Ranch gives horses a second chance

im Meagher had never worked with horses. She had been a project manager at Intel Corporation in Chandler before deciding to leave corporate life behind.

After spending 14 years at the tech giant, she left that lucrative career in 2002 to found Wildhorse Ranch Rescue. Her decision to open the rescue was one borne out of tragedy.

Meagher and her family purchased property in the Gilbert area in 1994. It was located on what is known in Maricopa County as a “county island”—land that has not been annexed by a local municipality. As a result, it was also that coveted commodity in Arizona called “horse property,” which is

The next step for the Meagher family was to buy a horse—not a small purchase and a financial stretch for the family at the time. As a result, they arranged to make monthly payments, since purchasing the animal outright wasn’t an option.

It was July 4, 1995, when Meagher and her family went to see a fireworks show near their home. It was a fun evening of holiday

Horse rescue is a major investment

BY ERIC SMITH TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

R

escued horses need new situations and new owners, but it’s not a cheap price to pay to own one of the animals.

Shelters take in a variety of horses.

Some have been abused, some are sick or injured and others are left simply because their owners can’t take care of them anymore.

That’s because people often get into horse ownership without fully understanding the commitment they are making.

“Your first thing is you don’t want to approach it in haste,” said Donna Tyler Campbell, who manages Tyler Farms in east Mesa. “It’s a fitting process. You

want to make sure the horse fits the owner so that neither one of them ends up with the bad end of the deal.”

One of the biggest obstacles buyers face is the cost.

That includes boarding, if the buyer doesn’t have a place on their property for the horse. Costs can run $300 per month, including feeding. The animal also needs its hooves trimmed roughly every six weeks, which costs about $50.

Having them shoed runs about $110.

Another important cost is training, especially with recued horses. Scott Tyler, a trainer for 25 years at Tyler Farms, said training can run from $350 to $500 per month. The more training required, the higher the price.

The other big commitment when it

comes to horses is time. Tyler said people need to commit to working with their animal as often as possible if they want to bond.

“A lot of people for whatever reason get into a horse on a whim and then they realize the commitment it takes,” he said. “That’s why the rescues are full.”

And things get even trickier if the horse is a wild one from the Bureau of Land Management and the new owners want to domesticate it. It requires a different type of trainer and can cost more.

“Working with wild horses is a whole different skill set,” Tyler said. “They are dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing.”

Tyler Campbell said the biggest mistake people make is acting without the

proper knowledge. However, that can easily be alleviated.

First, she said, a prospective buyer should take lessons to learn how to be safe around horses. Then, if they decide to proceed, they should take the trainer to view the animal.

“They’ll let you know ‘Yeah that’s a great horse, I don’t think you’ll need a lot’ or ‘It’s really rough around the edges for this and this,’” Tyler Campbell said.

“That way, they find out what they’re getting in to.”

It’s that trained eye that can help a potential adopter becoma successful and happy horse owner.

Ranch rescues more than horses, burros

ack in 1995 when Kim Meagher founded Wildhorse Ranch Rescue in Gilbert, her main focus was to provide a sanctuary for horses.

As the years went on, Meagher expanded her operation to many animals that needed a place to call home.

Wildhorse Ranch Rescue takes in animals such as cats, dogs, peacocks, rats and even rattlesnakes.

The rescue has a long-standing partnership with the Havasupai Grand Canyon Hiking Dogs. Both organizations provide services to animals through their HavasuPups program.

“We go in every quarter to Havasupai to take out dogs and kitties and bring them back to the ranch,” Meagher said.

“There are times that we take 13 dogs, but it all depends on if we have the room.”

If Wildhorse Ranch Rescue is unable to take in animals through HavasuPups program, Meagher and her staff provides services to the Havasupai Grand Canyon Hiking Dogs, such as spay, neuter and

Although Wildhorse Ranch Rescue

celebration. But when they returned home, they made a horrifying discovery.

Their beloved horse, Brownie, had been frightened by the nearby fireworks. In the terror of the moment, Brownie broke her neck and passed away that night.

Filling the barn “It was devastating,” Meagher says.

“My friends said ‘Kim, you’ve got to get another horse to help your kids heal.’ But I said I couldn’t. We were still making payments, and we just couldn’t afford it.”

Since buying a new horse was out of the question, Meagher got creative. She placed an ad in the local paper looking for a horse that needed a home. To her surprise, “My phone just rang off the hook,” she says.

“I rescued horses in need of homes for five years completely on my own, underwriting it all with my own money,” Meagher says. “But my income certainly couldn’t fill the barn. So I decided I needed to create a nonprofit organization so that other people could help.”

In the ensuing years, Meagher’s organization saved the lives of more than 200 horses. Her rescue animals have included retired Bureau of Land Management (BLM) horses, which typically roam free on BLM land but often come to the rescue in varying degrees of health. She also takes in Forest Service animals, used by rangers to get to areas inaccessible to wheeled vehicles, as well as horses from the Havasupai region of the Grand Canyon, which are primarily used as pack animals.

And the operation has since expanded.

Horses aren’t the only animals the ranch saves. It takes in donkeys and mules as well, adding to the equine care base.

Meagher says she learned that about 100,000 horses nationwide are sent to slaughter every year for lack of good homes.

“I decided that if I could only put a dent in that number, even a small one, it would be worth it.”

But her mission comes at a price.

Funding the operation Horses coming into a rescue can require a staggering amount of attention and care, but there is another resource required—money. Quite a bit of it.

Meagher says the costs to keep Wildhorse Ranch Rescue operational are $300,000 per year, or $25,000 per month. Meagher spends much of her time raising funds to keep the ranch going. For her, an 18-hour day is more

the norm than an anomaly.

None of the money used to operate the rescue goes to a salary, not even for Meagher. Everyone who works at the ranch is a volunteer.

To raise funds, the ranch has a monthly donor network of roughly 36 members contributing varying amounts. Meagher wishes the number was higher, saying 100 members each contributing $25 per month would be enough to cover the cost of hay for the animals and allow them to focus their fundraising efforts on other needs.

“We’ve never had the luxury of having a safety net with cash,” Meagher says.

“Ideally, it’d only make sense to have six months operating income in a reserve, to ensure the care will be there for these animals in need.”

