Random drug tests on table for Mesa students BY JASON STONE Tribune Staff Writer

THE SUNDAY
esa sports athletes, cheerleaders and other students who participate in extracurricular activities could one day have more reason to think twice about going to a party where drugs and alcohol may be served. The Mesa Public Schools board is openly discussing the pros and cons of random drug testing of all students who participate in Arizona Interscholastic Association-sanctioned events. Nearly one in five school districts in the country, including the Chandler Unified School District, have some sort of random testing for student-athletes. Now, Mesa officials are won-

dering if that’s a game it should be playing. “Every once in a while, it behooves us to keep the board abreast of practices that are happening across the country,” district lawyer Tom Pickrell told the board last month. “This is one of those times where it’s, ‘Hey, let’s take a look at studentathletes and those in extracurricular activities.’” Mesa’s current drug policy requires all AIA participants to be drug and alcohol free at all times. Even hanging out at a friend’s house where drugs and alcohol are being consumed can be subject to disciplinary action. “They look bad to the team,” Pickrell said of the offenders. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports about 18 percent of public high
schools across the U.S. have mandatory drug testing policies. That includes the Chandler Unified and the Paradise Valley school districts, which have had drug testing policies in place for more than a decade. Chandler spokesperson Terry Locke said its district tests about 240 students each season and a little more than 700 for the year. The testing kits run CUSD about $36,000 a year. Paradise Valley was Arizona’s first district to randomly test student-athletes. District athletic director Corey Newland said it tests athletes for seven weeks in the fall and spring and six weeks in the winter. See

Tibshraeny leaving Chandler in good hands BY JASON STONE Tribune Staff Writer

handler Mayor Jay Tibshraeny is going back to school, but it’s not a plot to a 1980s Rodney Dangerfield movie. The mayor is learning how to be a judge as he counts down his final few days as Chandler’s mayor. “I’ll be doing training (this) week for my new gig, so we’ll roll right into it,” Tibshraeny said. The “new gig” is justice of the peace for the San Marcos Justice Court – a job he describes “like a judge.” In his new role, Tibshraeny will deal with matters such as orders of protection, small claims court matters, civil suits of $10,000 or less, landlord/tenant issues and neighborhood disputes. But first, he has to learn with a handful of other new justices among the 26 districts in Maricopa County. Over the next three months, Tibshraeny will be learning the ins and outs of how to run his court. “Everything has a routine,” Tibshraeny said. “They’re training us new ones all of the specifics and nuances of running your court and hearing the different kinds of cases and how to do that. There’s a way to do things, so I’m going

After a long ‘runway,’ Hartke eager to fly
BY JASON STONE Tribune Staff Writer
K
evin Hartke is just days away from taking over as Chandler’s mayor, but you’ll have to forgive him if he’s a little impatient to get started. Once the last of his three possible opponents had dropped out way back in May, he knew the job was his. “I really decided that I was going to run for mayor two years ago,” Hartke said. “So, in many ways this has been the longest runway to mayor than I could have ever projected.” After months of waiting – and years in the making – Hartke takes over for longtime mayor Jay Tibshraeny at this week’s City Council meeting. He takes the reigns of a city experiencing its greatest prosperity ever, and he knows replacing arguably the most successful mayors in Chandler history won’t be easy. “We are the best run city in the entire state of Arizona,” Hartke said. “We’re structurally balanced. We’re fiscally sound. We maintain adequate reserves. We don’t confuse one-time money with ongoing money. In terms of financially, I couldn’t be more excited about being the mayor of Chandler.” Hartke knows his main job is to keep the good times rolling. To help him not mess things up, he’s been studying for the job like a law student cramming for the LSATs. He has been attending economic development meetings to introduce himself to CEOs and other city influencers that he will be working with. He’s a frequent attendee of other city committees and boards. And he’s been educating himself in a wide range of city issues, from zoning to water and everything in between. “It has just given me a lot of opportunity to explore what don’t I know and to ask questions of those folks, so I think I am as ready as I can be,” Hartke said. “I know what I know, and I know there are a lot of things I don’t know. “Just because I have been sitting next to the mayor doesn’t mean I have been sitting in the seat. I have worked hard over the last seven or eight months to address those questions.” To help him devote more time to the job, Hartke is stepping down as lead minister for the Trinity Christian Fellowship, a position he has held since arriving in Chandler 33 years ago. He will still remain on part-time and keep a small office about a mile from City Hall. “I love the church and love the people,”
(Special to the Tribune)
Lynne and Kevin Hartke have been married 37 years and have four children and four grand children, the youngest arriving this past November. Lynne is an author and blogger who in 2017 published a book detailing her and her late mother ‘s bouts with breast cancer.
Hartke said. “But I want to be operating more out of this office than that office. It’s just where I want to focus my time. So, I’m going to treat this like a full-time job in terms of my time.” Hartke said he plans to build on community activities that Tibshraeny conducted – like the Mayor’s Listening Tour. “Like I told him, anything I can do to help him, I’m more than happy to do,” Tibshraeny said. “We both share that common thread of wanting what’s best for Chandler.” Hartke plans on being “a very active mayor.” That makes sense for a man who has led an active life.
Blue-collar roots
Hartke grew up in a blue-collar section outside of St. Louis at a time when the Gateway Arch was being erected. His father worked for a printing company and his mother stayed at home to raise Hartke and his two older brothers. Young Kevin was fascinated with the construction of the Arch and the possibilities it represented. He would regularly climb a tall tree outside the family’s home to watch the progress. Hartke would go on to earn a bachelor’s degree in biochemistry from the University of Missouri. He wanted to go to medical school but ended up changing his plans once he moved to northern Minnesota to take a job with a Christian organization that worked with the area’s indigenous people from the Cree, Ojibwe
and Chippewa tribes. He ended up moving to northern Canada to work on Indian reservations near the Hudson Bay. He wasn’t quite at the Arctic Circle; on some days, he would only see two hours of the sun. Eventually, Hartke didn’t see a future with the organization he worked for and was looking for other opportunities. In the meantime, he met his future wife, Lynne, and the couple moved into her parents’ southern Minnesota basement with their newborn son to plot their next move. That’s when he got a call from a little church in Chandler. “They didn’t have coat racks,” Hartke joked about his interest in the job after years of below-freezing, nasty weather. Hartke visited Chandler in January 1985, moved here in March and bought a house by that Thanksgiving. At the time Chandler’s population boom was just beginning, but cotton and corn fields still encircled the family’s neighborhood in every direction. “At the height in the late ’80s and early ’90s, we were adding 1,000 people a month to Chandler,” Hartke said. “It was roaring.” The Hartkes’ four children – two boys and two girls – all eventually graduated from Chandler High School. Kevin and Lynne have now been married for 37 years and have four grandchildren – the most recent coming in November. See

