Possible electrocution as brothers die at lake BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF
Brothers Michael and Timothy Miller died at the Scorpion Bay Marina at Lake Pleasant Regional Park Sunday, July 12. Electrocution is a suspected “factor” in the deaths, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. The Peoria Fire-Medical Department responded to a 911 call at 6:20 p.m. Sunday at Scorpion Bay Marina. “Originally it was thought to be a drowning, turns out to be a possible electrocution accident,” said Mario Bravo, a fire department spokesman.
MCSO Sgt. Joaquin Enriquez said lake patrol deputies found Michael Miller, 50, unresponsive on the swim deck of his boat. He was transported to a hospital where he died, Enriquez said. “Michael’s brother, 53-year-old Timothy Miller, was located deceased floating under the dock,” Enriquez said. “Two additional victims who were rescued by bystanders had described symptoms similar to electrical current in the water.” Witnesses told investigators the Miller SEE LAKE PLEASANT PAGE 8

Please briefly describe your background including any relevant education and work history. Jon Edwards My work experience includes employment with two Fortune 500 companies, CompuCom and Global BPO LLC and currently Target Stores Inc. – all where I have held multiple program and project management positions. The leadership, communication and financial analysis skills that I have developed in my business career have enabled me to leverage them in our community, with active participation in both the Fletcher Heights Community and Fletcher Heights HOA for over fifteen years. John Griffin I retired as a sergeant with the California Highway Patrol in December 2018. As a CHP officer and sergeant I served an array of assignments including Road Patrol, Dignitary Protection, Governor’s Protective Detail, Office of Inspector General and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement. In these assignments I supervised uniformed and non-uniformed Departmental employees in the day to day operations and functions of the Office and Area. Being accountable and available to the citizenry and allied agencies is a task I am well versed in and welcome. What neighborhood do you live in and for how long have you lived there? Jon Edwards Fletcher Heights for 19 years. John Griffin My wife, son and I live in the Vistancia area of Peoria and have so since June 2019. Why did you choose to live here? John Griffin We moved here because it met all of the conditions that most people want and need.

John Griffin California State Sen. Melissa Melendez is the current elected official that I admire most. She is a strong conservative legislator in a highly liberal state. She has been steadfast in her commitments to constituents, a transparent leader, and fighting to save her state from ruin. She is a selfless advocate for conservative principles. What historic elected official do you most admire? What are the three biggest issues of this local election? Jon Edwards Sustainable growth, transportation, fiscal management. John Griffin In my opinion the three biggest issues of this campaign are managing growth, commensurate infrastructure and spending. Arizona, and Peoria specifically, are places that corporations, small business, and home owners are attracted to, ensuring that our capabilities maintain pace with our abilities and will make reasonable growth without placing an undue burden on current residents. What experience do you have with managing spending? John Griffin As a supervisor for the CHP I was placed in a position to assist my area (office) with spending in several aspects of budgeting including: personnel scheduling and overtime, weekly, monthly and annual services for a fleet of vehicles, training of employees, and facility maintenance which included a bid process where I was able to have the best service for the best price. In all of these functions I was, and am, well aware that I am spending taxpayer money, not mine. I was fiscally responsible then and I will continue as your city councilman. Jon Edwards Program/project manager with the same computer service company for 27 years, responsible for two Fortune 500 companies. What new ideas do you have? Jon Edwards Engage youth throughout the city in as many ways as possible. Once they feel like
their input counts as part of the community, we can tap into young minds with fresh views. I believe that we have to carefully review how our existing assets like parks, basins and roadways are aging so that we can plan with our fiscal resources. John Griffin Proven ways of conducting business should not be cast aside for the sake of trying something different, however there is always room for new ideas and personal development. As your city councilman I will seek advice from an array of individuals and other government and non-governmental leaders to ensure that the citizenry is served first and best. What is your track record and style of responding to questions from the public? John Griffin When you are in a position of authority, elected or appointed, you are expected, and rightfully so, to adhere to a high degree of personal conduct. Part of this is being available for constituents and other members of the community. I spent a career where I was on call during the middle of the night, weekends, and holidays, with questions and concerns from employees, dispatch, allied agencies and the public. I answered every call. If the public has a question for me, they will get an answer from me. Jon Edwards As often as efficiently possible, the information requested will come directly from my office. What current elected official do you most admire? Jon Edwards (no answer)
John Griffin Ronald Reagan is my all-time favorite politician. I was 15 years old when he was first elected President of the United States, I felt then that although I did not understand a lot of the things going on in the world, that it would be all right, because he was there and in charge. As an adult, his example of leadership and conservatism has guided me through every facet of my life. Jon Edwards Ronald Reagan. What is the role of the General Plan Goals and policies in your decision making on development proposals? Jon Edwards Residents vote on the General Plan and this is the time to take a long-term view of how we collectively want our city to look in the years to come. The General Plan that is approved by voters is important to me when proposals come from the development community. This where all development proposals must first be considered, and any deviations must be carefully vetted with public input. John Griffin The General Plan, a road map for growth, is the document used for growth and development in Peoria, it is approved by the voters every 10 years and I will adhere to the goals set out by the council and approved by the voters. With the amount of growth expected, and currently being implemented in the Mesquite District, the General Plan is paramount as a guide to funding growth impacts.

