Peoria teachers see their wishes granted BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Although Thanksgiving is technically celebrated on Nov. 25 this year, 400 Arizona teachers — including more than 60 in the West Valley — feted it early. During the first days of November, in what has become an annual tradition to honor, support and celebrate Arizona’s teachers, the Fiesta Bowl Organization awarded $1 million to teachers through the Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Charities Wishes for Teachers program. “They may not wear capes, but teachers are real-life superheroes. They give tirelessly to their students and Wishes for Teachers is our opportunity to reward them for their efforts,” said Jeff Meshey, president and CEO at Desert Financial. “Desert Financial was founded by teachers — we continue their legacy by returning as the title partner for this year’s Wishes for Teachers, in partnership with Fiesta Bowl Charities. Teachers often pay for school supplies out of their own pockets, so there’s no greater way to express our gratitude SEE FIESTA PAGE 3

than by granting their classroom wishes.” Through a three-day Virtual Draft Day presented by Salt River Project (SRP), 400 teachers from K-12 schools were each given $2,500 to grant a wish in their classrooms. The winners were chosen based on a program in the fall wherein any Arizona K-12 teacher was able to fill out an online application detailing a school or classroom need. The wishes were then verified and selected by random drawing for teachers to receive a grant. Over the six years of the program, Fiesta Bowl Wishes for Teachers has granted $4.7 million to more than 1,200 Arizona teachers, impacting more than 500,000 children across the state. “I love Desert Financial Fiesta Bowl Charities Draft Day presented by SRP, it is so exciting when we call each teacher to let them know their name was selected as a grant recipient,” said Patrick Barkley, chairman of the FiesBecome a Published Author with Dorrance.

ta Bowl Board of Directors. “Wishes for Teachers is well-known around the state as the preeminent program for teacher support. My mom was a teacher, and we all know teachers who inspire us with their selfless work.” This year, the 400 teachers represent 300 schools in 63 cities across the state, teaching more than 200,000 students in 84 districts over 75 subjects, from social studies to special education, literature to leadership, music to math. Through the program, here is just a sampling of classroom wishes being granted: Jeffrey Malone, a music teacher at Peoria High School, will purchase new instrument mouthpieces for the music ensemble. Allison Griesel, a kindergarten to fourth-grade general music teacher and fifth- to eighth-grade choir teacher at Vistancia Elementary School, will purchase new instruments and build a music library for the students.
Brigitte Beaudoin, a second-grade teacher at West Wing School, will purchase new science materials to support student learning. Paige Hays, a second-grade teacher at Sundance Elementary School, will purchase bookshelves and additional furniture for the classroom. “Teachers are our unsung heroes, who give so much to our students in helping them become tomorrow’s leaders.

Peoria police involved in shooting BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Two Peoria police officers were involved in a shooting at 2 a.m. on Nov. 18 after a call about a wrong-way driver at 8300 W. Peoria Avenue came into dispatch a half hour earlier, according to Sgt. Brandon Sheffert, spokesman. The caller said the black truck was traveling west in the eastbound lanes and almost hit their vehicle. Officers attempted to stop the vehicle, but it would not pull over. Officers did not pursue the vehicle but remained in the area, Sheffert said. A half hour later, Peoria dispatch

Provide feedback on proposed redistricting maps
The city of Peoria is halfway through the redistricting process, which began after the 2020 census count was complete. Five qualifying, proposed maps were selected from 39 submitted by the public. Now, the city is asking for the public’s feedback on these maps by Friday, Dec. 3. The Peoria City Council adoption of the new council districts is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 14. Public comments may be submitted on an input form at the open house meetings, online or via e-mail to redistricting@ peoriaaz.gov by Dec. 3. To learn more about the redistricting process, open house meetings or proposed maps, visit peoriaaz.gov/redistricting.
City facilities close for Thanksgiving

received a second call stating that the same black truck was driving recklessly in the area and running red lights. The caller advised that the vehicle was in the gas station parking lot at 7500 W. Peoria Avenue and was repeatedly backing into the protective barriers around the propane tank, Sheffert said. When the first officer arrived on scene, he gave the driver commands through the vehicle PA system. The driver then took off and while driving through the parking lot almost struck the officer’s vehicle. The suspect then ran his vehicle head on into an officer’s vehicle and
it became stuck on a parking divider. While officers were attempting to contact the suspect, he quickly accelerated from the parking divider. Officers were at the driver and passenger doors of the vehicle when this occurred. The suspect crashed into the front of a police vehicle, pushing it more than 30 feet, Sheffert said. Two officers fired at the suspect, striking him in the leg. Officers were able to take the suspect into custody. The 30-year-old suspect, whose name has not been released, sustained nonlife-threatening injuries and no officers were injured.
Each officer fired at least one round, striking the suspect, Sheffert said. Officers and fire-medical personnel provided medical aid to the suspect, and he was later transported to the hospital. No officers or innocent bystanders were injured during this incident. This information is preliminary as the investigation is ongoing. Officers involved in this incident had body-worn cameras, and the incident was captured on video. This investigation was turned over to detectives from the Buckeye Police Department as part of the West Valley Investigative Response Team. PT

Cooking a turkey overnight is not recommended. • Check your smoke detectors and batteries. • Those frying a turkey should make sure it is completely thawed and dry before placing in a fryer.

