County supervisors approve dock at Lake Pleasant BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

PAGE

The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors recently approved the design and construction of a safety dock and boathouses at Scorpion Bay Marina at Lake Pleasant Regional Park. The project, estimated to cost at $900,000, will be paid for jointly by Maricopa County and Arizona Game and Fish Department (AZGFD). The county will own the dock while Scorpion Bay will maintain the facility. “Very few times does something like this come together, but Parks and Recreation

was able to get this together,” said Clint Hickman, District 4 supervisor and board vice chairman. “Lake Pleasant and the park are incredible public assets that see thousands of visitors every year. As the popularity of the park increases, we have to make sure we have the facilities for the people who keep everyone safe on the lake,” Hickman said. The Maricopa County Parks and Recreation Department, Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and AZGFD will exclusively use the dock to manage and increase public safety at the lake. “This is an interesting collaboration

between government departments to come together where there is a need,” Hickman said. “This comes from Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office having funds and Arizona Game and Fish able to qualify for some grants to combine on this project.” Hickman said the dock will not be a new dock, but an extension of an existing dock with a couple of out buildings for storage. “It will add on to a current dock which will allow for the Game and Fish and Sheriff’s Office to store their boats there,” Hickman said. “This also will give them the ability to store boats that they take into SEE LAKE PLEASANT PAGE 2

A Peoria woman is in custody following allegations she had multiple sexual interactions with two teen boys. Jennifer Lehman, 20, was arrested by Phoenix police March 13 on a warrant, Peoria Police Officer Mitchell Fuller confirmed. The case dates back to last year. According to Peoria police documents obtained by the Times, two teenagers who are half brothers – ages 13 and 16 – allege Lehman “engaged in sex acts with them on multiple occasions at multiple locations.” The documents – which were filed by Det.

possession if a driver is under the influence.” Scorpion Bay Holdings – which runs a floating playground offering everything from daily pontoon and ski boat rentals to slips for longterm live-aboard lifestyles and world-class marina services – will partner with Maricopa County Parks and Recreation to design and build the docks and boathouses on the southwest corner of the marina. “I am proud of Maricopa County’s ability to effectively work with other levels of government and utilize publicprivate partnerships to solve a problem,” said Bill Gates, District 3 supervisor and board chairman.

“This project is yet another example of what can be accomplished when entities collaborate. After speaking to a few groups recently, I am very proud to talk about the great work that Parks and Recreation has done with little to no impact on the general fund. We should not take that for granted, and it is very significant and we are thankful for all the work that went into this.” The board is expected to issue a request for proposals (RFP) for the dock extension and will review any offers. Hickman said he was unsure when the RFP will be posted, but park officials hope to have the project completed by midsummer.

John Krause in November, months prior to Lehman’s arrest – report the suspect and the victims live near each other. The victims are family friends of her boyfriend, with whom she lives and has a baby. The victims reportedly noted Lehman asked their ages before any alleged sexual encounters occurred. She was 19 years old at the time. The documents say one of the victims recalled an incident as having occurred between April 23 and June 23, 2018. The 13-year-old victim reported to police Lehman had two sexual encounters with him during a walk to a bus stop. The incidents occurred near Peoria Avenue Preschool and the city’s Main Library. The same victim further alleged Lehman sent nude photographs of herself to him a couple weeks later while they were both at a Phoenix restaurant. Lehman allegedly went to the bathroom, from where she sent the images.

Documents report Lehman admitted to having been at the restaurant with the teen, but denied sending the photos. According to the documents, she claimed “the photos were sent via Facebook, so she did not understand how the victim could save them without her knowing.” The second victim, 16, reported an

incident around May 12 and May 13, 2018, during which he had a sexual contact with Lehman at her home. She reportedly sent him multiple texts containing vulgar language and requesting sex in the following days. According to the documents, police recovered the nude photographs and the inappropriate text messages from the victims’ phones. As a result of the incidents, documents report there have been several confrontations involving the victims, their family and Lehman’s boyfriend. Fuller told Peoria Times that Lehman was not in custody at the time the documents were drafted in November. The case was referred to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and a Grand Jury. Ultimately, an indictment and warrant were issued. Now, Lehman faces several charges of sexual conduct with a minor, as well as furnishing harmful items to minors. As of deadline, she was scheduled to return to court March 21.