After another dramatic rise in COVID-19 cases in the West Valley and state, Gov. Doug Ducey ordered restaurants to reduce capacity to less than 50% and emphasized more tests were coming. The restaurant order puzzled some who were already reducing capacity. Restaurants like Oregano’s in Glendale near Peoria say they have reduced seating with extra safety measures. “We are only seating select tables throughout the restaurant to ensure our guests maintain safe distancing at all times,” Oregano’s website states. Ducey promised “an exponential increase in tests and processing tests” at a press conference. He promoted Arizona State University’s first public saliva test for the virus. “It’s going to be a drive thru in the West Valley,” he said. The ASU test launched at Ak-Chin Pavilion, in Maryvale just south of Glendale — two of the hardest-hit areas, according to the state’s “COVID-19 Cases by ZIP Code” tool. That tool showed 1,871 cases in Glendale 85301 July 14, with 2,233 cases in neighboring 85033. Glendale 85303 went over 1,000 cases, with 1,094. Peoria-Sun City 85345 had 1,241 cases with 443 in Peoria 85381 and 613 cases in Peoria 85382. Positive test results around the West Valley may increase dramatically this week, with Ducey’s emphasis on expanding testing — including the new saliva test that is billed as less intrusive than the nasal swabs. “We are excited to partner with Arizona State University to launch this new testing program that will increase our capacity to test more people for COVID-19,” said Dr. Cara Christ, ADHS director. The ASU saliva test debuted a day after Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego called for more testing in Maryvale and West Phoenix. Interviewed on MSNBC, Gallego said Abrazo Health requested refrigerated trucks to be used as emergency morgues. “It is very scary out here,” Gallego
said. “The Abrazo health care system has run out of morgue beds.” Abrazo has hospitals around the Valley, including Abrazo Arrowhead in Glendale/Peoria. But, according to Abrazo spokesman Keith Jones, “Abrazo hospitals currently have adequate morgue space. The state has requested that hospitals implement their emergency plans. Part of activating our plan includes the ability to handle overflow morgue capacity if needed. “Abrazo has taken a proactive approach by ordering refrigerated storage in the event it may be needed during a surge of COVID patients.” Though there is often a delay in reporting, the county’s daily report on COVID-19 showed a significant increase in deaths over the last few days. On June 30, Maricopa County reported 734 deaths as from COVID-19. On July 14, the county COVID-19 death total was 1,171. Over the first two weeks of July, the county report-
ed 437 COVID-19 deaths — meaning 37% of the total deaths over more than three months have been reported in the last two weeks. The recent surge in deaths underscore what Ducey called “the brutal facts of our current situation.” Even so, he ended his July 9 press conference on a positive note: “We are seeing some encouraging results,” Ducey said. “It is time to keep pressing . . .” Ducey alluded to orders by West Valley cities and Maricopa County requiring people to wear masks in public. “We are seeing some better results. The actions we took 10 days ago are making a difference,” Ducey said. “The best thing you can do is wear a mask. Make sure people know the virus is widespread and by personal decisions you can avoid contracting it. “We’re seeing some progress in Arizona. We need to see more,” Ducey said. “If you need to do something, go out and do it — and go home.”

Ten times number who tested positive could be infected
Peoria Times Managing Editor
While Maricopa County has seen a dramatic increase in COVID-19 positive cases that has landed it in the national spotlight as a “hot spot,” that is only part of the story. Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, medical director for disease control at Maricopa County Department of Public Health, told reporters last week as many as 10 times the number of people who have tested positive may be infected by the coronavirus. “Recent studies show for every one positive case reported to U.S. health

