Sunrise Mountain’s Bruno Bailon makes school history

BY CALEB JONES Peoria Times Staff Writer

Bruno Bailon, a defensive line man on the Sunrise Mountain football team, is making histo ry at the school. The senior is the first in program history with autism.

Seeing her son get to play football at such a high level is an achievement that his mother, Dulce Rubiano, is happy to see.

“I’m so proud of my son and his ac complishments,” Rubiano said.

Growing up, Bailon was always in volved in sports. At 5 years old, he started playing in flag football games hosted by the Special Olympics. Though he did play many other sports, he admitted football was always his favorite.

“That sport really does entertain

me,” Bailon said. “Makes me happy.”

A fierce competitor, Bailon wasn’t satisfied with the level of competition he was facing during his flag football games. He would say to his mother that he “needed more.” Rubiano knew Bailon was right.

“We always saw something in him that he needed more, more challeng es,” she said.

Although it was clear her son was ready for the next step, she was ini tially hesitant to allow Bruno to play tackle football.

“He was like, ‘Mom, I’m ready to play football,’ and I was like, ‘No, this is a dangerous sport,’” she said.

After some careful consideration, and Bailon’s relentless desire to play at the next level, Rubiano decided that

Peoria mayoral candidates Bridget Binsbacher and Jason Beck debated at the Arizona Broadway Theatre on Oct. 5, answering key questions re garding their visions for Peoria’s future.

As the current executive director of the Cactus League and a former Peoria city councilmember, Binsbacher said her ex tensive political experience makes her a

worthy candidate for Peoria mayor.

Founder of tactical equipment compa ny Tyr Tactical, political newcomer and self-described outsider Beck has based his platform on what he calls the three pillars of Peoria. These include a focus on Peoria’s education, economic develop ment and public safety.

The debate, which ran for roughly an hour between 7 and 8 p.m., focused on a variety of issues including education, jobs, and the prospect of building an air-

port within the city.

Binsbacher and Beck both intend on pursuing similar areas of concern for the city, such as economic development and residential quality of life, yet the two candidates have different perspectives on how they will approach these common is sues. One of the key issues discussed was Peoria’s economic climate and the need to bring jobs to the city.

she would allow Bailon to play tackle football.

From there, Bailon would try out for the Sunrise Mountain football team heading into his senior year at the school. He trained with the team in the spring and throughout the off season.

Bailon was not given any handouts, and his hard work landed him a roster spot.

“He did everything like ev eryone else,” Rubiano said. “They didn’t put anything spe cial for him. He just did it exact ly like the other kids.”

Sunrise Mountain football head coach Steve Decker is con tinually impressed by Bailon’s effort and abilities.

“He’s going to be held to a lot of the same standards as ev eryone else,” Decker said. “You know, working hard and doing things, and he has done a really good job.”

Decker and the team are hap py to have Bailon on the roster this season. Not only did Bailon earn a roster spot, but he earned the team’s respect as well.

“Our players respect what he’s doing,” Decker said. “He’s

Bailon’s passion and love for the game of football has been an inspiration for both Decker and the rest of the team.

“I am really proud of him, that he has taken on every thing that we have given him and how hard he has worked,” Decker said. “He works hard and he never complains and does exactly what he is asked to do. He has just done a great job.”

“He is always in a great mood,” he added. “He is so excited to be at practice. He’s excited to be around the team mates. He’s excited for Friday night football games. He is very respectful and works hard.”

For Decker, simply put, Bailon has just been a natural fit for the team.

role in Peoria’s education system. Binsbacher encouraged a focus on greater outside resources.

Binsbacher said that it’s important to keep the standard high regarding the jobs brought into the city and that keeping said standard high is a key strategy for job climate success.

“We’re looking for high-wage jobs, head of household jobs, and so we need to create a welcoming environ ment for different industries,” Bins bacher said.

Beck doubled down and said that if the city wants further jobs and finan cial investment by employers, it needs to “get out of (its) way” and “work with (investors) to actually find solu tions,” which he does not find that the city currently does.

“We’re as successful as the relation ships that we form,” Binsbacher said. “We need to continue to work together to share resources, we need to contin ue to look at partnerships with high er education, potential co-locations, and we’re having those conversations now.”

Abrazo Surprise Hospital coming up on 2nd anniversary

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

Abrazo

Surprise Hospital, the city’s first full-service hospi tal, is coming up on its second anniversary on Friday, Oct. 12, as it continues to provide quality medical care close to home for Surprise-area residents.

The neighborhood hospital, located at the southwest corner of West Bell Road and Loop 303, opened its doors Oct. 12, 2020. Immediately after open ing its doors, its emergency department was busy, and the hospital admitted its first inpatient later that day.

“The fact that patients arrived so quickly reinforced the need for hospi tal services in this part of the Valley,” said Administrative Director Chrissy Salazar, RN.

Abrazo Surprise’s reputation and convenient location continue to attract patients over the last two years.

“We’ve heard wonderful things

about the hospital, it’s very close by and we know that we can get taken care of very quickly,” said Sun City Fi esta resident Rosemary Mistretta, who accompanied her husband on a recent visit to the ER at Abrazo Surprise Hos pital. “We’re very fortunate to have Abrazo here for us.”

Opening right in the middle of the pandemic, Abrazo Surprise also pro vided additional inpatient care when rooms in other hospitals were in short supply. The hospital offers a 13-bed fully equipped emergency department and eight inpatient rooms.

