuable silver NATIONWIDE – Operators at the National Silver Hotline are struggling to keep up with all the calls. That’s because Silver Vault Bags loaded with a small fortune of .999 pure Silver Bars are now being handed over to everyone who beats the 2-day order deadline. “It’s like a modern day Gold Rush. Arizona residents will be hoarding all the silver bars they can get their hands on for the next 2 days. This comes as no surprise after the standard State Minimum set by the Federated Mint dropped 42%, going from $50 per bar to just $29 making these Silver Vault Bags a real steal,” said Mary Ellen Withrow, the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America. “As executive advisor to the private Federated Mint, I get paid to deliver breaking news. And here’s the best part. This is great news for Arizona residents because it’s the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint,” said Withrow. The only thing residents need to do is find the first 3 digits of their zip code on the Distribution List printed in today’s publication. If their zip code is on the list, they need to immediately call the National Silver Hotline before the 2-day order deadline ends. Residents who do are cashing in on the record low State Minimum set by the Federated Mint. This is a real steal for residents because each Silver Vault Bag loaded with 10 Arizona State Silver Bars is normally set at $500 which is the standard $50 per heavy half ounce bar State Minimum set by the Federated Mint.

are expected to be f looded by Arizona residents looking to cash in on the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint to date. That’s why area residents who find their zip code on the distribution list today are being urged to call immediately. Since this special advertising announcement can’t stop dealers and collectors from hoarding all the new 2020 Edition Arizona State Silver Bars they can get their hands on, the Federated Mint had to set a strict limit of three Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bags per resident – these are the bags everyone’s trying to get because they contain 10 individual Silver Vault Bags each. Everyone who gets these will feel like they just hit the jackpot. “ R e sident s who wa nt t o cash in on the lowest ever State Minimum set by the private Federated Mint better hurry. That’s because in 2 days, the State Minimum for these heav y half ounce Arizona State Silver Bars retur ns to the nor ma l State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of $50 per bar,” Withrow said. “We’re bracing for all the calls and doing the best we can, but with just hours left before the deadline ends, residents lucky enough to f ind the first 3 digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication need to immediately call the National Silver Hotline," Withrow said. ■

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you find your zip code on the distribution list printed in today’s publication read below then immediately call: 1-866-874-7770 EXT. FMM3046 I keep calling and can’t get through: Keep trying. Right now everyone’s looking to cash in on the lowest State Minimum ever set by the Federated Mint. In fact, tens of thousands of residents are expected to order up as many Silver Vault Bags as they can get their hands on before the deadline ends. That’s because the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint has been slashed from $50 per heavy half ounce to just $29 for the next 2 days. And since each Silver Vault Bag contains 10 valuable State Silver Bars for just $290 nearly everyone is taking at least three bags before they’re all gone. But all those who really want to cash in are taking the Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bags containing 100 State Silver Bars before the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint goes back up to $500 per Vault Bag. So if lines are busy keep trying. How much are the Silver Vault Bags worth: It’s hard to tell how much these Silver Vault Bags could be worth since they are highly collectible, but those who get in on this now will be the really smart ones. That’s because the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint goes back up to $500 per bag after the deadline ends. So you better believe that at just $290 the Silver Vault bags are a real steal for everyone who beats the deadline. Can I buy one State Silver Bar: Yes. But, the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of just $29 per bar applies only to residents who purchase a Silver Vault Bag(s). That means only those residents who order a Silver Vault Bag(s) or the heavy, Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bag(s) get the $29 per bar State Minimum set by the Federated Mint. All single bar purchases, orders placed after the 2-day deadline and all non-state residents must pay the standard $50 per heavy half ounce Bar State Minimum set by the Federated Mint. Why is the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint so low now: Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to get the silver at the lowest ever State Minimum set by the private Federated Mint. Now all residents who find the first 3 digits of their zip code on the Distribution List printed in today’s publication are getting the Silver Vault Bags for themselves and all the solid .999 pure State Silver Bars found inside. The price for each Silver Vault Bag is normally set at $500 which is the standard $50 per bar State Minimum set by the Federated Mint, but residents who beat the 2-day deadline only cover the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of just $290 for each State Silver Vault Bag which is just $29 per bar as long as they call the National Silver Hotline before the deadline ends at: 1-866-874-7770 EXT.