AROUND THE BLUHMIN’ TOWN
Spend one day being thankful toward othBY JUDY BLUHM Peoria Times Columnist
It seems we are all thankful for the ability to get together this year. Last year we had to cope with words like “social distancing” and “nuclear family gatherings,” with suggestions of holding dinner outdoors. Well, good riddance to 2020. The good news is that about 50 million Americans are traveling this week. Time to break out the china and celebrate this Thanksgiving the way we want to, with plenty of food and loved ones close by. Still, our hearts will go out to the many families who will set one less dinner plate at the table this year. What are you eating on Thanksgiving? Let me guess. Probably a big bird.
We Americans love our turkey dinner. Did you know that 1 million people will call the Butterball Turkey Talk Line around the holidays? From anxious first-time cooks to experienced chefs, it seems every now and then, it helps to “talk turkey” with an expert. There are 50 “turkey experts” standing by to advise people on how to safely thaw out the bird (no, do not put it in a bathtub) or how to speed up the cooking process when you forgot to turn the oven on (impossible to do). Oh, and those hot oil turkey fryers? Get your fire extinguisher handy because they can burn the house down. Be careful. Cooking can be dangerous. Gee, if a million folks a year have been calling into a hotline about cooking turkeys for the past 35 years, it tells me that something is way too complicated. Maybe the only reason we eat turkey is because it is big enough to feed a crowd, even if we don’t neces-

sarily like it. Uh oh, now the emails will be flying my way. Honestly, I love traditions, yet how many times a year do people actually make turkey dinners? Ha! Once. Probably the pilgrims didn’t worry much about cooking turkeys. They got on a ship, off to place unknown, unsettled, with only hopes of a better life. One hundred men, women and children spent 66 days crossing the Atlantic to come to a “new world,” overcoming harsh weather, sickness and fear. There were Native people, strange foods, no way back home, and yet in 1621 a group of brave and weary souls joined the Wampanoag tribe for a feast to “give thanks.” Fast forward to 2021. Many stores will be open on Thursday and folks might start their Christmas shopping. Hmm, maybe Thanksgiving will be-
come one big “early bird special.” Which would be a shame because it is the day that symbolizes the pure spirit of giving thanks. In many ways, Thanksgiving might be the greatest holiday of all. No gift giving to commercialize it, no one religion to limit it, no elf to trivialize it. If you are sitting across the table from children or grandkids who look, think, talk and act in ways you might find “difficult” to understand, remember the pilgrims.

OPINION
Politics and the projection room
CORRECTION
members of the House who sit on the left side of the aisle and hope to hang on to their seats in the 2022 midterm elections. Facing electoral extinction, what’s a leftist to do? If you answered, “projection,” you may one day find work as a political columnist. Under the guise of oversight, Democrat Reps. Carolyn Maloney of New York and Ro Khanna of California recently held a hearing titled “Fueling the Climate Crisis: Exposing Big Oil’s Disinformation Campaign.” While that title isn’t as catchy as “Jaws” or “All the President’s Men,” this Democrat duo hopes to evade the jaws of defeat, having ignored the actions of “The Biden Bunch,” but impugned energy companies. Rep. Maloney, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, made it clear she would overlook any cogent responses offered by the energy executives “invited” to testify, as in her scripted remarks she claimed that those executives were obviously lying. Chairman Maloney chose to define differences of opinion as devious deceptions — even when some who testified agreed that there is, in fact, climate change — but not to the apocalyptic degree enshrined in Democrat dogma. One glaring omission in this “oversight” hearing was obviously a deliberate oversight: the extent to which energy dollars have fueled the campaigns of Rep. Maloney and the personal fortune of her partner in “protection through projection,” Rep. Khanna. Nonpartisan campaign finance watchdogs have documented that the New York congresswoman has taken campaign contributions totaling over $100,000 from the energy industry — including $12,000 from oil and gas interests for next year’s midterms — even after signing a “no fossil fuel” pledge in the last election cycle. In attempting to publicly shame energy executives, Rep. Maloney believes it will deflect attention from her oil-soaked campaign coffers, which, at one point, had her ranked ninth among all 435 House
The opinion piece by JD Hayworth headlined “Political ‘pressure’ demeans Trump” in the Oct. 21 issue of the Peoria Times, included the following paragraphs: “Then, on election night, the unthinkable happened: Donald John Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States. Not only did the alphabet networks have trouble minding their p’s and q’s, but the taxpayer-financed Voice of America (VOA) dissolved into the tears of a clown. Radio/TV insiders relayed a revealing tale from deep inside the broadcast bureaucracy. Amanda Bennett, then the VOA director, ordered the production of a celebratory documentary, ‘America’s First Woman President,’ to be aired once the votes were counted and the inevitable had occurred. When the inevitable yielded to the improbable, Bennett cried and other staffers scrambled, scurrying to fill the gap with somber live coverage that supplanted the joyous pre-produced, planned programming.” In a statement to the Peoria Times, VOA confirmed no such documentary was ever requested by VOA leadership. Additionally, former VOA Director Amanda Bennett was in the presence of many other VOA staff members and was never witnessed crying on Election Night 2016. “As it does for every U.S. presidential election, VOA produced accurate, objective, and comprehensive coverage of Election Night 2016 for its global audience,” said Yolanda Lopez, acting VOA director. “VOA and its journalists are dedicated to the integrity of its programming and its commitment to be a consistently reliable and authoritative source of news — as stated in its charter.” PT

