CONTRIBUTING WRITERS

ENDAR YEAR. Summer freedom is drawing to a close, and the school bells will be ringing any day now. While the lazy days of sipping cool beverages poolside may be numbered, this month brings a sense of renewal. New routines, new clothes and new school supplies often come to mind in August.

Since we recently dedicated an issue to both the men and women of our community earlier this year, it would only be right to celebrate some of our cutest residents: kids and pets!

There’s no doubt we have some serious pet lovers in Chandler. Meet two non-profits dedicated to helping animals on page 22. They’re definitely leaving their paw prints on the community!

We also whipped up a recipe for homemade dog treats on page 34, so you can spoil your loyal companions.

And, when your pup is ready to lounge outside (I know mine loves to sunbathe!), we have the perfect grass for them. ForeverLawn not only keeps your yard looking amazing with its artificial grass, but it offers special K9 grass, the only artificial grass designed specifically for dogs (page 30).

We also showcase some of the amazing kids in our community, from one who is helping keep other kids safe (page 42) to one whose talent has drawn her to the stages of New York (page 26).

There is so much more in this issue, too. Drop me a line and let me know which story was your favorite!

Cheers to another wonderful month ahead, Chandler!

Yours,

TRI-CITY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY COACH PAUL BROWN QUIETLY MAKES A BIG IMPACT ARTICLE GEORGANN YARA PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

IT’S LATE JUNE AND IN A DESOLATE STRETCH IN SAN BERNADINO COUNTY, TRICITY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND VARSITY BOYS BASKETBALL COACH PAUL BROWN IS STANDING UNDER A WINDMILL ON HIS MOBILE PHONE. One of the state’s most winningest high school basketball coaches, Paul’s job this week is bus driver for 42 students attending a Christian camp in Ironwood.

“They told me to go by the windmill. It has the best signal. I’m in the California desert in the middle of nowhere. That’s why they wanted the camp here, because there’s no cell service,” Paul says, alternating genuine excitement about being so far from big city life with ironic chuckling.

In 16 years as head coach, Paul’s 284-66 record has made him one of Arizona’s most successful coaches of an elite program that has evaded the mainstream radar. Last season, he led his Warriors to a 25-2 record and a second place finish in the Canyon Athletic Association.

His roster includes students from Africa and Costa Rica. Several of his players have attracted attention from NCAA Division I schools, including Nigel Shadd, currently a sophomore at Kansas State University.

But another one of Paul’s big assets is his commercial drivers license, which is how he ends up under a windmill.

“SOMEHOW, PEOPLE STILL WANT TO COME AND PLAY AT TRI-CITY. I’M DEFINITELY BLESSED TO HAVE SOME AMAZING STUDENT ATHLETES.”

“The good thing about having a CDL is that I don’t have to wait for a bus driver. If there’s a tournament, I can put everyone in the bus and go. It’s nice as a coach,” he says. “It also means that sometimes you do other things…”

And this sums up much of who Paul is at heart. He’s practical, easygoing with a great sense of humor, and an ability to roll with the tide. He’s also humble. When asked what his record was, he had to ask his assistant because he didn’t exactly know.

“They like to remind me of what it is. I just praise the Lord and take them one at a time,” he says.

When Paul arrived at Tri-City 20 years ago, he coached the girls varsity basketball team for three years to a 51-2 record and two state titles before moving to the boys squad. His victories come at a K-12 private Christian school that has open enrollment but is tuition-based, which can be a challenge when retaining students. The enrollment fluctuates from 185 to 425. There’s also competition from the cachet that comes with the Arizona Interscholastic Association’s big schools.

These are reasons why Paul’s program should not excel as much as it has. It’s a mystery he’s not taking for granted.

“Somehow, people still want to come and play at Tri-City. I’m definitely blessed to have some amazing student athletes,” he says.

the last guy cut at tryouts. He was taking a weight class when the wrestling coach spotted him and asked him to join the wrestling team. What sealed the deal? In the off-season, wrestlers played the basketball team because the coach thought wrestlers banging on the players in practice would make them stronger.

Paul attended the former Pillsbury Bible College in Minnesota, where he played Division III basketball and golf.

He earned his physical education degree with a minor in coaching.

Paul and his wife have been married for 15 years and have four children, ranging from grades one to seven. They all attend Tri-City.

Although he didn’t think he’d be at Tri-City for 20 years, Paul’s not complaining.

“It’s amazing when you find your niche and you find the things you love. And this is exactly what I’m supposed to do,” he says.

Heading into his 17th season, Paul’s roster is packed with international and homegrown talent hoping to take the CAA championship.

He knows they’ve got what it takes. He has to make sure his kids know it, too.

“That’s part of coaching. You need to remind them that they have the ability… now, let the game be the showcase of all the work you’ve put into it,” he says.

But Paul is quick to turn his attention to a larger picture that extends beyond the court.

