Schools online for rest of year BY TOM SCANLON
Glendale Star Managing Editor
The saying “leave no child behind” may have to change to “leave no child offline.” School is out—but in, online. Gov. Doug Ducey announced March 30 the extension of school closures through the end of the school year. Now, districts like Peoria Unified School District must refine plans to continue teaching, in line with Ducey’s orders. For the likes of Linda Palles Thompson, superintendent of Peoria Unified School District for the last three years, “This is quite extraordinary.” Palles Thompson has been with the district for 30 years. Though the district, which serves

Gov. Doug Ducey had a doubleheader of sorts March 30, first declaring school closures to be extended for the rest of the school year, then issuing a “Stay home” executive order. The directives came with COVID-19 positive tests rising sharply—from nine cases on March 21 to 791 this week. Ducey ordered Arizonans, starting March 31, to “limit their time away from their place of residence.”
The Glendale
However, the order is far from the “lockdown” some states have implemented. Ducey’s order has exceptions for people to “participate in essential activities,” including employment in previously deemed essential businesses and for those who are sole proprietors (or family-owned business) “and the business is not open to serve the public.” And Ducey allows people “to utilize any services or products provided by essential business services.”

A long list of “essential services” released by Ducey on March 23 includes health care providers, pharmacies, banks, hardware stores, food banks, gas stations, parks, golf courses, barber shops, salons, photography stores, dry cleaners, hotels and motels, firearms and ammunition stores and pawn shops. “I’m still open,” said Lenny Aulov, of Lenny’s Barbershop in Glendale March 31, adding he had too many customers to talk.

And Ducey encouraged Arizonans to continue “developing habits and activities that increase resilience, such as physical activity.” Restaurants are one of the businesses that Ducey previously deemed “essential,” so eateries may remain open for takeout and delivery. Going to a restaurant to pick up food would qualify as “participate in essential services.” Ducey previously ordered restaurants to provide only takeout and delivery meals, with no in-restaurant eating. The news of Ducey’s announcement hit home—literally, especially for seniors who are already isolating. “It is not easy being isolated, but every day I realize how important it is to stay away from others,” said Jane Bachmann, 79, a longtime Glendale resident. “The news about the coronavirus is scary.” C.J. Unzen, a senior living in Litchfield Park, gave Ducey’s order the thumbs up. “I absolutely agree with the stay-at-home mandate,” she said. “It’s the only way to keep this insidious virus from spreading. “Other than daily walks for the dogs and an occasional bike ride, my husband and I have not gone anywhere. We order groceries online and have them delivered.” Ducey stressed that people should continue to exercise and communicate, while praciticng social distancing. “Keeping Arizonans safe and healthy as we slow the spread of COVID-19 remains our top priority,” he said. “It’s important to emphasize that there are no plans to shut down grocery stores. People should continue to buy what you need for a week’s worth of groceries,” he added. Ducey’s order came shortly after officials in New York, Louisiana and other hard-hit states said they were running low on medical supplies. “Slowing the spread of COVID-19 will ensure we build capacity in our healthcare system, and help protect the lives of those we love most,” Ducey said. “I’m grateful to everyone making adjustments to fight this virus and protect others. Arizona will get through

this, and we’ll do it together.” Ducey’s order noted, “Arizonans are also encouraged to improve social connectedness” by maintaining communication with family and friends. The governor also encouraged people to continue “developing habits and activities that increase resilience, such as physical activity, virtual social gatherings, assisting neighbors, implementing or participating in connection campaigns for at risk populations and participating in volunteer activities.” Ducey provided a list of “essential activities” that people may continue to do, including: • Obtaining necessary supplies and services for family, household members and pets, such as groceries, food and supplies for household consumption and use, supplies and equipment needed to work from home, assignments for completion of distance learning and products necessary to maintain safety, sanitation and essential maintenance of the home or residence. • Engaging in activities essential for health and safety, including things such as seeking medical, behavioral health
or emergency services and obtaining medical supplies or medication. • Caring for a family member, friend or pet in another household or residence, which includes but is not limited to transportation for essential health and safety activities and to obtain necessary supplies and services for the other household. • Engaging in outdoor exercise activities, such as walking, hiking, running, biking or golfing, but only if appropriate physical distancing practices are used. • Attending work or conducting essential services, which includes but is not limited to transporting children to child care services for attending work in an essential service. • Engaging in constitutionally protected activities such as speech and religion, the democratic process to include voting any legal or court process provided that such is conducted in a manner that provides appropriate physical distancing to the extent feasible.

