Peoria teacher makes music with grant money

BY LAUREN SERRATO

As a second-year teacher at Great Hearts Archway Classical Academy Glendale, Emily Hendricks received $5,000 from the Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Charities Wishes for Teachers program and used the funds to buy instruments for her classroom.

Peoria Times Staff Writer

A Peoria music teacher was awarded $5,000 through the Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Charities Wishes for Teachers program and used all the funds to add instruments to her classroom.

Emily Hendricks, a kindergarten through third grade general music teacher at Great Hearts Archway Classical Academy Glendale, was one of 200 Arizona teachers granted $2,500 through the program. Donors Choose, a nonprofit organization that allows people to donate directly to public school classroom projects, matched the award money, allowing Hendricks to add even more music into her classroom.

“I didn’t think it was real. I honestly

thought I got scammed,” Hendricks joked.

“When I realized it was real, I just felt really proud. It was amazing to be chosen. I felt really, really special to be chosen for

winning the grant. I just felt really blessed and privileged.”

Hendricks purchased Boomwhackers, which are tuned percussion tubes that teach pitch and rhythm, whether by banging them to find a beat or reading music to create pitches. Additionally, she bought all her students new ukuleles, which she said will expose her SEE

The Peoria City Council unanimously voted April 6 to approve a rezoning proposal that has been in discussion for a year and a half.

The proposal allowed 3 acres of land to be developed for a drive-thru restaurant, Kentucky Fried Chicken, at 75th Avenue and Thunderbird Road, just north of the Thunderbird Estates West.

“We spent a lot of time trying to figure out what was going to be right for the neighborhood and right for the neighbors and for the city as well,” said Dan Biswas,

representative for the developer and applicant.

The proposal was first heard Oct. 15, 2020, by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Multiple speakers spoke in opposition, citing noise, traffic concerns and odor. The commission voted 6-1 to deny the ordinance.

“The major thing we tried to overcome was the 6-1 vote against,” Biswas said.

“Basically, we didn’t meet the intent of what the zoning issue was when we went to the planning commission on the first goaround.”

On Feb. 16, 2021, a new, reworked plan was presented to the Peoria City Council.

Several large changes were made, including a change from 24-hour operation to 16-hour operation and the addition of an 8-foot sound barrier wall and fins to mask the sound from the speaker box. The council remanded the proposal back to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

“I’ve been on council. This is my second term,” said Michael Finn, councilmember, Palo Verde District.

“I’ve seen the council go against planning and zoning one time, and this is the only time I recall us remanding something back to the Planning and Zoning Commission.”

Peoria receives grant for recycling pilot program

To reduce the levels of contamination and increase awareness of recycling, the city of Peoria is launching the Blue Lid Pilot Program at 2,600 homes in Peoria.

Made possible by a grant from the Recycling Partnership, this pilot program will replace the lids of the city’s dark brown recycling bins with blue lids.

The new blue lids will be marked with a list of acceptable and unacceptable recyclable items and affixed to the top of the dark brown city recycling bins.

Before the pilot program begins on May 3, a consultant will audit recycled material from those 2,600 homes to measure the levels of contami-

nation. Contamination occurs when plastic bags, yard clippings, food or nonrecyclable items are mixed in with recyclable materials in the dark brown recycle container.

Once all the lids at those homes have been swapped out, recycling inspectors will periodically conduct inspections in selected areas to ensure that the correct recyclables are being placed in the can.

If contamination is found in the recycling container, the inspector will “tag” the container and inform the resident which nonrecyclable items were found in the container.

The city will collect information for six weeks and complete the Blue Lid Pilot Program on June 29. For more information about this pilot program or the city’s recycling efforts, visit peoriaaz.gov/recycling or contact recycle@peoriaaz.gov.

West Valley nonprofits can apply for APS grants

The applicant further revised the proposal on March 4, where they offered to have only 11 hours of operation on weekdays. Even with five speakers in opposition to the plan, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval to the Peoria City Council.

“At that meeting, the applicant did indicate that the tenant had changed, it was no longer a Taco Bell, and it was now a KFC,” said Chris Jacques, planning and community development director. “And the reason for that was that

the restricted hours don’t really align with their business plan.”

The council’s general consensus was that it was satisfied with the process.

“This is exactly what I feel PNZ staff and the applicant should all be doing to make this work. I’m incredibly pleased with how this has gone,” Finn said.

At the same meeting, the council unanimously approved a contract for the Peoria Main Library interior renovations. It calls for a new ADA-compliant lobby entry with an exterior check-in book drop, full renovations of

all public and staff restrooms, and new floor and carpet finishes for the whole library, to name a few.

“It just ain’t your grandma’s library anymore,” said Councilmember Vicki Hunt. “The metamorphosis of library and book lending as a place to study and read has changed dramatically with our lives and with what our patrons expect now. Kudos to the staff here at Main.”

The council approved the move to lend more than $2 million to set the proposal in motion. Construction is slated to be completed in November.

students to a diverse set of sounds.

As a music teacher, Hendricks said adding instruments and teaching devices for her classes allows for the students’ appreciation for music to grow.

“I’ve done the whole online thing and teaching the content is great, but there’s nothing like having those interactions with the students and seeing my joy for the music rub off on them,” she said. “They give me their joy and their new curiosity and just look at music in different ways, through the eyes of a kindergartener or third grader.”

As Hendricks enters her second year at the academy, she admitted she initially didn’t want to become a teacher after graduating from Grand Canyon University in 2019.

“I was fighting teaching. I didn’t want to do it, but I just really felt that God was pushing me toward teaching, and now it’s what gives me purpose.

I find a lot of joy teaching here, and I know it’s where I’m supposed to be,” Hendricks said.

Now, Hendricks said the students have easily become her favorite part of her job and that Great Hearts has been the perfect fit for her.

“It’s really a supportive community,” she said. “I don’t think I could have had a better first experience as a teacher. Anything I need, they help,

whether it’s advice or lessons or help acquiring or finding materials or even just experts in the field to talk to. There are lots of people here who are very supportive and helpful in building me as a teacher and helping me become a better teacher.”

