Organization, fire departments partner to rescue pets BY JORDAN ROGERS
Peoria Times Staff Writer
Fire departments around the Valley work tirelessly and diligently to rescue those in crisis due to fires. There is so much to account for in making sure those affected in the situation are taken care of. Due to such a laundry list of responsibilities, pets are often left being far from the top priority and are often separated from their families. But thanks to Companion Pets in Crisis, pets involved in a crisis are in a much better position to be taken care of. Companion Pets in Crisis, or CPiC, is a nonprofit organization that works to keep pets and their families together in a time of
crisis. Lisa Martin, CPiC’s founder and executive director, was working as a volunteer responder with the Phoenix Fire Department in 2015 when she saw a need and eventually launched an initiative to fill that void. “We would go on many calls, and we were there to help the family, but they always had pets involved and there was nobody there for the pets,” she said. “Sometimes we couldn’t help the family if there was nobody there to help with the pets. For example, if somebody Companion Pets in Crisis partners with local fire de- needed to go to the hospital, but a partments to save animals in times of crisis. (Companion Pets in Crisis/Submitted)

Matthew Sartorius has taken over as the new chief operations officer at the Abrazo Community Health Network’s Arrowhead campus. Sartorius, 30, previously held the position of vice president of operations at Stone Springs Hospital Center in Dulles, Virginia. During his time with Stone Springs, he led all operational activities and executed strategic priorities. Under his leadership, the hospital saw growth in key services,
employee and physician engagement, and quality. With Abrazo Arrowhead, Sartorius will be responsible for the day-to-day operations of the surgery, lab and biomedical engineering facilities, among many others. Sartorius began work with Abrazo Arrowhead on Feb. 21 and is thus far enjoying his time in the West Valley. “I’m really, really liking Arrowhead,” he said. “The culture here is phenomenal. There’s a lot of good things going on as far as growth goes. I’m really, really enjoying it.”
Sartorius attended the University of North Florida, where he received a bachelor’s degree in health administration, and master’s degrees in both health administration and business administration. Education is something he considers to be very important, and he cited it as a reason as to why he was interested in working at Abrazo Arrowhead. The hospital offers graduate medical education courses for medical school graduates. “It’s one of the things that attracted me not only to Abrazo but Arrowhead, because

of some of the (graduate medical education) courses here and some of the great things we do around education,” Sartorius said. “Training our next generation of positions is exciting to me, and it’s great getting to witness that firsthand.” His interest in the company didn’t stop at education. He said that he is excited to be at one of the top facilities in Arizona. Abrazo is ranked seventh out of 109 hospitals in the state of Arizona, according to a study done by U.S. News and World Report. “I couldn’t be happier to be with Abrazo. It’s a great system,” Sartorius said. “Arrowhead’s a large hospital and one of the better ones. It’s one of the fastest-growing systems, too. There are a lot of things going on. “The facilities are going to continue

to grow, especially here at Arrowhead with everything we have going on. I’m excited to be here and be part of the growth. Also, the great reputation that Arrowhead has as one of the better hospitals in Arizona overall.” Sartorius said Abrazo Arrowhead will continue to invest in services that will benefit the community in the West Valley. He is looking forward to welcoming Phoenix Children’s Hospital to the Abrazo Arrowhead Campus in spring 2024. “(Phoenix Children’s Hospital) will be a great addition for the West Valley’s residents,” he said. For Sartorius, there are a surplus of reasons as to why he’s happy to be working at Abrazo Arrowhead, but at the end of the day, it comes down to three: quality, reputation and growth. PT

pet would have been left behind, they would not go to the hospital.” Though CPiC only initially worked under the wing of the Phoenix Fire Department at its start, the organization now serves all of Maricopa County. It is available seven days a week, and Martin said they receive calls to respond upward of three to four times per week. “We’re very honored to be partnered with the fire department,” Martin said. “We find ourselves like an extension of the fire department; we really work closely with the crisis responders. They’re the ones who call us when we’re working with a family in crisis.” Glendale Fire’s public information officer, Capt. Ashley Losch, is equally as honored to be working with CPiC. She said having them to step in and assist in everyone’s time of need is incredible. “They provide a valuable resource that we didn’t even know that we needed until they became available to us,” Losch said. “In the past, clearly, we’re rescuing animals, but when there’s no family there to take care of them or they don’t have any ways to take care of them post-fire, they’re most concerned about taking care of their children. What are they going to do? How are they going to take care of their family? Oftentimes, the pets get left aside.
Before starting CPiC, Lisa Martin worked as a volunteer responder with the Phoenix Fire Department. (Companion Pets in Crisis/Submitted)
“Companion Pets in Crisis just is an incredible resource for them, but also for us. We don’t always know what to do; if we rescue a pet that is deceased in
a fire, that is horrible for all of us.” For Martin, it is a pleasure to give the fire department and community this type of resource. Typically, CPiC gets a call to respond immediately after an animal is deemed to be involved. They arrive briefly after the fire has been put out. CPiC’s services even extend past the more common house pets such as dogs and cats. Martin listed snakes, bearded dragons, guinea pigs and ducks as some of the other animals they have just recently worked with. If pets are injured at the scene of the crisis, CPiC will transport the pet to an emergency animal hospital and will even cover the initial cost of getting the animal stabilized. The organization also finds no-kill shelters for pets that are unable to be kept due to any unforeseen circumstance. In addition, they will go as far to get deceased animals cremated and give the remains to the families at no cost. “If somebody’s house burnt down and they may need to be displaced and they have no place for their pet to go in an emergency type of situation,” Martin said. “It’s just nice to be able to provide that service for the families and can help them move forward through their recovSEE PETS PAGE 4

ery process.” Losch said Companion Pets in Crisis has been a seamless and very valuable addition to the team. “We’re just overjoyed for all of the communities that they serve, because again, it is a service that you didn’t know that you needed until you do need it,” she said. “When you need it and there is nobody there to fill it, you feel helpless, and that is not something fire departments want to do. We like to have answers and solutions, so to be able to call our partners and know that other communities can do the same, that’s the best gift.” It is a cause that many fire recruits are excited to work with as well. Shane Wright, a recruit for the Arizona Fire Medical Authority, is looking forward to working with CPiC after he finishes up the recruitment process. “I think it’s super awesome,” Wright said. “For me, my fiancé lost two of her dogs this past year, so I’m super, super passionate about dogs and animals.” Martin’s organization operates entirely on donations and volunteers. She is currently in need of more volunteers. Donations can be made to Companion Pets in Crisis at cpicaz.org. In addition to accepting monetary donations, people can donate items such as crates of any size, dog and cat food, and potty pads, among many other items. “People should donate to them if they value the service as much as we do,” Losch said. “What they do is just wonderful, and they do it without getting paid. They do it out of the goodness of their hearts, but they can’t continue to do it if they don’t have donations. If people are interested in donating, it would be great.” PT

