No new safety plans at Grand Canyon BY CARISSA WIGGINTON Special to Peoria Times
Two nonlife-threatening medical calls came in at once to Grand Canyon National Park’s 911 center one day in late April, and the park’s search-and-rescue team was dispatched. Calls like these aren’t unusual: Last year, the team responded to 265 of them. But the very next day, a 69-year-old Peoria woman plummeted 200 feet to her death in the canyon, becoming the fourth fatality in or near the park in five weeks. It was the third fatality from an accidental fall in the park this year. The woman, Cynthia Ackley, fell from the top of a rocky point of Pipe Creek Vis-
ta, according to park spokeswoman Vanessa Ceja-Cervantes. A call for help had been placed, but park rangers were too late. The three previous fatalities occurred over eight days. On April 3, a 67-year-old man fell about 400 feet below the rim east of Yavapai Geology Museum. A 50-yearold visitor from Hong Kong died on March 28 after he tried to get a photo of Grand Canyon West, according to reports. And the body of a possible foreign national was reportedly found March 26 in a forested area near the South Rim. Park officials said the recent fatalities weren’t out of the ordinary — 17 people die at the Grand Canyon every year — and no safety changes are planned. However, there’s an increased focus on helping the
Long-awaited northern park breaks ground
park’s more than 6 million annual visitors understand the dangers that exist near the edge of a yawning chasm and of hiking in what will become excessively hot weather. “The three (deaths) that we experienced happened in close proximity and time,” park spokesman John Quinley said April 22. “One of them was outside the park, so not within Grand Canyon National Park. There weren’t any common threads among those, you know, so it wasn’t anything particularly bad-weather related or some other event that sort of helped those to occur.” Brandon Torres, the branch chief of emergency services at the park, heads the SEE CANYON PAGE 2

Northern Peoria residents are finally getting a community park they can call their own, with city officials having broke ground on Paloma Community Park April 30. Nearly five years into the planning stages, the celebration kicked off the first stage of the park, which comprises 85 acres east of Lake Pleasant Parkway at Dixileta Road. Construction is expected to officially commence this fall. SEE PARK PAGE 4

search-and-rescue team that’s tasked with ensuring the safety of visitors. “It doesn’t seem like a rash of things to us,” said Torres, who has been with the park for 11 years. “(Falls) happen once or twice a year some years, and some years not at all.” Park staff are faced with the challenge of protecting the beauty of the Grand Canyon while also keeping people safe. Barriers, ropes, signs, railings and interpretive messages — detailing how much water and food hikers should bring and other hiking tips — are safety measures found throughout the canyon. There are a lot of causes for injuries and death in the canyon, ranging from visitors not being prepared for the challenging terrain to bad judgment to slipping on rocks. Torres said the falls over the edge are “super tragic moments, but the vast majority of the time we’re making fantastic saves.” The search-and-rescue team, which is comprised of 75 to 80 law enforcement and emergency services personnel, recovers bodies in the canyon and responds to the 911 calls. “I’ve been a part of some really horrible, tragic investigations,” Torres said. “One where somebody dropped the cap off their camera — not the lens, the little plastic cap — and they scrambled down and ended up falling over. I can think of another one where somebody’s hat blew off and they scrambled over the edge; there’s actually been a
Brandon Torres, the branch chief of emergency services at Grand Canyon National Park, has been at the park for 11 years. He says about the recent deaths: “It doesn’t seem like a rash of things to us.

couple of those.” Quinley said the Grand Canyon hosted 6.3 million visitors last year, which was a couple million more than a few years ago. “By and large, everybody who comes here is safe,” he said. The recent spate of deaths won’t result in changes to existing safety policies, Quinley said. “We look at the statistics and the circumstances, whether they’re injuries or fatalities, and see if there’s some common thread there that can be fixed with a rule change, with a barrier, with different interpretive messages,” he said. But often there isn’t a common theme, he said, or someone ignored the guidelines for a safe visit and did something that wasn’t safe. Torres noted that few areas of the canyon are closed off. “We want this great place to be accessible to the American people and to the people of the world, as much as possible,” he said. Another consideration is the enormity of the Grand Canyon, which is 277 river-miles long. That makes effective enforcement a challenge, he said. If a visitor wants to head off trail or peer over a precipice, Torres said, it better be an isolated event with no distractions or tomfoolery. Quinley said relatively small choices and decisions visitors make at the park can lead to significant consequences. Nancy Meyer of Phoenix visited the
Grand Canyon over spring break with family and friends from New York and England. She said the rules and regulations at the national park “shouldn’t be changed at all.” “It’s such a natural and beautiful thing, and I really believe that people should be responsible and understand what they need to do if they’re going to take more of a hike than a tourist look at the canyon,” Meyer said. “And also be responsible for their own health. You know, the usual that we do when we go to beaches — use sunscreen, drink