And like the men and women we never see – the farm workers, factory laborers, warehousemen and truck drivers who make up what the pundits on TV suddenly like to opine about as “the American supply chain.” Thank you, each of you, for what you do. If we never thought about you much before, that was partly from ignorance, but also because you’re so good at your jobs, we’ve been able to take you for granted. Maybe that’s the rare bright spot created by crisis: In being forced to look at life anew, we see what before we neglected. So, thank you. The same goes for health care workers, from the maintenance staff mopping floors and sanitizing surfaces to the nurses and doctors and support staff working around the clock to find enough beds for the virus-laden and our other sick neighbors besides. The public health system in Arizona

and nationally may prove inadequate to handle COVID-19, but that failure will not come because the humans who work within the system demonstrated lack of effort. Just like firefighters facing down a fully engulfed building, right now there are medical professionals who may lack the proper protective gear and all the necessary supplies, but who are prepared to risk their lives to save yours regardless. If that isn’t bravery, then I have no idea what is. Somewhere right now, letters and parcels are on the move. Airline employees are disinfecting a jetliner to fly a few hundred people to comfort sick family members or reunite with anxious loved ones. An hourly worker, fretting about layoffs, is leaning out the drive-through window to pass along coffee, donuts or lunch. Typically, these transactions are throwaway moments in a busy day.

These are different times, though. And maybe they won’t be bad in every possible way.

Maybe we will see with new eyes and a new sense of respect the dignity and courage of those who before we never bothered to notice.

Acts of kindness are especially appreciated in these challenging times … Those who opened a business in the last few months might be wondering, “What was I thinking?!” Imagine the Walters family. A few months ago, Jeff, Kelly, Zack and Nick opened not one but two Jimmy John’s franchises in Glendale, at 7708 W. Bell Road and 18589 N. 59th Avenue. “We have had our ups and downs,” said Jeff Walters. “Nothing could have prepared us or our employees for the times we are currently facing. “We consider our employees an extension of our family and it troubles us when they are struggling. Like many other small businesses, we have had to scale back on employee shifts and hours. We have asked for relief from the bank that services our small business loan as well as our landlord in order for us to survive during these difﬁcult times. My sons and wife are working for no salary so we can make it through.” When a man came in and ordered three sandwiches at the 59th Avenue location, that was nice. But, wait, there was more — plenty more: “Before he exited our restaurant, he left a $125 tip for the workers to help them in their time of need,” Walters said. “It is those acts of kindness that make me proud to be in this community especially when the news cycle of the day is primarily negative ranging from the virus to people hoarding supplies. “We will all get through this if we band together and help each other out in times of need.” The tough times for restaurants went to another level last weekend.

Mountain Ridge High baseball team, others in ‘pause’ mode BY ERIC NEWMAN

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Just before high school sports were suspended indefinitely, Mountain Ridge baseball was one of the last high school teams competing in Arizona. The Mountain Lions played at the Boras Baseball Classic at Corona del Sol High School on March 14. Many schools had already stopped competition due to COVID-19, while other games and events were simply postponed due to the days of rain. Two days before the AIA suspended the regular season at a March 16 meeting, the Mountain Lions were locked in a heated weekend battle on the final day of the tournament. They went into the final inning down 2-1 to Copper Hills High of Utah. Then, senior Brock Arnold knocked in two runs with a hit into left field to take a 3-2 lead.

He smiled, standing on the base as he watched his teammates celebrate in the dugout. The moment was another happy memory these Mountain Lions have created in their baseball careers. “We’re having so much fun together, I mean, so many of us have been playing together for years,” Arnold said.

Of the 19 players on the roster, 12 are seniors that have seen the program reach the state playoff final in 2018 and take a sub.500 team to the semifinal last season. Several of them have played baseball – even T-ball for a few – with and against each other since they were in grade school. They have grown into a talented team with several garnering college baseball offers. “We’ve been waiting for this class. Even last year, we knew these guys would all come up together and use

that experience of playing together,” said coach Artie Cox. “So yeah, they’ve been so special.” The whole Mountain Lion squad cheered as senior pitcher Brock Peery closed a victory. Peery signed to play ball at Arizona State University. At least for a few hours on a warm, sunny day in Tempe, the focus was not on the virus, nor its impacts on school closures and the baseball season. In a postgame huddle, Cox provided instruction to players on how to improve on fielding, hitting and baserunning errors that almost cost Mountain Ridge the game. The team talked about how it could compete for a state championship if the tournament is still on. Mostly, things seemed normal for just a moment. “If we can clean those things up, we should be able to make another nice run, we’re hoping,” Cox said.

