Binsbacher ﬁrst Cactus League executive director BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor

Peoria City Councilwoman Bridget Binsbacher has been named the Cactus League’s first executive director. Binsbacher has been involved with the Cactus League for more than a decade and became its first female executive board member in 2012. Last season, she was the Cactus League’s director of operations. “I am honored to serve as Cactus League executive director,” Binsbacher said. “Spring Training is a key driver in Arizona’s economy and a source of pride for all Arizonans. I look forward to working with our stakeholders to ensure the long-term vitality of the Spring Training industry.” In 2018, the Cactus League generated

$644.2 million in economic impact, according to an ASU study. Six out of 10 attendees come from out of state. Founded in 1947, the nonprofit Cactus League has been run by volunteers for most of its history. “We are excited to name Bridget to the newly created role of executive director,” Cactus League President Jeff Meyer said. “As director of operations, she did a great job overcoming many challenges facing the organization. With her long experience in Spring Training and strong relationships statewide, Bridget is the ideal choice to lead the Cactus League.” A former banker, Binsbacher will be responsible for executing Cactus League

In the early 1930s, her grandfather played for a Mexican league farm team. He passed on his love to baseball to her uncle, who played in farm leagues and Spring Training for the Padres, before they were an official franchise. Binsbacher’s brothers played college ball, as did her sons. Her two older sons were on the Liberty High School baseball team when it won its first state championship.

Craig Cavanaugh, 44, was last seen in Payson on July 4, according to Farmington, New Mexico, police. Department spokeswoman Georgette Allen told Peoria Times the 2012 Toyota Tacoma Cavanaugh had been driving, however, was found on July 14, a little over a week after his disappearance. She would not say where. And yet, weeks later, Cavanaugh’s location is still a mystery. A Facebook page, Help Us Find Craig CavaSEE MISSING PAGE 2

And according to police, a witness reported having seen Cavanaugh there that afternoon, though no formal evidence supports the claim. “After this, all communication ended, which is extremely out of the ordinary for him,” a moderator for Help Us Find Craig Cavanaugh posted July 9. “He was supposed to be home Thursday night/early Friday morning to leave for a Fourth of July vacation for the weekend.” Instead, according to Allen, two men used Cavanaugh’s credit cards to purchase numerous items at several Valley stores in the days following his disappearance. “The individuals in the photos used Mr. Cavanaugh’s credits cards at a Home Depot and Dillard’s in Glendale, and attempted to use them at a Maverik in Payson and a QuikTrip in Peoria,” she said.

school baseball career, she began working with the Peoria Diamond Club, a nonprofit whose volunteers participate in the daily operation of the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres Spring Training at the Peoria Sports Complex. In addition to Spring Training, the Diamond Club hosts special events and programs throughout the year to benefit local youth charities. As a Cactus League executive board member, Binsbacher helped create the league’s strategic plan, which outlined the need for an executive director and staff to support the Spring Training operation. “I transitioned into director of operations from the board, which was the first employee of the Cactus League,” she said. “I was just recently elevated to the executive director level. “I’m really excited about this opportunity. Baseball’s been in my family for generations. I definitely consider myself a baseball mom, more than anything.” In her new position, Binsbacher will be responsible for executing the strategic plan, which calls for the Cactus League to function as “one voice.” “We essentially want to take the organization to the next level,” she said. “It allows us to collectively promote Spring Training and grow this opportunity. It’s a huge economic impact for the state — a $644 million impact to our state. “It’s an industry all of its own. Spring Training gives the fans a great opportunity to see baseball up close and personal. Six out of every 10 fans are from out of state. What’s awesome about Spring Training in Arizona that’s different from the Grapefruit League (in Florida) is the proximity to our fields.” It’s easy for baseball fans to go from one park to another in a reasonable amount of time. “They can stay in one location for their Spring Training experience and go to games at any one of our 10 facilities. It’s very, very manageable.” Her goal is to promote Spring Training’s late February start. It formerly kicked off in March. “The new norm is an early start,” she said. “Spring Training started the first week in March. Now it’s late February. That’s a big adjustment for fans and the travelers who come out during March and spring break. I want to put forth an effort to promote the early start of the season.”

“FPD takes missing persons cases very seriously,” Farmington Police Deputy Chief Jessica Tyler said. “Due to the facts of the case as they stand, we are concerned for Mr. Cavanaugh’s safety. We are working diligently with the other agencies to find him.” Police identified Cavanaugh as having hazel eyes and brown hair. He is 5-foot-11 and weighs 220 pounds. “Basically it’s a waiting game,” a moderator for Help Us Find Craig Cavanaugh posted on July 16. “We wish we had more news. There are so

many unanswered questions but we are leaving this in law enforcements (sic) hands.” Anyone who believes they know either of the men or has information on Cavanaugh’s disappearance is asked to contact Farmington Police Department Detective Kenneth Smith at 505-5991005 or the FPD Detective Tip Hotline at 505-599-1068. A GoFundMe has been set up to assist with search expenses as well as personal expenses at gofundme.com/f/ craig-cavanaugh-help-fund.

