ASU students to support city’s sustainability projects

NEWS .............5 Former Councilman Leone passes away two months after retirement

The city of Peoria is entering into an intergovernmental agreement with ASU’s Julie Ann Wrigley Global Institute of Sustainability to facilitate five local sustainability and livability projects. The proposed projects, as approved unanimously at a June 18 council meeting, include a water conservation and shortage response plan, a communitywide placemaking/parks and recreation survey, best practices for the transit circulator, a smart city technology and innovation feasibility study, and a sustain-

ability training module. Through the 12- to 24-month partnership, students and faculty from various ASU campuses will provide “hands-on research, design and deliverables,” Peoria Chief of Staff Jay Davies said at the meeting. “One of the keys to this partnership is our ability to go beyond our existing resources and leverage these students’ energy, enthusiasm and innovation to explore and develop approaches to complex questions we face as a progressive city,” Davies explained. The projects, he said, were ultimately selected as areas in need of additional resources and research.

Happy Valley Parkway improvements to begin

Project Cities

The collaboration between ASU faculty and students with city staff is executed through the school’s Project Cities program. According to Steven Russell, program manager, Project Cities was created in 2017 due to the struggles of faculty to facilitate community projects. Resources and relationships are ultimately leveraged “to match city-proposed projects with complementary classes,” he said. “We then take care of the legwork to set up those projects and provide ongoing logistical support as SEE PROJECTS PAGE 3

Construction is slated to begin this August on Happy Valley Parkway improvements from Lake Pleasant Parkway to Loop 303. The improvements — approved unanimously at a June 18 council meeting — will increase the roadway from two to three lanes in each direction; incorporate landscaped medians, bike lanes, curbs, gutters, street lights and sidewalks; and improve traffic signals at 115th Avenue and 100th Lane.

will cost $19.4 million. Officials also included a $1 million contingency amount to cover unforeseen conditions during construction. Additional costs of $409,000 are also listed on the council agenda. City officials previously authorized an intergovernmental agreement with Maricopa County, which will contribute $5 million toward the project, said Adina Lund, development and engineering director, at the meeting. The city will annex the county’s portion of the roadway, which extends from Loop 303 to the Agua Fria River. That portion includes a traffic signal at 115th Avenue, which regularly gets backed up, Lund said. Construction will extend the left turn, Lund said, and the signal will be timed with others in the city. In addition to being widened to six lanes and including a median barrier with attenuation, the Agua Fria River Bridge will feature a 12-foot multiuse path for pedestrians and bicyclists, according to the council agenda. The portion from the Agua Fria River to Lake Pleasant Parkway is already

well as some additional resources to enrich the experience for all parties.” Russell pointed to several successes of the program elsewhere. In Apache Junction, he said, students developed a strategy to overhaul the privatized waste management system. According to Russell, companies had been duplicating routes, residents were flaunting anti-dumping regulations, and there were issues with emissions and pollution. Formal adoption of a new system is expected this year. Also in the far East Valley city, students renewed interest in and found several potential sites for an offleash dog park project, which was suspended indefinitely more than a decade ago due to the economic recession. Council directed city staff to pursue one of the student-recommended sites June 18.

owned and maintained by the city of Peoria. There, the 100th Lane signal, Lund added, will be extended to the south “to also service the Target shopping center (at the southwest corner of Lake Pleasant Parkway and Happy Valley Parkway), providing left turns out for those that are headed toward the Loop 303.” Aesthetic enhancements and artwork will be installed after construction and will require a separate contract. Officials have taken into account the large influx of traffic in the area ahead of construction. “We do know there is a lot of traffic in the area and there is a large section in the special provisions that talks about not working in front of those commercial businesses between Thanksgiving and New Year’s and not impacting traffic during the rush hour,” Lund said. And Contractor Ames Construction has experience with Peoria, having worked on Lake Pleasant Parkway from Westwing Parkway to Loop 303, and Happy Valley Parkway from Terramar Boulevard to Lake Pleasant Parkway.

“They’re very familiar with our static requirements and they should do us proud,” Lund said. City councilmembers unanimously voted in favor of the development. “To tell you the truth, I never thought I would be so excited about a bridge. But I really am, because this is going to be such a tremendous improvement to the flow of traffic and getting in and out of the Vistancia community and the Mesquite District,” Vice Mayor Bridget Binsbacher said. “And, most importantly, this truly was a lot of work and communication and outreach with the community, and a lot of folks came to public meetings and weighed in on what they needed, and that really contributed to this amazing design that I think is just fantastic.”

