NEWS..............8 What the $125 million PUSD bond would do

The city of Peoria’s general plan appears on Nov. 3 ballots, giving residents the chance to weigh in on how the city looks for the next 20 years.

The plan shows many changes from the general plan voters passed in 2010.

“This plan is pretty much a complete reformulation of the general plan as we had it,” Peoria Planning Director Chris Jacques said. “We’re recognizing some of the socio-demographic changes that are occurring, so the plan has more reliance on mixed use … and more reliance on distinctive places and places where people SEE PLAN PAGE 4

Trump visit kicks off election week

BY TOM SCANLON

Peoria Times Managing Editor

President Donald Trump unofficially kicked off election week with a West Valley rally planned for 2 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28.

Trump announced the campaign stop at the Phoenix Goodyear Airport just three days before the rally, as the energetic Republican leader—trailing in the polls to Democrat challenger Joe Biden—continues his bounce back from COVID-19 with a charged campaign schedule.

Trump has emphasized two themes that

have emerged: early ballots and voting security. During the first presidential debate, Trump said about mail-in ballots: “This is going to be fraud like you’ve never seen.”

On Monday, Oct. 26, he tweeted: “Big problems and discrepancies with Mail In Ballots all over the USA.” According to U.S. Elections Project, a widely watched website by a University of Florida professor, by Oct. 27 more than 66 million voted early—many by mail.

While there have been long lines elsewhere around the country, the scene outside the voting center at Peoria Power Center at 10250 N. 91st Avenue was se-

rene Friday, Oct. 23. The parking lot featured only a few “vote here” signs, and voters were undisturbed as they walked inside to cast their votes.

Maricopa County went over the 1 million ballots counted mark Friday, Oct. 23, according to Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes.

While Trump and others raised concerns about the election, Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat expressed confidence.

“The safety of our community is the city of Peoria’s No. 1 priority,” Carlat said.

“We are proud to have an exceptionally trained police department, which includes a Threat Mitigation Unit who works closely with local, regional and federal law enforcement to monitor and address threats to our community.”

Carlat added that the police department “has been evaluating all precautionary measures in preparation of Election Day. And, like any significant event, (the police department) will ensure all necessary resources are available to keep Peoria residents safe as they undertake their most important civic duty.”

As the county Elections Department notes on a website page devoted to voting security, only verified ballots are counted: “Once the signature is verified on the affidavit envelope, it is opened by a bipartisan board and sent to be counted. All uncounted ballots are tracked and reported in the official canvass for each election.”

In-person voting centers, drop boxes and even drive-thru drop boxes will be available through Tuesday, Nov. 3, with locations around the Peoria area.

(For a complete list, see Page 7.)

Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers was feeling good about the process.

“Arizona has a long and successful history of providing safe and secure locations for voters, thanks to the leadership of our governor and state Legislature,” Weiers said.

“I have full confidence in the system and know that a large number of voters have already voted,” he added.

That sounded good to one Old Town business owner.

“Our dream is that Driftwood would be a place of community for friendships to begin and these improvements will help us get there,” said Lance Linderman, co-owner of Driftwood Coffee near Jefferson Street and 83rd Avenue.

The revitalization plan for Old Town includes large, fluorescent local gateway signage; a water tower; and an array of dancing lights and seating. Also stressed in the plan are designs for less obstructed views and a theme of water structures and canals throughout the center.

“We’re trying to move into a period where we have more distinctive development areas. … We’re looking for environments where somebody can go out and be a part of a well-balanced community,” Jacques said.

The full concept and plans can be found at peoriaed.com (under programs and incentives) or peoriaaz.

Peoria also requires an annual report for review of the plan, which can be amended each year.

“Every time you have a long-term plan like this, it’s always going to be tricky, it always sounds good, but you never know what they could change along the line. It is good to have an overarching plan … but you just never know,” said Christian Turner, Peoria resident and small-business worker.

To be effective, Jacques noted, the plan must remain flexible.

“We understand that the general plan is a framework, but it’s going to be adjusted and refined year by year so what you do see is some minor amendments that occur annually, just to keep the general plan updated and relevant,” Jacques said.

General plan amendments are to be initiated by city council, the city manager or Peoria’s planning and zoning commission.

“At the council meeting, (residents) can come and make a comment. We would evaluate that comment and determine if that should be a change to the general plan,” Jacques said.

“This general plan is trying to understand the trends that are occurring and adapt to those trends,” Jacques

Lesko defends past bankruptcy, misdemeanor conviction

BY TOM SCANLON

Peoria Times Managing Editor

Rep. Debbie Lesko is defending her seat in the 8th Congressional District against Democrat challenger Michael Muscato. Both live in Peoria.

Though highly favored for reelection after taking 55% of the votes to win the 2018 election, the Peoria Republican was placed on the defensive by an Arizona Republic story about her past, which includes bankruptcy filings and a misdemeanor conviction.

The Peoria Times asked Lesko if there were inaccuracies in the story and for any comments she had.

“Over 35 years ago, I married a man who became physically and mentally abusive to me and my young daughter,” Lesko responded via email. “On many occasions, he threatened to kill us. He is still in prison. As he was a con-man who used multiple aliases, I had to list all the alias names he had used for me to protect myself in bank-

I have been blessed with a wonderful husband, two more children and four grandchildren.”