Meagher also noted that, while other nonprofits can curb costs by eliminating programs, Wildhorse Ranch Rescue doesn’t have that option.

“We can’t say ‘Oops, we’re not going to feed (the animals) this month,’” she says.

“There’s no option for us.”

When she first started the ranch, Meagher got to be very hands-on with the animals she housed. But as the organization has grown—and expenses have increased—her direct time with the rescues has dwindled.

But every now and again, she gets pulled from the desk and into the pen.

“I’ll get a call from somebody who’s out at the ranch, and I’ll drop what I’m doing in the office, put my boots on and go out there,” Meagher says. “Those are some of the best moments of my life, being out there and really getting involved one-on-one in their care.”

Nursing back to health Getting at-risk animals into Wildhorse Ranch Rescue is only half the battle.

Usually when they arrive at the ranch, the equines still need a lot of tender love and, most importantly, care.

Before any of them is given medical attention, Celeste Johnson, a Mesa volunteer, says the abused animals need to learn to trust humans again.

“If the volunteers can touch and groom the horses, they have absolutely crossed the threshold,” Johnson says. “It can take years to undo the psychological See HORSES from page 8

injuries that some of these horses have been through.”

Some of the situations the horses, mules and donkeys at the ranch have come from are horrific. They frequently come in on death’s door, physically wracked and mentally broken.

“For some, it’s something that we are always going to have to deal with,” Johnson says. “It can range from problems with their hooves to digestive problems or chronic physical injury.”

The new rescues, before they have had time to learn to trust again, shake and shiver expecting to be struck instead of gently patted. The Havasu horses pose a particular challenge, Meagher says.

“We’ve heard stories that they’ve been punched in the face and that all kinds of horrible things have happened to them,” Meagher says. “Our biggest battle is just getting them to understand that when we touch them, it’s not going to hurt— that they are finally in a safe place.”

With time and gentle, steady hands, volunteers also establish relationships with the animals by speaking with them each day to reinforce that they’re not

posing a threat.

“We must be very observant, letting them take the lead. It requires a tremendous amount of patience,” Johnson says.

“Our goal is to be able to manage them emotionally first, because then we can check them medically and get them the care they need. We certainly want them to see that they are part of the family that

we have here.”

Once the psychological barriers are broken down, the horses and mules feel more at ease and are more accepting of medical attention, which ranges from applying ointment on cuts and gashes to providing specialized diets and administering medication.

Claire Bock, who started volunteering

at the ranch four years ago, says conversations and grooming allow the volunteers and the animals to develop rapport with one another.

“I love the fact that we are able to be hands-on with the animals,” she says.

“When I leave here I have a sense of accomplishment … I leave exhausted but satisfied after every shift.”

A volunteer’s love

Others agree that Wildhorse Ranch has had a positive effect on the volunteers as much as on the animals.

Tera Guenther, a Gilbert resident, has been volunteering four days a week at the ranch for the past four months. She feeds the horses, mucks the barn stalls and makes sure the animals have plenty of water during the day.

“I feel like this is my sanctuary away and a timeout from the crazy, busy days,” Guenther says. “The animals are very calming, and it’s therapeutic for me to volunteer here.”

The most important part of the day for Guenther and other volunteers is spent giving emotional care and support to the See HORSES on page 9

THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | MAY 8, 2016

HORSES from page 8

horses, donkeys and mules.

Guenther says she loves all the animals at the ranch, but made a special connection with a horse named Chip. She says it wasn’t too hard to become attached to Chip because of his intelligence and bubbly personality.

“Part of it is also his reaction to me,” she says. “I’m one of the few that gets a positive response from him. When I call his name, he will immediately stand up and come up to me.” Now, Guenther is adopting Chip.

The adoption process includes a $500 adoption fee, and a $250 monthly boarding fee at Wildhorse Ranch Rescue. That covers all the services the ranch provides such as grooming, morning and afternoon feeding, and medical attention.

Guenther wants to be sure she can be financially stable enough to care for and adopt her beloved friend.

“I don’t ever want to have to give him back and don’t want him to be in a place where he’s not safe or healthy ever again,” she says.

Once the adoption process is completed, there are stipulations for the safety and well-being of all animals.

Initially, an adoption manager checks up on the animal’s conditions twice a year.

Adopters are also prohibited from selling animals, and the ranch maintains rights so that, if at any time the adopter is unable to continue care, the adoptee returns to the ranch. That also means that, if a horse isn’t being treated well at

Feeding time for the burros. (David Jolkovski/Tribune staff)

any time, it is also returned to Wildhorse Ranch Rescue.

In all of its 21 years of operation, the ranch has only had to exercise that protective clause twice.

When it happens, it doesn’t usually go over well with the horse’s owners, but, with contract in hand, the ranch will step in.

“We bring the contract; we show them ‘You signed this. This horse is not doing well. You’re not living up to the agreement of the contract, and we are taking the horse today,’” Meagher says.

Emily Williams, who lives in Chandler, also had never been around horses until she began volunteering at the ranch five years ago. She found that working with the horses, mules and donkeys was far easier that working with cats or dogs. She says she got too emotionally attached to the small pets.

“I came out here and realized, ‘OK, I can do horses,’” Williams says. “You can’t take horses home. I was fresh off the No Horse Experience train.”

Now, Williams has plenty of experience and has developed a knack for getting in the pens with the most difficult members of the herd.

“I enjoy far more of the training side,” she says. “I take a naughty horse, like a couple of ones we have here, and work with them to bring them around.”

The best part for Meagher, Williams and other volunteers is the opportunity to save and rehabilitate horses and give them a chance at a full and healthy life.

“Once they get healthy and you bring

Tempe apartment complex fixes pet-waste problem with DNA testing

BY DANIEL OCHOA TRIBUNE STAFF

T

he Residences at Fountainhead apartment complex in Tempe is attacking pet waste with DNA testing.

To identify which pets are leaving their calling cards behind, DNA tests were given to all residents’ pets. They had their cheeks swabbed, which was not harmful to the animals. The DNA results are then kept by a private lab.

If the maintenance staff discovers owners haven’t picked up after their dogs, DNA is recovered and then sent to a private lab to be tested.

