Community center to provide health resources BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

NEWS .............4 Peoria lawmaker gives up on income tax fight

April 11, 2019

In an effort to fulfill its goal of providing Peoria residents with easy access to nonprofit services that cover a wide array of needs, construction is underway on a new health services resource center at the Peoria Community Center. City officials expect to complete the resource center by Friday, June 14. A grand opening is set for Thursday, June 27. At a recent city council meeting during which staff presented councilmembers with an update, City Manager Jeff Tyne called the community center “an important

hub for the city.” “I am excited for everyone to use the center, and already there have been people announcing they are eager to volunteer and help,” responded Councilman Bill Patena, who Tyne cited as having requested the project update. “I am very excited to see this open and hit the ground running.” The project is in part funded by the fiscal year 2019 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CDBG program, which will cover $450,000, provides communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs.

Peoria proposes $685M budget

Another approximately $585,000 will stem from the city’s general fund, including the repurposing of $150,000 from a neighborhood grant, which typically goes to HOAs or traditional neighborhoods for improvement projects such as playground upgrades, security lighting, landscaping, community signs, shade coverage and pedestrian access. “They already provide amazing customer service at the community center, and it is serving the surrounding community,” said Chris Hallett, neighborhood and human services director. “Expansion with SEE RESOURCE PAGE 3

Peoria man charged with sexual assault, recording BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

Police have arrested a man on accusations of sexual assault and recording women in the shower. Justin Wade Harwood, 32, of Peoria was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail April 2 on charges of sexual assault, sexual exploitation and unlawful tape recording. He was arrested by Glendale police near Union Hills Drive and 91st Avenue. Police said they were noticed of the crimes on December 3, after one of three victims told officers she had found videos of all three showering and using the restroom at Harwood’s home. The victim also told officers she found multiple files of females’ names on Harwood’s computer and thumb drives that contained a number

of women nude. The victim told officers she had dated Harwood and discovered the videos after a domestic violence incident. Officers obtained a search warrant for Harwood’s residence, and determined there to be at least seven victims, including one boy under the age of 10. Police state Harwood can be seen in at least one of the videos. According to the release, a report out of Chandler indicated Harwood allegedly recorded a sexual assault of a woman and posted it to social media in late 2008. He is then accused of blackmailing the woman to remove a restraining order against him in exchange for his removal of the video from the internet. Harwood is also under investigation in a Glendale case for aggravated as-

sault from a November 2018 incident. Harwood did not request a lawyer when interviewed by police and told officers he bought the camera to watch his son due to behavior problems but it was “accidentally left in the bathroom while he was getting ready for work.” He also stated he recalled recording the alleged sexual assault, but denied posting the video to social media. Court records show Harwood is also under investigation by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and the Arizona Department of Child Safety on allegations of abuse of his son. Authorities stated they obtained photos of injuries but no abuse charges have been filed as of April 3. Authorities told the court that Harwood is a danger to himself and others. Harwood is being held without bond awaiting trial.

NVC, local dignitaries celebrate mural BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Local officials, dignitaries and Northwest Valley Connect (NVC) board members and volunteers representing an array of community resources and supporters were in attendance for a ribbon-cutting ceremony and mural dedication April 3. The mural was painted on the outside wall of the NVC offices by What’s Happening Art Movement (WHAM) artist Heather Young, who was also celebrated for the adjoining painted tire planters intergenerational project. Young coordinated a team of senior citizens from Surprise, Sun City and Sun City West and teens from Ombudsman High School in Peoria to design and create the mural of NVC’s logo with the map of their service area in the background. A bus with the handprints from the entire artist team was painted on the garage door. The mural and the tire planter intergenerational project were made possible through a grant from the Peoria Arts Commission. NVC is a nonprofit transportation organization servicing seniors 65 years and older, those with disabilities, and veterans in West Valley communities. NVC Chairwoman Bonnie Boyce-Wilson opened the celebration by recognizing the accomplishments

of transportation services to West Valley communities, followed by Surprise Vice Mayor Roland Winters, who echoed similarly favorable sentiments. Surprise Councilwoman Nancy Hayden, Peoria Councilwoman Vicki Hunt, and Lisa Gray from Congresswoman Debbie Lesko’s office were also acknowledged for their continued support. “Communities are only as good as the collaborative partnerships formed by connective relations,” Peoria Vice Mayor Bridget Binsbacher said at the April 3 celebration. She added how “exciting it is to see how the very important community services in art and transportation came together for this project. “Public Art through the Peoria Arts Commission is very much a focus for the city of Peoria. A support that attributes inspiration and encouragement for a ‘quality of life’ for our residents. Transportation is so important for connecting people to resources and we recognize the void NVC fills in the transportation gaps experienced by our senior residents. The mural represents a connectivity of public art and transportation that contributes to healthy viable communities locally and nationally.” For more information, to volunteer or to donate, call 623-282-9300 or visit northwestvalleyconnect.org.

