First responders learn active-shooter scenario skills BY TOM SCANLON

Peoria Times Associate Editor

Many of the things present were very familiar to churchgoers: coffee, muffins, a polite audience and a passionate preacher. Yet this was no ordinary day in Peoria, as the ALICE organization was preaching an unusual message: Survive an active-shooting scenario. The message was crucial to this “train the trainer” active shooter scenario at Christ’s Church of the Valley. The event was sponsored by Cleveland training institute ALICE, an acronym for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evacuate. Before several intense exercises, ALICE staff gave presentations to first respond-

ers and community members from around the Valley, with the hope the participants would in turn stage exercises in their communities. Two different scenarios starred Jim Clark, a captain and paramedic with the Buckeye Fire Department, and Charlie Johnson, an anti-terrorism officer with the U.S. Army’s Yuma Proving Ground. In the first scenario, 150 first responders and community members hid in various rooms. Clark, armed with a “gun” which shot foam pellets, hunted down the cowering participants, howling, “I’m gonna find you! And you’re never gonna forget me!” In the second scenario, the participants were instructed to exit the building as

quickly as possible after receiving a signal. Clark “shot” 34 people, while Johnson managed to hit just one Illustrating one of the core messages: If you’re not sure you are in a safe place in this kind of scenario, get out of there. ALICE’s Brandon Rhone encouraged first responders to use the tools they leraned to train others — especially at schools. To those who worry an active shooter training might be traumatic to kids, Rhone has an answer: “Every kid in school has to do a fire drill once a month.” Adding: “Can’t we train the same kids to increase their odds of survival with active shooter drills?” he asked.

In an effort to boost enforcement in various areas throughout the city, the Peoria Police Department is looking to continue its participation in an ongoing program — one which benefits law enforcement agencies around the state every year. Each fall, the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety provides grants to various agencies to assist in traffic safety efforts. This will be the 16th year the Peoria Police Department has acquired these grants. Four grants amounting to $160,636, approved at a Sept. 17 council meeting, will support Peoria police’s efforts in the areas of DUI/impaired SEE TRAFFIC SAFETY PAGE 8

ATRIAL FIBRILLATION FREE PATIENT EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR LEARN ABOUT AFIB (The disease), CURRENT AND NEW TREATMENT OPTIONS Atrial Fibrillation or AFIB is a quivering or irregular heartbeat that can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart related complications. At least 2.7 million Americans are living with AFIB. Patients with AFIB are normally treated by a Cardiac Electrophysiologist (EP). Stroke is at least 5 times more likely to occur in patients with atrial fibrillation. Treatments to reduce stroke risk, usually blood thinners, can require close monitoring and carry significant risk of bleeding. The left atrial appendage is the portion of the heart where more than 90% of stroke causing clots form. The Watchman™ left atrial appendage closure device is an implant designed to close the left atrial appendage, trapping potential stroke causing clots and, thus, potentially alleviating the future need for blood thinners.

Come join us for a free educational event with Dr. Nirav Mehta and learn about the causes of AFIB, how to recognize if you have the condition and different treatment options for treating the irregular heartbeat and options for stroke prevention.

SROs to continue high school patrols BY TOM SCANLON

Peoria Times Associate Editor

School resource officers will remain on-site at four Peoria high schools for the 10th consecutive year. At a Sept. 17 regular meeting, the Peoria City Council approved the renewal of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the Peoria Unified School District to assign four police officers to the campuses of Peoria, Sunrise Mountain, Centennial and Liberty high schools. The school resource officers’ assignments were approved through the school year ending in May 2021. During a council discussion, it was emphasized the officers will work on campus, alongside students and faculty to address a variety of issues impacting students and investigate any potential school-related criminal activity. “Peoria’s school resource officers are specially trained intelligence officers, counselors, and mentors,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said. “They are role models who are committed to protecting kids and addressing root problems before they become crimes. “They work alongside faculty and students as they encounter difficult situations. They play a critical role in keeping our schools and our city safer, and are an exceptional point of pride for our community.” Officer Lisa Hale has been assigned to Liberty High School, Officer Beth Griffin to Sunrise Mountain High School, Officer David Fernandez to Centennial High School and Officer Andrew Marks to Peoria High School. Also on Sept. 17, Peoria City Council passed various consent agenda (considered to be routine or previously reviewed) items, including: • The acceptance of $8,537 from the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records to be applied to the Peoria Library’s local training/meeting account. • Acceptance of four grants totaling $160,636 from the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety for various enforcement and education efforts. • An IGA with the Regional Public Transportation Authority for operations and maintenance of the Peoria Park and Ride.

