City to discuss water and sewer rate increases

BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

NEWS .............6 City begins intersection painting projects

March 28, 2019

Peoria residents should expect an increase to their water and sewer bills next fiscal year, as council is expected to hear about a proposed rate increase in May. City council will hear about two proposed increases – one for fiscal year 201920 and a second in 2020-21. The increases, if passed, will increase the average bill by approximately $4 over that time. Staff will present their recommendations at the May 21 city council meeting.

A 2.27-percent increase is being considered for 2019-20, which would increase

the average bill $1.84 per month. Staff will then request a 2.73-percent increase in 2020-21, which would increase the average bill by $2.26 per month.

“Rate increases are necessary from time to time to meet operating and capital needs,” said Sonia Andrews, finance and budget director. “The city’s practice has been to request small incremental rate increases each year to keep up with inflation and increasing operating and capital needs of our utility systems. We believe this incremental approach provides better predictability and affordability for our customers.”

Andrews said the reasons for the increas-

es include costs to continue water services as well as infrastructure improvements.

“For water and wastewater, operating costs such as the cost to acquire water supply through the Central Arizona Project and costs to further our drought resiliency plan are expected to increase, as well as electricity, chemicals and other operating costs,” Andrews said. “We also have aging infrastructure and plant expansion needs that have put cost pressures on our utility systems.”

Reports estimate the city needing nearly $200 million for water and sewer infraSEE RATES PAGE 3

McSally visits Luke AFB in bid to combat sexual assault

BY BAYAN WANG AND ERIC NEWMAN

Cronkite News and Peoria Times Staff Writers

Sen. Martha McSally announced during a March 21 visit to Luke Air Force Base that the Department of Defense has agreed to establish a task force to combat sexual assault in the military.

During her visit, McSally, who spent nearly three decades in the military, introduced some of the task force’s goals, including improving responses to sexual assault, especially the way they’re investigated and prosecuted.

McSally, who revealed earlier this month that she had been raped by a superior officer while in the Air Force, admitted she has always felt strongly about the issue, but was particularly inspired after hearing a talk on military sexual assault in Washington, D.C., earlier this year.

“I decided that night that I was going to share my perspectives, not just as someone who served and not just someone who was a commander, but also as a survivor of military sexual assault myself. That was not an easy decision, but I felt like it was the right thing to do at the right time so that I could help lead on this issue,” McSally told reporters outside the base.

She said the Air Force is already “leading the charge” on an initiative she proposed.

“I asked (acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan) to create this task force that I can also participate in,”

Sen. Martha McSally spoke about sexual assault in the military while at Luke Air Force Base on March 21. (Photo by Eric Newman)

she said. “It’s a little nontraditional that these different branches of the government would be at the table together, but we need to solve this together.

“I want to participate in that task force to bring the thought leaders and the experts together to swiftly see what other initiatives we can come up with before we mark up the defense bill and in about 60 days, we can bring to the table to address this issue.”

McSally said commanders need to be invested in the task force, more prepared and more accountable to successfully combat sexual assaults.

“If you want anything fixed in the military, the commanders have to own it,” she said. “If the commander is the problem, we need to make sure that there are

opportunities for people to go around the commander, to go to the command level above them, to go to outside organizations … and those relief valves are there, but we need to make sure that trust is there so that if somebody is a victim, that they understand who they could go to … they understand what the process is going to be, that the investigation is done swiftly and thoroughly.”

During her visit, McSally also spoke with multiple high-ranking officers about their own experiences in dealing with reported assaults on their bases.

Having dealt with the issue firsthand in her own career, she offered her own perspective on what she feels needs to be done.

“On this particular topic, it was really

important for me to hear from current commanders as to what their current challenges are so that I wasn’t forming my opinions based on my own experiences, and based on my own anecdotes from others around the time I was a commander,” she said.

Though she said issues such as preventing assault and giving tools to those who are facing it in the moment are important, McSally said a major effort is being put into figuring out the best ways in which to assist victims after they report assaults.

“We’re very much focusing on after assault is reported. What can we do to improve the process of investigations, and the judicial process? What other resources do they need?” she said, addressing prevention, culture, training and education.

“The rate of reporting is going up, but we don’t know what the denominator is.

So, we don’t know whether that means the rate of assault (is) going up or that people are trusting the system more, so that they feel confident they can report and it’s going to be dealt with directly,” she added.

McSally said she finds the work the military has vowed to put forth inspirational, as she does the information with which she walked away from Thursday’s meeting. While she hopes new legislation can be passed to prevent military sexual assault in the future, she is also putting responsibility on the people currently serving to make sure the actions are cut out.

“The status quo is not OK,” she said.

Teen drowns in Lake Pleasant

NARPRO accepting old car seats

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

A 16-year-old boy drowned in Lake Pleasant despite a friend and other peoples’ attempts to render support.

According to Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) officials, the teen was swimming in the lake’s Desert Tortoise Campground area around 1:30 p.m., when he began to struggle.

MCSO said despite a friend’s attempts to help, the teen went under the lake’s surface. Other people came and pulled him from the water within minutes and began to perform CPR. Deputies arrived and continued life-saving measures before the teen was transported to medical personnel at the 10 Lane Boat Ramp and then to Abrazo Peoria Emergency Center.

He was pronounced deceased at the hospital.

