Moms of victims ‘blessed’ by first responders

BY TOM SCANLON

Peoria Times Managing Editor

It might seem odd that mothers of teenagers cruelly shot in a random act of angry violence said they feel blessed.

But, they stressed, it could have been much worse, if not for heroic responders.

Police officers are supposed to stand tall and stop crime, but Glendale Officer Destiny Ebersohl was on her knees May 20, desperately stopping blood.

And firefighters/EMTs are supposed to be able to enjoy time off from their stressful jobs as professional life savers.

But Avondale Fire Capt. Chris Spire, out for a quiet family meal, dashed out of a Westgate restaurant into the danger zone after hearing ominous sounds.

“I started hearing what I thought was ham-

mering,” Spire recalled. “I went to the door and pushed it open. We do active-shooter training, and I recognized this was an active shooter.

“I made sure my family was safe then went back out the front door.”

In a Westgate walking area, two teenagers were on the ground, screaming in pain.

Armando Hernandez Jr. of Peoria allegedly had just shot three random victims, including Alfredo Jaime, 19, and Destiny Bain, 16.

Ebersohl was one of the first officers on the scene. AfSEE WESTGATE PAGE 4

Former fifth-grade teacher Ricky Ordway is scheduled to go to trial Monday, June 8. He faces two dozen sex abuse and molestation charges. (Peoria Times file photo)

A former fifth-grade teacher is scheduled to go to trial in Maricopa County Superior Court at 8 a.m.

Monday, June 8.

Ricky Ordway, a former teacher at Peoria Unified School District’s Sun Valley Elementary School, faces two dozen sex abuse and molestation charges.

His trial was first scheduled for April but, like many other cases, delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic that scrambled the court calendar.

A Peoria police officer arrested Ordway May 14, 2019.

A week earlier, PUSD sent parents an email stat-

ing, “A student and parent brought allegations of inappropriate conduct to our attention and we immediately notified the Peoria Police Department.”

According to police reports and court documents, several of Ordway’s alleged offenses took place in 2019.

Josephine Hallam, Ordway’s attorney, filed a Nov. 26 petition asking the court to dismiss the case.

As part of her argument, Hallam said school staff and the principal heard “rumors” of Ordway having sex with students in December 2018.

According to Hallam’s Nov. 26 petition: “In an interview, the principal of Sun Valley Elementary School, Stephen Balliet, disclosed that there SEE ORDWAY PAGE 2

had previously been rumors about Mr. Ordway that had been investigated by the school in December of 2018. These allegations (came) about after a student was overheard by an aide telling another student that Mr. Ordway had sex with students. “... Mr. Balliet addressed all four fifthgrade classes and instructed them to come forward and speak to him if they had a real concern about Mr. Ordway. No one came forward to speak to Mr. Balliet or make any disclosures about Mr. Ordway.”

Michael Minicozzi, Maricopa County deputy attorney, answered Hallam’s petition Dec. 2.

Minicozzi addressed all of Hallam’s claims that Ordway’s rights were violated.

“About five months before these allegations were investigated by the police, the principal of the elementary school conducted his own investigation brought on by some rumors that he had heard about the defendant acting inappropriately with some of the children,” Minicozzi said.

“The principal spoke with several students in the defendant’s class but ultimately, no one disclosed anything specific. ...

June 4, 2020

“Additionally, many of the incidents in this case occurred after the principal talked to some of the students.”

Sun Valley Elementary School, near Northern Avenue and U.S. 101, is in Peoria but has many students who live in nearby Glendale.

Mark Rodrigues, a detective with the special victims unit of the Peoria Police Department, gave grand jury testimony Aug. 13.

Rodrigues stated that multiple girls in Ordway’s class stated the teacher called them to his desk and molested them during class.

Rodrigues stated Ordway denied touching the girls inappropriately. He did acknowledge that he called girls to his desk to assist them. The detective said Ordway confirmed he never called boys to his desk.

According to the May 14, 2019, arrest report, “I took (Ordway) into custody and brought him back to the station. During a post-Miranda interview, (Ordway) denied all the allegations and said the victims were lying about the allegations.”

Ordway, a Peoria resident at the time of his arrest who has since moved to Phoenix near Glendale, has continued to maintain he is innocent during preliminary court proceedings.