Neuropathy Is Often Misdiagnosed It’s important to determine the cause of these neuropathy symptoms, oftentimes it’s PAD (peripheral artery disease). PAD is caused by the buildup of fatty material inside the arteries which hardens into plaque. When this occurs, it limits the amount of blood that passes through the arteries.
BY REISHA ZANG
PHOENIX –Neuropathy is a condition that involves damage to the nerves in your hands and feet. “Muscle cramping, difficulty walking, burning, tingling, numbness, and pain in the legs or feet are symptoms people living with neuropathy experience on a daily basis,” explains Dr. Kerry Zang, podiatric medical director of CIC Foot & Ankle. “The thing is these symptoms are very similar to those of PAD. They are so similar that in many cases, people are given a diagnosis of neuropathy when in reality it isn’t.” With a diagnosis of neuropathy often comes a prescription for neurotropic medication. “Medicine isn’t a cure, it’s a way to suppress the symptoms,” says Zang. “The concern with that is if it’s not neuropathy causing the symp-

YES / NO
Do you have difficulty walking without taking a break? Do you have pain, numbness, or cramping in legs or feet? Is your neuropathy treatment not working? Neuropathy symptoms are very similar to those of PAD. It’s a circulation disorder which can be easily treated in our office without the need for general anesthesia. If you’ve answered “yes” to any of the questions above, call our office today to see how our doctors can help.
(602) 954-0777 cicmedical.com DR. JOEL RAINWATER / DR. MICHAEL SWITZER / DR. HASSAN MAKKI / DR. KERRY ZANG DR. SHAH ASKARI / DR. DAN SCHULMAN / DR. KIM LEACH / DR. BARRY KAPLAN / DR. JEFF WEISS
“Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to your feet which they need to stay healthy,” explains Zang, “When your feet aren’t getting an adequate supply, they start sending signals.” Those signals include pain, burning, tingling, numbness, or cramping. The good news is that PAD is treatable. Specialists are able to perform an angiogram which lets them see if disease is present. This minimally invasive procedure is done through a
tiny nick in the skin in an office setting. “So, what we do,” explains Dr. Joel Rainwater, MD endovascular specialist, “is go into the bloodstream to find the blockage with imaging guidance. Then with small tools that can go into the smallest arteries, remove the blockage, and restore that blood flow without surgery, without scalpels, without stitches.” Getting the proper diagnosis is the first step to getting better. “It’s all about finding out what’s causing the problem,” says Zang. “When your feet burn, tingle, or feel numb, it’s your body telling you it needs help, and you should listen. In fact, if you are experiencing any type of discomfort or things just don’t seem right, tell your doctor. The only way we can help is if you let us know you need it.”
Heel Pain Is On The Rise The weather has a big impact on heel pain. As the days cool down, our activity levels heat up. Going for a walk, playing a round of golf, and hiking are all possible again with the temperature below 100 degrees. But you need to pay attention to your feet. “Getting back to a normal lifestyle can be a shock to your feet, especially to your heels,” says Dr. Shah Askari of CIC Foot & Ankle. More than two million Americans suffer from plantar fasciitis, a sharp, stabbing, sometimes burning pain in the heel or arch of the foot. It’s anticipated this number will rise as people start taking advantage of better weather. It typically hurts when first getting up, may lessen after a few steps but always returns. In the past, a cortisone injection was the treatment of choice.
“Cortisone manages the pain, but it doesn’t address what’s causing the pain,” explains Askari. Now, treatment focuses on the condition, not just the symptom. “Regenerative medicine is one of the most promising ways to deal with pain, because it triggers the body to heal,” he explains. “Prolotherapy is an option that uses a natural irritant which starts the healing process.” Growth factor therapy also jump starts and maintains regeneration of new tissues. In addition, the FDA recently approved cold laser therapy for plantar fasciitis. “Laser treatment is another way to treat heel pain, because it increases circulation, which promotes healing,” says Askari. “It’s all about healing.”

