APS releases report on explosion cause BY TOM SCANLON
Peoria Times Managing Editor
A chain reaction “cascading thermal runaway” led to an explosion that injured four Peoria firefighters, according to an Arizona Public Service (APS) report. The report, released Monday, July 27, lists “five main contributing factors that led to the explosion.” Among the five factors: An explosion at an APS solar battery facility caused by a “cascading thermal runaway” chain reaction injured Peoria • “The fire suppression system was firefighters Matt Cottini, Justin Lopez, Jake Ciulla and Capt.

Closing arguments: Candidates ask for votes BY TOM SCANLON
Peoria Times Managing Editor
Peora voters will help narrow down a big field, as the Aug. 4 primary election has three Democrat candidates for the 8th Congressional District. Rep. Debbie Lesko was the only Republican to file in District 8, which includes Peoria, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park and Waddell. The three Democrats on the primary ballot for the 8th Congressional District: Michael Muscato of Peoria, Bob Musselwhite of Litchfield Park and Bob Olsen of Surprise. Kyle Martin of Glendale filed as a write-in candidate.
The Peoria Times emailed the candidates questions. Here is the second part of their answers: What is your track record and style of responding to questions from the public? Debbie Lesko: My No. 1 priority is helping my constituents. Constituents have told me that they are very pleased with my office’s outreach and responsiveness to their concerns and needs. Michael Muscato: I believe that accountability and availability to constituents is the duty of being a representative. I was proud to host three public, in-person town halls prior to
COVID-19 taking place, and I am regularly available via Zoom town halls and Facebook Live to answer unscreened questions on the spot. Bob Musselwhite: As a city manager my first priority each day was to talk directly to the citizens who had the complaints. I asked that complaints be directed straight to me. That is the key to public service, and it is where the answers can be found as to the effectiveness of the effort the organization is making. Such an attitude is also a signal to all those employed that the citizen comes first. I was taught in public administration school that the
press is the fourth pillar of the government; and I believe the public deserves to know what is being done, and that is best accomplished with honest answers. Our press is an institution of democracy and should be treated that way. Bob Olsen: My style is to listen first to what the public is asking or demanding, and then respond in an open and honest way. If I don’t have the answer at the time of the question, I will research it and contact the person or organization with the best answer I can deliver. Most of my adult life has involved interacting with the public.

As a police officer and firefighter, I was often asked about safety and the accountability of myself and my organization. What current elected official do you most admire? Bob Musselwhite: I admire elected officials that have courage to speak for the needs of the public without hesitation or regard for their own political life. Mayor Kate Gallego comes to mind here in Maricopa County. Sheriff Paul Penzone is an impressive public servant. Sen. Chuck Schumer is impressive to me, because he articulates well and he has not added up a personal fortune during his long time in the U.S. Senate. Michael Muscato: At this point, I’ll take the side of any elected official who makes decisions based on guardianship, not partisanship. Time for new people in office. Debbie Lesko: I most admire all elected officials that have served in our U.S. military to serve our country and are now continuing their service to our community and nation. Bob Olsen: I admire U.S. Rep Adam Schiff because of his willingness to perform his duties, even in the face of aggressive attacks from the president and Republicans. How do you define integrity? Bob Musselwhite: The foundation of integrity is honesty. Based on that, your word is important to keep, and it is also important that an individual’s honesty and word can be counted on no matter what. What is fair and just also folds into the question of integrity and being counted on to always do what is fair and just. Bob Olsen: For me integrity has always meant being honest in my work and when dealing with others. I have always been willing to acknowledge my mistakes, take responsibility for them, and accept the consequences for my actions. Debbie Lesko: Honesty. Michael Muscato: Being someone who lives by and stands up for the values, principles and standards they preach to others. We could use better character, values and morality in office right now.
NEWS
Why should someone vote for you? Michael Muscato: I believe the job of Congress is to represent the people of the district and not just a political party and its leadership. There is no candidate more suited to represent this district than me. I’m born and raised here. Everything I am and everything I will be is right here with my hometown. I believe that our hometowns and our country are always worth fighting for. Regardless of political party, each and every person here in CD8 can rest knowing I will be working as hard as I can to make our lives better for everyone. Debbie Lesko: I believe people should vote for me because I am hardworking, honest, care for my constituents, have the experience, and I stand up for the principles and freedoms that have made our nation great. Bob Musselwhite: I believe that I have a good education and rounded experience in public service and understand what it should be about. I also have experience in private business. I believe you can look at my record and find a lifetime of integrity and commonsense
problem solving. I also will not be diverted from our American ideals by the call of personal aggrandizement. I believe that my age, 68, is pretty close to the age of many who reside in CD8, and so I believe I am a match for the people who live here. I understand what good government should be, and due to my experience here, I understand our people. Bob Olsen: I have a lifetime of experience dealing with and resolving tough problems. As a veteran, first responder and attorney, I have developed a strong ethic of taking problems head-on and working hard towards a solution. In life this often requires well-thought-out and developed compromise, while staying true to your beliefs, in order to move organization or process forward. I have the skills, the experience and the desire to be the next U.S. representative for Congressional District 8. I will fight for the West Valley and for each and every one of you. Elect me and help me lead Arizona into the future. See Page 7 for polling and drop box locations.

