Despite heat, first responders ‘mask up’

BY TOM SCANLON

Peoria Times Managing Editor

Multiple times every day, firefighters and paramedics in Peoria are exposed to patients who may have COVID-19—and others who have tested positive.

Yet the number of first responders who themselves test positive is strikingly low.

As president of the Professional Fire Fighters of Arizona, Bryan Jeffries represents 7,000 first responders. He estimates fewer than 300 of them have become sick and/or tested positive for COVID-19.

“That’s not bad,” he said.

He said the reason first responders are not getting sick can be summarized in SEE FIREFIGHTERS PAGE 2

At its Aug. 18 meeting, Peoria City Council unanimously approved a resolution to rezone 280 acres near Ridgeline and Dysart roads, an area in northwest Peoria near Trilogy at Vistancia.

Despite “pump the brakes” protests from neighbors and concerns from the Peoria Unified School District, council authorized the development of a residential community with an overall density of three units per acre, clearing the way for up to 838 new homes.

Council concurred with the planning and

zoning commission, which earlier found the rezoning request to be appropriate for the area.

According to Peoria Planning and Community Development Director Chris Jacques, 80 acres will have a minimum lot size of 1 acre and will allow for two-story construction. The plan calls for 75% of the lots to be over 7,000 square feet. Cowley Properties owns the land, which Peoria annexed in 2010.

A January letter from the Peoria Unified School District said the development would “adversely impact the capacity of our schools in this part of the district.”

A letter the following month said PUSD

had accepted “an agreement that will help with future capital needs” with the developer, Mattamy Homes. But, the letter noted, “completing this agreement will not eliminate the potential for overcrowding the area’s schools.”

At an Aug. 7, 2019, public meeting, at least 30 residents voiced concerns over the proposed plan. After a planning and zoning commission meeting on the matter in January, more than three dozen neighbors emailed their concerns.

and protocols,” he said.

“We have been fortunate that very few members have had to be tested due to potential exposures and we are being dispatched on fewer COVID-19 calls.”

Strict adherence to safety policy is working in Peoria.

“Our members are monitored and adhere to all safety protocols and are safe and healthy,” Bravo said.

The Glendale Fire Department also is strict about using PPE, said Ashley Losch, a department spokeswoman.

“In terms of COVID cases, I think we are similar to most departments,” Losch said. “We saw a surge in cases at the same time that the state did, and we are slowing now.

“I believe that we have put the proper type of PPE in place to protect our membership and good policies from the beginning, and that has helped keep our cases relatively low.”

She acknowledged the precarious situations firefighters/paramedics face.

“Certainly there is a risk every time we (treat) a patient that is COVID positive and our people are vulnerable to contracting it. Calcu-

“The PPE works,” he said. “This masks debate just blows my mind.”

In Peoria, the phrase “mask up” is heard with every first responder call— no matter the heat.

“The city of Peoria Fire-Medical Department takes pride in being ‘essential workers’ on the front lines and has always taken proper precautions in regards to PPE and responding to citizens,” said Mario Bravo, a department spokesman.

“We have taken additional precautions when responding to potential COVID-19 dispatched calls for service, such as limiting the initial contact to properly evaluate the situation, supplying PPE for patients and ensuring additional sanitization methods.”

Bravo noted that, when the pandemic first hit Peoria early in spring, groupcare facilities were a “wild card.”

“We’ve had good experiences showing up at people’s homes who are wearing masks—or, when we come to the door, they’ll ask if we want them to put a mask on.”

His message to the public: Wear masks, it works—and firefighters are proving it.

“It is definitely not as comfortable to wear all the PPE when it’s hot out.

But that comes with the job,” Jeffries said. “It’s definitely causing discomfort, but we have to do that. We can’t compromise our safety or our patients’ safety.”

The same goes in Peoria, where temperatures have been screaming above 110 for most of the last month.

In the West Valley, Amazon is delivering—and not just hats, mouse traps, electronics, books (which is how the company started) and thousands of other items people have been ordering during the pandemic.

Amazon is about to deliver jobs by the hundreds.

Less than a month after striking out with Nike, which backed out of a plan for a facility here, Goodyear hit a home run with the largest retailer in the world.

Last week, Amazon said it was creating 11 new sites across the Valley—including two major facilities in Goodyear and a “Merch by Amazon” store in Avondale.

Amazon is building another crossdock facility on Sweetwater Avenue and Litchfield Road in Surprise, near northwest Peoria, so delivery trucks soon will be rumbling up and down Loop 303.

Though Amazon has been doing great business since shutdowns and stayhome orders during the COVID-19 pandemic, the West Valley expansion “isn’t necessarily tied to the pandmeic,” said Matthew High, regional director of Amazon fulfillment.

“We planned out several years in advance and put a process into where we wanted to locate our facilities. We look at the workforce and community partners—and Phoenix has an abundance of talented workforce. We aim to be as close to our customers as possible,” High said.

He said Amazon plans to have the robotic fulfillment center up and running in Goodyear by the end of the year.

In it, High said vacuum-cleaner-sized robots will help sort and pick inventory. “It will increase efficiency for our associates and cut down on shipping cycle time,” he said.

The new sites are expected to create more than 3,000 jobs with a minimum $15-per-hour wage “and comprehensive benefits starting on day one.”

Near Yuma Road and South Bullard Avenue in Goodyear, construction workers are creating an 855,000-square-foot warehouse.

