Allstars Staffing, which provided workers for Phoenix-area hotels including the Tempe Mission Palms, misclassified employees and failed to pay overtime, a U.S. Department of Labor investigation has ruled.

The company must pay more than $151,000 in back wages and damages after misclassifying 275 hotel employees as independent contractors.

The Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division found Allstars Staffing failed to list hundreds of servers, bussers, cooks, dishwashers and banquet staff as employees. As a result, Allstars failed to pay overtime, in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Man accused of taking cellphones from stores ABC 15

A man already on probation for cellphone theft has been arrested in connection with nine more cellphone store robberies.

Court records say that from March 4 to May 20, Styron Dale Grimmett robbed nine cellphones stores in Tempe, Mesa, Chandler and Phoenix, getting 13 phones worth nearly $7,000.

Police say Grimmett, who was already on probation for cellphone theft, would ask to look at the phones, then run out of the store. He usually had an accomplice waiting for him, with a car running.

Grimmett would sell the phones quickly either at a pawn shops or online, usually within days or even hours of the robberies, police say. He is now facing nine counts of organized retail theft.

Homeowners who xeriscape and use desert plants in their yards are less likely to run into scorpions. (Will Powers/Tribune Staff Photographer)

MONSTERS from page 1 Here’s a refresher course on how to survive the coming arachnid and insect apocalypse.

Scorpions Ancient desert peoples looked up to the night sky and were awed by the constellation Scorpius.

Scorpio is the astrological sign for those born from Oct. 23 to Nov. 21.

It’s safe to say that we’ve been alternately fascinated and terrified by the creature with the nasty venomous tail for a long time.

Arizona’s landscape and climate is a paradise for more than 50 species of scorpions, but the only one East Valley residents really need to worry about is the bark scorpion, according to Andy Baldwin, who chairs the Life Science department at Mesa Community College.

Yellowish in color, bark scorpions are small, about 2-3 inches in length, and very slender. They are predators who use their highly toxic venom to paralyze insects, and sometimes other scorpions.

By contrast, the Arizona hairy scorpion, which you also might see lurking in your garage or around your swimming pool, is 5-7 inches long and much bulkier. The hairy scorpion can crush beetles, roaches, crickets and other insects and tear them into pieces, so its venom doesn’t need to be as strong as the bark scorpion’s.

Female bark scorpions give birth during summer months to a brood of 25-35

How do you battle desert creatures?

Tell us your best tips for fighting off spiders, snakes, scorpions and bees.

Email rzubiate@timespublications.com. live youngsters, who ride around on mom’s back until they molt and can forage on their own.

The main reason humans have so many encounters with bark scorpions is because of the creatures’ ability to climb. They scamper up and over concrete block walls and scale up and down palm trees with ease. They can slip through a crack just 1/16th-inch wide under a door or around a window and, once inside, scurry up textured walls and across ceilings. They can’t get traction on glass or clean, hard surfaces such as plastic. That’s why you often see them helpless in a bathtub or shower. (They don’t come up through drains.)

If you’re a healthy adult not plagued by any serious respiratory or allergy issues, a bark scorpion bite will cause great pain for a couple of days, but usually no swelling. A scorpion-related death hasn’t occurred in Arizona for more than 40 years.

“I’ve been stung by bark scorpions a half-dozen times,” Baldwin says. “It hurts like hell — but that’s it. I’m more afraid of prickly pears.”

Baldwin says that homeowners who xeriscape and use native desert plants are less likely to experience scorpion problems than residents who create tropical

oases with irrigated lawns and swimming pools. Keeping your yard tidy — free from wood and brush piles and overgrown shrubs — also helps.

However, if you live in a scorpionprone East Valley neighborhood and have children under the age of 10 — or if you are elderly or an allergy-prone adult — you’ll want to take more aggressive action against bark scorpions.

A bark scorpion bite that causes severe swelling, jittery eye movements, muscle twitching or difficulty swallowing and breathing requires immediate medical attention. It’s always a good idea to call the 24-hour Banner Poison & Drug Information Center at 800-222-1222 after any venomous bite for advice.

Only about 100 bark scorpion bites per year in the Valley are serious enough to require life-saving — and very expensive — anti-venom, according to the ASU School of Life Sciences.

Most East Valley residents have pest control companies regularly spray for scorpions, which controls them to a certain extent, but more importantly eliminates their insect food source. If you’re lucky, bark scorpions will move on to greener pastures.

It’s prudent to seal your home up tight with caulk and weather-stripping. If you have kids and pets, you probably don’t want to blast rooms with strong pesticides. To protect infants, drop the legs of a crib in glass jars and keep the crib well away from walls. You also might want to suspend a large foam-board shield above the crib to prevent scorpions from dropping down.

At night, when scorpions leave their shaded daytime hidey-holes to hunt, adventurous homeowners can go out with a blacklight and stomp them with a heavy boot or squish them with a longhandled grabber tool. It takes diligence and time to get them under control.

Or residents can call the Scorpion Equalizer, aka Dean Andrews of Ahwatukee.

When his young daughter was frightened out of her wits by a scorpion some years ago, he hunted them down like a vengeful Liam Neeson. Neighbors asked him to rid their yards of scorpions. He learned by trial and error and built up a robust business as a pesticide-free scorpion executioner.

Andrews says when you see a scorpion in your home, kill it with a shoe, a book, a golf club — whatever’s at hand. “Don’t blow it by going to look for the perfect See

MONSTERS from page 4 killing tool. The scorpion will be gone.”

His other cardinal rule is never assume a scorpion is dead unless you’ve flattened it. He says he’s seen scorpions start twitching after dredging them up from the bottom of a pool and after being drenched in bug spray.

Killer bees Scientists prefer the term Africanized honeybees. But a recent vicious attack in Mesa’s Usery Mountain Park that killed a young man is still fresh in many East Valley residents’ minds. It also provides a grim reminder of how unpredictable, aggressive and relentless these insects can be. The hiker was stung more than a thousand times, and the swarm turned on park employees and firefighters who tried to help the victim.

When Africanized bees arrived here in the summer of 1993, they quickly mated with and overwhelmed the gentle European bee population. Assume that any bee you see in a park, in your garden or on a trail is an Africanized honeybee, says research technologist Osman Kaftanoglu, of the ASU Bee Lab in Mesa.

When outdoors, you’ll be less

noticeable to bees if you wear light-colored clothing. Avoid using scented soaps and lotions, as many odors can attract or provoke bees. The smell of a banana, Kaftanoglu says, can trigger an alarm in bees to start stinging.

This time of year, bees seek water as much as pollen, Kaftanoglu notes. Large numbers of them can gather around ponds and might become attracted to your lawn sprinklers. Bees that are busy gathering water and pollen far from the hive, however, usually aren’t a threat.

Trouble begins when people accidentally get too close to a nest. Africanized honeybees aren’t particular about where they establish a colony. It could be an irrigation box, a cavity in a saguaro, or a hole in the ground.

Be alert to an intensification of bee activity close to a hive and the steady buzz that emanates from a colony. Once stinging begins, your only recourse is to run. Pull your shirt up over your ears to protect your face and eyes. Get inside a car, house or other building as quickly as possible. Don’t dive into a pool, Kaftanoglu advised. They’ll wait for you to surface and resume stinging.

A bite from a black widow or desert Spiders (brown) recluse, on the other hand, is Although the tarantula wins the awardT:10”

COVER STORY 5 very serious and requires medical attention. The trouble with many spider bites is they often go unnoticed until swelling, pain and other symptoms appear hours later.

Baldwin of Mesa Community College says black widows like to hide under park benches and other outdoor furniture. They’ll also weave their irregular white webs inside of barbecue grills and around pool pumps and storage areas.

The spider itself is large and black, with a distinctive red hourglass marking on the abdomen.

The desert recluse is small and brown and has three pairs of eyes (most spiders have eight eyes). Markings on its back may resemble a violin shape. It’s more of a hunter and can turn up almost anywhere a scorpion would. Baldwin says whenever he needs a recluse for a demonstration, he goes into the garage and opens up a box of Christmas ornaments.

Its bite is dangerous.

“It’s the only thing I ever kill,” says Kaftanoglu. “Everything else I just pick up and throw outside.”