District 21 senate seat, but then withdrew from the race. The Peoria Times sent questions to the candidates on their backgrounds and priorities. Here are the answers of those who responded: Please briefly describe your background, including any relevant education and work history. Rick Gray: I was born and raised in the heart of the Midwest, Omaha, Nebraska. On my first visit, I fell in love with Arizona and shortly afterward moved to the Phoenix area. I contributed to the Arizona economy by starting a small business. I graduated from Grace University, earning a Bachelor of Science degree. I am happily married. Lisa and I attend Christ Church of the Valley and are blessed to call Arizona their home. In January 2018, I was appointed to the Arizona State Senate. On Nov. 6, 2018, I was elected to this position and serve as the Senate majority leader. Ryan Eldridge: In my younger years I coached Special Olympics in Tucson for about 10 years. I was a small-business owner for 10 years. My business was closed due to economic factors, and I tried everything I could to keep it open. My company was ranked in Ranking Arizona as one of the top 10 security firms for several years. My business was listed in the Phoenix Business Journal as one of the largest security agencies in Arizona. I have managed security companies for almost 20 years with staff from 30 offi-
cers to 400 officers. I have been a certified armed and unarmed security guard trainer for several years, teaching hundreds of officers. I am an NRA Certified Instructor. What neighborhood do you live in and for how long have you lived there? Rick Gray: I live in Sun City and have lived here for 14 years. Ryan Eldridge: I live in Peoria near 83rd Avenue and Cactus. I love my neighborhood. My neighbors are very caring and seem to really care about each other. My neighborhood is quiet, and we all work together to keep an eye out for each other. What are the three biggest issues of this local election? Ryan Eldridge: Where have our elected officials been during our current crisis? Why have they not been standing up for our constitutional rights and protecting our businesses? We are in danger of our state turning blue. We need to band together and vote Republican and protect our rights. We also need to vote Republican for candidates that embody Republican values and not their pocketbooks. As you can clearly see, the nation is hurting and the Democratic Party is doing nothing but enabling the behavior of those causing damages and destroying property. Arizona needs leadership that is not afraid to step up to those infringing on our rights. Rick Gray: The top issue facing the people that I talk to seems to be concerns about the COVID-19 issue and how it

