Defense of Trump lands Lesko on TV BY TOM SCANLON

Peoria Times Managing Editor

NEWS..............3

Though she insists she is enraged by the Democrat-led impeachment of President Donald Trump, the process has been a publicity boon for Rep. Debbie Lesko, the Republican who represents District 8. Last week was a huge one for Lesko, who lives in Peoria. It started Monday, Jan. 20, when Lesko received a call from the White House. She learned she was one of eight members of Congress selected for Trump’s impeachment defense team. (The others were Reps. Jim Jordan, John Ratcliffe, Mike Johnson, Mark Meadows, Lee Zeldin, Elise Stefanik and Doug Collins.)

“I’m very honored,” Lesko said, from her Surprise office. Friday afternoon, she appeared calm and relaxed, laughing frequently as she reflected on a strange, busy week. “My life is a little surreal,” she said with a chuckle. On Jan. 22, Lesko appeared on “Hannity,” which has been the most-watched show on cable news. Lesko’s 90-year-old mother, who lives in Youngtown, was not one of the 4 million viewers. “She doesn’t have cable,” Lesko said, again laughing. “She’s frugal.” Lekso was also on “CBS Evening News,” another national TV show, Monday, Jan.

Recycling is becoming more expensive for cities, which must pay workers to sort through materials for contamination. (Photo courtesy city of Glendale)

Recycling for area residents has become more complicated than simply throwing materials into the bin and rolling it curbside with little thought. With recent sanctions on recyclable materials and ever-changing rules and regulations on what can be reused and sold to manufacturers, cities in the West Valley have had to change their own procedures and spend more time educating the public. Materials are taken from the homes of recyclers, brought to a material recovery facility, or MRF, then sorted by conveyor belt. Workers sift through the potentially recyclable materials and dispose of the

contaminated items or otherwise non-acceptable. The non-recyclables are transported to landfills with other solid waste from regular garbage pickup, while the recyclables are baled and transported to manufacturers. In years past, recyclables were transported out of the country in large portions, especially to China. However, the Chinese have made drastic changes to their collection of items like newspaper. Recently, the country stopped allowing many recyclables due to contamination of materials. “Contamination was overlooked for many years because China overlooked it,” said Peoria Public Works Director Kevin SEE RECYCLING PAGE 7

27. Her mother may have seen that, as CBS doesn’t require cable. But her mother missed Hannity’s introduction: “Joining us now, two members of president’s legal team, New York Congressman Lee Zeldin and Arizona Congresswoman Debbie Lesko … You guys deserve more pay to have to sit through the Schumer-Schiff sham show.” Lesko was thus served up to offer her commentary about the beginning of the Senate impeachment trial. “Watching this today is just like reliving the nightmare in the House,” she said. “I just can’t believe the audacity of these Democrats. The way they lie and carry on, the hypocrisy is beyond belief.” She summarized the whole process, from the House to the Senate, as a “political hit job. That’s all it is. It’s disgusting. Quite frankly, sickening.” Lesko was in a Phoenix production studio for “Hannity” and her sameday appearance on “Fox News at Night,” when she was interviewed by Shannon Bream.

Michael Muscato, who said he will run against Rep. Debbie Lesko, called Lesko’s comments defending President Donald Trump “an embarrassment.” (Photo courtesy Michale Muscato)

Lesko aggressively defended Trump for months. She learned her appearances on national TV lead many to give her thoughts or thumbs-up — meanwhile, others used foul language to describe how they feel about her. After her “Hannity” appearance,

What To Do When Your Back Pain Has Not Gone Away… By Leading Physical Therapist, Nick Hunter Many of my patients who experience low back pain tell me that, initially, they thought it was only a minor issue but as it worsened over time, they had no clue what was still causing them suffer. Unfortunately, people often suffer much longer than they should because of this confusion. Statistics show that at least 8 out of 10 people will suffer from a bad back during their lifetime. Chances are, if you’ve suffered from low back pain for longer than 17 days, it simply isn’t going to go away on its own. Seeking help from a physical therapist (instead of resting and taking pain killers) will give you the permanent relief that is needed. Will you choose to suffer needlessly and risk greater injury because you won’t ask for help? As you are probably aware, muscle and strength loss is a normal progression of aging. As we reach the age of 40 (and especially above), the strong lower back that we had when we were younger just isn’t the same anymore. But seeking help immediately will guarantee that the pain will cease quickly, so you don’t have to suffer for years to come. Are you willing to continue to cope with back pain that stops you from making memories with your loved-ones or participating in your favorite activities? OR… Will you choose to take action NOW and start living your life free of pain?

Twitter user Jlane03323668 stated, “Debbie Lesko said it exactly right! Thank you for fighting for Americans.” Cher47, on the other hand, put Lesko on her “who to get out of office this year” list. And Barry Winters (@AZsilvertip) proclaimed, “Lesko is an intellectual twit. I have to suffer her uselessness as I live in the district she claims to represent. She doesn’t and has produced not to benefit anybody. A brain dead Trump sycophant.” Lesko said she avoids the electronic free-for-all. “I don’t look at the comments on Facebook and Twitter,” she said. “I don’t have the time. “And it’s not good for the soul.” But she does post herself. Her “four facts still haven’t changed: Transcript shows NO link between aid & investigations; Aid was released WITHOUT commitment to new investigations; Ukraine didn’t know aid was withheld at the time of the July 25 call; @realDonaldTrump & Zelensky agree there was NO pressure” tweet last week was retweeted 4,000 times, with more than 12,000 likes.” Lesko said more people are recognizing her in the real world, and laughed at

January 30, 2020

the hearty reaction she got when checking out at a Glendale furniture store. One person not amused by Lesko’s big week: Michael Muscato, who said he will run against Lesko for the District 8 seat. “Ms. Lesko has been my representative for one-third of my entire life,” Muscato said. “Watching the representative of our families and our children continue to heckle fellow members of Congress and refer to serious government proceedings as a ‘sham’ is nothing shy of embarrassing for our state and our country. It’s beneath the office which she holds and it doesn’t represent the hard-working, patriotic, and genuinely good people of our hometown. “Her celebration of and actions as a member of the ‘Impeachment Team’ shows she isn’t running for re-election on solutions to solve our problems, ideas to help fix them, or by fighting for us. She is relying on the president’s coattails to fund her campaign, elevate her profile, and win re-election.” Indeed, if her passionate defense of Trump somehow costs her an election, how would Lesko feel? “I would not have done anything differently,” she said. “This is what I believe in.”