Peoria seeking feedback on draft general plan BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF An important part of shaping Peoria’s future starts with residents’ input and ideas. The addition of new trails to the Peoria trail system, land development, open space preservation and urban redevelopment are just a few of the things being presented for public feedback in the city’s general plan update. “Peoria’s general plan serves as a road map for growth and development over the next 10 to 20 years, while also providing key decision-making guidance as new issues emerge,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said. The state mandates that all municipalities have and maintain general plans. A general plan is a community-based document that guides all aspects of growth over the next 10 to 20 years and beyond. Peoria’s new plan is designed around six livability goals such as healthy neighborhoods and economic prosperity and addresses a multitude of topics such as water resources, land use, housing, transportation and more. Throughout this update process, public feedback has proven vital in inform-

ing the shape and evolution of the new general plan. On July 18, this year’s round of proposed changes to the general plan were released to the public. Peoria residents are encouraged to review the changes and provide feedback before September 16. The changes will be posted to peoriaaz.gov/planning, where comments can also be submitted. Alternatively, residents can provide feedback by contacting the Peoria Planning and Zoning Department at 623-773-7200 or 8401 W. Monroe Street. These 2019 amendments then will move forward to public hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission in October, with final city council action scheduled in November. Ultimately, when completed, the revised general plan will be placed on the fall 2020 ballot for voter consideration. “As we chart our future as a city, this is an important opportunity for our community to lend their voice in transforming Peoria’s future,” Carlat said. “I look forward to hearing from even more residents as we enter the next phase of updating this comprehensive document.”

Bulldog overheats; Peoria Fire issues summer pet safety reminder

Mickey, a 5-year-old bulldog, was rushed to a local fire station with signs of heat exhaustion July 16. After initial treatment by paramedics, he was taken to a veterinarian. (Photo courtesy Peoria Fire-Medical Department/Facebook)

Peoria Times Managing Editor

With temperatures reaching nearly 110 degrees, the Peoria Fire-Medical Department is sending out a word of advice to the public: “Keep an eye on your pups as the weather continues to be warm.” The dangers of heat exhaustion in dogs are all too real for one local family. According to a Facebook post by the department, 5-year-old bulldog Mickey was rushed to Station 191 on July 16 after he became overheated.

Paramedics “administered oxygen and used cooling techniques” before taking Mickey to a veterinarian for further treatment, the post continued. According to officials, dogs regulate their body temperature with a form of open-mouth breathing called panting. Excessive panting, however, can be a sign of a dog experiencing heat exhaustion. Symptoms of heat exhaustion can include collapsing, convulsions, vomiting, diarrhea or blue or bright red gums or tongue.

Credit union robber still at large BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Peoria police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a man subject who robbed a local Credit Union West earlier this month. Around 4:55 p.m. July 2, the suspect walked into the Credit Union West at the southwest corner of Cactus Road and 67th Avenue, approached the teller and presented a written demand note. The suspect reached toward his right waistband area, possibly implying he was armed. The teller complied with his demands. Police have not released the amount of money that was stolen. Upon exiting the bank, the suspect fled to the east into an adjacent parking

lot, where he was seen getting into the front passenger side of an older-model, white Dodge extended-bed pick-up truck. The suspect was described a Hispanic or Native American male, 25 to 35 years of age, and around 5-foot-8 to 5-foot-10 with a heavy build. He was wearing a black baseball cap with an emblem, eyeglasses, a blue/ gray button-up, long-sleeve shirt, black pants and tan/yellow work-type boots. Anyone who has information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Peoria Police Department Tip Line at 623-773-7045. Silent Witness is available at 480-WITNESS.

Leibo: What did we do to deserve this bunch? BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ

indeed possible to judge people by the company they keep. Let me be perfectly clear: In no way, shape or form do any of these combatants speak for me on the subject of how we might repair what currently ails America. They don’t have my back and I don’t have theirs. Let’s take Trump first, since he’s the president of the United States, though you’d never know it by his demeanor, word choice or treatment of those who disagree with him. Was Trump’s Twitter attack suggesting that “The Squad” members “go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came” a racist statement? Of course. It was also abysmally stupid — three of the four targets are American-born — and un-American.