Mayor awards Huntington University BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

At the Peoria Chamber of Commerce’s 100th anniversary and awards banquet on June 14, Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat announced Huntington University Arizona as this year’s Mayor’s Award recipient. The Mayor’s Award is one of several annual awards that honor businesses, organizations and individuals who have a positive impact on the Peoria Chamber of Commerce and the community. Every year, the chamber asks the mayor of Peoria to select a recipient for and present the Mayor’s Award. Carlat selects her chosen

recipient by focusing on businesses, organizations and individuals that have an exceptional impact on and elevate the community, and serve Peoria’s residents well. “Receiving the Mayor’s Award on behalf of Huntington University Arizona was really exciting and encouraging,” said Jeff Berggren, director of Huntington University Arizona’s operations. “Our mission as a Christ-centered university is to be active in our community and partner with a number of organizations to help bring positive changes. This is an important calling even when things are going well, as is the case with Peoria’s leadership and the

growth of the city.” Carlat added, “Huntington University is an incredible community partner. Since opening their doors in Peoria, the HU Arizona team has stepped up and involved themselves in many ways, by supporting our city and supporting many nonprofits throughout the Valley. I’m grateful they made the decision to become a part of our Peoria family, and it is an honor to present them with the Mayor’s Award.” Huntington University Arizona opened its doors in 2016, welcoming students seeking a degree in digital media arts. The facility, a 30,000-square-foot building, houses

bachelor’s degree programs in animation, film production, broadcast media and graphic design. The facility features film and TV studios, high-end computer classroom/labs, private editing suites, a state-of-theart TV control room, Foley pit, a host of EFP and cinema cameras, and lighting gear for student production work. “The city has been such a wonderful partner, and to have Mayor Carlat recognize our partnership in this manner is such a meaningful statement to our faculty, staff and students. In fact, it inspires us to do even more,” Berggren said.

City to undergo conversion to LED streetlights BY CONNOR DZIAWURA

Peoria Times Managing Editor

The city of Peoria will soon replace thousands of streetlights throughout the city with more energy-efficient LED fixtures. Beginning in September, the city plans to convert all 3,250 arterial streetlights — or those on main roads — and about 1,200 collector streetlights — or those on mid-size roads — from low-sodium pressure to LED (light-emitting diode). The project — which will cost more than $1.6 million — was unanimously

approved by city council on June 18. “As part of the FY 19 CIP process, council approved $2,050,000 for arterial and collectors streetlight

conversions (and pole replacements) from high-pressure sodium to LED. It also included replacement of any worn or damaged poles,” Rhonda Humbles, deputy public works director, said at the meeting. Staff ultimately audited and inspected the city’s 16,150 streetlights, and the city determined cost estimates and streetlight conversion options, she added. The reason for the upgrades, she explained, is LED fixtures are brighter and clearer; more illuminating of sidewalks and streets as opposed to private property; on average have

Two months after he retires, Carlo Leone passes away BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

After 20 years of service to Peoria and just over two months after resigning, former Councilman Carlo “Rocky” Leone has passed away. He was 84. Peoria officials, who worked with Leone for many years, were quick to voice their condolences and celebrate his memory. “I am saddened to hear of Carlo’s passing,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said. “He spent many years representing the citizens of Peoria’s Pine District, and I am grateful for his dedicated service. “It is a blessing that he was able to spend his final months surrounded by those he loved most. My prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.” Leone announced his resignation from Peoria City Council on April 16, due to ongoing health issues. Initially elected to represent the Pine District in May 1999, he subsequently spent six terms in the position. Leone was known for his outspoken nature and unwavering dedication to his district and its residents, frequently visiting constituents at their homes and city or neighborhood events. “Carlo was a passionate public STREETLIGHTS FROM PAGE 4

And according to Humbles, that’s “in addition to the 475 staff-installed streetlights that the street operations have been phasing in through the streetlight pole replacement program.” According to a council agenda, LED fixtures are required for new commercial and residential development, but that doesn’t account for older lighting that has yet to be upgraded. Though a firm timeline is not yet set for project completion, Humbles estimated six to nine months for the conversion of arterial roadways, after which the collector streets will be upgraded as the budget permits, according to the council agenda. “The collector LED conversion would be based upon a prioritization of the following criteria: traffic volumes, proximity to schools and parks, and bike lanes,” she said.

servant who cared deeply about the residents of Peoria,” City Manager Jeff Tyne said. “He was committed to helping make Peoria a wonderful place to live. He will be greatly missed.” Leone lived more than 30 years in Peoria with his family. He is survived by his five children, 13 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. As of press time, details about Leone’s funeral arrangements are forthcoming. Expanding on determinants for which lights must be replaced, Humbles said rust and other factors that could affect strength and structural integrity must be taken into account. “In those areas where sprinklers have attacked and you see rust at the base, those are going to be the priorities,” she said. “We also take into account the date of the installation, so we have that record and we start looking at those first, and then we do the inspections, and the results of those will dictate where we begin.” As for waste, Humbles said highpressure sodium fixtures will be recycled “to the extent possible,” and there will be little or no cost to do so. “I, for one, really like the idea of $200,000 a year savings and moving to something that’s a much more sustainable and smarter avenue for lighting our streets,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said.

