Faculty issues no-confidence vote for chancellor

BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

The Maricopa County Community College Faculty Association issued a no-confidence vote for Chancellor Maria Harper-Marinick April 3 after she eliminated an employee bargaining option as well as football. Enrollment is declining, too.

Harper-Marinick hasn’t responded to the faculty association or its president John Schampel, which he finds “confusing.”

“We have had chronic failures of district employees not getting paid that have been going on for over a year and a half and we are still dealing with the aftermath of that, along with other issues,” Schampel said.

Schampel said one college voting in favor of a VNC is a strong statement about the chancellor’s leadership. The no-confidence vote was approved by the senate colleagues of Glendale, Estrella Mountain, Gateway, Mesa, Paradise Valley, Scottsdale and South Mountain community colleges, as well as Phoenix and Rio Salado colleges.

“Chancellor Harper-Marinick appears unwilling or unable to accept any responsibility whatsoever for her own actions and what has happened on her watch,” Schampel said.

Even Harper-Marinick said her daughter encountered website issues when she tried to enroll.

Lawmakers looking to consolidate school districts

“Here it is, over three years later, and we still have issues where students could not see their schedules or enroll in classes,” Schampel added.

Schampel, Faculty Association President-Elect Keith Heffner and former Faculty Association President Michael Mitchell outlined their issues in a letter.

“As we proceed with a vote of no confidence in the leadership of Chancellor Harper-Marinick, we are hearing a number of concerns expressed by faculty,” the letter said.

“Have we exhausted all efforts to avoid a VNC? Was the chancellor culpable in what SEE VOTE PAGE 4

Saying too much money is wasted on duplication, state lawmakers took the first steps earlier this month to force consolidation of the more than 200 school districts in the state.

And the combinations could occur without voter approval.

The proposal by Rep. John Fillmore, R-Apache Junction, would eliminate any separate elementary and high school districts that now exist. Instead, they automatically would become unified districts no later than July 1, 2024.

But HB 2139, approved by the Senate Appropriations Committee on a 6-3 party-line vote, does not stop there.

It would require every school board in the state to annually determine how much money could be saved by not just unification but also with consolidation with other adjacent districts.

In fact, it spells out that in the smaller population counties, those with just three supervisors, there could be no more than three school districts. Most counties with five supervisors could have up to seven districts; Maricopa County could have no more than 20.

Fillmore’s bill provides a carrot for governing boards that can come up with their own consolidation plans without taking it to voters, allowing them to spend more money than would otherwise be allowed for up to three years.

But balking appears not to be an option.

HB 2139 says if the governing boards don’t come up with a plan by June 30, 2022, to unify and consolidate, then the county school superintendent is directed to come up with a plan. And it spells out that any such plan “shall be execut-

ed without an election.”

The issue, Fillmore said, comes down to dollars and cents.

“When people have said to me that schools have more money, I’ve always had the quick comeback (that) they have enough money,” he said. “What we need to do is have them spend it a little bit more wisely.”

Fillmore, who is a business owner, said it comes down to running the state education system more like that.

“If we did some consolidation, got rid of the redundancy, duplication and excess waste in the districts, we could have the opportunity to save ... I believe hundreds of millions of dollars,” he said. In fact, he prepared his own study pegging the total savings at $506 million out of about $7.8 billion now spent each year in state and local funds for operation and maintenance.

Fillmore said this isn’t just a way of cutting state spending, saying his legislation would allocate 25% of whatever is saved for teacher salaries.

What is bothering some of the foes – and even some of the supporters – is the mandate.

Sen. Sean Bowie, D-Tempe, said voters in his area have made decisions about how they want their schools or-

ganized. He said there are some unified school districts as well as a high school district and several elementary districts, with voters in some areas preferring smaller districts versus huge unified districts.

“I would be concerned about circumventing voters and circumventing the taxpayers when they’ve clearly made decisions of whether they want to be unified or not unified,” Bowie said.

Sen. Heather Carter, R-Cave Creek, said she has no problem with the idea of having school boards study the benefits of consolidation. But Carter, who agreed to support the measure on April 2, said she won’t vote for it when it gets to the floor if the mandates remain.

Monica Allread, Deer Valley Unified School District’s director of communications and community engagement, said the district will examine it should the bill pass.

“This could be quite costly for school districts to do a yearly analysis and would likely lead to lawsuits between school systems, especially those being annexed,” Allread said.

And Peoria Unified School District’s chief communications officer, Danielle Airey, said her district is keeping tabs on bills in discussion at the Legislature.

“We’ll better be able to evaluate the financial impact if and when they’re signed into law,” Airey said. “(HB 2139) in particular would present significant logistical challenges for many districts and could have some costly repercussions.”

Glendale Elementary School District’s director of community engagement, Jim Cummings, pointed toward a similar bill, rejected by voters in 2009. Citing studies that determined a high cost to merge districts, along with minimal savings after the fact, he questioned why lawmakers would ignore voters who prefer locally controlled schools.

“Glendale voters rejected the (2009) proposal by the greatest margin in the state. There is nothing whatsoever to indicate that voters feel differently,” Cummings expressed.

But he acknowledged little is known at this stage as to how the bill could ultimately affect individual districts.

“As with all legislation the devil is in the details, which are still emerging,” he said.

Fillmore said the mandate is only partly true.

“In my bill, I’ve given them the opportunity to go out for a vote if they want to,” he said, with the financial reward of consolidation and unification

April 18, 2019 without going through that process.

But Fillmore said that it’s going to take more than a simple nudge to get the desired results.

He pointed out there already are opportunities for school districts to unify and consolidate. And there even are some financial incentives for those who pursue that path.

“But they don’t,” he said.

Efforts to force the issue have been discussed for more than a decade.

In 2001, for example, a Senate panel approved a measure creating an independent commission empowered to consolidate the more than 200 school districts in the state to no more than 90. Those that refused would be denied state aid.

It died after drawing fire from officials from some smaller districts who argued with the presumption that small is bad and wasteful.

Five years later a special School District Redistricting Commission created by the Legislature proposed at least forcing a vote in each district on consolidation. But that failed to produce the desired results.

But Sen. Vince Leach, R-Tucson, said it is worth pursuing what Fillmore is proposing.

He said there is little evidence that the state – and the students – are better served with more than 200 districts, citing the experience in Utah which has half as many districts, spends less per student and still has higher test scores.

Fillmore said if the consolidation takes place it will be a net political benefit.

“After my bill is done and these schools are consolidated and they’ve saved that money, that argument can never be used by people like me as a Republican that the schools have too much money because the schools will have made the adjustments necessary,” he said.

The measure now goes to the Senate where it faces an uncertain future.