What is the strongest combination in film’s history? Not Tracy and Hepburn. Nor Bogart and Bacall. Not even Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. Nope, the combination that’s tighter than popcorn and hot butter is Hollywood and the American left. The closeness between Tinseltown’s “creative community” and the political causes supported therein can be found in the plot lines of major motion pictures and television shows, the high-dollar donations lavished on Democrat candidates, and the sheer “star power” that energizes campaigns when a candidate’s charisma is in short supply. Hollywood has even contributed one of its terms from the film industry lexicon: projection. Production runs its course on location and the sound stage; projection is the “perpetual process,” so vital to the movie biz. Whether in a theater, at a drive-in or via video, films depend on projection for viewing and, ultimately, for revenue. But in “Hollywood for the cosmetically challenged” — the place we commonly call Washington, D.C. — politics provides a different meaning for “projection.” In a recent column, Victor Davis Hanson describes it as “the psycho-political syndrome of attributing all of one’s own sins to one’s opponents.” Examples abound. One of the most vexing problems we face as a nation is now called “Bidenflation.” In less than one year, Ol’ Joe and his crew have triggered an inflationary spiral by clamping down on energy production, shutting down domestic pipelines, and imposing even more excessive regulation on the oil and gas industry. As prices at the pump — and the grocery store — have soared, Democrat poll numbers have tanked. That reality becomes increasingly problematic for
members — Democrats and Republicans alike. Rep. Khanna obviously believed that he took his “star turn” during the hearing when he demanded that oil executives commit to an “independent audit to verify that none of (their) funds are going to climate denial.” Sad to say, the California congressman is experiencing his own “economic climate denial,” because he never speaks publicly about the energy investments found in his family’s ample portfolio. Newsweek recently reported that Mr. Khanna’s family purchased between $30,000 and $100,000 in stock from Chevron and ExxonMobil. That same report states that they also purchased $3,003 to $45,000 worth of shares in natural gas companies ConocoPhillips, Dominion Energy and Duke Energy. Those revelations, required by law in annual economic disclosure statements, have put Rep. Khanna on the defensive, but, still, he’s in denial. How else to explain that oil and gas have made up as much as $1.6 million of assets in his fortune? He now claims he’s divesting from the fossil fuel industry, but his recent campaign reports record over $11,000 in oil contributions for the current cycle. No one is claiming that either member of this Democrat duo is laundering funds. We’re just pointing out that they’re both stuck in a permanent “spin cycle.” And, when they need a break from hanging out their political wash, they will no doubt opt for a movie. Perhaps they’ll next choose to screen “The Candidate,” starring perennial Democrat donor Robert Redford, and released in 1972 — the same year a 29-year-old Joe Biden was elected to the Senate. Whatever film they watch, Reps. Maloney and Khanna can take turns running the projector. PT J.D. Hayworth worked as a sportscaster at Channel 10, Phoenix, from 1987 until 1994 and represented Arizona in Congress from 1995-2007.