Peoria makes USA Today’s top 10 outdoor destinations BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Listed among beautiful places like the Grand Canyon National Park; Aspen, Colorado; and Niagara Falls, New York, the city of Peoria was named one of the top 10 unique destinations to experience the outdoors by USA Today. USA Today selected Peoria, the only Arizona city on the list, for its proximity to Phoenix, the Sonoran Desert and Lake Pleasant. “We know that our city’s treasure is the perfect combination of beautiful desert spaces, mountains, trails and the vast, cool waters of Lake Pleasant,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said. “Even though we might like to keep it all to ourselves, we are truly thrilled to share our amazing amenities on the national stage so more people will be able to discover why Peoria is the place to be.” This is the second time this year USA

the city’s social media presence. The ultimate goal of the program is “two-fold,” or a “win-win,” Russell said. “First, we aim to improve the quality of life for residents in your community by bringing cross-disciplinary collaboration and research-backed solutions to these complex municipal sustainability challenges,” he explained. “Second, the program adds value to the ASU students’ learning experience by providing real-world applications for students’ chosen fields of study.” Research proves that value, he said.

Today has featured Peoria, previously naming 10 Peoria sights that “hit it out of the ballpark.” Also, in the last year, the city of Peoria has been recognized as being the Best Place to Get a Job, having the Best Ballpark in the Valley, being the Best City to Raise a Family and being the No. 1 Best City to Live in Arizona. “It is an honor to receive this recognition as it is a testament to Peoria’s many outdoor offerings,” Communications and Tourism Director Jennifer Stein said. “Peoria has been focusing on its tourism efforts by positioning the city as a premier destination, and seeing our efforts pay off with recognition like this is incredibly rewarding.” To check out the USA Today 10 unique outdoor destinations list, visit https://bit.ly/2N2s2Nf. To read more about the top 10 places in Peoria, according to USA Today, visit https:// bit.ly/2N2s2Nf.

“In a recent survey of students in the spring 2019 semester, 92% reported that the applied project made their class more interesting and engaging,” he said. “Notably, 84% also indicated that their experience working with municipal government increased their determination to pursue sustainability challenges in their own communities.”

Five projects

The city of Peoria’s 2019-20 program budget is $50,000, according to Peoria’s request for proposals (RFP) submitted to ASU. According to the RFP, the city intends for the water conservation and

shortage response plan to address water scarcity and conservation. The communitywide placemaking/ parks and recreation survey project aims to identify the public’s “vision for its public spaces.” The third project — best practices for the transit circulator — aims to study “successful route planning, rollout, route adjustments, optimal vehicle, marketing, rates, ridership, bus stops, target demographics, target destinations” and more. Current trends such as rideshare, bikeshare, e-scooters and walking will also be addressed. The fourth will study smart city technology opportunities for the city, while also analyzing emerging trends

and increasingly obsolete technology. The sustainability training module project aims to ensure city employees are “informed and equipped with the knowledge needed” for a sustainable future, using customized training. At least 150 ASU students are expected to help research and propose solutions for these five projects. But, as of print, the scoping and matching process is ongoing. “We still have a lot to do,” Russell said. “In fact, we’re just getting started. “But with this amazing team that we’ve built and some of the really exciting projects that we’ve scoped out together, we’re setting ourselves up for a really inspiring academic year.”

Most of us think police officers deserve better BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist

Running an errand this week, I watched two Phoenix police officers offer a bottle of water to a homeless man grabbing some shade outside a local grocery store. One of the officers was still there when I came out and I said what I always say when I pass a cop on the street. “Thank you for your service. Stay safe out here.” He thanked me for thanking him. We went our separate ways. The moment stayed with me, however. Remembering it called to mind a number I looked up not long ago. $31.08. That’s the average hourly wage for a police officer in Arizona, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It’s a good living in a state where the average worker makes less than $24 for an hour’s work. Police work typically comes with decent health

