Council approves tentative $670M budget BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
Peoria City Council approved a tentative $670 million budget for fiscal year 201920. This represents an increase of 1.5% over the previous year. Adopted at council’s May 7 meeting, the tentative budget consists of four major components, including planned operating expenditures, estimated capital improvements, annual debt obligations and appropriated reserves. State budget law requires a jurisdiction to adopt a tentative budget that sets the maximum level of appropriation for a fiscal year. As a result, the FY2020 budget includes contingency appropriation,
which provides authority to expend reserves to cover unforeseen or emergency situations. Deputy City Manager Andy Granger presented the recommended budget to council after first showcasing the issues during budget study sessions held in early April. Councilmembers reviewed the proposed budget in detail, evaluated issues that affect each city department, and gave staff instructions to complete the tentative budget. The operations component of the budget totals $311.7 million, which represents a 5.87% increase from the FY2019 level. In total, the operating budget supports 1,278 full-time equivalent positions, of which 28 are new requests for the fiscal year 2020

budget. The capital budget includes investments in various capital improvements throughout the city and is the first year of the 10year capital improvement program. The $256.4 million FY2020 capital budget represents a decrease of 7% from last year’s capital budget, while the 10-year capital improvement program totals $726.3 million and represents a 0.58% decrease from a year ago. “Key budget policy guidelines were followed, which are to provide five-year forecasts for operating funds, use resources for recurring expenses including ongoing and one-time expenditures,” Granger said.

Proposed residential community moving forward BY CONNOR DZIAWURA Peoria Times Managing Editor
Despite some opposition, Peoria officials have taken the next steps to facilitate the development of a new 30-home residential community at the southwest corner of 75th Avenue and Acoma Drive. Peoria City Council on May 7 authorized a minor general plan amendment to re-designate the property for a different type of residential than was previously allowed, as well as the rezoning of the site to a new planned area development. The proposal is for Bella Pasa, a neighborhood that will consist of 30 single-family, single-story homes with two- to threecar garages, Arizona Builder Sales owner Dean Selvey told Peoria Times. Selvey represents developer Bela Flor Communities. Home sizes will range from 2,200 to 2,800 square feet, while lot sizes will range from 8,030 to 11,811 square feet. “With an 8,000-square-foot lot, homeowners are going to get a very nice-size backyard, unlike some of the other communities that are being built where they’re very small lots,” said Selvey, who likened Bella Pasa to Lantana Homes’ nearby Sparrow Ranch community, east of the Peoria Sports Complex. According to council documents, the entry gates, walls and monumentation are planned to complement the surrounding area and architecture with a rustic color and material palette. Final designs have yet to be finalized, however. “Bela Flor really works hard in other communities to create consistency with the neighborhood without creating an outdated design,” Selvey explained. “They don’t want to build something that looks like 1987. They’re very modern, 2019 designs, but still within the consistency and flavor of the existing neighborhood.” The community will feature a gated entry accommodating up to two vehicles at 75th Avenue, along the eastern border, as well as fire access at Acoma Drive on the northwest corner of the site. The specific location of the driveway is subject to some refinement, Chris M. Jacques, the city’s planning director, explained to council. “It is a gated community with a very nice gated entry, a real sense of arrival, some very interesting architecture centered around the gates and the common area,” Selvey described to Peoria Times. An activity area consisting of a ramada, play area and shaded pavilion will be inside the 75th Avenue entrance, while a second activity area consisting of turf for
passive and active recreation will be at the southwest corner, Jacques said. Selvey added that the community will incorporate barbecue grills and benches. Preparing for development At the meeting, city council voted unanimously to re-designate the property from estate-density residential to low-density residential. Estate density allows up to two units per acre, with a targeted density of one, while low density allows two to five units per acre, with a target of three, Jacques said. Under the low-density designation, and with 30 homes planned, Bella Pasa’s gross density has been calculated just shy of that value, at 2.73 units per acre. The new designation was required, Jacques explained, as estate density works best for semi-rural communities with lots exceeding 18,000 square feet. In contrast, low density “supports more of a suburban character with moderately sized lots, generally between 8,000 to 12,000 square feet in size,” he said. The companion measure approved by council is the rezoning of the current planned area development, which had accommodated the Paradise Wholesale Nursery, to a brand new PAD that will allow the 30-lot community. “A planned area development is a tailored type of zoning district,” Jacques explained. “Every planned area development is different, but it offers the opportunity for staff, the applicant and the neighboring community to identity tailored standards that not only respond to the context but maybe some of the concerns in the area, so we can adjust the standards within the PAD document.” Mixed reception Community input was part of the process, as residents and registered HOAs were required to be given several notices, and several community meetings were held, Jacques explained. There were some concerns and pushback from residents in surrounding neighborhoods regarding details like lot sizes, property values and traffic, and the developer adjusted its initial proposal based on feedback, according to council documents. As for the Peoria Unified School District, Jacques said officials have offered their support. And as part of the process, according to Jacques, Bela Flor Communities was required to bring in a registered traffic
engineer to conduct studies of the surrounding community. Ultimately, he said, they determined the current roadways and surrounding community are sustainable for Bella Pasa and required no additional traffic modifications. But with the project now getting closer, still not everyone is happy. One local woman, Sharon Hendrickson, spoke to council, and requested officials not change the zoning or general plan. “The people to the south of there have invested tremendous amounts of effort and sweat into keeping those larger lots, keeping them up and keeping that neighborhood up,” Hendrickson said at the council meeting. And she suggested the city commission its own traffic study, independent of the company’s, for more transparency. “I don’t know anyone in my general neighborhood and my general building area that are happy about this. They’re not. They’re not one bit happy about this,” Hendrickson said. “We feel like this has been kind of fast tracked and there needs to be further study as to especially traffic and just general population density in that area.”
Moving forward All things considered, council was unanimously in favor of moving forward, however. And Selvey suggested that the project could arrive sooner rather than later. “Once all the approvals are done then typically it’s going to take six to nine months for what we call ‘horizontal’ or ‘land’ development, and then models would open thereafter,” Selvey explained. “I would anticipate that sales would be open sometime in 2020 — early 2020 would be my estimated target, but too soon to tell on that.” As for the company’s decision to open a community at 75th Avenue and Acoma Drive, Selvey called it a “spectacular location.” “Bela Flor has another product line that they’re building down the street, adjacent to that P83 district, down on 75th Avenue and Running Horse. It’s an entirely different product line, but they’re very bullish on Peoria, love the Arrowhead/P83 districts, and obviously easy proximity to transportation, major employment centers, entertainment, shopping. That north Peoria area is really something that’s very attractive to them.”

One person is dead after a collision at Lake Pleasant and Westwing parkways. According to Peoria police, 19-year-old Brandon Windhal of Glendale died in the collision, while two other passengers were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. Police said officers and other first responders from Peoria Fire-Medical responded to an injury collision and vehicle fire involving a white F250 pick-up truck and a black sedan around 5 p.m. May 10. Officers said the pick-up was northbound on Lake Pleasant Parkway, when the two vehicles collided as the black sedan — which was southbound on Lake Pleasant Parkway — was attempting a left turn onto Westwing Parkway. The pick-up then struck a traffic light pole and caught fire, which resulted in the death of Windhal and the injury of his two passengers. CIP FROM PAGE 1
Community Park in the northern part of the city. All projects follow the city’s “principles of sound financial management,” and are “continuously reviewed and annually updated to reflect the city’s needs as well as the ability to meet these needs.” Council had no questions and voted unanimously to approve the plan. The first year of the plan will return for approval and funding on May 23, Granger said. The CIP is the city’s budget for financing large capital projects and is an essential part of the city’s plan to extend services and facilities to the community. This 10-year funded plan is closely aligned with the city’s general plan, and incorporates the facility and infrastructure master plans prepared and maintained by various departments. It lays out the capital budget for the following fiscal year and provides a schedule of planned improvements and associated financing sources over the next 10 years. SEE CIP PAGE 4

As for the sedan, an 18-year-old woman and her passenger sustained minor injuries and were treated by Peoria Fire-Medical on scene. The intersection remained closed for much of the night as an inves-
tigation was launched, but it reopened for regular traffic around 11:30 p.m. Peoria Police Department’s traffic services unit continues to investigate.