Alcohol, drugs and foul play are not suspected. Lake Patrol detectives launched an investigation. The Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s Office is now investigating.

The Network of Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals (NARPRO) is partnering with Safe Kids Maricopa County and other local organizations to collect old, expired and damaged car seats, which volunteers will take apart for proper recycling. This is the 11th year of the “Keep Our Planet Neat, Recycle Your Car Seat” event.

Residents can drop off their car seats that need to be recycled at a participating NARPRO shop from now until April 18. S&S Tire Peoria/Sun City, 11790 N. 91st Avenue, is participating from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

Car seats don’t last forever, and over time their components will break down, especially in the hot Arizona sun. Older car seats or those that have been involved in an accident, may not have visible damage showing, but they should not be used. This annual event helps those with older, expired or damaged car seats get rid of them in an environmentally-friendly way, by keeping them out of vehicles and landfills. Last year, nearly 1,000 car seats were saved from unsafe use and dumping.

Donated car seats will be recycled on April 20 at Good Works Auto Repair in Tempe.

structure improvements over the next five years.

“About 75 percent of the rate increase is for operating cost increases and the remaining 25 percent for aging infrastructure,” Andrews said. “Plant expansion costs due to growth are expected to be funded by impact fees and new account growth.”

To continue improvements, Andrews said revenues for water and sewer will need to increase by about 1 percent, resulting in residents’ water rates for this part of their bill to increase 1.1 percent during fiscal year 2019-20 and 1.6 percent during 2020-21.

While residential and business will both see increases, residents will face the brunt of the costs because they are a majority of the city’s bills.

“Over 90 percent of our accounts are residential, and our typical residential customer uses about 10,000 gallons of water with about 8,000 gallons of winter water usage used to determine sewer flow,” Andrews said. “Current-

3

ly, a typical residential customer pays about $81 per month for water, sewer, storm water and trash and recycling services.”

Storm water services will increase approximately $1.50 a month over the next two years to maintain the expected increased maintenance costs for the city. The fee will help maintain the city’s dry wells, catch basins, large pipes and other needed infrastructure. Trash and recycling costs are also expected to rise, but the estimated amounts have not been finalized.

“With trash and recycling services, the main cost driver is the change in the recycling market. We used to generate revenues from selling our recyclables to China. However, China adopted a new policy in 2018 where they will not accept recycled materials that are not 99.5 percent pure, a difficult standard to meet for America’s recycling plants,” Andrews said. “As a result we now will incur considerable costs to meet those standards. Aside from the change in the recycling market, landfill costs, fuel and fleet maintenance costs

are also increasing.”

Andrews added that while the average amounts are for the year, residents should also consider that costs are higher for their first bills because it is in the warmer, summer months, when more water is used.

“Customers typically use more water during the summer months, and because of that, utility bills are higher in the summer even without a rate increase,” Andrews said. “If council approves the new rates for July 1, 2019, customers could see their bill increase as a result of both the new rates as well as their normal higher water use in the summer.

“Our customer service team can be reached at 623-773-7160 if customers need help understanding the new rates and their water usage,” he added.

The city says water rates are based on meter size, customer class and usage. Residents have a base charge by meter size, so larger meters rack up higher costs. Residents also have a usage charge based on how much water is used.

April 13 – 50 cents will be deducted from library overdue fees for each nonperishable food item collected at the Peoria Main and Sunrise Mountain libraries. All donations will be accepted even if fees are not being paid. A maximum of $25 can be paid with donated food. Homemade food and food donated to replace lost or damaged items cannot be accepted.

victim, Martha Thy of Spring Valley, California, were taken to the hospital. Thy succumbed to hers at Banner Thunderbird Hospital.

DPS initially reported that the incident happened around 6:56 a.m. near the Thunderbird Road off-ramp on the northbound Loop 101.

The two were in a white Lexus sedan, which veered off the road, through a canal and into a fence.

According to a probable cause statement obtained by Peoria Times, the vehicle belonged to Thy, though Acosta was the driver at the time the incident occurred. The two were reportedly a couple and had been living together.

Witnesses reported seeing an altercation between the man – later identified as Acosta – and woman (Thy) who were in the vehicle, DPS said. Acosta allegedly stabbed the woman, while passersby stopped to assist the situation.

The probable cause statement was more detailed, alleging that Acosta began to stab Thy while the two were still in the vehicle – him in the driver’s seat and her in the passenger seat. Acosta then allegedly exited the vehicle, walked around to the passenger side, opened the door and resumed stabbing Thy. After Thy crawled over the driver’s seat and onto the ground, closing the door behind her, Acosta

Perreira running to meet Ellen DeGeneres

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Staff Writer

Former Apollo High School student Lee Perreira desperately wants to get Ellen DeGeneres’ attention.

The rock ‘n’ blues musician’s goal is to be a worldwide superstar who is inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. With DeGeneres’ help, he can make his dreams come true. For more than 200 days, he has submitted through her website, the desire to be on her show.

“I play music and I want to end up on the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame, tour the world, and record an EP,” he said.

To get her attention, he’s running from Phoenix to Burbank, California.

In the meantime, he is collecting funds for four charities: AZ Cancer Foundation for Children; Chrysalis-Driving Out Domestic Violence; AHCA – Arizona Health Care Foundation; and Ellen DeGeneres Campus – Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. His goal is $1 million. To donate, visit leeperreira.com.