PUSD 13% override and $125M bond to voters

BY ERIN BRASSEY

Glendale Star Staff Writer

Peoria Unified School District will ask voters to approve a 13% budget override and $125 million bond in November.

At its May 28 meeting, the PUSD Governing Board voted 3-1, with one abstention, to authorize an override and 3-2 for the bond that will appear on ballots.

The 13% override will continue to provide important funding for the district, said Michelle Myers, PUSD’s chief financial officer.

Voters approved the current 13% override in 2015. But an increase to 15% narrowly failed last fall.

PUSD voters first approved a 10% override in 1996 and renewed in 2001, 2006 and 2012. In 2015, voters approved a 13% override. The authorization lasts for seven

years and phases out over the last two years if not renewed or replaced with another voter-approved initiative.

The district has 42 schools in Glendale and Peoria.

Danielle Airey, a district spokeswoman, said the current 13% override provides approximately $28 million of additional funding for the district’s maintenance and operations budget each year for health care professionals, physical education, arts education, music, chorus and assistant principals.

The override would also cover funding for a lot more including but not limited to full-day kindergarten and teacher salaries, according to Airey.

Myers said the bond will cover costs for upgrades and repairs to existing schools as well as purchase land to SEE PUSD PAGE 3

Judy Doane was the only member to fully vote against both motions.

“I was willing to support a lesser override than this,” she said.

Doane said that if the district wants to see the override succeed, then the bond should be delayed.

Governing Board President David Sandoval and members Cory Underhill and Monica Ceja Martinez voted for the override and the bond.

“I understand what Ms. Doane is saying about this being a time of economic uncertainty, which is why we absolutely need a continuation of our 13% override,” Underhill said.

She felt this money would help the district face changes and new challenges in

Lesko named ‘Taxpayer Super Hero’ by Council for Citizens Against Government Waste

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Rep. Debbie Lesko, a Republican who represents Peoria and parts of Glendale, Avondale and Litchfield Park, was named a 2019 Taxpayer Super Hero by conservative group the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste.

“So many of our taxpayer dollars are wasted each year by the federal government. I came to Congress to rein in that spending and I will continue to do so as long as I’m in office,” Lesko said.

The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste (CCAGW) Congressional Ratings highlight the voting records of all 535 voting members of Congress.

The report, which CCAGW has issued since 1989, identifies members whose voting records helped protect taxpayer dollars, as well as those who consistently voted against their interests.

The CCAGW generally follow party lines, with Republicans receiving high marks while Democrats are panned.

Raul Grijalva, a Democrat who represents Goodyear and Buckeye, was ranked as “hostile” by the CCAGW, as was Ruben Gallego, a Democrat who represents Tolleson and part of Glendale.

schools during a post COVID-19 world.

Martinez supported the override, noting it funds nurses and health services within schools.

“My priority has always been and will always be safety first,” she said.

And she felt the bond provided funding for important updates that make sure the buildings are up to state code.

“I am in support of the bond so we can follow the law and stay compliant and keep our kids safe,” Martinez said.

Beverly Pingerelli abstained from voting for the override but did give her opinion on the subject.

“I believe a continuation of the 13% override at this time, especially if there is a potential tax increase on our community, is unwise,” Pingerelli said. “I was hopeful that we could have proposed a reduction in the override amount.”

Pingerelli did not support the bond and questioned whether people in the meeting felt the bond or the override was more crucial for the district.

Myers and Superintendent Linda Palles Thompson both stated that the district needed the override.

“Without an M&O override in place, the

district would lose funds that support people and programs,” Airey said.

Several community members provided their opinions to the board before the vote.

“I have one request for all board members. If you’re truly for our children, then vote ‘yes’ for both items,” Armando Macias said.

Jill Melaragni agreed with Doane’s view.

“I would like to ask that you only go out for an override this election cycle,” Melaragni said. “Past polling results show that voters will approve a bond over an override, and we can not allow this override to fail.”

Doane also talked about her discussions on the override with citizens not associated with education.

“Literally nobody that I have spoken to outside of the education realm has agreed that they would vote for this— nobody,” she said.

Sandoval called for united support moving forward.

“I believe that each one of us wants this override to be successful and wants the district to be successful,” Sandoval said. “We just do it from different points of view.”

Kathleen said Destiny called her right after she was shot and she rushed to Westgate. “She kept saying, ‘Nobody’s here and I’m bleeding.’ I said, ‘I’m on my way, I’m on my way,’” Bain said.