“Our curriculum department took everything we could find and put it online, so our kids knew before (March 23), ‘Here’s what you’re going to be doing Monday morning,’” Palles Thompson said. For those who did not have computers or online access, “Teachers were delivering books to homes,” she added. Last week, PUSD’s technology specialists started formatting and handing out laptops, delivering them in a similar fashion to the drive-thru meal sites. Last week, PUSD provided 2,164 laptops to high school students. “We’re offering a whole lot of online classes. We’ve been looking at personalized learning for a number of years,” Palles Thompson said. The Learning at Home PUSD website, peoriaunified.org/Page/5362, offers information on how to pick up a laptop as well as a link to Cox Communications, which is offering the first two months free for qualifying families with children. The PUSD site also has links to

Similarly, Glendale Unified High School District has online learning resources, laptop checkout, internet access and meal information available on its website, guhsdaz.org. The Deer Valley Unified School District site, dvusd.org, has similar information on its COVID-19 page.
The Class of 2020
Palles Thompson noted she is putting “a big focus on (high school) seniors,” and met with student council presidents last week on a video conference call. She said no decisions had been made on the two big spring events, prom and graduation. “If we have to cancel prom, hopefully we can reschedule it in October or whenever this is over,” Palles Thompson said. “As far as prom goes, we’re telling students, ‘If you bought a dress, keep the tags on it.’ With graduation, a lot of families

The PUSD superintendent sees Ducey’s challenge to continue teaching while schools are physically closed as “a wonderful opportunity” with options for creativity. “It’s wide open. The wonderful focus able to go back to this thing called learning. It doesn’t have testing affiliated with it; it just has learning. There’s creativity on the part of our teachers. What do we want our children to learn?” Palles Thompson said. “I think we’re going to come out of this better in our education with the things we are training our teachers on,” she concluded. “Our teachers are getting so innovative. This will be a positive thing.” Two days before Ducey’s extension of closures through the end of the year, Palles Thompson was confident PUSD will provide for its students. “There’s no rush for us to return,” she said. “The safety and well-being of our students is number one.” And she characterized the unprecedented time we are in as a learning experience. “People become heroes when there’s adversity. My team is filled with heroes,” Palles Thompson said. “And my (high school) seniors weren’t alive during 9/11. This is their moment. They’re going to be telling their children, ‘During COVID-19, this is what I did.”

Benevilla continues to help seniors with free service BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF During the COVID-19 pandemic, with those older than 60 being encouraged to stay home, Benevilla is continuing to assist homebound seniors. “We pair a Benevilla volunteer with a senior in need of grocery shopping assistance,” said Taylor Gurney, Benevilla’s director of marketing. Benevilla volunteers assist seniors with grocery shopping and making necessary medical appointments. (Photo courtesy Benevilla)
“There is no income requirement; it is simply based on the need.” Benevilla continues to offer free essential home services for older adults who may need extra help including grocery shopping, assisted transportation to essential medical appointments, “phone pals” and emergency errands. Gurney encouraged West Valley seniors in need to call Benevilla at 623584-4999. “We are strongest when we work together,” said Joanne Thomson, president and CEO of Benevilla. “Now is the time to support those in our community who are vulnerable and need us the most.” Gurney noted Benevilla volunteers are being instructed to practice social distancing when serving seniors. “Volunteers are encouraged to not enter the homes of our Home Services members but instead place groceries, prescriptions and other essential items on the front porch for pickup when available,” Gurney said. “Phone Pal volunteers are able to provide a much needed wellness check and help combat isolation from the comfort and safety of their own homes.”
Gurney noted transportation volunteers are currently following a new protocol including: only four-door vehicles may be used, Home Services members are to ride in the backseat, volunteers will watch from the car to ensure members make it inside their appointment, Benevilla volunteers will then wait in the parking lot to return their member home. Assistance in and out of the vehicle will be limited. All Benevilla volunteers and Home Services members are required to pass a COVID-19 Risk Assessment Questionnaire prior to each service. “We are currently onboarding quite a few volunteers,” Gurney said. “We are at the point now where we really need to get the word out about services, as we have so much community support ready to help our seniors. “We are also asking if people aren’t comfortable or able to support us by volunteering that any donations are greatly appreciated to help us continue to be able to serve those in need.” Tax-deductible donations for Arizona Gives Day can be made through April 7, with a donor matching all donations dollar for dollar for the first $5,000 donated. “Now is the time when we need it most,” Gurney said. Donations to Benevilla can be made online at azgives.org/benevilla, by phone at 623-584-4999 or by mail to Benevilla P.O. Box 8450, Surprise, AZ 85374. Those interested in volunteering with Benevilla to help neighbors can apply at benevilla.org; for more information, call 623-584-4999. Started by the community and for the community in 1981, Benevilla is a nonprofit human services agency dedicated to enriching the lives of West Valley residents by serving older adults, adults with disabilities, children and the families who care for them.