AJ lawmaker wins prize for dumbest legislation BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist
As we head toward April and the Arizona legislative session winds down, the fierce competition for the dumbest idea yet appears to be over. This year’s honors go to Apache Junction Rep. John Fillmore for his tireless efforts to destroy the state’s voting system with his masterpiece, now known as House Bill 2289. Fillmore’s mantra, as quoted from a hearing on election matters: “We need to get back to 1958-style voting.” How would that work, you ask? Fillmore’s bill would require all state, county, city and town elections to be
conducted using only paper ballots. And for all results to be counted by hand. Because, you know, machines are bad. The bill would also ban voting by mail — which has existed in Arizona since 1991 — and instead require virtually all Arizona voters to go to the polls in person to cast paper ballots. Because, as we all know, waiting in line was America’s favorite hobby circa 1958. Fillmore’s bill also mandates that all voting and hand-counting of ballots must be completed “within 24 hours of the polls closing.” Because human beings in the state’s 15 counties should be able to accurately and efficiently count to 3,420,565 — the number of votes cast in Arizona’s still-contested
2020 election — in a day. 1958, of course, being the peak of human efficiency as we know it. Fillmore’s bill was killed early in the session by House Speaker Rusty Bowers, a Mesa Republican who assigned the bill to a dozen committees for hearings — a move Fillmore called a “12-committee lynching.” The measure resurfaced March 21 in the Senate government committee, where it passed on 4-3 party line vote. While I don’t see this one becoming law, that’s not really what interests me. I’m far more fascinated by Fillmore himself, whose campaign website — not very 1958 of you, sir — touts his experience as “a veteran, a businessman, and an entrepreneur.” Fillmore’s 2021 election filings list him as the president of a Mesa busi-
ness called the Weather Shack. This, too, surprises me. See, I had pictured Fillmore living more of a 1958 lifestyle — or, hell, maybe more like 1858. He and the wife gathered around the kitchen table most nights, reading the Constitution by candlelight, or enjoying a sweltering Arizona evening minus air conditioning. Wouldn’t you know it, though, Fillmore’s business sells fancy gas and electric fireplaces and state-of-the-art home cooling systems! What kind of guy trusts machines to govern the temperature of his home when a nice pile of logs or some natural Arizona sunshine will do just fine? That’s an Arizona legislator for you: living in comfort while doing his or SEE PRIZE PAGE 8
ESPN devolving as it skews toward leftist rants BY J.D. HAYWORTH Peoria Times Columnist
ESPN is headed for a reckoning. Sadly, that once pioneering enterprise has engaged in self-sabotage, alienating a large portion of its once faithful audience by its recurring insistence on advocating a leftist political agenda. The Entertainment and Sports Programming Network premiered Sept. 7,1979. Those early years featured programming that was more novelty than nirvana. Australian rules football, slow pitch softball, and tractor pulls supplied much of the show inventory. Yet ESPN’s signature program, SportsCenter, has been a mainstay from day one. It was the catalyst for the incredible increase in audience ratings,
the understandable rise in advertising dollars and the inevitable attraction for corporate acquisition. In 1984, ABC purchased ESPN. ABC, in turn, was acquired by Capital Cities Communications the following year. Then, in 1996, Capital Cities/ ABC was bought by The Walt Disney Co. By that time, there was nothing “Mickey Mouse” about the sports channel. The Mouse House execs gained great appreciation — and a whole lot of money — from the way the cable channel accrued revenue. In 1997, ESPN earned 65 cents of every dollar from cable subscription fees and the remaining 35 cents from advertising. ABC Sports, once “recognized around the world as the leader in sports television,” morphed into a memory. By September 2006, sports events
airing on that network were rebranded “ESPN on ABC.” Major American institutions started rethinking how they might take advantage of “opportunities” with ESPN — especially the White House. In 1998, President Bill Clinton was trying to move past the Monica Lewinsky scandal. He directed his staff to offer the sports channel a chance to televise a special with him as host and moderator of a panel discussion on race relations. Of course, the White House predicated the offer on the condition that Clinton would not be asked about his intimate relations with Miss Lewinsky. ESPN readily agreed. With that “presidential precedent” established, another chief executive made effective use of his “political Jackie Robinson” status to enjoy an even closer relationship with ESPN. Barack Obama used his interest in
basketball to establish a yearly ESPN event. The one-time “community organizer” would spend quite a bit of time organizing his brackets for “March Madness.” There certainly was a method to the madness as ESPN gained recurring access to the Oval Office and Obama gained a new image as a “regular guy.” The regularity of ESPN’s rapport with Democrat administrations went to a record extreme last spring. Joe Biden used an interview appearance on opening day of the MLB season to open a line of attack on Georgia’s election reform legislation. “Jim Crow 2.0,” Biden called it. The cable channel led the “Amen Chorus,” essentially aiding Biden in the successful effort to pull the All-Star Game out of Atlanta. The political madness returned with SEE SKEWS PAGE 8

Pest problems: ‘Creep’ calm and carry on BY JUDY BLUHM Peoria Times Columnist
I saw a spider. I went to the bathroom at 2 in the morning and there, sitting on a wall, was a big brown spider. She had eyes like the devil, glaring at me. It so unnerved me that I ran into the bedroom and told my husband, Doug, to please get up. “A spider is in the bathroom,” I yelled. He rolled over and put a pillow over his head. I turned on a light and said that this is a “really big

spider” and I need help! Doug muttered, “OK. In the morning.” What about right now? What if that spider crawls out of the bathroom across the bedroom and climbs up into our bed? How can I sleep with a huge arachnid close by who was staring at me with evil eyes? Doug, wake up! But no, I am left to deal with this pest all by myself. He did roll over and mutter, “Just close the bathroom door.” Thanks, Doug. Well, spiders will not be stopped by a door! In fact, their very supple bodies can creep under doors, through the cracks of screens or windows, down through vents. Oh, Lordy, help me. Spiders can go wherever they please! I decided the only safe thing to do was go into the guest bedroom, close the door and try to forget about the eight-legged intruder. Oh, and although I know my
friend, Diane, welcomes a tarantula every year into her home (whom she calls Manuel), this spider did not seem friendly like Manuel! When I told my friends and family my predicament about that night, I received lots of (unhelpful) advice. My grandson said I should have put on a pair of shoes, swatted the spider off the wall with a magazine and then stomped on it. OK, but what if it fell on me? Or ran away? My neighbor said I should have had a stiff drink and put the empty glass over the spider and then slipped a piece of paper on top of the glass and let the beast loose outside. Really? Who wants to be fooling around with a glass, paper and live spider in the middle of the night? My girlfriend said I should have just kept nudging Doug to get up, because that is what the marriage vow entails “for better or worse,
till spider do us part.” Actually, I am not alone with my fear of spiders. Psychologists claim that 1 in 3 people on the planet are pretty scared of arachnids. And another third of the population finds spiders “disgusting.” Oh, but I digress. So where is my little eight-legged intruder? After a good night’s sleep, Doug handed me a cup of coffee and winked at me, saying that the “house is secure” and “spider free.” I have never been more suspicious in my life. Somewhere in my house, I think a brown spider might be lurking. All I can do is creep calm and carry on. PT Judy Bluhm is a writer and a local Realtor. Have a story or a comment?