Heat relief stations in operation BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF After last weekend’s record heat, temperatures are expected to cool down — but not much. Some who don’t have air-conditioned homes will be in desperate need of heat relief. For them, the city of Peoria continues partnering with the Maricopa Association of Governments as part of the Heat Relief Regional Network. Extreme heat is the No. 1 weather-related cause of death in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. July is the deadliest month in Arizona. The Heat Relief Regional Network is a regional partnership that creates awareness of the dangers from extreme heat, coordinates resources and provides maps of the heat relief resources for those in need during the summer months. The ultimate goal of the Heat
Relief Regional Network is to prevent heat-related deaths among vulnerable populations. The city has set up the following hydration stations open every day throughout the summer. These stations are self-service, outside city buildings in the shade. Hydration stations: ·Peoria Community Center, 8335 W. Jefferson Street, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Thursday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday. ·Peoria Main Library, 8463 W. Monroe Street, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. ·Sunrise Mountain Library, 21109 N. 98th Avenue, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

departments, there are likely nine more cases that officials don’t know about,” Sunenshine said She rejected questions about where people were getting the disease. “By the time someone gets tested and is reported to public health, that person has been exposing other people for a week or more, often,” she said. “By spending time going backward to figure out the one place they’ve gotten — it doesn’t make sense because we know there’s COVID-19 is all over the community.” Contact tracing, she said, “works best when there are fewer cases and no community spread. What makes COVID-19 more challenging is the virus’ contagiousness, and because people can infect others with the virus before they begin to show symptoms and sometimes if they have no symptoms at all.” She said that, similar to national trends, more people younger than 44 are getting COVID-19. “If you are younger and healthy, it may be tempting to (think) it’s just a mild illness and you’ll get over it,” Sunenshine said. But, she noted, younger people have been sick enough from COVID-19 to be hospitalized. “You can be healthy and still be severely impacted by (COVID-19) . . . And you are just as likely to spread the illness to someone around you.

for themselves. How important is neighborhood safety, livability and compatibility in development proposal decisions?
Jon Edwards A quote I try to live by: “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” C.S. Lewis.
John Griffin Neighborhood safety, livability, and compatibility are principal considerations for any development proposal. Over developing an area, without ensuring basic public needs, like safety, is not progress and should not be implemented until those needs are met. Police, fire and EMS should be appropriately staffed to the population they serve.
Why should someone vote for you? Jon Edwards I have worked tirelessly to earn your trust and confidence. My top priority is to protect the interests and future of every Peoria resident. I take pride in being Your Voice in Peoria. My strong work ethic, passion for good government and open communication style allows me to focus on keeping our Peoria citizens informed and involved in important city decisions. I am considered an impartial and good listener, a strong researcher of facts on both sides of an issue and creative when solving city problems.
Jon Edwards Residents take these three things very seriously, and on their behalf I do as well. They have invested in their neighborhood and they expect that new development will take place with consideration for existing neighborhoods in mind. Are you supportive of selling public owned parks and open space for private development?
John Griffin A vote for me, is a vote for you. As I stated at the beginning, I am retired and not looking for a career, I am looking to make a difference. I have no endorsements, no lobbyists, no donors, I am beholden only to the voter. Since my campaign is a write-in campaign my name will not be on the ballot; the voter will have to write John Griffin on the ballot. I have said this before, and it’s true, you write me in and I will not write you off. I will listen to you, I will respond to you, I will represent you.
Jon Edwards Absolutely not. John Griffin Public parks, for me, should not be sold for private development. There is enough accessible land in our area to provide developers the opportunity to build without taking recreational areas away from our residents. How do you define integrity?
For voter registration information, contact the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office by visiting recorder.maricopa.gov/ elections or call 602-506-1511.

Funeral held for Officer Jason Judd
BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF
A funeral was held Tuesday, July 14, for Peoria Police Officer Jason Judd, who served Peoria for 21 years. Judd died July 1 in a single motorcycle collision after completing a demonstration at the Youth Citizen Police Academy at Liberty High School. Judd was transported by the Peoria Fire-Medical Department to HonorHealth Deer Valley Emergency Center, where he died from his injuries. He is survived by his wife and two sons. The funeral was held at Christ’s Church of the Valley in Peoria, followed by an honor ceremony. Due to a procession that was to follow, parts of eastbound Loop 101 and southbound Interstate 17 were closed Tuesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Judd served 11 years in the U.S. Air Force before joining the Peoria Police Department in July of 1999.

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Helicopter pilot Bryan “BJ” Boatman, a resident of Glendale, died July 7 in a helicopter crash. He was flying in supplies in a remote area of the Tonto National Forest in Gila County, where firefighters were attempting to contain the Polles Fire. To honor Boatman, Gov. Doug Ducey ordered flags at state buildings lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset Wednesday, July 8. Boatman, who was 37, is survived by his wife and an 8-year-old child. “This tragic loss is a reminder of the ever-present dangers faced by those battling wildfires,” said Ducey. “As a helicopter pilot, Bryan Boatman was carrying out a service to the people of Arizona alongside the men and women fighting the Polles Fire. He performed his duty with honor and bravery, and it will be remembered as such by our state.