“Our team did a fantastic job open ing up this hospital during the middle of the pandemic. I’d like to acknowl edge the staff for the amazing impact they’ve made on this community,” said Stephen Garner, CEO of Abrazo Sur prise Hospital and Abrazo Arrowhead Campus. “We’ve treated emergency

Check your home’s energy efficiency

October is National Energy Aware ness Month. Unlike many other colder climates in the United States, Arizona is just getting out of the season of peak electricity use and is heading into cool er days. Fall is a great time to check your home’s energy efficiency. Utilize the following tips to maximize energy efficiency:

• Check with your energy provider about energy audits. APS or SRP can collaborate with you and poten tially identify savings with incen tives.

• Running ceiling fans in the opposite direction can keep rooms warmer. Heat rises, and spinning fans clock wise allows them to redistribute warm air, pushing it down.

• If your home has a drafty window, using weather stripping or even insulating drapes can help lower the amount of air getting through, which can lower your utility cost.

• Let your home stay a few degrees cooler while you are sleeping or not home. This can reduce energy use

by up to 10%.

• Turn down the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting (120°F).

he is accepted by all (of his) team mates,” Decker said. “Just seeing that, how much they accept him and how much a part of the family he is. Now, it seems like he is just one of the guys.”

Rubiano is beyond grateful for the way the Sunrise Mountain football team has welcomed her son into the fold.

“I’m very thankful of coach Deck er and how he has integrated him into the team, and all the coaches on the team and how they are teaching him

and helping him out, and especially all the teammates. They have been awesome,” Rubiano said.

While Bailon has achieved history, he is just happy to get to play football. He will live out his dream of playing football as he continues playing the game he loves for the rest of this sea son.

“It’s fun,” Bailon said. “I just like playing with my friends, learning new things and learning new plays and getting better.” PT

“I believe that there’s a path to nego tiate with a state Legislature to actual ly bring a high school to north Peoria but also make sure that we actually take care of our diminished schools in south Peoria,” Beck said.

“The goal is to bring people togeth er to actually make a difference and actually use the platform as mayor to try to make sure that our brightest stars and the future of our city is tak en care of, which is our children.”

Other key issues discussed were Peoria’s historic south side, public safety and city police staffing, and short-term property rentals. Both can didates promised to tackle all these issues.

The sole issue on which both candi dates disagreed wholly in their may oral approach, at least per the ques tions posed during the debate, was the building of an airport for the city. Beck said that an airport is a plausible addition to the city that could “pro vide investor confidence” and eco nomic growth. Binsbacher doesn’t see it as a worthwhile prospective project. Both candidates announced their commitment to delivering full atten

tion to the mayoral position should they be elected, and Binsbacher went as far to say that she is willing to quit her job at the Cactus League to give the position full-time attention.

After giving their closing state ments, Beck and Binsbacher were met with a standing ovation from the audi ence, which was fully packed.

Juan Mojica, a newer Peoria resi dent who was in attendance at the de bate, said he was excited to attend the event to learn more about the candi dates and their values. He, like many other residents in Peoria, will vote on Election Day.

“Now that the elections are here, I want to know what’s going on in my area,” Mojica said. “I’m not somebody that goes to the polls not knowing, not having read the statements on bal lot issues, on candidates, things like that.”

Spare me the food snobbery; chains are just fine

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist

“That’s just nuts,” and wander off.

Of

all the many sorts of snob bery that exist in the world today, surely the most annoy ing is dining snobbery.

You, too, have that one friend, I imagine — the Certified Restaurant Adventurer©.

Ask the CRA© how his/her/their weekend was and the conversation turns into a Travel Channel monologue about the joys of eating fried calf tes ticles off a food truck in a Maryvale back alley.

My eyes glaze over during such tales — and not in a honey-glazed epicure an way — before I say something like,

I’m an adventurous eater. I like steak, medium rare. I love cheesesteaks, cheeseburgers, cheese fries, pizza, and caffeinated beverages ordered without substituting Italian numbers for sizes. Hold the cheese on the coffee, thanks. But only there.

In sum, I have always believed my self to be a typical American eater. Meaning I am not a gastronomic ex plorer, nor am I a big chain restaurant purveyor.

However, I don’t look down my nose at people who think Olive Gar den is the best Italian food known to man. By the same token, I’m tired of hearing about Pizzeria Bianco and how it’s worth camping out for a week for a slice of Sonny Boy pizza, because, oh Lord, the soppressata is to die for!

Salami is salami, people. They do a nice pepperoni pie at Pizza Hut, too. And they have 6,600 locations in the United States, which means less wait ing.

That’s what chain restaurants are for: people who see meals not as opportu nities for reverie and humble bragging about their palate, but as fuel for the body and a chance to chat with loved ones, friends and colleagues.

Dining snobs will scoff, but there’s a reason that chain restaurants continue to be popular. They’re not the devil, or even Red Devil Pizza, with three loca tions in the Valley and one in Pinetop.

Chains are thriving, and regular people must like them, because chain restaurants comprise the majority of dining options in the United States, according to recent data from two

AROUND THE BLUHMIN’ TOWN

scholars at Georgia Tech University’s Friendly Cities Lab.

Dr. Clio Andris and Ph.D. candidate Xiaofan Liang compiled statistics on more than 700,000 restaurants nation wide, including nearly 400 chains of 50 locations or more. The most prolific restaurant in the study? Subway, with more than 24,000 locations in the Unit ed States.

Restaurants with only one location comprised about 44% of the study, or about 310,000 locations total.

Liang told the Washington Post, “the foodscape is very political,” mean ing the study’s big takeaway was that, “Places with a high percentage of Trump voters have a higher percentage of chains. We didn’t expect it.”

