Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat and the Peoria City Council members celebrated the New Year with a raise. Peoria’s elected officials gave themselves a 5% raise in 2021. By unanimous vote, council approved the raises Nov. 10—part of the “consent agenda” portion of the meeting, during which “routine items” are lumped together. As such, there was no discussion about the raises. The mayor’s salary increased from $34,550 to $36,278. City council salaries were bumped from $23,033 to $24,185.

Water, sewer, garbage rates increase BY TOM SCANLON
Peoria Times Managing Editor
Some complain that city bills are like Luke Air Force Base jets: They keep going up. Indeed, those flushing 2020 away and celebrating 2021 with a glass of city water will be paying slightly more this year. As a postcard mailed to residents noted, “For the average residential customer, your total utility bill will increase by approximately 2.7% or $2.26 per month. The breakdown of monthly rate increases
are as follows: $1.09 for water and sewer (based on 3/4-inch meter and 10,000-gallon water usage); $0.92 for garbage and recycle; $0.25 for stormwater.” While paying more is hardly a cause for celebration, Peoria residents would have been paying more for months—if not for Peoria City Council action. The rate increase was originally scheduled for July 1, 2020—but council voted to delay the rate increase due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on many. And, even with the increases that took effect the first day of 2021, Peoria res-
idents still are paying less than many of their neighbors. Most Peorians will pay a new base charge of $16.46 and $1.19 per thousand gallons for the first 4,000 gallons of water, then $3.16 per thousand gallons up to 10,000. And most residents are now paying a sewer/wastewater base charge of $9.93 plus $2.17 per thousand gallons of flushed water. Garbage and recycling costs for resiSEE UTILITIES PAGE 6

Feb. 4, 2020, and after a presentation by Christine Nickel of the Human Resources Department agreed to make the recommendation of raises to city council. City council, in accordance with the city charter, must either accept or reject the commission’s recommendations. Council could have voted to exceed the 5% increase—but that would require a resolution to be prepared to refer the matter to the voters. In 2018, council voted for a 5% raise that took effect in 2019.
Peoria is in the middle of its neighbors in elected official salaries. Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers is paid $48,000—nearly a third more than neighbor Carlat. Members of Glendale City Council are paid $34,000—a whopping 40% more than Peoria’s council of Vicki Hunt, Bill Patena, Bridget Binsbacher, Michael Finn, Denette Dunn and Jon Edwards. Glendale voters overwhelmingly rejected a 2019 request of hefty raises for the city’s politicians. Peoria politicians are also paid far
less than those in Phoenix, by far the state’s largest city with a population of 1.6 million, which pays its mayor $87,998 annually. Phoenix City Council members are paid $61,599 per year. But, compared to Goodyear, the Peoria elected officials are living large. Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord is paid $23,000 per year. The new salary for Goodyear City Council members is $12,000—half of Peoria’s. Avondale, with a population of 84,000, pays its council members $8,905 per year.
Police make arrest after fatal shooting BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF After a Jan. 3 shooting left a 19-yearold dead, Peoria police officers arrested David Sanchez, a Peoria resident. Sanchez, also 19, was booked into the Maricopa County Jail with a first-degree murder charge. He is charged with killing Nathaniel D. Fowler. The fatal shooting took place before 10 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 3, near 8000 N. 87th Drive. The shooting location is near Peoria Crossings on Northern and 91st avenues and less than a mile from Raymond S. Kellis High School. A 911 caller reported hearing an argument and gunshots. Responding officers found a man down in the street with apparent gunshot wounds. Fowler died at the scene, said Amanda Gaines of the Peoria Police Department. “Officers were able to identify a house nearby that the suspect or suspects entered and were eventually able to detain multiple individuals,” Gaines said. “This incident appears to be isolated between these individuals who appear to be known to each other, and there are no outstanding suspects.” She said detectives are investigating the fatal shooting and urge anyone with information to call 623-773-8311. In his booking information, Sanchez is listed as being 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing 135 pounds.

