ne by one, grieving East Valley mothers displayed photos of their sons who are part of the region’s suicide cluster, pleading with the state Senate’s Education Committee for help. The visibly moved committee members delivered, voting 7-0 to approve a landmark teen suicide prevention-training bill – a critical step to the legislation advancing, but several stages short of it becoming law. Sponsored by Sen. Sean Bowie, whose district includes Ahwatukee and parts of Chandler, Mesa and Tempe, the bipartisan SB1468 would require suicide prevention training every three years for all school personnel in-

volved with grades 6-12. “It’s so hard when something so bad happens,’’ said Sen. Kate Brophy McGee, R-Phoenix, who joined other members in thanking three East Valley mothers for their testimony and offering condolences. Lorie Warnock, of Tempe, an English teacher in Ahwatukee who lost her son, Mitch, to suicide in 2016 while he attended Corona del Sol High School, said she was “cautiously hopeful’’ when Bowie decided to sponsor a softer version of the bill named in memory of her son. “I can testify that as a teacher of 25 years, I was not prepared to know what to look for,” she said. Warnock said it was disappointing last year when Bowie’s first attempt was rejected. That would have mandated training every year but

was opposed by the Arizona School Boards Association. But this year, the association has taken a neutral position in exchange for an amendment approved by the committee that the training be considered a classroom-related expense when school funding is determined by the state. “I was surprised and delighted that it came up again. Neither myself nor my husband (Tim, also a teacher) expected that,’’ Warnock said. “I was ecstatic that the education committee was so moved by our testimony.’’ In her testimony, Warnock recounted how the Tempe Union High School District trained more than 850 employees, from school bus

Chandler fire, police unveil safety plan for schools

3

BY PAUL MARYNIAK Tribune Executive Editor

O

n the week of the first anniversary of the Valentine’s Day massacre at a Florida high school, Chandler city and school officials Feb. 11 unveiled a new coordinated approach to safety in Kyrene and Chandler Unified schools that focuses on prevention as well as training teachers and other staff in basic life-saving techniques in case the worst should happen. The School Emergency Response Team is the product of a year of planning and implementation by police, fire and representatives of the two school districts. Although Chandler police and fire officials said they are training designated safety teams from each Kyrene and Chandler Unified school in their jurisdiction, the two districts’ officials said those teams will extend that training to staff at schools in neighboring municipalities. Kyrene covers Ahwatukee, Tempe and Guadalupe while Chandler Unified has schools in Gilbert and Queen Creek. The genesis of the effort was the Feb. 14, 2018, slaying of 15 students and two staff at a high school in Parkland, Florida, by a 19-year-old former student, said Chandler Police Chief Sean Duggan. Duggan and Chandler Fire Chief Tom Dwiggins had their departments develop a joint training exercise to simulate a response to an active-shooter incident and realized school personnel should be involved. While the SERT program includes the development of tactical measures, it also involves training students through drills in how to protect themselves during an attack and training teachers and staff how to administer life-saving techniques on the wounded until first responders can arrive. “There’s always a gap between the time a call is made to 911 and the time emergency crews arrive,” Dwiggins noted. To that end, staffers have been trained in “Stop the Bleed” techniques being promulgated by the U.S. Homeland Security Department as well as CPR and other techniques so that lives can be saved before skilled paramedics arrive at the scene. In addition, Chandler police and fire have made “threat and vulnerability assessments” of school buildings to identify infrastructure weaknesses that could either help an attacker or hinder potential victims’ escape or ability to evade an assault. Additionally, staffers are being trained to identify situations where people are exhibiting troubling behavior. In addition, all schools in both districts are monitored by numerous closed-circuit cameras that feed into a central monitor-

ing room. Chandler Police David Levoy said the SERT program is the first of its kind in Arizona and may be the first in the nation. Asked about the level of communication between his department and those police agencies who have jurisdiction over Chandler Unified and Kyrene schools in other communities, he said: “These types of concepts will be shared, but more particularly the East Valley Chiefs Association, the Arizona Chiefs Association, you get together these chiefs, especially if there’s a successful program that’s been well received, and they’re going to discuss those things. That’s when those ideas get shared – at the executive level.” The SERT plan adds additional layers of prevention and response for Chandler Unified, which as a whole has significantly more school resource officers – armed police assigned to campus – than Kyrene. Five of Chandler’s six high schools have SROs and of its nine junior highs, two have full-time SROs and three others have parttime officers. Only Kyrene’s two middle schools in Chandler have SROs. Chandler Unified spokesman Terry Locke said his district wants 13 more SROs, and Kyrene Superintendent Jan Vesely last month told her school board that she was buoyed by Gov. Doug Ducey’s proposal in his 2019-20 budget to fund more SROs. Ducey wants to cover applications for three-year grants to cover the salaries of 89 SROs at school districts that applied but didn’t receive funding. Although 203 schools had sought grants, only 119 got them before the money ran out. “Kyrene is very excited,” about Ducey’s proposal, Vesely told her school board last month, because “it means that we will be able to restore our school resource officers both in our Ahwatukee schools as well as in Tempe.” But it’s unclear whether Ducey’s plan will pass the legislature. One vocal opponent of adding SROs to more campuses is new Superintendent of

Public Instruction Kathy Hoffman, whose spokesperson told New Times last month: “The superintendent supports an approach to school safety that focuses on increased funding for mental health services and more school counselors. She does not support the vision of having an SRO in every school.” Both Vesely and Chandler Unified Superintendent Camille Casteel said they were grateful for the leadership and cooperation from Chandler’s fire and police departments in developing the SET plan. Casteel noted that the district has hired former New Mexico police officer Tanya Smith as director of school safety for the district, and Vesely said, “We have worked hard to put words into actions with specific measures.” Those measures include secured front offices and a plethora of closed-circuit cameras around each of Kyrene’s 25 schools that are monitored from a central office. Kyrene is now implementing an additional level of that camera security. The board last year approved a plan to hire a coordinator for the district’s alarm systems and to install equipment that will give first responders a more complete view of any building during an emergency – making Kyrene the first district in the state with such a system. Additionally, students at Aprende Middle School in Chandler have been part of a district effort that breaks down kids’ resistance to reporting seemingly troubled classmates to a trusted teacher or administrator. That approach is part of the Speak Up, Stand Up, Save a Life movement supported by County Attorney Bill Montgomery and area police. Students are led to “come up with their own ideas on the best way to communicate to a trusted adult when they hear or see cries for help such as bullying, cyberbullying, drug addiction, depression and ongoing threats against others,” according to the movement’s website, speakupstandupsavealife.com.

CACTUS from page 1

blos and the Scottsdale Charros, the Cactus League maintains its traditional roots even though it has turned into a big business that stokes the tourism industry and swells sales tax receipts. Between them, the volunteer HoHoKams and Diablos raise at least $1.5 million for charities, covering everything from Little League teams to scholarships in the Maricopa County Community College District and Arizona State University. And the tradition set by spring baseball is so deep that one organization continues to raise nearly $1 million annually even without a baseball team. The Chandler Compadres have not had a Cactus League ballpark as a source of revenue for more than 20 years. While Compadre Stadium, with its distinctive blue roof and large outfield berm, has vanished and become a pleasant Cactus League memory, the Compadres have flourished and stayed true to their community service mission. Despite the long hours at Sloan Park and Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, and at Diablo Stadium in Tempe, members of the HoHoKams and Diablos and the additional volunteers who help them consider their work a labor of love. Call them “hospitality hosts’’– as Doug Black from the Diablos does – or “ambassadors’’ for the Chicago Cubs and Oakland Athletics – as Tim Baughman of the Mesa HoHoKams does – the fundraising prowess of these organizations is undeniable. “What we fund them with is the bulk of their budget. If we don’t fund them, they probably don’t exist, like Little League or a cheer leading squad,’’ said Baughman, president of the HoHoKams, which donated $455,000 to East Valley charities last year. “All of that money stays in the East Valley, with an emphasis on Mesa,’’ he said. Although the HoHoKams continue to embrace youth sports as their primary mission, he said other nonprofits that benefit the community in numerous other ways are also funded with grants. Among the beneficiaries are the Community Bridges behavioral health agency; Helen’s Hope Chest, which helps foster children; and Arizona Brainfood, which sends lunches home for low-income children so that they are not hungry on weekends when free school lunches are not available. Other recipients include East Valley Boys and Girls clubs and YMCAs. “There is no finer thing you can do as a Mesa HoHoKam than to take a check and deliver it to a community organization,’’ Baughman said.