Veteran helps fellow retirees get informed BY OCTAVIO SERRANO Peoria Times Staff Writer

Ron Quillen, a veteran of the U.S. Air Force, remembers a widow who was crying over her late husband who had served in the military. “I was out at the commissary one day and there was this older lady that sat in a wheelchair crying her heart out,” the Goodyear resident said. “Her husband had died, but in the process of their time in the service, there was one piece of paper that he didn’t sign and that was the one piece of paper that would allow her to have an income after he died.” Quillen said the grieving widow lost everything due to the lack of information she and her late husband possessed on how to handle legal documents. It is because of stories like these that he volunteers to run the Retiree Appreciation Day. Luke Air Force Base Retiree Appreciation Day is 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 26. The event will consist of multiple information desks where veterans can get different kinds of information. Its purpose is to assist retirees with information and to keep them linked to the military family. “We are bringing in about 50 information desks and we cover anything from the medical center to the attorney general’s office,” Quillen said. “The attorneys come there and if you have legal questions or if you want to set up a will, they will be there.” The RAO provides information such as federal and state benefits for veterans and their family members, medical facilities, retirement pay, veterans’ affairs and burial benefits for retirees, veterans service organizations, former spouse eligibility such as TriCare and dental plans, as well as other programs. Attendees are also encouraged to “bring your arms,” as immunizations will be given, as well as to bring any legal questions they may heave. Judge advocates members will be there to assist retirees with legal issues. The Luke AFB RAO is located at 7383 Litchfield Road, Building 1150, Suite 1181, Luke AFB. Quillen said his passion stems from the time he served in the military. He served in the Air Force from 1957 to 1961. But because he broke his back in 1960, and had a limited military career, he has found a way to give back to its members by volunteering with the Re-

tiree Appreciation Day. “I didn’t get much of a military career and I didn’t fight for our country,” Quillen said. “This is my way of paying back because I didn’t serve 20 years and the taxpayers pay my living, so I think I owe the taxpayers something.” Quillen sees a need for a service that gives veterans information due to an influx of inquiries received every day from people looking for information. “We get phone calls all day long at the office asking, ‘Where do I get family assistance? How do I get housing? How do we do this? How do we do that?’” He said it is difficult to watch older veterans who don’t have access to the information that is constantly updated. He holds spouses who have lost a significant other close in his heart. “One of the saddest things you have to do is, when somebody loses a spouse and they don’t know which way to turn, we steer them in the right direction,” Quillen said. Although Quillen is excited to see people from the Luke community par-

ticipate in the event, he is dedicated to all the branches and not just the air force. Because of this, he said he has “spent many days and nights at hospitals with veterans and their families.” His duty, today, is to assist as many veterans as he can and to continue to spread the wealth of information that is available to military families, as he described it. And the ROA mission is “to provide information to veterans, because of a lot of stuff that comes out, they just don’t get. A lot of them don’t have computers.” The ROA is meant to educate retirees and veterans who may be unclear on a topic or need assistance. Quillen said the ROA is something all bases are required to do if they are able to find volunteers to run the office. And at the age of 80, he is looking forward to continuing to serve his country in any way he can. “We’re not looking for anything other than to be able to contact veterans. That’s our sole purpose and drive,” Quillen said.

‘Rogue trooper’ arrested, given 61 charges BY TOM SCANLON

Peoria Times Associate Editor

There may be more victims of a “rogue trooper” who has been charged with victimizing eight female drivers from Buckeye to North Phoenix. Tremaine Jackson, a 43-year-old Buckeye resident, is a former Arizona Department of Safety trooper who was fired shortly before his Sept. 10 arrest. He faces 61 charges, including kidnapping, false imprisonment and attempted sexual assault of eight women. The case made national news, with CNN and the New York Times detailing the charges that led DPS Director Col. Frank Milstead to state, “We are horrified,” in a press conference. The 61 charges stem from eight unlawful traffic stops that Jackson is alleged to have made. At the Sept. 10 press conference, Milstead asked members of the public who felt they were treated inappropriately by Jackson to call DPS. “Potential victims have been identified since the press conference,” said DPS Sgt. Kameron Lee. “We can’t discuss how many calls we have received.” A preliminary hearing for Jackson that was scheduled for Sept. 20 was delayed until Friday, according to the Superior Court of Arizona. All of the eight allegedly unlawful stops Jackson made took place late at night. Five of them were off of I-10, between I-17 and U.S. 101. Two allegedly unlawful stops by Jackson were off of I-17, one at Thomas Road, the other Northern Avenue on the outskirts of Glendale. According to a summary document released by DPS, Jackson often kept women at roadside for extended periods of time. At 3:29 a.m. on Dec. 23, Jackson allegedly made an illegal stop on the I-10 in Buckeye. He directed the driver to stop on Verrado Way, about 3 miles from the West Solano Drive address that Jackson gave as his residence when he was arrested. Jackson allegedly took the victim’s keys and phone. According to the document, the victim repeatedly asked Jackson to let her go. “What are you willing to do?” Jackson allegedly responded.

This phrase was repeated in the summaries of several other alleged unlawful stops by Jackson. Many times, he is said to have repeatedly asked victims for their phone numbers. Jackson also allegedly entered false information into a computer system, in order to hide traffic stops as long as an hour long, during which he is said to have kept frightened women from leaving the scene. According to documents released to the press, “Jackson generated DPS warnings with false information, false times, false locations, false violations and with no … violation of the law to conduct the traffic stop.” Lee was asked if the Jackson case led to any department changes and/or reviews, particularly with regard to stops and tracking. “The department already highly tracks activity and has policies in place requiring the accurate tracking of activity to include traffic stops,” Lee responded. “Jackson made the conscious decision to violate those policies and public trust as displayed by his behavior.” Lee was asked if DPS had tips for any public members who feel they are being treated inappropriately on a stop. “A person can always request the presence of a supervisor or a second trooper on a stop,” Lee said. “Almost all of our traffic stops are handled professionally, as we expect they should. We receive very few complaints in comparison to the number of citizen contact we have on a daily basis. “Troopers are directed to be cordial and respectful; to give their names and reason for the stop as well as explain the outcome of each stop.” Those who feel Jackson treated them inappropriately are encouraged by AZDPS to call the victim hotline number, 602-223-2389. Victims can also visit azdps.gov/ jackson to submit a report.

