Peoria firefighters recovering after explosion BY ANDREA ESTRADA Peoria Times Staff Writer
An investigation is underway after an explosion at an Arizona Public Service (APS) substation in Surprise injured eight West Valley firefighters on April 19, Peoria Fire-Medical spokesman Michael Selmer said at an April 22 press conference. While four Peoria firefighters – Capt. Hunter Clare, Engineer Justin Lopez and firefighters Matt Cottini and Jake Ciulla – were involved in the incident, as of print only three remain hospitalized, under stable conditions, as the fourth recovers from home after being discharged. The other four, from the Surprise Fire-Medical Department, received nonlife-threatening
injuries and were also discharged. Selmer said the four Peoria firemen responded to reports of smoke the evening of April 19 because they were the closest hazardous material (HAZMAT) team to the APS facility near Grand Avenue and Deer Valley. The explosion occurred after 8 p.m. Lopez, who, as of April 19, had undergone two surgeries, “experienced the biggest portion of this explosion,” Selmer said. Lopez suffered a nose fracture, skull fracture, collapsed lung, rib fractures and right leg tibia and fibula fractures. Clare sustained bilateral ankle fractures, a possible wrist fracture, a thoracic fracture and multiple burns and lacerations, as well

as a scapula injury that will be left to heal on its own. “Both Engineer Justin Lopez and Capt. Hunter Clare were flown. So, those injuries were pretty severe,” Selmer said. On a post to the Peoria Fire-Medical Twitter on April 21, officials noted Lopez was “awake and doing as well as can be expected.” The post continued, “He was very anxious until his wife Sara came in the room.” It added that Clare’s “surgery was successful and he is in great spirits.” Cottini and Ciulla, who were both grounded to the hospital following the explosion, were released then readmitted SEE EXPLOSION PAGE 3

A number of long-awaited capital improvement projects seem to finally be on the way, as Peoria City Council recently authorized approximately $33 million in general obligation bonds. The unanimous decision by Mayor Cathy Carlat and councilmembers will help fund parks, trails, drainage, streets and public facilities. City officials expect to issue the bonds next month. “A GO bond is used by the city to finance large capital projects. It requires voter approval and is repaid from property taxes. GO bonds are direct SEE BONDS PAGE 2

obligations of the city and by state statute GO bonds have a priority lien on property taxes,” explained Sonia Andrews, chief financial officer. But property tax rates will not increase, she noted. “Debt service on these new bonds will come from our secondary property taxes. Because we have continued growth in assessed value and new construction, there will be no need to increase our property tax rate,” Andrews explained. Among the projects Andrews identified to be funded at least in part by the bonds are Paloma Community Park, a neighborhood park in The Meadows, renovations to Main Library, the widening of Happy Valley Parkway and various other projects like drainage, channel and asphalt improvements; ball field lighting; a Vistancia radio site; and signage for the 75th Avenue and Deer Valley trailhead. General obligation bonds for these capital improvement projects were previously approved by voters in 2000, 2005 and 2008 elections. The largest of these projects is the Paloma Community Park, the city’s planned northern park east of Lake
Pleasant Parkway at Dixileta Road. While bonds will cover just under $20 million, the project is estimated to cost $41.6 million, Development and Engineering Director Adina Lund told Peoria Times. The 85-acre park, Lund explained, will consist of lighted baseball fields, multipurpose fields, dog parks, pickleball courts, a splash pad, an inclusive playground and a fishing lake, among other features. “It’s taken us a very long time because it includes federal permits and permits from the flood control district,” Lund said, noting the city received final permits on April 1.

she said, the park should open toward the end of summer 2020. A planned second phase – to be designed next summer with construction beginning in late 2022 – will take community input to determine further desires, she added. Current tentative amenities are outlined on the Peoria website, where the final park is estimated at 120 acres. Also planned is a neighborhood park on a 10-acre site in The Meadows, between Deer Valley and Pinnacle Peak roads, around 95th Avenue. Less than $3.4 million of the bonds will go toward this project. As of print, the project’s full cost was not available to Peoria Times. Public input was sought at an April 18 meeting. Residents were presented with two scenarios for the park and city officials listened to their suggestions. The final step, Lund said, is to finalize a design. Construction should be underway by the end of summer 2020, she said. “Of course all of our neighborhood parks provide a restroom; it provides playgrounds for different age groups; it

provides shade, canopies and ramadas; and then this one we’re looking at a lighted multipurpose field and then what other types of amenities the neighborhood thinks would fit their community,” Lund explained. The city is also planning to widen Happy Valley Parkway from Lake Pleasant Parkway to Loop 303. Lund said the total project will cost $22 million, with just over $2.2 million coming from the bonds. A contractor is currently being sought, with bids due in early May and council planning to award it in June. Construction should begin this summer, with a late fall 2020 completion anticipated. A $3 million Main Library renovation project will also be aided by more than $1.3 million in bonds. Lund said the city is seeking a designer, which should be finalized in the next month or two. “The library was built in 1991, so definitely the way we deliver services has changed since then,” she explained. “They’re going to look at redoing the entry to the library and the circulation desk, and then the restrooms need to be updated to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.” Phase one construction has an estimated completion of late summer 2020. A second phase will follow. “The second phase of the project is really focused on our outdoor areas,” Lund said. “We have a children’s area courtyard and we have a patio on the second floor, and those places don’t really have much shading and they don’t have any comfortable seating. So we want to be able to program those areas to kind of expand the footprint of the library by utilizing the outdoors in a better way.” Finally, the New River Trail is being extended from Williams Road to Happy Valley Road. Peoria’s portion previously ran from Northern Parkway to Williams, Lund said, though it was recently extended to Pinnacle Peak Road. The next step is to extend it from Pinnacle Peak to Happy Valley. Construction should begin next summer, she said. The project will be aided by $114,589 from bonds. As of print, the project’s full cost was not available to Peoria Times. “These are all projects that I know we have been waiting for and our citizens have been waiting for that we just approved in our budget sessions, so we were expecting this,” Carlat said as the bonds were approved at the April 16 meeting.