The Diablos, also formed to attract a Major League Baseball team to Tempe, focus heavily on education, providing 40 scholarships each year to students at the community college district and ASU. Every year, the Diablos raise about $1 million through several fundraising events, with Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim games the largest fundraiser at venerable Tempe Diablo Stadium, now the oldest and most intimate stadium in the league. Black, co-chairman for baseball, said about 60 percent of the Diablos revenue comes from parking cars. A 50-50 raffle is another big money maker, with proceeds split between the winner and charity.

it’s very easy to sum up the Diablos fundraising efforts. “We give away virtually everything,’’ he said. The Scottsdale Charros keep the civic tradition alive at Scottsdale Stadium, raising another $1 million and thoughtfully doling out the proceeds to maximize the impact on the community. A Charro is assigned to each school and the organization caters donations to their needs, said Dennis Robbins, executive director. He said the organization’s mission includes financing eight scholarships for students at Arizona State University to address the teacher’s shortage. Robbins said the Charros top priority is

These raffles have significantly increased revenues in Mesa and Scottsdale as well. Tempe celebrates the central role of charity during the Cactus League every year with Tempe Diablo Day, where all revenues from a particular game are donated to the Diablos with the blessings of Arte Moreno, the Angels’ owner. The annual game is scheduled for 1 p.m. on Feb. 25, when the Angels play the Brewers at Diablo. “He appreciates us, that’s the best way I can put it,’’ Black said about Moreno. “He’s very kind to the Diablos and he’s an honorary Diablo.’’ Frank Coen, the Diablos president, said

education. Beyond the scholarships, the Charros arrange for additional student teachers to assist full-time teachers in low-income schools, so that students get more attention through lower teacher to student ratios. He said the focus is on keeping children motivated to learn. “We assign a Charro to every school in Scottsdale and they develop a relationship with the principal,’’ Robbins said, allowing the Charros to help in the best way possible. The civic organizations form a veritable army of volunteers, with each group sporting its own unique uniform.

The HoHoKams, which date back to the late Dwight Patterson’s attraction of the Chicago Cubs to Arizona in 1951, arguably have the hardest job but each organization faces a unique series of challenges. The HoHoKams handle the parking and ushering duties at two ballparks, Sloan and Hohokam Stadium, using separate crews that rarely work together, said Tim Baughman, the group’s president. It’s no small task, with 185 HoHoKams assisted by another 60 volunteers during spring training, he said. “It’s a big commitment. To remain an active member in our organization, you must work three-quarters of the games,’’ Baughman said, with shifts typically lasting four to six hours. The Diablos and the Charros make a similar commitment. The Diablos have 225 members and about 50 volunteers. Diablos are required to work seven games a year, while about 100 Charros work at Scottsdale Stadium every season. “It feels more like summer camp to me. You are having some laughs with your friends,’’ Black said. “As long as people are having safe fun, it’s fun for us.’’ While there are always occasional issues when dealing with the public, “you have to laugh about it and move on with your day,’’ Black said. This year, the HoHoKams received a bit of a twist from Major League Baseball. The Oakland Athletics play only 12 home games at Hohokam Stadium, instead of the normal 15, and the Cubs play a longer 18 game schedule that includes two sellouts against the World Champion Boston Red Sox at the end of the season. The A’s are leaving early to start the regular season against the Seattle Mariners at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, March 20 and 21. These games are expected by many to serve as an emotional curtain call for Japanese star Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners, who is considered a likely Hall of Famer. The Red Sox and other East Coast teams train in Florida and play in the Grapefruit League. Each league has 15 teams. Because of this arrangement, the Red Sox are rarely seen in Arizona during the spring. “It’s going to be pretty crazy. We are used to these games being sold out, whether it’s Boston or Kansas City,’’ Baughman said. But the payoff, as the Cactus League season comes to the end, will be higher revenues for charity, helping the HoHoKams hit their goal of raising $500,000 this year, he said. The HoHoKams see the results every year at an awards dinner attended by recipients, Baughman said. “It benefits our members to see where all of our hard work goes,’’ he said.

Mesa lawmaker seeks curbs on cellphone spying

And then there were ads for a clothing product – she would not specify – that Facebook could only have known about had the camera on her phone been activated. All that, she said, is alarming. “You don’t know who’s watching,’’ Townsend said, or where, suggesting that someone who takes a phone into a bathroom while showering now has to worry about what images are going out. No one from Facebook or any of the other companies that have phone and computer applications testified about the bill. There was no immediate response from Facebook to inquiries from Capitol Media Services, though the company has issued statements in the past that say it is not spying on users through cameras or microphones without their consent. But Townsend said there are other indications that Facebook has an interest

technology.’’ She said that users have probably given permission for Facebook to do that when they loaded the software. “But that permission has been hidden layers deep within that app,’’ Townsend said. That, she said, is what the legislation is designed to do. Rep. Kelli Butler, D-Paradise Valley, called the practices “very alarming.’’ And she said some sort of controls are needed. But Butler said she’s not sure this is the solution. Some of that, she said, is the fact that Arizona is seeking to impose requirements on software designed for national and international use that is downloaded in Arizona. And then there’s the question of how to even police and enforce this. “I just don’t see how it would work,’’

Butler said in voting against the measure. “I don’t think it’s helping solve the problem.’’ Rep. Frank Carroll, R-Sun City West, did support the bill. But he, too, questioned the practicality of it all. “If this was in effect, as this statute tries to do, how would one be able to determine if there’s been an infraction of this with respect to their privacy?’’ he said. “That’s another layer that we need to work on,’’ Townsend responded. Townsend pointed out that there is a way to try to control what software programs can do. In an Android phone, users can go to the “settings’’ menu and then look at each individual application. Within each of those users can decide which permissions to grant. Some versions of Android also have advanced menus that go directly to “permissions’’ which then list each device, like camera or microphone, and allow users to turn on or off permissions for each specific program. But Townsend said it shouldn’t be necessary for users, some of whom may not be tech savvy, to have to figure all that out. She said it should be transparent at the time an application is downloaded or first activated. While no one spoke against the proposal, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce is on record in opposition. Spokesman Garrick Taylor said that businesses fear “unintended consequences for sectors ranging from telecommunications to banking to telemedicine.’’ “There is a lot of emerging technology that can aid consumers’ lives that we don’t want to unwittingly stifle,’’ he said.

has collected $827,000 from sales of the license plates since 2014, according to a spokesman for the Arizona Department of Transportation. The agency provides and distributes specialty plates that have been approved by legislators. “That’s their right to have their hateful views and to push their hateful policies, but we shouldn’t be using the government to help them raise the money to do it,” said state Sen. Juan Mendez, D-Tempe, who is proposing two bills to offer more transparency on specialty plates. This is the first time the group has received any pushback on the license plate, said Kristen Waggoner, senior vice president of the U.S. legal division for the alli-

ance. “Secular Coalition of Arizona is targeting Alliance Defending Freedom and the license plate because it disagrees with the view that the license plate expresses,” she said. For each license plate sold or renewed annually, the group collects $17. In fiscal year 2018, 11,169 license plates with the motto were sold or renewed. The state offers more than 60 specialty license plates, according to ADOT. To create a new plate, a state lawmaker must introduce a bill and have it approved by both houses of the legislature. Motorists can request specialty and custom plates through ServiceArizona.