Peoria City Council last week paved the way for more paving: More roads, more homes. Before getting down to the heavy business of writing checks and approving developments, at its Jan. 21 meeting, council honored the state champion Liberty High football team. According to a proclamation, “Coach Mark Smith led the program to its first state title in school history. While their season was met with many challenges and close games, the team lived up to its motto ‘Leave No Doubt’ by winning the state championship game in overtime.” Council also proclaimed January as “Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life Month,” acknowledging the youth program aimed at preventing teen suicides (see story, page 26). Later in the Jan. 21 meeting, council approved paying Nesbitt Contracting $4 million for two road projects. A $2.1 million repaving is for the communities of Foxwood 1 and 2 and Sweetwater Ridge 1, 2, and 3, bounded by 72nd Drive to 75th Avenue, Cactus Road to Sweetwater Avenue and 71st Avenue to 75th Avenue from Sweetwater Avenue north to Thunderbird Road. According to agenda material, “The project will consist of edge milling and roadway profiling to facilitate a smooth surface and strong bond. This ‘mill and overlay’ will provide a smooth riding surface, reduce ongoing maintenance costs and increase the pavement life cycle of treated roads.” Those who drive on Bell Road can expect delays, as Peoria City Council also approved just under $2 million for Bell Road from the Loop 101 west to the city limit. The Bell Road project is “to repair and restore this road to excellent condition and extend its functional life cycle.” Council passed both paving projects and a housing project unanimously. Christopher Todd Communities is to be a 189-home gated community on 18 acres at 83rd and Olive avenues. The Old Town Peoria location is onehalf mile from Peoria City Hall.

Peoria man sentenced to 12 years for child exploitation BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced last week Joseph Charles Nolan, 51, of Peoria, was sentenced to 12 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections for sexual exploitation of a minor. “Predators may try and hide behind the internet, but anyone who sexually exploits children will be aggressively prosecuted by our office,” said Brnovich. In March of 2016, investigators with the Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Tucson identified a computer from the Phoenix metropolitan area sharing video files containing graphic depictions of child sexual exploitation online through a peer-to-peer file-trading network. Investigators traced the computer to an apartment in Peoria and passed the tip to the Phoenix HSI Office for follow-up. HSI agents tracked Nolan to a second apartment in Peoria, where they executed

a search warrant on Nov. 3, 2016. In a post-arrest interview, Nolan admitted he lived alone in the first apartment during the time the Tucson-based agents downloaded the exploitative images from his computer. Agents searching Nolan’s apartment located a Toshiba laptop and two external storage drives, upon which forensic analysis later found images and videos of child sexual exploitation. Analysis also showed peer-to-peer file-sharing software was installed on the computer during the time the Tucson-based agents downloaded the images from his computer. Nolan pleaded guilty to two felony counts, each involving an image of a girl estimated to be less than 13-years-old. Nolan will begin a term of lifetime probation upon his release from the Arizona Department of Corrections in approximately Sept. 2030. Nolan will also be required to register as a sex offender when he is released.

“Child exploitation investigations are one of HSI’s highest priorities because children remain vulnerable to online abuse and are deserving of our protection and concern,” said Scott Brown, special agent in charge for HSI Phoenix. “While many of these perpetrators attempt to shield their illegal activities and hide behind their keyboards, HSI and their law enforcement partners will continue efforts to locate them and bring them to justice.”

City of Peoria soon to award about $1.2 million in grants BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF This week was the deadline for proposals for $1.2 million in city of Peoria grants for the 2020-21 fiscal year. The not-for-Profit grants include Community Development Block Grants (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Programs and the city’s General Fund grants, said Jaime Gonzalez, Peoria’s Community Assistance coordinator. According to the city’s website, “In general, these programs were designed to assist low- and moderate-income citizens with a broad range of services including housing assistance, family services, domestic violence shelter, disabled services and transportation services to name a few.” Gonzalez said the city expected the following amounts: • CDBG, $850,000. • HOME, $220,000. • General Fund, $241,500. “We anticipate receiving approximately 10 proposals for CDBG/ HOME, and approximately 40 for General Fund,” said Gonzalez. Proposals will be reviewed by city staff in February, with recommendations provided to Peoria City Council in May. Contracts will begin in July.

DVUSD board will soon vote on new boundaries BY TOM SCANLON

Peoria Times Managing Editor

After tabling the issue at its Jan. 14, then giving it further study at a Jan. 21 special meeting, the Deer Valley Unified School District governing board was scheduled to vote on new high school boundaries Tuesday, Jan. 28. (The Tuesday meeting took place after Peoria Time’s print deadlines.) Several from Arrowhead Ranch near Peoria in north Glendale are not happy about the expected changes. Thomas Cramer, president of Arrowhead Ranch Phase One Homeowners Association, sent a letter to the DVUSD board Jan. 24. (A copy of the letter was forwarded to the Peoria Times.) “The directors and homeowners of Arrowhead Ranch Phase One wish to express their strong opposition to the redistricting of the school boundaries which would cause our High School students to attend Deer Valley instead of Mountain Ridge High School,” Cramer wrote. “Arrowhead Ranch opened Mountain Ridge and helped make it an A+ school. Our homeowners/parents have chosen our neighborhood based on it being in the Mountain Ridge boundary and to change it after 25 years should not be an option. “Shifting our kids to a much lower-performing school is unacceptable.” The HOA president noted Mountain Ridge High School is rated the No. 48 school in Arizona, nearly 100 places higher than Deer Valley High. “Our 1,530 homeowners and their families are in overwhelming opposition to this proposed move and would like the board to consider a different option,” Cramer wrote. The district’s Jan. 21 presentation stated the high school boundary changes are necessary to “provide for a sustainable balanced projected enrollment over all five high school campuses,” and “delay the need for a high school number six.” Vocal opposition from Arrowhead Ranch at several meetings apparently delayed the decisions. “The high school boundary decision was tabled on Jan. 14 to be able to pro-