Flippy,

move over. There is a new tin can in town.

Elon Musk debuted Optimus, the “robot of the future.” Flippy is just a shiny steel robot who can flip burgers at fast-food restaurants that had to be put on paid leave one day after he started! It seems that Flippy’s human co-workers just couldn’t keep up with the robot.

The humans had to assemble the burgers in buns and add the lettuce, tomatoes and sauce. Well, Flippy was simply too fast for the humans and the

burgers were getting cold. Unable to slow down, Flippy had to be “repro grammed” to work at a snail’s (human) pace. Now we have Flippy 2.

You see, robots are not ready to take over the world. Yet.

Musk has a plan to “enrich our lives.”

It is called Optimus. A humanoid robot that will cost under $20,000 that can “assist” with just about everything.

Our wish is Optimus’ command! Make dinner, take out the garbage, wash the clothes, make the bed, detail the car, pull the weeds. Strong enough to move furniture and smart enough to do our taxes! Musk claims in a few years, we will all want one. I am ready now! And one day, Optimus will run all functions at manufacturing plants. There will be

no limits to what a robot can do!

In China, at every major airport, they have 5-foot-tall and 170-pound robots that serve as security and cus tomer service agents. Able to move at speeds up to 20 miles per hour, they can outrun people, block them, retrieve luggage and scan passports, and are a “crucial” part of airport security. They even speak! We need these in America. Imagine the possibilities! TSA agents replaced by robots? Perhaps.

Yes, the world is changing. Self-driv ing vehicles, more automation and robots entering the workforce might mean that the future has arrived! The era of artificial intelligence and using robots to solve complicated problems is upon us, and sometimes it has unin

tended consequences. When Facebook built two robots to work as comput er engineers, they were “shut down” quickly. Why? Because the human programmers noticed that the robots had developed their own language and were communicating with each other. When asked to translate, the robots refused. Yikes, robots going rogue! Should we worry?

While we are building new robots every day to “make every day better,” a few experts warn that we could be in for a little trouble. What happens when the robots we program outsmart us? Developing their own language or, even worse, their own agenda? Yes, the

Veep’s post-hurricane remarks create a storm

BY J.D. HAYWORTH Peoria Times Columnist

There’s no con fusing a haboob with a hurricane.

While Arizonans can attest that the howling wind and desert dust from a haboob may present genuine hazards, the recent travails of Floridians remind us that hurricanes can become life altering.

Hurricane Ian unleashed its fury upon Southwest Florida, bringing tragic loss of life, almost unbelievable damage to homes and roads, and other awful, awe some examples of nature’s power.

There was also ample evidence that the hurricane season intersects with the political calendar.

Vice President Kamala Harris, fresh

from a faux pas abroad where she mis takenly lauded a longtime American alliance with “the Republic of North Korea,” proved equally maladroit when she returned home and advocated racebased relief in Ian’s aftermath.

Appearing at a forum sponsored by the Democratic National Committee, the nation’s “No. 2” emphasized equity as job one, even in the wake of a killer storm.

“It is our lowest-income communities and communities of color that are most impacted by these extreme conditions and impacted by issues that are not of their own making,” Harris said.

“And so we have to address this in a way that is about giving resources based on equity, understanding that we fight for equality, but we also need to fight for equity, and understanding

that not everyone starts out at the same place. And if we want people to be in an equal place, sometimes we have to take into account those disparities.”

Got that?

“Equity” is not synonymous with “equality.” Instead, it is based on retri bution and redistribution.

While America’s historic civil rights movement advocated for equality of opportunity, today’s woke elites envi sion the role of government as enforc ing uniformity of outcomes. Equity is the blunt tool of social justice warriors intent on exacting a price in the here and now from those they deem “histor ically advantaged.”

In 2020, that translated into riots in major American cities, which Harris described as “mostly peaceful pro tests.” In 2022, it would translate into

selective relief in spite of widespread suffering if Harris had her way.

Unsurprisingly, a self-appointed “praetorian guard” from the partisan press quickly intervened to try to pro tect the vice president from her own statement.

So-called “fact checkers” blamed extenuating circumstances — a long, multilayered question and an even lon ger response from Harris — before fall ing back on the three favorite words of all post-quote revisionists: “out of con text.”

Despite the empathy and action from “advocacy journalists” eager to jump to Kamala’s defense, it became abun dantly clear to President Joe Biden’s White House that the subject had to be

OPEN BORDERS

Yawn. Sounds like food snobbery to me.

My big takeaway is that Arizona is not the fast-food capital of America, as many Valley food snobs would have you believe.

The most franchise-y state in the na tion? Kentucky, where 46% of restau rant options have 50 or more locations.

Arizona ranked 21st, with chains com prising 35% of restaurant offerings — as compared to Vermont, the least franchise-y state, where only 13% of restaurants had 50 or more locations.

As for metro Phoenix, it ranked 204th among more than 380 metro politan areas, with chains comprising about 37% of restaurant options. So we’re not New York City, with 18%

changed — and quickly.

Whatever the shortcomings of the Biden Bunch — and they are legion — Ol’ Joe and his handlers saw the ob vious course of action: Visit the hurri cane-ravaged portions of Florida, meet with Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, and pledge that the federal government would help everyone adversely affect ed by Ian — period.

As the flood waters began to recede, so did the controversy concerning “eq uity.” The sight of Biden and DeSan tis standing in the sunshine, sharing a common concern and a common goal, proved once again that sometimes good policy can make for good politics — especially when it involves potential political opponents. But don’t be deceived.