the dedicated funds council approved last year will allow us to further serve those in the area.” A 26,000-square-foot, state-ofthe-art facility located in the heart of downtown, the Peoria Community Center offers a broad range of activities and classes for all ages. Activities and classes include arts and crafts, dance, games, wellness and other programs for youth and adults as well as space for community events, meetings, lectures and activities. It also offers preschool classes, a game room, public computers, a fitness room, reception hall rental space and meeting rooms. “The adaptive recreation program has been a huge success with summer employment for developmentally dis-

abled,” Recreations Supervisor Paula Considine said. “We also have notable events like the backpack bingo, meal programs and adaptive programs, and Friday night dances, which are well received.” The active adult program has provided 9,392 congregate meals and 20,769 home-delivered meals for adults who can’t get to the center to pick them up. On Thursdays they have also passed out 6,250 brown bags, which give citizens food supplies. “Those that need a meal can come and get one, and we have great volunteers that help with the program,” Patena said. Attendance at the community center has seen major increases over the years, increasing by 11%, to 193,692 visitors, between fiscal years 201617 and 2017-18. And with only three

months remaining this fiscal year, staff said they are already up another 14%. But as construction continues, staff is prepared to increase services through new additions like the resource center, which they hope will connect Peoria to other West Valley cities. “The upcoming resource center will continue with enhanced services for citizens, with our focus on extending the community center services,” Human Services Coordinator Debbie Pearson said. “My dream is to have our center coordinate with Avondale and Surprise centers, that way we can cross coordinate between the three cities to increase services.” The new center will be open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, with Saturdays available by appointment only.

Red Cross inspiring donors for Volunteer Month BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood or platelets during National Volunteer Month in Peoria or its surrounding communities this April. Eligible donors of all blood types – especially type O – are needed to help ensure blood products are available for patients this spring. Nearly half of the public knows someone who has been helped by a blood transfusion. Volunteer donors are the only source of blood products for those in need of transfusions, and the Red Cross salutes the volunteer blood and platelet donors who help fulfill its lifesaving mission. While donors of all blood types are needed, the Red Cross currently has a severe shortage of type O blood donations and urges type O donors to give now. And to celebrate the final season of “Game of Thrones,” HBO and the American Red Cross have partnered to encourage fans and donors to show their bravery and valor by bleeding #ForTheThrone. Those who donate by April 30 will be automatically entered for a chance to win a full-size Iron Throne from HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Terms and conditions apply and are available at redcrossblood. org/hbogameofthrones. Additionally, all presenting donors from April 11 through 30 will receive a commemorative Bleed For The Throne poster, while supplies last, and automatically be entered in the sweepstakes.

Peoria lawmaker gives up on state income tax fight BY HOWARD FISCHER Capital Media Services

With less than two weeks until the filing deadline, proponents of saving Arizonans from an unexpected $155 million income tax hike sought by Gov. Doug Ducey this year have given up. But they’re still hoping to give back to taxpayers next year what they say is an unearned “windfall” for the state. Rep. Ben Toma, R-Peoria, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, said April 2 there simply isn’t time to adjust Arizona tax laws to deal with the fact that changes in federal laws will mean higher bills for some state residents. “I’ve been telling all my friends to file,” he said. Chandler Republican Sen. J.D. Mesnard, who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, pointed out that many state residents already have, in fact, filed their returns. New figures that day from the

state Department of Revenue show that more than 1.9 million returns already have been received out of what may be an estimated 3 million expected based on prior years. The forms used by those filers include changes in Arizona tax law that the governor wants, the ones legislative staffers say will boost state revenues by $155 million, even though that has yet to be approved by the Legislature. But Mesnard said that, given the timing, he doesn’t want to create a situation now where Arizonans who already used those forms would have to file amended returns. Both Toma and Mesnard told Capitol Media Services, though, that they continue to demand that any final deal with Ducey will ensure that Arizonans in the long run won’t get hit up for more taxes than otherwise would have occurred. And that, they said, is likely to mean preparing legislation to

be enacted this year that either refunds the $155 million excess when people file their 2019 returns a year from now, or making other prospective changes in the tax code. The concession by the pair that it’s too late to do anything is a victory for the governor, who has insisted all along that Arizona conform its tax code to the changes in federal law signed by President Trump in late 2017. That is why the state will end up with about $155 million more in its coffers than had Trump never signed the law. Central to the issue is the federal 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. It eliminated or reduced many of the deductions people could take on their 2018 federal returns – the ones due on April 15 – like taxes paid to state and local governments and interest on mortgages. But it more than made up for SEE INCOME TAX PAGE 5

that, at least in bottom-line revenues, by doubling the standard deduction. That eliminated the advantage of itemizing. In general, Arizona conforms to federal law, using the same definitions as the Internal Revenue Code to make filing state returns simpler. That conformity, sought by Ducey, would eliminate those same deductions. Only thing is, there would be no change in the standard deduction for Arizona filers. And legislative budget staffers figured the net impact of conforming to federal law would be to increase state tax collections by about $155 million. That proved politically unacceptable to Mesnard and Toma as well as to most GOP lawmakers. So they pushed through the Republican-controlled Legislature what they saw as a simple solution: Reduce tax brackets by 0.11% to shed the extra dollars. Ducey, who wants the extra dollars for the state’s “rainy-day fund,” wasted no time in using his power to veto the measure. And with Democrats wanting to keep the extra cash, there are not the votes for an override.