Peoria Times Columnist

In the ongoing uncivil war between President Donald Trump and Democrat congresswomen like Reps. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib, I choose to side with … … neither side. This choice may seem unfashionable in 2019, because we’re all supposed to have picked a squad by now and adorned ourselves in either red #MAGA hats or #ImpeachTrump T-shirts. But I’ve never been much of a joiner. I quit Boy Scouts at age 10, didn’t pledge a fraternity in college and have been a registered political independent for the better part of the last 25 years. Plus, I subscribe to the notion that it is

I mean, we’ve come a long way from the inscription on the Statue of Liberty — “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free …” — to chants of “Send her back” filling the air at Trump’s July 17 rally in North Carolina. So no, Trump doesn’t speak for me. On the other hand, neither do progressive Democrats intent on pushing the country as far to the socialist left as possible. Contrary to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, I don’t believe we have a “manufactured crisis” at the Mexico-U.S border. And yes, Rep. Omar has herself wandered into Trump territory, tweeting, “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.” A month ago, I tried watching the Democrat debate, a project that lasted about 30 minutes. Part of my lack of interest had to do with watching 20 people trying to have a conversation, but most of it had to do with moments like Joe Biden discussing wind farms and Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and multiple others nattering on about “free college” and free everything else. While I find Trump’s personality noxious, watching these 20 felt like attending

a faculty brunch at the nation’s most politically correct community college. Couple them with the anti-American sentiment of The Squad and no, I won’t be joining that movement either. Nor am I alone in wanting to be alone. The most recent Gallup poll saw 27% of Americans call themselves Democrats and 26% identify as Republicans. Meanwhile, 46% chose independence of either party. Back in the day, political pundits would have used that number to suggest the path to the White House demanded a moderate tack. Not anymore. Now the goal in advance of the 2020 election is clearly to inflame the base while depressing everyone else. Heading into next year, expect more hate from Trump and more anti-Trump hate and leftward policy shifts from the Democrats. Meanwhile, the rest of us get to stand around wondering if anyone actually cares about solving the problems we face as a nation. I’ve heard it said that countries get the leaders they deserve. If that’s true, I have to wonder what hellish crime America committed to merit this feckless bunch. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.

Clean elections create broader participation, transparency BY GALEN PATON Guest Columnist

Hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on political campaigns, and the 2020 elections will be no different. Many of these dollars are from organized donors assembled as countless political action committees or PACS — private corporations and unions. It can be overwhelming to think about running for office when you consider the amount of money in politics. However, Arizona is one of 14 states in the nation where voters established an option for individuals to run for statewide and legislative office with

public monies. It was passed by voters to diminish the influence of special interest money by breaking the link between fundraising and governing that gives rise to corruption or its appearance, and to broaden the pool of candidates. A recent example of a clean elections candidate is Arizona’s superintendent of public instruction, who recently opined that her election was, in part, made possible because of the Citizens Clean Elections Act. Since its inception, candidates from all political parties have chosen to run clean for state offices

Rules of forcing entry

You will be pleased to learn that the law limits your liability if you break a window on a car to rescue a child or a pet. However, you must follow the rules very closely for this protection. The law basically says a person can use reasonable force to enter a locked and unattended motor vehicle to remove a minor or a domestic animal and is not liable for damages in a civil action if all of the following apply: 1. The person believes in good faith that the minor or the animal is in imminent danger of suffering physical injury or death unless they are removed from the motor vehicle. It is interesting to note that there is no mention of a minimum outside temperature. 2. The person determines that the vehicle is locked or there is no other way of opening the vehicle. As a police officer, I would frequently go to these calls only to find that the doors on the other side of the car were unlocked. Be sure to check all options before forcing entry. 3. You must contact the police, emergency medical or animal control before entering a motor vehicle. The operative word here is “before” you force entry. 4. You only use the amount of force that is necessary to gain access. So, don’t pull off a door with your truck

LESSONS FROM THE BENCH Judge Donald Watts Peoria Times Columnist

winch when all you had to do is break the window. 5. If you do use force to gain entry to a vehicle, you must stay with the minor or the animal until first responders arrive. Lastly, if you fail to do any part of this law you could be held liable for the damages. When I was a police officer I responded to hundreds of calls of children or animals locked in the car. In every single case I was able to find a way to break into the car without damaging it or the owner returned in just a few minutes. I would respectfully recommend that you use caution and ensure you are complying with the statute before you force entry to a vehicle. Lesson from the bench: Never ever, ever leave your children or pets in a vehicle unattended, especially during the summer months; they are simply too precious to be left alone.