has impacted the economy, especially peoples jobs. I have done a lot of work helping people get their unemployment checks. Our state budget has also been impacted, and we are working to make sure we can maintain our support for our education system. What experience do you have with managing spending? Rick Gray: Outside of being a former business owner and handling all those finances, I have also served in the Legislature since 2011. I came in after the Great Recession; and we had worked to revive our economy, which we did, including bringing back 300,000 jobs to our state. Ryan Eldridge: I am a former small-business owner of 10 years. I have also managed several businesses where I oversaw many aspects, including spending. What new ideas do you have? Ryan Eldridge: We need to look at all taxpayer-funded programs to look at buying services and products from Arizona-owned businesses before they look outside the state. It is proven that spending local keeps more money in the community and creates jobs which goes with my campaign platform: Arizona Focused, Local First. Rick Gray: I have been working on adopting a long-term strategic plan for our Legislature. Because everyone has two-year terms, we can tend to be more reactive than proactive, and we are not always planning in the 10- to 20-year time
frame, which I think is necessary. We might not be able to accomplish it all ourselves, because legislators do not stay in office that long, but it would give direction for future legislators. Why should someone vote for you? Rick Gray: I have a long record to look at that shows the values I stand for and the goals I am pursuing. You can see it in my voting record, the organizations I am involved with, and the work I do in and for my community. If you want me to continue working for you, then I ask for your vote. Ryan Eldridge: We need to focus on fixing Arizona and taking care of the people of Arizona. During this “crisis” we are experiencing, our elected officials, especially those in my district, have not stepped up to protect the rights of Arizona and the people. They have not come to the aid of the small businesses that have been forced to shut. They have not stepped up to protect our constitutional rights. I am a firm believer when there is a situation at hand, leaders need to get in front of the people, especially those that elected them into the office they serve and protect their rights, do their best to serve the office they took an oath for. I promise that if elected I will work every day to protect your rights. To do everything that is within my power to fight for every one of you, not just my district, because we are Arizona and we are all in this together. Vote write-in candidate Ryan Eldridge State Senate District 21.

and smoke. “The initiating cell’s thermal runaway cascaded into thermal runaway of neighboring cells … and subsequently into the batteries contained within neighboring modules.” The melting battery cells “created a flammable atmosphere within the BESS,” according to the report. When the BESS fire suppression system was activated, APS was automatically notified and in turn contacted a contractor, which sent an engineer to investigate, according to the report. The engineer saw smoke and called 911 at 5:40 p.m.—nearly an hour after the fire suppression system was automatically activated. According to the report, firefighters were on scene within 10 minutes of the 911 call. Members of the Peoria Fire-Medical Hazardous Materials Response (“hazmat”) team were called to assist at the facility near Deer Valley Road and Grand Avenue. At 8:02 p.m., the Peoria firefighters opened a door and entered the battery facility, which is about the size of a shipping container. Two minutes later, an explosion injured Capt. Hunter Clare, Engineer Justin Lopez and firefighters Matt Cottini and Jake Ciulla. All four were hospitalized. Lopez sustained nose, skull, rib, right-leg tibia and fibula fractures as well as a collapsed lung. Clare suffered bilateral ankle and thoracic fractures and multiple burns and lacerations. Cottini suffered head and jaw lacerations and burns as well as a knee injury. Ciulla received minor burns and lacerations. Four Surprise firefighters also were
Chain reaction According to the report, “The suspected fire was actually an extensive cascading thermal runaway event. … It is believed to a reasonable degree of scientific certainty that this internal failure was caused by an internal cell defect. “The uncontrolled cascading of thermal runaway from cell-to-cell and then module-to-module in Rack 15 led to the production of a large quantity of flammable gases within the BESS.” The report states that, three hours after the chain reaction began, “the BESS door was opened by firefighters, agitating the remaining flammable gases and allowing the gases to make contact with a heat source or spark.” The facility was equipped with a “total flooding” clean agent fire suppression system. When the facility went into use in 2017, “clean agent systems were a common method for managing fire suppression in energy storage containers,” according to the APS report. “In an August 2017 letter to the NFPA … clean agent manufacturer 3M stated that clean agents could not prevent or suppress cascading thermal runaway in Lithium-ion battery systems,” the report states. “While this statement was made more than a year after the design of the McMicken BESS, it was not widely circulated.” According to APS, the BESS site uses lithium-ion batteries with a function of “integrating solar energy resources in an area with high rooftop solar penetration and grid services including voltage regulation and power quality.”

