TED: COMING UP IN THE NEXT HOUR OF LOCAL NEWS ON ARIZONA PBS.

ON ARIZONA HORIZON: A PROGRESS METER SHOWS THE PANDEMIC'S IMPACT ON EDUCATION IN THE STATE ON CRONKITE NEWS: A DELAY IN THE FULL ROLLOUT OF 5-G MOBILE TECHNOLOGY DUE TO AIRLINE CONCERNS AND ON BREAK IT DOWN: THE DIFFERENCE IN PAY BETWEEN MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SPORTS.

THAT'S ALL AHEAD IN THE NEXT HOUR ON ARIZONA.

THIS HOUR OF LOCAL NEWS IS MADE IT POSSIBLE BY THE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM PBS.

MEMBERS OF YOUR PBS STATION.

THANK YOU.

ARIZONA HORIZON IS MADE POSSIBLE IN PART BY THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF THE FAMILY FOUNDATION.

TED: GOOD EVENING AND WELCOME TO ARIZONA HORIZON.

I'M TED SIMONS.

ARIZONA ADDED NEARLY 24,000 NEW CASES OF COVID-19 TODAY.

THE STATE ALSO RECORDED 1838 ADDITIONAL COVID-RELATED FATALITIES.

BOTH NUMBERS ARE INFLATED TO SOME DEGREE BY LAGS IN HOLIDAY WEEKEND REPORTING.

BUT THE STATE'S COVID DEATH RATE IS STILL THE HIGHEST IN THE NATION SINCE THE PANDEMIC BEGAN, AND 10TH-HIGHEST FOR THE THERE ARE MORE THAN 3200 PATIENTS HOSPITALIZED FOR COVID TODAY, THAT CONTINUES AN UPWARD TREND.

THERE ARE 95 ICU BEDS REPORTED AVAILABLE STATEWIDE WHICH IS A TOUCH ENCOURAGING, IN THAT IT SHOWS A FEW MORE OF THOSE BEDS AVAILABLE THAN IN RECENT DAYS.

THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL TODAY SAID THAT THE OMICRON VARIANT NOW ACCOUNTS FOR NEARLY ALL COVID-INFECTIONS IN THE U.S.

THE CDC REPORTS THAT OMICRON CAUSED 99.5 PERCENT OF NEW CASES LAST WEEK, THAT'S UP SLIGHTLY FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK AND UP FROM JUST ONE PERCENT OF CASES AT THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER, WHICH SHOWS THE SPEED AT WHICH THE.

POLITICAL NEWS: ARIZONA SECRETARY OF STATE AND DEMOCRATIC GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE KATIE HOBBS WENT ON CNN TO ADDRESS ELECTION-REFORM ISSUES, INCLUDING LEGISLATION INTRODUCED BY ARIZONA REPUBLICAN STATE LAWMAKERS.

>> WE HAVE SEEN BILLS INTRODUCED IN THE FIRST WEEK OF THE SESSION.

BILLS THAT WOULD ELIMINATE SECURE BALLOT DROP BOCKS PROPOSALS TO CUT BACK ON EASTERLY VOTING THEN INCREASE VOTER I.D.

REQUIREMENTS STRONG IN THE STATE SO SEEING A LOT OF ATTEMPTS AT OVERREACH TO MAKE IT HARDER FOR SOME PEOPLE TO VOTE.

>> WE'LL CONTINUE TO FIGHT THAT.

TED: HOBBS ALSO TALKED ABOUT FEDERA VOTING RIGHTS LEGISLATION BEING HELD UP, IN PART, BY ARIZONA SENATOR KYRSTEN SIMENA'S OPPOSITION TO FILIBUSTER REFORM.

>> INCLUDING OUR SENATORS HERE IN ARIZONA AND BUT, BUT WE CANNOT LET THE REPUBLICANS OFF THE HOOK IN 2006, THE REAUTHORIZATION OF THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT WAS PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

IT IS ASTOUNDING TO ME WE ARE AT THE PLACE WHERE IT IS NOW A PARTISAN ISSUE WHEN IT IS REALLY THE CORE OF OUR DEMOCRACY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

TED: AND SCIENCE NEWS: RESEARCHERS SAY THAT THE OLDEST MODERN HUMAN REMAINS ARE 30,000 YEARS OLDER THAN PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT.