Perreira’s work with AZ Cancer Foundation for Children inspired him to do this for charity. The effort closes Friday, April 12.

“On New Year’s Eve, I was running,” said Perreira, who is livestreaming his runs. “I’m an active runner and I had this idea: I’ll just run to Ellen. Once I overcame the goosebumps, I thought it was cool.

“With Ellen, she’s inspiring and I’ve

always felt connected to her,” he said.

“If I have my moment on her show, it’ll really be changing my life, my perspective and purpose. Music has always been my passion, but now I understand it’s a platform I can use to inspire more people.

His goal is simple: to shake Ellen’s hand.

“If it doesn’t happen, I would be totally at peace with that,” he said. “I know what my purpose is and why I’m doing this. Meeting Ellen would just be the icing on the cake.”

Intersection painting projects bring a splash of color to Old Town Peoria

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Artists from around the city are at work on a new initiative aimed at making historic Old Town Peoria a little brighter.

As part of the city’s place-making initiative, the city of Peoria recently brought artists and community members together to design and execute five intersection painting projects.

The first project – from March 20 through March 23 – featured artists Connie Whitlock and Margaret Lieu with assistance from high school students from the Peoria Flex Academy and Peoria Accelerated High School. They were scheduled to paint the intersection at 83rd Drive and Washington Avenue. The theatrethemed painting features the classic “comedy and tragedy masks” in homage to the nearby Peoria Center for

the Performing Arts.

Four additional projects will take place in April with the final project slated to be complete in early May.

Once completed, the city plans to host a community celebration to showcase the new art. More information on the community event will be forthcoming.

Here is the schedule for all of the upcoming intersection painting projects: • Artists Charith and Michael Denson and Arnold Guerrero will paint 84th Avenue and Jefferson Street from April 12 through April 14 • Artists Martha Wolfe and Heather Young will paint 84th Avenue and Washington Street from April 27 through April 28 • Artist Melissa Zimmer will paint 83rd Avenue and Washington Street from April 28 through May 2 • Artists Lance Linderman and Timmy Ham will paint 83rd Avenue and Jefferson Street from April 28 through May 2 Some traffic restrictions may apply during the construction.

According to published reports, witnesses also claimed to hear gunshots, which was later reported to be from a bystander who fired his gun at the ground in an attempt to scare Acosta away from stabbing Thy. Bystanders ultimately subdued

Acosta until authorities arrived.

The incident resulted in the closure of northbound Loop 101 from Peoria Avenue to Thunderbird Road for quite some time that day.

DPS has assumed the investigation, though Peoria Police Department is involved.

“The Peoria Police Department is also assisting, and we appreciate their help,” DPS said.

According to reports, Acosta’s bond was set at $1 million, and he appeared in court the following day.

With each passing birthday comes a sense of time shortening. The older you get, the more you understand that you have more days behind than days left to come.

You awaken to each new morning determined to invest meaning into whatever time you have left.

Some people might call this occurrence a midlife crisis. Me, I’m not that eloquent. I call it feeling supremely tired of life’s bull.

Like hiding things. I’m so very tired of hiding things.

I’m not talking about privacy, keeping secret your Social Security number and passwords. I’m talking about how fear of what others may think or say prevents us from revealing who we are and that with which we struggle.

I’m talking about the burdens we carry in silence from cradle to grave, the things we never say for fear of stigma or humiliation. I’m talking about speaking aloud the truths most of us confine to the voice that speaks to us from deep within.

Here’s my truth. If you don’t care, I can’t say I blame you. There are plenty of other pages in this publication. You should read those stories instead.

My whole life, since I was a child, I have struggled with depression strong enough to blacken sunny days and life’s victories. I have been sad when I should have been jubilant, sad when I should have been indifferent, horrifically sad when shedding a few tears would have sufficed.

I’ve talked to therapists and doctors for more than 20 years. I’ve taken antidepressant medication. I’ve told pieces of the story to trusted loved ones. But never once have I been honest about myself with the world at large.

I am doing so today because I am 54

Depression is too often an unspoken secret

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ

OPINION

– old enough to understand that I am no exception to life’s afflictions. I’ve had good friends take their own lives because of depression. I’ve watched brilliant men and women, people of the utmost character, have their lives decimated by this burdensome darkness.

I’ve struggled rather than ask for help, and I’ve stood by while others struggled – people for whom I might have offered a kind word, or been a resource. Instead, all I did was bear silent witness. That’s not enough.

At 54, there is not one more material thing I need as a gift. Thus, on this birthday I thought it would be more fitting to flip the script and offer a gift to anyone who happens to read these words. Call it advice or some hardwon knowledge or a whisper from a fellow traveler.

This thing you have is real, and it sucks. But you are by no means unique in this. The voice in your head that tells you no one cares, that you are not worth it, that you should suffer in silence – that voice is a trick played on us by our affliction.

There are millions of people alive today who know the exact same feeling, people who would gladly walk beside you if only they knew what was in your heart, your mind.

Speak your truth. Ask for help. Help someone else. But know this – you are not alone. You never were, except that like me you allowed your silence to make it so. Depression may not be a choice, but honesty absolutely is.

Depression is but one story in a life full of them. It’s a tale we too often avoid, fearful how the world might react. All these years have taught me that it’s the stories we keep to ourselves that do the most damage.

This darkness hates the light. Better to speak the truth, then, to let the light flood in.