such as governor, secretary of state, attorney general as well as the Legislature. The act has fulfilled its intention: Broader participation and transparency in elections. Moreover, candidates who run with clean elections funding aren’t raising money from the same people they regulate. Come August 1, candidates who have chosen to run as a clean elections candidate in the 2020 election will begin soliciting $5 qualifying contributions from registered voters in their districts so they can qualify for public funding and not rely on special interest money. There is 100% transparency of clean candidates’ campaign monies, as every single clean candidate is audited by the

commission to ensure public funds are spent in compliance with the act. Clearly, the Citizens Clean Elections Act is working. If you want to run for office, know that in Arizona, you can. Public office is attainable. Learn more about running as a clean candidate by visiting azcleanelections.gov/run-foroffice/how-clean-funding-works. Commissioner Galen Paton was appointed by Gov. Doug Ducey to the Citizens Clean Elections Commission. The commissioner had a long and rewarding career coaching high school and college softball, volleyball and basketball teams in the Southwest. He is a current member of the Realty Executives Tucson Elite group.

READER’S VIEWPOINT LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Those who put party first

Editor: As a former 30-plus-year resident of the Peoria area, I found the July 4 opinion column of Rep. Debbie Lesko mostly “opinion” and little else. Though I read this late (due to USPS delays), I understand it was written before the U.S. House voted to approve $4.5 billion in “immediate humanitarian aid” for the border situation with a bipartisan vote. The result is…the bill passed.

What did not impress me was, in a six-paragraph article, Debbie took five opportunities to lambaste Democrats for something they helped to pass. What she did not report on was what she has done to bridge the gap with the party in the House majority to move things forward. Could it be she has no intention of working with the majority party members so she can look “pure” enough for the GOP primary in 2020? There are plenty of “party first” purists in the U.S. Congress.

Local Realtors fundraising to buy water for homeless MILD MILD MILD PAIN PAIN PAIN

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF In Arizona, approximately 132 people die every year from excessive heat. And in Phoenix, the average temperature in July is 106 degrees. City officials refer to Code Red season as an “invisible, slow-moving crisis.” The extreme summer heat is particularly punishing for the more vulnerable, such as seniors, those with disabilities and the homeless. With this troublesome issue in mind, the Stan Abraham and John Vitale Team from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties is raising funds to buy water to help the homeless in Phoenix during the brutal summer months.

In order to help the homeless in Phoenix survive the blistering summer heat, Abraham and Vitale are asking for help in raising money to buy this overlooked segment of the population water. This fundraising effort is part of the Phoenix Rescue Mission’s seventh annual Code Red Water Drive, which occurred from June 15 to July 15. “Our goal is to raise $25,000 in total donations,” Abraham said. Added Vitale, “By donating, you can actually save someone’s life, as life on the streets during summer can be deadly.” According to the Arizona Emergency Information Network, most heat disorders strike when people spend too much

Cactus grad part of Women’s National Soccer Team champions BY ERIC NEWMAN

Peoria Times Staff Writer

The dominating performance at the international stage U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team in the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup had a bit of local flare to it. Among those celebrating the hoisting of the country’s fourth trophy after a 2-0 win over the Netherlands on July 7 was Jessica McDonald, an Arizona native who graduated from Cactus High School over a decade ago. She, and several other members of the National Team, took part in several team celebrations before returning to the North Carolina Courage, her full-time club team in the NWSL. McDonald, who graduated from Cactus in 2006 and played several sports for the Cobras — she was a member of the 2004 and 2006 state championship basketball teams and remains one of the top performers at track and field beside her soccer excellence — was one of the oldest players on the NationalTeam. She reflected on her experience at the World Cup, and said the pride runs even further than just representing Arizona and the United States. “I’m out here not just representing the state I am from, not just my family

name, not just the United States, but all the moms out there,” McDonald told Yahoo! Sports. “That’s super cool for me.” Representing success for mothers was high on McDonald’s priority

list when it came to her time with the USWNT. She was the only mother on the roster. Her son, Jeremiah, who was born in 2012, spent time celebrating the championship with her on the ﬁeld, making

confetti angels on the ground. “He doesn’t fully understand, but at least he’s an age right now where he’s actually going to remember this,” McDonald told The Associated Press. “He’s going to look back and be like, ‘Wow, I was there. Wow, my mom is actually cool — like she said.’” Now back with her team, McDonald will have to reintegrate herself with the Courage’s lineup, which has found success even without some of its top players during the World Cup. However, she ﬁts back into the team. Courage coach Paul Riley told the News and Observer, a local Carolina publication, that the returning players, including McDonald, will hopefully increase interest around the league and team and provide excellent experience and lessons for the rest of the women on the roster. “(The World Cup) has been massive for us and the league,” Riley said. “They have to have that quality that they showed in France here now, and that goes for every player that’s in the league.” Julie Ertz, a Mesa resident and graduate of Dobson High, was also a key contributor on the 2019 championship team.