Peoria mom urges Phoenix police to carry overdose drug BY BRYCE NEWBERRY Cronkite News
The Phoenix Police Department is the largest law enforcement agency in Arizona whose officers don’t carry the opioid overdose-reversal drug Narcan, a nasal spray form of naloxone. Officers at other area police departments, including Avondale, Glendale, Goodyear, Mesa, Scottsdale and Surprise, have access to Narcan and are allowed to administer the drug. In 2018, Buckeye police used Narcan 11 times, and the drug has been used to save two lives since January. Phoenix Police Department has distributed kits to only 100 specialty officers, out of a total of about 2,900 sworn officers. Michelle Hamby of Peoria has lost two children to opioid overdoses since 2013. She firmly believes Peoria officers could have saved her daughter’s life if they administered Narcan. “When my daughter overdosed, Peoria police were to my house in two minutes, but fire (department) did not respond for 10 minutes,” Hamby said.

She was surprised to learn that Phoenix police did not carry Narcan to administer to the community. She wants that to change. “I’m going after Phoenix because they’re the largest municipal police department,” Hamby said. In a statement, Sgt. Vince Lewis, a spokesman for the Phoenix Police Department, said the department has an opioid antagonist program that is limited to specialized divisions, including drug enforcement, K-9,
bomb squad, transit and airport bureaus. “Future expansions of the program may include use on the community. Training for every first responding patrol officer could take time, as it is our understanding that the course is three hours,” Lewis said. Hamby began contacting Phoenix police last month about carrying the drug. Since then, the department has requested 1,800 Narcan kits and training from the Arizona Department
of Health Services, but it’s not clear when any program might start. Judith Ochieng, a clinical assistant professor at Arizona State University’s Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation, said Narcan is lifesaving and safe for police to carry. “They’re usually the first responders, and being the first responders it’s important to have something they can do for those people when they find them laying there,” Ochieng said. The Phoenix Law Enforcement Association, the union that represents the city’s police officers, does not have any hesitations about officers carrying Narcan or administering it, according to association president Britt London. Even though they aren’t medics, police officers will perform lifesaving measures until fire department personnel arrive. Lewis said Phoenix police will continue to partner with Phoenix fire on suspected overdoses and may perform other essential steps, like CPR, until Narcan is made available. Cronkite News producer Emily Garcia contributed to this story.

Student facing possible charges for Peoria seeks candidate for false accusations against teacher vacant council seat BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
A teacher who was under investigation for an inappropriate relationship with a student has been cleared of all charges after Peoria police determined there is no evidence to support a relationship ever having occurred between the two. According to Peoria Police spokesman Brandon Sheffert, a 14-year-old Mountain Ridge High School student completed a police report in February claiming she had had a relationship with a teacher at the school. Neither the teacher nor the minor’s names have been released. The student made multiple statements suggesting the two of them had been involved in an intimate relationship since the fall of 2018. The teen also claimed that the teacher had stalked her for months via emails, texts and phone calls. Sheffert said, “After extensive investigation, it was determined there was not a single piece of evidence to support the teen’s claims of a relationship with her teacher. This investigation was extremely
thorough, the diligent work by detectives uncovered the truth, and the case against the teacher has been closed without any charges.” Because police have now determined there was not a single piece of evidence to support the teen’s claims, detectives submitted charges to the Maricopa County attorney’s office for false allegations. Deer Valley Unified School District Director of Communications and Community Engagement Monica Allread offered no comment. But in a letter sent to parents she said, “(an MRHS) teacher was on an approved leave of absence connected to a Peoria Police Department investigation. Police have now completed a very extensive investigation, and did not find a single piece of evidence of wrongdoing by the teacher.” The letter to parents also said, “The district cooperated fully with Peoria police on its investigation. We are unable to provide any further information.” The Maricopa County attorney’s office had no comment on if charges would be filed against the student.

Leone resigns from city council amid health concerns BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
Just eight months after winning reelection, Pine District Councilman Carlo Leone announced his resignation due to ongoing health issues. Leone announced his resignation during the April 16 council meeting. Leone won his sixth term by defeating Denette Dunn and Randal “RJ” Rains, challengers to represent the Pine District in southwest Peoria. “I am honored that residents have chosen me time and again to be their representative,” Leone said. “It is out of the greatest respect for my constituents and my unwavering support for the city that I have chosen to step aside. This job is too important to give anything less than 100% and, unfortunately, I am no longer able to give that at this time.” During his time on council, Leone was regularly a dissenting vote and has been an outspoken critic on Northern Parkway and marijuana dispensaries within Peoria.
Having recently won his sixth term on Peoria City Council, Carlo Leone announced his retirement. (Photo courtesy of city of Peoria)
Leone moved to Peoria in 1988. He and his wife, Joan, were married for 63 years and lived in the same home prior to Joan’s passing on November 17, 2018, at the age of 81. Leone was first elected in May 1999, before term limits existed in

Peoria. He was re-elected five times: 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014 and 2018. Having had a longtime passion for politics, Leone said the first time he ran for office he wanted to “do some good.” “And I have,” he said. “Some people have said I’m the greatest representative they’ve ever had.” Leone considers the Target store at Northern and 91st avenues one of his first major accomplishments. That shopping center is now considered one of the top centers in the city and boasts Kohl’s, several restaurants, a bank and small business offices. Leone also pointed to his efforts to repair and add streets, as well as implement handicapped curbing. “I don’t work for the council; I work for the people,” Leone said. An active member of the community, Leone has been a member of the Peoria Diamond Club for the past 24 years. He is a member of the Knights of Columbus, has volunteered at Habitat for Humanity of the West Valley and has attended block watch and HOA meetings and
school events. “Carlo has devoted many years to representing the Pine District,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said. “On behalf of the Peoria City Council, we thank him for his years of service. His retirement is well deserved and we wish him health and happiness.” Members of the city were quick to point to Leone’s dedication to Peoria citizens. “Carlo has always represented the city with pride and enthusiasm,” City Manager Jeff Tyne said. “It has been a privilege to serve under his leadership.” Council is seeking an interim councilmember to fill the vacancy. (See related article). The person appointed will fill the seat until a special election in August, with a runoff in November if no one gets 50% of the vote.