The goal, he stressed: “Increase survivability from an act of violence.” Rhone gave examples from around the country where school staff disarmed students who might have caused great harm. “I’m not saying trade punches for bullets,” he noted. In an interview, Sarah Gasper of the Phoenix Police Department noted first responders and others have already been talking to schools about potentially violent intruders. “This is taking it to the next level,” she said. “It’s hands-on, practical training.” That’s exactly why Justin Adams of the Buckeye Police Department attended. “I wanted to come and take this course to be able to help the citizens of

Pine seat becomes official as Dunn is sworn in

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

After winning the Aug. 27 special primary election with 88% of the vote, Denette Dunn was sworn in as the new representative for Peoria’s Pine District at the Sept. 17 council meeting. Dunn assumed the seat on an interim basis in April, after the retirement of longtime Councilman Carlo “Rocky” Leone due to health reasons. Leone passed away in June. “Councilmember Dunn’s overwhelming victory shows just how much trust and support she shares with the citizens she represents,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said at the meeting. “I’m pleased to welcome her to the Peoria City Council.” Dunn was left as the sole valid listed candidate when challenger Randall “RJ” Rains withdrew his candidacy due to his own health reasons in July. With Rains out of the picture, Dunn’s only challenger was the official writein candidate and attorney Cordero Delgadillo, whose sister, Brittany Burback, unsuccessfully challenged Vicki Hunt for the Acacia District seat last year. Dunn earned the seat with 88% of the vote, or 2,150 votes, according to results from the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office. Twelve percent, or 307 votes, were listed for the write-in candidate. Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes reported only a 12% turnout, or 2,819 votes, in the special election. “As John F. Kennedy once said, ‘As

we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.’ As the newly elected Pine District councilmember, it is my privilege to serve my city and community,” Dunn said Sept. 17. “My actions will be that of engagement and listening to the residents who entrusted me to represent them. “My mom always said, ‘Many hands make light work.’ The success of the Pine District and the entire city of Peoria depends on all of us working together to build an even better community. I will work hard and am grateful to be able to do so, on your behalf.” Prior to becoming councilmember, Dunn worked in the business management, marketing and communications industries and served on the planning and zoning commission since fall 2018. In her time as an interim councilmember, she met with all city departments, held several community meetings and participated in council meetings. Dunn’s interests are water conservation, public transportation, street maintenance and development along Peoria Avenue and Loop 101.

The bulk of the money will go toward overtime wages, with a few thousand dollars dedicated for supplies. According to Peoria Police Department spokesman Brandon Sheffert, the grants help with “our normal day-today (operations) we don’t necessarily have the ability or time to do.” He said it’s the same concept each year, with the target areas often remaining the same. “This gives us some extra funding to put officers out there on additional

Peoria Times duty or also (get) some equipment,” he added. According to statistics contained within unsigned contracts for the four grants, which are available on the city’s website, vehicle crashes within the municipality seem to be on the rise between 2015 and 2017. Over these three years, total crashes increased from 2,214 to 2,804, while related injuries increased from 670 to 868. Crashes due to alcohol increased from 94 to 146 incidents between 2015 and 2017, with those causing injuries increasing from 44 to 86 over the first two years, but decreasing to 57 in 2017. Fatalities decreased, however. From 2015 to 2016, fatal crashes increased from 11 to 13, though they decreased

The Peoria Fire-Medical Department arrived on scene and found a young motorcyclist bleeding profusely, with a severe lower leg injury after a collision with a car. In a video presented at the Sept. 17 Peoria City Council meeting, fire department personnel explained their actions in treating Eric Peterson, the severely injured biker.

to four in 2017. Alcohol consumption related crashes decreased from seven to none over this three-year span. Similarly, pedestrian-related crashes have decreased. From 2015 to 2016, pedestrian-related crashes increased from 94 to 130, though they dropped to 38 in 2017. And associated injuries increased from 44 to 86 before decreasing to 20, while fatalities decreased from seven to two over the three years. Statistics from 2018 were not provided. While Sheffert said he has observed the statistical trends, he said he does not have an exact answer as to why some statistics are increasing, while others are decreasing. Regardless, however, officers want to decrease the number of incidents. So, the police department will use the grants to its advantage from Oct. 1 through Sept. 30, 2020. “What it really does is it gives us the opportunity to make the roadways in Peoria safer,” Sheffert said. Deterring DUIs With only two dedicated evening DUI traffic enforcers and limited resources for regular staffing, the department plans to use $80,000 to boost deterrence efforts, according to the first unsigned grant contract. Each grant has a separate contract. One objective listed by the department is to participate in at least five saturation patrols per quarter in FFY 2020. With the support of the grant, officers can conduct increased patrols during holidays and special events, as well as surrounding bars and restaurants. Notably, the department is involved in the West Side DUI Task Force — a local coalition of law enforcement agencies who attempt to curb alcohol-influenced driving through partnered saturation patrols — and has participated in more than 70% of the task force’s events last year. In FFY 2020, the department plans to partake in no less than five task force operations per quarter. “What happens is they have these saturation patrols … they kind of rotate around the Valley. So we host several and then they’ll go to Goodyear, then they’ll go to Glendale,” Sheffert explained. “What happens is they bring in — rather than us only have our ‘x’ amount of officers on the road for DUI enforce-