KIRK’S OPINION – The Toledo Blade

Celebrating Women’s History Month

BY REP. DEBBIE LESKO Eighth Congressional District

Every March, we celebrate Women’s History Month. It’s a month to reflect on and celebrate the many accomplishments and contributions of women to our nation. As the first Republican woman to represent Arizona’s Eighth Congressional District, I feel so blessed to serve alongside 105 other women, the most women to ever serve in the U.S. Congress. I am also fortunate to live in and represent the state of Arizona, which has been leading the way for women for 107 years.

Arizona gave women the right to vote in 1912, the same year it officially became the 48th state, which is eight years before the United States gave voting rights to women. Our state has had more female governors than any other state in the nation, and the first female U.S. Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O’Connor, was an Arizonan. We are a leader in electing women, and we are home of the “Fab Five,” when the top five statewide elected offices were all held by women. These are just a few of the ways that Arizona has forged the

Rep. Debbie Lesko (Photo courtesy Rep. Debbie Lesko’s office)

path for women leaders.

In Congress, I was elected to serve as the Republican chairwoman of the Bipartisan Congressional Women’s Caucus. I lead the caucus with Brenda Lawrence, a Democrat representative from Michigan. What makes the Women’s Caucus unique is that we truly are a bipartisan group. Each woman in Congress is a member of the caucus, so we have a large, bipartisan group ready to tackle the issues facing womSEE WOMEN PAGE 12

en, children and families here in the United States.

The Bipartisan Women’s Caucus will work on some big issues this Congress.

One of those will be combating domestic violence. This issue is personal to me, as I am a survivor of domestic violence. I want to help other victims and show them that a new life is possible.

Other issues we will address include the high rate of maternal mortality in the United States. We will also look for ways to expand women’s financial security, including improving access to capital for women-owned small businesses, economic self-sufficiency, and retirement security. We will continue to focus on combating sex and human trafficking and violence against women

and girls, including on our campuses and in the military. Care giving, elder care and health issues specific to older women, as well as opioid misuse and mental health, will also be some of our priorities. If there are issues you would like to see the Women’s Caucus focus on this year, please visit my website at lesko.house.gov.

So this month, let us remember the achievements of women from the past and present, and be hopeful for what women will achieve in the future. We are lucky to live in a country where, as women, we can do anything we set our minds to.

-Congresswoman Debbie Lesko represents Arizona’s Eighth Congressional District in Congress. She serves as co-chairwoman of the Bipartisan Women’s Caucus.

Screening helps prevent colorectal cancer

BY DR. DEBORAH MCCLARY Abrazo West Campus

Colorectal cancer is generally found in men and women age 50 or older, but it does not discriminate between age groups, race or ethnicity. If you have a family history of colon cancer or colon polyps, it can occur at an earlier age.

As one of the most common, but most preventable cancers, colorectal cancer screening should be on anyone’s calendar who may be at risk for the disease.

Screening can find precancerous polyps, which are abnormal growths in the colon or rectum, that can be removed before they become cancer.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about nine out of every 10 people whose colorectal cancers are found early and received appropriate treatment are still alive five years later. Screening helps find any colorectal cancer at an early stage, when treatment is most effective.

Regular screening is the key to preventing colorectal cancer, and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that adults age 50 to 75 receive the screening at regular intervals.

If you think you are at risk, ask your doctor about when to begin screening, which test is right for you and how frequently you should be tested.

A colonoscopy is a simple procedure that allows your doctor to look inside the entire large intestine. It is frequently performed to detect early signs of cancer in the colon and rectum.

The test also may be done to obtain a tissue sample for biopsy, diagnose inflammatory bowel disease or evaluate unexplained abnormalities (such as polyps), anemia, blood in the stool, abdominal pain or persistent diarrhea.

Preparation for a colonoscopy usually begins several days before the actual procedure. Your doctor will provide instructions for the prep, which must be followed to ensure an effective screening. On the day of the procedure, you will be given a moderate sedative and pain medication to help you relax and keep you comfortable during the exam.

Images of your colon are transmitted by a colonoscope onto a video screen so your doctor can examine the intestinal lining. Polyps can be removed using tiny tools inserted through the

scope. Tissue will be sent to the lab to determine if they are cancerous.

Most colonoscopy procedures last approximately a half hour, plus time for preparation and recovery. You should be able to return to normal activities by the next day.

To find out more about your risk for colorectal cancer and screening recommendations, talk to your doctor.

Midwestern comedy is in Dave Landau’s blood

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Staff Writer

Growing up in suburban Detroit proved to be inspirational for comedian Dave Landau.

He watched the growth of Dave Coulier and Tim Allen’s career, and studied comedians at the legendary Mark Ridley’s Comedy Castle in Royal Oak, Michigan.

He discovered Coulier’s talents at age 9, when the fellow Michigander was on “Full House.” Allen was another influence.

“I grew up watching ‘Home Improvement.’ That was huge to me,” Landau said.

“One of the reasons I was turned on to comedy was I watched a documentary on Tim Allen and Mark Ridley was heavily used in it. Tim Allen was talking about Mark and the Comedy Castle and

all these people who started there.”

After graduating from Grosse Pointe North High School, Landau began formally studying comedy at The Second City in Detroit.

“I started at Second City at age 19 after five years of high school,” Landau said. “I went there and started doing improv and sketch comedy.”