Parents file $15M claim in death of son
Peoria Times
BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
After their 12-year-old son was killed while walking home from school last October, Isaiah McGinnis’ parents have filed a $15 million claim against Peoria Unified School District and others. McGinnis was walking home from Santa Fe Elementary School when he was hit by a truck as he was crossing Peoria Avenue at 77th Avenue. He later died at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. “There was nothing in the area to warn motorists that there are kids in the area,” said attorney Abdul Jaiteh, who is representing Kizzen James, the boy’s mother. “My client’s concern is safety, so this doesn’t happen to someone else.” The claim, which is filed prior an actual lawsuit, seeks a combined $15 million in damages. It seeks $10 million for James from Peoria, Peoria Unified School District, the Arizona Department of Transportation and the Maricopa County Department of Transportation. The claim also seeks $5 million for McGinnis’ father, Dennis McGinnis. “There’s other children who live in that area that do cross that street every single day,” James said after the accident. “No parent should have to go through this. All he had to do was just slow down.” The claim alleges the intersection at 77th and Peoria avenues doesn’t have a crosswalk and is too far from the crosswalks at 75th and 79th avenues. “Studies have shown that even the typical adult pedestrian will not walk more than approximately 600 feet to the nearest crosswalk,” according to the claim. “Here, the nearest crossing signal is ... more than double the distance of what the average adult has been proven to walk.” While PUSD employs crossing guards at crosswalks, most are adjacent to their schools. “We are devastated by the loss of one of our students,” PUSD

spokeswoman Danielle Airey said in a press release. “We have expressed our sincerest condolences to the family, as the school community and district shares in their grief.” ADOT and Maricopa County Department of Transportation provided no comment on the case. The driver of the truck that struck McGinnis already reached a settlement with the family. According to the filing, the truck was driving westbound on Peoria Avenue when a passenger in the truck yelled for the driver to watch out as McGinnis ran into the street. The driver told officers he was unable to swerve out of the way. The police report said the driver showed no signs of impairment from drugs or alcohol, so he was not cited. A Peoria spokeswoman called the collision a “tragic accident” and declined to comment further. “This was a tragic accident where a young boy unexpectedly ran into the street, outside of a crosswalk, and the driver couldn’t avoid the collision,” Peoria spokeswoman Jennifer Stein said in a statement. “There are two crosswalks at signalized intersections in the vicinity. Unfortunately, because the city has been served with notices of claim, we cannot comment further.”

Glendale, Surprise, Peoria look forward to economic growth BY ANDREA ESTRADA Peoria Times Staff Writer
Realtors and members of the community joined the Women’s Council of Realtors (WCR) in midApril to discuss developments in the West Valley. Glendale, Surprise and Peoria emerged as cities with agendas for economic growth. But economic development doesn’t just magically happen, said Lori German, communications program manager for the Glendale Office of Economic Development. “There needs to be that plan so we can put in all that infrastructure and all those components that will allow (development),” German explained. Some of those plans in Glendale are right along the Loop 303 corridor, added Glendale Office of Economic Development Program Manager Randy Huggins. “If you move out to the 303, that’s our new frontier. That’s where we’re really developing a lot of infrastructure,” Huggins said. One of those developments
mentioned by Huggins is a 700,000-square-foot facility Red Bull, Rauch Fruit Juices and Ball Corp. will build, per a development agreement approved by the Glendale City Council. The facility, which will be located at the southeast corner of Reems Road and Peoria Avenue, will generate more than 140 jobs, Huggins noted. Daniel Benson, economic specialist at the Glendale Office of Economic Development, said the city will also create jobs by working with local education institutes. “The ASU West campus has a new cyber security program they’re doing and also some cyber technology. So, they’re already building that workforce for us to kind of bring in some of those businesses,” Benson said. Education institutes are also spawning growth in Surprise, said Jeanine Jerkovic, Surprise’s director of economic development. “We have a lot of square footage under construction in our city center area, right near city hall, primarily
because of Ottawa University,” Jerkovic said. “They will have an estimated 800 students next year. They’re building residential campus, a recreation center, city café. Great opportunities there.” Like Glendale, Surprise is also developing along the Loop 303 Freeway. Just west of the 303, Toll Brothers is building Sterling Grove, a 2,200-home luxury community, said Jerkovic, who called it a “game changer.” At Loop 303 Freeway and Bell Road, Surprise will build its first micro hospital – Abrazo Surprise Hospital, Jerkovic said. “Health care is changing,” she said. But health care is also taking off in Peoria, said Kirsten Hall, business development coordinator of Peoria’s Economic Development Services Department. “This is something that’s happening: Maricopa Integrated Health Systems, or MIHS. It’s on Cotton Crossings and Grand Avenue,” Hall said. And according to Hall, the 70-acre campus, slated to be complete by the
fourth quarter of 2019, will bring about 300 jobs. “They’re not bringing a restaurant or a café with them. That’s good news for all the other development we want to do.” Peoria also has shovel-ready projects in the works including Stadium Point @ P83, Hall said. “We’re looking at possibly two towers, maybe 300,000 square feet of Class A office. About 100,000 square feet of retail and restaurant. This would also include the city being required to build a stacked parking garage,” she said. “We would have a corporate lifestyle center. That would absolutely change the face of P83.” Corporate office growth, health care, education and signature retail projects are captivating opportunities for the West Valley that will create a workforce, Jerkovic said. “It makes very little sense to me that (of) 1.7 million people living in the West Valley, 90% of them are leaving to go to a job in Scottsdale or Tempe or somewhere else,” she said. “We believe in our communities.”

