Education department, PUSD resolve racial complaints

BY JORDAN ROGERS Peoria Times Managing Editor

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights recently resolved a complaint of racial ha rassment filed against the Peoria Unified School District.

In the agreement, Peoria Unified School District (PUSD) commits to take steps to ensure nondiscrimination based on race, color and national origin in its education programs and activities.

“Every student in every school de serves to learn free from discriminatory harassment,” said Catherine E. Lhamon, assistant secretary for the Office for Civ il Rights. “Peoria Unified School District

today commits to come into compliance with long-standing federal civil rights requirements, ensuring that district stu dents learn without discrimination based on race or national origin.”

The district’s commitments in the vol untary resolution agreement include:

• P roviding support and remedies, where appropriate, to students who were sub jected to peer harassment based on race, color or national origin at the school.

• Conducting a climate assessment that examines the prevalence of harassment at the school, the hostile environment created by the widespread harassment, the school’s and district’s handling of reports of harassment, and measures for reducing harassment at the school and

for improving the district’s response to reports of harassment.

• Issuing an anti-harassment statement and a notice to parents about identify ing and reporting harassment and about how the district is expected to respond.

• Reviewing, revising and disseminating policies, forms and record-keeping pro cedures related to harassment based on race, color and national origin.

• Training staff about legal requirements under Title VI, reporting and respond ing to harassment, prohibited retalia tion, cultural competency and implicit bias.

• P roviding developmentally appropriate

County attorney’s office hosts panel discussing fentanyl

BY SAMANTHA REA Peoria Times Staff Writer

Increasing amounts of the deadly syn thetic drug fentanyl are being traf ficked into Maricopa County, and drug dealers are focusing their efforts on Arizona’s youth.

That message was the focus of a com munity presentation and Q&A at Indepen dence High School in Glendale on Sept.

27. Moderated by Maricopa County At torney Rachel Mitchell, a panel of drug experts discussed how fentanyl is being pushed into communities using a variety of tools.

“The seizure quantities that we see now are something that I would never have ex pected to ever see,” said Jeffrey Beaver, Maricopa County Attorney’s Office Drug Enforcement Bureau chief.

According to a recent press release by the DEA, over 10.2 million fentanyl pills and 980 pounds of fentanyl powder were seized this year in Arizona alone between May 23 and Sept. 8.

Fentanyl is 50 times stronger than her oin, 100 times stronger than morphine, and can be snorted or smoked. At the pre sentation, Shelley Mowery, demand re duction coordinator at Arizona High-In tensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA),

compared the potency inconsistency of the pills to a chocolate chip cookie.

The HIDTA is a grant-funded initiative of the Office of National Drug Control Policy. The program aids various law en forcement agencies which operate in crit ical drug trafficking areas of the country.

“That fentanyl can be anywhere in that pill…” Mowery said. “There can be enough fentanyl to kill four people in one pill, and there could be another pill that has no fentanyl at all in it.”

Beaver said parents should look out for small blue tablet pills about the size of a

educational programs about how to recognize and report racial harass ment for school students.

During its investigation, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) determined that the district failed to address harassment of students on the basis of race, color and national origin, and was in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its implementing regulations.

OCR’s report stated that peer harass ment included race-based slurs, such as targeting an expletive about Black students and “ching chong” at students; mocking police killings of Black peo ple; pulling eyes back to mock Asian students; mimicking “Heil Hitler” salutes; drawing Swastikas on photo graphs of students’ faces on notebooks and in a bathroom; and saying Black people “do not deserve to live” and “should die,” a student’s skin looked like “burnt” food, and that a student should “go back to (their) country” and “eat dog.”

According to the report, employees repeatedly touched and commented about a Black student’s hair.

“The persistent, pervasive and se vere harassment and the district’s in effective response caused significant and enduring academic, social, and emotional harm to the student who was the subject of the OCR complaint,” the

Catherine E. Lhamon, assistant secre tary for the U.S. Department of Educa tion’s Office for Civil Rights, said that, after the resolution, Peoria Unified School District is committing to come into compliance with long-standing federal civil rights requirements.

report said. “Moreover, OCR found that a schoolwide hostile environment existed because at least a dozen other students of color at the school were likewise harassed based on race, color or national origin by numerous peers.

“Although administrators and teach ers at the school were aware of wide

spread harassment, the district repeat edly responded ineffectively, or not at all, to reported harassment, allowing the harassment to continue on a consis tent basis and to create a school-level hostile environment. The district also did not offer any support or remedies to students who were harassed.”

As a result, OCR determined that the district permitted students of color to be in a “sufficiently severe” hostile environment based on race, color or national origin that was so persistent or pervasive that it interfered with, or could have reasonably interfered with, their ability to participate in or benefit from the school’s program.

With that, PUSD is confident it can make the changes requested by OCR.

“Our district has been cooperating with the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Civil Rights, regarding a past complaint at Vistancia Elemen tary School,” PUSD said in a state ment. “We are moving forward with the voluntary resolution agreement as we are confident in our new leader ship to build a positive and inclusive environment for students and staff at Vistancia.

