Peoria begins redistricting process BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The 2020 census counts are in, and Peoria’s population has grown to 190,985, an increase of more than 35,000 residents since 2010. As such, the city of Peoria has started the federally mandated redistricting process to redraw district boundaries. “Peoria’s district system helps voters ensure that the councilmember they elect to represent them is a vital part of their community,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said. “I encourage all citizens to become in-

volved in the important redistricting process. Multiple public meetings will be held, and online mapping software is available to assist you in drawing your personal map preferences. I’m excited to begin this citizen-centric project that gives voters a voice in the democratic process.” Last week the U.S. Census Bureau released 2020 population data, triggering a redistricting process for municipalities with council districts. As required by federal law, redistricting is the process of adjusting voting district boundaries in ac-

cordance with population shifts from 2020 census data. Peoria must submit the proposed city council district boundaries by the end of 2021. New city council district boundaries will be in effect for the August and November 2022 elections. Although the delay in census data reporting will shorten the timeframe for the redistricting process this year, Peoria residents will have many opportunities to participate in the process.

He completed research internships in the computer science and finance field at ASU. He’s also the recipient of the University of Rochester’s prestigious Bausch & Lomb Honorary Science Award. “My parents have really helped me with this since my early says,” says Khurana, a former Peoria resident who attended Sandra Day O’Connor High School.

Everyone knows the saying “man’s best friend” is about the connection between owners and their dogs. For veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder or a traumatic brain injury, that connection can be a lifeline to adjusting to the civilian world and providing help with everyday tasks. Soldier’s Best Friend is a nonprofit organization in Peoria that pairs veterans living with post-traumatic stress disorder or a traumatic brain injury with service or therapeutic companion dogs at no cost. The organization received a donation of about $3,000 in supplies from the Phoenix law firm Gust Rosenfeld, which is celebrating its 100-year anniversary by giving back to local organizations. With the theme of “giving 100,” the company donated 120 backpacks, 102 collapsible browns, 100 bags of treats and 100 collars to Soldier’s Best Friend — essentially helping 100 veteran and dog teams receive help at no cost. “We tried to spread out what we wanted to do (for donations), and we liked Soldier’s Best Friend because it helped both veterans and the animal

community,” said Matt Faunkhauser, marketing director at Gust Rosenfeld. “In talking with Soldier’s Best Friend, it’s such a huge thing for them to be able to get those items. When a veteran comes in and they get paired up with an animal, kind of as a team, they get treats, a collar and a bunch of other

items. In the end, it’s really helping almost 100 of these teams do things and get going.” Soldier’s Best Friend was founded by John Burnham, a local veterinarian and son of a World War II veteran, in SEE SOLDIER PAGE 4

social media and games. I do spend time on those to connect with friends and family. I have a joy for learning.” The Bausch & Lomb is one of four selective awards that the University of Rochester offers 11th graders from around the world. Each school can nominate one student per award. Khurana’s prize recognizes high achievement and rigor in science and math classes, as well as positive contributions to the school and larger community. Winners of the award have their University of Rochester application fee waived and are eligible to be considered for merit scholarships worth at least $10,000 per year. Khurana, who formerly attended Glendale Community College, too, is the first student nominated by Sandra Day O’Connor High School. He is “very involved” with Put on the Cape: A Foundation for Hope. He led multiple donation drives, raised more than $800 and collected about 200 new toys. Put on the Cape’s founder, Sean Reavie, said Khurana impressed him

immediately. “Reaching out to me, he asked if he could be of help with my foundation’s mission of caring for abused children,” Reavie said. Working with his classmates, Khurana organized a donation drive for the Superhero September celebration and visited the advocacy center with his fa-

ther to deliver the items, and the staff thanked him for his generosity. “In the spring of 2019, Khurana heard about the foundation’s Superhero 5K and signed up to run,” Reavie said. “The organizer of the race, Brett Stewart, is a renowned extreme athlete. Before the race started, Stewart challenged people to beat him to the starting line after the first mile of the race and earn a pair of high-end sport sunglasses if they could do it. “I remember seeing Neil streak past the finish line with Brett behind him, earning a pair of those glasses. I was amazed. “Most people go their entire lives and don’t make an impact in the lives of others the way Neil has in just a few short years. He has a giving heart and is a born leader and, more importantly, a servant. That is a rare combination. His parents are no doubt very proud of him. The sky is not the limit for Neil. It is the beginning.” Khurana also served as the president of the Student Wellness Advocacy Team; president of the National Honor Society; and tutor to peers in