The Peoria Times also asked Muscato for his take on the story, published less than two weeks before Election Day. “My heart breaks for my opponent, Congresswoman Lesko, and all victims of domestic violence,” said Muscato, a Peoria resident who owns a Glendale gym.

But Muscato said he was troubled by the story.

“Why did it take 12 years for us to learn about this? What governRep.

Voting security addressed as Election Day nears

BY AUSTIN ASHBURN

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

As Election Day nears, some voters in Peoria and Glendale remain concerned about their mail-in ballots being counted due to worries of election fraud.

County and local officials say steps have been taken for a secure election.

“Maricopa County has been providing every voter with the option to request a ballot in the mail since 1996. We have layers of oversight to ensure only valid ballots are counted,” said Rey Valenzuela, director of early voting and election services with the Maricopa County Elections Department. “We plan to make sure that no matter what option voters choose, it’s safe, accessible and secure.”

According to the Brennan Center for Justice, Arizona has already taken voting precautions that aid in avoiding unfair difficulties caused by the impacts of COVID-19. These pre-

cautions include providing an online tool for voters to request an absentee ballot, allowing all voters to vote by mail and providing pre-paid postage for absentee ballots.

The Brennan Center for Justice also believes Arizona has some changes it still needs to make, including the acceptance of late-arriving ballots postmarked by Election Day and the opportunity to fix incorrectly marked absentee-ballot envelopes post-election.

While these changes support social distancing by allowing voters to mark their ballots from their own homes, they are also causing an increase in the amount of people voting by mail.

This increase has contributed to a raise in the concern for a lack of mailin voting security.

“Arizona in particular has a long and proud history of voting by mail,” said Gina Roberts, voting education director for the Citizens Clean Elections Commission. “80% of voters

“Arizona has well over 140 secure drop boxes throughout the state that voters can utilize to return it, or any voting location, whether that’s early or on Election Day.” – Gina Roberts,

Voting Education Director for the Citizens Clean Elections Commission

have already chosen this method, so the majority of our voters have been voting by mail, and I think that right there is proof that the system works and that the system is secure.”

Roberts also says there is transparency for voters using the mail-in ballot process because Arizona allows for voters to track the status of their ballot online, allowing one to receive confirmation that their ballot was received.

Election security and mail-in voting also relate to the issue of voter suppression, a problem Arizona has dealt with in the past. The Lincoln Project, a political action committee, has

partnered with the Democracy Labs in support of putting an end to voter suppression.

See Say 2020 provides Arizona voters with a survey to fill out, allowing them to vocalize any issues they might have had with the voting process. This includes issues with voter registration, polling places, ballots and voter intimidation.

Glendale has a drop-off location at City Hall and polling places across the city to ensure there are accessible locations for everyone to turn in their ballots on time.

“What’s unique here in Arizona is the number of options that voters have,” Roberts said. “Arizona has well over 140 secure drop boxes throughout the state that voters can utilize to return it, or any voting location, whether that’s early or on Election Day.” In the city of Peoria, there are secure drop boxes available in the Peoria city clerk’s office and the Peoria Sports Complex.

Where to vote or drop off ballots around the city

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The Maricopa County Elections Department recently delivered “contactless drive-thru drop boxes” to the parking lots of the Peoria Sports Complex and other sports venues.

According to the county, “Voters will be able to return completed ballots in their signed and sealed green affidavit envelope from the comfort of their car. Trained staff will work at all drive through drop boxes and will deliver the sealed envelopes to the Elections Department nightly, tracking the chain of custody and keeping ballots secure.”

The drive-thru boxes will be open Saturday, Oct. 31, through Election Day. Meanwhile, voting continues this week with vote centers and drop boxes around the West Valley.

Peoria and Glendale voters are being asked to approve more than a quarter billion dollars in school funding.

The Peoria Unified School District, which has schools in Glendale and Peoria, and Glendale Union High School District have ballot measures asking voters for funding.

The Peoria Unified School District is asking for a continuation of a 13% maintenance and operations (M&O) budget override and a $125 million bond election.

According to PUSD, the $125 million bond would pay for: • Renovation and essential and critical improvements at existing schools and support centers.

• Implementation of safety features at all school sites.

• Replacement of student and staff computer devices, servers and technology infrastructure.

• Replacement of student transportation vehicles including special education and activity buses.

• Acquiring land for future construction of a new high school.

Asked for specific examples, PUSD provided assessment reports from several schools.

A Cactus High assessment identified “deficiencies with a high priority,” including concrete walks, standardized signage and field Irrigation system.

A Centennial High assessment identified “deficiencies with a high priority,” including exhaust fans, standardized signage, refurbish student lockers

and replace restroom partitions.

Cactus and Centennial both require more than $13 million in improvements and repairs, according to the assessments.

An assessment of Marshall Ranch Elementary School found nearly $7 million needed in repairs and improvements, including a sewer line backup, drinking fountains, skylight replacement and painting.

The voters of Glendale Union High School District No. 205 will decide on a $130 million bond. The district has nine high schools in Glendale and Northwest Phoenix.

According to the bond information pamphlet, the $130 million is to be used at GUHSD for constructing and renovating school buildings; purchasing transportation vehicles; improving school grounds; and purchasing furniture, equipment and technology.