New guidance urges classroom learning BY TOM SCANLON
Peoria Times Managing Editor
A New Year begins with school districts struggling with a divisive question: to close classrooms or not to close? Arizona’s COVID-19 cases per 100,000 population soared to 112, the highest in the country, according to CDC data released Tuesday, Jan. 5. Arizona’s rate was nearly double the national average. And, as of Dec. 31, Glendale and Peoria ZIP codes were all above 500 cases per 100,000 in the last seven days, indicating a “substantial” level of COVID-19 risk. While previous guidance from public health officials was to close classrooms and have online teaching in communities with substantial spread, officials now urge districts to have students in classrooms. The guidance appears somewhat conflicting.
After returning to classes with masks required in the fall, students at Copper Creek Elementary School and other DVUSD students begin the New Year with classrooms closed due to COVID-19 and online learning only. (Photo courtesy
For public schools in the West Valley, the Maricopa County school metrics show an overall risk level of “substantial” and “recommended learning scenario” of “virtual with onsite support.” But, according to guidance updated Dec. 31, “Maricopa County Department of Public and Arizona Department of Health Services have agreed to support those jurisdictions who are able to maintain a safe learning environment with regular school-by-school monitoring, regardless of levels of community COVID-19 transmission. “Further, with the recent publications emphasizing the benefits of in-person learning, particularly for elementary schools, and the emerging data indicating that in-person school attendance is not a risk factor for youth testing positive for COVID-19, MCDPH recommends preferentially keeping elementary and middle schools open for in-person learning.” SEE GUIDANCE PAGE 5

GUIDANCE FROM PAGE 4
The new guidelines came after many school districts decided to close classrooms. Like many public school districts in the West Valley, Glendale Elementary School District began 2021 with classrooms closed and learning online only. “This week, all three benchmarks in our GESD zip codes continue to be in the Substantial category. GESD will remain in full remote learning and working when we return from winter break,” according to a Dec. 31 GESD post on Facebook. Similarly, according to a Glendale Union High School District post, “Students will resume remote learning from home on Tuesday, Jan. 5.” And Deer Valley Unified School District also begins the New Year with classrooms closed. According to a Jan. 3 DVUSD Facebook post, “We can’t wait to see all of our students and staff back in class (Jan. 4) to kick off learning in 2021 together! Don’t forget all DVUSD students will be returning virtually.” But the Peoria Unified School District classrooms are open this week, after the district’s governing board voted to keep classrooms open after winter break “regardless of data.” A Dec. 31 update shows PUSD’s three benchmarks remain “in the red” for the third consecutive week.
The cases per 100,000 in the PUSD community rose from 584 the previous week to 698. At GESD, according to a post by Superintendent Cindy Segotta-Jones on the district’s website and Facebook page, “the earliest projected date for a return to school in the hybrid model is Monday, Feb. 1.” For more information, visit gesd40. org. According to the Arizona Department of Health Services, the school benchmarks were developed “at the request of the education community as a guide to help school districts determine when it is safe to return to in-person instruction.” “The experiences of other countries have indicated that reopening schools may be lower risk in communities with lower community transmission,” according to the schools COVID-19 website. Meanwhile, school nurses and other school health care personnel are eligible for the first phase of COVID-19 vaccinations, which began in mid-December. The bottom line, according to the county and state: “The health, safety and well-being of students, teachers, staff, and their families are the most important considerations in determining when schools can open for in-per-

son learning.”
COVID-19 accelerates
Arizona began December with 326,817 COVID-19 reported cases in the previous nine months and ended the month and year with 520,027 total cases. The 193,210 coronavirus cases in December was 60% of the total during the other nine months.
Maricopa County started December with 205,522 total COVID-19 cases the previous nine months and ended the month and year with 322,449 cases. The 116,927 county coronavirus cases was 57% of the total during the previous nine months. The first five days of 2021, Arizona reported nearly 50,000 new COVID-19 cases—30,000 in Maricopa County.
APS pledges to help customers BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF
Last year, Arizona Public Service Company (APS) suspended late fees and disconnections for nonpayment from March through December. APS also distributed almost $9 million via a special Customer Support Fund that provided one-time bill credits of up to $300 for residential customers and $1,000 for small businesses. “Our pandemic bill relief programs have assisted more than 65,000 customers in 2020 to help those impacted by COVID-19 get back on their feet,” said Monica Whiting, APS chief customer officer. She said APS will continue to waive late fees for residential and business customers through Oct. 15. Beginning with January bills, APS will automatically place residential customers with past due balances of $75 or more on an eight-month payment plan. Limited-income customers on the APS Energy Support or Energy Support with Medical programs with past due balances of any amount received a one-time credit prior to the payment arrangement. The credit will be $250 or the total balance, whichever is lower. APS is making its limited-income bill discount programs available to more people by expanding the income qualification from 150% of the federal poverty level to 200%. More than 71,000 limited-income customers are currently enrolled and receive a bill discount each month. “We encourage customers who have struggled to stay current with their bills, or who need longer than the
eight-month automatic arrangement, to contact us so we can help them bring their accounts back into good standing over time,” Whiting said. “We also can connect them to utility bill assistance programs, energy efficiency programs and service plan options that may help reduce future bills. We are genuinely here to work with our customers and provide help and support.” Bill assistance programs available to qualified customers include: • Energy Support programs: Limited-income customers receive a bill discount each month—25% for APS Energy Support and 35% for Energy Support with Medical. • Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP): Community Action Programs and other designated local providers offer federal programs to assist with energy bills. • APS Crisis Bill Assistance: Up to $800 annually is available to help qualified limited-income customers with their APS bills if they are experiencing unexpected financial hardship such as a high medical bill or loss of a job. • Project SHARE: The Salvation Army administers the Service to Help Arizonans with Relief on Energy program, which provides up to $300 annually in emergency energy bill assistance to those facing financial hardship. • Location-based support: Customers can connect to special COVID-19 relief programs based on where they live through 211 Arizona.