AIA hopeful about resuming spring sports and championships

BY TRAVIS WHITTAKER Cronkite News

The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted sporting events over the world, but the Arizona Interscholastic Association provided a hint of normalcy Monday, March 16. The AIA Board announced that it still hopes to resume spring sports at some point soon, including holding the championships. Gov. Doug Ducey and Arizona Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman announced March 15 the closure of all Arizona schools through March 27, then extended that by another two weeks. Official competition is suspended, but the AIA has left it to the discretion of the schools and districts if teams wish to practice at a later date. The first step is getting student-athletes back in the classroom. David Hines, the AIA’s executive di-

rector, said he is monitoring all of the changes, announcements and recommendations around the clock. “We are going to look at that more hourly than daily,” Hines said. “Things are changing so fast. We’re going to pay attention to what the medical professionals, the state health department and the governor’s office (say). “We need to let the professionals give us information and follow the decree of the governor,” Hines said. “We will let the experts tell us, ‘Hey we made progress and you can go back or not. We are going to have to continue this on.’ “It’s just such an unknown. The board really wanted to give the kids an option if we were able to go back to school.” The AIA also said it would support a school’s district decision to extend the two-week stoppage if an individual dis-

trict felt that extension was warranted. In Arizona, several schools played baseball games March 13. There was an invitational tournament at Warren Ballpark in Bisbee on Saturday, March 14, in which Tombstone High School played a doubleheader against Benson and San Manuel high schools. Since then, all contests have been canceled. “We could extend the season but we would not make that determination without a lot of communication between our schools and membership,” Hines said. “Any contest completed before today would be included in our power rankings.” Looking ahead to fall sports, football would normally hold spring practices at this time of year, but those practices fall under the same guidelines. “Our protocol is going to pretty

much be the same,” Hines said. “If we can get back to school then we will continue with doing what we are doing. If they get to the point where they say there is no school then all activities will conclude, including spring practice.” The AIA planned to meet with the conference chairs this week to discuss potential protocols and a course of action when they are able to return. “We have to have a plan in place if we are going to move forward,” Hines said. “We are educational athletics and there are times where things go our way and we are really glad for that, and sometimes there’s things that don’t go our way. We have to be able to learn from those times and make the best out of it that we can. “We are going to do whatever we can to help those kids.”

No ‘Play ball!’: Empty parks, deep cleaning BY GRIFFIN FABITS Cronkite News

With Spring Training suspended and the start of the season postponed, the Arizona Diamondbacks are trying to adapt to a new normal. Instead of players working out in batting cages, employees are cleaning them. Instead of administering tests for speed and agility, the team had to administer a test to a minor-leaguer for COVID-19. It came back negative. Major League Baseball announced March 12 that it would be suspending Spring Training and delaying the start of the 2020 season by at least two weeks “due to the national emergency created by the coronavirus pandemic.” A few days later, the league said the start would be delayed even more so it could follow recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention restricting events of more than 50 people for the next eight weeks, Mike Hazen, the Arizona Diamondbacks general manager, said the club’s spring facility will remain open on an “optional basis,” but no formal workouts will be held until clearance comes from MLB. Hazen, who spoke with reporters via conference call, said players have been encouraged to go home. “We’re obviously taking every precaution as necessary and with guidance to ensure the cleanliness and standard of the facility, to make sure it’s still a safe environment for every-

body,” he said. Hazen said the organization tested one player for COVID-19, out of “an abundance of caution.” The player, a minor-leaguer, was tested, with a negative result. No other players have experienced symptoms or have been tested for coronavirus. “If they show signs and symptoms,” we’re following the guidance of our medical professionals and what they advise us to do. We have advised our players to report any symptoms to us moving forward,” Hazen said. The Diamondbacks facility was shut down entirely for a weekend as it underwent a “deep-clean,” Hazen said. He said he expects this to become regular practice over the next few weeks. While no formal workouts will be

held, players and staff are expected to continue to use the facility to stay in shape, since most players live in Arizona. “We haven’t really tackled how exactly we’re going to staff anything,” Hazen said. “We gave the staff the same method that we gave the players: we would encourage them to be here. If they don’t feel comfortable being here, then we respect that. We don’t foresee any reason why they should be.” Hazen, who will stick around the spring facility, said he expects manager Torey Lovullo to be “in and out” of the complex during this time. “But again, depending on how many players are here, if we need to have supervised workouts, people throw-