Now, with taxes due in less than one week, time is running out to create a revenue-neutral fix this year. So now they are focused on how to fix the problem now by enacting a future change in the tax code. The key, said Toma, is to be sure that just because the state gets extra tax dollars this year because of the federal changes it does not continue “in perpetuity.” More significant, he wants any extra dollars collected this year given back in future years. “There are different ways to do that,” he said. “It could include a one-time tax credit” on individual 2019 taxes. “It could include some sort of increased exemption for one year just to sort of make it right, if you will,” Toma continued. “We haven’t landed on anything specific.” Still, Toma conceded it won’t be a “perfect offset,” with no guarantee that the people who will pay more on their returns this year will get back the same amount next year. Mesnard said a crucial component is having the entire package – both the conformity for this year and the tax offsets for future years – approved as a single package to deter future mischief. The Arizona Constitution requires a

NEWS

two-thirds vote of the Legislature not only to increase taxes but also to eliminate any tax cuts or deductions. Mesnard said that means if a bill is approved this year for a future tax break, it would take a two-thirds vote of a future Legislature to repeal it. That, in turn, would make it difficult, if not impossible, for the governor or future lawmakers to undo the package

and the refund of that $155 million. “My main concern is to make sure that, on the whole, taxpayers are equal to, if not better off than they were,” he said.

April 11, 2019 BUDGET FROM PAGE 1

City Manager Jeff Tyne said the balanced budget maintains “reserves and upholds (the city’s) high commitment to public safety,” and added that it focuses on core services like parks, streets, water and wastewater. But taxes within the city will mostly remain the same, with only small increases to utility rates, he clarified. Primary, secondary and sales tax rates will remain the same. “Utilities, which act as a business that pay for themselves, will have a modest inflation rate increases, but still remain among the lowest in the Valley,” he explained. The proposed budget is comprised of four major categories: the operating budget, at $311.3 million, represents the day-to-day operations of the city; the capital budget, at $281.5 million, entails large, one-time capital projects; debt service payments, at $43 million; and contingency reserve, at $49.2 million. “Balance is the cornerstone of Peoria’s FY 2020 proposed budget,” Tyne said. “The key to Peoria’s continued fiscal health requires balancing the needs of the community with fiscal re-

sponsibility while prioritizing public safety, economic development, neighborhood initiatives, youth and recreation, and capital improvements.” Among the new projects and amenities needed to serve a growing population and maintain service levels, the city has updated its CIP. City leaders took a hard look at the community needs and re-prioritized projects, timing and funding to create a balanced set of amenities that will serve the community and further council goals. The CIP includes major investments in economic development, parks, roadways, public safety facilities, and water and sewer infrastructure. This includes funding for the construction of several major projects already underway, including the expansion of the Pyramid Peak Water Treatment Plant, the Happy Valley Road Widening between Lake Pleasant Parkway and the Agua Fria River, Paloma Community Park, and a new neighborhood park in the Meadows subdivision. Notable new projects to the CIP this year include bus stops for the new circulator route, a storage building for the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts, a planned replacement of the aging fleet building, a new operations building at the Jomax Water

Reclamation Facility, and expansion of reclaimed water infrastructure in northern Peoria. A 2.27% increase has been proposed, which would increase the average bill $1.84 per month. Staff is requesting a 2.73% increase in 2020-21, which would increase the average bill by $2.26 per month. “Rate increases are necessary from time to time to meet operating and capital needs,” said Sonia Andrews, finance and budget director. “The city’s practice has been to request small incremental rate increases each year to keep up with inflation and increasing operating and capital needs of our utility systems. We believe this incremental approach provides better predictability and affordability for our customers.” To continue improvements, Andrews said revenues for water and sewer will need to increase by about 1%. As a result, residents’ water rates are expected to increase 1.1% during fiscal year 2019-20 and 1.6% during 2020-21. While residential and business will both see increases, residents will face the brunt of the costs because they are a majority of the city’s bills. “Over 90% of our accounts are residential, and our typical residential

customer uses about 10,000 gallons of water with about 8,000 gallons of winter water usage used to determine sewer flow,” Andrews said. “Currently, a typical residential customer pays about $81 per month for water, sewer, storm water and trash and recycling services.” Storm water services will increase approximately $1.50 a month over the next two years to maintain the expected increased maintenance costs for the city. The fee will help maintain the city’s dry wells, catch basins, large pipes and other needed infrastructure.

The Saguaro Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) Chapter created a new memorial award to honor the work of Allen Nash, recently deceased former chapter president. Allen had been a leader in working with youth in the community as well as members of the Children of the American Revolution (CAR) organization. On March 23 the Saguaro SAR Chapter – which serves residents of Anthem, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Sun City, Sun City West and Surprise – assembled to present the Allen Nash Memorial Award to the incoming president of the Halle Orme Thomas Society CAR, Haley DeYoung. On hand to assist with the presentation was Linda Nash, Allen’s widow. Linda assisted Compatriot Jan Huber in presenting the new award, which is to be used to further the objectives of the new president of the Halle Orme Thomas Society CAR.