math, Spanish and chemistry courses. He mentored freshmen in 10th grade and author of two articles. He collected leftover donuts and muffins from Dunkin Donuts and donated them to local nonprofits and halfway houses. Khurana is hoping to study computer science or environmental engineering at Duke University. “Science and computer science are things I really like the most,” he said. “My dad is very involved in computer science. That led me to take various courses in AP computer science in high school, and 11th grade I took computer science at Glendale Community College.” While at Sandra Day O’Connor, Khurana did a “little project” in his computer science class. He 3D printed a robot and programmed it using Java to eat marbles. “The robot would raise the container into its mouth,” Khurana said. “It would eat it. It would drop the container and put another marble in it. It was a small project, but it utilized coding.” He is the son of Rupak and Polly Khurana and the brother of Ansh.

stress or traumatic brain injury but also giving loving homes and important missions to Arizona homeless dogs.” Their approach to training uses the owner-handler model, where both the veteran and the dog are trained on taking care of each other in a rigorous program that takes at least six to nine months. Ares said part of training includes a public outing and three tasks chosen by the veterans to accomplish, such as reminding the owner to take their medicine or even turning lights on to wake from nightmares. When the training is complete, the dog is either a therapeutic companion dog or an officially registered service dog. Ares said while many people are just looking for a therapeutic dog, they end up staying in the program to complete the process for a service dog after seeing the benefits. Tom Chauncey, an attorney at Gust Rosenfeld for nearly 50 years and a previous board member at Soldier’s

Best Friend, said he was introduced to the program 10 years ago. He was so impressed by the mission that he has been a sponsor and supporter from that day forward. “I attended a graduation (from the program), and one of the veterans shared his story,” Chauncey said. “He would make a statement and then he would look down at his dog for reassurance. Then he’d give us another sentence or so and look down at his dog again for reassurance. He told us a story about his injury, his recovery and his training with the dog. It was just so impactful that I have been committed ever since.” When Gust Rosenfeld donated in celebration of its 100th anniversary, Chauncey was the one who threw Soldier’s Best Friend into the hat. Faunkhauser said giving back to the community is a part of the firm’s founding principles, and most of the attorneys are volunteers for or involved

with different charity and community service organizations. Their “give 100” project was just a way to go above and beyond what they were already doing. “The firm tries to do a lot of things, but I have to tell you, there’s not many organizations that have such a tremendous impact on the individual lives of folks that need it like the concept Dr. Burnham created, you know, saving two lives at a time between the rescue dog and the veteran. It’s a wonderful combination,” Chauncey said. So far, Soldier’s Best Friend has graduated 305 veteran/dog teams and rescued 186 homeless dogs. Besides any travel expenses from going to training, everything is free for the veterans. They receive the dog, a collar, leash, backpack, food bowls, food, treats and training at no cost. Ares said the donations from Gust Rosenfeld will help support current teams and teams for

2011. When his father died in 2007, he was looking for a way to give back and combine his military interests to honor his father with his expertise as a vet. Through his practice, Burnham saw the incredible impact pets could have on their owners as well as an increasing problem of homeless dogs in the area. The idea was born. Instead of acquiring already-trained service dogs, giving them to veterans and then sending them away, Soldier’s Best Friend takes dogs from local shelters, pairs them with veterans, and has them spend two months training together for a stronger bond, according to Katie Ares, executive director of Soldier’s Best Friend. “We’re unique because our veterans and dogs actually train together to build a trusting relationship that saves two lives at once and inspires countless others,” Ares said. “So, we’re working to not only support combat veterans with combat-related post-traumatic

important that residents have the facts. Peoria’s water supply is not impacted in these early stages. Peoria has prepared for drought conditions in Arizona for many years and has plans in place if the shortage levels on the Colorado River continue to worsen. In fact, only 34% of Peoria’s water supply is directly from the Colorado River and Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal. Also, the city only uses 61% of its available CAP supply, and the rest is stored underground for later use. To date, Peoria has stored more than 180,000 acre-feet of water underground. An acre-foot of water serves an average of three homes per year, and the amount that Peoria has banked for the community is approximately five years of Peoria’s total water demand.