Two area Realtors groups approve merger BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Members of the SouthEast Valley Regional Association of Realtors (SEVRAR) and the West Maricopa Association of Realtors (WeMAR) have voted to merge, creating one of the largest groups of its kind in the state. Members last week approved the union of the two 53-year-old groups, culminating discussions that began in October. “We have a lot of work to do at this stage, but I’m encouraged by what this can look like in 12 months,” said Derek Anglin, SEVRAR president. “I’m looking forward to what our combined, local associations can accomplish within our community outreach efforts and how our government affairs networking can improve to ensure our members’ and clients’ rights toward home ownership are protected.” The transition team hosted eight informational town hall meetings at SEVRAR and WeMAR in February and March to discuss how the merger

might expand benefits and services, improve economies of scale and give members access to multiple locations throughout the Valley. “The impact to the members would vary with three locations to serve the members, additional national speakers, streamlining the process for brokers, a broad outreach program engaging our communities and advocacy in protecting homeownership and private property rights,” said M. Teresa RubioAcuña, WeMAR president. “The list can be endless.” “The transition team was vital to the process in order to implement their idea of merging the two largest Realtor associations in Arizona,” said SEVRAR CEO Pamela Frestedt, noting the small group could “move

the process quickly and smoothly.” The new association will have about 21,000 Realtors – nearly half of Arizona’s Realtor membership and covering more than 30 municipalities in the state. A spokesman said it will be bigger than 30 state associations and will be the fifth largest local association of its kind in the country. SEVRAR draws its membership from Ahwatukee, Apache Junction, Chandler, Gilbert, San Tan Valley, Guadalupe, Mesa, Queen Creek, Gold Canyon, Sun Lakes and Tempe. WeMAR members are in Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Gila Bend, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Sun City, Sun City West, Surprise, Tolleson, Youngtown, Waddell and Wickenburg as well as in Douglas and Western Pinal chapters. A “broker liaison” will be design to assist members “with receiving cutting-edge industry advancements that can better serve their businesses,” a spokesman said, adding that complaints will be processed more

quickly and that community outreach programs through SEVRAR’s critical needs fund and WeMAR C.A.R.E.S. will reach more people in need. Now that both memberships voted to merge, the transition team will begin the process of merging the two associations, said Roger Nelson, CEO of WeMAR. “This process includes updating bylaws, creating organization policies, drafting business and strategic plans, and developing new budgets,” he said. “Much of this work will provide the opportunity for the two associations’ current volunteers and leaders to work in unison through work groups and task forces.” Nelson added that the new association would focus on creating a better professional experience for its members. “We will do this by enhancing professional development curriculum, and increasing activities and commitments to Realtor and personal property rights,” he said.

HU launches occupational therapy doctoral program BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Peoria’s Huntington University launched a doctoral program in occupational therapy, an expansion of the program at Parkview Randallia in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The occupational therapy program will share space with Huntington University’s Arizona Center for Digital Media Arts. “The current OTD Program in Fort Wayne attracts a number of students

from the west coast,” said Dr. Beth O’Rourke, assistant director of academics, associate professor of OTD and acting director of the Arizona OTD program. “With the university’s unique mission, combined with the success and strong programming in Fort Wayne, there is a natural fit for the OTD program to expand to Peoria.” The Arizona doctoral program in occupational therapy plans to begin OTD classes in January 2021 for

32 students. In the meantime, the university is making arrangements to hire a full-time program director, academic fieldwork coordinator, faculty and an administrative assistant. Huntington University completed step one of the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) letter of intent. Submission of step two Candidacy Status Application will be submitted by April 15, 2020. The self-study will be submitted to ACOTE by March 1, 2022, for the

ERA falters recently at State Capitol BY HOWARD FISCHER Capital Media Services

A bid to force a vote on having Arizona ratify the Equal Rights Amendment faltered recently when Republicans refused to allow it. The 16-13 vote against suspending the rules to permit a vote came after even three Republicans who are cosponsors of SCR 1009 refused to side with the Democrats who sought an immediate vote; a fourth was absent. Their support would have provided the margin of support to require a vote. One of them, Sen. Michelle Ugenti-Rita, R-Scottsdale, said afterward she still supports the ERA. But she said the motion by Senate Minority Leader David Bradley, D-Tucson, was to suspend the rules to force a vote. And Ugenti-Rita said she has to support her party when there is a vote on changing procedures. For other Republicans, their vote to deny even debating the issue was strictly on philosophical and political lines. Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake,

worried about the effects of a federal constitutional amendment which would say that “equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state on account of sex.’’ “‘Sex’ has a lot of different definitions today than it did in the 1970s,’’ she said, when the amendment was first proposed. And that, said Allen, would lead to “unintended consequences.’’ “It would be impossible for girls’ sports to keep boys out,’’ she said. “Already, transgender men are disrupting women’s sports.’’ Allen said it would require things like mixing men and women in prison. Both Sens. J.D. Mesnard, whose district includes a piece of western Gilbert, and Eddie Farnsworth voted against the motion. Farnsworth argued that the ERA would provide a constitutional basis to argue not only for abortion but to invalidate laws that prohibit the use of public funds to terminate a pregnancy. But Sen. Victoria Steele, D-Tucson, said opposition is based on myths.