Hendricks has been involved in music her entire life and said she loved

that she was able to make a career of it.

“I have been around music for basically as long as I can remember,” Hendricks said. “My sisters and I used to sing songs at churches, special music, I sang in college, and it was just a really important part of our family life growing up.”

Maureen Robinson, a fourth and

fifth grade music teacher at Great Hearts Archway Classical Academy, said Hendricks is a talented musician, which makes her that much better of a teacher for her students.

“She’s a great musician, a great singer. She plays a piano, and she works really hard at honing her teaching craft, so she’s always researching and reading and getting better,” Robinson said.

Robinson said she isn’t surprised Hendricks donated the money back to her classroom. All the teachers at the academy are committed to making it the best program and experience for the students, she added.

“I think all of the teachers at the school will do anything to make education more joyful, more meaningful and more useful for the students,” Robinson said.

“Emily is completely dedicate, and so are all the teachers. I haven’t seen a teacher at this school who’s not completely dedicated like that.”

Moving forward, Hendricks said she is looking forward to utilizing the new instruments and supplies the award money provided. She also wants to grow as a teacher.

“Nobody deserved the funding more than Emily, and I can’t think of a person who would use it better than Emily,” Robinson said.

Partnership paves pathway for students’ careers

BY WENDY WHITE

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

Choosing a career at 8 years old might seem like a daunting task, if not an outand-out impossibility. But a new partnership between Read Better Be Better and Helios Education Foundation aims to support students in discovering their professional paths from their elementary school years to young adulthood.

Since the organization’s inception five years ago, Read Better Be Better has facilitated after-school programming to improve the literacy and learning skills of its participating second to fourth grade students, called readers. A key component of the program is the middle school students who volunteer to work with the readers. Known as leaders, these students not only learn how to implement Read Better Be Better’s reading comprehension curriculum to assist their partner readers, but they receive valuable training in developing their leadership skills.

An expansion of that leadership development is the focus of a three-year, $450,000 grant from Helios to be used in the Peoria Unified School District (PUSD), the fourth largest district in Arizona.

The goal is to create a sustainable system that empowers students to pursue their educational and leadership potential from childhood to young adulthood.

“Our collaboration with Helios focuses on youth empowerment — building toward systemic change from within the community,” said Sophie Allen-Etchart, CEO and founder of Read Better Be Better.

“Helios Education Foundation is proud to partner with Read Better Be Better on this initiative,” said Michelle Conroy, director of Early Grade Success Initiatives at Helios.

“Read Better Be Better delivers outstanding outcomes in increasing literacy achievement among the students it works with, and we look forward to the expansion of their work through the

Peoria Unified School District.”

A professional pathway has always informally existed within Read Better Be Better’s program, with many readers becoming leaders once they reach middle school.

But Read Better Be Better and Helios are implementing intentional elements of programming with the middle schoolers as well as incorporating strategies to keep engaging them as they continue through high school. The Helios grant provides funding to build out training for students in leadership, advocacy and self-actualization that will create a more educated and engaged workforce within the district.

“It’s going to be very exciting to watch our students progress through each phase of this new path,” said Lisa Taylor, a Read Better Be Better district leader, who is developing the expanded leadership training.

The program has three distinct stages.

The first is an organized effort to encourage readers at the 10 participating

Title I schools in PUSD, and beyond, to return to the Read Better Be Better program as middle school volunteer leaders, helping younger students to improve their reading comprehension as their leaders did with them.

Read Better Be Better leaders receive continual training to develop leadership skills, understand education issues in Arizona — including the chronic teacher shortage and ongoing literacy crisis — as well as explore their interests and potential.

“I wanted to give back what I got from the program and pass along the same help that my leader showed me,” explained Christopher Ruiz, a former Whittier Elementary School student who, in 2019, was one of the first former Read Better Be Better readers to become leaders.

Arizona Rotary Clubs host first Week of Service

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Rotary clubs and their members throughout Arizona invite friends, neighbors and fellow citizens to join them as they conduct service projects to benefit the local community during the first Rotary Week of Service from April 17 to April 24.

Rotary Week of Service aims to bring communities together to address pressing needs and assist families, organizations and others as the state begins to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Rotary clubs throughout the state are planning a wide range of community projects that include hosting food drives, cleaning local parks, donating items to homeless shelters, and planting trees.

“The pandemic has wreaked havoc on our communities, and many of our friends and neighbors need help,” said Elizabeth Mahoney, district governor for Rotary District 5495.

“Rotarians do great things all year long, but we felt the time was right to combine our efforts and bring our communities together to focus on one solid week of service. Rotary is committed to making our world a better place — and there is no better place to start than in our own community.”

There are 115 Rotary clubs — and more than 3,000 Rotarians — in Arizona serving towns and cities of all sizes.

Arizona is served by two Rotary districts — 5495 and 5500. The state’s first Rotary club was started over a century ago, and several clubs in Arizona are preparing to celebrate their 100th anniversary.

Many clubs have a community service project planned during Rotary Week of Service. A complete list of community service projects can be found at azrotary.org. Visitors to the site can find information on projects in their community and sign up to volunteer or participate in the project.

A sample of some of the projects planned: • Rotary Club of Tempe South is conducting a project to clean up Tempe Town Lake.

• Peoria North Rotary Club is working with Heart for the City to restore a community garden.

• Rotary Club of Kingman Route 66 is installing a Peace Pole at Metcalfe Park.

• Tempe Rio Salado Rotary Club and Rotary Club of Scottsdale North are teaming up to plant trees at Spur Cross Park in the Cave Creek Regional Park.

• Rotary Club of Goodyear PebbleCreek is conducting a community food drive to benefit two local food banks.

• Sedona Red Rocks Rotary Club is partnering with Friends of the Sedona Library to clean up and restore an area outside the Friends’ used bookstore in Sedona.