insurance, the opportunity to advance into management, and solid retirement benefits. It’s also a job I couldn’t imagine doing — not now, not in the 21st century, not in the present moment we find ourselves in as a Valley, a state, a nation. Not for $31.08 an hour. Not for 100 times $31.08 an hour. A caveat: As I have explained before, my day job involves helping people and organizations tell their stories and answer reporters’ questions. My clients include virtually all the state’s law enforcement organizations. That means, among other things, I am paid to help tens of thousands of cops explain the truth about their profession. It also means I generally support and respect the men and women who do the job — a job I could never fathom doing myself. Not for $31.08 an hour. My rationale for chickening out has little to do with the danger police officers face every day — though that danger has never been more real. Instead, when I think about not being

a cop, I think mainly of the frustration occasioned by working in a profession where everyone else is an expert despite never walking a day on a beat. I think, as well, of having my work judged not by what I do myself, but by the conduct of a handful of my colleagues — a minute of video here, an allegation of abuse there. I don’t think I could handle it. In fact, I doubt many of us could. Americans as a general rule value personal responsibility, individual accountability and the concept of innocence until guilt has been proven — except when we judge an entire police department or the entire profession through the lens of a single frozen moment in time. Then, instead of rational thought, the screaming begins. “The Phoenix police this.” “The Mesa cops that.” “The Tempe police this.” “The west side cops that.” Before you start screaming, please understand I am not excusing a single bad act committed by a police officer, nor am I arguing that any cop should

be above the law. Bad acts committed in uniform should be punished accordingly, using the same investigative and prosecutorial tools and laws that govern holding accused criminals responsible for their crimes. My point? That we appear to be choosing sides these days. There are those who view every police officer as inherently evil. There are those who believe wearing a badge entitles the holder to be judge, jury and executioner. Then there’s the rest of us. We think that putting yourself in harm’s way to protect a community merits respect, not disregard. We see the man, the woman, not merely the uniform, not merely the video snippet. We think that maybe cops who work an hour deserve better than 31 bucks and all the disrespect an angry mob can muster. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995.

With 12 rotating taps of craft beers and ciders and a large selection of wines, Cactus Taproom is a bring-your-ownfood establishment and encourages customers to bring lunch and dinner from other restaurants. The menu includes IPAs, pale ales, lagers, ambers, stouts and porters. It also includes a sour beer, seasonal options and hard ciders on tap or by the bottle. Cactus

Business Briefcase

Taproom is located on 20429 N. Lake Pleasant Road, Suite 104, and is open from 2 to 10 p.m. Monday through Friday, noon to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and noon to 8 p.m. on Sundays. No minors are allowed on the premises. For more information, visit cactustaproom.com. This upcoming Tuesday, July 2, the Peoria Chamber of Commerce will host July’s first Tuesday of the month networking breakfast. The event will be hosted at a new location this month and will be located at Arrowhead Valley Resort Lifestyle Communities, or 20025 N. 81st Avenue. The event is intended for chamber members and future chamber members. The networking event is purposed to mix with new Peoria chamber members, and there will be Minute to Win It games for prizes. It will take place from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m., and registration costs $15 for chamber members and $25 for future

chamber members. To register, visit peoriachamber.com/calendar. In need of some pampering? Visit Mystic Nail & Spa! Recently, Mystic Nail & Spa has moved locations and is now based out of 8815 W.

The hours are 10 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and closed Sundays. To make a reservation or for any additional information, call 623-877-5556.

Though it opened back in January, it’s still worth highlighting. Four different services are offered as single car washes or unlimited car washes.

There are also free vacuums for all customers. Mr. Shine even has an app for customers who want to manage unlimited car wash plans, buy washes in advance, send car washes as gifts and receive special offers.

Carlat names May’s business, restaurant of the month

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Mayor Cathy Carlat recently unveiled her most recent selections for business and restaurant of the month. The recipients for the month of May are Every Doggie Has Its DayCare and Wild Horse West. As longtime animal lovers, Every Doggie Has Its DayCare owners David and Sandy George opened their business more than five years ago to serve the ever-growing demand for pet boarding. They wanted to create an environment where families felt comfortable leaving their beloved pets, while creating a fun and safe place for dogs to

receive the care they deserve. Families can bring their pets for the day as a fun place to socialize while mom or dad are away at work, or they may stay overnight for short-term or long-term boarding. Each visiting dog is offered one of the 38 private boarding suites, which includes a raised bed and artwork. Families are also encouraged to bring a special blanket or toy to make their pets feel at home. The Georges offer a 3,500-squarefoot playroom that has been carefully and safely designed for dogs. The facility includes separate small and large dog areas, supervision from a trained dog lover, regulated cooling and heat-