“Peoria Unified remains unwavering in our commitment to provide equal educational opportunities to all stu dents and an environment that is free from harassment of any kind.” PT

Second Saturdays

BY SUMMER AGUIRRE Peoria Times Staff Writer

Forthose who aren’t early risers but enjoy the atmosphere of local markets, Peoria’s Second Satur days night market is a great opportuni ty for a night out.

Brought in collaboration between the city of Peoria and Steve LeVine Enter tainment & Public Relations (SLE), the night market will take over Old Town Peoria from Jefferson Street to 83rd Avenue from 5 to 9 p.m. every second Saturday of the month beginning Oct. 8 until April 8, 2023.

“We love that we can showcase things that are significant to the city and au thentic to the city of Peoria,” said Steve LeVine, CEO of SLE. “We’re also ex cited to bring in outside entertainment, culture, activities and events through out the year, as well, so that it’s just re ally fresh, new and exciting and gives people a reason to experience some

thing outside of their regular routines.”

The market’s October kickoff will be themed in coordination with the fall season, offering festive Halloween ac tivities for guests. Alongside live mu sic and entertainment, there will be a variety of over 40 vendors featuring arts and crafts, baked goods, candles, clothing and even a blacksmith.

Attending families will each receive a pumpkin on a first-come, first-served basis. LeVine said the promotion was a great success last year and that it’s a way for the team to say thank you to those who come and enjoy the event.

“What people can expect on a month ly basis is a night market feel,” LeVine said. “There’s so many day markets, farmers markets and all these things that happen throughout the entire com munity, that it was fun to come up with this with the city of Peoria.”

LeVine said in the past they featured tethered hot air balloon rides for the holidays and a live performance from

to Old Town Peoria

a BMX bike tour, the latter of which is making another appearance sometime this year.

“There are some other surprises that are not 100% confirmed throughout the year — they will definitely pop up on our Instagram,” he said. “I promise they’re big, fun and cool, and it’s going to definitely be exciting for people to show up and see.”

Last year, the night market attracted over 10,000 attendees on some days. Holiday season especially saw a spike in marketgoers.

“Coming out of the pandemic, we didn’t really know what to expect,” LeVine said. “It was our first time working with them (the city of Peo ria) and it found a lot of successes and we learned a lot of things that really worked for the community and the city of Peoria, and we’re really excited for year two.”

For Levine, Second Saturdays is dis tinctive in that it can be enjoyed how

ever each individual attendee wants.

“We want to make sure that the peo ple who live in Peoria really enjoy this event and really make it their own, where they get to say, ‘We’re looking forward to our Second Saturday,’” he said. “We also like introducing Peoria to a lot of locals who are outside, who are looking for something different and they can go into another city and go to a great event.”

For more information about Second Saturdays, visit az.gov or the event’s Instagram. Confirmed monthly activi ties, vendors and entertainment will be advertised on its social media as each date nears. PT

Signatures ‘fell short’ to block ESAs for all Arizona students

BY TORI GANTZ Cronkite News

The apparently successful peti tion drive that blocked a “uni versal” expansion of Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Accounts may not have been so successful after all.

Officials with Save Our Schools Ar izona, who said Friday, Sept. 23, that they turned in thousands more signa tures than needed to force a vote on the issue, have now conceded that they “definitely got the numbers wrong.”

And while they were not ready to admit defeat, they said they were not optimistic that the secretary of state’s office would find that they collected the 118,823 signatures needed.

“We fell short. We are, of course, awaiting the accurate number from the secretary of state’s office,” said Beth Lewis, executive director of Save Our Schools Arizona.

Lewis’ comments came Tuesday,

Sept. 27, one day after supporters of the universal ESA program said their own analysis of the petitions showed the number of signatures submitted was closer to 89,000 — well below the 141,714 SOS Arizona claimed it had.

It could be mid-October before the secretary of state’s office reviews “every sheet and every signature” to determine the actual number of legit imate signatures on the petitions, a spokesperson for the office said. She did confirm, however, that the office received 8,175 petition sheets, each of which can hold up to 15 signatures — 122,625 signatures at most, a cushion of just over 3%.

If there are more than 118,823, the law will be put on hold until 2024, when it would go before voters; if there are fewer, the expansion of the school voucher program will take ef fect immediately.

As of Sept. 19, the Arizona Depart ment of Education said it had received

Parents should also be wary of cut-up straws or metal straws they might find, as well as tin foil with any burn residue on it.

Counterfeit medications are rapidly increasing in presence within the state and among the country’s youth. Matt Long, school resources officer with Glendale Union High School Dis trict, warned parents to monitor their children’s social media, where young kids and adults may be in contact with dealers.

Access to these drugs is easily at tainable, and Long compared the buy ing and selling process to the food de livery app DoorDash.

program, including the Goldwater Institute and the Center for Arizona Policy, who said petition organizers

Long said. “It’s almost like DoorDash; they will come to you.”

For Long, the emojis in a username are often an indication of whether or not someone is a drug dealer.