Kim Mesquita, a GUHSD spokeswoman, said, “If approved, the bond funds will protect money allocated for the classroom, not cause a tax rate increase, and will be used in the following ways: renovations/repairs of aging schools/buildings; critical technology/ internet upgrades; implement safety and security features; maintenance for roofs, HVAC systems, parking lots; update outdoor athletic facilities at all high schools; maintain reliable buses for student transportation; performing arts upgrades.”

The Peoria Times repeatedly asked GUHSD representatives for specific projects the $130 million bond would fund. At press time, no response has been received.

Glendale HOA orders removal of Black Lives Matter sign

BY ADIANNA BERMUDEZ Cronkite News

Melanie Boyle hung a hand-painted Black Lives Matter sign on her home in July to show her support for the movement and its demands for justice.

“I wanted to do this little act of putting up a sign and open more conversation about it in my area,” she said.

Conversations with her neighbors went well, with some also expressing support for BLM and a supporter of President Donald Trump who acknowledged the rights of Boyle’s family to display their opinions.

Then, in September, she got a different response. Her homeowner’s association, or HOA, sent her a violation notice.

HOAs have the power to dictate which signs and flags can be displayed in homeowners’ yards and on their houses, a power backed up by federal, state and local laws.

Boyle wasn’t having it. One street down from hers, the 36-year-old physician said, are six houses displaying Trump 2020 flags. If those are allowed, she thought, so should her cardboard sign.

Staples of election season, political

signs and banners clutter the sides of busy streets and pop up in yards across metro Phoenix. Throughout the year, some neighbors use flags and signs to show their allegiance to sports team logos or to show “Congrats! You Graduated!” signs.

A Phoenix attorney with an expertise in HOAs said questions that arise in Boyle’s BLM sign case include First Amendment rights to use signs to speak your mind versus HOAs’ legal standing to regulate signs, and whether HOA policies are inconsistently applied.

A trail of emails shows Boyle’s at-

tempts at clarification.

On Aug. 18, Boyle’s HOA near Peoria in North Glendale, which is managed by Spectrum Association Management in Chandler, sent a mass email to residents with updates on the policy pertaining to home security system signs, real estate signs and political signs.

The company cited Glendale city code concerning political signs, set out the maximum number and size of signs allowed, and said they could not be displayed earlier than 71 days before an

Don’t defund our police

BY PAUL BOYER Peoria Times Guest Writer

After talking to residents across Phoenix and Glendale, the one thing I hear most is they want safe neighborhoods and safe communities.

That could all change in a moment depending upon decisions made at the local level. What was once considered a fringe movement has put such safety in jeopardy.

The effects of the Defund the Police movement have become the sad reality of many Americans in major cities across the country who have watched their homes burn and their family-owned businesses destroyed.

Many residents are even terrified to go outside their homes after dark. This isn’t Baghdad or Damascus but major cities in the United States.

Which is why an overwhelming majority of residents support their local police, because they know a reduced police presence will harm those most at risk.

For example, according to a recent Gallup poll, 61% of Black Americans want the same police presence in their neighborhoods and 20% of Black Americans want more of a police presence in their neighborhoods.

So, who exactly wants to see less of a police presence?

Those who want to watch our neighborhoods burn just like Minneapolis, Portland and Seattle.

Should any of our city councils defund the police, they will damage the very neighborhoods who need a police presence the most.

Known as the “Minneapolis effect,” crime will increase exponentially, with criminals getting a free pass to wreak havoc with impunity, and more locally owned businesses will burn, all of which would take decades to rebuild.

The equation is quite simple—more police officers equals less crime and chaos; fewer police officers equals more crime and chaos. Consider two cities similar in size: Phoenix and Philadelphia.

While the Philadelphia Police Department has 6,400 sworn police officers who patrol a population of 1.56 million people in a 142-square-mile area, Phoenix has 2,900 sworn police officers with a 1.58 million population who patrol 516 square miles.

This means the Phoenix Police Department has to cover twice the distance with less than half the police force.

So while the public expects officers to respond to serious felonies from individuals with multiple outstanding warrants in the most stressful of conditions with little to no backup and quite often with only a few hours of sleep.

Further, the public judges an officer on a split-second life-and-death response under such stressful situations.

The least we can do is give them more support in hiring additional sworn officers, more training and vocal support.

Of course, no one, not even the officers I speak to on a regular basis, would ever say a cop who has broken the law should get a free pass.

In those cases, they should be held accountable.

“No officer wants to pull the trigger.”

That’s what one officer told me when I asked him if there was one thing he thinks the public should know about law enforcement.

The best way to achieve that goal is giving officers the support where they need it most.

Republican State Sen. Paul Boyer is running for reelection in Legislative District 20.

Remember our firefighters

BY DOUG ERVIN Peoria Times Guest Writer

During my decades as an accountant and business consultant, I learned that progress is often impeded when people ignore a good idea just because of the source. So, even though it is not usually politically astute to compliment your general election rival, I applaud my LD20 Senate opponent for his efforts with firefighters. My opponent and I disagree on many issues, but we both want firefighters to receive workers’ compensation benefits upon being diagnosed with cancer.

Along with the bill’s prime sponsor, he pushed for passage of SB 1160 that adds to the list of cancers that are presumed to arise from a firefighter’s employment. The bill, which did not pass the Republican-controlled Legislature, would have removed the requirement that firefighters document their exposure to a known cancer-causing carcinogen and clarified that the presumption is conclusive and irrebuttable if other requirements are met.