Arizona Students Association suit vs. regents allowed Saying there’s evidence of illegal retaliation, a Federal Appeals Court gave the go-ahead for the Arizona Students Association to sue the Board of Regents to get back money the group says was illegally withheld.

In a unanimous ruling, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said there was enough evidence to support the claim that the regents financially undermined the student group because of its support of a 2012 initiative to hike taxes for education. That measure was opposed by Gov. Jan Brewer, Republican lawmakers and several board members.

After that initiative was defeated, the regents voted to suspend fee collection for the association.

The board later agreed to collect it, but only from students who first agreed to pay it. Finding itself without any funding, the association filed suit. The ruling, however, does not mean money will again start flowing to the association. Unless overturned on appeal, it means only that the trial judge who initially threw out the case now will have to consider it.

Islamic center mourns, honors Muhammad Ali Dozens of people gathered at the Islamic Community Center of Tempe to honor Muhammad Ali and his legacy.

Ali was known as a devout Muslim and champion of the civil rights movement. He was raised Baptist, but converted to Islam in the 1960s and changed his name to Muhammad Ali to get away from what he called his “slave name” Cassius Clay.

Many Muslims who spoke during the prayer service said they respected Ali for being a strong Muslim, and standing up for his faith, even in controversial times.

“He was unapologetically black and unashamedly Muslim,” said Angelica Ali, a Muslim community activist.

Muhammad Ali died June 3 at a Scottsdale hospital.

Gila monsters are big, bad and not that common

Griffin Logue, an exhibits coordinator at Mesa Community College Red Mountain, handles a Gila monster.

(Will Powers/Tribune Staff Writer)

BY MIKE BUTLER TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

W

ouldn’t you know, the largest species of lizard native to Arizona is also venomous.

Growing to about 2 feet long and weighing in at about 5 pounds, Gila monsters get their name from the Gila River Basin. It’s a rare event to even see a Gila monster, because it spends most of its time in burrows.

When hunger strikes, Gila monsters move above ground to prey on the eggs of birds, lizards and snakes. They might also feast on ground-nesting birds and newborn rodents.

Unlike rattlesnakes, it’s almost impossible to be accidentally bitten by a Gila monster. You’d have to corner it or pick it up. If you are bitten, you’ll never forget it. The bite from the lizard’s powerful jaws and its venom cause intense pain, often serious enough to require hospitalization.

The Gila monster tends to hang on, too, so you or someone with you may have to pull it off. The longer it’s on you, the more venomous the bite.

How I survived a scorpion sting

BY SRIANTHI PERERA TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

L

ast summer, I was stung by a scorpion and saved by a red onion.

The scorpion was camouflaged among the folds of a brown and green floral duster on the kitchen counter, so I failed to see its all-too-familiar curved tail or its segmented body.

I reached for the duster on the kitchen counter. At the moment of contact, in addition to touching fabric, I felt a sharp sting on the back of my left hand and, almost immediately, a pain that traveled rapidly up the arm.

My house guest from Sri Lanka rushed into the kitchen to investigate the cause of my panic-stricken yelp. When I explained and pointed accusingly to the small amber creature that was now scurrying along the rim of the kitchen sink, she didn’t reach for the phone to call Poison Control or 911. Instead, she reached in to one of the kitchen drawers and retrieved a large red onion, which she proceeded to peel and cut into quarters.

It wasn’t time to make the salad, so I watched, wordlessly. After living in Arizona for 12 years, and encountering countless numbers of the creatures in the

backyard, inside the house and even one seemingly frozen on the bedroom ceiling directly above my bed, this was my first scorpion sting.

I tried to recall the typical symptoms.

Blurred vision, numbing, twitching muscles and even trouble breathing didn’t come to mind then. The anti-venom doesn’t come cheap here. Although a shot costs about $100 in Mexico, a local woman had received a bill a while back for more than $80,000 from a hospital in Chandler after receiving two doses of it.

But all this I read later.

I continued to nurse my arm, which by now had swelled slightly and was a trifle numb. I was experiencing intensifying ripples of pain.

My guest took my hand, squeezed onion juice onto the bite site and began rubbing the onion back and forth. She also handed me a tablet of piriton, an antihistamine. Twenty minutes later, the pain stopped intensifying, and gradually reduced. The next day, the arm felt heavy and was still swollen, but the pain had receded into the background.

My guest explained that, In tropical Sri Lanka, red onion juice is also used to soothe bites from mosquitoes, fire ants,

The typical symptoms of a scorpion sting include blurred vision, numbing, twitching muscles and even trouble breathing.

Scorpions, spiders and bees – Oh my! Myths and facts BYMIKE BUTLER TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

Y

ou’re bound to hear a lot of folklore from Arizona old-timers about venomous bites and the indigenous critters that inflict the damage.

While entertaining and well-meaning, many of those stories are wrong, despite the sources’ sincerest attestations.

Many myths focus on the icon of the Sonoran Desert, the rattlesnake, but there are some doozies about scorpions, too.

Most outdoor-savvy hikers know that it’s actually pretty difficult to get attacked by a diamondback without provocation.

Andy Baldwin, chair of Life Science at Mesa Community College, said that – compared to killer bees, scorpions and spiders – rattlesnakes are mannerly. “They give you many chances to walk away.’’

When you see a rattlesnake, and it sees you, its first instinct is to flee. If it can’t escape, it will coil up. Baldwin said rattlesnakes commonly employ a bluff strike to get you to back away before they resort to biting.

If you are bitten, you need to get to an

emergency room pronto. But there are many ‘don’ts.’

• Don’t panic.

• Don’t do anything like what you may have seen in an old Western, such as cutting the bite and sucking out the venom.

• Don’t restrict blood flow with a belt or tourniquet.

• Don’t waste valuable time trying to kill the snake and bring it to the hospital.

Treatment is not snake-specific, according to Banner Health.

As for those old stories, here’s the skinny on some of Arizona’s most dangerous creatures: Myth: Rattlesnakes grow a new rattle each year.

Fact: Rattlesnakes grow a new rattle each time they shed their skin. That could be three times a year when food is plentiful and fewer times when nourishment is scarce.

Myth: Baby rattlesnakes can’t control their venom.

Fact: This is sometimes said about baby scorpions, too. Both are false.

Metabolically speaking, venom is a costly

substance to make. It takes time to manufacture, and during that time the venomous creature is defenseless. If baby scorpions and rattlesnakes couldn’t control their venom, they wouldn’t survive.

Myth: A baby scorpion bite is worse than that of an adult.

Fact: The venom in a baby scorpion’s stinger is no more or less potent than an adult’s.

Myth: Scorpions bite Fact: Nope. It’s that barb on the tail you need to worry about.

Myth: Scorpions will sting themselves to death if surrounded by fire or sprayed with alcohol.

Myth: Scorpions will sting themselves to death if trapped by fire or come into contact with alcohol.

Fact: In the throes of a traumatic death, scorpions will lash out at anything they can and sometimes hit their own body. But they’re not really trying to kill themselves – Reach Mike Butler at 480-898-6581 or at mbutler@timespublications.com.

East Valley cities help residents prepare for monsoon season

BY ERIC SMITH TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

A

s the mercury starts to climb and the summer explodes into full force, so too do the monsoon storms and the damage they can cause.

In the past couple of years, severe summer storms have wreaked havoc on the East Valley. Residents like Tempe’s B.J. Ayers are taking precautions to protect their homes.

Ayers was out at a Tempe sandbag-filling event Tuesday in preparation for the eventual storms.

“One year, my whole lower backyard flooded,” she said. “Luckily, my house sits up high enough it didn’t get damaged, But I was told I should get sandbags to put under my RV gate because water was coming into the alleyway and flowing underneath.”

Sandbags are one way to help protect property from flooding caused by heavy monsoon rains. With all of the concrete and asphalt in East Valley cities, the water has no ability to seep into the ground.

Tempe offers sandbag filling and pickup locations at both the Tempe Field Services office at Rio Salado Parkway and Priest Drive, and the Benedict Sports Complex at 490 W. Guadalupe Rd. throughout the monsoon season.

Flooding isn’t the only damage homeowners can suffer during monsoon season. Experts say low-hanging tree branches should be trimmed to prevent them from swinging wildly and causing damage to homes.