The presentation included a slide with a legend of decoded emoji drug codes. Some emojis commonly used by dealers are the gas pump, leaves, trees, a honey pot, snowflakes, a solid blue circle, pills, a shopping cart and an electrical plug, among others.

Long also recommended monitor ing behaviors. He referred to what is known as “the nod” — a side effect experienced by opioid users after us ing the drug where they fall asleep virtually anywhere, doing just about anything.

For parents with children who don’t know what drugs are, the panel warned of opioid naiveness and em phasizes the importance of discussing the dangers of drugs with their kids.

overstated” the number of

“Our petition review team counted all the signatures,” said Joe Setyon, a Goldwater Institute spokesperson. “They double-checked every line to ensure accuracy.”

Goldwater Director of Education Policy Matt Beienburg said the insti tute was “participating in the process to make sure that there was an accurate count of the number of signatures.”

The current Empowerment Scholar ship Account program gives taxpayer dollars to families whose children at tend failing public schools or a school that cannot provide the services their children need. The families can use that money to pay for private or other nonpublic schooling.

The new law would expand that pro gram to any family in the state, giv ing as much as $6,500 per child in exchange for not attending a public school.

The law was sponsored by Rep. Ben Toma, R-Peoria, who said in a

prepared statement on Sept. 28 that “when funding follows the student, the performance of schools and stu dents has improved.”

“Proponents of the failed referen dum built their effort on the fallacy that public schools are harmed by Ar izona’s ESA program,” Toma’s state ment said. “That of course is untrue.”

The bill was the last signed into law by Gov. Doug Ducey — a move Lew is called “deliberate.”

“That took 10 days out of our 90day window in which citizens are al lowed to refer a bill, which may not sound huge to some people, but those 10 days… definitely broke our ef forts,” Lewis said of Ducey’s delay.

She said her group of grassroots vol unteers did everything in their power to meet the Sept. 23 deadline to turn in petitions, but were often confronted and “harassed” by supporters of the law as they tried to collect signatures.

The Center for Arizona Policy Presi dent Cathi Herrod dismissed claims of harassment. She said it was a “grass

roots group of par ents organized to track the petition drive” who were merely trying to counter inaccurate descriptions of the law and “share the truth” about ESA funding.

Lewis praised the work of her volun teers, who she said were “operating under an extreme amount of stress and chaos.” She said she wants peo ple to understand “how wild it is at the end.”

“We had petitions just flying in from around the state, we had folks coming up from Sierra Vista and Yuma and the Navajo Nation,” Lewis said.

Even if her organization ends up falling short on the petitions, she said

it is “not going to give up the fight.”

“There’s potential for litigation for fu ture initiatives,” Lewis said. “We are not going anywhere, and we’re not stopping this fight for the future of public education in the state.” PT

“One Pill Can Kill” is the motto when discussing drugs like fentanyl with kids.

Stephanie Siete, public information officer for Community Bridges Inc., said when it comes to a warning sign if kids are using marijuana, underage drinking, vaping nicotine or THC, it’s likely that they are attaining the sub stances from an online dealer who will more than likely offer them pills at some point.

“We all need to be heightened alert and (aware)…” Siete said. “Do your homework. … This isn’t a joke. This isn’t just kids, this is Arizona. It’s our community. This is where we live. This is our lives.”

Kim Humphrey, founder and CEO of Parents of Addicted Loved Ones, was also in attendance to speak at the presentation. He shared his own jour ney and turmoil as the father of two addict sons.

Humphrey said he, like many par ents, never thought his son ever would

or ever was doing drugs, until another parent raised concerns for his eldest.

Fentanyl can hold a very strong grip on a user’s life, and parents of addicts who struggle to find help and care for their underage and adult children can know that Humphrey’s knowledge is from experience and that the advice he gives is worth hearing.

Since his sons’ addictions began, his eldest is nine years recovered and just recently had another child with his wife. His youngest is also recovered and living a professional, fulfilling life.

“The most important thing that you can remember is that in all situations, you will always be a role model to your children,” Humphrey said. “So if they refuse, even as adults, to get the help they need, you can get the help you need. And by showing them how you are going about getting help … then you are setting an example for them.”

ADOT driving test changes evoke fond memories

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist

summer af ter I turned 17, my father took me to a middle school parking lot and at tempted to teach me how to drive a car. This did not go well, mostly because we were operating at cross purposes. I wanted to drive fast. My dad want ed me not to crash his beloved Toyota Tercel.

Voices were raised. Feelings were bruised. The car may have brushed a traffic barrier. Thus, my driving les sons quickly came to an end — until my mother took over.

Which was how I learned to drive on my mom’s ancient 1972 Ford Pinto with a four-speed stick shift, a mushy clutch and 150,000 miles on it.

We practiced two nights a week,

working up to the big encore: parallel parking, which my mother simulated for me with some five-gallon paint cans and a couple of stolen traffic py lons.

TheChances are good the Perry Middle parking lot still has splashes of latex semi-gloss from my many suboptimal tries at parallel parking. There was a rhythm to it that eluded me, a sense of space and objects my eyes and hands couldn’t nail.