“The ERA is not about abortion,’’ she said. Steele said if that were true the original measure to try to get Arizona to ratify it in the 1970s would not have been backed by Sandra Day O’Connor, then a Republican state senator, and Claire Dunn, a Democrat nun from Tucson who was in the state House. Farnsworth responded he has no way of knowing the motives of the pair. Much of the more than an hour of debate turned on long-repeated claims on both sides. “A basic principle of the American idea is majority rules,’’ said Sen. Andrea Dallesandro, D-Green Valley. And she said more than half of all citizens in Arizona and the United States are women. “American women remain vastly underrepresented, underpaid and undervalued without the ratification of the ERA,’’ Dallesandro said. But Sen. Sonny Borrelli, R-Lake Havasu City, said there already are federal and state laws to prevent employers from discriminating in pay discrimination based on gender.

“The wage gap is driven by choices of men and women make,’’ he said. “Women can work fewer hours than men,’’ Borrelli said. He also said there is “almost no gap’’ in wages when comparing single and childless women with what men earn. That explanation annoyed Steele. “The wage gap cannot be explained away by choices,’’ she said. And Steele said she was not content to rely on statutes to protect women. “Those rights are based on laws – laws that can and do disappear with every political election,’’ she said, with constitutional amendments needed to cement protections into place. Sen. Sine Kerr, R-Buckeye, said the problems go beyond the 23 words in the amendment guaranteeing equality of rights. She pointed out that the proposed amendment also would give Congress the power to enforce it. “It is wrong to abdicate our state’s rights to Congress,’’ she said. SEE ERA PAGE 10

10 NEWS ERA FROM PAGE 9

Then there’s the legal question. Congress approved the amendment in 1972, sending it to the states for ratification. Three-fourths of the states – a total of 38 – have to approve. By the original 1979 deadline, 35 had approved. And a congressional extension until June 30, 1982, produced no more. Nevada and Illinois have since done their own post-deadline ratifications. Proponents claim that would make Arizona the needed 38th state. But it’s not that simple. Five states have voted to revoke their ratifications. Senate Majority Leader Rick Gray, R-Sun City, said the long-passed deadline makes the whole discussion moot, citing a Supreme Court ruling that declared the issue dead. His district also includes Peoria. “The idea that a couple of states can tack on to votes taken over 40 years ago is a fraud and a cheat on our constitutional system,’’ Allen said. None of that dissuaded Sen. Martin Quezada, D-Glendale. He said there are still legal questions about all that, noting that Congress could act now to extend the deadline. Still, he said, it doesn’t matter to him

even if an Arizona vote proves to be legally ineffective. “There is no deadline on equality,’’ Quezada said. “We should still pass this because we care about equality.’’ All through the debate, male lawmakers on both sides mentioned their wives, mothers, sisters and daughters, each claiming that they were acting in their best interests. “I believe that they should live in a world that recognizes them for who they are and accords them the same respect that is accorded to me,’’ said Sen. Lupe Contreras, D-Avondale. “Women are sacred,’’ Farnsworth said, speaking of his wife and seven daughters. “I oppose the ERA because I believe that is the way to protect the women in my life.’’ Quezada responded that he agrees that women are sacred. But he said all that is missing the point of why he supports the ERA. “My arguments are not justified because I have women in my life,’’ he said. “My arguments should not be interpreted to be correct because I have a sister, because I have a cousin, because I have aunts, because I have a mother, because I have a grandmother.’’

Lately there’s been a lot of talk about climate change as the most serious threat facing mankind. Respectfully, I disagree. Climate change may indeed lay waste to civilization someday. But my money is on stupidity killing us first. If that sounds mean-spirited, please understand that the past few weeks have been an epic stretch for those of us who track idiocy, which happens to be my principal form of entertainment. And while it’s easy to excuse stupidity because we all have brain lapses from time to time, some of us seem determined to push human ignorance to its absolute pinnacle. Like the now-notorious selfie-taker known as Leanne, no last name, who came to fame on a recent sunny Saturday at the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park. Leanne is alleged to have leaned beyond or otherwise crossed a barrier in order to get closer to a female jaguar. The jaguar did what annoyed jaguars do, swiping at Leanne through a fence, clawing her arm deeply enough to require multiple stitches. “We have determined the jaguar was not at fault in any way,” a zoo spokesperson told a reporter for Channel 3. “The injuries were due to human error.” Uh, I’ll say. Seriously, if you can’t attend the zoo properly as an adult, how do you handle stuff like work or grocery shopping? I typically ponder such existential questions while hiking Piestewa Peak, except I’m giving that particular trail a break now, after police arrested three men there last Monday. Their crime? Firing a 9mm handgun at a saguaro near the busy Hopi trailhead. While smoking weed. And babysitting a 1-year-old. Terrorized hikers and residents