She was able to share good news.

Rezone case pending for Arrowhead RV development

BY ALEX CONFORTI

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

The Peoria City Council approved a general plan amendment for the former site of Linden Tree Nursery, redesignating the area employment business commerce from traditional residential, possibly paving the way for Arrowhead RV and Boat Storage.

The rezone will be discussed at a future Peoria City Council meeting, which has yet to be set, according to Chris Jacquez, Peoria’s planning director.

The general plan amendment moved forward without the associated rezone, because the plan will be considered by voters during the general election in November, according to Jacquez.

From May to November, the council will not consider general plan amendments because of the election.

“If the rezone does not move forward or the case otherwise stalls, the city would take action to revert the land use back to residential,” Jacquez said.

The subject site is at 11150 W. Beardsley Road, an area surrounded by other industrial sites and operations, just east of the Ventana Lakes single-family residential community.

The build will include a recreational vehicle and boat storage facility on 21.1 acres, including a combination of enclosed, covered and uncovered recreational vehicle parking spaces.

Ventana Lakes residents expressed concern about the increase in traffic and noise from the 24/7 operation.

“Our view would be diminished by

any industrial, manufacturing, storage, office, etc.,” Cathy Seaborn, a Ventana Lakes resident, said in an email to Rick Williams, the project’s senior planner.

“We are quite unhappy with the possibility of having that type of business rising over the back wall. Again, it is unsightly, unacceptable and will undoubtedly affect our property values negatively.”

Another resident, Teresa Lovell, told the Peoria Times she is not opposed to the build if they address the community’s concerns.

“I am opposed to the amount of heavy traffic on roads that are not built to support such a high amount,” Lovell added. “I have lived here since ’04 and can’t think of a year where we have had complete access to that road. If they are changing the zoning laws, there should be some kind of modifications so the impact to existing residents is minimal. We purchased our homes with the idea that this was residential, and now it’s light industrial.”

City Councilman Jon Edwards said he was concerned that, given the pandemic, residents were unable to express their complaints appropriately.

“We have committed to follow back up with both the board and residents,” answered Jason Morris of Withey Morris PLC, who represents the owners. “I will reach out to the HOA, and we will offer a virtual meeting. We’ll do individual calls with residents on that eastern boundary so that we’ve answered their questions SEE ARROWHEAD PAGE 11

Ducey says schools will reopen this summer

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Arizona schools will reopen late this summer, pretty much no matter what is going on with COVID-19, Gov. Doug Ducey said May 28.

And there could be summer school— and even the opening of schools that operate on a year-round basis—starting this month.

The governor and Cara Christ, his health director, acknowledged the risk of having children together in classrooms.

That’s why schools were shuttered on March 15.

But Christ said it isn’t that simple.

“There’s a lot of public health reasons why we would want kids in school,’’ she said.

“They provide a lot more services than just education.’’

Still, she conceded, it is a bit of a balancing test.

“Schools provide nutrition, they pro-

vide safe environments, they provide physical activity,’’ Christ said. “All of this is important for the ongoing health of these kids, especially as they grow.’’

That, she said, requires looking at it “from a holistic public health approach.’’

“We are weighing it against the risk of transmission of the virus, and that’s one of the things we’re taking into account,’’ Christ said. That includes “flexibility’’ to provide alternatives to students—and faculty—who may themselves be at risk or have family members and finding ways to keep them safe “while we’re still meeting the needs of the children.’’

Anyway, she said, there are ways to reduce risks, ranging from more frequent disinfection of surfaces to not having students gather for assemblies and lunches.

Ducey defended the decision to make that announcement about August reopenings on May 28, even with the state still in what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls Phase 1. That is the earliest stage of re-

opening both the economy and public activity, which involves not just social distancing but also prohibits gatherings of more than 10 in any one place.

“We need parents and teachers and superintendents to be prepared,’’ he said of the announcement.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman on May 28 promised to issue “guidance to serve as a road map for preparing for a variety of learning options that keep students and teachers safe.’’

“This document ... will provide adaptable, flexible recommendations, considerations and resources for districts and charters to plan for the upcoming year,’’ Hoffman said.

Public schools aside, the governor gave the go-ahead for summer camps to open as early as this coming week.

That, however, is for the moment going to be limited to day camps. And they will have to operate under guidelines to be issued by the state.