Senior meals program takes on new importance BY HALEIGH KOCHANSKI
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Since 2014, Meals of Joy has been providing home-delivered meals throughout the West Valley to older residents. During the COVID-19 pandemic, those older than 60 are encouraged to stay home and avoid contact with others. Meals of Joy is now taking on new importance. “Our office has been flooded with calls,” said Vicki Swinford, office manager of Meals of Joy. In January, the Litchfield Parkbased nonprofit was providing about 175 meals per week. The number has doubled and is expected to triple once a new partnership launches April 1. That’s when Meals of Joy will start partnering with the city of Surprise during the pandemic to deliver fresh meals at no cost to seniors 62 and older, and those with disabilities 55 and older. The temporary, federally funded
program is designed to help at-risk residents obtain meals while maintaining social distancing. “We’re so excited to be able to partner with the city of Surprise on this,” said Goodyear resident Larry Cervarich, founder of Meals of Joy. “There are a lot of seniors out there who aren’t really aware of us and the services we provide.” While the temporary Surprise program is offered without charge, other Meals of Joy home-delivered meals are $10 to $12 each. “It’s a simplified system,” Cervarich said of the program’s monthly menu offered by mail or online. “You look at the menu like you’re in a restaurant and choose what you’d like to eat. When the volunteers come to your door, you know exactly what you’re going to get.” Volunteers prepare the meals in the kitchen of the Fountain of Life Lutheran Church in Sun City; they are delivered by volunteer drivers.

ilizing insulated bags used to carry hot and cold items, and requiring staff and volunteers to wear plastic disposable gloves and maintain social distancing measures. With the rising demand of applications, Meals of Joy officials say they could use more community support. “Like any nonprofit, you’re always hoping to have donations to help your cause and take care of what your mission is,” Cervarich said.

As the country faces the coronavirus pandemic, there is a national blood shortage. “It’s critical for healthy eligible Americans to give blood,” said Dr. Ralph Vassallo, Vitalant chief medical and scientific officer. “Both the U.S. surgeon general and FEMA have declared blood donation as an essential function that cannot be disrupted. Not having enough blood to meet basic patient needs will cause yet another public health crisis.” Healthy people are urgently needed to schedule a blood donation appointment today at vitalant.org or 877-25-VITAL (1-877-258-4825). Blood donors save the lives of patients like 4-year-old Adelyn, who received her 64th blood transfusion on March 25. She was born with Diamond-Blackfan anemia, a rare disorder that prevents her body from producing
or our clinicians at risk for contracting the virus. “While it’s not intended to replace in-person care visits, it will help reduce patient volumes at care sites so we can serve those who need care the most.” Health care experts are recommending virtual urgent care for patients with less severe symptoms of COVID-19, such as low-grade fever, a cough or
shortness of breath. People with mild symptoms who are evaluated virtually by a medical professional can avoid interacting with others and ensure they receive the appropriate level of care in the right setting. Anyone experiencing severe symptoms of a respiratory illness, such as a high fever or difficulty breathing, should call 911 or visit a care site.

Candidate filing date quickly approaching BY LAUREN LIPPERT
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Traditionally, this time of year candidates knock on doors to solicit signatures of support. But, with the COVID19 outbreak limiting personal contact, some potential Glendale city candidate are finding difficulty in getting signatures to make the ballot. “The coronavirus has impacted my campaign greatly,” said Kathryn McKinney, who planned to run for city council. “We are unable to assemble or mobilize throughout the neighborhood. “We are uncomfortable with knocking on doors at this time. I do hope Glendale plans to extend our deadlines.” The Glendale mayor and three council seats will be up for election. To make the ballot, candidates must submit signatures to the city clerk by Monday, April 6. To make the ballot as a candidate for mayor requires 1,297 signatures of support. Mayor Jerry Weiers and potential challengers Amanda Trout and Michelle Robertson filed statements of interest, required before asking voters for signatures. Only Weirs has submitted the necessary signatures and filed as a candidate as of March 31. He said he started asking supporters for signatures six months ago. “I did what anybody should do who is truly looking for job: be serious about it, show leadership and go get

’em,” Weiers said “I’ve been around for a while and seen too many people (in the past) wait until the last minute,” the mayor added. Robertson said she has the signatures needed and is in the verification process. She plans to file this week. Even so, Robertson said the COVID-19 crisis limited her ability to interact with voters. “We’re looking for other ways to engage members of the community because they are requesting it, but we do want to follow the recommendations and not put anyone at risk,” Robertson said. Before tighter restrictions were recommended, Robertson held walks where she engaged with the community safely by utilizing hand sanitizer and bleach wipes.