Eric Skoog of Sunvek Roofing, which services the East Valley, said keeping gutters and storm drains clear can help prevent flooding and roof damage.

“It’s important to make sure the roof drains are not plugged with debris so that water can get off the roof. You don’t want to get a lake up there and have your roof collapse,” he said.

Storm-inflicted roof damage can be extremely costly. Skoog said that he receives hundreds of calls for roof repairs after major storms. Repairs can cost $1 to $5 per foot of roofing.

But, for the most part, cities have resources available for storm warnings and information on road closures and affected city services.

For Ayers, she’s grateful that cities are doing their part to help residents out.

“One of the things that has always impressed me about Tempe is how it helps out its residents,” she said.

What to do when the storm hits • Have a three-day emergency pack filled with water, some food, spare batteries and any medication you may need in case of a disaster.

• Flood water can be extremely dirty.

Wash hands thoroughly after coming in contact with flood waters and don’t let children play in the water.

• Call 911 in case of a downed power line or debris blocking a road. For debris not blocking a major roadway, call your

local police’s non-emergency number.

McCain’s U.S. Senate seat among those being contested

John McCain is trying for his sixth six-year term as U.S. senator. Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick awaits the Republican nominee in the general election. (Special to the Tribune)

BY HOWARD FISCHER CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES WRITER

A

rizona voters will have key decisions to make Aug. 30 in the statewide primary. And while the candidates running will all have party affiliations, the independents who make up more than a third of all registered voters are free to pick up and vote the ballot of any party.

There are only two statewide races this year.

Incumbent John McCain is trying for a sixth six-year term in the U.S. Senate. If he can hold off several Republican challengers, he goes up against Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick, currently a member of the House of Representatives.

Three seats are up for grabs at the Arizona Corporation Commission.

Incumbent Republican Bob Burns wants another four-year term. And Andy Tobin, appointed by Gov. Doug Ducey in January to replace Susan Bitter Smith, is hoping for a full term of his own.

But three other Republicans also have eyes on the seats, including state Rep. Rick Gray, former state Sen. Al Melvin and former Chandler Mayor Boyd Dunn.

Bill Mundell, who once served as a commissioner as a Republican, is back now as a Democrat, running on a ticket with former state lawmaker Tom Chabin.

All nine congressional seats are up for grabs, as are the 30 seats in the state Senate and 60 in the state House.

But a few races are all but decided absent an independent qualifying for the general election ballot or a write-in candidate.

For example, current Rep. Karen Fann, R-Prescott, is the lone candidate from any party for state senate in her legislative district. Ditto for incumbent Democratic senators Olivia Cajero Bedford and Steve Farley of Tucson, Lisa Otondo of Yuma, Katie Hobbs of Phoenix and Lupe Contreras of Avondale.

Republicans Debbie Lesko of Peoria, Bob Worsley of Mesa and John Kavanagh of Fountain Hills also find themselves with a free ride.

And at least one state House race also failed to gather more than two candidates, the number of representatives in each district.

Republican Clair Van Steenwyk, a resident of Sun City West, has filed to run both for the U.S. Senate and for the U.S. House of Representatives for the seat currently held by Trent Franks.

Matt Roberts, a spokesman for the secretary of state’s office, said Arizona law clearly prohibits anyone from being a candidate for more than one state office.

“But it isn’t clear whether it prohibits federal candidates from doing so,’’ Robert said.

He said the decision was made to allow Van Steenwyk to file both sets of nominating papers and allow anyone who wants to challenge that decision to take it to court.

Flying a tattered flag?

Dispose of it properly instead

Flying a flag in good condition is right any day, but Flag Day, June 14, is a great time to start. Proper disposal of tattered flags is available in the East Valley. (Will Powers/Tribune Staff Writer)

BY MIKE BUTLER TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

T

here are a number of opportunities to fly the Stars and Stripes this summer, starting with Flag Day on Tuesday.

And that makes it a good time to brush up on your flag etiquette.

First, you shouldn’t display a torn and tattered flag. Ed Mangan, the new commander of American Legion Post 64 in Ahwatukee, said he suspects many East Valley residents do that because they don’t know how to properly dispose of an old flag.

He suggested contacting your nearest American Legion or Veterans of Foreign Wars post to see if it will take the damaged flag for you. If it does, the staff will retire the flag properly by burning it.

Mangan said his post has collected more than 400 old flags over the past year and will burn many of them at its annual Flag Day ceremony, which the public is invited to attend. The ceremony starts at 7 p.m. at the Ahwatukee Retirement Center, 5001 E. Cheyenne Dr. American Legion Post 35, 2240 W. Chandler Blvd. in Chandler, encourages homeowners to put damaged flags in its outdoor drop box.

You can burn a flag on your own, although you should probably do it discreetly so neighbors don’t think you’re

desecrating it in protest.

Despite reports to the contrary, you are not required to dispose of a flag if it accidentally touches the ground. You can clean it if necessary, but as long as a flag remains suitable for display, you’re good.

Residents and business owners should also take care not to fly the flag at half staff indiscriminately. It’s proper to put the flag at half staff on certain holidays, such as Memorial Day (sunrise to noon) and Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (sunrise to sunset). You can also lower the flag when encouraged to do so by the president of the United States or the governor.

On half-staff days, raise the flag to the top before lowering it. Raise it to the top again before lowering it and putting it away for storage. You may fold the flag in a rectangle for storage. The triangular fold is a strictly military tradition.

Outdoor flags should be displayed from sunrise to sunset, but it’s OK to fly them at night if they’re illuminated. It’s also OK to display a flag horizontally or vertically against a wall – just make sure the union (the blue field of stars) is top left, as seen by an observer. This is also often referred to as the flag’s own right.

Valley social media influencers work together to find success in wide-open market

BY TAMARA KRAUS CRONKITE NEWS

T

he best way to become a social influencer? Don’t try to be one.

That’s the advice of official “Pinfluencer” Alex Evjen, a Chandler resident known for her fashion blog, Ave Styles.

When the recession hit, Evjen transformed her side blog into a serious job—one she could live off of. So she started styling her friends and her clientele quickly grew.

“I felt like there was this artist in myself that was dying inside,” Evjen said. “I had always dreamed of being in the fashion industry, but living in Arizona, there are just not a lot of opportunities.”

But social media solved that problem.

From Pinterest “Pinfluencers” to fashion bloggers to YouTubers, the Valley is home to a number of creative influencers who landed in careers—many accidentally and largely because Phoenix isn’t saturated with influencers like larger cities such as New York or Los Angeles.

Some are like Evjen, who quit her public relations job to be a full-time

influencer, while others post sponsored pictures on Instagram as a side gig.

For most people, it takes at least a few years to build a social following and become an influencer. But now bloggers and businesses have more help to kickstart their venture than before.

Big fish in a small pond Bloguettes, a local group that educates people and businesses about blogging, branding and creating engaging social media content, was launched two years ago by Sakura Considine and Lorena Garcia because they said the blogging community was lonely.

“Two years ago when you wanted to learn anything, it didn’t matter if you wanted to be a blogger or if you wanted to put your business online, there were no centralized resources,” Garcia said.

“All of us were learning by ourselves.”

Now, the Bloguettes host two-day workshops across the country, mini workshops for photography and branding and even online webinars for those who can’t make it in person.

So why are Valley influencers so successful, even though they’re not close to the big brands they’re collaborating with?

Alex Evjen always knew she wanted to be in fashion, but her public relations job didn’t allow her to tell her own stories. She started a blog. (Rennai Hoefer/Special to the Tribune)

“I think we are all willing to help one another. In other cities, I’ve heard that there’s a lot of competition,” Considine said.

Considine had planned to move to Los Angeles after she graduated from Arizona State University, but said there’s no way she can now.

“People always ask, ‘Do you wish you would have gone to L.A.’ or ‘Do you wish to take Bloguettes to somewhere bigger?’

I think we were able to grow in a short period of time because we were kind of a big fish in a small pond,” Considine said.

The Pinfluencer Evjen started her blog in 2009 as simply a creative outlet for fashion.

Everything changed when she attended a blogger conference called Altitude Summit in Lake City, Utah. There, the co-founder of a new company called Pinterest handed her his business card asking her to try the new discovery tool.