OPINION

November 25, 2021
Taking ownership for your own words BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist
In my first newspaper job 30 years ago, I worked for higher-ups who were, to put it mildly, cretins. One boss, dead now, stood out for his screaming, insults, and the glee he took in being outrageously offensive. Part of my job was taking part in afternoon news meetings, where this Head Honcho presided over a discussion about what would make tomorrow’s Page One. In one such meeting the focus turned to a homicide committed in a poor part of the city. The Big Boss had a question. “What persuasion” was the dead man? Informed the victim was Black, he uttered a word I’ll never forget.
“Next.” The killing was buried deep inside the paper. We all left disgusted by where we worked and for whom. But nobody objected. I didn’t say a word. Maybe because this was the 1990s, or because I was a coward, new to the job and afraid to be fired. Regardless, I am ashamed to retell the story in print. I do so because, to hear ESPN tell it, working for the Phoenix Suns under owner Robert Sarver may be a lot like working for that despot — a bully, a misogynist, a racist. These are charges Sarver has denied through his attorneys, including in a lengthy denial released weeks before ESPN published its Nov. 4 story, written by senior writer Baxter Holmes. Holmes’ piece accuses Sarver of frequently using the N-word, including in the presence of Black employees
like then-coach Earl Watson. Holmes says he interviewed more than 70 former and current Suns employees, including executives and at least one co-owner. The story describes “a toxic and sometimes hostile workplace” during Sarver’s 17 years owning the Suns. Sarver’s denials have been emphatic. “I’ve never called anyone or any group of people the N-word, or referred to anyone or any group of people by the N-word, either verbally or in writing,” he said through his lawyers. “I don’t use that word. It is abhorrent and ugly and denigrating and against everything I believe in.” The NBA has hired law firm Wachtell Lipton to investigate the charges. Media reports indicate the investigators have offered team employees confidentiality in exchange for their partic-
ipation in the investigation. That confidentiality bothers me, as does the confidentiality granted by ESPN to virtually every accuser in the story, essentially everyone quoted with the exception of Earl Watson, who Sarver fired only three games into the 2017 season, after a 48-point defeat that ranks as the worst opening night loss in NBA history. After three decades writing news, I understand the desire of sources to stay anonymous. But Holmes’ 70 interviewees are not risking their safety or lives in calling out Sarver. The former employees may be risking some career impact. The current Suns employees? They’d be risking a job they might be better off leaving, given the workplace they’ve described. SEE WORDS PAGE 13

WORDS FROM PAGE 12
Had ESPN’s sources used their names, they very well might have been hailed as heroes. In 2021, in the more supportive culture of whistleblowing that exists today, I’d say the chances were 50-50. Regardless, we will never know. Criticizing their anonymity is easy for me to do. It even brands me a hypocrite. After all, I didn’t have the fortitude to confront a bully when I had the chance, even anonymously. I’m still ashamed by that failure. I’ve never been a Sarver fan, so denigrating those who have attacked him feels uncomfortable. But I have come to feel strongly about speaking truth to power. Holmes’ story is thorough, but its rampant anonymity leads me to wonder how much of it is gospel truth. I think it’s better to put your name on the things you say. Every last word. PT

QC Kinetix franchise expands into Peoria BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF More than 20% of adults have had chronic pain in the past three months and surgery is one of the most common treatments for injuries. As an alternative to surgery and long recovery times, QC Kinetix, the country’s leading regenerative medicine franchise group, is expanding to Arizona with four locations in Phoenix, Peoria, Scottsdale and Chandler. The company specializes in using natural biologic therapies to repair or heal damaged tissues and joints instead of relying on steroids, surgery and pain medications. In August, Inc. magazine revealed that QC Kinetix is No. 62 on its annual Inc. 5000 list. The Arizona fran-
chise is owned by entrepreneur, Adam Lunceford, who brought on board a team of doctors and medical professionals to bring healing to the Valley’s residents in a unique way. “Chronic pain, limited mobility and addictive pain medication take huge physical and emotional tolls on the body,” Lunceford said. “Our goal is to provide alternative relief to patients who are told that invasive surgery is their best option or are unable to effectively manage pain and immobility.” QC Kinetix operates under four pillars: QC Knee, specializing in knee pain, popping and pain due to injuries such as torn ACL, MCL, LCL and meniscus; QC Injury, focusing on acute sports related and musculoskeletal in-
juries and joint pain; QC 2M, for joint pain due to arthritis in the knees, shoulder, ankle, wrist, feet, hands, elbow and lower back; and QC Medical, for nonsports related musculoskeletal pain. In May, QC Kinetix announced a partnership with pro football legend, Emmit Smith. Between injuries on the field and the impact of being a life-long athlete, Smith joined the company as a spokesperson who has firsthand knowledge of the benefits that using QC Kinetix’s state-of-the-art treatments and the impact that trusting the body’s own healing can have on an individual’s quality of life. “During my 15 seasons in the NFL and then transitioning to my very active life after football, taking care of my

body and joints has always been a primary focus for me,” Smith said. “When I think about the longevity of my joints, it all starts with what I do today. QC Kinetix provides several different therapies that are state-of-the-art, cutting-edge treatments, which complement and promote the body’s natural healing process so well. It’s always exciting to partner with a company when you’ve experienced first-hand the quality and effectiveness of their products.” QC Kinetix’s metro Phoenix locations are open and seeing patient, including Peoria at 13128 N. 94th Drove, Peoria.