vide more information to our Governing Board and to allow more input from the community,” said Jim Migliorino, deputy superintendent of DVUSD’s Fiscal and Business Services. However, when asked if any modifications to the proposed changes were made since Jan 14, Migliorino said:: “No changes have been made to what was proposed.” The Jan. 21 study session included this information on the slide “Proposed High School Boundary Changes”: Deer Valley High School • Increase attendance area on western boundary. Mountain Ridge High School • Increase attendance area on northern boundary. • Decrease attendance area on southern boundary. On its website, the district noted, “Current open-enrolled students in high school will not need to reapply to continue attending their current high school. “In addition, all current high school students will be allowed to continue at the high school where they are currently attending.” More detail was provided at the Jan. 21 study session: “High school boundary changes will be effective for the 2020-21 school year, allowing current attending students to continue at their current (2019-20) designated high school through graduation as well as 2019-20 eighth graders and their siblings to be able to continue at their current (2019-20) designated high school through graduation, per a Transitional Plan to be developed and approved by the superintendent. “Transportation services will be provided for these students until June of 2022.” The presentation stressed that, though they may be difficult, the changes are necessary. “Transition to new school attendance areas, while necessary, is never easy. Encouraging social/scholastic continuity, providing students with un-crowded facilities and exercising fiscal responsibility are competing but essential goals.”

Arizona lawmakers urged to reform criminal justice system BY JONMAESHA BELTRAN Cronkite News

Criminal reform advocates are asking Arizona legislators to change laws keeping hundreds of formerly incarcerated people from voting and getting jobs. Dozens of activists reached out to lawmakers at the Arizona Capitol in mid-January as part of a movement they call Reforming Justice, saying current laws hobble people who have already served their time. Clyde Hardin, 38, a tattoo artist who spent 10½ years behind bars for armed robbery, said he has applied for dozens of jobs. Time and again, the father of three marked the question on applications asking whether he was ever convicted felon. By the 89th application, he said, he lied to get a job bussing dishes in a restaurant. “Every application they have to sign, they have that damn box. Every employment, every housing, they have that damn box. You have to strike it, you have to say, ‘Yeah I’m a convicted felon, but

let me explain …’” said Hardin, who was one of several advocates who met with Secretary of State Katie Hobbs on voting rights. Hobbs listened to Hardin and others discusseing restoring voting rights, saying she appreciated their statements, but did not commit to specific action. Advocates are pushing for the Legislature to model reforms after the Clean Slate Act, recently passed in Pennsylvania, it seals some criminal records. Rep. Walter Blackman, R-Snowflake, also plans to sponsor a bill to allow prison inmates to be released early from their sentences based on earned credits,

Smitten with These

according to Tiera Rainey, program coordinator for the Arizona branch of the American Friends Service Committee, which advocates for criminal reform. Matthew Charles, a former Tennessee inmate who gained national attention when celebrity Kim Kardashian lobbied President Donald Trump to free him, spoke of trying to become a productive member of society and still has trouble finding a second chance. Charles, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison for a nonviolent cocaine conviction more than two decades ago, found a job, purchased a truck, attends church and volunteers.

“It’s no longer about rehabilitation, it never was,” said Charles, who became a librarian in prison and did other work. “That went out with the truth-in-sentencing act.” He was released from prison in 2016, but nearly two years later, a judge forced him to return to serve out his sentence until Kardashian and other supporters lobbied for his release in Dec. 2018. Arizona passed its Truth-in-Sentencing Act in 1993, nearly a decade after the passage of federal laws collectively known as “truth in sentencing.” Arizona requires inmates to serve up to 85% of their sentence. Hardin said being a convicted felon toys with a person’s humanity.“You don’t feel that you’re enough, sometimes you feel alone. I had great parents, great friends, great family that all were there for me, to see me succeed. I still felt alone,” he said. “I can’t even fathom some days for dudes who don’t have that. My heart breaks for them, it just does. A clean slate is needed.”

Burke. He urged recyclers to follow the rules as closely as possible. “We want people to keep it simple, don’t get creative,” Burke said. “We became so used to throwing everything in the recycle bin it just started having too many contaminants, so now China has made these changes it’s changed everything on our end,” said Goodyear Solid Waste Superintendent Adam Kurtz. Phoenix, which has not changed its $26.80 monthly rate in several years, will need to make changes to deal with new costs and demands, according to a recent city council report. The city is looking at options from maintaining current service except raising rates to eliminating recycling. The city of Surprise suspended its recycling program in August, moving all materials that would have once been recycled to landfill due to rising costs. Glendale is also considering changes to its recycling program, which costs the city $1 million per year. Other cities are looking for new buyers. And, while there are no scheduled changes, the cities in the area are looking at potentially making them. “There’s not a lot of facilities coming to the table to make our domestic market more aggressive, to bring more recyclables here in the states. All the places we once had outlets, are closing their ports to us, so we’ll have to see what happens,” said Ruiz. “It may get to a point where we have to bring our concerns to the city, and then we’ll have some choices to make about costs or what services can be provided.” At the MRF, the materials are sorted by machines by material type, alongside workers sifting through the items. Kurtz said often people organize their recyclables in plastic bags. However, those often get stuck in the machines, and cause delays or functional issues. Kurtz called bagged recyclables the “number one problem” for Goodyear recycling. “People mean well by bagging their recyclables. The problem with this is