She ignored it. But after a friend persuaded her to use it, she signed up through an invite-only email. Her styling business was transformed. Evjen asked her clients to pin their favorite pictures to a board so she could find out about their personality and style.

“Right away I thought, ‘This is exactly what I need. I can organize all of my personal styling clients into these boards and I can shop for them.’ I didn’t even see the capabilities of virtual styling at the time,” she said.

While Pinterest boosted her styling business, she never thought global brands would become her main—and eventually only—clientele.

Now, she no longer has her styling business because her “Pinfluencing” collaborations have skyrocketed. CocaCola, Glamour, and Dolce and Gabbana are just a few companies she has created Pinterest boards for.

The Fashion Blogger Lauren Garcia, or “Lola,” is an executive assistant by day and a fashion blogger by night—and on the weekends.

Garcia started her lifestyle blog in 2011 when she was living in New York. But it was when she moved to Phoenix that her Instagram following surpassed that of the fashion magazine Redbook, currently at about 57,900 followers. She saw an increase in traffic once she started featuring everyone’s favorite internet obsession—dogs—once a week on her blog.

“I transitioned to fashion, and it was mainly kind of on accident,” Garcia said.

“I wanted to incorporate rescues to get noticed, and I figured a great way to get them noticed would be by adding them to a fashion shoot.”

On her blog, she started “Dog of the Week,” which features a rescue dog needing a home.

Garcia is also famous by association, which she said has definitely boosted her Instagram game. Her husband JJ Garcia is the brother of the Bella Twins, who are WWE wrestlers and the stars of E!’s “Total Divas” reality show.

So have the Bella Twins helped her blog’s success?

“Definitely. 100 percent,” she said. “(But) you can tell the difference between people commenting ‘Bella Twins!’ (on my posts) or actual followers.”

TicketForce building in Downtown Gilbert will be women-focused

BY SRIANTHI PERERA TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

D

ignitaries and community members from Gilbert emphasized the key role women will play in Downtown Gilbert’s long-expected TicketForce building by donning pink hard hats during the groundbreaking.

The message from the entertainment ticketing company’s CEO Lynne King Smith was that Building 313, as it will be called, will be important to women.

In addition to housing her company, it will host a co-working space for women called “Thrive.”

“This building is a real celebration of the opportunities that we have and to support women in business. That’s why the pink hard hats,” King Smith said, addressing the gathering recently in the long and narrow dirt lot sandwiched between Bergie’s Coffee Roast House and the soon-to-come Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row. The space is directly opposite Snooze, an A.M. Eatery.

In a short speech, Gilbert Mayor John Lewis reiterated the firsts for the building: the town’s first woman-focused building and perhaps its first rooftop bar, the Heritage District’s first North American company headquarters and owner-occupied commercial building.

“It’s a cool project,” he said.

King Smith, together with husband Brad, founded the business in their Gilbert garage more than a decade ago, building on a database he managed that linked youth organizations across the state.

Subsequently, the duo learned how to do promotions, security, group sales, will-call and other aspects of concert organizing.

They sold 7,000 tickets for their first online concert.

“It went really well; we thought we’ll do Arizona,” King Smith recalled. “Then someone in California called and asked us.”

TicketForce serves large, established venues such as performing arts halls, convention centers and race sites, new and growing venues and event promoters across all states and Canada. In addition

At the groundbreaking for TicketForce in the Heritage District of Gilbert, participants wore pink hard hats to depict the building’s importance to women. (Srianthi Perera/Tribune Staff)

to ticketing and box office management, it offers customized solutions to business owners.

Next spring, TicketForce will move its 20 employees, currently in an office on Baseline Road in Mesa, to the second floor of the new 15,000-square-foot, three-level building.

Its ground floor will add a yet-tobe named restaurant or brewery to the eclectic restaurant mix on Gilbert Road. Its third floor will host a taproom of Gilbert’s own Arizona Wilderness Brewery, which plans to serve specialty beer, handcrafted liquors, bitters and wines. Its rooftop bar would overlook Postino East and downtown’s iconic Water Tower.

“We’re being very selective because we’re going to work there,” Smith said, referring to the ground-floor restaurant.

“It’s an owner-occupied building, so we want to enjoy who we work with every day. We’re looking for a farm-to-table, something unique.”

Smith has also been selective in her choice of construction company for the $3.3 million project. After designing the building with the help of one company, she chose another for the construction, and it just happened to be headed by a woman.

In fact, she got on so well with Lorraine Bergman of Caliente Construction that she invited her to partner in the project.

No stranger to construction along Gilbert Road, Bergman’s Tempe-based company has handled several projects since 1994, including the Gilbert Chamber of Commerce, Landings

Credit Union, Oreganos Pizza Bistro and the revamp of Liberty Market.

Meanwhile, TicketForce’s interior design has been assigned to Dina Rosas of Phoenix-based De Rosas Interior Architecture Design Group.

“The space is going to be very open,” Rosas said. “It’s collaborative. We’re focusing on feminine curves.”

King Smith said that the design is collaborative because the team is used to working together.

Other design features include quiet spaces and a relaxation room.

Meanwhile, Thrive would work primarily on a membership basis, with participants paying an annual fee to gain access to seminars and workshops, although they would also be available on

a piecemeal basis.

More than anything, King Smith is hoping that women will make connections, which, in turn, will spark collaborations to help advance themselves.

“It’s a work space, but networking is what happens with co-working,” King Smith said. “You meet others with skills.”

King Smith said she can’t preclude men from attending, but felt that the focus should be on women because they are lagging behind in business leadership.

“It’s a business with a mission,” she said.

The Smiths, who have been married for 33 years, moved to Arizona in the 1980s after meeting while at college in Upstate New York. They have three daughters, who are grown and out of the family home.

The path to Building 313 has not been smooth. King Smith referred to overcoming several roadblocks at the groundbreaking.

“We’re not commercial real estate developers. I run a ticketing company. I know how to do that,” she said.

“Literally, I do not know what I’m doing except that I have a vision for a space that’s going to be very different from anything else I know.”

Dinosaur classes excite young learners

BY SHELLEY RIDENOUR TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

N

ot much excites 4-year-olds like dinosaurs.

So, on Monday mornings the Arizona Museum of Natural History is a darn exciting place to spend a few hours.

The downtown Mesa museum is hosting a series of “prehistoric preschool” classes for little kids, helping them learn about dinosaurs and teaching them skills they’ll need in a classroom.

It was non-stop action last Monday, built around the theme of dinosaur superheroes.

Some kids donned superhero capes which flew behind them as they raced to find a particular-color plastic dinosaur from a giant tub of toys.

The capes whipped around as they popped out of the slide built inside a Triceratops replica.

Tiny screeches and squeals were the norm. It almost seemed as if the kids were having so much fun they didn’t realize they were learning at the same time.

But learning is what it’s all about, museum Education Curator Kathy Eastman said.

It was evident during one session led by museum Educator Allison Stoltman.

She told the kids that the T. rex’s superpower was in its nose — it had a great sense of smell. Stoltman passed around a carton filled with plastic eggs that had

something inside. Kids were supposed to sniff the eggs and pick out one that smelled odd. This was a hidden lesson about the importance of one of the five senses.

Some of the eggs contained things like beads, yet the kids insisted those smelled weird. At least one boy pegged the smell of spices. Inside his egg was an herbal tea bag.

Stoltman had the kids wear a soft version of a T. rex tail to learn how a dinosaur used its tail as a weapon. While holding the tail band around their waist, the kids tried to swing it to knock down “would-be attackers,” a huddle of small

stuffed dinosaurs perched on the floor.

A decade or so ago, when Eastman joined the museum staff, she said she realized the need to get preschoolers into the museum.

So, she developed programs to engage “our youngest learners in active science learning.”

So far, she’s found that the programs empower and entertain the kids. A winwin, certainly.

Eastman is especially excited when she sees those kids later return to the museum with their parents. The kids end up explaining exhibits to mom and dad. “They become the educators,” she

said.

Preschool camps continue Mondays in June. Classes for kids ages 6 to 12 are held in June and July. An overnight camp is planned the night of July 8, celebrating the next “Ice Age” movie sequel that gets released that day.