The Saguaro SAR Chapter surprised Linda by presenting her the Lydia Darraugh Medal, designed to recognize her work alongside her husband’s during his term as president of the Saguaro Chapter. Youth members Seth and Brandon Nevers explained the history of the medal and introduced Linda’s contributions to the Chapter. The medal is named after Lydia Darragh (1729-1789), who crossed British lines in 1777 during the British occupation of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to deliver information to George Washington. Former Arizona SAR president James Skaggs of Mesa was in attendance and presented a special flag certificate to Compatriot James Heller for his work as flag chairman of the Saguaro SAR Chapter and for flying the flag at his home daily.

Contreras, Tipirneni to speak at LWV event

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF January Contreras and Dr. Hiral Tipirneni will be the featured speakers at the League of Women Voters of Northwest Maricopa County’s annual meeting at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 13. Held at the Briarwood Country Club, 20800 N. 135th Avenue, Sun City West, the event is open to the public once lunch concludes at 1 p.m. and the speakers take the stage. Contreras, a 2018 candidate for Arizona Attorney General, and Tipirneni, Congressional District 8 candidate, will speak about their experiences as women, their campaigns, and their positions on issues important to the public. Contreras ran for Arizona Attorney General in 2018. She is a champion for getting special interest money out of politics, protecting health care and supporting struggling families. She has dedicated her career to public service and believes in an Arizona where everyone feels safe and where constitutional and civil rights are protected.

Contreras is a fourth-generation Arizonan and longtime champion for women and children. She served as a county and state prosecutor before becoming an advisor to Janet Napolitano in the Governor’s Office, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. In 2013, she founded Arizona Legal Women and Youth Services (ALWAYS), which provides free legal services to children and young adults who have survived abuse, trafficking, homelessness, and the foster care system. Tipirneni first sought public office in 2018 when she ran for CD8 in both a special election and the general election. Tipirneni announced last month that she will be running for David Livingston’s seat in Congress in 2020. Tipirneni has dedicated her life to serving her community, solving problems and improving lives. For the last 20 years, she has been an emergency room physician, cancer research advocate and, most recently, on the board of directors of the Maricopa Health Foundation, which supports the coun-

ty’s public health care delivery system. The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to in-

crease understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. The League also welcomes men as members.

Special needs students raise first beet harvest of year BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The Surprise Community Garden, opened in 2012, is a “Community for All Ages” program led by Benevilla in partnership with the city of Surprise and Rio Salado College. This garden serves as an important space for area residents, children and local organizations to learn about growing organic food in a desert environment. Individuals and groups can rent their

own garden bed to grow produce for themselves or to donate to local food banks. Recently, special needs students from Dysart High Schools raised the first harvest of the year of beets.

Can you be sure that leafy substance won’t kale you? BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist

Back in college, I waited tables at a chain restaurant called Bennigan’s, which prided itself on the “eye appeal” of its food. The secret? We put some half-wilted kale on virtually every plate leaving the kitchen. Because I inevitably forgot to add the kale garnish – or couldn’t find the right-size sprig to adorn some poor schlub’s Monte Cristo sandwich – I came to despise this leafy green. You can imagine my horror 20 years later when kale suddenly became a culinary thing. Kale is everywhere in 2019: salads, smoothies, juices, powder, chips. Hat-

ing kale has become a full-time job because marketers and tastemakers have branded this tasteless crap a “superfood,” allegedly capable of curing disease and making us all live to be 104 years old while still running the 40-yard dash with the speed of an NFL wide receiver. At a salad bar this week, I literally couldn’t locate a shred of real lettuce. There was only kale. As I pondered launching a rebellion, a thought occurred to me: Perhaps medical science might come to the rescue? And it did. See, one of the great things about living in the 21st century – besides the disappearance of Bennigan’s – is that researchers spend time and taxpayer cash studying literally everything. And,

MARGULIES’ OPINION — www.jimmymargulies.com

given the nature of science, all these conflicting studies seem to lead to one conclusion. Everything is simultaneously good for us and bad for us. Like kale. Sure, a single cup of kale contains 200 percent of your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin A. But you know what else kale contains? Pesticides. A study by The Environmental Working Group ranks kale third on their Dirty Dozen list for pesticide contamination. As they explained it quoting recent federal agricultural statistics, “more than 92 percent of conventionally grown kale samples had at least two or more pesticide residues. Some samples contained residues from as many as 18 different pesticides.” Screw kale then. And screw red wine, too. Whenever I eat out with friends lately, someone raves about “dark oak accents” or some such nonsense. My new response: “I’ll pass. I just read a new study in the August journal BMC Public Health. Did you know drinking a bottle of wine per week increases your cancer risk? Sad, but true. Researchers say a bottle of wine weekly is the equivalent of a guy smoking five cigarettes a week, or 10 cigarettes if you’re a female.” I’m also taking a break from the gym, thanks to the recently published study, “The Emergence of Exercise Addiction, Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and Other