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, our 90 elected representatives have dropped 147 different bills remodeling elections laws so far in 2022, touching on everything from which forms of identification will be allowed at the polls to how and when election recounts will be mandatory. At the root of most of these bills rests two things: a certainty that the 2020 election was fraudulent and stolen from Donald Trump — an accusation that has never been proven, even after multiple audits — and a supreme

Local restaurants respond to Spring Training revival BY JORDAN ROGERS
Peoria Times Staff Writer
Major League Baseball hosted events during its 2021 season that created some much-needed excitement surrounding the sport. Neutral-site games at the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and the Field of Dreams Game in Dyersville, Iowa, drove viewership. In addition, 2021’s postseason galvanized fans of the game and saw a franchise in the Atlanta Braves win its first World Series title. Coming off a shortened 2020 season that saw games played without fans due to COVID-19, it was exactly what the game needed. What immediately followed was borderline catastrophic for the game: The league locked out its players. The two sides would need to come to
terms on a new collective bargaining agreement before games — regular season or Spring Training — would be played. That lockout ended one day shy of hitting the century mark. After an extensive amount of back and forth between the two sides, the owners and players, seemingly at the death, agreed on a new CBA. Though the season was recovered, and players began immediately reporting to Spring Training camps, the number of Spring Training games that would be played was essentially cut in half because the two sides could not reach an agreement quickly enough. Many local restaurants near Cactus League facilities were left wondering how big an impact this year’s edition of Spring Training would have on their restaurants. “Is it going to make a difference? Are people still coming? It’s a little

last minute to make any changes,” said Ian Harwell, owner and operator of Ground Control. He said Spring Training brings a lot of customers to his restaurant, making the time period his busiest of the year.

Football player inspires others through Show the World brand BY LAURA LATZKO
Peoria Times Staff Writer
Kahliq Muhammad is known for his football skills. While he is still pursuing football, he also wants make an impact on others through his creativity and impact on the world. This has pushed him over the last year to develop his brand Show the World, which has started out with clothing but will soon expand to include music, media and mentorship programs as well. Muhammad is working closely with people who are important to him, including his brother Kahlil, a 21-yearold music producer and sound engineer. His team is also made up of Ja-
len Scott, Ben Black, Xzavier Minor, Haylee Dawn, Chris Penns and Destin Nasr. Although he recently started his brand, “show the world” is a saying that has carried throughout his life. Muhammad played for Peoria High School and went on to play college ball at Clarion University. Recently, he signed with the professional arena football team the Sioux Falls Storm. Often, Muhammad has viewed and defined himself by football, but as he has grown and matured, he has found that he has a lot more to offer. His brand fits with his overall motto of wanting to prove his worth as a human being.
He went through a challenging time over a five-month period after he sustained an ankle injury last December. He didn’t know if he would ever be able to play again and experienced depression. At the time, he didn’t know what to do with himself, because football had been such an integral part of his life. Designing clothing again and starting his brand helped him during this time. “I got lost in a place where football was all I thought I had. I don’t want kids to be in the same situation. I want to inspire them to prove people wrong and be the masters of their own destinies,” Muhammad said. Show the World is inspired by athletes like himself.
“I understand how athletes dress. It’s a comfortable lifestyle brand that you can wear out. I want you to feel empowered and have positivity in your day,” Muhammad said. Muhammad designs his clothing, and a local company manufactures them. The brand was meant for people of different ages and demographics. Working as a crossing guard for three months while he was recovering from his injury in Peoria helped Muhammad to get further insight into what young people wear. It also inspired him to want to give them other options. “I wanted to fill the void after seeing children wearing the same things SEE BRAND PAGE 11

miles away from Camelback Ranch, the facility that hosts the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox. It roasts its own coffee beans, specializes in wood-fired pizza, and offers many local beers on tap. “We’re a locally owned small business,” Harwell said. “We make everything in-house. Everything is hand-crafted, from our cocktails to our food, and we make our sauces and dough daily. Everything that we do, we make in-house.” Harwell said his restaurant is noticeably busier during a normal Spring Training season. Though the amount of clientele from this year’s Spring Training is up in the air, Ground Control will be ready if it gets busy. “We always have to keep up with that and plan for an influx of customers if they do come,” said Stephanie, marketing director and Harwell’s wife. Opa Life, another restaurant that attracts guests attending Spring Training games at Camelback Ranch, specializes in Greek cuisine. It operates
just under 3 miles from the facility. “We have people from Los Angeles that have been coming here for years to watch the (Los Angeles) Dodgers for Spring Training and look forward to coming out to Opa,” said Alan Krier, managing member and operator. “They know me, and they know the restaurant and the food. It was good to see them start coming back this week.” When games were canceled by the league, Krier wasn’t exactly surprised. He said he followed the back and forth very closely and predicted the two sides not being able to come to terms in time for a full Spring Training season to commence. “I had already planned on, in my head, not having games about four or five months ago because I follow baseball very closely and saw where things were going,” Krier said. “I didn’t think they were going to be able to work it out. I wasn’t totally shocked, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t disappointed.”
especially helped him to save money as a college student. He has been able to network with other football players who are also interested in fashion, and they have learned from each other. “We are all on the same journey and are helping each other,” Muhammad said. He had started another brand called Off Topic about 5 years ago. It didn’t take off like he thought, but he learned from it. “I was a lot younger when I made this and had no clue what I was doing. At this time, I had no passion for it or purpose, so it was easy to stop doing it to focus more on football,” Muhammad said. During his time off while injured, Muhammad rediscovered his interest in fashion design and had the time to really explore and pursue it. He feels that Show the World is more representative of who he is and what he hopes
to accomplish. Muhammad has an associate’s degree in business from Scottsdale Community College and is one semester away from getting a bachelor’s degree in sports management. He hopes to use his degree in the future, but right now his focus is football and fashion. He didn’t always have a clear direction in life, which impacted his relationship with his parents. As a teen, he was kicked out of his house and lived with friends and ex-girlfriends for a time. His good friend and roommate, Omari McCauley, helped him to turn his life around while at Scottsdale Community College. He pushed him to focus on academics and to continue to train hard. “He changed my life by just his work ethic and way of thinking, in which he sees everything from a growth view-

