Legislative District 21 candidates for Arizona state Senate and House of Representatives gave their views on what they feel is best for residents at a candidate forum Oct. 4 at Peoria City Council Chambers moderated by Arizona Clean Elections Commission. Above are Republican Sen. Rick Gray, running for re-election; independent candidate Kathy Knecht, challenging Gray; and two Democrats, Bradley Hughes and Gilbert Romero, who seek to unseat Republicans Tony Rivero and Kevin Payne in the House.

LD 21 candidates take center stage

By CAROLYN DRYER Editor

A veteran Republican legislator, a 12-year veteran of Peoria Unified School District Governing Board and two Democratic newcomers to the election process sat in front of a Peoria City Council Chambers audience Oct. 4 to give their reasons why they should be voted into office. All four are running in Legislative District

21. Two legislative veterans — Republican Reps.

Kevin Payne and Tony Rivero — did not attend the candidate forum hosted by the Arizona Clean Elections Commission. Commissioner Natalie Sayer served as moderator.

Sen. Rick Gray is seeking re-election, while independent Kathy Knecht, who is serving out her 12th year on the PUSD Governing Board, hopes to unseat him. Democrats

Bradley Hughes and Gilbert Romero are hoping to win the seats held by Payne and Rivero.

Gray served three terms in the House and was appointed by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors in January to finish Debbie Lesko’s term in the Senate. Payne was appointed to finish Gray’s term in the House. Rivero is seeking his third term in the House.

In her opening state-

ment, Knecht said she was disappointed in the trajectory of the Legislature and said until there is a change in that body, there will be no change.

“I’m ready to fulfill a collaborative effort going forward,” Knecht said.

Hughes was born in Kentucky, lived there until after college at Louisville and has spent the last eight years in Arizona. He is a physician with two sons.

Hughes said health-

Old Town Peoria has busy fall schedule The city of Peoria is hosting a series of events, food, theater, and live music in the heart of Old Town Peoria. Events are held indoors and outdoors at Peoria Center for the Performing Arts (PCPA), in Osuna Park, and on Washington Street in front of Fire Station No. 1 — Lucidi’s Distillery.

Old Town is developing as a center for culture and arts as more programming and events are offered in that location. Every weekend this fall and winter, catch a variety of entertainment and food options: Listen to live music performances, eat locally, have a drink and enjoy the night. With plenty of space to run around, and pop-up games to play, the venue could be a great place for the entire family. Here are many options for active weekends as well as select weeknight evenings.

Upcoming events include:

• Music on the Plaza from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 13 outside the PCPA • Linda Ronstadt Tribute and Taco Tuesday 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Oct. 16 on the Plaza at PCPA • Food Trucks 5 to 9 p.m. Oct. 20 at the Distillery near 83rd and Grand avenues These new, family-friendly events will bring a variety of entertainment options to the Old Town area.

care, public education and taking care of decades old corruption at the state Capitol are the reasons he is running for office.

Romero called himself a community organizer, a labor activist and lifelong resident of LD 21. He voiced disappointment in Payne and Rivero and the sharp decline in education funding the past 10 years.

All of the candidates placed education at the top of the list of their constitu-

ents’ three main concerns.

Knecht said the reason for that is almost every part of our quality of life depends on education. Next on the list was healthcare.

Hughes said corruption was third because of its presence, in his opinion it is around charter school funding.

“Legislators are lining their own pockets with laws they’re passing,” Hughes said.

to give free A/C unit to deserving veteran

Forrest Anderson Plumbing and Air Conditioning Inc., a familyowned business in the Phoenix area since 1961, will honor men and women who served in the military by providing one local veteran with a new air conditioning unit. Forrest Anderson just launched its 2018 Military Hero AC Giveaway to share veterans’ stories and award one winner a free Carrier heating and cooling system with complete installation.

To nominate a veteran for the Military Hero AC Giveaway, community members are encouraged to submit a 200-word essay and fill out a short application at https://forrestanderson.net.

Up to five finalists will be posted on Forrest Anderson’s Facebook page where the public can read their stories, share them and vote for a winner. The contest is open to active duty military, retired service members and veterans who were discharged

under general or honorable conditions.

“This is an important opportunity for everyone at Forrest Anderson to thank veterans for their service and acknowledge their contributions to keeping our families safe,” Audrey Monell, president of Forrest Anderson, said.

“The men and women who enter the military sacrifice so much for our national security and we think it is important to share their stories and honor their dedication to

our country.”

This is the third consecutive year Forrest Anderson has sponsored the Military Hero AC Giveaway, as it sees first-hand the potential dangers of living without air conditioning in Arizona.

Monell said she believes the men and women who risk their lives fighting for our freedom deserve to be recognized and have a relaxing, comfortable home.

The deadline to nominate a veteran is Oct. 15.

Finalists will be announced in late October, and the public will be encouraged to vote through the Forrest Anderson Facebook Page.

The winner will be announced Nov. 9.

The donation is made possible in part by Sigler Wholesale Distributors, which is providing a Carrier 14 Seer Heating and Cooling system, Empire Metal Products, which has donated the sheet metal, and Smiley Crane Service.

Love It — Don’t Trash It! litter prevention awareness campaign begins Picture this: A 20-something man shuffles into the kitchen to make breakfast. After dumping out sour milk on the floor, tossing eggshells over his shoulder and dropping a coffeepot on the ground so hard it shatters, you’re cringing at the way this guy treats his home. Why would he do that?

That’s the question a new campaign for Don’t Trash Arizona wants you to ask. You would never trash your home like that, so why would you trash the highways in the beautiful state we call home?

“Arizona is our home. Love it. Don’t trash it!” is the catchphrase you’ll hear on the radio, view online, see playing at the gas pump, or even watch pass

by on a light rail train. The messy scene described above is part of a new public service announcement with the same theme. The spot ends with the ultimate goal of the campaign: A contrasting scene of Arizona beauty.