The results are then sent to the apartment’s management team. DNA testing is $75, violators are charged $250.

Currently, nearly 270 people live at Residences at Fountainhead. Nearly 20 percent are dog owners.

Nicole Spector, assistant manager and resident of Residences at Fountainhead, said the DNA testing is a great way for residents to be more accountable for

their pets at the apartment complex.

“It keeps it clean for residents and other people who walk around the grass areas,” she said. “No one wants to get fined $250.”

The DNA testing has been successful.

Only one resident has been fined since the apartment opened last April.

“People not picking up after their pet is probably the biggest complaint by residents in any apartment complex,” said Kris Tomlinson, property manager. “We don’t have that problem here because people know that if they don’t pick up after their dogs, they are going to get caught and fined. It virtually eliminates of pet waste on the property.”

For additional information about Residences at Fountainhead, or the DNA initiative, call 480-659-2534.

THE WEEK IN REVIEW Mesa student who exposed himself won’t face charges

A Mesa high school student won’t be prosecuted after police say he exposed himself in a football team picture that ended up in the school yearbook.

The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office announced that 19-year-old Hunter Osborn won’t be prosecuted on a felony charge of furnishing harmful items to minors. City prosecutors also declined to prosecute Osborn.

Police had said Osborn was arrested after they were alerted over the weekend to a Red Mountain High School team photo showing Osborn exposing his penis through the top of his waistband.

Earlier, the student was booked on 69 counts of indecent exposure and one count of furnishing harmful items to minors.

WWII veterans gather for final time

BY ERIC SMITH TRIBUNE STAFF

A

s the calendar continues to flip forward and the endless progression of time moves on, World War II veterans are becoming more and more scarce.

On Saturday, April 23, a group of WWII veterans, only nine this time, came from all over the country and convened for one last hurrah.

Zeke Prust, who lives in Tempe, is one of the nine remaining veterans, he helped organize the last-ever reunion of the members of the 10th Armored Division from WWII. Prust drove a tank through both Bastogne and the Battle of the Bulge, two of the most significant battles of the European campaign.

“I have mixed emotions,” he said. “I’ve been in charge of this for the last 10 years

as host here because we used to meet all over the world, you might say. A lot of the (materials of the 10th Armored Division) are going to a museum in Belgium and Luxembourg.”

Prust said the reunions used to draw as many as 500 attendees. For the final one, the total number, including families of the veterans, was only 66.

“It became a point where so many were dying,” he said. “So it became a smaller and smaller group.”

Prust said it was good that he got to catch up with the remaining members of the division, known as the Tigers. But he said it was also slightly lonely, as he wasn’t as close with the surviving members as he was with the members of his old unit.

“There isn’t one person here that was in my company,” Prust said. “In the battalion yes, but not in the company, so

they’re all new. But we have great camaraderie, so I’ve been very fortunate to be a part of the group.”

For the final reunion, there were restored WWII Jeeps on display that allowed the surviving veterans to examine pieces of the equipment they used and helped shape the jeeps.

And there’s still a brotherhood that binds the vets.

“We saw a film that’s going to be a documentary,” Prust said. That brought back many, many memories of Italy.”

Harry Whisler traveled all the way to Ahwatukee from Texas to attend the final gathering of his band of brothers. He said that since it has become harder for the remaining 10th Armored Division members to travel, the time is right to have the last reunion.

“I’m 94 years old so I won’t be able to

(travel) much longer,” he said. “This is a good time to shut it down.”

Chandler’s Sovereign Health provides care for women street into a treatment facility in a calming, gentle way.”

After their time in Serenity House, the women continue treatment in outpatient facilities, progressing until they are able to live on their own and complete their treatment.

“Most of those we treat have been through a lot of drug and alcohol programs in their past, but those programs weren’t focused on dealing with the trauma,” Mele said. “By the time we get them, they may have been through five, six, or even seven different programs and failed because they never had their trauma addressed.”

Chandler councilman Kevin Hartke says the facility is an important one for the city.

“I think Sovereign Health will be a strong asset for our community,” he said.

“It’s a good organization.”

For women who have suffered physical and emotional trauma, re-assimilating to everyday life can be a challenge.

Treatment is critical, especially for those who haven’t succeeded with previous therapies.

A Chandler facility, Sovereign Health of Arizona, has started a new program to help women in need of healing. Its Serenity House has been operating for about a month.

“We’re able to offer a refuge for them with other women,” said Dr. Susanne Drury, who lives in Chandler and is one of the chief doctors for Sovereign Health of Arizona. “It makes them feel safe so they can address their trauma.”

The treatment program at Sovereign Health’s Chandler facility is broken into three phases: Stabilizing the women’s emotions, processing the trauma and putting fears to rest, and then finally reconnecting them to life and helping them move forward.

Driven to success Dunn is Horizon Honor’s 1st Flinn scholar

BY JAMIE LELAND TRIBUNE STAFF

O

nly 20 high school seniors out of 791 applicants in Arizona received the Flinn scholarship this year.

Kara Dunn, a Tempe resident and senior at Horizon Honors High School, is one of them—and she is the school’s first student to receive the honor.

Flinn scholars are among the highest academic performers. To qualify for the scholarship, they must earn a minimum 3.5 GPA, score at least 1300 on the SAT or 29 on the ACT, and rank in the top 5 percent of their class. On top of that, they must demonstrate leadership in extracurricular activities.

In return, they receive full tuition to a state university, a study abroad experience in China, funding for at least one additional study abroad program, an off-campus internship and mentorship from university faculty.

They are also enrolled in an honors college or program and will enjoy support from a community of fellow Flinn scholars.

Dunn decided to transfer to Horizon, a public charter school that serves the East Valley, as a sophomore after noticing the diminishing honors and AP programs offered at Marcos de Niza High School. She left longtime friends behind for a more challenging curriculum.

“I knew it would be best for my education and that’s what counts in the long run,” she said. “It helped me to really shape myself and rely on myself.”

If there’s one word to describe Dunn, it’s driven. As an aspiring doctor, she has

Flinn Scholar Kara Dunn works on her book catalog in preparation for her AP test in AP English Literature and Composition Honors at Horizon Honors. (David Jolkovski/Tribune staff)

participated in several activities to get a head start in medicine.