There, according to a press release, “employees will work alongside Am-

In 2021, Amazon plans a cross-dock facility in Goodyear and a delivery station in Surprise, creating hundreds

more full-time jobs in the West Valley.

“We just can’t get enough Amazon in Goodyear,” gushed Mayor Georgia Lord.

Local resident Amber Kinion, for one, is less thrilled. “Litchfield (Road) used

Ducey won’t interfere with district reopening decisions

BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services

Gov. Doug Ducey won’t intercede or criticize school districts that opt to reopen for in-class instruction even though their communities don’t meet the benchmarks set by his own health director.

“We want people to follow the benchmarks,” the governor said at a recent press briefing. The benchmarks are based on what the health department has decided are three key indicators of the spread of COVID-19.

Only two counties have reached that point: Apache and Yavapai.

And there is no indication when conditions in the other 13 counties will get to the place where the health department says schools can begin “hybrid” teaching, meaning a combination of virtual and in-person learning.

Newly released data from Maricopa County shows that about half the county— and almost all of the West Valley—is in a “red” zone, meaning that health officials

advise against any reopening of campuses.

Health department spokesman Ron Coleman said that while some districts may show improvement in one or two of the three benchmarks being used to advise school districts on reopening, the map of a district will show the color of the category showing a substantial deviation from the metrics.

“So, if a district is meeting the benchmarks for minimal (green) on two metrics but substantial (red) on one, then it is considered to still be in the substantial category,” Coleman said.

“That hypothetical district would still be recommended to offer virtual learning because at least one metric is still in substantial and has not been lower than that for at least two weeks. To move from substantial to moderate, or moderate to minimal, an area (whether district, ZIP, etc.) must have all metrics in at least that level or better for two weeks or longer,” he said.

But Ducey said he sees these benchmarks as less clear cut.

“They are guidelines,” the governor said.

And he said there are other things that

should be considered, like trends. He also said there’s the separate question of dealing with those most directly involved.

“There are some parents that want, as soon as it’s possible, to get their children back into a classroom,” Ducey said. “And there are parents that we all know are not putting their child back in the classroom.”

The governor said the state is trying to “provide options” for both.

That’s only part of the issue.

“We also have some teachers that are in a vulnerable category or have an underlying health condition,” Ducey said. “And we will need online learning in this hybrid model.”

All 15 counties meet the first of the three benchmarks: two weeks where hospital visits due to COVID-like illnesses fall be-

station and office team.

Currently, more than 900 full-time employees support Amazon operations in Goodyear.

High said Amazon will hire for a variety of positions, from associates who pick and pack merchandise to IT and engineers.

The cross-dock transportation hub will be at Indian School Road and Cotton Lane, High said.

Last month, Amazon bought the 90acre site for $20 million.

The Goodyear location will be Amazon’s first cross-dock facility in the state.

It is also scheduled to open by year’s end with 1,000 full-time positions. The 600,000-square-foot building will support customer fulfillment by receiving large orders of inventory and redistributing products to fulfillment centers across the company’s operations network.

“Amazon recognizes Goodyear as a top choice among cities in which to do business,” Lord said. “Despite the pandemic, development in our city is thriving. The future is very bright in the city of Goodyear, and we are thrilled that Amazon will contribute to our continued growth.”

As Amazon announced its wide-ranging plans, it joined politicians and job seekers in celebrating.

“It’s a great day for Amazon,” High said.

to be so peaceful! Now if you’re out in the morning you get caught in a wave of Amazon vans and if you’re out in the evening you’ll be waiting for a gas pump because they’re all there,” she commented on the West Valley View’s Facebook post about Amazon plans.

Those looking for jobs—especially in the pandemic economy that has tossed thousands out of work—will side with Lord.

Though robots will be doing some of the work, the Goodyear Amazon Robotics center will create more than 1,000 human jobs.

This will be Amazon’s second robotics facility in the state and the only Amazon Robotics facility in the metro Phoenix area.

More than 1,000 full-time associates will work alongside Amazon Robotics to pick, pack and ship smaller customer items, such as books, toys and kitchenware. The new four-story facility is the largest building ever built in the city—the fulfillment center’s footprint is 855,000 square feet. With four levels, the building spans more than 2.3 million square feet.

In 2008, Amazon opened its first Goodyear fulfillment center, where more than 600 full-time employees pick, pack and ship large items to customers, such as oversized boxes of diapers, dog food and paper towels.

ment: “It appears to us that the end result of these plans will be to reduce available open space while cluttering this area with more relatively high-density residential homes.

“We are already witnessing residential developments spring up like weeds. ...

Further, people our age are already heavily taxed for education, which we no longer use. Adding more unplanned residential areas will only increase this burden.”

Dan and Kim Hicken cautioned about “the effects of aggressive overbuilding of housing without the appropriate infrastructure or services.”

Bronwyn and Elgin Mason were among several people expressing concerns that the new development would obstruct views: “We live in the Trilogy at Vistancia homes, and we believe DUCEY FROM PAGE 4

low 10% of the total.

And 11 counties are showing a two-week decline in the total number of cases or, in the alternative, a case rate of less than 100 per 100,000 residents. Cochise, Greenee, Pima and Pinal do not.

But only Apache, Cochise, Greenlee and Yavapai counties meet the third prong of having fewer than 7% of the tests for the virus come back positive.

COVID-19 may be just one of the health problems schools face.

“Arizona’s flu season goes about October to May, with our hardest months usually being January to March,” state Health Director Cara Christ said. She promised a public relations campaign in hopes of getting as many people to take the vaccine which is now available.