over and over again, basically supporting people who don’t even care about them,” Muhammad said. “So, I want to be able to provide the youth with affordable, fashionable clothing with a purpose. “I wanted it to be accessible and youthful stuff that is reasonably priced for kids who can’t afford to have these other brands,” Muhammad said. He already has people around the world wearing his clothes. He started out on a more local level because he wanted to inspire Peoria kids to move beyond their circumstances and pursue their dreams. “I first wanted to reach out to my community to showcase that we can accomplish anything and promote a positive lifestyle. Because coming from that area, people can fall victim to circumstances that arise in our everyday lives, and I want show that there is way,” Muhammad said. Thus far, his brand has mainly fo-
cused on clothing items such as jerseys, T-shirts and sweatshirts, but he hopes to continue to expand. In April, he plans to launch a summer collection that will include shorts and new T-shirt designs. His brand will have sizes for bigger men and women, including football players. “I don’t want them to feel excluded. We are trying to build a diversity of sizes,” Muhammad said. Muhammad first started designing clothes for himself while attending Scottsdale Community College because he couldn’t find any clothes he liked in stores. “All of my designs are stuff I made by getting up and doing it, teaching myself to create designs. I kept learning as I went along,” Muhammad said. He uses his phone to design clothing. He will often take advantage of free trials of apps, using them to create up to 20 designs in a few days. He said this

point and sees the positive in any situation,” Muhammad said. “We were extremely dedicated and determined. And then, we followed that up with discipline. He had me at another level in my life. He was also a big help getting things right with my parents, with talking to me about my situation and giving me a new perspective on life.” He believes his religion has also helped him to become a stronger, more well-rounded person. “It wasn’t until I began to really put God first that my life started to become a sturdy house, giving me the foundation. … I could then translate all my blessings from God but also all the lessons from the game of football to
my life and apply those principles into anything I want to accomplish,” Muhammad said. Football has been important in his life in providing him with a routine, consistency, determination and a platform. He started playing football in high school. His favorite sport was actually basketball, which he played from around age 6 to high school. He decided to focus on football because of the talent he showed as a receiver. Muhammad comes from a creative family, with siblings who have also been making their mark on the world at young ages.
His sister Zuri, 14, co-founded Zuri’s Circle, a nonprofit that helps homeless people to get access to the food, water, clothing and hygiene products they need. Like his sister Zuri, Muhammad has tried to give back but through sports. He has done sports camps for youth in other states and plans in the near future to host basketball and football camps for young people in Peoria. His brother Israail, 9, promotes literacy amongst children by reading books to others on Instagram, and his brother Idris, 12, is part of the Peoria gardening program. Muhammad has already been incorporating his siblings into his brand, and
they are working on larger-scale projects. “I want to keep it family oriented. By building projects and incorporating all of my family, my team and their families, we can begin the process of generational wealth,” Muhammad said. He said that his parents encouraged him and his siblings to develop their own interests and express themselves in their own ways. “We formed our own identities and have all found our paths. We all have different skills and have supported each other,” Kahliq said. More information on Show the World is available at ShowTheWorld.co. PT

Burlington opens new store, donating $5,000 to local school BY JORDAN ROGERS
Peoria Times Staff Writer
Burlington has opened a new location near Arrowhead Towne Center. The new store hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on its inaugural day, March 25, 15 minutes prior to opening, where teachers from Sonoran Science Academy received a $5,000 check from Burlington, along with its partner AdoptAClassroom.org. AdoptAClassroom.org is an organization that focuses on children having access to all the necessary tools and materials needed to learn and succeed in school. Since 1998, it has raised $57 million and supported more than 5.8 million students across the United States. Burlington Regional Vice President Shelley York said she is grateful to have a successful partnership with them. Funds from the donation will be used to help teachers purchase the necessary materials for their classrooms so that
their students can excel academically. “We always hear from teachers about how important that is, because a lot of times, they are paying for it out of their own pockets,” York said. In addition, Burlington gave its first 100 customers, aged 18 and up, a $5 bonus card on its opening day to be used toward their next purchase. Free Burlington umbrellas were also given out on March 26. Burlington does currently have a store roughly 5 miles from the new location, but York said the growth of the city of Peoria was something the company found attractive. “(Peoria’s) growing immensely,” she said. “It has a great customer base for us.” The company is planning on reaching 2,000 total stores over the next few years, and York said she feels very fortunate for the company to be in a position to continue expanding. Burlington offers brand-name merchandise at below-retail cost that in-
cludes layaway options, a model that plays an instrumental role in that opportunity. “We add great value, so if you are a little concerned about how to spend your money, we are a great place for you to spend it because of the great value that we offer,” she said. In addition to the moderate pricing, Burlington offers a diverse selection of new items in store every day. “You’re going to find something different every day,” York said. “We get deliveries almost every single day, and it’s new and unique product. You won’t see the same thing from day to day in our stores.” “We cover all categories. When you think about men’s, women’s, kids, shoes, accessories, home — you’re going to find something great every time you come into the building.” York is looking forward to welcoming returning and new shoppers to the new location. “Hopefully they’ll come check us
out if they haven’t shopped with us before,” she said. “If they’ve already shopped with us, we are closer to home now and are a little more convenient.” The new location can be found at 7685 W. Bell Road. PT

Opa Life receives a substantial bump in clientele when Spring Training games are going on, so Krier was elated when an agreement made it so games would still be played, despite it being fewer than usual. “It has a really strong impact,” he said. “I was really glad that it came together at the last second. It seemed like it was not going to happen at all, and all of the sudden Major League Baseball made a deal. We were really happy. It makes it a lot more steady during some slower hours of operation.” According to Krier, the impact of games being revived was almost immediate. The restaurant was getting business from Spring Training within an hour of an agreement being made. “There were already people in town when games got canceled because they had already booked their vacations,” he said. Camelback Ranch is not the only facility offering many nearby restaurant options.