Attorney disbarred for forgery and misrepresentation BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
An attorney from Scottsdale has been disbarred after mishandling six separate client cases as well forging clients’ signatures and cashing checks that were awarded to his clients. He at one point made misleading claims of being in negotiations with the previous Peoria city attorney regarding a case. David K. Rosen of Scottsdale was disbarred and ordered to repay the State Bar of Arizona $37,745 for the costs and expenses associated with the disciplinary proceedings and ruling against him. According to the order from the Presiding Disciplinary Judge of the Arizona Supreme Court, Rosen received substantial settlements for his clients then forged the client’s names and those cashed checks without distributing funds to his clients. In one case, Rosen held onto funds after an insurance company had disbursed $4,400 settlements and did not release funds to the client until she had filed a complaint. In another case, he won a $9,745 settlement for a client in a personal injury case and failed to resolve the outstanding liens in the case and did not distribute any of the settlement to the client.
In another personal injury case, Rosen settled a case for nearly $25,000 and had his client sign a release, but then said they never received any of the money. Rosen, in a dental malpractice claim, failed to inform his client that he had been suspended by the bar during representing them in the case. While suspended, he filed a complaint in Maricopa County Superior Court under the name of another attorney who was unaware that Rosen was using his identity. The client’s case was dismissed for lack of prosecution. Rosen again used the identity of another attorney without their permission to file multiple pleadings in a Maricopa County Superior Court case. Opposing counsel notified the attorney of Rosen’s misconduct. In a licensing case, successor counsel filed a complaint against Rosen after learning he collected money from his clients and then abandoned them without issuing a refund. He was paid $3,500 to defend them in a matter. Rosen misled them by stating he was in negotiations with the previous Peoria City attorney regarding their case, which was false, as he never had contact with that office on behalf of the clients. Rosen failed to comply with the State Bar of Arizona’s investigation in all cases.

Peoria circular bus makes its first trip BY EMILY DITOMASSO Peoria Times Staff Writer
The rise in popularity of Lyft and Uber has not stopped the city of Peoria from actively advancing public transportation to give the community easy and affordable ways to travel. On April 22, Valley Metro introduced Peoria on the Go (POGO), a free circular bus route in north Peoria. “Twenty-first century cities need 21st century transportation options,” said Scott Smith, CEO of Valley Metro, during the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “Something that surprises people is that in this Valley nearly 70 million riders a year ride our buses, our trains and our paratransit,” Smith said. “That’s about 250,000 people a day.” POGO runs every 30 minutes, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Friday, and stops at 30 bus stops. Valley Metro’s manager of geographic and service planning, Joe Gregory, said the company tried to keep each stop within a couple miles. Locations along the route include the P83 entertainment district, Arrowhead Transit Center at Arrowhead Towne Center, Sunrise Mountain Library, Sunrise and Liberty high schools, multiple

grocery and drug stores, retail and restaurants, medical offices, multi- and single-family residences and trailheads. “We look for activity areas, land use and the connections,” Gregory said. Buses are wheelchair accessible and have bike racks. “Improving the connectivity of our community has been a goal of mine for many years, and I am thrilled to introduce the POGO as our latest addition to Peoria’s robust transportation network,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said. “Our city is fast growing; and with the addition of POGO, our residents will have increased
mobility to access even more areas of our remarkable community.” According to Valley Metro deputy director, Carol Ketcherside, studies showed there was a huge demand for new transportation systems in Peoria. She said it’s a huge coup for Peoria and it should be applauded for making the transportation investment. She said Peoria footed the bill for the program. Riders can track the location and progress of the bus by downloading an app to their devices. The TSO POGO app is available to download from iTunes or Google Play.