dents per month are now $16.21. In Glendale, the water base charge is $12 with a $3.40-per-thousand-gallons-of-water usage rate up to 6,000. So, while Peoria residents pay a higher base charge for water, they are paying roughly a third of what Glendale water users pay for the first 4,000 gallons. And Glendale residents pay $11.40 monthly for sewer/wastewater service, plus a $4.37-per-thousand-gallon use rate. Goodyear and Buckeye both have far higher utility rates than Glendale, so Peoria is paying far less than its West Valley southern neighbors. Surprise and Mesa are also quite a bit more expensive for water, sewer and
garbage than Peoria. Avondale, Scottsdale and Tempe combined utility charges are similar to Peoria’s.
Average costs
According to Kristina Perez, a Peoria spokeswoman, “The majority of our residents have a three-quarter inch meter and use an average of 10,000 gallons of water and 8,000 gallons for sewer.” In 2020, the average customer currently paid monthly charges totaling around $85: • Water, $39.47 (plus taxes and fees). • Sewer, $26.91. • Garbage and recycling, $15.29. • Stormwater, $1.25.

Still cheaper than Glendale
Even with the increases, Glendale remains solidly in the middle of the pack, when compared to neighboring cities’ utility rates. Glendale utilities are far cheaper than Goodyear and Buckeye, about the same as Phoenix—and more expensive than Peoria, Avondale and Scottsdale, according to a city presentation. But another “rate study”—which, for most cities, equates to “rate increase”—is on the way. According to the meeting minutes, at a Dec. 17 workshop for the Glendale Utility Commission, financial administrator Dan Hatch “gave an educational presentation on the financial
planning process in preparation for the upcoming rate study.” The department’s mission statement: “The Water Department provides customers with safe, reliable, high quality water, wastewater and storm water services to ensure the health, vitality and sustainability of our community.” Meanwhile, a recent city of Goodyear presentation (Goodyear is looking at raising utility rates over five years) showed Peoria water rates are neck and neck with Avondale for the lowest in the West Valley. Glendale, Surprise, Goodyear and Buckeye water rates were all far higher than Peoria’s.

Rally after the ‘things fall apart’ 2020 year BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist
Sometimes he has a good day, his mind clicking like it used to, and our phone conversations take us back in time. To the Christmas he and my mother bought me a Huffy with high handlebars and a banana seat, or to the snowy day in 1973 when we bundled up and headed to Shea Stadium and watched O.J. Simpson weave through the Jets defense all afternoon, becoming the first man in NFL history to run for 2,000 yards in a football season. “Yeeeahhh,” my father says in that unique way of his, a touch of the Bronx returning to his voice. “That was really something.” That it was, though no more so than our chat: a renewed connection with the man my father once was, before Parkinson’s began to devour him physically and dementia began its evil subtraction. We stay on the phone longer on those
days, reminisce a little more, because that’s one of the lessons I’ve learned from 2020, our toughest year in decades, but also 366 days full of teaching. Like: Never forget the value of a moment, an interval, one day. Because who’s to say when the next good moment will arrive? Maybe it shows up 24 hours later. Or maybe that’s all you get. What else has 2020 taught us? There’s the concept of essentialness when it comes to work. We have all sorts of metrics available to grade the value of a career: the qualifications necessary to hold a position, the years of school, the plaudits on a resume. Some people compare salaries and bennies. Others, the fame a career delivers. This year, I’ve taken to wondering what life would be like if all the practitioners of a skill set disappeared. What if no one delivered the mail anymore? What if no one stocked the grocery shelves? What if we had no nurses, no respiratory therapists, no paramedics? What if every cop quit? If 2020 has done little positive, it has expanded our vision, helped us to see