ing, doing soft-toss, hitting ground balls, whatever that may be, we want to make sure we have enough supervision. But if that number is smaller, we’ll staff it accordingly.” The organization has largely taken scouts off of the road. It has eliminated air travel and has advised “regional scouting via auto if people were comfortable doing it,” Hazen said. But, if there is no baseball to be seen anywhere, there is no need for scouts to be on the road. While players have been advised to go home, Hazen said minor league players have been “given the same guidance that we gave the other (players),” citing the lack of workouts at this point in the spring. “We are cognizant of guys who may have trouble traveling — certain players. We’re not going to encourage them to do that.” Regarding paying minor leagues during the suspension, Hazen said he “hasn’t been given guidance on that.” When baseball does return, teams must decide how long players will need to get in game-shape. Hazen said the main focus right now is on the safety and health of his players and their families. “We’re all adjusting to this the same way you guys have a lot of questions,” Hazen said. “Trying to foreshadow a little bit, but wanting to make sure we’re operating within the guidelines of Major League Baseball and the government.”

D-backs, MLB provide $1M for ballpark staff BY CARSON FIELD Cronkite News

These are stressful times for those in sports, those who follow sports and those who make their livelihood through the games others play. With cancellations and postponements of countless high-profile events, the coronavirus outbreak has left a stain of uncertainty on the sporting world. Now some of Major League Baseball’s most valued workers can rest a little easier. MLB announced last week that each of baseball’s 30 clubs will donate $1 million apiece to assist ballpark employees affected by the ongoing delay. “I am proud that our clubs came together so quickly and uniformly to support these individuals who provide so much to the game we love,” said Commissioner Rob Manfred in a statement released by MLB. From concession workers to 5050 raffle attendants and everyone in between, gameday employees make attending a ballgame special for fans. The Arizona Diamondbacks, with the 29 other clubs, are doing their part to give back.

“There are personal relationships that exist between our gameday staff and all of us who work at the D-backs, and it is important that they know we are here for them,” said Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hall. “When baseball returns, so will these faces that our fans have come to know and love, as these are the people who are responsible for the incredible fan experience at Chase Field.”

Despite baseball’s competitive nature, executives across the league came together to provide funds for workers. It is one of many things Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo treasures about a “child’s game.” “It speaks volumes that, even though we’re all adversaries and we all compete between the white lines, when something like this pops up, we rally around one another,” Lovullo said. “And it’s a great sport, and a

way for us to come together and support everyone who’s affected by this. “It’s not just the baseball players. It’s a lot of people that make the day work, day-by-day that have been affected by this. It’s a pretty loud statement that Major League Baseball made by showing that type of support.” They don’t often get any spotlight from the public. There aren’t posters of them hanging from the rafters at Chase Field. And they’ll never score the winning run or come in for the save. But this doesn’t make the gameday employees any less important to the Diamondbacks organization and management. “Our gameday staff is part of our family and we want to make sure that we take care of them and support them during these challenging economic times,” said Ken Kendrick, managing general partner of the Diamondbacks. “When times are tough, that is when organizations like ours need to step up and I’m proud of all 30 teams who are motivated by a desire to help others in our baseball community.”

Former Ironwood basketball coach hired at OUAZ BY ERIC NEWMAN

Michael Dominguez, 23, was hired as associate head basketball coach at OUAZ in Surprise.

Glendale Star Staff Writer

At 23, Michael Dominguez will not be a lot older than most of the girls he is mentoring in his new job as associate head coach – joining coach Stephen Moss – of Ottawa University Arizona’s women’s basketball team. “It’s really cool when I retire years from now I can tell my kids and my grandkids I was a coach at this young (age). But it’s not something I’m satisfied with. I have big aspirations,” Dominguez said. While he will put his entire coaching focus on this role, Dominguez said his ultimate goal is to become an NCAA Division 1 coach. Transitioning to OUAZ from his former job as an assistant for the South Mountain Communi-

ty College women’s team, he feels like this is a step closer. “I felt like I needed to get on a four-

year staff and take on a bigger role,” he said. “I had the opportunity to move up after just a year of (junior college), so I couldn’t pass it up.” Dominguez said a lot of his peers in the coaching community have supported him on his career path. One of them was former boss Jordan Augustine. Augustine, coach of the Ironwood High 2020 5A state champion boys’ basketball team, could sense Dominguez’s desire when he hired him as a varsity assistant for the 2018-19 season. Augustine remembers an even-younger Dominguez living in Tucson at the time, sending him an email asking about an open coaching job, and eventually securing it.