“We know there are a lot of people

who want to help others and give back but just can’t seem to find the perfect opportunity,” Mahoney said.

“Rotarians are not only committed to service, but they’re closely connected to their communities and in the best position to identify and coordinate local projects that address urgent needs.

“We want this to be a true communitywide effort and encourage non-Rotarians to join us.”

American Furniture Warehouse is the official community corporate partner for Rotary Week of Service. American Furniture Warehouse has long been a partner with Arizona Rotary District 5495, collecting and storing donations of mobility devices for the district’s Crutches 4 Africa program.

Rotary’s top priority is the global eradication of polio. Rotary launched its polio immunization program, PolioPlus, in 1985, and in 1988 became a leading partner in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative.

coach. She joined Read Better Be Better when she was a student at Avondale Middle School. Her motivation to continue working with the program stems from her belief in the power of literacy, knowledge and education.

“My parents always told me that if you could understand what you read, you can do anything,” Echeveste said.

“It hurts to know that many children, teens and even adults could not understand texts past a certain reading level.

Reading, something I considered the most important skill to have, was not as common of a skill as I thought.

“I was a leader from seventh to eighth grade and became a student ambassador my freshman year of high school.

Read Better Be Better is an organization that will always be in my heart and one that I would do anything for.”

Finally, national research shows that the education field is one of the most highly localized occupations. In fact, a study by researchers in Washington state found that more than 50% of first teaching jobs are within 25 miles of where the teachers grew up.

The partners’ long-term vision is that, because of students’ past experiences with Read Better Be Better, their recognition of the importance of education, their understanding of their own potential and abilities as leaders in their communities, and the relevant networks that they have developed within the PUSD during the prior 14 years, program coaches will further commit to their community by pursuing the field of education and seeking employment in the Peoria district once they graduate.

“Literacy is a critical academic skill, and Read Better Be Better’s innovative approach to helping increase literacy skills is helping students throughout our community,” said Vince Yanez, senior vice president of Arizona Community Engagement at Helios Education Foundation.

“The partnership between Read Better Be Better and the Peoria (Unified) School District will help reach even more students and set them on the path toward greater academic achievement.”

The Helios grant began in 2020 but,

because of the COVID-19 pandemic that closed schools throughout the state, Read Better Be Better programming was held in homes with older family members serving as leaders for their younger readers. Program coaches checked in with caregivers from these families once a week.

“We were able to provide a connection for families during the pandemic that was really strong, as well as provide resources to a brand-new district that we have never held programming in before,” said Alex Peck, district leader for PUSD. “We had many caregivers from the fall ask to repeat the program, and they expressed that their children greatly benefited from RBBB.” Dr. Kendra Bell, PUSD chief of academic services, said, “This year there were more than 500 Literacy Kits distributed by Read Better Be Better, which have been very beneficial to students.

Peoria Unified is looking forward to the next school year, when we will expand the program to 10 schools across the district and offer an after-school option for the program.”

responsibility and accountability result in better school attendance and higher academic achievement, not to mention the positive impact they can make in another person’s life.

Second, Read Better Be Better will maintain contact with the former leaders during high school and recruit them to come back to their school districts as college-age Read Better Be Better program coaches to facilitate the after-school sessions for readers and leaders.

Program coaches are paid a competitive hourly wage and provided regular professional development training.

The program coach positions supply real-world education and classroom management experiences that are relevant for future employment opportunities. And, because the program coaches were once themselves readers and leaders in the district, they bring a deeper understanding of the program and a commitment to their students and the community.

Pop-Up Peoria opens to the public at Park West

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Pop-Up Peoria opened to the public at Park West on April 9, providing an innovative space for community members to connect.

Artists, creatives, entrepreneurs and experts in a variety of activities, programs and interactive experiences can come together to collaborate, learn or shop curated local gifts and products.

“By partnering with the Park West team, local business owners, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem at ASU, we are curating stronger community partnerships, while offering interesting programming in a unique and fun environment for the benefit of Peoria residents,” said Mayor Cathy Carlat.

“Park West offers a fantastic dining, entertainment and retail experience, and we are thrilled to join forces to bring Pop-Up Peoria to our community.”

As the name implies, Pop-Up Peoria is not a permanent store but rather a temporary concept that connects the city of Peoria with the business and residential communities to bring new retail and interactive experiences to the area.

The city of Peoria developed this concept in partnership with Park West, CIRE Equity, Peoria Forward and the Grand Project Shoppe to give local residents, entrepreneurs and artisans a place to connect, learn and create.

The front of the store will have retail

space for a collection of featured Peoria artisans, courtesy of the Grand Project Shoppe, while the back portion will be programmed community space.

In that community space, ASU’s J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute will host entrepreneurship classes, business pitching practices and coworking opportunities. The city of Peoria will also offer sustainability classes, library storytimes, code compliance workshops, neighborhood watch meetings and more. As visitors move through the Pop-Up Peoria space, they can shop local, curated products; explore entrepreneurship opportunities; and enhance their skills in a variety of areas.

“Peoria has a growing ecosystem of entrepreneurs, innovators and artisans,” said Kristin Slice, senior program manager for Peoria Forward and ASU’s J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship and Innovation Institute.

“Pop-Up Peoria will be a fun, accessible way for the entire family to explore entrepreneurship and find ways to support their neighbor’s entrepreneurial journey.”

Pop-Up Peoria is located at 9744 W. Northern Avenue, Suite 1750, in the Park West shopping center. The city of Peoria is hosting a grand opening event at 10 a.m. Saturday, May 1, with the Peoria Chamber of Commerce.

In 2020, 16 West Valley nonprofits received $155,000. Funds went toward a variety of causes, including a literacy program for youth, commu-

U.S. Rep. Debbie Lesko honored Phoenix Rescue Mission with a Congressional Recognition award for its impact in the District 8 community.