“We also maintain appropriate fund reserve balances in this budget.” The FY2020 annual debt obligations are estimated at $43 million. This category includes annual city debt service payments for issued general obligation and revenue bonds. The contingency level is based on the city’s financial reserves and totals $59 million for the upcoming year. Each year, as part of the city’s strategic budgeting approach, department directors challenge their employees to identify performance, trends, options and opportunities for addressing citiCIP FROM PAGE 3
“This is a dynamic, 10-year balanced plan that has been updated to ensure the critical needs are being met but the cost, scope and timing of all projects coordinate through,” Granger said. “One key consideration is the ability to fund and maintain each project. As such, the projected operating impacts are included.” The 10-year CIP totals $726,341,328, which will support various projects through FY2029.
zen needs. As part of this process, the departments perform an analysis to determine the true cost of the services they provide. The result is a proposed budget for FY2020 that works within existing resources, but also includes modest additions to ensure service levels are maintained and the council’s priorities are addressed. This balanced approach ensures services and amenities are planned for and distributed in such a way that enhances business opportunities and the quality of life for citizens and visitors. Granger added that the city’s vigorous economic development pursuits
continue to be funded in a manner that produces beneficial results, including resources to further the economic development opportunities and initiatives approved by council in the adopted Economic Development Implementation Strategy II (EDIS II). “This is a balanced budget with no changes to the city’s general sales tax or property rate,” Granger said. “Staff is recommending a two-year adjustment in water, wastewater and solid waste rates, as well as added funding for economic development.” The recommended rate increases are necessary to address growing cost pressures and capital requirements
The FY2020 capital budget of $256,454,658 reflects the first year of the plan, which includes $152,406,449 for projects carried over from FY2019. The CIP addresses projects that are needed — or will be needed — across a broad spectrum of areas, including drainage, economic development, operational facilities, parks, public safety, streets and traffic control, and water and wastewater systems. “Key themes in developing this year’s (CIP) is incorporating the
projects that address council policy goals, key investments and maintaining our existing infrastructure, developing a full project that is well coordinated, meets our development standards and minimizes disruptions to the citizens. We plan and incorporate the ongoing operations,” Granger said.

The solid waste rate adjustment is necessary to reflect current waste management contracts and increased demand due to growth throughout the city.

improvements; operation facilities projects; public safety improvements including a new fire station; and many street and traffic control projects. Adoption of the CIP establishes the city’s plan for infrastructure development over the next 10 years, but does not provide the legal appropriation needed to expend public funds on the projects included in the program.

New canning facility joins foreign trade zone BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
Two months after announcing a new plant will be built in Glendale, RRB Beverage Operating Inc. is now part of the Greater Maricopa Foreign Trade Zone (GMFTZ). Red Bull, Ball Corporation and Rauch Fruit Juices will partner on construction of the plant, which will be at the southeast corner of Reems Road and Peoria Avenue. The three companies will fill cans in the 700,000-square-foot building. The GMFTZ is an area that, for the United States Customs and Border Protections (U.S. Customs) purposes, is considered to be in international commerce. Any foreign or domestic material can be moved into an FTZ without being subject to U.S. Customs duties. Each zone is operated as a public venture sponsored by a municipality or other authority. RRB’s zone, No. 277, facilitates numerous cities including Surprise, Buckeye, Goodyear, Avondale, Litchfield Park, El Mirage, Sun City, Wickenburg, Gila Bend, Youngtown, Peoria and Glendale. Local communities benefit from the increased economic development and business development and retention that result from GMFTZ projects. They provide attractive business opportunities and encourage foreign and domestic companies to expand and retain operations in the United States that may otherwise be relocated overseas and help add more jobs to the region. “We are so excited to be a part of what Rauch, Red Bull and Ball are planning here in the West Valley,” said Diane McCarthy, president of the GMFTZ board of directors. Among the reason companies join the GMFTZ are improved cash flows for businesses, reduced paperwork and expenses, reduced personal and property taxes in Arizona by 72%, added security and reduced supply chain U.S. Customs clearance speeds. Ball currently has a site near Van Buren Street and 51st Avenue, but
City Manager Kevin Phelps told The Glendale Star in March that the city’s economic development department had major work to do to help secure a deal for another facility. That site is not part of the GMFTZ. “(Economic development) and staff put together an incentive package and timeline. One of their biggest decision makers to selecting a site was getting shovels in the ground so (the facility) could be open in the first quarter of 2021,” Phelps said. “They had to be convinced that whatever city they selected could deliver on their timeline of opening in 2021.” The long-term partners — Rauch, Red Bull and Ball Corp. — are in ongoing discussion regarding the joint operation of the new plant. This may be the first ever USA operation of these partners, which will result in “import displacement” of tens of thousands of import containers each year. The facility is planned to become fully operational in the first quarter of 2021 and will employ over 120 full-time, higher-wage jobs when fully opened. The forecasted total investment is expected to exceed $250 million over the full five years of construction as it ramps up to full production. “Their needs included a secure water source, reliance on the FTZ for tariff balancing in this time of turmoil and the Woolf Logistics Center,” McCarthy said. “Becoming a magnet site within FTZ No. 277 proved just the perfect combination. We welcome RRB Beverage to our West Valley zone.” Red Bull announced the new plant will add to its growing North American demand and will continue its 32-year long collaboration with its partners. RRB Beverage selected IMS Worldwide Inc. to assist in securing the FTZ status, as well as to get the site activated with U.S. Customs and secure the manufacturing and activity permits.

PUSD fills newly vacant administrative positions BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF At the May 9 meeting, Peoria Unified governing board members filled two vacant administrative positions at the district: deputy superintendent and chief operations, safety and risk management officer for the 2019-20 school year. Dr. Jason Reynolds was appointed as the deputy superintendent. He will replace Steve Savoy, who is retiring. (See story on page 9.) Shawn Duguid will take John Croteau’s position as chief operations, safety and risk management officer. Croteau has accepted an opportunity at another district. Reynolds has served as assistant superintendent of leadership and secondary instruction within the Paradise Valley Unified School District since 2015, though he started his career much further back. Reynolds began his professional tenure with PVUSD in 1997, where he