Anti-vaxxers swelling the ranks of stupidity BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ

OPINION

called the cops. Officers found the Glock pistol in the baby’s car seat – beneath the baby. The 29-year-old dad, Nicholas Forte, told police he was holding the toddler when a buddy handed him the gun, so he put the Glock in the baby seat, then sat the kid down on top of it. This story makes me wonder why there isn’t an enhanced sentence for criminal stupidity, similar to how a “hate crimes” designation adds prison time for heinous offenders. We clearly need to up the ante, because stupid people are getting more dangerous daily. Like the anti-vaxxers. Leanne risked only her own life. The Saguaro Shooters endangered a small child and some nearby hikers. Anti-vaxxers endanger broad swaths of Arizona by refusing to vaccinate their children, despite decades of persuasive medical evidence and the urging of everyone from the Centers for Disease Control to the surgeon general to Gov. Doug Ducey. Mesa Rep. Kelly Townsend, head of the state Legislature’s “Looney Tunes” bloc, recently bashed vaccination requirements, opining, “The idea that we force someone to give up their liberty for the sake of the collective is not based on American values but rather, Communist.” Townsend later doubled down on the crazy, comparing vaccinating children to ward off measles, mumps and rubella with … the Holocaust? For Townsend, mandatory vaccines to protect public health – or, as she puts it, “government forcing you to inject a solution into your body that could very well damage you for life or even kill you” – is somehow akin to the Nazis tattooing prisoners with ID numbers at death camps. “Your body is your own,” Townsend told reporters. I couldn’t agree more. As a rule, Americans stand free to use our bodies as we see fit. I just wish more of us would actually use our brains every now and again.

MARGULIES’ OPINION – www.jimmymargulies.com

Judges are human, too Each Wednesday my court holds initial arraignments for traffic citations. This is the time for the judge to explain what the options are to a driver for a particular traffic violation. One usually has several options: 1. You can request a hearing. This is where you will come back to court and the judge listens to you and the officer. Be sure and come prepared to present your entire case; extensions are seldom granted. 2. You can pay the standard fine, or 3. You may be eligible to go to driving school. Driving school, which used to only be available every 24 months, is now available every 12 months. If someone goes to driving school, the citation is usually dismissed. This may benefit the driver’s future insurance premiums. Just so you know, it is more important to me that the unsafe driving behavior is corrected for the safety of everyone than to just collect a fine. When I was a police officer, I gave many traffic warnings. It was always my belief that it was my job to correct unsafe driving, not just write tickets. Most of the time, the behavior could be corrected through education; however, sometimes, unfortunately, it needed to be done with the citation. As a judge, my position has not

changed much. I continue to think it is more important for a driver to not commit the unsafe violation again through education than to simply impose a fine. A young lady appeared before me for a speeding citation and asked me what driving school was like. I told her that when I went to driving school I found it informative. A man in the back of the courtroom started laughing to the point that it became disruptive. I asked him why he was laughing. He said, “Judge, it’s just good to see you are just as normal as we are.” I suppose that is true. As judges we are just like everyone else and held accountable to the rules as well. The responsibilities and authority that are given to a judge do not give him or her special privileges.

Colorectal cancer screenings save lives. Colorectal cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death —but it doesn’t have to be. If you are 50 or older, have a family history of colon cancer, or if you are experiencing symptoms such as pain, rectal bleeding, or change in bowel habits, it’s recommended that you get a colonoscopy. A colon screening can help detect abnormal occurrences and diseases, such as polyps, early enough for a simple treatment to be effective. And screening is often covered by your insurance provider. Call us at 480.939.5819 or visit dignityhealth.org/colonexpertsAZ to find a doctor.