Glendale approves new electronic bill payment service BY JONATHAN HERNANDEZ MORALES Glendale Star Contributing Writer
The Glendale City Council approved authorization to enter into a five-year agreement with a new electronic bill payment service last month. The Delaware-based bill payment service, Paymentus Corporation, will now work in tandem with the city’s current bill payment service, NorthStar, also known as N. Harris Corporation. The city first started working with NorthStar in May 2008 when it awarded its request for proposal, a project which companies bid for, to the company, letting it handle the city’s municipal billing system and centralized cashiering system. Lisette Camacho, the city’s budget and finance director, excitedly described Paymentus as a sort of “addon” to the city’s current service provider, meant to augment and facilitate bill payment for customers. “Now that it’s approved, we’ll get
signatures for the contract; and we’re hoping to get it started as soon as possible. What it would do is create a payment portal for Lisette Camacho introduced Pay- the city,” mentus. (Glendale Star file photo) Camacho said. “Our goal is to eventually have Paymentus sit on top of any department that accepts payments—the first goal is to do it for utility billings, so our water customers will see the benefit first.” Camacho hopes the five-year agreement with Paymentus can quickly be signed, approved and integrated with NorthStar, allowing the new provider to be live in six to 12 weeks. The authorization passed 6-1. Coun-
cilwoman Joyce Clark voted against, noting her disdain of multiple-year contracts. “I appreciate the new bells and whistles that will be included with this new program, but it is a partner of N. Harris Corporation, and we have used N. Harris Corporation for 12 years without going out for bid,” Clark said. “Based upon my historical opposition to fiveyear contracts, you can imagine how I feel about a 12-year contract, so I will be voting ‘no’ on this item.” The new bill payment service is expected to “offer a wide variety of electronic payment acceptance and support Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover,” according to an agenda attachment posted on the city’s website. According to Camacho, other features will include “the ability to send text reminders when your payment is due,” as well as auto-pay and virtual wallet integration. “If you’re a customer, you can’t just
sign up and have recurring payments established for your water bill,” Camacho said. “We’ll look into implementing the e-wallet, like PayPal and Apple Pay. You know, if you look at municipalities, not a lot take those forms of payment.” Keyone Lee, a Glendale resident and newly enrolled college student, believes the new service provider and improved functionality will be useful for himself and others. He also had ideas for how to better suit it to customers. “As for the notifications, I’d like to have the option to turn them on and off, but I think it would be easier for people who pay bills to do it online,” Lee said. “Doing my bills online, if I have any here, will be way easier.” Camacho said, “This will make things much easier. I think it’s a big step forward for the city; it kind of brings us to now, something current. This will give us that new functionality—this will definitely bring us to the future and be more modern.”

Teachers step up, reach students in time of need BY DR. LILY MATOS DEBLIEUX Glendale Star Guest Writer
I recently came across a timely quote from Mindy Grossman, CEO of WW (former Weight Watchers) who shared, “Never waste a good crisis. Learn from it.” Certainly, in these ever-changing times, we are learning volumes from our new normal. I have learned that educators are incredibly devoted to their work. Student success means everything to them. They have been working collaboratively through Zoom online meetings to plan for their students’ needs. Our support team from Educational Services is developing online lessons and packets for instructional review that are currently being piloted in five school sites and will soon move to all twelve sites. Parents are continuously impressed with the care and concern of our educators, checking in weekly with our students and even celebrating their birthdays. As educators, we know that social/emotional health is just as important as academic success. When our planning went into effect,
we knew how vital it is to communicate with parents as well as their students. Hearing from parents, they praised our multi-platform communication through Class Dojo, School Messenger, texts, calls and postings on our website at pesd92.org, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. We have listed all types of resources for families to help keep students happy and engaged in different types of learning and discovery. We are grateful to so many of our Pendergast Partners who have stepped up to assist in this time of need. During this time, our schools and departments are being deep cleaned and sanitized, following the strict guidelines from the Maricopa County Health Department and the Centers for Disease Control. Each piece of equipment and every library book is being carefully cleaned so when students return

to school, we have done our due diligence with health and safety in mind. Our Food Service Department has been serving thousands of meals weekly to children ages 18 and younger. We have a grab and go option with the ability for family members to also pick up instructional packets by grade level for the students. Parents are so grateful that we were able to put this into place immediately, so our families would not have to go without food. In addition to our twelve sites offering this option, we also have seven buses that have been stopping in our neighborhoods at 42 sites for ease of use. In addition to health and safety, proper nutrition at this time is vital. As a forever optimist, we wanted to ensure our families and community partners feel connected to us. We have started the Believer Campaign because Pendergast is “The District that Believes in You.” We are asking our stu-
dents, staff, families and the communities to put a sign in their windows with a bee and some encouraging words or advice. We want everyone to know we are here for them. We know that passion, perseverance and positivity will carry us through these challenging times. We are learning lessons daily but the most important one is that we are all in this together and we will come out stronger. I am grateful to everyone for their patience and creative connections during this unprecedented time. Hats off to our educators, first responders and healthcare workers who have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic through their selfless actions. I believe we will learn our valuable lessons and show how strong and united we are as we move ahead in the coming days, weeks and months. Dr. Lily Matos DeBlieux is the Pendergast School District superintendent.