The congressional award for Phoenix Rescue Mission’s Criminal Justice Diversion program was presented by the office of Lesko on April 6, recognizing the nonprofit for partnering with the Peoria Police Department to implement its program. The Criminal Justice Diversion program is designed to break the cycle of endless litigation by offering a path to recovery and self-sufficiency to repeat offenders,

in lieu of jail time. The Phoenix Rescue Mission stepped in to aid clients in a cycle of incarceration and litigation by providing continuous case management and advocacy in the courtroom. The program works to get clients the help they need by connecting them with mental health resources, housing or employment.

Those who need addiction recovery assistance can be placed in Phoenix Rescue Mission’s recovery programs, providing a second chance at life with a fresh start, free from addiction. Since becoming a full program in 2019, Phoenix Rescue Mission has engaged with 188 repeat offenders and has placed 18 on a path to recovery.

Peoria residents can join the tree challenge

BY SYDNEY FITE

Peoria Times Staff Writer

Peoria Sustainability Coordinator Victoria Caster said she heard once that the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago.

She said it’s very true now.

The city of Peoria staff is constantly planting trees, maintaining parks, and keeping track of urban wildlife and plant life within the city. They do everything they can to maintain a livable environment within the Valley of the Sun, but in April residents have the opportunity to contribute to their efforts.

To celebrate Earth Day and Arbor Day, the city of Peoria is hosting a handful of events to educate residents on landscaping.

Residents can pick up a tree and plant it at their homes. They are invited to send before and after pictures to Peoria staff via a Dropbox on the city’s website, peoriaaz.gov. In return, they will be entered into a raffle, with prizes drawn at the end of April.

“This is a great way for people to

take the initiative,” Caster said.

She said trees should be planted in areas where they have the space to grow to their full potential. Make sure to keep them away from power lines, homes and reflective surfaces where they cannot thrive.

West Coast Arborist and LG Nursery donated 40 trees to the program.

These native trees were donated and targeted to be planted in areas that lack native and successful trees.

The city of Peoria keeps track of bees and pollinators within the area and believes that this initiative will benefit those populations as well. Pollinators and wildlife will always go to native trees first.

“Native is always best,” Caster said.

Caster said this challenge will continue to benefit the community for the next 10 years, In order to participate in this challenge, Peoria residents need to plant their trees by April 30.

Trees go through stages of stress by being planted and perform best when they are in the ground before it gets too hot.

AROUND THE BLUHMIN’ TOWN

Whole lotta lovin’ going on

BY JUDY BLUHM Peoria Times Columnist

Love is in the air!

And so are the doves, finches and hummingbirds. Spring brings the promise of hope, new life, fresh beginnings, green leaves and babies.

Lots of them. Baby finches — in all their bright yellow glory — hang on the finch seed socks that I have hanging and chirp constantly, trying to figure out what they are supposed to do.

Mama finches take some of the Niger seed in their beaks and then regurgitates it into the baby’s mouths, as if to say, “Start eating. Chew and stop crying!” New starlings fly like jumbo jets without brakes, landing haphazard-

ly on the edge of our hanging feeders, wondering what to do next. Baby quail the size of thimbles fan out and chase after their mothers, just trying to keep up.

Eat! That is the mantra of spring. It is when birds, bunnies and lizards frolic in the grass, nibble on all things that are edible, and decide it is time to expand their families. There is a whole lot of lovin’ going on in the wild right now, and it has resulted in babies everywhere.

In the barn rafters, in tiny nests in the trees, from holes in the ground and under the eaves of the house, something tells me that it is baby-making season.

Spring is more than that. It is hope in a sunrise, faith in a seedling that has taken root, wonder in a small bird with beating wings that flies 5,000 miles just to grace your feeder. It is light that

streams in our windows at 6 o’clock in the morning, the breeze that gently caresses us, the flowers that push through dormant earth to greet us. Spring is here. It comes after the darkness of a long COVID-19 year of restrictions, quarantines and loss.

Spring spoils us. It reminds us of good things to come. Ice cream and family gatherings. Flowers and barbecues. Joy in unexpected places. Love that conquers all. My little pony, Buttercup, looks like a wooly mammoth in the winter months, all white and furry, a rotund beast. And now spring is here.

She has shed her thick wool and is a sleek palomino with smooth golden skin and a white shiny mane. That’s my dream! To shed my “fluffy” look from winter and emerge as a sleek, smooth pony. Hmmm … I can hope.

My friend in Phoenix says that since

her husband died last year, she is “terminally lonely.” Yet, I notice that since she got a little dog from the rescue, she has started opening up her blinds again and goes for walks every day. And so it goes. Somehow, life finds a way.

The sunflower that arises in between cement blocks in a wall, as if to say, “I am here and I can’t be stopped.”

Or the baby birds that sing and chirp and shout out, “I am hungry and life is good.” Sometimes it takes a spring day to help us realize that life is worth living. And like the sleek pony that sheds all burdens of winter, so can we. Spring is life bursting forth around us. Enjoy the splendor.

Photo albums chronicle 60-year love affair

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist

Between courtship and marriage, their love affair lasted 60 years. It spanned perfect health and terminal sickness, for richer and poorer, full measures of joy and sadness.

Inseparable, they accompanied one another from a park bench in Queens, where love at first sight took hold to a little white house in Florida where they lived for 40 years until death cleaved them apart.

Come the end, everything my parents owned fit into a few cardboard boxes stacked in what we called the family room.

Mostly, they left behind photo albums, thick parchment pages between leather covers. My mother filled these books with years of photographs, notes and keepsakes.

An engraved silver coin from an early date to Playland in Times Square.

Whorls of my father’s hair wrapped in plastic. New York Mets ticket stubs.

11

The folio from my parents’ honeymoon night at a beachfront motel on Long Island.

The place was called the Ronjo. In 1964, it set back my father, who was 18, a cool 59 bucks.

The albums brim with photographs going back to my parents’ childhoods and forward through mine and my brother’s.