9/11 Memorial Tower Challenge returns to West Valley BY LAUREN SERRATO

Peoria Times Staff Writer

On the 20th anniversary of the attack on the Twin Towers, participants will have the chance to complete the 9/11 Memorial Tower Challenge at Gila River Arena. The climb consists of 2,071 steps, representing the 110 flights of stairs climbed by New York City firefighters during the attacks on the World Trade Center. The event is meant to honor the 2,977 victims, including 343 firefighters, eight medical technicians and 72 law enforcement officers from eight local, state and federal agencies who were killed when terrorists crashed four hijacked planes into the World Trade Center Towers in New York City; the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia; and a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. “It is a tribute and a ceremony in which we honor those that lost their lives in 9/11,” said Angela Harrolle, president and CEO of the 100 Club of Arizona, the event’s co-beneficiary. “They climb these steps, and while they’re climbing, they look at the pictures that are placed of all of the fallen throughout the Gila River Arena. It’s very impactful, and it’s an opportunity for us to take a moment and just appreciate how far we’ve come as a country.” During the 20 years since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, the nation has lost over 7,000 members of the military and another 53,000 wounded in the war on terror. Some first responders go above and beyond during the climb. “You’ll have officers coming out with their canines going through the course,” Harrolle said. “You’ll have other individuals in hazmat gear because they (consider) what if they did this on that very hard day. They were wearing all their gear. ‘I feel like I’m going to do it, too.’” The event isn’t limited to first responders. The community is welcome

to participate in the 2021 9/11 Memorial Tower Challenge. More than 3,500 people are expected at three events in Glendale, Tucson and Flagstaff. “It’s very impactful. It’s very patriotic. And it’s also a bit somber,” Harrolle said. “We play a snippet of video, just about two minutes worth of the events of that day, and it is complete silence. People are really taken aback, because you have people who are there participating who maybe were in New York at that time, maybe had family members there, maybe in Washington, D.C.

“Everybody just becomes incredibly quiet and has their given perspective that they didn’t necessarily have previously or haven’t taken the time to really sit down and focus on.” Among the casualties from the 9/11 attacks and ensuing war on terror are 38-year-old NYPD Officer Brian McDonnell and 20-year-old Army Specialist Chris Moon. McDonnell was a U.S. Army veteran and served 15 years with the New York City Police Department. He also was a Tucson police officer for a year before

returning to New York. Tucson native Moon was a talented baseball player for Tucson High School. He was the Southern Arizona Baseball Player of the Year in 2006 and earned a scholarship to the University of Arizona. Moon gave up his scholarship to serve and became a member of the 82nd Airborne. On July 6, 2010, Moon stepped on a roadside bomb and died of his injuries on July 13. Harrolle said it’s men like McDonnell and Moon who give the Tower Challenge such a special meaning. “I hope that it provides the community some level of comfort and brings back that unity that we all felt right after 9/11, where we began to look inward and focus on our families and appreciate our freedoms that we’ve been given,” she said. Additionally, she said the event is for those who may not remember 9/11 or weren’t born yet. “I mean, it’s a history lesson to some. There’s no question,” she said. “There are a lot of people there who weren’t even alive or involved on that tragic day. They’re learning about it thirdhand, but it’s also an opportunity for people to remember this time, remember how united our country was, how united our communities were and how everybody wanted to pay it forward. I think that is what is going to hopefully be experienced by the community this time as well.” All proceeds raised at the event go toward the Tower Fund Foundation, as well as the 100 Club of Arizona and the Gary Sinise Foundation, to provide continual support to the families of police and fire personnel seriously injured or killed in the line of duty. The event continues to look for sponsors. Sponsorship levels start at $1,000 and go up to $25,000. For more information, visit 911towerchallengefoundation.org. The first 1,500 people to register will receive a T-shirt and a challenge coin.

years to come. “I can say for not only our trainers but our followers on social media and our veteran teams it was amazing to see that Gust Rosenfeld provided us with the equipment that we use and that we offer to our veterans when they’re coming into the program,” she said. “It’s great to know that if we’re recommending or using a product that we can offer that to our veterans, because our program is provided at no cost to our veterans. Donations like that with such wonderful, much-needed items are integral to our training program.” Ares said Soldier’s Best Friend is always in need of support, whether it’s in the form of a donation, fostering or volunteering.