NASCAR ready to debut ‘Next Gen’ car BY NICK ZELLER-SINGH Cronkite News
After Kyle Larson stole the show at Phoenix Raceway with his NASCAR Cup Series championship, another storyline quickly emerged. The race in Phoenix marked the last time that NASCAR will field the Generation 6 car, which made its debut clear back in 2013. It didn’t go unnoticed by many in the racing community, which will see NASCAR’s “Next Gen” car make its debut next season. “The last race hit home for me, and I think it did for a lot of folks,” said Cliff Daniels, crew chief for Hendricks Motorsports. “To see those guys on the shop

floor, sending their best wishes to their final true piece of art, it’s a big deal.” However, Jim Campbell, who is vice president of performance and motorsports at General Motors and Chevrolet’s NASCAR manufacturer, believes
it’s important to move forward. “In the automobile business, you do two things,” Campbell said. “You sell what you have in the showroom today while you prepare the next model for the showroom tomorrow.”
The Next Gen car is designed to reduce operating costs, potentially allowing more existing teams to compete and possibly attracting new teams. It also will more accurately depict the production cars that the race cars are based upon. The Gen-6 cars were constructed of sheet metal, and typically required significant repairs when a car hit the wall or made hard contact with another car. The more adaptable Next Gen cars will be constructed with plastic and carbon-fiber panels designed to be safer and more easily replaced, making them more affordable by limiting the conseSEE NASCAR PAGE 20

quences when collisions occur. The slightly shorter but wider Next Gen cars also utilize 18-inch tires rather than the 15-inch tires of the previous generation, again giving the car a more modern, familiar look. The new cars also incorporate more modern technology such as independent rear suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, which provide for a wider range of adjustments for different tracks and road courses. A single manufacturer will provide the steel-tube frame for the Next Gen car’s chassis to all teams, with substructures that are bolted onto it — again designed to lower costs by making the cars, and repairing them, more affordable.

NASCAR’s power specifications for the Ford, Chevy and Toyota engines in the cars will remain the same. “I’ve only made a handful of laps in it on a road course,” said Larson, who dominated the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series and wrapped up the championship in Phoenix. “In the laps that I ran around the road course, it has way more grip, better tires, brakes, and can carry more top speed in the corners.” Lastly, Next Gen’s build is a cheaper, one-dimensional car, providing an opportunity for new manufacturers to jump into the NASCAR scene. And it is designed to make NASCAR drivers prove their skill on the track even more than before. Still, after a great run with Gen-6 cars, some in the racing community worry about what the next generation of cars will bring. “I’m afraid it is going to be like the iRock series,” said Michael Bergmann, a fan at the NASCAR Cup Series race in Phoenix. “I’m afraid it will be the same over and over and

nobody can pass anybody. It should be run what you brought and hope you brought enough. And if you don’t bring enough, you lose.” NASCAR Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin had similar thoughts on the Next Gen cars, but he is counting on his Toyota No. 11 team to figure it out. “We don’t know what to expect,” Hamlin said. “I think it’s going to be like the Car of Tomorrow.” Even though uncertainty looms over the new generation of racecars, experienced NASCAR drivers and their teams are likely to adapt quickly. “Everyone is so good in the Cup Series that you can throw any package at us and we will all get up to speed very quickly,” Larson said. The Next Gen series makes its debut on Feb. 17 at Daytona Speedway. The cars will make their debut at Phoenix Raceway on March 13 in the Ruoff Mortgage 500.

‘Copycat’ Eagles tribute musicians are lifelong fans BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor
John Waxman is a fan of the Eagles for two primary reasons: harmonies and guitar work. Waxman has the rare opportunity to pay tribute to his heroes with the act One of These Nights, who plays the Arizona Broadway Theatre on Monday, Nov. 29. “The Eagles are a band that we’ve all followed for years,” said Waxman, who performs guitarist Joe Walsh’s parts. “I’m older than some of my bandmates. I’m from the Bay Area. I saw them in the early ’70s and Billy Joel was opening for them. “I’ve seen the transformations of the different members of the band.” At One of These Nights’ shows, the tribute act focuses on the Eagles’ hits, although the musicians do enjoy the legendary band’s deep cuts.