APS looking for more savings for customers

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF APS is seeking Arizona Corporation Commission approval to once again lower customer rates as a result of federal tax reform. This request will be the final of three adjustments related to federal corporate tax cuts. Once approved, this latest reduction will bring the overall savings from the tax expense adjustor to nearly $9 per month, or $108 a year, for a customer using the average amount of electricity.

Customers started receiving these tax savings in March 2018, and a second wave took effect beginning with their bills in April. The savings will vary based on actual usage and appear on monthly bills as a line item called “Tax Expense Adjustor.” Additional savings from lower APS operating costs and

an innovative energy trading program, combined with the tax reform reductions, are lowering bills $14 per month, or $168 a year, for the average electricity user compared to one year ago.

“APS was one of the first companies to act on federal tax reform last year by passing the resulting tax savings back to customers, and it’s great to see those savings grow,” said Stacy Derstine, APS vice president of customer service.

“With triple-digit temperatures right around the corner, we encourage our customers to explore all the APS resources available to help them manage their bills. During our special 100 Days of Helping outreach effort we are striving to connect more customers to everything from ongoing bill discounts

to balanced billing and energy savings tips before summer.”

For APS customers who qualify financially, resources include the APS Energy Support Program, which provides a 25% discount on monthly energy bills, and Crisis Bill Assistance during a financial hardship like losing a job or facing an unexpected medical expense. All customers, however, can benefit from being on the best service plan for how they use energy, and most are eligible for Budget Billing, a consistent monthly charge that evens out the highs and lows of monthly bills for easier budgeting. More information about these programs and other helpful tips to manage monthly electricity bills can be found at aps.com/helping.

took place last year or just a victim of a hostile board? What evidence do we have to support the claims outlined in the VNC?” The issues, specifically, were Harper-Marinick’s failure to publicly defend the classified staff against the governing board’s resolution to eliminate the classified staff council and the collaborative policy to development process.

They also pointed to Harper-Marinick’s failure to publicly defend the residential faculty against the elimination of meet and confer, her willingness to advance “the partisan political agendas of former board members” as well as Harper-Marinick’s failure to prevent “and later rescind an email edict that directly restricts constitutionally and contractually protected speech rights of residential faculty.” That also chills the speech rights of other employees.

nance stemming from the actions of the MCCCD Governing Board as well as Harper-Marinick.

The report reviewed the actions when the governing board adopted a resolution on February 27, 2018, that immediately terminated the meet-and-confer provision of the RFP, terminated the RFP as of October 31, 2018, and directed Harper-Marinick to oversee the

creation of a new RFP, to be presented for approval at the October meeting of the governing board.

The resolution was adopted by a vote of 4-3. According to the resolution, the new RFP could not contain a meet-andconfer provision and should create “a process of faculty policy development that recognizes the governing board as the final approval authority for all pol-

icy matters.”

It also recognizes the faculty’s valuable contribution in the development of policies that pertain to the residential faculty’s essential mission of teaching and learning, not including aspects related to compensation, benefits, accountability and organizational operations.

Schampel said the report is “stunning on her leadership and previous issues and they say she executed some of them, but ignored or hasn’t done enough work on other issues. We submitted our concerns on appropriate issues and the AAUP investigated interviewing staff, faculty, board members and (Harper-Marinick) declined to be interviewed.”

The changes approved remove the meet-and-confer process, which allows for collaborations between the chancellor and faculty members in multiple areas, including faculty responsibilities, wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment.

The meet-and-confer team is comprised of an equal number of administrators and faculty members, is cochaired by a member of each and has been in place at the district for more than 30 years.

POLICE BRIEFS COMPILED BY CONNOR DZIAWURA Peoria Times Managing Editor

Police investigating fatal train accident A Peoria man was struck and killed when a train was unable to stop in time earlier this month.

According to Glendale police, 31-year-old Anthony Lee Delgadillo was lying on the train tracks near 6300 Northwest Grand Avenue on April 12, when a train began to approach.

Through an investigation, police learned that the engineer and conductor were traveling 17 to 18 miles per hour southeast bound when they noticed Delgadillo, who they did not initially realize was a person. Believing the motionless victim to be trash, the train’s operators blew a horn several times to no response.

By the time they were close enough to confirm the object was a person, they continued to blow the horn and activated their emergency brakes, though they weren’t able to

stop in time.

Police responded around 3:21 a.m., and emergency medical personnel attempted to render aid. Delgadillo, however, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Police are investigation Delgadillo’s reasoning for being on the tracks.

Man turns himself in after fatal road rage shooting A man has turned himself in for the shooting of a young man near Peoria.

Glendale police are referring to it as an incident of road rage.

Daddy Alexander Felix, who turned himself in to Phoenix police April 14, was charged with Suspect Daddy AlexanFelix. (Photo courtesy second-degree der Glendale Police Department) homicide, aggravated assault, two counts of con-

ducting a drive-by shooting, and two counts of unlawful discharge of a firearm.

The victim, Alexander John Pettygrove of Phoenix, had previously died at the hospital.

According to Glendale police, officers were called to the area of North 67th and West Peoria avenues around 4:26 p.m. April 13 to deal with “a violent road rage incident.”

Upon response, officers located a fourdoor sedan that Victim Alexander Pethad crashed tygrove. (Photo courtesy Glendale Police Department) into a wall near a gas station. Inside the vehicle were two 18-year-old men. The driver, identified as Pettygrove, had sustained a life-threatening injury, while the passenger received a nonlife-threatening

wound. They were treated on scene by the fire department and subsequently taken to a local hospital.

Pettygrove ultimately succumbed to his wound, while the passenger is recovering, police said.

During the police investigation, witnesses told officers the suspect, who had fled the scene, had an altercation with the victims. The suspect reportedly pulled up beside the victims at the intersection of 6700 W. Peoria Avenue, where the individuals in the two vehicles exchanged words. Pettygrove then reportedly threw his drink at the suspect’s vehicle, to which the suspect fired a gun back.

After turning himself into Phoenix police and being interviewed by Glendale police, Felix admitted to his involvement.

Forget the tip – pay workers a decent wage

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist

Having recently endured another in a long line of lunches with my friend Bad Tipper Guy, I feel compelled to wonder aloud if it isn’t about time that we as a nation phased out the archaic custom of tipping service workers like restaurant servers and valet parkers?

For one thing, tipping creates a business model that screws customers and employees in favor of increasing employer profits. And don’t we all have enough guilt and shame in our lives without piling on still more every time we dine out, visit a coffee shop, ride in an Uber or have a pizza delivered?

Me, I’ve had enough guilt tripping – and guilt tipping – for three lifetimes.