May 9, 2019 enough water, hydrate, wear the proper clothing. Mostly common sense.” Linda Zappia of Canandaigua, New York, said the recent deaths had no impact on her trip with family to the canyon. “If people would just put their phone down, look at the beauty of the earth and take it all in, everything will be fine,” Zappia said. In the summer, temperatures rise and visitation spikes — and so do the number of 911 calls. Park officials say temperatures play a significant role in how people perform and how acclimated they are to the heat. “You drop the water bottle and you don’t have that quart of water anymore,” Quinley said. “You decided to skimp on weight, you left some snacks back at your car. Those things can lead to fatigue and difficulties later on in your hike.” Torres and his team are called into action multiple times a day during the summer months. It’s a little slower in January and it picks up mid-June, and then drops again, he said; it’s very much a bell curve. In 2018, the number of search-and-rescue incidents, 265, fell below the 10-year average of 294. Volunteers with the park’s emergency services department are dispersed throughout the canyon’s trails to educate hikers and check to see how they’re feeling and whether they have enough water. Torres said temperatures rise the deeper hikers descend into the canyon. And the margin of error is smaller in the summer. “So your hike is really easy. When you (begin), you just start hiking downhill and it’s fabulous,” he said. “Then there’s that point where you have to turn around and hike back out. And then you realize, ‘Oh, I’m actually at elevation here on the Colorado Plateau. Maybe I’m not used to that. I’m breathing hard. I’m working hard.’ It’s a different setup that maybe not everybody has thought through.” A common occurrence Torres and his team see with hikers is drinking too much water, which dilutes salts in the body and can cause hyponatremia, a serious medical condition involving low levels of sodium in the blood. “We see a lot (of that) here because people are just drinking way too much water and not eating anything,” Torres said. “So it’s a balance. Drink when you’re thirsty, but keep eating.” When search and rescue is disSEE CANYON PAGE 3

City holding hearing on primary property taxes BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF

patched, Torres and his team frequently use the park’s helicopter. Sometimes they try rescue operations by mule, but that doesn’t work if someone has an ankle injury and can’t bear weight on it. If the team carries a person up the trail using a wheel litter, which is a rescue basket with wheels, it’s incredibly labor intensive, Torres said, requiring 20 to 30 people: “It’s hot and we burn people out.” The emergency medical services department runs about 1,200 calls a year, Torres said. Patients sometimes are transported to a clinic adjacent to the team’s headquarters, he said. If not, they’re taken to Flagstaff Medical Center, which is 80 miles away. Torres advises anyone planning to visit the canyon during the heat of the summer to start early and be prepared. “Realize that the Grand Canyon is a very unique hiking experience,” Torres said. “And it’s maybe different than a lot of the other places you hiked before. Look into that and think about the time of year you’re coming and the decisions that you make when you get here.” Moving forward, Quinley said, it’s more about renewing the emphasis on prevention and making sure people are aware of their surroundings. “Understand that, in the case of falls, to just stay a respectful distance back from the rim of the canyon and know where you are at all times,” Quinley said. “Because a small mistake can have serious consequences.” Carissa Wigginton is a reporter for Cronkite News.

The city of Peoria plans to raise its primary property taxes over last year’s level. All interested citizens are invited to attend the public hearing scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 21, 2019, in the Peoria City Council Chamber, 8401 W. Monroe Street. Peoria is proposing an increase in primary property taxes of $208,633 or 5%. For example, the proposed tax increase will cause Peoria’s primary property taxes on a $100,000 home to increase from $27.62 to $29. This proposed increase is exclusive of increased primary property taxes received from new construction. The increase is also exclusive of any changes that may occur from property tax levies for voter-approved bonded indebtedness or budget and tax overrides. The city of Peoria’s fiscal year 2020 total property tax rate is pro-
posed to stay the same as the prior fiscal year, 2019, at $1.44/$100 of assessed value. The secondary rate is $1.15/$100 of assessed value while the primary rate is $0.29/$100 of assessed value. The result is net zero on the total property tax rate. For example, if a $100,000 home did not change in value, then the Peoria property tax levy would still be $144 for both the current year and next year. The taxation hearing information only addresses the primary property tax and does not state the equal amount of decrease in the secondary property tax, which equates to a zero net change in Peoria’s total property tax rate. However, Peoria has both a primary and a secondary property tax. Any change in a Peoria property tax bill is due to assessed valuation changes in a home. For additional information, contact the city of Peoria budget office at 623-773-7174.