There’s the happy couple at Jones Beach, the ocean breeze lifting my father’s pompadour. There’s their first new car, a 1965 red Volkswagen Beetle, list price $1,650. There’s me as a baby, then my brother Matthew appears — the boys swaddled and held, playing with Evel Knievel toy motorcycles, riding bikes, dragging sleds up Suicide Hill.

My favorite picture tells a simple story. I am 6; Matthew is 3. We are grinning and laughing with every tooth we can bare, each balanced on one of dad’s knees, with a birthday cake on the table before us. I cannot imagine being happier.

The more I flipped through the albums, the more I felt loss in the depths

of my heart. My father fought a grueling fight against Parkinson’s and dementia for three years, lasting until March 24, when he left to rejoin my mother, the one love of his life.

My sadness was not so much about losing him but about the things we have lost as we jet forward through the 21st century.

Sitting in my parents’ kitchen for the first time minus my parents, I missed the elements that built their life together.

I missed photographs you can hold, pictures carefully pasted into books that may yellow and crumble with time but never detach from the memories they capture.

Today, we have a trillion selfies, digital images of every last hamburger, every new outfit, every duck-lipped smile. It’s Instacrap, a style and volume of photography that cheapens memory.

Once, every photo mattered. You chose subjects carefully because you only had 12 or 24 or 36 shots. It took a week for Fotomat or the drugstore to deliver an envelope of celluloid treasures. Those were images worth keep-

ing for life — because they held life in perpetuity.

Lifelong love also has fallen out of style. Now it’s unicorn rare to see passion that begins with a smile shared on a junior high school playground and spans six decades.

I am talking about love that fills albums: with Father’s Day and Mother’s Day cards drawn by hand, with wedding photographs of the bride and groom looking more like prom royalty than adults a few months from parenthood.

I have had two marriages. We vowed till death do us part, but the relationships ended well short of the graveyard, in legal documents no one saves in an album full of treasures.

My parents, Lynn and Harvey Leibowitz, never owned much — just a few boxes of stuff and all those photo albums — but they had each other. And that was everything.

Provider adoption and investment in telehealth grows

public safety, communities are getting smarter by the day.

In Arizona, the Cox Connected Environments Collaboratory at ASU serves as an incubation center that is engaging ASU students and faculty to design the next wave of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions that will focus on projects pertaining to smart and connected products that will empower citizens, students and local government teams to live and work more efficiently and enhance the quality of life. The ASU team is looking at urban redesign, augmented reality and the workforce of the future as well as fleet management, health and wellness, and public safety.

Smart communities are increasingly becoming a priority nationwide — and worldwide. The pandemic has accelerated smart city tech, and citizens are

more open to smart community tech than ever — which is unlocking doors to rapid growth that will continue.

Going smart enables municipalities to make more effective data-driven decisions, decreases inefficiencies, and streamlines and automates processes.

It also enhances citizen and government engagement, improves infrastructure and provides new economic development opportunities.

And the trend toward just about everything smart is taking place inside the home as well. According to statista, North America in 2023 is expected to have 40% of the worldwide market of consumer spending on smart home systems like smart assistants, smart speakers, and smart door locks and light switches.

Cox shares tech trends that will shape our lives

BY SUSAN ANABLE

Vice President of Public Affairs Cox Southwest Region

This time last year, most of us had heard rumblings about COVID-19 — but at the time, it seemed so far away.

Little did we know it would become a global pandemic that would bring about broad-sweeping change in so many facets of life — technology included.

The pandemic has been a technology accelerator for businesses, municipalities, schools, health care and homes. As such, those of us at Cox Communications, who provide internet, telephone, security and video services to thousands of Arizona small and regional businesses and more than 3 million connectivity products within homes across the state, have seen a few interesting technology trends that we believe will continue throughout 2021.

Finding ways to connect virtually with your doctor is getting easier, too.

According to a Cox Business survey, only 28% of respondents said that their health care service provider offered telehealth before COVID-19.

Providers, too, gave telehealth a thumbs up, with 57% viewing it more favorably than before the pandemic and 64% feeling more comfortable using the technology.

Further, the same report shows up to $250 billion of current U.S. health care spend could go virtual — up from $3 billion pre-COVID-19.

Smart communities keep getting smarter

School, work will continue to stay home

Remote work and school are not going away anytime soon, making broadband connectivity essential. Many employees who were forced to work from home this past year may continue to do so permanently. According to Forbes, the percentage of workers permanently working from home is expected to double this year, and Big Tech is leading the way, with companies like Twitter and Facebook having recognized the benefits of employees working from home indefinitely, even as offices reopen.

Although working from home might have had a rocky start, employees have mastered using real-time chat and video conferencing to stay connected. According to SHRM, 94% of 800 employers surveyed by Mercer, an HR and workplace benefits firm, said that productivity was the same or higher than it was before the pandemic.

Our own workforce at Cox will likely see a work/work-from-home hybrid model in the future. Interactive video conferencing and chat have enabled

teams to maintain cohesion and stay connected while working out of the office.

In fact, Cox Business has produced a work-at-home solution for Arizona enterprises, providing remote staff with enterprise-grade, separate internet connections from the office directly to their homes, including Wi-Fi; endpoint security; and a malicious domain blocker to help ensure staff members have the same highly reliable, quick connectivity they would have when working in the office.

On the education front, Rand Corp. researchers found approximately 20% of public school district superintendents and charter school leaders said they plan to continue online schooling as an option once the pandemic subsides — or are considering the online option for families and students who want the choice.

Whether teaching or learning from home or in the classroom, data-driven insights improve the classroom experience. Apps empower teachers to digitally administer homework, quizzes

and tests and have one-on-one face time with students and parents.

And through artificial intelligence and machine learning, automated technology allows teachers to monitor and evaluate the progress students are making and better understand their strengths and weaknesses. For students, apps enable learning through gamification, which creates a fun and positive learning environment and can make the most reticent student excited about his or her studies.