She’s co-president and founder of the Horizon’s Pre-Med Club, she interns at an obstetrics and gynecology practice, and last year she went to the Dominican Republic for a medical mission trip.

“I got to work in the medical clinic and the dental clinic and the pharmacy. I actually got to pull teeth and work with the doctors and bond with the people. It was really eye opening,” she said.

“Kara is someone who is exceptionally motivated and uses her energy to positively

impact the world around her,” said Ann Shaheen, Dunn’s AP English language and composition honors teacher.

When Dunn decided to go after the Flinn scholarship, she approached Shaheen to discuss the opportunity.

“The first thing she said was, ‘The Flinn is very, very difficult to get. But you can do it.’”

Bolstered by her teacher’s confidence, Dunn worked hard on her essays and braved several difficult interviews. She says her previous experience with Tempe Sister Cities, an exchange program that lets high school students study abroad for a semester, helped

prepare her for the rigorous application process. The effort paid off. She was offered the Flinn scholarship in March and officially accepted last month.

Dunn plans to put the scholarship to good use. In August, she will start school at the honors college at University of Arizona, double majoring in physiology and nutrition with a minor in Spanish.

“I really want to study nutrigenomics and the relationship between nutrition and disease intervention and prevention,” Dunn said. To do that, she plans on studying abroad in Spain or Italy—both hot spots for nutrigenomics. She will also be joining U of A’s Undergraduate Biology Research Program, spending a summer in China, taking advantage of her second study abroad opportunity in Spain or Italy and joining the co-ed pre-medical fraternity. Her brother, a pre-med student at U of A, has urged her to join him on more medical mission trips, too.

“I really want to continue medical mission work in college,” she said. I really want to work with women’s health in foreign countries.”

Dunn says the scholarship has opened up her future prospects as well.

“Because I don’t have to worry about my undergraduate funding and my parents aren’t contributing to that, I’ll be able to go to medical school wherever I want and not have to worry so much about the financial burden.”

Dunn will also have the long-lasting benefit of experience, guidance and community.

“I’ll have a lot of mentorship and internships because of this. There are 80 Flinns that I’ll be able to collaborate with on different programs, so it’s really the community that makes it so special.”

Schools chief, board reach agreement to drop lawsuits

BY HOWARD FISCHER CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES

P

HOENIX -- State schools chief Diane Douglas and the board of education have agreed to a deal to divide up responsibilities, bringing a pair of lawsuits to an end.

The deal, to be offered by Sen. Jeff Dial, R-Chandler, would spell out in law that the education board has sole authority to hire, fire and control its own employees. Douglas had argued that the law put the workers under her purview.

In return, the board has agreed to give up

control of the investigators who look into allegations of teacher misconduct.

If HB 2620 becomes law, each side has agreed to drop its lawsuit against the other.

Board President Greg Miller praised the deal.

“The board will be able to get back to doing its business, which is trying to implement the best policies that we possibly can for kids to be successful,’’ he said Tuesday.

Douglas spokesman Charles Tack said his boss is pleased that the problems are being worked out without having to spend more time, and money, in court.

The school chief was elected in 2014,

largely on a promise to repeal the Common Core academic standards.

A month after taking office, she attempted to fire the board’s executive director and assistant, calling them “two liberal staff who have publicly stated they will block all efforts to repeal or change Common Core.’’

That move fizzled when Gov. Doug Ducey told state personnel officials to keep the pair on the payroll.

Ongoing spats eventually led the board to move its workers out of the Department of Education Building.

Douglas sued, contending state law gives her control of board employees. She also

said the board can only hire a director on her recommendation.

A trial judge sidestepped the question, calling it a political dispute. Douglas had filed an appeal.

Separately, the board sued Douglas after she refused to give its investigators remote computer access to teacher files.

Dial has been trying to work out a deal for months, pointing out that both sides are represented by attorneys being paid for by taxpayers.

Tempe seniors decorate big hats for Kentucky Derby

BY KENDALL BARTLEY CRONKITE NEWS

W

omen oohed and aahed as Betty Molina folded and glued the pink, sparkly sheer ribbon around a floppy straw hat.

Molina wanted to create something extravagant by combining pink ribbon, large pink butterflies and flowers shaded in pink. It was big, bright, and bold: perfect for the Kentucky Derby.

It was party time at Cahill Senior Center in Tempe. There weren’t any bubbly bottles of champagne, but plenty of effervescence as the women indulged their most extreme impulses to turn hats into glorious decor for the Derby.

Molina, who suggested the idea last year, said she had been giddy for a month as she thought about the upcoming decorating party. The center is known for hosting hat parties, including one with a Mad Hatter theme.

Molina wanted to cover her hat in pink after reading that pink was the original color of the Kentucky Derby.

Christina Wilson, senior recreation coordinator, said women were excited about the hat-decorating event at the monthly luncheon, attended by about

50 people.

“They have been printing ideas off the internet and gathering ideas,” Wilson said. “And seeing how big they want their hats to be and how extravagant, or how many flowers.”

Molina and her fellow hat decorators had sticky hands after gluing bows, ribbon, fake birds, and even candles.

Some women even attached beads around the edge of a hat to dangle over the side.

The big-hat tradition at the Derby was started by the founder of the Kentucky Derby in a move to make the racetrack a draw for high society, inspired by the London Epsom Derby and the Paris Grand Prix.

Not that any of the hat-decorators would be attending the Derby, which was held May 7. But they could still show off their hats at home in Arizona.

Being at the Derby is not as important as time spent at the center, Molina said.

“We consider ourselves family because without Cahill, I was headed the wrong way. They saved my life,” said Molina, who started going to Cahill after a divorce.

“This is the place to be for us seniors,”

she said.

Molina had hoped the pink palette would lead to a win in the decorating contest but her hat didn’t place in the top

list. The winners were Barbara Lindsay for most extravagant, Higinia Garcia for most elegant and Linda Flores for most creative.

Free art classes for veterans ease pain

T

he Arizona Art Alliance offers free art classes to provide a creative escape and supportive environment for war veterans.

“I was really amazed that the class actually takes your mind off of what’s normally going on,” said David James, a Vietnam war veteran who lives at a local hospital five days a week because of severe osteoarthritis. “You put your concentration into something else and you forget all about your body hurting.”