How parents can ensure prom is a night to remember BY SHOMARI B. JACKSON Southwest Behavioral & Health Services Prevention Specialist
High school graduation is right around the corner for Arizona seniors, and teens are faced with a wild mix of emotions – sadness to be parting with friends and the familiarity that high school brings, stress as they push through their final assignments and nervousness and elation as they prepare to walk across the graduation stage to move on to their next phase of life. Between all this, there is one event in particular that brings much anticipation, planning and excitement – prom! Teens spend countless hours preparing for this one special night. It’s a last hurrah where all of a teen’s friends are in one place at the same time. But as fun and as memorable as this night should be, it can quickly
turn dangerous. Each year, teens across the country engage in this so-called “rite of passage,” but many teens are also put at risk during this time. According to a report put out by AAA: • 39% of high school teens report it is likely they or their friends will be under the influence of drugs or alcohol sometime during prom or graduation season. • 87% of teens believe their peers are likely to drive impaired instead of calling their parent or guardian for help because they are afraid of getting in trouble. • 33% of teens know other teens who have been arrested for impaired driving. • 23% of teens have ridden in a car with an impaired driver. • 28% of teens have called their parents at least once to pick them up
because either they or their ride was impaired. • 83% of teens would support a program that offers to tow the family vehicle home for free to avoid the risk of anyone driving impaired even when it means admitting to their parents or guardians that they’ve been drinking and/or using drugs. Not sure how to ensure your child makes prom a lasting memory with a sober and safe celebration? Here are a few tips to help: Set expectations. While helping your teen prepare for prom, discuss what you expect from them on this occasion. Just because it’s a special night doesn’t mean that all rules go out the window. Don’t assume your teen is “too good.” Talk to your teen openly and honestly about their thoughts and feelings on alcohol and drug use, as
well as the dangers. What should they do if they are offered drugs or alcohol? Know the plan for the night. Know where your teen is getting ready, where they’re having dinner, what time prom starts and ends and what their plans are following the event. It also doesn’t hurt to check in with other parents to make sure they got the same itinerary. Set a curfew. Since it is a special occasion, maybe the curfew can be set later than usual, but there should still be a cutoff time for when your teen should return home. Make safe transportation arrangements. Make sure your teen has a safe way to get to and from prom, and encourage them not get in a car with a person who has been drinking. Make it clear that if your teen feels unsafe riding with someone or driving, they can call you. Keep in touch. Throughout the night,
Peoria Times
April 25, 2019
send a text to your teen and ask that they do the same. Parents can ask how the night is going, and you can ask your teens to confirm once they’ve made it to dinner or the venue. This also provides them the opportunity to tell parents if something is going wrong. Create a contingency plan. If something does go wrong, having a safe word or phrase can alleviate any worries or even embarrassment if your teen needs you to pick them up. Don’t think you can control everything. Sure, parents may wish they could prevent their child from making any sort of dangerous mistake, but being controlling and
overbearing may not be the right way to go about this. Being too controlling may distance you from your teen and prevent them from calling if they get into a bad situation. As you and your teen prepare for prom, remember that parents have the most impact on teens choosing to live a healthy lifestyle. Talk about expectations and safety so that your teen can have a fun and positive, but still safe prom night. Author Shomari B. Jackson is a prevention specialist with Southwest Behavioral & Health Services in the Community Youth Development Department.

What’s going on just north of Grand BY VICKI HUNT Peoria Mayor Pro Tem
Peoria has long identified the deepest of the city’s history with Grand Avenue and the BNSF railroad. These time-tested transportation routes brought the earliest Peoria settlers and commenced the city’s first agricultural commerce to market. Old Town Peoria, between Washington and Monroe streets, south and west of Grand, has just now began to see its share of new development. But many of us knew all of that. The Peoria that is just north of Grand includes one the Valley’s oldest campuses — Peoria High School — some of the city’s oldest neighborhoods, and a battle-tested shopping area that is just beginning its next chapter. Peoria Town Center is located at the crossroads of 83rd and Peoria avenues, just north of Grand Avenue. Generations knew this center as the home to Peoria’s only Walmart and to the only grocery store within walking distance of Old Town.

After a number of years sitting idle when Walmart and the grocery store relocated, a Utah businessman purchased the majority of the shopping center. Ray Hult, State Trailer Supply owner and operator, purchased the shopping center to locate his retail
operation so that it would be near our booming population of recreational vehicle visitors. Once State Trailer was open and thriving, Ray began redevelopment for the rest of his space. Peoria Discount Grocery opened in mid-2018, and is operated by local owners Rick and Carla Harris. The store, formerly located farther south in Peoria, has been in business for more than 30 years. Just over 20 retail employees work in the “front end” of the store. Deep-discount grocery and home supplies line the aisles. Several nonprofit organizations make weekly shopping trips to the store, combing the current specials as they share the aisles with individual shoppers. The store’s “back end” is an online sales company that features high end shoes, mostly of the athletic type. Approximately 50% of the store’s monthly revenue is generated from online retail sales. A handful of young, savvy “tech types” manage the inventory, the marketing and the shipping for the “mini-Amazon”
online operation. Also, just north of Grand, at the Peoria Avenue intersection, construction has started on a new transportation park and ride lot. At the location of a previous convenience market and then pawn shop, Peoria’s first shaded Park and Ride will centralize transportation for metro bus riders. The facility is being developed to accommodate existing bus transportation, and it leaves open plans to address future transit demand. Shade canopies will provide parking for daily bus users. With the recent opening of the 83rd Avenue bus route and its direct connections to nearly a dozen eastwest routes, daily bus ridership in Peoria has increased more than 30%. When the new Peoria Park and Ride opens this summer, we expect to see ridership increase again. Good things are happening throughout Peoria. We can point to several projects as a real source of pride right here in central Peoria’s own backyard – just north of Grand!

Therapy dogs in action throughout West Valley BY ALISON BAILIN BATZ
Peoria Times Contributing Writer
Sometimes the best helping hand is not a hand at all – it’s a paw. “Studies show animal-assisted therapy specifically helps to lower cortisol levels in the brain; reduce blood pressure and heart rate, ease anxiety and increase endorphins
organization that has provided quality behavioral health, health care and social services to children, families and adults of all ages since 2017. “People often confuse therapy dogs with service dogs and/or emotional support dogs,” said Alex Warren, an enrollment and eligibility manager at JFCS as well as a therapy dog owner

and oxytocin,” said Wendy Brishke, LMSW, a child clinician at the Jewish Family & Children’s Service (JFCS) Glendale Healthcare Center who uses both 7-year-old Casanova and 2-yearold Dazzle – both golden retrievers – in her practice. Therapy dogs like Casanova and Dazzle have been used at multiple West Valley health care centers through JFCS – a nonprofit, nonsectarian