“My deepest condolences go out to Bryan’s family and loved ones. Our prayers are with them and all of Arizona’s wildland firefighters working day and night to keep us safe.” On Friday, July 10, a police escort took Boatman’s body from the Florence Medical Examiner’s Office to the Heritage Funeral Chapel in Peoria.

Asked if the boat was the cause of electricity in the water, Enriquez said, “it’s possible it was the boat . . . There were no issues on Saturday, we’re trying to figure out what exactly occurred.” He called it “a complex case. “At this point in the investigation, all information and evidence obtained provides no indication of foul play.” The brothers and their wives were on the boat Saturday and Sunday, Enriquez said. “They were members of the marina for about a month,” he added. “They were always out there on the boat with their families. “We can’t 100% guarantee we have found the issue but we have found evidence there may be an electric issue that contributed as a factor to the drownings.” Enriquez stressed the investigation is continuing. “We’re looking at the marina, we’re looking at the boat, we’re looking at the surrounding boats,” he said.
brothers and their wives were on their boat at the marina when Timothy jumped in the water. “Timothy began to have issues in the water. Michael jumped into the water to help his brother and he also began experiencing a similar reaction. Timothy became unresponsive and went underwater. An additional person entered the water to help and once again experienced what was later described symptoms similar to electrical current in the water. Bystanders were able to pull Michael and the other person who tried to help from the water however Timothy was not located,” Enriquez said. The third victim - the wife of one of the brothers - survived and “described some type of electrical current in the water,” Enriquez said. He said evidence “indicated electricity in the water could be a contributing factor to this Incident.

Arizona officers made fewer Nonprofits urge Ducey to extend eviction moratorium arrests the July 4 weekend
BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Wildfire Executive Director Cynthia Zwick and 26 other Arizona nonprofit organizations sent a letter last week urging Gov. Doug Ducey to extend the moratorium on evictions through Dec. 30 for renters impacted by COVID-19. Ducey’s current eviction moratorium expires July 23. “More time is needed to connect the renters with the support,” Zwick wrote. “Aligning Arizona’s eviction moratorium with the CARES Act deadline of Dec. 30 provides agencies more time to get critical funding to those in need. “Data shows that as a result of COVID-19 over 20% of Arizonans are housing insecure because they missed last month’s rent or mortgage payment.” Zwick wrote that the Department of Housing has received more than 16,000 requests for help from the COVID-19 Rental
Assistance Program, but as of July 6, only 1,136 had been approved statewide. She noted the city of Phoenix has released $20 million to aid families affected by the crisis and Maricopa County has made another $30 million available to assist families. But, Zwick stressed, “Agencies will need more time to prevent an avalanche of pending eviction notices. ” The letter noted an extension “provides relief to these small landlords so that they may receive rent owed by their tenants.” Organizations supporting the request include Arizona Center for Economic Progress, Arizona Coalition to End Sexual and Domestic Violence, Glendale Community Action Program, United Food and Commercial Workers Local 99 and UMOM New Day Centers. According to Wildfire, 2,796 Glendale households have initiated an application for rent assistance through the ADOH

Pride Fest request discriminates against police BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist
In the stiff competition for The Dumbest Thing I’ve Heard Lately, we now have a clear winner. Phoenix Pride – the LGBTQ+ group whose vision is to build “a unified community where diverse individuals are celebrated and able to thrive as their authentic selves” – has banned uniformed police officers from participating in this year’s 40th annual Phoenix Pride Festival and Parade.

The ban, enacted “in solidarity with LGBTQ Black and Indigenous People of Color,” includes two requests made of the Phoenix Police Department. One is that PPD “use only unarmed, non-uniformed officers to manage required street closures and traffic restrictions” around the event, which draws tens of thousands of people to the area around Steele Indian School Park in midtown. Additionally, Phoenix Pride has committed to hiring “only the minimum mandated number of hand-selected off-duty officers” to provide security at the Festival Nov. 7-8. Law enforcement members who still want to participate in or attend Pride have been asked to do so “without badges, firearms, non-lethal weapons, or any other identifying gear or equipment present.” Well, I guess that rules out the cop in the Village People showing up this year, huh? The ironies here are multiple and
absurd. After 40 years of battling against discrimination and for diversity in the Valley, an organization whose P.R.O.U.D. values statement literally includes the phrase, “We celebrate and respect the fundamental values and differences in all individuals” has itself discriminated against an entire profession – a profession which itself has gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer persons among its ranks. We’ve all heard the phrase “in the closet.” It’s a phrase that has become politically incorrect over the years, in part due to the hard work of groups like Phoenix Pride, whose messages of inclusiveness and openness have resonated far beyond the communities they serve – even as far as straight old white guys like me. That’s one more reason why this decision sticks in my craw: Doesn’t it effectively stuff police officers in the closet, telling them not only are SEE LEIBOWITZ PAGE 11