“While it’s not 100% effective it does significantly reduce hospitalization and complications and bad outcomes,” Christ said.

Ducey hinted that he might use some federal coronavirus dollars to help provide vaccines to those who may not have health insurance.

two-story homes will not be conducive to maintaining the ambiance of the community and the surrounding mountain.”

As was noted at the city council meeting, Cowley and the developer agreed to limit homes along the perimeter of the development to one story to protect neighbors’ views.

“I think we have listened to the citizens and made changes and requirements to this process that are in their best interest,” Councilwoman Bridget Binsbacher said.

Several others were concerned about overcrowding schools in the area: “This development will add approximately 1,200 to 1,400 students to the existing K-8 schools (Vistancia and Lake Pleasant) that are already at or over capacity.

The normal class size at these schools is already 35-plus,” Stephanie Herrick Kays wrote.

“I want to find a way that any Arizonan that wants to get a flu shot can get one,” he said. “Details to follow.”

The governor also put in a plug of sorts for those businesses that have been allowed to stay open to keep as many workers as they can out of the office.

The ultimate choice, Ducey said, is up to employers. But he suggested that they may find advantages in what has become the new normal of telecommuting.

“Many employers have seen that their employees can be just as productive at home as they were inside the office,” he said.

The governor said that, as a matter of policy, he continues to support the policy of “you’re safer at home, if you don’t have anywhere else to go, if you can work at home.”

And if companies believe they need people in the workplace?

“We do ask this idea of socially and physically distancing, the wearing the mask, all those fundamentals,” Ducey said. He also said a lot of it depends on the nature of the work being done and the environment.

Peoria City Council approves Lake Pleasant Parkway development

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF At its Aug. 18 meeting, Peoria City Council gave the green light to “a development program enabling a mix of uses including commercial, office and multi-family residential” on 37 acres at Lake Pleasant Parkway and Old Carefree Highway.

The project is to be known as the Carioca Company Planned Area Development.

Tiffany and Bosco represented the landowner, RG3 Solar.

“The zoning team at Tiffany & Bosco helped pave the way for new retail and commercial services in Peoria, along Carefree Highway,” according to a release from the company.

Tiffany and Bosco called the previous zoning “outdated,” with the new zoning to serve as “a gateway for future regional mixed-use development.

“Because of the lack of infrastructure in this area of the city, Carioca Company will initially develop a gas station and convenience store to serve the residents heading to nearby Lake Pleasant, as well as regional traffic in the area,” the Tiffany and Bosco release said.

“As the property is surrounded by Arizona State Trust land, the zoning approved by the city council on Aug. 18 will set the vision and character for this future core area of northeast Peoria.”

According to the agenda packet, city staff feels the planned area development (PAD) is beneficial to Peoria’s short- and long-term planning: “The proposed rezoning will update the land plan for this ‘island’ parcel in a designated gateway area in north Peoria. The area is envisioned as a power

students who need a place to be until schools open for in-person learning.

Valerie B. Kline, a parent of a PUSD student, wrote in a letter to PUSD officials, “I am extremely disappointed with the options for on-site support for students needing a place to go during the day beginning Aug. 17.

“I hope the PUSD will do a better job the next time they ask for parental input in regard to their needs,” Kline added.

New PUSD Superintendent Jason Reynolds said the district will continue to monitor Arizona Department of Health and Human Services COVID-19 reports to determine the level of risk to students and staff.

Reynolds stressed state school reopening benchmarks must be met before in-person classes can resume.

“We must continue to act responsibly.

We must continue to be diligent with our safety protocols. We must continue to keep the health and well-being of ourselves as well as each other at the forefront of our organizational and our

personal decision making,” Reynolds said.

Also at the board meeting, PUSD Chief Operations Officer Shawn Duguid said PUSD will continue to provide free breakfast and lunch service to over 78 bus and van routes daily.

According to peoriaunified.org, “Meals will be available for curbside pick-up from 10:30 a.m. to noon, Monday - Friday. Lunch will include hot or cold entree, fruit, vegetable, and milk.

Breakfast will include an entree, fruit, juice, and milk.”

“It is exciting, although it is very different this year,” said Danielle Airey, a PUSD spokeswoman. “We had a remarkably smooth start to the school year on all of our 42 schools.”

Airey said the district handed out over 17,000 laptops to its students and over 96% of all Peoria school students attended class on the first day. The district hired over 150 new teachers, whose training will focus on the online teaching approach.

Hispanic Democrats identify Arizona as a battleground state in 2020 elections

BY CATHERINE FUSILLO Cronkite News

Arizona was recently identified by Democrats as one of six battleground states for this fall’s election, a status that state lawmakers said has been 10 years in the making.

“We have about 10 years of Latino activism resistance that has been going on … and we have created this environment in Arizona” that has primed the state for a fight, said Rep. Ruben Gallego, D-Phoenix.

Gallego lives in Glendale. His comments came during a virtual meeting of Hispanic state lawmakers that also named Texas, Wisconsin, Michigan, Florida and Pennsylvania as battlegrounds. The panel, organized by the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators, came on the first day of the Democratic National Convention.

The Facebook Live event discussed strategies for mobilizing Latino voters in battleground states.

A request for comment from the Arizona Republican Party was not immediately returned, but at least one political analyst agreed with Democrats that “Arizona is unequivocally a battleground state this year.”