those workers around us who before managed to escape our sight. Not every lesson has been such a blessing, of course. This year and its nuclear winter of an election cycle revealed still more about the poisonous nature of this nation’s politics. Neither party escaped stain; both sides conducted themselves with all the honor and dignity of a Hollywood psycho villain. A little bit of math underscores how adrift we are: About 250 million Americans were eligible to vote in 2020. Roughly 81 million cast a vote for Team Biden versus 74 million for Team Trump. The other 95 million of us couldn’t be bothered to show up. Recent polling says 82% of Trump voters—an estimated 60 million people—believe Joe Biden’s win was illegitimate. What does it say about the state of democracy when nearly half the country stays home on Election Day or votes
and thinks the whole thing was “fake news” regardless? Here, I’ll get fancy and quote the poet Yeats: “Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold/Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.” Let’s hope “The Second Coming” was fiction, not prediction. For a saving grace, time and again 2020 has pointed us toward love. It’s a lesson taught to me over and over this year by the girl with the golden copper hair. There is no explaining how she does it, or why: how she keeps loving so fiercely against such odds, why she keeps warming my iceberg heart. But she has, does, and that is my miracle of 2020 and the best lesson of all. Keep showing up, keep caring, loving. Eventually the worst ends up behind us.

Winter high school sports to begin after delay BY ERIC NEWMAN
Peoria Times Staff Writer
Following its final emergency meeting before the winter break, the Arizona Interscholastic Association approved an official starting date of Jan. 18 for winter competition. This date comes after about a two-week delay, as the AIA had initially announced a starting date of Jan. 5 but postponed competition due to COVID-19 numbers in Arizona. AIA playoffs are still set to happen for winter sports, but teams are not able to compete in regular tournaments or invitationals during the regular season. Tentative plans are for no spectators for basketball or wrestling as indoor sports. Soccer crowds will likely be limited. AIA Executive Director David Hines said the starting date of Jan. 18 will stand

son as back-to-back 5A state champions. The Tigers defeated Sunrise Mountain 59-30 in the 2020 championship game and are led by first-year head coach Kevin Thomas. Kassidy Dixon, a Grand Canyon University commit, is the team’s returning scoring and emotional leader. Sunrise Mountain reached the 5A championship game for the first time last season and recorded a 26-5 record. Coach Jenn Tolle leads the Mustangs, who lost just two seniors from last year’s team. Julie Diveney is the Mustangs’ leading scorer (11.8) from last season.
Boys’ basketball
Ironwood boasted a 28-2 record and won its first 5A title last season under coach Jordan Augustine. Seniors Bailon Black (12.8) and JJ White (12.7) are the top returning scorers and team captains as the Eagles attempt to repeat as champions. Trivium Prep, Peoria and Millennium finished the 2019-20 season as runners-up in 2A, 4A and 5A. Peoria sophomore Andrew Camacho was one of the state’s top freshmen last season after averaging 14.7 points per game.
Girls’ soccer
Millennium High finished 13-3-1 and reached the 5A quarterfinals, after fin-
ishing as runners-up the year before. Trivium Prep reached the 3A semifinals before bowing out. Estrella Foothills’ Cassidy Sims (19) and Jami O’brien (15) led 4A freshmen in goals in 2019-20.
Boys’ soccer
Washington won the 4A championship last season with a last-minute goal to defeat Arcadia 2-1 in the title game. The Rams will try to repeat that success under coach Adam Roberts. Also in 4A, Thunderbird senior goalkeeper David De Haro led the conference in saves (158) as a junior. Ironwood and Sunrise Mountain reached the 5A semifinals in 2019-20. Both teams return several contributors to last year’s postseason runs. Copper Canyon returns nine seniors from last season’s 6A quarterfinal team under first-year coach Brian Buttler. However, it is uncertain when and if the Tolleson Union High School District teams will be allowed to play, after TUHSD canceled most of fall’s sports seasons.
Wrestling
Liberty returns to 2020-21 as defending champions, after winning the Division 1 team title for the second consecutive season.