Support relief for TRICARE beneficiaries
Editor: In response to the current COVID-19 outbreak, military treatment facilities and pharmacies under the Military Health System have changed and limited access to the services available to non-active duty service members, their families and retired beneficiaries.

their services not wanted, but that they can only be seen and heard if they agree to dress a certain way and, oh by the way, leave the police vehicles at home? You have to wonder what sponsors like Budweiser, Bank of America, Circle K Target and Walmart will think about this decision, given that they sell to police officers en masse. And I also have to wonder how the taxpayers of Phoenix will feel, given that the City of Phoenix is a sponsor, too, and the event takes place on city streets and in a city park. Most importantly, I wonder at the phrase that Phoenix Pride used to close their press release: That this decision has been made to “continue to proclaim that Black lives matter.” Black lives absolutely do matter. As a community, we must do everything we can to end systemic racism and to end violence against
Black men and women, boys and girls committed by rogue police officers and anyone who intends to oppress. But personally, I draw the line at discrimination intended to end discrimination. For 40 years now, Phoenix Pride and their allies have rallied beneath the rainbow flag for a reason: The rainbow embraces all colors and, thus, all people. That’s the beauty of the metaphor. No matter who you are, no matter your gender, religion, creed or race, your career or your uniform, no matter who you love and who loves you, everyone has a place beneath that gorgeous arch of every color. Until this year, until this parade and festival. My take? A rainbow without police blue is no rainbow at all. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@leibowitzsolo.com.

An article in the July 9 Peoria Times on the Peoria Unified School District’s reopening plans should have said, “After students are allowed to return to classrooms, PUSD has a contingency plan, if needed for students to be split into two groups to limit the number of students in the buildings.”

Outreach program for small businesses with new signs BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The city of Peoria Small Business Task Force has launched a second phase of the business outreach to provide support and tools to Peoria businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. “Our incredible partnerships with ASU, SBDC and the Peoria Chamber of Commerce continue to serve as important emergency conduits for our business community,” said Mayor Cathy Carlat. “Our first phase of the banner program proved helpful, and with information changing and moving quickly, we want to be a steady source of support for our businesses” New banners, tabletop signs, a safety webpage and social media graphics have
been created for Peoria businesses to use to help promote their services and products as well as convey the safety protocols in place. There are two banner options businesses can choose to display outside of their business based on their service availability. One sign says “We’re Open” and another says “We’re Open Virtually.” “The banners are green to indicate to passersby that these Peoria businesses are open and ready to serve customers as well as what they are doing to maintain healthy, safe environments,” said Carlat. Business owners can learn more or request free marketing materials at peoriaaz.gov/business/small-business-taskforce. In March, the city of Peoria partnered
with the Peoria Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Development Council (SBDC) and Arizona State University Entrepreneurship Plus Innovation to form the task force and help local businesses navigate the challenges of the pandemic. One of the first actions taken by the task force was delivering free, red banners to all restaurants to display their service availability during the lockdown. The Small Business Task Force is continuing that effort by providing more free printed and digital marketing materials to build awareness of what the business community is doing to protect their customers. Now businesses can use the red and green banners at any time to communicate whether they are open or closed, what services are available and how they are meeting the recommended health