Especially with my mom screaming over the screech of grinding gears.

Still, when the big day came and I had the Motor Vehicles examiner in the car, I wedged that Pinto into a parking space well enough to earn my driver’s license.

This immediately surpassed winning the eighth grade spelling bee as my life’s biggest accomplishment to that point.

And it’s why I was a bit nostalgic this week when I saw that the Arizo

na Department of Transportation has changed the state’s road test so it no longer requires new drivers to parallel park as a condition of earning a license.

I get it: Parallel parking is one of those skills, like knowing how to drive stick or how to start a fire, that has been lost to time and modern convenience.

ADOT did add a few wrinkles to the test that I appreciate, like requiring each would-be driver to locate the ve hicle’s registration and insurance card among the old napkins in the glove compartment.

There’s also a brief vehicle inspec tion to make sure the turn signals work — though I’ve rarely seen an Arizona driver use that particular feature — and a safety test to prove the applicant can

find the hazard lights and emergency brake — again, not Arizona specialties.

Only then will the road test begin.

“This portion of the test will now take approximately 15-20 minutes to cov er the five to eight miles that better reflects a typical commute,” ADOT’s press release explained.

Their prep materials indicate that screwing up following distance during the test is a 10-point violation, while hitting the curb gets you four points. Score 21 points or more and you fail.

The test apparently doesn’t include points for tweezing your eyebrows while driving, using an electric razor while on the freeway, or dislodging a

But it’s not the bedfellows who war rant watching… it’s the bedbugs.

Political bedbugs find their fulfill ment in efforts aimed at “campaign in festation,” hoping to first deprive their targeted candidates of sleep — and eventually of votes.

A caterpillar becomes a butterfly through metamorphosis; a political bedbug undergoes a process that is completely reversed, metaphorically speaking.

Once a political “high flier,” often due to very generous financial backing or a famous family name (or both), the

reclusive creature is soon attracted to the neon sign of Washington’s so-called “smart set.”

Willing to trade principles for prom inence, the previously promising pub lic servant begins to echo the outlook of elites, forgetting the promises made and the priorities expressed by the folks “back home.”

It becomes quite problematic if “back home” isn’t really back home… if the luminary in question is much more comfortable living amidst the bright lights of the big city and all the attendant hubbub, instead of the quieter, simpler ways of the remote “residence.”

True residents of the aforementioned “residence” eventually respond harshly and justly.

Simply stated, they find their voices through their votes.

But rather than being humbled and chastened, the soon-to-be former office holder wallows in self-pity, dependent on the accolades of the elites, who are happy to utter them loudly, if insincere ly.

After all, there’s an ulterior motive afoot… one for which the now-van quished, earthbound and publicly em barrassed “public servant” is uniquely equipped… if “handled” in a clever, faux compassionate manner.

Revenge.

And that promised vengeance is found through (you guessed it) voting.

Only now, the newly created political bedbug advocates voting for candidates anointed by the elites… candidates who will quickly disassociate with the new ly motivated “pest” once the masterful manipulation is complete and any en visioned electoral advantage is realized or rejected.

Peoria Panthers off to fast start under new head coach

BY DAVID MEDINA Peoria Times Staff Writer

Peoria High School is ready to start a new era for the football program under its new head coach, Jason Golden.

Golden knows that he has big shoes to fill, as he is replacing Will Babb, a storied figure in Peoria High School’s history. Babb was Peoria’s quarter back when the Panthers won back-toback state championships in 1986 and 1987.

Babb would go on to join Peoria’s coaching staff as offensive coordina tor in 2010, and he would later take over head coaching duties during the 2012 season. Babb led the team to sev en playoff appearances in his 10-year tenure as Peoria’s head coach and re signed after the 2021 season, a season that the Panthers would finish 4-6.

While Babb has left a lot to live up to, Golden is no stranger to the duties of a head coach. He started his coach ing career as the defensive coordinator for Cactus High School, and was there during the 2002 and 2003 seasons.

When Raymond S. Kellis High School opened in 2004, Golden be came the school’s inaugural head foot ball coach and stayed there until 2013.

In 2014, he began his tenure at Peo ria High as its defensive coordinator.

When Golden became head coach in February, he became Peoria’s third head coach since 1986. Because of this, Golden said the lessons he learned from Babb will help him a long way.

“Under coach Babb, I learned about the community and just the rich tradi tion we (Peoria) have, and about up holding the standards of things of the

past,” Golden said.

While learning about the history of the program is vital for Golden’s suc cess, he said one of the best things he learned from Babb has not only to do with football, but with everyday life.

“He taught me just how to treat people. I think early on when you’re a young head coach, sometimes it’s all about the Xs and Os and winning games,” Golden said. “I think he did so much for the community, for our school, and that’s why I wanted my son to play for him. He truly taught me how to be a big part of this community and the rich tradition of Peoria.”

The standards left by Babb have been upheld thus far during Golden’s start as the Panthers’ head coach, as the Panthers are off to a 3-1 start on

the season after defeating the Sierra Linda Bulldogs 21-0. This win for the Panthers already puts them one away from matching their win total from the 2021 season.