ment that night — all these people, and they work in the area to really show that high-visibility enforcement.” Another objective listed in the contract is to conduct a DUI education session at each of the four Peoria high schools by Sept. 30, 2020, the conclusion of the grant period. According to the contract, the department’s goals are to decrease impairment-related crashes from 146 in CY 2017 to 138; decrease crash injuries from 57 to 54; and ensure there are no fatalities again, all by the end of 2020. Officers also intend to make more DUI arrests, increasing from 559 in 2018 to 600 by the conclusion of 2019. Protecting school zones The Peoria Police Department noticed an ongoing issue with schools: Since 2009 local schools have had the same dismissal time, according to the pedestrian and bicycle safety grant contract. Police say in the contract this is troubling for traffic, with as many as 60% of students riding to school with their parents. With adults failing to follow drop-off and pick-up instructions, as well as improperly parking, the 10% of students who bicycle to school are at risk, the contract reports. The department will use a $32,519 grant to boost back-to-school and school bus zone enforcement projects, as well as to partner with the Peoria Unified School District to identify school bus loading and passing violations. “For instance, at the beginning of this school year what would happen was we spread our traffic officers out into the different schools or we put them in different places,” Sheffert elaborated. “The first couple of days it’s educational. So they’ll stop people, saying, ‘Hey, you can’t do this; can’t do that,’ and then it turns into enforcement. And usually we do it for a little while and then people kind of get the idea.” The plan also includes hosting six bicycle rodeos by Sept. 30, 2020, which Sheffert described as a “safety course for bikes for kids.” The rodeos are held in conjunction with Parkfest events. “They (kids) bring their bikes and we get them all set up. They (officers) run them through a little obstacle course, like showing them how to stop and all those things,” Sheffert said. He added that sometimes free helSEE TRAFFIC SAFETY PAGE 9

mets are fitted and provided. Other objectives include conducting or participating in an outreach/educational bicycle and pedestrian safety event each quarter during FFY 2020, as well as maintaining a year-round sustained school traffic safety enforcement campaign. Ultimately, according to the unsigned grant contract, the department aims to decrease pedestrian traffic-related fatalities from two in CY 2017 to one, and serious injuries from 20 to 18, all by Dec. 31, 2020. Selective Traffic Enforcement Programs (STEP) Another GOHS grant, totaling $35,000, will go toward traffic services and speed control. More than 96% of city households have at least one vehicle and more than 94% need a vehicle for transportation, according to a 2019 demographic profile cited in the unsigned STEP grant contract, so officers identified a need for traffic safety. Thus far, the department has nine traffic officers, with limited funding for more.

I’m Here For YOU!

Officers feel the $35,000 will better equip them to enforce speed control, educate the community and deter related traffic issues. Specifically, the department plans to conduct at least 10 targeted speed enforcement efforts per month during FFY 2020. It will also “work with the public education specialists, school resource officers and community groups to provide traffic education in each high school and at other department-sponsored training events” and collect data regarding motorists who speed, run red lights or violate other traffic laws during the grant period, the contract specifies. The ultimate goals are to decrease speed-related crashes from 2,658 in CY 2017 to 2,525; fatalities from four to three; and serious injuries from 811 to 770, all by Dec. 31, 2020. Officers will also aim to hand out additional speeding and aggressive driving citations: 3,621 in FFY 2020, in comparison to 3,292 in CY 2018.

ness and education. According to an unsigned grant contract, police deem there to be a problem arising from an increase of motorcyclists within the city. That increase, in turn, correlates with increasing collisions, the contract reports. And with police observing motorcyclists not wearing helmets, officers are looking to boost awareness of safe driving, speed limits and distractions, all areas people pay less heed than they should. Considerable solutions, as observed by the Peoria Police Department, are placing motorcycle safety awareness signs around the city and crafting public service announcements. Ultimately, officers hope to decrease speed-related crashes from 2,658 in CY 2017 to 2,525, decrease related fatalities from four to three, and decrease serious injuries from 811 to 770, all by Dec. 31, 2020. Like some of the other grant areas, officers are looking to hand out more citations. Officers plan to increase speeding and aggressive driving citations from 3,292 in CY 2018 to 3,621 in FFY 2020.