TIBSHRAENY
THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | JANUARY 6, 2019
from page 1
Council in 1986, Chandler’s population has grown from around 25,000 to 250,000 and seen growth that has become the envy of the Valley. Over that time Chandler saw the openings of the Chandler Fashion Center, the Intel campus, the development of Waymo self-driving cars and the emergence of the Price Road Corridor. “We have the moniker the ‘Innovation and Technology Hub of the Southwest,” Tibshraeny likes to brag. That’s not even mentioning recent developments – such as the City Council approving insurance giant All-State’s expansion in Chandler with 2,500 jobs. “2018 was a really good year for Chandler,” Tibshraeny said. This month, however, the mayor will hit the pause button on a three-decade career serving the area either as mayor, on the City Council or as a senator in the Arizona Legislature. But he’ll still be involved in the area since the San Marcos district encompasses most of Chandler and Sun Lakes. Plus, the new job will also give Tibshraeny a hat trick of experience in government, having served in executive, legislative and now judicial roles. Tibshraeny talked about his decades serving Chandler. “I never dreamed I’d be a seven-term mayor when I first ran for council,” Tibshraeny said about the first election he entered in 1986. “I didn’t quite know at that time what a quite fantastic ride it would be. But three decades later it’s been a great thing for me to have in my life. I’m very blessed.” Albert Jay Tibshraeny Jr. has always lived in Chandler and said he’s “never considered” living anywhere else. He was born in 1954 at a Mesa hospital when Chandler had none. He was named after his late Lebanese father, whom he calls one of the two people who inspired him most, along with his mother. The family lived in what was then a farming community, when the population was just a few thousand, not hundreds of thousands. A family member who helped develop some of Chandler’s neighborhoods named Jay Street for the young Tibshraeny in the Tyson Manor subdivision. Tyson is named for one of Tibshraeny’s cousins. There’s also Tibshraeny Family Park near Cooper Road and Chandler Boulevard in northeast Chandler. He graduated from Chandler High School in 1972, then moved to Arizona State for college to get his bachelor’s in accounting in 1977.
(Special to the Tribune)
Before he became Chandler’s Mayor, Jay Tibshraeny spent several years on City Council, honing his knowledge of the community as well as government.
After graduation, Tibshraeny worked for about a decade in the family’s construction business, Tibshraeny Brothers Construction Co. He had no plans to go into politics at the time, but politics ended up coming to him. Because of his work with the family business, he was recommended to sit on the Chandler Planning and Zoning Commission in 1980. City leaders began to take notice of his work on the commission, leading a few to urge the then-31year-old Tibshraeny to run for the council in 1985 when outgoing Vice Mayor Wayne Lewis was leaving an open seat.
(Special to the Tribune)
Tibsraeny was first elected Chandler’s mayor at age 39, and was quickly dubbed “The Boy Mayor.”
“There was no grand plan to run for council,” Tibshraeny said. “There was an opportunity and a couple of people on council encouraged me to run. I think they liked my work on P&Z. There was no long, planned out thing. It just kind of happened.” Tibshraeny won that first election with more votes than anybody, including Jerry Brooks, Chandler’s mayor at the time. “In those early years, one of the first things that I kind of took charge of was the city finances,” Tibshraeny said. “Because at the time, the finances were not real strong. Taking the lead in those in the late ’80s, early ’90s made sure Chandler could become the city it is.” After four years on the council, he was elected vice mayor in 1990, serving under Coy Payne, Arizona’s first Black mayor. Four years later, Tibshraeny was the only candidate to replace Payne as mayor, becoming the city’s youngest mayor ever at 39 and earning the nickname “the Boy Mayor.” He was re-elected to two-year terms three more times before reaching the maximum of eight years in 2002. Eight years is the same term limit as now, but Chandler has since changed it to two four-year terms. Either way, Tibshraeny was termed out by then and needed a new challenge. That’s when state government came calling. Voters in a newly created District 21, which served parts of Chandler and Queen Creek, elected Tibshraeny to the State Senate in 2002. He stayed active in Chandler issues
during his time at the state. He served as chairman for the city’s Museum Advisory Board and was a big advocate for the development of the Price Corridor. “At the time Motorola was closing and there was a lot of pressure for all the ground around it to go to residential,” Tibshraeny said. “I was a loud voice on saying, ‘No, that needs to be our premiere Price Corridor.’ I’ve taken a lot of pride when I was on council and mayor the first time to keep the Price Corridor preserved for industrial and commercial and business and not apartment and houses.” He won re-election for his Senate seat through 2010, but he was once again termed out of a position. However, with then-Chandler Mayor Boyd Dunn facing a term limit himself, Tibshraeny figured it was a perfect time to get his old job back. He ran again unopposed in 2010 and won re-election in 2014. As he looks back on all the ups and downs of the last 30 years – Chandler’s tremendous growth through two major recessions – Tibshraeny said a long-term vision, transparency and economic development has led to Chandler’s success. “All-State was a really good get for Chandler,” Tibshraeny said. “We wanted to start diversifying because we’re already a powerhouse in the innovation and technology industries. This was an effort to further that but also diversify our economy.” Tibshraeny said he’s also proud of his close involvement with neighborhood groups, including instituting a “Neighborhood Connect” program and the Mayor’s Listening Tour series. “We have a lot of new neighborhoods in Chandler, but we also have some that aren’t so new,” Tibshraeny said. “It’s giving them attention and moving from high growth with a lot of new to sustaining what we have.” The “Neighborhood Connect” program gives residents a way to communicate with City Council leaders face to face. “One of the first thing I did when I came back was get into one of the neighborhoods in Central Chandler and have a Listening Tour meeting,” Tibshraeny said. About 50 to 70 people would attend an average meeting. Tibshraeny would usually bring a guest, such as the police chief, to tell them what is going on in their neighborhoods. “It was a good two-way dialogue and then we could follow up where need be,” Tibshraeny said. “That was just another way to get out and place that mayor stamp of importance on this by being there and participating with them.” See

First woman in 8 years to join Mesa Council BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer
A
friend floored Jen Duff four years ago when she recommended that Duff run against incumbent Chris Glover for the District 4 Mesa City Council seat. Duff, a business woman who has lived downtown in a historic bungalow for nearly 10 years, had never considered running for the council before despite a long record of community involvement. The timing was wrong in 2014 and Duff knew it. “He was an incumbent. I knew I could not win against him,’’ Duff said. But she could not have picked a better time to run than in 2018, the Year of the Woman in national and Arizona politics. Glover was termed out and Duff would face Jake Brown, a man with deep roots in Mesa but still a political novice. She will be sworn in at 6 p.m. on Jan. 10 in formal ceremonies at the Mesa Performing Arts Center, becoming the only woman on the seven-member City Council. Duff spent the summer walking through the intense heat in the central Mesa district, joined at times by her fiancé, Ivan Martinez, a photographer who acted as a Spanish translator. She hustled. She listened to many people who had never met a city official before. Duff squeaked out a victory over Brown, her initially narrow margin gradually growing to a 454-vote cushion, 5,459 to 5,005 Along with Duff, Francisco Heredia of District Three, Vice Mayor Dave Luna of District Five and Kevin Thompson of District Six will also be sworn in. Duff can’t wait. “I am very ambitious about what I want to do for the community,’’ Duff said. Although she is not a trail-blazer and does not consider herself one, with women serving on the Mesa council going back into at least the 1970s, Duff is the first woman to serve since Dina Higgins resigned in 2013. Duff believes strongly that a female perspective on city issues is necessary. One of her ideas is to establish a Women’s Advisory Board, mimicking Phoenix and Tucson, but she says she is still researching these efforts to see if they would be a good fit for Mesa. She is also exploring a Neighborhood Leadership program, which would help train people on how to work with the city to improve neighborhoods and inform