Despite this fast start from his team, Golden said the goal for this season remains the same.

“We want to stay on course and just get better each week,” he said. “This season defensively, we first gave up 35, and then we gave up 28, and then 17. Last night our defense got a shut out, so just trying to get better each week. We have a lot of young kids, and we started a freshman at quarter back last night.

“It’s about getting better each week and coaching details so we can get more complicated and more complex

each week as our season goes. So, we’re just taking one game at a time. I know it sounds cliché, but with a young group, that’s kind of what you have to do.”

With all of the positive strides and improvements this season, Golden said the future of Peoria’s football pro gram is looking bright, but said there will be some growing pains along the way.

“I said, ‘You know what, if I’m go ing to take this over, we’re going to build it from the ground up, and it’s going to take some time,’” Golden said. “It may take a year or so to get these young kids up up to speed, be cause we may start 10 sophomores next year, but we’re going to make sure we’re doing it the right way.”

In his first season as Peoria High School football’s head coach, Jason Golden is looking to uphold the standards set by previous head coach Will Babb. (Jason Golden/Submitted)

Jake McCarthy embraces David Peralta’s spot

BY NIKASH NATH Peoria Times Staff Writer

Replacing a fan favorite is never an easy task, especially when said star is Arizona Diamond backs leftfielder David Peralta.

Jake McCarthy returned to leftfield when Peralta, whose nickname is the Freight Train, was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in late July after nine years with the team.

In the first game following the trans action, McCarthy ripped a double and did a mopey version of Peralta’s trade mark move. It was a scene that went viral.

“David’s our guy,” McCarthy said. “I did it the day he got traded and kind of forgot he got traded, and I was thinking shoot, he’s not here to see it.” McCarthy has been an impact play er for the D-backs since being called

up in the middle of July. McCarthy is hitting .288/.350/.446 to go along with eight home runs and 41 RBIs this sea son as of Sept. 24. He was placed on the bereavement list on Sept. 23. He’ll be out a minimum of three days.

The youthful outfield, which also features the likes of Daulton Varsho, Alek Thomas, Corbin Carroll and Stone Garrett, has garnered headlines for its strong defensive moves. The 25-year-old from Scranton, Pennsyl vania, said the group knows each oth

School records for rushing yards, 6,080; season, 2,105; and game, 351. He is also the school’s all-time touch down leader in history with 80, the season, 30, and game, 5.

He’s following in his family’s foot steps. His father, Joe Jr., played base ball at the University of South Carolina and was drafted three times. McCar thy’s brother, Joe Jr., also played base ball at the University of Virginia from 2013 to 2015 and made his Major League debut with the Giants in 2020.

Comedian’s new film is a love letter to Arizona

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor

Actor

Rob Schneider has a love affair with the Valley, where he now resides. Because of this, he’s bringing a taste of Hollywood to the Grand Canyon State.

His forthcoming movie “Daddy Daughter Trip” — which he produced, directed and stars in — is now showing exclusively in Harkins Theatres.

Shot in Arizona, the film is a family affair. His wife, Patricia Maya Schnei der, co-wrote the script, and it stars his daughters, singer-songwriter Elle King and Miranda Scarlett Schneider. “Dad dy Daughter Trip” also features the legendary John Cleese (“A Fish Called Wanda,” “Monty Python’s Flying Cir cus”) and introduces Gavin Guerrero.

“We hope people love it,” he said. “I hope people get the love. My daugh

ter is fantastic. She’s young and she never made a movie before, of course. She just turned 8. It was her idea.”

She took multiple takes well, too, once she understood.

“I had to explain that it’s not that easy. It’s work,” he said.

“It’s fun and it’s exciting and it’s glamorous, with camera and makeup. It’s long hours. It was so hot in the back of the car. We had an old car, and it was repainted a beauti ful blue. That’s the theme of the movie.

The color of the car is the color of the sky that I see in Arizona.”

Rob and Cleese appeared at comedy clubs around town during the filming. The actor, often paired with friend Adam Sandler, said it was an honor to work with Cleese.

“He’s my hero,” he said. “He real ly is a wonderful man. He has a lot to say, and God bless him. It’s OK to have opinions. He’s to the left of where I am, but we both agree it’s about making the human condition better. He won’t call himself a conservative, but we do bridge the gap. Free speech is every thing.

“But ‘Life of Brian’ is the greatest British comedy of all time. I love Brit ish humor. Monty Python is the high watermark of comedy in the 20th cen tury. If you think otherwise, you’re not

Peoria festival returns to celebrate film for the fall

BY SUMMER AGUIRRE Peoria Times Staff Writer

Forthe fourth year, the Peoria Film Festival is returning in Oc tober to celebrate the art of film.

A sibling to the larger-scale Phoenix Film Festival, the Peoria festival spot lights the work of new and established filmmakers while giving local mov ie lovers the chance to see films in a high-quality, personal environment. It will run from Oct. 13 to Oct. 16, with all screenings held at the Harkins Ar rowhead Fountains 18 theater in the P83 entertainment district.