I strongly support our firefighters and completely agree that we need to ensure these brave first responders do not have to fight for workers’ compensation coverage while battling cancer. The presumption clarifications in the Senate bill are good, but another unfunded mandate is the last thing Arizona cities and towns need from the state.

For too long our current state legislators have avoided fiscal responsibility on important issues and pushed the burden onto others. Many fire districts and cities in Arizona are self-insured for a variety of items, including the workers’ compensation programs, and the changes mandated by SB 1160

could increase costs for cities and towns. This is why I support appropriating state funds to establish a fire district risk pool and help departments purchase protective equipment that will help keep first responders safe.

Not only is this the right thing to do for our firefighters, but it is also a wise investment in our community, as it will help firefighters to get an earlier cancer diagnosis, receive prompt treatment, keep firefighters on the job, reduce future illnesses and save lives.

In March, Rep. Robert Meza proposed an amendment to the Health Budget Reconciliation Bill and eloquently spoke of our commitment to Arizona’s first responders. The one-time appropriation would have established funds for firefighter cancer research and prevention, municipal fire department reinsurance, and establishment of a fire district workers’ compensation pool. Unfortunately, leaders of the Republican party prevented any discussion of these much-needed measures, citing earlier agreements, chamber rules and expediency.

Next year, legislators will have to make difficult budget decisions on how to best address issues related to the pandemic, job growth, education and other immediate funding needs.

During these negotiations, we need to remember our brave first responders. They have dedicated their lives to protecting ours, so we have an obligation to support our firefighters as they fight cancer.

It is time to fully address this issue, so we need elected officials who will work together, avoid partisan politics and pass reforms that ensure first responders who contract cancer get the SEE ERVIN PAGE 12

OPINION PAID POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT

Who will stand up to Big Labor?

Every day, millions of working Americans are forced to pay tribute to a union boss just to earn a living and feed their families. Union chieftains funnel this hard-earned money into the campaigns of Tax-and-Spend politicians who protect and expand Big Labor’s compulsory unionism power and the BILLIONS in forced-dues dollars it generates.

Nearly 80% of Arizonans think that’s just plain wrong.

Buyers are ‘waiting for the fall’ in home prices

BY LISA BAKER

Peoria Times Guest Writer

After we set a record 144 days over 100 degrees in a calendar year, we are finally enjoying the cooler temperatures of fall.

In the housing market, we’re still “waiting for the fall”—the cool-down we typically see going into the autumn season.

During September, 379 MLS listing sales closed in Glendale and 415 in Peoria.

At this writing, there are 212 active and available listings (not counting properties already under contract or pending close of escrow) in MLS in Glendale and 287 active listings in Peoria. That’s 56% of one month’s inventory in Glendale (down from 64% in August) and 69% of one month’s in-

ventory in Peoria (down from 71% in August).

Overall, Maricopa County dipped slightly with today’s inventory at 87% of September’s closed sales (down from 89% last month).

With the seller’s market holding steady, in Maricopa County, only 9% of sellers contributed to buyer’s closing costs last month, a sharp drop from 24% in August and 31% in July.

Showing traffic is still holding strong. According to ShowingTime, the platform Realtors use to schedule most MLS showings, during September, listings in the $200,000-$299,999 range in averaged 16.55 showings per listing in Glendale and 15.4 in Peoria.

The next closest was the $300,000$399,999 range, with 12.78 showings per listing in Glendale and 10.61

showings per listing in Peoria. And not every showing is scheduled through ShowingTime, so the actual numbers are higher.

Interest rates are still holding low and even dipped slightly. According to Freddie Mac, as of Oct. 15, U.S. weekly averages were 2.81% for a 30-year fixed, 2.35% for a 15-year fixed-rate, and 2.9% for a five-year ARM. Amid the rising costs and competition among buyers, I’ve been asked about entry-level prices for detached homes in the West Valley. In September, the lowest price buyers found for a detached house with at least three bedrooms and two baths varied depending on the type of financing.

In Glendale, conventional buyers spent a minimum of $145,000, FHA buyers spent $185,000 and VA buyers spent $253,000.

Peoria buyers, with a conventional

loan, spent a minimum of $215,000, FHA buyers spent $220,000 and VA buyers spent $240,000.

In Maricopa County, buyers paid a minimum of $145,000 with a conventional mortgage, $180,000 with FHA, and $200,990 with a VA loan. Countywide, buyers using financing made up for 66% of MLS sales in September.

If you’re struggling right now, there are people to contact who can help you out before you start to fall. If you’re a homeowner, contact your lender to see what programs they are offering.

If you’re a tenant, rental assistance is available through the Arizona Department of Housing website at saveourhomeaz.gov. If you’re a landlord, you can apply for aid at arizonatogether.org/ grants.

Abrazo Arrowhead welcomes familiar new CEO

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

It was not just “welcome” but “welcome back” at Abrazo Arrowhead Campus, as Stephen Garner was named the hospital’s chief executive officer this month.

This is a return to the Northwest Valley for Garner, who previously served as the hospital’s chief operating officer.

Garner rejoins Abrazo after two years as Tenet Palm Beach Group chief operating officer and chief administrative officer of Delray Medical Center in Delray Beach, Florida.