THE REMAINS WERE FIRST FOUND IN THE 1960S AND WERE THOUGHT TO BE NEARLY 200,000 YEARS OLD.

BUT THE SAMPLES WERE DISCOVERED TO BE RELATED TO NEARBY VOLCANIC ROCKS FROM AN ERUPTION 23 THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

THUS, THE REMAINS AT 230,000 YEARS OLD, ARE THE OLDEST WITH MODERN HUMAN CHARACTERISTICS, SUCH AS A TALL, SPHERICAL CRANIUM AND A CHIN.

TWO GROUPS HAVE UPDATED THEIR EDUCATION PROGRESS METER, WHICH FOCUSES ON ADVANCEMENTS IN EDUCATION.

THE NEW FINDINGS SHOW HOW THE PANDEMIC HAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED EDUCATION IN THE STATE.

DR. AMANDA BURKE IS FROM THE CENTER FOR THE FUTURE OF ARIZONA AND RICH NICKEL IS WITH EDUCATION FORWARD ARIZONA.

>> THANK YOU FOR JOINING US HERE ON ARIZONA HORIZON.

GOOD YOU HAVE HERE.

WELL ARE RICH, WE'LL START WITH YOU.

US WHAT THE EDUCATION PROGRESS METER?

WHAT IS THIS THING ALL ABOUT?

SO, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, FOUR TO FIVE YEARS AGO NOW PAYING TOGETHER, OUR ORGANIZATION, EDUCATION FORWARD ARIZONA THEN ALSO THE CENTER FOR THE FUTURE OF ARIZONA AND WHAT WE REALIZED AS WE DIDN'T HAVE A SET OF METRICS THAT THE STATE COULD USE AND ANALYZE HOW BREEZE DOING IN EDUCATION, KIND OF ACROSS THE CONTINUUM.

THEN, SO A SET OF EIGHT SIMPLE METRICS WERE DESIGNED AND DEVELOPED TO STRETCH FROM EARLY LEARNING ALL THE WAY THROUGH POST SECOND A TROY GIVE EVERYBODY A CHANCE TO SEE HOW THE STATE IS DOING AGAINST THE GOALS THAT WERE SET AND TO USE TO ANALYZE THEN HELP US MOVE IN THAT RIGHT DIRECTION.

THEN, IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH FIVE UPDATED THE SHOW THAT THE PANDEMIC HAS REALLY HAD AN IMPACT ON EDUCATION, TALK TO US MORE ABOUT THIS.

>> YES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THE DATA SHOWS THE PANDEMIC HA BEEN POSITIVE AND EVERY ASPECT OF THE EDUCATION CONTINUUM STARTING FROM QUALITY EARLY LEARNING ALL THE WAY THROUGH K12 AND POST SECONDARY EDUCATION, SO NOTABLY FOR EQUAL EARLY LEARNING OVER THREE YEARS WE HAVE SEEN A DROP FROM 2% TO NOW 17% AND OF THE YOUNGEST ARIZONA THREE AND FOUR WHO ARE PARTICIPATING IN QUALITY EARLY LEARNING THEN THAT IS REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT PRE-K WAVED THE FOUNDATION FOR READINESS AND THAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY THAT OUR THREE AND FOUR-YEAR-OLD HAVE TO BUILD THE SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC SKILLS THEY NEED TO BE READY FOR KINDERGARTEN TO GO ON TO READ AT GRADE LEVEL.

THEN THAT BRINGS ME TO A COUPLE OF OTHER NOTABLE OUTCOMES THEN DATA.

WHEN WE LOOK AT THIRD GRADE READINGS WE SEE 11 PERCENTAGE POINTS THEN SIMILARLY IN EIGHTH GRADE MATCH DOWN 1-AND THEN AS FAR THE OLDER STUDENTS SLIGHT DECREASE IN HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION, THEN, THEN, IMPOSED HIGH SCHOOL ENROLLMENT AGAINING WHY DO THEY MATTER?

THIRD GRADE READING WE KNOW THAT THIRD GRADES THE PIVOTAL POINT IN THE CHILLED EADCATION WHERE THEY MAKE THAT SWITCH FROM LEARNING TO READ TO READING TO LEARN.