Mike Noble, chief of research and

managing partner at OH Predictive Insights, said the election outcome in Arizona will be a “coin flip” in November.

“I not only think that Arizona will be incredibly close,” but it could be a tipping point state that ultimately decides who sits in the White House,” Noble said.

He said former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, holds a slight edge in traditionally red-state Arizona.

A Real Clear Politics roundup of polls on Aug. 12 gave Biden 47% of the vote in Arizona, compared to 45% for President Donald Trump.

Arizona Rep. Lorenzo Sierra, D-Avondale, agreed with Mejia and said turning the state blue in November is “just a matter of us continuing this work.”

While Arizona has not voted for a Democrat for president since the 1996 re-election of President Bill Clinton in 1996, Gallego believes the “steady hand” of Biden and his presumptive running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, will be attractive to voters after four years of Trump tumult.

“I think that’s going to be a calling card for them (voters) to support their ticket,” Gallego said.

“These voters have been used to Trump,” Gallego said during the “Si Se

Stroke care nets recognition for Abrazo West

Abrazo West Campus and Abrazo Arrowhead Campus received the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Quality Achievement and Target: Stroke awards.

“Abrazo Health is dedicated to providing quality care for each of the communities we serve,” Abrazo CEO Brian Elisco said. “This recognition acknowledges our network’s commitment to ensuring stroke patients receive the most appropriate treatment according to nationally recognized guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence.”

He added that signs of stroke and other emergencies shouldn’t be ignored.

“Your health can’t wait. It’s important to seek care if you are experiencing a symptom that is affecting your ability to function. Don’t delay care, because it could lead to significant complications,” Elisco said.

Stroke facts: • A stroke can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability or even death, according to the CDC. • Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the country.

Vota” event. “We’re so used to being used as an excuse for whatever failed agenda from the Republican Party.

None of those tactics work anymore.”

The GOP still enjoys a numerical advantage in Arizona, with 34.8% of voters in the state registered as Republican in August, compared to 32.4% for Democrats and 31.9% listed as “other,” according to the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office.

But Gallego said Arizona is in a unique position for the 2020 elections, with changing demographics and the state’s existing Permanent Early Voting List making it an exciting state to watch. Gallego noted that 70% of

Latino voters are registered to vote by mail in this election, which he believes “is really going to affect Republicans more than anything else.”

“I think they’re going to avoid voteby-mail and Latinos are going to adapt by getting their ballots early and sending them out early or dropping them off at a polling place,” he said, adding that he is seeing excitement among Latino voters.

He said voters “have basically inoculated ourselves against the Trump administration and their attempts to divide us. We’ve prepared ourselves over the last 10 years for the day that we would be able to do something like this.”

City introduces program to help businesses and nonprofits

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The city of Peoria is partnering with Arizona Community Foundation (ACF) to establish the Peoria Small Business/ Nonprofit Relief Grant Program.

The new program will assist Peoria small businesses and nonprofits that have experienced financial hardships of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The application is open through Sept.

18. All businesses in Peoria may apply for this assistance, regardless of whether they received federal CARES Act funding.

For more information about the Peoria Small Business/Nonprofit Relief Grant Program, visit peoriaaz.gov/business/ small-business-relief-program.

“Small businesses have been particularly challenged over the last several months,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said. “Sectors have been asked to pause their oper-

ations, while others have experienced serious disruptions to their operations. This program is about getting direct financial assistance to those that need it most. I am thrilled to see the availability of these funds to provide much-needed relief.”

Peoria’s relief grant program was designed for businesses that employ less than 25 full-time employees and generated less than $3 million in gross revenue last year.

This grant program is the first of three programs the city has developed to help the more than 3,500 small businesses and nonprofits operating in Peoria.

“The Arizona Community Foundation is pleased to partner with the city of Peoria to administer their small business and nonprofit relief grants program,” said Glenn Wike, ACF vice president of strategy and external affairs. “This program will deliver much-needed resources to support Peoria businesses and nonprofits impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.”

• A stroke occurs when blood supply to part of the brain is blocked or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts. In either case, parts of the brain become damaged or die.

• Ischemic stroke occurs when blood clots or other particles block the blood vessels to the brain. Fatty deposits called plaque can also cause blockages by building up in the blood vessels.

• Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel bursts in the brain.

Blood builds up and damages surrounding brain tissue.

Teachers’ union sends letter to governor On Aug. 21, the Arizona Education Association called on Gov. Doug Ducey “to implement a statewide COVID-19 school safety plan to ensure the health and safety of our children and their educators.”

According to its website, the teachers’ union has more than 20,000 members and is “the largest professional association for public school employees in Arizona.”

In a letter to Ducey, AEA President Joseph H. Thomas stressed a plan should include: • Mandate masks be worn statewide in schools and on buses until the end of the school year.

• Require safety protocols for school districts regarding COVID-19 exposure notification plans for employees and students.

• Cancel this year’s high-stakes standardized testing due to the disruptions related to COVID-19 rendering scores unreliable for the 2020-21 school year.

• Grant school districts flexibility toward meeting the requirement of 180 days of instruction due to impacts related to COVID-19.

• Provide the additional funding necessary to ensure that when schools open to students, schools can continue to

provide safe and healthy learning environments needed for students to excel.

“The Aug. 17 deadline, a date you called aspirational, has passed, and our schools are still not safe to return to,” Thomas wrote. “It is time for you to act in the best interests of our children and their educators.