We need to stop scaring our kids about shootings

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist

Not long after the first day of school back east, my buddy called with a complaint: His daughter, a brand new fourth-grader, had just participated in her first “active shooter drill,” an exercise meant to prepare kids for the possibility that a psychopath with an AR-15 might one day soon storm the school and begin firing. “I can’t believe this is the world we live in now,” my friend said. “We have to train kids how not to be killed at school. Because it could actually happen, so they have to be ready. Unreal.” This was the point in the conversation where I made a critical mistake — by trying to use reason instead of simply agreeing with him. “You know how many mass shootings

there have been in America so far this year?” I asked. “Let me tell you. About 300. About 300 shootings across the country where four or more people have been shot by a single gunman in a single incident.” My friend: “So what’s your point?” Me: “That there’s about 100,000 public schools in the United States. You know how many people have been killed by gunfire at one of those schools this year? Three. And none of those involved a mass shooter.” We’ve had many of these conversations, so what came next was predictable. My buddy explained how my point made no sense. Then he uttered a phrase I’ve heard many times from him this past decade: “Dude, you don’t have kids, so you re-

ally don’t get it.” I’ll stipulate to this fact. He is absolutely correct; I don’t have kids. Nor do I understand why it makes sense to scare the crap out of children, ripping boogeymen from the headlines so children can be prepared for an incident that has less of a chance of happening than being killed by hornets, wasps or bees. By the way, your chances of dying by a lethal sting? About one in 63,225 across your lifetime, according to the National Safety Council. Your chances of being mauled to death by a dog? About one in 112,000. Being killed by lightning? About one in 162,000. Even if my buddy refuses to recognize my point, I imagine many of you get where I’m going with this: There’s nothing wrong with teaching children to be aware of life’s dangers and preparing them to respond to potential deadly threats. But such preparation can be detrimental if we don’t also teach kids — and ourselves — to arrange life’s threats in some kind of hierarchy. The child who goes through life swilling sodas and eating pancakes for dinner but ready for a mass shooting

on school grounds is likely the kid who dies early from heart disease. You’ve got a lifetime one in seven chance of dying that way, if you’re playing along at home. To be clear, I’m not arguing for ignorance because such an uneducated state represents bliss. I’m arguing for more education in hopes that it creates the ability to balance what’s realistic and what’s wildly unlikely. It’s an exercise I’ve performed myself over and over, like whenever a plane trip makes me nervous. I remind myself that every day in this country, about 87,000 domestic flights take off and land. On the worst day in aviation history, sick bastards managed to gain control of four planes. When it comes to dying in any one particular horrible way, the odds are perpetually in our favor — a point we’d be wise to remember. Unfortunately, our odds of dying overall remain one in one. I haven’t figured out a way around that yet, but I’m working on it. David Leibowitz has called the Valley home since 1995. Contact david@ leibowitzsolo.com.

E-Cigarettes: Media bury the lede, we get to bury the bodies BY THOMAS L. KNAPP Guest Columnist

“Walmart Inc. will stop selling e-cigarettes in its U.S. locations as the country grapples with a string of vaping-related deaths,” Bloomberg reports. CNN: “Walmart said Friday [Sept. 20] it will stop selling e-cigarettes as the number of deaths tied to vaping grows.” Associated Press: “Walmart said Friday that it will stop selling electronic cigarettes at its namesake stores and Sam’s Clubs following a string of mysterious illnesses and deaths related to vaping.” Nearly every national headline on the story emphasizes “vaping-related” illnesses and deaths. Nearly every first paragraph associates Walmart’s decision with those illnesses and deaths. “Burying the lede” is the journalistic malpractice of failing to mention the most important facts of a story in the first (“lead” or “lede”) paragraph. That’s what’s going on here. One has to go to the second paragraph of most major media accounts, if not further, to learn Walmart’s real reason for its decision. Per AP: “The move is due to ‘growing federal, state and local regulatory complexity’ regarding vaping products, the company said in a statement.” And one can read most of the stories in their entirety without coming across a couple of other important facts. Fact #1: So far, wherever a specific “vaping” product has been linked to these “vaping-related” illnesses, that product has been a black market “street vape.” That is, a product you can’t buy at Walmart, or at your local convenience store, or on the web sites of any of the reputable -- and government-reg-

ulated -- makers of e-cigarettes. Fact #2: While questions remain as to the long-term safety of the relatively new practice of “vaping,” so far every credible study on the practice says it’s safer than smoking tobacco cigarettes. Walmart isn’t abandoning e-cigarette sales because vaping is unsafe. Walmart is abandoning e-cigarette sales because it doesn’t want to be left with a bunch of expensive inventory it can’t sell as local, state, and federal governments issue new regulations on e-cigarette products, up to and including complete bans. American regulators and politicians are hopping on the bandwagon of a baseless moral panic, created by socalled “public health” advocates and promoted by the mainstream media. The regulations and bans those regulators and politicians are proposing will increase, not decrease, the illnesses and deaths associated with “street vapes.” People who want to procure and use nicotine (or cannabis) aren’t going to request permission from regulators or politicians and take no for an answer. They’re just going to go get the stuff. They’ll buy it at Walmart if they can. They’ll get it from a friend at a party or a stranger on a street corner if that’s their only option. Mainstream media is burying the lede. The funeral home and cemetery industries should send thank you cards and increase their advertising buys. Thomas L. Knapp (Twitter: @thomaslknapp) is director and senior news analyst at the William Lloyd Garrison Center for Libertarian Advocacy Journalism (thegarrisoncenter.org).