“I try to use the game of basketball to help kids learn about who Christ is and what he does for you,” he says. “If I can help a kid be a better person in our community, then I believe this school can change his life.”

TWO AMAZING NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS LEAVING THEIR PAW PRINTS ON CHANDLER

Chandler Lifestyle | August 2019

TWO PUPS WELLNESS FUND Two Pups Wellness Fund recently launched Grown Pups for Grown Ups to address issues that may prevent older dogs housed at Maricopa County Care and Control from being adopted. They provide funding for wellness blood tests, treatment for some diseases, adoption fees and behavioral training. They also support community awareness and events to help older pups find homes.

Nancy Silver, the fund’s founder, established the program in 2017 in honor of her own two pups. She was inspired after a trip to urgent care one night with her dog, Lacie.

“I watched a family bring their dog in that was on death’s door and when they couldn’t pay, they were turned away. At that moment, I pledged that I would do something to help change this situation,” Nancy explains.

Two Pups (TwoPups.org) was established as a community resource to provide financial assistance, working directly with local shelters and rescues. Nancy started the program with Bip Haley, their director of operations. The two women were business neighbors and friends for years. Nancy owns a stationery and gift

store, and Bip and her husband own a gallery.

“People are often concerned that older dogs may have an underlying history of health or possible behavioral issues.

These fears cause longer stays for so many homeless senior pups, which can wear on any animal and affect their attitude and energy. That is where we come in, providing the health and behavior screenings,” says Bip. The organization partners with Community Canine Project, a program with experience in the behavior of shelter animals.

They work hands-on with the older dogs and provide assessments that can be shared with adopting families.

“Older dogs are great for families, older couples or seniors living alone looking for companionship. Also, busy 30-somethings who don’t have the time and flexibility to train a puppy,” says Nancy. “They are a bit more settled and mature. They are usually house-trained, and they just get it. They know our language and how to relax and just be. They make wonderful companions and family members.”

A senior dog isn’t as old as one might think. The program provides care to dogs as young as 4-years-old.

Bip says, “A 4-or 5-year-old dog still has a long life ahead, especially when they are well-cared for.”

GABRIEL’S ANGELS

Chandler Lifestyle | August 2019

"SO PUTTING A CHILD WHO HAS HAD A BAD DAY OR HAS HAD DIFFICULTY AT HOME WITH A DOG WHO LEANS A LITTLE ON THE KID TO RECEIVE PETS, OR MAYBE TO GIVE A NOSE BUMP, CAN TAKE THAT CHILD OUT OF THOSE NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AND THOUGHTS, AND LETS THAT CHILD BE A KID."

GABRIEL’S ANGELS Gabriel’s Angels (GabrielsAngels.org) works with at-risk children through pet therapy. The organization strives to inspire confidence and compassion, while encouraging best behaviors. Their teams consist of a human volunteer and their dog, who must register and pass a basic manners course with Alliance of Therapy Dogs or Pet Partners. The human goes through their own clearance checks, and once the team is processed, there’s an onboarding and training period. Then the real magic can begin.

“What we truly do is intangible, this bond between a child and dog creates something that impacts not only their day, but the world that they live in,” explains Blake Blackman-Woody, Gabriel’s Angels’ director of development.

Teams participate in the literacy program coined ABC, which stands for animals, books and children. They also have an individual intervention program which is an intensive program between a child, the pet therapy team and a child psychologist. They work with 122 partner facilities free of charge, including Title 1 schools, behavioral health clinics, homeless shelters, foster care programs and domestic violence shelters.

“Dogs love unconditionally—it doesn’t matter what you look like, how you act, or even how you feel, they just love you. So putting a child who has had a bad day or has had difficulty at home with a dog who leans a little on the kid to receive pets, or maybe to give a nose bump, can take that child out of those negative emotions and thoughts, and lets that child be a kid,” says Blake.

Any breed can be a therapy dog. Various traits can be beneficial in different situations and matches are made accordingly. An active dog might be a great fit for an 8-year-old because they can keep up and play games, while a calm dog may be perfect to love on a teenager or calm a small child.

The scope of their programs varies depending on the children’s needs and ages, which range from little ones to teens. There are 190 pet therapy teams throughout Arizona and they reach 15,000 kids annually.

“A relationship with a Boys & Girls Club group is going to be very different than a preschool group at a Head Start or homeless shelter. But the consistent theme is the unconditional love a dog can give to a child,” says Blake.

WHAT TO TELL YOUR KIDS ABOUT WATER SAFETY PREPARE YOUR KIDS TO BE SAFE AROUND WATER, AND KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING, WITH A SIMPLE WATER SAFETY QUIZ ARTICLE CHANDLER PARKS & RECREATION PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

A

SHORT,

THREE-QUESTION

QUIZ YOU CAN ASK YOUR KIDS TO GET THE CONVERSATION STARTED.