The Tempe-based group’s “Enriching Veterans’ Lives Through Art” program gives back to veterans like James to show appreciation for their years of public service.

“It allows your attention to focus on something other than your illness and your pain,” said volunteer Lisa Wayman.

The suicide rate of those who have

served in the military is 50 percent higher than the general population.

“There’s no assessment, no idea of judgment.” said Joe Fontana, art alliance founder. “We just want to help … but we’re not here to dwell on the negatives. It’s all on the positive and their creativity.”

Professional artists volunteer their time and grants pay for high-quality supplies.

“I’m working with materials I’ve never worked with before. I love it,” said Navy veteran Jack Sullivan, who did two tours in Vietnam.

The class also connects veterans with one another. The opportunity to socialize fights the isolation that sometimes plagues veterans.

“The mere fact that some folks get out of their home, the security of their home, is a big step,” Fontana said.

“Especially for veterans, socialization can be a big issue. A lot of people tend

Tempe jewelry store creates a positive outlook

Providing a tranquil state of mind through spirituality and inspiration – and jewelry – is just one service offered

by Zenned Out. Founder Cassie Uhl started her Etsy shop in 2011 before moving Zenned Out to a brick-and-mortar location in Tempe in 2014. Every piece of jewelry you’ll find at Zenned Out is individually crafted and handmade in the Tempe location.

“We are completely handmade, we’re women-run, so everything you see is created by a woman who may have the same hopes, desires and dreams you do,” Uhl says. “You can kind of feel the energy in that.”

Zenned Out creates and sells bracelets, earrings, necklaces and rings. All are customizable with more than 300 designs and 150 type styles and symbols to choose from, including zodiac, runes, animals, religious affiliations, stars, and hearts.

Uhl says every letter is individually

stamped for quotes, then the choice of finish is added. She adds that each piece requires two days to create.

Zenned Out is one of the only boutiques in the state to use sustainable practices in their jewelry making, according to Uhl. This includes recycling their metals and sourcing them in the U.S. Items made with recycled aluminum save more than 90 percent of the energy required for producing new metal, says Uhl, and the recycling doesn’t sacrifice quality, she adds.

Although aluminum is the top seller, customers can also choose from brass, copper or sterling silver pieces.

Zenned Out also uses recycled materials for their packaging, such as jewelry boxes, tissue paper and cards. Uhl also recycles her scrap metal.

“We live in such a throw-away society. Whenever I go into mall jewelry stores, I physically tense up a bit,” Uhl says, because of the waste she believes is involved.

“When you purchase something

handmade, it’s like a treasure; something you’re going to have forever. It’s not something you’re going to throw away,” Uhl contends.

Zenned Out Jewelry pieces focus on spirituality, inspiration and well-being.

Those concepts are expressed through quotes or mantras printed on the jewelry.

“Breathe” and “Be here now” are popular customer choices, in addition to inspirational messages such as “Be a voice not an echo,” and “Embrace the glorious mess that you are.”

As part of Zenned Out’s mission to help women feel positive, inspired and connected to their spirituality through their jewelry, Uhl writes and sends out a newsletter and posts information about healing topics or practices to a weekly blog.

“I want this to be a place for people who have these alternative spiritual beliefs to feel welcome,” says Uhl. “I think providing that platform really helps bring the right customers to us.”

Stephanie Riel has been one of those

customers since meeting Uhl at a networking event last fall. Riel says she has purchased mostly bracelets and bangles, her favorite jewelry forms.

As a local businesswoman herself, Riel says, “I love supporting local businesses, and definitely female-owned” ones.

On June 6, Zenned Out will be launching a new e-commerce site and will undergo rebranding. All the products will be available for purchase online, and customers will be able to customize their purchases.

“Something that’s so personalized and handmade and comes from the heart, you feel a little bit fancy wearing it,” Riel says.

DRAFT

Welcome to the family Mesa’s Fackrell more grounded than most NFL picks

BY JASON P. SKODA TRIBUNE STAFF

Kyler Fackrell was different from just about all other draft prospects during the interview sessions at NFL Combine and subsequent meetings with teams leading up to last week’s draft.

The Mesa High product is further into his life, considering he will turn 25 during his first season with the Green Bay Packers. He’s also married and the father of a 2-year-old girl.

He says his situation grounds him, keeping him at home when he’s not working out at the facility. He says he has a lot riding on his success and his ability to provide for his family.

“It definitely changed me,” Fackrell said about his daughter’s birth. “It was an amazing experience. They’re what I do this for. They’re what I work so hard for.”

In this day and age, when everything— good or bad—ends up on social media, the idea of family man ready to work can definitely sway a team against a 21-year-old single guy with a sudden infusion of cash.

His place in life isn’t the only reason the Packers made Fackrell the first East Valley product to be selected this draft, No. 88 overall in the third round.

Fackrell fits the Packers’ scheme as an outside rusher from his linebacker position at a long and lanky 6 feet 5 and 245 pounds.

He missed a good portion of his junior year because of torn ACL but returned to have a productive final season with Utah State. He finished with 36 tackles for a

loss and 12 sacks in his career.

“That injury wasn’t what I had planned, but in a lot of ways it helped me I think,” Fackrell said. “It was a blessing in disguise for our family. So we’re just grateful to be here right now until I get on the field to play with the Packers organization.”

In high school, Fackrell was the leader of the Mesa team that surprised Division I in 2009 by making it to the title game. That season, Fackrell set the tone when the team was at preseason camp in Snowflake.

“He punched a kid in order to get him straightened out,” said former Mesa coach Kelley Moore, who is now at Buckeye. “It sounds like something bad, but it was a tone setter. The kid was late, did something wrong and knew it. Kyler clocked him, the kid took it and knew it was what needed to be done.”

Moore said that mentality made him know Fackrell would be a NFL linebacker someday.

“Most people focus on what you can see,” Moore said. “He was 6-4 and lean.

When you focus on what is not seen is where you pick up on things.

“He played quarterback as a junior with a linebacker mentality. He had a rush to the outside and used a stiff arm to throw a tackler to the ground. I just knew with five years of college would be enough to get him there.”

Three other players from the East Valley were selected during the draft. A handful of others signed as non-drafted free agents with hopes of making an

impression in camp.