More content means more bandwidth

Due to stay-in-place restrictions, the entire world has been streaming more than ever. Internet service providers, such as Cox, have experienced the equivalent of two years of traffic growth in the first few months of the pandemic, and it has remained constant at those new levels.

And high-intensity applications, aka “bandwidth hogs,” like video streaming platforms that make online work and school possible, are essential yet

difficult to attain without the appropriate bandwidth. Therefore, ISPs have answered this increasingly streaming boom by offering affordable internet packages that take care of all streaming needs — voice, video or otherwise.

Speaking of voice, whether folks are binge-watching “Jeopardy!” on Netflix or jamming to music from Spotify using their Alexa, the use of streaming services and voice assistants is on the rise. With so many great TV shows to watch, it’s challenging to remember what’s on Peacock, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon and so on. But voice remotes allow users to pull up a series, app or movie with just a few words, such as “Find the Discovery channel” or “What should I watch?”

There’s no doubt that the pandemic will subside at some point, but the technology trends that have come to the forefront will continue in 2021 — and long after as well. Because Cox is committed to making digital life easier, we’ll continue investing in ways to better connect people and bring these critical technologies to life.

Anthem-opoly board game is still going strong

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor

If there’s one thing the COVID-19 pandemic bolstered, it’s the board game business.

Michael Schulte, marketing manager for Cincinnati-based Late for the Sky, witnessed that increase, especially with the game Anthem-opoly. Based on Monopoly, the game touches on Cave Creek Regional Park, The Tennessee Grill, Peoria Regional Preserve, Agua Fria River, Frontier Town, Cave Creek Museum and the Outlets at Anthem.

“We try and incorporate points of interest, parks and some restaurants,” Schulte said. “There’s a nice mix of everything. We like to include parks and reserves because we know they’ll always be there.”

Schulte said Late for the Sky can create games like this because Monopoly became public domain in the early 1980s. New cities are released weekly.

Anthem-opoly was introduced in 2019, but there’s been a resurgence of talk about it on social media.

“Suddenly, the game is popular again,”

he said. “We launched it in 2019, and we’ve been shipAnthem-opoly ping that game pretty regu1-800-422-3434 larly since then. It’s been a really successful game for us lateforthesky.com and for Walmart.”

Anthem was one of the areas Late for the Sky pursued when the program began, Schulte said.

The specialty games are created with area Walmart managers, and a local sales representative will suggest locations.

“We’ll do our research as well,” he said. “It’s a group effort.”

Late for the Sky started making specialty board games in the early ’80s with a collegiate theme. From there, it branched to larger cities. The company’s staff didn’t think the business would be as successful as it is.

“As we’ve learned, definitely the smaller cities are just as popular or more than the biggest city games,” Schulte said. “It comes down to civic pride.

They’re proud of where they come from.

It’s a game we all know and have played in our lifetime. It’s a game that’s about Anthem-opoly covers Anthem, Cave Creek, Peoria and Carefree and is available your own town, not Atlantic City or any other one.” at Walmart. (Photo courtesy of Late for the Sky)

Lionel train collection chugs into EJ’s Auction & Appraisal

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor

Wyatt Orr grew up collecting model trains with his dad more than 40 years ago, and he continued the tradition with his young son, Weston.

Now that his 8-year-old son has outgrown the hobby, Orr has consigned a majority of his collection to EJ’s Auction & Appraisal in Glendale. It is auctioning thousands of Lionel trains at noon Fridays, April 16, April 23 and April 30. Auctions will be held online at

ejsauction.com, beginning at noon.

For more information, call 623-8782003.

The majority of the trains are considered new old stock, which means they are brand-new, never-been-out-of-thebox trains that are no longer in production. Some have been test run only, some used, and some are even still sealed in original factory boxes. The collection includes 13 pallets worth of diesels, steam engines, passenger cars, rolling stock, SEE AUCTION PAGE 15

bridges, buildings, full sets and other Lionel accessories. There are also some other brands included.

“It’s definitely the largest train collection we’ve seen here,” said Erik Hoyer, auctioneer and owner of EJ’s Auction & Appraisal.

“There’s a lot of interest. Most of what this collection encompasses are late-1980s into the 1990s trains. So, there aren’t a lot of older trains, just more contemporary types. That still doesn’t take away the value of them.

“Trains are a beloved hobby for many, including younger generations who may inherit collections from their parents and grandparents,” Hoyer said.

“A collection of this size going up for auction is rare.”

Orr is a frequent EJ’s client. Hoyer said the consignment specialist he spoke with was aware of Orr’s collection. When he approached EJ’s to represent the collection, Hoyer said it fit right in with what his company does.

After about 10 years of serious collecting and a divorce, Orr and Weston felt overwhelmed by the size of their collection. Together, they categorized, constructed and packed up the majority of the train collection for auction.

“It took us 85 hours to catalog them all,” Orr said. “I would say we consigned about 3,000. There were 13 4-by-4 pallets that were about 5 to 6 feet tall.”

The Dewey pair, who now prefer to go camping, kept a manageable collection to construct their own layout. The hobby proved to be important during the pandemic, as it’s safe.

“We didn’t have to worry about the world or traveling,” Orr said.

“Besides that, Lionel is the best brand of trains there is. It’s most expensive, though. It’s just a really good brand.

You can do different things with the layouts. They have great accessories.

City recognizes Beach House Volleyball

BY JAKARIA ROSS

Peoria Times Staff Writer

Navigating a startup business through the pandemic is tough, and Brian Lambeth, owner of Beach House Volleyball, knows this.

However, the city of Peoria recently recognized Beach House Volleyball as being Mayor Cathy Carlat’s Business of the Month.

Founded in 2018, Beach House Volleyball is an indoor beach volleyball facility. It is the first in Arizona to offer a California beach volleyball experience in an air-conditioned facility.

Lambeth celebrated at a dinner with his wife and children. He was thrilled that Carlat would recognize a 2-yearold startup.

“I appreciate that Peoria would recognize a small business,” Lambeth said.