Brian Elisco, who joined Abrazo as CEO of the Arrowhead Campus earlier this year, has transitioned to become chief executive officer of the Tenet Arizona Group, which includes Abrazo Health in Phoenix and Carondelet Health Network in Tucson.

“I’m very happy to be back at Abrazo Arrowhead Campus and continue working with our outstanding medical staff and employees. I look forward to reconnecting with the community and introducing our services to those who are new to this growing area,” said Garner. “It’s important for people to know that it’s safe to go to the hospital and needed care should not be delayed.”

The new Abrazo Surprise Hospital at Loop 303 and Bell Road is a satellite of the Arrowhead Campus, “extending our services to a greater number of residents,” Garner added.

Abrazo Arrowhead Campus earned High Performing rankings for five adult procedures and conditions in the U.S. News & World Report Best Hospitals 2020-21: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair, Congestive Heart Failure, Co-

lon Cancer Surgery, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Hip Replacement.

In his previous role as chief operating officer for Abrazo Arrowhead Campus and Abrazo Arizona Heart Hospital from 2014-18, Garner led implementation of several key service line growth initiatives and was actively involved in developing a culture of operational excellence, accountability, safety and quality.

During Garner’s tenure at Delray Medical Center, the hospital earned the 2019 and 2020 Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award and America’s 50 Best Hospitals achievement.

Garner attended the United States Air Force Academy and earned bachelor’s, MBA and law degrees from Baylor University.

Recreational weed sales could be big business

BY EMILY SCHMIDT Cronkite News

On Election Day, voters may make it legal to purchase recreational marijuana in Arizona—which could mean big business for dispensaries in Glendale and beyond.

According to Marijuana Business Daily, “California took in a record $208 million in excise, sales and cultivation taxes from the cannabis industry in the second quarter of 2020.”

Ten other states have legalized recreational marijuana. Colorado, Michigan, Nevada and Oregon also have estimated marijuana sales in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Arizona joins three others—Montana, New Jersey and South Dakota—with the question on the Nov. 3 ballot.

Four years after Arizona voters rejected legalizing recreational marijuana, the issue is back, appearing on November’s ballot as Proposition 207.

In addition to an excise tax, the proposition would tax recreational marijuana under the general sales tax.

The Marijuana Legalization Initiative, also known as the Smart and Safe Arizona Act, would legally allow people 21 and older to possess up to 1 ounce of marijuana, although smoking it in public places and open spaces would be prohibited. Arizonans would be allowed to grow up to six plants in their personal residences, and anyone arrested for, charged with or convicted of less serious marijuana-related offenses would be allowed to petition to have their criminal records expunged beginning July 21, 2021.

“We took the Smoke-Free Arizona Act that was passed in 2007 and used that as a model” for the public smoking aspect, said Chad Campbell, a former Democratic state representative who’s chairman of Smart and Safe Arizona. “We really ended public smoking, (which) hasn’t been done in any other state.”

However, Lisa James, chairwoman of Arizonans for Health and Public Safety,

and other critics contend the proposition would not completely ban marijuana usage in public.

“While the proposition says it would ban smoking in public places, it doesn’t say anything about consuming (THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana) via vaping or edibles in public,” she said.

Proposition 207 also would put the Arizona Department of Health Services in charge of regulations for businesses producing and selling marijuana.

All sales would face a 16% surtax, which would fund community colleges, public safety, public health programs and infrastructure.

Smart and Safe Arizona, the group promoting the proposition, raised $3.48 million. Arizonans for Health and Public Safety, the main opposition campaign, collected $142,065.

Arizona voters approved the use of marijuana for medical reasons in 2010, and the first dispensaries opened in 2012.

Dr. Ed Gogek, a psychiatrist specializing in substance abuse and the author of “Marijuana Debunked,” said Proposition 207 will allow the for-profit marijuana industry to encourage teenage usage, much as tobacco companies did decades ago.

“What turns a profit for these companies is appealing to teenagers, even if they have to say they’re not trying to do that,” Gogek said. “ Dr. John Sutro, who assesses patients at Scottsdale Medical Marijuana Certification Center, said Arizona residents would pay more if they bypass the state’s medical marijuana option and purchase directly from recreational dispensaries.

Recreational marijuana would be taxed at 16% in addition to state and local taxes of about 9%, which equals 25%, and the rate could increase with demand, he said.

A medical card obtained through a doctor is valid for two years and costs $150. Medical marijuana sales are subject to state and city taxes.

Centennial’s Lindholm a leader on and off the field

BY RAY BELKORA

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

Daxon Lindholm first held a football in his hands as a baby. To this day, it rarely leaves those hands.

While the way the football fits in his grasp has changed over the years, his love and passion for the sport hasn’t.

The Centennial star is verbally committed to play slot back—a versatile position combining running back and slot receiver—for the United States Military Academy. Although he acknowledged his recruitment is still open, Lindholm and those around him see West Point as an ideal destination.

“Character is really important to me, and I’m blessed that I committed to a service academy,” Lindholm said. “I know that they’ll care about me as a person and how I’m doing academically, socially and all other aspects before football.”

Lindholm’s family has a history in the military, so he’s familiar with the academies.

“He knows an interesting fact about each president,” Centennial head coach Richard Taylor said with a chuckle. “In order.”

When asked if it was true, Lindholm responded with a confident “yup.”