has also held positions of director of curriculum and instruction, principal, assistant principal and teacher. He is the Arizona School Administrators Association’s president elect and serves as a board member of the North Phoenix Chamber of Commerce. He has degrees from Central College and Northern Arizona University.
Duguid currently serves as an executive director of elementary education and recently was principal of Oakwood Elementary School. He has been serving as a certified educator within the district since 1998 and is a former Peoria Unified student. Duguid has a bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University and a master’s degree in educational leader-
ship from NAU. PUSD is home to 42 stellar public schools that are created to fit the needs of all students. The district is the choice district for more than 37,000 students and 4,000 staff, serving as one of the largest employers in the West Valley and one of the largest unified school districts in Arizona. The district has signature programs spread out between 34 kindergarten through eighth-grade elementary schools and eight high schools that excel in academics, arts, athletics and Career and Technical Education programs. Its strategic plan outlines a laser focus on four key areas: student success, safety and wellbeing, stewardship of community resources, and community connection. Above all, Peoria Unified is committed to transparency, parent involvement and ensuring that “Every Student, Every Day is Prepared to Shape Tomorrow.”
Lawmakers approve school safety mandates BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services
Republican lawmakers on May 1 approved new mandates on schools to report violent incidents in what Democrats say is feel-good legislation to hide the shortfalls in education funding. HB 2119 requires school districts to come up with procedures to report any suspected crime that involves a deadly weapon or serious physical injury. That policy also would have to document “any conduct that poses a threat of death or serious physical injury to an employee, student or other person on school property.” Most notably, that policy requires notice to a parent of any student involved. Rep. Nancy Barto, R-Phoenix, said that apparently isn’t happening now, citing the testimony of a parent of a student at Mountain Trail Middle School in the Paradise Valley Unified School District who was one of three targets of a death threat. That same suspect, she said, also made statements about “shooting up the school.” “No calls were made to parents,” Barto said. “In fact, there was no policy in place
to ensure this incident was immediately reported to anyone,” she said, saying the student who made the threat was arrested “only after the parents got involved and they called the police.” When contacted by Peoria Times, Peoria Unified School District spokeswoman Danielle Airey noted her district has a parental notice practice implemented, though she said serious incidents on campus are rare. Rep. Isela Blanc, D-Tempe, said if GOP lawmakers were actually concerned about school safety there are some more concrete things they could do. That includes smaller class sizes and access to counselors and social workers. “But of course we don’t want to address those issues because it would require too much investment in children,” she said. Rep. Gerae Peten, D-Goodyear, chided her GOP colleagues for saying they care about public safety despite approving legislation earlier this year to allow people to drive onto public school campuses with loaded weapons in their vehicles. And Rep. Reginald Bolding, D-Laveen, questioned whether creating police reports on every incident is appropriate, as these could affect a stu-
dent’s long-term future opportunities. Rep. John Kavanagh, R-Fountain Hills, agreed the legislation would have long-term effects on children. “It keeps them alive,” he said. And Kavanagh said the only incidents that will be reported involve conduct that poses threat of death of serious physical injury. Nor was he concerned about the possibility of police involvement, noting that, in most cases, the youngsters involved would be juveniles and not end up in adult court with adult records. More to the point, Kavanagh said,
being referred to juvenile court could result in the students getting needed psychological help. Rep. Walt Blackman, R-Snowflake, said all the talk about investing in kids so they “make it” misses the point of this legislation. “They won’t make it if they’re dead,” he said. “They won’t make it if they’re in a hospital, shot up,” Blackman continued. “The investment starts with safety.” The 31-27 party-line vote sent the measure to the governor.

In an effort to continue the city’s revitalization efforts, Peoria City Council approved May 7 the acquisition of five properties in Old Town. The acquisition is for a 19,600-square-foot parcel north of the northeast corner of 83rd Avenue and Jefferson Street. The total acquisition cost is valued at $281,525. On the parcel is a 5,200-square-foot commercial building currently occupied by NAPA Auto Parts. According to council documents, NAPA plans to vacate the building by the end of the month. “This is part of the ongoing land acquisition program in Old Town in furtherance of Old Town revitalization efforts,” said Scott Whyte, real estate development officer. Whyte called the parcel in question a “key corner in the Old Town area.” The $281,525 project cost includes the $250,000 appraised value, an extra 10% ($25,000) above fair market value, $3,000 in closing costs, $1,525 for
trash cleanup and weed removal and $2,000 for facility maintenance. That amount will be transferred from the half-cent sales tax fund contingency to the commercial abatement project. An additional adjustment of $2,400 to the half-cent sales tax fund’s grounds
repair and maintenance account in the fiscal year 2020 budget is required for right-of-way maintenance. It will be an ongoing operational expense in the half-cent sales tax fund, according to documents. “In terms of the purpose for the acquisition, it’s initially for the purpose of land banking for the future attraction of targeted end users consistent with our Old Town revitalization documents as well as current economic development efforts,” Whyte explained. He added that the city is “certainly looking for Old Town revitalization to increase business attraction (and) investment opportunities,” but is “starting with land assembly and the recently completed Old Town development concept process.” According to documents, Old Town Peoria is “a key investment zone for facilitating economic development activities,” as was previously identified in the city’s economic development implementation strategy adopted by the city. And this parcel of land is just one portion of that revitalization concept.
According to the documents, the sale is expected to close escrow on June 30. “This is a great opportunity,” Mayor Pro Tem Vicki Hunt said. “This is a huge investment in Old Town. We’ve been working for many years on this, on assembling property, and this is just another really huge key piece that will help us add to our inventory so that when we’re ready to grow up out of the ground we’ll have that space to do it.”

PUSD deputy superintendent retires after 38 years of service BY KATIE SAWYER Peoria Times Staff Writer
Steve Savoy walked up wearing a button up, glasses and a casual grin. “Sorry I’m late,” he said. “A pipe burst at Oakwood Elementary late last night.” This is just a glimpse into the kinds of issues that arise for Savoy each day as deputy superintendent of Peoria Unified School District. But Savoy has been taking it in his stride since he secured the position. Not for much longer, though, as he will retire from PUSD in June after a 38-year career with the district. Savoy is originally from Boston, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in political science and criminal justice at Salem State University. After receiving his degree, he went on a month-long road trip with his college roommates to California. It was then that he found Phoenix. “It was fun. We spent about a month on the road and we came through Phoenix actually on our way out west,” Savoy said. “I’d never experienced the desert before — Spanish architecture and different food. I just really loved it out here.” After wrapping up his time in California, Savoy knew where he was headed next. He got his start in PUSD in 1981 as a substitute teacher for Desert Palms Elementary, where he was offered a contract. “I walked into a sixth-grade class as a substitute teacher and knew within 30 seconds that this is what I was meant to do for my entire life,” Savoy said. Savoy had originally planned to attend law school after college, but found teaching and never stopped. He still calls it his “best decision ever.” He taught for 11 years in the Peoria district, moving from Desert Palms to Sundance and Pioneer elementaries, specializing in junior high. “I spent most of my time at Sundance — always junior high. I love seventh- and eighth-grade kids,” Savoy said. During this time he received his master’s from NAU in education and leadership, after which he moved on from teaching and became the assistant principal and subsequently principal of Desert Valley Elementary over the span of nine years. He made his way over to Alta Loma Elementary as principal for another four years before officially signing on to the PUSD office, where he has stayed for the last 15 years. Savoy may not be a native to Arizona, but he has created his roots here through his dedication to family and work. He and his wife, Carol, met in 1988 and decid-
ed to blend their families. Savoy now has five children and 12 grandchildren, all of whom are either PUSD alumni or current PUSD students. “One granddaughter is graduating from Liberty this year,” Savoy said proudly. “We’re excited for her. She wants to be a firefighter. She does really good as a student.” Savoy started out in the district office as a K-12 administrator, learning the ropes of the position. “That’s where you kind of cut your teeth and you learn,” he said. “It’s a lot of fun. It’s a lot of challenges and a lot of rewards.” Savoy was then promoted to chief of operations and finally deputy superintendent. Running an entire district can’t be easy, let alone the third largest in the state, but Savoy said his team is what makes the job run smoothly. “There’s a lot of components that make it all run, and you need that support from so many people to make it be successful every day,” Savoy said. “That’s the challenges of this job, but it’s also incredibly exciting. I love it. I absolutely love it.” PUSD remains the largest employer of Peoria. Savoy said this year the district has more than 4,000 employees. But he has witnessed a lot of changes to PUSD from when he started 38 years ago. “When I came to the district there were six elementary schools and two high schools: Peoria and Cactus high school. That was a big rivalry,” Savoy said. “Today, we have 33 elementary schools, seven comprehensive high schools and one flex academy.” Savoy said PUSD now has over 37,000 students enrolled, compared to what he estimates as 4,000 to 6,000 when he began his career. Though some things do change, others remain the same. Cactus and Peoria would sooner freeze over than abandon their decades-old rivalry, for instance. The most impactful growth of PUSD for Savoy has been the introduction of career and technical education in schools. These programs can help students complete intensive, career-based coursework and earn industry certification before they graduate, which can make them immediately employable. Examples of this include culinary, early childhood education and nursing programs available on school campuses. “The growth of career and technical education has really provided all sorts of opportunities for our students to be college and career ready. It gives students the opportunity to explore all different avenues

before they graduate in a lot of different arenas,” Savoy said. School is meant for more than just securing a good future, though. It’s also a place for students to grow socially amongst their peers. Savoy recognizes this as a pivotal part of PUSD’s goals. “We know that the more we get students involved in school the more they’ll be successful. School is a good place for kids to be; it’s a good, safe place. They make a lot of friends; they learn about life,” Savoy said. “We’ve always been a district that’s focused on the whole child.” For Savoy, his favorite interactions with
students are his own former students, who often approach him to share anecdotes from his teaching career, asking him, “Do you remember when…?” and he is immediately taken back in time. It’s a defining moment for him. These days, as he nears his retirement, however, some of those anecdotes leave him surprised at the longevity of his own career. “Now I have kids who tell me about their mother or their grandmother and it’s like, ‘Whoa!’” he said with a laugh.