eral manager Tim Dernick said. “We know that Spring Training every year is a great time to pull people in and keep them coming back.” Dernick admits there is still a lot up in the air. He’s unsure if his restaurant will see the influx and numbers it normally gets from Spring Training due to the initial cancellation of games. “(Games being canceled) was disheartening,” he said. “We were definitely keeping an eye on it and hoping that something would come to grips. Up until a couple of weeks ago, the reality of the situation was that it looked like it wasn’t going to happen.” With the way things are currently trending, Dernick believes his store will see a boost. He said Angry Crab Shack is ready for it. His restaurant is noticeably busier during Spring Training, so he is just grateful to be getting anything at all. “I’m glad they’ve got that going on
and they’re giving us a little bit of that this year,” he said. “I know the company itself takes it very seriously. We look forward to it and we know that not only does it bring in an uptick in sales and foot traffic, but we get different people from different areas that have never experienced the type of restaurant we are. “It really gives us an opportunity to show what we do by providing a level of service and hospitality that could spread by word of mouth, not only in Arizona but states all over the country, because we bring people in from all over during Spring Training.” Dernick said that immediately following games being reinstated, corporate sent a companywide email to all of the Angry Crab Shacks in the area outlining just how important the next couple of weeks will be. “We realize and recognize that there is a real opportunity to put on the best experience possible for these guests, because you never know who’s coming in,” he said. Dernick believes Spring Training is immensely important for restaurants in the Valley. Despite a shortened season, for Dernick, having games at all is huge for the local restaurant industry. “The restaurant industry is kind of in a flux right now, and it’s been difficult coming out of a time where a lot of restaurants were closing. But we recognize this as an opportunity to grow as a company and grow our base. “As with any restaurant in the Valley, Spring Training plays a huge factor,” Dernick said. “It’s a driving force in the community and the autonomy for all the metropolitan Phoenix area.” PT

Coyotes ink Jack McBain to 2-year deal BY JORDAN ROGERS
Peoria Times Staff Writer
The NHL’s trade deadline came and went, and the Arizona Coyotes were active. Among a flurry of moves, the team traded for center Jack McBain from the Minnesota Wild for a 2022 second-round pick. McBain was originally drafted by the Wild in the third round of the 2018 NHL Entry Draft. The Coyotes held a press conference March 23 to announce the acquisition and signing of the contract. “Today is a proud day for our organization to sign Jack McBain to a twoyear deal,” general manager Bill Armstrong said. “We had to out-recruit the majority of NHL teams to persuade Jack, his family, his agent that we were the right organization for him.” Armstrong has been watching McBain’s progression as a player and person since he was 16 years old. He believes the young center is the perfect fit for the Coyotes organization. “The way that he plays is perfect for what we need as an organization,” Armstrong said. “He’s a power forward that can play a skilled role. He can jump in and can finish around the net.” McBain has certainly kept himself busy over the last year. He opted to go back to school and play his senior season for Boston College and got the opportunity to represent Team Canada at the 2022 Winter Olympics. The Olympics, he said, gave him a real opportunity to prove that his skill

set would make the leap to the next level. He learned a lot during his time in Beijing. “It was a great opportunity,” McBain said. “I mean, obviously a lot of exNHL players and guys that have already been at the level that I’ve been striving to get to, so being able to pick the brains of some of the guys in the locker room was pretty cool. It was just an all-around unique experience, and I’m glad I got to do it.” During McBain’s time at Boston College, he registered 86 points in 117 career games and served as an alternate captain during his final two sea-

sons with the school. He also got to play at Arizona State’s Oceanside Arena during his freshman season, for a short series. He mentioned the weather out here being something he could get used to. “When I had the opportunity to meet with Bill and the whole staff here, it was pretty special, and right away after meeting with Arizona, I called my agent and I said, ‘Hey, I think that’s the spot,’” McBain said. “It was a great meeting, and I couldn’t be happier to be here.” Armstrong said McBain has the innate ability to supply his teammates
with instant confidence on the ice. He said McBain always made steady improvements in his game but that he really took his game up a notch this last year. He is greatly looking forward to seeing him don a Coyotes jersey. “Every time I went to see him and check his stats at Boston College, he had gotten better and better,” Armstrong said. “I felt he put a lot of time and effort into his skating from the time he was 16, every year he’s gotten better, and this year he took a giant leap.” Armstrong won’t get to see the newly acquired center on the ice immediately, however, as McBain is recovering from a “slight” ankle injury. Getting onto the ice for the Coyotes this season is McBain’s “goal and intention.” “Hopefully I’ll get back on the ice soon and try to get some games in,” he said. “That would be great, but just being around the guys in the locker room and trying to learn from them and develop with them, long term, just to keep my game progressing and keep moving.” At the end of the day, McBain basically had his pick of the litter when it came to which team he was traded to, but he chose the Coyotes. He was impressed with the direction the organization is headed. “There’s a goal in place here, down the road, in what they want to accomplish, and I feel it’s a great opportunity and a great fit to be a part of that,” McBain said.” PT