Take the aforementioned lunch. Because I know Bad Tipper Guy will do one of two things when the lunch

check arrives – deliver a dissertation on the 1938 federal Fair Labor Standards Act and sub-minimum wages or simply leave a single crumpled dollar bill on the table – I feel duty bound to offer to pay for lunch.

Sometimes, BTG loudly insists it’s his turn to buy. Him winning that argument means I have to lag behind as we leave the restaurant, usually by lying about needing to use the restroom.

Then I have to double back to our table and add enough cash to his buck to get us to a 20% tip, minimum.

Why go to all that trouble? Partially it’s my fear of bad karma. But mostly

it’s the years I spent waiting tables for more Bad Tipper Guys and Gals than I care to remember.

I earned $2.13 an hour in those days and was obligated to “tip out” a percentage of each check to the host staff and busboys. If a diner stiffed me or left behind a buck, that meant I actually paid for the privilege of waiting on their table.

A quarter century later, I still go out of my way to tip well, even though I strongly dislike the concept – and the way “tip creep” seems to be impacting more areas of society.

Nowadays, there’s a tip jar on every counter: the bakery, the ice cream shop, the pet groomer, the car wash.

That often leads to customers standing register-side, 53 cents in hand, waiting for the barista to return for the ceremonial dropping of the coins.

Because if a tip falls in a Starbucks and no employee sees it or hears it jingle, was it really a tip at all?

Then there’s the newfound popularity of Square, the app that allows anyone with a dongle and an iPad to take credit cards.

Each Square transaction comes with a gratuity opportunity and suggested amounts – no tip, 15%, 20%, 25% – helpfully precalculated.

Talk about a chance to feel like a grinch.

Now I find myself tipping people for labor-intensive acts like handing over an empty self-serve coffee cup or stuffing a weenie in a hot dog bun.

The latest weird tip request? As of January 1, cheapo airline Frontier has started encouraging tips for flight attendants who sell travelers a prepackaged sandwich or a can of soda.

What’s next? Maybe a dental hygienist with a tip jar next to the tool tray. Or it’ll become customary to start slipping the minister a folded 20 after a particularly moving eulogy. Or, better yet, maybe we will move away from the gratuity model and instead pay people what they’re worth – even if that means a price hike.

I’d rather hear Bad Tipper Guy complain about paying an extra two bucks for his stromboli than listen to him whine one more time about how tipping encourages indentured servitude in 21st century America.

SHELTON’S OPINION – www.cartoons.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

What would Theodore Roosevelt do?

Editor, When Donald Trump was elected president, sportsmen had high hopes that the president and his cabinet would commit to, in President Trump’s words, “honoring the legacy of Theodore Roosevelt.” As our 26th president, Roosevelt worked tirelessly to stop special interests from developing and privatizing our public lands and waters, conserving more than 230 million acres by establishing 150 national forests, 51 federal bird reserves, four national game preserves, five national parks and 18 national monuments.

Sportsmen have applauded the administration for some Roosevelt-like actions, such as their proposal to expand hunting and fishing on 10 national wildlife refuges and their calling on

Congress to create a permanent solution to the practice of “fire borrowing.”

Yet we will continue to hold administration officials accountable for pursuing the rollback of conservation protections on millions of acres of national monuments, scrapping collaborative habitat management plans for sage grouse, and not fighting administration proposals to cut popular public access programs like the Land and Water Conservation Fund. These actions threaten to undermine Roosevelt’s legacy, and I join Backcountry Hunters and Anglers in urging the Trump administration to do the right thing and stand up for our public lands.

Arizona Restaurant Week is ready to showcase special menus

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Peoria Times Staff Writer

Foodies can enjoy discounted entrees at more than 120 Valley restaurants during Arizona Restaurant Week, Friday, May 17, to Sunday, May 26.

“I’m excited because it’s a chance for restaurants to show off their very best culinary skills and gives diners the chance to try lots of different options,” said Susie Timm, Arizona Restaurant Week spokeswoman.

Among Peoria’s participants are Firebirds Wood Fired Grill and Fleming’s Steakhouse. Each restaurant offers a select, three-course meal for $33 or $44 per person.

“It’s a great opportunity to try different types of cuisine or new restaurants that you’ve never been to at a really affordable price,” Timm said.

Unlike food festival events, Timm said Arizona Restaurant Week is unique because customers can decide when and where they want to go.

“It’s more of a dining out experience because you get to create your own roadmap and you set your time and your day and your reservation on your own versus a festival where you attend

and walk around,” Timm said. “We offer people 10 nights twice a year to try out different restaurants.”

Stephen Loftis, Firebirds Wood Fired Grill’s vice president of marketing, said it has been preparing for the culinary spectacle.

“Firebirds Wood Fired Grill is delighted to participate in Arizona Restaurant Week,” he said. “With locations in Gilbert, Chandler, Peoria and Tucson, Firebirds welcomes the opportunity to provide the fine folks in our state with a wide range of culinary choices.

“From our hand-carved, slow-roasted prime rib and woodgrilled salmon topped with charred corn salsa and Mediterranean grain salad, to our cold-water lobster tail, Southwest steak salad and our legendary Ooey Gooey Butter Cake draped with fresh berries, there’s something for everyone at each of our four locations.”

Timm said it provides the best chance to embrace the state’s culinary diversity and she is excited to see what local chefs are preparing this year.

Jalapeno Inferno coming to Peoria West this fall

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Aligning with its 20th anniversary, Scottsdale-based Jalapeno Inferno is expanding to Peoria, launching its third location by late fall in the Park West outdoor shopping complex at 99th and Northern avenues just west of Loop 101.

The family-owned Mexican restaurant joins two stores in North Scottsdale.

The 4,736-square-foot restaurant is the largest location yet and will feature a “bistro Mexicana” concept featuring authentic fare like street corn, ceviche and tomatillo chicken enchiladas with cotija, plus elaborate margaritas. The original location, at Scottsdale and Pinnacle Peak roads, opened in December 1999. The second spot, on Market Street at DC Ranch, debuted in October 2014.

“We felt there was good energy going on at the center, and wanted to be a part of it,” said owner Terry Craig, of the freestanding building he and his wife, Laura, are leasing at the entry to Park West’s Harkins Theatre.

“Park West’s owners are being very aggressive about positioning the property as a lifestyle center, and wanted a

new profile of modern restaurant and other tenants. Already, they host one of the best farmers markets in the Valley every Saturday.”

The menu will be the same as the two other locations, updated twice a year for seasonal specialties. Dishes showcase locally sourced products such as tortillas, produce and proteins, with organic ingredients as much as available.