Crumbl Cookies ready to sweeten up the West Valley BY ERIC NEWMAN

Peoria Times Staff Writer

For Katelyn and Jonny Rundell, Crumbl Cookies runs in the family. The couple owns the Phoenix location at 4747 E. Bell Road, Suite 9, along with both of their parents. Now, they plan to open another set of doors at the corner of Interstate 17 and Peoria Avenue on Oct. 10.

Sack specialist leading the charge for Peoria football BY ERIC NEWMAN

Peoria Times Staff Writer

If you told a nervous, ninth-grade Gabriel Ocampo, trying on pads for the Peoria High freshman football team, that he might become one of the best pass rushers in the conference, he might not have believed you. Yet, years later, as a senior, he leads all of 4A in sacks with 7.5 through four games. Undefeated Peoria hosts Desert Edge at 7 p.m. Friday. “I care more about the team doing well and winning. I saw that (7.5 sacks), but there’s so much more to the game than just numbers,” Ocampo said. He got into the sport for the first time as a freshman. He was a long-time wrestler. Though he was new to the game and had to quickly pick up the

playbook, his past athletics gave him a leg up on other novices. The body bending and morphing, as well as strength from wrestling, he said, gave him some innate ability to fight through and around offensive linemen on his way to the quarterback. It has worked well so far. By himself, Ocampo is a force against opposing quarterbacks. But it is his impact as part of the collective defense — one that allowed just 19 combined points through four games — that is most meaningful. He and the other pass rushers make the job simpler for Peoria’s defensive coaches. Coach Will Babb does not have to send extra rushers to attack the opposing quarterback. He can scheme different ways to use his linebackers and safeties, as they are certain someone will be

in the backfield without extra help. “It just makes everything easier,” Babb said. Ocampo’s improvement over time is not surprising to Babb. He remembers being impressed with the junior’s ability, as he would “have flashes of greatness.” Now, he has worked to make his impact more consistent. Ocampo credited his rise to discovering a love for the game midway through his high school career. “I think I started being really motivated after the first game last year. I got a sack and it just felt great. I was allin,” Ocampo said. His junior year was great, as Peoria went 9-1 in the regular season and was a high 4A playoff seed. But, as the team consistently remind themselves, the Panthers fell to No. 13 Seton Cath-

olic in a first-round upset. Ocampo, as a leader on the defensive side, wants to make sure it does not happen again. “The way it (last season) ended was terrible. Since that ended I’ve been working so that we don’t have to feel like that another year,” Ocampo said. “I just want to do as much as I can.”

Witch hunt: Poweful ‘Crucible’ coming to PCPA BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF A farmer, his wife and a young servant girl. A tale of deceit, jealousy and hostility. These elements make up the foundation of Arthur Miller’s modern classic “The Crucible,” which opens Friday, Oct. 11, at the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts. Winner of the 1953 Tony Award for Best Play, “The Crucible” has arguably best been described as “powerful” by the New York Times. The drama takes place in the insular, Puritan community of Salem, Massachusetts, where a group of young girls are found dancing in the woods and immediately fall ill. When no earthly cause can be determined, the citizens of Salem suspect that a more sinister force may be at hand. As long-held grudges turn to violent disputes, humiliating secrets are exposed and disseminated, and the line between truth and pretense becomes increasingly blurry, the citizens’ dogged determination

to root out evil becomes more dangerous than the evil itself. When the burden of proof is invisible and the crime too terrible to name, everyone becomes a suspect and no one is safe. Artistic Director Chris Hamby is no stranger to intense storytelling. He directed last season’s “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,”nominated for eight AriZoni Awards for Theater Excellence, and the 2017-18 season’s production of “Frankenstein,” which also earned numerous AriZoni Award nominations. When TheaterWorks puts on a production of the literary tale, once adapted into a film starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Winona Ryder, there will be audience seating allowing audience members to be on stage and fully

immersed into the story. The seating guests choose when purchasing tickets will closely match the seating on the stage, though not exactly. There will be a special pre-show lecture and post-show discussion after the 2:30 p.m. matinee performance on Oct. 19. Arrive 30-45 minutes prior to the show time to ensure adequate time to take a seat in the theater. Tickets are now on sale now. The production takes place in the Gyder Theater at the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts, 10580 N. 83rd Drive, through Oct. 27. Single tickets cost $18 to $38. To purchase tickets, contact the box office at 623-815-7930 or visit theaterworks.org. For additional support, contact patron services at 623-815-7930.

Second Saturdays brings hip vibe to Old Town Peoria this fall BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF The city of Peoria is partnering with Street Market to bring a new vibe, popup restaurants, live performances, cool tunes and specialty vendors to Old Town Peoria. Second Saturdays is a fresh, hip event series taking over 83rd Avenue and Washington Street starting Saturday, Oct. 12. “Second Saturdays is a series of events that will feature blocks of art, music and unique vendors in historic Old Town Peoria,” said Marylou Stephens, Peoria’s arts and events manager. “You can drop the kid off and enjoy a date night or take the whole family. We’re excited to show off local talent and create a dining and entertainment experience unlike any other in the Valley.” Second Saturdays is free and will occur every second Saturday of the month through May 9, 2020. It will be from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Washington Street and 83rd Avenue in the heart of Old Town Peoria, near Osuna Park, the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts,

Iron Key Studio, Lucidi Distilling Co. and Driftwood Coffee. Unique to Second Saturdays is the pop-up restaurants, complete with vintage furniture, dishware, linens and centerpieces. For $30, attendees can pick one of three themed dining experiences with a gourmet menu cooked by a professional chef: Frank Sinatra’s Favorites, One Night in Paris and A Taste of the Islands are October’s restaurant themes. Each Second Saturday will have different pop-up restaurant experiences from which to choose. Along with the pop-up restaurants, live musical performances, outdoor games, art, custom photo ops and food trucks, there will be an art mural dedication of “Curtain Call” at 4:30 p.m. Oct. 12. Local students who participated in the summer Gallery 37 program collaborated with the West Valley Arts Council and the city of Peoria to create the mural that will be displayed at the PCPA.