Mountain Pointe/Nebraska offensive lineman Alex Lewis was the second from the East Valley to go as the Ravens took the second-team Big 10 player in the fourth round and 130th overall.

Lewis spent the time between the combine and the draft working out in Arizona and visited Mountain Pointe on occasion.

“He’s a tremendous player, the best offensive lineman we’ve had,” Mountain Pointe coach Norris Vaughan said last month.

“He shows these kids what is possible.”

Next up was Chandler/UCLA running back Paul Perkins, who racked up more than 2,800 yards rushing the last two years. He was taken by the New York Giants at 149th overall in the fifth round. Hamilton/Arizona State offensive lineman Christian Westerman, who had the most reps on the bench press at

the combine, will head to camp with the Cincinnati Bengals after being selected No. 161 overall in the fifth round.

The draft’s slogan was ‘Welcome, to the family,’ and that feels like the right fit for what Fackrell can offer and what the smalltown feel that Green Bay can give back.

“I can put on 10 pounds, which will help in the run game, and I’ll continue to work on pass rushing,” Fackrell said.

“And, obviously, Green Bay is a great place to learn from the guys that are in front of me.”

And the perfect location for a man with a family in tow.

“The town, from what I hear, is my speed—our speed as a family,” Fackrell said. “I’m very excited.”

A driving force

Desert Ridge develops into title contender

BY JASON P. SKODA TRIBUNE STAFF

Cassie Forsgren was in a rush as she tried to make the commute from work to Desert Ridge in order to get on the team bus.

She managed the drive just fine, gathered with the team, made the trip to Gilbert and beat the Tigers in five sets.

There was a time she probably felt turning the Desert Ridge boys volleyball program around was as infuriating and unpredictable as rush-hour traffic. But she and the Jaguars have been in cruise control this season.

The team entered Saturday’s first round of the state tournament on Saturday as the third seed with a 29-2 record.

It is a far cry from the crash-and-burn seasons Desert Ridge had before the former Mesquite player took over the program. “We had to basically start from the beginning, and this senior class has been with me the whole way through,” she said. “We went from never having a winning season and never making the playoffs to getting into the playoffs to being one of the top seeds.

“It’s been a process but it is great seeing it come together. I figured it would be about four or five years.”

The Jaguars faced No. 14 Mountain View, a semifinalist last season, on Saturday with hopes of going much further into the tournament than the second-round exit of last two seasons. The tournament then featured a 24-team bracket.

Now with the 16-team bracket, the Jaguars are a good bet to make the semifinals if they keep playing at a high level.

They could meet No. 2 Boulder Creek, which is 41-2 with only one defeat

coming against Arizona opponents, with a state title birth on the line on Thursday.

Regardless of how the rest of the season goes, Desert Ridge has changed the perception of the program with the breakout year.

It will take more than one year of success to be considered a top program, but for this season the team has felt the change.

“Teams started to realize we weren’t the same old Desert Ridge,” said senior Justin West, a versatile outside hitter and spark-plug player. “They look at us differently, and now they put a target on as a team they want to beat.”

It was hard to imagine the program reaching the same level as Gilbert, Desert Vista, Brophy and Boulder Creek four years ago.

The current seniors went to work as freshmen, listened to Forsgren’s teachings, and joined club teams. Soon, boys volleyball wasn’t just another thing to do at Desert Ridge. It became a sport of choice.

This year, the Jaguars beat longtime sectional opponents Highland and Perry for the first time in school history. While those victories were vital to continued growth, and cemented the fact that the team has reached a different level, it wasn’t treated as the be-all and end-all.

“We wanted to let the boys know they did something the program had never done before, but it’s not the state finals,” Forsgren said. “Those wins were just steps to get where we want to go.”

The group that has helped the program get to this point includes seniors libero Mitchel Worthington, middle blocker Jacob Guerber, captain Wyatt Cohn and West. Juniors middle blocker Tanner Bowman and setter Jacob Nukols have played a role as well.

“We all came together to make our goals achievable, and they are not farfetched like they once seemed,” West said. “This is the season we’ve been waiting for. It’s our senior year. Winning state is what drives us.”

Jason Bonham has a ‘whole lotta love’ for Led Zeppelin

Jason Bonham’ Led Zeppelin Experience features Led Zeppelin “hits” and occasional deep cuts and B-sides. (Mike Corrado/Special to the Tribune)

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARANINSKI GETOUT/TRIBUNE STAFF

Bonham thinks of his late father, Jason Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, in

the fondest of ways.

He recalls playing the instrumental song “Moby Dick” with him, and he recalls the strong father-son bond. But, unlike others who have lost their dads, Bonham has the ability to share his memories on the road.

Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience comes to the Celebrity Theatre in Phoenix on Friday, May 13.

It was originally intended to be a single tour in 2010, but it has expanded to a more frequent event.

“After the first tour, it took on its own life, really,” Bonham said.

The two-hour show is an homage to the elder Bonham and features Led Zeppelin “hits”—Bonham said there were no hits,

per se—and occasional deep cuts and a bit. Some of the songs have never been B-sides. Bonham also rolls film footage of played live.” his father and his family.

Bonham became intimately acquainted “The set list is the hardest thing to decide,” with the songs when he played the O2 he said. “We actually reach out on social Arena in London with Jimmy Page, Robert media and ask fans, ‘What would you like Plant and John Paul Jones for a tribute to hear on this tour?’ show.

That said, he loves the variety his shows Bonham is quick to add, however, that he offer, including acoustic numbers or deep was “always a fan, but not like Jimmy said tracks. “That, to me, keeps it fresh for us,” in 2007, ‘the super fan.’ said Bonham, 49. “We like to change it up “When I was 13, The Police were the

big thing, and Sting. I dyed my hair blond and the whole thing. It wasn’t until dad was taken away from all of us that I started listening to music in a whole other light.”

Bonham likes to tease interviewers and fans when it comes to Led Zeppelin. When he describes his plans for the next year, he is vague about his projects, which could lead some to think that they’re about Led Zeppelin.

“There has been talk of some other things,” said Bonham, who plays drums for Sammy Hagar’s The Circle as well as Phil Collins.