In a 41-page “road map’’ released June 1, Hoffman provided a series of options for local school board members to consider as they figure out what’s the best course of action going forward for 1.1 million youngsters in more than 2,000 school buildings.

Among the proposals worked out with education, community and health officials: • Physical distancing of children, including partitions between desks and limited seating on school buses.

• Closing communal areas like dining halls and serving individually plated or home-packed meals, using disposable utensils and dishes.

• Encouraging staff and students to stay home when sick and eliminating “perfect attendance’’ awards.

• Screening students for symptoms, which may include temperature checks.

• Staging staggered times for parents to drop off and pick up their children.

• Creating small class sizes “when possible.”

And when physical distancing does not work, the plan says schools should consider other strategies to limit the spread of disease, including cloth face masks, hand washing and sanitizing surfaces.

Still, the bottom line comes down to

whether, even implementing all these strategies, it’s possible to keep students and staff safe. And that problem can be multiplied in younger age groups where it may be unrealistic to try to keep kids apart, which is why, even in the best of circumstances, children come home from school with head lice.

“I think it’s important for all of us to acknowledge that this is about decreasing risk,’’ Hoffman said.

“But in our school settings ... it’s almost impossible to completely eliminate the risk,’’ she said. “A school is a place where people congregate, where kids come together and adults come together, so there’s always going to be some level of risk.’’

Hoffman said the report includes various recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, like the issue of distancing and wearing masks.

“But we also recognize and are realistic that may not be feasible for every school community,’’ she continued. “If these mitigation strategies are not feasible, then one of the considerations would be to not open and to provide more distance learning or have more online options.’’

And the road map does say that is an option. One other is a “hybrid’’ program where students spend only part of the week in a school building. Only thing is, she said, the formula for state aid currently does not recognize this as an option.

Hoffman emphasized that none of the proposals or suggestions are mandates.

“This is not a one-size-fits-all,’’ Hoffman said.

“This is meant to be flexible and adaptable to help our school leaders think through all different types of scenarios and work within their own communities to create plans that are best for their unique needs.’’

Some of that, Hoffman said, is likely to be based on the rate of infection, with some communities having above-average spread of COVID-19 than others.

All of this—whether more teachers, more classroom space, more computers for online learning, or even disinfecting solutions—involves money, even as the state is looking at a deficit for the coming fiscal year that could hit $1.6 billion.

Job fair for experienced nurses, ER techs at newAbrazo Surprise Hospital

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

A job fair for experienced nurses and emergency department technicians will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Thursday, June 4, at the new Abrazo Surprise Hospital.

The new hospital is scheduled to open later this summer. Abrazo has openings for registered nurses and emergency department techs with at least two years of experience.

Recruiters and hiring leaders will be on-site for interviews during the job fair.

Abrazo Surprise Hospital is located at 16815 West Bell Road, Surprise.

“In an effort to keep everyone safe, we ask that you bring a face mask with you. There will be a health care practitioner at the entrance to check your temperature and screen everyone for COVID symptoms,” said Abrazo Nurse Recruiter Vanessa Telford.

Abrazo Surprise Hospital will provide emergency care and surgical services.

Designed as a neighborhood hospital focused on quality health care, convenience and efficiency, the facility is smaller in scale than a typical general hospital. Like its larger sister hospital Abrazo Arrowhead Campus, it will include an ER, surgical suite, private inpatient rooms, X-ray, CT, laboratory and other services.

The hospital is expected to provide more than 50 full-time equivalent clinical and support staff jobs.

Abrazo Surprise Hospital will be the second of three Abrazo neighborhood hospitals in the Valley.

Abrazo Mesa Hospital opened in October 2019 and construction recently began for Abrazo Cave Creek Hospital.

According to Abrazo, the single-story neighborhood hospitals are sometimes referred to as “microhospitals.”

shoppers and retailers in mind,” according to a Facebook post.

“The center is closed until further notice,” an Arrowhead Towne Center recording said June 1.

Westgate Entertainment Center remained open, though it closed early at 5 p.m. June 1 and June 2.

“The looting and violence we saw last night (May 30), especially in Scottsdale, simply cannot be tolerated,’’ Ducey said.

“Destruction of property does not qualify as freedom of expression.’’