and trainer. A service dog, according to Warren, is trained to help people – generally one specific person at a time – with disabilities including visual impairments, mobility issues such as paralysis, epilepsy and more. “They are considered working animals – not pets – another important distinction,” said Warren, noting that is why if you’ve ever come across a service animal, you’ve likely been told not to pet or play with him or her. An emotional support dog, Warren said, is trained to provide its owner therapeutic benefits through companionship. “A therapy dog, however, is trained to provide support, comfort and affection to one or more individuals, or even to a group of multiple individuals,” Warren said. “You can hug them, kiss them, even cry on them.” Warren’s 3-year-old golden retriever, Wrigley, is a dog at the JFCS Michael
R. Zent Healthcare Center (MRZ) in Phoenix. He works in several areas of the clinic – both with children and adults – helping to do everything from ease anxiety before blood draws to comforting support groups to even calming PTSD patients. Wrigley has even been known to work his way through obstacle courses of sorts at MRZ to help children in their sensory integration therapy programs. MRZ co-director Diane Palacios said the dogs’ impact on patients is clear. “From their facial expressions to the immediate change in their behavior, our patients physically change for the better within minutes of interaction with one of these dogs,” Palacios said. And while there are several dozen stories that come to Palacios’s mind to illustrate Wrigley’s direct impact, a recent teen patient with autism stands out. “He was here to meet with his practitioner for his meds, but he was unstable to the point where we thought he would need to be hospitalized,” Palacios said. Enter Wrigley. “By interacting with Wrigley, this teen was able to regulate, and we were able to move forward with his service plan,” Palacios said. According to Palacios, the effect is not limited to patients. “When a staff member lost her father-in-law, she was visually upset,” Palacios said. “Wrigley sensed something was wrong and immediately instinctually went to comfort her.” Casanova’s and Dazzle’s work at the JFCS Glendale Healthcare Center is a bit more narrowly focused than Wrigley. “Casanova and Dazzle work with me in my practice to specifically help children,” Brishke said. “I use them as tools with children that have trauma as well as health and mental issues.” According to Brishke, their duties differ based on the child. “For some, the dogs are meant to be a calming presence. For others, they provide a needed distraction. And for
others, they – Dazzle in particular – provide a lesson in patience,” Brishke said. Brishke often uses Dazzle to show children what a particular behavior can look like to someone else. “I will have Dazzle continuously model bad or repetitive behaviors in front of a child, until the child clearly sees the behavior as annoying or frustrating,” Brishke said. “Then, it becomes a teachable moment. I ask the child if there are any disruptive or repetitive behaviors he or she might be doing at home, in class or even in treatment. And it clicks.” For children in deep distress and those who have overcome severe trauma, Casanova and Dazzle are often able to do what humans cannot: get

them to stay and listen. “We often see children who have lived through severe neglect, lived in multiple group or foster homes or have survived through more than any child should,” Brishke said. “They may be wary of any adult, even us, at first, but they are often happy to see the dogs.” And, according to Brishke, while these children may not be readily open to services from the onset, they are willing to give it a chance if it means playing with Casanova and Dazzle.

Foodstock returns for a third year with 50 trucks BY EMILY DITOMASSO Peoria Times Contributing Writer Foodies are invited to eat for a good cause at Foodstock, an evening event with food trucks and games. Get Local AZ and the Peoria Diamond Club are hosting the third annual Foodstock from 4 to 10 p.m. Saturday, April 27, at the Peoria Sports Complex. The festival is in the ballpark and stadium seating will be available. “We are doing it a little bit differently this year,” said Christa Esquibo, owner of Get Local AZ. “We decided to back
down on the number of food trucks to create ample time for people.” Foodstock will feature more than 50 food trucks, music and activities for kids, such as bounce houses, a splash pad, face painting and a barrel train. A full bar with beer, wine and mixed drinks will be available for adults. Tickets are $5 and kids 12 and younger and parking is free. Food is separate; $3 deals will allow guests to sample food instead of purchasing a full meal. “That’s very hard to find, especially at this kind of event,” Esquibo said. The food trucks include Arizona Wings N’ More, Scookie Bar, Fantasy Funnel Cake, Flyin’ Hawaiian and The Maine Lobster Lady, the latter of which will soon return to Maine. There will also be vegetarian and vegan options. “I am looking forward to eating however much I can stomach,” Esquibo said.

Air Force sergeant returns home in time for baby’s birth BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Air Force Staff Sgt. Chase Frazee was deployed overseas when his daughter, Avarie, was born five years ago. Deployed again, he and his wife, Kellie, were prepared for him to miss the birth of his second child, Kinleigh. But thanks to a sympathetic Commanding Officer, he came home three days before her birth on April 9. Being without local family members is one of the challenges that many “homefront parents” face. The Frazee’s have no family in Arizona. Frazee is originally from Niceville, Florida, while Kellie is from Little Rock, Arkansas. “It’s always hard being away from our family on the East Coast, but we do love it out here in Arizona,” Kellie said. Peoria’s Unit 62 “adopted” Kellie and Avarie after they attended an event held by the Unit at Rocker 7 Pumpkin Patch last October. Because the American Legion Auxiliary is made up of women that are active military, veterans or direct family members of those who have served or are still serving, they understand what it means to be without local family. “Parents and kids of our deployed military are truly unsung heroes – living right here in our communities,” said Doris Theiss, Unit 62 president.
The junior members of Unit 62 held a baby shower for the family in January. In addition to many of the items on the families’ registry, the Unit purchased matching poppy dresses for the girls. “The Friday before Memorial Day, this year May 24, is National Poppy Day,” said Tammy Early, Peoria resident and Unit Poppy chairman. “Poppies were adopted by the American Legion Auxiliary nearly 100 years ago as a symbol of the sacrifices made by U.S. military. As junior members themselves, we wanted the girls to be part of that history.” Kellie and Avarie also participated in a “paint party” event held at Unit 62 in March. Avarie, who attends prekindergarten school in Surprise, was happy watching movies on her mom’s phone, while Kellie joined 25 other ladies painting a garden scene on a lighted bottle. The event was a fundraiser for Unit 62’s art wellness program, HEAL HER Art, for women veterans. As Kellie’s due date got closer, members of the unit stayed in close touch with Kellie. When plans for family to visit fell through at the last minute, the unit stepped in. “We were on deck to drop everything if we got the call,” Theiss said. As it happened, Frazee arrived on a

Saturday – and Kinleigh was born the following Tuesday. “After immediate family, the women of the Auxiliary were the first to know about Kinleigh’s birth,” Kellie said. Kinleigh, born 7 lbs. 10 oz., is the unit’s
smallest and youngest member. At 7 days of age, she was voted in at the April general meeting. Frazee has earned some R&R and is enjoying time with his family at their Surprise home.