“I hope they (attendees) take away that they had a unique experience and they got to see films they may not oth erwise have seen or may not be able to find again,” Peoria Film Festival direc

tor Jason Kearney said.

“Sometimes, we’ll have some film makers who come to the screenings and they’ll talk about the films after, and so it’s just a unique experience. It’s what separates going to the movies and going to a film festival — there should always be a difference in the type of film you see and the type of experience you have.”

This year’s lineup includes 40 inde pendent feature films, documentaries, shorts and artistic works encompassing a wide variety of genres. Like many in dependent films, most are rated PG-13 and up.

Opening night will commence with Juno Films’ “The Same Storm,” which was filmed at the beginning of the

COVID-19 pandemic with iPhones and laptops. Twenty-four characters pro vide an in-depth look into life during lockdowns, the Black Lives Matter movement and the impending 2020 elections, highlighting the necessity of friends and family amidst trying times.

The closing film is “The Return of Tanya Tucker” by Sony Classics, a de piction of the country music legend’s epic return to the spotlight after Amer icana star Brandi Carlile creates an al bum based on Tucker’s life.

Kearney noted several other high light titles screening across the four days, one of which was created by a 16-year-old from Tempe. Titled “Un der Pressure: The Animated Musical,” the film portrays old best friends whose Paris reunion takes a dangerous turn.

The festival director also touched upon “Life in Synchro,” a documenta ry following women competing in syn chronized ice skating.

“We’re partnering with a women’s leadership conference going on in Peo ria that same day to present that film,”

The 2022 Peoria Film Festival is presenting a lineup of approximately 40 films from Oct. 13 to Oct. 16. All screen ings will be held at the Harkins Arrowhead Fountains 18 theater in the P83 District for both entertainment and din ing options. (Peoria Film Festival/Submitted)

educated about comedy, and you can’t argue it. They changed comedy. With out Monty Python, we wouldn’t have had ‘Saturday Night Live.’”

A blend of live action and anima tion, “Daddy Daughter Trip” tells the story of second grader (Miranda) who dreams of a fun-filled spring break va cation her family can’t afford. Against the better judgment of her mom (Jack ie Sandler, Adam Sandler’s wife) and with only coins in their pockets, her dreamer father (Rob) decides to take her on a spring break trip anyway.

After a series of misfortunate adven tures, their vacation is saved when the duo meets a couple of famous travel bloggers.

“It’s about dreams,” Rob said. “If you don’t have money, it doesn’t mean you can’t figure out how to have a dream. It’s about family and hanging on to your dreams.

“In a way, it’s a universal truth that we’re dealing with in the movie that I’m really, really happy with. Besides all the jokes and the physical comedy, this is about love and family and that’s something I really wanted to show.”

The film is also a love letter to Ari zona, where the Schneiders moved two years ago.

“My family, we are California ref ugees,” he said. “Arizona was nice enough to take us in. This is my thankyou letter to the people in Arizona. We feel very welcome here. I’m grateful.

“It’s my love letter to the state and the people who were unbelievably helpful to get this movie made. I show some pretty cool places here and how beau tiful the state is. The differences are in credible between Flagstaff and Sedona. It just goes to show how gorgeous the

was really heartbreaking after having such great momentum in 2019,” he said. “So now we’re kind of getting back to the start a little bit, but it’s to tally worth it and we’re excited to do it.”

Over the course of two decades, the Phoenix Film Festival nonprofit orga nization and its foundation have been bringing the community films from across the globe annually.

The Peoria festival was born to ex pand the organization’s footprint in the Valley, supported by the city of Peoria, Harkins Theatres and Huntington Uni versity.

“It makes sense for us to reach out to an area where there aren’t a lot of film art events going on, and to give Peoria a good festival was important to us,” Kearney said.

Thanks to its connections through the Phoenix festival, the Peoria Film Festival is able to display higher-pro file, novel films while retaining an in timate feel. This sets it apart from the Phoenix festival and other small film

events, many of which are unable to sustain the same level program.

With West Valley flourishing eco nomically, Kearney said he is proud of the film organization’s ability to enrich the Peoria community’s culture and looks forward to seeing the event de velop.

“I think we’ll continue to grow both the caliber of film and the number of films we show over time,” he said. “It won’t be the Phoenix Film Festival — it’s simply not built that way — but I think it’s important to develop its own personality and try to do things more community focused.”

He acknowledged that arts and enter tainment accentuate the quality of life, expressing the need for those opportu nities to remain accessible for all mem bers of the community.

“It’s not just about providing police, fire, roads and schools. It’s about getting people in environments that they want to live in, they want to grow in and enjoy being a part of,” he said. “It’s nice when you live in a place where

things are convenient, you don’t have to drive downtown to go see a play or go see a good movie.”

The Peoria Film Festival’s opening night begins at 6 p.m. at Abuelo’s Mex ican Restaurant before the screenings start at 7 p.m. at the Harkins theater. Peoria residents receive a discount on tickets.