Police searching for aggravated assault suspect BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Peoria police are seeking the public’s help in identifying a man who shot someone during an altercation in late April. Police described the suspect as being a shorter white man. He was wearing a uniform-style outfit. He was driving a silver Honda Accord. Video surveillance also led police to believe he was wearing a black shirt, jeans and some sort of apron. According to officers, the incident occurred near 75th Avenue and West Cactus Road around 11 p.m. April 29. The victim and suspect reportedly got into an argument at a local business. The victim left in his vehicle, but the suspect followed in a separate vehicle, and the two continued to argue. Police said while driving the suspect shot the victim’s vehicle, which passed through and struck him in the leg. The suspect fled. The incident is being considered an

SAVOY FROM PAGE 9
With the culmination of so many years of hard work fast approaching, and an obvious love of the position he held, is there anything he won’t miss? “The phone calls that come in at all hours of the night and the weekends — usually a concern that came up with a school somewhere. Those, I won’t miss,” he said. He has had his fair share of the wild and weird at PUSD, even more so than the occasional flood or fire alarm. No, the most memorable for him are from seniors determined to make a lasting impression on their school via an old American tradition: senior pranks. “Some of the senior pranks over the years have been pretty funny, but we won’t put that in there because that’ll give them ideas,” he said with a laugh. When his career finally ends on June 1 of this year, he’ll be taking a much-needed break. He plans to visit Europe for the first time with his wife in September, when the two will travel to Spain, Italy, Croatia and the French coast. “I’m just going to be me, take a break, recharge. I’m going to do a lot of traveling, so I’m looking forward to that. It’s a new chapter,” he said. Savoy isn’t leaving PUSD without giv-
May 16, 2019 ing some final advice, though. When he looks to the future, Savoy hopes to see public education continue to survive and thrive in the Peoria community. Though only 30% of Peoria homes send their children to PUSD, 100% of those living in the district are the ones supporting their neighborhood schools. “The democratic ideals of our nation, the United States of America … is that we all support an educational opportunity for every child,” Savoy said. Above all else, Savoy believes in the power of the Peoria community to protect and maintain good public education. “If you access that education, if you make it the best opportunity, you can do anything you want in your life,” Savoy said. “There is nothing you cannot do. That’s why every family has an opportunity for economic, cultural and social success, because if the family sits down and says, ‘Education is a priority in our home’ … 100% guarantee that student will be successful. There’s other kids that are successful in spite of not having any of that support. “That’s the great story of America, that’s the story of the American dream and that story is told every day to the 37,000 kids in our district.”

Just days before Easter, the West Valley first responder community was rocked by the severe injuries sustained by four Peoria firefighters — Capt. Hunter Clare, Engineer Justin Lopez and firefighters Matt Cottini and Jake Ciulla — in an explosion at an APS substation in Surprise. That impact culminated with a charity benefit held at CrossFit Unwavering in El Mirage on May 11. Put together by Buckeye firefighter Haley Haltmar, the event donated all proceeds to Peoria Firefighters Charities. Firefighters and other people from around the Valley were welcome to donate $20 and participate in 10-minute, firefighter skill-inspired workouts donning full SCBA (self-contained breathing apparatus) gear. The “course” included box step ups, sledgehammer hits and a hose drag. 1. A Sun City fire truck is parked outside the CrossFit Unwavering in El Mirage. 2.

Tucson case shows nonsensical immigration policy BY DAVID LEBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist
It’s been 24 years since I moved to Arizona and nothing much has changed about immigration politics in all that time. The sad, strange case of 18-yearold Thomas Torres-Maytorena proves as much. Thomas, a senior at Desert View High School in Tucson, is said to be virtually everything we look for in a teenager today: A student with graduation robes hanging in his closet for a May 22 diploma ceremony. A cornerback on the Jaguars football team who bussed tables and did yard work to earn cash. A young man with dreams of becoming an electrical engineer. A teen described by his friends to reporters as hard working, down to earth and kind.
These are all qualities which typically generate zero news coverage, but for the fact that Torres-Maytorena is in the United States illegally, brought to Arizona as a toddler by his family. With his kin gone back to Mexico, the 18-year-old currently lives in Tucson with the family of his closest buddy. It’s an arrangement that made national headlines last week after Pima County Sheriff’s deputies pulled over Torres-Maytorena and two friends on the night of May 2 for driving in a vehicle with suspended insurance. The deputy asked Torres-Maytorena for his driver’s license and ID, according to police. This the teen could not provide. Questioning ensued. Torres-Maytorena ultimately “admitted to the deputy that he was in the country illegally,” according to a Pima Sheriff’s press release. “It was at this point Border Patrol was contacted.

Border Patrol proceeded to take custody of Torres-Maytorena.” Torres-Maytorena spent the next five days in an Immmigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Casa Grande. On May 6, his Desert View classmates staged a walk out on his behalf, trudging four miles from the school to the sheriff’s office in a protest covered across Arizona and in the New York Times. Late on May 7, ICE released Thomas, but not before putting him into deportation proceedings. “An immigration judge with the Department of Justice Executive Office for Immigration Review will determine if Mr. Torres-Maytorena has legal basis to remain in the United States,” an ICE spokeswoman explained. All of which leaves me grappling with the same question I’ve been asking for nearly a quarter century whenever the subject of illegal immigration arises. Is Thomas Torres-Maytorena really the sort of human being we want to spend our limited law enforcement and judicial resources deporting? A teenager for whom Mexico has never been much of a home? A hard-working kid whose most serious crime appears to be overstaying his visa to avoid going back to the Third

World? It’s the same question I asked myself back in the mid-1990s, when I trekked to the Arizona-Mexico border for the first time, meeting people walking north who looked starved of everything from food to opportunity. It’s the same question I asked in 1999 and 2000, when we spent months debating the fate of a little Cuban 5-year-old named Elian Gonzalez, who the feds ultimately deported after seizing at gunpoint from his American relatives. In 2010, Arizona passed Senate Bill 1070 and we debated the same question. Nowadays, the same question comes up whenever President Trump boasts about his “big, beautiful wall.” My answer? It’s simple. The only smart immigration solution is one that draws a bright line between deporting real criminals and real threats versus arresting and deporting 18-year-olds like Thomas Torres-Maytorena. That young man is not the problem. The problem is that we have spent the better part of the past 25 years chattering, bickering and twiddling our thumbs, meanwhile doing next to nothing to protect this country or to grant a teenage boy his chance at the American Dream.