“We only play 90 minutes,” said Waxman, of Mesa. “We want to play the songs that people are most familiar with. It’s so exciting. Nine out of 10 people like the Eagles — except Jeff Bridges in ‘The Big Lebowski.’ “Most people know the words and are singing along. Fans are so happy,
and every show is a fun show for us.” Besides Eagles songs, One of These Nights performs solo Don Henley tracks like “Boys of Summer” and three solo Joe Walsh tunes. “We put a little bit of our own spin on the music,” said Waxman, who uses a Talk Box like Walsh. “We modeled this
show after the ‘Live from Melbourne’ tour, the first one they did. We do stick pretty close, but we’ll throw some lead solos in that aren’t quite the studio version.” Waxman has been a fan of the Eagles since he first saw them in 1975 in Berkeley, California. “They had just come out with their first album with ‘Take It Easy’ and ‘Peaceful Easy Feeling,’” he said. “My brother was a musician. After that, I loved them. I was a fan from that day on. I saw them again at Day on the Green (festival in Oakland, California) when Joe Walsh had joined, and one more time on ‘Hell Freezes Over.’” One of These Nights was founded about seven years ago but lead singer/guitarist JD Madrid of Phoenix has been performing Eagles songs for nearly 15 years.

Peoria wood sculptor participating in Hidden in the Hills BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Each of Matt Werner’s wood sculptures tells a story. Whether the Peoria resident is sculpting people in action or sitting quietly, his goal is for viewers to find their own story in the pieces. Werner will showcase his artwork during Hidden in the Hills, which continues Friday, Nov. 26, to Sunday, Nov. 28. Coordinated by the nonprofit Sonoran Arts League, this year’s free, self-guided tour features 191 artists at 45 studios throughout the scenic Desert Foothills communities of Cave Creek, Carefree and North Scottsdale. A native of Philadelphia, Werner was a teenager when he discovered an appreciation for art. “I often visited the Philadelphia Mu-

With ‘Copy That,’ Evans explores others’ music BY ALAN SCULLEY
Peoria Times Contributing Writer
Sara Evans has a current album, “Copy That,” out, and there was a genuine sense of not just excitement, but surprise, in her voice when she began talking about the project in a recent phone interview. “I’d have to say it’s probably, I mean, I hate to say this because I never want to sound insincere, but this could honestly be my favorite record I’ve ever done,” Evans said. “That says a lot because A, I’ve made, what, nine albums now, but also I’ve written a lot of my own songs and they’ve all been my babies.” Evans is referring to the fact that “Copy That” is made up of her versions of songs made famous by other artists. Evans said she realizes that artists commonly say that each new album is the best one they’ve done. She’s also aware that covers albums are sometimes dismissed as less important and less work-intensive than albums of original

material. But clearly, “Copy That” is not meant to be a stepchild of Evans’ nine previous studio albums (plus a Christmas record). Evans and producer Jarrad K (Kritzstein) put plenty of thought and work into the project, beginning with choosing the songs for the album. “When it got down to it, I was like ‘Oh my gosh, how am I going to pick the songs? This is way more stressful than I thought it was going to be, because the songs are endless,’” Evans said. “I knew we could probably only have somewhere between 10 and 15 songs.” The approach Evans took to how she wanted to treat the songs also required meticulous effort. “What we decided is we were really going to – that’s why I named the album ‘Copy That’ – we were just going to copy these songs and not try to make it all quirky and different to where the songs were kind of unrecognizable,” Evans said. “He (Jarrad K) was diligent about that. He really worked my tail

off.” An example is the version of the Kenny Loggins/Stevie Nicks hit “Whenever I Call You Friend” (which features Phillip Sweet from Little Big Town sharing lead vocals with Evans and Evans’ two daughters, Olivia and Audrey, on backing vocals). “Like someone would put a part on and then we would go back and listen to the original and we were like, ‘Oh, we missed that and there’s also that’ and then we would put that on. We were just like incredibly diligent about that,” she said. The musical relationship that developed between Evans and Jarrad K is one of the reasons “Copy That” became such a special experience for the singer. Evans discovered Jarrad K, who’s probably best known for his production work with Weezer and the Goo Goo Dolls, after her manager suggested she listen the latest album by Ruston Kelly.