when it’s picked up it’s causing issues with conveyor belts. Nine times out of ten if they see it bagged, they’ll end up throwing it out instead,” Kurtz said. Fees and what is accepted for recycling varies widely around the West Valley. Monthly charges and policies, from city websites: • Peoria - $15.29 Accepts cardboard, paper, aluminum and tin cans and jars, glass bottles and jars and plastic bottles with caps screwed on. • Glendale - $21.80 Accepts aluminum cans, cardboard, cartons, chipboard, mixed paper, newspaper, steel/tin and plastic containers carrying recycling symbols 1 and 2. No glass. • Avondale - $20 Accepts aluminum/metal, aerosol cans, cardboard, paper, chipboard, glass bottles or jars with no lids/caps and plastic. • Buckeye - $21.44 Accepts bottles (plastic and glass), aluminum/metal cans, paper and cardboard. • Goodyear - $22.80 Accepts paper, glass bottles and jars without lids, plastic 1-7, steel/tin, aluminum, cardboard and paperboard. • Tolleson - $15 Accepts paper, cardboard, plastics 1-6, aluminum cans, steel/tin and glass bottles/jars. Recycling in the West Valley is not completely restricted to the curbside pickup cities provide, either. There are other options for second, third, or further uses of the materials people want to rid from their homes. Glendale Field Operations Director Michelle Woytenko encouraged resi-

dents to look into secondhand stores like Goodwill, Salvation Army or others, and to figure out other creative ways to make use of resources that would not be acceptable in the city’s MRF. “If you’ve got furniture, you’ve got clothing that’s still got some use to it, look at those nonprofits, look at those ways you can recycle as well, just not in our program,” Woytenko said. Each city has its own recycling policy for residential pickup, and the local governments have pages on their respective websites listing the ‘dos and don’ts’ of local recycling. And, while the officials hope their residents are aware of the rules affecting them, several understand they need

to make an improved effort in making themselves and recycling rules more accessible. “As we continue to grow, education is going to be key to continue to ensure residents understand the program. When they’re moving here, we want to make it so they’re getting the right information, and then when they have questions, making it easier for them to find it,” said Kurtz. “Most homeowners have good intentions and want to do things correctly,” Burke said. “So the more education we can give people, the better they are going to be with it, and the better productivity we can have.”

Sex education controversy continues to churn BY HOWARD FISCHER

Senate President Karen Fann blocked consideration— possibly permanently — on a bill to put new restrictions on sex education in public schools. Fann said Jan. 14 the proposal introduced by Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, clearly needs work. The Prescott Republican noted even Allen conceded SB 1082 is not in the form she wants. But Fann also said the sweeping proposal to both limit the grades where sex ed could be taught and provide more parental oversight is quite controversial. The Senate president added it may make it inappropriate for discussion at this time. Fann said she and other legislative leaders are hoping for a quick session. Part of the pressure on lawmakers is the primary election was moved up three weeks, to Aug. 4. And if legislators are in session until May or June it leaves less time for them to

And she hopes to pressure Fann to allow her to resurrect the measure later this session. But it wasn’t just supporters of SB 1082 at the Capitol.

son which actually would move sex education programs in Arizona in the opposite direction. But this bill, too, likely is dead. Teaching sex ed is optional with school districts, allowing them to provide what is supposed to be age-appropriate instruction for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Only students whose parents have opted in can participate. Allen’s measure would bar sex ed before the seventh grade. It also would tighten up requirements for school boards to review the proposed course and provide time for parents to see what materials would be used and set up a system for parental complaints. And it also would spell out for the first time instruction in AIDS and HIV could only be taught with parental permission and only at upper grades. “Do we want to have our small, innocent little children sexually active?’’ Allen asked supporters rallying for her bill at the Capitol.

Peoria Times She said her bill became “tainted’’ —and controversial— because of verbiage some believed would have barred teachers from ever mentioning homosexuality. Allen said it was not the intent and even prepared language to remove the section. “I was acting and so were all the parents there working with me, we were acting to protect parent’s rights and our children,’’ she said. “And we should have had the opportunity to debate the bill’’ on its merits and not on the perception of what it did. By this point, though, it was too late. “People are backing away (saying) ‘Oh, we can’t support something where the perception is it’s anti-gay,’” Allen said. “And so there was no choice but to hold this bill.’’ And the senator suggested schools, in teaching sex ed—and other social and moral issues— were not being neutral. “They should not be taking a perspective of the socialist, Marxist radical points of views out here, or not even the more radical views that might

be on the Right,’’ she said. “They must be respectful of our parents and what children are learning and being directed from in their home.’’ Fann, however, said her main concern was avoiding certain hot-button issues she feared could take away needed attention from the necessary business of the Legislature. “We’re going to try and keep this session as quickly as possible with the least amount of friction and create a bipartisan atmosphere so we can get through this session with civility,’’ she said. And what it means, Fann said, is delaying —for as long as necessary —“those issues need a little more work.’’ This also likely means Steele’s proposal also will meet the same fate and not get a hearing. Her measure not only preserves sex ed in all grades but makes it an opt-out situation, with students enrolled in the classes unless parents specifically ask they be excused. Steele defended the change. “I don’t think it is all controversial,’’

she said. “I think there is a small, vocal group of people who don’t want other people’s kids to have access to this safe, healthy, life-saving information.’’ Anyway, Steele said she believes children today need sex education from people who know how to teach it to keep them safe. “This is a much more complicated world than when you and I were kids,’’ said Steele who is 63. “Kids have questions,’’ she continued, questions most parents are not answering — or their kids are not asking them. “So if we don’t have teachers in the classroom telling them the facts, they’re going to get their questions answered on the internet, probably a porn site.’’ Steele’s measure would have added some new requirements to what would have to be taught in sex education classes, including discussing the perception students have of their bodies, emotions and behaviors and talk about “personal boundaries, consent and the right to privacy.’’