“I still function as corporate chef and oversee all food and beverage, but I will be looking for a hot, young chef to handle the day-to-day operations,” Craig said.

The Craigs were one of the first to offer Mexico’s street tacos in the Valley, offering the mini tacos layered with fresh grilled meats, onion, cilantro, chiles and Mexican cheese on double-stacked corn tortillas.

Jalapeno Inferno also was one of the first Valley restaurants to celebrate clean, natural ingredients, 100% blue agave tequila and real fruit in its cocktails instead of the more-standard commercial spirits and mixers.

Its signature “The Boss” margarita remains popular after two decades,

for its generous pour of premium blanco tequila, Patrón Citrónge orange liqueur and freshsqueezed lime juice on the rocks. The “Market Street Mixer,” meanwhile, caters to the skinny, organic drink trend, with certified organic Tres Generaciones Plata tequila, acai berry, agave nectar, fresh-muddled strawberry and lime.

Peoria woman has life-changing spine surgery

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Staff Writer

Ashley Skeeters just wanted to have another baby.

That’s what she told Dr. Laura Snyder of Barrow Neurological Institute when she sought help for back pain that remained after a 2009 back surgery in Chicago called microdiscectomy.

“The pain never really went away, to be honest with you,” said Skeeters, who lives in Peoria. “It kept getting worse and worse.

“I had a baby prior to my surgery, and I wanted to have another one. I met Dr. Snyder and let her know we wanted to have another one. She said we’ll see how it all goes.”

Skeeters described her symptoms to Snyder. The disks in her lower back were deteriorating due to degenerative disk disorder. After the 2009 surgery, 25% of her remaining disk on one side remained, with 40% on the other. She then realized she needed a fusion.

Snyder was hopeful.

“When she saw me, she was at her

Ashley Skeeters, far right, had a back surgery similar to Tiger Woods to solve a years-long problem. Thanks to the surgery, the Peoria resident was able to give birth to her third child.

wit’s end with the pain,” Snyder said.

“She was scared. She had two kids and really wanted another one. I told her, the goal with this surgery is that you’re more active or you can do the things you want to do.

“I said to her we’re going to get her better. She’s going to be out walking again and playing golf. It takes a while.

There are months of recovery. The end game is to get people more functional.

It doesn’t always happen. That’s why we have to be really careful about who we chose to do surgery on.”

Snyder performed a complex lumbar fusion of L5, S1 in 2017 and Skeeters said she’s been pain free since then. A lumbar fusion operation joins, or fuses, two or more vertebrae in the lumbar region (the lower back) to stabilize painful motion.

“I like seeing my patients go back to work,” Snyder said. “I understand when my patients tell me they want to return to being outside and active, and I enjoy helping them do so.”

Long battle Before Barrow Neurological Institute, Skeeters saw a number of orthopedic surgeons. She didn’t think they were necessarily treating the problem.

“They treated more bone issues and things like that,” she said. “It was so much more serious. It had more

to do with my nerves. The next level of medical attention I needed was someone who specialized in nerve surgery.”

Skeeters heard of Barrow Neurological Institute but was a little unsure.

She heard late Sen. John McCain went there.

“He’s a pretty famous figure,” she said. “To have that in my own backyard was great. I did some research and found Dr. Snyder and reached out to her about my case. I sent her all my information.”

Snyder said many doctors are hesitant to do a follow-up surgery, but she was up for the challenge.

“A lot of spine surgeons are willing to do surgery on patients who haven’t had back surgery before, but they’re not willing to do redo surgeries,” Snyder said.

“The reason why is it can often be harder. There could be a lot more scar tissue. It takes more time. You don’t know what you’re getting into when you go in there.”

Skeeters wanted to share her story because many times, those with back pain only hear negative stories about fusions and surgeries.

Skeeters’ post-operation rehabilitation took three months, and she was off pain meds after one day. Six months after the procedure, Skeeters was back on the golf course. Perhaps fittingly, her game improved after she underwent the same surgery as Tiger Woods.

“I was able to follow through, full extension,” Skeeters said.

In the 20 months since the operation, Skeeters has given birth to her third child and returned to the golf course.

“I have more mobility now than I did prior to surgery,” said Skeeters, 34, who works in software marketing specializing in country club hospitality. “The common myth with fusions is that you have decreased mobility with fusion.”

Snyder agreed with Skeeters’ assessment that fusions have a bad reputation.

“The people who were happy with their fusions aren’t going around and talking about it,” she said. “They’re going back and living their lives. It’s the people who do poorly who go complain to the lawyer or media. Now I get to share baby pictures with Ashley Skeeters.”

Peoria retirees travel to Cuba to teach English

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Peoria Times Staff Writer

After 25 years as ASU professors, David and Sharon Moore weren’t quite ready to stop educating.

The 72-year-old Peoria retirees headed to Cuba to teach English for two weeks, putting a modern spin on combining traveling and volunteering, or “voluntourism.”

The two-week trip was organized through the nonprofit Global Volunteers, which brings volunteers to partner countries to help with existing projects.

“It’s the best of both worlds,” Sharon said. “We are educators and we give back. That’s why we became educators; not for the money but because we like helping other people.”

The volunteers will work on different projects, but, Sharon said, everyone is expected to teach English in the community centers when they have time.

Sharon said she worked with small children and grown men. One man wanted to learn English so he could get a job as a scuba diver instructor.

David, on the other hand, spent time working in the fields, pulling weeds with residents. He said working closely with the locals was a “cultural exchange” unlike anything he had ever experienced before.

“The local project director said very clearly that our role was not to come in and save them but to build bridges.

It was a two-way street,” David said.

“We learned as much from the Cuban people as they did from us.”

When they were not helping the community or teaching English, David and Sharon experienced Cuba’s true culture and customs. Occasionally, they visited museums and attended events.

“It’s a nice blend of a service project and a tourist event,” David said.

“You really do get below the surface when you are working in the service aspect of things and you get to learn the culture at a level you don’t get on a cruise.”

Sharon said her favorite tradition involved New Year’s Day. The locals create a doll and dress it with old clothes and stuff it with old items. At midnight,

they place the dolls on the curb and burn it.

“Out with the old, and there’s a bucket of water that you sluice out your house to get rid of all the old and you are ready for the new year,” Sharon said.

One thing Sharon said she learned is that money isn’t as important in some communities. Cuba cares deeply for one another and is David and Sharon Moore spent two weeks in Cuba, helping the happy despite the pov- locals with community projects and teaching English at night.

“Obviously, you’ve got the varsity guys who were out there on the mat, but the guys who were there in practice, all the parents and everybody who helped out, it’s for all them, too.”