them about the services available. Duff plans an independent, non-partisan approach even though she is a Democrat who posted a picture of herself with newly-elected Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema on her campaign Facebook page.
Duff said she likes Sinema’s centrist approach, even if she doesn’t agree with Sinema on everything. “Overall, our goals are to raise our median income, raise our education level and to keep a safe city,’’ Duff said. “I feel the education aspect of ASU is the right catalyst for a new economy, a creative economy.’’ Duff is alluding to the city’s plans to build an Arizona University campus next to City Hall. The project is being designed and is envisioned to serve as the centerpiece of an innovation district. Duff’s hope for the innovation district is that creative people from diverse backgrounds will converge on downtown, spurred by the ASU campus, which is planned to have an emphasis on technology, including artificial intelligence. A successful entrepreneur who founded a fishing lures company after promoting fishing in Japan for a year, Duff is hoping that entrepreneurs will start companies with good-paying jobs downtown. She said one of downtown’s failings is a lack of high-pay(Ivan Martinez/Special to the Tribune) Jen Duff is exploring several ideas to bring a new vibrancy to the ing jobs, with many people city and wants to pattern her governing style after new U.S. Sen. who live near downtown Kyrsten Sinema’s centrist approach. commuting to Chandler,
Tempe or Phoenix. She said downtown is on the cusp of such a regeneration, between ASU, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints renovation project in and around the Mesa Temple, Metro light rail and several other mixed-use projects that have been announced but not built. “We’ve made a lot of progress in the last 10 years, but there is a lot more we need to do,’’ Duff said. “I feel like I am very much in alignment with the Mayor’s views on downtown.” It was Giles who ram-rodded the smaller version of a downtown ASU campus through the council, with a payment plan for the $163 million facility based upon utility revenues instead of a sales tax that had been rejected by voters. Although she agrees with Giles generally about the direction of downtown, Duff said that doesn’t mean she will agree with Giles or anyone else on the council at all times. “I don’t want to create any automatic allegiance. Disagreement is good, but being disagreeable is a problem,” she said. Duff said she never dreamed that she would ever serve as a Mesa council member, growing up in Mesa and graduating from Mesa High School and Mesa Community College. Her family’s history in Mesa dates back to World War II, when Falcon Field served as a training base for Royal Air Force pilots. Duff’s mother came from England to participate in the training activities and decided to stay in Mesa after the war ended. Duff’s first career was as a fashion buyer, but bass fishing ended up evolving from a hobby to her career. After winning some tournaments, Duff spent a year in Japan, promoting bass fishing through the Japan Bass Tournament Association. She founded an import-export fishing business and is now the owner of Lobina Lures, a division of Jef International, Inc. Duff was named to the Mesa Community College alumni Hall of Fame in 2015. Her community involved in the past has included serving on the Mesa Planning and Zoning Board and as chair of the Mesa I.D.E.A Museum board of directors. After living in East Mesa for 30 years, Duff moved downtown in 2009, lured by the Mesa Performing Arts Center. She found the sense of community she was looking for. “I think there is already a focus here,’’ Duff said, about downtown Mesa’s planned renaissance. “We have already started the momentum. I’m excited to be here.’’

This plot of land next to the Sheraton Hotel near the Chicago Cubs’ training stadium in Riverview could become home to a second hotel.
Second hotel planned for Cubs park BY GARY NELSON Tribune Contributor
T
he Mesa City Council on Jan. 7 is expected to approve the sale of city land for construction of a second hotel next to the Chicago Cubs’ spring training stadium. A company called MC Hotel-River View LLC proposes to build the hotel on a sliver of land just west of the existing Sheraton Hotel and immediately east of the stadium. The Sheraton is owned by a separate company called BCY Limited Partnership. But the firms share the same ownership. Mesa plans to sell about 12,000 square feet for $300,000, of which $50,000 will be paid immediately as earnest money. The project will include a four-story hotel of at least 125 rooms with a restaurant, bar and fitness center. And it will have 16,000 square feet of retail space. The project is another step toward fulfilling Mesa’s longstanding ambition to develop a “Wrigleyville West” retail and entertainment center next to the stadium. That was part of the pitch that helped the city convince voters in 2010 to approve spending $84 million for the Cubs stadium. The Cubs were threatening at the time to move to Naples, Fla., where they believed they could develop a retail complex to augment their springtraining revenues. By the time Mesa paid for infrastructure and improvements to Riverview Park, just east of the stadium, the price tag for the entire complex exceeded $116 million. The outlay allowed the city to keep the Cubs, who have practiced in Mesa on and off since 1952. Scott Smith, who served as mayor 2008-14, made keeping the Cubs one of his top priorities, asserting that to lose the team would be a severe blow to Mesa’s pride and economy.
But the Cubs never delivered on their Wrigleyville promises. The Sheraton, which opened in 2015, resulted from negotiations between the builder and the city, not the Cubs. No other Chicagothemed businesses have appeared on the land Mesa set aside for those uses. The agreement between Mesa and MC Hotel-River View contains several safeguards for the city. Construction on the new hotel must begin by June 30 and be finished by Dec. 31, 2020. If construction does not begin on time, the city will automatically buy the land back for the $300,000 it received. If construction begins but is not completed by the deadline, Mesa will repurchase the land for that same amount. It also will take ownership of the incomplete project and could order its demolition. The new hotel will share parking with the Sheraton. The land occupied by the Cubs complex was a municipal golf course for decades. In 2007 a couple of Scottsdale-based developers told Mesa they want to buy it for a world-class resort and recreation complex they called Waveyard. But Mesa wouldn’t sell the land until they came up with the money. They never did, and approval of the Cubs stadium killed Waveyard for good. Meanwhile, the city last spring approved plans for a 1.35-million-square-foot office complex just northeast of the Sheraton on land formerly occupied by city recreation fields. The memorandum signed by the city and those developers specified that a development agreement needed to be in place by this past Dec. 31. Mesa and the developers missed that deadline, but a spokeswoman for the developers said last week that negotiations continue with a view to breaking ground this year.

DRUG TESTS
THE SUNDAY EAST VALLEY TRIBUNE | JANUARY 6, 2019
from page 1
“Each week at our high schools in PVUSD, we test 10 to 15 athletes,” Newland said. The program sets the district back about $25,000 to $30,000 a year. “It’s expensive to expect our schools to do this frequently or infrequently even,” said Mesa board member Elaine Miner. “Once you start the pattern, you have to be somewhat consistent because otherwise it looks like you’re targeting.” The testing costs appear to be what stop many districts from even considering the practice. In Alaska, the Juneau School District has randomly tested its student-athletes for a decade. During the season, Juneau randomly tests up to 15 percent of each sport’s athletes once a week. But Juneau’s KTOO Public Media recently reported officials there aren’t sure the program has been effective despite the high cost, which can run up to $46,000 in some years. A school district near Atlanta, Georgia, recently voted to spend $20,000 a year testing up to 80 students each month. That’s based on test kits that cost $24 each. The U.S. Supreme Court first ruled in favor of the constitutionality of random drug testing of high school athletes in 1995. Seven years later, the high court extended the testing to middle school students who participate in extracurricular activities. Not long after the second court decision in 2002, the President’s Office of National Drug Control Policy tried to encourage schools to test all students for drugs before a pushback led by the American Civil Lib-