Still time to change your Medicare health plan

BY CATE KORTZEBORN Peoria Times Guest Writer

Did you sign up for a Medicare Advantage health plan last year only to find it doesn’t meet your needs? Not to worry. You still have time to switch to another Medicare Advantage plan, or return to Original Medicare. Between Jan. 1 and March 31 each year, you can make the following changes during the Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period: • If you’re in a Medicare Advantage plan (with or without drug coverage), you can switch to another Medicare Advantage plan (with or without drug coverage). • You can drop your Medicare Advantage plan and return to Original Medicare. You’ll also be able to join a Medicare prescription drug plan (also known as a Part D plan). During this period, you can’t: • Switch from Original Medicare to a Medicare Advantage plan. • Join a Medicare prescription drug plan if you’re in Original Medicare. • Switch from one Medicare prescrip-

tion drug plan to another if you’re in Original Medicare. You can only make one change during this period, and any changes you make will be effective the first of the month after the plan gets your request. If you’re returning to Original Medicare and joining a drug plan, you don’t need to contact your Medicare Advantage plan to disenroll. The disenrollment will happen automatically when you join the drug plan. In most cases, you must stay enrolled for the calendar year, starting on the date your coverage begins. However, you can make changes to your Medicare Advantage and Medicare prescription drug coverage when certain events happen in your life, like if you move or you lose other insurance coverage. These opportunities to make changes are called Special Enrollment Periods (SEPs). Rules about when you can make changes and the type of changes you can make are different for each SEP. You can learn more about SEPs here: medicare.gov/sign-up-change-plans/

when-can-i-join-a-health-or-drug-plan/ special-circumstances-special-enrollment-periods. How do you switch? Follow these steps if you’re already in a Medicare Advantage plan and want to switch: • To switch to a new Medicare Advantage plan, simply join the plan you want. You’ll be disenrolled automatically from your old plan when your new plan’s coverage begins. • To switch to Original Medicare, contact your current plan, or call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users can call 1-877-486-2048. If you don’t have drug coverage, you should consider joining a Medicare prescription drug plan to avoid paying a penalty if you decide to join later. You may also want to consider buying a Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) policy if you’re eligible. You can find out more about Medigap here: medicare.gov/supplements-other-insurance/when-can-i-buy-medigap/4steps-to-buy-a-medigap-policy.

For more details about Medicare Advantage plans, visit Medicare.gov/publications to view the booklet “Understanding Medicare Advantage Plans.” If you believe you made the wrong plan choice because of inaccurate or misleading information, including information from Medicare’s online Plan Finder, call 1-800-MEDICARE and explain your situation. Call center representatives can help you throughout the year with options for making changes. A final note: If you enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan during your Initial Enrollment Period (when you first became eligible for Medicare), you can change to another Medicare Advantage plan (with or without drug coverage) or go back to Original Medicare (with or without a drug plan) within the first 3 months you have Medicare. Cate Kortzeborn is Medicare’s regional administrator for Arizona, California, Nevada, Hawaii and the Pacific Territories.

ment income was just over $1.8 million. In the report’s “Portfolio Strategy” section, it looks like more conservativism: − Following three consecutive Fed rate cuts, we continued to maintain portfolio durations in line with benchmarks for the quarter as market expectations called for stable rates well into 2020. −Maintained broad diversification across all permitted fixed income sectors. Although most sector spread levels were on the tighter end of their recent trading history, the incremental income was generally additive to performance in a rangebound interest rate environment in Q4. − Sector allocation favors broad diversification, generally including the widest range of permitted investments. − Short-term investors found opportunities from wider spreads in money market credit investments (commercial pa-

Increased allocations to these sectors at attractive levels, helped cushion the impact of the Fed’s lower overnight target rate. •Some people actually enjoy sitting in traffic.

Online purchases now help fill state coffers BY OWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Arizonans are now paying more money to state and local governments for the items they’re buying online. The Department of Revenue reports it has collected an extra $51.5 million in the first two months a new law has been in effect. Of that, $23.4 million is going into the state treasury, with the balance parceled out among cities and counties. What makes this number so impressive is budget analysts predicted the net gain to the general fund for a full fiscal year would be just $85 million. And the collections reported so far don’t even represent the Christmas sales made in December. The new cash is not a new tax on Arizonans – at least not strictly speaking. What it represents is Arizona’s effort to take advantage of a 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision which concluded states are free to levy their taxes on all sales made into the state, regardless of the source. Previously, the law stated a business had a “nexus’’ to the taxing state, usually in the form of a physical presence. So, purchases made from, say, a Target store always have been subject to the state’s 5.6 percent tax plus applicable local taxes. Ditto to purchases from Target.com given the retailer’s presence. But an online retailer in New York state who sold and shipped you a $300 camera collected neither a New York sales tax nor an Arizona sales tax. All of it has now changed. As of Oct. 1, Arizona began requiring retailers who make at least $200,000 in direct sales into Arizona to begin charging what is technically called the state’s “transaction privilege tax.’’ Put simply, the purchase of a $300

camera online from one of the retailers required to collect the levy would add $16.80 in state taxes. And someone living in a city and county with a combined local rate of 4 percent would find another $12 tacked on. Ed Greenberg, spokesman for the Department of Revenue, said his agency already has issued about 2,100 of these “remote seller’’ licenses. More retailers will soon be subject to the levy. Later this year the threshold for having to collect Arizona taxes goes to $150,000, dropping to $100,000 in 2021. Shoppers who go online or travel elsewhere to buy everything from clothing to furniture and electronics legally have been required since 1955 to compute what they would have paid had they purchased the items in Arizona and then send the amount off to the state every month. How many Arizonans actually do, however, is another question. The state last budget year collected slightly more than $326 million in use taxes, a small fraction of the $7.4 billion taken in. There are no firm figures on how many individuals are complying with the law or, more to the point, are ignoring it. The new tax on out-of-state retailers is designed to make up for the lack of compliance and narrow the gap between Arizona retailers and their outof-state competitors. As it turns out, at least some online purchases made by Arizonans already were being taxed, even before the new law kicked in. Amazon began collecting state sales taxes in 2012 on its own products and those of Amazon affiliates after reaching an agreement to settle a $53 million assessment made against it by the De-