Don’t Trash Arizona is a litter prevention campaign implemented by the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) in cooperation with the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The goal is to address the economic, safety and health impacts of freeway litter along regional and state highways. The program began in 2006, but is being updated with a new look and feel.

“This campaign tells the

story that our state is a place to take pride in and keep clean,” said MAG Chair Gail Barney, mayor of Queen Creek. “The campaign uses a tongue-incheek approach to promote mindful behavior with a sense of pride and ownership in Arizona.”

The messages target not only general littering behavior but also cigarette butt litter and dangerous debris from unsecured loads. Using yellow road stripes over black pavement, the graphic visuals emphasize: • Arizona is not your ashtray.

• Arizona is not your trashcan.

• Arizona is not your junkyard.

• Arizona is our home. Love it, don’t trash it!

The Don’t Trash Arizona campaign targets men ages 19 to 24, often found to be the worst litter offenders. The strategy is to use attention-grabbing content to engage that audience on the platforms where they spend most of their time.

Litter not only costs Arizona taxpayers $4 million each year to clean up roadways, but it is unhealthy for the environment and for us. It also causes serious accidents on our roads. Keeping our roadways beautiful is important to the quality of life in the region and the image projected to visitors and prospective businesses. For more, visit www.DontTrashArizona.com.

Peoria receives HEART Safe City designation

The city of Peoria has been recognized as a HEART Safe Community by the Arizona Department of Health Services SHARE (Save Hearts in Arizona Registry and Education) program.

The program aims to strengthen the “chain of survival” by encouraging quick bystander action following sudden cardiac arrest emergency.

“Making sure that residents and visitors to our city receive the highest level of medical care is important to us. We know that every second counts when it comes to helping cardiac arrest patients, and knowing that our preparations are saving lives makes us very proud. We are truly honored by this designation,” Bobby Ruiz, Peoria Fire-Medical Department chief, said.

Becoming a HEART Safe Community is a voluntary designation that encourages Arizona schools, communities and businesses to meet or exceed the SHARE Program’s criteria for preparedness.

“The Peoria Fire-Medical team is constantly going above and beyond, and taking steps to ensure that we continue to be

one of the safest cities in the Valley,” Peoria Mayor Cathy Carlat said. “This designation is proof of our ongoing commitment to the safety of our residents, and I am excited to see that the city of Peoria has

again been designated as a HEART Safe Community.”

The Peoria Fire-Medical Department created a written plan for responding to cardiac arrest emergencies, trained at least half the city staff in CPR,

and offers hands-only and conventional CPR training to the public. In 2017, Peoria FireMedical offered CPR/AED training to nearly 1,600 adults and children throughout the community — equipping hun-

dreds of families with live-saving skills. Outside of training, AEDs are also placed in key public locations, and are registered and monitored through the SHARE program.

“We are thrilled that the city of Peoria, with the assistance of the Peoria Fire-Medical Department, has been recognized as a Heart Safe City. They deserve recognition for their impressive efforts to measure and strengthen the chain of survival in response to sudden cardiac arrest — including public CPR training and awareness, 911 dispatch assistance, AED placement in the community, trained responders and transport to cardiac receiving center hospitals,” said Ben Bobrow, medical director of the Arizona Department of Health Services, Bureau of Emergency Medical Services.

Turn to page 11 to learn about the G.A.I.N. Public Safety Night taking place Oct. 13 at Peoria Pioneer Community Park. Peoria Fire-Medical and Police departments will be displaying equipment and talking with residents about their services. It’s free and it is open to all residents, their families and friends.

LD 21: Education at top of list; then healthcare From 1 Romero’s third choice on the list of concerns was taxes, saying lower and middle-income families pay more than big corporations.

Gray agreed education is the top issue. He pointed to the $684 million the state pays toward education, calling it the highest percentage of the state budget at 54 percent. He blamed the Affordable Care Act and the economy for the drop in education spending, saying when he first ran for office, people were losing their homes.

When asked about whether they would support taxes to support the Invest in Ed movement, different responses came forth.

Hughes said he would support a tax increase, and to fund the increase, he believes the corporate tax structure needs to be revamped.

Romero also said he would support Red for Ed. “We need a long-term solution for education,” Romero said.

One of Romero’s solu-

tions, similar to Hughes, was to tax corporations.

Gray said he did not support the tax increase.

He said that in July, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee concluded it would be a $915 million, or 17 percent, increase.

“Our economy is growing, growing the pie,” Gray said. We’re seeing revenues now way more than projected.”

Knecht said, “I would have signed the Invest in Ed. The crisis is real; there are fewer teachers. The governor promised 20 percent by 2020 (increase for teacher salaries). There’s no sustainable plan. We’re in an emergency state.”

She questioned what would happen if the state experiences another downturn, and if she were in the Senate, she would push for a long-term sustainable plan.

Sayer asked the candidates what type of approach they would take to address charter schools.

Romero said higher oversight.

“Right now, there’s very little serious reform and

investigation. It’s now a business venture in charter schools,” Romero said.

Gray said his view was the state needs a complete re-evaluation with K-12 schools. He said there is such a convoluted financing system and pointed to Title XV as an example.

“It’s not just one or the other. Look at the system holistically and make this better for everyone,” Gray said.

Knecht said, “When the Legislature went down this road of competition, I favored it. They should have and could have enhanced it. Competition is one thing when everyone has the resources. The better way is to ensure our taxes are most accountable and most transparent and that’s in public schools.”

“Bad actors are going to bring good charter schools down with them,” Hughes said.

Hughes said $10 billion is going to charter schools — “10 percent of our budget.”

“We need these reforms — wholesome and transparent oversight,” Hughes said.

Romero said school officials in Scottsdale are paying for their actions and that is not happening with charter schools.

Candidates were then asked to say what’s being done about roads, highways and streets.

Gray said one of the challenges occurs when the state addresses areas outside Maricopa County.

He called it a major concern.