Road trips remain a popular vacation option for families, with 53 percent of traveling families expecting to hit the highways this year. (Photo courtesy AAA)

BY MICHELLE DONATI-GRAYMAN AAA Arizona Media Relations Lead

Across the country, families are getting ready to embark on exciting adventures. A recent AAA Travel survey revealed that nearly 100 million Americans – four in 10 U.S. adults – plan to take a family vacation this year. Two-thirds of travelers are planning a summer getaway, while just under half plan to travel during spring. Road trips remain a popular vacation option for families, with 53 percent of traveling families expecting to hit the highways this year. Hitting the road also can be an economical way to vacation, according to recent AAA survey data. Gas prices are averaging more than a quarter cheaper in 2019 when compared to the first few months of last year. These lower prices could mean a little extra time exploring – 33 percent of Americans say they would consider taking an extra vacation if prices remain low. Where are adventurous families headed this year? According to AAA’s travel editors, the most popular summer road trip destinations for 2019 include Las Vegas to national parks; Northern California and the Southern Oregon Coast; Northern New England; Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina and Black Hills, South Dakota.

AAA’s travel experts offer several tips to families headed on a road trip: Be prepared: Books, games and music can help entertain passengers. Keep healthy snacks on hand, especially if you can’t stop for a full meal. Stay safe: Plan frequent stops – about every 100 miles or two hours – to rest and remain alert. All passengers should wear seat belts or be secured in a child safety seat. Eliminate distractions: Pre-program your GPS device and adjust mirrors and seats before beginning to drive, and don’t use a handheld or hands-free cellphone while driving. Practice patience: Busy roads are commonplace during the summer driving season. Leaving earlier in the day can help you avoid heavy traffic. Research your destination: Map out your route in advance using AAA’s TripTik Travel Planner. A knowledgeable travel agent also can help you plan a stress-free vacation. Download the AAA Mobile app to find diamond-rated hotels and restaurants as well as the latest gas prices. Be road trip-ready: Taking your vehicle to a AAA Car Care or Approved Auto Repair facility for any scheduled maintenance is a smart move before embarking on a road trip. Keep an emergency kit inside your vehicle with flares, jumper cables, a first-aid kit and extra water. AAA also recommends families plan and research as far ahead as possible to avoid missing out on popular activities and fun. Visit aaa.com/travel to plan and book your family’s vacation today.

Peoria Times

Emma Morales, 3, prefers to speak with her hands instead of relying on her cochlear implant. Christina Vorreyer-Davis is her deaf mentor.

Laura Morales and her husband, Antonio, left Hawaii and moved to Peoria a little over two years ago, after they learned their daughter, Emma, was deaf. Antonio, formerly of the U.S. Army, is now a military contractor in Afghanistan.

Deaf mentor program helps toddler speak BY CAROLYN DRYER Peoria Times Editor

Emma Morales prefers to sign rather than speak. The 3-year-old feels free to use her hands even though she uses her cochlear implant every day, according to her mother, Laura. Laura and her husband, Antonio, left Hawaii and moved to Peoria a little over two years ago, after they learned Emma was deaf. The couple believed they were giving their daughter access to the best medical care and resources. Soon after the move, the family connected with a deaf mentor program through the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Although Emma has a cochlear implant, she has received help from her deaf mentor, Christina Vorreyer-Davis, who comes to their home for an hourlong session each week. Laura said it

takes a year before speech and oral capabilities develop. “She can hear some sounds, imitate sounds and does mouth movements,” Laura said. “She prefers to use American Sign Language (ASL). I’m open to both for my daughter. I have learned ASL.” Laura has two older children, and Antonio, who was in the U.S. Army, is now a military contractor in Afghanistan. Laura said both of her older children are learning ASL, and her middle child loves it. Laura went to Phoenix College to earn her deaf study certificate and said she now has the ability to communicate with her daughter. “I’m always trying to increase my vocabulary,” she said. To gain more knowledge and learn more words, she attends board

meetings and events for the deaf. One event took place at the Renaissance Festival March 9. A deaf group meets once a month and a group of parents also meets once a month, “trying to serve all areas of Phoenix,” Laura said. Arizona Hands and Voices will host an event from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, March 30, at Anthem Community Park in Phoenix. Learn more at azhv. org. A play group day for deaf and hard of hearing kids is set from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 13, at Foothills Park playground, 57th Avenue and Union Hills Drive, Glendale. Finally, Signing with Storytime will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 27, at Barnes & Noble, 13719 W. Bell Road, Surprise. Laura said the deaf mentor program

has been very helpful, and the plan is for Emma to enroll at Phoenix Day School for the Deaf. Once she is fluent in ASL, they plan to transition her to a mainstream school. Laura wants other parents of deaf children to know there is help out there, and encourages them to seek the resources to help their child. “I’d love for people to go out there and get help,” she said. “No matter what, go out and get involved, the better their life will be.” For more information, call the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing at 602-542-3323 or visit acdhh.org. For a list of resources, the official website for ASL is lifeprint.com. ASL interpreters are now required to be licensed through the Arizona Commission for the Deaf and the Hard of Hearing.