If you are one of the millions that suffer from dental fears, you are not alone. Many patients are being treated for fear with flawed techniques. Patients often tell us that numerous attempts to sedate them have failed. Dr. Tobon completely understands this and it is why he developed his own technique that he teaches to other dentist throughout the US and internationally.

First female sea lion born at Shipwreck Cove BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park recently announced the birth of the first female sea lion pup at Shipwreck Cove. The newborn’s animal care team named her Makara, which means “little sea creature” in Hindi. With her mom by her side, Makara is quite the adventurer and explores everything in her new world. “She has already earned a special place in all of our hearts, and we are beyond thrilled for the public to get to know this amazing pup,” said Kate Conely, sea lion manager at Wildlife World. Makara is the third pup to be born as a result of Wildlife World’s successful sea lion breeding program. Makara, or “Little Mak” as she has been nicknamed by her trainers, has spent much of her time in the zoo’s off-exhibit pup nursery getting acclimated to water and preparing to begin swim lessons. The art of swimming is not a skill sea lions are born with. After lots of water play using kiddie pools, the youngster is ready to graduate to swim lessons in the large public viewing pools. Markara’s lessons will

Like all marine mammals, sea lions are protected by the landmark legislation known as the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), first passed in 1972. The MMPA makes it illegal to hunt or harass any marine mammal species found in U.S. waters. Sea lions, like many marine animals, face an uncertain future due to ocean pollution, dwindling fish stock, and competition with human activities. Wildlife World’s expert sea lion care team is committed to providing the best care to their animals and engaging, informative and fun The first female sea lion pup was born at Wildlife educational experiences for visiWorld.

Peoria man pens award-winning book on losing weight BY MICHELLE SHREEVE

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

David Medansky was given an ultimatum by his doctor in 2016: Lose weight or find another doctor. He didn’t want Medansky dying of a heart attack on his watch. After all, based on his lab test results, there was a 95% chance of that happening. The Peoria man was faced with a reality check. Within four months, he went from 217 to 167 pounds. His energy improved, his clothing was baggy, he no longer needed to take naps in the afternoon to help him get through the day, and he felt better about himself. He didn’t follow any fad diets. He just cut back on his meals and ate better. “I began drinking only pure water,”

he said. “I eliminated soda, fruit juice and other processed foods. I began to eat slower. I use a salad plate instead of a dinner-size plate. I reduced my alcohol consumption. I began eating whole foods and stopped eating at least three hours before retiring to go to sleep.” Being overweight wasn’t always a problem for Medansky. A Chicago-born retired divorce attorney, Medansky was always fit, but his weight just spiraled out of control. “I tried and tried, but I couldn’t stop eating or stay on a diet,” he said. “Instead of eating one scoop of ice cream, I’d eat an entire pint in one sitting. I was disgusted with myself. I couldn’t believe my pants size ballooned. I was blindsided and everything

changed.” Since his successful weight-loss journey, Medansky has felt he needed to help others. In 2018, he wrote the award-winning book “Discover Your Thinner Self: A Common Sense Approach for a Slimmer, Healthier You” ($14.99 on Amazon and $17.59 at Barnes & Noble), which offers practical advice on how others can reduce their weight and make healthier choices. Medansky will sign copies of his book from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, August 3, at Barnes & Noble in Arrowhead Mall, 7700 W. Arrowhead Towne Center, Glendale. Medansky’s book gained nationwide attention and led him to create a weightloss program called “Create Your Thin-

ner Self,” using the methods that worked for him. Unlike like most diets that are trendy, temporary and hard to stick to, his program includes private coaching sessions. For more information, visit createyourthinnerself.com. He also provides customizable weekly meal plans, recipes and shopping lists. He has penned a second book, “If Not, When? Reduce Weight: Create a Healthy Lifestyle in 90 Days” ($19.95 on Amazon and Barnes & Noble), which is set for release on October 29. It focuses on staying healthier now, not later. “It’s my ethical duty and obligation to help others achieve their healthy weight so they don’t suffer like I used to be or be at risk,” he said.

Diamondbacks’ biggest fan Fulton Homes promoting celebrates 100th birthday ‘Cause for Paws’ BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Peoria Times Staff Writer

Maria Miranda was born two months premature and she was so small that her parents kept her in a shoe box when she was fed. “My mom couldn’t nurse me because I couldn’t move,” the Peoria resident said. “So, they fed me with an eye dropper.” She thrived and turned 100 on July 7 with a July 6 family birthday party. Miranda raised a large family who thinks of her as a loving woman who was always ready to make sacrifices for the benefit of others. Although she loves her family, she’s just as passionate about base- Maria Miranda turned 100 on July 7.