FROM 8th grade math then I don't know.

and not into the post secondary institution but persistence and completion so these rindscators that are critically important for us to pay attention to and then, we are pleased we help V the data because what measures and what gets measure is often what gets done so we have to know the data to know where the focus our attention then as we continue to work through this ongoing challenges of the pandemic.

>> And rich, everything FROM QUALITY learning the younger folks to post secondary which is with us a big drop there but eighth grade map and third grade learning these sorts of things.

The pandemic before the pandemic.

Were we seeing increases then booed things then level things off or drop them.

What happened here.

So you know certainly had impact on all of these Metrics regardless of where the stut student went to school because of this interrupted larning we are seen and regardless of A or BD school.

And these barriers then the pan dig really shown a light on us.

Shine and A light on these.

So the barrier that existed before and that you know maybe could be solved by people being in schools and by having counseling.

Some of those coming to light.

And not having good ready counseling and one-on-one level counseling then not having the social emotional mental support, you know, that really shines through in some of this, and you know, I do think, also, what we saw is so you would have thought would be impacted by this type of activity within the impact, so although, we see de:S at the smaller and post beery what we do know is those who have stopped in rolling at the fastest rates are the opportunity group we need enroll in higher rates then were making progress.

>> Amanda, refound effect here once we get the pandemic behind us.

Am guessing we will eventually here.

Are we going to seize boomerang effect sneer well, rich shared we were moving in the right direction, fryer the pandemic, then, so good things are happening in education, woe immediate to continue that course and really accelerate the work, then what many of us think it is going to take is a multi year approach and sustained and various focused approach to address unfinished learning so it won't be immediate buzz certainly is possible and many are already hard at work to meet needs of learners and educators.

Yeah.

The last question here.

You talked about what divide we are showing on the things are these things that could be addressed then can be fixed?

>> Certainly could be addressed and can be fixed so one I think we need to identify the group and folks who need additional support who needed to invest westchester those additional supports.

And additionally, you know, there has been renovation that happened here.

A lot of good things going on as Amanda mentioned then we take our teacher then giving all they have every day and they want to be in school.

Sometimeses staffing right now is AN issue or decisions there to make for the community and well-being but they are giving their all.

We have to give their all.

Our all to support them.

Then, yeah.

These things can be fixed then, we have things that will work to do that.

>> That matter of invest president and support.

>> Absolutely then, the center for the future of Arizona released the results of our Arizona survey and then, I think, it is really important to note that Arizonans formally support QUALITY and, you know, education and behind our education system and then Arizona understands that equality and skills educated citizenry matters to the future success of the state then, support a number of the kinds of a actions that was rich was talking about.

Arizonans overwhelmingly support making sure that we have QUALITY teachers and leaders in every single school and then, support closing educational gaps and opportunity gaps then they also support new approaches to education like learning to be able to meet the needs of individual learners then we certainly seen the schools to those more personalized approaches of the dead is.

All right.

Very good.

Dr.Amanda Burke where, education forward Arizona, good conversation.

Good you have here.

Thanks for joining us.

Thank you.

>> Thank you.

>> Then up next on Arizona horizon.

A husband and wife astronomer team's involvement in the James Webb space telescope.

Ted: HUSBAND AND WIFE, MARCIA J. RIEKE AND GEORGE RIEKE, ARE UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA ASTRONOMERS.

THEY RECENTLY WORKED ON NASA'S JAMES WEBB SPACE TELESCOPE THAT LAUNCHED ON CHRISTMAS DAY.

WE TALKED TO THE RIEKE'S ABOUT THE ROLES THEY PLAYED IN THE PROJECT.

Marsha and George RIEKE, welcome to Arizona horizon.

Thank you for joining us.

Let's define TERMS here to get the basics the James Webb space telescope what do we talk about her.

>> We are talking about the space telescope that got launched a few weeks ago and is Nasa's big science mission and especially big for astronomy.

It is a telescope that is about 21feet across and that is about the same size as the multiple mirror telescope on mount Hopkins but which runs very cold and is going to be when it finishes right then almost one million miles from earth.

Wow.

Ok. George.

The difference between this now and the space Hubble telescope.

For the layman, what changes?

>> Well, it is reallies the science thank changes and the Hubble works with in ultraviolet wavelength and a whole bunch of new things.

Very, very distant galaxies and far enough away and the gas along the side and you cannot find it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

8:00 a whole bunch of new investigations and open up.