ADOT’s role is to provide the plates to customers “and distribute the funds generated from the plate sales as required in the law,” an agency spokesman said in an email. Mendez has introduced two bills, SB 1462 and 1463, that would eliminate the “In God We Trust” plate and require ADOT to keep a publicly-accessible database that includes the names and missions of the organizations that receive money from the plates. “The whole license plates program is a problem, and it’s just ripe for these kinds of people to take advantage of the state government to help them raise money,” Mendez said.

ep. Kelly Townsend says she knows her phone is watching and listening to her – even when she’s not talking

on it. So now the Mesa Republican wants to force the companies that develop software for phones and computers to disclose up front what they’re collecting and what they’re doing with it. Her legislation, HB 2524, cleared its first hurdle last week as the House Technology Committee voted 5-2 to make it the law in Arizona for consumers to be told when software has access to the camera or microphone. More to the point, when someone is downloading the software, the user would be informed why data is being collected on them. Townsend said companies like Facebook do provide that information – but only if you look deep enough into the disclosure that’s provided when the application is being downloaded. Even more difficult, she said, is finding ways to block the software from spying. She told colleagues of having a conversation with her son about how his uncle uses a CPAP machine, short for “continuous positive airway pressure,’’ a device designed to help people with sleep apnea breathe more easily. “The next day I started getting ads for CPAP machines,’’ Townsend said. Then there was a conversation in Spanish with someone about tamales at Christmas. “For the next week I got all my ads in Spanish,’’ Townsend said. “I hadn’t Googled it.’’

in watching what users are doing – without asking them first. That includes a pending patent application by Facebook. “The patent would allow them to use your camera to monitor your facial expression as you look at ads, as you’re scrolling through Facebook, to determine whether or not you are pleased with the product you’re looking at or you don’t like the product,’’ Townsend told other lawmakers. “It does show the intent of this particular app of what they’re wanting to do with your

Chandler ex-councilman Jack Sellers named county supervisor BY PAUL MARYNIAK Tribune Executive Editor

F

ormer Chandler City Council member Jack Sellers is the new Maricopa County supervisor for District 1. The four members of the board and the clerk picked Sellers, who is in his final year on the State Transportation Board, to fill out the remaining two years of Denny Barney’s term. Barney, of Gilbert, stepped down Feb. 1 to become CEO/president of the East Valley Partnership. Seller, whose district includes Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Ahwatukee, Queen Creek and Sun Lakes, bested 12 other Republicans – including eight who lost elections last year. State law required the three other Republican and one Democratic supervisor to pick a Republican since Barney is one. Sellers’ election also ensured that the board will remain all male. Two women, former state Rep. Jill Norgaard and ASU associate president of community relations Angela Creedon, were among those who had applied for the vacancy. Several of his new board colleagues singled out Sellers’ expertise in transportation issues, and Sellers himself indicated that will be a priority for him in the next two years. “We are at a point where the next several years will be critical in defining our transportation infrastructure for the future,” said Sellers in brief remarks after his swearing-in. Several other supervisors also noted his work in helping to plan for the increasing presence of autonomous vehicles on the road. Sellers has spoken before on the number of issues that state and local planners will have to deal with to accommodate autonomous cars and, eventually, trucks. Supervisor Steve Chucri joked about Sellers’ longtime involvement in areas of transportation, noting he met Sellers when he was working for General Motors and “my family was in the car business.” “You look at Mr. Sellers’ background and his time on the Transportation board, and the pieces of the puzzle just fit,” Chucri said. In his application letter, Sellers also underscored his transportation expertise: “One of the pressing issues for our county over the next few years will be the intelligent extension of our Prop 400 transportation funding mechanism to Prop 500,” he said, referring to two voter-approved measures that had added billions to the development of roads and public trans-

portation. “I also have very good working relationships with MAG, Valley Metro, ADOT and the Federal Highway Administration.” Sellers, whose annual salary will be $76,000, will have an annual office budget of about $440,000 and three full-time staff members. He also will now have a role with the rest of the board in overseeing an annual budget of more than $2.5 billion. That money funds a wide variety of services that include: county road and bridge construction and maintenance, the operation of all other county offices such as those of the sheriff and recorder; flood control and various health and sanitation programs, including restaurant and supermarket inspections; Superior Court and related operations, including the public defender, county attorney and probation; and various education, cultural and recreation programs. In his letter, Sellers touted his reputation on Chandler City Council as the “Economic Development Council Member.” “I recognize that Arizona’s economy is very dependent on foreign trade and I have also been given the title of “International Ambassador” and continue to serve on the GPEC International Leadership Council, as well as the Arizona Mexico Commission and Arizona Sister Cities. I Authority,” he said. He also touted his strong ties to ASU and the Maricopa County community college system and his “relationship with our State Legislature” and clearly signaled he’ll be seeking a four-year term in 2020, stating “based on the distribution of voters in District 1, I am the most electable candidate seeking this position.”

drivers to teachers and principals, on recognizing the early warning signs of suicide and how to prevent it, with the help of Teen Lifeline. The district’s actions serve as a model for Bowie’s bill. Warnock said that she and her fellow teachers at Mountain Pointe High School have noticed that more students are willing to report that they are not doing well psychologically, or that they are concerned about a friend. She said the students appear more confident that teachers know how to handle their concerns appropriately, Warnock said. While mental health is complicated, the response takes about 30 seconds and can be handled in a simple email to a guidance counselor and a social worker. “The numbers continue to spike. It’s something we can’t ignore,’’ Warnock said. “The schools are the hub of the community. We are all in this together. We are trying to build a safety net of wellness.’’ Warnock was joined in her testimony by Sheila Hedstrom-Pegler of Gilbert, who lost her son Tyler while he attended Combs High School in San Tan Valley, and Angela Gamboa, whose son Jacob attended a Higley high school. Both brought pictures of their sons, underscoring the tragedy that haunts them to this day. Tyler died in July 2017 and was the third of 33 East Valley teenagers – mostly boys – who have taken their lives since that month. Hedstrom-Pelger said that her son was a talented musician who told her that if did not make it as a performer, he wanted to become a music teacher.

When she testified before the State Senate Education Committee last week, Sheila Hedstrom-Pegler held up a photo of her 16-year-old son Tyler, who took his life in July 2017 and was among the first of the 33 East Valley teens who have been lost to suicide since that month. (Special to the Tribune)

She said two female classmates found her son sobbing in a dark supply room nine months before his death and that on a third occasion, they reported it to a teacher. She said the teacher knew Tyler well and sympathized with him, but he was not trained to recognize the early signs of suicide. “He sympathized with Tyler’s despair, but he did not escalate this to a counselor and he did not notify me,’’ Hedstrom-Pelger said. “We did miss the signs of depression, that we now know,’’ Hedstrom-Pegler, a nurse, said. “I don’t blame anyone for my son’s death, but I know it was an opportunity missed.’’ “Our kids deserve this and our parents deserve this,’’ she said. “No parent should have an empty seat at their table and no teacher should have an empty seat in their classroom.’’ Added Gamboa: “It’s imperative that teachers be equipped to identify the students who struggle just to get through the day.’’ She testified that Jacob had told a teacher he was fine when he was not. Lorie Warnock of Tempe, a teacher at Mountain Pointe High School “I know her concern was in Ahwatukee, lost her athlete son to suicide when he was a junior at Corona del Sol High School. She begged the committee to require genuine and that she cared for suicide prevention training for all school personnel. (Special to the him,’’ Gamboa said. “Maybe, Tribune) with this important training,

the outcome could have been different.’’ East Valley suicide prevention advocates have tracked 33 teen suicides completed in the past 18 months in the East Valley and another five in neighboring communities, including Scottsdale, said Christina Nguyen of Chandler, a member of Project Connect 4, a grassroots youth wellness organization. “It’s a big confidence booster,’’ Nguyen said, to see the Education Committee pass the bill unanimously. “It wasn’t about Republicans and Democrats. It was about human beings coming together to save

our kids.’’ Bowie and Sen. J.D. Mesnard, R-Chandler, set aside their political differences and testified for the bill in a bipartisan show of support. Other members of the delegation representing Ahwatukee, Chandler and Tempe all support the legislation. “This is the first time I have ever testified on somebody else’s bill,’’ Mesnard said, stressing that teen-suicide prevention should not be a partisan issue because it addresses a social problem that affects everyone. “They need training so they can look for signs, so they can prevent the next suicide,’’ he said. “I can’t think of anything worse than a young person taking their own life.’’ “Given the nature and the seriousness of this issue, I think this is the right policy,’’ Mesnard said. Bowie cautioned that there are many steps ahead before the suicide prevention training bill becomes law. He expects a vote by the full Senate possibly by the end of this week. “I think we’ve got a Higley Unified mother Angela Gamboa also testified before the committee, good shot,’’ Bowie said. holding a portrait of the son she lost to suicide. She believes if teachers had “It’s a necessary step, been trained to recognize signs of suicidal behavior, her son might be still alive and I am glad we got it today.