When Liberty claimed its 2016 title, Peoria had a similar celebration, and Brenton gave a speech thanking his athletes and the city for recognizing their efforts.

Brenton expects this celebration to be the same. It is another way for the stellar athletes to receive the accolades they deserve. Many in the wrestling community feel like their accomplishments are dwarfed by other sports.

“These kids love any chance to be in the spotlight,” he said. “They worked for it, and wrestling doesn’t always get the same type of attention that some

The city of Peoria was set to proclaim Tuesday, April 16, Peoria Liberty Lions Wrestling Champion Day to honor Arizona’s top boys wrestling program.

The Liberty Lions claimed the AIA Division 1 state title in early February, for their second state championship since 2016. The City Council was set to host the team during its April 16 meeting.

The meeting is part of a long celebration. Liberty also held an assembly at the school and its own team celebration. The wrestlers will soon get championship rings.

Canelo vs. Jacobs coming to Harkins

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Staff Writer

This Cinco De Mayo weekend, Fathom Events and Golden Boy Promotions will share the Canelo vs. Jacobs broadcast, live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas to 500-plus cinemas.

In the main event, Canelo Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 Kos) will take a step closer to becoming undisputed champion as defends his WBC, WBA, Lineal and Ring Magazine Middleweight World Titles in a 12-round unification fight against IBF Middleweight World Champion Daniel “Miracle Man” Jacobs (35-2, 29 KOs). A full undercard, featuring David Lemieux vs. John Ryder, will be shown prior to the main event.

The live broadcast is 6 p.m. Saturday, May 4. Tickets for Canelo vs. Jacobs can be purchased at fathomevents.com or at participating theater box offices.

In Peoria, Harkins at Arrowhead Fountains 18, 16046 N. Arrowhead Fountain Center Drive, will show the fights.

Canelo, 28, a native of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, is 154 pounds. He

captured several world titles and defeated the likes of Austin “No Doubt” Trout, Sugar Shane Mosley, Alfredo “El Perro” Angulo, Erislandy “The American Dream” Lara and Liam “Beefy” Smith.

In his debut performance, Canelo became a three-division world champion by knocking out Rocky Fielding in three rounds to capture the WBA Super Middleweight World Title in December 2018. Canelo will return to middleweight for this fight as he continues to clean out the 160-pound division.

Brooklyn-born Jacobs, 31, is widely considered as one of the best middleweights of this era. Jacobs rose up the middleweight rankings to win the WBA Middleweight World Title against Jarrod Fletcher in 2014 after being away from the sport for 19 months, due to bone cancer.

Jacobs made several successful defenses, including a first-round knockout of Peter Quillin the following year.

Despite losing to Gennady Golovkin in a very close fight in 2017, Jacobs has

Pastor Delph: The five love languages of Easter Happy Easter to all of you. If you are a Christ follower, you know April 21 as Resurrection Day. Each Resurrection Day the early church loudly proclaimed, “He has risen. He has risen indeed!”

Easter to them was more than eggs; it was about eternal life and heaven.

It was when love rose from the dead.

Resurrection Day shows us we are not human beings going through a temporary spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings going through a temporary human experience.

Have you heard about the book “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman? The idea driving this book is that everyone experiences love differently.

That’s why it’s easy for us to miss the mark when it comes to showing that we care. “The Five Love Languages” helps

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Glendale Star Contributing Writer

us to give and receive love in more meaningful ways to each other.

The book reveals five different love languages to which people respond differently. 1. Words of affirmation. 2.

Physical touch. 3. Quality time. 4. Acts of service. 5. Receiving gifts. It’s interesting how often couples assume the love language they respond to is the love language to which their spouse responds.

Let’s say one partner loves to receive affirmation so they shower their partner with affirmation, but affirmation isn’t

that important to the other partner. Acts of service are what flip their switch. Get the idea? Miscommunication on steroids. Once you discover the other’s love language, speak their language, even though it’s not what you would resonate with. Now you are both speaking a language each one understands. A-ha!

Here’s an example of how this works you can’t miss, at least where I live in Phoenix. It’s called “The Five Love Languages of Tacos.” Here goes.

Words of affirmation: “Your tacos are delicious.” Acts of service: “I made you tacos.” Receiving gifts: “Here’s a taco.”

Quality time: “Let’s go out for tacos together.” Physical touch: “Let me hold you like a taco.”

If your partner’s love language is providing acts of service, speak this: “I made you a taco.” If you are the recipi-

ent, your love language to your partner whose love language is to give words of affirmation should be: “Your tacos are delicious.” That’s communication. I tried this example on my social media.

They went “el taco loco.” At this moment, you must be thinking I am one taco short of a combination plate.

Did you know Jesus spoke all five love languages to us while He was on earth, and still does today?

Consider His words of affirmation about his disciples in John 17:26, when Jesus is praying to God. “But I have known you, and these disciples know that you sent me on this mission. I have made your very being known to them who you are and what you do, and continue to make it known so that your love for me might be in them exactly as I am in them.” Let me paraphrase this. “God,

For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.” John 3:16. Because God loved, He gave the ultimate gift, Jesus Christ, to us. We didn’t deserve it. We didn’t earn it. Love is God’s nature, not performance.

So, there you go, my friends. No matter what your love language is, God has spoken it in Jesus. My advice is: believe it and receive it. “He (and God’s love language) is risen, indeed!”

Jesus changed His itinerary and gave Lazarus, Mary and Martha intense quality time, right in time. When Lazarus came forth from his tomb, love came forth from the tomb.

Consider Jesus’ acts of service when He said, “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” John 15:13. Jesus performed the greatest act of love and service for humankind ever known: He died for our sins. On the cross, God poured all our badness into Jesus, and all of Jesus’ goodness into us. When He died, all our sins died. When He arose, we arose.

Can you imagine what that was like? The Greek word for used for love here is agape, love as God has love in a pure and moral way.

‘Guys and Dolls’ celebrates the ‘Golden Age’

BY BRIDGETTE REDMAN Peoria Times Staff Writer

Performing in Peoria at the Arizona Broadway Theatre has at least four guys and dolls pretty excited.

Three of them are returning to the dinner theater’s 14th season, while one is making his debut there in “Guys and Dolls,” a Golden Age favorite from 1950 about gangsters, gamblers, chorus girls and Salvation Army officers.

“This show is why Broadway was born,” said Brad York, ABT’s director of marketing. “Wildly entertaining, Guys and Dolls is a timeless musical that many critics have called ‘the most perfect Broadway musical of all time.’

We’ve assembled the most perfect cast sure to stir up some uproarious applause from our ABT audiences.”

The show runs from May 3 to May 26 and, before buying a ticket to go find out the fate of the longest running crap game in New York, read on to meet the show’s four leading actors.