Evans considers Kelly’s music bro-country and she is no fan of that country sub-genre. But she became obsessed with Kelly’s “Dying Star” album, which was produced by, you guessed it, Jarrad K. “I was just like, all the intricate details of the production and crazy little drum rolls and stupid, just stupid guitar parts that ended up being amazing, I was just like ‘OK, I want this guy to produce my next record. He has to,’” Evans said. It turned out that Evans’ hunch that she would mesh musically with Jarrad K was spot on. “We are literally kindred spirits. We are soul siblings. We are musical soulmates. And we had the best first meeting. I just couldn’t stop ask him things like ‘Why did you do this on Ruston’s record?’ And ‘Where did you get the idea?’” Evans said. “I always tell people that we fell in love musically.” Another highlight for Evans is that “Copy That” became a family endeavor. In addition to having daughters Olivia, 18, and Audrey, 17, sing on the album, her 22-year-old son, Avery (who has been in Evans’ touring band in recent years), is the featured guitarist on the album. “Avery plays guitar all over the re-
cord,” Evans said. “So almost all of the guitar parts that you hear are him, but he particularly stands out on the Wallflowers’ ‘6th Avenue Heartache.’ That whole entire outro of the soloing and stuff is him.” Evans says the surroundings for the project also contributed to her fondness for “Copy That.” The album was made shortly after she moved back to Nashville last year after living for a decade-plus in Birmingham, Alabama, where her husband, former University of Alabama star quarterback Jay Barker, has a radio show. It’s where the couple, who married in 2008, raised Barker’s four children from his first marriage and Evans’ three children from her first marriage. “That is a part of the reason that this is my favorite album because, I don’t know if you’ve ever moved away from somewhere and then moved back, but it’s an amazing feeling, and especially how much Nashville has changed and seeing all the old new blasts from the past, people from my past,” Evans said. “People have also been so kind to me about it, like welcoming me back.” Evans’ enthusiasm is apparent in the performances on “Copy That,” an album that gets a strong element of familiarity
thanks to the faithful renditions of the songs. The choice of songs, however, has some surprises. There are a couple of country classics (Patsy Cline’s “She’s Got You” and Hank Williams’ I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”) and some ’70s-era country tinged pop tunes (“Whenever I Call You Friend” and Poco’s “Crazy Love”) one might expect from Evans. But “Copy That” also boasts several seemingly left-field choices, such as the Knack’s power-pop hit “My Sharona,” Dexys Midnight Runners’ Irish-tinged rouser “Come on Eileen” and the Pretenders’ bouncy “Don’t Get Me Wrong.” The diversity of “Copy That” sends a very intentional message. “I want people to realize that I’m so much more than just the country genre. And like when Spotify does like playlists concerning me, I don’t want to just be associated with Carrie Underwood or Luke Bryan or the current country,” Evans said. “I want to be known as an amazing singer and producer and musician, and not just Sara Evans, the country singer. “I want people to go ‘Oh-my-God, I’ve never heard Sara Evans sing this kind of music or sing this way,” she added. “I want them to think that I’m

vious career and become a full-time sculptor,” he said. Social issues have become more important to Werner, and he expresses his observations and opinions through his figurative pieces. “I’ve become more confident with my voice as an artist,” he said. “My sculptures now include topics ranging across COVID-19, legal inequality, riots, and tragic events like 9/11. I also like to remind others that life — and people in particular — are engaging, amusing, noble, beautiful and joyous. People are simply the most interesting part of life’s show.” Werner works exclusively with hard woods, such as maple, oak, walnut, mesquite and alligator juniper, and he prefers to use dyes to enhance his stories with color. “I prefer hard woods because they are
an even better singer than they thought I was because I am singing better now than I ever sang, and I’m challenging myself, and I hope that shows through when you listen to it. But I did some really hard stuff on this record.” Evans has started to filter some songs from “Copy That” into her concerts. Of course, with a catalog that includes 20 charting singles, including five No. 1 country hits (“Born to Fly,” “Suds in the Bucket,” “No Place That Far,” “A Real Fine Place To Start” and “A Little Bit Stronger”) that during the early- to mid2000s put her in the front ranks of the country scene, she has plenty of song choices for her shows. “It’s definitely a good 90 minutes, no question, sometimes longer because I like to talk a lot to my audience,” Evans said. “Yeah, basically it’s all the hits — really even not all the hits — we don’t play everything.” PT Sara Evans Blue Christmas Tour

This Thanksgiving, and this Christmas Columnist
Have you heard of the song “This Christmas”? Well, this year, I’ve added to the title, as you can see above. To me, these two holidays belong together. Thanksgiving precedes Christmas. First thanks, then giving. Thanksgiving is a pause of thankfulness that reorients us to the things that matter the most: God, family, friends. It’s a time to pause, pray, praise, and celebrate God and others. Think of it. When you drink from the stream, remember the spring. Thanksgiving is much more than a time when one species ceases to gobble and another begins. Consider this quote by Robert Lintner: “Thanksgiving was never meant to be shut up in a single day.” Mr. Lintner made a great point here. Be thankful to God and people more than just one day a year. Let me illustrate Thanksgiving

has devastating consequences. It affects our attitude when we are closed to gratitude. We end up becoming judgmental. We end up becoming selfish and self-sufficient. We end up underachieving and alone in our unthankful world.” Brene Brown captures Douglas’ concept in this statement: “What separates privilege from entitlement is gratitude.” Craig Lounsbrough clarifies Thanksgiving for us even more. “Let’s be frank, being thankful doesn’t change the reality of what we’re facing; it simply emphasizes what we do have rather than what we don’t have. It focuses us on the possibilities, not the liabilities. It’s not about making anything different. It’s about seeing things differently. When we see things differently, we engage those things differently. “Being thankful is entirely contrary to a sense of entitlement. The two don’t do well with one another. In some ways, we’ve been groomed and grown to believe that life owes us. If I’m entitled, there is no need to be thankful.