“It impressed me a college student living in Tucson at the time drove all the way here to meet me face-to-face to talk about the job,” Augustine said. “You could see how much effort he put into coaching, and his willingness to do all the little things that need to be done to be successful.” With the hiring process behind him now, the new Spirit coach aims to help develop the team into a contender in the NAIA. OUAZ finished its 2019-20 season on Feb. 29 with a 12-14 record. Dominguez said there are several talented players returning to the squad in the next season. “We’re back on the court next week with the returners,” he said. “I am excited to get started.”

Online library resources available during closures BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Glendale Star Staff Writer

The Glendale library system continues to offer online resources for patrons to enjoy from their homes. The city of Glendale closed all city libraries, indoor parks and recreation centers as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The closure took effect Tuesday, March 17, and includes the Glendale Main Library, Heroes Regional Park Library, Velma Teague Library and Foothills Library. Library programs and classes were canceled as well. Residents can access the library’s online resources at glendaleazlibrary. com. Michael Beck, chief librarian, said the libraries employ 80 people throughout the four locations. The physical libraries are still offering patron services on some level. People are still able to call with questions. However, he encourag-

es patrons to visit the website, “which is completely interactive,” Beck said. “It’s 24/7 and they can access their account, they can renew items, they can place items on hold, and they can access our online resources.” Kathy Curley, an administrative librarian, said a variety of services are available online. The Hoopla resource offers mem-

bers eBooks, audiobooks, music, movies and graphic novels. More than one person can access the content provided by Hoopla at a time, Curley said, and patrons can normally check out five titles per month and 10 through the end of March. For those who have kids at home, Curley said Tumblebooks is a good resource. It includes content for children

of various ages. “We really like it because it includes animated picture books, read-along, graphic novels, and it is geared to kids from preschool to the teen years,” Curley said. “It’s all streaming, you don’t have to download or have an app.” In addition, Brainfuse is an online tutoring site for all grades and areas, and is available at specified times of the day, Curley said. It also includes a writing lab, a language lab, virtual meeting and collaborating capabilities, diagnostic testing and college and career guidance. Beck said the library will remain closed until further notice, but he is extending due dates. “I’m happy to say that we have done a global extension of due dates until April 1,” Beck said. “We will revisit (due dates) depending on the length of time and directions the library receives.”

Hospitals could be overwhelmed by COVID-19 cases BY CHRISTOPHER SCRAGG Cronkite News

A surge in coronavirus patients could overwhelm Arizona hospitals in the coming months if action is not taken now to expand hospital capacity and curb infections, according to a new study by the Harvard Global Health Institute. And the state is not alone. The study, published March 17 with ProPublica and the New York Times, says American hospitals face a “daunting” future that other parts of the world have seen, said one of the report’s authors. “Without seeing the numbers, the risk seems theoretical,” said Thomas Tsai, a surgeon and one of the project leads at Harvard. “But looking at the numbers it really breaks through the

“It’s something that we need to take with caution because if you look at their modeling, the way they did the numbers, it’s based on assumptions that may or may not happen,” A new report says the number of hospital beds typically available in Arizona could be quickly overwhelmed by a surge in COVID-19 cases, a said Holly Ward, a problem mirrored in most states. Arizona ofﬁcials say they are working spokeswoman for the to prepare for the problem, but say the report paints an unusually pessi- Arizona Hospital and mistic picture.