It’s been a rough year for Beach House Volleyball, as the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to shut down during its peak season, due to social distancing guidelines.

“It was very challenging,” Lambeth said. “We had to close down just like everyone else, and luckily we were able to keep the numbers low enough to open again and keep everybody safe.”

Most volleyball businesses open in cold-weather markets. Beach House Volleyball stands out from its competition just by being in Arizona.

“I was really kind of the crazy one by opening this in a hot-weather market, and still, to this day, I compete with people playing at the park for free, even when it’s 110 out in the middle of July,” Lambeth said.

According to the Washington Post, volleyball is one of the most popular recreational activities, with more than 800 million persons playing globally,

making it the world’s most popular participant sport.

“I’ve been playing beach volleyball for 30 years now,” Lambeth said. “It started back when I was in college.

I just have a passion for the sport.

Beach volleyball is one of the greatest things ever invented or played.”

Beach House offers leagues, tournaments, summer camps, private coaching/training and youth programs

taught by award-winning coaches.

Lambeth said the facility engages in sports psychology. The mental coping skills and other valuable soft skills are taught through persevering, according to Lambeth.

“I would say the psychology is more of the mental side of it and just learning how to deal or cope with the difficulty,” Lambeth said. “You learn how not to go darkness. You have to

be able to recover from it.”

Lambeth said he felt that parenting inspired him to teach these skills.

“A lot of kids don’t want their parents coaching them, but (my daughter) was receptive to it, and that led me into coaching,” he said. “I wanted to try it, and I determined that I think I’m fairly successful at it. I’m able SEE VOLLEYBALL PAGE 17

to communicate with the kids fairly well.”

He said he senses he has found success, which can be measured by connections. His company is still in the growth and development phase.

“It’s about developing relationships with the kids and the families — just watching them grow as people and as players so they’re able to develop those skills that help grow their confidence,” he said. “You just see their full personalities develop as a result.

That’s super gratifying.”

Lambeth thanked his coaches for their participation and thorough efforts.

“I’ve been fortunate enough to find people who have their own followings as coaches and a lot of time people and terrific coaches,” Lambeth said.

Despite being just a 2-year-old startup, Beach House Volleyball was Mayor Cathy Carlat’s Business of the Month for March.

Riverton helps local pianists tickle the ivories

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor

James Harding of Riverton Piano Co. loves what he does for a living.

He can play extravagant pianos all day and occasionally rub shoulders with the likes of Jim Brickman.

“It’s one of those jobs that if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life,” said Harding, the company’s director of sales and marketing.

Harding runs the newer store in Peoria, as well as the location in Scottsdale. The Peoria piano store features the legendary Bosendorfer Artisan Pianos, Yamaha Premium Pianos, used Steinway pianos, Yamaha Pianos, Baldwin Pianos, Schumann Pianos, Roland Digital Pianos, Disklaviers, Hybrids, Silent Pianos Clavinovas, piano labs, print music, piano lessons and a 95-seat recital hall.

“The Bosendorfer is a handcrafted Viennese piano,” he said. “They have some of the most expensive pianos in the world. In our Scottsdale store, we have a piano that’s about $320,000 in the back room. I have one that’s about $280,000.

“We have some high-end pianos for the ultra-high-end buyer. But then, of

course, Yamaha offers a variety of things, from handcrafted pianos all the way down to basic entry-level home pianos.”

Harding said new pianos start at about $3,000 and digital pianos at $800. The company also offers rental programs from $30 a month.

“Even if you don’t have the massive budget for a handcrafted European piano, you can still come in and find something great for your home,” he said.

ful moments.”

During the pandemic, Rowe also released “The Heavy.” She started writing it in 2019, but she said she “never could have imagined where we would be in the world.”

“We wrote the song because we started talking about how, as musicians, as artists, as songwriters, we have several opportunities to team up with nonprofits or charities. We can use our ‘platform,’ if you will, for something that goes beyond the show.

“We were talking about how we get to know the people behind these organizations, whether it’s the people heading the organization or the people on the receiving end.”

Rowe partners with Scott Foundation, which serves Arizona foster youth. Her work with the nonprofit meant even more to her after she met the kids who were involved.

“They have these stories, the situations that they come out of,” she said.

“When I first meet them, they don’t want to make eye contact and their

shoulders are rolled over. They’re feeling this heaviness. As they progress in the program and understand their value, worth and purpose, I’ll see them the next time and they’re laughing and they have a sparkle in their eye.

“We exchange stories. These are real stories and real people. It progressed into how everyone has their own ‘heavy’ and what we can do in that moment to help one another.”

The two songs are different, she said. “Long Hugs” is upbeat with a Southwest vibe, while “The Heavy” is, well, heavier. “‘Long Hugs’ is not as deep-hitting as ‘The Heavy’ was, but it definitely is sentimental,” she said. “I’m all about making a moment out of everything.”

“We’re close enough to folks in Glendale and Peoria. This is a nice, central location for most of the clients. So far, we’ve seen clients from all those communities.”

Harding has been playing piano since he was 4, following in the footsteps of his cousin and friend. He attended a local music school and then studied voice and piano in college.

Now he’s at Riverton.

He finds it joyful to have concerts

in Riverton’s recital hall. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, performances were held there regularly. In the last year, though, they invited piano teachers and their students — albeit one by one — to record a performance for friends and family. Strict protocols were adhered to.

“We would add applause, put a little intro in there, and put their names in the credits at the end. They felt like it was an actual performance,” Harding said.

Consider this statement by Pastor Bill Johnson: When we live out of discipline, we are admired. When we live out of passion, we are contagious. Passion and discipline are good, but today let’s explore passion. Passion creates commitment, and commitment is the ignitor of momentum. Momentum turns thoughts into things.