District 22 candidates talk issues BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The Aug. 4 primary election will narrow down a field of candidates in state District 22. On the ballot for reelection is Sen. David Livingston, who faces a challenge from fellow Republicans Van DiCarlo and Hop Nguyen. Sarah Tyree is the lone Democrat candidate for the District 22 Senate seat. Incumbents Frank Carroll and Ben Toma are on the Republican ballot for the District 22 House of Representatives seat, with Wendy Garcia and Mary “Kathleen” Honne on Democrat ballots. The Peoria Times emailed questions to the candidates. Here are the answers of those who replied: Please briefly describe your background, including any relevant education and work history. Sarah Tyree: A native of Arizona, I grew up in Maryvale, in a single parent home, surviving abuse and poverty. I graduated
from Trevor Browne High School at the age of 17. After graduating, I joined the United States Army and served our great country for eight years. At 21, I received my first degree in social work, followed by a second in political science. I then earned a master’s degree in social work. After college, my work in the nonprofit sector allowed me to work with legislators in Tennessee and Utah, providing knowledge, testifying in committee hearings and writing bills that now help provide safety and security for constituents. I have also served as a state-level family consultant, youth corrections officer, therapist and special needs coordinator for military families. David Livingston: After I received my B.S. degree in finance from ASU, I went into mortgage banking and then into the financial world. Working 20-plus years as a financial planner and owning my own franchise of Amerprise Financial allowed me to focus on all aspects of stock trades with a focus on wealth management and insurance.
Kathleen Honne: I am a third-generation Arizonan.

one of the best hearing-room questioners I have ever seen. Sarah Tyree: U.S. Rep. Lowry Snow (R-Utah). While being conservative and fiscally responsible, he believes in and fights for social justice and to ensure we end the school to prison pipeline. I support and appreciate when people, regardless of party affiliation, fight for the good of the people. David Livingston: (Phoenix City Councilman) Sal DiCicio is a real fighter in Phoenix with spirit and spunk, and he’s not afraid to call it like he sees it for those he represents.
Why should someone vote for you? Kathleen Honne: I am the best candidate to represent our children’s future. I want to earn the votes of every voter in Legislative District 22 because they believe in my mission. I encourage everyone to check out my platform. When someone reaches out for help, I show up. As an example, the Happy Valley area has a waste transfer station proposed in their backyards. It’s just a bad idea. It isn’t a legislative issue, but these are my

neighbors. A running mate and I have helped them navigate the system to oppose the massive corporation who don’t care about them. I will do the same for you, for your children, and for your small business. I am running a grass roots campaign. Anyone wishing to get involved—independent, Republican, Libertarian, Green Party or Democrat—is welcome. Please fill out a volunteer form on my website. David Livingston: I ran for office as a conservative who would look after people’s safety, their liberty and their pocketbooks. I was just rated the No. 2 conservative in the entire state Senate behind another great legislator who is retiring, so I’ve got my eyes set on that No. 1 spot. The takeaway for voters is that I am looking after them, I am keeping my word, and I can be trusted to fight for the things that they sent me to the state capital to fight for. That includes life, our Constitution, our rights like the Second Amendment, school choice, low taxes and less regulation, a balanced budget and strong economy, improved health care, and all of the rest.

John Lewis is a legend to look to in trying 2020
BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist
When it comes to bad years, it’s pretty tough to top 1347. That was the year the Black Death kicked into overdrive, contaminating major cities in Europe and Asia. Ultimately, that epidemic killed more than 50 million people over the next few years. By any estimation, that’s an epically horrendous year. Though 2020 seems ready to jump up and shout, “What, you think that’s miserable? Dude, hold my beer.” One measure of tracking how awful a year is tracking the folks we lose over time. 2020 started off on a downer note just a few days after New Year’s when brain cancer took Neil Peart, the drummer and lyricist from Rush. If you’re a rock fan between the ages of 20 and Methuselah, you’ve madly air drummed
in time to Peart’s riffs in “Tom Sawyer” or the instrumental “YYZ.” Named the fourth-greatest drummer ever by Rolling Stone, Peart was only 67 when he passed. Speaking of too young, three weeks later 2020 took Kobe Bryant and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash that killed nine people in all. Bryant, 41 at the time of his death, arguably belongs on the NBA’s Mount Rushmore as a five-time champion, an 18-time All Star and the league’s 2008 Most Valuable Player. Personally, I loved to despise Bryant, but there’s no denying he was a transcendent talent. By March, 2020 shifted from targeting famous people to killing the masses. You can blame the COVID-19 fatalities on a