Wow.

This sounds fascinating.

You developed one of the infrared eyes I heard it be described.

What did you work on and what would the results, what do the results you hope to see?

>> Well, so I worked on the near infrared camera and it has light sensors that can defect light FROM about the register the eye can see to about ten times the wavelength your eye can see.

And we want to study some of the things that George was just alluding to exoplanets around other stars then in particular, we hope to be able to measure some of the molecules in the atmosphere and the exoplanets then, we want to detect the most distant galaxies that we possibly can and we would like to find ones the first once to form after gas cool interests the big bang.

>> Wow.

That is, just mind-blowing to think about.

Now, George discovered, you kind of developed here and worked on another instrument.

Talk to us about that.

>> So, my instrument is, very creatively the mid infrared instrument that is because it works in longer wavelengths from basically ten TIMES visible wavelength out to 50 TIMES something like that.

Then that opens up a whole bunch of other things to look at 1:00 pit is unique to them to have such a big telescope with as much sensitivity as you get in space working at these wavelengths that is going to be her stage that we'll leave for astronomers to go on for decades to come.

Then, you talked about looking back almost, from the big bang, but certainly, afterwards, then how far back can you actually look with this thing?

>> , that is that is what we are going find out because we cannot look unless there is sources.

And 100million year sore of the big bang and the ABC loot I limit with any kind of infrared or visible light instrument would be 400,000 years after the big bang and but we are hoping for 100million years.

Again this from the Hubble telescope than it can reach back even further.

Is that true?

>> Yeah.

>> I think, the way reporter is maybe a better way to look at it.

It is only looks a little bit further but it looks a lot closer to the big bang and so, it is to two or three times close for the big bang than we have been able to work Hubble in the heel Cole step to scopes.

This is because of what?

Are the mirrors lined differently?

Are they just bigger?

Is it just a bigger telescope and that is why it can do so much more?

>> It is partly that it is a bigger telescope but it is also because it works the longer wavelengths.

If Hubble were made it five times bigger but worked as exactly the same wavelength IT WOULDN'T ABLE TO SEE THESE GALAXIES BECAUSE 3:00 OF THE ABSORPTION OF GAS ALONG THE LINE IN SIGHT AND THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSALLY SHIFTS WAVELENGTHS TO WAVELENGTHS.

ISN'T THE INTERESTING.

GEORGE, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WORK ON THIS THING?

>> I HAVE BEEN WORK ON IT SINCE 1998.

>> OH MY GOODNESS.

>> GEORGE?

>> WELL, GOT ONBOARD FOUR TO FIVE YEARS LATER BUT I WAS AT THIS POINT VERY INVOLVED WITH US AND THE SPACE TELESCOPE SO KEPT ME BUSY.

SO THE OBSERVATIONS WHEN DID THEY START SEEING SOME RESULTS?

WHEN DO WE START HEARING, BUT ABOUT WE FOUND OUT X, Y, Z.

>> TWO SIGNED.

ONE WILL BE ENGINEERING RESULTS THEN THE FIRST ONE TO SEE THAT BECAUSE INSTRUMENT HELPED LINE IN THE KELL SCOPE.

THEN, REAL SCIENCE RESULTS IF WE ARE LUCKY MAYBE THE END OF JUNE AND MAYBE IT IS MORE PLUS ABLE TO SAY SORT OF END OF SUMMER AND SHOULD GET THE FIRST SCIENCE RESULTS.

>> THEN LAST QUESTION FOR YOU.

THE BIGGY NOW.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW AND IMPORTANT FOR US TO DO?

>> WELL, IT IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO DO BECAUSE PEOPLE ALWAYS NEED TO PUSH THE FRONTIER AND MAKE THE DISCOVERIES AND THIS PARTICULAR MISSION IS IMPORTANT TO DO BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO REALLY CHANGE OUR VIEW OF WHERE WE ARE IN THE UNIVERSE AND CHANGE OUR VIEW OF WHAT EXOPLANETS ARE LIKE AND BY THE END OF THE JWST MISSION IF WE ARE LUCKY WE WILL HAVE FOUND EARTH LIKE PLANET AND BE ABLE TO TELL IF IT IS ATMOSPHERE IS CONDUCIVE TO LIVE TWO YEARS THEN SOMETHING EXCITING THAT PEOPLE GET TO TUNE INTO.