John Cardenas Cardenas trained as an opera singer growing up in San Diego, steeped in the classical tradition and soaking in as many Golden Age musicals as he could. Then came a crucial moment,

when he had to decide between staying in California and pursuing opera or going to New York City and performing musical theater.

New York won and now Cardenas is returning to ABT for the fourth time, previously having appeared in “Hairspray,” “West Side Story” and “Fiddler on the Roof.” “(ABT) is one of the most family-type theater atmospheres I’ve ever been to,” said Cardenas, who added that the management staff makes the actors feel at home.

Cardenas said they met community members because ABT puts them up at sponsors’ homes when they arrive and until the cast of the previous show moves out of actor housing.

“You are in a strangers’ house and they adopt you as if you’re their own child,” Cardenas said. “They take you around and get you acquainted with Peoria and Phoenix.”

Cardenas will be playing Nathan Detroit, the gambler who is trying to keep the craps game running and whose long-time girlfriend, Adelaide, is badgering him to settle down and marry her.

“I like him because he’s a really solid character,” Cardenas said. “He has all of

this authority, but has no idea what the heck he’s doing. He just knows how to play the game really well. He gets in trouble a lot, but he always finds a way to weasel his way into making things all better.”

It’s Cardenas’ first time performing “Guys and Dolls,” even though he’s always specialized in Golden Age musicals and just recently developed an appreciation for more contemporary ones. He remembers watching “Guys and Dolls” on VHS with his parents when he was young because it combined his love for musical theater with their love for Frank Sinatra.

Cardenas has a sentimental connection to ABT. His mom hated flying and had never seen him perform professionally until he did “Hairspray” at ABT. She drove to the performance for what would be the first and last time she’d see him as an actor.

“She passed away a few years ago,” Cardenas said. “It’s just that personal connection I have remembering how excited she was. Every time I go back, it’s a really nice reminder. I feel like she’s there in spirit.”

Caelan Creaser An ASU student, Creaser is coming full circle when she takes the stage as Miss Adelaide.

Her first production when she transferred to ASU was “Guys and Dolls.”

She was one of Adelaide’s girls. Now,

just weeks away from her graduation as a theater student, she’s getting to play the part of Adelaide for ABT. Creaser, who is from Seattle, was originally on ABT’s stage for “Catch Me If You Can” and said she was surprised and impressed with the theatrical experiences available at ABT and Arizona.

“Arizona completely surprised me with how vibrant the theater community is here,” Creaser said. “Arizona Broadway Theatre puts on such an amazing experience for their audience: fine dining, world class actors from all over and the orchestra. It is such a unique experience that ASU gives their patrons.”

Creaser recognizes that she’s a little on the younger side to be playing Miss Adelaide, but feels that that gives her the opportunity to play more with the iconic character’s youthfulness.

“She’s really ready to get married and there is this aspect about her that is naïve about the world and marriage.

I want to bring out the more goofy and fun-loving aspects of Adelaide,” Creaser said.

Trisha Hart Ditsworth Ditsworth had never really considered living in the greater Phoenix area, until she started booking shows here and realized Arizona offered her the perfect combination of family and

April 18, 2019 work – as well as many of the benefits she used to get when she lived and worked in New York.

“We have a lot of companies here in Arizona that are interested in hiring local talent and in providing a space for artists here, and that’s really exciting,” Ditsworth said.

“Arizona Broadway gets the majority of their cast out of New York. That’s really great for me, because that used to be my community. It’s the craziest, smallest world being in theater. I’ll work here with the same people as when I lived in New York.”

ABT audiences have seen Ditsworth in “Titanic,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Hair,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “The Lucky Stiff.” Now she’s taking to the stage in “Guys and Dolls” as Sarah Brown.

This is Ditsworth’s third time performing in “Guys and Dolls” and her second as Sarah. She first played Mimi the hot box girl, in high school.

“The comedy is timeless and it is just so much fun,” Ditsworth said. “It’s timeless because the humor is based on these relationships that are still relevant now. The reason we’re still telling ‘Guys and Dolls’ is it just has this certain energy about it that is fun and full

of life.”

Ditsworth loves that Sarah Brown, a sergeant from the Save-a-Soul Mission, is feisty and stubborn and unwilling to compromise her beliefs. She said Sarah is a quirky character, which comes out in the song “If I Were a Bell.”

“It’s really fun to play a role where she is very put together and has her guard up and then, partly due to alcohol and a new place and experience, she lets loose and you see this other side of her,” Ditsworth said. “She’s fun and wild. She has these wild moments and outbursts.”

Sam Hartley Hartley is new to ABT, but he’s an old hand when it comes to “Guys and Dolls.”

Growing up in Nebraska, his parents wanted him to be exposed to a wide variety of activities. He played every sport and then took a theater class when he was seven, followed by voice lessons at age 13. The combo took and musical theater became his passion.

His youth theater instructor had a partnership with Music Theater International in which he tested the new Broadway junior shows – versions of musicals that were cut down to an hour

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

and tailored to kids. When Hartley was 12 or 13, they got to test the first release of the “Guys and Dolls” junior version. Hartley was cast as Nicely Nicely Junior.

“It’s one of my all-time favorites,” Hartley said. “It’s so wonderful and has stood the test of time in so many ways.

It just doesn’t get produced enough. I was so excited to see that ABT was doing it and I could not be more pleased to be a part of it.”

And after recent turns playing Beast in “Beauty and the Beast” and the title role of “Elf,” he’s excited to be playing someone who wears a pair of pants and a button-down suit when he takes on the role of Sky at ABT. Coming out of New York, where actors are encouraged to hone in on what is considered their type and play only those roles, he feels he has been very lucky to play widely different types of characters.

The role of Sky Masterson will be a change for him, and one he thinks will surprise his closest friends.

“I don’t know that a lot of people who know me through and through would think of me first as a gangster,” Hartley said. “I am excited to stretch in the direction of a tough guy who

21

has seen everything, experienced it all and manages to come out on top at every turn. I want to make sure he has a whole lot of heart. He is human and for the first time in his life he meets a doll in Miss Sarah, who changes his life and he has to look at things through entirely different eyes.”

Hartley pointed out that “Guys and Dolls” comes from an era when the songs from musicals were the popular music of the era and this show is filled with iconic standards. Between that and the comedy, he said it is a show the whole family can enjoy.

“It has its appeal to adults, but it has big flashy numbers for everyone else to enjoy,” Hartley said.

Pop and jazz band brings music, joy to local audiences

BY CARRIE SNIDER

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

When members of the Priscilla Rose Band take their place on stage and play, the music is so infectious that audience members tap their toes, sing along or even get up and dance.