SMITH’S OPINION — Las Vegas Sun

Liberty stays undefeated, makes statement in win over Basha

BY ZACH ALVIRA Peoria Times Sports Editor

Liberty coach Colin Thomas thought the hour-and-a-half weather delay Friday night helped his team.

It gave them a chance to focus, calm any nerves they had, and game-plan for what was the marquee matchup in the state against a Basha team that is an Open Division title contender. But what was slated to be a defensive bat tle quickly turned into a one-sided af fair as Liberty jumped out to an early lead and never looked back in its 35-7 rout of the Bears.

“We came here to play football to night,” Thomas said. “Our kids are special. When we took the field a sec ond time, it was a different energy. We had been through it before, Pinnacle we had a delay, but we came to the field, it was raining and our kids came out with a different type of energy.

“I felt pretty good at that point in time.”

Liberty benefited from a Basha fum ble early in its first drive. Star defen sive tackle My’Keil Gardner stripped Basha running back Deshaun Buchan an.

It took junior quarterback Navi Bru zon and the Lions just three plays to find the end zone after the turnover, as he connected with senior wide receiv er Prince Zombo for a long screen pass that put the Lions at the Basha 1-yard line. Two plays later, Bruzon punched it in.

A three-and-out from Basha’s ex plosive offense led to another Liberty touchdown. Bruzon once again led the Lions down a short field and connect ed with tight end Braylon Gardner for a 10-yard score.

Raquel Rodriguez offers the smackdown on house shows

BY CALEB JONES Peoria Times Staff Writer

For WWE Superstar Raquel Ro driguez, nontelevised events are special.

Unlike “Friday Night SmackDown,” “Saturday Night’s Main Event,” which comes to the Footprint Center on Oct. 15, is dubbed a “house show.” They al low her to interact with fans more.

“These shows are so different when compared to ‘Friday Night Smack Down’ or ‘Monday Night Raw,’” she said.

“They are a lot more interactive. We get an opportunity to be with the crowd and involve the crowd.

Born Victoria González, she is the daughter of professional wrestler Rick González. She’s an emerging star who,

last year, won the first Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic with best friend Dakota Kai and became the inaugural NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions. González won the NXT Women’s Championship.

Initially, she wrestled under her birth name, but she debuted Raquel Ro driguez during a backstage bit on the April 8 “SmackDown.”

Later that month, she jumped in the ring to defeat Cat Cardoza. On the May 13 episode of “SmackDown,” Rodri guez accepted Ronda Rousey’s chal lenge for the SmackDown Women’s Championship but did not win the title.

She continued to compete, and on the Aug. 29 “Raw,” Aliyah and Rodri guez defeated Kai and Iyo Sky to win the open WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship. She is the first woman to have held the NXT Women’s, NXT and WWE Women’s Tag Team Cham pionships.

Last month, they lost the titles to Kai and Sky after a 14-day reign.

The Phoenix show comes at a time when the WWE has been evolving. Following Vince McMahon’s retire ment, Paul Levesque (Triple H) has been in creative control.

The Lions were firing on all cylin ders early on offense, and the defense was matching their energy.

“My’Keil made the big strip right away, and we scored,” Thomas said. “I wasn’t shocked they were ready to play. I know our guys. The harder things get, the more we’re going to re spond. That’s what they did.”

Basha finally found a rhythm on of fense late in the first quarter as junior quarterback Demond Williams and se nior running back Deshaun Buchanan led the Bears down the field with their legs. They eventually set themselves up inside the 5-yard line.

But penalties, broken plays and missed blocking assignments resulted in a failed fourth-down try.

Liberty responded with a 97-yard drive that took nearly 6 minutes off the game clock. Senior running back Zach Wallace capped it off with a 1-yard touchdown run.

“We come out, fumble the ball, give them a short field, and you can’t do that against a good team,” Basha

coach Chris McDonald said. “We had drives we just couldn’t sustain. Pen alty, dropped ball, you can’t do that against a good team.

“We moved the ball, we would just

sputter.”

Liberty was in full control midway through the second quarter. The Lions pressured Williams, clogged running lanes and the secondary ran hip to hip

with the Bears’ speedy wideouts.

It was a dominant and near-perfect first-half performance from a team that has overpowered every opponent in its path this season, including last year’s Open Division state champion Saguaro and Colorado power Valor Christian.

Bruzon connected with Gardner once more in the second half and on a 32-yard pass to Grant Brunelle for touchdowns. He finished 17 of 19 for 246 yards and four total touchdowns. He also has 37 yards on the ground.

Four Liberty wideouts — Zombo, Brunelle, Gardner and Jaqua Ander son — had 40 or more receiving yards. Anderson also added 26 yards on the ground, complimenting Wallace’s 79.

“I was just taking what they would give me,” Bruzon said. “If they’re giv ing me screens, coach Thomas will call it. We had a good game plan, and it obviously paid off.”

The win for Liberty cements the Li

my experience has been like because it’s just so crazy I have had so many, and then getting called up to ‘Smack Down’ and being up there for five or six months now working with both Vince and now working with Triple H it has been an absolute whirlwind and a dream come true.”

The WWE frequently visits the Val ley, hosting events at the Footprint Center and the venue formerly known

as Gila River Arena, now Desert Dia mond Arena.

“I look forward to going to Arizona all the time,” Rodriguez said. “I love the community there. I love the weath er. I love the people and the audience. It is always such a good energy. I look forward to these shows so much.”

At the Footprint Center, Rodriguez said fans can expect an action-packed show.