Extraordinary Rides: 2019 Lexus IS350 BY C.A. HAIRE Peoria Times Contributing Writer
There are plenty of small sports sedans on the market, but those seeking one with Japanese engineering and build quality should give this Lexus IS350 a test drive. The IS350 is a nice-looking vehicle, especially with its Ultrasonic Blue Mica paint job. But one look under the hood proves more impressive, as this Lexus boasts a 3.5-liter V-8 that cranks 311 horsepower. It is hooked to an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode. The fuel economy claimed is 20/28 mpg. The IS350 we tested featured the optional F-Sport package. It includes larger alloy wheels, summer tires, special instrument cluster, limited slip differential, adaptive suspension and interior trim. A control knob offers eco, normal, custom, sport and sport-

plus modes of operation. This package racks up an additional $3,195 over the $41,930 base price, but with other extras like navigation, an
835-watt stereo, LED headlights, auto-dimming mirrors, a rear sunshade, park assist, sill lights and a cargo net, the $52,608 tab, while not inexpensive, falls in
line with the competition. Upon testing this vehicle, we racked up 450 miles in one week. The results were impressive. It reaches 60 mph in 5.6 seconds, takes tight corners with ease, has a smooth ride and features strong brakes. The body structure is solid and has no rattles or leaks. The fuel economy was 17 mpg in the city, with 27/29 on highway trips. The seats are comfortable, and most controls are easy to operate. The only complaint worth mentioning is the poor sun visor design. Lexus does not offer enough slide adjustment to block the sun through the side windows, which caused my face to get baked by the sun on a hot day. This is a serious oversight that needs to be corrected. But overall, the Lexus IS350 is a nice, solid car that loves to be driven hard, yet is a pussycat in daily commuting. It is a good alternative to the European competition.

Friends going step for step atop Arizona distance running BY ERIC NEWMAN

Their paths have been very similar. They both played other sports for many years – Palmer played baseball throughout childhood while Espinoza was a competitive gymnast – and realized they could be special runners at the high-school level. Now, they are two of the state’s top runners, and both have years left to improve. Sunrise Mountain coach Scott Hereder said Palmer not only excels as an athlete, but has also become a leader for the Mustangs on and off the track. “He is great, and he’s one of my

Espinoza had the top 3,200 time in division 2, according to AIA statistics, finishing at 9:19.80 at the Chandler Rotary Invitational in March. Palmer was right on his heels, clocking 9:20.82 at the same meet. While both runners are considered

Both runners feel they have not yet achieved their best times this season, and hope to vastly improve their times by the end of the semester. Both because of and despite their close friendship, Espinoza and Palmer have created a rivalry that would make winning a gold medal this season feel even sweeter. “It would be amazing if I can win at state and even better if I can beat him,” Palmer said. “But I know he’s feeling the exact same.”

Addressing those difficult questions we struggle with in life Today, let’s muse on answering those difficult “Why” questions we have from time to time. Here’s a stellar example of someone struggling at 66 years old to answer her deep questions. A friend sent this to me. “I am 66 years old and I have so many unanswered questions in my life. I still haven’t found out who let the dogs out. Remember ‘where’s the beef?’ Well, where is it? I still haven’t found out how to get to Sesame Street. Why didn’t Dorie use Google Maps to find her way home? Why do all flavors of fruit loops taste the same? Why are eggs packaged in a flimsy paper carton while batteries are secured in plastic that’s tough as nails? Consider this: Why is ‘abbreviated’ such a long word? Why is there a ‘D’ in ‘fridge’ but not in refrigerator? That has perplexed me for years. Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, yet dish-washing liquid is made with real lemons? Why do they sterilize the needle before lethal injections? Why do you have to ‘put your two cents in’ but it’s only a ‘penny for your thoughts?’ Where did that extra penny go?
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Contributing Writer
But wait, there’s more! Why did the chicken cross the road? Speaking of chickens, which came first, the chicken or the egg? That has kept me up for nights on end. And just what is Victoria’s Secret? I want to know. And why do ‘The Alphabet Song’ and ‘Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star’ have the same tune? And why did you just try to sing those two previous songs? Gotcha! Do you really think I am this witty? Let me tell you a secret. I received these thoughts from a friend who stole it from her brother’s girlfriend’s uncle’s cousin’s baby doctor who lived next door to an old classmate’s mailman. Take it from me. Keep it going and put a smile on someone’s face. And for goodness sakes, don’t sweat the small stuff. Save your energy for the bigger
stuff.” Did you know there is a psalm in the Bible with wisdom on trying to make sense of things there seems to be no answers for? Psalm 131 was written by David to God for Israel in those questioning times. “O Lord, my heart is not proud, or my eyes haughty; nor do I involve myself in great matters, or in things too difficult for me. Surely, I have composed and quieted my soul; like a weaned child rests against his mother, my soul is like a weaned child within me. God’s people, hope in the Lord, from this time forth and forever more.” That’s great advice. Hope now and hope always because hope floats us in deflating times. Hope is the expectation of future good that brings with it future understanding. There will be times in life when nothing makes sense. “Why did this happen to me? Why did a loved one die way too early? Why are there all the problems in the world? Why… Why… Why?” I have a feeling we will be asking “Why” questions way after we are 66 years old, don’t you?
Do you see what David did here? After you have tried to make sense of it and it doesn’t make sense no matter what you do, leave it alone. It’s a God thing. Don’t judge God and everyone else. Right now, what has happened is just beyond your earthly understanding. Don’t get proud and try and play God. Don’t get frustrated, get quiet like that weaned child. Lean into God. Don’t run from God. Run to God. Be humble enough to understand you don’t have to understand right now. In some cases there may never be an answer, so let it be. Here’s your takeaway. Do you have an unanswered question in life? No. Then don’t worry. Do you have an unanswered question in life? Yes. Can you do something about it? Yes. Then don’t worry. Do you have an unanswered question in life? Yes. Can you do something about it? No. Then don’t worry. Any more questions?