As training camp begins, Coyotes must take on playoff mentality BY MIKE MCQUADE Cronkite News
Playoff hockey is arguably the most electric postseason in all of sports, a grueling four rounds and best-of-seven series that culminates with lifting the Stanley Cup. This NHL postseason, however, is going to be different for players who have been off the ice for two months. The regular season was cut short on March 12 due to COVID-19 concerns, but on May 26 commissioner Gary Bettman shared a 24-team playoff proposal that paved the way for training camp to start this week. The Arizona Coyotes landed in the 24-team playoff based on their points percentages at the time the season was suspended. They are one of 16 teams participating in a best-of-five play-in series and will face off against the Nashville Predators. The NHL postseason is scheduled to start Aug. 1. Several news outlets have reported Edmonton and Toronto will be the hub cities for the playoffs. Several U.S. cities, including Las Vegas, were considered to host but a spike of COVD19 cases in the country prompted the league to put its postseason in the north. Despite the 11th-seeded Coyotes splitting their last 10 games, coach Rick Tocchet says his energy is focused on the playoffs and not the chosen format. “Playing Nashville, great organization, great team, so it’s gonna be a great matchup,” he said. “That’s all my focus is on. The opinions of what’s fair and not … doesn’t really matter at this point. I just look at our team and worry about our hockey club, to be honest.” The Predators are a No. 6 seed for the postseason tournament. In their last 10 games, they went 6-3 with a three-game winning streak before the season was suspended. They split the
series with the Coyotes in October and December. Coyotes center Derek Stepan is thankful for the second chance and being able to compete in playoff hockey. He is also excited for the eight players on the Coyotes roster that are under 25. “I’m looking forward to having some of our younger guys get in a head to head,” he said. “You match up against the same guy every single night.” Yet, with being off the ice for two months, players are trying to ramp up their physical health and mental game. Starting goaltender Darcy Kuemper believes quarantine is a time when players need to stay focused. “As much as it looks like it’s a long time away, it’s going to go by fast and skates are going to be limited,” he said. “So it’s just taking advantage of every day you’re on the ice and really buying into the situation.” Kuemper was a key figure for the Coyotes, who finished 33-29-8 with 74 points. He ranked third in goals against average with a 2.33 and a save percentage of .928. Even while giving his body a break, Kuemper found ways to stay mentally sharp.
“Yeah, even a couple times where, you know, I’ve turned on that NHL Network or whatever, just watch an old game,” he said. “It doesn’t matter who is playing, just watch the game and keep your mind kind of into it as best you can.” Kuemper has remained in Arizona despite the rise of COVID-19 cases. Other players, including right winger and two-time Stanley cup winner Phil Kessel, went to his home in Florida for a few weeks. He then came back to the Valley when the Coyotes announced players were able to return to Gila River on June 7 and said he felt ready to go. But the biggest challenge Kessel sees in this playoff format is you need to be full speed as soon as your blades touch the ice.
“I don’t know how many exhibition or preseason games we’re going to have,” Kessel said. “But like I said earlier, I think the team that gets into it the fastest, can get into that shape and play well, I think they got a big advantage.” Kessel has veteran playoff experience that he can share with the young core. While winning the Stanley Cup with the Penguins, Kessel notched 22 and 23 points in the postseason. This year’s playoffs are a little different because of COVID-19 but it does not change the team’s drive. “I think you know, without fans and everything, it’s gonna be strange. But, I think guys know what they’re playing for and we all want the chance to win,” Kessel said.
Coyotes announce roster, schedule for practice BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF WRITER On July 11, Arizona Coyotes President of Hockey Operations and General Manager John Chayka provided the roster and schedule for the first week of
Coyotes training camp to start July 13. All training camp practices will be held at Gila River Arena and are closed to the public. On-ice practices started July 13 and were to continue Thursday, July 16,
through Sunday, July 19 — with a day off on Friday, July 17. The Coyotes will have 32 players participate in training camp including four goalies, 17 forwards and 11 defensemen.

Federal CARES Act Funds provide Peoria closes recreation and relief to Arizona arts organizations community centers BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Across the state, federal relief funds are coming to Arizona communities to support nonprofit arts and culture organizations experiencing significant hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since July 1, 107 grants totaling $1.72 million have been announced. Statewide grantees TheaterWorks, a community/youth theater organization in Peoria, Catitude Gallery and Studio, a community arts center in Goodyear, a performing arts center in Wickenburg, a symphony orchestra in Yuma, Prescott’s Museum of Indigenous Peoples, Phoenix’s historic Black Theatre Troupe and arts centers in Bisbee and Kingman. The grants are funded through a $75 million allocation to the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act. The Arizona Commission on the Arts announced the recipients of its AZ CARES grants. Each of the 86 recipients will receive $5,000. According to the Arts Commission’s Organizational Programs Manager, Claudio Dicochea, “Because artists and creatives are the engines that propel much of the value that organizations make available to their communities, AZ CARES builds on the foundation provided by the

NEA in focusing on organizations that are centering or upholding commitments to creative workers—artists, makers, tradition bearers, educators, designers, and other content creators—during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.” The Arts Commission gave grants to 55% of the eligible applications submitted for this relief opportunity. Dicochea acknowledged many worthy organizations who applied and were not selected for funding. “This is strictly an outcome of the amount funds available to distribute through this particular relief program and is by no means a reflection of the quality of an organization’s programming or the depth of their need.”
After Gov. Doug Ducey’s latest executive order, the city of Peoria closed the Rio Vista Recreation and Peoria Community Center “to protect the health and safety of city employees and residents,” according to a press release. On June 29, Ducey issued Executive Order 2020-43, which prohibits large gatherings, ceases the issuance of new special event licenses and pauses the operations of bars, gyms, movie theaters, waterparks and tubing rentals for one month. “In accordance with this executive order and the health guidelines provided by the Arizona Department of Health Services and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on facial coverings, social distancing and personal hygiene to help slow the spread of COVID-19, the Rio Vista Recreation Center and Peoria Community Center will be closed effective immediately until July 27,” said the release. The social services provided through the Community Assistance Resource Center will continue to be accessed by appointment only. The existing hydration stations, virtual classes and home delivered meals and curbside meal pickups will continue at the Peoria
Community Center as well. Programs and services at city pools and libraries will continue in limited capacities. “Splash pads remain closed and swim lessons will continue at the Peoria and Sunrise Pools, with additional physical distancing and cleaning standards in place,” according to the release. At the Peoria libraries, online access to digital library books, audio books, streaming video and music is available to those with a Peoria library card. Sunrise Mountain Library will have limited, lobby-only hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday (closed Sunday). The Peoria Main Library will have limited hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Facial coverings and social distancing will be required with fewer than 10 people allowed in the library lobbies at a time. All materials will go through quarantined protocols for sanitation and curbside delivery and bookdrops will be available during operating hours. For information, visit peoriaaz. gov/library.