“Arizona needs a statewide plan regarding school safety. The Arizona Education Association calls upon you to either initiate such a plan or pass the responsibility over to the Superintendent of Public Instruction to do so.”

Ducey did not respond to the letter.

He has not changed the “Arizona is Open for Learning” plan he unveiled July 23.

Ducey’s plan includes: • Regardless of when regular in-person classroom learning begins, each school district and charter school needs to begin teacher-led distance learning by the first day of their traditional instructional calendar.

• Schools will continue to be required to provide 180 days of instruction or equivalent hours, whether a family chooses to do so in person or via distance learning.

• To qualify for enhanced funding, schools must begin offering free onsite learning and support services for students who need a place to go

during the day.

According to his website, “Gov. Ducey is providing maximum flexibility to local school leaders, recognizing they need the expertise of public health professionals and data to guide their decision-making.”

Thomas stressed that “students are best served with in-person instruction and with access to safe classrooms, qualified educators and healthy meals.

This is most critical for students of color, whose communities have been more susceptible to the virus and whose families are unable to be at home with the children because of professional obligations.”

Staff urgently needs proper personal protective equipment, Thomas stressed.

“Thousands of education support professionals have already reported to their school sites, bus barns and maintenance facilities. These public school employees are putting themselves and

their families at risk while districts struggle to acquire the personal protective equipment and disinfecting supplies necessary to maintain a safe workforce,” Thomas wrote.

That, combined with many teachers taking early retirement, has led to confusion and a lack of safety, Thomas wrote: “Parents are struggling with how best to support and protect their children. Educators, parents and students need a plan for a safe return to our schools without jeopardizing their health or the health of their family or community.”

Vote for community, not chaos

BY REP. DEBBIE LESKO Guest Writer

There is a reason that the Arizona Police Association, the National Association of Police Organizations, the International Union of Police Associations and law enforcement from all over the nation have endorsed President Trump.

The brave, hard-working officers who protect our communities know who has their back, and it sure is not Joe Biden and the radical people he has surrounded himself with who have taken over the Democrat Party. Just look at what the Democrat leaders, including Biden, say and believe.

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a main speaker at Biden’s Democrat National Convention, said, “People are going to do what they’re going to do,” in response to being asked how she felt about the recent lootings, arson and violence taking place in our cities.

The darling of the progressive far left, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who is serving as a Biden adviser and speaker at the Democrat

KING FEATURES

National Convention, justified the abhorrent actions of the rioters and looters by saying they just needed to “shoplift some bread.”

And lest you think that this new strain of dangerous ideology and its actions are reserved for only the likes of Pelosi and AOC, I would like to remind you that Joe Biden, the Democrat candidate for president of the United States, and his vice presidential candidate, Kamala Harris, have both called for cutting funding from the police. Harris even applauded the Los Angeles mayor when he cut $150 million from the police. Even Biden’s Unity Task Force with Bernie Sanders wants to make it easier to prosecute police officers and make it easier for police officers to be personally sued even if they are acting in good faith.

The political pandering and cowering to these extremist vandals and rioters are more than just embarrassing—it is dangerous. The progressive left has gone off the deep end, and all we hear is silence from Biden, Harris, Pelosi and Schumer. Does anyone really believe most of these riots taking place are just peaceful protests? Will anyone in the Democrat Party stand up and simply say, “What you are doing is wrong!” Apparently not.

I mean, what the heck is going on?

Do not look to the liberal media to give you the true story. They just keep echoing Democrat talking points that all these riots, lootings and violence are nothing more than “peaceful protests.”

That is a lie.

In what world are these people living

where they think having fewer police officers is going to keep any of us safe?

This stuff used to be considered crazy and has now become mainstream in the Democrat Party!

You cannot make this stuff up. No one would believe it. But it is real. And it is happening before our very eyes.

Thankfully, we have President Donald J. Trump in the White House.

President Trump has stood shoulder to shoulder with our law enforcement officers. President Trump is committed to restoring law and order in our country and fighting back against the defund-the-police movement.

His commitments make communities like ours safe.

We have a clear choice in November between law and order and an-

archy. Between safety and fear. Between community and chaos. We must take action and protect our nation and neighborhoods.

We must reelect Donald J. Trump.

READERS’ VIEWPOINTS LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Reason to vote Editor: I’m writing to express why I am voting for Kathy Knecht this Nov. 3 for State House LD 21. Kathy is a leader and a fighter. More importantly, she is an educator who prioritizes people over politics I graduated high school in a state in which one’s ZIP code had a disproportionate impact on one’s education. Depending on where you lived, some students would have access to advanced placement classes in science, math and English. Others did not even have the option to take a second math class.

Education funding by ZIP code meant that richer students had more opportunities for classes, extracurriculars and programs to help us get to college.

Students from less-wealthy communities often had none of those experi-

ences and opportunities.

Arizona is my new home, and I want it to be a place in which every student has the same wealth of opportunities.

Kathy’s leadership and service makes her the right woman to make this a reality for our students and communities. She has a proven track record from her time teaching, 12 years on the Peoria Unified School board, and serving as president for the Arizona School Boards Association.

She has already shown that she will fight for a quality education by joining a group taking legal action against Arizona for not meeting its obligation to support schools for our kids. With Kathy in the legislature, I believe every student will have the opportunity to thrive, and I ask you to join me in voting for her Nov. 3.