There’s Only One Reason Your Heart Should Skip a Beat If your heartbeat feels irregular, you may have a cardiac arrhythmia. Cardiac arrhythmias occur when the electrical impulses in the heart don’t function normally. They can cause fluttering in the chest, chest pain or dizziness. While most arrhythmias are harmless, some can be serious or even life-threatening. And they can impact your ability to function. Most arrhythmias can be treated with medication, simple medical procedures or devices such as pacemakers. If you have cardiac symptoms, make an appointment to be evaluated by a physician.

Remembering Arizona heroes in Afghanistan BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist

The scroll of the dead contains 49 names: 48 men and a woman killed between April 2004 and December 2014 in Afghanistan. To my way of thinking, each of these Arizonans is a hero — a neighbor of ours, a defender of freedom, killed nearly 8,000 miles away in a fetid foreign hell. That sad war ended in a blitz of disgraceful images showing the Taliban taking hold and Afghan civilians opting to die now rather now than face the torture and mayhem sure to come. Pundits branded the war a stain on America not seen since Vietnam. I am not here to debate history. Instead, let’s take a moment to remember the dead. It is the very least we owe them in return for their epic sacrifice. Spec. Patrick D. Tillman and Staff Sgt. Brian S. Hobbs died in 2004. Lance Corp. Kevin B. Joyce and Sgt. Kenneth G. Ross died in 2005. Chief Warrant Officer Hershel D. McCants Jr., Sgt. Charles R. Browning, Pfc. Mykiel F. Miller and Spec. Hugo

V. Mendoza died in 2007. Pfc. Ara T. Deysie, Hospitalman Dustin K. Burnett, Lance Corp. Juan Castaneda-Lopez, Pvt. Joseph F. Gonzales and Corp. Charles P. Gaffney Jr. died in 2008. In 2009, we lost Master Sgt. David L. Hurt, Staff Sgt. Timothy L. Bowles, Spec. Adam J. Hardt, Staff Sgt. Eric J. Lindstrom, Capt. Cory J. Jenkins, Sgt. Thomas Rabjohn and Sgt. Justin Gallegos. The deadliest year was 2010. The killed included Spec. Robert Donevski, Lance Cpl. Alejandro J. Yazzie, Sfc. Glen J. Whetten, Spec. Christian Adams, Sgt. John M. Rogers, Sgt. Martin A. Lugo, Pfc. Barbara Vieyra, Sfc. Todd M. Harris, Lance Corp. Matthew J. Broehm, Lance Corp. Randy R. Braggs and Sgt. Aaron B. Cruttenden. In 2011, Pfc. Dustin J. Feldhaus, Pfc. John C. Johnson, Staff Sgt. Martin R. Apolinar, Staff Sgt. Donald V. Stacy, Spec. Michael D. Elm and Sfc. Johnathan B. McCain died. In 2012, Corp. Phillip D. McGeath, First Lt. Alejo R. Thompson, Sfc. Barrett W. McNabb, Staff Sgt. Carl E. Hammar, Staff Sgt. Richard L. Berry,

Staff Sgt. Orion N. Sparks and Sfc. Ryan J. Savard died. The bloodshed ebbed in 2013. The dead: Staff Sgt. Jonathan D. Davis, Second Lt. Justin L. Sisson, First Lt. Jonam Russell and CWO Joshua B. Silverman. Operation Enduring Freedom ended on the last day of 2014, but not before the death of Spec. Wyatt J. Martin, a 22-year-old from Mesa killed two weeks before Christmas. These 49 obituaries are full of details about these heroes: how Kevin Joyce, 19 when he died, was the guy his fellow Marines turned to when they’d been dealt a lousy MRE for dinner. Joyce kept extras in his locker and was always happy to trade. Corp. Gaffney, 42 and a father of two, told a family friend he re-enlisted “for the women of Afghanistan.” Gaffney said, “The women of Afghanistan are so mistreated, they’re not really people like we are in this country.”

Sgt. 1st Class McNabb hailed from Chino Valley. He went by the nickname “Bear.” Martin Apolinar attended Trevor Browne High School, where his fellow seniors voted him “Prettiest Eyes.” He enlisted in the Army in 2004 and earned his Special Forces qualification at Fort Bragg. In Iraq, he received a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart. Apolinar’s final deployment was to Wardak Province in Afghanistan, where his vehicle was decimated by an improvised explosive device. He died at 29, leaving behind a wife and a son. In a perfect world, we would never have lost this war. In a better world, each of us would remember forever the 49 Arizonans who never came home from hell. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@ leibowitzsolo.com.