We don’t need amplification, we need more clarity CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION
Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Columnist
Recently I was talking to my 96-year-old, hearing-challenged father about his new hearing aids. He hates wearing them because, in his generation, hearing aids were often a sign of weakness. Plus, the hearing aids of those days were obvious and ugly. But those issues are just small potatoes compared to what he is most concerned with. He wants to hear with clarity again. My father is 96, but his mind is sharp and agile. He identified something about his new hearing aids that caught my attention and turned into insight. Here’s what he said, “The problem with today’s hearing aids is that I get amplification, when what I need is clarity.” He nailed it. Do you know what? That same concept is needed today, not just in a hearing aid sense, but also in a cultural, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual sense. Most everything in our sight and sound stimulated, short sound bite, agenda-driven world, is turned up to its highest volume. We have loud amplification when what we need is clarification about today’s news and issues. In other words, when you don’t have quality, you give quantity. In today’s world, clarity is a rarity. Imagine you were born in 1900. On your 14th birthday, World War I starts. That war ends on your 18th birthday. About 20 million people perish in that war. Later in the same year, a Spanish Flu epidemic hits the planet and runs until your 20th birthday. At least 50 million people die from it in those two years. Yes, 50 million. On your 29th birthday, the Great Depression begins. Unemployment hits 25%, the World GDP drops 27%. That runs until you are 33. The country nearly collapses along with the world economy. Don’t try to catch your breath when you turn 39 years old, World War II starts. On your 41st birthday, the United States plunges into WWII. Between your 39th and 45th birthday, 70 to 85 million peo-
ple perish in the war. At 50, the Korean War commences, and 5 million people die. At the age of 55, the Vietnam War begins and doesn’t end for 20 years. Four million people perish in that conflict. On your 62nd birthday, you live through the Cuban Missile Crisis, a tipping point in the Cold War. Life on our planet, as we know it, should have ended. Great leaders prevented that from happening. When you turn 75, the Vietnam War finally ends. Think of everyone on the planet born in 1900. How do you survive all of that? Think back when you were a kid in 1985 or later and didn’t think your 85-year-old grandparents understood how hard school was. Or how condescending the bully in your class was. Or how you didn’t get what you wanted on your 10th birthday. Yet, they survived through everything listed above. Your issues may seem to you like huge issues, but are minor issues compared to someone born in 1900. We need their life’s experience and perseverance. Young people, if you think you see more than previous generations, it’s because you are sitting on their shoulders. The generations before you weren’t perfect. They weren’t saints. They operated at the level of their culture and perspective at that time. Let me repeat it. The only reason that you may see more than they did is that you are sitting on their shoulders. You have the advantage of their perspective, although that perspective needs some correction in essential areas that you will correct. Don’t disdain the foundation on which you are currently living. The epitome of arrogance is to judge and condemn previous generations by the standards of today. Arrogance isn’t thinking too much of yourself but thinking too little of others. If you eliminate the contributions (both positive and negative) of past generations, you will lower yourself. You lose the advantage of their perspective and history lessons. Dare I say you will repeat the same mistakes they made, but with different victims. Let’s try and keep things in
perspective. Let’s be smart and help each other out. Here’s a lesson for the new generation as you start your journey: If you see a turtle on a fence, it’s for sure he had help to get there. Here’s another lesson: Learn from other people’s mistakes, the second mouse gets the cheese. You can’t learn from others’ mistakes if you eliminate history. Each generation builds on the previous generation’s foundation. Each new generation sees more because others gave them the future. Sitting on top of someone’s shoulder gives a clearer perspective, a better view, and the next steps to take. Don’t eliminate history. Learn from history. Don’t reject history or try to make it disappear just because it offends your current sensibilities. Allow history to teach you to chew up the meat (strengths) and spit out the bones (weaknesses) of previous gener-
ations. Take the best and upgrade the rest for everyone’s best. That’s called wisdom. Learn from the past, so you can live in the present, to upgrade the future. The past is a guidepost, not a hitching post. The past is a reference, not a residence. The past is a teacher, teaching us our victories and our mistakes. If it’s a wrong thing like real and tangible injustice, we fix it with real-life solutions. We are not the problem. We are the solution. We make history, but we make a history worth making. That will take clarity, not just amplification. Jesus said the kingdom of God consists of things both old and new. We could learn from that!