Ensuring justice during the COVID-19 crisis BY ALLISTER ADEL MARICOPA COUNTY ATTORNEY Glendale Star Guest Writer
Written in stone across the front of the Maricopa County Superior Courthouse is the statement, “The first duty of society is justice.” And while thousands of people pass under these words every day, few stop to think about how important these words are to our democracy. For most, the idea that the fundamental function of government is to keep everyone safe is only relevant when government services are not readily available. During times of uncertainty, it becomes more important than ever that the criminal justice system has the ability to protect the community from those who seek to do harm. At more than 1,000 strong, the employees of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office live these ideals every day. Working for an entity that is constitutionally mandated to serve the citizens of this county is something everyone in this office takes seriously. In the past week, the work of MCAO employees has been extraordinary. While we are not on the front lines fighting this deadly pandemic in health care, we are on the front lines of a criminal justice system facing a crisis not experienced in generations. We have been working around the clock to ensure the rights of defendants
and victims alike are protected, while honoring our role to stop the spread of this deadly disease. Our office has reduced our workplace footprint by almost half. Prosecutors, paralegals and administrative support are using technology at home to do their part to reduce community spread of COVID-19. The residents of Maricopa County can also be proud of the work being done behind the scenes to respond and react to this constantly changing situation. Comprised of the courts, law enforcement, jails and prisons, prosecutors, defense attorneys and victim advocates, citizens can be confident that the Maricopa County Criminal Justice System is operating in a collaborative and responsible manner. I also applaud the steps leadership in the judiciary have taken to reduce the number of people in our courthouses. Latest numbers show that the Judicial Branch of Arizona in Maricopa County has reduced court visits by 40% in the past week with the use of technology. They have been able to temporarily modify business operations with the least disruption to services, while upholding everyone’s constitutional and
statutory rights. Within the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, I have directed staff to address the following priorities:
• When charging cases, look at the nature of the crime, the criminal history of an offender, and input from victims; and then balance this information with the need to reduce the number of individuals interacting with the criminal justice system at this time. • Assess and respond appropriately to motions from defense counsel on a case-by-case basis who seek to modify release conditions related to complications from COVID-19. • Ensure sound legal advice to county departments as they face a myriad of legal issues never before considered when facing a crisis like this. • Work collaboratively to ensure victims
have the ability to attend telephonic court hearings and keep them informed on the status of their case.
• Assess the effects of social distancing expectations on diversion programs and those who seek treatment for substance abuse and/or behavioral health issues. During times of public uncertainty, it is more important than ever that our criminal justice system operates efficiently and fairly. We understand the totality of this pandemic is going to challenge us in ways we never could have imagined. However, we will weather this public health crisis without abandoning our duty to protect this community. Let’s take care of each other and have confidence that we will continue to take care of you. Allister Adel is the Maricopa County attorney.

Brittany Square at the northeast corner of 67th and Peoria avenues, right on the Glendale-Peoria border, sold last week for $6.3 million. This was the third time Nick Miner of Orion Investment Real Estate has sold the 49,004-square-foot retail center. The 67th and Peoria corner features Starbucks, Chase Bank, Goodwill, O’Reilly Auto Parts and Circle K. “Even with the uncertainty in the financial markets, transactions are still getting completed,” Miner said. There will be a going-out-of-business sale at Thee Pitts Again, 5558 W. Bell Road; 602-996-PITT (7488). The barbecue joint has a 50%-off sale, while supplies last. Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante decided to temporarily close last week, with an emotional Facebook post: “Human lives should always come before any economic loss! As a family-owned small business, we are directly impacted by this crisis, but we strongly oppose movements to get people to go out in masses and order takeout which directly contradicts with world health experts about social distancing…” McFadden’s Glendale has also temporarily closed.