During a Mesa Public Schools Governing Board meeting last month, attorney Tom Pickrell briefed members on the drug policy.
erties Union and the Drug Policy Alliance threw ice on those hopes. “(Random testing) is not something that can be applied to all students,” Pickrell said. “The courts have just said it is something that can be used for a program that a kid is choosing to participate in such as athletics or extracurricular activities.” Districts are allowed to ask a student to provide a urine sample if he or she is caught with the contraband or appear to be showing physical symptoms of being under the influence or patterns of abnormal or erratic behavior. Random testing involves a “panel” of five to 10 different drugs – typically, mari-
juana, cocaine, opioids, amphetamines and PCP. If a district chooses to expand the testing, it can even screen for synthetic marijuana, which also goes by K2 and Spice. While random drug testing for athletes has steadily risen across the country, some are questioning if it’s even needed for those on sports teams. The Institute of Education Sciences recently released a report that showed randomly tested high school students who were involved in extracurricular activities reported less substance use than other students without testing by about 6 percent. Plus, drug use in general has declined
with adolescents over the past decade, despite the move to legalize recreational marijuana in many states since then. Statistics are showing tobacco vaping is more of this generation’s idea of being rebellious. Under Mesa’s current policy, parents of any student can have their child disciplined if they conduct their own drug test and submit it to the school. But with an average cost of $200 to do a self-test, it’s not a practical option. “Rarely do parents do that,” Pickrell said. Mesa Superintendent Ember Conley said the issue is at least looking into as a deterrent to harmful behavior. “I think this could be definitely a hot topic that would need vetting by the community and our coaches and, of course, our parents,” Conley said.
Mesa police try to help break addicts’ arrest cycle BY JIM WALSH Tribune Staff Writer
M
esa police want to help defendants accused of drug-related crimes break their addiction, treating the source of criminal behavior and breaking the cycle of repeated arrests. When officer George Chwe arrests someone for driving under the influence of drugs, he also encourages them to enter the Arizona Angel Initiative Program, which connects defendants with behavioral agencies. Chwe, a traffic officer, said he is inspired by his own experiences in helping his daughter break heroin addiction. “It was the worst time of my life. To see someone go through withdrawal for 96 hours is incredible,’’ he said.
Chwe tells suspects about his daughter’s successful efforts to get clean in hopes they will enter the Angel Initiative, which is run by the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family. “I talk about her story as a way of letting them know there is hope. Lots of times, they give up on themselves,’’ Chwe said. Chwe said he has made hundreds of arrests for driving under the influence of drugs. Impaired driving suspects often tell him how they were prescribed an opioid painkiller after surgery, but got hooked. Oftentimes, a person addicted to opiates will resort to buying them on the street. Eventually, they turn to heroin because it is cheaper. The Angel Initiative started out of Phoenix police’s Maryvale district in October 2016 and has expanded to include the
Scottsdale and Mesa police. The Pinal County Sheriff’s Department also is planning to participate. So far, 172 people have enrolled in the program, according to Kristin Sorensen, a spokeswoman for the Governor’s Office of Youth, Faith and Family. A series of behavioral health agencies have agreed to work with defendants, using their insurance to pay for it when possible but also providing services free of charge when necessary. East Valley behavioral health providers participating in the program include Community Bridges, La Frontera-Empact, Terros Health, Aurora Behavioral Health and the Banner Behavioral Health Hospital. “This is really a program that will hopefully remove that hurdle,’’ said Assistant Chief Tony Lythgoe. “If people can’t afford
it or don’t know where to turn, it would help them out.’’ Lythgoe said addicts also don’t need to get arrested to qualify for the program. They can simply call Mesa police’s nonemergency number or go to any police station during business hours and ask for help. The next step would be determining if they are eligible. “We are able to intervene with people who have a problem with drug addiction before it gets worse,’’ Lythgoe said. The Angel Initiative is not a diversion program. The primary incentive is arranging for services, potentially free of charge, that can help someone start a new, drugfree life. “We do not place special conditions on See

In general, the technological improvements in communication comprise the biggest change Tibshraeny lived through during his time serving Chandler since the 1980s. When he first joined, the city documented everything on paper for years before moving to a CD organization system. The city really didn’t begin filling everything electronically until early this century. “When I first got on council there was no email,” Tibshraeny said. “There were just letters. Now 99 percent of our communication from our constituents alone comes through email. You shoot me an email, I can shoot you an email right back.” Tibshraeny also served at the beginning of the Twitter Revolution. He actively posts city happenings and announcements, but also leaves some room for fun fare like sports predictions and trivia, or even happy birthday shout outs, like the one to rocker Bruce Springsteen a few months ago. “I enjoy it and it’s a good way to communicate with followers,” Tibshraeny said. “I try to do about 80 percent city stuff. But there’s more to me than just my
HARTKE
from page 3
It’s fitting that Hartke is replacing Tibshraeny because the outgoing mayor had a direct hand in getting the incoming one into politics. The pair started a working relationship and friendship in the 1980s when Hartke frequently performed invocations of city meetings. Hartke also attended several meetings as a concerned citizen to follow issues such as human rights, homelessness, crime and immigration. Eventually, Tibshraeny asked Hartke to serve on a city committee in the 1990s to kickstart his political career. Tibshraeny then picked Hartke to serve on the Human Relations Commission that was formed in the wake of what Hartke called the “famous, infamous Chandler Roundup.” The so-called “Operation Restoration” was a joint operation between federal authorities and local law enforcement to round up hundreds of suspected illegal immigrants. Tibshraeny created the commission to help the city move past the controversial program. Hartke’s work on those boards led Tibshraeny, who was then a state senator, some former city managers and others to persuade him to take an open City Council seat that Martin Sepulveda vacated

mayor’s job. I am a person with a lot of varied interests.” That includes sports. Tibshraeny said he’s a fan of all the local sports teams and the Los Angeles Dodgers. He’s also served
at times as a youth sports coach and doesn’t hide his love for Chandler High’s sports teams at the expense of Chandler’s two other public high schools. He’s basically a homer at heart and
when he was deployed to Iraq. But after nearly a year on the council on an interim basis, Hartke came up a couple hundred votes short when he attempted to win the seat permanently. “It was disheartening,” Hartke said. “I think anybody who loses, it just knocks the stuffing out of you because you run because you think you’re a good candidate and you think you’ve got what it takes. So, it’s a bit of soul-searching.” He now looks at that loss as a blessing in disguise. Not only did that loss lead to the formation of his nonprofit, For Our City Chandler, but it also gave him a chance to serve on the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission to gain more experience, and it allowed then-Mayor Boyd Dunn to appoint him to lead the city’s 2010 Census count. “Had I won that election, several things wouldn’t have happened,” Hartke said. “Mayor Dunn really said we’re going to get you involved. So, I served on those three things in ’09 and ’10 and came back and ran.” This time he won. He beat Donna Wallace in the general election to earn a spot back on the council – this time his own seat. The other good thing about having to wait until 2010 is it put him on cycle to run for mayor.
An active agenda
Now that he’s mayor, he has a few areas he wants to focus on: • Keeping the city’s finances on solid footing. • Maintaining a friendly business climate. • Discussing Chandler’s interest with the regional transportation tax expiring soon. • Preserving and conserving the city’s water supply. • And continuing Chandler’s build out with about 12 percent of city land still available for development. “I think we’re still knocking it out of the park economically,” Hartke said. While Hartke is looking to put his own stamp on leading the city, he said he was no doubt influenced by Tibshraeny’s management style. Tibshraeny was known for allowing time for citizens to speak on all sides of an issue at meetings, and Hartke plans to continue to give citizens a voice. Hartke said being aware of people’s “grassroots fears” is actually crucial for a good leader. That’s why he has attended planning and zoning meetings that have ran past midnight for issues he knows will be contentious once they reach the City Council level. After Thursday’s swearing in, Hartke will give his first State of the City address

admits he would have run for mayor again had he been allowed to. “I love the job,” he said. “It’s something I enjoy doing – working hard and moving Chandler forward.” Tibshraeny could have run for a City Council seat but decided to run unopposed for the four-year Justice of the Peace position instead. After that, however, plans are wide open. “I think I’ll run for something at some point in the future,” Tibshraeny said. “I think I have one more. I’m not sure what that will be at this time. I think it’ll be something on the state level.” One thing he’s ruled out is attempting to take his mayor position back again for a third time because of his long working relationship with Mayor-elect Kevin Hartke. “The new incoming mayor is a friend of mine and somebody I’ve worked closely with,” Tibshraeny said. The two are the longest-tenured members of the City Council. They will pass the gavel at the Jan. 10 City Council meeting. “At least I’ll be continuing my service, but I’ll certainly miss serving as mayor,” Tibshraeny said.