Copperstate 1000 rally returns to Arizona BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor
The 32nd annual running of the Bell Lexus North Scottsdale Copperstate 1000 returns to Arizona on Sunday, April 3. One of North America’s premier vintage car road rallies, Copperstate 1000 celebrates the automotive cultural legacy by featuring some of the finest working examples of vintage, sports, racing, classic and grand touring automobiles manufactured before the 1974 model year. “The Men’s Arts Council created this event back in 1990 as a fundraiser for Phoenix Art Museum, and the event continues to set the benchmark for excellence,” said Joel Coen, incoming Men’s Arts Council president. “Our members, event participants and even the public are ecstatic to have this iconic event return post-pandemic.” Each year, a new route covers 1,000 miles of beautiful desert terrain, verdant river valley and alpine landscape throughout Arizona and beyond. Ap-

proximately 90 qualifying vintage automobiles participate with drivers and co-drivers from all over the United States, Canada, Mexico and Europe. The relationships that are made during these rallies often develop into lifelong friendships, and many participants return. “The collector car hobby continues to thrive into a lifestyle as more collectors are driving and enjoying their

vintage automobiles,” said Keith McLaine, Copperstate 1000 chairman. “The Copperstate 1000 is the epitome of such a lifestyle event and allows participants to enjoy four fully catered days of glorious driving with fellow enthusiasts while having only the sheer exhilaration of the open road
to contend with, as all the details have been handled by our more-than-capable staff — from luxury accommodations to fully catered meals, parking lot hospitality parties and a U-Haul-sponsored luggage truck, the MAC crew thinks of everything.” Bell Lexus North Scottsdale has supported the Copperstate 1000 as the title sponsor for more than 20 years and loans five new vehicles in case a rally car cannot finish. Copperstate 1000’s Roadrunner event runs from 7:30 to 11 a.m. at Tempe Diablo Stadium, where cars are lined up on the outside of the field like a track and are announced as they start departing at 10 a.m. “Local car owners are also more than welcome to display their automobiles in the west parking lot,” Coen said. “There’s truly nothing like it.

family, you won’t want to miss the Roadrunner.” Notable cars will participate in the Copperstate 1000 this year, including a 1952 Cunningham C2 Lemans race car. The Cunningham C2, later referred to as the C2r, was Briggs Cunningham’s first serious assault on an outright win in the Le Mans 24-hour race. Sporting aluminum bodywork in the latest style coupled with the new overhead valve Chrysler 331 c.i. Hemi engine with LaSalle 3 speed gear change, the C2 had power to burn. It had a tubular ladder frame, conventional front drums from Cadillac, riding on double wishbone independent front suspension, joined to a DeDion rear axle with trick inboard drums. Success was mixed. Of the three cars entered, only one finished in 1951. The car ran as high as second for much of the race, being clocked at 154 mph on the Mulsanne, yet it finished a disappointing 18th after being slowed by mechanical issues late in the race. Another must see is the 1953 Studebaker Commander. It was the

This Starlight Coupe underwent a frame-off conversion from a stock model in 2012 and subsequently was campaigned five times in Mexico on the La Carrera Panamericana and the Chihuahua Express. During the conversion the chassis and suspension were tuned for endurance road racing and a custom 302 race motor, Tremec five speed, Wilwood disc brakes, quick change rear gears, fuel cell, roll cage and fire suppression system were installed.

Real-life transformational encounters CHURCH-COMMUNITY CONNECTION
Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Columnist
Last week, we started a two-part series on the difference between a transaction and a transformation. Author Laurie Beth, in her book “Teach Your Team to Fish,” says the following about this subject. “Transactions are lateral exchanges between people — be it goods or services. I give you this in exchange for that. Transactions are obvious and lateral, commonplace, and easy to spot. In contrast, transformations are invisible, uplifting, transcendent experiences that involve a fundamental shift or change. Transactions are necessary but not necessarily transformational.” My definition of a transformation is a transaction that, when completed, one of the parties walks away four stories higher than when they entered the transaction. Allow me to share two real-life examples of transformational encounters. The first example is from a pastor friend of mine here in Phoenix, Mark Buckley. He recently wrote about this transformational experience which happened years ago. “I was privileged to host radio programs for 30 years and TV programs for 10 years in California and Arizona. I hosted guests that included pastors, authors, athletes, business leaders and politicians. Many of them were well known and had engaging personalities. However, as I think back on those interviews, one of them stands out more than the others. “Gary Bender was a sports broadcaster who did radio and TV play-byplay for baseball, football and basket-
ball on Fox, CBS, ABC and TNT. I had never heard of Gary when he arrived at our radio studio for our program. As we faced each other across the studio desk, Gary began to ask me questions about my background and our church. He was interested in me and our ministry. He continued to ask me questions when we were on the air. In 30 years of interviews, nobody else ever showed interest in me that way. “Gary was used to being on nationwide television. Our program was on KXEG, a Christian radio station in Phoenix. Gary didn’t need the exposure, he wasn’t promoting anything, but he treated our time together like it was genuinely important. He didn’t make an impression on me because of his insights, eloquence or stature. Our encounter was significant because he understood the impact caring could have on another person. “The best way to have other people care about you is for you to care about them. We can make a powerful impression on others when they realize we are genuinely interested in them. The secret sauce of building strong relationships is contained in the command of Jesus, ‘Love one another, as I have loved you.’ (John 15:12). As he draws us, he drew them into a relationship he initiated with his love.” Here is transformational analysis about this example. All humans have questions about their humanity. “Am I valued?” “Am I loved?” “Do I matter?” “Do you like me?” “Can you help me?” “Will you add value to my life?” “Can I trust you?” Gary Bender met a felt need in Pastor Mark, and that same need is in all of us. When I read Mark’s account of Gary Bender, it didn’t surprise me. I met Gary a few months ago at a unity meeting, and he engaged me the same way he did with Mark. So evidentially,
everybody is somebody to Gary. Trust me, valuing others will be uphill all the way, but well worth it. Next, let’s explore a perfect example of a company that promises transformation but delivers a transaction. Sound familiar? Laurie Beth Jones explains. “I sat recently with one of the vice presidents of a multimillion-dollar resort hotel. We discussed the challenges facing this entity, which had come to a foreign country and hired 5,000 people on the island before they had opened the doors. Despite spending nearly $1 billion on developing the resort, the owners were now facing multiple complaints from hostile and influential customers who had come to what was billed as a five-star resort and were experiencing one-star service instead. “I read the mission statement, which was vague and uninspiring. However, I felt there was hope because one of their core intentions was to ‘blow the customer away.’ As we continued to talk, the frustrated vice-president sighed and said, ‘We want everyone to have a five-star experience. I guess we must clearly define what that experience looks like.’ “As we finished our lunch, we ordered espresso for dessert. The waitress returned after a few moments and said, ‘I’m sorry, but there is no espresso available today. Our machine is broken.’ “Having just walked past a functioning espresso machine in the coffee bar upstairs, I smiled and asked, ‘Could you maybe get some from upstairs?’ She said, ‘I hadn’t thought of that,’ Within minutes, she returned with two perfect cups of espresso, delivered from less than 20 yards away. “The vice president sighed as she stirred her coffee. ‘See what I mean?’ she said. ‘We have a long way to go in
training our staff.’” This espresso crisis was a perfect example of the difference between training someone in dealing with transactions versus transformation. This waitress clearly felt her job was to deliver items ordered from the menu. If the items were unavailable, the transaction was still complete. The customers either got what they wanted, or they didn’t. She had still done her job. “If, however, the waitress had understood that her job was to ‘blow the customer away’ with unparalleled service, she would have taken the initiative to know all the resources at her disposal. Then she would have moved heaven and earth to deliver not merely a cup of coffee, but a transformed customer.” Aha! I would say the extra mile is a vast unpopulated wasteland, wouldn’t you? So, my transformational analysis for us about this example is we need to be intentional in valuing people. Ask yourself, “How will what I do right now add value to others?” The truth is God values me. God values you. God values people you don’t know. God values people you don’t like. So don’t be like the person who says, “There are 7 billion people on earth, and I like six of you.” PT Ed Delph is a noted author of 10 books, as well as a pastor, teacher, former business owner and speaker. He has traveled extensively, having been to more than 100 countries. He is president of NationStrategy, a nonprofit organization involved in uplifting and transforming communities worldwide.