partment of Revenue. For years the Seattle-based company argued its online sales were not subject to the levy because, unlike a place like Target, it did not have retail outlets in the state. What it does have, however, are distribution warehouses where goods from elsewhere are processed and sent

out to Arizona customers. And this, revenue officials argued, provides the legal “nexus’’ to the state. But the agreement did not cover situations where Amazon was simply a platform for other out-of-state retailers. The new law should fill that gap.

Tackle Trauma event at GCC BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Trauma experts, first responders, police and emergency medical service personnel will demonstrate important ways to manage trauma at Tackle Trauma from 8 to 10 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 2. The Arizona Trauma Association (ATA) sponsors the event. The key, experts say, is avoiding accidents and crashes as well as distracted driving and other activities. The interactive first responder and injury prevention demonstrations are part of the sixth annual event. The event features a 5k run and walk at Glendale Community College, 6000 W. Olive Avenue, Glendale.

Dr. Joseph Sucher, ATA president, said the organization “wants to raise awareness” of the massive impact traumatic injruies have on people. Indeed, the leading cause of death in people ages 1-44 is trauma. “Whether it’s a car or motorcycle accident or a fall from a ladder, countless people are affected by trauma every day,” he noted. Check-in for the event starts at 7 a.m. Online registration is $35. In-person registration is $45. For more information or to register, visit aztracc.org/tackletrauma5k.

Arizona Broadway Theatre launches first impact project for 2020 season BY SARA EDWARDS

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

The Arizona Broadway Theatre is launching its first “impact project” with its 2020 theater season. The projects aim to increase the theater’s community outreach and engagement through meaningful ways beyond the production on the stage. Brad York, director of marketing and development at the ABT, said the group and wanted to find ways to follow the motto “art imitates life.” “This is our first big project,” Brad York said. “Every show that happens on a stage has themes and subject matters applicable in everyday life.” The first impact project is launching in conjunction with the theater’s production of “La Cage aux Folles.” The story is about a young engaged man who is nervous about introducing his fiancee and her straight-laced parents to his father, who owns a drag club, and his mother, the star of the show.

ically in the LGBTQ+ community. “‘La Cage’ is one of the first musicals to have its story centered around a samesex couple,” York said. “Theater is important and it gives the opportunity for people to think and see the world in perhaps a different way than they came in seeing it. “While the central theme of ‘La Cage’ focuses on issues of inclusion and acceptance related to the Arizona Broadway Theatre’s “La Cage aux Folles” runs through Feb. LGBTQ+ communi28. (Image courtesy ABT) ty, our intent with the ‘I Am What I Am!’ The project is being launched to raise teen-youth anti-bullying Impact Project awareness of teen-youth bullying, specif- is to broaden the focus of inclusion and

acceptance among all people.” Arizona Broadway Theatre partnered with One n Ten, a nonprofit organization in Phoenix aiming to help LGBTQ+ kids and young adults (ages 11-24) who have been kicked out or removed from their homes because of their sexual orientation. “The hope with the anti-bullying campaign isn’t to preach,” York said. “It’s to make someone ask or answer the question in their own mind ‘that is a big deal. We should be paying more attention.’” “La Cage aux Folles” opened Jan. 24 at the Arizona Broadway Theater and runs until Feb. 28 before transferring to the Herberger Theater Center in downtown Phoenix. Tickets for the show, dinner or both can be purchased at azbroadwaytheatre.com or by calling the box office at 623-776-8400. Arizona Broadway Theatre is at 7701 W. Paradise Lane, Peoria.

Glendale man almost throws away $100 thousand

BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Peoria Times Staff Writer

Michael Bozner normally throws out “junk mail” without a glance, but his 13-year-old son stopped him from throwing away a valuable mailer. “He thinks everything is going to be a winner and I said, ‘You know, I’m going to teach you a lesson, boy, about these sale gimmicks’,” Bozner said. The 52-year-old Glendale resident brought the flyer to Larry H. Miller Toyota Peoria. Instead of teaching his son a lesson, he was shocked to learn he won a $100,000 cash prize. It was the largest cash price to ever be rewarded in the “FATWIN” sweepstakes. Bozner owns an auto repair shop and is a man of few words and not one to normally lose his cool. The day he came in to ask about the mailer, he was more concerned about getting the groceries done than the fact he won the grand prize. “I had people coming up and congratu-

lating me and my boys were just bouncing all over the floor,” Bozner said. One of the people to congratulate him was Jay Carley, Toyota Peoria general manager. “I’ve given many of them (prizes) in the past,” Carley said. “I’ve even given

out a car, but I had never given out the grand prize.” Carley said the company sends roughly 10,000 mailers at a time but only a few people claim them. Most people just throw them away. “If we send out 10,000 pieces, you’ll

probably have 150 people come in at the most,” Carley said. “That’s why there’s usually 8,500 that never get a chance to win the grand prize.” Carley said he is happy to see a person from the West Valley receive the prize. “Our company here, we’re more about community effort,” Carley said. “We like to give back to the community and give back to our people.” Bozner said he used some of the money to take a trip to Louisiana and buy a vehicle. He said he is going to split his winning with his family. Bozner said he never won anything before in his life, other than Rolling Stones tickets once, and he may start considering checking the mail more often. “I’m still not sure if I’ll check the mail or not,” Bozner joked. “I may play the lottery a little bit more.” Bozner was still in a state of disbelief as he held the check. “I can’t believe people actually win out of the mailers,” he said.