Seniors seen ‘horsing around’ Desert Harbor Lake BY MARLA LEVINE

He even recited some cowboy limericks, and strummed up such legendary lyrics as “Tumbling Tumbleweeds,” “I’m an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande),” and a sing-along to “Don’t Fence Me In.” “Born in 1951, my favorite cowboy song is ‘Rawhide,’” which Sprague sang from atop his trusty mount.

Peoria Times Staff Writer

As the high school softball season hits its mid-season break, several teams have set themselves up for a playoff push. Sectional play begins after spring break. Cactus is one of the top teams in the state as of spring break, having won 14 games. This is the second most in all of softball. Peoria has surprised with 13 wins, while Liberty won five of 10 games. Here is a breakdown of each division at the break.

tesy Cactus High School)

Sunrise Mountain’s Mustangs feature a young team with only three seniors on the roster. Led by senior Dallis Mitchell and junior Sydney Bickel, the team has been a bit of an early surprise, although with head coach Jody Pruitt in her 20th season, and only one losing record, Sunrise Mountain is always a

6A - Desert Valley section

Liberty sits at 5-5, while Mountain Ridge lost four of six games. Both sit in the middle of the Desert Valley section, where Pinnacle and Sandra Day O’Connor lead with six wins. Mountain Ridge has been led by Tiffany Williams – who ranks seventh in Arizona, with a 2.14 ERA – and Paige Calahan, who has a 3.71 ERA. Offensively, Megan Lake leads the team with a .615 batting average. Over at the Mountain Lions, Williams leads with six RBIs.

5A - Northwest section

In the tightest early section in the area, Sunrise Mountain is undefeated at 7-0, while Centennial has five wins and Ironwood, Kellis and Sunnyslope each have four.

challenger. Centennial has been led by Dren Meginnis and Hailey Galvez, who have each driven in 11 runs. Meginnis leads the section with a .714 batting average and hit four home runs to lead the Coyotes. Sydnie Sahhar has been strong on the mound with a 0.00 REA and Mariah Lopez has two wins. Kellis, which has won 14 games the previous three years combined, equaled last season’s win total (four) and has been one of the top surprises on the young season. Leah Calderon (.579 average), Sara

O’Connor (.556) and Suzie Normandin (.545) have been leading a young Cougars team that is building for the future under new head coach Todd Pyne. “We have been teaching them how to play and they have been picking everything up from the coaching staff,” Pyne said. “The girls are communicating better each week, and that has helped a lot.” Pyne has opened the team up and it shows, as O’Connor (12 stolen bases), Calderon (11), Lexy Macias (seven) and Mary Pearce (six) are the leaders in this category of the section. Jisselle Navejas, Nevaeh Ramos and Desarae Leyba each have four, ranking among leaders in the section. Sydney Roe has been strong on the mound, with three wins, 24 strikeouts and a 2.00 ERA to lead the Cougars. Ironwood, with four wins, has been led by Caitlyn Redwood, who has a .615 batting average, 12 runs and five stolen bases. Nancy Velez has two wins and Calianna Briner and Sarah Norton are also strong on the mound.

Locally, 4A starts and ends with Cactus, which has been one of the most dominant softball teams in the state, with 14 wins in the team’s first 16 games. Offensively, the Cobras have been dominating outscoring their opponents 182-36, with their two losses coming to 6A Hamilton and national powerhouse Long Beach (California) Millikan. Offensively, Kaytlin Leyvas (.581 average, 28 RBIs, three home runs), Alynah Torres (.660, 27 RBIs, nine HRs), McKenna Feringa (.558, 26 RBIs, three HRs) and Hannah DiFabio (.463, 20 RBIs, six doubles) all rank among the state leaders in hitting. Feringa has also been dominating on the mound, winning eight games. She has a 1.87 ERA and struck out 41, walking only 14 for the Cobras. Cactus is a heavy favorite to win the 4A state title. Peoria has been a surprise, with 13 wins before section play. The team could put on a challenge for a playoff spot. Sydney Castillo has 15 stolen bases. Andraya Romero ranks eighth in the state, with a 1.01 ERA, and ranks second with 122 strikeouts. Kellis sophomore Sydney Roe has led the Cougars’ rebirth, leading them to equaling their win total from last season during the preseason. (Photo by Darrell Jackson)