“Bring the whole family,” she added. “We really do cater to every age group. You don’t know who you are really going to see. I know that we will also have the Crown Jewel coming up after that so you might even get an opportu nity to see Roman Reigns and Logan Paul do a little something.”

Il

Volo takes flight with Morricone tour

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor

S

itting around a phone on Face Time in Atlantic City, Il Volo’s three singers — baritone Gianlu ca Ginoble and tenors Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschetto — are enthusi astic about returning to the Valley.

“That’s the brown city, right?” Bar one asked, flashing his trademark smile. “It’s hot there.”

This tour — which comes to the Or pheum in Phoenix on Thursday, Oct. 13 — supports the 2021 release “Il Volo Sings Morricone.”

Ennio Morricone, who died in July 2020, was an Italian composer, or chestrator, conductor and trumpeter who wrote more than 400 scores for cinema and television, and over 100 classical works.

Gianluca Ginoble, Piero Barone and Ignazio Boschet to honor Ennio Morricone on their latest tour, which comes to Orpheum Theatre on Thursday, Oct. 13. (I1 Volo/Submitted)

His filmography in cludes “Exorcist II,” “The Untouchables,” “Bugsy,” “In the Line of Fire” and “The Hate ful Eight.” His score to the 1966 movie “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” is recognized as one of the most influ ential soundtracks.

“As you probably know, our latest album is a tribute to Mor ricone, right?” the be spectacled Barone said.

“It’s beautiful to sing these melodies he wrote. He’s one of the most (famous) Italian composers of all time. It’s beautiful to share

these songs with audiences. They’re all recognizable melodies. These mel odies belong to each one of us. We have to say thanks to what he wrote, and this tour is wonderful.”

Ginoble said the concerts are a trib ute to Morricone but Il Volo’s fans as well. That said, Il Volo is always thinking about the next show.

“We try to be unique in our style,” Ginoble said. “There are many influ ences who have inspired us. We are the only guys of our age singing this kind of music.

“We (Il Volo) have different tastes, but we love the same songs. For the show, it’s important to say it’s a good show for our fans and for the people who are not lovers of (this music). It’s a show that gets to the heart of the

Pistoleros documentary looks at Tempe band from the ’90s

BY VINCENT ARRIETA Peoria Times Contributing Writer

Unlessyou were there at the time, one might not realize how exciting it was to be a mu sic lover in Tempe in the ’90s.

From the breakthrough of the Meat Puppets with their career-altering ap pearance on Nirvana’s “Unplugged” special to Gin Blossoms’ jangle-pop brilliance, the national spotlight was shining brightly — on the Valley’s mu sical riches.

Unfortunately, one of the acts primed for breakout success has gone largely unnoticed by those outside of Arizo na’s burning sands — the Pistoleros.

Now, the band fronted by brothers Lawrence and Mark Zubia is final ly getting its due with a documenta

The Pistoleros were primed for breakout success in the ‘90s and a key compo nent of the Valley’s music scene then. Lawrence Zubia fronted the band. (Pistole ros/Submitted)

ry chronicling its extraordinary story called “Pistoleros: Death, Drugs and Rock n’ Roll” directed by Steven B. Esparza. Filled with interviews from members of the band along with mem bers of the Meat Puppets, Gin Blos

soms and other Tempe musical main stays, the documentary smartly focuses not specifically on the “rise” of a band — we’ve seen that movie before — and instead chronicles the tumultuous rela tionship between brothers Lawrence

and Mark, and how that relationship both made — and nearly broke — the band.

The documentary is scheduled to have its premiere with a sold-out screening at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 18, at the AMC Centerpoint theater in Tem pe, with more screenings to follow. The film will then be available to rent on Vimeo the same day and is sched uled to arrive on DVD and streaming platforms in early November.

Whereas many rockumentaries these days either glorify the story of bands whose trajectories are similar or sim ply repackage information widely known about a certain artist, Esparza and producers Henry Eshelman and Jeff Freundlich focus on the emotional

“madness” that comes when two ar tistic minds bound by blood are tested by drug addiction, codependency and mental illness.

Make no mistake, though. The Pis toleros story is a triumphant one, al beit with a twist of sadness. While it is difficult to discuss and write about the documentary without spoiling its fragile narrative, one can say that the manner in which the brothers’ respec tive battles with themselves and one another is quite an enlightening one — especially Lawrence’s.

“The music is almost a gateway to falling in love with the story of these two brothers,” Freundlich said. “If you listen to the lyrics in the songs, you re alize whether it’s consciously or sub consciously, these guys are often sing ing about their firsthand experiences, quite frankly, with each other. Obvi ously, we don’t want spoilers, but, you know, love wins, right?”

In addition to highlighting the Zubia brothers’ literal brotherhood, the doc umentary almost inadvertently spot

lights the brotherhood between many of the other bands in the Tempe music scene. One particularly heartfelt and bittersweet stretch of the documentary depicts the Zubias and others talking about the late Gin Blossoms guitar

ist Doug Hopkins, whose death had a profound impact on not only his own band’s career trajectory but on the Zubia brothers’ own struggles with mental health.

“Think about the Haight-Ashbury scene in the ’60s,” Freundlich said. “You had Janis Joplin living with the Grateful Dead, and Quicksilver Mes senger Service living in the same house, right? The Live Nudes’ (precur sors to the Pistoleros) house was where all of these bands would party when they were done with their gigs. That’s the magic that happens when all these creative people are coming together. They’re not competing with each oth er, but they’re trying to lift each other up, and look what happened.”