SPECIAL ADVERTISEMENT FEATURE

(Continued from previous page)

Mint to date. That’s why area residents who find their zip code on the distribution list today are being urged to call.

Since this special advertising announcement can’t stop anyone from buying up all the new 2020 Edition Arizona State Silver Bars they can get their hands on, the Federated Mint has not set a limit of how many Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bags residents can get – these are the bags pictured above that contain 10 individual Silver Vault Bags each. Everyone who gets these will be glad they did.

“Residents who want to cash in on the lowest ever State Minimum set by the private Federated Mint better hurry.

That’s because after the deadline ends, the State Minimum for these pristine half ounce Arizona State Silver Bars set by the Federated Mint will go up to $50 per bar no matter how many bars people get,” Withrow said.

“We’re bracing for all the calls and we’re doing the best we can, but with just hours left before the deadline ends, residents who find the first three digits of their zip code listed in today’s publication need to call the National Silver Hotline,” Withrow said. ■

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If you find your zip code on the distribution list printed in today’s publication read below then call: 1-800-280-2754 EXT. FMM4262

I keep calling and can’t get through: Keep trying. Right now everyone’s looking to cash in on the lowest State Minimum ever set by the Federated Mint. In fact, we won’t be surprised if thousands of residents order up as many Silver Vault Bags as they can get their hands on before the deadline ends. That’s because the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint has been slashed to the lowest ever at just $29 for each silver half ounce bar for the next 2 days for everyone who gets the vault bags. And since each Silver Vault Bag contains 10 pristine State Silver Bars for just $290 we’re guessing state residents will be claiming two or more bags while they’re up for grabs. But all those who really want to cash in are taking the Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bags containing 100 State Silver Bars before the deadline ends and the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint goes up to $500 per Vault Bag. In fact the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint is reduced even further for those getting the Jumbo Bags so just be sure to ask the National Silver Hotline operator for your discount. So if lines are busy keep trying.

How much are the Silver Vault Bags worth: It’s hard to tell how much these Silver Vault Bags could be worth since they are in pristine condition, but those who get in on this now will be glad they did. That’s because the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint goes up to $500 per bag after the deadline ends. So you better believe that at just $290 the Silver Vault bags are a real steal for everyone who beats the deadline.

Can I buy one State Silver Bar: Yes. But, the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of just $29 per bar applies only to residents who purchase a Silver Vault Bag(s). That means only those residents who order a Silver Vault Bag(s) or a Jumbo Silver Ballistic Bag get the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint. All single bar purchases, orders placed after the 2-day deadline and all non-state residents must pay the $50 per silver half ounce bar.

Why is the State Minimum set by the Federated Mint so low now: Thousands of U.S. residents stand to miss the deadline to get the silver at the lowest ever State Minimum set by the private Federated Mint. Now all residents who find the first three digits of their zip code on the Distribution List above are getting the Silver Vault Bags for themselves and all the solid .999 pure State Silver Bars found inside. The price for each Silver Vault Bag after the deadline ends is set at $500 which is $50 per bar, but residents who beat the 2-day deadline only cover the lowest ever State Minimum set by the Federated Mint of just $290 for each State Silver Vault Bag which is just $29 per bar as long as they call the National Silver Hotline before the deadline ends at: 1-800-280-2754 EXT. FMM4262. Hotlines open at 8:30 A.M. FRONT VIEW

BACK VIEW INDEPENDENCE: 1776 signifies the year America declared independence proclaiming inalienable rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Desert Rose hopes to bring back entertainment soon

BY SAMANTHA PACHECO MOLINA

While Outzen said she and her staff are happy to be open, she stressed they are adamant about following Arizona Department of Health Services guidelines, including a strict mask policy.

The restaurant continues to offer both indoor and outdoor spaced seating with up to 10 guests per table. All doors will remain open to avoid door and knob touching and multiple disinfectant stations installed throughout the premises.

“We have a very large facility, and we hope our customers feel comfortable with how we approached things,”

“As soon as the state opens up and allows us to host larger parties and our normal capacity, we will be able to return with all the entertainment we know and love,” Outzen said.

Like many other local establishments, Desert Rose was hit hard when COVID-19 closed virtually all dine-in restaurants and is still feeling the im-

Restaurants and bars across the state were among the first businesses to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

One of many struggling to keep pace is Glendale’s Desert Rose Pizza and Gastropub.

Owners Pete Gliniak and Teresa Outzen have been serving the West Valley since 2016 and pride their establishment as a family-friendly, dog-friendly and sports-friendly pub.

“We started Desert Rose because we really couldn’t find anything on the westside that was an independent, cool place to go eat,” Outzen said. “We had a bed and breakfast around the corner and decided to create our own little destination spot.”

The eclectic restaurant is known for its live music, fun games and diverse events. However, since the pandemic occurred, Desert Rose was forced to postpone community favorites like Poker Night and VW Meet and Greets.

While Outzen said they plan to bring back some entertainment next month, she added that it all depends on how current virus trends look.

pacts five months later.

Outzen explained that while the restaurant has many regular customers, they tend to be older clientele who are not going out as much.

“With the stopping of the economy and people not working, it has definitely affected people’s income, and unfortunately, they can’t afford to go out,” Outzen said.

“But that’s why we are hopeful when we can get back to normal and get people back to work, they can come on out again.”

She noted a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan helped the Desert Rose keep from wilting—and continuing to pay its employees.

“If it wasn’t for the PPP loan, we never would have reopened,” Outzen said. “We had no funds to give us the opportunity to start over again—and that’s essentially what we had to do.”