Pastor Delph: The game of thrones…and towels Here’s a thought for us to consider about the leadership. “Lovers of people are not always the greatest leaders of people and leaders of people are not always the greatest lovers of people.” In other words, love and leadership are not diametrically opposed; love and leadership can work together. Leadership is about managing relationships and tasks correctly and effectively. Jesus is a great example to learn from on this dilemma. Author John Maxwell notes there are three questions every follower asks of a leader. If you have a position of leadership in any capacity, you should be aware of these questions. It will help you in both loving and leading people. The three questions are: Do you like me? Can you help me? Can I trust you? In other words, will you add value to my life? Why would I follow you as a leader if you were going to use me and

perhaps abuse me solely for your own needs?” Think of it. “Do you like me?” has to do with the leader’s compassion. “Can you help me?” has to do with the leader’s competence. “Can I trust you?” has to do with the leader’s character. These three questions are the same in any culture, any country or any time. Leaders, take note. There’s a thin line between motivating followers to go from A to B and manipulating followers to go from A to B. Manipulating people is always wrong. Always. Here’s a great example of leaders

who manipulate and bully people and the solution for the problem from the Bible. “It was about that time that the mother of the Zebedee brothers came with her two sons and knelt before Jesus with a request. “What do you want?” Jesus asked. She said, “Give your word that these two sons of mine will be awarded the highest places of honor in your kingdom, one at your right hand, one at your left hand.” When the 10 others heard about this, they lost their tempers, thoroughly disgusted with the two brothers. So, Jesus got them together to settle things down. He said, “You’ve observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads. It’s not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be

great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served – and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage.” Parts from Matthew 20:20-28. Jesus is thinking, “This is a problem. I’ve got clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right; here I am, stuck in the middle with James, John and their mother. I’m going to have to bring my problem children to the altar for a lesson on leadership.” James and John wanted a “selfie” with Jesus to show their friends on Facebook how significant they were, making them envious because of who they were hanging out with. The disciples were dissing, disgusted and divided. I think they became envious, saying, in essence, “Me too…me too!” Let me paraphrase what Jesus is saying. “You think God runs His kingdom like the world’s leaders. But not so in God’s kingdom. Don’t let power go to your head or strive to be the center of attention. Don’t be a bully leader pushing and shoving your way in. Don’t use people as a means to your own ego-driven end. Everyone does that. “Do you want to be great? Great! Serve God by serving people. In the earth part of your life, the servant’s towel precedes the king’s throne. Godless leaders and bully manipulators have one thing on their mind: reign now and serve later. God wants you to serve now, reign later. Watch your E.G.O. Don’t ‘Edge God Out,’ but ‘Exalt God Only.’ How? Lead people by serving people.” In real leadership, the game of thrones is won by servant leaders, leading with a towel. The more you empower people, the more power you gain.

Students praise Honeywell Leadership Academy BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

Five local students, among many others from around the world, were recently selected to attend the annual Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy (HLCA) at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center (USSRC) in Huntsville, Alabama. Ritika Ravindran of Mountain Ridge, Zain Syed and Ethan van der Zweep of Liberty, Lewis Alejandro of Cactus and Amber Chow of Peoria BASIS attended the two-week program from February 23 through March 8. When applying for the camp, students had to verify their grades, as well as get a letter of recommendation from their counselors. They also had to present a resume showcasing volunteer activities. “It was a formal application which included submitting high school transcripts as well as three essays,” Syed said. “I was encouraged to apply and was selected.” More than 325 students from 35 countries and 25 states and territories were

selected for the camp this year. “I learned about the camp through my dad’s employment at Honeywell and decided to apply,” Ravindran said. For almost 10 years, HLCA has inspired students between Mountain Ridge student the ages of 16 and 18 to pursue Ritika Ravindran performs careers in science, technology, in a space suit during space camp in Alabama. engineering and mathematics (STEM) through hands-on activities, technology- and science-oriented workshops, lectures and team exercises. Honeywell developed the academy in conjunction with the USSRC to address education needs around the world. The academy introduces students to the legacy of the American Space Program, where they concentrate on addressing current issues within the science and technology community. Students had different ideas on what they expected when they left for the camp. “I thought it was going to be like the summer space camp that I attended as a child at the Challenger Space Center in Peoria, Arizona,” Ravindran said. “I expected a lot of

space-related activities and lectures.” Syed thought “it was going to mostly be history of the museum and some interactive workshops.” He added, “It exceeded my expectations.” Students got the opportunity to meet NASA scientists, engineers and former astronauts. “We were able to interact with the scientists and engineers pretty closely, and we were able to ask anything, ranging from technical questions to advice for the future,” Syed said. Numerous retired and current NASA employees spoke to the students about their experiences. “One of them was Robert ‘Hoot’ Gibson, an astronaut who had been on five shuttle missions. They had interesting and engaging presentations regarding their careers and the future of NASA,” Ravindran said. “These lectures were embedded with leadership lessons that helped the HLCA participants become better leaders. After their presentations, we had opportunities to ask them questions.” Students also designed, built and tested their own rockets along with the chance to develop computer programs to calculate their rockets’ altitude and velocity. Students were also given the opportunity to participate in training