For the seventh year in a row, Fulton Homes is launching “Cause for Paws” so canine companions can save their paws from the harsh Arizona heat. Included in the promotion will be appearances at PetSmart locations throughout the Valley and free dog bootie giveaways to a limited number who are in attendance. The next event is 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, August 17, at the PetSmart at 2901 W. Agua Fria Freeway, Phoenix, near Peoria. CEO of Fulton Homes Doug Fulton explained that this public service campaign with KSLX was designed to make Valley residents aware that walking dogs on concrete and pavement any time from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. can cause pain and even injuries. “We love our families and we love our dogs,” Fulton said. “There are a lot of people in the Valley who are unaware of the dangers of walking our dogs on concrete and pavement during the middle of the day in the hot sum-

mer months. That’s why we are rallying around this issue.” The temperature and length of time a human or dog can tolerate walking on a hot surface are the same, but people do not realize that a dog’s paw padding is similar to human feet. Studies have shown that the skin on the bottom of a dog’s paw can redden and burn after just 5 minutes on a 120-degree surface. After 1 minute on a 140-degree surface paws will burn, leaving permanent damage. At 150 degrees, rapid burns and blistering occur, resulting in permanent nerve damage. Through September 2, KSLX will promote Fulton Homes Cause for Paws on kslx.com by its on-air talent, social media, through e-mail blasts to listeners, and with live radio remote broadcasts, featuring personalities Mark & Neander Paul at four high-traffic PetSmart stores around the Valley. The first 100 Valley residents to these events will receive a free pair of booties for their dogs to protect their paws from the heat.

Giordano’s honors summer storms with Monsoon Margarita BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Expected rain showers sure seem like the perfect cure for these scorching summer temps in metro Phoenix, but as Valley residents know, the monsoon moisture brings dust and thunderstorms that aren’t for the faint of heart. Torrential rains may be on their way, but there’s another refreshing way to cool down: a new Monsoon Margarita that’s available now through the end of September at Giordano’s restaurants in Phoenix and Las Vegas. The popular restaurant’s Arrowhead location is at 16222 N. 83rd Avenue, Peoria. This summery cocktail — named after the legendary summer storms of the desert — features a fruity blend of tangy pineapple juice and traditional lime juice, along with agave nectar, tequila and triple sec. It’s served on the rocks in a cinnamon-rimmed glass and garnished with a wedge of orange

for a sweet twist that complements the great-tasting, monsoon-inspired mixture. The cocktail costs $9.25. Though dust and thunderstorms are inevitable, that’s not to say people can’t make the most of monsoon season. Giordano’s considers this a timely, light-hearted piece that invites Arizonans to cool down with a fun cocktail that’s perfect for storm watching.

Community members discover Phoenix rocks BY KATIE SAWYER

Valley residents are doing a double take on usually mundane rocks while traversing parks, concert halls and trails. Snuggled between their earth-toned brethren were colorfully designed and meticulously painted rocks. On the backs of all of them was a similar message. “You found me! Post on F.B.

The rocky affair started when Thomas found a painted rock in his hometown of Cincinnati while on vacation, and had fun participating in the rock group there. When they returned to Peoria, they thought, why not start a group themselves? “We really liked the idea and didn’t really see any solid groups out here that were doing anything of this nature, so we decided to start one of our own, and it took off pretty quickly,” Dawn said.

‘The Biggest Loser’ accepting applications for contestants BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Peoria Times Staff Writer

The reality show “The Biggest Loser” is accepting applications for its upcoming season, giving Valley residents the chance to focus on their health and diet. “Everyone has a different story to tell and everyone’s story and journey is so unique and powerful,” said Allison Kaz, “The Bigger Loser” casting director. “We’re looking for people who are truly in a place in their life where they’re ready to transform and start a healthy journey.” “The Biggest Loser” is taking applications for the next two months, and the network expects to begin filming in the fall. To enter, visit blcasting.tv. Contestants who make the show will be filmed for two months, and will have access to experts and trainers equipped to give them the tools necessary to reach their goal. “During the show, they come to ‘The Biggest Loser’ ranch and, over the course of a couple months, they will work out with trainers and have access to learning the tools of diet and exer-

cise,” Kaz said. On NBC for 17 seasons, “The Biggest Loser” will air on the USA Network in 2020. Both networks are owned by NBCUniversal. The show features obese or overweight contestants competing to win a cash prize by losing the highest percentage of weight relative to their initial weight. This time around, the show is taking

a holistic approach to weight loss, according to Kaz. “The show is about getting healthy from the inside out. It’s not just about shedding weight. I’s really about how to stay healthy long term,” Kaz said. As for the contestants, Kaz said the casting department is looking for people who need to lose roughly more than 100 pounds.