Americans forgotten in Afghan chaos BY J.D. HAYWORTH Peoria Times Columnist

Over 30 years have passed since “Clarissa Explains it All” premiered on the kids’ cable channel Nickelodeon. But recently a real-life Clarissa — Clarissa Ward, CNN’s chief international correspondent and a graduate of Yale — offered an eyewitness account from Afghanistan so incredible that it prompted both chuckles and the temptation to “upchuck.” Clad in a burqa to reflect the return of the Taliban to power, Ward described the collective disposition of the victorious jihadists for CNN’s dwindling audience: “They’re chanting ‘Death to America,’ but they seem friendly at the same time.” Her on-the-ground assessment

prompted Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) to tweet out an obvious question: “Is there an enemy of America for whom CNN won’t cheerlead?” In Takhar province, a woman was shot and killed for not wearing a burqa when she went out in public. Meantime, the public “face” of the Taliban, spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, held a press conference to insist that women’s rights would be honored in the newly renamed Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, but he included a huge caveat. The Taliban, he said, is “committed to the rights of women under the system of Sharia law.” Sharia law? Guess that means it’s still OK to kill women not wearing burqas in public. In Washington, the burqaless and seemingly clueless White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, offered the Biden administration’s new definition of “American Exceptionalism,” which

apparently now means that the U.S. government places a priority on helping people leave Afghanistan — except those who are American citizens. When asked if the U.S. could offer “any guarantee” to Americans who might be stuck in Afghanistan past the administration’s withdrawal deadline of Aug. 31, Ms. Psaki responded “that is day by day, getting as many American citizens, as many SIV (special immigrant visa) applicants, as many members of vulnerable populations who are eligible to be evacuated, to the airport and out on planes.” Jen may have listed Americans first in her response, but in reality, the emphasis was on non-Americans. On Aug. 15, a U.S. Air Force C-17 was packed with 640 Afghan refugees, who escaped to Qatar. Three days later, the U.S. Embassy in Kabul issued this security alert: The U.S. government cannot ensure safe

passage to the Hamid Karzai International Airport. The fact that the alert was composed in capital letters underscored the urgency of the message and the dilemma confronting the American citizens who are stuck in Afghanistan, numbering between 10,000 and 40,000. In his televised address of Aug. 16, President Biden claimed that “we planned for every contingency,” but he also admitted “this did unfold more quickly than we had anticipated.” Then, he dusted off a line that was a combination of Richard Nixon and Harry Truman: “I am president of the United States of America, and the buck stops with me.” Apparently satisfied that his remarks would placate the population, Mr. Biden had returned to politicizing the pandemic by midweek.

CHAOS FROM PAGE 11

But there is no vaccine for the collective vexation of American voters. Independents who watched the speech reacted by giving it an “F.” An “F-word” is undoubtedly on the minds of the Americans stranded in Afghanistan: forgotten. With Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin telling reporters they’ll only evacuate Americans “until the clock runs out,” our fellow Americans trapped there must dream of “turning the clock back.”

Some entire families are stranded; they undoubtedly are concerned that they could become captives. To placate their kids, some worried parents are probably watching old Nickelodeon shows… including “Clarissa Explains it All.” J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10, Phoenix from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 1995-2007.

The Pink Door keeping teatime alive BY ANNIKA TOMLIN

Peoria Times Staff Writer

Twenty-six years after opening Kimberly Ann’s Tea Room, Mae Collins sold it last year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Her neighbor, insurance agent Lupe Encinas, is keeping the English tradition alive with The Pink Door Tea House in the same space. “It’s so cute,” Encinas said. “I never really had a little tea party before, and now I get to have one every day.” She bought the building after a private investor who wanted to convert it into a residential home backed out of the sale. “I didn’t know anything about tea when I started,” said Encinas, who owns Cactus State Insurance. “All I know, being in my background, I am Latina, all I know is the herbal tea. “But here what I got to learn and what I’m still learning is tea is supposed to be something that you sit down and relax (to enjoy). I’m always on the go, so that is a very hard thing for me to do as a mom and as a business owner.” While the official grand opening was in March, prior to reopening its doors, the building was renovated. Encinas said several walls were torn down to make a more open concept, an open kitchen was created, and an outdoor patio was added to the building’s side. “The buildout so far was definitely the best part, because there are so many possibilities, so many different ways that you can start a business,” Encinas said. “What I have learned and what I really love is all of the memories and experiences that we are going to be able to give to the customer.” Designated rooms throughout the building include the Queen’s Parlor in the front area, the Grand Tea Room,