The order was taken under the same laws which Ducey said gave him the authority to issue a “stay-at-home’’ order and restrict business operations due to COVID-19. Violations are a Class 1 misdemeanor, carrying up to six months in jail and a $2,500 fine— in addition to any other charges that might be leveled against those arrested.

In issuing the order, Ducey said in a Twitter post that it “gives law enforcement an additional tool to prevent the lawlessness we have seen here and in cities nationwide.’’

“Police will be equipped to make arrests of individuals who are planning to riot, loot or cause damage and unrest,’’ the governor said.

Scottsdale police said “millions of damages and theft’’ occurred in violence and looting May 30 at the Fashion Square mall and nearby businesses.

Police said 12 were arrested.

And 114 were arrested in Phoenix during protests on Saturday.

The governor said he was acting “at the request of local leaders and in coordination with state and local law enforcement.’’

Annie DeGraw, aide to Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego, said her boss also was kept in the dark.

“We learned on Twitter along with the rest of the world,’’ she said.

“We have not had any discussions with him about a curfew. We have not had any discussions with him about protests,’’ DeGraw said. “We have not had any discussions with him about pretty much anything in many months.’’

Peoria lands $20M in CARES funding

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act fund, the federal government gave Gov. Doug Ducey $1.9 billion to allocate locally.

Ducey announced May 28 the creation of the AZCares Fund to filter $440 million of CARES money to cities and towns. Of the total, nearly $60 million is headed to the Glendale-Peoria corridor.

Around $29 million of that will land in Glendale. Peoria is to receive just over $20 million.

“As we continue to work toward a strong and healthy recovery, I am grateful for Gov. Ducey’s work to streamline the AZCares funding and we look forward to getting these dollars back into our community as quickly as possible,” Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat said.

The AZCares money coming to Glendale is in addition to nearly $3 million in funding to serve homeless and low-income populations.

The funds come just as cities are putting their annual budgets together. But there are strict stipulations on how the money can be used—only for public health and public safety.

According to information on the AZCares Fund, “The direct allocations must be used on payroll expenses related to an entity’s public health and public safety expenses from March 1 through Dec. 30.”

Glendale spokesman Jay Crandall ARROWHEAD FROM PAGE 5

completely.”

City officials and Morris said surrounding residential areas will benefit from the “neighborhood-friendly” and “low-intensity” commercial amenity.

And Arrowhead RV will provide employment opportunities through its facility and generate sales taxes, which will increase Peoria’s tax base and revenues while benefiting local school districts.

A meeting with over a dozen residents and board members from the HOA of

confirmed the city will use $29 million from the AZCares Fund “for payroll expenses for public safety.”

Peoria said the funds will help offset some of the challenges the city faced due to the pandemic.

“Our community has developed real, pragmatic solutions to the new problems that this pandemic created, and I have been amazed at how responsive and adaptive our city, our first responders and our small businesses have been,” Carlat said.

The state’s largest cities, including Phoenix and Mesa, previously received direct CARES funding from the federal government. With less stipulations on how the money can be used, those cities used some of the funding for business and resident assistance.

The money has not been sent, as cities are required to submit applications for the grant money.

The money from the AZCares Fund is to be distributed based on population from 2019 U.S. Census figures (the current census will not be finalized until next year).

The population figure for Glendale used for the funding is 252,381. Peoria’s population is listed as 175,961 in the AZCares Fund documents.

Avondale (population 87,931) will get slightly more than $10 million, Goodyear just under $10 million.

Buckeye’s funding will be $9.1 million while Litchfield Park will get about $750,000 from the AZCares Fund.

Ventana Lakes residential community earlier this year came to unanimous vote concluding they were “fine” with the new development project, according to an email sent to Ventana Lake residents from the board.

“We back right up to that land, and I just cannot fathom the visual aspects and the noise,” Lee Sanderson, a resident of Ventana Lakes, said during a video conference.

“We found this place so peaceful, and we’re just really concerned.”

Past tragedies evoked past presidents’ inspiration They came to the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds by the thousands, just four days after a terrorist’s bomb ripped through a federal building in Downtown Oklahoma City.

This was April 23, 1995—not a pandemic with 100,000 dead but 168 murdered—and I was there as a columnist.

The Rev. Billy Graham spoke eloquently about the mysteries of God. “I’ve been asked why God allows it,” the pastor said. “I don’t know. ... I have to confess that I never fully understand, even for my own satisfaction.