Knecht pointed to the sweeping of federal Highway User Funds. She said if we are not funding roads and bridges and if the state doesn’t invest, in the long run, it hurts people’s lives.

Hughes called it part of a bigger problem, saying the Legislature wants to add fees, but a more comprehensive reform is needed, “don’t get stuck to an ideology.”

Hughes said, “No party has a monopoly on a bad idea.”

Romero said, “The internet is not a luxury anymore. Have a public option — through government — need to start investing

in, it would drive down cost.”

Gray commented on Knecht’s comment about sweeping of HURF funds, saying, “We are seeing more revenue coming in.”

As to the state’s water policy, candidates had similar responses, each acknowledging state leaders need to be prepared.

Knecht said cities are doing a good job, making sure developments have a 100-year supply.

Hughes said the state needs to sign on to a drought contingency plan; although it would hurt right now, it would set the state up for the future.

Romero said Arizona needs to work with other western states.

“With realities of climate change, start building infrastructure to get water to Arizona,” Romero said.

“You cannot recycle out of climate change.”

Again, Romero called for more taxes from corporations.

Gray said, “I’m glad to see we have people well informed. We let our

forestry industry go down because of the spotted owl.

Our forests are full of trees that take a lot of water.”

Gray suggested the forests need to be harvested (thinned) and Arizona should start looking at a gray water system. officials in Knecht said it was positive to hear good ideas, and she is pleased that Central Arizona Project and Arizona Water Resources are speaking the same language.

Sayer asked the candidates if they had specific plans to make healthcare more affordable in Arizona.

Hughes said better access and more affordability.

“To get real access, you have to get the cost down to cover more people,” Hughes said.

One way, he said was to make drug prices transparent, by opening up the books on pharmacy mid-managers to see how they come up with prices.

Next, he said, the same

LD 21: 3 of 4 oppose Prop. 126, From 4 with hospitals.

Romero said, “We can’t medicate or spend our way out of poor healthcare.”

Romero is in favor of Medicare for all, regardless of age.

Gray said, “Unfortunately, Obamacare impacted everyone across the country. There is a limit to what we can do at the state level, but we’re working on transparency in billing.”

Knecht said the reason health insurance is going up is people are sicker longer with no health insurance. She said that was the reason for Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS).

She said former Gov. Jan Brewer wanted to expand Medicaid and it passed even though Gray opposed it.

Hughes said (hospital billing) should be “very out in the open, easy to see.”

A question from the audience was posed to Romero, asking about the term Democrat socialist.

Romero said, “In a moral economy, we shouldn’t have people too poor to live. We should be taking care of the least of us. It’s really fascinating to me — the exploitation of the working class.”

A question specifically addressed first to Hughes about what his experience was in writing policy.

Hughes said, “No experience.”

But Hughes did say he would like to see a system where students are together to help older people who need help.

Knecht noted her 12 years of serving on the PUSD Governing Board and five years on the board of the Arizona School Boards Association.

Gray said his opponent (Knecht) “talked about me

Peoria Times

against expanding Medicaid.” He said taxes had increased because of it.

Romero said, “Our opponents not showing up today tells you something about Arizona politics today.”

Knecht would like to see all-day kindergarten restored. Gray wants a comprehensive pro-active K-12 bill.

Hughes said his first bill would be to see priority on transparency of health care costs.

Romero said he would like to repeal the right-towork law.

G r a y, H u g h e s a n d Knecht oppose Proposition 126 and Romero is undecided.

Romero was asked how he would represent constituents to distinguish him from current Rep. Rivero.

Romero said Rivero was the third most absent at the Legislature and he promises, “I will listen and show up every day to work on behalf of the people of Arizona.”

Knecht was asked if she was a conservative Republican or a Democrat.

She responded by saying she was “willing to compromise with Republican legislators on educational funding.

“I would sit down with both sides, definitely,” Knecht said. “I want to glean the best ideas from both sides.”

Gray confirmed he received campaign contributions from Arizona Public Service, but he cvould not say how much. He said he looks at both sides and he killed a bill that a lobbyist who had contributed to his campaign favored.

Romero responded to a question about tax credits, saying, “I believe in making this fair for everyone.”

Hughes was asked how

he would eliminate fatalities from distracted drivers. He said investing in technology would help make driving safer.

Knecht and Romero agreed on the need for Arizona to pass an equal rights amendment. Hughes also supported the idea, while Gray made no comment.

Regarding tax incentives, there was consensus about making sure of accountability. Gray agreed there should be a tax credit review. Hughes said they should be tiered.

When it comes to raises for teachers, Hughes was asked if he felt they should be automatic or meritbased, and he said, “absolutely, merit-based.”

All of the candidates said they would meet with constituents on a regular basis to address any concerns.

Gray said he has consistently met with people since he was elected.

Knecht said, “I think being open-minded and make best decisions for them (constituents). People can call, meet me one on one.

Hughes said he would hold one town hall a month and rely on technology, as well.

Romero said he also believes in town halls and would hold them bimonthly while the Legislature is in session.

PUSD needs to solve problems

I am not writing this letter to advocate against the bond issue that is coming before the patrons of the Peoria Unified School District this November, but to let you know that the district and its administration are not solving the problems of the district by merely throwing money at their problems.

I taught in the district for 35 years and I have relatives and friends in the district and I feel that they don’t know the facts.

I feel for those who are on fixed incomes and have to pay for Peoria kids and kids from outside the district.

Here are some things to think about: • Last year, there were over 3,000 students in the high schools from out of the district boundaries. My neighbor who lives in the Glendale district has gone to Heritage and Ironwood for 12 years, yet his parents don’t pay taxes in the district, especially for bond issues. PUSD parents pay taxes and their kids sit in crowded classrooms, and in athletics, their kids sit on the bench while out-of-district kids, who have been recruited, play.