PARK FROM PAGE 1
Phase one, expected to be complete by next summer, will include baseball and soccer fields; a fishing lake; playgrounds; a splash pad; open, multi-use fields; children’s playgrounds; group and individual picnic ramadas; a large, all-inclusive dog park; lighted pickleball courts; supporting park maintenance; restrooms and concession buildings. Further down the road the park will increase to 120 acres and also include a recreation center at the base of West Wing Mountain. Four more lighted baseball fields, up to six more soccer fields, several sand volleyball courts, and another trailhead outfitted with horse trails and equestrian parking are also planned sometime in the future. Development and Engineering Director Adina Lund recently told Peoria Times phase two will be designed next summer with the support of further community input. She said it is expected to be complete in late 2022. “I have been wanting a park in
the northern part of the city to balance the amenities that we have in other parts of our city for as long as I can remember,” Mayor Cathy Carlat said at the ceremonial groundbreaking. “I have been pounding on the dais saying we need more lighted fields. We need more community parks that will serve a lot more people than we are serving right now. I just can’t wait to see what it is going to look like. And it all begins with the first turning of a shovel of dirt.” Council approved a $34.4 million contract for construction of the park with Hunter Contracting Company. The total budget for the first phase is estimated to cost more than $41 million. Peoria City Council recently approved $33 million in general obligation bonds for the funding of various community projects including Paloma Community Park. Nearly $20 million of the bonds will aid the park. Once the park is completed, staff estimates the net ongoing operating costs to be approximately $1,333,100, broken down as fol-
lows: $806,000 for personal costs, $736,600 for contractual and commodity costs, and $209,500 to offset anticipated revenue. The costs include funding for six fulltime maintenance workers, a mechanic, two park rangers, and seasonal employees (part-time employees without benefits). “The mayor has led this project and consistently voiced the importance of hard work, passion and dedication of a lot of people,” said John Sefton, who is the city’s parks, recreation and community facilities director. “Mayor Carlat has led the project and consistently voiced the importance of parks, recreation and the access to open spaces — three critical elements that help build a complete city and ultimately our very special Peoria.” Citizens began requesting a new community park in Northern Peoria around 2014, and initial funding for a study was completed in 2016. A request for proposal was posted in early 2017, and city staff began searching for the needed open land later that year.
The land east of Lake Pleasant Parkway at Dixileta Road, which is owned by Maricopa County Flood Control District, was ultimately selected after a search throughout the city yielded it as the best possible choice. Aside from its primary amenities, Paloma Community Park is projected to include numerous walking tails and loops and provide access into the New River open space as well as future connectivity to Peoria’s Westwing Mountain trails. Council approved the name, Community Park, last summer. “Paloma” is Spanish for “dove.” County Supervisor Clint Hickman, who represents District 4, which includes the new park, said Paloma is a good example of two government entities working together to bring a park to land that otherwise probably wouldn’t have been used for anything other than flood protection. “Now it is going to be turned into a fantastic amenity for Peoria and Maricopa County residents,” Hickman said. “I couldn’t be happier for everyone in the area.”