I have to accept that God is a God of love and mercy and compassion even in the midst of suffering.”

Then President Bill Clinton rose and spoke to grieving—and with him rose America.

I never cared much for Clinton the man. But Clinton the orator spoke with

humility and grace. He leaned into a profound moment of national grief, and drew us with him. He quoted Proverbs 11:29 and it fit the moment perfectly.

“To all my fellow Americans beyond this hall, I say, one thing we owe those who have sacrificed is the duty to purge ourselves of the dark forces which gave rise to this evil. They are forces that threaten our common peace, our freedom, our way of life. Let us teach our children that the God of comfort is also the God of righteousness: Those who trouble their own house will inherit the wind. Justice will prevail.”

Once, we called moments like this “being presidential.” It was what presidents did when we suffered war, attack,

PETERS’ OPINION — Daytona Daily News

mass death. You might remember such times, though now it’s a thing of the past.

Here’s President Trump on the day we passed 100,000 dead from COVID-19: “The Radical Left Lamestream Media, together with their partner, the Do Nothing Democrats, are trying to spread a new narrative that President Trump was slow in reacting to Covid 19. Wrong, I was very fast, even doing the Ban on China long before anybody thought necessary!”

Classy.

I miss empathy and having a president who rises to the moment.

Like President Reagan after the Challenger exploded in 1986.

“I know it is hard to understand, but sometimes painful things like this happen,” he told us. “It’s all part of taking a chance and expanding man’s horizons. The future doesn’t belong to the fainthearted; it belongs to the brave.”

Like President Obama after a mass shooting in Tucson killed six and wounded 13.

“If this tragedy prompts reflection and debate, as it should, let’s make sure it’s worthy of those we have lost. Let’s make sure it’s not on the usual plane of politics and point scoring and pettiness that drifts away in the next news cycle. The loss of these wonderful people should make every one of us strive to be better.”

Like President George W. Bush through a bullhorn at Ground Zero after 9/11. “I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you! And the people—and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!”

Here’s Donald Trump, asked if he had a message for Americans who might be worried about the pandemic: “I say that you’re a terrible reporter. That’s what I say. I think it’s a very nasty question.”

Actually, in our most tragic moments, it’s exactly the question every president should answer.

Before the coronavirus pandemic hit, coffee shops were an essential part of many lives. Like restaurants, coffee shops were required by a Gov. Doug Ducey order to only provide to-go or delivery drinks and food from midMarch through May 10. Patrons were permitted to enjoy food and drinks in restaurants and coffee shops May 11, though with guidelines.

Yet West Valley residents have continued to frequent their favorite cafes—with one saying business is actually better than pre-pandemic.

/PeoriaTimes

Business Briefcase

Other local coffee shops, such as Driftwood Coffee Co. in Peoria, saw a decline in business. This can be especially difficult for shops that attract customers because of their unique “vibe” and aesthetic. A Driftwood representative said sales picked up as soon as dining in was permitted.

Some local shops said customers showed their passion about supporting local businesses. Cabin Coffee Café in Glendale saw customers returning a few weeks into the pandemic. Manager Janice Openshaw said, “Our customers tell us they want to see us open when everything is back to normal.”

Cafes that were better adapted to drive-thru and takeout orders have fared better during the pandemic. Café Bebida, located inside Casa Lucero in Goodyear, noted that after customers were aware they could safely place orders, business rebounded.

“We were very fortunate to have a large, beautiful walk-up window for takeout that looks out on the Sonoran Desert,” said Deborah Huyer, Café Bebida’s manager.

“Although business slowed for a couple of weeks after restaurants were closed (for dining in) by executive order, we picked back up and actually did

as much or more than we did before the COVID-19 closure.”

Many cafes reported fewer customers in the first few weeks of the pandemic. As customers were assured that takeout orders could be completed safely, business returned.

Many noticed that patrons wanted to support these businesses through tough times. Some saw increases in the purchase of coffee beans and cold brews that customers could enjoy at home.

Larger chains are adapting to local guidelines.

“Connection and community are fundamental to humanity. As we gradually come out of isolation, people will continue to crave connection and crave a sense of community,” Starbucks president and CEO Kevin Johnson said in a May 21 letter to stores.

“Over the last week, we have now regained about 60-65% of prior year comparable U.S. store sales while reopening under modified operations and with reduced hours.