• Ironwood High School last year had more than 2,000 students and 500 were from outside the district; Kellis High School had 1,950 students with 500 from outside of the district. Liberty and Sunrise in the north are crowded, but with Deer Valley Unified School District kids. You are going to build a new school, but 600 kids in the high schools up north are from out of district.

• The state has a fund that helps with new school buildings if you are at capacity. The PUSD cannot use this fund because, and they have not told you this, the district is not at capacity.

• The district wasted money in buying the Challenger Center. It is a boondoggle and will cost the district more than it is worth.

• Do they need schools in the northern part of the district? Yes, but has this district tried everything? Like redistricting and putting more kids in schools that are not full. They have yet to answer the question of what is going to happen to Cactus High School with its 1,200 kids or Peoria High School with its 1,500 kids.

• My suggestion is if a student is from out of the district and he wants to come to the PUSD, he comes to the school with the least amount of students. Otherwise, he stays in the district in which he belongs. Set capacities at high schools of 1,800 students.

Vote for the bond issue, but hold the PUSD administration and Governing Board accountable. Make them be transparent, which they are not, have them solve problems, and above all else, place the needs of PUSD students above those of kids coming in from other districts.

Vote for Stan Arterberry

I am writing today to show my allegiance and support for Stan Arterberry.

We have had ample opportunities in the past few weeks to analyze the aims and objectives of the various candidates in the

Letters to the editor

upcoming Maricopa County Community College Board elections in District 4.

Stan Arterberry’ s honest and practical approach sets him apart from his opponent. He has proven experience, competence and leadership as a community college CEO for more than 20 years and 35 years working in higher education. His leadership as a board member will ensure that our community colleges will maintain affordable tuition, transparency and exceptional educational services, which will make all students a success.

Without any hesitation, it is my intention to vote for Stan Arterberry for Maricopa County Community College District Governing Board, District 4. He is by far the best candidate for the job.

PTA opposed to Proposition 305

Arizona PTA is the largest child advocacy association in the state, and we are against the statewide expansion of school vouchers and against Proposition 305. We simply do not support the use of public funds for private education.

Special interest groups have tried to make vouchers and school choice synonymous. They are not the same. Arizona’s families have had school choice for years.

ESA vouchers are the removal of public funds and funneled toward private education. Public funds are meant for public schools; not funneled to schools that are not transparent nor held accountable to anyone to allow people who can well afford private education from paying their fair share. Most of these schools don’t have to accept students with special needs and discriminate against students based on race, creed, sexual orientation and more.

Proposition 305 is an initiative that takes desperately needed funds away from our public schools. Arizonans deserve fully funded public schools, quality teachers and curriculum that makes sense.

It robs funding from the choice that 90 percent of Arizonans make to educate their children — public schools. Please join parents, teachers and community members in speaking for every child with one voice and say no on Prop 305.

Vote for leader, independent thinker

LD 21 voters have an opportunity for real change in the upcoming race for State Senate. Kathy Knecht is a proven leader and an independent thinker. Her belief in people over politics is exactly what we need right now. She will welcome input from all sides.

Knecht’s decisions will not be based on what is considered “right” for Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals, red or blue. They will be based on what is right for LD 21 and the state of Arizona, especially on the subject of appropriate and necessary funding for K-12 education.

Her knowledge and expertise with this issue as a Peoria School Board member for 12 years puts her head and shoulders above her opponent, Rick Gray.

Gray’s record on K-12 district funding

is abysmal. Arizona ranks in the top five states for which private school voucher funding has hurt regular K-12 school funding. Gray supports vouchers. He favors the much less accountable charter schools as well, and his stated support for our children’s public education is unsupported by any real indicators. Voting in favor of teacher raises only after 50,000 public school supporters marched on the state Capitol is hardly a stunning example of support. A vote for Gray will result in just more of the same.

Vote for real change. Vote for people over politics. Vote for Kathy Knecht.

Julia Z. Smock

Kathy Knecht for state Senate

The people of this community deserve a representative who shares our values, our vision and who works with our community to achieve a prosperous Arizona.

We deserve a representative who will collaborate with all of the people in our district — who puts the people ahead of any party.

We have this leader with independent Kathy Knecht who is running for state Senate in our district.

Kathy Knecht is not hard to find — she’s at events talking to people in our community daily. From high school football games to candidate debates, Kathy will never turn away an opportunity to meet with the people in her district, nor will she turn away an opportunity to debate her opponent. Her opponent, Rick Gray, didn’t show up to a TV debate with Brahm Resnik.

Knecht supports fully funding public education, bringing transparency to politics, supporting legislation that ensures children and seniors have access to quality healthcare, bringing high-quality jobs to Arizona, taking care of Arizona veterans, keeping government control local and so much more. How do we know where Knecht stands on all of these issues? Because Kathy Knecht is all over our district talking to voters about her vision and her values and accepted invitations to all four debate invitations.

Legislative District 21 had two opportunities to meet the candidates this month. The Clean Citizens Elections Commission hosted a debate on Oct. 4.

The LD 21 candidate forum is scheduled to take place 6:30 p.m. Oct. 15 at Sun City Country Club. Knecht is committed to sharing her views and will be at this event. Gray says he won’t be there; (he did attend the Oct. 4 forum).

We are LD21 constituents who are registered Republican, Democrat and independent.

Hunt a terrific leader

I am writing to respectfully offer my recommendation of Councilmember Vicki Hunt for re-election in Acacia district.

WHAM works extensively with the city of Peoria planning and implementing

October 12, 2018

art events, festivals and art activities for their residents.

I have known Vicki Hunt for more than three years in her district. Her desire is to give her constituents art experiences and to continue advocating the importance of art in peoples’ lives. Hunt, retired teacher, understands how the arts give children and people of all ages the ability to tap into their creative side, therefore relieving stress. She believes in “art for healing” for our veterans.

Hunt is a terrific leader, never asking more of volunteers than she is willing to do herself. I’ve never met a harder worker, spending countless hours on behalf of her communities where others might just give up.