Outzen said. “We really wanted to keep experiences fun and entertaining for the whole family.”

And she hopes old and new cusomters will feel comfortable enough to stop by. “Even if they aren’t comfortable with dining in, we offer curbside pickup and plenty of gift cards,” Outzen said. “Just remember: When you support us, you are also supporting your local community and staff.”

Desert Rose Pizza and Gastropub is at 6729 N. 57th Drive, Glendale.

Peoria writer pens ‘The Awakening’

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF “Emily tried to see the images from around the corner where she was spying, but mostly saw only the back of the strange woman’s head. ‘Look at those trees, Robert. That reminds me of our trip to New Orleans,’ Mrs. Jones said and leaned her head against her husband’s broad shoulder, gazing longingly at the screen. ‘It should. The North Shore Academy is located in Mandeville, Louisiana, which isn’t far from New Orleans.’

“The woman continued with her spiel, explaining everything from the uniforms to the enforced curfews and the rigorous curriculum.

“Emily wrinkled her nose at the men-

tion of uniforms and curfews. Still, the idea of living away from home—at a school that wanted her—made her 11-almost-12-year-old mind do cartwheels.”

So begins “The Awakening,” the debut novel from Peoria writer Jill Ellis—writing under the pen name Anne Wiliams.

Her novel was nominated for a 2020 Author Academy Award in the Best Young Adult Book category.

“The Awakening” tells the story of 11-year-old Emily, who is learning what it means to have an old soul and the ability to manipulate elements.

“Hundreds of books from authors throughout the world are up for an Author Academy Award,” said Kary Oberbrunner, founder of Author Academy

Elite and the Author Academy Awards.

The top 10 finalists in each category will be invited to present their book synopsis at an Author Academy Awards Red Carpet Session Oct. 23.

“I’m a Phoenix native but have lived in Peoria for 18 years,” Ellis said.

“This is my first published novel, but I’ve been writing since 2009.”

In 2002, she moved with her husband, who died in 2017, to Peoria from Mesa “because we needed a larger home to raise a family and I wanted to be closer to my parents, who live in North Phoenix.”

Her husband’s suicide derailed her desire to write: “Being in the depths of grief made it difficult to find my writing muse.

One morning, I woke up with the idea for ‘The Awakening’ and wrote nonstop for a month, completing it and the second book in the series, ‘True Self.’

“The journey to publish my books has been life-changing and truly a labor of love.”

Ellis has two children, a son who “just moved to his dorm in Prescott to attend Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University” and a daughter in eighth grade.

The writer has big plans: “The Awakening” is the first in the Soul Magic trilogy, with the second book scheduled to be released Nov. 10.

“The Awakening” is available online at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, Target and Walmart or at the author’s website, thesoulmagicseries.com.

One “Awakening” reader shared

a glowing review on amazon.com: “There are clandestine truths hovering just outside of vision and earshot which keep the story flowing as our protagonist struggles to find her own truth and where she belongs in this new world opening rapidly before her eyes.

I’m very excited to see where Williams takes this flourishing series and watch as Emily grows into herself.”

An excerpt shows this is a good book for young readers who like a little mystery: “The woman collected her things and stood to leave. For the first time, Emily got a good look at her. She was a tall, slender woman with a kind face that matched the intonation of her words.

She walked gracefully to the door, flashing a smile toward Emily, who was still in spy-mode.

“There is something very familiar about that woman, Emily thought.”

“one flesh.” The two became one, and the one became many. Out of their relationship came a family. That family filled the earth.

Then, after the relationship was established, God gave them a mission—or what I call a task. God charged them with subduing or properly governing the earth.

Why did God establish the idea of a relationship first and task second? Because it’s God’s divine design. It has the power to take the raw material of what is given to us and turn into something greater than us.

Here’s the principle in three words: agreement, unity, abundance. You need to have two different individuals to agree—or what I call “two or three to agree.” That comes from another Bible verse. When two separate parties agree, the result is unity. When those parties dwell together in unity, there the Lord commands a blessing. Psalm 133. Unity creates the power to operate in a marriage, a business, a nation, a community, a family, etc.

What’s the idea behind this? God has given everyone a measure of grace to do what they are created to do. Adam had a measure of grace. Eve had a measure of grace. But when Adam and Eve covenanted in a relationship called marriage, they moved from a measure of grace to grace without measure. One cannot multiply. One multiplied by one equals one. But when two become

one, there is a multiplication of talent, strength and vision.

Where one is weak, the other is strong, and vice versa.

God knew one person with a measure of grace could not be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth or govern the earth effectively. It takes two or three to agree.

Let’s summarize it. Here’s the order of creation: The two become one, the one becomes many and the many do work (task)—first agreement, then unity, with the result being abundance (multiply and fill). Out of relationship comes a task. Relationship, then task, is not just a marriage principle. It’s an insight into the power to create and govern.

Just think, right from the first days in the Bible, God said, “Teamwork makes the dream work.” How about you? Which of those four styles are you? Hint: None of us is as great as all of us if you want to have a quality of life and get something done.

A mother looked out a window and saw Bryson playing church with their three kittens. He had them lined up and was preaching to them. The mother turned around to do some work.

A while later, she heard meowing and scratching on the door. She went to the window and saw Bryson baptizing the kittens.

Peoria Times Columnist

She opened the door and said, “Bryson, stop that! You’ll drown those kittens.” Bryson looked at her and said with much conviction is his voice, “They should have thought about that before they joined the church.”