But then, spreading the love of music and the joy that it brings is the reason the band keeps playing.

Priscilla Pinches, who lives at the Peoria-Glendale border, is the lead singer and keyboard player. She started singing when she was 6 years old and began piano lessons three years later.

Clearly, music is her passion, which she began at a young age. Right after college, as part of a chorus in Pennsylvania, Pinches sang at the White House when Ronald Reagan was president and when Jimmy Carter was president.

After moving to Arizona, she began teaching music. She teaches at the Music & Arts Center in Glendale and The Sun City Piano Club.

Several years ago, at a music jam, Pinches met guitar player Rich La Rose. The two put their heads together and had the makings of a great musical

duo. They added their two names, Priscilla and Rose, to make the band name.

Soon they added two other members to their band – a bass player and a drummer – to make four.

SUMMER INSTITUTE AT GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY

A premier Christian camp experience for high schoolers Students will spend three days, two nights on GCU’s campus learning from professors and participating in social events. Multiple program tracks are available to choose from, focusing on different academic interest.

June 17 – 19, 19 – 21, 24 – 26 or 26 – 28 Camps are $75 per session for housing, meals and more!

Available for fall 2019 high school sophomores, juniors and seniors.

Get the details at GCU.edu/SummerInstitute

Together, the Priscilla Rose Band plays gigs in Glendale, Peoria, Surprise and Sun City, among other places. The venue and event dictate the type of music they play, but generally they play favorites from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

“From Frank Sinatra to Sade, the Eagles to Elvis,” Pinches said.

They have songs they play fairly regularly, but they are adding songs all the time. In addition, they play some original songs on occasion.

A 40-year guitarist, La Rose is just as passionate about music. Outside of the Priscilla Rose Band, La Rose plays with the classic rock group The Jan Petrie Band and serves as music director for the Praise Band at Christ The Redeemer Lutheran Church in Phoenix, of which Pinches is a band member as well.

The Priscilla Rose Band’s bassist lends a lot of years of experience and some versatility to their sound. Ray Carter plays electric bass for pop songs and the upright bass for jazz songs. He has performed with The Isley Brothers, Mary Wells of “My Guy” fame, and legendary jazz drummer Lewis Nash.

Their drummer, Jack Lake Jr., performed with the late Dick Dale as a member of The Deltones. With all four members playing together, it truly is a blend of experience and passion that listeners feel.

Music for the homeless Besides the typical gigs, the band

also looks for ways to give back to the communities they love so much.

Nearly every Tuesday, the Priscilla Rose Band plays in Glendale at Grateful Hearts, a nonprofit that feeds between 200-300 meals to the homeless.

Volunteer Olivia Templeton heads up the organization and said besides offering food she envisioned a little bit more.

“I wanted to make it a party for them,” she said.

She invited a musician to play while the homeless were eating, and it’s been a great experience. When that musician couldn’t play as often, they recommended the Priscilla Rose Band.

“It’s a lot of work, setting up the equipment and tearing down,” Pinches explained. “But it’s so fun to see people swaying to the music. It releases endorphins.”

Templeton said music is therapy and helps people forget their troubles.

“What’s really cool is when one of the homeless gets up and sings. It makes them feel good about themselves,” Templeton said.

Paper Foxes to reveal new songs in Peoria

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Staff Writer

Fans of the Phoenix indie pop band Paper Foxes are in for a treat when it plays Peoria’s Music on the Plaza at 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 20.

The quintet will preview its forthcoming debut album, “Popular Confessions,” by playing it in its entirety.

Produced by Bob Hoag at Mesa’s Flying Blanket Studios, “Popular Confessions” has already spawned a single, the relentlessly hook-laden title track.

The band – which includes singer/ guitarist CJ Jacobson of Tempe, bassist Uche Ujania of Peoria, drummer Jahlani Ujania of Peoria, keyboardist Patro Gaston of Phoenix, and guitarist Oliver Lemke of Phoenix – has been performing for about five years, inspired by the likes of Dear and the Headlights, MGMT and England’s Bloc Party.

“We came together because we had similar influences,” said Jacobson, who graduated from Desert Mountain High School in Scottsdale. “We were all listening to indie rock in high school and

Paper Foxes will release its debut full-length album this fall. (Photo by Ashley Null)

we realized there weren’t bands like that around the Valley.”

Since its formation, Paper Foxes has stayed busy, opening for Dreamers at Valley Bar, and the Wrecks in Flagstaff. Their previous EPs, which blend indie rock, danceable pop and “crunchy melodic rock” were highly regarded.

“We try to stay really busy when we can,” said Jacobson, who earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from ASU in business and sustainability.

“We tour regionally, hitting Flagstaff, Tucson and Southern California.

Once we release our album this fall, we will tour the West Coast.”

TheaterWorks brings ‘Beauty and the Beast’ to the stage

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF TheaterWorks closes its 2018-19 YouthWorks Series with Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” in the Gyder Theater Friday, May 3, to Sunday, May 19, at the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts.

The musical tells the tale of Belle, a young woman seeking adventure and escape from a provincial town, and the Beast, a prince who has been cursed by an enchantress. The Beast must learn to love and be loved in return to break his spell, but, embarrassed by his terrifying appearance, he has shut himself away from the world while time is quickly running out. Belle encounters the Beast when she goes to his castle to beg for the release of her sick father.

Agreeing to trade her freedom for her father’s life, Belle must navigate imprisonment in an enchanted castle, and the Beast must face his biggest fear for them to find their happily ever afters.

“Beauty and the Beast” was the first

Disney movie to be adapted into a Broadway musical. This Broadway favorite ran for 13 years, making it Broadway’s 10th longest running production.

The musical adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast” features all eight songs from the original movie along with 12 new tracks written just for the stage production to expand the story and give more depth to the beloved characters. Join Mrs. Potts, Chip, Lumière, Cogsworth and other Disney favorites in this “tale as old as time.”

Artists create temporary public artworks in Peoria

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Peoria Times Staff Writer

IN FLUX has selected 10 artists to create public artworks across the Valley, including Peoria.

Eliza Weber was selected to design a piece outside of the Main Library at 8463 W. Monroe Street, Peoria. Meanwhile, Bobby Zokaites’ sculpture will go outside Sunrise Mountain Library at 21109 N. 98th Avenue, Peoria.

A Tempe resident, Zokaites was inspired by the desert. His piece is based on a loose abstraction of a Joshua Tree. In addition, it has a “cartoonish aesthetic.”

The artwork is being installed this week and next.

“I spend a lot of time backpacking with friends out in the desert, so a lot of my current work surrounds the desert in some way,” said Zokaites, who attended Alfred University in western New York.