After 15 years of tirelessly working to revitalize Old Town, the fruits of her labor may be in reach. Hunt led the charge to build a community garden, the first in Peoria, on a deserted corner in Old Town that once housed four dangerous shacks.

In doing so, she added an art component, engaging WHAM and Peoria Accelerated High School in the process. Did I mention she loves working with high school kids?

Knowing she didn’t have all the answers for revitalizing Old Town, she created a think tank, a group of highly motivated entrepreneurs who had ideas and plans for bringing this space to life. WHAM was invited to be a member of this group, and along with Hunt’s vision, pushed for Old Town to become an arts district. In so doing, the think tank proposed adding painted planters to the sidewalks to enhance the shop facades. Volunteer artists created 20 planters.

Hunt’s passion and leadership are contagious. And it’s not all about her; she constantly recruits others to get involved and heaps praise where deserved. I see her constantly encouraging others to get involved in making the community a better place.

She is always attending events in her district and throughout Peoria to give herself a first-hand understanding of what is happening in her city.

I consider Hunt a true leader who wants only the best for today and in the future for her Peoria residents. I encourage you to vote for her. We don’t want to lose this abundance of experience and passion in our city.

Community journalism matters because communities matter “Everything in this newspaper is important to someone.”

It’s become something of a mantra for me in recent years.

Weekly community newspapers are eclectic, to say the least.

We publish photos of ribbons being cut at bakeries, and donations being dropped off at local food pantries. We print the school honor roll, the court report and in-depth stories on deci-

GUEST COMMENTARY

Matt Geiger Executive Editor News Publishing Co. Black Earth, Wis. sions made by planning commissions and town boards. Sometimes, we

cover murders, abuse and horrific car crashes, and when we do, our community journalists often experience those tragedies as both reporters and neighbors — as both professionals and human beings. We cover the referendum that will determine whether a new school is built and our readers’ taxes will rise. We publish birth announcements, obituaries and the various things that, when

wedged between those two book ends, make up the lives that make up our communities.

I’ve learned more than I ever wanted to know about sewage in order to cover the approval and construction of a new treatment plant. I interviewed a survivor of the Iran hostage crisis about what it’s like to be held prisoner in a foreign land while the world looks on.

I’ve interviewed grandmothers about their favorite holiday recipes. Perhaps most importantly, I’ve interviewed little kids about what they want to be when they grow up, and what type of world they hope to inhabit.

I’ve even eaten lutefisk — a type of gelatinous Scandinavian fish that is usually only consumed as part of a dare — in the warm hum of a local church’s kitchen. (I even liked it, which I think qualifies

as a kind of small-town gonzo journalism.)

People sometimes ask me why community newspapers are important. My reply is always the same. It’s because everything in those pages is important to someone. Maybe the ribbon cutting isn’t flashy enough to go viral, and the Thanksgiving turkey recipe is not going to change culinary trends across the nation.

But those things, those small things in communities across the county and across the world, are what give meaning and purpose to all of our lives.

The ribbon cutting is the culmination of a childhood dream. The donations at the food pantry will allow a family to gather around their table without worrying if there is enough to fill each plate. The honor roll goes on the fridge, of course, because it’s a reminder to a young student that she can

flourish when she applies herself. The birth announcement marks the proudest, greatest moment of a mother and father’s life together.

The face looking out from the obituary is one that a wife, and children, and grandchildren, will never kiss again. The new school being paid for with the referendum is where a young student might develop an interest in science, growing up and developing a treatment for cancer or Alzheimer’s, allowing millions of people to live a little longer, and have their faces kissed by those who love them a few more times.

Journalism matters, now more than ever, because people matter.

Community journalism matters, now more than ever, because roughly half the world’s population lives in small communities, and in the pages of their newspapers, they see themselves and the ones they love.

Journalism matters because democracy matters An in-depth newspaper investigation revealed that a stateoperated home for aged military veterans was providing sub-standard care and that taxpayer money that was to go to improve the home was spent elsewhere.

The result was the replacement of the state’s veterans secretary and numerous corrections at the home.

Another investigation explored the increase of neighborhood violence and the proliferation of firearms that awakened community groups and law enforcement to explore ways to address the problems and find solutions before it becomes even worse.

Yet another series of newspaper stories documented the impact of stormwater runoff on the area’s highly used lakes, complete with proposals on how the environmental damage can be corrected before pollution becomes even worse.

GUEST COMMENTARY

Dave Zweifel Editor Emeritus The Capital Times Madison, Wis. Governmental agencies and citizens have since come together to act.

Those are recent examples from just one community, Madison, Wis., that are regularly repeated at newspapers, television news outlets and other media throughout the land — all examples of why journalism matters as much today

as it has throughout history.

But it’s not just the investigative pieces that seek to right a wrong.

It’s journalism that chronicles the school board meeting, the arguments about whether a city needs a tax increase, the reasons why a water main needs to be replaced, the achievements of the high school scholars, the heroics or, perhaps, the agonies of the sports team, or the story of a neighborhood volunteer who helps make life better for someone in need.

tion as they intended, there had to be a means to keep tabs on the people’s governments.

They adopted the First Amendment to make sure those governments couldn’t hinder the people’s right to know or silence the opinions that might not please those in power.

Journalism exists to keep the people informed. It exists to spread knowledge and, yes, it exists to provide viewpoints from many different perspectives, to provide the fuel that people in a democracy need to take part in their governments.

“CTE provides students of all ages with the skills, knowledge and training needed to succeed in future careers and to become lifelong learners. In total, about 12.5 million high school and college students are enrolled in CTE across the nation,” said John Mulcahy, assistant superintendent of Adult Education and Professional Development.

Across Arizona, there are more than 70 CTE programs with 328,000 students enrolled. Even with the demand present from students for CTE classes, finding teachers is difficult. One answer is to help industry professionals transition into the classroom. Individuals with three or more years of industry experience can become CTE teachers in their respective fields.