simulations, such as shuttle missions and a moon walk. “I enjoyed the mock space mission that we did the most,” Ravindran said. “I was one of the flight engineers, so I had to wear an entire space suit (icepacks, jacket, space boots, helmet, gloves and communication set) and model building something in space. I sat in this chair that simulated how it felt being in space while building a house-like structure with a partner.” He added, “I had to communicate with mission command and follow exact instructions to make my mission successful. I enjoyed this activity because it was very engaging, tested my team skills and gave me a unique experience.” Syed said he also enjoyed the handson projects, though he was focused on other areas. “Putting together and programming the Raspberry Pi was my favorite. It exposed me to a side of engineering I had not seen before,” Syed said. “I plan to major in engineering, and the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy reinforced my goals.” Ravindran added that the academy also reinforced his ideas of what he wants to do when he gets to college. “I was planning to major in a predominant STEM field, and the Honeywell Leadership Challenge Academy assured my path in science. I am now surer than ever that my future is STEM,” Ravindran said. While the students all said they enjoyed the hands-on work and projects, they said it was more than just about the STEM projects. “The relationships I built with so many different people from all over the world was the most I got,” Syed said. Both Syed and Ravindran said they would consider applying again. “If I could attend the camp with the same people in my group, I would love to,” Ravindran said. “I actually wished the camp had lasted longer than it did (10 days instead of five). This camp was one of the most fun weeks of my life and enlightened me on the lives of people in other parts of the world.”

Arizona Gives Day set for April BY STEVE CARR Peoria Times Staff Writer

Talk to anyone involved with a nonprofit organization and it doesn’t take long to feel their passion. What inspires their engagement in a purpose is as diverse as the causes they champion. Their zeal to make a difference is unquestionable. The path to success, though, may not always be a straight line when you factor in staffing needs, recruiting volunteers and, perhaps most importantly, building and funding a budget. That last consideration is often the most difficult, particularly for smaller nonprofits without both the bandwidth and brand awareness to reach broader donor audiences. Arizona Gives Day helps level that playing field for organizations like Peoria’s AZK9 Rescue and Arizona Safe

Baby Haven Foundation in Glendale. The 24-hour online fundraising event, presented by FirstBank and hosted by the Alliance of Arizona Nonprofits and the Arizona Grantmakers Forum, is Tuesday, April 2. “Our goal is to provide critically important donations that enable Arizona nonprofits of every size to continue the good work they do in communities across the state,” Alliance for Arizona Nonprofits Chief Executive Officer Kristen Merrifield said. “For the smaller nonprofits, Arizona Gives Day puts them on the same playing field with the large charities that may have more exposure or a larger donor base.” Both AZK9 Rescue and Arizona Safe Baby Haven Foundation are limitedbudget volunteer-driven nonprofits that look to Arizona Gives Day to generate new, unexpected funding and

awareness to potential donors “who may not know about us,” AZK9 Rescue Founder Aaron Bolduck said. “We don’t have an actual facility like some of the bigger animal rescue organizations. We’re based out of houses with an individual foster system.” Merrifield said, “Giving to organizations that are specifically focused on their communities is like hyper-investing in those communities and the issues that are important to you in your city and town. And, they’re not having to expend as many resources because we are doing much of that on their behalf.” AZK9 Rescue operates in and around Peoria. While Arizona Safe Baby Haven Foundation is headquartered in Glendale, its reach extends across the state. “Arizona Gives Day gives us an opportunity to raise awareness for our cause and what our foundation does and the safe haven baby model, and to expand our outreach for the different campaigns we do around the state,” Executive Director Damien Johnson said. “Our organization is 100-percent volunteer run so every dollar that comes in goes right back into funding the different programs we run.” More than 715 organizations across the state have registered and been vetted for Arizona Gives Day this year. Donations are made through AzGives. org’s secure platform. For interested donors, AzGives.org also is available for year-round giving and offers an advanced search filter to find nonprofits by specific criteria, area of focus and which donations may qualify as an Arizona tax credit.

NAOMI AND ELLA Donors also can create an account to pre-schedule donations or can check out as a guest, set up recurring donations, and make changes to their giving throughout the year. “We want to make giving as easy as possible, and donors have shared they like having a place that has a whole list of nonprofits to choose from,” Merrifield said.