That sense of camaraderie runs throughout the documentary, from the Zubia brothers themselves to their con nection with their Mexican American roots via playing in mariachi groups with their father as children.

“The brothers are Mexican Amer ican, our director is Mexican Ameri

can, and our picture editor is Mexican American,” Freundlich said. “The sto ry that Mark and Lawrence tell about playing in a mariachi band with their father and then realizing that those chords worked for Van Morrison and the Doors, the Rolling Stones — our editor said, ‘That is the experience of so many Mexican American kids and teenagers that are embracing the cul ture of their family historically and then also assimilating fully into Ameri can culture.’ For every Mexican Amer ican kid or musician, that is going to resonate with them greatly.” PT

Artist Ray Villafane explores new characters

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor

Ray

Villafane was preparing for a possible space trip when he had an epiphany.

Known for carving whimsical pump kins, Villafane realized he had to tell stories in a cohesive manner. That led to his new home, Vulture City Ghost Town in Wickenburg, which he feels was meant to be — a dream he man ifested.

He’ll show off his latest creations at Gourdy Ghouligan’s first Halloween Spooktacular 2022 on Friday, October 21; Saturday, October 22; and Sun day, October 23, at Vulture City Ghost Town, 36610 355th Avenue, Wicken burg.

Gourdy Ghouligan’s Halloween Spooktacular features live pumpkin carving, dozens of pumpkin displays, family carve-along class, giant pump kin, blacksmith demonstrations, bone yard mining company opening, trick or treat ghost town style, puppeteers, face painting, food and a beer garden

Villafane has sculpted for Marvel, DC Comics, Blizzard and Warner Bros. He holds two Guinness World Records and has been recognized by “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.”

To the moon

In March 2021, he applied for the dearMoon project, a lunar tourism mission and art project conceived and financed by Japanese billionaire Yu saku Maezawa. It will make use of a SpaceX Starship spacecraft on a pri vate spaceflight flying a single circum lunar trajectory around the Moon.

“He held a worldwide contest,” he said. “Of those 20 people, he was bringing eight creatives to circle the moon, get inspired and create some thing and share it with the world.”

Villafane spent a year “getting into the headspace” that he was going to leave his wife and children and head out on this “dangerous mission.” He

meditated by running through the des ert at the hottest point of the day.

During this time, he came up with the story of “Mining Magic.”

“The premise is for thousands of years, people have made wishes to a full moon,” he said. “While many come true, a good part of those people, when they birthed those wishes, didn’t believe their own wish would come true.”

Those wishes were stuck on the moon.

“When my characters the scarecrow people and the mice got to the moon, they discovered an abandoned mine from the original Apollo. They aban doned it because there were ghosts and spirits protecting those wishes. The ghosts and spirits were the people’s own fears and doubt. The demons were too difficult to break through. In my story, they break through that.”

When Villafane didn’t make it to the space travel program — after running 120 miles in July — he wasn’t con cerned.

“I didn’t care if I went to the moon,” he added. “I had already won with the story that I came up with. In creating the characters, I discovered a lifetime of things to play with.

“‘Mining Magic’ brought purpose to my life. It is a story everyone could benefit from. We prevent ourselves from achieving everything we want. It’s our own ghosts and demons who block ourselves. There’s an underlying story that I thought was really import ant to share. I love the way I concocted a whimsical way to tell it.”

As such, Villafane manifested a

dream for himself. Just a few weeks later, “the universe delivered to me Vulture City Mine, Arizona’s most historic gold mine” outside of Wicken burg. Previously, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Villafane displayed his cre ations in storefronts in Wickenburg.

“I went out to Vulture City Mine, and I fell in love,” he said. “It was my moon. It completed my story that I wanted to do. Not only was it such an amazing fit for everything I wanted to do, the own er is letting me have creative freedom. He gave me a workshop to work out of. The workshop was built in 1890, and my name (Ray) was carved into the wall when I walked into it.

“The whole place feels like home.”

He opened the Boneyard Mining Company, where he mines magic ore from the unwanted, discarded, over looked or ignored ingredients within and around us.

Barone, Boschetto and Ginoble met in 2009 when they were competing in the Italian televised singing compe tition “Ti lascio una canzone” at the Teatro Ariston in Sanremo.

The show’s creator, Roberto Cenci, put the three together, emulating the Three Tenors of Plácido Domingo, José Carreras and Luciano Pavarotti. During the fourth episode, they won as a group singing the Neapolitan song “O Sole Mio.”

The trio was “discovered” in Amer ica by producer and Italian sing er-songwriter Tony Renis. Eventual ly, Il Volo signed a deal with Geffen Records, making them the first Italian artists to directly sign with an Ameri

can recording label.

Then known as The Tryo, the teens participated in the charity single “We Are the World 25 for Haiti” in 2010. Later that year, they changed their name to Il Volo, which means “the flight.”

Since 2010, Il Volo has released eight albums and the men are working on a “surprise” project for Christmas.

“The audience is like oxygen for us,” Boschetto said. “It’s the truth. We feel ourselves onstage. We look into the audience’s eyes and see the reac tion. It’s beautiful being onstage, and the beauty of sharing our art is the rea son why we keep doing this.” PT

1. You can’t see your ears without a mirror. 2. You can’t count your strands of hair. 3. You can’t breathe through your nose with your tongue out. 4. You just tried No. 3. 6. When you tried No. 3, you realized that it is possible, only

now you look like a dog. 7. You are smiling right now because the question fooled you. 8. You skipped No. 5. 9. You just checked to see if there was a No. 5. 10. Share this with your friends so they can have some fun, too. I just applied No. 10 because I shared 10 fun facts with you.