Growing up in Grand Junction, Colorado, Lindholm had a pop-up book of state capitals that he read every day beginning when he was 3 years old. His family is originally from South Dakota, and it was during a trip to Mount Rushmore—specifically the Presidential Wax Museum—when the passion really blossomed.

“I walked through the entire place and read everything on every plaque for every president,” Lindholm said. “Then I started getting books. I have about 50 books about the presidents, and I’ve read through all of them.”

He loves to see and learn from all of their faults and successes, something

he applies to football as well. After a blowout loss to Hamilton in the opening game of the season, Lindholm could not wait to get back in the film room and on the practice field.

The motivation and work ethic paid off, as his Coyotes rebounded with a 37-0 win at Mountain Pointe the next week.

“Football is all strategic. It’s like warfare, and that’s why I’m inspired to go to West Point,” Lindholm said. “I’m all about strategy. I like seeing the outcome, but I love to know the mechanism behind it.”

Sadly, Lindholm’s journey includes tragedy. His mother was killed in a car accident when he was just 3 years old.

He never really knew his father, so he moved in with his grandparents.

Grandfather Stan Lindholm, raised in Buffalo, South Dakota, was an all-state

running back and kicker in high school.

He had a chance to play at the University of Wyoming, but full scholarships were almost nonexistent in the early 1970s and his family did not have the means to pay for college.

His playing career may have come to an end, but his knowledge and passion for the game would come in handy down the road.

Lindholm started playing football when he was 4 years old, and Stan was there every step of the way.

“Every ride home after practice he’d tell me what I did wrong, and he would take me out to the field to practice footwork or routes,” Lindholm recalled. “I wanted to play sports and he knew I had a future in athletics, so he made sure he helped me achieve my goals no matter what.”

In 2013, Stan developed multiple my-

eloma. The family moved from Grand Junction to the Phoenix area to be close to the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. When Stan passed away in 2016, Lindholm lost a mentor he considered his father.

“He shaped me in his image, and I could never thank him enough, because without him I would never be where I am today,” Lindholm said. “He taught me everything I knew.”

Stan would be proud of who Lindholm has become. Off the field, Lindholm was president of finance and fundraising for Centennial’s Future Business Leaders of America club.

He’s been involved in the club since his freshman year, when his English teacher and program director, Mrs. Mylynda Koener, recognized his passion for the subject.

“Daxon has a love of politics and is an adept conversationalist in his views that are impressive and mature beyond his years,” Koener said. “He has a desire to serve in the political realm and the world would be blessed from his talent and leadership.”

Lindholm accepted her invitation to a meeting and fell in love with it immediately.

“I love knowing that there are so many people that can make an impact on the country and the economy,” Lindholm said. “I just want to get a foot in the door for my future.”

Although he has an exciting future ahead of him, Lindholm appreciates the present as well. He doesn’t think there will be a day in his life where he doesn’t look back and remember an experience he had at Centennial. He gets motivation from being a part of the Coyote family.

“The Centennial community gathers around us and supports us every Friday night,” Lindholm said. “I say we go out there and get a win to repay them for their support.”

CENTENNIAL FROM PAGE 16

On the field, the path to the end zone hasn’t always been smooth.

During the third game of his freshman season, Lindholm broke his arm and missed the remainder of the year.

He got a late start on transforming his body in the offseason, causing him to split time between junior varsity and varsity as a sophomore.

“I thought it was going to affect my career and the future, but no matter what obstacles get thrown my way I al-

ways make sure to bounce back,” Lindholm said. “In fact, I learn from it to get better.”

Lindholm gained over 600 all-purpose yards during his junior season and made huge strides as a player.

“His vision has gotten a lot better and his speed and overall athleticism have improved as well,” teammate DJ Gleash said.

If Lindholm doesn’t go on to play professional football, he has a clear

idea for how he wants to spend his service time.

“I want to work in national security and intelligence,” Lindholm said. “If not that, then in Washington with the political side of things and dealing with officials and briefings.”

Based on the words of Taylor, it would be a perfect fit.

“He doesn’t always talk a whole lot, but when Daxon says something, it is well worth listening to,” he said.

A 31-21 victory over Pinnacle High Oct. 23 raised rebounding Centennial’s record to 3-1 going into a Friday, Oct. 30, showdown in Peoria with undefeated Chandler.

Ironwood High lost for the first time to powerful Desert Edge. Ironwood hosts Sunrise Mountain Friday, Oct. 30.

Liberty High, coming off a 35-28 win over Queen Creek, battles Friday while Peoria High is scheduled to take on Northwest Christian in Oct. 30 games.

‘Night of the Living Will’ Zoom event planned for Halloween

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The Area Agency on Aging and the Elder Law, Mental Health and Special Needs Planning Section of the State Bar of Arizona will provide free consultation on developing living wills and health care power of attorney at the “Night of the Living Will” event on Saturday, Oct. 31.

This event will be held online via Zoom. Reservations for specific appointments with an attorney can be arranged by calling the 24-Hour Senior HELP LINE at 602-264-4357.

“It’s never too early to have a plan in place so that personal choices are determined about who will manage your medical affairs if you are unable,” said Area Agency on Aging President and CEO Mary Lynn

Kasunic. “We are grateful to the attorneys who will volunteer their time to make this opportunity available to the community.”