A full schedule of classes and events can be found on the museum’s website, AzMNH.org or a brochure can be picked up at the museum’s front desk at 53 N. Macdonald St. – Contact Shelley Ridenour at 480-898-6533 or sridenour@evtrib.com.

Mesa sets water donation goal at half-million bottles

BY SHELLEY RIDENOUR TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

C

ollecting a half-million bottles of water is the goal for this year’s hydration campaign conducted

by Mesa.

For the past 10 years, city leaders have encouraged people to donate bottled water for distribution to those who need water during the summer. Once the water is gathered, it’s given to nonprofit organizations, including Paz De Cristo, Mesa United Way, United Food Bank and A New Leaf East Valley Men’s Center.

Last year, the city collected a record 836,154 bottles of water for summer distribution, exceeding the goal of 400,000 bottles. Last year’s number was boosted by a one-time donation of 195,600 bottles from Valley Transit Contractors.

They had used the water to test movement on the light-rail cars after the line was extended into downtown Mesa last summer.

“The risks of dehydration are great for anyone exposed to the triple-digit temperatures, especially those who are homeless or don’t have a place to easily get out of the sun,” Mesa Fire and Medical Deputy Chief and Public Information Officer Forrest Smith said.

Several special events are planned this summer to encourage water donations.

Donors at the Rhodes Aquatics Complex will receive a 2-for-1 admission ticket.

Anyone who donates a case of water at Golfland Sunsplash any Wednesday in June or July also gets a 2-for-1 admission ticket.

At thirsty Thursdays at USA Skateland Mesa, a case of water gets one free admission from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

Customers who donate water to the guest services office at the Fiesta Mall get a free gift.

People can donate water at 19 sites in Mesa.

Drop-off sites open 24 hours a day include: • Mesa Fire Department volunteer center, 2830 E. Adobe; • Mesa Community College Southern and Dobson, 1833 W. Southern Ave., Building SC14; and • Mesa Community College Red

Mountain, 7110 E. McKellips Road, Ironwood Building.

Other drop-off sites are: • Red Mountain Multigenerational Center, 7550 E. Adobe, 5:30 a.m.-9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays; 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturdays; • Rhodes Aquatic Complex, 1860 S. Longmore, 1-7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 1-6 p.m. Saturdays, 1-5 p.m.

COMMENTARY

Graduation decision, stipend for teachers are befuddling moves by school districts

BY MIKE MCCLELLAN TRIBUNE CONTRIBUTOR

S

o as a retired teacher, I’m a little dazed and confused these days.

And not just because I’m old.

No, I’m a bit befuddled by actions a couple of districts have taken lately.

One is my old district, Mesa, and the school where I taught for 30 years, Dobson High School.

The administration made a truly stupid decision about graduation this year, one many of you have read about.

A senior, Stephen Dwyer, was 2.5 credits short of graduating. Because he missed most of his junior year. Seems he had to fight cancer. Again.

And because he was short, the administration would not accede to his request: to wear a cap and gown and sit with his fellow seniors graduation night.

Instead, he walked in with them, minus cap and gown, and then walked into the

stands. As the district allowed. He was also allowed to return, after the ceremony, in cap and gown, to mingle with the grads.

Now, as a teacher, I was a hard-nose.

I was one who said to sorrowful seniors, “Sorry, 52% is not close to 60%. You failed.” And in a few sad cases, they didn’t graduate.

That was on them, however.

This kid, Stephen, didn’t ask to graduate; he only wanted to experience the ceremony with kids he went through school with, who supported him in his nowsuccessful fight with a deadly disease.

So I get that.

But the Powers That Be didn’t.

Which kind of irritates me. Because they know that among those seniors were kids who had a teacher or two who gave them unrealistic breaks in order to walk.

Perfectly capable kids who chose not to study or do the work. So teachers gave them enormous extra credit points. Or who allowed the students to make up work from months ago.

It happens every year in almost every school. And every administrator knows that.

Did those kids deserve to walk? Well, they did have the grades to qualify, not matter how problematic those grades might be.

But here’s a kid who did everything right, who had a 4.2 GPA his senior year, who made up all but 2.5 credits of the time he lost, who was elected Student Body President, and all he wanted is to participate in the ceremony.

This is no precedent-setting action. This is what smart administrators and teachers do all the time: take into account an individual case that is the exception to the rule.

Meanwhile, over in Gilbert, the school board is a little cheap these days.

Bewilderingly so.

With the Prop. 123 monies, they have decided to richly reward all full-time employees with a $500, one-time stipend.

If enrollment doesn’t drop off, that is.

For teachers and building administrators, the folks on the front lines of education, that amounts to about $2 a day. That

and a quarter will get them a cup of coffee.

It’s puzzling. The district has some other priorities, of course, but you’d think attracting and retaining good teachers and principals would be highest on their list.

And to be fair, the board did reward long-time employees with a 6 percent raise. From override funds.

But of the millions the district will get next year, the board has apparently decided to pay teachers an additional $2 a day. For one year. One time.

And this from a district that has bled teachers and administrators over the past three years, many going to higher-paying districts?

It’s a head-scratcher. But one that they still can correct. The board meets in June to hammer out a budget. One member, Julie Smith, has already called for higher pay from Prop. 123. Let’s see if the others follow her lead.

Order a coffee from a person and you’ll see why robots are the future

BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ TRIBUNE CONTRIBUTOR

W

hen did I begin to root for artificially intelligent robots to triumph over humans in the American workplace? I can tell you precisely. It was the afternoon last week when I drove away from a coffeehouse along University Drive in Tempe and took a big slug from my 20-ounce iced Americano.

And discovered that my overpriced coffee drink lacked the artificial sweetener I had instructed the barista to add at least three different times.

Driving away, I began to hope in earnest that Rice University computer scientist Moshe Vardi is correct in his prediction for the future. Vardi believes that by 2045, about half the planet’s workforce will have been replaced by robots. As he put it in a presentation to the American Association for the Advancement of Science, “We are approaching a time when machines will

be able to outperform humans at almost any task. I believe that society needs to confront this question before it is upon us: If machines are capable of doing almost any work humans can do, what will humans do?”

My thought: We’ll get nicer and more creative. Or we’ll learn to enjoy working for HAL 9000 from “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

Clearly, mere mortals are not likely to match machines when it comes to cold, clinical efficiency and speed, or in performing feats of strength — at least based on my repeated viewings of most of the “Terminator” flicks. However, even a cursory review of AI research shows that people can trump robots in areas like sensing emotions and exercising creativity.

That’s good news, or so it might be.

I mean, if human beings can’t get your order straight, the least they could do is be super nice while screwing it up. Or, in the alternate, try to find some novel way to make you happy about the disconnect

between the service you’re seeking and the garbage you’re getting.

Sadly, such a commitment to delivering on promises and connecting with customers is rarely the rule in business circa 2016. That failure appears prevalent when it comes to low-level tasks — think the kid intent on selling you a larger soda at the movies “for 50 cents more,” but who can’t remember which drink you ordered for longer than 3 seconds — and true when it comes to more sophisticated transactions. In the past few months, I’ve spent hours getting new cable TV hardware, then returning it when it failed to do what the cable company claimed. I’ve also attempted to negotiate with a Valley air conditioning company that advertises that it has spent the past 40 years making Arizonans happy, but couldn’t have botched my home install worse if they had decided to cool our house by putting a handful of ice cubes on the roof.

It’s hard to fathom robots doing a worse job than humans in many familiar

workplace circumstances. Have you been to airport lately and used the selfticketing kiosk versus talking to an airline ticket counter person? Or decided to self-checkout at your local grocery store versus dealing with a harried cashier? I’ll take the machine over its human counterpart most any day of the week, and twice on crowded holidays and double coupon Wednesdays.

If the plight of the American worker looks bleak, well, maybe that will occasion a much-needed behavior change. Perhaps in the face of automated accuracy, we will rediscover the human touch we seem to have lost. Or we won’t and I will end up a satisfied 80-year-old, ferried by a selfdriving car to Automatic Coffee, where a nameless, faceless robot will, for once, get my damned coffee order right.

OPINION

THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | JUNE 12, 2016

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Socialism isn’t a failure, it’s a necessity

Tom Patterson’s assumption that the reason young people are flocking toward Socialism (“Patterson: Socialism has gained popularity because we have forgotten the horrors of the past,” June 4) is way off base.