Peoria Film Festival integrating local, world cinema for second year BY ALLISON ENGSTROM

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

For the second year, the Peoria Film Festival is set to return to the Harkins Arrowhead Fountains 18 movie theatre from Oct. 10 through Oct. 13. An annual festival put on by the Phoenix Film Foundation, the fourday, Peoria-hosted event features more than 20 films from a variety of genres. Phoenix Film Foundation Executive Director Jason Carney is eager to return to the area. “It’s an honor to be able to present great films in the Northwest Valley. The city of Peoria is amazing,” said Carney, who encourages those who are interested in film to participate. In a press release announcing the return of the cinephile-friendly event, Mayor Cathy Carlat emphasized that she is “thrilled” the event will make its return. “Last year, we welcomed several gifted film and production companies, and our passion for movies and the power of a good story has only grown,” Carlat said. The Peoria Film Festival will open

with dinner at 6 p.m. Oct. 10 at Modern Round, which is directly across from the theatre and within the P83 Entertainment District. After opening remarks and refreshments, attendees will walk over to the theatre for an exclusive screening of “The Current War,” which stars major names like Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Holland. “It’s a pretty big film so we are excited to have that,” Carney said. From documentaries to dramas, Carney describes the variety as “a really good, healthy mix.” And as the Peoria Film Festival continues and grows, its team is working to integrate more local programming to the festival by incorporating CineLatino PHX and the Independent Feature Project Phoenix (IFP). At the festival, CineLatino PHX will celebrate Hispanic culture in honor of Spanish Heritage Month by screening three different films produced in Mexico. Though the program is not new, Carney wanted to tie it and the festival together. “We really wanted to bring more attention to the program,” Carney said.

Yo u r

Conquer

FEAR

IFP, whose mission is to develop the growth of independent filmmaking in Arizona, will help integrate more of a local flavor to the festival, too. IFP filmmakers were challenged with the task of creating a short film consisting of one prop and one line of dialogue, with just three weeks to produce it. Those short films will be shown the evening of Oct. 12. For first timers, Carney noted a difference between attending a festival and a normal night at a movie theater. “It’s that community vibe, because a lot of times you will have filmmakers there and they will be talking about their films and their experiences,” Carney emphasized.

DR. JAIME TOBON

If you are one of the millions that suffer from dental fears, you are not alone. Many patients are being treated for fear with ﬂawed techniques. Patients often tell us that numerous attempts to sedate them have failed. Dr. Tobon completely understands this and it is why he developed his own technique that he uses to make you feel comfortable and at ease.

Live the solution and the problem will go away CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Peoria Times Columnist

Have you ever been misdefined? Of course you have. Someone who didn’t like or understand you, for whatever the reason, painted an untrue picture of you to others. Since those others don’t know you, they often assume what they heard to be true. The result is others will make judgments about you based on sheer hearsay. Their opinion about you can go on for years in people’s minds with who knows what consequences. This happened to Jesus in yesterday’s world. It still does in today’s world. People can’t make accurate assessments on Jesus because others have muddied the water on who Jesus is, why He came, how He operates with

others, and the like. Other opinions have created a false Jesus in many people’s minds and make decisions based upon those inaccuracies. Please let me share with you a truer big picture of Jesus. I think most pastors and longterm Christians would agree with me. It’s not everything about Jesus but gives you the headlines on God, amazing agent of grace and truth. How do I know? I just watch Jesus in the scripture. Let me start. An amazing fact about the ministry of Jesus is He released people to be who they were created to be. He released their genius. In

three-and-a-half short years, He turned His former “island of misfit toys” disciples’ into the greatest change agents the world has ever seen. He sent His leaders and followers into the world unencumbered. He set them free from the emotional and physical clutter that had them enslaved them for years. He kept it simple so everyone could understand. He didn’t disqualify them, even when they left Him near the end of His ministry on earth. He inspired and equipped people to face their “unfaceables” like fear, inadequacy, shame, unworthiness and their guilt-ridden past. It takes a special person to do that. But Jesus was up to the task. He understands there is a little bit of crazy in us, yet He didn’t judge us for that. Consider his disciples. That is quite a board of directors. The hated and despised IRS of that time and the Hell’s Angels of that time were on His team. Haven’t you ever heard of Matthew, the taxman, and John and James, the Sons of Thunder? Sounds like a motorcycle gang to me. Jesus made people feel welcome. He spread out the welcome mat out for prodigal sons and wounded Samaritans. Jesus went to heaven to prepare a place for people like that. And do you know what that means? There is a place for us, too. Remember the prodigal son? Talk about a welcome! “And when his father saw him, he ran to meet him.” Luke 15:20. In the same way, He shows us His excitement for our homecoming with Him. Jesus was sent by God to release us from the prisons of past guilt, present boredom and future anxiety. He wants us firing on all eight cylinders. He knows what will make us effective and happy. He wants to release our genius. He wants us to be free from the ghosts of the past and prepared for the opportunities of the future. Jesus always has that welcome mat out for anyone who is a Christ follow-