ing, and a large indoor play area with open access to a shaded and enclosed outdoor play space. Wild Horse West owner Steve Harmon purchased his site, located three miles south of the lake on Lake Pleasant Parkway, 36 years ago, and has been steadfast to preserve the unique character of the property. Arizonaand western-themed decor adorn the walls, while classic wood picnic tables draped in checkered cloths encourage the sense of community of which Wild Horse West is known. Wild Horse West serves locally sourced brew and comfort food, and features a menu that includes items like

the Chili Size Burger, Philly cheesesteak and kosher beef frank. Wild Horse West also stocks a variety of bait and fishing supplies at its bait shop, as Lake Pleasant is just a few miles away. For more information on Wild Horse West, 8415 W. Carefree Highway, visit wildhorsewest.com. For more information on Every Doggie Has Its DayCare, 19209 N. 83rd Avenue, Suite 106, visit everydoggie.com.

Same faces, new goal for Ironwood girls’ hoops BY ERIC NEWMAN

When the Ironwood High girls’ basketball team took the court for the first time in regular summer practices, the players surrounding coach Jamie Fellows looked decidedly familiar. There were no seniors on last year’s varsity. So, the entire roster, from starters to bench players, should be back barring injury or last-minute transfers. Rather than an awkward first few days of introductions and the inevitable feeling-out process, the girls came in and got right to work. “It was comforting, knowing everybody already and knowing how we all play,” senior guard Ilicia Zamorano said. There is still plenty of room to improve. Ironwood had an overall losing record

last season, but still reached the 5A play-in round, losing to section-rival Apollo to end the year. While ultimately a bit disappointed, the girls recognized 2018-19 as a solid step on the path to success. There are still several months before the team can don their varsity uniforms in a regular-season game to capture redemption, but since last season ended, discussions have gone on between the players about how much better they can be. “We talked about how we were going to grow together all the way to the next season, and I think a lot of us are excited,” junior forward Jessica Kessler-Kline said.

Ilicia Zamorano looks to pass. (Peoria Times photo by Eric Newman)

Before Fellows joined the staff for her first season last year, the Eagles had two coaches in one season, and were in a state of flux. Now, Fellows is in her second year, and has begun to establish more of a steady culture around the team, making its members feel like they understand the program’s direction. “Last year was a building season. We have one system, one focus. It was a learning experience and now we want to start putting it all together,” Fellows said. Due to a few injuries, summer trips, and a player or two playing with other nonschool-related teams to further their college recruitment, Ironwood has not been able to see its full roster on display in June. Thus, nobody knows exactly SEE IRONWOOD PAGE 17

Local baseball players selected by teams in MLB Draft BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

Five West Valley players were selected in the 2019 Major League Baseball draft from June 3 through June 5. Mountain Ridge and Liberty high schools each boast two, while Sunrise Mountain has one. The players are Cameron Cannon, Alex Roth, Tyler Wyatt, Chandler Murphy and Emmet Flood. Two former Mountain Ridge players, Cannon and Roth, who graduated in 2016, were chosen late in the draft. Cannon was selected by the Boston Red Sox and Roth by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Cannon, a junior at The University of Arizona, was drafted in the second round, with the 43rd overall pick by the Red Sox. He played second base and shortstop in college and led the Wildcats in batting average, slugging percentage, on-base plus slugging percentage (OPS), hits, doubles and total bases in 2019. He was named to the Pac-12 team and Collegiate Baseball’s All-American Second-Team squad.

IRONWOOD FROM PAGE 16

Finally with some continuity, Fellows and her staff hope to use the remainder of this summer and the 2019-20 campaign to grow the culture at Ironwood, setting the standard for years to come. “I want to be here forever. And I want to see the program grow as much as we can while I am here,” Fellows said.

how the group will look come October. Meanwhile, role players and junior varsity contributors have had the chance to play more varsity minutes in summer competitions, without the pressure of playoffs or wins and losses meaning anything other than bragging rights or lessons to build on. “We’re able to focus more on the future of the program than the present. It gives me a chance to focus on being here a long time and developing the team for the years to come,” Fellows said. “You can see how some kids play together on the court, or how a certain kid does in a different position without it impacting wins and losses when we’re trying to get to state.” While a major goal of this season is to improve upon last year’s record with another year of training and growth under their belts, wins and losses will not de- Ironwood basketball coach Jamie Fellows watches as her players practice.

MLB DRAFT FROM PAGE 16

During the 2019 season, Roth was named the Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) Pitcher of the Year, First-Team All-GNAC, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and Division II Collegiate Director of Athletics All-West Region First Team, named to the All-West Region Team by the America Baseball Coaches Association and Rawlings, and was an honorable mention on the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association All-American team.