He states that “clearly, our younger generation’s infatuation with socialism is an educational failure.” The real reason that many Americans (not just the younger generation) are flocking toward Socialism is due to outrage over the economic opportunities that no longer exist in this country for the middle class.

In Robert Reich’s book “Beyond Outrage,” Mr. Reich explains what has gone wrong with and how to fix our economy. Reich has served under three presidents, both a Republican and two Democrats, and is an expert on our economy. These two points that he makes: “For three decades, almost all the gains in economic growth have gone to the top” (meaning the wealthiest Americans) and “government budgets are squeezed,” by my reckoning, and account for the overwhelming demand for change from how the economy and government are working currently.

When the average CEO makes 300 times the earnings of the average worker in the U.S., there is going to be outrage. In my opinion, there are simply two ways to fix this: either businesses can become more socially responsive (more equitable pay, bring jobs back to this country, more charitable) or the government can get bigger and institute more regulations (to avoid a revolution).

We need to get back to the American values of providing a safety net for the less fortunate, generating decent-paying jobs for the middle class and embracing diversity.

– Karen Contos – Mesa

We have neglected the prelude to the Constitution

The Preamble to the Constitution, which sets forth the intent of the document to follow, states in part “… provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare …”

My interpretation of “general welfare” to a county’s citizens would be to see that no citizen need go without the minimum of food, shelter and medical services. This our country has never fulfilled.

In a recent Opinion article in this paper (“Patterson: Socialism has gained popularity because we have forgotten the horrors of the past,” June 4), the author the writes “socialism is surging in popularity with younger Americans. In a recent US News poll, 58 percent chose socialism over capitalism (33 percent) as the most compassionate economic system.” He then goes on to discuss “… the horrors of the past,” but he fails to discuss Democratic socialism.

The 58 percent are generally younger (18-26), well educated and see the problems in this country where the middle class is shrinking and the 1/10 of 1 percent of the wealthy control more wealth than the bottom 90 percent of the country. The wealthy stash their money overseas, and with Congress’s blessings they control their taxes to a fraction of what the average American

pays as a percentage of income. All socialism has ever tried to do (often, admittedly, in extreme forms) is to provide for the general welfare of a country’s citizens, the working poor, the lame, homeless and those living in poverty.

The Republican and Democratic parties better both wake up, for this younger generation is going to be the future of the country.

In dismissing socialism, he writes “Sanders followers point to Scandinavian countries as their example of success. However, these countries aren’t socialist, but “Third Way,” large welfare states grafted onto a basically entrepreneurial economy …” He also writes, “… In truth, socialism, defined as government control of the means of production …” is only his definition (and one of many) of socialism. Look at Germany and the Scandinavian countries.

The Scandinavian countries have chosen a different form of socialism, namely Democratic Socialism. This form of socialism allows for capitalism to prosper (e.g., the wealthy owners of Lego, owners of Carlsberg breweries and the largest shipping company in the World, Maersk Shipping Lines).

The difference is the people are in control of a capitalistic/socialist government. The control isn’t by “authoritarians” but by the votes of the people. The wealthy pay their fair share of income to support the country’s popular government. The Scandinavian countries are the freest and happiest countries in the world, as supported by several websites and polls, and only Norway has oil. Americans have been so indoctrinated to the term “socialism” as being evil and un-democratic that few can take an objective study of other political and economic approaches to government. Many citizens are so worried about a few cheating, that we let millions fall through any safety nets and do a very poor job in taking care of “the general welfare” of our countrymen.

– Bob Breinholt – Mesa

Disappointed, disturbed and disgusted

The current political status in both our country and in Arizona has led me to a decision I’m not especially proud of. Because I’m disappointed, disturbed and disgusted by politics and politicians of both parties, I’m going to do something in the upcoming elections that is rational, irrational, realistic and repugnant all at the same time.

I’m going to vote against every single incumbent officeholder up for re-election, Democrat, Republican, conservative, liberal or tea party member. I know of no other way to show my contempt and disdain for the partisan politics, “dark money” and the lack of cooperation and compromise from the vast majority of our current state and federal lawmakers.

I know that a few worthy politicians may be harmed by my myopia, but drastic times call for drastic action. I’ll never give up on our current form of government, but that doesn’t mean I must sit idly by while I see too many of our governmental entities deteriorate before my very eyes.

Family reopens produce market, marking start of summer in Gilbert

BY MIKE BUTLER TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

F

or East Valley folks who have a sweet tooth for sweet corn, the unofficial start of summer happens when Allen and Shelly Freeman open their Orange Patch farmers market on the southeast corner of Gilbert and Thomas roads in Mesa.

That was Memorial Day weekend, as it has been for the past 16 years, as regular customers know. They also know they must enjoy the Freemans’ farm-fresh bounty while they can, because it ends in late June or early July.

Last Wednesday, long-time patron Sara Winter drove 35 miles down from north of Rio Verde to buy five sacks of corn.

“I make sure to get enough for my neighbors,” she said. “This is the best corn – no question. I don’t even bother buying it in the grocery store anymore.”

Another shopper asked the difference between a compartment of perfectly red and round tomatoes and a compartment of mottled, misshapen ones. “It’s the ugly ones that have all the flavor,” Shelly said.

The corn (12 for $6.50), watermelon (25 cents per pound), ugly tomatoes ($2.99 per pound), squash ($1.49 per pound), green chilies ($2.99 per pound), sweet onions ($1 per pound) and cantaloupe (50 cents per pound) come from the Orange Patch. That’s a 160-acre

operation of mostly citrus near 2600 E Lehi Road, north of McDowell Road, between Gilbert and Lindsay roads.

Allen’s parents built a charming Old West-style gift shop there to sell citrus, dates, nuts and candy. It has become a mecca for Valley residents and snowbirds over the winter months.

The family also farms a 40-acre patch behind the farm stand, but that’s covered with alfalfa now. Allen said he planted it mainly to rehabilitate the soil, but it’s a good cash crop for customers who keep cows, horses and goats. He even has a few customers who buy a bale here and there for their pet desert tortoises and rabbits.

Freeman, whose grandfather grew cotton and alfalfa back in the day, said he almost quit about 17 years ago when the Red Mountain Freeway carved up the citrus orchard. But then the opportunity to farm the 40-acre parcel presented itself and gave him new hope. It took him hundreds of hours on a backhoe to clear the land of mesquite trees. “It was a jungle,” he says.

For customers who like to garden, the Freemans sell one-gallon strawberry plants ($5). Their Albion variety grows well in containers and holds up very well in summer heat, as long as you move it to a shady spot in the afternoon. It bears fruit twice a year for about two years, but it sends out runners if you want to keep the party going.

The Freemans also roast chilies and sell them in quart bags ($3-$4) and offer jars of local raw honey ($10).

Allen said there will be plenty of corn available for the Saturday before Father’s Day, which is always the market’s busiest day.

The stand is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Monday through Saturday.

SOFTBALL

DV’s Kemmer better than ever in return to field

M

ara Kemmer had the game taken away from her for a short period of time.

She clearly came back with no ramifications and gained a renewed loved for softball.

After having a fantastic sophomore year for Valley Christian when she hit .646 and won 16 games, Kemmer sat out her junior at Desert Vista with a shoulder issue. While she kept playing for club team, Kemmer missed out on her junior year of high school ball.

“Not being able to play makes you appreciate it more,” she said. “I don’t think I took it for granted, but I missed it.”

The UNLV signee had a tremendous impact on the Thunder in her one season as the Tribune’s Softball Player of the Year helped elevate Desert Vista to the top seed in the Division I state tournament.

Kemmer hit .533 (65 for 122) with 47 runs scored, nine doubles, three triples, two home runs and 23 RBIs. She was also was part of arguably the best one-two punch on the mound as Kemmer went 14-3 with two saves and a 1.59 ERA in 22 games. She struck 158 in 101 1/3 innings while allowing 70 hits and 20 walks.

As good as she and the Thunder (30-6) were, they came up short of winning the state championship it appeared Desert Vista was ready to bring back to Ahwatukee.

“It still (stinks),” she said. “We were good enough to win it, but we didn’t play our best at the worst time.”