“I do mostly mixed media, but the use of steel and fabrication is my forte,” said Zokaites, who began working on the sculpture, Yucca Oraxlie.

“This is a lot faster than big permanent projects, so you actually have

a lot more freedom to do a variety of things,” Zokaites said. “There’s a lot more detail because I got to spend more time on each component because it is smaller piece.”

At the same time, Zokaites kept in mind the library’s theme.

“Putting it in front of this tome of knowledge is certainly what I was playing with,” Zokaites said. “I was trying to excite interest and imagination in the library and the wealth of the books that are there.”

Weber, who could not be reached for comment, was inspired by Peoria’s cotton history and she is creating a ceramic cotton bale, according to Kevin Vaughan-Brubaker, the public art manager with Scottsdale Public Art, an advocate for IN FLUX. A nonprofit, IN FLUX has been working since 2010 to bring creativity to the Valley and to re-activate communities.

“It started about nine years ago during the economic downturn as a way for empty store fronts to become

activated,” Vaughan-Brubaker.

“The thinking was the installations would bring activity and people to the storefront and generate interest, and maybe those storefronts would be rented out and it would be a benefit for the landlord or the property management.”

Beyond that, IN FLUX provides an educational experience for artists who may want to enter the field of public art and helps keep the community young.

IN FLUX and the artists it works with attempt to flood the Valley streets with contemporary art forms. With the help of artists like Zokaites, the Valley will continue to have a strong presence with the arts.

“The Valley is a vibrant place for the arts and for building an arts career to grow their artistic practice and to raise the quality of life in the Valley,” Vaughan-Brubaker said.

Overcoming homesickness at summer camp

BY EVELYN TORREZ-MARTINEZ Girl Scouts – Arizona Cactus-Pine Council Camp Director

Regardless of how many times a child has been away from home, being away at summer camp can be stressful for parents and campers. The most important thing to know is that preparation – for both the parent and camper – is key.

Camp directors like myself understand that every camper has a different comfort level based on what they have experienced in life with their peers, family, school or other activities. So, the more you prepare with them while in their comfort zone, the better they will respond to feelings of homesickness when they are out of it (like at summer camp or any extended period away from home).

Many people don’t realize that most feelings of homesickness are not problematic and are normal. And homesickness is not just something that the camper will feel. In fact, parents tend to initiate this emotion even before the camper has arrived at camp. What parents can do to ease these feelings is come up with proactive coping skills that will ease their mind when this situation happens. You know your camper better than anyone else, so be cautious in your approach.

For example, if you say, “If you get homesick, I will come and pick you up right away,” or, “What will I do while you’re gone?” it conveys a message of doubt to your camper and hinders confidence and independence building.

We advise parents to speak confidently and “stay strong as a parent.” Focus more on listening to your camper, being curious about their thoughts and feelings, and then tell them you are looking forward to hearing all their learnings and stories at the end of the week.

The best remedies for homesickness are two-part. While our camp’s staff is trained to support your camper while they’re away, the most important part of the remedy takes place at home.

Create a plan as a family by incorporating these homesickness prevention

strategies, focusing on your camper’s needs: 1. Preparing your camper to feel more comfortable with the idea of going away for a couple nights will improve their overall experience at camp.

Spending time visiting their new camp, getting to know where your camper will sleep and doing activities will help parents and campers feel at ease.

A great way to introduce Girl Scout Camp is by attending one of our open house events to tour the lodges, visit activity areas, see the cabin units, and meet the staff as well as other campers.

We encourage parents to engage with the camp staff and ask about camp procedures and prepare a routine with their camper while at the facility. By parents and campers also identifying any additional concerns, they can review this as a family, be proactive and prepare for a great experience.

2. One of the biggest things you can do to ease your camper’s stress before going to camp is to coach them through packing – have your camper pack their own bag and make the decision on what they will need to bring to feel comfortable, like their special blanket, for example. The more independent they are during this first step, the more confident they will be doing things on their own while at camp.

Girl Scout Camp staff is trained to handle these types of situations as we tailor our techniques for each type of camper and work to proactively set campers up for success by helping them feel comfortable. A first day at camp can feel uncertain for new campers, so our camp counselors provide an orientation, review things like the schedule for the week, and show campers where they will sleep and shower.

3. Prepare pre-stamped envelopes so you and your camper can communicate throughout the week. Our camp counselors find it important to have a busy camper schedule. Rest hours are when campers tend to think about home and feel homesick the most. We help prevent this is by keeping them engaged with quiet games, stories and

The more you prepare with campers while in their comfort zone, the better they will respond to feelings of homesickness when they are out of it. (Photo courtesy HMA Public Relations)

activities like writing letters to their family.

4. Reflect! Reflection is an important part of Girl Scouting, as it helps re-center your perspective and practice self-gratitude. Encourage your camper to tell you how they overcame the challenge and how it made them feel.

Acknowledge the good job they did in being confident and attending a camp program away from home. This will elevate their trust in themselves and make them look forward to going on independent adventures again.

The goal should not be to completely avoid homesickness, rather, manage it if it occurs, as building coping skills and resilience are important aspects to

living a healthy life. Truth is, feeling homesick is completely normal, but applying these techniques will prepare them with what they need to handle it, and will in turn give them a boost of self-esteem and independence.

Remember that your camper is in great hands with our Girl Scout Camp staff and is available to work out any plans with campers and their families to prepare for it.

Lastly, as you’re overcoming homesickness, remember to celebrate it! It is a great accomplishment for both parents and campers.

Peoria ‘lady trucker’ carries on family tradition

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Staff Writer

It’s fair to say Jacinda Duran is “driven.”

A 13-year Peoria resident, Duran is a third-generation female truck driver who was recently featured as part of uShip’s campaign to spotlight women in trucking and logistics.

Her story was one of five that uShip told to help shine a light on women thriving in the 92% male trucking industry and highlight those with nontraditional career paths.

A mother of two, Duran drives for Plycar Automotive Logistics, a highend exclusive car hauler, and is best known as “Jacinda Lady Truck’n” on Facebook. Duran is Plycar’s first solo “over-the-road lady car hauler.”

“I think it was made to be, to be honest,” the cross-country driver said

about her career choice.

“I fell in love with it. I love the freedom of being out here on the road, the different scenery, the people and the cars.”

Duran grew up around trucks, as a passenger of her grandmother, Roberta, who drove for 50 years, and mother, Melanni, a 23-year driver.

Her second cousin is Marc Springer, who starred in A&E reality series “Shipping Wars.”

“They’re very proud and very supportive,” she said.

“It’s nice to see the family tradition continuing. My dad also drove, locally.