“What we strive to do is work with industry professionals to best pass their knowledge

onto the next generation through lesson planning, classroom management and other teaching-focused training,” Mulcahy said.

West-MEC is holding two informational sessions for those interested in becoming CTE teachers. The sessions cover what it means to be a CTE teacher, how to receive training and job possibilities.

The class is Transitioning to CTE Teaching.

Sessions are held 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Oct. 23 and 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Nov. 5 at START at West-MEC, 5405 N. 99th Ave., Glendale. START is a program in a facility on the WestMEC campus that opened in 2014 that gives workers at local businesses a place to collaborate and help high school students work alongside professionals in high-tech fields.

START is the first West-MEC program to help students transition to careers in software

engineering, marketing and media.

For more information on the sessions, call 623738-0024.

West-MEC is a joint technical education public school district that focuses solely on innovative career and technical education (CTE) programs that prepare students to enter the workforce and pursue continuing education.

West-MEC CTE programs provide students opportunities to earn college credit and industry credentials.

West-MEC serves more than 29,000 students from 46 high schools across 3,600 square miles in the northern and western cities of the Phoenix metropolitan area. West-MEC now also offers adult education programs.

BB King: King of the Blues Recently, I was watching a rerun of my favorite late night television show, “The Tonight Show” with Johnny Carson. The guest that evening was the legendary B.B. King, better known as “King of the Blues.”

B.B. was talking about his most recent album “B.B. King - Live at San Quentin.” They were talking about B.B.’s observations while inside a prison.

LESSONS FROM THE BENCH

What that means to me is that we all make mistakes, but we should learn from them.

The police arrested him and took him to jail, where he was allowed to call his dad.

Flu season has begun

Medical professionals recommend vaccine by end of October

By CARY HINES Assistant Editor Dr. Lavont Cooper at FastMed Urgent Care in Glendale can’t stress enough the importance of getting a flu shot.

“A lot of people are afraid to bring in their kids that are 6 months because they’re feeling that this is a foreign body that’s being put in their child’s body; however, less than 5 years old really needs it,” Cooper said. “And of course, the 65-and-older and high-risk population really need to get in this month because it’s Oct. 1 already.”

Flu season is most active from October to February, but can run even later, Cooper said.

“It’s best to get a flu vaccination this month, because December, and up to February, and sometimes even in May, people get the flu, so it’s really important to do it now,” Cooper said.

FastMed received its stockpile of the vaccine about a month ago, he said.

The vaccine isn’t 100 percent effective at preventing the flu, but “about 90 percent of people who don’t get the flu shot end up with symptoms, and about 50 percent who do get the flu shot don’t have the symptoms,” Cooper said, adding the medical community saw an increase in deaths last year of people who did

A flu shot is the best defense against contracting the illness, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The vaccine should be administered to anyone 6 months and older by the end of this month, as flu season typically begins in October and runs through February.

not get the flu shot.

The Centers for Disease Control classified 2017-18 a high severity season, according to www.cdc.gov.

While estimates for last season aren’t yet available, the CDC estimates it to be record-breaking in hospitalizations and deaths.

“It’s not possible to predict how severe the upcoming season will be, but we know that the best way to prevent flu and its potentially serious complications is a flu vaccine,” the website states. “It’s best to get vaccinated before flu begins spreading in your community. It takes about two weeks after vaccination for your body to develop protection against flu. This flu season, protect

BLUES: From 8 He told his dad that he had been arrested for speeding and needed $35 to get out of jail. His dad asked him if he was OK. BB told his dad that he was fine.

His dad said, “Then I will see you tomorrow” and hung up the phone.

The earlier in life that we, as parents, teach our children there are consequences to one’s actions, the better off they will be. B.B. had the entire night to think about the consequences of his actions of driving too fast. Interesting enough, he was never again arrested for speeding.

I often wonder if we are truly helping our children by giving them a trophy for everything they do. At some point in life, they will have to learn to stand on their own two feet and accept the consequences or rewards of their action or inaction. I believe that is what B.B.’s dad wanted to teach him.

Apparently, B.B.’s dad taught him many other values, such as being responsible and working hard.

When B.B. died in 2005, because of his hard work, the estate he left his family was approximately $30 million. He built that by working hard and taking responsibility for his actions.

yourself, your family, your friends, and your community. Get a flu vaccine by the end of October.”

The most common side effects from a flu shot are soreness, redness and/or swelling where the shot was given, fever, and/or muscle aches, the CDC website states, adding those side effects are not the flu and are usually mild and short-lived.

Aside from getting the flu vaccine, Cooper said the most important thing people can do to prevent the illness is to wash their hands.

“Second is to cover your mouth when you’re coughing and sneezing,” he said,

adding people should always cough or sneeze into a tissue.

“But mostly, it’s disinfecting and keeping your environment clean when you know someone may have the flu,” he said.

Symptoms of the flu include fever, body aches, chills, fatigue, and often, headaches, Cooper said.

And unlike the common cold, the onset of flu symptoms is very abrupt.

Anyone who suspects he may have the flu is advised to see a provider immediately so that he may be assessed, and if determined to have the flu, started on a course of antibiotics, such as Tamiflu, Cooper said.

Peoria native uses music to spread God’s message 1 of 10 artists featured on Grand Canyon University’s new album

By KATY SPRINGER Special to peoria timeS Peoria native Katie Brown has a passion for music and God. Her songs are not only a way for her to express her faith, but also spread the gospel to others.

Brown is one of 10 artists featured on Canyon Worship 2018, Grand Canyon University’s new album reflecting the Christian movement of the modern era.

The album was produced entirely in the university’s Center for Worship Arts’ state-of-theart recording studio with help from industry veterans Billy Smiley, formerly of Whiteheart and The Gaithers, and

Geoff Hunker of Satellites and Sirens.

This is the third Canyon Worship album, and Eric Johnson, manager of the Center’s recording studio, said it is the best one yet.