Obama surprises students on reservation BY CHRISTINA FUOCO-KARASINSKI Tribune Staff Writer

F

ormer First Lady Michelle Obama surprised a handful of students meeting with Gila River Gov. Stephen Roe Lewis at the Huhugam Heritage Center outside Chandler Feb. 12 before her Comerica Theatre book tour stop that night. The students, ranging in age from junior high to college, were quiet when Obama’s striking presence entered the room with her husband’s former top adviser, Valerie Jarrett. “We have no agenda other than to hear from you guys,” Obama said, smiling. “What are you guys talking about? Don’t let us stop you.” Lewis, who received an unexpected call about the visit only the week prior, had just asked the young adults what they were doing for Valentine’s Day. “We can groove,” Obama said, following a similar remark by Lewis. “I keep telling my kids, ‘I am cool. You don’t know it, but I am.’” Secret Service kept a close eye on Obama and the school, as nearly 25 mo-

Overcoming the costs of hearing loss Connect Hearing, a national hearing care provider, is leading the charge to make quality hearing solutions more affordable for Americans suffering from hearing loss. 48 million Americans are significantly affected by hearing loss, and yet, just 14 percent of those who could benefit from hearing aids use them.1 Studies have shown that the cost of hearing aids is a huge reason that many have not adopted them. Unfortunately, this leaves tens of millions of Americans feeling isolated, frustrated, and earning lower incomes2 due to decreased effectiveness in the workplace. It also increases risks of depression, decline in memory and concentration, and early-onset dementia.3 More than 100 years ago, Helen Keller, who was both deaf and blind, explained the isolation caused by hearing loss:

In good news, Connect Hearing, a leading national network of hearing care centers, has worked with a world leading hearing aid manufacturer to ensure that advanced hearing solutions are available to all, regardless of their financial means. This has led to the limited release of the NovaSense EliteTM hearing aid at the special price of $499. This includes custom programming to suit each wearer’s unique hearing needs. Connect Hearing is also offering a 45-day satisfaction guarantee and do not charge for hearing evaluations and fitting services. This program has been met with great enthusiasm by Connect Hearing’s dedicated team, including Doctor of Audiology, Pauline Dinnauer, who says, “It is great to work for an organization that is working for all Americans with hearing loss.” According to research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine 2Sergei Kochkin PhD (2005), The Impact of Untreated Hearing Loss on Household Income 3Lin et al (2011), Hearing Loss and Incident Dementia, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine.

reservation to study.” Obama said she could relate. “I can relate to being the only one,” she said. “It takes a toll on you in a way the majorities don’t understand.” Schools and universities should expand their admission practices so students aren’t the only ones. “They should feel like they have a place,” she said. “I still feel like I’m transitioning as one of the few.” The governor’s son, Daniel Lewis, explained he wants to help his peers on the reservation. He is a sophomore at Arizona State University who is studying political science and Native American studies. “I went to Catholic high school like Samaira (Juan, a fellow attendee),” he said. “That transition was a big leap for me. That transition was like a whole ‘nother world. It was just like me and two other Native Americans in my whole class. “The point is, all kids on the reservation deserve that type of elevated learning experience. After college, I want to push that with STEM and STEAM, they can get a well-rounded education. I think

Wildcat Country grows paw print in Gilbert BY CECILIA CHAN Tribune Staff Writer

T

he University of Arizona is expanding its presence in the East Valley and using Gilbert to do it. U of A will be offering a nursing program at the town-owned University Building in the Heritage District starting in the fall. Town Council this month approved a $1.7 million multi-year lease agreement with the U of A, which has been holding coding boot camp classes in the fourstory building at Vaughn Avenue and Ash Street since May 2017. “I’m excited for the vote tonight,” Mayor Jenn Daniels said. “It’s a vote long time in coming.” Missouri-based Park University currently occupies the first floor of the building under a three-year, $799,128 lease agreement with the town, offering classes in fall 2018. The U of A will take over the entire third floor of the building. “So now, we may have competition,” said Dr. Jeff Ehrlich, executive director of Park University’s Gilbert campus, adding, however, “I believe together we will grow. We welcome U of A to the Gilbert community.” Ehrlich added that his campus has 11 employees and expects to hire six to eight more and that the projected enrollment this fall is 300. Under the lease, the U of A’s offerings will expand to include a bachelor of science degree in nursing. In the first year, the program is expected to enroll 72 students, with a projected total enrollment of 216 students at year three. Councilman Jared Taylor said Gilbert

that will elevate them to excellence.” Adam Cardona Jr. is a high school senior but took a common-sense approach to college. He’s considering ASU Polytechnic or University of Arizona. “I’m going to make them compete for me,” he told Obama. “Excellent,” she said. “Make sure they put the money on the table.” Obama quietly listened to each of the students describe their passions and dreams. When they were finished, she had encouraging messages for each. Perhaps the most touching talk was with

will benefit tremendously from the U of A’s program as there is a waiting list in the state for students wanting to attend nursing school. “I hope they are successful that one of them will buy the building,” Taylor said. “I love their plans but I still want to get this off our books.” The town custom-designed the $36 million, taxpayer-funded, 87,000-square-foot building for Saint Xavier University, which inked a 15-year lease in 2015. Some of its program offerings included nursing. Rent payments were meant to pay off the town’s bonds for the project but the Catholic university broke the lease nine months later, paid a $4 million penalty and left the building empty for more than a year until Park University and the UA moved into the facility. Upon the execution of the lease, the U of A must hand over a $40,418 security deposit and the first installment of the monthly rent payment of $40,418 to the

town for a total of $80,836. The U of A will continue to offer its Coding Boot Camp at the building. The initial term of the lease is for three years and seven months with three, oneyear extension options. The University Building is equipped with a nursing simulation suite designed to replicate a hospital patient care setting, which was a major factor in the U of A’s choice of Gilbert, according to town staff. The campus will offer a blend of online and traditional classroom learning. The four-semester, upper-division BSN-IH program differs from the conventional BSN pathway in that it focuses on integrative health and wellbeing assessment and promotion, according to the university. “We are excited to have the opportunity to launch our new BSN integrative health program in Gilbert,” said U of A Nursing Interim Dean Dr. Ki Moore, adding: “This will be the first nursing program nationally to incorporate integrative

health content and interventions into a BSN program. We will use state-of-the art simulation to help students master clinical skills and innovative technology to deliver course content as we prepare the next generation of professional nurses.” Offering an alternative to traditional biomedical and pharmacological options, integrative health promotes a healing-oriented, whole-person approach to health care. “This new BSN-IH program is unique in highlighting nurses’ role in leading integrative health care to consider whole person/whole system, relationship-based and person-centered approaches to care,” said Connie Miller, chair of the university’s the Division of General Nursing and Health Education. “Online courses, complemented by face-to-face skills development and maximized simulated learning experiences, will take full advantage of this wonderful simulation suite in Gilbert,” she added. The U of A Health Sciences has outlined a set of mission-critical priorities, which include “future-proofing” its graduates, preparing them to lead and work with interdisciplinary teams to improve care, the university said in a release. Conditions are clinically treated through a variety of methods, including lifestyle enhancement, nutrition and appropriate biomedical therapies. The university also has a College of Medicine in Phoenix to train doctors and scientists and a campus in Chandler offering undergraduate courses, including educational credentials in cybersecurity.