Four videos are part of what Hartke is calling a “very dynamic, very engaging” presentation. “I’m not going to be doing an hour and a half monologue,” Hartke said. “Keep them wanting more. Don’t bore people.” Hartke doesn’t want to bore himself, either. He will continue his work with For Our City Chandler and has already planned some outdoor trips. For Our City Chandler is entering its 10th year, tackling issues such as homelessness, poverty, suicide and drug addiction. As for the outdoor trips, the Hartkes already have a camping trip planned for the Grand Canyon in March. The incoming mayor said he’s made about “two-dozen” rim-to-rim hikes at the Canyon. “My wife and I love to camp, we love the hike, and we just love to get out of the city,” Hartke said. “It kind of restores our sanity.”

the Angel Initiative candidate because our focus is to encourage them to get treatment,” Lythgoe said. “If the person goes to court for criminal charges, then it will be up to the county attorney’s office or the city prosecutor’s office to make recommendations and up to the court to order the defendant to comply with court ordered requirements for the charges.” A wide swath of crimes can be drugrelated. “A lot of times, those crimes are occurring because people are coming up with a way to feed their addiction,’’ Lythgoe said. “This is a non-traditional way of law enforcement. It’s not exactly the way we’ve done things in the past.’’ But the carnage from the opioid epidemic has forced law enforcement and all layers of government to re-examine how it can do things differently to save lives. In Mesa alone, police have tracked 576 opioid-related incidents between Nov. 1, 2017 and Nov. 30, 2018, with 62 opioidrelated deaths. Those numbers are overshadowed by the 2,610 suspected opioid-related deaths recorded statewide, from June 15, 2017 to

Lovable dog comforts Chandler police, crime victims BY COLLEEN SPARKS Tribune Staff Writer
A
shaggy dog with the warm and fuzzy appeal of a stuffed animal is training to help the Chandler Police Department and crime victims recover from trauma. Chandler Police introduced their newest four-legged member, Annie, as part of a newly formed Therapy Canine Program. Annie, who is half golden retriever and half poodle and almost 6 months old, will be used to help boost the psychological well-being of the police department’s sworn and non-sworn employees who experience traumatic events as part of their work. As part of the Chandler Family Advocacy Center, she will also help support victims of sexually-based offenses and children who have undergone highly stressful incidents. Annie lives with Det. Brian Wagner, and the plan is to have her start her work this month or in February, Chandler Police Sgt. Daniel Mejia, public information

officer, said. “She’s doing great,” Mejia said. “She’s still currently in training. This breed … they’re
very calm, easygoing personalities with good temperaments. This is a very good breed that is going to help out with all the therapy, not only to our personnel, police, but also to victims of crimes, especially children that have been subjected to traumatic events. These dogs are trained to basically sense emotional distress.” The Chandler Family Advocacy Center recently opened at 221 E. Boston St. and it is attached to the department’s main station on East Chicago Street. The new center will serve as the central spot for the department’s Special Victims Unit to work directly with other agencies on investigations involving domestic violence as well as child and elderly abuse and other physical and sexual abuse. It also is meant to provide a comfortable, secure space for victims to get needed help as they start to heal from traumatic events. The “simple act” of petting dogs relieves stress, Mejia said. Arizona Goldendoodles, a dog breeder in Peoria, donated Annie to the police last July. Dr. Teri Wiblin of Faust Animal Hospital in Phoenix donated a total puppy
package that included all vaccinations. K9Games Dog Training of Peoria donated its training services to prepare Annie for her role. “We’re very appreciative, very proud to have these partners,” Mejia said. “That’s a big plus for our agency. It’s very costeffective and this was made possible because of these partners.” He said he is not yet sure how much time Annie will spend with each department employee and victim, but she will come to work four days a week, 10 hours a day with Wagner. “Our profession is very demanding,” Mejia said. “They are exposed to very traumatic events, very traumatic calls. This is another resource that our department has for the overall employee wellness. The second aspect of this is to expose this therapy dog to victims of crime.” Maureen Simpson, owner of Arizona Goldendoodles, said therapy dogs are trained to approach people gently. “When you see Annie, she looks like a large stuffed animal,” Simpson said. “She See

Mesa native earns $75K scholarship to medical school
the $40,000 Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Transfer Scholarship that year. He entered the university with an impressive resume, including research on the correlation between the use of prenatal supplements and the occurrence of autism. He continued his research at ASU and is expecting it to be published soon. While a community college student, he worked with schools in the Mesa Unified School District to create math activities for elementary-age special-needs students and started the Autism Lego Club of the East Valley, a group of families with autistic children that meets monthly. Children in the group play with Legos, an activity
that helps build coordination and fine motor skills. He also went on a two-year mission to Mozambique, where he observed the work of health care providers in a strapped medical system where medication and supplies are in short supply. For six weeks during the summer of 2016, he went to Botswana to work with the Baylor College of Medicine Pediatric AIDS Initiative, learning how medication helps people with the virus survive. “My time at ASU and Barrett has been incredible,” he said. He said he knew he wanted to have a career in medicine during his Mozambique mission.
“I saw the impact medical professionals could make in the world and the sad outcomes that occurred without trained physicians. My desire to become a doctor was confirmed after I shadowed doctors over the past few years and worked in an HIV clinic in Botswana last summer,” he said. In an interview with an ASU publication, he said his university experience left him with “many pieces of advice that stuck with me.” “One thing in particular that seems to rise above the rest is the fact that giving a bit of extra effort can have great effects,” he said. “I realized this as I progressed through my undergrad. When I worked just a little harder, was a little kinder, reached out to professors a little more, it made a world of a difference and has allowed me to excel far beyond the average student. Although his first Cooke Fellowship scholarship would have enabled him to go to virtually any university in the country, he said he chose ASU “due to a close connection with my research professor, Dr. James Adams.” “With him, I was able to submit a very large thesis on the optimal prenatal supplement for the prevention of autism and other birth disorders. This research could greatly impact how we care for mothers during pregnancy and allow them to receive the correct vitamins and minerals with the correct dosage,” he said. “I continually think of how lucky I am to be able to have so many opportunities to work hard and make a difference,” he said.