Both players have signed with their respective teams and will begin their pro careers at a rookie league team. Liberty’s Wyatt and Murphy were selected by the San Francisco Giants and Houston Astros, respectively. Wyatt, a 2015 graduate, just completed his senior season at Grand Canyon University with a .290 average, 37 doubles, 10 home runs and 123 runs batted in. He was a three-time All-Western Athletic Conference player and holds GCU

records in Division I games played (206), hits (192) and RBIs (123). Murphy, a 2019 graduate who has committed to The University of Arizona as a pitcher, was chosen in the 36th round (1,096th pick).

Sea lion becomes father at Wildlife World BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Crockette, a sea lion at Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park, recently became a father for the third time. In addition to Crockette’s third baby, it is mother Paris’ second. Zoo officials announced the sea lion pup’s birth in honor of Father’s Day. Sea lions are highly intelligent animals. They are known for their ability to learn complex, voluntary husbandry and medical behaviors through operant conditioning principles and positive reinforcement. In fact, Paris was already voluntarily participating in maternal husbandry behaviors, such as ultrasounds, long before the pup was conceived. By participating in her own health care, the animal care team, including two veterinarians, a veterinary technician and three specialists, is able to better monitor Paris and her unborn baby’s health. This ensures the birth of a healthy pup, while maintaining the health, comfort and well-being of mom. Wildlife World’s exhibit was carefully designed for the success of a sea lion breeding program in an effort to

maximize genetic diversity within the zoological population. With approximately 150,000 gallons of man-made salt water for the sea lions, the expanding sea lion family will have plenty of room to raise the new pup. The spacious outdoor exhibit allows

visitors to attend public educational demonstrations featuring these acrobatic animals twice a day. In addition, guests get the opportunity to feed the sea lions and participate in photo opportunities after their scheduled feeding times and shows.

Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park With more than 600 species and 6,000 animals on display, there are always new arrivals at Wildlife World. Other babies on display include a baby jaguar, a colobus monkey and several hoofed animal species, including wildebeests 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 & Aquariums, Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park receives zero taxpayer funding. No tax dollars have ever been spent to build or operate Wildlife World in its nearly 35-year history. Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & 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 5 p.m.). Aquarium exhibits are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Admission includes access to the zoo, aquarium and safari park. For more information, call 623-935-WILD (9453) or visit Wildlife World on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter @ZooWildlife, and at wildlifeworld.com.

Wildlife World’s expert sea lion care team is committed to providing the best care to their animals and engaging, informative, and fun educational experiences for visitors of all ages. In fact, each year Wildlife World offers savings for parents and schools, enabling eighty thousand students the opportunity to discover and learn about more than 600 species of birds, fish, mammals and reptiles. Like all marine mammals, sea lions are protected by the landmark legislation known as the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), passed in 1972. The MMPA makes it illegal to hunt or harass any marine mammal species found in U.S. waters. Sea lions, like many marine animals, face an uncertain future due to ocean pollution, dwindling fish stock, and competition with human activities. The energetic sea lions are seen daily at “Shipwreck Cove,” a pirate ship display with upper deck and underwater viewing. With an outdoor exhibit pool, public seating and several viewing areas, there are plenty of opportunities for guests to get an up-close and personal encounter with the sea lions.

Giraffe gives birth at Wildlife World BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium & Safari Park recently welcomed a newborn reticulated giraffe to the family. Jarabi, already standing 6 feet tall, made his debut into the world earlier this month. The playful newborn can now be seen on exhibit exploring and bonding with mom. Female giraffes have a gestation of up to fifteen months, one of the longest gestations in the animal kingdom. Deputy Director Jack Ewert said, “The calf is thriving under the close watch of his attentive mother. Over the next few weeks, keepers will continue to introduce mother and baby to the rest of the herd.” At Wildlife World’s 12-foot giraffe feeding station, visitors have a unique opportunity to feed and come face to face with the giraffes and see the newest addition to the giraffe herd. Using their 18-inch tongue and prehensile lips, these gentle giants will eat a

mouthful of pellets right out of visitors’ hands. In the wild, the giraffe population is under a lot of pressure. This is largely due to habitat loss, fragmentation, degradation, poaching and, ultimately, the growth of the human population. In 2016, the species was declared Vulnerable to Extinction on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Joining in the fight to save the giraffe population from extinction, Wildlife World has not only donated to worthy organizations working to preserve these gentle giants but has also raised 10 giraffes in the last 17 years. The giraffes are ambassadors for their species and inspire visitors to conserve and protect their wild counterparts. Mickey Ollson, the zoo’s founder, believes the success of the zoo’s internationally recognized giraffe breeding program is due to the expertise and dedication from its management, keepers, veterinary team and Arizona’s ideal climate conditions, which is similar to the savannas throughout Africa.