Since he moved to Los Angeles, he has become an in-demand comic. He’s appeared on Comedy Central’s “Live at Gotham” as well as being featured prominently on two consecutive seasons of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” He’s become a regular on the nationally syndicated “Bob & Tom” radio show, and was honored as one of the top 21 club comics at HBO’s Las Vegas Comedy Festival.

Landau, 36, will bring his refined type of comedy to Westgate’s Stir Crazy Comedy Club Thursday, March

freedom and the ability to say things I want to say,” he said. “Making people laugh is a cathartic thing. It takes an edge off my life, too. It has a connection with my family, too. I watched ‘SNL’ with my dad, too, along with comedy specials and ‘In Living Color.’”

Throughout his years, he appreciates the difficult of his career and the visibility.

“I’ve been lucky,” he said. “It’s definitely been hard at first, but Mark Ridley said we did a lot together.”

Air rifle competition yields champion shooters

BY BETTY SHARPE Glendale Daily Planet

Safety and good sportsmanship came first at the Department of Arizona Commander’s Centennial Three-Position Air Rifle Cup Match, held in the Southwest Indian Ministries Center gymnasium earlier this month.

Air rifles, like those used in the March 9 competition, fire paper pellets that travel approximately 600 feet per second. They are defined as a tool, not as a weapon. Scoring for the match was done electronically.

“Congratulations to all of the shooters and teams that won awards; and thank you to all the coaches and shooters for attending the match. Thank you to all the event staff for their help.

Because of you, we had a successful cup match once again this year,” said Dan Palmer, commander/adjutant for Glendale’s American Legion Arrowhead-John E. Ford III Post 144.

JROTC teams trekked from across the state to compete. Tombstone and Buena Vista high schools were among those that participated.

Adults, coaches and range safety officers (SRO) were present to make sure competitors followed gun and eye safety protocol. Bob Krumwiede served as chief range safety officer.

“We tripled the number of shooters attending the event compared to last year,” Palmer said.

According to Palmer, the event started with a Boy Scout troop presenting the colors. Ken King, Area B vice commander for the Department of Arizona, kicked off the ceremony and presented awards to individual shooters and teams.

Palmer added that the event featured a demonstration from the National Rifle Association’s Adaptive Shooting Program and was staffed by Young Marines.

T-shirts, hats, pins, safety cards and award booklets were provided by the NRA and Brownell’s.

A Wickenburg group, the 40&8 Voiture, cooked breakfast and lunch for spectators, competitors, coaches and event staff, Palmer added.

As for the competition itself, there were three relays, each with three positions: prone, kneeling and standing.

Each rally usually took about an hour and 15 minutes.

Members of the JROTC teams were well prepared, remained patient and

practiced during the daylong competition.

In the last challenge of the day, the top 16 shooters battled for individual awards.

That group was divided into two smaller groups, which separated experienced or veteran shooters from newer ones.

In the end, shooters and coaches received longsleeve shirts, carrying bags and “oneof-a-kind” Junior Shooting Sports Program coins, Palmer said.

The new shooter and veteran division’s top shooters each received a Crosman Challenger PCP air rifle. The first-place veteran division received a 6-foot by 8-foot event banner and the first-place new shooter division received a 6-foot by 6-foot tablecloth.

“A huge thank you to M & J Trophies for all the medals, trophies, banners, stickers, shirts and carrying bags for the event,” Palmer said.

“A thank you goes to The American Legion-Department of Arizona for trusting in Dr. Roberta Kimelton and I to make the Arizona JSSP a model for other states,” he added.

The next match is scheduled for October and will be at Cactus High School. Organizers plan to have 40 new shooter and 40 veteran shooter lanes running at the same time, which will allow them to accommodate more than 100 teams, or 400 shooters, from Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas, New Mexico, Montana and Alaska.

“Maybe in 2020 the National American Legion Air Rifle Competition will be held in Arizona and not Colorado,” Palmer said.

Arizona Coyotes battling for a playoff berth

BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

The Arizona Coyotes are in a place in March that they have not been in a long time, battling for a playoff berth.

With six games remaining as of March 25, the Coyotes sit two points out of the final wild card berth with 79 points, tied with the Minnesota Wild.

The Dallas Stars (82 points) and Colorado Avalanche (81) hold the two Western Conference Wild Card spots.

The Coyotes have matchups against Chicago (March 26), Colorado (March 29), Minnesota (March 31), Las Vegas (April 4) and Winnipeg (April 6) but may need help if they hope to qualify for the playoffs for the first time in six years.

Over the past five games, the Coyotes have struggled, losing five in a

row to fall from the final playoff spot to three points out. But head coach Rick Tocchet sees support growing for his team.

“You especially want the fans to believe in what we’re doing,” Tocchet said after a recent home game. “We asked them last year through some tough times to stick with us. I think the fans are coming out and getting louder and Coyotes winger Lawson Crouse has filled in for numerous injured teammates, scoring 11 goals and 11 assists for a total of 22 points.

louder. I think they understand that this team works hard. We’re starting to get results now, but things change quick.

We’re not a rollercoaster team and we understand where we’re at, but it’s nice to have a lot of fans cheering.”

One of the biggest hurdles the Coyotes have had to overcome has been injuries. The team has lost over 350 man-games to injuries over the season.