Proceeds will benefit the Phoenix Film Foundation’s educational pro grams, which are devoted to cultivating future Arizona filmmakers by concen trating on the education and exhibition of independent film in the state. PT

Now he’s hoping to bring more films here, thanks to the state’s tax incen tives.

“I was asked to make this movie in other states for a tax rebate,” he said. “I’m glad we did it here. I think we’re looking to open a studio here, but we need to see how this movie does and how it’s received and then we’ll take it from there.

“We want to support other filmmak ers. I’ll produce the movies and make a few more. I don’t know how many more I’ll do. I’ll make more films here and have them made here. As a matter of fact, I’m flying to meet some inves tors to produce more films here.”

leader,

at the telephone company, we set our watches and clocks by the noon whistle at the factory!”

Here’s

an open ing thought I gleaned from Monday morning coffee.

“On the playground of any school, and on any day, you can witness ex amples of children playing ‘follow the leader.’ One child hops, skips or jumps, and all the others follow. As adults, however, many of those children play a variation of that game — called ‘fol low the follower.’

“On the job, they look around, see

how someone else is doing their work, and duplicate the effort. They don’t realize that their fellow employee is also watching someone else. A circu lar ‘follow the follower’ game evolves, resulting in a mediocre workforce. The same can be true in marriages, educa tion, hobbies, sports, religion, politics or culture.”

Consider the story of a telephone op erator in a small town. Every day she received a call from a gentleman ask ing for the correct time. Finally, one day, she asked the mystery caller who he was and why he called every day. His answer? “I’m the one who blows the factory whistle daily at noon. I like to be right on time!” The operator laughed and then responded, “Here

Today’s world and culture seem filled with followers following follow ers. Look at those horrific political ads. Each ad follows the other ad’s strategy. The same intense music; the same out raged, barely able-to-control-their-an ger voice; the same half-truths and lies; the same pretexts taken out of context; magnifying the “demonic” in the fol lower candidate they are demonizing. There’s no leader here because there is no leader to follow. Only lemming followers, following other followers, creating other followers.

It’s OK to follow the leader if you know who they are and where they

are going. However, I suggest it’s not OK to follow mysterious, autonomous, anonymous, beyond wealthy follow ers, hiding behind fancy organizations with nice-sounding names, creating confusion via their emotions-driven chaos commercials.

Jesus found himself with the follower problem early on in His ministry. His following had become too big, too “at tractional,” and too consumer-driven and conditional. The crowd used Jesus as a means to their end, making Him into their image. They weren’t going to embrace the mission given to Jesus by God of building quality people who build quality nations.

Because Jesus was secure, he risked numbers and the polling expert’s data for a higher purpose, fulfilling God’s desire to make disciples that would cre ate cultures of wisdom and upliftment. Jesus wanted people to know where He was going and how to get there. So He said, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

To thin the crowd of followers, He started talking about issues like, “For I come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life.” He was talking about the elements of the communion table, not spiritual canni balism. But I can see the political ads about statements like these. Headlines: Jesus is a cannibal creating cannibals, and I’m appalled.

What happened when he taught those things? “Many of His disciples with drew and were not talking with Him anymore.” They became followers fol lowing followers. But the 12 disciples hung around, saying, “…to whom shall

we go? You (Jesus) have the words of eternal life.” That’s what history-mak ing disciples do. They recognize a true leader worth following when they see one.

Jesus used “attractional” strategies as a starting point for building His church and movement but not at the expense of God’s mission to “disciple nations.”

Jesus presented a new model of church and society. Jesus was designing a na tion changed from the inside out, not the outside in.

Jesus addressed four attractional but completely wrong reasons for follow ing Him in John 6. Unfortunately, in most cases, these four reasons are the same reasons people follow political parties or candidates.

1. Miracles. vs. 2. “a great multitude was following Jesus because they were seeing signs….” Jesus was charismatic and gifted. Jesus did amazing things, and He could at tract people. But you don’t follow

2. Food Stamps, Give-a-Ways, and Entitlements. vs. 26. “…you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.” He compassionately fed the poor, but not forever. Jesus knew trading votes and popular ity for constant handouts created co-dependence, producing follow ers following followers. Jesus lived by God’s voice and a higher calling to uplift all levels of society.

3. They Wanted a Political Party or Candidate to Rid Themselves of an Oppressive Government. vs. 15. “…they were intending to come and take Him by force, to make Him king.” Many followers wanted to make Jesus the king, the president or the senator of their political par ty. They thought politics was the answer to their problems. But Je sus wasn’t about legislation. Legis lation is an outside job. Jesus was about transformation. Transforma tion is an inside job.

4. Jesus’ Branding as an Excellent Leader/Personality/Winner for Peo ple to Identify With. vs. 14. “When people saw the sign … they said, ‘This is of a truth the Prophet who is to come into the world.’” Everyone loves a winner. There will always be another latest, greatest, biggest

Jesus’ mission is to engage, influence and empower underachieving cultures and nations, not just get bodies in chairs or scare people enough to vote. Being attractional might produce larg er church meetings or political rallies, but while this is happening, societal problems worsen. Gaining attendance or winning an election at the expense of losing the culture is not a beneficial societal contribution.