UNDER 5 Start demonstrating water safety behaviors with infants as early as 6 months, and continuously check for understanding as they grow.

1. SHOULD YOU EVER GO NEAR THE POOL WITHOUT AN ADULT? The answer is always “no.”

Make sure to tell young children that an adult means parent or a caregiver. This practice holds true when swimming or playing around the pool.

2. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU FALL IN THE POOL? The goal should always be to find the nearest wall and get out. Practice returning to the 28

wall, holding onto the side of the pool edge, and climbing along until they are safely able to exit.

3. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR SIBLING OR PLAYMATE FELL IN THE POOL? Calling for or seeking out help is critical. Children should never attempt to get in and rescue their friend or sibling, even if they are a good swimmer.

UNDER 14 1. WHAT ARE OUR FAMILY’S POOL RULES? Make sure they include “never swim without an adult.” Rules should apply no matter if they’re at home, a

friend’s house or elsewhere.

2. HOW DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE NEEDS HELP IN A POOL? Drownings are not usually loud with splashing and yelling, but are often quiet and only take seconds. If someone is under the water or unable to take a breath for more than 20 seconds, it’s a potential emergency.

3. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF SOMEONE NEEDED HELP IN THE POOL? Call for help. Teach children to get an adult and/or call 911. Showing them how to help from the pool deck by reaching or throwing an object out to the person in

WEATHER IN THE VALLEY CAN BE COSTLY AND CUMBERSOME ON ANY LANDSCAPING. Shaded areas, a lack of moisture and excessive heat can prevent even the most maintained lawns from remaining green or keep them from growing at all. ForeverLawn set out to change the landscape industry by developing a high-quality, technologically advanced synthetic grass.

“ForeverLawn is a synthetic grass company offering problem-solving solutions with innovation and quality,” says Seneca Hamel, spokesperson for ForeverLawn East Valley.

Synthetic grass requires no sunlight and minimal maintenance. Because there is nothing to water, synthetic grass may help homeowners cut their monthly water consumption, lowering their water bills. In addition, evergreen lawns mean homeowners need not worry about purchasing pesticides or fertilizer to maintain landscaping.

“A lot of yards in the East Valley are smaller, making it tedious to mow, water and maintain,” Seneca says. “In this case, synthetic grass is a much better choice because it helps save on water and maintenance costs and is extremely easy to maintain.”

Move Over A s t r oTu r f

The Valley may see less rain, but according to Seneca, synthetic grass can also help in eliminating mud when it does rain—meaning no muddy yard for kids or pets to wind up tracking through the house. She shares that because the grass is synthetic and requires little maintenance, it will continue to look great all year.

Synthetic lawns have an advantage over pavement or rock in the summer, too. Synthetic grass won’t remain as cool as real grass, but it won’t absorb and radiate heat the same way pavement,

rock and brick do—a perk under the Arizona sun, according to ForeverLawn.

Seneca says people worry that artificial turf will look fake or stand out compared to their neighbors’ lawns.

“Artificial grass has come a long way since the original AstroTurf,” she says.

“Our DuPont landscape products are extremely realistic and look almost exactly like real grass when put next to sod.”

ForeverLawn offers a variety of synthetic grasses to meet the different needs of the consumer,

including

Playground

Grass,

Splash Grass, Golf Green and K9Grass.

“Our most installed product is our K9Grass,”

says

Seneca.

“It

is

com-

pletely safe for pets and kids because it is nontoxic, clean and easy to maintain.”

Seneca describes the grass as antimicrobial blades with a short, dance blade structure that eliminates the need for infill—small pieces of crushed material that are put over artificial grass to help the blades stand up. She says ForeverLawn’s installation process and lack of infill in the artificial lawn allows for proper drainage and avoids lingering odor.

She shares that homeowners can still contact ForeverLawn to learn about their options, even if they aren’t sure if it’s within their budget.

“We are all about solutions and finding what works best for each of our clients,” Seneca says. Along with traditional payment methods, ForeverLawn offers no interest financing, allowing homeowners to pay for their synthetic lawns over time.

ForeverLawn was founded in 2004 and has been serving commercial and residential residents since by offering a unique quality product and strong business principles, and looking out for communities, according to the company.

My prototype, the Smart Baby Car Seat, utilizes Bluetooth to communicate with the parent’s phone. A pressure sensor detects the presence of the baby. When the parent walks out of the Bluetooth range of the car seat and leaves the baby in the car, the parent will receive a vibration alert from the phone.

WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW? I am currently in the process of creating my patent and researching ways to improve my prototype to be more consumer-friendly.

WHERE DO YOU HOPE TO SEE IT IN THREE YEARS? In three years, I hope my prototype will be in the process of fine-tuning, and in the final stages of creating a product. I hope to create the product by the time I graduate from high school and run a company while in college. I hope that I can save many lives in the future!