A health care power of attorney is a legal document appointing an “agent” and an “alternate agent” to make medical decisions for someone unable to do so.

A living will is a legal document providing instructions to the agent under a health care power of attorney about how an individual wants to be treated in end-of-life situations. Attorneys will only be able to discuss health care powers of attorney and living wills during the 45-minute sessions and cannot provide counsel on other legal issues.

Abrazo ER doctor gives Halloween safety tips

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Like the rest of a year dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Halloween 2020 will be quite a bit different.

Dr. Brian Hess, an emergency physician with Abrazo Health, offers some creative tips for Halloween safety during the pandemic.

“There are alternatives to keep everyone safely at home and still enjoy the holiday, like virtual costume parties via family Zoom calls or household Halloween movie nights,” Hess said.

“Virtual parties can be planned like any other, with decorations and backdrops for the video call;

children can wear their costumes, enjoy snacks and even play games like scavenger hunts or virtual bobbing for apples. The whole family can participate, even friends and family members in other cities.

A quick web search or your local party store can help with ideas,” he said.

Hess noted that trick-or-treating increases risk for getting or spreading coronavirus and flu. The best plan is to stay home, practice physical distancing, wear a mask and wash your hands frequently.

becoming the historian and president of the Bay Area chapter of the Frank Sinatra Music Society. The fan club he started evolved to a worldwide collectors group with officers in England, Australia, Italy and the United States.

“Joseph Memoli may have been Frank Sinatra’s biggest fan,” said auctioneer Erik Hoyer, owner of EJ’s Auction & Appraisal. “He certainly recognized the value of collecting thousands of songs and hundreds of tapes and movies, which were used in countless benefits, radio programs and television specials throughout the country.”

The collection, which was consigned by Memoli’s widow, a Sun City resident, includes several reel-to-reel interviews with the “Chairman of the Board.”

“Currently, bidders are showing the most interest in a personally inscribed Movado watch that Frank Sinatra gave to Mr. Memoli in 1970,” Hoyer said.

Formed in 1970, the Frank Sinatra Music Society was dedicated to the acknowledgment and celebration of Sinatra’s musical genius. Among those accepting honorary membership in the group were notables like Sammy Davis Junior, Don Ho, Mr. and Mrs. Count Basie, Shirley MacLaine, Tony Bennet, Mrs. Nancy Sinatra, Frank’s daughters Nancy and Tina, and Frank’s son Frank Sinatra Jr. For more details, visit ejsauction.com or call 623-878-2003.

tinues to stress physical distancing, hand washing and wearing masks to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

If you’re venturing out on Halloween, the CDC offers tips to take to help make trick-or-treating safer: • Keep 6 feet of distance and avoid direct contact with trick-or-treaters.

• Wash hands before handling treats.

• Give out treats outdoors, if possible.

• Set up a station with individually bagged treats for kids to take.

• Always wear a mask, and remember a costume mask is not a substitute for a cloth mask.

• Bring hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Parents supervise

young children using hand sanitizer.

Inexpensive healthy alternatives, such as stickers, bubbles, crayons and clay bring a fun twist to Halloween treats. Glow sticks, juice boxes, mini bottles of water, and goldfish in factory-packaged snack bags are another option.

Make sure that masks fit correctly and costumes aren’t a tripping hazard. Makeup can be fun, but kids may have sensitive skin and break out in itchy rashes and hives from makeup, Hess said.

“Halloween is still a great time for families to bond, but it’s obviously going to be a little different this year,” he said.

The “Joseph Memoli Frank Sinatra Audio Collection” includes more than 120 rare items.

Sometimes you’re darned if you do and darned if you don’t.

There is no decision that is a win-win for you. In life, there is always a tension between risk and reward, abundance and scarcity, offense or defense, pursuing vision or escaping loss, being proactive and reactive, faith or safety.

There are times when you take ground and times when you hold ground. The problem with holding ground is that it is easy to slip from holding ground to losing ground.

We see the risk/safety issue in our current election cycle. COVID-19 has one-half of the nation anchored in fear of COVID-19, seeking safety. The other half of the nation thinks it’s worth the risk to get going again, but with caution. Each side interprets the COVID-19 statistics through their lens of safety/loss or risk/reward.

Each says they are “following the sci-

the situation required caution. He embraced the paradox. That should be our stance also.

Here’s my opinion: There is a difference between living in fear and living in caution. Caution is being careful when you’re doing something. Fear is not doing it at all. There comes a time when the consequences of fear-based living are worse than the risk of proactive living.

Here’s sound wisdom for you during these crazy, opinion-driven times. If you’re going to believe in everything you read, start with your Bible. “For God has not given us a spirit of timidity but of power, love and sound judgment.” 2 Timothy 1:7. In other words, let’s always be proactive, let’s not hate those who disagree with us, and let’s be cautious when and where necessary, but not driven by fear.

Someone once said, “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.”

Peoria Times Columnist

States. Collins found that they learn how to embrace paradox rather than be limited by the worldview of either/or.

Collins says the “tyranny of the OR” pushes people to believe that things must be either A or B, but not both.