She was grateful for her one year and experience she earned at DV. “Between club ball and Desert Vista, I am more prepared for college now,” she said. “Division I was a lot more intense and there were so many good players and teams.”

GIRLS TENNIS

Mountain View High’s Lamoreaux is the unofficial champion Not bad for someone who didn’t even like the sport after her introduction at 9 years old at the Gene Autry Tennis Center.

“I played softball and I wanted to hit the ball hard and with no limitations,” she said. “That doesn’t work in tennis, but by the end of the clinic I really started to enjoy it.”

T

here wasn’t a transfer of a medal ceremony or anything but a clear message was sent. Anaya Lamoreaux is the best girls tennis player in the state.

She topped newly crowned Division I singles champion Josie Frazier of Desert Mountain in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2, just days after Frazier had the medal draped around her neck.

Lamoreaux, a sophomore, was busy with her twin sister, Madeline, winning the duos’ second state doubles title.

“I had to put in so many hours, and hard work,” The Tribune’s Girls Tennis Player of the Year said. “I haven’t had a chance to play (in the single tournament) yet so it was a match I focused on. It meant a lot.”

It helped the Toros advance in the Division I state tournament on the way to the championship. But Lamoreaux was playing with a heavy heart after having lost her dog Dee Dee the day before the match with Frazier.

“I had a hard day the day before and it might sound weird but I was not playing for me,”

GIRLS TRACK AND FIELD

MP’s Smith retains Tribune Girls Track Athlete of the Year honor

BY JASON P. SKODA TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

A

utumn Smith heard the footsteps this time around rather than being the one on the chase. It’s part of being a champion.

You no longer get to run free. At least not without eyes on you and/or being the focus of the ones behind you. Every step is to stay ahead.

“It’s different running as the target,” she said.

“It’s a lot harder. I am up to speed as much as I can, and they are still coming. You have to run your best, or someone is going to beat you.”

It didn’t happen often as the recent Mountain Pointe graduate was named the Tribune’s Girl Track Athlete of the Year for the second time after a great senior year.

She won both the hurdle events — 13.99 seconds in the 100 and 42.48 in the 300 hurdles — at the Division I state meet, finished second in the triple jump (38-08.75 feet) despite rarely practicing it and ran a strong leg in the 4x100 for the Pride relay team that finished fifth.

She had been chasing a sub-14.00 in the 100 hurdles and got in her final race in a Pride uniform before heading to Hampton University in Virginia.

“It might have been by the slimmest of margins, but I finally got there,” said Smith, who

posted the third best time in Arizona history.

“When it flashed on the board it was the best part, and the triple jump was next. I couldn’t have gotten there without my coaches.”

MUSIC

DJ Felix Jaehn has shared his music all over the world

BY CONNOR DZIAWURA GETOUT/TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

F

elix Jaehn has always had an affinity for music. While he is a worldrenowned DJ and producer now, deejaying at birthday parties when he was a teenager opened up the world to him.

“That’s actually how it all started,” the German entertainer said. “I bought myself my first set of DJ equipment and taught myself how to use it, but producing is more complex.”

After studying music production in London and deejaying in Europe, Jaehn gained recognition in the music world, eventually leading to collaborations with the likes of Steve Aoki and Adam Lambert. He saw the top of the charts with his remix of Omi’s “Cheerleader.” Now, the German-born DJ and producer is coming to Scottsdale for a performance at Maya Day + Nightclub, on Friday, June 17.

Jaehn’s brand of house music is dubbed “tropical house,” but he rejects that label.

“I’m not the biggest fan of that term,” Jaehn said. “To me, it’s a subgenre of a subgenre. I like to refer to my music as ‘melodic house.’ As long as it’s about the melodies and the lyrics, a song can be a Felix Jaehn record.”

Jaehn has performed all over the world, from festivals to clubs, and has even opened for David Guetta.

“I played in Berlin in front of the Brandenburg Gate for 500,000 people,” Jaehn added. “It was the anniversary of German reunification, and therefore a very special day for me and everyone else in Germany.”

The experience is different at each

“Festival crowds and club crowds are different, so you can’t really plan your set in advance,” Jaehn explained. “Usually, I know the first few songs and some key tracks I really want to play, but besides those, I just go track by track depending on the vibe of the night.”

In additional to his international collaborations, Jaehn has partnered with German singer Mark Forster for the duo EFF. Together, they have released the single “Stimme,” which reached No. 1 on the GfK charts in 2015.

While he has worked with some surprising collaborators, his “Cheerleader” remix is arguably his biggest feat and is something that Jaehn is proudest of.

“Having an international No. 1 hit that everyone knows is surreal and simply amazing,” Jaehn said.

He hopes fans will feel the same way about his Maya Day + Nightclub show.

Jaehn hinted that fans can usually expect to hear something new from his sets.

“I always try to play and test some unreleased music,” Jaehn said. “So if they listen carefully, they might get a first listen of one of my upcoming songs.”

Los Lonely Boys bring ‘life and love’ to Chandler Center for the Arts

25

BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI GETOUT/TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

G

od, life and love are three things by which Los Lonely Boys survive.

The three brothers — Henry, Jojo and Ringo Garza — find it tough sometimes, but they rely on the love of God to get them through the bumps in life.

Their mother died a year ago, and they almost lost Henry before that. Their 2014 album, “Revelation,” touched on Henry, who suffered serious injuries in a fall from the stage during a February 2013 Los Angeles performance. A lengthy recovery period followed.

“That was a big change for us,” Jojo acknowledged. “The whole experience made us rethink every aspect of our lives and our careers, and it reminded us of what’s really important to us.”

The new music that Los Lonely Boys are writing is inspired by their mother’s death. But as usual, they put a positive spin on it.

“There is always something that tries to stop you from what we feel is God’s work,” Jojo said.

“When Henry got hurt, it was a tough time for us, but we found a way through.

We lost our mother last year and we’re still working through that now. But when you’re doing something you love, that helps you deal with the blows that life gives you.”

He acknowledged that that can be hard sometimes.

“It hurts to be without those you love,” Jojo said. “We’ve lost multiple family members. The mourning never really ends.”

The band has been writing occasionally, but there isn’t a new album in the works. Los Lonely Boys are still pushing “Revelation.” The band worked with altcountry icon Radney Foster, in-demand pop tunesmiths Matthew Gerrard and David Quiñones, Black-Eyed Peas collaborators George Pajon Jr. and Keith Harris, and Raul Pacheco of Ozomatli.

“Those guys are something else,” Jojo said about Ozomatli, with whom they played at the Comerica Theatre some years back. “They’re a great live band.

“Raul Pacheco is more than a guitar player. We’ve written a few tunes together.”

Like Los Lonely Boys and Ozomatli, the music brings fans and the band together.

“We’re all about having a good time, but we also make an effort to write about things that really matter,” he said. “A lot of people write songs about superficial things, but we’re not interested in that.

Los Lonely Boys (from left, Ringo, Henry and Jojo Garza) have been heavily influenced by the death of their mother. Henry also suffered a serious accident in a concert in 2013. (Special to the Tribune)

We want to create music that’s about the love and the energy and the spirit that we all carry as people.

“We’re very thankful that God blessed our family with a drummer, a guitar player and a bass player, and that the three of us get to make music together.

There’s been a few bumps in the road here and there, but that happens in any family and in any band. The main thing is that we stick together. We’re trying to pass on that feeling of brotherhood, of familia, in the music that we make.”

‘Lilac Girls’ is a troubling story, but the human spirit flourishes

BY VY ARMOUR GETOUT/TRIBUNE CONTRIBUTOR

I

n her latest historical tome, “Lilac Girls,” Martha Hall Kelly skillfully combines the lives of two real-life women with fictional characters to reveal the plight of the “Ravensbruck Rabbits.”

The “Rabbits” are 74 Polish women who survived World War II and unbelievable cruelty at the only major Nazi concentration camp for women, just outside Furstenberg, Germany. The story of the Ravensbruck Rabbits is not a familiar one, but that’ll soon change with the publication of this remarkable story that was five years in the making.

I might add that “cruel” is not harsh enough a word as these women were subjected to medical experiments that were designed to maim and cripple healthy human beings. According to the Alliance for Human Research Protection website, “Their legs were broken, pieces of bone extracted, nerves and muscles torn.