Message to pastors: You drive cattle but you can’t drive sheep CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph

Peoria Times Columnist

Bernie and Esther were not the most religious couple. In fact, they only went to church once a year. As they were leaving the church, the minister said, “Bernie, it sure would be nice to see you and Esther here more than once a year!” “I know,” replied Bernie, “but least we keep the Ten Commandments.” “That’s great,” the minister said. “I’m glad to hear you keep the Commandments.” “Yep,” says Bernie proudly, “Esther keeps six of them and I keep four.”

Welcome to the life of a pastor. I know because I was a pastor of a local church here in the Phoenix area for many years. I’m still a pastor but now I pastor pastors all over the world. Being a shepherd or a pastor is interesting. You never know what is going to happen to sheep. They get lost. They are unaware. There are all kinds of things, dare I say, making life doubly interesting. Let me explain what I mean. Psalm 23 is probably the most famous Psalm in the Bible. You have probably

heard it at some point in your life. “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want...” This Psalm was written by David. He was reflecting on how God leads his people (himself included) like a shepherd leads his sheep through many toils, trials, and snares. One of God’s names is Jehovah Rohi; The Lord my Shepherd. David had an epiphany as both a pastor and the leader of a nation, he is a leader, led by the Leader, who leads like a shepherd. The Apostle Peter uses the shepherd metaphor in his writings to pastors and shepherds in the church. “Here’s my concern: you care for God’s flock with all the diligence of a shepherd. Not because you need to, but because you want to please God. Not calculating what you can get out of it but acting eagerly. Not bossily telling others what to do, but tenderly showing them the way. When God, who is the best Shepherd of all, comes out into the open with His rule, He’ll see you’ve done it right and commend you lavishly.” Did you notice the shepherd’s dilemma in this verse? The pastor is both a sheep and a shepherd at the same time. The shepherd is a sheep too! The pastor has a dual role, dual citizenship. Being a pastor since 1980, I’ve learned something. As a shepherd, I tend to look at everyone as a sheep and forget

Tune In To Your Community

that I’m a sheep too! I struggle with my “sheepness.” I’m supposed to lead others into still waters, protect, prepare, rest or move, know the answers, lead people through the good times and bad times in their lives, find the table in the wilderness, and all the other shepherd “stuff.” But, there’s a difference between sheep and cattle. You drive cattle but you can’t drive sheep. You lead sheep. The fact is I’m one of those sheep too! I need The Shepherd too! I need all the stuff sheep need and more because I’m both a sheep and a shepherd. Sometimes I forget my ‘sheepness.’ This has effects that affect the rest of the flock. So, I need to keep the sheep in shape and myself in shape too. I want everything “sheepshape.” Why do so many pastors have a hard time in ministry and even fall, much to the delight of others both inside and outside of the church? They forget their “sheepness.” They start driving sheep rather than leading sheep. Sheep start biting each other when this happens. Then sheep quit following the leader and believe me, they need a leader. They are sheep! To the sheep I say, pray for, honor and follow your shepherds for they keep watch over your souls. And, let them be sheep too! To the shepherds, I say: “Embrace your ‘sheepness.’” To learn more about Pastor Ed Delph, the Church-Community Connection and Nation strategy, call 623-376-6757, e-mail nationstrategy@cs.com or visit nationstrategy.com.

Speak Up, Stand Up takes on suicide, bullying prevention BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Peoria Times Staff Writer

Carmina Gregorio’s passion for helping people developed from a troublesome time in her life. “I’ve always had a passion for helping people because I wish someone had helped me when I was little,” Gregorio said. The West Point High School student said she is determined to learn the skills necessary to help her peers and attended the Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life conference for a third year. (Peoria City Council proclaimed January as “Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life Month.”) The spirited event offers students a chance to hear from speakers and their peers on suicide prevention.

More than 4,500 students attended the Speak Up, Stand Up conference, which emphasized suicide prevention. (Peoria Times photo by Octavio Serrano)

This year’s event was held Wednesday, Jan. 21, at Grand Canyon University. More than 4,500 students from 157 schools and 54 school districts in the West Valley and beyond flooded the auditorium with purple and yellow T-shirts in support of the cause. Event sponsor United Healthcare CEO Joe Gaudio said the event will improve the community. “Our mission is to help people live happier lives and help make the health system work better for everyone,” Gaudio said. “We’ve gathered over 4,000 kids here at Grand Canyon University to help them be more aware of the warning signs due to suicide. Not only in themselves, but also in others.” SEE SUICIDE PAGE 27

YOUTH 27

SUICIDE FROM PAGE 26

Gaudio said youth suicide is a prevalent issue in the state of Arizona and one on the rise. He said the suicide rate is up 25% in Arizona. He said mental health can be a challenge for many students. “These kids face so many challenges today trying to basically live a life,” Gaudio said. “It’s an issue and if we can get other kids to help identify those warning signs and reach out to other kids, we believe we can make a difference.” One of the biggest misconceptions Gaudio sees when it comes to students who struggle with suicide is the parents never believe it could happen to their kids. “Kids have built up such defense mechanisms and such strong walls you can’t recognize the signs until it has become too late and they do harm themselves or they do harm to others,” Gaudio said. Gaudio said the conference is unique in it has multiple workshops where young students hear from their peers rather than from adults only, which helps them build rapport and trust, the latter of which, Gaudio said, is one of the most challenging. “The challenge is trying to convince the children there are trusted caring adults out there,” Gaudio said. “Kids by nature, particularly a child who is dealing with a lot of anxiety and adverse childhood experiences, they have a hard time trusting adults.” Gregorio, 16, was someone who struggled with trust. Today, Gregorio belongs to many different clubs at her school, putting her in the position to help others. She is an Avondale youth advisor counselor and does community service for veterans. But she said there was a time when she lacked confidence. Mostly, due to bullying. Gregorio was born in Guatemala but moved to America when she was a kid and the only thing she wanted was to fit in with the rest. “Everyone was skinny, I was chubby, and I didn’t feel secure about myself; I didn’t feel like I was likable,” Gregorio said. “And coming from a different country, you want to fit in.” She said she tried getting help from the school, but the institution didn’t believe it was a “big deal.” Gregorio said the bullying, ultimately,