“Once I know more details, I can let you know. But if everyone’s schedule works out, we could do it. That project shall remain nameless and I’ll tell you this—it’s not Led Zeppelin.”

“I didn’t know how to write a good song. After a long grind, we kind of started writing songs that we were happy with.

A year later, we recorded the album. We wanted to be proud of our actual body of work.”

That carries over into the live show, but he’s not really one to judge a Nothing but Thieves performance.

“I’d like to watch us live, but I can’t,” he said with a laugh. “It’s fun to play live. But as for a first-hand experience, it would be a lie to tell you the audience says it’s fun.”

SPIRITUAL SIDE

The gift of persistence

BY REV. SUSAN E. WILMOT TRIBUNE CONTRIBUTOR

S

ome years ago, back in the business world, I was assigned to work with a team on redesigning the corporate customer listening program. It quickly became apparent that our work was cut out for us in many different ways. We struggled against a strong and resistant corporate culture. We battled inadequate databases and highly diffused information. And, like any new group, we had the usual team formation stuff to work through, including the four stages of team life and work affectionately known as forming, storming, norming and performing.

Every member of the team had a regular workload, as well as the pressure of ensuring the team’s success. Like any good corporate team, we wanted a catchy name, preferably one we could reduce to a three letter acronym! We finally settled on calling ourselves, The Persistent Ones.

What’s really fascinating is how we define success. As far as our team work went, fulfilling our goal would define our success. We had to formulate a new customer listening program that had senior management buy-in and was a statistically valid and reliable measure our customers’ satisfaction with our products and services. In worldly terms, we succeeded.

The team became a somewhat more

permanent group working to communicate and implement the new program with both our internal and our external customers. Then the company reorganized and the team of five became a team of two doing the same amount of work. A couple of years later, the company “rightsized” and the team of two became a team of one, doing the same amount of work.

Ah, the rewards of success!

Perhaps because of some of my corporate experiences, I find God’s definition of success much more appealing. For the most part, Scripture doesn’t talk about success, especially in the way we think of it in worldly terms. Instead, we read about living into God’s love, wisdom and goodness. We also learn about faithfulness, servant leadership and obedience, among other things. For example, in 1 John 5:3-4 we read, “For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.” From 2 Peter 1:5-7 we read, “For this very reason, you must make every effort to support your faith with goodness, and goodness with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with endurance, and endurance with godliness, and godliness with mutual affection, and mutual affection with love.” The truth is God’s definition of success is measured by our persistent

faithfulness, and our consistent desire to humbly seek and follow God’s will and God’s ways. God’s definition of success is summed up in these words: “Well done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:23 KJV).

Our perspective of what success really means changes dramatically as our faith grows, and our transformation in the power of the Holy Spirit progresses. That is, success from God’s perspective. That change is evidenced by losing our selffocus, and the need or craving we sometimes feel for egotistical self-gratification and self-glorification. On the other hand, we have a heightened awareness of God’s kingdom perspective, where the focus rightly becomes the Lord, and our words, deeds and ministries of loving service are offered to the glory of God’s name.

In the meantime, we continue to thank God for the gift of persistence.

It would certainly be more comfortable to yield to the tidal wave of cultural

indoctrination, or to continue as if our faith, or life in Christ changes nothing.

So we give thanks for God’s persistent love, persistent grace and mercy. For the Lord’s persistent care and provision, as well as the Lord’s persistent hold on our hearts and lives. Only in God’s persistent love do we have the strength to endure whatever the world throws our way; to persist in listening to God; and to persist in welcoming the Lord in our hearts, and living out God’s purpose for our lives. There’s always room on God’s team of persistent ones!

COMMENTARY

Wrongheaded attacks on free trade mar this election cycle

BY TOM PATTERSON SPECIAL TO THE TRIBUNE

I

magine a world in which we each made all that we use in our daily lives. We raised animals and butchered them ourselves for meat, we tanned their hide and fashioned the leather into shoes. We cut down trees and used whatever tools we could devise to make the wood into our houses and furniture.

We grew cotton and wool, spun and wove the fibers to create textiles and sewed it into clothing. We grew our own gardens and made whatever appliances … you get the idea. The difference between that incredibly hardscrabble existence and the lives of relative luxury that we actually lead is: trade.

Trade at all levels, whether over the back fence or between nations, is a mutually beneficial exchange. We are each able to specialize in a few things we do best and trade for the rest. Trade sustains economic freedom and innovation, it creates wealth and it reduces to near zero the chance that the trading partners will go to war.

Yet free trade is under fierce attack in today’s political campaigns. Middle-class

Americans, weary of the long, slow “recovery” that has hit them especially hard, are told that their economic woes can be blamed on foreign competition.

The supposed answer is to retreat into protectionism.

Here’s why that argument sells.

America’s manufacturing sector, like the agricultural sector that employed the majority of Americans over a century ago, is undergoing a transition. Spurred by the competition of free trade and changing economic conditions (i.e., progress), it is morphing into a knowledge and service economy which, like the agricultural example, will eventually work out well.

But transition can be painful for those involved. Think of carriage makers and the first cars. Workers see their present skills devalued and their employment prospects fall. The fact that trade reduces the price of goods for all of us and stimulates our economy doesn’t mean a fig to them.

This creates an opening for demagogues to exploit this understandable fear. They claim that we should retreat and refuse to enter more trade pacts and instead erect high tariffs to protect our workers.

But even if Americans are unconcerned about the trade wars that would inevitably ensue, they should remember two words from our history: Smoot–Hawley.

That’s the tariff act of 1930 which set off a 66 percent decline in international trade and unquestionably deepened and lengthened the Great Depression.

The world has changed since then, and for the better. A combination of technological advances and deregulation initiatives later set off a golden era of interstate and international trade that has contributed to worldwide prosperity gains to this day. International trade in the U.S. has gone from $50 billion in 1966 to over $4 trillion annually.

Empirical evidence has shown that countries practicing free trade grow three times faster than protectionist countries.

Even China viewed in a longer-range time frame is an example of the mutual benefits of trade.

From the Nixon-to-China initiative to China’s entry into the WTO in 2000, the industrialization of the former economic backwater has lifted hundreds of millions of human beings out of squalid poverty. Meanwhile, western consumers have benefited from the low cost of manufacturing which has brought access to

cellphones, computers and digital TVs to the masses.