Goaltender Antti Ranta (November 27), center Nick Schmaltz (December 31) and defenseman Kyle Capobianco (February 6) were all placed on injured reserve and Brad Richardson, Derek Stepan, Jakob Chychuran and Alex Galchenyuk are all among the players who have spent time injured this season.

Vipers battle for 17-10 victory over Chandler

BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer

After an unexpected 10-day delay because of the rain, the Glendale Vipers returned to the lacrosse field and made a case as a contender for one of the top teams in Arizona this season.

Glendale (4-0) opened the game strong with a smothering defense and jumped out to a huge early lead before hanging on for a 17-10 victory over the Chandler Pumas March 25 at Thunderbird Paseo Park.

Leading 10-4 at halftime, the Vipers’ Teegan Williams, of Verrado in Buckeye, erupted early in the second half.

Williams scored three goals in the first five minutes, extending the Vipers’ lead to 13-4 with 6:21 left in the third quarter.

“When we got the big lead early in the second half, I pulled my starters and got some playing time for my younger guys,” Vipers head coach William Casey said. “We have about 11 guys who play year round that are really solid players, but we also have a lot of new kids and tonight we were able to get them some playing time.”

Williams opened the second half by taking a pass from Ironwood’s Jacob Knippel and spinning around two defenders, firing a shot past Chandler goaltender Evan Doble. Three minutes later, Williams picked up a loose ball and cut across the front of the net before scoring again from the outside.

“He (Williams) was really strong tonight and controlled the ball when he needed to,” Casey said. “He is playing very well right now and is one of the leaders of this team.”

Thirty-one seconds later, Cooper Brosius of Glendale Mountain Ridge bounced a shot from 15 yards out. The shot bounced off Doble, and Williams picked up the ball and fired it into the back of the net.

“With the weather delays, we played a scrimmage last week so we make sure not to take off time and we try to stay fresh,” Casey said. “We have a lot of players who play all year long, and some have been playing since kindergarten, and it was showing early in this game.”

Chandler (0-4), which is struggling with injuries and has lost eight players to injuries, never stopped battling after

falling down by nine. Casey began pulling his starters with six minutes left in the third quarter, when the Pumas started to battle back.

With 5:26 left in the third quarter, Chandler’s Cody Sampley picked up a loose ball and raced to the right sideline, from where he lobbed a pass to Tanner Donaldson, who then fired a shot that slipped past Brosius.

“We are usually the team that starts a game strong, getting up by five or six goals, before our depth catches up to us and we lose late,” Chandler head coach Tyce Thielsen said. “When you fall down like we did tonight, and with our deficiencies, it is very tough and the guys knew it but kept battling.”

Williams picked up his fourth goal of the third quarter with 2:20 left when Peoria Centennial’s Robert Doran picked up a loose ball in front of the Glendale net and drove down the field. Doran passed the ball to Knippel, who flipped the ball back to Williams, who then bounced it into the net.

“We got a little run and started to battle back, but then (Williams) got that pass in front and was able to score

again,” Thielsen said. “We kept fighting, but our defense really gave us some fits tonight.”

Chandler got one more in the third when they got a two-man advantage with 39 seconds left. Chandler’s Brody Kofahl fired a shot that bounced off the right crossbar, where he picked up the rebound, and fired it past Brosius to get the Pumas to 14-6 at the end of the third quarter.

After Chandler battled back, Casey said he was torn about pulling his reserves, but made the decision to put his starters back to stop the Pumas’ late push.

“I was very impressed with the first half, but got irritated late in the third quarter. We played sloppy in the second half and I had to put my starters back in the game,” Casey said. “I don’t blame the new guys at all, they played hard, but we started to slack off a bit and it showed. But the playing time is something those kids need and we were able to get them that tonight, which will help as the season continues.”

Nature’s clutch play saves Cactus League season BYJIM WALSH Peoria Times Staff Writer

After a cold, wet start, the Cactus League was staging a late-inning rally at stadiums across the metro region and especially in the East Valley at Mesa’s Sloan Park.

More than 16,000 fans basked in the sun at Sloan Park on St. Patrick’s Day as the Chicago Cubs, the league’s perennial meal ticket, helped propel a late surge in attendance in Mesa and throughout most of the league.

The latest Cactus League statistics, through the March 20 games, show that Sloan Park and Cubs fans are the cleanup hitters in the Cactus League’s rally in the usual balmy conditions.

After another 16,000 fans enjoyed a game with the Los Angeles Dodgers on March 20, the Cubs were on pace for at least six games with such lofty attendance figures beyond capacity.

The Cubs had drawn 189,041 through 14 games, for an average crowd of 13,569; the Los Angles Angels of Anaheim had drawn 102,471 through 15 games for an average crowd of 6,831 at Tempe Diablo Stadium; and the Oakland Athletics had drawn 58,978 in a 10-game abbreviated schedule, for an average crowd of 5,898 at Hohokam Stadium.

Elsewhere around the league, the usual teams were leading in attendance at a level far below the Cubs’ benchmark.

The Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants were locked in a close battle for second place in the attendance sweepstakes.

The Giants have drawn 128,041 to Scottsdale Stadium through 14 games, an average of 9,146 a game and 583 fans less than a year ago.

The Dodgers have drawn about 300 more fans than the Giants, 128,475 through 13 games, but were still down 271 fans per game at Camelback Ranch in Glendale.