er. He leaves the lights on for us if we want to return home. All He ever tried to do is to put us in a position to succeed. That’s true yesterday, today and forever. Jesus came to earth with solutions to problems. He found a need and met it. He came as a “solutionary.” He brought God’s love into their world. God’s love made flesh changed everything. God’s love is greater and stronger than anything the IRS of that time or the Sons of Thunder could do. God’s love is stronger than anything guilt can do. When formerly lost people stop living the problem and start living the solution, they found their problems started to go away. The scriptures say it this way. “But, God being rich in mercy because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have seen saved) and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus, in order that in the age to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:4-7. You and I are the “ages to come” in the verse. What Jesus did for them He can do for us, too! Jesus still goes to prepare a place for us, even if there is a little crazy in us. You know the verse. “For God so loved the world (us) that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16. Jesus lived to be a “solutionary” and an example for others and many of the problems and bad definitions went away. There’s a lesson here for us when we are misdefined or lied about. Just like Jesus, stop worrying about the problems caused by others and start living the solutions. Be a “solutionary.” Live an exemplary life, live for others, live above the rumors and many problems will go away.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

DIFFICULTY THIS WEEK H

H Moderate HH Challenging HHH HOO BOY!

Each numbered row contains two clues and two answers. The two answers differ from each other by only one letter, which has already been inserted. For example, if you exchange the A from MASTER for an I, you get MISTER. Do not change the order of the letters.

SCRAMBLERS Unscramble the letters within each rectangle to form four ordinary words.

Then rearrange the boxed letters to form the mystery word, which will complete the gag!

Peoria singer shines on four GCU worship albums

BY LAUREN SERRATO

Peoria Times Contributing Writer

Seeing Katie Brown on stage one would never know she was once too shy to perform in front of a crowd. “I would cry if I had to even say my name,” Brown said about her childhood piano recitals. “I would be fine to play but I struggled speaking in front of people.” While Brown admits to being reserved for most of her life, she says Grand Canyon University’s worship arts program helped her gain confidence in herself both as a singer and a songwriter. The GCU program is a Bachelor of Arts degree program that prepares students for future careers in worship ministry and leadership, according to the school’s website. Part of that program allows students

to audition for the chance to have their original song featured on the “Canyon Worship” album. After auditions, 10 students are selected to have their songs produced by professionals in GCU’s recording studio. There have been four albums produced since the start of the program, but Brown is the only student to be featured on every album. Randall Downs, the GCU worship arts coordinator, said Brown’s control and range are just a few of her abilities that make her a great singer. “Katie is extremely talented,” he said. “It was clear to see that she has immense talent both vocally, songwriting and instrumentally.” For this year’s album, Brown auditioned with her original song “Come Up Here.” “The whole song is fantastic,” Downs

said. “The message is so powerful and so beautiful.” Brown said she aimed to make her song real and vulnerable, a type of song that others could relate to. Additionally, she said she hopes the “Canyon Worship” album continues to challenge the social stigma about worship songs. “The way worship music has a way of really going through the hard stuff and walking through life with people has really started a conversation,” she said. Brown said her passion for music began when she entered high school and began singing with her church’s choir. “I really feel like God was calling me to sing for my church and I decided I had to do it,” she said. Growing up in Peoria, Brown was raised in a musical household, as her grandma was in a quartet and her brother also has a passion for music.

However, Brown said her biggest inspiration throughout her singing career has been her vocal teacher, Rena Brown (no relation to Katie). “It was an honor to work with Katie,” Rena Brown said. “She is an exceptional young woman with more than a creative and musical gift, but also a deep love for Jesus and authentic character.” Moving forward after graduating in May, Katie Brown said her dream job would be to teach music to foster kids. She currently is the worship music director at Paradise Church and teaches piano part-time. Brown said she wants to continue with her passion for singing and songwriting. “I love the way that music can speak and move people. It is really powerful and I love that I get to be a part of it by not only listening to it, but creating it,” she said.

Girl Scout who replaces flags honored for patriotic etiquette BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF Peoria’s Audrina Rosales hates to see damaged or overly worn American flags. So, when she sees one around the community, the Girl Scout asks the homeowner or business for permission and replaces it with a new one. Rep. Debbie Lesko (AZ-08) recently honored the local girl’s work by presenting her with Arizona’s District 8 Congressional Recognition. “Audrina’s passion for the American flag is so inspiring,” Lesko said. “She takes the time to retire old flags properly and also educates the community on flag etiquette. Audrina comes from a proud military family, and I am so grateful for their service to our nation. “Thank you, Audrina, for your work in our community to proudly fly our American flag.” Rep. Debbie Lesko awards Audrina Rosales with Arizona’s District 8 Congressional Recognition. (Photo courtesy Rep. Debbie Lesko)