But they ral regions” in the country. It compared also warned that the numbers in the re- that to the number of patients that port “paint a worst-case scenario” and could be expected to flood hospitals worry it will cause more alarm than under nine different scenarios: When necessary. 20%, 40% or 60% of adults were in-

fected with the coronavirus over a span of six, 12 or 18 months. In most of the scenarios, the report said, “the sheer number of patients at risk for COVID-19 may overwhelm the system if preparations are not taken.” Arizona has four such regions, the largest being Phoenix and Tucson, which respectively have 2,567 hospital beds and 1,184 beds available on average. The two smallest, Mesa and Sun City, average 648 and 364 unoccupied beds. In all but the most-mild scenarios, capacity in each of Arizona’s four regions was quickly reached or exceeded. In more dire predictions, hospitals would end up with just a fraction of the beds needed to treat the influx of paSEE HOSPITALS PAGE 25

tients. If, for example, 40% of the population got sick over six months, the Mesa-Chandler region would need to increase its capacity by 971%, the report said. The Phoenix region – which stretches to include Flagstaff and Yuma – would need to increase its beds by 598%. Mark Coleman, a registered nurse in Phoenix, said as coronavirus patients begin to increase, he fears shortages of beds and other supplies will lead Arizona to experience issues similar to what New York is facing. “They are quickly running out of ventilators and attaching multiple people to a single ventilator,” he said of New York hospitals. “We could probably look forward to that in the near future when there is a surge.” But state hospitals said they are actively planning for the oncoming waves of cases and working with local and state governments to prepare. “Hospitals prepare every day, every month, every year for emergency preparedness,” Ward said. “This is not new to Arizona hospitals.” Daniel Derksen, a University of Arizona professor of public health, agreed with Ward that the numbers in the report need to be considered carefully, pointing to the many unknowns with COVID-19, partially due to the lack of testing and slow results in the U.S. He said in an email that studies like Harvard’s “can paint a worst-case scenario that alarms a lay public.” “Until we get the testing kits more widely available and the more rapid turnaround of those results it’s hard to really comment on how reflective this would be in the near or longer term for our state or for our country,” Derksen said in a telephone interview. “The math can get pretty complicated and the further you get down into the subsets on a set of assumptions I think the less certain you can be.” Tsai recognizes that his study paints an extreme scenario, but said it’s important information for doctors and decision makers to understand the gravity of the pandemic. “I think there’s still room for optimism, and the goal of putting our data out into the public sphere is to not incite panic but to instill collective ac-

tion,” Tsai said. Derksen agreed that whether the report reflects “reality or not, I think in a pandemic it’s always better to prepare for the worst-case scenario.” Experts agree that the best strategy to prepare for the pandemic is twofold. The first strategy is to slow down the rate of infections through practices like social distancing and hand-washing to “flatten the curve” in the growth of confirmed cases. The second is to increase hospital capacity. But Tsai said you can’t do one strategy without the other. “The importance of the ‘flatten the curve’ concept is that it basically buys time for the second approach, which is, hospitals increase the capacity of their hospital beds,” Tsai said. That’s easier said than done, Coleman said. “There’s a lot of regulation infrastructure behind opening up a hospital room,” he said. “I wish it were as simple as slapping a cot on the floor.” Despite the obstacles, Coleman said he was optimistic that with the government assistance, hospitals and healthcare workers would be ready to meet the challenge. “We have to be, there’s not another choice right now,” he said.

Feds offer incentive to find homes for horses, burros BY MADISON STATEN Cronkite News

Thousands of wild horses and burros roam across millions of acres of public land in 10 Western states, including Arizona. The Bureau of Land Management, which manages these herds, estimated last year there are 88,000 animals – more than three times as many as there should be. The bureau says the number of wild horses and burros exceeds the “appropriate management level” and leads to depleted grass and water resources, “threatening the overall health of the public range- Arizona had an estimated 530 wild horses last year, while states like Nelands and degrad- vada had thousands.

tion in search of a burro to be a friend to a retired rope horse. “It was excellent,” Temple said of the adoption process. “You know, we came through, we looked around, we looked at all the animals, and we found the staff helped us provide which ones were real docile.” Temple’s excitement over Arizona burros is somewhat unusual. Hall said the general public often overlooks burros in favor of wild horses. “People call this the horse program – it’s not just horses,” Hall said. “We have a lot of burros in Arizona. We have a lot of burros in California. They create the same nuisance issues that we see with horses. They also do the same damage to the range that horses can do.” In 2019, the BLM reported more than 6,900 burros and about 530 wild horses in Arizona. “The BLM has been criticized from both angles, from the cattle growers to the horse advocates,” said Julie Murphree, who’s doing her doctoral research on wild horses at Arizona State University’s School of Sustainability. “One of the concerns I have with adopting the horses out is if the public is ready for this. It’s difficult to follow up, to see how they are doing once they are adopted.” She’s not the only one who’s concerned. William Perry Pendley, the act-