The Social on 83rd brings new flavors to Peoria BY SHOSHANA LEON Peoria Times Contributing Writer
Since The Social on 83rd opened near 83rd Avenue and Bell Road in December, it has received rave reviews for its delicious food, craft cocktails and stylish setting. “We built The Social on 83rd to give the local community a chef-driven concept that was clean and modern,” said Joey Lucidi of Westside Concepts, which owns The Social on 83rd and Haymaker, a restaurant with locations in Peoria and Goodyear. “Pairing a chef-driven menu with an amazing bar with craft cocktails and a gorgeous patio separates us from other restaurants in the area. Guests can expect a trendy-but-relaxed environment. We make everything from scratch and follow current food trends. Whether you are making it a date night, a girl’s night out or a Sunday Funday, this is the place to be.” Lucidi knows a thing or two about hospitality. He grew up in his parents’ restaurants and has more than 20 years of experience in the industry. At The Social on 83rd, the menu

Spots to celebrate nature abound in West Valley BY SARAH INAFUKU Peoria Times Contributing Writer
Looking for some hot hiking spots while the weather is still bearable in Arizona? Here are four of the best places for outdoor adventures in the West Valley:
Hike Estrella Mountain Regional Park in Goodyear Estrella Park, with more than 33 miles of multiuse trails, became the first regional park in the Maricopa County park system and has some
of the nicest views in the Valley. The Baseline trail is a great 2.6-mile loop for those casual hikers looking to get outside without breaking too much of a sweat. Feel free to bring a dog along for the fun; just make sure to keep him or her on a leash.
Bird watch in Thunderbird Conservation Park in Glendale There are more than 50 wildlife species that call the 1,185-acre park home. Four viewing blinds are easily accessible and provide a great, peaceful set-
ting to see all the incredible birds that the park has to offer. It makes for a nice day of relaxing and enjoying some quality time outdoors.
Mountain bike in White Tank Mountain Regional Park in Surprise The 6.5-mile competitive track in the White Tanks is not for the faint of heart, but those seeking some challenge and a thrill can grab a helmet and go. The White Tank Mountain Regional Park is the largest in the county, with nearly 30,000 acres of rugged terrain with trails that can be hiked or biked by all skill levels.
Paddleboard on Lake Pleasant in Peoria Lake Pleasant is home to many great recreational activities, including paddleboarding. With more than 10,000 acres of space to discover, Lake Pleasant makes for a great escape from the desert sun. Whether doing one or all of the above, remember to bring water and apply sunscreen. Sarah Inafuku is the head of Ottawa University Arizona’s outdoor adventure club in Surprise.

Mountainside offering free summer child care BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF
Summer can be difficult for parents in some ways. A time when youngsters are out of school, it can leave parents without a means to supervise their children if they have work or other obligations. So, Mountainside Fitness is offering free child care this summer. But there’s catch. It’s for new members who sign up before May 31. These members will receive free child care through August 31. New members who do not have children can opt to receive a $25 gift card instead. Mountainside Fitness offers certified child care at 16 locations throughout metro Phoenix. “On-site interactive child care is something we provide to our members so parents can work out and not have to worry about child care logistics. That is especially true during the summer when kids are
out of school,” said Tom Hatten, founder and owner of Mountainside Fitness. Mountainside Fitness has dedicated child care spaces at its centers. The areas include bounce houses, gaming areas, basketball courts and small theaters. They have dedicated, certified staff as well as children’s exercise classes. “Our child care areas are fun places for kids to enjoy while their parents enjoy our fitness centers,” Hatten said. Mountainside Fitness has locations in Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Glendale, Peoria, Mesa, Queen Creek, Surprise and Chandler. The only location without child care is the Executive Club in Scottsdale. The Peoria location is at 9745 W. Happy Valley Road. It is open 4:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 4:30 to 9 p.m. Fridays, and 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Wildlife World Zoo named best zoo in Arizona
BY ANDREA ESTRADA
Peoria Times Contributing Writer
Mickey Ollson, owner and director of Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park, remembers collecting jokes out of Reader’s Digest and telling them aloud in a public speaking class he took in college in the early ‘60s. At the time, though, he never imagined he would go on to open his own zoo in 1984 — let alone that it would be recognized by that very same widely-distributed magazine. In April, Reader’s Digest issued a list called “The Best Zoo in Every State in America,” and Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park was named the best zoo in the state of Arizona. Ollson said such recognition speaks to the hard work and dedication of his staff. “It’s easy to have a vision and to want to do something. But if you’re really going to be successful, you have to have good people that help you,” he said. “I’ve had people that have put down their
roots here, and they’ve really taken it upon themselves to make the zoo very best it can be.” Thirty five years ago, the zoo sat on 30 acres, displayed less than 100 species, was operated by a staff of six, and had a picnic table with a sheet over it for furniture. Today, the zoo spans 150 acres, exhibits more than 600 different species and 6,000 animals, employs 115 people in the springtime, houses an Adventure Land with rides, boasts an interactive sea lion exhibit and features five restaurants and cafés: Dillon’s Restaurant, Skyride Cafe, Safari Grill, Congo Cooker and Zooberto’s. The growth of the zoo, which has never received or used taxpayer funding, is attributed to its entrepreneurism, Ollson said. “We’ve been very strong about investing back into the zoo. The profits from the zoo are put back into it to better things for the visitors; to better things for the animals; to better things for our employees; to enlarge the zoo; to build new exhibits and to increase the animal collection,” he said.
And that entrepreneurism made way for activities that are unique to the zoo — including the Giraffe Feeding Station and Lory Parrot Feeding, which Ollson said Wildlife World opened before any other zoo — and exhibits like the Baby Animal Nursery and Dragon World, which Reader’s Digest highlighted as must-see attractions. Ollson said baby animals end up in the nursery because sometimes the mother does not take care of them, for a number of reasons, or simply because they’re better off being hand raised. “We are really pleased with the fact that we’ve been able to raise multiple generations of some very rare animals by hand in our animal nursery,” he said. And the zoo’s rare, endangered animals — like Arabian oryx from North Africa, which were down to 13 individual animals in the ‘60s, and albino alligators, which are down to less than 100 — are bred on site through a species survival program that is made up of a consortium of zoos that control the

animal gene pool. “We’ve become very good at breeding animals. We’re no longer taking animals out of the wild. We are now producers of animals,” Ollson said. Ollson, who has not only watched his zoo grow throughout the years but has witnessed cutting-edge advancements in the “zoo world,” said the genuine love for animals is the drive for all of it. “In this business, nobody gets rich. You’re not working because it’s a good paycheck or a nice salary. You’re working because you love animals, and it’s what you’ve always wanted to do,” he said. While being recognized by a national publication like Reader’s Digest is an absolute honor, Ollson said he values the compliments he receives from everyday people just as much. “The compliments from people like us; those are just as important,” he said. “It verifies what my staff has been doing here and what we’ve done here for the last 35 years is appreciated, and that we’re doing some things right.”

Wildlife World helping sustain biodiversity Despite volumes of data currently available on mankind, it is surprising how little is known about other species. A paper published recently in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) — using data recorded by Wildlife World Zoo in collaboration with other zoos and aquariums worldwide — confirms critical information, such as fertility and survival rates, is missing from global data for more than 98% of known species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. That changed when researchers added data from a previously untapped source: the Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS). Across classes of species, key blanks fill with salient data.

data that has been long overlooked — using data contributed by Wildlife World Zoo and other zoos and aquariums around the world. The team of 33 scientists including data analysts, biologists, and population dynamics specialists developed the first Species Knowledge Index to map just how much is known about species worldwide. The index aggregates, analyzes and maps data from 22 databases and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. “Wildlife World has added data on 10,361 birds, reptiles, amphibians and mammals of 840 species, making a huge impact on the understanding of those species’ life histories,” said Mickey Ollson, director of Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park. “Providing that missing data — filling in those gaps — is game-changing for these species.”
African lions, warthogs, jackals born at zoo BY WEST VALLEY VIEW STAFF Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park has announced the birth of three African lion cubs, two baby warthogs and a litter of jackals. The babies are receiving around-the-clock care by Wildlife World’s expert hand raising and veterinarian team. The lion cubs receive bottles of
formula several times a day and are weighed daily. Over the next few weeks, they will begin the transition to include meat in their diet. As one of the most recognizable animal symbols in the world, African lions were accurately the “King of the Jungle.” However, they are now listed as vulnerable by the IUCN due to habitat loss and pursuit in unprotected areas. The population
is believed to have fallen by up to 50% in the last 50 to 60 years. Habitat loss and degradation along with increased poaching remain the biggest threats to these feline’s survival. Wildlife World strives to maximize genetic diversity in the zoological population with its breeding programs. With more than 600 species and 6,000 animals on display,
there are always new arrivals at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park. Other babies on display include Jr., the sea lion pup; a colobus monkey; spider monkey; twin red-handed tamarins; several hoofed animal species like baby goats in the petting zoo; and other youngsters throughout the 100-acre park.
As a USDA-licensed, private institution accredited by the Zoological Association of America and the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums, Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park receives zero taxpayer funding. No tax dollars have ever been spent to build or operate Wildlife World in its 35-year history. Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park is located at 16501 W. Northern Avenue, Litchfield Park, at the southeast corner of State Route 303 and Northern Avenue. It is open seven days a week, 365 days a year, including all holidays. Zoo exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Last zoo admission is at 4:30 p.m.) Aquarium exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission includes access to the zoo, aquarium and safari park.