Social isolation can lead to mental health challenges BY SARA EDWARDS
Glendale Star Staff Writer
As more people are practicing social distancing and isolating, many are also having to adjust their coping mechanisms for mental health. Teri Cole, a Peoria psychologist, said people who have anxiety can feel overwhelmed and stressed with having to isolate and feel that they are losing control of events in their life. “When we are being anxious, we are not in the present; and being in the present is the only thing we have control over,” she said. “In terms of reducing stress, one thing I find helpful is focusing on, ‘What can I do right now?’ and getting into the present and not allowing my brain to take me into a horrible scenario in the future.” Cole, who recently transferred her in-person psychology services to exclusively online, said those who are adapting to a work-from-home environment should continue to do their normal daily routine without the commute to their office or place of work. She said for an office worker who is having to adjust to working at home, establishing a routine like waking up at the same time each morning and getting dressed can help create a sense of control. “Setting up timed plans, setting a menu will also help give that sense of control,” she said. “At night, instead of going to sleep with worried thoughts, I encourage my clients to identify one positive thing they did during the day—and it can be a very minimal thing. Then you say good

job and then you shut it down.” Because senior citizens are the most at risk for COVID-19—especially those in their 80s—there are concerns as to how they can manage their own mental health issues and anxieties while being encouraged to stay home and isolate. Ben Smith is the founding partner of Blue Moon Senior Counseling, a business that provides at-home counseling services to senior citizens. Smith said people are more worried and anxious rather than depressed, but depression could soon be another concern. Smith said because the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services changed its guidelines, the company is able to provide counseling services to seniors over the phone.
“Having someone to talk to is very beneficial for mental health,” he said. Smith recommended for seniors who are either in a retirement home or homebound to take a break from news coverage about the coronavirus. “What we’re finding is a lot of our folks that are sitting at home are just watching 24-hour coverage,” Smith said. “Our happiest clients are those that don’t watch TV at all. We definitely encourage them, if they have family members, to call them and have communication.” Smith also said seniors, and anyone looking to distract themselves while in social isolation, should take up a hobby or learn something new that they otherwise wouldn’t do. He said some of his company’s clients have turned to researching historical events or learning new ways to cook. But creating distractions and mitigating the stress with social isolation is not always as easy as it sounds, especially for parents with kids who have anxieties. Cole said for children having to adapt to their new at-home environment while a parent is also working from home, they should set up a structure for the day. “The kids are not used to mom or dad working from home,” Cole said. “It’s important to set up a structure like, ‘OK, I’m going to work for an hour and a half and then when I’m done we’ll go outside for a bit’ or have a snack together.” She said setting up this kind of structure can not only keep the children from distracting parents at work but also create a similar form of interaction many parents are used to when working in
The Glendale
their office environment. Cole said it is also essential to still have ways to communicate and interact with fellow co-workers, such as Google Hangouts or Zoom during the day. She said doing things like catching up with others, or taking a moment to walk around the house or get a snack can help redirect one’s energy so they can continue to work. “It helps the person working to break up their day,” she said. “That is a very big loss socially—not having those interactions—so it might be FaceTiming your co-workers or having an open online chat so you’re still having interaction with those co-workers.” Both Cole and Smith said while the rate of people being anxious about their new normal situation is higher right now, the amount of people becoming depressed could soon rise as well. But because of the unpredictability of COVID-19 and the increase in awareness for people to stay home, Cole and Smith encourage everyone to talk to someone if they are feeling anxious about the virus. “COVID-19 is real, and it’s unfortunately getting worse,” Smith said. “I feel that anxiety is going up and worry is going up, but hopefully it will start to get better soon.” For more information, visit westvalleycounselingcenter.com or bluemoonseniorcounseling.com.