“So that is our job now: to build a bridge to a future that—yes—will look different but that stays true to Starbucks’ mission and values,” Johnson wrote.

“We will build it together, and it will carry us all to a better tomorrow for Starbucks and the communities we serve.”

We heard you loud and clear! Value, Value, Value

BY SCOT ANDREWS

Peoria Chamber CEO and President

The Peoria Chamber of Commerce Business Association and all businesses in Peoria are opening as we speak. Over the last several months, we have asked for input and listened to you.

In March, we launched a comprehensive survey of our businesses and members. We had a significant response rate.

We explored four dimensions of input.

These were: value/ROI of an investment in the chamber business associa-

tion, education needs and requirements, large (signature) events expectations, and the preferred timing of our events.

Last businesses were asked to provide additional comments we could act on to improve our value to their business.

The survey says...... value/ROI is critical for businesses, as they have limited capital and want to see a solid return.

Business wants us to: Market their business; provide situational training to grow; and connect them to industry power players in their product-offering space.

Access to community leaders was a close

fourth to the above expectations.

For education businesses had explicit needs for social media marketing, networking, work-life balance and sales.

Relative to large events, our business and membership cited fun, engaging activities connected to the community are expected. Large/signature events survey results cited a keen interest in a taste of Peoria, business leadership panels or conferences and women power player panels or conferences.

For best timing of events, a more tra-

Tune In To Your Community

ditional expectation was evident, in that before 9 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 5 to 7 p.m. were the top times requests for events.

In terms of the verbatim comments, businesses are seeking real relationships, expansion of their network of contacts, and a sincere nonself-serving empathy for their business in general, given their needs are ever changing. Our focus at the Peoria Chamber of Commerce is 100% in the one-on-one relationship with our business community and serving these needs tirelessly. Now is the time to connect with us and explore how we can serve you! We like to say our response is “yes” and we’ll figure out the “how.”

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

by Donna Pettman

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK H H

H Moderate HH Challenging HHH HOO BOY!

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

Then rearrange the boxed letters to form the mystery word, which will complete the gag!

Don’t preach, teach, screech or beseech … just communicate!

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph

Peoria Times Columnist

I like communicating with people. I’m a pastor, speaker and author, but really, most people say that I do much more than that. I communicate. I don’t preach, teach, beseech or screech. I communicate or at least attempt to communicate. My goal is to connect the message with the audience engagingly and creatively, creating a shift in beliefs and behavior that uplifts people.

Webster defines communication as a process by which information is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs or behavior; a technique for expressing ideas

effectively; an act or instance of transmitting.

Here are some examples of sayings on T-shirts that I say a lot in a little. The sayings are short, funny, cheeky and communicate creatively.

“Tweet others as you like to be tweeted.” “Bacteria—it’s the only culture some people have.” “90% Awesome. 15% Bad at Math.”

Wasn’t that refreshing? These sayings were created for one thing: to say something that goes beyond the conventional way of saying that something. In this case, it’s meant to sell T-shirts. But it also connects the message with the audience.

People say to themselves, “A-ha, I like that. It says something that I resonate with more powerfully than I could say it.

NO STRANGERS, NO JUDGEMENT & NO ADDED STRESS.

I am willing to not only buy it but become a walking billboard for it.” There is power in communication.

I remember when I was a full-time pastor in a local church here in Phoenix called Hosanna Christian Fellowship. I wanted to communicate in a way that would create a shift, a change in insight and behavior, on a subject most of my congregation already knew about. They could pontificate on the subject but could not communicate on the subject in a way that connected the message with the audience.

My Bible text for the day was Luke 8:11. “Now, the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God.” So, my subject was going to be on the Word of God. How do I communicate to those who have heard messages on the Word of God many times? How could I communicate in a way that would impact their world, transporting them from information to revelation creating an application? How could I say a lot in a little in an unexpected way, breaking the boring “order of service” that puts most church people to sleep?

I noticed that Jesus said the Word of God is like a seed. When planted in good soil, it will grow into something bigger, better, greater. I went to the seed store and bought 100 pounds of clean corn seeds. Then I put about five pounds of seeds in a small, white plastic bag. I hid the rest of the seeds backstage.

As I began speaking, I used the usual form of speaking … giving Bible references, some examples, and explained what the parable was saying, etc. Everything was as it should be. About 25 minutes into the sermon, I picked up the small, white bag of seeds and kept speaking.