ing director for the BLM, has called the wild horse and burro issue one of the biggest challenges facing the agency. “We have 88,000 wild horses and burros on our Western federal lands,” Pendley said. “We’ve increased our adoption program to get people to adopt these wild animals – that’s not going to solve this problem. It’s a tens of millions of dollars problem. But the bigger problem, for me, is the existential threat to the quality of these lands.” In Arizona, some of the horses that are adopted already have been trained through a program with the Arizona Department of Corrections. The goal is to help reduce the population so overgrazing doesn’t happen. Brandon Grede is one of the Arizona inmates who works at Hall’s facility to train horses for adoption. “They come in wild and don’t want anything to do with you and will pretty much do anything to get away from you,” Grede said. But when the animals are ready to be adopted, “I mean, you can pretty much walk around without a lead rope and they’ll just follow you like a lost puppy.” Grede acknowledges it’s a bittersweet training process. “You’re sad to see them go, but you’re happy because you know that they’re being spoiled and someone’s going to love them as much as you did,” he said.

Delph: When ‘It is what it is’ isn’t what it is Most of you have heard of the expression, “It is what it is.” Usually, people use this expression when they feel they are working with an impossible situation they have no control over. They feel resigned to the fact that the situation will never change. Fair enough. Some things are that way. Here’s an example of what I mean. Coffins in the Victorian period came equipped with an extensive system of the bell. There was a rope in the deceased person’s hand that went up out of the coffin, above the ground, and to the top of the gravestone upon which a bell was attached. This was just in case the person woke up while in the coffin. Gravediggers were sometimes paid to keep watch over the graves to hear the bell go off. This is where the term, “Saved by the bell” came from. In other words, the future deceased person didn’t want to accept, “It is what it is.” They were thinking, “It is what it is, or is it?” They had the hope they could be saved by the bell. Nice try, but as far as this life on earth, “It is what it is.” There are other cases where “It is what it is” is not true at all. In the 1400s, there were maps of the world showing the known world of that time. When the map got to the end of what was known,

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Columnist

the cartographers of that time suggested the possibility of dragons. These dragon drawings implied “Beyond this, there be dragons.” In other words, “It is what it is...this is the end...Zombie apocalypse!” But there were some explorers who began to think, “It is what it is, or is it?” History shows it was not the end of the world, it was the rest of the world. The world was bigger than they thought and better than they thought. They grew beyond the invisible borders of their fear, their panic and their personal and societal limitations. My point here concerning the current, world-wide, coronavirus crisis is this: Is this all there, is or is it? Will coronavirus rule the world forever? Am I doomed to waiting in long lines for toilet paper forever? Will I be afraid of ﬂying and other people forever? Will the stock market ever recover? Will we continue to suffer from the deep and steep partisan divides in the United States and the world

we have been suffering from forever? Are these the new normal forever? A great percentage of us are thinking, “Of course not.” What’s the problem? May I say, even though many of us don’t believe the paragraph above, many of us are living as we do believe it. We’ve traded our plan of attack for a panic attack, sanity for insanity. Fear has taken us to “It is what it is.” This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use wisdom, conservation and some social distancing when possible. But please don’t allow panic to transport you to self-preservation. Believe me, sometime soon, you will have toilet paper. We know the “It is what it is.” Now let’s explore the “or is it?” Let’s explore some possibilities and make them probabilities. Let’s get some much-needed perspective that can free us from the worship of fear. Let’s get beyond “Beyond this, there be dragons.” First, coronavirus is a threat and will affect the world, no question, probably for the short term. But prayer is going up all over the world, hopefully for the long term. Smart, concerned, quality people are working on containing it, maybe even eliminating it. People are getting smarter on hygiene which has been needed for a while now. Flying will soon be as safe hygienically as it is delivering passengers safely. We’ve met challenges like SARS, swine ﬂu, bird ﬂu, Ebola and Zika, and we probably will now. We may not eliminate these, but we know how to avoid these. Second, don’t let this crisis take you to the dark side. As they say, there’s no problem until there’s a problem. We have been spoiled for so long that we don’t know how to respond when we don’t instantly get our way, or we have our freedoms limited. Freedom should not make us “free to be dumb.” Can you believe the hoarding and plundering of food, toilet paper and the like? It’s revealing where people really are: Me, myself and I. You’re better than that.