Dutch Bros raises money for injured Peoria firefighters BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Two days before Easter, four Peoria firefighters — Capt.

In the days following, the first responder community rallied in support of the four Peoria men. And part of that rallying cry came from Dutch Bros, which on April 25 raised $10,000 for Peoria Firefighters Charities, a combination of organizations that help local firefighters in need and will be key in supporting the local firefighters who were injured. “Our firefighters risk so much to keep us all safe,” said Caleb Berkey, owner of Dutch Bros Peoria. “We feel honored to join our community in raising funds for the PFC’s, and we are keeping the three (sic) firefighters that were injured last week in our thoughts.” Both Dutch Bros Peoria locations donated $1 from each drink sold, in addition to making buckets available for customers wishing to make addi-

Peoria home cook competing for top prize

Featuring locally grown watermelons sweet corn green chiles onions & squash.
Peoria Times Executive Editor
For Peoria home cook Greg Buerger, winning World Food Championships’ Final Table Challenge would be the frosting on the cake. Buerger won the 2018 World Dessert Championship last fall. Now he’s participating in three Cajun-themed throwdowns for a shot at the seven annual World Food Champion title and a $100,000 prize. The private event with nine other category champions is Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19, at the New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute, known locally as NOCHI. The showdown will be filmed for a one-hour television program that will air this August on CNBC. Buerger credited his wife and family for encouraging him to start participating in competitive cooking over 10 years ago. With a few State Fair Championships under his belt and experience helping his wife in the 2013 Bacon World Championship, Buerger stepped up to the food sport plate. “Our family started competing in various culinary competitions for fun, when, eventually, we decided to make WFC a family affair,” Buerger said. Since then, the family has put its culinary skills to the test in WFC categories such as recipe and bacon, but soon discovered dessert was its sweet spot. Last year, this Peoria cook barely missed claiming the World Dessert Champion title with a second-place finish. However, even with this food sport experience and success, Buerger did not expect his 2018 category win. “I knew the tough level of competition I was up against,” Buerger said. “It blew me away when they announced I was the new champion.” WFC’s Final Table event will feature three rounds of competition, narrowing down the field from 10 competitors until one cook remains and is crowned the seventh annual World Food Champion.

Centennial finishes second in 5A softball BY ERIC NEWMAN Peoria Times Staff Writer
Centennial softball fell just short of a state title, losing 5-2 to Ironwood Ridge in the 2019 AIA Softball 5A State Championship game in Tempe. Untimely errors set the Coyotes back
But, Ironwood Ridge’s bats got hot in the seventh and final inning. Centennial allowed three runs on a series of quality base hits but could not make up the deficit in the bottom of the inning, so the game was decided. “I made myself stand there and watch the last outs,” Centennial coach
if we were patient and continued to grind away,” Kaye said after the semifinal round. Just weeks before, the Coyotes lost a pair of games to rival Sunrise Mountain after being ranked the top team in 5A, scoring just three combined runs in two contests.
on the two-game series with a city rival as both a turning point in the year and a teaching moment that inspired the Coyotes during difficult situations during the playoffs. “It definitely motivated us. From those games we went to practice and worked harder,” she said of the team’s

early, giving up a run and the lead in the first inning. A solo homer in the third gave Ironwood Ridge a 2-0 lead, while Centennial did not register a hit through three innings. The Coyotes strung a few hits together, tied the game at 2-2 and seemingly had all the momentum.

Randy Kaye said. “I needed to feel the sting a little bit, because that’s how you bounce back from it.” Bouncing back has been the identity of this team all season, though. Despite being ranked at or near the top of the state all season, the road to the championship game was a rocky one. The Coyotes lost their first semifinal game, 2-0, to Empire on May 11, and faced a deciding contest against the same squad 30 minutes later with a trip to the title game on the line. Including the first game, Centennial went a combined nine innings without scoring a run, but the bats heated up midway through the second game of the day and the Coyotes won 10-0 in the sixth inning by mercy rule. “I think we made a lot of mistakes that we normally don’t make. I felt our pitching was going to keep us in it, and our lineup is too good to be held down that long. We knew we would get there
Following those losses — the only games Centennial dropped in the regular season against in-conference opponents — the girls had a concrete example of what heartbreak felt like. As sophomore Meghan Golden pitched a shutout in her four innings in the winner-take-all semifinal, she reflected

mindset after losing to the Mustangs. “We had a talk after the first game here (against Empire), and knew it was just one game and we could come back because we’ve faced tough situations already this year.” Some tears were shed following the final loss, especially by Centennial’s seniors. However, the runner-up finish is the furthest Centennial softball has reached in postseason play since losing in the championship game in 2010. A tough ending, Kaye hopes, will motivate the returning girls even more in the offseason and next year. But, second place in the state after nearly a decade of not reaching that point is something to be proud of, too. “Getting to this game is an accomplishment,” Kaye said. “It had been a while since Centennial was competing at this level. The interest in softball is here now, and I’m really excited to see what is next for this team.”

Getting out when you find yourself in a rut Two frogs were hopping in a rut in the middle of a road. One frog got tired of being in a rut and jumped out. The liberated frog encouraged his friend to do the same. However, the other frog had learned to tolerate rut life. He felt the walls were too high for him to jump out. Suddenly, a big truck came toward him. The truck’s tire was in the same rut the forlorn frog. The frog had an “a-ha” moment. Gathering his resolve and strength, the frog easily jumped out of the rut. Lesson: Nothing will get you out of a rut quicker than a big, big reason to get out. The problem was not that the frog couldn’t or shouldn’t jump out of the rut. The problem was the frog wouldn’t jump out of the rut. Having been a pastor for many years, I have noticed two types of causes that get us humans into ruts. The first cause comes from mistakes we have made in the past. It was our fault or bad decision we made, and we know it. We feel remorse, hurt, embarrassment, shame, guilt and the like for the hurt that we have caused others by our actions. As a result, we get stuck in the
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Columnist
rut of the “woulda…shoulda… couldas.” We spend our lives wishing we could go back in the past, change what we did or said, and go on from there. We want a redo! This is good because it means we have accepted our responsibility in creating the mess. But the downside is we tend to keep internally beating ourselves up for what we did, seemingly forever. The second cause of how we get into ruts comes from what people or institutions have done to us. We feel we are the victim and perhaps we are. But note when we get stuck in the rut of victimization, we tend to stay there for a long time. We blame, we justify, we act out, we lose control and we lose hope. We get angry or depressed about what happened to us. We nurture our hurt or betrayal again and again. The problem is victims become self-fulfilling prophecies. Many

with the victim complex don’t get better; they get bitter. They get stuck. Some even get run over by the truck. Note: you can’t get ahead of someone if you’re trying to get even with them. God doesn’t want us to just cope. God wants us to overcome. How? By applying His grace to our situation. God says His word: “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28. “All things” means “all things.” That includes our failures, our trespasses, our backsliding, our shame, our blame, our past, the hurts done to us by others, everything. God takes everything wrong that was done to us and everything that we have done wrong to others and redeems it. What was intended for evil, God uses for our good and the good of others. Jesus told us this in the Lord’s prayer: “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us.” What hurts us is not the sin against us. What hurts is the anger, shame, pity, bitterness or betrayal we feel. God deals with the sin part
of the hurt first. God forgives us for what we have done to others as well as what others have done to us. Then God heals the emotional hurt causing us to relive our hurt, ad infinitum. Here’s some advice on ruts. Find a purpose in what happened to you. The worst thing that has happened to you may become your life ministry or cause. God’s grace applied to your life not only touches you for good, but now through you, on a reverse course, God’s amazing grace goes and touches everyone for good who hurt you…or who you hurt. By receiving God’s grace and allowing everything that has happened to us to work for our good and God’s purposes, we close the gates of hell and open the gates of heaven, freeing us and those who hurt us. When you do this, you will discover you just jumped out of the rut. I knew you could.