Sanderson Ford tackles impaired driving through innovative simulation suit BY ANDREA ESTRADA Peoria Times Staff Writer
In an effort to prevent traffic accidents, injuries and fatalities involving drivers under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, Sanderson Ford held a first-of-its-kind impaired-driving simulation test run in late April, where attendees — alongside a driving instructor — navigated through a safety driving course wearing Ford Motor Company’s “Impaired Driving Suit.” The suit — equipped with earmuffs that impair hearing; vision impairment glasses; neck, elbow and knee bandages that slow movement; wrist and ankle weights that affect balance; and a bracelet-like device that vibrates — mimics the effects alcohol and/or drugs may have on a driver. Jenny Kester, a spokeswoman for Sanderson Ford, said the purpose of the suit — which is part of Ford Motor Company’s Ford Driving Skills for Life,
a program that provides newly-licensed teens with hands-on and web-based safe driving curriculum — is to draw attention to the consequences of driving under the influence. “The main goal is to provide aware-
ness to the community about the dangers of drunk driving and just being impaired while driving,” Kester said. The magnitude of those dangers mentioned by Kester are reflected through statistics. According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, 29%, or 10,874, of the 37,133 fatal motor vehicle crashes in 2017 were alcohol-impaired driving fatalities. “Over 10,000 a year died in drunk driving, and 1,200 of those were children. It’s just awful for anyone to have to deal with that,” Kester said. And Kester added it’s especially important to raise awareness among the youth this time of the year. “There’s a lot of drivers that are coming out from graduation. It’s that time of the year. Obviously, foremost, we want to prevent underage people from driving — but just to let them know, if they do find themselves in a situation, how dangerous it is.” The suit offers drivers a first hand perspective to impaired driving, Kester said. “Because it’s one thing to tell somebody how dangerous drunk driving is, but if they get to experience it in a safe environment then maybe it can prevent people from doing it.”
Dunn to replace Leone as interim Pine councilmember BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
For the first time in 20 years, Pine District residents have a new representative. City Council appointed Planning and Zoning Commissioner Denette Dunn on April 30 to fill the vacancy left by the resignation of longtime councilman Carlo Leone. Dunn previously ran against Leone — who resigned on April 16 due to health reasons — in the 2018 election, but lost by 21% of the vote. Dunn will be the interim councilmember until a special election on August 27. If during the special election no candidate gets 50% of the vote, a regular election would be held November 5. “I am grateful, humbled and honored to be approved to represent the Peoria Pine District as we are a diverse community full of very hard-working, beautiful people,” Dunn told The Glendale Star. “We all deserve a safe and clean community and city to live work and play in. I will work hard for those I serve and work collaboratively with others to get what needs to be done in Peoria and the Pine District accomplished. I will continue to be engaged and invite those in the community to contact me directly
should they have input on how we can all work and thrive in the Pine District and our great city of Peoria. Council selected Dunn over Veterans Memorial Wall Board member Eric Gagomiros. Dunn was unanimously approved and sworn in April 29 by Peoria Municipal Judge George Anagnost. Dunn and Gagomiros were the only two to submit vacancy applications by the April 26 deadline. The application included questions about work, education and volunteer experience, as well as issues facing Peoria. During the special session, each candidate had three minutes to present a prepared statement to council. Each councilmember then had the opportunity to ask questions of the candidate. After a brief deliberation, council provided feedback on their decisions and then voted unanimously to appoint Dunn. Councilmembers pointed to Dunn’s being involved with public service and her participation in the city’s Peoria Leadership classes, as well as her being the planning and zoning commissioner as well as a focus being accessible to everyone in the community. Dunn brings with her experience in business management, marketing and communications. In addition, she has served on the planning and zoning commission since fall 2018. Dunn listed
water conservation, public transportation and street maintenance as the three top issues facing the city.

“I am working hard to meet with those I serve while touring the Pine District with our Peoria department heads and staff to identify and address immediate community needs,” Dunn said. “I am meeting and speaking with residents, listening and gaining more knowledge from my community about what they want from their councilperson and city.” Some other priorities, she added
while speaking with The Glendale Star, are to address increased access to public health and safety service; maintain and repair roads and walkways as well as find solutions for increased public transportation in the densely-populated south; make Americans with Disabilities Act services more affordable; and clean up parks and improve amenities. While her current focus is on fulfilling her interim time on the council, she is eager to run again in August. “There are always differing opinions,” Dunn said. “I will listen and pay attention to all I serve. We will continue to learn and work together as our city grows. Together our community will thrive.” While she said she has not spoken to former councilmember Leone, she was quick to thank him for his years in office. “I have not spoken to Mr. Leone recently and I am respectful of his privacy while he deals with his health, but I would like to thank him for serving our community for 20 years,” Dunn said. “I used to wave to him when he ran every morning on my way to work and there are many in the Pine District who I have spoken to who share this fond memory. (Leone), I wish you and your family well and my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.”