Mesa church forms unique tie to the athletic community BY JENNIFER HUTCHISON Tribune Contributor

N

estled along a two-lane road in east Mesa that is still surrounded by remnants of rural living sits Paloma Community Church. Although modest in appearance, the local Christian church for the past several years has played an integral role in both faith and athletic communities. From its humble beginning in 1999 as an open field, through the construction of sports fields and a no-frills gathering space 10 years later to the recent building of a multipurpose facility, Paloma has become a place bustling with activity seven days a week. Purchased with the proceeds from the sale of two churches, the founding members had a vision that included a unique opportunity to give back to the community. Banking on continued growth in the area and concerned by the shortage of youth sports fields, church leaders drew up plans for the 22.5-acre parcel of land that became a vehicle for their sports outreach ministry. “They really wanted to do something different for the community, so the Paloma Campus was built,” said Pastor Jim Ball. “We built a training campus for athletes, and for life.” The next step was selecting a partner that shared a similar vision. That’s when the community church met with the Arizona Arsenal Soccer Club and in 2011, the pair took a leap of faith and formed an extraordinary partnership – one that helps provide a much-needed service to thousands of young athletes, but with no strings attached. “We don’t expect anything of Arsenal, or the families,” explained Ball. “If people want to connect to the church, they come because they want to and they stay because they like it.” It is this kind of relationship that has provided a safe and positive place where nearly 1,200 soccer players train and become better athletes every week. “To expect anything in return would lessen what we do here,” Ball said. Arsenal President Geoff Borger said the eight-year collaboration is unique in that “while Arsenal is not a religious group,

we found that our vision very much aligns with Paloma.” Borger said the biggest reason the partnership works is because of the right people with the right priorities. “When we combine forces, we are stronger,” he explained. And even though the two organizations operate separately, they frequently work side-by-side improving the facilities and giving back to those in need. “At Christmas, we teamed up with Arsenal to provide a shopping event in our community room,” Ball said, adding that church and soccer families donated over 10,000 toys, wrapping paper and other supplies to help hundreds of people who were in need.

Families were invited to the campus where they could “shop” for gifts, other necessities and food boxes, free of charge. Despite the relentless support for the community, the faith group yet again answered a calling to do more and in 2016 – together with Arsenal and other members of the community – the Legacy Project got started. “By ‘legacy’ we wanted to create something for future generations to enjoy,” Ball explained. And on the heels of Paloma’s 20-year anniversary, the group cut the ribbon on a 33,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art multipurpose facility that provides a place for hundreds of kids, teens and adults to participate in various indoor educational and recreational programs.

The building, which sits adjacent to a newly built and cutting-edge weight room, has a gym, a community and meeting room, a turf covered strength and conditioning space and a large loft area. Ball, who has vowed to grow the sports outreach program, explained they have a vital responsibility to live out the church’s mission of living, growing and serving. He recently challenged his congregation by asking them, “How do we take this facility and most effectively assist those that otherwise wouldn’t have this help?” With planned activities such as after school tutoring and organized sports, the much-needed structure also serves as a place of worship where the faithful gather on Sundays. The indoor venue, which was built through the generosity of church members, soccer families, local contractors, and a $1.8 million grant from Iowa-based Church of God Foundation, will also host basketball, volleyball, pickle ball, indoor football and futsal events. Keeping with the church’s mission to provide the community with different athletic opportunities in a safe and positive learning environment, Paloma and Arsenal reached out to Anthony Nguyen, owner of Chandler based martial arts school NB Taekwondo. Nguyen, a top 25 US national level coach, will start operating an Olympic Taekwondo program at the Paloma campus. NBT will also offer clinics, traditional and hybrid classes and training for all ages. “This is a world class facility and I am grateful for the opportunity to grow something really special here,” said Nguyen. “My staff and I hope to guide, support and empower both youth, parents and even grandparents to reach their goals and continue to make new ones. We are a place where students become athletes, and athletes become true champions.” With the paint barely dry on the new construction, and as the activity calendar fills up quickly, Paloma’s pastor says he’s still thinking ahead to more expansion and more outreach. “The building is already too small, and there has been discussion of a theatre type venue that will offer musical arts programs,” Ball said. “We recognize not every kid is an athlete.”

Shotguns and violins go together for Mesa student BY JAMES CARR Tribune Contributor

O

ne of Arizona State University’s newest varsity Gun Devil members balances her time between shotgun shooting and fiddling. Macy Kienbaum, 18, came to Mesa from Chewelah, Washington, to join the ASU varsity shotgun team, named the “Gun Devils,” while getting a degree in graphic information technology and fiddling. “The shotgun program was the first thing I looked at. I didn’t care about the degree at that point, it was a bonus that they had a good degree,” Macy Kienbaum said. She began shooting competitively at age 13 at the suggestion of her uncle because she had some experience bird hunting with her father, she said. She quickly became enthralled with the sport, joining clubs and attending clinics. “So, I shot throughout high school on a couple different high school leagues, both private and through my school, and I competed nationally a few times and I just really wanted to shoot for college,” she said. “I applied, I got in, I went and toured the team and kind of got to shoot with them for a day when I was a senior in high school and I really liked them. I came down here and that was that.” Macy also met her husband, Dexter Kienbaum, 19, through shooting, she said.

Macy Kienbaum of Mesa is equally skilled at playing the violin and firing a shotgun for the ASU Gun Devils. (Special to the Tribune)

They dated throughout high school and got married shortly after graduating, moving to Arizona together, she said. Dexter is studying business administration at Grand Canyon University, he said. “We were on different teams from the same area, rival teams,” said Dexter. Alongside with school and shooting, she also spreads her love of fiddling through teaching. She started playing the fiddle at age 4, joined a multigenerational bluegrass band by age 8 and was

teaching friends and soon strangers by 11, she said. “They called themselves the ‘Afterthoughts’ and they performed very regularly all over Spokane, just a great eclectic bunch of people,” recalled her mom, Andrea Morgan. “We’re really blessed in the Spokane area to have a great old-time bunch of people, older that are very giving of their time.” “She loves the music enough to where she goes and she will play a little bit every night before bed, little bit every morning and every time she has spare time,” Dexter said. Her mother, Andrea Morgan, said that Macy’s passion for fiddling and sharing it with others made her a giving person. “She’s never selfish about helping other people and bringing them along. Keeping the joy in music and spreading that,” Morgan said. Macy continues to teach some of her Washington students via Skype while taking on new students in Arizona, she said. She attributes her extroversion and passion in life to her music playing, and believes that music has a positive impact on all who play. So, she wants to spread that positivity in whatever way she can, she said. “I would love to get to the point where I have 20 students,” Macy said. “That would be awesome if I had 20 to 30 students there were coming on a weekly ba-

sis, and I would love to build it into the Macy Kienbaum School of Music.” Her music practice can be found at macysmusic.com. Macy plans to take her degree and create websites for companies, combining her artistic and mathematical skills together in a career, she said. Her interest and skills with computers come from a young curiosity, she said. “Around age 13 or 14, she had quite an affinity for computers and art, a very creative person, good at expressing herself,” Morgan said. As for the Gun Devils, founded in 2012, Macy said she feels right at home with the team and enjoys the camaraderie and the fact that everyone helps each other grow as a competitor. “You shoot for the team, but you also shoot for yourself. I think that’s what’s nice about shooting in general,” she said. “Even if you have a bad day, at the end of the day you have the team to cheer on, but you’re stilling shooting for your own personal goals.” She said her love for the team comes from the gun safety and patriotism that comes from the sport. Everyone there knows their gun inside and out, always educating and promoting the correct handling of firearms, she said. “It’s really fun and enjoyable as a sport,” she said. “Maybe not for everybody, but for me.”