Mabry said the band auditioned for the Jazz Education Network in April. “I recorded last year’s jazz band performing three songs that they performed at ASU Highland on my cell phone, since my computer died that morning from entering in playing test,” he said. “We received a notification that we were selected in July.” Because he only teaches jazz band to
eighth-graders, “I am working with a 100 percent different group than the group that auditioned for the performance,” Mabry said, confessing, “This created some stress, as not only did I have a new group, I didn’t know their strengths and weaknesses yet and none of them had ever played in a jazz band before. The band in its various iterations has logged a number of accolades and awards. In 2017, it finished second among junior high schools at the ASU Highland Jazz Festival.
Last year, “we finished first among junior high schools, received a rating of Superior with Distinction and received the Judge’s Most Outstanding Award, which meant that of all the junior high and senior high groups, we were the highest scoring ranked ensemble,” Mabry added. The band also performed at the NAU Jazz Festival, where it received a Superior and Most Outstanding Soloist awards. It also has performed before a Diamondbacks game at Chase Field.

Mesa firefighters train to save pets as well as owners BY CAMRYN DILGER Tribune Contributor
A
nimals are no less vulnerable to home fires than their owners. Approximately half a million pets are affected by house fires each year, the American Veterinary Medical Foundation reported in February. That’s why the Mesa Fire and Medical Department has to be just as prepared to treat them as they are for any humans affected by fires. After an animal has been exposed to a fire, the primary medical treatment for recovery is the delivery of high concentrations of oxygen to replace the toxic gases inside the blood, Deputy Chief Forrest Smith of the Mesa Fire and Medical Department said. “When it comes to a fire, what you deal with mostly is smoke inhalation,” Smith said. “And we do know that living animals require certain things that we do.” Like humans, animals also require oxygen therapy after being exposed to a fire, and although the time spent training firefighters and paramedics to administer pet medical care is limited, Smith said, the
fire department occasionally undergoes such training with a veterinarian. Smith said the medical aspect of training is “just as critical” as the training that is done for fighting fires. This training t e a c h e s firefighters and paramedics the basic skills of (Special to the Tribune) animal medical Dogs can suffer from smoke inhalation in fires just like humans, so Mesa care, such as paramedics and firefighters are equipped with “Fido Bags” to help get oxygen how to properly into their lungs as soon as possible after their rescue. administer oxygen, perform CPR, insert IV after a fire is “an important skill that these catheters and tracheal tubes, and measure officers and paramedics need to know,” Svoboda said, “and it just helps give them temperature, pulse and respiration. Dr. Wayne Svoboda, a veterinarian the confidence that they need to just who has been practicing for 33 years, move forward and save lives.” Aside from the training, Smith said the said he teaches such courses three to four use of special cone-shaped oxygen masks times a year. The ability to medically treat an animal – included in “Fido Bags” donated to the
fire department by The Fetch Foundation – has also helped to better care for animals who have been affected by smoke inhalation because the masks are able to fit the muzzle of a cat or a dog. “By being able to give this oxygen therapy, we’ve been able to increase the survivability of animals that have been in fires,” Smith said. “We’ve saved a great number of pets as a result of having access to these kits.” Also included in these kits are protective restraints, leashes, burn sheets, bandages, rinsing saline, and collapsible water bowls. Marie Peck, founder of The Fetch Foundation, established the nonprofit in 2010 after hearing stories about first responders who didn’t have the proper tools to be able to save an animal in an emergency. “I don’t think any firefighter should have to go into a fire where there could possibly be a pet without the right tools,” Peck said. Peck said aside from rescuing puppies and kittens, these kits have also helped See

If a pet happens to be inside the house during a fire, Smith said people are more protected when they know their pets will be rescued because it decreases the likelihood of someone entering a burning house and risking their life to save their animals. “Animals are an extension of our family,” Smith said. “We will try to risk what we can in a calculated way to help protect pets.”

added. “That will make a child laugh that day,” Simpson said. “Maybe a memory that Annie can leave with you is that smile, even if it’s just for a few minutes.” She said Wagner contacted her in November 2017 to see if she had a dog that would work as a therapy dog. Simpson brought Annie in front of a roundtable of several police officers who checked her out to see if she would be a good fit. “They have to know that this was a good, healthy, emotionally stable dog,” she said. “They really put Annie through the ringer before they accepted her in this program. Nothing fazes her. She’s very loving. This is what Annie was born for. Therapy dogs are born. They have to be born with the right heart, the right soul.” Simpson began her company breeding goldendoodles after she bred Shaggy, another goldendoodle, to help her son, Stevie, 15, who is autistic and epileptic. “Shaggy is life-changing for my son,” she said. “What started out as a very self-serving thing turned into something that has become a business, but it’s also been a way for me to give back to the community,” she said, adding: “Over and above anything else, Arizona Goldendoodles has become a way for my son to have an outlet. He makes a toy for every dog. We do temperament testing on every single dog to make sure they’re psychologically prepared. We’re asking a lot of them.” Simpson said Annie is “doing a great job” in the training. “She’s working out beautifully,” she said. “She’s exceeded everyone’s expectations. They’re so happy. I’m very passionate about what I do. I love it because of my son. That’s my heart. It’s been a therapy for him and maybe even for me.” Information: arizonagoldendoodles.com

Mobile pet hospice a labor of love for area veterinarian BY DEB SAMSON Tribune Contributor
I
n recent years, pet ownership has spiked in the U.S., sparking a growth of pet-related companies and services, from pet bakeries to doggie daycares to spas that offer massages, pedicures and stylish grooming. According to the 2017-18 APPA National Pet Owners Survey, 68 percent of U.S. households own a pet, which equates to 84.6 million homes. By comparison, in the 1980s pet ownership was 15 to 20 percent lower. Not all popular pet services are about pampering our furry friends, though. Some bring comfort at a difficult time. One quickly emerging field – in-home hospice care and euthanasia for older or terminally ill pets – is helping owners cope with the inevitability of losing their
animals. Dr. Jordy Merrifield, a veterinarian with Lap of Love, a mobile veterinary-hospice and euthanasia practice serving Ahwatukee and the East Valley, said the death of a pet is an incredibly difficult life event for pet owners. “In many ways, the loss of a pet can be as traumatic as losing a friend or family member to a terminal illness,” Merrifield said. Merrifield felt called to end-of-life care because of her own experiences with losing pets and human loved ones. Helping pets pass with dignity is a way for her to honor her grief and transform it into something meaningful. The Lap of Love team offers several related services – including in-home consultations aimed at helping families decide whether or not it’s time to euthanize their pet; hospice care to decrease pain and pal-