“Last year’s album was so good that, coming into this project, I actually was a little bit concerned that we may not be able to bring it up to that level,” he said.

“But I think we hit the mark and maybe even passed it a little bit because we’re shifting the focus to the corporate worship side.”

Brown said she likes that the music appeals to congregational worship.

“There’s a lot of variety within the artists, and so it’s still not one specific genre, but all the songs have the possibility that they

Katie Brown of Peoria is one of 10 artists featured on Grand Canyon University’s new album

could be performed in church,” she said.

Goes Before, which Brown wrote and performs, is one of those songs.

GCU’s Worship Arts program was established in 2015 to give

emerging artists such as Brown a place to hone their skills, combining classes in both ministry and performance. The goal is to ensure that students are not just creating and leading great music, but that they are also grounded in

Christ and prepared to become worship leaders in churches and other faith-based settings throughout the world.

A senior, Brown has set her sights on opening a music school for foster children after she graduates. Until then, she is singing her way through her studies and taking her talents to the community.

On Oct. 16, she and other GCU student artists will perform songs from the new album at a 90-minute Night of Worship at Harvest Bible Chapel West Valley, 9700 N. 91st Ave. The program will begin at 6:30 p.m.

For details, visit www.harvestwestvalley.org.

The music from the album can be purchased for $9.99 on iTunes, Google Play, Spotify and Shazam and in the Ope Shop and other locations on GCU’s west Phoenix campus.

Peoria Police, FBI catch 1 bank robbery suspect 2nd suspect still at large

Detectives from the Peoria Police Department Major Crimes Unit and Investigators from the FBI’s Violent Crime Task Force arrested Charles Ross, a 28-year-old Peoria resident, Sept. 28 for his alleged participation in three bank robberies that occurred in Peoria and Sun City in August and September.

On Aug. 21, Ross allegedly entered the BBVA Compass Bank at 13950 N. 75th Ave. in Peoria and handed the teller a robbery demand note indicating he was armed. The teller reportedly gave Ross a known amount of money. Ross allegedly fled the bank on a bicycle, which was recovered in a nearby residential neighborhood.

At approximately 8:45 a.m. Sept. 25, Ross allegedly entered the Wells Fargo Bank at 10700 W. Bell Road in Sun City and gave a teller a robbery demand note indicating he was armed. Ross allegedly left the bank after receiving no money and was observed riding a bicycle from the scene.

At about 9:15 a.m. that same day, Ross allegedly entered the TCF Bank at 7570 W. Cactus Road in Peoria and gave a robbery demand note to the teller, indicating he had a weapon. Ross allegedly received a known amount of money and left the bank, again riding a bicycle.

Jevon Mason

Through a collaborative effort between the Peoria Police Department and the FBI, Ross was identified and taken into custody without incident in the area of 7900 W. Peoria Ave., police said.

Based on further investigation and review of area surveillance footage, a second suspect was identified as participating in the two Sept. 25 robberies.

Peoria Police detectives and investigators from the FBI’s Violent Crime Task Force identified Jevon T. Mason, a 43-year-old Surprise resident, as being the getaway driver in both incidents, police said.

Mason is known to be driving a tan colored, 2000 Ford F-150 pick-up truck with Arizona license plate No. 865-LSP. Mason is also wanted for an ongoing forgery investigation being conducted by the Peoria Police Department, police said.

The Peoria Police Department is asking anyone with information regarding the case or whereabouts of Mason and/or the 2000 Ford F150 pick-up truck to call the Peoria Police Department at 623-773-8311 or Silent Witness at 480-WITNESS.

2 accused of selling illegal drugs Phoenix police arrested two men in Peoria Sept. 26 who are accused of selling illegal male enhancement drugs.

Police arrested 53-year-old Kevin Reilly and 68-yearold Robert Duane Gregory after they allegedly sold pills made in India containing Sildenafil Citrate, the primary ingredient used in Viagra.

Reilly allegedly marketed the medicine as “male enhancement/erectile dysfunction pills,” calling them “Blue Diamonds.” Undercover officers conducted sev-

eral buys in Tempe and officers had the pills tested with authorities with Pfizer, the maker of Viagra, confirming the pills were counterfeit.

Police said Viagra must be purchased with a prescription.

Police said the value of the drugs seized is about $10,000.

Police release sex offender notices The Peoria Police Department is releasing the following information pursuant to ARS 133825, the Community Notification on Sex Offenders Law, which requires law enforcement agencies to inform the public when the release of information will enJames Monko Jr. hance public safety and protection.

The individuals who appear on this notification have been convicted of a sex offense, which allows for community notification and requires registration with the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.

The offenders have served the sentence imposed by the courts and have advised the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office that they will be living at the locations listed. The offenders are not wanted by the Peoria Police Department at this time.

The notification is not intended to increase fear; rather, it is the police department’s belief that an informed public is a safer public.

It is a violation of ARS 13-1202 to use the information to threaten, intimidate or harass sex offenders. People who violate the law will be subject to prosecution.

Joan Scheller lives with the love of her life, Sandy. To hide their relationship from her overbearing sister-in-law, former movie star Olivia St. Claire, she introduces him as her psychiatrist.

One white lie leads to another. Before long, Vinny the Enforcer, a quintessential Italian mobster, masquerades as her security guard, while her brother, Chris, is forced to wear a dress and become her daughter, Christina. Then, her new neighbor, Rachael, creates chaos and confusion wherever she goes.

Everyone wants a session with the psychiatrist. Olivia wants to discuss her love life, Rachael wants to know why she’s such a disaster and Vinny wants to discuss his work as an enforcer.

Sandy is forced to listen and give misguided advice, which, to everyone’s

surprise, seems to work. But what about love?

There’s Joan and Sandy, if they can survive Joan’s lies. Then there’s Rachael, who is strongly attracted to Chris, if he can survive her mayhem. Finally, there’s Olivia, who hires Vinny away from the mob.