perfect storm: a lethal virus meeting clueless elected leaders and an inattentive populace, or you can chalk it up to 2020 doing more 2020 things. The pandemic count at press time? Over 15 million cases worldwide and 620,000 dead. I’ll spare you the latest from Arizona, which seems determined to add World COVID Champion 2020 to that lonely Arizona Diamondbacks 2001 World Series crown. On the positive side, I’m halfway through this column and I haven’t mentioned President Trump. I’m trying to stay away from that subject to cut down on my hate mail. Plus, there’s the folks who track me down online to let me have it every time I mention the president. Had Donald Trump been king in 1347, I absolutely believe his court jester would have put out a parchment press release longer than the Silk Road. It would have labeled the Black Death the “Mongol Flu” and proclaimed that the world was “better off without that other half of the population, because they weren’t our best people anyway.” Then Trump would have raided France and given himself credit for “ending the
100 Years War more than 90 years ahead of schedule.” I still wouldn’t put that past him if things get desperate heading into Election Day. Meanwhile, 2020 continues to pick off some of America’s best and brightest. Hugh Downs, as smart and classy a newsman as has walked God’s green earth, passed away July 1 in Scottsdale. Downs was everything today’s network anchor clowns are not: fair, strong minded and able to probe without being a jerk. Strength was also the hallmark of civil rights icon John Lewis, 80, who left us last week at a moment when we need his dignity and unerring instinct for justice. Lewis was 23 when he spoke at the 1963 March on Washington. He survived police batons, segregationist attacks and 33 years in Congress to emerge a legend. I don’t imagine Lewis quit a day in his life, which is inspiration enough not to give up on 2020. This year is surely a test, however. And to this point, we are being stretched near to breaking.

Closing time protest: Bars sue governor
BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services
Two dozen bars around the state are asking the Arizona Supreme Court to rule that Gov. Doug Ducey does not have the constitutional authority to shut them or any other business down. Kimberly O’Donnell, owner of Kimmyz on Greenway in Glendale; Javier Aguila, owner of Aguila’s Hidaway bars in Avondale and Buckeye; and Mitchell and Lucie Stevens, owners of Sage and Sand Bar in Glendale, joined the suit. Attorney Ilan Wurman is not contending that there is not an emergency due to the COVID-19 outbreak. But Wurman, an associate professor at Arizona State University, said the law that gives Ducey the unilateral power to do
things like close down certain businesses “unconstitutionally delegates the legislative power of this state to the governor.” Wurman wants the justices to not only void the law giving the governor those powers but also declare that any orders Ducey already has made under that law are illegal and cannot be enforced. The outcome of the legal fight would affect not just the owners of the 20 bars around the state who are challenging his authority over them but every other kind of business that Ducey has ordered shuttered or whose operations he has directed be curtailed. And it also could affect the governor’s future ability to impose a new stay-at-home order as well as any directives he issues about when schools can and cannot open. The action is the third challenging Du-
cey’s powers to close businesses. A Maricopa County Superior Court judge earlier this month rejected a challenge by the Mountainside Fitness chain and last week a federal judge rebuffed a bid by Xponential Fitness to allow it to reopen its 50 facilities around the state. “The court does not doubt the earnestness of plaintiffs’ desire to open their businesses, generate revenue, earn a living, and employ—and as importantly pay—others,’’ wrote U.S. Judge Diane Humetewa, adding that she recognizes “the economic and emotional hardships’’ that the closure orders can impose on people and individuals. But Humetewa said she was powerless to simply void Ducey’s orders. “In our constitutional republic, the decisions of whether, when, and how to ex-
ercise emergency powers amidst a global pandemic belong not to the unelected members of the federal judicial branch, but to the elected officials of the executive branch,’’ she wrote. Humetewa said a crisis like that created by the coronavirus calls for “quick, decisive measures to save lives.’’ Central to the bars’ case is the law that both allows the governor to declare an emergency and then gives him “the right to exercise ... all police power vested in the state by the constitution and laws of this state’’ to deal with that emergency. “Petitioners have suffered great harm from being unable to operate their businesses in pursuit of their lawful occupations and ordinary callings,’’ Wurman told the justices.