>> VERY EXCITING AND KIND OF NEWS IN OTHERWISE ROUGH STRETCH.

THE UNIVERSITY OF AND CONGRATS ON THE GREAT WORK AND BEST OF LUCK AND WEIGHT TO FIND OUT WHAT THE KELL SCOPE FINES THANKS.

>> THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

>> YOU ARE WELCOME.

>> YOU ARE WELCOME.

YOU GETS STRONG OPINIONS BOTH WAYS YEAH.

YEAH.

WE HAVE A GREAT TEAM WHICH IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT DOES FRAME IT BETTER LIKE YOU KNOW, YOU CAN LEARN ABOUT IT IF YOU HAVE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION RIGHT.

>> WELL, GENERALLY GOOD.

TRYING TO RELEARN HOW TO DO WHAT THEY DID BEFORE AND THEN, THEN IN SON CASES THEY ARE DOING WILT A BRAND-NEW STAFF OR TRYING TO RECLAIM STAFF OR NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND STAFF AND A LOT TALKED ABOUT AND STAFFING THEN I HAVE A LOT OF FAITH THAT WILL RESULT ITSELF AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING BETTER AND SO WE ARE HAPPY ABOUT THAT AND THEN, THEN, WE TALKED ABOUT SUPPLY CHAIN THAT IS IN LIKE SILLY STUFF AND THAT SPOON OR GLASS WEAR FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN IT WAS LIKE CAN'T SERVE WITHOUT GLASSES.

YEAH.

YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT KIND OF STUFF DO YOU?

IT IS CRAZY.

WELL, FELLOW RESTAURANTS, SOME PROBABLY WORSE OFF THAN WE HAVE SEEN A LOT OF RESTAURANTS CLOSING BUT SEEING A LOT OF RESTAURANTS OPENING.

YEAH.

GOING TO BE TRANSITIONAL THEN I THINK YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW IT IS JUST SO SITUATIONAL AND THERE IS NO, I CAN PAINT THIS WITH THERE ARE REASONS WHY EACH RESTAURANT IS EITHER THRIVING OR STRUGGLING THEN THAT IS JUST MAYNIFYING GLASS AND THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS ANYWAY AND WHAT IT DID IS PUT MORE IN CONTINUATION TIP AND FOCUS AND ALSO, WE WERE KIND OF THE SPOT LIGHT ON US BECAUSE WE WERE PART OF THE SOLUTION AND THE PROBLEM AND AT LEAST BY SOME PEOPLE'S VIEWS YOU LO WE HAD A LOT, STRESSFUL IN THE RESTAURANT BUSINESS ANYWAY BUT HAVING INTENSITY AROUND IT.

>> DID IT CHANGE YOU AND HOW OTHER BUSINESS OWNERS DO BUSINESS?

>> WELL, YES.

I THINK EVERYONE HAD TO GET SCRAPPY AND LEARN AND LOOK AT AREAS OF THE BUSINESS THEY WERE WORKING OR WERE NOT WORKING THEN CREATE WHOLE NEW MODELS LIKE TAKEOUT AND DELIVERY THAT IS PART OF THE FABRIC OF THE RESTAURANT WORLDS THEN I HAVE SOME THAT GREW THEIR BUSINESS AFTER YOU KNOW, THAT BECAME A BIG PART OF THEIR BUSINESS AND THEY ARE GOING TO STAY WITH US.

>> YEAH.

SO AND WHERE I DIDN'T DO IT AT ALL BEFORE AND REFUSED TO DO IT BECAUSE THE CONTROL FREAK BUT YOU KNOW, OF COURSE, ON DAY TWO, YOU KNOW, MARCH17th, 2020 I BECAME A PERSON IN THE RESTAURANT AND TAKE ON DELIVERY BUSINESS ALL OF THE SUDDEN WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE THINGS ARE GOING WELL AND YOU KNOW, WE ARE FIGHTING THE FITTING BE A YOU KNOW EVERY DAY IS A DIFFERENT DAY AND EVERY DAY IS DIFFERENT HOUR WITH NEW INFORMATION AND IN IT.

CONGRATS ON THOSE CONTINUED SUCCESS AND WHEN DOES IT DAY YOU?