OBITUARY

100 Years Anniversary Celebration

Richard F. Felicetti

Dr. Richard F. Felicetti passed away Sept. 27, 2018, with his wife, Sharon, at his bedside. Mr. Felicetti is survived by his wife; his daughter, Jane (Bob); four grandchildren, Josh (Kyla), Jillian, Sarah and Jake; great-grandchildren, Jase and Blakely; and brothers, Ray (Gloria) and Gary. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Julie; his parents, Teresa and Fred; and older brother, Emil.

After two years of military service, Mr. Felicetti continued his professional career in education. He was a teacher, a principal at three levels: grade school, junior high school and high school in Elgin School District U-46. He also served as a director of a Head Start Program in Elgin. He was the superintendent of School District 170 in Chicago Heights. At that time, he was also an adjunct professor at Governors State University.

He completed his professional career as superintendent of Bloom High School District 206, the high school district that he graduated from in 1951.

After retirement, he was co-director of the Bloom High School Archives for many years and retired from that position in 2010. If one should visit Bloom High School, the archives are named after him, an honor he was very proud of. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Northern Illinois University and his Ph.D from Walden University.

He had a lifelong hobby of collecting campaign material, especially presidential campaign buttons. During his retirement years, he visited all the deceased presidential gravesites. That inspired him to write a book, “Regardless, They Were the Presidents of the United States.”

He loved spending time with his family and traveling. He made many trips to Italy, especially the hometown where his parents were born, San Benedetto Del Tronto, Marche, Italy. He was a proud member of the Marchegiana Society of Chicago Heights.

Private services were held in Peoria. Condolences may be shared at www. menkefuneralhome.com.

DELPH: From 18 them, they are there for the city. As a mayor, the city must not be used as a means to his or her egodriven end or agenda.

Politicians should understand there are two areas they need to be aware of. There are areas of influence and areas of interest. Let’s say one is a representative. They are called to represent the people in their constituency. That is an area of influence. You represent your area. But there are also areas of interest. Areas of interest are issues that affect your area of influence. For example, the economy affects everyone is your area of influence.

Most politicians are so focused on their area of influence, they disregard important and necessary of interest. The more focused you are, the less aware you become. That

You Are Invited

can ruin a nation.

Let me ask you a question. Why couldn’t all the king’s horses and all the king’s men put Humpty Dumpty back together again? Perhaps it’s because they didn’t ask the king. Let’s get a little wisdom from the king on putting our communities, cities and nation back together again.

Maybe it’s time to start looking for leaders and leadership like David rather than having an emotion-based popularity contest based on who raised the most money to run negative commercials against the other candidate. The purpose of negative ads is to get people hating the other candidate. It activates their base. Why? You don’t think when you hate. You emote.

Throwing mud is just

losing ground. It’s not good leadership, either.

The following item(s) will be heard at the Public Hearing: GPA 18-0002 Circulation Map Update A city-initiated major amendment to the General Plan to update the Circulation Map within Chapter 3: Circulation Element. Proposed changes include road classification changes, road additions and deletions, and alignment adjustments to better reflect existing conditions and future needs of the City, and to maintain a document that is current with local and regional planning efforts.

GPA 18-0003 Land Use Map Update A city-initiated major amendment to the General Plan to update the Land Use Map within Chapter 2: Land Use Element. For this amendment, the City is proposing city-wide land use map amendments. There are a number of instances where the Land Use Map does not accurately reflect the existing land uses occurring on the property. The proposed changes to the Land Use Map will better reflect existing conditions and appropriate future designations. Additionally, there are two property owner requests to change associated land use categories on their respective properties, which are generally in the vicinity of the Vistancia master planned community and 83rd Avenue and Butler Drive.

GPA 18-0004 Land Use Element and Plan Administration Text Updates A city-initiated major amendment to the General Plan. This request consists of text amendments to Chapter 2: Land Use Element and Chapter 14: Plan Administration within the General Plan as described in more detail below: 1) Modifications to the Land Use Element include refinement of certain land use category descriptions to better position the General Plan for the larger comprehensive update occurring in 2019. For example, this amendment proposes to formally recognize waterways as a separate land use category, which allows better recognition and preservation of these areas.

2) Modifications to the Plan Administration Element are intended to further define and clarify the major/minor amendment criteria within Section 14.G. Classifying General Plan Amendments.

Further information related to these requests or the Public Hearings may be obtained from the Planning Division of the Planning & Community Development Department, 9875 N. 85th Avenue, Peoria, Arizona 85345, or by calling the Planning Division at 623-773-7200.

Kabuki Sushi & Grill receives Peoria mayor’s award

Photo courtesy city of Peoria

Mayor Cathy Carlat is flanked by Kabuki Sushi & Grill owners David Shin and Simon Vu, as she names their business Restaurant of the Month for September.

Mayor Cathy Carlat has awarded Kabuki Sushi & Grill as the Mayor’s Restaurant of the Month for September 2018.

Located at the northwest corner of 83rd Avenue and Thunderbird Road, Kabuki Sushi & Grill has been serving up a diverse menu of sushi and Japanese cuisine to the Peoria community for more than 12 years.

True to their namesake, Kabuki — an expressive form of Japanese theater — owners David Shin and Simon Vu have

crafted a creative, lively and artistic menu to combine unique flavors.

Entertainment is the name of the game for Shin, who moves between the dual life of Peoria restaurateur and that of a Hollywood movie producer. Lining the back wall is a portrait gallery of actors and professional athletes who have made Kabuki their go-to restaurant for local sushi fare.

Their sushi bar is generously sized, allowing guests to watch Kabuki’s professionally trained chefs create individual

works of art — chosen from a menu that highlights more than 50 types of sushi, including the popular Phoenix roll.

Known for their fresh menu and excellent service, Shin and Vu have amassed a large following of dedicated patrons. They know their customers by name and are proud community supporters, illustrated by several youth team photos that welcome guests at the front door.