we must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives. I agree with that. Even the famous sprinter Usain Bolt has found a way to thank his doubters. Here is what he wrote: “I’d like to say to all my fans out there. Thanks for the support. And to all my doubters, thank you very much because you have pushed me.” Not bad! Dub Nance points out something for which we all can be very thankful. “There’s one thing for which you can be thankful. … Only you and God have all the facts about yourself.” Richard Douglas notes the following on the idea of Thanksgiving. “The modern American seldom pauses to give thanks for the simple blessings of life. One reason is that most of us have many good things in life. Another reason is that it hurts our pride to be grateful. We do not want to admit that God is the provider of all good things. We are stewards, not owners. Being thankful requires humility and faith in God. When we have these things, we can be grateful.” The lack of thankfulness in our lives

with the following story. An older man lived alone in Ireland. He needed to spade his potato garden, but it was backbreaking work. Moreover, his only son, who would have helped him dig, was in Long Kesh Prison. So the older man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his predicament. Soon the father received a reply from his son. “For heaven’s sake, dad. Don’t dig up that garden. That’s where I buried the guns!” At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen British soldiers arrived and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused, the older man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened and asking him what to do next. His son replied, “Now plant your potatoes, dad. That’s the best I could do from here.” You know what I would do if I were the older man in the story. Thank God and thank my son! This Thanksgiving weekend, I have a suggestion for you. Why not give thanks for and to your family, co-workers, friends, spouse, employees or your employer? John F. Kennedy said that

If I’m owed something, and it’s legitimately mine, why should I be grateful for it? And why would the thought of thankfulness even cross my mind if it’s mine in the first place?” Think of it. Attitudes sour in the life that is closed to thankfulness. If someone isn’t thankful for what they have, they aren’t likely to be thankful for what they are going to get. Soon selfish attitudes take over, closing life to better things. If you are living in a world of thanklessness, pause and change it, taking the time to thank God and others. That’s what Thanksgiving is all about. It’s giving thanks, not just taking thanks. Thanking God and others is a way to bless God and others. Thankfulness gives you a different perspective on life, an attitude that builds up, not
tears down. A happy Thanksgiving is a healthy Thanksgiving, and a healthy Thanksgiving leads to more giving, not getting Christmas. Now, do you see why God says, “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God…?” 1 Thessalonians 5:18. PT

Tips for Having a Great Garage Sale! 1. Sort through your closets, cupboards and garage for items to sell. 2. Partner up with a neighbor or friend. This is helpful to give each other breaks during the day. 3. Advertise your sale — ask us for our Yard Sale Special! 4. In your ad include the type of sale, (e.g., Yard Sale, Multi-Family Sale), date, time, address/ cross streets, and be specific on prices for high dollar items. Popular items you can include: furniture, appliances, electronics, tools, yard equipment, designer/children’s clothes and shoes, craft items, antiques, unique items and collectibles/ collections. 5.

The Developer shall provide on-site parking in accordance with the Peoria Zoning Ordinance requirements unless a “parking demand study” (or Study) is provided at the Site Plan application and approved by the City. The Study shall provide a quantitative analysis justifying any reduction in parking, and shall be prepared and sealed by a registered traffic engineer within the state of Arizona. In addition, the Study shall: Identify the number of parking spaces required pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance; Provide parking demand estimates using parking generation studies from the Institute for Transportation Engineers (ITE), Urban Land Institute (ULI) or other professionally recognized, and/or accredited sources; Provide parking lot counts of development(s) similar to the proposed use(s) within the City of Peoria and similar comparable cities; Provide a comparison of the proposed parking supply with parking requirements; Describe other characteristics of the proposal or measures being undertaken that could result in reduced parking demand, such as staggered work shifts, telecommuting, shuttles to transit stations, employee per square foot compared to the accepted industry standard for that use, customer or visitor trips compared to industry standards for that use; or, Provide such other information as determined by the City to be necessary to determine compliance with the approval criteria. “Common Useable Open Space” shall be provided in accordance with the ratio prescribed within the City of Peoria Design Review Manual. The total amount of “Common Useable Open Space” required shall be reduced by 19,195 square feet to account for driveway access and parking between the subject site and Wagoner Plaza 2 which lies to the south and southwest of the subject site. The Planned Area Development (PAD) Standards and Guidelines Report shall be amended to incorporate the above referenced conditions within 30 days of City Council adoption of the PAD Zoning District. SECTION 3: The City of Peoria zoning map is herewith amended to reflect the change in districts referred to in Section 1 above and as defined by the Legal Descriptions as represented in Exhibit A, and the corresponding parcel map as shown as Exhibit B. SECTION 4: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phase of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any Court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. SECTION 5: This Ordinance shall become effective at the time and in the manner prescribed by law.