Rapid growth may be depressing wages in Arizona BY HOWARD FISCHER Capitol Media Services
A
rizona added new residents in the past year at a faster pace than all but three other states. But that could be depressing wages here. New figures from the Census Bureau show the state population as of July 1 – the point at which the government measures – at 7,171,646 – up 1.7 percent over the previous year. Only Nevada, Idaho and Utah did better. Arizona also was No. 4 in population growth on a pure numeric basis with its 122,770 new residents. That’s no small feat given that Arizona is only the 14th largest state in the nation. States that added more residents – Texas, Florida and California – all are much larger. But there’s a downside of sorts to all this. The state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for November ticked up a tenth of a point, to 4.7 percent – a full percentage point higher than the figure for the country as a whole. It’s not a question of jobs not being created. In fact, private sector employment is up by nearly 99,000 over the same period
a year earlier. But employers have been unable to create jobs faster than there are people looking for them. And that, in turn, can have a ripple effect in wages: More people looking for work can mean employers don’t have to pay as much to attract talent. The average hourly wage in Arizona is currently $25.77 versus $27.28 for the rest of the country. And Arizona wages are up just 0.7 percent in the past year, versus a 3.1 percent boost nationally. There is no question but that Arizona’s population growth is being driven by people moving here versus natural growth, meaning births minus deaths. Almost 80 percent of the year-over-year increase is from migration, primarily from other states though with some international growth. More residents means more people looking for work. “If we are getting people willing to move into the area from outside that are willing to take a lower wage because of what they perceive to be advantages such as climate, that’s been a persistent issue here,’’ said Tom Rex, associate director at the Center
for Competitiveness and Prosperity Research at Arizona State University. But Rex said the questions of average pay and the statewide unemployment rate are more complex. And some of that, he said, relates to the difference between the major urban areas and the rest of the state. “The job availability really isn’t that good in many of the rural areas,’’ he said. That, said Rex, is complicated by the fact that the education level of many rural residents is less than the rest of the state. “A lot of the people that live up there are not very educated,’’ he said. “They’re really not qualified to fill a lot of the jobs.’’ Rex said to the extent that jobs are created, the residents there are “outcompeted’’ by people moving there from Phoenix, Tucson – or out of state – who are attracted by the rural lifestyle and willing to accept the wages offered. “So you do have a persistent employment problem in those parts,’’ he said. Thursday’s new state employment report does have some bright signs. The number of people working in the manufacture of computers and electronic parts is up 11.2 percent since the same time a year ago. Still, that’s only a tiny sec-
tor of the Arizona economy: just 32,200 employees out of more than 2.4 million in the private sector. By contrast, there are more than 234,000 people employed at restaurants and bars, one of the lower-paying sectors of the economy. That exceeds not just everyone working in the state’s financial sector but also construction and the entire manufacturing industry. Wages aside, there are other signs of job health. The number of people collecting unemployment benefits is now below 20,000, the first time that has happened since the end of the recession. It’s also 11.7 percent less than a year ago. Retail trade employment also was up sharply in November. That’s not a big surprise given the seasonal hiring that takes place, with particularly strong monthover-month gains in clothing and department stores. But the spirit of the season – and the buying that goes along with it – wasn’t enough to keep total employment in clothing stores from dropping by 3.4 percent in the past year amid increased competition from online retailers.

owners is that their pet doesn’t suffer,” Merrifield said. “As a veterinarian, I believe in providing the best care for pets, but when treatment fails or is declined for any reason, it’s critical that families have palliative-care options. Going back and forth to the veterinarian’s office can be stressful for animals, especially those who are elderly or sick.” Mobile veterinary services make it possible for a pet to receive care at home where they can stay in their own bed and be closely monitored by the ones who know them best. The holidays can be a particularly challenging time, according to Merrifield. “Every year, we see an increase in the number of pets getting sick and dying around this time,” she said. “As most families gather together to celebrate, some are forced to say goodbye to a best friend they’ve known for over a decade amidst the hustle and bustle of the season.” For this reason, Merrifield offers appointments in the evening and on holidays.

that today’s pet owners are seeking more comfort and direction from professionals when a pet is gravely ill and approaching death. “Knowing when to say goodbye to a beloved pet can be very difficult,” Hansen said. “I recommend that pet owners schedule a wellness check-up with their veterinarian in order to talk through their pet’s quality of life and in doing so, it will often bring clarity and allow them to follow their heart and do what is best for their pet.” Lori Eastin, an East Valley resident, recently chose in-home hospice for her 13-year-old golden retriever, Trevor. It started with a frantic phone call to Merrifield, whom Eastin affectionately refers to as “Dr. Jordy,” at 5 a.m. “Dr. Jordy was amazing,” Eastin said. “She spent the time to answer all of my questions, and she addressed the need for quality of life and pain management in a very understandable manner. ... Dr. Jordy fully understood my relationship with Trevor and was supportive of my decisions. I am happy to say that he is still with us and is doing better. I’m not ready to say goodbye yet, and I don’t think he is either.” Information: phoenix@lapoflove.com or 602 996 4764.

We have no answers and enduring and saddest mystery. Late on the that’s almost the hardest part about it.” You return to the intersection of El Moro afternoon of Jan. 2, 1999, precisely 20 years ago, someone snatched 11-year-old Mikelle and Toltec Street 20 years to the day of the Biggs off the quiet side street she called crime. The scene feels as inscrutable 20 home. Mikelle’s little sister, Kimber, then 9, years later as it did when Mikelle’s disapwas separated from Mikelle for perhaps 90 pearance was fresh. The details return in a rush: Mikelle’s seconds, according to police. That was just time enough for evil to tran- slender face and gap-toothed smile staring spire.

Christ she had pinned to her bulletin board. Over the years, you have studied ageprogressed photos of Mikelle supplied by well-meaning investigators, images meant to spur tips and leads. The pictures feel fictional to you, hollowed out, fake. You simply cannot get beyond the reality of Mikelle perpetually frozen at age 11, never there for another birthday, another Christmas, another school graduation. This thought steals your breath like a fist to the solar plexus, because – to be painfully honest – you have never stopped holding out some small shred of hope for this child and her family. Miracles do happen, after all. Cold cases get solved Abducted children find their way home thousands of days later. Even the most confounding mysteries occasionally end not in some remote corner of the desert with a shallow grave and desiccated remains, but with hugs, smiles and tears of joy. Sometimes people question you about

stories you wish you had covered. They seem to expect some grand event you never had the opportunity to witness up close – a presidential inauguration or a sit-down exclusive with an A-list celebrity. Instead, you share a dream that seems increasingly unlikely with each passing year: That one day you might cover Mikelle Biggs returning home. The Biggs family is long gone from El Moro Avenue, but wouldn’t it be something to see this once young girl, now 31 years old, stride up the street she once called home and put a happy punctuation mark on one of the most tragic tales this Valley has ever witnessed? It is a wide world out there, and though the chances feel beyond remote, perhaps somewhere in it Mikelle Biggs has fashioned a life for herself out of the worst possible circumstances. In the absence of definitive answers, this remote hope feels like the best you can and do pray standing on El Moro Avenue 20 years after the fact.

Long on reputation but short on height, Seton girls’ hoops has new look BY ERIC NEWMAN Tribune Staff Writer
T
he girls on the Seton Catholic basketball team are in an unfamiliar situation this season. They are not the overwhelming favorite to win the 4A championship. The Sentinels have not lost a state playoff game since their 52-49 defeat by Maricopa in the 2015 state final. Seton Catholic has won the title each year since. No player on the roster has experienced anything other than a state-championship season. Sarah Barcello was the scoring leader in 2014-15 as a freshman and for the following three seasons. She’s now gone. There is plenty of talent, but the team lacks the same star power. Thus, this season presents a unique challenge to coach Karen Self. “Our kids know that they’re the underdog regardless of what we’ve done in the past,” Self said. “We’re a new team, a different team, and kind of have a different look about us. And, there are other teams we’ll probably end up playing that are more highly-regarded than we are right now.” As senior McKenna Klecker pointed out, “We’ve had, what, like five players go Division 1 since our freshman year? We don’t have that one person now to rely on to just give the ball to and score big baskets. We kind of all have to be a part of it now.” Seton Catholic lacks height, which Self said could be a problem against some of the state’s top teams. “We really don’t have much size at all. We have a couple of kids that are close to sixfoot. Teams out there have multiple girls who are six-two, six-three that we’ll have to be able to defend in the post,” she said. “We’ll do some double teams, some pressing. Even some of our guards will have to take some time battling inside and seeing what they can do. We’ll have to have those multiple looks to not get predictable and not just give up a bunch of easy points down there.” What the Sentinels lack in height they make up in speed. By immediately running off missed shots, the Sentinels hope to attack defenses before they have time