Ask yourself this question. Am I fol lowing a true leader with real solutions or am I following followers who say to their followers, “Where I lead you, you will follow; what I feed you, you will swallow because your head is mighty hollow”? I don’t believe for one mo ment that your head is hollow.

Undoubtedly, the Lord has more for us than this. PT

‘Disney on Ice’ is a cool expedition for families

BY SUMMER AGUIRRE Peoria Times Staff Writer

MickeyMouse and friends are gliding into Phoenix and in viting families on an icy, magical adventure.

Through artful skating performanc es, “Disney on Ice presents Into the Magic” will bring everyone’s beloved characters to life and transform the ice into a story scape celebrating bravery, love and adventure. Produced by Feld Entertainment, the tour will play seven performances from Thursday, Oct. 6, to Sunday, Oct. 9, at the Footprint Center.

“It’s just such a fun and vibrant show,” tour coordinator Clair Teson said. “I think it’s one of those shows that just keeps building and building and there’s something for everybody, so it doesn’t really matter which character you con nect with most — at some point, you’re going to see them out there on the ice.”

Hosted by Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, the audience is taken through many of Disney’s classic and modern

tales during a two-hour graceful, athletic perfor mance.

They will encounter Moana as she embarks on an ocean adventure with demigod Maui to save her island and cross the Mari gold Bridge into the Land of the Dead with Miguel from Pixar’s “Coco” for a brilliant cultural celebration of fam ily. Friends from “Frozen,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Cinderella” will also ap pear on the ice.

Moana and the demigod Maui embark on an ocean adventure.

Gems of educational elements are hidden in each tale, teaching the audi ence about being fearless, finding joy in discouraging situations, and the many learning experiences present in every day life.

“One of the things I really like about ‘Into the Magic’ is that it really takes each storyline and expands on it, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on anything,” Teson said.

Entertainment/Submitted)

She notes Rapunzel’s story as a high light of the show, which features the princess and Flynn Rider executing a

“shocking” aerial silk performance. She also hinted at a number incorpo rating a “big, fiery monster” out on the ice.

While kids are getting settled into school this time of year, the tour co ordinator said the show is a great op portunity for parents to bond with their young ones through experiencing the magic of “Disney on Ice” together.

“I just hope that they (guests) get to come and have a really good time, and then take that home with their family and those memories of what they saw,” she said. “The moments of awe where they’re just looking up and being amazed — that’s something they’ll be

able to talk about forever.”

Since many events were paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic over the past few years, “Into the Magic” may be the first live entertainment experience for a number of children.

“It’s going to be really incredible to be back there and see the show actually happen and have the audience get to see what we had brought to them three

years ago when we shut down, so I’m excited for Phoenix,” Teson said.

Launched in 1981, the “Disney on Ice” traveling team consists of a total of 90 to 100 people, including Teson and three other coordinators, nearly 50 per formers, a sales team and crew mem bers.

“It’s amazing when you look at what we produce every week and how there’s only five staff members behind the whole group putting all the pieces to gether,” Teson said. PT

Never Stop Learning

Continuing education can do more than improve your chances in landing the next job. It can make for a more rewarding life.

GOING BACK TO SCHOOL

Some fields actually require continuing education in order to remain employed. For others, however, these courses, classes and projects provide a pathway to better job opportunities. Hiring

managers take the full breadth of your resume into account, and additional educational pursuits show a dedication to your field above and beyond every-day work obligations. When applying for some jobs, you may find that their pay bands are actually dictated by levels of education or other instructional achievements. If you’re not near a college that offers related coursework, be on the look out for seminars, training and certification courses, professional affiliations and workshop-presentation opportunities that can add depth to your resume.

ONLINE OPPORTUNITIES

There are a number of online learning opportunities that may bolster your candidacy. They’re particularly useful if you’re

overburdened at your current job, since schedules are often flexible. For instance, the edX site sponsors free courses from top schools like Harvard and MIT. Other online educational platforms include Coursera and Skillshare. Each provides an opportunity to close the skills gap some candidates may face, or help them acquire the knowledge base to start a new career. If you feel like you are up-to-date with so-called “hard” skills, consider taking online courses in “soft” ones like leadership, communication, adaptability, conflict resolution, decision making, creativity, motivation, time management and teamwork. Techniques learned there will lead to better outcomes outside of the office, too.

AT-HOME EDUCATION

Going to faraway conferences is a great way to network for your next job, while learning about your field’s newest techniques. Like college courses, however, they can be very expensive. What if you can’t afford to attend, either because of office responsibilities or sudden unemployment? That shouldn’t stop you from working on professional development. Read as broadly as you can, going beyond general news into focused reports on the work you do. Whether that means subscribing to a professional newsletter or scrolling through the Harvard Business Review, you’ll be gaining valuable new information that could very well help you land the next job. Join related virtual communities, and network with people through professional sites like LinkedIn. These discussions are bound to spark fresh ideas.