‘The Addams Family’ musical coming to Arizona Broadway Theatre BY CARRIE SNIDER
Peoria Times Contributing Writer
America’s favorite bizarrely macabre yet loveable family is back, this time singing on stage. In the musical comedy “The Addams Family,” gothic daughter Wednesday has fallen in love with a “normal” young man. She requests that her parents, Gomez and Morticia, host her fiancé and his parents for dinner on one condition — that they act normal. But anyone who knows the Addams family knows acting normal is out of their realm. “The Addams Family” runs Friday, June 7, through Saturday, July 6, at the Arizona Broadway Theatre. Matinees on Saturdays, Sundays and select Thursdays will feature a dinner at noon, with curtain time set for 2 p.m. For evening performances Tuesdays through Sundays, dinner seating is at 5:30 p.m., while the show starts at 7:30 p.m. In the performance, Brad York will play the part of Gomez. He said being cast in the role must have been fate, as many people tell him he reminds them of Nathan Lane, who played the family patriarch on Broadway. York will share the role with ABT alum Matthew John Mello, who was recently seen as J. Bruce Ismay in “Titanic” in 2018. York, who is also the director of marketing for ABT, has a long history with the organization. “I’ve been associated with the theatre since it was a sketch on a napkin,” he said. Once living in New York, he made his way to Phoenix in 2010. Since then, he has enjoyed watching the local talent showcased on stage. And though he has been in several ABT productions, “The Addams Family” will be his first time on stage in quite some time. Opposite York will be Renee Kathleen Koher, who plays Morticia. Koher recently played the

Brad York will play Gomez Addams.

role of Mary Poppins in 2018. “She is so good at what she does,” York said. York also commented that it’s also been fun working with local young talent, like Jasmine Bassham, who will play Wednesday. Also in the show are Corban Adams and Aaron McCaskill, who will alternate as Pugsley; Lionel “Lonnie” Ruland as Uncle Fester; and Barbara McBain as Grandma. The part of Alice Beineke will be played by Lynzee Foreman; Lucas Beineke by Nick Williams; and Mal Beineke by Mark Woodard. The ensemble also includes Kiara Adams, Danny Durr, Liz Fallon, Nick Kuhn, Kristina Leopold, Alexia Lorch, Cesar Razza, Samantha Ross, Jake Sokoloff and Brody Wurr. Andrew Lippa wrote the music and lyrics, for which he was nominated for a Tony for Best Original Score. “The Addams Family” originally appeared as a cartoon by Charles Addams. It was later adapted to animated cartoons, a TV series and two live action movies. It hit Broadway in 2010, closing after 22 months, after which it toured. But local actors will comprise the cast at ABT. ABT, Arizona’s one-of-a-kind professional theatre, showcases locally and nationally acclaimed artists and provides sit-down table service prepared fresh. ABT is located south of West Bell Road off Loop 101, in the P83 district east of the Peoria Sports Complex. Parking is free. For individual performance date information, contact the ABT Box Office at 623-776-8400 x0. For tickets, visit azbroadway. org or call the box office at 623776-8400. Following its completion at ABT, “The Addams Family” will also run at the Herberger Theater Center.

Flotsam and Jetsam kickstarts the chaos
Phoenix-based Flotsam and Jetsam — from left Ken Mary, Michael Gilbert, Michael Spencer, Eric “A.K.” Knutson and Steve Conley — will perform at Club Red in Mesa on Saturday, June 15. (Photo by Silvy Maatman)
BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor
Flotsam and Jetsam have performed around the world, but nothing feels like a hometown show. “We always get a warm welcome when we return to the Valley,” said guitarist Michael Gilbert of Chandler. “We always try to make our last shows of our tours our hometown shows. It’s the big release. There’s always tons of energy. It’s great. It’s hard to explain the energy that’s there.” Flotsam and Jetsam have, for the most part, stuck around the Valley. Vocalist Eric “A.K.” Knutson lives in Gilbert; guitarist Steve Conley in Glendale; and new drummer Ken Mary in Fountain Hills. Bassist Michael Spencer resides in Sacramento. The band will perform at Club Red in Mesa to promote its latest album, “The End of Chaos,” for which the band wrote “a ton of songs.” “We each wrote 25 songs a piece,” Gilbert said. “A.K. picks and chooses the songs and a lot of them get tossed to the side. It’s all good, though. We get the best possible songs we can out of it.” The formula has worked. Flotsam and Jetsam are witnessing a revival of sorts, as the band is seeing old school fans revisiting its music. “We’re making a bit of a comeback,”
Gilbert said. “They’re starting to revisit and buy the new stuff as well. We’re seeing a lot of younger people at the show. They’re in the front row, singing songs that were out 20 years before they were born. “It gets us all excited. That was happening when we did the self-titled album. There’s this spark again. The power metal music fans are digging A.K.’s voice.” After its U.S. tour, Flotsam and Jetsam — whose alumni include former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted — have three short European runs. “What sucks is flying back and forth, but it’s totally worth it,” Gilbert said. “As tired as we are when we get there, when we see 4,000 people or more than that — sometimes up to 80,000 — it wakes you up really quick.” Longtime musician Gilbert moved from California to the Valley when he was 15 years old. He knows the exact year. “I base everything on when records came out,” he said with a laugh. “I moved when ‘For Those About to Rock’ came out — ’81.” The Dobson High School graduate recalled, too, when he realized he wanted to be a musician. Again, an AC/DC
reference: the first time he heard “The Jack.” “I had headphones on and I said, ‘OK. I’m going to play guitar. I’m going to learn how to do this,’” he said. “My mom bought me a guitar for $20 at Kmart. I still have it. It’s not that bad of a guitar. I learned on that. “That’s when my parents knew I was serious about it. I’ve been collecting guitars since then. I can’t have enough. I have around 20, but I can only play one at a time, unless I’m Rick Nielsen (of Cheap Trick).” When he’s home, Gilbert said he enjoys going to Diamondbacks games and eating at Los Dos Molinos in Mesa. “If you like super spicy Mexican food, that is the place to go,” he said. “Plus, they have great margaritas.” Chaos reborn The five-piece band was founded in the early 1980s and critics have called 1986’s “Doomsday for the Deceiver” a “game changer.” English rock magazine Kerrang! gave it a 6K rating; its sixth and only accolade of that nature. After the debut was released, Newsted joined Metallica. The musical landscape changed, but Flotsam and Jetsam’s mission stayed the same. “A.K.’s vocals are what makes our
band and who we are,” Gilbert said. “He’s very unique, there is nobody else like him. He’s a fantastic singer. But the dude gets better and better.” “The End of Chaos” has 12 songs and clocks in at around 50 minutes, kicking off with “Prisoner of Time.” Knutson screams the signature line, “Live your life without regret; don’t be a prisoner of time.” The singer summed up Flotsam and Jetsam’s career perfectly. “We’ve been through a lot of crap,” he said. “For a while I had a lineup with me who was just together to go out on vacations then have the promoters pay for it. And it’s a little different now. We are back to a real band making a stab at growing and becoming a bigger entity in the music industry. Our goal in writing a record is to put out the coolest music we can. ‘The End of Chaos’ hits the mark.” Flotsam and Jetsam w/Dead by Wednesday, Footer, Condemned Till Dawn and Black Phantom When: 6 p.m. Saturday, June 15 Where: Club Red, 1306 W.