pushed her to be a better person and overcame her challenges as she grew older. When she was 12, her counselor suggested she should attend the conference where she was immediately inspired by the work taking place. “It was so emotional,” Gregorio said. “They actually put passion into what they were doing. You’re listening to what they’re saying and realize people go through it and people feel like that. It’s a big deal” Gregorio said she wants her peers to know their stories can never be too small, and they should always be heard. “It doesn’t matter what type of bullying it is. Bullying is bullying,” Gregorio said. “It makes you feel bad.” In addition to hearing from local and national speakers like Jeremy Anderson, the attendees got the opportunity to watch a one-act play brought by the UBU Project, which focuses on suicide prevention, drug prevention and anti-bullying through arts integration like songwriting and theatre. Speak Up, Stand Up founder David Simmons, brother of actor J.K. Simmons, is a director and producer who is no stranger to challenges like suicide. “I’m a thriving survivor of my own suicide attempt on March 21, 2009,” Simmons said. “I’m also a recovering alcoholic with 27 years in the program and I was the fat kid who got bullied in school.” A play presented consisted of a group of teenagers discussing their lives and their experiences. All of which happened to someone in real life, Simmons said. “Today’s play was shining a light on the darker corners of what kids are going through today,” Simmons said. “I intentionally didn’t provide any sweet, easy answers because there aren’t any.” Simmons said the power of the conference is in spreading the message. “If there are 4,500 kids here, we dropped 4,500 pebbles in the pond and the ripple effects,” Simmons said. “You have no idea how many of these kids are struggling.” As the conference grows, GCU is glad to continue to be a part of it, Executive Director of Academic Alliances Jennifer Jonson said. As a former school administrator in the Glendale Union High School District, Johnson understands what it is like working with high school students.

“There aren’t many conferences whose purpose it is to empower students as early as fifth grade to bring students together and build a plan for a campus allowing kids to trust the adults and to speak up when they know their friends are in trouble,” Johnson said. “We want everybody who is touched by Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life Conference to know GCU cares about them and this community,” Johnson said. Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life Conference is an opportunity for young students to learn how to overcome dark challenges and learn how to identify suicide signs in their peers. But it is also a place where they learn one of the biggest lessons Gregorio learned: They are not alone. “Do not be afraid to speak up,” Gregorio said. “Everything happens for a reason. If you’re going through something rough right now, it is probably to build your character because you were brought to this world for a reason. You have to look at the bigger picture.” For more information, visit speakstandsave.com.

Prepare your preschooler for kindergarten BY BRETT BENNINGHOFF

by fostering deep emotional connections helping little ones feel safe and loved. “Once children are confident about themselves and their new environment, they will be able to access their brilliance and really start blossoming,” she said. “The single most important thing parents can do to prepare their child for kindergarten is foster a strong sense of confidence and safety in their young learner. Strong connections give children the confidence to master new tasks and embrace the challenges that come with starting school.” Below are some tips from First Things First to help your preschooler have a fun, easy transition to kindergarten: · Read with your child at least 20 minutes per day. Try books that repeat words; involve activities like counting, identifying colors, objects or let-

Peoria Times Guest Writer

The holidays are behind us, but if you have a preschooler who will be entering kindergarten next school year, it’s not too early to start getting them ready. In fact, many schools hold their kindergarten registration events beginning this month. First Things First (FTF), Arizona’s early childhood organization, has many suggestions on what families can do at home to prepare their child to be successful on the first day of kindergarten. The FTF Kindergarten Readiness page, found at https://www.firstthingsfirst. org/resources/kindergarten-readiness/, is a resource for parents and caregivers to help children be prepared for school success. Superintendent Jodi Gunning tells parents from the Litchfield Elementary School District they can help their children thrive in kindergarten and beyond

ters; or, are about things your child likes. Ask questions like, “What do you think happens next?” · Talk with your child everywhere – at home, in the car, at the store. Makeup stories or songs about your outings. · Writing begins with scribbling. Give your child safe writing tools to play with, like crayons, chalk or markers and blank paper. Ask your child to tell you about their drawings. · Teach your child how to use the bathroom by themselves, to wash their hands after going to the bathroom and before eating, to blow their nose and sneeze into their elbow. Before the first day, talk with your child about what to expect during the school day and types of after-school activities they may be involved in. The more details kids know, the less anxious they will feel. Rehearse for the big day with test-runs of the new routine, which will include: · Choosing what to wear the night before. · Waking up early to have plenty of time to get ready. · Eating a healthy breakfast. · Walking to the bus stop and talking about boarding and where to sit. · Practicing how to open parts of lunch, whether it’s a carton of milk or a small bag of carrots. Remind them

Peoria Times teachers or lunch staff can help if needed. Even if you don’t have kindergarteners this year, it’s never too early to start helping kids prepare. Children who have positive early childhood experiences tend to score higher on school readiness assessments and are more likely to do well in school and graduate. By turning everyday moments into learning moments, we can send our young kids to school with the skills and confidence to help them succeed in kindergarten. “Sometimes parents are hyper-focused on academic and physical achievement,” Gunning said. “We know now our greatest investment is in the social-emotional success of children. We can help students prepare for kindergarten by helping them feel safe and loved so they can access their brilliance at school and in life.” Brett Benninghoff is Community Outreach coordinator for First Things First, a voter-created, statewide organization that funds early learning, family support and children preventive health services to help kids be successful once they enter kindergarten. Decisions about how those funds are spent are made by local councils staffed by community volunteers. To learn more, visit FirstThingsFirst.org.