Pop Up Events offer safe, drive-in entertainment BY KRISTINE CANNON Peoria Times Staff Writer
As an events and entertainment company, Steve LeVine Entertainment & Public Relations was hit hard by the pandemic. Following the postponement of Scottsdale Fashion Week, a four-day event SLE hosts in the spring, hundreds of other events disappeared from its calendar. “And we knew that in order to survive as a company, we had to pivot,” CEO Steve LeVine said. SLE began hosting virtual entertainment, including live music, comedy sets and more. It then worked with city officials in Scottsdale and Glendale to create safe, socially distanced drive-in events. And that led to the creation of its uber-successful Pop Up Events. SLE has hosted 3,700 cars with more than 11,000 attendees at its more-than 70 Pop Up Events in Scottsdale and Glendale. At its newest venue, WestWorld, which can host more than 500 vehicles, SLE has hosted eight events, with the Ultimate Fighting Championship 251 streaming event and the showings of “Jurassic Park” and “Despicable Me” drawing its biggest crowds. SLE has also hosted events at Sonora Village in Scottsdale and Westgate Entertainment District in Glendale. “We have had sold-out movies, including
‘Star Wars,’ ‘The Call of the Wild,’ ‘The Sandlot’ and ‘The Greatest Showman,’” LeVine said. UFC was the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s first drive-in event and drew more than 350 fans. “It was a great experience,” LeVine said. “Not only were guests treated to amazing fights, we also had a ‘social distant’ live interview with UFC fighter Frankie Saenz, which gave attendees an inside look and how he is prepping for his upcoming fight and how he is staying busy during these times. “It was awesome to hear everyone honking and flashing their lights and cheering from their cars.” And the Pop Up Events keep on coming. Next weekend’s lineup includes a special showing of “Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure” Friday, July 31. “With the closing of Metrocenter Mall, we thought it would be a great tribute, plus celebrating the 30th anniversary of ‘Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure,’ which was partially filmed there,” LeVine said. As guests arrive, DJ Soulman will be live video mixing throwback ‘80s tunes. “He really does such a great job formatting music that everyone loves,” LeVine said. “You just can’t help to dance in your seat singing along to every song he plays.” Tickets are $20 per car. In addition to hosting private events and other smaller-scale events, SLE brainstormed other unique events, like pop-up
ing locally in AZ, we have been consulting for new drive-ins in San Francisco; Washington, D.C.; Miami; and a few in Texas,” LeVine said.

people who will tell you the truth. No. 6. Don’t self-talk yourself into losing and giving up. Be careful how you talk to yourself, because you’re listening. Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy. No. 5. Focus on the big picture. There is a solution. So far, you have survived 100% of your worst days. No. 4. Get some mental and spiritual backbone. Fight like you’re the third monkey trying to get on Noah’s Ark. No 3. Don’t force God to accept your solution. Choose to the teachable, not offended at God or others. Sometimes good things need to fall apart so better things can fall together. No. 2. Remember to look down on your crisis from an up position, rather than the other way around. Human toughness is having a plan of attack, not a panic attack. No. 1. Don’t forget God, God’s promises, God’s power and that God is for you, not against you in your crisis. Sacrifice your self-sufficiency. Sacrifice is giving up something you love to release something better you love more.