Arizona summer tradition lives on in Prescott BY LILA BALTMAN
Peoria Times Contributing Writer
Every May, an Arizona tradition continues. Children roll sleeping bags, pack duffel bags, and make their way to Friendly Pines Camp in Prescott. Located in the cool pine forest of the Bradshaw Mountains, Friendly Pines Camp fills the summer with activities. Founded in 1941 by Bud and Isabelle Brown and accredited through the American Camp Association, Friendly Pines Camp is the longest-running family-owned summer
camp in Arizona. Designed for ages 6 to 14, this coed sleepaway camp offers more than 30 traditional camp activities, including horseback riding, swimming, ball sports, rock climbing, performing arts, fine arts, pet care, fencing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, dancing and sewing. The camp offers one-, two-, fourand six-week sessions. “We’re now seeing a fourth generation of campers,” said Megan May, the camp’s director, who is the great-granddaughter of the camp’s
founders. “Many of our former campers, who are now the parents and grandparents of current campers, tell us that they love the fact that we’re still teaching the same classic camp songs and square dances, still cooking Dutch oven biscuits over a campfire, and offering many of the same outdoor sports, activities and camp traditions that they remember doing.” Friendly Pines Camp is also a place where boys and girls are required to make their own beds every morning and are assigned individual chores to
help keep their cabins clean. Children quickly learn how to share a small, cozy cabin with one bathroom and shower with new kids from around the world. Parents should know that while many of the camp’s activities and traditions have remained the same over 81 years, all the main buildings and cabins have been remodeled and upgraded. Plus, while many of the same classic camp foods continue to be served, the kitchen staff accommoSEE TRADITION PAGE KC2

Its camp counselor pay breaks down to $17 per hour, $697 per week, and $6,274 for nine weeks of employment. That includes room and board plus three meals a day. “Not only will a job at camp keep you gainfully employed, but it will also enrich your life in a variety of ways,” May added. “Camp counselors have the opportunity to be a positive influence and role model in the lives
of children, and they get to experience a great deal of adventure, exercise and nonstop fun in the great outdoors.” PT

GET THE JOB Securing the Right Internship
Graduates have traditionally found a smoother path to their first jobs by landing an internship while still in school. In fact, one survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers said an internship can increase hiring chances by double digits. Former interns also earned higher initial salary offers. Here’s a look at internships, and how they can help as you enter the job market: HOW THE PROGRAMS WORK Long before internships improve a student’s chances for that first job and first paycheck, it sharpens their understanding of how a prospective industry actually works. They provide critical experience that will catch the eye of a hiring manager who doesn’t want to lose precious time with lengthy training programs. In the meantime, students develop important working relationships with those who are already established in their chosen field. That provides a framework for reasonable career goals, both near and long term, while also
potentially opening doors through valued candidate referrals.
university life to work, which some find very difficult.
EMBRACE THE CHALLENGES Internships typically happen in addition to regular school work, so they’ll chip away at your leisure activities on nights, weekends and during the summer. But if your goal is to leave college with the best possible job prospects, it’s worth the inconvenience. At the same time, internships should be challenging, interesting pursuits. This isn’t the time to take it easy. Your intern experience should include real-world tasks if you want to stand out from the rest of your fellow graduates in a pile of resumes. You’ll also gain confidence in your ability to make the transition from
PREPARE YOURSELF FINANCIALLY Internships can involve some sort of monetary compensation, but the vast majority don’t. They’re meant to provide needed experience and critical knowledge, not a fat paycheck. That can make it difficult for those who hope to open new career doors down the road, but still need to pay bills. You’ll have to supplement your income while working in these unpaid positions, either before the internship or in addition to your new responsibilities. Weekend jobs might bridge the gap, or shared living experiences with roommates or parents. It won’t be easy, but the
rewards — from earning needed job experience to perhaps meeting your future employer — might just be more than worth it.

ROC328401 * Must present coupon or ad at the time of initial appointment. Offers are first appointment incentives only and only good if both decision-makers are present. Cannot combine offers. Dustless tile removal does not actually mean no dust, rather a lot less dust and still a construction site and will need professional cleaning. $189 per month based on 36-month financing including basic installation and product with 1000sf or less, and room size 12x15. Rooms greater in size or using upgraded flooring will add additional monthly costs. Does not include stairs or rip up. Financing is based on approved credit. $5,500 min purchase for free air duct cleaning. Free home disinfectant service makes no claims to kill COVID-19 or prevent it.