Gourmet and specialty stores help during crisis BY KACEY WILSON AND JACQUELINE ROBLEDO
Glendale Star Contributing Writers
While some Valley grocery store shelves are stripped bare daily as COVID-19 panics shoppers, many smaller specialty and gourmet shops in the West Valley remain open and fully stocked. Even so, some are facing dramatic losses as regular customers stay home. “This is usually our best month in the beginning of the year and it is our worst month so far,” said Richard Morgan, chief financial officer of The Tree of Oil, a gourmet shop in Goodyear that sells olive oils, balsamic vinegars, olives and specialty teas. Morgan said the store has seen a slight increase in orders online, and has implemented curbside delivery to make customers feel safer during the pandemic. Linda Jacobs, the owner of Goodyear’s Southwest Specialty Food, maker and distributor of “Asskickin’” hot sauces and other snack-related products, has no complaints. With conventional shopping made more difficult by the outbreak, and with people at home consuming snacks, Southwest’s online business has exploded, she said. The manufacturing business has seen the largest rise in orders for its snack items, especially peanuts. If you go to the grocery store, Jacobs La Purisima bakery in Glendale has been selling plenty of bread, especially since grocery stores are in short supply. (Photo courtesy La Purisima)
Though the Olive Gourmet is closing its physical store temporarily, customers can purchase oils and other items online. (Photo courtesy Olive Gourmet)
said, “You’re just not seeing jars of peanuts on the shelves anymore.” A trip to the pasta aisle is also disappointing for many grocery store shoppers, which has been the ticket to survival for Olive Gourmet in Peoria. The store’s manager, Betsy Turner, said the extra customers stocking up on pasta are helping to keep them open, though they will soon temporarily make the store online only. “Every other store in our little mall area is closed,” Turner said. “They’re not coming into the mall, so we are not bringing in new customers.”
Although Gavin’s wife and co-owner of Winery101, Irlyn Gallifant, emphasized that the number of new customers is low, the husband and wife voiced their appreciation for individuals that are doing their best to keep local businesses open during these difficult times. “That’s exciting to see because people are reaching out that haven’t in the past,” Gavin said. Winery101 closed its tasting room for safety reasons, but the business is still open seven days a week for bottle purchases. Customers are allowed to enter the store or they can meet employees at the curbside for pickup after ordering online or by phone. At Crow’s Dairy, a Buckeye goat cheese and milk farm, owner Wendell Crow said the business is suffering one of the biggest hits in more than 100 years of business. “Pretty much in one week, I lost ev-
She planned to close the physical store Saturday, March 28, for at least two weeks, but emphasized Olive Gourmet’s online shop will remain open with reduced shipping fees.

Two weeks ago, students in the West Valley went on spring break, but the rising concerns of COVID-19 prevented the normal resumption of classes as Gov. Doug Ducey ordered all schools closed until April 10. Now, many students, teachers and parents are attempting to get their balance and find a new normal. Ducey’s order for schools to continue providing meals and online learning has been a challenge for districts. “Teachers are checking in with students every week. They’re calling them on the phone or texting them,” said Nedda Shafir, a Pendergast Elementary School District spokeswoman. “They’re celebrating their birthdays and checking in on their health and welfare.” Pendergast has schools in Glendale, Avondale and Phoenix. Bernadette Smith is the mother of a 9-year-old at Pendergast school Garden Lakes Elementary in Avondale. “The toughest part is with my little girl not going to school, and she is on the spectrum,” Smith said. “She needs constant direction, which holds me up on what I do. But that’s OK. I’ll take it.” She said that she was impressed with how Pendergast handled the situation, saying the school district was very prepared. “Personally, it’s been more challenging because (her daughter) has to change her routine; but as far as the educational provisions provided by Pendergast, it’s been a very smooth transition,” Smith said. “They immediately provided online curriculum.” Students and teachers are using Zoom, the online video chatting service, in the Pendergast district to hold meetings. Zoom has made the service

free for educational use. For students without resources for online education, Shafir said School Connect AZ is in the process of working with partners willing to donate computers and is working with Cox as an internet provider. Smith also mentioned that her district made educational packets available to students. She was impressed with the variety of education material available. “Not only did the teacher have her material in there, but the special needs teacher that my daughter sees had material in there, too,” Smith said. “I was shocked how quickly they were able to put it together.” Pendergast’s motto, “We bee-lieve in you,” has inspired people to make signs with the bee and positive messages. “It just brings a smile to your face. We’re all in this together,” Shafir said.

What to do when there’s nothing you can do That’s quite an article title. I think maybe all those people who bought up all that toilet paper must have been thinking, “If I don’t have any toilet paper, there’s nothing I can do!” What did they do? Ran off to Costco to stop the runs. But many discovered when they arrived that there was a toilet paper rapture and the rolls were called up yonder—just saying. You know, there are negative consequences to buying up all that toilet paper. Consider this Facebook post: “Just got gas for $1.47. I ain’t gonna tell you guys where. Cause I see what y’all did with the toilet paper.” Speaking of grocery stores, have you seen the empty bread aisles? Isn’t it interesting how all those gluten allergies just straight up

disappeared? Consider this: If you’re staying inside, practicing social distancing and cleaning yourself, congratulations, my friend, you’ve become a house cat. Thanks for letting me have a bit of fun with you. We sure we could all use a smile right now. Many of you out there are stressed, and maybe feeling like there is nothing you can do. But even when you feel like there is noth-
ing you can do, you can do something. That something is impressive, powerful, and quietly produces results when and where nothing else can or will. In the times before Jesus started His ministry, the Jewish people in that time must have felt there’s nothing we can do. The Romans are ruling, the taxes are high, we are weak and our religion has been reduced to rules and regulations. Then Jesus comes along, just in time, to show them what to do when there’s nothing you can do. And Jesus modeled it throughout his whole ministry. Let me explain. It had to be mind-boggling to be one of the original disciples and under the leadership of Jesus. When Jesus taught, people were astounded. They began to
understand the Word of God. Jesus was speaking to them, not at them, in a personal and compelling way. It was alive, crisp, clarion, transformational and applicable. Jesus’ ministry was not in word only. It was in deeds; compassionate, wise and mighty. Multitudes were healed, the significant need of that day. Thousands fed on nothing but a few loaves of bread and a few fish. The deaf began to hear, and the blind began to see in both the natural and a spiritual sense. Storms on big seas calmed. Sins and sinners were forgiven, even in the act of sinning. The mental fog of who God is and what God lifted. The Word of God and the God of the Word became real, tanSEE DELPH PAGE 21