Image-related Psychopathological Correlates in Fitness Settings.” The conclusion after studying 1,711 gym users across Europe? “We found 11.7 percent of the exercising population are at risk of exercise addiction.” Fortunately, not all the research news is bad. It turns out pizza can be a useful motivational tool, according to research conducted by Duke University behavioral economist Dan Ariely, who studied workers at an Israeli semiconductor factory. Ariely offered different motivational rewards for a productive work week – including $30 cash, compliments and free pizza. Workers offered the pizza saw their productivity jump 6.7 percent on Day One. That beat workers who chose sweet praise (a 6.6 percent spike) and cold cash (4.9 percent). The interesting part of the study? While pizza and compliments increased productivity over the course of the week, the offer of a modest cash reward actually hurt weekly productivity. If the editors are reading this, I’m happy to take payment this week in large pies. With extra pepperoni, please. And for heaven’s sake, absolutely no kale at all. I’ve read how that stuff can kill you. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.

Charley’s Sports Grill stresses comfort, varied menu BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Staff Writer

Lynn Clemens was working in operations at Avent two years ago when she just didn’t feel right. The then-58-yearold tried to text her daughter and her message was jumbled. Her daughter told her to call an ambulance; Clemens was having a stroke. During rehabilitation, Clemens had to relearn several skills, but most importantly she needed to get out of the house. “I like people and I found myself not seeing anyone or doing anything,” Clemens said. “So, what I really needed to do was get out and try to see as many people as I could.” Her next logical step: Buy a bar/ restaurant. A space at the Loop 101 and Union Hills Drive became available, and she snagged it. She renovated the inside and changed the name to Charley’s Sports Grill. “I ripped out all the carpet and painted everything,” she said. “We put in a new bar and cleaned everything. We wanted it cozy enough so people felt comfortable.” For the menu, Clemens simply offers items she would want to have when she goes out to eat. Wings, brats, pub board, sandwiches spaghetti and salads are among her top items. “I went all over the place to see how other restaurants made dishes and that’s how I chose the menu,” she said. In turn, Clemens enjoys the entire menu at Charley’s, which also has offtrack betting. “Everything’s really good,” she said.

Charley’s Sports Grill has everyone’s favorite beers on tap.

Lynn Clemens’ goal in opening Charley’s Sports Grill was to make it comfortable for women. (Submitted photos)

“My favorites are the burgers and the quesadillas. This morning I had a breakfast burrito to die for.” The half-pound build-your-own burgers are $9.99 and two toppings for an additional $1. The choices are cheddar, pepper jack, mozzarella, American, provolone and Swiss cheese; bacon; green chilis; mushrooms; guacamole; avocado and jalapenos. Clemens is happy with the restaurant. She doesn’t foresee any major changes.

“If I can just keep it the way it is, where I just keep meeting new people, I’ll be fine,” said Clemens, who’s now 60. “Places with off-track betting are typically very male dominated. It was very important for me to create a place where women would feel comfortable.” Clemens doesn’t appear to be a stroke survivor, and she takes that as a compliment. Sometimes, she said, she

Special Olympics Guardian Games returning BY CONNOR DZIAWURA Peoria Times Managing Editor

When the Guardian Games were originally conceptualized, Sanderson Ford was looking for a unique way to raise money for the Special Olympics. As golf tournaments – the original idea – are far and wide, the Glendale

dealership’s officials were brainstorming for something more unique, according to spokeswoman Jenny Kester. Thus, the Games were born. Now three years in, the Law Enforcement Torch Run Guardian Games are going strong, and are set to return from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, April 12, at Westgate Entertainment District,

6751 N. Sunset Boulevard, Glendale. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and runs until 9:30 a.m., when the opening ceremony commences. Then, when the clock strikes 10 a.m., the games begin. Lunch and award ceremonies follow at 12:30 p.m. A partnership between Sanderson Ford and Special Olympics Arizona,

the Guardian Games allow unified teams comprised of one Special Olympics athlete, two sponsor participants and one law enforcement officer to come together as one – and also duke it out with other teams in a variety of competitions. SEE GAMES PAGE 16

EXTRAORDINARY RIDES

2019 Volkswagen Passat is a ‘real pleasure’ BY C.A. HAIRE Peoria Times Contributing Writer

The Volkswagen Passat is worth a look for those searching for a nice fourdoor sedan with German engineering at reasonable cost. The base price is only $23,000; the pictured car is an upgraded Redline version at $25,000. This includes a long list of standard equipment such as dual climate controls, heated mirrors, 19-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, power windows/locks, and satellite radio to name a few. The only option was an LED headlight package at a pricey $1,195. Still, the tab was only $27,040 and that includes a sixyear/70,000-mile factory warranty. Under the hood is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 174 horsepower, hooked to a six-speed automatic gearbox. The fuel economy is listed at 25/36 mpg. We drove this car for 500 miles in one week to get the real-world economy. Our highway trips averaged

The 2019 Volkswagen Passat is a good choice for long trips. (Peoria Times photo by C.A. Haire)

34 mpg, which was impressive. The 18.5-gallon fuel tank gives a cruising range of more than 600 miles, which is more impressive. The cabin is nothing fancy, but materials are very solid, and workmanship is very nice. All of the controls are simple and easy to use. The fake leather trim actually

looks and feels nice, so who cares if it’s not real? Driving the Passat is a real pleasure. The steering is quick enough, the handling on tight corners is brisk enough, and the ride comfortable enough. The brakes bring the vehicle to a halt with no fade. The seats are comfortable.