BY PEORIA TIMES STAFF A subsidiary of EVO Transportation and Energy Services Inc., an alternative fuel services company and emerging transportation operator, was awarded 117 delivery service contracts from the USPS across 29 states. The contracts range from three to six years in duration and will bring in over $8 million in annual revenue. Thunder Ridge Transport Inc.’s new contracts began last month, with 130 new delivery vans expected to take on the bulk of deliveries. “The addition of these contracts marks another step forward for EVO as we continue to utilize our national scale and position ourselves to be the preferred supplier to the US Postal Service,” said John Yeros, CEO of EVO. The vans will service the USPS with final mile deliveries in rural areas across the United States, which marks the first time EVO will be servicing
this segment. Historically, the company has operated in the long haul and local/area-wide markets. “The new contracts showcase our expanded capabilities as we broaden our operations to begin final mile delivery services for the first time,” Yeros said. “We believe this provides an additional competitive advantage when bidding for upcoming contracts and will continue to attract additional companies in this niche to join our growing platform.”

Man missing after diving at Lake Pleasant BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
The Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office is searching for the body of a diver who went missing at Lake Pleasant early in the evening of May 4. The MCSO dive team was dispatched to the lake around 5:53 p.m. after the man went diving with friends and never returned to their campsite.
The fellow divers said a group of three men had gone for some recreational diving, but the missing man never returned to land. The exact location where the man went missing is unclear, although officials said crews are stationed near the dam, in that vicinity of where they are searching. Peoria Fire officials confirmed the search is being classified as a body recovery operation and that the identity of the alleged victim has not been identified at press time.

woman during massage BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
A Peoria massage therapist has been arrested on accusations of sexually assaulting a client, after a woman reported she had been inappropriately touched during a massage. Peoria police reported that Anthony Joseph Pagliaro, 58, was arrested at his home office near 83rd Avenue and Beardsley Road on May 2. Police began investigating Pagliaro March 20 after a female client reported she was sexually assaulted at his home office that day. The victim reported to police that she was a return client of Pagliaro, who she used as a massage therapist when he worked for a chiropractic office. During the massage, the victim said Pagliaro began sexually touching her, and she thought to herself, “Is he really doing this?” She reportedly told him, “I’m not here to have sex.” The victim told police she was fearful for her life as Pagliaro is a full foot
taller and more than 150 pounds heavier than her. She later excused herself to the restroom, got dressed and left the home, after which she reported the incident to the police. In a recorded conversation with the

victim, Pagliaro allegedly admitted the sexual touching was nonconsensual and blamed the incident on “male stupidity.” Pagliaro is being held on a $50,000 bond for sexual abuse and sexual assault.

Attack on Ducey’s Easter message was tiresome BY DAVID LEBOWITZ Peoria Times Columnist
The first time I ever heard the phrase “go to the mattresses” was in the Mafia masterpiece “The Godfather.” Vito Corleone is near death in a hospital bed, shot down by a rival Mob family. The Don’s hotheaded oldest boy, Sonny, demands revenge. Tom Hagen, the consigliere, urges caution, but Sonny will have none of it. He wants the man who ordered the hit on his father executed — end of story. “If not, it’s all-out war,” Sonny screams. “We go to the mattresses.” The phrase refers to the Mob stocking safe houses with mattresses back in the day, so street soldiers could hunker down before battle. It’s a great descriptor, even more so today. In 21st century America, we’re determined to go to the mattresses over every last slight.
For example, a group called the Secular Coalition for Arizona went to the mattresses the other day against Gov. Doug Ducey. Ducey’s sin? He posted an Easter greeting on his official governor’s Facebook page. Ducey’s post, which went up on Easter Sunday, included the phrase “He is risen!” – a reference to Jesus. The governor wished one and all “a happy and blessed Easter.” The accompanying graphic displayed a cross and cited John 11:25, a passage which reads: “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though may he die, he shall live.’” Dianne Post, a lawyer for the Secular Coalition, fired off a three-page screed to Ducey on the subject, including a lecture on the U.S. and Arizona Constitutions, references to multiple Supreme Court rulings, and a demand for action — to be explained in writing. As Post put it: “On behalf of citizens and taxpayers, we urge you to remove the effusive
Easter greeting that is much too tied to religion from the Facebook page and to desist in the future from expressing such religious sentiment on government property or time. The government must respect the rights of conscience of all citizens, including those who in good conscience reject belief in a god.” Ducey’s reponse? A firm “screw you” via Facebook. “We won’t be removing this post. Ever,” the governor wrote. “Nor will we be removing our posts for Christmas, Hanukkah, Rosh Hashanah, Palm Sunday, Passover or any other religious holiday.” I’m going to side with Ducey here, despite the fact the most religious I get in any given year is a secular Christmas celebration that involves a few gifts, some carols sung by Crosby and Sinatra and studiously avoiding all beverages described as “nog.” My rationale has nothing to do with a close reading of the First Amendment or me being okay with blurring the lines between church