Peoria ‘Idol’ alum wants to release empowering music BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor
Callie Young has a presence about her. The thin, blonde “American Idol” alum from Peoria is confident and ambitious. Her producer, Halen Bouhadana of Electric Sound Music in Arcadia, saw that in Young and agreed to work with her. “She’s fantastic,” said Bouhadana, who also serves as her guitarist. “She’s just very cute, young, small girl with such a big voice and a tremendous talent. She’s not like a ‘pop star.’ She’s someone who’s very diverse in taste and the direction of her music. She’s awesome to collaborate with.” Bouhadana and the ASU student are preparing to release singles and videos, the first of which is “Therapy,” this summer. It is the follow-up to “Backup Plan” and “Ruin My Life,” both of which are streaming on Apple Music and Spotify. She called her music “a youthful, alternative, lyrically driven twist on modern radio-friendly pop music.” “I want to get bigger and better opening slots,” Young said. “I’d love to open for Yungblud. He’s doing a lot for rock/ pop/alternative music. That would be awesome. Carly Rae Jepsen is about to put out an album that’s going to be awesome. Overall, if I could open for one person, it would be Shawn Mendes. I love everything about Shawn Mendes. He’s leading the way for a lot of other pop musicians.” Fans can hear a selection of her original tracks when she opens for the Vancouver-bred duo Bob Moses at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 18, at Tempe Marketplace. She is slated to sing the national anthem at the All-American Festival at the Peoria Sports Complex on July 4 just before the fireworks. “I think songwriting has become a really big part of who I am as a musician,” Young said. “Songwriting keeps me moving forward.” Hometown hero Raised in Peoria by a single mother, Young has been singing since she was a little girl who looked up to Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato and Katy Perry, the latter of whom she met on “Idol.” “I was really inspired by their confidence and love for music,” she said. Young said her mom teases her about being musically inclined. After all, her
mom frequented concerts when she was pregnant. “She loves music more than anything,” Young said. “My grandma helped a lot with raising me. When I was younger, she would play ’50s music. “My mom used to be into country. We listened to a lot of country and I think that’s why I appreciate songwriting so much. It’s so huge in country. I was listening to Taylor Swift, the Dixie Chicks, Miranda Lambert, all the females in country. As I got a little older, and my mom listened to more pop-rock, I really turned to classic rock like Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin. Stevie Nicks paved the way for a lot of women in pop.” Young made her public debut when she sang the national anthem for the Diamondbacks when she was 10. “I did it for fun,” Young said with a laugh. “It’s what made me fall in love with performing — even though that performance was bad. I’m so embarrassed when people see it on YouTube.” Young attended Centennial High School in Peoria until her junior year, when she left to study with Primavera Online, from which she graduated in December. Traveling with “American Idol,” online schooling was easier. She competed on “The Voice” and “American Idol” with fellow Arizonan Wade Cota, who made it to the final five on this year’s show. Young enjoyed her time on “Idol,” and counts fellow competitor Laci Kaye Booth among her friends. “She is one of the sweetest humans ever,” she said. “Shelton Taylor, he was great. I’ve known Wade since I was 12 or 13. We did singing competitions together all around the Valley. I’m super proud of him.” She was proud to meet Perry as well. “Katy Perry has a special place in my heart,” Young said. “I love female musicians. She’s super sweet, hilarious and gorgeous in person. She definitely owns a room.” The 18-year-old was cut during Hollywood Week on “Idol.” Out of 150 contestants, she was one of 33 minors. Young said she had it easier than others because she traveled and roomed with her mother, Stacy. “She helped me with contracts,” she said. “It was nice because it was someone I knew. I didn’t have to room with other contestants. All the minors stuck together and formed friendships.”

Young is pleased with the final three — Laine Hardy, Madison VanDenberg and Alejandro Aranda. (But really wishes Cota was there.) “Laine is awesome,” she said. “He’s adorable and a really good performer. Madison has really good performance etiquette. She’s only 17. Alejandro is just an artist. ‘American Idol’ doesn’t have too many artists.” Young has made her way around the Valley. Besides the July 4 event, she has performed the national anthem for Spring Training and Coyotes games. She counts Clayton Keller among her favorite hockey players. “I always sing the national anthem for the Coyotes,” she said. “It’s such a great organization.” She has been working with Bouhadana for a few months, but already they’ve inspired each other. He writes tracks for her, but sometimes she writes
songs on an acoustic guitar. “The songs that are closer to my heart are the ones I write myself,” she said. “I write a lot about love. I have a song called ‘Hit List’ about being a female in the music industry. I want men to know what we go through as musicians. “I want my music to be empowering, while I’m staying true to myself. I’m brutally honest in all of my songs. I love to inspire people. Performing is like storytelling. If you’re not 100% honest and yourself, it’s a gimmick. It is scary to go out there and tell everything you feel. That’s what makes musicians.” Bob Moses w/Callie Young When: 7 p.m. Saturday, May 18 Where: Tempe Marketplace, 2000 E.

So, to support the development of future leaders in Maricopa and Yavapai counties, Credit Union West has awarded five graduating high school seniors $1,000 scholarships to use toward college costs. The 2019 Credit Union West Scholarship recipients are Andrea Giacini, Sandra Day O’Conner High School; Samantha Latto, Centennial High School; Sierra McConnell, BASIS Prescott Charter School; Taylor Kluge, Sunrise Mountain High School; and Zackary Zertuche, Prescott High School.
The scholarships were awarded based on academic achievement, community service and overall character. Applicants were required to submit an essay on the role that personal finance plays in meeting career goals. Two of the selected recipients — Latto and Zertuche — are Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) students. “The cost of higher education is rising, and we want to help local high school graduates take this important step in their personal career and economic development,” said Karen Roch, president and CEO of Credit Union West.

Roch added, “There were so many impressive candidates this year that I’m confident our future is in capable hands.” This is the sixth year that the credit union has offered scholarships to Maricopa and Yavapai County high school graduates.

Businesses invited to sponsor ADOT 511 travel information signs BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF For nearly a decade, Arizona businesses have been reaching potential customers by placing their logos on blue signs located along freeways near their locations. A new program from the Arizona Department of Transportation will offer a branding opportunity for qualifying companies while promoting and creating awareness of the 511 Arizona Traveler Information program. Under the 511 Logo Signs program, businesses will be able to sponsor informational signs that remind drivers to call 511 for travel information. A horizontal sign listing the name of the sponsoring business will be attached at the bottom of the 511 sign. “This new program provides a unique opportunity for Arizona companies to gain exposure 24 hours a day along our state’s highways,” said Kelly Mero, chief executive officer of ADOT’s Grand Can-
yon State Logo Signs. “With just one sponsoring business on each sign, 511 Logo Signs will increase brand awareness and enhance the image of sponsoring companies.” Business categories eligible to take part in the program include food, gas, lodging, camping, attractions and 24-hour pharmacies. Sponsor signs will be 60 inches wide by 18 inches high, easily visible to passing drivers. The cost for the 12-month program is $4,325 — paid in advance — for the first year, which equates to about $360 per month. The package includes a one-year lease, fabrication and installation. A business can choose any available location for its sign, not just locations nearby. Proceeds from the signs will go to the Arizona State Highway Fund, which pays for highway maintenance and repairs around Arizona. Signs will be located primarily in the greater Phoenix and Tucson areas, and additional markets will be announced in the near future. Busi-