This car would be a good choice for long trips. These expensive LED headlights do a great job of illuminating the pavement. Even past 300 feet, the spread is wide and road signs are easy to see. The only drawback is these are very expensive to replace, so don’t break them. Overall, the new Passat is an impressive sedan. The price is low and driving pleasure is high. The new extended warranty should bring peace of mind for long-term ownership as well.

AAF suspends play after owner pulls funding BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

Despite opening the season with high hopes of becoming a feeder league for the NFL, the AAF suspended operations April 2. Officials of the AAF informed the players of the suspension of league play in a letter from its board of directors, noting that it would attempt to “restructure” the league and seek new investors. While the letter did not provide a reason for the decision, reports have stated the league needs a minimum of $20 million to complete its first season, and Tom Dundon, the league’s majority owner and chairman, opted to pull funding. Dundon invested $250 million into AAF in February, essentially becoming chairman of the league. Prior to that, AAF had financial issues early in the first weeks of the new league. Staff and employees of the teams were paid through April 3 and players were free to contact NFL or other teams for employment as of April 4. According to an email sent out by the league, “Over the last year, we have been able to realize some amazing accomplishments. We launched a football league, a ground breaking sports technology and APP, and established production and broadcast arrangements to air our content on major networks. Together we created some incredible moments for football and our fans. We are very proud of what we accomplished and appreciate the contributions each of you made during that process. “Unfortunately, after careful consideration, the board has decided to suspend operations of the Alliance of American Football, effective immediately. As part of this process, we expect to keep a small staff on hand to seek new investment capital and restructure our business. Should those efforts prove successful, we look forward to working with many of you on season two. As a follow up to this communication, we will reach out to the personnel who will be involved in that continuation effort.”

Locally, the Arizona Hotshots, who were tied for first place in the Western Conference with the San Antonio Commanders at 5-3, released the following statement: “On behalf of all of us with the Arizona Hotshots organization, we were shocked and incredibly disappointed to learn of the board’s decision to suspend football operations. Charlie Ebersol and Bill Polian delivered a quality football product that fans nationally

were watching on TV and online. “While all startups encounter some challenges, we believed ours could be addressed in the offseason, after a successful completion of our first season. We are grateful to all our players, coaches, staff, corporate partners, and most of all, our fans.” Former AAF players and fans were shocked, too. “It’s always been my dream to play in the NFL, but this is one step closer

to get to the NFL. I’m just taking a different route,” Orlando Apollos running back D’Ernest Johnson during a press conference. “I just want to play football and this league was giving me that opportunity.” Another player, Birmingham Iron linebacker Beniquez Brown added his feelings about the end of the league. “When you get the game taken away from you, you don’t take anything for granted,” Brown said. “Maybe before when you were big time in college, you kind of took the game for granted. But you realize how important the game is, how much you love it, when you don’t have it. Every day I was away from the game was hard, because you didn’t know if you’d play again.” Orlando Apollos head coach Steve Spurrier criticizzed the league after the announcement. “Everyone was led to believe that the Alliance was well funded and we could play three years without making and money and this, that and the other. Obviously, everything that was said was not very truthful,” he said. Local fans outside Sun Devil Stadium April 3 were upset to learn the league had folded. “All I know is this team and league was a lot of fun to attend,” Phoenix resident Donald Ruiz said, wearing a Wolford jersey. “We actually had a winning team in Arizona, so what else could you ask for?” Another fan, Johnathan Walters of Surprise, was also upset to hear about the possible end of the league. “I hope they do find someone to fund this league,” Walters said. “I love having football to watch and attend.” Ebersol and Polian said the league was expecting losses during the first two seasons, but had hoped to break even by season three. “I’m extremely disappointed,” AAF co-founder and former NFL executive Bill Polian said. “On the one hand it was kind of our wildest fantasies come true. It all came true and now it’s all come crashing down.” The Orlando Apollos lead the league SEE AAF PAGE 19

with a 7-1 record and first place in the East Division, while Arizona Hotshots and San Antonio Commanders were tied for first in the West Division at 5-3. Ebersol released his own statement: “My thanks go out to all who made our football product so competitive and professional. I am certain there are many among them destined for future success in the NFL and I look forward to doing all I can to help them in their quest.” He added that both he and Polian thought the league had a strong future. “Unfortunately, (Dundon) has elected this course of action. I am extremely disappointed to learn Dundon has decided to suspend all football operations of the (AAF). When Dundon took over it was the belief of my cofounder, Charlie Ebersol, and myself that we would finish the season, pay our creditors and make the necessary adjustments to move forward in a manger that made economic sense for all.” The Hotshots were the second ranked offense and were led by quarterback John Wolford and running back Jhurell Pressley, who were two of the top offensive players in the league, defensive back Erick Daragan, who was third in the league in tackles, and linebacker Steven Johnson, who had three interceptions. So where to the players and staff go from here? Some NFL teams will take a look at some of the players and more will take a look at the Canadian Football League, which begins its 61st season May 19 when training camps open. Hotshot’s staff sent one last message to fans via social media April 3, stating, “Thank you for believing in us. It was with great pride that we represent-