and state. I’m with Ducey because this is a dumb fight — a skirmish not worth going to the mattresses over. The governor is Catholic. He’s never hidden it; his religion quite clearly informs his politics. However, Ducey has never attempted to proselytize on behalf of the Church. Nor has he tried to turn his office into a recruitment arm for Christianity. Doing so would clearly would violate the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment — and they’d be worth a fight. I read Ducey’s Easter greeting as the governor being polite as opposed to political, effervescent as opposed to fervent. By contrast, Post read it as a hostile act, one that called for the lawyer’s equivalent of a declaration of war. As someone who’s watched “The Godfather” at least 20 times, I keep recalling how Sonny’s foolish insistence on going to the mattresses worked out for Don Vito’s eldest boy. Sonny, as another old saying goes, ended up being dead right.

The dangers of not vaccinating
who can’t choose. If not for your own child, vaccinate for my friends, my classmates and-
My peers, classmates and friends are in danger. However, this problem isn’t some uncontrollable accident or unpredictable tragedy; instead, the solution is readily available and has been for many years. This problem is that of unvaccinated children in Arizona’s public schools. There are some who cannot be vaccinated because their immune systems are unable to withstand the dose of weakened virus in a vaccine. Those of us who are healthy can protect them with a simple concept: herd immunity. If more than 95% of a group is immune to a disease, those who are unable to be vaccinated would be protected in the case of an outbreak of diseases like measles, mumps and tuberculosis. Despite this simple solution, the Peoria Times found that 66 schools in the West Valley alone do not meet that critical threshold. This inadequacy endangers the vulnerable, some of whom are my friends and classmates. Please, parents, vaccinate your children. Vaccines have worked for decades and your misinformed choice endangers those
my peers. Cameron Deal Peoria
Focus on affordable health care It was interesting to see the Congressional Budget Office (nonpartisan) come out with an analysis of Medicare for All this week. The report said it would create longer wait times and reduce people’s access to care. They don’t even tackle the cost angle, because it’s impossible to predict how much it will cost us in tax dollars. I know the Democrats running for president need to hang their hats on major policy changes, but maybe they should all fight for improving the Affordable Care Act instead and getting more folks insurance coverage that’s affordable. It’s how moderates like Kyrsten Sinema won their seats, and it can be how Democrats improve the lives of the everyday American. Mary McGuirk Phoenix

Tim Finnegan’s celebrates Irish culture, food BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Peoria Times Executive Editor
David Gill had a highly desirable job working for “Law and Order” producer Dick Wolf’s shows when 12,000 film and TV screenwriters went on strike. He needed a way to make money, so he looked toward his friends in Los Angeles. “I have friends who own restaurants in Los Angeles,” Gill said. “I started working for a place in a very sought-after area. It was small, but they packed them in, and they were only open from 4 to 11 p.m.” Gill began working as a dishwasher and eventually persuaded his friends to let him bartend. When the strike ended, he balanced his TV and restaurant jobs before heading back to Arizona. “I was just ready to move back to Phoenix and have my family and stuff and the rest is history,” Gill said. With experience at California restaurants and as general manager at Tim Finnegan’s Irish Restaurant and Pub, Gill took the Irish restaurant/bar in December 2017, when it moved from Metro Center to Glendale. The relocation led to the rebirth of the restaurant, which was under the same umbrella as Fibber McGee’s in Chandler and the Skeptical Chymist in North Scottsdale. The owners wanted to close the restaurant, but Gill persuaded them to move to Glendale.

“There are about 5,000 people out there who are part of our social media and email blast who weren’t too receptive of us letting it go,” said Gill, who graduated from Ironwood High School. “It’s not that we did it just for them. I wanted to move into the community I grew up in. I went to school down the road. It’s nice to relocate and keep the brand alive. A lot of the

But what’s more important than desserts made with Irish liquors and beer? Bailey’s bread pudding, Guinness chocolate brownie and Bailey’s tiramisu are Irish spins on traditional
desserts ($8). Gill purchases the food fresh and the dishes are made to order. The sauces are created in-house, while the fries are cut by hand. Bread is made daily. “We’re as scratch as possible,” Gill said. “I take a lot of pride in it. People came go anywhere and grab a burger. They can go anywhere and grab a salad. A lot of fast-food restaurants are ordering that stuff now.
Tim Finnegan’s had a national boost, thanks to the success of Phoenix “American Idol” contestant Wade Cota, who’s in the top five. Before his turn on “Idol,” he hosted open mic at the restaurant. In turn, Tim Finnegan’s invites his family, friends and the public there to watch “American Idol.” “We get phone calls all the time about random things like, ‘You should name a soda after him called Dakota Soda.’ I told him we’d name a sandwich after him. He sent his ingredients and we’re going to introduce it soon.” Tim Finnegan’s was featured during a backstory segment about Cota on “Idol.” He was asked to sign nondisclosure paperwork, something he was familiar with during his time in the TV industry.