5 reasons to support small businesses BY SCOT ANDREWS
Peoria Chamber of Commerce CEO
The strength of a building is in its foundation. The same is true with small business in a community. In Peoria, if our small businesses are healthy and prospering, jobs, schools and lifestyle are unique, healthy and burgeoning. Here are five reasons supporting our small-business community with dollars is insurance for a great local lifestyle, economy and overall quality of life. Originality and cultural character The uniqueness and personality of local businesses is a reflection of the beliefs, hopes and dreams of the owners and community in which they live.

You might be saying to yourselves, “Ed, what does the title of this article mean?” It’s easy. This year be positive in your attitude and outlook. Be negative in your COVID-19 test. This last year has been challenging for all of us. There was no 20/20 vision in 2020 like so many predicted. The velocity and frequency of the change have most people unsettled. No one is sure if these changes are for the better or the worse. Many people feel like they are passengers in the back seat of a car and someone they don’t know or trust is driving them to places they may not want to go. They can’t reach the steering wheel to turn things around. And the driver seems to have moral and ethical issues, economic death wishes and an affinity for cliffhanging.
senses. He humbled himself. Then God restored him to his previous position. That’s good news for us. God can restore us, and God can restore our nation if we get off the throne and let God be God. But most kings and countries eventually refuse to allow God to be in control. They refuse to humble themselves. They become like shooting stars. They are bright and shiny, streaking across the sky for a moment, and then burn up. My friends realize that God has things under control. The big picture is in God’s hands. God is driving the car, and God is not lost. That doesn’t mean we don’t get involved or do nothing. Do what you can and leave the results to God. Do your utmost for God’s highest, and always trust God. Here are some predictions for 2021 you can count on: 1. Prayer will still work. 2. The Bible will still have truthful and right answers. 3. The Holy Spirit will still move. 4. God will still inhabit the praises of His people. 5.

ways does, and that is driving the car. History is His story, not their story. Every leader or follower could benefit from what Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, learned long ago. The prophet Daniel enlightens us about God and how God works with us humans. “The Most High God granted sovereignty, grandeur, glory and majesty to Nebuchadnezzar. And because of the grandeur which God bestowed on him, all the peoples, nations and men of every language feared and trembled before him. “But when Nebuchadnezzar became so proud that he behaved arrogantly, he was deposed from his royal throne. Nebuchadnezzar’s glory and position were taken away from him until he recognized that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of humanity and that God sets over it whomever He wishes.” Let me paraphrase. God allowed Nebuchadnezzar to drive the car. He abused it then lost it. After learning some challenging but enlightening lessons about who is in control, Nebuchadnezzar came to his

Do I have your attention? Maybe I can make the ride a little easier for you. Firstly, realize that no matter what it feels or looks like, God is in control. God alone determines the big picture. Yes, there is the smaller “day-to-day” or “year-to-year” picture, like who is elected or which direction society is going. Don’t lose your peace over the small picture. Look at the big picture. Leaders, institutions, philosophies, and countries who were once large and in charge are now in ruins or just a shadow of who they once were. That’s what happens to a country or leadership that marginalizes God. The Scriptures say in Proverbs 21:1: “The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord; He turns it wherever He wants.” The Message translation says it this way: “Good leadership is a channel of water controlled by God; He directs it to whatever ends He chooses.” Throughout history, ego-driven leaders thought they would determine the big picture. They thought they were driving the car. However, God was doing what God al-

There will still be God-inspired messages spoken by God-inspired people. 6. God will still meet the needs of His people. 7. God will make a way where there seems to be no way. 8. There will still be room at the cross. 9. God will cause all things to work together for good. 10. Jesus will always love you, no matter what. Here is a resolution for 2021. But remember, resolutions are like babies crying in a play; they need to be carried out! When you’re sitting in the back seat of the car and don’t know where you are going, resolve to have self-control. George Bernard Shaw said: “Self-control is the quality that distinguishes the fittest to survive.” In the movie

God will cause all things to work together for good, even the worst things imaginable.