What is your logo, business card and trademark? Consider this statement if you want to live long and prosper. “Your smile is your logo. Your personality is your business card. How you leave others feeling after transacting with you is your trademark.” You might be thinking, “This statement is for a sales person. I’m a production person.” Or maybe you might be thinking, “You don’t know the company I work for. It’s crazy.” Or you might be thinking, “I’ve tried doing what that statement says before and it didn’t work.” Most everyone will have their take on the statement. Yet, with few exceptions, this is a great guiding principle for life. Applying it will do you good and help you, too. It will also do others good, too. That’s the point of this article. Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card and the way others feel after transacting with you is your trademark. Your logo, business card and trademark is for others more than you. We’ve experienced the counter person with a frown that could sink a ship and a personality to match. Their frown says to us, “I’m having a bad day. I’m in a bad mood. If you bother me, I’m going to make you pay for it.” Then we say to ourselves, “Dear person, please cancel my subscription to your issues.” As we have said before in this article, if we don’t heal from what hurt us, we will bleed all over people who didn’t cut us. The truth is if we are going through a hard time or down time personally, we can be pleasant on the outside. We don’t have to be rude. And we don’t have to make people feel mad, frustrated or offended after transacting with them. Most times, it’s not the load that breaks us down. It’s the way we’re carrying it. Don’t let what’s on the inside of you outside if it will turn others off. Our first impression is often our last impression. People judge us by our actions, not our intentions. One might have a heart of gold, but so does a hard-boiled egg. Let’s desire for those around us to transact with the heart of

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Church @ Community

gold in us, not the hard-boiled egg in us. The world is filled with nice people. If you can’t find one, be one. Be somebody who make everyone feel like somebody. Let your smile change the world but don’t let the world change your smile. Think of how many marriages have be split, sales not made, opportunities missed, customers who have not returned, people who left their church, and the like because someone copped an attitude. The person with the bad

attitude on the outside is probably not singing, “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” or “Happy” on the inside. Approaching a person happily and then fleeing from the same person angrily is not a good trademark to have. I remember when I started my business at 24 years old. I didn’t know too much about the industry I was in but I remember I had a smile and I had a positive personality that was a great ally in dealing with others. People felt good after engaging with me. At least that is what they told me. I wanted to be pleasant because I didn’t like the alternative. To those not naturally inclined to seeing the glass as half full, you can learn it. After all, if you are going to transact with others, a great logo and a great business card is a great way to brand yourself. You will stand out from others.

What logo or brand do you want for what for yourself? What would others say is your trademark? Ask three other people if you need to change your personality. If you’re the hard-boiled egg type, here’s great encouragement for you. Can an egg fly? Yes…after it’s transformed! Transformation starts with information that turns into revelation, through illumination, which is going to require some imagination and perspiration. The revelation comes from God.

TheaterWorks draws the curtains for The Marvelous Wonderettes BY ANDREA ESTRADA Peoria Times Staff Writer

The Marvelous Wonderettes – a virtual blast from the past featuring golden oldies from the 50s and 60s, hilarious teenage drama and lessons on friendship, love and forgiveness – is in the midst of a Peoria Center for the Performing Arts residency. TheaterWorks, the resident theater company at Peoria Center for the Performing Arts, opened the musical comedy in late March. The remaining dates are 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 12; 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 13; and 2 p.m. Sunday, April 14. Tickets start at $16 for students and youth, rising to $33 for seniors and $38 for adults. The rendition, which runs about two hours, follows four best friends – Betty Jean (Sarah Cleeland), Cindy Lou (Kathlynn Rodin), Missy (Alexandra Utpadel) and Suzy (Jessie Jo Pauley) – who perform at their high school’s senior prom and later again at their 10year reunion, covering over 30 classic hits like “Lollipop,” “Stupid Cupid” and “Respect.” Throughout the show, the girls face a series of obstacles – both individually and as a group – and

eventually discover they can overcome them together. Pauley, who plays Suzy, a bubbly and, as she described, “extremely likable” character, said the main message The Marvelous Wonderettes conveys is that friendship is timeless. “Something really important that Wonderettes touches on is friendship and how you create bonds with people – and even though you may go through rough times, that bond never really breaks,” Pauley said. Something that makes the play especially unique is its audience-interactive experience, Pauley said. “There is a lot of audience participation. We talk to them, we wave at them, we ask questions. There is one person, specifically, who is brought up on stage, and that’s always fun; watching everyone react to it,” she said. “You almost feel like you’re in the show with us.” The talent, itself, is also something that sets the musical apart from others, said Ashley Gennaro, The Marvelous Wonderettes’ stage manager. “They’re super talented. They worked their butts off to be on the stage. It’s four of them, and the show is them. So

they never get a break,” said Gennaro, describing the show’s quartet setup. But Gennaro said the talent is only as good as the support system that backs it. “If people aren’t supporting their local talent, then it doesn’t give it the opportunity to grow,” she explained. “It’s so important for people to support the people that are around them, especially in local areas like this.” Ultimately, Genaro hopes The Marvelous Wonderettes receives the support she said it deserves. “I hope that we see a lot of people come. It’s really a good show for all ages, and it’s super funny,” she said. “Why not come out for a day of laughter? Why not come out and enjoy friendship and value

the people in your life while watching these girls?” To purchase tickets, visit theaterworks.org/calendar/the-marvelous-wonderettes or call 623-815-7930.