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).

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.

Leadership: building the airplane while it’s flying A few years ago, I was asked some questions on leadership by a graduating university student for a paper he was writing. I thought sharing what I shared with him might be helpful to you. No matter what you do or how old you are, increasing your leadership competency is always good. Everyone is a leader to some degree. I tried to think outside of the box on some of these questions. He asked me five. My responses follow. As we explore leadership, remember there is no perfect leader or type of leader. Every leader is different, developing as they lead. I call it “building the airplane while it’s flying.” Leader Bob Ehrich says, “I don’t know what leadership is. You can’t touch it. You can’t feel it. It’s not tangible. But I do know this: You recognize it when you see it.” Interesting. Now

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Columnist

let’s explore some of the heart and art of leadership. What makes a good leader? John Maxwell says a good leader needs the convictions to keep focused, the creativity to keep relevant, the foundation to keep him/her solid, and the vision or faith to keep soaring. Also, an effective leader must be able to endure pain. A leader said it this way: “My level of leadership is based on my willingness to endure pain in making diffi-

cult decisions.” One pastor says every time your church attendance doubles, 50% of your staff can’t go with you. Whether in business or church leadership, people will come and go. Many can’t endure that kind of pain, yet effective leadership requires it.

How have you grown as a leader over your lifetime? I have come to understand timing. Timing is as important as what to do and where to go. You can have the best idea ever but if it is released too soon or too late, the great idea will look like a bad idea. Alfred Sloan once said, “Success does not lie in your ability to adjust to change. Success lies in your ability to anticipate change.” In these dynamic, changing times, success will happen to those who know the times and what to do, who to do it with, how to do it, and when to do it. I have also come to understand the power of “why?” I used to give my employees talks about “what?” Here’s what we do. Here’s where we’re going. Here’s how we do it. All the time my leaders and congregation were thinking to themselves, “Why?” Why are we doing what we do? “What” is knowledge but “why” is understanding. Once those I led understood “why the what,” they moved from information to revelation, their attitude and production elevated. In today’s world, clarity is a rarity. Understanding “why” changes everything. Insight gives the best sight, especially when it’s on-sight. How important is character in leadership? As someone once said, “Vision will grow a business, but character sustains it.” Character determines success. We live in an age where talent is valued over integrity and character. One of the biggest character issues I see in many leaders is using people for their own ego-driven ends without even getting to know the person. That’s called utilitarianism. Manipulating people is always wrong — always. What people do is not who they are.

Another character issue is insecure leaders. A leader cannot lead people if he or she needs people. Leaders who need the adulation of people, who use people to feel good about themselves, disqualify themselves from objective decision making. Steve Jobs once said, “If you want to make everyone happy, don’t be a leader. Sell ice cream.” What would be your advice to me as to how I can grow as a leader? I would say understanding there are paradoxes in leadership. A good leader knows what to do in the season in which you need to do it. For example, knowing there are times when a leader must serve (Matt 20:25-28) as well as times when a leader must rule (I Tim 5:17). A leader must be confident (Matt 7:29) as well as humble (James 4:10). A leader must be a man of action (Gospel of Mark) as well as a man of prayer (Luke 18:1). A leader must have a strategy (Luke 14:28-32) and must submit to God’s will (Acts 16:1-10). Knowing when to be “what” is effective leadership in action. What should I avoid as a good leader? Letting the fact that you are a leader go to your head. Pride precedes the fall. Also, the more a leader empowers, the more that leader gains power. The converse is true also. Finally, become a person of significance rather than a person of success. Madonna is a person of success. Mother Teresa was a person of significance. Many leaders pursue success rather than significance, both to their detriment and their communities’ detriment. Conquest without contribution hurts everyone, especially the one doing it. There you go. I’ve created you a suit to wear. Now all you need to do is fill it.

Local teen to travel to NYC for National Dance Convention BY MAXIMO AGUILAR LAWLOR Peoria Times Staff Writer