In this article, I’m not talking about lustful passion. I’m addressing the kind of passion that can be used constructively for our personal good as well as the good of our community. Let’s get past the checked-out “whatever” attitude we often hear about these days. With contagious, constructive, God-empowered passion, we can wake up, shake up, put on our makeup, and challenge the status quo of doom and

up. Paul was a Christian “virus” that moved people from anabolic to catabolic. You couldn’t be the same after an encounter with Paul. He was a pestilent fellow who brought God into every equation. His passion motivated ordinary people to be and do the extraordinary for the benefit of all the people.

Paul was a God-given “pest” to those who had a different agenda than God. He didn’t tear things down unless it was to build back up. He understood passion is the fuel that puts the Word of God into action. He realized that everything stays potential unless someone channels passion.

He was convinced that passion activates the promises of God for the benefit of all. He recognized that half-hearted people produce half-hearted results, causing everyone in a community to underachieve.

You see, we are like white blood cells in a body. White blood cells fight

life is routine — dull and grubby, but routine is the momentum that keeps a man going. If you wait for inspiration, you’ll be standing on the corner after the parade is a mile down the street.”

Inspiration comes from the outside of us. Passion comes from the inside of us. Passion is much more powerful and long lasting. Inspiration lasts for a short time. Inspiration gives you a sugar high but then a sugar low. Passion is consistent and is not deterred by circumstances or mishaps.

What is passion? Passion means “to suffer.” It’s no pain, no gain. It costs something. Are you willing to commit for the long term like Jesus did on the cross?

There was a man in the Bible who was passionate about God and people at the same time. Look at this verse: “For we have found this man a real pest and a fellow who stirs up” (Acts 24:5).

The fellow in this Bible verse was the Apostle Paul. Paul had a constructive God-given passion that made folks either better or bitter. He stirred things

gloom.

Years ago, I was meeting with Pastor Bob Hake of Orangewood Church in Phoenix and noticed a poster in the church’s boardroom. It was called “Stir Me.” The poster quote said: “Stir me … surprise me … inspire me … include me … stretch me … convict me … save me … irritate me … challenge me … comfort me … ignite me … thrill me … move me … anger me … educate me … lift me … center me … scare me … involve me! Just don’t leave me the way you found me when I walked through those doors.”

I don’t see any “whatever” in those words. The writer begs someone to challenge them, not control them.

Do you want to know a secret? When we live out of passion, we are contagious. Passion provides motivation for discipline or getting past those “whatever” times in our lives. Passion spirals us upward. Passion creates action, and then action momentum, which in turn creates unanticipated opportunities.

Ben Nicholas wisely said, “Most of

infection in the physical body. What if the white blood cells in an infected body said “whatever”? Paul could not stand by and allow an infection to go unchecked. That is what you and I were designed by God to do — be the change for the better.

Here’s more wisdom from others about a passion that ignites. “The more I look at things, the more I believe the willingness to start is the littlest thing in life that makes the biggest difference in life.” “Step onto the field. Stand up in the meeting. Raise your hand in class.

Get over the bar. Walk up to the podium. Ask the first question. Take a risk, get started, contribute something.”

How do you do that? Find something to get passionate about that is true, pure and good, not immoral or corrupt.

Whether or not you end up being No. 1 in the world is irrelevant. Most of the time, the value you provide isn’t nearly as important as pushing yourself to provide it. People who consistently get started are the only ones who can end up finishing anything.

Are we Peter, who fell asleep in the

garden, or Jesus, who went on from the garden to change the world? Many times, that depends on passion! Don’t allow COVID-19 and inaction deactivate your passion. Passion gets you going and keeps you going until you’ve finished what you were pursuing.

God’s passion is in you; you just need to let it go and then let it grow.

In short, passion starts at the finish and finishes what it starts.

Midwestern University gives funds to students dollar amount on student grants as determined in the CARES Act. This program has been designated the Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds II (HEERF II). The relief funds are to be disbursed to students in the form of cash grants for any component of their cost of attendance and emergency costs that arise due to coronavirus.

The remaining funds may be used by the institution to offset additional costs related to COVID-19. However, Midwestern University’s administration has elected instead to apportion the entirety of its HEERF II funding, an estimated $2.8 million, to university students as need-based grants.

Midwestern has already awarded

BY TONY JOHNS

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

Midwestern University will again earmark 100% of an estimated $2.8 million in Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds (HEERF) apportioned to the university by recently passed federal legislation to support the nearly 7,000 health care professions students enrolled at its campuses in Downers Grove, Illinois, and Glendale.

Under the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations (CRRSA) Act, passed by Congress and signed into law on Dec. 27, qualifying educational institutions are required to spend at least the same

and disbursed approximately $2 million in HEERF II funds to students.

This is in addition to awarding all of the $2.25 million in prior HEERF funding to students in 2020. To date, Midwestern has provided over $4 million in HEERF grants directly to students.

“The entire Midwestern University community recognizes the significant financial challenges faced by our health care students during this unique period of our history,” remarked Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Midwestern University.

“Because we have positioned ourselves through careful planning to safeguard our university’s infrastruc-

ture during challenging times such as these, we have the wonderful opportunity to commit the entirety of our CARES Act funds to our students. We are proud to support our students, as they will be part of tomorrow’s health care team, working on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic and other health care challenges.”

The CRRSA Act is a major COVID-19-related law included as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021. The law authorizes $82 billion to education through the Education Stabilization Fund, with $23 billion specifically for higher education. Midwestern University is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Tips for Having a Great Garage Sale!

1. Sort through your closets, cupboards and garage for items to sell.

2. Partner up with a neighbor or friend. This is helpful to give each other breaks during the day.

3. Advertise your sale — ask us for our Yard Sale Special!

4. In your ad include the type of sale, (e.g., Yard Sale, Multi-Family Sale), date, time, address/ cross streets, and be specific on prices for high dollar items.

Popular items you can include: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, yard equipment, designer/children’s clothes and shoes, craft items, antiques, unique items and collectibles/ collections.

5. Place signs on major cross streets and on the corners leading into your neighborhood. Just a fat, solid black arrow on colorful poster board works fine.