tions and staying in shape to run some of the other teams off the floor if they are a little bit bigger than us,” senior Kendyl Thompson said. The Sentinels have plenty of young, talented players who have a chance to shine. Self said her multiple freshmen and sophomores are “fearless” and they will contribute right away. Seton Catholic must find its identity against many of Arizona’s top teams in each conference before the playoffs. Klecker said the seniors are ready to lead and excited to make one more run at a title. “I feel like now that we’re not the favorite or not like the big name, our biggest goal is proving people wrong,” Klecker said. “We hear that we’ve kind of lost some of the big players and we don’t have that same recognition and that we’re not winners anymore. “I think that’s completely false.” Submit your Sports stories to zalvira@timespublications.com Check us out and like the East Valley Tribune on facebook and follow @EVTNow on Twitter

Goldwater exhibit displays rarely seen sides of Arizona BY NIKI D’ANDREA Get Out Staff Writer
A
li Goldwater remembers flying in a plane over the Grand Canyon with William F. Buckley, Jr. and her grandfather, Barry Goldwater, when she was about five years old. “We flew up there, and he would always have a camera,” she recalled. “He usually had a couple cameras with him, because he’d be shooting black and white and color. So at an early age, I remember just traveling around the state with him, and we usually flew in an airplane or a helicopter. I couldn’t vote, but I worked for him. I got to travel with him around the state when he gave speeches and whatnot.” Though he’s known internationally as the late five-term U.S. Senator from Arizona and Republican nominee for President of the United States in the 1964 election, Barry Goldwater was also an archivist of Arizona history. To a large extent, he is Arizona history. Little Barry Goldwater was the ring-bearer at the first wedding held after Arizona’s statehood in 1912 – an event he recounted in 1978 for the Arizona History Project: “I remember I was only about 4 years old, standing outside waiting for the telegraph boy to bring a message saying that President Taft had signed us into statehood. It was Joe Meltzer’s determination to be the first man married in the State of Arizona. Sure enough, I can still see that dust coming up old unpaved First Avenue with the messenger with the telegram.” In adulthood, Goldwater would have captured that dust being kicked up into the air on camera. Over the course of his life, he took more than 15,000 photographs, and the vast majority of them capture snapshots of a lost Arizona: vistas of untamed wilderness; detailed close-ups of desert flora; action shots of wild horses; candid photos of Native American children. An extensive selection of Goldwater’s photographs will be on display in the exhibit Photographs by Barry Goldwater: The Arizona Highways Collection, opening on Jan. 6 at Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West (SMoW). The exhibition was done in coordination

to preserve and digitize her grandfather’s photos for the Barry & Peggy Goldwater Foundation, which she founded in 2018. “This has been a dream of mine for many years,” said Goldwater, who gathered negatives and photos from relatives as well as institutions throughout the U.S. that housed part of her grandfather’s work. “Initially, a few years ago, I started visiting the directors of these institutions and talking to them about the collection and what I wanted to do, and they were all on board, but they also kind of looked at me and said, ‘Wow, you’re really going to do that? Because there’s 15,000 (photos).’” Photographs by Barry Goldwater: The Arizona Highways Collection is the first allphoto solo exhibition at SMoW. “The community of Scottsdale couldn’t be prouder than to feature as its first oneperson photography show the work of a highly distinguished native Arizonan, Paradise Valley resident and a U.S. Senator of Arizona,” said Tricia Loscher, assistant museum director at Western Spirit. “Barry Goldwater was a multi-faceted
and complex person,” Loscher added. “His abilities as a businessman were evident as head of a family-owned department store; an avid outdoorsman, he was one of the first people known to shoot the rapids of the Colorado River; a five-term U.S. Senator, his eminence as a political figure looms large as he helped lead the country to preserve and be caretakers of all the best in our nation’s history.” In addition to capturing lost eras in Arizona, Goldwater also had access to places in the state that most people couldn’t casually visit, including Native American reservations, where Goldwater was a frequent visitor and a friend. “I remember one time going up to the Navajo Nation and being in the auditorium,” Ali recalled. “And I was watching (my grandfather) there and him speaking, and he had a great turnout. It was just really interesting to see how receptive they were, and the reception that he got from the Navajo people.” “Not many people were able to capture the different tribes of Arizona like my grandfather,” she added. “Because he did have their respect and he respected them tremendously. He spent a lot of time on the different reservations.” Goldwater’s photos from the reservations and other rural parts of the state capture the essence of the American West, which made them a perfect fit for SMoW, Loscher says, adding that working with Ali Goldwater has been “a rewarding experience for the staff at SMoW.” In addition to Goldwater’s photos, the exhibition will include some of his personal items, including one of his camera cases, which he wrote “Goldwater” on with a Sharpie. Also as part of the exhibition, which runs through June 23, the museum will host the event “Growing Up Goldwater” on Wednesday, Jan. 30. Ali Goldwater and several other members of the Goldwater family will be in attendance to share stories and celebrate the life and art of their famed patriarch. “For this special program, members of the Goldwater family will reminisce in a conversational style, sharing memorable See

photos that have never been seen before and revealing the stories that only they can tell,” Loscher says. Though digitizing all the images continues to be a work in progress for Ali (she says they can digitize 10 to 20 images an hour), she thinks her grandfather would be delighted to see how modern technology is preserving a legacy – both his own, and his beloved home state’s. “I think my grandfather would be extremely proud of us doing this kind of technology. He was very, very techie,” she said, adding: “He loved motorcycles, and he was just one of those guys that could do things and build things. At the end of his life, he was putting together model airplanes, and, as you know, putting together a model airplane is difficult. He had all these itty bitty pieces that he would work with. He turned his dark room into a model airplane room.” Goldwater took her grandfather’s photos on touring exhibitions over the past several months before landing at SMoW. She says things keep happening that she takes as signs that she’s doing exactly what her grandfather would want her to do. For example, while using a restroom recently at a truck stop in Odessa, Texas, she says she started chatting with another woman, who asked why she was on the road.
When Ali explained she was exhibiting photos by her grandfather, Barry Goldwater, the woman excitedly recounted how close her family had been to the Goldwaters decades ago. Turns out, the two women’s grandfathers knew each other well. “I mean, what are the odds?” Goldwater wondered. “Totally random. I was in a bathroom in Odessa, Texas, and I just happen to run into a woman whose family knew my grandfather.” Ali says she feels her grandfather’s hand in the preservation and exhibition of his photos. “I just know that he is right there every step of the way. And that’s a good feeling,” she said. “That’s what makes me go forward, because I know it’s important. It’s important to me, but I know how important it was to him and my grandmother as well. I know what he wanted, and I just really want to fulfill his and my grandmother’s dreams in bringing to life these amazing images that he spent so much time on and had so much passion for.” Photographs by Barry Goldwater: The Arizona Highways Collection runs Jan. 6 through June 23 at Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West, 3830 N. Marshall Way in Scottsdale. Museum admission costs $15 per adult, $13 for seniors and military, $8 for students and children ages 6 to 17, and is free for children younger than 6.