Well, you might say that in this story, Bryson was really into “task” but not too much into “relationship.” Just ask those kittens. We see this all the time. Someone wants to climb the corporate ladder and doesn’t care what they do or who they destroy to get there. A politician wants to win so badly that they spin the truth, sell themselves to an interest group, and employ hate speech on TV against their competition.

Life consists of both relationship and task. Adam and Eve are great examples of the principle of “relationship” and “task.”

“And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue (govern it wisely) it.” Genesis 1:27-28.

God made male and female to be fruitful and multiply. They were given equal status but different roles to accomplish what God desired “them” to do. Notice God taught Adam and Eve about the right relationship before they were given any task. He gave them the assignment of learning how to become

Westside Head Start begins virtual programs

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Catholic Charities Westside Head Start recently began virtual learning programs. To ensure that all students can participate, staff members are delivering supplies to children and families who request them.

Westside Head Start serves families in Peoria, Glendale, Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage,Goodyear, Littleton and Tolleson.

Catholic Charities Westside Head Start provides comprehensive early, continuous, year-round childhood education through a holistic approach by working with family members.

Programs emphasize pre-reading; language; math; cognitive skills; and health, social and emotional competence to prepare disadvantaged children for school and to maximize their potential for a bright future.

“Children of all ages will be dealing with the largest achievement gap in recent history, so we are doing everything we possibly can to ensure kids are getting what they need to continue their development and education, even at this early age,” WSHS Executive Director Yatin Dua said.

“Staff is doing all they can to connect parents with the information they will need. If a family doesn’t have a computer or even a phone to connect through Zoom or Skype,

Westside Head Start, which serves families in Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Glendale, Goodyear, Littleton, Peoria and Tolleson, has started virtual learning programs.

staff is dropping off packets, crayons, supplies and more so the kids can participate.”

All staff members are working from home but can go to classrooms at district sites and modular locations to pick up supplies or access technology as needed. CDC protocols for hygiene and safety are strictly enforced.

WSHS collaborates with Catholic Charities’ philanthropy department and other area agencies to assist families struggling with food insecurity to ensure they continue receiving food boxes generously provided by donors.

In addition, the district is working to provide grab-and-go lunches.

“During normal times, the kids are provided food each day in the class-

room, and many families count on that,” Dua said.

Dua said no estimate on returning to the

classroom has been made. WSHS is monitoring the local guidelines as well as working with national Head Start to ensure the safest environment possible. Parent, advisory and policy councils will hold meetings virtually.

Students and families eligible to enroll in Westside Head Start include expectant mothers, children up to age 5, children with special needs, foster children and homeless children.

Enrollment can be done online at catholiccharities.org/all-locations/youth-development. For more information, call 623436-9868.

PUSD to use Florida Virtual teaching online platforms

BY ERIN BRASSEY

Peoria Times Staff Writer

Like other districts around the state, Peoria Unified School District began the school year with online teaching.

And, like other districts, PUSD has not decided when students will be able to return to Peoria and Glendale classrooms.

Dr. Carter Davidson, the district’s chief personnel officer, said the district has

been hiring teachers who will solely lead virtual classrooms.

PUSD administration said families will have a choice between in-person and online schooling for the fall semester once in-person learning begins.

“Those who opt to continue as fulltime virtual students will still have access to their teachers should they need help,” said Marla Hobbs, executive

director of curriculum and instruction.

The district is using Florida Virtual as its online teaching platform, Hobbs explained. However, teachers will contact students outside of the platform every day.

Hobbs said Florida Virtual follows a national standard, which will give students “rigorous content and instruction” in order to still have a full education.

Hobbs explained virtual learning may not be the right option for every student. She said students will need internet access and should be self-motivated in order to get their work done, but younger students may need help navigating the platform.

The district can provide laptops if needed, she said.

Teachers will be continually trained in Florida Virtual, Hobbs said.

Hobbs said the amount of time a student will spend working on courses will increase with a student’s grade level.

Kindergarteners will have about three hours of work a day breaking down to 30 minutes for all subjects except English, which will be about an hour.

First- through third-graders will have an hour for each of the main subjects and 30 minutes of electives and will spend about four and a half hours working daily.

Fourth- through sixth-graders will have a similar day with an extra 15 minutes each for English and math for a total of five hours a day.

Seventh- and eighth-graders will spend an hour and 15 minutes on all their core subjects and 30 minutes on electives for a total of five and a half

Answers

hours.

High school students will spend an hour and a half on every subject for a total of seven and half hours a day.

Electives will be available to students depending on grade level. Kindergarten through fifth-grade students can take art, physical education and computers.

Sixth-grade through eighth-grade students will have the opportunity to take art, physical education and music.

All of the high school courses are NCAA approved, and students will still be able to take advanced-placement and dual-enrollment courses, Hobbs said.

She said the district is in discussions with local colleges to make sure Florida Virtual will work with their curriculum for dual enrollment.

“We know that our students have been away from us, and we’ve missed them greatly,” Hobbs said.

“We know that we want to reconnect and make sure that our students are doing well.”

She explained students will have regular interactions with their teachers and peers even in an online format in order to attend to the social needs of the students.

The district’s student support will also still be available to all the students if they need immediate help. To reach the support line, students can call 623412-5262 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday.

Hobbs noted families can choose to change to classroom instruction at the end of the semester if they feel their child is not getting the schooling experience they need.