For Peoria teen Natalie Frick, it seems all the years and hours of hard work and dance training has paid off. The 13-year-old Sunset Heights Elementary School student is set to travel to the Big Apple to compete in the New York City Dance Alliance (NYCDA) national convention. Though she took up dance classes at just 2 years old, she admitted she never thought she would make it this far. “I always loved to dance when I was little, and so when I was 2, (my mother) decided to put me in dance,” she said. “Our studio is really small, and I never thought I would get as far as I am.” Sharon Frick, Natalie’s mother, said the dance studio is where her daughter belonged. “I put (Natalie) in dance because that’s all she did at home. She would just dance all the time to everything, she would make routines and she would have shows, and everything was watch me, watch me, watch me. It’s kind of interesting, though, because she is shy, but she’ll go up on stage and it’s totally fine.” Natalie has been with L.A. Dance, a local studio in Peoria, since the beginning. She attributes most of her success in dance to this studio and its “phenomenal teachers,” who keep her coming back each year. “We recently got a new ballet teacher last year, and she’s definitely helped with the process with our technique,” Natalie said. “My contemporary teacher has helped me dig deeper into myself and make me feel more confident. They have all helped me put myself more out there, especially this year because I was just really shy — and I still am really shy — but they just said go for it and I finally went for it. I’ve gotten more opportunities from that.” The studio’s owner, Lora Wood, who also happens to be Natalie’s jazz teacher, has been a key figure to her success today. “I love (Lora) so much. She’s like a mom to me,” Natalie said. “She’s really believed in me and taught me to

If she receives enough votes to be in the top 20, she will have the opportunity to model for Capezio in New York. This would help Natalie break out of her shell. “I think it would be a fun experience — especially putting myself out there because I kind of hide myself,” Natalie said. Aside from NYCDA conventions, Natalie and her family traveled to Honolulu this past May, where she decided to compete in JUMP Dance Convention, produced by Break the Floor. According to Sharon, signing Natalie up paid off. “She won the outstanding dancer (in Honolulu), and it’s just amazing,” she said. “We really just went for vacation, and while we were there I was like, ‘Oh, you can do that!’ And Natalie Frick of Peoria will compete in the New York City Dance Alliance National Finale Convention this then she just won.” summer.

Locals open The Hoop Network for basketball training BY ERIC NEWMAN

Peoria Times Staff Writer

A group of about a dozen youth basketball players and a few coaches and trainers surrounded Jordan Augustine at Bourgade High School in Phoenix. The Ironwood High School varsity boys’ coach showed the group of athletes proper defensive footwork in a drill. Teaching basketball, and the life lessons that lie within the game, has always been Augustine’s focus as a coach, scout and trainer. “Every basketball drill is a leadership drill, and that’s why I love the sport so much,” he told the young boys in the huddle. And he hopes to use his platform as a leader for the good of the game and community. The camp is the manifestation of a goal to create an all-encompassing company to teach as much of the sport as possible to players and coaches of all levels. Augustine partnered with longtime trainer David Allen to form The Hoop Network around the start of May.

“It started when he wanted me to come out and help with a youth camp and his varsity team. Once he saw me work with the varsity guys, he told me he liked how detail oriented I was, and we had similar goals for the future,” Allen said. The Hoop Network is based on the idea of “do more,” according to its website, thehoopnetwork.org. That extends to the drills and lessons learned on the court. The coaches want the players to do more in their practices than just learn basketball. More than anything, The Hoop Network’s goal, in individual and group training and coaching sessions, is to provide skills necessary to succeed long after the ball stops bouncing, at whatever level is reached. “There are some kids that won’t play in high school, or won’t play in college. Who knows if some will even play for their middle school? Even if they are blessed enough to do any of that, you

play for a limited period of time. All of us do. The life skills you learn from it go much longer than the game,” Augustine said. The Hoop Network will likely host more clinics after the July club basketball season, and even has plans to host a skills camp in Utah in the future. However, both Augustine and Allen want to offer more than just in-person coaching tips as well. There are plans to start an official Hoop Network podcast on the website, which will answer questions and go over several issues facing the local basketball community, especially Arizona. The company will also upload free coaching videos for those who cannot afford a clinic session to practice drills on their own. The Hoop Network has even hosted a coaching clinic, and hopes to be able to be able to provide adults the knowledge and motivation to coach at a high level, spreading their lessons in a domino effect to the players they oversee. “We want to spread the information

everywhere we can. We have a lot of connections, and we’ve learned a lot over the years, so there’s no reason that we should hide any of it,” Allen said. Sweat dripped from the faces of the players and coaches alike as the practice ended. The players have learned several dribbling, scoring and defensive strategies in an intense-yet-encouraging environment. In a final huddle, Augustine yet again harped on leadership, telling the kids to appreciate the opportunities and be leaders in their lives. Allen nodded in agreement before nearly every player and coach slapped hands, congratulating each other’s effort. Around two months into what the pair hopes is a long journey, the base is set for The Hoop Network to have a big impact on the surrounding area, for whoever is interested. “Ultimately, if there’s a hoop, and there’s kids that want to put the work in, we’re going to have a resource for that. We welcome it,” Augustine said. For more information or to inquire about training, visit thehoopnetwork. org or call 623-418-2085.