White House calls for quick return to school BY ELLIE BORST Cronkite News
A White House panel of parents, teachers and school administrators said last week that reopening schools this fall should be the nation’s top priority, for the wellbeing of students and parents and as a move to “stabilize our society.” But while the panel pushed for schools reopening “quickly and beautifully in the fall,” as President Donald Trump put it, some teachers and parents in Arizona said they worry that schools here will not be able to find safe ways to do it. “As a mom and as a teacher, I want my kids to be with their friends. I know that in-person is better for them,” said Dawn Penich-Thacker, communications director for Save Our Schools Arizona. “But they (Arizona schools) can’t afford to keep my kids safe,” said Penich-Thacker, who worries that Arizona schools do not have the tools to make a safe return. “I see it from the inside that there are not enough resources.” Gov. Doug Ducey last week ordered
the start of in-person classes in Arizona pushed back to Aug. 17, one of several steps he took in the face of spiraling increases in the state’s COVID-19 cases. While the delay gives schools more time to prepare for schooling in the face of the coronavirus, it also means that schoolkids will have spent more than five months away from a classroom. That’s five months of teachers and students adjusting to online education, five months of school systems scrambling for resources and five months of harried parents juggling jobs, housework and their kids’ educations. “As a single mom, this situation is ripping me to shreds,” Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots and one of the White House panelists. “I’m doing the very best I can to take care of them (my two children) … and run a company and work,” said Martin, a Georgia resident. “It’s impossible.” Martin said the return to school could “stabilize our society.” But she and others at the panel worried that continued absence from school will make the traditional “summer slide” in schoolkids’ learning even worse.

Lynette Stant, a third-grade teacher at Salt River Elementary School and Arizona’s 2020 Teacher of the Year, said she is eager to see her students again after leaving them in March and going months without seeing them. But she said student safety needs to be a priority. “The health of our state is really critical,” she said. “And even though my teacher heart is broken, we all need to get healthy.” As a member of the Navajo Nation and teacher in an Indigenous community, Stant has seen how COVID-19 has “infected communities like wildfire.” Arizona Parent Teacher Association President Sergio Chavez agreed, saying that the safety of the students is the PTA’s “no. 1 priority.” And right now, Chavez said, schools are not equipped to ensure a safe return. “There is no way to actually have them secure. There is no magic wand to wave and say, ‘OK, this is going to be safe,’” Chavez said. “Sending them
to school, you’re endangering everybody.” Penich-Thacker, who is a substitute teacher for special education students in the East Valley, said she plans to keep her own children, ages 9 and 11, out of school and taking their classes online for the year. “I’m heartbroken over it,” she said. “They’re disappointed, I’m disappointed and I know it’s not going to be the education that they would get in-person. But I also know that any public school in Arizona is incapable of meeting CDC guidelines. We simply can’t afford it.” In ordering a delay to the school year, Ducey also said the state would direct $270 million in coronavirus relief funds to schools, with the bulk of that money, $200 million, going to support school budgets in the face of dwindling enrollment. But Chavez and Penich-Thacker both think it will not be enough. The fundSEE SCHOOL PAGE 20

ing only “helps stop the bleed,” Penich-Thacker said. “It doesn’t allow for anything extra,” she said, pointing to the cost of personal protective equipment, proper staffing and creating space to ensure social distancing in already packed classrooms if schools want to meet Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Penich-Thacker said she knows she is one of the lucky ones, as she has a flexible job that will let her keep her kids at home. “If keeping my kids out of the classroom means there’s two more seats for kids to be spread out who have to be there, that’s good,” she said. But not everyone can – or will want to, Stant said. “I’ve heard from some families and students saying, ‘I’m not ready to go back. I’m scared,’” she said. “But I’ve also heard from families that say, ‘I don’t know what I’m going to do about childcare.’” Even though Stant said she is excited by the thought of reuniting with her students this fall, she said she would support pushing back the Aug. 17 in-person start date and continue with online learning if Arizona does not get the virus under control by then. “Let’s move cautiously. Let’s continue to remain fluid. Let’s continue to put the health and safety of our students and our families and our educators at the forefront,” she said.