and the Princess Room that is caters to the “little tea drinkers.” Within the Queen’s Parlor there is a painting featuring two Victorian-dressed women having tea. “I asked a local artist — they are the owners of Art of Fire in Peoria — I asked them to paint a painting for me to put in the beautiful room,” she said. She gave no direction as to what she wanted painted, because she is “not an artist, and I don’t know what to do. “I found out she added me in,” Encinas explained. “This (painting) represents the previous owner teaching me about tea. She’s passing on her knowledge and passing it on so I can keep it going, and I love that and the representation, and they made me look good in that.” The Pink Door Tea House serves an array of loose-leaf tea options, including its signature Pink Door Green Tea available hot or iced. The highlight is the afternoon tea menu.

Guests can choose between the Elegant, Garden, Classic or Prince & Princess high teas. Each menu includes a variety of sandwiches, salads and desserts to go along with the tea that customers choose. Breakfast and lunch items are served outside of the afternoon tea menu and can be ordered to go.

“My favorite tea so far I would have to say is the Pink Door, but I usually do, as I’m still learning I like my black teas,” Encinas said. “I like them strong, so the Chinese Pinhead is something that I am always recommending.” Prior to selling her business, Collins imparted her 26 years of knowledge to Encinas to help her get started. “We are just trying to bring people in from the community and teach people like myself about tea,” Encinas said. “There are a lot of us out there.” The name reflects “something simple.” “I wanted something that as you are driving by to kind of stick out, something simple,” she said. “I have three boys, so pink is something that I had to get used to. That’s why you see the green (on the walls), because it is my comfort color.” Encinas went with pink as one of her soft-tone color palette and painted the front door the same color, thus creating the business name. The biggest challenge was finding fine china tea sets. “I found out pretty quickly that you can’t just walk into a store and find fine china,” she said. “I started going around to antique shops, and I couldn’t find the quality that I wanted to bring in.” She found exactly what she was looking for at her first estate sale she visited. It was at the home of a woman who was moving into an assisted living facility. “This house looked like it had everything that I needed on the pictures that they posted of just table after table after table of little teacups and sets,” Encinas said. “The description of them were exactly what I was looking for.” She made an offer for every set availSEE TEATIME PAGE 19

I told her that whenever COVID slows down that she is welcome her to see where all of her beloved belongings went.” Encinas hopes to offer several teabased events, including an “Alice in Wonderland”-themed event on Saturday, Nov. 6.

“I’m a people person. I love being part of the community and being part of events with people,” Encinas said. “This fits me so well, because I get to do all of that here.

Unmet expectations minus real reality equals? CHURCH-COMMUNITY CONNECTION

Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Columnist

We live in a success-driven world that generally believes and endorses an awkward value. That awkward value is success. Everyone will be impressed if we are the king of the hill, top dog, No. 1 or the sage on the stage. We strive to be or have the “latest, the greatest, the biggest, the best,” which means success. That success, size and the resulting admiration validate our effort and prove our significance, making us happy. Here’s an example. A Texan farmer goes to Australia for a vacation. There he meets an Aussie farmer, and they get to talking. The Aussie shows off his big wheat field, and the Texan says, “Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large as this in Texas.” Then they walk around the ranch a little more, and the Aussie shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately says, “We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows.” The conversation has almost died when the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the field. “And what are those?” The Aussie replies with an incredulous look, “Don’t you have any grasshoppers in Texas?” Lesson: Having been to Australia more than 30 times, I’ve learned never to try to outdo an Aussie verbally. We live in a culture where “failure” (either our opinion or others) can disqualify us for the future we are meant to have. Have you noticed who is on the front cover of the national magazines or who is on television? Those people, entities or things are the “the

latest, the greatest, the biggest, the best.” But what about that 95% of the business owners, pastors, influencers, dreamers, leaders and regular people who never quite realize their dreams, visions, hopes, goals or desires? What about the people who are doing the best they can with what they have but still have a sizeable gap between where they thought they would be at this time in their lives and where they are now in status, career path or finances? Most people hate the gap between what they expected and where they are. Why? Our culture has adopted the “size or success equals happiness” lie. We idolize and emulate the 5% who somehow arrive on the front page of the magazine. Here’s the reality: Not everyone can be the president of the United States, the CEO of a major company, or the next American Idol. Remember the worldly equation that makes us happy or unhappy. Happiness equals expectations minus reality. So, when the reality of someone’s life is better than they had expected,