in. They could have passed a university test about the theology and methodology of prayer. But then it dawned on them: Jesus’ way of praying was different from the religious leaders of that time. Jesus was doing in the day what He heard the Father tell Him to do at night. Many of you might be thinking, “I’ve tried praying and it didn’t work. I prayed for something, and I didn’t get it.” Jesus prayed a whole different way than that. Jesus waited and listened for God’s direction and instructions first, then He did what God just told him in prayer. Jesus waited for God’s Kingdom to come and His will (God’s will) to be done on Earth as it is in heaven. His response to God was always, “Not My will, but thy will be done.” During this time, there is something you can do for our country and your situation. Listen! Pray as Jesus prayed. Pray for others. Pray for your city. Accessing God by prayer takes us to possibilities we could never get to on our own. Teach us to pray for God’s Kingdom come, and God’s will be done regarding coronavirus, the economy, the government, employment and my very own house. You see, there is something you can do when you feel there’s nothing you can do.

gible and lasting. It transformed people. It moved people from “No, we can’t” to “Yes, we can” to “Yes, we will.” The disciples must have thought to themselves, “How does He do that? Where does He get that power and wisdom? Where does He get that compassion and love?” After many a busy day, they watched Jesus go to a secluded place by Himself. Then He would return, and they would be off for another day full of wonders. In the evening, He would go back up into a secluded place. Then He would come back and off they would go. “What is He doing up there?” Someone probably said, “Oh, He is praying.” Then the penny dropped for the disciples. “Wow, He prays at night to God, then ministers in the morning. He’s getting His orders from headquarters about the following day’s activity. He’s listening to God, not just petitioning God.” The Scriptures give us the disciple’s response after they got this figured out. “And it came about that while He was praying in a certain place after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray...’” Luke 11:1. A-ha! From prayer comes ministry, compassion, direction and power. Their response was, “Lord, teach us to pray.” In other words, we want Your kind of prayer for Your kind of ministry. The disciples knew about prayer. They had heard those long, drawn-out prayers in the synagogues they grew up

School districts provide meals during school closures BY SARA CASTRO
Glendale Star Contributing Writer
Local school districts continue to support students and parents throughout the COVID-19 outbreak through school lunch programs and various at-home learning packets. With the closure of schools until the end of the year, school districts continue to find alternatives to learning in class and to provide meals to students and families who rely on it. “We served 8,718 meals today and 38,236 meals for the week!” Glendale Elementary School District Superintendent Cindy Segotta Jones tweeted March 27. GESD’s meal program is a pickup that runs from 9 to 11 a.m. Monday through Friday at all schools and serves both breakfast and lunch. For more information, visit gesd40.org. The Peoria Unified School District is also doing meal pickups for its lunch programs.

Community colleges cancel in-person graduation BY GLENDALE STAR STAFF The Maricopa County Community College District is canceling in-person graduation ceremonies in April and May “to protect the health of MCCCD graduates, their families and friends, and faculty and staff.” The district’s 10 schools include Estrella Mountain Community College in Avondale and Glendale and Paradise Valley community colleges. “We are as disappointed as you with this development,” said Dr. Steven R.

“Many staff members and teachers are working long hours to get the online Home Learning going,” Allread said. “Creating an online school in days instead of months is a really big task.” PUSD and GUHSD are providing laptops to students for online learning resources. PUSD teachers also will connect with students on an individual basis. “For some students that might be paper and pencil or access to worksheets; for some students, it might be participating in online learning; for others, the teacher might be working with that student or class in collaborative online workspaces,” Airey said. PUSD has also provided a page with online resources students can access to continue online learning at home at peoriaunified.org. PUSD has also launched a student support line for students feeling overwhelmed, anxious or in need of someone to talk to as they navigate through these changes. Parents and students can call 623-412-5262 from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. “We’re just doing our best to keep families connected; social distancing does not mean social isolation,” Airey said. DVUSD has also set up a resource page for students and parents online to provide social and emotional support for mental health at dvusd.org/covid19. “We continue to work with our partner Southwest Behavioral Health Services to provide support for our families who need it,” Allread said.