“We weren’t allowed to tell anybody that ‘American Idol’ was coming here to film,” he said. “However, there were big signs outside that said ‘American Idol’ was filming. We’re definitely cheering him on.”

Desert Dolls Roller Derby provides unique sport for women BY ERIC NEWMAN Peoria Times Staff Writer
The sound of dozens of plastic wheels whirring on the track is audible even outside the Desert Dolls Roller Derby headquarters on West Indian School Road
during practice. The athletes, who practice around three times a week for competitions at the Peoria Sportsplex on weekends, whiz around the track, practice falls and recoveries and improve their agility. A high-contact, competitive

sport in which teams of five skaters battle for position skating counter-clockwise on a track to score points and determine a winner, roller derby is one of the world’s fastest-growing sports, according to BusinessInsider. com. “How many female sports are there that you can really plow someone over? This might be it,” Desert Dolls President Sarah Elmquist said. More than a decade ago, Elmquist saw a social media post looking for women interested in trying out for the club. She dragged her partner — now club operations manager Christina Gerrish — out to a competition, and knew within minutes she wanted to get involved. After years of practice and competition, Elmquist desired a change of clubs, and a few women from different leagues formed Desert Dolls together in 2009. Since then, the club has grown much larger, boasting a travel team and three house teams that
play against a sister league in Queen Creek. The number of participants ebbs and flows due to injury, time concerns and other commitments, but participation rates have stayed consistently high. “I’ve loved seeing how it’s grown,” Gerrish said. The goal of the Desert Dolls, much like the sport of roller derby itself, is about being inclusive. One of Gerrish’s first reactions to watching derby was the positive impact it had on women’s lives. It allowed them to be aggressive, strong, powerful and confident in a way they might not have found otherwise. With different roles on the track, each needing different skills, a variety of body types are not only welcomed, but necessary for success. “It’s empowering all you can do out here, and the way we’ve seen people change because of it,” Gerrish said.

Rugby matchup to showcase sport at Pioneer Park BY DARRELL JACKSON Peoria Times Staff Writer
In an effort to build up the reputation of the sport, the new Arizona Bobcats Rugby will host a match-up against the Nike national team from San Diego on Saturday, May 11, at Pioneer Park. Rugby is a team sport that delivers significant social and health benefits to which Gregor said his team is focused on bringing awareness in the state. The sport is physically demanding, so he said players should be physically and mentally prepared and understand safe play. “Nike Rugby Camps in San Diego offer camps for boys and girls as well as our new partnership with the Major League Rugby Legion (MLR),” Bobcats coach Ian Gregor said. “We have been expanding now into under 16s and having an open division and elite division team. This will help us expand the development for the players. We’re trying to build depth. It breeds success for a longer plan down the road.” The sport is quickly growing in the United States, as Major League Rugby — started in 2017 — currently has nine teams from California; Washington; Utah; Colorado; Texas; Louisiana; Georgia; Washington, D.C.; Maine and Canada.

the match-up will assist the sport in Arizona for the future. “Currently, our men’s and women’s National 7s teams are ranked in the top four of the world, and in position to receive automatic bids to the 2020 Olympic Games,” Gregor said. “We also have a nine team (soon to be 12) professional league called Major League Rugby.” Gregor said the match-up with the Nike team has been in the works for quite some time. “We have been trying to set up this game with Nike since October,” Gregor said. “For the Bobcats we are using the Nike match as a warm-up match for our varsity side as they prepare to compete in the Regional Cup Tournament in Denver,

Colorado, in June 2019.” A new academy, Arizona Bobcats Rugby focuses on identifying Arizona youth Rugby players between the ages of 13 and 18 who compete in tournaments across the United States. The academy is a member of the National High School 7s circuit at the under-18 level. Coaches are involved in the state-based rugby union and work to identify players they feel would compete well at a higher level. Additionally, they offer clinics and identification camps throughout the year, as Gregor said they believe young players can be developed to compete nationally if given the time and attention. “We really are focused on identifying Arizona youth fugby players from the ages of 13 to 18 to compete in tournaments across the United States,” Gregor said. Gregor added that he hopes the match-up will entertain fans, as well as show that the sport is about more than just knocking people down. “Most people unfamiliar with the sport believe it is just football without pads and played only by those lacking common sense,” Gregor said. “In reality, rugby is a physical sport, but with very specific laws rather than rules that help to ensure order and far fewer injuries than most would believe.