To simulate battle injuries, the doctors sought to maximize infection by deliberately infecting the wounds using increasingly more potent bacteria cultures, rubbing the surgical wounds with bacteria,

sawdust, rusty nails and slivers of glass.”

At this point in the story, I almost did not continue because it was so disturbingly graphic.

I kept reading and I am glad that I did. History turns this unspeakable event into a triumph of the human spirit and the goodness of one remarkable woman in history: Caroline Ferriday.

The genesis of this story, as horrendous as it is at times, begins in a beautiful setting.

Kelly toured the actual Bellamy-Ferriday House and Garden in Bethlehem, Connecticut, when an article titled “Caroline’s Incredible Gardens” appeared in Victoria Magazine in 1999.

Kelly was attracted to the home and especially the lilac gardens, but it took her several years to finally visit.

The home was originally owned by the Rev. Joseph Bellamy, a prominent Congregationalist minister who played an influential role in the First Great Awak-

ening, America’s religious revival of the mid-18th century. More than 150 years later, it was purchased by Manhattan socialites Henry and Eliza Ferriday, who, with their daughter Caroline, created an impressive garden filled with antique roses and specimen lilacs.

Caroline Ferriday is one of three main characters in this novel that is told from three points of view. Kasia is a Polish teenager who starts working for the underground resistance movement as Germany begins its invasion of Poland. As a Polish Girl Scout, she and many others, in their attempts to defeat Hitler, are arrested and become political prisoners.

Kasia, although fictional, is based on one of the Ravensbruck Rabbits (or Lapins as they were called in Polish, because the unimaginable experiments caused them to hop rather than walk afterward). The third main character is Herta Oberhauser, a German doctor who accepts a job at Ravensbruck. Herta, like Caroline, is a real-life character.

The three females come together when Caroline hears of the survivors’ plight many years after the war. She uses her social connections to bring many of the women to America, where they received much-needed medical attention and were treated to a host of restorative measures. She persuades Norman Mailer, then editor of the Saturday Evening Post, to feature their story, appealing to the generosity and sympathy of the American people to help these ravaged women.

If you Google “Oberhauser,” you can

see the role she played in history as the only female doctor at Ravensbruck and the only woman at the Nuremburg trials. For her involvement in the horrendous experiments, she was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but was quietly released after five years and resumed her medical practice in Germany as a family physician. Ferriday successfully had Oberhauser’s license revoked in 1960.

As amazing as this novel is, the author’s journey in the researching and the writing of it is also as fascinating a story.

Kelly visited the home, but discovered so much more. She was acquainted with one of the most remarkable women in history. Ferriday was a Broadway actress, a debutante and a philanthropist, but what captured Kelly’s imagination was the black and white photograph of a group of Polish women on her desk.

As the guide told her, “Caroline took up their cause. She dedicated her life to these women to ensure that their story was not forgotten.”

Kelly began her research and writing several years later. She studied Caroline’s archives in Connecticut, Paris and Washington, D.C. As part of her research, she and her 17-year-old son took a trip to Poland and Germany. They rode the train from Lublin where the girls were put on a train to Furstenberg, Germany, to help bring the story to life — to see it through their eyes.

She tells us on her blog that the lilac seedling is now a full-grown bush. It took her that long to write it. And like the seedling, her story has grown into something beautiful to share with the world.

John 3:16, plus the rest of the story

BY BRAD BUTLER TRIBUNE CONTRIBUTOR

Back in my glory days (the ’70s), there was a guy named Rockin’ Rollin who showed up at just about every major sporting event wearing a rainbow wig and holding a John 3:16 sign. It’s probably the most well-known verse in the Bible and, unfortunately, the most misunderstood.

My mom’s favorite radio personality has always been Paul Harvey. In his latter years, he started a series called “The Rest of the Story.”

He would start off telling us some amazing facts about a particular person and then, after the commercial break, tell us the identiCALENDAR SUNDAY, JUNE 19 TO THURSDAY, JUNE 23 CAVE QUEST VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

ty of the person.

A good investment banker will tell you not to put all your eggs in one basket. It’s equally important not to base your eternal destiny all on one Bible verse.

Many people have heard and can even recite John 3:16. What I want to emphasize here is “the rest of the story.”

For a good visual, I will list John 3:16 followed by John 3:36, John 4:40, and 1 John 5:11-12. Here they are: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

“He who believes in the Son has life; he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but

the wrath of God rests on him” (John 3:36).

“You refuse to come to me, that you may have life” (John 4:40).

“And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life” (1 John 5:11-12).

Now, grab your pencil and circle “believes” in the first verse, “believes” and “obey” in the second verse, “come to me” in the third verse, and “has the Son” in the fourth verse.

If you just look at the first verse you might fall into what is called “easy believism.” It’s the person who says, “Yeah, I believe in Jesus” but lives their life pretty much any way they want.

The second verse begins “the rest of the story.” In it we see that the word “believe” is virtually interchangeable with the word “obey.” In the third verse, we see that to have this “life” we need to “come to Jesus.” And in the fourth verse we are told we need to “have the Son” to have the life.

So you see there is much more to the picture that John 3:16 paints. The basic “head knowledge” of who Jesus is doesn’t get us “the life.” In James 2:19, it says that even the devil “believes” in Jesus … and shudders at the thought of who he is.

Make sure your belief in Jesus involves coming to him, having him “in” you and obeying him. That’s the kind of “belief” that John 3:16 is talking about.

Practicing Twin Hearts Meditation is like taking a spiritual shower: when your aura is clean, you experience a higher level of awareness … you see through things more clearly and good luck increases.

KRUSE, Mary Margaret Sawyer 95, of Flagstaff, AZ, passed away peacefully on the morning of May 25, 2016. Mary Margaret was born August 4, 1920, in Owatonna, Minnesota to Abbott Woodman Sawyer and Mary Francis White Sawyer. She grew up in Winona, MN and graduated from the College of Saint Teresa, in Winona in 1942. Mary Margaret married her high school love, Wallace C. "Wally" Kruse in 1946. Their 58-year marriage was blessed with three children: Carol Kruse, Flagstaff, AZ; Carl Kruse (Sue), Marthasville, MO; and Katherine Kruse Beard (Jim), Sanford, MI. She is survived also by 2 granddaughters, Kelli Kruse Hayes (Gary) and Kim Kruse Rothermel (John); 4 great grandchildren, Emily, Johnny, Ashley and Zachary Rothermel, numerous nieces and nephews, and her dog Nya. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Wally; and three sisters, Josephine Sawyer, Katherine Sawyer Hardt and Eleanor Sawyer Sauer. A dedicated teacher, she taught English, Latin, and biology, and directed school plays in Rapid River, MI; Chatfield, MN; northern NJ; Pearl City and Dakota, IL and Louisville, KY, before retiring to Mesa, AZ. There she was an active member of Saint Mark's Episcopal Church, especially in the Thursday Angels craft group which put on an annual Christmas bazaar. After 30 years in Mesa, she spent the last 5 years with her daughter Carol in Flagstaff, Az. Always the English teacher, Mary Margaret remained vigilant to proper grammar, both written and spoken, throughout her life. She was always pleasant and polite, but also strong, independent, and determined to do things right and by the rules. She was aided in this by her ever-present to-do lists.

She easily found humor in life and conveyed this with a laugh and a twinkle in her eye. She loved music, especially the Lawrence Welk Show, and continued the weekly tradition of watching it even when only available as reruns. She was also an artist, and her pictures grace the walls of her children.

Mary Margaret was active in the outdoors, enjoying camping, hiking, bird watching, gardening, tobogganing and looking for rainbows. She loved animals, and home was a haven for dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, orphaned raccoons, baby birds and a fox, but never a snake. (She was deathly afraid of snakes, but kept that fact hidden from her children, so they would not grow up to share her fear.) She loved family traditions and instilled that love in her children, who continue the traditions of finding the golden egg at Easter, delivering May baskets on the 1st day of May and preparing special recipes served only on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mary Margaret's family is very grateful for the loving care she received from the staff at Haven of Flagstaff.

Services will be held at a later date in her hometown of Winona, MN. Memories and condolences may be sent to www.norvelowensmortuary.com