Collins notes that most unsuccessful companies adopted an “either/ or” way of interpreting life and business. “These companies limited themselves, oppressed themselves and then lost themselves.” Collins goes on to say that “highly successful, visionary companies liberated themselves with the ‘genius of the AND.’” The “genius of the AND” is the ability to embrace both extremes of several dimensions simultaneously. Instead of choosing between A or B, they figure out how to have both A and B. For example, Toyota has learned how to combine high quantity and high quality at the same time. They sell a heap of quality cars. A business can have a purpose beyond profit and a pragmatic pursuit of profit. The same is valid for risk and safety. We can have both at the same time. Jesus was forward thinking and forward moving but was not afraid to use caution when

ence.” Both sides have the medical experts and pundits lined up to verify their positions.

If you are safety orientated, you most likely will vote for the candidate that is like you. If you are risk orientated, you will most likely vote for the candidate that is like you. And because of “us/them,” each side will most likely disdain the other side because “we are right, and they are wrong.” Sound familiar?

Why can’t it be both views are right … partially. Why can’t it be both/ and? Why does it seem like we embrace the either/or, win/lose, good/ evil, us/them? Why does it need to be “Me Tarzan, You Jane” or, in today’s world, “Me Jane, You Tarzan?” Why does it need to be extreme one way or the other? When we live on the harsh edges of the bell-shaped curve, no matter what we desire, it will never be enough for us, and we will demand others to be just as extreme as we are.

Have you ever heard of the “tyranny of the OR?” Jim Collins coined this phrase in his book “Built to Last.”

Young ones learn water safety at Hubbard Family Swim School

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Educational schools are diving back in—and so is the Hubbard Family Swim School in Peoria, where safety meets fun.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all the swim instructors at the Hubbard Family Swim School are wearing large, plastic face shields while teaching children in the swimming pools.

Founded in 1998 by co-owners Bob and Kathy Hubbard, Hubbard Family Swim School offers lessons to children 8 weeks to 12 years old.

“The fall and winter months are a great time to enroll children in swim lessons during the week or on the weekend,” Bob Hubbard said. “Not only is swimming excellent exercise for children to enjoy after school and a wonderful way for them to burn off energy, we don’t want children to lose the important swim skills and swim strokes they learned over the summer.”

After-school swim lessons are available on weekdays until 7 p.m.

Hubbard offers free “Baby Splash” classes for infants 8 weeks to 5 months old. Parent participation in the water is required. These 30-minute water accli-

mation classes give parents or caregivers a chance to learn tips on how to enjoy tub time at home with the baby and also prepare the baby for swim lessons.

There is a $25 registration fee.

“Our popular Baby Splash classes give parents an excellent way to spend quality time with their babies in the water,” Kathy Hubbard said. “Their swim class together is wonderful bonding time, and then

after the class, the babies always enjoy a nice, long nap.”

Hubbard Family Swim School in Peoria is at 8402 W. Thunderbird Road, Suite B103.

U of Phoenix and MCCCD add up new ‘3 + 1’ program

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Cost-conscious students—and, of course, their families—may be interested in a new “3+1” transfer program.

The University of Phoenix and the Maricopa Community Colleges launched an agreement to allow graduates of MCCCD to more easily transfer their credits to University of Phoenix toward earning a bachelor’s degree.

The 3+1 transfer program will allow students to save on the cost of their education by spending three years completing general course requirements at a community college, with a final year at University of Phoenix to secure a B.S. in management, BS in health management or B.S. in nursing.

“We are excited to align with the Maricopa Community Colleges to help address the skills gap in popular industries such as nursing, management and health care,” University of Phoenix Provost John Woods said. “Preparing students for fulfilling careers is a mission both institutions share, and this pathway means students save money, while still completing their bachelor’s in four years.”

jected growth in the area justified the creation of another campus, so a multiphased master plan was developed.

Once the rest of the phases are complete, the campus will have buildings on both sides of the wash that bisects the campus. “We wanted to keep the wash as pristine as possible,” said Chuck Jeffery, the academic dean at GCC who played an instrumental role in the vision, design and construction of GCC North. “Instead of altering the natural landscape, we decided to build around it with the wash serving as the center point of campus. Eventually, bridges will span the wash, connecting the north and south buildings.”

The master plan for GCC North Campus calls for multiple construction phases.

degree and can graduate in as little as 14 months, when transferring 87 credits to University of Phoenix.

“Our agreement with University of Phoenix will allow students to attend a Maricopa college and get a head start in earning their bachelor’s degree,” said Rose Rojas, director of transfer.

“Our colleges are committed to offering students the best path for their educational journey. The pathway with University of Phoenix provides a very cost-effective option for students to earn both an associate degree and bachelor’s degree in high-demand areas.”

The agreement applies to all 10 Maricopa Community Colleges, including Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale and Glendale Community College.

University of Phoenix offers undergraduate students one course at a time at five-week increments with new courses starting monthly. Additionally, University of Phoenix will waive all fees and tuition for the first course and provides a special Associate Degree Transfer tuition rate for all remaining courses, which is a savings of $144 per course.

Dr. Lorelei Carvajal, senior associate vice president of Glendale Community College, said, “We are very fortunate to be located in such a vibrant community, and my goal is to expand our offerings so we can better meet the needs of the residents and businesses who are our neighbors.”

GCC North has been providing drive-thru COVID testing since the beginning of September, and the Chinle Building is an official voting location.

Glendale Community College provides 41 associate degrees, 61 certificate programs and a range of nondegree offerings, all available to students in traditional, online and hybrid formats.