Mesa girl, 11, captures Native American hoop title TRIBUNE STAFF REPORT

M

esa resident Kailayne Jensen, 11, captured the World Youth Champion title earlier this month at the 29th annual World Championship Hoop Dance Contest at the Heard Museum. Kailayne was one of 27 dancers to compete in the Youth division for ages 6-12, the highest number ever posted. Because of the large number of competitors, for the first time two contestants performed in the ring simultaneously. This is her second Youth World Champion title. Hoop titles run in her family. Kailayne is the daughter of 2019 Senior Division Champion Lane Jensen and the sister of second-place Adult Division winner Tyrese Jensen. The family is from the Diné and Maricopa tribes. Kailayne, a fifth-grader at ASU Preparatory Academy, began dancing while still in diapers, beginning with the tiny tot

division at the Hoop Dance Contest, according to the Native American news site indiancountrytoday.com. She’s also the youngest member of the Yellow House Indian Dancers, which her Navajo father founded. Kailayne won second place in the 2015 and 2016 youth category. Two other Mesa children also competed in the youth division. Brother and sister Naiche, 7, and Manaya Duncan, 9, of Mesa also competed in the Youth division. Naiche and Manaya, attend Wilson Elementary School and are members of the San Carlos Apache, Arikara, Cree and Taino tribes. Several other members of the Duncan family also competed in the Adult division, including Tony Duncan, a past World Champion who placed sixth this year. All dancers were judged on precision, timing/rhythm, showmanship/creativity, and speed.

Cactus League is big business for EV cities BY WAYNE SCHUTSKY Tribune News Staff

T

hough attendance was down slightly in 2018, the Cactus League continued to be a financial boon for East Valley cities. Mesa is home to the Chicago Cubs, the team that draws the largest Cactus League audience every year. That fact remained true in 2018 and Mesa has the receipts to prove it. The city took in $15,827,532 in sales tax in March 2018, up from the $14,620,629 it took in the year before. That total was Mesa’s largest single month sales tax revenue haul in the past two years. The Cubs led the Cactus league in attendance in 2018, drawing 222,023 fans, followed by the Arizona Diamondbacks (166,063) and San Francisco Giants (155,651). Mesa is also home to the Oakland Athletics, who play at Hohokam Stadium, the Cubs’ former home. Tempe, home to Tempe Diablo Stadium and the Los Angeles Angels, is not as reliant on Cactus League play to fill city coffers as other host cities. Tempe’s sales tax revenue of $8,085,000 in March 2018 was the fourth-highest monthly total calculated by the city in 2017-18. That total was significantly higher than the year prior, though. Tempe’s March sales tax revenue grew by 13.6 percent in March 2018 over March 2017. Some of that growth could be attributed to the Angels, who had just signed international sensation Shohei Ohtani prior to Spring Training last year. Ohtani, a rare two-way player who could pitch and hit towering homeruns, drew an unprecedented amount of Japanese fans and media to Angels games last year. With Ohtani out with an injury this year, the Angels – and Tempe – could see Cactus League attendance slip. No East Valley city benefited more than Scottsdale as the city generated over $21 million in sales tax revenue in March last year alone – more than any other city in the East Valley. The city is home to one Cactus League team, the San Francisco Giants at Scottsdale Stadium, and two others, the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies, play

Scottsdale’s sales tax revenue of $21,613,590 in March 2018 was its highest monthly total in fiscal year 2017-18, accounting for just under 12 percent of citywide sales tax revenues that fiscal year. Fiscal year 2017-18 ran from July 2017 through June 2018. Despite its lasting popularity, the Cactus

The study found that fans, teams and ballpark operations contribute approximately $24.2 million in taxes to the state and $7.7 million to local coffers. Much of that impact comes in the form of hotel room stays and, unsurprisingly, Scottsdale’s hoteliers are a major benefac-

League is not always the top sales tax draw for Scottsdale, a city that hosts a number of high-profile events at the beginning of every year, including the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction and Waste Management Phoenix Open. Beyond the East Valley, the rest of the state benefits economically from the Cactus League as well. A 2018 study from Arizona State University’s W.P. Carey School of Business indicated that the Cactus League generated a total economic output of $644.2 million

tor. The city collected $3,558,035 in bed tax collections in March last year. That total accounted for nearly 18 percent of the city’s total bed tax collections last fiscal year. Scottsdale did not exceed $2.5 million in bed tax collections in any other month during that time. Mesa, which has a less robust hotel industry than Scottsdale, saw a similar trend. The city collected $790,380 in bed tax revenues in March 2018, good for 18.5 percent of its total bed tax collections in fiscal year 2017-18.

The $1,133,000 in bed tax collections in Tempe in March 2018 was the second highest monthly totals that fiscal year and marked 27.9 percent growth over the year prior. Though Cactus League has long been a money maker for host cities, those municipalities still make efforts to attract the most fans possible every March. Cactus League host cities are not just competing with each other for fans’ dollars every year, either. Neighboring cities also make an effort to attract fans across municipal lines to boost sales at retailers, restaurants and hotels. Municipalities without teams like Chandler and Gilbert have funded targeted ad campaigns for this purpose. Chandler Tourism Manager Kimberly Janes said that March is a peak month for hotel occupancy in Chandler and demand for rooms is generally quite high and that the city targets out-of-town visitors from a number of feeder cities, including coldweather communities and drive markets. Last Year, Gilbert Tourism Administrator Glenn Schlottman said the town invested in weather-related ad campaigns targeted at fans who attended baseball games at the Oakland Coliseum in California and Wrigley Field in Chicago. Those venues are the homes of the Oakland Athletics and Chicago Cubs, respectively, both teams that play Cactus League ball in nearby Mesa. Those campaigns appear to be working out for Chandler and Gilbert. Gilbert collected $96,761.71 from the sale of accommodations in March 2018, its highest single monthly total for 2018. The town’s total sales tax collections of $5,735,488.58 made March the third highest grossing month of the year. Chandler saw a similar trend. The city’s total bed tax revenues for March sales were the highest of the last fiscal year at $609,335, and the city’s sales tax revenue from restaurants and bars was $1,147,600, the second-highest monthly total of 2017-18. Much like their neighbors in the East Valley, Chandler and Gilbert experienced significant sales tax revenue growth in March over prior years.

CACTUS LEAGUE from page 14

The revenue rise is somewhat surprising for all cities involved considering overall Cactus League attendance was down in 2018 to 1.77 million people from 1.91 million the year prior, according to an East Valley Tribune report from April 2018. That decline was due, in part, to shortened schedules for some teams as the league hosted 24 fewer games in 2018 than it did in 2017. Both the Cubs and Giants hosted 16 home games in 2018 after having 17 and 18 home games in 2017, respectively. Some Cactus League officials also attributed the lower attendance to a slow February start. The Cactus League will get an early start again this year on February 21, though it will again see its total games fall, from 234 in 2018 to 228 in 2019. Still, Cactus League President Jeff Meyer said attendance numbers could a get a big boost at the end of March when fans have the rare chance to see two of Major League Baseball’s most popular teams – the Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox – face off in two games at Sloan Park in Mesa. The Red Sox’ Spring Training home is in Florida’s Grapefruit League, and the team does not typically travel to Arizona for games.