Then I changed spiritual gears. I moved from a lecturer to a communicator, from teaching to learning, from one-way nonparticipative speaking to two-way interaction with the audience. I started asking, “What good is the seed in a bag? It needs to be spread and planted to produce something.”

As I was speaking, I put my hand into

the bag and threw a handful of seeds into the audience. Then I threw another handful and then another handful of seeds.

The audience initially was in shock. This was unexpected. Seeds were flying all over the 800-seat sanctuary. But soon, the congregants were laughing. “A-ha … we get it … it’s seed … we need to spread God’s Word everywhere.”

After the small bag of seed was gone, I calmed down my approach a bit. I said, “Learn the three laws of sowing. 1. You always reap what you sow. 2. You always reap more than you sow. 3. You always reap later than you sow.” I concluded with the statement, “If you sow sparingly, you will reap sparingly.”

At this point, everyone calmed down.

Then another “suddenly” came along. I ran backstage, dragged out the giant bag of corn with a large shovel in my hand.

The audience gasped. Yes, you guessed it. I emptied the giant bag of corn on the front of the stage, put the shovel into the pile of corn and started shoveling the corn into the audience. The crowd was exuberant and inspired. I communicated.

No one that I know of has ever forgotten that message.

Maybe a few were offended, but not many. With corn in their hair, corn down in their shirts and blouses, and corn in the seats and aisles, people were uplifted.

They were transported from knowledge to understanding. A first-time Catholic attendee who was a guest came up to me after the service. Without any mention of offerings whatsoever, he gave $20,000 for new chairs that our church desperately needed. He said, “I know a good investment when I see it. I’m sowing seed.”

If you want to go up in life, learn to communicate. By the way, don’t get upset if Christians are quoting Bible verses.

They’re doing what they are supposed to do: sow seed.

Youth sports return, with temperature checks, no high fives

BY DERRICK SMITH AND JACKSON LAUTARET Cronkite News

Eliminating high fives and coaching in groups of more than 10 and administering regular temperature checks are among the recommendations the Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA) is endorsing for high school athletes as they begin practice for the fall sports season.

The AIA, the state’s governing body for high school sports, is following guidelines produced by the national Sports Medicine Advisory Committee for a state that is in phase one, which is the case with Arizona. The association also offered guidelines for when the state moves into phases two and three.

“Our priority through this is for the safety and well-being of all our state’s student-athletes and those that support them,” said David Hines, executive director of the AIA. “We are not guaranteed to have a fall season. We are preparing to be ready on time, but it will all depend on how this situation develops as the summer goes on.

We just ask that schools, coaches, players and parents consider and utilize the guidelines until we get back to normal.”

The AIA’s guidelines May 28 came shortly before Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced that youth activities, such as Little League and other sports leagues, summer schools and day camps, will be allowed to reopen under new social distancing and safety standards.

“Things would be getting back to nor-

mal when somebody could say ‘play ball’ or ‘batter up.’ I was hoping that play ball would be for the Diamondbacks, but in the meantime it can be for Little League,” Ducey said at a May 28 news conference.

The timing is up to organizations, he said.

Detailed guidelines by the SMAC for phase one include: • Small-group activities are permitted for 10 people or fewer with a coach on-site, but public facilities (including gyms) remain closed.

• All athletes, coaches and other support staff must be free from symptoms for at least 14 days and no individual is in close contact with anyone who is sick within that 14-day period before group training may begin.

• All athletes, coaches and support staff who are members of a high-risk group or live at home with a member of a high-risk group shall only attend training sessions virtually.

• Screening for symptoms occurs based on a daily COVID-19 symptom questionnaire of all participants, including coaches and staff.

• If an athlete is showing any symptoms or discloses symptoms or illness, a parent should be called and the athlete needs to be seen and cleared by a health care provider.

• Temperature checks are strongly encouraged for all participants. Each athlete shall log their self-reported questionnaire and temperature. A COVID-19 point of contact for teams

RobeRt W. ClaRk, JR. DDS

shall maintain symptom logs.

• Disinfecting and cleaning of all personal equipment and material shall occur before and after practice as well as any other time there is contact with another person.

The recommended guidelines created by the SMAC are based on Du- The AIA announced guidelines for the return of high school athletics Arizona Thursday.