“We really are looking for all types of people, whether you’re in your 20s, you’re single and you’re looking to kick-start your life; or you’re married with kids and you’re looking to create a healthy lifestyle at home; or you’re an athlete who’s looking to get back into shape,” Kaz said. “The Biggest Loser” impacts the lives of contestants and viewers, said Kaz, who has been part of the show since the beginning. “As a casting director, it’s the most rewarding show I’ve ever worked on,” she said. “I can’t tell the countless number of letters I’ve received from people who have watched the show and gotten healthy and lost weight or made some dramatic change in their life because of watching the show.” “The Biggest Loser” offers contestants the chance to really change. “For the contestants, it’s really a time where they get to focus solely on themselves without distractions from all other things that are going on in their lives,” Kaz said. “They get to focus on what’s most important thing to them right now.”

‘Spamilton’ pokes fun of Miranda’s ‘Hamilton’ BY BRIDGETTE REDMAN

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

Can something truly be called a cultural phenomenon in this day and age if it hasn’t been spoofed? Whether or not it can, there is little doubt that “Hamilton” has seeped into the culture in ways few Broadway shows have done in decades. So, it isn’t surprising that Gerard Alessandrini, the master of Great White Way satire and the founder of “Forbidden Broadway,” has applied his talents to the hip-hop historical musical. His spoof, “Spamilton: An American Parody,” is touring the country, and The Phoenix Theatre Company is hosting it through August 11. “Everyone who knows ‘Hamilton’ and loves ‘Hamilton’ loves this show — they hear the music, they know all the lyrics, and when they hear how we twist and play with it, it’s priceless,” said Datus Puryear, the actor who plays actor Leslie Odom Jr. and historical politician/lawyer Aaron Burr in the touring production. “Everyone knows the show so well and they’re ready to have a good time. We do the twist and they’re always right there with us.” The twists include new words to familiar songs, creative casting, puppets and the skewering of other shows and Broadway personalities. In addition to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical, “Spamilton” also parodies “Gypsy,” “Chicago,” “The King and I,” “Assassins,” “Camelot,” “The Book of Mormon” and “Sweeney Todd.” The show debuted in New York in July 2016 and continued a successful run that extended to Chicago, London and a national tour. Puryear said he and many of his fellow cast members have auditioned many times for “Hamilton” (and he has been called back many times as well), and when they auditioned for “Spamilton,” they knew most the music by heart. It made it easier to jump into “Spamilton,” especially because they had only two weeks to rehearse before going live. “If I didn’t know anything about Hamilton, it would have been hard. Knowing it made that learning curve a lot easier,” Puryear said. Puryear got a late introduction to musical theater. While he was involved in the arts and music throughout school, he’d never done theater until he was encouraged to audition for “Beauty and

the Beast” during his senior year of high school. He was cast as the Beast. “It was a whole other door that opened for me,” he said. “It made me regret not doing theater my previous four years. When I went to college for music, I continued to do shows. It was something new I had discovered.” After college, he did a few commercials, had his first TV show on CBS, and then he booked “Spamilton.” It’s a show he said is absolutely for everyone —whether they have seen “Hamilton” or not. “When I first booked the role, I was “Spamilton” is called a “night of musical comedy and dancing.” (Photo courtesy The Phoenix Theatre) thinking that this was just going to be for a niche audience,” musicals.

They cared, dared, shared and they all fared well Did you know Jesus was the first neighborhood activist? In Jesus, God’s Word became flesh. Jesus was sent by God from heaven to earth to show us what God is like. The original language in the Bible clarifies Jesus’ mission. “Jesus pitched His tent in earth’s neighborhood…” Jesus came to earth to show the way, not just preach, screech, beseech or teach the way. He got involved. He wore blue jeans. He became a participant. He got his hands dirty. He had compassion. Then his compassion turned into passion and then action. Jesus served people with no agenda. Most caring these days has some self-serving email attachment that comes with it. Jesus served people, just because. It was God’s love in action. There is a story in the Bible of a paraplegic who had four friends. The friends heard that Jesus was speaking in a small house near them. The paraplegic couldn’t get to Jesus on his own, so the four men carried him to the house. The house, however, was crowded with people. So, what did the four friends do? They tore a hole in the roof of the house and lowered the paraplegic through the hole to Jesus. Can you imagine what the homeowner thought of that? Try explaining that damage to your home insurance agent!