Wheels on Fire brings unique art space to Peoria BY ERIC NEWMAN
Peoria Times Staff Writer
When Mary Beedle began painting pottery and other figures for fun in her sister’s garage many years ago, it hadn’t occurred to her she might eventually do it as a job. Years later she opened Wheels on Fire, a do-it-all, paint-your-own pottery studio. The shop, located at 8643 W. Kelton Lane, Suite 102, Peoria, opened for business on March 22. Her sister, Angela Mangin, owned similar shops in Bullhead City and Surprise, and Beedle fell in love with the different crafts enough to open The Spotted Owl in Avondale in 2016. While Mangin has since closed her shop, she has partnered with her sister to not only provide support but also advice on owning
a commercial art studio. “She is my inspiration for all this. I’m really excited that she’s going to be there to help me,” Beedle said. Creating her own art, much of which is spread throughout the Peoria location, is a chance for Beedle to sit quietly and de-stress after a hard day of her other job: blackjack dealing. Some of her favorite memories since opening years ago have been the smiles on patrons’ faces after finishing a craft. She recalls a family who came into her shop with a grandmother who at first was upset and did not want to be there, but eventually began to enjoy herself. She ultimately came away with a wellpainted project the family has kept to this day.

“This woman was not having any of it, but the family got a horse she painted with her hand print on it, and they all walked away really happy,” Beedle said. Since Beedle turned on the lights at her Avondale location, people have expressed interest in not only painting the pre-made pottery and figures, but also creating their own. At 3,400 square feet, Beedle’s studio encompasses six pottery wheels; a paint-throwing room for abstract art; a station to make metal, barn-style signs; and more. While there are still plenty of precrafted items to paint, classes and instructors allow customers to create their own items from scratch. With a variety of crafts, she

hopes the shop’s regular patrons and newcomers will always have something new to work on. “This way, if people get tired of doing one thing, there’s a bunch of other options for them,” Beedle said. Obtaining and setting up the new materials was an initial challenge for Beedle, who still feels like she is learning about the arts alongside the customers. Wheels on Fire will have three staff teachers, each offering different classes and expertise in the various crafting processes available at the shop. While new artists may experience certain projects for the first time, Beedle may do the same with them. “It’s a lot to learn at once, so when the teachers are helping some of the customers, I go and look over their shoulder so I can try to figure it out, too, because I’m just as new to it as some of them are,” she said. While the Spotted Owl is still open, Beedle has considered selling and moving all her business to her Peoria location. But first, she wants to entice new customers and some of her Avondale regulars to follow her over to the new spot. “I’m in Peoria, my family’s here, and I’m hoping this shop can be here a long time,” she said.

Fast-growing tech repair franchise comes to Glendale BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF Glendale residents looking for a simple fix to any of their technological devices now have a solution. Tech repair brand uBreakiFix recently opened its newest location in Glendale. This is the brand’s 15th location in Maricopa County, joining stores in Peoria, Surprise, Goodyear, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Scottsdale and Phoenix. uBreakiFix services anything with a power button, including smartphones, game consoles, tablets, computers, drones and ever ything in between. To date, uBreakiFix has completed more than 5 million repairs. While common fixes include cracked screens, software issues and camera issues, the brand offers support for most technical problems on any electronic device, regardless of make or model. Through strategic partnerships with leading technology companies including Samsung and Google, uBreakiFix provides Samsung Galax y, Google Pixel and Pixelbook customers with manufacturer-backed, same-day repair services using genuine parts. Through the partnership with Samsung, Galax y owners can get in- and out-of-warranty repairs at more than 350 locations nationwide, with most repairs completed in two hours or less. “We want to be the goto store for the South Peoria community’s tech needs,” said Brett Warters, manager of both the South Peoria and Surprise locations. “After seeing the success of our Surprise store, I knew that uBreakiFix was exactly the kind of company I wanted to expand with so we could bring quality service to more people in our area.” The company was founded in 2009 by duo Justin Wetherill and David Reiff, who later partnered with Eddie Trujillo to transition their internet-
based brand to a brick-andmortar model. By offering convenience, accessibility and unparalleled customer service, uBreakiFix filled a gap in the repair marketplace and has since emerged as an industr y leader in growth, service offerings and authorized partnerships. In 2018, Wetherill was inducted into the Forbes Technology Council, and uBreakiFix earned a top spot on Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 list, ranking No. 18 overall, No. 1 in the Electronics Repair categor y and No. 1 on the Top New Franchises list. “At uBreakiFix, our goal is to take the hassle of a broken device and create the most positive, convenient experience possible for our customers,” Wetherill said. “We are a customer service company first and a tech repair company second. As we expand into South Peoria, we look forward to becoming the trusted resource to keep consumers and businesses connected to the things and people who matter most.” uBreakiFix has more than 500 locations open across the United States and Canada. The brand opened nearly 130 new stores in 2018 and plans to increase growth in 2019.