Here’s an important fact: Those who like my articles are happier, more in telligent and better looking than those who don’t, according to a study I made up. Aha!

It’s good to read what others are say ing and thinking in today’s world about various subjects, whether they’re wise, cheeky or reveal something that equips us for life. So I’ll mix a bit of me into

this compilation of insights.

Cheeky snippets about life

Here’s someone like me. “I don’t have a train of thought. I have seven trains, on four tracks, that narrowly avoid each other when their paths cross and all the conductors are screaming.” Does this sound familiar? “My kid before dinner: ‘I’m starving. I need a snack.’ My kid during dinner: ‘I’m full. I can’t eat.’ My kid after dinner: ‘I’m starving. I need a snack.’ Repeat forever.” Women, con sider this vow. “Wedding vows should include, ‘Do you promise to always help him find his stuff that is right in front of him?’ Because you will be do ing that forever.”

I like this thought. “I don’t always go the extra mile, but when I do, it’s be cause I missed my exit.” “Our family is just one tent away from a full-blown circus.” Oh, yeah! A final thought as we enter the “-ber” months. When some one says, “It’s too soon for pumpkin spice,” please realize you don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.

Personal growth

“Everyone wants to reach the top of the mountain but remember: The real growth and change happens on the climb.” In other words, difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.

Bob Costas offers this insight. “Cham pions don’t become champions on the field — they are merely recognized there.” What you put into something often determines what you get out of it. D. L. Moody said, “Moses spent 40 years thinking he was somebody, 40 years learning he was nobody, and then 40 years discovering what God can do with a nobody.” Sometimes we need to be depowered to be empowered.

a complicated past. Jesus preserves your future.” In other words, if you think you’ve blown God’s plan for your life, God has news for you. You’re not that powerful. Consider this possibility: “What happens to a person is often less significant than what happens within them. The hardest prison to escape is in our own mind.”

Here’s an actual event (I factchecked it) that changed two lives. “In 1981, a pediatrician saved the life of a 3.2-pound premature baby boy by working around the clock and beating the odds to stabilize him. In 2011, the same pediatrician was pinned inside a burning vehicle after a car collision but then saved by a paramedic who turned out to be the premature baby he saved 30 years earlier.” Most times, the light at the end of the tunnel is not a train.

Everyone can pray this prayer. “Heav enly Father, thank you for pursuing me relentlessly. Thank you for your grace that allows us to come back to you time and again. Forgive us for the ways we run and hide from you. Give us the courage to turn toward you and accept your love.” Consider this insight about prayer. “Sometimes we need to pray for the answer, but sometimes we need to pray to be the answer.” A. W. Tozer said, “I don’t want the world to define God for me. I want the Holy Spirit to reveal God to me.”

But since the power of prayer is in the One who hears prayers and not in the One who says the prayer, our prayers do make a difference.” Just think, if God can make a bug’s butt light up, think of what God can do for you.

Church of the Palms hosts 19th Annual Interfaith Conference

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

The

Church of the Palms, located at 14808 N. Boswell Boulevard, Sun City, is hosting its 19th An nual Interfaith Conference on Friday, Nov. 4, and Saturday, Nov. 5, at the church.

Open to the public, this year’s con ference theme is coordinated with November’s National American Indi an Heritage Month. Kaitlin Curtice, nationally known speaker, author and poet, will be the presenter on “Lessons in Decolonization.”

A member of the Potawatomi Nation and a Christian, she explores how her Indigenous roots inform, challenge and intersect with her Christian faith. She has contributed to “On Being,” “Reli gion News Service,” “USA Today” and “Sojourners,” among others.

In addition, she was interviewed for the New Yorker on colonization with in Christian missions. In 2018, she was featured in a CBS documentary, “Race, Religion, and Resistance,” speaking on the dangers of colonized Christianity, and was also named one of Sojourn ers Magazine’s 10 Christian Women to Watch in 2018.

She is also the author of “NATIVE: Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God,” “Glory Happening,” “Finding the Divine in Everyday Places,” and a new book on everyday resistance set to come out in 2023.

“NATIVE” tells of her transforma tional journey that is not complete. Her discovery of Indigenous spirituality and the connection to Mother Earth and Father Sky and all of creation is a story of deconstruction of faith, integration of her religious upbringing, and step ping forward into the now and future as a Potawatomi woman with an evolving deep spiritual grounding.

Born in an Indian hospital, raised in Oklahoma, and at one time devoted to her Southern Baptist church, Curtice is the child of a European ancestry and a father of the Potawatomi Nation.

For most of her early years, she felt embraced and loved by her church if she showed only her white part and left her Native part hidden. But as of ten happens, as Curtice matured, she realized there were more parts to her than the white Christian part. In time, she discovered there was a wife part, mother part, writer part and especially Native part.

As she began exploring what it meant to be Native, she learned more of the Potawatomi language and culture, but she also becomes even more compli cated. She learned of intergenerational trauma, the pain suffered by Indigenous people when the colonizers took Native land and attempted systematically to wipe out Indigenous culture and lan guage.

“I began the journey backward, which, for me, was the miraculous journey forward,” Curtice said.

Those who are interested in attending must register at thepalms.org. Attend ees may register for an in-person ses sion for $50 or a virtual session for $35. Indigenous scholarships are available at the church’s website.

‘Panther Pride’ carries Peoria High School band’s success

BY CAMERON CHESTER Peoria Times Staff Writer

Peoria

High School’s band pro gram recently received the Wil liam E. Richardson Program of Distinction Award from the Arizona Band and Orchestra Directors Associ ation.