The league statistics showed the two teams based in Glendale, the Dodgers and the Chicago White Sox, drew a combined 205,915 fans. The average crowd in 2019 was 8,237, an increase of a modest 278 fans.

The White Sox were responsible for the small gain, drawing 688 more fans per game than the year before for an average crowd of 6,453.

The Cleveland Indians suffered among the deepest declines in atten-

dance this year at Goodyear Ballpark. The Indians had drawn 70,481 through 13 games, an average of 5,422, a decline of 1,045 fans per game.

That was offset somewhat by their partner at Goodyear Ballpark, the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds drew 65,164 through 12 games. Their average crowd per game increased by 717 fans to 5,430.

Overall, the combination of the Reds’ increase and the Indians’ decrease created a decline of 194 fans per game at Goodyear Ballpark through 23 games.

A rare series of five rainouts on March 12 throughout the league seemed like a distant memory, however, as fans laid out on blankets in the sun on the outfield berm behind the left field fence at Braced by better weather, the crowd at Sloan Park in Mesa last weekend stood at attention for the National Sloan.

Chandler continued to attack in the fourth. After falling behind 15-6 with just over eight minutes left in the game, Puma midfielder Maxwell Rhoads picked up a loose ball and drove down the field. Rhoads spun between two Glendale defenders and fired a shot from 20 yards out that bounced past Vipers goaltender Devin Rockey of the Arizona Conservatory for Arts and Academics.

Less than a minute later, Chandler’s Tyler Allison fired a shot that was stopped by Rockey, but the ball bounced to Donaldson who picked it up and fired a shot into the back of the net.

“The kids just kept fighting and attacking and I am proud of the way they played the entire game,” Thielsen said.

“I am not surprised. We teach that and that is how we are. We have been in every game, but this one got away from us early.”

Williams led all players with eight goals and Knippel added four as six different Vipers scored in the game. Doran, Brosius and Rockey each played in goal.

Casey said his deepest position may be goaltender.

CACTUS LEAGUE FROM PAGE 20

“On every possible level, it has exceeded our expectations,” Piper said.

“Attendance has been strong.”

He said the attendance for those games has been the highest for any MLB team in spring training, including the Cactus League and the Grapefruit League in Florida. The leagues have 15 teams a piece.

Contributing factors for spring training attendance include a team’s following and the size of the ballpark.

In contrast, Tempe Diablo Stadium, the league’s oldest and most intimate facility, has a capacity of about 9,500 and the Angels of Anaheim, like most other teams, don’t draw the same loyal throng as the Cubs.

Tempe Diablo also benefited from the league’s late season rally, with the Angels drawing back-to-back capacity crowds of 9,655 fans on March 15 for a game against the Diamondbacks and 9,693 on March 16 against the Cleveland Indians.

“It’s not too bad. We had four games in February. It’s been very early,” said Jerry Hall, manager of Tempe Diablo.

“I think we will have a strong finish.”

Diablo had somewhat less of a buzz this year because Shohei Ohtani, a twoway Japanese star, was in rehabilitation after arm surgery, unable to play.

Peoria Times “I am three deep at goalie, and all three are strong in the net, and that is a good problem to have,” Casey said. “While we are not a deep team, I was able to get a lot of the younger guys playing time tonight.”

Chandler was led by Donaldson, who scored six goals. Kofahl added two in the loss. Thielsen said his team, even though they are shorthanded due to injuries, must continue to improve.

“We just need to keep going. We are so close and we have the talent, but we just need to slow the game down and control the pace. We will keep working because the skill is there and we just need to work on the mental side of the game, but we are close to breaking through.”

Casey said this victory was key to seeing what type of team he had and, after their fourth victory on the season, his expectations have changed for the season.

“I want to go to state and I think this team has the talent to do that,” Casey said. “If we keep playing like we are and the way the league is, it is open to anybody, so I see us going to a championship. I think we have the talent to make a run.”

“We definitely would have gotten a lot more attention,” especially from Japanese media, if Ohtani had been able to take the field, Hall said. “It would have helped.”

Some Cubs fans seemed a bit surprised by the cooler weather in February and early March, but they were more than satisfied with the season after a long winter in the Midwest.

“We got here on Valentine’s Day and it was rainy and cold. Then, it started to change. I think this is the hottest day since we have been here,” said Bill Shannon, a longtime season ticket holder at Wrigley Field in Chicago who has been coming to Mesa for spring games for 30 years.

But Shannon and friends were not complaining and said they were enjoying their time in Arizona as usual.

“We will miss this beautiful weather in April and May,” he said.

He said it will be June until Cubs fans feel the sun’s warmth again at Wrigley.

Kerry Bonora, who has coming from Chicago to Mesa for Cubs games since 1996, said he likes Sloan Park even more than Hohokam Stadium, where he said the parking was tighter.

“I love Sloan. It’s bigger and it has better facilities for the Cubs,” he said. “I think it’s beautiful.”

Church Community Connection: When heaven can’t wait You may have heard of a movie entitled “Heaven Can Wait,” released in 1978. But what happens when heaven can’t wait?

Here are a few examples of people who have passed on and left a final message on their gravestones. Comedian Rodney Dangerfield left with a laugh.

His reads, “There goes the neighborhood.” The gravestone of famous talkshow host Merv Griffin says, “I will not be right back after this message.”