Chandler Council OKs $500 million bond for Intel BY JASON STONE Tribune Staff Writer

I

ntel wants to keep the good times rolling in Chandler. The City Council is doing its part to help out. The city last week approved the issuance of Industrial Development Revenue bonds with the computer giant that will give the company access to half a billion dollars in bond money to help with its local expansion and other projects. “It just shows their commitment to the community that they’re willing to go after a half-a-billion-dollar bond in order to fulfill their project,” Councilmember Matt Orlando said. In its 50 years as a company, Intel has spent nearly 40 of them in Arizona. It currently has two plants in Chandler – the Chandler Campus at 5000 W. Chandler Blvd. and the Ocotillo Campus at 4500 S. Dobson Road. Jason Bagley, the director of state government relations for Intel, said the company has invested close to $30 billion in manufacturing capacity in Chandler since 1996. Additionally, he said Intel is responsible for a $5.5 billion economic im-

Border wall should make sense, not politics as usual BY DAVID LEIBOWITZ Tribune Columnist

A

bout a year ago, I moved into a new place and found myself for the first time in my life living in a gated community. The gate wasn’t much of a selling point, to be honest, at least compared to amenities like location, cost and proximity to my favorite golf course and the grocery store. But still, I’ve come to appreciate the sense of security offered by life inside a more-secure border. All of which explains exactly why I believe that President Trump’s proposed border wall is not the scandalous, shameful concept his political opponents claim it to be. The Arizona-Mexico border was one of the first places I visited upon moving to this state in 1995. I’ve traveled down there many times in the years since, both as a journalist and a tourist. I’ve interviewed border mayors, ranch-

17

ers, sheriffs and merchants, and been taken on multiple tours of the favorite routes used by drug smugglers and human traffickers. My admittedly simple-minded analysis of the situation is as follows: The United States of America is a magnet for all sorts of people. Most of them are good, but some of them are evil in the extreme. While our nation will never stop everyone who wants to do us harm, we would be wise to control to the greatest extent possible who comes and goes at edges of our country. Thus, a border wall makes practical sense. Unfortunately, we live in a time where virtually nothing is considered practically when it can be screamed about for political purposes. With that in mind, anything proposed by a Republican will be loathed by Democrats. And vice versa. And few things are more loathed by Dems than President Trump’s “big, beautiful wall.” Here’s southern Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva on the subject: “This wall, this fantasy,

this political promise that was inane when (President Trump) made it and it continues to be inane, is not the solution.” Grijalva is part right, of course: A wall alone would never be enough to secure America’s borders. That’s why the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, which started building six miles of new wall in the Rio Grande Valley a few weeks back, also included “detection technology, lighting, video surveillance, and an all-weather patrol road parallel to the levee wall” in the package. I’d absolutely concede that even this comprehensive “enforcement zone” will not deter every smuggler and criminal intent on entering America. As any Game of Thrones viewer can tell you, even a miles-high wall can be breached by an evildoer who combines determination and criminal skill in the right measure. Even so, lack of 100-percent effectiveness is no reason to abandon building a

border wall. Nor is the existence of a tall ladder or the possibility that someone might build a tunnel, as smugglers in Naco and Douglas have been digging for years. To me, a secure border, enhanced by a wall, would aid us in establishing a more humane immigration policy, including one that acknowledges the existence and contributions to America made daily by most of the 12 million undocumented folks currently inside our borders. Me, I look at a wall as a logical starting point. But then again, I’m not this President or Speaker Nancy Pelosi. For them, everything is political – especially the things they deny as political. “It has nothing to do with politics,” Pelosi has proclaimed about the wall. “It has to do with a wall is an immorality between countries. It’s an old way of thinking.” Spoken like someone protected around the clock by an armed security detail. And who, like me, assuredly lives behind a wall someplace very, very safe indeed.

4 EV girls take gold in inaugural state wrestling meet BY BRITTANY BOWYER Tribune Contributing Writer

P

rescott Valley – The East Valley made a strong showing in Arizona’s firstever girls high school state wrestling championships Feb. 8, winning titles in four of the 10 weight classes. Two other East Valley wrestlers took second places and four more took home medals as top-four placers. “It feels awesome being surrounded by all of the great energy,” said Chandler High’s Stefana Jelacic, state champion in the 118-pound class. “It’s great and inspiring, honestly. I’m a good wrestler and these girls are inspiring me to work harder so I can inspire them.” The Arizona Interscholastic Association, the governing body of high school sports in the state, introduced girls wrestling this season and sanctioned the inaugural state tournament. Jelacic joins Sierrah Thrun of Corona del Sol (110 pounds), Julia Chambers of Skyline (125 pounds) and Jennifer Curry of Hamilton (160 pounds) in making history as gold medalists in the inaugural state

championships. Jelacic claimed her title with a pin in the first period over Cynthenie Tai of Washington. Jelacic, a junior, was the heavy favorite to claim the gold after winning sectionals and improving to a spotless record. She has competed across the country and is a former freestyle wrestling national champion, in the 112-pound weight class at the 2017 Junior National Championships. The 125-pound championship match was the first to pit East Valley wrestlers against each other. Chambers, a sophomore, who began wrestling when she was in the third grade, pinned freshman Trinity Howard of Basha in the first period. “I’m really honored to be the very first,” Chambers said. “I knew I could do it. I’ve been practicing, working really hard and it all paid off.” It was a tough loss for Howard, but she has a promising future in Basha’s booming wrestling program. While none of their girls took the top spot in the competition, the Bears did have the most girls qualify for state with five, four of them medaling. Hamilton’s Curry pinned Layla Velas-

quez of San Pasqual in the second period, improving her record to 15-0 and sending the senior off on a high note.

Curry started wrestling only last year, and she says she knew she was lacking experience in large competitions like the state meet. That, she said, motivated her to work harder every day. “All of the hard work paid off, all of the three-a-day practices, my coach making me wake up in the morning when I didn’t want to and doing all the physical and demanding exercises that wrestling takes,” Curry said. “Honestly, hard work pays off.” Corona’s Thrun was the first from the East Valley to win a girls state title, at 110 pounds, in the second match of the night. She defeated Genesis An Cejudo of Desert Mountain in a 10-0 decision. Sofia Rubio of Marcos de Niza joined Howard as a runner up, falling to Mia Didur of Centennial in a 10-0 decision at 185 pounds. Four others from the East Valley reached the consolation match and earned medals. Arianna Erb of Dobson took fourth at 101 pounds, Camry Carter of Casteel took fourth at 125, Amber Rodriguez of Basha was fourth at 145 and Taylor Haney of Basha was third at 225.

Chandler wrestling impresses at state tournament BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

Still, Chandler coach Vidal Mejia believes his team could have placed higher. “We thought we should have done better,” Mejia said. “Next year we expect to improve on our finish. Now we just have to start working toward that.” Two Chandler wrestlers won a state title, while two others finished third. Sophomore Zach Espalin, who won the state title last season in the 106-pound class, won at 113. Nathaniel Deasey, another sophomore, won at 220.

Rick Garretson settles in as Wolves football coach BY ZACH ALVIRA Tribune Sports Editor

T

he first thing to know about new Chandler High football coach Rick Garretson is that he is no whistleblower. That separates him from others in his family. He is the son of the late Darell Garretson, a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer as an NBA referee; brother of Ron, an NBA referee for more than 30 seasons; and uncle of Jason, who played basketball at Mesquite High and now also is a basketball official. Despite the family’s long history of whistling while they work, Rick Garretson’s passion always was football, initially playing it and now coaching it. He has taken over the state’s premier big-school program, Chandler High, which won the past three 6A titles and four of the past five, and has become a fixture in national top-25 rankings. “You have to have a burning desire to do that, and I never had it,” Garretson said of basketball officiating. “It’s funny. My dad would always try to give me pointers and grade my performance on the field, but I knew he didn’t know anything about football.”