they’re happy. But when the truth turns out to be worse than the expectations, they’re unhappy. Then they get depressed. They get frustrated or mad, start pretending or blaming. Then they give up. Their mantra can become, “Whether right or wrong, I didn’t get want I wanted.” Al Ells of Clergy Care says, “While most men would think of depression as a woman’s problem, it’s a man’s problem because 82% of all men suffer from depression.” Why? The gap between their expectations and reality between where they are and where they thought they would be. Remember, his work usually determines a man’s outlook and significance. And many women are experiencing the exact “unrealistic expectations minus real reality” depression as they pursue their careers. Here’s the problem. Depression produces deadness. What’s deadness? It’s when it’s hard to get emotionally going again. It’s when we don’t want to put up with the garbage anymore. It’s hard to find one’s vision, passion or joy. It’s

when we feel what we do “doesn’t or didn’t make a difference.” It’s when we say, “I don’t care.” We struggle with focus. We can’t get above water anymore like we used to. We feel tired, irritable, depleted, frustrated, disorientated, fearful, threatened, disconnected, isolated. We are screaming for life and energy but can’t get to it. What do many people do then? They either give up or give in or act out. They try to stimulate or awaken their area of deadness. People “medicate” to soften their hurt or areas of deadness. The result? How about divorce, adultery, pornography, drugs, alcohol, anger, becoming a control addict (putting up walls based on the fear of losing more), overeating or overbuying? Most people will do anything to get away from the “deadness” or pain that they feel. And where does all of the above come from? Aiming for the wrong, elusive misbelief: “My happiness and significance depends on my expectaSEE EXPECTATIONS PAGE 22

tions being realized (or fantasized) in the way I expected they would be.” That’s not living. That’s performing. It’s a game of Trivial Pursuit. I have a Bible verse for those of us battling with this issue. “The Lord has much more to give you than this.” 2Chronicles 25:9. Next week, how can we come to

terms with the gap between our expectations and reality? Let’s get back into the game of life. It’s one thing to be wounded or lost on the battlefield; it’s another to be captured by the enemy or surrendered to the enemy. Let’s turn our emotional mess into a message. We might even get that Texan back on his horse again.

MCCCD guides students to career success BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Pipeline AZ, an Arizona career development and job skills exploration platform, partnered with the Maricopa County Community College District to support students in achieving their career goals while developing qualified workers for Arizona’s many thriving industries. This partnership aligns MCCCD’s field of interest course curriculum with Pipeline AZ’s innovative career technology, resulting in improved opportunities for students to match their skills with their career path. With the conclusion of a successful yearlong pilot program, Pipeline AZ will white-label its platform and services to act as the singular career exploration and talent pipeline infrastructure for all of MCCCD’s 10 unique colleges starting this fall.

Following successful conclusion of a yearlong pilot program with Pipeline AZ, MCCCD will roll out an innovative career exploration technology platform to all students. (Photo courtesy of MCCCD)

Every MCCCD student will have access to customized career exploration tools and support through the Pipeline AZ platform that brings together students seeking career opportunities and a wide range of eager employers across Arizona. Students will also learn from the platform’s advanced insights about

the exact skills, education or certificates they need to reach their career goals. “The career journey can be an iterative and complicated process, and our priority is to help our students ultimately find success, whether that be placement into a career or continued learning,” said Eric Leshinskie, interim provost at MCCCD. “Pipeline AZ will serve as the integrated technology tool for our entire district to be able to meet this priority for all students, no matter their background, skills or career preferences.” With the official rollout of the MCCCD and Pipeline AZ partnership, students can complete a user profile at mcccd.pipelineaz.com, where they will take a skills assessment and identify various fields of interest. Upon completion of their profile, students will then have access to a vari-

ety of career exploration opportunities and information, including job shadowing, service learning, field experience, research, apprenticeship, further education, and other opportunities that match the student’s career goals. “One of the largest gaps we have identified in workforce and talent development here in Arizona was having a singular place that both job seekers and employers can look to for new career opportunities and ideal job candidates,” said Mary Foote, director of Pipeline AZ. “Pipeline AZ aims to fill that gap by offering a single platform for institutions, students and employers to connect and reduce fragmentation of the career development and hiring process. We are thrilled to partner with MCCCD and help students achieve the very best SEE CAREER PAGE 24