Mandatory vaccinations for teachers may be possible BY CECILIA CHAN and PAUL MARYNIAK Peoria Times Staff Writers
As teachers inch toward the head of the line to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, it begs the question: Can school districts mandate inoculations? The Arizona School Risk Retention Trust says the answer is yes. “School districts may require employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition of on-site work, subject to exemptions required by state and/or federal law,” reads a legal memo prepared for the nonprofit Trust. The Trust, which provides more than public school districts and community colleges with property and liability insurance, also advised districts to consult with their own attorneys on legal issues related to any vaccination requirement. The first batches of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines arrived in Arizona in mid-December for dosing those 16 and older. Health care workers and long-term care facility staff and residents are among the first to receive the vaccine, to be followed by teachers, law enforcement and other critical workers. Other groups of individuals are farther down the line. Any guidance from health officials, however, may be a long time coming. Maricopa County spokesman Ron Coleman said the issue of mandatory shots for teachers isn’t on the agenda any time soon for the Board of Supervisors to consider. School districts generally have been following state and county COVID-19 health guidelines. Coleman noted that when it would come to an inoculation mandate for staff, district officials probably would be making the call. “Local school boards generally have governing jurisdiction over their schools,” said Coleman, adding the
county is following guidelines set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Spokeswoman Heidi Vega of the Arizona School Boards Association agreed that it is up to individual districts to decide. “We believe currently it is a local district decision whether to require teachers and/or staff be vaccinated as a condition of working, so long as exceptions are made for medical reasons and accommodations under the ADA,” Vega said. “We would represent the interests of ASBA at the Legislature to keep this local authority,” she added. School districts that choose to require mandatory vaccinations must first create a process where employees can apply for an exemption based on an ADA disability or a sincerely held religious belief, barring undue hardship to a district, according to the memo. If a district cannot exempt an employee or there are no possible reasonable accommodations—such as working from home for those who claim a disability or religious belief—“it would be lawful for the employer to exclude the employee from the workplace,” the Trust advises. However, “this doesn’t mean the employer may automatically terminate the worker,” the memo stated. “Employers will need to determine if any other rights apply under the Equal Employment Opportunity laws or other federal, state and local authorities.” The Trust’s December memo also weighed in on mandatory vaccination for students, advising that school districts should first seek guidance from the Arizona Department of Health Services before moving forward on that. “It is unclear whether a school district may require students to be vaccinated against COVID-19 without specific au-
thorization from ADHS or a local health department,” the memo said. “State law indicates that ADHS, in conjunction with the superintendent of public instruction, is responsible for developing documentary proof standards for evidence of vaccination.” The memo also noted that at this time, the state health department has indicated there were no plans to revise the regulations regarding required immunizations for students. And because none of the available vaccines are approved for children 16 and younger, it may be some time before schools would need to consider whether to require all students to be immunized, according to the memo. Asked if the state Health Services De-
partment will make a COVID-19 vaccination mandatory for students once a vaccine becomes available for them, spokeswoman Holly Poynter said her department “will continue to monitor the recommendations issued by the (CDC’s) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices as the data is updated.” The Arizona Department of Education for now has no position on mandatory COVID-19 vaccination for students like for measles and mumps before enrolling in school, according to spokesman Richie Taylor. “To my knowledge, the vaccines being administered now have not been approved for use in children,” he said, adding that the department will await guidance from health officials.

OBITUARIES
Gladys B. Froke Gladys Bertha Froke, age 92, passed away peacefully on December 5, 2020. She was born April 2, 1928 to Andrew and Sophia Drovdal in Peever, South Dakota. She was raised on a farm and enjoyed her chore of taking care of the chickens as a young girl. She had eight siblings, all of whom have passed. Gladys attended Summit High School and soon after met and married the love of her life, Leonard (Bud) Froke who preceded her in death in 1998. She was creative on many levels which showed through her quilting, sewing, decorating, flower gardens, and entertaining family and friends. She made the best meals and was known for her delicious baked goods. For Gladys, it was the simple things in life - like a cup of black coffee and a cookie - that made her day. She was passionate about helping the homeless. After her kids were grown, she began a ministry to feed the homeless at Bethel Lutheran Church and later continued that ministry at New Life Community Church. Her giving nature and passion for helping people impacted so many. Gladys loved people and people loved her. She made friends wherever she went and retained those friendships through the years of her life. She was known for her love, joy, hugs, laughter, and grateful spirit. Not to mention, she always brought smiles with her quick wit and funny jokes.