China unfortunately has embraced protectionism itself recently, like other countries following the 2008 financial crisis. They have subsidized Chinese industries and restricted competitors.

But the goal should be to restore our trading relationship, not to end it with retaliation.

It would be a great mistake for America to attempt to preserve in amber the economic conditions of today and to reject change to live in a static, isolated economic fortress. Our challenge is to confront fear and protectionism. We should advance more free-trade agreements like the Trans Pacific Partnership and work to eliminate agricultural subsidies and antidumping measures around the world, starting at home.

Instead of protecting our industries from competition, we should lower tax and regulatory barriers to make them more competitive. And above all, we should reject leaders who claim that they can “make America great again” by reducing free trade.

Prop. 124 pension-reform measure is a solid win for first responders, taxpayers, Arizona

BY MARK BRNOVICH SPECIAL TO TRIBUNE

P

roblem solving is a cornerstone of good leadership. When done right, it transcends the gridlock of fierce politics and partisanship, and moves our state in a positive direction. This is exactly the case with the pension-reform ballot measure known as Proposition 124, and it deserves our vote on May 17th.

Much of Prop. 124’s broad support can be attributed to the year-long stakeholder process that led to the creation of this measure. While months of spade work took time and the setting aside of egos and old resentments, the result was a reform plan that favored problem-solving over politics.

With the state’s public safety pension system teetering on the brink of disaster, our first responders and taxpayers need practical and sustainable change. That is exactly what Prop. 124 will provide.

The brief paragraph on the special election ballot represents the last piece of a meaningful reform package, a constitutional change that recalibrates the cost-ofliving-allowance formula for public safety workers to allow the pension refund to recover from its dangerous underfunding and $7 billion shortfall. All told, these reforms will save Arizona taxpayers more than $1.5 billion over the next 30 years. At the same time, Prop. 124 guarantees our police officers and firefighters the secure, middle class retirement that we promised them in return for the sacrifices they have

made for us.

As Arizona’s “top cop,” I’ve witnessed how skyrocketing pension costs have hamstrung law enforcement in our cities and towns. Prop. 124 reverses that trend, freeing valuable resources to improve 911 response times and ensure our first responders have the solid training and equipment to stay safe on the front lines.

Speaking of the men and women of public safety, I commend the lead role they’ve taken in the crafting of Prop. 124.

This reform would not be available to voters without their willingness to embrace a comprehensive solution that will benefit us all. Prop. 124 is supported by thousands of our cops and firefighters, each of whom has agreed to work longer, contribute more and accept a lower but more dependable

cost-of-living allowance upon retirement.

Your vote for Prop. 124 will meet the pension system crisis head on. According to an independent analysis, Prop. 124 will cut the unfunded liabilities of the public safety retirement system by 36 percent by 2045. It will also end pension spiking and provide immediate budget relief by equalizing pension contributions between employers and employees.

As an attorney by trade and a law enforcement leader by profession, I have considered the potential outcomes of Proposition 124. I see it as a solid win for all of Arizona. On May 17th, I hope you will join me in voting Yes on 124, to protect our first responders and our families.

– Mark Brnovich is the Attorney General of the State of Arizona.

High school football player’s prank was dumb, yes, but not criminal

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ TRIBUNE COLUMNIST

U

sually in this America of ours circa 2016, foolishness and a glaring lack of common sense draws condemnation and criticism. Yet in the criminally stupid case of Red Mountain High School football player Hunter Osborn—now known forever as “the kid who exposed his junk in a yearbook photo”—from the beginning I found myself sympathizing with the accused.

For this, we can thank my own years as a teenage moron—fortunately never documented by photographic evidence—and the Mesa Public Schools, whose overreaction to Osborn’s foolish prank ranks as the bureaucratic equivalent of detonating a nuke to swat a mosquito.

In case you missed the story, which went national Wednesday morning on the Drudge Report, back last August, Osborn was dared by a teammate to expose himself in the Red Mountain football team photo. Being

an 18-year-old male, which is to say at times displaying an intellect two IQ points above Neanderthal man, Osborn took the dare and openly displayed some of his manhood above the waistband of his football pants.

How many complaints did school officials receive about the prank following the photo session and while the school’s yearbook adviser and student team was assembling this soon-to-be-discarded piece of literature? None.

How many outraged Red Mountain football fans called the district after the very same photo appeared in thousands of football programs throughout the fall?

Zero.

How many times did school district officials notice Osborn’s alleged criminal activity while distributing about to 250 yearbooks to students in April? Zip. Cue the school district’s predictably droning written statement: “Upon learning of the photograph,” a Mesa Schools flack explained, “school administration immediately contacted police and is cooperating fully with the investigation.”

This “investigation” originally saw Osborn, now age 19, charged with one

count of furnishing harmful items to minors—a Class 4 felony that carries up to 3.75 years in prison—and 69 misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure.

The felony charge went by the wayside Wednesday morning, when Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery wisely declined to prosecute the case.

Hours later, amid a chorus of #FreeHunter posts on social media and news stories backing Osborn, all possibility of the teenager facing legal consequences vanished when the Mesa Police announced that the case had been closed because “all parties involved no longer desire prosecution.”

That’s great news from where I sit, given that Mesa school officials appear to have the Tale of Hunter and the Invisible Inch very much in, uh, hand—well beyond the point of absurdity.

“While the small size of the photograph as published makes the details difficult to discern,” the district’s original statement explained, “the yearbook has been recalled so the school can make a minor but critical edit for the inappropriate content.”

Pity the school staffer entrusted with

Magic Markering over 3,400 “Little Hunters” to make sure every last yearbook has been safely redacted for posterity.

As for Osborn, who told police he was “disgusted” by his actions in the photo, he still faces whatever consequences that the school district deems appropriate. We can only hope that, rather than continue to act like the penis police, the district instead decides to teach Osborn and his fellow Red Mountain students a valuable lesson.

In America, when we punish people, we do so proportionally, in a way that fits the crime.

In the case of Hunter Osborn, the exposure in question was barely indecent at all. The only crime that occurred was a criminal overreaction by embarrassed school officials who literally couldn’t see what was right in front of their very eyes.