A man named John Yeast simply put, “Pardon me for not rising.”

Have you noticed young people tend not to read the Bible very much? Older people tend to read the Bible like crazy.

It’s like older people are cramming for their finals.

Many of you have entered the golden years. Some of you are getting ready, too. Some are still far and away from the golden years. Whoever coined “the golden years” was “in it to spin it.” For most people, the golden years are going to be uphill all the way. Don’t misunderstand. There’s lots of gold in the golden years. But there is also drama, hurt, frustration and death. Let me explain.

The last month has been tough on me and many others, I know. I went to my brother’s funeral and shared about my brother, Andy. He passed on recently, at just 66 years old. It seems surreal to our family. My 94-year-old father is living out the nightmare of every parent, living beyond one of his children.

CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Contributing Writer

A few weeks ago, my good friend, John Clark, who was one of the founding elders of Hosanna Christian Fellowship, passed on, too. John was incredible. He was one of the most Christ-like people I have ever known.

He was 70 years old.

Now if you think that what I have written doesn’t apply to you, I have bad news for you. Someday you’re going to look like me and be as old as me. Sorry about that. Life’s not fair all the time.

If life was fair, Elvis Presley would be alive, and all the impersonators would be dead.

The key to living an abundant life in any age and especially the golden years, even with all the drama, is understanding we were born for heaven.

There comes a time for all of us when heaven can’t wait. The saying should really be when God can’t wait. Our time on earth is up. The end is just a beginning in disguise. We take step one to get to step two. It’s heaven time.

The Apostle Paul writes, “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.”

From the moment you were born, God has been getting you ready for

At a funeral or homegoing, family and friends are saying goodbye to their loved one. But once that loved one arrives at heaven’s gates, those who went before them greet them. Our loss becomes heaven’s gain.

B-movie coming to Arrowhead

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF RiffTrax’s Michael J. Nelson, KevKev in Murphy and Bill Corbett (of Mys Mystery Science Theater 3000 fame) are back in cinemas to celebrate the 10th anniversary of RiffTrax Live. Join Nelson, Murphy and Corbett as they take on three B-movie classics: the guy-ina-rubber-suit creature feature “Octaman,” the Casper Van Dien space odyssey “Star Raid Raiders,” and new HD trans transfer of the MST3K fa favorite “Giant Spider Invasion.”

“Octaman” will be screened at 8 p.m.

Thursday, April 18, at Arrowhead Fountains 18, 16046 N. Arrowhead Fountain Center Drive.

In the creature feature, a scien scientific expedition sets out to study an

atomic mutant and stop it before it kills again. But they’re not very good at it, since Octaman kills quite a lot – probably because the scientists keep stealing its babies.

It seems there’s no stopping the monster until it develops a crush on plucky lady scientist Susan Lowry (Pier Angeli) and does what all mutant sea creatures like to do – it knocks her out and carries her away.

It is directed by the writer of “Creature from the Black Lagoon,” and features costumes and effects by a young Rick Baker.

Since first partnering in 2009 with “RiffTrax Live: Plan 9 from Outer Space” the RiffTrax and Fathom Events partnership has resulted in the screening of 29 unique titles, over 49 play dates, in an average of 616 movie theaters per title, with more than 1 million

tickets sold for a total gross box revenue of $13.8 million (not including the 2019 events).

Tickets for all three “RiffTrax Live: 2019” titles can be purchased at fathonevents.com and participating theater box offices.

Pineda named to coalition’s board

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The Western Maricopa Coalition (WESTMARC) named Avondale Councilman Mike Pineda as its newest board member.

Through his role on the organization’s board of directors, Pineda will represent his city.

Headquartered in Glendale, WESTMARC is a coalition of public, private and education leaders that is committed to the West Valley’s economic vitality and enhanced quality of life. Founded in 1990, the coalition membership is comprised of the cities of Avondale, Buckeye, El Mirage, Gila Bend, Glendale, Goodyear, Litchfield Park, Peoria, Phoenix, Sun City, Sun City West, Surprise, Tolleson, Wickenburg and Youngtown.

WESTMARC’s board of directors

represents all three sectors of its membership, through which it sets the strategic direction for the organization.

Serving his first four-year term on Avondale’s City Council, Pineda was elected in 2016. Prior to his time with the city, he served as a member, vice president and president of the Littleton Elementary School District’s governing board.

In addition to being on WESTMARC’s board of directors, Pineda currently serves on the Maricopa Association of Governments’ (MAG) economic development and human services coordinating committees.

He is also part of Avondale City Council’s subcommittee for boards and commissions and serves on the Estrella Mountain Community College (EMCC) business advisory board.

A father of four and a former educator, he coaches youth sports. A proud graduate of Agua Fria High School in Avondale, Pineda earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in secondary education from Grand Canyon University. He has been a lifelong resident of the West Valley.

623.842.6000 623.842.6000 tar The Glendale 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.

AIR CONDITIONING

5. Place signs on major cross streets and on the corners leading into your neighborhood. Just a fat, solid black arrow on colorful poster board works fine.

6. Price your items. If having a Multi-Family sale, each family should have a different colored price tag. You can do a $1 table, $5 table, etc., to save time.

7. Money. Be prepared with change, including coins. Do not accept checks. Cash only!

8. Have electricity available to test items.

11. After the sale, remove your signs and donate leftover items to a local charity.