In June 2018, I wrote an article on mental toughness, “True Grit: It’s Tough to be Mentally Tuff.” The response, from the readers of the article, was a bit overwhelming in a significant way. Little did I know then that mental toughness would be even more of a need for all of us two years later. Because of the necessity of mental tough-
As you read this article, you might be feeling inspired. I hope so. But without mental toughness, applying mental toughness in our attitude, outlook and behavior is impossible. Have you noticed motivation is fickle, willpower comes and goes, and emotions are easy glum, easy glow? I resonate with the statement James Clear makes, which says, “…you can do a lot to develop mental toughness.” How do you develop mental toughness? Maybe I can get you started with some ideas from my “People Who Overcome” book. Here’s a list of the 10 attitudes and outlooks to embrace and not embrace in a crisis: No. 10. Don’t sink into fear and unbelief. Don’t magnify the problem. If you have a big God, you have a small problem. If you have a little or no God, you have a big problem. No. 9. Don’t lose hope. Winners are ex-losers who just got mad and constructively aimed their passions. No. 8. Don’t get into self-pity, hate and blame shifting. Blame shifting is a mental, emotional and spiritual vampire that sucks the life out of you. Holding a grudge is letting someone live rent free in your head. You will get stuck in an emotional tar baby. No. 7. Don’t isolate or insulate yourself. Surround yourself with a team of uplifting

ness during this time, let’s revisit it. So, let’s go, and hopefully, it will empower those in crisis to overcome their crisis. Mental toughness is God’s idea and ideal. Time and time again in the Bible, we see mental toughness in action. My cooperation with God’s operation leads to a better “future with a future” revelation. Let’s have author James Clear enlighten us further on mental toughness. “What makes a bigger impact than talent or intelligence? Mental toughness. “Research is starting to reveal that your mental toughness, or “grit,” as they call it, plays a more important role than anything else for achieving your goals in health, business and life. That’s good news because you can’t do much about the genes you were born with, but you can do a lot to develop mental toughness. “Mental toughness isn’t about getting a dose of inspiration or courage. It’s about building the daily habits that allow you to stick to a schedule and overcome challenges and distractions. Mentally tough people don’t have to be more courageous, more talented or more intelligent—just more consistent and persistent.” In other words, big shots are little shots who just kept shooting. By perseverance, the snail reached the ark.

Back to school—but not back to normal BY ERIN BRASSEY
Peoria Times Staff Writer
For most Peoria schools, early August is back-to-school week—but in 2020, it’s hardly back to normal. After previously ordering schools not to open classrooms for in-person teaching until Aug. 17, Gov. Doug Ducey said at a July 23 press conference that start dates are being left up to individual districts. A safe opening date for in-person learning is to be decided by the Arizona Department of Health Services. “Arizona will be open for learning,” Ducey said. “And our priorities are going to be public health and safety.” The benchmarks for opening schools have not yet been released from ADHS; however, most districts plan to start school in a distanced format on their originally planned date. Despite the possibility of in-person classes still not being in session, Ducey announced that districts must have a location ready to open Aug. 17 for parents who need supervision for their children. “Children deserve a safe learning environment,” he said. “So our schools must provide free, on-site learning.” Ducey explained that once schools are open, all adults in the building will be required to wear masks, but children will have some freedom to go without a mask when social distancing is possible. Many districts are offering options for families, once classrooms are open for in-person learning. In addition to in-person

and self-paced online models, districts plan to offer “distance learning,” a remote learning model that is led by a live teacher and set to a schedule. Peoria Unified School District PUSD will start the semester in a remote format Wednesday, Aug. 5, and plans to continue with this until after Labor Day unless it is deemed safe to return sooner. Superintendent Dr. Jason Reynolds said the PUSD governing board decided to continue remote learning after the governor’s executive order lifts on Aug. 17. “Your teachers, your principals, our staff members are working every single day to make sure that we are going to provide your child with an outstanding experience,” Reynolds said. Families can choose between in-person and fully online learning. Those who choose online must stay with this format until the end of the semester. “We all know that this is confusing,” Reynolds said. “The new information that comes to us each and every day is making it a challenge to be able to decide ‘What am I supposed to do?’” He explained that the district and its new medical advisory team will continue to analyze the incoming COVID-19 data to make “decisions based on what is the very best for our Peoria students.” PUSD teaches 37,000 students in 32 elementary schools and seven high schools in Peoria and Glendale.