The award recognizes high school band and orchestra programs in Ari zona that have a high level of achieve ment in all areas during the previous school year.

Under the direction of band director Jeffrey Malone for the last five years, the Peoria High School band program contains roughly 125 students who participate in the Jazz, Marching and Concert bands.

“In the achievement of this award, I give all the credit to my students,” Malone said. “I have the honor of working with the best students in the state of Arizona. They trust in the vi sion that I have for our band program and work diligently, day in and day out, to realize that vision. Nothing I do would be possible without their trust, commitment and dedication to excel lence.”

Practice makes perfect for Peoria High’s band. Malone said he and his band program work on their craft dil igently.

“When we are preparing music, I like to rehearse in a macro-micro-mac ro format,” he said. “As we start work ing on new music, we will look at the big picture first — playing the right notes, playing the correct rhythms, understanding the overall shape of the piece, playing with a characteristic sound, etc.

“After the students get comfortable with those macro ideas, we will begin to dissect the piece as we start to fo cus on articulations, dynamics, releas

es, tuning, and smaller sections of the music. Then, as the performance gets closer, we will zoom back out and ap ply those micro ideas to the full piece of music.”

This is the first time any band pro gram in the Peoria Unified School Dis trict has earned the William E. Rich ardson Program of Distinction Award.

Additionally, Peoria High’s band was one of only eight music programs in the state of Arizona to earn the award.

Every hard-working group needs

great leadership and morals, to help provide a path towards success, and Malone iterates to his band the “three T’s.”

“Every year, we begin the year by focusing on playing with the ‘3 T’s,’” Malone said. “That is, playing in tune, in tone, and in time.

“This focus on sound fundamental playing really helps set us up for suc cess for the rest of the year. As the year goes on, I work to encourage students to make musical decisions while bring

ing their own interpretation and expe riences to a piece of music.”

The passion and love for the music inside Malone spreads to his students. Each of them is inspired by his teach ings.

“Mr. Malone has inspired me to be the best musician I can be through the constant support both academically and personally,” band member Tatum Champion said. “He is there for you

when you need help and can relate to each of his students personally, making band an enjoyable place to be.”

“He inspired me to work hard not just myself, but for the whole program,” band member Grace Rhoten added. “Putting in good work will give good outcomes. The mu sicians who make up the Panther Pride Marching Band are committed performers who travel across the whole state of Arizona.”

For Malone, “a commitment to doing what is best for your students is at the center of building a successful band pro gram.”

“This program belongs to the students and I feel it is my duty to ensure that everything I do is in service of their growth and improvement,” he added. “Furthermore, I be lieve that you also need to hold students to a high standard of excellence in everything that they do. These students put in countless hours of work throughout the year and they deserve to see the fruits of their labor reflected in impactful and memorable musical experiences.

“I work to help each student achieve their full musical potential by not compromising the standard of excellence that I know they are able to achieve.”

Employers no longer rely only on resumes, cover letters and background checks. Today, most hiring managers take to the internet and google their potential hires.

The site “We Work Remotely” reports that 80% of hiring managers consider it important for a candidate to have a personal website and 47% of companies say they won’t hire someone if they can’t find them online.

Your personal brand, according to Dr. Sean Gresh, a faculty member at Northeastern University, is your story. It is who you are, what you stand for, the values you embrace and the way you express those values, he said. It helps you to “communicate a unique identity and clear value to potential employers.”

So what are the dos and don’ts of creating your online brand?

KEEP IT CLEAN

According to a Career Builder survey in 2018, 57% of hiring managers who search for information about candidates online have found content that caused them not to hire

SEEKERS

Building a Personal Brand

a person. CareerBuilder listed both what led employers not to hire a candidate and what made them more likely to hire a candidate. What do you want to avoid? These things made hiring managers turn a person away, according to the survey:

• Candidate posted inappropriate or provocative photographs, videos or information.

• Candidate posted information about them drinking or using drugs.

• Candidate made discriminatory comments related to race, gender, religion, etc.

• Candidate was linked to criminal behavior.

• Candidate lied about qualifications.

• Candidate had poor communication skills.

• Candidate bad-mouthed their previous company or fellow employee.

• Candidate’s screen name was unprofessional.

• Candidate shared confidential information from previous employers.

• Candidate lied about an absence.

• Candidate posted too frequently.

That said, there were several factors that caused hiring managers to look more favorably on a candidate. Many are under your control.

WHAT DO THEY INCLUDE?

According to CareerBuilder’s survey:

• Background information supported a candidate’s professional qualifications.

• Candidate was creative.

• Candidate’s site conveyed a professional image.

• Candidate was well-rounded with a wide range of interests.

• Employer was able to get a good feel for the candidate’s personality.

• Candidate displayed great communication skills.

• Candidate received awards and accolades.

• Others posted great references about candidates.

• Candidate interacted with the company’s social media accounts.

• Candidate posted compelling video or other content.

• Candidate had a large number of followers or subscribers.

CREATING YOUR BRAND

Take control of creating a strong personal brand for yourself, which means knowing what it is and making a plan.

Capitol One suggests the following steps to create your personal brand:

1. Define who you are.

2. Understand your audience.

3. Decide what you want to be known for.

4. Prepare your elevator pitch.

Let those guide how you act online, what you put out there and how you promote yourself. Decide the best places to pitch yourself. Columbia University’s Career Center recommends focusing on a few professional social networks and not saturating the market.

Once you have established your brand, maintain it. Even after you get the job, managers may be monitoring you and making decisions about your future promotions.