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Columnist

The paraplegic was incapable, incapacitated and inadequate to have faith himself. He was not able to approach Jesus for himself. Many people are like this man. They are hurt emotionally, physically and financially. They are paralyzed by past mistakes, their inability to forgive, bitterness, criticism, low self-esteem, negative circumstances, poverty, disease and the like in their lives. However, this paraplegic had four roof-raising friends! He was personally limited but corporately connected. His four friends could transport him beyond his injury to places, people and peace that he could never reach on his own. Where they went, he could go. He received the benefit of their faith, their hope, their perseverance and their resourcefulness. His climbing companions were friends born for adversity. They were friends who stick closer together than a brother. When you have friends like these, any-

thing can happen. His friends were hopeful that Jesus could heal their friend. Because they had hope, which is the expectation of future good, they had faith. Faith won’t let a crowd of people in a small house with no easy way in deter them. Faith understands that when doors are closed, you try the roof. They raised the roof for their friend. Lesson: They cared, they dared, they shared and they all fared well. They weren’t too busy for their friend in need, a citizen of their community. They lent him their faith. His healing came from Jesus, but his faith came from others. Jesus saw “their faith.” People can be mended by the faith of others. Your “paralyzed” neighbor, boss, customers, friends, spouse or family member may not have faith, but you can! Don’t let a crowd of people crowd out being a blessing to others. You never know what can happen when you get them in the presence of God. Sometimes miracles such as healing, salvation, even changes of attitude, are instant, as in this case. Other times, they require a process. God is responsible for which way the healing comes. There are friends and there are crowds. Our “friendly” ministry is to get them to Jesus, even if we need to do some roof

raising. Maybe even someday, in your time of need, someone may raise the roof for you. Jesus saw the faith of the paraplegic’s friends, who were not intimidated by the need or the crowd. He spoke to the man and said, “Rise, take up your bed and go home.” The paraplegic rose, took up his bed and went home. He said fare well to welfare for the rest of his life. Think of it this way: The community is paralyzed with crowds of needs. The church is the four climbing companions who lend their faith to the needy until the needy can get their own faith. That’s a win-win for everyone. In the Scriptures there is a verse which says, “Love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and then love your neighbor as yourself.” Do you know what God is saying to us in this verse? “Neighbor, won’t you be My neighbor and then be your neighbor’s real neighbor?” Think of that you daring, sharing, caring, giving, radically different, faithfilled roof raisers.

Bellevue Heights Church donates bus to help refugees BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF To help support the transportation needs of a refugee congregation, Bellevue Heights Church in Sun City donated one of its buses to the Arizona Karen Baptist Church. Title to the 14-passenger bus was transferred recently to Pastor Tha Hser Tun and Tansy Kadoe, director of communications. According to Kadoe, the bus was put into use immediately, transporting people to services on Sundays and throughout the week. A large majority of the 400-member

Phoenix congregation fled their homeland of Burma (Myanmar), to escape violent government persecution of ethnic Karen and other minorities. Most spent several years in Thai refugee camps before being able to immigrate to the United States. For the past decade, Bellevue Heights has actively supported the ministry at Arizona Karen Baptist Church. Worship services for AKBC are held at the Monte Vista Baptist Church, with a second campus at the former West Dunlap Baptist Church, both in Phoenix.

Peoria girl the newest member of Lego Creative Crew BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor

Adelyn Suddock is a whirlwind of talent. The 7-year-old Peoria girl swims, plays soccer and plays golf better than her mother. Now she’s a member of the Creative Crew at Arizona Mills’ Legoland Discovery Center in Tempe. Her older brother encouraged her to try out after he didn’t make it. “He was Lego obsessed forever,” said Adelyn’s mom, Emily. “He wasn’t selected. When I saw the Creative Crew was auditioning again, I thought I would try it with her. I wanted her to connect with other kids who are into Lego and get other ideas and get other perspectives.” Adelyn added, “I made it and I won and it’s awesome — everything is awesome.” Adelyn is one of 12 kids in the Creative Crew, a group of children chosen annually through a building competition at the Arizona Mills Legoland Discovery Center in Tempe. This year, the day-long event was Saturday, June 15. Kids between the ages of 6 and 10 created one-of-a-kind models in front of a live audience. Judges included Master Model Builder Alec Posta, General Manager Claudio Di

For example, we had them build an animal for the first round of the competition. We had one child build a whole family of turtles and it had a back story. We chose them for the Creative Crew. It’s that extra level of creativity that brings your models to life. I think adults could learn from this, too.” Adelyn, who is homeschooled at the “Wedgewood Academy of Awesomeness,” was thrilled when her mother said she was going to the finals. “I like Lego,” she said. “It’s a fun kids’ toy. I like it because if you don’t have an idea, you can get a set and it helps you get an idea. If you want to be creative, you can be creative. It’s not one of those things like you have to build exactly what it says.” Her ultimate goal, however, is to have a “puppy circus” filled with pugs. “It’s going to be really fun,” said Adelyn, a big fan of Panic! At the Disco. “They’re my favorite dog. I love Lego, my puppy circus and science — because I can make things explode.”