When you start hating, you stop thinking When Leonardo da Vinci was working on his wonderful painting of “The Last Supper,” he painted the face of a man he hated as Judas. But when he came to paint the face of Jesus he tried again and again and failed. It was only when he painted out the face of the man he hated and put another in its place that he had a clear picture of the Lord’s countenance. His hatred, you see, had created a “dead spot” between him and the work he was doing. His hatred of the man had to be put right before even his marvelous ability would produce one of the greatest works of all time. Today, let’s address an issue that’s all around us. It’s thick in the atmosphere. It’s called hate. If we don’t recognize this current “hate climate” change, we will become like it. Honestly, I’m going to hate writing
CHURCH COMMUNITY CONNECTION Pastor Ed Delph Church-Community Connection
this article on hate. I like my articles positive and hopeful. But this one is helpful. You would think no one would want negative, divisive stuff all the time. But media ratings show us a different picture. These days hate, conflict, strife and war sell more than love, truth, unity and peace. Hate increases media profits. Hate destroys relationships, people, countries and understanding. Hate creates an us-them, win-lose and right-wrong adversarial climate. Hate is the conquest of the hyphen, dividing and subtracting rather than

multiplying and adding. As hate increases, love decreases. Jesus revealed a future time when people’s love will grow cold and hate would grow hot. “At that time, many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.” Notice the progression. People who used to be different but still get along separate and betray one another. That produces hate. Then there will be false voices who mislead, pouring fuel on the fire of hate, making good things bad and vice versa. Then comes lawlessness, where the end justifies the means. Where you hate who is not for you. Then real love for most is far and away. Did you know actual physical changes in our brain occur when hate is activated? Here’s an excerpt of an article written by Esther Inglis-Arkell of The Daily Explainer on November 10, 2014. It’s entitled, “Here’s What Your Brain Is Doing When You Really, Really Hate Someone.” “Scientists have spotted the parts of the brain that light up when we actively hate someone. In 2008, two scientists decided to launch a study to investigate whether the emotion of hatred was rooted in some consistent biology. They asked subjects to stare first at the picture of a person the subjects had neutral feelings toward, and then at the picture of someone they hated. The subjects did this while hooked up to an MRI, allowing the researchers to see which parts of the brain were activated and deactivated. Doctors Zeki and Romaya were gratified to find that everyone in the study hated individuals the same way. “The parts of the brain activated — the medial frontal gyrus, the right putamen, the medial insula and the premotor cortex — have come to be known as the ‘hate circuit.’ The premotor cortex is one part of the brain that springs into action when people have feelings of aggression. When we hate, at least part of us
is preparing for a physical attack. The frontal gyrus deals with selfawareness and is involved in go/ no-go decisions. The putamen gets engaged when people are in love, but it also activates when people feel contempt or disgust. The putamen also lights up when a person is planning aggressive acts. “Hate is characterized not just by areas of brain activity but by areas of brain inactivity. The superior frontal gyrus is correlated with selfawareness and laughter, so it’s not surprising that it’s repressed when a person hates. The section that is deactivated is near a section of the brain which, when repressed, seems to increase obsessive-compulsive behavior. When we hate, we fail to laugh, and we may get a bit obsessive.” In other words, when you start hating, you stop thinking logically. Here are some dark rewards of hate. If you hate, you will be like Leonardo da Vinci painting the person’s face you hate on everything and everyone you see. You’ll become obsessive. You’ll lose perspective. Your insight will disappear. No amount of logic will change you. Hating is like burning your own house down to kill a rat. Hating is the tail wagging the dog. You become what you focus on. Author C.S. Lewis enlightens us further: “I remember Christian teachers telling me I must hate a bad man’s actions but not the man. I used to think this a silly, straw-splitting distinction: How could you hate what a man did and not hate the man? But years later it occurred to me that there was one man to whom I had been doing this to all my life — namely, myself.” You see, hating is self-punishment in disguise. Let’s build a bridge over the troubled waters of hate and get over it!