Third, don’t make major decisions on incomplete or unreliable data. Data is still coming in. Don’t freak out. I love Italy and China, but we are not Italy or China. Our situation is different. Pray for them! James Clear says, “In a world where information is abundant and easy to access, the real advantage is knowing where to focus. When the world seems uncontrollable, focus on what you can control. Return to your habits.” Last, allow this crisis to transport you to your good side. Positive signs are everywhere. Despite all the Facebook negative videos, people are starting to be courteous to one another. Recently, someone left a $1,000 tip to the employees of a restaurant. Even the United States’ deeply divided legislatures are beginning to work together for the benefit of the country with the president. That’s a change. Think about it. In my opinion, as a society, we were headed the wrong way. Selfishness, greed, power, present mindedness, political motivation, disdain of others, interest-group bubbles and the like. Maybe amid this, God is trying to return us back to our future. Maybe the fear we’ve been feeling points to the God we’ve been missing. Maybe God is saying, “I love you more than you currently understand. I’m not paying you back, I’m bringing you back.” The greatest tragedy of this tragedy would be to learn nothing, go nowhere, paralyzed by fear. In other words, the greatest tragedy of this tragedy would be not to grow from the tragedy. We would be like those people in the Victorian period inside of their coffin waiting to be saved by the bell. By the way, the bell won’t save you, but Jesus will. Just saying!

How to keep kids positively active and creatively challenged at home BY PAULA HOGENMILLER

Glendale Star Contributing Writer

Finding creative ways to engage young children at home while you are also busy managing all you need to do in this ever- changing time is a challenge. But there are many resources to help. Babble Dabble has many art and science activities you can do at home using common household items. Visit babbledabbledo.com. Breaking up the day with fun movement as well as mindfulness activities for children can be enhanced by using GoNoodle. Visit family.gonoodle.com. Many publishers are making their resources available to families through links such as classroommagazines. scholastic.com/support/learnathome. html.

Online sites offer a variety of activity ideas to help keep kids creatively active at home. (Photo courtesy Scholastic.com)

Young children are naturally interested in new challenges. Here are a few ways to get their brains (and feet) going around the house: “Hide” playing cards — if you don’t have a deck of cards, use index cards, post it notes, or small paper — around the house and see if your child can find the one that has the number that: • Matches the child’s age. • Matches how many pets you have. • Matches how many people are home. • Matches how many plants are in the house (or the number of plants they can see from a window). • Matches how many boxes of cereal (crackers, pasta) do we have? For children more advanced in mathematical thinking, give them a problem to solve where they have to find the card that answers that problem such as: • How many cookies would you have if I gave you three and then two more? • How many chairs are in the kitchen and the dining room? • If I take away two chairs how many would we have then? • We have five bananas and we are going to eat two for lunch. How many are left?

Every time they make a discovery, you can create another. The kids can join in the fun and be inspired to help to come up with more problems to solve. An alphabet variation is to post letters around their environment and ask them to ﬁnd the letter that a word for a familiar object starts with, such as leg, fork, apple, puzzle, can, game, door. It is best to avoid blends at the beginning of words such as “stairs,” because it can be hard to hear the ﬁrst sound. Have your child write stories using pictures and as many letters/words as your child knows. This is a great way to build on natural creativity and enhance letter-sound association and spelling. You can provide story starters such as, “What if an air balloon landed in our yard?” Or they can write about their favorite animal, game or activity. Encourage kindergarten-aged students and older to write phonetically. For example, if they want you to spell “park,” ask them to write the sounds they hear. They may write “pk,” which represents the word at their stage of development. Preschool students typically use only pictures and dictate their stories to you. Drawing and writing about observations in your yard really helps children to focus on details. How many birds do

they see? Are any plants growing ﬂowers? Do they hear any dogs barking? Are any insects moving around? Clipboards are a big hit! If you don’t have one, use a tablet or book with paper attached with a clip or tape. Children can take “do you like” surveys by asking anyone at home, or available by phone/text/email to answer important yes/no questions such as “Do you like bananas?” Create a simple survey response by writing the headings “yes” and “no” at the top and a line down the middle. Your child can then record a tally mark for each response. If they know how to spell names, they can write the names instead of tally marks. You can also have a readymade list of people’s names for them to copy from as they complete their surveys. They can then announce the results of the survey to all participants! Young children are happy to include stuffed animals and pets as respondents.