Student Chronicles BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Know a student who’s doing something remarkable? Tell us about it! Email Connor Dziawura at cdziawura@ star-times.com Carrie Coates of Peoria was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation’s oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society. Coates was initiated at Texas Tech University. Coates is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10% of seniors and 7.5% of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate students in the top 10% of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction. Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann, who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: One that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the Society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is “To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others.” Cameron Deal, 17, of Peoria has been accepted and will attend Interlochen

Among the distinguished camp alumni are Norah Jones, singer Josh Groban, members of the band OK Go, Rufus Wainwright, opera and concert soprano Jessye Norman, conductor Loren Maazel, jazz pianist Eldar, actor Anthony Rapp and cartoonist Cathy Guisewite. Approximately 10% of the nation’s professional orchestra musicians have roots at Interlochen, and the alumni community has been awarded nearly 100 Grammy Awards. In addition to hundreds of performances, presentations and readings by young artists, Interlochen brings leading artists and performers to the northern Michigan campus. In recent years, guest artists have included Joshua Bell, Groban, the Decemberists, the Avett Brothers, Olga Kern, Harry Connick Jr., Trace Adkins and Branford Marsalis.

Thousands of visitors came together to release lanterns on the southeastern shores of Lake Pleasant on April 6. The annual event, in its second year, continues the longstanding tradition of lighting biodegradable lanterns to mark milestones and offer up wishes and goals while celebrating in a festive, picturesque atmosphere. Before the lanterns were released after sundown, live music, food trucks and kids’ events were featured. 1. Attendees light lanterns and videotape the tradition of releasing them. 2. Once the sun set, the time came for guests to light the biodegradable lanterns. 3. Leslie Campa, donning butterfly fairy attire, entertains guests at Pleasant Harbor. 4.

Culver’s helps FFA with Scoops of Thanks BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Students at the Delta High School FFA Chapter in Muncie, Indiana, are continuously looking for opportunities to develop their agricultural knowledge through hands-on learning. As a youth organization, this FFA chapter and the more than 8,630 others across the country work tirelessly to grow the next generation of leaders in the science, business and technology of agriculture. But funding isn’t always available to support the types of experiences that FFA chapters need to offer to their members. That’s why Scoops of Thanks Day, a fundraiser hosted at Culver’s restaurants across the country on Thursday, May 2, is so important. On May 2, guests can stop by Culver’s at 5127 N. 99th Avenue, donate

$1 to agricultural education and receive a single scoop of Fresh Frozen Custard as our way of saying thanks.

CITY OF GLENDALE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2019-20 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM (HOME) EMERGENCY SOLUTIONS GRANTS (ESG) ANNUAL ACTION PLAN The City of Glendale has developed an Annual Action Plan (AAP) that describes the proposed activities to be funded with FY 2019-20 CDBG, HOME and ESG entitlements. The AAP is part of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan covering the five years ending with FY 2019-2020 and addresses strategic implementation for Glendale. In addition, the Maricopa HOME Consortium (HOME Consortium), comprised of the Cities of Avondale, Chandler, Glendale, Peoria, Scottsdale, Surprise, and Tempe, the Town of Gilbert, and the County of Maricopa, will prepare and submit an AAP for the HOME Program. The Annual Action Plans must be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on or before May 15, 2019. The Glendale City Council intends to conduct a public hearing regarding the City’s proposed AAP at the April 23, 2019, City Council meeting, at 5:00 p.m. Maricopa County will hold a separate public hearing on the HOME Consortium’s proposed AAP. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) Glendale’s CDBG entitlement for FY 2019-20 will be approximately $2,475,175. The total amount of CDBG funding available will be used to fund eligible activities in FY 2019-20. HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIPS PROGRAM (HOME) The City of Glendale’s HOME allocation for FY 2019-20 will be approximately $718,852.

The amounts allocated in the Annual Action Plan will be adjusted proportionally based on HUD’s final allocations to the City and to the Maricopa HOME Consortium. A competitive grant application process was conducted for FY 2019-20. Certain eligible activities have been recommended for funding by the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC). These activities will meet one of the following national objectives: 24 CFR 570.208(a): Assist low- and moderate-income residents (L/M) 24 CFR 570.208(b): Aid in the prevention or elimination of slum and blight (S/B) 24 CFR 576.21(a)(3): Aid in homeless prevention, emergency shelter, street outreach, rapid rehousing, and HMIS. 24 CFR 92.205 HOME Final Rule - Assist low- and moderate-income residents with affordable housing assistance In addition, Glendale will also demonstrate compliance with the Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act, at Section 101 by certifying that not less than 70 of the funds awarded to activities will be spent for the benefit of low- and moderate-income residents.