Longtime Chandler High assistant football coach Rick Garretson was promoted to head coach in January. (Chandler High School photo)

Garretson came to Chandler High nine years ago, hired as wide receivers coach by former Wolves coach Jim Ewan. In 2012, under coach Shaun Aguano, whom he succeeds, Garretson was promoted to quarterbacks coach and passing-game coordinator. He was named co-offensive coordinator in 2016 amid Chandler’s title dynasty. The continuity of the coaching staff to mentor a roster deep in prospective college talent played a vital role in Chandler’s rise to national prominence. During his time as an assistant, Garret-

son worked directly with some of Arizona’s most notable quarterback prospects, including Seattle Seahawks quarterback Brett Hundley, University of Virginia quarterback Bryce Perkins, Garretson’s son and former Oregon State quarterback Darell Garretson, Oregon State quarterback Mason Moran and most recently Brigham Young signee Jacob Conover. Before he arrived at Chandler, Garretson coached wide receivers for a year at Westminster High in California before returning to his alma mater, Servite (Calif.). Garretson remained at Servite for 16 years, including offensive coordinator from 1995 to 2004. A former receiver, Garretson was a High School All-American and received All-CIF honors. He went on to play at San Diego State from 1974 to 1978. “Chandler High School is proud to welcome Rick Garretson as its next head football coach,” athletic director Jim Culver said. “Coach Garretson brings with him a wealth of experience both as a player and as a coach.” Aguano resigned to become running backs coach at Arizona State. Chandler High players were excited when they were informed of Garretson’s promotion to lead the program.

“The boys, the parents, I probably had more than 300 text messages,” Garretson said. “Now we feel like we have a sense of direction again so we are ready to go.” Keeping the coaching staff together was important to Garretson, as well as to the players. “All of the things that these guys bring to the table that allows us to do the things we do, it’s never a one-man show,” Garretson said. “You are only as good as the people you surround yourself with. To be able to keep those guys here and move forward is very exciting.” Garretson does not plan to change much in how the program operates. Practices still will be scripted with a college-like atmosphere. The first-team defense and offense still will compete against each other every day. With an abundance of returning talent on both sides of the ball, as well as soon-to-be sophomores and juniors moving up to varsity, a smooth transition is anticipated. “The biggest thing was keeping the tradition of ‘ohana’ and ‘makoa,’” Garretson said of the brotherhood that Aguano created. “We expect success, we don’t look at failure. “I’m going to take the Sean McVay attitude: We are going to be aggressive and expect to succeed.”

Family Affair: The 5 Browns make classical music on 5 pianos BY LAURA LATZKO GET OUT Contributor

T

he 5 Browns have changed the genre of classical music while they play it on five pianos. The three sisters and two brothers, who all went to the Juilliard School, have topped the Billboard classical charts and brought a youthful energy to their genre, which they bring to Chandler Center for the Arts on March 2. From Utah, The 5 Browns are separated by six and a half years. They each started learning piano at about age 3 and often would play four-handed music or duets together. The five have performed together for 15 years. For the upcoming concert, they will bring a broad repertoire from their time together, including the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven’s “Symphony No. 5 in C Minor, Op. 67,” George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” Igor Stravinsky’s “The

Firebird” and Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Flight of the Bumblebee.” During concerts, the siblings perform solos, duets and five-piano pieces. Ryan Brown, the youngest of the group,

said these arrangements allow listeners to learn about the musicians. “People can get a chance to see our individual personalities and then they get to see how we mesh together as a fam-

ily onstage and play these orchestral arrangements on five pianos,” he said. “I think people can see the differences in our styles and personalities in general.” By the time they were teenagers, the Brown siblings had to make a decision about whether to pursue music as a career. Gregory Brown, the middle child, said a music career comes with challenges, especially with traveling all the time, but he can’t imagine doing anything else. “At the end of the day, I think about a life without music and what that would look like and what that would feel like, and I just can’t imagine my life without music in it. I think it would be far less rewarding and meaningful,” Gregory said. The siblings have developed a rapport with each other onstage and often joke and banter.

Contemporary Arts Museum unveils 5 exhibitions for spring GET OUT STAFF REPORT

M

esa Contemporary Arts Museum has unveiled five exhibitions for its spring season, which continues through March for some of the art and into April for others.

Angels and Carnivorous Flowers

Carrie Ann Baade, a 2018 proposal winner, displays her lush oil paintings through April 14. Her pieces link historical masterworks with contemporary experience. She mines images from antiquity to the modern era and uses these pieces as a foundation to construct surreal landscapes inhabited by otherworldly figures and electric flora and fauna. The artist establishes a dialogue with the past, injecting a contemporary voice and reinterpreting the historical fragments using her original feminist and autobiographical perspective.

First Impressions

This exhibition is a 5-year retrospective (2015-2019) of the museum’s annual print calendar and remains on display

who made the selection choices each year: Aaron Coleman, Jean Makin, Dan Mayer, Mark McDowell and Wendy Willis. Individual prints are for sale. All proceeds benefit MCA Museum exhibitions and engagement programs.

T

wo classic Shakespearean romantic comedies, “As You Like It” and “The Taming of the Shrew,” highlight the Southwest Shakespeare Company’s 25th anniversary spring season at Mesa Arts Center. Arizona’s only full-season professional classical theater presents these two enduring and important works by Shakespeare Feb 23 through March 9. “As You Like It,” bursting at the seams with laughter and love, is directed by SSC’s new artistic director, Quinn Mattfeld, following his critically acclaimed

The plays will be presented in repertory at Mesa Arts Center’s Piper Auditorium using SSC’s innovative Jacobean facade set piece. Southwest Shakespeare Company was founded in 1994 by educators who wanted to create a modern-day people’s theater inspired by Shakespeare, where audiences are encouraged to make contact with the artists through talk-backs, backstage tours or seminars.

Having lived 30-something-odd years with each other, you really come to know a person inside and out,” Gregory said.

regularly. “I feel like the older that we get, the easier it is for us to get along musically and in our personal and married lives, as well,” Ryan said. “We actually are really good friends. We like hanging out with each other. We enjoy each other’s company.” When the siblings know the music, they need only a day to rehearse before a tour. To learn new music, they set aside a week or two to work on the arrangements. Gregory said they are much more organized than when they started. Over the years, the music has changed as they have grown as a group and as individuals. “You grow up as siblings, and you’re used to just pushing each other’s buttons all the time and arguing,” Gregory said. “We realized very quickly that’s not the most efficient way to work with your coShe creates complex images from simple lines and shapes that have been repeated in an orderly, obsessive manner. Among the work in this exhibition are mirrored patterns inspired by an eclectic mix of subjects, such as tribal tattoos, historical textiles, curled ribbons, psychedelic art of the ’60s and intricate patterns formed by a decorative interlocking tessellated shape.

workers. We’ve had to learn how to err on the side of kindness, to be nicer to each other, to be more respectful. “We’ve gotten better with our practicing but, just as musicians in general, I think we’ve matured a lot. I think the more life that you live, the more experiences you go through, the more joy you experience, the more pain you experience, the better you are at infusing that into the art of music making.” Music has brought the Brown family closer through tough times, especially in the last few years. Recently, the family opened their lives to the public with a documentary, Digging Through the Darkness: The 5 Browns Story. Ben Niles’ 2016 film delves into the Brown family’s history through videos of rehearsals, interviews, family archives and performance footage, sharing details

Survival Instincts

Ceramic artist Elliott Kayser’s work is on display through April 21. Using the cow as a symbol for America’s agricultural landscape, Kayser’s clay sculpture links the viewer to the land, its history and cultural beliefs. Kayser began working with family farmers and learned how the forfeiting of responsibility for our resources has

of their musical journey as well as their personal lives. In documentary, the three Brown sisters revealed that their father sexually abused them. By sharing their stories and starting a foundation for sexual abuse survivors, the sisters have impacted the lives of other women. The Chandler Center for the Arts will host a free screening of the documentary on Friday, Feb. 22. “My sisters are the closest thing to reallife heroes who I’ve ever encountered in my life,” Gregory said. Ryan said music has helped the family to heal. “I think during the course of the trying times of filming the documentary and discussing such difficult things that we were able to find some happiness through the music and through the connection with each other,” Ryan said. led to the loss of these farms and the careful stewardship of land and animal they have historically overseen. His work seeks to re-establish a connection to the means of production of our food and in doing so renew the value we place on our resources. Kayser is the 39th annual contemporary crafts exhibition Juror’s Choice winner.
